I was just making preparations for the top 2011 posts I'm planning to write in the upcoming days when I bumped into this cute story about a diabetic kid who felt ashamed to wear the insulin pump so his parents got insulin pump tattoos.
Some parents get tattoos of their child's name, but Philippe Aumond and Camille Boivin went one better.
In a show of solidarity, they each have an image of an insulin pump tattooed on their abdomens, declaring that they are "forever linked" to their son Jacob.
"It is a great thing for him, and we were thrilled just to see his smile when he saw those pumps. It made our day, that's for sure," said Boivin, 36, from the family's home in La Sarre, Que.

Rhyming History: Russia Repeats USSR's Errors
Far from being a resurgent power, Putin's Russia is falling into many of the same traps that brought down the Soviet Union.
By Zachary Keck for The Diplomat
Although Chinese leaders have studied the Soviet Union's collapse obsessively, their Russian counterparts don't appear to have the same interest in modern history. Indeed, even as Vladimir Putin seeks to reestablish Russia as a great power, , Moscow is increasingly falling into the same traps that brought down the Soviet Union.
First among them is a complete neglect of the economic foundations of power. While military power may be the ultimate currency in world politics, the strength of a nation's military is little more than an extension of its economic might (at least over the long-term.) Thus, sea-faring, trading nations like Britain in the 19th and 20th century and the U.S. since the 20th century have enjoyed long reigns as global powers. By contrast, as Paul Kennedy famously argued, military powers that don't keep their fiscal house in order don't remain military powers for very long.
The Soviet Union is a case in point. Although the brutal policies of Joseph Stalin made the USSR into an industrialized country, and the economy grew at fast or respectable rates through the 1960s, the inefficiencies of the system meant that, among other things, the Kremlin went from being the world's largest grain exporter to its largest importer. This required the Soviet Union to acquire hard currency to feed its population, which—owing to the poor quality of the Soviet economy—could only be obtained by exporting natural resources. This was sustainable during the record-high oil prices of the 1970s and early 1980s, but once oil prices began bottoming out in the late 1980s due to greater Saudi production, the Kremlin was forced to borrow heavily from abroad to feed its populace. This proved unsustainable in the long-term.
Not much has changed since the Soviet days in Russia.
Indeed, far from diversifying away from natural resource exports, Russia under Putin has grown more dependent on them (relative to the 1990s). As a December 2012 report from the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development noted gloomily, "Not only are Russian exports highly concentrated in natural resources, this concentration has increased over time: the shares of oil, gas and other minerals in Russia's exports are higher today than they were 15 years ago."
The report went on to point out:
"In 2012 Russia remains highly dependent on its natural resources. Oil and gas now account for nearly 70 percent of total goods exports…. Oil and gas revenues also contribute around half of the federal budget. The non-oil fiscal deficit has averaged more than 11 per cent of GDP since 2009, while the oil price consistent with a balanced budget is now in the region of US$115 per barrel and rising."
Thus, Russian power since the Cold War has corresponded directly with the price of oil. When energy prices were low in the 1990s, Moscow's economy was in a state of shambles and the West trampled all over Moscow. Since energy prices began rising last decade Russia has seen its power and presence on the world stage increase as well.
The crux of the issue for Putin and Russian leaders, however, is that energy prices won't remain high forever. Indeed, there is good reason to believe they will drop in the years of ahead.
To begin with, many of the leading energy consumers are investing in greater energy efficiency, which will eventually reduce the growth in demand. Supply will also expand considerably as more North American unconventional sources come to market and Iraq's full potential is tapped. Other events could potentially cause a further drop in energy prices; for example, a resolution of the Iranian nuclear crisis.
Russia is dutifully unprepared for this eventuality. As the EBRD report cited above noted, the business environment and level of competition in Russia have not improved despite token top-down efforts to do so. As a result, far from attracting foreign direct investment as other BRIC countries have, capital flight out of the country totaled more than US$80 billion in 2011. The report further observes that although Russian leaders have touted the importance of high-technology sectors in the information age, they have failed to invest in the education and training necessary to bring about innovations.
Another well-known deficiency of the Soviet model was its excessively high defense spending, which some estimate at times consumed as much as 40 percent of the Soviet budget and 15-20 percent of its GDP. This excessive defense spending was driven, at least in part, by the Kremlin's overly-militarized identity as a great power.
Since reassuming office, Putin has seemed determined to replicate this failure. Before Putin even returned, Moscow increased its military spending by 16 percent in 2012, even as other countries cut back. The US$90 billion it spent on defense in 2012 was more than it invested in education. Meanwhile, Putin has pledged to spend an additional US$755 billion over the next decade on modernizing the Russian armed forces. Even before this announcement, however, Russian military spending was expected to increase from about 2.3 trillion rubles (US$78.8 billion) in 2011 to just under 4 trillion rubles (appx.US$125 billion) in 2015.
Demographics are one key area where the Soviet Union and Russia differ. Whereas the Soviet Union was burdened by a growing population (particularly increasingly urban one), Russia has been beset by population decline since 1992. In its Global Trends 2030 report released in December of last year, the U.S. National Intelligence Council forecasted that Russia's population would decline by 10 million people by 2030, more than any other country during that time span. The UN similarly expects that by 2050, Russia's population will have dropped 30 million people below 2000 levels. Although vowing to reverse current trends—which there are some signs is occurring to a point—Putin himself warned last year that Russia's population could drop to just 107 million by 2050, from about 143 million at the time of the speech.
In all these ways, then, Russia hardly appears to be resurging.

At the Assembly
[ Back to Gifts from the Communion ]
A Gift from the Mount of Olives
Since 2000, proceeds from
Beit Jala-produced olive oil are contributing to the Augusta Victoria Hospital finances.
Each year, Augusta Victoria Hospital (AVH), located on the Mount of Olives, East Jerusalem, receives a special gift. Oil pressed from fruits of the 800 olive trees on the property is used on patients or as income to offset AVH's operational costs.
Olive oil from the AVH will be used at two healing services during the LWF Tenth Assembly. For the anointing, a minister will dip his or her thumb in oil and make the sign of the cross on the forehead of each person who has come forward for this gesture of healing.
The AVH is operated by the LWF through its Department for World Service (DWS) program in Jerusalem. In 2000 LWF/DWS-Jerusalem began a project to produce bottled olive oil for sale to AVH visitors. The bottles are made from hand-blown glass in Hebron, and the olive oil is produced in a press in Beit Jala near Bethlehem. The income from some 130 bottles of olive oil sold in the first year was enough to cover expenses and make a small donation to the LWF for the hospital.
A second project started in 2001 focuses on the need to continue planting new olive trees on the property. For a specific donation, individuals, churches or organizations could have a tree planted on the Mount of Olives, with a commemorative plaque stating the donor's wishes.
A third project launched in 2002 provides individuals, churches or organizations with an opportunity to donate a gallon of olive oil toward AVH patients' needs. The hospital primarily uses the oil on many local dishes served to patients. In Palestine olive oil is a gift of life and health.

A Feminist Handbook for Ruining Your Life
By: Heather Wilhelm
One of the biggest bummers about writing about modern feminism is that you eventually run out of clever headline variations on "RUN! HIDE! Feminism is Ruining Your Life!" Despite this endless challenge, and with this review of Rebecca Traister's new book, All the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an Independent Nation, I shall attempt to soldier on.
First, a disclaimer: There is nothing wrong with being a single lady. Being a single lady can be great! Unfortunately, despite its arresting title, All the Single Ladies is not really, deep down, about single ladies. It's not about being "all up in the club," or shaking it like Beyonce (who got married at twenty-six), or scheduling a fun spur-of-the-moment girls' trip to Ibiza, or reading quietly by yourself, or even, many years down the road, dispensing wise old-woman aphorisms—and maybe even some covert, under-the-table, traditional Native American hallucinogens—at a corner table at some spa in Sedona.
This is disappointing, I know. However, you'll be even more disappointed when you learn what All the Single Ladies is really about. It is summarized, rather neatly, with this one simple excerpt:
The forced dependence of increasing numbers of single people on each other may hearken back to a lost feminist project: the socialization of care and domestic duty…The state must play its role in supporting a population that no longer lives and dies within family units.
I like to use Post-Its when reviewing books, and I hastily scrawled this one immediately after reading those two sentences, just to sum things up:
Feminism On Top Of Marxism
I kid, I kid! Sort of. Not really. As we'll discuss later, beneath its "girl power" triumphalism, All the Single Ladies shakes out, in the end, as a call for soft Marxism with an ill-fitting feminist bow. But the book has many more problems than that—many, many more—so let's tackle those first.
All the Single Ladies shakes out, in the end, as a call for soft Marxism with an ill-fitting feminist bow.
Single women, as Traister rightly points out, have historically inspired significant change in America, and continue to do so today, with singlehood exploding all over the map. The statistics are stunning. "Today, only around 20 percent of Americans are wed by age twenty-nine, compared to the nearly 60 percent in 1960," Traister writes; in 2012, she notes, unmarried women formed 23 percent of the electorate. In the early nineties, the average marriage age rose above the average age of first birth, and "about 60 percent of American women who have their first babies before they're thirty have them out of wedlock. Forty-one percent of all births are to unmarried women."
This is all very interesting, with fascinating political implications, so it's a bit of a shame that the history and statistics presented in All the Single Ladies often accompany various deep dives into freshman dorm-room insanity. Here's one of my favorite lines, which is fairly emblematic of the book as a whole: "The consumerist cycle both depended on and strengthened capitalism, and thus worked to allay other postwar anxieties about nuclear attack and communism, both of which had been linked to fears about the power of women's sexuality run amok."
Like, woah. Right on, man! Or, as I wrote on yet another Post-It note:
A Transactional Life?
Despite its enlightened, nonjudgmental mask, All the Single Ladies often offers a brisk walk through a forest of caricatures. "Conservatives," for instance, are "mad" and "threatened" by "powerful single women"—here, as examples of powerful single women, Traister lists Anita Hill, Sandra Fluke, Lena Dunham, and, I'm not joking, Murphy Brown, who is not a real person. Conservatives are also on a constant mission, we are informed, to "support a male-dominated paradigm of power." This came as news to me! Also, we are told, pro-marriage types are "always going to be threatened by the possibility that women might engage satisfyingly with their careers." This also surprised me, because I'm not a man, and let me tell you, this book review sure as heck didn't write itself.
Traister quotes various young ladies vowing to fight off "dirty dishes and suburbia," certain their careers will evaporate the minute they're yoked to a dastardly man.
Old-school, traditional marriage, writes Traister, was often "energy-sucking" and "identity-sapping," leaving its female victims "contained, subsumed, and reduced by domesticity." Here's the weird thing, though: If you read All the Single Ladies with a straight face, you can be forgiven for thinking that nothing's changed since the 1950's. Traister quotes various young ladies vowing to fight off "dirty dishes and suburbia" or "making casseroles in winter until we die," certain their careers will evaporate the minute they're yoked to a dastardly man.
When you're single, Traister writes, you can have a fuller, more complicated life: "It's not such a bad thing to always have something to do, someone to meet, work to complete, trains to catch, beers to drink, marathons to run, classes to attend." News flash, ladies: It's 2016! You can do this and be married, too! I should know, by the way—I got married at 22. I have had a great deal of fun and career success since then, and even lived in Traister's own New York City for a while, where concerned citizens would routinely ask if I was a child bride.
Traister is correct to argue that no single life formula works for every woman; she's also correct that young women are wise to support themselves financially. But beyond a few bright spots, there's a sad transactional view of life that floats through All the Single Ladies—a Marxist view that tends to eschew love, meaning, or sacrifice altogether. "Cities allow us to extract some of the transactional services that were assumed to be an integral, gendered aspect of traditional marriage," Traister writes, in one instance, "and enjoy them as actual transactional service, for which we pay."
Won't Somebody Think Of The Children?
Don't worry, it gets more depressing: "We don't often consider that even in the very best case scenario, in which we bind ourselves to someone we love madly and reciprocally forever and ever," Traister notes, after listing the disasters that can befall starry-eyed or even cynical lovers, "we are making a sad bet when it comes to the rest of our lives. Because short of simultaneous expiration, marrying even happily leaves us with a fifty-fifty change of dying last."
It is rare that I am speechless; here, I had to set the book down, wish I was on an all-inclusive vacation with lots of free margaritas/complimentary therapeutic bongo drum.
It is rare that I am speechless; here, I had to set the book down, wish I was on an all-inclusive vacation with lots of free margaritas/complimentary therapeutic bongo drums, blink a few times, and read that segment again. The raw consumerism here—consumerism applied to people, treating them as products, and asking "What have you done for me lately?"—is breathtaking. So it should surprise no one, I suppose, that Traister also applauds the latest trends in single motherhood, even as they wreak havoc among the poor and working class.
The social science is not blurry here: Children do far better in two-parent families. All The Single Ladies, however, is not concerned with children. "In this new connubial world," as Traister blithely notes, "there is a self, and it is determined." Marriage is about self-actualization, not sacrifice, love, spiritual growth, or family formation. Children, when we're "ready"—no matter if we've hit age 34 or 54—can be planted or purchased or otherwise acquired, all for our own pleasure, fulfillment, and entertainment. They are products, plain and simple.
Marriage rates probably would perk up if there were a boost in welfare benefits, Traister argues: "It's that simple." Oh. OK. In the meantime, at least according to All the Single Ladies, the government owes our newly atomized existences their due.
In the end, this paean to "independent" women ends as you might expect: a call for other people, via government taxation, to pay for their abortions, childcare, and high-tech "reproductive intervention"—as well as their most questionable choices. It would be funny, if it weren't so sad. "The Rise of An Independent Nation," indeed.

Pluto was demoted in fall 2006. This had been on the back burner for many years, but with the discovery of another Pluto-sized object in the solar system (now called Eris) in 2003, astronomers decided poor Pluto was too small to merit the title of "planet." This simple change in labeling had some not-so-profound consequences.
I was teaching solar system astronomy that fall. Normally, we save the Pluto debate until the end of the year, but in 2006, we moved it up. I also ended up giving several talks around the state about it all, including with my presentation a short segment from ESPN's NFL preview show.
Another minor result was the heartfelt cry of a Hattiesburg sixth-grader, as interviewed in this very newspaper on how to remember the planets: "'My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.' What do we do now?"
That young girl should now be of college age. Wherever she is, I invite her to take my astronomy class at Southern Miss, where we can allay her fears.
All this should make clear an important point — the number of planets isn't fixed. Before the advent of modern science, people recognized seven planets — the sun, the moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. The word "planet" comes from the ancient Greek word for "wanderer," and was applied to these objects because they wander across the sky compared to the constellations. Their names survive in part as the roots of our days of the week.
When Copernicus revived the notion of a heliocentric universe, the sun and moon lost their status as planets, but the Earth joined the club. A "planet" was now an object that independently orbited the sun. The number of planets thus dropped to six.
Matters stood that way until the late 18th century. It was then that a few careful observations restored the number of planets to seven.
William Herschel, a German émigré to England, had (with the help of his sister Caroline) become the best grinder of lenses for telescopes in the world. While scanning along the plane of the solar system, he came across a pale blue disk. At first he thought it might be a comet, but further observations showed its orbit to be virtually circular and about twice as far from the sun as Saturn. It eventually became apparent that this was a planet. At first he tried to name it "George's Star," after his patron, George III of England. Few others went for that, and eventually someone suggested Uranus, in keeping with the mythological theme of the other planets.
The number of planets has gone up and down with our discoveries. For a short while in the early 19th century, Ceres was taken to be a planet; we now recognize it as the largest of the asteroids. Neptune was added in 1846, and our current tally (in our solar system) now stands at eight.
Next: In "our" solar system? There are others? See you then!

The Jobs Summit and the challenge of mass unemployment
By Centre for Development and Enterprise|2019-01-23T10:27:32+00:00September 26th, 2018|Publications|
The key questions
Johannesburg 26 September 2018 – South Africa's crisis of unemployment is the deepest in the world, and the Jobs Summit, to be hosted next week, will be a wasted opportunity unless it begins to deal with some of the key structural constraints on employment creation. This is the view of the Centre for Development and Enterprise (CDE), whose executive director, Ann Bernstein, hosted a media briefing yesterday.
Ms Bernstein noted that too much energy goes into projects that can help move people closer to the front of the unemployment queue, and too little goes into the policy reforms that are needed to shrink those queues.
"Everyone knows that we have an exceptionally high level of unemployment," Bernstein said, "but few people realise how rapidly our situation is deteriorating." Since 2008 the adult population has grown by about 1,700 people per day, but the number of jobs has increased by only about 500 per day. "For young people the trend is even worse: there are fewer young people in jobs today than there were in 2008."
CDE reports that only 43% of working age adults have jobs, a figure substantially lower than the global norm of around 60%. That low level of employment means that South Africa has a very high level of unemployment: 9.6 million adults who want to work cannot find a job.
CDE has looked at youth unemployment in 20 cities, towns and townships across the country. "When you talk to officials, politicians, young people, civil society or even business organisations in places where youth unemployment is very high, they often tell you that what they want to see is more public employment or better functioning labour bureaus or projects to train entrepreneurs," she said. "What they don't talk about are all the policies that stifle growth."
"In our view, the most efficient, sustainable projects for creating jobs are called firms. But the policies needed to ensure their survival and expansion and the creation of many new firms are not what South Africans generally talk about. Hopefully the Jobs Summit won't repeat those mistakes."
CDE argues that South Africa's approach to employment has failed because too many of the country's policies raise the cost of doing business and reduce the economic growth rate. "Without growth, sustainable jobs won't be created," Bernstein says.
South Africa's emphasis on building an economy that is high skill and high wage ignores the reality of millions of unskilled and inexperienced work seekers. "This is not just a plea for better spending in skills development," said Bernstein. "We need an environment conducive to firms' making and selling goods and services using the workforce we have, not the workforce we wish we had."
If South Africa is to make progress, the country needs a bold reform agenda. We need to change the approach to collective bargaining so that work seekers and smaller firms are not priced out of the market; reduce the cost of employing young people, especially in comparison to older, more experienced workers; and reduce subsidies being paid to firms that are capital and skill intensive.
There are therefore, four questions to ask concerning the Jobs Summit agreements:
• Do the proposals respond to the scale of the challenge?
• Are they likely to improve the business environment for all firms and especially smaller and newer firms?
• Will they encourage firms to hire more workers and especially young inexperienced work seekers?
• Is the Jobs Summit agreement all there is? Or is this the start of a process of further engagement and reform on the more fundamental issues?
If the answers to these questions are positive, CDE would regard the Jobs Summit as a success.

Govt considers extending China travel ban
A travel ban preventing Chinese visitors and students from entering Australia may be extended as part of the government's response to the coronavirus.

"The current ban extends to this weekend and we will be consider those issues on the best medical advice," Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Thursday, ahead of a meeting of the national security committee.
The virus, on top of this summer's bushfires and a long-running drought, is having huge financial impact on the economy.
The ramifications are particularly bad for Australia's university sector, which has 68,000 Chinese foreign students locked out because of the travel ban.
"The timing for Australia is unique as opposed to the US or Canada, because of course we are at the start of our (education) year, so the timing is probably the worst possible outcome," Vicki Thomson, chief executive of the Group of Eight universities, told ABC radio.
National Australia Bank chief economist Alan Oster says nobody knows how long the virus will last.
"If you say it is going to finish in a month or so then you hopefully get a short, pretty significant impact," he said.
If that proves the case, there will probably be a small hit to growth in the March quarter of this year.
"We are not talking about a recession," he said, although growth will still be half a percentage point weaker over the year than earlier hoped.
"The government can fire-up fiscal policy, I don't know whether it will, and at some stage the Reserve Bank will probably have to help a little bit as well."
Shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers said Labor put forward a number of suggestions to lift growth before the bushfires and virus took hold – including infrastructure spending, incentives for business investment and an increase to Newstart.
"It has been very disappointing that the government, not only haven't picked up and run with any of those ideas, but also they haven't had any ideas or plans of their own," Dr Chalmers told ABC radio.

Austin's Patron Saint of Music, Margaret Moser, Passes
Posted By Kevin Curtin on Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 2:51 PM
Photo via Facebook, TexPopSA
Margaret Moser, 1954-2017
This story is reprinted with permission from the Austin Chronicle.
Coming two days after reports of her death spread virally on social media, the news marks the end of Moser's four-year struggle with colon cancer. She died as a once-in-a-decade storm hit Texas.
Flash back to another rainy day five months back, when I was rummaging through a muddy South Austin salvage yard, foraging benches for my band van when a smashed up old Chevy called my name. Yanking open its rusty side doors, my eyes locked on a book, splayed open on the seat, revealing a face dear and familiar.
Of all books to find in a broken down van, it was Pamela Des Barres' chronicling of famous groupies: Let's Spend the Night Together. Miraculously, it was open to page 218, where Margaret Moser is pictured, smiling with a bouquet of flowers, between Woody Harrelson and Willie Nelson. Margaret always did have a way of finding interesting avenues into my life.
Cover image by Martha Grenon
The famed music journalist discovered me working at local bong palace Planet K in 2011 and quickly helped me realize my dream of becoming a writer. She believed in me when no one else did. I'm not alone, either. Her belief in people was a force of nature in Austin for more than 40 years.
Born in Chicago on May 16, 1954, to highly educated, churchgoing parents Phyllis Jackson Stegall and Willard Cummings Moser, Margaret was raised in New Orleans, Houston, and San Antonio, where she dropped out of high school. She moved to Austin in 1973 and began her journalism career in 1976 as an office manager and custodian at seminal alt-rag the Austin Sun. When the Chronicle was established in 1981, the ever-present backstage scenester seized the music news page with her column "In One Ear."
"She had such a personal and passionate way of writing about music," Roky Erickson, the godfather of psychedelic rock, who she held in reverence through his ups and downs, recently remembered. "I also liked seeing if she had written about me or my life or what I was doing. She had a different way of looking at things, and the way she wrote made the music come alive, like the musicians were right there with me. She has a gift not every writer has."
Indeed, Moser boasted a unique voice as a writer: easy, soulful, and unabashedly reverent – part diary, part fanzine, part gossip columnist. At her best, like in this celebrated cover story of Charlie and Will Sexton, she was impossibly candid and personal. She used that voice to espouse love for music makers her entire career.
"She's got the soul and the wonder and the gratitude of an artist," offered Kathy Valentine, bassist and songwriter for the Go-Go's during their heyday, in June. "She has that ability to know what's important and what a musician needs, whether it's a lift or recognition. People just want to be appreciated and recognized … Margaret has a way of doing that with every musician. She's just the champion, our champion, all of us – all of us who play music."
As Wagoneers leader Monte Warden noted in the Chronicle's summer tribute, "Everybody thinks they're Margaret Moser's one special thing." That supportive, confidence-boosting mentality she employed proved powerful and had an immeasurable impact on fostering the local music scene. If ever there were a patron saint of Austin musicians, it's Margaret Moser.
Of course she wasn't a saint in the holy sense. Chronicle co-founder Louis Black worried, in a late June "Page Two" column, that stories being shared about her in the twilight of her earthly existence were drifting so toward the positive, that it undermined the wondrous force of nature that was Moser.
"The good ship Margaret Moser is a fleet unto itself," he mused. "She isn't and has never been one person, one thing."
Her well-documented groupie history, leading an infamous local welcoming committee called the Texas Blondes in the Seventies, included bedding Mick Ronson and Roger McGuinn – in one night. Margaret was wild.
"She always stirred up whatever trouble there was, and we all appreciated that because we were always looking for a good time," Joe Ely recalled in the tribute.
Lucinda Williams, a close friend of Moser, concurs: "Margaret is so intelligent, well-read, funny as hell. She was always the life of the party. Unfortunately, the partying could get a little out of hand back then, you know. She was just this wild woman in the most brilliant way.
Paul Minor and Kevin Curtin (r) with Margaret at Tex Pop in San Antonio on June 11
"But she has this sweetness. There was a real soulfulness there, too. She's always been one of the most favorite people I've ever known."
The onetime backup singer/dancer in Dino Lee & the White Trash Revue, who was married for 15 years to famed tattoo artist Mike Malone (aka Rollo Banks), served a key community function as the life force behind the Austin Music Awards, the Chronicle's 35-year-old homegrown version of the Grammys, a unique mash-up of performances from local acts and superstars such as Bruce Springsteen, Robert Plant, and Pete Townshend.
People often use the words "battle" and "bout" to describe their experience with cancer. Moser's was neither. Rather, she entered into a slow and graceful dance with death.
Since May, when she let friends and fans know that the disease had moved to her brain and she was entering home hospice, Margaret was reciprocated the love she had shown Austin ten-fold. She and her husband Steve Chaney welcomed a constant succession of musicians, writers, and old friends down to San Antonio. She was also lauded extensively in the press, not just by the Chronicle, but NPR and the Austin American-Statesman. Few in the world get to experience living eulogies, but Margaret enjoyed a whole summer's worth.
She's survived by her mother, husband, and younger brothers Scott, Stephen, and Bill.
When we were emailing back and forth in June, Moser was truly basking in the attention. Though cancer consumed her, she wasn't by any means miserable: "I keep saying my head lights up at night," she wrote. "It does. The view is beautiful."
There was another phrase she repeated often in her final months, more of a directive. It had everything to do with how Moser had entered the world of music writing as a high school dropout to eventually become the most celebrated female music journalist in Texas history. It was also significant to the way in which she transformed my life and many others:
"Keep opening those back doors."

Capt. Coleman's mission possible
BY SCOTT STIFFLER
Published Dec 4, 2018 at 3:35 pm (Updated Dec 4, 2018)
The new commanding officer of the 10th Precinct is "happy to be back" in Chelsea
Commanding Officer Capt. Kevin J. Coleman, at the Nov. 28 meeting of the 10th Precinct Community Council. Photo: Scott Stiffler
"The public needs to see you as legitimate. If we have a robbery or homicide, we need the victim or complainant to cooperate. We need witnesses. If they distrust us or don't see us as legitimate, they're less likely to help us. We're more effective when we have positive relationships."
Commanding Officer Capt. Kevin J. Coleman, 10th Precinct
Commanding Officer Captain Kevin J. Coleman was recently assigned the top leadership position at Chelsea's 10th Precinct — but he's not an unfamiliar presence. The 15-year NYPD veteran called this neighborhood home for several years, in the early 2000s.
"I loved living in Chelsea," said the former West 30th St. resident. "So I'm happy to be back. There are a lot of people who were born here, who are still living here, and that's a really solid foundation of community."
Coleman spoke with Straus News last week, during which he noted, "I'm really into the public service aspect of being a police officer. My career is about helping the people of New York City — keeping them safe, responding to them in times of crisis."
That career began in 2003, when Coleman's first assignment out of the police academy found him as a cop at the West Village's Sixth Precinct, where he spent four years. Attaining the rank of sergeant, he'd spend four more years at the 25th Precinct in East Harlem, and then return to the police academy, as an academic instructor. In July of 2013, he "made lieutenant and went to the Bronx, the 43rd Precinct. I was there two years as a platoon commander," he said, leading and managing an entire shift of police officers. "From there," Coleman recalled, "I took an 11-month leave of absence and, under a scholarship, I went to the John F. Kennedy School of Government, and completed a masters in public administration." While at Harvard, he advanced to the rank of captain, returning for a two-year stint as the executive officer of the 52nd Precinct — which brings us to Chelsea.
Now, as a first-time commanding officer, Coleman is determined to use the "great autonomy" he's been given to assist the pubic, deploy resources, and support the precinct's police officers — to whom he gives credit for driving down crime since his arrival.
"When I came to the precinct in July," he said, at Nov. 28's installment of the monthly Community Council meeting, "overall crime was "up 12.2 percent [from 2017]. Now we're up 5.3 percent ... We're down in robberies [11 percent] and burglaries [five percent]. Grand larceny is the real driver of crime in this precinct, 659 year-to-date." (At this time last year, it was 595.)
Readers of this publication's Crime Watch will be familiar with larceny incidents, at area nightclubs, restaurants, and cafes. Coleman said he understands the predilection to think, "because it's Chelsea, I can leave my stuff here and use the restroom, and it's going to be okay. And that doesn't always work out ... While you're looking at your phone, someone else might be eyeing it and thinking, 'Hey, that's $800 or $1,000 for me,' and watching to see if you put your phone down. They see it as something they can sell."
Although Coleman emphasized his desire "to increase public safety and lower crime as best I can," he said his "main mission is to build relationships with the public. I'm doing my best to implement the Police Commissioner's and the department's new philosophy of neighborhood policing — to ensure the cops understand it, and embrace it."
That form of policing — described by the NYPD as a "comprehensive crime-fighting strategy built on improved communication and collaboration between local police officers and community residents" — is set to become policy, citywide, in 2019. But several of its signature elements have already been implemented in Chelsea.
Established in 2017, the NCO (Neighborhood Coordination Officers) program has two liaison officers assigned to three sectors, following up on quality of life complaints, and holding quarterly Build the Block meetings. For details, call the Community Affairs office, at 212-741-8226. Coleman also wants the public to know they can call or email their NCO officers directly.
The effects of neighborhood policing are also being felt, he noted, by dedicating a period "off-radio time" within each day's three patrol shifts. "Traditionally," he said, "the patrol offices are answering 911 and 311 calls all day. Now we have this block of uncommitted time, where, for about 2 hours and 40 minutes, they're following up with complaints, meeting with the community, and making sure they have a relationship there — so when a crisis situation does happen, they're not meeting people for the first time."
For the police to function properly, Coleman observed, "the public needs to see you as legitimate. If we have a robbery or homicide, we need the victim or complainant to cooperate. We need witnesses. If they distrust us or don't see us as legitimate, they're less likely to help us. We're more effective when we have positive relationships."
To that end, Coleman acknowledged there's more work to be done, in terms of first contact. "I will continue to do that," he said. "It's a large community, and I'm going to continue to meet people and different organizations, going into 2019."
The 10th Precinct is located at 230 West 20th St. (between Seventh & Eighth Aves.). Call 212-741-8211. On Twitter: @NYPD10Pct. On Facebook: facebook.com/NYPD10PCT. The next Community Council meeting is Wed., Dec. 19, 7 p.m., at the precinct.

The UCC2742x family of high-speed dual MOSFET drivers can deliver large peak currents into capacitive loads. Three standard logic options are offered – dual-inverting, dual-noninverting, and one-inverting and one-noninverting driver. The thermally enhanced 8-pin PowerPAD™ MSOP package (DGN) drastically lowers the thermal resistance to improve long-term reliability. It is also offered in the standard SOIC-8 (D) or PDIP-8 (P) packages.
Using a design that inherently minimizes shoot-through current, these drivers deliver 4A of current where it is needed most at the Miller plateau region during the MOSFET switching transition. A unique BiPolar and MOSFET hybrid output stage in parallel also allows efficient current sourcing and sinking at low supply voltages.
The UCC2742x provides enable (ENB) functions to have better control of the operation of the driver applications. ENBA and ENBB are implemented on pins 1 and 8 which were previously left unused in the industry standard pin-out. They are internally pulled up to VDD for active high logic and can be left open for standard operation.

BWW Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, King's Theatre, Edinburgh
by Fraser MacDonald
BroadwayWorld.com Dec. 16, 2018
Every so often, a show comes along that completely redefines how theatre should be done. In this year's panto adventure, Beauty and the Beast at Edinburgh's King's Theatre not only shows that pantomime is still very much alive and well, but also sets the new standard for truly exceptional variety theatre.
Variety really is at the heart of the show. From the first bar of the score blasted by Andy Pickering's orchestra, the creeping of dry ice across the boards and the burst of the multi-coloured lamps, the show screams entertainment.
Its script, co-credited as the work of Allan Stewart and Michael Harrison, balances a simple plot with classic routines and sets a new example of how to construct a pantomime.
The music breathes life into old classics - "What A Selfie (Stick It In Your Family Album)" is a particular stroke of genius - and even the use of more dated modern tunes - see "Thinking Out Loud" - are perfectly slotted into the tight plot.
All the usual local digs are in there - beware those from Morningside and Leith - and the cut of the show is right up to date, with all the usual references to Love Island, Strictly and Brexit.
Running at two hours including an interval, it's short enough to make sure the little ones aren't bored and leaves everyone - young and old - begging for more. They say you should leave on a high? This pantomime kicks off on a high and never dips below.
The inimitable Allan Stewart (Auntie May Potty) excels more than ever before, defining the modern dame in harking back to the glamour of Stanley Baxter, but with a much more direct rapport with his audience.
Now in his 21st appearance as dame at the King's, Stewart's talent is unquestionable as he puts decades of showbiz experience to use, making sure that neither mishap nor heckle is not properly dealt with.
Grant Stott's baddie - Flash Boaby - is delivered with all the double entendres that the character's name would suggest, sending kids into hysterics and leaving many a grown-up blushing. Due to overwhelming public demand, he brings out a classic hit of his own, which ensures that the baddy is never too evil. Maybe the key to a good baddie is being likeable... or maybe it's just an obsession with the Hibees.
Though the final part of Edinburgh's panto trio had to step back this year due to ill health, the love for Andy Gray is still very much present. Whilst audiences look forward to welcoming him back next year, he'll no doubt be proud of what his pals have been able to deliver in his absence.
Belle (Gillian Parkhouse) returns to the King's this year and gives a stellar vocal performance alongside Chris Cowley's Beast. Parkhouse also enjoys a bit more bite than most lead girls, which adds to the refreshing feel of the show.
Technically excelling with every scene change - which keeps the whole piece flying forward - Beauty and the Beast also boast a level of trickery that rivals the thwarted plans of Guy Fawkes.
With more flash, bangs and wallops than Half a Sixpence, the show is as much a visual spectacle as a technical one. Once again, The Twins FX prove to be at the top of their game, whilst Flying by Foy will be sure to leave little ones gasping in awe.
Thinking outside the box makes this pantomime stand out against all others; its fresh-but-familiar feel should be the equation for all festive shows to follow, but it seems impossible to recreate the ingenuity here.
Amongst an endless list of outstanding moments in this pantomime, the run-across-the-stage message gag is given a whole new lease of life and the show boosts the best songsheet moment in panto history that prompts an audience reaction like no other.
The genius of this show clearly comes from Stewart himself, with his comrade Grant Stott right beside him in driving this truly exceptional piece of theatre forward. The uninterrupted joy that it is able to convey defies the myths that pantomime has to be cheap, tacky and unconsidered. The labour of love is clear to see and it's a delight to be a part of.
A true masterclass in pantomime, this production will be talked about for years to come as the gold standard. Beg, steal, borrow or pawn your granny to get a ticket.
Beauty and the Beast at King's Theatre, Edinburgh until 20 January, 2019

Q: How to copy the color styling to a color column in a layer's attribute table? I have a polygon layer in QGIS that I have applied a random color style to each polygon. Under Layer Properties -> Style I selected a Categorized style and then generated a random color ramp. I added a color column to the layer table. Is there a way to automatically copy the color assigned in the style to the color column for each polygon in the form "#ff0000".
Ultimately, I want to export it as a GeoJSON layer and import it into a leaflet map. The color column will set the color in leaflet.

A: You could use PyQGIS for that (not sure is the best solution for it, though).
Assuming your layer has a color field (type: string), select (or activate) the layer in the QGIS ToC, open the QGIS Python console, and copy this code snippet:
layer = iface.activeLayer()
attr = layer.renderer().classAttribute()
attrColor = 'color'  # Name of the field to store colors
fieldIndex = layer.dataProvider().fieldNameIndex(attrColor)
attrFeatMap = {}

for cat in layer.renderer().categories():
    expr = "\"" + attr + "\"='" + unicode(cat.value()) + "'"

    for f in layer.getFeatures(expr):
        attrMap = {fieldIndex : cat.symbol().color().name()}
        attrFeatMap[f.id()] = attrMap

layer.dataProvider().changeAttributeValues( attrFeatMap )

After running it, you'll obtain this:

Let me know if you face any problem.

"For close to 30 years, we have been serving communities in the US by supporting hospitals and clinics through the various stages of healthcare technology adoption from EPR implementations and infrastructure to support. There's momentum in the UK for a single patient record, more clinical decision support and efficient healthcare. CereCore has the skills and expertise needed to help care providers accomplish the tremendous amount of work that lies ahead to meet the NHS regulatory requirements and public health goals," said Curtis Watkins, president and CEO, CereCore.

The Company will settle a total of $438,400 in debt by issuing an aggregate of 626,286 common shares to the creditors at a deemed price of $0.70 per common share, in satisfaction of the debt. About Skylight Health Group Skylight Health Group is a healthcare services and technology company, working to positively impact patient health outcomes. The Company operates a US multi-state primary care health network comprised of physical practices providing a range of services from primary care, sub-specialty, allied health, and laboratory/diagnostic testing. The Company is focused on helping small and independent practices shift from a traditional fee-for-service model to value-based care ("VBC") through tools including proprietary technology, data analytics and infrastructure. In an FFS model, payors (commercial and government insurers) reimburse on an encounter-based approach. This puts a focus on the volume of patients per day. In a VBC model, the providers offer care that is aimed at keeping patients healthy and minimizing unnecessary health expenditures that are not proven to maintain the patient's well-being. This places emphasis on quality over volume. VBC will lead to improved patient outcomes, reduced cost of delivery and drive stronger financial performance from existing practices.

Study Reveals Florence Healthcare's Site Enablement Platforms Can Accelerate Clinical Trials by Six Weeks and Reduce Costs by Over $1M per Study
Florence Healthcare | November 18, 2022
Florence Healthcare™, a clinical research technology company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, announced the completion of a year-long third-party study on the impact of Site Enablement Platforms™ on clinical research timelines and costs. The study by Marketcap Consulting is the first to compare how traditional site management approaches differ from site-first Site Enablement Platforms. The study looked at the impact of traditional sponsor portals and new Site Enablement Platforms on research sponsor and Contract Research Organization study timelines and budgets. "Pharma sponsors and CROs realize the importance of enabling sites to do their best work - but only recently have they discovered that traditional site portals are more hindrance than help. Yet, these organizations weren't able to measure the true impact of switching to a Site Enablement Platform. This year-long study aimed to fix that and highlight how linking fragmented workflows accelerates the full lifecycle of clinical trials." Ryan Jones, CEO of Florence Healthcare Site enablement is a new technology category that prioritizes the needs of the site, a major shift from past technology that only looked at the experience of the sponsor. These platforms, including Florence Healthcare's SiteLink™, insist on ease-of-use and ease-of-setup for the site, quality support, and simplified integrations. SiteLink works in conjunction with eBinders™, an electronic Investigator Site File solution used by over 12,000 research sites in 45 countries. About the Study Marketcap Consulting conducted interviews with clinical research operations leaders harnessing SiteLink, examined timelines and study costs, and analyzed the impact across the sites in the study. On average, the team found that SiteLink accelerated study start-up by four weeks and study close-out by two weeks at every site. For a 50-site study, this six-week acceleration reduced cash burn by one million dollars. "We can see a clear positive impact on study timelines and cash burn when research sponsors and CROs implement Site Enablement Platforms," said Joel White, founder of Marketcap Consulting. "This early study reveals that by enabling sites to do their best work, the clinical research industry unlocks value across the full research cycle." "While the financial impact of switching to SiteLink makes investing in site enablement an easy choice for sponsors and CROs, it's really the acceleration of studies that gets our team at Florence Healthcare excited," said Jones. "We aim to double the output of research teams by the end of the decade, and enabling sites is the way to do it." About Florence Healthcare Florence Healthcare's clinical trial software helps more than 12,000 research sites in 45 countries manage their documents, data, and workflows. The Florence Healthcare™ platform also provides remote access so sponsors and Contract Research Organizations can collaborate with their sites around the world. Florence Healthcare users now perform 5.8 million remote monitoring activities each month.


Pope opens Year of Faith (CNS) On Thursday, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated a Mass marking the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council and launching the Year of Faith. The pope called on Catholics to revive the "authentic spirit" of Vatican II by re-proposing the church's ancient teachings to an increasingly secular modern world. Vatican II, the Holy Father said, had been "animated by a desire ... to immerse itself anew in the Christian mystery so as to re-propose it fruitfully to contemporary man." The full text of his homily can be found on the Vatican's news site.
