Pentecostal Prayer Gangs: New Film Documents Religion in a Brazilian Prison
Andrew Johnson is not a filmmaker, he insists: he conceived the documentary, "If I Give My Soul," while was doing research for his sociology dissertation at the University of Minnesota on religion in prisons.
The film (co-directed and co-written with Ryan Patch) shows how faith brings dignity to men living on the farthest margins of their society—and it shines a light on some of the facets of Pentecostalism that have helped to make it the fastest growing religious movement in the world.
I spoke to Andrew this week, on the eve of the film's Los Angeles premiere, about what it was like to spend time behind bars and how he became part of the lives of the men whose stories he tells in his film.
How did you end up spending two weeks in a Brazilian prison?
I was conducting research for my dissertation; honestly, I had no plans to do a film. The backstory is that I was interested in religion in prison in general. I visited Angola Prison in Louisiana and got a tour of the prison. New Orleans Baptist Seminary runs a theology program in the prison—they offer classes and train missionaries that are then sent to other prisons in the state.
I asked to speak to one of the seminary members, and the guard introduced me to an inmate named Charlie. Our conversation happened as the guard was looking on, and I realized at that moment, that this is not the way to get the story, under the eyes of the guard. So I started to think how I could get a more insider perspective, what prison would look like without that filter.
The answer was obvious: I would need to spend some time in whatever prison I was studying, eating the same food as the inmates, sleeping in the same cells. It was also a way to earn the trust of the people who I would be studying.
What attracted you to Brazil as the location for your research?
I heard about an experimental prison system based in Minas Gerais, a state next to Rio de Janeiro. In about 30 prisons they don't have any guards. The premise is that the guard-inmate relationship is always violent, so there's a code of conduct that is enforced by the inmates themselves. They're hoping to export this model to Africa and other countries in South America, so they were eager to be able to say that an American sociologist had survived two weeks in one of their prisons as a way of proving that their experimental model works!
What was it like?
There were three other inmates in my cell, including a guy from Paraguay who snored louder than anyone I've ever heard. Two of the guys were in because of drug and assault convictions. The third guy, who was maybe 70 years old, had some sort of sexual conviction he never talked about. He just stayed in his bed and chain-smoked.
Three or four days in, I was lying awake in the middle of the night, listening to the Paraguayan guy snoring, and thought, what if I had to do ten years in prison in this bed, in this cell, behind these bars? It really hit me at that moment, some of the emotional weight of being in prison.
How did the element of Pentecostalism come into play?
The prison was in a primarily Catholic area, but the inmates were mainly Pentecostals. One reason for this was that Pentecostal volunteers—who would come in to teach job skills and do Bible study—outnumbered Catholic volunteers by about 15 to 1.
Also in the city I was in the vast majority of inmates were from the poorer parts, where there are more Pentecostals. But the main reason for the dominance of Pentecostalism was because they believe in the potential for God to radically change a person's life. The once-I-was-lost-but-now-I'm-found narrative in Pentecostalism really resonates with inmates. That's when I decided to focus my research on Pentecostalism, not just religion inside prison.
Once you had that preparation under your belt, how did you come to choose the prison in Rio de Janeiro for your work?
I found the prison through Rio de Paz, a human right group led by a local pastor. By that time I knew something about prison culture, and I also knew there would likely be a prison church leader.
What was the culture of the prison?
At night, there was one guard for 800 prisoners. In the Rio prison system there's no real government presence; state control in the prisons is just a façade. The prison gangs are the most powerful presence, but the church exerts a strong influence too. There were about 400 inmates in the gang camp inside the prison, and 40 to 50 in the church camp. The rest were neutral people who kept to themselves in their own cells.
The gang leader told me, "People outside think we're animals in here raping each other, but there's order in here, and you're welcome here." Implying that I shouldn't be scared.
You weren't staying in this prison like you did in Minas Gerais. How did you establish enough trust to persuade inmates to participate in interviews?
I spent as many hours as possible inside the cellblocks. There were Pentecostal volunteers from all over the place; when they would walk in, I would walk in with them. It took weeks and weeks to get to the point where the inmates would talk to me and let me do interviews. There were times when I made phone calls to inmates' family members to let then know that visiting times had changed, to save them a long trip to the prison. I also visited the families of inmates with pastors and other volunteers to bring food, sometimes a gift a child's dad had made.
I basically become part of the lives of the people whose lives I wanted to document.
How did a project you undertook for your dissertation evolve into a nonfiction film as well?
I had a small pocket camcorder and took a few shots of worship services. When I was showing them to my dad when I was back in Minnesota for Christmas, he couldn't believe how awful the conditions in the prison were. The thing that also struck both of us was the urgency and intensity of the worship. Film was able to capture emotion in a different way than I was able to by just writing about it.
I also wanted to counter some of the inherent skepticism of jailhouse religion. People in Rio said, oh they're just doing that to look good in front of you. A Brazilian professor remarked that she thought the inmates were just being bonzinhos ("goody-goodies") because I was an American sociologist. But she had never been in prison. People make a lot of assumptions about prisoners' faith that just aren't accurate.
What were the key things that the skeptics weren't getting?
Pentecostalism in Rio's prisons had a gang flavor to it. Churches in the prisons had a structure similar to gangs. There was a highly visible charismatic leader, and membership in the group offered protection from threats. There was a strong identity associated with both the gangs and the church—everyone knew who was who. Both the gang and the prison church claimed part of the prison as its own.
But most importantly, the relationship between the gang and the church mirrored the relationship between churches and people in favelas. There was mutual respect, which was essential to preserving the peace. Gang members could leave the gang and join the church as long as their participation was deemed genuine. It would be very difficult to fake a conversion in prison because someone's observing your actions 24 hours a day. For example, if someone converted to Pentecostalism, that means they didn't use drugs. If they did, there would be serious consequences. They would be kicked out of church, and the gang would respond to the betrayal with violence.
You had no prior experience as a filmmaker. How did the film come together?
A friend of mine from New York who was a freelance photographer was willing to come to Rio, work for well below his usually daily rate and sleep on the floor of my apartment in order to help with the project. At that point I had built trust with the inmates over about seven months, and I knew who I wanted to interview for the film and that they would be willing to speak into a camera if I was involved. So we just started to film the interviews as well as worship services inside the prison.
Then I met Ryan Patch. He was starting a documentary about the preparations for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, but the film was never funded. So when I got back, I contacted him and told him I had a hard drive full of interviews, and things took off from there.
How is the film different from your scholarly project?
The film started out as a visual representation of my dissertation and then turned into its own thing. Stating your academic arguments isn't going to emotionally engage the viewers. So Ryan and I had to think of different ways of presenting the arguments. While the book is more focused on making arguments, the film is bringing you into people's lives and showing the difference the faith makes in their lives and their families' lives.
In the book, the main argument is that Pentecostalism in prison does more than help inmates cope with the pain of imprisonment because it provides inmates who are largely treated as expendable with a way to lead moral and dignified lives. My hope with the film is to help audiences see the human side of the prison population and that these individuals who are marginalized by society are capable of profound faith, which enables them to live dignified, deeply moral lives.
What are your religious commitments? Did working on this pair of projects affect you in terms of your own faith?
I'd describe myself as a practicing Christian. Having a shared faith allowed me to build access and trust with the inmates because we had a shared worldview and identity. On my part, I admired the urgency and intensity with which they held on to Jesus. People who have no other safety net hold onto their faith with an intensity I've rarely seen. That taught me the importance of living in community and the importance of single-minded purpose, especially in dire circumstances.
I really saw that Christianity is about more than having a set of abstract theological tenets in your mind. It's a daily practice as well, and I learned a lot about practicing my own faith from the inmates in this film.

Feeling angry and betrayed, IT workers mount protest
Posted by Patrick Thibodeau
In midtown Manhattan Wednesday, around 25 EmblemHealth IT employees and their supporters held a protest over the firm's decision to shift work to IT services firm Cognizant.
On the sidewalks next to EmblemHealth's midtown offices, they yelled "Protect U.S. jobs," "Keep jobs in the U.S.A." and, to the people passing by: "It's our jobs now, your jobs next." They waved signs and slowly moved along.
The IT employees gathered for the protest outside St. Michael's Church on 34th Street near 9th Avenue, across from EmblemHealth's office.
A small contingent of plainclothes security, dressed in suits, watched. There was never any tension or reason for security to become animated. There were a few moments of humor, particularly when everyone made way for a tiny, sunglasses-wearing poodle on a leash that walked by with its owner.
What is remarkable is that there was a public protest. IT employees faced with job loss over outsourcing usually keep their anger in the background. But the EmblemHealth employees feel betrayed, and misled by management.
One IT employee said the feeling is that the technical staff is being made to suffer because of bad decision making by the firm's management.
"Why did they keep all the upper management?" this employee asked. "You kept the people who sunk the ship."
EmblemHealth CEO Karen Ignagni told employees on Tuesday that "several hundred" IT and operations workers will be laid off as a result of a decision to hire services firm Cognizant. Labor attorney Sara Blackwell, who helped to organize the protest, posted the video on YouTube.
The picture that Ignagni painted in the video is that the firm didn't have the money or the staff to modernize and automate its IT platform, a claim the workers disagree with.
But the IT workers have no choice in the matter.
For those employees who are laid off and are rebadged to Cognizant, there's no guarantee of a career, just a short-term job. One employee said he was offered a two-year contract with Cognizant, but in this contract Cognizant has the right to relocate him to another site. He has children and can't afford to take a position that might require a very long commute.
One IT employee felt lied to by the company.
Even as it was negotiating a contract with Cognizant, employees were told by the CEO to "hang in there" and told things would improve. The goal, this employee said, was to encourage employees not to abandon the firm.

Different Stances on a Longboard.
Goofy Stance: Stance is determined by which foot is stationed towards the front of the board when riding. Goofy is defined by keeping the Right foot forward.
Mongo Pushing: Pushing style is determined by which foot is used to propel yourself forward. Mongo pushing is defined by using your front foot to push. Mongo in general is a slower form of pushing because it causes you to have to shift your weight from side to side when getting back on the board.
Regular Stance: Stance is determined by which foot is stationed towards the front of the board when riding. Regular is defined by keeping the Left foot forward.
Regular Pushing: Pushing style is determined by which foot is used to propel yourself forward. Regular pushing is defined by using your back foot to push.
Speed Tuck: The speed tuck also known as the tuck is the most common and most stable stance for downhill longboarders. The tuck consists of your front foot cocked sideways while your back foot is parallel with the board. Your back knee is tucked into the back of your front knee and your chest is low hugging your front knee. This position usually brings your back foot up on its toes. The lower your chest is to your knee the more stable the tuck and the faster you can go.
Speed Wabbles/Death Wobbles: Wobbles in any form are all bad news. Speed Wobbles happen when you push your board to go faster than you are used to. When going too fast for your board to handle it starts to shake vigorously until you are bucked off of your board and sent soaring. There are a few ways to prevent speed wobbles. One is get a longer board. Length increases stability which reduces the risk of speed wobbles; likewise getting a board with a drop that sits lower to the ground helps prevent speed warbles because the short distance from the ground increases stability. Another solution would be to switch from a cruising truck to a downhill or freeriding truck. If you are still experiencing wobbles a harder bushing might be the way to go. And finally if it is not your set up that's messing you up it might be your stance. Try to tuck a little more and plant yourself to the board more. A good solution when encountering speed wobbles is to carve until they have subsided.
Switch: Riding your board in the opposite stance than what you are used to riding.

Bob is baaaack! He's got thoughts and deep wisdom on defenses this week, which I definitely need help with since I'm a Seattle girl this year. So let's read on.
So let's get to it and I'll try to show some enthusiasm in the face of distress. First, as usual, I'm big on accountability, so how'd we do last week? It was a pretty good week for the highly owned and recommended. SEA, CAR, ARI, and STL all did well, but they were supposed to, given the weak opponents for each. NE surprised, and are looking like a juggernaut now. Did you know they are leading in sacks? And I was flat out wrong about DEN, but I don't think anyone saw that beat down coming.
The streams were a mixed bag. Four of them did well, but the Jets and GB were a disaster. Didn't see that one coming. And my bonus pick of the Texans paid off in spades. But alas, they too, are on a Bye this week.
So what does this week look like? Here are some links you can use to help you sift through week 9. As usual, my analysis, may or may not align with the pros.
Here are the ownership and projections for Defs this week of the 'highly owned' defenses. Highly owned being better than 80% this week. There are only 2 highly owned recommendations this week, with 3 warnings on expectations.
STL is 4th best defense and front seven will contain AP, forcing passing situations for MIN. Start 'em.
After what DEN did to GB, I'm going to suggest you start, but temper expectations because GB is still greedy giving up points to Defs, and will make adjustments from last week.
What happened to GB last week? They have another tough matchup this week, CAR is the 10th stingiest, temper expectations.
I like only two of highly owned this week, so I give you five streams this week and two more if you have no other options, because I'm generous like that. Besides, it's a tough week with 2 top Defs out and another that is on the rise.
Number 1 matchup, SF is #2 target, in complete disarray, may have new QB, start ATL looking to get back on track with upside.
Number 6 matchup, CLE is 3rd best target, with either QB this is a good stream, with upside at home.
Number 7 best matchup, Jets were embarrassed last week, as the week before. Turns out the Jets amass points against poor offenses and falter against good ones. JAC is a poor offense, start with confidence.
Number 2 matchup, TB is 4th most generous, NYG is 7th best defense and leads the league in INTs.
Number 4 best matchup, DAL is still without Romo, this is a safe stream.
Number 5 matchup, 10th best target, 10th best Def, MIN is 2nd against Pts, but with STL running the ball well, you may want to temper expectations.
Number 8 best matchup, TEN has risen to #1 target and NO is improving, start if Mettenberger plays, I'd pass if Mariota returns.
The streams are listed in order I think they will score, in spite of the matchups. That's the best I can do for you this week. Remember, every week there's always one DEF on the waiver list that can come through for you that week. Last week I said it would be Green Bay…oops. This week watch what the Falcons do to a team that is imploding.
During most seasons, around this time, and my roster pretty much set, I'll lock down to 1 or 2 D/STs and rotate based on matchups. Sure enough, I'll have ATL/NE for the rest of the season in one league and NE/KC in another. your thoughts on this strategy?
All I can say is that I like ur strategy :D I have ATL/NE in one league but if ATL isn't playing well vs Gabbert... What is ur ROS strategy for ATL/NE?
Yup thanks :). My ATL/NE league is setup such that you can't have negative points (don't ask) so we're rolling NE week 10, but there's a chance we could dump ATL for PIT.
We were honestly leaning the other way in wk 12 (Peyton) but we'll have time to judge....both good options.
I'm 4-4... but there is still some hope :D this week is crucial!
Ivory, L. Murray, D. Murray, Ryan Mathews, C.J.
If you had or had wanted to gamble would you drop Minn. for the Giants?
Sorry I'm so late on responding to comments, a little shocked there were so many this last week. I'll be sure to watch more closely this week. Thanx for all the comments.


GREENVILLE—Registration is now open for the North Carolina Writers' Network 2015 Squire Summer Writing Residency.
The Residency runs Thursday, July 23, through Sunday, July 26, at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. The long weekend offers intensive workshops with accomplished instructors, group events such as readings and discussions, a chance to share work with other dedicated writers, and a unique opportunity to bond with writers from across the state and beyond.
Registrants will spend the entire weekend in one workshop, in either fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction. Participation is limited to the first sixteen qualified registrants in each workshop, for a total of forty-eight attendees. For more information, and to register, click here.
Jan DeBlieu will lead the Creative Nonfiction workshop.
Which stories in our lives most demand to be told? What themes connect them? We will study the art of the personal essay, in which scraps of material with no apparent connection can be woven together to form elegant, compelling narratives. We will learn to create what John Gardner called the "fictive dream": writing that, whether invented or true, draws readers wholly into our worlds.
Jan is the author of four nonfiction books and has published dozens of articles and essays in national magazines. Her fifth book, in progress, explores how working to benefit others can heal even the most badly broken heart. Until 2009 she concentrated on writing about the natural world and how our attachments to our landscapes—the places through which we move each day—help shape who we are.
The Poetry workshop will be led by Amber Flora Thomas.
This workshop will provide space and time for participants to generate new poems, evaluate existing poems, and engage with tool building activities and discussions to inspire revision and more writing. Our time will be divided between the critique of existing poems and the crafting of new poems. The environment in this workshop is one of support and encouragement, welcoming self-expression, and development for writers at all levels. Participants will submit three poems in advance of the workshop, all of which should not have been in a workshop elsewhere. Please be prepared to write during and outside workshop sessions, using writing prompts designed to help you "stumble to the door" and find those poems, no matter what.
Amber is the recipient of several major poetry awards, including the Dylan Thomas American Poet Prize, Richard Peterson Prize and Ann Stanford Prize. The author of two collections of poetry, she is an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at East Carolina University.
The Fiction workshop will be led by Luke Whisnant.
In fiction we're always using patterns and shapes, whether deliberately or intuitively. A character tears up her life and hits the road: Journey. An older couple stays home and an angry grandson comes to spend the week: Visitation. A husband and wife are in bed talking, remembering, and watching a movie: Onion. A character dies and everyone in the book goes to the funeral: Gathering. Using these and other shapes from Jerome Stern's Making Shapely Fiction, plus some not included in the book, this workshop will help you identify, deploy, and exploit some patterns in your fiction. We'll also learn about character routines, emotional connect/disconnect, the unique event, lingering in your key scenes, and mashing up a model story. And as time permits, we'll write a few short pieces using prompts.
Luke is the author of the story collection Down in the Flood, the poetry chapbooks Street and Above Floodstage, and the novel Watching TV with the Red Chinese, which was made into an independent film in 2011. He edits the journal Tar River Poetry, and is Professor of English at East Carolina University, where he has twice won his department's Excellence in Teaching award.
East Carolina University, in Greenville, lies about halfway between the Triangle and North Carolina's coast. Support for this residency is provided by the NC Arts Council, the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, and the family of Chick and Elizabeth Daniels Squire. Registration is open.
The North Carolina Writers' Network is a nonprofit 501(c) (3). For more information, visit www.ncwriters.org.
Hats Off! to James Tate Hill whose essay "How Prince Helped Me Feel Seen" appears on Literary Hub. "I was seven years old when Purple Rain hit theaters, and Prince was as confusing to me as an evening soap or a library book without pictures. Even as a teen, I couldn't quite wrap my head around this strange man or his music. After graduating from college, living in a tiny apartment converted from an old hospital, rejected by the creative writing programs to which I applied, sometimes going days without saying a word to another human being, the music of Prince finally spoke to me."

Cardiology is a medical specialty dealing with heart disease and disorders. The article below focuses on the average salary of a cardiologist.
The heart is a complex organ. A well-functioning heart is vital to good health. Any disorder or disease associated with heart is considered extremely serious and is often life-threatening. The heart is a muscular organ responsible for pumping blood through the body by repeated contractions. It beats seventy two times a minute. It is, therefore, a precise organ, and its condition is central to health. Therefore the job of a heart specialist or a cardiologist becomes extremely important. The article below highlights the job profile and salary of a cardiologist.
First and foremost, a prospective cardiologist must obtain a science bachelor's degree. This is followed by four years in medical school to obtain an MD (Doctor of Medicine) degree. Cardiology is a sub-specialty of internal medicine, so one has to complete three years of internal medicine training. Aspiring cardiologists need to pass the internal medicine certification exam and get certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Finally, one must complete three more years specialized training in the field of one's choice; depending on the specialization. After completing the specialization they need to pass another board exam to get certified in cardiology.
Diagnosis, treatment and intervention of diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system are done by cardiologists. There are three types of cardiologists, non-invasive cardiologist, invasive cardiologist, and interventional cardiologist.
A non-invasive cardiologist basically runs a practice from his/her office. Patients undergo diagnostic tests and are advised treatment as per their condition. The tests include ECHO's, stress tests, and EKG's (electrocardiograms). A recent development for non-invasive cardiologists is nuclear cardiology. In nuclear cardiology, the patient is injected with nuclear dye, and a high-tech special "nuclear camera" is used to take images of the heart. These images are better than other tests for diagnosing heart problems. However, if any type of surgical procedure is required, the non-invasive cardiologist will then refer the patient to another physician.
Invasive cardiologists do more tests than non-invasive cardiologists often using invasive techniques. One of the main procedures that they do is called cardiac catheterization, which is done to find blockages in the arteries. The non-invasive cardiologist's time is divided between office visits and time doing these catheterizations. If there is any blockage, then the case is referred to an interventional cardiologist or another physician who may do an angioplasty or a bypass surgery as the case may require.
An interventional cardiologist uses invasive tests and procedures in order to diagnose and treat heart diseases. An additional fellowship of up to two years is required of a interventional cardiologist. The interventional cardiologist is trained to perform more advanced procedures than invasive and non-invasive cardiologists. Interventional cardiologists will spend majority of their time in hospital. They will perform procedures, such as balloon angioplasty to open blocked arteries, or place tiny mesh stents into narrowing arteries, typically completing hundreds of procedures per year, including up to 300 catheterizations and up to 100 angioplasties. Additionally, interventional cardiologists also spend some time in an office, where they will consult patients beforehand and follow-up with patients after procedures.
The median salary of a cardiologist, as of 2015, is between USD 300,000 to USD 400,000.
The average salary seems to be around USD 350,000 per year.
Compensation for non-invasive cardiologists is typically more than USD 400,000, while the compensation for invasive, non-interventional cardiologists may extend up to more than USD 500,000.
An interventional cardiologist may earn up to USD 600,000.
Years of experience, specialization, sub-specialty, location, and the type of facility they practice in are the factors taken into account for estimating a cardiologist's pay scale. Highly-experienced cardiologists get handsome remuneration.


Angel alum Alexis Denisof is getting back into the supernatural business.
The role reunites Denisof, currently a recurring player on How I Met Your Mother (on which his wife Alyson Hannigan stars), with Angel co-creator David Greenwalt, who also co-created Grimm with Jim Kouf. He is set to appear on a recurring basis during the new season, which kicks off Oct. 25.


A proposed list of science standards for public schools, submitted to the state of Maryland in 1998.
Decimal fractions can represent any number to different degrees of precision, depending on where we cut off their expansion. Continued fractions are a little-known way of doing the same using ordinary fractions. This is a very elementary exposition, suitable for public school math enrichment.
Addition with Roman numerals is relatively straightforward (especially if you use an abacus), but they are poorly adapted for multiplication. Yet the Romans did have a method, described here. It is based on the binary system of representing numbers, though of course they did not realize that.
A Sudoku puzzle centers on a square array of 81 cells, with 9 rows of 9 cells each. In the array, each line is expected to contain the numbers (1, 2, 3 ... 9) in a different order, and so does each column: in neither case is any number repeated. In addition, however, the array can be divided into 9 smaller 3-by-3 squares, each of which is also to contain (1,2,3....9) with no repetition. In fact many such arrays exist.
The challenge of the puzzle is--given a square array of 81 cells in which just some of the cells contain their numbers, use logic to deduce all of the others. This web page uses a specific example to present some of the methods one can use.
If you have finished the preceding web page, and look for a tougher challenge--here it is! Again, a step-by-step solution is given, providing some ideas about dealing with puzzles of the "evil" or "diabolical" kind.
an experiment using mostly kitchen equipment, suggesting that static electricity (such as can flash a neon bulb) and chemical electricity from a flashlight cell do in fact have the same nature. Suitable for classroom demo or science fair project.

a simple experiment or demonstration, confirming the claim that the intensity of illumination decreases like 1/R2, where R is the distance from the source of light. Most of what you need is paper, cardboard, candles or flashlight bulbs wired to a source of electricity--and just a little dab of oil.
The bright displays of polar aurora are caused by fast electrons arriving from space and striking atmospheric atoms about 100 km (60 miles) overhead.

Lock in a great price for Hotel Plaza Independencia – rated 8.2 by recent guests!
My stay was for only one night, but the front desk was very helpful in assisting me with securing a taxi for the following morning at 4:30 a.m. to the airport. They were able to direct us to an ATM machine & to areas where there were restaurants and entertainment.
Very comfortable. The room was private. The location is great, there are several places to visit on a wlaking distance.
Great location, relatively cheap, the pool was nice to pop feet in after a hot day walking! Aircon worked well and the tv had a full range of channels.
Staff was helpful I guess, but not very professional. Pool was well maintained.
Beds were new and clean, aircon worked well and the shower was large and had reliably warm water. Room was nicely cleaned every day. Pool has a shady tarp so it can still be used in the middle of a sunny hot day.
Comfortable bed, friendly staff, great location in good,safe part of the centre. Restaurant on site and pool is a bonus on a hot day. We booked for 2 nights and stayed for one week. We would stay again next time. Good value too.
Bottle of drinking water in the room. AC worked well. So did WiFi.
Nice hotel with basic facilities. It's a good value for money as others may be too expensive. If you're looking for a place to spend the night this is it.

a place to get fresh water to drink.
It's very shabby overall. The towels had holes in them or were frayed all around the ages. The bedsheets were probably clean but stained over the years and the pillows were greasy. The furniture is ancient and the sink was barely attached to the wall, and the floor lino was full of holes. The wifi didnt reach our room, but the church bells rang 35 times at 6.30am, again at 6.35, again at 8am (both mornings) - but not during the day. The cleaner tried to come into our room twice while we were still in bed, starting at 9am - everything here seems to start with the dawn- and we were awake from early on with the noises of people wandering around, rooms being cleaned, etc. A nice enough place but needs updating!
Very outdated hotel and rooms, mould in the bathroom, no fresh air in the room, very noisy, no way to keep mosquitoes out due to poorly closing windows, unreliable and slow Wi-Fi. Pool was clean, but had uncomfortable beds.
Dogs bark in the neighborhood all night, but who said Mexico would be quiet?
Parking is in a different building and the staff isn't very attentive.
Seats on the balcony of the room would be a improvement suggestion. Everything else was perfect.
No fitted bottom sheet. Always a wrinkled wadded up mess. Restaurant very limited hours. WiFi unreliable.
Near downtown as advertised but not in the best location really. Area is especially under-serviced, deserted and unnerving at night.
Friendly and helpful staff. We went back for a second stay.
Reception staff was nice and flexible.
Not good value for money (450 mxn) for a small room, in poor state. Very noisy.
Not too many restaurants around Room was clean but bathroom smells a little bit.
Staff were helpful, and my room was ready which was a bonus. Nice pool and powerful air-con in rooms.
We booked for 2 nights, but when we arrived, the hotel told us that the booking.com deal only applied to a he first night. The second night was 50 pesos more! Of course we stayed but it was kind of a scam.

This Is How a War Begins
By Charles Eisenstein / facebook.com
"Their stupidity is amusing."
"Stopping Trump is essential. Anyone who says otherwise is either foolish or blinded by privilege."
"People should get hated for voting for Johnson because he is a moron."
"Are Trump supporters too dumb to know they're dumb?"
"Hillbots have complete inability to do anything except parrot their hero Shillary's endless lies"
"Anyone who votes for Killary has already been drugged and taken the stupid pill."
"They will never change."
"Disgusting, twisted human beings."
Anyone who reads Facebook or pretty much any political website is sure to see comments like these that dehumanize not only the opposing candidate, but the candidate's supporters too. This polarization and vitriol, unprecedented in my lifetime, has me more concerned than the prospect of an evil candidate winning. It is as if what is really going on here is a preparation for civil war.
Dehumanization is a predecessor of war. When you see your opponents as subhuman in their morals, conscience, or intelligence, then you will have to defeat them by force. Moral or rational persuasion won't do it. That is what the above-quoted comments imply.
The dehumanization runs top to bottom, from the headlines in major news outlets to the comments on Facebook and Twitter. Photos of political candidates chosen to provoke contempt, statements taken deliberately out of context... the no-holds-barred tactics of war. Both sides feature the most outrageous comments made by partisans of the other side, seeking to indict all of them through guilt by association. Similar to the atrocity stories used to whip up war hysteria among a pacifist public before World War One, these reports polarize the electorate and sow paranoia and distrust.
If you read only one side, you don't know that the other side expresses the same outraged grievances as yours does. Most of my readers are probably familiar with articles about gun-toting "poll watchers" sent by Trump operatives to intimidate voters. But unless you read right-wing media, you won't be aware of its earnest, indignant articles about agents provocateur from the Clinton camp seeking to sow violence at Trump rallies. Each side claims the other exaggerates and misconstrues. Each side is constructing a reality in which the other is hideous.
Reading right-wing and left-wing news sites side by side, one gets the impression that reality has diverged into two. I read both, in order to understand the sickness that has infected my country. Headline news in one camp is totally absent from the other. It isn't just the interpretation of the news that is different – the two sides don't even agree on fundamental facts. Here's how one Facebook commentator, Amelia Bagwell, describes the experience of reading a conservative friend's news feed: "News agencies I have never heard of with bold headlines of'Breaking News' announcing HRC's pending arrest. Trump is second to none in morality, decency and honor...loves Jesus...and is a perfect example of a godly family man. If the same stories are reported, they are akin to reading two different languages. We are divided not just ideologically, but at a core level of raw information."
Such a gulf of perception inflamed by hatred presents a very dangerous situation.
I will not venture an opinion on whether the candidates themselves are hideous. We live in a system that encourages and rewards corrupt and even psychopathic behavior. What I do know, though, is that the vast majority of ordinary people are not the cartoonish caricatures of human beings that political rhetoric has made them out to be. They have an experience of life, a history, a convergence of circumstances that has brought them to their opinions. Just like you.
Statements like those quoted above create a climate for extreme measures. Take them seriously, and you have to conclude that there are an awful lot of people out there who just need to be locked up, medicated, forcibly re-educated, or maybe shot. They are reprehensible, appalling... they are deplorable.
Once the name-calling starts it is self-perpetuating, since anyone who says that you are a deplorable person will seem to you deplorable themselves. How could they be so wrong about you? How could they not see your deep humanity, the good reasons you have for voting the way you do, your sincere attempts to make the world a better place? They seem just hateful.
And so, the body politic tilts further and further into extreme polarization. This will not end well, no matter which side wins.
Dehumanizing narratives are never the truth. The truth can only be sourced from the sincere question, "What is it like to be you?" That is called compassion, and it invites skills of listening, dialog, and communicating without violence or judgement. Now there may be times when such skills fail and there is no choice but to fight. Failure is guaranteed, though, when the surrounding narrative casts the opponent as evil, twisted, disgusting, or deplorable. In that case, war is the likely result.
Can we please stop creating conditions for war? Can we please stop demonizing those who disagree with us? Can we stop the cheap and degrading psychoanalyzing of our opponents? These tactics might seem to succeed in the short term – one side or another will win – but in the end we have only strengthened the climate of hate and the mentality of war.
What can you do about it? I suggest the following: see to it that you imbue everything that you post to social media, every comment, every reply, with a spirit of compassion and respect. Do not let your pain erupt forth as an implicit call to hatred. Do not beat the drums of war.

Unicode 4.0.1
Version 4.0.1 has been superseded by the latest version of the Unicode Standard.
Version 4.0.1 of the Unicode Standard consists of the core specification, The Unicode Standard, Version 4.0, the additional specifications on this page, the delta and archival code charts for this version, the Unicode Standard Annexes, and the Unicode Character Database (UCD).
The core specification gives the general principles, requirements for conformance, and guidelines for implementers. The code charts show representative glyphs for all the Unicode characters. The Unicode Standard Annexes supply detailed normative information about particular aspects of the standard. The Unicode Character Database supplies normative and informative data for implementers to allow them to implement the Unicode Standard.
Version 4.0.1 of the Unicode Standard should be referenced as:
The Unicode Consortium. The Unicode Standard, Version 4.0.1, defined by: The Unicode Standard, Version 4.0 (Reading, MA, Addison-Wesley, 2003. ISBN 0-321-18578-1), as amended by Unicode 4.0.1 (http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.1/).
A complete specification of the contributory files for Unicode 4.0.1 is found on the page Components for Version 4.0.1.
The text of The Unicode Standard, Version 4.0, as well as the delta and archival code charts, is available online via the navigation links on this page. These files may not be printed. The Unicode 4.0 Web Bookmarks page has links to all sections of the online text.
Unicode 4.0.1 is an update version of the Unicode Standard. It adds no new characters.
The main new features in Unicode 4.0.1 are the following:
The first significant update of the Unihan Database (Unihan.txt) since Unicode 3.2.0, including a large number of fixes and additional data items.
Significant clarifications in four definitions used in conformance.
Unicode Character Database:
New character properties: STerm and Variation_Selector
Updated significantly: Terminal_Punctuation, Math, Script, and Line_Break
Changed: general category of U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE
Changed: bidi class of some characters including: +, -, / and FRACTION SLASH
Added: property value aliases
Revised: formats in some of the data files
Changes in the recommended loose comparison of character name values. See Property and Property Value Matching
Clearer definition of the encoding of Bengali Reph and Ya-phalaa
Changes to Definitions D13, D14, and D17
Unicode 4.0, Chapter 3 section 6 [page 70] contains the following definitions:
D13 Base Character: A character that does not graphically combine with preceding characters, and that is neither a control nor a format character.
D14 Combining character: A character that graphically combines with a preceding base character. The combining character is said to apply to that base character.
D17 Combining character sequence: A character sequence consisting of either a base character followed by a sequence of one or more combining characters, or a sequence of one or more combining characters.
These definitions are modified as follows in Unicode 4.0.1 for greater clarity and to allow U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER and U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER to be used in combining character sequences. (Definition D13 has been split into two parts, D13a and D13b. The bullet items, not formally parts of the definitions, are also modified for clarity. See the above-cited reference for details.)
D13a Graphic character: A character with the General Categories of Letter (L), Combining Mark (M), Number (N), Punctuation (P), Symbol (S), or Space Separator (Zs).
Graphic characters specifically exclude the line and paragraph separators (Zl, Zp) and exclude the characters with the General Categories of Other (Cn, Cs, Cc, Cf).
The interpretation of private use characters (Co) as graphic characters or not is determined by the implementation.
For more information, see Chapter 2, especially Section 2.4 Code Points and Characters and Table 2-2 Types of Code Points.
D13b Base character: Any graphic character except for those with the General Category of Combining Mark (M).
Most Unicode characters are base characters. In terms of General Category values, a base character is any code point that has one of the categories: Letter (L), Number (N), Punctuation (P), Symbol (S), or Space Separator (Zs).
Base characters do not include control characters or format controls.
Base characters are independent graphic characters, but this does not preclude the presentation of base characters from adopting different contextual forms or participating in ligatures.
The interpretation of private use characters (Co) as base characters or not is determined by the implementation. However, the default interpretation of private use characters should be as base characters, in the absence of other information.
D14 Combining character: A character with the General Category of Combining Mark (M).
Combining characters consist of all characters with the General Category values of Spacing Combining Mark (Mc), Non-Spacing Mark (Mn), and Enclosing Mark (Me).
All characters with non-zero canonical combining class are combining characters, but the reverse is not the case: there are combining characters with a zero canonical combining class
The interpretation of Private Use characters (Co) as combining characters or not is determined by the implementation.
These characters are not normally used in isolation unless they are being described. They include such characters as accents, diacritics, Hebrew points, Arabic vowel signs, and Indic matras.
The graphic positioning of a combining character depends on the last preceding base character, unless they are separated by a character that is neither a combining character nor one of ZERO WIDTH JOINER or ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER. The combining character is said to apply to that base character.
There may be no such base character, such as when a combining character is at the start of text or follows a control or format character, such as a carriage return, tab, or RIGHT-LEFT MARK. In such cases, the combining characters are called isolated combining characters.
With isolated combining characters, or when a process is unable to perform graphical combination, a process may present a combining character without graphical combination; that is, it may present it as if it were a base character.
The representative images of combining characters are depicted with a dotted circle in the code charts; when presented in graphical combination with a preceding base character, that base character is intended to appear in the position occupied by the dotted circle.
Combining characters generally take on the properties of their base character, while retaining their combining property.
D17 Combining character sequence: A maximal character sequence consisting of either a base character followed by a sequence of one or more characters where each is a combining character, ZERO WIDTH JOINER, or ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER; or a sequence of one or more characters where each is a combining character, ZERO WIDTH JOINER, or ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER.
When identifying a combining character sequence in Unicode text, the definition of the combining character sequence is applied maximally. Thus, for example, in the sequence <c, dot-below, caron, acute, a>, the entire sequence <c, dot-below, caron, acute> is identified as the combining character sequence, rather than the alternative of identifying <c, dot-below> as a combining character sequence followed by a separate (defective) combining character sequence <caron, acute>.
(The changes to D14 and D17 do not imply that any particular sequence is automatically meaningful or interoperable; sequences must still be documented and used in conventional ways to convey specific meanings.)
Change to Definition D9b
Unicode 4.0.1 explicitly acknowledges that provisional properties are not maintained. Unicode 4.0 contains this definition in Chapter 3, section 5 [page 67]:
D9b Provisional property: A Unicode character property whose values are unapproved and tentative, and which may be incomplete or otherwise not in a usable state.
This has been modified by addition of a bullet item, as follows:
Provisional properties may be removed from future versions of the standard, without prior notice.
Clarification of Bengali Reph and Ya-phalaa
The formation of the Reph form is defined in the Unicode 4.0 Book, Section 9.1, Rules for Rendering, R2. Basically, the Reph is formed when a Ra which has the inherent vowel killed by the virama/halant begins a syllable. This is shown in the following example.
The Ya-phalaa is a post-base form of Ya and I formed when the Ya is the final consonant of a syllable cluster. In this case, the previous consonant retains is base shape and the virama/halant is combined with the following Ya. This is shown in the following example.
An ambiguous situation is encountered when the combination of Ra + virama/halant + Ya is encountered.
To resolve the ambiguity with this combination and to have consistent behavior, the processing order of the Bengali script is taken into account. When parsing the text, the ability to form the Reph is identified first and therefore the Reph form should have priority in processing. Thus, it is necessary to insert a U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER character into the stream between the Ra and virama/halant to allow the virama/halant and Ya to be grouped together during processing.
In the example above, the ZWNJ is used because two characters that would join by default are intended to remain as separate entities. In cases other than where the RA is the first character in the cluster, the ZWNJ is not required for the formation of the Ya-phalaa. However, for ease of placing the Ya-phalaa input as a single key input, it should be permissible for the Ya-phalaa to be consistently formed by "ZWNJ + VIRAMA + YA" (U+200C + U+09CD + U+09AF).

Wait, What? Ep. 219: Skull Kingdom - Wait, What?
I think you're a bit blowing this Image thing out of proportion.
The Walking Dead and Saga are Image's pillars, and they are clockwork.
Out of the nuMarvel-Exodus Gillen and McKelvie had very dependable work and gained a pretty sizeable following, Brubaker and Phillips are regular as well, even with Brubaker's writing for TV, while Hickman and Remender manage to keep on track at least a series at a time. They're all still present. The only ones who after a point fell to the wayside are Fraction, DeConnick and Aaron. And even that happened after they put out at least a trade or two. And considering that most Image books are expected to take a break between arcs to leave room for the trades to bring in new or lapsed readers I don't think the schedule is as apocalyptic as you're making it seem.
Jeff's book sounds amazing, but I wonder how the evil society of ninjas fits in with the evil voodoo curse on the shark from the (actual) novelisation of Jaws: The Revenge.
Another great episode, gentlemen. I always look forward to your discussions.
Your talk of the drastically late titles from the big Image creators took me back to when I was hitting the comic shop weekly . . . a while ago. Two books that were on my pull list were Xenozoic Tales by Mark Schultz and Rocketeer by Dave Stevens–whenever they showed up, they showed up, and it was like Christmas. I never begrudged either artist the time it took to get their books out (I had plenty of other reading material, and when a new issue arrived it was an event, like Christmas in July), but I will never forget walking into my local comic shop one Wednesday in early 1995 and finding the latest issue of each series on the "new books" shelf. Doing a quick internet dig, I found that it was the final installment of Stevens's Rocketeer adventure–issue #3 of the "Rocketeer Adventure Magazine"–and #13 of Schultz's Xenozoic, which happened to be the next to last issue published . . . though I often run across stories that Schultz plans to return to these characters someday, possibly as a prose novel or something similar. Not holding out for that.
Jeff's comment about the trademark note about Godzilla being a red herring opens up all sorts of potential nerd press pr that other films could do. What if GetOut's poster had a small print note saying that Power Pack belongs to marvel, imagine all the insane articles and buzz that would have generated.
I think the thing that stands out more than anything else with Civil War II is it's almost impossible to remember what happens in which issue. I've had to check three or four times when the Hulk thing happened, when the trial happened, etc. And then good luck remembering what happens in the next thirty issues before it mercifully ends. It's such a poorly paced, poorly plotted, poorly designed story that it's impossible to retain any information about it.
I'll be 58 soon and Marvel was my first big comics love. I was completely convinced by Stan's spiel and Jack Kirby was the first artist I knew by sight. That led to my first big shift in my comics understanding – following Kirby to DC let me realise it wasn't companies, characters or comics titles I was most interested in, it was creators. That said I have some fondness for Marvel, but mostly it's nostalgic. If I buy current comics it's things like Squirrel Girl. I don't like events, but on the other hand the experience growing up reading comics when I never knew when or if I'd read the next issue means I'm not bothered not knowing what happens in a poor comic that Doreen turns up in. Marvel's business practices have led to a situation where if they get good creators on their core characters, it's only going to be variations on old stories, there's so little that's new. I'd rather read the old comics than slicked up re-treads. There's plenty of exciting new comics to read from around the world. I don't have time to read everything I'd like to. I can't imagine being excited about Marvel or DC's efforts to increase market share.
You complain about late Image books, and now Casanova and (final, sob!) Island turn up. Circuit Breaker is scheduled for next week, plus Lazarus is on the two-week-out list.
Is this a power innate to podcasters, or do I detect the mighty paw of Empress Audrey?

Trump requests sharp funding boost for NASA's Artemis moon program
By William Harwood
February 10, 2020 / 3:58 PM / CBS News
NASA to send Americans back to moon
NASA to send Americans back to moon 05:33
The Trump administration is requesting $25.2 billion for NASA in fiscal 2021, a 12% increase that includes $3.3 billion to kickstart development of a human-rated lander for the Artemis moon program. Nearly half of the budget request, $12.3 billion, is devoted to new and ongoing projects focused on the return to the moon and eventual flights to Mars.
"This is a 21st century budget worthy of 21st century space exploration and one of the strongest budgets in NASA history," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. "If the president's support for NASA wasn't clear before, it should be obvious now."
NASA documents indicate it will cost about $35 billion to fund the Artemis moon program, as currently envisioned, through the first landing of a man and woman on the lunar surface in 2024. To make that happen, the budget request says NASA will need $25.2 billion in 2021, $27.2 billion in fiscal 2022, $28.6 billion in 2023, $28.1 billion in 2024 and $26.3 billion in 2025.

Whether a generally supportive Congress will go along with that level of spending in an era of bipartisan conflict and the administration's call for major cuts in a variety of other programs remains to be seen. But the administration is bullish.
"America is leading the world in a new era of space exploration that will send the first woman and the next man to the moon in 2024 and build a sustainable presence on the lunar surface," the White House said in a budget summary.
"Through learning to live and work on the moon, the United States and our international and commercial partners will develop the experience, technology and systems that we will need to eventually send humans to Mars. These efforts will continue America's standing as the world leader in space exploration."
The budget proposal reflects a significant increase over the $22.6 billion approved by Congress for fiscal 2020 and "provides sustained robust funding from FY 2021 to FY 2025 for exploration through the date of the next lunar landing and beyond," according to the White House summary.
"The President's budget invests more than $25 billion in NASA to fortify our innovative human space exploration program while maintaining strong support for our agency's full suite of science, aeronautics, and technology work," Bridenstine said in a statement.
"The budget proposed represents a 12 percent increase and makes this one of the strongest budgets in NASA history. The reinforced support from the president comes at a critical time as we lay the foundations for landing the first woman and the next man on the south pole of the moon by 2024. This budget keeps us firmly on that path.""
The Trump administration ordered NASA to return to the moon in a directive signed in December 2017 and last year, Vice President Mike Pence, chairman of the National Space Council, set 2024 as the landing target. NASA had been planning for a return to the moon in the 2028 timeframe.
The agency says the Trump administration's 2021 funding request supports the 2024 goal, although details about the Artemis architecture are open for discussion, including whether the initial flights will require the use of a small lunar space station known as Gateway.
The first stage of an SLS moon rocket is lifted into a test stand at the Stennis Space Center where its four shuttle-era RS-25 main engines will be test fired later this year. If all goes well, the rocket will take off for real in 2021 on an unpiloted maiden fight, the first major launch in NASA's Artemis moon program. NASA
"This budget keeps us on the road to land the first woman and the next man on the moon by 2024 and, with support of the Gateway, helps prepare us for exploration of Mars and beyond," NASA said in an internal overview. "The President has directed over $3 billion dollars toward development of a human lunar landing system, the first time we have had direct funding for a human lander since Apollo."
The budget provides $4 billion to fund deep space exploration, including $2.26 billion for ongoing development of the Boeing-managed Space Launch System — SLS —heavy-lift rocket, $1.4 billion for the Lockheed Martin Orion capsule that will carry astronauts to and from the moon and $385 million for the ground systems needed to support the lunar architecture.
The gargantuan first stage of the first SLS rocket is currently at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi being readied for a critical, full-duration test firing of its four shuttle-era main engines. If all goes well, an SLS and an Orion capsule will be launched on an unpiloted test flight around the moon next year.
If that mission, known as Artemis 1, goes well, NASA plans to launch an SLS-Orion piloted test flight, Artemis 2, in the 2023 timeframe, followed by the first human landing in the Artemis 3 mission sometime in 2024.
The $35 billion NASA says the Artemis program will cost through the Artemis 3 mission includes the $3.3 billion earmarked for lunar lander development as well as the $4 billion requested for Orion, the SLS and ground systems. Another $175 million is devoted to lunar surface spacesuits, $212 million for initial designs for a surface habitat and moon rovers and $254 million is devoted to commercial services to send science and exploration instruments to the lunar surface.
The Gateway, funded at $739.3 million in the 2021 budget, is a somewhat controversial element in the Artemis program. The initial architecture called for assembling the outpost robotically in a high lunar orbit reachable by the Orion spacecraft. The commercially-developed moon lander, also assembled there, would be waiting to carry the Artemis 3 crew down to the surface and back.
NASA is evaluating commercial lander proposals, including one led by Blue Origin that would utilize Gateway and one from Boeing that would use a single SLS rocket to propel both the Orion capsule and the lander directly into a lower lunar orbit for landing.
"NASA wants to explore all options to land the crew on the moon and remains open to approaches that do not require docking to the Gateway," according to the internal agency overview. "While the Gateway is not a requirement for the human landing system in 2024 and 2025 landings, the Gateway will be required for the sustained missions starting in 2026."
NASA's current plan is to launch the core elements of the Gateway — a power and propulsion module and a habitation and logistics element known as HALO — aboard commercial rockets before 2024.
A notional view of an Artemis moon lander showing a descent stage, used to lower a crew to the lunar surface, service as a launching pad for a piloted ascent stage carrying a crew back to NASA's orbiting Gateway outpost or directly to an Orion capsule for the trip back to Earth. NASA
The long-term, or "horizon," goal of NASA's human space program remains piloted flights to Mars. NASA says the Artemis program will "accelerate" planning for eventual flights to orbit or land on Mars in the 2030s by "developing technologies and strategies that can be perfected on the moon before going to Mars."
That includes solar electric propulsion and critical life support systems, along with the Gateway, which "could serve as the departure point in lunar orbit for a proposed Mars deep space transport," NASA said. "It will help demonstrate autonomous spacecraft systems management and long-term reliability of similar systems needed in a deep space environment."
The budget request also includes $529 million for robotic exploration of Mars, including a planned mission to returned cached soil and rock samples to Earth for laboratory analysis.
Beyond Artemis, the fiscal 2021 budget request includes $1.4 billion for the International Space Station. which NASA plans to operate through "at least" 2024, and $1.88 billion for the agency's commercial crew and cargo programs.
Space science would receive $6.3 billion, including $2.66 billion for planetary science, $831 million for astrophysics, $1.77 billion for Earth science and $414.7 million for final work to ready the $9.7 billion James Webb Space Telescope for launch in March 2021. The planetary science request covers the initial Mars sample return work and continues initial development of a probe to study Jupiter's icy moon Europa.
But the request would eliminate funding for the SOFIA Airborne Observatory, a 747 jet equipped with a powerful infrared telescope, and zero out funding for the WFIRST project, a Hubble-class space telescope NASA has tried to kill before. Two "lower priority" Earth science missions also would be canceled.
"While SOFIA has produced valuable science, it costs more than $80 million per year and has not proven to be as scientifically productive as other missions," NASA said in its budget review. "The SOFIA mission is proposed for termination due to higher priorities within NASA."

For many people, financial planning is retirement planning. Planning for your golden years isn't just challenging because of the amount of money involved. It's also complicated because you have so many options and because there are so many variables.
Just determining how much you need in retirement is challenging. One rule of thumb is to accumulate eight times your final salary. However, this could lead to either too much or too little money. If you have income that will be tax-free, like Roth IRA withdrawals or if you pay off your house, you might not need that much. On the other hand, if you live longer than 92 years, if you want to retire before 67, or if you run into unexpected expenses, eight times won't be enough.
Retirement planning isn't about a magic number.
Retirement planning requires a mixture of investment advice, tax advice, and legal advice to give you the best possible results.

Hazard or Hardship: Crafting Global Norms on the Right to Refuse Unsafe Work
9780801469244.pdf (866.1Kb)
https://doi.org/10.7298/k2ja-j516
Hilgert, Jeffrey
Today, hazardous work kills 2.3 million people each year and injures millions more. Among the most compelling yet controversial forms of legal protection for workers is the right to refuse unsafe work. The rise of globalization, precarious work, neoliberal politics, attacks on unions, and the idea of individual employment rights have challenged the protection of occupational health and safety for workers worldwide. In Hazard or Hardship, Jeffrey Hilgert presents the protection of refusal rights as a moral and a human rights question. Hilgert finds that the protection of the right to refuse unsafe work, as constituted under international labor standards, is a failure and calls for a reexamination of worker health and safety policy from the ground up. The current model of protection follows an individual employment rights framework, which fails to protect workers against the inherent social inequalities within the employment relationship. To adequately protect the right to refuse as a human right, both in North America and around the world, Hilgert argues that a broader protection must be granted under a freedom of association framework. Hazard or Hardship will be a welcome resource for labor and environmental activists, trade union leaders, labor lawyers and labor law scholars, industrial relations experts, human rights advocates, public health professionals, and specialists in occupational safety and health.

Home / Uncategorized / VIDEO: College Students Hate Trump's SCOTUS Pick . . . Even Though He Hasn't Made It Yet!
At 9 p.m. Monday night, President Trump will announce whom he will nominate to fill the seat of retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.
That's 9 p.m. tonight. It hasn't happened yet. But that hasn't stopped young students from weighing in, announcing that they find the nominee racist.
Campus Reform went to New York University to ask students their opinions of the nominee Trump chose as Kenney's replacement. "He's quite extreme in his views," said one student. "I saw it all over the news, that he's like racist," another student said.
Said yet another: "I saw the new nominee is like racist, and he's starting a new wave of something very negative, and I'm really scared about the future and what choices he will make," another pupil added.
