UBI, or Something Better?
What's odd about this discussion on Universal Basic Income below is that nobody successful in Silicon Valley participates in a UBI scheme, nor would they. They rely on risk-taking, equity, and reward. Not sure why they don't advocate this for everybody – after all, because of the way risk is assigned to asset ownership, labor ends up taking all kinds of risk, yet almost never participates in the rewards to that risk. Instead they get a one-time bonus or profit-sharing.
But Zuckerberg would never accept those terms, either now or before he made his first dollar. It looks to me that Silicon valley tech supports redistribution in order to make their outsized gains from network effects more politically palatable.
Unfortunately, this critic of Zuckerberg and Silicon Valley in general wants to double down on failed tax and redistribution schemes instead of empowering people to participate in the risks and rewards of capitalist entrepreneurial success.
"He (or She) who is without capital in a capitalist society is little more than a wage slave and a captive consumer."
Another truism about the future: In a world run by robots, he who owns and controls the robots is king. Make sure you own your robot!
What Mark Zuckerberg Gets Wrong About UBI
New Republic, July 7, 2017
By Clio Chang
It's no secret that tech bros love universal basic income. Sam Altman of Y Combinator is funding a UBI pilot program in Oakland, California, in part because he was inspired by Star Trek. Tesla's Elon Musk supports the policy because he realizes that the aggressive automation caused by the tech industry will make UBI "necessary." This week, as part of his "I'm-not-running-for-president" tour around the country, Mark Zuckerberg visited Homer, Alaska, which resulted in him writing a Facebook post lauding the merits of the state's Permanent Fund as a model for a national form of basic income.
UBI, a concept that dates back centuries, is the idea that every person should receive some amount of money so that no one dips beneath a basic standard of living. For those on the left, it's seen as an alternative to our country's woefully limited cash welfare system. For libertarians, a basic income is lauded as a slimmer, less intrusive way to deliver government benefits. It is the rare utopian idea that people of different political stripes can agree on—Zuckerberg himself made sure to note the "bipartisan" appeal of the policy in his post.
But Zuckerberg reveals exactly why the left should be alarmed that Silicon Valley is taking the lead on this issue.
First, the idea that UBI has bipartisan appeal is disingenuous. The left would have a policy that redistributes wealth by funding UBI through a more progressive tax scheme or the diverting of capital income. But libertarians like Charles Murray argue for a UBI that completely scraps our existing welfare state, including programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and housing subsidies. This would be extremely regressive, since money currently directed towards the poor would instead be spread out for a basic income for all. And certain benefits like health insurance can't effectively be replaced with cash.
Second, Zuckerberg asserts that Alaska's Permanent Fund—which uses the state's oil resources to pay a dividend to each Alaskan and is seen as one of the few examples of an actual UBI-like policy—is advantageous because it "comes from conservative principles of smaller government, rather than progressive principles of a larger safety net." But a UBI policy can only reflect small government principles if one envisions it eating into the country's existing welfare state, rather than coming on top of it. In this respect, Zuckerberg's advocacy of UBI "bipartisanship" starts to look more like a veiled libertarian agenda.
This attitude echoes other pro-UBI tech lords like Altman, who sees basic income as providing a "floor" but not a ceiling. In his ideal scheme, no one will be very poor, but people like Altman will still be free to get "as rich as they fucking want." The tech vision of the world is one where it can wash its hands of the rising joblessness it will generate through automation, but where those at the top can still wallow in extreme wealth. As Altman told Business Insider, "We need to be ready for a world with trillionaires in it, and that's always going to feel deeply unfair. It feels unfair to me. But to drive society forward, you've got to let that happen."
This is deeply telling of the tech UBI mentality: driving society forward doesn't mean reducing inequality, but rather fostering more entrepreneurship. The former is viewed as unnecessary and the latter as an inherent good.
Zuckerberg also compares Alaska's Permanent Fund to running a business—a very specific one:
Seeing how Alaska put this dividend in place reminded me of a lesson I learned early at Facebook: organizations think profoundly differently when they're profitable than when they're in debt. When you're losing money, your mentality is largely about survival. But when you're profitable, you're confident about your future and you look for opportunities to invest and grow further. Alaska's economy has historically created this winning mentality, which has led to this basic income. That may be a lesson for the rest of the country as well.
The idea that a "winning mentality" is what is going to lead to a basic income in the United States reveals how little Zuckerberg understands about politics. This is a pervasive ideology among tech leaders, who believe the lessons that they have gleaned from their own industry are applicable to all of the country's problems. But remember the last time a disrupter said he was going to step into the political arena and run our country like a business?
For moguls like Zuckerberg, there is never any deep consideration of, say, the fact that racism, sexism, and classism are deeply intertwined with our country's policies and are some of the biggest obstacles to implementing a highly redistributive policy like a UBI. Nor is there any attempt to consult with lifelong organizers and activists on the issue.
At the end of his post, Zuckerberg states that the "most effective safety net programs create an incentive or need to work rather than just giving a handout." This echoes the "personal responsibility" rhetoric that drove workfare policies in the 1990s, which ended up kicking millions of people off of welfare rolls, leaving them in extreme poverty. The line also directly undermines the push for a UBI, which is quite literally a handout that can help liberate people from the "need to work."
It would appear that Silicon Valley's support for a basic income comes from self-interest. As Jathan Sadowski writes in the Guardian, "the trouble comes when UBI is used as a way of merely making techno-capitalism more tolerable for people, when it is administered like a painkiller that numbs the pain and masks the symptoms of economic injustice without addressing the root causes of exploitation and inequality."
Tech moguls may seem like tempting allies for UBI advocates, but their vision of an ideal social safety net does not look anything like the left's. If it did, they wouldn't be pushing just for a basic income, but also for things like universal health care, free public education (not just for engineers!), and strong labor unions. For Silicon Valley, UBI is a sleek technological means to a very different end.

House of Cards: Truth Stranger Than Fiction
As a political economist and policy analyst I have to say I've found the NetFlix series, House of Cards very entertaining. Of course, it is over the top with political sleaze and corruption, something that probably syncs well with the public's impression of Washington politics these days. (I find it interesting that the writers chose to designate the depraved, murderous POTUS Frank Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey, as a big "D" Democrat. With an annoyingly ambitious, self-righteous wife as co-president – sound familiar? Apparently, depravity with good intentions is somewhat acceptable these days in partisan circles, with Underwood often turning to the audience to explain the bare facts of Machiavellian realpolitik. How unfortunate for poor Niccolo, who was a true republican patriot, but recast by history as the apologist for a ruthless, depraved Prince.)
I have been most amused by Season 3, where Pres. Underwood proposes a massive jobs program paid for by slashing entitlements. This is just too juicy to let pass unnoticed. Let's translate this "promise" of a full employment Nirvana: "I'm going to take your hard earned money we extorted through Social Security and Medicare taxes and give it away to companies that will employ workers for jobs that the productive private economy will not create because they lose money. Isn't that grand? We'll all feel better about humanity, even though we'll be poorer for it (all except me, that is)."
The irony is that this absurd fiction is actually proposed too often as serious politics in the real Washington D.C. Quite a few other bloggers have explained the surrealness of a POTUS creating jobs from whole cloth just because he can command it from the White House. The numbers just don't add up. But I was struck more by the widely accepted premise that asserts "jobs" as the end-all of what ails a society of free citizens. The Underwood character actually says, "People are dying from unemployment!" This cuts pretty close to home with Obama recently claiming that "chanting 'Death to America' does not create jobs." Really? Is that what they're beheading innocents over, a few good jobs?
People don't die from unemployment, they die from poverty, deprivation, and disease. They die from oppression and violence. Unproductive jobs subsidized by governments do not alleviate poverty, they merely spread poverty around. The thing is, politicians focus on jobs because that is the only way they know how to spread the benefits of capitalism around the population. But we are moving into a new age that departs from the skilled labor-intensive manufacturing of the post-WWII years. Our financial policies have accelerated this trend away from labor by providing cheap capital to take advantage of cheaper labor overseas or machine/robot substitution. We are entering the information, artificial intelligence, and robotics age, and yet our politicians are still making false promises of a job and two chickens in every pot. Not going to happen. We need to think outside that box to discover how we are going to create and share wealth in the new economy. There are many alternative ways to participate in a market economy than solely as a labor input.
In the meantime, enjoy the entertainment. It's hilarious. But don't expect a job from America Works.

Innovation is not for the faint of heart. The term has a desirable and exciting ring, but, beware, innovation frequently arrives in the guise of a sudden crisis, an economic downturn, a boneheaded coworker, an irate customer, or a disruptive technology. Usually, only by hindsight can we see that the events that forced our hand led to innovation.
Often innovation is driven by people or companies from outside an industry. The big stakeholders resist it and prefer to stick with established practices.
Sometimes change is mistaken for innovation. However, change is only innovation if it leads to improvements. If it doesn't, it is only change.
For Localization World Barcelona 2011 and Silicon Valley 2011, we are looking for proposals that show innovation in all its forms at work: forced, accidental or even "planned," if such a thing exists.
Tell us how you innovated your global business practices, your translation and localization processes, or how you manage your global websites. Be boastful and innovative. Surprise us.
If the results of your innovation drive are not yet ready for show time, but you know about others whose accomplishments you admire, please tell us about them. We might contact them to see if they are interested in presenting at Localization World.
The theme is not meant to restrict the content of the conference. We encourage presenters to submit proposals that fit with the general taxonomy of the Localization World conferences.
Please submit your presentation online.
Publication Normally, all presentations are made available to registered Localization World attendees. We might also videotape some presentations to make them available as streaming video after the conference.
Speaker Registration All speakers and panelists are entitled to free admission to the conference on the day of their session. Speakers will need to register for Localization World using the discount code e-mailed to you before the conference.
Review of Presentation Proposals All papers submitted will be reviewed and evaluated by the Localization World Program Committee. The Program Committee may also suggest the formation of new panels and invite speakers for the conference.
A word of friendly advice to save you from disappointment: If you are a supplier of goods and services and considering submitting a proposal, be advised that without a client co-presenter your proposal stands little chance of being accepted by the advisory board.


Hi there! Thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet.
I originally started blogging back in 2012 as a way of updating my friends and family on a trip to Chile. The travel bug – and the blogging bug – didn't let up, though, so the blog continues.
Hi Laura, thanks for visiting The Glasgow Gallivanter. Nice to meet you! I've been paying you a return visit and was interested to find we'd been to some of the same places. We went to the Canadian Rockies last year and included Kananaskis and a trip to the Badlands, both of which I loved.
Hi Anabel, nice to meet you too! Thanks for your comment. Glad to hear you had such a good experience in Kananaskis and the Badlands too. I'm planning another trip to Canada this year, but to the opposite side of the country—looking forward to it!
Thank you for your recent visit to my blog and the follow. I'll be following back on the perchance of seeing a few of the places hubby and I saw on our travels. That old bug should bites, doesn't it!
Doesn't it just! I like following travel blogs and seeing places that I've visited in the past, too. I'm always left with a, "maybe I should go back there again soon," idea, though!

Spanish Broiler Production Expected to Remain Flat
by Alice Mitchell
13 November 2015, at 12:00am
SPAIN - Whilst egg exports from Spain are doing extremely well, broiler production is expected to remain level through this year and the next due to low returns, according to the latest report from the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service.
Since 2007, there has been a downward trend in the number of broiler farms in Spain, but the remaining farms have become more effective and efficient. Feed price decreases and an expected higher demand on domestic consumption led to an increase in broiler production by 10 per cent in 2014 compared with the previous year.
However, it is expected for 2015 and 2016 that Spanish broiler production will remain flat, mainly due to the low economic margins received by broiler producers. Producers report that the retail chains are pressing too much on final prices to broiler producers, which is causing the closure of many farms.
The report says Spanish broiler production represents 11.1 per cent of the total EU broiler meat production, the fourth European producer after Poland, UK and Germany.
Regarding egg production, Spain has restructured the egg sector after the implementation of the last EU Animal Welfare regulation in 2012, and 93 per cent of egg farms use enriched cages.
Spain's egg production registers a structural surplus of eggs that in 2014 reached almost 123 per cent, even though the country produced 1 per cent less eggs than the previous year.
Spain is then a net exporter of eggs and in 2014 exports were up 21 per cent with 187,000 tons.
Spanish egg per capita consumption was reported at 13.1 kg/year, continuing a downward trend of recent years, making egg exports even more important.
Spain started exporting eggs to the United States in July 2015 in response to the shortage of eggs caused by the avian influenza outbreaks. Approximately 6 per cent of Spanish egg exports are now going to the United States, representing the largest country exporting eggs to the US.

The first stage of our process is to create a specific project that meets the enrollment needs of the clinical trial and match it to a nonprofits' fundraising goals.
How big is the study? Have other recruitment efforts failed? What are specific potential problems?
Where are the clinical sites located by zip code? We coordinate nonprofit fundraising for the study just to those recruitment areas.
What are the fundraising goals of the nonprofit? How big is their contact list? We coordinate the demand of the study recruitment to the size and need of the nonprofits to get the best results.
We draft an IRB approved letter for the specific study and have it approved by the nonprofit as well.
Once we have established the needs of the clinical study and goals the nonprofit fundraising effort, we then have the nonprofit organizations send the informational email promoting the study to all of their recipients.
Each email recipient can forward the email to their own email list to help promote and amplify clinical trial participation and fundraising efforts.
In addition to information about the clinical trial (and the importance of clinical trials in general), there is a "Do I Qualify?" button that potential interested patients can click which takes them to a HIPPA secure site to further screen them as potential candidates.
The people who click "Do I Qualify?" are sent to a secure server for further customized screening. Passing those, they are referred to a local clinical research site for a screening appointment.
For each screening appointment scheduled, the study Sponsor/CRO pays the nonprofit (via the CliniSpan Health portal).
Instead of wasting valuable resources on ineffective advertising campaigns, the study dollars are UpCycled back into the community nonprofits as part of their fundraising campaign.

Rock-like chapel of sound designed in Chinese valley
Thanks to its sensory design, OPEN Architecture's open-air concert hall appears to emerge from the landscape.
The Chapel of Sound, a monolithic open-air concert hall hidden in a rural valley in Chengde, two hours northeast of Beijing, was completed by OPEN Architecture.
The building, which resembles a naturally occurring rock formation erupting from the terrain, is made of concrete mixed with an aggregate of local mineral-rich rocks. The structure, designed in partnership with Arup, comprises an inner and outer shell, and each striation cantilevers out from the preceding layer to form an inverted cone shape.
The Chapel of Sound features a semi-outdoor amphitheater, outdoor stage, green room, and a rooftop platform with views of the surrounding hilly scenery and nearby ruins of the Ming Dynasty-era Great Wall. While the structure was built to enhance the musical experience, the architects also envisioned it as a place for leisure and connection with nature.
'We were very aware of the responsibility we had to contribute a thoughtful structure that fits naturally into such a unique landscape,' remark OPEN's founding partners Li Hu and Huang Wenjing. 'We wanted to create something different, and more importantly, something meaningful… The symphony of nature is what we really wanted people to experience here.'
The architects were inspired by how sound reverberates in natural places such as caverns and examined sound behavior as an inspiration for the building's shape. Working with acoustic specialists, OPEN created apertures in the structure that serve as sound absorption zones and a link to the outside world.
790 sq m open-air building has no heating or air-conditioning, so it requires very little energy – even though it is connected to the power grid to provide both practical and dramatic lighting, most of which is LED and weatherproof.
Natural elements may enter via the structure's apertures, including a gap in the center of the rooftop that allows daylight to permeate the performance rooms. In addition, bronze accents for elements such as handrails and doors are employed on the inside to provide a warm contrast against the concrete. However, they will inevitably weather with time.

Effect of commercial airline travel on oxygen saturation in athletes
This article has a correction. Please see:

Background: Aircraft cabins are pressurised to maximum effective altitudes of 2440 metres, resulting in significant decline in oxygen saturation in crew and passengers. This effect has not been studied in athletes.
Objective: To investigate the degree of decline in oxygen saturation in athletes during long-haul flights.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study. National-level athletes were recruited. Oxygen saturation and heart rate were measured with a pulse oximeter at sea level before departure, at 3 and 7 hours into the flight, and again after arrival at sea level. Aircraft cabin pressure and altitude, cabin fraction of inspired oxygen and true altitude were also recorded.
Results: 45 athletes and 18 healthy staff aged between 17 and 70 years were studied on 10 long-haul flights. Oxygen saturation levels declined significantly after 3 hours and 7 hours (3–4%), compared with sea level values. There was an associated drop in cabin pressure and fraction of inspired oxygen, and an increase in cabin altitude.
Conclusions: Oxygen saturation declines significantly in athletes during long-haul commercial flights, in response to reduced cabin pressure. This may be relevant for altitude acclimatisation planning by athletes, as the time spent on the plane should be considered time already spent at altitude, with associated physiological changes. For flights of 10–13 hours in duration, it will be difficult to arrive on the day of competition to avoid the influence of these changes, as is often suggested by coaches.

Now that spring has finally arrived and, hopefully, memories of a long, cold winter begin to wane (or at least very soon), many of us get antsy for that first RV excursion of the season. Holed up all winter, we've been making travel plans, waiting for the trees to blossom, the birds to chirp and the campgrounds to open.
The majority of us readied our coaches last fall for storage; some fully winterized for colder temperatures. After each period of non-use, regardless if the RV was winterized for sub-freezing temperatures or simply stored in the driveway, every coach must be properly prepped for use prior to simply taking off down the highway. Many call this preparation process the "spring shakedown." It involves a few detailed tasks, best addressed in a systematic manner so nothing falls through the cracks. So block out a few days, gather a few maintenance supplies and get ready for another season of fun RV travel!
The following procedures are presented in a priority order that best assures nothing will be forgotten. They are presented in bulleted format for a quick reference each season. Always have a pad and pencil on hand to note any item that needs attention. During comprehensive procedures like the spring shakedown, don't rely solely on your memory.
A clean RV will better reveal discrepancies than a dirty one, so begin by washing the coach. Wax and polish the exterior if necessary, and open all the windows to air the coach out.
Closely inspect all roof components, seams and edges. Now is the time to seal any areas that need attention.
Inspect and operate all bay doors, entry door, etc. Lube all mechanical latches and keyed locks with a dry lube.
Lubricate all slideout mechanisms using a dry lubricant.
Verify that all electrical connections are clean, dry and tight. Confirm all 12-volt DC devices are ready by operating each one. Turn on all lamps and fans, etc.
Cycle each slideout through a full extension and retraction a couple of times while listening and watching for binding or abnormal noises. Leave all rooms in the extended position.
Clean and brighten the blades on the shoreline cord. Note: Always measure the source voltage and check the polarity of incoming AC power before plugging in. The voltage must stay steady between 103 and 125 volts AC.
Plug the coach in and turn on all circuit breakers at the panel board inside the RV.
Plug in any ancillary AC device that was unplugged during the winterizing process. Note: To guard against rogue lightning damage or voltage spikes during down-times, it is advised to unplug any AC device that isn't hardwired such as the refrigerator, microwave, televisions, entertainment centers, etc.
Operate 120-volt AC appliances through their respective cycles. Note: Be sure the absorption refrigerator is properly leveled prior to operating it on electric.
Test and reset the GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter).
If employed last fall, drain the RV antifreeze from the fresh water system.
Remove the water heater from bypass. If the water heater is a Suburban model, remove and inspect the anode rod. Replace it if it is 75% depleted.
Turn the water pump on and begin flushing out all water lines. Open each faucet to eliminate any residual RV antifreeze. Don't forget the exterior showerhead, the ice maker or the clothes washer, if so equipped.
At the water heater, open the pressure and temperature (P&T) relief valve. Once water begins gushing from the P&T valve, close the lever.
Turn off the water pump, then open the water heater P&T relief valve once more and leave it open until water stops dripping from the outlet, then close it. This establishes the necessary expansion space on top of the water inside the heater tank.
Attach the fresh water hose to the city connection and verify all fresh water components still operate properly. Inspect for water dripping or seeping anywhere, inside and outside the RV.
Disassemble and lubricate all termination valves. Ensure each one operates smoothly and fully closes. Note: Use Dow 111 grease for lubrication.
Treat each holding tank for odor control if necessary. Use a non-formaldehyde additive.
Operate each appliance through their sequences of operation. Note: Be sure the refrigerator is appropriately leveled prior to testing its operation on gas and that the water heater is full of water before initiating the propane sequence on it.
Start the generator and allow it to stabilize. Once it is running smoothly, allow the generator to power the coach.
With generator power on, again cycle the air conditioner(s) and allow the generator to carry this load for at least 30 minutes.
Closely inspect all tires. Remove rocks or pebbles lodged in the tread. Note: It will be necessary to roll the rig forward or backward to fully inspect all the way around each tire.
Examine the DOT date code. Tires approaching 5 to 7 years of age may need replacing. Have a tire expert break down and inspect the inside of older tires. Note: The last four digits of the DOT code indicate the week and year of manufacture. Example: 4010 indicates that tire was manufactured during the 40th week of 2010.
Be sure all tires are pressurized to the correct inflation as determined by the weight each tire is supporting. Note: This can only be determined by weighing each tire position using certified scales.
Take the motorhome on a short road test. Be aware of strange noises, vibrations and abnormalities with steering and handling.
Road test for proper brake modulation and handling. Take note of strange noises, vibrations and abnormalities with steering and handling while towing.
Review the owner's manual to verify nothing was left out of the spring shakedown procedures. Only when thoroughly satisfied nothing is amiss, load that fridge, pack that gear and get that rig on the road! And remember, RVing is more than a hobby, it's a lifestyle!

Arnold's Christmas
Episode of Hey Arnold!
No. in series
Joe Ansolabehere
Runaway Float Helga's Boyfriend
Arnold's Christmas is the first ever half hour episode and holiday special of Hey Arnold!.
When Arnold recieves Mr. Hyunh's name in the boarding house's annual Secret Santa draw, he decides to make it the most special Christmas ever for the lonely boarder, and tries to reunite Mr. Hyunh with his long-lost daughter. Meanwhile, Helga agonizes over what would make the perfect present for Arnold.
School is out for the kids of P.S. 118 due to the holidays and everyone is in a frenzy to go home. Phoebe and Helga then discuss what the two love most about Christmas. Phoebe says she enjoys how the city is transformed by the decorations, while Helga says she is only interested in how presents she'll receive. They soon stop and Helga then reveals what she wants the most for Christmas: Nancy Spumoni Signature Snowboots. Unfortunately, Rhonda tells the greedy Helga that all stores in the city are sold out, but this does not deter Helga, who is determined that she will get those boots.
While exiting a store, Arnold asks Gerald what he is giving his family for Christmas, to which he says he is giving them all ties. Arnold then convinces Gerald that Timberly has no need for a tie considering she is a "4-year old girl." Arnold then explains that every gift you give should be unique and should mean something. Convinced, Gerald decides to give Timberly a toy and his uncle the tie intended for his sister. As the two friends depart, Helga spots Arnold and goes on a mission to find the "perfect gift for her beloved." Meanwhile at the boarding house, the boarders are assigned a Secret Santa (but have to draw again when Oskar tampers with the names as a "Christmas Joke"). Arnold's Secret Santa is shown to be Mr. Hyunh has to get a present for Mr. Hyunh, who is normally very forlorn during this time.
While engaging in a snowball fight, Gerald suggests to Arnold that he should get Mr. Hyunh a tie for his gift, but Arnold believes that is not "special" enough. So Gerald suggests that he should just ask him straight-up, to which Arnold agrees. Arnold is then awkwardly trying to find out what Mr. Hyunh wants for Christmas without exposing himself as his "Secret Santa." Arnold soon hears the story about Mr. Hyunh's lost daughter:
20 years ago, Mr. Hyunh lived in a small village in South Vietnam with his toddler daughter named Mai. Despite his optimism, he was well aware of the war in the North growing closer and closer to his village, that he knew eventually the two had to leave home for a better life in America. During the mass chaos of refugees trying to escape the country, the U.S. soldiers could only make room for one more passenger on the helicopter. So Mr. Hyunh allowed Mai to escape to America for a better life, separating the family indefinitely. According to Mr. Hyunh, it took him about 20 years for him to immigrate to America and specifically chose this city since he heard the soldier say that he was taking Mai to that specific city. Unfortunately, the two have yet to meet and Mr. Hyunh's only desire is to see his daughter again to know that she is safe and happy.
Meanwhile, Helga is in a toy store ready to buy a skateboard for Arnold, only for Stinky to sadly say that Arnold already has that type of skateboard and hopes Helga's Christmas doesn't bite. Arnold and Gerald attempt to locate Mai through government records, but is rebuffed by the city archivist, Mr. Bailey. Eventually he and Gerald work out a deal; they do all Mr. Bailey's Christmas shopping and he will give him the information. They nearly complete the list, but fall short in getting a pair of Nancy Spumoni Signature Snow boots, which Mr. Bailey wants to give his daughter. Without the critical item, he refuses to help the boys in their search despite all the stores in the city being sold out of the boots.
Helga eavesdrops on Arnold and Gerald, who is distraught that they failed in their mission to find Mai. However, Gerald assures Arnold that his effort alone was what Christmas was really all about. Helga then takes the discarded list and sees the missing item they were looking for. Once she is back home to seeing Big Bob, Miriam, and Olga singing Christmas carols and drinking eggnog, Helga returns back to her moody disposition. Seeing Helga's long face, Miriam then allows Helga to open only one present: the Nancy Spumoni Signature Snowboots, which Miriam stood in line for over 18 hours to get for her daughter. Helga thanks her mother, and tries the boots on while dancing in the snow. When Helga drops Mr. Bailey's shopping list, Helga delivers a short "Moral Dilemma" soliloquy. As Arnold lays on this bed, Helga approaches Mr. Bailey who is ready call a taxi straight home. Helga offers her boots to Mr. Bailey, but he disagrees considering it is very late and he is expected to be home right now. After Helga convinces Mr. Bailey that doing this search on Mai Hyunh would make Arnold believe in miracles, the two then go back inside the building and look up the missing woman.
On Christmas Day, Arnold is downtrodden over not getting Mai and her father back together. Mr. Hyunh is revealed to not receive a Secret Santa present, but understands. Arnold starts to tell Mr. Hyunh of what he was trying to do, but then the door bell rings and Phil answers it, only to find Mai at the door. Mai comes in and is reunited with her father. Arnold cannot understand how the reunion happened, but Gerald tells him that it was a "Christmas Miracle" that needs no explanation, and maybe a "Christmas Angel" was looking out for him. After Arnold dismisses this, Helga is seen outside the boarding house wishing Arnold a Merry Christmas.
This is one of the most acclaimed episodes of the show, and it remains a fan-favorite many years after its debut. It is often considered one of the best and most emotionally powerful episodes in the entire series, and is also regularly included in listings of the best animated holiday episodes or specials.
