The Pros And Cons Of Social Trust
He mentioned that haves are treated by Others with more honesty and respect (Putnam, 2000, p. 138). Fukuyama's views on social trust Trust is regarded as a necessity component of running a smooth society (Giddens, 1990) and it helps to glue the society together (Luhmann, 1979). All the theorists of the social capital theory also have identified trust as essentiatial and necessary componenet of social capital (Graham, 2016). Putnam has also mentioned about the trust and he has talked about the thick trust and thin trust (Putnam, 2001). But Putnam understand the Trust in a narrow sense and he provide minimal distinction between thick trust and thin trust (Graham, 2016:23). Trust embedded in personal relationships which are strong can be categories…show more content…
To activate social capital both internal and external organisations are required, NGOs and CBOs can play an important role to activate the social capital (Ahmed and Haque, 2007). As we have identified Putnam and Fukuyama also highlighted that voluntary associations and community organisations are important to create social capital. Graham (2016: 24), "social capital is maintaining within the sphere of civil society, through voluntary associations and everyday social interactions ". Putnam (1993), also defines social capital as features of social organisations such as networks, norms and trust that facilitate coordination and cooperation for mutual benefits (Adhikari,2008). Putnam explains the forms of social capital dividing to two main sections as formal and informal. Formal forms of social capital like PTA (Parent-Teacher associations), national organisations, labour unions where formally organised with a chairmen, president and memberships (Putnam, 2001b). Informal forms of social capital can explain as group people gather in a bar every week end, going clubs in Friday evening (ibid). but those two forms constitute network in which there can easily make reciprocity (Putnam, 2001b). CBOs as a formal form of social capital which is working for building social network, and social trust and it leads to the reciprocity. Edward (2004:07) explains the importance of voluntary organisations in a society, as it creates curbing the power of centralised institution, protecting pluralism and nurturing constructive social norms such as trust and cooperation among different groups (). When Putnam is explaining the social bridges, he has explained the importance of social bridges as it creates more connections between the host society (Putnam, 2001). Moreover, he has clearly mentions the existing social bridges in the society and local community organisations and voluntary associations can
Civic Professionalism In Education
What really distinguishes each conceptis the ethical dimension of professionalism that is "institutionalized in the profession's social contract" (Sullivan 2005, p. 23) with the public. ForSullivan (2004,2005), this dimension is the most essential, yet most jeopardized, dimension of professionalism. Sullivan (2004)has further argued that professionals and their professions are directly pledged to the ideals of public service. Professionals make an implicit pledge and social contract with the public that they will deploy their skills and expertise to advance "the social values in the interest of those they serve" (Sullivan 2004,p. 15).
The Importance Of Social Norms
In social capital research, scholars typically assume a connection between networks and norms, and argue that increase in social capital produce positive outcome, though not always but often (Horne 2007). Since norms are formed and maintained by networks of interpersonal interactions beyond agreements (Friedkin 2001), they will form a strong influence on group-based behaviour and are difficult to change (Parks 2011). Hence in various instances, norms are seen as basis of building and maintaining personalised trust, and also to define what actions are acceptable or unacceptable (Lyon 2000) - providing a social standard of behaviour that drives the coordination for individuals during conflict situations (Fujiwara and Postlewaite 1995). Thus, norms are more precisely described as: (i) a behavioural regularity (Coleman 1990; Horne 2001) (ii) It is based on a socially shared belief how one ought to behave, which triggers (iii) the enforcement of the prescribed behaviour by informal social sanctions (Fehr and Gachter 1998; 2000). In nutshell, norms are rules about the behaviour that are enforced through social sanctions affecting the people behaviour (Coleman 1990; Horne 2001).
Explain Ethical Considerations When Conducting Social Research
Ethical Considerations when conducting social research Question 1: Describe ethical issues associated with conducting research with culturally diverse, socially disenfranchised, and vulnerable populations. As students and practitioners of Social Work; national and personified codes demonstrate the importance of; personal autonomy and self-determination, with protections of vulnerable populations, with promotion of social welfare and equity for all. Including provisions upholding ethical standards and considerations when researching culturally diverse, socially disenfranchised and vulnerable populations (Gostin, 1991). Ethically speaking; researchers should treat individuals fairly with relevance and unbiased selection. Keeping all participants free of discomfort and harm, with awareness of benefits and risks involved or potentially involved.
Social Responsibility Analysis
Social responsibility is defined as a honest and right explanation of why something works or happens the way it does, dealing with person's duty and action that affects the community of people and all good people in the world. However, this topic falls into one part of a group that includes civic responsibility. These actions that are involving democratic legal control, the well-being of the community and personal relations, duties to provide for the community, and as well as social responsibility.When the balance between the three is created, a socially responsible American is believed to be produced. To maintain the balance, one must show moral and ethical qualities. These qualities are displayed in many ways including: social interaction,
Subsidiarity In Social Work
Further, the principle of subsidiarity should be applied in the social work practices with the most affected members of the society. The central aspect of subsidiarity is the recognition of human dignity and every subject's indisputable worthiness. Having this in mind, a social worker should consider his client as a human being in his totality (Petružytė, Girdzijauskienė, Gvaldaitė, 2004). If one follows this principle, he does not affect the dignity in the helping process; when the dignity is already affected or violated, he helps to restore it. Every individual feels a necessity for fulfilment and happiness – these are the main aspirations; all the rest of necessities are circumstanced by this aspiration (Vittadini, 1997).
Pcs Analysis In Social Work
According to Lena Dominelli and Malcolm Payne, anti-oppressive practice is a type of social work practice that concentrates on social inequality and structural shortfalls in the relationship between social workers and the service user. (Payne, 2002). This type of social work practice addresses the service user's needs despite their social status by providing a suitable and responsive approach. Central to anti-oppressive practice is a humanistic and person centered approach which incorporates egalitarian values that are concerned with the implementation of social justice. (Dominelli,
Supportive Social Environment
Murthey and Klugman further suggests to establish strong democracy , media and strong social movement for promotion as pre- requisite for community participation in Sexual and Reproductive health and promote culture of claiming rights . It was noted by Lodenstein et al ( 2013) that social accountability effectiveness is influenced by contextual situation . In a critical realist synthesis of literature on social accountability, they have presented a hypothesized framework of Social Accountability with configuration of context , mechanism and outcome , summarized that SA is context sensitive and outcomes are triggers by mechanisms through Citizen engagement and collective action (Lodenstein, Dieleman, Gerretsen, & Broerse,
The Function Of Public Ethics In Public And Public Life
Public Ethics Public ethics is related to public life. Public life means that vast collection of political, cultural, social and economic structures, organizations and institutions, including the workplace, which make up cohesive societies. People who are engaged in leadership positions and who actually influence the lives of others are engaged in public life. A society is said to be healthy if there is a widespread participation by its citizens in public affairs and in the institutions that make up civil society. Each of us has the obligation to contribute to the building of social capital, that is to say, to the forces and influences which bind us in community spirit and concern for each other.
Theories In Relational Exchange Theory
Relational exchange Theory Relational exchange theory is based on sociology. Relational exchange also can be defined as an interactive process, where mutual understandings were developed, commitments were made and finally achieved the desired outcomes. The relational exchange theory believes that the relational norms are the tools for controlling opportunism and create a healthy long-term collaborative framework. The relational exchange arrangement can be viewed as a method to fix the flaws of formal contract, which undermines trust and thereby encourage the opportunistic behavior. The core of the theory is relational norms which can help build up an effective contract governance, and eventually achieve a better vendor- customer relationship.
Importance Of Social Trust
Institutional trust is the trust in the formal institutions of governances. 3.02 Norms - Social norms are shared understanding in a community about what actions are proper or correct, or improper or incorrect, and actors enforce norms to perpetuate the social systems to which they are committed (Bendor and Swistak, 2001, Coleman, 1990). To put it in simple words, social norms are what people would generally do in a certain situation based on the expectations they know the society has from them. Social norms go hand in hand with formal and informal sanctions, which ensure that norms are a part of social

ACC VALUE CHAMPIONS | A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO ACC DOCKET 4 is the order of the day. At Telstra, that can-do attitude was formalized into an Innovation Forum that draws on the frustrations and ideas of legal department members to find creative solutions to shared problems. In a true demonstration of nimbleness and agility, those solutions are rapidly prototyped and tried out for a period of eight weeks. Working with design thinking experts at co-Champ Herbert Smith Freehills, inefficiencies from unfocused meetings to low-risk communications reviews have been fodder for this creative approach, which has yielded new guidelines and processes that save thousands of hours every year.
Taking a page from the manufacturing world, Verizon's legal department applied Lean Six Sigma principles to transform contracting from a prolonged and confusing experience to a simplified, standardized process that repositioned the function as a competitive advantage. The data-centric approach winnowed and streamlined the terms of the contracts themselves, then incorporated them into a streamlined approach that works in countries around the world while keeping customer experience as its North Star.
As we conclude the sixth year of the ACC Value Champions program, there is much evidence that the in-house legal field is adopting value techniques in greater numbers and with greater creativity and impact. They are cementing their role as strategic partners to the business by building up in-house expertise in specialized areas, increasing headcount and insourcing the most strategic work rather than sending it outside. In complement to the initiatives described above, Champs such as Avis Budget Group and Express Scripts have expanded their legal department capabilities to bring high-value, high-risk work inside, including litigation. Meanwhile, other Champs created new roles that signify even keener attention to optimizing the legal department's operations and budgets: ADM added a global director of law and compliance operations. BASF hired a controller for the legal department, while Shell added a global sourcing officer.

He is an intermediate to intermediate ten years old. Although Mizuno's racket was not interested, I tried buying it because Hayakawa was using it. Feeling It is fairly light, I think that a non-powerful person can not fly at all because the shaft is hard. I think that it can be said that it is a racket specialized for attacks with small shots such as drive, receive, avant garde. On the contrary, it can not hit a heavy ball with smash, and it is difficult to return when it is driven down. So I will not recommend it in singles. We do not recommend it for those who like doubles' guards. It is a perfect racket for those who are good at doubles avant - garde or receive.
I thought that shooting avant-garde shots such as drive and push are not easy to beat easily. I thought it was a racket that was not superior to the back guard but not personally fit.
Goro	(Experience:6〜10 years)	It is easy to strike and has few disadvantages.
The shot feeling is very good with the influence of the head heavy, I feel elongation in the ball hitting. It is also a feature that the grip is very familiar to the hand, it is like a part of the hand. I do not slip at all. Slightly light smash is easy to strike. It's easy to walk around, it's a good racket that protects you and protects it.
Remarks	(Experience:11〜20 years)	Pleasure is when you smash.
The Mizuno Caliber VS tour is used now in the game. If anything it is a racket for power hitters. Easy to control and easy to use. When roughly saying, the powerful smash is decided. Even if you use it, you feel good.
Dandelion	(Experience:6〜10 years)	The refreshing feeling when hitting Smash is not hampered!
At first, I liked the looking design and I bought it, but I was surprised at the good feeling of using it when I tried it. Unlike the racket I used to date, smash with a good speed is striking a bang bang. It is a racket that can not be seen with disadvantages because it can control lazy shots freely.
The racket is light, and the speed feeling of swinging out the racket is wonderful. A light racquet leads you to avoid fatigue, so you can take advantage of it at the end of the game. If we can swing racquets fast at the second half of the game we are getting tired, we will approach victory.

When Maryland's Republican Gov. Larry Hogan recently vetoed a congressional-redistricting reform bill that he described as "phony," he was being unduly charitable.
Mr. Hogan also called the measure a "smoke screen," but if the Democrat-dominated General Assembly intended for it to be a smoke screen, it was an epic failure. Political smoke screens are meant to obscure and cover things up, but the vetoed measure was transparent in its intent to preserve a self-serving political status quo in Maryland.
Ninety-five years of Democrats' stranglehold on Maryland politics is enough.
Mr. Hogan has submitted legislation in each of his first three years in Annapolis that would turn responsibility for reconfiguring congressional and state legislative districts over to an independent board. The next redistricting will occur after the 2020 decennial census.
Not surprisingly, the bill went nowhere in the General Assembly, where Democrats enjoy veto-proof majorities in both chambers, due in no small part to gerrymandering.
Unashamed, Annapolis Democrats agreed to turn redistricting over to an independent panel, but only if five other East Coast states — Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey — joined Maryland in a regional compact and did so first.
To their credit, two liberal groups, Common Cause Maryland and the League of Women Voters, applauded Mr. Hogan's veto.
Both have advocated nonpartisan redistricting and said the multistate compact — the cynical, too-clever-by-half idea of state Sen. Craig Zucker, Montgomery Democrat — "set an impossibly high bar." That, of course, was the intent all along.
Apart from the compact approach reeking of Barack Obama's "leading from behind," if redistricting reform is a good idea, why would you wait for others to go first? Why wouldn't a "progressive" state like Maryland want to lead by example?
While indefensible, it's also understandable why Maryland Democrats would prefer the status quo. Incredibly, it's enabled them to hold onto veto-proof majorities in Annapolis for nearly a century, since 1922.
Ironically, the Democrats' current supermajority might well enable them to enact the sham redistricting bill over Mr. Hogan's veto. That would require 85 votes in the House, where the bill received 87, and 29 in the Senate, where it got 30.
That's all the more reason Maryland Republicans should go all out in their plan to flip five seats in the state Senate, thereby breaking Democrats' one-party stranglehold on the state and eliminating their veto-proof majority in at least one chamber of the legislature.
Those supermajorities have enabled them to spurn compromise and override several of Mr. Hogan's vetoes and ram through unwise legislation on matters ranging from restoring voting rights for felons on probation or parole to a costly renewable-energy scheme.
Mr. Hogan, currently enjoying a 65 percent job-approval rating, is set to put his considerable political capital behind Maryland Republicans' "Drive for Five" campaign in 2018, when he will be up for re-election.
To that end, they've targeted six state Senate districts — in Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Frederick counties and on the Eastern Shore — that the Democrats won narrowly despite Mr. Hogan winning them by wide margins in 2014.

Retention & Engagement
Understanding the mindset of millennials
Judith E. Glaser
In the workplace, millennials are known for certain characteristics, such as being comfortable with uncertainty and technology, and having a hardwired sense of inclusion.
Given that minds and neural patterns develop in response to lived experiences, this made us wonder: How have the experiences common to this generation shaped their social brain development, mindset and how they relate to others in the workplace?
To help answer that question, we talked with a group of millennials — Austin Root, Drew Seward, Lexie Komisar, Laura Vang, and Sarah McNee — working at IBM. During these conversations, we chose to disregard some typical and often negatively inflected myths about millennials, and consider ways that the millennials' childhood experiences may have harnessed positive neuroplasticity and shaped their mindsets to enable them to adapt — and even thrive — in our rapidly changing world.
What we discovered is that the millennial mindset is evolving. With an open, fresh perspective, let's explore the powers and characteristics of this "Millennial Possibility Mindset."
Commitment to sharing and inclusion
Millennials were raised on the philosophy that "everyone gets a trophy." The upside of this is that they have an implicit belief that everyone has something to contribute. This generation has embraced the creation of a "shared economy ethic." They have upended many institutional hierarchies and some institutions through contributing disruptive ideas, technologies, and businesses based on sharing items and information.
Many of the IBM employees we talked to affirm this belief:
"I think millennials have a lot to share. I think all different generations inside the company have a lot to share, and it's about us drawing from our collective experiences, and history…it's about learning and having conversations, because that's actually how you create thriving, open, organizations." (Laura Vang)
"You're not trying to one-up everyone else or get ahead while other people fall behind. It's more of lifting everybody up together. I've never met a millennial who is just all for themselves and is unwilling to help anybody else." (Austin Root)
"We believe that the best ideas don't necessarily come from a leader. They come from different parts of an organization and from around the world." (Drew Seward)
"We're entrepreneurial, communicative, and collaborative. We've grown up in the generation that communicates and is transparent." (Lexie Komisar)
When this sense of self is fostered as part of a collective group, it creates engaged employees who can focus less on standing out and more on being a part of something larger than themselves.
Neuroscience research identifies a place in the brain that activates when we share or even think about sharing something with others. It's called the Temporoparietal Junction (TPJ). Perhaps many Millennials can activate the TPJ more easily, and consider and comfortably engage with a wider diversity of people.
Interestingly, no one in the IBM group felt generational ownership of the term Millennial. Instead, they were sure that anyone, of any age, could share their perspectives.
Entitled or eager to engage?
These days, some leaders say they struggle with millennial workers who don't seem to understand deferential communication. Some say these younger colleagues are entitled or disrespectful.
Many millennials grew up with more parental consideration; they were seen and heard, asked and answered. They also had social connections at the move of a mouse. They could easily message a friend or game with someone on another continent.
They may not feel or behave like they have to earn their place or their voice, assuming a more equal sharing of power. But they are totally willing to take up their part of the load, especially when meaning and a story connect with the goals.
Power — with and for all
We propose that millennials' childhood relationships and experiences helped them develop a different internal concept of the social connections that surround them. They see them as more "horizontal" and full of options, versus hierarchical and limited.
Today's realities require pervasive or distributed leadership in businesses and communities, where work is spread among people who value their part in a greater whole, and can self-manage and co-create toward a common goal.
Moving forward, humans need trust and transparency more than protectionism and siloing. The Millennial Possibility Mindset helps us flourish in a more inclusive and interconnected world, sharing power and unleashing potential.
As Sarah McNee articulated it, "Leadership is about being open with your team. It's about uniting team members behind a common purpose, and creating an environment where they can jump in with their ideas and knowledge."
Embracing uncertainty and diversity
Being more open and inclusive means life is less predictable. It means that we may encounter more differences.
That may create discomfort for some. Our brains function, in part, as efficient predictors. For generations, many folks have been raised to believe there is one right answer. They feel most comfortable with certainty, order and predictability.
Our brains also evolved to quickly identify "friend or foe" based on predictability and commonality as a cue for safety. But this old "neuro-model," based on a simplistic definition of "like me, not like me," no longer suffices for contemporary relating.
Today, we need to see all our co-workers, of all tones and worldviews, as enough "like us" to learn and work together. In rapidly changing circumstances, having more comfort and trust with a large swath of humanity and approaching unknowns or problems with curiosity and flexibility, can be key to survival. Organizations thrive on innovations that emerge from open and energized collaboration and co-creation.
Staying comfortable and thoughtful in the face of differences, unknowns and uncertainties requires an override of our automatic nervous system, which interprets uncertainty as a stressor or threat and responds to it with discomfort or confusion.
Run away? No way!
Millennials were the first folks to grow up with endless information and the full panorama of humanity available for viewing at the touch of a button. This increased their exposure to variety, complexity and the capacity to explore.
This may have changed their reaction to uncertainty, even helping them develop a new perception of and response to "not knowing." They know how to approach it, rather than avoid it. As some millennials that we talked to put it:
"Uncertainty is just a constant, that's just life. For me and for a lot of my peers, uncertainty really is opportunity." (Lexie Komsar)
"If you're not the right person, what's your 'yes, and'? What's your next step to go and further move something forward?" (Sarah McNee)
"Failure excites me just as much as succeeding. What you get from failure is learning. 'Cause there's no such thing as failing; it's just what you take from that experience to guide you." (Austin Root)
We wonder if the Millennial Possibility Mindset rides on a nervous system made more familiar with uncertainty and differences. Therefore, millennials run less of the sympathetic arousal response of flight/fight and more on the response of social engagement and curiosity.
Implications of the millennial mindset
In the old model of defensive reactivity, an activated amygdala and fear circuits overwhelm higher brain functioning. But imagine how having a new model would allow people to approach uncertainty with confidence and optimism, believing that it's okay not to know and to just keep trying something. This calmer inner attitude serves as a springboard for asking questions for which answers are not known, quickly learning from mistakes and comfortably welcoming different perspectives.
"I think that some of the conversations tend to have less boundaries," said Drew Seward. "We don't feel there are hard limits and, thus, extend our vision of what Is possible."
These two adaptive mind qualities work synergistically. Unpredictability (uncertainty and difference) becomes an invitation for curiosity, connecting and co-creating. Feeling part of a trusting team with shared power makes approaching dilemmas easier. The possibilities for figuring out how to thrive together become magnified.
This is the Millennial Possibility Mindset.

open letter for Mr WEBB.
Topic: open letter for Mr WEBB.
Once again, we see the likes of Mr Webb, saying the closure of Honda is down to Brexit, and so all you out voters are to blame. He really needs to take a look at his side of life, The Uk cannot sign a deal with an outside country but has to go through the EU first. Over the last few months, the EU has signed a trade deal with Japan, so now Japan can now sell its goods direct to the EU countries. They have a car pant that can produce everything that was being made in the UK plant and the one in Turkey. So there is now no need for those factories, Japan can now sell direct and save on the production costs involved. If anybody is to blame it is the EU themselves for signing this deal in the first place, but don't expect any remainers to tell you this.
Re: open letter for Mr WEBB.
I see in today's democratic adver, there is an article to describe the vigil in the town centre on Saturday, to remember those killed in N Zealand last week, Can the union or the Mr Webb, say when they will have a vigil for the 112 Christians, killed last week in Nigeria, by Muslims, or is that a phobia people have about Muslims?

Doesn't bother me that the governor got caught drinking. Does bother me that she threw her weight around, wasted the 911 operator's time, and showed her vindictive side – then gave us a damage-control "apology" containing bald-faced lies.
For years, observers have described her as vindictive, and there's now a federal grand jury interested in whether she abused her position as DA to get back at folks who opposed her. Now that unfortunate character flaw is on audiotape.
(2) saying the party wasn't noisy. Hotel guests had complained for a long time. Hotel staff had repeatedly warned the group. When the cops went up to the room, a woman sitting outside said it had been very noisy for a long time.
Ex-D.A. Martinez criticizes the cops. She should understand that police endanger themselves by not taking calls like this seriously.
Although Martinez says there were no weapons and no danger, the police couldn't rule out either based on the available information. They didn't know how many people were in the room, how intoxicated those people were, or whether or not they had weapons.
Ex-D.A. Martinez should know that 911dispatchers shouldn't give out a complainant's name to the subject of the complaint. She was asking for special treatment. She also should not have tried to bully the desk clerk into identifying the complainant(s).
Ex-D.A. Martinez knows that 911 dispatchers' time is valuable. Citizens should keep their calls short. But our governor kept a dispatcher and supervisor on the line for a collective six minutes plus – not to report an emergency but to complain about being complained about, and to seek the names of the complainant(s).
Let's assume that Martinez wasn't influenced by alcohol: that means that when completely sober she's a vindictive bully, she isn't very truthful or considerate, and she has the bad judgment to confront a desk clerk in person, letting her bullying, condescension, and sarcasm be recorded for all to hear.
How's that better than getting smashed now and then? Next time, blame it on the bubbly.

This is update on this review, which I did in 2015, Demonic recently release on DVD by Lionsgate Home Entertainment, also by Spike TV.
Demonic is a horror film that has taken a winding path and continues on the journey for the proper presentation to horror fans worldwide, first the film, started under the name House of Horror in 2011 with James Wan to produce it, and then in 2013 reborn with current title. While Wan stayed on as producer he joined with six other producers namely Bob and Harvey Weinstein, and yet to hit the US market in any capacity, not even film festivals, so to state the least the film's journey continues a dark venture. Director Will Canon, who is an experienced director, though his first venture into the horror genre a with a creation that mixes the found footage genre with possession and a haunted tale, filmed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, using the script by Max La Bella and Doug Simon.
It is a simple enough setup, by first introducing the audience to Detective Mark Lewis (Frank Grillo (Mother's Day (2010)) to investigate a disturbance in an old house, abandoned and supposedly haunted. Upon his investigation numerous dead young adults, murder and butchered, and one sole survivor, and quickly the location transforms into a crime scene and a call to his love interest Dr. Elizabeth Klein (Maria Bello (The Dark (2005) brought in to examine the survivor and suspect John (Dustin Milligan). The story involves the summoning and failed attempt to contact through a séance and conjurer a ghost in the Martha Livingstone home. Now an interesting tie-in to the found footage aspect the police are shown trying to reboot and uncorrupt the files of the cameras, thereby show true raw data, nothing edited together, allowing brief images to shock the officers and piece together the storyline through bits and uttering statements. Hence a spoon-feed script that trivializes the plot and treats the audience as little children, insulting their intelligence, until the traction suffers and loses momentum all at the wrong times. At times one can sense the input and guidance from James Wan, trying to right and steady the ship and bring shivers, unfortunately the final destination lies in dry dock, and covered in cobwebs, serving as a lesson to filmmakers to make sure the screenplay readies itself beforehand, with multiple rewrites by the same team.
Most of the movie, involves interacts of Mark and Klein, and similar to the cop thriller of Deliver Us From Evil (2014), delivering a few scares but not enough to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, and flirts with revealing more, but never fulfills the promise. The narrative works to a limited standpoint and the POV takes over, and evaporates quickly, noting plot holes in the screen hurried production, and then slamming the brakes to stop the process. The movie, plagued with countless rewrites, and each time partial scripts used to create a new one, and then production lagging starts, with two directors abandoning the project, Javier Gutierrez and Xavier Gens, the green light signal the go ahead. However, the starting points from the different act missed the direct action, for example, one of the ghost hunters identified as an occult specialist, and this namely would conjurer the interest to focus on them. Then the numerous clichés repeated often, mixed with warnings of taboos only to break them, and the customary abandoned house with a grim reputation, and no true direction of why spirit finds itself trapped inside, and not able to venture outside on the grounds, until much later in the film. The key many haunted house stories, allow the location to speak, and the set design, gives it volumes but sadly, the filmmakers mute it, and muzzle it for far too much of the movie.
While many found footage films lay scattered across a battlefield of disinterest, with only few achieving worthy viewing status, this film crawls across, having a rare opportunity to view the movie, I found it better than many films that fall into this category. The sad development of this film, created in Louisiana, with more favorable tax benefits and yet not released in the states, for the majority of fans to enjoy, though the Turkish translation of the film, gives it a true punch to encourage viewership, as it's called "Satanic Spirits".

Ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for but was very happy to get?
No, I haven't got it yet. But I know I will be very excited when it happens.
My godmother surprised me with a Tiffany heart charm bracelet one day randomly after I gave her a compliment that I liked her bracelet from Tiffany's. So, next day she went out and bought me one and came over to surprise me with it along with a very sweet card that I always kept. She lived in Chicago and I lived in another state, so this happened one summer when I was visiting family.
A couple years later, she got cancer and ended up passing away (she was 40 and had 2 young kids). The bracelet that she gave me goes everywhere I go and it is my good luck charm. She was the best kind of person that there is. In the card she gave me, she wrote that she hopes to spend more time with me. That time never came, unfortunately. Her motto was, "I love you more."
There's sorrow, happiness, high spirits, all at the same time in this story. Well written.


With the proliferation of Flash games and animations out there, it's a wonder more people aren't reviewing them. Maybe it's because any old hack can cobble together a short video with misshapen and completely stationary Mario sprites on a blank background, lace it with grammatically unstable poop jokes, suddenly end the video with a picture that may scar you for life and mislabel it as "teh awsommest mario battel evar!!1!"; why bother reviewing that?
Because otherwise, somebody might accidentally watch it. That's why.
Fortunately, it seems any old hack can cobble together reviews about Flash games and animations, too—that's where I come in. Every month I pick out a theme, find as many Flash games and videogame-related Flash animations pertaining to that theme as I can possibly tolerate, get hopelessly hooked on one or two of the games I find, and then crank out a short review for the ones that most warrant a mention. Read this column. Its contents will help you on your way.
4 = One of the best Flash games/animations you're likely to see all month.
3 = One of the better Flash games/animations you might see this week.
1 = A waste of time. I watched it so you didn't have to. You owe me.
0 = teh awsommest mario battel evar!!1! lolz.
Length: Very short (less than a minute); continuous loop.
Description: A seizure-inducing collection of random Bubble Bobble-related images flashes across the screen while a thumping remix of the Bubble Bobble theme…um…thumps.
Review: I guess some people actually like flash-frying their retinas. With dinosaurs. I feel a little like I plugged my eyes into an electrical outlet, right below the dinosaur nightlight. Ooh, hello, nausea.
Verdict: 1/5: Too bizarre to rate any better, but too bizarre to rate any worse.
Length: Short (around 1-2 minutes).
Description: This is a harmless slice-of-life video about Yoshi. Well, Yoshi is a videogame-related dinosaur, so I guess it was inevitable that he'd show up here somewhere. And no, you can't have more of a description than that, because it would give away the whole video.
Review: Aside from griping that the audio quality could have been a bit better (sorry, videogame music purist), there's really not much to say about this. It's mildly amusing and pretty decently animated, but not memorable enough that anybody would bother to, I dunno, write a review about it.
Verdict: 2/5: It's cute. The end.
Description: You are the last of the Mohicans. Erm… dinosaurs. Circle the globe to rack up points while dodging the deadly meteors that are raining down on the Earth. If you mess up, it's your fault there are no more dinosaurs.
Review: This curious little game is an acceptable waste of a couple of minutes, but as soon as the repetitive music starts to get on your nerves, that's the game's subtle signal that you really don't need to keep playing. Dodging the instant-kill meteors isn't terribly exciting for very long, but dodging meteors while running along the side or bottom of the planet makes the game interesting enough to at least try out.
Verdict: 2/5: An easy way to kill a few minutes…and a dinosaur, if you're a complete failure.
Description: The dinopocalypse is coming! Rescue as many dinosaur eggs as you can, gobble up smaller animals, and outrun the incoming storm…or become extinct! It's kinda like one big escape sequence from Metroid. Better yet, it's kinda like a prehistoric Sonic the Hedgehog, except you're on the run 100% of the time and your little dinosaur doesn't go around kissing human girls.
Review: Good, retro-style fun: there's fast-paced dino-hopping action, randomized levels, multiple paths, secrets to unlock, chances to upgrade your running and jumping abilities, controls so simple that even a caveman could figure them out, and no way to die except being overcome by the ever-advancing maelstrom of doom. Between the other dinosaurs scrambling for their lives, the meteorites falling from above, and the sky getting darker and more violent as the death storm is about to overtake you, it really does feel like the end of the world. Yay extinction!
Verdict: 4/5: Surprisingly addictive; you'll probably get a lot of mileage out of this game (it runs on fossil fuel).
Description: Robot dinosaurs shoot beams when they roar.
Review: The only thing more ridiculous than the concept of this game—flying a rocket-propelled dinosaur over city rooftops to destroy turrets and spaceships with your laser breath—is not liking this game. Sure, it's short, the visuals are pretty basic, the dino roar is super-cheesy, the plot is utterly absurd, and microwaving a Pop-Tart is almost more challenging than beating this game, but that's why it's so endearing. The game hardly takes itself seriously, and neither should you.
Verdict: 4/5: It's silly, and it's way more entertaining than it ought to be. Plus, you get to play as Meteo's incredibly distant ancestor, Tyrannosaurus X.
Aside from a slew of lackluster Yoshi's Island parodies, there really isn't much more videogame-related dinosaur Flash stuff out there. C'mon, people; I think it's high time for Turok: The Musical. In Polish. And we need at least one Metroid Flash game where you play as Ridley, because Ridley is totally a space dinosaur. Gao.

Seal Beach California
Real estate in Orange County is very desirable and the residents of and visitors to Seal Beach California appreciate the attractions and amenities there. The city was originally named Anaheim Landing, was altered to Bay City and adopted its current name in 1915. The population of over 24,000 includes the citizens of Leisure World, the first gated community of retirees in the United States. This area is also the location for the US Navy's Naval Weapons Station, a research and development facility for torpedoes and missiles. The Boeing Company is the biggest employer in the city. Birdwatchers like to visit the saltwater marsh estuary of the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, which is part of the Weapons Station property.
This means that public access is confined to certain times. Seabirds, migrating shorebirds and waterfowl can be seen here in addition to endangered species, such as the California Least Tern, Savannah Sparrow and Clapper Rail. There is a busy calendar of annual events in the region, including the Pancake Breakfast in April, organized by the fundraising Lions Club. They also run a Fish Fry in July on the same weekend as the rough water swim takes place. April is also the month for the Classic Car Show and Seal Beach California organizes a Sand Castle Festival and a Kite Festival in September.
The year ends with a Christmas Parade in December. The railroad history of the area is featured at the Red Car Museum, where a restored Pacific Electric Railway Red Car is displayed. Theatregoers on Seal Beach California are proud of the Bay Theatre, a venue that shows independent and classic movies and foreign language films. The theatre houses a 1928 constructed Wurlitzer organ, the largest in the world to be found in a working theatre. The pier is another noteworthy landmark and has been rebuilt and repaired on many occasions due to structural damage caused by several storms. It is the second longest pier in the state and is a popular spot to go fishing or have a meal at the restaurant at the end of the pier. Seal Beach California surfers come here and also to Stingray Bay. The men's and women's American Olympic Water Polo team train at the USA Water Polo National Aquatic Center, which is situated on the military training base at nearby Los Alamitos. Images from the region have been used for shots in TV shows and movies, including the soap opera Sunset Beach and the film, American Pie. .

US marketed DCM reaches $1tr at slowest pace in 7 years
Global High Yield Bond Volume ($bn) by Currency (1 Jan - 8 Apr)
By Andrea Krok
$1.02tr: US marketed DCM down 9% Y-o-Y
US marketed DCM volume has surpassed the $1tr mark in 2016 YTD, with $1.02tr issued so far this year. Despite crossing this threshold, volume is down 9% year-on-year, to the
lowest YTD level since 2009 ($985.7bn)
Issuance in April ($273.1bn), however, accounted for a 27% share of total volume in 2016 YTD, the second highest YTD April share on record, after 29% in 2008. The average YTD share of April volume is 22% over the last five years. April 2016 volume was boosted by the $16.5bn sovereign bond priced by Republic of Argentina, the biggest Emerging Markets syndicated bond on record
April 2016 US marketed DCM activity totaled 902 deals, the third highest monthly level over the last 12 months (931 deals in March 2016 and 983 deals in April 2015)

US marketed FIG issuance of $220.2bn in 2016 stands at the third highest YTD volume on record, behind 2014 ($232.8bn) and 2015 ($221.0bn). April accounted for 28% ($62.1bn) of FIG volume, the second highest YTD April share since 44% in 2008 ($69.8bn)
HSBC priced a $7.0bn investment grade bond on March 1, which stands as the largest US marketed FIG issuance so far this year
$33.0bn: April HY volume highest since May 2015
US marketed high-yield (HY) issuance of $77.6bn has dropped 43% year-on-year to the lowest YTD level since 2009 ($20.7bn). April volume ($33.0bn) accounts for 43% of the total so far in 2016 and marks the highest monthly volume since May 2015 ($36.6bn)

Net revenue for US marketed high yield bond has decreased 48% year-on-year to $935m in 2016, from $1.8bn in 2015 YTD and marks the lowest YTD total since 2009 ($309m)

What is INTASC and why are they involved with this project?
What if I want to add a resource to the list of suggested resources?
What if I have a question that I think should be included?
The purpose of this project is to provide general education teachers with quick access to the knowledge and skills required to teach students who have disabilities in the regular classroom. A great resource is the INTASC Model Standards for Licensing General and Special Education Teachers of Students with Disabilities: A Resource for State Dialogue, which were released in May 2001. These standards articulate for the first time what all GENERAL EDUCATION teachers, as well as special education teachers, should know and be able to do to effectively teach students who have disabilities. Not only do the standards outline the differing expertise of general and special educators, but they describe the nature of the collaborative relationship between both. The standards were drafted by a committee of 27 practicing teachers and teacher educators from across the country in both general and special education.
The Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) is a program of the Council of Chief State School Officers, which represents the chief education officers in the 50 states and seven territories who hold primary authority for education policy and its implementation in this country. INTASC is a consortium state teacher licensing officials and representatives of the key national teaching associations. It serves as a vehicle for states to collaborate on projects of mutual interest, most specifically efforts to improve the preparation, licensing, and ongoing professional development of teachers through standards-based reform. Its work is guided by one basic premise: An effective teacher must be able to integrate content knowledge with the specific strengths and needs of students to assure that all students learn and perform at high levels.
This project is the next step in INTASC's ongoing work to improve the teaching of students who have disabilities. As noted above, INTASC released its Model Standards for Licensing General and Special Education Teachers of Students with Disabilities in the spring of 2001 with funding from the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at the US Department of Education. In October 2002, INTASC was awarded additional funding from OSEP to create a national center to work with states to move the standards into policy and practice by developing models for improving the preparation, licensing, and professional development of both general and special education teachers of students who have disabilities. The Center for Improving Teacher Quality (CTQ) has been working with 42 states for the past five years to develop policy tools to improve the teaching of students who have disabilities. This SERGE project, funded through a generous grant from the MetLife Foundation, builds on this prior work by providing a tool for practitioners that is based on the INTASC standards and that will be disseminated broadly through CTQ's network.
While there are many excellent resources for teaching students who have disabilities that are provided by for-profit companies, the resources listed on this website are restricted to resources that are available through United States' governmental agencies and through non-profit agencies. If you would like to submit an additional resource for consideration, click on the "Suggest a Resource" link and submit information about the resource.
What if I have a question that I think should be included under the essential questions?

Protect?! YAY!! As a 25-year backup dude who has been waiting to see how the vRanger and NetVault products would be aligned with AppAssure and the Ocarina-accelerated deduplication appliances, I was really jazzed to see "Protect" as a core pillar of the Dell story.

Bookstores keep rolling, and Rowling keeps going
By Bob Minzesheimer;
It was the year that J.K. Rowling offered readers a surprise, e-book sales leveled off and independent bookstores enjoyed a resurgence. From Alice Munro's Nobel Prize to Oprah Winfrey's lone book-club pick, USA TODAY's Bob Minzesheimer reviews 2013 in the world of books:
Rowling's secret: "The Cuckoo's Calling," a debut crime novel credited to Robert Galbraith, a former British Army officer, got good reviews when it was published in April. But it didn't become a best seller until July when a British newspaper revealed it was written by Rowling. (It was No. 1 on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list for three weeks.) "I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer," Rowling said. "Being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience."
Less time for reading?: Oprah Winfrey has been busy, starring in a movie (Lee Daniels' "The Butler") and running her own cable TV network. Perhaps that explains why she chose only one book in 2013 for the book club she revived last year. The third selection of Oprah's Book Club 2.0, Sue Monk Kidd's novel, "The Invention of Wings," about a 19th-century slave in Charleston, was announced Dec. 10, but the book won't be released until Jan. 7. In 1997, during her book club's heyday, Winfrey chose 10 titles.
Nobel sells books: After winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, Canadian short-story master Alice Munro moved up the best seller list. "Dear Life," her last collection — Munro, 82, says she's retiring — reached No. 57 on USA TODAY's list, after the Nobel was announced in October. That's her highest rank.
Gone but not forgotten:
— Richard Matheson, 87, who died June 23, wrote the 1954 horror novel "I Am Legend," adapted as a film four times, and some of the most memorable episodes of "The Twilight Zone."
— Elmore Leonard, 87, who died Aug. 20, influenced a generation of younger writers with gritty crime novels including "Get Shorty."
— Irish poet Seamus Heaney, 74, who died Aug. 30, won the Nobel Prize in 1995.
— Tom Clancy, 66, who died Oct.1, was a master of the military techno-thriller starring weapons that were nearly as important as the characters.
— Nobel laureate Doris Lessing, 94, who died Nov.17, was best known for her 1962 novel "The Golden Notebook," which became required reading in women's-studies courses.
Legal thrillers: The plots are not as dramatic as John Grisham's but publishers spent a lot of time with lawyers this year. In a victory for Amazon, a federal judge ruled in July that Apple conspired with publishers to fix the prices of e-books. Five major publishers settled before the trial. Citing that and other cases, Publishers Lunch, a digital newsletter, dubbed 2013 "the year of the gavel."
Print (and bookstores) survive: After several years of explosive growth, e-book sales are flattening out, dampening speculation that print books are dying. At Barnes & Noble, physical stores did better than the chain's e-reader, Nook. Publishers Weekly saluted the "resurgence of independent bookstores," by giving its "Person of the Year" award to American Booksellers Association CEO Oren Teicher and his board.

Trump: The FBI Destroyed Mike Flynn's Life
Michael Vadon/Flickr
President Trump believes Flynn's life has been "destroyed" while Hillary Clinton got away with the same crimes.
President Donald Trump told reporters Monday that he feels "very badly" about what happened to former national security advisor Michael Flynn.
From CNN,
Trump, in his first public comments on the matter, also echoed tweets he posted over the weekend in which he compared Flynn's situation to the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. He suggested Monday that Clinton had also lied to investigators and decried the situation as unfair.
In remarks to the press, Trump said he feels that Flynn "led a very strong life" and was treated differently than Clinton:
"Hillary Clinton, on the fourth of July weekend, went to the FBI - not under oath - it was the most incredible thing anyone's ever seen. She lied many times, nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and it's like they ruined his life, it's very unfair."
As CNN notes, former FBI Director James Comey's testimony under oath stated there was "no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI."
The FBI cleared her of criminal wrongdoing in July 2016 following an investigation into her use of a private email server, though then-FBI Director James Comey said she had been "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information.

1. Put tea, sugar and ginger into a wide, shallow pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Arrange pears in pot in a single layer, cut sides down. Cover and simmer gently, spooning the liquid over the pears from time to time, until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Let pears cool in liquid, then serve warm or at room temperature with the fragrant poaching liquid spooned over the top.
2 1/2 lb. chicken (salt and freshly ground pepper), to taste.
2. Prepare tea by brewing it in warm water then sieve out the leaves (remove tea bags) and set aside the liquid.
3. In a large pan (or Dutch oven) sauté the garlic and onions in the olive oil until softened. Add sugar and tomatoes and stir until sugar dissolves. Place in a bowl and set aside.
4. Place the chicken in pan and season with salt and pepper, browning on both sides. Cover with the sautéed mixture; add the brewed tea then bake, covered, until the chicken is tender, about 40 – 45 minutes and tests done by thermometer at 165 degrees F.

Save the deliciousness from the trash!
Look, I like celery stalks just fine. The low-calorie scoopers can reach the bottom of a peanut butter jar and are great vehicles for blue cheese dressing. But if I'm being honest, I actually prefer the leaves. Though it wasn't always that way. I used to trash the things.
But then I found this recipe for purple potato salad with celery leaves, which add a subtle but distinct flavor. And because celery is already on the ingredients list, you'll have the leaves on hand anyway.
So how do they taste? Well, like celery but better—less subtle, more savory. More tender, less crunch. Celery leaves are similar to parsley leaves, and you can use them in the same way—sprinkled atop a dish to add freshness. "Celery leaves are one of my favorites to add to salads and garnish fish soups with," says Chris Barnett, executive chef at Stir Market in Los Angeles.
I like my potato salad a little drier, so I went light on the yogurt and Dijon—but of course, you can adjust the creaminess quotient to your own liking.
1. In two separate pots (to help protect the color of each potato), boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and allow to cool to room temperature.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, Dijon, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add the boiled potatoes, celery, shallots, celery salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well and top with the celery leaves. Makes 6 servings.

Grand Jury Indicts Orange County Man Accused Of Killing Fugitive
David Carlson Faces Murder Charge In Shooting Death Of Suspected Rapist October 17, 2013 at 8:01 pm
Filed Under:David Carlson, Lou Young, Norris Acosta-Sanchez, Sparrowbush
SPARROWBUSH, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A grand jury has indicted an Orange County man who police say admitted to fatally shooting a fugitive rape suspect near his home.
David Carlson, a 42-year-old father of three, killed Norris Acosta-Sanchez with his shotgun last Friday when the wanted man emerged from the woods after eluding police in Sparrowbush, authorities said.
Carlson's neighbors told CBS 2 everyone in the area was on edge after the failed police manhunt.
"This case is about somebody who was left to his own devices, sadly," said Ben Ostrer, Carlson's attorney. "There was a huge police presence in his community on Thursday afternoon, and none on Friday. He was literally left to himself."
Carlson told police he marched Acosta-Sanchez at gunpoint along a road, Young reported. A witness told the grand jury that the suspect lunged at Carlson before the shooting, according to Young.
Carlson, who is charged with second-degree murder, was denied bail Thursday. He has been in Orange County Jail since the day of the shooting.
"What is the DA doing?" said his wife, Sarah Carlson. "They're treating my husband as a … flight risk. He's a family man."
Carlson's neighbors are planning to protest at the courthouse Friday when the defendant again seeks bail.
"It's not right," said Laura Curtis, Carlson's mother-in-law. "He needs to be home with his family."
Carlson did not testify before the grand jury, but he earlier gave a four-hour taped interview to police.
Acosta-Sanchez, 35, had reportedly been staying in a vacant cabin near Carlson's home on Old Plank Road. Police surrounded the cabin Thursday and broke down the door trying to make an arrest, but he wasn't inside. Police searched the woods all day with heavily armed teams but didn't find him.
Witness Carmine Ferrera spotted Acosta-Sanchez when Carlson already had his gun pointed at him. When interviewed by Young earlier in the week, Ferrera, who was scheduled to testify before the grand jury, declined to provide specifics about what he saw, except to say: "I didn't see a murder happen. That's as far as I'm going to go.
"I can tell you the community was in fear," Ferrera said. "I can tell you Dave wasn't the only one who armed himself."
Carlson fired four shots, two of which struck Acosta-Sanchez, police said.
Orange County District Attorney Frank Phillips characterized the incident earlier this week as "a tragedy all the way around."
The official indictment is not expected to be unsealed until next week.

I've just read that P.D. James, who has entertained me for many, many years, has passed away. You can read more here, but I will just say that not only have I enjoyed each and every Dalgliesh novel she's ever written, but I had just last week finished watching the dramatization of her Death Comes to Pemberley on Masterpiece Mystery.

The 2020 Census is coming: What it is, how it works
By: Cassie Miller - January 1, 2020 6:30 am
©driftwood – stock.adobe.com
In less than 100 days the 2020 Census will survey Americans across the country, attempting to take a snapshot of America through a statistical lens.
Participation in the decennial survey is categorized as a "civic duty" along with voting and jury duty. An October Pew Research Center survey found that while 98 percent of respondents had heard of the U.S. Census, 84 percent said they definitely/probably intend to participate in the 2020 census.
So, what is the census and how does it work?
A history lesson
The census is a constitutional power granted in Article 1, Section 2 with the idea to count every person living in America (not just citizens) to determine congressional seats in the House of Representatives through a process called apportionment.
The idea of a census was not new when the founders laid its constitutional framework. Under the rule of monarchs, a similar method had been used to tax, confiscate property and draft youth into military service, but the founders found a way to utilize these censuses to empower the people of the newly formed democratic republic.
The first census in American history was held in 1790.
With 13 states and 3.9 million people, the first census asked just six questions, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. While the population has grown exponentially to include 50 states and nearly 330 million people, the census has been conducted every 10 years since then.
The once-a-decade process of collecting data for the census is the largest peacetime operation the nation performs.
In previous years, the Census Bureau has relied on mailed-in questionnaires for the information it needs, mobilizing Census-takers when households failed to submit a paper form.
This year, 2020, will mark the first time that census questionnaires can be submitted via computer, tablet or smartphone.
Despite the integration of technology to simplify the process, approximately 400,000 to 450,000 Census-takers will be hired nationally for the 2020 Census, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In addition to determining the number of representatives for each state, the data collected serves a myriad of other purposes.
The Census data gathered by census-takers and in electronic or paper form is collected for local and national purposes.
Census data also determines how some $675 billion in federal funding is driven out to states and communities. The size of that share can have far-reaching impacts.The decennial count also helps real estate developers decide where to build, determines the location of public works like power plants and the need for other programs such as English as a second language classes at public schools, according to the U.S Census Bureau.
Questions & legal challenges
While the main purpose of the census is to count the number of people living in the country, questions beyond a general count, are, in fact, constitutional.
In 1901, a New York district court concluded that the Constitution does not limit the census to a headcount of the population, adding that other statistics can be gathered if deemed "necessary and proper."
The census has grown to collect and review demographic data such as age, sex, race, household relationships, and property ownership.
There are numerous rules governing the questions that can be asked on the census and what can be done with the responses.
General census subjects must be disclosed to Congress three years prior to the census. Actual questions that will be on the questionnaire must be shared with Congress two years prior to the census.
The Trump administration's efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census was met with fast and furious pushback. In late June, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked a citizenship question from being added to the questionnaire.
Then, Chief Justice John Roberts said the court "cannot ignore the disconnect between the decision made and the explanation given" by the administration.
After a short-lived push to fight the ruling and delay the census, President Donald Trump dropped the matter.
All census responses are confidential. According to Title 13 of U.S. Code, the data acquired by the Bureau can only be used to produce statistics.
A questionnaire from the Census Bureau will never ask for an individual's Social Security number. Nor can Information be shared with law or immigration enforcement agencies. It also cannot be used to determine an individual's eligibility for any government programs or benefits.

William T. Dickens, Professor, Northeastern University, and Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, James R. Flynn, Emeritus Professor at the University of Otago, New Zealand, and Richard E. Nisbett, Theodore M. Newcomb Distinguished University Professor at the University of Michigan, will form a working group to develop a multi-level model of intelligence that explains the role of genes and physiology along with the role of environment in making individuals intellectually able.. The group will use this new model to examine the historical improvement of IQ scores over the last 60 years, the transient affects of early education programs for disadvantaged youth, and the lower heritability of IQ among low socio-economic families. The group hypothesizes that while IQ is highly heritable, the environment also has massive effects. Genetic change from one generation to the next cannot account for the recent increases in IQ. These insights about the role of environment in the development of intelligence should contribute substantially to understanding what works and what doesn't in early intervention and education, particularly for disadvantaged children.
