The Only Way to Stop the GOP's Democracy Doom Loop
Republicans are on a warpath against voting rights. Democrats alone won't block them—we need mass grassroots resistance.

During his Memorial Day speech on May 31, President Biden declared that American democracy is "in peril." That claim may seem overblown at first glance. But it's not.
Across the country, 48 states have introduced nearly 400 bills placing arbitrary and senseless hurdles between voters and the ballot box, attempting to kill democracy through a death by a thousand cuts in order to impose minority rule.
In Michigan, the GOP has been on the warpath against democracy for years, and, as has been the case across the country, the most sinister attacks are occurring through unflashy manipulations of the legislative process. Just last month, the Michigan state GOP introduced a package of bills that makes small improvements to voter access while smuggling in voter ID and absentee ballot restrictions, and limiting the ability of county clerks and the secretary of state to help voters navigate the process. Faced with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's inevitable veto, Republicans are relying on a legislative initiative process that allows them to enact an unpopular anti-democratic agenda with a minority of voter support.
Michigan voters, meanwhile, have long defended people's ability to participate in democracy. In 2018, they overwhelmingly said yes to automatic and same day voter registration, along with straight-ticket and no-reason absentee voting. Still, Michigan's Republicans, like the rest of the GOP, are seemingly obsessed with limiting people's ability to influence their government.
To overcome Republican attempts to scalpel out voting rights for groups they don't like, it will likely take an explosion of organized grassroots pressure from below, of the type being taken up by the Poor People's Campaign and other pro-democracy groups. Just last week, more than 20 people, including Revs. Jesse Jackson and William J. Barber II, who leads the Poor People's Campaign, were arrested for civil disobedience during a large protest in Washington, D.C. demanding passage of the For the People Act, which would expand voting rights across the country.
This is the type of resistance that can help create outside pressure on Congress — and on the Biden White House to make democracy reform a priority. The best shot today's voting rights advocates have at repeating the success of their forerunners in the 1960s is to revive that era's spirit of disruption and confrontation with political elites.
Experts ring the alarm
As nearly 200 scholars of democracy warned in a dire letter for the think tank New America in June, "our entire democracy is now at risk" as hundreds of Republican-sponsored bills in states across the country threaten to either block or exhaust voters to the point of surrender. The letter's authors warn that "the recent deterioration of U.S. elections" means that "several states…no longer meet the minimum conditions for free and fair elections."
They go on to highlight examples in nearly every corner of the country. Harsh limits to voting rights have either already been adopted, will soon be adopted, or are under serious consideration in Republican-run states including Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Montana and Texas, to name a few.
In the long run, the experts argue, the United States could soon become a country of "extended minority rule," which calls "into question whether the United States will remain a democracy" since majority opinion will be increasingly unable to shape government decisions. And without aggressive federal intervention, Republicans could "reverse the outcome of a free and fair election," making the sloppy attempt by Trump and his backers to overturn the 2020 results look amateurish by comparison.
This is bleak stuff for a country that democracy experts have already labeled a "civil oligarchy" in a Cambridge University Press study, where "economic elites" and "business interests" enjoy massive influence over policy "while average citizens…have little or no independent influence."
The success of the Republican Party depends on banishing voters they don't like from the political landscape. The reason is straightforward: they know that, essentially, no one likes their ideas. The GOP has failed to persuade a lasting majority of Americans that corporations should answer to no one, that inequality is a natural phenomenon, and that weaker nations must be strong-armed into obediently serving American interests. The only remaining option then, as the country becomes increasingly repellent to Republicans' ideas, is to make sure that the majority who oppose them can't govern. As the New York Times' Ezra Klein says, "Republicans are setting off a 'doom loop' for democracy."
The shaky path forward
Democracy's defenders can defeat today's attempts to subvert the will of the people by using the same tool used to overthrow its Jim Crow forefather: "federal action to protect equal access of all citizens to the ballot and to guarantee free and fair elections," the scholars write.
That will also require abolishing (or at least reforming) the filibuster — the Senate rule that makes it essentially impossible to pass anything without a 60-vote majority, and an artifact of the days when open, chest-thumping segregationists ruled Congress.
A federal bill to protect American democracy already exists. It is called the For the People Act and its main provisions are wildly popular. Polls show that 80 percent of Americans support the steps the bill takes to get unlimited corporate money out of politics. And 60 percent support its expansions of early voting, same-day voting and automatic voter registration. Perhaps most importantly, voters back the bill's creation of nonpartisan redistricting commissions so that no party can weasel their way into unearned power. In 2012, for example, Democrats won 51.1 percent of the national vote and all they had to show for it was 46 percent of the seats in Congress, thanks to Republicans' crafty manipulation of the congressional map-drawing process.
So there is a bill in Congress that expands voting rights, enjoys wide popular support and has already passed through both the House and, as of last month, a version of it was voted for by 50 senators who caucus with the Democrats. So why isn't it heading straight to President Biden's desk? Because Republicans filibustered it.
It's long been obvious that the GOP would never consider serious voting rights legislation. As Vox reported in 2019, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell "openly mocked" the bill the second it was introduced, calling it a "terrible proposal" that "will not get any floor time in the Senate."
Facing this obstruction, building support to alter or abolish the filibuster is inescapable. Democrats only have (at best) 51 votes, meaning that the party must remove the filibuster in order to shield democracy from the people (and party) dedicated to destroying it. But there's at least one thing standing in the way: Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who has long voiced opposition to ending the filibuster.
In a June 6 op-ed for the Charleston Gazette-Mail, Manchin portrays his filibuster defense as a noble crusade to protect "the already weakening binds of our democracy." It could be hard to imagine any path to changing the mind of a senator who writes an article that "might as well be titled, 'Why I'll vote to preserve Jim Crow,'" as progressive Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.) says.
But those who think Manchin is immovable forget that he's still a politician who responds to prevailing political winds. His own history proves it. As Manchin's 2011 support for filibuster reform shows, he is clearly willing to change positions. If Biden wanted to force Manchin's hand, he could take him into his office and demand to know what he wants in order to get back to that position — and then make it happen.
The other reliable way to change the political terrain, and how policy makers behave, is by taking demands to the streets. That's the path the Poor People's Campaign took this month when they led a "Moral March on Manchin" in West Virginia, with hundreds of residents calling on the senator to support both filibuster reform and the For the People Act.
As Rev. William J. Barber II, co-founder of the Poor People's Campaign, put it: "We are here to bring street heat and moral heat to the legislative processes. The voices of the people in West Virginia will be heard."
The Poor People's Campaign is a part of a growing web of grassroots groups organizing to pass robust voting rights protections. Black Voters Matter, a national advocacy group, recently wrapped up a "Freedom Ride for Voting Rights" bus tour, curving through the South before its grand finale in Washington, D.C. this month.
And ahead of the 58th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom this August, a coalition of labor and civil rights groups, including Service Employees International Union and the National Action Network, plan to host commemorative "March On for Voting Rights" rallies across the country.
The tyranny of the filibuster
As writer Adam Jentleson argues in his new book Kill Switch: The Rise of the Modern Senate and the Crippling of American Democracy, the filibuster was created nearly a century after the country's founding by Southern senators "driven to create a new means of obstruction by one overriding goal: preserving white supremacy."
John C. Calhoun, South Carolina senator and champion of slave labor camps and elite minority rule, first used what would become the modern filibuster in 1841 "as part of a white supremacist mission to preserve slavery" at the time the abolitionist movement began to grow. He did so using the familiar invocation of "minority rights," which was really "a cloak for the interests of the wealthy, the powerful" and "the white supremacist," as Jentleson writes. That racist use of the filibuster continued in the decades that followed.
Far from being wielded in defense of grand principles like "minority rights" and "deliberation," as Calhoun faked, the filibuster was and continues to be a blunt weapon that "guarantees a minority of predominantly white conservatives the ability to impose their will." In "the 87 years between the end of Reconstruction and 1964" Jentleson writes, "the only bills that were stopped by filibusters were civil rights bills."
If Democrats don't quickly change the filibuster rule to pass voting rights legislation, Republican state legislatures will continue to extinguish democracy, entrench extended minority rule, and use their power to enact a broadly unpopular agenda across the country.
It's no surprise that GOP politicians and their corporate backers tremble at the thought of genuine democracy. But every time progress has been achieved, it's because popular movements have exerted enough pressure to make elites comply.
With the axe swinging over the head of democracy, it's clear that massive and organized public pressure is fast becoming the only pathway to political change. There's no time to waste.

putting data and intelligence at the heart of public service delivery
Data Cymru
Understanding the places where we live and work - Challenges and opportunities
Place based evidence is essential, both to plan and deliver services and to understand how places are changing over time. This is being brought into stronger focus in recent work to better understand well-being at a community level. However, painting a picture of a place and being able to distinguish its characteristics from those of other places brings its challenges. Firstly, how best to define our places in a consistent way, while providing information on a geographical basis which service providers (and citizens) will recognise as towns, communities, etc. Secondly, the challenge of limited robust quantitative data being available at a sub-local authority level.
We're always up for a challenge and have spent the last 18 months looking at what might be possible. With support from the Cardiff Capital Region we have developed a successful pilot tool as a 'proof of concept'. In terms of defining a 'place', we have used the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Built-up Areas (BUA) geography. Given that ONS recommends caution when using statistics for BUAs with a population of less than 1,500 people, we settled on BUAs with a population of 1,500 or more. This gave us 80 'places' in the Cardiff Capital Region. We were able to source an initial set of data for these places.
So, where are we now? Feedback from demonstrations of the pilot tool over the Spring and Summer of 2018 was very positive. So much so, we've pressed ahead with the development of a fully bilingual tool covering 'places' across Wales. Profilingplaces.Wales will launch in the coming weeks as a beta version. While aimed at supporting local government and its partners, we hope it will be useful to a wider audience.
We have an exciting route map planned for the tool, with a long-term focus on its potential to support understanding of the data coming out the 2021 Census. In the meantime, we'll be looking for input from users as we seek to add further data and extend its functionality.
To keep in touch with the launch of the new tool please follow us on Twitter. If you'd like to discuss this work further, or have a demonstration of the new tool, please drop me an email.

Guide to Start Private / Incognito Chat in Google Allo
The new messenger from Google "Allo" was finally released for all Android and iOS users last week. Despite having already exceeded 1 million downloads, still has a long way to go if Google wants to compete with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, but the App has come with some new features quite interesting such as Incognito Chat mode. This feature allows users to create a private conversation with self-destructive content. This feature has been released recently for Facebook Messenger, but it is not available in WhatsApp.
In the tutorial below, we will show you how to start an Incognito Chat in Google Allo and how to set the expiration time of each message. Thus, the chat will not be recorded on your phone.
The private chat windows in Google Allo have two major advantages over the others: encryption protection and choose the expiration time of the messages. Moreover, this kind of talk can only be started with people who already have account on messenger. You can send photos, stickers, drawings, and text or voice messages.
Before you begin, you need to know some details. Private windows are on the list of conversations, as well as others, without requiring password to access the content. In addition, the application does not alert you when the recipient takes prints of the conversation, as in Snapchat, which can yield information leakage.
How to Start a Private Chat
Step 1. On the Home screen Allo, tap the new chat icon in the lower right corner. Then choose the "Start Incognito Chat" option.
Step 2. On the next screen, Allo will be displayed account with contacts. Choose the person you want to chat.
Step 3. A private chat window opens and you can start the conversation.
Tip: at any time, the user can set the expiration time of the messages that will be sent next. Simply tap on the clock at the top of the screen, and choose one of the time intervals ranging from five seconds to one week.

Is the C5030 the same thing as the C5025? I'm looking for a generic cartridge and your website says it will fit a C5025 and nothing shows for a C5030.
Hi, Paul. The C5030 is the current model that replaced the C5025; however, the replacement cartridges are the same PL0106.
I have an old 1 1/2" Vari-Flo Multiport valve that has been used on a DE filter. What valve do you recommend for the c5030 filter?
A Answered on 6/3/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.
Hi, Steve. This Swimclear Cartridge Filter - C5030 does not require a valve.
Does the c5030 filter price on website quoted include the 4 filters?
A Answered on 5/26/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.
Hi Tom, Yes the 4 cartridges are included.
I have a 18 x 36 x 4.7 avg depth rectangular pool~ 22.8K gallons. I have 2 skimmers..baskets are 29' & 68' from pump. Currently running a 11 yr old sand filter I want to replace, with a 6 year old STAR RITE MAX E PRO 3.0 HP/3.45 SU HP pump. Previous owner over pumped system when replaced pump because it has 4 water returns in pool & 3 water outlets above. What size filter do you recommend with this pool & pump? If I decided to re-pump, what combo filter and pump?
A Answered on 5/23/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.
Hi Tom, In regards to the filter bigger is always better and with a 3 HP pump the Hayward C5030 would be what we suggest. If you did decide to swap out the pump then you probably could get by with the 2 HP Max E Pro Pump or a 2 HP PureLine Prime Pump. The PureLine Prime would require a little bit of re-plumbing. We would still suggest the large C5030 filter even you changed out your pump.
Is the C5030 a direct replacement for the C5520? By that I mean, can I simply unscrew the locknuts on the C5520 and connect the C5030? Also, does the new filter include cartridges? Thanks.
A Answered on 3/15/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.
Hi, Tim. Yes, the Swimclear Cartridge Filter - C5030 will directly replace the C5520 model filter. The filter body is the same for both models. The cartridges are included with this complete unit.
Hi Bonnie, Our suggestion on a 25' x 40' pool would be this C5030 Cartridge Filter.
A Answered on 4/17/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.
Yes the C5030 is the replacement for the Hayward C5025 Cartridge Filter.

A Answered on 6/20/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.
The measurement from the ground to the center of the intake is 12.5" and 17.5" on the discharge.
Old filter had a crack in the side wall approximately 18 years-old.
After removing the old filter, everything lined up well on the new filter. The pipe fittings were all the same size, so it amounted to an easy fix. No plumber or pool service technician required.

To add to the great announcement about our June 7-8, 2014, seminar location here's a little color commentary about the Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts. It's a not-for-profit art club and academy founded in 1895. It's been located in an 1870's circa mansion in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood since 1921. Many well known artists have been associated with Palette and Chisel including Fred Larson, Charles Russell, William Merritt Chase, Alphonse Mucha, Walter Ufer, and Richard Schmid, to name a few.
Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts offers non-instructed open studios with live models as well as classes and workshops for all levels of experience in many aspects of realistic art. Today, as well as throughout it's long history, it is a respected institution for representational art in Chicago.
Stay tuned here and to FaceBook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram for further updates! We hope you'll join us in adding to the Chicago art story!
Did you know that there are people who plan their whole year's worth of vacations in early January? Maybe you are one of them? If you are good for you. That is awesome. I have trouble with that because I now have more than just me to account for in my plans and coordination is not our strong suit.
So let's think about this. If you are able to plan your vacations and getaways months in advance, have you ever thought about planning a "sketch vacation?" I heard about these recently and it sounds like something I could really get into. This would be combining two of my favorite things in one trip: art and travel. I will typically journal my vacations as a way to gain a better experience on the vacation and it enhances my family's vacation as well. I actually much prefer sketching on my vacations now than building sand sculptures like I used to do when my son was younger.
As I write this, the holiday shopping season is upon us when people young and old are formulating their "wish lists." Retailers, accordingly, are not shy about making suggestions for interesting items that one might want to add to their list by punishing us with promotions and commercials that attack all of our senses.
I wonder if, in there somewhere for those organized types, if there may also be a "wish list" for vacation destinations. Presuming that this could actually happen, allow me to make a suggestion for a weekend getaway for you and your art bag.
Urban Sketchers Chicago will be hosting their very own sketching Seminar weekend in the great city of Chicago on June 7th and 8th, 2014. The event will attract local and visiting urban sketchers from near and far. While sketching at various locations through out downtown Chicago, some of the most respected and qualified instructors will be teaching workshops surrounding on location sketching, color theory, and choosing what to sketch just to name a few. Registration is recommended.
Urban Sketchers (USK) are a local community of artists who come together with a common interest of sketching in urban settings, socializing with like-minded artists and learning some new tips along the way. They practice sketching various scenes that often include interesting architecture, landscaping, people, animals and sketching anything else in their cities, towns and villages in which they live, work or have traveled. It is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to raising the awareness of artistic storytelling and educational value of drawing on location, promoting its practice and connecting people from around the globe.
If this sounds like fun and you would like to check out the Urban Sketchers' activity, simply go to the following pages and look at some of the examples.
Hope for the "technical zombie?"
I heard an interesting quote at a user experience workshop last week: "Our smart devices and screens are making stupid decisions on our behalf all of the time...We are not in control. We are at odds with social etiquette. They are starting to shift our social norms. Walking zombies are now the social norm...Our devices are making us miss out. We are experiencing life through a filter."
Thankfully the act of carrying and sketching in a notebook has the opposite effect. We become more observant to our surroundings. We look up at the world around us. We bring focus to the mundane and common objects. And what we record in our sketchbooks are there for our enjoyment forever.
Urban Sketching (USk) is a global community of artists that practice drawing on location in cities, towns, and villages in which they live, work or have traveled. It is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to raising the artistic, storytelling and educational value of location drawing, promoting its practice and connecting people around the world who draw on location.
USk Chicago is the local community of diverse artists united by a passion for sketching, discussions, socializing and sharing their unique visions of the world around them with others. In fact, the Urban Sketchers motto is "we see the world, one drawing at a time."
Has this ever happened to you? You are drawing, doodling really, just to occupy your hand and your mind while you're killing time and then it happens--the critic shows up.
Critic: "What are your doing?"
Me: "Oh, I'm just sketching the napkin in front of me, having some fun."
Critic: "You call that a sketch? It doesn't really look like the napkin."
Peeehhaaahooooooo! That sound of a descending missile dissolves all of your confidence and your day ruined with an explosion inside your head. Funny how you suddenly remember that you didn't ask them what they thought. You were just trying to have a little fun with your quiet time.
Remember we are "Urban Sketchers." This is what you do. We take ordinary, forgettable objects and things and make them suddenly cool by turning them into a sketch. Ever notice how that TV remote that you handle every day looks more interesting once you turn it into an artistic expression? Or that book of matches, that styrofoam cup of coffee, and even the make-up supplies and brushes on the bathroom vanity. I have often thought about doing a sketch of my sketchbook complete with the sketch that it happens to be showing at the time. That sounds a little bit like the old joke about drawing your image in the mirror and there is a mirror on the wall that also has your image and then the reflection continues on into infinity.
While it is true that there are Urban Sketchers who produce some amazing sketches that would be worthy of framing and including in a Chicago art gallery, we all have our very own gallery of which we should be proud. The good sports teams do not focus on their overall win-loss record. Instead they always talk about going "1-0" (one win, no loss) every single game. The same can be said about your sketchbook. Focus on one page at a time, sketch what you see in front of you, and continue to learn from your experiences. 1-0 with every new page, even if your page is on an iPad like my red basket sketch from above. And much like a good sports team, USk Chicago gets together once a month for sketch crawls to share in our love for sketching and exchange cool tips and tricks on how to sketch on location. Think about joining us when you are in or near Chicago. Visit our Facebook group page to find out more and see examples from our members.
Go to Facebook and search "Urban Sketchers Chicago."
To paraphrase the almost cliçhe Nike campaign from years ago, "Just Doooodle It."
Whenever I tell someone that I am an Urban Sketcher, I get a number of different responses. "You mean like a graffitti artist?" or "Do you draw all over sidewalks?"
In order to explain what Urban Sketching is, let us first dispel some misconceptions about what urban sketching is not.
1. Urban Sketching is not a super hip retail clothing and apparel chain based out of Philadelphia, PA.
5. And finally, Urban Sketchers is not the country male vocalist who once lived in Australia.
Urban Sketching is the activity of capturing a scene from an urban setting, whether that be architecture, nature (such as parks and forest preserves), people going about their lives (there is a whole list of urban activities that people can be caught doing that are just made for the urban sketcher), modes of transportation and any combination of all of these. We sketch with pencil, markers, watercolors, chalks, or anything else we have in our tote bags into our sketchbooks (although I have yet to see anyone sketch in lipstick). The best thing is that Urban Sketching is a group activity where companionship and sharing of technique is a big benefit to belonging with this group.
USk Chicago (USk Chicago) is the local community of diverse artists united by a passion for sketching, discussions, socializing and sharing their unique visions of the world around them with others. In fact, the Urban Sketchers motto is "we see the world, one drawing at a time."
I hope this helps explain the movement in which I am involved. I hope this helps your understanding of it but if you still have questions or comments, please reply to this post and I will be happy to clarify anything for you.
There is a phrase in the user experience world that describes how people interact with their electronic devices when they have "nothing better to do"--at least they think they have nothing better to do. Checking the electronic device is, afterall, an efficient use of time, right?
Take for example this guy in the sketch I made above (at the Brown Elephant Resale Shop in Andersonville, suburbs of Chicago, IL). While I did not have a conversation with this guy, I know that he was doing the good-husband thing by "shopping" with his wife. The way it works is the happy couple enters the shop together and then they somehow get split up--the wife goes to the clothes and knick-knacks and the husband says he is going to check out the furniture.
After a few seconds, when the husband sees that his better half is safely out of range, he pulls out his smart phone so that he can quickly check text messages, Facebook posts, or in this case the Chicago Bears football score. He does this while standing, or hiding, behind the big cabinet in the background. When more and more time goes by, now the husband feels that his wife is really distracted by the cute dress that she found on the rack and a few other items. She gets caught in the tough decision mode. He has now moved onto the couch and the scores of other football games because he is invested in a Fantasy Football league and wants to see how he is doing overall.
I see this kind of behavior at the train station, airports, long cashier lines at the store, waiting for a ride at DisneyWorld and, God forbid, at a signal light with moving traffic. The term "weird time" is meant to describe how the person with the electronic device feels when they are in the company of strangers and feel awkward about looking stupid or striking up a conversation. I understand because I am the same way except that I will pull out my sketchbook to comfort those "weird" feelings of awkwardness. I must add that I never sketch while sitting at a stoplight and my sketches are a longer lasting feeling than those filler moments of checking to see if I am still relevant to the rest of the digital world.
So what happened with our couple above? Eventually she returned to find him on the couch with his phone and gives him the signal that she is done and ready to go. So he gets up and they leave together laughing about the fun things they had both found in The Brown Elephant.
One of the most rewarding things about Urban Sketching and the USk community is the culture of sharing, critiquing, teaching and learning that happens here.
If you look at my sketches, you'll notice that the majority of what I draw is Architecture. I draw it more than anything else simply because I really enjoy it. I'm also more familiar with architectural forms because this is what I got a degree in. I guess you could say it's my go to subject.
It makes sense too, right? You can hardly escape drawing architecture in an "urban sketch." If you are sketching people in a coffee shop for example, you're most likely going to draw the coffee shop you are in to give some context. Or if you are walking around on the street and decided to sketch oh I don't know, a street festival that happens to be going on, it's going to be really hard not to include some of the architecture that's all around you.
So I sketch Architecture. But a huge part of urban sketching is capturing a sense of life in a given sketch. Who is there? How many are there? What are they doing? How are they using the space? Are they having a good time? Not only does including people bring your sketch to life, but it also add's a real nice sense of scale and proportion.
In theory, I know all about these things and how to use them, but actually including them in my sketches has been a different story. Figure drawing is difficult for me, but I've been challenged and inspired by other sketchers to add more "life" to my sketches.
I took the advice and really liked how this last sketch of mine turned out.
Lincoln Park: Today was the perfect day to sketch outside. There was more than a touch of fall in the shade but the sun was golden and warm. Time flew by! I usually don't sketch the architecture. People and other living things are what catch my attention. Today, I think, I had Urban Sketchers Chicago's next Sunday's architectural sketch crawl on my mind and so the Conservatory caught my eye. It's a little over worked but I had a fun doing it and that's what urban sketching is about for me!
I'm down to the last pages in my Stillman and Birn hardbound Beta Series sketchbook. I really love the hardbound book but no one seems to carry them around here. If you know where I can find them please let me know!
Buckingham Fountain: It was hot and hazy afternoon at Buckingham Fountain. I'll bet it was 90+°. There was one little spot of shade by a concession stand and it was just that - only a spot but it was enough! A large lemonade, a sketchbook and a few sketching friends made for a nice afternoon despite the heat.
Sunday, I went sketching with the Urban Sketchers Chicago group. It was really wonderful to meet some sketchers I had not met before. We revisited Chinatown, where we had sketched last year. We are thinking this should be a yearly event.
I arrived early (really?), so while I waited for the others to appear, I did a few sketches, sitting on Cermak Road, facing north. The first sketch is a portion of the Three Happiness Restaurant, and the view up Wentworth Avenue.
Next, I sketched people who were passing by or standing around. I loved the young woman who was listening to a tour group leader giving a lecture. The young woman kept fidgeting her legs around, while keeping her arms crossed. Even from across the street, it was obvious that she was bored out of her mind!
The next two sketches were done at Chinatown Square, a block or two north of Cermak Road, on the west side of Wentworth Avenue. We were happy to discover that there was a Chinatown Festival happening – and it was very festive! We were entertained with music, young children dancing, many different people and even a procession of monks. I set up my little, bum-numbing stool, and began to draw.
When I finished the drawing of the horse sculpture, I acquired a small fan club – two young girls, around 10 and 11 years old, and their twin cousins, the most adorable four-year-old boys. The older girl asked me to draw Angry Birds. (I had to use my phone to find an Angry Bird to draw – the red one, of course!) Then the boys had to have Angry Birds as well. One of the boys asked me to draw a big house. (The house I drew could only have been inhabited with stick figures!) While I was drawing and looking down at the paper, one of the boys kept putting his face under mine, bringing our foreheads together, and staring into my eyes. I'm not sure what that was about! Then the younger girl asked me to draw flowers. I drew everything and gave them the pictures. They hung around for about an hour – a very appreciative audience – and I enjoyed it immensely!
I copied the symbol for "horse" from the base of the sculpture. Then, the oldest member of my fan club asked if she could draw the "new" symbol on my page. I was delighted with that! All in all, a great day with the Urban Sketchers!

Considerations on Western Marxism
0 0 5 Author: Perry Anderson
This synoptic essay considers the nature and evolution of the Marxist theory that developed in Western Europe, after the defeat of the proletarian rebellions in the West and the isolation of the Russian Revolution in the East in the early 1920s. It focuses particularly on the work of Lukács, Korsch and Gramsci; Adorno, Marcuse and Benjamin; Sartre and Althusser; and Della Volpe and Colletti, together with other figures within Western Marxism from 1920 to 1975. The theoretical production of each of these thinkers is related simultaneously to the practical fate of working-class struggles and to the cultural mutations of bourgeois thought in their time. The philosophical antecedents of the various school within this tradition - Lukácsian, Gramscian, Frankfurt, Sartrean, Althusserian and Della Volpean - are compared, and the specific innovations of their respective systems surveyed. The structural unity of 'Western Marxism', beyond the diversity of its individual thinkers, is then assessed, in a balance-sheet that contrasts its heritage with the tradition of 'classical' Marxism that preceded it, and with the commanding problems which will confront any historical materialism to succeed it.

Australian Tech Company SkyFii Is About To Launch A Back Door Listing Onto The ASX

Another Australian tech company is about to list on the stock exchange through the back door.
Retail startup SkyFii is looking to raise $3.5 million at the minimum issue price of 20 cents a share as it lists through RKS Consolidated later next month.
"SkyFii was actually approached by the shell as a means of taking the company public. It conducted its own due diligence on the shell and also the other options available to it to raise growth capital at the time," a company spokesperson said.
The majority of the funds will be used for business growth and development. A company spokesperson told Business Insider the purpose of the raise was not to build or validate the business model and technology, but to advance R&D, hire more staff and expand internationally.
The company uses data to drive sales and customer loyalty in retail spaces. It captures and analyses customer behaviour and feeds the insights back to retailers enabling them to deliver real-time, targeted content and offers.
SkyFii is looking to roll out its hyper-local advertising tech across shopping centres, and major venues including sporting arenas and transport hubs. It's already working with some big companies to deliver guest Wi-Fi and analytics at a couple of Australian shopping centres.
The company said it has a strong pipeline of both existing and potential clients. Its business model is based around a land grab to secure contracts with all major retail property groups and then progressively roll-out their data capturing and analysing platform centre-by-centre.
SkyFii also has a presence in Indonesia, South Africa and Brazil.
Its investor list also includes WIN television owner Bruce Gordon and the White Family Office which is involved in the Ray White real estate franchise.

Graduate students present winning poetry, prose at final Creative Writing reading of the year
Coleman Numbers, Senior Staff Writer

On Monday, six graduate students in the English MFA program read their original work, constituting the final offering of UT's Creative Writing lecture series.
The young poets and prose writers were selected as winners of UT's John C. Hodges Graduate Writing Prize. Much of the verse and fiction of the night were extracted from the winning selections.
In fiction, Sam Edmonds, graduate student in creative writing, won first place; Ben DeHaven, graduate student in creative writing, won second; and Shane Stricker, graduate student in English, won third.
In poetry, Katie Condon, graduate student in English, won first place; Ian Hall, graduate student in creative writing, placed second; and Chloe Hanson, graduate student studying poetry, placed third.
The judge for fiction was Ted Thompson, author of "The Land of Steady Habits" and a former fellow at the Iowa Writer's Workshop.
Selected works tackled a range of themes, emotions and motifs. Hall's rugged, plain-spoken lyricism, for example, addressed the universality of weariness by assuming the guise of Appalachian idiom.
Edmonds' tale of a recent divorcee yearning for connection in an optometrist's office probed the delicate interstice between religion, loneliness and intimacy.
The judge for poetry was Keetje Kuipers, author of "All Its Charms," teacher at Hugo House in Seattle and editor of "Poetry Northwest."
The John C. Hodges Graduate Writing Contest is held annually. The contest is open to all graduate students at UT.
Christopher Hebert, professor of fiction writing, explained the criteria for selecting judges.
"We try to find well-regarded, published writers. We look for people outside of UT because we want people who don't know the students and aren't familiar with the work," Hebert said.
The selection of new judges each year, as well as the anonymization of the submission process, ensures that each writer has an equal chance to have their work recognized for excellence.
Hall is very grateful for this chance and not merely for the sake of accolades.
"It's a wonderful thing that the university funds," Hall said. "It can be really helpful, especially (in terms of money; we're grad students—we've got 'wheezing pockets' as they say."
First place winners were awarded $500, second place $300 and third place $100.
Hall, who also was selected as a winner last year, admitted that he had no cohesive theme in mind when selecting the poetry that he submitted.
"It's sort of an amalgam; some of the poems are older … I wanted to do some old, some new; whatever felt impressionistically correct," Hall said.
Even so, Hall acknowledged the underlying presence of Appalachia as a setting and character in his work.
"Place is always sort of the crux of what I'm hoping to do … using the lens of Appalachia to grapple with or contextual universal themes," Hall said.
Ellen Orner, a classmate of the winners and a communications specialist in the School of Art, was happy to hear the fictional pieces and poems.
"I think it's really great for them to have this kind of space … it makes the audience hear them differently: you get to imagine them in a more professional context," Orner said.
Many of the winners have already published fiction or poetry in various journals and reviews; first place poetry winner Condon pulled many of her readings for the night from her upcoming book of poetry, "Praying Naked."
Published or unpublished, the poetry and prose of the readers in Strong Hall were met with applause.

De Kammenstraat is een winkelstraat in de binnenstad van Antwerpen. Ze ligt vlakbij de Groenplaats tussen de Oudaan en de Nationalestraat.

Geschiedenis
Deze straat bestaat al van de 12° eeuw als de Cammerstrate en was de locatie voor brouwers en drukkerijen.
In het Oud Vlaams is een Camme een brouwerij en een cammer een brouwer.
In 1554 werden de brouwers door het stadsbestuur verplicht te verhuizen naar de gronden van het project Nieuwstad van Gilbert van Schoonbeke. Deze bevonden zich tussen de 3 vlieten waaronder de Brouwersvliet en de noordelijke stadsomwalling.

Toelichting

Vroeger werd de Cammerstraat gebruikt als een straat voor brouwersverkeer. Dit veranderde omdat de straat te smal werd. De brouwers zijn toen naar het Mechelseplein verhuisd omdat ze daar meer open ruimte hadden om zich te ontwikkelen.

Na het vertrek van de brouwers werd de Cammerstraat een winkelstraat. Tegenwoordig kan men in de Kammenstraat meer dan veertig verschillende winkels vinden, van bekende ketens tot minder bekende winkels.

Er is niet veel autoverkeer, mede doordat deze straat een eenrichtingsstraat is. Als handelaar kan je in de Kammenstraat lid worden van de Kammenstraat United. Dit is een handelaarsvereniging die geregeld overlegt met het Antwerps stadsbestuur over bijvoorbeeld de kerstdecoratie en -verlichting.

De Kammenstraat maakt naast de Schuttershofstraat en de Oudaan deel uit van de modewandeling door Antwerpen. In de Kammenstraat ontstond in 1998 het muziekfestival Laundry day. Sinds 2005 vindt dit plaats op Nieuw-Zuid.

In deze straat ligt de Sint-Augustinuskerk die sinds 2006 de vaste stek is van de vzw AMUZ.

Op 27 juli 2016 daagden op initiatief van Unizo een duizendtal Pokémon GOspelers op voor een Pokémon Hunt in de Antwerpse Kammenstraat

Undefeated Tiz the Law tops Kentucky Jockey Club
Nov 27, 2019 Churchill Downs Communications
Sackatoga Stables' undefeated Grade I winner Tiz the Law will lead a field of nine promising 2-year-olds entered in Saturday's $300,000 Kentucky Jockey Club (GII) – the co-featured event on Saturday's penultimate day of racing at the 2019 Fall Meet at Churchill Downs .
Billed as "Stars of Tomorrow II," each of the 12 races on Saturday's card are exclusively for 2-year-olds that may have aspirations of trail-blazing their way to next spring's Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (GI) and Longines Kentucky Oaks (GI).
The Kentucky Jockey Club – a "Prep Season" race on the "Road to the Kentucky Derby" in which the Top 4 finishers will receive 10-4-2-1 points, respectively – goes as Race 11 at 5:56 p.m. (all times Eastern). First post is 1 p.m. The co-featured $300,000 Golden Rod (GII) for fillies is Race 9 at 4:57 p.m.
Tiz the Law, trained by veteran horseman Barclay Tagg, rallied from off the pace to score a four-length victory in the $500,000 Champagne (GI) nearly two months ago at Belmont Park. The son of Constitution arrived at Churchill Downs on Monday afternoon and made his first appearance on the track Wednesday for a light jog and schooled at the starting gate.
"He surprises us every day with what he has," Tagg said. "It's what we look for and hope for."
Tiz the Law galloped 1 1/2 miles Thursday morning at Churchill Downs with exercise rider Heather Smullen aboard, the niece of Tagg's longtime assistant trainer Robin Smullen.
"He's got a good way about him," Tagg said. "He's interested in many things in his life but he doesn't act silly. He's all business on the racetrack."
Tiz the Law has the same connections as 2003 Kentucky Derby (GI) Funny Cide. Sackatoga Stable, a partnership group primarily based on the East Coast, is scheduled to have a large presence at Churchill Downs on Saturday with more than 50 people making the journey from New York, according to managing partner Jack Knowlton.
"We rarely buy anything but New York breds," Knowlton said. "This was a very different situation purchasing him than it was for Funny Cide – not to mention this horse is a colt and not a gelding. We're still a very small operation but we have big dreams like everyone else."
The son of Constitution will attempt to become the first New York-bred horse to win the Kentucky Jockey Club since Eugene Klein's Notebook won the 1 1/16-mile race in 1987.
Manny Franco will make the journey from his current base at Aqueduct for Saturday's Kentucky Jockey Club. The duo will break from post position No. 3.
One of the main rivals to Tiz the Law in the Kentucky Jockey Club is Sagamore Farm's $123,800 Street Sense winner South Bend, who will make his first start at a route of ground. Trained by Stan Hough, South Bend won at first asking on Sept. 14 at Churchill Downs after he rallied from more than eight lengths off the early pace to narrowly defeat highly-regarded colt Answer In. The bay colt by Algorithms won his next two starts, which included a first-level allowance win by a neck at Keeneland and a one-length score in the Street Sense, the local prep race for the Kentucky Jockey Club.
"He appears to be growing up and maturing," Hough said.
South Bend will once again be ridden by Julien Leparoux from post 4.
Other entrants in the Kentucky Jockey Club include Walking L Thoroughbreds' Street Sense runner-up Fighting Seabee and Ed and Susie Orr's Street Sense third-place finisher Silver Prospector .
The complete field for the Kentucky Jockey Club from the rail out (with jockey and trainer): Enforceable (Florent Geroux, Mark Casse); Fighting Seabee (Brian Hernandez Jr., Kenny McPeek); Tiz the Law (Franco, Tagg); South Bend (Leparoux, Hough); Silver Prospector (Ricardo Santana Jr., Steve Asmussen); Finnick the Fierce (Sonny Leon, Rey Hernandez); New Eagle (Channing Hill, Mike Maker); Two Last Words (Jose Riquelme, Tim Glyshaw); and Shotski (Sheldon Russell, Jerry O'Dwyer).
All horses will tote 122 pounds.
Inaugurated in 2005, the Stars of Tomorrow programs at Churchill Downs have helped launch the careers of more than 50 future Grade 1 winners including: Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver; Horse of the Year and Breeders' Cup Classic winner Gun Runner; 2011 Preakness and 2012 Met Mile and Clark winner Shackleford and Kentucky Oaks winners Rachel Alexandra, Believe You Can and Monomoy Girl.

Finally! Nikon reveals something about the existence and launch of the Mirrorless camera. Keeping an end to the rumors, the Nikon manager confirms the launch of the Nikon mirrorless camera probably by Spring 2019. Since 2017, this is the first official news from Nikon about the Nikon mirrorless camera launch date UAE. So, we can expect this innovative camera to make its presence by June 2019.
Apart from the approximate launch date, the company did not specify any details regarding its specs and features. However, the rumors claim the mirrorless camera to have a new lens mount called Z-mount that features an external diameter of 49mm. Moreover, in one public statement, the Nikon director stated that the Nikon mirrorless camera will have a full frame sensor. Probably, the camera will have a 30MP or more phase detection sensor.
Furthermore, the patent information suggests that Nikon is in works on their own BSI technology that make it compete with the Sony mirrorless camera. It is speculated that it will be similar to the Nikon D850 sensor with an added mirrorless camera system. Whilst the news is quite exciting, it is quite unclear of what the upcoming mirrorless camera will bring in.
It is not only Nikon that is in plans to launch the mirrorless camera, even Sony and Canon has a lineup of the mirrorless camera this year. Reports further state that Canon is in a testing phase for the latest full-frame mirrorless camera. It is good to know that almost all the camera manufacturers are looking to have a transition from the DSLR camera to the advanced mirrorless camera system.

Welcome to the Chippendales: What true story is the Disney+ series inspired by?
Welcome to Chippendales It's coming to Disney+ and this new series has something for everyone. fans magic mike lovers of news and news will be pleased to find the sulphurous atmosphere of clubs where male stripping is king. real crime will have the opportunity to discover an incredible true story worthy of a great thriller. Striptease, disco balls, trickery and murder: SFR News reveals what really went on behind the scenes and on the fringes of the creation of the first Chippendales shows!
Long before Channing Tatum hit the screen magic mike, there were Chippendales. The word, which has become colloquial when referring to the strip, reflects men, but was originally the name of a troupe of dancers created by a long-toothed entrepreneur who lives the American dream no matter what. It is this story that deserves its best episodes Let the accused enterWhat does the series say? Welcome to Chippendales, available on Disney+ starting this Wednesday, January 11. Want to discover facts that inspire fiction? Fasten your seat belts, pull up your suspenders and get comfy as we take you on an eventful journey into the world of men's dressing.
Over 8 episodes, Welcome to Chippendales It tells how businessman Steve Banerjee created the first strip club for women in the 1980s and how he fell into hell after success. The story of an American dream turned into a nightmare when rhinestones and glitter give way to low blows and suspicious deaths pile up.
Somen "Steve" Banerjee: a guy who wants it
Born in Bombay in 1946, Somen Banerjee left India in the late 1960s to try her luck in the United States. Somen is now called "Steve" and has only one goal: to become a rich man at any cost. He moved to Los Angeles, where he started by managing a gas station, then went serious, entering the nightlife world with a bankrupt disco he turned into a strip club. At first, it was women's wrestling shows in the mud organized by Steve in his club, which did not have much success. It was in 1979 that our man finally came up with a bright idea that would save his treasure: he found a troupe of strippers and organized parties reserved for women. At that time, such a thing was unheard of, and every performance was sold out in the small nightclub. It should be noted that Steve Banerjee did not come up with this concept alone. Promoter Paul Snyder, a pimp in his spare time, gave him the idea. vice historian Natalia Petrzela:
"Paul Snyder saw men doing striptease at a gay club and thought it would be fun for women to do the same. He pitched the concept to Banerjee and that's how it all started."
First, Steve asks Paul to choreograph numbers for the newly christened Chippendales troupe. However, the collaboration between the two men will be short-lived. On August 14, 1980, Paul Snyder killed his wife, playmate Dorothy Stratten, before killing himself.
To perform it, Steve hires famous choreographer Nick De Noya, who elevates the shows and brings a real artistic touch to what was until then only a strip. The public loves it, the press praises the show, and the money flows. So everything might be going for the best, but the tide is going bad between Steve and his new partner. The two men constantly argue and disagree about the artistic dimension of the project. In 1984, Nick moved to New York, where he created his own Chippendales show with another troupe, donating half of the proceeds to Steve to use the name.
Nick's show is a real success and soon turns into a tour: the Chippendales Universal Tour. And if this tour brings Steve a lot of money without caring about it, it also feeds the jealousy that the businessman begins to feed towards the horegaf…
Rififi in the night world
Nick De Noia's Chippendales exploded the popularity of the concept Steve started. The show became a cultural phenomenon that the media went crazy for, and Nick was invited to the shows to talk about it. His face and name are now so associated with fashion shows that he is given a social nickname "Mr. Chippendales". A popularity that Steve doesn't like, his jealousy of Nick gradually turns into pure and hard hatred. Steve Banerjee, in particular, faces many problems: he is suspected of burning down a rival nightclub and loses a racial discrimination lawsuit after refusing to enter a black student's establishment.
An increasingly isolated Steve is now convinced that Nick isn't really giving him 50% of the revenue from his shows and is stealing from him. Steve then hires former police officer Ray Colon and asks him to help him take Nick down. On April 7, 1987, Nick De Noia was shot and killed while sitting in his office in New York. And for several years this crime will go unpunished.
Steve Banerjee: death in skin
His failure to investigate Nick's murder emboldens Steve, who buys the rights to the Chippendales tour after the choreographer's death and tries to make the success his own. But pride and anger soon lead him back to crime. In 1990, the man decided to call Ray Colon again to eliminate three of his former collaborators: former Chippendales dancer and choreographer Michael Fullington and two other former members of the establishment. It turns out that the trio left the Chippendales to strike out on their own, forming a rival troupe called Adonis: The Men of Hollywood. You'll understand: Steve Banerjee has a bit of a hard time accepting the competition.
He who believes that he will get it, gets it
At Steve's behest, Ray Colon hires a contract killer to deal with the three dissident Chippendales. But it's reporting to the FBI instead of execution. After being arrested, the ex-cop agrees to help the FBI entrap Steve Banerjee by recording his confession without his knowledge. In September 1993, he was accused of hiring Colon to assassinate Chippendales creator Nick De Noia and plotting to kill three former dancers. Steve Banerjee pleaded guilty, but committed suicide in his cell on October 23, 1994, hours before the sentencing.
Epilogue and Legacy of the Chippendales
The Chippendales license is no longer owned by the Banerjee family and has survived the scandals that hampered its rise. Today, the troupe continues to perform in Las Vegas on tour or during residencies. In 2020, Steve's son Christian Banerjee launched his own male strip show and formed a new troupe: Strippendales. "My father was guilty of the 'Chippendales' case, now I'm stripping naked to make money. (…) It was my destiny"he said New York Post. I wish him success this time without losing anyone's life.

Q: oembed link filled with 'undefined' Using the following javascript/jquery code:
$embedDiv.oembed(url,{  //url is the actual url of the embedded media
    allowedProviders: ["flickr", "youtube", "vimeo"],
    embedMethod: "fill",
    maxWidth: frmWidth,
    maxHeight: frmHeight,
    afterEmbed: function(oembedData) {
        $flagText.val("1");
        $url.removeData('thumbnail_url');
    },
    onProviderNotFound: function(oembedData){
        $embedDiv.html("");
    }
});

I'm getting the following output on my page:

At least, if the media url in question is good. If it uses a bad url, which nevertheless resolves to something (such as a link to media which is protected by some authentication scheme), then I'll get something like:

  undefined

Now, I don't mind the anchor tag being there, but the undefined is highly undesirable, since it displays instead of the media. By putting a watch expression on the div, I can clearly see that the callback into oembed is doing this. I'm looking for a way to prevent the oembed from placing this text in the anchor tag, or from placing the anchor tag in the first place.
Note that simply going back later and removing it fails to work: because it's an asyncronous callback I have no way knowing when this will be called. I can only avoid it or somehow hide it.

A: TLDR: Providers cannot be trusted to provide good oembedData back.
It seems that this is a bug in the oembed code not checking for null values in data returned by providers:
$.fn.oembed.getGenericCode = function(url, oembedData) {
     var title = (oembedData.title !== null) ? oembedData.title : url,
         code = '' + title + '';
     if (oembedData.html) code += "
" + oembedData.html + "
";
     return code;
}

I have submitted a fix:
var title = ((oembedData.title) && (oembedData.title !== null)) ? oembedData.title : url,

Meet Jordan and Sam! They are one of our July 2012 couples getting married at the beautiful Garden Court Hotel in Palo Alto.
We planned their engagement shoot for Golden Gate Park but it happened to be the same day as Bay to Breakers so we decided to head down to Half Moon Bay to dodge the crowd and I am so glad we did! I drive thru Half Moon Bay a lot and I am always scooping out fun places that would be great for photo shoots. Jordan and Sam were up for the challenge of trekking through weeds and pulling off the highway at least 5 times… but I would say it was definitely worth it!
Their engagement shoot also happened to fall on the same night as the eclipse! We were finishing up as the moon came in front of the sun and gave the sky a strange blue haze! We didn't realize until after we were done what was happening… very cool evening!
Enjoy their session, cant wait for your big day!


Living Life On Purpose is not always easy. We're sometimes so bogged down by what we have to do that we forget to look at what we love to do.
Because passion and purpose go hand in hand, we want to continually pursue and identify what excites us. Several times a week, consider going on a "passion quest." Try something that interests you — perhaps something you've never done, but have always been curious about. Leave the "what if?" behind, and just do it. See if it resonates with your heart. Uncover something new or forgotten about yourself. Don't assume you know everything — play detective for a week, as if you don't know yourself.
Make time for what makes you happy. Use your passion as the sole reason for saying, "No thanks." In other words, when someone asks you to do something, and you don't have an obligation or a desire to do it, make the decision to opt out.
For example, when I was working overseas, I was making great money, but I wasn't really fulfilled. So I turned to my passion and my purpose, which was to inspire other people to do great things. But in order to do that, I had to say "no." I had to take a big risk: quit my job in the middle of an economic recession and follow what really made me happy. This is something I always wanted to do, and for me, this was my next step in life. Some people might think that's crazy, but if you're not living your purpose in life, what are you doing? Are you just another person sitting here and just going through the motions?
Your passions will always lead you to your purpose. Passion is your access to power. So if you want to find out you purpose, ask yourself, "What am I passionate about?" Read about it, write about it, talk to other people about it. If you get excited about it every time, you're passionate about it. If you get tired of it, then it probably wasn't your true passion.
As you discover the answer, you will begin to align yourself with that purpose, and it will begin to manifest what you want in your life. You will not be just going through the motions, confused; you will be living for a reason.

While traveling in Argentina in 2006, TOMS Founder Blake Mycoskie witnessed the hardships faced by children growing up without shoes. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a new pair of shoes for a child in need. One for One® is the philosophy behind the brand, and it has been a difference maker for over a decade.
Author Daniel H. Pink described the company's business model as "expressly built for purpose maximization," whereby Toms is selling both shoes and its ideal. Toms' consumer market are purchasing shoes and also making a purchase that transforms them into benefactors for the company.[37] Another phrase used to try to describe the business model has been "caring capitalism".[38] Part of how Toms has developed this description is by incorporating the giving into its business model before it made a profit, making it as integral to the business model as its revenue generating aspects.[39] Business tycoon and Virgin Group founder Richard Branson wrote of the company's business model in his book Screw Business as Usual, "They look for communities that will benefit most from Toms based on their economic, health and education needs while taking into account local business so as not to create a correlating negative effect." He also commented on Toms' expansion into eyewear in order to help the nearly 300 million people who are visually impaired in developing nations.[40]

I'm bipolar and thought I caused the COVID-19 pandemic
By Rambam Wellness On Nov 8, 2022
A woman has revealed the terrifying psychosis she said she developed that convinced her she was responsible for COVID-19.
Natasha Rea, 33, said she was misdiagnosed with a "mood disorder" at age 14, before being diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 10 years later, in 2013.
Rea, from England, reported feelings of intense emotions, deep periods of depression, anxiety and unpredictable manic episodes — with the latter causing her to hyperfixate on certain things. She said she also suffered physical problems.
"There are days I can't move my legs, and my anxiety affects my bowels," she explained to SWNS, adding sometimes her symptoms were so bad she couldn't "move or get out of bed."
The mom of one said her mania intensified during lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic, and she experienced her first episode of psychosis in March 2020.
Rea said she had suffered from mental health problems since she was a teen, but they intensified considerably after the birth of her son in 2011.

The mom thanked Selena Gomez for talking openly about her diagnosis.
"I thought I'd caused COVID and was responsible for the pandemic," she recalled.
"I had been consumed and worried about the virus and the fact I couldn't go out to get my mom's shopping list."
Rea said she kept hearing a voice saying, "You think you have time," and she spent eight hours in a deserted hospital pacing the corridors.
"I wondered why they were playing the Greatest Showman on repeat and why Graham on reception was cleaning his hands with pink Carex cleanser," she said. "I still don't know if Graham was real or if they were playing the Greatest Showman."
She credited exercise with helping her manage her symptoms.

Rea said she first realized the extent of her illness after having her son in 2011. Her mother suffered a heart attack three months later, and her mental health plummeted.
The creative said she felt like she "couldn't talk to anybody," which culminated in a breakdown on the side of a road.
"I worked 40 to 50 hours a week, and I had the worst intrusive thoughts," she admitted.
"I slammed on the breaks near Toys 'R' Us, got out of the car and just stood there," she recalled. "I just broke down, like, somebody needs to help me."
She broke down on the side of the road after the birth of her son in 2011, begging for help.
Rea went to the doctors, thinking something was physically wrong with her. She said she was eventually referred to a mental health specialist, but had to keep pushing for someone to listen to her.
At the end of 2018, she overdosed and ended up in a hospital. She had also overdosed in 2005, prior to her diagnosis.
Rea wants people to understand that bipolar symptoms aren't the same for everyone. She praised Selena Gomez for candidly discussing her own experiences in her documentary, "My Mind and Me."
"I think it's really important Selena Gomez has come forward to speak about bipolar because she has such a young fan base," she said, adding she's "thankful there is mainstream discussion taking place" showing the condition "isn't simply high and low moods."
Rea is on mood stabilizers to manage her symptoms, although she says it's vital for people to understand there isn't one medication that works for everyone, She credits exercise, diet and her own creativity in helping her manage her symptoms.
Rea — who is the Bipolar UK ambassador — released a book, "Me, Myself and Bipolar Brenda: The Journals of a Happy Soul with a chaotic mind." She says she no longer apologizes for her illness.
"I promised myself I would never apologize ever again for being ill — it is like apologizing for who I am," she said.
"I encourage [my friends] to have open and honest conversations with me."
According to Healthline, psychosis in people with bipolar disorder can happen during manic or depressive episodes, but is more common during episodes of mania.
Psychosis tends to develop slowly over time. It most commonly manifests as a mood congruent — amplifying the mood before a manic or depressive episode — but sometimes as a mood incongruent — contradicting the mood.

As people young and old evolve, considerably do their valuable problems. Specific of an first setbacks to be solved, past during that this time of cave dwellers, was some need to finally stay humid when most of the sun proceeded down. Now, humankind didn't invent fire, but studying how so as to create grill at will, no doubt was a problem who needed handling. You is going to imagine things kinds within experiments ran out on when humans principal tried within order to make your fire.
People perhaps sat all round for millions of hours thinking the situation, and the person must posses tried completly dozens of innovative ideas, before at long last figuring gone that caressing two supports together caused enough rubbing to create a kindle.
Since those that early days, our alterations need to has gotten increasingly beautiful. With every new culture advance comes new hardships. With one new anti-malware that might be cured, one additional mysterious two pops up to transport it's city. Problems could be everywhere, in addition it's your job to actually figure on the internet which versions can getting solved combined with an powerful invention.
However, at this time there are numerous other companies that will probably review a person's invention methods before an incredible invention eclatant application can be in improvement. Or, until an development patent comes with been published. For example, the company Plaid probably will accept development ideas before an arrival patent displays been distributed. The company Plaid might agree to keep your invention decision submission discreet and is designed to not turn to or disclose the creativity idea into any subsequent parties or employees akin to Plaid, many other than all of those Plaid employees who participate in the review about the philosophy submission, unless such disclosure is imperative by law or unless Plaid develops knowledge on the content articles prior to make sure you your disclosure thereof.
The vast web is some great type for information, use the application. People obtain a problem; they blog it directly on the home based. This should be similar to listening to finally people close to you, it just buyers that should be farther away. There could be thousands attached to blogs plus forums where people currently have jumped for the internet and uploaded a solution they usually are having. End up on Google or yahoo and explore for household problems or else something along those boundaries and anyone will surely find a task. Also, exactly as I focus on about later, a big problem when you need to identify is one that causes death; therefore, the program could come to be beneficial regarding search about the web for actions that typically causing a real death price every current year. If owners start at master with the use of these three sources of information for the purpose of identifying problems, then you might will today have because well many diseases to know.

It is indeed part of the problem that Alabama has that they are competing for jobs and investment with the likes of California on terms that are not in their favour.
That probably applies to every entity of sufficient size, say with 1mln people or more.
I presume we'll leave with no deal now.
Will make it easier to rejoin in 2020 when everything has gone to shit and we're offered the Euro at 1:1

Could already be too late for that!
European court to rule on whether article 50 can be reversed
I think that's a good thing, the ruling will provide solid footing. It's just a shame the date of the verdict is unknown.
Apparently they'll have the ruling soon enough. I can't see them ruling in the Remainers that brought this case favour - how can you have countries flip flapping in and out all the time? It's only right that EU should decide whether the Art 50 process can be cancelled or not.
Agreed- there will me no 'cake and eat it' deal- and all but a few extremists are doing everything to stop no deal.

Negotiations to join up will probably take far longer than that.
That is, if the court decides on the basis of what is practical for the EU. If they decide on the basis of what the authors of article 50 actually had in mind, the verdict could be more complicated.

It is actually a two-step process. An advocate general, a senior lawyer knowledgeable in the law, precedence and European legislation will make a preliminary 'recommendation before Christmas. The Court will then review that recommendation and decide. They hope to have the decision before the end of the year. They could agree with the advocate general, which the do in over 80% of the cases, or disagree. Their decision will be binding in all member states, including the UK and is not subject to appeal.
Was sort of a joke. I'll be glad when I can use some good old British humour instead of the ineffective EU whooshings we're forced to at the moment.
Farage going crazy on LBC because the French are no longer taking every care to stop those from the 'jungle' crossing. I think it might get a lot worse after March 2019 ...the EU in general will only be too pleased to help them on their way ...
Has no one told those in the Jungle that Hard Brexit is coming and there won't be drinking water or medicines in the UK?!

UK significantly worse off under all Brexit scenarios - official forecast.
The government and the Bank of England will publish reports on Wednesday that outline the economic costs associated with a range of Brexit scenarios.
The UK economy will be worse off under all of them, UK Treasury chief Philip Hammond told Sky News.
The UK would be significantly worse off under all possible Brexit scenarios in 15 years' time, according to a benchmark economic analysis produced by a range of government departments including the Treasury.
Hi leavers, enjoy!
Seeing they all so desperately want to leave the EU, I assume they will be pro-Brexit when the second referndum comes?

Labour could seize option of second Brexit vote, says McDonnell
Shadow chancellor says remain should be on ballot paper but 'no deal' should not
They'll do ANYTHING if they think it'll mean them getting power. The point remains though that McDonnell and Corbyn hate the EU.
Location: CH
Agreed- there will me no 'cake and eat it' deal- and all but a few extremists are doing everything to stop no deal. Corbyn is a total idiot to keep selling a unicorn better deal to his membership. Very dangerous and silly game.
So what will it be- this bad deal, or Remain? Anything could happen - and you all know what I wish for
All I can see it's people in their fifties and sixties (Corbyn is 69, May is 62, Cameron 52, Farage 54), and I really mean no offence, are deciding on the future of the next generations who might want something totally different in say 10 years from now on. Do they have any idea how different these new generations are? I wouldn't be surprised if younger generations were much more open to the idea of Europe and not so much to the idealised glory of the old empire.
