1st Constitution of the U.S. 1781-1788 (weaknesses-no executive, no judicial, no power to tax, no power to regulate trade)
NJ Plan
in favor of smaller states. didn't want central gov, unicameral equal representation. congress can regulate trade and tax
Va Plan
proposed by Edmund Randolph, 3 branches, senate chosen by assembly from candidates submitted by legislators, seats in both houses determined by pop., strong central gov. (William Patterson countered this plan with NJ plan)
A settlement in which each side gives up some of its demands in order to reach an agreement.
Great Compromise
1787; This compromise was between the large and small states of the colonies. The Great Compromise resolved that there would be representation by population in the House of Representatives, and equal representation would exist in the Senate. Each state, regardless of size, would have 2 senators. All tax bills and revenues would originate in the House. This compromise combined the needs of both large and small states and formed a fair and sensible resolution to their problems.
"The supreme law of the land." Written in 1787 at the constitutional convention in Philadelphia, ratified in 1788, amended 27 times, creates 3 branches of national government, oldest written constitution that is still in use, and it was made because the government set up by the articles of confederation was too weak.
A system in which power is divided between the national and state governments
Constitutional division of powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, with the legislative branch making law, the executive applying and enforcing the law, and the judiciary interpreting the law
Checks and Balances
A system that allows each branch of government to limit the powers of the other branches in order to prevent abuse of power
A group of people named by each state legislature to select the president and vice president
Necessary and Proper Clause
Clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3) setting forth the implied powers of Congress. It states that Congress, in addition to its express powers, has the right to make all laws necessary and proper to carry out all powers the Constitution vests in the national government

Federalists
A term used to describe supporters of the Constitution during ratification debates in state legislatures.
Anti-Federalists
Anti-Federalists rose up as the opponents of the Constitution during the period of ratification. They opposed the Constitution's powerful centralized government, arguing that the Constitution gave too much political, economic, and military control. They instead advocated a decentralized governmental structure that granted most power to the states
Although the Anti-Federalists failed to block the ratification of the Constitution, they did ensure that the Bill of Rights would be created to protect individuals from government interference and possible tyranny. The Bill of Rights, drafted by a group led by James Madison, consisted of the first ten amendments to the Constitution, which guaranteed the civil rights of American citizens.

Favored strict interpretation of the Constitution.
Hamilton's Financial Plan
Designed to pay off the U.S.'s war debts and stabilize the economy, he believed that the United States should become a leading international commercial power. His programs included the creation of the National Bank, the establishment of the U.S.'s credit rate, increased tariffs, and an excise tax on whiskey. Also, he insisted that the federal government assume debts incurred by the states during the war.

Whiskey Rebellion
In 1794, farmers in Pennsylvania rebelled against Hamilton's excise tax on whiskey, and several federal officers were killed in the riots caused by their attempts to serve arrest warrants on the offenders. In October, 1794, the army, led by Washington, put down the rebellion. The incident showed that the new government under the Constitution could react swiftly and effectively to such a problem, in contrast to the inability of the government under the Articles of Confederation to deal with Shay's Rebellion.
Jay's Treaty
1794 - It was signed in the hopes of settling the growing conflicts between the U.S. and Britain. It dealt with the Northwest posts and trade on the Mississippi River. It was unpopular with most Americans because it did not punish Britain for the attacks on neutral American ships. It was particularly unpopular with France, because the U.S. also accepted the British restrictions on the rights of neutrals.
Quasi War

Marbury Vs. Madison
Case in which the supreme court first asserted th power of Judicial review in finding that the congressional statue expanding the Court's original jurisdiction was unconstitutional
A commercial bank chartered by the federal government
Washington's Farewell Address
-Washington retired from office after his 2nd term in 1797. His Farewell Address is actually a letter. In it he reacted sharply to Republicans, by warning against international entanglements (more specifically, denouncing against the Republicans that had been conspiring with the French to frustrate the Federalist diplomatic program.and against the dangers of permanent alliances with foreign nations. (Ex. The Jay Treaty)Warned against sectionalism (Ex: put down the Whiskey Rebellion). Temporary alliances wouldn't be quite as dangerous, but they should be made only in "extraordinary emergencies". He also spoke against partisan bitterness. (Federalist and Republican parties) 1775-1825
XYZ Affair
1798 - A commission had been sent to France in 1797 to discuss the disputes that had arisen out of the U.S.'s refusal to honor the Franco-American Treaty of 1778. President Adams had also criticized the French Revolution, so France began to break off relations with the U.S. Adams sent delegates to meet with French foreign minister Talleyrand in the hopes of working things out. Talleyrand's three agents told the American delegates that they could meet with Talleyrand only in exchange for a very large bribe. The Americans did not pay the bribe, and in 1798 Adams made the incident public, substituting the letters "X, Y and Z" for the names of the three French agents in his report to Congress.
Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions
Written anonymously by Jefferson and Madison in response to the Alien and Sedition Acts, they declared that states could nullify federal laws that the states considered unconstitutional.
Hartford Convention
Meeting of Federalists near the end of the War of 1812 in which the party listed it's complaints against the ruling Republican Party. These actions were largley viewed as traitorous to the country and lost the Federalist much influence
McCulloch vs. Maryland
The state of Maryland taxed banknotes produced by the Bank of the United States, claiming that the Bank was unconstitutional. Using implied powers, Marshall countered that the Bank was constitutional and ruled that Maryland was forbidden from taxing the Bank.

How to save 50% of spending on gasoline using natural gas?
In the current international scenario, access to efficient, clean energy sources, such as natural gas, has positioned itself as one of the fuels with the greatest competitive advantage.
The Mexican Association of Natural Gas Vehicles (AMGNV) details that this fuel fulfills the same functions as gasoline; it is a resource 50% cheaper than fossil fuel; reduces the emission of carbon monoxide by up to 70%; and also, it's safer because it dissolves in the air and reduces the chances of an explosion.
The AMGNV estimates that in Mexico there are 35 service stations that offer this product.
The average cost of one liter of natural gas at stations like Comsustenta is 9.90 pesos and one liter yields the same as one liter of traditional gasoline. The main disadvantage is the number of service stations and the supply of new vehicles that use natural gas.
In relation to the shortage of gasoline that has been lived in the country, the Mexican Association of Natural Gas insisted on the implementation of a strategy of diversification of vehicular fuels, with this would reduce the congestion in the supply and the paralysis of economic activities. He also invited public transport and vehicles from private companies to use this resource as an alternative gasoline.
What requirements does a car need to use vehicular natural gas?
The requirements to use a car with natural gas vehicle is to have a tuned engine and not emit black smoke. The car should be relatively recent. Finally, it is necessary to adapt a special tank of vehicular natural gas, indicates, Comsustenta.
Experts in this industry recommend adapting the car and maintaining the gas tank at the same time, in order to be able to continue with a journey even if it runs out of natural gas.
According to Combucar, an expert company in mobile conversions, installing a 16-liter tank to a sedan-type car costs 37 thousand pesos. The approximate cost of filling the tank of a sedan car is 158 pesos.
While, adapt a tank of a minibus has an approximate cost of 85 thousand pesos and fill the tank has a cost of 752 pesos.
According to Fenosa, in two years you can recover your investment from the conversion of a private car or a four-cylinder taxi. This means that, if the price of vehicular natural gas were maintained, in the third year you would save around 18 thousand pesos, considering an annual consumption of 358.7 liters of gasoline (average annual cost per Mexican according to Bloomberg data), that you buy on average at 20 pesos per liter.
In the first instance, the use of natural gas is suitable for taxis, cargo transport vans, public transport, because they are in constant use, therefore they have a higher fuel consumption.
However, for a private car that is only used for transport a few times a day, it may seem an expensive investment, but it considers that it has benefits with greater value, for example, the reduction of pollutants. Also, if at the moment, you can not buy a hybrid electric car, this option is the ideal one; since it can be cheaper and several services offer the payment of the conversion of your car in installments.

Leaving Careers in IT: Gender Differences in Retention

Paula E. Stephan
The low prevalence of women in the information technology (IT) workforce has received considerable attention in recent years. The focus of much of this discussion concerns how women can be recruited into careers in IT by making careers more attractive and accessible to women. The size of the IT workforce depends on retention as well as recruitment. The focus of this study is on retention, examining factors related to retention and how retention varies by gender. Data for the study come from the Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System (SESTAT) compiled by Science Resources Statistics (SRS), National Science Foundation (NSF). We find that retention varies by gender and that a sizeable proportion of IT-trained women who are not working in IT jobs leave the labor force rather than take positions in other occupations. We also find that marriage and family play different roles for women and men in affecting retention. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2005

CITIC Pacific Special Steel is the largest dedicated manufacturer of special steel in China with a production capacity of 9 million tonnes per annum. It operates two plants — Jiangyin Xingcheng Special Steel and Hubei Xin Yegang — which produce bars, plates, seamless steel tubes, wires, forging steel and casting billets. Its customers are primarily in the auto components, energy, machinery manufacturing, oil and petrochemicals, transportation, shipbuilding and other industrial sectors.
Global demand for steel remained weak in 2015, while in China steelmakers continued to suffer from excess capacity. Against this operating background, CITIC Pacific Special Steel sold a total of seven million tonnes of special steel products in 2015, a 5% decrease year on year.
More than half of all products manufactured by CITIC Pacific Special Steel in 2015 supplied the auto components and machinery manufacturing sectors, consistent with their contribution last year. Bar steel, plates and seamless steel tubes — the major products of the company — together contributed over three quarters of total sales volume. Over 80% of products were sold in China, and the company maintained the same proportion of export sales as last year. Key export markets are South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and North America.
For the year 2015, CITIC Pacific Special Steel recorded revenue of HK$35.2 billion, 23% less than last year due to fewer products sold and lower product prices. In addition, an impairment charge led to a 27% decrease in net profit attributable to shareholders.
Over the year, CITIC Pacific Special Steel continued to invest in optimising its product mix and, at the end of 2015, introduced a sophisticated new production line for alloy bar steel. With an annual designed capacity of 900,000 tonnes, the line will greatly increase total production capacity of higher quality bar steel products. The company also continued to develop new products, which comprised 16% of total production in 2015, up 7% over last year.

Trump seeks to shore up evangelical support at 'prosperity gospel' church
By Simon Lewis, Heather Timmons
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will hold a campaign event in a Miami megachurch on Friday to shore up support from Christian conservatives, after a prominent evangelical publication questioned whether the faithful should support the Republican.

The event by Trump at the 7,000-capacity King Jesus International Ministry church has drawn fresh attention to his administration's ties to "prosperity gospel" preachers who tell followers that generous donations to their churches will be rewarded on Earth with wealth, health and power.
The doctrine's growth in recent decades - often helped by charismatic televangelist pastors - has confounded classical theologians and some of the evangelical community who consider the "prosperity gospel" to be in direct opposition to the Bible.
The King Jesus International Ministry is led by pastor Guillermo Maldonado, who encourages worshippers to give "first fruits" donations to the church in January that guarantee spiritual and financial returns later in the year.
"First fruits are given to honor God," Maldonado said in a typical Facebook message on his page. "You can't have the Father's favor until you honor Him."
The Trump administration has aligned itself with other prosperity gospel leaders, including Paula White, who has appeared at White House prayer events, and was named last year as an adviser in the executive Office of Public Liaison, which is tasked with outreach to special interest groups.
White's and Maldonado's ministries did not respond to questions about criticism of the prosperity gospel practice.
The late Rev. Billy Graham denounced the prosperity gospel movement in 2016, saying here "Jesus wasn't rich, nor were His first disciples — not at all. In fact, the only disciple who really cared about money was Judas."
More than 80 percent of white evangelicals voted for Trump in the 2016 election. But a crack in evangelical support opened up last month when the magazine Christianity Today wrote a blistering editorial on Trump's "grossly immoral character."
Researchers say it is hard to quantify the exact numbers of Americans who follow the prosperity gospel, but their numbers may be in the tens of millions.
According to a 2019 survey here by the Pew Research Center, 43% of U.S. adults, or some 110 million people, identify with Protestantism; 59% of those, or 64 million are born-again or evangelical Christians.
Many may follow prosperity gospel preachers on TV or online while identifying as mainline Protestants or evangelicals in surveys, academics say. Joel Osteen, head of a Houston megachurch, who is one of the country's most popular prosperity gospel preachers, says he reaches 100 million homes in the United States through broadcasts, videos, and podcasts.
EVANGELICALS FOR TRUMP
Trump's speech on Friday will mark the launch of the "Evangelicals for Trump" coalition ahead of the presidential election in November.
Last Sunday, Maldonado urged his congregation to attend the Trump event saying: "If you want to come, do it for your pastor. That's a way of supporting me," the Miami Herald reported on Dec. 29.
Those comments appear to have violated tax rules barring religious groups from participating in political campaigns, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a non-partisan group that advocates for the separation of church and state, said on Tuesday.
The church says it is not endorsing Trump.
"The January 3 Evangelicals for Trump event is being paid for and organised by President Trump's election campaign. We agreed to lease space in exchange for fair compensation. No church resources are being used and our agreement to provide rental space is not an endorsement of President Trump's campaign or any political party," it said in a statement.
While the prosperity gospel is criticized among mainstream Christian denominations, "its basic tenets have crept into a remarkable proportion of Americans' theological world view," said Robert P. Jones, chief executive and founder of the Public Religion Research Institute.
Paul Djupe, a scholar in the department of political science at Denison University in Ohio, conducted a nationwide survey with colleagues in 2018 that found about 32% of American adults agreed or strongly agreed with the statement: "God will reward the faithful with health and wealth."
Ryan Burge, a political scientist at Eastern Illinois University, has analysed 2012 survey data to show that Americans from low-income households were more likely to believe God rewards faith and generosity with prosperity. The beliefs of the prosperity gospel were also more common among black Protestants.
"It makes poor people feel like they can be rich someday," said Burge, who is also a pastor in the American Baptist Church.
Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Dallas Baptist Church, who will deliver the benediction at Friday's Miami event, said he continued to back Trump because of his record of opposing the abortion rights movement, supporting Israel and nominating conservative judges.
While First Baptist repudiates the prosperity gospel, "it's not unusual that different flavours of evangelicalism would come together" to support a common cause, Jeffress said.

The BP Spill and Role Reversal
Law / Rights / Governance
Ever since the Deepwater Horizon spill began on April 20, commentators have been playing the game of "what if?" What if George W. Bush were in office: Would criticism of the president be harsher? The answer is: of course. Most commentators and analysts understand that President Obama embodies that elite intellectual class—"the adversary culture," in Lionel Trilling's term—that despises commercial and industrial civilization.
Consequently, people reasonably presume that he neither has nor will cut BP any slack—indeed that he will not even deal with it justly. Were President Bush in office, the opposite presumptions would prevail, and rightly so.
But there are two other games of "what if?" that might be played and that are also instructive. What if ExxonMobil had been responsible for the oil spill? BP, as we are constantly reminded, no longer stands for "British Petroleum," and some may remember that back in 2000 the company declared that its new name of "BP" (as well as its suburst logo of green, yellow, and white) stood for "the new company's aspirations: 'better people, better products, big picture, beyond petroleum.'" In short, for at least a decade, BP has been the environmentalists favorite oil company, a fact little mentioned in recent days. Yes, it is now being reviled as an oil company, but its wider attitude and philosophy has not been subjected to vilification or indeed to scrutiny. Did corporate culture somehow have a role in the spill? ExxonMobil, by contrast, is the oil company environmentalists love to hate, not least because it has occasionally pushed back on issues such as global warming. What if ExxonMobil has been responsible for the Deepwater Horizon spill? Well, just for starters, every remark the company had ever made doubting the virtues of wind and sun, or questioning the imminent apocalypse of global warming would be declared refuted. And every defender of our hydrocarbon economy who had ever taken a dime from ExxonMobil would be shunned as forever tainted.
The third "what if" involves Tony Hayward. What if his predecesscor, John Browne, were still CEO of BP? What many people do not realize is that, so far as the media are concerned, Tony Hayward is playing the role of George W. Bush to Browne's Barack Obama. Browne, who came up through the finance side of British Petroleum, was CEO of BP from 1989 to 2007, and during his tenure, he devoted much of his efforts to (a) growth through merger rather than exploration, and (b) positioning BP as a "green" company. As the friend of Labour prime minister Tony Blair, Browne became Sir John Browne in 1998 and Baron Browne of Madingley in 2001. He kept homes in Cambridge, London, and Venice. And his fall from power was as close to heroic martyrdom as our contemporary culture acknowledges: he was outed by a homosexual lover whom he had met through the escort service "Suited and Booted." Alas for Tony Hayward : He is just a bourgeois geologist who rose through the exploration side of British Petroleum and now lives in Kent with his wife and children.

Robots needed to repair satellites in orbit
By Mike Oitzman | January 18, 2022
The US Space Force (USSF) became an official branch of the US military on December 20, 2019. In the two years since its launch, the USSF has begun to recruit new service members and plan how to fulfill its mission to protect US assets in space.
As part of the mission planning process, the USSF kicked off several research programs, and related grants, to help develop new technologies and new capabilities to enable the USSF to reach its goals.
The USSF was initially composed of uniformed and civilian personnel conducting and supporting space operations as part of Air Force Space Command. As such, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is taking the lead in defining, reviewing and managing all of these research programs.
Repairing and recycling satellites
Since the first satellites were launched in the 1950's, the technology has matured and evolved to the point that these satellites often outlast their projected lifespans. At that point in a satellite's life, it can become a hazard to other objects in space.
There are three options available:
Leave the dead satellite in orbit
De-orbit (crash) the satellite
Repair, refuel and repurpose the satellite for another mission – remaining in orbit
Recall that the USSF has the mission to protect US assets in space, so tracking, managing and defending US satellites (and other US space vehicles) is the responsibility of the USSF. The USSF has a vital interest in the future of every satellite in orbit (US owned or otherwise).
The most cost-effective method for repairing, refueling or even de-orbiting a satellite is likely to involve some form of robotics or remotely tele-operated machinery. It is here that the USSF wants to invest in new technology.
Working with Carnegie Mellon University
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University were selected to head a consortium selected by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) to pioneer research into robotic inspection, maintenance and manufacturing of satellites and other structures while in orbit.
The consortium is led by principal investigator Howie Choset, CMU in collaboration with researchers at the University of New Mexico, Texas A&M, and Northrop Grumman Corporation. Together, the group plans to develop systems for intelligent inspection, dexterous maintenance and agile manufacturing of satellites in space. This is where the robots come into the picture.
"This is an incredible opportunity to work together toward an ambitious goal," said Choset, a professor in the Robotics Institute at CMU's School of Computer Science. "No one knows how to refuel spacecraft such as satellites and telescopes. If we're successful, we will."
The work will require expertise in artificial intelligence, hard and soft robotics, additive manufacturing, astrodynamics, estimation theory, control, and space systems. Researchers intend to further develop existing technologies related to self-deployable construction tools, decentralized autonomy, attaching new components to existing structures while in orbit, and intelligent and interactive inspection.
"Our vision for basic and applied research will open a new frontier of opportunities to maximize the utility for satellites and other in-orbit assets by prolonging, enhancing or augmenting their mission capabilities," Choset said. "This ushers in a new era of satellite capabilities and configurations that will transform the future of space operations."
AFRL and AFOSR selected the CMU-led consortium's proposal, "Breaking the 'Launch Once, Use Once' Paradigm," as part of the newly established Space University Research Initiative (SURI). The University of Buffalo will lead a team from Penn State, Georgia Tech, MIT and Purdue in a second SURI proposal focused on tracking and gathering information on objects in space. Each proposal is eligible for up to $1 million in funding per year for three to five years.
CMU's efforts will be led by Choset and Matt Travers, co-directors of the Robotics Institute's Biorobotics Lab; and Carmel Majidi, a professor of mechanical engineering in CMU's College of Engineering who specializes in soft robotics. They will build on previous work by Choset and Travers with Northrop Grumman that evaluated robotics and AI for servicing satellites while in orbit and conducting assembly and manufacturing tasks in space.
The USSF wants you

When the Senate releases its plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it may retain the ACA's community-rating rules, which prevent health insurers from setting premiums based on enrollees' health status or preexisting conditions. However, the Senate's plan may enable states to waive the ACA's essential health benefits (EHB) requirement, a provision that requires most individual and small-group health insurers to cover 10 services including hospitalization, emergency department visits, prescription drugs, and other specific types of care.1 Our analysis, described in more detail below, finds that allowing states to waive the EHB requirement will reduce premiums, but could substantially increase out-of-pocket costs for those in need of eliminated services. This policy change could make it harder for those with preexisting conditions to afford needed services, despite the fact that premiums would not vary based on health status.
We analyzed average insurer spending as projected for 2017 for all privately insured enrollees younger than age 65 for maternity care, mental health and substance abuse treatment, prescription drugs, and all other services (Exhibit 1). We found that maternity care accounted for 4 percent of per capita insurer spending in our data, and mental health and substance abuse treatment accounted for 1 percent of per capita insurer spending. Prescription drug spending was more substantial, representing approximately 22 percent of per capita insurer spending. These results are similar to those reported in a recent issue brief by the actuarial firm Milliman.
Because premiums are based on per capita insurer spending plus administrative costs, the spending amounts in Exhibit 1 illustrate how premiums might change if coverage for select essential health benefits were excluded from the benefits package.2 If we assume that administrative costs are proportional to spending on services, eliminating maternity, mental health, and substance abuse treatment would reduce premiums by 5 percent. Because prescription drugs encompass a larger share of total spending, eliminating this benefit would lead to a larger reduction in premiums—decreasing them by 22 percent.
Eliminating the essential health benefits requirement could also have secondary effects on premiums. For example, the lower premiums that result from eliminating certain benefits could encourage healthier people to enroll in individual market coverage and improve the overall risk pool. Such an effect would likely be small if maternity care or substance abuse and mental health treatment were eliminated, given that these services account for a relatively small share of insurer spending. However, the effect might be larger if coverage for prescription drugs were removed, given that these benefits represent a larger share of insurer spending. In contrast, eliminating certain benefits could lead to higher spending on covered services. For example, poorly managed depression may increase medical spending among those with chronic conditions,3 and lack of access to prescription drugs may lead to costly complications for some patients.4 Our analysis does not take these spillover effects into account.
In all cases, eliminating the benefit substantially increases costs for people who use these services. For example, out-of-pocket spending for a woman in need of maternity care could rise from an average of $737 if the benefit were covered to $8,631 if the benefit were eliminated, resulting in an increase in spending of $7,894. For a typical consumer in need of maternity services, this represents more than an 11-fold increase in out-of-pocket expenditures for maternity care. For a typical consumer of mental health and substance abuse services, out-of-pocket spending would increase from $437 to $1,525 if these services were removed from the benefit. For consumers in high need of care, eliminating the essential health benefit has a larger effect. For example, spending among those with a mental health or substance abuse–related inpatient stay could increase by over $14,000, a ninefold increase in out-of-pocket spending on mental health treatment. Eliminating the benefits therefore leads to large out-of-pocket spending increases for those who use services and reduces premiums by a smaller amount for everyone enrolled in the market. This finding reflects that, by incorporating these benefits into the standard premium, costs are redistributed so that each enrollee pays a little bit more to offset treatment costs for those who need care.
These analyses lead to mixed conclusions about the effectiveness of eliminating essential health benefits as an approach for reducing premiums. Our analysis suggests that eliminating maternity coverage and substance abuse and mental health treatment would reduce premiums by about 5 percent, assuming that administrative costs are proportional to insurer spending, and without accounting for spillover effects. Eliminating coverage for prescription drugs could have a larger effect on premiums, potentially reducing them by 22 percent, in part because many patients use prescription drugs. However, eliminating insurance coverage for any of these services would dramatically increase out-of-pocket costs for people who need maternity care, have a mental health condition, or need prescription drugs. For pregnant women and those in high need of mental health services, out-of-pocket spending on these services could increase by a factor of 9 or more if these services were dropped from the EHB. Those who use prescription drugs could experience a fivefold increase in out-of-pocket spending on pharmaceuticals if drug benefits were eliminated. Such changes could lead to financial hardship for those in the greatest need of care, reducing the usefulness of insurance as a mechanism to guard against financial risk.
This post has been updated from the May 2017 version.
1 "Grandfathered plans," which existed before the ACA was signed into law and which have not made major changes since that time, are exempt from this requirement. More information can be found at the following links: https://www.cms.gov/cciio/resources/data-resources/ehb.html and https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/11/18/2015-29294/final-rules-for-grandfathered-plans-preexisting-condition-exclusions-lifetime-and-annual-limits.
2 The reduction in premiums would correspond to the reduction in per capita insurer spending, plus the reduction in associated administrative costs. Given medical loss ratio requirements included in the ACA, administrative costs can be no more than 25 percent of covered expenditures for individual market plans. So, under the assumption that administrative costs are equivalent for all essential health benefit categories, a $100 reduction in spending would correspond to a $125 reduction in premiums.
3 See, for example, W. Katon J. Russo, E. Lin et al., "Cost-Effectiveness of a Multicondition Collaborative Care Intervention: A Randomized-Control Trial," Archives of General Psychiatry, May 2012 69(5):506–14.
4 See, for example, M. C. Sokol, K. A. McGuigan, R. R. Verbrugge et al., "Impact of Medicaid Adherence on Hospitalization Risk and Healthcare Cost," Medical Care, June 2005 43(6):521–30.
5 These conditions are defined as priority conditions by MEPS because they have a relatively high prevalence and because generally accepted standards of care for these conditions have been developed. See https://meps.ahrq.gov/data_stats/download_data/pufs/h171/h171doc.shtml.
6 Our analysis assumes that insurers drop coverage for excluded EHBs. In theory it would be possible for insurers to continue to offer these benefits without a requirement to do so, however, it is unclear whether that approach would be sustainable from a business standpoint. If some plans offered coverage for excluded services while others did not, people in need of the services would disproportionately enroll in the plans that offered them. This would lead users in need of care to become concentrated in plans that offered coverage for excluded services, raising premiums in these plans.
7 For example, in the maternity care row, out-of-pocket spending under current law for those in high-need (column 2) is lower than out-of-pocket spending among all users (column 1). This may partly be due to statistical imprecision, as there are only 16 high-need maternity care users in the data. It is also possible that consumers with greater needs enroll in more generous plans that have lower cost-sharing requirements, and hence have lower out-of-pocket costs despite higher overall spending.

Local Maker Industry Celebrated During National Week of Making
Strickland pledges to support, promote local maker economy.
by Bianca Phillips
In an age when it's hip to buy local, Memphis-based makers, artisans, and micro-manufacturers are coming together to promote their products and strengthen their community. And they've got the backing of Mayor Jim Strickland.
On Tuesday, June 21st, Strickland will sponsor a public Makers Faire in front of City Hall from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Local vendors will sell everything from handmade home decor to artisan food products. Makers, including a crew from the National Ornamental Metal Museum, will host demos, and food trucks will be onsite. To kick it off, Strickland will sign the Mayor's Maker Challenge, a pledge to support the growth of local makers.
The city-backed event is one of several local maker events happening next week as part of the White House's National Week of Making, which runs from June 17th to 23rd.
The Memphis delegation at the Makers Cities Summit
The definition of "maker" has evolved a little over the past few years. While the term was once mostly associated with engineering-oriented pursuits, such as robotics or 3D printing, it's now used as a wider term that also embraces a community of artisans, who may make everything from jewelry to ceramics to homemade jams and jellies.
"It's anything that can be made by hand," said Brit McDaniel, who makes ceramics through her company Paper and Clay.
McDaniel was one of five Memphians who recently traveled to Brooklyn, New York, for a Makers Cities Summit, sponsored by the craft-vending website Etsy. Memphis was chosen as one of 13 cities (from more than 126 cities that applied) to attend the summit.
"As part of that summit, we worked to create an action plan for making Memphis a city that will support makers," McDaniel said.
That action plan included convincing Strickland to sign the Mayor's Maker Challenge, through which the city will pledge to develop strategies for education, training, and workforce development for makers and to do more to support makers working in under-served communities. It also calls on the city to host a maker roundtable, which is scheduled to occur just before the Makers Faire next weekend.
"That will bring 10 makers from diverse backgrounds to sit at the table with the mayor and other city leaders to discuss their experiences, what the obstacles have been, and what's working well," McDaniel said.
The Week of Making will kick off on Friday, June 17th with an Etsy-sponsored Meet Your Makers Happy Hour at City & State from 5 to 7 p.m. That event will function as a networking event for local makers.
Also kicking off on Friday, June 17th, is a makers needs-assessment survey for the Made By Project, a new initiative aimed at getting a better understanding of the local maker economy. While the Etsy summit action plan is more of a short-term plan, the Made By Project's organizer Nicole Heckman says they're looking at the long-term needs of Memphis' maker community.
"The Made By Project's goal is to come away with an implementable action plan of things that Memphis can do to support the maker, artisan, and micro-manufacturer community," Heckman said. "That could be anything from more studio space to educational offerings to services, programs, financing, or micro-loans."
City of Memphis Grants Coordinator Maria Furhmann, who also traveled with the Memphis delegation to the Etsy summit, points out the importance of small-scale makers on the local economy.
"If you get a factory with 500 jobs, that factory could pull out. But if you start 100 new small businesses with 5 employees each, they're not going to disappear all at once," Furhmann said. "Investing in these artisans and micro-manufacturers is a way to encourage neighborhood economic revitalization, possible uses for vacant commercial spaces, and it promotes living wages, talent attraction, and cultural promotion."

Tanis Wolf / Tara Flik Wolf / Tara Flik Wood GUILTY AS CHARGED
April 13, 2018 GallusMag
Tanis Wolf / Tara Flik Wolf/Tara Flik Wood
Justice prevails in the case of the young man who punched and beat Maria MacLachlan in Hyde Park on September 13 of last year as she was en route to a discussion of changes to the legal rights of women caused by a proposed re-write of the UK Gender Recognition Act. The discussion was hosted by women's group We Need To Talk.
Tara Flik Wood (born Tanis Wolf) had posted on Facebook his intent to inflict violence on feminists before committing the attack, and his assault was captured on video by at least three people.
Assailant posted statement of intent. (Facebook)
Wolf launched a public defense campaign "#FreeTheSheWolf" apparently based on the Nazi "sexploitation" B-movie "Ilsa: SheWolf of the SS".
The transgender community widely supported Wolf/Wood's violent actions, including many high profile trans activists such as Roz Kaveney, Ruth Pearce, Owen Jones, Shon Faye, Katelyn Burns, Bex Stinson, Zinnia Jones, among others, who considered the assault of Maria MacLachlan as a type of male "honor" crime against a woman they suspected of not adhering to their gender beliefs. No transgender rights organization, LGBT group, or transgender activist publicly condemned his assault.
Wolf was accompanied to court by Ananya Jaidev, an Oxford graduate in Literature who is reportedly herself under investigation for assaulting a woman outside a different February 2018 discussion on the impact to women's rights caused by proposed changes to the Gender Recognition Act. She allegedly struck and snatched the eyeglasses off the face of a woman exiting the event. Ananya Jaidev is a member of fringe group Sister's Uncut. The group was started in 2014 as a direct action protest against government cuts to women's services, but rapidly degenerated into a venue for posh young people to demand that strangers affirm the indefinable "gender identities" of those who believe reproductive classification should be determined by personality.
Ready for his closeup: a newly blonde Tara Wolf with Ananya Jaidev on left.
Other supporters of Tanis/Tara Wolf/Wood outside the courtroom included the unidentified blonde woman who told Times reporter Janice Turner "I'm happy they hit her" as well as a throng of Antifa men wearing masks to conceal their identities. Worth mention were a couple of basement dwellers outfitted in full combat gear who brought their pit bull for support.
Ready for combat, #FreeTheSheWolf trial attendees.
The transgender warrior tried to claim in court that he was terrified that photos of himself would be used to horrifically "out" him online as shamefully trans, but he had a public Facebook account where he was "out" and also a crowdfunder e-begging for plastic surgery money. The day after he attacked Maria he posted a succinct update to that crowdfunder, a death threat to feminists: "#DeadTerfs".
On the first day of the two day trial, District Judge Kenneth Grant ordered the victim to pretend in court that the man who punched her was not male.
Judge Kenneth Grant ordered a woman who was assaulted by a man specifically because she is female to pretend she believes he is also female, because the male perpetrator identifies as transgender.
The Telegraph reports:
He said: "The defendant wished to be referred to as a woman, so perhaps you could refer to her as 'she' for the purpose of the proceedings."
Ms MacLachlan replied: "I'm used to thinking of this person who is a male as male."
Even the prejudicial court couldn't hand wave the overwhelming evidence though, and so:
Guilty verdict. Women held in court due to danger from violent trans activists.
There it is. If you're a 26 year old man with a hairdo and some lipstick you can punch a 61 year old woman in the face whenever you suspect she doesn't really believe you are actually a woman. LGBT lobbying orgs will support you, and trash your victim. Transgender activists will embrace you and contribute money to you. The male judge will order the woman you punched to pretend she thinks you are female. You will pay a £400 fine and serve no jail time and no parole. Consider it the price to pay for your honor.
On the other hand, as @MayDay4Women opines:
A £430 doesn't seem like much. No community service. No jail time. But, importantly, it means this violent man is barred forever from working with vulnerable groups, so blocked from working in schools, care homes etc. and now has various travel restrictions.
So at least that's something. Until he changes his name again and gets a Gender Recognition Certificate and his records are sealed to "protect his gender identity".
No wonder these guys hate their "dead names".
But we'll remember. And in time, we'll undo the harms legal "gender recognition" perpetrates on all of us of the female sex, all of the Maria MacLachlan's of the world.

Statement by Tara Wolf:
Today Tara flick wolf was fined £150 for an assault which, according to the district judge, Tara had "low culpability" for and in which "low harm" was caused.
The district judge described the behavior of maria mclunnahn, the complainant in the case, as "aggressive", and her provocative and aggressive behavior was taken into account in the choice to issue such a low fine.
Throughout the trial, the claimant and witnesses in support of her spitefully referred to Ms. Tara Wolf using "he" pronouns, despite being instructed to desist in this behavior by the district judge. These bigots were offered the opportunity to refer to Ms. Wolf as "the Defendant", an inoffensive gender neutral term, but persisted in their campaign of harassment against Ms. Wolf by repeatedly misgendering her, intent on continuing to cause psychological harm against the defendant.
Throughout the trail, witnesses were harassed and intimidated by friends of the complainant, including an incident in which a supporter of the prosecution followed a vulnerable woman into the toilets and screaming "liar".
Tara Wolf said "This ruling, that my actions were provoked and for which I hold low culpability, is a victory for trans people against violent trans exclusionary "radical feminists". My ongoing harassment at the hands of these transphobic bigots has been taken into account in the sentencing. I stand proud of my actions in defense of my lesbian partner and queer people everywhere."
"mclunnahn"
I'm cackling at this very professional """article"""
Alan Henness says:
Well, he'd been in the pub for several hours by then…
I've never heard of levels of culpability being an official thing in British courts. I'm British. You're either guilty or not guilty. This guy was found guilty.
Exactly. And for him to ADMIT that he was 'provoked' just further reinforces the very real concern that females are permitted to hold for the ongoing male violence that exists when the tranny brigade is permitted into female safe spaces.
He is, quite honestly, very fortunate he is not in the States, because HERE, someone would not hesitate to exercise a right to self-defense using items we are permitted to carry. I can GUARANTEE you that Tanis "Tara" Flik Wood would NOT pull this shit in Texas…and if he tries, it would be the final act of his pathetic life.
kesher says:
There are lots of MTT antifa douchebags in the States though. I assume they don't get much traction in Texas, but in Portland and Berkeley? Absolutely.
A white antifa MTT in Portland attacked a black man for filming antifa activities, although the black man shut him down fast. Another MTT in San Francisco provoked an interracial couple with racist slurs and ran crying to the cops when they fought back. I don't think that guy was affiliated with antifa, but he fits the model of straight white male larpers writing checks their asses can't cash. That's not just a UK phenomenon.
atranswidow says:
I'm so glad this is over for Maria and can't begin to say how much I admire her. I had hoped for a short prison sentence, but at least now he has previous. He won't get a GRC……he's not remotely interested in doing things by the book.
The thing that bothered me the most was that District Judge ordering Maria to refer to her attacker as "she". I have never referred to my ex as anything but "he" during all our court hearings. He doesn't turn up to hearings anymore, it hurts his feelings.
My son, looking over my shoulder, just asked me why I was looking at pictures of "that Emo guy". LOL.
Windy says:
was it actually an order from the judge, or a request? The way it was written in the article it sounded more like a request or suggestion to me, not an order. Of course the power differential between a judge and a witness can make a request sound like an order, but I belive there is a legal difference.
Without seeing an official transcript from the court proceedings I am unable to definitively answer your question. My view of the matter, and this is pure conjecture, is that there would have been some discussion in chambers between the judge and the legal representatives of the crown and the defendant on the question of pronoun usage. (I have worked in the court services for many years and you would be surprised at what is discussed in chambers before the trial.)
Given that the judge publicly took the victim's inability to follow his request/order into account as a mitigating factor during sentencing, I am very sure of my premise. The last thing he would have wanted was an appeal from the defendant that the judge had allowed the victim to misgender the defendant and, perhaps be accused of bias.
By the way, pronoun usage and identity has been a thorny subject in my own protracted civil proceedings. I have never referred to the man that I married as anything other than the correct 3rd person male pronoun in court.
SkyLark Phillips says:
Excellent reporting Gallus.
He should have gotten jail time. A punk like that roughing up a 60 year old woman. Like all bullies, he chose to attack someone weaker than he is. How brave of this coward…
Aren't there hate crime laws in the UK? He should have also been charged with hate crimes. He posted that he wanted to "fuck some terfs up". He deliberately chose to surround and attack a 60 year old woman based on her gender identity. That is, her "cis gender" gender identity. "Cis" is a gender identity. Isn't age also a protected class of people? Isn't sex a protected class? This definitely was premeditated. Did the judge see his tweets that he wanted to "fuck some terfs up"? So, he came spoiling for a fight.
A couple of months in jail would send the right message.
It seems hard to imagine that Mr. Wolf will be able to restrain his violent woman-hating criminality for long.

So Maria Mac's assailant was less culpable because she was too aggressive, while the Ulster rugby players weren't guilty because their victim was too passive. From here it looks a lot like a double bind, but maybe someone can mansplain the type/amount of assertiveness women should display to avoid male violence?
Did someone call? Let me mansplain it:
The law is an ass – a Jack, of course, not a Jenny.
I used to think my age would protect me. Obviously, we see that isn't true.
Love the Jean Harlow impersonation! … although JH always managed to look cagey and smart, not like some drug-addled freak. JH would never have left her house with shitty hair and lipstick and would have entered that courtroom like a boss instead of a bag lady.
Sorry Tara, you flunk out *most spectacularly* once again. Just stop trying, its painful. (averts eyes)
In the wake of this trial The Times has published two articles…….the first is entitled "Trans attacker is a thug, says feminist"…….no, Wolf is not a thug because some random feminist decided to call him one. He is a thug because he assaulted a woman who had peacefully gathered with other women to discuss matters which affect women, and which the government and the opposition have decided to ignore. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/trans-attacker-tara-wolf-is-a-thug-says-feminist-maria-maclachlan-pq0bwvthv
The other article is an excellent piece by Janice Turner entitled "Trans activists think debate is hate speech". She puts recent events in court, the inability of WPUK to meet peacefully without trans activists harassing venue organisers, the crazy situation in sport, the threat to free speech on Mum'snet, and the hounding of Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull by Susie Green of Mermaids. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/trans-activists-think-debate-is-hate-speech-hsh7vpmzt
All of this goes back to the fact that Maria Miller denied women a chance to air their views and enter into the debate at the Trans Enquiry. If women had been given a voice then much of recent events would of had a different outcome.
Janice Turner:
A friend wants to organise a public debate on changes to the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) with speakers from both sides: trans activists and sceptical feminists. Good luck with that, I said. It was probably easier to get all parties to the table for the Oslo accords.
How do you debate when one side believes no debate can exist, that to ask questions is hate speech and must be silenced even with force? Yesterday the trans activist Tara Wolf, 26, was found guilty of assaulting the 60-year-old feminist Maria MacLachlan in Hyde Park before a meeting on the GRA. I witnessed it. A young, angry 6ft-plus hooded person punched her around the face. After the verdict police warned Ms MacLachlan's supporters not to leave court because masked activists were waiting outside.
On Thursday the Mercure Hotel in Cardiff cancelled a longstanding booking for a meeting to be held that day by the group A Woman's Place, on the grounds it "does not tolerate any form of racist, sexist or bigoted behaviour". Bigoted? The speakers, including a feminist writer and a former Welsh Assembly member, were there to defend existing law. It is hardly a far-out position to uphold the 2010 Equalities Act which permits female-only exemptions for rape crisis and domestic violence refuges.
A Woman's Place has six demands, including "respectful and evidence-based discussion" and for impact assessments on how proposed changes to the GRA, allowing natal men to self-ID as women, will affect data-gathering on crime, health and the gender pay gap. Pretty extreme stuff. This was the latest event to be cancelled after trans activists bombarded venues with intimidation and abuse. Glasgow, Lewisham, the Conway Hall . . . even Millwall FC, famed for their slogan "fear no foe", withdrew a recent room booking after their switchboard was jammed and protests threatened. A Woman's Place must ticket an event without revealing its location until a few hours before the start. Even then, as in Cardiff, it must secure a back-up venue. (A primary school whose governor activists are now hounding).
How does this happen? This is a complex debate but on the phone to meek receptionists and scared middle managers, trans activists keep it simple. They say: "These evil women are social conservatives who hate trans people. They're like Tory bigots who brought in Section 28 and hated gays. They want to eradicate trans women; they incite violence against them. They deny their humanity and want them dead. Do you want your company to be part of that?"
It is ludicrous, of course. The feminists, including many lesbians, have fought for LGBT rights: without exception they believe trans people should live free from violence, indignity or discrimination. (A Woman's Place has trans members and speakers.) Moreover gay people sought only the right to love who they wished and for that love to receive equal recognition: gay rights had no impact upon the rights of anyone else.
Gender self-ID has serious implications for women's rights, yet the Tory minister Maria Miller led an inquiry that proposed it should become law without hearing from a single women's organisation. Hundreds of women have contacted me expressing concerns they daren't raise in public. They were incensed that self-ID would allow a rapist with intact male genitalia into a women's prison; infuriated that male-bodied athletes, like the New Zealand weightlifter, Laurel Hubbard, can enter women's sporting competitions; fearful that predatory men (NB not genuine trans women) will exploit self-ID to prey upon them in changing rooms or dormitories; outraged by an ideology that insists a penis can be a female organ. Above all they are sick of being told, mainly by left-wing men who love lecturing feminists from presumed moral high ground, to shut up and make way for "progress".
Yet the simplified trans version cuts through because it plays to a company's worst fears: being hounded on social media. Mumsnet is a rare forum where feminist anxiety about trans ideology is allowed to be aired. The website takes no position, it merely upholds free speech. However, activists are now threatening Mumsnet advertisers, telling them to stop "funding bigotry" or face a Twitter storm and possible boycott. They hope that, fearful of losing revenue, Mumsnet will delete and ban the debates.
Even the police have leapt in to silence feminist dissent. A Wiltshire woman, Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, was questioned under caution by West Yorkshire police. They had received a complaint that Ms Keen-Minshull had tweeted that Susie Green, chief executive of Mermaids, a trans charity for children, had her son "castrated" when he was 16. Ms Green complained of hate speech and Twitter had handed over Ms Keen-Minshull's location to police.
Ms Green has often spoken publicly about how she took her child to Thailand for genital surgery at an age when it is illegal in Britain (and indeed is now illegal in Thailand). Perhaps Ms Keen-Minshull's tweet was unkind and crude but was it hate speech? Or, given that Ms Green campaigns to lower the NHS age limits for prescribing cross-sex hormones and surgery, is it a matter of public interest? The Crown Prosecution Service decided not to prosecute.
A proper debate on the GRA is essential: what is proposed is nothing less than changing the very definition of man and woman in law — biology replaced with identity. The trans lobby does not represent the vast majority of trans people, quietly getting on with their lives, who understand women's concerns and are willing to discuss political red lines. (Many of them write to me.) Most feminists are desperate to find common cause, to have that "respectful and evidence-based discussion". I hope my friend is right: let's talk.
The Twitter comments on the second article are a hoot. Lot of WELL WHEN WILL TRANS GET A PIECE IN A MAJOR NEWS PUBLICATION. 1) they do and 2) is having society tiptoe around your feelings to the point misgendering is considered "violence" or incitement worth violence not enough?
radfemspiraling says:
So, male government will encourage dudes to punch uppity women for the bargain basement fee of 400 pounds.
There are a lot of dudes that would gladly pay 400 pounds to punch a woman.
Also, it is fucking animal abuse to turn a dog into a fucking weapon. But dudes weaponize everything. Violence is the only thing that males understand.
If that dog's anything like the bully-breed I've been looking after today, the only dangerous thing about it will be its intestinal gas. This dog also enjoys sitting on random strangers' feet until they stroke him.
Seriously though, poor doggo had no water and shouty, confrontational places aren't good for dogs. Arseholes.
It is rare for a pit to be people aggressive. They were BRED to be dog aggressive.
Women didn't breed any dogs to be aggressive. We don't do that.
I have a pit that is a rescue. He was turned into the rescue by a male that turned him in for not being aggressive enough.
Generally speaking, most women want dogs for companionship. Males want a dog to weaponize in some way. Of course, I bet those dudes with the dog and faces covered would insist that the dog is for PROTECTION, THO. And that would be yet another male reversal, as if they need protection outside of the courthouse from the 60 year old violent lady. The dog just adds another layer to their intimidation.
Pits have been ruined, as a breed. Males did that. And the dogs did not deserve it.
I thought the UK had a ban on pitbulls.
We do. They are really poorly and unevenly implemented, but it's officially illegal to breed pit bulls.
I don't think that's a pit. It's a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross of some sort.

SkepticalMom says:
So the word "uncut" in "Sisters Uncut" refers to budget cuts? I learn something new every day. Feel free to laugh at my ignorance: I assumed "uncut" referred to their penises, because these male "sisters" all still have their dicks and balls.
petuniacat00 says:
😂😂🤣 I first heard the name of that group I guess in a non-trans context and I thought it was an anti-female genital mutilation charity. Seemed kind of good, in-your-face name if it had been that. And yes I only learned recently it's about budget cuts. And they're a fake anti-VAW group. 🙄
hearthrising says:
That's what I thought it meant too.
I would lay my uterus on line to bet that the double entendre was deliberate. Dudes can't help talking about their dicks. Even in a frock.

Sadly, probably inevitably, Mumsnet has been forced to change it's moderation policy on trans related issues. Terms such as "trans-identified male" will be moderated, and pronoun usage monitored. On the other-hand, the use of "cis" and "terf" will also be deleted. Those who persistently report non contentious posts will be suspended.

I was also thinking that female allies and lesbians who are concerned and fighting for biological female only space, events, groups etc could go back to having these private meetings at their own homes and apartments in small groups. Similar to what women did many years ago when fighting for our rights. Its also ironic that women and lesbians seem to have less rights now than they did many years ago. Declaring lesbian groups/events a religious organization for female protection etc.
Anglo says:
I've been thinking about starting my own gang! Stuck here in the UK, I can't find any other women, gay or straight, who want to join except my eighty-seven year old mother who admits she has quietly "dropped out" of society because she can no longer follow what's going on.
Also, I had a thought about the whole "drop the T" thing. Since most lesbians seem to support the trans movement, it's the "L" that needs dropping. Take those of us who have reached peak trans out of the group and you are almost left with "BGT". Shove a couple of vowels in and there you go.
Leave the BIGOTs and start our own group because they sure as hell don't want us in theirs.
ProudCrone says:
I like the way you think! I'm almost as old as your mum and was active during the Second Wave, and I just can't take it any more, the way "transgender" has embarked on its quest to take away the few dignities and rights women have and substitute themselves so that women are reduced to whatever transgenders say we are–nobodies and in their "reality", non-existent.. The "queer" crap doesn't get it, either. It makes me want to throw up my hands because these people actually think they *know something* and they're just ignorant.
The real problem is that transgenders have invaded every public space and institution because so many people have allowed it due to their own ignorance about what sex and gender actually are, even those in govt who can be stubbornly ignorant because it's women complaining about it. This comes from THE TOP of any of those institutions and there is absolutely no scientific basis for it. What is needed is more mental health facilities and care and a snapback to reality for people, esp who have embraced cyberspace to the exclusion of other humans in our lives, a poor substitute and one in which there is much ignorance and posturing.
The cry from all quarters about giving transgenders "respect" for their "humanity" when there is none forthcoming from them rings hollow, imo. You don't live a long life and elect to suffer humiliation and abuse from men of any kind, no matter how they present themselves, just to excuse their misogyny and torture of your own self. This is what men want. They won't get it from me.
This is also what happened during the Reagan 80s in America, the "just say no", hang-the-junkies era.
Once upon a time, I smoked weed on a greyhound bus in the middle of the country, in the middle of literally nowhere; on a commercial airline in the smoking section (not even in the toilet!); in the middle of Fifth Ave; right beside a police station in DC… and so on… and guess what? Nobody cared. Really! And then, suddenly, a bad actor was in charge and tolerant hippie USA turned fascistic regarding drugs (so they could whip up support for the drug war that made their GOP friends rich) and started considering pot smokers on the level of heroin dealers, and recommenced jailing potheads (they had lightened up under the Ford and Carter admins) in droves.
And the whole scene went underground. Invitation only.
Deadheads endured by going into tents, vans, buses and SUVs during shows, emerging smiling… but no smoking where one could be photographed or viewed. If someone asked you, you didn't know shit, just like the early 70s. Only people you knew and already trusted. Edibles came into being at this time. Everyone was super-protective and gave everyone else warnings and heads-up, as needed.
This is what is required. We must start to consider ourselves outlaws. (Ironically, Mary Daly already said that a long time ago and I thought she was being soooo alarmist, lol.)
We can't even brainstorm about counter-insurgencies since all our brainstorming is in public; trans women are extremely STEM-savvy and can seemingly invade any private online space. (And how do we know online-participants are even who they claim to be?) We have to meet and plan in person, in private.
The thing is, re: the potheads, it all happened organically. People just DID it, there was no real coordination necessary. It was instinctive. I wish women (as a group) were as instinctive about saving themselves as men are.
We need to go back to private enclaves, as in the early civil rights, feminist and gay movements. Its hard to stuff the genie back in the bottle, but as we believed during Reagan: think of it as temporary, a battle in the overall war that we have momentarily lost. It will give you the impetus to go on!
We can do it… but first we have to convince other feminists it is necessary, which might be the hardest part. 🙁

Thank you for catching the misspelling! I managed to get her name right in the photo caption but misspelled it in the piece. Corrected!
I was struck by the similarity between this story from the Middle Ages and what Wolf and other TIMs have said about the Hyde Park incident. It's also the excuse of a domestic abuser–that the marks left on the victim are simply an artefact of his self-defense against her violent and unprovoked attack.
"In Malleus Maleficarum, the landmark medieval treatise on witchcraft, a 13th-century folk story is recounted, whereby three witches turned themselves into cats, attacked a man on the street and accused him of assault in court, showing the marks on their bodies."

Men have been telling the same lies for centuries–only the word chosen to demonize women changes.

You got one name slightly wrong. It's Ananya Jaidev. After the great privilege of a private education followed by Oxford University, she is a senior consultant at ComRes, a big and respected London firm, on a big, fat salary. At the weekends she's a hobby class warrior, a fake-anarchist and enjoys standing around holding banners for men in lipstick who are doing the pub having a few pints.
Thank you! Corrected!
May Loo says:
Wonderful. So the person who commits the crime, gets a light sentence. This won't deter Mr.Wolf from bad behavior in the future, will it? No, he'll be free to punch anyone who dares to question his 'femininity', and worst part is, he will likely get away with it. Because you know, he's trans and his rights are more important than that of any lowly born female.
Yes he certainly got off light for such an ugly violent attack. On the other hand, thanks to Maria's tenacity and courage Tanis has a criminal record now. The next time he commits a crime against a woman (and I believe it is only a matter of time) the sentencing will take his record into account as a pattern of offending.
Yes and then he will get sent to the Laydees Prison. I am sure they will welcome him with open arms.
Even after all that 'misgendering' of him, the sky hasn't fallen, the earth hasn't exploded, the end-times haven't arrived, the sun is still rising, Spring is still on its way…
Medi says:
Tanis-root is now on record. And attacks on women by the anti-fa trans mafia need to be well documented. This case went better than expected because the filming of the event proved the truth and exposed the lies. The whole misgendering thing that the judge brought up was ridiculous and Maria didn't go along with that either. Good work on the reporting internationally of this trial, and the whole event at Speaker's Corner from the very beginning.
I've been reading this blog for many years, and gained a very valuable insight on just how dangerous the trans cult really is. All mainstream reporting of "bathroom bills" doesn't even come close to the issue in mainstream liberal land. If you don't think about this stuff, and see what is happening to actual women who challenge these men, it becomes yet another hidden movement for male supremacy and violence against women's freedom of speech. Thanks for the consistent reporting Gallus and thanks to all the brave women who step up worldwide.

I know not everyone is in a position where they can use their own names, but one of the reasons I do is I don't want to be surprised by getting in trouble. I want to be ready.
I often think about the way abortion became legal in North America: many, many women went public about their own abortions. It became impossible to sustain the conversation in a way that suggested only some kinds of women got them — women nobody knew. When women went public, women realized "I am not alone" and men realized "I had better stop grandstanding about this because it's about lots of women I do in fact know; I didn't know what I was talking about". I do think at present a lot of trans politics is about sustaining the illusion that "everybody" [except a few religious nutters] is on side. So just coming across evidence that someone whose name you recognize and whom you otherwise consider sensible thinks otherwise can be really powerful.
How old does a woman have to be before her assailant is charged with elder abuse? The police in the US have tasered 70-something women who were just making a verbal fuss, not making physical contact with anyone..
I want some fake 20 yr old "woman" to punch me or push me down so I can pull out my weapon of choice. I have the right to defend myself against harm.
The male version of "society" is just out of control with all this transgender bullshit which gives men the right to continue the war on women and to engage in theft and deception.
They want war? They'll get it, the sniveling cowards.
Fascinating courtroom report from the Tanis/Tara Wolf/Wood case:
Trans-identified male, Tara Wolf, charged with assault after Hyde Park attack
Jen Izaakson reports from the courtroom, as Tara Wolf is tried for assaulting Maria MacLachlan.
APRIL 27, 2018 by JEN IZAAKSON
Tara Wolf, about to strike Maria MacLaughlan at Hyde Park, September 13, 2017.
Earlier this month, Tara Wolf (also known as Tara Flik Wood), a trans-identified male, stood trial for striking 60-year-old Maria MacLachlan three times in Hyde Park on September 13th 2017, where women had gathered to attend a meeting called "We Need to Talk About Gender" at a yet-to-be-disclosed location. Wolf was found guilty of "assault by beating," more commonly known as "battery."
The two-day trial began on 9:30 a.m. on April 12th.
Two dozen individuals — mostly men with masks on, some in full combat gear — accompanied Wolf to court. Many were wearing the all black uniform of Antifa, replete with bandanas and sunglasses. Most were recognized by a member of our group as belonging to Class War, an anarchist organization that Wolf is also a member of. Others were members of Sisters Uncut, a group originally formed (ironically) to fight cuts to domestic violence services but that now focuses its energy on protesting and trying to shut down meetings women have been organizing, of late, to discuss gender identity legislation and women's sex-based rights. Many of those present on the first day of the trial had also been at the original Hyde Park incident where MacLachlan was attacked. Three of Wolf's supporters brought fighting dogs (Dobermans and Mastiffs), as well as a huge sound system blaring death metal. Half stayed outside the court, half came in. The machismo of it all was palpable.
Tara Wolf and some of his supporters, outside court.
Two of Tara Wolf's supporters outside court.
A few of us who were attending to support MacLachlan arrived at court at the same time as this motley crew, which meant standing in the security queue alongside them. Despite appearances, they were a very tame bunch. A masked duo behind us were the only ones who gave us any trouble — one woman took our photograph without permission, then asked, "Who is your feminism even for?" The three of us responded, "Women!" The man standing next to her (his face covered by a lovely knitted scarf) said, "You all just hate men." We responded, "Yes, we hate men!" Another of MacLachlan's supporters in the queue clarified, "Well, I hate sexism." After telling him, "Get lost, you bloody Nigel!" the knitted man said no more.
Outside the courtroom, we waited to be let in. Wolf's supporters didn't engage much with one another. MacLachlan's supporters hugged hello, smiled, joked, and chatted. Wolf had bleached his hair blonde for the trial and wore leather boots with heels so high he could barely walk (there were a few strange, laboured minutes in court where Wolf would take his big boots on and off, making us all watch this strange ritual).

Artemis Jade says:
I'd like to know who is "final defence witness.. Katherine Higgins. Video showed Higgins at Hyde Park, watching as her friend is shoved by the man with the ponytail after he attacked MacLachlan." Could this be the young woman in the powder blue that Magdalen Berns had a few things to say about? Starting at the 4:18 mark:
Maybe. Interesting that Higgins is the only defence witness who didn't use the word 'TERF' on the stand.
I was always more curious, though, about the young woman being shoved. Her body language starts out gentle as she tries to get the transactivist to calm down. Then as he turns on her she shrinks in terror and looks utterly shell-shocked. It's the moment in anybody's life where theory meets practice.
