No Such Thing as a Typical Day As a geology summer research assistant in Crete, Greece, no two days were the same for Chantal Iosso '20.
By Lindsey Nair
"This experience will probably lead me to do more research in the future, likely with some of the skills I've acquired this summer."

Chantal Iosso in Crete, Greece, where she and fellow students helped Professor Jeffrey Rahl collect rock samples this summer.
Hometown: Falls Church, Virginia
Majors: Geology and Environmental Studies
Q: What did you do for the summer?
My summer opportunity involved a total of 10 weeks of work with Professor Jeffrey Rahl in the Geology Department. First, we spent two weeks in Crete collecting 12 samples of peridotites and serpentinites from the uppermost unit. These rocks used to be part of the floor of an ocean that closed as the African plate subducted beneath the island. For the other eight weeks, back in Lexington, I analyzed the crystallographic preferred orientation of minerals in these samples, which will provide more information about the deformation history of the uppermost unit. This research was funded by a Mellon Grant and the R. Preston Hawkins IV Geology Award.
Q: What was your favorite part of working in Greece?
It's difficult to pick what I liked best. The island is beautiful: beaches that lead to crystal clear water, dramatic topography with gorges and mountains, clear blue skies. On a more academic note, it was amazing to see such a variety of rock types in such a small area, all telling the story of plate movements and terrain millions of years ago. On the first day, we drove through four different units right next to each other which tracked the closing of an ancient ocean.
Q: What did an average day for you look like?
One of the best things about this research was that there wasn't really an average day; I did a huge variety of different things. While we were in the field in Crete, the typical day started with data logging from the previous day at breakfast. Then we'd consult our maps, hop in the van, and drive to an outcrop.
Once we arrived, we used our hammers and chisels to extract samples, and we used our hand lenses to try to identify whether the sample was sufficient for our needs. If it was, we'd take some photos, jot down the orientation of the sample, and bag it. Then we'd go back to the maps and the van, and lather, rinse, repeat until dinner, which usually involved gyros and some fantastic sunset views over beautiful blue water.
Back in Lexington, I spent a few days slicing the rocks into chips on the rock saw. While waiting for the chips to be processed and polished, I read articles and got ready to interpret my samples. Once my samples returned, I'd use the scanning electron microscope and electron backscatter diffraction technique to analyze them.
Q: What was the biggest challenge you faced?
The rocks I am studying are part of an ophiolitic complex, or section of ocean floor that has been emplaced on land, on Crete. Outcroppings of this complex are relatively rare. Additionally, the papers that we were using to guide us to the outcroppings often didn't have roads marked on the map, and the road map didn't have outcroppings marked, so trying to find the roads to the outcroppings proved a challenge.
Another problem: The rocks I'm studying, peridotites, easily weather at the earth's surface and can undergo serpentinization, which uses up the minerals of interest. This meant that once we found the outcrop, we had to search for a relatively unaffected sample. There were some days that we spent more than eight hours searching and only gathered one or two samples. However, we did manage to get a few good samples that will provide interesting data. Having succeeded despite the difficulty makes the results even more rewarding.
Q: Who served as a mentor to you this summer, and what was the best thing they taught you?
Professor Rahl also taught my introductory geology class, so between that and this summer's research, most of what I know about geology comes from him. This summer in particular I learned a lot about mineral identification and lab tools, such as the EBSD, from him.
Q: Has this experience impacted your studies or future plans in any way?
As a sophomore, I'm not entirely sure where I will be headed three years from now, but this summer's experience provided useful insight in geology research. This experience will probably lead me to do more research in the future, likely with some of the skills I acquired this summer.
Q: Why is this kind of experience important to W&L students?
In-depth research over the summer adds dimension to a specific subcategory of geology that even an advanced class can't provide. The amount of background reading and the hands-on elements result in more learning, which results in more questions and then even more learning. And of course, working close to a professor is extremely educational. Going to Crete doesn't hurt either!

The FDA would gladly see half of the American people die while they consider and reconsider for years approving some drug, in order to establish the proposition that the FDA and only the FDA has the bureaucratic say-so to determine when and how a drug can be marketed.
And, to prove that I'm not making that up, the FDA a few days ago issued its ruling on a new drug application from a company called BioMarin for a drug called Kyndrisa intended for the treatment of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. The ruling is that the company has not yet submitted sufficient proof that the drug is effective to satisfy the FDA. Tests must continue, unless the company gives up. Oh, meanwhile there is no approved treatment whatsoever for this disease. It arises from a genetic defect limited to boys. About one boy in 3500 gets it, meaning about 500 new cases per year in the U.S. It is 100% fatal. Typically, the boy is in a wheelchair by his early teens and dead somewhere between the ages of 20 and 30.
Kathryn Wagner, a leading Duchenne physician at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, says she plans to speak in favor of the Sarepta drug at the coming FDA meeting. She said she has seen patients benefit from the drug in clinical trials.
Instead, the problem is that the disease is rare enough and serious enough that it is very difficult to get sufficient numbers of patients into the clinical trials to meet the FDA's standards of "statistical significance." (One of the clinical trials for the drug Dr. Wagner was discussing is reported in the Journal article to have only 12 patients in each of the treatment and control groups.) So the bureaucrat's answer is obvious: the trials will continue -- and continue, and continue, and continue -- until our standard for establishing our prerogative and maintaining our fiefdom has been met. Meanwhile, thousands of innocent boys and young men become crippled and die unnecessarily? What does that matter, when bureaucratic control is at stake?
The central problem with off-label drug use is that we have an information deficit. When the FDA approves a drug for on-label use, that approval is based on scientifically valid and statistically significant evidence that says, we are going to give you a drug, which is potentially dangerous, but it is likely that the benefits outweigh the risks. We know that because we have studied the drug in a controlled environment. That information is simply not available with off-label use.
Over 70% of off-label prescriptions used are not based on scientific evidence or significant scientific evidence.2 That's a real problem because all drugs have a risk of serious side effects, and patients shouldn't be exposing themselves to risk without evidence that a drug will be effective. . . .
So not only are patients using drugs we don't know are safe and effective, but we are not getting good feedback to inform future practice. . . . How do we balance patient access with preventing harm, and what role should the FDA play?
The whole approach is based on the dead-wrong idea that an elite can achieve perfect knowledge and make better decisions than individuals acting in their own interest. Could a guy fancy enough to have both law and medicine degrees not know that all important human decisions are based on imperfect information and involve some degree of risk? The answer is yes. And it's not just Mr. Abbott, and not just the pooh-bahs at the FDA who keep drugs off the market while thousands die, but the entire federal bureaucracy that has bought into this narrative.


// we use ScreenUnits, so 0.1 means width and height are both 10% of the screen.
I'm not exactly sure what you want to know with your second question. What do you want to do exactly? Do you want to save values to disk to access them the next time you play, or do you want to save them to disk for testing purposes or something like that?
BTW: You'll have to register on the forum to reply, because guests can't write in the forum. But the forum is for discussions like these, while the blog comments are really just for comments on the blog.

Knife in the Water
Roman Polanski's first feature is a brilliant psychological thriller that many critics still consider among his greatest work. The story is simple, yet the implications of its characters' emotions and actions are profound. When a young hitchhiker joins a couple on a weekend yacht trip, psychological warfare breaks out as the two men compete for the woman's attention. A storm forces the small crew below deck, and tension builds to a violent climax. With stinging dialogue and a mercilessly probing camera, Polanski creates a disturbing study of fear, humiliation, sexuality, and aggression. This remarkable directorial debut won Polanski worldwide acclaim, a place on the cover of Time, and his first Oscar nomination.

In hip hop music, political hip hop, or political rap, is a form developed in the 1980s, inspired by 1970s political preachers such as The Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron. Public Enemy were the first political hip hop group to gain commercial success. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five released the first sociopolitical rap song in 1982, named "The Message", which inspired many rappers to address social and political topics.

Iraq protesters rally for one of their own to become PM
AFP , Sunday 16 Feb 2020
Hundreds of Iraqis rallied Sunday to support a protest leader they want as prime minister instead of current premier-designate Mohammad Allawi, who they see as too close to the ruling class.
Appointed on February 1, Allawi has pledged to announce his cabinet lineup within the week even as he faces ongoing protests against his nomination -- and a new contender.
In the shrine city of Karbala, dozens of students took to the streets carrying photos of Alaa al-Rikaby, a pharmacist who has emerged as a prominent activist in the protest hotspot of Nasiriyah, further south.
"We're here to show our support for Alaa al-Rikaby, the candidate of the people!" said Seif al-Hasnawy, a 20-year-old student.
Rikaby, who has a round face and closely-trimmed beard, began demonstrating in early October alongside others fed up with rampant corruption, lack of jobs and poor public services.
He has since risen to local fame with a series of videos posted on Twitter to his tens of thousands of followers, discussing politics and a path forward for the otherwise leaderless anti-government movement.
In one video last week, he asked protesters who gather at squares across the country to show whether they would back him for the post of prime minister, in a novel approach for a political nomination in Iraq.
"If the people decide so, I'd accept," he said in his latest video on Thursday.
"This post has no value as such for me. I don't see it as a prize, but rather as a huge responsibility," said Rikaby, who has a tent pitched in central Nasiriyah targeted in a recent stun grenade attack.
In Karbala, university student Hassan Qazwini told AFP: "We protesters have numerous demands, and one of them is an independent prime minister without ties to parties -- like Alaa al-Rikaby."
Before Rikaby, Faeq al-Sheikh Ali, a liberal critic of the ruling class, also declared himself a candidate but has not received mass public or political backing.
Allawi was nominated on February 1 as a consensus candidate among Iraq's fractured political parties but has only been publicly endorsed by cleric Moqtada Sadr, who has a cult-like following across the country.
Since the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein, cabinets have been formed through a sectarian power-sharing system, leading to widespread horsetrading among various sects and parties.
Iraq's Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish factions are likely to hold on tight to their shares of posts in the outgoing cabinet and aim to carry them over into the next lineup.
Allawi has until March 2 to form a government and Iraqi officials have quietly expressed scepticism that he would be able to complete it in time.
But in a surprising tweet on Saturday, Allawi said he would be ready to submit a cabinet to parliament within the week for a vote of confidence.
Parliament is officially in recess until mid-March and the house speaker, Mohammed Halbusi, has not yet scheduled an extraordinary session.

Olympian Jillian Weir proud of Mohawk heritage
Story by Jeff Gard/Total Sports Media
Canadian Olympic hammer thrower Jillian Weir has never lived on Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, but she's certainly proud of her heritage.
Weir's family has a diverse background, she noted during a recent interview with Total Sports.
Her father Robert Weir – a three-time Olympian – is British and his parents are Jamaican while her mother Kim Armstrong is Canadian with generations of women before her coming from the Mohawk territory.
"That's where my Indigenous background comes from," Weir remarked, adding that her great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother are Mohawk. "It's from my mom's side."
One of Weir's middle names, Lydia, comes from her great-great-grandmother Lydia Brandt, a former Tyendinaga resident.
"My great-grandmother and my great-great-grandmother were born and raised and lived there in Tyendinaga their whole lives," Weir said.
Weir is a registered member with Tyendinaga Territory and Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, "but I have never lived in Ontario." She grew up in California and later trained and lived in Alberta. Her mother grew up in Napanee and her grandparents later moved to Perth. She still has family in the Kingston area.
Weir, now 28, embraces her Mohawk heritage and always enjoyed learning about it from her grandparents and other family members.
"I feel like that instilled some strength in me and some resilience so I'm definitely proud to represent the Mohawk nation and it's a privilege to be able to compete at the Olympics and have some representation for our Tribe on the world stage," Weir said.
Her dad, Robert Weir, competed in the hammer throw at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. He went on to play five seasons in the Canadian Football League with the Hamilton Tiger Cats, Ottawa Rough Riders and Toronto Argonauts.
During his time in Canada he met Jillian's mother. He returned to the Olympics in 1996 and 2000 to compete in discus.
"Growing up I knew my dad was an athlete, I knew he was a track coach and I spent lots of time around track and field and watching him coach and watching him compete," Weir said. "I've got vague memories of my childhood. In 1996 I was only three-years-old, but our family did go to watch my dad compete in the Olympics. In 2000, I was a little bit older, seven at the time, and same thing, our family was able to go and watch my dad compete.
"I have just always been around track and field and there was never a question in my mind that I wanted to pursue athletics at its highest level."
Funny enough, Weir's father never taught her the hammer throw. She played water polo, basketball, softball and even joined her middle school wrestling team just because her brother did.
"In school I wasn't one of the biggest or strongest kids, I would say I was on the smaller side. Typically track and field throwers are known to be these big, strong athletes," Weir said. "My dad never looked at me when I was younger and thought 'Okay, she's going to be a hammer thrower.' He just encouraged me to play all different sports and no matter what he was happy for me to be active."
Weir excelled in shot put and discus in high school and earned a scholarship to the University of Oregon. That's where she learned the hammer throw.

"My dad looks back now and says 'Well, if I knew you'd be this good, I wish I would've taught you when you were younger,'" she said. "My first Canadian national team was at the World Junior Championships and I competed in the shot put so my first international competition experience wasn't even in the hammer throw. The hammer came later and I just got better and better and eventually I surpassed the level I was at in the shot put and discus and ended up focusing on the hammer."
Weir has now competed at several big events, including world championships, Pan-Am Games and Commonwealth Games.
She was hoping to make an impression and leave her mark at the 2017 World Championships in London, but it didn't go her way. She didn't register a legal throw.
"That was tough because I got there and I was excited to compete and be at one of my first major global competitions and I didn't end up getting a mark," Weir said. "That was tough, but it didn't stop me from wanting to continue to improve."
Her personal-best throw so far is 72.50 metres. The hammer weighs 8.8 pounds.
Weir trained for the Olympics at the University of Missouri, where her dad is a coach and she is volunteer coach.

Weir competed in Tokyo in the women's hammer throw qualification round on Aug. 1 and placed 11th win a best attempt of 68.68 metres. She didn't advance to the final round, but was proud to be representing the Mohawk territory.
"I think representation is huge in any way so to be I think Canada's first Indigenous hammer thrower competing at the Olympics, that in itself I want to show young Indigenous youth that you can do anything," Weir said.
"As long as you keep putting your best foot forward and you work hard, you can reach the Olympic stage or reach the highest level of whatever you want to do whether that's in sports or education or you pick a different career path. It means a lot to be able to represent the Mohawks and the Tyendinaga Territory at the Olympics."

Lachlan McBain (1716-1818)

Kay's engraving of McBain singing his sales song
51] Lachlan McBain (1716-1818) had served as a soldier in the Royal Scots Fusiliers, taking part in the defeat of Prince Charles at Culloden. On his discharge he made a living by manufacturing toasting forks and fly-jacks – metal devices for cooking meat over an open fire. He acquired notoriety in the city by advertising his wares in a loud voice, singing a 'roasting toasting ditty'. By doing this outside the windows of the Law Courts in Parliament Square, he upset the lawyers to such an extent that they felt obliged to pay Lachlan a sum of money for which he promised not to let his voice come within hearing of the Courts in future. The next day he turned up with a loud bell to announce his wares and received an additional douceur to refrain from further visits, which this time he observed. Lachlan caused similar annoyance to William Creech, bookseller in the Luckenbooths, who, being a baillie, was able to bring an action against him. At the hearing before the magistrates Lachlan was able to produce his discharge papers from the army which asserted his right to pursue his calling in any city except Oxford or Cambridge and the complaint was dismissed. To get his revenge Lachlan continued to call his wares with renewed vigour outside Creech's shop until the poor man was forced to follow the lawyers' example and buy Lachlan off. At the age of ninety seven Lachlan who had fallen on hard times was admitted to the Charity Workhouse where he was caught having an amorous affair with the old nurse of the establishment who was twenty years younger. As a result both were expelled from the workhouse. They got married and Lachlan spent his last days supported by his wife. He died in 1818 aged 102. Kay has produced a second etching of Lachlan, made after his discharge from the workhouse, which shows a pathetic bent old man still trying to sell his wares.

Cutting-Edge Research on Repair of Spinal Cord Injuries Presented in Journal of Neurotrauma
Exciting advances in the research effort to develop and refine novel techniques for repairing injured spinal cords have led to promising strategies for regenerating damaged neural tissue, inhibiting scar tissue formation, repairing underlying molecular defects, and restoring function, which are presented and evaluated in a special four-part compendium of papers in the March/April 2006 double Spinal Cord issue (Volume 23, Number 3/4) of Journal of Neurotrauma, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
Stem Cell Technology Gives Hope in Spinal Cord Injuries
Recent research using stem-cell technology in rats with spinal-cord injuries has allowed them to walk again within two weeks. The results of the study show promise for people with traumatic spinal-cord injuries.
According to lead author Dr. Stephen Davies, assistant professor of neurosurgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston the rats were given immature immune system support cells called astrocytes and this resulted in a 40-percent rise in nerve-fiber growth at the site of the injury in only eight days.
Purdue researchers work on drug to relieve spinal cord injuries
Purdue University researchers are working to develop a drug that could reverse some spinal cord injuries as well as other neurological traumas.
Richard Borgens, founder of the Center for Paralysis Research and a leader of the team, said the team got the idea for the new drug after discovering that a blood pressure medication called hydralazine can act as an antidote to acrolein, a poison that damaged nerve cells release to destroy themselves.
Spinal Cord Injury Repaired By New Type of Stem Cells
New Type of Cells Repair Injuries
Researchers have found that transplanting a certain type of immature support cell from the Central Nervous System could regenerate more than 60% of the nerves that are damaged after a spinal cord injury. Amazingly, two thirds of the nerve fibers grew all the way through the injury sites eight days later.
This is more promising than previous research, according to the University of Rochester researchers in New York. Rats that received the cell transplants also walked normally after two weeks.
Adult stem cell surgery may have teen walking again
WAVERLY, Ill. (BP)–Jacki Rabon was riding with some friends in the back of an SUV in August 2003 when she was thrown out of the vehicle as it veered off the road. She skidded a few feet and landed near a ditch, and her life was suddenly changed.
"Right away, I knew I couldn't feel my legs because I couldn't get up," Rabon, 18, told Baptist Press. "I went to sit up and then my back hurt too bad to sit up, so I knew something was wrong."
She was rushed to one hospital and then another, where she underwent emergency surgery to repair the damage. Her mother had to break the news to Rabon that she was paralyzed.
"I knew there was a possibility before I had surgery, but I asked her after surgery if the doctor fixed it, and that's when she told me that he fixed my back but I still was paralyzed," she said.
Stem-Cell Tech Improves Spinal-Cord Injury
WASHINGTON, DC, United States (UPI) — A new stem-cell technology has allowed rats with spinal-cord injuries to walk again within two weeks, an advance that could one day help people with traumatic spinal-cord injuries.
The rats that were given immature immune system support cells, or astrocytes, experienced a 40-percent rise in nerve-fiber growth at the site of the injury in just eight days.
Bladder Management, Age Tied To Urinary Stones In Men With Spinal Injury
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A variety of factors, including age at injury and type of bladder drainage, appear to influence the risk of urinary stone formation in men with spinal cord injury, Korean researchers report in the April issue of the British Journal of Urology International.
Dr. Hong B. Shim of Seoul Veterans Hospital and colleagues note that recent medical advances have greatly increased survival in such patients. However, they are Prone to urological complications, particularly stone formation.
Paralysis Cure Worth Waiting For
Every time I turn around I seem to read about some paralyzed person who's traveled to a far-flung country for a miracle treatment not available in the United States. "I can now wiggle a toe! I'm improving!" they exclaim.
Meanwhile, I stay put in my wheelchair, albeit restlessly, in Charleston. Having been paralyzed from the shoulders down since suffering a C3 contusion injury to my neck in 1996, you might ask what the heck I'm waiting for. Am I a masochist? Possibly. But have you ever read a follow-up story about long-term Functional gains achieved by one of these treatments? If none come to mind, it's not because you have a bad memory.
Teen's injury mirrors Reeve's
Although his spinal cord injury is similar to that of Christopher Reeve, Ben Trockman has shown "phenomenal" strength, courage and attitude, his father said.
Trockman, 17, of Evansville, suffered a broken neck March 19 during a motorcycle crash in Poole, Ky. He now is in the Shepherd Center, a catastrophic-care Rehabilitation hospital in Atlanta.

Female Directors Stand Up For Their Sister Directors In A Big Way
Jeryl Brunner Contributor
This past December when the Golden Globe nominations were announced, not one single woman was nominated for Best Director. Then the trend continued with all-male nominees at the DGA Awards and the Academy Awards.
(From left) Actress Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie and director Debra Granik on the set of the film... [+] Leave No Trace
Scott Green/Bleecker Street Media
In fact, Academy Award nominations for female directors have been scarce. In the entire history of the Oscars just five women (yes, five!) have been nominated in the Best Director Category since 1929. Those women were Lina Wertmüller for Seven Beauties (1977) Jane Campion for The Piano (1994) Sofia Coppola for Lost in Translation (2004) Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker (2010) and Greta Gerwig for Lady Bird (2018).
So when the DGA Award Nominees were recently announced with this omission, a group of female directors began to ask "What is wrong with this picture?"
They took action.
Director Ramaa Mosely, (Lost Child) sent an email to 50 of her female director colleagues questioning the continuing absence of women in the best director category. She was confused. Why did this occur, especially since there were several solid, critically acclaimed films by women this year? Email threads began to circulate between colleagues. They pooled their resources, created a fierce grass roots movement and launched a Money Pool to place an ad in the trades. They raised over $16,000 in four days.
"Our goal was to bring more exposure to female directors who had critically acclaimed films in 2018," said director and actress Regina King, a member of the group. Just this month, King won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk. In her impactful acceptance speech she vowed to hire 50% women on the projects she produces. (King is also nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.)
Spearheaded by directors Hanelle M. Culpepper, Paige Morrow Kimball and Kimberly McCullough, the group went through a methodical non-biased process to carefully choose the directors and films they would honor in the ad.
A grass roots group of directors created this ad to honor their sister directors who were overlooked... [+] this awards season.
Friends and Supporters of Women Directors
"Choosing the films to honor was the hardest part of the experience," said director Hanelle Culpepper, (Star Trek: Discovery). "Ultimately, we wanted to use a process that others could replicate. It's not our opinion of which films were over-looked, it's a consensus of data. We researched films that showed up on several "best of" lists, and used their Meta-critic and Rotten Tomatoes scores."
The group decided on 16 female-directed films and asked graphic designer, Rob White, to create the ad (featured above). They bought a full page in Variety and the DGA Awards Tribute Program. Their mission was to "honor the artistry" of the listed female directors and their films that were overlooked this awards season.
The Grass Roots group of directors calls themselves "Friends and Supporters of Women Directors". When the ad was published in Variety earlier this week, it created a buzz on social media. In a sense they took their cue from Margaret Mead who famously said "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
"Representation matters," said The Conners director Kimberly McCullough, who is also known for her long-time acting role, playing Robin Scorpio on General Hospital. "Whether it is in the entertainment industry, a board room or congress. For the first time, these inequities are being discussed in the main stream."
"The problem is systemic," adds director Paige Morrow Kimball (Sesame Street). "It starts with the lack of opportunities given to female feature directors on large budgeted films. Smaller films don't have the marketing dollars behind them to get them seen and voted for. It's an un-level playing field."
"The only standard of judgment for a director's work should be quality, not gender," said Bull director Bethany Rooney, who co-chairs the DGA Diversity Task Force. "The day will come, hopefully soon, when the gender of the director is irrelevant. But we're not there yet."
Jeryl Brunner: Can you talk more about what specifically inspired the ad?
Hanelle Cullpepper: When I saw the nominations for the DGA awards, I got a knot in my gut. I am a director of color, so I was thrilled to see the male directors of color were nominated. But I was still in disbelief that no women were on the list. I'm on an email list with 50 other women directors. One woman mentioned her disappointment and that led to all of us echoing the sentiment.
Brunner: What do you hope to achieve with the ad?
Paige Morrow Kimball: We want to make some noise and create awareness. There is an unconscious bias that exists in our industry. We have all become so used to seeing all-male directors nominated year after year. Unless we point out the inequities that exist in our industry and stand together boldly, change will not happen.
Kimberly McCullough: For the first time, these inequities are being discussed in the main stream and I feel that it is my responsibility to use any privilege I have to forward this conversation.
Brunner: What has to happen in the Hollywood system in order to achieve this change?
Bethany Rooney: We women need to band together to make it clear: gender disparity in this leadership position is no longer acceptable.
Culpepper: [We need] awareness of the problem and outspoken women leaders in our industry to lead the charge. When key actresses spoke up, #MeToo took on a new level.
Kimball: Real change starts with people with hiring power taking a stand like the 4% Challenge, which calls for industry groups to commit to hiring one female director in the next 18 months. It's sad that we even need these initiatives in 2019. But we definitely do!
Brunner: What is the next step?
McCullough: The next step is a commitment — starting with this group of female directors. And hopefully it will lead to a larger group of influential people in the film industry to dedicate themselves to make opportunity available where previously there was none. In an industry dedicated to storytelling, authenticity is what resonates with audiences and it cannot be achieved without equal representation.

Smart Hubs – What Smart Hub is the smart choice for you?
It may be a foregone conclusion that you need a Smart Hub to automate your home. There are a couple of big players: Wink, SmartThings and AppleHomeKit.
However, you may not need a Smart Hub at all.
Here's how to decide which Smart Hub (if ANY) is right for you.
No Smart Hub – At All?
You only need to control lights: Philips Hue could be a great (albeit slightly more expensive) solution for your Smart Home. With their Dimmers and Motion Sensors, you can do almost anything you could do with more generic options and a Smart Hub (like Wink).
Even if you want to add something, for example, a Smart Lock for your front door, you still may not need a Smart Hub. You could even use something like IFTTT or Stringify.
If you only have a couple of items you want to automate, a Amazon Echo or Google Home may be the right way to go.
The growing list of smart home products that work with Amazon Alexa and Google Home is pretty amazing.
One small catch: Google Home or Amazon Alexa don't PUSH anything. You can only tell Alexa or Home what to do via voice. The Echo won't tell you that the garage door opened. At least not yet… (Amazon and Google both say they are working on notifications).
Bonus: Check out the best smart plugs. Many of them already work with Amazon Echo and Google Home.
Should you buy an Amazon Echo or Google Home?
The Wink Hub 2 is the only smart hub that I'd recommend. Read my full Wink Hub 2 Review. It's the worthy successor to the original Wink Hub, which won over Home Automation enthusiasts that weren't going to start programming to have a smart home.
The easy-to-use interface allows pretty powerful customization, but it's not without it's limitations.
If you've got an iPhone, iPad or AppleTV – you already have a quasi-Smart Home Hub in your pocket. Apple HomeKit has some automation capabilities, but in my opinion, it isn't quite right for prime time. See some of the Apple HomeKit Compatible Products.
I kid, I kid. There's nothing wrong with Samsung SmartThings. In fact, if you own a Samsung Phone, you'd probably like the SmartThings Hub.
It's a bit more complicated than the Wink Hub, but many people like it. If you are in for a bit of an adventure (or just want more control), check out SmartThings.


'What If' Part 12: Why is Self-Awareness the Key to Health?
The reason you are ill is because you are 'unaware' of something about yourself?
The secret to healing is to become aware of what it is you're unaware of?!
An eye-opening free series on the cause (and solution) to illness.
In this episode we look at how self-awareness is one of the BIGGEST keys and secrets to healing.
When I was ill and seeking for solutions to chronic physical symptoms which no-one seemed to be able to help me with, I tried over 250 therapies, as well as conventional doctors and specialists.
After years of searching I discovered that whilst food is important and will make a difference, the biggest cause of illness had NOTHING to do with what I ate.
What if part 11: Why Does Wanting To Get Well Keep You Sick?
"After a few years of being chronically unwell, I realized I must be asking the wrong question. Instead of asking 'when am I going to get well?' I started asking 'what do I need to CHANGE to get well'"?
Why is it that wanting to get well, and resolve your health problems, can keep you sick? Doesn't that sound a bit counter-intuitive?
Yes it does! But I'll explain why this is paradoxically true, and how wanting to get well can be one of the biggest road blocks to healing.
How is it possible that the body can self-heal?
What If Part 10: What if you are unconsciously keeping yourself sick?
You are secretly keeping yourself sick?
Your symptoms are serving a hidden beneficial purpose, which work both for and against you? Would you want to know?
An eye-opening series on the cause (and solution) to illness.
This is the subject matter of this video series.
"Through the Inner Smile we can learn to recycle our emotional garbage back into positive virtues"
Do you know what to do with your emotional baggage?
How are you composting your emotional garbage?
Do you carry it around with you on your back?
This video shares why it's so critical to learn how to compost your emotions if you want to prevent sickness and unhappiness, or recover from illness, and ensure your happiness and wellbeing!
It was only when I learned how to self-clear negative emotions (frustration, hurt, disappointment, fear, anger, sadness, grief...) that I learned it was possible to get rid of symptoms without having to take medication or supplements. What a revelation!
After having been virtually house-bound for 5 years with chronic fatigue, I got myself well, just by self-clearing my emotions!
What If Part 9: What is the first question you should ask when you are sick?
What is the first question you should ask when you are sick - which if you did could save you much unnecessary fear and stress?
Symptoms are your body's way of making you well, and illness is a sign your body is moving itself through a natural healing phase?
One of the most missed pieces of the health puzzle when it comes to understanding the cause of illness and symptoms, (and how to get well without medication or supplements) is understanding the pivotol role emotions play in the creation of symptoms.
Whilst it may initially sound crazy that emotions can turn into physical symptoms, in this video I will clearly show you how this happens!
What If Part 8: What if different symptoms are interrelated?
Different symptoms are interrelated rather than random and separate?
You could track multiple different symptoms and health conditions back to one root cause?

Internationalist Workers Group
What's in our name?
We are internationalist in that we support and call for a world revolution. We are workers. We are a group.
Our political tendency comes from those groups on the left of the Communist International that were expelled forming the first opposition in struggle against the counterrevolution today embodied in Stalinism or "Marxism-Leninism".
Internationalist Notes was originally taken as a name from an IBRP publication in Farsi. The International Bureau for the Revolutionary Party grew out of a series of conferences that began in the late seventies, called the International Conferences of the Communist Left. The conferences initiated by Partito Comunista Internazionalista (Battaglia Comunista), known by their paper Battaglia Comunista and their journal Prometeo.
The International Bureau hearkens back to the original International Bureau of Fractions of the Communist Left, which was based in Brussels and whose theoretical journal was Prometeo. The term International Bureau for the Revolutionary Party is a way of indicating that we are not a "fraction" of a communist movement that ceased to exist when the centrists around Stalin killed the last remnants of it off. Our preamble and positions can be found in the back of each issue.
Platform of the IWG/GIO - Who we are
In April of 2002 the publishers of Internationalist Notes (US) and Notes Internationalistes / Internationalist Notes (Canada) decided to unify their efforts and constitute themselves as the Internationalist Worker's Group/Groupe Internationaliste Ouvrier. The IWG is currently the organizing committee of the International Bureau for the Revolutionary Party in the US and Canada. This came as the result of years of contact and familiarization with the positions of the IBRP. The comrades of Battaglia Comunista (Partito Comunista Internazionalista) in Italy and the Communist Worker's Organisation in Britain came together in 1984 to form the IBRP and were joined by Bilan et Perspectives (France) in 2000.
What defines us as Internationalist Communists
We believe that the world revolutionary party is indispensable for the overthrow of the dictatorship of capital. This party must be the product of worker's struggles and represent the most conscious vanguard elements of the working class. This vanguard is not in any sense an elite group standing above and apart from the struggles of the class. It is not a party of generals giving orders rather it is on the frontlines of the class struggle. The party draws out the lessons of these struggles and points the way forward for the class. It has always been our position that the emancipation of the working class is the task of the workers themselves. It is a task that cannot be delegated, not even to the most conscious and prepared revolutionary party. The foundations for this revolutionary party must be prepared for, before the revolution arises; when the revolutionary crisis arises it will be too late. History teaches us that there will be no successful revolution without a revolutionary party in the vanguard of class struggle. This revolutionary party will not arise spontaneously. It requires the conscious effort of the most conscious layers of the working class to bring it into being. Although the IWG-GIO supports laying the groundwork for a world revolutionary party of the proletariat it does not claim to be that party. We work, within the common framework of the IBRP, towards this goal.
Bourgeois Parties
All parties and groups that have claimed to be parties and organizations of the proletariat (Social Democrats, Stalinists, Maoists, Trotskyists, etc.) are enemies of the proletariat and today act as the left arm of the bourgeoisie. They pose as defenders of the working class when in fact they are precisely the opposite. All states that call themselves "socialist" or were once called "socialist" were in fact state-capitalist formations. The organizations that supported these states or cooperated with those that supported those states supported a highly centralized form of state-capitalism. However, the Russian Revolution of 1917-1918 still remains a brilliant inspiration to us. This revolution represents the only overthrow of the capitalist class that achieved any degree of success. This revolution was crushed through civil war (1918-1921) imposed from without and destroyed through counterrevolution from within. As yet there have been no socialist "states" in the world.
Capitalism is imperialism and imperialism means war. From its very outset, the rule of capital began to penetrate into every sphere of social life, into every corner of the globe. This process cannot be altered or reformed. Imperialism represents the most advanced stage of development reached by capitalism, it is not a political or military policy carried out by a government. The imperialist phase of capitalism opened with the outbreak of the First World War. This signified that the division of the world among the centers of imperialist power was finished. From this time onwards the bourgeoisie could only expand at the expense of their rival capitalists in a brutal struggle for the re-division of the planet. Hence, we as revolutionaries do not side with any imperialism great or small. We do not enter into united fronts with bourgeois parties nor do we mix the interests of the proletariat with any faction of the bourgeoisie.
We do not call for the support of national liberation movements or for national selfdefense because these movements mix the interests of the proletariat with the interests of their oppressors. Any calls for the support of movements of national liberation serve the capitalist class by mobilizing workers in the support of the re-division of the world in favor of one faction of the bourgeoisie or another.
Anti-fascism is an ideological tool the capitalists use to get workers to defend one faction of the bourgeoisie over another. Fascism is a form of the rule of the bourgeoisie, like Stalinism or Democratic Capitalism. The support for and defense of democratic capitalism will not help workers in their task of overthrowing the rule of capital regardless of the political cloak that the capitalist class wears. We fight capitalism in whatever form it takes.
Elections serve to suck workers into voting in a system created by the capitalists which gives their oppressors the appearance of a popular mandate. Elections cannot be used to win reforms on the behalf of workers nor can they be used as a platform for spreading revolutionary propaganda.
In the epoch of imperialism unions have been transformed from organizations for the defense of workers immediate interests into organizations for the control of workers by the bourgeoisie. They serve the interests of capital by disciplining workers and sabotaging their struggles at every turn. Unions cannot defend workers nor can they overthrow the capitalist class. They cannot be made revolutionary through a change of leadership nor can they be reborn as revolutionary unions.
Bourgeois Issue Movements
We stand against the petty sectionalism and self-absorbed narrow-minded focus of pettybourgeois issue movements. The many facets of capitalist oppression must be understood in their proper historical-material context. We stand against all forms of exploitation and oppression but without the overthrow of the capitalist class the system that breeds exploitation and oppression will remain intact.
As Internationalist Communists our primary tasks are to agitate among workers wherever and whenever possible, to develop and spread the revolutionary press and to lay the groundwork for a theoretically prepared and centralized revolutionary organization. It is through debate and confrontation, the clarification of theory, that revolutionaries are defined from the left swamp. Our theoretical positions arise from our historical experience as a political tendency. Organizationally we draw our experience from the Internationalists of the Italian Communist Left in its struggles against capitalist counterrevolution - Stalinism, fascism and democracy. This political tendency provides us with a theoretical perspective that is unique when compared to the sterile political tendencies that many of us are familiar with. In the pages of our press we shall attempt to clarify our positions. We ask that you support us in this work.

Stargazing 2019, outing #14 – Re-doing the Carp Star Party
We did the Carp star party on Saturday, July 27th and I already blogged about it (AstroBlog 2019, outing #11 – Star party in Carp…). It was touch and go for the clouds earlier in the day, but we declared GO and hoped for the best. Unfortunately, the best was somewhat less than our hopes. Clouds covered good-sized swaths in the sky, and while we got to show Jupiter and Saturn quite extensively, not much else was on the agenda for the evening. While it was a fun night, and we had a good crowd, it was hard to say it was a "success". However, a couple of members suggested giving it a go for the backup night too, and with the permission of our location hosts, we did the Star Party again on Friday, August 2nd.
The night was good and the weather was solid. Since I had someone else ready to act as the closing "marshal" for the event, it meant I could leave early. And thus I could take Jacob to his first star party where he would have his OWN SCOPE set up. The plan was relatively simple…arrive early, set up both scopes, observe for about 90 minutes, and then book it home to put the cub to bed.
Soooo…
I was a bit later leaving to get there than I intended as I was a bit tired. But I got all the gear in the trunk and we made it about 10-15 minutes later than I originally hoped. That makes it a little tight for setting up, and because other people were already there, we couldn't set up right at the front. I hadn't put much thought into "where" we would set up, but Jacob's scope is short. So we should have been right at the front if we could have been. We weren't, and while I started off with our two scopes relatively side by side with just a little table between us, I had to move his farther back so that he wouldn't be blocked by the lines and people observing through other scopes. Live and learn, right?
Setup for my scope was relatively fine, as it was for his, at least initially. Everything together, he did most of his and was ready to go. Except the bugs were bad, and he went up to the car to get something. On the way back, he tripped going over a curb and skinned both shins badly enough to bleed. I was still trying to set everything up before it got dark, so Andrea went and helped him. She brushed him off, blotted the wounds with Kleenex, and did the best to keep him calm and not freaking out. Right up until she sprayed bug spray on his open wounds. The reaction was rapid and intense. She tried cleaning it off with water from his water bottle, but it still stung like hell. I thought he would be completely done at that point. But he wasn't. She got him calmed back down and he came over to work the scope.
By this point, it was dark enough to get started with observing, and the line-ups of public stargazers were already starting to form. I pointed my scope towards the moon and then handed over the controls to Andrea, much to her surprise and initial consternation. But she could keep it aligned and people could view, so I went and got Jacob going.
At first, his 4SE scope was NOT cooperating for alignment. For some reason, the new battery in his red dot finder wasn't working, no idea why, and so he was only using the Rigel Finder. The last time we used it, I wasn't that impressed, and this time I was initially VERY frustrated. We were aligning just fine with just it, but then when I checked in the scope, even with a huge field with a low-power eyepiece, the target wasn't even IN the field of view. WTF? His scope is only set up for his height, and we forgot the step stool we use for viewing, so I had nothing to sit on. Meanwhile, I'm hunched over his low scope trying to figure out WHY it's not working! Frak!
I decided to go back to absolute basics. I pick a light on the horizon, not a star, and try to line upon it. But while the Rigel Finder is set on it, the main scope isn't even CLOSE to the horizon. It's off by almost 5 degrees. WTF? I reached out to adjust the Rigel Finder and it came off in my hands. It wasn't clipped in at the front, just one side. So it was angled upwards. Doh! I reattached it, made sure it fully snapped in, swung over to Jupiter, and BAM! There it was in the scope too. Whew!
Jacob had been waning between the slow start, frustrating options, and the pain in his legs. But once he was up and running, he found Jupiter, and then Saturn all on his own. The moon was too low in the sky for him to see past the people viewing through other scopes, but he had it working. I gave him a bunch of extra EPs, but he ended up using his main one for the night. I had hoped to test him on a bunch of different EPs to see which ones he liked, but we got sidetracked with viewers. I stood back more than once and watched him demonstrate his scope for strangers, and he showed them Saturn and Jupiter with great pride. Plus he loved them all congratulating him on how well he did working the scope.
Meanwhile, Andrea was being put through her paces. So I rescued her, not that she needed it, and let her go hang out with Jacob so he could show off for her. I mostly kept the scope on the moon until it was below the horizon, and kept it controlled manually, but people seemed to really enjoy it. I used my standard eyepiece-of-choice, the 17.3mm Delos with the wide FoV, and it is very forgiving for newbies and the public in general.
Shutting down was hard, I felt like I had to turn people away, but Jacob had to get home. Definitely a successful evening, we just know that we have to get there earlier next time so he can be at the front of the rows with no one blocking his lower height. I was also surprised — there were at least two other young scope operators there that night, something that doesn't normally happen.
But I think I most enjoyed seeing Jacob beaming after showing some random strangers the mysteries of Saturn and Jupiter. Sometimes, it's a bit of a drug. Good to get him hooked early.

Charley Crockett continues his hyper-prolific output with another new album set for spring 2022. Marking his third full-length in a little more than a year, Lil' G.L. Presents: Jukebox Charley will be released April 22 and includes a new cover of Jerry Reed's "I Feel for You" that's out now.
Crockett's fourth installment in his Lil' G.L. covers series, Jukebox Charley will take the Texas singer-songwriter to some less explored corners of the classic country songbook. Among them are songs written by Tom T. Hall ("Lonely in Person," "I Hope It Rains at My Funeral"), Willie Nelson ("Home Motel"), and George Jones ("Out of Control"). Additionally, Crockett offers versions of songs that were cut by Red Sovine ("Same Old Situation"), Porter Wagoner ("Heartbreak Affair"), and the title cut, penned by Johnny Paycheck and Aubrey Mayhew. For the Dennis Linde song "Where Have All the Average People Gone," Crockett subs in the word "Honest" to ask a very timely question.
In his take on Reed's desolate 1966 song "I Feel for You," Crockett doesn't make any radical updates. The tempo is kicked up a notch and the acoustic guitar part emphasizes Reed's descending progression in a way that echoes his told-you-so to the man who ran off with his woman. Crockett's baritone adds a touch of smooth, smoky soul to the sound as well, deepening the feeling of shared heartbreak.
Jukebox Charley follows Crockett's two 2021 releases 10 for Slim: Charley Crockett Sings James Hand and his Nashville-skewering Music City USA. Crockett is set to perform at Luck Reunion on March 17, with a string of headlining dates to follow through May.

"Thank you so much! You were FANTASTIC and we got so many compliments on the band!"
"Thank you for making our wedding reception a night we will relive forever!"
"My wife and I both thought that High Society put on a performance at a wedding that I have yet to see equaled."
"THANK YOU so much for all that you did to make our daughter's wedding such a huge success!"
- Steven & Joyce Z.
"You were fantastic! We cannot even begin to tell how many people have told us over the past 3 weeks how amazing the band was!"
- Brian & Clare M.
"You exceeded our expectations in every way and we have you to thank for a truly memorable evening."
Are you ready to share your dream with us?
Since 1993 the High Society Orchestra has been helping its clients create the events of their dreams.
It is this concern and attention to detail (along with the special moments created) that has made the High Society Orchestra one of the most sought after high energy dance bands for extraordinary weddings, parties, galas, and corporate events in Chicago and the surrounding area. We do this by providing exceptional musical entertainment designed to match your unique vision. For this reason, we are the Chicago wedding band of choice for great parties and events throughout the Midwest.
The band sounded fantastic! At one point I was in the back of the room talking with guests who asked if we had a dj playing songs while the band was on break.
There was not a minute during the reception that the dance floor wasn't packed, with one fantastic song after another keeping everyone on their feet late into the night.
There was no song that we requested that they could not play, and play well. When I threw Rascal Flatt's "My Wish" at them for the Mother- Son dance, they did not wince.
High Society did not disappoint! We had over 260 guests at our wedding, and ALL of them were on the dance floor the entire night. The group allowed us to customize our songs to our liking, and they sounded amazing. I would 100% recommend High Society to anyone looking for an awesome wedding band!!
They are without a doubt the BEST band for any wedding. I had seen them before and were so excited to be able to have them at our wedding!! People danced the entire time! It was everything I hoped it would be!
Hi Allan and Donna It was awesome working with you guys last night at the Cook Wu Wedding! You guys rocked it and had them dancing all night! I Can't wait to work together in December!
I have to say the band MADE the night! I heard from almost all 220 people who attended my wedding that the band was amazing! People who don't usually dance couldn't help shaking a leg on the dance floor. Our dance floor was packed the whole night! High Society was reallyeasy to work with - very responsive and helpful! I highly recommend them!
Tim and the band were so easy to work with, were so professional and did an amazing job! I did not want them to stop playing....such a smooth and easy process. They even took the time to learn songs that I loved. Thank you for making our day so much fun!
As someone else said, great music, so-so management. High Society played at my son's recent wedding. Raves about the music to the point where they are getting 2 other gigs for upcoming weddings. Management is a bit harsh and stand-offish. their contract includes a misspelling, totally unprofessional. Not cheap at $5,000+. If you are prepared for an evening of great music but a bit of a hassle in dealing with their management, then go for it.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. High Society did our wedding in November and I had no problems and TONS of compliments on them. We didn't have a lot of special requests and from reading the other reviews it seems like this can be where things get a little dicey. Overall, they got all of the songs we really wanted played in, they emceed everything for us and got all the names right, working with them was great, and they were totally able to read the crowd and have a full dance floor going all night. I'd recommend them to anyone - the members of this band are just so talented and have a great presence together.
I heard this band at a friend's wedding, and just knew by the time I got married I NEEDED to have them. I just got married June 20th, and we had High Society, they were just as phenomenal as when we heard them. They kept the crowd going all night, I truly did not want them to end. They played music from all genre's so everyone had a great time dancing. The dance floor was never empty. Friends are still talking about how awesome the band was. I HIGHLY recommend high society, Allan is a pleasure to work with.

Tankie
Revision as of 16:10, 17 August 2017 by Natechan (talk | contribs) (The sentence was intended to communicate that the word "tankie" was used from that point on as an insult (pejorative).)
"Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist) contingent at London May Day march in 2008, carrying a banner of Stalin."[1]
A Tankie is an apologist for the violence and crimes against humanity perpetrated by twentieth-century Marxist-Leninist regimes, particularly the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin (1924 - 1953). More broadly, the term may refer to any leftist who is perceived to support or defend authoritarian regimes on the basis that they are enemies of the United States. This can include regimes that are not and do not claim to be communist such as those of Vladimir Putin in Russia and Bashir al-Assad in Syria.
"Tankie" originally referred to the members of the Communist Party of Great Britain that supported the Kremlin decision to use tanks to crush the Hungarian anti-Soviet revolt of 1956. It was subsequently used as a pejorative against those members who believed that the party should pursue a line of uncritical support for the Soviet Union. The term has taken on its current meaning since the end of the Cold War. Ironically, it now most often refers to self-styled 'anti-revisionists' who believe that Nikita Khruschev, leader of the USSR at the time of the Hungarian revolt, betrayed Marxist-Leninist principles with his de-Stalinization programme.
2 Debating genocide
The name originates from the following quote by Reg Birch:
When I asked him how he could possibly have sided with the 'tankies', so called because of the use of Russian tanks to quell the revolt, he said 'they wanted a trade unionist who could stomach Hungary, and I fitted the bill'."[2]
Debating genocide
Tankies will often argue for persuasive definitions about genocide regarding the Ukrainian Famine, arguing that Stalin didn't intend for all of those people to starve to death and realizing he is still responsible for not feeding his people. In addition, Timothy Synder's Bloodlands[3] argues that policies were instituted specifically targeting Ukraine to exacerbate the famine which may or may not have arisen from natural causes.

The Geography of Mixed-Income Neighborhoods

The gap between the rich and poor—and between rich and poor neighborhoods—has widened in recent decades, exacerbating residential segregation of households by income and worsening racial inequalities. After decades in which federal and local-level housing policy decisions concentrated poverty and created the nation's segregated landscape, policymakers continue to look for place-based solutions that leverage housing-related policies to reverse those trends and foster more mixed-income communities.
To effectively layer and integrate federal and local policies in ways that cultivate and sustain economically integrated communities, we need a better understanding—not just of intentionally built mixed-income developments, like those created under HOPE VI—but also of the demographic, economic, and policy dynamics that create "naturally occurring" mixed-income neighborhoods. In a recent What Works essay (part of a series compiled in the fifth volume in the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco's What Works series, What Works to Promote Inclusive, Equitable Mixed-Income Communities), we analyzed the location and composition of these kinds of neighborhoods in the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas.
Before summarizing what we found, it should be noted that no single definition of a mixed-income neighborhood exists. For this analysis, we divided households into three categories relative to each region's Area Median Income (AMI): Those below 80 percent, between 80 and 120 percent, and above 120 percent. We considered a neighborhood to be mixed-income if each of these groups makes up at least 20 percent but less than 50 percent of tract households. These parameters mean that each income group has a significant, but not dominant, presence in the neighborhood. In addition, our definition of "mixed-income" requires that the neighborhood has at least 10 percent of its population living below the federal poverty level, in an effort to identify those neighborhoods where poor households may benefit from the political and social capital that mixed-income neighborhoods are thought to provide.
Applying those parameters to assess census tract-level American Community Survey data in the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas, we found:
Just one-tenth of major-metro neighborhoods are mixed-income.
Of the nearly 47,000 U.S. Census tracts that make up the nation's 100 largest metro areas, just under 5,000 met our definition of mixed-income in 2016 (Figure 1). At the same time, roughly one-third of tracts were majority low-income and another third were primarily populated by high-income households.
Source: Terner Center analysis of 2016 ACS 5-year estimates
Mixed-income neighborhoods are much more representative of the racial and ethnic makeup of metropolitan America than neighborhoods segregated by income.
The 23 million people living in mixed-income neighborhoods make up a strikingly representative cross-section of metropolitan America (Figure 2). Similar shares of poor and non-poor residents lived in mixed-income neighborhoods in 2016, as did roughly one in 10 non-Hispanic White, Black or African-American, and Asian residents (Table 1). Hispanic or Latinx residents posted a modestly higher share at 14 percent.
The rough parity in who has access to mixed-income neighborhoods contrasts sharply with high-income neighborhoods—which tilt disproportionately toward non-Hispanic White, Asian, and non-poor residents—and low-income tracts, where most major-metro poor and Black/African-American residents live. These patterns of disproportionate inclusion and exclusion have been shaped in no small part by housing policies and practices in these regions.
The makeup of the housing stock and use of federal housing subsidies likely contribute to the economic and racial diversity of mixed-income neighborhoods.
Federal housing subsidies no doubt played a role in helping the 12 percent of metropolitan poor residents in mixed-income tracts gain access to these neighborhoods (Figure 3). Moreover, mixed-income tracts that contain subsidized households tend to be more racially and ethnically diverse (Figure 4). Specifically, the share of Black/African-American residents in mixed-income neighborhoods almost doubles when housing subsidies are present.
But likely a much bigger factor in mixed-income neighborhoods (and one that shapes where subsidies can be used in the first place) is the type of housing available (Figure 5). High-income tracts in the top 100 metro areas are populated predominantly by single-family homes, which are largely owner-occupied, while low-income tracts are dominated by renters and denser forms of development. It is likely that mixed-income neighborhoods support a more economically diverse group of residents because they exhibit a relatively more balanced mix of owner and rental units and a housing stock that offers opportunities for modest density.
A great deal of churn exists in mixed-income neighborhoods, while economically-segregated neighborhoods tend to be "stickier."
Between 2000 and 2016, the number of mixed-income neighborhoods in metropolitan America increased from 3,553 to 4,911—an uptick of 40 percent. However, the topline numbers mask a great deal of churn over time.
Just 18 percent (902 tracts) of mixed-income tracts in 2016 began the 2000s that way. Neighborhoods that lost their mixed-income status after 2000 were more likely to do so because they became more heavily concentrated at one end of the income distribution: Almost 60 percent of tracts that were formerly mixed-income in 2000 transitioned to either majority high-income or majority low-income by 2016 (Figure 6). Those that became high-income were more likely to be located in cities, while those that became low-income were much more likely to be located in suburbs, reflecting dual trends that typified this period: The revitalization (and gentrification) of a growing number of urban neighborhoods and the growing incidence of poverty and decline in the suburbs.
In contrast, the much smaller number of tracts that used to be majority high- or low-income but became mixed-income in 2016 suggests that the more segregated by income a neighborhood is, the "stickier" the income status of that neighborhood tends to be.
These trends suggest that point-in-time snapshots of mixed-income neighborhoods often capture a temporary neighborhood equilibrium of integration in a longer-term trajectory of income sorting.
What's Needed
These findings tell us that to cultivate stable, mixed-income neighborhoods, we need:
More research into neighborhoods that have managed to remain stably integrated and the factors that have contributed to stability;
To better align and deploy federal and local policies in ways the promote more inclusive communities, from the siting and allocation of federal subsidies to local and zoning and policies that enable a more diverse mix of housing types.
Investments paired with place-based policies that recognize neighborhood trajectories. In gentrifying areas, investments need to be coupled with affordable housing preservation, tenant protections, and anti-displacement strategies. In areas experiencing growing poverty, stemming concentrated disadvantage will require connecting housing strategies with cross-sector interventions and investments in residents and the broader community; and
To promote social integration and greater access to opportunity structures, which will require aligning services and community resources with housing interventions. Services that seek to build a sense of community and belonging in otherwise transitioning and transient neighborhoods—whether urban or suburban—can help to build social cohesion across different groups of residents and promote longer-term neighborhood stability.
What are the Implications?
For Policy
Federal housing policy helped to create today's landscape of economic and racial segregation, and it has an important role to play in undoing that legacy. Where housing subsidies are targeted—be it through place-based investments like LIHTC or through the expansion of choice through vouchers—helps shape where low-income households can live. We find that most mixed-income neighborhoods (63 percent) contain some type of housing subsidy—most often tenant-based Housing Choice Vouchers—and that tracts that contain subsidized households tend to be more racially and ethnically diverse. This suggests that the design of housing subsidy programs, and targeting them to local housing market conditions, can make a significant difference in supporting more integrated neighborhoods. For instance, the Baltimore Regional Housing Partnership (BRHP) has a robust counseling and housing search assistance program aimed at helping Housing Choice Voucher households locate in higher- opportunity neighborhoods throughout the region. As BRHP works with voucher households pre- and post-move, it strives to foster income mixing and guard against concentrating low- income households in particular properties or neighborhoods.
However, federal subsidies are just one policy lever that should be considered alongside a broader array of tools. Local housing and zoning policies are among the most influential factors shaping housing access. Incentivizing localities to diversify the mix of housing types in all neighborhoods can foster greater economic inclusion. Inclusionary zoning, for example, can require or encourage the production of affordable units as part of market-rate development. In addition, city- or state-level source of income discrimination protections can ensure that households with a voucher have access to fair housing choices. Policies that limit exclusionary zoning practices are also critical: for example, Minneapolis recently eliminated single-family zoning in every neighborhood to increase the supply of "missing middle" housing across the city. In Massachusetts, Chapter 40B ensures that all of its cities meet their fair share of affordable housing production by streamlining the approvals process for projects that include units targeted to lower-income households. While these are just a few examples, they point to ways in which local models can facilitate the development of mixed-income communities outside of the public housing and/or federal housing subsidy context.
For Research and Evaluation
Despite decades of research into the effects of concentrated neighborhood poverty on a variety of outcomes, and recent evidence pointing toward the importance of neighborhood context on a child's expected earnings in adulthood, we do not know how mixed-income neighborhoods benefit poor residents. For example: are mixed-income neighborhoods good for poor children because they provide meaningful exposure to people from different backgrounds? Or because they provide access to resources and institutional capacity not present in poor neighborhoods? Or because they increase collective efficacy and political mobilization for neighborhood investments? Knowing more about how these pathways matter would fill a central gap in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying neighborhood effects. We also need more research that accounts for the fact that neighborhoods change. We find that while low-income and high-income neighborhoods tend to be "sticky," there is a lot of churn in which neighborhoods are mixed-income over time. A deeper exploration of neighborhoods that have managed to remain stably integrated over time— and what factors have contributed to that stability—could help to more effectively direct future policymaking efforts at the local, state, and federal level.
For Development and Investment
Where development and investment happens, and what kind, can have a profound influence on neighborhood change. Particularly in the context of places experiencing gentrification and a "return to the city," investments need to be coupled with tenant protections and strategies to prevent displacement. Affordable housing preservation—not just new construction—should be a priority in neighborhoods that are seeing an influx of higher-income residents. In San Francisco, for example, the city has established a Small Sites Program, which provides loans to nonprofit organizations to buy buildings that are at risk of being sold to a private investor and convert the units to permanent affordability.
On the other hand, in neighborhoods experiencing increases in the number of poor and low-income households, policymakers and practitioners should prioritize community development investments and programs that can stabilize and support mixed-income neighborhoods. Taking steps to promote and preserve integration in such areas can help stem the emergence of new areas of concentrated disadvantage, but will require connecting housing strategies with cross-sector interventions and investments in residents and the broader community.
For Residents and Community Members
The built environment is just one element of what it means to be "mixed-income." Fostering housing integration, at its core, is about the hope that doing so will also promote social integration, offer greater access to opportunity structures, and ultimately improve outcomes for low-income households and residents of color. Yet, while housing policies and investments can set the stage for integration and access, housing strategies alone are unlikely to guarantee the durability and efficacy of those conditions. Aligning services and community resources with housing interventions can help ensure that low-income families in mixed-income environments have access to employment, health, transportation, and other social services that can help support individual households. Services that seek to build a sense of community and belonging in otherwise transitioning and transient neighborhoods—whether urban or suburban—can promote neighborhood stability by building social cohesion across different groups of residents.

Elizabeth's work is always top notch, I just would like her critical analysis of the socio-economic effects of the old, narrow, limited "urban planning" model typically used throughout tbe U.S., which focuses on the built environment, using business metrics as evidence of civic "success", but which produces a widening socioeconomic divide.
San Antonio where I live, is a case study in this regard. I contend you cannot achieve the human metrics we seek using a business model in the public sector — a sector needing its own framework defining community "success".
