Home » Health News » How Cuban medical training has helped Pacific nations face the pandemic challenge
How Cuban medical training has helped Pacific nations face the pandemic challenge
With the COVID-19 pandemic stretching health systems worldwide, Pacific countries have capitalized on their relative isolation to avoid the worst. Border closures and other measures have slowed and stopped the spread of the virus to the point some nations have recorded no cases at all.
Even where the virus has not spread, however, establishing screening, quarantine and mass vaccination programs has stretched already limited health systems. Where community transmission has occurred, as in Fiji and Papua New Guinea, it has severely tested national health systems.
The good news is that these small nations have been more resilient than they might otherwise have been due to a dramatic increase in the number of doctors employed in the Pacific in the past decade.
In some countries this has seen a doubling or more of doctor numbers. For example, from 2012 to 2019, the number of doctors in Kiribati increased from 18 to 51. Remarkable increases have also been recorded in the Solomon Islands (79 to 170), Tonga (44 to 80), Vanuatu (27 to 67) and Tuvalu (7 to 27).
Where these doctors come from may surprise you. Most are new graduates of the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) in Cuba. Over the past decade, more than 250 Pacific students have traveled to Cuba, learned Spanish, and completed six years of medical training on full scholarships from the Cuban government.
Solidarity and compassion
Cuba has a long history of international medical cooperation and Cuban doctors have served in over 150 countries. In the Pacific, approximately 50 Cuban doctors have served in Nauru, Kiribati and Vanuatu since 2006.
But Cuba has also recognized that having foreign doctors staff health systems indefinitely is unsustainable, and that "the ideal provider is a well trained, homegrown health professional."
The purpose of ELAM is therefore to train students from lower income and medically under-resourced communities who will go on to serve their countries. Training doctors is an act of solidarity and compassion built on Cuba's commitment to health as a human right.
While the program began long before the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on health system resilience and crisis response has been crucial. Without skilled professionals as a first line of defense, there can be no effective health security or pandemic response.
Cuban medicine and medical training also emphasizes prevention, public health and community care. It's a model designed for low-resource environments, well matched to the needs of the Pacific. As one Cuban-trained graduate in Tuvalu said:
"Cuban-trained doctors have a sense for preventive medicine […] I think our best contribution in the health services would be to apply what we learned in Cuba and to adapt it to our health system in Tuvalu.
"As a result of this pandemic our resources have become even more limited than before. So, prevention and good health promotion would be the main goals to achieve to limit the use of already scarce resources."
Problems persist
At the same time, the return of these graduates and their integration into local practice hasn't always been smooth. Their initial integration has been threatened by a lack of places in medical internship programs in the region. These had to be rapidly created or upscaled in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Kiribati.
While they demonstrated good basic medical knowledge and strong foundations in preventative health, many Cuban graduates did poorly on their entry exams for internship training.
In particular, they struggled with basic procedures and also with medical English, having studied in Spanish.
Partly, though, problems have been the result of differences between Cuban and Pacific health systems and needs. Many diseases prevalent in the Pacific have been eradicated in Cuba, which also has a much higher doctor to population ratio and therefore more defined professional roles within the health sector. As a medical trainer noted: "The Cuban-trained interns said that in Cuba you would never take your own blood samples […] You wouldn't interpret the X-rays. You'd have lots of other people to do that for you. So they'd never learn any of those skills. But they were keen to. They were so keen to learn."
Sustaining front line workers
Bridging courses and successful intern training have addressed these differences. Concerns have eased as graduates have moved into jobs, with some also undertaking post-graduate training in Fiji, New Zealand and elsewhere.
Cuba's direct Pacific contribution has slowed due to the pandemic and changes in regional governments, with only one Cuban doctor still in the region (in Kiribati).
But a virtual meeting last year between Cuban experts and representatives from seven Pacific countries did address regional responses to the pandemic. Cuba has also offered post-pandemic support to Nauru and Palau, and remains open to cooperation with other Pacific countries.

Q: Flink: posting messages to an external API: custom sink or lambda function We are developing a pipeline in apache flink (datastream API) that needs to sends its messages to an external system using API calls. Sometimes such an API call will fail, in this case our message needs some extra treatment (and/or a retry).
We had a few options for doing this:

*

*We map() our stream through a function that does the API call and get the result of the API call returned, so we can act upon failures subsequently (this was my original idea, and why i did this: flink scala map with dead letter queue)

*We write a custom sink function that does the same.
However, both options have problems i think:

*

*With the map() approach i won't be able to get exactly once (or at most once which would also be fine) semantics since flink is free to re-execute pieces of pipelines after recovering from a crash in order to get the state up to date.

*With the custom sink approach i can't get a stream of failed API calls for further processing: a sink is a dead end from the flink APPs point of view.
Is there a better solution for this problem ?

A: The async i/o operator is designed for this scenario. It's a better starting point than a map.
There's also been recent work done to develop a generic async sink, see FLIP-171. This has been merged into master and will be released as part of Flink 1.15.
One of those should be your best way forward. Whatever you do, don't do blocking i/o in your user functions. That causes backpressure and often leads to performance problems and checkpoint failures.

Android powered Nokia X2 reported to get launched later this month
Android based Nokia X lineup of smartphones were announced at the Mobile World Congress 2014 held in February and so soon Microsoft appears to be geared up in launching the next generation model. According to BGR India, the second generation smartphone – Nokia X2 will be unleashed in the last week of June, way too early than expected.
The report has revealed the shipment manifest of the handset bearing the codename RM-1013 and claims that the units have reached India for testing purposes.
In an earlier report, BGR India stated that the Nokia X2 will be the first smartphone in the lineup to flaunt a dedicated home button. The firm received rave reviews for not having a home button on the Nokia X that has only a back button. However, a long press on the back button was enough to go to the home screen.
Also, the lack of a regular swipe down notification bar as in the other Android smartphones made it crucial to check the notifications. Every time, users of the Nokia X lineup of phones will have to go to the home screen and access the Fastlane interface by swiping sideward. Apparently, the inclusion of a dedicated home button will fix these issues and let the users access the home screen and notifications without much hassle.
As per the leaked benchmark listing, the Nokia X2 will arrive with a 4.3-inch WVGA display, 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, Adreno 305 GPU, 1GB RAM and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The smartphone is also said to come with an 5MP rear camera, 0.3MP (VGA) front facing camera and 4GB of internal storage.
Nokia Nokia X2 Reports


In my town right now, today is a foggy/rainy day. The skies are grey, the grass is wet, the air is humid, and the overall atmosphere is somewhat depressing. That doesn't mean your spirit should replicate what the weather has portrayed. For those of you out there who are just having a tough time and nothing seems to be going right for you, I want you to know that you're closer then you think. See, it's funny how life works depending on the path you take. It's a chain reaction, if you think negative, negativity will follow you where ever you go. If you think positive, you will start to see and feel a sense of increase in your life. You may not believe any truth behind my words, but I am a walking testimony, living positive has made a tremendous impact in my life.
I just want to press positivity into your heart and get you to realize that just because a situation isn't working one way, doesnt't mean it won't turn around for the better. I am a firm believer of everything happens for reason. Things don't just happen to happen, it happens because it means something. It's a sign, and it's something that you should always pay attention to. Now, this doesn't mean you shoulkd follow every sign you encounter, you have to know which way to go. It's like following driving directions, if your trying to get somewhere specific your going to follow the signs on the road and rely on them to get you there. You won't even pay attention to the signs that's going to lead you away from your destination. Apply that terminology to your thinking while gaining success in your life. If you want to be successful, follow the signs that will lead you there. Think positive and don't even look at the signs that will distract you and take your focus off where your're trying to go.
Today's lesson is follow your signs. Everything happens for a reason, but you have to teach yourself how to understand those signs. Don't quit on your dreams and your dreams will never quit on you. Remember, "Always Stay Positive."

July 6, 2019 by Nukewatch Leave a Comment
3rd US Delegation to Join German Peace Camp
Nukewatch Quarterly Summer 2019
A blockade of the main gate at Büchel June 2, had a mock B61-12.
Nukewatch and the German disarmament group Nonviolent Action to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, have organized a third delegation of US peace activists to the peace camp near Germany's Büchel Air Base. In 2017, 2018 and again this summer, US peace activists will join the camp's "International Week," July 8 to 16, when disarmament campaigners from around the world convene there to confront US and German nuclear war preparations, and demand the ouster of US nuclear weapons from Germany.
The nationwide German coalition "Büchel Is Everywhere! Nuclear Weapons-Free Now!"—a "campaign council" of 68 groups and organizations—has worked for years to rid Germany of the 20 remaining US nuclear weapons, known as B61s, still deployed at the base, located about three hours west of Frankfurt. The coalition, which this year welcomed Nukewatch as its first international member group, demands that the government permanently remove the US nuclear weapons, reject the replacement of the bombs with the planned B61-version 12, and ratify the new Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear weapons. At present, a classified "nuclear sharing" agreement allows the transfer of US nuclear weapons to Germany, where its Tornado fighter jet pilots threaten and train to drop the B61s if orders come from a US president.
CeeCee Anderson, from College Park, Georgia and representing the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, shown here marching near the base last July, will join the delegation to Germany for a second time this summer.
This summer's delegation includes Brian Terrell, of Maloy, Iowa, representing Voices for Creative Nonviolence; Col. Ann Wright (USAF Ret.) of Veterans For Peace, Hawaii; Cee'Cee' Anderson, from College Park, Georgia for Women's Action for New Directions and the watchdog group Alliance for Nuclear Accountability; Susan Crane from the Redwood City Calif. Catholic Worker; Andrew Lanier, Jr., from the San Jose, Calif. Catholic Worker; Ralph Hutchison, Kevin Collins & Cindy Collins, all from the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance in Knoxville, Tennessee; Richard Bishop from the Missoula Montana Catholic Worker; and Fred Galluccio from Physicians for Social Responsibility in Orange County, California.
Spring "Go-In" Action Sees 17 Nuclear Resisters Defy Air Base's New Fence
Seventeen peace activists acting in two groups conducted a "go-in" protest April 30th at the base, near the city of Cochem, Germany. The nonviolent action was part of a long-running series of civil protests against the deployment and threatened use of at least 20 US nuclear gravity bombs at the German base. Part of the group of 17 dug under the newly erected second perimeter fence and occupied the space between the two barriers. A second group clipped through both fences and were met inside by German military security personnel.
The April action was the first major civil resistance at the base since authorities, over the winter, constructed the additional 16-kilometer fence around the base. Two fences now enclose the hilltop airport and fighter jet runway, bunkers for the nuclear weapons and jets, base housing, grammar school, and assorted infrastructure facilities.
Most of the 17 activists had participated in previous go-in actions at the base, and all of them were released after being issued "stay away" orders warning them to keep 200 meters distant from the fence line for 24 hours.
This year has seen an increase in court actions taken against the frequent resisters who have occupied the base. Court letters demanding civil forfeitures have been mailed to two dozen of the 70 people who cut or climbed into the base last year. The letters, arriving just before a statute of limitations deadline, can and have been contested by the abolitionists, who are later told to appear for trial.
Over the years, several intrepid resisters have been jailed for short periods for refusing to pay court-ordered fines. The judicial authorities light hand in charging political protesters is in stark contrast to US courts that charge multiple felonies and impose long prison terms for practically identical actions.
Air Force Websites Confirm Open Secret: US Nuclear Weapons Deployed in Germany
US and German military officials never officially admit in public that US nuclear weapons are deployed at the Büchel Air Base. The policy of "neither confirming nor denying" the location of nuclear weapons is a general one common to all nuclear-armed branches of the military. However, the Büchel Air Base website says it is home to the US Air Force's 702nd Munitions Support Squadron or MUNSS. The website also declares that the 702nd is "responsible for ownership, custody, maintenance, and release of a protection level 1 stockpile…" (Emphasis added.)
A "protection level 1 stockpile" is air force jargon for a stash of nuclear weapons, as its own open source documents show. The Shaw Air Force Base Instruction 31-102 6, of Dec. 6, 2012, is an Air Force instruction manual available online that openly defines protection level 1 (PL 1). In instruction 4.7.1., it says, "Examples of PL 1 resources include nuclear weapons and … systems critical to the success of active nuclear missions…"[1]

What to do with leftover rice? Do what the Chinese do: Make fried rice.
You might think of fried rice as a greasy side dish. But growing up in a Chinese home, I always looked forward to my grandmother's fried rice. It was a complete one-dish meal with vegetables, protein and rice all on one plate.
Fried rice is also fast and easy to prepare. It's the perfect solution for leftovers. You need only two or three items.
Let's start with the meat. Fried rice is usually made with beef, chicken or seafood, but breakfast and lunch meats are great for fried rice too. The flavors of ham, sausage and bacon are ideal.
As for vegetables, leftover greens are a great addition. Fresh lettuce, spinach and carrots also work well. Have extra canned vegetables? Don't be afraid to throw them in. And don't forget the onions, those poor neglected guys that are sprouting greens because they've been sitting so long. Toss 'em in too.
Assembling fried rice is very easy. You probably have the sauces--soy sauce and oyster sauce--in the cupboard. Be as creative or as simple as you want. But please, don't let fried rice get a bad name.

This autumn, the GIMA Knowledge Exchange Programme will feature three one-day interactive workshops designed to build skills across management and sales platforms.
Created in association with Cedar Associates, leaders in business management courses, the three workshops are open to all sales and management personnel, and are designed to optimise working relationships via improved key account management and negotiation skills. This trio of workshops will help attendees to focus on the key aspects of their role, improving efficiencies, team morale and creating a wider sense of ownership through all aspects of their day-to-day operations.
The first workshop entitled 'Leading & Managing a Team' (20th September) will focus on the ways that managers can improve staff morale, understand the dynamics of the teams they work in, and finally analyse their strengths and weaknesses. Topics up for discussion will include delegation, leaderships styles, coaching staff and motivation to name but a few.
The second workshop (11th October) 'Negotiation Skills', will help attendees to understand the difference between traditional 'positional negotiation' and collaborative negotiation. The session will also offer top tips regarding the diverse ways that buyers and sales staff can develop their own negotiation aims and use strategies to achieve their goals, whilst also highlighting communication skills designed to gather information, explore ideas, and remain assertive in challenging situations.
The final workshop, 'Key Account Management' (22nd November) will look at ways that delegates can differentiate between 'Account Management' and 'Key or Strategic Account Management'. The workshop will encourage attendees to utilise a range of skills to maintain and develop relationships with customers to expand the revenue and worth of the accounts they manage, whilst also focussing on ways to retain and defend the accounts from competitors.
Each of the interactive workshops will take place at Horticulture House, Chilton, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 0RM. Open to both members and non-members, GIMA is urging interested parties to secure their place now as space is limited. Bookings can be made for individual workshops, or as a suite of three days.
Further information about GIMA Knowledge Exchange workshops can be found at www.gima.org.uk.

In this novel account of global citizenship, Luis Cabrera argues that all individuals have a global duty to contribute directly to human rights protections and to promote rights-enhancing political integration between states. The Practice of Global Citizenship blends careful moral argument with compelling narratives from field research among unauthorized immigrants, activists seeking to protect their rights, and the 'Minuteman' activists striving to keep them out. Immigrant-rights activists, especially those conducting humanitarian patrols for border-crossers stranded in the brutal Arizona desert, are shown as embodying aspects of global citizenship. Unauthorized immigrants themselves are shown to be enacting a form of global 'civil' disobedience, claiming the economic rights central to the emerging global normative charter while challenging the restrictive membership regimes that are the norm in the current global system. Cabrera also examines the European Union, seeing it as a crucial laboratory for studying the challenges inherent in expanding citizen membership.

Q: How does an assembly differ from a build? I know that to build means either to compile from source code or the artifact itself. But what is an assembly? I tried to search but could not find the difference.
E.g. in .NET, assemblies are EXE files but isn't that what I get when I build the app? Isn't it the build?
EDIT: I mean build as a noun (the result of the build process).

A: Take a look here What are .NET Assemblies?. The output of the build is your assembly, so if you had a class library within your project called MyClassLib, then you would get MyClassLib.DLL when you build your application.  So, the build process is what creates the assembly

A: If there were any standard I would accept for an authoritative definition of what a build is, it would be my own.  My reason for saying this is that I have a more comprehensive view than most people living, though there are a few in retirement in Florida to whom I might bow.
As usage commands the language, the usage and definition of a 'software build' has evolved over time:  Today, it would be referred to as 'the product,' or the result of a production process, or in the abstract sense, that process itself.  So originally it referred to either the construction process or the product of the final phase of production.  It was usually associated with a batch process (process in the sense of the instance of a module loaded into memory which has finite boundaries and is tracked by the operating system) or a job identification number.  For that reason, the number on the "build" was often requested, many times to associate it with a date in order to correlate it with corrective actions.  Sometimes the build was recorded in a sequential log entry in an authoritative journal along with a date and a brief description of the changes during that period.
I find it curious that this entry is tagged with both the keywords 'language-agnostic' and 'build.'  It is practically self-defining:  While an assembly or a compilation could only be those processes or the products therefrom, a build may require some initialisation data or context surrounding and or supporting the including compilations and becoming a part of the end product.
When one builds a house, the output is a house:  A software build may have some of the same characteristics; for some, an edifice without doors or windows is not a house but such a resulting structure can be called a build -- likewise the set of compilations producing the principal modules of the product can be called a build.
I would not expect to be a build to be a precise term:  Rather, it is the set of procedures and their results followed on one occasion to produce a particular product.  But it merits noting that a build may include modules from several compilations and indeed compilations from several different language -- and even some assembly.  Since the output or product can differ as a result, a part of that build may even be comprised of some procedural scripting and/or job control language as well as compiled or assembled components.
In short, a software build is the set of procedural elements involved in producing a certain product on a particular occasion and/or the resulting product itself, referred to for the purpose of identifying the contextual environment, issues addressed and costs involved in a job, order, task, package, directive or logged schedule in terms of all forms of resource required and expended.

Diversity is Not Weakness
Posted on February 27, 2018 By rachelmotley
This blog post was originally published in Entropy on February 27, 2017
I am not an avid protester, despite my history as a graduate from a proud hippie-college and my work with the National Organization for Women in my twenties. The t-shirt I was gifted for Christmas that proclaims "Introverts Unite … Separately, In Our Own Homes," better reflects my style of protest. Nonetheless, I was determined to be at the Women's March in Los Angeles to stand with other women against a most vilely sexist election that resulted in a self-proclaimed perpetrator of sexual assault and a racist in the White House. My anxiety about marching was evident in my procrastination in creating a poster. I researched what people put on signs and created a mental list throughout my day.
At midnight, I finally set to making a poster that resulted in something more like a brainstorming exercise I would do with students as to why a woman might march. In the center was the theme: Why I March. Around it, I listed some of my reasons: freedom of choice over my body, Black Lives Matter, misogyny is bipartisan. My poster would not be readable by the drones and cameras scanning the crowds; it required close reading. I was self-consciousness about my poster when I first arrived. Later, bolstered by the reflection of my reasons on the powerful posters around me — whether a simple board with black marker or an artful and laminated production –I held my poster higher as I progressed through the streets of downtown Los Angeles.
Sunday's LA Times article about the Women's March by Cathleen Decker viewed protesters' and organizers' refusal to choose one issue as a weakness, indicating that the significance of this march had little chance of continuing beyond January 21st. Decker quoted NYU political scientist, Patrick Egan, who stated that the Women's March "was not like rallies for reproductive rights or gay rights," predicting that "without unifying issues,it is difficult to sustain unity." It was not clear if this was an area of study for Egan or if he participated in the Women's March. Decker goes on to compare the Women's March to the perceived success of the Tea Party movement due to definable goals against Obamacare and the perceived failure of the Occupy Wall Street movement due to a lack of definable goals. They are right. Sustaining a movement is not easy. Yet, I look at my poster and wonder, how are we not being clear?
Decker and Egan fail to think outside of white, male, and upper-class definitions of political action, goals, and success. They miss how ending the domination of patriarchal rule is a goal that encompasses rectifying injustices in healthcare, education, and economic systems of this country because the realms in which patriarchy exploits women is many. They miss the fact that by not being about one issue the Women's March, organized by a diverse group of women, was radical and rooted in a lineage of feminist theory and matriarchal histories.
Through an election that exposed unfiltered misogyny on a national and unprecedented level in the bipartisan attacks against Hillary Clinton — which must be distinguished from valid critiques of her stance on issues — the media and the nation kept their blinders on by failing to name it. As the nation disparaged a woman who displayed a thorough command of the issues and competence as a leader in the face of an avowed abuser of women and compulsive liar, women saw themselves. We saw ourselves in meetings where male co-workers ignored us then parroted our ideas as their own, on dates where men mansplained how we could achieve the success they assumed we have not attained, and on job interviews where our experience and preparation were dismissed in favor of someone who is 'a better fit,' that is, someone with whom 'boys' can continue to be 'boys' in the office. When she was called a liar, we were reminded of all the times we were accused of being liars when we spoke up about sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. When she was called a nasty woman, we were reminded of how we were told we were bad women because we chose to leave husbands, marry women, live alone, have multiple sex partners, or make our work a priority. Still, this white, obscenely rich man who lied about unethical behavior that was caught on video now sits in the Oval Office.
In 1972, the year I was born, there was another candidate who ran for President, an outsider with the slogan Unbought and Unbossed: Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. According to a BBC profile of Chisholm she did not expect to win but hoped her campaign would change what people imagined could be possible in the United States. She launched her campaign declaring, "I stand before you today, to repudiate the ridiculous notion that the American people will not vote for qualified candidates, simply because he is not white or because she is not a male."
At the Women's March, I finally saw that I was not alone in being angry that my hope and belief in a world where people would vote for a woman because she was the most qualified candidate was trampled. Why was I not given Chisholm as a role model in my middle and high school education in Florida? Why were women still on the defensive in protecting basic rights over our bodies? After November 9th, women finally understood it was not us. We woke up to the fact that if we want to shake things up we must engage, just as Chisholm once advised a young Barbara Lee, Representative for California's 13th district.
Egan and Decker's doubt articulates the desire to limit a movement to an either/or dichotomy valued by the binary thinking of patriarchy, the same thinking that has taught women to limit how we think of ourselves and each other: virgins or whores, mothers or spinsters, homemakers or executives, smart or beautiful, wives or mistresses. In the book that introduced me to feminism, Feminist Theory: from margin to center, bell hooks contrasts oppression – which she defines as the "absence of choices" – with exploitation and discrimination, which is how most women in the U.S. experience patriarchy. We have choices as women, but, according to hooks, not complete freedom as the choices we are given restrict us. Yet, the absence of oppression permits "many women to ignore the areas in which they are exploited or discriminated against," and to remain in denial that other women are indeed oppressed.
I spent much of my life as a feminist guilty of this denial. I thought it was enough to get my college degree, to support myself, to travel alone, and to refuse to take minutes because I was the only woman in a meeting. I thought this was progress. That was before I could really imagine a true alternative to patriarchy because I had never seen a different model.
Vicki Noble and other feminist scholars have unearthed the history of matriarchal models of societies that achieved peace and prosperity through non-hierarchical governments and living in sync with the cycles of nature. We do not learn about this in history class because, as Noble writes in Shatki Woman, with any narrative that features women, these histories have been silenced as "…a threat to the established scholarship, which assumes 'progress' to be taking place throughout the development of the world as we know it and male domination to be the natural or preferred state of things." While reading Noble I went to see the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the California Science Center that included hundreds of small goddess statues dismissed as household trinkets rather than centers of deeply personal spiritual practices. The exhibit omitted the violence the overthrow of matriarchal societies with their altars in homes by patriarchal societies where spiritual lives were controlled by men in temples. This linear, limited, and binary view of the world covers up the multitudinous ways women are marginalized and exploited in our supposedly model democracy and silences the diversity of women's experiences and opinions. It traps us in a patriarchal way of thinking that locks out hope that we can come full circle, not back to the illusion of peace in the 1950's, but to the prosperity and equality of matriarchal cultures.
Though the 45th president is symbolic of the worst of patriarchy, the Women's March was not just a protest against him, just as feminism is not about women versus men. The March and feminism are about transformation, which is messy and chaotic and a work in progress, much like the poster I made at midnight.
In Hope in the Dark, Rebecca Solnit reminds us "that politics arises out of the spread of ideas and the shaping of imaginations," and that "symbolic and cultural acts have real political power." Decades after Chisholm's run for President challenged us to imagine something more than the narratives patriarchy allowed us to hear, we elected a black man as President — twice — and a woman won the popular vote. When we engage with compassion, we can stop the progress of destruction and heal some of the damage. Solnit sees transformation as slow and often under the radar of cultural buzz: "the changes that count take place not merely onstage as action but in the minds of those who are again and again pictured only as audience or bystanders".
I think of the circles of women I have gathered with at all stages of my life. I circled with women in dorm rooms and women in yoga studios so we could remind each other that we bear the losses and the victories together, no matter that each of us were waging different battles. I circled with women in kitchens and public access TV studios in Florida to plan, produce, and edit feminist stories and news before I really understood the importance and power of telling such stories. I circled with my tribes of writers and dancers in Los Angeles in which there are no stages, no actors or bystanders, but equal participants holding space for women to imagine a self and a world different from the dominant narrative. The Women's March, with its myriad issues, embodied the emergence of these circles from the dark corners of our towns to call for a shift from patriarchal to feminist agendas in political dialogue.
Even with the best intentions, it is a struggle to keep the circle from turning into a stage, to keep performance from overtaking collective transformation. In Feminist Theory, bell hooks wrote the aim of feminism "is not to benefit solely any specific group of women, any particular race or class of women" nor to "privilege women over men" nor is it "a ready-made identity or role." It is not a one issue movement and it requires the deep work of transformation. Just because we put on a pink pussy hat and say all are invited does not mean we are immune to the years of socialization living in a racist, patriarchal, and capitalist culture that teaches the primacy of competition, and that believes in a universe that operates on a law of scarcity rather than abundance.
Many participants in the Women's March failed, like Decker and Egan, to completely step out of patriarchy and white privilege to make space for the experiences of all women.
After the march, I celebrated, along with many others, the peacefulness of the Women's Marches, neglecting to recognize that it was so because, as Vitula Henderson writes in Racebaitr.com:
[T]he police didn't show up in riot gear and they didn't shoot tear gas or grenades into that crowd (as they do during Black Lives Matter protests, or as they did with the water protectors), because white women are respected and protected in a way Black women are not.
Feminism needs to step out of the confines of patriarchal hierarchy and binary thinking to follow the leadership of women of color, working-class women, LGBTQ women, and disabled women who know exploitations and discriminations that women with privileged status –whiteness, wealth, and health — do not know. We need to step into our power by building a feminist movement where writers like Barbara Sostaita will no longer have to report in Feministing how women of color are silenced by white women who do not want to acknowledge how their whiteness gives them privileges that does not make their exploitation equal to that of non-white women. This is why when I made my poster I included Black Lives Matter, a watercolor rainbow flag as the background, healthcare, and freedom of religion though none of these are reasons I have personally been discriminated against. We need a feminist movement where Henderson no longer needs to ask the same question in 2017 that hooks wrote about in 1984, "How can I work with white women who don't care about Black women and think an improvement for them is the same as an improvement for me, when only the reverse is true?"
If the Women's March is to be succeeded by action, feminists of privileged groups must face our discomfort. Ali Tharrington, a white woman reluctant to participate in a March that was not fully inclusive, decided to carry a sign that said "White Women Elected Trump." She wrote about her experience carrying this sign in Vox.com: The sign made me uncomfortable, it made others uncomfortable, and that was good. I am learning that, like many things in life, progress is made through discomfort. Discomfort means you're human and on the move.
Discomfort and difference are not tolerated in patriarchal politics, whose goal is to win rather than do the hard work of progress. Sostaita questions the whole idea of the need for uniformity in the women's movement while emphasizing the importance of continued dialogue that is the basis of collective struggle and transformation. "Unity, if it is to be achieved and if that is even a goal to be sought, can only happen if these conversations take place first," she writes. I want to believe in feminism as a movement that fosters dialogue to reach common ground.
As uncomfortable as it was for me to hold the sign I made and march with 750,000 others in Los Angeles, I still struggle to face the discomfort of talking to my sister about the political differences we have always pretended did not exist. My sister is an educated white woman who teaches science and math, yet asserts that she does not want to argue when politics come up. I have no idea what she really thinks of my choice to march or will think of this article. My discomfort is not just a difference in political opinions, but lies in the implications of how her world view and my silence has silenced and, now, endangers others.
A week after the March, yoga instructor and shamanic healer Bekah Turner posted a quote from Buckminister Fuller on Instagram: "To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." First, we must identify the narratives we have allowed to dictate our personal reality. In my family, it is admitting the family narrative of politeness and harmony is often one of complicity and denial. At work, I had to face why I falsely laughed along with others at the white male colleague who flaunts his privilege through jokes that are used to silence non-white and non-male voices. And ask myself, why, in public spaces, when men encroach on my personal space do I move to avoid being accused of making a scene, to put their comfort over my own. Why did I silently participate in the family narrative that I was the one causing the discomfort and embarrassing them with my liberal, big-city points of view, thus perpetuating the illusion that their racism and prejudices were simply differences in preferences? The privilege that allowed me to be in such denial is also the privilege to have the choice to indulge such denial or resist injustice. I choose resistance.
Collectively, we must choose whether or not January 20, 2017 and January 21, 2017 will be the tipping point that brings us face to face with personal and societal discomfort, and that transforms it into a new model for action and progress. Will we continue to hold the space that has been opened for feminist dialogue and action? I believe we are. I see it in the articles from Henderson, Tharrington, and Sostaita. I see it in the "Dress Like A Woman" pictures on social media and the emergence of TeenVogue as a source of cutting-edge journalism. I see it in women posting about their daily concrete action, modeling for others how we can resist with wisdom, force, and dignity. I see it in my new model of not seeking blame, but in creating justice and in empowering the voices that speak for the exploited and oppressed in order to dismantle the tools of patriarchy. I see it in our female senators and representatives taking the floor in Congress. I see in the female comedians on Saturday Night Live taking on the personas of male leaders to expose their hypocrisy and corruption. I see it in the dissolution of my sense of obligation to make others feel comfortable in their prejudices, to be polite. I see it in ScienceMarchLA, calling itself a sister march, in my women friends who are choosing to march, and in those who are staying home to write and submit essays, poems, and stories about resistance.
We must remember, though, the new model really is not new at all, but is, to go back to the Solnit analogy, just stepping into the spotlight from the shadows where it was kept it from public view by white, patriarchal media and scholarship. Personal activism has been going on behind the scenes in women's daily lives. We know because poets like Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, Audre Lourde, and Marilyn Hacker wrote about it. We know because of the activism of Dolores Huerta who fought for civil and labor rights and co-founded the National Farmworkers Association, though she does not have a holiday named after her. We know because playwright and essayist Ramona Pilar witnessed it in her mother's protest against gender norms, which she writes about on Women Who Submit: For my mother, that meant deciding to leave behind the idea of being a perfect wife and mother, and instead, risking social and cultural scorn to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a nurse.
When women in the second half of the 20th Century made revolutionary choices like Pilar's mother, there was no headline as there was for the Women's March. Still, thousands of women made such decisions or longed to do so.
On NPR's Hidden Brain segment, Shankar Vedantam reported on a study about women's willingness to express ambition publicly. The study's findings "suggest that these women at least at some level feel they are paying a price if they express ambition." Maybe my past avoidance of protest is not so much about my introversion and comfort in my own privilege, but about my fear of showing ambition. Maybe there were not enough images of women being agents of social change without rupturing personal relationships. Maybe we know that when we do step out of the scripts given to us, our authority will be questioned, our audacity will be ridiculed, reducing us to being labeled an angry woman, a shrew. Maybe the new model is not caring about any of these lingering fears, not giving them power.
To remind myself that I must face discomfort to dispel it, I put my poster in my meditation space. I recall a quote from Noble's Shakti Woman: [w]e must create a strong enough central axis that each of us can stand her ground in the face of all opposition, visible or invisible, that might attempt to stop the expulsion of the possessing entity who has taken over the world (240).
Though written in 1991 and talking about the thousands of years of patriarchal rule that replaced matriarchal societies, her words apply to our current oppositional times. I see a new axis forming, strengthening, in the circle of issues around "Why I March" on my poster, and in the map of marches all around the world radiating from the Women's March on D.C. I see this new axis in the awakened activism and the shared confidence rooted in our history and our power that we know by instinct, even if obscured in our experiences living in patriarchal society and learning a history scripted by patriarchal powers. I see the shift to a new feminism, a circle that has been pried open to allow the margins to become the center, and that I hope will heal into something stronger and more whole.

Owner of RJ and C Metal Fabricators in Phoenix, Arizona, the late Rickey Jensen was known to be a quiet and private man who mostly kept to himself. Some surmised that he may have been a bit of a hoarder, but as a welder and fabricator, his extensive collection of scrap metal and other junkyard items were all just a part of the business.
After Jensen's death, however, a different sort of collection was discovered, hidden away in the dark confines of his padlocked barn. Unlike his heaps of discarded metal odds and ends, this collection was a carefully curated treasure trove of valuable goods: 15 vintage Indian motorcycles and hundreds of pieces of Indian memorabilia—a collection so rare and desirable that it puts others before it to shame. While Jensen's reclusive nature means that not much is known about him today, one thing is quite obvious: he was a man who lived and breathed for the Indian brand, and his dedication to the brand produced one of the finest Indian collections around. This January, Jensen's remarkable barn-find collection will join the Las Vegas motorcycle auction lineup, and each sought-after piece will be offered at absolute no reserve.
Spanning from Indian's beginning years to its bitter end, Jensen's collection is a truly remarkable assemblage, and that he managed to build this amazing collection all in secret is shocking. It is believed that before his death, maybe only two other people had ever seen the collection, which makes one wonder how on earth he managed to bring it together at all.
Finally freed from its confines, this extraordinary barn-find collection of rare Indian motorcycles and memorabilia is now set to cross the auction block at Mecum's 28th annual vintage and antique motorcycle auction in Las Vegas this January 22-26. With each passing year, the likelihood of discovering collections such as this becomes less and less. There is even a chance that this could be the last hidden trove of such desirable Indian artifacts left in the world.


I just finished converting an older MaxNC-10 benchtop milling machine to use a Protoneer v3.0 shield, GRBL and GRBL Controller 3.6.1. The first MaxNC I started on had five wire motors on each axis so I switched them out to some six wire Japan Servo motors that I got from HobbyCNC many years ago. First question - the six wire steppers can be wired in series to give 10 ohms / 43mH or just use half the coil and wire them for 5 ohms / 9mH. I'm currently wired with the 10 ohm arrangement but wondering if there be an advantage to going to the 5 ohm setup? I'm using the TI DRV8825 drivers and have the current set to about 1.4 amps. It is working but I have had to back off the speed a little more than I would like (maybe 10-12ipm?, I can't recall). Leadscrews are original MaxNC-10 1/4-20.
The tech high school that my son is attending has three of these MaxNC-10 mills and two of the older (non encoder) T2 lathes collecting dust and I'd like to get them all up and running without having to go down the path of expensive hardware and software. MaxNC / Ximotion is right around the corner from us but they have been completely unresponsive. Thankfully Taig Tools was helpful in supplying us with some collets that we needed.
All of the mills have the original MaxNC electronics but the software is long gone and the cables/connectors are in disrepair. Two of the mills have the optional 4th axis. I've seen some discussions and projects towards 4 axis GRBL control but nothing really formalized. I am not capable of pioneering this effort so I'd like to know if there is anything in the works that would steer us towards one board or the other. I like the look of the Protoneer Raspberry Pi shield but with the integrated nano on it I would think that this board will always be limited to 3 axes. So I'm wondering if the Raspberry Pi solutions should be ignored and I should just be looking at a PC solution with the v3.51 shield?
BTW, the school has two Haas machines, a VF-2 and a TM-1. The hope would be to get these three MaxNC-10 mills running (with a very small budget) and use them as trainers before turning the kids loose on the expensive Haas equipment. I wonder if anyone with familiarity with Haas controls could comment on which GRBL interface has at least some similarity. bCNC looks interesting but I haven't tried it yet.
Thanks for any input and direction you can provide!
First question - the six wire steppers can be wired in series to give 10 ohms / 43mH or just use half the coil and wire them for 5 ohms / 9mH. I'm currently wired with the 10 ohm arrangement but wondering if there be an advantage to going to the 5 ohm setup?
My thoughts would be that the two setups would be very similar in performance as the energy(Watts) going into the system would be the same. The main advantage would be that steppers can be used in bi-polar and uni-polar systems.
Bertus, thank you for all of your feedback. Very much appreciated.
Animal, I don't have any limit switches yet. I realized just recently that I'll need to back down from GRBL 1.1 to 0.8 in order to do that with the v3.0 shield. The other two mills the school has are also open loop but have the Powermax II eight wire motors. I will be tackling those next. Since they have the 4th axis and GRBL isn't really there yet, I may back up and go with either Mach3 or UCCNC - not sure yet. I guess it depends on what funding we can get from the administration. If you find a good limit switch and mounting method please post pics back here. I will do so as well if and when I get to that point.
One thing I would add is to be sure and shield everything. When I first did this it would work great until I turned the spindle on. Then it was hit and miss (mostly miss) with it executing the gcode. Not sure if it was a usb issue or an Arduino / GRBL issue but switching to shielded cables and a metal enclosure for the Arduino fixed it. The cable shields are grounded at the motor mounts and to the Arduino enclosure.
You may be right about grounding on one end only - I probably have a ground loop the way I have it. What I probably should have done was not ground them at the motor end, and add a single ground from the Arduino case to the MaxNC structure. This is working for now so I'm going to leave it be.
If you retain the original speed control the Arduino might not like being in the same box as it is. Perhaps you could put in a divider? I just went to the thrift store and picked up a small tin for 50c and mounted the Arduino in that. The lid contacts the heat sinks and seems to help dissipate some of the heat.
My speed controller was a cludge of components & solder snott. I thought I would use a speed control I have for a Dremel for the initial testing & I will prob replace the motor at some stage to get rid of the noise & fire issue.
I've been given a MaxNC-10 by a company that tried to upgrade it with new steppers, G-540 & 5i25 I/O board. The computer that came with it runs what appears to be the latest version of LinuxCNC. I saw it running in its original form with a DOS computer and what was probably the original software. That computer was junked by the company, so I've tried to get the MaxNC-10 running with LinuxCNC.
The problem I'm having is that the new motors aren't always responding to the change of direction and they will occasionally run nicely in one direction, but 'growl' while moving in the other.
It would be nice to put this to use for some minor engraving and small plastic and wood work. It appears that it needs some tweaking, but I'm too new at this to know how/where to start!
Any suggestions would be most welcomed!


Working for yourself is dangerous and a roller-coaster of success, fail, fail, fail, fail, success, fail, fail, fail, fail, success. It is an utter head-breaker, but it is worth it for the autonomy and the freedom and the spontaneous time you can spend with your family. Once you start it, you never go back… unless Bob Dylan calls offering you a job.
The person in the accounts department is usually 'out to lunch', 'not in this morning' or 'on holiday'. You leave your number, say it's urgent, ask them to ring you back…they never do.

Only time will tell if 50 or 60 years of daily use will prove these new 'miracle' ingredients to be totally safe on your skin.
Meanwhile, we will continue to manufacture products using natural ingredients that nature has so thoughtfully provided for us. And there is certainly no shortage of effective plants to choose from, with scientists continually discovering more and more amazing healing and rejuvenating benefits within them.

Aroma-botanicals® skincare brings you beautiful skin - naturally.
One of the secrets of beautiful skin lies in effectively removing excess oil, dirt and dead skin cells.
But not many people realise that most commercial soaps contain tallow - which is animal fat, as well as petroleum derived detergents!
This is hardly the best thing to apply to your face and body whilst trying to cleanse it, and it is not surprising that your skin is left feeling taught and dry.
Vegetable based soaps offer a much more gentle and moisturising approach to cleansing your skin.
Vegetable oils must be cold pressed to ensure that the essential therapeutic fatty acids and vitamins are not destroyed during the process of manufacture.

This Neo-Gothic Episcopal cathedral is the sixth largest cathedral in the world. Completed in 1990 after 83 years of construction, it hosts important national ceremonies such as presidential funerals.
Dubbed the "Presidents' Church," this historic Episcopal church is located next to the White House. Since 1816 every president has attended a service here, including Obama on Inauguration Day.
This grand church dedicated to the Immaculate Conception is an important Catholic shrine consecrated in 1959. Its architecture is a mix of Romanesque and Byzantine.

The changes in the recent tax reform legislation regarding asset purchases and trade-ins are among the most significant for ag producers. With one provision retroactive, it's important to understand all of your choices.
For the tax year beginning in 2017, under former law, a taxpayer is allowed to expense up to $510,000 of asset additions under Section 179. That number increases to $1,000,000 for the tax year beginning in 2018.
This deduction phases out if the taxpayer acquires eligible assets within the year that exceed a threshold. For the tax year beginning in 2017, that threshold is $2,030,000. For the tax year beginning in 2018, this "too-big-to-get-it" limit starts at $2,500,000 of eligible purchases.
Over recent years, new asset acquisitions have been eligible for a 50% first-year bonus deduction. In one of the rare retroactive changes, a business may expense 100% of both new and used asset purchases, effective for property both acquired and placed in service after Sept. 27, 2017. This 100% first-year bonus deduction continues through 2022 then begins a 20%-per-year rate phasedown starting in 2023, eventually reaching zero in 2027.
Retroactive changes can mess up tax planning. The tax law allows a taxpayer for the first tax year ending after Sept. 27, 2017, to retain the former 50% bonus depreciation provision for the entire year.
With these expanded depreciation rules, most ag producers will be able to totally deduct asset acquisitions. The general advice will be to use Section 179, as that provision can be fine-tuned to a precise amount and also amended up or down in a later year.
Section 1031 was preserved in its entirety for tax-deferred exchanges of real estate used in a business or held for investment. However, for equipment and other non-real estate trades beginning in 2018 and after, gain must be recognized to the extent of the value allowed for the relinquished property. The new rule appears to have no impact because the additional gain recognized can be offset by the expanded first-year depreciation deductions.
For those operating as proprietorships or partnerships, the gain is not subject to the self-employed social security tax, whereas the extra depreciation produces a reduction in SE tax. If an S corporation is in its first five years of switching from C status, the gain on disposition would be exposed to the built-in gains tax.

Political Update: Impeachment Fever – Going for the Bucks
10.09.19 Article by John Landsman CATEGORIES: Trends & Analysis TAGS: Political Email
The recently announced formal House impeachment inquiry has all but eclipsed attention away from the contentious roster of Democratic Presidential candidates. We're seeing a hot email war that's much less between those candidates than between the powerful forces representing each side of the intensifying impeachment battle. And, predictably, the battle being fought with email is much less about conflicts of principle than about leveraging those conflicts to raise money. These campaigns peaked in the seven days ending September 30th, which is a month-end cutoff for Federally mandated political fundraising reporting. Let's talk about what we're seeing.
There are two main combatants in this fight:
House Speaker Pelosi: Principal email channel is through the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).
President Trump: Mails through his political campaign, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.
Here's an activity thumbnail for each, with views of the past thirty days and the past seven days:
(*) Shows the audience percentage not opening an email from that sender in the past thirty days, having previously done so, and while continuing to open emails from other senders.
DCCC has twice Trump's audience, deployed many times the number of campaigns (though not all explicitly impeachment-themed), but had a much lower read rate than Trump's activity, and a higher spam rate. These differentials didn't change appreciably between the two time windows, although the DCCC did surge much more of its 30-day volume than Trump did into the most recent seven days. Nevertheless, the DCCC audience's overall open-engagement is ten percentage points better than that of Trump's audience.
Most of DCCC's related emails come from Nancy Pelosi, but their messaging frequently has other prominent party proxies; e.g., James Carville, John Kerry, Paul Begala, Heidi Heidtkamp, Adam Schiff. Trump's email comes almost exclusively from Trump himself, with one rare exception, where Don Jr's name appears as the sender.
The appeals are almost universally emotional. Sample subject lines:
Body content goes even further. Examples:
Nearly all of these messages front urgent fund-raising CTA's. One exception, from the DCCC, (Subj: "NOT asking for money") in fact yielded a survey request, providing this link:
"BEFORE MIDNIGHT: Will you take a stand with me against Trump's corruption and abuse of power? >>"
The link leads to a simple form (Heading: "Demand an End to Trump's Corruption "), requesting email, zip code and cell phone number. Next to the phone request was an asterisk to a footnote which includes this wording:
"By providing your phone number (home or mobile) you consent to receive periodic campaign updates through automated text messages and calls from DCCC."
So, they're not raising money here; rather opting-in a new point of contact — so that they can raise money.
These emails are pervasive because they do raise money, not necessarily as the sole or largest source, but with quick-turn flexibility and sufficient success to be worth their low cost. The email is personalized to the extent that it recognizes whether its receiver has responded to earlier requests. However, production values are consistently low, and the inflammatory tenor of the messaging, and its high frequency (e.g., 25 DCCC emails in one inbox over the past week), may be considered offensive by some, in part explaining the spam issues many of these campaigns have.
Between the impeachment battle and the Presidential campaigns, none of this activity is going away soon. We have a fascinating window into the political process. We'll keep watching and reporting.
