First, I really enjoy the prickly pear cacti in my neighborhood – that is, as long as I don't fall into a patch. Their paddle-shaped stems (the thorns are the leaves) often show up heart-shaped, and in season bear beautiful flowers which become the pear. After all our rains, I can hardly wait to see what the trails nearby have to offer.
Thoughts: Fraggie suggested a weekly post on the monthly subject. I will give it a shot for every Monday. That I think I can do without feeling depressed about my project and without feeling pressure from lack of time. My workday yesterday was out of the house at 8:00 a.m. and home at 7:30 p.m. I think you can see why time is not always available!

🙂 They are a great shape, but ouchy!
Ouchy, indeed! These are really obvious thorns – but others are really soft looking, and if you rub up against them, you are very unhappy.
Thanks, Eduardo. If I were really hungry, I could eat the whole cactus! I've had nopales mixed in with scrambled eggs, and the pears, too. Tuna, eh? I like that word!

Q: Is there a generally agreed upon definition of "satisfiability" for arbitrary logics? Well, in Boolean Logic it's pretty straight forward, a formula is satisfiable if there exists an interpretation which makes it True. But True here is one possible truth value out of two. In other logics we may have more, or potentially infinite truth values.
My intuition tells me that therefore there should be an ordering of the truth values, in such a way that we can talk about "definitely false" and "definitely true" and possibly whatever lies between. Are there any sources I can check to read up on this stuff?

A: To talk about "arbitrary logics" we need some kind of formalism describing what a logic is in the abstract. A very general definition would be

An abstract logic is a pair of sets $I$ and $S,$ and a relation $\models$ between $I$ and $S.$

Here, the elements of $I$ are called interpretations and elements of $S$ are called sentences and the relation $\models$ is called satisfaction. Then a sentence $\phi\in S$ is called satisfiable if there is an interpretation $\mathcal M\in I$ such that $\mathcal M\models \phi.$
So at this very high level of abstraction, we define our way out of the problem. So your question can be refined to asking if this formalism is applicable to more exotic logics than just classical propositional logic. Yes.

*

*In first order classical logic the interpretations are structures and satisfaction is defined via Tarski's inductive definition. (And this generalizes to higher order and infinitary classical logics.)

*In modal logic and intuitionstic logic, interpretations can be taken as Kripke frames and satisfaction of a sentence generally means that it holds at every world of the frame (where we then define "holds at a world" inductively on the structure of the formula).

*You allude to many-valued propositional logics. I should emphasize that many-valuedness is not by any means the only generalization (and the nonclassical logics in the above bullet are more important in my opinion$^*$). But yes, in many-valued systems it is usually the case that one of the values intuitively represents "true" and then satisfaction in an interpretation just means that it takes that truth value. Generally, logics where the interpretations assign formulas truth values that are linearly ordered between true and false are called fuzzy logics. Another example mentioned by Alessandro  in the comments, is Boolean-valued models where the truth values come from some fixed Boolean algebra, so are only partially ordered, although there is still a top value representing true.

$^*$Actually, intuitionistic logic can be considered to be a many-valued logic since there is a fixed Heyting algebra such that a sentence is intuitionistically valid if and only if any assignment of propositional variables into the algebra results in the sentence receiving the top value.

With back to school season officially underway, students from University of Cambridge in the UK have taken a different approach of getting funds for their education. According to the Cambridge News, A growing number of prospective students are trying the crowdfunding platform, GoFundMe to run campaigns for the upcoming school year.
The platform allows campaigners to present their project and ask for funding from the online community. At least 18 British, Australian, Swedish, Canadian and American students are trying to raise sums from £888 to £33,400 for a chance to study in Cambridge. In May, sources everywhere reported Cambridge University student Louis McBride's plan to raise £5,000 through GoFundMe to charter a helicopter to get him from his physics exam to his sister's wedding 125 miles away.
Following the success of McBride's campaign, eight more students started campaign for tuition to study at Cambridge. Discussing her reasoning to crowdfund, 23-year-old student Lisa Ann Wade admits due to her decision to major in a humanity, there was limited funding for art programs and competitive scholarships. She launched her campaign on July 21st to raise £8,500.
Also sharing details about her schooling, Wade revealed that after she turned to the Professional Career Development Loans (PCDL), she discovered she wasn't eligible for the maximum loan amount. This is due to the fact that during her time at school, she was working, which means she may only borrow up to 80 percent of their tuition cost.
California native, 22-year-old Cherise Glodowski, sent more than 50 letters to different companies and scholarship organizations asking for help in funding her studies. She has been preparing to study generic and stem cell research at the university, but has been struggle to raise the funds to get the school.

Echoes of the Ice Age
Nature & Wildlife 50' 2021 4K
Trailer Screener
Echoes of the Ice Age' is a portrait of the wildlife in this breathtaking scenery of the Berchtesgaden Alps. The echoe at Lake Königssee is world famous and it was made possible by the transforming forces of glaciers of the ice age.
In the Southeastern-most part of Germany, rises Mount Watzmann. This mighty peak is a stone guardian of a remarkable wild region that holds tight to its secret nature. There are more secrets to reveal where the mountains disappear into the depths of Lake Königssee, a lake that holds a stark resemblance to a fjord at the coasts of the Atlantic ocean. Underwater, fossil marine creatures in limestone rock tell of an ancient seabed, buried deep then heaved skywards by battling tectonic plates. Deep grooves and gouges in the rock were left by an ice age glacier, more than one kilometer thick as it chiseled its way down the valley. The glacier was one finger of a vast ice sheet that covered this alpine landscape. Though the ice age ended 12,000 years ago, the mountains still carry echoes of that frozen past.
The biodiversity of this region is protected by a National park. Alpine animals, such as the golden eagle, live here. The bird of prey was exterminated in these mountains. Today there are again almost 50 breeding pairs. Also, about 200 ibex roam the peaks of this alpine region. The alpine salamander usually comes out of his hiding place only late at night. The largest native orchid, which grows hidden in the forests at Lake Königssee, has giant flowers but does not offer nectar. Plenty of orchids thrive so magnificently here, because conditions in the woods at the lakeside are ideal, like in a primeval forest.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A 13-year-old boy was shot in the hand Tuesday when he confronted a police officer with a weapon that turned out to be a BB gun, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 4:15 p.m. when officer Aaron Ulman was responding to a report of a man chasing someone with a gun, said Capt. Steve McCool, spokesman for the Oklahoma City Police Department.
Ulman encountered a young man later identified as Fabian Gomez, 13, who had a bulge under his shirt near his waistline. Ulman ordered Gomez to put his hands in the air.
Instead, Gomez reached under his shirt and pulled out a gun, McCool said. Ulman fired his weapon, striking Gomez in the hand. The teen's weapon was later identified as a BB gun manufactured to look like a semiautomatic pistol.
Gomez was treated at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center and later charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.
Ulman was placed on routine administrative leave while the shooting is under investigation.
Six other juveniles were also arrested.
This incident marks the third officer-involved shooting in less than two weeks.

PHOENIX, Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Endexx Corporation announces that due diligence is complete and terms of the technology acquisition from Hayes Pharmacy Inc., are finalized. Endexx, in an all restricted common stock transaction, will purchase and acquire from Hayes Pharmacy Inc. (a Texas Corporation), the exclusive operating technology, intellectual property, marketing and ownership rights to all proprietary pharmaceutical/pharmacy compliance, controls, privacy, verification, Point of Service, taxation and operations platform. The platform is specifically designed to service the medical marijuana industry and long term chronic patient care with Schedule 2 and 3 drugs. The transaction is secured with five million shares of rule(144) restricted stock of Endexx Corporation. Upon satisfactory modifications and customizing of the system by Hayes Pharmacy Inc., lead by Chief Technology Engineer and co developer, Mr. J. Eric Mutter, to meet commercial grade performance standards and service capabilities to the specifications of the pharmaceutical industry and the medical marijuana industry requirements, a second five million rule(144) restricted common shares will be issued to complete the purchase transaction.
Endexx's acquisition partner Timothy Hayes RPH., states, "As a retail pharmacist in the pharmacy industry for 50 years, I recognize the value and importance of management services. The medical marijuana movement (MMM) is indeed experiencing a move from infancy to adolescence. As this development occurs management services are imperative to instill confidence and provide competence to the grower, the prescriber, the dispenser, the user, the tax authority and the regulator. The controls needed by each of these elements are mandatory to manage an industry in its "teen-age" years. I personally am very excited to play role in the growth and management of this still controversial industry. Having a relationship with the Endexx Corporation gives us an opportunity to quickly expand our functioning in all areas of the MMM. Sound investing should be based on scientific evaluation. Our approach through ENDEXX is to provide this science by means of management."
Mr. Hayes added, "Our platform will offer links to each of the elements of the industry to access information helpful in the efficient management of each quadrant. Accounting services, legal services, financial services, news and information, and many other beneficial issues will be available through the portal. Timing is of great essence in any endeavor. We are uniquely positioned because we address every issue objectively to accomplish our goals. Our program developers are on the cutting edge of technology and respond quickly to any changes in the political or regulatory scene with modifications to software for the benefit of each quadrant."
While the system is being modified and upgraded to meet the requirements of the Medical Marijuana Industry, Endexx will be preparing the new website, executive summary and business plan, branding and marketing systems, business and operational plans, and shareholder's awareness and education profiles.
CEO of Endexx, Todd Davis stated, "With Mr. Mutter and Mr. Hayes and their significant experience and expertise in the Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Technology and Solutions Industry, Endexx will aggressively develop an all encompassing, core platform for the Medical Marijuana Industry." Mr. Davis also stated, "Due to recent challenging economic times, this industry has attracted many highly talented business, scientific and entrepreneurial talents to an explosive economic business boom. Harnessing the talent the industry attracts and providing a collaborative platform for the entire industry will ensure its success over the long term. The industry is currently fragmented and chaotic and Endexx's mission is to provide an open architecture and modular platform for all viable technology innovations, business enhancements, collective political and community organization, and old fashioned American Capitalism."

Virginia's new governor hits "shallow tweets" at inauguration
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam. Photo: Win McNamee / Getty Images
"Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam [D] took some veiled shots at President Donald Trump as he was sworn in as the 73rd governor of the commonwealth, ... telling a crowd gathered in Richmond, 'You don't have to be loud to lead," per CNN.
From Northam's inaugural address: "It can be hard to find our way in a time when there's so much shouting, when nasty, shallow tweets take the place of honest debate, and when scoring political points gets in the way of dealing with real problems."
"Virginia has told us to end the divisiveness, that we will not condone hatred and bigotry, and to end the politics that have torn this country apart."

On the ubiquity of molecular anions in the dense interstellar medium
Results are presented from a survey for molecular anions in seven nearby Galactic star-forming cores and molecular clouds. The hydrocarbon anion C6H- is detected in all seven target sources, including four sources where no anions have been previously detected: L1172, L1389, L1495B, and TMC-1C. The C6H-/C6H column density ratio is greater than or similar to 1.0% in every source, with a mean value of 3.0% (and standard deviation 0.92%). Combined with previous detections, our results show that anions are ubiquitous in dense clouds wherever C6H is present. The C6H-/C6H ratio is found to show a positive correlation with molecular hydrogen number density, and with the apparent age of the cloud. We also report the first detection of C4H- in TMC-1 (at 4.8 sigma confidence), and derive an anion-to-neutral ratio C4H-/C4H = (1.2 +/- 0.4) x 10(-5)(= 0.0012% +/- 0.0004%). Such a low value compared with C6H- highlights the need for a revised radiative electron attachment rate for C4H. Chemical model calculations show that the observed C4H- could be produced as a result of reactions of oxygen atoms with C5H- and C6H-.

My interview with Elizabeth Amorose, Founder & Partner at Thinkso, a creative agency in New York City.
Ten years ago, businesses and marketers were starting to realize that the value of the Internet was its vast library-like ability to inform and entertain, and part of monetizing their web activities meant providing this content. Luckily, this is such a natural fit for Thinkso. Our mantra from Day 1 has been to give the content as much thought as we do the strategy and design. We've always written (we have full-time writers on staff) nearly every project we work on. I think this is what kept our agency humming along in 2008 and 2009 when so many were suffering.
A more general trend—very closely tied to the interwebs—is the sophistication of projects. Across the board, from consumers to clients, everyone expects more from a brand. Consumers are surrounded by a lot of great design and innovation, delivered to their desktop. (Mind you, they are still subject to a lot of really bad design too, but it creates context for the good design.) This translates into consumer expectations being way higher than they were 10 or even 5 years ago. An organization has to have all of its marketing and design "Ts" crossed and "Is" dotted to impress and retain a "loyal" customer. For us, as a creative agency, this means that the work we do has to be more creative, more sophisticated, and utilize more channels than ever before. Our clients' needs are great; therefore, we have to deliver more. (The only thing that hasn't gone up are the budgets. Wah wah.) I remember a time when we were designing sites without even thinking about a CMS. Now our website projects require responsive design using an open-source CMS integrated with social media and with Google Analytics baked in.
2. What do you think the impact of social media and user-generated content has had on design?
Social media has greatly affected content strategy and user experience design because it's no longer enough for a website to be a rich source of information. It also needs to provide timely, sound bite-level content that users can comment on and share. Social media has also created a new set of visual and utilitarian nomenclature that users expect from your site. I get annoyed when I'm looking for the Facebook "share" button on sites and am only provided with the option to "like" an article—or if the web designer decided to be different and make the LinkedIn button pink instead of blue. The standardization of visual language and placement can determine whether your blog post or site information is going to get shared or not.
Flat design is an aesthetic trend (with practical purposes, of course). So I'm not sure how long it's going to last. But it's organically been on our radar because it's the natural style of my business partner and our Creative Director, Brett Traylor. Just as I work with our writers to get them to use the fewest, simplest words to express the essence of a communication, Brett has always encouraged clean, clear, bold design. It's less for the mind to process (just like it's less for the smartphone to render). Our philosophy is there's enough information overload already; we don't need to make websites—or even brochures or ads—with lots of junk weighing down the communication. Of course, if we're designing a site for Game of Thrones action figures, we're not going to use flat design. First and foremost, we develop visuals that meet clients' marketing goals. But flat design can be a welcome differentiator in the B2B world; I expect to see a lot more of it in financial and professional services.
Responsive design is definitely very important and here to stay for the foreseeable future. I don't know why anyone would design a site today that isn't a responsive site. It wouldn't be a wise investment. Just as marketing channels have become so fragmented, so have Internet channels. Going back to that "higher expectations" thing, I get so annoyed when I can't buy the thing that I saw online at work on my iPhone when I'm on my way home from work. We also have to realize that for many audiences, a smart phone is all they have. This is certainly true for developing countries—and many of the first world countries outside of the U.S. And 25% of the traffic on our B2B clients' sites is coming from tablets. That's pretty considerable—especially considering the demographic using tablets is likely the most affluent and the decision makers. Mobile cannot be ignored or deprioritized and, in my view, responsive makes the most sense.
4. How has trauma in the global economy changed the branding or strategy or anything of financial services?
Financial services brands are demonstrating a lot more humility, I believe. I've noticed a lot less desire to chest beat, a lot more authenticity. I think this is a great thing, because it forces marketers to dig deep and find the real attributes to differentiate and sell with.
5. If you started a new brand tomorrow that was really future-proof, what would it be?
It would be a brand built on truth and authenticity. I think this is a timeless, foolproof strategy. Like people, companies and organizations need to be really honest with themselves. They need to identify what their weaknesses are and work on those, and they need to embrace what's real about them and let it shine. Brands get so watered down by companies being afraid to take a position or commit to their real personality. The sectors in which this is prevalent are the places there are real opportunities to be authentic, stand out, and yes, of course, make money.

Here, There & Away is a unique collection of entertaining stories from the families who support our service men and women. Spanning the three branches of the Australian Defence Force this is a literary first. The stories cover the period from World War I to more recent times, and celebrate the love, care and support given by and to members of the wider defense family as well as the resilience required in diverse locations and situations. Some stories will tug at the heart strings while others are funny in the extreme. Many touch on significant historical events. There are a number of stories that will surprise and enlighten - all within a gentler context than the normal genre of military history. The reader will be left pondering and maybe even enticed to further explore some aspects of Australian military history. The stories in Here, There & Away poignantly depict the ups and downs of everyday life for military families in times of war and peace, but they also reflect many aspects of life experienced by the wider community. This collection is an important contribution to Australian social and military history, and an entertaining and uplifting book for readers of all ages.

Call on WHO to send medical teams to Iran; urging physicians and nurses to help the people
Last evening, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), expressed her sympathies with fellow compatriots effected by Coronavirus (COVID-19).
She said the mullahs' regime had been aware of the spread of the virus to Iran long time ago. But on the order of the regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, it resorted to a cover-up to ensure a high turnout for the anniversary of the 1979 revolution and the sham election. The virus rapidly spread to different parts of Iran because people were kept in dark.

Ignoring people's lives & well-being, the criminal mullahs covered up #Coronavirus cases in a bid to bring crowds for the Feb. 11 revolution anniversary & the sham election. Now, the virus has rapidly spread across the nation because people were kept in the dark #Iran

Mrs. Rajavi again called on the World Health Organization, WHO, to dispatch supervisory and medical teams to Iran. She also urged Iranian physicians and nurses to advise and assist the people to confront the virus. She emphasized that the regime must put medical resources monopolized by the mullahs and the IRGC at the disposal of the people, hospitals and physicians.
Replying to @Maryam_Rajavi

Meanwhile, this morning, with utter cruelty and ruthlessness, Khamenei refrained from even nominally expressing sympathy with the victims of the virus. Without even mentioning COVID-19, he said this was an excuse to urge people to boycott the election. "In the last two days, the pretext of an illness and virus was used, and their media did not miss the slightest opportunity to discourage people from voting not even several hours," Khamenei said. Of course, as far as the Iranian people are concerned, the despicable rule of the mullahs is the real Coronavirus, and the root cause of the Iranian people's pain, suffering and difficulties, and must be uprooted.
Whereas the Ministry of Health, Khamenei, Hassan Rouhani, and other regime leaders were aware of the spread of the virus to Iran at least one month ago, the first directive to deal with it was reluctantly issued to the provinces on February 20. Today, the Health Minister admitted that the virus had entered Iran from China and carried by people who travelled there. While most countries have canceled flights to China, IRGC's Mahan Air flights to China have continued.

Q: Taylor expansion of a matrix to scalar function Consider a matrix $A$ and its characteristic equation
\begin{equation}
\Phi(A) = \sum_{k=0}^n c_k(A) \lambda^{n-k}.
\end{equation}
$c_k$ can be worked out in many ways but one is a recursive method derived from the Fadddeev-LeVerrier algorithm:
\begin{equation}
c_k(A) = -\frac{1}{k}\sum_{i=0}^{k-1} \operatorname{Tr}[A^{k-i}]c_i(A).
\end{equation}
I would like to Taylor expand $c_k$ around a small perturbation of $A$.
I have read here (https://mathoverflow.net/questions/139643/taylor-expansion-of-a-function-of-a-matrix) that the formula for this to first order is
\begin{equation}
f(A+\epsilon B) = f(A) + \epsilon f'_A(B) + \mathcal{O}(\epsilon^2)
\end{equation}
but I do not know what the notation `$f'_A(B)$' means.
I have tried to apply this to $c_k$ and, guessing that we can use the product rule, get to
\begin{equation}
c_k(A+\epsilon B) \simeq c_k(A) -\frac{\epsilon}{k} \sum_{i=0}^{k-1} \operatorname{Tr}[A^{k-i}]'_A(B) c_i(A) + \operatorname{Tr}[A^{k-i}]c_i(A)'_A(B).
\end{equation}
I have looked online for notes on how to do this but can't find anything.
Questions:

*

*Do you have a reference for the equation Taylor expansion equation that explains it?

*Can you help finish the Taylor expansion of $c_k(A)$?
Thank you.

A: Let $H\in M_n$ be a small matrix. Then $c_k(A+H)\approx c_k(A)+Dc_{k}(H)$ where the last term is given by the recurrence formula:
$Dc_0(H)=0;k\geq 1\implies Dc_{k}(H)=-1/k\sum_{i=0}^{k-1}((k-i)tr(A^{k-i-1}H)c_i(A)+tr(A^{k-i})Dc_{i}(H))$.

This Is Probably The BMW X2 In Production Form
This Is Probably The BMW X2 In Production Form product 2017-07-04 13:29:07 https://www.motor1.com/news/151127/bmw-x2-production-patent-drawings/ BMW Breaking, luxury
Share on Facebook173
Another coupe-SUV mashup is upon us.
You don't need a crystal ball to figure out how the road-going BMW X2 is going to look like as all you have to do is check out the namesake concept and dial down the styling by 25 percent or so. Seen here are patent drawings registered with the Japanese bureau on February 22 and published yesterday showing what could very well be the production-ready version.
More Powerful BMW X2 M35i Caught Almost Completely Undisguised
Consider Yourself Warned: BMW Allegedly Pondering X2 Convertible
Cheaper BMW X2 Coming To U.S. With Front Wheel Drive
The changes the final X2 has been subjected to are exactly the ones you would expect. Gone are the slender side mirrors of the showcar from Paris as instead the crossover now gets a chunkier set providing a better view of what's behind. The front bumper is less aggressive and is now in line with BMW's typical offerings in the crossover segment, as it's the case with the shape of the headlights no longer as sleek as the concept's clusters.
Unsurprisingly, conventional door handles have been added while those cannon-like exhaust tips of the concept had to make way for a more humble setup. The production taillights appear to be bigger and have a more square shape. Keen observers will notice the indentation in the rear quarter panels for the BMW logo has been carried over, though it's missing the badges.
Overall, the first-ever X2 will stay true to the concept before it. BMW has actually made the promise its new Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) will remain pretty much faithful to the 2016 showcar.
The X1's sportier-looking sibling will go on sale in 2018, but a full reveal is expected to take place in the following months. Our money is on the Frankfurt Motor Show scheduled for September.
It's not the only new member of the "X" family as the Bavarians are also cooking up a big and luxurious X7 destined to be shown in production guise at some point in 2018.

Q: Python Class variable can be modified or not depending on its type I was taking a look at the python tutorial(https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html) and found that if you modify a class variable by an object, it will be modified for all the objects. However, I made the following test and found that depending on the type of the variable it might or might not be modified for example if it is a list it gets modified but if it is a string it is not. Do you have any explanation for that. Here is the example:
class Car(object):
    condition = "new"
    add=[]
    def __init__(self, model, color, mpg):
        self.model = model
        self.color = color
        self.mpg   = mpg
    def modCar(self,mod):
        self.condition=mod
    def addItem(self,item):
        self.add.append(item)

new = Car("DeLorean", "silver", 88)
old = Car("Mercedes","black",30)

old.modCar("old")
print(new.condition)
print(old.condition)

old.addItem("old")
print(new.add)
print(old.add)

And the output:
new
old
['old']
['old']

Thanks

The Facebook *Controversy*- Somervell County Hospital District 7/2014
2 August 2014 at 2:47:20 PM
The opinions expressed below are STRICTLY my own and nobody elses
I don't personally care about Facebook. I think it's a pretty awful type of social media, particularly was disgusted recently when I read that Facebook was manipulating people's emotions through an unauthorized experiment. I also think the fact that the hospital is paying to fix up their website so that there is ONE place to look for all the activity, including minutes, video, audio, information about the hospital, etc, that that is a great use of taxpayer money, and there is no requirement that people who don't want to have an account have to get one just to look at public data. The same can't be said for Facebook, which, in its terms of service, lets you know they plan to take your data and sell it to advertisers, etc; every thing you post or discuss or like is fodder for compiling a profile of you so that you can be primed to buy stuff. A lot of people do care about Facebook, however,and to me, the line that has to be drawn is when someone who represents a taxpayer entity engages in partisan political activity. That happened during the hospital district formation election. Here was a post Paul Harper did, on Somervell County Salon, in May 2014, before the election, where he did an open records request to the hospital asking for Glen Rose Medical Center Facebook logs. I recall at the time that the person who was in charge of posting to the Glen Rose Medical Center had engaged in partisan activity, using Facebook to take a position WHILE THE ELECTION SEASON was going on. I requested the email that Mr Harper sent to the board this week that includes screen shots of what was done. Following is that email.
From: Paul Harper
Sent: 8/1/2014 9:28 AM
To: Dr. Karen Burroughs; Ron Hankins; Brett Nabors; Chip Harrison; John Parker
Cc: Ray Reynolds (rreynolds@grmf.org)
Subject: GRMC Facebook political activity
Just for the record...here's an example of what I described last evening.
Quick reference for supreme court ruling on the issue: http://www.texasemploymentlawblog.com/2013/09/articles/retaliation-1/facebook-like-political-speech/
" The court equated the "likes" as the equivalent of putting up a political sign in your yard"
and here is the attachment that was in that email in a DOC file,document properties show this was created 3/3/2014 at 4:12 pm.
Here we have a screen shot of the local newspaper facebook page where there are comments about the Hospital District election.
Now here are a couple screen shots of the Official Glen Rose Medical Center Facebook Account liking the political comments from that same page above thereby participating in political discussion (the Texas Supreme Court has ruled that Facebook likes are speech).
I'm sure anyone that looks at this can see what the fool the problem was. Should a public, taxpayer entity be taking sides during an election and using ANY social media to promote a partisan position? Heck, if someone had some deep pockets, they could sue that the election was flawed because there was an effort to taint or slant the election one way or another BY THE ENTITY INVOLVED. I suspect also that GRMC could lose its 501c3 status for engaging in political activity. So, at least to me, anyone that wants to say that Mr Harper was not in the right to be concerned about this going on, is flat out wrong.
There's also a kind of hilarious irony here. GRMC was not initially making sure that THEY saved, backed up, deleted, etc the Facebook page. In fact, as you see above, Mr Harper asked them for their electronic logs and they didn't even know how to do them. This shows that GRMC had zero concern for anything involving the Texas Open Meetings Act or the Texas Public Information Act nor any concern about whether they were jeopardizing the non-profit status of the hospital. And it's pretty obvious that NO ONE involved with the hospital was trained on how seriously to take the position of posting WHATEVER on social media.Oh, but NOW they are. Well, GOOD. They SHOULD be. This is not trivial.
I certainly hope that the person who is charge of the Facebook page gets training on the Texas Open Meetings Act and Texas Public Information Act, as well as instruction on being a non-profit, so that he or she can be sure that they are not violating Texas law. It isn't like you or me having a FB page and doing whatever, it's a whole different ball of wax.

Apparent TOMA Violation by Margaret Drake and Steven Vaseck at Somervell County Hospital District Meeting
Latest on Glen Rose Medical Center Lab Outsourcing from Dec 5 2019 Somervell County Hospital District Meeting


Like many Arizonan's Don Nelson and Bona Jordan found their way to Arizona, seeking affordable housing and low altitude in hopes of improving Don's health.
Don, who is 60, suffers from COPD, asthma and chronic pain. The one-time software architect, could no longer drive to work, sit in an office all day or concentrate because of constant, excruciating pain. Don says, "My work just wasn't up to par because of my health. I needed to find a way to use the creative side of my brain to provide some supplemental income for my wife and myself".
In 2017, Don and Bona settled in Ajo, Arizona, a former copper-mining town in southern Arizona. Here they found a way to use their creativity and artisan talents to supplement their income, Don as a photographer and Bona in beading and as a seamstress.
The couple live modestly at the historic Curley School Artisan Apartments, a low-income housing community designed to attract artists to Ajo in an effort to drive economic development.
Bona is on Social Security and Medicare, however, at Don's age, he is not eligible for social security and has applied for disability. Don says, "the high-cost of health insurance was impossible, especially with my pre-existing health conditions. I am so fortunate that just when it seemed there were no health insurance options available, I was surprised to learn about AHCCCS from medical professionals. They even helped me apply".
Today, because of AHCCCS Don is receiving the care he needs to address his chronic health conditions with most of the medications he needs. He says, "It has been a blessing, I could not afford the proper treatments and the cost for medication was outrageous without insurance".
Don and Bona both say that they are now able to live with dignity and not have to worry about choosing between buying food or health insurance.

SUPREME Court Judge, Justice D Y Chandrachud, has given a thoughtful and lucid talk on 'Speaking Truth To Power: Citizens And The Law' on the occasion of the Justice M C Chagla Memorial Lecture.
In an erudite analysis of the relationship between truth and democracy and the role of citizens in speaking truth to power, Justice Chandrachud says: "Democracy needs the power of truth to survive. As such one can consider 'speaking truth to power' as a right every citizen must have in a democracy, but equally as also the duty of every citizen".

Halt this Sell Out!
CAMOUFLAGED in jargon that speaks of 'monetisation of de-risked assets', the BJP-led NDA government has announced its plan to sell out India's public sector. In that plan, assets ranging from roads, ports, airports and railway track and stations, through fuel pipelines, telecom towers, optical fibre cabling, warehouses, and stadia, are to be handed over to big private investors in return for upfront or staggered payments of around Rs 6 lakh crore over a four year period ending financial year 2025.

In the Mirror Image of the Taliban
THE everyday violence against Muslims is showing a disturbing pattern. In the month of August, there have been at least four recorded cases of gratuitous violence against Muslims in the streets of some cities and small towns in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The targets of such attacks were poor Muslims such as street vendors, auto rickshaw drivers and even beggars.

Pegasus: Cyberweapon for Authoritarianism
The chronology suggests new security collaboration initiated with Israel during NSO Ajit Doval's visit in March, 2017 preparatory to Modi's visit
THE Pegasus spyware scandal is not just a case of violation of privacy, or illegal surveillance or snooping by security agencies. It is all that, and much more. The Pegasus is military grade spyware which takes surveillance and hacking to a new level altogether. The bigger picture must not be obscured.

Afghanistan: India in an Unenviable Position
THE situation on the ground in Afghanistan is changing fast. With the US troop withdrawal more or less complete, the last few weeks have seen the Taliban advancing all across the country. The Taliban have claimed that 85 per cent of the territory is now under their control. But whether this is actually the case, the fact remains that the speed of the Taliban advance, particularly in the northern region, has taken everyone by surprise.

Rafale Scandal Resurrects
THE opening of a judicial probe in France on June 14, 2021, into suspected 'corruption', 'influence-peddling', 'money laundering', 'favouritism and undue tax waivers' surrounding the €7.87 billion Rafale-India deal has given new life to a major scandal that the Narendra Modi government has done its best to cover up. The decision of the French National Financial Prosecutor's Office (the parquet national financier or PNF) to support the opening of a judicial investigation into the deal was based on a complaint by Sherpa, an anti-corruption French NGO.

Toronto mayoral debate on development
Wit and barbs between candidates brightens up debate
(Written for the Town Crier Sept. 16)
Mayoral candidate Rob Ford, "It's hard to miss 300 lbs of fun" he said at debate. Photo by Kris Scheuer/Town Crier.
A few dozen people attended a somewhat lackluster mayoral debate focused on development issues.
Understandably debate's organizers, the Building Owners and Managers Association, tailored their questions to issues about development charges, commercial property taxes and over-regulation of the industry.
But what made the Sept. 16 debate more lively was the banter, digs and comments between Joe Pantalone, Sarah Thomson, Rob Ford, Rocco Rossi, George Smitherman, considered to be the frontrunners in the race for mayor.
When candidates were asked what they would do in the first 100 days in office to address spending, Ford was inadvertently passed by.
"You missed me. It's hard to miss 300 pounds of fun," Ford joked.
He proceeded to talk about how in the first 100 days in office he'd abolish the land transfer and vehicle registration taxes, reduce councillors' office budgets from $50,000 to $30,000 and cut the mayor's office budget by $500,000.
Pantalone responded, "I'm here to build the city not start tearing it down." Then Pantalone repeated one of his favourite lines that his opponents are all mini-versions of former Ontario Premier Mike Harris and calling Thomson "Michelle Harris".
Rossi quipped, "Pantalone is fond of calling us mini-Mike Harrises. He is Miller Light."
Joe Pantalone hopes three decades at city hall will help him get elected as mayor. Photo by Kris Scheuer/Town Crier.
Former Liberal MPP Smitherman attacked Rossi's plan to extend the Allen Expressway with an underground tunnel from Eglinton West down to the waterfront.
But Rossi defended his idea.
"All I have called for is a study. Like others, I am fed up with gridlock and traffic and the impact it has on the economy and productivity."
Ford, who heads up his family's business Deco Labels & Tags, spoke fondly about the fact he's has business experience.
"I'm a proud businessman. To some profit is a dirty word — not to me," said Ford.
Pantalone pointed out the city froze development charges for two years and there are 100 construction cranes in the Toronto proving something must be working.
One of the most interesting questions of the debate was about choosing an opponent who they would be willing to work with. The example used was when Barack Obama became president of the U.S. in 2008, he choose Hilary Clinton as his secretary of state. This is despite the fact Obama and Clinton ran against each other as democrat presidential nominees.
So who is your Hilary?
Pantalone pointed out it was a moot point as a mayor can't appoint a non-elected council member to their executive team. But in theory he'd pick Smitherman.
Smitherman would pick Pantalone because of his experience of three decades at city hall.
Thomson would choose Rossi because he's not afraid to put new ideas out there.
Rossi choose Thomson saying that, "Sarah brings an incredible energy and like me comes from the outside. For 100 years we haven't elected a mayor who wasn't from (city) council."
Ford also named Thomson saying while she lacked political experience, she did have business experience that impressed him.
So in the end, Thomson remarked "I think I won".
Smitherman piped up, "It's kind of a booby prize, so if you think you won that says a lot about your expectations."
"That was mean," Thomson retorted.

I feel like not much got done, but I'm sure that's not true. It is true that we stayed home most of the month, spending a lot of time walking around the neighborhood, visiting the beach, seeing family and having friends visit, and working. June involved lot's of working. We tried to see some new NJ spots, and take care of our little family.
Since it seems like I was writing about May only 5 minutes ago, I'll let the pictures do the talking.
