Alternative to Mentone Dam Aimed at Objections to River Flood Control Work
By KRISTINA LINDGREN
Times Staff Writer
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Monday released an alternative plan for part of the Santa Ana River flood control project that would shave more than $200 million off the cost of the massive project and resolve local objections to the proposed Mentone Dam that have stymied its approval.
The draft study by the corps' Los Angeles district recommends substituting a dam about four miles upstream on the Upper Santa Ana River for the Mentone Dam site in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. The proposed Upper Santa Ana River Dam, at $304 million, would protect Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties from devastating floods, while eliminating environmental and aesthetic objections to the $530-million Mentone Dam that threatened the entire project.
If approved, the proposal could result in a $50-million to $70-million savings to Orange County, which would bear 95% of the project's local share of costs, said Jim McConnell, the county's lobbyist in Washington.
"This preserves the coalition of the three counties that we've built in support of the project and which was threatened by the Mentone Dam controversy," McConnell said Monday.
Same Protection Level
"It means we still get virtually the same level of (flood) protection that would have been afforded by Mentone--and we get it at a nice cost savings. When you are talking about local government sharing 25% to 35% of the costs . . . that's very significant to Orange County."
Riverside and San Bernardino area congressmen withheld comment pending staff review of the proposal. But Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-San Bernardino) said Monday he was pleased to hear the plan was being favorably received by the most ardent opponents of the Mentone Dam proposal.
San Bernardino County Supervisor Barbara Riordan said the corps' draft study "really has resolved those problems we had been so worried about previously . . . I think it will go a long way (toward) getting final authorization of the project."
Residents of communities surrounding the proposed Mentone Dam site had opposed the dam because it would block water from filtering into underground water basins and because it is close to the San Andreas Fault. In addition, it would be a concrete barrier that would be dry most of the year and provide no recreational advantage to offset its unsightliness, Riordan said.
The new dam would be built on bedrock across the narrower Government Canyon channel. The 550-foot rock- and earth-filled dam would hold up to 160,000 acre-feet of water and, when full, would create a three-mile reservoir.
Riordan said local officials in Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties have reacted favorably to the new proposal.
Concerns May Be Met
"Those agencies and boards of supervisors that had originally opposed the Mentone Dam site, located between Redlands and East Highland, have not only changed their position but changed it to one of very strong support for the alternative site," Riordan said.
An aide to Rep. George E. Brown (D-Riverside) said a perusal of the draft study and reaction of local officials suggests that most of the congressman's concerns may be met by the plan.
Brown had sought and won elimination of $4 million in funding for project engineering studies in a House appropriations bill, partly out of fear that the entire $1.3-billion project would be authorized without a solution to the Mentone Dam question. However, he was reportedly also trying to get back at Orange County GOP congressman William E. Dannemeyer of Fullerton for actively campaigning for Brown's opponent in the 1984 election.
Rep. Vic Fazio (D-Sacramento), who sits on the House Appropriations Committee, said Monday that he and Brown will agree to restore the $4 million for continuing engineering studies when the Senate and House confer next week to resolve differences in the two versions of the appropriations bill.
Rep. Lewis also indicated that if the new alternative to Mentone Dam is accepted, it could pave the way for the long-awaited authorization of the project late this year or early in 1986.

Home / cameras / features / fujifilm / Meet Fujinon XF8-16 f/2.8 R LM WR Lens - Fujifilm's ultra-wide zoom!
Fujifilm's X-series lens lines up keeps growing every year with two new lenses coming in late 2018. One of them is the XF8-16 f/2.8 R LM WR ultra-wide zoom!
With this release, Fujifilm has completed what photographers call the lens trinity that is usually composed of three lenses that accomplishes as much range as possible. Usually these three lenses are composed of a wide, a standard and a telephoto (long) lenses.
Previously, Fujifilm only had the standard zoom XF 16-55 f/2.8 and the telephoto zoom XF 50-140 f/2.8. Now the new ultra wide XF8-16 completes the Red Badge f/2.8 trinity.
R means it has an aperture ring. LM means that it uses frictionless, non-contact and silent Linear motors for autofocus. WR means it is engineered and designed to be weather resistant.
We received the copy of the lens only without the box. It came with the top and bottom lens caps.
It goes from f/2.8 to f/22!
The lens is mostly black in color with white and red texts engraved in different areas. The exterior is mostly made of metal except for the lens hood and lens element.
Weather resistant and made in Japan!
The front glass element bulges out of the lens when fully extended which is why there are no filter threads for this lens.
If you plan on using a filters or filter holders, you may need an adapter.
The mount has a weather resistant gasket!
The mount is metal with weather resistant gaskets to keep water out when attached to a weather resistant camera body. Supposedly, it can operate down to -10 degrees Celsius temperatures.
The focus ring on our unit however barely had any resistance. We wished it offered a little more dampening to avoid sudden change of focus plane. Though at 8mm, almost everything is in focus anyway.
The field of view difference is just massive! photographers who want the widest possible filed of view will be happy that they can fit so much more!
Click on this Flickr link here to see more images with this lens.
The main difference is that at F2.8 and F8.0 is that the XF 16 F1.4 renders a warmer image with better microcontrast (tonality) compared to the XF 8-16 F2.8 at 16mm.
Designing and manufacturing a rectilinear (no distortion) ultra-wide lens is an incredible feat of engineering. This is made even harder by making it into a zoom with a constant maximum aperture as wide as f/2.8.
This makes this lens incredibly versatile in the field of landscape, architecture, interiors, real-estate and the like. Not to mention the exceptional build quality and weather resistance. This resulted in a price tag higher than most people could afford but when compared to Full Frame equivalents like the Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8, it is priced similarly. Yet, the XF8-16 f/2.8 is 185 grams lighter.
This is a magnificent lens that produces unique but stunning results that is visible in its color, sharpness, contrast and minimal distortion. But, it isn't for everyone.
The sharpness is consistent with minimal softening at the edges at the wider apertures but performs vastly better than the XF 10-24 f/4.


Think Your Election Data is Safe?
The Election Commission of India recently declined Google's offer for free online voter registration, search and more. Why? A panel of cybersecurity experts were concerned about security implications and providing Google with access to a treasure trove of data on Indian citizens.
So what do Google and voters in India have to do with your election and members? Two words: Data and security.
How will you secure our member database?
Once member data is out of your hands, what happens to it? First, find out about the physical location of where your data will be stored and how that location is protected. Don't settle for anything less than limited access by credentialed experts, hard pass code policies, firewalls, active monitoring processes and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. Get a demonstration of how your database will be protected against hackers or intrusions, breaches of confidentiality and loss. And make sure the protection process is documented for full tracing history and accountability.
How will you secure and verify the accuracy of our physical documents?
Checks and balances – these guarantee the accuracy and integrity of your final and certified election results. Make sure you're comfortable with procedures, accountability and chain-of-custody policies that provide accurate results, but are also fully defensible in the event there are questions after your election. Locked vaults for document storage, check-ins and daily delivered counts should be offered by credentialed staff with limited access.
How will your digital security infrastructure protect us?
Don't wait until election results are delivered to find out what happens to your data. Ensure your partner can trace all paths your data will take. Ask who has access to it, what can be done to protect your documents every step of the way and where the documents will reside. The utilization of an enterprise data center provides the backup and redundancy necessary to ensure maximum uptime of any online election components you may have and the safety of your election data.
We like to point out the importance of election data security not only because it should be a vital part of every election process, but also because it is a competitive advantage for our organization. Contact us any time with questions about how to keep your election data secure – our dedicated security staff is happy to help.

Maccabi claims another win in Berlin
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv continued to edge closer to the playoff zone by running past ALBA Berlin 73-85 in the German capital. Tyler Dorsey tallied 25 points for Maccabi, which has now won five of its last seven games in improving its record to 8-10 mark. Angelo Caloiaro collected 16 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals for an index rating of 26 while Dragan Bender chipped in 13 points for the winners. ALBA has lost four of its last five games to fall to 7-11. Simone Fontecchio led the way with 15 points while Jayson Granger scored 13 points and tied his career-high with 11 assists. Johannes Thiemann added 11 points and Ben Lammers had 10 in defeat.

Thiemann's layup started the scoring for the hosts with Elijah Bryant answering with a driving layup. After two Ante Zizic scores, Caloiaro's free throws gave Maccabi its first lead, 7-8. Granger and Malte Delow both hit from deep in an 8-0 spurt to pull ahead 15-10. But Scottie Wilbekin, Dorsey, Bender and Chris Jones all nailed three-pointers in the final 3 minutes in a 2-14 run to give Maccabi a 17-24 lead after the first quarter. Jones added two baskets in a 0-10 start to the second quarter for a 17-34 lead before Louis Olinde's layup finally ended the ALBA drought. Caloiaro added two more scores as the advantage grew to 19-40. Fontecchio responded with ALBA's final 9 points to get the home side within 28-43 at the break.
Omri Casspi started the second half with a three-pointer for Maccabi to push the lead to 28-46, but Granger and Lammers took over with the former feeding three of Lammers' four baskets and then assisting on Thiemann's three-pointer in ALBA's 11-2 run to get within 39-48. But Bender and Dorsey knocked down triples and the cushion was back to 17. Maodo Lo scored twice and Granger connected at the buzzer for ALBA, which trailed 49-63 after 30 minutes. Granger knocked down a three-pointer to bring ALBA within 54-65 early in the final frame only to see Dorsey complete a four-point play and then add a three-pointer for a 54-72 lead. Fontecchio answered with an and-one to help trim the gap to 13 points, but Bryant punched back with a three-point play of his own to go ahead 59-75. Dorsey knocked down another triple for a 64-80 lead. Bender added 3 free throws for the winners to give him at least 11 points in three of his last five games.

Maccabi continues dominance over Germans
Maccabi coming to the German capital this century has meant a victory as the Israeli champion improved to 13-1 against ALBA since 2000, including a 7-0 record in Berlin. Maccabi has won the last four games and ALBA's only win came in the 2014-15 Top 16 in Israel.
Pivotal performer
Tyler Dorsey came off the Maccabi bench and hit 8 of 10 field-goal attempts, including 5 of 7 from long range to go with 4 of 6 free throws for 25 points - 1 off his career-high. He added 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 fouls drawn for a career-best 27 index rating.
ALBA connected on just 45.5% of its two-pointers and 28.6% of its three-pointers while Maccabi had 60.0% and 45.8%, respectively. ALBA also only had 10 players as the team remains short-handed, missing injured leaders Luke Sikma, Niels Giffey, Peyton Siva and Marcus Eriksson as well as Coach Aito Garcia Reneses, who has now missed ALBA's last three games after testing positive for COVID-19.
After three straight home games, ALBA will head onto the road and take on Anadolu Efes Istanbul on Tuesday, January 12 in Round 19 action. Maccabi heads back home and will host Olympiacos Piraeus the same evening.

SFAIROPOULOS, IOANNIS
"We played good defense. With good defense, we stopped their speed of execution. We had good defensive transition and didn't allow them to run. On the other side, offensively, whenever we could run, we ran. Whenever we didn't have something, we stopped and got organized. That is how we kept the rhythm and that was the most important thing. All of the players were really concentrated. All of the players followed our plan. I'm very happy with how our players performed."
GONZALEZ, ISRAEL
ALBA Berlin Assistant Coach
"Congratulations to Maccabi. They played a very good game. They scored difficult baskets and we had problems stopping them in one-on-one situations. Also they shot a very good percentage on three-pointers. Our team made a big effort and tried until the end. All players fought as much as they could. I remember, for example, Johannes Thiemann diving to the floor although he couldn't reach the ball anymore. That was the attitude we showed again tonight."
GRANGER, JAYSON
"We missed a little bit of everything today. We had the same legs we had against Baskonia. We play with a very short rotation, but we can't use that as an excuse. We just have to try to keep on competing and to keep getting better every day. And of course, we hope to get our injured guys back as soon as possible. But we will fight in every game, just like we did the whole season."
DORSEY, TYLER
"Defensively we were locked in. We stuck to our tactics. Every game is a must-win for us. And that's the mindset we have to have going into every game because we're trying to climb back up into the playoffs. You hit a couple of shots and the basket gets bigger and bigger, but I give a lot of credit to my teammates for finding me off screens, finding me in catch-and-shoot spots where I just have to step into them. It's like taking those practice shots. After a while when you get a rhythm, it feels good."
CALOIARO, ANGELO
"It was very important to start off the second half in the right direction. We're looking at each game one by one. They're all important. We gotta get back into the top eight. Communication is key, it's the staple in a lot of defenses: communicating, talking. We did some switching today, so we needed it a little bit more than normal."

Crusader Kings 3's next update adds an option for same-sex marriages
One of Crusader Kings III's most-requested features will be arriving with update 1.5, alongside the Royal Court DLC. Same-sex marriages, which up till now have only been possible by using mods, will be added via a new custom rule in the grand strategy game's menu. Due to how Crusader Kings III's game logic works, and all the rules in place about feudal marriage and succession, this wound up being a complicated addition to the game, but it's finally arriving with the next free update.
Currently, you have the option at the outset of a Crusader Kings III campaign to set custom rules for same-sex relations: by default, each culture has a specific view on same-sex relationships – usually, a negative one. However, you can change things so that all faiths in the game accept same-sex relations, which allows you to pursue those throughout the campaign. However, you currently need mods to make these relationships official.
With update 1.5, a new game rule can be adjusted so that same-sex marriages are possible without any mods.
The latest dev diary also provides some new details on the new modding options and tools that will be coming in update 1.5, which include an in-game courtroom scene editor for customising your very own throne room tableaus. If you're so inclined, you'll be able to fuss with character's positioning in the court by adjusting the rules governing who stands where – very important stuff in feudal life, to be sure.
The Crusader Kings III Royal Court DLC release date is just around the corner – you'll be able to take to your throne on February 8.

Merida,
By law, all physicians in Yucatán must have a credit card terminal in their office
By Yucatan Times on January 18, 2018
Photo: Google
MÉRIDA, Yucatán.- By resolution of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), from now on, doctors, dentists, psychologists and nutritionists in Mérida, must have a credit/debit card payment terminal in their offices.
Although since 2014 the deduction of medical expenses that were paid via bank transfer, check, credit or debit card was established, according to estimates of the College of Physicians of Yucatán, in the state only three out of ten doctors have terminal devices in their offices.
The resolution of the Supreme Court of Justice issued last January 10 and supported by three lawsuits, is that patients can pay for medical expenses through transfers or checks, in order to be able to deduct payments for health services.
By majority vote, the SCJN determined that the requirement established in article 151, section I, of the Income Tax Law is constitutional and therefore its compliance is mandatory.
The current law during the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 facilitated the deduction of payments for medical, dental and hospital expenses, and in 2017 the Mexican Supreme Court added the benefit of deduction in psychology and nutrition consultations, as long as these are provided by certified professionals.
The SCJN called on health professionals to formalize this service in their offices and meet their tax obligations.
According to a study by the Mexican Association for the Study and Treatment of Pain, nationally only 20 percent of private physicians have a credit card terminal.
Several companies in Mexico are dedicated to the installation of smart-phone terminals that are easy to use and offer daily summaries and sales reports. These devices work with an application for iOS and/or Android.

Are you heading out to the campground this summer with a toddler in tow? Below you'll find our absolute best tips for camping with toddlers.
For some of you super moms out there these tips might not be new. But over the years each one of the tips below has brought a greater sense of security and made camping with toddlers a little bit less overwhelming for us.
This one is so simple and easy, I don't know why everyone doesn't do this! Sure, you don't expect your toddler to wander away, but if they do, your site number is written right there on their hand. Keep a permanent marker in your camping tub for this reason.
This tip is good for older kids too. Sometimes campsites are confusing and if they go off exploring and need to ask for directions, they'll always know the site number where they're staying.
You could get fancy and use clear nail polish over the writing to ensure it stays on or make special ID bracelets, but really, using a marker will be sufficient. Just re-write it as the marker fades over the duration of the trip.
One trick to keeping toddlers from wandering away is to have interesting and exciting things for them to explore close by. If you're not camping with older kids, this might not be so much of a concern. However, if your toddler is watching the other kids leave the site and explore, they'll want to follow.
Having a special play game or toy at the campsite might help distract your toddler when the older kids go off to play. You might want to pick up one of these light-weight pop-up play houses as a special camping surprise. A few other easy diversions to bring along are a bucket and shovel, a giant ball, some toy trucks, or sidewalk chalk.
Just a note here: It has come to my attention that many tenters really hate to see kids playing with bubbles at a campground because apparently the bubble solution can lessen the waterproof coating on the tents.
Some families use screen houses with a blanket and toys inside as a means to keep the toddlers from wandering too far. It will also keep them protected from the bugs, sun, and the campfire if needed.
Yes, this tip may be a bit noisy, but it is just genius! As long as your little one hasn't pulled the bell off, or stopped moving, you'll know where they are around the campsite.
If you're camping with only your toddler, locating your child should not be too challenging. However, if your camping trips are like ours, with three families, and a gaggle of roaming kids, locating a toddler can be a bit of a test sometimes. So attach a bell and even if you can't see them you will know they're close by and when you do need to find them you'll have an advantage.
We use bear bells because they come on handy Velcro straps, make a relatively loud and clear ring, and are available for purchase everywhere around here! While the bears might be habituated to their sweet tinkling sounds, you will not be.
You could also try using squeak-making shoes as a way to keep an ear out. I hadn't realized the bonus of these squeaky shoes until we brought our 18 month old on vacation and found ourselves in large crowds all the time. But those little squeakers led us right to him every time!
You don't need to go overboard here, but it does pay to be prepared. And you can always bring more first aid supplies if being prepared is your thing!
In fact, you might want to consider putting together a small tin of a few supplies to always have on hand in your purse or bag. If you'd like to read what I carry around for regular adventures from home, you can read about carrying a well-stocked mom purse here.
This is a biggie! How will your toddler be sleeping at the campsite? … in their own sleeping bag, sharing yours, on an air mattress or cot, or using a sleeping pad? And, what will they wear? Will they be warm enough, what are the logistics of night time bathroom trips?
There's nothing worse than trying to help a potty-training toddler use a dirty, scary outhouse in the middle of a cold, dark Jasper night! Oh, wait, yes, you can make it even worse if said toddler is wearing one-piece pajamas. This means you will now need to remove their coat in order to get the jammies down, make sure the jammies don't touch anything as they hang half-worn, help your cold toddler back into their jacket, and then hoist them (and their sagging pajamas) up onto questionably clean toilet!
So, if this is a potential scenario you could see yourself in, make sure to bring two-piece pajamas! Yes, the onesies are generally cozier, cuter, and warmer, but just consider your bathroom logistics when packing.
Side note: Have you ever seen Hatley pajamas? They're super cute and they have a wide variety of outdoorsy themed sets, perfect for camping!
If you are worried about warmth and still want a two piece option, try using base layers (thermal underwear) as pajamas. Something made from merino wool will be best as it is super warm and will wick away any moisture from their skin as they sleep. Another option is to skip the sleeping bag and just have your toddler sleep in their snow suit and some blankets if it drops to freezing and your toddler is the type to kick off covers.
You might also be a family who would be interested in a sleep pod contraption for inside the tent or camper. We have used this phil & ted travel bed on many adventures. I also know of families who use and like this peapod.
The most important toddler sleep tip: Practice! Your toddler should be either very easy going or have slept in a tent, or in their travel bed at home before arriving at the campsite. Trust me… camping is super exciting for toddlers and getting them to settle down for the night could be hard!
There are a lot of variables that can make or break a camping weekend. The weather, the bugs, the stuff you forgot to pack, your kid's behavior, neighbors late night partying, and so on. The more you can control, the greater the chance of your family having a fun and safe time. I hope you find at least a few of these camping with toddler tips helpful for your next family trip.
Are you planning a camping trip soon? You might want to check out how to simplify the packing for your camping trip by bringing only the basics and using a camping checklist.
It's true that every camping even with or without children still needs you to bring your first aid kit and camping gears. Thanks for educating me about the things to do when you bring your toddlers and kids camping. Our whole family will be having camping next week, and we are now looking for first aid kits and camping gears to use. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Very informative! Introducing your toddler to nature and to the outside is incredibly fundamental to the child's development. Yet they do need to be especially looked after. Thanks for sharing! I don't have kids but if anyone does, they should definitely read this thoroughly.
These are great tips for me to take my grandchildren camping, thanks! I took my 3 children camping but you gave me some new ideas. Writing the space number on the toddler's hand is a good tip. At my age, writing the space number on my own hand is a good idea, ha!
Hi Janice, I'm so happy you found some helpful camping with toddler tips. And with the size of some campgrounds these days, we could all benefit from a quick reminder;) Happy Camping!
"There's nothing worse than trying to help a potty-training toddler use a dirty, scary outhouse in the middle of a cold, dark Jasper night! Oh, wait, yes, you can make it even worse if said toddler is wearing one-piece pajamas." – You totally crack me up!! I mean I'm only laughing cause nothing even a little bit like that has ever happened to me before, but I can imagine! I do love the bearbell tip though, I had never heard of that and definitely wouldn't have thought of it, thanks for sharing!
Hey Mallory, glad to hear you enjoyed the post… you say nothing like that has happened to you… well, it could! I totally over looked this once and actually brought very cozy one-piece pajamas for myself on a very chili October trip once. And, yes, there I was in the cold, dirty, dark outhouse trying to take my own winter jacket off, while not dropping my mittens down the toilet or let the tops touch the floor… while trying to distract my toddler from touching anything while she waited in the corner… because when you have a toddler you never get privacy in the bathroom.

Photo: Ellas DadPhoto: Ella's DadIn the climate negotiations occurring in Bonn, Germany there is an emerging debate on the form of "commitment or action" developing countries will undertake (as the Economic Times in India points out). This has been a long running debate in the international global warming negotiations, but it has gained more focus as the negotiating text (that I discussed in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) has included proposals where all countries undertake binding international actions.
As countries were doing the "first reading" — going through the text to flag areas of disagreement or where they wanted to add text — a number of developing countries raised serious concerns with these proposals for international "binding" commitments (I put "binding" in quotes as I'll discuss later how what this means in practice is complicated).
The proposals in the text are based upon the US and the Australian submissions (as I discussed in Part 2), which proposed slightly different ways to incorporate "binding" commitments.
The US proposed that all countries (including developing ones) undertake emissions reduction actions and those actions are established in an Annex to the new international agreement reached in Copenhagen. In addition, the US proposed that developing countries whose "national circumstances reflect greater responsibility or capability" would outline the date when a country would undertake an economy-wide absolute emission limit. The actions in the Annex would then become internationally binding in some manner.
Australia proposed that all countries would commit their actions to a Schedule (New Zealand is also intrigued by this approach). This schedule would contain either a single set of actions at the time they were committed with the idea that more would be added over time or, when they were entered, countries would outline a series of actions that they would take over the near- to medium-term (e.g., sectoral intensity target in the near-term phasing into a an absolute sectoral limit and then an economy-wide limit). The actions in the schedule would be internationally binding in some way. This is similar to how the World Trade Organization actions are included.
3. Subject the reported actions to international verification (e.g., third party teams review them against reported information to see if they were achieved).
So you can see why this has some developing countries ruffled. Binding commitments for developing countries has been an issue that has been pushed for a while, but has received strong resistance from the developing countries.
But do these proposals offer some promise to finally "crack this nut"? I think yes (although I'm getting mixed reactions from developing country negotiators that I'm speaking with) and here is why.
All three of the approaches don't envision international compliance penalties for not living up to the commitment. Penalties for non-compliance have been a complicated issue internationally as it often boils down to "name and shame" — that is publicly calling out the laggards and make them come into compliance because the world considers them a rogue (and most countries don't want to be rogues). With a few exceptions, this is the framework that is used in the vast majority of international agreements as most don't have strong international sanction mechanisms. See for example, the efforts to impose international sanctions on countries that don't live up to the requirements on nuclear weapons. The trade agreements are one of the rare international agreements that have a strong international compliance mechanism that is automatic — that doesn't require a group of countries to approve its use.
National sanction mechanisms are often used — where one country imposes the sanction unilaterally on the other — but these only work if either a large group of countries does the sanctions or if the country imposing the sanction has large influence in some manner over the other.
Most countries need "international recognition" for their actions. While this didn't used to be true, I believe that most countries want the world to recognize that they are taking serious steps to address global warming. With the attention on global warming and with world leaders now focused on it at almost every high-level engagement with each other, nobody wants to be the leader that says: "my country isn't doing anything to address our pollution". There are still leaders and countries like that, but they are a shrinking bunch.
And with the growing political focus in countries, the fear of some sort of ramification for not taking action lingers over many world leaders. If a country doesn't take action, what impact will that have on other issues that they want to pursue (e.g., trade)?
Financing support for developing countries will be tied to how much action is undertaken. While some developing countries are asking for incentives that are provided no matter what they do to reduce emissions, I highly doubt any country will provide incentives that aren't somehow related to the actions that are taken. "Payment for performance" — i.e., your incentive is dependent on actually meeting your stated aim — is an often discussed framework in the international negotiations these days.
And this is the framework that is included in the US climate bill that just passed out of the House Energy and Commerce committee. Countries receiving incentives have to be undertaking national actions that seek to achieve "substantial" reductions.
So it will be essential to resolve whether developing countries have to undertake "binding commitments" (as the US and Australia have proposed) in the Copenhagen agreement or whether they undertake some other form of commitment that has a strong international verification system (as in the South Korean proposal).
Whether or not the world commits to a strong set of actions to start to solve global warming in Copenhagen will somewhat depend on how those "binding" differences are resolved.
The planet (and our future) doesn't care as long as countries are taking and living up to their commitments to solve global warming.


Okay, I'm going to admit something that might cause some folk to insist that I should resign my commission as a bona fide geek– I still haven't seen Star Wars Episode VII: the Force Awakens. Now, before you start questioning my "geekhood," I'm going to make it clear that I have plans to take my family to see it this Sunday after the Christmas shindigs have all come and gone. So far though it just hasn't been possible, what with all the holiday preparations, work and my son's various athletic events. But believe me when I say it hasn't been for lack of interest.
HOLY MOTHER OF DUCKLINGS AND ALL HER WACKY NEPHEWS IN A SIXTEEN-PIECE BUCKET YOU NEED TO SEE STAR WARS!
It's like the original trilogy, but with good, deep writing.
It's Star Wars with good acting and character development.
It's Star Wars with dialogue that real people would say in real life.
It's Star Wars with relatable human emotions. There's just so many wonderful, deeply poignant and emotional moments peppered throughout. THE FEELS ARE STRONG WITH THIS ONE.
It's no spoiler to say this, but…have you ever tried to get someone to watch Firefly for the first time by saying "It's better than [popular sci-fi franchise]" half-seriously just to get their attention? I know this sounds equally hard to believe, but I'm dead serious when I say that Kylo Ren… is a more intimidating and downright terrifying villain than Darth Vader, possibly one of the baddest villains of all time.
We'll just have to accept that this is all that anyone's going to be talking about until at least January. When you see it for yourself, you won't find it in you to blame them. After seeing JJ Abrams effectively save Star Wars, the title of The Force Awakens makes sense: It hasn't just "woken up," Star Wars is truly alive in a way it never has been before, better than ever!
Like a launch in reverse, the Falcon 9 hits the spot, touching down at LZ-1 at Cape Canaveral (image courtesy of Space News).
If you think about it, though, the last sentence of Jeff's "review" could also apply to SpaceX. No, seriously. This past Monday night we might very well have witnessed the accomplishment with which Elon Musk's private rocket company effectively saved the American space industry. When the first stage of the Falcon 9 touched down like a downy feather on fire at Cape Canaveral, it didn't just "wake up" the collective consciousness of the American public to the prospect of future space travel, it made the space industry seem "truly alive" in a way we haven't felt since the very first launch of Space Shuttle Columbia.

Pair of Six-Figure Sales at Sedo Shows Bull Market Continuing For the Domain Business!
After a terrific turnaround year in 2004 there has been a great deal of anticipation about what is in store for the domain industry in 2005. So far so good! Just 18 days into the New Year we have our first reported six-figure sales; two in the same week at the same venue, Sedo.com. Their headliner was a real blockbuster, Chat.de at €360,000 (470,848). Only 2 domains in all of 2004 sold for a higher price and no German country code domain came close to that last year.
Sedo's #2 sale was nothing to sneeze at either. GED.com changed hands for $150,000. Of course GED is the widely recognized acronym for General Equivalency Diploma and is a blockbuster term in the education market. Traffic to this domain will be huge (it's Overture score with extension is 7,485). Sedo wound up claiming 6 of 11 positions on our Big Board this week (there's an extra spot due to a tie at #10). Others showed plenty of strength as well with every domain in the Top Ten cracking the 5-figure mark. In addition to the ones you will see, Sedo told us they had 3 more in that range, including a .co.uk, but could not release those due to non-disclosure agreements.
GreatDomains took the #3 position with the healthy $25,000 sale of Herbal.com. The #4 entry comes from Ebay where Spearfishing.com changed hands for $18,350. We don't see a lot of legitimate sales in this price range at Ebay but everything looks kosher with this one. Both the buyer and seller (who has been on Ebay since 1999) have perfect 100% feedback records and the WhoIs record showed the expected ownership update today (Jan. 18). Nothing at all wrong with the domain either (237 with the extension in Overture)! Sedo appears again at #5 with the $15,000 sale of PayOne.com.
#6 goes to Addidas.com, selling (for the second time) at Enom's Club Drop for $13,009. A couple of weeks back the domain was sold in a private auction for over $35,000, but after reporting that they had received the money, Enom reversed the payment and took the domain back (this after the WhoIs record had showed an ownership change). They then re-auctioned the domain in a public auction that ended this past week at the lower figure. The oddest thing about this domain is that the Adidas Corp. once went to the trouble of taking it away in a WIPO case, then let the domain drop this month!
SnapNames.com continued their resurgence by taking lucky #8 with HumanHair.com at $11,001. Let's take a look at the complete Top Ten, then we'll continue our rundown of the week's best sales:
Domain Name Journal's Top Ten
Reported Domain Sales - Mon. Jan. 10, 2005 - Sun. Jan. 16, 2005
Euro to Dollar Conversion (€ to $) is Based on Rates in Effect Tue. Jan. 18
1. Chat.de €360,000 = $470,848 Sedo
2. GED.com $150,000 Sedo
3. Herbal.com $25,000 GreatDomains
4. Spearfishing.com $18,350 Ebay
5. PayOne.com $15,000 Sedo
6. Addidas.com $13,009 Enom Club Drop
7. StockPilot.com €10,000 = $12,888 Sedo
8. HumanHair.com $11,001 SnapNames
9. BabeHunt.org €8,000 = $10,413 Sedo
tie PSO.com $10,000 Pvt Sale
tie Dedupe.com $10,000 Sedo
Sedo continued their hot streak with 3 of the final 5 chart entries. They scored with #7 StockPilot.com at €10,000 ($12,888) and a big .org, #9 Babehunt.org at €8,000 ($10,413). They also shared the #10 position with Dedupe.com matching E1 Internet's $10,000 sale of PSO.com to Webquest.com Inc. In action just off the chart, Sedo added €5,556 ($7,234) for HotelsEurope.com, $5,500 for 800Florist.com and $5,350 for FindCheapComputers.com. They also got €4,000 ($5,208) for eHealth.net and $4,000 for FreeSweepstakes.com.
SnapNames turned in a very impressive performance this week as well. UsedTractors.com plowed up $9,433 , 3Arab.com added $8,312 and OldComputers.com processed $6,700. There were many more where those came from. BikerSluts.com roared off with $5,300, NoDownloadCasino.com cashed in at $4,989 and MedicalBiller.com provided a $4,600 cure. Other goodies included DesktopDollars.com ($3,550), EuropeanFlights.com ($3,450) and LegalForms.net ($3,301). PokerParlor.com threw another $3,300 in the pot and GatewayFinancial.com added $3,254. .Org got into the act with WBA.org going for $2,700. Another nice 3-letter domain, IVA.net contributed $1,151.
At Enom's Club Drop, Cabeleas.com led the way at $5,808 with GratisSex.com close behind at $5,307. A high traffic misspell, DisneyChanell.com added $4,408. Sorry we can't provide you as much Overture data as usual. As most of you know, the Overture Suggestion Tool (useful in gauging potential traffic to a domain) has been broken for most of the past week, making any attempt to retrieve search information an exercise in frustration. No headaches at Club Drop however as the Hit Parade continued with Prescriptions4Sale.com ($3,809), DogAccessories.com ($3,309), MemoryChip.com ($3,307) and BackupDrive.com ($3,207).
Elsewhere, the UK's Simon D'Arcy picked up a nice pair of names at BuyDomains.com; MensClothes.com at $9,000 and LadiesClothes.com at $2,888. D'Arcy told us he plans to develop MensClothes.com and have it online this year. Meanwhile over at DotcomAgency.com, Ian Andrew played a $4,000 tune on BambooFlutes.com, then polished the bottom line with WoodFloorCare.com at $3,600 before sealing a deal for MetricSeal.com at $2,600.
In a deal at the DomainState.com forum, WebsiteBuild.com changed hands for $5,000 and in a private transaction Austin's Don Putnam got the same amount for NPLaw.com . Mike Gillman of GlobalBillboards.com sold DallasCondo.com to Turtle Creek/Cresta Bella Condominiums of Dallas for $2,000.
In the Pipeline: It looks like SnapNames has a head start on another good showing next week. An auction for BroadbandPhones.com ended there at $12,100 and another for ProstateSurgery.com just closed at $9,100.
Our 2005 Year-To-Date Top Sellers chart gets 10 new entries this week, pushing the number of sales above $10,000 to 23 just 3 weeks into the New Year. Chat.de becomes the new headliner and at more than $390,000 it could reign for awhile. Of course, they way this market is roaring, who really knows!? Here's how they stack up at this early stage of the 2005 game:

We had some communications problems with Sedo CEO Matthew Bentley today and weren't able to get that venue's new extension sales for the past week (another top Sedo exec, Daniel Law, working from home in Germany with midnight rapidly approaching there, stayed up late to get us the mainstream sales we reported earlier in this column). We'll include their new extension sales in next week's report. Sedo always shows up strong on the New TLD list, so you might expect their absence to leave the cupboard pretty bare, but that wasn't the case. We still have a quartet of four figure sales to report headed by Physician.info at $4,150.
Bob Connor sent that domain to HealthStatus.com, Inc. in a private transaction. Greg White of HealthStatus.com told us "we will will use the domain to work with some of our health assessment clients and to put their directories of physicians online at Physician.info. Our goal is building a large directory where part of the listing would include what HMO, PPO and Insurance networks the physicians participate in. Referencing the site would be free, listings on the site will be both free and monetized. This is something that I don't see in the marketplace at this time. We will use our existing network of sites and advertising to drive traffic to Physician.info."
That's just the kind of use the .info space needs to continue growing and gaining recognition. Professor Connor, a .info pioneer, thought he parted with the domain at a low price, but he had already realized several thousand dollars in revenue from the domain through use of an ad network. Having more than recouped his investment he wanted to hand the domain off to a company like HealthStatus that could fully develop the domain's potential and further recognition of the .info extension (which will benefit the rest of Connor's portfolio).
.Biz, which has made a much stronger showing in the opening weeks of 2005 than it did in 2004 took the #2 position with Nutrition.biz at $2,000. That domain was purchased at Pool.com and was the only significant sale we heard about at Pool this week. The venue has performed an astonishing vanishing act since last summer when it was the unquestioned leader in the expiring domains business.
.Biz also tied .info for the #3 position, though an asterisk should probably go on that record. Nebraska.info and Nebraska.biz were sold as a set on Ebay for $3,050 (both the buyer and seller are reputable domainers, so the usual suspicions about Ebay domain sales don't apply here). For charting purposes we accorded half of the sales price to each domain. Normally, geographic domains like this command more money in the .info extension than .biz so if they had been sold separately, odds are the .info would have been valued higher. The tables would be turned for many business terms of course. Here's a look at the complete New TLD Great 8 for the week ending Jan. 16:
Domain Name Journal's New TLD Great 8
Reported .info, .biz & .us Domain Sales Jan. 10, 2005 - Jan. 16, 2005
1. Physician.info $4,150 Pvt Sale
2. Nutrition.biz $2,000 Pool
3. Nebraska.info $1,525 Ebay
4. Nebraska.biz $1,525 Ebay
5. AllStars.biz $800 Pvt Sale
6. Movers.us $580 Afternic
7. MissionHills.info $499 Pvt Sale
8. Classroom.info $460 SnapNames
One of my domains, AllStars.biz, heads the second half of the chart at $800. I sold the domain to a well-known German band of the same name (they are the house band on Germany's network TV version of Saturday Night Live). Movers.us was next at #6 after selling for $580 at Afternic.com. A pair of .infos closed out the list; MissionHills.info, sold by Dale Porter in a private transaction for $499 and Classroom.info, sold at SnapNames for $460.

Katy Perry and Rihanna used to hang out together all the time.
Then a feud reportedly divided them: it was claimed the 29-year-old Roar singer did not approve of the 26-year-old Diamonds singer's rekindled romance with rapper Chris Brown.
But now their friendship appears to be back on as the two pop divas were spotted nearly side by side as they celebrated a friend's birthday at 1Oak in New York City on Friday.
Katy and Rihanna bonded as they sat together on either side of the birthday boy, Major Lazer's Walshy Fire.
The Dark Horse singer can be seen in rare form as she was decked out in a black bra sporting a big grin on her face while smoking a cigarette.
The 29-year-old appeared to lean into Walshy while having her cell phone safely tucked into the cup of her brassiere.
Rihanna kept it cool in a white tank top as she struck a duck lips pose while she sparked up a lighter in her right hand.
In another shot, the 26-year-old Diamonds singer took her turn puffing on a cigarette while posing with fashion designer Jeremy Scott.
Katy's rumoured new boyfriend Diplo was not pictured but is a member of Major Lazer - an electronic music project - as well.
During the height of their friendship, the duo were so close that Rihanna even threw Katy a bachelorette party before her marriage to ex-husband Russell Brand.
But once the We Found Love singer got back together with Chris Brown everything changed.
Katy was reportedly so upset with their rekindled relationship that she asked to be seated apart from her former bestie at the 2013 Grammys.
In 2013 Katy even went public about their falling out in an interview with Elle UK.
'I love her [Rihanna] and every time I see her, I'm reminded of the light that she has,' said the Roar singer.
The rebuilding of the friendship may have been a slow process but has been aided now that Rihanna wants nothing to do with the Forever singer.
They two lovely ladies were even spotted together recently at a Grimes concert in January.
And now that Rihanna has completely moved on from Chris and reignited her relationship with Drake, their friendship seems to be back on track just like before.


Methane-gas explosion deep inside Siberian coal mine leaves 38 people dead.
"The owner and administration of the mine has repeatedly allowed violations of safety conditions of mine operation," the agency said.
It warned that the Yuzhkuzbassugol might be stripped of its licence.
The explosion occurred about 520 metres below the surface at the mine around 7:30am local time (0330GMT).
A total of 179 miners were either brought to the surface or made it out on their own, emergency department spokeswoman Natalia Lukash said.
Irina Andrianova, another emergency department spokeswoman, said 217 people had been working in the mine at the time of the blast.
Her statement that the death toll had risen to 38 appeared to account for all those who had been in the mine.
Aman Tuleev, governor of the Kemerovo region where the mine is located, said the blast may have been caused by the collapse of a coal wall where drilling was taking place.
Tuleev called for a change in ownership of the mine, saying: "The owners of the mine answer for the safety of our mine workers.
"If we can't change the company owners, then we will try to revoke the licence of the company."
Yuzhkuzbassugol's ownership is split evenly between the company's management and coal and steel producer Evraz SA, which is partly owned by billionaire Roman Abramovich and which acquired its 50 per cent stake in December 2005.
The blast comes just over two months after 110 people died in a methane explosion at the Ulyanovskaya mine in the same region, known as the Kuzbass.
That blast was the worst accident in more than 60 years in Russia's mines.
In a statement posted on its website, Evraz said it was reviewing its business strategy of investment in Yuzhkuzbassugol, which is a major supplier of coking coal to two Evraz steel mills.
"Aside from this, Evraz, for its part, will review all possibilities for reducing the levels of technological and industrial risks in this coal company," the company said.
On Tuesday, Rostekhnadzor fired or suspended five regional officials in connection with the March blast at the Ulyanovskaya mine.

Kuwait's Interior Ministry called on Tuesday on residents whose visit visas are expired to settle their residency issues and leave the country to avoid legal measures.
The security information department of the Ministry of the Interior said in a press statement that this procedure prevents expatriates in general from being subjected to restrictions on the renewal of their residence.
It said that violators will be prosecuted.


This study addresses a central theme in current philosophy: Platonism vs Naturalism and provides accounts of both approaches to mathematics, crucially discussing Quine, Maddy, Kitcher, Lakoff, Colyvan, and many others. Beginning with accounts of both approaches, Brown defends Platonism by arguing that only a Platonistic approach can account for concept acquisition in a number of special cases in the sciences. He also argues for a particular view of applied mathematics, a view that supports Platonism against Naturalist alternatives. Not only does this engaging book present the Platonist-Naturalist debate over mathematics in a comprehensive fashion, but it also sheds considerable light on non-mathematical aspects of a dispute that is central to contemporary philosophy.

In the old full-service days, people never used to go into 'media'. They went into advertising and specialised in media. Or they went into sales, and specialised in selling ad space or time.
When media agencies started, one obvious impact was the split with creative. Mind you it had always been there even inside the full-service agencies, simply as a function of human nature and practicality. For practical reasons, departments were physically silo-ed. Human nature determined that many media individuals simply didn't understand and found it hard to mix with their creative counterparts (and vice-versa). Naturally there were exceptions; the true integrators were the ones who did well.
Specialisation and financial independence meant that over time the media-creative divide got worse rather than better.
Never mind, divide or no divide today it seems everyone is in 'advertising'. Not just those involved in its creation, but those who sell it, who buy it, who plan it, even those who manage the technology that allows those buying it to buy it.
Many are too far removed from the creation of the advertising even to know what they're placing, let alone how it came into existence.
Those involved (in the broadest sense) in the creative process understand their role in the team. A media professional's part is about understanding where, when, how and to whom the message can most effectively be aimed.
I would say that's pretty key, and should happen early on and as a major contributor to the creative process but I would also say that the form and content of the message trumps all. After all, the best media plan, the cheapest buy, the cleverest algorithm, the most amazing technology all count for nothing if the message is crap.
Ad agency people have to care about the message. It's their product. Media people need to understand everything about the message in order to do their jobs well. Sales people should at the very least care sufficiently to know what the message is.
You may be brilliant at technology or understand all there is to know about attribution and click-through rates. But these are a means to an end; the end is about making the message work as hard as possible.
70 years later there may be more science than there used to be in advertising but it's still more art than anything else.
Many years ago I led the team responsible for this ad for 'The Observer'. I remember the media director at the agency (also my boss) telling me I had to produce a 30-second cut-down. I refused. We won awards (part of the strategy was to influence the agencies; having our ad played for free at award ceremonies was an efficient way to do that) and the whole campaign was a commercial success. No doubt if I had listened the media reach would have been higher.
Look at this ad for Audi. Exactly the same points about the car's attributes could have been communicated by a guy standing in a room with a flip-board. Sadly I bet someone's reading this and thinking about 2 second ads for FB featuring just that on the basis that 2 seconds is all you need. Believe me it wouldn't work as well.
As a media guy you simply can't become as good as you could be in an organisation focussed more on delivering margins, or science over great advertising. And yes, I know someone will say those things aren't incompatible and in theory they're right, but in practice the evidence is that they're wrong.
Care about 'the work'. If you don't, can't or couldn't care less then you're in something other than advertising.

ENERGY IV OR MYERS COCKTAIL? WHAT'S BETTER?
ENERGY IV OR MYERS COCKTAIL? WHAT'S BETTER?
B Vitamins: These include Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacinamide (B3), Dexpanthenol (B5), Pyridoxine (B6), Folate (B9), and Cobalamin (B12).
B6 – acts as a coenzyme in metabolic reactions to carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids. This allows B6 to address a wide variety neurological and hormonal disorders.
B9 – an essential factor for processing amino acids, it helps create the building blocks for our cells. Developmental delay, movement abnormalities, seizures, and psychiatric conditions can be addressed by using B9 in its active form.
L-Carnitine – A compound that is found within most mammals, it resides in our mitochondria cell walls (our cell's powerhouses) bring fats into the mitochondrial matrix (the inner part) to allow for their use in essential energy pathways.
Taurine – A sulphur containing compound that is present within ALL of our cell's walls. It plays a large role in our detoxification pathways, electrolyte balance, and membrane stabilization.
Why Would I choose an Energy IV?
If you have a rigorous schedule, a grueling weekend of exercise, maybe just plain old worn out and can't seem to get enough caffeine in you – the Energy IV will give you sustained, balanced, and vibrant energy throughout your day or night.
Intravenous (IV) therapy is the administration of therapeutic fluids directly into a vein which allows our bodies to receive a full dose of nutrients delivered directly into our cells.
By using high concentrations of nutrients a gradient is created that aid in the healing process of individuals who have trouble with absorbing nutrients through their gut. This plays an essential role in addressing conditions such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, an absence of vitamin carrying molecules, food sensitivities, and in cases where high doses of oral vitamins are not tolerated well.
Who would benefit from Energy IVs?
LIVV is the best! I have been coming for the past 3 months getting my comprehensive labs and my IV therapy treatments. LIVV has optimized my health and helping me reach my health goals. The IV therapy treatments have really been improving my energy and focus. I have been receiving skinny shots also to improve my fat metabolism and loving those. LIVV and the team are super informative and happy to be apart of their LIVV family! Definitely recommended! Torrey M.

Nonprofits need to identify prospects with the financial means and philanthropic affinity to support their mission. Historically, you've probably used traditional wealth screenings to determine a prospect's financial capacity to give and/or employed predictive modeling to gauge their likelihood to support your mission. The value of one versus the other has been debated, but the truth is that an effective prospect research and identification strategy requires a mix of both. With Affluence Insight from Blackbaud Target Analytics, we're bringing you a single dataset that can deliver this mix.

My interest and fascination with photography begain in childhood and grew with me. After raising a family I returned to college where I spent 3 years studying photography. A better understanding of techniques and camera controls turned my interest into the passion it is today.
I enjoy most genres of photography but my biggest passion lies in the creative elements of combining my photographs with my processing knowledge to create something very different, and hopefully, unique and interesting.

(Editor's note: This is the tenth of about a dozen student essays we'll be publishing for this round of Education Lab's Student Voices program, which is partnering this year with Project Homeless. Know a student with a story to tell about homelessness or education? Email Education Lab's engagement editor, Mohammed Kloub, at mkloub@seattletimes.com.)

If you're a person of color, there comes a time in your education when you sit in history class and learn about people who look like you. Sometimes it's very brief, a simple footnote compared to the chapters that tell the history of white people. It's almost always told in the context of violence and war.
I remember the moment, sitting in history class when we discussed the Chinese workers who labored on our country's railroads. I felt my peers' eyes fall on me, the only Chinese kid there. It felt as though I could see inside their minds, drawing comparisons between me and the people they read about. I wanted to cry out that my story was different.
From kindergarten through high school, I can only recall having one teacher of color outside my foreign-language classes. I have to imagine how the conversations, lectures and curriculum would have looked like if I'd had a teacher who resembled me, or was also a person of color.
This problem isn't exclusive to me. There is a nationwide gap between the diversity of teachers and their students. A 2016 U.S. Department of Education report found that in the 2011-12 school year, 82 percent of public-school educators were white.
In Washington, the mismatch is bigger. As The Seattle Times recently reported, 89 percent of the state's teachers are white while the increasing population of nonwhite students is now nearly 46 percent.
There are many reasons why this is a problem, but for me it's quite simple — there's power in seeing someone who looks like you in a position of leadership. I had only one teacher of Asian ancestry up until college, when one quarter, I had three of them.
For the first time, as a student of color, I felt seen. When we talked about Chinese Americans we didn't just talk about the Chinese Exclusion Act and railroads. Instead, we discussed Angel Island, the "Other Alcatraz" and how it was like a prison. It was empowering.
Greater representation can improve outcomes for students of color. So why are 89% of Washington teachers white?
Our society is dominated by narratives and systems meant to exclude people of color, so it often falls on those same people to carve out their own spaces within institutions like school. It's a difficult task made easier if you have someone to help you find confidence in your identity — someone who can relate to the experience of being excluded. Without that person, it's easy to feel alone in the complicated struggle to understand your identity and how you fit into society.
Where you might hope to seek some understanding of identity in history and English class, you find none. The required reading is written by dead white men and some women. History classes present images of oppression and violence with people of color often on the receiving end. These realizations leave you with more questions than answers, a situation that might change with more diverse teachers.
Last year, I took my first Asian-American-studies class and my first ethnic-studies class. The classes were filled mainly with people who looked like me and professors who weren't white. There was a certain unspoken understanding between the professor and the students, that these classes were meant for us — students trying to understand where they came from and who they are.
I watched my peers nod as my professor spoke about the whitewashing of Asians in the media and their experience growing up in South Seattle. I listened to another professor talk about seeing the death of Vincent Chin on the news and the sudden fear he felt as an Asian man.
There was an overwhelming sense of relief because we knew we weren't alone anymore. That's the importance of having diverse teachers and a curriculum that presents a variety of perspectives. It is impossible to underplay how feeling seen affected me. To go from understanding yourself as a rarity, the odd man out, to learning about others like you from the past and present legitimizes your existence. That is something that everyone who gets an education should walk away with.
