Cornell Graduate Student Assistants Seek Unionization
By Samantha Torre
An August 2016 National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision involving Columbia University categorized graduate students at private universities as employees under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), granting them the right to unionize and collectively bargain with their employers. The decision reversed a previous case at Brown University which stated that graduate assistants were primarily students rather than economic laborers and were not protected by the NLRA. Anticipating this reversal, Cornell's administration signed a "code of conduct" agreement with Cornell Graduate Students United (CGSU) in May of 2016, agreeing to, among other things, a fair process in the event of a union recognition election.
Above other concerns, CGSU seeks recognition as valuable employees from the administration and demands a voice in the arguably unilateral decision-making process. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) authorized a recognition election on March 27, 2017; the bargaining unit, or those eligible to vote, consisted of current teaching assistants and research assistants at the graduate level. Of the 1,856 votes cast, neither side earned a majority. According to a letter written by several graduate students on CGSU's website, a vote of "yes" received 49.5 percent of the votes, a vote of "no" received 46.1 percent of the votes, and the remaining 4.4 percent are either "challenged ballots, unresolved marking-related challenges, or absentee ballots that need to be verified." AAA is expected to make a final determination about the ballots within the next several weeks.
The results prompted questions of misconduct. As the election neared, it became increasingly apparent that Cornell did not exactly welcome the idea of a union. In a press release dated March 29, Andrew Cook of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), CGSU's national union affiliate, briefed their frustrations. Cook stated that prior to voting, Cornell's administration issued an unprompted email warning grads that unionizing could result in fewer graduate assistants hired the following year. Cook continued and stated that hours before voting began on the day of the election, Cornell distributed another email alleging that members of CGSU and its affiliates made attempts to coerce skeptical grads into refraining from voting–a claim yet to be substantiated. Additionally, Cook emphasized the convenient timing of Cornell's announcement to lower health care costs for the 2017-2018 school year; while concerns surrounding health care remain at the fore of CGSU's platform, Cornell's rather timely concessions suggested underlying anti-union sentiments. AFT President, Randi Weingarten, stated, "As an alumna of the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations, I want to say how deeply disappointed I am with the egregious conduct of the university. Cornell flagrantly violated the spirit of both the code of conduct we negotiated and federal labor law."
The narrow voting margins only provoke further accusations of Cornell's misconduct. Concerns that Cornell's actions produced "chilling" effects on voters and interfered with the free election continue to arise. Whether or not CGSU will file charges of unfair labor practice against Cornell, however, remains uncertain.

We've been silent! But it's our birthday!
August marks a year since starting this blog… Happy birthday to us! Hooray for my dear friend who kick started things last year by turning the idea I'd chatted through with her into a reality and giving me this site as a birthday present (have a read about how and why things started).
But justice is something I'm still passionate about – and especially about telling your environmental, social or economic justice related stories. And so I really would love to keep this blog ticking over as and when I can. (On that note, if you'd be interested in joining the team do let me know!) Things may slow down a little, but along with some great people I'll be working with, we've got some exciting ideas in the pipeline (that sentence reads terribly… but time is limited and I can't make it work right now, soz) Over the next 6 months or so we'll be sharing one more cloth nappy post to complete that series, some inspiring stories from people passionate about plastic (or rather passionate about eliminating it!) as well as some stories from some of our favourite campaigns and justice bloggers. So stick close… and enjoy the ride.

Peter Parker Meets Miles Morales in SPIDER-MEN Coming in June 2012
Posted on the 11 April 2012 by Comicscritic @comicscritic
Peter Parker and Miles Morales Meet For The First Time in June
Today, after two months of secrecy and teaser images, Marvel released the details of their Spider-Men series by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli.
Here are all the details…
This June, it's time for Peter Parker, better known as the Amazing Spider-Man, to cross worlds and meet Miles Morales…the all-new Spider-Man? Marvel is proud to announce Spider-Men, an all-new five issue landmark story from award-winning author Brian Michael Bendis (Avengers VS. X-Men, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man), red-hot artist Sara Pichelli (Ultimate Comics Spider-Man) and acclaimed cover artist Jim Cheung (Avengers VS. X-Men), which brings Peter Parker and Miles Morales together for the first time. That's right, the Spider-Man from two different realities—the Marvel Universe and Ultimate Comics Universe—bring their worlds together for a battle no one web-head could win!
When Spider-Man tracks down one of his deadliest villains, he suddenly finds himself thrust into another world where Peter Parker is dead…and there's a new Spider-Man in town. As these two heroes learn the truth about their identities and their universes, they'll embark on a journey that'll leave them forever changed—and reveal a startling truth about a key player in the Spider-Man mythos!
"This year is the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man and we're so happy that the stars aligned for us to tell a Spider-Man story that nobody has ever seen before," said Bendis. "It's an honor and a privilege to present both this story and these characters to fans on such an auspicious occasion. The work Sara has done on Spider-Men is a step above the already high standard that she has set for herself on our Ultimate Comics Spider-Man series. For me, this is a celebration of the best character in mainstream comics and some of the best art mainstream comics has to offer."
Each issue of Spider-Men features variants covers by some of the biggest names in comics including Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-Man), Mike Deodato (New Avengers), Marcos Martin (Amazing Spider-Man), Terry Dodson (Avenging Spider-Man), Travis Charest (Captain America) and Sara Pichelli.
"Knowing how much Brian loves and respects Spider-Man, there's no way I wouldn't want to work on Spider-Men with him," said Sara Pichelli. "It's going to be an explosive celebration of Spider-Man's 50th anniversary—are you ready?"
In 1962's Amazing Fantasy #15, the world first met Peter Parker and saw him become the hero Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe. Soon after, Spider-Man became a pop culture sensation, launching multiple television series, blockbuster films and some of the most popular comics of all time. Then in 2011, Marvel introduced Miles Morales, a new character of African American and Hispanic descent, who became Spider-Man in the Ultimate Comics Universe after that world's Peter Parker perished.
"This is one of the biggest stories in Marvel history," said Axel Alonso, Editor in Chief, Marvel Entertainment. "Peter Parker and Miles Morales are two of our most popular characters and fans have been clamoring for them to meet—we've got quite a few surprises in store for both characters. This is only the beginning of how we're celebrating Spider-Man's spectacular 50th Anniversary."
This June, swing into action with world's most amazing super heroes in Spider-Men #1.

Have you ever noticed people love to give advice? It is flattering to be asked an opinion, especially if it's considered more valuable because of your expertise.
An Information Interview is not asking for a job.
It's also not a sales pitch. It is strictly asking questions to get advice from an expert.
It also happens to be a good way to introduce yourself to potential employers and help you decide if this is a field you want to get into, or more poignantly, what you might be diving into.
For instance, the going rate for teaching kids yoga for an hour class in my city (Toronto – population just under 3 million) is between $35 – $250 per class. The price varies depending on size, experience, location, frequency, and extra work (advertising and registration) involved in organizing your class.
What is the price range for your area? Each district, city, or country values these skills differently and you can get an idea of the pay rate in your area in an Information Interview.
Out of respect for the person you are interviewing and to make the most of your time prepare yourself in advance for the interview.
I recommend having your questions ready before you call for an interview. You may call someone and they will to talk to you right away. You will want to be ready.
Take your list of potential places to teach (see this post) and create a survey for your top three. Most of the questions will be the same, but think of a few unique questions for the specific place.
Interviewing experts suggest that to get accurate answers, it is better to ask people what they did in the past rather than what they want to do in the future. After all, isn't that one reason to meditate, to break free from our past karma!
How many specialty teachers, like yoga teachers, dance teachers, clowns, magicians did you bring to your school last year?
How many specialty teachers. like yoga teachers, dance teachers, clowns, magicians do you plan on bringing in?
What we actually do, compared to what we plan to do, are often different. Try to find out what they actually did.
When you were in school what did you like better, open ended tests or multiple choice? Most people prefer multiple choice.
It will be easier and faster to answer multiple choice questions. They know exactly what you want. They don't have to try to figure out what answer you are looking for.
Sometimes you will get a person who likes to talk and go off on tangents. Before you know it you've asked a couple of questions and your time is up! Multiple choice helps you stay on topic and stick to your time limit.
Now jot down a few questions that you want to know about the daycare, schools and studios near you to start forming your interview.
One of the challenges of self-employment is motivating yourself to get new business. So write down your ideas now. It will be much easier if you do it in small pieces then having a big task looming before you.
Here's to your business success and getting new classes!

Know the Best Crypto To Invest In 2023 Can Change Your Future Economy.
By-Nazia
Throughout the world, 2022 has been a wild journey for cryptocurrencies.
In 2023, there are cryptocurrencies on the market that are long-term viable and present a fantastic investment opportunity.
Bitcoin (BTC) (BTC) In terms of market value and trade volume, Bitcoin is currently and unquestionably still king of the cryptocurrency world.
Ethereum (ETH) (ETH) Without mentioning Ethereum, no top performing cryptocurrency list is complete (ETH). After Bitcoin, Ethereum is thought to be the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world.
Trade 2 Dash (D2T) Dash 2 Trade (D2T) is poised to soar in 2023 thanks to a successful presale that took place in 2022, despite a severe market downturn for cryptocurrencies.
Binance Coin (BNB) Even in 2023, it appears to be pretty promising. The native cryptocurrency of one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges, Binance, is called B&B orDinance Coin.
Decentraland (MANA) The epicenter of the metaverse ecology is built on the Ethereum blockchain and has a tonne of fascinating features that appeal to both people and companies.
Polkadot (DOT) A network protocol known as Polkadot is regarded as one of the most secure, engaging, and cutting-edge networks.
Cardano (ADA) If you intend to invest in cryptocurrencies in 2023, Cardano is another option. Fundamentally speaking, Cardano boasts one of the most advanced proof-of-work algorithms and is a very robust digital currency.
Solana (SOL) ) Developers prefer to create tokens on Solana, one of the fastest-growing smart contract blockchain networks, along with Cardano and Ethereum.
Bottom Line Investing in cryptocurrencies is a very dangerous endeavor. Furthermore, given what has transpired with FTX, it is not incorrect to predict that the crypto winter may last longer than anticipated.


Does anyone know what happened to the poor P of the psychology? Why is it silent? Why is it written? Does anybody also know why the K in know, knife, knee etc. is mute? I guess it has nothing to do with Kafka! Does it?
Briefly, the silent P in "psychology" is the result of Latin borrowing from Greek. In Greek, the P was pronounced. In Latin, the two sounds P and S never naturally occurred together.
My theory for why the S stayed is that it was closest to the vowel in the syllable. If you try to pronounce PS words with both the P and the S, you might see why I think so. I don't know the "official" theory. Anyone?
Essentially, the K was pronounced as recently as the 1400s. But the rest of the word might have been different, too. In the word "knight," for example, the word would have been pronounced more like the German word "Knecht" (yes, in German the K and N are both pronounced), rather than like the English word "night" with a K on it.
It's not known why the K was dropped in English. Other languages, such as German, Dutch, and Greek, don't seem to have a problem with it.
As a German native speaker I have always wondered about the English pronunciation with its many silent "ps", "ks" and "cs" like in psychology, knight and science. Germans usually have no problems with pronouncing (by the way, why is it spelled "pronUnciation" but "pronOUncing"?) this couples of consonants after another. While it is really hard for us to get rid of our habit of pronunciation, it leads to amusement on the side of English speakers (and especially my girlfriend) every time.
So I wondered if anybody can tell me if pronouncing the consonants our loud is legit in any case (lieke a dialect or social circle, etc.), so I would be able to refer to this special case to have a legitimation of my flaw.
@red Unfortunately you are a thousand years too late my friend. In those days English was pronounced pretty much as spelt; however around the time when printing began, spellings fossilized but pronunciation continued to change. So today's spellings of older English words usually reflect an older pronunciation.
As for foreign words brought into in English, we tend to keep the foreign spelling too, although again we pronounce them our way.
Oddly, the spelling of pronunciation and pronounce do in fact reflect current pronunciation.
Spellings of words derived from Latin tend to vary according to whether they came via French or were borrowed direct.

Conveniently located on the Bellarine, Point Lonsdale Health & Wellness offers a diverse array of allied health therapies – including Clinical Myotherapy, not too far from Geelong.
Clinical Myotherapists are highly skilled musculoskeletal practitioners who specialise in the treatment of acute and chronic pain including back pain, knee pain, sports injuries and postural issues, to help you feel and perform at your best.
Not only will our Myotherapists address the source of your pain but they will also seek to understand why it occurred in the first place. This means that they are trained to help you in understanding, managing and overcoming your problem rather than just giving you symptomatic relief – so much better than a short term fix!
Clinical Myotherapy has evolved from its traditional massage roots. Although Clinical Myotherapist's have highly developed 'hands on' soft tissue skills (massage) they combine this with other highly valuable tools in their tool kit such as such as dry needling, joint mobilisation, muscle energy technique (MET) and exercise/rehab prescription.
We don't like to rush things – we set aside 40 minutes for our Clinical Myotherapy sessions (both initial and subsequent myotherapy consults).
When we first meet you, we will undertake a thorough assessment and work to understand your goals, then we will develop an individualised treatment plan and likely home exercise program designed to get you up and going again. Treatment is likely to include some soft tissue massage, dry needling, muscle energy technique (MET) and possible joint mobilisation, education and exercises prescription is also a significant part of a Myotherapy treatment. Our Myotherapist Nathan Ulph is known for his very specific approach, so treatment is very much tailored to your particular presentation, no two treatments are the same.
Specialising in musculoskeletal conditions, Myotherapists commonly treat back pain, neck pain, muscle and joint pain, sporting injuries and postural issues on people of all ages. Myotherapy can be used as treatment for a chronic condition or as a preventative measure.
How does Clinical Myotherapy compare to Physiotherapy?
Clinical Myotherapy treatments at our clinic are conducted by a degree trained therapist and incorporates multiple forms of treatment including soft tissue massage, dry needling, joint mobilisation and prescribed exercise plans. Compared to Physio, Myotherapy services tend to be a little more hands on with a strong focus on muscles and how they influence the joints and the nerves. However, exercise prescription and education are still a big part of what they do. If you are wondering whether Clinical Myotherapy might help you, then please give us a call or email, we are more than happy to have a chat about it.
What is the cost of a Clinical Myotherapy consultation?
A 40 minute clinical myotherapy session is $80.
Clinical Myotherapy is recognised by private health insurance funds, but best to contact your own insurer to check your level of cover.

Thriller Voted Most Influential Pop Video in MySpace Poll.
London, Monday 4th May 2010: Michael Jackson's epic pop video for his 1983 global hit Thriller has been named as the most influential and groundbreaking pop video in music history beating stiff competition from the likes of Queen, Peter Gabriel and Johnny Cash.
The survey, which was specially commissioned by MySpace, enlisted the help of a stellar panel of judges, comprised of some of the UK's leading music and entertainment critics, to provide a shortlist of the 20 most groundbreaking and innovative promos in music history which was then put to the public vote. Over 1000 music fans took part in the poll providing a definitive top 10 list of the most influential videos of all time.
The 14 minute Thriller video, directed by filmmaker John Landis (An America Werewolf in London, The Blues Brothers), was the most expensive video of its time costing US$500,000. It is widely regarded as having changed music videos forever by merging filmmaking and music for the first time, and for breaking new ground by achieving prominent playtime for a black artist on MTV. Jackson co-wrote the screenplay with Landis which famously features the voice of horror legend Vincent Price.
American indie band OK Go's 2006 viral hit Here It Goes Again came second in the survey with 11.7%. Featuring the band's 4 members in a choreographed routine on treadmills shown in one continuous take, 17 attempts were needed before the video was finally completed. It still remains one of the most watched clips on You Tube, having been viewed over 48 million times.
Britney Spears' breakthrough hit, Baby One More Time, which propelled the solo star to stardom in 1998 came third in the poll. The video concept was conceived by Spears herself, who also chose the controversial sexy-schoolgirl outfit. Spears wanted the video to reflect the experiences of her fans by being set in school, the school it was filmed in the same that was used as the location for the movie Grease.
A-ha's groundbreaking promo for Take on Me also ranked highly. Released in 1984, the video memorably used rotoscoping, a combination of live action and sketched animation for a romantic fantasy starring lead singer Morten Harket and actress Bunty Bailey. The video won 6 awards in the 1986 MTV Video Music Awards.
The top ten most influential music videos are:
1. Thriller, Michael Jackson, 1983 – 15.2%
2. Here It Goes Again, OK Go, 2006 – 11.7%
3. Baby one more time, Britney Spears, 1998 – 11.2%
4. Take on Me, A-Ha, 1985 – 8.6%
5. Johnny Cash, Hurt, 2003 – 7.6%
6. Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen , 1975 – 5.6%
7. Daft Punk, Around the World, 1997 – 5.4%
8. Weapon of Choice, Fatboy Slim, 1999 – 4%
9. Sledgehammer, Peter Gabriel, 1986 – 3.7%
10. Beastie Boys, Sabotage, 1994 – 3.5%
Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody came sixth in the survey. Made in 1975 it is widely regarded as being one of the first promotional videos ever recorded. The video was filmed in less than 5 hours and sent immediately to Top of the Pops who played it later that week. The famous flames that are superimposed over the introduction were added weeks later, after the single had already reached number 1.
Also featured in the top ten is Peter Gabriel's 1986 hit, Sledgehammer, which won a record-breaking 9 MTV Music Video Awards. His video used claymation, pixilation and stop-motion animation. Gabriel worked with Nick Park from Aardman Animations on sections of the video, which involved Gabriel remaining under a sheet of glass for 16 hours whilst filming the video a single frame at a time.
Will Francis, site editor of MySpace UK, said 'Only two of the top ten were made this century which shows despite massive advances in technology, a brilliant idea coupled with a great star is an unbeatable format'.

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904, the son of very poor parents. At age 14, "Vernon" lost his dad to a cotton gin accident and his mother moved him and his sister to Nashville, Tennessee. Through the investment of significant mentors, Vernon was able to attend college and then seminary. After completing his education (earning degrees from Southwestern University in Memphis, Tennessee; Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia; Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas), he was the pastor of churches in Decatur, GA, Nashville, TN, and Cleburne, TX. It was in Cleburne that Vernon met Ruth Inez Jordan and fell in love with her at first sight. He proposed on their second date, and the two married a year later. Eventually, he and Ruth settled in Pasadena, California, where Dr. McGee accepted a pastoral call to the Lincoln Avenue Presbyterian Church. He recalled this period as the happiest in his life, with a young family and a young congregation whom he loved.
The beginning days of Thru the Bible
In 1941, Dr. McGee was persuaded to begin a Sunday radio program, The Open Bible Hour, on just one station. It later became High Noon Bible Class, which laid the foundation for the 1967 launch of Thru the Bible as we know it today. Dr. McGee recorded the "Sunday Sermon" messages from the pulpit of the Church of the Open Door in Los Angeles, where he served as pastor from 1949 to 1970.
After cancer surgery in 1965, the doctors gave Dr. McGee six months to live. The Lord gave him 23 more years.
After retiring, Dr. McGee devoted his life to Thru the Bible. On any given day, you'd find him at the Pasadena office with an open Bible on his desk in front of a microphone.
Dr. McGee and the Board of Directors planned in advance that the recorded 5-year program would stay on the air after Dr. McGee's death. "Just play the tapes until the money runs out," was Dr. McGee's directive. On December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
Today, the worldwide work of Thru the Bible continues through a small staff and the prayers and faithful giving of wonderful listeners—committed to keeping the Bible Bus traveling through the whole Word of God until Jesus comes.
Listen to Dr. McGee's sermon, "Remember Jesus Christ", Dr. McGee's farewell message given from the pulpit of the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles where he served as pastor for 21 years.

A corporate colony was funded and run by one person or a group of people who funded the operation. The governing of the colony was handled corporate founders.
Royal Colonies: These British King had control over all unsold public lands and his Governor had the power to allocate the lands. Royal Colonies: The King appointed a governor and a council to assist him with the government of the Colony. Royal Colonies: The colonies elected their own legislature (parliament)

Q: How Can I fetch/scrape HTML text and images to Windows phone?
Hello,

I want to know that, How can I scrape a HTML Site's text which are in a list (ul, li) in Windows phone. I want to make a rss feed reader. Please in details, I am new in HTMLAgilityPack.

thanks.

A: This is not as simple as you would think. You will have to use HTMLAgility pack to parse and normalize the HTML content. but then you will need to go through each node to assess if it's content node or not, i.e. you would want to ignore DIVs, Embeds etc.
I'll try to help you get started.
READ THE DOCUMENT
Uri url = new Uri(<Your url>);
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb web = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument document = web.Load(url.AbsoluteUri);

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN EXTRACT THE IMAGE AND Text tags
var docNode = documentNode;
// if you just want all text withing the document then life is simpler.
string htmlText = docNode.InnerText;

// Get images
IEnumerable<HtmlNode> imageNodes = docNode.Descendants("img");
// Now iterate through all the images and do what you like...

If you want to implement a Readability/Instapaper like cleanup then download NReadability from https://github.com/marek-stoj/NReadability

Well, here at My Home cleaning services, we offer a amazing range of cleaning services across this wonderful city of ours. From excellent window cleaning to domestic cleaning services, you name it, our team of experts off it; so what is it that sets us apart from the others?
One of the reasons we've become London's go-to cleaning service? It could have something to do with the fact that we're always looking to improve our service. For a number of years, we've provided domestic and commercial cleaning services but our customers wanted more. They wanted a company that could deliver all of their cleaning needs, so that's what we set out to do. Fast forward just a few months and our window cleaning service, covering the north London area was born.

Our window cleaners in north London cover not only domestic and commercial, but also tend to both internal and external windows too.
Window cleaning isn't our only forte. We actually began offering domestic and commercial cleaning throughout London.

From Hackney to Camden, Muswell Hill to Southgate, we offered the best cleaning services around and customers were not disappointed. Our client return rate was and still is one of the best in the city.

Q: is it required babel configuration when I use vite in place of webpack Recently  I was  create  react app  using  vite , it is  lightweight , less config  and  fast  then  compare with  webpack . now  my  question is , is it required  bable   configuration in Vite project

A: No, vite does automatic syntax transforms but it only targets browsers that support es modules (firefox & chrome started supporting it around 2018). If you want to support new js features in older browsers you need to add polyfills though. You can read about the exact behavior and how to support even older browsers here.

A: I think that question need more information about that topic.

Vite.js uses the built-in JavaScript support of the browser, so you don't need to explicitly configure the JavaScript version in Vite.js itself.

When I said Vite.js uses the built-in JavaScript support of the browser, I meant that Vite.js relies on the JavaScript engine of the browser to interpret and run the JavaScript code in your application. The JavaScript engine is the component of the browser that executes JavaScript code. When you visit a web page that contains JavaScript, the browser runs the JavaScript code using its built-in JavaScript engine. This means that the version of JavaScript that is supported by your application is determined by the version of the JavaScript engine that is built into the browser. In the case of Vite.js, the JavaScript code in your application is not transpiled or otherwise modified before being run by the browser. However, if your application uses modern JavaScript syntax that is not supported by the target browsers, you will need to transpile the code to an older version of the language that is supported. In that case, you can use Babel.

A: No, it is already setup on the background. However if you'd like to adjust Babel's config you can do it. Read the docs here: https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react/README.md

The Under-examined Role of Racialization in Canadian Immigration
By Will Tao
Last week, I presented at the NCIC 2020 on the emerging topic of Critical Race Theory. I wanted to share such a slice of my presentation for further discussion.
— CAPIC-ACCPI (@capicaccpi) November 20, 2020
Among the five foundational tenets [which include per Delgado and Stefancic: (1) Racism as Ordinary; (2) Interest Convergence; (3) Racialization; (4) Intersectionality and Anti-Essentialism), and (5) Voice-of-Colour (Counternarratives/Legal Storytelling);] one key one is racialization.
Racialization is likely the least understood and (arguably hardest to explain) foundational tenet. It makes some of us who are racialized folks uncomfortable. Those who oppose, find racialization a demeaning term, a short of carved out animal pen of people of colour. Others argue that white folks are ignored when we use the term racialize (a common misconception of the concept) and that such a term ensures a forever uneven playing field with racialized as marginalized and victimized.
When it comes to defining racialization, I would point to the Alberta Civil Liberties Research Centre (ACLRC) from Calgary who write:
Racialization is the very complex and contradictory process through which groups come to be designated as being of a particular "race" and on that basis subjected to differential and/or unequal treatment. Put simply, "racialization [is] the process of manufacturing and utilizing the notion of race in any capacity" (Dalal, 2002, p. 27). While white people are also racialized, this process is often rendered invisible or normative to those designated as white. As a result, white people may not see themselves as part of a race but still maintain the authority to name and racialize "others."
–Calgary Anti-Racism Education (http://www.aclrc.com/racialization)
As Delgado and Stefancic point out in Critical Race Theory – An Introduction (2017), race and races are a product of social thoughts and relations. Race is not objective, inherent, or fixed. There is no biological or genetic reality to race (so-called 'eugenics'). Race is a category that society invents, manipulates, or retires when it is convenient.
The process of racialization has occurred throughout the history of Canadian immigration. At the recommendation of a colleague who works in immigration policy, I have been reading Vic Satzewich's Racism and the Incorporation of Foreign Labour: Farm Labour Migration to Canada Since 1945, (1991) which explores the ways by which the post-war labour shortage was filled.
First, it was done by positively racialized Dutch and German migrants, less positively racialized Polish migrants, and at the exclusion of Jewish migrants. The transition to Caribbean migration, a colonial deal, but very much an economic drive one, but also one that racialized Caribbean migrants as temporary and replaceable. That these workers were economically beneficial without being economically burdensome. [See: especially Chapter 4-6 of Satzewich (1991).
The Anti-Black Racism that has been an underlying theme of Canadian racism in a process that has racialized Black migrants as being unable to adapt to Canada.
In 1911, an Order in Council excluded Black immigration on the basis of climate, an inability to adapt to the Canadian climate. Furthermore, Black immigration was racialized as a problem, one that occured in the U.K, and the United States. Key Canadian decision-makers through gendered and racist comments on limiting the immigration of Carribean women, who were viewed as promiscuous from problematic family structures.
Moving now to Anti-Asian Racism, this is another foundation of Canadian immigration which has had devastating impacts felt to this date – from the imposition of the Head Tax in 1885, to the 1914 Komagata Maru/implementation of the Continuous Journey Act, to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1923.
Putting things in the modern day, we have seen the historic racialization play a role in key and foundational cases the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Baker v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 1999 CanLII 699 (SCC), [1999] 2 SCR 817 http://canlii.ca/t/1fqlk where the Officer applied racialized and gendered notions of belonging to Ms. Mavis Baker.
We saw it the Federal Court of Appeal's decision in Begum v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2018 FCA 181 (CanLII), [2019] 2 FCR 488, <http://canlii.ca/t/hvhff where a s.15 Charter challenge yb a racialized Bangladeshi woman relying on research largely done by racialized experts (needed as a result of the absence of publically available race-based data) was thrown out as not having demonstrated her discrimination.
More recently, explicitly, and all-too commonly, we saw it the treatment of Mr. Kaniche in Khaniche v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness), 2020 FC 559 (CanLII), http://canlii.ca/t/j8csn who was told (in less polite terms) to get out of Canada and back to his home country of Algeria.
We see racialization in the processing of a caregiver program that is majority Filipina women and the refusal at high numbers of African Temporary Resident Visas and Study Permits.
We see links to the past between the Sun Sea MV ten years ago to the much-maligned boat-arriving migrants of the past. We see the way Chinese women were excluded then, and excluded now by the way genuineness and purpose are scrutinized now.
We see the way colour-blindness is now a foundation of decision-making, further diluting those who seek to suggest that racism has become normalized through the process.
We see Courts and Tribunals afraid to mention race, apply the intersectional lenses that we know they are beginning to be trained on, and afraid of moving law beyond the boxed tests of 'reasonable persons.'
These have all been the the product of processes of racialization, of a racialized system, and the segregating of 'who is desirable and who is not' by race. Professor Satzewich writes at page 124 of his book:
"The history of immigration control suggests quite clearly that the Canadian state imposed a racial hierarchy of desirability over the entry of different groups of people to the country and that, inter alia, the imagined community which constituted the Canadian nation was defined in terms of the 'white race.' "
This is a view shared by Professor Constance Backhouse, who writes:
"Immigration laws shaped the very contours of Canadian society in ways that aggrandized the centrality of white power."
As an optimist, I still feel we have the ability to change this. Not by being continuously colourblind or assuming we are in a post-racial reality, but by delivering equity and racial justice by removing barriers.
The most pressing barrier, the product of racialization, is in the way that post-COVID-19 borders will implement policy (through the breadth of written laws and the application of unwritten policy) to exclude Black and Brown bodies from immigrating to Canada. I highly suspect too, that these individuals will be the first to be removed from Canada when deportations invariably begin – another racialized assumption that they are the least likely (and most resistant) to want to go.
We have already begun to see foreshadowings of this particularly in the context of increasing temporary resident refusals (for those from visa-holding countries). Recent statistics show a huge increase in study permit refusals since the onset of COVID-19 (from a 60% approval rate to 50%), with nearly all of the 80%+ refusal rates coming from African, Central Asian, and Middle Eastern countries that lack Canadian Visa Offices.
— Will Tao|陶维 (@TheWillTruth) November 2, 2020
On the spousal reunification front, the Government has acted to now support extended family reunification, but applications to sponsor overseas are stuck in overseas visa offices barely processing paper-based applications and simultaneously refusing temporary resident visas.
This leads to what I think we need to do. I see and hear the advocacy needed to ensure that temporary residents inside Canada have access to permanent resident options, and are granted options post-COVID-19 – the so-call 'Status for All' camp.
However, we also need to think about the bigger Global pattern, the social construction of our Canadian borders, and what this might mean for the separated migrant family in particular or the extended family seeking to follow the success of Canadian permanent residents and citizens (siblings and relatives) already established. We need to think about what 'all' means where there is a limited pie set to be divided.
How are we going to ensure that we do not create barriers in the way we address immigrants that reproduce the racism and racialization of years past – often done implicitly and in the name of economic benefit?
How also, do we engage in a meaningful discussion about the need to dismantle White Supremacy within immigration? How do we do so knowing that to rebuild the foundation for better, pieces must be replaced and power must be redistributed – bottom up from the margins, away from those who currently hold it and bringing in voices we have historically excluded.
How do we do so, ourselves and our perspectives themselves, being so attuned to the normalcy, perceived objectivity, and correctness that our White/White-adapted lenses have given us to accept that our system is the best, our processes are working, and our tasks are simply to work together to maintain and uphold.
Questions – for sure – ultimately much bigger for one blog piece to tackle.

"Mahama or no president" – Hundreds of NDC women demonstrate in Kumasi over 'flawed' election results [Photos]
Journalist Albert in News

Hundreds of members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) women-wing demonstrate in Kumasi today December 15, 2020, over what they describe as their refusal to accept the verdict of a 'flawed' election.
Clad in red and black with touches of party colours, these women were led by the party's women organizer, Madam Hanna Bissiw, to stage a stiff opposition against election figures as presented by the Electoral Commission.
After being stopped by the police from marching to the regional EC office to register their displeasure, the women, led by Hanna Bissiw said they demand the immediate rectification of the election figures by the EC.
"We are Ghanaian women and citizens of this nation, and we voted in the 2020 polls, but we feel that the Electoral Commission rigged the elections in favour of President Akufo-Addo and if we don't get up, this country would turn into something that we all won't like it."
"So we are asking Jean Mensa to come back and sit with the political parties to correct whatever mistakes it did because if she does so, President Akufo-Addo will not be declared president, she said.
Meanwhile, the NDC's presidential candidate John Dramani Mahama has said until the election figures by the EC are audited and independently verified, he is not going to accept the election results as presented.

Fireproof insulating panels, corrugated sheets, steel sub-structures and major asbestos reclamation works have transformed the Sienese winery into an elegant, modern, safe and technologically advanced wine cellar.
Combining the charm of the past with the elegance of the present in a single concept building: this is how ancient stone walls blend in with new steel elements, LED lighting with wood, solar panels with the surrounding environment with a focus on design, efficiency and sustainability.
The wine cellars are among the businesses that best interpret this contamination of styles and technologies, and this is what Tre Rose Montepulciano of Tenimenti Angelini, in Val di Cava, in the province of Siena looks like now.
Since it was bought in 2011 by the owners of the famous Angelini pharmaceutical company, the facility has kept its exterior appearance typical of Tuscan country buildings generally unchanged. However, numerous alterations have been carried out on the interior to guarantee salubrity and equip the winery with the latest technologies.
The removal of the asbestos roofing was an opportunity to carry out more extensive work that saw Manni Group as the sole contact partner: from consolidating the structure with steel elements, to cladding with sandwich panels, and optimising indoor lighting with natural light.
To consolidate the building, Manni Sipre provided a steel sub-structure, made of resistant and anti-seismic material, which improved solidity and resistance in case of natural disasters.
The building was then clad with Isopan insulating panels and, in particular, with Isoparete and Isofire Wall and Roof, which are resistant and fireproof materials used for the curtain walls of the fuel storage facility. Isoparete is a polyurethane panel, characterised by a smooth finish and a concealed fastening system, particularly suitable for both industrial and commercial use. Lastly, as for the fuel storage facility, it was built using Isofire Wall, a mineral wool wall panel with a double metal coating, a micro-scored finish and an exposed fastening system, as well as Isofire Roof, a roof panel with a five-rib corrugated profile: both products ensure thermal insulation and non-combustibility.


TRENTON, NJ – Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman will hold a press conference on Monday to announce a lawsuit against Gov. Chris Christie by the family of Christian Phillip Nolan Rodgers, who was allegedly murdered in April by a man who was on the the streets because of Gov. Christie's "Bail Reform" initiative. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging wrongful death, and that Governor Chris Christie violated Mr. Rodgers Constitutional rights, and the rights of all African Americans in the state.
Dog the Bounty Hunter said, "I wanted to help support the Rodgers family and to send a message to Gov. Chris Christie that law enforcement professionals like myself from across the country think he should be ashamed of himself for ignoring our advice and passing the dangerous, fake reform that I believe led to the tragic murder of Christian Rodgers. Christie should be ashamed of himself. The Governor needs to know that the eyes of every American who loves their family and wants to preserve law and order are on him right now.

Bobby Orr's Flying Goal Won the 1970 Stanley Cup for the Boston Bruins
By Brett Peruzzi, Managing Editor
BOSTON – It's considered by many hockey fans to be the most famous goal ever. And it produced an iconic photo, that has been reproduced countless times and was made into a poster that is still selling more than five decades later.
Bobby's Orr's flight through the air after scoring the Stanley Cup-winning goal in 1970 for the Boston Bruins is immortalized by this bronze statue, which has been outside the Boston Garden since 2010.
On Mother's Day, May 10, 1970, it was forty seconds into overtime for game four of the Stanley Cup finals, with the Bruins having won the first three games and this one tied at 3-3. Bruins defenseman Bobby Orr slipped the puck past St. Louis Blues goalie Glenn Hall after receiving a pass from teammate Derek "Turk" Sanderson, and soared into history. Immediately after scoring the game and Stanley Cup-winning goal, Blues defenseman Noel Picard tripped Orr with his stick. It sent the 22-year-old flying into the air, arms outstretched as he hurtled through the air above the ice of Boston Garden.
By the time he landed, his teammates were starting to pile on top of him in an ecstatic embrace as the fans let out a victory roar that seemingly could have raised the roof off the building. It was the Bruins' first Stanley Cup win in 29 years and the first time they had made it to the finals since 1958.
The famous photo was captured by Boston Record-American photographer Ray Lussier, who moved into position after another photographer gave up his rinkside seat to get a beer at the concession stand. In 1996 the goal, whose fame Orr credits to the photo, was named the greatest moment in NHL history.
Orr, who played ten seasons with the Bruins after signing with the team at age 18, is considered one of the greatest hockey players of all time. He is the only defenseman to have won the NHL scoring title, and holds the record for most points and assists in a single season by a defenseman. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979 when he was 31 years old, the youngest player to be inducted at that time.
Today, Orr's famous goal is immortalized outside the Boston Garden with a bronze statue capturing his historic flight to an overtime Stanley Cup victory.

Report on Business Australia's St. Barbara to acquire Canada's Atlantic Gold in $722-million deal
Australia's St. Barbara to acquire Canada's Atlantic Gold in $722-million deal
Niall McGee Mining reporter
Published May 15, 2019 Updated May 15, 2019
Australia's St. Barbara Ltd. is buying Canada's Atlantic Gold Corp. in a friendly transaction worth $722-million – more evidence of a resurgence in deal-making in the global gold sector.
Vancouver-based Atlantic owns and operates a small but very profitable gold mine in Nova Scotia.
St. Barbara is paying $2.90 a share for Atlantic, about a 40-per-cent premium to the Tuesday closing price. In addition, shareholders will receive the equivalent of 5 cents a share in a spin-off company that will hold Atlantic's equity stake in Velocity Minerals Ltd., a small development stage company.
St. Barbara is funding the deal through a mix of cash on hand and proceeds from an equity issue.
In an interview, Atlantic's chief executive officer Steven Dean said there was "a good deal of interest from a number of parties," but that St. Barbara's offer, which was almost all-cash, was particularly compelling.
The transaction value is "fair" and with a $25-million break fee in place the risk of a competing bid is low, PI Financial analyst Chris Thomson wrote in a note to clients on Wednesday.
Located about an hour's drive from Halifax, Atlantic's Moose River open-pit gold mine went into production last year. The property should produce about 95,000 ounces of gold this year at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$544 an ounce. With gold trading a little under US$1,300 an ounce, Atlantic's margins are "tough to beat," Mr. Thomson said.
Shares in Atlantic rose by 38 per cent Wednesday on the TSX Venture Exchange to close at $2.88 a share, just shy of the takeover offer.
In the past six months, deal making in the global gold sector has rebounded with the world's two biggest gold companies striking multibillion-dollar transactions in a bid to remain relevant to investors after close to a decade of poor returns and dwindling reserves.
In January, Barrick Gold Corp. closed its US$6-billion zero-premium acquisition of Africa-focused Randgold Resources Ltd., which saw it add about a million ounces of production a year and bring in well-regarded operator Mark Bristow as its new chief executive officer.
Just last month, Newmont Mining Corp. (now Newmont Goldcorp Corp.) completed a US$10-billion acquisition of Vancouver's Goldcorp Inc., giving it added exposure to the Americas and promising investors US$365-million a year in cost savings.
Deal-making has also started to gradually filter down to smaller gold miners with Australian buyers in particular stepping up.
In March, Melbourne-based Newcrest Mining Corp. bought a majority stake in a British Columbia gold-copper mine from Imperial Metals Corp. for US$806-million. Newcrest's chief executive officer Sandeep Biswas made it clear that he'd also consider buying mines that Newmont may put up for sale as a result of the Goldcorp deal.
Many analysts argue that M&A is most needed among Canada's intermediate gold sector, with far too many companies chasing a shrinking pool of capital. While few deals of note have yet been announced, a number of investment bankers have told The Globe that some intermediate companies are exploring combinations. Last year, The Globe reported that Kinross Gold Corp. engaged in talks with Iamgold Corp., but no deal was reached.
GMP Capital Inc. analyst Ian Parkinson said in an interview that he wouldn't be surprised to see more deal making in the Canadian mining sector but investors shouldn't expect a rush of transactions. Considering the depressed valuations many mining companies are currently trading at, buyers can afford to be patient before pouncing.
"There's no reason to be super aggressive," he said.
"Pick your spots and find quality assets and go from there."

Midfielder turns up at Crystal Palace offices in London to try and complete last-gasp move
Lille captain arrives in London to try and finalise a move to Palace
He has been linked with West Ham, but Lille midfielder Ibrahim Amadou has now turned up at Crystal Palace's office to try and complete a last-gasp move on transfer deadline day.
The Eagles have not given up hope of landing the Lille captain , who has travelled to London to try and force through a move, despite reports that no fee has been agreed between the two clubs.
Amadou has been linked with West Ham, and a further unnamed Premier League club - believed to be Everton or Newcastle - but it seems Palace are his most likely destination, if a deal can be done.
Crystal Palace on the verge of completing deadline day signing of international striker
But time is running out for Palace to land the 24-year-old - and with Lille still believed to be reluctant to sell, it is still touch and go as to whether a deal can be agreed for the midfielder, who can also play in defence.
He is believed to be one of two players that Palace are still trying to agree a deal for in the closing stages of the window, with suggestions that Getafe goalkeeper Vicente Guaita is also a deal that Palace are still working to try and complete.

The First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus In Texas
Brad Berman November 7, 2007
Sorry there are no photos!
Nov. 7, 2007: Source – University of Texas
The Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas at Austin has joined with the Gas Technology Institute (GTI) to christen the first hydrogen fuel cell bus to be licensed and operated in Texas. The 22-foot hydrogen fuel cell plug-in hybrid shuttle bus is part of a research program to evaluate low-emission vehicles in Texas.
The bus is powered by a hybrid electric drivetrain that draws energy from both its advanced battery electronics and a 20-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell. The combined hybrid system should grant a vehicle range of up to 200 miles, compared to 50 miles on batteries alone. The bus was designed by Ebus Inc., and built specifically for this project. Project partners have also begun installation of the first permanent hydrogen fueling station in Texas at the J.J. Pickle Research Center in Austin.
Tony Lindsay, manager of GTI's Advanced Energy Systems Group, hopes the program will demonstrate the reliability of a hydrogen fueling system. He said, "The lack of a hydrogen infrastructure has been identified as the single largest impediment to the commercial roll-out of hydrogen vehicles."

Why don't they put solar panels on the top of the bus to add more range? I understand some people wouldn't want solar panels on cars because of how it would look but who cares with the bus? I don't think you would even be able to see them.
They do have solar panels for cars. According to the company who installs them on hybrids, however, the Chinese (?) are buying them all up…

Fuel cells are supposed to be very expensive, has their cost come down.
But their efficiency and operating range has increased a lot and the size also has come down.

Parkinson disease | What is Parkinson's disease ?
In 1817, British Physician Dr. James Parkinson published a case series describing six
patients afflicted with the "shaking palsy" (paralysis agitans), a chronic and progressive
neurologic disorder called Parkinsonism i.e. loss of control of movement. Parkinson's occurs
when certain nerve cells in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra die or become
impaired. Normally, these cells produce a vital chemical known as dopamine.
Dopamine allows smooth, coordinated function of the body's muscles and movement. When
approximately 70% of the dopamine producing cells is damaged, the symptoms of Parkinson disease appear. Parkinson disease (PD) is recognized as one of the most common neurologic disorders, affecting approximately 1% of individuals older than 60 years. It is a progressive movement disorder marked by tremors, rigidity, slow movement (bradykinesia), and posture instability.
The motor symptoms of parkinson's disease result from the death of dopamine generating cells in the substantia nigra, a region of the midbrain; the cause of this cell death is unknown. Sometimes it is genetic, but most cases do not seem to run in families. Exposure to chemicals in the environment might play a role. It usually begin in a person's late fifties
or early sixties. Parkinson disease causes progressive decline in movement controls,
affecting the ability to control initiation, speed and smoothness of motion. Symptoms of parkinson's disease are seen in 15% of the people in the age 65-74 and almost 30% of people in age 75-84.Most cases of parkinson's disease are sporadic. In that, there is a spontaneous and permanent change in nucleotide sequences. Sporadic mutations also involve unknown environmental factors in combination with genetic defects. The abnormal gene (mutated gene) will form an altered end product or protein. This will cause
abnormalities in specific areas in the body where the protein is used. Some evidence suggests that the disease is transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance. This implies that an affected parent has a 50% chance of transmitting the disease to any
child.
This type of inheritance is not commonly observed. The most recent evidence is linking parkinson's disease with a gene that codes for a protein called α-synuclein.
What are the Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person. Early signs
may be mild and may go unnoticed. Symptoms often begin on one side of body and usually remain worse on that side, even after symptoms begin to affect both sides.Parkinson's signs and symptoms may include:
Tremors: Usually begins in a limb, often hand or fingers. The classic tremor of parkinson's disease is called as "Pill-rolling tremor", because the movement resembles rolling a pill between the thumb and fore finger. This tremor occurs at a frequency of
about three per second.
Slowed movement (Bradykinesia): It may involve slowing down or stopping in the middle of familiar tasks such as walking, eating or shaving, this may include freezing in place during movements (akinesia).
Rigid muscle: Muscle rigidity or stiffness, occuring with jerky movements replacing smooth motion. The stiff muscles can limit range of motion and cause pain.
Impaired posture and balance: Postural instability or balance difficulty occurs. This may lead to a rapid, shuffling gait (festination) to prevent falling.
Loss of automatic movements: In Parkinson's disease, ability to performn unconscious movements, including blinking, smiling or swinging arms when walking may decrease. In most cases, there is a "masked face", with little facial expression and decreased eye blinking.
Speech changes: Speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections. Patient may speak softly, quickly, slur or hesitate before talking.
Writing changes: Handwriting changes, with letters becoming smaller across the page (micrographia) and become difficult. Progressive problems with intellectual
function (dementia). Bladder problems: Parkinson's disease may cause bladder problems, including being unable to control urine or having
difficulty urinating.
Constipation: Many people with Parkinson's disease develop constipation, mainly due to a slower digestive tract.
Smell dysfunction: Problems with sense of smell, may have difficulty identifying
certain odours or the difference between odours.
Fatigue: Many people with Parkinson's disease lose energy and experience fatigue, and the cause is not always known.
Pain: Many people with Parkinson's disease experience pain, either in specific areas of their bodies or throughout their bodies.
Sexual dysfunction: Some people with Parkinson's disease notice a decrease in sexual desire or performance. In addition, a wide range of other symptoms may often be seen
Some beginning earlier than others: Depression, problems with sleep, including restlessness and nightmares. Emotional changes including fear, irritability and insecurity.
