Queer Tarotscopes for Virgo Season 2021: Where Are You Craving Awareness and Change?
This season's tarotscopes feature The Moonchild Tarot and the Celestial Bodies Oracle Deck.
After Leo's season of sunshine, courage, and loving boldly, Virgo is here to help us refine and perfect, clarify and crystalize. The sign of mutable earth, Virgo's flexible and persistent nature helps us finish up any lingering projects, efforts, or concerns, adjusting as necessary to meet those big deadlines and prepare for whatever is going to come next. Often associated with a fastidious, perfection-seeking nature, Virgo is observant and thoughtful, careful and detail-oriented, the energy that comes in and catches all of the little mistakes that brash, confident Leo might've missed in their broad, brilliant strokes of color. Just like the Empress shines with abundance and the Emperor follows to adjust and perfect, Leo carries the big emotions and desires of Cancer forward — and Virgo follows behind, making sure that everything is in order. With Virgo, we allow our natural sensitivity to shine, showing us the pieces that fit perfectly and the rough edges that need further refining.
Virgo's birth card is the Hermit, an archetype of solitude and reflection. It's easy to generalize that this figure is one of rest and recovery — and indeed, for those of us that fall on the more introverted side of the spectrum, the Hermit can feel like a welcome respite from the daily grind — but make no mistake, this is a figure that demands that we work. Taking time to interrogate our desires, fears, hopes, dreams, ambitions, anxieties, and choices is no easy feat, and this time of self-discovery and personal revelations can feel like we're going over our souls with a fine-toothed comb, not missing a single shadow or secret. In giving ourselves time to shift away from our usual routines and responsibilities, we're able to consider what is actually working for us, what is bringing us more in line with our goals and vision for the future — and to also identify where we are getting tripped up, frustrated, or craving change. When we think about the structures that we put in place with the Emperor, the traditions that we explored with the Hierophant, the freedom that we found with the Lovers, what do we still want to hang on to, and what are we ready to release? Which established foundations are providing us with stability and safety, and where are we starting to feel stifled? Did we break through any boundaries with the Chariot that we miss or want to reconstruct? Did we take any chances with Strength that we're ready to double-down on?
The Hermit is assigned the number nine, and when we look at the nines in the tarot we find energy of privacy and self-reliance — for better and for worse. The nine of wands shows someone pushing hard through final challenges and obstacles, balancing a desire to reach those goals with a need to practice restraint and self-care. The nine of swords reveals someone grappling with nightmares and anxieties, having retreated so far into themselves that they've lost all perspective on what is truth, and what is fear. The nine of cups celebrates someone secure in the knowledge that they are loved and supported, even as they pursue creative dreams that allow them to shine on their own. The nine of pentacles indicates someone who has created a safe and happy home, who feels independent, stable, and proud of the work that they have done to get where they are. Solitude is valuable, reflection is essential — but if we go too far within ourselves, if we forget to balance our perceptions with objective truths, we can get lost.
So many of our cards for this season are action-oriented, urging us to not be afraid to trust our instincts and pay attention to the desires within us. In this season of Virgo, remember the lessons of the Hermit, and give yourself space for reflection, awareness, and grounded perspective, even as you pursue the things that you want. Experienced tarot readers or astrologers can plug the cards I've drawn for their sun, moon, and rising signs into the spread below to create a custom reading for this season. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of information and communication, so if you know your Mercury placement you can also include that card in your reading for a more complete picture of your next few weeks.
I recently edited the Spaces & Places folio here at Autostraddle, organized a bisexuality roundtable, worked with Drew to give you your L Word astrological signs, and also shared an in-depth look at the three lines of the major arcana. I also recently appeared on the Hello Universe podcast to chat about learning and using tarot. I'm still open for custom tarot readings, so head to my website to book your personal reading with me. I've also published a single-card study on the Fool, part of an ongoing series, and am working on my first class exploring tarot and numerology. Check out my daily writing and card draws on Instagram, and you can get my latest tarot writings and updates delivered straight to your inbox by signing up for my newsletter. Lastly, head to my website for larger spreads, writings, and to purchase my four original e-books for learning tarot. As always with these tarot readings, take what you need and leave what you don't. Happy Virgo season!
An archetype of personal power, deep satisfaction, and collective magic, the Sun offers brilliant beams of light and a rich, potent sense of accomplishment. As the sign of cardinal fire, you are so good at beginnings, at sharing your vision and being the spark that lights up the world — but in this time of Virgo, you now get to experience the power of bringing something to a successful, joy-filled conclusion, tying up loose ends and preparing to release something finished into the world. If last season felt like a last big push of creative or inspirational energy, if you've been wrapping up a major project or long-term ambition, this is a time for celebration, abundance, and pride in the self. What have you accomplished? How did it happen? Where are you sensing shifts in your present, and how does that give you hope for your future? And if you're still in the midst of completion, give yourself permission to take joy in these last steps, to believe that everything is going to work out exactly as it should. Where are you finding victory? How can you take pleasure in this exactly moment, instead of getting distracted by thinking ahead to the next big project?
Three of pentacles
You're someone that's known for your strong work ethic, dedication to seeing projects through, and ability to take responsibility for a number of projects. But this season, you may find joy in collaboration, in delegation, in bringing people that you trust and respect into the process and allowing them to share some of your burdens. There can be deep, unexpected magic in giving others access, in sharing your process and considering new ideas. And while you may feel a bit uncomfortable not being in complete control of this aspect of creation, resist the urge to do everything yourself, and instead see what happens when you open yourself to new perspectives, new ideas, new resources. What are people offering to you, that you've been reluctant to receive? How could sharing some of the load allow you to see new possibilities?In letting others help, how might you find the space to bring in new resources or ideas that transform what you're working on into something even more brilliant?
Four of cups
After the transformation and upheaval of last season, Virgo's mutable earth energy may find you feeling a little tender, a little hesitant. It's natural to retreat inwards after a major shift, to want to give the self space for reflection, grounding, and healing in the wake of all that you've endured. But you shine the most brightly when you're working in tandem with others, when you take what people offer you and volley it back with new perspectives and information. In finding ways to protect your heart and mind, don't isolate yourself so deeply that you lose touch with that essential part of who you are. If you find yourself disappointed with the ways that other people are interacting with you, if you feel discouraged or irritable in your relationships, if it never seems like anyone is doing quite enough to make you feel loved or appreciated, take a step back and consider how open you are to receiving these things. Are you actually making yourself available to the people that care about you, or are you creating unnecessary obstacles to connection? How can you let yourself be loved and supported in a way that truly serves you?
Two of pentacles
It may feel that this season is a satisfying juggling act, Cancer, as you deftly balance the things that you want to introduce into your world with the ongoing tasks and responsibilities that you've carried for a long time. And while you are a wildly capable, deeply structured person, while your natural sense of boundaries and protection is a beautiful partner to your desire to care for yourself and those you love, it's likely that the pace you're currently operating at is not sustainable for the long term. You may be managing everything beautifully right now, but consider: is everything that's on your plate something that you need to hang on to? Or are there projects, details, duties that you could delegate, pause, or delay? Taking pride in being good at things can be a valuable and ego-boosting asset, but it's also okay to ask for help sometimes, to prioritize a few things instead of trying to do everything all the time. How can you put your energy and resources towards the things that matter most to you? What could you release?
Have you been dreaming about something lately, been caught up in a fantasy of something brilliant, enticing, magical? Has a new idea, pursuit, ambition captured your attention, in a way that's distracting you from the life you have now? You are standing on a precipice, poised to begin a powerful and transformative new adventure — but it's up to you to decide if you're ready to take that leap, to trust your intuition and let it carry you forward towards something unknown. The Fool is the archetype that begins everything, that pushes us forward, that urges us to keep dreaming and reaching and climbing. Where are you ready to take a chance? You're already someone fiery and independent, bold and courageous, unafraid to go after something that you desire — but this may be something that doesn't have a clear roadmap, something that you aren't quite sure how to discover. Try not to get caught up in the details of all that you don't know, and instead consider how you can support yourself on this new journey. How are you ready to change your life?
Eight of cups
Happy birthday, Virgo! As we move into your season of thoughtful effort and rich sensitivity, you may find your heart tugging you in a new direction. You're someone that puts a lot of effort into making things work, coming up with creative solutions for complex problems and often willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is taken care of — but sometimes, that can mean that you're putting in more effort than other people, or doing the bulk of the work without the support, encouragement, and care that you deserve. This season, be honest with yourself about the relationships you're investing in, the communities you participate in, the people and visions and dreams that you give your resources to. Is there balance in these equations? Or are you the only one really showing up? This is not a charge to leave behind something that deeply matters — but it is a call to carefully consider where you might need to walk away, create new boundaries, or give yourself permission to pull back. How can you show yourself the same loving care that you offer to others? What would it take for you to put yourself first?
Nine of cups
A card of sweetness and pleasure, for you Virgo season will be a time of peace and harmony, joyful communion, and heart-forward creation. You are surrounded by love, by support, by everything that you need to thrive — so take time this season for gratitude and reciprocity. How is your heart overflowing? Where has your intuition led you? What are you learning about yourself from the emotions and intimacy that you've experienced? How are you continuing to make space for everything that you love, for everyone that you care about? The nine of cups came forward for you last season as well, indicating that you are in a rich period of satisfaction, connection, and contentment. Yet this card also hints at wishes both fulfilled and unfulfilled, the things that we have found and the things that we are still reaching for. You may feel like you've developed the skills to balance emotion with perception, but where have you been afraid to be vulnerable, to reveal a sense of longing that you may not completely understand? How can you make space for the things that you still crave?
Ace of swords
You're known for your sensitive bullshit meter and ability to cut right to the heart of things, and this season, new insights and essential truths may reveal themselves. The key to this card is in figuring out how to wield this blade with strength and finesse, rather than letting ourselves be overwhelmed by its weight, power, or sharpness. What does it mean to recognize something for the first time, to let this shift in perspective alter the things that we've believed until now? How does clarity help us move in directions that feel more representative of what we're really craving? Where do we need to be honest and authentic with ourselves, and how will that impact our existing goals, dreams, and paths forward? After the powerful shifts of last season, it may feel like your perspectives are changing in so many ways. Give yourself ample space to reflect and consider, to make choices with wisdom rather than purely on impulse. What are you ready to pursue with intention and purpose? And are you truly ready for all of the discoveries that you may make along the way?
King of wands
It may feel like your ability to inspire, stimulate, and create is on overdrive this season, allowing you the capacity to juggle multiple projects with ease and set things in motion for other people. The natural fire that burns through your veins, that sets everything that you touch aflame, may feel extra bright, extra potent, extra infectious. How are you using all of that energy to create something lasting, something that inspires and motivates? What are you doing with your gifts? You may already consider yourself a leader, but Virgo's mutable energy will help you give shape and focus to all of those ideas, pairing your innate enthusiasm with a necessary sensitivity that will help you see things through to the end. When do you feel your most powerful, your most mighty, your most passionate? What are you ready to pour your energy into? How can you balance that inherent visionary quality with focused purpose and intent?
Two of wands
For you, Virgo season may be defined by important choices: what to pursue, what to discard, what gives you energy and what drains you. But as you consider how to turn that small, bright spark of a new idea into a brilliant, steady flame, give yourself the time to fully consider your options, instead of rushing to build. Tangible progress may be satisfying, but there's something to be said for checking in with the self, for honoring the desires that are burning deep within you. You may not always think of yourself as someone playful, someone that follows inspiration without a clear purpose and destination in mind — yet there can be such beauty, such magic, such richness in creation without an objective. What if you let yourself dream about what's possible, instead of just focusing on what's probable? How can you give yourself room to breathe, to imagine, to create without limits? Where might you go, what might you discover, if you put away the map for awhile and let yourself explore freely?
King of swords
After a season that may have felt like hitting rock bottom, Virgo brings a fresh opportunity to scoop up those blades and use them for expansion, investigation, and new insights. You are not afraid to examine things closely, to study and interrogate, and Virgo is a perfect time for you to zoom in on some of the details that your often expansive perspective may sometimes cause you to gloss over. Which aspects of your work could use a more careful, critical eye? How are you utilizing that sharp gaze, and what are you doing to balance your intellect and observations with wisdom? How do your opinions, your observations, your understanding of truth impact those around you? People may be looking to you particularly closely this season, eager to hear your thoughts and ideas, so don't take that responsibility lightly. What are you ready to share? How are you redesigning the world in your mind? Which structures are you ready to break apart and put together in new ways?
King of pentacles
Sweet Pisces, you're so often left to your own devices in the dreamy worlds of emotion, intuition, and fantasy, unafraid to dive into the richest depths and murkiest magics. But this season, take pleasure in the mutable flexibility of Virgo even as you hold fast to the grounded nature of earth. It's okay to put your feet on the ground sometimes, to build instead of simply exploring. Where are you putting down roots? What are you cultivating? How have the seeds that you've planted established a firm foundation for your artistic imaginings? Legacy can be tied to anything, but it's always connected by intention and attention, that act of believing that our actions and choices will have an impact that outlives us. How do you balance your dreams with tangible realities? What sustains you, comforts you, creates systems of security and safety for you? How can you care for your physical body, your home and career, in a way that allows you to be your fullest, most authentic self?

More Information about Kenya
With its 45,010,056 people, Kenya is the 30th largest country in the world by population. It is the 49th largest country in the world by area with 580,367 square kilometers.
Founding president and liberation struggle icon Jomo KENYATTA led Kenya from independence in 1963 until his death in 1978, when President Daniel MOI took power in a constitutional succession. The country was a de facto one-party state from 1969 until 1982 when the ruling Kenya African National Union (KANU) made itself the sole legal party in Kenya. MOI acceded to internal and external pressure for political liberalization in late 1991. The ethnically fractured opposition failed to dislodge KANU from power in elections in 1992 and 1997, which were marred by violence and fraud, but were viewed as having generally reflected the will of the Kenyan people. President MOI stepped down in December 2002 following fair and peaceful elections. Mwai KIBAKI, running as the candidate of the multiethnic, united opposition group, the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC), defeated KANU candidate Uhuru KENYATTA and assumed the presidency following a campaign centered on an anticorruption platform. KIBAKI's NARC coalition splintered in 2005 over a constitutional review process. Government defectors joined with KANU to form a new opposition coalition, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), which defeated the government's draft constitution in a popular referendum in November 2005. KIBAKI's reelection in December 2007 brought charges of vote rigging from ODM candidate Raila ODINGA and unleashed two months of violence in which as many as 1,500 people died. African Union-sponsored mediation led by former UN Secretary General Kofi ANNAN in late February 2008 resulted in a power-sharing accord bringing ODINGA into the government in the restored position of prime minister. The power sharing accord included a broad reform agenda, the centerpiece of which was constitutional reform. In August 2010, Kenyans overwhelmingly adopted a new constitution in a national referendum. The new constitution introduced additional checks and balances to executive power and significant devolution of power and resources to 47 newly created counties. It also eliminated the position of prime minister following the first presidential election under the new constitution, which occurred on 4 March 2013. Uhuru KENYATTA, the son of founding president Jomo KENYATTA, won the March elections in the first round by a close margin and was sworn into office on 9 April 2013.

Clarification has been given on how employers should handle an employee dismissal following an extended period of absence due to ill-health.
In the case of BS v Dundee City Council, BS had been off sick for 272 days with stress and depression. During his absence, he was signed off sick by his GP and the occupational health assessment services for eight weeks at a time.
In September 2009, after meeting with BS to discuss his continued absence, during which he indicated that he did not feel he was getting any better, the council decided BS was unlikely to return to work for the foreseeable future and dismissed him on the grounds of capability.
BS appealed unsuccessfully and brought an unfair dismissal claim against his former employer. The Employment Tribunal ruled in favour of BS, basing its findings on the council not conducting a thorough investigation into his health, in particular, stating that the council should have obtained a further medical report about the prospect of BS returing to work before taking the decision to dismiss.
The tribunal also stated that the council had a duty to conduct a more thorough investigation due to BS' 35 years continuous service.
On appeal, the case came before the Inner House of the Court of Session (the Scottish equivalent to the Court of Appeal), which stated "if an employee states they are not feeling any better and do not know when they can return to work then this will be a significant factor operating against them. Ascertain the medical position, but there is no need to pursue a detailed medical examination. The employer merely needs to obtain proper medical advice and ask the right questions".
The Inner Court held that the Employment Tribunal had not approached the issue with the correct tests in mind. It stated that, in such cases, the critical question for employers is whether it can be expected to wait any longer befor taking the decision to dismiss an employee.
This will be a balancing exercise that involves consideration of: the availability of temporary cover; whether the employee has exhausted sick pay; the administrative and occupational health costs that might be incurred, and the size and resources of the employer.
The Inner Court also held that length of service was not relevant to the degree of investigation required. It is only relevant "to the extent that the manner in which an employee worked during that period of service yields inferences that indicate an employee is likely to return to work as soon as he can".

Major League Soccer's 2009 expansion side Seattle Sounders will participate in a 10-round 2008 MLS Expansion Draft scheduled for the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov. 26. Each MLS team is allowed to protect from selection in the draft 11 players off their roster. The Chicago Fire chose to protect a mixture of veteran and up-and-coming talent, most notably protecting Chicago native Brian McBride, Designated Player Cuauhtémoc Blanco, the team's leading scorer for 2008, Chris Rolfe, and Panasonic MLS Goalkeeper of the Jon Busch. Forward Patrick Nyarko is protected automatically as a Generation adidas player while defender Bakary Soumare will be graduating from the Generation adidas program and therefore will not automatically be protected.
Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber presented Chicago Fire defender Diego Gutierrez with the 2008 Commissioner's Award, given at the MLS Gala Awards Ceremony held in Los Angeles on the eve of the 13th MLS Cup championship game. The MLS Commissioner's Award is presented annually to the group or individual that has made a difference and contributed significantly to the league and the sport in America.
Three Chicago Fire players were named to the MLS Bext XI this past weekend including Volkswagen MLS Most Valuable Player Finalist Cuauhtémoc Blanco, Panasonic MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Jon Busch, and MLS Defender of the Year Finalist Bakary Soumare. The winners were unveiled Saturday during the MLS Awards Gala in Los Angeles on the eve of MLS Cup 2008.
With a record of 13-10-7 (46 pts.) during the 2008 MLS regular season, the Chicago Fire has qualified to compete in SuperLiga 2009. The top four teams, based on regular season record, who are not competing in CONCACAF Champions League in 2009, qualified for SuperLiga 2009. Given these criteria, joining the Fire from MLS will be the New England Revolution, Kansas City Wizards, and Chivas USA. Dates, venues, and Mexican teams participating will be announced at a later date.
Major League Soccer has announced that each team will be permitted to carry 18, 19 or 20 senior roster players (at its option) within the overall salary budget. In addition, teams will be permitted to carry up to four developmental players (including Generation adidas players) outside of the team salary budget. Any team with more than four Generation adidas players carried forward from 2008 will be grandfathered with respect to the size of their developmental roster. Previously, teams carried a total of 28 players (18 senior, 10 developmental) on their rosters.
Chicago Fire account executive Bill Sixsmith earned MLS Best XI honors in two categories as the league recognized individuals and teams for outstanding contributions off the playing field. Sixsmith finished seventh in Total Ticket Revenue and sixth in Group Ticket Sales throughout the league. Sixsmith was honored with the other team and executive award winners during the MLS Awards Gala in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Discuss the hazards involved with using power saws and how these hazards can be avoided.
Hold this session in the shop. Demonstrate safe practices to workers.
Supervise workers carefully as they practice safe practices.
Performing greenhouse maintenance or repairs.
What Makes a Saw Safe?
A three-conductor plug, unless it is double insulated.
Properly functioning rubber-coated extension cords without cuts, tears, or breaks in the outer coating.
Properly functioning guards that enclose the portion of the blade above and below the material being cut.
Portable power saw guards should be able to move freely and should almost totally enclose the blade except when a cut is being made. Then the guard should rotate to allow the blade to be exposed while making the cut. However, the portion of the blade extending below the material being cut will not be covered by a guard. The depth of the cut should be adjusted to limit the amount of blade extending through the material being cut to 1/2 inch or less.
Use appropriate protection when cutting wood treated with chemicals like arsenic—protective gloves, eye protection, or disposable dust mask.
Use the correct blade for the material being cut.
Adjust the blade depth to limit the amount of blade exposed below the material being cut to 1/2 inch or less.
Make sure power saws are grounded with a three-prong conductor plug.

Where Are All The Women In Governance And Public Finance?
Accountability Initiative
Posted by Sanaya Sinha
For decades, women's heart attacks have been rampantly undiagnosed because some physicians are unaware that symptoms can manifest differently in the sexes. Similarly, Invisible Women by Caroline Perez highlights the extent to which women have been overlooked – be it in policy-making, developing government programmes, or designing consumer products. Through a number of well-researched examples, Perez puts forth two key arguments.
First, society uses the male template as the representative default for humans, even though women constitute half the population. For instance, medical research is typically conducted on men, and extrapolated to the general population.
Second, there are glaring data gaps when men are assumed to be the default. This can be deadly: evidence indicates that women are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, and 17% more likely to die in car crashes than men, simply because seat belts and airbags are built for and tested with the average male-sized dummy figure.
Perez argues that there are several factors behind the assumption that men represent the default human, including: patriarchal culture; power dynamics shaping historical narratives; and the dominance of men in spheres of decision-making, be it in governments or corporate boardrooms. This blog extends Perez's conceptualisation to two areas that the Accountability Initiative works on – governance and public finance.
Perez argues that there are several factors behind the assumption that men represent the default human, including: patriarchal culture; power dynamics shaping historical narratives; and the dominance of men in spheres of decision-making, be it in governments or corporate boardrooms.
Data and Governance
Quality data is fundamental to governance, with the first Indian census being conducted in 1881, now supplemented by a wide range of data collection programmes. Over the years, there have been calls to address gender data gaps. For instance, if infant mortality rates are significantly different by gender in a particular state, we can direct efforts towards addressing underlying challenges – be it nutrition, vaccination, or healthcare for girls. This approach would be different than simply looking at the average infant mortality rate across genders. Instead, we could unpack the reasons behind the higher mortality rate for one gender. This can then allow policymakers to tailor appropriate solutions to address the overall problem.
IWWAGE, a research organisation focussing on women's economic empowerment, and LEAD at KREA University have mapped gender gaps in Indian government statistics. The report details gaps across labour statistics, census data, and scheme-wise data, among others. It has found that a major blind spot is in using the "household" as the default unit of data collection, which masks gender-specific data in ownership of assets, access to basic amenities, access to mobile phones, and more. Most significantly, women tend to be undercounted in the labour force, with care work and unpaid work not included in labour statistics.
A step towards addressing this data gap within households came with the first national time use survey (2019), which measured time spent on paid and unpaid work for both men and women. The survey revealed that 57.3% of men are engaged in paid employment, compared to just 18.4% of women. However, a whopping 81.2% of women engage in unpaid domestic services for household members (with an average of 299 minutes per day), compared to just 26.1% of men (with an average of 97 minutes per day).
The lack of data disaggregated by gender has serious implications for the design and delivery of government schemes. For instance, a blind spot has been the perception of agriculture as a male-dominated sector. On the contrary, over 70% of Indian rural women are engaged in agricultural work, and yet only 13.9% of women own land. The absence of land rights for female farmers relegates women to low-paying agricultural roles on land owned by others, and denies entitlements from agricultural schemes such as rural credit, assets, technology, irrigation, and the like.

Here too, if there was greater recognition of a gender-specific gap in the ownership of farmland, this could lead to a redesign of criteria to access agricultural schemes, as well as a movement towards strengthening land rights for women.

Gender in Public Finance
Since the early 2000s, India has implemented gender responsive budgeting, which acknowledges gender patterns in society and allocates funds to make programmes gender-equitable. A Gender Budget is prepared annually, with two sections for ministries and departments to highlight: (a) programmes with 100% provision for women; and (b) programmes with 30% and above provision for women.
The 2020-21 Gender Budget stands at 5% of Total Budgetary Allocations for 2020-21. An analysis indicates that, of the total number of 70 ministries and departments in the budget, only 34 reported gender budget allocations in 2020-21. A look at ministries and departments which did not allocate gender-specific funds reveal several areas that could benefit from accounting for the needs of women, such as the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation.
A shift away from conceptualising men as the default citizen could enable seemingly 'gender-neutral' departments, such as the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, to think of the needs of all parties when providing budget estimates. For instance, hypothetically, a sanitation budget that allocates equal land area or funding for men and women's public toilets, does not take into account the higher floor space required for cubicles compared to urinals.
To provide equal access to public toilets, the sanitation budget could consider these differences and allocate a higher proportion of funding for women's toilets to ensure the same number of toilets per gender. Beyond this, there needs to be a specific allocation for toilet facilities for transgender persons, especially in the context of harassment faced while using public toilets.
Further, the 2020-21 Budget Speech mentioned women only under the theme of 'caring society', with no mention under the remaining two themes of 'aspirational India' and 'economic development'. This alone is a stark indication that women are largely seen as mothers or caretakers. Since women exist as citizens and economic agents too, and make up half of our population, we need to move away from this mindset.
If there is one takeaway, it is this. Representation matters: all of us benefit when diverse perspectives are accounted for at the policy-making level, whether it is directly through female politicians and bureaucrats, or through participatory consultations with communities.

An example from Invisible Women is particularly telling: homes rebuilt after the Gujarat earthquake in 2001 lacked kitchens, because only men were consulted in the planning process – and the need for kitchens apparently did not occur to them.

Canyon Mine or Pinyon Plain Mine, Still a Threat to Grand Canyon
Mike Popejoy
by Amber Reimondo, Energy Director
To paraphrase Shakespeare: a uranium mine near the Grand Canyon by any other name is still a problem. And, whatever you call it, it still poses an unacceptable risk to the Grand Canyon and its precious waters, and to the Havasupai Tribe.
But, in an apparent attempt to disassociate Canyon Mine — a uranium mine that sits fewer than 10 miles from the rim of the Grand Canyon — from, well...the Grand Canyon, the mine's owner, Energy Fuels Resources, recently announced to investors that it is changing the mine's name from Canyon Mine to "Pinyon Plain Mine."
But changing the name doesn't change the reality. Call it what you will, it remains a uranium mine sitting atop precious groundwater that feeds seeps and springs inside Grand Canyon National Park. This water is the lifeblood of the Havasupai Tribe and feeds their iconic waterfalls; the tribe considers the mine an existential threat to its people and its way of life.
Canyon Mine...is a very dangerous site to the Havasupai people. We view it as death, we view it as contamination to our water, and that it will kill all animal life in the area.
–Carletta Tilousi, Havasupai Tribal Council
Canyon Mine poses an unacceptable risk to the Grand Canyon
Changing the mine's name won't make concerns about risks to groundwater go away. Above all, it won't change the mine's flooding problem. To date, over 30 million gallons of groundwater contaminated with high levels of uranium and arsenic have been pumped out of the mine shaft. This water has been dumped in an uncovered pond which attracts wildlife; animals regularly burrow under the fence to reach it, and birds have been photographed drinking from and bathing in the pond. The contaminated water has also been illegally trucked over state lines, and even misted into the air on national forest land to speed up evaporation.
Public pressure to close and clean up the mine
Changing Canyon Mine's name appears to be an attempt to reduce the association between the mine and the Grand Canyon. It might also be an effort by the company to sidestep mounting public pressure to close and clean up the mine, to stop pretending there's no possibility of contaminating important groundwater aquifers and, at the very least, do a much better job of monitoring groundwater.
Putting aside the fact that rebaptizing Canyon Mine doesn't reduce the threat it poses to the Grand Canyon, Pinyon Plain Mine isn't such a bad name. After all, the mine sits in an otherwise peaceful meadow ringed by pinyon and ponderosa pines, in the Kaibab National Forest. This meadow, on public lands that are also the ancestral homelands of the Havasupai Tribe, lies within the Red Butte Traditional Cultural Property, near Red Butte, a site of vital cultural and spiritual significance to the tribe.
Fly over Canyon Mine and the Grand Canyon
For a recent flyover of the Grand Canyon and its namesake mine by the nonprofit EcoFlight, Carletta Tilousi, a member of the Havasupai Tribal Council, explained the significance of Red Butte and the tribe's deep-rooted concerns about Canyon Mine, which the tribe has strongly opposed since it was built in the 1980s.
Mining uranium near the Grand Canyon isn't worth it
A name change for Canyon Mine may be a sound public-relations move from the uranium company's perspective, but it doesn't change the mine's location, and it's that location that is the problem. Groundwater flow in the Grand Canyon region is poorly understood by scientists, and the necessary research simply has not been done to determine whether contamination at Canyon Mine could spread to seeps and springs in the Grand Canyon, or to Havasu Creek, which flows through Supai Village on the Havasupai reservation and is the tribe's sole source of drinking water.
These unknowns are of great concern to the Havasupai Tribe. "Water is very important to us because one it identifies us as Havasupai People," Tilousi explained. "'Havasu 'Baaja' means 'people of the blue-green water,' so it is our name. It runs through our veins, and it runs through our village. And we want to keep our water clean. We want to keep our communities and our animals and our people safe from any such contaminants that may come down the river."
Canyon Mine's original name, the name it has carried for over 30 years, embodies it best, signaling the risk it poses to the natural wonder for which it was named. But call it Canyon Mine or call it Pinyon Plain Mine, this name change isn't fooling anyone. Canyon Mine remains an unnecessary and unacceptable risk to the Grand Canyon, its waters, and the people who have called this region home since time immemorial. No matter what you call this mine, mining uranium here just isn't worth the risk.

Aston Martin Leads both GTE Classes at Eight-Hour Mark
Tags: GTE, le-mans, Racing
by Pete Norwood
Aston Martin Racing is leading both GTE classes in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at the eight-hour mark - the #97 Vantage is out in front the GTE Pro class with the #98 GTE Am leading its class and the #95 Vantage following in second place.
Le Mans, 14 June 2014 - Aston Martin Racing is leading both GTE classes in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at the eight-hour mark - the #97 Vantage is out in front the GTE Pro class with the #98 GTE Am leading its class and the #95 Vantage following in second place.
At the four-hour mark, Bruno Senna (BR) took over the Vantage GTE and started a three-hour stint that saw the Brazilian driver pass both works Porsches to hand over to Darren Turner (GB) in second place.
The subsequent battle at the front of the pack saw the Aston Martin exchanging places with the Corvette and Ferrari several times before Turner took the lead and began pulling away. At the eight-hour mark, the #97 leads the GTE Pro race by 14 seconds.
Senna commented: "The car was working well so we could push hard. Darren has done a fantastic job to get into the lead and pull away so much. There's a long way to go and it is tough out there but we'll keep pushing and hope for a great result in 16 hours time."
In the GTE Am class, the #98 Vantage GTE pulled away from the rest of the class to take a one-minute 20-second lead. Christoffer Nygaard (DN) showed his experience and skill to triple stint the Michelin tyres before handing over to team-mate Paul Dalla Lana, who continued to build the lead.
Also impressing with his ability to triple stint the tyres was David Heinemeier Hansson in the #95 Young Driver AMR Vantage GTE. The Dane handed over the car to team-mate Nicki Thiim (DN) in second place who began to close the gap on the leader.
"The changing weather in the first few hours of the race meant we were not quite where we wanted to be, going into the second quarter," Team Principal John Gaw commented. "However, the drivers have all done a tremendous job to take the lead and pull away. In the Am class, the drivers triple stinted their tyres which gave the cars a fantastic advantage.
"We are now where we wanted to be at this stage in the race, but there is a long way to go and we must stay focused as we race in the darkness."

The ("Uarte Bridge" "spO2 Assistant" software, I think) for my CMS50I oximeter seems to indicate one can feed pulse sensor transmissions directly into a computer, using that software, without using the wrist-worn data processor-recorder with its "dashboard" ( its opening screen which displays time, a beat-by-beat amplitude bar, a pulse waveform presentation and a PMI indicator).
Unable to scare up anything else I bought what I thought was a Mini B female to Type A male adapter to convert/adapt the finger-pulse sensor's male Mini B to a Type A male or female connector. But there is a very slight difference between the (narrower maximum) width of the female Mini B female opening and the male connector (seemingly a Mini B) on the sensor.
The directions for the CMS50I stress that one should not use other cables and the almost invisible mismatch may be a safety feature (or I got an inferior adapter).
Has anyone solved this problem or conclusively established that one cannot hook the sensor to the computer directly to display (on a larger scale) the pulse waveform in real time--as the software seems to indicate would be possible? Ideally one could record heart data (on the wrist-worn device, if not on the computer, too) while looking at the wave form on the computer screen when awake.
[TMI, maybe:There will likely be those who question why I want to do this. Fine. I can simply say it has been good to be able to show a thoughtful MD info that is irregular as well as to personally discover and modify patterns that are common to habits of diet, caffeine use, irregular night owl sleeping patterns, exercise intensity, medications, yada, yada. Thanks to Sleepy Head and so much intelligent (pattern sensitive) guidance from this Forum's moderators--and no thanks to a sleep MD--my RDI starting point as described in my Profile has improved to the point of having very frequent--even simultaneous--zeroes for AHI and max LL; these good results have come while flow limitations are horrific, even with little or infrequent Snore. I do not understand why there is such high flow resistance in light of my being able to continually exercise at a 5.7 MET level, having a BMI of 22.4 with a 15 inch neck.
The finger sensor can ONLY be connected to the "watch". The watch has only one USB port.This allows you to connect the watch to the finger sensor or the computer, but not both. The software suggests there may be other devices with a pass through capability. The blue tooth/ wireless versions CMS 50iw for example may allow such functionality.

Thank you. I was advised of these facts elsewhere yesterday and that wave forms can also be viewed in realtime using certain--but not all--other predecessors of the Contec 50I.
I don't know yet whether one could record data from them on the computer and view the two pulse and SpO2 waveorms after sleep and (also?) be able to display a sampling of the oximeter data as can be done in Sleepyhead with the 50I, all sleep and heart data graphed on the same timeline.
Differences among and limitations of the Contec models' sampling rates are relevant and present unknowns for me, too. If lucky, it may be as simple as buying an additional Contec.
You can import the data from the 50i directly into SleepyHead.
Once imported it is displayed along with all the other graphs and can be moved up or down for your viewing pleasure.
You can also use the software you received with the 50i for their take on displaying the info.

Sorry! I failed to mention that I have been importing the 50i data into SH without trouble from my first loading of SpO2 Assistant in December 2015.
I had hoped to disperse the highly compacted view of that data along the timeline scale that shows when opening SpO2 (roughly, on my monitor, about an inch of width for 10 seconds of elapsed time is what appears upon opening the Assistant. It seems that the 50i cannot exercise that feature of the Assistant, but (I'm advised recently) that certain earlier Contec models have two ports that may enable real time recording on a laptop. I'm guessing that the 2-port version must permit passing the data thru the watch to the laptop without having any recording capability in the watch or, maybe, with the capability to record only one sleep session (like the 50F? SH mentions on its oximeter related screens).
A completely new and separate issue has arisen for me. SH suddenly quit opening for me about 6/1/17, possibly caused by and after a W10 automatic update. No active process shows up in the Task Manager when I click it; I just get the spinning disk which soon stops. Oh well, it was good to have it run trouble free from fall of 2015 and I may have to reinstall. I was advised to install 32 and 64 bit versions of Visual C++, but that has not helped (thru those two 2013 versions). I think Developer Mark said he was not going to do some labor intensive updating of SH that recent changes from Microsoft might entail. Possibly my 64 bit computer has bumped into the change.
I'd appreciate any suggestions hoping I could use them to resume using SH with my several patient profiles/files (archives) continuing to work as before June 1.
We just rolled out the SleepO2 an Android App which works with Contec CMS50K wearable Oximeter.
You can search in Google Play for the App. The App also integrates with Fitbit.
The CMS50FF unit has both a barrel plug (finger stall), and a micro USB (download/Assistant review and PC monitor/Assistant Real Time ).
I have used mine in both modes and find it consistent and accurate.
Aquanaut20 - How long have you had your CMS50F, and what is its firmware version? AFAIK, all the current ones (version 3.7 and above) only have the one slightly odd mini-USB connector. Either the finger sensor can be plugged in, or the USB cable, but not both at the same time.
I ?think? that SleepyHead can still read data from your older CMS50F, as well as the current version. It may be able to read either live data or recorded from yours, but only recorded data from mine.
I have had mine for about 3months..
Thank you Aquanaut20, I haven't seen that one yet. I hope that it works with SleeyHead like the ver. 3.7 CMS50F; have you tried that, or only used the SpO2 Assistant software from Contec?
Ahh, Google to the rescue. This is apparently a closeout of the earlier version, pre-3.7, at a very good price. I may jump on it myself.

Q: Custom validation message not working mvc I'm working on a mvc5 app and I need my validation messsages to be in spanish and i'm using data annotations to achieve this, the problem is that only work for the Required annotation, here is the code i'm using for that.
Model
[Required(ErrorMessage = "El numero de empleado no ha sido ingresado")]
    [Display(Name = "Total de empleados de la empresa")]
    [RegularExpression("^[0-9]+$", ErrorMessage = "Debe ser un número.")]
    public int NumeroEmpleados { get; set; }

View
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.NumeroEmpleados, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.NumeroEmpleados, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

the problem is that is showing the default message, which is in english, like this.
"The field NumeroEmpleados must be a number. "
EDIT
So, I solved it using jquery.validation localization features, now my number fields are correct, but my currency fields are not, currently they are something like this.
[Required]
    [Display(Name = "Recaudo CE")]
    [RegularExpression("^[0-9]+$", ErrorMessage = "Ingrese un valor apropiado")]
    [DataType(DataType.Currency)]
    [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:C0}")]
    public decimal RecaudoCE { get; set; }

A: The default message is not coming from the RegularExpressionAttribute, it's from trying to bind a non-integer value to an integer property.
You could make NumeroEmpleados a String, and do the conversion to integer in your controller.

There is little so beloved among journalists as The Truth. If there were anything approaching religion in the newsroom, The Truth would be the deity. It feels good to be a part of The Truth. It gives your work a greater purpose. A nobility of sorts.
But is this what we really seek, The Truth? Are we faithful congregants? I see a lot of data journalism that makes me wonder. Do we really understand Truth? Is that even the goal of what we do? And are we doing enough, as data journalists/app developers/data visualizers to arrive at The Truth? To facilitate it? As a sinner, I wonder.
So, I've been wallowing in the Liberal Arts side of my head lately. I've been wandering the philosophy section on the internet, reading about Truth, Knowledge, and epistemology, trying like hell to get out of the very practical, mission-focused side of me and really think about why I'm uncomfortable with a lot of data journalism lately. And I think I have it.
Too often, we use numbers with blind faith, as if they were handed down from on high and we mere mortals are not to question them. We do not communicate doubt in our own findings, or anyone else's for that matter. Most of us recognize that data is dirty, flawed, and noisy. We admit that often the data we have has a point of view—it was gathered for a specific purpose, and that purpose isn't always our purpose. Lately, an uncomfortable amount of the data we write about has been poorly gathered by a marketing company hoping we'll take the bait. Also, we know that human beings often gathered this data, which means there are errors in it. But how often do we communicate that to readers?
Even if we do try to communicate doubt to readers, I wonder if we possess the right language to express it. My head was sent spinning reading Jordan Ellenberg's How Not To Be Wrong this summer. The book is filled with all kinds of mathematical thinking, but one of the most powerful parts of it is where he explains just what statistical significance really is. Put plainly, it just means something is extremely unlikely to have happened by chance. If you've studied statistics, I think you probably know that. But, if you're like me, that didn't completely do away with the loaded meaning of "significance." You, like me, thought statistical significance meant it isn't random and that Means Something, which may not be the case at all. It might be statistically significant and utterly unimportant.
How many of our readers know that? How many of our readers know to even question that?
Most often what passes for data journalism these days comes in the form of strident, confident, and declarative statements with Findings You Won't Believe. Or we blithely claim we can explain some massively complex situation in X number of charts, where X is almost always less than the number of fingers on one hand. And we leave absolutely nothing to question. Our need for Authority demands it.
I think the effects of this are becoming clear. And they aren't good.
A recent warning sign, if you need one, came from Margaret Sullivan, the New York Times' Public Editor, who asks "Why Didn't the Data-Driven Media See Eric Cantor's Defeat Coming?" The question implies that because there's data in the world, data journalists should have seen what is a colossally rare thing coming. A sitting party majority leader losing to an economics professor who raised a tiny fraction of the incumbent's cash and skipped campaign events because of finals week at his university—I mean, who couldn't predict that?
I believe questions like this come from the mistaken notion that data means there's no doubt about what comes from it. Numbers = Truth. And it's our collective tendency toward the declarative that fosters this idea.
Recently, Zeynep Tufekci got at some of my angst in criticizing 538's blown prediction of Brazil beating Germany in the World Cup. 538 had Brazil winning it all, and even without their most talented player and team captain, they predicted a win over Germany in the semi-finals. Final result: Germany 7, Brazil 1.
This jeremiad started with my worry about our struggles with recognizing and communicating the difference between capital-T Truth and truth, lowercased.
The canon of philosophical thinking about truth, to put it mildly, is long. And unless you're a really big fan of that kind of writing, it's taxing. I've found math textbooks that were more readable. You'd think something so fundamental as truth would be a simple thing, but you'd be very, very wrong. To save you the time, there are a ton of theories of truth, and among the first is the correspondence theory of truth. Simply put, the correspondence theory says that what we say or think is true so long as it corresponds with the facts. Simple right?
Let me ask you a question: The U.S. Census Bureau says that my town of Lincoln, Neb. has 265,389 people in it. Does it?
Let's peel back some layers here. The U.S. Census is mandated by the Constitution, and requires the government to count every man, woman, and child in the country every 10 years. Courts have held that the Constitution literally requires a headcount, meaning no sampling or guessing or imputation or anything.
So, the whole thing is doomed from the start. Homeless people are hard to find, undocumented immigrants don't exactly want to chat with government agents, and the same goes for tin-foil hat conspiracy theorists/sovereign citizen/anti-government folks. But the government tries anyway. And they publish a number. That number is the number of people they counted on April 1 of the first year of that decade (2010 was the last one). Now, that number is published long after April 1—the first numbers usually come out about 8 months after and then more trickle out over time.
The problem? One day after April 1, the data, which is wrong to begin with, is wrong-er. How? People die. People are born. People move. People go to jail. Life goes on. The data does not.
Between the decennial census, the Census Bureau uses sampling methods to estimate the population year after year. Those numbers have a sampling error, which makes wrong numbers that are frozen in time…something.
But does Lincoln have 265,389 people? Yeah, around there. It's about right. It's true, not True. It's as correct as we have any hope of finding out. It's true without being scientifically, according to Hoyle, 100 percent accurate.
And that's the difference between Capital T Truth and lowercase t truth. Capital T truth, by some philosophical constructs, exists only in the realm of religion or science, if at all. Things like "God is good," "light moves at 299,792,458 meters per second," etc., are Truth to those who believe. They are the incontrovertible basis of a life's work for those who believe: a foundation, core. All else is truth.
Where my mind was opened to this was in remote sensing—data pictures taken from space. And it was a professor at the University of South Florida, Barnali Dixon, that let me into her remote sensing class, who blew my mind with this Truth vs truth idea.
Think about it this way: Walk outside. Find a tree. Walk up to it. Describe it to someone who has no idea what a tree is. In describing it, you're likely to reach out and touch it, right? Because you can touch it. You can look closely at it. You can interact with it. You know things about it. It is real to you. With sensors, you can measure things about it, and you can do so easily because you are standing next to it.
Now, take a picture of that tree from space and do the same thing. Given a powerful enough sensor, you will be able to see it. You'll be able to describe it in meaningful ways. You can say things about the leaves, or the size of the tree. But, there are thousands of feet of atmosphere between the tree and the sensor. There are changes in the air density and makeup, in particulate matter in the air, in cloud cover. All of those things—and more—can alter the data recorded by the sensor and analyzed by you. Greens aren't as bright, infrared radiation values get skewed, what you know about the tree changes, if only slightly. You will perceive the tree differently than you will standing next to it. Those descriptions may be true in the light of the data you have, but they are not True in the way being able to touch the tree makes them True. They will not match the sensor values you got standing next to it. It's the consequence of the remote part of remote sensing.
In other words, remotely sensed data will tell us things about the world that are broadly true, but they will never be True. They can't be. There's too much distance between the object and the sensor. Too much to go wrong. But that doesn't make what the sensor tells us wrong. It makes it something else. It introduces doubt.
And that brings us to epistemic justification. Epistemology, broadly speaking, is the branch of philosophy that is concerned with knowledge, and how we know what we know. Epistemology, like Truth, is another area of philosophy that's dauntingly large and complex. But epistemic justification can be boiled down like this: Knowledge is when we believe something to be true and we have something to justify that belief, like facts or observations.
Data journalism spends a lot of time on the first part of epistemic justification—believing something is true and writing about it as if it were—while giving incomplete attention to the second part: the justification for that belief.
Before I get too far into philosophical debates, let's talk about journalism again.
For a story, I spent 10 months analyzing Landsat imagery of the state of Florida, looking for wetlands that had been replaced by urbanized uses. Using a method that combined painstaking visual analysis with some data filtering using other imagery layers, the then-St. Petersburg Times (now Tampa Bay Times) determined, conservatively, that 84,000 acres of wetlands had been lost to urbanization—which is remarkable, in the fact that federal and state regulations say that's not supposed to happen to such an extent.
The accuracy of the Times analysis was then formally assessed, using a random set of 385 points—enough for a 95 percent confidence level with a plus or minus 5 percent confidence interval where the distribution of the data is unknown—generated in ArcGIS through Hawth's Analysis Tools. The points were visually inspected to ensure spatial randomness, and further tested using spatial density analysis. Overall accuracy of the analysis was around 80 percent for both image years. However, wetlands accuracy for both years was around 66 percent, and errors were largely of commission—calling something a wetland that wasn't. Errors were primarily misclassifications of certain kinds of agriculture—i.e. sugar—and misclassifications of wetlands forest types that share similar spectral characteristics of non-wetlands forest types. Relying on only the Times analysis would be a mistake, based on several factors. Using single date imagery for wetlands change detection has been found many times over to be less accurate than using multi-date imagery, owing partly to seasonal changes in wetlands (Lunetta and Balogh (1999), Ozesmi and Bauer (2001), Reese et. al (2002)). And, the two image years use different sensors—Landsat 5 TM for one, and Landsat 7 ETM+ for another—which creates some sensor-based differences that can't be extracted or accounted for.
How often do you see a news organization saying that relying on their own analysis alone would be a mistake? Frankly, nine years later, I now wonder if the editors even read this part of the story.
But look at what we did: We formally assessed the accuracy of our work, we found it lacking, and we devised a method to overcome it. Then, we detailed that method, and formally assessed the outcome. And we published it all. In the end, our analysis met the standards for peer-reviewed remote sensing work.
Should every data story do this? No. Not hardly. There's no time. And not every story is worth assessing this way. But a broader, more systemic step toward this kind of transparency is warranted.
Let's get back to practical for a moment. What if we were to make an epistemic software layer for news? Like Vox's cards, except for doubt. Let's even call it Doubt.js. And because I'm incapable of being this serious for this long, let's make it tag phrases based on data with animated gifs, because that's what the internet demands. What would it do?
First and foremost, I think it needs to signal to readers when there's doubt about something. It may be fine to include a fact, or some data, or someone's conclusions about something, even if there's doubt. It may be all we have. Or maybe this story may be for fun—Top Colleges for This Major!—and we don't really care about the methodology because we're not taking it seriously. I don't have a problem with data stories for fun, we just need to let people in on the joke. Here's this data set, it's not serious, but what the hell let's take a look anyway.
Rock Solid. Core, commonly used, and thoroughly vetted datasets that may have warts, but are generally the authoritative source on these things. Talking: weather data, jobless claims, certain Census data, economic indicators, etc.
Pretty good. Data that get used a lot, but there are some holes that make them a little troublesome. Specifically thinking about unemployment numbers here and stories about how they're up and down and what that means. Even economists debate if these numbers really measure what they claim. But, at the same time, it's what we've got and there aren't better alternatives.
Danger zone. Primarily, this is survey data, especially where the sample size is really small for what they want to measure or the source won't disclose things like sample size or margins of error. Surveys are incredibly useful, but should be treated with caution, especially if they're coming from a commercial source. Like, say, this piece, which could have used a whole lot of doubt smeared on it.
Lolz this is crap. This is reserved for those top 13 (or whatever) lists, stories that we pretend have some kind of data backing them up. For example, this train wreck, which only gets worse the more you read the methodology. I have no problem with people writing these things—you're a liar if you say you've never read a top 10 list post somewhere. But I have a problem when publishers take them seriously or pretend they have any validity at all, because readers might just do the same. I'm sure the folks at Rowan University are great people, but to say they are the 63rd best journalism school in the US, ahead of the University of Missouri at 64th is laughable. And if some kid took Mizzou off her top schools list because of this crap, that would be a crime.
Is this the right way to go about this? I have no idea. I'm throwing it out there as a means to start thinking more seriously about how we communicate what we know and how we know it. Just because something is a number or can be made into a neat map or cool chart doesn't make it Truth. We paint ourselves into a corner when we say that Data = Authority, and the more (and longer) we do it, the smaller that corner gets.

And now you get to see the wonder of what I did with them. You should go out and do it too. Right now, after you finish reading this post. Because the tomatoes aren't going to be this good again. In fact, it's mid-September. It might ALREADY BE TOO LATE. Hold onto this recipe though, and be ready for next year, because I promise that you won't be disappointed. This is a tomato tarte tatin – an upside down fruit tart traditionally made with apples in which caramelize the fruit in sugar and butter. Barbara Lynch twists the concept into a savory dish using tomatoes – and what a dish it is!
So you've already made your tomatoes en confit.
Those guys are just getting started. We're going to really caramelize them. So that doesn't mean throw them in a pan and blast them with high heat until they're burnt and terrible.
It means we will be patient. We will cook them slowly. Gently. And 45 minutes to an hour later, we will have the softest, sweetest, lightly browned onions imaginable.
Now you can either keep going, or save those for a day or two until you're ready, because there's a bit of work left.
Ready? Okay. Mix those onions up with some Dijon mustard and some basil – preferably basil from your garden – that you chopped up. Mix it good! Sadly, I seem to have neglected to photograph this, but it looks like you'd imagine.
Grab your tomatoes, some tart pans, and some frozen puff pastry. (I know, I know, but you won't ALWAYS have the kind of time to make your own puff pastry, will you?)Use the tart pan to cut the appropriate sized puff pastry circles. Let that hang in the fridge while you work.
Then, take your little tart pans, and spread some honey on the bottom. Place your tomatoes in a layer skin-side down on the honey.
Top that with your onions.
Get out your puff pastry circles, and put them on top of it all. Whip up some egg and brush it on.
Now put your little pans on a bigger pan (because this WILL get messy). Bake it at 375°.
Give them a few minutes to rest and relax. But not too long, or they'll stick! Run a knife along the edge and unmold. Admire the beauty.
Now you get to be artsy! Get some more basil leaves, and fry them for a few seconds on either side. Be careful, because they will spit a bit. Grab some marscarpone and just dab some in the middle of your tarts. Garnish with your fried basil leaves.
How's that for glory? Serve them immediately, they deserve to be eaten hot. They will be sweet and savory, buttery and delicious, a perfect encapsulation of the end of summer.
If you would like a more precise recipe, you can buy Stir, or you can visit The Pêche, who have laid it out nicely.
