Reds Exploiting Blacks: The Roots of Black Lives Matter
by James Simpson on January 12, 2016
This is a report from the AIM Center for Investigative Journalism
The Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) casts itself as a spontaneous uprising born of inner city frustration, but is, in fact, the latest and most dangerous face of a web of well-funded communist/socialist organizations that have been agitating against America for decades. Its agitation has provoked police killings and other violence, lawlessness and unrest in minority communities throughout the U.S. If allowed to continue, that agitation could devolve into anarchy and civil war. The BLM crowd appears to be spoiling for just such an outcome.
Nevertheless, BLM appears to be exercising considerable leverage over the Democratic Party, in part by pressuring and intimidating Democratic candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (VT) into embracing their cause. The movement could also assist President Obama's exploitation of racial divisions in society beyond his final term in office.
This report examines in detail, for the first time, how communist groups have manipulated the cause of Black Lives Matter, and how money from liberal foundations has made it all possible.
Leftist Origins
Exploiting blacks to promote Marxist revolution is an old tactic. The late Larry Grathwohl, former FBI informant in the Weather Underground, understood from personal experience how white communists exploited blacks and other minority groups. He said that Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn regarded Barack Obama, whose political career they sponsored, as a tool—a puppet—to use against white America. Obama's legacy at home will certainly include more racial division.
BLM launched in 2013 with a Twitter hashtag, #BlackLivesMatter, after neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman was acquitted in the Trayvon Martin killing. Radical Left activists Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi claim credit for the slogan and hashtag. Following the Michael Brown shooting in August 2014, Dream Defenders, an organization led by Working Families Party (ACORN) activist and Occupy Wall Street anarchist Nelini Stamp, popularized the phrase "Hands Up–Don't Shoot!" which has since become BLM's widely recognized slogan.
Garza, Cullors and Tometi all work for front groups of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), one of the four largest radical Left organizations in the country. The others are the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS). Nelini Stamp's ACORN—now rebranded under a variety of different names—works with all four organizations, and Dream Defenders is backed by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the ACLU, the Southern Poverty Law Center and others.
FRSO is a hereditary descendant of the New Communist Movement, which was inspired by Mao and the many communist revolutions throughout the world in the 1960s and 1970s. FRSO split into two separate groups in 1999, FRSO/Fight Back and FRSO/OSCL (Freedom Road Socialist Organization/Organizaci?n Socialista del Camino para la Libertad). Black Lives Matter and its founders are allied with the latter group. Future references to FRSO in this article refer to FRSO/OSCL.
FRSO is comprised of dozens of groups. The radical Left model is based on alliances of many organizations that are working on separate issues but dedicated ultimately to the same thing: overthrowing our society in order to replace it with a hardcore socialist (read communist) one.
The goal is to present the appearance of a formidable mass of organizations. Some are large, but many are little more than a website or Facebook page. When necessary, they can all come together to promote the cause du jour. The deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and others were mere pretexts for socialist agitation. The real enemy is "the system." This is why the BLM crowd denies the facts of those cases. As Stamp has said, "we are actually trying to change the capitalist system we have today because it's not working for any of us."
BLM is one of many projects undertaken by the FRSO. Except for the website, blacklivesmatter.com, there is no actual organization. The website implicitly acknowledges this, describing #BlackLivesMatter as "an online forum intended to build connections between Black people and our allies to fight anti-Black racism, to spark dialogue among Black people, and to facilitate the types of connections necessary to encourage social action and engagement."
FRSO membership is disproportionately represented by blacks, gays and women, and self-consciously emphasizes those issues. Garza, who penned a "Herstory" of BLM, is a "queer," black veteran activist involved in numerous FRSO organizations. Her resumé includes:
Special projects director, National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA)
Executive Director, People Organized to Win Employment Rights (POWER)
Board member, School of Unity and Liberation (SOUL)
2011 Board Chair, Right to the City Alliance (RTTC)
Cullors describes herself as a "working class, queer, black woman." She claims the country killed her father, a drug addict. At a 2015 Netroots Nation conference, Cullors led chants shouting, "If I die in police custody, burn everything down… rise the fuck up! That is the only way motherfuckers like you will listen!" Cullors founded and directs Dignity and Power Now (DPN), which claims to seek "dignity and power of incarcerated people, their families, and communities."
Cullors was trained by Eric Mann, a former Weather Underground leader who exhorts followers to become "anti-racist, anti-imperialist" activists. Mann runs another FRSO front, the Labor/Community Strategy Center. Like most professional leftists, he makes good money—over $225,000 annually—living in "the system" he advocates destroying.
Tometi is the daughter of illegal aliens from Nigeria. While in college, she worked for the ACLU defending illegal aliens against "vigilantes" opposed to illegal immigration. She is currently the executive director of Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI).
The Funding
FRSO/BLM organizations are generously supported by a universe of wealthy foundations. Some, like those employing BLM founders Garza and Tometi, receive money directly. Others, like Cullors' DPN, are financed by organizations designed specifically to underwrite the activities of others. Amounts reflect donations received over approximately the past decade.
NDWA (Garza)—2013 revenues were $5.5 million. The NDWA board includes two members of CASA de Maryland, the Illegals' version of ACORN. CASA also received a grant from NDWA in 2013, as did the radical Left Institute for Policy Studies. NDWA receives funding from the following foundations:
POWER (Garza)—2013 revenues were $456,676, including $92,173 in government grants. POWER evolved from the now defunct communist group STORM (Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement). Obama's former "Green Jobs Czar" the self-described communist, Van Jones, served on STORM's board.
RTTC (Garza)—2013 revenues were $248,190. RTTC is a nationwide network of activist organizations that resists the gentrification of inner cities because it displaces "low-income people, people of color, marginalized LGBTQ communities, and youths of color…"
SOUL (Garza)—Despite its small size (2013 revenues at $110,304), SOUL claims to have trained 679 organizers in 2013.
BAJI (Tometi)—2013 revenues were $321,570. This modest organization only lists two full-time staff, yet receives support from many recognizable foundations.
Cullors' DPN is underwritten by Community Partners, a Los Angeles based non-profit with a $24 million budget (including $4 million in government grants) that fiscally sponsors non-profits. It is not an FRSO organization.
Advancement Project (AP)—an FRSO group that funds a variety of radical causes. AP sees America as a racist, oppressive nation and, according to Discover the Networks, "works to organize 'communities of color' into politically cohesive units while disseminating its leftist worldviews and values as broadly as possible by way of a sophisticated communications department." Its 2013 revenues were $11.3 million.
Movement Strategy Center (MSC)—also facilitates funding, development and advancement of FRSO organizations. Its 2013 revenues were $7.5 million, including $156,032 in government grants.
The Return of Van Jones
Mainstream funders have helped fund BLM as well. For example, United Way has partnered with A&E and iHeartMedia to create Shining the Light Advisors, a committee of "nationally known experts and leaders in racial and social justice," to oversee grant disbursements. These "advisors" include such radicals as Van Jones, Advancement Project co-director Judith Browne Dianis, and Rinku Sen, president of the Applied Research Center (ARC).
BLM's mission includes a kitchen sink of favored radical Left causes, including support of poverty elimination programs, prison deinstitutionalization, illegal immigration and gay rights. Highlighting FRSO's orientation toward gay blacks, it describes how "Black, queer and trans folks bear a unique burden from a hetero-patriarchal society that disposes of us like garbage and simultaneously fetishizes us and profits off of us, and that is state violence."
Its wide network of affiliates and partner organizations like CPUSA and ACORN allows BLM to turn out large crowds. Many participate simply to protest, commit violence, loot or all three.
FRSO was prominent at the Ferguson protests and videoed the event. It has even created a Black Lives Matter button. Following are more FRSO organizations involved with BLM. (Funding estimates provided when known).
Black Left Unity—A Marxist/Leninist organization that supports favored causes of the communist Left, including unity with Cuba, war against capitalism and Occupy Wall Street.
Black Workers for Justice—A North Carolina-based group which claims to struggle on behalf of "oppressed nationalities," etc.
Causa Justa/Just Cause—A Black/Latino solidarity organization allied with the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, RTTC and others. Its 2013 revenues were $1.6 million, including $689,484 in government grants.
Grassroots Global Justice Alliance (GGJ)—"a national alliance of US-based grassroots organizing (GRO) groups organizing to build an agenda for power for working and poor people and communities of color."
Hands Up United—Works for "liberation of oppressed Black, Brown, and poor people through education, art, civil disobedience, advocacy, and agriculture."
Intelligent Mischief—Their Black Body Survival Guide is in the works and has raised over $8,000 through IndieGoGo.
Organization for Black Struggle (OBS)—This organization is affiliated with the CPUSA. Its website claims its allies as Black Workers for Justice and the Advancement Project. Chaired by FRSO member Montague Simmons.
Revolutionary Student Coordinating Committee (RSCC) a militant group founded in 2012 by CUNY students. It is networked at different U.S. colleges. This group organized the infamous pro-abortion "Hail Satan" chant at Texas capital. Its extremism is captured in the following video:
Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) is a "national network of groups and individuals organizing White people for racial justice." SURJ quotes Garza saying that "We need you defecting from White supremacy and changing the narrative of White supremacy by breaking White silence."
Strategic Concepts in Organizing and Policy Education (SCOPE)—Its 2013 revenues were $2.8 million. Led by Anthony Thigpenn, a former Black Panther and board member of the Apollo Alliance. Apollo is the secretive alliance of labor, environment and other Left activists that formulated Obama's trillion dollar "stimulus" plan. Board member Van Jones described Apollo "as sort of a grand unified field theory for progressive Left causes." It is now a project of the Blue Green Alliance.
BLM groups have also joined with CPUSA, CCDS, DSA, SEIU, Color of Change and many others. Anarchist and top OWS organizer Lisa Fithian, who orchestrated the 1999 Seattle World Trade Organization riots, trained Ferguson protesters. Fithian says "Create crisis, because crisis is that edge where change is possible."
Fithian echoes Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven—creators of the infamous Cloward/Piven Crisis Strategy—who spent decades attempting to provoke ghetto blacks to riot, because "Poor people can advance only when 'the rest of society is afraid of them.'" Rasheen Aldridge, seen above meeting President Obama, was a leader of the Ferguson protests. He has participated in numerous CPUSA events in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Another prominent CPUSA member active in BLM protests is Michael McPhearson, who leads the Don't Shoot Coalition.
Carl Davidson and Pat Fry, co-chairs of CCDS, exploited the revolutionary atmosphere of the Ferguson riots to create an eight-point plan for "Left Unity" demanding "a common aspiration for socialism."
CCDS photo of BLM protesters
Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) is Missouri's rebranded ACORN group. It created an illustrative chart offering a snapshot of the Left's grievance agenda. Capitalism is always the problem. Socialism is always the solution.
Interestingly, MORE doesn't believe in socialism when it is footing the bill. MORE promised to pay Ferguson protesters $5,000/month to hang out and cause trouble. But just as ACORN stiffed its employees while preaching socialist generosity, MORE stiffed the protesters.
Islamist organizations have also jumped on the BLM bandwagon, reminding us of the unholy alliance that exists between them and the radical Left. In September 2015, the Muslim Brotherhood front-group Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) joined BLM activists in storming California Governor Jerry Brown's office. CAIR also participated in the Ferguson protests. Meanwhile ISIS is recruiting American blacks for its cause.
Intellectual Genealogy of Black Lives Matter
"We must be ready to employ trickery, deceit, law-breaking, withholding and concealing truth… We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us."—Vladimir Lenin
That quote from the Soviet Union's first leader captures the entire essence of the Left's strategy. No matter what the issue, no matter what the facts, the Left advances a relentless, hate-filled narrative that America is irredeemably evil and must be destroyed as soon as possible. The BLM movement is only the latest but perhaps most dangerous variant on this divisive theme.
Communists use language and psychology as weapons. Their constant vilification is a form of psychological terror. It puts America and Americans on trial. The verdict is always guilty. Facts don't matter because the Left does not want to resolve the problems they complain about. They use those problems to agitate and provoke, hoping conflict becomes unavoidable—thereby creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Their hatred is tactical.
Obama's favorite Harvard professor Derrick Bell devised Critical Race Theory, which exemplifies Lenin's strategy as applied to race. According to Discover the Networks:
"Critical race theory contends that America is permanently racist to its core, and that consequently the nation's legal structures are, by definition, racist and invalid … members of "oppressed" racial groups are entitled—in fact obligated—to determine for themselves which laws and traditions have merit and are worth observing…"
Bell's theory is in turn an innovation of Critical Theory—developed by philosophers of the communist Frankfurt School. The school was founded in Frankfurt, Germany in 1923. Its Jewish communist scholars fled Hitler's Germany in the 1930s, relocating to Columbia Teachers College in New York. Critical Theory—which discredits all aspects of Western society—rapidly infected the minds of newly-minted college professors, who then spread its poison throughout the university system. We know it today as political correctness.
The "racist" narrative was turbocharged with the concept of "White Privilege," the notion that whites—the dominant group in capitalist America—are irretrievably racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, fill-in-the-blank-ophobic, imperialistic oppressors who exploit everyone. Whites are the only true evil in the world and should be exterminated.
The "White Skin Privilege" idea was created in 1967 by Noel Ignatiev, an acolyte of Bell and professor at Harvard's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute (Du Bois was a Communist black leader who helped found the NAACP). Ignatiev was a member of CPUSA's most radical wing, the Maoist/Stalinist Provisional Organizing Committee to Reconstitute the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (POC). POC was the intellectual forerunner to FRSO.
Writing under the alias Noel Ignatin, Ignatiev co-authored an SDS pamphlet with fellow radical Ted Allen, titled White Blindspot. In 1992 he co-founded Race Traitor: Journal of the New Abolitionism. Its first issue coined the slogan, "Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity." Its stated objective was to "abolish the white race." More specifically, the New Abolitionist newsletter stated:
"The way to abolish the white race is to challenge, disrupt and eventually overturn the institutions and behavior patterns that reproduce the privileges of whiteness, including the schools, job and housing markets, and the criminal justice system. The abolitionists do not limit themselves to socially acceptable means of protest, but reject in advance no means of attaining their goal (emphasis added)."
But do not be confused; "White" does not mean white. "White" in radical construction means anyone of any race, creed, nationality, color, sex, or sexual preference who embraces capitalism, free markets, limited government and American traditional culture and values. By definition, these beliefs are irredeemably evil and anyone who aligns with them is "white" in spirit and thus equally guilty of "white crimes." Ignatiev still teaches, now at the Massachusetts College of Art.
The Black Lives Matter movement carries this narrative to unprecedented heights, claiming that only whites can be racists. And while justifying violence to achieve "social justice," the movement's goal is to overthrow our society to replace it with a Marxist one. Many members of the black community would be shocked to learn that the intellectual godfathers of this movement are mostly white Communists, "queers" and leftist Democrats, intent on making blacks into cannon fodder for the revolution.

Maimane's Absurd Claim to Victory over South African Ethno-Politics
by Gic Serry
Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane. The DA is the only major opposition party in South Africa.
Since the dawn of the liberal, multicultural democracy in South Africa in 1994, politics have been solidly controlled by the left, in line with the intention of the system's architects. Naturally, a political spectrum and Overton window shift has occurred in the country over the past twenty-two years, with a gradual yet decisive shift leftward marking the political discourse and, consequently, political party policies. The mainstream media and academia have increasingly advocated what is often termed "nonracial democratic values," as purportedly advocated by Nelson Mandela, a man regarded by liberal and Marxist-leaning South Africans as "the father of the nation."
Since 1994, however, the country has politically been solidly in the hands of Mandela's party, the African National Congress, which has always explicitly promoted what it considered to be black interests, and has consequently achieved the most electoral success. In all local and national elections between 1994 and 2014, the ANC consistently received between 58 and 68% of the national vote. With the most recent election held earlier this month, and hailed by many as historic, that changed. The ANC received a record-low 53.9% of the national vote, with the opposing Democratic Alliance receiving a record high 26.9%. In certain major cities the DA surprised the country by either barely beating or barely losing to the ANC, thereby blocking them from maintaining the absolute majorities it had had previously.
These successes incited the first black leader of the DA, Mmusi Maimane, to claim to have finally initiated that long-awaited era of "nonracial politics" following the historic successes of his party, in particular among middle class urban black voters. This claim is, of course, absurd given the fact that he was chosen as party leader for the exact purpose of appealing to that demographic group among which the party has achieved the least electoral success historically. Although his claim is therefore exactly in line with his party's ideology, it is diametrically opposed to their practical political strategies. The Democratic Alliance itself has always been a Jewish-run party. It traces its roots back to the anti-Afrikaner Progressive Party, whose founders and leadership were largely Jewish. However, in 2014 it decided to replace its female Jewish leader at the time, Helen Zille, with a black man, Maimane, to present a sympathetic public face (i.e. kinsman) to the country's majority-black electorate. Thus, not only Maimane's party's main strategic positions, but also his very appointment as leader, has been largely based in their practice of a form of ethno-politics. The DA have, for many years, been assured of gaining the overwhelming majority of the white vote in every election. Nonetheless, the demographic reality of South Africa necessitates an appeal to black voters in order to make significant inroads when election time comes around.
Apart from Maimane's claim being self-contradictory, it is also at odds with other realities that have become evident with this election. The ANC has traditionally been under the leadership of Xhosa aristocracy. Nelson Mandela himself was a Xhosa. Only recently has the party been largely overtaken by Zulu leadership, with the current leader, Jacob Zuma, being South Africa's fourth black yet first Zulu president. However, the first seven years of Zuma's presidency so far (since 2009) have proven to be a huge disappointment, not only if measured by Western standards, but for his own people as well. Yet, whereas Maimane's narrative would have it that disillusioned Zulu voters should now have voted for the liberal DA, instead they returned in droves to the more traditional and explicitly pro-Zulu party, the Inkatha Freedom Party, whose share in the national vote almost tripled since the previous election only two years ago.
The results of the major political parties in the most recent elections are as follows:
Thus we see that in practice, like the tendency is in Europe right now, the pressures which multiculturalism places on a people in terms of their national preservation tend to produce increased ethnic consciousness. This is clearly true in the case of the Zulu people as but one example among many. However, this is also done implicitly, yet openly, by cultural Marxists like the Democratic Alliance, so long as it is not done in the interest of white people.
Indeed, the only population group without a noteworthy return to ethno-politics in South Africa are white people. Around 90% of whites vote for the liberal, cultural Marxist DA with their new black leadership, whose rhetoric is looking increasingly like that of the ANC. This is directly or indirectly because whites have been conditioned to actively work against their own interests – both on a moral and practical level, whites see it as to the benefit of the whole country to surrender all for which their ancestors have worked and fought with incredible difficulty, to the unworkable and godless fantasies of multiculturalism.
The only logical conclusion, considering all the facts, is that Maimane means that white people as a group have nearly completely ceased to vote for their own interests. This makes him an active participant in the ongoing genocide of white people. The fact of the matter is that anti-racists like Maimane are in reality nothing short of anti-white.

Vodafone Egypt to invest $1.3 billion over three years
in IT & Telecom
Vodafone Egypt will invest around 9.5 billion Egyptian pounds ($1.3 billion) over the next three years to improve its network, its recently appointed chief executive said.
Vodafone Egypt, majority owned by British mobile operator Vodafone, will finance the plan from existing funds, Ahmed Essam told a news conference in Cairo.
Vodafone Egypt, which is also 45-percent owned by fixed-line telecoms firm Telecom Egypt, is the leading communications player by customer numbers in the country of 86 million.
Egypt is finalizing the details of a long-awaited unified license which will allow firms to offer both mobile and landline telecommunications.
To gain access to Telecom Egypt's fixed line network is expected to cost 100 million pounds.
Vodafone Egypt is still studying the possibility of offering landline services and has not reached a decision, Essam said.
Telecom Egypt has been given a one-year deadline to sell its stake in Vodafone Egypt once the unified license is activated.
Asked about the progress of the sale, Essam said it was a matter for the board of Vodafone Group and shareholders.
Essam was appointed as CEO this month.
Recently, the Egyptian Company for Mobile Services (Mobinil), announced that it had signed a LE815 million syndicated loan with four banks to finance a capital expansion and network improvements.

With a new Rory Gallagher compilation hitting the racks, a re-evaluation of Stone The Crows is probably long overdue.
They shared some connection with Gallagher, both were a phenomenon in the early seventies, and both partial to a bit of gutsy, funky and blues-based rock 'n' roll.
These albums complete the picture, as 'Ode To John Law' (1970) and 'Ontinuous Performance' (1972) have already had a much-needed release on River Records.
The eponymous debut (RIVERCD045 ****) opens with a blues belter featuring two of the best blues-rock vocalists this country has produced: Maggie Bell and Jim Dewar.
The joint approach on vocals (echoed by the band's contemporaries Robert Palmer and Elkie Brooks in Vinegar Joe) continues on 'Raining In Your Heart'. This track cracks along at a fiery pace with some super Les Harvey guitar and John McGinnis' keyboard interjections.
Two covers (a Josh White song 'Blind Man' and the Beatles' 'Fool On The Hill') give Maggie Bell the chance to stretch out with bluesy accompaniment from Harvey. 'I Saw America' filled one side of the original LP and features a number of blues rock to jazz themes with McGinnis' keys and Harvey's guitar to the fore. In places, they sound like The Doors at their moody best, with Harvey's input always tastefully economical, much like Robby Kreiger.
When you consider that Stone The Crows also had Colin Allen on drums (ex-John Mayall, later with Focus) this was a veritable 'supergroup' at the time. The band were a major draw on the live circuit in the UK but never achieved wider success.
1971's 'Teenage Licks' (RIVERCD046 ***) was voted one of that year's best albums by several music papers and also consolidated Maggie Bell's status as one of the best female rock vocalists.
Ronnie Leahy replaced McGinnis on keyboards whilst Steve Thompson came in for the departed Dewar. Essentially this was a different band, but the funky blues rock continued.
If anything, there was a touch more rock 'n' roll on this album, and in places it has the feel of The Faces with a female vocalist.
'Mr Wizard' and 'One Five Eight' shows their ability to produce punchy riff-driven tunes within a five to six minute time frame whilst 'Seven Lakes' veers towards jazzy prog with more than a nod to Traffic.
These two albums are straight reissues of the originals, and it's a pity they couldn't have been bolstered with some bonus material or outtakes. This is, though, a minor gripe. These reissues will be a welcome replacement for dusty vinyl.

He was still shocked when he got his in early May. The rent for his one-bedroom place was going to be twice as high.
"They essentially said in polite language: Pay the $1,185 or we're going to kick you out," said Ticker.
He began to panic. As a 72-year-old retiree, living on a fixed income, there was no way he could afford the price hike. Not without draining his savings account. And even that wouldn't get him far.
He started working the phones, hoping to find someone who could quiet his fears of becoming homeless.
"And in June, I finally got somebody from the SeniorLAW Center," Ticker said.
An attorney with the legal aid group got the owners to the negotiation table thanks to Philadelphia's mandatory Eviction Diversion Program. Under an agreement brokered over email, Ticker was able to remain in the apartment he's called home for nearly a decade — at the same price he's paid for years.
Ticker credits the free initiative with keeping a roof over his head, at least for now. His lease runs out at the end of April.
"I'm hopeful we can work something out at the very least," he said. "But of course, my attorney may have other ideas, better ideas."
Established by city ordinance, the pandemic-inspired program is guided by one goal: To settle disagreements between landlords and tenants outside of court and without an eviction filing, which can make it harder for tenants to secure safe and affordable housing in the future, even if a judge rules in their favor.
At first, the acclaimed program dealt exclusively with disputes over back rent. Many of those cases were resolved with the help of state and federal dollars dispersed through a rental assistance program the city operated. The latest iteration of the diversion program requires landlords and tenants to spend 30 days trying to settle any rental disagreement, including ones involving property damage.
Ticker is one of at least 7,000 tenants who have been able to stay in their homes thanks to direct negotiations between parties, one of two pathways supported by the program.
Another 3,000 landlord-tenant pairs participated in mediation sessions facilitated by a neutral party. Nearly 80% of those disputes were resolved with an agreement outside of court, according to the city.
Some after a landlord agreed to extend a deadline or be paid in a series of installments. Others after a tenant agreed to move out — what the program refers to as a "graceful exit."
Nancy Giacomini, the mediation manager for the Eviction Diversion Program, said most of the agreements reached through mediation come after a single one-hour session, usually because neither party really wants to go to court, which can be a time-consuming and expensive process.
"Part of the reason I think the diversion program works is because we've given tenants, and landlords, and property managers, and agents an option that's not the most escalated process to resolve something," Giacomini said.
More often than not, the conversations are civil, containing more empathy than rancor, she said.
"I've had many tenants say back to a landlord that they know, 'I'm really sorry. I desperately want to make this work and pay you. I really don't want to leave and I don't know how to make it happen.' And on the other side, I've had landlords cry in that space because they just hate to be in this predicament that they don't know how to get out of."
"It's a business relationship that can also be quite personal," she added.
Philly's eviction diversion program poised for 18-month extension
The acclaimed program was slated to expire at the end of the year. It is now poised to operate through the first half of 2024.
Shayln Martin's praise for the program has more to do with the first part of that sentiment. She handles eviction cases for landlords. Most arise after a tenant has stopped paying rent and her client wants to remove them.
In the past, Martin's work usually ended with an appearance at landlord-tenant court, a tedious and often drawn-out process that can take up to six months to complete. Now she's attending mediation sessions on her clients' behalf.
So far, none of those cases have ended up before a judge. And Martin said all of them have wrapped up in roughly two months.
"Yes, it does put another 30 days onto the process if you look at it that way. But if you use it to your advantage, then it definitely works," Martin said.
The program does have its critics.
Greg Wertman leads HAPCO Philadelphia, the city's largest advocacy group for landlords and property managers. His big complaint is that the diversion program lacks teeth, particularly when it comes to financial agreements to repay back rent.
In landlord-tenant court, there's a judge to enforce the agreement. The diversion program doesn't have a similar enforcement mechanism.
"Okay, so here we are, we negotiated this thing, we lost 30 to 45 days, we come up with an agreement. Tenant reneges on the agreement. You're back to square one," Wertman said.
Eretz, a small landlord in Philadelphia, shared a similar complaint. WHYY News has agreed to withhold his last name due to privacy concerns.
Eretz said program staffers were perfectly pleasant, but couldn't offer him much help. His longtime tenant no longer owed any back rent by the time the two participated in their first mediation session, but she also doesn't have a reliable source of income to cover rent going forward. This after her father, who lived with her and her family, recently died.
She was getting paid to care for him at home. Her father also had a city pension that went toward the rent at the four-bedroom home he shared with his daughter's family in Northeast Philadelphia.
Eretz said he feels for his tenant, who is dealing with "major" health issues of her own, as well as a son who is facing murder charges. But he said he can't allow her to stay for another year if she can't cover the rent each month, especially now that his property taxes are higher.
"My agenda is not to kick somebody out. It's to get paid and to maintain a positive relationship," said Eretz, who helped her and other tenants apply for rental assistance during the pandemic.
The pair is scheduled to participate in a second mediation session next week. Eretz still hopes to avoid landlord-tenant court, but it's not clear that will happen.
It's part of the reason why HAPCO's Wertman said the latest version of the program should not be mandatory — because mediation doesn't work in every case.
"In other words, you have a tenant, he's driving all the tenants, your good tenants crazy, and you want to get rid of them. Their lease is up. Time to get rid of them. What am I going to diversion for? What am I wasting 30 to 45 more days of this person hassling my good tenants?"
Changes could be coming to the program, including the possibility that the current version of the program becomes voluntary. But for now, it remains in place as a free, but mandatory process.
In October, Philadelphia City Council passed legislation that extends the program through June 2024.
Council and Mayor Jim Kenney's administration have allocated a total of $45 million for the continuation of the diversion program, including $30 million for direct assistance during the fiscal year that ends June 30, 2023.

Giovanni Battista Grassi, född den 27 mars 1854 i Rovellasca, provinsen Como, död den 4 maj 1925 i Rom, var en italiensk zoolog.

Grassi blev 1883 professor i zoologi och jämförande anatomi i Catania, och 1895 över samma ämnen i Rom. Han utgav, förutom skrifter om termiter, pilmaskar, bandmaskars och insekters utveckling, praktiskt värdefulla arbeten över vinlusen. Mest känd är Grassi genom tillsammans med Salvatore Calandruccio utförda undersökningar över ålens förvandlingar och orsakerna till malarian. Efter resor i Italien 1898 lyckades Grassi i samarbete med Amico Bignami och Giuseppe Bastianelli huvudsak utreda malariaparasitens utveckling såväl i myggan Anopheles som i människans blod. År 1899 fick han med Guglielmo Marconi dela Turinakademiens första Vallauripris.

Microcontroller-Powered Prime Calculator is [Mostly] Complete!
In short, each row of LEDs displays a number. Each row of 30 LEDs allows me to represent numbers up to 2^31-1 (2,147,483,647, about 2.15 billion) in the binary numeral system. Since there's no known algorithm to generate prime numbers (especially the Nth prime), the only way to generate large Nth primes is to start small (2) and work up (to 2 billion) testing every number along the way for primeness. The number being tested is displayed on the middle row (Ntest). The last two digits of Ntest are shown on the top left. To test a number (Ntest) for primeness, it is divided by every number from 2 to the square root of Ntest. If any divisor divides evenly (with a remainder of zero) it's assumed not to be prime, and Ntest is incremented. If it can't be evenly divided by any number, it's assumed to be prime and loaded into the top row. In the photo (with the last prime found over 305 million) the device is generating new primes every ~10 seconds. Not bad! Let's discuss technical details.
I'd like to emphasize that this device is not so much technologically innovative as it is creative. I made it because no one's ever made one. It's not realistic, practical, or particularly useful. It's just unique. The brain behind it is an ATMEL ATMega8 AVR microcontroller (What is a microcontroller?), the big 28-pin microchip near the center of the board. (Note: I usually work with ATTiny2313 chips, but for this project I went with the ATMega8 in case I wanted to do analog-to-digital conversions. The fact that the ATMega8 is the heart of the Arduino is coincidental, as I'm not a fan of Arduino for purposes I won't go into here).
I'd like to thank my grandmother's brother and his wife (my great uncle and aunt I guess) for getting me interested in microcontrollers almost 10 years ago when they gave me BASIC Stamp kit (similar to this one) for Christmas. I didn't fully understand it or grasp its significance at the time, but every few years I broke it out and started working with it, until a few months ago when my working knowledge of circuitry let me plunge way into it. I quickly outgrew it and ventured into directly programming cheaper microcontrollers which were nearly disposable (at $2 a pop, compared to $70 for a BASIC stamp), but that stamp kit was instrumental in my transition from computer programming to microchip programming.
The microcontroller is currently running at 1 MHz, but can be clocked to run faster. The PC I'm writing this entry on is about 2,100 MHz (2.1 GHz) to put it in perspective. This microchip is on par with computers of the 70s that filled up entire rooms. I program it with the C language (a language designed in the 70s with those room-sized computers in mind, perfectly suited for these microchips) and load software onto it through the labeled wires two pictures up. The microcontroller uses my software to bit-bang data through a slew of daisy-chained shift registers (74hc595s, most of the 16-pin microchips), allowing me to control over 100 pin states (on/off) using only 3 pins of the microcontroller. There are also 2 4511-type CMOS chips which convert data from 4 pins (a binary number) into the appropriate signals to illuminate a 7-segment display. Add in a couple switches, buttons, and a speaker, and you're ready to go!
I'll post more pictures, videos, and the code behind this device when it's a little more polished. For now it's technically complete and functional, and I'm very pleased. I worked on it a little bit every day after work. From its conception on May 27th to completion July 5th (under a month and a half) I learned a heck of a lot, challenged my fine motor skills to complete an impressive and confusing soldering job, and had a lot of fun in the process.


You are overthinking infertility problem and the doctors are over complicating it. When you get down to the root of it, you only need to do one thing i.e restore your hormonal balance.
Everyone know this and everyone agree to this fact.
You are made of three components.
If the problem is not severe these three things are enough to restore your hormonal balance….
If you can't achieve hormonal balance doing these three things, you have to assume that your mind is messing with your body. In that case you can achieve hormonal balance only by controlling your mind. One way of doing this is by practicing meditation to calm your mind and letting your body to restore your hormonal balance… Here you are using your mind also to achieve your goal. So you need to do the following four things.
Even if you do all these four things if you are unable to restore hormonal imbalance you have to go to the next level i.e Energy. Here you are using your body, mind and the energy to achieve your goal. So you need to do the following five things.
Modern medicine is capable of influencing only to the level of body and it can't go beyond that. It can't even fully influence your body. It can't handle your mind and energy at all.
If you know and eat only the good diets, it will improve your health… Is it not a fact?
If you know how to calm your mind, it will improve your health… Is it not a fact?
If you know how to live joyfully, it will restore your health… Is it not a fact?
The five step hormone balance plan is not about practicing yoga poses. It is all about changing the lifestyle in sync with your menstrual cycle.


About a month ago, I saw this video on Business Insider. It's an interview with Sara Blakely, CEO of Spanx. She talked about when she was a child, her father would ask the children on the dinner table about how they have done today that they totally failed at. He practiced it to the point that all the children would fight to share about their most epic fail of the day.
This particular story stuck with me. Coming from the Chinese culture, children are always expected to do everything perfectly, or sometimes punishment awaits. The idea of celebrating failures is such an opposite from my upbringing, yet so luring.
After becoming a trailing spouse and an entrepreneur, I have learned to push myself to embrace failures. Looking back, I had a lot of objective capacity to take risks and absorb the consequences of failures. However, sometimes it took me longer to take action because the prospect of failing brought a lot of anxiety. In other words, the negative emotions associated with failing at something stopped me from trying.
I hope that one day I will be able to replace those negative feelings with exciting ones, like how those children were conditioned to think about failures as something to be proud of.

Candy Cummings, Donald Trump: Closer Than You Think
December 3, 2017 March 25, 2019 / Martin Goldberg
I first started to think about this piece during the primaries, in late 2015. Listening to a friend (Jim) rail away on the tragicomic nature of a Trump candidacy I couldn't help but try to find an upside to what was, admittedly, the odd combination of amusement and anxiety that the thought of a possible Trump presidency brought to both of us. Jim at least had a candidate he could root for in the guise of Bernie Sanders. For myself the entire enterprise was a wasteland. Gary Johnson had not yet emerged (brief hope) no less self destructed (yes Gary there are 196 other recognized countries on the map). The rest of the candidates left me with a range of feeling that spanned all the way from misery to nausea. That being the setting I started to think about whether there was any positive I could take away from the whole mess. It's at moments like this that my tendency to retain various arcana will occasionally work in my favor. The prospective election was already pulling people into conflicted camps with very little in the way of common ground between those with differing likely votes. There was however one thing that found a fair amount of consensus. Most people I had spoken to saw Donald Trump as a genuinely disruptive force. The more I thought of that, the more I thought of Candy Cummings.
Mr. Cummings was a 19th century baseball player, generally credited with being the inventor of the curveball. I know, I know, the connections are obvious but for the few of you who have no earthly idea of what Donald Trump and a man whose professional baseball career began in 1870 might have in common, let me do my best to lay it out. When Cummings first began throwing the curveball the idea that a man could make a pitch change direction in midair was considered a scientific impossibility. But there it was. What started as heresy became a standard part of a pitcher's arsenal. Eventually other breaking pitches ( slider, screwball) developed and few, if any men could hope to make a living throwing a baseball without also being able to make it change plane or position on its way to the batter. Cummings' own career was short (five years) though solid and his eventual enshrinement in the hall of fame was entirely a function of the pitch he is credited for having discovered/created. Close to 150 years later his imprint is still all over the game. He is no less a presence at a ballpark than Edison is in a movie theater. When his disruptive moment occurred he was seen as either a charlatan or a freak. If that impression had persisted the sport would have been different enough to be unrecognizable today, if it would have survived at all. It's difficult to imagine parting with hard earned money to sit through what might only be a slightly elevated version of beer league arc-ball. How fortunate then that baseball let go of its suspicions and adapted a specific idea which completely altered the dynamics of the game. Cummings is largely forgotten now, a fact which is at once sad and hopeful. Regardless of his own anonymity the changes he brought to the sport are now completely inculcated within the game.
So here's the Trump part of it. The chaos he brings with him is scary and entertaining by turns. By now everybody has their own greatest hits list; no point in going over it. Understandably, the vast majority of the conversation his behavior has generated has focused on its intrinsic histrionic quality, how poorly it reflects on Republicans in general, or what machinations the Democrat party needs to engage in to regain their political footing. Perhaps there's something else we can get out of this, regardless of our partisan leanings. We could demand that our ruling class be more responsive to those they don't necessarily see eye to eye with. We could demand that our saviors have more to offer than " I hate every one you hate" as a rhetorical thrust. We could try and wean ourselves away from the seductive nature of personality cult leadership in general. Or we can push for a fundamental change that offers us the possibility of turning this remarkably disruptive moment in electoral history into a future where our basic mode of voting activity is so different from where we are at now that everything that follows will change as well.
This is not about to turn into a diatribe concerning the electoral college. What I'm thinking of is more closely related to what seems to be the real issue here; the primaries. As much as many people seem to resent the concept and or system of electoral votes our greatest danger now is that the primary process has become more and more driven by fringier elements of the voting public. The reason for this is the structure of the event. The idea that a country that selects it leader by having everyone vote at the same time would think it a great idea to choose the candidates for that contest in a sequential series of votes on a state by state basis seems a little bit odd to me. That's a procedural issue. A larger problem is that the primaries, regardless of how they are structured, are at this time a rolling circus of unbounded pluralistic mud fights. Under those circumstances someone with a narrow but deep appeal can end up winning with larger and larger minorities of the vote until their ascendance is a fait acompli. You can probably supply your own example here. President Trump saw that hole and paraded through it without breaking a sweat. No one had ever seen anything quite like it before, which strikes me as a defining element of a true disruption. What made this instance unique is that we were not being exposed to a radical new idea which we could all better our lives by adopting, but rather a novel exploitation of dangerous fault in an institution meant to enhance our citizenship. It doesn't have to be that way. We can shorten the initial campaign period. We can vote simultaneously just as we do in the general election. More to the point we can, at least for the primaries, put an end to the winner take all slugfest this has become. If we voted in even as little as two rounds with the top three candidates advancing after round one the remaining hopefuls would most likely have to demonstrate some rudimentary skills in negotiation and consensus gathering in order to gain the nomination. Better candidates would have to yield better results. It's up to us.
Candy Cummings invented the curveball. Donald Trump threw us all one. Major League Baseball made the most of their disruption, let's not blow ours.

You still do not understand why he won and your response is that we should change the rules. This is yet more hubris.
Your consideration could be better applied to the fundamentally flawed Democratic primary process. Which could not possibly be more undemocratic.
The Republican primary process worked fine despite your unhappiness with the results and you squandered a really nice metaphor on it.
Hi Painhandle. Thanks for taking the time to write. There are other posts on this site that are more oriented to some of the reasons that I think are a part of the president's successful campaign. This piece isn't about that. The primary process is the same for all parties involved. The Democrats engaged in a way that bordered on the criminal but that's a function of execution, not system. The Republican primary did work. That's the point. It strikes me, as an originalist, that considering the pains the founders went to create an election that would a specific kind of majority to reach a conclusion having a preliminary selection that could be decided with an unconstrained plurality was not intended.

Washington Post Shutting Down Gaming Section Amid Wider Layoffs
Jeff Bezos warns the working class that the economy needs a few more human sacrifices.
The Washington Post imposed more layoffs on Tuesday just a week after owner Jeff Bezos visited its Washington D.C. office. Among the ritual sacrifices will be Launcher, the newspaper's burgeoning gaming section, which routinely broke important news stories, landed big interviews, and asked the tough questions.
Launcher had only just turned three years old last fall and was one of the few attempts by a mainstream media outlet to tackle the unwieldy world of video games in a way that wasn't condescending or misinformed. Kotaku understands that some of its team will be reassigned to other parts of The Washington Post while the others will be laid off.

Fifty positions are reportedly being eliminated overall, including 30 vacancies that will go unfilled and 20 staff who will no longer have jobs. "We are also eliminating currently filled positions we concluded are not essential to serving our competitive needs," executive editor Sally Buzbee wrote in a memo to staff at the same time that new hires within the company were still being announced.
Bezos, who is worth over $100 billion, bought The Washington Post back in 2013 for just $250 million. His yacht is rumored to cost twice as much. Despite a boom in paid subscribers during the chaos-filled Trump years, managers at the paper have reportedly been in disagreement over how to expand and grow in the years ahead. This prompted an in-person visit from Bezos last week where he maintained he was fully committed to the paper and just there to listen.
The closure of Launcher comes while companies across the rest of media shed jobs as the Federal Reserve attempts to manufacture a recession to appease Wall Street investors. Games media has been hit especially hard, with recent layoffs at IGN, Game Informer, Fanbyte, GameSpot, Giant Bomb, and more. The video game industry, meanwhile, is projected by some analysts to grow to $300 billion before the end of the decade.
The Washington Post did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Q: prove $ E $ is measurable Let $ (X,S,\mu)$ be a measure space and let $μ^∗$ be the outer measure generated by $μ$. prove $\mu(A)=\mu^*(A\cap E)+\mu^*(A\cap E^C)$ holds for all $A\in S$ with $\mu(A)<\infty$. that is $E$ is measurable with respect to $\mu^*$. thanks

A: I guess this is a quick answer
$\mu^*(A \cap E) + \mu^*(A \cap E^C) = \mu^*(A \cap (E \cup E^C)) = \mu^*(A \cap X) = \mu^*(A) = \mu(A)$.

Charter Communications centralizes records management and makes compliance transparent to users with Colligo and SharePoint
Charter Communications is a telecommunications company that provides cable television, high-speed Internet, and telephone services to over 27.6 million customers across America. Charter is a Fortune 500 company and the fourth-largest cable operator in the United States, behind Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Cox Communications and is the tenth largest phone provider in the nation.
Simplified information management with a high rate of user acceptance.
Ensured compliance with corporate information retention policies
Minimized costs and maximized return on investment

Business Challenge
Charter employees stored information in disparate locations that included network file shares, Microsoft Exchange PST files, local hard disk drives, departmental document management systems, as well as Microsoft SharePoint sites. Charter provides thorough training to its employees to ensure that messages and documents are stored according to corporate policies, but with so many disparate systems in use, the compliance process was complicated.
"None of our document management systems automated our retention activities," explains Dan Vasey, Director of Records and Information Management at Charter Communications. For instance, to designate an email message as an official record, a user had to save the email in the MSG file format to a file share. "It was incumbent upon each user to later identify documents that had met their retention criteria and were eligible for destruction." The save-as-MSG process also altered each message's descriptive metadata, such as time and date stamp or sender name. "The loss of metadata made it challenging for employees to search for and quickly find what they were looking for later," says Vasey.
Furthermore, Charter requires that employees store company files on shared network drives, and not on the hard disk drives of their personal computers or mobile devices. "This can be frustrating for our remote workers," says Vasey. "The process to check documents in and out was tedious, so some employees resorted to using email as a repository." The reliance on email for storing and sending documents, and the proliferation of network shares, resulted in a high number of duplicate files on the Charter corporate network—approximately 21 terabytes of data, total. "We consumed a lot of storage and it can be difficult to find information in this large, unstructured environment."
Charter wanted to simplify compliance processes and make it easier for users to work with and share documents outside of the corporate network, but, like many companies, it also wanted to reduce the impact of introducing a new technology or business process to its employees. Charter wanted to minimize the learning curve, to ensure 100 percent user acceptance. That required implementing the capabilities they needed within the same, familiar environment to which their users were accustomed.

Charter evaluated a range of enterprise content management systems. It also considered applying an external layer of records and information management capabilities to the document management systems in use. "But the amount of development and work required was cost prohibitive," says Vasey. "We wanted to take advantage of our existing investment in SharePoint system and we determined that it was a viable solution to meet our enterprise content management needs," says Vasey.
Charter was attracted by SharePoint's in-place records management features and flexible retention schedules. Charter also evaluated software from Colligo because it allowed users to move email messages and documents into SharePoint sites seamlessly. "We felt that the familiar, easy-to-use tools that SharePoint and Colligo provided would be readily accepted by users," says Vasey.
Charter conducted a proof-of-concept implementation using SharePoint and Colligo. Approximately 30 Charter users experimented with the solution, using it to designate email messages as official records and store them in SharePoint, and to manage documents in SharePoint document libraries from Outlook or their desktop folders. "We had very positive feedback," says Vasey.
In the new environment, Charter employees use Colligo drag-and-drop functionality to move email messages or attachments (such as Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, or PDFs) into a SharePoint repository, directly from Outlook. Using the Colligo software, employees also migrate files from network file shares to SharePoint. Users feel as though they are simply moving files among folders in Windows Explorer, though they are actually moving files from network file shares to SharePoint sites. The Colligo Windows app exposes SharePoint in a desktop window. From a user perspective, this requires little training or adjustment.
As a user moves an item to a SharePoint site, the Colligo software automatically extracts descriptive metadata and transfers it along with the item. The software also enables users to easily add additional metadata to the file or email message. Charter takes advantage of SharePoint content types and managed metadata to automatically apply the proper retention policies to an item. For instance, if a user applies the content type "contract" to a document, the document is classified and stored as an official record, with retention policies that determine how long the document will be held. "SharePoint content types and the Colligo metadata capabilities make records management compliance transparent to users," says Vasey.
SharePoint managed metadata capabilities also help users find information. For instance, Charter can centrally define taxonomies in SharePoint for its enterprise content, and easily manage and apply tags to documents, to ensure consistent use of terminology and better search results. Charter employees can then search from within Outlook because Colligo integrates with SharePoint Search, enabling users to quickly locate email messages, documents and information.
The Colligo solution supports local caching, which means that users can easily work with SharePoint-based documents and information, regardless of their network connectivity. "Our users really value this feature, especially for those documents that don't require a version-controlled environment," says Vasey. With offline access to SharePoint sites, employees can open a document from within Outlook, edit the document, and synchronize it back to the SharePoint site once reconnected. Colligo caching capabilities also enable remote users to manage email messages form smartphones and other mobile devices.

The AD8215 is an excellent IC, and is remarkably accurate, but it does have an offset of 33mv. This means that the first 7 counts are void. Basically, the IC can't measure the first 500ma. Not a problem for this setup!


In a tense interview with the CNN host, the besieged White House press secretary apologized repeatedly for saying Hitler never used chemical weapons.
A pained-looking Sean Spicer faced off with a disgusted Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday evening in a tense exchange that did not leave the White House press secretary in better shape following his outrageous claim earlier in the day that Adolf Hitler "didn't even sink to using chemical weapons" in World War II.
First, Blitzer just wanted to know why Spicer decided to make an analogy between Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and the perpetrator of the Holocaust in the first place. "As you know, 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, many of them with poison gas," the CNN anchor reminded his guest.
Spicer said he was apologizing not only to Holocaust survivors and their descendants, but "anyone offended" by his comments. He tried to pivot away from those comments and instead focus on President Trump's action in Syria, but Blitzer wasn't having it.
"Did you not know, Sean, that there were gas chambers where the Nazis brought Jews and others?" Blitzer asked.
He was aware, Spicer insisted, before saying that he does not want to be a "distraction from the president's decisive action in Syria and attempts he is making to destabilize the region and root out ISIS out of Syria." Blitzer declined to question why the Trump administration would want to "destabilize the region," a comment that could be chalked up to another incidence of misspeaking by Spicer, had he not used the same exact wording during Monday's briefing.
While Blitzer agreed to move on to a broader discussion of Syria, he was not done embarrassing Spicer, who once again had some trouble getting the name of the Syrian leader right. "Bashar al-Assad, I know you mispronounced his name a few times, but it is Bashar al-Assad," Blitzer said as Spicer smiled tightly.


'Hey Alex, Can We Start A Neighborhood Repair And Design Shop?'~Raheem + Tyree.
One would think that this question, coming just two weeks into launching our beta version of TinyWPA, would send me over the moon. Shoot, after just two weeks, a motley crop of uninitiated #teendesignheroes in Philly 'got it' and wanted more. And they didn't just want MORE, they were looking to initiate their own projects with their community to make the neighborhood better.
To be sure, I was pleased as punch but believe it or not, this hasn't been the best thing about launching TinyWPA.
That moment came late in the afternoon, five days earlier, when Raheem, John, Thuy, and I were working diligently on the team's benches (pictured above). Carefully chiseling notches, gluing the supporting struts, and designing as we went, a shared joyful intent of purpose descended over the group. For the first time, playful 'smack talk'–a true sign of trust, mutual appreciation, and comfort–appeared. The value of this 'smack talk' when designing and building with teenagers cannot be understated. When this form of 'play' starts to appear, it typically means that the young adults not only feel a degree of general 'safety' with us (an important foundation for great things happening) but it translates into a larger confidence within the participatory design process to challenge our ideas and toss out their own. It represents a turning point. Indeed, for the first time we were a team–co-learning, designing, and building–and we were better individually and as a whole because of each person who was there. This is one key 'snapshot' of my vision not just for TinyWPA but also the future of learning and civic innovation.
To be frank, I didn't expect this moment to come so soon and that afternoon I nearly had to step away from the building area and pinch myself to believe it was truly happening.
One of the most undervalued components of accomplishing fantastic things–and a cornerstone of growing TinyWPA and ensuring that it has great impact–is taking the time to build a culture of greatness. Cultures of greatness don't come easily. One one hand they require a funder, city, or service provider to take the long view for impact–understanding the value of starting small and the tactic of eventually leveraging the talented team members that you take the time to grow and their successes to reach a much larger audience than you would be able to otherwise. Furthermore, developing a culture of greatness requires a distinct physical and/or mental space in which people believe they can accomplish things that others think are impossible; where there is a degree of social pressure and responsibility to one another that pushes everyone to do their very best; and a place in which people feel safe enough to 'fail'.
That 'pinch me' moment with Raheem, Thuy, and John was the beginning of TinyWPA's culture of greatness and it shouldn't have come so early because initially–given the constraints we were working with–the aforementioned pieces for creating one simply weren't there. But there it was, a snapshot of the future of our work in Philadelphia (and other places too if TinyWPA expands to other cities and we create a movement, as I would like).
Then again, a lot of things surrounding the development of TinyWPA this summer have been surprising. Despite actually having little time to share the work, the response from potential collaborators, funders, and people I don't even know has been incredible. People just seem to 'get it' and immediately recognize the potential on so many levels.
This fall we are excited to work with the Mayor's Office of New Urban Mechanics, our collaborators at the Department of Making + Doing, and others to develop the program and pursue funding to support a more comprehensive initiative. A proto-TinyWPA program in Chicago that we are creating for a client is going gangbusters and we are heading to Flint, MI in late October to do a micro-TinyWPA project with teens. Locally, Drexel University's Office of University and Community Partnerships, the North 5th Revitalization Project, and community organizations surround Benson Park have all committed to doing TinyWPA projects in the coming year.
Perhaps most importantly, we are going to be working with the Village For Arts And Humanities to realize Tyree and Raheem's desire to create a neighborhood repair and design shop , and launch a micro-enterprise around producing the benches pictured above. This is going to be a tremendous mechanism for growing our team and the culture of greatness around TinyWPA that will allow us to do amazing things, and ultimately make Philadelphia the national model for how we engage young adults in the design of their cities.
And while there are a lot of challenges ahead, this all means that pretty soon I will get to have 'pinch me' moments everyday and that makes smile more than you can possibly imagine.
Currently we are wrapping up the designing and building of phase one our main project, a market canopy for Philly Earth and community members who would like to sell things. We will be having an opening and celebration in late September. You should come!

Ohio Democratic governor candidates differ on key issues
Marty Schladen The Columbus Dispatch @martyschladen
While the verbal sparks attracted the attention, several important policy differences emerged Wednesday as the Democratic gubernatorial candidates took swipes at each other on a Toledo debate stage.
It was the first official debate of the year, but the four contenders have been appearing together at forums around the state. And since they're all Democrats, it's not too surprising that they often say they agree with each other.
But not always. Some differences that came up Wednesday:
• Medicaid expansion — All of the candidates support Ohio's expansion of Medicaid, the federal-state health-care program for the poor, a part of Obamacare that was undertaken under term-limited Republican Gov. John Kasich. But they have different views about what needs to happen in the future.
Former Ohio Supreme Court Judge Bill O'Neill said the next step is to make Medicare, the federal health-care program for the elderly, available to any American who wants it. Former Cleveland Mayor and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich said he wrote legislation in Congress and he'd push a state bill in Ohio doing just that.
"The people of Ohio should never have to worry about prescription copays, deductibles or going broke because of health care bills," Kucinich said.
Former U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray said Medicare-for-all sounds good, but he questioned whether the money could be found to finance it. He said the first job should be protecting the Medicaid expansion that's already in place.
"The (Republican-controlled) legislature is spoiling to take that away from Ohio and (Lt. Gov. and Republican gubernatorial candidate) Mary Taylor is behind them," Cordray said. Attorney General and Republican candidate "Mike DeWine is tongue-tied on that issue. He will not say that he supports the Medicaid expansion because he's afraid of his right wing in the primary."
Ohio Sen. Joe Schiavoni, D-Boardman, said reimbursements to caregivers must be increased if the program is to be effective.
"Just because you're giving somebody a piece of paper saying that you have Medicaid doesn't mean anything unless the doctor's office takes it and the dentist takes it and the physical therapy after surgery takes it and home health care takes it," he said.
• Hydraulic fracturing — Also known as "fracking" it's opened up portions of eastern Ohio to extract oil and natural gas. Many experts believe the latter substance is a relatively clean "bridge" fuel that can be used while viable alternatives are developed. However, the method has its drawbacks, including the potential for severe air and water pollution.
Kucinich has proposed banning the practice in Ohio, period.
"There are families in the southeastern part of the state who are sacrificing their land, clean water, the health of their children and the value of their property that the frackers have taken over," he said, adding that many of those doing the work have come from out of state.
Schiavoni said, however, that some people in his job-strapped northeastern Ohio community are making $100,000 a year driving trucks to service fracking sites.
Cordray went further, citing the future of the Democratic Party.
"Dennis has said he would ban all oil and gas production in Ohio," he said. "That is an extreme position that will lose us eastern Ohio for a generation and dismisses the fact that there are many small landholders there with an oil or gas well on their property (that) is their sole means of livelihood."
O'Neill said fracking not only provides jobs, it also decreases dependence on coal and foreign oil.
• Gun control — Guns are back in the news, with 17 being killed in yet another school shooting, this time in Parkland, Florida. The Democrats set forth differing ideas for keeping it from happening yet again.
Kucinich is proposing a statewide ban on semi-automatic guns dubbed by some as assault weapons, such as the AR-15 used in the Florida school massacre. O'Neill, on the other hand, proposes a step short of an outright ban.
"I'm proposing that any AR-15 in Ohio will be required to have a permit issued by your local chief of police," he said. "My local chief of police (in Chagrin Falls) told me he had no idea how many AR-15s there are in a small town of 4,000 people."
Schiavoni said he supports requiring criminal background checks for sales at gun shows and he wants to discuss a possible national ban on assault weapons. And he wants to harden security at schools.
"The Second Amendment is vitally important, but so is the safety of our kids," Schiavoni said. "I have two little boys and when you drop them off at preschool you get that sick feeling in your stomach: What if something happens?"
For his part, Cordray has been taking heat for his refusal to repudiate the National Rifle Association. He didn't specify any measures he'd take, but he said he supported reasonable regulation.
"Everybody on this stage has recognized that in the wake of the shootings at Parkland we have to tighten our gun laws," Cordray said. "We have to tighten our gun laws to keep them out of the hands of criminals, domestic abusers and the mentally ill."

MORE than 150 British children have been part of family court cases involving radicalisation fears, a report has found.
Many of those that came before the courts in the past five years had extremist relatives - with home schooling blamed as a potential problem.
It comes as Shamima Begum was stripped of her British citizenship after fleeing Bethnal Green to join ISIS as a 15-year-old schoolgirl.
The study by the Henry Jackson Society, a think-tank, found judges have been inconsistent with how they deal with children at risk of radicalisation.
Some were put under travel restrictions, others made a ward of the court or put in the care of family members, but some ended with no action despite concerns raised.
With more than half the cases families had at least one member who had joined ISIS, while others had been influenced by Al Muhajiroun - the banned terror group previously lead by Anjem Choudary.
Children who had been home-schooled made up 38 per cent of the cases, indicating keeping kids from mainstream education made radicalisation easier.
One High Court battle found a woman who returned from Syria in 2017 was told she posed a serious threat to her daughter and found "too dangerous" to parent her.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, fled the Caliphate in 2017 - on arrival back in the UK she was immediately arrested on suspicion of terrorist offences.
But weeks later she was told the case against her had been dropped.
And another court case saw a judge discontinue the wardship of kids whose mum was stopped on the Syrian border carrying ISIS flags and extremist material.
The Independent reports the judge found the "burden of proof [that she was trying to get to ISIS] was not met".
Last night ISIS bride Shamima was stripped of her British citizenship after showing no remorse for joining the terror group.
An official Home Office letter breaking the shock news was delivered to Begum's"disappointed" family earlier today.
It's not yet known how the ban will affect her newborn son Jerah - who is half British and half Dutch.
Author of the new study published today, Nikita Malik, director of the Centre on Radicalisation and Terrorism, said: "These are British families, they remain in the UK, and they set a precedent for what we could do with returnees.
She concluded Shamima would be likely to see her son removed from her care if she returned to the UK, with her being forced to undertake a de-radicalisation program and be placed under constant surveillance.
