Early Visit Patterns of 2018 Republican Gubernatorial Candidates
An Analysis of the GOP Gubernatorial Candidates' Visits
Early Visit Patterns of 2018 Republican Gubernatorial Candidates:
Florida's 2018 race for governor has been labeled one of the top gubernatorial races in the country—and a toss-up. [1] The race has started early [2], primarily because for the first time in decades, both Democrats and Republicans have highly competitive primaries. Geographically, Florida is a big state to traverse, yet leaders of both parties have committed to a stronger grassroots-centric campaign than characterized the 2016 presidential election. [3] The primary is August 28.
The last SayfieReview column we posted analyzed the personal appearance patterns of the four leading Democratic candidates for governor through February 25—Andrew Gillum, Gwen Graham, Philip Levine, Chris King (see Sayfie Review Archives, March 14). This column analyzes the in-person visits (through March 21) of the two leading GOP candidates who have formally filed to run for governor—Adam Putnam and Ron DeSantis. [4] Putnam officially filed on May 2, 2017; DeSantis officially announced on January 29, 2018, unofficially on January 5 on Fox News Channel's early morning show, Fox and Friends.
Although the dynamics of the two-candidate GOP primary race differ from those of the four-candidate Democratic contest, there is one striking similarity. In each party's primary battle, at least one candidate has taken a less traditional approach, relying more on media-based "in-person" appearances than on actual in-person appearances that allow more direct contact with potential supporters. These differences in voter outreach strategies reflect divergent calculations as to which approach will yield the highest turnout rate among supporters in what is usually a low turnout primary, especially in a mid-term election year. (See Figure 1.)
Presidential Midterm
The Republicans
Both the Republican candidates currently hold elective offices. Adam Putnam, 43, the current statewide-elected Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is the best known and the closest to being labeled an "insider." The most recent entrant (Ron DeSantis, 39) has primarily campaigned via appearances on Fox News Channel, where he is a frequent guest and staunch defender of President Donald Trump. Despite being a current member of Congress, he has proclaimed himself the "outsider" candidate, trying to draw a parallel to President Trump, who endorsed him via a Tweet. [5]
Yet to enter the race is Richard Corcoran, 53, the current Speaker of the House, who has little name recognition statewide. Although he has not formally announced, it is well known that he has been quietly attending local county party meetings for months since telling the Tampa Bay Times in May 2017 that he wouldn't decide until 2018 on whether to run. He is not included in this analysis but is widely expected to run to the right of DeSantis, splitting the conservative Republican vote. DeSantis's vote will likely be interpreted as a measure of Trump's strength in Florida.
Who are Florida's Registered Republicans?
There were 4.6 million voters registered with the Republican Party of Florida as of January 2018. Registered Republicans are older and less racially/ethnically diverse than Florida's registered Democrats. (See the previous column for comparable data for registered Democrats.)
Fully 83.4% of Florida's registered Republicans are non-Hispanic white. Another 11.4% are Hispanic. Relatively few Florida Republicans are black (1.3%), Asian or Pacific Islander (1.4%), or some other race (2.6%).
Among Florida's registered Republicans, women slightly outnumber men (50.1% vs. 48.5%). [6]
Florida's registered Republicans heavily skew older: 63% are age 50 or older. Among those, a third (33.6%) are age 64 or older. Fewer are ages 30 to 49 (25.1%) or younger (12.0%).
Nearly half (46%) of Florida's registered Republicans reside in the I-4 Corridor, the area across the center of the state that is made of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Sarasota and Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne media markets. (See Figure 2.) Less than a quarter of the state's registered Republicans (23.8%) live in southeast Florida, [7] although it is the most populous region of the state.

Republicans' Targeted Voters
Florida's Republican gubernatorial candidates are again counting on a higher Republican than Democratic voter turnout rate in the midterm general election. However, they also are quite aware that in party primary elections, not all Republican blocs of voters turn out at the same rate. Obviously, some blocs (rural and older voters) consistently turn out, while others are more sporadic. Turnout of sporadic voters is often a product of how well a candidate connects with them.
As with Democrats, the challenge for Republican candidates is to craft a winning "coalition" of supporters by engaging them personally on high priority issues via candidate appearances. In the 2018 election cycle, Republicans are targeting:
Rural voters (high turnout; conservative).
Older voters (super voters).
Hispanics, including newly-arrived Puerto Ricans without strong party attachment.
Suburban voters, especially women; families.
Gun owners.
Conservative religious communities.
Agriculture communities.
Working-class whites.
The best indicators of salient issues for Republicans can be gleaned from issues that dominated the 2018 state legislative session ending March 9, 2018:
Economy (jobs; taxes).
Education (school choice; vocational education; higher education).
Government regulation and permitting; land conservation.
Protection of constitutional liberties (Second Amendment).
Drugs (opioids; crime rates).
Immigration & border security.
Religious freedom/abortion.
Invasive species affecting agriculture (citrus) and environment (The Everglades).
Location of Visits (TV Media Markets)
Comparisons of Putnam and DeSantis's in-person visit location patterns are not very meaningful at this time. DeSantis' later entry into the contest and his clear decision to rely more on free media (TV) rather than in-person appearances is somewhat parallel to Democratic candidate Philip Levine's early strategy, although Levine has relied more on paid TV ads. [9]
It is important to note that of all the gubernatorial candidates to date (Republican and Democrat), only Putnam has won a statewide election. He has won two (2010 and 2014), both for Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs—a State Cabinet post.
Among all the candidates (Democratic and Republican), Putnam has made the most appearances (144) [8] and been the most methodical in his visits strategy. (See Table 1.) He is the only candidate that has made appearances in all 10 media markets. His experience running statewide no doubt explains his heavy emphasis on the I-4 Corridor. In fact, 49% of his appearances have been in the Tampa and Orlando media markets. His formal announcement was in his home county (Polk)—located in the Tampa media market.
Interestingly, DeSantis (from Jacksonville) made his formal announcement in southeast Florida (Boca Raton) and gave a speech at a Statesman of the Year event in Palm Beach County—intentionally promoting his strong connection to Trump whose Mar-A-Lago resort is located there. His traditional in-person visits have been limited (7 compared to Putnam's 144):

Notes: Purple markets together comprise the famous I-4 Corridor—the most competitive part of the state.
*Total does not add to 100% due to rounding.
Source: Calculated by authors; from date of formal announcement to March 21, 2018.
"Mr. Consistency" Adam Putnam has scheduled appearances in every month since he announced his candidacy in May 2017. (See Table 2.) DeSantis' visits began in January 2018—too soon to get much of a gauge of his in-person visits strategy, but soon enough to see he is choosing a more cable TV-based approach.
A flurry of Putnam's visits (his signature "Up & Adam" breakfasts) followed his formal entry into the race. September's Hurricane Irma saw him giving many appearances in his role as Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Following Irma, he resumed his popular breakfast events. Visits dipped slightly during the December holiday season. Since then, he has stepped up the pace, making more speeches, many aimed at key constituency groups in rural and suburban areas.
Table 2. Timing of Visits: Republicans
Candidates can and do choose to appear at a variety of events, each aimed at generating support from key constituencies. Examples of the typical types of events at which Florida GOP candidates commonly appear are listed below:
Party organization: regional or county Republican groups; annual statewide meetings; Young Republicans, College Republicans.
Fundraisers: private residences and country clubs.
Town hall/forum: community groups; roundtable discussions—Puerto Ricans, opioid epidemic.
Rally/March/Tour: bus tours.
Meals w/supporters: breakfasts, luncheons, dinners with local community groups.
Volunteer/Tour business; pre-and-post Irma; tours of small businesses.
Announcement/speech/appearance: candidacy announcement; speeches at high schools and colleges, formal dinner events, and conferences; appearances at events (no speech on record).
Meeting with professionals: small businesses; agriculture and citrus industry groups.
Community event: picnics, holiday parades, festivals (Wausau Possum Festival).
Reflective of these candidates' very different approaches, we have added two additional types of events:
Other: Putnam's official visits as Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Live appearance on major cable network: DeSantis on Fox News Channel.
Putnam and DeSantis have both focused far less on party organization events, town halls/forums, or rallies/marches than their Democratic counterparts. However, in examining their events choices (see Table 3), it is clear these two leading Republican contenders are clearly pursuing dramatically different portions of the Republican base:
Putnam: Meals with supporters— Up & Adam Breakfast; Other—visits as Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services (mostly associated with Hurricane Irma); Speeches—veterans, students, business owners/groups, agriculture communities (targeted audiences—rural/suburban communities, agriculture community, older voters, conservative religious groups, i.e., the traditional Republican base). Like the four Democratic candidates, Putnam has chosen to "theme" or "brand" a series of visits—a Florida First bus tour following his announcement and his popular Up & Adam breakfast events held all over the state.
DeSantis: Announcement/speech—candidacy announcement, featured speaker at events (targeted audiences—Republican donors, Trump supporters). DeSantis has relied less heavily on visits and more on cable news coverage of him on Fox News Channel (with a significant Trump supporter audience). He has appeared on Fox News Channel 16 times since his announcement.
Table 3. Type of Events: Republicans (Including DeSantis TV)
Notes: *Other: mostly visits associated with Putnam's position as Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
**Technically not an in-person appearance; but a live "in-person" appearance into homes via TV.
BIG UNKNOWNS
The Republican primary is still in flux, primarily because of the possibility that Richard Corcoran will enter the gubernatorial contest. Nonetheless, if it remains a Putnam-DeSantis race, there are three big unknowns as to which candidate will win the GOP primary:
Outsider vs. Insider? Will a majority of the GOP primary voters be looking for an insider or outsider candidate? Will DeSantis's efforts to cast himself as the "outsider" be successful?
Influence of President Trump on GOP Primary Voters? Will DeSantis's more nationalized campaign relying heavily on his "endorsement" by President Trump bring Trump supporters to the polls in an August primary? Will Trump actually campaign for DeSantis in the primary? What percent of the GOP primary voters will vote for DeSantis over Putnam just because the president urges them to do so?
National or State Issues More Important? Are national issues more important to Florida GOP primary voters than more Florida-specific issues? DeSantis's appearances to date have largely focused on national issues (congressional investigations, DC scandals), while Putnam has stressed more Florida specific issues (economics, especially workforce development, land and water conservation).
Clearly, at this point in the campaign, Putnam has embraced a more traditional personal appearance early visits strategy, while DeSantis has stuck to targeted "in-person" via Fox News Channel appearances to yield him the GOP gubernatorial nomination. According to a recent online poll by Gravis Marketing, the non-traditional "grassroots" approach has enabled DeSantis to statistically catch up with initial frontrunner Putnam, just as non-traditional Democrat Levine has done with Graham and Gillum [10].
The reality is that five months before the August 28 primary, 60% of Republicans are undecided as to which GOP gubernatorial candidate they would vote for. They remain rather removed from the governor's race, many still suffering from election fatigue and increasingly weary of the contentious politics characterizing the political system at-large. As it will be for Democrats, it will be a real challenge to these GOP candidates to turn out voters in late August, then to put the pieces of the party back together again after what is shaping up to be a highly negative primary.
The leading election handicappers all rate the Florida governor's race as a nail-biter: Cook Report: toss-up; Sabato's Crystal Ball: toss-up; Inside Elections: toss-up. Reported by Nathaniel Rakich, "The 18(!) Governorships Democrats Could Pick Up This Year," five-thirty-eight.com, February 22, 2018. Available at https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-18-governorships-democrats-could-pick-up-this-year/
Early visits are important for a number of reasons. Visiting political party organizations—state and county committees, caucuses, and conventions—helps a candidate secure volunteers early in the process. Grassroots supporters play a major role in turning out friends and neighbors—critical in low turnout primaries. Party activists are also among the those most likely to vote in low-turnout primary elections. Meeting with key groups can lock in endorsements of prominent local community leaders or organizations—political, economic, and demographic. Participating in issue-centric events like rallies, marches, and protests can enhance one's credibility with critical base constituencies. Media-generating visits to parts of the state where a candidate is less well-known can improve name recognition. The challenge for candidates is to figure out the winning mix!
Following the close 2016 presidential contest, both parties touted the need to "return to the grassroots" and to rely less on "big data" and incredibly-costly TV ads in a 10 media-market state.
Another prominent Republican, Sen. Jack Latvala, filed to run on August 16, 2017, but left the race unofficially on December 20, 2017 when he announced his resignation from the Florida Senate effective January 5, 2018 following allegations of sexual harassment. He officially withdrew from the race on March 9, 2018. He is excluded from this analysis.
President Trump Tweet: "Congressman Ron DeSantis is a brilliant young leader, Yale and Harvard Law, who would make a GREAT Governor of Florida. He loves our Country and is a true FIGHTER!" December 22, 2017.
Due to data limitations, it is not possible to know the gender of the remaining 1.4%.
The media markets of Miami-Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce.
This includes his visits in his role as Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the bulk of which were related to Hurricane Irma (before and after), and problems with the Florida citrus industry (invasive species causing greening) and terrific destruction of trees and crops by Hurricane Irma.
Although Levine initially relied heavily on TV ads, more recently he has made numerous in-person visits, catching up with or exceeding exceeded the visit counts of his fellow Democratic gubernatorial candidates.

Five Important Things To Know About DA Smith's Rankin County Trial

By Ko Bragg Wednesday, September 19, 2018 10:11 a.m. CDT
JACKSON — Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith's most recent trial for aggravated stalking and robbery charges spanned two days in a Rankin County courtroom. An all-white jury of four men and eight women found him not guilty of robbery, but could not decide about the aggravated stalking charge.
The charges stem from an August 2015 incident between Smith and his ex-girlfriend, Christie Edwards at his trailer in Pearl, Miss., DA Smith and Edwards had broken up at the time, but he allowed her to stay there.
If you missed the Jackson Free Press coverage of the quick but meaty trial, here is the CliffsNotes version. But if you want to sift through the details of Smith's last three trials, head over to our award-winning archive.
1. It Might Not Be Over
Attorney General Jim Hood's office only prosecuted Smith for robbery and aggravated stalking. However, the AG's office has not yet dealt with two misdemeanor counts of simple domestic violence against Smith stemming from the August 2015 altercation with his ex-girlfriend.
The State could also retry Smith for the aggravated stalking charges that deadlocked the jury. Hood's office would not comment directly about whether or not they would prosecute Smith again.
2. Third Time: Strikeout or 'The Charm'?
This Rankin County trial represents the third time Hood's office has prosecuted DA Smith in the last two years. The previous two trials were for hindering the prosecution of Christopher Butler, whom the State of Mississippi later convicted of drug charges that brought a 30-year sentence. The DA's first trial resulted in a mistrial, and the jury acquitted him last summer on all charges during the redo trial.
Assistant Attorney General Stanley Alexander was one of the prosecuting lawyers in the Rankin County trial, and he also ran against Smith for the Hinds County District Attorney seat in 2015. DA Smith's attorney, Michael Sterling, raised concerns about this after the trial.
"You are not supposed to be prosecuted by a political opponent. It was wrong for that to happen," Sterling said.
3. State Got Rid of Black Jurors?
During a post-trial conversation with reporters, Sterling also told reporters that the prosecuting attorneys excused every African American that had been on the jury who had not been disqualified for cause during jury selection. Sterling said the defense team raised a Batson challenge, which is an objection to what they saw as the state excluding jurors from the pool based on race.
The attorney general's office declined to comment about the jury selection process.
4. Smith Took the Stand
On Sept. 12, Smith waived his Fifth Amendment right and served as the defense's only witness.
The DA did not deny he took the gun for "everyone's safety," nor did he deny pushing Edwards or that her injuries could have come from the shoves. Smith testified that he "had to" push Edwards in order to leave. In Alexander's line of questioning during cross-examination, Smith said that "pushing is not" violent.
"You're not saying that your pushing didn't cause those bruises?" Alexander asked.
"I really don't know," Smith replied.
5. Love Triangle, Exposed
Or maybe it's more accurately a trapezoid. Smith's wife was formerly known as Wanda Fears when she was married to a man named William Fears. He testified on Sept. 11 because he was romantically involved with Smith's ex-girlfriend, Edwards, in August 2015, and he was at the trailer when the incident took place. He testified that he hid in the closet when he heard DA Smith enter the trailer.
In 2015 Smith began dating Wanda Fears and married her in September 2015, a matter of months after ending his relationship with Edwards.

Whether bringing tears to the eyes of the residents that he plays for at senior centers and assisted living homes or playing violin as a 12-year-old at his first music teacher's wedding, Albert Gang has always been about sharing his music.
As Gang, a graduate of Sage Hill School in Newport Beach, wrote in his personal statement, he has "learned that the greatest skill the violin offers is the ability to connect with anyone, regardless of background."
Classical music does not have to be just for blue-haired patrons in tuxedos and formal dresses in stuffy concert halls, he believes.
Artists of the Year 2020
Dance: Lilah Dee Horton, Orange County School of the Arts
Film/animation: Zayd Ezzeldine, Irvine High School
Vocal music: Sean Oliu, Servite High School
Theater: Christina Tinde Jesenski, Orange County School of the Arts
Computer assisted visual arts: Renee Tran, University High School
Handcrafted visual arts: Ray Mar Negrete, Aliso Niguel High School
"As a classical violinist, I harness the power of Brahms and Tchaikovsky to cross a divide across all ages, ethnicities and experiences," he writes.
In Gang's hands, the violin becomes much more than just an instrument.
"He strives to find and bring out the meaning and emotion in his repertoire," said judge Mark Aguero of the Buena Park School District. "Additionally, he is striving to find ways to make his music more accessible to a broader audience."
Gang's personal statement reflects the connections he seeks through music.
"The elderly folks in the nursing home and I retain completely different life experiences, yet somehow I can still relate to their tears."
This attention to the intention of music, plus spot-on execution, helped Gang earn the top distinction in instrumental music for the 2020 Orange County Artist of the Year.
For his final performances, Gang played two contrasting numbers: a passage from the lush "Romance" by Amy Beach, then Prokofiev's technically challenging and occasionally frenetic Violin Concerto No. 2.
Several judges were taken by the Prokofiev piece.
Roger Kalia, associate conductor with the Pacific Symphony and new music director for Indiana's Evansville Philharmonic, wrote of Gang, "His Prokofiev was imaginative and haunting. He really brought out the character of the music, rather than simply play the notes beautifully."
For his part, Gang was drawn to the piece for the way its "dysfunctional dissonance" reflects the stresses of teenage life that he feels.
"Through this piece, I hope to reveal myself, the imperfections in my life, the inner darkness and angst within," he wrote.
While it may not exactly qualify as dissonance, Gang plans an interesting future path. He is to attend Yale in the fall and hopes to complete a five-year bachelor/master's program in violin performance and, naturally, chemistry.
The finalists
The Instrumental Music category is divided into four specialties: commercial and world/cultural music, jazz, piano and strings, and winds and percussion.
Gang emerged as the top musician in piano and strings.

"Disruption" is often discussed in the context of new digital strategies and methods, to the point where it the word is linked to the tech world. The construction industry would seem to be at a far remove from the digital world. But, in fact, the construction industry is being disrupted by new technologies and new approaches.
The construction industry is ripe for disruption.
The construction industry is ripe for disruption largely because its large projects take a very long time to complete and are famed for big cost overruns.
Major projects such as Boston's Big Dig, which moved a section of roadway underground, cost more than $12 billion over the originally projected cost and took more than eight years. The current extension of a Los Angeles subway line by just over 2.5 miles is forecast to cost $2.4 billion and take more than a decade. New York City's Freedom Tower was a seven-year process.
So making words like "nimble" and "agile" apply to this industry sounds very good.
A Forbes article points out that new technology is disrupting the construction industry. One of the reasons for both longer than originally anticipated times and cost overruns is the length of the approval and inspection process.
Prior to laying a foundation, multiple inspections are needed for soil, drainage, and surface space. Once building begins, compliance, quality, progress, worker safety, and many other frequent inspections take place. Historically, most of these inspections are driven by people inspecting, which takes time.
Enter the drone. Camera-equipped drones can take highly detailed pictures that are downloaded and sent to computers and smart systems for decision-making.
Another major benefit is that they can capture data and lets architects and builders simulate multiple scenarios before site planning and building even begins. These scenarios allow proactive avoidance of situations that could be roadblocks once construction begins.
Drones can also provide data that allow robots to be deployed for maximum effectiveness in a building.
3D construction design is another technology that provides the ability to build virtually before construction on the ground takes place, using a 3D printer. Simulations can provide 3D blueprints that ease construction and, again, potentially troubleshoot roadblocks before they begin.
Tech tools can prevent roadblocks before they occur.
It isn't only construction sites that are being disrupted, however. A recent Bloomberg Businessweek article focuses on Elon Musk, who with his boringcompany.com is focusing on creating faster methods of tunnel-building.
Although the project is still in the experimental stages, it seems to be doing what disruptors do – re-envision the why and wherefore of traditional methods of operation.
Musk's stated reason for tunnels is to reduce traffic congestion. The experiment is aimed at seeing whether 1) tunnel creation can be made faster with different types of equipment and 2) whether multiple levels of tunnels for vehicle traffic and high-speed trains – as many as 30 different levels – are possible.
Although the article does not make the connection explicit, a 30-level tunnel would create a kind of network – one in the ground, but very analogous to high-speed virtual networks.
Roads are currently 2D. Multilevel tunnels could make them 3D.
Can the construction industry be disrupted? It already has been, and the future looks promising for even more.


In case you missed my explanation on how this soup came to be, I'll catch you up. There is a restaurant nearby we like to go to called "Mexican Village." They have a house special there called "Caldo Cancun Soup." I absolutely LOVE it! Last time we were there, I decided I had to give it a try. I looked up what "Caldo' meant and it just means broth. So, I looked up Cancun Soup and saw a recipe that was somewhat like what I was looking for. I used it to guide me, but this was totally my "creation." While my soup is not the same as the soup I had at Mexican Village, it satisfied my craving and gave me somewhat of a similar flavor.
This was my first attempt at adding rice to anything in the Slow Cooker. Let me tell you, I didn't know rice could absorb quite as much as it did.....like everything! The consistency of this soup was supposed to be thin and it turned out with the consistency of Lemon-Rice Soup! Ooopps!!! I changed the recipe below so it won't happen to you! Regardless of the consistency, it was DELICIOUS! I was really worried about it being REALLY spicy, but it was perfect. My two-year-old even ate it!
I made my soup with chicken, but honestly, I may just omit the chicken next time and add lots of extra garbanzo beans. My daughter is going through a phase and just LOVES beans right now and not so much of the chicken! So, vegetarian's out there.....this soup is definitely for you!
Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 4-6 hours.
Add the rice the last 45 minutes OR cook the rice separately and just add some to each bowl when serving.
My name is Alexandria Young and I'm glad that you enjoy Mexican Village's Caldo Cancun soup as much as I do. My mom works at Mexican Village in Bagley and has worked there for at least 9-10 years now and I've grown to love their food, their caldo cancun soup being my favorite as well.
You use rice, boneless chicken, garbanzo beans (aka chick peas), chicken bullion and a spice called Sazon (add this and chicken broth and taste until you have enough that it tastes right. All depends on how big of a batch you make.) and then when the rice is done, add half a chipotle pepper to your bowl along with avacado and cheese if you want and you can use warm tortillas or chips to dip.
Enjoy and if you go back to the restaurant, my mom's name is Yvonne Young and she's a waitress. Works on Monday-Friday from 5pm-close if you want to talk to her about it.
I've never actually been to the original Mexican Village location in Detroit. I've only ever been to the one in Utica, but maybe I can convince my husband to take me down there!
Again, I really appreciate all your advice! Keep it comin'!
This is Alexandria again and you are welcome.
Chicken broth, shredded chicken, garbanzo beans, rice, cumin, salt, & chipotle peppers (don't forget to only add one to your bowl and not cook the peppers with the rest of the ingredients.)and of course cheese, avocado, and flour tortillas if you so prefer.
Sorry for mis-informing you and I hope you enjoy the food!
This soup is simmering in my crock pot right now. Can't wait to try it!
Great Kim! Let me know how it comes out!
And...how was it? We go there often and our daughter is off at school and misses this soup most of all.
My daughter and I go (possibly once a week!) for MV's magic soup. We call it magic because when you are having a really crappy day, go to MV and have this soup and like MAGIC, your day is all better. I am going to try the recipe, with the added secrets and hope for the best.
I see the recipe, but how do you get the broth to have the tortilla taste? If I can make the broth taste like tortilla, I'm pretty sure I can make the recipe. I used Google to search for "tortilla broth" recipes but have been unable to find one. I tried buying a tortilla base soup started from Kroger and it wasn't the same. Does anyone know how to make the broth have the tortilla taste.
Best caldo ever! Just the right amount of heat and oh so comforting. I agree with Anonymous that it really does improve your day to have a bowl for lunch or dinner. Maybe they should call it caldo milagro!

Framework of Colonization
SECTION INDEX
We live in a country that was colonized at the expense of Indigenous Peoples using policies that implemented exploitation, assimilation, and genocide. The goal was to exploit the land and its natural resources for profit. Governments in Canada have apologized but nothing has changed. Elected officials and career bureaucrats are too close to the problem to see all of colonization, they can only see policy.
Someone created a system in Canada for colonization to occur, it did not suddenly appear in the blinding flash of a colonial big bang. Other individuals or groups continued tweaking and adding to the system's colonizing framework, as needed, to continue the exploitation. It is this Framework of Colonization that needs to be seen and dismantled. Government cannot dismantle one or two aspects of the framework to end the oppression of Indigenous Peoples, they need to pull it out from its root and get the whole thing.
Framework of Colonization:
The root of the framework is the Doctrine of Discovery. Colonization started with the doctrine removing Indigenous sovereignty over lands and resources. The Crown then assumed sovereignty over Indigenous lands, resources, and peoples. In 1867, the Crown vested its rights into government and other delegated jurisdictions through the British North America Act (constitution). Rights were divided between federal and provincial governments with control over Indigenous lands, resources, and peoples falling to the federal government. Legislation was enacted and policies developed to take up lands and resources while assimilating Indigenous Peoples. The rule of law protected, and still protects, Crown rights.
Colonization underwent a facelift of sorts with the repatriation of the Constitution Act and inclusion of sections 25 and 35 in 1982. Legislation and policy, protected by the rule of law, further developed after 1982 into what is in place today. It is this constitutional, legal, legislative, and bureaucratic framework that empowers assumed sovereignty over Indigenous lands, resources, and peoples that is referred to as the Framework of Colonization.
The framework promotes and protects Crown rights and its delegated jurisdiction over land, resources and people through the rule of law while at the same time excluding sovereign Indigenous rights to land, resources and people. The Framework of Colonization uses this flow and ebb of protection and exclusion to create the means to advance colonization. No matter what elected or bureaucratic officials do in an attempt to rectify the wrongs of colonization and assimilation, if the framework is not removed, nothing will change. Left in place, the Framework of Colonization will orchestrate the final destruction of Indigenous sovereignty, rights, jurisdiction, and Peoples.
Below is a diagramtic representation of the Framework of Colonization. The rest of this section of the website will provide a basic overview of the framework. Use the navigation bar to select pages and page anchors.

A colonial thing
5 December 2019 - 30 June 2020
The question of how ethnographic museums should deal with their colonial pasts has been discussed even among the general public in recent years. Guidelines and recommendations have been developed that take into account the following aspects: who needs to, should, or can restitute artefacts? To whom should material culture be returned?
The exhibition shows how these guidelines relate to twelve specific objects. This opens up a discursive space for visitors that reveals diverse and surprising facets to the question of the "colonial object" and its future. Simple answers are not to be expected, but all the more impulses for reflection and debate.

Q: Kendo Menu binding menu dynamically via JSON I'm trying to bind the JSON data object retrieved from the servlet.
$("#mainVerticalMenu").kendoMenu({
            dataSource : new kendo.data.DataSource({
                  transport: {
                      read: {
                          url: "net/samso/action/MenuAction?func_flag=getMenu&user_id=nexol", // the servlet url
                          dataType: "json",
                      }
                  },
                  schema: { // describe the result format
                      model : {
                          fields : {
                            text : {
                                type : "string"
                            },
                            value : {
                                type : "string"
                            },
                            subItemList: [{                                    // Sub item collection
                                text : {
                                    type : "string"
                                },
                                value : {
                                    type : "string"
                                }
                            }]
                          }
                      }
                  }
            })
        });

From the servlet, the JSON format is given as follows:
Hierarchy:
Text
Value
subItemList (ItemObject nested inside the menuitem)
   - Text
   - Value

Example JSON:
Which ends up looking like:
[{"text":"OuterMenu1","value":"menu1","subItemList":[{"text":"subMenuItem1","value":"subMenu1"},{"text":"subMenuItem2","value":"subMenu2"}]}]

Actual JSON I receive when calling the servlet directly:
[{"text":"Communication","value":"BASE_01","subItemList":[{"text":"상품소개조회","value":"BASE_01"},{"text":"공지사항","value":"BASE_02"},{"text":"의견수렴","value":"BASE_04"},{"text":"사용자관리","value":"BASE_05"},{"text":"받은쪽지","value":"BASE_07"},{"text":"보낸쪽지","value":"BASE_08"},{"text":"자유게시판","value":"BASE_09"},{"text":"매장/마진율 정보","value":"BASE_10"}]},{"text":"매입관리","value":"BUY_01","subItemList":[{"text":"입고/입고반품현황","value":"BUY_01"},{"text":"수평이동요청","value":"BUY_02"},{"text":"수평이동승인/조회","value":"BUY_03"}]},{"text":"판매관리","value":"SALE_01","subItemList":[{"text":"판매및반품등록","value":"SALE_01"},{"text":"판매및반품조회","value":"SALE_02"},{"text":"판매일보","value":"SALE_04"},{"text":"기간별판매현황","value":"SALE_05"},{"text":"판매순위분석","value":"SALE_06"},{"text":"판매순위표","value":"SALE_07"},{"text":"타사등록","value":"SALE_08"},{"text":"타사판매등록","value":"SALE_09"},{"text":"타사판매조회","value":"SALE_10"}]},{"text":"수불관리","value":"SUBUL_01","subItemList":[{"text":"상품주문등록","value":"SUBUL_01"},{"text":"상품주문조회","value":"SUBUL_02"},{"text":"미입고명세서","value":"SUBUL_10"},{"text":"일별수불현황","value":"SUBUL_04"},{"text":"재고현황","value":"SUBUL_05"},{"text":"수불 일/월보","value":"SUBUL_09"},{"text":"품목별수불현황","value":"SUBUL_08"},{"text":"재고조정","value":"SUBUL_11"},{"text":"타매장재고현황","value":"SUBUL_07"}]},{"text":"영업관리","value":"BUSS_01","subItemList":[{"text":"영업판매배치등록","value":"BUSS_01"},{"text":"영업판매조회","value":"BUSS_02"},{"text":"영업주문배치등록","value":"BUSS_03"},{"text":"영업주문조회","value":"BUSS_04"},{"text":"매장별 재고/수불현황","value":"BUSS_05"}]},{"text":"AS관리","value":"AS_01","subItemList":[{"text":"A/S의뢰 관리","value":"AS_01"}]},{"text":"관리자","value":"SUP_06","subItemList":[{"text":"기초코드관리","value":"SUP_06"},{"text":"시스템관리","value":"SUP_05"},{"text":"그룹관리","value":"SUP_02"},{"text":"그룹소속관리","value":"SUP_03"},{"text":"그룹권한관리","value":"SUP_04"},{"text":"매장등록현황","value":"SUP_01"},{"text":"마진율조회","value":"SUP_07"},{"text":"상품코드별권한등록","value":"SUP_08"},{"text":"거래처별상품권한등록","value":"SUP_09"},{"text":"마감현황","value":"SUP_10"},{"text":"SAP송수신기록조회","value":"SUP_12"}]},{"text":"회계","value":"ACCT_01","subItemList":[{"text":"WEB-POS 사용자현황","value":"ACCT_01"},{"text":"WEB-POS 입금등록","value":"ACCT_02"}]}]

I'd like to ask two questions:

*

*The servlet is not being called at all, even though I've explicitly declared the transport URL in the datasource.

*Is the above schema correct for declaring outer menu items and nesting items inside them?

A: The servlet is not being called because Kendo Menu does not define a DataSource for loading its content. BUT that doesn't mean that you cannot do it: yes, you can!
What you should do is:

*

*Define an empty menu.

*Define a DataSource.

*Trigger manually a read in the DataSource

*Append received data to the original menu.

The code:
var menu = $("#menu").kendoMenu({}).data("kendoMenu");
var ds = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
            url     : "menu.json",
            dataType: "json"
        }
    },
    schema   : {
        data: function (data) {
            menu.append(data);
        }
    }
});
ds.read();

About your second question regarding the format of the JSON: replace subItemList by items, that's it. The entries on your JSON would look like:
[
    {
        "text"       : "Communication",
        "value"      : "BASE_01",
        "items": [
            {
                "text" : "상품소개조회",
                "value": "BASE_01"
            },
            {
                "text" : "공지사항",
                "value": "BASE_02"
            },
            {
                "text" : "의견수렴",
                "value": "BASE_04"
            },
            {
                "text" : "사용자관리",
                "value": "BASE_05"
            },
            {
                "text" : "받은쪽지",
                "value": "BASE_07"
            },
            {
                "text" : "보낸쪽지",
                "value": "BASE_08"
            },

It's a song about success that has long been looked forward to, when a new chapter of life starts and it seems good times are around the corner.
Success is wonderful–everyone likes it when something they invest time and energy into pays off. But perhaps we get less excited when that success appears in a way different than we intended it to be. We expect things to follow the script we envision in our heads. But what if it ends up in a different way?
Today is Ascension Sunday–which explains why we have jumped back to the beginning of Acts and are talking about Jesus's final words to his disciples.
What he leaves with us is an interesting look at success, and what it looks like in actuality. Next week being Pentecost, we see what it looks like when things really get cooking. But what sets up Pentecost? The answer is the Ascension, which, as we keep seeing, is always more than it appears to be.
It's a well-known truth that half the joy of achieving success is in the anticipation, the work leading up to it. As it's that time of year for graduation, achievement of success is very much at the forefront of the culture at the moment.
Graduation's always an exciting time, for students, parents, and even teachers. It's the culmination of years and years of hard work. Long hours, endless nights of studying, grueling tests, and arduous projects, all leading up to beautiful and long-awaited day, when the students get to walk across a stage, the teachers get to bestow hard-won accolades upon the graduates, and the parents get to bear witness to the most universal coming-of-age moment in a young person's life.
However, that diploma, that degree, that certificate, means nothing on its own. What it signifies is the work that went into it, and the anticipation of the day is half the reason for the joy itself.
When we talk about the Ascension, it's an easy impulse to relate it to graduation in a way. But graduation for whom?
Jesus of course achieved his glory on the cross, and in the resurrection that glory was reclaimed for all mortals everywhere. In a way it's a celebration of Jesus not dying, but simply leaving to be at the right hand of the Father. Jesus is not dead. Jesus is alive, and alive eternally. However, the accolades are for us in the end– he did die for us after all. So it's not for him.
The graduation could really be said to be for the disciples. After all, this is the turning point between the Gospel and the Acts, as Luke defines it. Everything in the Gospel is Jesus's work on earth; the Acts are the works of the church he left us. But did the disciples earn this graduation? Not hardly. All they did was witness. But that's all that was really required of them, and that's all Jesus calls them to be: be witnesses to the world. So it's not really a graduation for us either, because we didn't do the work.
So really, that's kind of the paradox of the Ascension. It's a celebration–but to what end? Because in the end, it feels like Jesus left us to do the work he started.
In many ways, it's a reasonable question to ask of Jesus. I mean, Jesus defeated death itself! He suffered, died, and conquered the grave! This is absolutely the kind of time that would be perfect for the kingdom to be established. He'd proved he's alive, time and time again. Jesus seemed unstoppable–why not end the fight?
On the other hand, it's a ridiculous question, because at this point, haven't the disciples figured out that there's more to Jesus's mission than just Israel? And that's just the point. Hey hadn't figured it out yet. Israel was still at the forefront of their brains. So no; it wasn't the right time, and that wasn't even the right question to ask.
Wait. Wait for the Holy Spirit to come to you and give you power. Wait for the right time, and you will know exactly when that is when it happens. You've been baptized by water, now wait for the Spirit to do the work in your life.
Secondly, when that's done, I want you to go. Go and be witnesses. Tell the people of my work. And not just here in Jerusalem, but throughout Israel. And then don't stop. Tell the people of Samaria too. Yes, that Samaria. The ones that are your sworn enemies. They get the good news too. And then, once you've given the good news to your enemies, give it to the rest of the world.
Why? Because the news is too good for just one country, one group of people. The good news is for everyone. It is healing, and liberating, and saving, and it's for everyone. So no, I'm not going to Restore Israel. That's not what I'm about doing. I'm going to restore Everything. All of Creation. I'm going to restore the whole world to the way it ought to be. You're going to finally see the kingdom of heaven, and it's going to be on earth, and it will be so that you won't be able to tell the difference between Earth and heaven.
At that point, Jesus left. Ascended. Gone. And now we are left here, here to do the work of the Gospel.
It can be a bit of a letdown honestly; here we were, expecting the end-game to happen and the Kingdom of God to be made known on earth, and then the switcheroo happens, and we're expected to do the work of the Kingdom here and now, before the end. Because that's the secret. The Kingdom is Coming, yes, but it's also here now. It is among us. Such is a mystery worth pondering.
IN the meantime, we do the work. I love the end of this story; the disciples gaping upwards as they watch Jesus Ascend to the heavens. Dumbstruck. And out of nowhere, beside them, out of view, shows up two angels saying "Hey! Disciples! What are you doing? Don't you have somewhere to be? He said to wait for the Spirit! And then he said to get to work! SO DO THAT!
I love it when Angels do stuff like that. We get all caught up in the miracle, and they come alongside and smack us upside the head to remind us to get to work! And what work it is! Wonderful work. Miraculous work in its own right. Beautiful, healing work. But first, we need to be patient for the right moment.
So we wait for the kingdom, but we also work for the kingdom now. What a wonderful way to move on up in the world? Amen.

I am so grateful the week is finally over. Hopefully i will be able to recover from the terrible flu that I have.
This weekend have a big family gathering of my mother side. That is when everybody talk and nobody really listen. Noise and more noise. Hopefully the food is not too bad. But can't really taste anything.
The surrounding of my new place has great venue for exercise. They have one of those outdoor circuit course like you find in Lake Garden.
My mind thinking wow.. I can do some exercise coz there is a gym and swimming pool and the outdoor track. My mind is stronger than my body.
I am sure that when the time come.. I will only used it like once in a very blue moon.
Hey.. you all like my new blog design.
I know la.. you all will not beleive me if I said I did it by myself. I had a wonderful designer do the design for me. The designer is TOH LI SHA.
I did do something for the blog I re did the color scheme.


I bought this a while back, not really knowing what it was. Well obviously, it's Mural do Favaios, a fortified non-vintage Moscatel from the Douro, but why is it in this tiny crown capped bottle?
It sat around, not being drunk (for want of a suitable occasion), until tonight, when I had a sudden eureka moment - it's a pocket rocket! Which is to say, a small, strong, readily consumed slug of booze, in a handy, easily concealed format.
Having figured it out, and knowing I'd never use it as intended, there was nothing else to do but drink it. Which I did. Here are my observations.
Nose: faintly reminiscent of oloroso sherry. Or tawny port. Or somewhere in between. Toffee, and a hint of struck match.
Palate: 17%? Really? Actually, there is a bit of heat in the finish, but the attack and mid palate are very light. Watery, if one could have sticky water. For sticky it is, in a pleasant toffee apple fashion.


Keep up the great work Helen. I'm so sorry about your aunt. Love to you and the family.
So sorry to hear about your aunt Helen…sending lots of hugs from afar!! Love your blogs; keep 'em coming!!
It's important to soak up the people we love while they are "with" us.

Here's what Hyundai's first N performance model sounds like
Hyundai's performance aspirations are clear: The Korean automaker wants its newly created N sub-brand to take on performance marquees—all of them. Already confirmed, the first N performance model will be based on the i30 hatchback (known as the Elantra GT here in the U.S. market), and now we know what it sounds like.
Aimed at taking on establish performance models like the Volkswagen GTI, Honda Civic Si, and Ford Focus ST, the i30 N will be powered by a turbocharged infline-4 with likely more than 200 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of less than seven seconds.
MUST SEE: Koenigsegg One:1 crash is possibly 'Ring's most expensive
The team developing the i30 N is led by former BMW M engineering boss Albert Biermann. Work on the car has been ongoing for quite some time, and a development mule even raced in the 2016 Nürburgring 24 Hours. That car finished 90th overall.
It's unknown whether the i30 N will be sold and badged here in the U.S. as an Elantra GT N, or whether it'll be a European-market exclusive.
(For those wondering why Hyundai's new performance division is named "N," it's after the Korean automaker's Namyang R&D center located in Hwaseong, Korea. It's also a tribute to the Nürburgring, where development of the N models is underway.)

Oregon hotel fires two employees for mistreating a black man
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon hotel said it fired two of its employees for "mistreatment" of a black guest who was talking on his phone in the lobby when he was asked to leave a week ago.
DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Portland tweeted Saturday they have "terminated the employment of the two men involved." They said the men's actions "were inconsistent with our standards & values." The hotel didn't identify the employees.
Jermaine Massey accused the hotel of racially profiling him after a security guard called police to remove him from the lobby Dec. 22. He was staying at the hotel, and his attorneys say they want a public explanation and intend to pursue legal action, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported .
On Friday, the hotel apologized to Massey on Twitter, saying the employees involved had been placed on leave and an investigation would be done. A day later, it said two workers were fired.
The security guard told Massey that if he could not provide a room number, he would be asked to leave. The Washington state resident left with an officer, according to a police report.
Massey posted a video on social media that shows part of the interaction with the guard.
General manager Paul Peralta said in a statement earlier this week that the hotel reached out to Massey to try to reach a resolution. Massey's lawyers said the hotel should publicly answer why security approached and questioned Massey and explain how, as the guard said, Massey was a threat to security.
It's the latest high-profile incident in which black people have been removed from businesses.
Last month, police in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland helped the owner of a frozen yogurt shop kick out a black man because employees said they felt uncomfortable.
Police in Philadelphia in April arrested two black men at a Starbucks coffee shop after a manager called police to say they refused to make a purchase or leave.
Police, other city officials and business owners in those incidents later apologized.

Eight Miles High (original title: Das wilde Leben, lit. The Wild Life) is a 2007 German biographical motion picture, set in the 1960s and depicting the "wild life" of Uschi Obermaier, a West German sex symbol and icon of the era.

Film Synopsis

Obermaier enjoyed sexual freedom at the legendary Kommune 1 in Berlin after being with the krautrock band  Bröselpilze. In the Kommune, she becomes friendly with Rainer Langhans. The young woman from Munich gains employment as a model, and becomes a sex symbol and youth icon. Now a cover girl in Playboy magazine, she meets rock stars such as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, while Italian film producer, Carlo Ponti, offers her a ten-year contract, but she declines: her freedom is more important than a contract.

During her intensive relationship with Keith Richards, she begins to recognize the dark side of the shiny glamour world she lives in: the isolation of the stars, and the groupie-populated milieux of anonymous hotel rooms — this is not her idea of life.

She finds new freedom in a relationship with the adventurer Dieter Bockhorn (David Scheller). They fall in love and go on a six-year road trip around the world. Later, Bockhorn dies in a motorcycle accident in Mexico.

IAB: US podcast ad revenue will grow 15% to nearly $1B
John Hazard and Lisa Burdige
U.S. podcast advertising revenue will rise 15% to about $1 billion this year, less than the 30% growth previously predicted by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and consulting firm PwC. Ad revenue for podcasts had surged 48% to $708.1 million last year, per an announcement shared with Mobile Marketer.
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands are the biggest podcast advertisers, making up 22% of the market, followed by financial services at 16%. Among DTC brands, health and wellness and home and appliances are the biggest sub-categories. News is the most popular podcast content for advertisers at 22% of total spending, followed by comedy (17%), society and culture (13%), business (11%) and true crime (9%), per the IAB report.
The percentage of advertisers that have added podcasts to their annual media plans nearly doubled to 47%, indicating that more brands are likely to participate in upfront purchases rather than the scatter market. The IAB will host its Podcast Upfront as a virtual event because the coronavirus pandemic on Sept. 9-11, per its website.
Marketers will increase their ad spending on podcasts this year, though by not as much as the IAB and PwC had predicted before the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout dampened demand. The predicted 15% growth is still healthy, considering that media spending excluding political ads may fall by 13% this year, per a forecast by WPP-owned media agency GroupM. The continued growth in ad spending reflects the growing audience for podcast content, which grew 16% to 104 million U.S. listeners earlier this year, per a study by Edison Research and Triton Digital.
The IAB's revised forecast for continued ad revenue growth for podcasts comes as more marketers dedicate media budgets to the format and streaming platforms expand their ad inventories. Omnicom Media Group last week announced a groundbreaking deal with streaming company Spotify to spend $20 million by the end of the year on podcast ad placements. The agreement is a strong sign that advertisers see the possibilities to reach the growing audience for podcasts.
Meanwhile, the podcast industry continues to see increased investment in distribution and programming. Sirius XM this week agreed to buy the Stitcher podcasting unit of E.W. Scripps, adding to its roster of streaming media platforms such as Pandora. Previously, iHeartMedia, the largest owner of radio stations in the U.S., launched a custom advertising network aimed at marketers seeking to reach podcasting's growing audience.
Spotify is banking heavily on podcasting to compete with rival music streaming services like Apple Music, which comes preinstalled on Apple's products. Spotify last month formed a multiyear partnership with Warner Bros. and DC to carry scripted podcast series based on the comics imprint's superheroes. That agreement followed an exclusive deal to stream popular podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience" and Spotify's purchase of Bill Simmons' The Ringer network.
