A Look at the Senate's Bipartisan Plan for Immigration Reform
On: March 9, 2013
By Artur Radetskiy
A group of eight United States senators, four Democrats and four Republicans, including New York's own Chuck Schumer (D), has revealed a plan of four pillars designed to reform the U.S. immigration system.
The first pillar simultaneously focuses on illegal immigrants that are already living in the U.S. and the increase of border security. The legislation will increase the number of unmanned aerial vehicles and the amount of surveillance equipment used by Border Patrol as well as increase the number of agents working to secure areas between ports of entry. [1]
This legislation will also make it mandatory for the 11.1 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S. to register with the government. This will allow the government to perform background checks. The immigrants will have to pay fines and back taxes, which are taxes that they would have paid if they were living in the U.S. legally. [1]
A person will be deported if during the background check, the person is found to have a significant criminal background or has committed a serious criminal offense. The individuals who pass the background check and pay the fines and back taxes will be given probationary legal status, allowing them to live and work in the U.S. legally. [1]
Individuals with probationary legal status will then have to "pass an additional background check, pay taxes, learn English and civics, demonstrate a history of work in the United States, and current employment, among other requirements," in order to apply for permanent residence and eventually earn a green card. [1]
Some individuals, however, will not have to meet the same requirements to become permanently legal residents, including minors.
Workers in the U.S. agricultural industry will also go through a different process and have to meet different requirements because they have contributed to the U.S. food supply.
The second pillar of the reform focuses on encouraging "the world's best and brightest" to come to America. The current immigration process makes it difficult for even the most talented immigrants to come to the U.S. This new legislation proposes that immigrants will be given a green card if they have received a P.h.D. or Master's degree from an American university.
The third pillar concentrates on preventing illegal immigrants from working. An employment verification system will be created. A potential employee will have to show their legal status and identity using an electronic verification system prior to being hired. Employers who knowingly hire illegal workers will face fines and criminal penalties. [1]
The fourth pillar aims to protect American jobs and allow immigrants to come to the U.S. when employees are needed. If an employer can show that they have attempted and failed to hire an American worker, then the employer can hire an immigrant. The legislature intends to allow more immigrants into the U.S. when workers are needed and allow fewer immigrants when workers are not needed. [1]
Many praise the plan's increased border security. "We need more security," said Vivian Ye '15. "It's important to be cautious and aware of what's going on outside of this country."
Others believe that the plan does not go far enough to help illegal immigrants living in the U.S. Mary Cao '14 commented, "It is great that there is a bipartisan plan to address this issue, and finally a solution for illegal immigrants in the U.S. However, the period to attain citizenship still seems too long."
As bipartisan reform talks continue, the controversy over changing the already disputed policy will increase in intensity. In a school with a diverse population, with many members of the community having immigrated to the U.S., students are bound to be very opinionated on this topic.

The Life of Bon: Does a blog have a life span?
I feel like my blog has been slightly neglected. I thought I was going to hit this blog so hard in the summer. Just attack it full force. Work on it like crazy, give it all the time and attention it needs to be a growing, healthy blog- one day able to support itself. But you know how summer goes... It's hard to make yourself wake up at 7 am when you could wake up at 9 am instead. It's hard to force yourself to sit down at a computer when your friend is going to the water park, and when your husband is dying to see World War Z. Somehow a day slips by without me putting in the time I wanted and then somehow another and then somehow it's July 8 and I've done the bare minimum on the blog all summer.
I suppose the truth is I feel uninspired... like my blog voice is gone and used up, like I got nothing more to say, like people are tired of the same old same old. Does a blog have a life span? I'm getting close to two years of blogging- is it about time for this baby to just lie down and die? Or will she continue on for years and years? Will I blog about the birth of all my children and the Christmases with my grandchildren and the retirement home I live in when I'm 80? Or is this a "twenty something" year old pastime... soon to be thrown away with my bright lipstick and Taylor Swift cd? It blows my mind that I have readers who have stuck around for months- I can hardly expect them to be around for decades, don't you think?
And do you know what else is weird? I think I am scared of the people I know who read my blog. I'm not scared of the strangers at all. The strangers give me life and energy. Blogging was easier when I had no idea who was out there- when I wrote for blank faces in blank homes. I wrote to the vast universe without any thought of who might read or not read, who might approve or disapprove. It is easier by far to write to a million strangers than to write for ten people whom you know very well. Why is it easier to write to strangers?
Now go ahead and explain THAT for me, will you?
In other new, we've got some winners in the Hiz-ouse!
Kimberly Charlesworth: You won the $50 Target gift card from Living in Yellow and Me.
I will be in touch with you lovely ladies in the morning about getting your prizes.
Here's to a fabulous week!
I agree. I had plans to make my blog the next big thing this summer, and so far... I guess I want to make my summer the next big thing instead? But I love your blog. For my sake, keep going!
I've wondered the same thing: will blogs someday just disappear? Does anyone other than bloggers actually read blogs?
I think it's natural that we have times when blogging isn't as fun or exciting. It's funny, as a teacher....I totally meant to "blog full time" over the summer. Somehow, I'm relaxing full time and blogging part time.
i feel you bonnie - remember the chat we had before we left? and all my big plans? well sometimes life gets in the way - but usually thats great for the blog. if you're blogging life, you have to live before you blog.
I do think blogging about everyday things is very hard for me for the reasons you said. It's weird if the regular people in your life know so much without you even speaking to them about it.
Writing happens in phases... and sometimes they aren't very good ones. I've had blogs for years, and last year I definitely wrote the bare minimum. It's nice to have a place to say what you want, though. Because even if people do read the blog, they still want to hang out with you and have real relationships outside of the internet and that's what counts!
I feel the same way. I've been feeling "blah" about blogging lately.
1) This is why I don't blog every day.
2) This is why I blog anonymously.
I think a blog's life span is as long as the person's attention span.
For instance, I've been blogging on and off for almost a decade now (Seriously, I think winter might be a decade?) I've gone through times where I had a lot to say, where I had not much to say, where I thought I had nothing to say but still wrote, and when I didn't write at all. Now, I write for me because getting the words swirling around in my head out just makes me feel better and think more clearly.
Take a look at why you blog and if you're still enjoying it. No one says you have to do it all the time. One of my favorite blogs posts once, maybe twice a week.
I hear ya about the strangers and people you know reading your blog. If I had no clue who was reading my blog - I would probably have SO MUCH MORE to talk about! But because there are people I know who read it.... shudder. It's scary. Sometimes I feel like I've lost my blogging voice too... but I keep going. Maybe eventually we'll both get them back.
As long as you're blogging hun, I'm reading :) I like that you are an actual writer..its different from a lot of other blogs. So keep doing your thing.
I don't think the blog has a life span as long as you are blogging for you and continue to enjoy it. Although I still kind of find it funny to think about how my pics will change over the years as I age and if I will even want to continue as I get into 50's 60's and beyond. But life doesn't stop just because you get older so why not? I will say that I've been on the fence about letting IRL folks in on the blog but mostly I'm glad that I haven't. How annoying that everyone knows all these things...even though like you said, you did tell them.
Yaay! I've finally won a giveaway. But, to comment on the blog, I've been blogging since November 2009. I didn't start trying to grow my blog until the beginning of this year. So, from 2009-2010/2011, it was me writing for myself and I didn't care who was reading it. I was surprised to have about 20 followers, although I knew everyone of them. Then, when I started dating Justin, it became sort of a journal as well as a newsletter to both families. I'm now trying to balance it as all of those: professional blog, journal, newsletter, and writing just for me. It's a hard balance. I do believe blogs can live on forever as long as the person likes to write, and after getting to know you (which I am so glad we have), but the purpose of the blog can change, and maybe that is what you are experiencing: a transitional stage of purpose for your blog.
I think about that a lot too. I started mine up in 2009 and really got into it in 2010. Have I officially ran out of things to say to the internet?
I think I'll most likely have a blog for quite a while. My guess is that blogging will become less and less important to me over the next couple of years (I've been less committed to it for a year now and I see no reason to return). I'm over most of the blogosphere. The giveaways and the sponsor swaps and the c/o clothes.
I think eventually I will go the way of Busybeelauren's blog. She blogged for YEARS, from like 2006 to 2012, just documenting her life, and then last August, her baby was born and GOMI had a field day and she deleted her blog and created a new, private WordPress one, solely to document her thoughts and pictures from her family. (Isn't that what blogging is supposed to be about anyways? Ha.) I'll probably go private eventually. Who knows. Ha.
Anyways, this is a very long winded post, and really I've said nothing too important, soooo you are welcome for this weirdo little comment. Yup.
you can't just stop this post right there, it wasn't done. I need more... Give me direction Bon! More! What happens to blogs?/??
Yeah, I find that I always ask people if they've read my blog before I start telling a story because I don't want them to have to sit through it twice.
Ok once again my post didn't register..
Firstly: I only just found you - no flannel here - you are my favourite blogger!! Not sure why exactly, you just seem really real.
Don't give up, or throw in the towel - who knows, maybe this blog could be your future full time position?!! That's what I'm aiming for anyhow - need to not be location dependant really. Although any help with getting my stats up and those sponsor slots (very very cheap!) Filled up is so very much appreciated.


Google has just announced its answer to the telepresence robot: the telepresence drone. With the telepresence robot, you have an iPad attach to a stick connected to a wheel that drives around in different meetings giving you the ability to be there when you cannot make it in the office. A major problem with the current telepresence robot is that the robot is unable to go upstairs navigate through unusual floor mazes.
Google telepresence drone is one that includes a frame and propulsion system and its function is to fly indoors from room to room in which the person's face who is doing the telecommuting would be on the iPad.
The bonus to all of this is taking up less space, less energy and provides an experience that would actually be more engaging for office workers. While it is not designed to replace the office environment, the uses of this technology can lead to all sorts of benefits whether it is making rush hour less crowded or medical such as when a surgeon cannot be at a surgery.
The design can be considered as sort of a flying H in which the drone is set up to include a central body defining a longitudinal axis of the frame. The propulsion system may include rotors at opposite end portions of the first and second arms which propel the frame based on an external command.
The best part of Google's patent is the idea of carrying a rotating screen as well as being light in weight. And if that isn't enough, the drone would also have a projection system for beaming images on the wall from the pilot. The unfortunate side is Google is still in the patent phase so do not look for it anytime soon. However, you can read more on the Google patent here. Perhaps best of all, the working design would allow you to control the drone from a smartphone, quite possibly an app.
For those of you may not be able to visualize how the telepresence drone would be work, consider what it is working to replace. MIT has a great example of this robot in action from its YouTube clip.
The robotic industry is still in its infancy. However, the telepresence robot and now possibly the google telepresence drone are the possible the next step in office environments. Considering how the population is growing as well as the complications behind that: parking and commute time, this development can be the next added addition.


Sixty-six years as Queen – For the fainthearted . . .
It is sixty-six years since the death of King George VI in England on 6th February 1952; sixty-six years since the accession of Princess Elizabeth. How has the Queen put up with it for sixty-six years?
I spent ten days at Saint George's House in Windsor Castle in 2007. It was a time filled with a sense of history, a sense of beauty, and a sense of wonder at how someone could live their entire life in public gaze.
Saint George's Chapel, the cathedral-sized place of worship in the castle with its own bishop as dean, is a place steeped in history, tracing itself back to the 13th Century; it is filled with the graves of English monarchs, including the grave of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth and their daughter Princess Margaret. At the time, I wondered if the Queen of England, who was then over 80, stood at the grave of her parents and sister and remembered happier times. I wondered if there was a moment for saying a few words and for shedding a tear, I wondered if she was ever given space and peace and quiet?
I don't understand the relationship of the English with the Royal Family, on the one hand they declare themselves avid supporters of the monarchy; on the other hand, they seize upon every piece of gossip and rumour carried by the tabloid press. If people did not read such stories, the press would very quickly cease to run them, yet the slightest story sparks flurries of excitement on the front pages and on the television and radio news. Does the Queen ever have recourse to the press complaints body, or the broadcasting standards authorities, over the stories that are distortions and the others that are simply lies?
It is confusing, if you respect someone, then you respect their right to privacy and their right to having their own inner life; you can't claim to respect someone if you splash every piece of tittle tattle all over the newspapers.
To have remained in office for sixty-six years must have demanded incredible powers of perseverance. If I had been in the Queen's place, I would have called it a day a long time ago. I would have taken my family money and told the State that they could take what was theirs and I would have gone to live in Paris, where they at least have respect for style.
Sixty-six years, it's some achievement.


Gwenyth Paltrow's beautiful weekly lifestyle magazine, goop, just published a dim sum article that features me as your hostess into this delicious world.
The fine folks at goop also offer some lo-cal recipes for homemade dim sum, and they definitely look good enough to eat.
You will find guides in this article to eating dim sum like a pro, as well as suggestions on some super places to dine, everywhere from here in the Bay Area and all the way to Paris. Check it out.
The latest issue of the culinary world's oldest and certainly finest academic journals, Gastronomica, includes my study on modern dim sum history, a personal pet project I've been working on for, oh, a couple of years.
Modern History as Reflected in a Teahouse Mirror is about the special ways in which contemporary life was echoed in Guangdong's dim sum parlors between 1880 and 1949.
It's strange when you think about it too much, but the massive changes in Chinese society nevertheless became ensconced in these dainty morsels, making a dim sum brunch an excellent opportunity not only to dine exceedingly well, but also to understand Guangzhou's fascinating modern history during those seventy tumultuous years.
Plus, you get new dim sum drawings!
And if all that wasn't enough, how about actually sitting down and having dim sum with me and a bunch of other food lovers while I natter on about how much I love teahouse snacks?
Join me with some of the more illustrious members of the San Francisco branch of Les Dames d'Escoffier for a dim sum luncheon on Saturday, May 6, 2017, from 12:30 to 3:30 at Peony Seafood Restaurant in Oakland Chinatown.
This is a celebration and fundraiser for the LDEI Karola Saekel Craib Excellence in Food Journalism awards. I will be in conversation with the lovely and talented Sarah Fritsche of the San Francisco Chronicle, and I'll also lead you through a delightful luncheon featuring fine teas and a wide range of savory and sweet dim sum treats.
You want a tea master? We have a tea master. You want live zither music? We've got you covered. You want to meet some of the fine people who are present and past awardees of this honor? Look no further. I'll even give you a free, very hip, and totally temporary dim sum tattoo. I mean, this will be Christmas in May.
The party is open to everyone, not just Les Dames members, so check out this link for tickets and more information.

Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi state investor Mubadala Investment Co. has invested $100 billion in the US, more than 40 percent of its roughly $240 billion portfolio, Deputy CEO Waleed Al-Muhairi said on Tuesday.
"What that tells you is that from our perspective the risk reward equation works in the US," he said at the SALT conference in Abu Dhabi, adding that most of the investments are direct, with a small portion indirectly invested through funds.
He said the remaining part of the portfolio is almost equally split between three regions — the UAE, Europe and Asia.
Muhairi said Mubadala has invested $2 billion in China in 15-16 sectors from its $10 billion UAE China fund and could step up investments in the mainland.
"China is the UAE's largest trading partner, it is an important economic relationship for us," he said.
Mubadala would want to participate in some "shape, way or form" in the growth of China, which could become the largest economy in the world, Muhairi said.
Technology is a focus for Mubadala, he added.
Mubadala has invested $15 billion in Softbank's Vision Fund I and recently announced plans to invest $250 million through two funds in technology firms in the Middle East and North Africa.

Trade truce boosts China's hopes after weakest growth in 29 years
US deal revives business confidence with latest data showing surprise acceleration in industrial output and investment
BEIJING: China's economic growth cooled to its weakest in nearly 30 years in 2019 amid a bruising trade war with the US, and more stimulus is expected this year as Beijing tries to boost sluggish investment and demand.
But data on Friday also showed the world's second-largest economy ended the rough year on a somewhat firmer note as a trade truce revived business confidence and earlier growth boosting measures finally appeared to be taking hold.
As expected, China's growth slowed to 6.1 percent last year, from 6.6 percent in 2018, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed. Though still strong by global standards, and within the government's target range, it was the weakest expansion since 1990.
This year is crucial for the ruling Communist Party to fulfill its goal of doubling gross domestic product (GDP) and incomes in the decade to 2020, and turning China into a "moderately prosperous" nation.
Analysts believe that long-term target would need growth this year to remain around 6 percent, though top officials have warned the economy may face even greater pressure than in 2019.
More recent data, along with optimism over a Phase 1 US-China trade deal signed on Wednesday, have raised hopes that the economy may be bottoming out.
Fourth-quarter GDP rose 6 percent from a year earlier, steadying from the third quarter, though still the weakest in nearly three decades. And December industrial output, investment and retail sales all rose more than expected after an improved showing in November.
Policy sources have told Reuters that Beijing plans to set a lower growth target of around 6 percent this year from last year's 6-6.5 percent, relying on increased infrastructure spending to ward off a sharper slowdown. Key targets are due to be announced in March.
On a quarterly basis, the economy grew 1.5 percent in October-December, also the same pace as the previous three months.
"We expect China's growth rate will come further down to below 6 percent" in the coming year, said Masaaki Kanno, chief economist at Sony Financial Holdings in Tokyo.
"The Chinese economy is unlikely to fall abruptly because of ... government policies, but at the same time the trend of a further slowdown of the economy will remain unchanged."
December data released along with GDP showed a surprising acceleration in industrial output and a more modest pick-up in investment growth, while retail sales were solid.
Industrial output grew by 6.9 percent from a year earlier, the strongest pace in nine months, while retail sales rose 8 percent. Fixed-asset investment rose
5.4 percent for the full year, but growth had plumbed record lows in autumn.
Easing trade tensions have made manufacturers more optimistic about the business outlook, analysts said, though many of the tit-for-tat tariffs both sides imposed during the trade war remain in place.
"Despite the recent uptick in activity, we think it is premature to call the bottom of the current economic cycle," Julian
Evans-Pritchard and Martin Rasmussen at Capital Economics said in a note.
"External headwinds should ease further in the coming quarters thanks to the 'Phase One' trade deal and a recovery in global growth. But we think this will be offset by a renewed slowdown in domestic demand, triggering further monetary easing by the People's Bank."
Among other key risks this year, infrastructure — a key part of Beijing's stabilization strategy — has remained stubbornly weak.
Infrastructure investment grew just 3.8 percent in 2019, decelerating from 4 percent in January-November, despite sharply higher local government bond issuance and other policy measures.
"This shows that local governments continued to face funding constraints," said Tommy Xie, China economist at OCBC Bank in Singapore.
Some analysts are also worried about signs of cooling in
the housing market, a key economic driver.
Property investment growth hit a two-year low in December even as it grew at a solid 9.9 percent pace in 2019. Property sales fell 0.1 percent, the first annual decline in five years.
Beijing has worked for years to keep speculation and home price rises in check, and officials vowed last year they would not use the property market as a form of short-term stimulus.
China will roll out more support measures this year as the economy faces further pressure, Ning Jizhe, head of the Statistical bureau told a news conference.
Ning noted that per capital GDP in China had surpassed $10,000 for the first time last year. But analysts believe more painful reforms are needed to generate additional growth.
Beijing has been relying on a mix of fiscal and monetary steps to weather the current downturn, cutting taxes and allowing local governments to sell huge amounts of bonds to fund infrastructure projects.
Banks also have been encouraged to lend more, especially to small firms, with new yuan loans hitting a record 16.81 trillion yuan ($2.44 trillion) in 2019.
The central bank has cut banks' reserve requirement ratios (RRR) — the amount of cash that banks must hold as reserves — eight times since early 2018, most recently this month. China has also seen modest cuts in some lending rates.
Analysts polled by Reuters expect further cuts in both RRR and key interest rates this year.
But Chinese leaders have repeatedly pledged they will not embark on massive stimulus like that during the 2008-09 global crisis, which quickly juiced growth rates but left a mountain of debt.
Containing financial system risks will remain a high priority for policymakers this year. Corporate bond defaults hit a new record last year, while state-linked firms had to step in to rescue several troubled smaller banks.
Even with additional stimulus and assuming the trade truce holds, economists polled by Reuters expect China's growth will cool this year to 5.9 percent.

When I added up how long I have known Rachel and Casey, I was left feeling a little old....over 15 years, wow! We all went to the same teeny tiny high school. I was excited to meet them at their Kentucky farm for their maternity pictures. It's nice to catch up with people I haven't seen in years. Rachel, with her cute little baby bump, was such a trooper baring the cold long enough for me to get some of my favorite maternity pictures to date, thanks girl. I am excited to meet their little one next month!


As soon as someone clicks on a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ad on your page they are instantly transported to the page you specified when placing the ad. This page is usually known as the 'Landing Page'.
Landing pages for PPC need to have several elements in place, more so if you're using Google AdWords to send traffic as Google has strict quality control measures which are increasing all the time.
Google Adwords has a bot which will crawl landing pages and gather vital information. They use the information they gather to assign that landing page a quality score. If the quality score is too low, then the minimum bid for the keywords that get a lower score will be much higher. Sometimes this can add up to several dollars more per keyword!
When you make your landing pages, there are several things which you can do so that you have the best possible chance of getting a good quality score.
The first thing you should do is make sure you have the keywords you've chosen for your campaign somewhere on the landing page. Google wants to be certain your keywords are relevant, so they want to see the keywords you choose on the landing page you're sending traffic to.
You should also try to avoid sending AdWords traffic to a landing page with no linked content. Google often likes to send traffic to full sites and not just landing pages. You'll get a higher quality score if you have several other pages linked from the landing page. These could be articles, product pages, reviews, editorial, links pages, or any other page that is appropriate for such a landing page. Remember, Google looks kindly on relevancy, so it is important to keep things themed properly to the niche you are targeting.
Your landing pages themselves should also have some content. You are unlikely to get a good quality score if your web page only has a single link to a sponsor or an opt-in box. Including even just a handful of relevant body copy will help to ensure you don't get penalized for not having sufficient content. Remember relevancy. Keep the text related to the niche you are wanting to target, and try to include as many of the keywords you're targeting as possible.
To summarize, try to make sure that you are sending people from the PPC ad to a genuine page on a genuine site. If you can honestly say that the landing page would pass the test of a real human from Google approving it then the chances are that any automated bot is likely to approve of it too.


If a family business can look back on a history of more than two and a half centuries, it must have done quite a bit right.
Over a period extending from the Age of Enlightenment, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars through the German Biedermeier period, the Revolutions of 1848, the Industrial Revolution, World War I and II up to the present age of dynamic globalisation, the company has asserted itself as a successful weaving mill.
The story of Gebrüder Colsman is the history of the textile industry – from its origins in craftsmanship to global industrialisation. More than once in its history, Gebrüder Colsman has had to reinvent itself and find innovative new paths to pursue. Innovation through tradition.
Much, however, has remained the same throughout the ages: the care that Gebrüder Colsman takes to ensure high quality and the dedication with which the company satisfies the wishes of its clients, combined with the foresight with which Gebrüder Colsman earns the loyalty of both customers and employees and takes the right decisions at the right time.

Over the last few years, as the lean startup methodology gained traction amongst the Silicon Valley and startup types, an interesting idea that runs contrary to how things have been done in the past took root — because the lean startup methodology encourages founders to quickly iterate and seek feedback, the implied assumption is that keeping secrets are bad. The lean startup methodology's argument against keeping secrets is one that makes rational sense: the last thing founders should do is burn tons on capital on a product they're building in a dark when they don't even know if people are going to use it or not.
Because of the rise of Twitter, Reddit and platforms like those on the Internet, it's now much easier than ever to solicit feedback, the thinking goes, so why not take advantage of it and seek feedback for whatever you're working on?
Likewise, in recent years, the Valley and the startup community at wide has rallied against the idea of making others sign a non-disclosure agreement before sharing their ideas. This is a good thing. But I think the Valley at wide has tipped the scales too much on the side of transparency. When the scales are tipped too much on the side of transparency, founders are less likely to try radical experiments — indeed, ones that often make a much more significant impact in the world if and when successful than an idea based on a cycle of rapid but marginal iteration.
Before I go into defending secrecy (or at least, reclaim some semblance of a balance between secrecy and transparency), there are a few bad reasons why founders shouldn't opt for secrecy over transparency: fear that someone will steal your idea, fear that someone else will beat you to the punch, fear that someone will patent your idea, etc. If you opt for secrecy because of these reasons, you're putting yourself — and your company — at a disadvantage.
But there's one scenario where secrecy should triumph transparency: if and when it allows you to run experiments you otherwise would feel uncomfortable, or embarrassed to tell people about. With any experiment, there is — or should have — a 50% chance of failing. Such failures tend to hurt the company's image and reputation, and give an opening to the press to mock them, investors an excuse to pass on an investment, clients a reason to choose a competitor, etc. Therefore, a company, being fearful of these pitfalls, choose to do what is safe, and not experiment — but unknowingly, initiate their decline into irrelevance and obscurity. This is where secrecy can give founders and companies the room to experiment, without having to be accountable to those who are not immediately associated with the project.
For many, the fear of reputational damage is enough to err on the side of secrecy. Look at Amazon: the Fire smartphone was a very public and humiliating failure, one that Jeff Bezos was interrogated for in the press, on earning calls and on stages in conferences (a little inquisition, if you will). However, the Echo was a smashing success — and Amazon did the entire project in secret, spanning 1,500 employees over years of labor. Look at Apple: there's a reason why (beyond showmanship) Apple guards its secrets zealously. For every iPhone or iPad that gets released, one can safely assume that there were a thousand failures that never made it out of the lab. Not making those failures public means not having to be accountable for them to irrelevant observers — thus speeding the learning and moving on process up much faster.
There's another compelling reason why startups should try to keep their experiments secret, even after they release it: it helps them skip past the early-tech adopters crowd and get direct, honest feedback from other people (normal; lives outside of Silicon Valley) who would make up the bulk of their customer base. Furthermore, not knowing the identity of someone behind a product you're using (this is different from the D2C e-commerce business model where such established relationships are advantageous; this works best for software products) allows you to provide more honest and crucial feedback — given how quick many startups are given birth to and dies, such feedback can often mean the difference between life and death ("talk to your users" is, after all, one of Y Combinator's motto).
Ultimately, the purpose of a startup is to do more, with much less resources than would be normally available to achieve such results. The easiest way to do so would be to experiment radically (thus allowing the learning to happen non-linearly)— allowing one successful experiment (out of many embarrassing and failed ones) to contribute an outsized impact to the goal and mission of the startup. Startups — and the founders that lead them — can't fulfill this mandate if they feel compelled to announce what they're trying all the time, and have to answer for them. Many of these experiments will fail, but that shouldn't stop founders from experimenting. A company that stops doing radical things — out of fear of being held unnecessarily accountable — is one that is already on the decline, even if they don't know it yet. And that is why secrecy is okay.
TL;DR: Secrecy allows you to fail quickly and learn from those failures without having to go through a parade of shame and humiliation. That is necessary to produce outsized returns.

Musician, scholar, and leading arts director Huib Schippers brings his wealth of experience to UCLA when he delivers the UC Regents' Lecture as part of his Fall 2022 appointment as Regents' Professor in the ethnomusicology department of The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.
The lecture, titled "Sound Futures: Why Some Music Practices Thrive, Many Struggle, and Others Disappear," will be held on Monday, November 7 at 1:30 p.m. in Schoenberg Hall, is free and open to the public, and will be livestreamed.
Schippers' question is a vital one for understanding the problems of cultural survival and relevance in the modern world. He is at once laudatory and critical of international efforts to preserve the intangible elements of art music, particularly the 2003 UNESCO Convention on Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, which specifically attempted to preserve such cultural events. Schippers' conception of music as existing within an ecosystem allows for insightful examination of the cultural, political, and social factors that influence musical traditions' survival or failure.
"I will explore how we can work with communities—from Indigenous elders to opera lovers—to ensure their music practices remain vital, and sustainable, on their terms," said Huib Schippers. "I'm looking forward to that."
Having been at the School of Music for a month, Schippers has enjoyed sharing his research on and experience with cultural sustainability, the music industry and music education with eager students, helping them widen their perspectives within and beyond academia.
Schippers enjoys a wealth of experience in the arts world. He ran a record shop in Amsterdam in the 1980s while also working as a music journalist and founding a music specialist magazine. In the 1990s, he was instrumental in opening world music schools in Amsterdam and worked with conservatories in the Netherlands, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom.
From 2003 to 2015, Schippers directed the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre in Brisbane, Australia, and in 2016 he assumed the position of Director and Curator of the celebrated Smithsonian Folkways label.
"Having Huib Schippers here at the department of ethnomusicology as Regents' Professor for Fall 2022 provides a unique opportunity for students to learn from a legendary figure in the world music scene," said Roger Savage, chair of the ethnomusicology department at UCLA. "At home in the recording industry, music journalism, world music education, festival management, and academic administration, Dr. Schippers shows how a passion for the musics of the world can lead to an exciting professional career that engages multiple skill-sets."
A prolific public intellectual, Schippers has written more than 100 articles in scholarly journals and high-profile publications. His 2010 monograph, Facing the Music: Shaping Music Education from a Global Perspective, published by Oxford University Press, challenged its readers to abandon their own cultural biases and relearn music education in a culturally diverse world. Schippers brought his own five-decades of experience in music education to bear on his subject. In the words of one reviewer, "Facing the Music should be required reading for all music educators." A Mandarin version of this book will be published next month.
Schippers' most recent scholarly work examines different global music cultures as ecosystems all their own. His research has been collected in two collected volumes edited by Oxford University Press, Sustainable Futures for Music Cultures (2016) and Music, Communities, and Sustainability: Developing Policies and Practices (2022).
"Faculty are thrilled to welcome Dr. Schippers, whose depth and breadth of knowledge across multiple realms of musical work are unparalleled," said Roger Savage. As part of his appointment, Schippers is teaching classes in The Herb Alpert School of Music, and is conducting individual research and career mentoring to students.
"Having worked with universities and arts organizations around the globe, I was delighted to be invited to take on this prestigious role at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music," said Schippers. "Particularly in the field of ethnomusicology, UCLA has played a leading role for the better part of half a century, and it's a delight to have face-to-face meetings with so many wonderful colleagues—especially after the pandemic—and to work with students and the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive."

Second U.S. appeals court rules Trump cannot end protections for 'Dreamers'
Tom Hals
WILMINGTON, Del (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court ruled on Friday that President Donald Trump cannot end a program that shielded from deportation immigrants brought into the country illegally as children, the second time the administration has lost an appeal on the issue.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, said in its ruling that the 2017 rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program violated administrative law because the policy change was not adequately explained.
The ruling reversed a decision by a federal court in Maryland, and sent the case back for further proceedings.
The Department of Justice declined to comment.
Republican Trump's Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama, began DACA in 2012. It shielded a group of immigrants known as "Dreamers" and has given them work permits but not a path to citizenship. About 800,000 people, mostly Hispanics, have received DACA protection.
Trump has taken a stern stance against illegal immigration. His administration announced plans in September 2017 to phase out DACA, arguing that Obama exceeded his constitutional powers when he bypassed Congress and created the program.
Rights groups, states and individuals filed numerous lawsuits against the Trump administration over the decision to end the program. A series of lower courts have generally ruled against the government, leaving DACA in place for now.
The appeals court in Virginia found by a 2-1 decision that the rescission of DACA was arbitrary and capricious and violated administrative law.
Judge Robert King, appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton, and Judge Albert Diaz, appointed by Obama, formed the majority. Judge Julius Richardson, who was appointed by Trump, dissented.
A similar decision was reached by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco in November, which upheld a lower court injunction against ending the program.
The Supreme Court currently has three Trump administration appeals pending that seek to revive the administration's DACA proposal but the justices have so far delayed acting on them. It is likely the conservative-leaning court will ultimately have the final say on the issue.
On Thursday, Trump unveiled a proposed overhaul of the U.S. immigration system to favor educated English speakers over people with family ties to Americans, a plan he will push in his 2020 re-election campaign.
But the plan did not include protections for 'Dreamers,' a sticking point for Democratic lawmakers who say a permanent fix for this group of immigrants must be part of any proposed policy changes.

High-speed-Ethernet demos from Arista, Cisco, Juniper, Intel, Huawei and others portend a strong, looming 400G Ethernet future.
High-speed Ethernet is taking center stage this week at the European Conference on Optical Communication in Rome, Italy where a number of vendors including Arista, Cisco and Huawei are showing off gear that will power large-enterprise and hyperscale networks.
The key demos come from the Ethernet Alliance and the 100G Lambda multisource agreement (MSA) group that are pushing technology advances needed to support 400G Ethernet, including new pulse amplitude modulation or PAM4 for electrical and optical interfaces, high-bandwidth switching silicon and a new high-density pluggable connector system known as QSFP-DD.
According to the Ethernet Alliance, its demo encompasses one of the widest lineups of 400G optics seen to-date, featuring state-of-the-art PAM4 optical gear and electronics. Among key elements in the group's display are routers, switches, Active Optical Cables (AOCs) and Direct Attach Cables (DACs), interconnects, and test and measurement equipment.
The organization's display spotlights multiple PAM4-based Ethernet optics including 50G, 100bE, 200G, and 400G spanning distances of 100m to 40km, and various form factors such as CFP8, OSFP, QSFP28 and QSF-DD.
"Ethernet is going farther and faster than at any point previously in its 45-year history. There are so many exciting things happening, like the progress being made in PAM4 technologies," said John D'Ambrosia, chairman of the Ethernet Alliance in a statement.
The ECOC demonstration, which included Cisco Nexus 32-port 100G and 400G 1RU switches populated with various modules plugged in and interoperating with traffic flowing, Nowell wrote.
Nowell said that the IEEE came to a consensus to develop 400G Ethernet technology in 2012 and ever since demand for bandwidth has never slowed due to use cases such as cloud networking.
The European demos follow a successful high-speed Ethernet Plugfest held in August at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) which tested all manner of 400G, 100G, 50G, 25G, and NRZ and PAM4-based interfaces and signaling gear. The Ethernet Alliance event included Arista, Cisco, Juniper, Intel and others.
This month UNH-IOL also announced an Ethernet testing service that covers the new IEEE 802.3bs and the new IEEE 802.3cd specification for 50, 100, 200 and 400G Ethernet. The new services are for electrical and optical conformance testing of 50, 100, 200 and 400G Ethernet specifications, with plans to offer interoperability testing as new higher speed Ethernet products enter into development.
Cloud service providers are looking to higher efficiency and density Ethernet offers as they build out massive cloud-scale data centers, while the surge in mobile connectivity has telecoms pursuing higher speed Ethernet services, the Alliance stated. Bandwidth demand continues to grow at data centers that service high-bandwidth, rich media applications such as video streaming, online gaming and digital marketing.
This variety of activities is only part of a wave of high-speed Ethernet developments. A Dell'Oro report earlier this year said 400G is forecast to comprise 20% of data-center switching revenue by 2020. Higher speeds – 100G, 200G, 400G and 800G – are forecast to drive significant growth over the next five years.
The company said it will integrate 400G technology across its PTX, QFX data-center and MX routing families for a wide range of use cases, including backbone, peering, data-center interconnect, scale-out metro core, telco-cloud services and hyperscale data-center IP fabrics, all of which demand high bandwidth, low latency and security.


Officials say an East Islip man is accused of driving with a license that had been suspended 68 times.
Investigators tell News 12 they pulled over Louis Carr Jr., 63, on Albany Avenue in North Amityville Friday at 6:30 p.m. for failing to signal.
When officers ran his license, they discovered it had been suspended over 60 times.
Carr was arrested and is being charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, which is a felony.
He's set to appear before a judge Saturday.

NIGHT FEVER: JAGUAR RACING READY FOR SEASON SEVEN OF FORMULA E UNDER THE LIGHTS IN SAUDI ARABIA
Jaguar Racing return to electric street racing in its fifth season in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship
Jaguar's all-new racecar, the Jaguar I-TYPE 5, will be piloted by the exciting driver pairing – Jaguar's multiple race winner Mitch Evans and nine-time Formula E race winner Sam Bird who joins the British team this season
One of the strongest pairing on the Formula E grid - Evans and Bird - are focused on securing more points, podiums and wins for the British racing team
The first round is a double header of night races in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia
The lights turn green for season seven in Diriyah on the 26 February 2021 at 20:00 AET with the second race taking place just 24 hours later
British race team, Jaguar Racing, have their focus firmly on the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with the season opener only four days away. Season seven of the electric street racing series will start with two-night races in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia. The first on 26 February 2021 at 20:00 (AST) and the second just 24 hours later.
With one of the strongest pairings on the Formula E grid, Sam Bird and Mitch Evans will drive in the new racecar, the Jaguar I-TYPE 5. This is New Zealander Evans' fifth season with Jaguar Racing while Britian's Sam Bird, who has won races in every Formula E season, is new to the British team this season. Both drivers have previous form on the Saudi Arabian street track - Evans secured points last year and Bird was victorious in the 2019 season opener in Diriyah.
Since the last race in August 2020, development of the season seven racecar, the Jaguar I-TYPE 5, has centred around an all-new in-house powertrain, suspension and state-of-the-art invertor which features 24 carat gold.
JAGUAR RACING UNVEIL JAGUAR I-TYPE 5 RACE CAR AHEAD OF NEW FORMULA E CAMPAIGN
JAGUAR RACING - VALENCIA TESTING
There is huge motivation and excitement to get our fifth season underway and it is particularly special as the first ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. We are starting the season with a focus and determination to achieve points, podiums and wins and with our new driver pairing our potential is better than ever. We have spent months developing the Jaguar I-TYPE 5 and we are now looking forward to take to the track in Diriyah for the double-header season opener and first ever Formula E night races. We have enjoyed the racing and learned a lot from our past races in Diriyah and look forward to a great start to this World Championship season.
Team Director Jaguar Racing
Formula E is a familiar racing environment to me but having recently joined Jaguar, I am very motivated to get the best on track results possible and to start season seven with positive momentum. I've spent a lot of time with my engineers over the last few months and it's been great to get in the Jaguar I-TYPE 5 for some pre-season testing. With a new team comes a refreshed vigour to perform on track – I am excited to take on the double-header in Diriyah and push for my first points with Jaguar Racing. I've won there not so long ago so can't wait to get going.
Sam Bird
Jaguar Racing driver, #10
Over the last five seasons we've really grown as a team, achieving multiple podiums with our most recent win being Mexico City in 2020. With these memories comes a gritty determination to continue to build on that success in season seven. I'm really looking forward to starting the season in Diriyah - having set the fastest lap in the first race there last time out, before I sadly missed out on a podium spot in the second race, I'm hungry for success and as a team we're determined to start season seven in the strongest possible position.
Mitch Evans
Lights go green in four days on the season seven opener. The doubler header sees the first race commence on Friday 26 February 2021 at 20:00 local time (AST) and the second on Saturday 27 February 2021 at 20:00 local time (AST).

Its all about learning something new everyday!
What makes me happy? Learning something new everyday. For me that is a focus on making things. For other people it could be coding or cooking or maybe learning something new for work. Whatever it is, over time this will pay off. I learned how to read assembly drawings as a child, I still need to read them to this day. For me it also the feeling of being able to fix/repair anything. When things break its not a crisis but a challenge for me to learn something new.
Well when I teach/share something, I double and triple check myself. I wan't to make sure I really understand what I am saying and I want it to be correct. So for me, it is part of my learning process. Sure I still make mistakes but that's a good thing. When you make mistakes you learn something!!

Chronic renal failure (CRF) is the most pervasive, overall general medical condition of the elderly population. The primary cause of CRF is a harmed kidney. There are five phases of CRF in view of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and stage 5 (GFR < 15 ml/min/1.73 m2) is much of the time called an end-stage renal sickness (ESRD) [1]. In CRF, there is a collection of toxins and excess water because of compromised renal function. Dialysis is the favored method for treating ESRD and eliminate gathered toxins from the body. The cardiovascular risk related with dialysis is 10 to multiple times higher in patients going through dialysis than in typical individuals. The inflamed kidneys and the course of dialysis additionally influence endothelial capability, exasperating the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular issues. Consequently, the two doctors and patients ought to know about the outcomes of going through dialysis.
The course of removal of waste and additional water from blood is called dialysis. It is an artificial substitution of kidney functioning, particularly in renal failure cases. Dialysis can't totally perform lost kidney functions, yet, somewhat, deals with its activities through diffusion and ultrafiltration. It is used or done in chronic renal failure (CRF) when the glomerular filtration rate falls under 15 ml/min/1.73 m2. CRF is a condition where there is a deficiency of function capability over a time of months or years. CRF can be analyzed by estimating serum creatinine levels, which are a degradative result of muscle protein. Creatinine levels show the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and in CRF, its activity are raised, demonstrating a decreased GFR. There are five phases of CRF based on the GFR, and dialysis is preferred in stage 5 (GFR < 15 ml/min/1.73 m2); this stage is additionally called end stage renal disease (ESRD). Dialysis is performed in CRF patients to eliminate aggregated toxins from the body [2]. This strategy might be responsible for the improvement of oxidative stress, because of an imbalance between the overproduction of reactive oxygen species or toxins and a decreased mechanism of the body. Oxidative stress disturbs the normal working of the cell.
The force with which blood moves through a vein when the heart pumps blood is called blood pressure (BP), and it is estimated with the assistance of a sphygmomanometer. In a healthy person, healthy person, the BP is 120/80 mmHg (systolic strain (heart siphons)/diastolic pressure (heart relaxes)). If it is 140/90 mmHg then the condition is called as hypertension. Hypertension increases the pressure of blood flow, which might harm veins. In the event that renal veins are involved, it prompts the gathering of poisons and liquids, which further raises the blood pressure [3]. It's obviously true that hypertension alone is a risk factor for kidney diseases, and if it is related with different inconveniences, it prompts CRF.
The renal functional capacity can be evaluated by estimating serum creatinine/blood urea nitrogen (BUN) or by urea and creatinine leeway. There are two kinds of dialysis procedures; it could be hemodialysis (utilizing a machine/artificial kidneylike apparatus) or peritoneal dialysis (involving a peritoneal membrane as a channel). Peritoneal dialysis is suggested for more young patients as a result of its adaptability and can be performed at home. Hemodialysis is done for patients with no remaining renal capability.
The mechanism of hemodialysis
In hemodialysis, the wastes and excess water are taken out by utilizing an external filter called a dialyzer, which contains a semipermeable film [4]. The disconnection of wastes is done by making a counter-current flow gradient, where blood flow is in one way and the liquid of the dialyzer is the other way. Peritoneal dialysis involves the peritoneum as a natural semipermeable film and eliminates waste and water into the dialysate (the material or liquid that goes through the membrane of the dialysis).
The essential rule involved with dialysis is the movement or diffusion of solute particles across a semipermeable film (diffusion). Metabolic byproducts, like urea and creatinine, diffuse down the concentration gradient from the flow into the dialysate (sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), sodium chloride (NaCl), corrosive concentrate, and deionized water). During their diffusion into the dialysate, the size of particles, thus, decides the pace of diffusion across the membrane. The bigger the size of the solute molecule, the slower is the pace of diffusion across the membrane. Here, arteries carrying oxygenated blood from the heart are associated with a vein forming an arteriovenous shunt, which makes the vein strong (by framing muscles around it like an artery) enough to be penetrated commonly; its pressure is additionally observed during the course of dialysis [5].

It is a thoroughly British novel – not only because it declaims history to be not just the "lies of the victorious" but also "the delusions of the defeated" ,the British having contributed to most of the history of the past few centuries, but because it has the authentic stamp of Julian Barnes' writing style.
The book starts with a memory (or rather a slew of them) and ends with another. And these memories belong to Tony Webster, a retired lawyer, now contemplating the myriad possibilities of a quiet and uneventful retirement. Enter a mysterious will and Tony Webster suddenly finds himself re-examining his whole life, starting from his school days when he first met Adrian Finn.
Tony Webster first meets Adrian Finn in sixth form at school. Part of a group of four, they navigate their clueless way through the rest of their school years intending to stay friends forever. Their time together in the sixth form with Adrian frequently denouncing his teachers' explanations with his constant refrain of "that is philosophically self-evident" sees him winning the unreserved admiration of the group. Yet, Adrian, promising and talented Adrian, ends up with his wrists slashed at the young age of twenty-two.
Tony Webster now has the unsettling task of re-examining his past to figure out why his old mate's suicide wasn't as straightforward as he'd supposed it to be. His walk down memory lane is assisted by a few of the characters from his past, but clueless as he was in the sixth form and still is Tony finds himself hopping exasperatedly in circles and on the verge of unraveling a secret he's sure he isn't going to like.
Written with a terse, almost thrilling pace, the seemingly empty plot leads us straight into the ambush Julian Barnes sets for us at the very end. The book is masterfully written and takes you along for the ride, all the while reinforcing your own theories of the fragility of human morality and memory. And then seemingly, out of nowhere, Barnes flicks on the light leaving you bewildered, open-mouthed and gaping at the sheer brilliance.
It gives you the sense its ending before you've hardly started but nevertheless leaves you feeling quite unsure about the veracity of your most deepest memories, either cherished or loathed. "Perhaps", you find yourself thinking "memories are what we have forgotten, not what we remember". But that is philosophically self-evident.

Q: customize macro when using ndk-build To my understanding, I can customize a macro with LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DMY_DEFINITION in Android.mk, but Can I customize a macro when ndk-building projects? Such as:
$ ndk-build -DMy_DEFINITION

Somewhat like cmake -DMY_DEFINITION .., which makes building configurations more flexible

A: Use:
ndk-build MY_DEFINITION=1

That will be visible from your Android.mk. Can see that it is set by using $(info):
$(info MY_DEFINITION=$(MY_DEFINITION))
# Rest of your Android.mk...

Record rainfall is hurting cotton production in San Angelo area

What was already a challenging year for Concho Valley cotton went from bad to worse, local farmers say.
A few Wall-area producers lingered in the coffee room at the Wall Co-op Gin on Thursday and said their expectations for the 2018 harvest are pretty low.
After weeks of rain, their flooded fields dried up last week, giving most of them a day or two to get something done before it rained again Wednesday.
"It will be at least a week before I can get back out there," said Doyle Schniers. "And that's if we have plenty of sunshine and some winds to dry things out."

"We've got a lot of boll rot going on right now," he said. "That really affects the quality, and from what we're hearing, the quality is not going to be very good."

Schniers produced his smartphone and showed a picture of a couple of cotton bolls he examined, and a significant portion of their interiors were darkly discolored.
"I cut some unopened bolls, and look at how black they are inside – that's no good," he said. "We really hope they don't even open up, in fact, because if it does, that's going to come in with the rest of the cotton and lower the value all of it."
Another farmer said the 10-day periods with no sunshine were a big detriment to the crop.
"It was already going to be a weak year," he said. "But between the clouds and excess rain – it's a tough year, and the expenses are just phenomenal."
The farmers said although the quality will be much lower than they would like, they will be harvesting just as soon as they can, and they talked about some of the variables that affect pricing.

"When that boll is open and it gets rained on, it's washing the oils off of the (cotton) lint, and that affects the weight, and the seed quality is going to be poor," Schniers said. "Not only that, but the boll rot I showed you is going to discolor the cotton, and that's going to really hurt the grade, and low-grade cotton really hurts the price."

Another factor they discussed was unwanted top growth due to the rains.
"Tall cotton" used to be a considered a good thing, but the farmers say any top growth after the initial fruiting just gets in the way come harvest time and slows things down.
"If you see a cotton plant that's 5 feet tall these days, you can bet it's pretty sorry," one said.
The farmers said a few modules have been delivered to the gin in the last few days by one producer who managed to get into his fields and work fast before the rains fell again, but generally speaking, things are far behind schedule, as they need to move on to planting wheat soon.
"We have to get this cotton out of the way before we can plant wheat," Schniers said.
"My cotton was easy to take care of," one farmer said. "I just took a plow to it."
On the bright side, they say the rains have done wonders for the local aquifers, and some irrigation wells in the area are exhibiting artesian flow, bubbling right out the top of the wellhead on formation pressure.
"It looks like our underground water is back 100 percent," Schniers said.

"We have a ranch on the west side of the county," another man said, "and these rains have been wonderful over there, so that just shows you how something can be bad for one place and great for another."
He showed those gathered a video of a stream flowing clear water across the range, and said he hasn't seen that for quite some time.
"This is just spring water running through there," he told the group. "We have three of those running out there right now – and Twin Buttes (Reservoir) is equalized, and the last time that happened was 1994 – so it sure has been good for the lakes," he said.
