The government's challenge is to ensure that the reforms implemented in order to gain access to the OECD are in line with a vision of development that finds a consensus.
The Mauricio Macri administration is making a great effort, pushing for Argentina to join the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Through this move, it intends to prepare our institutional system to tackle a major foreign affairs challenge, one defined by the Brazilian Celso Lafer as "translating internal necessities into external possibilities." The project will demand considerable efforts from government officials, businessmen and civil society – it is therefore critical that this process be linked to a vision of development that possesses elements of consensus.
The OECD, headquartered in Paris, is composed by 35 states that support democratic values and free commerce. The member states meet to exchange information and share experiences, and seek to coordinate policies with the objective of maximising economic growth.
Considered today to be a "rich nations's club," it is the successor of the Marshall Plan, which supported recovery in Europe after World War II. At the moment of its formal foundation in 1960, it was the United States, Canada and Turkey that joined the European nations. With time, the OECD would admit Japan and South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, countries from Eastern Europe and Baltic states, and Israel. Latin America would later be represented by Chile and Mexico, the land of the OECD's current Secretary General Ángel Gurría.
The OECD has built a prestigious position as provider of "good practice" processes, as well as statistics and analyses comparing the performances of its member countries. These contributions are particularly relevant given the changes that the government is seeking to implement in Argentina. Among these analyses we can mention comparisons that focus on levels of poverty and vulnerability, on education levels – including the PISA index – on degrees of foreign and domestic investment, and on those that focus on the participation of women, such as the Gender Gap index.
The Macri administration is facing up to the OECD's admission process with a considerable amount of vigour. After officially requesting entry, numerous OECD missions have visited the country. The aim is for the government to receive the "green light" that kicks off the process fully, which involves matching the conditions established by 23 key committees. Undersecretary Marcelo Scaglione's team – who are responsible for the admission process – has worked hard to gain access to new committees. The targets were to eight by December 2015, to reach 13 at the end of 2016, and to match 18 by mid-2017. The objective is to fulfill the terms of the 23 committees by the end of this year.
Argentina is taking advantage of its time holding the G20 presidency to work together and strengthen ties with the OECD's staff. Important meetings have been held at the Economy Ministry and at the Pink House, which have been attended by ministers, key OECD leaders – including Chief-of-Staff Gabriela Ramos and Global Relations Director Andreas Schaal – as well as businessmen and legislators. Working together, Argentina has been able to present its "circumstances" to the OECD's representatives.
Access to the OECD does not only give access to "good practices", it can also work as an antidote against the temptation of isolationism. Particularly when a certain degree of humility can be noticed as the OECD's staff proposes "ingredients" to its members, not the imposition of recipes. As to the matter of isolationism, to paraphrase Albert Camus in The Plague: "The bacillus of isolationism does not ever die or disappear." In simpler terms, the practice of comparing ourselves to other member countries of the OECD will ensure we remain connected to the world, evaluating in an effective, though initially painful fashion, the progress that has been made in terms of development.
Although the OECD can provide ingredients and recipes, it is the government that must assume the role of chef, of course. This means adopting and adapting the proposed "best practices" to the underlying circumstances. In this challenge it is important to keep in mind that all the ingredients that must be included in our indigenous recipe must function in order to, in Mario Quintana's words, "find our own road." There must be an accurate sense of sequencing and timing in the selection and mixing of these ingredients.
Judging by what was presented by the team of chefs at the Pink House during OECD week in Buenos Aires, the government appears to have more clarity with regards to the aspects linked to social development than it does for those related to economic development. A social development plan was presented that does not believe in, or await the consequences of the "spillover theory." It consists of three pillars: an income policy component that mitigates – but does not solve – the current economic challenges of the least favoured social sectors; a plan to make quality public goods available to these sectors, augmenting their sense of dignity; and initiatives to reignite social mobility and the feeling of hope through quality education and better employment opportunities. In contrast, and given that foreign debt has its limits and consequences, what has been presented as a productive plan does not appear to be, using the terms used by the OECD staff, more than a list of ingredients. They do no amount to a recipe, and therefore, to good practice. They clearly do not materialise a vision of development.
Argentina's challenge will be to ensure that the reforms implemented in order to gain access to the OECD are in line with a vision of development that finds a consensus. The timing of the admissions process must not limit our degrees of flexibility in finding "our own road". This vision needs to be agreed, and explained, before the OECD admission process is sped up. Especially if we are to avoid future setbacks, with negative consequences, in the international arena.

Recently, the chief executive of Pret A Manger, Clive Schlee, had asked people on twitter whether a 50p discount on coffee would encourage them to use a reusable cup.
The people have spoken and out of 5,000 people, 96% said yes.
He also asked for further ideas of what else would motivate them.
The main suggestion was the idea of a branded reusable coffee cup being sold throughout the stores.
Both the discount and the branded cup are being launched in 2018.
When I first saw the chief executive's post on twitter, I couldn't actually think of what would encourage me, I just thought, why would I bring a cup into work with me?
But thinking about it more, it's a great idea for coffee lovers everywhere, and for the environment.
A 50p discount will go a long way in terms of trying to cut waste and improve recycling rates, so I applaud Pret for what it is doing.
And although I won't be using the 50p discount as I don't drink coffee, if it expanded its discount to include 50p off vanilla hot chocolates, then I would 100% be in the store every week.

My Western Front Walks During the 2020 Shutdown
This is actually a Roads Classic from 2016. Like many of you, I believe, these days I need to get out of the house for walks to avoid climbing-up-the-walls syndrome. So, I'm getting in a lot of walking. On my list of preferred routes, this is one I hit at least once a week. Here's the original article.
I have been blessed with a hiking location just a few miles from my home in the East Bay area of Northern California, which—for reasons that will be explained below—provides me with many reminders of the Western Front. As you might guess, this is quite inspiring for someone who regularly leads tours of the actual battlefields. Before I share a little history of this site, let me show you some images of my favorite walking trails, at 2,300-acre Point Pinole Regional Shoreline, and share how some of the stops bring distant locations to mind.
Entrance Signage
Crossing the Rail Bridge from the Parking Lot into the Main Park, Reminds Me of Hill 60 at Ypres and the Site of Caterpillar Mine Crater to the Right (Actually It's the Site of the West County Jail.)
A Bunker in the Woods
Point Pinole has been a regional park since 1973. The previous owner was the Atlas Powder Company, one of several firms that manufactured gunpowder and dynamite at the site for a century. This is why it has bunkers and protected areas all over the site.
There Are Trench Remains Everywhere You Look
Just One Example Here
Demolished Site, Reminiscent of Y-Ravine at Beaumont Hamel on the Somme
There are craters formerly used as blast and burning areas and what appear to be trails where the routes for the mini-trains used to shuttle material around the site. These companies have an interesting financial history tracing back to the entrepreneurship of none other than Alfred Nobel and the anti-trust breakup of the DuPont Powder Company.
A Sunken Artillery Position
Hillside Pillbox
As you might guess, this West Coast plant for Atlas Powder did a lot of work during the Great War. I don't have statistics for the Pinole site, but the firms derived from the trust breakup are said to have manufactured 40 percent of the munitions used by the Allies and the U.S. in the war, making well over a billion dollars (1914 dollars) during the war years.
Field Fortification
Same Site Up Close
Different Vegetation, but This Always Reminds Me of the Wheat Field

What I do know for sure is that we ended up with a great and evocative park. I've been taking advantage of it since 1984.
Remembering a Veteran: Signaler and Diarist Sergeant Cyril Lawrence, AIF
By Craig Fullerton
Australian Signalers at Gallipoli—Cyril Lawrence on Right
(Editor's Correction: This article was revised and corrected on 2 June 2020. The editor's were lately very surprised to discover that there were two members of the AIF named Cyril Lawrence, who served in Gallipoli and on the Western Front and were both diarists. Ignorant of the second diarist, your editor drew from the writings of both Cyril's to supplement Craig Fullerton's original article. In this revision, I have deleted the entries from the second Cyril and expanded the entries from Cyril #1.)
Cyril Lawrence was apprenticed as a blacksmith in early 1913 when he was about 18 years old and working for a smithy in Brunswick, Victoria, when World War I broke out. He was probably living with his mother at 20 Staley Street, Brunswick, at the time. He enlisted as a sapper in the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) on 19 August 1914, just 15 days after Australia entered the war. He had just turned 19. He was allocated the service number 132 and assigned to the 1st Australian Division Signal Company. He listed his next-of-kin as his mother, Mary. He indicated that he had previous experience in the Signal Engineers and Senior Cadets for two years. Cyril was just 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed just 9 stone, 10 lbs, so he was not a big man. He had a dark complexion, brown eyes and dark hair.
He left Australia on 20 October 1914 on board the HMAT Karroo, and his unit initially spent time training in Egypt. But by 5 April 1915 they had joined the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force off the Gallipoli Peninsula. The MEF was part of the British Army and commanded all the Allied forces at Gallipoli. At this time it was in the throes of planning for the Gallipoli landings, which took place on 25 April 1915. Cyril Lawrence was among those who created the Anzac legend on that fateful day.
As soon as the sappers landed they established a divisional signal office and laid wires between HQ and the brigades at the front lines. This involved men physically rolling out miles and miles of cable—an extremely hazardous task. But by midnight the HQ signalers sat with telephones and message forms and were constantly in touch with the frontline commanders. One of Cyril's signaler comrades from another battalion—Elias Silas—recorded an account in a book he published in 1916. His diary for 25 April provides a graphic account of what the signalers had to contend with on that day and the following days:
25 April: In the distance one can just discern the Dardenelles opening up – the thunder of the guns is much clearer – the weather this morning is beautiful; what will it be to-night? Studies. I have eaten well. I can now see fire from the guns. I wonder which of the men round me has been chosen by Death. I do not feel the least fear, only a sincere hope that I may not fail at the critical moment.
5.30 pm: [Aboard ship] We are on the battlefield, well under the fire of the enemy – it is difficult to realise that every burst of flame, every spurt of water, means Death or worse. For days before we reached the final scene in the 'Great Adventure' we could hear the ceaseless thunder of the bombardment, we have been told of the impossible task before us, of probable annihilation; yet we are eager to get to it; we joke with each other about getting cold feet, but deep down in our hearts we know when we get to it we will not be found wanting.
The Assembly is sounded – I have never seen it answered with such alacrity – there is a loud cheer as we gather together in the hold. Here for last time in this world many of us stand shoulder to shoulder. As I look down the ranks of my comrades I wonder which of us are marked for the land beyond. Perhaps I shall fly through the side of the ship to answer my question. I don't think I can carry my kit – I can scarcely stand with the weight of it ... I have often been told of the danger of signalling – that few signallers last more than three days. Now indeed is this brought home to me with considerable force – once more I pray that I may not fail the Battalion in the hour of need – I know full well that the miscarriage of a message may mean the lives of hundreds of men. The destroyer alongside us is signaling, but the Navy men are to quick for me – please God the others won't be. The sailors are very kind to us, I think they know what we are going to face – can see boat-loads of wounded being towed from the shore – shrapnel just burst over our heads, thank God no damage – getting nearer the shore, Turks pelting us like anything. The ships are keeping the top of the ridges under a continual line of fire – am just told that we have landed 20,000 men. We are transferring into the boats – it is raining lead – Turks firing wide.
Finally Ashore: It was relief to get ashore; we are packed so tightly in the boats and moreover so heavily laden with our kit that, had a shot hit the boat, we should have no chance of saving ourselves – it was awful the feeling of utter helplessness. Meanwhile the Turks pelted us hot and fast. In jumping ashore I fell over, my kit was so heavy; I couldn't get up without help – fortunately the water was shallow at this point, otherwise – . It was a magnificent spectacle to see those thousands of men rushing through the hail of Death as though it was some big game – these chaps don't seem to know what fear means – in Cairo I was ashamed of them, now I am proud to be one of them though I feel a pigmy beside them. Wish there wasn't quite such damned noise with the guns, it is sending me all to pieces – don't think I shall ever make a soldier. The beach is littered with wounded, some of them frightful spectacles; perchance myself I may at any moment be even as they are. Indians bringing ammunition mules along the beach – the scene of carnage worries them not all. It is commencing to get dark – we are now climbing the heights. I am given a pick to carry – half way up I had to drop it, it was too much for me. The lads on the top of the hill are glad to see us for they have been having an anxious time holding their position on the Ridge – 'Pope's Hill' – they had scarcely time to throw up more than a little earth to take cover behind. The noise now is Hell.
Into Action: Cannot find any Signallers of my Station – I will look for my Captain, Margolin, they are sure to be with him. There was no time to wait for orders; I must work on my own initiative – in any case the Captain will want a Signaller with him. Now some of the chaps are getting it – groans and screams everywhere, calls for ammunition and stretcher bearers, though how the latter are going to carry stretchers along such precipitous and sandy slopes beats me. Now commencing to take some of the dead out of the trenches; this is horrible; I wonder how long I can stand it. 'Signaller' – I just had to get a message to Headquarters – it had been raining a little, I found it almost impossible to keep my foothold, I kept slipping down all the way along. Colonel Pope seemed very worried and tired; have just heard that our Signal Lieutenant Wilton and Sergeant Major Emmett badly wounded in abdomen. Turks playing funny bugle calls all night long and yelling out, always in English. Bursts of fire from our men – officers doing all they can to stop it as we are getting short of ammunition – more bugling by Turks, makes me think of a Cairene descendanTs of marY Jones 497 Bazar; the idea of the bugles is supposed to impress us – the Turks would be vexed if they knew what we really thought. I have been running dispatches all night and in between endeavouring to make a dug-out – I couldn't lift the pick so had to use my trenching tool. Wonder what I am going to do for rations – I had to throw mine out, it was too heavy for me to carry. Feeling very weak and tired. . .
27 April: Still fighting furiously – now all signalers have been wiped out of A and B Companies except myself. Just had a shell each side of my dug-out – I felt in a real panic as it is a most horrible sensation. Our ships have missed the range and sent eleven shells into us in a minute; I do not think anyone has been hit – the Turks' trenches are so near ours that it is marvelous how accurately the ships find the range. For three days and nights I have been going without a stop occasionally having a go at my dug-out which, up to the present, is nothing more than a hole – the continual cry of 'Signaller' never seems to cease. While going up to the Captain's dug-out with a message from Headquarters I nearly got pipped by a machine-gun; fortunately one of the lads pulled me down into safety – I don't seem to feel it's any use worrying; if I'm to get hit nothing can stop it, and to keep dodging down into dug-outs gets on my nerves – I can't stand being cramped into small spaces. The Turks have now got hold of the names of our officers and keep giving messages purporting to emulate from said officers. All night long the Turks have been harassing us heavily – ever and anon 'Enemy advancing on the right,' 'Enemy advancing on the left' – all messages now have to be whispered along the line. There is a pale moon – any minute we are expecting the enemy to rush the trenches – we have no reserves.
Somehow, Cyril Lawrence also survived the mayhem and carnage of these opening days at Gallipoli. However, on 26 May his luck ran out and he was wounded, receiving a shrapnel wound to his right leg. He was evacuated to the No. 1 General Hospital in Heliopolis, Egypt. By 15 June he had recovered, was discharged, and rejoined his unit at the front. Just over a month later he was back in hospital with a bout of influenza that laid him up for two weeks. He rejoined his unit on 7 August, when it was in the midst of the Battle of Lone Pine.
The Australians suffered an estimated 2,277 casualties and the opposing Turkish forces between 5,000 and 6,000 killed or wounded during that battle. Two months after enduring the horrors of the Gallipoli landings, Cyril was still in the thick of it. Later, he would vent about the mismanagement of the campaign.
The New Sergeant
(Author's Website)
On 1 December 1915 he was promoted to the rank of 2nd corporal. This was initially a temporary promotion necessitated by the evacuation of 2nd Corporal Burns, who was sick, but he was confirmed in the rank on 12 January 1916. He rose rapidly after that, attaining the rank of corporal on 28 February 1916 and just over a year later, on 30 March 1917, sergeant. The Australian 1st Division left Gallipoli in December 1915. Sometime before his departure, Cyril made one of his most lyrical entries one evening:
He boarded the Grampian on about 21 March 1916 bound for France, disembarking at Marseilles a week later, on 28 March. On 28 May he was once again admitted to hospital and finally rejoined his unit on 17 August and within a few days was sent to England for training at the Royal Engineers Training Depot at Hitching in Hertfordshire. He would spend his 21st birthday there, and his training concluded on 21 March 1917 when he set off to rejoin his unit in France, arriving six days later. By this time the 1st Australian Division Signal Company was in Baizieaux, in the Somme region in the northwest of France.
By 7 April the unit had relocated to nearby Bancourt where it engaged in the never-ending task of maintaining the communications network, laying miles and miles of telephone cable to the ever-changing infantry and artillery frontline positions as they began to get the upper hand over the beleaguered German forces. Upon being promoted to sergeant on 30 March 1917, Cyril was assigned to the No. 1 Artillery subsection. It was during battle on 18 May 1917 that he was hit by an enemy shell, receiving a severe wound in the back. He was evacuated and treated at the 34th Casualty Clearing Station (CCS) situated in La Chapelette, near Peronne about 12 miles to the east of Amiens. Tragically, he died from his wounds just five days later, on 23 May 1917. In his last days he received a number of visits from the chaplain of the 34th CCS, Rev. John M. Forbes, who wrote to his mother, Mary, after Cyril's death. Cyril was buried at La Chapelette British Cemetery. His grave is located at Plot I, Row E, Grave No. 7.
Back home, Cyril's death was announced in The Argus:
LAWRENCE – Killed in action, somewhere in France, on the 23rd May, Sergeant Cyril Lawrence, dearly beloved eldest son of Mary and the late Harry Lawrence, "Selukwe", 20 Staley Street, Brunswick; loving brother of Jean (Mrs Reitschell), Nellie, Florrie, and Aubrie, after two years and 10 months service in Egypt, Gallipoli, and France, of the First Contingent, aged 21 years and 8 months; late of Harrietville. Another Anzac hero Called for higher service (Inserted by his loving mother, sisters, and brother)

The Saga of Submarine Turquoise
1913 Photo of Turquoise
The British-French Dardanelles submarine campaign lasted from April through December 1915. Nine British and four French submarines took part. Several Allied submarines were lost attempting to go up the strait into the Sea of Marmara and one was lost coming out. One French submarine, Turquoise, successfully penetrated the straits in early October but ran into serious trouble on 30 October when it ran aground near Nagara Point within range of Turkish shore batteries. Captured, her captain failed both to scuttle her and to destroy classified information aboard.
Turquoise Crew in Captivity, Bastille Day 1918
Included in the sensitive material onboard was material on a planned rendezvous of Turquoise with British submarine E-20 in the Sea of Marmara on 6 November. The Turks promptly passed that information to their German allies, and UB-14 waited submerged at the rendezvous point. When E-20 showed up on the surface, she was torpedoed and sunk by UB-14. Only nine of the crew survived. The entire crew of Turquoise survived and was held captive for the remainder of the war.
Müstecip Onbaşı
The boat, however, was moved to dry dock and quickly made available to the Ottoman Navy. Renamed Müstecip Onbaşı, the submarine served until Turkey's withdrawal from the war. It was officially returned to France in January 1919 and was eventually scrapped in Istanbul.

Pusher Aces of World War I
by Jon Guttman
Osprey Publishing, 2009
Dale Thompson, Reviewer
Farman MF11 Pilot and Observer Both Manning Machine Guns
Jon Guttman is well known for his treatment of WWI aviation history. In his latest, Pusher Aces of World War I, Guttman brings to life the history of the pusher aircraft and their pilots.
The pusher aircraft were so called because the propeller and engine were behind the wing, just like the Wright Fliers of ten years previously. They were deployed with the French and British squadrons at the start of the war, 1914. Initially they were used as observation and photo-reconnaissance platforms. What better place for the observer than out in front? As soon as the observers began shooting at each other it was found that the gunner did very well out in front; it was also found that these aircraft were highly vulnerable to attack from the rear.
The German aircraft in 1914 were all tractors, with the engine and propeller ahead of the pilot. At that time the British and French were developing their own tractor-type fighter aircraft that began to displace the pushers. With the arrival of the Fokker Eindeckers and their synchronized machine guns in 1915, the pushers were completely outclassed as fighters.
Pusher Aces traces the development and deployment of these aircraft, following their combat action and the pilots and gunners who flew them. This book will serve as a valuable source for historians who are studying either aircraft or combat crews during World War I. There is little detail on he developmental history of the various models built by Voisin, Farman, Vickers, de Havilland, and others. The book, though, features substantial detail about the crews and combat the pushers encountered.
Author Guttman's editors augmented this book with 24 superb color plates showing makes, models, and color schemes for the pushers. A fine collection of black-and-white photos is also distributed throughout the book. The appendix includes a table of the aces who flew these aircraft, tabulated by name, scores, aircraft type and serial number, and their squadrons. This listing should be of special interest to researchers. A bibliography is included in the appendix. Jon Guttman has contributed yet another valuable volume on WWI aircraft and pilots and their contributions in that war.

George Marshall Reflects on the Meuse-Argonne Offensive
Marshall at Ft. Benning
Former chief of operations for the U.S. First Army during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, Lt. Col George C. Marshall led the Army's Infantry School at Fort Benning during the post-World War I period from 1927 to 1932. In 1931, one of his former instructors, Capt. Lloyd Winters, then assigned to the 21st Infantry Regiment in Hawaii, wrote Marshall to ask for comments for a lecture he planned to deliver for on the Meuse-Argonne operation. Below is the response. I have underlined some points I found particularly striking
Critical reviews of the Meuse-Argonne operation are usually concerned with strategical and larger tactical aspects of the battle. The most instructive phases would seem to be those related to smaller affairs, matters of direction and method within the brigade, and especially in the battalion and the company. However, every lesson should be learned with a clear understanding of the special conditions under which the battle was fought—a tired and outnumbered enemy, unable to strike a heavy counter-blow but extraordinarily skillful in the employment of artillery and machine guns; our troops [were] strong and vigorous, but deficient in training and lacking that finesse of troop leadership which comes from experience.
To me, the following were the most instructive aspects of the battle:
The chaotic conditions which usually developed within a few hours of a formal "jump off". Troops could be lined up for a set assault and carried through the first phase in comparatively good order, but as the necessity for local decisions, maneuver, adjustments and cooperation developed the efforts became disorganized or confused to a remarkable degree, and only the courage and determination of the natural leaders enabled the troops to press on. Leaders understood how to deploy but seldom how to [re-de]ploy or regroup their scattered forces without bringing the action to a standstill. Fighting of this character will be normal to open warfare.
The inability of subordinate leaders to achieve a combination of fire and movement. Under the stress of battle headlong attacks were usually launched, and while often successful, heavy losses and disorganization usually robbed the unit of further striking power.
Inability of local leaders to approximate any idea of the situation beyond their immediate flanks. The misunderstandings and unfortunate results, due to the above reason, made tragic history over the entire battlefield. The strain of the fighting was so intense that the brain of leaders seemed a blank to all but the violent impressions of their immediate front.
The small part pure tactics played in the handling of most situations. Local decisions were usually dominated by reasons other than tactical,—fatigue, inability or unwillingness to alter existing dispositions, and response to orders to renew the attack by efforts straight to the front. Yet in our training we usually consider only the tactical problem.
Doughboys Advancing in the Argonne
The serious effect of poor arrangements to provide hot food to the fighting line. In the few divisions where the supply of hot food was rigorously required, the more so when the fighting was desperate, troops performed feats utterly beyond those who received cold food or went hungry. The former were able to remain "in the line" for much longer periods, to the great saving of the army reserves being collected to stage a renewed general assault. In prolonged fighting the delivery of food is as important as the maintenance of communications.
The small understanding of the practical proposition of maintaining morale. Few officers understood the fatal effect on their troops of a pessimistic attitude and of criticism of seniors. Where the opposite condition existed the troops often achieved the impossible. Their success was seldom due to tactics or technique, unless it was the technique of leadership. It might truthfully be said that in most instances the performance of the troops could be accurately measured by the mental attitude and bearing of the leaders. It was seldom that a determined, resourceful leader failed. It was seldom that a dispirited or disgruntled or critical leader succeeded. Courage was a common trait, but not fortitude and unquestioned loyalty.
In general, it has seemed to me that we discuss the battle in a large or ponderous fashion, ignoring those features which really determined the issue in the hundreds of local situations which made up the great operation. Unless we deal with the facts about these, the errors will all be repeated, and to a more serious degree in warfare of movement with an army taking the field in the first month of a war.

Krieg (War) by Käthe Kollwitz
The Sacrifice
Most readers are probably familiar with Käthe Kollwitz's dramatic Grieving Parents sculpture. (Article HERE.) After the Great War, however, her work shifted from sculpture to graphic art. One critic described her later work as featuring "strong arresting images with simple dignified subjects. The forms are deceptively simple. They reflect her single-mindedness yet belie the grueling struggle for technical perfection and clarity of expression which was involved in their perfection."
The Mothers
From the MOMA website:
In 1919, Käthe Kollwitz began work on Krieg (War), her response to the tragedies endured during what she called those "unspeakably difficult years" of World War I and its aftermath. The portfolio's seven woodcuts focus on the sorrows of those left behind—mothers, widows, and children. Kollwitz had struggled to find the appropriate means of expression until she saw an exhibition of Ernst Barlach's woodcuts in 1920. Revising each print through as many as nine preparatory drawings and states, Kollwitz radically simplified the compositions. The large-format, stark black-and-white woodcuts feature women left to face their grief and fears alone, with their partners, or with each other.
The Widow II
Only one print, Die Freiwilligen (The Volunteers), shows the combatants. In it, Kollwitz's younger son, Peter, who died in the war, takes his place next to Death, who leads the troops in an ecstatic procession to war. Kollwitz wanted these works to be widely viewed. By eliminating references to a specific time or place, she created universally legible indictments of the real sacrifices demanded in exchange for abstract concepts of honor and glory. The prints were exhibited in 1924 at the newly founded International Anti-War Museum in Berlin.

New Paired Memorials at Halifax and Passchendaele
I continue to learn of new WWI memorials that were dedicated as part of the recent Centennial commemorations. These two monuments below connect Halifax, Nova Scotia, from which 350,000 Canadian soldiers departed for the Western Front, and Flanders, where it is believed over half of the 67,000 Canadians who died in the war fell.

"OOPS," said the editor.
I regret to report a major goof on my part. Roads to the Great War's comments section was spam-bombed by someone who has a lot of free-time these days. In attempting to selectively remove dozens of malicious comments, I guess I got carried away with the delete button. I removed—forever apparently—all your comments posted between 6 April 2020 and yesterday. You can, of course, repost them if you are inclined to. Alas.
An American Airman Forsees His Death
I couldn't help thinking of Yeats's poem when I found this in an issue of Air and Space magazine.
Lt. Grider
(Replaced 22 May 2020)
John MacGavock Grider from Arkansas was one of 210 cadets who joined the aviation section of the U.S. Army Signal Corps shortly after the United States entered the war in 1917. Volunteers from the group were sent to England for training. In May 1918, Grider was assigned to Royal Flying Corps 85 Squadron, where he downed four enemy aircraft [fact challenged]. On 18 June he was killed in action. After his death, his letters were edited and published by his friend Elliott White Springs. "I can't write much these days," wrote Grider. "I'm too nervous. I can hardly hold a pen. I'm all right in the air, as calm as a cucumber, but on the ground, I'm a wreck and I get panicky. Nobody in the squadron can get a glass to his mouth with one hand after one of these patrols. Some nights we have nightmares. We don't sleep much."
By the time Grider wrote the following entry, he was already a man forever changed:
It's only a question of time until we all get it. I'm all shot to pieces. I only hope I can stick it out. I don't want to quit. My nerves are all gone, and I can't stop. I've lived beyond my time already. It's not the fear of death that's done it. It's this eternal flinching from it that's doing it, and has made a coward out of me. Few men live to know what real fear is. It's something that grows on you, day by day, that eats into your constitution and undermines your sanity. I have never been serious about anything in my life, and now I know that I'll never be otherwise again. Here I am, twenty four years old. I look forty and feel ninety. I've lost all interest in life beyond the next patrol.
A few days later, Grider was shot down 20 miles behind German lines. He was given a decent burial by the Germans, and his grave was later found by the Red Cross. Death must have come as a relief to him.
[Ed. note: Contrary to this article, John Grider is listed on the Tablet of the Missing at the American Flanders Field Cemetery.]
[Ed. note2: In the comments section below, you will see a reader has challenged the facts behind this article, most importantly, whether Lt. Grider was actually the author of the diary entry that forms the substance of the posting. I will be contacting the author of the original source material [for me], a 2018 article published in Air and Space Magazine to get his view. Our commentator cites the author of Warbirds, Elliot White Springs, as the true originator of the diary entry. My understanding, however, is that Springs drew heavily on the diary of Grider and eventually conceded this at the behest of Grider's family. The commentator was correct, however, about the photo of Lt. Grider, which I have replaced above.

The Secret of the Paris Gun
The Paris Gun Test Firing
During my Bat Soup Plague incarceration, my better half issued orders for me to commence de-cluttering my office forthwith. Unable to evade the mission, I soon found myself looking through my back issues of Military History Quarterly, and I re-discovered this interesting entry from Major General David Zabecki. He rather concisely reveals the secret to the Krupp-built Paris Gun's phenomenal 78-mile range (theoretically 81 miles according to the Encyclopedia Astronautica).
Designed by Krupp's Professor Fritz Rausenberger, the officially designated Wilhelmgeschütz (Kaiser Wilhelm Gun) was one of the most remarkable artillery pieces ever built. Its maximum range of 126,000 meters far exceeded that of any gun built before. Or since. The Germans used three of them against Paris between March and July 1918, earning them the name Paris Guns. Very few conventional artillery pieces fired in war have been able to achieve even half their range.
The Paris Gun was constructed by inserting a 210mm liner tube into a bored-out 380mm naval gun barrel. The liner extended some 39 feet beyond the muzzle of the base barrel. A 19-foot smooth-bore extension was then added to the front of the extended liner, giving the composite barrel a length of 130 feet. The entire composite barrel required an external truss system to keep it straight.
Virtually all artillery pieces achieve their maximum range when the barrel is elevated to an angle of 45 degrees. Anything over 45 degrees is classified as high-angle fire, and as the elevation increases the range decreases. The Paris Gun, however, appeared to defy the normal laws of ballistics by achieving its maximum range at an elevation of 50 degrees. The reason was that at 50 degrees the round from the Paris Gun went significantly higher into the stratosphere than at a 45-degree elevation. The reduced air density at the higher altitudes caused far less drag on the body of the projectile, which resulted in the greater horizontal range.

What to watch today: 5 best shows and movies on Alt Balaji, Apple TV+ and Netflix
Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Defending Jacob and other shows and movies to watch today
Bulbbul is streaming on Netflix
We all have our weeks packed and often get just the weekends to sit back and relax. But if you (like me) have a rather clearer schedule, then binge-watching some of these shows and movies is a great way to spend time. Here are five shows and movies on Alt Balaji, Apple TV+ and Netflix:
5 best shows and movies on Alt Balaji, Apple TV+ and Netflix
1. Scott Pilgrim vs The World – Netflix
Michael Cera is Scott Pilgrim as he is on a quest to defeat Ramona's — his newfound lover — seven exes. Shot like a video game, this film is an absolute laugh riot and will definitely distract you from all the realities. The movie also stars Elizabeth Winstead and Keiran Culkin along with a lot of big names like Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza and Brie Larson in cameo appearances.
2. Apharan – Alt Balaji
Apharan is streaming on Alt Balaji
Set in the glorious 1970s, Apharan is set amongst the foothills of the Hilmalayas in Uttarakhand where a senior inspector is lured into kidnapping a young girl at her mother's behest. While this was supposed to be a simple extortion attempt in exchange for the girl, things get complicated really quickly. The show is a nice blend of thrill, crime, suspense and even comedy and can make for a great watch. Apharan stars Arunoday Singh and Mahie Gill in lead roles.
3. Sex Education – Netflix
A still from Sex Education on Netflix
How can a show excel every time they release a new season? Sex Education is doing just that. On the surface, it may be a raunchy teen sex comedy about high school students of Moordale High, but the show has evolved into something way more meaningful and poignant. The writing of the show has been heartfelt and with a soundtrack that hits the nail every single time, this series is definitely one of my favourites out there. It stars Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa and Gillian Andersen in the lead.
4. Defending Jacob – Apple TV+
The series is based on a book of the same name where a couple is trying their best to prove their 14-year-old son's innocence. Defending Jacob was one of the earliest high-profile releases on the platform and the miniseries truly holds its ground and isn't weighed down by its expectations. Starring Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery as the parents, the show has some really good performances to keep you interested and is a show we recommend today.
5. Bulbbul – Netflix
Bulbbul is a story that plays into the stigma and regressive practices that are still prevalent in India and turns that into a revenge saga. A child bride who grows into an enigmatic woman ruling over her household, Bulbbul is hiding something from her painful pasts and it's all about how she takes revenge on the men of her village. Bulbbul stars Tripti Dimri, Rahul Bose, Paoli Dam and Avinash Tiwary in lead roles.
Featuring: Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Gillian Anderson, Kedar Williams-Stirling
Platform: Netflix
Defending Jacob
Featuring: Chris Evans, Jaeden Martell, Michelle Dockery
Platform: Apple TV+

Q: Wordpress - passing a php object to a new page I am creating a custom ordering site built using Wordpress. I've created an object-oriented plugin to store all the order details. (product specs, contact information, various options, etc)  The ordering process spans three pages. What is the best way for me to pass the object from one page to the next that is the most widely browser friendly? JSON encoding? Serialization?  $_SESSION variable? Wordpress does not allow this natively, but I found instructions on how to override this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A: I would recommend storing data in different indexes of $_SESSION, so the information will remain persistent across pages.
Because you aren't implementing a feature like search, $_SESSION is good choice because users may switch between ordering products and visiting other pages on your site. Additionally, this method does not depend on browser features.

If we see cold lonely nights for what they really are, we can better prevent them and apprehend them. Here are a few tips to help you stay focused and happy this season.
1. Fast from social media for the evening: It can be a blow to one's esteem to go on social media and stay on there for a long time living vicariously through others. This person is going out, that person it doing something, but what are you doing? If you're choosing to stay in, that's great; now turn off your social media accounts and notifications. Try a social media fast and forgo spending your night viewing from the sidelines what other people are doing. Rest your mind and keep your focus off of the need to go out to feel wanted or for attention. Take this time off to rest and recharge yourself.
2. Get productive in your purpose: Listen, we are not going to go out every weekend—it's a killjoy for our budget and personal goals. You may be sitting on your purpose but you choose to make busyness your date instead of your purpose. You can turn those cold lonely nights into evenings strategically mapping out your dreams. Invest in some books to help you either identify your purpose in God or help you make your business ideas into a business in line with your purpose. Either way, you can utilize this critical window of opportunity in your single season to develop the foundation for your future. You'll be so focused on the productivity that you won't have time to entertain cold lonely nights.
3. Go out and try something new: The new season calls for new and traditional activities that you can try. Call up some friends or invite a couple of coworkers to fellowship at a positive event. You can do painting classes, see a movie or play, go to festivals, etc. Just because you're single doesn't mean you can't treat yourself to a nice night out either. Take yourself out on a date and enjoy your evening and have fun. Cold lonely nights want you to believe that your life is less exciting and fulfilling because you don't have someone, but it's not true. Your life is as fulfilling as you are willing to be open to new things that will benefit you and your personal growth.
4. Get in contact with your support system: Sometimes we get hit bad with the symptoms of cold lonely nights to the point of tears, or worse—reaching out to that ex or random for attention and validation. Before you attempt to do any of that, get in contact with your support system. This could mean getting into prayer mode with just you and the Lord, or calling up/inviting over your close friends to help pray for/with you as you go through this battle.
Loneliness is a lie from the enemy. The Bible tells us throughout it that we are not alone, and thus don't have to succumb to feeling lonely. Ask God to take the spirit of heaviness off of you and get the joy He has for you instead. The joy and peace of God is so great, it could very well warm you up. If you feel lonely, don't be afraid to reach out to someone who can support you spiritually, but not physically in the inappropriate sense. Far too often, Cold Lonely Nights cause singles to enter bad relationships, situationships, or other destructive behaviors that can harm you in the long run more than help you for a small moment. Don't settle for hooking up, you deserve more than that.

Adriana Molder (Lisboa, 1975) es una artista y pintora portuguesa, residente en Berlín.

Trayectoria
Molder nació en Lisboa en 1975. Molder estudió en la Escuela Superior de Teatro y Cine, en Amadora, Lisboa y llegó a trabajar como diseñadora de escenario.

Su trabajo de diseño y pintura está inspirado en el cine, para lo que utiliza imágenes ya existentes, y en la literatura, para lo que se inspira en cuentos y romances. Se centra sobre todo en el retrato, con tintes sombríos, fantasmagóricos y dramáticos, que evocan películas en blanco y negro, captados en momentos clave y en ocasiones marcados con tonos fuertes de rojo sanguíneo. En la creación de esos retratos encuentra inspiración en personajes de novelas, como la portuguesa del siglo XIX La dama de cabra  o en la Casa embrujada de Virginia Woolf.

Comenzó a exhibir su obra en el año 2002, que forman parte de colecciones públicas y privadas en el Museu Coleção Berardo, la Colección António Cachola o la Fundação EDP en Portugal, así como en otros países como España o Alemania. En julio de 2012, Molder presentó nuevos trabajos en "A Dama Pé-de-Cabra", idea suya inspirada en la narrativa histórica de Alexandre Herculano, en una exposición junto con Paula Rego, inaugurada finalmente el 7 de julio.

Es hija de la filósofa portuguesa Maria Filomena Molder y del fotógrafo y escritor portugués Jorge Molder, y hermana de la cantante Catarina Molder. También nieta de August Molder, fundador de la histórica filatelia A Molder de Lisboa, que la artista recuperó en noviembre de 2020 como galería.

En 2003 recibió el premio revelación CELPA/ Vieira da Silva Artes Plásticas y en 2007 fue reconocida con el Premio Joven Artista Herbert Zapp Preis für Junge Kunst.

SIXTH AND EIGHTH ROW FOR THE APRILIAS
MOTOGP IN BRNO AFTER THE SUMMER BREAK
APRILIA RACING - CZECH GP
DIFFICULT WEATHER TO INTERPRET MAKES THE QUALIFIERS EVEN MORE COMPLICATED FOR ALEIX AND ANDREA
The Aprilia RS-GP machines, performing better and better in races and qualifying, faced a further stumbling block in the Moravian weather. The rain that fell ahead of FP3 quashed any chances Aleix and Andrea may have had of attempting an assault on top-ten positions which would have sent them straight through to Q2. The times, inevitably higher for everyone, froze the positions where they were at the end of qualifying practice on Friday.
Even the Q1 session was held in wet track conditions and, although the lines gradually dried out, it was not enough to avoid using rain tyres. In these conditions, Aleix finished the session in eight place (at 2'06.284) which places him on the eighteenth spot, and therefore the sixth row, of the starting grid tomorrow. Andrea stopped the clock at 2'07.923, which translates into the 23rd place time and the eighth row on the grid.
"The conditions today were difficult and I was unable to find the right feeling in the wet. The track changed constantly. Fortunately, tomorrow we'll be racing in the dry, where I hope to be at a good level. It will be a long race, since we did not have many sessions available to work in. We'll need to manage tyre wear in the second half. This is a disadvantage for us. I'll start aggressively straight away and try to recover as many positions as possible."
"It was a difficult day and tomorrow will be hard, but we need to keep looking forward and working hard. Of course, the conditions in both FP3 and in qualifying did not help us. Even a situation of full-on rain would have been much better, but the truth is that we need to improve, believe and give it our all, already as early as tomorrow in the race."

How COVID-19 has changed America's exercise habits
Performance Psychologist, running coach, and author of the book 'The Brave Athlete' Dr. Simon Marshall, joined Yahoo Finance Live to discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed America's exercise habits.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
SEANA SMITH: Fitness app Strava releasing its global figures. A brand-new report out for 2020 showing the impact that the pandemic has had on competition and also the impact that it's had on activity.
We want to bring in Dr. Simon Marshall. He's a performance psychologist and professor of behavioral medicine. He's a running coach and author of the book "The Brave Athlete." Very, very busy man. Dr. Marshall, thanks for taking the time to join us today.
Strava has, I was reading, 73 million users. So you really have a pulse on what's going on with people, and it's worldwide, so across the globe. What kind of impact has COVID had on how people are exercising and how they're competing over the last year?
SIMON MARSHALL: Yeah, Jen, this is absolutely true. I mean, the pandemic has disrupted virtually every aspect of our life, and exercise and activity habits are no exception to that. I mean, despite parks closing and facilities closing, I think the global athlete community has spoken-- well, not spoken. Probably pedalled, run, and walked its way to tell us that they don't just want to exercise but they need to exercise.
And so we've seen these trends, quite remarkable trends of increases in swimming and running or outdoor activities in general go through the roof compared to 2019. And so the trends are on the up.
Obviously the downside of this is the reasons why that is, but I think that the overall trend is that exercise seems to have doubled, in many instances, and in some cases it's trebled compared to last year.
JEN ROGERS: So when I was looking at the charts-- and we have one up. Look, when the-- it's different by different countries, but let's just talk about the US. A lot of people started exercising when we were all locked down. But I have to say, it's also fallen off, hasn't it? Like, are we at-- is it just me? I mean, I feel like I'm not exercising at the same level, and I look at the charts, and I see, like, people aren't exercising at the same level. So have we kind of, like, fallen off the path here?
SIMON MARSHALL: Yeah, that's an astute observation. And so what we know, for example, in some of the habit-formation research literature is that there seems to be a sort of a window, and we all know this every year because many of us set New Year's resolutions. And after sort of the middle of February, most of us are back to square one.
And so there seems to be about, particularly when it comes to exercise, this sort of eight-week window whereby we initially get-- we set these rather large, big, audacious goals, and then we kind of slowly gravitate or regress back to those old levels.
But the interesting feature, especially for during the pandemic year, is that those levels aren't going back to levels that we saw in 2019. So exercise habits across the board are up, have stayed elevated, even though we still see some of these short-term declines after sort of six to eight weeks or so.
SEANA SMITH: When you take a look at the activity, it's interesting because activity increased year over year, but it was led by women worldwide. What do you attribute this to?
SIMON MARSHALL: Yeah, I think this is-- you know, on the one hand, it's something to really celebrate. It's the year of exercise, and women are really leading this charge, you know, far more. So, for example, when we take many of the popular forms of exercise like walking and running, women's increases have been almost 50%, 45%, where men have increased for about 25% to 30%.
The interesting question is why that is? And, of course, we know that we do have a little bit more discretionary time, and there might be more time for exercise generally. But perhaps a more worrying trend might be the reasons why, and we know that women have shared a disproportionate burden of some of the mental-health toll that the pandemic has taken and especially because the maternal workforce has been on the decline.
And when you realize that about 70% of parents who have kids under five years of age have had childcare services close and then the burden of childcare responsibility largely falls or has historically fallen-- statistically it has on women.
And so this might be, yes, that's something to celebrate but also sort of a note to say that women are struggling to cope with the stress of that. And as we know, exercise-- and some of the trends in the Strava data tell us that exercise seems to be more therapeutic than in previous years. So if anything, it's that 2020 has been the year of exercise as medicine, that it's having a therapeutic benefit to help us cope with stress and manage all that uncertainty, anxiety that's so common.
JEN ROGERS: 20 seconds left here. We're an investing show. Can you tell us anything about Peloton from this data because it was a huge stock this year. Anything?
SIMON MARSHALL: Well, not [INAUDIBLE] Peloton, but probably exercising indoors generally. We know that the research supports outdoor exercise is far more beneficial to your health. There are lots of reasons why that is. Neuroscience has showed us that areas of the brain are activated when you exercise outdoors compared to indoors that help reduce rumination and worry-- the way our eyes track across the horizon versus when we're focused on a screen.
So there are reasons to be optimistic about getting people outdoors, and the Strava data really show that, that when, as soon as lockdowns ended and exercise indoors went up, people immediately tried to get outdoors and started exercising.

The recent episode of drunk driving that seriously injured two of Winona's outstanding coaches and citizens was an avoidable tragedy. Some have argued that the reporting, with photos of the teenaged driver, has been excessively embarrassing to the young woman. However, the initial WDN article says that the teen "was drinking cocktails at a residence on Sarnia Street before the accident."
Where is this residence on Sarnia Street? What parents were careless in allowing the young lady to drink at their home and then leave their residence driving a motor vehicle? Why hasn't this been reported? Shouldn't the adults involved share at least some of the embarrassment?


Last year in Europe, more than 150 enterprises that were on the verge of being closed down, because no transfer plan or heir was found, have been successfully transferred to their employees under the form of a cooperative saving jobs and skills at the same time. CECOP – CICOPA Europe, the European Confederation of Cooperatives in Industry and Services has analyzed this model with a wide range of actors concerned by business transfers in the framework of the conference "Sustainable business transfers in Europe, with a specific focus on business transfers to employees" held at the European and Social Committee in Brussels.
France, Italy and Spain are the countries where the biggest amount of successful business transfers can be found, whereas more isolated cases exist in the UK and Finland. It appears that certain factors explaining why business transfers to employees are more successful in some countries than others, such as; an adequate legal framework protecting and promoting worker cooperative enterprises, a high level of organisation and consolidation of worker cooperatives in federations and policy measures facilitating business transfers to employees.
In Spain 75 enterprises were transformed into cooperatives in 2012 according to the Spanish Confederation of Worker Cooperatives, COCETA. "A model that at the same time generates local wealth and allows employees to decide the direction of their life and the life of their enterprise", the Director of COCETA, Paloma Arroyo underlined. She gave the example of the Spanish cooperative Sherlimp, active in textile cleaning, created 30 years ago through a worker buy-out.
The European Commission has estimated that around 150,000 enterprises employing around 600,000 persons may be lost over the next few years, if no transfer plan or heir is found for them. In line with this, CECOP-CICOPA Europe has published a document presenting the opportunities and challenges for successful business transfers in Europe.
"This is the appropriate moment for the EU to consider examples of saving enterprises, jobs and skills" has indicated the Secretary General of CECOP- CICOPA Europe, Bruno Roelants.


Mission Hospital was formed when St. Joseph's Hospital and Memorial Mission Medical Center started an organizational partnership in 1996. This partnership was followed by a full merger on October 27, 1998, when St. Joseph's Hospital was purchased from the Sisters of Mercy by Memorial Mission Medical Center. Today these hospitals are part of the Mission Health.

Bell's Smitten Beer-entines spread a little extra love.
Black Lab Five helped Bell's spread the love in February with six custom Beer-entines for Smitten Golden Rye Ale. Bell's took this concept to the next level by offering to mail one to your special someone. For free. The response was tremendous. We were happy to play a part in spreading the #CraftBeerLove.

Q: Where do I locate theme image files I have a webpage built by another company years ago. The header has a long image above it. I need to edit the image and replace it. I have been searching for 2 days, I cannot find where that image is stored on my wordpress dashboard. It is not in my Media>Library. I do not see where it could be Themes>Editor. Any tips please?
I have located the image address using Dev Tool, but I cant figure out how to access it. http://www.topnotchgaragedoor.com/wp-content/themes/topnotch/images/header.jpg

A: Learn to use the developer tools in your browser; see Firefox or Chrome or Safari or IE to look at the rendered browser source to locate the URL for the image. The image could be loading from a third party, the theme folder, etc.
Using dev tools is more reliable than simply viewing browser source, as the image could be loading via ajax from the theme folder or a third party and that won't show up in static page source.
Another way to find code and links in site is to use a text editor that can search all the contents of a folder of files; that way, you can search the entire theme folder for links and code, unlike the theme editor in the Wordpress back end, which only allows you to look at files one at a time.


The ministry of the Children's Fresh Air Farm continues to grow. In November, the first year round program called LIFT OFF to Learning launched for Hayes K-8 students. A new classroom was added on the property to expand the Summer Learning Program to include sixth grade students. A garden group is also overseeing the grounds and ensuring the gardens and chapel are ready to receive students and other groups. Learn more about the exciting things happening on the Farm during morning worship.


You have been hired to clean that mess!
Be carefull, there are maybe some alien hidden on site.
You have to clean all the blood before the teleporter activates to the next level.
It looks like they managed to destroy and push some walls changing the infrastructure of the buildings.
If some blood stains can't be cleaned because of this, you can press 'R' to be teleported to another similar location.
Nice job! I like the concept, and it's really nicely scoped for a jam-sized game. It's nicely polished visually too.


If you are collecting LTD benefits and you then apply for SSI (Supplemental Security Income), there is a good chance that your SSI benefits will be offset partially or completely by your LTD benefits. SSI is a welfare program and except for a few limited exceptions, other sources of personal or household income can result in an offset. Usually your LTD benefits will be higher than your possible SSI recovery but it is unlikely that you will be able to collect both, or collect a lump sum past due benefit from SSI. Your LTD plan administrator and/or your Social Security attorney should be able to offer specific advice about your situation.
Usually, LTD benefits will not offset SSDI. This is because SSDI does not offset other sources of non-employment income. However, many LTD policies – especially group policies – provide that your LTD benefit will be reduced, dollar for dollar, by whatever SSDI benefit you receive. In other words, if your LTD benefit is $1,500 per month and your SSDI benefit is $1,800 per month, your LTD carrier will send you only $300 per month once your SSDI is approved rather than the $1,500 you had been receiving previously.
Further – and this is a nasty surprise for many LTD recipients – many LTD policies provide that you have to repay the LTD carrier any past due SSDI benefit you receive. Several years ago I spoke to an LTD underwriter about this and his point was that LTD premiums are priced with the assumption that most LTD claimants will also file for Social Security disability. Since a past due (lump sum) benefit represents monthly payments from previous months, the LTD carrier is merely recovering that to which is it contractually entitled.
Generally LTD carriers do not ask you to pay your attorney's fees (the contingency fee that Social Security lawyers like me charge is a percentage of past due benefits), so you won't be asked to pay back money that you never received. However, if you are not expecting this demand for repayment, it can be very upsetting to receive a check for $30,000 representing past due benefits, then a letter two days later from an insurance company asking you to mail them this check.
Some individual (not group) LTD policies do not have an SSDI reimbursement clause. You should read your policy and speak to your plan administrator if you have questions about this.

15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.8 [ — self-appointed ministers posing as authorized by Christ who solicit your money and Lord it over you. Christendom's ministers are the false prophets Jesus warns about. Deceiving billions, they promise heaven to anyone who believes, ignoring salvation's stated exclusions, requirements, and qualifying conditions. When you see how Christendom is nothing but Babylon, you will be both sad and angry: Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination, 'Hear the word of the LORD,' Because they have seduced my people saying, 'Peace!' when there is no peace... you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad, and have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not return from his wicked way, by (falsely) promising him life. Eze 13:2,10,22.]
14 Leave them alone and disregard them; they are blind guides and teachers.4 And if a blind man leads a blind man, they both will fall into a ditch." [The ministers of Christianity are the blind guides the Lord warned us about, not taught by the Lord's voice and light, not perfected by the Lord, not gifted with an authorized ministry, not sent by the Lord, and not speaking words from the Spirit of the Lord; rather, they speak from their carnal minds, the nature of death, and preach their vain opinions from the imagination of their evil hearts. In Christianity today there are millions of blind-guide preachers and blind-guide teachers in the ditch, along with their billions of captive followers, whom they have led into the ditch; the blind guides' lies have been preached by so many for so long, their lies have become pervasive in all of Christianity. By fair speaking and captivating language they deceive the hearts of the simple. Rom 16:18. They are self-appointed, unperfected, ministers posing as authorized by Christ who solicit your money and lord it over you; they are wolves in sheep's clothing, promising liberty when they themselves are slaves of corruption. From the Word of the Lord within: "Just like Judaism was taken over by the enemy, so has Christianity, which is corrupt through and through. There is no church in the world that Christ set up specifically. I work with the blind; but if you think you can see, and you are not with me in heaven, I will make you a laughingstock."]
11 Many false prophets will rise, and will deceive many.1 [Jesus said the false prophets in sheep's clothing would come. John said the antichrists and false apostles had come and had gone out from among them. Peter saw the false teachers had come. Paul saw the false apostles had come, and warned the brothers night and day for three years of more coming. And in Revelation, John saw where the whole world was to go after the false prophets and the false church, which occurred shortly afterwards. The false church is Revelation's whore of Babylon, riding the beast of many names, (41,000 sects in Christendom), with horns like a lamb [resembles the true church], but who speaks like a dragon, (men speaking from their carnal minds, which is enmity against God, and their vain opinions from their evil imaginations), instead of speaking words supplied by the Holy Spirit, as Jesus and the Apostles did.]
24 For there will arise false Christs and prophets, and will show great signs and wonders; so much that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect.3 [The false church of Babylon shows great signs and wonders, to convince those who have not been taught by revelation in their hearts by the Spirit of God as to what is the true gospel, the true hope, love vs. lust, sin vs. righteousness, turmoil vs. peace, humility vs. pride, good vs. evil, light vs. darkness, bitter vs. sweet. Since the elect have been taught by the Spirit in revelations, they see past the miracles of the false church and the false prophets; which false prophets live in, and excuse, life-long sin. Although Babylon's false prophets are very difficult to discern, the elect are not deceived.]
22 For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and show signs and wonders, to seduce even the elect, if it were possible.3 [Jesus said the false prophets in sheep's clothing would come. John said the antichrists and false apostles had come and had gone out from among them. Peter saw the false teachers had come. Paul saw the false apostles had come, and warned the brothers night and day for three years of more coming. And in Revelation, John saw where the whole world was to go after the false prophets and the false church, which occurred shortly afterwards. The false church is Revelation's whore of Babylon, riding the beast of many names, (41,000 sects in Christendom), with horns like a lamb [resembles the true church], but who speaks like a dragon, (men speaking from their carnal minds, which is enmity with God, and their vain opinions from their evil imaginations), instead of speaking words supplied by the Holy Spirit, as Jesus and the Apostles did.]
39 Then he spoke a parable to them, "Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into a ditch? [How do we know who is blind? The next verses tells us that a blind guide is someone who has not been perfected; who therefore cannot see to take the spec out of his brother's eye, and evil comes from his mouth. From the Word of the Lord within: "There are millions of blind guide preachers. They have taken the Bible and made it an unholy thing used to justify their immersion in sin. Outside the faith, they are teaching an equilibrium between good and evil."]
40 The disciple is not above his master, but everyone who is perfect [purified, restored to the spiritual image of God, specifically authorized, and perfected] will be like his master. [To preach or teach with authorization, your evil heart must first be cleansed, purified, and perfected so you can hear from God every word to be spoken and see every deed to be done. If you are following an unperfected minister, you have been led into the ditch. Unperfected ministers seek their own glory and your money. Jesus told us to leave the unperfected, thus blind guides, which blindness he further discusses in the next verses.]
8 And he said, "Take heed that you are not deceived; for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am He,' and 'The time draws near.' Do not follow them.1
