Aaron Dwight Stevens
Creator: Hinton, Richard J. (Richard Josiah), 1830-1901
A pen sketch of Aaron Dwight Stevens, 1831-1860, published in Richard Hinton's book, "John Brown and His Men." Stevens, reported to be one of abolitionist John Brown's bravest men, used the alias Captain Charles Whipple while following Brown. Stevens was convicted of treason and conspiring with slaves for his part in Brown's October 16, 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia, and was hung at Charles Town, Virginia on March 16, 1860.
Creator: Reader, Samuel James, 1836-1914
A cyanotype of Aaron Dwight Stevens, 1831-1860, from a drawing made by Samuel J. Reader of Shawnee County, Kansas Territory. Stevens, reported to be one of abolitionist John Brown's bravest men, used the alias Captain Charles Whipple while following Brown. Stevens was convicted of treason and conspiring with slaves for his part in Brown's October 16, 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia, and was hung at Charles Town, Virginia on March 16, 1860.
Creator: Moore, J. S.
A cabinet card of Aaron Dwight Stevens, 1831-1860. Stevens, reported to be one of abolitionist John Brown's bravest men, used the alias Captain Charles Whipple while following Brown. Stevens was convicted of treason and conspiring with slaves for his part in Brown's October 16, 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia, and was hung at Charles Town, Virginia on March 16, 1860.
A. Curtis to William Hutchinson
Creator: Curtis, A.
Curtis reports on the conflict between the Kansas Central Committee and W. F. M. Arny, general agent for the National Kansas Committee, over the distribution of supplies. Curtis claims that Arny issued supplies to individuals who were engaged in speculative ventures and who were not in need of relief. Curtis attaches an itemized list of the supplies that he believes were inappropriately issued by Arny.
Admit Me Free flag
In 1856 this cotton and wool flag was used by Walter Whitehead in a rally at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for Republican presidential nominee John C. Fremont. The oversized 33rd star and the words, "Admit Me Free" in the canton of the flag are in support of Kansas admittance as a free state. It was also used in the 1860 presidential campaign for Abraham Lincoln and other political campaigns.
Affidavits concerning William and Henry Sherman, and Allen Wilkinson
Creator: Grant, John T.
This document contains brief affidavit statements made by several free state supporters of the character and personal habits of William and Henry Sherman, and Allen Wilkinson, who were described as "intemperate" men. William Sherman and Allen Wilkinson were among the five pro-slavery settlers killed in the Pottawatomie Massacre in May, 1856. The document is written in the same hand (suggesting that its statements were either recorded or copied by the same person), and is identified as "Potawatomie, Franklin County, Kansas Territory, June 12, 1856."
A. Finch to Thaddeus Hyatt
Creator: Finch, H.
This letter, written from Osawatomie by A. Finch to Thaddeus Hyatt, chairman of the National Kansas Committee, provided general information about the inhabitants of Osawatomie and neighboring areas. It included a list of about half of the settlers residing in Osawatomie at this time, including the four pro-slavery voters. Mr. Finch went into detail about the most fertile areas that would be excellent sites for free state settlements, and about the economic conditions and financial needs of the settlers.
Albert D. Searl to Thaddeus Hyatt
Creator: Searl, Albert D
The author wrote from Tabor, Iowa to Thaddeus Hyatt, president of the National Kansas Committee. He began the letter by mentioning a skirmish between pro-slavery and free state forces somewhere between Lawrence and Topeka. This correspondence also deals with emigrant settlements within the territory, the shipment of weapons and provisions, and the morale among the emigrants as they struggled to make ends meet. Furthermore, Searl mentioned a great deal about James Lane and his activities within Kansas Territory.
Amos A. Lawrence to Charles Robinson
Creator: Lawrence, Amos Adams
Amos Lawrence writes from Boston, Massachusetts, to advise his friend, Charles Robinson, to submit to the authority of recognized officers of the U.S. government, no matter how unjust their actions appeared. Lawrence suggests that Robinson follow the "Fabian policy" of non-violent, peaceful resistance, and do what he could to discourage "all aggression" on the part of free-state men.
Amos A. Lawrence to Sara Robinson
Amos A. Lawrence writes from New York to state that he believes "Gov. Robinson cannot be harmed by any action of law," but thinks it wise for Sara T. D. Robinson to write a letter to Lawrence's mother "to be kept in reserve." Lawrence included a draft version of that letter but it has not been digitized. Lawrence mentions visits with Congressmen William Howard and John Sherman (Howard Commission) and testimony before a congressional committee. He seems optimistic about the situation in Kansas. [Reprinted in Blackmar, "Life of Charles Robinson," 434.]
An Appeal for Kansas
Creator: Hyatt, Thaddeus
Thaddeus Hyatt, president of the National Kansas Committee,writes this published "appeal" to the New York Tribune editor. It is subtitled "with practical suggestions for its relief." This committee, also known as the Kansas Relief Committee in its early years, worked to send free state settlers into Kansas Territory and to obtain support for Kansas Territory from the Northeast.
An Appeal from the Merchants of Lawrence, Kansas Territory to the Chamber of Commerce, St. Louis, Missouri
Creator: Merchants of Lawrence
Lawrence merchants appeal to the St. Louis business community to take steps to prevent Missourians from invading Kansas Territory. They base their request on the negative impact that the invasions would have on commerce between Missouri and Kansas Territory.
An appeal to the women of the State of New York
Creator: Nichols, Clarinda I. Howard
This circular is written by Clarina Nichols to the women of New York. In her eloquent letter, she attempts to persuade them to send support to the people of Kansas, appealing to their hearts and their experiences as mothers.
Andrew Horatio Reeder
A photograph of a painting depicting Andrew Horatio Reeder as he escaped from Kansas Territory disguised as a woodchopper. The artist probably painted this from a photograph taken upon Reeder's arrival in Chicago, Illinois. Reeder was appointed to serve as territorial governor of Kansas on June 29, 1854, took the oath of office on July 7, 1854, and arrived in Kansas Territory on October 7, 1854. He served to April 17, 1855, and then again from June 23 to August 16, 1855. In 1854, Reeder called for an election to choose a delegate to Congress. On election day, Missourians came in great numbers and, voting illegally, elected a proslavery candidate. This same situation occurred in March, 1855, when an election was called to form a legislature. Early in 1856, Lecompton was designated the territorial capital of Kansas. Sheriff Samuel Jones, a strong proslavery supporter, arrested several free-staters in Lawrence. Several people for whom Jones was looking escaped, including Reeder, who left Kansas dressed as a woodchopper.

Andrew Horatio Reeder to Franklin Crane
Creator: Reeder, Andrew H. (Andrew Horatio), 1807-1864
This letter by Andrew Reeder, former governor of Kansas Territory, was written from Easton, Pennsylvania, where both Reeder and Crane had lived before coming to Kansas. Reeder encloses payment for the taxes on his Topeka lots. He also reports that he has been in Washington, D. C. lobbying for the free-state cause and informs Crane of various issues being discussed in the capitol.
Andrew H. Reeder to Charles Robinson
On February 18, 1856, former Kansas Territorial governor, Andrew Reeder, writes Charles Robinson to advise Robinson of the current situation in Washington, D.C., and to urge caution. Reeder believes that Robinson, and the Topeka movement and legislature, must clearly state that they are organizing a "state government" solely for the purpose of being ready to assume authority if and when Congress admits Kansas Territory to the Union. Reeder believes the "state movement" was on solid constitutional ground if this is its official position in the meantime, and cautions Robinson that they must take care not to usurp the power and authority of the territorial government.
From "Washington City" on February 16, 1856, former Kansas Territory governor Andrew H. Reeder wrote Charles Robinson regarding Reeder's efforts to influence Kansas Territory policy in the nation's capital. Reeder was working through friends, since he no longer had personal influence with President Pierce, and he was not pleased with the president's February 11 proclamation, which he called "the low contemptible trickstering affair which might expected from Pierce, and is like the Special Message [of January 24] a slander on the Free State Party." Nevertheless, Reeder thought it could have been worse and insisted that Robinson and the other free-state leaders "should not organize the State Govt" as Pierce would just use that action to justify aggressive moves to suppress the free state movement.
Andrew H. Reeder to John A. Haldeman
In this letter to John A. Haldeman, Andrew H. Reeder discusses the "sacking of Lawrence," the loss of papers related to the sale on lands that once belonged to Indians, and the use of Haldeman as his agent for his lots in Leavenworth, Kansas. As Reeder's letter indicates, the transition of Indian lands into the hands of white settlers was often quite difficult and added to tension levels in Kansas in the wake of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.
Andrew H. Reeder to John A. Halderman
Former Kansas Territory Governor Andrew H. Reeder writes to John Halderman from Easton, Pennsylvania, regarding his business affairs and his desire to have Halderman act as his attorney and agent. Reeder also gives brief attention to the political situation in Kansas Territory and the nation, mentioning the congressional committee investigating the Kansas affairs, the "horrible state of things . . .in our unfortunate Territory," and his belief that, although James Buchanan would win the presidential contest in 1856, "the Republican party is bound to sweep the North within the next four years."
The former governor writes this letter from Easton, Pennsylvania, to his former secretary and attorney, John A. Halderman, in order to secure Halderman's services to retrieve some personal papers and settle some matters of business pertaining to town lots and shares. According to Reeder, "the Sheriff posse at the sacking of Lawrence broke open my trunk and stole the contents. The clothing is probably by this time worn out," and he is not concerned about other contents, with the exception of "some private papers" that someone had informed him could be retrieved. He asks Halderman to get the papers, which included "certificates of stock in Leavenworth, Tecumseh, Lecompton, Lawrence, Easton, Pawnee" etc., and then take care of business matters that are reflected therein. Reeder also asks Halderman "to attend to my Leavenworth lots" and explains in considerable detail about these matters.
Andrew H. Reeder to William Hutchinson
This letter from Andrew H. Reeder to William Hutchinson describes Reeder's efforts to raise money for the Free State cause in his travels through the northern states.
Andrew J. Mead to John A. Haldeman
In this letter to John A. Haldeman, Andrew J. Mead asks if he knows of a portion of the Wyandotte Float that was available for sale. The Wyandotte Floats were originally set aside for the Wyandotte Tribe. However, the flexible nature of the Floats allowed them to be more easily transferred to white settlers once the U.S. Government decided to remove Native Indians from the newly created territories of Kansas and Nebraska.

Emotive New York City rockers Bayside keep churning out albums with frightening consistency every couple of years. Always subtle, never extravagant, yet always depth-laden and sublime in their execution of emotionally charged punk/alternative rock, they might be one of the most criminally underrated bands of our generation if we're looking back at their past six albums. "Vacancy", their seventh album, continues along the same lines and might even be their second best album overall after the modern emo classic, "The Walking Wounded".
Much like past efforts, "Vacancy" still balances on a razor-thin line between emo, punk, and alternative rock. It's the loudest and fastest Bayside album in a while, yet paradoxically also one of their most accessible albums, specifically because it's not as dark nor as driven by subtlety as their past few efforts. Anthony Raneri's signature style vocals filled with raw nostalgia will make longtime Bayside fans feel right at home, yet the dynamic riffs and inventive melodies will likely draw a legion of new fans in their direction, especially considering there isn't a single filler on this record. "Mary" is in contest for the best song of their career, the quirky, scaling melodies of "Pretty Vacant" underline the intellectual depth of this band instrumentally that rivals their lyrical wizardry, and the upbeat, semi-aggressive tone of "Rumspringa (Heartbreak Road)" showcases the subtle variety the band has always been able to offer.
It's hit after hit of some of the best emo/punk/rock you'll hear in 2016, delivered in classic Bayside style that makes symbolically few alterations to their sound. After all, their core concept has always revolved around subtlety, whether regarding quirky lyricism or even quirkier vocal melodies coupled with strong, powerful guitar sound and crisp production values. Granted, that cocktail has always made Bayside an acquired taste for most, because the strength of their melodies isn't immediately apparent from the first listen. Raneri's unique vocal style combined with their laid-back expression -- one that echoes Alkaline Trio and Smoking Popes' equivalent soundscapes -- has always been problematic for those seeking instant gratification from their listening habits.
That is also the case here on "Vacant", however, this time it is coupled with exceptionally good songs that, on any standards, approach brilliant when it comes to this genre and perhaps beyond. But that said, you know exactly what you're getting here: minimal adjustments to their sound, but eight songs and thirty minutes worth of smart, challenging tunes that should be on any credible top ten list this year.

Contras Score Military Gains Inside Nicaragua
Report Americas
August 31, 1987 3 min read Download Report
Thomas Dewey
(Archived document, may contain errors)
8/31/87 174
I n Nicaragua's civil war, the democratic forces, popularly known as the Contras, have been making impressive. m ilitary and political gains. Today some 14,000 Contras are fighting 'in approximately half of Nicaragua. Their ability to sustain operations in such a large portion of the Nicaraguan territory is a solid indicator of the high degree of support that they e n joy among the rural population. Since the Contras began military operations five years ago, they have grown from a force of a few hundred to an experienced, well-trained, and high@y disciplined force of more than 14,000. Most of them are peasants. Sandini s ta defectors account for about half of the resistance forces. In the first half of this year, the Contras had 1,360 military contacts with the Sandinistas, a total higher than that for all of 1986. Through this July, the Contras have destroyed 55 military posts and temporary bases of the !Sandinista army, 15 bridges, 142 poles and transmission line towers, 83 military trucks, five jeeps, and nine pick-up trucks. In the same period, the Contras shot down at least tive helicopters made and provided by the So v iet Union. Of these, two were A41-24s, commonly known as flying tanks; three were HIP models, generally used for carrying troops. Other seriously damaged Soviet helicopters included ifour MI-24s, one MI- 17, and one MI-8. In addition, two more helicopters have been downed this month. This has been a significant blow to the Sandinista army, given its heavy reliance on air power to attack the democratic resistance. Passin the TesL An ability to carry out coordinated attacks on major military targets is a key test of a fighting force. The Contras have passed this test. They have conducted six major attacks during the past four months. One of these was on San Jose de Bocay on July 16. San Jose de Bocay is the main Sandinista army base in the north-central regio n of Nicaragua and thus is heavily defended. The Contras, however, penetrated the Sandinistas' defenses and destroyed several military installations. To carry out this assault the rebels brought together and combined the efforts of a number of different co mbat units operating in the region.
There is evidence that in zones of heavy comba t the Sandinista army is being forced on the defensive. The Contras have seized tactical initiative and the Sandinistas -are now reacting. The Sandinistas appear to have been forced to withdraw from the battlefield some high-value military equipment, such as PT-76 amphibious tanks and some heavy artillery. They apparently feared that these would be captured or destroyed by the Contras. A major Contra success has been political unification. After years of division and political strife, the major Contra orgW n = .ons assembled i in Miami in May, where th@y established a unified anti-Sandinista front: the Nicaraguan Resistance (NR). This organization, democratically elected by a 54-member assembly and represented by a 7-member directorate, includes and unites al l sectors of the democratic opposition fighting against the Sandinistas. All the I Contra forces were consolidated under one military command, the Nicaraguan Resistance Army (NRA). The NRA, in turn, is under the authority of the civilian directorate of the Resistance. Popular SupporL The Resistance, meanwhile, has won the support of the majority of Central Americans. A Costa Rican affiliate of Gallup International conducted a survey in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Costa Rica (in Nicaragua surveys a r e forbidden) to explore how Central Americans feel about the Contras. Among the survey's results are the following: Three-fourths of all Central Americans view the Soviet Union as responsible for fomenting violence in the region. The majority of Central A m ericans believe that the anti-Sandinista rebels enjoy the support of the Nicaraguan people. Two-thirds of the Central Americans approve of the U.S. military and humanitarian aid to the Nicaraguan Resistance. Another Gallup survey recently published in Cos t a Rica, shows that approximately 80 percent of Costa Ricans have little or no confidence that the Sandinistas will comply with the current peace plan. While the Nicaraguan Resistance is making military and political gains, the Sandinistas are losig some o f their international support. West Germany, for example, is one of the nations that has decided to put an end to an important aid program to the Sandinista regime. France also has reduced -earlier aid commitments to Nicaragua. In June, the Netherlands ann ounced that it was reducing economic aid to Nicaragua by about 50 percent. The decision was taken because the Netherlands is convinced that Zlvil and human rights consistently are violated in Nicaragua. Jorge Salaverry Policy Analyst

With Seattle's 'Safe Lots' for RVs All But Gone, Campers Are Creating Their Own
A new, unauthorized homeless camp is trying to get organized.
By Casey Jaywork • May 15, 2017 10:32 am
Tags: Homelessness

Remember Mayor Ed Murray's "safe lots" for RVs? The plan was to create specific locations where people living in recreational vehicles could park for more than three days at a time, which is typically how often they have to move to avoid parking citations on city streets. The project mostly fizzled out last year after staggering cost overruns, though there is still one operating at or near capacity in SoDo.
On Thursday, a group of RV campers moved into a vacant property in southwest Seattle belonging to the state Department of Transportation. Their goal is to create an organized, sustainable community that doesn't suffer from the trash or violence many people associate with homeless encampments. Most or all of the camp denizens have been evicted from other campsites previously. City authorities say this new camp is in an inappropriate location, but it's also not a priority for immediate removal in comparison to some other unauthorized camps. According to a camper I spoke to, there are about 20 RVs on site as of Monday morning, as well as a van and some cars.
The situation bears a striking resemblance to the genesis of Camp Second Chance, which lies about a mile and a half due south of the WSDOT site. Today, C2C is an authorized, city-sponsored encampment moving people into housing. But a little less than a year ago, after bouncing around between other sites, the upstart encampment faced impending eviction by city authorities. By organizing to keep the site safe and tidy, the C2C campers were able to garner enough support in the media and among elected officials to get a stay of eviction, and eventually city sponsorship.
The RV campers at the WSDOT site hope to emulate that strategy. But who are they? And where did they come from?
One month ago, Rebecca Massey needed help moving her car. It's a battered old sedan that doesn't run. With the help of a burly mechanic hired by Union Gospel Mission, Massey was able to pull her car out of the dirt rut in which it was parked, beneath the West Seattle Bridge. Massey was moving because city authorities were evicting her and all the other campers in Trollsville, as they called their home:
After fleeing Trollsville, Massey and other campers moved their cars, trailers, and RVs to a side-street near Spokane Street and some railroad tracks in SoDo. They were hoping that these new sites were well-enough hidden and insulated from residential housing to avoid eviction. But it was not to be. On Monday last week, Seattle police posted 72 hour notice for the campers to move along. Many of the vehicles, like Massey's, do not run and had to be towed, according to campers.
"We tried to find a property where we would be off the streets, where we wouldn't have to abide by that 72 hour rule," said Massey Thursday afternoon.
The location they moved those vehicles to is the WSDOT property in southwest Seattle, near the First Avenue South Bridge. It's a muddy field, mostly empty but for some piles of what looks like scrap material—sections of giant pipe, stacks of metal blocks. And now there are also about 20 RVs. The entire area is surrounded by fencing and trees except for one gated entrance. It's an industrial area, with no nearby homes. Nearly a decade ago, the same site hosted the original Nickelsville for two months, according to SHARE.
Although the site belongs to WSDOT, Sgt. Courtney Stewart with the Washington State Patrol said Thursday that "we've basically given jurisdiction to the city" in terms of handling the RV campers. According to Seattle Human Services Department spokesperson Julie Moore, the WSDOT site isn't "an appropriate place" for the RVs, but city eviction teams won't prioritize it for removal. "The Navigation Team visited the site to assess the situation this morning," said Moore via email Friday. "The City prioritizes encampment removals based on several issues, including health and safety. The City has been focusing its efforts on mitigating the most hazardous encampments." The criteria for "most hazardous," she said, include whether there are tents, the physical safety of the location, trash, hazardous structures, "negative behaviors," and public health threats. Moore said that for the next two weeks, city eviction teams will concentrate on camps along I-90 and Rainier Avenue/Dearborn Street.
After driving up in his revamped RV Thursday, Matt Irvin worked with his dad to set up a tent by the front gate of the encampment that Irvin says will work as a security checkpoint. He says he's been living on the streets, and occassionally in the Jungle (until someone tried to kill him with a machete, he says), since he lost his job as a machinist after the 2008 financial crash.
Over the past two months, Irvin estimates that he's been evicted by auhorities "probably 15 times. It's like having to clear out of a hotel room."
Irvin's father has a white mustache and the no-nonsense bearing of a lifetime blue collar worker. He says he came out to help his son. "Nobody would care that they were here," says Irvin's father, referring to unauthorized homeless encampments in Seattle generally, "… if they wouldn't throw their garbage everywhere." He also blames authorities for displacing campers from the Jungle into surrounding neighborhoods last year. "Shutting it down, that just pushed them out everywhere," he says.
Tracy Olson is a vehicle camper who was still in SoDo Thursday evening, after most campers had already moved to the muddy WSDOT property. A tiny dog's head stuck out of the front of her jacket, where she held it and covered its ears when a train came past. "Why we leave messes," she said, "is because [authorities] scare us and make us move fast. If we didn't have to move [out of the site] fast, we'd pick it up. If there was dumpsters …we'd put our garbage away."
Campers at the WSDOT property say their goal is to organize into a self-policing community based on shared rules, rather than devolving into the anarchic squalor that devoured the Field. Gizmo—a middle aged man who, like Massey, was evicted from Trollsville last month and from SoDo last week—hopes that the isolated location of the camp will make it more palatable to traditional opponents of homeless campers.
"If we can get the people in Seattle who are tired of people parking in their neighborhoods with RVs or people camping in their local park, they would maybe support us," says Gizmo. "If it's not here, we're going to start getting pushed out into residential neighborhoods."
We interviewed Paige Conca last year, when she was living in the Jungle where she cared for a friend. Once authorities opened up the nearby Field as a dumping ground for refugees from the Jungle, Conca voluntarily moved in. Since they evicted the Field in March, Conca says, "I've been bouncing around … just trying to find places I can stay with somebody." Now—or at least as of Thursday afternoon—she is living in the back of Gizmo's van, parked in that muddy WSDOT property in southwest Seattle. All of the campers I spoke to are hoping they've found somewhere they can stay for a while.
It's been a while since they found such a place. Michelle, a 45-year-old camper who did not want to give her last name, says that she's been living in an RV for two years with her husband. "We were relatively fine there for almost four months, but now we have to move every 72 hours," she says. Megan Miller lives in her RV with at least one kitten. She says during one six-month period, "I had to move a good, like, twenty times. … There was one time when I got posted on an hour after I got there."
Thursday's sweep in SoDo wasn't a sweep, technically. That is, the normal homeless encampment eviction process carried out by Seattle police and a few other executive departments did not occur. The mayor's Navigation Team did not show up, nor did counselors from REACH.
So what happened? Parking violations. Seattle police officers posted 72-hour notices on vehicles in SoDo on Monday morning. The notices warned that if campers didn't get out by Wednesday, their vehicles would be impounded.
"There was no encampment cleanup effort going on in SoDo [last] week displacing these individuals, as has been suggested," said HSD's Moore via email. "Any notices about RVs needing to move would have been issued by SPD parking enforcement." Rather than clearing out SoDo, she points out, the city's Navigation Team is currently busy clearing out encampments along I-90 near Sturgus Park.
Camper Thiago Cross, who also bounced from Trollsville to SoDo to now the WSDOT property, isn't satisfied with that answer. He suggests that this kind of parking notice blitz gives Seattle authorities a loophole for getting around normal homeless camp eviction rules. "They're subverting their own policy by saying 'This has nothing to do with sweeps,' but it's a sweep," he said. "It's technically not a sweep, but it's a sweep."
On Friday, the presiding judge at Seattle Municipal Court disagreed with a variation of that argument. Judge Karen Donahue rejected legal arguments from a homeless man who argued that Seattle violated his constitutional rights by towing his broken but fixable pickup truck, one week after SPD placed a 72 hour notice to move it. The man "spent part of the early morning hours of October 13 trying to make a shelter" with some tarps and bicycles, then gave up and went to a homeless shelter. Donahue ruled that because the man could have moved his truck (either by fixing it or getting help pushing it) to another block, he chose to violate city parking laws and is subject the same sanctions as anyone else. An attorney with one of the firms representing the man says they expect to appeal the ruling.
Here's a map of some of the places the RV campers now at the WSDOT site have bounced between since Mayor Ed Murray evicted the Jungle last year:

2004 was a good year for doing business in most transition economies, the World Bank Group concluded in its Doing Business in 2005 survey, the second in its series tracking regulatory reforms aimed at improving the ease of doing business in the world's economies. However, the survey found that conditions for starting and running a business in poorer countries were consistently more burdensome than in richer countries.
The top 5 economies on the ease of doing business were, in order: New Zealand, United States, Singapore, Hong Kong (China), and Australia.
Slovakia was the leading reformer, together with Lithuania breaking into the list of the 20 economies with the best business conditions.
The major impetus for reform in 2003 was competition in the enlarged European Union.

Berean Prison Ministry: Anyone Want To GRADE?
We had 2 tubs of mail today for Berean and most of them were lessons. We have 6 FULL tubs of lessons at the Peoria church all needing grading and by the end of today 2 more tubs of lessons to be take somewhere for grading. The grading isn't hard, we have answer keys, most people that start grading end up enjoying this job and we really really need help. The prisoners are now writing letters asking for their graded lessons to be returned. Some of them have been waiting over a month. PLEASE consider helping. If you are from one of the other AC churches and know of someone coming to visit here or someone from here going to visit there we would be thrilled to send a box of studies to be graded. We can email the answer keys. We know Roanoke is out and will be sending a box to them on Thursday. Princeville will probably get a new box either Tuesday or Thursday but there is more than enough lessons to spread around 10 churches. Below are a few pictures of the volunteers that came in to help today.
Above Chuck, Marvin and Bruce are opening studies at the first table while Glenna, Vonnie and mom are working on the second table. Below Marie's father-in-law (Brian's dad) and her nephew have come all the way from Forrest, IL to help with this program.
The readers today were Marvin, David, and Kathy. Ruth was put to work entering on the computer.
In the other room Sarah, Marie and Megan were hard at work separating the studies and by the time we finished entering the last of the study labels they had almost finished them all and stuffed most of the envelopes. Justin and Timothy were keeping the copy machine running non-stop. We needed to order another 10 boxes of paper. This office churns out the studies so fast we are going through reams and reams of paper. That copy machine really gets a workout.
We broke for lunch just a few minutes after noon. Mom was good enough to prepare the lunch AND clean it all up after we finished eating so the rest of us could go back to work.
We were pretty much all done by 1:00 pm except for entering the Bible requests. There were around 200 hundred of those. Thinking it would be a breeze for Diane and I to enter those on Thursday, Cindy was sent a text that maybe we could take work off tomorrow UNTIL I talked to Diane and she reminded me that I would probably not be there on Thursday. Marika and her colt may be able to come home that day and I would need to travel to the University of IL to pick them up. She went in at 4:15 am Saturday morning for an emergency C section.

Social Media, Marketing Strategy
How Weird Al Got Viral
By Heather Fletcher
Facebook Facebook Twitter Twitter LinkedIn LinkedIn Email Email 1 Comment Comments
He's not ill. He's just "Tacky." The artist known as Weird Al went viral with his song parodies, starting on July 14 with "Tacky," sung to the melody of Pharrell's "Happy." He's releasing eight videos in eight days, ending today, in order to promote his album, "Mandatory Fun."
What this has to do with marketers is Alfred Matthew Yankovic is managing to orchestrate virality. His videos are all over Twitter, YouTube and various blog sites. His second song—"Word Crimes," a satire of "Blurred Lines"—was at the top of my tailored trends feed on July 15, even though Yankovic's hashtag is #8videos8days. (Twitter is right: As a journalist, I do find word crimes particularly abhorrent; therefore, Weird Al's song is funny.)
Lucia Moses, senior editor at Digiday, thinks she has the formula for marketers to follow in order to create the same Weird Al success. In her article published on July 17, "The Weird Al Guide to Modern Marketing," she provides five tips:
Stick With What You Do Best. "Weird Al Yankovic's first music parody was 'My Bologna,' a riff on The Knack's "My Sharona," which he made in 1979 as a college student," she writes. That was 35 years ago.
Build Suspense. Unless fans buy the 12-song album he released Yankovic released on July 15, they won't have a clue what may be in the eight videos.
Use Earned Media. Like this.
Use Your Friends. He partnered with College Humor, Funny or Die and Nerdist to put out the videos, in which friends like Jack Black, Margaret Cho and Thomas Lennon appeared.
Timing Is Everything. It's the age of satire, Moses says.
If Yankovic were to add a bonus tip, he might say "Continue to Evolve."
Considering this is his last album on his current record contract, he's thinking about the future. He thinks putting out singles makes more sense, as he tells Music Times.

UConn women's rowing team gets day in court in request for temporary restraining order to keep school from cutting program
By Lori Riley
Lawyers for the UConn women's rowing team argued in federal court in Bridgeport Thursday that a temporary restraining order should be issued against the university to prevent the school from cutting the team until the hearing on the motion for a preliminary injunction scheduled for Aug. 2.
The case was heard before U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill, who said he would issue a ruling soon. The ruling will likely happen before the end of the month.
On April 28, 12 UConn women's rowers filed a federal Title IX lawsuit in U.S. District Court to stop the school from eliminating the sport. UConn announced last June the team would be cut after its last competition this spring, which was last weekend – along with men's tennis and swimming and diving and men's cross country teams – due to budget cuts.
UConn rowers, coach Jennifer Sanford and Title IX expert Donna Lopiano testified for the plaintiffs Thursday.
Felice Duffy, one of the lawyers for the plaintiffs, asked for a restraining order in order to keep the program afloat this summer in advance of the preliminary injunction hearing. The contracts of the assistant coaches will expire at the end of May and Sanford, whose contract is up in July, would not be able to recruit athletes for next year or make a schedule for the spring rowing season if the program was shuttered until early August. Rowers also must decide if they wish to transfer; coaches would need to look for other employment if the program was shelved.
The two sides argued Thursday about the way participation numbers were tallied, a key component in Title IX compliance, with Lopiano using rosters from the school's website, which she said were the most accurate. Lopiano also used 2018-19 numbers because the numbers were skewed a bit the last two years due to COVID-19.
[ UConn women's rowing files Title IX lawsuit, seeks temporary restraining order ]
"Institutions have become more artful in getting around the law," Lopiano said. "Each case you have to look behind the numbers more than you did 15-20 years ago."
Lawyers for the plaintiffs also argued that UConn is inflating its roster sizes to appear to comply with Title IX – a claim the UConn lawyers denied - citing testimony by Sanford that she was asked to carry 60 rowers when she began coaching the team in 1997 but that a viable Division I rowing team only needs between 40-45 rowers. The school would count the team numbers on the first day of competition, after which some rowers would get cut or drop off the team.
Rowing is the second largest sport at UConn after football and was added when football upgraded to Division I-A to keep the school in compliance with Title IX.
"Some schools are required to keep more than 60," Sanford said in testimony Thursday. "It's very common knowledge in the rowing world – rowing is the numbers sport."
Lopiano stated that the school was not in compliance prior to the cuts, nor after the cuts because there was still a negative female participation gap.
Duffy is a Title IX lawyer who successfully fought to establish a women's soccer team as a student at UConn in 1979 and was joined by Claire Diallo, who represented swimmers at the University of Iowa who fought to have their program reinstated.
On March 29, UConn rowing alumnae filed a Title IX complaint against UConn with the Office of Civil Rights.

Crudo (en inglés Crude) es un documental estadounidense de 2009, producido y dirigido por Joe Berlinger, en el que se relata el caso de una demanda colectiva contra Chevron Corporation, en Ecuador, por contaminación con petróleo.

Sinopsis
Durante 2006 y 2007 la película sigue el caso legal contra Chevron Corporation, por $27 mil millones en indemnizaciones y costas. Por los Campos Petroleros de Lago Agrio. Este caso es conocido como el Chernobyl Amazónico.

En esta demanda colectiva los demandantes son 30.000 ecuatorianos, que viven en la selva amazónica. Y reclaman indemnizaciones y reparaciones por la contaminación de la industria del petróleo. En la película se muestran los daños producidos, contaminación a la tierra y el agua, y se muestran daños a la salud como cáncer, leucemia, erupciones en la piel de infantes y otros.
En adición a esta lucha legal Crudo, muestra entrevistas de ambos lados, explora la influencia del caso en los medios, militancia de celebridades, el poder de las corporaciones multinacionales, el desplazamiento del poder político ecuatoriano, y la rápida desaparición de la cultura originaria envuelta en el caso. La película concluye con la predicción de que el caso no será resuelto por una década o menos.
