Full Metal Alchemist Retrospective: FMA vs. FMA:Brotherhood An Analysis
So when I first started this earlier in the day, I was merely reviewing Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood as part of the Full Metal Alchemist retrospective. But after I finished I quickly realized that it was practically the exact same review as my review of Full Metal Alchemist. In order to save myself from the dregs of redundancy, I decided to scrap my original review and do something a little different. So just as I did a year ago with my compare and contrast of Battle Royale and The Hunger Games, I have decided to do it again. Considering the similarities between FMA and FMA Brotherhood it feels like a very fitting way to look at two great series and decide which of the two is a better series. So what I will be doing is looking at both series and decide which of them is the superior. Keep in mind, I have nothing but positive things to say about both series. They are phenomenal, so this is a competition of the best of the best.
To be clear before we get started, for those of you who have do not know or have not seen it, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is not a remake or sequel to the original series but more of a retelling. It is a similar story to the original with many of the same characters, only instead it follows more of its manga source material. So with that in mind, let's get started.
Full Metal Alchemist Pros
Sloth and Wrath and Their Connection with the Elric Brothers and Izumi
It is well-known in both series that Edward, Alphonse, and their teacher Izumi Curtis attempted a human transmutation with Edward and Al trying to bring back their mother and Izumi attempting to bring back her baby. It is also established that human transmutations are the way to create homunculi, who are one of the series primary villains. Unlike Brotherhood where the homunculi have no connection to the Elrics or Izumi, in this series we see a walking talking manifestation of their sins in the homunculi Sloth and Wrath, Sloth being Ed and Al's mom and Wrath being the adolescent version of Izumi's child with Ed's missing arm and leg. While I do like the Brotherhood version of Pride more than the original version and it wouldn't be possible without this change… I have to say that I love the inclusion of Izumi's baby and Ed and Al's mom as villainous homunculi. It is a physical manifestation of Izumi and the Elrics sins in front of them, staring at them, and reminding them of the taboo alchemy that they attempted.
It is in my opinion a very intelligent way to make the enemies more 'personal'. They aren't just the bad guys, they have to face the physical manifestation of their dead mother and son. They created these monsters and it becomes their responsibility to eliminate them.
A More Clear Cut and Nefarious Nemesis
Sometimes it is good to know who the bad guys are and the first series of FMA does a good job at drawing the lines between the bad guys and the good guys. It is clear from the beginning that Dante, the Homunculi, and side characters like Archer and Kimblee are villainous. This wouldn't be so much of a pro if I didn't think that Brotherhood blurred the lines on so many characters to the point that it almost becomes convoluted and confusing. FMA is much more clear-cut and because of this I feel that the show has more of an opportunity to expand on the relationships and plot of the characters and less of the intrigue. Which isn't necessarily bad as much as it makes FMA superior in that regard.
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Pros
The Setting and Political Intrigue of Amestris and Surrounding Countries
My degree is in International Studies and I am obtaining my Master's in Political Science… So I am always happy to see some more international politics mixed into a story. Unlike the first series who doesn't even mention the name of Amestris, Brotherhood dives head first into the politics of Amestris and its surrounding countries of Drachma, Creta, and Aerugo as well as the distant country of Xing. You see just how much the rest of the world hates Amestris and its warmongering ways as well as the formation of the gigantic transmutation circle. Because of this, you get to know Amestris a lot more. It is no longer a nameless entity as much as it is a character within the setting. You can see its formation, its history, and its relationships with the countries around it. Adding this to the series really enhances what makes Brotherhood a phenomenal series.
A More Intricate and Darker Story
The look and feel of Brotherhood is by far a much darker story. With plot points such as Havoc being paralyzed, Mustang slowly burning Lust to death over and over again, the inclusion of a far more sadistic Pride and a nefarious Father, not to mention the inclusion of settings such as the tunnels and the freezing cold north. The setting is much darker and in a way much better. I enjoy my stories dark and loaded with intricate stories and Brotherhood has that above its counter part. Watching the creation of a philosopher's stone from the people of Xerxes, the desires of the villains, the war, and the political upheaval in Amestris are covered in more detail and the plot benefits greatly from this.
After it is all said and done, I find myself making the difficult choice between two great series. Both have their own merits and are great in their own right… But if I have to choose, I would say that Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is superior to the original series. It is more true to the source material, is a much more darker, thought-provoking story, and the politics included in the series are just too good for me to pass up. Out of the two, FMA Brotherhood wins by just a nose.

Eyebrows, a touchy subject. Everyone has their own idea of how their eyebrows should look, personally for me I like how I do mine I wish they were naturally darker and thicker but I get by. I don't like thin brows or brows that are rounded at the front but what's MY opinion each to their own. I have naturally thin light brown eyebrows and that don't have a lot of shape, I was never an over plucker nor did I shave them off they are just a bit crap.
I have had them waxed and threaded but threading makes me feel sick, squishing my eyeball whilst the hairs are slowly being pulled away isn't my idea of fun – waxing however does not bother me. I haven't had them done in months as I am trying to grow them to thicken but they were looking a bit worse for wear so on Wednesday I had a spontaneous trip to the salon to sort them out. I didn't take a before as it wasn't planned but they are a light brown with not a lot of shape...trust me this is a huge improvement.
The first image is a few hours after having them done - I had let the redness go down, I cleansed with a cream and flannel that night so didn't touch them. The second is the next morning when i washed my face with my usual cleanser and filled in the mid to tail with Illamasqua brow cake in Thunder.
If you live in Nottingham I would highly recommend B Beautiful especially if you haven't had much success in the past I now won't let anyone else touch my brows.


With the recent quieting of the geomagnetic field, resulting in K values of 0's and 1's, along with a positive-going DST value, the broadcast band on Wednesday and Thursday night was much more vibrant than it has been in several weeks.
Being located on the eastern shoreline of Mayne Island, the direction towards all of the U.S.A. is over many miles of saltwater, so my main interest is in domestic / U.S.A. DX.
Wednesday evening netted two new states on the BCB ... Kansas and Indiana, for states #27 and #28 respectively, both heard on the Perseus SDR and my 10' x 20' amplified loop.
KWOD, on 1660KHz, identifying as "The Business Channel", was logged during a short top-of-the-hour fade-up at 0600z (10PM local time). Their night power is listed as 1,000 watts while their day power is 10,000 watts.
The transmitter site is located in the middle of a quiet residential district of older homes ... on all four sides.
I shudder to think what RFI problems those living in the adjacent homes must suffer when they are on daytime power!
WSLM, on 1220KHz, was also logged at 0600z, during a two-minute fade-up and in the middle of the local weather report.
Interestingly, the station's night-power is listed as "82 watts", which, judging by the readability of their signal, was not the case. Perhaps the engineer just 'forgot' to switch from their daylight power of 5,000 watts!
Their phased antenna array puts their main lobes, due east and west, so evidently I was catching the northern edge of their pattern.
I have yet to check last night's recordings to see if conditions have held-up for two night's running ... more later if so.
This morning I completed the wiring of the test-bed MOPA's Hartley oscillator circuit. I was using the 80m tank at the time, wound with 3/16" copper tubing. Oscillator keying is about what I expected ... stable but with some ripple on the note. Even with DC on the filaments, many of these open-breadboard oscillators suffer from RF-modulated notes. Sometime wrapping the power supply or keying leads in a ferrite toroid help or eliminate the slight rasp. On the other hand, some builders prefer to have a note that sounds more '29-like, as in all likelihood, not many notes sounded like pure DC back in the day.
I'm really having second thoughts about my construction method and may just jump to the next (final) construction phase rather than slog through completion of the test-bed model. I've already learned much about the layout by getting to this stage and the extra work involved in completing the test-bed model may not tell me anything new.
I'm using a VT-25 version of the somewhat pricey and hard-to-find type '10' tube. The final version will be built in a similar fashion to my Tri-Tet-Ten, on an aluminum sheet atop the breadboard. Hopefully having the groundplane and shorter leads, will lead to a cleaner note in the final version.
I'm rather dreading this next final phase as there is little room for error. The aluminum sheet must be precisely pre-drilled, as well as the breadboard, and protected at all times (especially when making soldered connections) to prevent any finger marks or scratching on the aluminum sheet. There are still several drilling details to be worked out before I can move forward.
This past weekend's CLE191 activity focused on a small range from 260KHz - 269.9KHz as well as from 470KHz and above. From the looks of the Sun, you would think that conditions would have been pretty good but they were not. Except for a couple of brief propagation lifts in the early morning hours of Sunday and Monday, propagation was very poor over most parts of North America. Even though the sun looks quiet, there are two large coronal holes that have been creating geomagnetic disturbances, juggling the K index from 1 to 4 throughout the three-night activity.
In just a few years the Sun should be very very quiet for several winters, offering some superb LF listening once again.
WG2XSV (experimental callsign) will be running a CW beacon on 475.475 kHz for this event.
(In fact it is already running as of 0001 UTC 20 Feb).
Power is ~1 watt ERP (+/- 1 dB) from SW Washington State.
I'm sure Neil would be delighted to receive any heard reports from his weekend CW beacon. Remember that this CLE also covers the 630m band and CW beacons that may be operational there.
If you know of any other 630m CW beacons that will be activated, please let me know and I will post the information here.
Reports should include your exact location (Lat/Long preferred or exact Gridsquare), your full name and e-mail address in case Brian needs to send an enquiry regarding your log.
The finer-details of CLE191 may be found in Wednesday's blog.
Lets hope conditions stay nice and quiet as they appear to be doing.

Saturday evening's crossband operation was a fun time. Conditions were reasonably undisturbed and some things were learned about the potential of our 'new band'. I really do hope that US amateurs can gain access to the band soon as there appears to be much interest in this part of the spectrum by hams south of the border.
Operating at the specified top-of-the-hour time slots only, proved to be a good way to go as it relieved the boredom of calling CQ for hours at a time while providing a wide variance in propagation conditions throughout the evening.
0704z NO3M calls me on 80m to report my signal now solid 559 and we have a few exchanges. Eric is really burning the midnight-oil for this one and much appreciated.
One thing that was learned, and will be of interest to small backyard suburban locations, is that low 'cloudwarming' antennas will produce good strong signals both locally and on first-hop skywave stations. John's antenna system is both lower and smaller than my own and nowhere near the ocean. My antenna is probably about twice the height of John's and parallels the beach, almost suspended over the ocean and at an effective height of around 70' ... probably even more at low-tide ... yet, two stations (one in Washington) and one in Arizona, both reported John's signal slightly stronger than my own. Power-wise, I run a bit more output power as well. This bodes well for those who might be thinking that their low and short 630m antennas will not be effective radiators ... It seems that our new band is very forgiving and that not all of the RF is being used to cook earthworms after all!
My thanks go to all of those amateurs that took the time to work us, as well as those that sent SWL reports (received from WA, AZ, IL and CA) ... without your interest, there would be no event.
With two more VE7 stations now on the band (VE7CNF and VA7MM), it is great to see the interest building. It will soon be possible to call CQ and actually have another station respond, on 630m!
Hopefully, one more crossband evening can be had before the winter conditions vanish and maybe, by next season, there will be more VE stations on the other side of the Rockies to talk to!
Just a reminder about the 630m crossband activity night this evening. There have been two updates to the plan. VE7SL will start one hour later than originally planned and John, VE7BDQ, will be listening on both 160m and 80m QSX frequencies for callers.
John will operate from 0200Z (1800 PST) - 0700Z (2300 PST) while I will start one hour later. Both stations will call several CQs at the top of each hour segment, at full eirp, and listen for any callers on the specified calling frequencies.
The last time this was done, transcontinental contacts were completed ... hopefully conditions will continue to co-operate and propagation will be good tonight.
This past week, Les Rayburn (N1LF), compared his yearn for the start of spring baseball to the late spring return of summer VHF openings, with this delightfully nostalgic post to the VHF reflector.
It occurred to me this morning that being a VHF operator is a lot like being a baseball fan. It was warm and sunny here yesterday, and this morning the air has that first touch of Spring in it.
Sure, there arestill cold days ahead--but you just have that feeling that we've turned the corner on Winter. The days are getting a bit longer, and the sun doesn't set quite so early anymore.

Another few small steps were taken this past weekend in the construction of my 1929-style MOPA, previously described in earlier blogs. Now that all of the parts have been either procured or manufactured, I've been playing with developing a suitable layout.
I've always liked the longer, skinnier appearance of breadboard rigs compared to the short, deeper ones and have combined this look with my love of the early 30's style. This was a transitional period in construction methods, as fabrication slowly changed from breadboard to metal chassis construction. The period in between involved mounting a metal sheet on top of a wooden breadboard, taking on an attractive 'art-deco' appearance, also popular in this period. A good example of this type of construction is seen in George Grammer's landmark 'tritet' oscillator rig which I duplicated several years ago, in a much modified version, for 10m CW.
The new MOPA will take on a similar appearance, with an aluminum plate over a mahogany breadboard. The tentative parts layout is shown below, minus the metal plate. I used the photograph to plan the wiring and to make layout notes.
Although this early 30's style is visually attractive and offers the advantage of shorter and more efficient ground connections, it is a bit of a nightmare to construct. Many of the parts must be both mounted and insulated on the groundplane, while other connections must go through and under the breadboard chassis ... but I think the overall result will be worth it.
One of the hardest vintage components to source are era-appropriate fixed resistors. Even when found, so many of the original ones have drifted in value and cannot really be trusted to stabilize. Accordingly, I have manufactured all of the ones needed, using more modern brown-body resistors.
First, the color bands were sanded off and then reproduction "OHMITE" labels were made, very similar to the original style.
The labels were then glued to the resistor bodies and given an orange color-wash using highly diluted acrylic paint. It would be nice to find good originals but these should work as a suitable substitute and will certainly maintain their value for many years.
The next job will be to fasten all of the components to the test-bed, wire it up and test everything out before stripping and rebuilding the finished version ... lots of work still ahead.
My old single-tube Hartley is starting to look not so bad after all!
Since getting the new 630m band (472-479KHz) here in Canada, one of my favorite ways of promoting interest in the new band has been 'crossband' activity ... that is, transmitting on 630m while the other stations transmit on a predetermined HF (QSX) frequency, usually on 80 or 160m. There are many amateurs in the U.S. who are interested in getting the band as well as many Canadians that are interested in getting on the band and the crossband activity usually generates a lot of interest. Both myself and John, VE7BDQ, have enjoyed making several crossband contacts this past winter and will once again be soliciting crossbanders this coming Saturday evening.
Our plan is to operate from 0200Z through 0700Z, (1800-2300 PST Saturday). Beginning at the top of the hour, we will both be calling CQ on CW and listening for any callers on HF. CQ's will continue until there are no more callers and will begin again at the next top of hour time slot. This should allow for a wide variation in propagation and the possibility of eastern contacts as the evening progresses.
It is hoped that as many stations as possible will give a listen for us and be able to call on one of the HF QSX frequencies. Both John and myself will be running at the maximum allowable eirp for the duration of the activity.
If you have not had a look for any 630m stations, hopefully you will take the opportunity this coming Saturday night ... you really do not need any special antennas for receiving on 630m. Many of the stations that I have worked on crossband have been using HF dipoles for low-noise reception.
I'll be promoting this event on several of the reflectors and groups that I regularly enjoy and I also invite you to pass the word on to others. Please watch the blog for further updates.
See you Saturday I hope!
Regular readers will likely recall my early January blog describing the sudden and very unwelcome appearance of a severe noise problem badly affecting my LF reception. I had spent an afternoon D/F'ing the noise source (which was being radiated via the local power lines), only to discover that the residence in question was not occupied ... and has been vacant for the past seven weeks as the noise continued.
Yesterday I noticed that the home was once again occupied and this morning, with radio in hand, I paid visit. It seems that the part-time residents had been spending the past several weeks in Hawaii and had just returned to the house to check up on things. I explained to the owner what I believed to be the problem and, as suspected, it was a CFL light ... a particularly noisy one. Turning the light on and off quickly verified the culprit light and swapping the bulb out for a different one produced no observable noise, as was the case for one that had been left switched-on in the living room.
Whether the offending bulb was just a poorly designed one, a very early manufactured model or one that was about to fail, I do not know ... but I am amazed at the strength of the QRN (and QRM) that the bulb was able to produce at such a distance, about ten properties away!
The owner was very concerned that he had unknowingly caused a problem and was very apologetic, as I have found with similar situations in the past.
One of the worst was also a CFL bulb that had actually burned-out and was located in a nearby (three properties away) crawl space. When finally traced, the bulb was heavily charred and had partially melted at the base, yet was still producing an ear-shattering level of crud right into the HF spectrum.
In cases like these, it is often difficult to get an accurate D/F on the signal through normal means since the signal is being propagated via the overhead powerlines. Attempts to D/F the signal almost always point to the closest powerline and not to the signal source. Usually such a noise generator will be confined to your local power grid ... that is, the homes that are powered between the two large power distribution transformers in your local neighborhood. In my case, this limits the search to about 15 homes.
I have found that the best way to tackle this is to make a 'noise map' and to try and measure the noise intensity at a similar point for each property - ie. directly beneath the powerline as it enters the property. This will usually put you at the same vertical distance from the line and will give you a better noise sample that is directly (or not) associated with that property. After mapping this out, if the culprit property is not obvious, then you will at least have narrowed it down to a very few choices. Other types of noise, that can be detected into the VHF range, are probably best detected using normal D/F methods.
After bringing the offending bulb home, I Google-searched the product name and number and came up with a 'product recall' for this particular model.
"According to a Health Canada and Electrical Safety report, the lamp may overheat and melt the enclosure exposing live parts, posing a risk of fire and/or electric shock."
Apparently they were indeed manufactured incorrectly and it's just as well that it was found and removed before causing serious damage!
Once again LF sounds as it should. Hopefully it can remain this way for a long time but with the proliferation on noise-making appliances and 'improvements', I have my doubts.
The following message was sent to Yahoo Group's ndblist members early this morning, from Brian Keyte (G3SIA), CLE activity co-ordinator. Perhaps you are a member that doesn't get the mail or maybe a non-member that occasionally reads the group postings but missed the message. In any event, this short survey would help Brian to keep up with your ideas and activity when it comes to CLE planning. All that is needed is to 'copy and paste' the questionnaire into an email and send it to Brian's address, listed in the message.
I'm the chap who looks after our monthly Co-ordinated Listening Events (CLEs).
About 70 of our NDB List members have taken part in recent CLEs - and the other 550 members haven't. Only about 250 members have ever sent a CLE log (including all ex-members), so more than 300 current members haven't.
If you are one of the 300+, do you sometimes look at our monthly CLE results and maybe find bits of them interesting or useful?
This is NOT a sales pitch to try and make you take part, welcome though that would be! However, if several 'non-CLE' Members are finding the results helpful, I would like to know whether we might improve the way the results are presented to make them more understandable and more useful to our members generally?
Please just edit the 7 questions below to show your answers.
I will keep your reply confidential and I will try to acknowledge all replies individually - there may be just yours or there might be 100 of them !!
1. How often have you found any individual listener's CLE log of interest?
2. How often have you looked at any of the CLE combined results?
3. (if any) Which results were of interest?
Things in the 'Co-ordinator's Comments' emails after the events.
4. Did you find that the results needed further explanation?
5. If 'Yes' how could they, or anything else, be improved?
6. Have you sent your own listening log(s) to NDB List?
"For practical reasons, it is recommended that an optical system using Fresnel lenses be designed using lenses that have an F-number in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 - that is, around 1. Remember: The "F-number" is the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens, so for an F-number of unity or one, the diameter of the lens would be the same as its focal length."
The lens was able to bring a small LED flashlight (consisting of an array of 21 white LEDs) into surprisingly sharp focus although the shot below does not reflect that due to my camera's poor focus in the darkened room.
The glass 4.5" magnifying lens proved to have a focal point of 203mm for an F number of 1.8. This lense produced an even sharper image of the same light source and may be the best candidate for the portable receiver although the larger aperture of the fresnel might not be worth counting out at this point.
The fresnel may work well for a transmitter and will likely require a small (inexpensive) secondary focusing lens between the LED and the fresnel, in order to have the LED efficiently illuminate the fresnel. The secondary should effectively gather and focus as much of the emitted LED light to just within the boundaries of the fresnel without any wasted light energy being lost to spill-over at the edges.
It would be great to have a permanent lightwave 'beacon' that one could test various receiver lenses and combinations but at present there is very little activity here in VE7 land ... although that is changing, with the interest of another local, VE7IGH (Greg) near Vancouver and right across Georgia Strait from my location. Grant has already built a receiver and will soon start on transmitter construction ... way to go Greg!

Rising Star Nyota Parker On Staying True to The Art of Music
At the age of 22, Nyota Parker's musicality and worldview is mind-blowing to say the least. Born in Ireland, with a Congolese and Irish heritage, a non-conformist with a sharp South African upbringing and global appeal.
The first instance I heard the music, I got struck by her eccentric and soothing vocals which instantly took me to a frenzy. She's currently based in the United States where she's pursuing her music career as she puts it "I'm really enjoying the opportunities here, it's a lot easier to create something for yourself here".
When listening to her music, one can't go without mentioning her great command of language and an understanding of the complexities of prosody. Nyota Parker's sound is experimental and impressively finely tuned; a fusion of different elements. What stands out the most and that which is reminiscent is her undeniable forte for Rap and Soul music which she dives into when creating her own records. To date she has released four music projects beginning with her first mixtape, Age Of Enlightenment in 2016, followed by Purification, then Energy and now her most recent album Spectrum in 2021.
In Her Seat: Nyota Parker. Photo supplied
She approaches music with sophistication and simplicity. You'd have to read the lyrics to understand what I mean. On Spectrum, which she says is her most solid album, she explores ideas about self-growth, identity and freedom of thought as demonstrated in the song Run: "But you proved that you will bend to all their rules. While I bend the rules". And on track 2-Spectrum, she continues to reaffirm the notion of independency: "I just want to make my own songs and end up being stable. I don't want no label sitting in a play round table. I don't want no CEO telling me who to relate to. I've already learned that through trials and tribulations".
The album is a precognition of the type of artist she is and what she stands for. She attributes her confidence and sense of independence to her upbringing "I was raised by my mom and her side of the family in South Africa, I'm really thankful for that. I've been shaped into the person and artist I am today because of the values that were literally drilled into my head, like never allowing someone else to dictate my life to me," she says to Tha Bravado.
On her pre-eminent eight track album Spectrum, liberty to choose who she wants to be is a bastion to the theme and encapsulates the core assertion of the project. I'd describe the album as an enthralling enabling emergent collective consciousness of sonics tied together elegantly in harmony. She uses her voice and talent as a vehicle to ignite the spirit of freedom and emancipation. The tonality and lyricism exude an enigmatic and imaginative groove coupled with rhythms and poetry. I applaud her for the track variety and assortment she went for on the 2021 released album, for it sounds serendipitous. On certain songs she curated a "wavey" flow even if the songs are of an alternative genre which brought a youthfulness vibe.
My personal favorite song is Terms/Seasons, I enjoy how poetry and soulful it is – the opening lines resonate with me: "Music gets me through things but rap gets me. I think I'd rather suffer for my dreams. And die happy".
Moreover, she won my heart when I watched her NPR Tiny Desk Concert submission performance. It convinced me she's an all-rounded musician. I am looking forward to the new project which is said to drop sometime this year, mark my words she's a star on the rise and it's all thanks to that first amateur recording session back in 2016 in a "shoe closet…the homies shoe closet".

The Kemet Royal African Calendar: Our Redemption
7min26420
As I write this, many South Africans are celebrating the Easter Holidays and Good Friday, which is a misalignment when we refer to the African calendar because during this time the sun is moving away from the Southern hemisphere and is entering the Northern hemisphere. Hence we are getting into winter which signifies death or stagnancy, so it doesn't make sense to celebrate that, rather we used to celebrate spring which signifies rebirth and life as it's seen when the flowers bloom.
Colonization did not only take away our land, livestock and minerals, it also took with it our spirituality and sacred knowledge systems, and that is the reason we're still in bondage. But through the African calendar we could change all of this. The ancient African Royal calendar is of high significance in the decolonization process, for it's the basis of African knowledge systems and our redemption.
It's a passage and a gateway to greener pastures, and the ruling chief principle of all our knowledge system. Our entire civilization from the South to the North was built upon this phenomenon. Our existence centered around it, activities such as farming, tracking of time, prayer, ritualism and other key life components were guided by the teachings of the calendar. Like how the moon was known as the feminine principle and was used to calculate women's menstrual cycle, and the sun was the male principle and kept track of time and seasons. Since the majority of people in South Africa are Christians let's reference the Bible and look at the story of Moses who in his journey was guided and directed by stars, and even when Jesus was born the same theme occurs.
Moreover, the calendar was an instrument used to track cosmological movements so as to align humanity with the heavens. The Science and Mathematics of Astrology and Cosmology were derived from the calendar. It also gave us knowledge of seasons through studying the sun's movement and gaining understanding of the imperatives of cycles. Using modern terminology one could say it's similar to a Global Positioning System (GPS); it gives us directions and is a guiding device.
To the ancients the calendar was more than just a piece of information with dates, it was how the universe communicated. It was a way of life and they believed that everything is energy, and that when the stars and cosmological bodies move they emit energy and radiate certain vibrational frequencies which have a direct impact on earth and its affairs. For example, the African New Year is in the month modern people call September, this was known through careful studying of the equinoxes and solstices. The forefathers realized that during spring nature births or rebirths itself after having had come from autumn and winter. In the winter season nature temporarily dies or rather more precisely it hibernates before it could rise again in in spring, so it only makes sense that the new year be celebrated in the Spring Equinox when nature is anew.
It was understood that months and seasons have their own characteristics and vibrational frequency which embody life happenings on earth. Such knowledge gave birth to modern astrology, tarot reading and other spiritual or religious disciplines such as Christianity. The whole point was to master the laws of energy by synchronizing the people with the heavens. All this beautiful knowledge and sacred practices was stolen and hidden from us, to misalign us as we're today off-beat and not harmoniously flowing with nature.
The craziest thing is that the calendar which I am talking about still exists in South Africa, Mpumalanga province. This sacred place is where the ancients used to go for prayer, ritualism and alignment. Now it's entirely up to us, should we desire to be African again for the ancestors left us immense knowledge.
For a detailed study of this topic people should get ahold of Mkhulu Ntsingisa of The Great Empire Of Kemet, who has constructed a booklet version of the calendar and is also co-founder of The Zinzi Mandela foundation and a former student of the ascended grandmaster Baba Credo Vusamazulu Mutwa.

Squid Game Review: It Doesn't Get More Evil Than This
The first thing which comes to mind when I think of South Korean Netflix hit-show Squid Game is "money is the root of all evil". I have to admit I am a little bit late with my review and my excuse is that I have been writing so I couldn't find the perfect time to watch stuff. But now that I have finally checked it out, here's what I have to say.
Before I watched the series I asked a colleague who's a photographer, for his opinion and he said the language was a turnoff for him. When I heard that, I kinda lost enthusiasm because inasmuch as I'm a bookworm, I don't like going through subtitles. There I was on a Tuesday evening feeling cozy with a fawn-coloured throw over my lap and a cup of coffee stationed in my chair. The first intriguing thing I picked up was the hook and sound track of the game and also the white and green tracksuits which in my opinion look cool.
In turns out my colleague was wrong after all about the language being a turn off, well at least for me because I thought it brought out a particular mysticism which coincided well with the tension of not knowing what to expect from the games. Honestly I never anticipated the malevolence that followed but in my opinion the writer is a genius because he cleverly used a contradiction of two things far apart. He took an innocent and purity such as a children's game and linked it to evil desire. In doing so there's balance and the theme doesn't seem like a horror.

The core assertion of the series is based on the idea that cash rules the world and this statement is supported by how the characters were willing to risk their lives by playing the game of life and death. In the outside world characters' predicament is debt and a desire for riches and comfort and that's what lures them to the dark game.
I also like how the protagonist is not your typical hero who writers generally attribute good qualities. This guy is an idiot and a bum who stays with his old mother and has no job and always gets himself into trouble. His baby mama broke up with him and got married to a successful guy and took their daughter with. But the hero is still appealing because of his funny and goofy personality which makes him relatable and that works well in contradiction with the antagonist who is vile and cruel and would do anything to get his way.
One of the most important characters is the wise old man (in film theory the wise old man is the idea that every hero needs to have some kind of divine guardian and guidance which doesn't necessarily have to be a human, it could be God, the inner voice or a late parent) who is the adviser to the hero. The old wise man is the voice of reason which makes up for the hero's shortcomings and channels him to his journey. Perhaps the bravest and most heroic thing the hero did besides playing the game of life and death is fighting for his daughter and risking his life to save his old mother.

What kept me captivated to the story is the games; the suspense is nail biting and the tension makes you want to see what's going to happen next, which is wicked if you ask me because it's a matter of life and death. And that's why I say it doesn't get any eviler than that because the games make you numb to violence and brutality because it's just a game. The chronological incidents and flow of story is cool; It's like an arcade-game with stages and as you advance the more difficult and interesting it becomes. One could say each episode is a climax from the previous one. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Operation Dudula: Causing More Harm Than Good
This Operation Dudula business is to our demise as Africans and if we're not careful, wars will be created amongst ourselves that's if we're not already at war. Africans must unite and stop being cowards, the real enemy is the oppressor.
Nhlanhla Lux ideas and assertions about the deportation of undocumented foreign nationals as some sort of a remedy to combat issues such as crime, high unemployment and other burning matters, is misdirected effort however well-intentioned.
To begin with, when people speak of undocumented foreign nationals, we all know they're actually referring to other Africans who are living in South Africa. The self-hate amongst Africans is sickening, behind closed doors people still refer to these Africans as "makwerekwere;" which is indicative of how we as Africans we view ourselves. African people dare say the European must go back to his continent, but it's morally permissible to stone an African to death just because he doesn't have a piece of paper to validate his existence as a human, forgetting what the European did. The fact is, as people of Ntu (Ntu is the Supreme African God, hence we call ourselves Abantu), we find ourselves at rock bottom because of the oppressor but we keep looking elsewhere.
Operation Dudula's chief principle is that if we deport all the undocumented foreign nationals, then black South Africans will have jobs and crime rates will drop. This is pure gibberish, the reason black South Africans don't have jobs is because the oppressor killed our ancestors and stole our land and its resources. Our job as Africans is to work the land and nurture it so that it nurtures us in return. I am not even gonna talk about the corrupt black elite who benefits from greedy corporates and capitalism and is a loyal servant of a monstrous system that keeps raping Africa and its children. These scumbags have given the oppressor amnesty for his sins in return for riches. The European has never paid for his sins and he's not even apologetic, he walks as a free man because he knows he runs the machine.
Another matter that people like to reference when they're trying to run away from the fact that they hate other Africans, is the issue of crime. I personally didn't know that crime has a nationality, it appears that when an African from Zimbabwe or Nigeria or wherever in the vicinity of Africa commits a crime, there's emphasis and the crime is not treated as other crimes that might have been committed by others despite nationality. All criminals should be treated the same and the law must punish the perpetrators accordingly. And we should never forget that the biggest thieves and criminals are the ones who killed our ancestors and did all the other atrocities one could think of.
A cartoon by Carlos Amato, originally done for New Frame.
Isn't it ironic that when it comes to issues such as that of the Khoi and San people who are still not acknowledged nor recognised as people of this country there's no militancy; it seems as if we suffer from selective activism. Even when you fill forms there's no Khoi and San box to tick, this is a clear indication that the government doesn't care nor recognise the Khoi and San people, and mind you, we're talking about the aboriginal people of this land we call Mzansi Afrika. Not even their dialect is recognised in the eleven official languages, but surely, you can't miss English and Afrikaans, it's even written in bold.
As people of South Africa we have been fooled numerous times by our leaders. The youth mustn't be myopic when seeking new candidacy to fill in the position of a black messiah. To me, Operation Dudula is a quasi-colonial psychosis system and mass self-hypnosis. This is reanimation of the Pass Laws, the oppressor has taught us to afflict ourselves on his behalf. It's like the Isotope phenomenon, you can't use the same elements and or instruments to remedy a system that benefits from disunity and expect different results. We should always remember that, divide and conquer is ruthless tact but a genius plan.
Another important factor to note is that whenever there's politically ideological mass movements-vigilantism and mob justice are always accompanied by violence and war. It's belligerent. So even if the intention is pure or sincere things tend to go astray because you're dealing with individuals and many personalities. The great Ngugi Wathiong'o said it better: "you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs".
Tomy brother Nhlanhla Lux, your industrious energy, leadership skills and militant approach is remarkable and much needed to help bring the revolution but I don't agree with you on this one.

Social Media Clout Is Killing The Kids
How far are you willing to go to gain followers? There's a constant inclination on social media engagement and online activity – online digital media has indefinitely replaced traditional media. Brands and corporates are putting in a lot of money in online marketing collaborative brand partnerships and this has people desperate for followers.
Online viral video content creators and social media influencers are the go to for paid partnerships and advertising. Viral content has become a currency to this generation. The number of followers one has and things such as online presence are factors which play a key role in convergence and metrics such as pay per click (PPC), cost per click (CPC) and cost per view (CPV) determine how much money one could make. Social media influencers rely on clout to attract followers and they use these metrics to lure brand partnership deals and monetize.
The stakes are getting higher, social media is a billion dollar industry and its dominance is spreading at a rampant speed "Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the company plans to pay out $1 billion through 2022 to users who create content for its Facebook and Instagram social networks. It's one way the company hopes to attract influencers to create content for its platforms as it competes with other popular services, such as TikTok" (Salvador Rodriguez, CNBC, July 2021).

Controversy has become more appealing than telling compelling narratives, and this has got kids messed up. I could equate this to how gangster rap had black youths thinking guns and drugs are cool. It's one and the same thing, the youth is willing to do anything to trend even if it means negatively exposing themselves to the world. Oh, and don't get me started with social media self-proclaimed scholars who believe their opinions are set in stone. Everyone likes to believe their ideas to be omniscient and omnipotent – it seems as if everyone has Phd of some sort and they are experts and therefore have better acumen than everyone else. There's no room for constructive open dialogues, things always get out of hand and messages get lost in translation.
Hyper sexualism, antagonism, controversy, hate speech, mockery and trolling have become a part of our lives via social media. Influencers are willing to break an arm and a leg for the sake of relevancy. Just think about the viral video of the young school pupil from Limpopo, Mbilwi secondary school who committed suicide after she was bullied and violated by another pupil on camera. Not only was she abused and violated, it happened in front of the world to see and her perpetrator was cheered by other pupils. What about the recent passing of South African legendary actor Patrick Shai who committed suicide after a social media escapade. The culture of trolling and the hyper sexualization of women is appealing to the masses.

A few weeks ago, a South African young lady posted a picture of her private parts on Twitter and the picture went viral. Unmistakably, her strategy worked, she gained more followers. OnlyFans has become an online brothel of some sort, with users selling nudes and adult explicit content. "OnlyFans is a social media content sharing platform with statistics showing that there are more than 170 million registered subscribers and over 1.5 million content creators around the world. Let's take a look at some OnlyFans statistics that might surprise you" (Jason Wise, EarthWeb, February 15, 2022).
Often too many times what trends is vile content and sad enough it has become a normality.
I have a love and hate relationship with social media, I acknowledge how it has created a platform for content creators, businesses, marketers and people to connect with the world. Take for example how it has accelerated the growth of Amapiano as a new genre and thus setting it to the world in a short space. Or how entrepreneurs market their businesses and people get jobs via social media. A couple of celebrities also do buy school uniforms and groceries for the needy and giveaway bursaries and or education aid via social media. I love the positive and empowering aspect of social media, what I have a qualm with its negativity.

The Inside Track with Subaru Team BMR: Q&A with Team BMR Chief Designer Carl Faux
By Team BMR / MJP Media | 22 March 2016
One of the BTCC's top engineering talents, Carl Faux, has been hard at work preparing our all-new Subaru Levorg machines that we are bringing to the series for 2016 and we spoke to him ahead of today's Season Launch.
Presenting the team at the Season Launch
Success in the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship is never won by the driver alone. With 30 gruelling contests over the course of the season, a strong team that can keep pace with the fierce development race is essential to be in with a shot at the title come the Brands Hatch finale in October. In this article we go behind the scenes with Chief Designer Carl Faux for a Q&A session.
Is it exciting to be working with Subaru as a new manufacturer coming into the BTCC?
"Subaru have a long established motorsport heritage and to continue the brand's participation at the top level by introducing them to the BTCC is a very exciting project. For them to have the confidence in BMR to do this is not to be underestimated and to be honest from my point of view it's an honour to be leading not only Team BMR's first car build but to be able to do this with Subaru's new Levorg model."
The all-new 2016 Subaru Levorg GT
Are you looking forward to defending the current Teams' Championship title?
"We are very much looking forward to defending this title with an all new challenger, even though we are realistic about the challenges of delivering success in arguably the most competitive championship in the world. It is with immense determination to return not only the Teams' battle but also the only championship BMR has not been eligible for previously, the Manufacturers'."
What will be the most distinctive feature of the car?
"The sound! With the boxer engine, something that has never before been used in the BTCC, we have some major obstacles to overcome. Yes, the layout has been used successfully in the past however that was in a different generation and the 2.0l FA20 is very new and completely different architecture to what has gone before."
Posing for the media at the Season Launch
What is going to be the biggest challenge with the Subaru project?
"Engineering challenges is what the project presents. A new engine, car and all the new generation of TOCA components requires a methodical approach, but we are making good progress despite getting the green light very late. Establishing a three-year programme means we can focus on getting the basics right early before developing the package further over the following years. Trust me when I say the whole team at Subaru, BMR and Mountune are burning the midnight oil at the moment to ensure we achieve our objectives."
What are you looking forward to the most in 2016?
"The BTCC is in good shape at the moment, the grid is looking very likely to be full and manufacturers are excited to be involved. The viewing figures speak for themselves and that is down to the competitive, technically challenging, entertaining production that the whole championship delivers. We are really looking forward to Brands Hatch for the season opener and of course the final round because that's where the trophies are handed out. Until then..."

Key M1 Mac Engineer Departs Apple for Intel
Thursday January 6, 2022 2:31 pm PST by Juli Clover
Apple's former Director of Mac System Architecture Jeff Wilcox this week announced that he has left Apple to take on a new role at Intel. As noted on LinkedIn (via Tom's Hardware), Wilcox was part of Apple's M1 team and he had a key role in the transition from Intel chips to Apple silicon.
Wilcox's profile says that he "led the transition" for all Macs to Apple silicon, and prior to that, he developed the SoC and system architecture for the T2 coprocessor used in Intel Macs.
Director of the Mac System Architecture team that included all system architecture, signal integrity and power integrity for Mac systems. Led the transition for all Macs to Apple Silicon beginning with M1 chip, and developed the SoC and system architecture behind the T2 coprocessor before that.
When Wilcox announced his departure from Apple in December, he said that he was pursuing a new opportunity and that he was proud of what he had accomplished at Apple.
After an amazing eight years I have decided to leave Apple and pursue another opportunity. It has been an incredible ride and I could not be prouder of all we accomplished during my time there, culminating in the Apple Silicon transition with the M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max SOCs and systems. I will dearly miss all of my Apple colleagues and friends, but I am looking forward to the next journey which will start at the first of the year.
Wilcox spent eight years working at Apple, and as of this week, he is the Design Engineering Group CTO at Intel. Wilcox says that he will be responsible for the architecture of all SoCs for all Intel client segments. Prior to working for Apple, Wilcox was at Intel where he served as a principal engineer on PC chipsets, and prior to that, he worked at Magnum Semiconductor and Nvidia.
The Apple silicon team is led by Johny Srouji, Apple's vice president of hardware technologies, and it's not clear if Wilcox's departure will have much impact on the development of Apple silicon chips going forward. Apple is well into its Apple silicon transition and is expected to complete it in 2022 with the launch of new Mac Pro and iMac Pro machines that use Apple silicon chips.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger in October said that he hopes to win back Apple's business in the future by creating "a better chip" than Apple can make. He also said that he is planning to ensure that Intel's products are "better than theirs," and that Intel has a more open and "vibrant" ecosystem. "I'm going to fight hard to win Tim's business in this area," he said.
Intel earlier this week introduced a new Core i9 processor designed for laptops, and the company has claimed that it is faster than Apple's M1 Max chip used in the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

I am fine with this. I am happy Apple is making their own chip, but I also want to see Intel succeed. I own shares in both.
Karma*Police
Anyone who's ever worked a corporate job knows this will have zero impact at Apple. Depending on how good he really is, he might have an impact at Intel considering his new title. The irony is, he was already at Intel but nobody recognized his skills so he moved on while Intel has cratered. So typical of corporate… overlook true talent for a** kissers.
hasanahmad
Folks who jump like this are not looking to cherish their legacy which is a major shift in industry , they are just looking at money and knowing Intel , this guy will find out that he cannot change intel's work culture
There goes good hope for M2. Hopefully he did not join Intel.
Did you read the article? He did join intel.
I also find it amusing how every time someone leaves it's "the person responsible for apple silicon." So many people who did all the work themselves, apparently!

Calvinists once dominated Baptist church life in America. In a 1793 survey, early Baptist historian John Asplund estimated that there were 1,032 Baptist churches in America. Out of those, 956 were Calvinist congregations.
A ministry of teaching and encouragement promoting both doctrine and devotion expressed in the Doctrines of Grace and their experiential application to the local church, particularly in the areas of worship and witness. Founders Ministries takes as its theological framework the first recognized confession of faith that Southern Baptists produced, The Abstract of Principles. We desire to encourage the return to and promulgation of the biblical gospel that our Southern Baptist forefathers held dear.
At some time in your Christian life, you may have struggled with questions like, When a sinner is saved, who chooses whom—does God choose the sinner, or the sinner choose God? Did Christ die for the sins of everyone, or just the people He saves?
In The Doctrines of Grace, John MacArthur takes you to God's Word and walks you through challenging truth that's often neglected, maligned, or mischaracterized, but critical for every Christian to understand. This series will help you come to grips with what you believe about God, the gospel, and the nature of man.

June 8, 2012 — An emerging rift among senior members of TPLF Central Committee has prompted Prime Minister Meles Zeanwi to hold an emergency meeting in Addis Ababa to defuse escalating tensions, according to a source with ties to the government.
Frustrated by the border dispute with neighboring Eritrea and the devastating economic down turn it has caused on their home region of Tigray, TPLF bigwigs questioned the premier if this strategy is in the long-term interest of the Tigrayan people.
Moreover, an adviser for the president of the Tigray Regional State, Mr. Roman Gebreselassie, voiced his concern with the rising popularity of a little-known rebel group called the Tigray Peoples Democratic Movement. He criticized Zenawi for failing to create jobs in his region and suggested his perceived indifference for the welfare of Tigrayans has given this rebel movement favorable conditions to recruit Tigrayan youths.
Recognizing mounting corruption as a major problem within the country, Dr. Tedros Adhanom, Minister of Health of Ethiopia and Abay Woldu, President of Tigray Regional State, noted corruption has become a normal activity among senior EPRDF members and suggested serious measures need to be taken swiftly before it becomes a national security threat.
During the conclusion of the emergency meeting, Zenawi acknowledged most of his compatriots' grievances were legitimate and agreed a larger allocation of funds should be provided to Tigray in the upcoming fiscal year. However, the premier blamed Tigray's economic hardships on regional leaders failures, rather than blaming his increasingly unpopular "no war, no peace" strategy with neighboring Eritrea that has scared away potential investors and hampered the local economy.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation / BHQ / Bridging the Gap Between Technology and Policy
Bridging the Gap Between Technology and Policy
Chavern Cover.jpg
This article was published in Business Horizon Quarterly, Issue #12.
It is available in PDF format here.
By David Chavern, Executive Vice President, U.S. Chamber of Commerce; President, Center for Advanced Technology & Innovation
Today, the technology sector and policymakers are talking right past each other, which presents serious dangers both to the tech world and to our economy as a whole. Both groups are of central importance to our collective ability to address the major fiscal and competitiveness challenges facing the country. We simply can't afford to have technologists and policymakers ignore or misunderstand each other. The stakes are too high.
The technology sector can't just assume that legal and regulatory problems will sort themselves out or that society will always make room for a cool new product. Politicians can't afford to stay ignorant of new technologies and remain behind the curve while society continues to undergo rapid and constant changes thanks to new and innovative products and services. Artificial intelligence, programmable biology, the Internet of Things—the full impact of these and other technologies all bring vast public policy implications. If we ignore them, or fail to truly understand them, we do so at our own peril. In fact, we end up inviting backward regulations put in place by political, regulatory, or legal authorities who often don't know quite what they're dealing with. The effect of those regulations can be disruptive, misguided, and in some cases, downright dangerous.
Chavern PQ1.jpg
For the future of a vibrant tech sector and the long-term competitiveness of our economy, there needs to be a bridge between the engineers and the politicians—to promote better understanding and drive good policy outcomes that foster technology development, rather than impede it.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce started the Center for Advanced Innovation and Technology to tell the story of technology in our economy, to help evolve the mindset of policymakers, and to lead rational policy solutions that will drive the U.S. economy for years to come. The Chamber is well placed to be a part of the solution in five primary ways:
1. Business is the answer, not the problem. The Chamber helps our nation's leaders understand how business drives productivity, growth, and hiring. When public policy holds back the private sector, it also holds back our economy and stifles opportunity and prosperity for individuals. That's especially true for technology. It represents one of the largest and fastest growing sectors, and there's no sector of our economy that it doesn't touch. In fact, technology today makes up the platform on which our entire economy rests. Technology provides the capacity to drive the solutions to many of our challenges big and small. We must not allow misinformation, misunderstanding, or fear limit that potential. We must tell that story in the public debate without hesitation or apology—and in terms our leaders will understand and appreciate.
2. The Chamber helps bring focus and clarity to business and economic issues that lawmakers don't understand or would prefer to ignore. One of the biggest complaints I hear from tech leaders is that policymakers are willfully ignorant of technology. Worse still are the instances in which politicians wade into the tech space without truly grasping it. The Chamber is not afraid to force the issue when it's being ignored. We won't hesitate to call out and correct our leaders when they're wrong on policy, and we educate and advocate for the kinds of policies that will allow technology to flourish and fulfill its potential in a competitive economy.
3. We have an unparalleled ability to convene all the players, find common interests between seemingly disparate stakeholders, and bring them together to work toward shared goals. A great example is the leading role the Chamber has played in building a broad coalition to support immigration reform. The Chamber helps rally business, labor, religious and ethnic groups, law enforcement, and technology around pragmatic reforms that will ultimately serve everyone's interests.
4. The Chamber has unmatched resources and capabilities to get things done. We have the muscle of some 3 million businesses behind us, and we work with 116 American Chambers of Commerce in 103 countries, operate 11 business councils, and run a dozen initiatives to help American companies do business around the world. We also boast some of the country's foremost domestic and foreign policy experts, lawyers, lobbyists, and communicators on our staff.
5. For more than 100 years, the Chamber has been enabling growth and advancement in the private sector. Through our work to promote policies that nurture innovation, and by advocating for the free market to foster and deploy new technologies, we've proudly played a role in the successive advancements that have brought us to where we are now.
The Technology Agenda
We are in an era in which the next wave of the digital revolution and the spirit of entrepreneurism are propelling our nation forward at a breathtaking pace—along with much of the rest of the world. This is only the beginning of what could be the most transformative period of technological progress in history. The Chamber supports policies that will allow all American businesses to compete and succeed in a dynamic global economy, and we are helping pioneer and promote the policies needed to keep up with the unique challenges and opportunities that technology brings.
America is in a global race for talent, and with our current, broken immigration system, we're not in a position to come out ahead. Our system doesn't serve the interests of our society, our economy, or the interests of businesses—especially those in the tech sector who need a steady pipeline of talent. Anyone who has attempted to secure a visa for a high-skilled worker knows what a maddening process it can be. This spring, more than 172,000 HB1 visa applications were filed for the 85,000 slots allotted by Congress—and they were ultimately determined by lottery. The numbers of high-skilled visas should be determined by the needs of the market, not by arbitrary caps. Reform will help us attract and retain global entrepreneurial talent. The Chamber has supported efforts on Capitol Hill to provide green cards to immigrant entrepreneurs, and we also support reforms to secure our borders, expand visa programs for all skill levels, establish a workable and reliable national employee verification system, and provide a pathway out of the shadows for the 11 million undocumented workers in America today.
If we want to build a competitive 21st century workforce equipped with the skills for the jobs of the future, we must take a hard look at what is and isn't working in our system. While the United States is home to many of the world's greatest institutions of higher learning, our public K-12 education system is failing badly. Broadly speaking, the system isn't producing students who are proficient in science, math, and reading. Without that foundation, it's difficult to build strong skills in technology and engineering, as well as the problem solving and critical thinking skills necessary for innovation. To help close the skills gap, the Chamber is aggressively promoting high educational standards in America's schools and effective workforce training systems. We're also exploring new ways the business community can help proactively build talent pipelines.
We need a competitive tax system that creates a level playing field for American businesses. Yet, our current tangled tax code is anything but competitive, and high marginal tax rates put U.S. businesses at a disadvantage in the global economy. We continue to advocate for pro-growth, comprehensive tax reform that will lower both corporate and individual rates, broaden the tax base, and simplify compliance. We are also fighting for provisions that will keep innovation humming, including a permanent extension of the R&D tax credit. We know that a smarter, simpler, streamlined tax system can help unleash the power of American businesses to expand and hire, invest and innovate, and compete in a global economy.
Another imperative for U.S. competitiveness is global commerce. Expanding trade and investment has helped foster the high-tech boom and created more than 25 million jobs for Americans over the past 15 years, and the Chamber is playing a leading role in the passage of all major trade deals. Currently, we are focused on completion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which would grant U.S. businesses access to some of the most vibrant markets in the world. We are also aggressively advocating for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), which would expand the commercial relationship between the United States and Europe. And we continue to press hard for the passage of a Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) bill, which would grant the president the authority to negotiate trade deals. Without TPA, potential trading partners will be hesitant to pursue agreements with the United States for fear of having to negotiate them twice—once with the administration and then again with Congress.
Global Regulatory Cooperation
While we pursue opportunities for stronger trade ties, we're also working toward greater global regulatory cooperation on everything from intellectual property to investment. Cross-border data flows have emerged as one of the major regulatory challenges. In today's global economy, consumers, regulators, and businesses all benefit from a constant stream of data flowing seamlessly between countries. The Chamber's Center for Global Regulatory Cooperation, in coordination with our regional teams, is leading the business community's efforts to push back against misguided policies that could potentially cut off data flows or impose localization requirements.
Data Security, Cybersecurity, and Privacy
On the policy challenge of keeping both data and cyber-infrastructure secure while protecting the privacy of individuals, the Chamber believes that industry self-regulation and technology-neutral best business practices are the most effective way to enhance innovation, investment, competition, and privacy. In our free market system, companies that fail to meet consumers' privacy and security expectations can expect to face swift and decisive marketplace and reputational consequences. The Chamber also supports cybersecurity information-sharing legislation that includes robust safeguards for businesses that voluntarily exchange data with their peers and government partners. Targeted information sharing and mitigation efforts, coupled with the right liability protections, are the best ways to strengthen cyber protections for companies. These tools can coexist with important protections for individuals' privacy.
Beyond issues of regulation and privacy, data will increasingly be a part of the policy debate. All sectors of the U.S. economy—including financial services, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, agriculture and many more—collect and use data to spur sales and job growth, enhance productivity, enable cost savings, improve efficiency, protect consumers, and improve lives in the United States and around the world. Data-driven innovation must be fostered and encouraged. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Data-Driven Innovation Project is exploring and promoting the economic and social value of data. It's important that we study the implications and get the policies right.
Technology is a platform for a vibrant and growing economy and a pathway to a bright and prosperous future. Technology companies need to be allowed to be technology companies. They need to have the freedom and the flexibility to innovate and create, free from the burden of overregulation and unencumbered by misguided rules. Everything the Chamber does is designed to drive home the point to politicians, policymakers, and the public that business is the solution, not the problem, and that technology is an asset, not a threat.

During the week of Monday October 22,2018, through Friday October 26, 2018, Southfield High School A&T will be raising money for breast cancer research, as well as showing our support by saying that we are here to help this fight. Students were encouraged to donate any small or large amount toward research, as well as various competitions and fundraisers throughout the week.
Students were able to place their name and small quotes on inspirational decorations placed throughout the building. This was all culminated on Friday, when students were allowed to walk two laps or more on the track during the "Pink Out".
During the event, students were encouraged to wear pink and support our marvelous band during a breathtaking, tear jerking performance during first and second lunches. As the band created a breast cancer ribbon in the center of the field, seniors were allowed to join them by standing in the center of the ribbon.
Southfield High School A&T always strives for greatness, and this event highlighted the empathy and compassion which every student feels for those with cancer and the never ending fight for a cure.
You never know who may be diagnosed, and we wish all of our breast cancer patients, family of patients, and survivors the best of luck.
We are with you, your struggle will not go unnoticed!!
