The Racial Wealth Gap in America: Asset Types Held by Race

It's all always about RACE in America. By JJP
The Racial Wealth Gap
People of color have faced economic inequality for generations, and the recent wave of Black Lives Matter protests has renewed discussions on these disparities.
Compared to White families, other races have lower levels of income and net worth. They are also less likely to hold assets of any type. In fact, 19% of Black families have zero or negative net worth, while only 9% of White households have no wealth.
Today's chart uses data from the U.S. Federal Reserve's triennial Survey of Consumer Finances to highlight the racial wealth gap, and the proportion of households that own different kinds of assets by racial group.
Asset Types Held By Race
The financial profile between racial groups varies widely. Below is the percentage of U.S. families with each type of asset, according to the most recent survey from 2016.
White	Black	Hispanic	Other
Primary Residence	73%	45%	46%	54%
Vehicle	90%	73%	80%	80%
Retirement Accounts	60%	34%	30%	48%
Family-owned Business Equity	15%	7%	6%	13%
Publicly-traded Stocks	61%	31%	28%	47%
Vehicles are the most common asset across all racial groups, followed by a primary residence.
However, the level of equity—or home value less debts—families have in their houses differs by race. White families have equity of $215,800, whereas Black and Hispanic households have net housing wealth of $94,400 and $129,800 respectively.
In addition, White households are more likely to hold financial assets such as retirement accounts, family businesses, and stocks. These assets are instrumental in building wealth, and are prominent in the wealth composition of America's richest families.
With fewer people of color holding these assets, they miss out on higher average returns than low-risk assets, as well as the power of compound interest. These portfolio differences are striking, but they are not the most important contributing factor in the racial wealth gap.
Demographic and Economic Variations
White households are also more likely to have demographic characteristics that are associated with wealth. According to the U.S. Federal Reserve, they are:
Older, with more than half of households age 55 and up
More highly educated, with 51% having some type of degree
Less likely to have a single parent
More likely to have received an inheritance
For example, 39% of White heads of households have a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to 23% and 17% for Black and Hispanic household heads, respectively. However, education doesn't fully explain the wealth inequities.
Racial Wealth Gap by Education
Enormous wealth disparities exist between families with the same education level. Even in cases where Black and Hispanic household heads have obtained a bachelor's degree, their families' median wealth of $68,000 and $78,000 respectively is still lower than the $98,000 median wealth for White families where the head has no bachelor's degree.
After accounting for demographic factors, researchers still found there were considerable inequities. What, then, could be primarily responsible for the racial wealth gap?
The Income Gap
While previous research found that the wealth gap is "too big" to be explained by a difference in income, a recent study from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland offers a new perspective. Focusing on White and Black U.S. households only, researchers analyzed the dynamics of wealth accumulation over time, as opposed to previous studies that considered short time periods.
They found that income inequality was the primary contributor to the racial wealth gap. According to the model, if Black and White households had earned the same labor income from 1962 onwards, the Black-to-White wealth ratio would have reached 0.9 by 2007.
Moving forward, the study concludes that policy changes will likely have a positive impact if they address issues contributing to income gaps. This includes reducing racial discrimination in the labor market, and creating programs, such as mentorships, that improve environments for specific racial subgroups.


When we learned that Teen Wolf was coming to an end, one of the major questions on fans' minds was whether we'd see any familiar faces return to Beacon Hills before it's all over. MTV has not disappointed in that department, with the trailer for the upcoming season teasing appearances by Tyler Hoechlin (Derek), Colton Haynes (Jackson), and Charlie Carver (Ethan). During San Diego Comic-Con, we had the chance to chat with two of these fan favorites – Charlie and Colton – about coming back to the show and what being a part of Teen Wolf has meant to them.
We'll be very interested to see exactly where we pick up with Ethan and Jackson, especially because it's been years since they last appeared on Teen Wolf. We last saw Ethan during Season 3B, when he left boyfriend Danny and Beacon Hills itself behind after the death of his brother Aiden. Jackson hasn't appeared since the end of Season 2, when he successfully transforms into a werewolf (after spending the season out of control as a Kanima) and subsequently moves to London.
While we're excited to see the relationships between these two characters and all of our Teen Wolf favorites develop during 6B, there was one dynamic in particular that we were dying to know about. Given that Jackson used to date Lydia and, well, hate Stiles, what will a Jackson / Stydia reunion look like?
Watch our full interviews with Colton Haynes and Charlie Carver below for more fun Teen Wolf insight – including how Colton pranked Holland Roden about the potential reboot and whether Jackson misses Danny.
Teen Wolf premieres on Sunday, July 30 at 8pm on MTV. Don't miss our spoiler-free review of the premiere episode, "Said the Spider to the Fly" – and stay tuned for the rest of our interviews with Beacon Hills' best from SDCC!

Neighborhood groups scramble to get funds before city does
Nick Halter
Minneapolis neighborhood groups scrambled last month to grab some of the millions in funds that were allocated to them over the past decade but were frozen by the City Council Dec. 14.
One Southwest neighborhood group is prepared to hire an attorney, should the city attempt to take those funds back. A spokesman in the Mayor's office said the city has no plans to recapture the money.
At issue is about $17 million in unused funds that were allocated to neighborhoods as part of the city's Neighborhood Revitalization Program. That money was supposed to be for neighborhoods to carry out "action plans" to engage the community, improve housing stock and set up programs to build a better city.
But the City Council froze those funds in order to get budget relief for the next few years. The city in 2011 raised taxes by 4.7 percent.
Neighborhood groups found out about the proposal to freeze the funds three days before the Council voted and buried the city with paperwork for contracting out what money was left for them.
Bob Cooper, who handles NRP accounting for the city, said he wouldn't know how much money neighborhood groups contracted from the $17 million until mid-January due to the overload in paperwork. Some of the money is untouchable because several of the 80 neighborhood groups in Minneapolis have not yet created action plans for the money. "There was a rush of contracting activity," Cooper said. "The rule essentially was contracts that began before Council action, essentially began the contracting process, were allowed to go forward, but no new contracts would be started after the council acts were complete."
The Whittier Alliance was one such group. The group contracted out the $1.2 million remaining it had been allocated but hadn't put into contract. That money will go into funds for improving homes, rental properties and businesses — all initiatives that had been in the plans for months or years.
On top of that, the Whittier Alliance board in December voted to "keep open avenues
for exploring legal options to determine if action is warranted," said Executive Director Marian Biehn.
"[Neighborhood funding allocations] are things that you have to go on as being in place," she said. "It was a plan that was approved by the policy board, it was a plan that was approved by the City Council, and you don't expect to have them turn around and take it away."
Biehn said Whittier does not have an attorney on retainer, but "let me tell you, we're making sure we have a few names on hand," she added.
Whittier has used NRP funds over the past 20 years to improve public safety, invest in the housing stock and improve home ownership, help create Eat Street on Nicollet Avenue and help build Whittier School.
Whittier is not the only neighborhood to go after funds it had been allocated. Based on several different factors including size, income levels, housing, diversity and others, the city set allocation amounts for each neighborhood.
While Whittier was able to contract its remaining $1.2 million from a total allocation of $2.5 million, the Lyndale Neighborhood Association contracted out the roughly $200,000 remaining of its $840,000 allocation.
"We've had a lot of contracts that have been in the process since August," said Mark Hinds, the neighborhood's executive director.
Hinds said the city backstabbed the neighborhoods. He is a member of the Minneapolis Neighborhood and Community Engagement Commission that went to every neighborhood last summer to get input on how neighborhoods should be funded in the future.
Hinds said the city never hinted to him that the remaining allocated funds were in jeopardy, so none of the meetings with other neighborhoods touched on what would happen if those funds were lost.
"This was a horrible idea that came at the end of the whole process," he said. "It's completely contrary to what existing city policy had been for years, it was completely contrary to the principals of community engagement that the council has adopted."
Hinds said another issue with the NRP freeze is that it could worry some of the private donors who help Lyndale and other groups continue to
fund programs.
"I'm very concerned that some of my funders are going to look at what the Council is doing and say, 'well, we can't fund Lyndale because all this stuff is going to fall apart, because of what the city is doing,'" Hinds said.
He did say, however, that Lyndale would be "in good shape" for at least the next couple of years.
The city has not completely cut off funding to neighborhoods. Using the frozen NRP money, the city will dole out about $5.3 million annually between the 80 groups over the next couple years, Cooper said. But no funding plan is in place for when the frozen NRP money dries up, likely in 2013.
Hinds said unstable funding for neighborhoods could put in jeopardy a program that has won national praise since its inception 20 years ago.
"We take small amounts, overall, of city funding and we leverage it, and we leverage it by raising tons of other money," Hinds said. "We raise it by getting all sorts of volunteers involved. We leverage it by helping create this sense of identity that's really important to keep people in the city, and everything we do gets invested directly back into making Minneapolis a better place to live and work."

Eyes Without a Face (Georges Franju, 1960)
Filed under: 1960s, Drama, Horror, Thriller |
The concept's not gonna win any humanistic subtlety awards: crazed surgeon and his loyal assistant kidnap beautiful young women and remove their faces with the hope of repairing the mangled remains of his once-beautiful daughter's face. It's Frankenstein-esque pulp fiction you'd expect from the B-est of B movies. And indeed, few if any of the characters in "Eyes Without a Face" have any redeeming qualities: Pierre Brasseur's Professor Génessier is the epitome of your typical mad scientist (without the Colin Clive-esque overacting at least), and Alida Valli is his Igor (a very, very beautiful Igor, but a deranged Igor nonetheless). Hell, even the Professor's scarred daughter, the sympathetic Christiane, ain't exactly innocence incarnate, willingly sitting by as dad carves up pretty, innocent faces like they're turkeys on Thanksgiving.
But, there's some artsy substance behind that lurid concept. When you're not seeing one of the professor's not-so-voluntary procedures on his "patient" (in a scene whose candidness and attention to detail would be stomach-churning even by today's standards), you've got a slow-paced, artsy little thriller whose creepiness subtly oozes out. There's that opening scene where Alida Valli drives a victim, face concealed, to her final "resting place", with Maurice Jarre's deceptively jolly score giving the scene that extra creepiness. Or, there's those long stretches of Christiane wandering around that creepy mansion, where even the elegant living room is made ominous via shadows and clever lighting, and where her father's laboratory and dog kennel is something out of an expressionistic nightmare.
Some of that gets too slow and repetitive, as does much of the rest of the movie, like the dull police investigation featuring Christiane's good-for-nothing love interest, and pretty much all of the acting is wooden and leaves a lot to be desired. Hell, in the end the best "performance" in the whole thing was by an inanimate mask. Yes, seen from afar, Christiane's mask would be mistaken for an actual face, but close up it's an eerie anti-face, fixed in something resembling a mix of apathy, contempt, curiosity, and all other unsettling emotions. It's representative of Christiane's crumbling humanity at the hands of her father, and how she sees herself…after all, in one touching scene the only ones she can confide in are the dogs, who are incapable of judging her by her appearance. How appropriate that the horror that is her ruined face is left to our imagination, and in its place is a blank slate that's a hell of a lot more representative of the fragility of the human soul than some arbitrarily gruesome prosthetics and makeup. "Eyes Without a Face" is an uneven film, often maddeningly slow-paced and stiffly acted (case in point, the shockingly sudden and bizarre ending), but one that at least sets itself apart from a single genre like "horror" or "drama" or "art film" in cleverly combining all those and more: it's a "horror" film that, for better or worse, doesn't just make you jump or cringe, but makes you think.

A disorienting legal hangover
Married same-sex couples sort out finances after DOMA and Prop 8 rulings
By Brandon Matheson Jul 16, 2013, 11:07 AM EDT
The New York Times' editorial board says SCOTUS has created a "mean and irrational patchwork" for married same-sex couples crossing state borders.
Same-sex married couples across the United States are sorting out their personal finances following last month's historic rulings affecting gay marriage.
The Supreme Court of the United States on June 26 struck down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California's Proposition 8.
Many gay couples now face a "disorienting legal hangover as they try to assess the ruling's effect on their personal finances," writes Lyndsay Wise, a reporter with McClatchy news service's Washington bureau.
"Now that the court has ruled, the confusion hinges on whether government agencies will use a 'place of celebration' or a 'state of residence' rule to determine which federal protections, programs and responsibilities apply to same-sex couples," Wise reports.
She says it's unclear how the court rulings will affect the more than 1,100 federal laws tied to marital status. Some effects were detailed last month in the Time magazine article "How the DOMA Ruling Will Affect Gay Couples."
The New York Times' editorial board was more pointed, noting a net result of the rulings "emphasize the lingering inequality for millions of gay and lesbian Americans."
In the July 14 editorial "The Future of Same-Sex Marriage," The Times states that the ruling on Proposition 8 has perpetuated "a mean and irrational patchwork in which duly wed couples may not be considered married when they cross state borders."
"By disposing of the California case on narrow procedural grounds, the Supreme Court avoided the necessary reckoning about the fundamental violation of equal protection created by state laws that prohibit same-sex couples from marrying."
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court of California on July 15 rejected a request for an immediate halt to same-sex marriages made by the sponsors of Proposition 8. The one-sentence ruling signals there is little chance the sponsors will be able to resurrect the state's voter-approved ban on gay marriage.

Our Spirituality
Evangelization Ministry
Formation Ministry
Programme List
The legacy of our Congregation is the basis for our identity. Yet, as the world keeps changing and as new needs emerge in the society where we are placed, we seek to make our methods creative, competent, and communitarian. The spirit of our commitment is generative, empowering the weak.
We inherit these characteristics from our Foundress Mother Gnanamma who listened to the cry of the illiterate women of Kilacheri and wiped away their tears by her spontaneous and liberating response. She was solely inspired by the Spirit of the Lord who carried the cross to free the oppressed.
As needs expand, we continue to respond to the challenges of the times with trust and courage. We reclaim and confirm the core values that form the identity of our Congregation in our life and mission.
Sensitive towards reality
We are sensitive to the cry of the people by being rooted in the charism of the Congregation and guided by the vision of our Mother Gnanamma. The God of the Bible is a God who hears the cries of the people and takes sides with them in their struggle. It is God who sees, hears, feels the pain of the people and acts to deliver them, calling people both to announce God's intervention and to share that pain together with God. Hence, our mission is to respond to the suffering of a people who struggle to achieve justice. Through our union with the Lord Jesus Christ, we are emboldened to act to alleviate the people's suffering.
We realize that we should make our religious life relevant in the age of secularization of sacred lives. The world is changing apace. Technology moved lives and human activities rapidly. Media changed the ways people live their lives. The onslaught of advertisements and cinematic visual culture overwhelmed all that we cherish as tradition, culture and value system. In this context, we were called to make our life count. That relevance could come only by evolving a Christian counter - culture to stand up to consumer culture. We became women on the move, ready to go anywhere in the world like the disciples who were sent out by Jesus.
Welcoming the changes
Creativity becomes the basis of our being and doing. We make a deep commitment to creative changes. This approach and drive are based on our Mother Gnanamma who wanted to transcend the reality of Kilacheri in 1880s. She wanted to transform the girls to make them go beyond their homes and change their life of slavery into one of freedom. If we refuse to go beyond the life and mission in which we are involved now, we will defeat the very purpose of the founding of the Congregation. The change we cause in the lives of people is creative. This creativity refers to generating life in the places where culture of death once prevailed. We focus on the positive dimension of life - giving activities. Wherever we go, we enter the lives of the people who gripped by death and darkness. Apart from our own skills, we become persons who create life in death, effect light in darkness, promote peace in conflict, and promote knowledge removing ignorance.
The fundamental characteristics of our identity as the Sisters of St.Anne - Madras
01. Rootedness
Rootedness explicitly refers to our Charism "Fullness in God". Christ found unique fullness in the Father and fully manifested Him in his life said, "I am in the Father and the Father is in me" (Jn 14:10). We find fullness in God by living in Abba consciousness. Our roots are in the original charism of our Congregation that we are women who vow to lead a consecrated life that is rooted in the fullness in God and service in simplicity.
"Fullness in God" is our vision and "Service in simplicity" is our mission.'Fullness' means our total communion with God that makes us feel the presence of God which we can experience in our thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds. This communion flows into service in simplicity that makes us commit to the liberation of women. We participate in their struggle through educating them to become masters of their own life, and by doing so we help them free from being the objects of wickedly manipulative structures of the society at large.
02. Involvement
"Service in simplicity" exhorts us to move towards total involvement in our ministries. The rootedness in the charism impels us and sensitizes to the cry of the people, especially women, who struggle daily to free themselves from the chains of domination and manipulation. This listening to the cry is not simply hearing the sound of the crying, but means 'feeling into the people (empathy) who suffer and who are in need of our service. 'This involves more our heart (our emotions), than our head (our intellect).
In our solidarity with the poor, we enter into their world by experiencing the suffering with them.We discern and analyze the situation and guide people to take up joint action to challenge the structural injustice. We defend and empower those who are denied full human dignity. We may have to take a life-long effort with no guarantee of short-term success. Our every effort springs from the depths of the heart that connects us with the people emotionally. This is the way Mother Gnanamma felt the pain in her heart of the girls and women of Kilacheri village that guided her to found the Congregation.

A juvenile great white beached itself while trying to catch seagulls off Chatham, Massachusetts. Thanks to the harbor master and beach-goers, this shark was saved.
One shark's attempt to grab a quick bite landed him in serious trouble, as this great white became beached on Massachusetts' Cape Cod after attempting to catch seagulls.
Beachgoers splashed the writhing predator with buckets of water in an attempt to keep the shark wet and cool before the local harbour master arrived on the scene.
Harbour master Stuart Smith told the Associated Press that around 40 people were crowded around the shark when he arrived and it appeared dead.
After nearly an hour and a half of being beached, the animal was dragged back into the sea and life returned to the young shark. It was promptly tagged with a GPS device and escorted to open waters, where it swam to freedom.

Dartford 1-2 Chelmsford City - They want to get into a battle with you and they try to wear you down and in the end they have, says Dartford boss Tony Burman
Dartford 1 – 2 Chelmsford City
Princes Park Stadium, Grassbanks, Darenth Road, Dartford, Kent DA1 1RT
DARTFORD 1-2 CHELMSFORD CITY
(Chelmsford City win 2-1 on aggregate)
Vanarama National League South Play-Off Semi-Final Second Leg
Stephen McCartney reports from Princes Park Stadium
DARTFORD manager Tony Burman says his side lost their battle against a direct Chelmsford City side.
Rod Stringer's men booked their place in Saturday's Vanarama National League South Promotion Final at Ebbsfleet United, the league runners-up, who beat seventh-placed finishers Hampton & Richmond Borough 4-2 on aggregate.
Dartford came away from Melbourne Park with a goal-less draw in last Wednesday's First Leg, but they couldn't find the quality to beat a Chelmsford City side that spent most of the game hitting the ball in the air, grabbing shirts and performing dark arts.
It took 160 minutes of football in the tie for Chelmsford City to smash the deadlock when former Bromley striker Louie Theopahnous buried his free header to score his ninth goal of the season for the Essex club.
Hundreds of vocal travelling fans were celebrating when Chris Dickson, 32, drilled home the clinching goal on the break with five minutes remaining, before Dartford scored a late consolation through striker Duane Ofori-Acheampong's tenth goal of the campaign.
"We're disappointed with the result, yes, but I've got to remember we've done brilliantly to get where we are and the players' have done brilliantly to get where we are," said Burman, after his side finished in third-place with 84 points in the bag from their 42 games.
"I thought it was a better game than what it was in the first leg for both sides. They play in a way where you've to try to match it but once you've matched it you've got to hope your quality comes through.
"First half, I thought we did in spells but that elusive goal didn't come for us and that's what we needed. I wanted us to take the lead against Chelmsford because I think it would've been a different type of game, we would've got our just rewards if we would've done."
A crowd of 2,622 flocked through the turnstiles at Princes Park Stadium and they were treated to an awful game of football. The pitch was in pristine condition but both sides failed to keep the ball on the deck and utilise it.
Dartford midfielder Alex Brown fed recalled right-back Danny Harris, who got in behind down by the by-line and his low first time cross was gathered by visiting keeper Ross Fitzsimons, who grabbed hold of the ball as Ofori-Acheampong slid in at the near post after 64 seconds.
But clear cut goalscoring chances were at a premium, despite Dartford starting the game on the front foot.
Ryan Hayes whipped a trademark left-footed free-kick around the top of the far post after he was pulled down by Chelmsford left-back Luke Daley, who kept on grabbing the Dartford winger's white shirt on numerous occasions in an attempt to keep Dartford's threat quiet.
Chelmsford City were keen to hit long balls out of defence to hit the right channel often, with most balls going behind for goal-kicks.
And Chelmsford central defender Chris Bush went up to deliver nine long throws into the Dartford penalty area during this uninspiring game.
Bush launched his third long throw into the box, which was cleared out and Robbie Willmott smashed his shot from the edge of the penalty area which crashed against the roof of the stand behind the goal.
Dartford's best chance of the first half, however, arrived in the 34th minute.
They won a free-kick 35-yards from goal after Bush pushed Ofori-Acheampong and Hayes chipped the resulting free-kick into a crowded box.
Brown ghosted into the box and his looping header was pushed up by Fitzsimons, high to his right, and the ball dipped down at the far post and Elliot Bradbrook kicked Harris in the face before Harris nodded the ball against the near post from on the line. Harris ended up strangled in the goal-net. Sadly, the ball didn't.
"The deliveries into the box from corners and set-pieces were decent enough and we should've taken the lead but we didn't," said Burman, 58, who took over from Tommy Sampson back in 2005.
"Danny got kicked in the face from Elliot. It's irrelevant. They're the chances that have got to go in and they haven't. I think we needed to take the lead against Chelmsford, that's for sure!"
Former Bromley midfielder Max Porter easily went down from Andy Pugh's challenge 30-yards from goal and Deren Ibrahim made a brilliant save from the resulting free-kick in the 39th minute.
Willmott powered a right-footed swerving free-kick over the wall and Ibrahim had stepped to his right but reacted superbly to move to his left to use his left hand to prevent the moving ball from crashing into the back of the net.
"We know what he can do and Deren's done his bit, he's saved it. There weren't a load of chances," added Burman.
Dartford were more likely to score from a set-piece as Bush and Joshua Hill kept Ofori-Acheampong and Pugh, who was playing behind him, quiet.
Hayes chipped in another free-kick into the box and Ronnie Vint came up from the back to glance his header across goal and past the far post from 12-yards.
When asked about his thoughts at the break, Burman said: "I thought we done ever so well in the first half and we still had to match their effort and have still got to match what they do. What we didn't want to happen is for someone, all off a sudden, to make a mistake."
The second half had to improve and Chelmsford City came out the better side during a vastly improved performance from Stringer's men.
Bush lobbed in his eighth long throw, Harris headed the ball away to Dickson, who rolled the ball back out to Bush, who cut into the box before drilling his left-footed shot against the base of the near post from 12-yards.
"I think we've handled their aerial power and their throw-ins and the balls into the box," said Burman.
"I'm not knocking it, that's what we have to do and we've done it but we've matched Chelmsford for effort and we've matched Chelmsford in all (six games)."
On the post and bar saving his side, Burman admitted: "That's when they were on top in the second half. They got on top and when they got on top put us under a hell of a lot of pressure and they hit the post. It's still 0-0 then and it gave them a little bit of a lift at that time."
Bush's final throw was met by Dickson's rising near-post header from 10-yards, which skimmed the top of the crossbar before going behind for a goal-kick.
Burman was left frustrated when Ofori-Acheampong's pass released Pugh through on goal and the striker dragged his angled shot across the keeper and past the far post in the 58th minute of this uninspiring stalemate.
"Pughie's gone through as well, that's a chance and he's not hit the target," said Burman.
"We needed to score and we didn't. I'm just thinking we had the chances to go in the lead and I think we needed to take the lead against Chelmsford."
Nothing was falling for Dartford in front of goal. Substitute Lee Noble laid the ball inside to Bradbrook, who smacked his first time 30-yard drive high over the bar and hitting the roof of the stand.
But the Dartford captain, who was starting his 351st game for the club, had a glorious chance to change the outcome of the game.
Hayes whipped in a deep cross from the right which sailed towards the far post for left-winger Luke Wanadio to head back across the face of goal and Bradbrook hooked a weak shot into Fitzsimons hands for a comfortable save.
"They're all the half chances that we've had but to win games you've got to put the ball in to the back of the net and we haven't done that," added Burman.
But a mistake from Dartford defender Tom Bonner gifted Chelmsford City the lead, the goal timed at 24:24 on the clock.
Chelmsford played the ball down the right channel and Dickson chased a lost cause. Bonner came across and failed to clear the ball away and Dickson cut inside him and from the by-line he floated in a great cross into the centre of the goal where an unmarked Theophanous buried his header into the centre of the goal from six-yards.
Burman said: "It was our throw-on and it's come to a couple of our players and we haven't held on to it and once we haven't held onto it it's gone down to the corner and the fella's turned Tom and you can go on and on. At the end of the day they've had a chance and they've scored.
"As much as Tom got turned, we lost the ball previous to when Tom got turned and if I want to question it and be critical, who was marking (Theophanous) and where's our defence?
"They want to get into a battle with you and they try to wear you down and in the end they have."
Burman made a double substitution by bringing on Tom Murphy and Alfie Pavey to flank central striker Ofori-Acheampong with 13 minutes remaining, changing formation to 4-3-3, but they offered nothing.
Chelmsford City hit Dartford with a clinical breakaway goal, timed at 39 minutes and 9 seconds on the clock.
Rees, from inside the centre circle, released Dickson, who raced from the halfway line, cut into the box and drilled his right-footed shot across Ibrahim into the far corner from 12-yards when he only had the keeper to beat.
"He (Dickson) played well today, he played every so well for them but I think we've handled him in the games we've played but I think we've handled him reasonably well. He was quiet on Wednesday.
"It was a great finish! We've lost possession again of the ball up front, one of our players has lost it, miss-controlled it and it's given them a goal, while we're trying to press forward."
Ofori-Acheampong was put through on goal but lashed his shot over the crossbar when he only had Fitzsimons to beat.
But Dartford scored a consolation goal, three minutes and 31 seconds into time added on, which proved to be too little too late on this disappointing day.
Vint put a cross into the box, the ball was knocked down by Bradbrook and Ofori-Acheampong drove his right-footed shot across the keeper, the ball nestling into the bottom far corner of the net.
"It's a good finish but it's too late," admitted Burman.
"We needed to take the lead from Chelmsford and that's it."
Dartford finished 14 points adrift of promoted champions Maidenhead United and 12 adrift of Ebbsfleet United, who will be favourites against Chelmsford City at Stonebridge Road on Saturday.
Dartford keeper Ibrahim, 26, was a dejected figure afterwards.
"My thoughts? How long have you got? As I said to the lads it is one of those things. I could be sitting here absolutely over the moon and going into a Play-Off Final on Saturday, we're not!
"Devastated. The club's devastated. Everyone's devastated. It is part and parcel of football. One team's got to win and to be fair the two games weren't the best game of football. You can't say we popped it, they popped it. It was a game of two affective teams and unfortunately they've come out on top yet again."
Chelmsford City have now come away from Dartford with three wins from their three visits in all competitions this season. This was the two club's sixth meeting this season.
"Of course, it's hard to lose a play-off. It's gutting for the club. You've seen how hard everyone works in the league leading up to it but it's one of those things, it really is," added the Gibraltar International.
"We could've scored early on when we were on top in the first half. I thought we were on top in the first half and it could've bene a totally different story. We never and they got the first goal. We knew the first goal would be important."
Reflecting on his first half save from Willmott's free-kick, Ibrahim added: "That's what I'm there to do, try to make saves, try to come for crosses and try to set up some attacks but that save, yes, it was nice but we lost the game."
On being beaten by Theophanous' bullet header, Ibrahim said: "It's just a fella in the six-yard box! There's nothing, you're not going to look back. We should've dealt with the first ball. We should've really held it up and then we should've probably been tighter in the box. He's taken the goal well.
"It (their second goal) was on the break. We're chasing the game and he's one-v-one and then he's put it in the corner of the goal. There's not a lot you can do. What do you do? Keep the 10 men behind the ball and keep it tight for the last minute? We had to go for it. It's disappointing to concede on the break but that's football."
Speaking about Ofori-Acheampong's late consolation, Ibrahim said: "He had one just before that when he's hit it over and he's in a similar position so from a personal point of view for Duane it's great for him to score in another big game. He's been outstanding for us this year."
Play-offs are cruel when you lose in one but Ibrahim is proud that Dartford have met their targets in the Vanarama National League South this season.
"We hit the target Tony set and that was 84 points over the course of the season," said the keeper.
"If you look back at it we should've really got more points. If we're being totally upfront and honest with ourselves, probably a couple of draws where we might've (won). Oxford away, Concord away, we should've got three points there. You never know what could've happened but third place was outstanding for us but we felt we were capable of winning this play-off. We didn't come here just to make up numbers. We're coming here to give it a right good push but unfortunately we just fell short.
"This club has got the makings to go on, look around it, the stadium, the fans. I thought the fans were excellent, they got behind us as much as we needed."
Chelmsford skipper Bush taunted the home fans at the final whistle and one lowlife chav in a grey tracksuit and black baseball cap jumped over the perimeter fencing to confront him.
"Listen, it's very, very emotional and it's very, very stressful being involved in play-off's…," said Burman.
"One or two people on both sides should've conducted themselves better and supporters. I think it was a supporter if anything else. It's not turned into a nasty scene, I think it was just some verbal that went on but it's very difficult for people to control their feelings when your team has lost, especially in a play-off. Overall, it was played in the right spirit."

Delegation of the European Union to Armenia
EEAS homepage > Armenia > Grants opportunities: Peacebuilding through Capacity Enhancement and Civic Engagement (PeaCE)
Grants opportunities: Peacebuilding through Capacity Enhancement and Civic Engagement (PeaCE)
The 'Peacebuilding through Capacity Enhancement and Civic Engagement' (PeaCE) programme is funded by the European Union under the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP). Eurasia Partnership Foundation in Armenia (EPF-Armenia), Eurasia Partnership Foundation in Azerbaijan (EPF-Azerbaijan) through Caucasus Research Resource Centre in Georgia (CRRC-Georgia), and International Alert (IA) have been implementing the PeaCE programme since January 2017. The duration of the PeaCE program is 36 months, and the overall budget is EUR 1,860,000.
The PeaCE programme aims to re-engage Armenians and Azerbaijanis from geographic areas affected by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in peacebuilding activities, as well as revive the peacebuilding process within and between these societies. The PeaCE programme expects that interested civil society actors and grassroots will be able to contribute to bridging the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict divide via implementing innovative in-country, bilateral or multilateral peacebuilding initiatives.
The PeaCE programme comprises the following three major components:
a) Sub-grants/Sub-contracts
The implementing partners will provide Sub-grants/Sub-contracts to civil society actors for proposals that can significantly contribute to the objectives of the PeaCE programme. Sub-grants/Sub-contracts will be awarded under the following three categories: Travel Funds Opportunity, Peacebuilding Funds Opportunity and Invited Funds Opportunity. Travel Funds will be provided to individuals who need funding to meet up with each other to discuss peacebuilding initiatives. Peacebuilding Funds will be provided to actors who propose viable peacebuilding initiatives. Invited Funds will be provided to targeted actors who have a clear and relevant strategy to implement peacebuilding initiatives.
b) CSO Capacity-building
EPF will use its methodology for measuring and strengthening the internal capacities of local NGOs, which includes the Capacity Enhancement Tool (CET) and CSO Management School. Beneficiaries of Sub-grants/Sub-contracts will have an opportunity to undergo an evaluation via CET to check the internal organizational capacities and the capability to implement a project of the proposed complexity. Some of the beneficiaries will be offered a capacity-building opportunity through participation in the CSO Management Schools or in a prolonged mentoring focusing on improving beneficiaries' financial and project management skills, specifically related to the aspects of peacebuilding work.
c) Conflict Transformation School
Conflict Transformation School (CTS) aims to build a new generation of peace-builders. CTS works for building grounds for peace via expanding the peace constituency, including state employees. An important element of CTS is the informal dialogue with state actors and policy-makers, and their engagement in the capacity of speakers and discussants. CTS teaches students to become 'transformers of conflict'. One hundred and twenty young Armenians and Azerbaijanis from geographic areas affected by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will take part in the CTS in-country workshops during the term of the PeaCE programme. The CTS regional discussions will get together a select group of participants of the in-country workshops, who will discuss conflict transformation with their peers directly. These discussions will allow participants to establish personal ties, build trust, keep the dialogue on-going and elaborate on further bi-lateral peacebuilding initiatives.
Toward the end of the PeaCE programme, the implementing partners will organize an International Conference in Tbilisi, Georgia, to present the achievements and lessons learned.

It's time to shine, not give shiners
John R. Hall
The other day a Business News staff member asked my advice on who to call to give her an estimate on a new furnace and central air conditioner. Since I didn't know any contractors in her immediate neighborhood, I suggested calling on my contractor (who has serviced my furnace and central air unit in the past) and ask him who he might recommend.
She did, and called a couple of other contractors too because she wanted at least three estimates. It turned out to be quite an interesting story that shed some light on the problem with some industry contractors.
One of the contractors she called on (let's call him "Contractor A") told her the time when the company could send out a sales representative. Note the phrase told her. The woman on the other end of the line said the latest she could schedule an appointment was 3:30 p.m.
When my coworker stated that both she and her husband worked during the day and would prefer an evening appointment, the voice on the other end of the phone said her company did not schedule evening appointments.
This coworker then asked about a Saturday appointment.
The response: "We don't schedule appointments on Saturday."
To that the coworker said, "How are we supposed to do business with you?"
The response: "I don't know."
And we're supposed to be in a service industry.
"Contractor B" said they didn't come to her side of town but they had an office near her home that she could call. The coworker wanted to know if they were open on Saturday and was told, yes.
So she called. The phone rang, and rang, and rang — no answer and no answering machine. She called the company office on the other side of town and asked why no one was there or why there was no answering machine.
The response: "They're in and out a lot."
Now I know what you're saying — that these are isolated cases and it wouldn't normally happen. I know that — but they did happen. It's no wonder our industry gets a shiner every time a customer gets treated like this.
Fortunately, there is a happy ending.
My coworker was referred (by my contractor) to another company, "Contractor C," on her side of town, a consolidated contractor no less, who performed exceptional service. The sales manager called on them at night and made a professional presentation.
Armed with a "ballpark" phone estimate from Contractor A, who managed to take the time to give a quote over the phone, our coworker now made her decision to go with Contractor C. She said C was exceptional and professional and the work was done to her satisfaction.
Should we base perceptions of our trade on these examples? I say, definitely. Contractors are constantly fighting against the garage and back-of-the-van businesses that lowball them and give them a bad name. But here were two "brick-and-mortar" businesses that didn't go the extra yard for this prospective customer.
That's the stigma we must fight to remove, and I hope other contractors who know of this poor customer service in their market take this challenge:
Don't see poor customer service from a competitor as an opportunity for new business — see it as a squeak that needs oiling, and be kind enough to remind your competitor that what they do affects everyone else in the hvacr trade.
We are a service industry.

Thank God anti fossil fuelers are throwing in the towel in West Virginia–at least for this year–in their never-ending campaign to stop shale drilling in the state. A recent article appearing in the biased ProPublica and Charleston Gazette-Mail highlights antis' frustration in not getting their bills to advance in this year's legislative session–a session that is rapidly coming to a close.
Yesterday we told you that the West Virginia Surface Owners Rights Organization (SORO) is pushing a couple of bills to address the issue of abandoned and orphan wells (see WV Surface Rights Group Wants State to Enforce Plugging Old Wells). While the bills SORO is promoting have not advanced, several other bills in the WV legislature addressing the same issue have advanced. Rapidly.
Here's something we didn't know: In West Virginia there's a regulation on the books, put there decades ago (pre-shale), that stipulates wells targeting "deep" formations including the Utica Shale must be at least 3,000 feet apart.
In 2013 some 10,000 West Virginia landowners/rights owners filed a class action lawsuit against EQT over their practice of post-production deductions from royalty checks. The lawsuit was scheduled to go to trial last November, but at the last minute, it didn't. Word leaked that EQT had settled out of court (see EQT Avoids Trial, Settles WV Class Action re Royalty Deductions). Since that time we haven't heard a peep–until this morning when EQT announced the terms of a "tentative" settlement.
Let's be honest. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin (Democrat) is a swamp dweller–an establishment guy who, when it really counts, votes with his own sleazy party against the best wishes of the United States (he's done it multiple times). However, Manchin is one of the better Democrats in Congress when it comes to energy issues.
The West Virginia House Energy Committee passed a bill yesterday that appears to be picking up steam and possibly headed for approval by both the House and Senate. It's an interesting bill that allows local natural gas utilities to pay drillers to drill new gas wells in areas where there is not a reliably sufficient supply of gas.
