'Justice for All' lets civil rights leader Lloyd Barbee tell his story
Lloyd A. Barbee fought for racial justice, but never got to tell his own story. "Justice for All," edited by his daughter, is a step toward doing that.

In 1966, when a Milwaukee civil rights leader challenged Mayor Henry Maier's commitment to fighting segregation, the mayor challenged right back:
"The record shows I was in the field of fighting prejudice long before I heard of Mr. Barbee and long before there was a climate in support of the fight, such as Mr. Barbee has," Maier told The Milwaukee Journal.
Maier was definitely mistaken.
Lloyd A. Barbee had been fighting for racial justice in Milwaukee and Wisconsin for two decades before Maier's outburst, and continued to do so for nearly 40 years more, until his death in 2002 at the age of 77.
Sometimes, as in his early years in the Wisconsin Legislature when he was its only African-American member, he was fighting on his own. Best known for leading the long battle to integrate Milwaukee schools, he fought for equal rights on multiple fronts, and kept fighting till justice was in sight.
But Barbee never did tell his story. In 1982, he started work on a manuscript that he never finished. Barbee's daughter, Daphne E. Barbee-Wooton, took that material and, with a collection of notes to constituents, speeches and other ephemera, shaped it into "Justice for All: Selected Writings of Lloyd A. Barbee."
Even with its patchwork structure, "Justice for All" is a solid and sometimes surprising vehicle for hearing one of the most important voices in the fight for civil rights in Milwaukee.
Justice for All: Selected Writings of Lloyd A. Barbee. Edited by Daphne E. Barbee-Wooten. Wisconsin Historical Society Press. 304 pages. $26.95. (Photo: WHS Press)
You can't call it a memoir, although the first half is roughly structured as autobiography, with Barbee talking about growing up in Tennessee and then going to law school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he soon became head of the state chapter of the NAACP and led the fight to change the racially offensive name of a lake in Polk County to Freedom Lake.
Much of the book, however, is made up of letters — mass mailings, really — to constituents on a surprising range of topics.
The most engaging of them reveal his experiences on the front lines of the fight not just on school integration but also for less-remembered battles, such as the black student protest at what is now UW-Oshkosh in 1968.
As he did in his public statements, Barbee rarely pulled his punches.
"The State of Wisconsin is racist," Barbee wrote in 1982. "If it desires to do anything about it, it cannot continue to teach children that all things good in America and the world are white."
In his recollections of leaders he'd met, Barbee gives insights not only into those leaders but his own continuing education, especially a 1982 excerpt about Malcolm X, whose changing worldview came closer to Barbee's — he called himself a "one world, one race person" — as he moved forward.
But the message that rings through "Justice for All" is that Barbee never stopped fighting. Barbee recounts his campaign over a half-decade in the Legislature to toughen the state's anemic fair housing laws.
"This, among other matters, earned me the reputation as a person who stayed on the job until it was completed as planned," he wrote.

Composer, Arranger & Publisher
When I first started piano lessons at the age of six, I enjoyed improvising and picking out tunes on the piano. My teacher was very accommodating in being willing to notate these early efforts. Whilst at school, I composed a number of pieces which were performed, most notably, the anthem The Time We Have is Precious which was sung in Gloucester Cathedral at the school's Founders' Day service.
A good number of my compositions and arrangements were written in response to the needs of individuals, ensembles and choirs with which I've worked. They are predominantly aimed at amateur groups and often at those with limited resources.
I compose and arrange in a wide range of musical styles and genres. Works have been described as 'refreshing', 'effective' and 'sensitive'. Pieces are published in the UK, USA and Canada. Performances take place worldwide, but particularly in the US.
The music I write is diverse both in its style and instrumentation, but overall, its intention is to be accessible and enjoyable. I hold several diplomas for composition, including two from the London College of Music, and I am a Writer Member of PRS and MCPS.
I continue to accompany a range of singers, instrumentalists, choirs and ensembles, and have experience accompanying virtually every imaginable musical style. I have accompanied many exams and assessments with all the major boards, right from pre-Grade 1 to diploma level.
I became a church organist since the age of 14, accompanying a variety of choirs and church groups, in addition to playing for regular services. I have worked with local amateur dramatics and drama groups, accompanying several major musical theatre productions including Bugsy Malone, Crazy for You, The Little Shop of Horrors and Guys & Dolls.
I thoroughly enjoy accompanying and realising that a good accompanist can make all the difference to a successful performance, my skills have often been described as 'sensitive', 'confident' and 'reassuring'.
Subject to availability, I am available to accompany exams in the Lichfield area (including Four Oaks and Sutton Coldfield).
Accompanying for exams is charged in two parts: firstly any rehearsals, and secondly, the exam itself.
1. Exam Rehearsals 2. Exam Accompaniment
The number of rehearsals needed will depend on several factors:
Whether the candidate has played with the 'live' accompaniment to their pieces before;
Whether they need help with and practice at the aural tests;
How confident they are with the pieces;
How much has been covered in their lessons.
As a rough guide, the following is recommended, but dependent on the aforementioned list, more or less time may be necessary:
Preliminary Grades 1 x 30 minutes
Grades 1–5 2 x 30 minutes
Diplomas Please enquire
Rehearsals are charged as follows:
30 minutes £18.00
Exam accompanying is charged as follows:
Pre-Grade 1 £16.00
Grades 1-3 £19.00
Grade 8 £28.00
These prices include travel; where there is more than one candidate to accompany, these prices will be adjusted to reflect that. To enquire about accompanying, or to discuss your requirements further please;
Freelance Writer & Researcher
Over the years, I have built up a portfolio of writing and research related, albeit not exclusively, to music education. I have contributed to a range of magazines and journals including Music Teacher Magazine, Piano Professional, Cathedral Music and Forte. I was recently commissioned by LCM Exams to write about the changing landscape of examinations and assessments.
I continue to research a range of music education-related areas, and the primary focus at the present time is on autonomy and control in private instrumental teaching. This has formed the basis of my PhD submission at the Royal College of Music, London.
Research has been presented at a number of conferences including at University College, London (UCL) and The University of York.

The American Society of Bioethics and Humanities granted ANA authors Winifred J. Ellenchild Pinch, RN, EdD, FAAN, and Amy M. Haddad, BSN, MSN, PhD, "The Substantive Contribution to Nursing Ethics Award" for their research on the work of nurse ethicists, which led to Nursing and Health Care Ethics: A Legacy and A Vision.
Although thousands of articles and books appear annually in the field of nursing ethics, the sheer volume of scholarly publications points to the need to provide assessment and focus, and that is what this book offers.
Nursing and Health Care Ethics documents the work of nurse scholars in ethics, and goes well beyond a mere documentation of what has transpired and a list of what can be done in the future. It creatively looks back to assess previous accomplishments and forward to find new directions and strengthen future scholarly contributions in nursing ethics. Critical thinking activities, organized by the book's themes (such as vulnerability, care and caring, diversity and disparity, and pain and suffering) are examples of applying these scholarly insights into practice. This book is intended not only for undergraduate and graduate students in academic settings, but also for those in professional development programs.


After the 2000 presidential-election voting flap, the federal Help America Vote Act was passed two years later, in part to provide people with disabilities better access at the polls.
But in New York, the slowest state in the nation to implement the federal requirements, better access may be turning into little access.
As part of a pending lawsuit settlement with the U.S. Justice Department, the state plans to have a limited number of new voting machines this year for disabled voters. Next year, the state plans to install more technologically advanced machines at every polling place.
The plan means that most counties, including Monroe, will likely have only one machine specifically designated to assist disabled voters. Monroe County plans to have the machine available somewhere downtown.
For some of the estimated 84,000 people in the county who live with a disability, the plan is troubling. While people could still vote at their regular polling places with the old lever machines or by absentee ballot, some said they were looking forward to voting on fully accessible machines.
"We were under the impression we would have a machine in every polling place," said Henrietta resident M.J. Schmitt, who is 74 and blind. "It seems very far from what we wanted it to be."
The lack of access this year is angering activists and local people with disabilities, who argue that New York's approach flouts the spirit of the law. More importantly, they question how people with limited mobility will be able to travel from around the county to only one voting place.
It is a concern that's being expressed statewide. New York City, for example, plans to only have one machine in each of its five boroughs.
Wow. One accessible machine for all of Manhattan? That's going to be a big help.
Increasingly it seems like the same strategists as always have figured ways to utilize the shifting regulatory environment to exclude undesirable voters. It is a penchant which extends far beyond western civilization.
An interesting statistic for New York City proper, would be the geographical density of physically disabled. Perhaps it is my subjective impression only, but I suspect that NYC has more disabled people per sq. mile than any city I have seen.


that's due to ShellMultiTeam not having the bar at the beginning.

Dublin Airport could...
Dublin Airport could see the end of 100ml liquid rule with new tech
By Stephen Porzio
November 25, 2022 at 1:34pm
The technology also eliminates the need to remove laptops from cabin baggage.
An end to the 100ml liquid rule could be on the way for Dublin Airport as "enhanced x-ray technology" is being trialled at the location.
Liquids, gels and pastes currently must be 100ml or less to go in hand luggage through the airport. At security, these must be removed from the luggage and displayed in a transparent, sealable bag measuring 20cm x 20cm.
As well as this, laptops and electrical items must also be taken out of luggage at security.
However, Donegal and Shannon airports have already introduced new technologies that remove the need for such measures.
In a statement to JOE on Friday (25 November), airport operator daa confirmed it is currently trailling technologies that could enable both Cork and Dublin's airports to follow in Donegal and Shannon's footsteps.
"daa continues to implement the EU-wide aviation security regulation in relation to the 100ml limit for liquids, lotions, gels and pastes at Dublin and Cork airports," a spokesperson said.
"daa is currently trialling new enhanced x-ray technology at Dublin Airport. As Dublin Airport has over 30 x-ray machines, across two terminals, this will be a complex process.
"This project will involve the purchase of new state-of-the-art equipment as well as the completion of significant civil works within the terminal building itself.
"When installed, the new technology at Dublin and Cork airports will end the need to remove laptops and liquids from cabin baggage and will enhance the overall customer experience for passengers."
However, this project at Dublin Airport is said to be in its very early days.

Adam McKinney Remarks at Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission Hearing, July 8, 2019
Good afternoon. My name is Adam McKinney and I am an Assistant Professor of dance at Texas Christian University. I am here as the Co-Director of DNAWORKS, a Fort Worth-based arts and service organization committed to healing through the arts and dialogue.
First, I would like to respectfully acknowledge all Native American peoples who have lived on this land since time immemorial.
I look to the ways in which our city is both committed to and challenged by racial equity. We are at a wonderful and particular time in history when we, as a city, get to "get it right" when it comes to racism in our country. I am inspired by the work of our city's Mayor's Task Force on Race & Culture and the myriad ways in which Fort Worth communities have publicly voiced our dedication to these issues. I share my thoughts today as a collaborative offering to accelerate and scale up our joint goals – within our city, our region, our nation, and our world.
I would like to offer an alternative to demolition of the building at 1012 N. Main Street
DNAWORKS, which has a 14-year track record of successful national and international leadership in social justice and the arts, has a clear vision and plan for transforming the building into an international center for performing arts and community healing, thereby also transforming a history of hate and injustice into a present and future of healing, peace and community.
The center will offer programming that reflects our city's commitment to equity, access and opportunity. It will also house an educational wing, which be used to train people of all ages in theories and practices of peace, reconciliation, and restorative justice. DNAWORKS has already received communications from national and international organizations who are interested in presenting their work in the transformed building. Additionally, a generous individual has offered to donate an artifact from the Holocaust to be placed in the building's proposed educational wing once completed.
Never in the history of Texas, nor in our country, has a former Ku Klux Klan building been transformed in such a way. Thus, Fort Worth has an exceptional opportunity to lead and model our commitment to equity through arts innovation.
There will be many incentives, not the least of which will be:
- positive national and global attention;
- our heightened profile in the area of racial and economic equity;
- increased tourism, economy and business investments; and
- an increased number of jobs available to artists and other workers in our city.
As a city, we need to harness this particular moment in time to turn this building into a jewel of Fort Worth, as opposed to demolishing a building with a very troubled past. And it will be because of the transformation of the building and the transformation of us as a city that people will be interested in and will want to come to Fort Worth. I believe that it behooves us a city to be the national and global frontrunner of civic transformation and mobilization in this way.
Given the application for the certificate of appropriateness, I suggest that the demolition of the building at 1012 N. Main Street is inappropriate because it means that a history of violence will be forgotten. And when we forget to remember, it allows for the possibility of violence to be reconstructed and repeated. Thus, I advocate for the full 180-day delay of demolition.
And we must never forget to remember Mr. Fred Rouse who was lynched two miles from here by members of the Ku Klux Klan on December 11, 1921. This means that it is our responsibility as a city to look back together to remember, so that we cease to be complicit.
At this time, I would like introduce the great nephew of Mr. Fred Rouse – Mr. Robert Rouse, who would like to share a few words.
In loving memory of Chadwick Aaron Boseman

Flying Safari to Ruaha and Selous Game Reserve will take you to visit two of the southern circuit of Tanzania national parks for game viewing. You will spend 3 nights in Ruaha national park and 4 nights in Selous Game Reserve. Explore the areas where you will see the rare SABLE antelopes as well as small and large mammals including a variety of reptiles and bird species. Accommodation can be in a Lodge, Luxury Tented Camp or Budget Camping sites. Booked on full board arrangements.
In the morning, we'll you pick up from your hotel in Dar es Salaam or if you are from the airport, we'll proceed to Terminal B for your scheduled flight to Ruaha National Park. You will arrive at lunchtime and then you can have a short rest. Late in the afternoon, we'll walk and go on an afternoon game viewing. Dinner and overnight at Ruaha River Camp in Full Board basis.
Enjoy your breakfast in your accommodation and then proceed to a morning and afternoon game drive in the park. We'll look for Roan and Sable antelopes, hippos, crocodiles, waterbucks, reedbucks and buffalos as they venture to the river's edge to drink, attracting the attention of Lions, Leopards, Hyenas, Wild dogs and Jackals and many more antelopes include Dik-dik. There are many birds in the park too that includes Eurasia migrants that come to visit the park twice a year. You will have all meals and overnight at Ruaha River Camp.
After breakfast, we'll have a full-day game drive and explore the park. In the evening, back to the Camp/Lodge for dinner and overnight.
Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania. The addition of the Usangu Game Reserve and other important wetlands to the park in 2008 increased its size to about 20,226 square kilometres (7,809 sq mi), making it the largest park in Tanzania and East Africa. The park is about 130 kilometres (81 mi) west of Iringa. The park is a part of the 45,000 square kilometres (17,000 sq mi) Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi ecosystem, which includes the Rungwa Game Reserve, the Kizigo, and Muhesi Game Reserves, and the Mbomipa Wildlife Management Area.
After enjoying your breakfast in your accommodation we'll transfer to the airstrip to catch your scheduled flight to Selous Game Reserve via Dar es Salaam. You will arrive in Selous early afternoon. Dinner and overnight at Rufiji River Camp.
Most of the reserve remains set aside for game hunting through a number of privately leased hunting concessions, but a section of the northern park along the Rufiji River has been designated a photographic zone and is a popular tourist destination. There are several high-end lodges and camps mainly situated along the river and lake systems in this area. Rather difficult road access means most visitors arrive by small aircraft from Dar es Salaam, though train access is also possible.
Your breakfast in your accommodation will be followed by both a morning and afternoon game drives in the reserve.
Selous is a home to large population of elephant, big number of buffalo and wild dog. Other species commonly seen are lion, bushbuck, impala, giraffe, eland, baboon, zebra, Kudus and Crocodile. You will have all meals and overnight at Rufiji River Camp.
After breakfast, we'll proceed with a walking trip in the wilderness accompanied by an armed ranger guide to get closes to the animals. You will have picnic lunch in the bush and then after lunch, we'll drive to Rufiji for an afternoon boat excursion on the Rufiji River sporting large floating bodies of Hippos and/or Crocs. In the evening, as the sun goes down, we will take you back to Rufiji River Camp for your dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, we'll proceed to a morning game drive. In the afternoon, relax at your leisure at Rufiji River Camp while waiting for dinner.
After breakfast, we'll transfer to the airstrip for a scheduled flight to Zanzibar Island. Meet with our staff at the airport and then transfer to your hotel for dinner and overnight. Booked on half board basis.

Waste management around the world
The UK government has substantially upped its efforts to improve recycling over the past decade. With landfill sites filling up and space at a premium in the UK, more and more of us are being encouraged to recycle.
However, whilst many of us seem to have caught the recycling bug here in the UK, large scale change can only be achieved through worldwide participation in recycling practises, and whilst considerable improvement has been made, the UK is still a long way off meeting our EU target of 50% of our waste to be recycled. So what is the rest of the world doing when it comes to waste recycling, and is there anything that we learn from it?
Recycling policy differs from country to country and the amount each country recycles will ultimately depend on a combination of both the attitude of the government in place at the time and the amount of consumer pressure in that area. As of 2013, the UK ranked in 11th place in the recycling tables at 39%. In contrast, fellow EU member Austria topped the world tables with a recycling rate of 63%. Austria has managed to make such considerable advances because of two main factors. The first is media presence. Austria has managed to use advertising and the media to cultivate really positive attitudes surrounding the recycling process, which in turn has diffused through the whole of Austrian society, encouraging more and more people to recycle. Secondly, with state of the art facilities and machinery available to companies, more and more people are being incentivised to go into the recycling business, which in turn has increased demand for recyclable materials.
However, whilst it's important that we don't dismiss the UK's shortcomings compared to Austria, it is important to point out that the UK has undoubtedly made considerable improvement, doubling how much it recycles over the past 15 years, and there are still plenty of countries that the UK is vastly outperforming.
Nigeria is one example. Africa's most populous country is one of those guilty of lagging far behind with what is expected when it comes to recycling. Their infrastructure is unequipped to deal with the waste that they are producing and many of it ends up in open landfill. Estimates suggest that only 13% of recyclable materials are ever recovered from city landfills, meaning that more and more new products have to be created in order to feed the demand for plastics and glass whilst recyclable materials lie unprocessed in landfill sites.
Romania is another example. The country has extremely lax laws when it comes to waste management. Despite agreeing to EU targets being set at 50% of its waste to be recycled, Romania has been guilty of badly failing in its recycling efforts. Without the right controls put in place, and a lack of investment in both facilities and schemes, meeting these targets has been made almost impossible. Estimates suggest that just 1% of waste is ever recycled.
So, whilst the UK is doing ok, it could still do much better, which could be helped by government intervention, more awareness campaigns, more financial incentives, and businesses having the equipment needed to recycle more. Recycling is a major consideration for LSPS in Leicester, and we are dedicated to recycling everything possible to reduce waste going to landfill. If more companies offered the same service, recycling as much waste as possible, then it could greatly help with the UK's performance. For more information about recycling, please read our article, "Recycling: are we doing our bit?"
What can I put inside my skip?

This article reports on the findings of a planned workplace health promotion intervention, and the aim is to identify conditions that facilitated or restricted the learning to promote health at an emergency care department in a Swedish hospital. The study had a longitudinal design, with interviews before and after the intervention and follow-up interviews one year after the intervention. Data were collected through individual interviews with employees and managers, in total 69 interviews. In addition, data were collected from documents. The study provided insight into conditions which were found to act as expansive and restrictive reinforcements for learning to promote health. The conclusion is that the workplace health promotion intervention was shaped by conditions that existed outside the local workplace level which restricted the workplace health promotion. Nevertheless, collective employee-driven activities had the capacity to facilitate learning for change in order to create a health-promoting workplace. The advantage of combining theories of learning and workplace health promotion provided a holistic analytical view of learning to promote health at work and helped to uncover and monitor changed conditions during a planned workplace health promotion intervention.

Q: Possible to use (y,X) in a model instead of y~x1+x2... in R? I'm porting some of the stuff I've done in python over to R and a lot of my models in scikit use this type of formula. It's helpful in my use case because the dataframe's I work with typically have many variables/features. In R most guide's suggest building a model using a formula such as
lm(y~x1+x2+x3...)

If I do this with a high dimensional dataframe it gets messy quickly. I've figured out how to build a formula with many variables like this
form <- as.formula(paste0('~', paste(names(df), collapse='+')

I concat this with y to create the full formula. Is it possible to just supply a model with a response variable vector and a matrix of predictors similar to the following?
lm(y,X) or lm(y~X)

Elon Musk says he would consider a "phone replacement" if Twitter boots from the Apple and Google app stores
Twitter head Elon Musk He says he's considering making a "phone replacement" should Twitter be removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Musk made the comments Friday night in response to conservative commentator Liz Wheeler, who tweeted, "If Apple and Google run Twitter from their app stores @elonmusk should produce its own smartphone. Half the country will ditch the biased and hacky iPhone. Android. The man who makes Rockets to Mars, that silly little smartphone should come in handy, right?"
Musk replied, "I certainly hope it doesn't come to that, but, yeah, if there's no other choice, I'll make a replacement phone."

Bahá'í Quotes
Now there are many wisdoms to ponder in the dream, which none but the people of this Valley can comprehend in their true elements. First, what is this world, where without eye and ear and hand and tongue a man puts all of these to use? Second, how is it that in the outer world thou seest today the effect of a dream, when thou didst vision it in the world of sleep some ten years past? Consider the difference between these two worlds and the mysteries which they conceal, that thou mayest attain to divine confirmations and heavenly discoveries and enter the regions of holiness.
Bahá'u'lláh, The Seven Valleys, p. 32
But many things come to the mind of man which are like the waves of the sea of imaginations; they have no fruit, and no result comes from them. In the same way, man sees in the world of sleep a vision which becomes exactly realized; at another time, he sees a dream which has absolutely no result.
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, p. 251
If thou art not seeing dreams (and visions), be thou not sad. Thou art going to see, whilst thou art awake. A wakeful eye is acceptable in the Threshold of the Almighty. Therefore, I hope that thou wilt open the eye of thine insight, travel in all the realms of God, see the splendor of the Kingdom and behold the effulgence of the Realm of might.
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá v3, p. 531
That merciful maid-servant (i. e., thyself) seeth some spiritual dreams (or visions). these are, in reality, discoveries of the heart and are spiritual visions.
As regards . . .'s claim to have direct revelation from God; such visions and communications as he may receive cannot, from the standpoint of the Cause, be well considered in the nature of a direct and authoritative revelation from God such as experiences by Divine Prophets and Messengers. There is a fundamental difference between Divine Revelation as vouchsafed by God to His Prophets, and the spiritual experiences and visions which individuals may have. The latter should, under no circumstances, be construed as constituting an infallible source of guidance, even for the person experiencing them. The Guardian wishes you to fully explain and clarify this point to . . . that he may have no illusion regarding the true Bahá'í attitude on this and similar matters.
Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 514
Briefly, there is no question that visions occasionally do come to individuals, which are true and have significance. On the other hand, this comes to an individual through the grace of God, and not through the exercise of any of the human faculties. It is not a thing which a person should try to develop. When a person endeavors to develop faculties so that they might enjoy visions, dreams etc., actually what they are doing is weakening certain of their spiritual capacities; and thus under such circumstances, dreams and visions have no reality, and ultimately lead to the destruction of the character of the person.
First concerning visions; it is very difficult to distinguish between true visions which are true spiritual experiences of the soul and imaginations which have no reality in spiritual truths. True visions, however, can be granted to those who are spiritually pure and receptive, and are not therefore confined to the Prophets alone.
There is a fundamental difference between Divine Revelation as vouchsafed by
God to His Prophets, and the spiritual experiences and visions which individuals
may have. The latter should, under no circumstances, be construed as constituting
an infallible source of guidance, even for the person experiencing them.
From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian dated 1 November 1940 to an individual believer

Spencer Tracy – 'who had the badness taken out of him by the Jesuits'
By Jim Rees
Several Hollywood actors built careers on playing the role of decent, dependable individuals, often battling against more powerful and more sinister forces. Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda spring to mind. A third was Spencer Tracy.
As his surname suggests, Tracy had Irish blood in his veins and this was often blamed for his unruly childhood. Reared Catholic, at the age of nine he was placed in the care of Dominican nuns in the hope that they could control his boisterous behaviour. He later attended a series of Jesuit schools and he credited these institutions with 'taking the badness out of me'.
Blood is blood. No matter what its ethnic origins might be, it can't be the fall guy for bad behaviour. So, if his 'Irish blood' wasn't the cause, what did make him such a difficult child?
Like many artistic people, he found it difficult to conform to general rules and regulations. It was even more frustrating for him to find a constructive outlet for his wayward creativity.
It was at one of the Jesuit schools, Marquette University in his native Milwaukee, that he met fellow Irish-American Pat O'Brien. The pair became immediate friends and would remain so throughout their lives.
The fact that they were the same age – only a matter of months between them – and were both from Milwaukee and were both of Irish descent no doubt helped to cement their friendship, but it was their shared interest in theatre that copperfastened it.
Soon, it wasn't enough simply to go and see plays, they wanted to be in them.

Impact of climate change hits global food market
According to the Bank of England the world is reaching a food crisis that is near apocalyptic, and climate change is a big part of the problem.
Apocalypse is an alarming idea, commonly taken to denote catastrophic destruction foreshadowing the end of the world. But in the original Greek, apokálypsis means a revelation or an uncovering. One vernacular definition is "to take the lid off something".
That latter feat is exactly what Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, achieved last week, possibly inadvertently, when he suggested Britain was facing "apocalyptic" levels of food price inflation. Tory ministers fumed over what they saw as implied criticism of the government's masterly economic management. In fact, Bailey was talking as much about the drastic impact of Ukraine-war-related rises in food costs and food shortages on people in poorer countries. "There's a major worry for the developing world as well … Sorry for being apocalyptic for a moment, but that is a major concern," he said.
With most political and media attention narrowly focused on the emerging UK "cost of living crisis", Bailey's high-profile comments were timely – and revelatory. Months of warnings about a global tidal wave of hunger, rendered more urgent by Ukraine, have been largely ignored, not least by Boris Johnson's aid-cutting government.
The cost of living is a problem in Britain. For UN agencies and humanitarian relief workers around the world, the bigger worry is the cost of dying. Sounding the alarm again last week, António Guterres, the UN secretary general, said Ukraine-related shortages could help "tip tens of millions of people over the edge into food insecurity". The result could be "malnutrition, mass hunger and famine in a crisis that could last for years" – and increase the chances of a global recession.
The World Food Programme estimates about 49 million people face emergency levels of hunger. About 811 million go to bed hungry each night. The number of people on the brink of starvation across Africa's Sahel region, for example, is at least 10 times higher than in pre-Covid 2019. The adverse impact of Russia's invasion on the availability and price of staples such as wheat, maize, barley and sunflower oil – Ukraine and Russia normally produce about 30% of global wheat exports – has been huge.
Ukraine's wheat production this year is likely to be 35% down, and exporting much of it may be impossible due to Russia's Black Sea blockade. In March, global commodity prices, recorded by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation, hit an all-time high. They remain at record-breaking levels. Russia's war has compounded or accelerated pre-existing food deficits and inflationary trends arising from a host of linked factors: the negative economic impact of the pandemic; resulting supply-chain, employment and transport problems; extreme weather and climate-crisis-related falls in output; spiralling energy costs; and numerous other ongoing conflicts worldwide.
Middle-income countries, such as Egypt and Brazil, are exceptionally poorly placed to cope with increased food insecurity, international risk consultants Verisk Maplecroft said in a report last week. Many governments had exhausted their financial and material reserves fighting Covid and incurred large debts. Now the cupboard is bare. "Unlike low-income countries, they were rich enough to offer social protection during the pandemic, but now struggle to maintain high social spending that is vital to the living standards of large sections of their populations," the report said.
Argentina, Tunisia, Pakistan and the Philippines, highly dependent on food and energy imports, were among many other middle- or lower-middle-income countries facing an elevated risk of civil unrest by the end of 2022, it suggested.
As the food "apocalypse" approaches, the poorest peoples will suffer, as they always do, while the wealthiest may be insulated, up to a point. But it is feared that the pain will rapidly move up the global food chain. With it is likely to come a surge in political turbulence, humanitarian crises, instability and geo-strategic rivalries across a hungry world.
Political upheaval and revolt
Scarce food, combined with price increases, electricity blackouts and shortages of petrol, cooking gas and medicines, provoked a political crisis in Sri Lanka this spring that serves as a discomfiting template for countries facing similar problems.
Months of protests culminated in the resignation of the prime minister, Mahinda Rajapaksa, but even his scalp did not prevent unrest turning violent. Desperate, Sri Lanka has been seeking a bridging loan from the World Bank to help pay for essential imports. On Thursday, it defaulted on its debt for the first time ever.
Double-digit inflation that left many Pakistanis unable to afford basic foodstuffs was also a major contributory factor in the fall from power earlier this year of the prime minister, Imran Khan. His attempt to cling to office created a crisis of democracy with which Pakistan is still grappling.
Longer-term factors – repressive governance, corruption, incompetence, polarisation – fuelled unrest in both countries. But dire food shortages and inflation were the catalyst that rendered the objectionable intolerable. That's a prospect now facing insecure and unpopular regimes from Peru, the Philippines and Cuba to Lebanon and Tunisia.
Analysts compare what is happening today in the Middle East with the Arab spring revolts. Egypt, whose government was overthrown in 2011, is the world's largest wheat importer. About 70 million people rely on state-subsidised bread. Russia and Ukraine accounted for 80% of Egypt's grain imports last year.
Today's high prices and supply shortfalls, especially if they worsen, could do for Abdel Fatah al-Sisi's regime what similar grievances did for his deposed presidential predecessor, Hosni Mubarak.
Another country to watch closely is Iran. Violent protests erupted last week in Khuzestan after the government raised the price of bread, cooking oil and dairy products. Iranians' situation is made worse by tough US sanctions and a tyrannical, corrupt clerical regime. If living standards continue to fall, there could be an explosion similar to the thwarted nationwide uprising of 2017-18.
Starvation and famine
In many parts of the world, especially Africa, food insecurity is anything but a new phenomenon. Hunger is the norm and the risk of famine is ever-present, often exacerbated by conflict and climate change. That said, the situation, broadly speaking, is deteriorating.
The total number of people facing acute food insecurity and requiring urgent food assistance has nearly doubled since 2016, according to the Global Network Against Food Crises, a joint UN and EU project. And the scale of the challenge is expanding, up by 40 million people, or 20%, last year. The network's latest report pinpointed countries of particular concern: Ethiopia, South Sudan, southern Madagascar and Yemen, where it said 570,000 people – up 571% on six years ago – were in the most severe or "catastrophe" phase of food insecurity, threatened by the collapse of livelihoods, starvation and death.
Guterres, the UN chief, warned that Vladimir Putin's war was seriously affecting efforts to fight hunger in Africa. It was imperative, he said, to "bring back the agriculture production of Ukraine and the food and fertiliser production of Russia and Belarus into world markets". As Russian state media often note, western sanctions have added to global price volatility.
The UN is calling for Ukraine's blockaded Black Sea and Azov Sea ports to be reopened so that grain exports can resume, not least to African countries. Especially badly affected is the drought-hit Sahel region. "An absolute crisis is unfolding before our eyes," the World Food Programme's director, David Beasley, said following visits to Benin, Niger and Chad. "We're running out of money, and these people are running out of hope."
That's partly because aid now costs more. The UN and international agencies are obliged to pay inflated prices, up about 30% from pre-Covid norms, to secure vital food aid. And it is partly because food is more expensive relative to income. An average UK household spends 10% of its income on food. In Kenya or Pakistan, it is over 40%.
Conflict and instability
Conflict is the biggest driver of hunger, whether it is the depredations of Islamist jihadists in Mali, Nigeria and the southern Philippines, the crass rivalries of regional powers in Yemen and Libya, or an unpardonable full-scale war, as in Ukraine.
The UN estimates that 60% of the world's hungry live in conflict zones. Ukraine has shown again how war, by causing shortages of essentials and rendering normal life insupportable, leads to internal displacement, aid dependency, refugee emergencies and mass migration.
Syria's civil war provides a cautionary example – although there are many others. A relatively prosperous country has been reduced by over a decade of conflict to something approaching a basket case. About 12.4 million people – 60% of the population – suffer food insecurity, a figure that has more than doubled since 2019.
Ethiopia's disastrous war of choice in Tigray, which was invaded by government troops in 2019, is another case of famine following folly. The UN estimated in January that 2 million people were suffering from an extreme lack of food, and were dependent on aid in a province that was previously mostly self-sufficient.
In contrast, South Sudan has never been fully able to feed itself since independence in 2011. Ethnically rooted rivalries have often combined with competition for land and food resources with catastrophic effects. Cattle rustling is a key source of violence, while drought is another big factor.
Even when a struggling country is in the international spotlight – rarely the case with South Sudan – and the war is supposedly over, its fortunes do not necessarily improve. The plight of many Afghans appears to have gone from bad to worse after the 20-year occupation by US and Nato forces ended last year and the Taliban took charge.
The billions of dollars of aid ploughed into the country since 2001 now count for naught. Save the Children said this month that 9.6 million Afghan children are going hungry due to deepening economic woes, Ukraine, and ongoing drought. It is the country's worst hunger crisis on record, the charity said.
Climate crisis and hunger
It is no longer controversial to assert that destroyed crops, lost livelihoods and impoverished communities – key micro-ingredients of mass hunger emergencies – are intimately connected to, and affected by, climate change and extreme weather events. But it is still hard to find concerted, effective international action or public pressure to shift the dynamic.
Horn of Africa countries such as Somalia, for example, are experiencing the worst drought in 40 years amid unprecedentedly high temperatures. As Foreign Policy magazine reported recently, when the rains did come, they were extreme and short-lived, causing flooding and breeding swarms of locusts.
It is claimed that about 3 million livestock have perished in southern Ethiopia and semi-arid parts of Kenya since last year. Pointing to climate change, the UN says 20 million people across the region could go hungry this year. Their plight, too, has been exacerbated by Ukraine.
But when the charity Christian Aid commissioned polling on the Horn of Africa region to find out what the British public thought should be done, only 23% of those questioned were aware there was a problem. In contrast, 91% were aware of Putin's war.
India recently demonstrated the lack of joined-up international thinking on climate, hunger and war. A record-breaking heatwave in north-west India has damaged this year's crops. That led the government to suspend wheat exports this month. Global markets had been relying on India, the world's second-largest producer, to make up the Ukraine shortfall. Instead of helping, Narendra Modi's government did the opposite.
Critical links between the twin crises of climate and hunger are broadly recognised by governments and analysts, but acting to effect real change is proving harder, as the less-than-stellar outcomes of last year's Cop26 summit in Glasgow suggest.
In the meantime, the World Bank is throwing money at the problem – at the latest count, $30bn to help low-income countries embroiled in climate and food crises.
Food and politics
When the history of the Ukraine war is written, Russia's reckless action in weaponising food and deliberately disrupting global supplies, thereby risking the lives of countless millions, may be counted a bigger crime than even its unprovoked attack on its neighbour.
Russia's role as a key grain and energy exporter is likely to outlive the current regime in Moscow. But its global standing and influence is diminished, probably permanently. That is largely due to Putin's personal failure to recognise, or accept, that the era of Soviet exceptionalism is over – and that Russia, like other countries, inhabits a newly interconnected, interdependent, mutually responsible world of rules, rights and laws.
The UN general assembly vote in March, overwhelmingly condemning as illegal Russia's invasion of Ukraine, brought together many once Moscow-friendly developing countries shocked by Putin's disregard for national sovereignty and borders – and his apparent indifference to the wellbeing of poorer nations dependent on food and fuel imports. It was a watershed moment.
China's refusal to condemn the invasion, and its failure to show international leadership in addressing the resulting global hunger and supply crises, may also significantly damage its reputation and, with that, its hopes of hegemony. The contrast presented by the US is striking.
Addressing the UN last week, Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, said the world faced "the greatest global food security crisis of our time". Blinken announced an additional $215m in global emergency food assistance on top of $2.3bn already donated by the US since the Ukraine invasion began on 24 February.
If the looming global "apocalypse" revealed to parliament by Andrew Bailey does indeed materialise this winter, it will be to the US, the UK, their allies and the much-battered UN system – not China, the 21st century's self-designated superpower – that the world must look for earthly salvation. The challenge ahead is truly biblical.

Pelegrini, Andreia et al. "Agreement between body mass index and the sum of skinfolds in adolescents with different levels of physical activity." Human Movement, vol. 19, no. 2, 2018, pp. 11-17. doi:10.5114/hm.2018.74056.
The purpose of this study was to examine the agreement between body mass index and body fat estimate among adolescents with different physical activity (PA) levels, using the sum of skinfolds as our criterion.
This was a cross-sectional study with 732 adolescent participants (63.4% of which were female), with an average age of 16.1 (±1.1) years old. The reference method used to estimate the body fat was the sum of triceps and subscapular skinfolds. BMI was calculated using body mass and height values. The PA was estimated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ (short version). Bland-Altman diagrams were used to evaluate the agreement between BMI and the sum of skinfolds and were transformed into a Z score.
For males, BMI overestimated body fat among those who did (mean error = -0.67; p < 0.001) and those who did not (mean error = -0.45; p < 0.001) meet the recommended PA values with a greater error observed for those who met PA recommendations. For females, BMI underestimated body fat among those who met (mean error = 0.29; p < 0.001) and did not meet (mean error = 0.41; p < 0.001) the recommended PA values with a greater error observed for those who did not meet recommendations.
Compared to sum of skinfolds, there was weak agreement between BMI and body fat among adolescents, especially among those with higher or lower PA levels. The use of other methods to estimate body fat in such cases is strongly recommended.

How New Delhi Tamed China
OMMCOM NEWS Send an email July 11, 2020
New Delhi: A resolute, unruffled leadership and India's multi-pronged, hard stance, from the borders to financial markets, has forced China to tone down its aggression it had initiated since early May 2020. While India's military had been mobilised in equal measure to counter China's belligerence along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Leh visit last Friday was the clearest message to the Chinese. His emphatic assertion that India is ready to fight a bloody battle if it is required to defeat the expansionist Xi Jinping's China could not have been more candid. It showed the world India's resolve to fight and overcome any challenge to its strategic interests.
It is the second time during his tenure as Prime Minister that the Chinese have been pushed back – first in Doklam in 2017 and now Ladakh. Aided by his colleagues, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, the Prime Minister appears to be evolving a China policy that aims to tackle Beijing's expansionist and predatory policies in almost every sector. From banning Chinese origin apps to preventing a free run for Chinese investors in India's tech and power sector, India appears determined not to let China use its free market. By adopting an all-of-government approach to counter China's policies, Prime Minister Modi is taking the complicated task head on in military, diplomatic and economic sectors.
The withdrawal of the Chinese PLA soldiers from the Galwan Valley and other locations in eastern Ladakh is just the start of what is perceived to be a long-drawn, complicated process. India will ensure that it must end at complete disengagement and de-escalation across the Line of Actual Control. The breakthrough was achieved after several rounds of military and diplomatic parleys India and China had, particularly after the Galwan valley incident which saw bloody clashes between two sides on June 15. NSA Ajit Doval's talk with Wang Yi, the Special Representative for boundary talks and China's Foreign Minister on Sunday, came on the back of intense negotiations between military commanders on the ground.
The two-hour long discussion between Wang and Doval appears to have convinced Beijing to cut its losses and agree to disengagement and de-escalation on the border. While the two press statements issued in New Delhi had points of divergence, both sides have agreed to continue negotiations and strategic level communication. The NSA is monitoring the situation after an agreement that both sides should complete the Ladakh disengagement fast.
Both sides were engaged in intense discussions with India asserting that the disengagement process should be based on the consensus of June 6. The two special representatives agreed that both sides should take guidance from the consensus of the leaders that maintenance of peace and tranquility in the India-China border areas was essential for further development of bilateral relations and that two sides should not allow differences to become disputes. Therefore, they agreed that it was necessary to ensure complete disengagement of troops and de-escalation at the earliest for full restoration of peace and tranquility at the borders.
The fact is India has made headway with China by standing firm. China realised that the level of intent and the intensity of purpose of India's determination to hit them back is at an all-time high. They have noticed what has been happening over the last month and how India is countering and matching every move of Chinese aggression. Chinese miscalculated that India would be "soft" going by past precedents after decades of cautious engagement with Beijing. That's why, it seems, for now, they are not taking any chances and stepping back.
All it clearly shows is that India will not relent on Chinese pressure along the LAC and will be ready for any eventuality – be it a bloody skirmish or war. India not once agreed to negotiate on China's terms but instead it put all its diplomatic, economic and military might to fight back. India's rapid military build up by "mirroring" the PLA deployments, with the induction of over 30,000 troops and heavy weaponry all along the LAC in eastern Ladakh certainly surprised the Chinese. Similarly, Sukhoi-30 MKI and MiG-29 fighters, Apache attack and Chinook heavy-lift helicopters are continuing with their round-the-clock operations after being inducted into the forward airbase.
India's military response, combined with intense diplomatic efforts, paid rich dividends and world leaders called out against China's antics and designs. India very effectively got the international community to understand New Delhi's perspective which resulted in both sympathy and support. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar spoke to counterparts from the US, UK, France, Germany, Indonesia, Australia, Canada and Japan among others delivering India's view point on the standoff. There was an intense curiosity among them about the India-China clash, the causes and how India planned to deal with it. The international community was very receptive of what India had to say particularly in the light of Covid-19 and Chinese actions thereafter. India's strategy to degrade China globally worked and it made Chinese Communist Party leaders succumb to international pressure.
India's hardened stance would make China bleed economically. Following the ban on 59 Chinese apps, the government has also announced that Chinese companies would not be allowed to take part in road projects. The Indian Railways cancelled a significant tender to a Chinese company. BSNL and MTNL have also been asked to stop importing Chinese equipment.
Following the Prime Minister's call for 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat', traders associations have been calling to boycott Chinese products. The Indian government is now considering trade and procurement curbs targeting China in many sectors and weighing a decision to keep out Chinese companies like Huawei from the 5G trial. The moves could potentially cost Chinese companies billions of dollars. The combined estimated loss for these apps and Chinese companies is around $50 billion. This number will only go upwards. The message from India is that it cannot continue trade and investment relations as normal, if China does not relent and pull back its troops along the LAC.
