Election 2019: Changing Demographics Explain Democrats' Victory in Virginia
It's not suburbs vs. cities but inner vs. outer suburbs that determined the outcome of elections in Virginia last Tuesday that flipped the General Assembly from red to blue.

As a result of the Nov. 5 election, Democrats won two seats in the Virginia State Senate to claim a 21-19 ruling majority and seven seats in the House of Delegates to hold a 55-45 majority, the first time since 1993 that Democrats controlled both legislative chambers and the executive branch. When the General Assembly convenes in January, the Old Dominion will become the nation's fifteenth Democratic state government trifecta, where one political party controls the governorship and both branches of the state legislature.
Sabrina Tavernise, the lead writer for The Times on the Census, and Robert Gebeloff, a reporter specializing in data analysis, attribute the leftward movement, "a stunning political realignment for a southern state," to the changing demographics of Virginia's suburban counties.
Once the heart of the confederacy, Virginia is now the land of Indian grocery stores, Korean churches and Diwali festivals. The state population has boomed — up by 38 percent since 1990, with the biggest growth in densely settled suburban areas like South Riding [in Loudon County, the state's third most populous].
It's not just Virginia. From Atlanta to Houston, this pattern is repeating itself — a new kind of suburbanization that is sweeping through politics. The densely populated inner ring suburbs are turning blue, while the mostly white exurban outer ring is redder than ever [see 'Michigan split' below].
The role of immigration, as well as education, plays a key role in the new politics that helps to describe suburbanization. Foreign-born people make up nearly 14 percent of the U.S. population, up from five percent in 1965, "almost as high as the last peak in the early 20th century," note Tavernise and Gebeloff. "The concentrations used to be in larger gateway cities, but immigrants have spread out considerably since then."
The influx of immigrants and their U.S.-born children, the spread of high-density suburbia and the growth of higher education all tilt the field toward the Democrats. Still, that doesn't give them a lock on the state, said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics.
Michigan suburban split
The inner vs. outer suburban demographics were described by the two Times reporters in greater depth in an Oct. 25 piece, "Are the Suburbs Turning Democratic?" The dateline is East Grand Rapids, Michigan, a small, overwhelmingly white suburb of Grand Rapids, illustrative "of an equally powerful demographic trend — the rise of outer-ring suburbs, whose white population has grown by 25 percent since 1990, compared with a 1 percent decline in the inner ring."
The other Kent County city described is Kentwood, far more racially diverse due in large part to immigration, and one of Grand Rapids's largest inner-ring suburbs. "In 2008, Kentwood tipped blue, and it never went back."
Democrats may be advancing in the inner-ring suburbs, but that does not mean they have conquered the suburbs over all. In many cities, the inner-ring advantage is not enough to counteract the powerful force of Republican voters in the outer ring.

Opening speech of Dutch Art Critic Wim van der Beek on the occasion of overview exhibition 2007 in Gorcums Museum.
People who live in the comfort zone want the visual arts to be primarily aesthetical, evoking pleasant feelings. Looking at art should give the very same gratifying and comfortable feeling we also experience coming home to the place we wished for or dreamt of. But there are some hidden dangers in the comfort zone. As soon as the initial wonder has subsided, habituation appears. Things that seemed unique at first become customary and eventually inconspicuous. Ultimate beauty may furtively change into habituation and weariness. The trigger has gone, the sting has been taken out of life and the experience of life.
Contrary to the people living in the comfort zone are those who are looking for the trigger zone. There where experiences are neither comfortable nor comforting, but challenging or even ominous. There where new and unexpected sides manifest themselves continuously. There where the dimensions of events constantly change. That is where we find the visual arts that incite, wring and wrench. Life in the trigger zone makes people alert and sharpens their senses. The drawback is that the need for short kicks requires ever new stimuli. It may after a while become addictive, taking up the time we need for reflection.
If we apply the above to the art of Jan Eric Visser, it certainly holds true. At a first glance his objects appear to be solid sculptures made of sustainable materials, obliging the viewer's bent for the comfort zone. Only at a second glance the singular friction becomes more manifest rendering the sculptures their unique status. Visser not only tries to please us, but also provokes our thoughts. He encourages us to discover the visual arts and the unknown territories he opens up. Peculiar finds have infiltrated his work. He discloses and relates the ORDEALS and EXPERIENCES he encounters during the creative process.
The derailment starts with his singular choice of material. It is clear that the artist has purposefully been tampering with the signals and switches of traditional sculpture. The wagons with familiar loads of bronze, stone, marble,wood and clay have been replaced by questionable loads of inorganic household refuse, newspapers, leaflets and wax. Traditional means are purposefully kept from us and we are deprived of our touchstone. And that is only the beginning!
Jan Eric Visser emphasizes that the preservation of household refuse may yield remarkable abstract objects that are both obtrusively and modestly present, playing the space of a room in a monumental way. His cyclic transformation of household waste is based on an approved technique. The time-consuming creative process is part of the total concept whereby Visser attempts to come to terms with himself and the society that surrounds him. He objects to the strained consumer behaviour that seems to strangle current society.
Jan Eric Visser combines fragility and solidity with actions that require manual skills as well as hold a ritual component. Physical presence is key to his sculptures. But their inevitable outward appearance also represents a purport that is at the least equally meaningful. Ideology even seemed to prevail over aspects of form in the beginning, but in his recent work Visser makes a connection between his visual representation of existential matters and his views of sculpturing. He no longer finds it difficult when people experience aesthetical pleasure from his sculptures as long as his commitment does not fully fall into the background.
The sculptures add to the process of awareness raising. In the solidly built objects we hardly recognise the mixture of newspaper, leaflets, inorganic household waste and wax the artist skilfully prepared. The making of pulp to Jan Eric Visser is an essential part of the entire creative process. He builds further on the principle of recycling, but it no longer is a goal in itself or a dogma. The objects claim their independent status without referring to the original function of the materials they are built of. Thus the boundaries between comfort zone and trigger zone are lifted imperceptibly.
Jan Eric Visser objects to passive, indolent, unquestioning consumer behaviour. He lifts the barriers between traditional and innovative modern art and makes no arbitrary distinction between genuine and imitation. He confronts us with existential issues. Nowadays all sorts of newspapers and magazines tell us that social responsibility in businesses is a hot issue. Men like Eckart Wintzen and Al Gore are the new gurus of our days. Of course it is a good thing that idealistic entrepreneurs do business in a socially responsible way, making it HIP or HOT.
A positive development is also the attention fixed on HIP HONEST; a new generation of designers who are using honest materials and are exploring the possibilities of using nettle as a substitute for the polluting cultivation of cotton. But reading these articles my thoughts unwillingly wonder twenty years back in time. At that time I got to know Jan Eric Visser's voice as the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Back then he already showed that the authentic artist sometimes is far ahead of his time, moving into the trigger zone forcing him in the predicament of a loner. Society needs these loners.


Bob Marshall was a voracious outdoorsman. The sheer magnitude of miles he traversed, peaks he climbed, and little known regions he explored constitute a great accomplishment. However, his drive and passion to preserve these places and experiences for all people moved him to organize the forces necessary to protect wildlands.
Marshall's wilderness passion and government savvy were influenced by his father, Louis Marshall. As a delegate to New York constitutional conventions in the 1890s, Louis was instrumental in developing and then defending language in the state constitution to protect and preserve state-owned forest preserve lands - Adirondack and Catskill State Parks in New York - to "be forever kept as wild forest lands." While the federal legislation passed by Congress 70 years later to protect public land as wilderness was very different, and did not include New York State wilderness areas, the seeds for protecting wilderness by statute were planted by the foresight of Bob Marshall's father. The younger Marshall continued in his father's footsteps through his work in federal government positions (the Forest Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs as Chief Forester) and through his strong voice as an outspoken conservationist and wilderness advocate.
Margaret (Mardy) Murie is fondly called the Grandmother of the Conservation Movement, but her love of the land began at a young age. Born on August 18, 1902 in Seattle, Mardy moved to Fairbanks with her family when she was five years old. Her step-father was an assistant U.S. attorney. She attended Simons College in Boston but finished her degree in business administration at the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, now the University of Alaska.
Raised in the mountains of Montana, Brandborg was on the front line with Howard Zahniser in the late 1950s and early 1960s working for passage of the Wilderness Act. From 1964 to 1976, he served as executive director of The Wilderness Society, which included the time of negotiations for the Alaska National Interest Lands Claim Act of 1980.
A prominent author and environmentalist, Olson helped protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. He also helped establish Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota, Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and Point Reyes National Seashore in California, and was a consultant to Secretary of the Interior Steward Udall on wilderness and national park issues. The Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, founded in 1972 as the outreach arm of Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin, bears his name.

Years of economic mismanagement in Runescape gold Venezuela have forced the country population to discover creative methods of putting food on the table. Within this effort, Venezuelans have struck an improbable source of sustenance: RuneScape, a video game franchiseprovides one of the sources of income for tech-savvy segments of the Venezuelan population. What's RuneScape, just? Some perks are only available to members who pay a monthly fee, although it is totally free to download.
A quick and common method to make vast sums of RuneScape's currency, goldis to kill"Green Dragons." Players may collect items dropped by the dragons and sell them on the in-game market for"gold." Then, this gold could be sold on third-party sites for cash which works in runescape 07 accounts the real world (often in the form of cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin). While prices change, one million golden RuneScape is worth about one U.S. dollar, and an hour of murdering Green Dragons typically produces at least $500,000 worth of gold.
But this strategy--known as"gold farming"--violates the principles of Runescape, also Runescape's developer, software firm Jagex, can shut down account for this sort of behavior. RuneScape players whose objective is to extract millions of gold daily inflate prices on the in-game market, angering amateur players who do not view Runescape as a source of income.

"This is a great fondant recipe that can be tinted with paste food color if desired. Pour over the top of cakes or petit fours to make a perfectly smooth and glossy surface. Excess fondant can be stored, tightly covered, in refrigerator for weeks. Reheat to use again. Recipe may be doubled or tripled."
In a saucepan, combine confectioners' sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a temperature of 92 degrees F (33 degrees C.) Mixture should be thin enough to pour, but thick enough to coat cake. Stir in the almond extract.
To cover cake: frost cake smoothly with buttercream (see Editor's Note) and place on a cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath. Pour fondant over iced cake, flowing from center and moving out in a circular motion. Touch up sides with a spatula.
Excess fondant can be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for about four weeks. Reheat over a double boiler just until pourable.
Decorate cakes and cookies with this delicious fondant.
For best results, cakes or petits fours should be covered with a thin layer of seedless jam, almond paste, or a perfectly smooth layer of frosting before covering it with the fondant. The fondant will give the cake a smooth, glossy surface.
For Chocolate Poured Fondant: follow recipe as directed, but increase water by 2 tablespoons. After fondant is heated, stir in 3 ounces of melted unsweetened or bittersweet chocolate, then add flavoring.
We have updated this recipe due to a typo in the amount of water. It has been changed from 1 cup to 1/2 cup.
Wonderful recipe for glazing petit fours, wouldn't use anything else.


One of the country's leading climate scientists, Dr. Michael Mann, has been harassed, threatened, and berated for his views that human actions are contributing to global climate change. But not just from anonymous commenters on websites — from leading publications like the National Review Online. After being compared to Jerry Sandusky and having the credibility of his work questioned, Mann finally has had enough. He is suing Rand Simberg of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) blog and Mark Steyn at National Review Online for defamation.
So what is defamation and how do you prove it? To be sure, this is not my area of legal expertise. But the basics are fairly straightforward. As an overview, defamation means a public attack, based on false facts, on a person's professional character or standing on an issue of public interest. The attacks have to cause damage to the plaintiff.
You can defend yourself against charges that you defamed someone by proving that you spoke the "truth." You can also defend yourself by saying it was just an "opinion" as opposed to fact, although some jurisdictions have eliminated that distinction.
While some of these phrases might be impolitic and unprofessional, they are not defamatory. Pugnacious rhetoric is still protected by the First Amendment, especially in matters of public debate.
Proponents of the theory of catastrophic climate change should think twice before they support Dr. Mann's lawsuit. In fact, anyone who engages in vigorous intellectual debate should be afraid that Mann's lawsuit wasn't immediately dismissed as a nuisance suit that is attempting to stifle First Amendment-protected speech. If Mann wins this lawsuit, he or his friends could easily find themselves on the other side of a defamation suit. Climate-change catastrophists consistently accuse climate-change "deniers" of intellectual and professional malfeasance.
I disagree. First, the comments against Mann aren't just name-calling — they are name-calling to further false challenges to Mann's work. They misleadingly call into question the accuracy of Mann's research and methodology. In reality, there's no real scientific debate on the overall facts. Sure, you can debate the scale of the warming and the precise amount of impact that human activity is having, but an astounding 97% of scientists have reached consensus on the overall issue. The courts should rightly investigate how factually plausible the challenges to Mann's work are.
But should climate advocates be afraid of riding the defamation tiger, in case it turns around and bites them, as Burris suggests? I think there's nothing to fear from judicial scrutiny if advocates label the fossil fuel-funded campaigns against their work phony and misleading. After all, a court wouldn't sanction someone for calling people crazy who deny that smoking causes lung cancer or HIV causes AIDS. These are areas of broad scientific consensus with overwhelming supportive evidence. The link between human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and global warming is as equally supported.
Burris also seems to miss the point that this is a debate about science and numbers — not just values or general opinions. He cites Paul Krugman as potentially slanderous for calling Paul Ryan's budget a "fraud," but Krugman has substantial evidence to back up his assertion that the Ryan budget was filled with misleading numbers that contradicted its stated effect. Like the Ryan budget, the dispute over Mann's work is based on hard numbers, not intangible values or perspectives. Courts should be well-suited to see through these kinds of ideologically motivated, phony attacks.
Most importantly, from a purely strategic perspective, a court victory here would be a major public relations win for climate-change advocacy. For climate deniers to lose in court would send the signal to the public that they are not to be trusted. That's a great headline and PR win for climate change advocates, confirming a narrative that advocates have been emphasizing for years. Of course, a court loss for Mann could have the opposite effect, but given the facts, I think Mann may be on safe ground here.
I'm all in favor of a debate about climate science, but it can't be a debate where journalists intentionally print misleading and false attacks based on transparently phony evidence. That stenography of lies is precisely the dynamic that sets back climate advocacy — and not this lawsuit.
What if Mark Steyn has substance in his criticism of Mann? Just because Mann is the poster boy for the whole global warming/climate change/ extreme weather/ocean acidification/whatever scare of the day does not mean valid criticism is not warranted.
I do hope the issue does go to trial because all the climate garbage will come out. Mann will hopefully be forced to hand over the disputed emails. The refusal to hand over the emails (from taxpayer-funded university) is extremely suspect behavior. Science is about open sharing of information. Real science invites others to poke holes in theories in the quest of truth.
How many have actually had a close look at how the consensus "studies" came to their conclusions — the sample sizes, the questions, how the conclusions were substantiated? Weasel words like "might" and "could" are not conclusive science.
Such "studies" are of very limited value in terms of a conclusion; they are mere conjecture. If the studies without firm substantiated evidence are discounted from the claimed consensus, the claims become very weak indeed.
What would be even more interesting would be seeing who are the actual authors of the conclusive papers and who are the peer reviewers of those papers. Very important to make sure there is no collusion and reviewers reviewing each others' papers. I suspect that the "consensus" will not be so conclusive.
Bring it on. Let the stalling from Michael Mann end; let the truth be uncovered. Once again, the stalling suggests something fishy. If Mann were genuine in his grievances, he would be swift in going to court- – not as though he is lacking the funding.
Wow, just wow. An academic advocating that speech critical of public figures be sanctioned when that speech is deemed "misleading" or "false?" Mr. Elkind's position is the same as the Federalists when it pushed through the Alien and Sedition Act. Fortunately Mr. Elkind's position advocating such limits on our First Amendment was finally laid to rest in New York Times v. Sullivan.
What is sad, so very sad, is that any academic at UC Berkley would ever advocate limits on political speech that would shut down criticism and debate of public policy issues.
The double standard here is unbelieveable. That someone would think that something like a budget policy dispute can be simply reduced to facts on their side and "fraud" on the other side… it's amazing that someone with such a crude and partisan grasp of reality, such an unworkable epistemology, would be employed as a scholar.
The censorship and the danger that would flow from people thinking that dissent from a new scientific hypothesis is denial, and that assessing shaky scientific methods and patched up graphs as fraudulent, should be punishable by force of law, seems too obvious to be taken seriously. We know what can happen when people treat one side of an issue, truth itself, as so obviously one-sided that we can confortably shut down dissent.
This person does not understand the nature of error, or the scope of reasonable disagreement. Assessments of industry-funded research as fraudulent are perfectly accurate, but not of research that validates his worldview. Krugman is dealin in plain facts in calling out fraud in a budget with different priorities. But criticizing people on the left, that's never factual, just defamation. Yeah.
"I'm all in favor of a debate about climate science," he says while trying to prohibit any such debate.
Why was not one single amici brief filed on Mann's behalf?
Would "denialist" be an example of name-calling?
This statement is totally false. The vast majority of sceptics understand that doubling co2 will contribute to global warming by raising the global avg temp by about one degree C. It is not believable that Elkins has so little understanding of the sceptics' position. The key question being debated is how sensitive the climate is, how much more heat will result from the basic forcing resulting from the co2 released by man.
The climate sensitivity estimates in the existing climate models are all over the place currently, i.e. there is no consensus.
How does what skeptics believe make that statement false? It doesn't. The issue is whether he was defamed and harassed.
Was the defamation casual, or it was part of a campaign? Were the people and organizations PAID to defame Mann? I hope the trial brings out the facts.
And I would say there is faction out there that doesn't really care what the sensitivity is, so long as they can continue to fatten their bank accounts burning fossil fuels without regard for the impact on others.
Firstly, it is sad to see the word 'denialists' in the title. Ethan really should have read Andrew Montford's book, 'The Hockeystick Illusion' before deciding to write this defence of Michael Mann. If time does not permit there is a concise summary of the Mann's mendacity here.
I can also recommend the excellent essay "Beyond debate?" by Martin Cohen published by THES in December 2009 for an insight into the sociology, politicalisation and corruption of climate science.
You can start with New York Times v. Sullivan and then read the appellate briefing from National Review, CEI and the various amici, all of which is very well done. You might also profitably peruse A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law by John Adams to sort of brush up on the importance of free speech.
Once you are done relieving your ignorance on that topic, you should read Andrew Montford's books, The Hockey Stick Illusion and Hiding the Decline, which describe the underlying controversies.
Upon completion of those assignments you will have at least a sporting chance of knowing what you are talking about. Right now, not so much.
I think you are conflating climate science and Mann's hockey stick. I am persuaded that climate is changing due to human actions, but the matter at hand is not climate science, it is Mann's hockey stick. I find his work very unconvincing, as the flat part of the stick seems not to explain actual variations in climate.
Since he has not made his data available, I think the whole thing likely to be a crock, and I support anyone's right to say that in whatever manner they choose. Climate scientists seem to have bought into the whole argument, so much that they can't evaluate this piece of work objectively. I think it will do the whole field enormous damage in the long run.
In his writ he claimed that he had been exonerated by a number of inquiries, none of which had investigated him.
He also claimed that he was a Nobel Laureate and had to put a hold on the defamation action while he took this false claim off the writ.
He has himself made similar claims about the work of Judith Curry and other scientists, and is vociferously offensive to those who don't agree with him.
There is one investigation which the defendants might like to bring before the court and that's the Wegman congressional investigation which excoriated Mann for using a hitherto unknown, and consequently un-used method to weight Principal Components.
He will also be liable to discovery, and given that his detractors have been trying to get information from/about him for years he has now presented them with the perfect opportunity.
He won't go to court because he's hiding things he doesn't want others to see.
Other than that he's in fine shape.
Hilariously ill-informed post. Mann's research was about the extent of medieval warmth, not attribution of temperature changes.
Odin2 is right of course. It's pretty clear Boos and Elkind haven't put any real time into this. Stands to reason given the Yale study that found the more educated one is the more sceptical they are.
Mann got caught manipulating the data and now he is using the courts to silence his critics. Mann's philosophy seems to be -free speech for me but not for thee.
Actually no, Mann has not been caught manipulating any data. And he is also not using the courts to silence his critics. This lawsuit has NOTHING to do with free speech. Repeat, NOTHING.
Seriously, its like the "skeptics" haven't even looked into the actual court case, and are happy spreading more disinformation.
The lawsuit has everything to do with freedom of speech. The defendants have the ACLU, freedom of the press organizations, and just about every major newspaper in the United States on their side (all of whom jointly filed an amicus brief on NR/CEI's behalf to get the lawsuit dismissed). Mann is using taxpayer-funded counsel to fight an unwinnable legal battle against the 1st amendment purely for PR purposes. It has close to no chance of success.
As a general comment to this blog piece, Mr. Elkind is exaggerating the importance of this lawsuit on the debate over climate change. Mann represents a small subset of this field of study, namely millennial-scale climate reconstructions.
Far from Mann being "harassed, threatened, and berated for his views that human actions are contributing to global climate change," he is actually justifiably called out not for his fraudulent studies. Mann used statistically invalid methods, removed inconvenient data, used outdated data, and oriented data upside down, among various other activities. All of this is well-founded and researched. See, for instance, McShane & Wyner 2010.
There is a reason that the IPCC has begun to distance itself from the hockey stick in the most recent report, as the scientific basis for a significant medieval-modern differential has diminished. Where the science is concerned, the merits of this lawsuit are absolutely terrible.
Additionally, Mann outright lies multiple times in his filing, including referencing reports where he isn't mentioned, citing a Nobel Prize (the Nobel Committee admonished him for this), and mischaracterizing his accomplishments. All signs point to Mann being a serial fraudster.
The only effect of Mann's lawsuit being dismissed/Mann losing in court would be a ding on Mann's already poor reputation. Nothing about the observational temperature record is changed. Nothing about climate models are changed. The science of climate change and debate over climate change is not affected in the least. The process of extricating Mann's fraudulent studies from the scientific body of literature has already begun without this lawsuit.
The lawsuit has everything to do with freedom of speech. The defendants have the ACLU, freedom of the press organizations, and just about every major newspaper in the United States on their side (all of whom jointly filed an amicus brief on NR/CEI's behalf to get the lawsuit dismissed).
That is correct only concerning the motions to dismiss. The lawsuit itself has everything to do with defamation with the intent to discredit the scientist, and by extension, the science.
Mann is using taxpayer-funded counsel to fight an unwinnable legal battle against the 1st amendment purely for PR purposes.
"…taxpayer-funded counsel…" That's false, unless you mean he's using a public defender, which in that case that statement would put you in the "disingenuous" category. Otherwise, you would have something–anything to back up your claim. A fund has even been set up to help Dr. Mann and other scientists who are besieged with corporations using the government to harass, waste their time, and their money with the intention of defaming and discrediting them in the interest of satisfying their shareholders.
"…purely for PR purposes." That's a "fact" that obviously comes from your own imagination.
…Mr. Elkind is exaggerating the importance of this lawsuit on the debate over climate change. Mann represents a small subset of this field of study, namely millennial-scale climate reconstructions.
What Dr. Michael Mann actually represents is the Hockey Stick. For 15 years one of the main goals of the fossil fuel industry PR firms and their various shills is to discredit the Hockey Stick. The. Hockey. Stick. Tattoo it on your forehead in reverse so you can see it in the mirror.
Beginning on and about November 22, 2009, The Pennsylvania State University began to receive numerous communications (emails, phone calls and letters) accusing Dr. Michael E. Mann of having engaged in acts that included manipulating data, destroying records and colluding to hamper the progress of scientific discourse around the issue of anthropogenic global warming from approximately 1998.
Mann used statistically invalid methods, removed inconvenient data, used outdated data, and oriented data upside down, among various other activities.

I would like to know just who is misinforming you. You cannot be this dense to think what you say can go unchallenged. Where does it say the IPCC is distancing itself from the Hockey Stick except on some silly science-free blog? And "…significant medieval-modern differential has diminished?" Who even says this? The rest of your Gish-Gallop screed references Dr. Mann inflating his accomplishments, misspeaking, and errors in documentation. Hardly pointing to serial fraud. What a load of nothing.
The process of extricating Mann's fraudulent studies from the scientific body of literature has already begun without this lawsuit.
Yet no evidence whatsoever exists to back up your claim. You don't have magical powers. Just because you say it's so, doesn't automatically make it so. My advice to you is to just stick to the First Amendment aspect of the defamation lawsuit.


Well, that's a wrap on another busy and exciting month! I've been busy working on my RG146 qualification this month which has been interesting, and it's definitely been a learning curve. I've also been smashing out a few university assignments, so it's good to see some progress there.
If you're looking to kick-start your morning routine, one of my favourite podcasters and bloggers has a great episode on starting your day off on the right foot — check it out! While you're there — make sure you check out his article full of examples of great personal portfolios and websites, if you're thinking of putting one together.
I'm not sure how I came across this video by Michelle Phan, but I found it deeply moving. She left Youtube a year ago and made this video to share why she made the decision to leave it all behind.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy time. Sometimes you have to let go of things to move forward and create your own happiness.
I was also referred to MealPal this month by some colleagues, which is a subscription service where you can skip the queue and get meals for less than $8.00. I think at the moment they are only operating in Sydney and Melbourne CBD in Australia, with over 100 local restaurants offering meals every weekday and the ability to pre-order your meal and skip the queue. I've really enjoyed MealPal so far, and it's definitely saving me money on lunch in Melbourne CBD (which is getting quite pricey).
HTM Article: What is a Bond?


Short answer is that my original inspiration steered from 'The Dark Knight.' Heath Ledger's performance to be exact.
A big advantage to me is that when I show up for work, I can show up in my pjs! It's nice to tell a story. To step outside yourself and see the world from someone else's viewpoint. Disadvantages…. Would be the fact that work isn't promised. It's not a stable job, if you aren't booking.
I am proud of a lot of things. My family, this show. Everything in me is telling me not to say I'm proud of myself for making the leap from a steady career to the inconsistent life of an actor... But I am proud of myself slightly for that.
How was the auditioning process for "All American"?
It was your typical audition process…. Kinda. The original audition, a callback, a studio test, and then a network test. Only thing for me was I waited two weeks after my network test to get the news about All American.
What can we expect from your character Jordan?
You can expect to not be a fan of his to begin. He's destructive. I think people will come to understand him much better when the series gets going.
What do you want your fans to take away from watching "All American"?
I want the fans to enjoy this project, I want people to love it. I want them to understand the opposite ends of the spectrum as far as living can go. And that everyone is facing a battle that you may know Nothing about. I want people to be more accepting.
We hear you're an Ohio native and grew up in Indiana, how is living there different from LA?
Wow, where to begin! First things first the landscape, weather, and amount of people are vastly different. We don't have any mountains, we experience all the seasons, and it doesn't take me 45 minutes to drive six miles… But I think the biggest thing is mindset. People in LA seem to me more laid back, and not as nosy as people in the Midwest. People get offended easily back home, and everyone out here is so chill.
We also heard you ran rack for at Indiana State University can you tell us about that?
Yes I did. I ran the 400m Hurdles. It was a blast, however after breaking my foot twice, and two extensive surgeries I had to call it quits.
How is working aside Taye Diggs?
It's a nightmare…. Jk he's the best. He is such a jokester, and keeps the set mood light. He brings so much to each scene and really pushes me to keep up with him in scenes and I love that.
What other actors or actress would you like to work with in the future?
I would love to work alongside Emmy Rossum at some point. Leonardo Dicaprio. So many actors that I look upto, It's hard to name them all.
I see myself living here. And hopefully still working, whether that's on All American, another show, or in film.

See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Violence
Author: Jess Hill
At the office of Safe Steps, Victoria's dedicated 24/7 family violence response call centre, phone counsellors receive a call every three minutes. Many women are repeat callers- on average, they will go back to an abusive partner eight times before leaving for good. 'You must get so frustrated when you think a woman's ready to leave and then she decides to go back,? I say. 'No,' replies one phone counsellor, pointedly. 'I'm frustrated that even though he promised to stop, he chose to abuse her again.' Women are abused or killed by their partners at astonishing rates- in Australia, almost 17 per cent of women over the age of fifteen - one in six - have been abused by an intimate partner. In this confronting and deeply researched account, journalist Jess Hill uncovers the ways in which abusers exert control in the darkest - and most intimate - ways imaginable. She asks- What do we know about perpetrators? Why is it so hard to leave? What does successful intervention look like? What emerges is not only a searing investigation of the violence so many women experience, but a dissection of how that violence can be enabled and reinforced by the judicial system we trust to protect us. Combining exhaustive research with riveting storytelling, See What You Made Me Do dismantles the flawed logic of victim-blaming and challenges everything you thought you knew about domestic and family violence.

Weight loss surgery has become increasingly popular, but once the patient has lost the weight they can often be left with massive amounts of excess skin that will not shrink back into place once the skin has been stretched.
There are a number of surgical procedures that can tackle this problem and Mr Richard Karoo offers all these procedures to his Cardiff patients. They include a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, breast uplift and/or reduction and thigh lift, buttock lifting, reverse abdominoplasty and upper back lift.
These normally have to be staged in their approach and timing to optimise the results and help achieve a safe recovery.


Considering how long they can be, I am very grateful that you read my columns to the end, and I really do not want to push my luck too far. I usually try to change the subject of my columns from one week to the next. This week it is different. Last week I wrote about Zimbabwe, and this week I am writing about Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is going to be the scene of the next Western invasion, and it is going to come soon.
Very soon, according to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine. In a report this week, they claim that the British Army is going to go in to Zimbabwe, ostensibly to protect the White population. Interestingly the newspaper reports that British troops will launch from Mozambique, which has a heavy military presence due to the relief efforts after the flood. The other point it makes is that the British special forces, the SAS, are supposedly already in the area, although it does not say whether they are in Zimbabwe itself. After a few days' denial, they have admitted that a force is ready, but only to evacuate the British Citizens. Do they really think we will believe them? I speculated before that Britain was being built up for an invasion in Zimbabwe, and this weeks events are baring this out.
We have had the press frenzy, the tantalising hints, the masked military build up and another part of this aggression by numbers came in to place this week, the failed talks. The British and Zimbabweans sat down for a day's talks (wow, a whole day, this was obviously more of a formality than even Rambouillet). In return for the British offer of £36 million for land reform, the British wanted the power to decide how that money was spent. Reasonable enough, but to be honest did Britain need a summit over this? Will the summit be seen in the future as an attempt to hammer out an aid package or as the Zimbabwean government's last chance to be reasonable? I have grown far too old and far too cynical.
The ritual before we invade usually involves some sort of election, and conveniently, one is coming up. The way in which we are being preached at by our media is that the ruling ZANU-PF party has no chance in a free election. The fact that Mugabe has the tribal loyalty of the Shona people, many of who still live in the countryside and dream of taking land for themselves, is just not considered relevant. An alliance of the Ndebele, the city dwellers and the workers on white farms may out vote ZANU-PF, but that is not certain; after all this is what elections are all about. However, to the Western media a win by the governing party will be seen ispso facto as fraud. I am not saying that there will not be fraud; or that there has not been intimidation and one-sided use of the state owned media. Recently there have been reports that the opposition is a broken reed. Even if the dead don't vote and the boxes aren't stuffed, we now have an excuse to invade after Mugabe wins a fair election. This is quite simply not a reason for invasion, although it will be made out to be one. When the British government stop appointing their supporters to positions in the BBC and stop using the Police to intimidate opponents then the British government may cast the first stone.
Of course, there is one person to blame for much of this, and this is Robert Mugabe. Now I am not going to claim that this was because of the economic crucifixion that he is subjecting his country to in the hope of terrorising the opposition. This is reprehensible, no doubt, but that is merely an excuse. The west had far more cause for concern in the early 1980s when thousands of the Ndebele people were being massacred because of their ethnicity. Obviously drawing attention to this would have been impolitic when we were trying to make out that Apartheid was one step off the holocaust, and something far worse was going on over the border. Nevertheless, Mugabe is to blame because of his reliance on foreign aid. When will the third world leaders learn that independence is a mere formality when you are relying on foreign government aid year in, year out? Zimbabwe does not need British aid to get on with land reform; the government has a large amount of land already. It merely has to take it off the party bureaucrats and generals who have squandered it. No money needs to change hands; no troops need to be flown in. The fact is that the neo-colonialism that the left bleated on about has happened, but because we followed the policies of the left. By making many of our ex-colonies supplicants, we denied them the ability to take their economic independence. It was not the multinational companies that denied Africa real independence. Western governments and African "leaders" like Comrade Mugabe are guilty of this.
It will be a miserable time to be anti war in Britain (although preferable to being in Zimbabwe). For those of us right wing sorts, it usually is, but with a war in Zimbabwe, it will be more so. The fact that there will be an invasion of an old colony will make many in the right exultant. The right in Britain often sincerely believes the Empire was a good thing, both for Britain and for those who were ruled. The idea that the people who are being terrorised are white even though by far the largest number of victims are in fact black, will also play a part. This theme is being stressed by the normally scrupulously colour blind BBC. The ease of identification with English speaking people of British ancestry is obviously far stronger than it is with Kosovan Albanians. Instead of looking at whether this foreign adventure is in British interests they will instead exult that it is not in our interests, this makes it morally right. The left do not have a monopoly on tortuous logic.
Emmanuel Goldstein is the pseudonym of a political drifter on the fringes of English classical liberal and Euro-sceptic activity. He is a former member of the Labour Party, who knows Blair and some of his closest buddies better than they realise, yet. He has a challenging job in the real world, working for a profit-making private company and not sponging off the taxpayer in politics, journalism or the civil service. "Airstrip One," appears Tuesdays at Antiwar.com.
On the left the picture is, if anything, bleaker. Most of the left wingers who oppose the war will mutate into apologists for Mugabe, arguing that he saved Zimbabwe from the strife of multi-party politics and that land reform was a just cause rather than thuggish economic self-mutilation. The amount of meetings I've sat through since the gulf war when I realised that yet another well meaning organisation had been taken over by one or other Trotskyite cult for the purposes of recruitment is too depressing to recall. I expect to be a minority of one in these meetings, but I usually find myself to be derided as the cause of the adventure in the first place. Britain really needs a peace movement that talks about national interest rather than class war, but I, for one, am not holding my breath.
The last column I wrote generated, by my standards at least, a large amount of e-mail, most of it hostile. I will not call it hate mail, for they were rational and neatly argued. Those who are either stuck in Zimbabwe or used to live there write in a far more polite and measured tone than NORAID supporting college students from Maine who write en-masse after a column against American intervention in Ulster. Considering who has most to lose this is startling. The fact is that life in Zimbabwe, especially for the ethnic minorities, is terrifying. The terror that is being unleashed against opposition supporters is inexcusable. The betrayal of Rhodesia by the British was a major cause of the predicament that Zimbabwe finds itself. However stating that does not mean that Britain has a moral imperative to interfere again. Wasn't it the previous interference in the sixties and seventies that caused the problem in the first place? Why do people think that it will be better a second time?
The article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine does not mention American troops. In fact in this election year, I can not see American troops in southern Africa. This does not mean that America will not be involved. In maintaining investor confidence in Africa and in weakening the pro-government forces in Zaire, the interests of America are being met. It only stands to reason that American "logistical" support and "advice" will be called for. There may be a speedy resolution to this, a quick evacuation of British citizens with the British troops stepping in to destabilise Zimbabwe - and call it people power. If the resolution is less swift then it is only a matter of time before American sons, husband and fathers are patrolling the Limpopo.
There is of course another option for Zimbabwe, and that is a South African intervention. Although unlikely, it makes perfect sense for South Africa. The killings and occupations are spreading to South Africa, and any government has the right to intervene to stop disorder spreading in to their own country. Furthermore, the investor confidence in southern Africa is very low and a Government that sees salvation in the capital markets would see this as a reason to intervene. I have little opinion on this one way or the other, as long as Britain is unaffected, more than to say that what the regional superpower does to an imploding rival is little concern of ours.
It is still vital that we do not go in to Zimbabwe. There is no reason to go in, no strategic purpose is fulfilled by this. Despite the desperation of the victims of Mugabe, we have no business there and an awful lot to lose. To do nothing is callous; to do something is suicidal. Keep calling me callous.

L – Look Good = Feel Good! All of the products are created to look and feel great. We want them to look as if they were an original part of the wheelchair or mobility aid but also add that little bit of extra comfort, as there is nothing worse than an unsightly modification on an otherwise fantastic piece of equipment.
E – Economical. When you put all of the above together you can see why many people enthuse about the economical aspects of Gelovations products. When an instant solution is found there is often no need for a repeat clinic assessment or home visit. This saves costs on time and transport but most importantly gives you an instant solution and eliminates the risk and cost of pressure sores.
Greencare cushions are made from a visco elastic memory and high resilience laminated foam core, and feature a water resistant upper cover and nonslip underside to hold the cushion securely. The composite cushion construction meets ISO 7176-16 standards. As can be seen on the below pressure test, the greencare cushion provides a better seating solution than a standard 1" (25mm) foam cushion.

Here's what's coming to Xbox Game Pass in November
Xbox has revealed the dates for November's additions to Game Pass.
Available from today on cloud, console and PC are Pentiment and Somerville. Pentiment received a recommended badge from us, and our Donlan described it as "a brilliant narrative adventure that is filled with intelligence and heart". Donlan also enjoyed Somerville for its beautiful and eerie art direction.
That's not it for the month, however. Here's what else to look forward to!
Pentiment – official launch trailer.
Dune: Spice Wars had previously been announced for PC Game Pass, and we now have confirmation it will be joining the service on 17th November alongside the Air and Sand update, which adds new units and buildings. Also available on PC on the 17th is Ghostlore, an action RPG inspired by Southeast Asian folklore which is currently in early access.
Also on the 17th, Norco will be available on cloud and console. Norco earnt itself a recommended badge in our review at launch, where our Chris Tapsell described it as "beautiful, surprising, human, and utterly magnetic". And finally, on the same (busy!) day, 2D platformer Lapin will be available on cloud, console and PC.
Next in the diary is Gungrave Gore, a third-person shooter with plenty of bullets and blood, which will be available day one for cloud, console and PC on 22nd November. Following that, 29th November will see Insurgency: Sandstorm joining the library of cloud and console titles. Soccer Story will also be available the same day on cloud, console and PC.
Finally, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will be available to play on PC from day one on PC. The release of Darktide sees the end of a month-long celebration for the seventh anniversary of Warhammer's "Tide" series.
Unfortunately, as is the case every month, this means some titles will be leaving Game Pass at the end of the month. As a wise, young teenager once said: to obtain, something of equal value must be lost. You've got until 30th November to play the following:
Archvale (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Deeeer Simulator (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Console and PC)
Mind Scanners (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Mortal Shell (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Undungeon (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Read the full Xbox blog post for more information on when DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online and Dead by Daylight will be available, or the extra benefits for Ultimate members.

grayDUCK Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition by Austin artist W. Tucker. Using his non-dominant hand, Tucker, creates childlike line drawings on found, tattered surfaces such as book covers, scraped lumber and odd bits of paper. Tucker was awarded Austin Critics' Table Award for "Best Installation" as well as "Artist of the Year" for his installation at Texas State University in 2012. He has been represented in the US by galleries in Los Angeles, Seattle, Wyoming, Dallas, Houston, and Austin.
The work begins unplanned. Line drawings, markings, painted strokes and scribbles are made with numerous mediums including oil, lumber stick, resin stick, charcoal, graphite and ink. I work on either simple wood panels or choose from a collection of found materials – old tabletops, cabinet doors, wood blocks wrapped in canvas, and old book covers.
The drawings/markings are created with my non-dominant hand. The use of my left hand allows me to draw in an unpracticed manner, with less control and intention, and without forethought.
More recently the work has expanded from 2 dimensional work to installations that include wall drawings, books, and standing boxes. The wall drawings are transient, painted over when the installation is dismantled, having a beginning and an end. Books are either created or have been adapted from existing books – images are either added to the pages, or pages are removed and new pages are stitched in. The boxes are an exploration of the work in 3 dimensions, of interior and exterior – a comment on what we present to the world and what we may choose to hide.
Over time I have realized that in the finished work I see aspects of our human condition – vulnerability, frailty, kindness, anger, frustration, humor, curiosity, and relationship. As well as glimpses of stories, moments, dilemmas that may represent how we approach or walk through life.

Restating the Case For Family-Friendly Feminism
By Marilyn Gardner. Marilyn Gardner is a Monitor staff writer.
FEMINISM IS NOT THE STORY OF MY LIFE
By Elizabeth Fox-Genovese
Doubleday, 288 pp, $23.95
It has been 15 years since Betty Friedan published a calmly reasoned book calling for a ''second stage'' of feminism that would come to ''new terms'' with the family. Summarizing the need for a more inclusive approach, she wrote, ''We must at least admit and begin openly to discuss feminist denial of the importance of family, of women's own needs to give and get love and nurture....''
Radical feminists angrily accused Ms. Friedan of taking ''a step backward.'' But for ordinary women, trying to balance marriage, motherhood, and careers, Friedan's call for action held the promise of a kinder, gentler women's movement - one that would address issues facing all women, not just upscale career women.
Today, Friedan's message remains an unfulfilled hope, at least as Elizabeth Fox-Genovese documents it in ''Feminism Is Not the Story of My Life.'' So little has apparently changed that it is now Dr. Fox-Genovese's turn to call for a ''family feminism'' based on the everyday realities of most women's lives.
As a professor of humanities and English at Emory University in Atlanta and as a lecturer who travels widely, Fox-Genovese has had ample opportunity to hear the voices of women who feel that feminism has little relevance to their lives. Feminists, the author charges, ''normally minimize the importance women attach to the bearing and rearing of children on the grounds that women, like men, should be free to work as hard as they choose.'' Yet most women, Fox-Genovese points out, ''see their children as central to their lives.''
To Fox-Genovese, the ''most serious'' feminist failure lies in the preference of many feminists to ''consider women as independent agents rather than as members of families.'' Yet that is hardly their only failing. Feminists, she says, tend to blame men for the disadvantages women still face. And they claim that enough day care or cooperation from fathers will solve the problems working mothers face.
Some of the charges Fox-Genovese levels against feminism have an oddly dated quality. They give the impression that she is shadow-boxing, punching away at stereotypes left over from the 1960s and '70s. Among them: ''Feminists have not had much patience with femininity...''; ''Feminists tend to disapprove of love stories...''; ''Most feminists minimize the importance of marriage.''
So sweeping and vague are the charges that readers may wonder: Just who are these nameless, faceless feminists, anyway?
Fox-Genovese writes more like a sociologist than an academic. That serves her readers well by making her prose accessible and engaging. But it becomes a liability in the anecdotal evidence she offers to support her thesis. Real-life women appear briefly and pseudonymously, floating in and out so quickly that most remain as faceless as those unidentified feminists.
The heart of Fox-Genovese's message lies in her book's important final chapter. Charging that ''everyone is failing the children,'' she dares to state - and restate - a truth that has become unpopular in some feminist circles. Children, she writes, ''fare best in an intact family with a mother and a father who can provide for their basic needs, including considerable parental attention.'' Any ''family friendly'' policy, she states, must start from that assumption.
To that end, she offers a ''wish list'' of solutions.
She points out the need for changes in tax laws, which currently favor working mothers over mothers who stay home. She calls for more part-time work with more benefits attached to it. She wants federally guaranteed maternity leave. She also suggests the creation of a ''maternity IRA to which a woman could start contributing as soon as she starts work,'' then draw on without penalty during her child's first four years.
It will take more than a book - this one or any other - to bring about the changes she outlines.
Feminists, whoever they are, cannot bear the full weight of responsibility for all the problems women encounter. Cultural change comes slowly and requires leadership on many fronts: from politicians, from business leaders, from educators, and of course from women themselves.
Still, Fox-Genovese's wish list serves as a useful reminder of all the changes that still need to take place in women's lives. A feminist movement that unites rather than divides women and acknowledges the central place of men and children in their lives could finally make Friedan's and Fox-Genovese's shared vision of a ''family feminism'' a reality.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In his speech last week to the R Street Institute in Washington, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai attacked Twitter censorship by name, with a warning that reverberated throughout Silicon Valley.
Almost as if in retaliation, Twitter has allowed users to post a startling number of hateful Tweets containing death threats against Pai and his family.
"When it comes to a free and open Internet, Twitter is part of the problem," Pai said, attacking the Internet edge company content provider for hiding behind net neutrality rules to implement an aggressive plan to censor conservatives and libertarians from the website.
Pai signaled out Twitter as a leading abuser of censorship practices that has "a double-standard" in screening out conservative users in favor of left-leaning liberal users.
"Twitter is the lead offender using algorithms to block speech considered offense," Pai argued, stressing his view that the Internet content providers are the more serious problem when it came to Internet censorship.
At, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai his R Street Institute, Pai was joined by Trump-appointed Commissioner Brendan Carr and GOP Commissioner Michael O'Reilly, initially nominated by President Obama in 2013 and re-nominated in 2017 by President Trump.
In their prepared remarks, all three expressed their enthusiasm for a return to the "free and open Internet" previously experienced under the "light-touch" FCC regulation of the Internet that existed prior to 2015.
Pai explained the plan to restore Internet freedom will bring back the same rules that governed the Internet until 3 years ago, when the Obama administration, on a party-line vote at the FCC, imposed Title II regulation on the Internet, regulating the Internet as a common carrier under "Net Neutrality" rules.
The FCC 5-person commission is scheduled to vote on Dec. 14, on Pai's proposed order to repeal the Obama-era "Net Neutrality" rules, with Pai clearly commanding the required three votes to carry the vote.
Pai argued that by eliminating "Net Neutrality" rules, increased investment resulting from less "heavy-handed" Title II regulation would expand the availability of high-speed, low-cost Internet service, not restrict it.
Infowars.com has repeatedly reported that since 2015, when the Obama-era "Net Neutrality" rules were put in place, instances of blocking and censoring have only occurred at a rapid pace on platforms owned by Facebook, Google and Twitter, which all lobbied hard for the 2015 "Net Neutrality" rules, which were carefully crafted so as to not touch those companies.
Federal Trade Commission Acting Chairman Maureen Ohlhausen agreed with Pai that repealing "Net Neutrality" rules would allow market forces to dictate a broader range of ISP services with varying data and pricing policies that she believes will be more responsive to consumer needs.
"The Federal Trade Commission has tools that can protect consumers online more effectively than the Federal Communications Commission," she argued, stressing that the FCC regulating the Internet as a Title II utility lacked the regulatory authority the FTC has regulating the Internet under trade provisions to protect Internet privacy and to prevent the censorship of ideas and users on ideological grounds.


Climatically driven changes in sediment supply on the SW Iberian shelf since the Last Glacial Maximum.
Stumpf, Roland, Frank, Martin, Schönfeld, Joachim and Haley, Brian A. (2011) Climatically driven changes in sediment supply on the SW Iberian shelf since the Last Glacial Maximum. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 312 (1-2). pp. 80-90. DOI 10.1016/j.epsl.2011.10.002.
The assemblages of marine sediments on the SW Iberian shelf have been controlled by contributions from distinct sources, which have varied in response to environmental changes since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The rapid, decadal scale Mediterranean overturning circulation permits mixing of suspended particles from the entire Mediterranean Sea. They are entrained into the suspended particulate matter (SPM) carried by Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW), which enters the eastern North Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar and spreads at intermediate depths in the Gulf of Cadiz and along the Portuguese continental margin. Other major sediment sources that have contributed to the characteristics and budget of SPM along the flow path of MOW on the SW Iberian shelf are North African dust and river-transported particles from the Iberian Peninsula.
To reconstruct climate- and circulation-driven changes in the supply of sediments over the past ~ 23 000 cal yr B.P., radiogenic Nd, Sr and Pb isotope records of the clay-size sediment fraction were obtained from one gravity core in the Gulf of Cadiz (577 m water depth) and from two gravity cores on the Portuguese shelf (1745 m, 1974 m water depth). These records are supplemented by time series analyses of clay mineral abundances from the same set of samples. Contrary to expectations, the transition from the LGM to the Holocene was not accompanied by strong changes in sediment provenance or transport, whereas Heinrich Event 1 (H1) and the African Humid Period (AHP) were marked by significantly different isotopic signatures reflecting changes in source contributions caused by supply of ice rafted material originating from the North American craton during H1 and diminished supply of Saharan dust during the AHP. The data also reveal that the timing of variations in the clay mineral abundances was decoupled from that of the radiogenic isotope signatures.
