NATIONAL AMERICAN INSURANCE CO. V. NEW DOMINION, 2021 OK 62
Opinion: National American Insurance Co. v. New Dominion, 2021 OK 62
Subject matter: Insurance Defense
Date Decided: November 23, 2021
Trial Court: District Court of Lincoln County; Judge Ashwood
Route to this Court: Appeal of Final Order from Bench Trial; Retained
Facts: National American Insurance Company ("NAICO") brought suit against New Dominion, LLC, seeking declaratory judgment that four consecutive commercial general liability policies it had issued to New Dominion did not provide coverage for bodily injury and property damage claims asserted in a number of separate lawsuits ("the Earthquake Lawsuits"). These claims allegedly arose out of seismic activity caused by New Dominion's oil and gas operations. New Dominion filed a counterclaim alleging breach of contract, seeking defense and indemnity, and asserting equitable claims for estoppel and reformation. The trial court bifurcated the issues pleaded, conducting separate bench trials for the contract interpretation questions and the equitable claims. Following the first bench trial, the court issued a declaratory judgment holding that the Total Pollution Exclusions and the Subsidence and Earth Movement Exclusions in the commercial general liability policies clearly and unambiguously precluded coverage for the claims asserted in the Earthquake Lawsuits. Following the second trial, the court estopped NAICO from denying claims for bodily injury during one of the four policy periods but denied all other equitable claims.
Standard of Review: De Novo as to questions of law; Factual findings sustained unless clearly against the weight of the evidence.
Analysis: Total Pollution Exclusion: The Total Pollution Exclusion excludes coverage for bodily injury and property damage "which would not have occurred in whole or in part but for the actual, alleged or threatened discharge, dispersal, seepage, migration, release or escape of 'pollutants' at any time." Pollutants are defined within the policies as "any solid, liquid, gaseous or thermal irritant or contaminant, including smoke, vapor, soot, fumes, acids, alkalis, chemicals and waste." Waste refers to "materials to be recycled, reconditioned, or reclaimed." The Court first concludes that Total Pollution Exclusion is ambiguous, insofar as the phrase "irritant or contaminant" does not clearly encompass the wastewater at issue in the case. The Court next finds that construing the ambiguity in favor of the insured, it was reasonable for New Dominion to have understood the Total Pollution Exclusion as applicable only in instances where bodily injury or property damage resulted from the irritating or contaminating nature of a pollutant. "Moreover, this Court will not endorse an absurdly expansive reading of the Total Pollution Exclusions and, in so doing, legitimize a fairly transparent attempt by NAICO to further limit its exposure by invoking inapplicable exclusions to deny coverage." Subsidence and Earth Movement Exclusions: Policy Periods 1 & 2, the provision states that this insurance does not apply to "property damage", whether direct or indirect, arising out of, caused by, resulting from, contributed to, or aggravated by the subsidence, settling, expansion, sinking, slipping, falling away, tilting, caving in, shifting, eroding, mud flow, rising or any other movement of land or earth, whether or not any of the foregoing emanate or arise from or are related to the operations of the insured or any other person for whose acts the insured is legally liable. The Court concludes that the Subsidence Exclusions in Policy Periods 1 and 2 clearly and unambiguously preclude coverage for the events that form the basis of the Earthquake Lawsuits. While the term "earthquake" is omitted from the list of events for which coverage would be denied, the list comprises nearly every event that is commonly associated with an earthquake. Thus, it would be absurd to find that the Subsidence Exclusions do not contemplate earthquakes as well. Policy Period 3 the provision adds "earthquake" to the list of non-covered events from which property damage might result. The inclusion of the term "earthquake" only serves to more explicitly preclude coverage for incidents like those which form the basis of the Earthquake Lawsuits. Practical Effect of Decision: The Court appears to say that bodily injury is covered under the policy but not property damage.
Outcome: Affirmed in part and reversed in part; cause remanded for proceedings consistent with opinion.
Vote: Darby, C.J., Kane, V.C.J., Kauger, Winchester, Gurich, Rowe, Kuehn, JJ., concur.Edmondson, Combs, JJ., concur in part, dissent in part.
Other: Case No. 116,989, Mid-Continent Casulaty Company v. Crown Energy, which involves a similar issue related to an insurer's duty to defend the underlying earthquake lawsuit is still pending.

Look on the Bright Side: Here's Where Americans Are Winning the Retirement Game.
2021-11-03 IRABy John Rothans
You've probably heard that Americans on the whole aren't saving enough for retirement. And while that may be true in general, plenty of folks are smartly setting aside money for the future.
Here's a look at the bright side of retirement in America.
Three fourths of Americans Have Retirement Savings.
Yahoo Finance notes that PricewaterhouseCoopers' most recent Retirement in America report shows that one fourth of Americans have no retirement savings. However, that means three fourths of Americans do have at least some retirement savings, although it might not be enough.
If you're one of the people who have retirement savings, pat yourself on the back. But be sure to regularly review your retirement allocations to see whether they need to be adjusted.
Millennials Are Better at Retirement Savings Than You Might Think.
Citing the 2021 Planning & Progress Study from Northwestern Mutual, CNBC says millennials (25 to 40 years old) have an average retirement balance of $63,300. Gen Xers (41 to 56) are ahead of millennials in that category, but not by as much as you might imagine. The study indicates that Gen Xers have $98,900 put away for retirement.
Yes, that represents a gap of $35,600. Yet it would seem that Gen Xers, who are much closer to retirement, should be much further ahead of their millennial counterparts in terms of retirement savings.
No matter your age, it's wise to continually assess your retirement savings and where you want to be.
Younger Americans Are Saving for Retirement Sooner.
Despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, younger Americans appear to be as committed as ever—and perhaps even more determined—to saving for retirement.
Reporting on a 2021 survey by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, Forbes notes that more than 80% of Americans saved for retirement during the pandemic. Participation was especially strong among millennials and members of Generation Z. In particular, the survey found that members of Generation Z begin saving early for retirement—at age 19.
"People are doing an admirable job," Catherine Collinson, president and CEO of the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, told Forbes. "With everything that they've had to face, it's very impressive people are still planning about their future."
Unfortunately, time isn't always on your side when it comes to setting aside money for retirement. No matter your age, you're better off doubling down on retirement savings sooner rather than later.
Near-Retirement Workers Favor IRAs for Asset Control.
American workers who are approaching retirement look at IRAs as a way to exercise more control over their retirement assets.
In a survey conducted earlier this year by Pew Charitable Trusts, 63% of near-retirement workers cite greater control over their retirement assets as the biggest motivator for rolling their workplace savings into an IRA.
In the same survey, 54% of retirees report leaving money in their workplace retirement plans, and 46% report rolling their savings into an IRA. (Retirees in the survey could choose more than one option). One fifth of the retirees say their number-one motivator for rolling their savings into an IRA is gaining additional control over their retirement assets.
For Americans of any age, traditional and Roth IRAs—including self-directed IRAs that allow holding alternative assets like precious metals—can be an enticing avenue for strengthening control over retirement savings.
If you're one of the people who feel financially ready for retirement, congratulate yourself. Do what you can to pass on your knowledge to future generations. And if you're not so sure about your financial future in retirement, get started now. It's never too late to start. Call U.S. Money Reserve to learn how a gold IRA could help achieve your retirement goals.

Derbyshire County Council
Residents' frustration at broadband 'black hole' zones in Derbyshire
The housing areas affected are 'still just fields' according to Digital Derbyshire's records
Eddie BisknellLocal Democracy Reporter
Around ten villages and countless new housing developments in South Derbyshire have been left in a broadband "black hole".
This revelation came to light in a meeting of the South Derbyshire District Council overview and scrutiny committee tonight, Wednesday, September 5.
Rob Rowan, the programme manager for Digital Derbyshire - a £34m partnership led by Derbyshire County Council and BT - said that the housing records the project is using are from around 2014.
These records had been used to calculate how much money the scheme would need and how many houses needed coverage.
The initial aim of Digital Derbyshire is to roll out fibre broadband, or at least broadband of 2Mb per second, to 105,000 homes by 2020.
Since 2014, hundreds of new houses have been built in South Derbyshire - and hundreds more are on the way - none of which were factored in to the original plans to rollout broadband across the region.
Mr Rowan said that there simply isn't the cash to pay for broadband to be rolled out to these new housing developments.

He said: "We get numerous complaints from residents who have moved into a new property, only to find there is no internet connection and all we can say to them is that - by our records - your site is just a field, we don't have a record of houses there.
"There are numerous sites across South Derbyshire which to our records are still just fields.
"We would have to do a new review to factor in these houses, but by then the new review would still miss other new houses which would be built.
"But all this comes down to whether there is more money in the programme or if more funding can be secured."
He said that the Digital Derbyshire programme has already delivered broadband to 82,000 premises in the first phase of the rollout and has delivered broadband to another 23,000 in the second phase, with 21,000 still to do.
By completion, this would see broadband access given to 126,000 homes and businesses.

Many new housing developments, through work between the housebuilding company and BT Openreach, have been able to gain access to fibre broadband.
This is typically for housing developments of more than 30 houses - as agreed in November 2016 by BT.
Mr Rowan said that some developers choose to try and work with other companies, such as Virgin and the Independent Fibre Networks Limited, to bring fibre broadband to new housing sites, with some success.
He advised that people moving into new housing estates can also make use of cash from Better Broadband Subsidy Scheme which sees grants of £300 given to homeowners to give them broadband.
This was set up through the BT Community Fibre Partnership as a stop-gap and it issued 1,034 codes which can be redeemed by residents.
Of these, 638 have been claimed and the rest will expire on December 31, 2018.

Councillor Pat Murray holds the Seales seat on the district council and Linton on the county council.
He said that in the areas he covers, such as Linton and Walton, a lack of broadband "is a real problem".
Cllr Murray said: "Some people still can't get it at all.
"We have stickers around the area saying that broadband has arrived, but residents in new buildings and are struggling to get it."
Cllr Neil Atkin, who represents Aston for both the district and county council, was damning in his brief assessment of the situation.
He said: "There is bewilderment, complaints and dismay in my constituency, and something needs to be done about it."

Councillors present at tonight's meeting say that there are around 10 villages and countless hamlets which have no access to broadband, despite other areas gaining access and despite claims that 95 per cent of residents can access it.
Mr Rowan said: "We are looking at going into these communities and providing services for the whole of the community.
"We would go go BT and say, there are this many houses, how much would it cost to bring them broadband.
"This way we wouldn't end up with the situation like we do now where one side of the street has internet, and one does not.
"But there would still be some properties which we just cannot service because it would be too expensive."

Yay! Thanks to awesome github user dlan-fr, Bosca Ceoil is available for Linux!
I haven't tested this myself (I don't have a linux installation at the moment), but it sounds like it should work. He's ported it back to AIR 2.6, which was the last version of Adobe AIR supported on Linux.
I have tested it on Ubuntu linux and Linux mint, It seem to work properly. (minor some sound delay issue, see below for workaround).

Sometimes I wonder why I bother making plans, I never seem to stick to them anyway.
I'm on holiday at the moment, but still trying to chip away at Isothingy. I haven't made a soundtrack yet, but I've been working on it – sort of. Decided that I didn't really like any existing music tools, so I'd have a go at making my own. It's actually going really well – maybe even well enough to be useful to more than just myself when it's finished.

Dario Vidošić (Osijek, 8 maart 1987) is een Kroatisch-Australisch betaald voetballer die bij voorkeur als aanvallende middenvelder speelt. Hij speelt sinds september 2015 bij Western Sydney Wanderers. In juni 2009 debuteerde hij in het Australisch voetbalelftal.

Clubcarrière
Vidošić verhuisde in 1988 met zijn familie van Kroatië naar Australië om zich te vestigen in Brisbane. Hij speelde in het seizoen 2006/2007 met Queensland Roar in de A-League. In 2007 werd Vidošić gecontracteerd door 1. FC Nürnberg, waar ook zijn landgenoten Joshua Kennedy, Michael Beauchamp en Matthew Špiranović destijds onder contract stonden. In augustus 2013 verkocht Adelaide United Vidošić aan de Zwitserse voetbalclub FC Sion. Vidošić debuteerde voor de Zwitserse voetbalclub op 31 augustus tegen FC Aarau, waar FC Sion won met 1–0.

Interlandcarrière
Vidošić speelde op 17 juni 2009 tegen Japan zijn eerste interland voor het Australisch voetbalelftal door in de laatste minuten van de wedstrijd in te vallen voor Tim Cahill. Vier minuten voor het einde van de reguliere speeltijd verving hij de speler die beide Australische doelpunten had gemaakt in de 2–1 overwinning. Bondscoach Pim Verbeek nam hem een jaar later mee naar het Wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2010 in Zuid-Afrika. Hij kwam daar echter niet in actie. In voorbereiding op het Wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2014 was Vidošić actief in zowel het kwalificatietoernooi als in vriendschappelijke interlands.

Several friends reached out to me recently about self publishing. It seems like the buzz and importance of branding oneself and their company is reaching the masses and people are looking for ways to market themselves through self publishing.
After having participated in the process, I had a few resources to share.
The first book I recommend is The Complete Guide to Self-Publishing by Tom and Marilyn Ross. ISBN 1-58297-091-2. They were the founders of SPAN, the Small Publishers Association of North America. http://www.spannet.org/profiles/blog/list. The resources they provide in the book are excellent for the person who is thinking…where in the world do I get started? The age of the internet, options for marketing and printing continue to increase – but if you want someplace to start, I recommend this book.
In terms of a printer, I found a new printer online that I HIGHLY recommend – www.diggypod.com. I just worked with them recently to print a book for a series of trainings with my client. While I was hesitant when I initially visited the site that their prices were too low, I have to say that they delivered on their promise. The book was printed in a high quality fashion before deadline and got a big "wow" from my client.
When considering if you should self publish – the biggest challenge is not the actual self publishing. Nor is it the list of resources you need to publish.
The real starting point is determining who will buy this book beyond your 20 friends and family AND what ancillary products can you develop/provide once you gain customers. Outside of the 20 friends and family who are obligated to purchase the book – who is going to buy it? What raving fans can you create who do not know you personally?
It doesn't make sense to invest money and time into this project…unless there is a direct market for customers. I've watched people make the investment in self publishing and lose it due to the lack of developing and testing it with their target market/audience. And I've even watched a few friends who were published by one of the major publishers have to spend considerable time and resources breaking-even. Sure they were able to garner the initial publicity and book signings. But a few didn't have the additional products or services already in place when they started their book tour. They were only able to sell potential customers their book….rather than the book PLUS additional products.
Make sure you do your research in advance and pre market!
For those of you who have already taken the plunge, what resources have you found helpful?

So the other thing you can do is reorder panels, and I'm Actually going to scroll to the beginning of the Thumbnail View in order to find the scene with just a single panel in order to make my example easier. So I can reorder this panel by grabbing the top tab here where you can see these two rows of little bumps. And if I grab that, I can drag this and put it in between two scenes like that. I can also drag it and put it somewhere in another scene or shot, or I can attach it to the beginning or end of a scene or shot, and you can see that by these brackets that are curved, so that would be to attach it to the end of the scene, and that would be to place it at the beginning of a scene.

Classification of glass fiber materials
A-glass fiber
A-glass fiber is the first type of glass used. A-glass fiber, soda-lime, or soda lime glass is broken glass fiber, also known as high alkali glass. They can be boron-doped or pure. The composition of the basic oxide compound is not less than 0.8%. In the case of producing soda lime silicate glass by adding content, the expected durability, structural stability, and electrical strength of E-type glass fibers are not required.
AR glass fiber
Also known as alkali-resistant glass fiber, it is mainly developed to strengthen the cement. Alkali-resistant glass fiber is characterized by good alkali resistance, can effectively resist the erosion of high-alkali substances in cement, strong binding force, elastic modulus, impact resistance, tensile strength, high bending strength, non-combustibility, frost resistance, and temperature resistance, Strong humidity changeability, excellent crack resistance and impermeability performance, strong design ability, easy forming, etc. Alkali-resistant glass fiber is a new type of green and environmentally friendly reinforcement widely used in high-performance reinforced (cement) concrete material.
C-glass fiber
It is a glass fiber-containing calcium borosilicate, which provides structural balance in corrosive environments. The pH value of the chemical substance in contact with the glass fiber has a high resistance to the glass fiber in alkali or acid. Also known as medium-alkali glass, it is characterized by its chemical resistance, especially acid resistance, which is superior to that of alkali-free glass, but its electrical properties are poor, and its mechanical strength is 10% to 20% lower than that of alkali-free glass fiber. The amount of boron trioxide, while China's medium-alkali glass fiber is completely free of boron.
Acid resistance and water resistance are better than alkali-free glass fiber. The method is to melt and draw raw materials. It can be directly felt when needed. Medium-alkali glass fiber can be used to produce corrosion-resistant glass fiber products, such as glass fiber surface mats, fiberglass needle punched felt,etc., and also used to strengthen asphalt roofing materials. China's medium-alkali glass fiber accounts for more than half (60%) of glass fiber production. It is widely used in the production of glass fiber reinforced plastic and the production of filter fabrics and wrapping fabrics. Because its price is lower than that of alkali-free glass fiber, it has strong competitiveness.
D-glass fiber
An important type of glass fiber is D-type glass fiber. Also known as low dielectric glass, it is used to produce low dielectric glass fiber with good dielectric strength. It is mainly composed of SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, B2O3, Fe2O3, and is prepared according to the ratio. Boron trioxide is used as a raw material for the synthesis of other boron compounds (such as boron carbide) in the production of liquids for glass and enamel and in the production of heat-resistant and thermal shock resistant borosilicate glass.
In addition, one of the most important uses of boron trioxide is to use it as a glass fiber additive to form fibers for fiber optic cable construction.
Boron trioxide provides a low dielectric constant for this type of glass fiber. This makes glass fibers an ideal fiber for fiber optic cable applications, such as heat resistance and conductivity in electromagnetic applications. The viscosity-temperature of Log3 is less than 1300°C, the liquefaction temperature is less than 1100°C, and the difference between the two is above 75°C, which is more suitable for the spinning process, and effectively prevents spinning breakage and crystallization. Good moisture resistance manifested in alkali dissolution of less than 0.055 mg Na2O/g glass, suitable as a substrate for printed circuit boards, and low electrical loss.
E glass fiber
Because it was first used as an electrically insulating material, it was called electric glass. The boroaluminosilicate glass fiber-containing alkali metal oxide components such as alumina are less than 1% or less than 0.8%. Therefore it contains almost no alkali, also known as alkali-free glass. It is the most widely used glass fiber with a glass composition.
E-glass fiber is the most widely used glass fiber formula in the world and is borosilicate glass. Although developed specifically for electronic applications, they are now used in many fields. Combined with a thermosetting resin, it can produce FRP. Glass fiber reinforced plastic panels and sheets are widely used in almost all industrial fields of modern life. Due to its achievements in protecting its structural integrity from mechanical shocks and mechanical influences, it is used in more and more fields every day. They will not melt in the heat, but they are very soft.
E-glass fiber has good electrical insulation and water resistance, but the commercial forms of fiber with poor acid and alkali resistance include untwisted roving, fabric, and felt. In addition to electrical insulation materials, it is also used as a polymer, Gypsum, and other composite reinforcements. It is also widely used in the production of glass fiber for FRP. Its disadvantage is that it is easily corroded by inorganic acid, so it is not suitable for use in an acidic environment.
E-CR glass is an improved boron-free and alkali-free glass. It is used to produce glass fiber with good acid and water resistance. Its water resistance is 7-8 times better than that of alkali-free glass fiber. It is a new product specially developed for underground pipelines and storage tanks.
High-strength glass fiber
It is characterized by high strength and high modulus. Its single fiber tensile strength is 2800MPa, which is about 25% higher than that of alkali-free glass fiber, and its elastic modulus is 86000MPa, which is higher than that of E-glass fiber. High-strength glass fiber is a very good alternative to metal materials.
Identify high alkali glass fiber
The simple method of inspection is to put the fiber in boiling water and boil it for 6-7 hours. If it is high-alkali glass nitrocellulose, after boiling in boiling water, the fibers in the warp and weft directions are all loosened. According to different standards, there are many classification methods for glass fibers, which are generally divided from the two angles of length and diameter, composition, and performance.

Il deserto dell'Algeria () è posizionato nella parte centro-settentrionale dell'Africa e fa parte del deserto del Sahara. Il deserto occupa più dei quattro quinti dell'intero territorio algerino.

Caratteristiche
Il deserto ha inizio dalle alture dell'Atlante Sahariano dove ha le caratteristiche di un deserto di pietre e diviene sempre più composto da dune sabbiose man mano che ci addentra verso il centro del paese. Nella sua parte sudoccidentale si trova la catena montuosa del Tassili n'Ajjer. L'area è di grande interesse archeologico e dal 1982 viene inclusa nella lista dei patrimoni dell'umanità dell'UNESCO per le oltre 15.000 pitture e incisioni rupestri di origine preistorica.

L'area è nota per l'estrema aridità e l'elevato calore; temperature estreme diurne tra 46 °C e 51 °C sono comuni in gran parte del deserto durante i periodi più caldi. I villaggi come Ouargla, Touggourt, Béni Abbès, Adrar e In Salah sono tra le più calde località del pianeta durante l'estate.

Le precipitazioni medie annue sono inferiori ai 100 mm nella parte più settentrionale, e addirittura minori di 50 mm nelle zone centrali e meridionali, che vengono così classificate come iper-aride e tra i luoghi più aridi del pianeta.

Novelist Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code) has donated € 300,000 to the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica to digitize and preserve part of its priceless collection, including Hermetica, alchemy, mysticism, Rosicrucians and Kabbala.
Thanks to Brown's donation, the public will be able to access the core collection of some 4,600 ancient books online in the near future. Brown is a great admirer of the library (widely known as The Ritman Library after its founder Joost R. Ritman) and visited on several occasions while writing his novels The Lost Symbol and Inferno. "I consider it a great honor", the world-famous author said, "to play a role in this important preservation initiative that will make these texts available to the public." The Dutch Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds is also contributing to the digitization project, to the amount of € 15,000.
The comprehensive digitization project will be carried out by Picturae, a company specializing in making Dutch cultural heritage digitally accessible. It is expected that the core collection of The Ritman Library will become available online in the spring of 2017.
The Ritman Library is moving into the historic 'House with the Heads' on Amsterdam's Keizersgracht. After major renovation the building will house the new 'Embassy of the Free Mind'. This Embassy will offer room for exhibitions, tours, presentations, debates and conferences and will be a platform where innovative and free thinkers from the Netherlands and abroad can meet. The library, with its wealth of knowledge and its unique collection, will be the vibrant heart of the Embassy of the Free Mind.
Viewers can follow the digitization process on YouTube, FB, Instagram, and the library's website https://www.ritmanlibrary.com/digitization-project/.
Please let me know how to access the digital files once they are available on any level to the public or to members. Thank you.
Thank you Dan Brown and The Ritman Library. You are my new saints and heroes!
Here in the southern USA, I fear that many would like to squelch the study of all things mystical. It is good to see the Light of Knowledge shining through!!!
Hopefully when the files are online, Dan Brown will reveal the secret he has been attempting to reveal by encoding clues in his books. Or he could reveal the secret now and by the time the online editions are available the world would be more interested in confirming the secret.
Dan we share the same impulse. My donation pales in the shadow of your largess but tell me: Where do I send my contribution to the campaign to preserve this wonderful collection?

Arrow Bringing Back Katana For Final Season
By Russ Burlingame - September 3, 2019 09:53 am EDT
Arrow will continue its journey through the series' history with "Welcome to Hong Kong," the second episode of the series' eighth season. The episode will bring back Tatsu Yamashiro (Rila Fukushima), who was last seen for a brief cameo in season five. The character's return was teased by series star Stephen Amell at the Television Critics Association tour, but just emerged on Green Arrow TV earlier today. The return is just one of a number of such appearances in the upcoming, final season of Arrow, including Susannah Thompson (who played Moira Queen), Colin Donnell (who played Tommy Merlyn) and Echo Kellum, who recently took to social media to tease a surprising return to the series that may turn out to be behind the camera.
In the series, Tatsu Yamashiro, also known by the antihero moniker Katana, was a major supporting character in the third season, with a few scattered appearances since. Her husband, Maseo, was essentially Oliver's handler during his time in Hong Kong (during the period when he was supposed to be lost on an island but actually wasn't). She disliked him at first but came around to him after he saved her life. She would return the favor later, when Maseo brought a nearly-dead Oliver to his wife to be nursed back to health after his failed duel with Ra's al Ghul. She was eventually forced to kill her husband when he and other members of the League of Assassins turned against her, and rather than joining up with Team Arrow, she returned to her life. She would be instrumental to saving the life of Thea Queen, as well, when her bloodlust was eating away at her after she had been revived using the waters of a Lazarus Pit.
When Tatsu exited the show, there was an assumption on the part of many fans that it was because the character was making her way to the big screen, played by Karen Fukuhara (The Boys) in the David Ayer movie Suicide Squad. In that movie, as in the comics, her sword was enchanted by the souls of those she had killed -- as well as her unjustly murdered family.
There is no clear indication whether the version of Tatsu who appears on Arrow will be the same one as before, or whether she will turn out to be a character from another Earth, as many of the Arrow returns so far appear to be.
Arrow returns to The CW this fall for its eighth and final season, a ten-episode run that will bring the story of Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards, who exited the series at the end of last season), John Diggle (David Ramsey), and the rest of Team Arrow to a close (unless, of course, there is a spinoff planned). The series' end will coincide with The CW's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" mega-event, which will run for five episodes over December 2019 and January 2020, featuring episodes from Arrow, The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Batwoman. That seems particularly meaningful since in Arrow's season seven finale, The Monitor arrived to tell Oliver and Felicity that Oliver would need to join him — and that he would not survive the experience of helping The Monitor defend the multiverse in the Crisis. Season eight of Arrow will premiere on October 15, 2019.

'Halal' is an Arabic word which means lawful or permissible. Any food or drink which falls under this category is permitted for Muslim consumption. Examples of Halal food include vegetables, spices and meat deriving from animals slaughtered in accordance with the Islamic Law.
'Halal Compliance certified' refers to products which have been endorsed as Halal by a credible Islamic body (third-party certification). Often times, Halal certification involves a series of steps including ingredient verification, inspection/audit and approval by committee. In general, all Halal-certified products are Halal, but not all Halal products are Halal-certified.
How do we use the HAC SMS Service?
Have you certified any Soft Drinks as Halal in Sri Lanka?
No, HAC has not certified any Soft Drinks as Halal Compliant so far.
I would like to know if Whey is Halaal?
Whey / whey protein is a by-product of cheese manufacture. As long as the rennet enzymes used in cheese manufacture is from either Microbial/plant origin or sourced from a Halaal slaughtered animal, the product would be deemed Halaal.
Are there E Numbers solely from animal sources?
Whilst some additives with a common code such as E471, can be either of animal or plant origin and this latter type needs to be investigated on a case-by-case basis per product/ manufacturer.
Gelatin is used in the preparation of baked goods, ice cream, yogurt, jellies and many other confectionaries. It is also used in the medical and pharmaceutical industry. If the word gelatine appears on a label without reference to its source, it is generally derived from pig skins and cattle bones, so it must be avoided otherwise refer if the particular product is Halal certified.
Lecithin is an emulsifier. It is found in plants such as soybeans, in egg yolks and in other animal sources. Emulsifiers are compounds used to keep oils or fats and water dispersed in one phase (i.e., they prevent oil and water from separating).
If the lecithin is derived from plants, egg yolks or halal animals slaughtered according to Islamic law, it is Halal. Otherwise it is not.
E-Numbers represent specific food additives, used by the industry in the manufacture of various food products. These E-Numbers have been formulated by the European Economic Community (EEC) and are universally adopted by the food industry worldwide.

Where can I get to know the latest Halal certified products from?
You can search our site for the relevant products. You can also download a PDF from clicking here.
Highland is NOT Halal compliance certified by HAC.


Liberal arts: the ever-intriguing programs within universities that instill knowledge versus technical skills and often explore the dynamics of the human experience.
From sociology to philosophy, students choose these majors for a variety of reasons.
aybe they have aspirations of attaining post-baccalaureate degrees.
Whatever it may be, something drove them to take on a task that may prove more challenging than they expected.
Once upon a time, a bachelor's degree spoke volumes. According to Time, in 1973, 47 percent of high school graduates went on to college.
Now, it's hard to look back on your senior year of high school and imagine over half of your classmates being left out of the "Where are you going?" conversations.
A bachelor's degree made a stand-alone case that individuals in possession were undoubtedly good job candidates.
Their academic achievement stood out from their peers and put them ahead of the game.
Unfortunately, those days are gone. Perhaps those feeling the effects of this the most are graduates of the liberal arts.
In 2014, Forbes released an article titled "New Study: Is No Degree Better Than A Liberal Arts Degree?" writer Susan Adams presents a recent finding that 64 percent of hiring managers said they would consider candidates without a day of college while fewer than 2 percent were actively seeking candidates with liberal arts degrees.
Granted, from a hiring perspective, you can't blame respondents for not actively seeking folks with a knowledge-based degree rather than that of a hard skill.
A candidate who can tell you all about the Stanford prison experiment might not hold the same appeal as one with experience using search engine optimization.
But, because of this, I argue that a reformation of advisement within these programs is necessary to ensure a higher success rate for students post-graduation.
I present this argument based on experience. I graduated with a BA in interpersonal communication with a minor in psychology in 2013.
I took the GRE and fully intended to enroll in graduate school for marriage and family therapy.
That was my plan until I (post-graduation) actually did research on how much an MFT makes — something around $45,000 after about $90,000 spent on the master's degree in addition to the nearly $40,000 I racked up at a cheap undergrad. Let's not even get started on the cost of pursuing a Ph.D.
This disgusted me to say the least. I always considered graduate school an investment. The simplest rule of investing is anything with a negative return (ROI) should be forgone.
Between the cost of living and loan payments, how long would it be until my ROI became positive?
I didn't know eliminating debt was something I valued so much until I graduated because no one ever explained it to me.
So, in true Millennial fashion (being focused on the immediate future), my graduate school dreams have been put on the most distant of back burners.
In college, I had a good advisor. He challenged me in the classroom and encouraged me in our advisement sessions.
However, I never felt like I was held accountable for my progress toward a post-graduation goal.
The only requirement for our major outside of the classroom was an internship.
People scramble to get these internships at the last second, simply so they can get their diplomas.
They often have nothing to do with a student's aspirations and are mindlessly slapped on résumés.
But, what if a student has no particular aspirations? What if a student hasn't researched the implications of his or her aspirations, much like my aforementioned experience?
Job availability, graduate school, ROI and other "tough love" subjects need to become more prominent in academic advisement.
You can't discourage someone from pursuing what he or she loves, but the hand-holding needs to stop.
I remember it like it was yesterday: I was a senior at Bloomsburg University taking a course called Conflict Management & Resolution.
On one of the first days of class, our professor had us go around and state what we intended to do after college.
I was shocked by how many of my classmates responded with things like "marketing" and "public relations."
There were majors specifically for those subjects at Bloomsburg, so why were these kids in interpersonal communication?
Isn't this major a precursor to a master's in counseling or social research? Had their advisors made no suggestion toward changing?
How were these students going to get jobs with no skills related to the field they planned on pursuing?
I had so many questions that someone of influence in their lives should have been asking.
I won't downplay the job of the academic advisors. At least at Bloomsburg, they serve as both advisors and professors.
However, I am making a call to all of them to put an end to the money pit that is liberal arts degrees without proof of a promising future.
I'm not saying they should make students feel bad for pursuing the subject of their choice.
I am saying they should expose them to the (harsh) realities of their decision. Ask them questions.
Suggest changing majors when you know it's right. Hold them accountable.
If I wanted to be really radical, I would suggest forcing students to be counseled on debt, graduate school, the job market, etc., before allowing them to enter the major.
I would suggest forcing them to change to a hard skill like accounting or graphic design if they have zero direction and show no signs of interest or effort toward their post-grad life.
None of this is possible, of course, because it's so extreme.
But, maybe it would take such extremity to lift graduates like me out of this tortured limbo.

According to the student pilot, while flying the final leg of the traffic pattern, during his solo flight, he noticed that the airplane was "too high," and pulled the power to idle. Then he noted that the airplane was "too fast" and applied back pressure to the control yoke. The airplane then ballooned and subsequently the student pilot added power to go around; however, the airplane impacted the runway in a nose down attitude, became airborne, impacted the runway again, the nose gear assembly collapsed, and the airplane came to rest in the dirt on the left side of the runway. The accident sequence resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage. There were no reported preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The student pilots inadequate landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing.

Studio collectives are cool, no argument there. Although there is one thing that bothers me about them and that is, in some cases, they end up being more of a scrapheap than workspace. When we arrive on the other hand, we are met with an organized and personable kitchen and a meeting room on the end of the hall. As we are shown around one can see that most of the spaces are occupied with the people who rent them, which eliminates another problem I find myself having with studio spaces and that is, they often end up empty even though they have technically been rented out. After the short walk around we take a seat in the studio with Ninna Thorarinsdóttir and sit down for a short talk.
Ninna, what do you do for a living?
I'm an illustrator and a graphic designer mainly. On a day-to-day basis? Well, I graduated as a product designer but I specialized in graphics and fashion. Essentially the presentation part of the product? Correct.
What was it that brought about this specialization?
I think it was mainly down to the fact that the University workshops weren't that great and I decided to focus on the things I could do, let's say, not in the actual workshop but more on the computer. I love my computer! Don't we all?
I saw on your website that you have been working for Icelandair Hotels, making individual logos for their hotels, how did that come about?
It was mainly by word of mouth, someone knew someone who knew me and then few of us sent in our proposals and they picked from that selection.
Looking at your work I sense a lot of joy and pleasure in the work itself, do you try to seek out projects that are more in line with what you like or is work just work?
I really try to get projects that I will enjoy. You have for instance been working for the band Bloodgroup, designing their album covers. Yes, these are definitely my favourite costumers, bands and artists.
What is your artistic/creative method of work when you have customers like those?
Well I try to approach each project differently from the one before and from a new perspective, I try to mix up my methods, learn as much as possible and challenge myself more each time. For instance, each month I produce a drawing for Time Out Amsterdam and I try to do something new and challenging each time so that I learn something new from it. It doesn't have to be anything more than a new filter or a new technique.
Time Out is a current events magazine, do you have carte blanche on the content or do you try to work from what is happening at the time in Amsterdam?
I try to keep up with what's going on but I have free reign with my work.
How long did you stay in Holland?
I studied there for three years and then I worked for another two, both for design companies and freelancing.
You exhibited in Amsterdam as well?
Yes, once with my fake band. I graduated with the fake band, I had wanted a vehicle to facilitate my desire to work with fashion, graphics, video and everything really and so I created a mock-up band, found band members and made a video, created the clothing and the album cover, posters and everything that comes up around a band process. Then we were invited to play a venue which we did and performed, wearing these crazy dresses, a bit like a disco ball when the lights come on.
Some of the dresses are kinetic?
Some yes, I try to be as technical as I can in my work with clothing because I design for the stage. Another one here changes colour, not really but the effect is much the same. It took 566 hexagons which I cut, folded and glued together and then it was really hot and they started to unloose, so I had to put them back together again. In total I have redone it three times. I keep throwing it away, sometimes you grow tired of old projects but each time I throw it away I'm asked to show it somewhere, so now I have resolved not to throw it away. Suffer for fashion. Totally, models have been reluctant to wear the moving dress because it is spiky and battery powered and sometimes there are lights within it. Want to try? (This is said to our faithful photographer is halfway into one of them already in her attempts get the best possible picture). I have the remote here somewhere.
She stands up and goes over to the window to retrieve the famed instrument, turns it on and the dress starts to dance, mechanical and loud but very impressive, it assumes a life of its own and we wonder how it fits a person but we remember having seen the videos of the performances and that it works very well indeed.
It has been in storage for a while and therefore doesn't move as easily. I'll just have to tweak it a bit to get it back to full function.
Living and working in China?
Intense immense, six day work week and long days despite the fact I had it a bit more relaxed as I wasn't Chinese. That meant that on occasions I didn't have to work the weekends as well. It was amazing to be there and to get an insight into how they work and operate. I think I was in a weird place, the owner of the company, it was a graphic design firm by the way, was a real artist and I found myself doing weird things like making furniture from fruit and a giant ten meter T-shirt screen print and it was all a bit crazy. Culturally they have a different approach to design than the Anglo-American world we inhabit. True, but they are big fans of Europe and really just everyone but themselves and try to emulate the working practices of others, which is a bit sad. You feel they have little confidence in there ability and their culture, to them anything done buy anyone else is better than their own work, for me it was a strange experience.
How was life outside of the workplace?
At first I tried to take the bus and just go about my business, but in the end I gave up on that because I was being stared at all the time, in the end I just had to get a ride from my boss in his private car. I couldn't take the staring, I never got the feeling people bore me a grudge though. You miss the food from home and I realized how western I really am.
You moved home not long ago, how has that been?
It's not been without its difficulties but I've been very fortunate to move into here and meet people doing much the same as me, I think that has helped a lot. It's great to be home and I enjoy being around Icelanders, it all just takes a bit of time.
Ooh yes! I'm working on a project called Dance City with my friend Þórey Mjallhvít, we have been going around town recording people dancing which we will then compile into a single video, where in it we are researching how the people of Reykjavík dance. We have just finished putting it together and we got music from Amigo for this project. Now we're at the stage where we have enlisted the help of two dancers from the group Raven Artsa choreographer, who will help us find and make the Reykjavík dance. That will be the next video where we get people in the streets to dance the Reykjavík dance for us, for that video we got music from Ingi Björn Ingason. Are you co-operating with Reykjavík City Council on this project? Yes we got a grant for the project from them and will also be doing a workshop on Menningarnótt (Reykjavík cultural Night) where we will teach people the dance. Raven Arts dance group will teach the dance and we will also show the video. It will be shown at the Muses exhibition at Bakkaskemma, Granda.
Are you going to enlist the talents of the Mayor for the video?
Now that would be fantastic, but we have had an amazing amount of people dancing for us and I've been amazed at how many people are willing to dance in the middle of the street. Do you play them some music while they dance? Yes we have a small ghetto blaster with us and put on the Grílurnar and so far we have had loads of volunteers. All kinds? You just walk up to them and ask? Yes from small kids to the elderly who dance waltzes. This is staggering, I thought the majority of Icelanders were rather shy. I thought so to but it's been really great! You two must be really charming. My friend is really good at talking to people and being jolly. Sometimes we sing and dance along ourselves and that puts people at ease. It's been a really fun project. I hope the Reykjavík Dance will catch on like the Macarena, everyone knows the Macarena! A new national dance.

review of Wogglebug module
Before getting into this review, a bit of history.
I've played in an improvisational space rock band called F/i since the early 1980's. The band has changed a lot over the decades, and quite a few members have come, gone, come back, and left again, but that's another story!
It was probably around 1983 that F/i were playing a gig at a small venue in Milwaukee. At that time we were a three piece 'noise' ensemble, consisting of two synthesizers and short wave radio. After one selection, a voice yelled out from the back of dark room '...play some John Cage, baby!.....' After our set, this individual came up and I got into a long and really interesting conversation.
This person was none other than Grant Richter. That was my first encounter with Grant. We became friends. Grant eventually joined F/i, and is still a member to this day, but that's also another story!
photo of F/i, circa 2016. Grant Richter is third from the left, I'm second from the left.
What's relevant here is that Grant is an electronics genius. I don't say that lightly. A true genius. He not only owned an interesting collection of synthesizers and other devices, but he also could take them apart and put them together, modify them, and do all sorts of other things to them. He could come up with an idea, sketch out a rudimentary circuit design on a piece of scrap paper, look into his cigar box of odd parts, and in a few hours, solder together the prototype for a cool electronic device. Yes, he's THAT good!!!
In the early 1990's, he founded the Wiard Synthesizer Company, and began to produce and market his own line of synthesizer modules. Grant eventually sold the Wiard company to an English firm, where they are still available today. Before doing that though, Grant licensed a few of his modules to a couple of other companies, where they produced their own versions. Which brings us to this review.
One of his modules is called the 'Wogglebug'. Basically, this is a random voltage and trigger generator, inspired by the Buchla 'Source of Uncertainty' module, but with a couple of added twists. One of these twists is that the Wogglebug is divided into three sections, an audio source, the random voltage section, and a trigger/clock random burst generator. Being an audio source makes the Wogglebug a stand alone noise generator. It makes totally chaotic seemingly ring modulated slabs of, what I would call, 'texture'. At the moment, those are the only words popping into my head to describe it. The random voltage section has a sample and hold output, a 'smooth' output, and one called 'Woggle'. This woggle output puts out a varied voltage that goes quickly from highs to lows, depending on how you adjust the speed, It sounds buglike, hence the name. The 'Smooth' output is similar, but more predictable. The sample and hold functions like any other traditional sample and hold circuit. An interesting bit of trivia: One of the original Wogglebugs was purchased by a sound guy from Hollywood. It was used in the soundtrack of the film 'Men In Black 2'. Alien 'Bug' sounds?
The trigger section has a traditional clock output, as well as the burst section, which, depending on the adjustment of the controls, will put out a randomly timed clock/trigger output. You can do fairly slow randomized trigger outputs or machine gun like bursts. This can make for interesting control of any cv input on other modules.The Wogglebug can also be controlled externally by other cv/clock sources. This makes it an extremely versatile control module for your setup. I've plugged inputs and outputs of my Wogglebug into itself, creating feedback loops. This is something the original Buchla Source of Uncertainty, which the Wogglebug is an offspring of, could not be made to do. This is a unit that one has to play around and mess with in order to really get to know it. It has a 'quirkyness' which is hard to describe unless you manipulate the controls yourself. I'm not much of a techno-geek, so I can't tell you data as to the 'whys' or 'hows' it does what it does. The fact that it has audio outputs alone sets it apart from other random voltage/sample and hold units from other manufacturers.
I mentioned before that before selling the company, Grant Richter licensed the Wogglebug to a couple of other companies. One of these companies is MakeNoise systems. It's the MakeNoise version I own. They say they've redesigned the circuitry a bit. I'll take their word on that! One thing they added is a momentary 'stop' button in the gate/trigger section. It will freeze the action for as long as you hold the button down. I've not made much use of it yet, but I guess it's nice to know it's there! There is also another version of the Wogglebug available from Erica synthesizers. They offer a DIY kit version at a lower price. This version is closer to the original Wiard Wogglebug, without the redesigned circuitry of the MakeNoise version. Incidentally, the ORIGINAL Wogglebug is still offered by the Wiard Synthesizer company, now based in England and run by a person named Cary Grace, who, by the way, was also a member of F/i for a short time! Oh, in case you're wondering..You probably think it's cool to know a guy who runs a synthesizer company. No, Grant never gave me any free stuff! LOL

I find this a wonderful article! Thanks Richard! Having used the Buchla on various occasions Carl Howard's which if memory serves he sold it. A great history lesson here least to me.
Leslie Singer
Rick, thanks for the really great article. I look forward to sending you some voice stuff soon.

Where to start? I became involved with the cassette culture phenomena in the early '80's, around 1983 or so. It's amazing what myself and other were able to accomplish BEFORE the internet and home computers! I swapped cassettes and made contact with HUNDREDS of people. Hal McGee was one of the first people I got to know through the mail network.
Since I was a teenager, I've had an interest in experimental sounds and music, I have always been attracted to things outside the mainstream.
I've also always liked hard rock, and a lot of what I've done has been an attempt to fuse the two, not always very successfully.
I was in a band in the late 70's-early 80's called The Drag, sort of a Stooges/MC5 type of thing. I also, for a time, was in a punk band called The Shemps.
All of that led to two bands I'm currently involved with, F/i and Vocokesh, the latter being my main concern as of this writing.
Both are vocal-less instrumental spaced out jams bands, Vocokesh, in my opinion, being the more experimental ensemble. I also am heavily involved in electronic music, my interests are in the free form atonal realm.
I'm at work on a Eurorack modular system. I also own a small collection of Buchla 200e modules.
I very much enjoy communication, and welcome feedback and conversation with anyone with similar interests!

The literature on the interaction between socioeconomic status and IQ heritability is very mixed. Several studies besides Turkheimer's find such interaction (although in no other study is it as extreme as in Turkheimer et al. 2003), but others, including some with the very best study designs, find none. I am not going to try to adjudicate between these contradictory findings at this time. Rather, I will show some interesting, hitherto unpublished (well, careful readers of Boetel and Fuerst's The Nature of Race have seen them already) results pertaining to Turkheimer's study and the question of race differences.
It is quite natural to assume that Turkheimer's study was indeed about interaction between race and heritability. The twin sample used, recruited between 1959 and 1965 for the National Collaborative Perinatal Project (NCPP), was 43% white and 54% black. The inevitable inference is that as heritability is zero in poor families, and blacks are disproportionately poor, genes can hardly have anything to do with the lower mean IQ of blacks.
As can be seen, point estimates are similar across races, and confidence intervals are mostly overlapping. Despite the strong SES-heritability interaction, there is no race-heritability interaction in this sample.
The sample of 7-year-olds used by Beaver et al. was somewhat different from that of Turkheimer et al., because the former included also non-twin siblings and half-siblings in their analysis. Moreover, estimation in Beaver et al. was based on maximum likelihood with robust standard errors, which resulted in wide CIs despite large Ns. However, we have a confirmation that heritability and environmentality estimates did not differ significantly by race in the analysis by Turkheimer et al., either (Eric Turkheimer, personal communication, October 4, 2013; he did not have precise estimates at hand, though).
The upshot is that while environmental deprivation may render genetic differences less important in the determination of children's IQ, the typical black child in this large and downscale sample had apparently not been raised in deprived circumstances any more frequently than the typical white child in the sample. The lower IQs of blacks in this sample cannot therefore be put down to them having been exposed to environments less conducive to the expression of genetic variance in IQ than the environments experienced by whites.
Had the race-specific results been published by Turkheimer et al. back in 2003, we would have been spared much misleading speculation. But perhaps Turkheimer had his own reasons for withholding this information.
But we still know that in the national population black poverty rates are higher, and education is lower. So that would just mean that the study sample was unrepresentative or underpowered to detect that effect (you note the huge confidence intervals).
What was that IQ gap? Was it smaller than in samples with more representative poverty rates for black households?
The Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP) enrolled pregnant women at 12 academic medical centers in the United States in a nationwide cohort between 1959 and 1965. Women were enrolled at their first prenatal visit and were followed during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. The offspring were followed for 7 yr, with multiple questionnaires regarding medical and social history and detailed neuropsychological testing at 4 and 8 mo and 1, 3, 4, and 7 yr of age.
Of the 29,710 mothers who were included in this analysis, 14,171 were black and 15,539 were white. Overall, black mothers were younger (24 versus 25 yr), were heavier (prepregnancy BMI 23.3 versus 22.4), and had fewer years of education (10.3 versus 11.4 yr) than their white peers. They also were less likely to smoke (40.5 versus 52.3%), more likely to be anemic (22.9 versus 6.9%), and more likely to live in poverty (72 versus 39%).
Beaver et al. used all sibling pairs (although only one pair per family) and Turkheimer et al. used all twin pairs from those data, so mothers' characteristics should be similar to the full data set. Blacks were born to mothers with less education and a higher rate of poverty than whites, and the average levels of education were lower than the national averages for both black and white mothers. The sample was indeed unrepresentative in the sense that the blacks mothers in particular were poorer and less educated than the general population, but this should have made it easier to find race-ACE interactions.
underpowered to detect that effect (you note the huge confidence intervals).
The huge CIs are really an artifact of the robust standard errors that Beaver et al. perhaps needlessly used. The sample sizes were rather large, so the CIs would have been very small otherwise. Morever, the lower bounds of the black CIs for h^2 were 0.29 at age 4 and 0.36 at age 7, that is, nowhere near zero and not greatly different from heritabilities usually seen at that age in whites.
It is a paradox that there was SES-h^2 interaction but no race-h^2 interaction, even though blacks had lower SES. As to why this was the case, I can only come up with highly speculative explanations. Then again, the black-white SES difference (either in this sample or in the general population) was (and is) not that great, so we would not expect lots of interaction in any case. The point is that there is no evidence for lower genetic variance in IQ for blacks, even though several environmental theories of the IQ gap predict that heritability must be much lower in blacks.
So does that mean the 28% of blacks not living in poverty collectively had roughly as much genetic variance as the 61% of whites not living in poverty, with much higher per capita genetic variance?
I would like to read them. But this seems to indicate a big hole in understanding, which should add some doubt to claims that might connect to it.
1) Being black is negatively correlated with IQ mean and variance as well as SES. The strong SES-h^2 interaction found by Turkheimer et al. could be an artifact caused by their decision to analyze blacks and whites together as a single sample.
2) Perhaps blacks are naturally more resilient in bad environments. Thus the same bad environment would be worse for white than black cognitive development, which would explain why black h^2 is not lower despite the SES-h^2 interaction.
3) IQ scores may begin to suffer from measurement non-invariance in whites at less severe levels of deprivation than in blacks. This could happen if poor whites are more isolated from the mainstream culture than poor blacks, causing measurement non-invariance and (perhaps artifactual) reductions in h^2. This is probably a false explanation though as poor whites outscore poor and even well-to-do blacks.
If this is true, shouldn't environmental interventions to boost cognitive ability show greater gains for poor whites than poor blacks? My knowledge of the literature is cursory, though I know of this Head Start study which seems to show that this is the case in regards to PPVT scores.
Or it would mean that the causal arrow runs in the opposite direction; IQ gaps –> SES gaps.
1 SD in this sample.
Impoverished blacks were over-represented in this sample.
What were the IQ means and variances by race?
The fact that the means are nominally above average reflects the Flynn effect and outdated norms. The sample is almost certainly below average in IQ for both races.
Thanks. Now, has anybody graphed a scatterplot of pairs of with the first twin's IQ on one axis and the other twin's IQ on the other axis? You can use color of point to distinguish race and shape to indicate SES status.
Are we seeing a lot of pairs of poor black twins where one twin has a quite high IQ and the other has a low IQ? That's what most of the journalism about Turkheimer's article implies, but I bet that if anybody plotted this graph we wouldn't see many examples of this.
However, I cannot see anywhere in the Turkheimer article where that is discussed at all. It seem from a cursory scan of the Turkheimer article that they compared MZ to DZ twins.
In fact Turkheimer et al. performed statistical analysis based on race, education, and income individually…. AND REPORTED not finding any statistical significance in these samples.
why don't you read the article again?
That's incorrect. There was no analysis of whether race interacts with ACE components in the focal sample in Turkheimer et al. 2003.
There is currently no reason at all to think that any significant portion of the IQ differences among socially defined racial groups is genetic in origin.
…The heritability of intelligence, although never zero, is markedly lower among American children raised in poverty. Several interpretations of this fact are possible. The one we find most persuasive is that children raised in those circumstances are unable to take full advantage of their genetic potential because they do not have access to the high-quality environments that could support it.
If you disagree, explain how pondering on findings of Turkheimer et al. — if interpreted as indicating no race x h2 interaction and if interpreted in light of the environmental disadvantage hypothesis/bio-ecological model as Turkheimer does — is supposed to undercut support for a genetic hypothesis? After all, Scarr's environmental disadvantage hypothesis, cited in Turkheimer et al., makes the explicit prediction that heritabilities will be depressed in the environmentally disadvantaged group — and this prediction is precisely what Turkheimer et al.'s unreported results contradict.
