Q: EventHandler is null I am trying to raise a click event from User control and handle it on the containing page. The problem I have is, when I click the button 'imgstep1' on the user control, the code behind imgstep1_click event triggers and but the 'btnHandler' event is alway null. Hence it doesnt call the parent event.
Any help on this will be much appreciated.
My User Control Code is :
.ascx code:
<asp:ImageButton ImageUrl="./images/step1.gif"
        ID="imgstep1" runat="server"
         OnClick="imgstep1_Click"/>

.ascx.cs code :
    public delegate void OnImageButtonClick();
    public event OnImageButtonClick btnHandler;

    protected void imgstep1_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
    {
        if (btnHandler != null)
            btnHandler();
    }

.aspx page code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     ucStepHdr.btnHandler += new StepsHeader.OnImageButtonClick(ucStepHdr_btnHandler);
}

void ucStepHdr_btnHandler()
{
  Response.Write ('test');
}

A: The code looks simple enough to work correctly. The only reason that btnHandler is null could be because the event registration code in the aspx page is not called.
Is there a post back ? Are you sure you are adding the event EACH TIME the page loads ???
ucStepHdr.btnHandler += new StepsHeader.OnImageButtonClick(ucStepHdr_btnHandler);

A: If you remove OnClick="imgstep1_Click" and you put this in your ascx.cs
protected ImageButton imgstep1;

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    this.imgstep1.Click += new ImageClickEventHandler(imgstep1_Click);
}

Does this method of wiring up your event work?

A: It looks like it should work... can you step through the code in the debugger, and see what the value of ucStepHdr.btnHandler is as soon as you set it in Page_Load? (Just an aside, traditionally these are set in init rather than load, but this isn't your issue.)

Break helps Cats recover from loss
Published 10:30 pm Monday, November 18, 2019
LEXINGTON (KT) — Kentucky needed a break to get over a shocking 67-74 loss to Evansville.
"Everybody was down, but the next day everybody got back in here," junior Nick Richards said Sunday. "We just talked and we took it as a learning experience. We didn't take it as a loss even though we did lose, but we just took it as a learning experience."
Along with Richards, Kentucky freshman guard Johnny Juzang also was disappointed in the narrow loss to the Purple Aces, but agreed the setback served as a learning experience.
"It was a tough one for sure, a tough loss. Not one that you see coming. But I think with anything, you take what you can from it. You can learn a lot from a loss. Luckily, it's early in the season and not in March, when it really counts. (We're) definitely learning a lot from it."
The top-ranked Wildcats (2-1) return from a five-day layoff with a contest against Utah Valley on Monday, the first of three games in a six-day span. Kentucky coach John Calipari said the layoff was beneficial for his squad.
"We needed it. I needed a day and a half to come outside from under the covers," he said. "When you're under the covers like that for a day and a half – that's not true, 24 hours I was. … I think they know now that every game, we have a chance to beat anybody – and lose to anybody if we don't compete. If we play great defense, we'll have a chance in every game. We're still trying to figure out the offense."
Calipari isn't sure how his team will respond but is optimistic his squad will rebound from a loss that will cost the Cats the top-ranking when they are released Monday.
"My guess is we'll start the game tentative just because you'll have the dregs of the last game, and then hopefully they'll just get going and play basketball and play free and literally play like you have nothing to lose — because they (the other team) will," Calipari said.
EJ STILL OUT
Calipari said sophomore forward EJ Montgomery is still out because of an undisclosed injury but hopes he will be back in approximately seven days,
"He's not on the court with us but he's doing some stuff," Calipari said. "My guess is a week away. I don't know — maybe longer. It'd be nice to get him back and have a roster. The other side of this is it's hard to practice when you're down to seven, eight guys. Like, how do you really scrimmage to get after each other the way you need to? "
Montgomery has missed the past two games and scored six points in the opener against Michigan State.
ROOM FOR LYNN
Kentucky quarterback Lynn Bowden has offered to walk-on with the Wildcats to give the team some muchf-needed depth, but Calipari expects Bowden to keep playing football especially following Saturday's 38-14 win over Vanderbilt that moved Kentucky within one game of becoming bowl eligible for the fourth year in a row.
"I don't want to jinx it, but if they get one more win, they'll be playing for a long time. I think Mark (Stoops) would kill me if I said, 'Yeah, send Lynn over,'" Calipari said. "But he's a competitor, boy, whew. I mean he rolled his ankle so bad (a couple of games ago). I mean, he rolled it so bad that I thought he was out for the game. He was mad that he rolled his ankle because he had to come out for three plays. Like, rolled it. And went back in and won that football game a couple of weeks ago when they had to win and stayed in the game and won the game. It's incredible stuff. He's the ultimate competitor, I'll tell you that."

JAMES BLYTH and ANN LAING
James, the son of David Blyth and Janet Anderson, was born in Cupar, Fi feshire, in 1802. However he was not christened until 16th June 1817.
As a young man he traveled to South America. From early in 1830 until J anuary 1836 he worked as a carpenter, joiner and cabinetmaker in Lima, P eru. The British Consul General in Peru, Belford Hinton Wilson, was so i mpressed with James that he wrote him a reference praising his "unimpea chable honesty, sobriety and persevering industry''
After six years in Peru, which included involvement in a rebellion and t he war with Bolivia, James returned to Scotland where on 24 February 19 40 in Cupar, he married Ann Laing, daughter of James Laing and Catherin e Anderson.
On 6th November 1841, with their 7-month-old son David, James and Ann s ailed for New Zealand on the "Martha Ridgway" via the Cape of Good Hope . Records of the ship show that it was built in Liverpool in 1840 and w as "sheathed in felt and yellow metal." It was described as a "splendid s hip constructed expressly for the passenger trade." She had a "very spa cious poop" and was "replete with every arrangement for the comfort and h ealth of the passengers." The 621 ton sailing ship made its maiden voya ge to New Zealand captained by Henry Webb, and after a tempestuous jour ney, arrived in Nelson on 7th April 1842. James gave his occupation at t he time as a joiner. The family later disembarked at Petone, less than t wo years after the settlement of Wellington. The Martha Ridgway meet an u ntimely end that same year (1842) when on a trip from New Zealand to Bo mbay she was wrecked on a reef in the Torres Strait.
For some years James was a businessman in Wellington. On October the 16 th, 17th, 19th and 24th of 1848 Wellington was rocked by earthquakes. W ard's book 'Early Wellington', describing houses affected by the quakes m entions James's two storied clay house in Dixon street as being "much s haken with one gable down."
During his time in Wellington James was a member of the first "Kirk ses sion" of the Church of Scotland which occurred in 1853.
James appears on the Burgess Roll for the Borough of Wellington in 1842 , is shown on the list of persons qualified to serve as jurors for the D istrict of Port Nicholson for 1848 and 1856, and is on the City of Well ington electoral Roll, as a Cabinet Maker of Dixon Street, up until 185 8. The Burgess Roll, by way of explanation, was a record of all men gra nted the freedom of the city. It was an ancient Scottish honor which, a mong other things, granted the holder a share in government.
At some time after the birth of his youngest child (Herbert in 1861) Ja mes purchased a 2,000 acre property and homestead in the recently settl ed Wanganui area. He named the homestead "Marybank" in honor of his dau ghter Mary who coincidentally had been born the same year as the home w as completed. The homestead had been built by David Strachan from Kahik atea timber cut and pit sawn on site. It was of a double-gabled design w ith a front verandah.
The move to Wanganui would have been a major undertaking in those days a s the country had not long been 'opened up' and the threat from maraudi ng bands of Maori was very real.
With true pioneering spirit James entered into the local community dete rmined to establish a viable settlement. He was the first Chairman of t he Whangaehu School Committee, a member of the Provincial Council, a Ju stice of the Peace and an elder of the Presbyterian Church. He was no d oubt a well-respected member of the community.
On the evening of 8th October 1862, less than two years after moving to t he area, while returning from visiting the Campbell family at nearby 'W iritoa,' James was thrown from his horse and killed.
On his death the properties "Marybank" at Putiki, and "Blythwood" at Ta ylorville, were leased out. When Ann died in 1886 the properties were d ivided up between the couples nine children.

Events in Britney Spears' life move at the speed of greased lightning. No sooner had her husband Kevin Federline revealed that she had regained her pre-pregnancy weight two weeks after the birth of their last son born in September, than she announced their divorce for 'irreconcilable reasons'. It appears only yesterday (and in fact it was the day before) when Kevin complained about not being able to lose the 'sympathy weight' he had put on during her pregnancy by eating extra junk food so she wouldn't feel bad about bloating up by being pregnant.
Kevin's intentions may have been noble, but this was obviously not enough to protect him from the iron-clad provisions of Britney's pre-nuptial agreement, which protects her hard-earned money from his covetous gaze. Whatever Britney and Kevin's story later turns out to be, a part of it is certainly about one of the most dangerous things we are acquiring in the fascination with Western role models in today's globalized world. What Britney and Kevin are passing on with the open discussion of their respective weights before and after having children, is a negative self-image that rests solely on body shape, or a dangerous body-image if you so prefer.
A conversation overheard between a woman in a gym in Chennai and her personal trainer, to whom she was complaining about being a few pounds heavier than before the birth of her two month old baby, set me thinking. Wasn't she breast feeding? What did a few pounds matter when it came to the question of a baby? She looked and seemed pretty slim, so why the obsession with losing weight? Her trainer was obviously non-plussed at how to explain the whole motherhood and maternal responsibility to her when the sole preoccupation she had in her life was losing weight.
Caring for another human being in the way we do as mothers is supposed to bring us close to both, our inner strength, and our limitations. It completes a significant phase in the development of our ego, giving us the humility and the self-acceptance we need to become fully human. Parenting, whether it is as fathers or as mothers, is an important factor in self-esteem. The kind of anxiety being felt by the lady in the gym caused me genuine distress for a while. Didn't the fact that she had produced a marvelous 'bundle of joy' mean anything to the young woman? Why was her self-esteem so low as to sink several notches with just a few more ounces of weight? Without meaning to, I felt myself thinking of all the childless women and men who would gladly look a little less beautiful if they could instead have a child to hold in their arms.
If Britney has recovered her pre-pregnancy weight in two weeks, good for her. If Malaika Arora has a flat tummy in addition to a small and active son, great news. No one denies these women their looks or fame. What is sad is that in the glam-sham culture we live in today, we seem to have forgotten other ideals of femininity and motherhood.
So while we rave about 'Lage Raho Munnabhai's' Mahatma Gandhi, isn't it time to ask ourselves, what about Kasturba?
I believe one should do what ever he or she wants to do as long as it does not harm any one…rather then keeping standards with Mailka Arora or Britney spears or on the other hand Kauturbha Gandhi….
Yeah i think so to, i mean i've got 2 kids only @ 19 and mayun i dont give a *** what i look like, i mean after having a baby who cares only the rich and famous. My kids and whanau (family love me the way i am and im proud of myself for going through all that with my partner by myside al the way. As for dem rich people they have kids yet they can't look after them. how is a baby ment to bond with its mother. If there out partying alnight. Thats what pisses me off the most. I know they have al this money, to get hired help but that's not the point the babys probably gonna grow up knowing that the NANNY is his or her MOTHER.

Khedira Hat-trick Lifts 10-man Juventus, Milan See Red
Sami Khedira hit his first hat-trick as ten-man Juventus kept pace with leaders Napoli and Inter Milan in a 6-2 goalfest at Udinese on Sunday as AC Milan's campaign unravelled further with a goalless draw at Genoa.

Sami Khedira (Reuters)
Milan: Sami Khedira hit his first hat-trick as ten-man Juventus kept pace with leaders Napoli and Inter Milan in a 6-2 goalfest at Udinese on Sunday as AC Milan's campaign unravelled further with a goalless draw at Genoa.
Massimiliano Allegri's champions desperately needed to win at Udine after claiming just one point in their previous two league games.
And the reigning six-time champions fought back after Stipe Perica opened after eight minutes for the hosts and Mario Mandzukic was sent off on 25 minutes for a second yellow card.
But a Samir own goal after 14 minutes and a Khedira strike got the Turin giants back in front within six minutes.
"There was a good response from the boys. It wasn't easy," said Allegri.
"In fact I want to thank him (Mandzukic), because we had to get back to winning games by defending and suffering for the result, so we can only thank him," Allegri told Mediaset Premium.
"Over the last two games we had decent performances, but we needed something like this. Down to 10 men, the team was much more focused
"This was a turning point in the championship. A negative result would have been hard to swallow."
Udinese equalised with Danilo's header, but it was Juventus all the way in the second half with a Daniele Rugani header on 52 minutes followed by two more from Khedira with Miralem Pjanic adding a sixth in the final minute.
"It's the first hat-trick of my career, so that's great, but I'm above all happy with the win," said the Germany international.
"It's always difficult for Juventus when we're not winning, especially after Mario's red card. It was not easy for us, but we are still one of the best teams in Europe and we proved that today."
Juventus remain joint third with Lazio who beat Cagliari 3-0 but are just a point behind second-placed Inter Milan and three adrift of leaders Napoli, who have 25 points from nine games.
On Saturday, Inter Milan ended Napoli's winning streak with a goalless draw despite a hard-fought top of the table clash in Naples.
But former Juventus player Leonardo Bonucci's nightmare start at his new club Milan continued as he was sent off for elbowing -- a first red card decided by the video assistant referee in Serie A -- that could cost coach Vincenzo Montella his job.
Montella had already been under huge pressure after three straight Serie A losses and Thursday's 0-0 Europa League draw with AEK Athens in Milan.
And amid reports his days are numbered the team played for over an hour with ten men after video confirmed a nasty elbow from the Milan captain on Genoa's Aleandro Rosi.
"VAR helps but we have to decide if we are in a televisual world or one on the pitch," complained Montella after his team dropped to 11th far below the ambitions of the club's new Chinese owners.
"This is an episode that can change my career."
Bonucci's sending off not only damaged Milan's chances on the night but the captain will almost certainly receive a two-match ban, ruling him out against champions Juventus next weekend.
"Bonucci had seven seasons at Juventus, I would have liked to see him against us, because it's always better to take on the strongest opponents," said Allegri.
AS Roma bounced back from last weekend's loss at Napoli with a 1-0 win at Torino to build on their midweek 3-3 Champions League draw at Chelsea.
Serbian defender Kolarov's spectacular free kick after 69 minutes moved Roma up to fifth, with a match in hand.
Lazio's Ciro Immobile scored a double to bring his Serie A leading tally to 13 goals in nine games against Cagliari.
Immobile stepped up to convert a penalty after seven minutes and headed in his second four minutes before the break.
Angolan defender Bastos made it 3-0 off a Luis Alberto free kick to condemn the Sardinians, under new coach Diego Lopez, to a fifth straight defeat.

The Buddhist Crusade Driving Sri Lankan Muslims Into Radicalism
Anti Muslim Social media add calling for rejection of famous Sinhala language vocalist of Muslim origin, late Mohideen Beg
The nationalist chauvinist sections of the Sinhala polity suffer from the worst form of inferiority complex. They have to be constantly a party to the oppression of another race, society or religion to feel euphorically superior. The leaders who can afford this to them can continue to be in power notwithstanding any other shortcoming however grave.
The Muslims, the majority of whom speak the Tamil language do not seek their collective identity in language or culture but in their religion—-Islam. The early Muslim immigrants were mostly traders who married local Tamil and Sinhalese women and settled down; some of the Malays came in as mercenaries during the Dutch rule. The Muslim livelihood profile had over the years evolved away from excessive dependence on trade to a range of other occupations. They do not make a distinct ethnic entity but their contribution to the political, economic, cultural and educational landscape of the country has been tremendously the richer for it. Islam is a strongly theistic faith while Buddhism is a philosophy with no belief in the existence of a God. Dalai Lama in an interview declared that he was an atheist.
The Muslims in Sri Lanka are a peace loving ethno religious group comprising a cross section of intellectuals, professionals, traders, farmers, fishers etc. Their contribution to the Sri Lankan political, economic, social and cultural landscape over the decades has been great. They are politically largely conservative and least confrontational though looking for advantages in a shifting political landscape. They do not have a defined territory as their homeland and therefore being vulnerable to attacks. They have never been given to religious extremism and their society has kept away mullahs and the likes of extremists from dominating their religious observances and practices.
Attempts have been made to dislodge Muslims from economic sectors dominated by them, beginning with the 1915 anti-Muslim riots, and yet continuing from time to time. This column, in the past, had unequivocally condemned the misguided action of the LTTE wherein close to 80,000 persons, constituting almost the entire Muslim population of the five Northern Districts of Jaffna, Mannar, Vavuniya, Mullaithivu and Kilinochchi were summarily expelled from the province by the LTTE on one fateful day in October 1990. The operation was carried out so quickly and with such ruthless efficiency that there was little or no resistance. Amongst those who were evicted in this barbaric act of ethnic cleansing were some of the finest human beings.
The majority of those professing any particular religion, do so because they have been born into a society that professes it. Even in a pluralist secular society, relatively few embrace a religion or faith of their own choice of conviction. Others are otherwise pre occupied and many with little or no space to choose a faith of their own. In Sri Lanka not being a pluralist society, the boundaries are so rigid that any conversion, even voluntary, is looked upon with contempt. It must be remembered that the first Buddhist king of Sri Lanka was a convert.
The activities of the newly formed Bodu Bala Sena, a Sinhala Buddhist chauvinist organisation are reminiscent of those of the United Buddhist Front in the year 1956 and immediately thereafter led by a powerful Buddhist monk, subsequently convicted for the murder of the prime minister, was responsible for the violent attacks on the Tamils including their elected representatives, who had organised peaceful protests against the passage of the Sinhala only act. This was a precedent that was to be followed by other chauvinist Sinhala Buddhist organisations backed by the State, organising periodic race riots in which thousands of Tamils perished with their properties looted and robbed lasting till 1983. The periodic Pogroms as a form of repression were a principal cause for the emergence of Tamil militancy.
Having finished with assisting the State in almost annihilating the Tamil race, having destroyed their spirit and established a scorched earth policy in every aspect of their life, the Sinhala Buddhist chauvinists under the newly formed Bodu Bala Sena under State patronage have now begun to attack the Muslims and the Christians on an organised scale as compared to the sporadic form of their attack in Dambulla on 06 April 2012, while the security forces of the Sri Lankan State look after the destruction of Hindu places of worship on a systematic basis. According to most political analysts, the Bodu Bala Sena activities are conducted under the aegis of the Ministry of defence the secretary of which is a brother of President Rajapaksa, while the president gives tacit support to its activities. Expecting reprisals from the Muslim countries in the oncoming US resolution the organisation has been asked to lie low until the resolution is concluded.
Hamid Abdul Karim in his paper "Defending Islam and Muslims" in response to an article in a State controlled newspaper smacking of chauvinism and racism says in relation to the adverse the comment on halaal foods: "Muslims have always consumed halaal foods since the emergence of Islam…….. The need for halaal labels has come about because of exports of food items and cosmetics and the establishment of restaurants owned up by non-Muslim enterprises like McDonalds or KFC or Pizza Hut…….. But what I must put on record is that it was these non-Muslim establishments that approached Muslim religious leaders to certify their products as 'halaal' so that they could cater to the Muslims. And the cost of the halaal certificate for each meal would not amount to more than three cents. …….By the way, I wonder if she (the author) would condemn Jews in the same way she insults Muslims because they too have this business of halaal attached to their consumption of animal products. The only difference is in the terminology. They call it 'kosher', Muslims call it 'halaal'….." Such colossal ignorance.
The Rajapaksas in order to divert the attention of the impoverished masses away from their economic realities are encouraging acts of chauvinist violence against the Muslims driving them to radicalism which can be quite dangerous to the wellbeing of peace not only in Sri Lanka but also in South Asia leading to the wanton slaughter of tens of thousands of innocents once again.

The Road Safety Magic Show is available for two age groups. With each show having different elements specific to the ages.
Primary pupils have different needs for crossing safely and the show has been designed to reinforce how, where & when to cross the road. The show includes singing, movement & a more fun-filled approach.
9-15 year olds are statistically more likely to be injured on roads, One factor is that they are probably crossing on their own. So the show is a more sophisticated presentation where we reinforce that they are responsible for their own safety at this age. It ensures pupils remember how to cross the road, peer-pressure, capering & using mobile phones.

After discussions with head teachers, we have developed an in depth interactive, training session for your Junior Road Safety Officers or Junior Travel Ambassadors.
The session includes : planning an itinerary, how to keep excitement and interest in the talk, presentation skills, and much more. Sessions can last 45 to 90 minutes and is suitable for all ages of JRSO's or JTA's.

Falun Gong members commemorate 10 years of persecution in China
Public demonstrations in Asia and the world against the Chinese Communist Party. In 1999, the group had more than 70 million members in China, and conducted a protest demonstration. Since then, the group has been banned and its members punished with imprisonment and torture.
Beijing (AsiaNews/Agencies) - On April 25, 2009, there were demonstrations in many big cities in Asia and the world, but not in Beijing, to commemorate the 10 years of persecution in China against the followers of the movement Falun Gong. Over the past decade, there have been tens of thousands of arrests, and thousands of deaths in prison.
In Yokohama (Japan), about 300 members braved heavy rain to protest against the torture practiced by the Chinese Communist Party. In Taipei (Taiwan), about a thousand members demonstrated in Freedom Square, calling for an end to the persecution in China. More than 3,000 gathered in New York.
In Hong Kong, where the religious group is permitted, hundreds of followers marched peacefully from Victoria Park to the government building, accompanied by three musical groups, wearing yellow shirts and holding banners reading "completely dissolve the Chinese Communist Party" or "50 million heroes have left the party," in memory of the approximately 53 million members of the group who have left the CCP in protest.
Only China was without demonstrations. In Beijing, the streets were patrolled by the police, ready to put down any demonstration.
The group, founded on the principles of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, preaches "truth, compassion, and tolerance," in addition to the regular practice of meditation and physical exercise in order to improve health.
On April 25, 1999, more than 10,000 Falun Gong members surrounded the general headquarters of the CCP in Beijing, to protest against the ban on their group. At the time, it numbered more than 70 million followers, including many members of the CCP and government officials. In response, Beijing began a systematic persecution, imprisoning anyone who participated in the group or spread its materials. According to the figures of the Falun Gong itself, in 10 years more than 3,000 followers have died in prison from torture and beatings, and there have been more than 63,000 documented cases of torture, but human rights groups say that "only" about a hundred have died in prison, and about 8,000 have been arrested. The group complains that recently the authorities have also begun to persecute its defense attorneys with threats, beatings, and arrests.
On April 23, foreign minister Jian Yu reiterated at a press conference that this group is forbidden because it is "wicked"and "has violated human rights through mental control of the people, causing sicknesses, infirmities, and even the death of many followers and innocence," and that the authorities have not violated any law.

Q: Variable alternates whether or not it exists in Python Debugger Can anyone explain this? (Python 2.7, Django 1.7)
foo = data['selected_items']
(Pdb) foo
(Pdb) *** NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
foo
(Pdb) u'1,2'
foo
(Pdb) *** NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
foo
(Pdb) u'1,2'
foo
(Pdb) *** NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
foo
(Pdb) u'1,2'

Here is the view function that triggered it:
def process_form(request, model_name):
    form = BulkEditForm(request.POST)
    if form.is_valid():
        data = form.clean()

        if data['select_all']:
            pass
        else:
            import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

request.POST:
{'select_all': False, 'primary_tech': <Person: Bob>, 'primary_biz': <Person: Mary>, 'selected_items': u'1,2', 'backup_tech': None, 'backup_biz': None}

A: You have two threads which stopped at the same breakpoint.
So basically, there are two instances of pdb, competing for your prompt, i.e. your prompts are alternating between the different threads. You first assign to the name foo in one, than the other one gets a chance to run, knowing nothing about foo, then when you press enter, the other is back, with foo defined.
The best indicator that this is the case is that your prompt is not aligned with your commands and their outputs. Instead of:
<PROMPT> COMMAND
OUTPUT
<PROMPT> COMMAND
OUTPUT

You see:
COMMAND
<PROMPT> OUTPUT
COMMAND
<PROMPT> OUTPUT

Everytime you press enter, the "other" thread sneaks in its prompt before the "first" thread manages to write its output.

EDIT
A simple way to reproduce in a standalone, without django:
from threading import Thread

def f(x):
    import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
    while True: pass

t1 = Thread(target=lambda: f(1))
t2 = Thread(target=lambda: f(2))
t1.start(); t2.start()

(Pdb) x
2
(Pdb) x
1

A: When the statement appears in PDB, it hasn't actually been executed yet. It will be executed once you use 'next'.

INTERVIEW: James Blunt Talks New Single 'Bonfire Heart,' Prince Harry Friendship and More
James Blunt has finally returned to music after three years away and it hasn't taken long for the crooner to make an impact on the charts with his brand new single 'Bonfire Heart' storming the UK charts at number six.
Sitting down for a candid interview with EntertainmentWise, James explains what took him so long to record the album, the lack of airplay the single has received and why he has gone back to basics with the new album 'Moon Landing'…

So you're back with a new album, which we've just listened to and loved – how do you feel ahead of its release after having such huge success?
Well first of all thanks for listening to it in the first place! It's hard to say, it's taken a year to make, I've been locked in the studio for the past year working on this on the whole. I've spent a little time with Martine Terefe who did KT Tunstall and Jason Mraz and stuff but the majority of it was with Tom Rothrock who recorded 'Back To Bedlam' with me so for that reason it was kind of going back to where I started when I was this indie artist when I was signed to Custard records. I think the pressure I find is not really in it's release but in it's recording.
With the recording, you only get one shot of these things really and you want to make the best album you possibly can and I felt all that pressure then and then when you put it out it's whatever will be will be. I suppose being what I was like I say which was an indie artist and my producer worked with artists like Beck and Badly Drawn Boy and these guys have got some incredible music but you don't hear it necessarily in the charts so that teaches me that perhaps the charts aren't the most important thing.
It doesn't vindicate good music it's just measuring units sold. But at the same time who am I kidding, of course it's an exciting time and of course you don't know what the reaction's going to be and if people are going to enjoy it mainly because I'm going on my tour next year and I want people to turn up to my shows!
So it's one of those things and this week has caught me by surprise in one of the most amazing way. I'm an album artist over here in the UK so for this single 'Bonfire Heart' to be mid weeks at number six as it stands at the moment and to have the airplay it's had and the audience support I've had has totally caught me unaware and totally mind blowing to watch and humbling in many ways.
Do you still feel as competitive or are you more relaxed the more albums you do? You're first single from the album, 'Bonfire Heart' currently doing really well on the iTunes charts at number six and climbing in the UK and number one across the world – are you surprised how well it's done?
Yeah absolutely. You know what round the world I have more confidence but I was sent a picture yesterday of it at number one in the iTunes charts in shed loads of countries. It's been great fun, it's really been a fantastic week and it's really amazing to see.
Is it quite comforting ahead of the album's release to see the single doing so week?
Well I think you never know what's going to happen and I'm just enjoying the support and I feel really grateful for that and that's as far as I would take it really.
What's the story behind the single 'Bonfire Heart'?
Well I wrote it with Ryan Tedder, who's a mate of mine who I've worked with before and I finished my tour around Europe so I jumped on his tour bus with his band. I was like a groupie to One Republic although I didn't have to put out! We wrote the song in Amsterdam and Luxembourg and recorded it in Boston and mixed it in Los Angeles and it kind of made sense because the song is about no matter who you are no matter where you're from it's about the human condition which is we need to connect with people.
The lyrics are simple: "People like us don't need that much, just some one to light the spark in our bonfire heart." And the video just really tied in with that, the video was really fun to make. I love motorbikes and so I went to Wyoming and Idaho and we went travelling across hundreds of miles across these two states. You don't have to wear a helmet there, which was cool for that and with an amazing back drop to that part of the world and me on my bike it was 'Top Gun' meets 'Brokeback Mountain' and we used real people not actors because we wanted the song to be as honest and genuine as we could and we wanted a video to match that.
Then the most amazing bit of it was pulling up to a car park in the end and not realizing in the bar in the car park a wedding was taking place and the wedding party saw us and spilled out to see what was going on and so to the bride and groom I got out my guitar. I played them songs in the car park, I played them 'Bonfire Heart' and spontaneously surrounded by their friends and family the bride and groom had their first dance, in the car park and that is what we filmed that is the ending of my video. That's what you see on YouTube now. Absolutely incredible, you could not have scripted it and it looked amazing. She was crying her eyes out, the crew were crying their eyes out too (I wasn't crying because I'm a man, obviously!) so it was a huge honour to be part of and it became their wedding video!
You worked with Ryan Tedder on the album who's currently number one with OneRepublic – is there any competitiveness between you both ahead of this weekend's chart?
Not at all, at the moment we've been speaking to each other several times a day. No not at all, it's kind of interesting how these things pan out because we're kind of the same age, our audience is pretty much the same to a degree, the song I wrote with Ryan Tedder. I don't get played on Radio 1 and he does! But for your friend to have a number one is absolutely amazing.
He's deserved it for a long time too hasn't he?
Yeah and it's really wonderful to watch. Amusingly I'm at number six in the mid week chart and OneRepublic are number five in the mid week charts and if I were to overtake him I know he'd be thrilled. I'm not going to overtake him but I know if I did he really would because it's just a thrill to be happy for each other.
Did it bother you that Radio 1 didn't give your song any airplay?
No, it's just one of the reasons I'm not normally a single seller because Radio 1 will drive single sales and why in the UK I'm an album seller. It's a different thing for me overseas as you can see from those charts.
You've said you've gone back to basics with this album – is this album the best representation of you as a musician and song writer, have you put more of you in this album?
I've definitely out more of me into it yeah. I think perhaps on the second album I brought my touring band in and they made it sound richer perhaps with their great musicianship. But I think perhaps I enjoyed not hiding behind great musicians this time, playing lots of little instruments rather than just myself so for all the naivety that I might play in all the songs that is the quality one hopes. But again with the third album I hid behind a lot of production and recorded in some really amazing studios. Again I love what that album did for my tour, there was a a lot of upbeat songs. If I'd had a third album with more down temp songs, the live show in those larger venues would have been quite a struggle.
But that album brought uptempo songs to play in those large venues I've been playing in. But absolutely I was writing for an audience then, I was saying the words I thought you'd like to hear and now instead I'm writing words I needed to say about real life experiences that I've gone through and yeah I've given myself completely to that.
It's been a very personal songwriting experience and in the recording it was just me locked away in the studio with Tom Rothrock who I did my first album with and recording it in that indie way which before 'You're Beautiful' took it to this dirty place called mainstream that's been it's journey and it's been a really special one. That's why I am genuinely sort of about 'Moon Landing' whatever happens now is out of my control but what I can say is it mans a great deal. I love this album.
What's your favourite tracks from the album?
I love a song called 'Blue on Blue' which a recorded with Martin Terefe of Jason Mraz and K T Tunstall fame and it's a live take on a performance. 'Blue On Blue' is a military term, the same as friendly fire, when two soldiers from the same army shoot at each other by mistake and I relate that back to relationships I've been in because sometimes we hurt the ones we love the most. I love a song called 'Always Hate Me' which sounds like a spaghetti western with two cowboys moving towards each other out side the saloon as they're about to draw their pistols and fire apart from you would be one of the cowboys and the other down the road is your ex girlfriend!
There's a track on the record 'Miss America' which was inspired by Whitney Houston – what was to about her, or at least the story of Whitney that compelled you to write the song?
I guess really, just what a phenomenal talent, an incredible, beautiful voice and how we watched some one like that and feel we know them perhaps and how the tragedy of her dark demons overtook what it is she became known for in the first place and in many ways our role in that as spectators. Hers is the same story as some one like Amy's [Winehouse], as Marilyn Monroe's and the common factor in all of them is perhaps us and how we enjoy spectating just a bit too much.
Did you ever meet her?
No I didn't.
When 'Back To Bedlam' came out you were one of the biggest artists in the world, right in the centre of that media bubble, could you have ever been in trouble of going down a similar path?
No I don't think I was. I think I started later and when things got difficult I've been able to call my mates up and say "I've had a difficult day and someone was horrible about me in an article they wrote that day," and they would say well so and so's just had their legs blown off so it puts life into perspective. Some of my friends and my family are still serving in the army and that definitely has made me realise that the real 'celebrities' of the world are not musicians and actors but doctors who save a life or nurses or teachers who educate and aid workers who re build countries.
You've said with this album that it's "about looking in the mirror and seeing the boy you were, the man you are – and learning to be comfortable with that, flaws and all," what inspired to make such a reflective album at this stage in your life?
I think music is in my blood and to have those experiences of writing those previous albums and not necessarily giving much of myself, I didn't want to, I genuinely didn't want to after that first album and what it did, then who wants to expose themselves again? Who wants to put themselves in a position of being judged so highly? But I think in many ways that's my job.
Once upon as an army officer I would go ahead of my superiors and I would be their eyes and their ears and I would absorb the world, I was aware and in singer-song writer terms I was 'sensitive', sensitive of my surrounding and the enemies intentions and I would go back to my officers and I would tell them when dangers are ahead of them. Maybe as a musician I feel I do the same thing, the more aware and sensitive I am to my surroundings and I make up songs, get up on stage and I sing them. There's no point in me lying, there's no point in me having some shell or bravado.
My job is to put myself out on the line in an emotional way. We have this strange relationship where you have one man and his guitar and it doesn't seem very macho kind of thing. But I feel a song with emotion otherwise it's like a painting. If a painting didn't have any emotion in it, it would just be wallpaper. The whole notion of art is to make you feel something and for all the critique you may get it takes a certain person to say I'm at ease with myself, I'm at ease to be able to stand on a stage by myself and not tell people how cool I might be but instead say these are the things I'm afraid of.
These are the insecurities of life, these are the things we have gone through in the past and the fears of what might be in the future but also the hopes as well because I know that's what connects people because s**tloads of people turn up to my concerts and connect with it.
This album you've worked with Tom Rothrock who you previously collaborated with on 'Back To Bedlam' are you hoping to match the same success with this record?
I don't think that will happen. It doesn't have 'You're Beautiful' on it and 'Bonfire Heart' is doing a thing that has been totally unexpected to me. But no I don't think that would happen again. I don't really need it to either, I think it will do it's own thing, whatever will be will be. From a musical point of view, they're the strongest songs I've ever written and on an emotional level I've laid myself out on the line in doing so and what you're hearing in this album in many ways I was just in the studio with a microphone and I said to Tom "I'm struggling a little bit because the audience is out there and I can't connect with them."
It's easy in a live show because I can look you in the eye and I can see you but when you're not there it's really hard and he said you need to stop doing that. These are personal song, not about the audience, you can't second guess them and if you're having that difficulty then why don't you do something simple which is just sing to me?"
So just through the glass of the recording booth I sang directly to my producer, my friend, who'd taken me on this journey some ten years ago. So what you're hearing is a direct conversation of these songs, sung directly to one, so that guy in the control booth became more like a mirror. All I could see was my own reflection and when you're confronted with yourself you can't lie. So sometimes you're hearing the madness of someone talking to themselves.
Would you say this is perhaps a follow up to 'Back To Bedlam?
I think exactly that! I made this indie album with an indie prod.ucer and an indie label and then on it, it had 'You're Beautiful' which chucked it out into the mainstream. When a song's known in that way, people can look down on that in many ways. So I went on this incredible journey of three world tours and two albums and subsequent albums and if that hadn't all happened and it had just been me and Tom we would have got in the studio and we would have recorded 'Moon Landing'.
You said this is the album you would have made if 'Back To Bedlam' hadn't sold millions – is that indicating you didn't necessarily make the music you wanted to after your first album took off so massively?
'Back To Bedlam' launched you as the biggest artist on the world for a while, you won countless awards, the album is the second or third biggest selling album in the UK of the century still – what was the craziest moment for you during that time?
The thing I never expected to play along the way was to perform at Glastonbury, played there three times, twice on The Pyramid Stage and those are things I never expected in my life. You've received a lot of stick in the press but you always seem to brush it off really well – do you still get offended by what people think of you?
I think with great commercial success, it's going to happen and in many ways that's just music. When you're very visible then you're going to get a more negative streak along it but you have to understand that those negative things only come in because of the positives. Haters always shout the loudest.
Prince Harry brought his girlfriend Cressida Bonas to your gig last week – did you know they were going to be there?
I did, yeah. I know him through my army days when he was in the same regiment as me.
Did you get a chance to speak to them at all?
Yeah for me, if I take anything from that, I enjoy the fact that it was a pretty diverse crowd at one of my concerts.
Mumford And Sons recently blasted UK snobiness saying they get picked on for being posh so they prefer playing in other countries where they're classless – being dubbed the poshest man in pop would you agree with that?
I actually put this accent on, I'm from Yorkshire because I thought posh was the new black.
James' new single 'Bonfire Heart' is out now while the album 'Moon Landing' is out on October 21.

That's it! Your notebooks are due in to me by 3:00 p.m. on August 21, and your blog participation is ongoing until midnight of the same day. I will not accept notebooks after 3:00 p.m. on August 21 unless you have a legitimate reason and you have cleared a new deadline with me in advance.
Students who do not complete the summer homework are transferred to College Prep Junior English during the week of August 25. If, during the summer, you realize that you would prefer to be in College Prep English, simply send me an email and I will see to it that you are transferred.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND: If your summer homework does not demonstrate the appropriate level of thought, care, or effort for successful completion of an AP class, or if it is incomplete, I reserve the right to transfer you out of the AP class, depending on available seats.
The writer's notebook is an important part of our year together; it is created during the summer.
Three subject,college ruled, spiral bound, and sturdy; buy a high quality notebook, as it must withstand a year of heavy use. Don't buy a gigantic five-subject one, since you'll be carrying it to class every day next year, or I will be carrying it home in a big bag to read/grade. Make sure the pages don't fall out easily. Make sure the wire spiral won't smash flat and stab me. If your notebook makes me bleed, we will have words.
If decorating notebooks to personalize them makes you happy, please feel free to decorate your notebook. It is not required; however, if you do decorate, I must insist that you avoid feathers and glitter and those cushy 3D stickers.
Please write in dark ink (blue or black), and write on both sides of the page. Do not use an ink pen that "bleeds through." Sharpies, bad. Ballpoint ink, good.
Word-processed work will not be accepted.
ALL SUMMER HOMEWORK goes into Section 1.
Part II: Read three books. Write.
For AP English this summer, you'll read two nonfiction texts, and one novel — (a total of three books, for those of you who are challenged by narrative math). I recommend that you read the two nonfiction texts first, and save Brave New World for dessert. It's the weirdest.
[INSERT FLETCHER LECTURE HERE]: Nonfiction texts require a different style of reading than what you may be used to when reading narrative fiction. In nonfiction, you must slow down, annotate, and attend to HOW ideas and arguments develop over time, and build upon one another. You must read these books — actually, all texts that you hope to understand well — actively. That is, you should sit up in a chair, and turn off your phone and your MP3 player, and avoid your computer or any device that dings, beeps, buzzes, trills, or sings when an incoming message arrives. And read with a pencil in your hand. Make notes. Track your thinking. Notice where you get lost. Notice where you lose focus. It happens to everyone. The difference between successful readers and unsuccessful readers is simple: successful readers track their own comprehension and thinking, go back when they get lost, and stick with it. They are actively thinking as they read, not merely passing their eyes over words. If you cannot think and engage your own mind as you read, your intellectual growth will be severely hampered.
Postman, Neil. Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. New York: Penguin (USA), 1985. Print.
This book has legs. (That means it continues to be of interest.) Published in 1985 (10 years before the internet browser was widely available), it surveys and analyzes the effects of television on various forms of public discourse: news, religion, political discussion and campaigning, and education. Postman notes that television's contribution to educational philosophy is the idea that teaching and entertainment are inseparable — an idea he finds lethal to students' ability to develop critical thinking.
When reading this book, I want you to slow down, and develop the patience it requires to read, absorb, and assimilate a new idea. Postman writes very clearly; however, his ideas are dense and may be unfamiliar. You cannot whip through this book. You are going to have to read slowly, stop, reflect, go back, re-read. This kind of close, reflective reading is essential for success in AP Language and in college.
In your notebooks, I want you to write three sentences for each chapter (there are eleven) that encapsulate Postman's main point for that chapter. What is his thesis? What kind of evidence does he use to support his claim? In other words, you need to practice writing ACADEMIC SUMMARY. Writing academic summary is a skill to develop and practice — focus on big ideas, main points, important cause and effect relationships; write in clean, clear, well-constructed sentences. No fluffy stuff. No "Basically, what Postman is trying to say," introductions. Just get to it.
Thompson, Clive. Smarter than You Think: How Technology Is Changing Our Minds for the Better. New York: Penguin (USA), 2013. Print.
If you are burning up to read the other book — the one not assigned to you — email me and convince me to let you switch. My suggestion to you will probably be to just read both. Why not? Go nuts.
In your notebook, please go through the following procedure, outlining each part so I can follow your reading process. Put together this section of your notebook carefully; following this process will assist you in navigating and following a lengthy complex text, and will enable me to evaluate your work.
1) Look at the cover, title, author's notes, blurbs and reviews – anything you can learn about the book before reading. Look up the author online. There are interviews and reviews of both books; and plenty of resources online to help you get a feel for these books.
2) Is there a Foreward, a Prelude, an Introduction? Is there an Epilogue? An Afterword? Notes? Glossaries? Should you read these? If so, when?
3) Study the structure of the book. How is it organized? How long are the chapters?
You can only do Prereading 1-3 once. It doesn't make sense to repeatedly go through 1-3, whereas I want you to do 4 & 5 for every chapter.
4) Before reading a chapter, flip through the chapter and skim the content. Look for key words that jump out at you. What is the typography like? Examine the surface features of the text, including subheads, graphs, illustrations.
5) Set up a system for keeping track of unfamiliar vocabulary. I like to use a post-it note when I'm reading a paper copy; I highlight unfamiliar words when I'm using my Nook.
1) As you read each chapter, write down 2-3 questions that you'd like an answer to, or questions that you'd like to discuss with someone else later.
2) Write down 2-3 unfamiliar vocabulary words.
a) It is beautiful, or true, or false, or confusing, or depressing.
b) The sentence structure is remarkable (worth talking about).
c) The word choices are surprising or fresh.
1) Write a brief summary of the chapter; pretend you are describing the main idea of the chapter to someone who has never read this text before. Your summary can be no more than five clean, clear American sentences.
2) Write a Tweet (140 characters) response to the chapter; say something short to a vast invisible audience that captures the gist of the chapter.
3) Look back at your questions from pre-reading. Answer or revise one of your own questions.
Huxley, Aldous. Brave New World. New York, NY: Harper & Row, 1998, ©1932.
Consistently listed as one of the top ten novels of the 20th century, Brave New World is a science fiction classic; like most science fiction, it creates a world that challenges us to reconsider our own world anew.
KIDS: I RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THE WHOLE BOOK BEFORE YOU BEGIN WRITING.
You must write, in your notebook and in longhand (cursive or print), seven responses of no fewer than 400 words each. Please use the numbered prompts below.
NOTE: An effective critical response generally has a few key features: rigorous attention to the text, an interpretation of the work, and a convincing argument for that interpretation. Writers argue for their interpretation not so much to convince readers to adopt it, but rather to convince them that the idea is reasonable and based on imaginative, thoughtful analysis of the work. They must demonstrate to reader how they "read" the work, pointing out specific details and explaining what they think these details mean. Feel free to apply the ideas of Huxley's invented world to the one you know today.
Discuss the World State's conditioning of Delta babies to be afraid of books and roses. What do you make of this?
What is the role of consumption in the World State?
What is taught in Elementary Class Consciousness? Do we have a similar course in our education system?
What is the role of women in the World State?
After 9 chapters of careful set up, this is the section where Huxley explores some of his biggest themes.
"The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray. It is better that one should suffer than that many should be corrupted. Consider the matter dispassionately, Mr. Foster, and you will see that no offense is so heinous as unorthodoxy of behavior. Murder kills only one individual — and after all, what is an individual?" With a sweeping gesture he indicated the rows of microscopes, the test tubes, the incubators. "We can make a new one with the greatest of ease — as many as we like. Unorthodoxy threatens more that life of a mere individual; it strikes at Society itself" (148).
Consider what the Director means by "unorthodoxy." Is this true? Do you agree? Is Bernard guilty of unorthodox behavior? Is Bernard an enemy of the World State? Is society more important than the individual? As you explain your position, be sure to cite evidence for your reasoning from the text, or from your observations of contemporary life.
Mond says that sacrificing real feelings and emotional attachments is the price the society has to pay for stability. Considering our volatile and violent world, do you agree that this may be a price worth paying? As you explain your position, be sure to cite evidence for your reasoning from the text, or from your observations of contemporary life.
You will become a blogger this summer. Writing for an authentic audience with expectations is excellent practice for writers and thinkers. You must be clear; you must discuss things that merit discussion; you must make sense. If you cannot write clearly, no one will really be able to respond to you. When you cannot make yourself understood, you are effectively silenced, no longer a part of the ongoing conversation and exchange in the world of ideas.
You will need to create a Google account. It's easy and free. I suggest that you create an email address that is simple and professional; standard on most college campuses and in corporate settings is your first initial, followed by your last name: You must sign each post with your real name. I cannot grade or respond to crzysrferchick88, flatworlder3876 or any such moniker.
Absolutely, positively no flaming. You may question one another, ask for clarification, admit that you don't understand what somebody is talking about, add a point that you believe somebody has missed, but you mustNOT attack people. Challenge ideas, ask for clarity, but do not bash one another. If I have to censor you for this, expect one warning; the second time, your access to the blog will be blocked and I'll simply enter a zero for this part of the assignment.
Please do not waste our time or bandwidth with "Me too!" and "I agree with you!" responses. Such posts are ANNOYING. If you agree or disagree, EXPLAIN yourself.
You must write four posts — that is, you have to originate four conversations. When you post, refer directly to what you are reading and the question you want to raise. Because our book paginations may be different, cite the chapter and whether the passage you are looking at is at the beginning, middle or end of the chapter. Give us enough information so we can orient ourselves and figure out what you are looking at. Use your questions from Postman, or use a passage in Huxley. (Believe me, once you start paying attention, modern media provides you with plenty to critique and think about. After you have written your thread, but before you post, write a terse, descriptive subject line.
These conversation starters should be at minimum 150 words long. Anything shorter will not be effective. For example, these two paragraphs explaining that you must start four threads are 199 words long.
You must respond to other writers at least eight times. You may also respond to a response. I expect some conversations will become quite lengthy. Your responses should also be complete thoughts, fully explained. I don't want to get all nit-picky on word counts; just don't go overboard (rambling is never a good idea), and make sure you say enough to make a point.
These recommendations are on the low side. You can definitely participate more than this. I'd like to see you involved over a course of several weeks; all twelve responses posted in any one week subverts the spirit of open discussion, so will receive half credit – the grade earned x 50%. I've had people post everything in one day. That is not blogging; that is procrastinating and cramming. Anything posted after midnight on Thursday, August 21 will not be considered for summer homework credit.
So, take some well-deserved time off, but try and get into it by July, and use all the time we have. We have 10 weeks; don't jam the work into one week. Good writing comes from a thoughtful place; poor writing is almost always superficial because it is rushed.
Let's see a lively exchange of ideas! If you are confused, go to your classmates for help. If you see something on television or in the newspaper that relates to what we are working on, share it. And watch for my posts — when I see something that I want to share with you, I go to the blog with it.
The only way to post is to email me first so that I can add you to the list of participants. This is a "semi-closed" blog; anyone can read (invite your grandma!), but only invited guests can post.
I'm going to teach you to be a mature and disciplined reader.
I only accept notebooks written in longhand, and in black or blue ink only.
Word processed work is never accepted for summer homework.
If you finish the blog requirements early, be sure to check in from time to time, because I write to the blog all summer long and will explain, introduce, and discuss ideas with you.
I answer all email quickly, and you can keep track of me by reading the blog; if I leave the blog for a brief vacation, I will let you know when I will be back.
I expect all of your email to me to feature correctly-written English sentences and excellent etiquette. Email is no joke. People lose their jobs because their emails are tone deaf or rude.
Feel free to email me with questions or problems; that's what I'm here for. I honestly don't mind; however, I may redirect many of your questions back to the blog. Meanwhile, have a thought provoking summer full of family, friends and extra sleep, and I'll see you in September, ready to go.

University of California, Los Angeles: UCLA scholars aim to help shape President Biden's Justice40 Initiative
By iednewsdesk	 On Dec 30, 2021
One week after his inauguration, President Joe Biden ordered federal agencies to direct 40% of the government's investments in climate and clean infrastructure to benefit people in disadvantaged communities. According to his executive order, the Justice40 Initiative is intended to "address the disproportionate health, environmental, economic and climate impacts on disadvantaged communities."
Implementing the directive will not be simple, but a new report by scholars from the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation, advised by environmental justice leaders, provides a framework that federal officials could use to maximize Justice40's impact.
"One initiative alone can't erase systemic racial and environmental injustices, but setting a strong, equity-centered framework for Justice40 is a first step in the right direction," said Colleen Callahan, deputy director of the Luskin Center and a co-author of the report.
The report analyzes state-level programs seeking to address environmental justice through investments in clean energy and climate change action — already underway in some cases, and in planning stages in others — and identifies shortcomings, ongoing challenges and successes that could help inform the implementation of Biden's plan.
The authors set forth three primary areas of emphasis for the initiative:
Resources. Focus investments on the people who need it most. Provide funding to under-resourced communities for physical infrastructure projects, like clean water systems, as well as technical support to help local officials and community organizations apply for and manage funds they might receive through Justice40. The authors also recommend that the initiative's 40% funding goal should be considered the minimum percentage of investments in disadvantaged communities, and that the figure should represent direct investments — rather than counting trickle-down benefits — for those communities.
Empowerment. The initiative should pursue a ground-up approach by enabling those who live in under-resourced communities to help set policy and determine what local investments are made.
Accountability. The initiative must include guardrails to ensure that all government agencies and contractors involved further the goals of environmental, racial, economic and health justice. The scholars write that Justice40 could be a catalyst for the federal government to help institutionalize equity including by pushing back on entrenched practices and rules that uphold inequities in government.
The authors list five types of disparities that Justice40 should seek to address: pollution burdens, climate risk, communities' limited ability to apply for and manage federal funding, effects on labor and jobs, and environmental policy costs. They also identify numerous states that have plans or already begun taking action to address those concerns, which disproportionately affect communities of color and low-income households:
New York is planning to address those communities' elevated exposure to pollution and its related effects on their health.
Virginia is planning to address the uneven effects of storms, rising sea levels and other effects of climate change.
California is investing in helping local officials and community groups apply for funding for under-resourced communities.
Illinois and Maryland are planning to help provide job training for workers transitioning into clean energy jobs and financial support for those whose careers are being affected by the loss of jobs in the fossil fuel industry.
The state of Washington is allocating funds to increase access to clean technology and lowering utility costs for low-income households.
The report explains that initiatives like those demonstrate that residents, workers and businesses can benefit from clean energy and climate investments across a range of sectors — including agriculture, health, housing, energy, transportation and water infrastructure.
"A theme across the states we studied is a history of grassroots strategy and organizing by communities of color," said Silvia González, a co-author of the report and the director of research at the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Initiative. "In states such as California, New York and Illinois, those communities have helped shape investment plans and programs to be more equitable."
The researchers specifically examine California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that has directed billions of dollars to disadvantaged communities.

Have ever try focus your mind on now without thinking about the past or the future.I tryed that today on my mind kept trying to go what happen in the past or what I am going to do in the future.
When I stop and just focus on God's love being right now it brings peace and joy to my heart and mind threw out the day and you I can stop and do this a lot of times threw out the day.
What a blessing the Father gives us to have fellowship with Him always and nothing that can stop but the mind of self and the Christ in us is greater then self.
This spoke to my heart. ( It also confirms something Jim said to me about God's love in a pm a few weeks ago.) It was the beginning for me of once again being aware His personal concern and love toward me, and I'm becoming aware again of the expanse of His grace. I guess it could be called a 'rest', or a 'healing' journey again.
I don't know that my perceptions or what I know in my Spirit have changed or been challenged, but in my humanness, He knows that I am in need of becoming aware of how personal His love is, and how ' healing' that will be.
of life that might otherwise lead us to think we are separated from Christs Love.
would be no more. Yet is that the end of the story??
sabathani'? You know, 'Why have You forsaken Me'?
passing, that can be a very sad thing. Really can.
Thanks Adam! Yes, encouraging! Your insight is UNIQUE, and I'm sure more than I will be encouraged by it!
very encouraging yous guyz! thank you so much!!
