Q: Passing undeclared props to child component (like ...args) I am making a wrapper component for a Vue component.
For example, I want to wrap Quasar's q-input (let's say because I am doing some custom styling:
// q-input-wrapper.vue
<template>
  <q-input v-model="inputValue" label="Some Label">
</template>

But then I want q-input-wrapper to be able to accept all props that q-input supports. I do not want to re-declare all of them in q-input-wrapper.vue.
Is there a way to bind props that are passed in q-input-wrapper for q-input to consume?
Example:
<q-input-wrapper color="blue" icon="mail" class="some-class" style="some-style: value" />

color, icon are both q-input props and I do not want to explicitly declare them as q-input-wrapper's props but still want to use them.
Probably something similar to how ...args work?

A: You can pass along any props with v-bind="$attrs" and any listeners with v-on="$listeners":
<template>
  <q-input v-model="inputValue" label="Some Label"
    v-bind="$attrs"
    v-on="$listeners"
  />
</template>

At approximately 6 months of age, our babies' first teeth begin to break through the gums. Usually, the first two teeth to erupt are the bottom front teeth. Next, the top four front teeth emerge. After that, other teeth slowly begin to fill in, usually in pairs -- one each side of the upper or lower jaw -- until all 20 teeth come in. The best time to bring your child to the dentist is around 3 years of age. Begin teaching them to brush when the first teeth erupt. Even if the baby only plays with the toothbrush in their mouth, it gets them used to a routine of brushing two to three times a day. And remember…do not use toothpaste until the child is older because you don't want them to "eat" the toothpaste.

The week-long exercises called Han Kuang test the capabilities of the Taiwanese armed forces to repel a possible invasion of the Chinese armed forces.
After participating in one of the exercises, the Bell 0H-58D Kiowa that belonged to the Aviation and Special Forces Command returned to Hsinchu Air Force Base where it made a hard landing. The aircraft caught fire upon impact.
The pilot and co-pilot on board were both recovered by the firefighters and were transported to the base's hospital, where they both died of their injuries.
All helicopters of the Republic of China Army (ROCA) are grounded while the cause of the incident is being investigated. It is the third hard landing of an OH-58D Kiowa in the last two years, and the first one to be fatal, according to Taiwan News.
On January 2, 2020, the crash of a UH-60M Blackhawk helicopter of the Taiwanese Air Force (ROCAF) during a flight between two bases killed Taiwan's chief of the general staff.

Today on the cannabis penny stocks market we are looking at Aleafia Health Inc. and Cannex Capital Holdings Inc. Both are Vancouver-based, but one is up, and one is down.
Aleafia Health is in the red. At the time of writing, the company is down almost 4.5%, and shares are valued at $3.20 CAD. This is somewhat surprising as Aleafia has become one of the most watched penny stocks as of late.
The cannabis penny stock company is gunning for a NASDAQ listing and even submitted an application to the body and the SEC only last week.
A listing would expand its shareholder base, make it more attractive to institutional investors, and "provide unparalleled liquidity and place Aleafia among a small handful of Canadian cannabis companies." It would join the ranks of fellow major exchanger listees Canopy Growth Corp (NYSE:CGC) and Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY).
Along with a potential listing, which would "rapidly accelerate" business plans, the company is expecting a sizeable yield of 38,000 kilograms of cannabis flower next year.
Currently, Vancouver-based Aleafia lists on the Toronto Stock Venture Exchange. This cannabis penny stock has some ways to go yet. Only beginning to show its potential, it hit its all-time high of $3.97 in September.
In the green today, Cannex Capital could be showing potential. Currently up a whopping 12.50% on the day, and selling for $0.72 CAD, this cannabis penny stock is definitely one to watch.
Vancouver's Cannex Capital reported its fiscal Q1 2019, finished on July 31st. The results showed a revenue of $3.4 million USD and EBITDA of $1.8 million.

EKOS's weekly poll is out, and my apologies for the late post. As the Easter Weekend interrupted EKOS's polling, the sample size is much smaller than usual. Now, before you look at these numbers and say "huge MOE!", remember that most other pollsters survey about 1,000 people. Only EKOS, and recently Harris-Decima, go for 2,000+ people. So, though these numbers definitely look wonky, they shouldn't be any more wonky than results we see from Angus-Reid, Ipsos-Reid, or Nanos.
However, with such odd results from a pollster that is always consistent, one must come to the conclusion that EKOS's polling is consistent because of the sample size and not their method. For them to show such weird numbers in British Columbia and the Prairies leads me to believe that their method is actually a little worse than other pollsters. What they bring to the table is large sample sizes, which can overcome most methodological deficiencies.
Anyway, to the poll.
The Conservatives are up 1.4 points to 33.6%, a good result for them. The Liberals are up 0.3 points to 27.3%, while the New Democrats are down 0.1 points to 15.9%. The Greens are down one to 11.7%, and "Other" is down 1.3 points to 1.8%.
In Ontario, the Conservatives are up five points to 39.5%, while the Liberals are down one to 31.8%. This is a huge spread, and very worrisome. But then again, Harris-Decima had things the other way around yesterday. The NDP is up one to 16%.
In Quebec, the Bloc Québécois is up three to 39.4% and the Liberals are up two to 23.6%. The Conservatives are steady at 17% and the NDP is down two to 9.6%. Good results for the Bloc, bad for everyone else.
In British Columbia, well, the NDP is up five to 29.5% and move into first. Oddly enough, the Conservatives are unchanged at 28.8%. The Liberals drop 10 to 19.6%, and the Greens are up five to 18.2%.
In the smaller regions, the Liberals lead in Atlantic Canada with 38.1% (up five), while the Conservatives are up eight to 36.1% and the NDP is down five to 20.3%. In Alberta, things are relatively unchanged with the Tories at 55.7%, but in the Prairies we get a throw-away result. The Liberals gain 14 points and are at 35.2%, while the Conservatives drop 16 points to 32.8%. The NDP is up five to 18.6%. What is going on on the plains?!?
The Conservatives win 59 seats in the West, 57 in Ontario (can you imagine the Conservative Ontario caucus being as large as the Western caucus?), 7 in Quebec, and 10 in Atlantic Canada for a total of 133.
The Liberals win 18 in the West (seven of them in the miracle Prairies), 36 in Ontario, 15 in Quebec, and 20 in Atlantic Canada for a total of 89.
The Bloc wins 53 seats in Quebec.
The NDP wins 17 seats in the West, 13 in Ontario, and 2 in Atlantic Canada for a total of 32.
The Greens win 1 seat in the West (British Columbia).
At the very least, it's fun to see something different in an EKOS poll.

Jean and Tommy said: "We attended together after being referred by our practice nurse. It was marvellous; we couldn't fault them at all. Whoever chose them for their jobs made the perfect choice. We had a great time and good banter with everyone who attended, including the volunteers. It was a relaxed and lovely atmosphere.

Aesop was an African storyteller who lived in ancient Greece. He used tales about animals and nature to teach important life lessons and morals. These stories are now known around the world.
This book contains 101 of Aesop's best fables, accompanied by over fifty world-class illustrations. As you'll see these fables are written for children, but their lessons are just as relevant for today's adults!
Aesop's Fables are both universal and timeless, making this book a perfect centerpiece for families (and classrooms!)during a shared reading and discussion time.

Writing for the Journal
Framing the Issue
MinneTESOL Journal
Vol. 34(Issue 2)
You likely noticed that this Fall 2018 Issue of the MinneTESOL Journal has been posted in a newly redesigned website. We have worked over the past few months to update the journal's look and navigation. We have also made changes to the infrastructure of the website making it easier to bring new issues to you. The work deepened our appreciation for the efforts of past Senior Editors Kimberly Johnson and Anne Dahlman, whose vision for the MinneTESOL Journal as a high quality and dynamic online practitioner journal set a high bar for our work. We hope that you will feel at home in this new space as you did in past years.
The issue includes two articles that focus on reading materials for language learners in K12 contexts. Aaron Mermelstein reviews literature describing representation of gender in children's literature. Mermelstein emphasizes the point that representation can have a deep impact on the identity of language learners in the classroom. Meur describes a study on the use of retells and memory recalls to explore English learners' comprehension when working in graphic novels.
In support of practitioners working with adult English language learners who may have had exposure to traumatic events, we include an article by Rachel Johnson. Johnson shares research reporting on evidence-based strategies that target attention and memory networks, interventions that can have a significant impact on brain mechanisms for language learning and therefore can help mitigate the effects of trauma on learning.
We also include an article by Heather Camp that makes the case for incorporating off-campus learning experiences into international students' second language instruction at the college level. Camp describes the impact of acculturation and authentic language use on language proficiency development and shares an example from her own work in classrooms.
Finally, we include two articles that describe institutions central to development and ongoing support of ESL teachers in the state of Minnesota. Patsy Egan and Betsy Parrish present the work of the ATLAS at Hamline University, describing how preparing ESL teachers is central to their work providing Adult Basic Education professional development. Elaine Tarone's article traces the development of programming and historical context for current ESL teaching and learning programs at the University of Minnesota. In this important piece, Tarone ensures that the history of TESOL in our state will not be forgotten.
One final note; this issue also marks a transition in our technical editing. Darren LaScotte worked together with Jen Vanek on posting this issue and the transition of the journal to the new website. He will take on the role of Technical Editor going forward. Jen Vanek will remain engaged with the journal as Senior Editor (one role is enough!). We are grateful to have Darren onboard and look forward to working with him on issues to come.

An important Guardian article about ethnicity in children's books. | Space Bugs and Selfies!
So, I think it was last week I read an article in the guardian about some research that showed only 1% of children's books had a main character from an ethnic minority. I mean, that's just shocking really isn't it? If you consider how diverse the UK is as a country.
When I wrote Space Bugs and Selfies! I released it was an opportunity to have a main character who wasn't the usual little white girl. But also, I didn't want to make the book about that, it's by-the-by that she's not white. It's not mentioned because it doesn't matter. It is just is. She just is.
Anyway, the article is a great, if slightly sad read.


How would you define a good film without getting involved in its subtext? Probably the simplest answer is: If it holds your attention till the end credits, it's a good film. Happy New Year gives you enough reasons to stay inside the hall. But whether all those sequences come together to make a composite whole or reduce the film to yet another mindless potboiler, depends entirely on your perception.
There're spoilers ahead, so you're requested to come back to this review after watching the film. But if you don't mind a bit of advance information, don't stop reading now.
Charlie (Shah Rukh '8-pack abs' Khan) is secretly putting together a deadly team to avenge the death of his father Manohar (Anupam Kher in an 'emotional appearance': this is how the opening credit introduces him), and the villain of his life is Charan Grover (Jackie Shroff). Nandu Bhide (Abhishek Bachchan), the vomiting expert, Mohini (Deepika Padukone), a boneless bar dancer, Jagmohan (Sonu Sood), the Bollywood version of Bacher from Ocean's 11, Tammy (Boman Irani), 'jagat' uncle, and Rohan (Vivvan Shah), the expert hacker, are Charlie's aides and together they set out on a task to give Charan the biggest shock of his life. However, the only problem is Dabbo DC: basically WDC, or World Dance Championship, sponsored by Charan.
Needless to say, this is also Charlie's last chance.
Never mind the forced urgency here. Just a few minutes into the film's beginning and you cannot but not think of it's stark resemblance to Hollywood's Ocean's 11 series. But it's Farah Khan's baby, and therefore it must have the mandatory 'formula' and all those old Bollywood references. So, it becomes more like Manmohan Desai going the Hollywood way. Just for the reference, Farah had categorically mentioned the value of Manmohan Desai brand of cinema in Om Shanti Om and HNY seems like an extension.
Danny..errr..Charlie assembles and assigns a role to everyone in his team according to their calibre and image in Bollywood. Now, what does that mean? This means money is not the strongest reason that keeps them together. There's a family angle to it. Something which has become obscure in the Hindi film industry some ten years ago with the arrival of new age directors. Once everybody's clear about the reason, the only thing that can potentially bother the writers is the binding of chunks.
This is where the importance of SRK's brand value comes into play, but what a bad way to showcase it? The extremely unimaginative writing in this part makes the characters utter famous dialogues from SRK's films. At this juncture, the director seems so full of herself and Shah Rukh Khan that Happy New Year becomes the collage of many mediocre Bollywood moments.
Anyway, Shah Rukh Khan, who clearly understands the difference between playing a street fighter and a con artist in two consecutive sequences, tones down his skills to fit into the scheme of things. It's not bad for his fellow actors who get an opportunity to bloom and display their respective talents, but it hampers his acting graph. Leave acting graph, it's his individual choice, but the character graph also suffers because of it. The eruption point is not at a higher ground than the original point and there is not much displacement either. Either you go like Danny Ocean who knew from the first moment that money is his topmost priority, or you go like Sardar Khan who lived for revenge. Blending both means it has become a sharp edge which will test the depth of your screenplay.
Come to the screenplay. It would have become more gripping if it was original because then you have an unseen path to tread on. Here, the basics are taken from other films and then they are churned out together. What suffers badly in this process is the novelty of the idea and presentation.
The tempo rises but in a very restricted way. The sheen of a villain's deeds fades in order to pave way for the hero's brand building. To be precise, the bad guy fails to communicate his evil thought process because the hero eats up his screen time. The director is still not ready for any introspection, as one of the character says, "Olympic ke liye players aur Oscars ke liye losers!" Do you think there was any pun intended!
The film has some fantastic moments as well and most of them involve Deepika, the most earnest of the lot. She tries the best any heroine can do in such situations. She gets the accent right, dances with full heart and brings out the simplicity of a chawl girl.
Abhishek Bachchan is good at comedy and he packs some punches but the problem with his character is also the same. The audience anticipates its next move well in advance.
Farah Khan doesn't shy away from owning up to the fact that 'masala' Bollywood is her pick and it serves her purpose to some extent. The audience would have enough to cheer and jeer on but what they will take home is unclear. Basically, the philosophy of the film is vague and in line of the escapist Bollywood cinema. And, we are not even talking about logic yet.
Don't talk about the clichés either as Happy New Year will be reduced to a mere collection of songs in absence of them.
That reminds me, HNY has some really grooving numbers, especially Indiawaale and Nonsense Ki Night.
Like her previous films, Farah has once again roped in a number of known Bollywood faces including Anurag Kashyap, Sajid Khan and Dino Morea and that may provide her an edge over the movie goers who consider Hindi cinema just another mode of entertainment. Just don't ask me what they were doing in the film. As they say, eventually you would also understand.
It's entertaining for sure but it would have been easier for the viewer to form a positive opinion about the film if it would have been edited by at least 20 more minutes. The 'close to three hours' duration makes one uneasy and also induces repetition.
Happy New Year is a film which the crowd will force you to see as it has all the elements of the popular Bollywood. The presence of a big starcast will only add to its charm but then your opinion about it will be mostly dependent on the kind of cinema you want to see in future.
However, one question bothers me. If Vivaan was so good at hacking, then why didn't he hack into Jackie Shroff's account and stole his money? After all, Charlie's team didn't mind breaking some laws. Why did they even consider going to WDC? Tab film nahi banti na. Exactly my point.

WingTsun™ is taught in stages. The most direct techniques are taught first, applying the techniques of the first form, (the little idea form). When somebody attacks by throwing a short hook or grabbing your shirt or neck from the front, the straight punch while quickly stepping in is your first fighting lesson, closing in from a longer range to close range, right in his face. This, of course, is very basic. Practice results in developing timing and position so that an attacker cannot easily counter-attack. The punch and the forward stance are based on the first few movements of the first form. These movements are efficient and address very common attacks.
After such a simple defense is shown, common questions arise such as "But what if…?" Actually WingTsun is a concept-based martial art. We cannot say what exact follow-up movements would be used in a real situation. Of course we can "suggest" or use conjecture and train some possible follow-up moves and we do. However, in WingTsun we do not create prescriptions for self-defense, i.e., "Try two gum-dar movements and call me in the morning to let me know how that worked out…" We cannot allow a student to try and 'memorize' a fixed idea on a follow-up because it will never occur that way in real life. Instead, we train each student to use the Taoist idea of dealing with things as they occur, not how we think or wish they will occur. The student learns to pick from the WingTsun toolbox efficiently to deal with situations as they occur.
After the initial encounter, the student will benefit from our training in real "sticky hands" and soft power so that an attacker using rigid force cannot disrupt their structure with chaotic follow-ups of his own. The student must yield to distinct pressures against them with well-practiced evasion footwork and springy arms which have real-time counter attacks built in to them!

Low-wage workers, often immigrants and minorities, face an increased risk for injuries, obesity, chronic conditions, and mental health issues in the United States.
These workers often participate in the informal economy, take temporary or insecure jobs, work for small businesses, or operate their own small businesses. In these settings, they are exposed to health stressors, including rotating shifts, long hours with few breaks, and exploitation. They often work in sub-par conditions where health, safety and labor standards are not enforced.
These underserved workers have limited access to health care, medical insurance, and health promotion programs. If they take time off from work because of illness or for a doctor's visit, they may sacrifice their wages and risk losing their jobs.
In addition, as a low-income population, these workers face a higher risk of behaviors that challenge health (e.g., limited physical activity, tobacco and alcohol use, poor nutrition) and contribute to chronic disease.
In one of our special interest projects, the Illinois PRC advocates for improving access to health promotion opportunities and workplace safety among these underserved workers. Specifically, this project, part of the CDC's Workplace Health Research Network (WHRN), addresses environmental and personal risks on employee health and safety among workers with few resources, such as home care aides and other workers in low-wage or insecure jobs. Project activities aim to improve health behaviors and reduce disparities in two ways.
Aligning interests of employers, employees, community members, and other stakeholders.
Building coalitions and systems for protecting workers.
Using peer groups, pooled and public resources, and social media to improve health and safety.
Second, we focus on integrated, multi-component interventions that address multiple health risks and concerns in various worksite settings, sectors, and sizes.
Illinois PRC scientists working on this project are experienced researchers with expertise in promoting the health of underserved populations, designing and developing employee health interventions in small and medium-sized businesses, and community-based interventions of underserved workers.
Our initial pilot projects focus on home care aides, who are typically women of middle age or older who help older and disabled adults with housekeeping and activities of daily living for low wages. Usually these workers are of ethnic or racial minorities and have limited education. Home care aides experience higher than average rates of musculoskeletal injuries, and risks for slips, trips and falls while assisting their clients in their homes.
Is the physical activity of home care aides enhanced when they are leading their clients in a physical activity intervention as part of their daily care activities? If so, how?
What factors contribute to slips, trips, and falls among home care aides?
The answers to these questions will inform our work for assessing and improving the health and safety of underserved workers in subsequent years.

Macron calls Biden victory a chance to 'make our planet great again'
President-elect Joe Biden has said he will rejoin the Paris climate accord, which the US under President Trump had officially left on 4 November

Emmanuel Macron takes a swipe at Donald Trump over climate change
Welcoming the prospects of US President-elect Joe Biden rejoining the Paris climate accord, French President Emmanuel Macron called it a chance to "make our planet great again".
Mr Macron's comments followed those of other world leaders including the British prime minister Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who welcomed Mr Biden's successful bid in the US election as a boost to global cooperation in tackling climate change.
In contrast to four years of climate change policy inaction under Mr Trump, who withdrew the US from the 2015 accord, Mr Biden has pledged a $2 trillion plan to boost US investment in clean energy and combat global warming, while also rejoining the historic Paris agreement on the first day of his presidency.
The French leader said having Mr Biden in the White House will reinforce the validity of the accord that aims to prevent catastrophic climate change and has been signed by nearly 200 countries.
"It is proof that we had to stand firm against all the headwinds," Mr Macron said on Thursday during an online summit, according to Reuters. " 'Make our planet great again' is a possibility, not just in words but also in deed."
Mr Trump had long criticised the Obama-era climate pact and in 2017 withdrew the United States, the world's second largest emitter of greenhouse gases behind China, from the agreement, saying it was too costly.
As a result, the US officially exited the agreement on 4 November – the day after an election in which Mr Trump was voted out. The Trump campaign is still refusing to concede and plans legal action in several swing states.
Playing on Mr Trump's 2016 campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again," the French leader launched his climate initiative "Make Our Planet Great Again" in June 2017, which provided US climate scientists multi-year grants to relocate and conduct climate research in France.

The EU, Japan and 11 countries (the Ottawa Group) have launched an initiative to minimize protectionist trade measures relating to medical supplies. The move, set to be submitted to the WTO this week, would "withdraw or end any trade-restrictive measures introduced in response to COVID-19 as quickly as possible." Without a sign-up by the U.S. and China, there is unlikely to be widespread adoption of the recommendations, however.
The action is much needed given the widespread use of medical protectionism in relation to export restrictions, including those imposed by the EU early in the pandemic, as discussed in Panjiva's July 17 research. The resurgence of cases ahead of widespread vaccine distribution could easily result in a return to protectionist tendencies, particularly given regional initiatives such as the U.S.' "Project Warp Speed" and despite collaborative arrangements such as Covax.
The supply chains for delivering COVID-19 vaccines may prove challenging. The Pfizer Inc.-BioNTech SE vaccine requires deep freezing, though manufacturing for the U.S. and EU will be carried out in-region, potentially utilizing existing frozen product supply chains.
Moderna Inc.'s product has less stringent requirements and will also be produced locally for the U.S. and EU markets by Lonza Group Ltd. (Switzerland), Catalent Inc. (U.S. as well as working with seven other developers) and Laboratorios Farmaceuticos Rovi SA (Spain), according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
AstraZeneca PLC/Oxford Therapeutics, meanwhile, is also working with Catalent as well as SK Bioscience Co. Ltd. for South Korea and Cobra Biologics Ltd. (Europe), as well as others. Among other major vaccines, Russia's Sputnik V will be produced by Parana Technology Institute (Brazil) and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. (India).
Panjiva's data shows global trade in vaccines reached $29.9 billion in 2019, with exports dominated by the EU at 75.2% of global trade and 63.5% if excluding intra-EU trade. The U.K. was second with 11.4%/16.9% and the U.S. third with 6.8%/10.0%. In the emerging markets, therehas been a rapid expansion in exports from India, though it still only represented 2.6% of global trade in 2019.
Even regional supplies of vaccines can require rapid transportation, however. Panjiva's data shows that the U.S. accounted for just 11.3% of Mexican vaccine imports in the 12 months to Sept. 30, with 74.8% having traveled by air.
Similarly, shipments from Europe, which accounted for 55.4% of the total, relied mostly on air transport with 72.0% of shipments linked to Sanofi and Pfizer traveling by that mode. More recently, Indian suppliers led by Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd. have come to lead Mexican imports with air travel being the only vector.
For emerging economies more generally, supplies from India will be vital. India's exports were worth $772 million in 2019 with leading destinations including Nigeria, Bangladesh and Brazil. Indeed, exports to Europe or the U.S. were minimal.
The leading exporters from India in the 12 months to Aug. 31 were Serum Institute with $141 million of exports after year over year growth of 42.2%, followed by Bharat Biotech Ltd. with $60 million of shipments and growth of 120.3%.

I take this opportunity to express my happiness that I found Dr. Rao & Dr. Rao; and am thankful to them for accepting me as their student.
Around the age of 25yrs, all my physical activities, exercises & playing & walking, came to a sudden halt; and I fully blame myself for the same. At the age of 35 years I started feeling the brunt of no physical activity in the form of more flab, lowering physical flexibility, declining strength, ever present tiredness, pain here-&-there in the body, etc. This decline of physical well-being was highly frustrating. Finally, when the frustration surpassed my lethargy, after some searching I joined a gym which is quite respectable in terms of quality & results.
Each exercise in the gym was designed for a specific body part. So, in any given session, even after 1.5 hours of training, only few parts of the body were exercised while other parts of body languished in luxury/lethargy. I craved for something that may squeeze my whole body and wake it up from its slumber.
There was nothing intellectually stimulating about it.
Even after efforts I couldn't feel a sense of involvement in that activity.
Though my weight reduced by 2kg in a month, my craving for something satisfying would not go.
It was at this point that I came to know of Dr. Rao & Dr. Rao and within one month of their accepting me as a student of JKD, I started feeling happy that finally I found what my body & mind had been craving for. My journey towards the satisfaction of one important facet of life/me started.
Jeet Kune Do (JKD) literally is "Art of Intercepting Fist". To me it means defense by an attack. That is, before attacker's attack reaches me, I will attack. For me this signifies speed, precision & power and above all this, the concentration & focus to do it.
As I now understand, JKD is basically a symbol of the concepts that it groups and embodies. All those concepts can be applied to martial arts; without any modification, the very same concepts can also be applied to life. Seems strange if looked upon superficially; seems very natural if looked upon closely.
Simple (straightforward) thinking, simple processes/methods of doing works, only simple/basic/natural individual needs, . . . . . . . . . .
Direct approach/action for anything reduces wastages in time, money, efforts & other resources (especially natural & non-replenishable).
Don't do anything, without understanding its need/logic, just because it has been done all along. Think/find/research the need/logic of things we do and change according to needs/logics.
Many thousand years ago we human beings had tails; but with time its use diminished & finally it became useless. Hence, in due course, it vanished. This is just to say that even in nature the useless things do not exist/remain; so its prudent that anything which is effective/goal-oriented/necessary should only exist/remain in our lives. This is applicable to our thoughts, words, actions/reactions, tangible & intangible assets, . . . . . . . . . .
Nowadays we are "taught" almost everything we know; so much so, that most people have, in their unawareness, forgotten their ingenuity & creativity. Let our learning be the basis, but let our thoughts, words, actions/reactions be original (our own).
JKD in fighting & life is same; it's just a matter of appropriately applying it.
Am thankful to JKD for strengthening my faith in the way I think & act/react. I have always been a non-conformist & non-conventional in thought & action. I found very few people of similar nature; however, my faith in myself kept me on track unwavering. Now, after coming in contact with JKD, this faith has been strengthened.
Another amazing aspect of JKD which has immensely helped me is the extensive use of sparring in JKD for practice/training. According to me, the importance given to sparring in JKD is unmatched compared to that in any other martial arts, as JKD believes in teaching experience over skill.
It habituates & seasons the student to physical contact & fighting (hitting & getting hit).
It provides real-life practice for student to help achieve effectiveness and finesse in the techniques learnt.
Brain/clear-thinking does not get clouded by the "heat" or "adrenaline rush" of a fight scenario.
There are no ego problems related to age, seniority or losing.
There is no animosity related to losing or physical injury.
Injury does not induce fear or stress thereby aiding fast recovery.
The feeling of fellowship amongst students/exponents is always strong.
I detested physical contact. Sparring has cured me of this silly feeling.
It helped me develop a mind which is "calm" in adverse scenarios (e.g.: a fight).
I experienced how to use my body weight (am still over-weight) to my advantage in a fight.
JKD, along with ensuring my well-being & health, has also made me more confident and humble. I cannot fully express in words how much & where all JKD has positively effected my life; suffice to say, JKD has made me complete.
Now I fully understand what revered Bruce Lee said about JKD that in ones life the spoken word "JKD" should vanish & it should become one's very nature.

Carmelo Reyes González (8 de octubre de 1949) es un luchador profesional mexicano retirado, más conocido como Cien Caras. Durante su carrera, Cien Caras obtuvo 3 Campeonatos Mundiales: CMLL World Heavyweight Championship, IWC World Heavyweight Championship y WWA World Heavyweight Championship. El 19 de marzo del 2004, en la Arena México, Cien Caras se retiró, quien junto a su hermano, Máscara Año 2000, pierde la cabellera al enfrentar a El Perro Aguayo y su vástago.

Carrera

Comienzos
Después de ser entrenado por El Diablo Velazco y Pantera Negra, Carmelo Reyes González debutó el 5 de agosto de 1974 bajo el nombre de Mil Caras en Los Ángeles, California, pero tuvo problemas con su nombre ya que Mil Máscaras decía era muy parecido al de él, así que Carmelo Reyes tuvo que restarle 900 unidades a su nombre, quedando el nombre de Cien Caras. Carmelo inicialmente fue técnico, pero pronto desarrolló un estilo de lucha más violenta y se convirtió en rudo. Años después, en 1977, ganó el WCWA Texas Tag Team Championship junto a José Lothario al derrotar a Tony Charles y Les Thornton. Perdió el título el 15 de marzo del mismo año ante Bruiser Brody y Mike York en Houston, Texas. El 29 de octubre de 1977, ganó con Victor Rivera el NWA Americas Tag Team Championship a Roddy Piper y The Hangman, pero lo perdieron solo un mes después contra el equipo de Toru Tanaka y Dr. Hiro Ota. Luego de eso, comenzó a luchar en la Arena Coliseo de Guadalajara, Jalisco, donde pronto ganó las cabelleras de Alfonso Dantés y Goro Tanaka. El 26 de julio de 1980 se gana por primera vez el Campeonato Nacional Peso Completo. Logró ser campeón cerca de 1 año y medio, hasta que perdió frente a Herodes en marzo de 1982. Ganó la máscara y la cabellera de Terremoto en la Arena Coliseo de Guadalajara varios meses después. El 30 de marzo de 1984 gana nuevamente el Campeonato Nacional Peso Completo, esta vez ganándole al Rayo de Jalisco Jr. en el Distrito Federal.

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
El 1984 empezó una rivalidad con El Halcón Ortiz, terminando en una lucha de máscara contra cabellera, saliendo El Halcón Ortiz perdedor. El 12 de abril de 1985 gana el Campeonato Nacional de Parejas con Sangre Chicana, pero en octubre del mismo año los pierden contra Rayo de Jalisco Jr. & Tony Benetto. En octubre de 1986 pierde el Campeonato Nacional Completo ante Alfonso Dantés luego de 2 años como campeón. Tres años más tarde, ganó la máscara de Siglo XX en la Arena México. Perdió su máscara en una lucha contra el Rayo de Jalisco Jr. el 21 de septiembre de 1990 en la Arena México. El 24 de junio de 1987 en Nezahualcóyotl, Estado de México, Cien Caras derrotado MS-1 en una lucha por el Campeonato Mundial Peso Ligero de la NWA. Mantuvo el título hasta el 20 de marzo de 1988, cuando lo perdió ante Lizmark en la Ciudad de México.

El 18 de agosto de 1991 en Monterrey, Caras derrotó a Konnan el Bárbaro para convertirse por primera vez en Campeón Mundial de Peso Completo del CMLL. Mantuvo este título hasta su salida de la CMLL el 19 de junio de 1992, dejando el título vacante.

Asistencia Asesoría y Administración
Carmelo siguió a Konnan a la recién formada Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), donde continuaron su rivalidad. En el evento estelar de Triplemanía el 30 de abril de 1993, Cien Caras derrotó a Konnan en una lucha de retiro a dos de tres caídas al recibir el conteo de 10 después de que Jake "The Snake" Roberts interfiriera en su nombre. Caras permaneció varios años en la AAA antes de regresar al CMLL. En una de sus últimas luchas en la empresa, hizo equipo con Heavy Metal y Latin Lover en un torneo de campeonato para coronar a los primeros Campeones de Tríos AAA de las Américas, pero perdieron ante Los Villanos (Villano III, IV y V) en la final del torneo en Nezahualcóyotl el 8 de marzo de 1996.
El 7 de junio de 2009 fue anunciado como nuevo as del Lic. Joaquín Roldán para enfrentar a Konnan y la Legión Extranjera, sin embargo apareció enmascarado por lo cual Konnan no creía que fuera realmente aquel que lo retiró en la Triplemanía I; para su sorpresa, quien se ocultaba tras la misma máscara era El Capo mayor, Cien Caras, en Triplemania XVII fungió su papel como estaba previsto donde el Ejército AAA salió avante.

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre
En el CMLL, Cien Caras fue un miembro del equipo de Los Capos con sus dos hermanos menores, Máscara Año 2000 y Universo 2000 (Los Hermanos Dinamita) y también Apolo Dantes.

General Information on Rethymno
The prefecture of Rethymno is one of the four prefectures of Crete, attracting thousands of visitors. It is the most mountainous region of the island, bordered to the west by the White Mountains and to the east by Mt. Psiloritis. It is considered the most picturesque region of Crete, boasting excellent natural features, including imposing canyons and gorges, lush vineyards and evergreen forests, sparkling rivers and lakes, long sandy beaches and high mountains with impressive caves and caverns.
Apart from its natural environment, Rethymno Prefecture offers a plethora of archaeological, historical and religious sights that illustrate the historical significance of Rethymno. Moreover, visitors may find an abundance of nightlife venues, in Rethymno Town, and popular seaside resorts, such as Plakia, and Agia Galini, all of which provide evening entertainment. In the charming villages of the prefecture there are taverns and restaurants where visitors can enjoy traditional dishes and accommodations for all tastes. Generally, the superb tourist infrastructure including accommodation, car rental agencies, tour agencies, shops and entertainment venues, makes the prefecture a wonderful vacation destination all year round.
History of Rethymno
According to Greek mythology, Crete was the land of King Minos. The legend says that the king refused to sacrifice a bull to the gods and Poseidon punished him by making his wife fall in love with a bull. From this union, the Minotaur was born and was placed in a labyrinth that king Minos built for him. Another legend says that to avenge the death of his son by the Athenians, King Minos made them send seven girls and boys to Crete every year, as a sacrifice to the Minotaur. During an expedition, the famous mythical hero Theseus, son of the King of Athens, sailed to Crete along with the young Athenians and, with the help of Ariadne, daughter of King Minos, killed the Minotaur and found his way out of the labyrinth.
The existence of human life during the Neolithic period (6000-2600 BC) has been proven by archaeological finds in the prefecture of Rethymno. However, a large number of archaeological finds dates back to the Minoan period. Crete is the place where the Minoan civilization, an important civilization (2600-1150 BC), started. Huge palace-states were built, such as the famous palaces of Knossos, Phaistos, Malia and Zakros. Minoans established a naval empire in the Mediterranean. This great civilization was destroyed, probably, by huge waves caused by the eruption of the Santorini volcano in 1450 BC and by the invasion of the Achaeans and the Dorians.
During the Geometric Period (710-270 BC) there is evidence of civilisation in the area of Eleftherna and surrounding areas. The Roman occupation started in 69 AD and lasted until 330 AD, followed by the Byzantine Era. There is little information referring to the area during the First Byzantine period (325-824 AD) and the period of Arab occupation (824-961 AD). Crete's liberation by Nikiforos Fokas in 961, followed by its reintegration to the Byzantine Empire, signaled the beginning of the Second Byzantine period, which lasted until the arrival of the Venetians in 1204.
The period of the Venetian rule formally began in 1204, when Crete was passed over to Bonifatius of Montferrato, who later handed it over to the Venetians. They fortified the old Arab castles, built new ones, and founded new fortified cities. However, in 1206 Genoese pirate Enrico Pescatore invaded the island, and it was not until 1210 that the Venetians actually succeeded in regaining control of Crete again. The Cretans were in opposition to their conquerors, which resulted in a series of revolutions during the period between 1211 and 1367.
After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the position of the Venetians in the East gradually weakened. The attack of pirate Ulutz-Ali in 1571 devastated Rethymno. The Turks found the town deserted, plundered it and set it on fire. The Venetians fortified the city again and by the end of the 16th century, Rethymno achieved characteristics of the Renaissance according to Venetian examples. This stage included the construction of luxurious public and private mansions, while at the same time the city gained a central square as the city of Venice, a club house of the nobility, fountains, a large sundial, a central street, as well as smaller roads, which led to temples, monasteries and the houses of the inhabitants. During those years, art flourished such as painting and literature. The famous painter El Greco (Domenicos Theotokopoulos) started his career in this period, and other artists and scholars from Constantinople and other parts of the old Byzantine Empire came to Crete.
In 1645, the first Turkish troops landed at Chania and besieged the city. One year later, the troops of Hussein Pasha arrived at Rethymno. These walls had already been weakened because of the earlier raids led by the Turks, who had already established themselves in the area of Chania. The domination of the Turks over the inhabitants of Rethymno as well as over the rest of Crete brought many changes not only in the administrative, economic and population areas, but also in the intellectual and everyday life. The image of the town changed radically. The Ottomans established themselves in the Venetian mansions, which they decorated with their own architectural elements. At the same time, they started building mosques and minarets, which further stressed their presence. The period of the "Cretan Renaissance" with its flourishing literature and fine arts resulted belonged to the past. Christians were slaughtered and their properties plundered, which resulted in a series of uprisings and revolutions.
However, the Ottomans left the island much later, in 1898, when Russian soldiers took up position in Crete. During the same year preparations commenced to render Crete an autonomous state with its own constitution and government. This period of autonomy had positive effects on all levels, mainly on the economic and intellectual life of the city. This creative development continued until 1913, when Crete was united with mainland Greece.
During World War II, the island was invaded by the Germans who bombed the town of Rethymno in May 1941. The intolerable living conditions as well as the oppression of the conquerors during the period from 1941 to 1944 created a strong resistance movement with activities in many places of the prefecture. Many of Crete's residents were executed for their part in the initial resistance against the German invasion. Following the German occupation, a period of poverty and misery began, which lasted until 1960. After that the island, with the expansion of tourism, flourished again into what it is today.
Towns & Villages in Rethymno
The province of Rethymno: There are two sides to Rethymno offering two styles of visit: the beach hotel strip, including the coastal villages of Perivolia, Platanias, Adelianos Kambos, Pigianos Kambos, Sfakaki, Stavromenos and Skaleta; and the beautiful Town of Rethymno with the old part and its mixture of architecture and history, cultural influences and styles.
Rethymno is the capital and the administrative, commercial and communication centre of the prefecture of Rethymno, built 80km east of Heraklion and 60km west of Chania. The city combines nice features: historical charm and proximity to a long sandy beach. The city also combines an old-time aristocratic appearance with a modern aspect, a unique blend. Various elements boost the charm of this town such as the arched doorways and stone staircases, 16th century buildings, Byzantine, Hellenic and Roman remains, narrow stone-paved alleys, the small beautiful Venetian harbour and the municipal gardens. The town offers all necessary tourist facilities and accommodations of all categories, as well as lively bars and clubs, various restaurants and excellent taverns.
The province of Mylopotamos: This province is situated east of the town of Rethymno. The chief coastal resorts of this area are Bali and Panormo. Bali is set in beautiful surroundings, with several small coves, hills and narrow sandy beaches. However, the enormous tourist development of this area has marred the natural beauty and during summer months it can be very crowded. Panormo is a less-known resort, despite the fact that it has a nice sandy beach and easy access from Rethymno Town. Panormo is a small village built on top of an ancient settlement. Furthermore, the hilly interior of the province now starts attracting tourists, especially the villages of Margarites and Anogia. The first village is known for its fine pottery and tour buses stop here every morning. If you want to wander around this beautiful traditional settlement, come in the afternoon when it is quiet. Anogia is situated on the foothills of Mt. Psiloritis, at an altitude of 750m, and it is the largest mountain village of Crete. It is a picturesque and attractive settlement, considered one of the most authentic villages of Crete. Due to its isolation, the village has kept local customs, traditional costumes and an old dialect. The settlement is known for its long history of rebellion during World War II and for its musician families. From Anogia, you can reach Nida (22km), a small plateau at an altitude of 1400m, from where it is possible to walk to Timios Stavros, the highest summit of the island (2456m), in about 4 hours.
The province of Agios Vasileios: The province begins at Armeni in the north and ends on the south coast of the island where the best known resorts are situated. The capital of the province is the town of Spili. It is a beautiful settlement, situated at an altitude of 430m, 28km southeast of the capital. The town is surrounded by verdant vegetation and is full of trees, fountains, springs and chapels with wonderful murals.
Furthermore, the busiest tourist resort is Plakias. This settlement was a traditional fishing village but recently it has become a well known resort, mainly because of its sandy beach which extends over 1500m. Plakias, despite tourism growth, is still a beautiful village in an amazing location. Agia Galini is another picturesque town. The once sleepy little town perched on a hill overlooking the sea now consists of hotels, rooms for rent, restaurants, bars and shops. However, it has retained quite a bit of its past atmosphere. Narrow cobbled alleys cross the village and old houses are perched one over the other against a steep cliff, offering a magnificent view over the Libyan Sea. A nice pebble beach extends over a kilometre in from of the settlement. Agia Galini is situated on the southern coast of Crete, just next to the border separating the prefecture of Rethymno from the one of Heraklion.
The province of Amari: The Amari province is often regarded the headland of Crete and the repository of its culture. Its capital, Amari, is surrounded by tranquil villages. From the legend of Zeus to the horrific bloodbath at Moni Akradiou, Crete's tormented history took shape under the shadow of looming Mt. Psiloritis. This region harbours around 40 traditional and verdant villages amid olive groves and almond and cherry trees.
Beaches in Rethymno
The prefecture of Rethymno is ideal for summer holidays since it boasts a large number of beautiful and clean beaches. Sandy beaches can be visited on the north coast, at the Cretan Sea as well as on the south coast of the island, at the Libyan Sea. Some of the most beautiful and known beaches are presented below but the best way to find the ideal beach for your taste is to explore the coast by yourself.
Rethymno Beach: It is a sandy beach of more than 20km long. It is organized and very crowded during summer. Weather flags inform swimmers of the safety of the beach; if the weather is windy it can be quite dangerous.
Episkopi Beach: This beach is situated west of Rethymno. It is also very large and sandy and only partly organized.
Panormo: The beach of this crowded tourist resort is situated 20km east of Rethymno. The beach is sandy, fully-organized and very loud.
Bali: This small coastal village is situated 34km east of Rethymno, on the northern coast of Crete. Small islets are scattered on the coast in front of the village where visitors can find crystal waters and peaceful atmosphere or fully-organized sandy inlets with clean waters.
Plakias: This beach is situated east of the tourist resort of the same name, 40km south of the capital. This resort boasts a superb sandy beach, and well-organized infrastructure including hotels, rooms, taverns and restaurants. The beach is organized and various water sports are available here.
Souda Plakias: This beach is situated west of the village of Plakias. It is sandy and organized with a few taverns and rooms available in the area.
Agia Galini: This popular tourist resort lies about 58km south of Rethymno and has a beautiful fully-organized long sandy beach. Apart from the main beach of Agia Galini the area offers a variety of small beautiful and clean beaches, which are situated in various inlets around the settlement.
Damnoni: Damnoni is located on the southern coast of the prefecture of Rethymno, a few kilometres west of the village of Plakias. The beach of the settlement is organized and sandy and is considered one of the best of Crete. For those who enjoy secluded and non-organized spots, the surrounding area is full of deserted bays and coves with soft sand and incredibly clean and pristine waters.
Ammoudi: This beach is situated near Damnoni village. It is an alternative choice, ideal for those seeking peace and quiet. It is small, sandy, not organized and fairly isolated.
Preveli Lagoon: The beach of Preveli is located 38km south of Rethymno and it is the most famous and one of the most idyllic beaches of the prefecture. To reach it, take the road to the historic Monastery of Preveli. Shortly before you arrive to the Monastery, a track on the left hand side leads downhill to a parking place. After approximately 15-minute walk, you will arrive at this amazing sandy beach which reminds of an exotic lagoon. It is an oasis of palm trees with nice waters and soft sand. The Kourtaliotis River ends at this wonderful beach, creating a delta. Apart from the palm trees, lush vegetation surrounds the beach and the river, creating a dreamy landscape. Because of its beauty, the beach gets crowded during high season.
Triopetra: The beach of Triopetra, which was named after the three distinctive rocks in the sea, is situated about 50km south of the capital. The beach is huge and sandy with no tourist facilities.
Agios Pavlos: This magnificent sandy beach is situated 58km south of Rethymno. Bathing in one of the isolated inlets, which are formed between the rocks, and the sand dunes is a great experience. In the village of the same name, which is situated right next to the beach, there are available rooms to rent and taverns.
Rodakino: The small village of Rodakino (Peach) is situated a few kilometres east of Plakias and is surrounded by various small beaches which are the ideal place for relaxation. They are all very isolated, with no tourist facilities.
Top Things to Do in Rethymno
1. The city of Rethymno: The capital city of the Rethymno Prefecture is a beautiful settlement which has kept its cosmopolitan atmosphere, a result of its many conquerors. Except for a walk around the city to admire the Arab, Venetian and Ottoman architectural elements of the old mansions and public buildings, the city has few interesting sites that are worth a visit, such as the Venetian harbour of the city and the Fortress of "Fortezza".
The harbour of Rethymno has been rebuilt many times since 1300 in an attempt to enforce its safety and capacity, but because of the currents, the attempts were unsuccessful and the harbour has kept its picturesque and authentic aspect and character. However, the main attraction of the city is its Fortress. It was built from 1573 till 1580 by the Venetians, for the protection of the inhabitants by the Turkish threat. It is star-shaped with three gates and six bastions. In the middle, the church of St. Nicolas was turned into the Mosque of the Sultan Ibrahim Han, during the Ottoman rule. There were the Commander's house, the Counsellor's house, barracks, stables, storehouses, a cistern and houses which were later destroyed.
The Fortress dominates the city and makes Rethymno very picturesque. Its pedestrian streets below are lined with charming old buildings. Venetian influence is everywhere, while minarets and domed mosques remind of the Turkish conquerors long gone. Numerous souvenir shops, trendy fashion or imaginative jewellery can be found below the Fortress. While in town, don't forget to visit the Mosques. Four fine mosques have been preserved: the Megali Porta Mosque (Great Door), the Beli Pasha Mosque and the Kara Mousa Pasha Mosque that was initially the Venetian monastery of Agia Varvara and houses today the Ephoreia of Byzantine Antiquities. The last one is the Nerantzes Mosque that used to be a Roman Catholic Church dedicated to Santa Maria and now houses a conservatory. This is the only mosque of Rethymno that is open to the public.
2. The Preveli Monastery: Preveli Monastery is a famous, well maintained monastery located above the Libyan Sea, on the southern coast of Rethymno Prefecture, over the Kourtaliotis River. Like most Cretan monasteries it played a significant role in the rebellion against the Turks. In World War II, after the Battle of Crete, it sheltered many Allied soldiers who were being evacuated to Egypt. In retaliation, the monastery was plundered by the Germans. Today, the monastery is surrounded by rich vegetation. It is a staurpegian monastery founded probably in the 16th century. The Catholicon is a two-aisle church dedicated to St. John the Theologian and the Annunciation of the Virgin. It was built in 1836 but has been repaired many times since. Inside the monastery, there are cells, the old abbot quarters that were transformed to a guest-house, the new abbot quarters of 1900 as well as a library. A little museum with various ecclesiastical relics and items is open to the public. The view from the monastery is breathtaking and really worth seeing.
3. Gorges: Many gorges and caves can found all around Rethymno Prefecture. From those, Preveli Gorge, Patsos Gorge and Prassano Gorge are the most impressive ones. The first one (Preveli Gorge) lies south of Rethymno Town, close to the Preveli Monastery. The gorge stops at the mouth of Kourtaliotis River which forms an idyllic spot. Another impressive gorge is the Patsos gorge, located near the picturesque mountainous village of Patsos, southeast of the capital. The walk through the gorge takes about 3 hours. Interesting vegetation embellishes the gorge and, in its walls, one can see numerous caves with stalactites and stalagmites. The last one is the Prassano Gorge. This is a miniature of the famous Samaria gorge in the prefecture of Chania.
4. The Arkadi Monastery (Moni Arkadiou): This is the most famous and significant Monastery in the prefecture of Rethymno and the entire Crete. It's famous due to a historical event in 1866. The Turks sent thousands of soldiers to the island. When they were told about the venue of the oppressors, hundreds of men, children and women found refuge in the monastery. However, this didn't stop the Ottomans from attacking the monastery. In order to avoid being killed by the conquerors and surrendering to them, the Cretans set fire to a store of gunpowder and the whole building exploded killing Cretans and Turks. Since then, the Arkadi Monastery has become a symbol of defiance and patriotism. The monastery was extremely wealthy and there was a centre of copying Greek manuscripts and a workshop of church embroideries. Today, this monastery, situated 23km from the town of Rethymno, houses a museum and receives many visitors throughout the year.
5. Preveli Beach & Anogia village: Don't neglect to visit Preveli Beach, one of the most beautiful places of Crete and the Anogia Village with its traditional architecture and music history.

Weather in Rethymno
The climate of Crete is the mildest of Greece. It is a temperate Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers moderated by northern winds, and mild, rainy winters in the plains. In the mountains of Crete, winters are quite harsh and it snows during the period from January to the end of February. Autumn is the mildest season in Crete because the temperatures are often higher than in spring and lower than in summertime.
Because the island is very mountainous, weather changes can be sudden and the mountains, as a barrier, create different weather conditions in northern and southern Crete.

T-Mobile Workers Announce Independent Union
In response to bonus pay cuts and a return to in-person work, social media customer service workers at T-Mobile are poised to unionize.
Jonah Furman
Workers at T-Mobile announced on Wednesday that they are forming an independent union for nearly 300 social media customer service workers at the telecom giant. They're calling themselves the T-Force Social Care Alliance (TSCA), and are pushing for union recognition from their notoriously anti-union employer.
Workers announced their effort during a company-wide meeting, changing their video backgrounds in a show of solidarity, and announcing the organizing drive on social media platforms. In a statement, the union announced, "T-Mobile's culture made it a perfect stronghold against unions for years, but the clear shift to profits over people has changed the perception of many of their employees. The TSCA hopes to follow in the footsteps of the brave Starbucks and Amazon workers who have shown us this is possible. We hope not just to secure protections for ourselves, but be the spark that unites T-Mobile's frontline fight for themselves."
The effort has been spurred by two moves from management: one, to force workers back into the workplace, despite years of remote work; and two, to restructure workers' bonus pay system, in some cases cutting workers' take-home pay by thousands of dollars.
More broadly, workers are looking to the union for job security. T-Mobile merged with Sprint in 2019, promising government regulators that the move would result in job creation "from day one"; instead, the company has shed over 6,000 jobs in the years since, with further layoffs announced as recently as July. The Communication Workers of America estimates the job loss is closer to 20,000. Watching the company eliminate positions as part of "organizational shifts" has customer service workers worried they might be next.
What started as a team of 24 workers in 2012 has ballooned into a core part of T-Mobile's customer service operation. As a Forbes report noted in 2014, "T-Mobile today focuses on social media as a competitive advantage, using it to listen and respond to customers' desires and concerns. It has to. With mobile phone penetration at 78 percent of the U.S. population in 2014 and leveling off, T-Mobile must show how it is better to grow. Social media is one of the key prongs in its strategy."
The nature of remote work means workers have had to create their own spaces to organize. In 2020, some workers started a group text which evolved into a communication and organizing hub. Working remotely for years, even before the pandemic, also means that the company's push to have workers begin reporting in-person to offices is a big departure.
This summer, when management announced changes to the bonus system, it was a catalyzing event that turned the group chat conversation to unionization.
There have been efforts to organize T-Mobile for years, and the company was forced in federal court to rescind a slate of anti-union policies in 2017.

I got proof recently that God was at my house.
That Saturday morning, my husband Gilbert was taking an online class. Passing the classes is important. Personally, they are advancing him toward his goal of full-time ministry. Financially, they cost money and time.
Each class, taught by a different church leader, still has the same overall structure. Class time is 8 a.m. to noon, two consecutive Saturdays. There's assigned reading. The homework's due date is usually a week after the last class.
Except this class. The teacher said the homework was due before day's end.
Gilbert was already tired. Then he received a call for help. A client had water line problems. Gilbert had to go to work. It was not a situation where he could say, "Call someone else, please."
We picked up PVC pipe at a hardware store. Next stop: the bank. At 2:30 p.m., we were at the client's house. After surveying the problem, we went again to a store for a smaller pipe. It was there Gilbert realized he'd left his debit card in the ATM at the bank.
At this point, I noticed how calmly Gilbert was continuing to do the next thing in front of him. He called the bank to cancel his debit card. I credit his calmness to prayer. At the first store, I had sent a text to a friend, "Gilbert found out today in class, paper due today and at work, client has broken water line. Pulled in 2 directions at once. Please pray. Thank U." Our friend responded, "I prayed and I heard it will work out." I was reassured and grateful for praying friends.
After Gilbert fixed the water line, we got home around 5 p.m. Gilbert was understandably ready to sit down. But no time for rest. Being the writer in the family, I helped as much as ethically allowable. I gave Gilbert the structure of how his paper could be written. He had to do the research, soul searching and writing. I typed the paper into an email to his teacher.
Me: It all worked out. God is good.
Friend: Was he done by 7:30? Thanks for letting me pray.
Me: Final act of a long day — his homework emailed to teacher — 7:50 pm. What did you experience?
Friend: I prayed again about 7:30 and got that he was close but not done. That he wouldn't be up late doing it. God is good.
Me: God is good. He takes care of his own. Thank you for being such a good brother.
The only way God could know Gilbert was close to being done is if God was there, in our house with us. Ever since, I have been rejoicing that God is right here with me. Praise God. He demonstrated a wonderful truth and redeemed a day of spiritual attack.
I invite you to take what you know to heart. God lives in you. God is with you. No matter what. Always. Tell your heart.
