A fool who knows he is a fool is truly wise. A fool who thinks he is wise is truly a fool.
—Buddhist proverb
Philosophy is the love of wisdom (the philo of sophia). However, wisdom is not something that people necessarily have or live by. Our perspective of philosophy in this chapter is predominantly concerned with metaphysics—or, more precisely, the experience of being that preoccupied much of the ancient Greek philosophers' thoughts, what Aristotle described as "first philosophy" or the study of "being qua being." Metaphysically, the appropriate question to ask is not so much "what is wisdom?" as it is "what does ...

What is happiness? For everyone it's something different but for everyone it's that feeling inside that makes you buzz and want to reach for the stars! What is it? a new love, a new car, job, new clothes, a musical instrument, the list is endless. Most of the time people base their happiness on something external, this means that whatever is external has the power to make you happy but also the power to make you unhappy because you depend on it.
If you relay on something external for your happiness you could be in for disappointment, you will soon tire of the new car, or the new pair of shoes that you just had to have together with the matching handbag or briefcase, and will yet again start searching for something else.
Many people try to fill a void they feel inside, they try to fill it up with the wrong things so they can start feeling happy again and so it goes on, the constant search for happiness.But the happiness that you seek is inside yourself, you can create happiness inside, looking for happiness outside is not the answer.
Let's start with your thoughts, what kind of thoughts have you been having? Are they happy thoughts? happy thoughts are the first steps to happiness, for example how do you perceive your life? Are you happy in your job? With your partner? With your house? most people complain a lot of the time even when they are leading happy abundant lives.
Think for a moment, how do you talk to yourself? Often we sabotage ourselves by our inner conversations, remember that negative words generate anxiety and fear. With daily practice you can change that, you must remember to be aware of what you are saying while you are speaking so that you can stop yourself and choose more appropriate and inspiring words along the way. By applying mindfulness on a daily basis your thoughts will start to improve and things around you will automatically start to change. Even by changing the smallest things a shift happens and day after day you will be able to see the difference .
Ask yourself this question, "do I want what I am thinking about?" if the answer is no then STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.
Complaining and moaning about lack is not the path to happiness, have you ever thought about how rich you truly are? stop for a moment and count your riches, yes you know what I mean, this is not about bank accounts, make a list of all the things that make you happy! Think carefully, write things that have a profound meaning for you even the smallest things count .
Stop and count your riches!
And above all remember to be happy, even acting happy when you are not will trigger positive thoughts, Try it!

Dead Europe
A search for family secrets in the dark heart of Europe is undermined by incoherence
by Kieron TylerThursday, 13 December 2012
Ewen Leslie as Isaac in 'Dead Europe': aloof
"Why do you want to go to Greece?" After watching the numbing Dead Europe and the journey of its protagonist Isaac the question asked might, more pertinently, have been "do you know the Greece you're going to visit?" This relentlessly dark film paints Greece – in common with the other countries seen – as a place of barely hidden agonies, characterised by shadows. No wonder Isaac's mother gives him a talisman to ward off the evil eye before he sets off from Australia.
Isaac (Ewen Leslie) is a photographer of Greek heritage, born in Australia. His father commits suicide by crashing his car so, with an exhibition of his pictures openings in Athens, Isaac decides to take his ashes back to Greece. With his mother full of foreboding, he lands in a city of people on the margins, with graffiti, rubbish-strewn streets and baleful, watchful eyes. Rather than being a result of the recession, this Greece seems contrived to counter picture-postcard ideas of the country – later, both Paris and Budapest are cast in the same light.
Out with his camera, Isaac encounters a boy being attacked (Let Me In's Kodi Smit-McFee, pictured right). Accompanying him to a run-down apartment triggers the decline into the pits of this fragmented Europe. Returning to the wraith-like Josef's apartment to take more pictures, Isaac finds it empty and is told no one has lived there. Soon, he's travelling to his father's village, then Paris and Budapest, where he finds his drug addict brother under the thumb of a porn baron who is also a people trafficker.
Dead Europe is director Tony Krawitz's adaptation of Christos Tsiolkas's novel. Krawitz's pervious film, Jewboy, was also about a search for identity following the death of a father. In that case, the main character returned to Australia from abroad – he was studying to be a rabbi in Israel. Just as it was with Jewboy's Yuri (also portayed by Ewen Leslie) the descent into the undergrowth and degradation is swift. Jewboy was a dry run for Dead Europe.
A three-way sex scene adds nothing
Although nominally a film about unearthing hidden family history, it operates on multiple levels which don't cohere. Josef might be a ghost or the embodiment of a horrific memory. Equally, Isaac's disturbing encounters with the villagers who knew his father also draw from horror, as does the pervasive sense of dread. In Paris, Isaac is asked to spirit a Muslim woman out of France. He's repelled by her anti Semitism. The discoveries about his father's past relate to see-sawing attitudes towards Jews. Early in the film, his mother tells him "only Jews and Muslims go to hell". Isaac himself is gay. Dead Europe could be both a horror film and a polemic on racism, religious hatred and their place in this low-level Europe, but the two approaches don't gel. Incendies, similarly about a search and secrets, pulled its strands together more confidently and more coherently.
Stylistically, the sudden cuts and travelling camera of Gaspar Noé are borrowed to introduce tension. A three-way sex scene adds nothing and, as the films heads towards its conclusion, a lengthy explanatory exposition stalls the momentum. Leslie at first seems to have the coiled tension of Paddy Considine but remains aloof, never becoming truly animated or engaged.
Though Dead Europe creates an atmosphere, the overall detachment makes it more a film to be experienced rather than one to be absorbed by.

2Cellos promise a 'crazy rock show' when they come to Audley End this summer
The Croatian duo are looking ahead to their Heritage Live performance in July
Martin Neal
2Cellos are coming to Audley End this summer
Two blokes on stage playing cellos – it'll be a boring classical show, won't it?
Wrong, says Stjepan Hauser, one half of 2Cellos, who headline a huge outdoor concert at Audley this summer – it's going to be "a crazy rock show".
Stjepan and Luka Sulic might be relatively unknown over here, but the Croatian duo have forged a glowing reputation over the past five years, playing all over the world and releasing four albums.
Their dynamic reputation earned them a slot on the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert alongside Elton John among others in 2012 and last year's world tour culminated in a sold-out show at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Hertfordshire Festival of Music 2018 – who's performing, when is it, and how to get tickets
Although their latest album, Score, features their own take on well-known film and TV soundtracks, 2Cellos are best known for giving a unique slant on songs you'd be more likely to hear at a rock gig.
As anyone who attends their Heritage Live Concert at Audley End House and Gardens in Saffron Walden on Sunday, July 15, will find out, tracks made famous by AC/DC, Guns n Roses, Muse, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana and Coldplay all feature in their repertoire.
"We like all sorts of music, and we wanted to extend our range," explained Stjepan, 31, from Pula.
"We spent all our lives playing classical music and then suddenly we decided to extend what we do.
"The show is going to be really wild – properly wild. We will start with tracks from our latest album, which is film and TV soundtracks, so it's all nice and romantic - and then it will turn into a crazy rock show.
"Everyone is blown away when we play. People think that two cellos will be boring, classical music, but we can really rock out.
"We play music from throughout our career, so during some of the slower tracks, everyone can have a rest because we'll all need it after all that headbanging."
Slam Dunk just announced 11 more bands for this year's festival in Hatfield
2Cellos will be joined on stage by a drummer and a full cast of other orchestral musicians, while support comes from pianist Tokio Myers, who shot to fame after winning Britain's Got Talent last year.
The night will culminate in a firework display - a great tradition at Audley End concerts over the years.
Audley End also stages Here and Now – Back to the 80s, featuring Jason Donovan, Hot Chocolate, Midge Ure, T'Pau and a number of other acts as part of the Heritage Live weekend on Friday, July 13.

Ai Wei Wei's New Project Has Stumbled Upon Resistance In NYC
Ai Wei Wei's new project, called "Good Fences Make Good Neighbours", was commissioned by the Public Art Fund in New York and consists of 300 pieces responding to the concepts of borders and immigration. One of the installations set to be revealed in the archway of Washington Square park, however, has sparked some outcry from the Washington Square Association. The group is challenging the installation based on the idea that it would disrupt annual Christmas celebrations, and would compromise the archway's own art, hindering it with politicised art.. They also claim to only have been informed of the intended installation a few weeks ago The association's president wrote to the Public Art Fund: "This installation sets a dangerous precedent that one of New York City's most recognised monuments and pieces of art can be decorated and co-opted for four months at a time. It's ironic that the installation is called Good Neighbours." In turn, the president of the Public Art Fund, Susan Freedman, noted: "the vital qualities of community and open engagement that Washington Square Park embodies are among the characteristics that make it an ideal location for this important exhibition that brings to light a powerful statement about division and separation at a global, national, local, and personal level." On his idea behind the project, Ai Wei Wei had previously noted: "We are witnessing a rise in nationalism, an increase in the closure of borders, and an exclusionary attitude toward migrants and refugees, the victims of war and the casualties of globalisation."


The Vial of Life Program is a way to have important lifesaving information available for Emergency Medical Responders in the event that you are injured or ill at your home. When you face a medical emergency you may be scared, anxious, in pain, confused or unable to speak for yourself. It is during those times that your VIAL OF LIFE Form will speak for you, providing first responders with the information they need to give you the most appropriate emergency care.
The New Bern Woman's Club, in partnership with Craven County Emergency Services and the New Bern Police Department, are working together to share this important life-saving program with our community and local EMS Providers.
Make copies of the Vial of Life Form, fill it out and keep it updated.
Put form and other pertinent information (photo, DNR, etc.) in a baggie.
Attach the baggie with a magnet to the front of your refrigerator with a Vial of Life Decal showing.
Place another Vial of Life Decal on your front door or window where it can be seen by Emergency Responders.
While this program is useful for all family members, it is especially helpful for senior citizens, those living alone, or those who are chronically ill. We hope that you will help us spread the word about the Vial of Life Program and help our first responders and medical centers save more lives.
Please go to the New Bern Woman's Club website (www.newbernwomansclub.com) where you can download the form and decal to print yourself. Forms and decals may be purchased in bulk for large organizations. Prices and additional information are also available on the website.

We'd also like to thank the following for their donations: Walgreens, Realo Drugs and Alphagraphics.


Today is Sweden National Day. I haven't been to Sweden and I do regret not visiting while we lived in Europe. So it's high on my list of places I want to still visit.
I have no idea how authentic Swedish Meatballs are – I know that IKEA has popularised them, but I'm not sure if they are an IKEA invention or indeed one of Sweden's national dishes.
Anyway they are very tasty, and I still live in hope that one day IKEA will open in New Zealand!
Ligon berry, cranberry, blackberry or blackcurrent jam to serve.
Set aside a few of the herbs, then add the rest into a large bowl with the pork, beef, egg, milk, breadcrumbs and allspice. Add pinch of salt and pepper, then scrunch and mix well with clean hands.
Roll mixture into 30 little balls. Keep wetting your hands to get them nice and round. Put on a large oiled tray and put in fridge for one hour to firm up.
Cook the meatballs in olive oil and fry gently for 10 – 15 minutes, tossing occasionally until they are golden brown.
Transfer the meatballs to a large plate, spoon away any excess fat from the pan, then add lemon juice, stock, flour, cream, heaped tablespoon of jam, pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then turn heat down and reduce until you have a nice consistency that will cling to the meatballs. Return meatballs to the pan and move them around so they get coated in the sauce.
Serve the meatballs drizzled with any leftover sauce from the pan and a few spoonfuls of warmed-up jam on top.

Actor Alia Bhatt has opened up about her equation with ex-boyfriend Sidharth Malhotra. While Sid recently said on an episode of Koffee With Karan that they have not met since breaking up last year, Alia said in a recent interview to DNA that they have met.
"Yes, I have watched the episode. Sid and I did meet actually. They had shot the episode much before we met so he must have said that. But we have obviously met recently and it was extremely normal," she said. Alia and Sid were part of the Bollywood delegation that flew to Delhi from Mumbai to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in January. Her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor was also a part of the contingent.
Alia said that there are no bad vibes between her and Sid. "I have a lot of love and respect for Sid. We started off together in the industry. I have known him for a long time and there's too much history between us. Honestly, there will never be issues. I have nothing but just positivity in my heart for him. I'm sure he wishes the same as well. We have witnessed several milestones of our lives together. He spoke about meeting and chatting and we were fine. There are no bad vibes," she said. The two made their Bollywood debuts together with Karan Johar's Student of the Year. They also worked in Kapoor & Sons.
Speaking on Koffee With Karan, Sidharth had said that their relationship after break-up is not bitter. "There is a reason why two people decide not to be together. There were lots of ups and downs. When you take yourself from a situation, you look at all the happy and good memories," he had said.
Sidharth is now rumoured to be dating Kiara Advani. He denied the rumours on the chat show. Meanwhile, Alia celebrated her first Valentine's Day with Ranbir Kapoor on Thursday. The two enjoyed a dinner date and their pictures were also shared online. Ranbir also came to support Alia at the screening of her latest film Gully Boy, which released on Thursday, report Hindustan Times.


The first thing to learn when redesigning your website is that not all web browsers are created equal. Your website is not going to look and function exactly the same on all browsers, but the one that seems to cause the most issues is Internet Explorer.
If you look at almost any company's website analytics, the most common browsers used in the U.S. are Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. These web browsers look at the code of a website, interpret the information and then present it to us so we can view a website. But not all of these browsers are created equal.
Each web browser interpret website code in different ways and each browser has different versions that have different capabilities. Everyone has landed on a website where an image looked weird or the text didn't line up correctly. It is possible that this was a problem with the browser and not the actual website.
While Chrome, Firefox and Safari have their differences, for the most part they have the same capabilities. Internet Explorer (IE) is the odd one out and usually causes the most issues for website design because of its lack of capabilities, especially in older versions like IE 7 and IE 8. For example, IE 8 does not support rounded corners or text shadows.
To make matters more complicated, browsers are continually updating and improving, so there are a lot of different versions of each browser. While IE 11 is the latest version of Internet Explorer, many people and businesses still run IE 7, 8, 9 and 10. This presents problems for web designers because each version supports different elements and the code has to be fixed to be sure the website functions on each version.
We highly recommend looking at website analytics of the client's current website to know which browsers are used by the majority of their visitors. This helps web designers know which browsers to prioritize. If only 1% of visitors use IE, then it may not need as much attention than if it were 30-40%, or even 75% of visitors.
With the Internet constantly changing and browsers always being updated, it's very possible that your website can look and function fine one day and then break the next day. So it important to test on every browser and device to be sure your website renders well on all browsers before launch.
Because of the limitations with older versions of IE, website designers have to adjust to be sure it will be compatible with the browser. The biggest issue we deal with when working with older version of IE (IE8 and earlier) is that there is a lack of support for CSS media queries like text shadows that we mentioned earlier.
The important takeaway is to make sure that all of the content on the website can be easily read and digested for IE users. It's ok if not all of the fancy functionality works. The user experience may not be perfect on older version of IE, but as long as visitors can read the content, then the website will be set up for success.
Because of the potential difference in functionality in IE, it's critical to be candid with the client so they are aware that their redesigned website will not look or function exactly the same on IE 7 or 8 as it will on Chrome or Safari. Many web companies are beginning to phase out support for IE8 and below, so eventually there will be no need to even test on these versions.
Older versions of Internet Explorer will continue to be an issue for web designers, but having the conversation with the client early in the redesign process will help to keep everyone on the same page and set expectations. And as long as your web designer tests extensively before launch, your website should be set up for success.

How should I start contributing to my 401k?
I'm 25 years old and make $35,000.
Great question 25! Over the last several weeks I have helped many 401k participants answer this question.
Three factors go into finding a good answer.
Does your employer have a match?
Does your plan have a ROTH option?
You should at least contribute an amount that will allow you to get all of the employers match. If your unsure you can usually call your human resources person or department.
The standard 401k contribution is a contribution from your paycheck and you get a tax deduction for the contribution. Don't get to excited because you are simply deferring the tax and the tax calculation until you withdraw the money in retirement.
The ROTH contribution is an after tax contribution and you do not get a current deduction for contributing. However, there is not tax on the growth and no tax on the withdraw at retirement.
Which one is better depends on your current tax bracket. If you are in a low tax bracket you may find the ROTH to be a better selection. If you have a higher tax bracket the standard 401k contribution would save you current taxes.
This simple answer can turn a littler complex. Let me know if you need more information. Your company should have a financial advisor who works with the plan and can answer many of the these questions with very accurate details.
Remember, any contribution you make to any retirement plan will have withdraw restrictions and penalties until retirement age which is 59 1/2. Always consult a CPA for tax advice.


What education is required to practice chiropractic?
Chiropractic graduates must have a minimum of six years college education. Coursework includes anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, physical and laboratory diagnostics, radiology, physiology, pathology, nutrition, and public health. In addition, chiropractic education involves a detailed study of clinical sciences as well as clinical experience. Chiropractic medicine focuses on the diagnosis of musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders and treatment through clinically and scientifically established procedures.
Chiropractic care is known (but not exclusively) for its use of the adjustment, sometimes called manipulation. An adjustment is a precise procedure in which the trained Doctor of Chiropractic exerts specific corrective pressure at specific places on the spine or other joint. When a thorough examination reveals joints that are not in proper function, adjustments are applied to correct joint alignment and mobility, relieve associated muscle and nerve tension, improve balance and assist healing. In most cases, adjustments are performed manually or with a handheld instrument.
You may not receive an adjustment at every appointment. The treatment you receive will be designed specifically for you – based on your symptoms and examination findings.
In addition to a Chiropractic adjustment, Dr. White may prescribe the use other modalities, done in the office, such as electric muscle stimulation, ultrasound, moist heat, ice, massage, or others. Dr. White will also take the time to counsel you about the prevention of disease and offer some suggestions for living a healthy chiropractic lifestyle.
Be prepared to discuss: when the problem started, how it started, how long you have had it, what makes the problem worse or better, treatments you have tried so far and how well they worked, and any other information you believe is relevant. You should also bring notes regarding comments or questions you want to ask the Doctor. Also, bring your insurance card and know the amount of your deductible or co-pay.
Medicare no longer requires yearly x-rays, however, Dr. White may deem x-rays a necessary tool to view the problem area. X-rays and exams administered are not covered by Medicare and the charges would be the patient's responsibility. The charges do not apply to the patient's yearly deductible.
Medicare only covers Chiropractic adjustments, it does not cover the cost of any supplies or therapies. Medicare may only allow 12 visits in a 12 month period, before they arbitrarily stop payment until they determine whether or not there is "Medical Necessity" for further care.
Our office will file both Medicare and supplemental insurance claims for our patients. Payment may be asked for at the time of service, and we will submit claims and have Medicare reimburse you. If our office should happen to receive a check by error, we will notify you and give you the option to receive a refund or apply it to a credit on your account for any further charges.


When he arrived in Paris on July 12, 1897, Van Dongen had only a few paintings under his arm and an almost empty suitcase with two meager notebooks and a few stray pencils. The artist survived on a few odd-jobs here and there. Returning to Rotterdam's red light district, Van Dongen would live among the pretty ladies of the night, selling the odd sketch here and there to local papers.
Back in Paris for the second time in 1900, Van Dongen would do some portraiture work for local, illustrated journals. Lady luck would finally smile at him. Fénéon, the famous art critic of the time, published a few of his sketches in the Revue Blanche and showed them to Vollard, the famous art dealer, who decided to exhibit his work. At the time, Van Dongen lived at 23, lace Ravignac – later to be known the world over as the Bateau Lavoir. Sketching for the satirical journal the "Assiette au Beurre" for which he would illustrate entire issues on several occasions, Van Dongen was finally making a living and could devote himself to painting.
He quickly became one of the key figures of the Fauvist movement. This striking character with his full, red beard, dressed in a sailor's white uniform became, with Picasso, one of the big stars of the Bateau Lavoir. His paintings are dominated by an extreme sensitivity. To the artist, the very act of painting was in itself like quenching a carnal desire. Like Vlaminck, Van Dongen created his own style without studying at the School of Fine Arts.
He would move on to high society portraiture work (Brigitte Bardot sat for him in 1954), but remained ever faithful to a somewhat violent chromatic style remaining from his Fauvist years.

Hailey Baldwin: 'I'm not Mrs. Bieber yet'
Hailey Baldwin has shot down reports she and Justin Bieber are already married.
The stars sparked rumours suggesting they were husband and wife after they were spotted visiting the marriage license courthouse in New York City on Thursday (13Sep18), and were overheard talking about a top secret wedding.
Eyewitnesses at the Marriage Bureau at the City Clerk's Office in the Big Apple told TMZ Bieber and his bride-to-be dropped several hints they were already married during their visit, and at one point an emotional Justin broke down in tears.
He was also overheard thanking a court official for keeping his visit low-key, and another eyewitness told the news outlet the couple was making plans to jet out of the country, pointing to a possible last-minute honeymoon.
But now Hailey insists the fuss was all about nothing, taking to Twitter on Friday (14Sep18) to address the rumours about her under the radar wedding day.
"I understand where the speculation is coming from, but I'm not married yet," the model wrote to her fans.
In a recent interview with Australia's Stellar magazine, Hailey admitted she was "beyond excited" about her wedding, but didn't share any details, and now insiders claim she could be Mrs. Bieber within a week.
The 21-year-old model and Justin became engaged during a romantic vacation to the Bahamas this summer and confirmed the exciting news on Instagram two days later. The What Do You Mean? singer proposed just two months after they rekindled their 2015 romance.

Every STRAWBS album between "Witchwood" and "Nomadness" has something unique to offer. A perfect introduction to the sound of The STRAWBS is the compilation-CD "A Choice of Strawbs" (16 tracks). It features all their best material from their most creative and "symphonic" period (between '71 and '74). The music of The STRAWBS frequently ranges from folky (acoustic guitars) and classic (piano and harpsichord) to bombastic, symphonic rock (fiery electric guitar and glorious Mellotron in the vein of BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST and The MOODY BLUES).

Dashing Devotional ~ Walking with Jesus!
God designed each one of us with before the earth was created. He created man to commune with him and have a relationship with him. The problem was created at the fall of man when Adam and Eve sinned against God. Man's perfect nature was now imperfect and they were separated from God. In the Old Testament, we see how the people of that time had to offer sacrifices for their sins in order to protect themselves from God's wrath. But, here's the good news! God sent His Son, Jesus so that we could all be saved. We see in the New Testament our new covenant, which is a promise based on what Jesus came to do for us. Jesus came to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
Instead of animal blood being shed to cover over sins, Jesus shed His blood for our past, present, and future sins. Even though Jesus came to save us all, it is up to us to accept the gift that He gave us. What still separates us from God is not the act of sin, but our sin nature. Romans 10:9 says that when you confess Jesus as Lord AND believe in your heart, you are saved.
When you accept what Jesus has done for you and accept Him to be the Lord of your life, you are no longer separated from Him and now you have a new nature. You are born again! That means that you will spend eternity (life after death) in Heaven with The Lord. The good news is that the benefits of walking with the Lord are not just for eternity; it is also for life here on earth. Jesus didn't just provide salvation or forgiveness of sins, but He also came to have a relationship with you! He has a plan for your life, and He created you for a unique purpose, but that can only be found when you give your life to Him, and follow His leading!
The good news is, He has made it so simple, and it all starts with a prayer! When you pray this prayer (it doesn't have to be these exact words, but any words from your heart, inviting Jesus in to be your savior) and believe it in your heart, you are born again. The Bible says when one person comes into a relationship with Jesus, ALL of Heaven rejoices!


The Toxic Taters Coalition has been gaining strength and fighting toxins in the potato-growing areas of central and north central Minnesota for over a decade. Their focus is on preserving the massive potato crops of these regions from "pesticide drift." Their concerns are the health effects on residents and on domestic and wild animals and the water pollution, the results of the high nitrate levels caused by the pesticides sprayed on potato crops. Their broad focus is on the 45,000 acres of potatoes grown in Minnesota every year. Their immediate focus is on the potato fields owned by Ronald D. Offutt, (RDO), the largest potato grower in the world and one of McDonald's leading potato suppliers.
The data showed that residents and livestock are inhaling a host of chemicals, particularly chlorothalonil, a fungicide widely used on potatoes. The fungicide is touted as protection against late blight, the fungus that is purported to have caused the 1850's potato famine in Ireland. Toxic Taters Coalition members hold that chlorothalonil is but the tip of the pesticide iceberg – they warn of the "chemical cocktail" we are breathing in our air and drinking in our water.
Mary Ida Thomson died a quiet death at an assisted living residence that was her last, but not her real, home. Troubled by dementia she could not be at peace. Friends who visited missed the chance to absorb the wisdom of the quiet force that was Mary Ida.
We are sharing memories now – of Mary Ida who was a prime, if backstage, mover in shaping the Minnesota Association of Library Friends, a vibrant organization that now involves hundreds of bibliophiles in making their local library thrive.
Others remember Mary Ida the staunch and steady supporter of the Girl Scouts of America, long-time member of the Board of the St. Croix Valley Girl Scouts.
Friends recall the countless hours Mary Ida spent counting – with impeccable accuracy – the Sunday collection at her church, a house of faith that forgot her when she was unable to serve and needed their support.
There was Mary Ida who loved to tell stories – stories she shared on Fridays when she was the indispensable "Girl Friday" at Metronet – faithfully covering the front desk in exchange for Friends of the Library using the organization's address and meeting space. She told stories of her early life in Mankato, of her years working at the bank where she somehow got involved with an "assertive training" program during which she met her friend Linda, of her rides in the executive car with her husband who was a RR executive, of the latest reads her friend Jeanne Fischer was recommending, of the foibles of her beloved Mr Pedro, a formidable feline who had to shift gears when Mary Ida moved out of her gracious Roseville home.
No one knows the number or nature of all the boards and support groups on which Mary Ida served – People, Inc., The Friends of the St. Paul Public Library, the board of the St. Croix Valley Girl Scouts (now Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin Rivers), the Minnesota Association of Library Friends, the Charities Review Council, the Minnesota Church Foundation and the Harriet Tubman Center – no doubt there others – the list expands with every email message.
What friends and family know today is that there is a blizzard of emails choking the communications channels as an ever-growing circle of "Friends of Mary Ida" share memories of an extraordinary woman whose gentle hand and wise counsel touched so many lives.
Later there will be a memorial service at First Congregational Church in Southeast Minneapolis, a church where Mary Ida's grandfather once ministered – she had great stories about those early days, too. For now those who knew Mary Ida are welcome to join in what Mary Ida's nephew has dubbed a "virtual memorial service," a joyful digital celebration of a beautiful life well lived by a woman who has enriched this community in untold and unheralded ways.
The OK Cast Shares the Open Systems Message – and Spirit!
To know Alex Fink, even a bit, is to want to share his ideas, his spirit and his work – specifically his amazingly energetic podcast series. The challenge is to do justice to his work! So I'm just going to focus on the podcast – an exemplary application of a format with which I am enamored.
Alex Fink is a PhD student in Youth Studies at the University of Minnesota. His focus is on "methods of making research to document injustice and resistance available to young people to create social change." My first brush with Alex's thoughts was in notes re. social justice he posted on the Code for America/Open Twin Cities listserv.
Next I learned about his newish podcast venture, a one-person operation in which he explores the range of open information/data issues – "the political economy and ecology of data, including data collection, data use, data access/sharing, data economics, and the ideologies surrounding it." In other words, Alex is actually putting a face on open data and open government.
To wit: The OK Cast (as in Open Knowledge) is a bi-weekly podcast, of which Alex serves as both host and editor. The growing list of podcast topics now includes sessions on global integrity, participatory politics, visualizing information, the possibilities and practice of open planning – and more.
Make no small plans, is a motto that befits the work of Alex Fink. My hope is that those who care about open government, broadly defined, will check out the visually stimulating blog and the aurally enlightening podcasts that this one visionary is harnessing basic technology to share and to inspire others.

What's missing from your impact measurement?
Are you failing to provide funders with the crucial evidence that will place your application firmly on the 'yes' pile?
Is a lack of evidence of impact holding your fundraising back?
I speak to a lot of people who are frustrated that their applications for funding are too frequently rejected because they are unable to provide sufficient evidence of the difference that the project is making (or intends to make).
Many fundraisers can tell a good story and roll out a few testimonials from grateful beneficiaries about what a "lifeline" their service is (oh my gosh, funders must be so bored of the word "lifeline"!).
But many lack the tangible evidence of what has changed for the broader group of beneficiaries.
Others have a few good stats up their sleeve, but it is presented in such a dry way that the numbers become instantly forgettable.
A recent evidence review* by Third Sector Research Centre concluded that:
"Much of the data that is generated by charities is deemed to be largely irrelevant to donors.
What's missing?
According to the research, the two barriers experienced by major donors and funders are:
Difficulty in accessing relevant and high-quality data
Lack of understanding of that information.
Successful fundraisers are able to create an emotional response and back it up with logical reasons for why the funder should invest in their project or service.
They then present the words and data in an accessible and inspiring way. See an example of great data visualisation (even if I do say so myself!) in this infographic of my evaluation of Nightstop UK, which I recently discovered was featured on the Better Evaluation website.
Many funders may draw on scoring matrixes but the decisions are ultimately made by human beings. And people make decisions based on emotion, backed up by logic.
The logical information that most charities are still failing to provide is, will it make a difference?
The difference is typically measured through outcomes and impact data (see here for the six types of data to capture).
Make it memorable and fundable!
If your organisation is relying on stories with no data about the difference you make, you may inspire people with an affinity to your cause to donate, but you are unlikely to provide a logical basis that successfully persuades funders and donors to award a large grant or gift.
Similarly, if your applications and reports are full of dry numbers you're unlikely to inspire funders to make a substantial investment. Without visuals, the words and data can completely fall flat.
Successful fundraisers have access to all three:
Robust data + inspiring stories + engaging visuals = memorable and fundable.
I can help you to capture robust data and inspiring stories, and then present this beautifully within an impact report and infographics within the Impact Accelerator for Fundraising.
The programme has been designed especially for fundraisers of small and medium charities to get the evidence needed to put funding applications firmly on the 'yes' pile.

Home Biologist Seal breaks into New Zealand marine biologist's house, scaring family cat
Seal breaks into New Zealand marine biologist's house, scaring family cat
A New Zealand family told Reuters on Sunday they were surprised to find a seal had broken into their home, scaring the family cat and lounging on the sofa.
When Jenn Ross returned home on Wednesday morning, August 17, she initially thought the buckets that had been misplaced in the garage were the work of the family cat, Coco. She hadn't expected the fur seal that was in the hallway instead.
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or through the app.
"I hear this flippity-flop along the hallway and it's like, 'oh, that would be a seal, I can't believe that would have come in that way," she told Reuters.
After waking her children to the news that there was a seal, whom they nicknamed "Oscar", downstairs, she called her husband, Phil Ross, who was at work at the time.
Mr Ross, who works as a marine biologist, said it was ironic he was not at home when the seal showed up.
"I try to make attempts to bring my family to cool places where I work, but on this occasion work came home," he said.
The family believe the seal followed their family cat, Coco, through two cat flaps into the house as she "rushed to safety". Coco was then found taking refuge with their neighbor and is still reluctant to go down to where the seal was.
They said that while it is not uncommon for them to see seals in the area, as they only live a few hundred yards from shore, this was the first time they had heard of a seal entering a house.
The Department of Conservation ranger who captured the seal said he had already had a busy morning with seal-related calls, suspecting it was the result of recent bad weather in the country.

"I'm never happier," Karl Polanyi wrote to his brother Michael, "than when I am exhausted from work, sitting in a train and, with a view of the southern English countryside outside the window, on my way home." This was November 10, 1938, the day after Nazi paramilitaries tore through German cities smashing stores and synagogues, committing the destruction known as Kristallnacht. While racists ripped up the continent, Polanyi had taken refuge on the other side of the English Channel, eking out a living by lecturing to students of the Workers' Educational Association. On the buses and trains of his commute to WEA sites, he puzzled over how his world darkened and sketched one of the century's classics, The Great Transformation: The Political and Economic Origins of Our Times (1944).
Polanyi's legacy—especially seen through that book—has been enjoying something of a comeback since 2008 thanks to the global-bashing distemper of our times. The Great Transformation is a sacred text for those who decry capitalism but shy away from the revolutionary implications of Marxism. Indeed, Polanyi—along with nineteenth-century Romantics and twentieth-century social critics such as E. P. Thompson or James C. Scott—belongs in the pantheon of thinkers that, since the dawn of capitalism, gave a vital, normative counterpoint to the hegemony of political economics, liberal or Marxist. It forged the tradition of moral economics behind a Naomi Klein, or a Bernie Sanders. But today's Polanyi revival is not the first. The Great Transformation was also recovered in the global malaise of the 1970s. Perhaps its destiny is to be rekindled every time capitalism goes into crisis. It was, after all, conceived and written in the midst of the world's worst cataclysm.
Polanyi's moral economics did as much to obscure the nature of global interdependence as it did to reveal the perils of leaving the invisible hand to its own devices.
In an era of walls, visas, Eurofatigue, and slumping global trade, we turn again to moral economics for alternatives. How far can we go with them? Polanyi demanded that markets be "embedded" in wider social fabrics and serve communal purposes. The word "embedding" has since become a touchstone for market critics and sub-disciplines in the social sciences; it is a word with a career trajectory all its own. But what this actually means deserves some examination. Polanyi's moral economics did as much to obscure the nature of global interdependence as it did to reveal the perils of leaving the invisible hand to its own devices.
Polanyi's view of the world began in the epicenters of the Hapsburg Empire. It is one of the paradoxes of Polanyi's life and work that he would decry the effects of nineteenth-century capitalism even as he was the heir of its sibling, cosmopolitan liberalism. Born in Vienna in 1886, he grew up in Budapest, the son of Jewish bourgeois parents who saw Judaism as a relic of shtetl or ghetto ways, a hangover from the East. The promise of the Jewish Enlightenment was this: citizenship in return for assimilation. His grandfather and father accepted the deal. Polanyi's father, Mihály, a successful engineer, made sure that his children grew up in a capacious flat on one of Budapest's toniest streets.
And yet the ties to Jewish circles were never completely untethered. Polanyi went to the Minta Gymnasium with a scholarship from Jewish philanthropists. His grandfather on his mother's side was a rabbinic scholar who had translated the Talmud into Russian. Polanyi was therefore raised just outside the radius of Jewish tradition, a world he knew but could never belong to.
Polanyi's zeal to incriminate liberalism blinded him.
There is a certain parallel here between Jews in the ancient world and liberals in Polanyi's world. One might say that he saw that in Christ's time Jews had cleared the ground for the Christian gospel. Centuries later, liberalism had done likewise. It created the conditions for what Polanyi often called a "new Christian unity." Just as the old Christian unity stood on the shoulders of Judaism, according to Polanyi the new Christian unity was climbing on the shoulders of liberalism. What that emerging unity lacked, however, was an understanding of itself, a narrative to replace what he regarded as a wasteland of market integration and individualism. Christianity gave him an ethical vocabulary that at once lambasted liberalism while adopting its universalism.
Meanwhile anti-Semitism destroyed the hearth of Central European assimilation dreams. It drove Polanyi into exile; it took away parts of his family. As Gareth Dale notes in his illuminating biography, Karl Polanyi: A Life on the Left (2016), the Jewish Question was a seam of unresolved issues. The moral economist hovered between his collapsing old worlds—the Jewish and the liberal—and his struggles to find a source of light for a new world.
Marxism was a potential resort. It appealed to many who considered liberalism responsible for the bloodshed of World War I and, on its heels, the fascist blight. Polanyi would have an ambiguous relationship to Marxism, however. Its collectivism was a draw, but its underlying materialism was not. Polanyi never subscribed to the Second International's orthodoxy. He helped found the Hungarian Radical Party before World War I sent him to the Russian front as a cavalry officer. Wounded, he convalesced in Budapest when Mihály Károlyi launched the First Hungarian People's Republic. For a few furtive months in early 1919, Polanyi was close to power—as close as he would ever get. It ended with Béla Kun's Soviet takeover; the republic turned a crimson shade of red.
The experience was enough to poison for good his view of bankers. He spared choice words for the privileged role of haute finance in the spoils of the nineteenth century and the cynical way in which money men rebuilt the hollowed order after 1919 by spreading suffering among the have-nots. By the 1920s, Polanyi writes, "currency had become the pivot of national politics. Under a modern money economy nobody could fail to experience daily the shrinking or expanding of the financial yardstick; populations become currency-conscious." The cult of stable money concealed a basic truth: it depended on forces outside national boundaries, beyond the reach of community regulators. There are times when one can almost feel Polanyi reaching for clichés about conspiracies of rootless cosmopolitans. Meanwhile, turmoil "shattered also the naïve concept of financial sovereignty in an interdependent economy." The solution was to double down on the gold standard and all but ensure its eventual collapse.
His obsession with liberal failures and his blind spot for reactionary nationalism would only grow with time.
That crash came in 1929, and brought down the frail liberal consensus that filled the void after 1919. Eventually the reactionary tide that swept Hungary and Germany closed in on Austria. In late 1933, Polanyi, a socialist without a party, left for England. It is revealing that Polanyi blamed liberals for the collapse. The fact that Vienna was a cosmopolitan city surrounded by conservative resentment and clerical zeal to clamp down on urbane modernists did not figure into his story. This obsession with liberal failures and his blind spot for reactionary nationalism would only grow with time.
By now some of Polanyi's traits had come clear. First, he would not embrace Marxism, Zionism, nationalism, liberalism, conservativism—all the traditional -isms that defined the ideological wars of the century. Second, as Dale notes perceptively, Polanyi was inclined to think in polar extremes. Only when it came to politics did he veer toward the reforming middle. He would spend his life searching for the near-impossible: a non-liberal middle ground.
Polanyi's ethos finally took shape while in exile in England. There he brushed with Christian and guild socialism, which inherited English romantic notions of craftsman autonomy and artisanal disdain for wage labor and pushed them into schemes of state ownership and guild management of manufacturing. Their chief proponents, R. H. Tawney and G. D. H. Cole, left a deep imprint on The Great Transformation. Both were sworn to a non-materialist code. Along with Harold Laski, they were giants of the interwar British left. Like Polanyi, they were ethical stepchildren of nineteenth-century liberalism, quick to condemn its shortfalls and determined to create a new moral order without the odor of Marxist class conflict. Theirs was a generally optimistic view that saw the breakdowns of the 1930s as growing pains in the march toward communities of unselfish producers sharing their wealth as an alternative to market capitalism. Polanyi, who had met them during an earlier visit, admired their fusion of socialism with Anglo-Saxon liberty, religious tolerance, and "general humanitarian outlook." Tawney and Cole were also believers in adult education and figures behind the WEA, which employed Polanyi as an itinerant lecturer.
The Great Transformation was originally called Origins of the Cataclysm, which then became Anatomy of the 19th Century. These would have been more vivid, and more accurate, titles. But they were bleak, and did not convey his ambition to create an epic about capitalism that would convince readers that the last thing the world needed in 1944 was a restoration of old liberal ways. This had been the mistake of 1919; instead of reforming a liberal civilization, the postwar's architects tried "recasting the regimes that had succumbed on the battlefields" and built Europe's tomb.
Those "regimes" were the products of the first modern globalization, which Polanyi describes in the astonishing opening chapter of The Great Transformation. The rise of the world economy rested on four "institutions": a balance of power between states; the international gold standard; the liberal state; and the self-regulating market, which produced "unheard-of material welfare." This great transformation was responsible for "the hundred years' peace," but it was also a "stark utopia"—stark because of its brutal physical and moral consequences, utopian because it depended on greats acts of will and denial of the reality of social and economic life. The commodification of land, labor, and capital was the result of an organized, wrenching dislocation from collective moorings in "the traditional unity of a Christian society." Societies with markets ceded to market societies, bent to live and die in exchange.
The final drafting of The Great Transformation did not take place in England, though. Needing an income and wanting to focus on his master work, Polanyi received help from the Rockefeller Foundation to decamp to the United States, where he was a visiting scholar at Bennington, in Vermont. Polanyi's wife, Ilona, stayed behind in England. At Bennington Polanyi turned his WEA classes into a series of public lectures, delivered between the fall of France in the summer of 1940 and the end of the Battle of Britain in October. The Polanyis' marital correspondences from this time are frankly discomfiting, for while Ilona writes to Karl about bombings and scarcities, he writes to her about the pleasures of pastoral New England and the open stacks of the Columbia University library.
While Ilona wrote to Karl about bombings and scarcities, he wrote to her about the pleasures of pastoral New England.
What started as an uprooting from communities of reciprocity and redistribution and the victory of individual gain came full circle with welfare systems, both democratic and authoritarian, in the 1930s. The market restoration of the 1920s had failed. Gold collapsed, the old balance of imperial powers fizzled, the self-regulating market produced mass unemployment, and the liberal state got swept away. Now, Polanyi argued, the marketplace was being restored to its rightful place at the service of society. "Undoubtedly," he noted, "our age will be credited with having seen the end of the self-regulating market." Managed currencies, protectionism, and make-work declared the arrival of moral economy.
Polanyi's zeal to incriminate liberalism blinded him. Everything that was bad about the world could be traced to one single source. Lethal, industrial-scale racism? The fault of liberals. Internationalism? A connivance of old plutocrats. The result was a tangled understanding of nationalism, which he saw as a way to restore a sense of fraternal community in the face of the globalist shredder. This was an incongruous resting point for someone without a nation, Jewish, Hungarian, or English. Of Japan's invasion of China in 1937 or Hitler's parade into Austria in 1938? Of the cleansing of minorities from national communities in Central Europe? Polanyi was relatively silent, though he knew full well what the Nazi sweep of Vienna implied for old friends and family.
The Great Transformation is riddled with problems. Fred Block and Margaret Somers, who have done so much to chart the outlines of a Polanyian approach to sociology, have identified one particular tension at the core of the work. On the one hand, Polanyi argues that the liberal age had disembedded the economy from wider social systems. On the other, Polanyi implies that the market always rests on legal, intellectual, and political conditions—that supply and demand never operate freely. Polanyi wants it both ways. Close readers will find themselves chasing the tail of his argument.
There are also big gaps. Above all, while the narrative dwells on the rise of the Satanic Mill to the 1830s, Polanyi never follows the story beyond. Doing so would have exposed some uncomfortable evidence about how the gold standard, free trade, and haute finance yielded a bonanza of Victorian globalization. Polanyi prefers the gory days over the glory days of the liberal order.
Polanyi wanted it both ways. On the one hand, he argued that the liberal age had disembedded the economy from wider social systems. On the other, he implied that supply and demand never operate freely.
One of troubles with The Great Transformation is that Polanyi wanted to sound like a realist. But he had the voice of a moralist. Consider the adjectives he uses to describe liberals and political economists. They inhabit a world of illusions. "To the stupefaction of the vast majority of contemporaries," he notes of economic liberals, "unsuspected forces of charismatic leadership and autarchist isolationism broke forth and fused societies in new forms." Elsewhere Polanyi points at those who extolled the virtues of the Hundred Years' Peace—A. J. Toynbee, Ludwig von Mises, and Norman Angell—singling out their "naïveté," a word that recycles often in the text. "Awareness of the essential nature of the problems of politics sank to an unprecedented low point" on the eve of World War I.
But it would take effort to not notice Polanyi's own naïveté on display in the book. Liberalism, he claims, now forked into two roads: one socialist and one fascist. "The difference between these two is not primarily economic. It is moral and religious." What those differences were was never very clear. Nor was the option posed by the society at his doorstep, the United States. Later readers tend to pay less attention to the murkier final chapters about Polanyi's global present. Perhaps it is just as well. They are a mess.
How Obsolete Is Our Market Mentality?
It was also out of step with the times. For a man who claimed realism as a badge, he was unaware of the gathering force of Keynesian macroeconomics, the colossal effort to restore market economies by American businesses, and the delegations preparing to gather in nearby Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to draft what would become the postwar financial architecture. He was, above all, oblivious of the underlying transformation in mass consumption and the importance of Fordism to re-railing capitalism. The market, for Polanyi, was a source of enrichment for plutocrats and oppression for workers, nothing more. The idea that the market could be a space for satisfying wants—and, even more, inventing them—was beyond conception. Polanyi had missed one great transformation altogether: the globalization of consumption.
If Polanyi wanted this to be his moment, and his book to provide the moral economics of a new era, he was, as Block and Somers note, a failed prophet. The idea of people submitting their individualisms to something larger—the "reality of society"—had just debased itself in horrid ways. It would take a while for the idea of group or collective rights to regain some traction.
Polanyi did not give up right away. Beyond the United States, "liberal capitalism can hardly be said to exist any more," he would write with confidence in a 1947 essay published in Commentary. Called "Our Obsolete Market Mentality," it outlines a "total view of man and society," and not the splintered soul of Homo economicus. Phrases such as "the fullness of life to the person," and the yearning for a "truly democratic society," fill the pages, revealing a normative vision of a world emerging from catastrophe.
Polanyi's influence on his present was almost nil. By 1947 he was ever more removed from prevailing understandings of liberal capitalism. Moral economics got paved over by a specialized, technocratic brand of economic thinking coupled to historically unprecedented growth and social safety nets. Sensing his discordance with his time, Polanyi turned away from the present, receding to focus on the economic history of ancient and tribal societies where Homo moralis played a larger role in the epic of humanity. In these areas, Polanyi's influence was—and continues to be—profound. In his final years, he settled down outside Toronto, though even then it was not for want of a permanent home but rather because his wife Ilona, a former communist, was barred from the United States. For a moral man, Polanyi's community ties remained strikingly thin. He shuffled to New York to give classes at Columbia, influenced the likes of Moses Finley, Marshall Sahlins, and Anne Chapman, and tapped into the largesse of the Ford Foundation to pursue his interests in ancient empires.
I first read "Our Obsolete Market Mentality" around 1980, when Polanyi was making a comeback. One of his Columbia students and close collaborators, Abraham Rotstein, gave me a photocopy of it when I was studying Canadian economic history. At the time Rotstein was embroiled in a debate over whether the colonial fur trade in North America had revealed Ojibwe people's inner individualism as proto-NAFTA-makers. Rotstein was trying to hold the Polanyian line against a Friedmanite juggernaut. Neoclassical economics was storming to power in London and Washington, having seized it in Pinochet's Chile. The sanctuary of economic history, even in Canada, was feeling the pressure to get with the times and to appreciate the universality of the economicus in the Homo. Margaret Thatcher, after all, gave us an epigram of the 1980s with her declaration that there was "no such thing as society," just individuals and their families. Rotstein's efforts went the way of so many other quests for alternatives to market fundamentalism. The case for Homo moralis got sidelined again, condemned to "critique" from the academic edges.
Maybe that is the best moral economists can hope for. But as we take stock of our long cycle of market fundamentalism and our globalization, old questions return. As it slumps, the world is scrambling to figure out what is next. Do we double down on more of the same, as post-1919 leaders did to their creaking order? There is almost no appetite for that, as Britain's "Remainers" and Hillary Clinton's fate showed. Having to choose between "patriots and globalists," as Marine Le Pen and nativists worldwide argue, is no more appealing. Polanyi can help us consider the conditions that make market life work—and even endurable. But if moral economics does not want to get paved over again, it will have to find a way to get beyond the stark dichotomies that have fueled its passion, as if we must choose between ethical community or economic interdependence, morals or markets.
Reader Comment: "I think it's a bit unfair. Social thinkers who lived through waves of war were also relatively silent on that subject - that does not mean those wars had no influence on their work."


The first drinks book in the English language to contain recipes for cocktails, The Bar-Tender's Guide or How to Mix Drinks by Jerry "The Professor" Thomas (later retitled How to Mix Drinks or the Bon-Vivan'ts Companion) presented the broad variety of mixed drinks that had gained rapid popularity in the United States by the early 1860s.
Ten cocktails appear in this landmark work: Brandy, Champagne, Fancy Brandy, Fancy Gin, Gin, Japanese, Jersey, Soda, The, and Whiskey. Thomas's travels to England in 1859 where he appeared as a guest barman at the Bowling Alley Bar in London's Cremorne Pleasure Gardens yielded a few adaptations of British drinks such as Gin Punch by [Alexis Benoit] Soyer.
Bottled cocktails and punch to speed up service are also introduced in this amazing mixed drink bible.

Gag Order Issued In Murder Case For Black Driver Who Shot At 'Racists' Trying 'To Run Him Off The Road'
COVID-19 concerns will keep William Marcus Wilson behind bars in Georgia until an undetermined date.
Written By Bruce C.T. Wright
A Black driver in Georgia accused of murder for what his lawyers say was a case of self-defense remained behind bars on after a judge on Tuesday issued a gag order and continued a preliminary hearing for an undetermined later date. The deadly episode in Statesboro presented a unique case centered on the state's Stand Your Ground law, which many times claimed by white defendants who have killed Black people.
William Marcus Wilson and his girlfriend were chased by a "truckload of belligerent racists" trying to run them off the road in Georgia. Now he's in jail for legally defending himself with a legal gun despite Stand Your Ground laws that should free him.https://t.co/8jL6WEImMh
— NewsOne (@newsone) July 6, 2020
William Marcus (Marc) Wilson's defense team says their client was being chased last month by a pick-up truck carrying white people yelling racial slurs and threatening physical harm. One of Wilson's lawyers previously said there is "evidence" that a "truckload of belligerent racists" had "attempted to run him off the road." That was when Wilson used his legal firearm to shoot a "warning shot" that fatally hit one of the truck's passengers. Wilson told police he was trying to defend himself but was still forced to turn himself in and ultimately got charged with one count of felony murder and one count of aggravated assault in the death of Haley Hutcheson, who was 17 years old.
A preliminary hearing was held in Statesboro on Tuesday but it was cut short after witnesses subpoenaed by Wilson's lawyers announced they had tested positive for COVID-19 and would not be able to participate because of social distancing guidelines. Local news outlet WTOC reported that both the defense and prosecution had "a line of witnesses to testify why Marc Wilson should or should not be granted bond." However, because the hearing in Bulloch County Superior Court was cut short and set to continue at another date, Wilson had to remain jailed.
The gag order issued by Judge Michael Muldrew was extensive and prohibits anyone involved in the case from doing things like discussing criminal histories of Wilson and his alleged assailants if any exist. However, Wilson's lawyers have maintained that the police instantly criminalize their client and local press has offered sympathetic coverage to Hutcheson and cast the defendant as the villain despite the law being on his side.
Riding with Hutcheson inside the pick-up truck were Mason Edward Glisson, Luke Harry Conley and Ashton Robert Deloach, all 18. Francys Johnson, one of the attorneys representing Wilson, said in a press conference on Monday that four of them "have a reputation" in the area and that they were afforded special privileges by police.
The situation unfolded June 14 when Wilson and his girlfriend, who is white, went for a late-night drive to Taco Bell. After getting their food, they say a truck began following them with its occupants yelling racial slurs and trying to run them off the road. The truck was allegedly playing music from "The Purge," a movie about the one lawless night every year when vigilantes are all but encouraged to go wild with violence. Believing his life was in danger, he "fired off a warning shot" that struck Hutcheson, according to an online petition demanding Wilson be freed from the Bulloch County Detention Center.
Johnson said the people inside the car chasing Wilson were "yelling phrases like 'nigger,' 'your lives don't matter' and called his girlfriend a 'nigger lover.'" He also said the Statesboro Police Department mismanaged the case from the start by immediately criminalizing Wilson despite state laws that should afford him his freedom. It is the same law, they said, that delayed arresting Ahmaud Arbery's killers for more than two months and also the same law that allowed George Zimmerman to be acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin in 2012.
The Georgia NAACP state president, who also spoke during the press conference, said there is a lack of due process for Black people in America and cited what he said were inaccurate reports about Wilson that criminalized him from the start.
"He was the one who was literally defending his and his girlfriend's lives," James "Major" Woodall said. "Black people's lives are not as important and valued under the law."
It was unclear when Wilson's next court date would be.
