There are no clips of Dunmall's Brass Project, so here's some footage of him with Mark Sanders (drums) and Alan Niblock (double bass), a trio which so far as I'm aware has never recorded.
An excellent week on an important musician. Thanks to all the reviewers who did a wonderful job, there's been a lot of outstanding writing. It gave me a much better understanding of Mr Dunmall's music. After the Leandre week this is another great achievement.
It sent me back to the album, which I bought as soon as I was aware of it, to listen anew. I often find that Dunmall's albums with larger ensembles have a greater depth and staying power than the trios which are invariably a great listen nonetheless. In the larger works I think Dunmall's sheer musicality comes shining through both through written, like Maha Samadhi or spontaneously composed works, like Mumuksuta.
I do think that his desire to catalogue his work with such a huge number of recordings may have something to do with not being better known. It can seem a daunting step into such a catalogue and a potentially expensive task to get a grasp on the sheer range of his work. I'd encourage people just to dive in somewhere and go from there - the rewards are waiting.
Great review and excellent closure of an interesting week of articles. Dunmall was a little under-exposed in our reviews over the years, so this was a good catch-up exercise.


(BROOKLYN, N.Y.) -- NEWS: Personal best performances and a record tying high jump marked an exceptional early start to the indoor track season, as thousands of girls and young women from all over the East Coast competed in the opening preliminaries of the 45th anniversary Colgate Women's Games this past weekend (Dec. 15-17) at Pratt Institute this weekend.
Sunday in the Elementary B division, 11 Year-old Kiara Davis, a fifth-grader at Wilbur Elementary School in Bear, DE achieved two personal bests--tying the High Jump record by clearing 4'9" in her first time competing in the event at the Colgate Women's Games. Davis also won the 55 Meter-Hurdles in a swift 9.78.
Saturday In the Mid School division, four-time Colgate Women's Games' record holder Avery Lewis of Westtown School, West Chester, PA achieved another personal best in the 55M in a very fast 7.12, and also won the 200M in 25.37. Lewis has competed and won first place, setting division records since Elementary A, and has been called the nation's fastest sprinter of her age every year since first grade. Tai Sheppard of Community Partnership Charter School (CPCS) in Brooklyn took first in the 55M Hurdles in an impressive performance and personal record of 8.37. Eyota Bey of Cedarbrook Middle School won the 400 Meters in 1.00.12; and newcomer, Junior Olympic Champion Juliette Salazar from Peekskill Middle School, scored a debut double win in the 800M (2.27.94) and 1500M (4.57.91).
Friday, the High School division saw additional opening week personal records from newcomer Rori Lowe of Columbus High School in the Bronx, who won the 55 meters in 7.31; and Manhattan's Mariam Cisse of Harlem Children's Zone who tossed the Shot Put 11.33 meters. Adia Palmer, from Bishop Laughlin High School in Brooklyn, won the 800M (2.23.45). Phoebe Myers of Young Women's Leadership School in Queens won the 55 Meter Hurdles in 8.46; and Brianna Brown of Collegiate Institute for Math and Science in the Bronx won the 200 meters in 25.61. Additional High School and other division results can be found here (results): http://www.colgategames.com/results.
Meet Director Cheryl Toussaint said the number of athletes opening the first weekend of events with such exceptional performances may foreshadow a highly competitive season, as she reflected on the truer importance of this 45th anniversary of the Colgate Women's Games.
Toussaint said, "The Colgate Women's Games provide girls and young women a means to develop self-esteem and a sense of personal achievement through competitive participation in track and field in a friendly, supportive environment. From thousands of first timers who might not otherwise participate in an organized sport, to hundreds who have developed into the nation's top talent to an incredible 26 alumni who have achieved Olympic fame, we are all most proud of the countless lives changed for the better by the experience of participation. We are so thankful for Colgate-Palmolive Company's steadfast commitment to better the lives of so many through 45 years of support through athletics with a focus on continuing education."
Participation in the Colgate Women's Games is completely free. Girls and young women compete within their own grade divisions for ribbons, medals and points. Events include 55 meters, 55-meter hurdles, 200 meters, 400 Meters, 800 meters, 1500 meters, high jump and shot put.
Four preliminary meets and a semi-finals at Pratt Institute will determine who will compete at the finals at the New Balance Track and Field Center at The Armory, New York Saturday, February 2, 2019, where trophies and educational grants-in-aid from Colgate-Palmolive Company are awarded to top place finishers in each grade division.
Hopeful young track stars, parents, coaches and recruiters can find information about the program and follow results at http://www.colgategames.com/results.

Educators at the University of Missouri-Kansas City believe in pairing technology with academics for their 14,000 students. As part of the university's Ideal Learning Environment (ILE) program, many of its classrooms are equipped with high-tech teaching tools, including document cameras, high-resolution slide projectors, high-speed computers, wireless mice and microphones, VCRs and laptop docking stations.
Attended primarily by commuter students, the university's policy is to keep its 120 classrooms unlocked from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., allowing students access for study activities between classes.
The commitment to technology and policy of openness improves educational life for students and teachers, but for one university staff member, it had the potential to create more worry. Tom Brenneman, now the university's director of information services, has worked with the university for more than 17 years. To protect the school's technological assets from both human and natural threats, Brenneman needed a security tool that would combine environmental sensors ¡ª measuring temperature or moisture ¡ª with the ability to record images.
In 2001, Brenneman began deploying a series of network monitoring appliances called Wallbotz. Produced by Austin, Texas-based Netbotz, the devices are designed to detect and prevent the factors that often cause equipment failure and network downtime. Comprised of integrated environmental sensors and a digital video camera, the devices allow real-time monitoring through a customer's existing network.
"We've taken a customer network ¡ and used it to create a PTN, or a physical threat network," says Mitch Medford, Netbotz' chief technology officer. "(We) think of (Netbotz) almost as sentries. These are intelligent appliances. You just plug them in the network and they wake up."
The integrated sensors detect excess heat, humidity, smoke and lack of airflow, while an audio sensor listens for smoke alarms, intrusion detection alarms or sounds far exceeding the ambient noise level. Exterior ports allow for the addition of more sensors, such as amperage monitoring, or third-party dry contact sensors for water or glass-break, for example. The built-in camera allows users to view the protected room using a Web interface, and automatically begins to record when motion is detected or a door opens.
Alerts and sensor data are posted to Web servers or sent in e-mails to designated recipients. The appliances can work independently or as part of an enterprise management solution, such as Computer Associate's Unicenter or Hewlett Packard's OpenView IT/Operations. Netbotz also offers a network server that customers can use to group and manage their fleet of Wallbotz appliances. If environmental readings exceed parameters in the third floor calculus classroom, for example, the icon for that site glows red on the central map. Historical alarm data can be accessed by appliance and date, and data can be exported to other applications or used to generate graphs and reports.
At the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Brenneman uses the Netbotz Central Standard system, armed with 120 gigabytes of storage, to manage 50 Netbotz appliances. This year, however, he will upgrade to the NetBotz Central Enterprise system, necessary when the university adopts the Netbotz 500 series of appliances.
The new series is SSL-encrypted and supports 802.11 wireless networking. It provides resolutions from 640 ¡Á 480 at 30 frames/second to 1280 ¡Á 1024 at 10 frames/second, and can operate four cameras with full-voice recording at the same IP address. "The new 500 series has really squelched one of my biggest complaints and that's resolution," Brenneman says.
Soon the university will shift the older 300 series into the smaller IT rooms, server storage areas and boiler rooms, making space in the classrooms for the 500 series, equipped with three cameras each. The school's 120 GB server will support the Netbotz installed in storage areas, and Netbotz pods deployed in local K-12 classrooms through a partnership with the local school district. The new enterprise server will handle the host of images generated by the new high-resolution cameras in the classrooms. Eventually, Brenneman plans to equip all of his 120 classrooms with new appliances.
Brenneman also purchased extra leak sensors for the campus television station located below an air conditioning system cooled with chilled water. "We've had the chilled water lines break and drip onto the cameras. Now we can take action before it causes irreversible damage," he says.
Typically, the campus police dispatcher and the supervisor of the ILE program monitor the system each day. Using an add-on software option called NetBotz Surveillance, staff members can view up to 25 live continuous thumbnail images.
"I can look at (the Netbotz units) not only for surveillance and classroom security, but I can also check when lights are turned on (in classrooms), or if equipment has been left on," Brenneman says. "I can also verify people's time cards by checking the stored surveillance images. You can use it for a variety of things."
In case an equipment repair were needed, without the systems' eyes, IT staff members would have to travel across campus to the classroom, find out whether it was occupied and then return at a later time ¡ª wasting time and employee resources. "As a supervisor, I want to be able to go to one place and see all (the classrooms)," Brenneman adds.
"When the system is down, we're in a panic. Certainly because of security, and because it's nice to be able to look in the room and see if anyone is in there before you go there," he adds.
Netbotz has also helped to solve several thefts and pranks since being installed. One student decided it would be humorous to disconnect all the electronics in a classroom before the teacher arrived. The prank backfired, explains Brenneman: "The problem was his face was right in front of the Netbotz when he was unplugging it, so that information was recorded on the server with a date and time." The student didn't realize that a Wallbotz sends an alarm to the command center when it is disconnected from the system.

Season's Greetings (1953)


When I was given the opportunity to do an exchange semester abroad, I had a place in mind that I wanted to go…It was somewhere as far from home as possible and a place that would stay warm and sunny for most parts of the year. Just like that I'd found that place and began my plans to move to the Sunshine Coast. When I told people about my decision, many of them warned me about the thing that I was so excited about: sunshine.
Coming from a city in Switzerland, where summer is a total of 15 days (if we are fortunate), I was looking forward to the sunshine down under and spending time outdoors. For me, the feeling the sun on my skin not only makes me smile but is a sure remedy for any kind of "bad day".
This got my attention. But again, I thought applying sunscreen meant looking shinny and washed-out for the first hour or so while it soaked in. That's when she told me, "I found this amazing new transparent, non-greasy sunscreen and it smells like coconut!" She had me at 'transparent'. So, before a short trip to Israel, I went and bought a bottle of my own, and I loved it. I packed it in my suitcase and took it with me, only to come back home and find it untouched in my suitcase. Yup, as I mentioned before, the concept of sunscreen was irrelevant to me and since I don't get sunburnt, I simply forgot about the sunscreen all together.
As I was getting ready for my adventure in Australia, all my friends warned me about the intensity of the sun and the importance of applying sunscreen multiple times a day. The way they described it seemed terrifying but I wasn't surprised, because those were my "Caucasian friends". They are super cautious of the mild "Swiss sun", so I could see why they would be horrified by the strong "Australian sun", especially when the ozone layer is rather thin on that side of the planet. So, I made a mental note to consciously apply sunscreen once I got there. After all, I did not want to be a wrinkly old lady before I hit 30. So, the first thing I did after landing in Australia was get myself a bottle of SunSense 50+ SPF sunscreen. I can proudly say, I've managed to develop a habit of applying sunscreen every single day.
I am a very social person and love hanging out with my Aussie friends outdoors. I chose to live near the beach, so I could learn to surf and I can say I'm slowly picking it up. My friends are not only fun to be with, they also help me with applying sunscreen on my back when we're outdoors – all I have to do is smile and say, "please". But as much as I like hanging out with them, I also enjoy my "me-times". Me-time here on the Sunshine Coast means reading a book under the sun, by the beach. This however comes with the challenge of applying sunscreen on my back…by myself.
Funnily enough, the universe connected me with Raph, the founder of bakslap when I was looking to find a business to do one of my university assignments. His product bakslap was the answer to my sunscreen challenges, allowing me to apply sunscreen to my back and body by myself even when having me-time!
I am genuinely excited to now be a part of team bakslap, even if it is only for a couple of months and I look forward to owning my very own bakslap soon. Their passion for creating awareness regarding melanoma and their contribution to the Melanoma Institute Australia of $1 for every product sold, has inspired me in many ways. Raph's story and his motivation to get this business running and bring bakslap into the market is contagious. Working with him has educated me on the importance of sunscreen in daily-life, regardless of how blessed I am with my melanin level.
I am eager to see where this journey will take me and wish Raph and his team all the very best in the future.


An explosive new documentary, 'Fed Up', shows how the food industry is destroying our health in the sole purpose of making money.
Did you know that 80% of the 600,000 food products sold in the US have added sugar?
Sugar is considered to be the legal drug of our age and hopefully, in the future, it will be labeled as harmful, the same as cigarettes are today, due to all the diseases it has been linked to.
This documentary, 'Fed Up', blows the lid off everything we thought we knew about food and weight loss, revealing a 30 year campaign by the food industry, aided by the US government, to confuse and mislead the American people, resulting in one of the largest health epidemics in history.


People with the second collection of traits foster effective teamwork and change management, bringing cohesion to a group. Those strong at motivating tend to be charismatic leaders adept at spurring action by creating a work environment that tolerates failure as a necessary aspect of the innovation process. Networking is the essential skill in maintaining connections among all the stakeholders in a project. Successful innovators seek input from outside the team and—as importantly—outside the organization, linking with ecosystem partners such as universities, other start-ups, or incubators.
People with this skill combine attention to detail and the ability to anticipate roadblocks with an ease in developing relationships, talents that make them adept at resolving conflicts.
The final group of traits enables quick decision-making amidst uncertainty while maintaining a realistic pace of progress. Pioneering skills enable individuals to break down ideas into an achievable sequence of activities. These team members tend to be the first to challenge the status quo, have resilience and perseverance when faced with setbacks, and quickly adapt plans to new input or conditions. Deciding encompasses strong critical-thinking skills that enable people to draw conclusions from imperfect information.
"Deciders" blend pattern recognition with a high degree of pragmatism which enables them to synthesize insights, draw implications, and get things done. Tabulating, meanwhile, is the ability to apply financial modeling to size an opportunity and then use scenario planning to de-risk a given project.
"Tabulators" use their quantitative orientation to accurately judge risks and payoffs as they plan their initiatives.

Social and gender inequity is high in Venezuela. Inequity has become more acute with structural adjustment, the shrinking of the middle class, and growing poverty. Health policies derived from the structural adjustment programme (SAP) have been speedily implemented. By contrast, the slowness with which international agreements signed by Venezuela on the right to health are being implemented indicates an absence of political will in this field. However, until actions, measures, laws and initiatives to correct gender disparities promoted by the National Council of Women (CONAMU) are implemented, these are mere formality.
Both governmental and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have various programmes to fight gender disparities. These programmes are being incorporated into the National Plan for Women, which was designed with the participation of civil society. However, given the feminisation of poverty, there is cause for concern over the non-participation of NGOs in the design of economic and social adjustment policies.
Structural adjustment and health policies
The transition towards a market economy in Venezuela has been on the table since 1983. Venezuela signed a 'Letter of Intent' with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1989 that establishes guidelines for the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP). With SAP, privatisation and decentralisation became the axes of health policies. The State's responsibility was turned over to the population. People have a right to minimum assistance only in the event that they fail to satisfy their most pressing needs.
In 1989, the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic referred to the crisis in the health sector in the following terms: "...there is in fact a crisis of assistance in the country, characterised by progressive deterioration, deficient provision of services in all areas, misappropriation of resources, inadequate management of facilities where hospital centers operate, appearance of diseases that had been eradicated previously, unsanitary conditions in these facilities, lack of management, lack of attention to staff problems, poor maintenance and scant conservation of costly medical and surgical equipment and material, a deplorable condition of the laboratories, lack of equipment and lack of preventive medicine in the country." (Office of the Attorney General of the Republic: En defensa del ciudadano, Caracas, 1989. Page 53).
Health indicators had fallen at the same pace as policies abandoning the preventive approach were implemented. Far from halting this fall, privatisation under SAP accelerated it. Terms such as "socialisation," "administrative co-management," "semi- privatisation" were used to identify a process which, from 1990, awarded hospital installations as free loans to doctors, bio-analysts, dentists, etc. who had been providing their services from the private sector.
In 1991, the President of the Republic appointed a Special Commissioner to carry out the pilot plan for "Modern Hospital Management" and the Hospital Restructuring Committee was established. As a first step in restructuring towards privatisation, concessions were made to the private sector consisting of "the transfer of administration and operation of hospitals and other public sector services to enterprises and institutions of a private nature" (Commission for restructuring hospital management: Documento Estrategia. Caracas, 1991).
In 1989, at the start of SAP, 79.19% of the Venezuelan population lived in abject or relative poverty, a percentage that has remained almost unchanged. The figure for 1992 was 78.19%, but the numbers of people living in abject poverty had increased. Fourteen per cent of the population lived in the "fourth world", the situation qualified by UNESCO of people who are condemned never to break away from being underprivileged. Given the magnitude of poverty, the logic of SAP cannot be sustained.
The percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) allocated to health in 1980 was 2.29%. Undergoing variations, it reached a ceiling of 2.63% in 1992 and fell to 1.87% in 1995. According to international parameters, 5% is considered an adequate portion of GDP to be spent on health.
1989: from sharp change to great fall
The year 1989 marks the beginning of a fall in most health indicators. With SAP, preventive and educational programmes were abandoned and basic sanitation services such as piped water and sewage collapsed.
a) Food and health indicators
Contagious diseases that were considered eradicated or under control years ago increased at an alarming rate. From 4,200 cases of malaria in 1982, there were over 21,283 cases in 38 weeks in 1997. Dengue reappeared in 1989 and in 1997, there were over 17 thousand cases by November. Two hundred seventy-five thousand cases of diarrhea were reported in 1988; in 1991, this figure had almost doubled to 494 thousand cases. In 1984 there were 2,438 cases of tuberculosis; in 1995 this doubled to 5,232 cases with 764 deaths. There have already been two outbreaks of cholera in the 1990s. The last one at the end of 1996 is still active, with over 2,000 cases up to October 1997.
According to 1992 records, there has been an increase in eight diseases. Some of these, such as measles - which reached epidemic proportions in 1994, could be prevented. Others, such as scabiosis (94,941 cases) or amebiasis (62,500 cases), are associated with poverty and unhygienic living conditions.
According to records kept by the National Institute of Nutrition (INN) for the period 1982-1991, most nutrition indicators fell abruptly from 1989 onwards and remained below average for the decade over subsequent years. Although definite data are not available, INN confirms that malnutrition increased in 1996 over 1995 despite efforts of social programmes in this area.
Life expectancy at birth is 71.7 years (1990-95), while the SPT/2000 aims at 70 years of age. However, in 1990, when the value was 70.1 years, there was dramatic variation among social strata, with differences of up to 12 years. Life expectancy for the richest was 70.1 years; for the poorest, it was 58 years.
b) Mother and Child Health
In August 1997, the heads of the Puericulture and Pediatrics Society noted two main problems in child health: the reappearance of severe cases of malnutrition in school children; and the increase of pathologies of the gastro-intestinal and respiratory tracts in nursing infants (Periódico Últimas Noticias, 24.08.97, page 6.). Diarrhea continued to affect mainly children and reached epidemic levels in the Federal District at the end of 1996.
The infant mortality rate rose from 22.6 per 1,000 live births (LB) in 1988 to 24.9 per 1,000 LB in 1989. According to WHO/PAHO figures, it stabilised over the 1990-95 period when it descended from 31.3 to 28.1 per 1000 LB (Pulido de Briceño, Mercedes: Algunos indicadores generales de salud. Revista SIC. Op.cit. page 292). According to UNICEF, the figure is as high as 33.3 (MSAS/PAHO: Salud en Venezuela, Situación e indicadores basicos, Caracas, 1997, Page 29). However, there are alarming variations within the average, rising to between 31.5 and 50 per 1,000 LB in the states of Amazonas, Delta Amacuro, Nueva Esparta, Zulia and Bolivar (MSAS/PAHO: Aplicación de la Estrategia... Op. cit. page 23.). The SPT/2000 strategy goal for the year 2000 is 30 per 1,000 LB (PAHO: Salud para todos en el año 2000, Plan de acción para la instrumentalización de estrategias regionales, official document No.179, Washington, 1982, page vii).
A similar situation holds for the post-neonatal mortality rate. In 1988 it fell to 8.8 but in 1989 it started rising (10.3) and reached 12 in 1992. In parishes with 90% and 100% Unsatisfied Basic Needs (UBN), the rate of infant mortality is 2.5 times higher than in groups with 10% to 0% UBN. Similarly, death due to contagious diseases is three times more frequent, and death from perinatal causes is six times higher in the most underprivileged groups. Almost all cases of neonatal tetanus are recorded in municipalities with 70% of the population having UBN. (Malaga, Hernan: Proyecto Municipios Hacia la Salud. La experiencia venezolana, in WHO: Proyecto Municipios Hacia la Salud: la experiencia venezolana. Caracas, 1996, page 15.)
The main causes of problems in the area of reproductive health, as identified by the Ministry of Health, are the increase in poverty, the high percentage of pregnancies in women under 20 years of age, and lack of assistance from the public sector.
c) Environmental conditions
Adequate environmental conditions are essential to physical and mental health. These include access to drinking water, sewerage and waste disposal. In 1988, an estimated 25% of the population lacked drinking water, over 50% did not have sewerage and over 60% were without garbage collection (Marcano, Esther: El Problema de los servicios, in Revista Sic, N: 498, Caracas, September-October 1987). After 1989 the problem became more acute as most of the public services collapsed. This deterioration is reflected in the figures provided by the Central Office for Statistics and Computer Science (OCEI): by 1991, 43% of the population lacked drinking water and 50% of families were without sewerage.
Beyond national averages, in some social groups these services are practically non-existent. As is well-known, cholera is associated with poor environmental conditions. The outbreak of cholera in 1991 had 30.4 times more impact on indigenous groups than on the rest of the population. Thirty-five per cent of all cases were recorded among the indigenous population, which represents 1.55% of the total population of the country. The Wayuz and Warao ethnic groups were the most affected.
Abandonment of the preventive approach
Between the launching of SAP and 1993, the cost of medicine rose by an average of 1,923.22%. Presently the Medicine Bill is under discussion in the senate. It has been the subject of argument for some time now, mainly due to disagreements from the private sector. The discussion is centered on aspects related to price regulation, guarantees concerning medicine accessibility and the production of generic products.
Most outpatient centers lack essential medicines, making access by the population even more difficult. Furthermore, the basic (type I) outpatient network in the country is inadequate, although it is the first link in the health chain and constitutes the main nucleus for primary health care. According to national planners, there should be a type I outpatient center for every 20 thousand inhabitants. Thus, for example, in the state of Amazonas, in zones where access to these centers is by river, the only hospital may be six hours away by river. The cost of an air ticket to hospital (45 minutes flight) is the equivalent of 30% of minimum wage. This example illustrates the inequity of the distribution of outpatient centers that, according to official figures (3,797 in 1992), should be sufficient.
General coverage for medical care in the event of illness has also been reduced since the application of SAP. In 1963, there were 3.03 hospital beds per one thousand inhabitants. This figure had fallen to 2.5 in 1991 when, according to WHO, countries such as Venezuela required 5 beds per one thousand inhabitants.
Principles governing the right to health
The SAP has widened existing social gaps, particularly affecting the more vulnerable sectors. The Ministry of Health itself considers that, in spite of existing facilities, 30% of the population does not have access to health care for geographical, cultural or economic reasons (MSAS/WHO: Salud en Venezuela. Situación e Indicadores Básicos. Caracas, 1997, page 24).
Data and indicators show that the right to health has not undergone progressive development. Furthermore, the principle of free health services, guaranteed by national law, is violated by privatisation, which requires users to pay fees.
The principles of universality and non-discrimination have also been violated by SAP. Structural discrimination based on the failure to provide adequate health coverage for vulnerable groups (indigenous and peasant populations, persons in a situation of poverty, old people, etc.) has widened. Part of this structural discrimination is the lack of regulation of private centres and the failure to sanction those that deny emergency services to persons requiring them.
Adjustment policies, far from alleviating the impact of economic development on low income people, have accelerated the deterioration of living conditions in general and the enjoyment of health rights in particular. The basic principles of health rights have been seriously violated, including those of equity.
Venezuela has not honoured its commitments to ensure health rights. These rights are increasingly inaccessible to the majority of people. This reflects the contradiction between health needs and the profit-driven approach of SAP that marks health policies.
According to the Constitution, gender discrimination is forbidden in Venezuela. However, the actual situation - determined by the dominant culture - is different. This culture assigns to women of every social class a subordinate identity, manifest in various ways and in particular in their access to power and decision-making.
We do not have up-to-date information on the participation of women in the world of business. However, a study carried out in 1988 showed that in 599 private Venezuelan firms, women occupied 18.2% of the managerial posts.
The trade union sector is also difficult for women, and their participation in decision-making is extremely limited. For example, there are only two women on the Executive Committee of the Venezuelan Workers Union (CTV) and only one women managing one of the regional federations.
In the educational sector, where women predominate, most of the leaders are men. Venezuelan women participate widely in civil society organisations, especially in grassroots organisations. However, as in other fora, their participation in decision-making is not in keeping with their overall presence.
There exist a considerable number of women's organisations, feminist or not, that work steadily for women's rights. Most work with very little or no funding (state and/or external). In addition to their contribution of voluntary or insufficiently remunerated labour, women who belong to these organisation make monetary and in-kind contributions towards their operation.
The Non-Governmental Women's Organisations' Coordination (CONG) was created in 1985 to articulate and enhance the efforts of grassroots organisations. The CONG was created by grassroots non-governmental organisations to clearly express their autonomy of action and reaction to government policies.
The participation of women in political parties is important, but it is mainly at the base of the pyramid. The further up the structure and the closer to decision-making, the fewer women there are.

Formally, decisions have been taken on some mechanisms of positive discrimination to increase the role of women in political parties and the State. Three political parties have taken such decisions: the Movement towards Socialism (MAS), Democratic Action (AD), and more recently the Christian Social Party (Copei). However, women leaders in political parties are becoming aware of the need for action to make the participation quotas a reality, and to elect women candidates to office.
With regard to the State, CONAMU, with the support of the Congress of the Republic's Bicameral Commission on Women's Rights, the Center for Women's Studies at the Central University of Venezuela and non-governmental women's organisations, introduced a bill in congress supporting equal participation by men and women in political power. The bill, which is backed by over 20,000 signatures, should be considered during the debate on voting law reform.
In July 1997, there was a debate on the matter in the Chamber of Deputies, but the proposal introduced by women was not considered. In a first debate, agreement on a quota of only 30% women was achieved, without considering their position on the lists of candidates. Since the Venezuelan system entails a single-nomination election by lists, affirmative action would only reach those who were nominated on the lists, further reducing women's real possibilities. The bill still has to be discussed by the Senate and the Chamber in full.
Inequity in the labour market
Of the total employed in 1990, 19.8% were in the public sector and 80.3% in the private sector. In 1996, 17.1% of workers were in the public sector and 82.9% were in the private sector (see table attached).
For the period 1990-96, people aged 15 and over in the labour-force were occupied in activities referred to as "communal, social and personal services", "commerce", "manufacturing industry" and "agriculture, hunting and fishing" (in that order). However, on examination, the latter activity actually ranks third.
Labour-force indicators offered by OCEI show that unemployment has increased in absolute terms. From 751,052 people in 199 , it reached 1,122,119 people in 1996. The same source shows that the rate of redundancy rose from 9.3% in 1990 to 9.8% in 1996.
On the basis of the general labour-force indicators by sex provided by the OCEI Household Survey for the Second Semester/89-Second Semester/96, the following should be noted: the labour-force grew by 30.7% (23.4% men and 47.5% women); employment rose by 27.8% (23.9% men and 36.4% women); redundancy rose by 38.3% (10.1% men and 126.0% women); the rate of persons aged 15 or more seeking work for the first time increased by 199.1% (men 128.9% and women 262.4%).
The same household survey showed other points of relevance:
First, 57% of employed people have basic education (nine grades of study) with men predominating; 19.8% have completed secondary education and here, too, men predominate. However, among those with higher education (12.5% in 1989 and 16.5% in 1996), there was a slight predomination of women at the end of the period (see table attached).
Secondly, in the public sector, women predominated in the Second Half of 1996, in contrast with the situation in 1989. This may be because women tend to seek employment in the service sector, because of the low wages paid in the public sector (not always attractive to men), and/or because of the process of streamlining the State.
Thirdly, concerning occupational groups, it should be noted that more women are to be found than men in the professional and technical group. This does not occur in the managerial and administrative group, however. In the Second Half of 1989, there were 40,563 manager-administrators, in the Second Half of 1996 there were 75,100.
A brief comment should be made concerning the farm-workers group. The presence of women in this group is insignificant (see tables attached). However, there is an important discussion going on among those in charge of preparing national statistics concerning the invisibility of women's work in this sector.
There are salary differences between men and women in Venezuela. Thus, according to data provided by OCEI and the Central Bank of Venezuela, it is estimated that women earn 25% less than men for the same job. This difference is higher in some regions of the country, such as the Zulian region (42.7%), the Central region (38.6%) and the Capital region (26.9%).
Informal work increases
An analysis of the Venezuelan labour market based on data provided by OCEI, shows that, out of the total of employed workers, 41.8% were in the informal sector in 1990. By the second half of 1996, this figure had risen to 48.6% (see table attached).
During the entire period under consideration, workers in the informal sector were likely to be found in the sub-sector of "non-professional self-employed and workers in enterprises having four or less workers." Thus, in an increasing trend, by 1996, 30.5% of the employed population appears to be self-employed and 16.1% worked in enterprises with four or less workers (See table attached).
The Domestic Workers sub-sector showed a declining trend, falling from 3.4% in 1990 to 2.0% in 1996. Since domestic workers were not considered as self-employed, we suppose that an important portion of workers in this sub-sector work on a daily basis (see table attached).
The panel on "Women, Economy and Labour," which met during the Second Consultation Workshop for the Formulation of a National Plan for Venezuelan Women, made several clarifications on equity:
the lack of legal protection and sexual harassment makes many women leave their jobs;
statistics are insufficient to know the magnitude of professional and job-related diseases suffered by women workers at all levels;
labour laws and existing instruments for women's protection are scantly respected in Venezuela.
The Ministry of Labour recently shut down the office responsible for women workers, despite the many violations regarding maternity, requisites for pregnancy tests, certificates of sterilisation, etc., that should be penalised under Title VI of the Organic Labour Law.
Educating for equity
During the current decade, the Venezuelan public education system has undergone gradual deterioration. Such deterioration affects the poorest in particular (men and women). The World Bank (1994) noted that "...[i]n 1991, both men and women in the 10% poorest households had a little over half the education received by their peers in households that are not poor. There is also a gap between the levels of education of rural and urban households: in rural zones, both men and women had received an average of nearly half the education received by urban men and women. Although less than 20% of the Venezuelan population live in rural zones, apparently the country has had scant success in increasing the level of education in rural zones, especially those of low income groups." (Castillo, 1996, page 75).
However, equitable access of men and women to education at all levels is one of the major achievements of Venezuelan women. This fact is recorded with great precision by María Auxiliadora Banchs. Recent studies of Venezuelan women in the educational system agree that a major achievement of the second half of this century has been the massive incorporation of women into all the levels of formal education.
Freites, Castillo and Jiménez synthesise this achievement very clearly: "one of the most important revolutions that has taken place in the field of education, is the incorporation of women in all areas of education. Until 1950, women (in general) did not continue studying after primary school. The percentage of female illiteracy continues to be higher than that of men (8.87% for women and 8.3% for men). Women have overcome obstacles and are in forefront positions regarding higher education. According to OCEI data, in 1990, over 53% of the graduates from the higher education system were female." (Banchs: 199, p.19).
However, given the deep crisis of public education in the country and its loss of quality, there has been a high rate of school dropout in the past few years. We do not have reliable figures on this subject and do not know the comparative percentages between boys and girls. Obtaining a university degree does not ensure obtaining a decent job. Furthermore, "...in practice we find that graduates from private secondary schools enter university more easily" (Olivo: 1997).
The National Women's Council and the Ministry of Education, with the support of UNICEF, have been working on a proposal to remove sexism from textbooks, and on a project concerning "educating for equality." Revision of school textbooks has progressed, not so the project. At a recent consultation for the preparation of a National Plan for Women, one of the agreements concerned the promotion of such a programme. Pregnant adolescents are allowed to continue their schooling under Decree No. 1762 passed 9 October 1996 by the national executive and published in Official Gazette No. 296526 of 11 October 1996.
Female household heads
As a consequence of the economic crisis the country has undergone since the early eighties and the economic adjustment programme, the living conditions of most Venezuelan families have deteriorated. Added to this is the increase in regressive distribution of income and the concomitant increase in poverty.
National and international organisations studying poverty point out that this is the most important and acute problem existing in Venezuela today. Following the "poverty line" method, over two- thirds of households (65.8%) were poor in 1991, and this figure reached 66.2% in the first half of 1993, with abject poverty at 30.3% (Women, Economy and Labor Commission/CONAMU: 1997).
According to official figures, in 1995, 36.5% of the population lived in abject poverty; 32.1% of the urban population and 57.3% of the rural population were poor (OCEI: 1995).
Regarding households headed by women in the work force, we find that "...according to official figures, for the second half of 1994, there was a total record of 1,179,025 single-parent households, of which 30.1% were headed by men, while the remaining (69.9%) were headed by women. During the first semester of 1995, the total number of single-parent households fell slightly, to 1,174,486. This decrease corresponded to households headed by men (28.2%), while households headed by women rose to 71.8%" (Women, Economy Commission: 1997).
By the second half of 1995, the total number of households was 4,037,000 and of this total, 1,211,426 were recorded as being incomplete, that is to say households having only the mother or the father. Of this total, 71.0% were headed by women, which in relation to the total number of households in the country, means nearly 22%. (OCEI: 1995).

Defending Brazil's Coast From the Latest Oil Spill
MICHAEL FOX: This is Miguel and Barbara, two members of the Guardioes do Litorial, or the Coastal Guardians. That's a group of more than 200 volunteers that self-organized in the state of Bahia over WhatsApp a couple of months ago to respond to the disastrous oil spill that has been covering Brazil's coastline.
The spill has impacted more than 600 locations over 10 states, stretching 1500 miles. It's mindboggling. And it's far from over. The Brazilian government says that 4500 tons of oil debris has now been cleaned. But there is so much more. We're headed North, from Bahia's capital Salvador. We pull off the main road toward the town of Diogo. First stop. We're dropping off equipment. Government cleanup crews and teams of volunteers have been tackling the oil since it first appeared two months ago. But many did so without adequate tools to protect themselves.
And oil, it's toxic. In the short term, contact with the stuff, which lets off fumes of benzene, can cause headaches, shortness of breath, nausea, and diarrhea; in the long term, cancer. It's not good. The guardians have been collecting donations of equipment and they're sharing them with people looking to lead teams to clean-up the coast. People like Digão.
RODRIGO "DIGAO" GASPARINI: Yea, this 4 kilometer stretch is bad off, because no one goes there. Lots of bits of oil, and I've been picking them up little by little.
MICHAEL FOX: He's walked the whole Northeastern coast of Brazil. But that was before the spill.
RODRIGO "DIGAO" GASPARINI: When an area near the city gets hit with oil, people get together and they pick it up. But when it's far from the city, the oil stays there. It's just stuck. I'm someone who likes pristine nature. Those are the most beautiful spots, and right now I can only imagine they are covered in oil, because no one is there.
MICHAEL FOX: They leave him with masks, gloves and other gear. And then we're off, headed North to the village of Subauma. Today's not a cleanup day. We're here to check the status of the spill, particularly in the mangrove forests north of town. We don't expect to see much oil here. We're wrong.
MIGUEL SEHBE Look. Look at that.
MICHAEL FOX Beach-goers swim in the pools next to rows of drops of oil that came in on the tide. The endless lines of oil run for miles up and down the coast. Most will never be picked up, eventually drifting to sea, washing up on another shore, or being buried in the sand, leaching toxic components, potentially for years.
DERALDO SANTANA BRITO: Yeah. This is new. That shiny stuff, that's new. It wasn't here. It wasn't here.
MICHAEL FOX That's Deraldo Santana Brito. He's our guide. We roll over the beach, the heavy tires kicking up pieces of oil and flinging them into the air, mile after mile. North of town, oil slick covers many of the tide pools.
MIGUEL SEHBE: This is the most evil oil right here because it dissolves and there is a very high presence of the hydrocarbons.
MICHAEL FOX: It's mixed with shells and the rocks. It clings to the mangroves. These are sensitive ecosystems. Home to oysters and crabs, and the birthplace of many fish. Very few of these mangrove forests up and down the Brazilian coast have been cleaned. Meanwhile, old oil still covers the rocks alongside tide pools, where beachgoers swim.
DERALDO SANTANA BRITO: It's going to continue until they figure out what's causing it. And they haven't figured it out yet. It's really hard.
MICHAEL FOX: Thicker globs of oil are still washing up on beaches around the country. Just not here. Not right now.
BARBARA SILVA: We've seen some really severe situations over the last two months, with very big globs of oil. And now you can see that there are still these small remnants which are no less harmful or toxic.
MICHAEL FOX: This is the reality of Northeastern Brazil. It's just one beach along a coastline stretching 1500 miles.

Health Insurance Corruption
Health Insurance Exec Reveals Major Corruption in Industry
"I have seen how the [health insurance] industry's practices – especially those of the for-profit insurers that are under constant pressure from Wall Street to meet their profit expectations – have contributed to the tragedy of nearly 50 million people being uninsured as well as to the growing number of Americans who, because insurers now require them to pay thousands of dollars out of their own pockets before their coverage kicks in – are underinsured. An estimated 25 million of us now fall into that category."
– Wendell Potter, former health insurance industry executive on health insurance corruption, 6/24/09
Wendell Potter is a health insurance insider who led a highly successful career for 20 years in health care, serving eventually as a top public relations executive. After some deep soul searching, he made the critical decision to resign without pension and talk openly about the health insurance corruption he has personally witnessed in this increasingly profit-driven industry.
Potter's essay below reveals in detail how the industry's former priority of quality health care has now given way to the bottom line. To honor this courageous man, let us spread the word and work together to find equitable ways to provide needed health care for all.

The Health Care Industry vs. Health Reform
By Wendell Potter
I'm the former insurance industry insider now speaking out about how big for-profit insurers have hijacked our health care system and turned it into a giant ATM for Wall Street investors, and how the industry is using its massive wealth and influence to determine what is (and is not) included in the health care reform legislation members of Congress are now writing.
Although by most measures I had a great career in the insurance industry (four years at Humana and nearly 15 at CIGNA), in recent years I had grown increasingly uncomfortable serving as one of the industry's top PR executives. In addition to my responsibilities at CIGNA, which included serving as the company's chief spokesman to the media on all corporate and financial matters, I also served on a lot of trade association committees and industry-financed coalitions, many of which were essentially front groups for insurers.
So I was in a unique position to see not only how Wall Street analysts and investors influence decisions insurance company executives make but also how the industry has carried out behind-the-scenes PR and lobbying campaigns to kill or weaken any health care reform efforts that threatened insurers' profitability.
I also have seen how the industry's practices – especially those of the for-profit insurers that are under constant pressure from Wall Street to meet their profit expectations – have contributed to the tragedy of nearly 50 million people being uninsured as well as to the growing number of Americans who, because insurers now require them to pay thousands of dollars out of their own pockets before their coverage kicks in – are underinsured. An estimated 25 million of us now fall into that category.
What I saw happening over the past few years was a steady movement away from the concept of insurance and toward "individual responsibility," a term used a lot by insurers and their ideological allies. This is playing out as a continuous shifting of the financial burden of health care costs away from insurers and employers and onto the backs of individuals. As a result, more and more sick people are not going to the doctor or picking up their prescriptions because of costs. If they are unfortunate enough to become seriously ill or injured, many people enrolled in these plans find themselves on the hook for such high medical bills that they are losing their homes to foreclosure or being forced into bankruptcy.
As an industry spokesman, I was expected to put a positive spin on this trend that the industry created and euphemistically refers to as "consumerism" and to promote so-called "consumer-driven" health plans. I ultimately reached the point of feeling like a huckster.
I thought I could live with being a well-paid huckster and hang in there a few more years until I could retire. I probably would have if I hadn't made a completely spur-of-the-moment decision a couple of years ago that changed the direction of my life.
While visiting my folks in northeast Tennessee where I grew up, I read in the local paper about a health "expedition" being held that weekend a few miles up U.S. 23 in Wise, Va. Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals were volunteering their time to provide free medical care to people who lived in the area. What intrigued me most was that Remote Area Medical, a non-profit group whose original mission was to provide free care to people in remote villages in South America, was organizing the expedition. I decided to check it out.
That 50-mile stretch of U.S. 23, which twists through the mountains where thousands of men have made their living working in the coalmines, turned out to be my "road to Damascus." Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I reached the Wise County Fairgrounds, where the expedition was being held.
Hundreds of people had camped out all night in the parking lot to be assured of seeing a doctor or dentist when the gates opened. By the time I got there, long lines of people stretched from every animal stall and tent where the volunteers were treating patients. That scene was so visually and emotionally stunning it was all I could do to hold back tears. How could it be that citizens of the richest nation in the world were being treated this way?
A couple of weeks later I was boarding a corporate jet to fly from Philadelphia to a meeting in Connecticut. When the flight attendant served my lunch on gold-rimmed china and gave me a gold-plated knife and fork to eat it with, I realized for the first time that someone's insurance premiums were paying for me to travel in such luxury. I also realized that one of the reasons those people in Wise County had to wait in long lines to be treated in animal stalls was because our Wall Street-driven health care system has created one of the most inequitable health care systems on the planet.
Although I quit my job last year, I did not make a final decision to speak out as a former insider until recently when it became clear to me that the insurance industry and its allies (often including drug and medical device makers, business groups and even the American Medical Association) were succeeding in shaping the current debate on health care reform. While the thought of speaking out had crossed my mind during the months leading up to the day I gave notice, I initially decided instead to hang out my shingle as a consultant to small businesses and nonprofit organizations.
I decided to take the shingle down, though, at least for a while, when I heard members of Congress reciting talking points like the ones I used to write to scare people away from real reform. I'll have more to say about that over the coming weeks and months, but, for now, remember this: whenever you hear a politician or pundit use the term "government-run health care" and warn that the creation of a public health insurance option that would compete with private insurers (or heaven forbid, a single-payer system like the one Canada has) will "lead us down the path to socialism," know that the original source of the sound bite most likely was some flack like I used to be.
Bottom line: I ultimately decided the stakes are too high for me to just sit on the sidelines and let the special interests win again. So I have joined forces with thousands of other Americans who are trying to persuade our lawmakers to listen to us for a change, not just to the insurance and drug company executives who are spending millions to shape reform to benefit them and the Wall Street hedge fund managers they are beholden to.
Take it from me, a former insider, who knows what really motivates those folks. You need to know where the hard-earned money you pay in health insurance premiums – if you lucky enough to have coverage at all – really goes.
I decided to speak out knowing that some people will not like what I have to say and will do all they can to discredit me. In anticipation of that, here are some facts:
I am not doing this because my former employer was pushing me out the door or because I had become a disgruntled employee. I had not been passed over for a promotion or anything like that. As I noted earlier, I had a financially rewarding career in the industry, and I'm very grateful for that. I had numerous promotions, raises, bonuses, stock options and stock grants over the years. When I left my last job, I was as close on the corporate ladder to the CEO as any PR person has ever climbed at the company. I reported to the general counsel, the company's top lawyer, whose boss is the chairman and CEO, a man I like and worked closely with over many years.
The decision to leave was entirely my own, and I left on good terms with everybody at the company. In fact, I agreed to postpone my last day at work by more than two months at the company's request. My coworkers gave me a terrific going-away party, and I received dozens of kind notes from people all across the country including friends at other companies and at America's Health Insurance Plans, the industry trade association.
I still consider all of them my friends. In fact, the thing I have missed most since I left is working as part of a team, even though I eventually came to the conclusion that I was playing for the wrong side. Being a consultant has its advantages, but I have missed the camaraderie. After a few months, I thought that maybe I should consider working for another company again. At one point, a former boss told me that another insurer had posted a PR job and encouraged me to contact a former CIGNA executive who worked there about it. Against my better judgment, I did, but I immediately decided not to pursue it. The last thing I wanted to do was to go from one big insurer to another one. What the hell was I thinking?
I'm writing this because, knowing how things work, I'm fully expecting insurers' PR firms to quietly feed friends of the industry (which include a roster of editorial writers and pundits, lawmakers and many others who fall under the broad category of "third-party advocates,") with anything they can think of to discredit me and what I say. This will go on behind the scenes because the insurers will want to preserve the image they are working so hard to cultivate – as a group of kind and caring folks who think only of you and your health and are working hard as real partners to Congress and the White House to find "a uniquely American solution" to what ails our system.
I expect this because I have worked closely with the industry's PR firms over many years whenever the insurers were being threatened with bad publicity, litigation or legislation that might hinder profits.
One of the reasons I chose to become affiliated with the Center for Media and Democracy [CMD] is because of the important work the organization does to expose often devious, dishonest and unethical PR practices that further the self interests of big corporations and special interest groups at the expense of the American people and the democratic principles this country was founded on.
After a long career in PR, I am looking forward to providing an insider's perspective as a senior fellow at CMD, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to speak out for the rights and dignity of ordinary people. The people of Wise County and every county deserve much better than to be left behind to suffer or die ahead of their time due to Wall Street's efforts to keep our government from ensuring that all Americans have real access to first-class health care.

Q: How to stop useEffect from making so many requests? Empty Dependencies don't work I have a component that updates a piece of state but I'm having issues with it
I have the state declared
const [data, setData] = useState([]);

Then in my useEffect I am
useEffect(() => {
  const fetchData = async () => {
    await axios
    .get(
      API_URL,
      {
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          'X-API-KEY': API_KEY
        },
        params:{
          "titleId": id
        }
      }
    )
    .then((response) => {
      setData(response.data.Item);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.error("API call error:", err.message);
    });
  }

  fetchData();

}, [data, id])

If I declare "data" in my dependencies, I get an endless loop of requests which is obviously no good. But if I leave 'data' out from the dependencies it shows nothing, though I am successfully retrieving it in my network's tab and even when I {JSON.styringify(data)} in a div tag aI get the json content too. So the info is in the DOM, but it's not updating the components
How can I do this so I can make an initial request to load the data and not thousands of them?
I've tried the following:

*

*a setTimeout on the callback function

*the isCancelled way with a return (() => { callbackFunction.cancel(); })

*And there is an Abort way of doing this too but I can't figure it out. Every example I've seen is for class components

Sorry for the vague code. I can't replicate this without lots of coding and an API. Thanks in advance

A: You want to set the state and then check if is different.  I use a custom hook for this which uses the useRef hook:
export function usePrevious(value) {
  const ref = useRef();
  useEffect(() => {
    ref.current = value;
  }, [value]);
  return ref.current;
}

const prevData = usePrevious(data);

I don't know what your data looks like, but build a conditional from it.  Inside of your useEffect you'll need something like:
if (data !== prevData) fetchData()

or
if (data.id !== prevData.id) fetchData()

You'll then add prevData to you dependencies:
 [data, prevData, id]

A: So useEffects works with dependency.
With dependency - on changing dependency value useEffect will trigger
useEffect(() => {
    // code
}, [dependency])

With empty brackets - will trigger on initial of component
useEffect(() => {
    // code
}, [])

Without dependency and Brackets - will trigger on every state change
useEffect(() => {
    // code
})

A: Do something like this, if that can help. I also used async/await so you can check that.
const App = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchData = async () => {
      try {
        const response = await axios.get(API_URL, {
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'X-API-KEY': API_KEY,
          },
          params: {
            titleId: id,
          },
        });
        setData(response.data.Item);
      } catch (err) {
        console.error('API call error:', err.message);
      }
    };

    fetchData();
  }, [id]);

  if (!data.length) return null;

  return
Yes, I have data
;
};

A: obviously you will get an infinit loop !
you are updating the data inside your useEffect which means each time the data changes, triggers useEffect again and so on !
what you should do is change your dependencies depending on your case for example :
const [data, setData] = useState([])
const [fetchAgain, setFetchAgain] = useState(false)
useEffect(()=> {
   fetchData();
}, [])

useEffect(() => {
    if(fetchAgain) {
        setFetchAgain(false)
        fetchData();
    }
}, [fetchAgain])

now each time you want to fetch data again you need to update the fetchAgain to true

Remembering Yogi Berra, an American icon
Posted: September 23, 2015 | Author: SportsLifer | Filed under: Baseball, MLB World Series | Tags: Babe Ruth, Bill Dickey, death of Yogi, my dad, RIP Yogi, Yankees, Yogi Berra |Leave a comment
Baseball today mourns the passing of Yogi Berra. Yogi was an American icon, a World War II veteran who was part of the D-Day invasion and a Hall of Fame catcher with the Yankees whose record of 10 World Championships will never be equaled. But above all that, Yogi was a great husband, a loving father, and a wonderful man, whose kindness, humility and sincerity touched all who knew him.
Yogi Berra played in the first baseball game I ever saw, in the summer of 1958 at Yankee Stadium. Yogi batted fifth and played right field and was 0-for-3 with a strikeout and a walk. And although the Yankees lost to the White Sox that day, I was hooked on baseball for life.
Yogi was a walking Bartlett's who said everything from "It ain't over till it's over" to "It gets late early out there" to "Nobody goes there any more, it's too crowded."
On a personal note, I played competitive softball until I turned 60. In the later years I became a catcher, and proudly wore #8 in honor of Yogi.
Yogi's passing hits home for me. My father was born in 1925, the same year as Yogi. My dad passed on his love of baseball to me. No doubt, he'll be watching the Yankee game tonight.
We used to argue about who was the best catcher in Yankee history, Bill Dickey or Yogi Berra. My father, who saw Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig play, would say Dickey. Sorry pops, it was Yogi.
RIP Lawrence Peter Berra.

Flight Instructor and Tour Pilot, Benjamin Tong.
Training Flight
Flight Instructor Ben Tong works with a student.
Reconnecting with a past student.
Ben meets up with a previous student, now a Pilot with the Oakland County Sheriffs Dept.
Michigan Helicopters Benjamin Tong
Benjamin Tong, Chief Instructor Pilot for Michigan Helicopters, based out of Oakland County International Airport, in Waterford Michigan. I have worked and flown with Benjamin on many occasions and I have found him to be not only a top-notch pilot, but also one of the kindest guys I have met. So, it was a natural fit and no-brainer that he would be our choice as our "pilot profile" for our inaugural issue of "The Collective Magazine"
Pre-Flight Education:
Ben received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan. He followed that up with obtaining a Masters of Science degree in. Like most pilots, he had a love and fascination for flying, specifically...Helicopters. That fire was further fueled while he worked as a Paramedic in the Ann Arbor Michigan area. Working in and around landing zones as part of his job, his fascination for rotor-wing aircraft led him to flight school.
Flight School:
He used his job as a Paramedic to finance his way through flight school. Upon completing flight school in 2003, Ben flew as a private pilot for 6 years. In 2009, he became a flight instructor, then in 2013, to change things up from flying corporate and tours, he became an EMS pilot for such agencies as; Detroit Medical Center, Henry Ford and Promedica Air and Mobile.
Michigan Helicopters:
In 2014, Ben and his wife Courtney, formed Michigan Helicopters - A flight school and tour company. Their office is out of Oakland County International Airport, located in Waterford Michigan. Michigan Helicopters is a part 141 flight school, as opposed to a part 61. Under Part 141, the school is FAA regulated to provide a more structured training environment, which allows for faster certification. Part 141 is also better for full-time students looking to make aviation a professional career. Furthermore, they can accept certain VA benefits.
Ben and Michigan Helicopters has a reputation as a premier flight school. When asked what makes a good flight school? Ben replied; "Having a dedicated flight instructor. Somebody that has the patience for their students and can balance that fine line between allowing students to correct their mistakes...And learn from them."
Many of Ben's students have gone on to successful careers in; law enforcement, EMS and other commercial and corporate fields. That is a testament to the dedication that Ben speaks of. Ben offers this advice to aspiring pilots. "Don't give up. Fly as much as you can and don't allow anyone to discourage you".
Aircraft of Choice:
The aircraft of choice for Ben and Michigan Helicopters is the Robinson R44 Raven. This overhauled 2017 model is an IFR (instrument flight rules) trainer, which means it has the capability to train on instruments. They have affectionately named their R44, "BULLET." Ben explains, "The R44 is very versatile, a workhorse. It seats 4,decent cruise speed, has an average payload and is the only one like it in the area."
Besides offering flight training, he also provides scenic tours over many of the picturesque areas of SW Michigan, including; Downtown Detroit, the Detroit River, the St. Clair River, lower Lake Huron and many other beautiful spots that make Michigan so special. You will also find him flying tours at local airshows and events.
