Three Unions Show There's Life Beyond Dues Checkoff

All 300 locals of the Indiana teachers union have moved to bank draft in the face of threats from the Republican-dominated legislature to outlaw dues deduction. Photo: Nick Atkins.
Employers are always looking for sources of leverage. One way they may hit a union in the wallet is by targeting dues checkoff—an agreement that requires the employer to deduct dues from union members' paychecks.
Anti-union politicians have already banned dues checkoff for public sector union members in Wisconsin and for teachers in Alabama and Michigan—and have threatened to do so in many more states, including Indiana, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania. Their goal is to make the administration of the union as cumbersome as possible, sapping time and energy.
Rather than let employers and politicians dangle this sword over them indefinitely, a few unions have chosen to take the matter into their own hands, ditching checkoff in favor of collecting dues themselves. The most common method is to have members voluntarily agree to allow the union to transfer funds from their bank accounts.
Other unions, such as Tennessee's United Campus Workers, never had checkoff as an option to begin with. Here are some lessons from three unions that don't rely on the boss to collect their dues.
Massachusetts hospitals underwent a series of large mergers towards the end of the 1990s. Seeing the trend, the Massachusetts Nurses Association set out to establish common standards across every workplace.
The union lined up contract expiration dates for the year 2000, built towards a credible strike threat, and studied the employer's playbook.
In the private sector, checkoff is a part of nearly all collective bargaining agreements. But for decades, when the contract expired, so did the employer's obligation to collect union dues. (The Labor Board overturned this longstanding precedent in 2015, but it could soon be reversed again by the Trump Labor Board.) Many employers used this threat as a source of leverage.
"We knew that if we went beyond the contract expiration date and were building to a strike vote, then the employer would shut off dues deduction and our ability to be well-resourced in a fight," said Julie Pinkham, MNA's executive director.
So the union wove a "Union Direct" education campaign into its contract campaign. Activists talked one on one with their co-workers, asking members to make the switch if they were serious about raising standards and winning a better contract.
Through this campaign, 35 percent of members switched to bank draft. The union also won some of the model language it was fighting for across units, such as successor language protecting the contract in the event of a merger or sale.
One of the talking points that resonated most with nurses was that dues should be a relationship between a union and its members, not the union and the boss. "Saying 'We let the boss collect our dues' out loud, it just sounds stupid!" Pinkham said.
To get the remaining nurses on board, the union employed a "carrot and stick" strategy.
Members who opted for bank draft got a $35 rebate on their dues for the year. Those who didn't were charged a fee of a dollar a week, since the union has to spend time reviewing monthly spreadsheets line by line to make sure the employer is correctly deducting dues.
"We got to 75 percent pretty quickly as a result of that," said Pinkham—and the union has maintained that level ever since.
INDIANA TEACHERS
The Republican-dominated Indiana legislature has been threatening to outlaw dues deduction for years. After seeing teachers lose it in Alabama and Arizona over the past several years (though they eventually won it back in Arizona), leaders of the Indiana teachers union decided to take the threat off the table.
To work out the kinks, the union started in 2013 with a trial campaign in a handful of locals, then expanded from there. It took four years to get all 300 locals moved to bank draft.
Union staff worked with local leaders to come up with a plan to talk to every member, connecting the change to members' anger at legislative anti-teacher attacks.
"We were worried some people were going to drop their membership," said Sue Ellen Sopher, president of the Maconaquah Education Association. "When money was coming out of their paycheck, many people didn't notice it. When it comes out of your bank account, you do."
"A lot of the plan focused on how we approached the organizing conversations," said Heidi Miller, a staffer for the Indiana State Teachers Association. "We talked about how making the switch was going to cut the legs out from under our enemies because they couldn't threaten to take away dues deduction anymore."
Some locals, including Maconaquah, got to 100 percent bank draft. According to Sopher, what made the difference was setting a strong tone—local leaders making it clear that everyone was expected to move over. Locals that set a more lax tone had more holdouts.
"If you give people an option to opt out, then they will," said Sopher.
TENNESSEE CAMPUS WORKERS
Tennessee state law bars the United Campus Workers (Communications Workers Local 3865) from collective bargaining. The union has never had the opportunity to deduct dues from members' paychecks.
UCW, a non-majority union that represents employees at the state's public universities and colleges, has survived in such a restrictive right-to-work environment by constantly organizing around the issues that members care about, such as blocking attempts to privatize their jobs. The union steers clear of talking about membership as an exchange of services or something that members buy.
Don't Switch for the Wrong Reason
Here's one thing you should not say: "An added benefit of switching to bank draft is that the boss won't know you're a union member!"
That mindset won't build a strong union. You're only as powerful as you are ready to take action together—and you have to be willing to let the boss know it.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, the boss doesn't budge.
Dues provide the resources you need to fight on the issues that matter. But a fight requires more than money—it also requires fighters.
If the union is weak, members may be justifiably afraid that they'll be targeted for union activity. The solution is to build a sense of safety and strength in numbers. Get members together to address workplace problems by taking action publicly, as a group.
"We don't have collective bargaining, but we are organizing a group of people to come together and fight," said Dana Smith, UCW middle-Tennessee organizer. "That requires folks to join, be a member, and help us pool resources through dues."
When members join, they have several dues options. They can sign up for bank draft, which is the preferred method, or they can pay by check for a minimum of six months at a time. They can also sign up to have their debit or credit card billed monthly.
One significant drawback of using bank draft is the danger of overdrafting funds, especially for low-wage workers. The union pulls dues at the same time every month so that members know when to expect it and budget accordingly. But occasionally an account is still overdrawn.
When this happens, the union puts the member's account on hold until a UCW staffer or rank-and-file leader can get in touch.
"We work with them to come up with a plan," said Thelma Jean Rimmer, a custodian at the University of Memphis. "This can mean coming up with dates for when money can be drawn so they can pay their overdraft charge and their dues without overdrafting again or going broke."
Many in the UCW say that dues deduction would be preferable—but the experience of the Texas State Employees Union, a sister CWA local, exposes how politically precarious dues deduction can be. Like the UCW, TSEU is a non-majority union with no collective bargaining rights.
After a 10-year effort, TSEU won legislation in 1991 granting it the right to deduct dues. However, fed up with threats from the state legislature, TSEU is now engaged in a union-wide campaign to move its 10,000 members back to bank draft.

The Government I lead faces an important task as we negotiate our departure from the European Union. But our vision and ambition is bigger than that. Because last summer's referendum was not just a vote to leave the EU. It was an instruction to change the way our whole country works – and the people for whom it works – forever. It was a call to make Britain a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged few.
And I want the United Kingdom to emerge from this period of national change, stronger, fairer, more united and more outward-looking than ever before.
That is why I have set out a Plan for Britain that will deliver a brighter future for our country.
The Government I lead will help to build a stronger economy by investing in the skills, sectors and areas that will deliver for Britain in the long term, and by ensuring that everyone – no matter who they are or where they are from – plays by the same rules.
We will support a fairer society by breaking down the barriers of privilege and spreading jobs, opportunity and prosperity around the country, so that ordinary working people everywhere see that if you want to get on, what matters is the talent you have and how hard you are prepared to work.
We will foster a more united nation as we put the values of fairness, responsibility and citizenship at the heart of everything we do.
And we will forge a more Global Britain, securing a new partnership with Europe that will give us control of our borders and our laws, while trading beyond Europe and building relationships with old friends and new allies alike.
This is our Plan for Britain's future as we seek to make the most of the opportunities ahead.
A Plan to get the get the right deal for Britain abroad and a better deal for ordinary, working people at home.
And by working together, I believe we can deliver this Plan for Britain and build a stronger, fairer Britain that our children and grandchildren are proud to call home.

Bose files
On 15/10/2015 Prime Minister Narendra Modi met members of the Bose family and said the process to declassify Bose files will begin after 100 days on 23/10/2016 on the birth anniversary of Subhash Chandra Bose. That reminds me of his promise to bring back black money from foreign countries and put 15 lakh rupees in every Indian's account within 100 days of coming to power.
Making public Bose files was one of the promises Modi made during his election speeches and it should have been fulfilled more than a year ago. Modi did not fulfil many of the promises he made. The promise of One Rank One Pension was partially fulfilled after ex-servicemen began fast unto death and there was huge negative publicity. In September West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made public Bose files with her government and that forced Modi's hand. He agreed to meet Members of Modi family but delayed it by one month and process of publication is delayed by further 100 days.
Congress while in power refused to make public Bose files claiming it will adversely affect relations.
It is said there was surveillance on Bose family till 1968. It is known West Bengal State Intelligence Bureau opened letters addressed to Bose family members and some letters did not reach Bose family members.
Some claim Bose did not die on 18/8/1945. Some claim he was a prisoner in USSR for 12 years and died there. Some claim he went to China. WB files did not put an end to that speculation.
M. O. Mathai was Principal Private Secretary to Jawaharlal Nehru. Mission Netaji was an organisation involved in finding out about Subhash Chandra Bose's death. Mission Netaji got hold M. O. Mathai's letter UO No. DS/13170 dt. 2/12/1954 which indicated Bose's ashes were received in India between 1950 and 1954. India's official position is Bose's ashes are in Renkoji Temple in Tokyo Japan. It is possible that some ashes were received in India and some are in Renkoji Temple. Jawaharlal Nehru, Rajendra Prasad, Indira Gandhi and Atal Behari Vajpayee had visited the temple.
Shah Nawaz Committee, Khosla Commission and Mukherjee Commission inquired into the death of Bose. Shah Nawaz Committee and Khosla Commission concluded Bose died in plane crash. Mukherjee Commission concluded Bose did not die in plane crash. The Government of India rejected the findings of Mukherjee Commission.
The publication of Bose files with the Government of India will hopefully put an end to speculation about Bose's death.

Guest-blogger Christina Baker Kline: 5 Quotes that Influenced the Writing of a Novel
What fun it was to run into my fellow VCCA resident, novelist Christina Baker Kline, at the recent Women's National Book Association Reading Group panel in New York City. Writer-in-Residence at Fordham University and the author of several novels, she has just published the intriguing Bird in Hand, which opens with a horrifying accident and then delves into the intricacies of betrayal. Read on!
Five Quotes that Influenced the Writing of a Novel
When I'm working on a novel I become obsessed with its themes, and look for inspiration anywhere I can find it. Paintings, photographs, films, poems, essays, novels – everything I take in is filtered through the lens of my current obsession. (I've written about some of the visual inspiration for my new novel, Bird in Hand, here and here.)
Recently I opened a file I kept while working on Bird in Hand. It's filled with newspaper clippings, handwritten and typed pages, poems torn out of magazines, Post-it notes in soft yellow and acid green. One 2"x2" fragment – the bottom of a "To Do" list – has only this, in my handwriting: Don't worry about starting. Just begin. No story is too large to tell. (Did I write these words, or was I quoting someone? Either way, I must have found them inspiring.)
Leafing through this file, I can trace the genesis of my ideas. The scrap of paper, for example, with phone numbers on one side and Four danger signs for a marriage: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, emotional withdrawal scrawled in black pen on the other. Below this I wrote, "Is [Bird in Hand] a love story or a tale of betrayal? Is it about finding your soul mate, or losing everything you hold sacred? How can the two stories be the same?"
Below are some passages I found in the file that shaped my novel-in-progress –- and why:
1) "I used to think if you fell from grace it was more likely than not the result of one stupendous error, or at least an unfortunate accident. I hadn't learned that it can happen so gradually you don't lose your stomach or hurt yourself in the landing. You don't necessarily sense the motion. I've found it takes at least two and generally three things to alter the course of a life: You slip around the truth once, and then again, and one more time, and there you are, feeling, for a moment, that it was sudden, your arrival at the bottom of the heap." -- Jane Hamilton, A Map of the World
This novel-– which, like Bird in Hand, is about the accidental death of a child that sets in motion a series of events that changes the lives of the main characters-– had a huge impact on me. My own opening paragraph, I later realized, echoes the beginning of Hamilton's powerful book.
2) "Those of us who claim exclusivity in love do so with a liar's courage: there are a hundred opportunities, thousands over the years, for a sense of falsehood to seep in, for all that we imagine as inevitable to become arbitrary, for our history together to reveal itself only as a matter of chance and happenstance, nothing irrepeatable, or irreplaceable, the circumstantial mingling of just one of the so many million with just one more." -- Alice McDermott, Charming Billy
Bird in Hand is about four people, two of whom betray their spouses. I was interested in writing about moral ambiguity, which McDermott so brilliantly parses in this novel. If you truly believe that your spouse is not your soulmate, and that your own happiness is vitally important, what do you do?
3) "Close to the body of things, there can be heard a stir that makes us and destroys us."-- D. H. Lawrence, Study of Thomas Hardy
That people's deepest feelings cannot be constrained by social norms or boundaries is an idea I wanted to explore in this book (and an idea that preoccupied Lawrence). Though two of my characters disrupt - and arguably destroy - other lives in their quest to be together, they are oblivious to all but their own happiness.
4) "It is a queer and fantastic world. Why can't people have what they want? The things were all there to content everybody; yet everybody has the wrong thing." -- Ford Madox Ford, The Good Soldier
My four characters are constantly at odds. Their preoccupations, passions, and dreams are often in conflict. In developing this story, I wanted to give equal weight to each perspective. I was fascinated by the complexity of The Good Soldier, and at how skillfully Ford got to the core of his characters' motivations.
5) In truth, I did not read Chekhov's short story "The Lady with the Dog" until after Bird in Hand was published. But this quote (from the Norton edition) is uncanny in its precise application to my story – down to the reference to birds:
"It seemed to them that fate had intended them for one another, and they could not understand why she should have a husband, and he a wife. They were like two migrating birds, the male and the female, who had been caught and put in separate cages. They forgave one another all that they were ashamed of in the past and in the present, and felt that this love of theirs had changed them both."
At the end of the story, as at the end of Bird in Hand, the characters are on a precipice. Chekhov writes:
"And it seemed to them that they were within an inch of arriving at a decision, and that then a new, beautiful life would begin. And they both realized that the end was still far, far away, and that the hardest, the most complicated part was only just beginning."

Then, McCabe applies a set of rules that dictate how each pixel's value shifts in response to the ones around it. As the program progresses, pixel values change, creating clusters of shapes that begin to emerge from the originally random mix of numbers."

As I was watching A Clockwork Orange, the following scene instantly became one of my favorites among the many brilliant/memorable/violent/explicit ones in the movie, all credits to the adorable, cheerful, purple haired psychiatrist.
It was in fact surprising to find that Pauline Taylor, the purple haired lady, only had so much resources about her in the interwebs. This is sad. One would expect such a cheerful and happy face to last across movies with her wide and curvy smile gliding along people's hearts. But in reality, Google returns a countable number of images of her with 99% of them being the very same psychiatrist from Clockwork Orange.
Well, perhaps true beauty is better not over-advertised. It should stay in your heart as one continuous yet brief glimpse of the most comforting smile topped with a purple haze.

David Ben once told me that Vernon was just as well known among silhouette artists as he was among magicians. Since David wrote his biography I figured he would know so I decided to test it. There aren't that many silhouette artists around to test it on but I did come across one working at a trade show. I asked her if she had ever heard of Dai Vernon. She amused my by saying, "Of course. Did you know he was a magician too?" It was the "too" bit that amused me. It seemed to be a mere afterthought on her part.

Like arguments over which is better between Mac or PC, Sega or Nintendo, Batman or Superman, you'll find countless forums and discussions about which are the best synths littering the internet. And like all of the above, there really isn't a definitive answer. Each synth has its own unique features and sonic character, strengths and weaknesses, so it stands to reason that there should be debate over which is 'the greatest'. We won't attempt to answer that question here, but with such an incredible range of affordable synthesizers now available right now, we thought we could give you a mini guide to some of the best available for under £500.
The Novation SuperNova is a synth that offered such a ludicrous amount of power at the time of its release that even today, producers and players bemoan the fact that it was discontinued. With the MiniNova, the guys at Novation took the technology that underpinned this classic synth and crammed a healthy chunk of it into this pint-sized unit. Additionally, a set of features that made it far better suited to the modern studio (such as a software editor, and USB MIDI connection) were also included, making this one of the best synths the UK brand has ever developed.
The Roland JD-Xi aims to combine the best of both analog and digital engines to give you a versatile synth in a compact form factor, perfect for gigs or the studio. The digital side of this synth is built on the famed Roland SuperNATURAL engine, here with 128 note polyphony. Three digital parts are available: Synth 1, Synth 2 and drums, giving you access to a band worth of sounds that can be played together. Pair this with the monophonic analog engine, complete with true analog LPF, and you have a truly powerful crossover synthesiser with immense versatility.
Don't panic because of the lack of keys, you'll be surprised at what you can do with the Teenage Engineering PO Series. Consisting of 3 units (PO-12 Rhythm, PO-14 Sub and PO-16 Factory), you can easily get together a full drum, bass and lead synth set up running for just under £150! Note input is surprisingly simple, with an intuitive control system making the most of the pocket calculator style design. Best of all, all of the units can be synced to each other and other gear which outputs any sort of sync/metronome signal, meaning you could incorporate the PO synths into your DAW set up or run them alongside other portable synths like the Korg Volca series.
Another Korg entry to round off the list and this one is a beast. The Korg Minilogue is a fully analog, programmable, tonal monster which has found favour in studios on account of its exceptional sound quality. Really, this thing rips. Offering two oscillators and a host of filters, amplitude controls and effects, this is a true tweakers dream.
Its inbuilt polyphonic step sequencer and arpeggiator will give you plenty of space for creativity, while USB and MIDI connectivity means it can integrate into any modern workflow.

James: Let's manage growth and keep coast's character
by Faith Rivers James September 18, 2022 September 16, 2022
Faith Rivers James | provided
EDITOR'S NOTE: These are excerpted remarks made Sept. 14, 2022, by Faith Rivers James, the new executive director of the Coastal Conservation League.
I'm a Charleston native, and like many others who grew up here, I always knew I would return. After all, Dorothy was right – there's no place like home!
In coastal South Carolina, our lives and communities are inextricably linked to nature. Like many of you, I grew up playing in the fields, running through the woods, and riding bikes on quiet country roads, waving to everyone you saw along the way.
My family lived four miles away from the village of Mount Pleasant. The Olive Branch AME Church was the center of community. And my mother and grandmother, both teachers, made sure that education was the primary focus of my childhood.
By economic standards, we didn't have much. But we enjoyed a rich heritage of love, community and oneness with the serene landscapes of our beloved Lowcountry. Jonathan Greene's print, entitled "Seeking," exemplifies that oneness of love of God, appreciation of nature, respect for the legacy of our ancestors and the interminable quest to reach new, higher heights. Every day, it will inspire me in my office here at the Coastal Conservation League.
Perry [my husband] and I just built a house along Clouter Creek on Daniel Island and we're blessed to be the fifth generation of the Rivers family who call that special place home.
Here, along the Carolina coast, our roots run deep in soft beach sand and pluff mud. And whether we've been here for generations, decades or even a few precious seasons, we choose to live here because of our shared appreciation for our coastal landscape and our common commitment to leave this place a little better than we found it.
Serving as the executive director of the Conservation League has brought me full circle because it allows me to use all of my past experiences in one place. As a student of government, a practitioner of legislative process, a property law professor and a land use advocate, I've researched and written about these issues; and I bring a wealth of lessons from the experiences of my family and friends who are navigating the land use process and growth pressures along the coast.
I am inspired by this community's collaborative commitment of time, talent, treasure and your legacy to the conservation cause. With your helping hands, the Conservation League will continue to protect our natural resources, as this organization has done for the past 33 years. We won't stop advocating for our coast and its beautiful landscapes. And we will take on new challenges as they arise. From protecting interior freshwater wetlands to Carolina Bays and saltwater marshes, we will continue working on long-term projects for Wadmalaw, in Cainhoy and on the North Coast.
We will continue the clarion call to combat climate change, looking for ways to stem flooding, enhance our energy efficiency and reduce our waste footprint. And we will expand our work with local communities and farmers, helping them to thrive in place so we can thwart burgeoning development.
From empowering the Phillips Community to combat new roads and to pursue greenbelt spaces, and supporting the Gullah Farmers Cooperative by enrolling them as suppliers to our GrowFood Carolina program, we are helping people remain on their land and helping rural communities to prosper.
We are protecting downtown neighborhoods from cruise ships, celebrating conservation outcomes for Captain Sam's Spit, and promoting alternative traffic routes to ease congestion without the community disruption and displacement that could occur from an extension of Interstate 526 into the solace of our sea islands.
If you want to see an example of the damage an interstate can do, just look at what happened in my home community at the other end of I-526. I-526 landed where Mr. Solly Mazyck stood on his property fence line every day. One by one, families disbanded, seeking the peace and calm we once enjoyed along Old Georgetown Highway.
I-526 was the beginning of the end of life as we knew it in Four Mile. Now, only a few houses remain in what was once a thriving historic settlement community. And it will never be the same.
And so it is my mission – and our charge – to seek creative solutions that enable us to meet growth challenges without losing our coastal character. It is a tall order, but we are up to the task.
Together we will conserve our natural resources, protect our coastal and rural landscapes, and preserve the communities that are the core of our existence. The Book of Proverbs tells us, "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." We owe it not only to our own children but to everybody's children to leave them a rich inheritance here along the South Carolina coastal plain.

Nobody seems to agree on why he was out, but Damian Priest is back
By Sean Rueter@s1rude Jun 29, 2021, 11:23am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Nobody seems to agree on why he was out, but Damian Priest is back
WWE's Twitter
Damian Priest hadn't worked a match since May 17, when he won his second lumberjack match in two nights (the one that was against John Morrison, and free of zombies).
But he returned last night (June 28) on Raw, lasting until the end of the battle royal for a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match next month. Priest was the last man eliminated by Riddle, who was competing in honor of his "best friend" Randy Orton.
During the past week of Priest's month-plus absence, we've heard different things about why he was out. Wrestling Observer said it was related to a back injury. Fightful's sources didn't back that up, however. That site reported the Archer of Infamy wasn't out with a specific injury. PWInsider chimed in this morning to say Priest was off television becuase he was "dealing with some personal matters."
Whatever the reason, it was good to see the 39 year old back in action. In addition to just being a lot of fun, the Bad Bunny WrestleMania angle did a lot to establish Priest as at least a solid upper midcard act, and it would be a shame if he didn't at least get a chance to build off that push.
His strong showing in the battle royal looks like a sign he'll get that chance.

Trading Micro Caps and Investing in Penny Stocks: A Big Look at the Tiny
14.07.2019 Stocks & Stock Sectors admin 0
Penny stocks usually trade under $5 per share, are thinly traded, and can be susceptible to manipulation
Micro-cap stocks typically have market capitalization between $50 million and $300 million
Micro caps aren't highly correlated with the broader market and can offer diversification and other benefits, but also risk that can be greater than that of the broader market
When compared to shares of larger, more well-established companies, trading penny stocks or micro-cap stocks is often viewed as a riskier trade, and there are bona fide reasons for that. Penny stocks and micro-cap stocks are typically less liquid, more volatile, and carry higher risk than traditional stocks traded on established exchanges. They can also be the realm of scammers. Buyer beware.
So why trade them? Penny stocks are definitely not for everyone, but some traders have a bit of the risk taker inside them and thus have a bigger appetite for risk. Still, for some retail investors, it's worth learning a few basics about penny and micro-cap stocks and keeping an eye on these under-the-radar nooks and crannies of our markets. Let's consider a few questions.
What defines penny and micro-cap stocks?
Micro-caps typically have market capitalizations between $50 million and $300 million (stocks under $50 million are often called "nano caps"). For comparison, the 30 stocks on the Dow currently have an average market cap of over $200 billion each.
A penny stock generally trades at less than $5 per share, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
What makes them more risky than larger, more widely-held equities?
Many penny stocks are issued by new, startup companies with no proven track record. Some have no assets, operations, or revenue, or their products and services may be in development or have yet to be tested in the market, the SEC notes. Other penny stocks may have been "blue chip" stocks in a prior life, but fallen on hard times, and others may be established companies that simply have a low stock price.
Another risk involves low trading volume, "which may make it difficult for you to sell your shares when you want to do so," the SEC says. Because they're so thinly traded, "any size trade can have a large percentage impact on the price of the stock," the regulator says.
In addition, because some of these companies may not regularly file reports with the SEC and haven't met strict listing requirements to trade on major exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq, there's often little information available on these businesses. That's why they may be susceptible to fraud and manipulation, the SEC says.
Where can you find penny stocks?
Many penny stocks trade on so-called "pink sheets" or the "over-the-counter bulletin board" (OTCBB), which are basically electronic stock quotation services that enable companies not listed on a major stock exchange to trade. Penny stocks can be traded through many brokers, including TD Ameritrade (although with certain restrictions; TD Ameritrade does not solicit or recommend transactions in OTCBB securities or other individual stocks).
Powerful platforms, powerful tools.
Find your best fit.
How can you track micro caps?
Market professionals may follow the Russell Microcap Index, which includes more than 1,500 U.S. companies in Financial Services, Health Care, Technology, and other industries.
As of late January 2019, companies in the index had an average market cap of about $536 million. The index was down about 10% from January 2018 to January 2019, compared to a decline of about 7.5% in the S&P 500 Index over the same period.
If the risk is so high, why even bother with ultra-small stocks?
Micro caps comprise less than 3% of the entire U.S. stock market, according to Russell indices, which means the performance of these companies doesn't usually correlate highly with the rest of the market. That can create potential diversification benefits. But keep in mind the reputation for risk is well earned.
Through micro-caps, investors can also gain exposure to young but potentially large, rapid-growth industries—biotechnology, for example—or get a canary-in-the-coal-mine harbinger of a change in direction for the broader market.
Investors in biotech micro caps, for example, scrutinize management strength, capital structure (especially debt), pipeline opportunity, and whether the company may be acquired or otherwise link up with a bigger company.
Clearly this tiny slice of the market is not for everyone, but for those considering micro caps, it's important to go in with eyes wide open, aware of the risks, and having done your homework.

Protips For Renting a Roll Off Container in Freeport, Minnesota.
Knowing how the dumpster rental process works prior to making a decision can help you get the most bang for your buck. Whether you're operating a contracting business and need a long term dumpster option, or you're a do-it-yourself homeowner working on a new project, there's going to be a dumpster that is the most beneficial choice for your needs. There are always going to be a variety of dumpster rental companies in Freeport, but if you have some background on sizes, weight capacities and possible hidden fees, then you'll be much better equipped to negotiate with rental businesses companies.
It's vital to factor in the various types of costs you can encounter when renting a dumpster in Freeport. The main expenses in your rental will include size, weight and the composition of your waste. Another factor that may effect your budget is any permit fees that may be applicable in Freeport. You should always check with your rental company and ask detailed questions before moving ahead.
The most used roll-off dumpster size is the 20 cubic yard option, which will cover most typical projects. If you aren't sure what size you will need, you can always explain your task to the rental company and they can advise you on which dumpster would be the best fit for you. Generally most home improvement jobs in Freeport can be completed with a 20 cubic yard dumpster, unless you have large materials you're working with. If you're remodeling a home or getting a roof redone, you're probably better off going with a 40 cubic yard dumpster, as it's always better to have more space than less. It never hurts to have a little leftover space for garbage in your dumpster, and if you find yourself having an area leftover, you can always take care of any garbage you've got laying around.
Before spending the money to rent a dumpster, be sure to ask the company about any weight restrictions. Your dumpster can fill up very swiftly depending on the waste you're throwing in there. Keep an eye on the items you're disposing of, as the last thing you want is to have to pay extra fees for going over your weight capacity. It's not just weight charges to be aware of, but also any added environmental charges that you could have to pay depending on the laws in Freeport.
The various types of waste that you'll be disposing of will determine cost and dumpster you're going to want to go with. Junk removal services might end up being a more efficient choice if you only have a few large items. If you're just removing debris or clutter, then a 10 cubic yard dumpster should be sufficient. Finding out precisely what types of waste is acceptable to be thrown in your dumpster in Freeport is another vital to think about. Check with your dumpster vendor on prohibited items like batteries, food waste, grease or large appliances like refrigerators that are often not accepted.
You can estimate your dumpster cost by checking the size, weight capacities and types of waste you're disposing of. A rental company will likely give you a free estimate, which will be based mostly off these factors. Regardless of your dumpster's weight, bigger sizes will have additional costs. Bigger containers put more of a cost on the rental company in the form of fuel, manpower and dumping work needed in the disposal phase.
Going with a local dumpster rental company in Freeport will probably be a wise choice. Local companies usually have an established dumping agreement with waste management facilities, which will save you effort and paperwork. They'll also be aware of local laws, which can streamline the entire disposal job. By giving your dumpster company as many details as possible about your waste materials, you can make sure you get the best deal and correct sized container.

You'll Never Guess How This Former Contractor Received $2.2 Million
A 59-year-old former contractor who says he can no longer work after being involved in a rear-end vehicle crash has agreed to a $2.2 million settlement from the employer of the man who ran into him. In this issue, we'll talk about the case.
The Case at a Glance
The victim was on his way to a work project as he approached the Lincoln Tunnel in New Jersey. He was in the far right lane when he was hit from behind by a car driven by a man working for Cavalry Inc., a rental car transport company. The victim says he observed the driver of the car racing with a driver in another vehicle. The driver of the car, however, said that he was cut off by another car.
Injuries Sustained by the Victim
The victim said that constant pain in his shoulder and back caused by the incident has left him unable to work. Several months after that incident, the victim was involved in yet another auto accident – which he claims aggravated his injuries from the first incident. For the second incident, the victim received a $100,000 payment from his insurance company.
Employer Offers to Settle
The victim's lawyer confirms in reports that the employer of the driver who caused the first crash offered the $2.2 million settlement to the victim for his pain and suffering as well as his loss of earning potential. While he says that he remains in pain, the victim – a father of two grown children – said that he was "pleased with the settlement."
If You've Been Hurt by Someone Else's Negligence, Call The Oswalt Law Group
Just as the victim in the case above, being hurt by someone else's negligence may entitle you to recoup fees for high medical bills, lost wages and other expenses. Call us here at The Oswalt Law Group; our number is (602) 225-2222 and the first consultation is always free.

Q: Capistrano get git commit sha1 I am writing a task for capistrano 3 and I need to get the current commit sha1. How can I read that ? Is there a variable for that ?
I have seen fetch(:sha1) in some files but this isn't working for me.
I am deploying into a docker container, and I need to tag the image with the current sha1 (and ideally, skip the deployment if there is already an image corresponding to the current sha1)

A: Capistrano creates a file in the deployed folder containing the git revision. In looking at the task which creates that file, we can see how it obtains the revision: https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/blob/master/lib/capistrano/tasks/deploy.rake#L224
So, it is obtaining the revision from fetch(:current_revision).
In the git specific tasks, we can see where it is set: https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/blob/master/lib/capistrano/scm/tasks/git.rake#L62
As a side note, Capistrano is probably not the best tool for what you are trying to do. Capistrano is useful for repeated deployments to the same server. Docker essentially is building a deployable container already containing the code. See the answers here for more detail: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39459945/3042016

A: Capistrano 3 is using a plugin system for the version manager application used (git, svn, etc.)
The current_revision is delegated to the version manager plugin and I don't understand how to access it...
In the meantime a dirty solution would be
set :current_revision, (lambda do
  `git rev-list --max-count=1 #{fetch(:branch)}`
end)

But I'm waiting for a good solution that would instead, manage to invoke the right task from the SCM plugin

From Seattle to LA on The Coast Starlight
"Sorry, sir, we don't have any window seats left," the attendant said, "but the observation car has big glass windows."
With that picture in mind, I boarded Amtrak's Coast Starlight from Seattle to Los Angeles on a sunny winter day. I curiously went to see the observation car.
I'm from India, where the majority of people travel by train. Thus, I carry a distinct perception of a train journey: crowded coaches, aunties making conversation, families playing card games, the smell of home cooked food, the noise of crying babies, and the freedom of opening the doors of the running train to feel the wind.
While that feeling is unmatched, this Amtrak journey on West Coast was like daydreaming. The minute I entered the observation car, I was met with floor-to-ceiling windows, grand views of Pacific Ocean, dolphins jumping out the water, and snowy peaks of the Olympic National Park. It was a relaxed, yet exciting, way to experience nature.
Portland was my first stop and I quickly realized it's an easy city to fall in love with. When the sun comes out here, the city transforms. If you don't see people out enjoying the snow, its because they are busy eating amazing food, enjoying tax-free shopping, or hiking the mountains.
Although the train was delayed, my second stop brought me to San Francisco's Financial District. The downtown area felt like a scene out of Westworld: busy, big, and scary. Once I was away from the giant buildings, San Francisco offered easy access to stunning hills and the Pacific Ocean, with above-the-clouds views that lend themselves to the city's charm and individuality.
My last stop was Los Angeles. Winter in L.A. felt like a Seattle summer, and I was happy to spend some time here. L.A. has its own unique offerings — Hollywood, actors who are really waiters, waiters who are really actors, Griffith Observatory, the sunsets over the Pacific Ocean, and astounding street art. The United States' second largest city has something for everyone.
After my visit to L.A., I traveled back to Seattle—just in time to welcome the new year and enjoy the snow.
There are many things I've learned from my travel —being spontaneous in the moment, the power of putting down the camera, or of making conversations with strangers—but the most important is to find patience, to see it breathing and changing forms.
Sometimes I just stared out of the window for hours looking at ocean and mountains. I walked to unknown destinations just to feel the pleasure of walking. I watched the setting sun and observed how it transformed both the landscape and human emotion with each minute. There's power in that, in understanding the fundamentals of our invisible self. Patience, pleasure, desire, and emotions. Traveling makes you slow down and gives you enough time to think about things that make you, you.

CBGB Festival Brings Veteran Bands Back to the Stage
Tommy Ramone, David Johansen and the Miamis among acts slated for fest

Stiv Bators and Cheetah Chrome of The Dead Boys perform at CBGB's in New York City.

First impressions make their mark forever, and guitarist Cheetah Chrome remembers feeling right at home the moment he entered CBGB & OMFUG in July of 1976, arriving from Ohio with his band, the Dead Boys, for their first gig in New York.
"I walked through the door and stepped in dog shit," Chrome recalls with a laugh. "We were like Martians in Cleveland. And so when we got up [to New York], we were normal. We had a great audience our first night." Club owner Hilly Kristal was so impressed with the Dead Boys' performance, he signed on as their manager. CBGB, meanwhile, emerged from biker-bar obscurity to Bowery brouhaha, offering its stage to Television, the Ramones, Blondie, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, the New York Dolls and 30 more years' worth of unsigned talent, until its shuttering in 2006. "People would go there and see a band and think,'Oh man, I wanna be in a band,'" reflects Dolls frontman David Johansen.
The first-ever CBGB Festival, which kicks off today and runs through Sunday, will attempt to rekindle the club's old magic. In keeping with its tradition of booking only new and up-and-coming musicians, the fest will feature 300 bands – some familiar in hardcore circles, others getting their first crack at opening for a headliner – at a string of participating venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn. For those looking to catch acts that played CBGB in its golden era, the Bowery Electric's Thursday night bill offers the first show in 30 years from the Miamis, followed by a reformed Tuff Darts, the Waldos featuring Walter Lure of the Heartbreakers, and Cheetah Chrome, who will close the night at 12:30 am with his former bandmate, Jeff Magnum. Under the same roof in the venue's Map Room, the last surviving Ramone, Tommy, will play an acoustic set, followed by Ivan Král.
Other CBGB stalwarts playing on Thursday include Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols at the Living Room and Johansen at Sullivan Hall. Dolls fans can expect to hear some of the reformed band's rarely performed ballads, plus songs from Johansen's solo period.
One Thursday no-show will be significant: guitarist Richard Lloyd and drummer Billy Ficca of Television, the first band to play CBGB, were scheduled to perform with Lloyd's new band but cancelled due to his hospitalization in Cleveland on June 11th, according to Lloyd's Facebook page. While the reason for the hospitalization was not disclosed, the Cleveland Scene reported a confrontation that night between Lloyd and Ficca, who shouted and threw drinks at each other minutes before playing their set at the Grog Shop. When Rolling Stone attempted to contact Ficca through Lloyd for an interview prior to the show that day, he wrote in an email, "I am not sure that I have the energy at the moment of tour to bother him." On Tuesday, Lloyd's wife commented on Facebook, "he's still not 100%, but is feeling better."
Many musicians who got their start at CBGB remain active, musically and otherwise. Though Richard Hell retired from music long ago, he'll publish an autobiography next year about his time with the original Television lineup, the Heartbreakers and the Voidoids. Patti Smith released an album in June and plays an occasional show with Television's Tom Verlaine. Blondie will tour with DEVO this fall. And in September, Talking Heads fans will be able to hear David Byrne's latest efforts when the former frontman releases an album with St. Vincent; his old bandmates, Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz will issue a Tom Tom Club EP, Downtown Rockers, as a sort of ode to CBGB.
"It was our incubator. It was very intimidating to perform," Weymouth says. "I only had my amp for two months before our first gig [in 1975]. I was just starting."

The Chang Family Quest for Justice in the Matter of the Unexplained Death of Richard Chang at the Head Office of the Abbey National Bank PLC ("Abbey") on 13th July 2004.
1. The Chang Family, accompanied by Councillor Edmond Yeo, Christine Lee, a Chinese Human Rights' Solicitor and Christopher McNicholas, Counsel for the Chang Family (though not the widow Lay Peng Lim, who was separately represented throughout) at the July 2005 Inquest into Richard's death, met with representatives of the Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service ("CPS") at Holborn Police Station on 10th August 2007(12:30pm-4:30pm).
2. The representatives from the Police were Chief Superintendent Mark Heath, the Borough Commander at Holborn, Detective Superintendent Jeremy Burton, Sergeant Timm (Staff Officer to C.S. Heath), Renee Barclay, Director of the CPS London Region, with responsibility for the Serious Casework Directorate of the CPS; and Detective Inspector Heather Carpenter (who led the second investigation into Richard's death, following an intervention by the Chang Family on the basis that there may have been a racial motive for the death of Richard on the day in question).
3. The Chang Family had requested, since February 2006, (and made application under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 ("FOIA") to examine specific documents relating to the conduct of the police investigation (post event) and that of the Abbey National Bank PLC ("Abbey") on and before the 13th July 2004. At the meeting of 10th August, the Chang Family was told that, whilst Christine Lee had publicly announced that a meeting had been arranged between the Police and the Chang Family for the purposes of disclosure, (see Christine's Vigil Statement of 13th July 2007), in fact, no disclosure would be made to the Family, on the basis that there were "issues of commercial confidentiality relating to Abbey which take precedence" (sic) over the public interest nature of the Chang case.
4. The Chang Family members set out their arguments that, based on the available evidence, there were numerous discrepancies; principally in relation to the times cited by individual witnesses from their witness statements, together with a handwritten note that was allegedly left by Richard. The Police stated that discrepancies were a part of all their investigations. It would be an unusual case, they said, that contained no discrepancies. This point in particular led to a close discussion between the Chang Family, the CPS and the Police as to how matters might be moved forward to look again at all the surrounding circumstances.
Jacqueline Stretton-Chang raised the point that the full disclosure of documents relating to police investigations particularly relating to 13th July 2004, at the critical time when Richard died was necessary to fully evaluate whether or not a proper and thorough investigation had been carried out. The police response was that this would not be possible because a decision had already been made under the FOIA that the documentation would not be released. However the Family were free to pursue a complaint against the Metropolitan Police if that was their decision.
5. Questions were put in relation to specific steps taken by the Police during the investigation. One such example was that a fraud report had been prepared in relation to the anonymous documents that had been allegedly attributed to Richard by Abbey and about which he had been interrogated by operatives of Kroll Associates, the corporate investigations' firm brought in by Abbey to determine the origin of the anonymous documents, said to have criticized members of Abbey's senior management. The anonymous documents (which have never been seen by the Chang Family) were examined by the Fraud Department (SO6) of the Metropolitan Police but no further action was subsequently taken as it was determined both by the Serious Fraud Squad ("SO6") and DI Carpenter that these documents did not (of themselves), point to any question that there was fraudulent activity taking place within Abbey.
6. Valerie Chang questioned as to why the Police had not released the police and fraud report to the Family. It was the understanding of the Family that this had been agreed by DI Carpenter at the outset of her investigation and she said that she would release her report and findings prior to the Coroner's Inquest.
At the meeting DI Carpenter was resistant (and somewhat defensive) to the notion that she had previously agreed to release any reports. In reply, Valerie Chang said that there were various witnesses at previous family /police meetings, including representatives from the Southall Monitoring Group ("SMG"), namely Jabez Lam and Suresh Grover, who can confirm what was said at the material time. In addition, Valerie Chang (and Jacqueline Stretton-Chang) challenged DI Carpenter (who remained in denial and disagreement with the Chang Family concerning the consistency and thoroughness of the investigation by the Police) when having regard to the inconclusive nature of the note and handwriting evidence - even after it was put to DI Carpenter that handwriting comparisons had been made with samples of Richard's own writing from fifteen years previously; quite ignoring the fact that Richard's Personnel File (Abbey) would have contained more current examples of his handwriting!
7. The Chang Family is adamant (and emphasized this point at the meeting) that there were particular problems within Abbey prior to and at the time which only culminated in its takeover by Banco de Santander shortly after the death of Richard. The Chang Family were also perplexed by the fact that senior Abbey Directors, who had been involved in the in-house, so-called 'selection process' and investigation resulting in Richard's death, had been generously remunerated by way of bonuses, promotions and in one instance, a plethora of directorships!
In addition to the Chang Family's own findings in this matter, confirmation and corroboration was received when speaking to Abbey employees who engaged with Family members during those occasions when the Chang Family were campaigning outside of Abbey's headquarters in Euston, Central London.
8. Jacqueline Stretton-Chang put a question to the effect that were any of the officers present aware that a named Special Branch / British Intelligence officer had been engaged to covertly monitor the Chang Family preparations for the Inquest in July 2005. All officers present denied having any knowledge of other personnel being assigned to this matter.
Otherwise, the Chang Family would have to engage with the Court to challenge the Police decision not to disclose the documents under the FOIA. However, the Chang Family are convinced that this is just a ploy. The documents refused for disclosure are in effect "a house of straw". There is adequate provision in the FOIA to say that "a third party does not have a right to veto the disclosure of information". This is so even where its interests may be affected by the disclosure … "a refusal to consent to disclosure by a third party does not in itself mean that the information will be withheld." (Code of Conduct, Part VII, Section 40).
