You can relax on the beautiful white sandy beaches of Florida at these RV parks and campgrounds.
While some full-timers head southwest to spend their winter in places like Arizona and South Texas, others are flocking to the white sandy beaches of Florida where they can relax under palm trees and take in views of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.
Even if you're a frugal RVer you'll find the Sunshine State has lots of inexpensive places to stay by the beach, especially on public lands like State Parks. On the other hand, if you feel like spending more on a luxurious RV park there are lots of highly rated resorts to choose from, too. These eight RV parks and campgrounds are some of the most popular options.
On Florida's Panhandle, Camp Gulf has 200 sites along Destin's white sandy beach. This RV park offers beachfront and shaded sites, luxury cabins, and a beach house that can accommodate up to fifteen people.
The sites are not cheap but you get what you pay for in both views and amenities. Their Beachfront Sites are big rig friendly and have water and electric hookups only. Further back, the Beach Sites have full hookups, stamped concrete patios, and picnic tables, and their Shaded Upper RV Sites are close to their pools and laundry facilities. Their last option, the North Upper RV Sites are the closest to the resort entrance. These sites are only a five-minute walk to the beach, but golf cart and beach cart rentals are available to make the trip fast and easy.
After a day on the beach, unwind in one of their two solar-heated pools and spa, or lay back and connect to their newly-upgraded WiFi or cable TV. Camp Gulf also has 3 well-maintained bathhouses with 22 family-style restrooms.
Maybe you don't want to spend $80+ a night on a luxury RV site but still want to camp by the beach. The many waterside state parks in Florida make it easy to avoid this. One such place is St. Joseph Peninsula Memorial Park, on a thin strip of land between the Gulf Of Mexico and St. Joseph Bay, across from Port St. Joe.
This park is renowned for its snow-white sandy beaches, easily reachable from the 119 campsites with water, electricity, picnic tables, and grills. The campground also has a tent area, bathhouse with showers, and seven furnished cabins. When you're not laying back on the beach taking in the view, check out the hiking trails or head out on the bay for activities like fishing and kayaking.
In northeast Florida, Talbot State Parks are divided into Big Talbot and Little Talbot, with Little Talbot Park the further south of the two and the only one with a campground. Sites for tents and RVs are located along the eastern salt marshes of Myrtle Creek with the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Access to the beach is a short walk across Highway A1A where the park's front gate and check-in are located.
Look out for wildlife like river otters, marsh rabbits, bobcats, and various native and migratory birds. Daytime activities include hiking trails, kayaking, surfing, and fishing in the surrounding surf and tidal streams for bluefish, striped bass and more. Visitors can also use the beachside pavilions for picnics and reserve them in advance for an extra fee.
The roads in are narrow with low-hanging branches (not suitable for big rigs), but the sites are nicely shaded and level. Each site has water and electricity (30-amp), as well as a fire ring and picnic table.
This resort is across the road from Carrabelle Beach on Florida's Forgotten Coast. In addition to their full hookup RV sites with level concrete pads, Carrabelle Resort has oceanview lofts, cottages, and cabins. Their amenities include a pool, playground, pet area, WiFi, showers, and a rec room.
Crooked River Lighthouse is only a minute up the road. You can climb the historic structure or just browse their Keeper's House Museum and Gift Shop. Also nearby is St. George Island with lots of shops, restaurants, and biking/jogging trails.
Beverly Beach Camptown is like parking in paradise with sites looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. Their pet-friendly resort spans along 1,500 feet of coastline in Flagler Beach, a short drive from Central Florida attractions like Disney World. St. Augustine, the nation's oldest city, is less than an hour north, and Daytona Beach is only about forty minutes south.
The sites are nicely spaced with full hookups and a picnic table for each spot. The resort includes four beach walkways, two laundry facilities with TVs, and full-service bathrooms. Of course, the oceanfront sites aren't cheap but with views like these, you're definitely getting every penny's worth.
Sugar Sand Beach Resort has limited sites but they make up for it in their beautiful waterfront location and fabulous amenities. The resort only has eleven back-in sites total but all are big-rig friendly with full hookups and WiFi. Guests can rent kayaks (when available) and catch up on laundry in their coinless facilities.
The resort offers hammocks to relax in, a community fire pit with wood provided, and picnic tables. It's also a short walk to a variety of shops and restaurants in Matlacha.
Pensacola Beach RV Resort has waterfront sites on the 40-mile Gulf Coast barrier island of Santa Rosa. The full hookup sites are roomy and level with concrete pads and picnic tables. The park has 24-hour laundry facilities, free WiFi, and a pool open daily.
The park is surrounded by eateries from a chowder house to a breakfast cafe. Nearby the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk has shops to browse. Also within a short walking distance is the Pensacola Beach Pier which juts out into the Gulf of Mexico.
Just across from Santa Rosa Island, this resort has waterfront sites along Santa Rosa Sound. Their level full hookup sites have concrete pads, and the upscale amenities include a heated waterfront pool and a 300-foot-long fishing pier.
They recently added a 3,000-square-foot outdoor gathering area with a fire pit, a newly fenced-in dog park, and upgraded WiFi. New kayaks and paddle boards are also available for guests.
Really loe st. Andrews s park..great fishingfor sanddollars and star fish .
Well by the time I'm ABLE to be retired maybe they'll be all fixed up and ready to go….yes?

Home Animals & Plants Remarkable new species of snake found hidden in a biodiversity collection
Remarkable new species of snake found hidden in a biodiversity collection
To be fair, the newly described Waray Dwarf Burrowing Snake (Levitonius mirus) is pretty great at hiding.
In its native habitat, Samar and Leyte islands in the Philippines, the snake spends most of its time burrowing underground, usually surfacing only after heavy rains in much the same way earthworms tend to wash up on suburban sidewalks after a downpour.
So, it may not be shocking that when examples of the Waray Dwarf Burrowing Snake were collected in 2006 and 2007, they were misidentified in the field—nobody had seen them before. The specimens spent years preserved in the collections of the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum, overlooked by researchers who were unaware they possessed an entirely new genus of snake, even after further examples were found in 2014.
But that changed once Jeff Weinell, a KU graduate research assistant at the Biodiversity Institute, took a closer look at the specimens' genetics using molecular analysis, then sent them to collaborators at the University of Florida for CT scanning. Now, he's the lead author on a paper describing the snake as both a new genus, and a new species, in the peer-reviewed journal Copeia.
"I was initially interested in studying the group of snakes that I thought it belonged to—or that other people thought it belonged to," Weinell said. "This is when I first started my Ph.D. at KU. I was interested in collecting data on a lot of different snakes and finding out what I actually wanted to research. I knew this other group of small, burrowing snakes called Pseudorabdion—there are quite a few species in the Philippines—and I was interested in understanding the relationships among those snakes. So, I made a list of all the specimens we had in the museum of that group, and I started sequencing DNA for the tissues that were available."
As soon as Weinell got the molecular data back, he realized the sample from the subterranean snake didn't fall within Pseudorabdion. But pinpointing where the snake should be classified wasn't a simple task: The Philippine archipelago is an exceptionally biodiverse region that includes at least 112 species of land snakes from 41 genera and 12 families.
"It was supposed to be closely related, but it was actually related to this entirely different family of snakes," he said. "That led me to look at it in more detail, and I realized that there were actually some features that were quite different from what it was initially identified as."
Working with Rafe Brown, professor of ecology & evolutionary biology and curator-in-charge of the KU Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum, Weinell took a closer look at the snake's morphology, paying special attention to the scales on the body, which can be used to differentiate species.
He then sent one of the specimens to the University of Florida for CT scanning to get a more precise look at the internal anatomy of the mysterious Philippine snake. The CT images turned out to be surprising.
"The snake has among the fewest number of vertebrae of any snake species in the world, which is likely the result of miniaturization and an adaptation for spending most of its life underground," Weinell said.
Finally, the KU graduate research assistant and his colleagues were able to determine the Waray Dwarf Burrowing Snake mirus was a new "miniaturized genus" and species of snake. Now, for the first time, Weinell has had the chance to bestow the snake with its scientific name, Levitonius mirus.
"It's actually named for Alan Leviton, who is a researcher at the California Academy of Sciences, and he had spent decades basically studying snakes in the Philippines in the '60s, '70s, '80s and then all the way up to now," Weinell said. "So, that's sort of an honorific genus name for him. Then, 'mirus' is Latin for unexpected. That's referencing the unexpected nature of this discovery—getting the DNA sequences back and then wondering what was going on."
In addition to Brown, Weinell's co-authors on the new paper are Daniel Paluh of the University of Florida and Cameron Siler of the University of Oklahoma. Brown said the description of Levitonius mirus highlights the value of preserving collections of biodiversity in research institutions and universities.
"In this case, the trained 'expert field biologists' misidentified specimens—and we did so repeatedly, over years—failing to recognize the significance of our finds, which were preserved and assumed to be somewhat unremarkable, nondescript juveniles of common snakes," Brown said. "This happens a lot in the real world of biodiversity discovery. It was only much later, when the next generation of scientists came along and had the time and access to accumulated numbers of specimens, and when the right people, like Jeff, who asked the right questions and who had the right tools and expertise, like Dan, came along and took a fresh look, that we were able to identify this snake correctly. It's a good thing we have biodiversity repositories and take our specimen-care oaths seriously."
According to Marites Bonachita-Sanguila, a biologist at the Biodiversity Informatics and Research Center at Father Saturnino Urios University, located in the southern Philippines, the snake discovery "tells us that there is still so much more to learn about reptile biodiversity of the southern Philippines by focusing intently on species-preferred microhabitats."
"The pioneering Philippine herpetological work of Walter Brown and Angel Alcala from the 1960s to the 1990s taught biologists the important lesson of focusing on species' very specific microhabitat preferences," Bonachita-Sanguila said. "Even so, biologists have really missed many important species occurrences, such as this, because …. well, simply because we did not know basic clues about where to find them. In the case of this discovery, the information that biologists lacked was that we should dig for them when we survey forests. So simple. How did we miss that? All this time, we were literally walking on top of them as we surveyed the forests of Samar and Leyte. Next time, bring a shovel."
She added that habitat loss as a result of human-mediated land use (such as conversion of forested habitats for agriculture to produce food for people) is a prevailing issue in Philippine society today.
"This new information, and what we will learn more in future studies of this remarkable little creature, would inform planning for conservation action, in the strong need for initiatives to conserve Philippine endemic species—even ones we seldom get to see," Bonachita-Sanguila said. "We need effective land-use management strategies, not only for the conservation of celebrated Philippine species like eagles and tarsiers, but for lesser-known, inconspicuous species and their very specific habitats—in this case, forest-floor soil, because it's the only home they have."

"Solowey's brilliant and productive art career was based on an affinity with life and an awareness of all that was around him."
-Virginia Castleton
Ben Solowey defies easy categorization. He had an international reputation for his canvases, watercolors, and drawings in a wide variety of genres and styles, yet was part of no school or movement. In 1919 at an exhibition judged by Edward Redfield, Solowey was awarded a scholarship to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Upon moving to Manhattan in 1928, Solowey was commissioned by The New York Times and Herald-Tribune to capture the performing arts in New York. Solowey drew from life his subjects, such as Katharine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier, and his nearly 900 charcoal portraits played an important role in introducing the use of halftone to newspaper reproduction. At the same time, his paintings were exhibited regularly at such institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, alongside those of Picasso and Matisse. At the height of his acclaim for both his paintings and his theatre work, Solowey moved to Bucks County, where he would create some of his greatest work, even though the first seven years he would be without electricity and running water on his property. He proved to be a true Renaissance man, creating award-winning canvases, while at the same time building furniture, frames, and restoring the colonial farmhouse.

Teachers and Influences
At the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts: Hugh Breckenridge, Daniel Garber, Henry McCarter
According to Solowey: "Looking back to art school calls to mind a strong influence upon me of the French. They, through Delacroix, Courbet, the Impressionists and the Moderns, injected fresh air into painting....If some of my work shows a preference for greyed tones in color, I am undoubtedly influenced in my work by the choice of colors which surround me."

Connection to Bucks County
In 1942, at the height of his acclaim for both his paintings and his theatre work, Solowey left the comforts of Fifth Avenue for the countryside of Bedminster, Pennsylvania, where he and his wife had purchased a farm six years earlier. Solowey restored the colonial farmhouse on the 34 acre farm, furnishing it with his own recreations of classic furniture he admired in museums. He taught at the New Hope Fine Arts Workshop, Allen Lanes Art Center, Lansdale Art League, as well as at his studio. In addition to solo shows, his work was seen regularly at the annual Phillips' Mill exhibitions, and was included in the Bucks County Travelling Art Gallery. Solowey was commissioned to paint an oil portrait of the founder of the Shrine of Czestochowa. After Solowey's death, his wife Rae insisted that his unique studio remain intact for the public to enjoy. Interpretive exhibitions of Solowey's work and his contemporaries are mounted at the Solowey studio today.
Colleagues and Affiliations
Solowey enjoyed the company of Helen and George Papashvilly, Arthur Meltzer and Paulette Von Roekens, William A. Smith, Joe Greenberg, Ranulph Bye, Charles Rudy, Charles Hargens, Joseph Meierhans, and Joseph Hirsch. He taught at the New Hope Fine Arts Workshop with Martin Jackson, John Foster, and Gerd Utescher.
"I know that the bigger the people were, the nicer they were to work with."
-Ben Solowey
Commissioned by The New York Times and The Herald Tribune, Solowey defined an era in his striking charcoal portraits of the luminaries of the performing arts. Unlike many artists in the field, he insisted on working from life, often visiting the theater during a rehearsal to delineate the performer either right on stage (frequently under a bare light bulb), or in an actor's dressing room. Because of performers' hectic schedules, Solowey sometimes had only minutes to capture the essence of his subject and the character they were portraying. Later performers took the opportunity to visit the Solowey studio on 5th Avenue in Greenwich Village where the artist could work undistracted. He was one of the first artists to introduce halftone to newspaper reproduction. He chose charcoal because of its quick response to his hand, and preferred strong light to make an indelible mark on the page and reduce the possibility of error in reproduction. To be drawn by Solowey was a sign that a performer had "arrived," and his portraits were eagerly awaited each week by both performers and newspaper readers.

From 1929 to 1942, Solowey was commissioned primarily by The New York Times and The Herald Tribune to draw nearly 900 charcoal portraits of performers, directors and producers from the theater, film, and opera. Throughout his career, he was compared to John Singer Sargent, and was commissioned to paint or draw portraits in oils, watercolor, pastel, and charcoal of a number of individuals. Commissions included J. Edgar Hoover, Eleanor Robson Belmont, founder of the Metropolitan Opera Guild, and Lessing Rosenwald (portrait now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.).

TVLine has learned exclusively that the English actor is set to guest-star on the CW series in a Season 6 riff on Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Stanley Kubrick's acclaimed satirization of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States.
In the episode — which appears to be the upcoming season's fourth, titled "Bay of Squids" — Nate (played by Nick Zano) and Zari (Tala Ashe) must infiltrate the Kennedy White House to stop Bishop's warmongering General Kilgore from steering JFK to start WWIII when an alien begins wreaking havoc in Fidel Castro's Cuba in 1962.
Bishop's character is likened to Dr. Strangelove's General Buck Turgidson, who was played by George C. Scott in the Kubrick film.
In addition to his aforementioned two-season run as Body of Proof's Peter Dunlop, Bishop's many TV credits include, most recently, Apple TV+'s Truth Be Told, as well as Snowfall, Covert Affairs, Dominion and Home and Away. (I see that he also apparently is dating Legends star Jes Macallan, and thus would be within her safe COVID "bubble.")
Legends of Tomorrow is among the CW series still awaiting a return date and which are penciled in for Spring 2021 or later.

This "apology" isn't one at all. Rather, this makes it sound like her addiction to plagiarizing the works of others was all a big accident. A misunderstanding, if you will.
Amanda wells, you need to repent of your theft, lying and bullying in the name of God, step down from being a Pastrix/Prophet, and bear fruit in keeping with repentance by never speaking in front of a church gathering again. You may think this is all a game but God takes repentance seriously, even to the point of hardening the hearts of those who do not repent.

Missing European Teenager Found Dead in Malaysian Jungle Under Mysterious Circumstances – Another Missing 411 Case?
Niall Bradley
A Royal Malaysian Police officer points to a map showing the search and rescue operation area
Details concerning the discovery of the body of missing Irish-French teenager in the Malaysian jungle on August 13th point to it being another 'Missing 411' case.
15-year-old Nora Quoirin was on holiday in Malaysia with her two younger siblings and their parents, staying at the Dusun eco-resort in Negeri Sembilan state.
Situated at a trailhead on the west side of the Berembun Forest Reserve, the resort is a mere 35kms as the crow flies from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, but is nonetheless surrounded by dense rainforest.
The Quoirin family had arrived there on August 4th, checked-in to their villa at the resort, then Nora was noticed missing by her father at 8am the next morning when he discovered she was not in her room and that the window was open.
As search-and-rescue (SAR) teams began looking for her, Malaysian officials' working theory was that she had left the bedroom at some point in the early hours, wandered off and become lost. But Nora was born with the brain defect holoprosencephaly, an unusual condition in which the forebrain is not fully divided into left and right hemispheres.
Nora's medical condition meant that she was highly dependent on full-time care and, as her mother insists, "would not have wandered off on her own." Her siblings, who were sleeping in the same room as her, did not notice her leave, and CCTV cameras at the resort did not capture her leaving. Even if she had been motivated to do so, it's unlikely Nora could physically negotiate the rigors of leaving the resort and trekking through steep, dense jungle. For these reasons, her parents insisted that local investigating authorities consider that she had been abducted.
Police are keeping an open mind about a criminal angle, but they have reported that:
there was no sign of any intruder entering the property. They did not find any footprints inside the villa or forensic evidence to suggest an unknown person was inside. The entire area around the villa where the family were staying is covered with soggy vegetation and the single-track road leading to the resort is covered with mud.
Had someone entered through the window and climbed a flight of stairs to an upstairs bedroom where Nora was sleeping, it is assumed there would have been traces of mud on the floor. It is because of the lack of evidence of any crime that police treated the case as primarily that of a missing person.
In any event, multiple SAR teams searched the area, as far as 4kms away from the resort, for 9 days until she was found on the 13th. By then over 350 people had been involved in intensive searches of the surrounding jungle and the nearby river, using helicopters with thermal detectors, drones, sniffer dogs, and even local shamans. The spot where she was found is described as "particularly inaccessible" by the local police chief.
The distance between the resort where Nora was last seen, and where her body was found 9 days later
At one point in their search, they found footprints, but they didn't lead to her. They deployed cadaver dogs, but those didn't pick up her scent. They even had her mother, Meabh Quoirin, record messages that were played on bullhorns as SAR teams trekked through the jungle:
https://videos.dailymail.co.uk/video/mol/2019/08/11/3602038114989881292/480x270_MP4_3602038114989881292.mp4
Bizarrely, they found Nora's body next to the Lata Berembun waterfall, which is located 1.6 miles (2kms) from her villa. What's more, she was found at a site that had already been searched. It's not that they missed her the first time; her body was naked and it wasn't obscured by canopy or other vegetation. It was just… not there – and then several days later, just lying there.
Trekkers searching for Nora. We don't know how close they are to the ultimate location, but if those boulders are any indication, Nora was likely surrounded by them. Large boulders and boulder fields are a common profile point in Missing 411 cases…
Here's drone footage of the jungle Nora Quoirin – a 15-year-old from London, England, with a pronounced disability – would have had to trek through to somehow end up at that waterfall:
The location is so remote, her body had to be extracted by helicopter. While she presumably would not have been wearing much more than pajamas or underwear, no clothing or personal items have so far been found. Sean Yeap, who was part of the 25-man SAR team that made the shocking discovery, reported that as they approached her:
"It looked like she was sleeping. Her head was resting on her hands. But we all knew she was dead. It was very sad and two women in the group did not want to come close and they started crying."
A post-mortem carried out on the body by a senior pathologist from Kuala Lumpur was initially judged "inconclusive" as to the cause of death. They're now saying she "probably died of stress and starvation," but have so far ruled out "violence, abduction or kidnapping," and have found "no evidence of foul play for the time being", although tests are still ongoing.
Nora's parents Meabh and Sebastien thank Malaysian police, military and volunteers for their search efforts
This must be very sad and traumatic for the family. Unfortunately, such sudden and unexplained disappearances happen all too often.
This case has pretty much all of the profile points seen in Missing 411 cases. These are sets of missing person cases that have been re-investigated and catalogued by retired California police detective David Paulides in his Missing 411 series of books. While his books primarily focus on cases in North America, the author notes that such incidents take place around the world.
Sometimes people vanish without a trace; sometimes they are found, but what these cases typically have in common are several or more profile points from among a set of strange but strikingly similar circumstances:
the victim had a disability or impairment of some kind
the victim disappears from/is found in a location with large boulders or boulder fields
the victim 'wandered off' suddenly, unseen
the victim is found with no clothing or missing clothing
the victim is found at or near water
the victim is found a substantial distance away from her last known location, in rough terrain, where it would ordinarily be difficult if not impossible for the victim to walk themselves
the cause of death is 'inconclusive/unknown'
the victim is found in a spot that had been previously searched
In fact, the only Missing 411 profile points this case does not (as yet) meet are:
a weather event (which typically occurs right around the time of the disappearance or during the early stages of the SAR operation);
geographical clustering – whether this occurred in a location with past or concurrent unsolved missing persons cases is unknown.
Perhaps researchers in or familiar with Malaysia can clarify these latter points.
I should mention that the specific detail in Nora Quoirin's case which spurred me to take a closer look was the description of her having been found naked beside water, looking as if she was sleeping. This description matches one of the female cases featured in Paulides' recent documentary, Missing 411: The Hunted.
In fact, one subset of cases Paulides catalogues in North America is missing hunters, who are typically armed, healthy men, very familiar with the outdoors, and even the specific location they disappeared from. So it can happen to anyone, but the best – and perhaps the only – defense against something like this happening to you or someone you know is awareness of the phenomenon…
In the meantime, we can only wish the Quoirin family well as they grieve their daughter, and encourage readers to familiarize themselves with the phenomenon of mysterious disappearances.

Trans-Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement Definition
As home to a significant portion of the world`s population, wildlife, flora and marine species, the parties to the TPP share a strong commitment to environmental protection and conservation, including working together to manage environmental challenges such as pollution, illegal wildlife trade , illegal logging, illegal fishing and the protection of the marine environment. The 12 parties agree to effectively enforce their environmental legislation; and not to weaken environmental legislation to encourage trade or investment. They also agree to meet their obligations under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and to take control and cooperation measures to prevent the illegal trade in wildlife. In addition, the parties agree to promote sustainable forest management and to protect and preserve the wildlife they have classified as endangered on their territory, including measures to preserve the ecological integrity of particularly protected natural areas, such as wetlands. In an effort to protect their common oceans, the contracting parties agree on sustainable fisheries management, the conservation of important marine species, including sharks, to combat illegal fishing, and a ban on some of the most damaging fishing subsidies that affect overfished fish stocks and support illegal, unreported or unregulated fishing. They also agree to increase transparency in these grant programs and to do everything in their power not to introduce new subsidies that contribute to overfishing or overcapacity. Fredrik Erixon and Matthias Bauer of the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) write that Tufts` analysis is so flawed "that their results should not be considered reliable or realistic." [20] You write that the tufts model "is, on the whole, a demand-driven model, which makes no effort to measure the effects of trade on supply, which are the effects that turn out to be the main positive effects of trade liberalization. What is also problematic is that the model is not designed to assess the impact of trade agreements on trade – in fact, the model is deeply unsuited to such an exercise. No commercial economist, regardless of the school of thought he or she possesses, has ever used this model to make trade estimates. The reason is simple: if a model cannot predict the impact of trade liberalization on trade flows and the profile of trade, it is useless. [20] They add: "In Capaldo`s analysis, structural changes and the emergence of new industries play no role.
Capaldo implicitly assumes that an economy does not react with its work and capital and adapts to new circumstances. New competition only creates new unemployment. In addition, the impact of barrier reduction on international trade on product and process innovation is overlooked. Finally, Capaldo does not take into account the impact of competition on production costs and prices to the end consumer. [20] Robert Z. Lawrence, a Harvard economist, argues that the model used by Tufts researchers "is simply not appropriate for credibly predicting the effects of TPP" and argues that the model used by Petri and Plummer is superior. [19] Lawrence argues that the model used by Tufts researchers "does not have the granularity that allows it to assess variables such as exports, imports, foreign direct investment and changes in the industrial structure.
