Early life and education[edit]
Divya Narendra was born in the Bronx, New York and raised in Bayside, Queens,[1] the eldest son of immigrant doctors from India, Sudhanshu Narendra and Dharamjit Narendra Kumar, of Sands Point, New York. His mother, a pediatrician, and father, a geriatrician and palliative medicine specialist, share a practice in New York.[2][3] Narendra scored a near-perfect SAT and graduated from Townsend Harris High School in Flushing, Queens before attending Harvard University in 2000, from which he graduated with an A.B. cum laude in applied mathematics in 2004.[1][4][5]
Narendra graduated from Northwestern University School of Law and the Kellogg School of Management in 2012, earning a J.D. and an MBA.[5]
SumZero[edit]
SumZero is a company started by Divya Narendra and Aalap Mahadevia. Narendra described how he came up with the concept in an interview. "SumZero was initially inspired by a need for a simple, centralized, and searchable platform in which professional investors working at hedge funds, mutual funds, and private equity funds could share rigorous investment ideas and network with one another. Since then the concept has expanded and SumZero is taking steps to bring a subset of high-level investment research to the investing community at large."[6]
ConnectU[edit]
Main article: ConnectU
ConnectU (originally Harvard Connection) was a social networking website launched on May 21, 2004,[7] that was founded by Harvard students Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra in December 2002.[8] Users could add people as friends, send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves.[9] Users were placed in networks based upon the domain name associated with the email address they used for registration.[10] The site subsequently relaunched and became an active online community at Harvard Connection for a time, but has since been discontinued.
Sanjay Mavinkurve was the first programmer asked to build HarvardConnection.[10] Sanjay commenced work on HarvardConnection but left the project in the spring of 2003 when he graduated and went to work for Google.[11]
After the departure of Sanjay Mavinkurve, the Winklevosses and Narendra approached Narendra's friend, Harvard student and programmer Victor Gao to work on HarvardConnection.[10] Gao, a senior in Mather House, had opted not to become a full partner in the venture, instead agreeing to be paid in a work for hire capacity on a rolling basis.[12] He was paid $400 for his work on the website code during the summer and fall of 2003, but he excused himself thereafter due to personal obligations.[13]
Mark Zuckerberg[edit]
In November 2003, upon the referral of Victor Gao, the Winklevosses and Narendra approached Mark Zuckerberg about joining the HarvardConnection team.[14] By this point, the previous HarvardConnection programmers had already made progress on a large chunk of the coding: front-end pages, the registration system, a database, back-end coding, and a way users could connect with each other, which Gao called a "handshake".[12] In early November, Narendra emailed Zuckerberg saying, "We're very deep into developing a site which we would like you to be a part of and ... which we know will make some waves on campus."[12] Within days, Zuckerberg was talking to the HarvardConnection team and preparing to take over programming duties from Gao.[12] On the evening of November 25, 2003,[15] the Winklevosses and Narendra met with Zuckerberg in the dining hall of Harvard's Kirkland House, where they explained to an enthusiastic Zuckerberg the HarvardConnection website, the plan to expand to other schools after launch, the confidential nature of the project, and the importance of getting there first.[12][16] During the meeting, Zuckerberg allegedly entered into an oral contract with Narendra and the Winklevosses and became a partner in HarvardConnection.[7] He was given the private server location and password for the unfinished HarvardConnection website and code,[13] with the understanding that he would finish the programming necessary for launch.[7] Zuckerberg allegedly chose to be compensated in the form of sweat equity.[17]
On November 30, 2003, Zuckerberg told Cameron Winklevoss in an email that he did not expect completion of the project to be difficult. Zuckerberg writes: "I read over all the stuff you sent and it seems like it shouldn't take too long to implement, so we can talk about that after I get all the basic functionality up tomorrow night."[14] The next day, on December 1, 2003, Zuckerberg sent another email to the HarvardConnection team. "I put together one of the two registration pages so I have everything working on my system now. I'll keep you posted as I patch stuff up and it starts to become completely functional."[16] On December 4, 2003, Zuckerberg writes: "Sorry I was unreachable tonight. I just got about three of your missed calls. I was working on a problem set."[16] On December 10, 2003: "The week has been pretty busy, so I haven't gotten a chance to do much work on the site or even think about it really, so I think it's probably best to postpone meeting until we have more to discuss. I'm also really busy tomorrow so I don't think I'd be able to meet then anyway."[16] A week later: "Sorry I have not been reachable for the past few days. I've basically been in the lab the whole time working on a cs problem set which I'm still not finished with."[16] On December 17, 2003,[15] Zuckerberg met with the Winklevosses and Narendra in his dorm room, allegedly confirming his interest and assuring them that the site was almost complete.[12] On the whiteboard in his room, Zuckerberg allegedly had scrawled multiple lines of code under the heading "Harvard Connection." However, this would be the only time they saw any of his work.[12] On January 8, 2004, Zuckerberg emailed to say he was "completely swamped with work [that] week" but had "made some of the changes ... and they seem[ed] to be working great" on his computer. He said he could discuss the site starting the following Tuesday, on January 13, 2004.[14][18] On January 11, 2004, Zuckerberg registered the domain name thefacebook.com.[19] On January 12, 2004, Zuckerberg e-mailed Eduardo Saverin, saying that the site [thefacebook.com] was almost complete and that they should discuss marketing strategies.[12] Two days later, on January 14, 2004,[15] Zuckerberg met again with the HarvardConnection team. However, he allegedly never mentioned registering the domain name thefacebook.com nor a competing social networking website, rather he reported progress on HarvardConnection, told them he would continue to work on it, and would email the group later in the week.[14] On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched thefacebook.com, a social network for Harvard students, designed to expand to other schools around the country.[7]
On February 6, 2004, the Winklevosses and Narendra first learned of thefacebook.com while reading a press release in the Harvard student newspaper The Harvard Crimson.[12] According to Gao, who looked at the HarvardConnection code afterward, Zuckerberg had left the HarvardConnection code incomplete and non-functional, with a registration that did not connect with the back-end connections.[10] On February 10, 2004, the Winklevosses and Narendra sent Zuckerberg a cease and desist letter.[20][21] They also asked the Harvard administration to act on what they viewed as a violation of the university's honor code and student handbook.[22] They lodged a complaint with the Harvard Administrative Board and university president Larry Summers; however, both viewed the matter to be outside the university's jurisdiction.[23] President Summers advised the HarvardConnection team to take their matter to the courts.[18]
Leaked instant messages[edit]
Between November 30, 2003 and February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg exchanged a total of 51 emails with the HarvardConnection team and engaged in multiple in-person meetings.[18] During the same period of time, Zuckerberg engaged in multiple electronic instant message communications with people outside the HarvardConnection team. On March 5, 2010, certain electronic instant messages from Mark Zuckerberg's hard drive were leaked to the public.[16] On September 20, 2010, Facebook confirmed the authenticity of these leaked instant messages in a New Yorker article.[24]
Later, a partnership allegedly formed between i2hub, a popular peer-to-peer service at the time, and ConnectU. The partnership, called The Winklevoss Chang Group, jointly advertised their properties through bus advertisements as well as press releases. i2hub integrated its popular software with ConnectU's website, as part of the partnership. The team also jointly launched several projects and initiatives.[25][26]
Facebook lawsuits[edit]
In 2004, ConnectU filed a lawsuit against Facebook alleging that creator Mark Zuckerberg had broken an oral contract with them. The suit alleged that Zuckerberg had copied their idea[27][28] and illegally used source code intended for the website he was hired to create.[29][30][31][32] Facebook countersued in regards to Social Butterfly, a project put out by the Winklevoss Chang Group, an alleged partnership between ConnectU and i2hub, another campus service. It named among the defendants ConnectU, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, Divya Narendra, and Wayne Chang, founder of i2hub.[33] A settlement agreement for both cases was reached in February 2008, reportedly valued at $65 million.[34] However, in May 2010, it was reported that ConnectU accused Facebook of securities fraud on the value of the stock that was part of the settlement and wants to get the settlement undone. According to ConnectU's allegations, the value of the stock was $11 million instead of $45 million that Facebook presented at the time of settlement. This meant the settlement value, at the time, was $31 million, instead of the $65 million.[35][36] On August 26, 2010, The New York Times reported that Facebook shares were trading at $76 per share in the secondary market, putting the total settlement value at close to $120 million.[37][38] If the lawsuit to adjust the settlement to match the difference goes through, the value will quadruple to over $466 million.[39] According to Steven M. Davidoff, "Facebook never represented its valuation in this negotiation, and so there is no prior statement that the company needs to correct."[40]
Quinn Emanuel lawsuits[edit]
One of ConnectU's law firms, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, disclosed the confidential settlement amount in marketing material by printing "WON $65 million settlement against Facebook".[41] Quinn Emanuel is seeking $13 million of the settlement. ConnectU fired Quinn Emanuel and sued the law firm for malpractice.[42] On August 25, 2010, an arbitration panel ruled that Quinn Emanuel "earned its full contingency fee". It also found that Quinn Emanuel committed no malpractice.[43]
The Winklevoss Chang Group lawsuit[edit]
On December 21, 2009, i2hub founder Wayne Chang and the i2hub Organization launched a lawsuit against ConnectU and its founders, seeking 50% of the settlement. The complaint says, "The Winklevosses and Howard Winklevoss filed [a] patent application, U.S. Patent Application No 20060212395, on or around March 15, 2005, but did not list Chang as a co-inventor." It also states, "Through this litigation, Chang asserts his ownership interest in The Winklevoss Chang Group and ConnectU, including the settlement proceeds."[26] Lee Gesmer of the firm Gesmer Updegrove posted the detailed 33-page complaint online.[25][44]
On May 13, 2011, it was reported that Judge Peter Lauriat made a ruling against the Winklevosses. Chang's case against them could proceed. The Winklevosses had argued that the court lacks jurisdiction because the settlement with Facebook has not been distributed and therefore Chang hasn't suffered any injury. Judge Lauriat wrote, "The flaw in this argument is that defendants appear to conflate loss of the settlement proceed with loss of rights. Chang alleges that he has received nothing in return for the substantial benefits he provided to ConnectU, including the value of his work, as well as i2hub's users and goodwill." Lauriat also wrote that, although Chang's claims to the settlement are "too speculative to confer standing, his claims with respect to an ownership in ConnectU are not. They constitute an injury separate and distinct from his possible share of the settlement proceeds. The court concludes that Chang has pled sufficient facts to confer standing with respect to his claims against the Winklevoss defendants."[45][46][47][48][49][50]
On June 17, 2017, Narendra married American-born, Princeton-educated research analyst Phoebe White, daughter of Sebastian N. White, a nuclear physicist at CERN, and Kristin Holby Darnell, a Norwegian former professional model known as "Clotilde" who later owned a dress shop of the same name. Her stepfather is the biologist James E. Darnell, and her great-great grandfather is architect Stanford White. The couple had met four years earlier, when he wandered into a birthday party at a bar uninvited and saw White, who was a party guest. They spoke only for a couple of minutes, but she gave enough information for Narendra to track her down online, which resulted in an email and then a date.[51][52][53]
In popular culture[edit]
Narendra is portrayed by Max Minghella in The Social Network (2010), a film directed by David Fincher about the founding of Facebook. Narendra is of Indian ancestry, while Minghella is of Italian and Chinese ancestry. Narendra said that he was "initially surprised" to see himself portrayed by a non-Indian actor but also said that "Max did a good job in pushing the dialogue forward and creating a sense of urgency in what was a very frustrating period."[54]

The 'feminism' stage of the celeb nude pics scandal is utterly absurd
the 4 stages of the celebrity nudity scandal #legalism #moralism #feminism #commercialism
— Winston Liauw (@wsliauw) September 3, 2014
Hilarious. And as if on cue, here comes the "nudity is the highest form of feminism" argument, via Joan Smith's latest at The Guardian, "Posing naked is one of the ultimate feminist acts":
"The body is a feminist issue, and the struggle to own it is never-ending": Joan Smith on posing naked http://t.co/hnNpe3AlK4
— Kira Cochrane (@KiraCochrane) September 2, 2014
An excerpt:
Amid this cacophony of critical voices, one reaction to the theft of "nude pics" – the tabloid shorthand makes them sound so much worse, doesn't it? – has been to ask why any woman would pose naked. The implication is that the singers and actors concerned have "asked for it" if the pictures are stolen, which is as fine a piece of victim-blaming as I've heard in a long time. Apparently, the punishment for "vanity" is publication, and some newspapers that didn't publish the stolen photographs offered a handy guide to where on the internet they had appeared.
Oh, please. If you want to pose nekkid, pose nekkid. And as for "some newspapers" that provided a "handy guide" on how to view the pictures, et tu Guardian?
Nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and others posted online by alleged hacker http://t.co/JoUuvVK8qR
— Guardian US (@GuardianUS) September 1, 2014
With links, no less:
Images of more than 100 well-known actors, singers and celebrities, including what appear to be nude photos and videos, may have been exposed by a hacker in a major breach of privacy.
On Sunday a user on the 4chan website posted a list of mostly female actors and public figures, including Jennifer Lawrence, Avril Lavigne, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Kirsten Dunst, Aubrey Plaza and Winona Ryder, of whom they claim to have explicit photographs or videos.
A number of photos from some celebrities, including Hunger Games star Lawrence, have since been circulating on file-sharing and photo sites. 4chanquickly removed the posts from their site but screenshots of the list by one of the posters has a list of more than 60 names of celebrities who are alleged to have been hacked.
The release of the images has drawn varying responses from the celebrities, with some conceding they are real photos and others denying their veracity.
Buzzfeed reported that the user had also posted images of his desktop, one of which appeared to be an image of Jennifer Lawrence.
Which brings us to stage four of the scandal: commercialism. The Guardian is profiting from the nudes, and from the outrage at publishing the news. When will their feminists writers take a stand?

Q: Definition of Irreducible Graded $Z_2$ Modules I am reading Dale. Husemoller's Fiber Bundles where he defines graded modules over a graded algebra as follows.
Next, he talks about irreducible graded modules in the lines given below.
Now, I don't get it, How can an Irreducible graded Module be defined as it should not have any submodules. But graded implies the existence of $M^0 , M^1$.
I think I may have misinterpreted something. Kindly help!.

Altar in the World
Posted on November 17, 2022 November 17, 2022 by Church of the Redeemer
As Thanksgiving approaches, I have been thinking about tables, about when and how and whether we break bread together, about welcome and inclusion and why we still find that hard sometimes. Stories of eating and drinking together across accustomed lines of difference punctuate the scripture: water at the well with the Samaritan woman, dinner with tax collectors and Pharisees, Peter discovering that God shows no partiality when it comes to house guests and meal-mates. The stories resonate literally in our bellies: the child in us remembers that nothing is more basic than food and learning how to share bread and ourselves.
In 1967 I was a Head Start kid in eastern Tennessee. A year later, in the spring of 1968, my dad dropped out of seminary, in part because of his school's reaction to the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. My father has a complicated story, but one thing he was clear about was the equality of humankind, without regard for race or creed or class. The Episcopal church at that time in the south, however, was less expansive. In some places, the church that was calling him to be a priest was more likely to support the Jim Crow status quo than the cause for civil rights, and he lost his faith and calling over that crisis. His separation from religion compelled the loss of everything material we had—home, jobs, old friends—and set our family spinning into a dark whirl of anger and sadness. Years later he told me that he thought saving his integrity was worth the cost, but I wasn't so sure.
We moved to Little Rock where he and my mother had family, and where my grandmother had a house we could squat in for free. It was a complicated gift: in some ways my father never recovered from the shame of returning to his Momma's house, feeling like a failure as a son and a father. As far as I know, his family of origin never asked him what had precipitated his withdrawal from seminary. He struggled with "feeling blue" as he called it, most likely undiagnosed clinical depression, and worked as a laborer until he turned 65. I also didn't think to ask him why he was sad until I was 1000 miles away at college. By then I had been mad at him for over a decade, because he seemed so aimless and because we were poor, but a longing to know him finally won out over my righteous pride. Beginning with a letter written when I was 19, we slowly began to build a relationship. For a year in my 20's, we met over coffee at McDonald's on Saturday mornings, our version of strangers at the well, learning to be honest, sorting out trustworthiness, risking intimacy.
We found each other at that table in the fast-food restaurant, an altar as sacred as any church could build.
I hope you will make a date with someone you've been meaning to talk with—even if that person is long gone and your conversation will take place only in a journal and your heart. It is never too late to ask someone "What hurts?" and share how their choices have had an impact on you… It's not too late to get to know someone you've seen at church or the grocery store for a decade… This may be the day for you to reach across some superficial divide of race or class and meet in the courtyard for coffee.
Wherever people are breaking open their hearts and hurts, there is an altar in the world. Join me at that table.

Alabama's Most Important Players for 2021
Mason Woods
Mason Woods Published: February 24, 2021
The Alabama Crimson Tide won their 18th national championship last season, crushing the Ohio State Buckeyes in a game Alabama fans will always remember. While that win is still fresh in all of our minds, the 2021 season is quickly approaching and there are some question marks for Alabama.
With the departure of 12 players to the NFL draft, and the transfer of six, Alabama will have some new faces taking roles on the offense and defense next year. Here is a list of the most important players for Alabama heading into the 2021 season.
Josh Jobe
College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Rose Bowl Game presented by Capital One - Alabama v Notre Dame
Jobe was the starting corner opposite Surtain last season, but with Surtain heading to the NFL, this year gives Jobe an opportunity to solidify himself as an elite corner. In his junior season, Jobe recorded 45 tackles, two forced fumbles, and 11 pass deflections, which was tied for eleventh in the nation.
Surtain was a generational talent for Alabama and won't be easy to replace, but Jobe has played extremely well in three years at Alabama, and could be the next lockdown guy at corner.
John Metchie
Alabama v Arkansas
John Metchie, the Canadian hit stick himself, will have his chance to be a number one receiver in 2021. Sitting behind talent like Devonta Smith, Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, etc., Metchie has had to patiently wait his turn.
Last season was a turning point in the former four-star's career, when he became a feature of the Alabama offense, catching 55 passes for 916 yards, and had a breakout performance against Texas A&M that saw the sophomore rein in five catches for 181 yards and two touchdowns. Next year will see Metchie be the No. 1 option at receiver most likely, and will make way for the new group of "Ryde-Outs".
Evan Neal
CFP National Championship Presented by AT&T - Ohio State v Alabama
Neal started 13 games at right tackle for the Tide, opposite Alex Leatherwood, in 2020, and will most likely be making the switch to the left side this season. Leatherwood is heading to the NFL, leaving a hole on the offensive line that Neal has been groomed to fill for his last two years in Tuscaloosa.
The 6-foot-7 360 pound former five-star product of IMG Academy looks poised to fill Leatherwood's role, and will be an anchor for Alabama's offense in 2021.
Will Anderson
Alabama v LSU
After earning the starting job as a freshman and posting one of the most impressive seasons in recent memory, Will Anderson is ready for a breakout year. The Hampton, GA native recorded 52 tackles, 10.5 of which were for a loss, and seven sacks in 2020, adding a forced fumble along the way, and was a key piece in the Alabama championship run last season.
Anderson picked up several accolades for his performance in 2020, being named the Shawn Alexander-FWAA Freshman of the Year and earning a spot on the SEC All-Freshman team. With a full offseason of preparation under his belt going into next season, Anderson will be ready to wreak havoc on opposing offenses.
Crimson Tide Photos / UA Athletics
Well, you all knew it was coming. Bryce Young, the five-star product out of California, brings with him more hype than just about any player in recent memory. Alabama fans nearly wrote Mac Jones off last offseason after the arrival of Young, but Jones proved the doubters wrong and put together one of the best seasons of quarterback play in history, opening the door for Young to takeover in 2021.
While Paul Tyson could make a push for the starting job, it looks like it is Young's to lose. In his senior season at Mater Dei, Young was named Offensive Player of the Year by USA Today after throwing for over 4500 yards with 58 touchdowns and six interceptions. If Young can translate those kind of numbers to the next level, Alabama's offense will pick up right where it left off in 2020.

Dear Walt Whitman:—
Your beautiful gift1 rec'd.2 I gloated and gloated over it. Such a precious memento! How we ought to love each other, & draw closer & closer in manly friendship—all of us who think & believe the same things of the universe & man. There is a mystery back of the visible, I am confident All matter seems to me instinct w. latent consciousness. Those Platonic remembrances the dim pre-natal consciousness carried over thro' the seminal germ of foetus—very remarkable psychological fact—only showing the delicate character of matter.
Thank you very much for the valuable & remarkably vigorous little Ilias-in-nuce sketch of Whittier.3 It is worth all of my book put together. You make me jealous—you man of great power—you [smite?] home with such resistless power, & graphic-picturesque words. I am going to quote what you say of Whittier. It's all right just what you wd say in print.4
I am having a grand visit from a cousin. A real Western woman.5—A Woodruff (you may have known one kinsman (cousin) Judge Lewis B. Woodruff6 of New York Circuit-Court, highly revered man for his probity & his legal decisions). This Hattie Woodruff McDowell, fr' the Western Reserve is one of those marvellous, energetic Western girls—wrapped in their purity as armor, who go out & locate land, farm their own living, & travel alone around the continent,—& lose no feminine charm. The world can't beat it!
She brought in her trunk some calamus root which she boiled in maple sugar up in Vermont on a sugar ranche of her mother-in-law. I send you a little snip dear dad. Prost! I also send you per express paid a couple of jars of my nice currant jam put up by myself fr fruit raised by me here.
Sorry indeed to hear of increase of that little deafness, & of yr eyes. Keep a grand heart
Hattie brings me a long letter of Jesse R. Grant,7 the General's father, addressed to my great uncle Granger, (Judge William G. of Ohio8 very wealthy now deceased). Jesse came very near marrying my uncle's sister he says. I may publish the letter. So keep mum. Curious to think what wd hv. been the fate of the U.S. if he had married Eliza G.!9
Wilhelm Kennedy
Wm Sloane Kennedy
Hattie brought me a great hunk of pure maple sugar too.10
William Sloane Kennedy (1850–1929) was on the staff of the Philadelphia American and later published biographies of Longfellow and Whittier (Dictionary of American Biography). Apparently Kennedy had called on the poet for the first time on November 21, 1880 (William Sloane Kennedy, Reminiscences of Walt Whitman [1896], 1). Though Kennedy was to become a fierce defender of Whitman, in his first published article he admitted reservations about the "coarse indecencies of language" and protested that Whitman's ideal of democracy was "too coarse and crude"; see The Californian, 3 (February 1881), 149–158. For more about Kennedy, see Katherine Reagan, "Kennedy, William Sloane (1850–1929)," Walt Whitman: An Encyclopedia, ed. J.R. LeMaster and Donald D. Kummings (New York: Garland Publishing, 1998).
1. Whitman had a limited pocket-book edition of Leaves of Grass printed in honor of his 70th birthday, on May 31, 1889, through special arrangement with Frederick Oldach. Only 300 copies were printed, and Whitman signed the title page of each one. The volume also included the annex Sands at Seventy and his essay A Backward Glance O'er Traveled Roads. See Whitman's May 16, 1889, letter to Oldach. For more information on the book see Ed Folsom, Whitman Making Books/Books Making Whitman: A Catalog and Commentary. [back]
2. Above the first line of Kennedy's letter, Whitman has written a note in blue pencil: "the pocket bk b'd of L of G." [back]
3. Whitman has written above this paragraph in blue pencil: "he is writing a book life of Whittier—ask'd me what I thot of W." John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892) earned fame as a staunch advocate for the abolition of slavery. As a poet, he employed traditional forms and meters, and, not surprisingly, he was not an admirer of Whitman's unconventional prosody. For Whitman's view of Whittier, see the poet's numerous comments throughout the nine volumes of Horace Traubel's With Walt Whitman in Camden (various publishers: 1906–1996) and Whitman's "My Tribute to Four Poets," in Specimen Days (Philadelphia: Rees Welsh & Co., 1882–'83), 180–181. [back]
4. Whitman has written at the end of this paragraph in blue pencil: "—don't know ab't this—wasn't indited for publication" [back]
5. As yet we have no information about this person. [back]
6. Judge Lewis B. Woodruff (1809–1875) served as the Circuit Judge of the Second Judicial Circuit of the United States (The American Law Review, Volume 10 [Little, Brown, and Company, 1876], 167–168). [back]
7. Jesse Root Grant (1794–1873), Ulysses S. Grant's father, grew up in Ohio and Kentucky, apprenticed to a judge, became a tanner, a farmer, and a leather merchant, and married Hannah Simpson; their first child was the future U.S. president. [back]
8. William S. Granger served as a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Richmond, Ohio and helped to establish a bank in Chicago (Journal of the House of Representatives of the State of Ohio, Volume 39 [Ohio: The State, 1840], 697–8). [back]
10. Whitman has written at the bottom of the page in blue pencil: "I rec'd the currants—wh' I eat with my bread & like—also rec'd the calamus caramels" [back]

I HAVE LOOKED FOR YEARS for a program that does what Zentimo does. What it does is let me see what's connected to–let me count 'em–34 USB ports on my desktop PC. And that's plus four slots for reading camera memory cards that my computer treats as USBs. I also have at any given time up to five thumb drives and five external hard drives. If I need to disconnect anything, most of the time it's a guessing game which of the devices to click.
On a good day, the screenshot on the right is the typical Windows list of external drives and flash drives and other computer toys attached to my USB ports. On a bad day, I don't even try to figure it out. I just pull whatever it is I want out of its USB slot and hope I'm not destroying all the data on it.
Zentimo is what we in the computer trade call an OTP, the acronym for one-trick pony. It doesn't do much more than what I've shown you. There are times when that one trick can be terribly helpful.
And oh, we in the computer trade don't say "OTP." Just joking.
Igor's right. I was rushing to post while the giveaway was still in effect, and didn't give Zentimo the workout it deserves. I really love the fact it hides card reader slot that don't have cards in them.


My hope it that people really love discovering the innovation talent they didn't know they had, and that companies thrive by tapping the innovation talent hiding in their workforce.
Q: What was/is your purpose in starting Swarm Vision?
A: My purpose is to harness the "long tail of innovation talent in the world"
Before Swarm, I had been running global crowdsourcing challenges for a half decade. I never told my clients where the participants came from when they chose the winning ideas, because I didn't want it to color their judgment.
In 8 out of 10 cases, the best ideas came from places my clients would NEVER expect – like a political refugee in eastern Europe, a stay-home mom in Mississippi, or a mailroom clerk at a gigantic insurance company.
My father had a couple of sayings: "It's better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission," And, "There's one thing they can never take away from you: Your capacity to have the next idea." These quotes speak to the heart and soul of an Ideator. Can you imagine parents today raising their kids with these mantras?

Reading our Political Moment Pedagogically
Wealth Inequality in Australia: Timely New Report
Suzanne de Brunhoff, Marx on Money
by Joe Collins on July 12, 2016

| 0 1858
In the preface to the 1872 French edition of the first volume of Capital, Marx warned those readers who zealously seek the truth that 'there is no royal road to science and only those who do not dread the fatiguing climb of its steep paths have a chance of gaining its luminous summits'. In 1973, Suzanne de Brunhoff demonstrated her resolve to scale the peaks of Marx's monetary theory by publishing La Monnaie Chez Marx, published in 1976 in English as Marx on Money. Suzanne de Brunhoff's passing in 2015 prompted Verso to commission a commemorative reprint of this seminal tome and it gave the Past & Present Reading Group cause for reflection on her important contribution to the discourse of historical materialism.
Marx on Money is deceptively short. At 140 pages in length, the book appears as a concise exegesis of, well, Marx on money. Upon closer reading, de Brunhoff reveals a rich tapestry of insights and points of contention embedded within the elaboration of money across Marx's mature writings. Our discussions raised discoveries and controversies as what seemed to warrant little more than close attention betrayed inadequacies in approaches to class analysis and illuminated hitherto hazy expositions of modern finance. The short reflection that follows gives a flavour of Marx on Money, issues that arose within the group discussion and the exciting prospect, offered up by Marx through de Brunhoff, of post-capitalist money. Brevity precludes detailed summary but excellent offerings may be found elsewhere.
Marx on Money is an essay comprised of two parts. Part A elaborates Marx's general theory of money and Part B explores the manifestation of that general phenomenon within the capitalist mode of production. This arrangement, as de Brunhoff notes, may seem odd to those who associate Marx's method with historical specificity. A general theory of money, devoid of historical context, first appears as anti-Marxist. Marx sought, according to de Brunhoff, to explain the economic existence of money rather than merely its form in a particular place and time. A general theory of money must first be constructed so that a monetary theory of credit in capitalism can emerge. The monetary theory of credit rather than a theory of credit money is the hook upon which this book must be hung. The latter is folly and the former is the only approach capable of transcending wrong thinking and of informing appropriate political practice.
The general theory of money presented by Marx in Capital stands, as de Brunhoff makes irrefragably clear, against the quantity theory of money and is therefore counter to Keynes and other bourgeois economists. Money does not determine the flow of commodities but the reverse is also untrue. Marx's theory of money sought to understand the inner relation between money and commodities, not to determine fixed causal influence. Duncan Foley makes the point in the preface that Marx's monetary theory would not really be helpful to those aiming to construct policy. Indeed! The point of understanding the inner logic of the capitalist mode of production is, for Marx, to transcend this stage of human social evolution, not to ensure the capitalist state has more effective control over monetary policy. Foley ends his preface by reminding readers that those involved in political struggle on the side of the working class are weakened by reliance on monetary analysis drawn from Keynes and other bourgeois thinkers; a historical materialist monetary theory is essential.
Political struggle on the side of a particular class is an oft-quoted mantra but how clear is the notion of class? If money, as de Brunhoff and Marx suggest, is a social relation, how then are we to characterise the personifications of capital? How does one operationalise such categories in analysis? Perhaps the answer arises in the question. Raewyn Connell remarked in Ruling Class, Ruling Culture that approaches to class analysis could be usefully distinguished as either categorical or generative. Weber categorised people into classes by taking static snapshots and positioning individuals according to certain indicators like income, occupation and education. This type of analysis is familiar to anyone who reads a newspaper. Marx, on the other hand, could muster no more than 5 paragraphs on class in volume 3 of Capital by the time he died because he considered it more important to explain the dynamics of the vast and complex mode of production that generated classes. Class, just as money, is a dynamic social relation. What makes a capitalist becomes what makes capital?
Production of commodities requires money and the system of financing production born of capitalism, the credit system, remains, as de Brunhoff claims, 'a bastard'. Credit, as Marx makes clear, will be a great lever in the transition from capitalism to a mode of production of associated labour. In post-capitalist society, capitalist credit, or interest-bearing capital, will serve no social function and therefore be meaningless. The production of commodities on a scale beyond bare subsistence, however, requires a monetary system. This means that if and when humanity is able to transcend the capitalist mode of production, some consideration must be given to how production is financed and facilitated through a monetary system. How indeed? This is just one reason Marx on Money is essential reading. Challenged, as we are, in 2016 with the existential threat of climate change, while ructions of the GFC continue to displace their effects across the global economy and as political structures of the past and present deteriorate, often spectacularly, the question of how we move on to generate new societies free of such contradictions is a pressing one.
Suzanne de Brunhoff asked over 40 years ago if we had the right to 'write' Capital while pretending to read it. Next year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of volume 1 of Capital. In this sense, that book has already been written and no one has the right to 'rewrite' Capital. Given the challenges we as humanity face, not only do those who seek to transcend this mode of production have the right to continue writing Marx's revolutionary work, it is our most pressing obligation.

After months of suffering starvation, war, and countless deaths, the survivors of Black Mountain, North Carolina, are beginning to recover technology and supplies they had once taken for granted, like electricity, radio communications, and medications. When a "federal administrator" arrives in a nearby city, they dare to hope that a new national government is finally emerging.
That hope quickly diminishes when town administrator John Matherson learns that most of the young men and women in the community are to be drafted into the "Army of National Recovery" and sent to trouble spots hundreds of miles away. He and the people of Black Mountain protest vehemently. But "the New Regime" is already tyrannizing one nearby community.

For the most part, they are succeeding.
This period of relative stability doesn't last long. A new, aggressive government announces that it's taking over and ceding large portions of the country to China and Mexico. The Constitution is no longer in effect, and what's left of the U.S. Army has been deployed to suppress rebellion in the remaining states. John fears he and his town will be targets.
General Bob Scales, John's old commanding officer and closest friend from prewar days, is sent to bring John into line. Will John and his people accept the new, autocratic regime? Or will revolution rip the fledgling nation apart at the seams?"

It's another tough month in the old net worth update series. While we did good on saving money, the markets went down pretty bad. I don't keep up with market fluctuations very closely and only knew about them from seeing our own numbers drop and seeing other bloggers write posts about it.
Our net worth may have dropped this month, but I'm not worried about it. The market has been on such a good path for years now and it was bound to start dropping at some point. The good news is, we can still invest our money and it will continue to grow in the long run.
I realize that this report is confusing because I'm showing my expenses to be more than our income and somehow still saved $1,796.38. This is because I factored in investment losses into our net income. The investment losses don't actually affect our monthly income/expenses, so we really made more money than we spent this month. Unfortunately, this is the first month where the market has gone down since I've started doing these reports.
If the markets correct and start going back up, we're on track to break the $100,000 marker by the end of the year!
Love your update. I think you are the first blogger I have ever come across who truly represents the net realizable value of their home – ie including a 10% discount for seller fees.
Enjoyed your update. Great work, keep it up!!
Thanks Church! I try to be as accurate as I can. I need to go through my house and actually calculate how much I think we could sell everything for. Maybe once I get a decent ways past the $100,000 mark, I'll stop including the amount I've estimated we could sell everything in our house for.
So close to the six figure mark! I looked at your previous months, you've been so close. You'll get there and it'll be even better because of the agony of hovering so close! I look forward to congratulating you on crossing the six figure mark next month.
Thanks! I probably would have hit it if it wasn't for having to pay $2,000 in September for college and the market going down this month. Idk if we'll hit it next month, but hopefully my income on eBay will go up with it being the best time of the year to sell and also my antique booth sales should go up. Can't wait to reach my orange belt and start climbing up the belt ladder lol. Thanks for checking in!
$879 credit card cash back – nice! Is that all from one card?
Keep on investing. Who knows if this is a short term correction or the start of the next downturn. I wish I had invested way more in the last downturn. The earlier you are in your journey, the better a major downturn is for your future. You won't suffer huge losses because your portfolio is small, and you can buy in at really cheap prices.
Yeah, I think it is the best credit card deal out there right now! It was from a Chase Ink Preferred Business card. I don't even have a business though and just used my name as the business name when applying. The deal is $800 in cashback after spending $5,000 within the first 3 months or 80,000 travel points. I decided to take the cash because we haven't saved much for Christmas and that's coming up before any future travel plans. The card does have a $95 annual fee, so I'll have to cancel before that hits.
Yeah, it isn't going to help my net worth in the short term, but I know it's best to buy stocks when the market goes down so I'm happy for it to drop if that's the case.
Chase Ink is a good one. I did that one last year. There are several cards that can get you 50,000 points – 80,000 is the best I've found for Ultimate Rewards points.
Cool, I need to get a better travel hacking game plan together, takes time to plan it all out. I've learned a lot from the Travel Miles 101 course though!
Keep at it! As you know, can't control the market but you can control savings, income, and expenses. You're doing great!
Thanks Drew! Not going to give up!
Thanks B! I don't like sharing my net worth honestly because I don't want to come off as braggy. I just want to show people that they can do what I'm doing because I'm not making a ton of money.

Q: What's causing this difference in rendering between Webkit and Gecko + Trident? I've submitted this to the Webkit bugzilla (including full CSS and HTML) a week ago but didn't receive a response so far. In the mean time, I'd like to know if it's me or Webkit doing something strange. I already found a workaround, just looking for answers on what's exactly causing this difference.
Here's what I'm experiencing:
(source: mindcontrolled.nl)
Tested in Chrome 10.0.648.204, Safari 5.0.3 (7533.19.4), Firefox 4.0 and a version of IE 8.
This is the related code. I already isolated this code in the HTML to see if surrounding objects caused the trouble but the problem remains.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

[...]

        preview website

And the CSS:
#container, #top, #contentcontainer {
    padding: 12px;
}

#logo {
    float: left;

    margin: 0;

    font-size: 2em;
    letter-spacing: -2px;
}

#topmenu ul, #mainsubmenu ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;

    list-style-type: none;
}

#topmenu li, #mainsubmenu li {
    display: inline;
}

#topmenu li {
    margin-left: 20px;
}

#topmenu li:first-child {
    margin-left: 0;
}

#topmenu a {
    color: #005288;
}

#topmenu a:hover {
    color: #00aeef;
}

#topmenu a span {
    color: #005288;
}

I started by measuring all the divs to see if they had the same, auto-calculated sizes in both Gecko and Webkit, and they all have the exact same measurements for width (but of course the height is different on Webkit). It's 390 px in Chrome's Firebug lite as well as in Firefox (4) DOM-inspector.
Even if those 390 pixels wouldn't have been enough to fit the full list, the div could simply have expanded to the left. This could perhaps be the case when fonts render a little differently or
What's also strange is that if I remove
#topmenu li:first-child {
    margin-left: 0;
}

from the CSS, that doesn't do anything to the position of the first element in the list. Instead, it changes the position of the LI on the second line! "Helpdesk" will then align with "Over ons" strangely enough.
My workaround:
If I define a fixed width for the topmenu DIV of at least 390 (current width) plus 20 pixels (the margin I remove using first-child) for a minimum total fixed width of 410 pixels, all elements stay on the same line.
Love to hear what everyone has to say on this.

A: I created a jsfidle and tested it in Chrome and Firefox, but I can't reproduce your findings. Have you perhaps got more/different html/css than the fragments you posted? I get basically the same thing in both browsers and the margin applied on #topmenu li:first-child does what it is supposed to do in both as well.
I have Chrome 10 and Firefox 3.6.16 on a Mac with Snow Leopard.
This is Chrome:

And Firefox:

A: I've figured out what's wrong: you're using an explicit web page width. Because of this, the last item doesn't fit even if the browser window is wide enough, because you aren't giving it enough space.
To fix this, don't specify a width for your web page and redo your CSS to adapt to the width of the browser window.


WARNING: Franzo is almost offensively drunk during the entirety of this video.
I like that this made the news.
Well That Sounds Terrible, Wait...What?
British Transport Police released this video of a fantastically drunk woman at Barnsley Station managing to accidentally fall under a train. Luckily, the woman not only survived, but walked away with only minor cuts and bruises. Hopefully next time she'll just call a cab.

Library undergoes million-dollar renovations
January 20, 2010 12:00 am by Diedra Rodriguez
The USF Library is getting a makeover.
Whether it's remodeling the structure of the building's layout, fixing some electrical problems or extending its hours, the library is experiencing plenty of much-needed changes, according to students and university officials.
Student Government (SG) Vice President Bruno'Portigliatti said two of the changes include new furniture and more electric outlets.
'They are adding round tables 'hellip; round booths on the first floor so (students) can work in groups,' he said. 'The tables will have a huge"U' sign.'
More electric outlets in the lobbies will provide improved access to power for'students who use laptops, said Tom Cetwinski, Director of Administrative Services.
'That would be more convenient to have more plugs, (but) not very energy-efficient,' said Alicia Berta, a graduate student in social work. 'That would encourage more people to go to the library.'
New carpet will be installed, too. But Cetwinski said the color has not been determined, though he said a brighter color would help 'brighten up the place up and make it more inviting.'
'Within in the next couple of weeks you'll see one spot of the floor that will have a new finish on it in the lobby,' he said. 'We are going to be'testing out different kinds of floor coverings.'
David Delisle, a senior majoring in interpersonal Communications who uses the library frequently to study, said change in flooring is needed.
'Some rooms are kind of ratty and have a mildew smell to them,' he said. 'If they are going to spend money, I think the library is something they need to spend money on.'
The University is using'$1 million of Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) funds from the state for part of the USF Student Success program, Cetwinski said. All of that money has gone to renovate the library, Portigliatti said.
The library has already implemented new hours,'keeping the first floor open'24 hours Sunday-Thursday. When SG discussed the'24/5 project with the library's'administration, they also shared renovation plans, Portigliatti said.
Cetwinski said that a majority of the renovations would take place on the first floor.
'It's really important that these changes take place because 24/5 right now is on the first floor of the library,' Cetwinski said. 'It's not extended to all the floors. So we have to make sure that the first floor will suffice for all students that come in.'
Administration began planning the renovations last fall semester, and are still in the planning stages,'Cetwinski said.
Cetwinski said that a majority of the construction will take place during the end of the spring semester and'throughout the summer semester, when traffic in the library is minimal.
The sections of the library that are undergoing renovations will be 'sectioned off' so the remaining areas can be utilized, he said.
'We don't want to disrupt too much during the'semester,' he said. 'At the end of the spring semester that is when we will start (construction), so it should be completed by the fall.'

The baseball team has been selling caps for $30. PHOTO: CHARLES VANEGAS
Funds batted in
In Sports November 29, 2013 Leave a Comment
By Devin Jones
Many early mornings, Ryerson students can find Keith Capstick on campus selling Rams baseball caps in the hopes of raising money for his team.
"Selling the hats just allow us to build the program, and make the future years cost less for the players" said Capstick, a catcher for the Ryerson Rams baseball team. "We're selling our hats in the hopes of raising enough money to build our program financially, and end this fiscal year in the green."
The baseball team, which just wrapped up its inaugural season this past fall under the guidance of head coach Ben Rich, is a Ryerson team that isn't funded by the university because it is classified as a club.
"We're currently on a two-year probation period," said Rich. "We must show [Ryerson] Athletics that we can be a financially self-sustaining team, and a feasible team in terms of competitiveness and year-over-year student interest."
Rich also said that, at the end of the two-year probation period, he and his staff would have a conversation regarding the future relationship between athletics and the team.
Each player on the team has been asked to sell five hats for $30 each, with 24 players on the team, the Rams have already generated $1,000 dollars profit for the club. However, this is only one part of the baseball team's bigger strategy in terms of fundraising.
"We're brainstorming right now, definitely in the spring we plan on having some student nights, as well as more pub nights like the one we did last spring," said outfielder Jason Te
The Rams also have a raffle contest in the works, with big name prizes coming from West Jet Airlines, who have donated tickets to anywhere in Canada. As well, a variety of smart phones and tablets have been donated for the raffle.
"You know, I think fundraising is a part of the job description, it comes with the territory," said Rich. "We knew it was something we had to do, and it's something you plan for as a coach. The more money we can pull in, the less money the guys have to pay to play."
The Rams, in their first season, received a substantial amount of funding from the Project-Funds Allocation Committee For Students, otherwise known as P-FACS, a Ryerson school funding committee, that has covered most of the cost of our uniforms."
All of the fundraising the team has been doing to lower player costs has garnered a sense of responsibility and team camaraderie. So instead of the players just playing baseball, they now have a sense of ownership surrounding their team.
"The fundraising has added to the team bonding that's for sure," said pitcher Toby Kerr. "You go out and sell the raffle tickets with your teammates, it definitely adds a sense of responsibility."
The baseball caps, which are flex fit, are exclusive to the team and cannot be found in any stores on campus. They began selling in mid September, and will continue to sell until the team has run out.
"These hats are exclusive to us," said Rich. "We went out and got them ourselves, they're a replica of what the guys wear on the field."
The Rams face a multitude of expenses throughout the season, from the cost of renting fields, to the cost of transportation and paying umpire fees; all of which is paid for by players fees and all of the fundraising the team plans on doing.
"We're playing baseball at the highest level possible, but we're not receiving the funding for it," said Kerr. "We don't have full varsity team status, and so we're facing a unique situation."

Blaise Pascal Research Papers discuss his invention of the first adding machine that came about 300 years ago.
There are many important mathematicians in science but seldom do math professors require research papers on them. A research paper on Blaise Pascal presents an opportunity to write about a great mathematician, engineer, inventor and physicist.
Blaise Pascal research paper due and don't know how to start it? How about like this?
Blaise Pascal was born on June 19, 1623 in Auvergne; he died on August 19, 1662, in intense pain from cancer. He led a fascinating life in his short 39 years. When he was born, his father was a successful lawyer. His mother died when he was only three years old. He had one older and one younger sister. Pascal was a sickly child-the effect of being brought up without a mother, an only son between two sisters. His health and the fact that his father insisted on educating him at home played a part in his development as a child. His father was an accomplished mathematician, as well as a successful lawyer, and he educated him from 1631 until 1640, which gave him a solid foundation in Latin, Greek, mathematics and science.
It is amazing that Pascal invented the first adding machine over 300 years ago. In fact, it is even hard to imagine that his calculating machine is a precursor of today's giant computer systems. Although the possibility of calculating large sums by machine had been thought of before Pascal, he was the first to bring it to realization. The idea of Pascal's machine a calculator came to Pascal toward the end of 1640, but it wasn't until two years later that his first model was finished.
Had he done nothing else in his short years, his mathematical work by itself would have made him forever famous. Some of his work that he was able to get published has actually disappeared, while other writings never even reached the stage to be published, but what did make it and stayed is substantial and, to say the very least, is impressive. "…Pascal's early introduction to geometry seems to reveal his characteristic scientific mentality-an inquisitive impatience combined with independent judgment and issuing in cogently reasoned demonstration".
Pythagoras research papers examine the Greek mathematician and philosopher best remembered for his contribution to geometry, the Pythagorean theorem.
Descartes research papers examine the French philosopher and mathematician who is best remembered for the phrase. Order a research paper on Descartes from Paper Masters.

Abandoned Baton Rouge: Abandoned Baton Rouge: The Book!
Quick intro for the newcomers, because I'm happy to report there are still newcomers to Abandoned Baton Rouge.
To start from the beginning, here is the first post.
It's not Louisiana, but you should also check out the posts on my old personal blog about deserted Borscht Belt resorts in New York's Catskills, starting here.
And please don't use any photos from this site without asking permission and giving a credit.
Specifically Baton Rouge area locations?
I doubt this is news to you, but have you seen the "abandoned louisiana" group on Facebook? There are more than 45,000 members and more photos/stories about long-forgotten places than I can count.
I actually didn't know about that, thanks so much, Jan!
I hope the local NPR station hears about your book. They covered a book about New Orleans history (Bachelor in New Orleans) and several of us went out and bought it!
Keep up the good work, it is really fascinating and the pictures are so cool.
I'll have to get in touch with them when it's out. Thanks, Katie! I'm loving working on the book.
Looking forward to checking out the book! There are so many amazing abandoned buildings around Baton Rouge. Should be quite an interesting read.
My husband worked there when they filmed The Toy! He was a bellman! Richard Pryor, his housekeeper, Gladys, stayed there!


Other Abstract: From the 1870s-1930s, the concept of monogamy started to gain importance in the context of Siam's rapid modernization in response to Western imperialist threats. Ultimately, this led to the promulgation, in 1935, of the Civil and Commercial Code, book V (family), which endorses monogamy, resulting in the establishment of monogamous culture in the 1940s. This thesis investigates the origins of the concept of monogamy through debates in the drafting process of the modern family law and in various media channels. These debates sought to transform monogamy into a symbol of Western modernity that could be adopted in Siam in a way that would not contradict the traditional Siamese family culture, which was largely polygamous. This thesis proposes that there are three major factors that made monogamy possible in Thai society. Firstly, it was due to the intellectual framework that was guiding Siam's modernization in the midst of Western influences. Secondly, the encounter with Western imperialist threats forced Siam to establish a modern family legal code according to Western standards. Finally, monogamy was supported by the emergence of a middle class population that tended to oppose the largely polygamous elite. Ultimately, although monogamy came to be an integral part of the modern family law, the polygamous lifestyle has not been completely rejected. In other words, the traditional family had been transformed to better comply with the modern way of life.


By the end of the 1980s, rural-to-urban migration and especially emigration to Europe and North America had become common coping strategies — and enduring ones. Faced with low remuneration, lack of job security, and poor management of the health-care system, many Gambians, especially those working or aspiring to work in the medical field, began moving abroad for better opportunities.
The 1994 military coup — during which current president Yahya Jammeh took power — caused an increase in asylum seekers, and so prompted the United Kingdom and other European countries to require Gambians to obtain a visa before travelling. However, despite the tightening of immigration policies and enforcement, large numbers of young Gambian men continued to migrate to Europe, legally and illegally, in search of better opportunities.
There are currently dozens of diaspora associations in the United States, Spain, and other major destination countries for Gambian migrants. Among the most prominent are The Gambian American Association of greater Washington DC, Atlanta Gambia Emergency Relief Association (Agera), Seattle Gambian Association, Gambia United Society (United Kingdom), and Gambians in Finland Association. The main goal of these associations is addressing the welfare of Gambians in their respective communities.
The Gambian government has only very recently begun reaching out to and recognizing the contributions of its citizens abroad. In 2012, the mandate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Gambians Abroad was expanded to take on directly all diaspora affairs. Previously, there was no centralized, official agency dealing with these issues.
At the time of the writing of this article, The Gambia did not have a comprehensive migration policy but instead dealt with issues such as illegal immigration on a case-by-case basis. Although in 2006 the governments of The Gambia and Spain signed an immigration agreement aimed to control illegal immigration, many argue that the agreement did not go far enough as more young Gambians continued their attempt to enter Spain illegally.
For example, in 2008 a Spanish plane deporting more than 100 unauthorized migrants to The Gambia was forced to return to Spain with all passengers still on board, after Gambian authorities refused to let the deportees disembark. In addition, a pact aimed at combating illegal migration through capacity building of the Gambian immigration personnel was signed between the Gambia and Italy in 2013.
The Gambia is a signatory of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (1951 Convention) and its 1967 Protocol, but maintains reservations on its clauses providing exemptions for refugees from exceptional and provisional measures, the right to work, labor protection, social security, and administrative assistance.
The Gambia also signed the 1969 Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa. Recognizing The Gambia as a destination for West African refugees, deputies of the Gambian National Assembly in 2008 unanimously passed a Refugee Bill, which established The Gambia Commission for Refugees, a body that is tasked with coordinating and managing policy matters relating to refugee affairs in the country.
