New major scholarship initiative to support graduate students committed to social impact and sustainability
Presidio Graduate School commits $250,000 to MBA, MPA and Dual Degree students committed to changing the world.
Today Presidio Graduate School, among the world's first and leading sustainability graduate programs, announced an additional commitment to scholarship aid, supporting MBA, MPA, and Dual Degree students who have demonstrated leadership in and passion for the sustainability field.
In the inaugural year of the initiative, $250,000 in scholarships will be awarded to students enrolled for Fall 2013. Scholarships, ranging from $2,500 to $5,000, will be based on the potential strength of an applicant to be not only an outstanding Presidio student but a high-impact sustainability professional after graduation.
The Presidio Board of Directors have expressed keen interest in providing financial support to Presidio students given the growing financial burden so many graduate students face today. Accordingly, the Presidio Board have provided additional financial support to be targeted to many of the 2013 Fall cohort of 60 students and returning students.
Students join Presidio from all over the world but most commonly matriculate from California, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado and the Northeast. Among the best represented undergraduate institutions at Presidio are UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, San Francisco State University, University of Colorado Boulder, University of Wisconsin, University of Vermont, Stanford University, Yale University and Brown University. Presidio students share one thing in common: they are mission-driven. And that mission is to change the world.
"These competitive scholarships reinforce the Presidio Graduate School's commitment to building an ethnically and economically diverse student population. We seek to reach and welcome exceptionally qualified individuals who are passionate about being change agents and advancing the sustainability field and who, without this scholarship aid, might be prevented from joining our special community," says Presidio President and CEO William Shutkin.
"Presidio students master the core competencies of Systems Thinking, Sustainable Leadership, and Business/Public Administration Fundamentals. This training enhances the employability of our graduates because these skills, not taught in conventional business and policy programs, are growing in relevance and improving company and government performance. The drivers of sustainability are making an impact on how business is done, and will play a stronger role as social and environmental factors continue to influence and, in some cases, determine financial outcomes," says Shutkin.

Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read. We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world.
It has to be a world in which people live rather than die a sustainable world.I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things. It's the attitude you bring to clothes that make the difference. Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul.
Age and size are only numbers.
When I was young, I lived like an old woman, and when I got old, I had to live like a young person
Confidence! If you have it, you can make anything look good
I still appreciate individuality. Style is much more interesting than fashion, really. Attitude is everything. It's really easy to get colors right. It's really hard to get black – and neutrals – right.
1. Accessories With Personality
Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer. I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
I've treated the waistcoat as if it were a corset, so that it becomes the first layer in the process of putting clothes on the body. There is constant motion between layering and revealing.
2. Flower Print for Spring
Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.
I think it's an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable. I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
You're only as good as your last collection, which is an enormous pressure. Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.
Attitude is everything. You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes. I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting. My dresses are very reasonably priced, for dresses that are cut on the body.
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
3. Glasses Are a Must Have
I always thought what you wore underneath was as important as what you wear on top. Beauty is perfect in its imperfections, so you just have to go with the imperfections.
War taught me that not everything is glamorous. I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.
When I was young, I lived like an old woman, and when I got old, I had to live like a young person.
4.Express Your Emotions
We must never confuse elegance with snobbery. Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity. Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter.
I'm an accomplice to helping women get what they want. I never like to think that I design for a particular person. I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be, and – to some degree – the woman I'm still a little piece of.
fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening

In 1888, Karl Josef Bayer developed and patented a process, which has become the cornerstone of the aluminium production industry worldwide. The Bayer process, as it has become known, is used for refining bauxite to smelting grade alumina (aluminum oxide), the precursor to aluminium. Typically, depending upon the quality of the ore, between 1.9 and 3.6 tonnes of bauxite is required to produce 1 tonne of alumina.
The Bayer process is a cyclic one and is often called Bayer cycle. It involves four steps: digestion, clarification, precipitation, and calcination.
[Source: A. R. Hind, S. K. Bhargava, Stephen C. Grocott, "The surface chemistry of Bayer process solids: a review", Colloids and Surfaces A : Physicochem. Eng. Aspects, 146 (1999) 359–374. Other schematic diagrams of Bayer process (flowsheets) are available in the works published by B.I. Whittington, 1996 and Y. L. Sidrak, 2001].
Following digestion, the mixture is passed through a series of pressure-reducing tanks (called blow-off tanks), where the solution is flashed to atmospheric pressure. The next step in the process is to separate the insoluble red mud from the sodium aluminate solution. Coarse material (e.g., beach sand) is removed in crude cyclones called sand traps. Finer residue is settled in raking thickeners with the addition of synthetic flocculants, and solids in the thickener overflow are removed by cloth filters. These residues are then washed, combined, and discarded. The clarified solution is further cooled in heat exchangers, enhancing the degree of supersaturation of the dissolved alumina, and pumped into tall, silolike precipitators.
As can be seen in the flowsheet, lime (CaO) is also introduced in the Bayer process. According to a review on this issue by B.I. Whittington 1996, it can enhance the extraction of alumina (improving the dissolution of boehmite and diaspore or the conversion of aluminogoethite), control liquor impurities (desilication, causticisation or phosphorous control), assist with the removal of impurities from the pregnant liquor (liquor "polishing") and minimise soda losses in the red mud (formation of alternate desilication products or calcium titanates).
Alumina produced by the Bayer process is quite pure, containing only a few hundredths of 1 percent of iron and silicon. The major impurity, residual soda, is present at levels of 0.2 to 0.6 percent. In addition to being the primary raw material for producing metallic aluminum, alumina itself is an important chemical. It is used widely in the chemical, refractories, ceramic, and petroleum industries.
Refining four tons of bauxite yields about two tons of alumina. A typical alumina plant, using the Bayer process, can produce 4,000 tons of alumina per day. The cost of alumina can vary widely, depending on the plant size and efficiency, on labour costs and overhead, and on the cost of bauxite.

Bangladesh court finds UK journalist guilty of contempt for doubting death toll of 1971 war
British journalist David Bergman speaks to journalists outside the International Crimes Tribunal court building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2014. A court in Bangladesh dealing with war crimes committed during Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence has found Bergman guilty of contempt for questioning the official death toll of that conflict. (AP Photo/A.M. Ahad) (The Associated Press)
DHAKA, Bangladesh – A special tribunal in Bangladesh dealing with war crimes committed during the country's independence war has found a British journalist guilty of contempt for questioning the official death toll of the 1971 conflict.
The court ruled Tuesday that a 2011 blog post and two other articles by David Bergman offended the nation and ordered him to pay a fine of 5,000 Takas ($65) or go to jail for a week.
Bangladeshi officials say 3 million people were killed and hundreds of thousands of women raped during the war of independence against Pakistan. Bergman said there was no evidence supporting that number. The issue is hugely sensitive in Bangladesh.
Bergman works for New Age, a Dhaka-based English-language daily, and contributes to the British newspaper The Telegraph.

Q: Regarding properties of non-transitive dice First I'm not a mathematician so please ask for clarifications.
Is it required condition for the set of non-transitive dice to have numbers that are not common amongst themselves? So for example following cannot be non-transitive dice because dice B and C have 3 in common (of course they are non-transitive also because they don't satisfy basic definition):
A: 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 6
B: 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3
C: 3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
As an aside, are there any rules of thumb to check by looking at a set of n six-sided dice and tell that they cannot be non-transitive?

A: An exemple of non-transitive dices with a common value (1) is:
1 1 3 3 3 3
1 1 1 3 4 4
1 2 2 2 3 4

There's a new painter in town. and her name is Pigcasso and she's about to open an art exhibition. She had a tough life, but luckily got saved from the slaughterhouse and is now pursuing her artistic career like a pro. Wait, whaaat? Got saved from slaughterhouse? Yep! She's a pig on the outside, but an artist on the inside and her exhibition, called OINK, opens in Cape Town, then moves to London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam.
She's going to be the first of her kind to ever open an art exhibition and she seems very excited about it.
If you think it was all a joke, nope. We're not joking. It is real. Named Pigcasso, this intriguing artist has already sold a £3,000 abstract painting after being rescued from the miserable conditions of a South Africa farm.
The pig was saved by Joanne Lefson, who has then discovered his talent.
"Pigcasso isn't that different from other pigs, she is smart, curious and intelligent. The only significant difference is she has a ton of talent when she paints. I am overwhelmed and so proud of Pigcasso. From bacon to art exhibition, it's as if pigs can fly.
Lefson says that she doesn't force Pigcasso to paint. She just does it when she wants. So, nothing seems impossible now. Seeing a pig open an exhibition, I already feel talented and motivated to start myself, although I can't paint and have no talent whatsoever. But trying never hurts and, apparently, pigs can fly…or paint.

Could Cannabis Improve Pork Flavor? Weed-Fed Pigs Creating Stir
by Jennifer Shike
14:45PM Feb 05, 2019
Editor's Note: The views expressed in this piece are those of the sources and do not represent the views of Farm Journa.
Pigs at Moto Perpetuo Farm aren't getting high on cannabis, but some say their pork is better because of it. This integrated legal marijuana farming operation in Forest Grove, Ore., is not only raising cannabis-fed pigs, they're also raising a few eyebrows.
Brent Young and Ben Turley, owners of The Meat Hook, a butcher shop in Brooklyn, N.Y., followed the process of "weed-fed pork" from pig to plate on Eater, a YouTube site for food and restaurant obsessives.
"Feeding byproducts of the legal marijuana industry is of interest to many in the pork industry," says Anna Dilger, associate professor of meat science at the University of Illinois. "To my knowledge, there is no real research on this yet."
Dilger says the interest in feeding byproducts of legal marijuana is two-fold.
"In addition to the scrap ag products (plants), there is also interest in the bakery waste leftover from making marijuana brownies or cookies," Dilger says. "These are typically the edges or scraps that are not offered for sale or products that have gone stale."
Although bakery waste is a common feed ingredient, Dilger says it's an additional challenge when the bakery waste has THC in it. THC in the diet is of interest to some, scientifically, because the appetite stimulation by marijuana could increase feed intake in pigs.
Dave Hoyle, owner of Moto Perpetuo Farm, says, "We do feel that we see an increased appetite and the pigs seem to be gaining weight faster than the same breed fed a similar free-choice ration without the cannabis."
However, he's quick to note this is mostly anecdotal. His pigs also have free access to a grain diet and are frequently fed byproducts from his produce operation as well.
"Their diets vary by season," Hoyle says. "Melons, tomatoes, etc., in the summertime and greens and roots in the wintertime. The amount of cannabis we feed fluctuates by the time of the year and the availability of material, due to production cycles. We can only feed material from our own state-licensed operation, making a consistent and quantifiable ration a wee bit tricky."
So, how does this affect the end product? What does cannabis-fed pork taste like? In the video, Young and Turley followed Matthew Jarrell, executive chef at Imperial, a restaurant in Portland, Ore., around his kitchen as he prepared secreto – an uncommon cut of pork that their restaurant specializes in serving that ties back to Spain's acorn-fattened pigs.
Chef Jarrell said the cannabis-fed pork does not impart the flavor of cannabis, from what they understand the flavor of cannabis to be.
"What I do taste is juicier pork, and a more resistant texture – there's no mushiness involved," Jarrell says.
Dustin Boler, associate professor of meat science at the University of Illinois, says the advanced age of the pigs (14 months old) is likely a factor when it comes to the pork texture.
"In my opinion that is more of a contributor to change in texture than the diet," Boler says.
Although no controlled experiments were run, Boler agrees that it's an interesting conversation.
"This is an area where producers are definitely curious about using these products," Dilger says. "But we don't have a lot of scientific information about how pigs will react to these ingredients and how pork will change as a result."

, secure their inquiries with a line of habitual responses: "You did a good job!" Of course…I love it!" "Well done, what an awesome drawing." Etc. But, if we contain our selves from a knee jerk response, and rethink the language that we use, we may want to reconsider.
Challenging our selves to replace fluffed up flagrant praise with more inquiry into their work or pointing what seemingly may be the obvious. Observation statements may sound like this: "I noticed you worked really hard on your project." "I see you used a lot of blue tones." "I notice your spending more time on writing your words. Inquiry based statements may sound like this: "That's a interesting drawing. What image cam to mind when you created it?" "How come you decided to intersect the lines or draw circles here?" "Where did you get the idea for your story." Etc.
Modeling a certain way to come to a product can also cripple the natural progress of creation. As parents and educators who value independence, self-confidence, and free creative expressionism, lets refrain from portraying a perfect prototype or model. Yes we want to interact with kids and do various activities within their company, but we want to be careful not to display an outcome or product, in which they cannot achieve in that present moment. It also may inadvertently place and idea that there is a right and wrong way of creating, and paints an expectation that devalues their work. Yes, it's tempting to want to draw with the youngster or mold clay together, but refrain oneself from modeling. However in the position of working on a project together, insist on disciplining oneself to use opposing hands to create. If you're left-handed use your right, and if you're right handed, use your right. If you're an ambidextrous, than use your feet or mouth. But what ever we do we can't be Dali or Picasso. Kids, as we know, look up to our image, and can feel self defeated if they can't live up to their adult role models.
Paying more attention to an interaction with youth that involves less praise and modeling, while rethinking what social habits we can change in our own lives can have an empowering effect on the lives of kids. It also challenges us to reshape the dialogue provoking and stimulating more creative and critical thought, not only among the youngsters but among us adults.

Common cell type found in autoimmune diseases
May 16, 2019 - 19:50
Article from University of Oslo
Immune cells at the centre of coeliac disease have been found in patients with other autoimmune diseases. These results give hope of finding the cause of a number of diseases.
Keywords: Cells, coeliac, Diseases, immune system, Medicine, Treatment

By: Thomas Olafsen
New study shows that people affected with coeliac disease have unique immune cells which attack gluten. The same type of cells have been found in elevated numbers in the blood of patients with other autoimmune diseases. (Illustration: fusebulb / Shutterstock / NTB scanpix)
Autoimmune diseases affect many people. In these diseases, the immune system attacks the body's own cells and cell constituents. Known autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, MS, type 1 diabetes, systemic sclerosis, psoriasis and coeliac disease.
With a few exceptions, we have so far been unable to develop an effective treatment against these diseases. Two important reasons for this are that we do not know what is being attacked in the body, and we have not managed to identify the responsible immune cells.
The cells that drive coeliac disease have a highly unique profile, and the same type of cells have been found in elevated numbers in the blood of patients with other autoimmune diseases. This has been demonstrated in a new study by Asbjørn Christophersen, colleagues at Stanford University in the United States, and Professor Ludvig Sollid's group at UiO.
This indicates that a quite unique type of cells is the driver behind several autoimmune diseases. The study generates hope that we will be able to find the causes of several autoimmune diseases. At the same time, it provides insight into how such cells could be disabled by specific treatment.
T-cells attack something that is harmless
To understand what the scientists have discovered, we must first look at what happens in coeliac disease and other autoimmune diseases.
"One type of immune cells, called T-cells, distinguishes between what is dangerous and what is harmless. In coeliac disease and other autoimmune diseases, the T-cells steer an attack against something that should really be harmless", explains Christophersen. "We are then left with some questions.
What is recognized as dangerous? The study delineates which cells could be responsible for autoimmune disease. We can now investigate these cells in more detail and find out just what it is that they recognize as dangerous and therefore attack.
Can we develop better targeted treatment for autoimmune diseases? The study highlights several characteristics of the cells central to coeliac disease. The characteristics in question are proteins on the surface of the cells. This also applies to similar cells in other autoimmune diseases. Knowledge of these characteristics enables the potential to disable the cells using immunotherapy.
How do these central T-cells communicate with other cells involved in the disease? The study indicates that several proteins and signal molecules are involved in communication with other cells that are important for development of the disease."
Coeliac disease is the key
Christophersen explains "We know a lot about the external appearance of different autoimmune diseases and we know that the body's own cells are destroyed. Nonetheless, we do not know exactly what it is that the immune cells recognize, and we have not been able to find the immune cells that are behind disease development."
"Coeliac disease is the only autoimmune disease where we know what it is that the immune response identifies as dangerous, namely gluten. We also know that T-cells that recognize gluten play a central role in the development of coeliac disease. Patients with coeliac disease have inflammation of the small intestine, and the immune cells attack both gluten and the body's own tissue."
Same type of cells as in other autoimmune diseases
In coeliac patients, the cells that recognize gluten have an identical surface. Moreover, they belong to a very small subgroup of T-cells.
"What is particularly interesting is that people with other autoimmune diseases had a high number of the same type of T-cells in their blood," says Christophersen. "On the other hand, we found very few of these cells in healthy people. The other diseases we looked at were lupus and sclerosis.
Because these cells are so important in the development of coeliac disease, the study indicates that we have found cells that also play a central role in the development of other autoimmune diseases."
Unique profile and new methods
The researchers have found that a special type of T-cells is common to several autoimmune diseases. These cells recognize gluten in patients with coeliac disease. Now the goal is to find what they recognize in patients with other autoimmune diseases, as well as to disable such cells with targeted treatment. (Photo: SMART Servier Medical ART, modified by Asbjørn Christophersen)
The researchers observed that after patients with coeliac disease ate gluten, the gluten-specific cells have a very distinctive profile. This profile consists of a combination of specific molecules or proteins on the cell surface.
Christophersen and his colleagues used phenotyping to determine this unique profile. One prerequisite for success was the development of a new method, combining specific staining of cells that recognize gluten with another method for staining cells, by Christophersen during a research stay at Stanford University.
"With these staining methods, we can divide the cells into groups based on their external and internal characteristics. In our study, we have specifically looked at proteins expressed on the surface, but we also investigated the cells' mRNA. mRNA is small copies of cells' DNA and these are located inside the cell. mRNA instructs the cell as to which proteins should be produced and expressed on the surface. The studies on the cells' mRNA also revealed a lot about how the cells communicate with other cells."
Hope for improved knowledge and treatment
Researchers found many more cells with this unique profile in patients with coeliac disease, systemic sclerosis and lupus than in healthy people; in people with coeliac disease, these cells recognize gluten.
"However, the study does not show that gluten has something to do with other autoimmune diseases. This is an important point", says Christophersen.
"Now the hope is that we can find what the immune cells recognize and attack in other autoimmune diseases. We hope and believe that we can also use this knowledge to develop drugs that will disable these cells which play such a central role in autoimmune disease. We want to achieve something similar to that which researchers have achieved in recent years with immunotherapy against cancer."
Researchers Eivind G. Lund and Omri Snir in Professor Sollid's group have played a highly central role in the research. The study is founded on many years of targeted research into coeliac disease by Professor Sollid's group at UiO and the Jebsen Centre for Coeliac Disease Research, as well as research into T-cells by the group led by Professor Mark M. Davis at Stanford University. This shows that the EU and the UiO Scientia Fellows programme, as well as UiO's investments in five world-leading research communities, of which Professor Sollid's group is one, have produced results.
The study was published in Nature Medicine on 25 March (link to the article).

I immediately pulled the impractical book jacket off Good to Great by Jim Collins and began reading. Tight editing, timely subject matter and good storytelling made it difficult for me to put this one aside.
Just begin addressing some of the main principles and taking some of the steps toward "greatness" as these eleven companies have, and the book is well worth the price.
Build a culture of discipline.
Question the will of your leaders.
After reading this book, I was eager to discuss it with my co-owners, co-workers and anyone else who would listen. Quite extraordinary considering the books subject matter – the analysis and measurement of the findings from eleven companies and their sustained return to shareholders.

Haunebu I Display Model
Luftwaffe, Germany
Haunebu I 8" 8"
In an attempt to create the world's leading military, Hitler tasked Germany's most innovative engineers with developing a series of cutting-edge, often bizarre aircraft - many of which never made it past the drawing board. And, according to some, the Third Reich's scientific capabilities were so progressive that they began work on aseries of secretive spacecraft. Known as "Haunebu," these flying saucers were built upon specialized engines and, again according to some theorists, they remain in underground bases around the world. Representing one of these otherworldly ships, this 1:72 scale model - an exciting collectible in the acclaimed Luft-X series - features an advanced circular design, three undercarriage ball turrets, and authentic German markings.
Haunebu I
In UFOlogy, conspiracy theory, science fiction, and comic book stories, claims or stories have circulated linking UFOs to Nazi Germany. The German UFO theories describe supposedly successful attempts to develop advanced aircraft or spacecraft prior to and during World War II.

Luft-X
The Luft-X range presents affordable, ready-made resin models of proposed experimental military aircraft of the Luftwaffe in WWII in 1:72 scale.
Prior to and during the Second World War, German aeronautical engineers working for the Luftwaffe in corporate and university laboratories conceived of, designed and built aircraft that were years ahead of their time.
These secret designs included dramatic improvements in aerodynamics, propulsion and materials. Had there been more time, they may well have changed the outcome of the war. Fortunately for the Allies, the Nazi high command failed to grasp the importance of these advancements until it was too late to make a difference. After the war, captured Luftwaffe designs were studied and integrated into all facets of Allied aircraft development.
The Luft-X collection captures these remarkable aircraft, showcasing the secret developments of WWII German aircraft and posing the haunting question - What if?
Luft-X display airplanes feature:
Molded resin construction with no assembly required.
Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
Transparent canopies, revealing detailed cockpit interiors.
Presentation stand to display the aircraft "in flight".
Why Resin?
It's very expensive to produce die-casting molds, and manufacturers must sell a large number of models from each mold in order to recoup development costs. Some subjects are so obscure that it's difficult to sell large quantities of them. Resin-casting is a much simpler and less expensive process, and manufacturers can use it to make limited runs of models that can't be cost effectively manufactured in diecast metal. With resin-cast models, collectors can add fascinating and unusual subjects to their collections without the time and difficulty of assembling and painting a model kit.

This is an outstanding movie about how the 13th amendment was ratified. I wholeheartedly recommend it and give it five stars.
It does begin with a very gruesome (but realistic) hand to hand combat scene, but I still think this movie is appropriate for homeschooling families with kids in middle school or older. I want my kids to see it. It should have wide appeal generally, and I'm glad it is showing to packed audiences here. Somehow, this movie seems relevant to our own times as well, since we need to win some congressional battles of our own.
This film illuminates both the situation and time beautifully, as well as the integrity of this remarkable man. Both Steven Spielberg and the cast did a wonderful job. Bravo. Make sure you get to see this one.

People are getting bored in their jobs and countries.
They want to explore new challenges.
For companies which have a high turnover rate, something can be done.
Last month, I attended a great training program, Innogate.
It was beneficial and effective.
I want to share what I learned.
Innogate is an extraordinary program to extend your company abroad.
In this program, you'll learn about product development, marketing, pitching, etc.
I'm a technical person, but I learned a lot about marketing and pitching.
You should select a product which you want to invest.
Not all of your products.
One of the most critical things is a business model.
You can start with filling the business model canvas.
Find it in the picture below.
Start filling your canvas from 1-9.
Value proposition must be obvious and simple.
This simple picture will be your roadmap, and it'll contain all your needs.
However, you will realize that it can be difficult.
The product is one of the most critical parts, but not the only one.
I learned that if you have a great team and vision, you'll find success.
You can modify your product.
I didn't believe this at first, but I saw they successfully changed it in Innogate.
You must create your dream team.
If you are alone, you need to find your soul mates.
Marketing, sales and business development are crucial.
However, if you have a perfect product but can't sell it, what does it matter!
Don't put too many options on your product.
Users don't want to overthink.
They want to merely use it.
Create your product development lifecycle.
Put your vision on your office wall.
Marketing is the key to making money.
You must learn how to sale.
However, the most crucial part is analysises.
You need to create your data points, your KPI's.
You must know your customers and why they are buying.
Know your sale channels and their performances.
Define clear KPI's and timeframes.
Optimize and do it again.
If you have a meeting with your customer, ask questions.
Ask questions to understand the role and fit.
When I started with the program, I had a profile on Linked-in.
However, I didn't know how important it is.
First, If you have a standard background, change it.
Try to connect people, related your product and target.
You created your team, your product, and your marketing strategy.
Now, you can pitch it!
If you can't present it in 4 minutes, you have problems with it.
You need to show the problem and your solution.
It's not only about the product.
Show only 1-2 slides for the product, I know it's very hard.
You must show its value points.
You should read his article.
You have a great team, a great product, and a plan.
But, you don't have money.
Investors can help you grow.
If you have money don't look for the money, just do it.
Think, what'll you do, if you have money which you are looking for.
If you get money from investors, you'll have responsibilities.
They won't give you that money to waste.
They will manage you, they will control everything.
And then, they will sell you.
Because they have funds and responsibilities.
Or, you will die in the dead valley.
Innogate is a beneficial and mind opening process.
Then, you will say this is the point.
At the end of the process, you will have awareness.


BC Tourism Industry Conference registration is open!
The people have spoken. No, I'm not talking about the recent U.S. election, but rather the feedback we received on our two recent surveys regarding the 2017 BC Tourism Industry Conference (BCTIC) and TIABC policy priorities.
For the conference, delegates were keen on workshops that covered everything from Mobile Marketing and Innovative Recruiting, to Digital Disruption and OTA Partnerships. We've also scheduled workshops on Film Tourism, Events to Drive Visitation, Adventure Travel, and Beer/Wine Tourism, among many others.
Early-bird registration opened last week and we've already received registrations from around the province including Vancouver Island, Fraser Valley, Thompson Okanagan and Kootenay Rockies regions. Be sure to register early and secure your hotel room/rate because BCTIC 2017 promises to be one of the most popular to date.
As for policy priorities, members affirmed our focus on Transportation/Access, Formula Funding, Short-term Rentals, and Labour Challenges. Furthermore, our Policy Committee is working on additional policies identified as important including Airport Privatization, Ride-sharing, Climate Change, CRA Campground Assessments and Pipelines...all of which affect most regions of the province.
For your information, on the labour file TIABC has partnered with go2HR, BC Chamber of Commerce, Canada's West Ski Areas Association and the BC Hotel Association to present a formal response to the federal government on the 21 recommendations identified in the HUMA report on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Our collective goal is to encourage government to adopt those recommendations we believe are most relevant in helping BC's tourism industry deal with its shortage of workers.
Like you, TIABC's board and staff are juggling a number of files and responsibilities that will keep us busy and focussed well into 2017. However, we'll also take the time to pause (even if only briefly) this holiday season to give thanks for what we have as an industry in British Columbia to share with people from all over the world.
With that, I wish you a wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year.
For over 20 years, the BC Tourism Industry Conference has been providing a forum for tourism businesses and stakeholders from around British Columbia to come together to learn from experts and each other about the key issues, challenges and best practices in the industry.
We welcome anyone interested in tourism to participate in this annual gathering.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with other tourism businesses, communities and government leaders to share ideas, ask questions, network, learn, and explore.
These awards recognize excellence in the province's tourism industry. Recipients provide outstanding service, exemplify best business practices, engage in innovative marketing and deliver tourism experiences that contribute to the success of BC's visitor economy - which currently generates some $15+ billion in revenue for British Columbia.
Five awards will be presented at the Tourism Awards Gala, held during the BC Tourism Industry Conference . The submission deadline is January 9, 2017.
This award recognizes a British Columbia tourism industry employer who has upheld high standards of excellence in human resources and people management practices.
This award recognizes frontline employees whose exceptional customer service contributed to outstanding travel experiences for visitors.
This award recognizes an individual, organization or consortium that has devised and implemented an outstanding marketing campaign or initiative that is directed at increasing the number of visitors to or within British Columbia.
This award recognizes a British Columbia tourism business or organization that has developed, delivered, promoted and sold a new or improved tourism product or experience that reflects the essence of British Columbia and contributes to a remarkable visitor experience. Festivals/events, adventure/outdoor, food and beverage, cultural/heritage, urban/rural and accommodation experiences may all be considered within this category.
This award recognizes a community DMO for outstanding performance, accountability and commitment to the tourism industry in British Columbia.
The #BCTIC 2017 app is live on the Apple App and Google Play stores. Let's have some fun and build excitement for the conference in February.
TIABC is pleased to welcome two new business members: Eagle Wing Tours and Harbour Air Seaplanes.
With over 31 years in business and more than 50 aircraft, the Harbour Air Group, consisting of Harbour Air Seaplanes, Whistler Air and Saltspring Air, have become the largest all-seaplane company in the world.
Since 2007, TripAdvisor has voted Eagle Wing Tours #1 for Whale Watching in Victoria.
Eagle Wing's mission is to work with purpose and passion on behalf of all wildlife in the Salish Sea, encouraging guests to become more involved in the education and conservation of a sustainable, healthy, and more balanced marine eco-system.
TIABC recently attended the TIAC Congress in Gatineau where the Canadian Tourism Awards were presented on the final night.
Several TIABC members were nominated including YVR for Best Business of the Year, Oliver Osoyoos Winery Association's Half Corked Marathon for Event of the Year, and Eagle Wing Tours and the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre for the Sustainable Tourism Award.
The Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) and HLT Advisory (HLT) released the 2016 Annual Report on Canadian Tourism.
Focusing on the potential opportunity to target American travellers, this fifth annual collaboration reviews the parameters powering global industry growth in contrast to the perennial factors constraining Canadian performance.
"As 2016 comes to a close, tourism boasts the highest overseas results ever for the summer season and strong returns on targeted US market campaigns. The industry welcomes these successes with caution as increased volume does not compensate for lagging market share and policies undermining Canada's global competitiveness ," stated TIAC president and CEO Charlotte Bell.
Between January and October 2016, 18.8 million passengers traveled through YVR, a 9.5% increase compared to the same period last year. The airport is expecting a record year with a total of 22 million passengers by year's end. Much of the traffic increase comes from Air Canada's eight new routes announced in 2016. F ive new destinations for 2017 are Gatwick, Frankfurt, Taipei, Nagoya and Dallas.
Approximately 550,000 passengers and 212,000 crew from 224 ship calls landed at Ogden Point during the 2016 cruise ship season, according to figures released by the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. The 2016 season kicked off April 3 and wrapped up Oct. 17.
GVHA expects the number of ship calls to increase in 2017 to more than 240, which CEO Ian Robertson said is a reflection of the growing popularity of Victoria as a destination and of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska routes for cruise passengers. The harbour authority estimates annual economic impact of cruise ships for Victoria is more than $100 million; each cruise ship call brings in an average of $400,000 in direct spending to the region.
International Visa cardholders spent $3.9USD billion in Canada from May to September 2016, according to the 2016 Summer Travel Snapshot released by Visa Canada and the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC). The report highlights the 9.2% increase over what visitors spent in 2015 and further solidified US and China as the top source markets for the Canadian tourism industry.
A breakdown of U.S. visitor spending by state reveals California, New York and Washington leading for the second year in a row.
The top 10 Canadian cities visited by travellers from the top five inbound countries - USA, China, France, the UK, and Germany.
Insights into the categories of spending from international visitors including the revelation that international visitors spend almost 10 times more on full-service restaurants than fast food restaurants.
Tourism is a $90.3 billion industry that employs Canadians in every region of the country. Summer 2016 has been a banner year for tourism with visitation increasing to 8.5 million, levels not seen since 2002. TIAC believes these successes must be viewed as a reason to capitalize on the higher level of international visitors and their spending patterns to keep these trends on the rise.

Deborah Kulchiski has recently announced her departure from Tourism Langley and TIABC wishes her well in her next endeavour.
Deborah was hired as the inaugural Executive Director for Tourism Langley, tasked to open the doors of a new Destination Management Organization. She brought her passion for the industry and her extensive experience to the role and has spent the last 9 nine years leading the successful organization. In 2012, Tourism Langley received the DMO Professional Excellence Award at the BC Tourism Industry Awards!
Deborah is a valued member of the TIABC board team chairing our Membership & Communications Committee. Her dedication to this important volunteer role has been vital to our success.
Moving your company towards sustainability needs to come from both the top down as well as the bottom up. Once an executive decision is made to support sustainability, there needs to be ongoing support to establish and implement a green action plan and strategy. Creating that plan and keeping it on track are jobs for the green team.
A green team is a committee made up of people from your company. These employees collectively have insights into all aspects of your organization and can bring ideas from their departments or roles to improve the company's sustainability performance.
Having a green team will help you attract and engage top talent by aligning with the values of potential employees. According to a Conference Board of Canada survey, 71% of Canadians want to work for an employer that has commitments to improve their company's sustainability performance.
Usually the people who volunteer have a strong connection to social and environmental sustainability and a strong desire to do what's right and make change for the better within the organization. Engagement can spike if employees are feeling positive about the company's commitment to corporate social responsibility (according to GreenBiz).
Green teams can actually help save your company money. They often work to find and implement ways to improve efficiencies, which can lead to a great return on investment. For example, if a green team decides that setting a target to reduce paper printed by 50% will help meet their waste reduction goals, then that is 50% less paper your company needs to pu rchase, and less that you need to spend on hauling recycling away.
If you are ready to start off the New Year on the right foot by getting a green team up-and-running, download Green Tourism's guide: How to Establish A Green Team in Your Business . Getting started on this now will ensure that you have your priorities in the right place for 2017, the UN's International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development .

The Divided Dial
Summary Transcript
The BBC Persian Service, an all-Farsi satellite channel based in London, is banned by the regime, as are the ubiquitous satellite dishes, but every day it transmits the concerns of Iranians reaching out from inside the country via phone, email and text messages. This week, despite spotty phone and Internet access, they still managed to call in reports of their experiences. Siavash Ardalan is one of the hosts of the talk show Your Turn. He says that they've been relying on citizen journalists in Iran for reporting and footage, including some disturbing tape of students being beaten by paramilitary forces in the Iranian city of Esfahan.
SIAVASH ARDALAN: Someone actually took a picture of one of the students who died as he was being filmed. This is the extreme of the kinds of images that we get. What our audience want now is just to see that there is such huge rallies as the oceans of people who have taken to the streets inside the capital and other cities, and this is the kind of material they send us.
BOB GARFIELD: What's the most vivid phone call that you've gotten on your show? Can you share that?
SIAVASH ARDALAN: For me personally it was a call I got the day before yesterday when I was hosting the show. An Iranian student in Birmingham, I think 24, 25 years old, he called in to say that that particular student who I was just talking about, who was killed in the attack of the Islamic vigilantes at the university dormitory, was his brother. And then he broke down in tears. That is one memory that will stay with me.
BOB GARFIELD: The Iranian government has accused foreign press of fomenting the protests that have taken over the streets of Teheran and other cities. How do you plead to the charge of being an instigator?
SIAVASH ARDALAN: I think one reason why this perception might be there is because most of the calls that we get are from the opposition supporters, and the government itself, their own officials and their supporters, refuse to appear on the – on our programs. I think that's why this perception is created.
BOB GARFIELD: You are served to Iran via satellite. Can you tell me how much they've succeeded in keeping your signal from Iranian viewers?
SIAVASH ARDALAN: It has been successful, in the past day or two, especially. It's not a continuous jamming. Whenever the government feels that something is being said that may not be to their interest, we experience more jamming.
BOB GARFIELD: This kind of, I guess, as much as any other story that you're going to run across, puts to test the notion of journalistic objectivity, no?
SIAVASH ARDALAN: I've been brought up to think that the best kind of journalism is objective journalism, and that's what I've been trying to live by and work by. There are urges, naturally, to the contrary. Our colleagues in the newsroom, we have some of our colleagues who do a report, who write everything according to, you know, the way they should write, objective, but then when they look at the pictures, when they try to edit them, they break down and cry. So it's, it's difficult for all of us.
BOB GARFIELD: Siavash, thank you very much.
SIAVASH ARDALAN: Thank you. Thank you, Bob.
BOB GARFIELD: Siavash Ardalan is a presenter for Your Turn on the Persian Service of the BBC.

John Morrison of North Shields was an old established firm of sailmakers and progressed from sail to steamship owner. In 1874 John Morrison was joined by his son S.A. Morrison and the company became John Morrison & Son. Most ships were employed in traditional trades. In 1896 the company owned eleven ships, but in 1902 only two tramp ships were left.
At the start of World War I John Morrison & Son owned two ships and one was lost during that conflict. John Morrison & Son gave up ship owning in 1918, returning in 1922 with J.W Morrison, grandson of John Morrison, after the worst of the slump was over, by purchasing an old second hand tramp steamer.
By 1926 the company was reformed as John Morrison & Son, Cliffside Shipping Co. Ltd and Morrison Steam Ship Co. Ltd each with two ships.
In 1934 they controlled ten steamers. By 1939 the companies owned ten ships and this dropped during World War II to two in 1944. Thirteen ships were managed for the Ministry of War Transport during that conflict. Altogether thirteen ships were lost due enemy action and three were lost in nautical hazards. J.W. Morrison died after suffering a fatal heart attack in 1941.
After World War II the companies had no more ships of their own and the last of the managed ships went in 1948 when the companies were wound up.

When you're on the job hunt, you only have six seconds to hook a recruiter or future employer with your resume.
And with the rise of applicant tracking systems (those doohickeys that scan your resume), figuring out what to include, what to trash, what to highlight and what to downplay on your resume is getting even more difficult.
But with more than 7 million job openings in the U.S., we knew it was time to get serious — and give you a shotgun blast of tips that will help you stand out among the 6.5 million job seekers jostling through the labor market.
We chatted with several human resources and recruiting experts to find out the latest trends in resume writing and bring you inside knowledge about how to make yours stand out.
Procrastination can be one of the biggest hurdles while writing your resume. It represents the whole of your working life and you want it to be absolutely perfect, right?
You'll be constantly tweaking the document to tailor it to each job in which you apply, and to incorporate feedback from friends and even HR managers with whom you've interviewed. So it doesn't have to start out perfect — it's not a static document.
The key is to just sit down and get started on your resume right away, said Colin McIntosh, CEO of Sheets & Giggles, former recruiter, and author of the second most popular Reddit post of all time on the "jobs" subreddit — a resume guide.
"It's like fishing without bait; make a resume on day one of a job hunt," he said.
What are you most proud of in your professional career? You'll want to focus on accomplishments rather than specific job duties while filling out your resume. Ask yourself this question about each previous job.
How did you add value — efficiency, cost saving or just happiness — to the company at which you last worked? Recruiters and HR managers want to see quantifiable results when they look at your previous positions. Did a process you implemented lead to a 10% growth in sales?
Can you explain what you actually did at your previous positions? For recruiters, clarity is king when it comes to describing your previous positions. Explain to a friend what you did at a previous job — do they understand your role? Avoid jargon and cliches.
Whip out that bullet journal, planner or even your Google calendar and carve out a specific time frame — an hour or two — and sit down and write. Just think: If you don't have a resume, you can't get a job and you won't get paid.
Grab a red pen or highlighter, print out the job description and start highlighting words or phrases you see repeatedly. Once you've done that, circle the ones you know you have in common with the description.
For example, if you see "analytical thinker" several times and you consider yourself one, circle that. These will likely be keywords recruiters are looking for on your resume.
Don't be shy: Make a connection with someone at the company over LinkedIn and ask what key skills or qualities they might be looking for in a candidate. This will help you bolster those keywords.
Garcia-Cooper applied for jobs in a variety of industries, which means he had to tailor his resume for each position. This isn't uncommon, and you should be prepared to tweak your resume based on the position and keywords in each job description.
This may not seem like much of a tip, but if you want to get right to the job hunt, pay someone else to write your resume. Take it from us, writing is hard, and there are plenty of companies that have sprung up out there offering resume-writing services.
Loren Margolis, CEO of Training & Leadership Success, suggests reading reviews of these companies and asking for resume samples before paying for the service.
"One easy rule to follow: If an agency or individual doesn't show you their templates up front and explain why — for free — they'd want to make certain decisions on your format, don't work with them," McIntosh said.
Garcia-Cooper used Visual CV to design his resume instead of going with a template that's already out in the wild. This is especially helpful if you're not the creative type and will incorporate many of the tips we highlight below.
It might be tempting to add color, graphics or even a headshot to make your resume stand out. But according to resume experts, it's best to keep it as simple as possible.
Err on the boring side with your font selection. Recruiters are looking for something easy to read that won't be distracting — think Arial or Georgia, said Margolis.
We get it, you want to wow a recruiter or future employer with your creative spark. But you're not Elle Woods, and as much as it may hurt, you want your accomplishments to speak for themselves. A fancy font can distract from that.
Short bullet points will highlight your accomplishments while making it easy for future employers to scan your work history. Also, it should (hopefully) make you mindful of rambling too much about your job history.
Recruiters will spend between six and 10 seconds reading your resume, so you want to make it as skimmable as possible, Margolis said. Short bullet points will highlight your accomplishments while making it easy for future employers to scan your work history.
Submitting a Word document of your resume could cause an applicant-tracking system to ignore it and also give recruiters without Microsoft Office a headache. Save your resume as a .pdf to avoid any problems with cross-compatibility.
Margolis said it's OK to write your resume so it ends up longer than one page — but stop at 1 ½. Recruiters are more inclined to read past the first page than they have been in the past, but remember, they'll still give you only six to 10 seconds.
Try to let your resume breathe. Add a few carriage returns between sections, or use a template that formats text so it isn't crammed together.
Your resume is a single document aimed at summing up your entire professional life, so it's not a surprise that you'll want to jam as much information into 1 ½ pages as possible. Don't do it.
"You don't want a recruiter to get tired reading your resume because it's filled with so much font," Margolis said.
Since you only have 1 1/2 pages to sum up your career, you might want to consider making a website to expand on your experience — or include your professional portfolio. Make sure it is optimized for mobile devices, since a recruiter might open it on their phone.
If you started with those questions from earlier in this post, you should have a good idea what you accomplished at each position.
Your resume will likely go through an applicant-tracking system, which will search for those keywords we discussed earlier. Recruiters will do the same as they skim your resume for those six seconds. So include the relevant phrases or words for the job description (those you highlighted and circled earlier) throughout your resume.
"However, while you want to incorporate keywords from the job posting in your resume, my advice is don't get too crazy," said Mikaila Turman, a vice president and expert in recruiting at Inflection, an Omaha, Nebraska-based company that uses big data to perform automated background checks.
Regardless of how old you are, you can avoid any chance of age discrimination by excluding dates under the education section of your resume.
Don't put your exact address if you're applying for jobs within the area. The street name and number will just add clutter.
But, what if you're applying for a job in another state and don't want to be at a disadvantage due to relocation? In that case, either exclude your location altogether, or add "Moving to:" in front of the city and state of the job to which you are applying.
If you were truly unemployed, add a section in which you describe yourself as an independent consultant. Under the description, write that you needed some flexibility to take care of personal matters, McIntosh suggests.
Including a section in which you list your hobbies and interests will help avoid being seen as a faceless resume and give something for recruiters to connect with.
"If you put "Seinfeld," I promise someone will ask you what your favorite episode of Seinfeld is — (mine's 'The Soup Nazi')," McIntosh said.
In the past, including links in your resume might trigger a spam filter through certain email clients, so human resources experts advised against including them. That's changed, said Hernandez, and including links to your LinkedIn, personal website or portfolio can add depth to your resume without making it too long.
"I would say this very important — especially in 2019," she said.
Consider skipping the objective section at the top of your resume, which just takes up valuable space.
There's nothing more grating for a recruiter than reading a mealy-mouthed jumble of cliches. And with the algorithms within applicant-tracking systems searching for specific words and phrases, it's always best to be as specific and clear as possible in position titles, accomplishments and job responsibilities.
"Resumes are like no other document you'll ever write in that you're supposed to sound like a caveman," said Margolis.
Hernandez said you should avoid terms such as "proficient," "experienced" and "skilled in" when describing software or skills. If you have some experience in Excel, just put "Excel" next to a bullet point in your skills section.
You'll probably read through your resume so many times on your computer screen that your eyes will cross. Printing it out will help you catch mistakes you might otherwise overlook.
Pro-tip: Use a much larger font to help yourself identify mistakes even more. There's no quicker way for a resume to end up in the trash than being riddled with grammatical or spelling errors.
"Reading aloud is helpful, too," said Margolis.
Ask one (or many) of your friends to read through your resume to try and catch any mistakes. You should also ask them to read it for clarity.
Does it convey exactly what you have accomplished? Is it clear what value you will bring to the company?
Go on Fiverr or Upwork and look for proofreaders or copy editors to take a look at your resume. Since it's only one page, you'll likely pay $5 or $10 — which could be worth it to catch a small mistake before a recruiter has a chance to notice it.
Here's how you should name your resume file: "[First name] [Last name] [Resume].pdf". It will help recruiters identify whose resume they are looking at right away.
Most recruiters will be happy to provide feedback on your resume if you don't happen to land that job you were chasing. In fact, that's how Garcia-Cooper learned he should avoid leaving gaps in his work history.

Fly Away, Mockingbird!
Originally published in Counterpunch on July 26, 2010.
Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird was a successeven before it was published in July 1960. In the Spring, the Book of the Month Club and The Literary Guildguaranteed the novel commercial success by selecting it. Thence it was condensed by Reader's Digest, approved of by the Alabama legislature, translated in Europe, and gossiped about in the magazines. Within one year it had won a Pulitzer Prize and sold 2.5 million copies. The following year it landed in the sweet spot of middlebrow glory—a film adaptation that won an Academy Award for Gregory Peck.
As the armies of tolerance celebrate To Kill a Mockingbird—it's the 50th anniversary—one is put in mind of a maxim by W.H. Auden: "You do not read a book," Auden said. "A book reads you." What do Tom Robinson, Bob and Mayella Ewell, Scout and Jem Finch, and their father Atticus say of our long fascination with them?
Many of us were clamoring for the return of the novel as a vehicle for social criticism when Lee's book appeared. In the 1940s and 1950s, the vogue for "New Fiction" had abandoned the social realism we read in the literature of the 1930s. Postwar writers, worried about the obliteration of personality in a period of total war and nuclear threat, had turned inward toward pathologies—trauma, anxiety, dysfunction, alienation, angst, despair—and took Freud, Kierkegaard, and Dostoevsky as intellectual sources. The note of social rejection or ambivalence resounds in the era's most influential youth novel, J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, and in its best race novel, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. Harper Lee's novel combined youth and race as youth was beginning to revolt, race was moving to the center of national politics, and novels (and films) were returning to prominence in criticism as well as in art.
Oddly for a novel that is touted as a vehicle for social justice, liberal humanism, and the universal virtues of tolerance, kindness, and fair play, there are few, if any, transcendent principles in play. The novel miniaturizes its social problems by a strategy of containment, a key Cold War objective. Conceived and written in the 1950s, the novel says that we would prefer to think of race as a local issue, of society as religious, of justice as patrimonial, and of politics not at all.
Consider Maycomb, a stationary state and closed society where lemonade is served at mid-morning, contracts are sealed by handshakes, there are no secrets that are not shared, and every issue is local. The story's conceit that one citizen performing his given role is enough to contain a racial crisis. Maycomb is left unchanged by the trial of Tom Robinson and the murder of two citizens. Atticus, the biggest bore among the characters, does not change or develop in any way. Although he moves through the events in a halo of bathos, he is re-elected to the legislature, without opposition, at the end of the story. How courageous was Atticus's famous courage?
Breaches in the tacit social code that holds Maycomb together are referred to the decree of filial authority.The fates of the boys and girls in the Radley, Cunningham, Ewell, and Finch families are entrusted not to the courts, but to the personal discretion of fathers. This is a family narrative that crowds out of its moral optic evenextended relations like Aunt Alexandra and cousin Francis.
Simon Finch, the family patriarch, was a Methodist who came to America fleeing English persecution. He made his way from Philadelphia to Jamaica, then to Alabama. Once there, Simon sinned by purchasing slaves. In defending Tom Robinson, Atticus exorcises the demon of slavery from the Finch family history. Explaining to Scout why he's agreed to defend an accused rapist, he defines his conscience in religious terms. "This case, Tom Robinson's case, is something that goes to the essence of a man's conscience. Scout, I couldn't go to church and worship God if I didn't try to help that man." Tom Robinson has been a member of the First Purchase African Methodist Churchsince he was a boy, the same church to which Calpurnia belongs, and the same denomination as their author. "Surely it is plain to the simplest intelligence that To Kill a Mockingbird spells out in words of seldom more than two syllables a code of honor and conduct, Christian in its ethic, that is the heritage of all Southerners," Miss Lee once wrote. Almost the first move she made when she became wealthy was to earmark an annual percentage of her royalties for the First United Methodist Church of Monroeville, her lifelong congregation.
Of politics, we are not to speak at all, even though Atticus Finch is the town's leading politician. According to Charles J. Shield's Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee, she knew all about the events of 1931, when nine black men were removed from a train in Paint Rock, Alabama, and charged with raping two white women. This was the famous case of the Scottsboro Boys, whose trials lasted until 1937. Their earliest defenders were communists, who were organizing sharecroppers, black and white, across Alabama in the Depression. Tom Robinson's case would have attracted some such notice, though Lee deliberately avoided any hint of radicals. Notice that Atticus is blind in his left eye, that Tom Robinson has a crippled left arm, but that the villain, Bob Ewell, is left-handed!
The style reinforces the conservatism of the message. Lee treats race, sex, violence, and incest, themes familiar in southern literature. But in her style, there is no trace of Eudora Welty's spontaneity, or Flannery O'Connor's comic Christianity. If William Faulkner were writing this story he'd have Atticus sleeping with his black cook, Calpurnia, and Scout as the illegitimate offspring of Miss Maudie. Here, the moralism is as managed as a sermon.
We must not forget this is a book for adolescents, observed by a second-grade girl who uses words like "lineaments" and sees through the evils of the Dewey Decimal System. Are Scout's capacities probable? (This point was debated in the rough cut of the film, which, when released, diminished the children's point of view in favor of Gregory Peck's Atticus, who thereby shifted the locus of the story from the society to the courtroom). Remember, though, that the novel is descended from a genre popularized by Charles Dickens and brought to a kind of perfection by Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer. By seeing the world of adults through the eyes of children, the genre honors the romantic vision of preserving the child in man. Sincerity is the keynote. But unlike in Oliver Twist and Tom Sawyer, which point outward, toward risk and adventure, To Kill a Mockingbird turns inward, toward filiopiety.
The mothersonly appear to be absent from the story. Atticus and his rival, Bob Ewell, are widowers. Attitus compensates with a feminized sense of virtue, but Jem and Scout's dead mother is also symbolized in Boo Radley, the sleeping monster. At the end, when Boo Radley materializes and saves their lives, we learn he's the opposite of a demon. He's a guardian angel, the agent of containment—the theodicy explained by the fiat of the immaterial world. We are asked to believe that an adult man who stabbed his father in the thigh (an attempt at castration) emerges from 25 years of detention with morals and capacities intact. But Boo Radley, the only figure who is untouched by the foul events, stands in for the ghost of the mother, the missing parent.
The first time Boo appears on screen, he's in the Finch home, hiding in a corner behind the door. The camera shows him against a background that includes a framed photograph of the dead mother off to the left. Boo leans down and touches the unconscious Jem. Then Atticus turns to Boo and says, "Thank you for my children." The family circle is now complete.
When the Sheriff and Atticus collude to obstruct justice for Bob Ewell, a move completely at odds with the theme of universal fair-play, we are assured that the community can protect itself without any help from outsiders, a lesson completely at odds with southern history. Fantasists of containment have never had a better friend than Harper Lee.
