ST. GEORGE – Look who's in first place now.
Pine View staggered Desert Hills Tuesday night with a lights out pitching performance. That victory, coupled with Dixie's road win at Snow Canyon, left the Panthers as the lone unbeaten team in Region 9 with just three games played. The two-time defending state champs are 3-0 with the Thunder and Warriors a game behind and Dixie and Hurricane, which picked up its first win in a shootout with Cedar, two games back.
Coaches sometimes will deemphasize the importance of a game, just in case their team loses. Plus, most coaches would rather not put extra pressure on their players.
But Dixie coach Danny Ipson made no bones about how momentous the Flyers' game was against the Warriors Tuesday night.
Tyson Fisher pitched a complete game, but looked just OK the first three innings as the game was tied 3-3. But something happened in the top of the fourth that seemed to fire the junior pitcher/slugger up. He struck out with the bases loaded.
Fisher pitched the final four innings with fire and purpose. He struck out the side in the bottom of the fourth and the bottom of the sixth. Over the last four innings, he allowed just three hits and struck out nine batters. Snow Canyon didn't get a base runner past second base the rest of the game.
Dixie took the lead in the top of the fifth after the first three batters reached on a single by Payden Harrah, a walk by Tyson Miller and a hit by pitch for Kayler Yates. Cooper Vest then hit a grounder deep in the hole between first and second. SC second baseman Tanner Howell was able to corral it and get the out at first, but Harrah crossed the plate easily with what turned out to be the winning run.
After a walk loaded the bases again, Makai Lee came on in relief for the Warriors and ended the potential big inning by striking out Kaleb Leavitt and Hobbs Nyberg. Nyberg, who leads the region in batting, went down on strikes for just the second time all season.
But with Fisher on his game, the one-run lead would prove to be enough to secure the road win for DHS.
Snow Canyon led early on, with Austin Deming socking a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning. The soaring fly ball seemed to catch the jet stream as it just kept carrying to straight away left field.
Dixie got one back in the top of the second when Leavitt singled to left to bring home Harrah. The next batter, Nyberg, hit a bases-loaded rocket off of SC starter Breck Eichelberger, but shortstop Deming laid out for the line drive and made a diving catch to end the inning, saving at least two runs.
Snow Canyon made it 3-1 in the bottom of the second as Jed Jensen came home on a Dixie error. But the Flyers tied it up in the top of the fourth as Lundin singled home Miller and Leavitt brought home Yates with a hit.
Later that inning, Fisher came to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs and Eichelberger struck him out on five pitches. The Dixie pitcher used it as motivation the rest of the game.
Fisher ended up with the victory, allowing six hits and two earned runs in seven innings of work (110 pitches). He struck out 13 and walked just one Warrior, a huge improvement from his last outing in which he struck out six and also walked six.
Harrah and Leavitt had two hits each for the Flyers, who improve to 1-2 in region and 12-3 overall. Fisher's double in the sixth was the only extra-base hit of the game for Dixie.
Snow Canyon got excellent relief work from Lee, who went 2 2/3 innings and struck out five, while allowing three hits and walking none. Deming had two hits and several web gems in the game, and had that first inning homer. But the Warriors, who fall to 2-1 and 10-6, had just six total hits.
The two teams meet again, this time at Flyer Field, on Thursday night at 7 p.m.
The Panthers have won state twice in a row with pitchers that didn't issue free passes, a defense that usually played error free and a bunch of hitters who put the ball in play, focusing on percentage over power.
And though a majority of the names have changed, the recipe lives on at Pine View.
Jagun Leavitt hurled a dandy three-hit, one-walk shutout, the Panthers rapped out seven hits and drew 10 walks and the Pine View defense made every play as PV dominated the Thunder.
It was a tense one-run affair until the bottom of the fifth at Panther Field. Kory Taigan's RBi single, which brought home Tanner Staheli in the bottom of the second inning, was the only offense through the first 4 1/2 innings.
The Thunder got two of their three hits on the night in the third inning with just one out as Quinn Kiser and Trey Allred both singled. But Leavitt struck out Trey Winget and got Seth Betts to fly out to center to end the threat.
The tight contest turned into a blowout in the fifth as the Panthers used four walks, three hits, a hit batsman and a DH error to score six runs. The rally took 27 minutes and served notice that Pine View is not ready to give up its title as champion just yet.
It started with back-to-back walks by Leavitt and Makai Maclellan, then Dawson Staheli singled sharply to right field to bring home Leavitt and make it 2-0. Two batters later, Tanner Staheli singled home Maclellan to make it 3-0.
Dawson Staheli came home on a wild pitch, then Jarod Stirling's single in the hole on the left side brought home another run to make it 5-0. Ryke Erickson took one for the team to force home the sixth run and the seventh came home on a Thunder error.
Pine View added one more in the sixth and Leavitt mowed Desert Hills down the rest of the way to record his third victory of the season.
No Pine View player had more than one hit, though Tanner Staheli scored three times and Cody Riddle drew four walks in the game. Riddle now has six walks in the last two games and 11 walks in 32 plate appearances this season. Along with his 93-pitch masterpiece on the mound, Leavitt also contributed a hit, a run, a walk and a stolen base. Pine View is 9-5 overall and 3-0 in region.
Desert Hills, 12-3 and 2-1, had just five base runners in the game, with Kiser reaching twice on a single and a walk. The Thunder went down in order in the first, second, sixth and seventh innings.
The two teams will rematch Thursday at 7 p.m. at Thunder Field. The starting pitchers will likely be Makai Maclellan for PV and Drew Thorpe for DH. The game will be broadcast on ESPN SportsRadio 97.7 FM.
How do you blow a six-run lead in the bottom of the seventh, then turn around and score four unanswered in the top of the eighth to win the game? That's what Tigers coach Jon Homer would like to know.
Hurricane jumped on the error-prone Redmen right from the start. Alec Flemetakis led off the game with a triple, sparking a five-run rally and an early 5-0 lead for HHS. Tobie Swenson, Michael Lacy and Kolby Heaton all had RBI hits in the inning and Logan Campbell wrapped up the rally with a sacrifice fly.
Cedar pulled to within 5-3 after a two-run double by Drake Lewis and an RBI double by Ben Hulet in the bottom of the third.
But another huge rally by the Tigers in the top of the fifth seemed to put the game away. Campbell, Rylee Kent, Flemetakis and Noah Humphrey all had RBIs as part of a six-spot for Hurricane that made the game 11-3.
But then, with the score 11-5, Lacy walked the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh. Homer then turned to Flemetakis, but the next two Cedar hitters, Brandon Johnson and Bridger Bunnell, singled to bring home three runs and all of the sudden it was 11-8.
Flemetakis got a pair of strikeouts for the first two outs of the seventh, but issued a walk to Travis Tait to load the bases once again. The next batter, Lewis, watched a wild pitch go by that scored Johnson, making it 11-9. Lewis then hit a 2-2 pitch to shallow left-center.
Flemetakis got the third out on a ground out, but the six-run edge had vanished.
But the Tigers were almost out in the top of the eighth, with the first two batters getting retired quickly and the 7-8-9 hitters due up. Those guys came through, however, with Campbell, Kent and Drake Hermansen all ripping singles to left field. The Hermansen hit scored Campbell to make it 12-11. Two batters later, Humphrey lined a hit to left to score Kent and Hermansen and make it 14-11. Nick Horsley picked up the final RBI on a double to left to make it 15-11.
Cedar was held hitless in the bottom of the eighth to end the game.
Flemetakis got the win on the mound and also tripled and scored three times. Humphrey had two hits and four RBIs and the Tigers got two hits each from Lacy, Heaton and Kent. Hurricane had 13 hits and 13 RBIs.
Cedar had seven hits, but no player had more than one. The Redmen played shaky defense, committing nine errors that led to eight unearned runs. Lewis took the loss on the mound.
Hurricane, 7-8 overall and 1-2 in region, will host Cedar (0-3 and 5-7) Thursday at 7 p.m. at Tiger Field.


The successor to the much acclaimed Dell Venue 8 7000 has been announced by Dell.
Named the Dell Venue 10 7000, the newbie is a bigger sized one and features a similar line of specs as that of its forerunner.
The name here, as usual, suggests the sizing of the screen – a 10.5 inch one.
The OLED display brags a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels, which draws a pixel density of 287ppi. It's worth bearing in mind that not many tablets running the Android OS give out a better pixel rating for a 10-inch screen.
Moving to the chip-side of it, the device packs a similar array of line-ups as seen in the 8-inch version.
The Intel Atom Z3580 quad-core processor is same as used in Venue 8 7000, and offers processing speeds of 2.3GHz.
The SoC comes accompanied by a RAM of 2GB. 16 GB is what it offers with its in-built storage.
The rear-camera used is also the same 8MP one, and they have not left behind the Intel RealSense technology that lets you handle focus even after snapping the images.
The device also retains the 2MP front cam for video conferencing and selfie snaps. The microSD slot will let you plug-in cards of up to 512MB storage.
The optional keyboard that comes magnetized offers distinct usability modes like laptop, tablet, stand mode and tent mode.
The device is also the first from Dell to rollout with Android 5.0 Lollipop OS on-board. The 7000 mAh battery packed inside is claimed by the manufacturers as capable of runing for over 15 hours.
The devices will be arriving first across the US and China markets, the former will also see a 32 GB version.
The pricing of the device is set at $499, with the optional keyboard adding $130 to the price-tag. Dell will bring the Venue 10 7000 tablets to these markets by this month, following which they would gradually bring the devices to other markets including the UK and Australia.

Everything in the baby's room – from the mattress to the paint on the walls – can emit harmful volatile organic chemicals (VOC) that can cause breathing problems. Lung disease and breathing problems are the No. 1 cause of death in infants less than 1 year old, according to the American Lung Association.
– Use only eco-friendly paints such as Benjamin Moore's Eco Spec, Sherwin Williams' HealthSpec or ICI Dulux Paints Lifemaster 2000.
– Avoid vinyl wallpaper, which can trap moisture and help mold grow. The plasticizers in the vinyl emit VOCs. Her choice of paper for the nursery was Venetian Carnival, a handprinted wallpaper from Scalamandre featuring a playful motif of monkeys, goats and masked men and women.
– Furnish the room with recycled solid wood furniture and repaint it. Avoid the "disposable" stuff made with particleboard, which emits VOCs. Cornices also should be made of solid wood.
– Be careful when selecting a mattress. Some may contain vinyl. She recommends a mattress from E.J. Schrader Mattress Co. that is lined with rubber foam and insulated with naturally flame-retardant wool.
– Use natural fabrics. She covered the loveseat in 100 percent cotton and says it's a good idea to use washable, removable slipcovers.
– Look for sofas and loveseats that are eight-way hand-tied. This ensures quality construction and means the frame is wood. Particleboard cannot support the weight of eight-way-hand-tied construction.
– Replace closet doors with louvered versions that allow air to circulate and prevent moisture and mold from accumulating.
– Wood floors are best. If you use area rugs, make sure they are 100 percent cotton with no synthetic dyes.
– Do not use an air machine with an ionizer or ozone. Upton recommends the IQAir machine with HEPA filter.
– Put nothing above the crib that could fall into it. No shelves. No pieces of art.
– Do not place the crib near a window. The baby could stand up and fall out.
– Look for cordless blinds such as Hunter Douglas' LiteRise.

Q: Can I convert an lxml div object to a string? I'm making a program to scrape text from a website.
But the website puts its text in a div tag and sometimes the text is inside a p tag inside the div tag.
Is it possible to convert this div tag into a string so that it would be simpler to format?
from lxml import etree
import requests
element = etree.HTML(requests.get('a website')).xpath('//div')

A: just like this
from lxml import etree
import requests

el = etree.HTML(requests.get('a website').content).xpath('//div')

# then for first div (if it exist's)

print(etree.tostring(el[0]))

STEPMOTHER LAMENT: TRY TO SEE IT MY WAY!
Many of you have asked about how the Couples Retreat went. As you may be aware, Jenna Korf and I held our first Couples Retreat last weekend (June, 2017). It was an ultimate dream for us. After all, what would be better than to have a chance to coach both Dad and Stepmom together? Nothing is better than that!
Let me share the gist of the weekend. We taught partnership. When you truly think about most complaints that plague step couples, powerlessness and disrespect are front and center. The lack of true partnership rears its ugly head. When you act as a team, the right hand knows what the left hand is doing. Decisions are made together. Then, those decisions get executed down to the children. Yes, "down" to the children. If you are looking up and seeing the children at the top of your family organization chart, that is not partnership or leadership.
Did I mention that members of my family participated in the retreat? We did a real life Q & A with adult stepchildren, bio children and my husband. Any question was okay and nothing was rehearsed. I found it quite moving and I plan on extending invitations to family members to join us at future retreats. The most important part was that I cooked all weekend! Yes, I cooked lunch and yummy snacks and everyone loved them. (At least that's what they said!) So, if you would like your partner to "try to see it your way" and vice versa, we would love to meet you.


It's been a very bad week for Recording Academy president Neil Portnow. First, he said that women needed to "step up" if they wanted to be a bigger part of the Grammys after a ceremony that mainly awarded men. Then artists like P!nk and Vanessa Carlton spoke out against him, the latter circulating a petition asking him to step down.
On Thursday Portnow announced that the Recording Academy will create a task force to review "where we can do more to overcome the explicit barriers and unconscious biases that impede female advancement in the music community." The Academy's board also supported Portnow despite his controversial comments; Billboard reports that board chair John Poppo sent a letter to board trustees describing the current situation as "surreal." Though I'm not sure what's so surreal about an extremely powerful man dissing the capabilities of women in music, and those women reacting accordingly.
As for what exactly this task force will do is unclear. Portnow wrote in his statement: "We will also place ourselves under a microscope and tackle whatever truths are revealed." The best way to begin that process, as I've written before, is to release the gender, race, and age breakdown of the Academy's membership, just as the Oscars' Academy of Arts and Sciences has done, so the public can know exactly who is voting in the Grammys. Hopefully the Academy will realize they then need to enlist more women in its voting body to ensure that the awards are being chosen by a group that better represents the public actually listening to these albums.
In addition to the Recording Academy's damage control, women in music continue to speak out against Portnow. On Thursday a group of over a dozen female music executives asked that Portnow resign in a letter. They pointed out that between 2013 and 2018, during which a total of 899 individuals were nominated for a Grammy, a little over 90 percent of those were male and 9.3 percent were female.

The Village Opera (1729) by Charles Johnson.
First Performance: London (Covent Garden), 8 December 1762.
First Performance in Scotland tbc.
One of the most successful of the ballad-operas of this period, Love in a Village has a charmingly naive plot combined with attractive music gathered together by Arne. Only if he couldn't find suitable music ready made, either from his own or another hand, would he take up his pen to compose something new. Thus of 42 musical numbers, only 18 were by Arne, and only five of those were composed specifically for this work.

Sir William Meadows arrives, having traced his errant son to the Woodcock estate. It turns out that Thomas was, all along, the young man to whom Rosetta had been betrothed - and he had also run away to escape the repugnant forced marriage. All ends happily.

Sexual assault, harassment linked to women's high blood pressure risk
(Longhua Liao/Moment, Getty Images)
Sexual assault and workplace sexual harassment – traumatic and common experiences for U.S. women – may increase the long-term risk of developing high blood pressure, according to new research.
"Reducing sexual violence against women, which is important in its own right, may also provide a strategy for improving women's lifetime cardiovascular health," study author Rebecca B. Lawn said in a news release. She is a postdoctoral research fellow in epidemiology at Harvard University's T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston.
Compared to women who said they had never been sexually assaulted or harassed, those who experienced both had a 21% higher risk of developing high blood pressure, according to the study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association. Women who reported experiencing workplace sexual harassment alone had a 15% higher risk, and sexual assault alone carried an 11% higher risk.
Researchers said their analysis ruled out other types of trauma as being associated with the increased risk of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death among women.
"These results suggest that screening for a broader range of experiences of sexual violence in routine health care, including sexual harassment in the workplace, as well as verbal harassment or assault, and being aware of and treating potential cardiovascular health consequences, may be beneficial for women's long-term health," Lawn said.
Previous studies have shown up to 44% of women report having had some form of unwanted sexual contact. Up to 80% report having been sexually harassed at work.
Lawn and colleagues analyzed seven years' worth of data for 33,127 women who had no history of hypertension or had not taken medication for high blood pressure as of 2008. Their average age was 53 at the time, and most of them were white.
By 2015, nearly 7,100, about 1 in 5 of the women, had developed high blood pressure. The lifetime prevalence was 23% for sexual assault and 12% for workplace sexual harassment, and 6% of women reported both.
Although it's becoming more common for primary care providers to screen for partner violence, Lawn said, "exposure to sexual violence is not widely recognized as a contributor to women's cardiovascular health."
According to AHA statistics, nearly 43% of women in the U.S. ages 20 and older have high blood pressure, which is defined as 130/80 mmHg or higher.
Nearly all the study participants were non-Hispanic white women who worked as professional nurses, so the findings may not be applicable to the general population. The study also was limited by the fact that the timing and severity of the sexual assault and workplace harassment were not captured, which may affect the impact of other traumas. And sexual violence was assessed retrospectively, which means it is subject to memory recall issues.
"We hope future studies will examine these questions with more detailed information on sexual and other forms of violence," Lawn said. "These questions need to be investigated in more diverse groups of people of various ages, races and ethnic backgrounds and gender."

WHILE IT'S good to the see the USS Georgia back home at the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, it's even better that the U.S. Navy has a new, stealthier tool to use in the global war on terrorism.
The state's namesake nuclear-power sub had been decommissioned in 1994 after only a 10-year run - far short of what was originally envisioned. That's because when the Cold War had ended, and the vessel's role as a deterrent to nuclear war ceased, too.
But just as a changing world put the USS Georgia on the sidelines, a changing world is putting this Ohio-class sub back in the game.
The USS Georgia is one of four retrofitted nuclear subs with a new mission - to carry Special Operation troops and Tomahawk cruise missiles to corners of the world where America's interests are threatened.
These subs run silent and deep. This unique combination of stealth, weaponry and special ops capability give the Navy a new platform, one that should serve the nation's defense needs well.
The multi-purpose sub received a $700 million retrofit job and is expected to remain in service for at least 15 years.
Just as the Cold War ended earlier than expected, let's hope the war on terrorism comes to a premature conclusion - and, that the USS Georgia plays a big part.

'Efficienology' chief on reinventing Sharjah's energy landscape
SEWA's Eng Afra Alowais, talks to Fatima de la Cerna about the different measures the Sharjah government has adopted to encourage building owners to retrofit their properties
Eng Afra Alowais, chief efficienology officer, SEWA.
SEWA's retrofit programme targets Sharjahs top 100 energy consumers.
by Fatima De La Cerna
When it comes to its retrofit programme, the Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA) is foregoing the stick in favour of the carrot as it aims to encourage participation through incentives rather than regulations.
"It is very easy to add a regulation in Sharjah, but it is not our methodology," says Eng Afra Alowais, SEWA's chief 'efficienology' officer and one of the featured speakers at the RetrofitTech Dubai Summit & Awards 2018.
Explaining that the authority does not want building owners to feel compelled to retrofit their properties for fear of being penalised, she continues: "We don't have any regulation to force customers to participate in the programme, but we are trying to show them what SEWA can do and offer, and how they will benefit if they join."
According to Alowais, SEWA launched its retrofit programme at the end of last year, with the introduction of its energy service company (ESCO) certification initiative. Describing the authority's ESCO registration process as "simple and easy", she tells Construction Week that SEWA does not require ESCOs to have a Sharjah trade licence, which means that companies operating outside the emirate can register.
"If [ESCOs] have a trade licence in other emirates, like Abu Dhabi or Dubai, they can immediately work in Sharjah," she says. "And international companies are also welcome. We opened the [registration] to both [local] and international companies because we want to increase the programme's competitiveness and find innovative solutions for our customers."
At the moment, SEWA has three registered ESCOs – Taka Solutions, Smart4power, and Enova – and around 10 more are finalising their applications.
Alowais explains that the registration process starts with SEWA qualifying the interested ESCO. This is followed by field certification: "We go with the ESCOs into the field, so we can check their practical work, like if they are doing energy audits, we need to see how they do them. We need to check their engineers – their qualifications and skills – because at the end of the day, they will be SEWA's ambassadors.
"They will [work with] customers on behalf of SEWA, so we need to make sure that they do their best."
SEWA has identified the top 100 energy consumers in the emirate, Alowais reveals, adding that these will be the focus of the government's retrofit initiative.
"We [treat] them as our VIPs because they are the customers that use most of our energy and network, so we need to take care of them, to help them reduce their consumption and increase their efficiency," she says. "By doing that, we will be able to use the energy we save from their buildings to meet the demands of other customers."
Helping customers to increase the efficiency of their buildings would support SEWA's goal of achieving 30% energy savings in Sharjah by 2020 – a target that the emirate has been moving towards since 2015. "[This target] cannot be compared to those of other emirates because by 30%, we mean the whole power sector – generation, transmission, and distribution – and not just the supply or demand side," explains Alowais, emphasising that achieving the target is especially important in light of the growing number of megaprojects being developed in Sharjah.
"This is one of the challenges of SEWA," she says. "We need to consider all these new projects that come suddenly, [which is] why we are looking to increase the efficiency of our highest consumers, so we will have the extra energy supply for the projects that are being built. There needs to be a balance between supply and demand."
When asked whether SEWA would consider alternative energy sources, Alowais brings up the variability of renewables, saying: "Not in the short-term, because we are focusing on efficiency, to make the network ready and more stable, before we can inject renewables."
Alowais goes on to note that around 40% of SEWA's top 100 consumers are from the industrial sector, while 33% are from the government and 26% are commercial entities.
Pointing out that the industrial sector has a "lot of potential" for energy savings, she adds that retrofit activities involving industrial companies and buildings have specific requirements that ESCOs without experience in the sector struggle to fulfil.
"This is one of the challenges of the ESCO market," she says. "You need an experienced ESCO because [retrofitting] can affect the company's processes and production line. You don't want to affect profits, so you need to find a flexible ESCO with experience in the industrial sector."
This awareness of the varying retrofit needs of different sectors has prompted SEWA to offer free consultancy services, including energy audits.
According to Alowais, by offering free energy audits, SEWA is able to use numbers to convince customers that they stand to benefit from retrofitting their properties, which she describes as being more effective than simply detailing what the retrofit programme is all about.
"We ask the customers to allow us to carry out an energy audit on their buildings, and then we discuss with them their savings potential," she explains. "When customers see the figures and numbers, they will be open and ready to listen. At that stage, they will collaborate with you to find the best way to achieve [the savings].
"You can't just introduce the programme without showing them some numbers. If you go to a customer saying we can save them 30% in [their building's energy use], they will ask you how you knew that. But if you audit the building first and show them exactly how much they can save, they will be convinced to listen to you."
In addition to energy audits, SEWA matches retrofit projects with registered ESCOs for free, says Alowais, adding that the scheme benefits all parties: "The ESCO can get work through SEWA, and the customer can get the best offer, also through SEWA."
The authority's energy-efficiency efforts are not just directed towards the retrofitting of existing buildings, however. SEWA has started selling products it deems efficient, such as light-emitting diode lighting systems, and has extended its free consultancy services to new construction.
"When customers come to us, they ask for electricity and water services," Alowais says. "What SEWA does is try to find the best product for each customer. We will recommend the best brands and help them find out how they can make their buildings more efficient, even before construction.
"Instead of developing the building and then wondering how to reduce its consumption, it is better to start from the beginning."

More About Bhagawan Nityananda's Divine Presence
Shri Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri is said to have been an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Still others say he was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu and, still others claim that he was the very incarnation of Lord Krishna. Is it any wonder that, when people pressed Bade Baba (big Baba, as he is also called) about such details, he responded by saying "You want me to tell you about myself? How is that possible when I have realized that I am in everything and there is nothing around me in which I don't find my own Self?"
He went on to say that his parents and brothers were those who loved God and worked to serve God. There are many stories about how Bhagawan Nityananda arrived on this Earth plane. When people made attempts to verify these stories, Bade Baba usually admonished them, stating that such details are important only to curiosity-seekers. And yet, on one occasion, in response to questions about his birth, he was heard to say "Two crows came and went."


The vast majority of workers, managers, and company executives want to work for ethical organizations, and want to grow in responsible and sustainable ways. This is a given, and yet scandals like Volkswagen and Valeant Pharmaceuticals erupt every single year, without fail.
What is it that drives unethical behavior when companies are focused on growth? It turns out that there are some common blind spots that develop inside of all companies, even ones that are full of decent and ethical people who are looking to do the right thing.
Sometimes a bad apple does a bad thing, and a good compliance program can prove it. For instance, in 2012 a Morgan Stanley employee was sentenced to nine months in prison for FCPA violations in China. Yet the U.S. Department of Justice declined to prosecute Morgan Stanley itself. Their compliance chief was able to show that they had trained the employee on FCPA 7 times and reminded him to comply at least 35 times.
This shows that sometimes an employee may be the problem and a company has no responsibility for his or her actions. But in 2014 alone, the DOJ issued $8 billion in fines, the SEC $4 billion, while the FCPA came in at $1.5 billion and EPA $10 billion in fines. The pharmaceutical industry alone paid out almost $4 billion in fines for fraud. Companies like Morgan Stanley are doing a great job of proving they are a good corporate citizen, but we have a long way to go.
Pushing for growth is a natural and necessary part of doing business, but it's helpful to know where research shows things can go wrong.
When companies put pressure on employees to achieve remarkable results, they might achieve those results by breaking the law. For instance, Volkswagen put "titanic" pressure on engineers to make a clean and high-performing diesel. That aggressive push led dozens of people to create and sustain a massive lie.
In sports, we can see a similar phenomena with titans like Lance Armstrong and Mark McGuire, both who tried to cheat the system to achieve phenomenal success. They don't set out to cheat; they set out to win.
If a company is doing well, it has little incentive to start digging around for possible conflicts between its ethics and its profits. To cite VW again, their "cleaner" diesel and overall marketing had led them to surpass Toyota as the biggest car manufacturer in the world. This kind of success can make it hard to sniff out problematic areas internally, which is why regulatory agencies exist in the first place.
Third parties can make it easier to consider bad ethics someone else's problem, such as the rapidly deflating Valeant Pharmaceuticals using subsidiary Philidor Rx Services to run up prices. (They may also be involved in some creative bookkeeping as well, but that data isn't yet in.) Yet their actions have gotten the attention of Congress, which is something everyone wants to avoid.
This outsourcing of ethical problems may have been part of the rationale for the Supreme Court's interpretation of Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) in Lawson v. FMR LLC in 2014. This extended whistleblower protections to contractors working for publically-held companies, and to any privately-held company that does any work whatsoever for a public one. The implications of this change in the law will be coming soon to court near you.
When bad apples act alone, they don't inspire others to follow them. But when an employee begins to skirt the law, maybe just a little, and get rewarded for it, there can be ripple effects.
Dozens of highly educated professionals slowly copied their boss, Bernie Madoff, in creating the biggest Ponzi scheme in history. More typically, workers might notice that one of their co-workers is less concerned about how he gives gifts away in China, and his business is exploding. Without clear and continual guidance from a home office, this can spiral out of control.
The "tone from the top" can also create copycats, in the sense that a Board and executive team that largely lip-services ethics and compliance is almost guaranteed to create a company culture that is far more prone to cutting corners or even breaking the law.
A questionably ethical decision that leads to profits and market expansion is far less likely to receive the scrutiny of a Board and executive team – in fact, the opposite might just be true. When one looks at major league baseball, for instance (a major and very profitable business), one can see that it wasn't until Congress became involved in 2005 that the MLB association began getting serious about steroid testing. There was just too much money at stake with hitters like Bonds and McGuire shattering attendance and home run records.
The bottom line for compliance is simple: while it's known that bad ethics is bad for business, it's also true that the most ethical companies are also the most profitable.
According to the Society for Human Resource Management, in 2013 the stock price growth of the 100 most ethical firms (based on the most widely used measure of ethical workplace culture) outperformed stock market and peer indices by almost 300%. In thirteen years leading up to the 2011, the annualized returns of FORTUNE'S 100 Best Companies to Work For, were 11%, while just over 3% for the S&P 500.
We will be covering the case for becoming best-of-breed compliance, and a great deal more, in our free webinar on Tuesday, November 17th.

Car delivery receipt
Vehicle delivery receipt: what is it, why
All drivers, sooner or later, will have to buy their own vehicle. However, when implementing the previous one, there are many points to pay attention to. Otherwise, you can quickly get disappointed in buying a car. After you have gathered detailed information and even made a purchase, you should think about delivery and its legal aspects. Today we will talk in detail on this topic to help you understand the final stage of buying a car.
What is a car delivery receipt format? This receipt is a relevant document drawn up by a trader, ie a company or individual who sells a vehicle (or any other product). The customer receives a receipt when the goods are handed over to him or at the end of the service. After that, he signs the document. His signature means that the order was delivered in accordance with the terms of the contract, and the person has no claims. The responsibilities of the customer who receives this receipt include payment, which is pre-agreed and indicated in the invoice.
What does the receipt look like? Like any other official document, the invoice must contain certain features that must be prescribed. Examples of such important information are:
Communication data of the recipient of the invoice, including name and legal form;
Date;
Receipt serial number;
Customer number;
List of products sold or services provided;
Receipt amount (depending on the invoice and the recipient separately in the net and including VAT);
Payment term;
Additional information (which is specified in the individual contract of sale)
What to pay attention to? Everyone, without exception, wants to receive a service or product with delivery at the highest level. Especially when it comes to expensive car purchases. Therefore, in such cases, you should monitor the process and all levels of execution of your order. How to do it? The answer is you, but it's very simple.
First step. All you need at this stage is to contact the support service of the company where the purchase was made and ask for the exact time and place of delivery. That is, to check the dealer or the order is executed according to the specified term. Additional information: the customer has the right to know the current location of the vehicle. So, it will not be superfluous to inquire about the previous one.
The second step concerns the legal part. When your car is delivered, do not rush to sign a receipt. You should read it and read the information written there. If you notice any changes in the document, you must notify the appropriate authorities.
The third step: evaluation of the work done. Of course, delivery must take place in accordance with the provisions of the contract. But there are many situations when something went wrong and, for example, the carrier damaged the integrity of the car. If this happens, you need to state the case and notify the dealer, after which he is obliged to pay penalties.

William Pereira was charged with impaired and "over 80". At trial the breath technician testified. During his evidence he identified the lot # for the alcohol standard that was used in the approved instrument. During cross-examination it was elicited that the lot # provided by the breath technician - as recorded in his alcohol influence report - was different that the lot # recorded on the certificate.
The accused submitted that if the Crown was seeking to rely upon the presumption of identity - section 258(1)(c) - then it needed to prove, inter alia, that the instrument was being operated properly. The discrepancy in the lot # was evidence, the accused argued, that the instrument was not operated properly. The trial judge accepted that argument and acquitted the accused.
The Crown appealed: R v Pereira, 2011 CarswellOnt 3208 (SCJ).
While logic and common sense do not always dictate the result, there appears to me to be only one explanation for the discrepency. The qualified breath technician testified that he was recording the number for the alcohol standard from a sticker of some sort that was on the Intoxilyzer machine itself. The only explanation I can think of is the qualified breath technician made a regrettable but human error in writing down the lot number and/or transposing it to the certificate. I can't think of any scenario in which this error could cast the slightest doubt on the validity of the reading [para 5].
...the fact that there may be that slight discrepancy in the identified for the standard certainly doesn't raise any doubt that there was an alcohol standard in the machine. If Parliament intended that in order to invoke the presumption it was necessary for the witness to be able to definitely identify the alcohol standard, Parliament would have said so as it did in s. 258(1)(g) [para 9].
Sproat J allowed the Crown appeal.

One of George Brooks's subjects getting his blood drawn as he exercises on a stationary bike during a study of respiration and lactate metabolism in humans.
In a recent article in the journal Cell Metabolism, Brooks, a professor of integrative biology at UC Berkeley, reviews the history of the misunderstanding of lactate – often called lactic acid – a small molecule that plays a big role in metabolism. Typically labeled a "waste" product produced by muscles because lactate rises to high levels in the blood during extreme exercise, athletic trainers and competitive athletes think of lactate as the cause of muscle fatigue, reduced performance and pain.

Yesterday I spoke about the friendships I've made or extended through blogging. I cut this section out of my post and decided to post it today.
I've got loads of blogs that I follow. These lovely ladies aren't the big time bloggers who blog as a career – they just make the world a better place for those of us acquainted their writing.
I think this is a nice little spot to share some of my favourite blogger buddies! Only a few – I'm sure this list will grow, I'm already starting to adore some blogs I've just started to follow, especially some awesome multiple Mum's, so refer to my blogroll.
Graze If You Want to But Don't Eat Dirt Written by the hilariously funny Crazy Sister, this blog will often make me laugh. And you know how much I love a good giggle! What's even more awesome is that I discovered that this Crazy Sister, (So named in her sister's fabulous blog – also worthy of a look see. Check it out here), literally lives down the road from me! So now we are cyber pals and friends in the flesh!
Reaching For Green Emily Sue often drops by this blog and leaves lovely comments. I'm not half as good at leaving comments back to her, but I love reading her raw, honest blog. If you want to start making blog friends, do as Emily Sue does and leave comments. Just like in 'real life', the key to establishing friendships is communication. Thanks Emily Sue!
A Fruitful Life Lacey is a friend of mine. I feel like I know Lacey so much better since reading her blog though. She has fresh and honest writing style. She writes a great blog about all types of subjects ranging from DIY's to babyhood. It's always a great read.
B Being Cool B is another friend. I've known her forever, we were young fair maidens together. B was even my bridesmaid when I married my Prince. Since our uni days, our paths don't cross quite as much, even though we are fortunate enough to be living in the same town once again. However, B. and I are loving reconnecting so much more since facebook and through our blogs. Her blog is really excellent and a tribute to her as a writer. It's thoughtful, insightful, witty and as the name suggests, very, very, cool!

Q: Unable to use 'dynamic' with Json.Net and Universal Apps I have the following code
var client = new HttpClient();
var url = new Uri("https://someuri/someresource", UriKind.Absolute);
var response = await client.GetAsync(url);
var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var json = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(content) as dynamic;

As per what I see when I debug the code, everything is completed successfully; i.e., the above returns the expected JSON, and json object has the expected properties... let's assume it is:
{ "current_page": 1, "total_pages": 7, "items": [ ... ] }

However, when I do json.current_page, I get the following exception:

'object' does not contain a definition for 'current_page' and no
  extension method 'current_page' accepting a first argument of type
  'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an
  assembly reference?)

Does anyone has an ides on what's going wrong here?
P.S. I tried it with both types of Universal Apps, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1.
P.S. Same code works with a Console application, but not Universal Apps.

A: You are getting an object with no defined properties on it and you need to parse it first. You can use System.Web.Helpers.Json class as follows
dynamic data = Json.Decode(json);

As I can see you are using newtonsoft so you can achieve the same using Parse as follows
dynamic d = JObject.Parse(@"{ ""current_page"": 1, ""total_pages"": 7}");
Console.WriteLine(d.current_page);

A: I recently ran into the same issue and saw that you had opened an issue on GitHub.
This is the answer:

UWP apps use the PCL259 assembly and it doesn't support dynamic. A dedicated assembly will probably be added in the future but not anytime in the next couple of releases.

}

When I unmarshal the data, the EbayCategory.categories list is always null even though there is clearly data. There is no exception or other message from what I can see, it just does nothing. In Java 7, this worked perfectly. Was there some change between versions, or is there something that I am doing incorrectly?

A: It seems that in Java 8, performing operations in the getter when annotated with a JAXB annotation will cause issues. When the getCategories() method is changed to only return the local value, everything works just fine.
@XmlElementWrapper(name="categories", namespace="urn:types.partner.api.shopping.com")
@XmlElement(name="category", namespace="urn:types.partner.api.shopping.com")

When Lehman Brothers failed, banks' real estate lending units pulled down the shutters. The implications are still being dealt with a decade later.
Ten years on, the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the shock waves that reverberated around the world still evoke strong memories for Peter Denton, finance director of Hyde Housing, who was at the time a leading UK real estate debt financier.
Denton recalls the gloom among business acquaintances and colleagues at German lender WestImmo while attending EXPO Real in Munich, the first major property gathering following that dark day on 15 September 2008 when Lehman filed for bankruptcy.
Around the same time, former Merrill Lynch head of real estate trading, Nassar Hussain, was working in private equity, based in Dubai, and "getting the odd text message from friends in London: 'if you have a deposit with RBS, you should think about moving money to another bank'".
The bankruptcy of such an iconic banking powerhouse as Lehman brought the world's financial system to the brink of collapse, completely shaking confidence in the sector for years to come. But in those first weeks and months, it was turmoil.
Lee: by the beginning of 2009 there was no liquidity.
This was, of course, the chaotic start of the global financial crisis, from which, to a greater or lesser extent, the major economies are still recovering and only because of unprecedented intervention by governments and central banks. Interest rates have remained lower for longer, quantitative easing will remain in place in Europe until the end of the year.
Over the past decade, banks around the world have strengthened their balance sheets, held more capital and invested in risk management, all largely due to greater regulation – the quid pro quo for huge bailouts by the taxpayer. "No more Lehmans," declared former US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, setting the regulatory tone in the early days of the crisis although it was only last December that a global agreement was reached for the final Basel III package of capital requirements for banks.
Yet anyone with a real estate perspective tends to look back beyond 15 September 2008 for some context here, specifically to 2007, or as Lee puts it, "the absolute peak of exuberance in the real estate capital markets". Such exuberance lay at the heart of Lehman's troubles, not least its $23.7 billion leveraged buyout of Archstone, one of the largest owners of apartments in the US.
Yet, for at least a year before September 2008, there had been a global credit crunch. The US economy was already blighted by the subprime housing mortgage crisis, which ultimately forced the US Treasury in the week before Lehman's collapse to place the two largest multifamily lenders, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, into conservatorship – where they remain. Six months earlier, JPMorgan Chase & Co completed a rescue takeover of Bear Stearns following emergency talks brokered by the US government. Bank of America Corp extended a similar corporate lifeline to Merrill Lynch the same weekend that Lehman crashed.
Given the rocketing real estate values on both sides of the Atlantic, there were enough warning signals in the year leading up to Lehman's bankruptcy, if only the bankers paid heed. Some did. Before moving to Dubai, Hussain, while managing director at Merrill Lynch, exited all his European real estate positions by early 2007.
Ten years on, have lessons been learnt? The question becomes increasingly pertinent the longer lenders and borrowers work their way through this current economic cycle – during which, real estate has outperformed other asset classes, yet pricing of prime property is a widespread issue today in major European cities. There have been well-aired concerns, too, about the health of the banking sector in some countries – notably Italy – and specifically Deutsche Bank, which is currently trying to shake off comparisons with Lehman following years of poor financial results.
Hussain believes UK banks are in better shape today because of the way they resisted the temptation to sell assets in the early years of the financial crisis – a marked contrast, he says, to the banks' rash asset sales in the early 1990s recession.
But Denton also suggests that innovation in real estate finance has been stifled to an extent during the drawn-out post-Lehman recovery. He recalls the series of major sale-and-leaseback transactions by telecoms companies across Europe, for instance, during "a very healthy, innovative and really exciting market from 1998 to 2004" before real estate lending went awry. Caution rules today.
Stoffers recalls the early stages of recovery in the US when real estate only attracted "the more progressive banks" that had relatively clean balance sheets. "They viewed it as an opportunity to provide some liquidity at nice yields," he says. US real estate lending has since recovered strongly, although, as Stoffers acknowledges, this late in the cycle and with the prospect of rising interest rates, risk and returns must be adjusted accordingly.
Some potential borrowers are losing out from this discipline. Brookland's Hussain points out that, in the UK, many banks are reluctant to provide small loans, bridging loans or undertake intensive but low-margin business due to increased costs caused partially by increased regulation.
One positive by-product of the banks' caution, however, has been the emergence of a new wave of alternative lenders – from debt funds to well-capitalised insurers. They may not entirely fill the funding gap left by the banks but as Denton and Hussain agree, they bring diversity and a spreading of risk.
As Hussain suggests, debt capital markets today benefit from a diverse range of lenders and "generally speaking a moderate level of risk exposure".
The emergence of alternative lenders as a force in real estate finance has been one of the post-Lehman legacies, and their influence is destined to grow in Asia-Pacific, according to one of the region's key players.
Scholten: alternative lending has gathered pace.
According to Scholten, the rise of alternative lending in Asia-Pacific is largely because the region suffered similar problems in the financial crisis as Western markets. Liquidity very quickly dried up and finance became a major challenge due to increased costs. Asset valuations were negatively impacted as yields climbed, which led to LTV ratio breaches, rights issues to repay or reduce debt, and resetting of transactions. "Several international financial players withdrew operations or stopped real estate lending in some parts of Asia, which then forced borrowers to seek alternative financing solutions at significantly higher margins," he says.

A Look Back At November
As we prepare to elect a new Maryland Democratic Party Chair on December 7, we'd like to take a moment to thank Party staff, volunteers, and allies for the great work they have done in the month of November. While the impeachment hearings and the Democratic debates have been dominating the headlines, Maryland Democrats have been diligently working behind-the-scenes to build up our campaign infrastructure, energize voters, and start in-depth conversations on the biggest issues facing our state.
One of the ways we've been starting conversations is through the MD Dems Podcast. Last month, we released four exciting new episodes covering traffic and transit problems with Gary Hodge of the Maryland Transit Opportunities Coalition, business development in Kent County with Chestertown Councilman-elect Tom Herz, leading on the issues that matter to Marylanders with Baltimore City Mayor Jack Young and Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman, and advancing your career as a black and female professional with Del. Vanessa Atterbeary.
You can find the MD Dems Podcast on the following platforms:
In addition to digging deeper into the issues, we're also working hard to expand the Party's presence all across Maryland. On the organizing front, we've been energizing voters in all corners of the state to elect more Democrats up and down the ballot and take back the White House in 2020. Our movement grows stronger by the day, and it's all thanks to our passionate staffers, volunteers and allies who everyday are going the extra mile. Take a look for yourself to see what we've been up to this November:
On November 2, we started off a busy Saturday with our first-ever Policy Summit, where a multidisciplinary set of guest panelists discussed policy proposals to address climate change.
Following the Summit, we transitioned directly into our 2019 Annual Gala, the first in four years. The theme of this year's Gala was "Celebrating Diversity in Democracy," and featured many exciting guest speakers, including keynote guest House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
From November 3 to November 5, we shifted gears into a marathon GOTV effort in Wicomico, Kent, and Harford Counties, where we defended Democratic seats and tried to flip some Republican seats into Democratic hands. Our victories on election night have shown us once again that Democrats can win across the state.
On November 9, we joined the Baltimore County Democratic Party to knock on doors in local communities!
On November 10, we canvassed in Harford County with some passionate volunteers.
On November 13, we rallied in Annapolis with the Legislative Black Caucus and higher education advocates to demand a fair settlement in Maryland HBCUs' lawsuit against the State. Many thanks to Delegate Darryl Barnes, Delegate Charles E. Sydnor III, and Speaker Adrienne Jones for your leadership on this important issue.
Later that day, we joined Pamela Faulker and the United Democratic Women of Maryland as they spoke at the Garrett County Democratic Club meeting.
On November 14, Executive Director Ben Smith spoke at Frederick County's Ploughman and Fisherman Unity Dinner to update attendees on the Party's progress over the year.
On November 16, we knocked on doors in Parkville with Democrats in Baltimore County!
On November 17, we knocked on doors with Democratic volunteers in Harford County.
From November 17 to November 19, our friends at the Maryland State and D.C. AFL-CIO hosted their 32nd Biennial Convention. Big shout-out to our friends in labor, along with President Donna Edwards, who has been a trailblazer and champion for working families across the state!
On November 19, we joined the Prince George's County Democratic Central Committee to welcome their newly appointed District Coordinators!
On November 20, we joined the Democratic Women's Club of Worcester County for their debate watch party!
We also joined Democrats for a watch party in Carroll County.
From November 20 to November 21, our Communications and Political teams attended the CampaignTech Innovation Summit in D.C. to learn more about the latest technologies, strategies, and research that will give Democrats an edge over the competition.
On November 21, we joined the Frederick County Democratic Central Committee for their last meeting with current members!
On November 23, we knocked on doors in Baltimore County with the Baltimore County Progressive Democrats Club!
And in Charles County, we joined Greg Waring, President of the Northern Charles County Democratic Club, and Lauretta Miles, Chair of the Charles County Democratic Central Committee, for a day of canvassing!
We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events. Sign up at mddems.org/volunteer to help us build our people-powered movement in Maryland.

Love Island reality star, Mike Thalassitis, has died aged 26. The reality television star and semi-professional footballer died on Friday, his management confirmed.
Mike Thalassitis found fame on the 2017 series of the ITV show.
Prior to competing on Love Island in 2017, Thalassitis was a semi-professional soccer player in England. He also appeared on the British reality show Celebs Go Dating.
According to the BBC, Thalassitis was previously in a relationship with The Only Way Is Essex star and country singer Megan McKenna. The pair were together for seven months before calling it quits last year.
"Mike was so misunderstood – on television he was known as playing the ladies and everyone had this perception that he was this classic lad that didn't have feelings.
"I can honestly say, Mike was thoughtful, caring, and so fiercely loyal to his friends and family and really would do anything for them.
So sad,too too young to die. May his soul rest in peace.
He was far too young to die. Why are young people dying so.
So sorry brother, despite that I don't know you, but you are human like me. May God accept you in his Humble abode (heaven). RIP.

National League round-up: All the latest comings and goings across the division
There's been managerial comings and goings over the week, while Cards' rivals Aldershot Town have turned heads with a young new signing
Ryan O'Donovan
National League round-up: All the news from across the division
It has been yet another busy week in the Vanarama National League as it takes a one week break for teams to play in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.
One manager comes in at Tranmere another goes (sort of) at York, while Aldershot Town have turned heads with the capture of a young man who was on trial at Manchester United in September.
There were also manager and player of the month gongs up for grabs in a week that saw Forest Green Rovers reach the summit of the National League.
Woking FC: 3G at Sutton and a trip down memory lane
Micky Mellon appointed Tranmere Rovers manager
Micky Mellon returned to Tranmere when he was appointed as their new manager after leaving the helm of League One Shrewsbury Town.
His first game in charge was one in front of the BT Sport cameras where his new side overcame Wrexham at Prenton Park thanks to a 2-0 win which saw them up to seventh place.
Speaking of his appointment, Tranmere chairman Mark Palios said: "I am delighted to bring Micky back to Tranmere Rovers for a third time. His track record speaks for itself.
"He already has a number of promotions to his name and we are confident he will add to that record once more at Prenton Park.
"We are especially pleased to bring in a manager currently managing in League One and who sees the potential in the Club."
Manager of the month award for Ronnie Moore
Eastleigh's Ronnie Moore picked up the September manager of the month award after finishing his first full month in charge of the club with vital away wins against Macclesfield Town and Forest Green.
No club achieved a 100% record but the wins away from home against promotion rivals tipped the judges favour to the former Football League boss.
Jackie McNamara leaves York, but stays on?

York City boss Jackie McNamara has left his position as manager of the club after only managing a point at Braintree Town on the weekend, but will stay on to train and prepare the team.
The Scotsman will continue to do this until a replacement is found for him, which in essence makes him the caretaker manager of the club.
The board hope that a new manager will be in place within two weeks.
Aldershot Town sign Manchester United trialist
(Image: @mrmujac/Twitter)
You read that right - The Shots have turned heads by signing Idris Kanu who was on trial with Manchester United in September.
The 16-year-old scored twice for United's U18s against Middlesbrough and it was thought the Manchester giants were keen on recruiting the youngster, but he has decided to ply his trade in Hampshire instead.
He made his debut in the 2-0 victory over Solihull at the weekend and impressed in his eight minute cameo, leaving fans excited for what more will come from the youngster.
Sutton United make moves into the transfer market
Sutton United have signed George McLennan to replace Dan Wishart who moved to Forest Green Rovers earlier in the month.
Formerly with Reading, McLennan, who is a Scottish under-19 international, was a regular in Cheltenham Town's National League title-winning squad last season.
Boss Paul Doswell said: ''George comes to us highly recommended - we've had our eye on him for some time and hope he will have a successful time with us and make similar progress to Dan."
There were reports that McLennan was set to join League One Gillingham in June but that move seemed to fall through - Cheltenham will be due compensation as part of the deal.

Graduate School Seminar
Modernity on Display: Technology, Science and the Culture Wars at International Expositions circa World War II
Date and time: Thursday 4th April 2013, 4 – 7 p.m.
Venue: Boardroom, University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, London W1B 2UW.
Professor Robert Kargon, Willis K. Shepard Professor of the History of Science, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.
Dr Arthur Molella, Director, The Lemelson Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC.
Seminar abstract:
Introduction: Modernity and the Uses of Display
Part I: "Whose Modernity? Social Reform and Commerce at the 1939 New York World's Fair"
Part II: "The Appian Way to Modernity: Past Meets Future at Mussolini's World Fair of Rome"
International expositions are receiving significant attention from historians of science and technology, and of culture more generally. These complex events mirror ideological and national rivalries as well as domestic social, economic and political struggles. In short, they are remarkable indices of important historical tensions.
Especially interesting are the international expositions planned and/or mounted just before the outbreak of the Second World War. These expositions reflected the political regimes of the host countries, and in some cases serious divisions within them. They also highlight increasingly tense ideological divisions between nations representing liberal or social democratic republics (France and the US), communist (Soviet Union) and reactionary modernist or fascist regimes such as Germany, Italy and Japan.
The book in progress on which this seminar will be based includes chapters about World's Fairs and expositions from 1937 to 1942, drawing upon three actually built, Paris, 1937, Dusseldorf 1937 and New York 1939, and two planned in detail but, owing to the coming of war, never executed, Tokyo 1940 and Rome 1942. The presentations this afternoon will use two examples – New York 1939 and Rome 1942 – to illuminate the representation of science and technology at these fairs as indicators of modernity as part of the on-going culture and propaganda wars preceding actual hostilities.
This event is open and free. R.S.V.P. (and further information) Sharon Sinclair, [email protected]
