Indian Americans Not Shy About Testing Political Waters in Mid Terms
Paul Kilduff | Nov 2, 2018
Indian Americans have set the stage for a potentially record-breaking year in U.S. politics as nearly 100 of them are on ballots accross the nation in next week's mid-term elections. And many are first-timers.
There's even a race for Congress pitting two Indian Americans against each other, the battle for Illinois' 8th Congressional district east of Chicago. Long held by popular Democratic incumbent Raja Krishnamoorthi, he is being challenged by Republican newcomer Jitendra "JD" Diganvker. An entreprenuer and Uber driver, Diganvker once supported Krishnamoorthi. He now faces an uphill battle against his well-funded opponent. Diganvker said he entered the political fray after witnessing the struggles of average Americans.
"To support my family, I began driving for Uber, logging over 10,000 rides since last year and learning the value of the gig economy. Talking to my Uber partners and riders, I gained a unique understanding of the needs and frustrations of everyday Americans. These are the people who go to work every day, take care of their families, and believe in the American dream. Yet they feel like politicians in DC and Illinois are failing them," he said.
Other first timers include:
Josh Kaul, a former federal prosecutor and candidate for Wisconsin Attorney General. A Democrat, he says he is running to make Wisconsin safer by tackling issues such as opioid and meth abuse, sexual assault, consumer fraud, and pollution. And he's putting the state's current Attorney General, Brad Schimel, squarely in his cross hairs.
Democrat Sri Preston Kulkarni is running for Texas' 22nd House seat covering the south central suburbs of Houston. His opponent is incumbent Republican Pete Olson, first elected in 2008.
"This election is the most important one in our lifetimes," says Kulkarni, a former U.S. Foriegn Service Officer. "After serving America for almost 15 years overseas, I could no longer serve under an administration that is violating the basic values that made America the great country it is today. When a judge is told he can't do his job because he's Mexican-American, or when the administration refuses to condemn a Nazi rally in Charlottesville, we have to take a stand and speak out for true American values." he said.
"I'm running for Congress because I believe our country is one that treats those who are less fortunate with compassion, that is reasonable in the way we deal with each other and treats all people with decency and respect."
In Arizona, newbie politician Anita Malik, a former tech company chief operating officer and journalist, is running for Scottsdale, Arizona's sixth Congressional district northeast of Phoenix. A Democrat, Malik says she's running because she believes the "district needs a representative who will listen to constituents and then represent them." She also says she "understands the small-business culture" of the district and wants "to fight for families."
The Indian American vote will be important for all these candidates, but according to Gautam Raghavan of the Indian American Impact Project and Fund that has endorsed several South Asians, Indian American voters aren't that different from other Americans when it comes to issues that concern them including health care, education, immigration.
He said recent polls by organizations such as APIA (Asian and Pacific Islander) Vote reveal that "Indian Americans are, among Asian Americans, the most enthusiastic about voting and the most worried about divisiveness in America today."
Paul Kilduff is a freelance writer based in San Francisco, California. He has written for the East Bay Times, San Francisco Chronicle, East Bay Monthly and many other publications. He has also worked in radio as a reporter, host and producer and even finds time to draw cartoons.

join our journey to where innovation happens everyday.
The Future Food Institute has founded its philosophy on a hands on approach for inspiring, enabling and empowering food leaders.The Future Food Institute brings the participants to where innovations happen, where new ideas are developed and tested, and eventually where such breakthroughs are delivered to the market through out-of-the-box business models. Reading or listening to conference talks about innovation falls short from triggering these AHA moments that can inspire innovation across different cultures and geographies.
Food Innovation Executive Boot Camp will be a 2-day intense workshop held in the Food Innovation Program OFFICUCINA in Reggio Emilia. The boot camp is designed to empower and advance the careers of forward thinking professionals already active in the food industry, both in Italy and abroad.

The Food Innovation Executive Mission is a 5-day Discovery tour that will include the chance to discover the unique entrepreneurial culture of Silicon Valley, meet disruptive food startups, and visit various innovative companies such as Google and AirBnB as well as experience first hand the birthplace of the Design Thinking Education Network at Stanford University in collaboration with the http://www.foodinno.org/ conference.
Get in contact with the Italian food startups that are changing the landscape which have been selected by Future Food at SMAU (the main innovation and digital event in Italy). You will be introduced to the full food innovation scene within the country with an opportunity to meet and network with some of these budding entrepreneurs. Work together with the support of our innovation coaches on the discovery mission experience in order to allow to all the participants to share inspirations and to get to know Food Innovation trends.
The Executive bootcamp has been designed for the seasoned experts in the agri-food sector, and from different disciplines. Participants in these programs are exposed to a wide range of inspiring projects and ideas that they can later bring home and implement in their corresponding realities. They can even come up with brand new ideas.
Explore different aspects of product, service and organizational innovation.
Establish a network of practitioners and innovation thought leader.
The Food Innovation Executive Program is a workshop that condenses the essential elements of the Food Innovation Program into core learnings, specifically tailored for those working in the food industry within Italy and abroad.
The Food Innovation Program is a 10-month Master's program that aims to disseminate and develop radical innovations in the food industry across the areas of Manufacturing, Production, Eating, Shopping and Distribution.
The boot camp is designed to empower and advance the careers of forward thinking professionals already active in the food industry, both in Italy and abroad.

If you read my 40K or 401k post, then you know I've been considering a change when it comes to my wargaming hobby. Staying true to the theme of this blog, I still don't have it all figured out (have I ever finished anything?). However, I have decided to scale back at the very least, and will be doing so through 40K Giveaway.
There may be posts here from time to time, but a lot of my work will be going up on that site. So if you've liked anything here, go check it out. Thanks for following me this far!
Recently, I've been thinking that I'll give up 40K, and sell all my miniatures. I rarely have the opportunity to play, and most of my Orks and Space Marines armies are unpainted. With 6th Edition almost here, there will be new rules and higher priced models that I will want to buy, which will probably only join the other unused toys on my shelves. Maybe it's better to just jettison this hobby, and relieve myself of the incessant but unrealized desire to be 40K involved.
Of course, I really enjoy nearly every aspect of the hobby. I let it balloon on me, so maybe I just scale back, sell off my Orks...maybe become one of those guys that just paints to sell, let painting be my hobby. That's what I decided.
I noticed that I was starting to slop things up on Ghaz, which means I needed a break from him. Here's a couple more of my Granite Guard. While they aren't finished, it was nice to work on something new. I've tried to speed up my process with these, which probably shows in these pictures. However, I think the finished product will be fine when viewed as a squad.


. . . As the Guardian points out, this has an important and likely not accidental effect: it leaves the State Department entirely unstaffed during these critical first weeks, when orders like the Muslim ban (which they would normally resist) are coming down.
(5) On Inauguration Day, Trump apparently filed his candidacy for 2020. Beyond being unusual, this opens up the ability for him to start accepting "campaign contributions" right away. Given that a sizable fraction of the campaign funds from the previous cycle were paid directly to the Trump organization in exchange for building leases, etc., at inflated rates, you can assume that those campaign coffers are a mechanism by which US nationals can easily give cash bribes directly to Trump. Non-US nationals can, of course, continue to use Trump's hotels and other businesses as a way to funnel money to him . . .
My dear friend, Kimberly, has a beautiful music performance/video that I produced that is in a singer/songwriter contest.
She is a fantastic singer, and her song is very inspirational and a quite powerful story of her search to regain her personal power.
A week ago she entered a contest that had already been running for over a month. In just the last 6 days she rose to 45th place out of over 6,300 contestants, most of whom had already been in the contest for over a month!
To vote for her, all you have to do is watch the video. If you love it, please share it. K&R this too, please.
I would also love any comments you might have.
I've been a DU member now for 10 years. Never asked for a favor like this before. Probably won't again.
This is very important for her as she now is approaching a darn good chance to be in the semi-finals. Every view matters!
Maybe the most disturbing video I have seen.
A. filmmakers Kate Davis, David Heilbroner and Franco Sacchi explore the lives of evangelical Christians who believe that Armageddon is imminent and that Israel will be the site of Jesus's second coming. The film follows evangelicals as they prepare for the apocalypse and examines how their beliefs and craving for destruction have influenced the U.S. government's relationships with Israel and Muslim majority countries.
I give myself a challenge to shoot in a small area, right around my house. These were all taken within a hundred yards of my back door.

Tilda Swinton stars as Eva, a forty-something woman who wakes up one morning to discover that her small, rickety house and battered car have been smeared with bright red paint. Annoyed but determined, she cleans her windscreen enough that she can drive and heads into town, where she gets a job at a thoroughly depressing travel agent. Happy with her new employment, meagre though it might be, she walks out on to the street and is promptly punched in the face by a woman she encounters. This series of events sparks off a slew of flashbacks as she looks back over the actions that led to her current situation. Or, more accurately, the actions of her son, Kevin (Ezra Miller), who committed a massacre at his school.
We Need To Talk About Kevin is at its strongest during its opening forty-five minutes, during which director Lynne Ramsay (making her first film since Morvern Callar in 2002, having spent much of the time in between trying to adapt The Lovely Bones before being replaced by Peter Jackson) creates an abstract and impressionistic examination of Eva's guilty state of mind. Jumping between multiple points along Kevin's development from screaming baby to brooding mass-murderer, the film builds a tremendous sense of purpose as images, items and behaviours repeat over and over, each time accruing meaning and power. The associative editing style gives the film the feeling of memory, a sense which is only heightened by Ramsay's focus on sound and texture to create sensory bridges between the different times. It's a heady, ambitious and atmospheric experience that plays to Ramsay's considerable strengths as a conveyor of mood and ambience as a means of storytelling. Emotions are implied by the sights and sounds - particularly Jonny Greenwood's score - rather than stated, and it is that elusiveness that makes the film fascinating.
It's also during this section that Tilda Swinton does some of the finest work of her career. She plays Eva as a complicated, frustrating woman who is uncertain about how her parenting shaped her son, but who clearly feels complicit in his killings to at least some degree. At the same time, she never makes her an easy character to like. She allows flashes of the bitterness and resentment that Eva feels towards Kevin - an unplanned child who she on some level blames for ruining her life - and she never goes the easy route of softening the character to make her more palatable. Swinton's icy, ethereal qualities are used beautifully throughout, particularly whenever she interacts with her husband (John C. Reilly), who has no conception of the cruelty and malice contained within the child he has helped raise, and with Jasper Newell and Ezra Miller as Kevin at different ages. In both cases she seems out of place and uncomfortable, aware that things are bubbling under the surface but uncertain what those things may be.
Whilst the film is so strong when it is being impressionistic, it falters considerably whenever it has to make things concrete. For its first two thirds the film creates an idea of what is happening, who the characters are and where the story is heading without being explicit. Even the violence, which I am told is pretty eye-opening in the novel, is kept off-screen, left to fester and grow in the minds of the viewers. It is compelling because it leaves enough room for the audience to fill in the details, rather than explaining everything right off the bat. However, having spent two-thirds of its running time showing without telling, the last third is devoted almost solely to filling in the blanks that the audience had already filled in long ago, making it all feel rather rote and redundant; They have already reached the conclusion and are just waiting for the film to catch up.
Considering how long she has been away, We Need To Talk About Kevin is not the unequivocal triumphant that I was hoping for from Lynne Ramsay. It never matches the invention and audacity of its opening, the last third feels expositional in comparison to the elliptical first two, and many of its admirable qualities undercut each other. However, it is still a very good film that marks a welcome return for a director who has spent too long in the wilderness.

By Michael Biesecker, Mary Clare Jalonick and Eric Tucker, with the Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — A close associate of President Donald Trump's personal lawyer says he delivered an ultimatum in May to the incoming president of Ukraine that no senior U.S. officials would attend his inauguration and all American aid to the war-torn country would be withheld if an investigation into Joe Biden wasn't announced.
Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani, made several potentially explosive claims in a televised interview Wednesday night with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. The day after Parnas said he delivered the message, the U.S. State Department announced that Vice President Mike Pence would no longer be attending the inauguration of Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelenskiy.
Parnas alleged that Trump ordered Pence to stay away at the behest of Giuliani to send a clear message to the incoming Ukrainian administration that they needed to take seriously the demand for an investigation into Biden, a Democratic presidential candidate seen as a potential threat to Trump's 2020 reelection.
Parnas said every communication he had with Zelenskiy's team was at the direction of Giuliani, whom he regularly overheard briefing Trump about their progress by phone.
"President Trump knew exactly what was going on," said Parnas, a Soviet-born Florida businessman facing a raft of criminal charges related to campaign finance violations. "He was aware of all my movements. I wouldn't do anything without the consent of Rudy Giuliani, or the President."
If true, Parnas' account undercuts a key Republican defense of Trump deployed during the ongoing impeachment fight — that Trump's withholding of vital military aid to Ukraine last summer wasn't a quid pro quo for Biden investigations because Zelenskiy didn't know the money was being held up.
Giuliani called Parnas' statements "sad."
"I feel sorry for him," Giuliani said Wednesday in a text message to an AP reporter. "I thought he was an honorable man. I was wrong."
Asked directly if Parnas was lying, Trump's lawyer replied, "I'm not responding yet."
Parnas said he also heard Giuliani and another Trump-aligned defense lawyer, Victoria Toensing, briefing Attorney General William Barr by phone about their efforts to pressure the Ukrainian government to announce the investigation into Biden and his son Hunter's business dealings.
"Barr was basically on the team," Parnas said.
The Justice Department said in September that Trump had not spoken to Barr about having Ukraine investigate the Bidens and that the attorney general had not discussed Ukraine with Giuliani. Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said Wednesday that Parnas' claims were "100% false."
The new accusations came as House Democrats made public a trove of documents, text messages and photos from Parnas' smartphones that appear to verify parts of his account.
A federal judge earlier this month ruled that Parnas could provide the materials to Congress as part of the impeachment proceedings. Democrats voted in December to impeach Trump for abuse of power and for obstruction of Congress.
A House committee chairman said Wednesday his panel will investigate what he says are "profoundly alarming" text messages among the newly disclosed materials that have raised questions about the possible surveillance of former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch before she was ousted by the Trump administration last spring.
The messages show that a Robert F. Hyde, a GOP candidate for Congress from Connecticut, disparaged Yovanovitch in messages to Parnas and gave him updates on her location and cellphone use.
Rep. Eliot Engel, a New York Democrat who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Wednesday that the messages are "profoundly alarming" and "suggest a possible risk" to Yovanovitch's security in Kyiv before she was recalled from her post.
"These threats occurred at the same time that the two men were also discussing President Trump's efforts, through Rudy Giuliani, to smear the ambassador's reputation," Engel said.
He said the committee staff flagged the information for the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security and is seeking assurances that proper steps have been taken to ensure the security of Yovanovitch and committee staff. He said he also wanted to know what, if anything, the State Department knew about the situation.
"This unprecedented threat to our diplomats must be thoroughly investigated and, if warranted, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Engel said.
In a Twitter-post Tuesday, Hyde called Parnas a "dweeb" and suggested the messages about surveilling the ambassador were a joke.
Parnas, in turn, also said Wednesday that Hyde's texts shouldn't be taken seriously.
Democrats released the files Tuesday and Wednesday as they prepared to send articles of impeachment to the Senate for Trump's trial. The documents could add pressure on the Senate as it debates whether to hear witnesses in the trial.
The text and phone records show Parnas communicating with Giuliani multiple times a day before Yovanovitch's removal, as well as a handwritten note that mentions asking Ukraine's president to investigate "the Biden case."
Among the documents is a screenshot of a previously undisclosed letter from Giuliani to Zelenskiy dated May 10, 2019, which was shortly after Zelenskiy was elected but before he took office. In the letter, Giuliani requests a meeting with Zelenskiy "as personal counsel to President Trump and with his knowledge and consent."
The Associated Press reported in October that Zelenskiy had huddled three days earlier, on May 7, with a small group of key advisers in Kyiv to seek advice about how to navigate the insistence from Trump and Giuliani for a probe into the Bidens. He expressed his unease about becoming entangled in the American elections, according to three people familiar with the details of the three-hour meeting. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the diplomatic sensitivity of the issue, which has roiled U.S.-Ukrainian relations.
One of the documents released by Democrats is a handwritten note on stationery from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Vienna that says "get Zalensky to Annonce that the Biden case will be Investigated."
Parnas told Maddow he took the notes as he was speaking by phone to Giulliani, receiving precise instructions about the demands Trump wanted to convey to Zelenskiy's team.
Trump asked Zelenskiy in a July 25 call to investigate the Bidens. Hunter Biden served on the board of a gas company based in Ukraine.
The documents were sent to the House Judiciary Committee by three other House panels "to be included as part of the official record that will be transmitted to the Senate along with the Articles of Impeachment," according to a statement. Some of the materials were made public while others were blacked out and marked as sensitive.
Parnas and his business partner, Igor Fruman, both U.S. citizens who emigrated from the former Soviet Union, were indicted last year on charges of conspiracy, making false statements and falsification of records. Prosecutors allege they made outsize campaign donations to Republican causes after receiving millions of dollars originating from Russia. The men have pleaded not guilty.
In several of the documents, Parnas communicated with Giuliani about the removal of Yovanovitch. The ambassador's ouster, ordered by Trump, was at the center of the Democrats' impeachment inquiry. Yovanovitch testified in the House impeachment hearings that she was the victim of a "smear campaign."
Trump on the July call told Zelenskiy that Yovanovitch was "going to go through some things." She had been recalled from her diplomatic post roughly three months earlier.
On April 23, just before Yovanovitch was directed to return to the United States, Giuliani texted Parnas, "He fired her again." Parnas texted back, "I pray it happens this time I'll call you tomorrow my brother."
Parnas also received messages from Hyde, who referred to Yovanovitch as a "bitch." Hyde is now running for a U.S. House seat in Connecticut.
After texting about the ambassador, Hyde gave Parnas detailed updates that suggested he was watching her. In one text, Hyde wrote: "She's talked to three people. Her phone is off. Her computer is off." He said she was under heavy security and "we have a person inside."
Hyde at one point texted Parnas that ″they are willing to help if we/you would like a price," and "guess you can do anything in Ukraine with money … is what I was told."
Parnas texted back: "lol."
In an interview with The Associated Press, another committee chairman, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, said the texts are "deeply disturbing" and the evidence they compiled "certainly suggests that people were surveilling the ambassador."
"What's most disturbing about these texts is that they seem to suggest that there's somebody inside the embassy who's supplying information to Parnas and Hyde about the movement of the ambassador," Schiff said. "So it raises a whole host of troubling questions," he said, about how far the president and Giuliani were willing to go.
Lawrence Robbins, an attorney for Yovanovitch, called for an investigation into the messages.
"Needless to say, the notion that American citizens and others were monitoring Ambassador Yovanovitch's movements for unknown purposes is disturbing. We trust that the appropriate authorities will conduct an investigation to determine what happened."
On Twitter, Hyde dismissed the claims as "laughable" and appeared to try to distance himself from Parnas. He said he would "welcome" an investigation.
The text messages show that Parnas consulted Giuliani in January 2019 after the U.S. denied a visa to former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. Giuliani replied: "I can revive it."
The following day, Giuliani told Parnas, "It's going to work I have no 1 in it." Giuliani then predicted "he will get one," before giving Parnas the phone number for Jay Sekulow, the leader of the president's personal legal team. Sekulow is expected to be part of Trump's legal team during the impeachment trial.
Trump has repeatedly denied knowing Parnas and Fruman, despite numerous photos that have emerged of the men together. Among the materials released from Parnas' phone this week were more photos of him with Trump, as well as the president's son Donald Trump Jr., first daughter Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner.
Asked by Maddow about Trump's denials of knowing him, Parnas said he had spoken one-on-one with the president numerous times.
"He lied," Parnas said of the president. "I mean, we're not friends. Me and him didn't watch football games together, we didn't eat hot dogs. But he knew exactly who we were, who I was especially."

The government has been riding roughshod over the farmers while acquiring land in Chandauli and Mirzapur districts of Uttar Pradesh for the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor rail project, an extreme Left outfit has alleged.
Ramji Rai, state secretary of the CPI (ML) Liberation, said his party has been supporting a local farmers' agitation against land acquisition, which is being carried out against all norms and rules.
"Farmers of the Cheeto village in Chandauli have been staging a sit - in from February 25 against land acquisition and our party workers, led by Shashikant Kushwaha, are also on a hunger strike from July 11 at the District Magistrate's office, " said Rai.
He said the agitation would be scaled up if land acquisition was not stopped right away.
"Rather than listening to the protestors' pleas, the officials have been trying to muzzle the voice of the farmers, " said Rai, who is a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist - Leninist) Liberation politburo.
He said an Additional District Magistrate had assured the farmers, who are set to lose their land, that they would get a job with the Railways, compensation at market price, and proper rehabilitation.
"Since these things have not been implemented, we have been forced to take the path of agitation", Rai said.
The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor is being implemented by the Indian Railways.
The project envisages construction of a 1, 839 - km broad gauge rail line from Ludhiana in Punjab to Khurja in Uttar Pradesh for transporting industrial goods - - with subsequent development of more industries along the route on both sides.
Uttar Pradesh accounts for 1, 049 km, passing through 18 districts, of the 1, 839 km of the project which has been funded by the World Bank.
The state government has projected Rs 42, 000 crore of investment coming through the project which, it says, will herald an "industrial revolution" in Uttar Pradesh.


Facebook Regional Director for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa James Quarles touted the social network's mobile growth in an interview with Reuters, saying that mobile monthly active users in June were up 18 percent in the U.S. compared with June 2012, and up 22 percent in the U.K.
We see this as a fantastic opportunity with empirical evidence of people staying engaged on mobile phones and using Facebook.
As people are away and on holiday, it provides a different opportunity for brands to think differently about Facebook.
When people are that engaged, checking their Facebook 14 times per day, if advertisers can deliver the right message to the right audience you can really see some business impact.
Readers: What do you think Facebook will announce in terms of mobile growth during its second-quarter earnings call next Wednesday?

The recent firing of the prominent anti-monopolist Barry Lynn and his Open Markets team from a Google-funded think tank has amplified attention on the tech giant's readiness to use its power to suppress criticism and sway the cultural dialogue in its favor.
Lynn has previously collaborated with the Authors Guild in our work advocating for antitrust scrutiny of Amazon and its monopsony power as a buyer of books. Notably, he teamed with Guild council member Douglas Preston and his grassroots group Authors United (which has since merged with the Authors Guild) to draft a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice laying out the antitrust case against the online retailer. While with New America, Lynn also teamed with a number of Guild council members (Preston, along with Scott Turow, Susan Cheever, and John R. MacArthur, and a number of other writers and thinkers) to participate in a symposium, "Amazon's Book Monopoly: A Threat to Freedom of Expression?" in Washington, D.C.
Google's disturbing attempts to influence the flow of information extend beyond suppressing voices critical of the corporation; it's also been revealed that the company has a practice of funding favorable research. The watchdog group Campaign for Accountability released a report this summer identifying 329 Google-funded research papers, published between 2005 and 2017, on matters of public policy of interest to Google. The report revealed that Google-funded studies appeared to spike whenever the company's business model was under threat from regulators or whenever opportunities arose to force new regulations onto competitors. Particularly of note, Google-funded antitrust studies spiked in 2012 during the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust probe of the company while Google-funded copyright papers surged as the company fought anti-piracy bills. These revelations are made even more troubling by the fact that the FTC's Bureau of Competition cut its investigation of Google short in 2015 despite staff recommendations. The report further cements Google's position as a corporate leviathan in Washington, DC's lobbying scene as the company's tree of influence continues to grow.
We look forward to continuing to work with Lynn and his team. We're hopeful that the attention that incidents like these bring to Internet monopolies' control of our information infrastructure and the related harm they bring to the creative industries is part of a growing recognition that the regulation of Internet giants like Google and Amazon may be required to keep intact the free flow of information in this country.

U. adds transgender insurance
Student Insurance Plan will now cover costs of gender-confirmation process up to $50,000
By Karen Aquino 04/14/10 4:40am
In the next academic year, the Penn Student Insurance Plan will begin offering a new benefit for transgender students — it will cover the cost of the gender confirmation process, also known as gender reassignment or transition.
The benefit covers triadic treatment, the term used for the three-step process of gender confirmation. Triadic treatment consists of psychotherapy, estrogen or testosterone hormone treatment and sex reassignment surgery, which involves the changing of genitals.
The benefit covers the costs of surgery for up to $50,000. According to a research report by the organization Transgender At Work, the cost of male-to-female surgery can average around $20,000.
The initiative was introduced by the previous Lambda Alliance board, chaired by College senior and Daily Pennsylvanian columnist Dennie Zastrow.
"A problem with LGBT advocacy at Penn in the past had been that we overlooked the needs of transgender students," Zastrow said.
According to the American Medical Association, a lack of proper treatment for transgender individuals can lead to "significant psychological distress, dysfunction, debilitating depression and for some patients without access to appropriate medical care and treatment, suicidality and death."
Meeting their health-insurance needs was one way of ensuring the transgender community was looked after, Zastrow said.
Last semester, Zastrow brought the proposal before the Student Health Insurance Advisory Committee, a group consisting of undergraduate, graduate and professional students, as well as University administrators, that makes recommendations to the Office of the Provost regarding changes in student insurance.
After discussing the gender confirmation benefit, researching the costs and consulting with Aetna — Penn's insurance provider — the Advisory Committee voted to recommend the "important" benefit to the president and provost, according to Engineering sophomore Shantenu Agarwal, a undergraduate representative on the Advisory Committee.
Last week, Penn President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price gave the final approval for the Advisory Committee's recommendations, thus finalizing the benefit's inclusion in student insurance for next year.
The cost of the premium will likely only increase by a matter of cents, which is "very little for something so important for people who are transgender," College junior and Lambda Vice Chairman for Political Affairs Jason Goodman said.
Because the PULSE survey, a questionnaire administered last year that gauged student climate on campus, did not publish data on the transgender community, it is hard to fully know the number of transgender students on campus, according to Goodman.
The transgender community's lack of visibility "also has to do with the fact that if you're a trans student, you want to live your life and not have to educate people," Zastrow said. "But even if it impacts one person, all the advocacy efforts will have been worth it."
Offering coverage for transgender students is "a necessary standard ... that brings us up to a level of parity" to other schools that already offer such benefits, Lambda Alliance Chairman and Wharton and Engineering sophomore Tyler Ernst said.

The next step, according to Ernst, would be to ensure that a similar benefit is added to the staff health insurance plan, which differs from that of students.
According to Penn's Non-Discrimination Policy, the school does not discriminate on the basis of gender identity.
Without covering the transition process for transgender students, "we previously were [discriminating], and now we're taking steps to rectify that," Zastrow said.

There's Going To Be A Suicide Squad Post Credit Scene
BY Jessica Kanzler June 18, 2021June 18, 2021
Leading up to the release of any highly-anticipated movie, there are going to be questions. What's the movie about? How long is it? Are there any dogs? Can I pet the dogs? The curiosity is valid, and in the last few years, one particular question has been asked at the end of pretty much every major movie with a superhero or a Star War. Is there going to be a post credit scene or can I throw away my cup full of soda-flavored water? Most of the time, the answer is yes, and this week is no different and no less exciting because James Gunn confirmed that there will be a Suicide Squad post credit scene.
Why Are Post Credit Scenes A Thing
Post credit scenes tend to have a certain flavor, and that flavor suits a purpose. Movies that know they're part of a franchise before they've ever seen the screen are what really started making post credit scenes popular. They've been around for a while, but it's mostly in the last decade or so that they've been getting a lot of attention, but why is that? What do they do?
Some post-credit sequences, like the one at the end of Thor: Ragnorok add something to the story, but they also subvert in a way that's for your eyes only because you were clever enough to stay in the theater: "Asgard is saved! Oh, wait no, Asgard is doomed." Others give you something fresh and new, a strong flavor to keep the next movie minty fresh in your mind. The term "Post credit scene" takes a while to say, but so does additive subverting eye mint. If we're going to be talking about this for decades more, maybe we can just abbreviate it to something simple like add-vert-eyes-mints. Or maybe we'll just stick to post-credit scene.
Post-credit scenes have historically been a gift. They leave us with some tantalizing detail about another part of the franchise (pretty much any Marvel movie), add some bonkers detail to the movie you just watched (Wonder Woman 1984), or give you a change of tone or a note of humor to leave the theater on (Dude, Where's My Car, that movie with Ashton Kutcher that was the pinnacle of late 90s and early 2000s slapstick stoner humor). To summarize, they get you feeling some strong emotion that you can leave the theater with.

Yes, but What's The Post Credit Scene For Suicide Squad Going to Be About
We don't know, but the fun part isn't knowing. The fun part is guessing! These scenes are there to get you leaving the theater with one last really tasty flavor of film that you can talk about even after you've finished talking about the rest of the movie. It's a question movies want you to try to answer, but nobody who isn't involved in the creation of Suicide Squad has seen enough of the movie to make a good guess for what a post credit scene would be about. So here are some bad ones.
Henry Cavill is sitting in front of a computer writing up a story about the chaotic heroics of these lovable villains. Off-screen, Lois Lane calls the name "Clark," and the screen goes black. No, too predictable. It's King Shark getting a phone call. It's his son, Taylor Lautner. The reunion will be planned for 6 seasons and a movie and get cancelled after 3. Plausible but not likely. No, post credit sequences are there to build hype, to give us something to latch onto but also to speculate wildly about. It's going to be a crossover. Peacemaker and Bloodsport are in their cells, a window in the air next to Bloodsport opens, out walks Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleson. This is a multiverse crossover preview of the next episode of Loki. 2 seconds later, the scene ends. Or it's just Robert Pattinson's Batman opening his eyes dramatically. Probably that, honestly.

If we want to speculate about the rest of the movie, which Gunn confirmed is going to be 2 hours and 12 minutes long, we can mostly say it looks sick. Both Guardians of the Galaxy movies captured a similar kind of chaotic humor that seems like it's going to work great for Suicide Squad. And he also wrote Super, that shockingly good take on superheroes with Rainn Wilson that managed to blend indulgent violence with genuine criticism of the idea of superheroes. This movie is going to be cool, just hold tight and think of Mister J.
How do you feel about post credit scenes? Do you stay in the theater to watch them, or do you just look them up online later? Tell us about it before you throw out your popcorn bag!

Rabat will become the first African city to host an International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Diamond League meeting after the event's General Assembly voted for the Moroccan capital to replace New York City in 2016.
The decision was made in Zurich, with Rabat now joining a list of 14 locations which will host events during the prestigious series.
Rabat, which first applied to host an event in 2014, was subject to a rigorous evaluation process to confirm that its organisation, facilities and services were of a high enough standard to be included on the international circuit, the IAAF claimed.
Competition will take place at the Complexe Prince Moulay Abdellah, which stages the international Mohammed VI event annually.
"This is a proud moment for our country's athletics community and for the international reputation of Moroccan sport in general," said Abdeslam Ahizoune, President of the Royal Moroccan Athletics Federation and the meeting director.
The event will be the third stop on the series, which sees the world's top athletes compete in 32 individual track and field disciplines, with competition scheduled to be held on May 22.
It will follow the season opening competition in Doha on May 6, with events also scheduled to take place later that month in Shanghai and Eugene respectively on May 14 and 28.
Rome, Birmingham, Oslo and Stockholm are set to stage events during June, before athletes will have their final Olympic preparations in Monaco on July 15 and London on July 22 and 23.
Newly crowned Olympic champions are expected to be among those returning to the series on August 25 in Lausanne and two days later in Paris, before competition draws to a close with meetings in Zurich and Brussels on September 1 and 9 respectively.
With the series having already had events held in North America, Europe and Asia since its launch in 2009, IAAF President Sebastian Coe believes taking the Diamond League to a new continent is an important step.
"We are pleased to be able to take our premier athletics series into a new continental area," said the Diamond League chairman, who last year claimed bringing the IAAF World Championships to Africa in the next decade was a priority.
"The IAAF Diamond League offers the best athletics entertainment to the world outside of the IAAF World Championships and the Olympic Games.
"Broadcast annually in more than 120 countries, the series provides athletics with its next most prominent global shop window.
"We thank New York for contributing to this great project during the past six seasons and know that they will continue to support athletics in the future.
"We proudly welcome the inclusion of Rabat."
New York City organisers have claimed that they want to focus on a "street" athletics meeting in order to attract a younger generation of fans.
"It's been a great run on Randall's Island, New York, and now we're looking ahead to producing a new event," said Mark Wetmore, Meeting Director of New York.
"As we look forward, we believe that changing our focus to a street meet is one way to make the event attractive to a younger audience."
