Moreover, several references to the road leading to Hall's Ferry, logically called Halls Ferry Road, can be found in late 19th and early 20th century minutes of Fannin County Commissioner's meetings.
Hall further notes that the Kemp and Colbert ferries were the primary boats in this area in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. They transported literally thousands of people who settled in Grayson and Fannin counties.
The Kemp Ferry basically served an area between Mulberry and Kemp, Oklahoma. Hall writes: "Joe C. Kemp and Simon Kemp were granted charters by the Chickasaw legislature to operate ferries across Red River for periods ranging from five to ten years between 1876 to '98." A good clue to the importance of the Kemp Ferry is found in the minutes of the March 14, 1881 Bonham City Council meeting which notes that the Kemp Ferry Road apparently ran all the way to Bonham.
Quoting from The History of Bryan County, Oklahoma, Hall notes that Colbert's Ferry, located in the area of the current Carpenter's Bluff bridge, was operated by B. F. Colbert, "'a well-to-do Indian who lived north of Denison in the Territory.'" Although there were bridges in the area at times, they frequently washed out and Colbert's Ferry would resume operation.
In their May 22 meeting, commissioners granted a license to "E. Haggard to run and operate a public ferry on Red River in the North West corner of Fannin County . . . at a point known as the Haggard crossing." 1900 census records show an Enoch Haggard living in Fannin County. The exact location of the Haggard Crossing is unknown.
1905 was yet another busy year for those wanting to operate ferries. In its May 10 meeting, commissioners granted license to W. J. Killian "to run and operate a ferry across Red River at or near Anthony where the Warren and Orangeville public road" reaches the river. The minutes also note that one of Killian's financial backers was a S. G. Linney, undoubtedly from the aforementioned Linney family that ran a ferry in the Anthony area.
The same day licenses to operate ferries on Red River were also issued to Wyatt Gibson and the duo of W. C. Smith and Pink Beale. The exact locations of their ferries were not given.
By the mid nineteen-teens ferries were expected to carry automobiles and trucks as well as livestock and wagons across the river. An ad for Bryant's Ferry (more than likely the same as the aforementioned Bryan Ferry) that appeared in the August 31, 1918 Bonham Daily Favorite stated that it was the "best automobile crossing on Red River." The ad further noted that the ferry operated four miles north of Telephone and twelve miles south of Bennington, Oklahoma.
By the mid 1920s R. E. Snow operated a ferry in the same location. Family history states that Snow had worked for Bryant's and eventually bought that ferry. Snow was the owner in 1927 when the Telephone suspension bridge was finished, effectively putting him out of business.
The December 2 Daily Favorite reported that operation of the ferry was resumed on a private basis by a Mr. J. T. Brown. It stated that Brown "is an experienced ferry operator and is prepared to give the people the very best possible service." Brown announced that his charges would be: 25 cents for auto or two horse wagon, and "50 cents for four horse wagon or car and truck." Exactly how long Brown operated the ferry is unknown.
By early 1939 the new Sowell's Bluff bridge (the one presently there) was open to traffic. And once again it seemed that ferries were finished for good. But not so fast.
On December 4, 1940 the suspension bridge at Telephone collapsed. However, with the big two-lane bridge at Sowell's Bluff open, ferry service at Telephone never resumed.
Then came the flood waters of the spring of 1941. By mid-June the Oklahoma approach to the Sowell's Bluff bridge had washed away. And the materials needed to solve the problem were dedicated to the World War II effort. In short, the bridge would be out of use a little shy of five years.
Once again there were no bridges connecting Fannin County to Oklahoma.
Roughly a month after the washout, the Bonham Daily Favorite of July 11 reported that Doc Jackson, of Willis, Oklahoma, and a Mr. Cowan would operate a ferry just west of the bridge. Jackson was running two ferries near Whitesboro, and stated that he would move one of them to Sowell's Bluff. County commissioner's on both sides of the river promised to grade roads to the ferry.
By April 1946 the Sowell's Bluff bridge was open again, and perhaps the last ferry was retired.
It is no exaggeration to say that from the mid 1800s to the late 1920s ferries made literally thousands of trips across Red River from Fannin County to Indian Territory/Oklahoma and back. And though they were counted out a couple of times, once in the 1930s and again in the 1940s, again and again they came to the rescue before disappearing from this neck of the woods.
Twice in history there were no bridges connecting Fannin and Bryan counties - all of history prior to May 1927 when the first suspension bridge, located north of Telephone, linked the two counties, and 1941-1946 when the Oklahoma approach at the current Sowell's Bluff bridge washed out the first time. At such times several ferries helped to get local folks across Red River. So now is a good time to revisit a little history of ferry traffic on the river Spanish explorers dubbed the Rio Rojo.
One day in the late 1890s or early 1900s my maternal great-grandparents, James Edward and Ida Mae Wright, and their children left their Elwood farm headed for Durant by wagon. Crossing Red River was done by ferry.
During the holidays of 1986 May Bass, James and Ida Mae's youngest child, recalled the trip in a recorded conversation. She stood on one side of the ferry, she stated, with her mother and siblings while her dad stayed up front with the mules lest they get spooked.
Once across the river, it was on to Durant to visit relatives. Their return trip later that day meant riding the ferry again.
Just how many ferries operated on Red River since the establishment of Fannin County is hard to say. And this article is not an exhaustive history of the subject. Some ferries may have operated without much notice. Nonetheless, there is enough information available to form a general historical sketch.
It should be noted that local ferries were not elaborate in design. They were wooden, sometimes crude structures that may or may not have side rails. Usually they were cabled, i.e., anchored to big trees, or other heavy objects, on both sides of the river by a heavy, sturdy rope, thus assuring that they crossed successfully rather than float downstream.
The county required that anyone wanting to operate a ferry post a bond, and obtain a license that had to be renewed regularly, perhaps yearly. Moreover, the rates charged by a ferry operator were set by the county.
That same year another suspension bridge was finished at Sowell's Bluff as well. It was assumed that the bridges had permanently replaced the ferries.
However, it wasn't long before there was a major problem with the Sowell's Bluff bridge: It collapsed into the icy waters of Red River on the night of January 29, 1934. Shortly afterwards, ferry traffic in the area resumed.
In its June 29, 1934 meeting, county commissioners voted to join the Texas Highway Department in operating a free ferry at Sowell's Bluff for one year. They undoubtedly wanted it to be free since the suspension bridge, originally a toll bridge, had been free for roughly one year. Minutes of the meeting noted that the ferry boat was built by "the citizens, with assistance from the Highway Department." The cost to the county was fifty dollars a month.
In late 1935 it was decided that operating the ferry was too expensive. The November 16 Bonham Daily Favorite reported that a committee formed by the Bonham Chamber of Commerce showed "that the cost of operating the ferry is entirely too high when the advantages are considered." The committee noted that in "the first nine months the ferry . . . was open only 35 days due to high water and other trouble which could not be controlled." It concluded by noting "an average of not over two or three trips are made daily by the ferry," and that the approach on the Oklahoma side was in bad shape.

US Coast Guard ship arrives at Busan port

Updated : Apr 7, 2019 - 09:07
The USCGC Bertholf (Yonhap)
Last month, the ship held a joint exercise with South Korea's Coast Guard in waters off the southern island of Jeju to prevent North Korea's maritime sanctions evasions, such as illicit ship-to-ship transfers of fuel and goods.
The North's media denounced the exercise, arguing it runs counter to the ongoing peace efforts on the peninsula.
"No plan for a joint exercise is scheduled after the Bertholf's arrival in Busan," a Navy official said.
He said the crew of the vessel will do activities, including replenishing military supplies, as well as visiting cultural sites in Busan and friendly sports activities.
The 4,500-ton Bertholf left its home port of Alameda, California, with its crew of 170 in January for deployment in the Western Pacific.
After reaching Sasebo in Japan's Nagasaki Prefecture in early March, it patrolled the East China Sea, keeping a lookout for illicit ship-to-ship transfers of fuel and goods by North Korea. (Yonhap)

Historic Cannon Ball House
126 Morris Avenue, Springfield, NJ 07081
springfieldhistoricalsociety.webs.com
Home to the Springfield Historical Society, the Historic Cannon Ball House is one of four houses left standing after the Battle of Springfield, the last significant conflict in the northern colonies before Yorktown. On June 23, 1780, 1,500 Americans under Major General Nathanael Greene and Colonel Elias Dayton were attacked by 5,000 British and Hessians enroute to capture stores at Morristown. The Historic Cannon Ball House was spared when the defeated British burned the rest of Springfield.
The Cannon Ball House was built in 1741 by Jonathan Dayton, a doctor and a Revolutionary War soldier, whose nephew (of the same name) was a signer of the Constitution. Visitors can tour seven period-style rooms with artifacts associated with local history and colonial life including the cannon ball that was lodged in the wall of the house during the Battle of Springfield and a letter written by General George Washington just days before his decisive victory in Springfield.

I love love LOVE this post. I've been justifying my book-hoarding by repurposing old hardcovers into sketchbooks. I always feel so blasphemous when I take them apart, like I need to whisper an apology to the book's soul before I give it a second life.
ok, 1. i love the idea of books on walls. i've been meaning to find covers of my faves, but I should just put the actual book up there??? and i can't imagine how long it must take to rework a book like that. mind blown.
My brain has so much to process. I recently stumbled across Brian's work too and was wildly fascinated by it. I don't know if I could do that with a book, though the statement one can make is amazing.

Listened to: "Limitations" by Scott Turow
Listened to: Limitations by Scott Turow, 2006, downloaded from Overdrive.
Good but not specatacular. Turow's Ordinary Heroes was much better. I don't know if this counts as a legal thriller or not. I rarely read legal fiction.
George Mason is an appellate court judge in Kindle County (Chicago) and starts getting anonymous death threats via email and text messages. George's wife is recovering from cancer and George has just heard an appeal concerning a politically hot rape case.
George was an interesting character and Turow writes well but the mystery of the threats was less interesting than George's guilt about a college gangbang he participated in. That part was explored well but the rest of the story kind of lagged. George's wife and staff were also well drawn by Turow but there was not enough of them. I went back and checked Overdrive twice to see if this was an abridgement.
One of the best parts of this was the descriptions and explanations by Turow about how the appellate court works. The way judges interact among themselves and their staffs. One character in particular seemed to be partly modeled after Scalia. But, that's just a wild guess on my part.
Read: "Blood Relation" by Eric Konigsberg
Read: Blood Relation by Eric Konigsberg, 2005, 9780060099046.
Pretty good but leaves me wanting to know more. Konigsberg grew up in Omaha and ended up in NYC working as a writer. After working for a writer and journalist for a time he gets a phone call from an unknown and imprisoned great uncle.
Harold "Heshy" Konigsberg was a loanshark and hired killer in New Jersey until his 1967 (or about then) imprisonment for extortion and a later 1983 (or about then) conviction for murder. The rest of the Konigsberg family has ignored the unpleasant Heshy and downplayed his crimes. Eric is intrigued by this and starts to interview Harold in Auburn Correctional Facility in New York.
Eric writes about Harold, the Konigsberg family, Harold's crimes, his murder trials (Harold admitted to 20 murders to the FBI but was only brought up on one murder - with a retrial), and Harold's psychopathic behavior. Harold is insane. Even as a 70 year old convict his murderous ability scares the hell out of Eric; Harold threatens to rip Eric's eye out, tear his head off, and all sorts of other threats.
The problem is that this isn't a biography. Even though Eric does a marvelous job in researching Harold there is only so much information he can get a hold of. What started out as a magazine article ended up as a really long magazine article. Eric interviewed relatives, FBI agents, family of Harold's victims and even Harold's mob associates. He gained access to FBI agents' interview notes prosecution case files. But, nobody, Harold in particular, are going to say much about Harold's many murders for hire. Harold's many other crimes like loansharking, drug dealing, extortion, robbery, burglary, porn operations, etc. are mentioned but there are no decent stories behind them.
Read: "Hose Monkey" by Tony Spinosa
Read: Hose Monkey by Tony Spinosa (pen name for Reed Farrel Coleman), 2006, 1932557180.
Very good writing, I was impressed after a handful of pages. I'm not so sure about the plot.
Joe Serpe is a disgraced NYPD detective who lost his wife after he lost his job and then lost his fireman brother on 9/11. His life has been in limbo for the three years since. He lives in his brother's old basement apartment, never reads the newspapers, has no friends and drives a delivery truck for a home heating oil business on Long Island. After a retarded co-worker is murdered in the oil company lot Joe starts looking into what happened.
I enjoyed reading the story and following the several twists and turns in the plot. But after I finished I started to wonder if the wandering plot line should bother me. At first the suspect is a Haitian thug who worked at the victim's group home. Then a vicious Latin gang, seemingly based on MS-13, may be at fault. Then the suspects are an anti-immigration group leader and his son. You eventually get to the Russian mobsters at fault.
Since I enjoyed the novel I guess I have no reason to complain. Except the novel seems to be trying to do so many things at once. Immigration issues, rapists, Russian thugs, ex-cop versus current cop, love story with ex-cop, unrequited love, buddy teaming of ex-cop and former persecutor, father-son dynamics, corruption, 9/11 aftermath.
The two things that really bothered me during reading was Joe Serpe and a psychologist hooking up and immediately getting serious. That felt forced. The killer of the victim ended up being a minor player in both the entire criminal enterprise involved but made little mark in the novel at all until revealed as the culprit. That was kind of okay since the overall conspiracy was more important but not okay because the killer's first notable appearance is at the end of the novel.
Read: "A Mammoth Murder" by Bill Crider
Read: A Mammoth Murder by Bill Crider, 2006, 0312323875.
Another good job by Crider. The plotting was good and even with all the necessary clues added in throughout the story I was unable to put everything together. I never tried to solve mystery plots until a year or two ago. My concern has always been that the plot has to be believable and the characters have to be interesting.
Sheriff Rhodes is always pretty interesting. A lover of Dr. Pepper, but disliker of the corn syrup sweetener. Alternately loved and threatened by his constituency. Patient to a fault. Smarter than most.
Rhodes is also infuriating. He's always getting cold-cocked by someone and he doesn't want to carry a gun because he doesn't like how it looks. (Rhodes isn't fashion-forward he just doesn't like the appearance.) Heck, a guy is trying to kill Rhodes and Rhodes shoots high to deter the guy. When that doesn't work Rhodes aims low hoping some flying dirt will deter him. What the hell? What ever happened to center mass?
All that doesn't matter anyway. That's just the kind of books Rhodes is in. A "cozy mystery" with more violence, no damn cats, no damn recipes, and probably better humour than the rest. At least I think it has more than the rest. I don't read that other crap.
Up next is Hose Monkey which Crider plugged a few months ago. Crider says "Jump!" I say, "How high?"
Listened to: "Holes" by Louis Sachar
Listened to: Holes by Louis Sachar, downloaded from Overdrive.com.
Very good. Nice job by Sachar putting the historical and present day storylines together so they seamlessly fit together in the end.
The narrator was good with some characters but so-so with others.
Good description by Sachar of the desert climate and terrain.
Read: "Half the Blood of Brooklyn" by Charlie Huston
Read: Half the Blood of Brooklyn by Charlie Huston, 2007, 9780345495877.
Fairly decent. I suppose the previous two entries in the series were just as violent as this one but this one had a lot. I have no problem with that but the casual violence and cruelty stuck out more in this one. A father murdering his own son, a midget's head bashed into a concrete floor, a double suicide by hanging, people cut into twelve separate sections, so on, so forth.
Joe Pitt, the main character, was "fuck you" kind of guy. Abused by his parents, turning tricks as a teenaged street kid, infected with the "Vyrus" and forced by necessity to be an enforcer for one of the local vampire "clans" he has not had an easy life. He is a typical pulp/noir wise-ass and loner with his own never defined set of ethics and rules. Pitt only enjoys the company of a couple people and only trusts one person, his girlfriend, who is busy dying of AIDS.
The interesting parts include a vampire freak show in Coney Island, vampire Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn who consider themselves the progeny of the cursed Tribe of Benjamin, the storyline of a sole vampire living in the sewers who feeds on the occasional bum. A lot happened in this one and ends with Pitt escaping the Clans of Manhattan, forced away from his now infected girlfriend, and going into exile into the Bronx.
Finished: "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" by Jeff Lindsay
Finished: Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, 2007, 9780385518338.
A pretty good novel which is no surprise considering the predecessors. This is the third Dexter novel and takes quite a turn from the others. Previously, Dexter had always happily gone about his psychopathic and murderous ways. Since Dexter has no feelings he does not consider himself human. The only quivers or pleasure and joy he receives are in anticipation of and committing murder. But he follows the training of his foster father and is always careful to shield this from everyone.
Dexter has always had a constant companion however. Dexter's Dark Passenger is an interior voice that has guided his actions and his perceptions towards killing. Dexter has let the Dark Passenger take over at those times and guide him along. Dexter considers himself a chauffeur for the Passenger and Dexter enjoys the work. Lindsay never explained the Passenger much before and I always took the "him" to be part of Dexter's psychotic brain.
When Dexter is called to a crime scene at a local university his Dark Passenger has a recoiling fit and flees Dexter's head upon seeing the bodies. Dexter is adrift without his the Dark Passenger and in fear of whatever scared it away. He also starts to wonder what or where the Passenger came from.
Anyway. A well done story by Lindsay that follows the previous storyline of Dexter's upcoming nuptials-by-error with Tina his girlfriend. Dexter has only been dating Tina as a beard to hide his insanity and he has no feelings for her. The only interest he has in the situation is her two children. Horribly abused by Tina's first husband both children are budding sociopaths themselves. The book ending wedding ties in very well with Dexter's novel long predicament of his sorely missed Dark Passenger.
Read: "Fighting Techniques of a Panzergrenadier, 1941-1945" by Dr. Matthew Hughes
Read: Fighting Techniques of a Panzergrenadier, 1941-1945: training, techniques, and weapons by Dr. Matthew Hughes and Dr. Chris Mann, 2000, 0760309310.
An interesting book. Hughs and Mann cover the Panzergrenadier from conception through the end of the war. Panzergrenadiers, like most things German, changed over the course of the war. Units were split apart or reassigned. Older units were newly designated as Panzergrenadiers. Vehicles were broken down and not replaced. The Eastern Front ground everything to the nubs.
Panzergrenadiers were revolutionary because they were the first mobile infantry. The Panzergrenadiers were an integral part of tank warfare. They were given plenty of vehicles so they could keep up with German tanks. Panzergrenadiers could protect the tanks and clean up resistance pockets the tanks bypassed. The concept of armored personnel carriers began with German halftracks (the Krauts used two basic types with several variations) that were lightly armored but able to get within a couple hundred yards of the fighting for the infantry to debus.
Panzergrenadiers were favored units, often SS units, and got all the best and newest equipment. They were also elite units with extensive training. The Hitler Youth Panzergrenadiers in Normandy were trained under very realistic situations (there was an acceptable death rate during training) and proved very stout opponents in the hedgerows. During retreat from the Russians the Panzergrenadiers acted as shock troops for trouble spots. Halftracks would have to be used as assault vehicles when no tanks were available. When industrial production was crippled at the end of the war the Panzergrenadiers had to walk but were still strong units.
Damn, dirty, filfthy, rotten Nazis.
Guy Sajer, whose memoir Forgotten Soldier I read a few years ago, was in a famous Panzergrenadier division, Grossdeutschland.
Read: "Into the Kill Zone" by David Klinger
Read: Into the Kill Zone by David Klinger, 2004, 0787973750.
Pretty good. Klinger spoke with a cross section of officers who had been involved in shootings and collected their oral histories here. Incidents include hostage rescue, warrants, crazy dudes out of nowhere and suicide by cop.
Klinger groups the stories in order of applying for the job, initial training and realization that you may have to shoot someone, experience, close calls, shooting incidents, aftermath. The aftermath matches what I've read and been told about before. Officers in the book covered the extremes of never fully recovering to no lasting effect at all.
All the usual rules apply and the officers' experiences remind and reinforce what to do. Handguns are not guaranteed to put a guy down. Front sight focus. Distance equals safety. Time slowing down into slow motion during shooting. Tunnel vision. Auditory exclusion. So on. So forth.
Interesting tidbits:
Guy is shot and runs into a housing project and takes an ambush position. Officers do not follow on the judgement call of the senior officer who wants to check on the victim. Crook waits in ambush for a bit until a back-up unit arrives. Crook then starts walking off to collapse and bleed out.
One officer is kidnapped by an escaped prisoner and has his weapon taken. Second officer finds them in a clearing within a large, wooded area. First officer grabs his weapon (revolver) by the cylinder so convict cannot fire it. Second officer sprints across clearing and fires as he collides into the other two. Crook is a fat fuck and "the round had gone in at an angle on one side of his belly, traveled between the dermis of the skin and peritoneum, and went out the other side. It never entered his abdominal cavity, so it was basically just a superficial wound."
Two patrol officers respond to crazy woman with knife. Crazy woman is at her doorway and disappears inside. She comes back out waving a eight inch blade knife around. Lowers knife to her side, then raises it again, throws it and the knife sticks in the skull of one of the officers. Officer reminisces, "I was thinking, 'This is the most embarassing thing I've ever been in.' I mean, everyone was staring at me, and I've got a knife in my head. I felt like Friday the 13th or something."
Training officer and his probationary officer get in a fight for their lives at a traffic stop. Both officers are shot and seriously injured but recover. Training officer is recovered and out with a second probationary officer when a suspect runs. Suspect is caught under car and starts fighting with probationer cop. Training officer knocks suspect down, suspect grabs officer's weapon so officer fires shooting the crook in hand. Probationer yells, "I'm shot." Training officers thinks, "Oh, my God, here's another partner, another probationer, shot." Fired round went through crook's hand, off crook's head, into partner's hand.
Great thinking by SWAT cop during home invasion. Team enters house and contains crook and victims in kitchen. Officer is around the corner and steps onto a lower stairway step and braces his MP-5 against the wall at height of crook's head. Crook is taller than female hostage and wearing a blue ski mask. After a couple minutes of screaming the crook pokes his head around the corner, officer sees blue blur and crook gets two .40 rounds in the face.

Primary Liability Insurance coverage protects you form damage or injuries to others as a result of a truck collision. This coverage is mandated by state and federal agencies and proof of coverage is required to be sent to them. We provide coverage limits ranging from $30,000 to $1,000,000. Pricing is dependent on region, driving records, and history of the trucking operation. For a more detailed description of this coverage please contact us.
Physical Damage Insurance is coverage for your truck and trailer. This coverage is for repair or replacement for damage resulting from incidents such as a collision, fire, theft, hail, windstorm, earthquake, flood, mischief, or vandalism to your owned vehicles. Pricing is based on the value of your equipment and usually pays a percentage of that value. This coverage may be required by the lien holder of your vehicle.
Motor Truck Cargo Insurance protects the transporter for his responsibility in the event of damage or lost freight. The policy is purchase with a maximum load limit per vehicle. Coverage limits can range from $10,000 to $100,000 with excess policies available upon request. Pricing for this insurance is mainly dependent on the type of cargo being hauled.
Trailer Interchange Insurance is coverage for the legal liability of trucks for loss or damage to non-owned trailers and equipment which are in the insureds possession under written Trailer interchange agreement.
Non-Trucking Liability (Bobtail Coverage) provides limited liability insurance for owner-operators who are permanently leased to an ICC regulated carrier. It provides limited liability protection when the owner-operator ins not on dispatch, nor pulling a loaded trailer. For example, this coverage would apply when the owner-operator gets their truck washed or brings their trucks into a shop for repairs. Once the owner-operator is under dispatch, they are covered under the Primary Liability insurance policy of the company that they are leased to.
Interstate Operating Authority is permission granted by the federal government to transport regulated freight across state lines. Interstate Operating Authority is now granted by the Office of Motor Carrier Safety Administration under the auspices of the Federal Highway Authority. Unlike many of the other regulations governing interstate operation, there is no minimum weight threshold that requires compliance. Any vehicle operating for hire in interstate transportation of regulated freight or passengers must have operation authority.


The show had some missteps, but overall it was a marked improvement from last year in one major way: Women dominated the night.
The hashtag #GrammysSoMale went viral after the awards show last year. Recording Academy president Neil Portnow chimed in with a tone-deaf response, saying women "needed to step up" — the music industry equivalent of Sheryl Sandberg's corporate feminism mantra "lean in," a comment that totally disregarded the presence of any sexism or bias on the part of the Grammys or the music industry writ large.
Camila Cabello opened the show with a Havana-inspired performance of her hit by the same name that featured Latin music stars Ricky Martin, Arturo Sandoval, and J Balvin. Following up on Cabello's pro-immigration speech from last year's Grammys, this performance saw Balvin sitting on a bench reading a newspaper whose anti-Trump headline read "Build Bridges, Not Walls." It's not insignificant that this was the first time a Latina artist opened the Grammys show.
These performances were a pleasant surprise, since I didn't have high hopes for the Grammys going into Sunday night's show. It was dogged by controversy in advance, particularly since the artist with the #1 song in the country, Ariana Grande, decided not to perform because she felt the show's producer, Ken Ehrlich, was stifling her creative autonomy. In addition, multiple rap nominees declined the Grammys' invitation to perform. Drake, who initially said no, did attend, and accepted his Best Rap Song award for "God's Plan" with a surprising speech that took a swipe at the Grammys; he declared that as long as fans are buying records and concert tickets, these awards don't matter all that much.
Childish Gambino didn't attend, although he was the night's biggest winner, taking home Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Music Video, and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "This Is America," a song that I doubt would have even been considered for these awards if not for its audacious, endlessly analyzable video. His absence suggests that the Grammys still have a hip-hop problem. The fact that "This Is America" was the first rap song to win "Song of the Year" is downright embarrassing, given the fact that hip-hop is now in its mid-40s.
Then there was the announcement last week that Jennifer Lopez would be headlining the Grammys' tribute to Motown's 60th anniversary, which raised a lot of eyebrows (including my own). Not only is JLo not an R&B singer — she's widely known to be a much better overall performer/dancer than vocalist per se; to put it bluntly, she doesn't have the vocal chops or the musical lineage for a Motown tribute. But there she was, headlining a performance that was backed up by Ne-Yo and a Motown legend himself, Smokey Robinson. Diana Ross was already performing in honor of her 75th birthday, but there are dozens of other Motown recording artists who are alive, well, and still performing who would have been a more meaningful choice than JLo, starting with Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Lionel Richie, Boyz II Men, DeBarge, and/or Michael McDonald (who recorded two Motown tribute albums!). JLo should have never been invited to perform this tribute, but given that she was, she should have turned it down.
Considering that in 2018 only one woman won a prominent award during the telecast, this year's winners were much more equitable in terms of gender. Indeed, this year women won Album of the Year (and also represented half the total number of nominees); Best New Artist (most nominees were women); Best Rap Album; Best R&B Album, Performance, and Song; and most of the Country and Pop categories.

What's It Like to Be a 13-year-old Growing up in Gaza?
Enraged by the massive destruction caused by Israeli wars on Gaza Strip, a Palestinian female engineer has decided to use her engineering experience to rebuild the seaside enclave.
In 2016, Majd Mashharawi has joined her friend Rawan Abddllaht in inventing a new form of brick made from rubble and ash in order to rebuild the city.
Is this Palestinian woman a future Nobel Prize winner?Meet Majd, a civil engineer in Gaza who is transforming her town with sustainable bricks and solar kits.
With almost half of the cost of traditional bricks, Mashharawi replaces sand and aggregate with her new formula called "GreenCake" to produce a lightweight brick from materials that would have otherwise been wasted.
She is also stepping in to solve a chronic electricity crisis in the strip, using renewable energy technologies to save the Palestinian territory from darkness.
"The region has a resource that can be harnessed: an average of 320 days of sunshine a year, making solar energy an ideal source of electricity production," Mashharawi said.


On 26 February 1993, shortly before noon, a van drove into the underground parking at the North Tower of the World Trade Centre, New York. Ramzi Yousef, a Kuwaiti national, got off the vehicle, lit four, 20-ft-long fuses with a cigarette lighter and walked out of the building, accomplice in tow. A red getaway vehicle picked them up and sped into the city. Minutes later, a powerful explosion rocked the building. Six persons died and over a thousand were injured. The bomb went off, but the plan had failed.
Yousef and his group of terrorists wanted to bring the twin towers down. They had planned to blow up the base of the North Tower to send it crashing into the neighbouring building. That wasn't to be. The building suffered substantial damage to its lower floors, but the loss of life was considerably lower.
In a letter he sent to The New York Times shortly after, Yousef claimed the terror attack was meant to avenge American involvement in the Middle East and its support for Israel.
A week later, authorities made the first arrest after one of the terrorists claimed his deposit on the rented van he used for carrying explosives! And thus began the chain of arrests, which ended with the capture of Ramzi Yousef from Pakistan, where he'd attempted a hit on Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Everyone arrested was put away for life, while at least one of the perpetrators remains at large.
Eight years later, terror would strike the World Trade Centre once again, this time to far more devastating effect.

Business Law - What is a business plan?
A business plan is simply a written document which outlines your business idea, explaining what you want to do and how you are going to do it. You are free to put this together in whatever format you would like and to include whatever information you think is important. However, it should generally include some basic information such as a description of the business, a description of your related business experience and achievements, predictions of how the business will do in terms of sales and profits and an explanation of what you intend to use your startup capital for.

Q: Python pandas - how to group close elements I have a dataframe where I need to group elements with distance of no more than 1.
For example, if this is my df:
     group_number  val
0              1    5
1              1    8
2              1   12
3              1   13
4              1   22
5              1   26
6              1   31
7              2    7
8              2   16
9              2   17
10             2   19
11             2   29
12             2   33
13             2   62

So I need to group both by the group_number and val where the values of val are smaller than or equal to 1.
So, in this example, lines 2 and 3 would group together, and also lines 8 and 9 would group together.
I tried using diff or related functions, but I didn't figure it out.
Any help will be appreciated!

A: Using diff is the right approach - just combine it with gt and cumsum and you have your groups.
The idea is to use cumulative sum for differences bigger than your threshold. Difference larger than your threshold will become True. In contrast, differences equal or lower to your threshold will become False. Cumulatively summing over the boolean values will leave differences equal or lower to your threshold unchanged and hence they get the same group number.
max_distance = 1

df["group_diff"] = df.sort_values("val")\
                     .groupby("group_number")["val"]\
                     .diff()\
                     .gt(max_distance)\
                     .cumsum()

print(df)

    group_number    val group_diff
0   1               5   0
1   1               8   1
2   1               12  2
3   1               13  2
4   1               22  5
5   1               26  6
6   1               31  8
7   2               7   0
8   2               16  3
9   2               17  3
10  2               19  4
11  2               29  7
12  2               33  9
13  2               62  10

You can now use groupby on group_number and group_diff and see the resulting groups with the following:
grouped = df.groupby(["group_number", "group_diff"])
print(grouped.groups)

{(1, 0): Int64Index([0], dtype='int64'),
 (1, 1): Int64Index([1], dtype='int64'),
 (1, 2): Int64Index([2, 3], dtype='int64'),
 (1, 5): Int64Index([4], dtype='int64'),
 (1, 6): Int64Index([5], dtype='int64'),
 (1, 8): Int64Index([6], dtype='int64'),
 (2, 0): Int64Index([7], dtype='int64'),
 (2, 3): Int64Index([8, 9], dtype='int64'),
 (2, 4): Int64Index([10], dtype='int64'),
 (2, 7): Int64Index([11], dtype='int64'),
 (2, 9): Int64Index([12], dtype='int64'),
 (2, 10): Int64Index([13], dtype='int64')}

Thanks @jezrael for the hint of avoiding a new column to increase performance:
group_diff = df.sort_values("val")\
               .groupby("group_number")["val"]\
               .diff()\
               .gt(max_distance)\
               .cumsum()

grouped = df.groupby(["group_number", group_diff])

A: so you want to group together values in val whose difference is 1 or closer?
One thing you could do:
Assuming you have decimal numbers, you can group them by their rounded value, meaning you group them to the closest specified decimal position, using df.round, so e.g. to round them to the nearest integer:
df.groupby(df["val"].round(0))

Since you have integers, what you could do is divide val by 2, so values who previously differed by 1 now differ by 0.5. Now you round them to the nearest integer with the above function, and you can group them that way!
Btw I dont consider this a full answer, its merely a suggestion on the topic and could be interesting to anyone finding this question

Going off-grid has a lot of perks -- but it also has a number of disadvantages. If your RV tires get flat, it's up to you and the tools available at hand to fix or replace it. Without such knowledge and the proper equipment, you'll likely be stuck in the vast emptiness for a while. That's why we aim to list the best portable air compressor for RV tires for off-gridders like you.
An RV is the best choice for living off the grid.
RV tires are built for durability and rightly so.
Most often, an RV serves as a "home on the road" where people travel around the country for days or weeks on end. An RV serves as their home as well as their means of transportation. They'd traverse miles and miles of endless roads, sometimes smooth and sometimes rough in order to reach their ultimate destination.
That being said, an RV tire should last long and should be able to withstand daily use.
However, it is not impossible for RV tires to get flat, although this happens mostly to older RV tires or when the terrain is extremely rough and isn't suitable for an RV tire. Deflated tires aren't a new thing, but when you're off the grid with more land than establishments, it's better to learn how to fix the problem and have a handy portable air compressor for RV tires.
If you're buying an RV for a long road trip, it's better to get armed with an RV tire inflator in case you get stuck somewhere with no garages and gasoline stations. But remember, some inflators aren't suitable for the needs of an RV tire.
To find what you need, here are some factors you should consider when buying a portable air compressor for RV tires.
PSI means pounds per square inch -- the rating of how much pressure a tire could handle. It is also the total pressure the tool can fill into. When you are choosing a portable air compressor for RV tires, you need to check whether its maximum PSI is high enough pressure to fill the tires.
Nonetheless, PSI calculation for RVs is a little tricky because each wheel carries a different load. That means you have to calculate each pressure of the tire depending on the load they carry. You should look into what you're carrying each time you use your RV. The equipment and stuff you put in it could help determine each wheel's load.
Usually, you can find the needed information on the door jamb of the driver's side.
When buying a portable air compressor for RV tires, it's better when you can see the active pressure of the tire. This helps you know whether you're filling it up just right or you need more. These pressure gauges could either be analog or digital. If you find it difficult to read analog types, a digital one would be the best fit for you.
You also need to test it out, if possible. The accuracy of the gauge will make or break the RV tire inflator. Inaccurate readings could lead to high or low pressure which affects your tires' performances.
There are two main power sources for a portable air compressor for RV tires. First is when you plug it into a cigarette lighter and the other is by hooking it to your RV battery with a pair of 12-volt connection or what looks like jumper cables.
You can choose which of these are easier for you. There's also the consideration of whether your RV is bigger or smaller. If you opt for the jumper cables, a longer cord will be a better choice.
Finding the right portable air compressor can help fix a deflated tire.
CPM or cubic feet per minute pertains to the compressor's air flow rate. If you want your tire to fill up faster, you should get an air compressor with a higher CPM rate.
Perhaps the most essential consideration is the size and the weight of the compressor. As a portable equipment, it should be easy to bring along with you. But that doesn't only mean it should fit within your RV and store it without using too much space.
This should also mean that you can carry it around effortlessly from tire to tire. Choose a compressor that weighs around 10 to 15 pounds and won't be too bulky to carry so you can effortlessly carry it around and do the work on your own.
The horsepower pertains to the maximum power of the engine. Buying portable air compressor for RV tires that have a higher horsepower will give you more strength, making it perform better than portable air compressors with lower horsepower.
However, since you are opting for a smaller and more compact tool, you can't expect to see a 100 HP one.
Some air compressors for RV tires have additional features that make it work better or perhaps, save it from damages. One of these features is the automatic shutoff. Some air compressors include this feature to prevent overheating and any damages that come with running too long.
Speaking of overheating, the runtime of an air compressor is also an important factor. Does it overheat a few minutes after it was turned on? If it does, it's really not worth it at all.
When finding a portable air compressor, it should at least be able to fill up the tires of your RV in one seating before you can recharge it again or before it heats up. If it's also has a higher CPM and a faster inflating time, then it can likely stay running a bit longer.
Although never let it running on when not in use to preserve its battery and its life.
Lastly, find a portable air compressor for RV tires that is within your budget. If you can splurge a little and buy a more expensive one but with better quality and performance, the better.
Basically, the best option is an air compressor that has all the features you need, excellent quality, and within your budget. Of course, you can always save up money first to buy what you want. The important thing is you have this tool before you go on an off the grip trip.
Deflated wheels are common on the road but can be a problem.
The overall performance of this compressor is good. With a 2.0 SCFM at 90 PSI, you wouldn't have to wait long before it can recover and you can use it again. It includes an oil-free pump inside so it requires little to no maintenance at all. As size and portability go, it's a 20-pound air compressor with a handle for hand-carrying so it's rather compact and can be easily carried around by a single person.
With thanks to its long hose as well as the inclusion of accessories, you will likely find anything you need for that RV tire job. However, it does have a minor issue with the noise. Although 79 dBA is not necessarily loud, it definitely isn't quiet either.
There is also some issue with its balance since the little rubber feet can't seem to carry the weight of the tool. Nonetheless, for its price point, it packs some good power that does its job at inflating tires well.
When it comes to inflating RV tires, this has a good track record for fast inflation. It caters well to other off-road wheels as well as normal cars so it's basically an all-around air compressor. The accessories that come with it can make life easier as you're filling the tires.
The 33% duty cycle means that it can run for around 20 minutes which isn't a lot of time if you look at it. After running for at least 20 minutes, it will start to heat up and then its automatic off function will kick in to prevent overheating and damages. But the duty cycle isn't actually a problem, especially when you can finish filling up a tire in less than 5 minutes.
It's also rather quiet which makes it a suitable choice for those who like noiseless machines. For its price, you're going to get a long-lasting machine that does the job well and is rather compact when it comes to size and weight.
This air compressor runs on a car battery and the engine should be on while to use this portable compressor, so you have to use this compressor with caution. With 33% duty cycle, it only lasts around 20 to 40 minutes before it overheats and the auto off function works. However, it is able to fill up smaller RV wheels rather fast, usually less than 5 minutes each wheel.
Included in this air compressor is a 5-in-1 inflator/deflator inline pressure gauge. It is pretty easy to read and an accurate one, at that -- which is essential. It also comes with a free bag for easy storage and makes it easier to bring along with you. Plus it contains an anti-vibration tray that you can use when working.
Overall, this is a compact and reliable air compressor although the requirements on using it does put some people off. However, you can avoid any untoward incident by making sure it's properly used and turned off when not in use to avoid overheating.
GSPSCN tire inflator boasts being able to inflate a regular tire in 1.5 minutes. Bigger tires may take more time, but usually under a 5-minute mark making it a reliable choice when it comes to faster tire solutions. When using, the product recommendation is turning your vehicle's engine on so that it can work faster as it increases power. That being said, caution is important when using this.
For its overall performance, it works well and does the job without leaky nor low-pressured tires of any size or kind, thanks to its direct drive motor with its low rotating speed that can prove to be powerful. This product has a smooth run and is rather easy to store with its portability. It weighs around 6.8 pounds which can be a little heavy but still easy to bring as it includes a bag.
It includes multiple nozzles to make sure it caters to various tires. Additionally, the rubber feet guarantee it does not make a lot of noise and does not vibrate too much.
Off-roading is one of the most exciting adventures you can take when you have an RV. But if you face a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, it is best that you have the best portable air compressor for RV tires. This ensures you can fix the problem in no time and continue your adventure.

Q: Gcc compilation error when compiling a *.cc file I have written a simple C program using gcc compiler in Ubuntu enviroment. The code is simple. Howver, when i try to compile, it is giving an error which I am not able to fathom.  Here is the code and the error
# include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  enum mar_status {
    single,married,divorced
  };
  enum mar_status person1,person2;
  person1 = single;
  printf("%d\n",person1);  //line B
}

I am getting the following error when I compile
gcc enum2.cc
/tmp/cc6stgaW.o:(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If I remove the printf statement at line B, everything goes fine. Any ideas as to why the compilation is failing ?

A: You are using gcc to compile C++ code? (.cc extension)
Either rename the file to enum2.c or compile with g++.

A:
Undefined references to internal run-time library functions, such as __gxx_personality_v0, are also a symptom of linking C++ object files with gcc instead of g++.

Changing file extension from .cc or .cpp to .c will resolve the issue.

A: You are confusing the compiler - when you say:
 gcc enum2.cc

it thinks you are compiling C++ code, but you are doing it with gcc, which doesn't link the correct C++ libraries. Use:
gcc enum2.c

A: Its running fine. Check : http://ideone.com/bhjlf
I guess your command to compile is wrong.

The Internet of Things – Is It the Game-Changer It's Made Out to Be?
There will be 50 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020 compared to 15 billion today.
For any organization with a supply chain or logistics operations, the Internet of Things (IoT) will have game-changing consequences, from creating more 'last mile' delivery options for customers, to more efficient warehousing operations and freight transportation.
According to Cisco IOT will deliver a $1.9 trillion boost to the supply chain and logistics sector.
SpaceX, Orbital ATK and Sierra Nevada Corporation jointly win a $14 billion supply chain contract. The contract has been awarded by NASA for the commercial resupply of the international space station between the years 2019 through 2024. Each company is guaranteed a minimum of six flights with the purpose of delivering cargo, disposing of unneeded cargo, and the return of research samples and other cargo from the station to NASA.
E-commerce is transforming retail which in turn will disrupt a large sector of the logistics industry. Unfortunately that realization seems to be very slow in getting through to us. I've heard said that the logistics industry is opaque, extremely slow to embrace change and is ripe for disruption. Well my friends, to be honest I haven't seen any reason to think otherwise.
I was excited and honored to be invited by the leadership Albuquerque Alumni Association to participate as featured panelist, and discuss economic development and trade corridor opportunities for Albuquerque and New Mexico. Honored because New Mexico Transloading was recognized as an industry leader in this sector and excited because it's a subject I'm very passionate about.


Is there a good use and need for it?
And since they are all part of us, it is important to accept, respect, thank and love them all. No exceptions!
But when we start feeling one of lower vibration, like anger, is there really a "good use and need" for us to fully and completely indulge in feeling it? Or is the "better use and need" for us to simply acknowledge, accept, respect, thank and love that feeling, without being eaten up by it?
We feel in the moment, and lots of times when we look back, we find that there was "no good use and need" for us to feel it wholly. The result is, it did not help us in our body, mind and spirit. And sometimes the recovery is huge.
Depending on your response, either feel it to the extend that feels good for you (without hurting your surroundings), or move on to a "good use and magnificent need" feeling that serves your body, mind and spirit.

Till We Meet Again (1989)
directed by Charles Jarrott
featuring Maxwell Caulfield, Juliet Mills, Michael York, Courteney Cox, Mia Sara, Lucy Gutteridge, Barry Bostwick
Originally titled Judith Krantz' Till We Meet Again, this two-part soaper covers forty-three years in the lives of three women. In 1913, French chanteuse Lucy Gutteridge embarks upon a successful showbiz career. She marries a champaigne heir and bears two daughters, played by Courtney Cox and Mia Sara. The story follows the trials and tribulations of mother and daughters through three wars and an infinite number of romances. A dash of adventure is provided by Courtney's activities as a stunt pilot, while there's glamour aplenty as Mia becomes a world-renowned movie star. The best scenes take place during World War 2, with the horrors of the battlefield running second place to the ladies' boudoir escapades. Barry Bostwick, who seems to have been in every Judith Krantz movie ever made (at least, that's what TV Guide told us back in 1989), costars as Courtney's erstwhile lover. Partly filmed in England, Till We Meet Again was first telecast November 19 and 21, 1989. Hal Erickson, Rovi Read Less

The latest mash-up for classical and pop
In Sunday's (7/13) Los Angeles Times, Mark Swed writes, "The venerable German record label Deutsche Grammophon has just signed Schiller. No, not Friedrich Schiller, the poet and playwright whose 'Ode to Joy' is the text for the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (which has been recorded on DG by Karajan, Bernstein and many other major maestros). We're talking the platinum-selling German electronica band Schiller, which is named after said Friedrich. Classical music mavens online are outraged. Bloggers, ever busy bees, buzz. But perhaps some of that platinum will underwrite expensive major projects from Esa-Pekka Salonen and Gustavo Dudamel, both of whom are DG artists. Letting pop pay the classical piper is a time-honored tradition. We can thank pop sales for helping Columbia to record Stravinsky conducting his nearly complete works in the 1960s. Nonesuch Records has operated admirably on this principle for years.… Nothing is more commonplace than the entwining of classical and pop these days.… At the Brooklyn Festival initiated by the Los Angeles Philharmonic earlier this year, young composers asserted that the world has indeed changed. They are comfortable in both musical worlds and don't like the separate categories." (See "Fast Forward" in the Summer issue of Symphony for a look at today's classical recording industry.)

In Guatemala, investing in indigenous women's economic empowerment is key to building back better after COVID-19
Since March 2020, Guatemala has recorded more than 600 COVID-19 deaths and over 11,000 infections. Amidst this crisis, indigenous women have continued to use their voices, knowledge and capacities to assist their communities and adapt their livelihoods. To build back better, their needs and concerns, but also their leadership must be placed at the centre of COVID-19 recovery plans.

María Tuyuc, 47, believes economic empowerment is key to transforming the discrimination and deficits that indigenous women continue to face in Guatemala. "Less access to services, particularly to education, limits their possibilities for employment and income," she says.
The lack of economic autonomy also prevents them from escaping violence, she adds: "the majority of women who tolerate violence or do not pursue justice through the court system, often do so because they lack economic independence".

Conversely, boosting indigenous women's entrepreneurial abilities can be transformative for them and their communities, and by extension, the entire country. "Economic empowerment allows them to believe in and value their own knowledge and capacities," highlights Tuyuc, who founded the Global Network of Indigenous Businesses. "They have developed their own business models, establishing their own entrepreneurial networks, and in secured access to markets to sell and export their products."
Through this Network, and its Mayan School of Business, Tuyuc supports indigenous communities –particularly women – to grow their businesses and improve their value chains for better income.
Resilience comes from learning and adapting to the new reality
Indigenous businesses and women-led enterprises have been hit hard by the new coronavirus pandemic. "A large number of small and big companies are facing closures, and with that, indigenous entrepreneurs are losing their businesses, which affects the community-based production chains that provide livelihoods for hundreds of families," Tuyuc further explains.
She also says tourism, textiles, agro-industry and handicrafts – sectors where indigenous women have traditionally participated – are among the worst hit by the pandemic. But despite the challenges, indigenous women continue to learn and adapt to the circumstances.
"I have been impressed by their ability to adapt. A woman in Totonicapan [in Guatemala's western region] used to make crates but has now started selling fruits and vegetables. Others have taken advantage of the emergency to improve their sales strategies or have improved their products through innovation," Tuyuc shares.
Rebuilding back better, for María Tuyuc and other indigenous leaders means putting indigenous women at the centre of efforts, going beyond emergency relief and assistance, and focusing on strengthening their economic empowerment.
Indigenous women on the front lines of protecting their communities
In terms of community-based solutions to the unfolding health and economic crisis, indigenous women are already ahead of many.
Otilia Lux, a former Minister and member of UN Women's Civil Society Advisory Group, says that several women in indigenous communities have turned to traditional knowledge and practices in the context of COVID-19. These include, for example, using family orchard production to provide food for their families or engaging in solidarity exchanges within their communities to ensure everyone has their basic needs covered.
"COVID has brought fear, but women have responded by connecting to Mother Earth, to the teachings of their ancestors, by renewing the use of natural medicine, and by leading with wisdom," Lux said at a dialogue with indigenous leaders held by UN Women.
"[Indigenous] Communities have always known how to move forward in the face of adversities," added Rosalina Tuyuc, a human rights activist and co-founder of a widows' association in Guatemala.
UN Women and partners are bringing the voices and experiences of indigenous women at the forefront of COVID-19 prevention and response to strengthen collaboration with indigenous communities.
Aligning national priorities with indigenous women's needs and capacities

"The pandemic comes at a moment in which women's economic empowerment is at the centre of the national agenda," says Adriana Quiñones, UN Women Representative in Guatemala.
"With the recent launch of the National Coalition for the Economic Empowerment of Women – a multi-stakeholder alliance led by the Government of Guatemala and UN Women – we have an opportunity to generate synergies between several actions and create transformative impact on indigenous women's livelihoods."
Set up shortly before the outbreak of COVID-19 in Guatemala, the Coalition aims to generate better economic opportunities for women in business. It also seeks to address the barriers limiting women's participation in the economy, such as the disproportionate burden of unpaid care and domestic work that they usually perform.
Indigenous women are a priority for these efforts to bear fruit. A significant proportion – 79 per cent of the country's indigenous peoples live in poverty. Women continue to face the largest burden of unpaid care and domestic work, which prevents them from fully participating in the formal economy – only 1 in 10 indigenous women do paid work– and even when they do, they earn 19 per cent less than non-indigenous women.
Stakeholders came together to launch the National Coalition for the Economic Empowerment of Women, led by the Government of Guatemala and UN Women. Photo: UN Women/Luis Barrueto
Even as the challenges brought on by the pandemic remain daunting, focusing on indigenous communities can unlock important development opportunities.
"This is the beginning of a long-term effort to address the most important development challenges, based on the idea that women not only improve their livelihoods when they become empowered, but that this has a positive impact in their families, communities, and the country," argues Minister of Economy, Antonio Malouf, who coordinates the work of the Coalition.
"Leveraging the experiences of indigenous leaders is essential to the work of the National Coalition," Ms. Quiñones explains. "This is an invaluable opportunity to listen to indigenous women's contributions and find ways to support and scale-up the transformative work they do in their communities."
