Dean Ambrose might be leaving WWE, but his wife is staying with the company. Renee Young is the first full-time female announcer on Monday Night Raw and she's not leaving that position.
Young recently commented on her husband's WWE exit through an Instagram message that included an incredibly supportive caption.
This was a great and supportive message for a wife to send for her husband. Hopefully, Ambrose will find plenty of success away from WWE. He is financially stable enough and taking a chance on himself. He will have Renee Young by his side through the whole thing as well so that has to help a lot too.

Adams-Normandie is a  Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) in South Los Angeles.

According to the Adams-Normandie HPOZ Preservation Plan, "At the beginning of the 20th century the West Adams–Normandie area was one of Los Angeles' most prestigious communities."
The Van Buren Place Historic District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is located within the HPOZ. The Adams-Normandie HPOZ was adopted by the Los Angeles City Council on December 9, 2010.

Geography

Adams-Normandie is bounded by the Santa Monica Freeway on the north, Normandie Avenue on the west, Vermont Avenue on the east and 29th Street on the south.

In 2009, a year before the HPOZ was adopted, the Mapping L.A. project of the Los Angeles Times reported the western boundary as Western Avenue.

Population

2000
A total of 17,596 residents lived in Adams-Normandie's 0.81 square miles, according to the 2000 U.S. census—averaging 21,948 people per square mile, among the highest population densities in both the city and the county.

The median age was 26, young for the city and the county, and the percentages of residents aged 11 to 34 were among the county's highest. There were 839 families headed by single parents; the rate of 24.4% was considered high for both the city and the county.

Within the neighborhood, Latinos made up 62.2% of the population, while black people were 24.8%. Other ethnicities were white people, 5.6%; Asian, 5.2%; and other, 2.1%. Mexico and El Salvador were the most common places of birth for the 46.7% of the residents who were born abroad, considered a high percentage of foreign-born for the city as a whole.

2008
The median household income in 2008 dollars was $29,606, considered low for both the city and county. The percentage of households earning $20,000 or less was high, compared to the county at large. The average household size of 3.2 people was also considered high. Renters occupied 79.4% of the housing units, and homeowners occupied the rest.
Only 9.5% of Adams-Normandie residents 25 and older held a four-year bachelor's  degree, a low percentage for both the city and the county. The percentage of residents age 25 and older with less than a high school diploma was high for the county.

John Wilson is Still Not Convinced by the Fear Thesis
September 28, 2018 September 27, 2018 / johnfea
Some of you may recall John Wilson's review of Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump in the Hedgehog Review. I wrote about it here. Wilson does not seem to think that "fear" explains the evangelical support for Donald Trump. He makes a similar critique of fear in his recent review of Martha Nussbaum's latest, The Monarchy of Fear: A Philosopher Looks At Our Political Crisis. Here is a taste of his review of Nussbaum in The Weekly Standard:
Are we living in an "Age of Fear"? Are Americans today more fearful than they were in the 1960s, say? The 1950s? The 1940s? The 1930s? How would we know? (By the way, how long is an "age" nowadays? Ten years? Five years? Two years? Ages aren't what they used to be.)
One thing we do know for certain: A lot of people are talking about fear. In July in these pages, I reviewed Matthew Kaemingk's important book Christian Hospitality and Muslim Immigration in an Age of Fear. Around the same time, Eerdmans published Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump, in which the excellent historian John Fea offered a "short history of evangelical fear" as an explanation for the mess we find ourselves in. In July, Vox critic Alissa Wilkinson (who is on my always-must-read list) posted a piece on the fictional Gileads of Margaret Atwood and Marilynne Robinson. "You'd have to be extraordinarily blind," Wilkinson wrote, "to not know that fear is a dominant, if not the dominant, feeling in 2018." (Oh, no. On top of all my other problems, I'm extraordinarily blind!) And then there's Bob Woodward's Fear: Trump in the White House.
Many instances of what we might call the discourse of fear depend on a rhetorical sleight of hand: To describe those you are arguing against as being driven by fear is thought to be effective, even as you are appealing to fear of the outcome should these fearful types get what they want. In his recent remarks on the Trump administration, a critique in many respects persuasive, former president Barack Obama denounced "the politics of fear," as he had while he himself occupied the White House. Never mind that President Trump's critics have themselves routinely waxed apocalyptic. Lisa Sharon Harper, a widely respected African-American evangelical speaker, writer, and organizer, tells us that "majority conservative rulings have already whittled back civil rights protections, leaving this generation's children as vulnerable to a new Jim Crow as my great-grandparents, who fled for their lives from the terror of the Jim Crow South," a warning clearly intended to inspire fear and dread.
Does such argumentation by fear prove that fear really is pervasive, bone-deep, or does it rather suggest the perceived advantage of employing a particular rhetorical strategy?
I'm Not the Only One Talking About Fear These Days
July 17, 2018 / johnfea
Over at the website of the Marty Center at the University of Chicago, Martin Marty writes about Martha Nussbaum's new book The Monarchy of Fear: A Philosopher Looks at Our Political Crisis. I have not read Nussbaum's book, but I relied on some of her previous work on fear in my own book, Believe Me: The Evangelical Road to Donald Trump.
Here is a taste of Marty's piece:
"Our summer of fear" was a headline that greeted us one day this week. It captioned Christopher Borrelli's published "conversation with Chicago philosopher Martha Nussbaum" (Chicago Tribune, July 9). The other three dailies which arrived the same morning offered other headlines above other subjects covered, but one could have appropriately filed many of them under the Nussbaum topic, "fear." Perhaps autumn events and moods will soon elicit the name of some different emotion, but for now the Nussbaum interview addresses our fears expansively and credibly. The emphasis derives from the title and subject of her new book, The Monarchy of Fear: A Philosopher Looks at Our Political Crisis (Simon & Schuster, 2018), which draws notice among philosophers and pundits, and, as in newspapers and online magazines, the public. One cannot not deal with this author, so commanding is her presence, especially once her expressions reach publics.
Perhaps we have hurried past Nussbaum too briskly. Not everyone hears about or deals with every philosopher, including even the most public ones. To slow a bit: since 1995 this one has taught on "the law, philosophy, classics, divinity, South Asian studies and political science" faculties at the University of Chicago. Those interested in researching her can check out her Wikipedia entry or other sources which list bibliographies too long to get more space in this column. "Look her up!" we advise, and use the recent Tribuneinterview for launching. It is common practice to connect events and themes with temporal terms, such as the "Age" or "Era" or "Year" or "Epoch" of "Belief" (Dickens), "Enlightenment," "Progress," etc. Now we are down to the moment in the "summer of fear."
Professor Nussbaum has famously written about the cultural and societal effects of various emotions. Asked what her current choice means, she draws on Aristotle, and paraphrases: "Fear is the sense that there are things that are bad for you and your well being, looming over you, and you are not fully in control of warding them off … We learn early on" that "we will die … and fear never goes away, we are all powerless over it. So fear can be easily hijacked and grow out of control—arguably more so than other emotions." The interviewee observes that fear can lead "to anger, and anger can make you feel in control of your fear … Other emotions like disgust and envy get revved up when we feel afraid."
Fear challenges democracies: "democracy means you have to work with people you may not like but you must still believe are your equals." She considers what fear can do to a child. As for grown-ups? "[F]earful people never trust the other side … right now this country is like an abused child." The interviewer goes on to ask what philosophers have to contribute in such a situation. Nussbaum has some fairly cheery things to say about the potential of philosophy and what we can learn from the classics, like Socrates, Lucretius, and Cicero, beginning with their stress on the "examined life." Critics might charge that she would say that; after all, that's what many tenured philosophers at her university have long taught.
Hofstadter: "American politics has often been an arena for angry minds."
June 20, 2017 June 20, 2017 / johnfea
With Freedom Rider Rip Patton in Nashville
Over at The New Republic, Jeet Heer reminds us that "America Has Always Been Angry and Violent." He offers this history lesson in the wake of the shooting of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and four others in Alexandria, Virginia last week.
Here is a taste:
The notion that Americans are particularly angry today has become a rote talking point in the political press, repeated year after year. In 2011, after Representative Gabby Giffords was shot by a mentally ill man, NBC's Mark Murray wrote, "If one word summed up the past two years in American politics, it was this: anger." In 2007, George Will wrote in The Washington Post, "Americans are infatuated with anger." In 1996, in her book The Angry American, George Washington University political scientist Susan Tolchin described an epidemic of "voter rage."
But long before any of these writers, amid Barry Goldwater's demogogic presidential campaign, the great historian Richard Hofstadter began his classic 1964 essay "The Paranoid Style in American Politics" thus: "American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers… But behind this I believe there is a style of mind that is far from new and that is not necessarily right-wing. I call it the paranoid style simply because no other word adequately evokes the sense of heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy that I have in mind."
Hofstadter was exactly right—not only about the anger in the mid-'60s, but also that it was "far from new." We are not, as Podhoretz and Pelosi suggest, living in a especially or uniquely dangerous moment. Incendiary political speech and political violence have been pervasive in U.S. history.
"What is impressive to one who begins to learn about American violence is its extraordinary frequency, its sheer commonplaceness in our history, its persistence into very recent and contemporary times, and its rather abrupt contrast without our pretensions to singular national virtue," Hofstadter wrote in the introduction to American Violence: A Documentary History, the 1972 collection he co-edited with Michael Wallace. It shouldn't surprise us that a colonial settler society that wiped out the Native American population, imported slave labor, and relied on vigilante violence to police newly incorporated territories should be prone to political violence. Reading through Hofstadter and Wallace's book, one is reminded anew that American history has consisted of slave revolts and their violent crushing, race riots, labor clashes, and assassinations.
I first read Heet's piece while traveling throughout the South on a Civil Rights bus tour where we learned a great deal about Martin Luther King's theory of non-violence from several veterans of the movement who tried to order their lives around this principle. During a conversation with Freedom Rider Rip Patton in the Nashville Public Library, one of the participants on our tour asked Patton how to introduce the principles of non-violence to the students she teaches. This participant, obviously moved by what she had heard and seen all week, prefaced her remarks by saying that she was convinced that King's philosophy of non-violence best represented the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I am not a pacifist, but I was also struck by the non-violent philosophy of the leaders and activists of the Civil Rights Movement. I often wrote about it in my daily posts. As Rip Patton spoke that day he referenced several passages from the Bible. One of those passages was Romans 12:2: "And do not be conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Rip said that this verse was one of several Bible passages that motivated him to join the movement as a college student.
Romans 12:2 is one of the most counter-cultural verses in the New Testament. I got the sense that the verse had layered meanings for Rip. First, the "world" was no doubt the world of white supremacy that he had lived through in segregated Nashville. He would no longer allow himself to be "conformed" to this unjust world. This required action on his part.
But I also think Rip would say that the "world" of Romans 12:2 was defined by violence and anger. As a Christian he could not "conform" to this world. He would pursue a course of counter-cultural transformation–a path that was good and acceptable and the perfect will of God. This course was defined by non-violence.
Heet and Hofstadter are correct. American history has always been characterized by violence. But it seems that the God of the early Civil Rights movement was calling its participants to something higher.
As I wrote this post I also thought about Martha Nussbaum's recent National Endowment for the Humanities Jefferson Lecture on the limits of anger as a political and social emotion. Here are some of my tweets from that lecture:
Nussbaum: The ancient Greek democracy had an anger problem. Just like modern democracies. #JeffLec17 #humanities
Nussbaum: Ancients raged a "cultural struggle" against anger, seeing it as destructive to democratic institutions. #jefflec17 #humanities
Nussbaum: We should resist anger in our political culture. This is not easy. Many feel anger is needed for justice. #JeffLec17 #humanities
Nussbaum: "Killing the killer does not restore the dead to life. Pain for pain is an easy idea, but it is a false lure. #JeffLec17
Nussbaum: We go wrong when we permit retributive thoughts to convince us that inflicting pain in the present corrects the past. #jefflec17
Nussbaum: Hard to get our head around complicated truths. Easier to incinerate the witch. #JeffLec17 #humanities #anger
Nussbaum: Fear feeds payback. Obliterating wrong-doers makes us feel better. Even just wars decline into payback & bloodthirst. #JeffLec17
Nussbaum: King gets busy turning retributive anger into work and and hope. #jefflec17 #humanities #mlk #anger
Nussbaum: Democracy must give up empty & destructive thought of payback. Move toward a future of regal justice & human well-being #JeffLec17
Nussbaum: Malcolm X was wrong to criticize King's rejection of retribution. #Mlk #JeffLec17 #humanities #MLK
Nussbaum: Retributive desires are like the wild beasts in writings of Lucretiius. Anger is powerful, but always gets out of hand. #jefflec17
Nussbaum: History teaches that we always destroy ourselves when we allow ourselves to be governed by fear and anger. #JeffLec17#humanities
"Powerlessness and the Politics of Blame"
May 16, 2017 May 15, 2017 / johnfea
A couple of weeks ago I posted my tweets from Martha Nussbaum's Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities. I am happy to report that the transcript of the lecture is now available on the website of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Here is a taste of "Powerlessness and the Politics of Blame:"
It might seem strange to compare King to Aeschylus, though it's really not strange at all, given King's vast learning in literature and philosophy. He's basically saying the same thing: democracy must give up the empty and destructive thought of payback and move toward a future of legal justice and human well-being. King's opponents portrayed his stance as weak. Malcolm X said sardonically that it was like coffee that has had so much milk poured into it that it has turned white and cold, and doesn't even taste like coffee. But that was wrong. King's stance is strong, not weak. He resists one of the most powerful of human impulses, the retributive impulse, for the sake of the future. One of the trickiest problems in politics is to persist in a determined search for solutions, without letting fear deflect us onto the track of anger's errors. The idea that Aeschylus and King share is that democratic citizens should face with courage the problems and, yes, the outrageous injustices that we encounter in political and social life. Lashing out in anger and fear does not solve the problem; instead, it leads, as it did in both Athens and Rome, to a spiral of retributive violence.

Tweeting the 2017 NEH Jefferson Lecture
May 2, 2017 / johnfea
This morning I wrote a post on this lecture.
Martha Nussbaum's Jefferson Lecture offered a stinging critique to those who believe democracy can flourish, or justice can be obtained, through retributive anger.
Here are some my tweets:
Late night #humanities! I'm about to tweet Martha Nussbaum's Jefferson lecture on a 2.5-hour delay: https://t.co/pw8A9agHJZ #JeffLec17
— John Fea (@JohnFea1) May 2, 2017
William Adams: Jefferson lecture is the "highest honor bestowed by the National Endowment for the Humanities" #jefflec17 #humanities
Adams: I invited Nussbaum to give this lecture last July. "That was a long time ago." (laughter and applause) #jefflec17 #humanities
Nussbaum: "The humanities "are more necessary than ever." #jefflec17 #humanities #neh
Nussbaum: Anger is an outgrowth of fear–Lucretiius. #JeffLec17 #humanities #anger
Nussbaum: Anger is painful, but it contains a pleasant hope for retribution. #JeffLec17 #humanities
Nussbaum: "Transition anger" expresses a protest, but gets to work finding solutions rather than retribution. #JeffLec17 #humanities
Nussbaum: Lin Manuel Miranda has taught us that an anger based on status has been around since founding. #honor #JeffLec17
Nussbaum: Obsession with status and rating one another with a "thumbs up or down" is ultimately a sign of insecurity. #jefflec17 #humanities
Nussbaum: Aaron Burr shows us what we forfeit when we take up his mindset of being "in the room where it happens." #JeffLec17 #burr
Nussbaum: We often blame individuals and groups for a large systemic problem that they didn't cause. #JeffLec17 #humanities #anger
Nussbaum: It is comforting to think any bad event is someone's fault. Pinning blame is consoling. Gives us control. #jefflec17 #anger
Nussbaum: Anger translates into demonizing people who are easy to target–immigrants, working women, witches. #humanities #JeffLec17
Nussbaum: If we were not plagued by great vulnerability we would probably not get angry. #jefflec17 #humanities #anger
Nussbaum: Once people got to MLK protest their anger needed to be "purified" and "channelized." Must give up the "payback wish" #JeffLec17
Nussbaum:Democracy must give up empty & destructive thought of payback. Move toward a future of regal justice & human well-being #JeffLec17
Nussbaum: People are so sunk in "payback fantasies" that they prefer to accomplish nothing as long as they make enemies suffer. #jefflec17
Nussbaum: History teaches that we always destroy ourselves when we allow ourselves to be governed by fear and anger. #JeffLec17 #humanities
Nussbaum: Part of hard work of forging democracy requires initiatives to make common cause with opponents. #JeffLec17 #humanities #anger
Nussbaum: The "philosophical speaker" is humble and exposed, his or her position is transparent and thus vulnerable to criticism. #jefflec17
Humanities foster a way of conversing that substitutes respect for arrogance, and patient probing for overconfident boasting. #jefflec17
Martha Nussbaum on the Humanities
May 2, 2017 May 1, 2017 / johnfea
Last night in Washington D.C., University of Chicago philosopher delivered the 2017 National Endowment for the Humanities Jefferson Lecture. Several Messiah College students and faculty were in attendance.
I did some delayed tweeting of the talk last night @johnfea1. I used the #jefflec17 hashtag.
If you don't have time to watch the lecture or check the tweets, you may want to read Nussbaum's interview with NEH chair Williams Adams in Humanities magazine. Here is a taste:
WILLIAM D. ADAMS: Your book Not for Profit made the case for the importance of the humanities in American democratic life. Have things changed substantially since it was published in 2010?
MARTHA C. NUSSBAUM: Data on humanities majors is still a source of concern, but there's been a big increase in total enrollments in humanities courses in community colleges. And in adult education, too, there's been a huge upsurge. The preface to the new edition of my book gives data and sources on all this.
We are lucky in the United States to have our liberal arts system. In most countries, if you go to university, you have to decide for all English literature or no literature, all philosophy or no philosophy. But we have a system that is one part general education and one part specialization. If your parents say you've got to major in computer science, you can do that. But you can also take general education courses in the humanities, and usually you have to.
ADAMS: Yet I've sensed some weakening of our resolve to support the liberal arts. What should we be doing to reinforce your way of thinking about higher education?
NUSSBAUM: There are three points you can make. The one I think should be front and center is that the humanities prepare students to be good citizens and help them understand a complicated, interlocking world. The humanities teach us critical thinking, how to analyze arguments, and how to imagine life from the point of view of someone unlike yourself.
Secondly, we need to emphasize their economic value. Business leaders love the humanities because they know that to innovate you need more than rote knowledge. You need a trained imagination.
Singapore and China, which don't want to encourage democratic citizenship, are expanding their humanities curricula. These reforms are all about developing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship.
But the humanities also teach us the value, even for business, of criticism and dissent. When there's a culture of going along to get along, where whistleblowers are discouraged, bad things happen and businesses implode.
The third point is about the search for meaning. Life is about more than earning a living, and if you're not in the habit of thinking about it, you can end up middle-aged or even older and shocked to realize that your life seems empty.

Mt. Nasu: June 13-14, 2018
The images in this photo supplement follow the events in Chapter 10 of CLIMB: Leaving Safe and Finding Strength on 100 Summits in Japan. The captions offer "extra features": information that didn't make it into the book.
Bonus Photo: Nasushiobara Station Hotel
During my year in the mountains, I often stayed in hotels one station away from the place I planned to climb. Sometimes, this was due to a lack of lodging near the base of a given mountain, but more often I made the choice to take advantage of the better hotel prices slightly farther from a popular destination. (When you travel for a year, this makes a difference.)
Nasudake (Mt. Nasu) Trailhead
The rounded mountain at the top of the photo is the shoulder of Chausu–a live volcano, and one of the peaks in the Nasu Volcanic Complex. I took this picture to document not only the trailhead, but the delightful warning sign (a common sight on Japanese mountains)–helpfully posted at the base of the slope for anyone who somehow failed to notice the slipping hazard.
Bonus Photo: View from the slope of Mt. Chausu
I took this photo from the top of the slope in the previous photo, looking down. The visitor center and upper ropeway station is the white-roofed building on the left, about two-thirds of the way to the top of the frame.
The Nasu volcanic complex began erupting over 600,000 years ago; today, Mt. Chausu is the only major active peak in the Nasu range. The last major eruption occurred in 1963, and the peak remains on the Japanese government's "watch list" for active volcanoes.
The summit of Mt. Chausu
For purposes of the nihon hyakumeizan (100 famous mountains of Japan), only the highest peak in the Nasu complex–Mt. Sanbonyari–"counts," so although hikers must cross over the summit of Mt. Chausu to reach Mt. Sanbonyari, both peaks together counted as only one for purposes of my original 100 Summits goal.
Bonus Photo: The trail over Mt. Chausu
After passing the summit, the trail to Mt. Sanbonyari curls around the side of Mt. Chausu, slowly revealing the deep green, forested mountains beyond.
"the trail wound down the mountainside . . . past a mountain hut"
The building in the saddle, left of center, is the Nasudake Hut–an emergency hut and lodge where hikers can spend the night when passing through on longer hikes. This was the moment when I first wondered whether it would be possible to hike not only 100, but 1,000 mountains.
"the wind picked up both speed and strength"
These mountains look serene, but I hurried past as soon as I snapped the photograph, eager to escape the brutal winds that funneled through this valley between the peaks. The gusts were almost enough to knock me over.
Mountain chains
The steeper sections of Japanese mountain trails often have chains installed to mark the trail and serve as balance aids. In some cases, the chains are anchored directly into the rock; in others, as here, they're fed through poles. I eventually grew used to them, but Mt. Nasu was my first experience hiking on a trail with chains, and I found them terrifying.
Mountain chains, part deux
In retrospect, I wish I'd been less frightened on this trail. What you see in the photo above is the second set of chains on the Nasu hike. What you don't see is the nearly-vertical, 20+ meter drop off on the left side of the trail. At this point, the trail is only about a meter wide, and I was too scared to look down long enough to get a photo of the drop.
Bonus Photo: Mt. Chausu
After the chains, the trail led up a steep, rocky slope to a ridge with this spectacular view of Mt. Chausu. The trailhead and ropeway are on the far side of Chausu; this is the approximate halfway point of the climb to the summit of Mt. Sanbonyari.
High altitude alpine wetland, Mt. Nasu
The raised wooden walkway through the wetland is barely visible in the valley below; quite a few Japanese hiking trails run through protected grasslands and wetland areas, wooden boardwalks help keep hikers on the trail and protect the delicate alpine plants (and animals and insects).
Bonus photo: S. glassus Japonensis sunning on a rock
Orphaned hiking gear is a fairly common sight in the Japanese mountains; when hikers drop or forget an item, the next person along the trail often moves the gear to a visible location, safe from harm, where the owner can find and reclaim it–including expensive items like these Ray Bans.
"fields of sasa interspersed with brush"
The second half of the Nasu climb was so radically different from the barren slopes of Chausu that it was hard to believe this was still "one" peak.
Summit Photo: Sanbonyari (Mt. Nasu)
Despite the expansive view from the mountaintop, the brush crowded the upper part of the trail so closely that I didn't even realize I had almost reached the top until I emerged on the summit plateau. And yes, I was wearing two hats: the upper/outer one to block the sun and the inner one to block the wind (at this point, I still had no hair, and that wind was cold).
View from the summit of Mt. Sanbonyari/Nasudake
I had never experienced anything like the mountains of Japan. I could have stared at this vista forever . . . but I had a gondola to catch.
"my boot slipped on a patch of scree"
The place where I fell is the section of trail in the upper left side of the photo, beyond the ridge, to the left of Mt. Chausu.
"I heard the hissing, whistling sound of steam…"
Fumaroles are volcanic vents–a place where steam and gases escape or are forced from the ground. This one sounded like a locomotive, and looked far larger and closer than this picture suggests. (The fumarole is the white column of steam escaping from the mountain just to the left of the clouds, on the right side of the frame.) I snapped this single photo and hurried past, aware that fumaroles sometimes spit out pebbles as well as steam.
Bonus Photo: a misty descent from Chausu
Although I began my climb on a clear, sunny morning, by the time I ascended Sanbonyari and returned, a heavy afternoon mist closed in over Mt. Chausu and the surrounding peaks. I spent the last hour of my descent in heavy mist, looking forward to the volcanic hot spring bath that awaited at my next hotel–an hour to the north, at the base of another live volcano.

Unity, Solidarity, Multilateral Solutions Vital to Addressing Food, Energy Crises, Says Secretary-General, in Group of 20 Remarks
UN SG
SG/SM/21584
Following are UN Secretary-General António Guterres' remarks to the Group of 20 (G20) session on the food and energy crises, in Bali today:
We are on the way to a raging food catastrophe. People in five separate places are facing famine. Simultaneously, we are witnessing a crunch in the global fertilizer market.
Without coordinated action, this year's crisis of affordability may become next year's global food shortage. The Black Sea Grain Initiative, and the agreement to facilitate the supplies of Russian fertilizers, including ammonia, to global markets are essential.
Our contacts with the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and others have succeeded in removing many of the obstacles to the free flow of Russian food and fertilizers to global markets. Today, a first shipment of Russian fertilizers donated by Uralkem and managed by the World Food Programme (WFP) will start to be loaded in a Dutch harbour.
Food and fertilizers are not subject to sanctions, but suffer indirect impacts. We are working nonstop to resolve all remaining issues, chiefly around payments, and to renew the Black Sea Grain Initiative. I count on all of you to support these efforts.
A second major cause of this food crisis is lack of financing. Many Governments in the global South, battered by the COVID‑19 pandemic, the inequality in resources available for the recovery and the climate crisis, have no fiscal space to help their people deal with rising food and fertilizer prices accelerated by the war.
My call for a Sustainable Development Goals' stimulus is aimed at providing these countries with adequate liquidity, through a wider reallocation of special drawing rights, concessional financing to middle-income countries in distress, and effective mechanisms of debt relief and restructuring.
Transformational investments in agriculture, particularly in Africa, are essential to prevent future crises. But they need the resources to be implemented.
The climate crisis is the third factor pushing people into hunger. Changing weather patterns, droughts and storms are disrupting crop cycles and fisheries. Eighty percent of global emissions are sitting around this table. There is no way we can defeat climate change without a climate solidarity pact between developed countries and large emerging economies.
Developed countries must take the lead in reducing emissions. They must also mobilize, together with international financial institutions and technology companies, to provide financial and technical support so that large emerging economies can accelerate their transition to renewables. The Just Energy Transition Partnerships are an important first step. Which brings us to the energy crisis.
Many developing countries cannot afford soaring energy prices. We must avoid an energy scramble in which developing countries will come off worst — as they did in the competition for COVID‑19 vaccines.
Doubling down on fossil fuels is not the solution. If, in the last two decades, the world had massively invested in renewable energy, rather than its addiction to fossil fuels, we would not be facing the present crisis.
To summarize: we need unity, solidarity and multilateral solutions to address the food and energy crises, and to eliminate the trust deficit that is undermining global action across the board.
Multilateral solutions can only be built on fairness and justice. I urge G20 countries to consider these fundamentals in your decisions.

Non-Traditional Security Concerns in the New Normal
Nanyang Technological Univ.


Dubbed Securing America's Internet of Value Coalition (SAIV), the group includes, apart from Ripple, the RippleWorks Foundation; змеевик, a company developing a solution for digital payments; Hard Yaka, an investment firm focusing on digital assets; and PolySign, a company seeking to be a crypto custodian.
Most of the participants have links to Ripple; например, Coil was founded by the former CTO at Ripple Stefan Thomas and Hard Yaka has been working on a prepaid card allowing users to spend Ripple balances in real time.
С этой целью, the coalition has hired lobbying firm Klein/Johnson Group, a bipartisan lobby shop focusing on issues related to technology and financial services and boasting Oracle as one of its clients. Klein/Johnson was founded by former staffers of senators John Cornyn and Chuck Schumer.
особенно, the firm is going to be paid $25,000 a month, так же как 10,000 XRP – the Ripple-linked open-source crypto token worth $0.54 at press time.
SAIV will focus its efforts on working with US policy makers and government agencies "who can help us realize these initiatives," он объяснил.

The Penrose Awards bring together 200 Founders, Investors, Journalists & Innovation Specialists for an extraordinary innovation event.
The Penrose awards were held last night at Camden Interchange in London. The Penrose award brings together innovative startups, entrepreneurs, journalists and investors. Despite being only in its second year the awards are highly regarded as one of the most forward thinking events. An elite independent judging panel of pioneers, investors and innovation specialists selected from 50 extraordinary early stage ventures that challenge the status quo in their industry.
The event began with a discussion panel on 'What does a qualification look like in a post-AI world' with Jeremy Brown (founder Sense WorldWide), Jonathan Margolis (Financial times), Steve O'Hear (tech editor TechCrunch), Dr Ali Parsa (Babylon Health) and Dr Charles Wiles (ZZish).
The panel was then followed by a keynote speech from Billionaire entrepreneur Vernon Hill, Founder of Commerce Bank & Metro Bank PLC. Metro was the first new high street bank to launch in the UK for +150 years. In just 6 years, it has opened 42 branches & listed on The London Stock Exchange. Vernon shared his vision for better banking, alongside his own dramatic innovation story.
The Penrose Awards are a showcase of world-class entrepreneurs & innovations. It offers a birds-eye view on emerging technologies, and an opportunity to meet pioneers from across the UK. 50 Nominees are competing; from cutting-edge medical technologies, to artificial intelligence, to robotics, big data, IOT, to blockchain, and financial services.

UCT Boycott of Israeli Institutions Not anti-Semitic
by Iqbal Jassat | Oct 4, 2017 | MRN Views |
"By allowing Israeli institutions to function as normal, we stand to condone the violent actions of the State", is the poignant observation of Talya Lubinsky.
Writing on behalf of South African Jews for a Free Palestine (SAJFP), a civil society organization that is part of this country's host of solidarity movements for Palestine, Lubinsky makes a compelling case to boycott Israel's academic institutions.
And she is clear on one specific point: the call to the University of Cape Town (UCT) to adopt a boycott of Israel's academic institutions is not anti-Semitic.
Disputing the false notion purveyed by Israel's pressure groups in South Africa, which seeks to discredit and malign such boycott campaigns as anti-Semitic, Lubinsky doesn't mince her words.
While conceding that Universities are platforms for the exchange of ideas in the pursuit of learning and producing knowledge, it doesn't necessarily mean that such debates are isolated from contemporary political and social challenges.
Lubinsky explains that state funded academic institutions form part of the power wielded by governments. Therefore to boycott institutions of inherently unjust states is to challenge their oppressive systems.
The case of Israel is no different. It's academic institutions are key components of the scaffolding which props up Israel's regime of occupation, colonialism and apartheid. Thus to boycott such props or to call upon universities such as UCT to disengage from these is not only necessary but an imperative.
It is no exaggeration to state that since Israel's colonial imposition, its academics have by and large underpinned the regime's hegemonic political-military establishment.
Lubinsky correctly asserts that notwithstanding the efforts of a handful of principled academics, the rest are implicated in supporting and perpetuating Israel's systematic denial of Palestinian rights.
And to nullify deceitful allegations of anti-Semitism, she reminds us of an important fact: the call is not to boycott individual academics purely because they were born in Israel; it is aimed at all institutions functioning under the official governance of the state.
It is thus not surprising that the BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions) movement, including PACBI (Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel), rejects on principle boycotts of individuals based on their identity (such as citizenship, race, gender, or religion) or opinion.
However – here follows a big BUT – if an individual is representing the Israeli regime or a complicit Israeli institution (such as a dean, rector, or president), or is commissioned/recruited to participate in Israel's efforts to "rebrand" itself, then her/his activities are subject to the institutional boycott the BDS is calling for.
Lubinsky's compelling argument and well-reasoned case is sufficient grounds for the UCT to heed the call to boycott Israeli institutions. It doesn't need to fear or be intimidated by smear campaigns.
We are all familiar with such hateful slander which Lubinsky insists must not silence us: "The conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism is all too often invoked by the South African Jewish community to silence anti-Zionist protest".
Her plea to the Jewish community to see the campaign as an opportunity to stand up against human rights abuses, is equally powerful.
"By allowing Israeli institutions to function as normal, we stand to condone the violent actions of the state".

A small neutral country in central Europe, Switzerland is famous for lots of things, such as banking, chocolate, watches, weed and the Swiss Alps. Switzerland lies between Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein.
There are four official languages: German, French, Italian and Retoroman. These four languages differ slightly from the original languages, and there are many different accents spoken as well.
Though the city of Bern is being used as the capital, officially Switzerland doesn't have a capital. Zürich is the biggest city of Switzerland. Other well-known cities are Basel, Geneva and Lausanne.

Get the Switzerland mug.
A country that is small and neutral.
"The Swiss are small and neutral."
by Lugs-o October 18, 2004
A small land locked country in Central Europe surrounded by epic mountains and a bunch of countries who have done some crazy shit in the past, all of which Switzerland has refused to take part in. Switzerland has relatively high taxes, but because of this the government can afford to let everyone be parents for a couple of years whenever they have a baby, then when that baby is in high school the government pays for him to learn his way around an M-16. This is why nobody has ever had a beef with the Swiss, or if they did they sure kept quiet about it.
"Switzerland has always had a military draft-they have to, because they're surrounded by bastards." -Dr. John C. Freemuth

Switzerland is neutral like Wednesdays - the week is half over and only half to go until the weekend
A: Hey bro! Happy Switzerland!
B: What? Why Switzerland?
A: Because Wednesdays are neutral - it's not the beginning of the week and the week is half over!

*A European country.
*To be neutral; to be neither good nor bad, to neither attack nor be attacked; derived off of Switzerland's peaceful, stable nature.

PCI Compliance & Security
What Every Organization and Business Needs to Know About Card Data Security
July 26, 2017 | 4-minute read
How data security (or lack thereof) affects you.
You may be fluent in the language of PCI DSS, but what you may not know is what it means for you. Whether you're a software provider, a small business or a nonprofit, it's important to know about card data security. Check out how security vulnerabilities allowed Target's payment processing system to be breached, then download our free guide to better understand all things PCI.
Any merchant can be victim to a data breach. We know large organizations suffer from breaches—Target's December 2013 breach which led to data theft of 40 million credit and debit cards was, unsurprisingly, highly reported on. But small businesses should know that being small doesn't make them immune to breaches. Often, smaller merchants are more likely targets. For example, those in the hospitality industry are often breached because they used solutions that didn't do enough to reduce their PCI scope, or because they used those solutions incorrectly.
There are always new ways to hack into systems. Target was breached through hackers who stole login credentials from its HVAC contractor and used that access to break into its network. It's hard to believe something as innocuous as an HVAC system could lead to such a high-profile security breach, but the future may hold even more instances of everyday objects being used as a jumping point for data theft. The Internet of things (IoT), or the inter-networking of devices, vehicles and buildings has created a new industry in hacking. For instance, in 2017, an industrial dishwasher was discovered to have a vulnerability that allowed attackers to access the device and use it as a bouncing point for compromising other devices on the same network.
A data breach is incredibly expensive. Target paid $39 million to banks and card companies to settle lawsuits filed over the cost of replacing more than 17 million cards as a result of its data breach. A company financial statement revealed the breach cost $252 million in total. A small merchant facing a breach will find themselves fielding technical questions from their bank, processor and card brands. A breach can lead to a merchant needing to hire a forensic auditor, and the possibility of $5,000/month in fines from card brands until they are back in compliance. For a small business, these costs can be crippling.
…and it costs more than just dollars. Harder to measure than lost money is lost consumer trust. And this lack of trust has a noticeable impact on an organization's bottom line. So when it comes to security, better safe than sorry.
Protecting your business or organization is a matter of putting the right measures in place. Encryption and tokenization are two of the tools that can help increase card security. PaymentSpring's gateway utilizes both, and that's just one of the ways we look out for our merchants.
Dig a little deeper into PCI compliance and ways to protect your organization from a data breach.

I am having an issue with my data fields defaulting to another option when a rule is triggered.
This happens when the save button is pressed for the first time. Then if you readjust (even to incorrect information according to the rules) the second time save is pressed it will normally save what it has.
Is this normal? Or is there perhaps something wrong with my rules that may trigger this?
We are yet to take our study "live" as we want to figure this out first.

The FDA was created based on a need for safe and effective therapies in the United States, and the need for its intricate review and regulatory process remains.
The FDA review and approval process is often criticized and questioned, but strict regulatory oversight of drugs and devices exists in part because people in free societies like ours will try almost anything to obtain a cure or make a profit. As with most regulatory agencies, the FDA can trace its origins to situations where fraud, abuse, or dangerous practices led to injuries in an unsuspecting public.
For example, in 1902, several children contracted tetanus and died after receiving diphtheria antitoxin from a horse with tetanus.1 Public outrage over this incident and others eventually led to the passage of the Food and Drug Act in 1906, which ultimately led to the formation of the FDA. In its early years, there was considerable controversy over the proper role of the FDA and scope of its authority.
In 1927, a wealthy industrialist named Eben Byers injured his arm and began taking a product called Radithor. This patent medicine was created by William Bailey, a college dropout who claimed to be a medical doctor,2 and Radithor seemed to work well until Beyer's jaw fell off and he died. In 1937, more than 100 people died after taking sulfanilamide, which was incorrectly prepared with a toxic solvent.3 In the aftermath of these tragedies and others, the powers of the FDA were expanded.
Controversy over the proper role of the FDA continues to this day. One significant area of current controversy involves dietary supplements, which fall under a different set of regulatory rules than drugs. The FDA's role in monitoring nutritional supplements is much more limited, and abuses have occurred. Some nutritional supplements have been found to be illegally spiked with prescription medication. Others contain toxic or even carcinogenic substances. According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, an estimated 23,000 emergency room visits occur each year as a result of complications from dietary supplements.4 The vast majority of dietary supplements are safe and marketed by responsible companies, but as in the distant past, unscrupulous companies continue to exist.
The FDA seems receptive to the notion that drugs and devices can be safely evaluated and approved in a more timely fashion than in the past without compromising patient safety. In fact, there have been substantial changes in the speed with which FDA approvals occur. A recent study published in New England Journal of Medicine found that FDA drug approvals are outpacing European Union approvals.5 A number of recent political changes seem to signal that even more regulatory streamlining may be in store for the FDA.
Still, there are many technologies in ophthalmology that have been widely used outside the US for years that many surgeons wish were available here. Sometimes the lack of availability is simply a matter of money. As the costs associated with FDA approval have increased, many good technologies simply do not provide a sufficient economic return to justify the expense of obtaining US approval.
No one wants a return to the unregulated chaos of poisonous, contaminated, or radioactive medications. Safety is and should remain the No. 1 priority of all stakeholders in the approval process. While we can take some comfort from the fact that US approvals are outpacing those of the EU, one hopes that this is indeed due to streamlining of the FDA approval process and not the result of bogging down of the EU approval process. Evidence points to the former, and I hope we continue to see progress in this direction.

Aboulomanía (del griego α-, que significa sin, βούληση-, voluntad y μανία-, locura - demencia de la indecisión) es el desorden mental en el cual el paciente experimenta graves cuadros de indecisión en los diferentes campos de su vida cotidiana. ,  ,  Está comúnmente asociado con la ansiedad, el estrés, la depresión y la angustia, por lo que puede afectar severamente toda capacidad para sociabilizar.

Aunque muchas personas sufren de indecisión a diario, raras veces la sufren en la medida de la obsesión, ya que la región del cerebro asociada a la toma de decisiones racionales, la corteza prefrontal, puede contener varias piezas de información en un momento dado en una persona normal, pero en el ya mencionado desorden mental no es así.

Cuando se trata de tomar decisiones, independientemente de la importancia de estas, abruma rápidamente a alguien. El resultado es que el paciente califica sus decisiones como inadecuadas o que los resultados serán completamente adversos, por lo cual sobreanaliza cada situación críticamente y origina un clásico caso de parálisis del análisis. La falta de información en un tema, la dificultad para la valoración de cada una de las partes en la premisa y un resultado repleto de incertidumbre convierten cada escenario en un cuadro de obsesión.

Es frecuente confundir este trastorno con la abulia, que es otro desorden relacionado con la voluntad y la motivación, en el que la persona también experimenta una disminución de la motivación, de la energía y de la voluntad con la única diferencia respecto a la aboulomania, de que esta degenera en una obsesión y genera pensamientos recurrentes e intrusivos en la persona.

Síntomas

El principal síntoma que experimenta una persona con aboulomanía es la total incapacidad de tomar cualquier decisión. Esta incapacidad es constante y continua y se extiende en todos los ámbitos de la vida de la persona.

Esta incertidumbre adolece de unos niveles de angustia y ansiedad muy altos, puesto que la persona se somete a una tesitura perjudicial y desagradable para ella, solo por el hecho de no saber decidir dónde posicionarse.

Los pensamientos recurrentes y obsesivos en relación con la toma de decisiones son otros de los principales síntomas que responden a un cuadro clínico de aboulomanía. De la misma forma que este desorden  genera síntomas emocionales y cognitivos, también puede derivar en síntomas conductuales como:

 Rehusar de las responsabilidades personales, generando la necesidad constante de sentirse acompañado en el momento de tomar una decisión.
 Actitud pasiva en las relaciones de pareja.
 Evadirse de las exposiciones públicas por miedo a ser criticado o desaprobado.
 Evitar terminar una relación para no sentirse indefenso.
 Problemas para expresar desacuerdos o desavenencias con otras personas.

Causas de este trastorno

Hasta el momento no se ha conseguido determinar con exactitud la causa de este trastorno mental. No obstante se tiene la hipótesis de que se genera durante el desarrollo psicológico de la persona así como su unión a factores biológicos que conducen a esta persona a desencadenar este tipo de trastorno de la voluntad.

La corteza prefrontal del cerebro está estrechamente ligada con la toma de decisiones. Esta base orgánica unida a ciertos estilos de crianza sobreprotectores y autoritarios desempeñados por los progenitores, puede ejercer un papel muy importante en el desarrollo de este desorden. Algunos estudios apuntan a que estas acciones desencadenan en la dependencia del niño y, en el caso de que éste adolezca de susceptibilidad, puede desarrollar este desorden.

No obstante, la aboulomanía puede generarse debido a situaciones muy traumáticas o experiencias negativas en la que la persona se ha sentido humillada y avergonzada, lo que genera numerosas dudas e incertidumbre en la persona, que no se ve capacitada de realizar ninguna actividad correctamente,  llevar a cabo responsabilidades o una vida  de forma independiente.

Tratamiento
Normalmente los pacientes acaban recurriendo a ayuda psicológica, ya que los síntomas como la depresión y la ansiedad acompañan a este trastorno. Si el experto en salud mental consigue sacar a la luz este desorden de la voluntad, se puede llevar a cabo un tratamiento sintomático para los problemas de ansiedad y depresión llevando a cabo un entrenamiento de habilidades que faciliten el desarrollo de la autonomía personal.

Técnicas de asertividad  y habilidades sociales pueden ser muy efectivas para reducir los síntomas de la aboulomanía, así como una forma de ayudar a esas persona a entablar un relación sana con otras personas.
