AAJ Identifies the Worst Corporate Conduct of 2018
By Anderson & Boutwell
To support corporate interests, the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform (ILR) annually releases a list of the year's Top 10 Most Ridiculous Lawsuits. According to Insurance Journal, "It's the business group's way of drawing attention to what it sees as abuse in the criminal justice system." To counter this tactic, the American Association for Justice (AAJ) also publicizes reports that identify and analyze the worst cases of corporate misconduct that are brought to trial each year. Interestingly, the 2018 report also criticizes any institutions that had the power to stop these cases of misconduct and failed to do so.
The mission of the AAJ, formerly known as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA®), is to "promote a fair and effective justice system – and to support the work of attorneys in their efforts to ensure that any person who is injured by the misconduct or negligence of others can obtain justice in America's courtrooms, even when taking on the most powerful interests." The trial bar believes that every citizen has a constitutional right to pursue justice through the established legal system, especially if it means taking on powerful corporations. Elise Sanguinetti, the President of the AAJ, states, "This report contains eye-opening details about the shocking misconduct and lack of ethics pervading corporate culture. But the good news is, Americans can rely on civil justice to hold these bad actors accountable and change the way they do business. When everyday Americans are lied to, abused, or injured, they don't want a phone apology – they want the ability to exercise their constitutional right to hold unscrupulous corporations to account in court in front of a jury."
The Sorry-Not-Sorry Campaign
Corporate representatives and CEOs are experts at "sorry-not-sorry" campaigns. Like a celebrity dodging personal responsibility after an errant twitter comment, these powerful corporate leaders view apologies as defensive weapons rather than sincere acknowledgements of any wrongdoing. In fact, these campaigns specifically cater to the public eye and are meant to protect the company's image. Fortunately, the AAJ is devoted to holding these corporations responsible for their acts of negligence and misconduct.
The AAJ's list of the "Worst Corporate Conduct of 2018" includes:
Nestlé: Since its founding in 1866, Nestlé has developed into the world's largest food and beverage company. However, this great success story is riddled with countless lawsuits and outrageous scandals because the company chooses to engage in several unethical practices, including: price-fixing, harmful water privatization, deforestation, and product mislabeling. Worst of all, the company has been accused of utilizing and condoning child and slave-labor. For example, approximately 2.1 million children in West Africa have been forced to perform labor for Nestlé. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Nestlé USA and Cargill Co. failed to use their considerable power and economic leverage to remove child and slave labor from their production processes and had even "taken steps to perpetuate a system built on child slavery to depress labor costs."
Navient: This for-profit corporation is one of the top three student loan lenders in the United States. According to the AAJ, Navient has received numerous complaints for its deceptive and unlawful practices. For example, Navient is reporting that disabled debtors are defaulting on their loans after they've already been forgiven through federal disability programs. Also, the company has made $4 billion by encouraging debtors into forbearance and overlooking better debt-relief options.
State Farm: In September 2018, State Farm settled a $250 million Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) lawsuit after secretly conspiring to install a candidate, Lloyd Karmeier, on the Illinois Supreme Court.
USA Gymnastics/MSU: Before 2015, Larry Nassar enjoyed a reputable career as an osteopath physician at Michigan State University (MSU) and as an official doctor for the USA women's national gymnastics team. Nassar, who spent decades sexually assaulting hundreds of female patients, was protected from complaints and legal allegations by both MSU and USA Gymnastics. Despite the investigation being impeded by these corporate-backed organizations, the U.S. Department of Education officially declared that MSU's handling of sexual assault cases is in violation of Title IX. While many officials from MSU and USA Gymnastics are still awaiting their trials, Nassar has been convicted as a serial child molester and sentenced to a minimum 100 years in state prison.
BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, & Royal Dutch Shell: These five oil companies are being sued by New York City for denying the environmental impact of global warming gases. If the lawsuit is successful, it will yield compensation that can help pay for any infrastructure damage caused by climate change.
Takata: In the late 1990s, Takata began making air-bag inflators with ammonium nitrate propellant. It didn't take long for the company to realize that their product was dangerous to motor vehicle drivers and passengers. While the scandal has been ongoing since the early 2000s, millions of Americans still drive cars that are equipped with this company's defective air bags. In May 2018, four automakers – Mazda, Subaru, Toyota, and BMW – reached a $553 million settlement with their consumers for installing Takata air bags in their vehicles. In their 2018 report, AAJ criticizes General Motors for filing petitions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) just to avoid recalling its vehicles, effectively saving the company approximately $1 billion.
Theranos: In 2015, Elizabeth Holmes was declared the youngest and wealthiest self-made billionaire in America. The founder and former CEO of Theranos claimed that medical conditions, including diabetes and cancer, could be detected from just a few drops of blood for the low price of $2.99. However, the company was faking lab tests and demonstrations to intentionally mislead investors. John Carreyrou of The Wall Street Journal worked with Theranos whistleblowers to reveal that the company was defrauding investors, doctors, and patients. In 2018, a federal grand jury indicted Holmes and her former COO on nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Canada Day, 2020. . . I Miss My Country!
Tue, June 30, 2020 | Author: Ron Gray | Volume 27 Issue 26 | Share: Facebook | Twitter
I really miss the country I grew up in. It was called "Canada". It wasn't perfect, by a long shot; but it was 'way, 'way better than anything else I knew or had heard of.
Canada in those days was proud of its world-beating record in abolishing slavery: in 1793, in Upper Canada, Governor Simcoe made slave trading illegal. That was 40 years before William Wilberforce in Great Britain, and 70 years before Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in the United States. That's why Canada was the northern terminus of Harriet Tubman's "Underground Railroad": when slaves reached Canadian soil, they were free, and could not be sent back to their former owners.
That fact wasn't widely known—it still isn't—but it tempered attitudes. I had classmates and friends of African origin when I was in school; they were my equals and my peers in the Canada of my youth.
Most people don't know, either, that the first Thanksgiving held in North America was in Canada (then called "New France") 85 years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts.
Mind you, there was a lot of conscious and unconscious bigotry against people of Indigenous background in Canada when I was a child; some still exists, but we've made a lot of progress on that front in recent years. And there was anti-Semitism, too: in the streets of East Vancouver, among kids who had no idea what they were saying, the word "jew" was a pejorative verb, meaning "to cheat". We've made a lot of progress on that front, too—but today, anti-Semitism is roaring back to life because of bigoted ideas like the "Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions" (BDS) movement (against the State of Israel). It's immoral, but it enjoys a lot of currency on university campuses and in some churches—anywhere that politically correct (PC) speech is the only speech allowed.
The rise of PC speech, especially in the Education Establishment, is one of the worst offences against the freedoms we used to regard as God-given: if what you said in those days was stupid or cruel, you could expect a rebuttal; today, if what you say isn't the approved PC party line, you'll be de-platformed, insulted, or hauled before a so-called "human rights" tribunal, where your accuser will have all his legal expenses paid by the taxpayer, but you will have to bear all the costs of your defence yourself.
And the "judges" in those kangaroo courts will inform you that truth is not a valid defence.
There was also some anti-Christian bigotry in the days of my childhood. That has not gone away; it has grown much, much worse ever since prayer and Bible-reading were excised from the schools. Now anti-Christianism is the default "norm" of public dialogue, in the schools, in the universities, and in the media. In 2004, an American named Janet Folger wrote a book, The Criminalization of Christianity. And many of the examples she used came from Canada.
Since 2004, many things have become much worse in Canada. Crime has escalated beyond belief—and beyond rational calculation, because official crime statistics have been radically modified to eliminate the counting of certain crimes. Rape is now subsumed into a broader category called "sexual assault"—so statisticians can now say that rape is far, far less than it used to be. But sexual assault has skyrocketed.
So have other forms of assault. Common courtesy has become uncommon. Rudeness is the only form of humour many people know.
The PC mode du jour today is transgenderism. A small percentage of pre-pubescent children become confused about their gender; they need and deserve care, comfort and counselling. But what's happening instead is that the vast majority of children are being fed lies about gender. And the rising tide of acquiescence to transgenderism is having negative effects: because official records are being altered to list biological males as "women", health statistics are being skewed and rendered useless; women's sports are being eradicated, since biological males can compete unfairly against true women, by merely self-identifying as female; and women's prisons and shelters are being rendered unsafe by being required to take in males who self-identify as "female" or something in-between.
And then there is immigration. Apart from our Indigenous brothers and sisters, we're all from immigrant roots. And contrary to what our Prime Minister and his Liberal Party have said, Canada has—or had—a national culture. My parentage was Austrian and German on one side, Scottish on the other. But when my forebears came to Canada, they knew that they had to speak English; or, in Quebec, Eastern Ontario and some maritime regions, French.
But today, many immigrants—whom we welcome as residents and encourage to become citizens—tend to congregate in cultural enclaves; some even try to re-create in Canada the very culture that they left behind in order to find a better life. The culture of Canada is (or was) a "high trust" culture, which is what made this country one of the most desirable places on earth to live.
But as enclaves of people try to re-create the culture and social norms they left behind, Canada is being changed—and not for the better.
Make no mistake, cultural imports such as food, music, art, and clothing enrich Canada. But cultural imports like misogyny, cultural or violent jihad, anti-Semitism, anti-Christianism, violence, bigotry and dishonesty do not.
I miss the Canada I grew up in. It wasn't perfect, but it was headed in a much better direction than this one is today. We can do better. We must do better. Canada Day is meant to be a day of celebration for the freedom, the prosperity and the moral standards for which we were once known. With God's help, we can return to the foundations, the principles and the heritage that make those things possible. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Ps. 33:12

When four friends were out fishing on Spring Lake near Sea Bright, New Jersey, they never thought rescue workers would pull them to safety that afternoon. Their boat had taken on water, and another boater noticed they were in distress and called the U.S. Coast Guard. All of them were wearing life jackets, and aside from being a little cold the four people were safe.
This is just one of the many types of incidences the National Safe Boating Council highlights in its efforts to educate recreational boaters about the importance of proper preparation and consistent life jacket wear. Situations on the water can deteriorate quickly, and always wearing a life jacket can not only give you peace of mind to control an emergency situation, but can also save your life.
National Safe Boating Week is from May 16 - 22, 2015.
Make sure everyone is wearing a life jacket — even experienced swimmers. There are innovative options, such as inflatable life jackets, allowing mobility and flexibility for activities like boating, fishing, paddling or hunting, and are much cooler in the warmer weather.
Make sure your life jacket is U.S. Coast Guard approved, appropriate for your water activity, and that it fits properly. A life jacket that is too large or too small can cause different situational problems.
Always dress for the weather, wear layers if cooler weather, and bring an extra set of clothes in case you get wet.
Be sure to prepare your boat as well. There are many items that need to be checked and re-checked on any boat. Schedule a free Vessel Safety Check with your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power Squadrons before you hit the water.
Know your boat's capacity. If you have more on your boat than it was designed to handle, the boat may become unstable and capsize.
Know the latest marine weather forecast prior to going out, and keep a regular check for changing condition.
File a float plan with someone you trust that includes details about the trip, boat, passengers, towing or trailer vehicle, communication equipment, and emergency contacts. Download a free float plan template at floatplancentral.org.
Always follow navigation rules. Know the 'Rules of the Road' such as operator's responsibility, maintaining a proper lookout, safe speed, crossing, meeting head-on and overtaking situations. Find out more at boatoncourse.com.
Don't drink alcohol while you boat. Alcohol use is the leading contributing factor in fatal boating accidents; it was listed as the leading factor in 16 percent of deaths in 2013. Find out more at operationdrywater.org.
Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning. Gasoline-powered engines on boats, including onboard generators, produce carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless and odorless gas that can poison or kill someone who breathes too much of it.
Keep in touch. Communication devices can be the most important piece of emergency equipment on board a vessel, especially in case of emergency. In addition to cell phones, satellite phones, emergency position indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs), VHF radios and personal locator beacons (PLBs) can all contribute in an emergency situation. Find out more at savedbythebeacon.com.
Going fishing is a lot of fun, but always remember safety first — you never know when wearing your life jacket will save your life. Always Wear It! For more information, check Take Me Fishing's Safe Boating Checklist.
Rachel Johnson is executive director of the National Safe Boating Council, the lead organization for the North American Safe Boating Campaign. The yearlong campaign, simply known as Wear It!, promotes safe and responsible boating and the value of voluntary life jacket wear by recreational boaters. Wear It! unites the efforts of a wide variety of boating safety advocates and is produced under a grant from the Sports Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. For more information about boating safety and life jacket wear, follow on Twitter at twitter.com/boatingcampaign and Like at facebook.com/safeboatcampaign, or visit safeboatingcampaign.com.

As I stood at the bar, watching the beer pour into my cup, the first band made its entrance onto the stage, greeted by joyous cheering from the crowd that had gathered at the Métropolis for a night of Californian rock. They immediately began playing sounds that made me think ,"Wait, is Tame Impala opening!?" The Australian group had already played the venue a few months back, so I made my way towards the stage to investigate this new band. They're called Hunny, and they mix musical elements of Miniature Tigers, The Police and Pink Floyd. The frontman delivered a ton of punkish energy onstage, drinking from a wine bottle while bouncing around, singing, playing guitar, and generally being so into the music that you couldn't help but smile. The audience danced and clapped with the band, led by the frontman's enthusiasm. It's worth noting that the whole group put on a fun show, and delivered solid songs that got me moving. The use of effects and melodic layering were great – I have yet to hear a bad mix at the Metropolis, no matter where I stand in the room. The drummer is a powerhouse and the synth player shook the room at times, thanks to some glorious sub-bass paired to some awesome use of tremolo. Hunny is a great band, and their first EP, Pain/Ache/Loving, was just released on October 9th. They played a short, seven-song set, but I'm sure we'll be hearing more from these guys soon.
Next was Bad Suns, a quartet that brought us rock songs that sounded like they were written in a dark bar somewhere in Vegas. Frontman Christo Bowman impressed me with his singing skills and brought the audience into the music, dancing wildly and letting us know that Montreal had his heart. Their second song was "Cardiac Arrest," which I sang to along with a new friend and what seemed like the whole venue. They play catchy songs that are danceable and intense. The main band I can compare them to is The Killers, with their upbeat bar rock that has a four-on-the-floor kind of feel. Both Gavin Bennett the bassist and guitarist Ray Libby were immersed in the music they played, moving to the rhythm and digging in for those moments in the song when the intensity reached its peak. Drummer Miles Morris played interesting patterns that often caught my attention, and the bassist occasionally took over a synthesizer. All bands played in front of a giant screen that night, but it was during Bad Suns' set that we got the subtle first glimpse of some animated graphics that were soon to come. Near the end of their set, they launched into a jam section that reminded me of "Three Days" from the mighty Jane's Addiction. They were good, but it was during The Neighbourhood's set that my mind got blown.
You know a band's got big fans when they cheer for the band's technical crew. A few times before The Neighbourhood got onstage, the crowd made noise as a member of their touring team could be seen setting up the band's gear. When the musicians showed up, the crowd went nuts. I was mesmerized as they began the first song, which was complemented by slick, black and white animated graphics of palm trees and shades of waves on the big screen behind the band. The Neighbourhood are known to play dark, sensual music, and the people gathered at the Metropolis got exactly what they wanted that night. Frontman Jessie Rutherford captured my attention and held it for most of the show, jumping around and singing from atop of his monitor. He was very energetic, sang very well, and was completely connected with the crowd. They played songs from their upcoming album, and consistently recreated the music from previous works to a tee. The music was well played, well structured, catchy, and powerful. At times, the band brought forth hints of Portishead's "Glory Box" that were complemented by a fuck-ton of soul from Jessie Rutherford, sending shivers up my spine. The crowd sang along to "Afraid" while the band received a bra tossed from an audience member. "Daddy Issues" was next and saw the frontman half-singing, half-moaning out the lyrics, as the band supplied beautiful audio textures for this sensual track. The Neighbourhood have a knack for creating huge moments in their music, while remaining catchy and memorable. The light show was also a lot of fun: sporadic strobe lights, swirling multicolored lights, the giant screen that would occasionally turn off to reveal spotlights built into it… As the band finished the first part of their set, they exited the stage for a minute or two before the frontman returned with auto tune on his mic for a brief rap set he handled solo, accompanied by a backing track. The songs he sang were generally short and melded into each other. It was an interesting break, and brought variety to The Neighbourhood's set. The band then returned to play the last three songs: "Warm," "Sweater Weather," and "RIP 2 My Youth". All I can say is that, after singing "Sweater Weather" in the subway for the past two years, it was awesome to sing it with the band and 2299 fellow fans. "RIP 2 My Youth" was a great set closer, and culminated with a fourth bra thrown to the stage.

Donald Trump and the Pharisees Again
Posted on November 25, 2017 by James Riley
We need a Pharisee Purge, in the church, and the public square
Picture a man—let's call him Jeff—who toils, cleaning up after the abortion industry, clearing away its human carnage. Jeff makes a fortune quietly disposing of babies, or selling their parts. His human resources department profiles employees who can sweep up arms, legs, and little faces into canisters, as though they were cleaning up a deli counter. Human beings, to these people, are something like sliced tomatoes. Jeff needs soul-dead techno-temps who can be counted on not to take pictures, or publicize the holocaust. In the modern world, this is as close as we might reasonably come to Molech worship or Aztec temple sacrifice. It's a huge, bloody, daily mess made clean with sanitizer and incinerators.
But Jeff compartmentalizes. His wingtips bear no blood when he goes to church. He wears starched shirts to work and smells nice. In his daily life Jeff is an absolute gentleman. He would never grope a female staff member, never tell an off-color joke. Politically, he is scrupulous in his bipartisan sensibilities. He's meek and mild and makes a very fine Sunday School Teacher. He's established a tradition of doing the dishes for his wife.
Picture another guy—let's call him Don—who likes to talk. He makes deals. He defends himself when wronged. Some people even think he's surly and childish at times. Don appreciates beautiful women. You might see him at a beauty pageant or a prize fight. He's on his third marriage. He's declared bankruptcy a few times, and he's built a rather sizable empire, and Don has more than a few enemies. Don is not without principle though–he loves his country, and the ideas that made his country great. Don is fairly simple: he likes things that actually work; he operates on the basis of simple optimism. He wakes up every morning more or less confident he can make the sale, and that everybody will benefit from that sale.
When fatherhood caught Don by surprise, he came to appreciate how ugly abortion really is, and he changed his mind about it.
Jeff sanitizes baby killing everyday, but his cuff links are polished and he would never say a mean thing about anybody. Don can be insulting, but he's got your back.
About fifteen months ago, I wrote a blog called Donald Trump and the Pharisees. It's been read and shared more than 1.5 million times. Erick Erickson of RedState and The Resurgent ridiculed me for it and Richard Painter, George W Bush's ethics attorney at the White House identified it as a "Jesus Play Book" for Donald Trump.
I haven't changed my basic conclusion. Both many American conservatives in the #NeverTrump category, and of course many liberals, value appearances over conviction. If they were facing the third Reich, today, they would choose Orrin Hatch over General Patton. These are the sort of people who glowed about George W Bush never responding to his critics, as though there were something "Christ like" about allowing falsehood to go uncontested. These are the sort of people who cringe whenever Donald Trump bitch-slaps an enemy on Twitter. In their value system "being presidential" is far more important than "being truthful." Words simply can't convey my utter contempt for the Max Lucados of the world (the "Jeffs") who enable baby killing and Islamic butchery and wince at a few uncouth words on Twitter. They are the very picture of men who choke on gnats and swallow camels without so much as chewing.
A friend emailed me this morning: Jeff Flake and Mitch McConnell continue to lament the senate candidacy of Roy Moore. They continue to trot out four decade old rants that continue to be discredited with each passing week. According to Flake, "If the choice was between Roy Moore and a Democrat, I would vote for the Democrat if I lived in Alabama."
Jeff would rather have a baby killer in office than a bold, if flawed, Christian, and he has lots of company all around the swamp.
That should tell you something about both their political principles, and their faith. Jeff Flake, like his friends, is a spiritual corpse, walking around in a highly polished coffin.

SONA 2019
Federalism now dances to Cha-cha beat
By: Leila B. Salaverria - Reporter / @LeilasINQ
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:16 AM July 17, 2019
(Second of a series)
Taking its cue from President Rodrigo Duterte's recent pronouncements, the government body tasked with pushing for federalism and constitutional reform will be dancing to a new tune in the last three years of the administration.
Its main thrust before was to push for the rather complex idea of a federal government. But now its messaging will focus on amending the Charter, according to Interior Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Federalism and Constitutional Reform.
The task force is headed by Interior Secretary Eduardo Año and composed of various members of the Cabinet. Its new central message, backed by "four pillars," is to change the rotten system and push for a new constitution: "Baguhin ang bulok na sistema, isulong ang bagong konstitusyon."
"We will relaunch a new campaign after the President's [State of the Nation Address]," Malaya told the Inquirer. "We recalibrated the messaging because before, it was direct to federalism. Now, our approach would be, let's look at the root of the problem, and the problem is the rotten system."
The President himself had seemed resigned to the idea that Filipinos did not want a federal government. But he appeared determined to push Charter change (Cha-cha).
"If you do not want federalism, fine, but change the Constitution that would change this nation," he said in June.
More flexible now
The task force's proposed changes to the 1987 Constitution, which it intends to finalize by August, may advocate either a federal government, a quasifederal government, or some form of decentralized government under a unitary system, according to Malaya.
"Federalism is still part of the plan; it's still there because it's part of the President's agenda," he said. "But taking our cue from the President—if you don't want it, then that's OK—we will take the same stance."
He said the task force was more flexible now, not solely focused on a federal government but open to proposals to strengthen regions. It may recommend smaller changes instead of a wholesale revamp of the fundamental law of the land.
Malaya said the recommendations would be sent to the President for his approval and comments, and the final draft submitted to the House of Representatives and the Senate.
In this way, he said, the members of the executive branch will speak with one voice when they explain to and defend the proposed constitutional amendments before Congress.
The concept of federalism has been a hard sell to the general public, with surveys showing little support for a federal government, Malaya acknowledged.
"Federalism is complex governance," he said. "It's difficult to make people understand that; it's easier to make them understand gut issues."
But with a new effort pushing specific changes to the Constitution and the benefits these would bring, the task force expects the idea to be more palatable and easier to digest," Malaya said.
"It's easier to propose smaller changes instead of wholesale, which is very heavy," he said. "There's merit to choosing one provision or another."
To make the proposed changes easier to understand, Malaya said, the task force will group them under four themes or pillars:
Strengthening the regions, with the aim of enriching the provinces and decongesting the metropolis: "Payamanin ang probinsya, paluwagin ang Metro Manila."
Implementing reforms in the political and electoral system, with the battle cry of a government for the people and not for traditional politicians: "Gobyerno para sa tao, hindi para sa trapo." This will include proposed changes to ban political dynasties, reform the party list system, and strengthen political parties.
Liberalizing the economy, with the idea that an open economy gives hope to everyone: "Buksan ang ekonomiya, nang ang lahat ay may pag-asa." This will include proposals to amend the economic provisions that limit foreign participation.
Bringing about a new charter that would benefit future generations: "Bagong konstitusyon sa bagong henerasyon."
For the task force, the bottom line is to decentralize power and strengthen the regions.
"At the very least, we should ensure that the resources will go to the provinces," Malaya said. "Even if we do not tweak the governance structure, at least let us ensure there will be more funds available."
At present, the local government's share of the funds is too small, he said.
Regional governments
Malaya said regional governments should be formed to better manage resources. Provinces in a region will be better able to map out a strategy that fits their goals and strengths, and will have the funds to do so, he said.
He pointed out that while regional development councils existed, these were mere coordinating bodies that had no powers or funds, and that local governments had to compete with each other for a share of the pie from the national government.
The Constitution does not recognize regional governments, which is why it needs to be amended, he said.
Malaya said that having served as a mayor, the President knew all these too well.
"He felt that, as a mayor, a local government official, it was difficult to deal with the national government," Malaya said. "You have to be a member of the President's party, you have to cozy up to the leaders when in fact, you just want to improve your jurisdiction."
Malaya said the 1987 Constitution was designed to respond to the needs of the generation at that time, when the country had just defeated a dictatorship and was returning to democracy.
It has proved useful in allowing a peaceful transition, but things have since changed, he said.
"The challenges of the current situation, the current problems of our country, can no longer be addressed by the 1987 Constitution. We need a constitution today that addresses the needs of the current and future generation," Malaya said.
He acknowledged that there would be opposition to any move to change the Constitution, including those claiming that it was the legacy of President Corazon Aquino.
"[But] there is no such thing as a perfect constitution. A constitution is only perfect if it addresses the needs of the people. When it no longer [functions as such], it should be amended," he said, adding:
"And the Constitution itself has a provision of amendment and revision, which means it knows that it has to be changed."
Unenthusiastic Senate
Malaya is optimistic about the success of Charter change moves in Congress given its composition. Presumptive House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano has begun laying out his own proposals.
But senators are less than enthusiastic, and have pointed out that the mode of amending the Charter has yet to be resolved.
If it would be through a constituent assembly, the two chambers are expected to tussle over whether they will vote jointly or separately on the proposed changes.
A constitutional convention also has its share of critics, who say it will be too time-consuming.
Sen. Aquilino Pimentel III, main proponent of federalism in the Senate, has acknowledged that it will be an uphill battle in the chamber for federalism.
Nevertheless, Pimentel has said he will file a measure to propose a shift to a federal government. He said he was sure the President would not mind if he still tried to seek support for federalism while proposed Charter amendments were being tackled.
He said he believed that people were slowly accepting the idea of federalism: "What I can say now is that support is growing stronger, but I'm not saying it's overwhelming. People need more information about it."
Charter change may be achieved in three years, Malaya said. "Many of the issues here have been debated for so long," he said. "The 1987 Constitution is not new; it's old. And for people to say we don't know yet [what needs to be changed]… We know. By now we know."
He said the plebiscite had to take place by 2021 so that Charter change could be completed before Mr. Duterte stepped down.
With a budget of P150 million for this year, the task force will visit the provinces and work with the leagues of local officials to discuss and promote the amendment of the Constitution. It will also tap services of the government media network and civil society organizations.
"This will be a bigger operation than the last one," he said, adding that the President was committed to this idea.
"Changing the Constitution changes the fundamental law of the land. If you are able to change the Constitution, it will be the ultimate Duterte legacy," he said.

ZLATAN 2014/15 | OFFICIAL NEWS 2014/15 | DECEMBER 2014 | "I'm available"
"I'M AVAILABLE"
ZLATAN'S THOUGHTS BEFORE PSG-NANTES
Zlatan is available for tomorrow's game against Nantes, but he says that the pain in his heel is still there.
After resting in Wednesday night's match, you and PSG are up against Nantes on Parc des Princes tomorrow. Will you be in the lineup?
ZLATAN: "Yes, I'm available."
There are constant speculation about your injury problems. The last week we could read that your injury will trouble you for the rest of the season. How much is the injury really bothering you right and for how long do you think it will do so?
ZLATAN: "As I've said before, I'm not 100 % yet. I don't know when the pain will go away - but I'm working on it. The way I feel today is sufficient to be able to play matches."
If we instead focus on the match tomorrow. How are you going to handle FC Nantes with the league's third best defensive line statistically?
ZLATAN: "We will attack and play the game we do best."
Right now there are not much rest between matches, in just a month you have played nine. How much does the tight schedule affect the squad and the way you play?
ZLATAN: "We are used to it, but the coach rotates the team so there is a good balance although we have a tough schedule."

The Middle-earth mock transit notices that are sweeping the New York metro
August 15th, 2013 by Demosthenes
High Goblin Activity by William Puck.
Since January, a graphic artist going under the alias "William Puck", has been pasting mock travel notices all across the New York transit system. He's up to more than 200 different notices now, and they've all used a single theme — Middle-earth.
TheOneRing.net chatted with the mysterious Mr Puck to find out more about himself and his work. Read on, and discover what he had to say — and see some of the examples of his guerilla-style, street art as well.
TORn: Tell us a little bit about yourself. The cliff notes version, I guess, although I am sure you don't want to give away too much!
I grew up in Connecticut and came to New York City to go to art school back in the mid '80s. I studied illustration and animation. I've been here ever since.
TORn: Why "William Puck"?
I needed a street name for the work I was about to do. The MTA has a strict policy against anyone putting posters in the subways, so using my real name would have been unwise. I wanted a name that was short, identifiable and had a little bit of mischief to it.
I chose the name "Puck" from my favorite William Shakespeare play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. I was about to misdirect and baffle viewers just like Puck did. And for fun, I added William as my first name.
TORn: How long have you been working as a graphic artist?
I've been making art professionally for around 25 years or so.
TORn: How did you become interested in Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit? What drew you to them and what do you like about them?
For your safety... Watch our for Smaug! by William Puck.
I must have been around 11 years old. A close neighbor of ours had a copy of "The Hobbit" on vinyl and gave it to me to listen to. It was a four-album set read by the amazing actor, Nicol Williamson. I listened to it over and over again for about five months. I was hooked. Then the Rankin / Bass animated special premiered on TV in late November 1977. My eyes were glued to the set that night. The design of Gollum was fantastic and his voice — by Brother Theodore — was perfect! I started reading the books soon after, and I re-read them every few years or so. Now I love the films as well.
My love for the books stems from Bilbo's and Frodo's journeys. These two unassuming, gentle people are thrown into the biggest threat facing the world. By all logic, they should have been trampled and killed by the forces of evil. But their inner strength, compassion and friendship carry them through to the end, changing the course of the world for good. They give us the greatest gift there is — hope.

Consumers don't pay the true price of food at grocery stores and restaurants — the social, economic and health costs often aren't factored into the prices we see on receipts. But some companies — including many brands sold at PCC — are demonstrating that meeting global demands for food, making a profit and doing so sustainably are not mutually exclusive.
Our office has moved! Our new address is: 3131 Elliott Avenue, Suite 500, Seattle, WA 98121.
Under the DARK Act signed into law last month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has two years to set up a national standard for labeling genetically engineered food. Here's what it means.
It's election season, so what better way to get swept up in the excitement than with … broccoli? It's a seasonal treat from local farmers for just a short while — sweeter and less bitter than at other times of year — so we're eating it at all meals: tucking it into breakfast quiche, in salads for lunch, and in hearty stir-fries for dinner. We've selected a few of our favorite recipes.
This month our staff are raving about PCC deli's handmade guacamole and lamb burgers, new local goat cheeses from Sunny Pine Farm, collagen powder for healthy skin and hair, and more. Also, don't miss the first of the season's local, organic Honeycrisp apples, Bosc and Seckel pears, and Flavor Grenade pluots!
The new PCC store in Bothell opened in July. It features a rotisserie, a Mexican-style Taqueria, full-service meat and seafood counters, and a produce department that's 95-percent organic.
Hops have been the top emphasis for many local craft brewers. But hoppiness is not the only route to microbrew happiness, and a Skagit Valley company that is malting local barley, helped by university plant breeders, willing farmers and adventurous brewers, is poised to trigger a major change in our beer palate.

Q: Apache FOP - Arial I updated to the newest version of Apache FOP, because I've read the support of fonts has been improved.
Here is my configuration file (fop.xconf):
<fop version="1.0">

    <!-- Strict user configuration -->
    <strict-configuration>true</strict-configuration>

    <!-- Base URL for resolving relative URLs -->
    <base>./</base>

    <renderer mime="application/pdf">
        <fonts>
             <auto-detect/>
        </fonts>
    </renderer>
</fop>

which I use in the code:
private String configurationFile = "/fop/fop.xconf";
    ...
    Fop fop = FopFactory.newInstance(new File(getClass().getResource(configurationFile).toURI()))
                        .newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, pdfoutStream);

However, when I define Arial in the .xsl File
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" font-family="Arial" font-size="10pt">

I only get the following warning: Font "Arial,normal,400" not found. Substituting with "any,normal,400".
Am I missing/not seeing anything? I've tried to add a font-metric instead of using <auto-detect/>, but to no avail. Arial is an available font on my system.
Edit: Thanks, the duplicate thread was what I was seeking for! The way I configured the configuration file was incorrect.

Asia Business Development – Asia Business Consulting » What's Next in Multi-level Marketing
What's Next in Multi-level Marketing
In line with global economic trends, Multi-level Marketing (MLM) companies have shifted their focus from the West towards Asia and Emerging Markets. Asia's MLM market is estimated to be the world's largest. With Green and "healthy-lifestyle" products poised to become the next big thing in MLM, do the best days of Asian MLM lie ahead?
What is Multi-level Marketing?
Multi-level marketing (MLM), otherwise known as network marketing, evolved to reach out to customers who were either beyond the reach of conventional bricks and mortar retailers or who needed to be convinced face-to-face by someone they trusted to buy pricey, high involvement products.
The world's most successful MLM firms have been equally successful at two things. The first is creating products that people want to buy through network sales rather than other channels. The second is perfecting a process for recruiting, training and motivating sales representatives. From Avon to Tupperware, and Tahitian Noni Juice to Diamond Filtration, the reach of multi-level marketing has been astounding.
A well-established industry in OECD countries like the United States, United Kingdom and Australia, the industry has evolved and is becoming increasingly hard to ignore. In 2010, sales figures for MLM companies in the United States were USD24.8 billion, with leading market players Avon Products and Mary Kay accounting for 9.2% and 5.9% market shares respectively.
Multi-level marketing (MLM) can be described as having a pyramid-like structure. However, unlike disreputable pyramid schemes, MLM compensates sales persons only when new members sell products, and not for the recruitment of new members in and of itself.
Relying heavily on face-to-face communication and relationships, the MLM sales force typically uses one of two formats: the person-to-person and the party plan format . The former is favored in Asian countries such as Singapore and Malaysia. This form of direct selling typically requires the agent to discuss details with the customer on a one-to-one basis. On the other hand, the party plan format relies on one-to-many interaction in the setting of a party or event, so as to solicit sales and recruit new members "downline" in the multi-level marketing chain.
From Avon to Tupperware, and Tahitian Noni Juice to Diamond Filtration, the reach of multilevel marketing has been astounding.
Multi-Level Marketing in Asia and Emerging Markets
Encouraged by the success of multi-level marketing in OECD countries, MLM firms have shifted their focus to Asia in recent years. Their efforts have paid off. Asia registered USD 37 billion in MLM product sales in 2007, and is now the world's biggest region for multi-level marketing . Trailing behind are North America (USD 32 billion including Canada), Europe, Africa and the Middle East (USD 27 billion), Central America, Southern America and the Caribbean (USD 17 billion), and Australia and the Pacific (USD1.4 billion).
The success of multi-level marketing could partly be attributed to lower rates of urbanization and development in Asia. This means that more consumers with disposable income are living in small towns or even villages beyond the reach of big retailers. Enabling under-served rural consumers to buy "urban" consumer durables was among the biggest reasons why governments supported the growth of MLM in Brazil and Malaysia. In Brazil, the wide geographic penetration of multi-level marketing coupled with the booming Brazilian economy saw the market grow by 20% in 2010, with bullish forecasts for the next few years ; while the Malaysian government promoted a robust legal and regulatory framework to aid the movement of goods from urban to rural areas through MLM in the 1980s and 1990s.
MLM's success in Asia also comes from the strength of family networks. Asian families tend to be more cohesive geographically, with more instances of multiple generations co-residing in the same city, district or even house . This makes it easier for MLM sales persons to tap into familial networks to find customers, "downline" sales persons and referrals.
That said, the resilience of MLM lies in its versatility across economic booms and downturns. Its flexible structure allows for seasonal "employees", who are in fact micro-entrepreneurs, to draw an additional income stream not only in times of economic boom but also during recessions. In fact, anecdotal evidence from Singapore suggests that the sales force of MLM companies rose during the 2009 downturn as more people sought to supplement their income.
The extra income stream is particularly attractive to the silver-haired population. Best World, a publicly-listed nutritional supplement manufacturer in Singapore, specifically recruits older consumers to sell their products. Most of its consumers are in their 40s. Those aged over 55 make up more than a quarter of Best World's revenue.
In 2010, MLM companies in the United States sold USD24.8 billion worth of products.
Adapting to Trends for a Stronger Foothold in Asia
MLM companies have begun to offer health products that cater to the needs of increasingly health-conscious Asian consumers. Products such as NUTRILITE (Amway) and Herbalife have all made their way into the homes of the health conscious, each with stunning success.
Herbalife, a nutrition and weight-management company based in the United States, reported a 100% increase in net sales from 2006 to 2009 to USD 152.3 million since expanding its operations to more than 20 provinces in China.
Amway, too, has achieved great success in China and India with its NUTRILITE category hitting close to USD 4 billion in sales in 20105. Not only did NUTRILITE contribute largely to the overall category growth. The brand also executed a global awareness program ("Color Yourself Healthy") to promote the health benefits of plant ingredients.
Multi-level marketing in the booming Brazilian economy grew by 20% in 2010.
The Future of MLM in Emerging markets
Moving forward, the growth paths for MLM in Asia and Emerging markets are clear – products promoting Green (or eco-friendly) and healthy lifestyles.
Eco-consciousness has risen in many Asian cities, particularly among higher-income segments . Going forward, MLM brands are likely to arise around re-useable products and energy-saving household products to cater to the burgeoning eco-friendly customer segment. While this is very much a nascent trend, the success of products like fibre shopping bags point to how this could be a promising market.
Healthy lifestyle products are more of a traditional MLM staple. From air purifiers to home water filters to health supplements, there is still life in the health products MLM market. The next frontier here may well be smaller cities, towns and rural parts of emerging Asia. For example, India's healthcare industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the country. But only 25% of its population has access to Western medicine and most of these live in India's cities. Indians living in small towns will become a promising market for health-foods, supplements and devices.
That said, MLM firms have to tread with care in emerging markets. The biggest risk surrounds the reputation of the MLM industry. MLM is still perceived in some quarters as disreputable, and scandals erupt from time to time, usually when rogue firms cross the line between MLM and "pyramid selling." For instance, in 2009, James Phang Wah, the founder of Sunshine Empire (a direct selling company in Singapore) was found to have misappropriated more than SGD 180 million worth of funds. JU Network and We Best, two major MLM players in South Korea, were also involved in fraud scandals which led to their downfall. Governments are not insensitive to these risks, which explains why the China government took so long to develop something resembling a proper code of law and enforcement around MLM.
Fortunately for the industry, most Asian governments are improving their regulatory and educational frameworks around MLM. For example, the Singapore Government regulates all multi-level marketing activities through the Multi-level Marketing and Pyramid Selling (Prohibition) Act. The purpose of the act is to differentiate MLM from pyramid selling, and to inform the public to steer clear of illegal pyramid selling schemes. The Act was first passed in 1973, and was later amended in 2000 to expand and refine the definition of pyramid selling.
A second challenge is posed by the rise of online shopping, which has a huge and growing following in Asia. Many consumers would prefer the anonymity of online shopping in private to talking to an MLM representative. Furthermore, online shopping levels out the playing field as it facilitates price comparison. However even in countries with an extremely high penetration of online shopping, like South Korea, there are still substantial revenues in both MLM and TV home shopping, which shows how some segments of consumers (and seniors are likely to be prominent here) simply prefer a more involved, interactive selling experience.
Another note of caution surrounds urbanization. More than 50% of the world's population now lives in cities and by 2020, 70% of Asia's population will do so as well. As emerging Asia becomes more urbanized, the advantages of MLM in rural and semi-rural areas would decline. Hence, multi-level marketing companies should continue to evolve and reinvent themselves so as to remain relevant to the needs of urban consumers.
There is every reason to believe that MLM firms will continue to succeed in emerging markets, borne aloft by three trends – aging societies, health-consciousness and Green ideas.
Going forward, MLM brands are likely to arise around reusable products and energy-saving household products to cater to the burgeoning eco-friendly customer segment.


I was visiting fellow bloggers this morning, and stumbled upon Music Monday over at Always Me. (Sidenote – how did I miss this?!) I *love* music, so I thought it would be fun to give this link-up a try!
The Hamilton Polka. Tonight Show Style.
Some of you regular readers know that in addition to books, I love music. I even dedicated my Valentine themed TTT to music from the show Riverdale a few weeks ago. I'm also a huge Hamilton lover, both the fantastic music quotes and the fact that Hamilton has an answer for everything. I actually got to see Hamilton in Chicago last Wednesday when I was there for work. Seeing Hamilton after hearing the soundtrack a million times was AMAZING. I've been lost down the Hamilton rabbit hole (again) ever since.
The polka itself is great, but I think the best way to listen to it is this slightly shortened version from Jimmy Fallon that features Lin-Manuel Miranda and Weird Al lip synching it together. Seriously. Give it a watch.
← TTT: Read. Sleep. Repeat.
By the way, I love that song! I'd love to have the chance to see Hamilton some day.
I seriously don't know how I missed this feature on your blog. D'oh! I'm super excited about Monday's now!
If I get a time machine, my first stop is going to be Broadway to see the original cast perform Hamiton. I can't even imagine!


An investigation into viewers' trust in and response towards disclosed paid-for endorsements by YouTube lifestyle Vloggers.
Chapple, C. and Cownie, F., 2017. An investigation into viewers' trust in and response towards disclosed paid-for endorsements by YouTube lifestyle Vloggers. Journal of Promotional Communications, 5 (2).
This study investigates viewers' trust in and response towards disclosed paid-for endorsements by YouTube lifestyle vloggers. With the law now enforcing disclosure of sponsorship within vlogger endorsements, this research is topical. This study explored the credibility of lifestyle vloggers, viewers' attitudes towards paid-for endorsements and disclosure, and viewers' responses towards endorsements. The research employed a qualitative method and found that lifestyle vloggers are considered by their viewers as highly credible and influential individuals. Disclosure was seen to increase vlogger credibility, improving the acceptance of the endorsement message. This was however only seen where the viewer had a positive pre-existing relationship with the vlogger. Where the viewer did not have a positive pre-existing relationship with the vlogger, a perception of opportunistic behavior commonly arose in association with the paid-for endorsement. Thus, the research found the disclosed sponsorship can still be effective where the recipient is an avid viewer.

In Chrome you can open some apps like Google Docs in a new window rather than a tab, this is handy when you don't want to open your whole web browser and all your saved tabs just to open a single app.
The first thing we need to do is go to the extensions page in Chrome, to do this go to the Hamburger menu, go to More Tools, then Extensions.
Now you're in the extensions page, in this page every app and extension you have is listed, you need to find the app you want to open in a new window before we continue.
Once you have located the app you want to use simply click the details link, a window will open with information about the app, in that window there should be a drop down box with the default value of "Open as a tab", simply click on the drop down and change it to "Open as window"
Once you have changed the setting you can then click the X in the top right corner of the window.
If no drop down menu was present then the app you are using is not able to open in a new window.

Christchurch Crown prosecutor Heather McKenzie tells NZ Lawyer why the manager of Hotel des Mille Collines in Rwanda is on the list of people she'd like to meet.
I initially did a PhD in languages (French and Japanese) but was drawn to the profession or vocation of the law which I saw firsthand when my brother was admitted to the Bar. There was also the prospect of a more certain and secure job and income than I perceived there to be with an Arts degree (however rightly or wrongly). My first job as a Judges' Clerk at the Auckland High Court clerking for Baragwanath, Priestley, and Fogarty JJ further drew me into the law and by the time I reached the Christchurch Crown, I was far gone.
How long have you worked at the Christchurch Crown and what brought you to this position?
I've worked at the Christchurch Crown for three years, but it would have been six had it not been for the interruption of the Christchurch earthquake. In the three years in between, I worked for the Auckland Crown (two years) and Chapman Tripp (one year). I returned to the Christchurch Crown because I missed the prosecution work and its unique responsibilities and privileges; it is a wonderful office to be in if you want court experience and close mentoring, and, being my first job following clerking, returning after a tour of duty was like coming home to family. Plus there is a lot of talent at the office to learn from.
Steve Jobs - to learn how to listen to what customers want (not what you think they might or should want), how to turn a struggling business and sinking brand into a global success and household "must have," and while doing so make a fortune.
Bob Dylan – to get a glimpse into the mind of the man who wrote the world's most beautiful song, Sara.
I love C1 Espresso. It has a mellow atmosphere, good service, interesting people, and innovative food and drink - eg certain snacks such as fries shoot through pneumatic tubes to tables in capsules that keep people intrigued, and Golden Panther teas come in arty, collectible matchboxes with half to take home for later.
That attention is your greatest resource; sometimes you just have to walk away from a situation or circumstance or relationship or comment; and to get up earlier if you want more time. All three are a work in progress, particularly the last.
I am a competitive runner and have done a few Ironmans (not competitively, I sink in the water) and ultra marathons. I enjoy reading and Australian author Tim Winton is my current favourite. I also like going to the movies and looking at art, preferably in big cities. And I love New York and sausage dogs, though not necessarily together.

Fix Christchurch, but that would take more than one day. So I'd have to hope it was a particularly interesting day such as meeting Obama or the Queen.
I love 99% of it. Working at the Crown, each file is factually and legally interesting. There is great collegiality in the office and around the country as we all generally work for the same client, particularly in criminal matters where Police/Crown instruct the Crown Solicitor who holds the warrant for the particular geographic region. People generally aren't competing for the same client and you don't get the type of behaviour and protectiveness that can engender.
At the Christchurch Crown we are particlarly lucky to have partners generous with their time, supervision, and responsiveness to checking submissions or advice (ie you don't wait weeks to get work back); the level of responsibility prosecutors are given is right; the office is very collegial, non-competitive, and staff share knowledge and experience (perhaps helped, again, by us all essentially having the same client); and the coffee truck comes once a week.
And I guess I feel lucky to be prosecuting on behalf of the State. You can only do that for criminal matters if you work at a Crown Solicitor's office and it's a privilege.
I'd ask for more hours in the day. There is so much interesting work at a Crown Solicitor's firm and each case has its own unique factual and legal character – I wish I could do more. I also wouldn't mind a suite of Apple Macs and associated devices for prosecutors, but perhaps I could ask Steve Jobs about that at dinner.
