In Trump Administration's Final Days, CMS Finalizes Provision to Sabotage ACA Exchanges
Washington, DC — On Thursday, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized several provisions for the annual Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters (NBPP) for the 2022 benefit year, which outlines regulatory and financial guidelines applicable to exchange plans, and includes a provision allowing states to drop HealthCare.gov and instead direct people to buy ACA coverage through insurers and private brokers. In response to the provision, Protect Our Care Chair Leslie Dach issued the following statement:
"This latest move from CMS shows the stark difference between the Trump administration, which is spending its final days continuing its sabotage agenda by trying to rip coverage from people during a pandemic, and the incoming Biden administration, which will spend its first days working to expand health care coverage for Americans. The unprecedented provision issued by CMS undercuts the Affordable Care Act, injects chaos into the entire health care system and puts coverage for millions of Americans at risk. By pushing people to buy plans through private brokers, consumers are more likely to purchase junk plans that don't cover essential health benefits or have protections for pre-existing conditions.
"While the Biden administration will be able to reverse these harmful changes, it will take significant time and resources that could be spent on other pressing issues, like responding to the coronavirus pandemic. It is shameful — but not surprising — that the Trump administration is using its final days to cement its legacy of blocking Americans from getting quality, affordable health coverage."

Protect Our Care Praises Biden's 'American Rescue Plan'
Along with Delivering Relief to Americans and Fixing Problems with the Vaccine Distribution Rollout, Biden's Ambitious Plan Will Make Health Care More Accessible and Addresses Racial Disparities
Washington, DC — Following President-elect Joe Biden's release of his 'American Rescue Plan,' Protect Our Care Executive Director Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement:
"We commend President-elect Biden for putting forth a package to address the disaster he will inherit from Donald Trump and his failed leadership. It will take time to fill the steep hole this administration has left us in, but delivering relief into the hands of Americans, fixing Trump's disastrous vaccine distribution rollout, and getting resources to states and localities are vital to rescuing our nation from a pandemic that has gone on far too long and been far too costly to the American people. Importantly, this package includes crucial provisions to expand health care coverage, make accessing health care more affordable and address racial disparities in coronavirus treatment and outcomes.
"During the entirety of this pandemic, President Trump and Republicans refused to lift a finger to help people get covered or make health care more affordable. In fact, the Trump administration is before the Supreme Court right now trying to rip coverage away; but President-elect Biden is doing the right thing by working to preserve and expand health care coverage and end the pandemic. Congress should move quickly to provide this much needed relief for Americans."
After Four Years of Mounting a Relentless War on American Health Care, Trump Administration Spends Final Days Gutting Medicaid
Washington, DC — On Friday, the Trump administration approved a proposal in Tennessee that would make the state's Medicaid program a block grant. Block granting Medicaid funds is seen by health care experts as blatant attempts to gut coverage and kick people off the rolls, and have repeatedly been rejected by Congress. These actions come at a time when more and more Americans are enrolling in Medicaid across the country due to the pandemic. In response, Protect Our Care Executive Director Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement:
"The Trump administration and CMS Administrator Seema Verma are spending their final days in power kicking people when they are down by ripping away health care during a pandemic. Instead of focusing on the nearly 4,000 Americans dying per day from coronavirus, Trump and Verma are running through the tape to cement their legacy of blocking as many people from coverage as possible. Initiating block grants isn't about improving or reforming health care; it's about ripping coverage away from more Americans, plain and simple. Thankfully, this will be reversed by the Biden administration who will instead work to ensure everyone has affordable, quality health care and to get the deadly pandemic under control."

HEADLINES: With Senate Majority, President-Elect Biden Can Take Bold Action on Health Care
With the election of Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to the U.S. Senate, health care champions have secured a majority in the chamber and are ready to help deliver on President-elect Biden's bold health care agenda. Coverage shows Democrats capturing the Senate majority creates opportunities for the Biden administration to enact the president-elect's vision to lower costs, expand coverage and defend the Affordable Care Act and its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
New York Times: With New Majority, Here's What Democrats Can (and Can't) Do on Health Care. "Congress is most likely to act on a set of changes meant to expand the Affordable Care Act and to make health coverage less expensive for those who buy their own plans. One priority is raising the income ceiling for those who receives subsidies, expanding the number of people who qualify for help. Another is rewriting formulas to peg the size of the subsidy to a more generous health insurance plan, a way to increase the amount of assistance…Democratic legislators may also be eager to protect the A.C.A. another way, passing legislation that would neuter Texas v. California, the pending Supreme Court challenge that argues the entire A.C.A. is unconstitutional." [New York Times, 1/7/21]
Washington Post: The Georgia Wins Gave Democrats the Narrowest of Openings for Passing Health Policy. "For the first time since passing Obamacare a decade ago, Democrats will have a narrow margin to push health-care legislation through Congress without GOP help…House Democrats have made clear where they'd like to go on health care, in their ideal world. Last June, the House passed a significant expansion to the ACA. They knew it wouldn't go anywhere under President Trump, but the measure laid down a marker for the direction Democratic leaders would like to move on the issue in the future." [Washington Post, 1/7/21]
JAMA Network: Get Ready for a Lot of Biden Executive Orders on Health Care. "With the Democrats apparently poised to take control of the Senate following the runoff votes in Georgia, these proposals are all in play. However, some could be controversial even among Democrats, such as a public option health plan. Policies that can be enacted through complex rules governing budgetary legislation are most likely to move ahead because they can pass the Senate with simple majority votes and are not subject to a filibuster, which requires 60 votes to overcome…President-elect Biden is expected to reverse the Trump administration waiver rules. He could go further and encourage states to use flexibility under the ACA and Medicaid to expand coverage and improve affordability for patients." [JAMA Network, 1/7/21]
Healthcare Finance News: With Democrats Winning Both Georgia Runoff Elections, the Biden Administration Could Make Substantial Changes to Healthcare. "A Biden presidency is expected to impact the business of healthcare in the U.S., and with the Democratic victories in Georgia, the chances are now much greater that his proposed changes will come to pass in some form. The first and most obvious implication for the healthcare industry is that the ACA will remain intact in some form. With years-long Republican opposition to the law and attempts to overturn it in the courts, that wasn't always a given." [Healthcare Finance News, 1/7/21]
Vox: 3 Health Care Policy Predictions Now That Democrats Have Won Control of the Senate. "Democrats have won control of the Senate, and suddenly the possibilities for health care policy look a little wider than they did before the Georgia runoff elections. Their Senate majority will be slim as can be, and their margin for error in the House is also quite small. So it's not going to be easy to get anything done. But it seems likely that the Biden White House and a Democratic Congress will try to pass legislation to expand health coverage." [Vox, 1/6/21]
Modern Healthcare: Six Healthcare Policies Democrats Could Push with Control of the Senate. "Democrats will have much more latitude to pursue their healthcare agenda with a trifecta government because they could use a tool called budget reconciliation to pass certain types of legislation with a simple Senate majority instead of the usual 60-vote threshold. The process has limits, but some of Biden's priorities could potentially be accomplished." [Modern Healthcare, 1/6/21]
USA Today: 'Buckle Up!' A Democratic Senate Could Help Advance Biden's Agenda. Here are Some Top Policy Items. "Biden hopes to strengthen the Affordable Care Act, which provides health care for millions of Americans….He says Americans can maintain private insurance, but a public option will also be available, particularly benefiting Americans who couldn't access Medicaid because they live in the dozen states that didn't allow them to do so under the ACA. Biden has said he would raise the subsidies people can use to help them buy coverage through ACA marketplaces. He says no family will have to spend more than 8.5% of their earnings on health coverage because of refundable tax credits for their premiums." [USA Today, 1/6/21]
Roll Call: Democrats Aim to Move Health Care Agenda Despite Slim Majorities. "Democrats' priorities are unlikely to change significantly from recent years. House Democrats passed legislation last year to expand the size of premium tax credits to help people afford their monthly health insurance exchange premiums, as well as to allow Medicare to negotiate prices for some prescription drugs. That could serve as a starting point for health care legislation." [Roll Call, 1/7/21]
Morning Consult: Medicaid, Obamacare Expected to Top Democrats' Early Health Agenda, Former Aides and Policy Analysts Say. "President-elect Joe Biden's narrow path to enact health care legislation in the next two years got a little bit wider this week. Democrats are set to take control of Congress and the White House for the first time since 2011, and while COVID-19 is expected to dominate their agenda early on, lawmakers could take their first stabs at longtime priorities like expanding health coverage and lowering costs in the new year." [Morning Consult, 1/8/21]
Health Care Pushed Warnock and Ossoff to Historic Victories
Georgia Senators-Elect Made Health Care a Key Priority in the Closing Days of Their Campaigns
On January 5, 2021, Georgians elected Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to the U.S. Senate, delivering a majority to Democrats. Both Warnock and Ossoff ran and won on health care. Ossoff and Warnock support President-elect Joe Biden's agenda to lower costs, expand coverage, and defend the Affordable Care Act and its protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Polling shows that health care has been a top issue for Georgia voters, and Warnock and Ossoff made health care a centerpiece of their messages throughout their campaigns was key to their victories.
Warnock and Ossoff Made Health Care a Key Issue in Their Races
Jon Ossoff's Top Policy Objective Was "Great Health Care For Every American." "I am fighting for great health care for every American with a strong Public Option and strengthened Affordable Care Act, to defend Medicare and Social Security, for historic investment in clean energy and infrastructure, to lower taxes for working families and small businesses, to defend Roe v. Wade and the privacy of women's health care, to enact major criminal justice reform, to get dark money out of politics and end Citizens United." [Jon Ossoff for Senate, accessed 1/6/21]
In The Senate Raphael Warnock Will "Focus On Fighting For Quality, Affordable Health Care." "As Senator, Reverend Warnock will bring to Washington the concerns of struggling Georgia families who wonder why no one is looking out for them. He will focus on fighting for quality, affordable health care, for the dignity of working people who are paid too little as our government works more for Wall Street, and to make sure every voice is heard." [Warnock for Georgia, accessed 1/6/21]
Warnock Emphasized Health Care Throughout The Runoff Campaign. "Warnock has put an emphasis on health care during his campaign. When the Affordable Care Act was being debated, Warnock said he was preaching about the need for health care from his pulpit because he saw it as a 'moral scandal that the richest nation on the planet' couldn't find a way to get health care to all of its citizens. He said the pandemic has showed us how important it is for everyone to have health care coverage. 'A global pandemic and an airborne deadly disease is teaching us something we already should have known — that if my neighbor coughs, that could potentially leave me in peril,' Warnock said. 'That doesn't make my neighbor my enemy. That just means my neighbor's destiny and mine are inextricably connected. My neighbor may be uncovered, but I'm unprotected. The pandemic has taught us that we are as connected to one another as a cough.'" [Brunswick News, 1/4/21]
Biden Ad: "I Need Raphael Warnock And Jon Ossoff In The United States Senate" To Fight The Pandemic. "President-elect Joe Biden cut an ad for Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock that ties the twin runoff races for control of the U.S. Senate directly to the fate of his plan to contain the coronavirus pandemic and juice the economy. The minute-long ad released Thursday outlines Biden's plan to boost the public health response from the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ensure free testing and vaccination for every American and pump financial relief into small businesses. 'Let me be clear, I need Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in the United States Senate to get this done,' he said of the Jan. 5 runoffs. 'There are folks in Congress threatening to do everything in their power to block our efforts. We need you to get out there and vote for Jon Ossoff, as well as Raphael Warnock. We need them in the Senate.'" [Atlanta Journal Constitution, 12/17/20]
Warnock and Ossoff Emphasized Health Care During Final Push Before the Election
Warnock GOTV Message: "Get Ready For Affordable Health Care" "Well, call everybody you know and tell them to get up, get dressed, put your shoes on, get ready for affordable health care. Get ready for a livable wage. Get ready to reclaim our democracy and reclaim the future for all of our children. God bless you. Let's win the future." [Raphael Warnock, Rally, 1/4/21]
Ossoff GOTV Message: "We Are Building A Movement Based On Love, For Health, Jobs, And Justice." "We are building a movement based on love, for health, jobs and justice for the people. Health, jobs and justice for all the people, Atlanta. Let's talk about health for a moment. 300,000 Americans killed by this virus, our hospital systems, our nursing homes buckling under the weight of this pandemic. So many who have lost so much. Loved ones buried, loved ones who have lost their lives unable to see or touch their loved ones as they pass. A government that has lied to us every step of the way. We can beat COVID-19, Atlanta. We can pass legislation to rush resources to hospitals and nursing homes. We can make sure every American gets access to testing and vaccines free of charge. We can beat COVID-19 and get our daily lives back. And do you believe, like I do, Atlanta, and like Reverend Warnock does, that healthcare is a human right? Health care is a human right, and not just a privilege for those who have enough money in their bank accounts or who live in the right zip code." [Jon Ossoff, Rally, 1/4/21]
Ossoff: "We Will Ensure That Every Single American Has Great Health Insurance, No Matter Their Ability To Pay, Whether They Have A Preexisting Condition, Suffering From Asthma, Or Diabetes, Or A Cancer Survivor." "We will stand up to the drug companies who are ripping off Georgia families at the pharmacy every single day, charging outrageous prices for lifesaving medicine and insulin. We will ensure that every single American has great health insurance, no matter their ability to pay, whether they have a preexisting condition, suffering from asthma, or diabetes, or a cancer survivor, because Georgia, healthcare is a human right, and we will make it so in the United States of America." [Jon Ossoff, Rally, 1/4/21]
Ossoff's Closing Ad: "We Demand Health Care No Matter Our Wealth." "Senate candidate Jon Ossoff's closing TV argument is a call to action centered on Black voters' struggles with injustice and the coronavirus pandemic as he makes his final pitch in the last week of the runoff campaign. The 30-second spot, 'We the people,' includes flashbacks to the stories of five Black Georgians his campaign featured in earlier ads, which highlight how the pandemic has disproportionately sickened African-American families and invoke demonstrations demanding racial justice and equality. The ad released Wednesday doesn't mention Ossoff's rival, U.S. Sen. David Perdue, or other Republican figures involved in the Jan. 5 runoffs for control of the Senate. Instead, it outlines far-reaching policies he and Raphael Warnock say they'll achieve if Perdue and U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler are defeated. 'We the people. We demand healthcare no matter our wealth. We the people demand justice no matter the color of our skin. We the people demand immediate financial relief when so many can't afford rent, gas or childcare,' Ossoff said." [Atlanta Journal Constitution, 12/30/20]
Warnock and Ossoff Will Fight for Biden's Bold Health Care Agenda in the Senate
Ossoff Victory Speech: "This Campaign Has Been About Health And Jobs And Justice For The People Of This State." "This campaign has been about health and jobs and justice for the people of this state — for all the people of this state. And they will be my guiding principles, as I serve this state in the U.S. Senate, ensuring that every Georgian has great health care, no matter our wealth, ensuring that we invest in an economic recovery that includes all communities, that rebuilds our state's infrastructure, that lays the foundations for prosperity in rural Georgia, suburban communities, and urban communities alike, and securing equal justice for all, following in the footsteps of leaders who have departed us in this last year like Congressman John Lewis and C.T. Vivian." [Jon Ossoff Victory Speech, 1/6/21]
Warnock Pledged To "Beat This Pandemic With Science" And Fight For "Essential Benefits" In His Victory Speech. "I know we can beat this pandemic with science and common sense. I know we can rebuild a fairer economy by respecting the dignity of work and the workers who do it. An economy that honors those whom we now call essential workers by paying them an essential wage, providing them essential benefits. I know we can move closer to justice with empathy and understanding, passion and purpose. To everyone out there struggling today—whether you voted for me or not—know this: I see you. I hear you. And I will fight for you. I will fight for your family." [Raphael Warnock Victory Speech, 1/5/21]
Warnock, Ossoff Ran and Won on Health Care and Now Americans Are in Store for a Bold Health Care Agenda
With Majority Control of Congress and the White House, Democrats Poised to Pass Bold Measures to Expand Coverage, Lower Costs and End the Pandemic
Washington, DC — With Democratic victories in both Georgia Senate races last night delivering a Democratic majority in the Senate, Protect Our Care Executive Director Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement:
"Georgians elected Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff because they are health care champions who will help President-elect Biden and House Democrats enact a bold agenda to ensure everyone has access to quality, affordable health care and to end the coronavirus pandemic.
"This race was run and won on health care, just like Democratic victories in Senate races in Arizona and Colorado in November, just like capturing the House in 2018 and holding it in 2020 and just like President-elect Biden's victory over President Trump. President Trump's first act as president was to sabotage the Affordable Care Act, and, politically, it's been all downhill for Republicans ever since. In 2017, they lost the repeal fight and two gubernatorial races over health care and Medicaid expansion. In 2019, they lost gubernatorial races in Louisiana and in Mitch McConnell's home state of Kentucky over Medicaid expansion. They've been on the losing side of ballot initiatives to expand Medicaid all over the country. They lost the House, the presidency and now the Senate all because of their unbridled zeal to deny people access to affordable health care, rip away protections for 135 million Americans with pre-existing conditions and their failure to address the pandemic.
"Democrats recaptured the political high ground on health care long ago, and by winning the Senate majority last night, they now have a clear mandate to reverse four years of Trump's sabotage and to enact a health care agenda. Under President-elect Biden's leadership, the Democrats will build on the ACA to expand coverage, lower costs for prescription drugs, address racial inequities in health care and end the pandemic. As President-elect Biden might say, that's a big effing deal."

U.S. bishops welcome court decision to reject Trump's travel ban
From AP, CNS, RNS, Staff and other sources February 10, 2017

The legal fight over President Donald J. Trump's ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations is on hold after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to reinstate the order, unanimously rejecting the administration's claim of presidential authority, questioning its motives and concluding that the order was unlikely to survive legal challenges.
In a rebuke to the Trump administration on Feb. 9, the three federal appellate judges sided with the states of Washington and Minnesota on nearly every matter, opening the possibility that the case could shift to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a tweet on Feb. 10, Mr. Trump called the decision disgraceful. Mr. Trump quoted an article by Benjamin Wittes, editor-in-chief of the Lawfare blog. It reads, "Remarkably, in the entire opinion, the panel did not bother even to cite this (the) statute." Mr. Trump tweeted, "A disgraceful decision!"
Moments after the ruling, Mr. Trump tweeted, "SEE YOU IN COURT," adding that "THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!"
While the ban is on hold, refugees and people from seven majority-Muslim nations identified in the president's Jan. 27 executive order can continue traveling to the United States.
But it is unclear what Mr. Trump's next move will be. The Justice Department said it is reviewing the decision and considering its options. It was the first day on the job for new Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The lower court action so far is temporary and hasn't resolved broader questions about the legality of Mr. Trump's order. While the ban is on hold, refugees and people from seven majority-Muslim nations identified in the president's Jan. 27 executive order can continue traveling to the United States.
The appellate judges noted compelling public interests on both sides.
"On the one hand, the public has a powerful interest in national security and in the ability of an elected president to enact policies. And on the other, the public also has an interest in free flow of travel, in avoiding separation of families, and in freedom from discrimination."
The administration could appeal the ruling to a larger 9th Circuit panel or bypass that step and go straight to the U.S. Supreme Court. That could put the decision over whether to keep the temporary restraining order suspending the ban in the hands of a divided court that has a vacancy. Mr. Trump's nominee, Neil Gorsuch, cannot be confirmed in time to take part in any consideration of the ban, which would expire in 90 days unless it is changed.
The ban also faces dozens of other lawsuits, some filed by would-be refugees directly affected by it.
"We remain steadfast in our commitment to resettling refugees and all those fleeing persecution," said Bishop Joe S. Vasquez of Austin, Texas.
The chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Migration welcomed the ruling in a statement on Feb. 10. "We respect the rule of law and the American judicial process. We remain steadfast in our commitment to resettling refugees and all those fleeing persecution," said Bishop Joe S. Vasquez of Austin, Texas.
"At this time we remain particularly dedicated to ensuring that affected refugee and immigrant families are not separated and that they continue to be welcomed in our country," the statement said.
The bishop pledged that church agencies would continue to welcome people "as it is a vital part of our Catholic faith and an enduring element of our American values and traditions."
Stephen Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law, said two footnotes near the end of the opinion struck him as most significant because they challenged the government's assertion that national security was at stake. Without evidence of the threat migrants would pose to security, the court couldn't balance that assertion against harm they would suffer if not allowed to enter the country.
"It's not enough for the president to simply proclaim that the executive order is necessary to protect national security," Mr. Vladeck said, paraphrasing the ruling. "He needs to give us at least some basis for agreeing with him."
100 religious experts are writing letters to Trump. Here's what they're saying.

The 9th Circuit judges rejected the administration's argument that courts did not have the authority to review the president's immigration and national security decisions. They said the administration failed to show that the order met constitutional requirements to provide notice or a hearing before restricting travel. And they said the administration presented no evidence that any foreigner from the seven countries was responsible for a terrorist attack in the U.S.
"Despite the district court's and our own repeated invitations to explain the urgent need for the Executive Order to be placed immediately into effect, the Government submitted no evidence to rebut the States' argument that the district court's order merely returned the nation temporarily to the position it has occupied for many previous years," the panel wrote.
Last week, U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order halting the ban after Washington state and Minnesota sued. The ban temporarily suspended the nation's refugee program and immigration from countries that have raised terrorism concerns.
Asked to respond to Mr. Trump's tweet, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said, "We have seen him in court twice and we're two for two, that's number one. And in my view, the future of the constitution is at stake."
Justice Department lawyers appealed to the 9th Circuit after Mr. Robart's ruling, arguing that the president has the constitutional power to restrict entry to the United States and that the courts cannot second-guess his determination that such a step was needed to prevent terrorism.
The states said Mr. Trump's travel ban harmed individuals, businesses and universities. Citing Mr. Trump's campaign promise to stop Muslims from entering the United States, they said the ban unconstitutionally blocked entry to people based on religion.
The appeals court sided with the administration on just one issue. The states had argued that 9th Circuit precedent prohibits review of temporary restraining orders. The panel said that the intense public interest and uncertainty over how long the court case might take made it appropriate for the court to consider the federal government's appeal.
Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School, said the ruling was thoughtful and supported by a great deal of legal precedent. More important, though, it was unanimous even though the panel included judges appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents.
"It's a very important message that judges are not just politicians in robes and not just political hacks," Ms. Levinson said.
After the ban was put on hold, the State Department quickly said people from the seven countries—Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen—with valid visas could travel to the United States.

lawyers will always gladly disagree in newspapers etc on matters of great public interest and scrutiny if only to get a bit of publicity. Generally these lawyers are "volunteers" and have not even been solicited for their thoughts.
I believe you will find that most of the preeminent commentators (see Alan Dershowitz, Jonathan Turley, et al ) find the subject 9th circuit court opinion to be "political" and not constitutional.
Contrary to Ms Levinson view, the long history of the 9th Circuit is "political" ..."policy driven" with the highest historic annual reversal rate of any Circuit by the Supreme Court.
This decision simply amplifies that reputation whereas Ms Levinson seems to think it refutes it. The 9th Circuit has always been famous in legal circles for its endless political positions and posturing. This decision was expected and wasn't the slightest bit surprising.
This case was brought by the collection of Attorneys General in the State of Washington precisely to have it before the 9th Circuit because of its well known policy rather than legal basis for its decisions.
Having read the "due process " portions of the 9th Circuit Decision, it would seem that President Obama violated the "due process rights" of Cuban refugees, etc who sought or would like to take advantage of the "historic wet foot- dry foot rule" when he unilaterally revoked the rule without notice or articulated basis for revocation.
It is certainly analogous to any alleged lack of "due process" in the case of the Trump/Seven Middle Eastern States.
Immigration laws and rules are intrinsicly exclusionary and preferential.....I mean quotas regulating both numbers and areas of permitted immigration per annum. In the long history of these laws no one has ever asserted in court or otherwise that this is unlawful discrimination which constitutes the violation of the rights of non included persons.. The 9th Circuit ruling is genuinely a"first" without precedent in any recognized jurisprudence.

Jeremy Renner is developing a Steve McQueen biopic with his newly-formed production company.
Jeremy Renner has established his own production company.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Renner has set up his own production firm called The Combine. The company's first project will be a biopic on actor Steve McQueen, with Renner portraying the Magnificent Seven star.
Renner has received two Oscar nominations in the past two years for The Hurt Locker and The Town respectively. He was recently confirmed for the lead in the Bourne franchise's fourth installment. Elsewhere, Renner will voice a character in the upcoming Ice Age sequel as well.
Writer-director James Gray has been hired to write the McQueen screenplay, which is expected to be based on two biographies on the legendary actor - Portrait of an American Rebel and The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon.
McQueen is an award-winning actor for his role in the film The Sand Pebbles. He also starred in The Great Escape, The Thomas Crown Affair and The Towering Inferno. McQueen's grandson Steven R. McQueen currently stars on The Vampire Diaries as Jeremy Gilbert.
Renner is presently shooting Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters in Berlin.


Located on the West Coast of Africa and surrounded to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, Liberia is home to some of Africa's most beautiful beaches as well as many of Africa's unique species. Despite Liberia's beautiful landscape and its warm weather, it is one of the most underrated countries in the world. Liberia's unfortunate history has made tourists around the world overlook some beautiful aspects of the country. There are many interesting facts about Liberia that most do not know. I've gone ahead and listed a few down below.
In 1821, the American Colonization Society (ACS) founded Liberia for the formerly enslaved from both the United States and the Caribbean. Over 10,000 freed slaves migrated to Liberia and were aided by the ACS, until Liberia declared its independence on July 26, 1847.
Liberia is 170 years old, making it one of the oldest republics on the continent, but it is also one of the youngest countries in the world. According to the CIA World Factbook, the average citizen of Liberia is under 18.
The cruise industry is known for registering ships in countries with less stringent employment laws, and Liberia is no exception. With no strong law in place to protect Liberian workers, Liberia is among countries where cruises from all over the world are registered, including Oceania Cruises, which is registered in Marshall Islands and Royal Caribbean International is also registered in Liberia; it has the three largest cruise ships on the planet, along with 12 percent of the world's entire maritime fleet.
In 2014, The World Health Organization (WHO) track air quality at 1,622 unban area in 92 different countries, with the goal of finding which country is the world's most polluted. Pakistan's urban area was the world's most polluted, followed by Qatar, Afghanistan, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Serbia.
Of the 92 countries, Australia had the least polluted urban area, followed by Brunei and New Zealand. Liberia came in 10th place, with the world's least polluted urban areas, ahead of the United States, the U.K., Spain, and Japan.
Because Liberia is right along the coast with easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, it is the home to a number of beautiful beaches. The capital city of Monrovia is not far from several surfing beaches, however the coastal town of Robertsport offers vast stretches of deserted beaches and has been described as the greatest undiscovered surf spot in Africa.

Longtime Wholesaler Henry Brandt Co. Rebrands Itself as 'Inspirational Wholesale'
March 22, 2011 By Publisher
In business since 1966, Henry Brandt and Company is a second-generation wholesaler that had its beginnings in a garage. "My father in law, Henry Brandt, started his own business after selling his corporation," says Charles Pugh, now co-owner of the company with Henry's daughter, Anita. "A true entrepreneur, he then started this business out of his garage in Chicago," Pugh adds.
Brandt began by liquidating bank-incentive leftovers from promotions. "That led him into the wholesale business, where he met some merchandise brokers in the Chicago area," Pugh says. "On a subsequent trip to Branson, MO, he fell in love with the area and moved his business there. We then evolved into the Hallmark closeout dealer in the U.S. in the 70s and early 80s."
Flash-forward to today, and Henry Brandt is still going strong, selling to "discount and independent retailers, medium chains, and mom & pops," Pugh says. "We also export to the Caribbean and South America, and ship all over the world." Carrying more than 5,000 skus, the company's biggest seller is its extensive line of greeting cards, followed by gifts and books. "Yet for the last 16 years, our main focus has been inspirational gifts, cards, books, and jewelry," Pugh notes. We bill ourselves as the 'inspirational closeout company,'" and the company just rebranded its website as "Inspirational Wholesale." Because Henry Brandt stocks such a wide inventory, it's able to offer excellent wholesale pricing on everything. "Retailers who buy from us enjoy a tremendous amount of markup depending on their operation," Pugh says. "Sales can be very good based on our competitive pricing."
The company's ongoing success is directly traceable back to founder Henry Brandt's philosophy, which is still practiced today. "He constantly told us," says Pugh, "Always take care of the smaller customers, and treat everyone equally."

Teacher, author, and international speaker are just a few of the many titles that today's feature, Jotina Buck holds. Growing up as the youngest in a family of 12, in one of the highest crime areas of Houston, Jotina was faced with much adversity. While individuals with a similar upbringing would have been more susceptible to follow the trends of their older siblings, Jotina chose to rise above her situation and break the cycle.
Her passion to better herself mirrors her dedication to help others live a successful life. While on tour for her bestseller, Change your Language, Change your Life, she uses a powerful message "I am enough" to evoke change across the world.
Read below for more from Jotina Buck.
How was your childhood? What experiences negative or positive helped shape the person you are today?
The more I talk to people and the more I experience life, I realize that I had a pretty pleasurable childhood. Growing up, I had both parents in the home. They were married for some 35 years. My father was a minister and my mother worked alongside him in ministry, so they were very good in insuring that we had a holistic experience. However, much like any family, we did experience our share of dysfunction. Although I am the youngest of 12, I am a first generation college graduate because in my family work came before education.
Because I have siblings that are much older than I am, I experienced and saw a lot. My brothers and sisters were becoming adults at the beginning of the crack era, when crack was the new drug. Several of my siblings fell into addictions and street life. So I saw my mother battle with my siblings being in and out of jails and crack houses because addiction turns into criminal activity and that turns into being in prison. For a long time, I thought that was all there was to life. It wasn't until I started to explore different options that I saw that something else can happen for me. We are all able to make choices and some of my siblings didn't make the right choices which in the end affected my whole family.
"For a long time, I thought that was all there was to life. It wasn't until I started to explore different options that I saw that something else can happen for me"
Did you experience any insecurities growing up? If so, how did you overcome them or how are you dealing with them today?
Yeah, of course I did, as we all do. I had many insecurities because I thought for so long that my family was dysfunctional. Most of that came from going to church in a more affluent area in the suburbs where most of my peers' parents were principals and superintendents at schools. My mom and dad were entrepreneurs, they worked at home so I didn't see and experience parents going to corporate jobs every day. Because of that, I always felt inferior and I felt that those people were better than me. Also, we were the family whose lives played out in public. People knew when my brothers and sisters were on crack and they knew when one of them would go to jail.
Although my parents took really good care of us, I kind of wanted to hide my face because I thought it was shameful, when it was only all the societal things that demote success that we didn't have. At that time, I went through a phase where I took on a different identity. But I knew inside of me that there was more and that I wanted more, I just had to get out and seek it.
So amazing to see where you came from and where you are today. How do you balance your life as a teacher, philanthropist, author, and international speaker?
My biggest thing is self-care. I believe in taking moments to step away and guard your soul. This morning when I woke up, I took a moment to go and sit outside and read. It's moments like that that always bring me balance. The other day I had so much on my to-do list that I woke up thinking how am I going to make it happen. And something hit me and said don't do anything today, just take a moment and step away from it all. I like to call them "no-nothing" days. I'll take a day off and have a staycation, where I book a hotel in the city. I won't take my computer or iPad but I do bring my cell phone for emergencies. But I disconnect totally from everything. Those are the moments where I can be still and refresh and allow the universe to speak to me. And sleep!
What inspired you to write Change Your Language, Change Your Life. And what do you want your audience to take away from it?
The biggest thing that inspired me to write Change your Language, Change your Life was losing both of my parents at a very young age. I lost my father my freshman year of college, and my mother my senior year of college. Shortly after, I was quickly thrown into being a single parent and I fell into a deep depression. While in that depressed state I really could not put the pieces together. Though I've never been suicidal, I felt like I didn't want to live anymore after losing my mother and I made up my mind that I would seek therapy. My therapist suggested journaling so I started to write about what I was experiencing and I felt relief.
I was then invited to a vision board party. I created a vision board and hung it up on my wall. As time passed I started to say to myself the words that were on the vision board like peace and love and hope. And now I know that moment coupled with the work that I was willing to do literally changed my life. I talked myself to a place of healing, wholeness, and restoration. And so I took those very same journal entries and I knew that if I was experiencing these things and able to get healing by way of positive language and positive affirmations than someone else in the world must be feeling the same way.
The inspiration behind it is wanting individuals to know it does not matter how dark it gets, how low you fall, or how many times you've messed up, you have the ability to speak over yourself and literally change the trajectory of your future. I want every reader to not only walk away with that message, but also be equipped with the tools necessary to begin to put into practice positive affirmations, positive language and positive living.
What aspect of your career do you find most rewarding?
Bringing my daughter along the journey. As a single mom, we see so many things. For me, my mom was my biggest supporter and my best friend, so having my mom as that person and being able to celebrate her life by the way I parent is rewarding. My daughter is my assistant. She with me all the time and she's on payroll. So seeing her put into practice the things I'm teaching the world is most rewarding.
When I'm having my moments she's the one who reminds me of who I am. It's so rewarding to have such a massive platform and such a huge message to share with the world but it's even more rewarding to see it impacting the weight of the house.
I am currently on a book tour. I'll be heading to South Africa this coming July. I'm so excited about that but I'm even more excited about what's to come as a result of it. As a philanthropist I believe it is important to share with the world how they too can give back so I'm taking it upon myself to shoot a documentary while in South Africa this summer. It will premiere early 2017. It will highlight the importance of service, giving and serving the world at large—wherever you are. You can also look out for more programs related to soul care.

Most personal location sharing services are people oriented — the applications are designed for following specific people. For example, with Find my Friends, you can share your GPS location with selected contacts. Instead, what if a location sharing service were designed for following people's presence in a single physical space?
Recently, I built and deployed a location sharing system designed for a particular physical space to solve a specific problem. I'm part of a student group called HackMIT, and we have an office in the student center where we like to hang out. However, it's no fun to hang out in our office when nobody else is there, and it's kind of awkward to always be asking "is anyone in the office?" on Slack. So we wanted a better way of knowing when people are there. Maybe this sounds slightly ridiculous, but it's a real problem we had. Our solution was OffiX, a WiFi-based presence tracking system for our office.
Such a system that inverts traditional location tracking has some interesting properties. Based on feedback I've gotten, space-oriented systems feel less awkward to use than person-oriented systems. Furthermore, even though it's an always-on system, the space-oriented system better respects people's privacy, because their location is only shared when they're in that specific place. Plus, in our case, people's privacy is enforced by the physical limitations of the implementation: the system cannot possibly be used to track people outside the space.
Before deploying OffiX, my hypothesis was that people would visit the office a lot more often as a result of deploying the system. And luckily, it did turn out that way — OffiX actually had a pretty huge impact on the frequency of people hanging out in the office. Even when people knew the office was empty, they'd go there, knowing that others would hear about it and probably come hang out.
OffiX significantly increased office traffic, probably helped most by the Slack integration, especially the "$name is in the office!" announcements. Now I hear stories like this every so often: "I was walking by the student center, and I was going to go home, but then I saw that someone was in the office, so I went there to hang out".
As is the case with a lot of projects I work on, the source code for OffiX is available under a free software license. If you do anything cool with it, be sure to let me know!

Now, I find this important for a couple of reasons. First, one of the ways I've chosen to address this need is to provide step-by-step seasonal tea party planning guides such as my latest, "The Guide to Planning a Tea Party–Winter Edition". I can help you think through the steps needed to implement your event and provide some seasonal suggestions for the menu, decorations, music, and tea.
And as a loose-leaf tea lover and drinker in a teabag culture, I hope new visitors to TPG will catch the vision for the role TEA is meant to play in the tea party. If they spend some time here, they can learn a bit about the role tea's played in history and culture over the millennium. And hopefully they read the article, "The Top Seven Mistakes Tea Drinkers Make" or "The Tea Party's Most Important Ingredient" and give tea its proper honor at their event.
But the purpose of this article is to encourage the tea party planner to create their tea party their way. In other words, once you've mastered some of the basic information on the etiquette, table setting, and brewing of the tea, be sure to use your creative side, experiment, and have fun thinking about how your event can reflect YOU. A tea party is like a wedding in that regard. Yes, there are steps to follow, etiquette to consider, and most brides wear white. But ultimately, you want your uniqueness and heart to permeate your event.
The best event will strike a balance between the art and science, the "how to" and the "want to". Here's some examples of what I mean.
Know your style. I prefer the mix and match look. But others, with a more sophisticated style want an all-white table or all the teacups to match. Either works.
Work with your colors. I prefer pastels, cherry reds and pinks, and teal greens. I strongly dislike blue, orange and tomato red. Sometimes I have to get creative around Thanksgiving because I don't own anything in the traditional colors. Choose what you love over what you think is right.
Serve the food you want. Yes, a cucumber sandwich on white bread with cream cheese is traditional. Scones are usually always served with clotted cream and jam. Are you wanting to use your creativity to produce a beautiful and traditional afternoon tea? Then go for it! But consider food menus apart from tradition, too. How can the food add to your theme? For example, Paris-themed teas are becoming increasingly popular. Do they HAVE cucumbers in Paris? I have no idea. Do some research and plan your menu creatively. An excellent resource for ideas is Tracy Stern's Tea Party: 20 Themed Tea Parties with Recipes for Every Occasion, from Fabulous Showers to Intimate Gatherings.
Before I had any confidence to host a tea party or any event for that matter, I looked high and low for resources that would tell me exactly what to do. But the events I've enjoyed the most are the ones I've spent time creatively thinking through. How about you? Do you prefer someone else providing you a step-by-step guide? Or do you allow yourself to imagine how to bring some of your unique creativity to the event? Which method are you the most comfortable with when planning an event?
I like outlines, guidelines, and "starter" ideas, but I almost never follow anyone else's plan completely when doing anything, including party planning. I prefer that it be about 10% outline (if needed) and 90% my own originality.
Perhaps I'm showing my inner geek, but I actually just sit and think about what would make good party ideas when nothing else is going on. I keep track, write them down, and I use them or not, but I always have something "in the works". My hubby and I will head out to "window shop" at a party store just to look around at what's for sale, and we always end up with more ideas than we know what to do with from a single small toy, a pinata, or a design on a paper plate.
I love the idea of bringing all kinds of customs to tea. I plan to have tea parties each month this year, and I'm sure many of them will break with tradition! Thanks for your wonderful suggestions.
I like a variety of outlines mixed in with my own ideas. The personal touch tops it off.

Ad Music Follows Hairstyles
Farmington Hills, MI (March 6, 2009)--Yessian Music recently created an original song with agency Saatchi & Saatchi/Moscow for hair product Head & Shoulders for a commercial that will air in Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Russia.
Farmington Hills, MI (March 6, 2009)–Yessian Music recently created an original song with agency Saatchi & Saatchi/Moscow for hair product Head & Shoulders for a commercial that will air in Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Russia.
The Head and Shoulders ad opens with the VO "Hairstyles come and hairstyles go…but they all require hair…hair you can't afford to lose." The spot features a young boy growing up into adulthood with a variety of hairstyles, including disco, hippie, punk and prep versions that comically shows how Head and Shoulders products can be used by someone throughout their life and styles of hair.
The quirky yet aggressive guitar-driven rock track compliments the H&S commercial with an offbeat score supported by vocal shout-outs. "We created a track that we felt would appeal to a global audience, something that felt fresh and young–and, most importantly, fun," says Brian Yessian. "The lifestyle shots of the film takes you through various time periods of life, and we wanted to musically express the good times life throws at you."
"I used sounds and instrumentation that would be relevant to the different era vignettes, like fuzzy, punky guitars for the '60s and '70s, analog synths of the '80s, lo-fi percussion sounds from the '90s and distorted, filtered vocals that you hear on a lot of tracks today. The lyrics are 'Hey, hey baby. I said the times are changing,' which is a tiny homage to Dylan and something I thought was fitting for the spot," says composer Mark Chu.

WATCH: Israeli Forces Shoot Dead Terrorist After Stabbing Attack
AHMAD GHARABLI/AFP via Getty
Israeli security forces shot dead a Palestinian terrorist outside the Old City in Jerusalem on Saturday.
They struck after he stabbed an Israeli civilian and lunged at police officers, in what was later described by the Palestinian Foreign Ministry as a "field execution" by Israel.
CCTV footage shows the terrorist stabbing Avraham Elimelich, a 20-year-old ultra-Orthodox man, in the neck, on a street near the flashpoint Damascus Gate.
The terrorist then tried to attack police officers who shot him.
The assailant can be seen on the floor when police officers fire two additional shots.
The police video can be seen below: WARNING: Extremely Graphic
The suspect, a Palestinian who had smuggled into Israel illegally, was previously arrested for incitement to violence in 2019.
In initial videos released on social media by passersby, as well as an edited video released by the Palestinian Foreign Ministry, it looks as if the terrorist is immobilized on the floor with police officers shooting at him.
The videos prompted Israel Police to open an internal investigation.
However, both Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Public Security Minister Omer Barlev said the investigation was launched prematurely, and that a video of the entire scene released later by police proved this.
"Regarding yesterday's incident at Damascus Gate — I am glad that this time, not long after the edited Palestinian video was distributed, the full video was published by the police. I suggest to everyone: Never rush to make a judgment about the behavior of officers in complex operational situations in the face of terrorism. It's always better to wait a minute," Bennett said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting.
According to a statement released by his office, Bennett said he "fully backed" the actions of the police officers, who "took the quick and determined action against a terrorist who tried to murder an Israeli civilian."

"We cannot allow our capital city to become a hotbed of terrorism," he added.
"The full video leaves no room for doubt that they acted excellently, as is required of them in such an operational situation."
Barlev agreed that the officers acted as they were supposed to and said it was his "personal opinion that an investigation should not have been opened."

Djuma Mosque of Khiva was one of the most remarkable buildings of this city during the middle ages. It was constructed in XVII century and now this monument is referring to the most ancient mosques of Khorezm.
Djuma Mosque takes quite a large area the size of 55x46 meters. It is located along the major streets connecting the eastern and western gates of Ichan -Kala.
Former in the tenth century Arab traveler in Khorezm al-Maqdisi (al- Muqaddasi) mentioned the Djuma Mosque of Khiva and according to him this ancient mosque was demolished and in its place in 1788 the current mosque was built on the same layout. Exterior view is a little simplified, the height of its walls is 4.5 meters long and its minaret is 42 meters.
Gate of the monument is facing the front part of the north wind blowing from the north exit to the outside through two rather large light aperture arranged in the middle of the roof of the monument. Under the openings in the old mulberry tree growing local varieties "Balkhi", which provided air cleaning inside the mosque at the time, that is, our fathers and grandfathers achieved thus harmonious biosynthesis between nature and man.
It should be noted that in the old days in the courtyard of the many buildings were planted mulberry varieties "Balkhi akhere" ("akhere" - white mulberry). According to experts, mulberry requires very little water, because its roots are finding it under soil. Thus our ancestors sought the integrity and security of architectural and residential buildings, because mulberry moisture collecting around them, thereby helping to maintain balance on the distribution of soil moisture within the territory and around the building.
Djuma mosque is a one-story building with a flat roof beam, which is supported by 213 columns, arranged on a square grid of 3,15 x 3,15 meters. Mihrab of the mosque is located in the center of the southern wall. On both sides of the mihrab in the wall as usual, in order to highlight it, arranged Nishke high ceiling mikhrab parts built slightly above the overall ceiling of the mosque.
In 1996-1997, this monument was restored during the restoration of many worn columns were replaced again.

Sportonometrics #1: Football
Sportonometrics - A Series of Statistical Analysis on Sports
Do you know those people who first praise a player of their favorite team but only after a disappointing result yell that their goldfish could do better?
Or a fellow student who claims that someone is the best tennis player because they haven't lost to Federer but the current number one Novak Djokovic did? If you are done with the subjective and unfounded opinion of others but interested in how you can defend yourself against it, you're at the right place.
#1: Football
The football pitch is very well known for its opinionism, which is – at second thought – also an opinion. Common examples are a father who screams at his son while he is lobbying to get him to a better team or a hooligan who repeats a sentence where he surprisingly guesses the job of the referee's mother. It's so common that even 'experts' can't avoid it. Nearly all so-called analysts are former professional football players who can do nothing but quote irrelevant anecdotes to make their point or journalists who can only describe the general opinion about the player or club in question. So, to present all the football fans another perspective, here are five essential performance metrics before you can talk objectively about football.
Expected Goals
Expected goals is a performance metric that has already been integrated in the football vocabulary quite well. The data company Opta did obtain shots from 70000 matches and analyzed the probability that a shot would go in given the circumstances. The distance from the goal, the angle from which the shot is taken and if there are defenders between the attacker and the goal all influence the outcome of the shot and thus the value of the expected goal. For example, a penalty kick, an opportunity from 11 meters away, with no angle to the goal and no defenders in between, has a value of 0.79. In other words, there is a 79 percent chance that a penalty will be scored.
The first usage is to show the effectiveness of the best strikers in the world. Since 2014, Lionel Messi scored 22 percent more than he should have been, compared to 5 percent outperformance of Cristiano Ronaldo.

It also gives a much clearer representation of the chances created of the two teams, because a great result should not immediately show the quality of the chances. That will bring us to an implementation of the expected goals: Expected points.
A couple of weeks ago, PSV lost to Willem II by 2-1. But looking at the expected goals, PSV should have scored 3.12 goals and Willem II only 0.18 goal. Expected points is pretty straightforward and calculates the chance that a team will win or draw given the difference in expected goals. Therefore, PSV will receive nearly three expected points as opposed to zero real points. This will create a new league table, based on expected points.
This is for example the current expected league table of the Premier League:
But there is a downfall by using the expected goal metric.There should first be a shot before the expected goal analysis can be made. For example, a through pass for a striker in front of an empty goal that won't be touched won't count for the expected goals. Therefore, expected assists would be a great replacement.
Expected Assists
Like an expected goal, an expected assist measures the chance that a pass into a certain area will be converted into an assist. Therefore, the type of pass, the position where the pass is played and where the pass is received are taken into account. The great upside is that there shouldn't be a shot to get an expected assist. Seeing from this statistical point of view, you unfortunately won't see this amazing famous assist of Busquets at the top of the expected assist chart.
Little touch of Busquets around the halfway line Solo goal of Messi with a dribble past six defenders
But again, there is again a downside because of the chances that aren't preceded by a pass, like a penalty. And surprisingly, Ronaldo overperformed with giving 17 percent more assist than expected, opposed to an ten percent underperformance of Messi. However, this can be misleading by the fact that he assisted nearly three times as much (and anyone who is thinking that I am a subjective Messi fan can read this article). https://www.givemesport.com/1512219-study-shows-lionel-messi-is-statistically-nearly-three-times-better-than-any-other-footballer https://www.theperspective.com/debates /sports/messi-ronaldo-truly-best/
https://www.infogol.net/en/player/cristiano-ronaldo/1892
Expected Threat
And even with all these, there are still players that are undervalued because the immediate actions aren't visible such as a pre-assist (a pass that precedes an assist), pre-pre assist, etcetera. Therefore, expected threat is introduced. For every location on the pitch, there is a certain chance that a ball in that area will ultimately convert into a goal. Therefore, by passing or dribbling to a more threatening area, a player contributes to the chance of scoring. That's what expected threat is all about.
Already in 2011, it was invented with the use of Markov Chains ( https://karun.in/blog/expected-threat.html ). However, it is still only used in the Premier League and the Champions league, so it is too little used to be widely accepted.
Field Tilt
The last statistical metric is a specific kind of ball possession. Because ball possession gives a distorted view of who is the dominant side, field tilt only counts the amount of passes in the last third of the pitch of each side. This will give a better view of which teams are playing near the opponents goal.
This table clearly shows the conservative approach of both Tottenham and England and the huge difference in playing style when Real Madrid is losing.
That is the beautiful point of all these metrics: While watching football, you already have a feeling who is the best finisher, should have won, gives the most assists, progresses the ball the most or is the most dominant. These metrics only make your gut feelings concrete. How these metrics are used to recruit players will be discussed in the next article. But for now, you know how you could have a content-related discussion with friends.

Organizational culture. What is it and why does it matter so much? One of my favorite team culture descriptions comes from Richard Perrin: "Organizational Culture is the sum of values and rituals which serve as 'glue' to integrate the members of an organization." The reason I love this definition is that it speaks to both the WHAT (rituals) and the WHY (values) of team culture in the workplace.
When team members of an organization feel safe, valued and aligned with the company's overall vision and mission, the glue that holds them together is strong. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the positive impact that culture has on efficiency and productivity!
How do we take intentional action toward creating a positive team culture?
Create space and opportunities for your team and members of your organization to connect outside of formal meetings. A study conducted by MIT's Human Dynamics Laboratory found that the energy and engagement level of a team can be greatly increased by simply structuring coffee breaks so that all members of the team can break together.
Deal directly with policies, processes and people that propagate negative experiences that are destructive to a healthy culture. Though this is far from pleasant and desirable, the consequences of addressing issues with a passive, or blanket approach – or worse yet ignoring them – are far greater than the discomfort of tackling them quickly and head on. A productive way to approach these difficult situations is through meeting facilitation, which we offer at sparkspace. Our expert facilitators can help you and your team smoothly navigate any conflicts or issues.
Empower your people. Nothing builds trust like providing your people with the direction and resources they need to be successful and then giving them the space to do what they were hired to do. This doesn't mean you have to be totally hands-off. It means you allow people to do their thing and serve as more of a guide, rather than their (micro)manager.
In what ways have you effectively created and/or strengthened the culture where you serve, work and lead? Please share with us by commenting on this blog post. In addition, plan your next offsite meeting or retreat with us here at sparkspace.
Mike is the Lead Facilitator at sparkspace. He guides individuals and teams to greater awareness and clarity around where they are, the vision of where they most want to be and how to navigate the journey. He is an experienced team coach with a facilitation style that makes everyone feel safe to contribute. His upbeat personality adds to the fun of your meeting as well!

Thanks to Narin for the news.
Yes, that's how awesome my PC is.
It doesn't support the audio plugin.
I was getting about 15fps on average on my 650Mhz P3. I'm sure any modern computer would get near full speed most of the time.
Hey Destructobot I am just curious but when you were playing was the audio plugin working.
I wasn't playing, I just ran it for a minute to get a couple of screenshots. I didn't have my speakers on so I don't know if there was audio or not.

The 2019 year health care fraud exposed wide concern, the gala old acquaintance of Cai Ming and Pan Changjiang will partner with Joe fir, Zhai Tianlin, for the audience in a disclosure health care fraud "sketch" son "to the" in recent years, appear not much comedy jorum Ge You portrait join them the Spring Festival debut.
As the evergreen tree of the gala, Cai Ming has appeared in the Spring Festival evening for nearly 30 years. In recent years, Cai Ming and Pan Changjiang acting sketch, left a "poison tongue Queen" impression for the audience, and appeared tonight Gala Cai Ming changed the sketch characters, turned trusting health care fraud victims.
Show the biggest surprise, is playing the sketch "son" who was actually out of the screen for ge. In the sketch, a windbreaker style appearance of Ge You, broke the good little people the impression that the customary image as an elderly health care fraud swindlers. He is willing to cheat money, Cai Ming Pan Changjiang, "old" the son, with super fraud operation if the two old people will Piandetuantuan turn, a glib liar was vivid.
Ge You said, the audience may first think of is "the story of editorial department" in Li Dongbao, and then the hair Ge You created the quite a sense of justice magazine editor, not as "human guide". The sitcom "I love my home" when shooting, although Ge You only appeared in Episode Two, but he played the "inventor" Ji Chunsheng "also reached a play not to speak make people laugh" effect. Many years later, "Ge You paralysis" overnight Huobian network, even that pink Ge You wore a flower large waistcoat unexpectedly became a "red net".
Although Ge You in the television drama role is funny play, but his name was not linked and surreal. "1997 in the past, I miss it." This is the year of new year's film "Party B" in Ge You. That year, Ge officially opened his surreal road. Since then, Ge You will bring a new year film for the audience almost at the end of every year, he from the "Party B" in the "Yao Yuan" into Be There Or Be Square in Liu Yuan, "endless" in Han Dong, "known" and "especially in If You Are The One" in Qin fen...... Until 2013 years, and the "Party B" of the "private custom" different approaches but equally satisfactory results after the release, Ge You did not continue until now "new year".
Tonight's "sketch" son "to the" in fact is also known as "Ge You", who would have thought that this popular on both sides of the Changjiang River generation comedian, was over sixty years before the first boarded the CCTV gala. In fact, as early as 2014, Ge You had started pilot film "Spring Festival Gala is seen in what" in the year of the CCTV Spring Festival gala. He said that his movies, but also play pieces not, did not expect 5 years after Ge You is really standing in the stage of staged a sketch.
"Ge uncle" comedy skill well known, but the stage comedy film and all are very different, such as the Spring Festival stage more master blows. Ge You said in an interview that he is "new", in fact, very nervous. But before the rehearsal, Ge You did not stage fright, point hit, baggage can sound, formal performance "tonight's laughter, we will wait and see. Ge You's Spring Festival debut, the Spring Festival has become one of the most anticipated.
Again "witness a miracle" who gave Louis Liu as "child care"
In 2009, Louis Liu debut in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which has become known to every family magician, the magic to the gala. Since then, Louis Liu in 2010 years, 2012 years and three times in 2013 years on the Spring Festival gala. After a lapse of six years, Louis Liu with a "magic pot" regression, show the magic and charm of magic, even he said this is the most wonderful personal magic, presumably broadcast in "witness the miracle of the moment", will set off a wave of secret magic boom. Without John Qing Dong, tonight to Louis Liu as "child care" and who will?
The Spring Festival Gala staged Ge You lay, "seat" sketch inversion amazing party 5 highlights.


Where ever this young man Julio Jones decides to go to for college (we'll know this Wednesday on national signing day), its football program will be greatly improved because of him. Here's to hoping, no praying, he ends up a Seminole. Come on Bobby Bowden, work that country magic on his momma. If we don't get him, please Lord let him go easy on us if and when we have to play against him.
Be sure to watch the last part where they outline the missed tackles he creates in the open. Simply amazing.
