Reinventing Our Battered World through Kindness ...
Reinventing Our Battered World through Kindness and Curiosity at Leading Together 2021
Wednesday, June 16, 2021 - 9:00 pm
Nell Edgington
I came away from the second day of the Council on Foundations' Leading Together 2021 conference with an enormous amount of hope. Hope in humanity and in the kind and equitable future we will create together, if we challenge ourselves to do better and shift many of our sector practices.
The highlight of the day, by far, was James Rhee. Anyone who was in his Fireside Chat session, "A Blueprint for Transformation and DEI: The Ashley Stewart Story,"will undoubtedly agree. James told the story of how he shifted from being a private equity investor to leading the transformation of the nearly bankrupt Ashley Stewart Company – a Black woman-owned company creating clothing for Black, plus-size women.
In his career journey but also in his personal life, what James is truly about is shifting our Western, capitalist financial system from an extractive and dehumanizing one to one that invests in a more equitable world. As he put it, "We are in a massively innovative time…we are moving to a world where women are leading, where Brown is a majority." Shifts like these represent the change we can accomplish when we push our limits and set our standards higher – for ourselves, our organizations, and our sector.
James believes that we are being offered – amidst the massive challenges we have been facing over the last year – a huge opportunity that we must seize to create a more just and inclusive society.
Make no mistake, we are facing massive challenges. And they seem to be getting worse. That was the takeaway from the session, "Best Practices for Equitable Philanthropy: Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic,"led by Sally Ray and Tanya Gulliver-Garcia from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. The presenters reminded us that the number of "billion-dollar disasters" (events like hurricanes, wildfires, or epidemics where the damage totaled over $1 billion) has been growing in recent years. Since 1980, there have been 285 "billion-dollar disasters" – or an average of about seven per year. But in 2020, there were 22. Climate change, among many other factors, is accelerating the scale and complexity of the challenges we face -- and it's up to us to rise to the occasion, stepping up our commitment to solving problems that threaten not only our local communities, but also the country and the world.
But James Rhee and other speakers at Leading Together offer us tremendous hope. By tapping into the kindness, creativity, and curiosity we all possessed as children, we can reinvent this battered world. As James put it, "Why can't we be like Harold and the Purple Crayon [from the children's book]? Why can't we just draw a window? Let's draw a new system….You don't change things by brute force or anger, but with curiosity and creativity – unleashing what's within."
I have no doubt that the panelists from another Wednesday session, "Emergence and Evolution: Pivoting Internal Culture Amidst Crisis,"would agree with James' worldview. Together, they offered countless examples of innovative changes that their respective organizations implemented to "hold space" for staff during the last year of intense turmoil.
Many of these changes were in response to a growing sense of empathy – an understanding, as Storme Gray of Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy put it, that people needed a "space to show up as human beings in the midst of all that 2020 threw at us." The presenters challenged us to re-evaluate our HR policies for philanthropic staff, going above and beyond what we once thought was possible to maintain employee health and well-being.
Echoing James Rhee's view of how change happens, the organizational shifts the panelists highlighted came about because people – no matter their position or title – started stepping into their own power. Rose Green of the Colorado Health Foundation put it this way: "We all have a responsibility to be brave…Be bold and speak up. This is a moment to say, 'Hey, the old way of doing things wasn't working."
Isn't that the ultimate opportunity that the pandemic, and all of the many crises and disasters left in its wake, offer us? We are being asked to stand up, speak our truth, and in doing so, expand our belief of what's possible for the philanthropic sector to help create kinder communities. Just imagine: What would philanthropy look like – what would the world look like – if each of us, in whatever organization we find ourselves, in whatever position we hold,stood up and demanded a kinder way forward? As James Rhee declared, "Don't lead from your credentials. Lead from your heart."
Yes to that!

Brooklyn DA Kenneth Thompson Dies After Battle With Cancer
Filed Under:Brooklyn District Attorney, Kenneth Thompson, Steve Langford
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson has died at the age of 50.
The DA's office announced that Thompson died Sunday after a hard-fought battle with cancer.
Just last week, Thompson revealed publicly that he was battling cancer.
"Recently, I was diagnosed with cancer. As a man of intense faith, I intend to fight and win the battle against this disease," Thompson said in a statement released Tuesday. "I humbly seek your sincere prayers as I confront this challenge and respectfully ask that you honor my family's need and wish for privacy during this time."
As CBS2's Steve Langford reported, Thompson scored an upset victory in 2013 by defeating longtime Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes.
Thompson was the borough's first African-American district attorney.
CBS2 spoke to Thompson in his office in 2014.
"I take many of these cases home with me, because at the end of the day, when anyone is shot and killed or violently attacked, it's something that I ran to prevent," Thompson said at the time.
Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President Carlo Scissura said he and his borough have lost a friend.
"I mean, a young man who was really dedicated to the people of this borough, who understood adversity and struggle from a personal basis," Scissura said.
The DA's office noted Thompson's many achievements.
In 2014, Thompson began what the DA's office called a groundbreaking policy not to prosecute low-level marijuana possession arrests.
Before being elected DA, Thompson served as a federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of New York, where he was a member of the team that successfully prosecuted former NYPD Officer Justin Volpe in the 1997 beating and torture of Haitian immigrant Abner Louima.
Thompson also served as special assistant to the U.S. Treasury Department Undersecretary for Enforcement in Washington, D.C., and in the General Counsel's office at the Treasury. He was on the team of attorneys and federal agents that conducted an investigation ordered by President Bill Clinton following the 1993 raid on David Koresh and the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas, the DA's office said.
Thompson also worked with members of Congress and the clergy to convince the U.S. Department of Justice to reinvestigate the 1955 murder of Emmett Till, 14, in Money, Mississippi.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced late Sunday that flags in New York state will fly at half-staff for Thompson on Monday.
"I am profoundly saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson after a battle with cancer," Cuomo said in a statement. "Ken was a dedicated public servant who embodied the highest principles of the law, and his grand presence will be sorely missed."
Mayor Bill de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray released a joint statement.
"The thoughts and prayers of our entire city are with District Attorney Ken Thompson, his family and his loved ones tonight. With a life and promise cut far too short, our city was blessed with but a glimpse of Ken's unwavering commitment to justice and his unrivaled pursuit of a more fair system for all those he served. Our courtrooms and our communities have no doubt been dealt a blow with Ken's passing, but I am confident the indelible mark left by his public service will forever be a part of the fabric of our justice system," the statement said. "Tonight we mourn the loss of a champion of reform. Our task now will be to rise each day forward in the spirit Ken lived his life."
Police Commissioner James O'Neill added: "We are deeply saddened by the death of District Attorney Ken Thompson. He dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice and his legacy will live on through his contributions to the criminal justice system. Our deepest condolences and prayers are with his family and loved ones at this time."
Chief Assistant Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said he and the executive team were committed to carrying out Thompson's mission.
"He was a giant among those seeking to reform the criminal justice system and we are all privileged to have worked under his transformative leadership these past three years," Gonzalez said of Thompson in a statement.
Gonzalez continued: "In that short period, he transformed the Office into a model urban prosecutor's office, with a mandate to do justice and treat everyone and every case fairly and with utmost integrity. Among his many initiatives, he created a model for correcting wrongful convictions, instituted a marijuana policy that would later be replicated citywide and started a summons forgiveness program that would also be instituted in several other jurisdictions. Our sincere prayers are with his wife, children and loved ones. May he rest in peace, knowing that he has made Brooklyn and New York City a better place."
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams called Thompson "a true champion of justice."
"Ken was more than my colleague; he was my friend. I am honored to be beside him in the storied history of Brooklyn as the first African-Americans to hold boroughwide office, and I know that many young men and women will reach a bit higher because of the heights that Ken reached in his career and his life," Adams said in a statement. "Let us all lift up his family and friends at this most difficult hour, and let us continue to support the men and women of the Kings County District Attorney's Office who will further the mission that Ken Thompson laid out for our borough, city, state, and nation."
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Thompson was "a bright light who worked tirelessly to make the people of Brooklyn and the City safer. We all mourn this terrible and untimely loss."
New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer called Thompson "a courageous fighter for civil rights and a leader in the battle to bring justice — however long deferred — to people who were unjustly imprisoned for crimes they didn't commit. As a former federal prosecutor and a pioneering Brooklyn District Attorney, he championed the cause of equal justice for all."
New York City Public Advocate Letitia James called Thompson "a great fighter for justice."
"District Attorney Ken Thompson was committed to bringing equity to Brooklyn, and to making our borough safer and fairer for all," James said in the statement. "He stayed true to this commitment until his last moments, and we must all continue his legacy by working for a more just New York."
Thompson was born and raised in New York City. His mother, Clara Thompson, was one of the first female NYPD officers to patrol the streets beginning in 1973, and served as a member of the NYPD for 21 years.
Thompson graduated magna cum laude from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice and earned his law degree from the NYU Law School, where he received the prestigious Arthur T. Vanderbilt Medal for his contributions to the law school community.
Thompson is survived by his wife of 17 years, Lu-Shawn Thompson; his two children, Kennedy and Kenny; and his mother, father, brother and sister. All were at his bedside at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center when he passed away, the DA's office said.
The Kings County District Attorney's office is one of the nation's busiest prosecutor offices and handles more than 80,000 cases a year.

Guns N' Roses Rumored to Reunite for Coachella, Possible Stadium Tour
By NoisePornPress	• 5 years ago
According to multiple sources, Guns N' Roses, is set to headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California, set for April 2016. The reunited band, which includes original members Axl Rose and Slash, is also in talks with promoters to play as many as 25 stadiums throughout North America in the summer of 2016, and is scheduled to be one of the first acts to play the new Las Vegas Arena, set to open in April.
The last show that Axl Rose and Slash played was on July 17, 1993 at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires. The band's most recent tour only included Axl Rose from the original lineup and primarily took place in South America and The Joint in Las Vegas. The group is allegedly asking for up to $3 million per show, meaning a ticket will likely set you back $250-275.
Coachella has a reputation for hosting resurfaced iconic acts, such as Outkast, AC/DC and Steely Dan. Last year's edition drew 198,000 attendees and generated $84.2 million in revenue. The advance sale for tickets is over, but any remaining tickets will be released after the lineup is revealed in 2016. Check out more about Coachella here.

Coastal management decisions are complicated. They involve an array of competing concerns, including environmental, social, economic, recreational, and property interests, and are inherently political. These decisions become even more difficult when interested groups use their political and economic leverage to influence the policy debate. The Bonner Bridge replacement project on North Carolina's Outer Banks is an example of how this blend of politics, science, and competing interests can result in extraordinary complexity. This research project uses a qualitative case study of the Bonner Bridge replacement to explore how a bridge project became more about priorities and values than science and technical feasibility and how interested parties, acting through informal coalitions, strategically worked to shape the policy debate. In the process, we see how the replacement of a single aging bridge required 25 years of planning, four environmental impact statements, an environmental assessment, federal and state lawsuits, and a negotiated settlement before a single piling was put into place. Drawing on the policy process literature, this project applies aspects of the Advocacy Coalition and Narrative Policy Frameworks to a qualitative content analysis of the bridge project over a 25 year period (1990-2015). The analysis tracks the emergence and evolution of two distinct coalitions and compares their use of general and narrative strategies to influence the bridge debate. The project addresses an under-explored area in the Advocacy Coalition Framework literature by focusing on how coalitions act strategically to exploit an internal shock within the policy subsystem and contributes to the literature by exploring the intersection of the two frameworks. The research design addresses three different questions: (1) did the bridge project function as an internal shock; (2) how did the coalitions use narratives and strategies to exploit this shock; and (3) what roles did science and politics play in these narratives and strategies? The context for the case study, including the science of barrier island and inlet migration, the history, economy, and demographics of Hatteras Island, NC, and regulatory and legal considerations, is explored through a detailed case background and chronology. This chronology is used to designate five policy periods within the case study. The source materials are publicly available narratives and comments produced by coalition members and compiled from newspaper accounts, websites, guest newspaper commentaries, letters to the editors, and comments submitted on the various environmental impact statements. These comments were coded, both by hand and using NVivo software, to identify and track the coalitions' key issues and both general and narrative strategies. These strategies and issues are compared between coalitions and tracked over time using the policy phases and case chronology. The analysis shows that the bridge project upset the status quo in the policy subsystem and triggered the emergence of two coalitions. These coalitions took distinctly different views on which issues were most important in the bridge decision and used different general strategies in the debate. Both sides altered their strategies and issues in response to each other and changing circumstances. The coalitions' narrative strategies indicated that they both perceived themselves as "losing" the debate. Finally, the analysis showed that the coalitions focused more on politics than scientific issues in their narratives. These results suggest directions for future research, including refinement of the idea of policy internal shocks (and related concepts), seconding calls for a hierarchy of coalition resources, and the need to develop a more fluid and dynamic understanding of "winning" and "losing" coalitions. While lessons from a single case study are not directly generalizable to other contexts, this project helps to refine aspects of two policy process frameworks. The case also offers insights into the interplay of science and politics and serves as a lesson in how individuals, both within and outside of government, influenced decisions in a high-stakes, high-visibility coastal infrastructure project.

Illinois Age of Consent & Statutory Rape Laws
Under Illinois law, the age of consent for any type of sexual activity is, typically, Such sexual activity is a crime for which both could be prosecuted, if there was. Violations on Illinois age of sexual consent are punishable under state hire a ciminal defense lawyer who can represent you in court today. In this article, we will answer the question, "at what age can children decide Can a Child Pick the parent they want to live with in Illinois?.
These laws range from those aimed at from protecting minors from being solicited for sex to being photographed or filmed indecently.
Moreover, there are laws in Illinois that cover the obvious sex-related crimes against vulnerable minors. Some of these laws include: Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault — when a person under the age of 17 has sex with a minor under the age of 9, or uses force or threat of force to have sex with a minor at least 9 years old, but under the age of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault of a Child — when a person years-old or older has sex with a minor under the age of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse — when a person years-old or older commits an act of sexual conduct with a minor under the age of 13; or uses force or threat of force to commit an act of sexual conduct with a minor at least 13 years old, but under the age of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse — when a person under the age of 17 commits an act of sexual conduct with a minor under the age of 9; or uses force or threat of force to commit an act of sexual conduct with a minor at least 9 years old, but under the age of The reasons that these particular laws are necessary are clear.
They aim to protect the most vulnerable children in society from sexual abuse.
Illinois Age of Consent Lawyers
The statutory rape laws, or the age of consent laws, in Illinois revolve around the presumption that anyone under the age of 17 cannot consent to sexual acts.
Because of this, many teenagers find themselves in situations in which they are near in age to each other, but still technically violating Illinois law.
For example, an year-old high school senior having sexual relations with a year-old high school junior could be found guilty of criminal sexual abuse. The 16 year old is below the legal age of consent. In Illinois, when a person commits a sexual act with someone under the age of 17, but over the age of 13, and the person is less than 5 years older than the minor, he or she is guilty of criminal sexual abuse — even if both participants believed the sex was consensual.
A minor is a person under the age of As a general matter, Illinois law requires a minor who seeks medical treatment to obtain consent from a parent or guardian.

Automation, Work and the Role of Trade in Services: Understanding Transformations, Exploring Opportunities - Can Trade Policy Help?
The session focused on the impact of automation and digitalisation on the job market. In particular, the speakers were asked to pay particular attention to the role of trade in services as a possible vehicle for allowing new jobs to emerge while existing ones disappear.
The event was moderated by Mr Hannes Schloemann, Director at the WTI Advisors Ltd, who opened the session by reminding the audience that the focus of the discussion was specifically on services rather than goods. He launched the discussion by asking panellists thought-provoking questions regarding the future of employment, considering the fact that recent studies showed that 'up to 25% of a CEO's tasks can surely be automated'.
Mr Jens Riis Andersen, Associate Partner at McKinsey, addressed the question by illustrating the upcoming research study that McKinsey has conducted on nine European countries (mainly Scandinavian and Benelux countries together with Ireland and Estonia) in partnership with Google. The key finding consists in the fact that automation is indeed having a positive impact on the job market. Digitalisation is contributing to an increase of productivity and, as in case of past critical structural changes in the market, labour markets will eventually adapt and reshape. In particular, he argued that the discussion pertains mostly to the creation of a 'new skills structure': it is estimated that 16% of existing jobs will be replaced by automation (i.e. 'lost jobs'); 6% of jobs will be replaced by 'new digital jobs' (i.e. jobs related to creating and using automation) and 11% of the existing tasks will not be related to digital tasks, but rather linked to services and investments in new growth.
Mr Lionel Fontagné, Professor of Economics at the Paris School of Economics, Université Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne, and Director of the Centre d'Economie de la Sorbonne (CES), approached the discussion reasoning on a possible 'deindustrialised future of the economy'. His argument focuses on current data showing a reduction of good-production firms in favour of a service-based model. In France, 87% of manufacturing firms sell goods and services; one third of them sells mostly services, and a quarter sells services only. Moreover, he considered that it is the nature of trade itself to undergo change: trade will not be about individuals exchanging goods but rather machineries trading non-physical goods (most of the value traded nowadays lies in ideas and intellectual property rights for example).
Mr Hosuk Lee-Makayima, Director at the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE), affirmed that thinking that automation will lead to unemployment is not an evidence-based opinion because the aggregated data of unemployment is slightly dwindling. By looking at the US economy, where a high number of jobs were estimated to be lost, he counter-argued that this actually represented an upgrade of workers' skills and tasks as 'those jobs were upgraded to services'.
Mr Magnus Rentzhog, Senior Adviser at the Swedish National Board of Trade (Kommerskollegium), recalled the concept of 'servicification' developed during the 2010 study of Swedish manufacturing. With this phenomenon, he meant not only that firms buy, use and produce more services in-house than before, but also that they sell and export them more and more. The answer lies in the fact that many of the services that are needed (e.g. cloud computing) are related to automation.
Ms Marion Jansen, Chief Economist at the International Trade Centre, affirmed the need to continue to regulate because on the one hand, domestic regulations do not address specific issues (such as blockchain technology), and on the other hand, when these regulations exist they are difficult to internationalise. Moreover, she agreed that automation will cause a 'reshuffling' of the current job market configuration; however, this impact will be costly in terms of money and time.
Mr Hamid Mamdouh, Director, Trade in Services and Investment Division, WTO, concluded the session by reasoning on the applicability of existing trade policies. He believes that on the regulatory side, there is confusion regarding the categorisation of new services and processes. In particular, he stressed the importance of distinguishing between business models and products as well as goods and services. For example, he defines Uber as an innovative business model combining different products (e.g. transportation, insurance, payment methods).


Perfect colourI took a picture of me wearing the wig and posted it on my facebook page, all my friends love it. I just bought the wig for when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to fix or wash my own hair..I just throw on the wig.
just rightIt is light, airy, and flatters every face shape. When you first get it out of the package you will notice that it is a little too shiny, so you must dust it with a little powder. Wide tooth combs work best for wigs so you don't brush the hair out. Run your fingers through this wig until you get the part just right, looks great.
Dream come trueI always wanted silky straight hair and it's a dream come true that I can. Although the wig isn't real hair, it looks and feels lovely and no one has asked me if it's a wig (unless they know I have frizzy hair) and no one stares at me!

Digitaloid and Humanity
Album Title:
Music Tap
Catalog No.:
CZCMT-001
Buy at Amazon Japan
Digitaloid and Humanity is the first original album by SENSORS, a band that comprises of III's Ippo Yamada and Ryo Kawakami, as well as Takumi Gennaka and focuses primarily on keyboards, bass, and drums, although there are guest musicians featured as well. In addition, guest contributions by Megaman composers Manami Matsumae and Yasuaki Fujita, arranged by SENSORS, are also present on this album. For fans of music arranged for band and the sounds of III, is this album worth picking up?
The album opens up with "Midnight Stream," originally composed by Manami Matsumae. Immediately, the melody definitely manages to grab your attention, as it sounds like it would fit right into a classic Megaman game. The arrangement is quite simple, dominated by a variety of synths that really help give it lift and charm. Yasuaki Fujita's contribution, "Digitaloid Girl," also sounds like it would fit in a classic Megaman game and features another very memorable and charming melody. There is also a slight Asian tone heard at times, particularly in the intro, and some darker tones that really make the piece feel a bit more dynamic.
The rest of the contributions on the album are composed by either Ippo Yamada or Ryo Kawakami. "Mechanical Life," by Ippo Yamada, opens with some voice samples, before moving onto a melody that is quite mysterious in nature. The piece itself features lots of bass, which accentuates the mysterious nature of the piece; however, the star of the show is definitely the synthesizer, as it helps really lift the melody into something quite special. "Solitary Moon," also by Yamada, takes a much darker approach with its slower tempo, industrial sound, and eerie and moody keyboard work. It is definitely one of the highlights on the album and contrasts quite nicely with the more upbeat compositions that dominate the album. Yamada's last contribution, "Iphigeneia," opens up with some sleek bass work and vocoder before moving into an upbeat tune that definitely features an Asian influence in terms of rhythm and melody. It's a great piece and features plenty of atmosphere thanks to its softer sections.
Ryo Kawakami's "Discovery," while definitely giving off a fun sound and a fairly memorable melody, is one of the weaker tunes on the album, in my opinion. It features some violin, although it only is during the bass heavy bridge and feels a bit underutilized as such. However, the ethereal and almost ice-like synthesizer used in the accompaniment definitely helps the piece. "Blind Chronos," similar to "Mechanical Life," opens with voice samples, but the atmosphere is definitely one that is darker. There is a very industrial sound and is reminiscent of some of the more atmospheric pieces featured in Metroid Prime. However, that being said, that doesn't mean that melody isn't a focus. On the contrary, there is definitely a prominent melody that helps to accentuate the overall eerie tone of the piece. The album closes with Kawakami's "Remote Society," which is definitely Kawakami's strongest contribution to the album. It features a fun and vibrant soundscape, thanks to the melody, which would work quite well in a Megaman game. However, despite this, I feel that Kawakami's contributions are definitely the weaker portions of the album.
In the end, I think that SENSORS' first album, Digitaloid and Humanity is quite enjoyable. Featuring guest contributions by Megaman veterans as well as those by Ippo Yamada and Ryo Kawakami, it's a fun keyboard and synthesizer led album that definitely draws influence from Yellow Magic Orchestra as well as Megaman's musical history. If the combination of the three things mentioned sound like a winning combination, this album may be for you.

Vice-Presidential Debate
• A Debate Absent the Vision of the Working Class
• A Possible Explanation for Obama's Debate Performance
A Debate Absent the Vision of the Working Class
Vice-president Joe Biden and Republican challenger Paul Ryan will debate on October 11. The debate is being presented as critical for Obama, after what is called his "lackluster" performance in the first presidential debate. As has been the case before and since the first debate, emphasis is going to form — how the two candidates will perform. Both are being called on to be aggressive and one can anticipate a lot of back and forth exchange with little substance and many "big lies," about jobs, budgets, deficits and war. Look for Biden to take on his bull-dog persona.
There is of course little discussion about the form of the debate itself, which excludes all third party candidates. The form is also designed to depoliticize people as they watch. Thoughtful and informed debate, with examination of who decides crucial matters like war and peace and the economy, is not permitted. The vision of the working class demanding a new direction for the economy and political affairs is completely excluded. Workers have their own heads and experience and vision — why is such content completely excluded?
A serious debate is one between the actual visions in contention today, between the monopoly owners and the working class. Breaking out of the narrow confines of the existing debates and organizing to actually discuss the vision of the working class among our fellow workers and peers would contribute to changing the political atmosphere in favor of the people. The depoliticizing and disinforming imposed by the debates, where there is to be no alternative to the failed system of the rich, needs to be rejected.
The working class has an alternative: a new direction for the economy, where workers decide and the economy is organized to guarantee the rights of the people, not the private interests of the monopoly owners. It is an economy where workers, as producers, have first claim on the wealth and the government, as representative of society and socially responsible for providing for the rights of the people has second claim. On this basis, there is easily sufficient wealth to meet all the basic rights of the people to jobs, housing, healthcare, food and education at a U.S. standard.
The working class also has the demand for a new direction for political affairs, for a modern democracy where the people themselves govern and decide. We do not need the politicians of the rich, we need our own worker politicians. We need a set up where there is public financing of the process, so that all candidates have an equal right to be elected. On that basis there would actually be candidates representing the workers elected and not simply those who are vying to be champions of the rich.
Voice of Revolution urges all concerned to organize among fellow workers and peers to have serious political debate on the vision of the working class for a new direction for the economy and political affairs. Elaborate the vision of the working class and debate measures today to make that vision a reality, like public financing of the process.
A Possible Explanation for Obama's Debate Performance
Many people are wondering how it is that President Barack Obama, known for his oratory skills and abilities to communicate, performed poorly at the first debate. He came across as disinterested and cool, unwilling to jump into the fray. Romney on the other hand was aggressive through out. Some say the president was attempting to remain presidential — he is supposed to be above the mudslinging, if not in the negative advertising, at least during the debates.
There is however perhaps another explanation. It is fairly well known that Obama's base is not as energized this time around. Many are disillusioned with the president and expected to sit out the election. Numerous polls also indicate that if Obama's base does turn out in large numbers, he will easily win.
Coming into the first debate, Obama was said to be ahead, especially in the swing states. Since the debate, he is said to be slipping and even behind. What better way to mobilize the base than to now be positioned as an underdog, losing ground to Romney? And what better way to prepare to counter Romney than to save key ammunition, like that about the "47 percent" until closer to the election, when the anger can be re-ignited? Watch for Obama to emphasize that he is having difficulties and needs everyone to rally round and get out and vote, for him to win.

Washington: 'I Lead With Integrity'
Baltimore Mayor's Race
Sean Yoes
By Sean Yoes, AFRO Baltimore Editor
Sen. Mary Washington, who recently declared her candidacy for Mayor of Baltimore, concedes she took a slightly circuitous route to finally settle in the city she now wants to lead.
"I was going to be an elementary school teacher," revealed Washington during a wide-ranging conversation with the AFRO. The Philadelphia native first came to Baltimore in 1989 to begin graduate work at Johns Hopkins University, after earning her teaching degree at Antioch University in Philadelphia (she was certified to teach K-8). She also earned her PhD from Hopkins, before leaving the city to take an assistant professor position at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. She finally returned to the city in 2000 to work as a Census consultant and she's been here ever since.
"I came back because I love the city," Washington said. "It is home."
But, the city she says she loves is also a city she, like many others, believes has suffered from failed leadership. "For more than a decade Baltimore's mayors have failed our communities," said Washington during a 30 second commercial launching her campaign. But, according to the State Senator, who currently represents the 43rd District of East Baltimore (Washington first served the 43rd in the House of Delegates from 2010-2018, then was elected to the Senate in 2018), many of the city's most vulnerable residents have endured decades of neglect, which has compounded ubiquitous and daunting challenges.
"We have a lot of good people in this city, who have gotten caught up in some very difficult situations, some of which has a lot to do with the economy, some has to do with the trauma associated with the violence in the street," Washington said. "What's not talked about is that we have those 300 murders, but we also have…the families of those 300 people, the communities of those 300 people, and there's trauma associated with that, that makes them not able to be their full selves," added Washington, who as the oldest of six children sometimes watched her parents (her mother was a nurse and her father was a respiratory therapist) struggle financially in the 1970's when they lost jobs. But, she says the values and work ethic she witnessed in them helped inform an important facet of her approach to governance; turn to the residents of the very neighborhoods, most adversely affected by the city's seemingly intractable problems.
"I have absolute confidence in the people of Baltimore City to be a part of and to define and to structure the way that we address our problems," she said. "There's a role for the large non-profits…they've been good partners, but we are leaving so many assets on the table by not fully engaging everyone."
Washington also identified the clear nexus between many urban ills.
"I believe a mayor can make a difference in terms of being a leader and giving a bully pulpit…to our issues around crime, (which) are related to our issues around poverty, are related to the divestment in our housing market, are related to the lack of access to jobs," she said.
"That it's all related and you just can't focus on one thing, you have to do it simultaneously."
However, there continues to be a singular focus by a large swath of city residents on the beleaguered Baltimore Police Department (BPD), in the minds of many one of the most corrupt law enforcement agencies in the United States.
"We have to be open and honest about who we are as a city. Our police department has to be open and honest about its history, not just what we want to be," Washington said.
"I support the vision of being more engaged and looking forward. But, you cannot turn your back to the past. And I absolutely on day one (would) sit with the FOP, the police commissioner, the council and key leaders in the city, who have been about this work. Let's put it on the table and be honest about where we are. I won't be an apologist for the Baltimore Police Department, I also won't be their executioner. They are a part of the solution," added Washington, who also outlined a vision of grassroots organizational support.
"I would appropriate some of the money in the budget to build teams that are in line with the crime plan. I would have a peace plan, I talk about a peace plan. It's about violence reduction, violence interruption, getting ahead of it through…Ceasefire, Safe Streets. And frankly, the barber who is well-respected, engaging him," Washington explained. "It doesn't have to be just these formal non-profits. But, then adding to that these systems that we know are informed, that we know can help make things better."
Further, Washington talked about a plan to "revitalize" the city's network of Community Action Centers (CAC).
"A strategic investment from my administration would be in these Community Action Centers, that are already there, and make them more than just a place to sign up for weatherization," she said. "They would be the hubs. And the thing is, I value the neighborhood orientation of Baltimore. So, our solutions aren't going to really be just top down. It's not the mayor dictating what happens."
If elected, Washington would be the city's first open member of the LGBTQ community to lead the city as mayor.
"I think what it says to the public (is) that you have an elected official that you can trust to be open and honest about who they are," Washington said. "And that I'm not hiding anything. And that I bring a unique perspective of having these different parts of my identity and being part of different groups that are stigmatized…I have always been open and honest about who I am and that they can trust me."
Washington is also open about those who only want to focus on Baltimore's sparkling attributes.
"Thy say, `I don't want to see the poverty, I don't want to see the crime. I don't want to be reminded of that,'" Washington said. "But, you know what? We need to look in the mirror and be reminded that we've allowed generations upon generations of children to live in poverty and crime and violence, and we've not done enough to fix it. That's on us," she added.
"I love everything about Baltimore, I love what's beautiful, and I even love it's scars… And I feel that's my work…to allow us to see that beauty even through that difficulty. Because I have to do that as well for myself as a Black woman in this country. To know my worth and to know that worth even when others don't," Washington said.
"And to be one of the leaders, the leader of this city that I identify with in so many ways. To me, I couldn't imagine a more humbling yet, powerful contribution to the people that I love and care about."

'All Lives Matter': Bill Would Define An Unborn Baby As A 'Person'
FEATURED, POLITICAL NEWS, THE CONSTITUTION
By Jennifer Johnson
A pro-life resolution, 'Missouri House Joint Resolution 98' would amend the state constitution and grant the right to life to "unborn human children at every stage of biological development." Legislators amended the resolution Tuesday to remove exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, the report states.
Life News reports that a Missouri House committee passed a controversial pro-life resolution Tuesday that would recognize unborn babies as human beings in the state constitution.
The Kansas City Star reports Missouri House Joint Resolution 98 would amend the state constitution and grant the right to life to "unborn human children at every stage of biological development." Legislators amended the resolution Tuesday to remove exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, the report states.
Some believe the resolution would ban abortions completely in Missouri, but state Rep. Mike Moon, R-Ash Grove, who proposed the measure, is unsure. He previously said the resolution would lay the groundwork for laws or litigation to end abortion in the future, but it likely would not ban abortions right away because of Roe v. Wade.
"As a former embryo myself, I want that protection for all embryos, present and future," Moon said, according to the Associated Press. He added his goal is to "set a foundation in the [state] Constitution that protects the health of women and unborn children."
However, pro-abortion legislators on the committee spoke out against the bill Tuesday, calling it "extreme" and saying women's lives would be in danger.
If it passes the legislature, the resolution would go on the ballot for a vote in November. A full state House vote is unlikely because the legislative session ends soon, according to the local news report.
A number of other states, including Alabama and Oklahoma are considering similar measures to ban abortion altogether. However, these measures are highly unlikely to become law. Because of the current political climate and the precedents set in the U.S. Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade, courts would almost certainly strike down the measures.
The Supreme Court has ruled on personhood amendments previously and indicated they amount to a statement of position on behalf of the state and are not able to ban abortions in and of themselves. In 2012, the Oklahoma Supreme Court also struck down a similar personhood bill as unconstitutional.
The key to ending legalized abortion is overturning Roe v. Wade, and the current Supreme Court justices are highly unlikely to do so, especially after the unexpected death of pro-life Justice Antonin Scalia. Three of the justices, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and John Roberts, likely would vote to overturn Roe and return abortion laws back to the authority of the states; but five of the other justices almost certainly would not. Scalia's seat on the high court remains empty. Pro-abortion President Barack Obama recently nominated Merrick Garland to the high court, but pro-lifers believe he is pro-abortion and oppose his nomination.
To overturn Roe and make abortion illegal again, Americans need to elect a pro-life president and U.S. Senators who will put pro-life judges on the high court. This would pave the way for the reversal of Roe and a return to a country that protects every human life.

The Anglican ministry is both the leadership and agency of Christian service in the Anglican Communion. "Ministry" commonly refers to the office of ordained clergy: the threefold order of bishops, priests and deacons. More accurately, Anglican ministry includes many laypeople who devote themselves to the ministry of the church, either individually or in lower/assisting offices such as lector, acolyte, sub-deacon, Eucharistic minister, cantor, musicians, parish secretary or assistant, warden, vestry member, etc. Ultimately, all baptized members of the church are considered to partake in the ministry of the Body of Christ.

The Parish of the Falkland Islands is an extra-provincial church in the Anglican Communion. In 1869, the "Diocese of the Falkland Isles" with jurisdiction over the rest of South America except for British Guiana was established. The name was due to a legal technicality: at that time there was no way an English bishop could be consecrated for areas outside the jurisdiction of the Crown. From the start, the bishop resided in Buenos Aires and had his administrative office there. From 1902 to 1973, the jurisdiction of the diocese was progressively reduced in area as more dioceses were established in South America and after the formation of the "Consejo Anglicano Sudamericano" in 1973 as a step towards the formation of a new province of the Anglican Communion the Parish became extra-provincial under the direct jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Until the war between Britain and Argentina in 1982, at the Archbishop's request episcopal functions were performed by the Anglican Bishop of Argentina.

Q: C# threading parallel Help is very welcome and extremely appreciated, thank you. What this program is, is a ProxyChecker, because i've bought a bunch and will continue to do so of proxies with different user/passes etc, however some have expired. I added a break point and what it's doing is actually skipping the ProxyClient code and going straight to for each var item in 1, if item accepts connection etc, it then just returns false and finishes.
private static void CheckProxy(object state)
{
    var u = user[0];
    var p = pass[0];
    var l = new List<MyIP>();
    Parallel.ForEach(l.ToArray(), (ip_item) =>
    {
        try
        {
            string ip = ip_item.IP;
            using (var client = new ProxyClient(ip, u, p))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ip, user, pass);
                client.Connect();
                ip_item.AcceptsConnection = client.IsConnected;
            }
        }
        catch
        {
            l.Remove(ip_item);
        }
    });
    foreach (var item in l)
    {
        if (item.AcceptsConnection == true)
        {
            WriteToFile(user[0], pass[0]);
        }
        Console.WriteLine(item.IP + " is " + (item.AcceptsConnection) + " accepts connections" + " doesn not accept connections");
    }
}

Load ips function:#
private static void loadips()
        {
            using (TextReader tr = new StreamReader("ips.txt"))
            {
                var l = new List<MyIP>();
                string line = null;
                while ((line = tr.ReadLine()) != null)
                {
                    l.Add(new MyIP { IP = line });
                }
            }
        }

I have added this in response to the answer. I believe this is a variable issue as the variable is locally declared not publicly any ideas how to fix? i'm unable to find a way to get this working seems like i'm being dumb. thanks.

A: Your code "skips" the Parallel.ForEach because the local variable l is an empty list (you just created it with new List<MyIP>().
Your loadips() method only fills a list referenced only by (another) local variable l, which is out of scope when the using block is left.
There are several ways to solve that. If both methods are in the same class, you could declare a member variable in that class of type List<MyIP> and fill that list in your loadips().
My suggestion would be to change loadips() so that it returns the list of read ip addresses and call this from CheckProxy():
private static List<MyIP> loadips() // changed return type to List<MyIP>
{
    using (TextReader tr = new StreamReader("ips.txt"))
    {
        var l = new List<MyIP>();
        string line = null;
        while ((line = tr.ReadLine()) != null)
        {
            l.Add(new MyIP { IP = line });
        }
        return l; // return the list!
    }
}

and the CheckProxy:
private static void CheckProxy(object state)
{
    var u = user[0];
    var p = pass[0];
    var l = loadips(); // load IPs here
    Parallel.ForEach(l.ToArray(), (ip_item) =>
    {
        ...

How can physical space impact on the learning process?
The American School project in Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, provides an effective solution to the changing needs of this learning establishment. The interaction between the pavilions, the playground and the entrance hall helps to structure the school, providing environments suited to all types of pupils, including those from other countries. Carefully adapted to the local architecture, the complex creates harmony between buildings and empty spaces, exterior and interior spaces, with the connection to the green backdrop and local flora assuming a prominent role.
Together with the low height of the volumes, the positioning of the school in terms of the surrounding vegetation fosters a natural shading system, which is highly beneficial in light of the natural climate of the region. The effect is also one of an invitation to relax and learn in a peaceful environment close to nature. The plans to extend the complex are compatible with the continued operation of the site, even during the extension process.
