Pakistan was founded in 1947 at a time when nobody was thinking about globalization even though the just finished WW II suggested that. History of the opposing military alliances had important lessons to teach; not only Pakistanis but others keep forgetting that political and economic alliances follow the military ones. Pakistan missed learning important political, economic and military lessons both out of 1965 and 1971.
Creating and sustaining a country like Pakistan compounded by the fact that the two wings of the country were separated by 1000 miles of hostile territory with East Pakistan almost entirely surrounded by our ill-disposed neighbour was always going to be a major challenge. While having complementary economies both logic and reason dictated that each of the "wings" should have been able to "stand alone" militarily.
Unfortunately, the leadership in West Pakistan put self-interest above the national interest. More than 12 Infantry Divisions and 2 Armoured Divisions, along with some independent brigades, nearly 95% of our military power was deployed in Pakistan's western wing. East Pakistan had only one reinforced infantry division (with an additional brigade), one squadron of fighter aircraft and some Navy gunboats.
That should prevent us to take part in one-sided alliances like with Saudi Arabia and the Emirates or even the Iran-Turkey connection.
Even though belatedly reinforced by two lightly equipped infantry divisions flown in (plus another ad hoc division created locally), the moronic bankrupt "strategy" that the "Defence of the East lies in the West" was fully exposed in the break-up of Pakistan in 1971. Since 1979 we have self-created another such ridiculous proposition "Afghanistan gives us strategic depth". The only thing Afghanistan gives us is a "strategic headache".
With globalization picking up speed, power centres are moving. Concerned about China's rising power, hardliners in the West led by the US have over the past few decades sought various permutations and combinations in fresh alignments to contain this expansion. The strategic premise of the west is to build partnerships to dominate the land mass of Asia.
US economic 'pivot' of Asia under President Barak Obama has not delivered politically or economically. Japan has come out of its non-military policy adopted after WW II. Known for its antipathy to China extending over centuries, its Self-Defense Forces (SDF) are now flexing their military muscles in the Pacific. Strategically located by dominating the Indian Ocean India comes across in the western mind as a credible counter to China in any land conflict in Asia.
The new buzzword being bandied among military experts to contain and/or confront China in the Asia Pacific is "military-military" alignment. "Mil-mil" cooperation encompasses Japan, India and the US. While Israel's enormous military capacity is left unspoken, others in the alignment include Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt. The Houthis have kept the latter two at bay for nearly a year in Yemen, Egypt's ability to project power beyond its border is doubtful. However for Japan to build their capacity for undertaking a land war in Asia will take decades. Given their WW II experience, will Japan have the stomach for such a war?
History of the opposing military alliances had important lessons to teach; not only Pakistanis but others keep forgetting that political and economic alliances follow the military ones.
The US and Japan can dominate China in the Pacific (specifically the South China Sea) while the US and India do the same in the Indian Ocean. Does it really matter that the Chinese cannot match these alignments in dominating the oceans? As early as in the 13th century. Genghis Khan emphasized keeping open the land routes for merchants, he frequently stated that the Mongols would never dominate the seas. HJ Mackinder, a British geographer published his idea in 1904 about the "geographical pivot of history" predicting that the future centre of power lies in the Eurasian landmass. It has taken more than a hundred years to prove him right.
The US has come to grief in land wars in Asia (Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan) and with Japanese footprint on the Asian mainland unlikely, this navy-heavy axis supposes that India will be able (or be enabled) to take on China in a land war. This premise reminds us of the ridiculous Pakistani strategy pre and post-1971, given the current developing power constellation in Asia, it is not realistic.
Nixon was able to contain the Soviet Union in the 1970s by exploiting its differences with China and giving Chinese an opening to the west. Times have changed. Is it possible for the emerging "mil-mil" alignments to counter close friends and strategic partners Russia and China in a land war in Asia? The powerful US fleets with their aircraft carrier strength projecting airpower can influence the land battle but only peripherally, can such an alignment at sea dominate in the land mass of Asia? Air power alone cannot win any wars, one must have boots on the ground. The ships out at sea might as well be on a luxury cruise.
The centre towards which all power is gravitating is the Eurasian landmass. China and Russia are certainly the largest powers therein but even they alone cannot dominate the huge territory containing such a variety of people, cultures, traditions and problems without having an effective partnership to go with the network of road and rail routes. This makes the "One Belt One Road" (OBOR) concept, of which CPEC is a part, very important.
Known for its antipathy to China extending over centuries, its Self-Defense Forces (SDF) are now flexing their military muscles in the Pacific.
In order to create a 'new world order' that will be centred in Eurasia a much larger alliance of countries and powers has to be formed; Pakistan is one of those. An important crossway from west to east and from the shores of the Arabian Sea to Central Asia, Russia and China, without Pakistan there is no peace in Afghanistan.
Our strategists have to shift their focus from being fixed on India, Kashmir and Afghanistan and look at the larger picture. In that, we have to play a positive role in connecting countries, powers and economies. That should prevent us to take part in one-sided alliances like with Saudi Arabia and the Emirates or even the Iran-Turkey connection. That doesn't mean that we can't have military connections with either of the country groupings but that should not be to the exclusion of others. The same way we kept our China opening for 60 years while being part of a US-led military alliance, we must keep our US opening.
Not sending our soldiers into the war in Yemen is a realization of this new responsibility of ours. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) could well be the platform on which many of the security-related questions – together with the economic and political ones- can be discussed and hopefully solved (this is the FOURTH in a series about US-Pakistan relationship).

Q: sending mouse/keyboard events on remote desktop So I am trying to set up a Continuous integration environment using Jenkins.
One of the build step requires a series of mouse actions/movements to accomplish a task in Excel. I have already written a python script using the ctypes library to do this.
The script works perfectly fine if I run it either through Jenkins or on the server itself when I am actively logged in to the server using remote desktop connection, but as soon as I minimize/close the connection and then run the script from Jenkins, it seems the mouse events never get executed. Is there something I can add to the script to make this work? Thanks for any help you can provide.

BRUSSELS (ANA/G. Zitouniati) - Greece will participate in the initial nucleus of European Union member-states that will create the European defense, Greek Defense Minister Yiannos Papantoniou said on Tuesday here.
''Greece will participate along with France and Germany in the first nucleus, which will be created for European defense, following an agreement between French President (Jacques) Chirac, German Chancellor (Gerhard) Schroeder and British Prime Minister (Tony) Blair and which became a reality during the latest summit of the Intergovernmental Conference for the finalizing of the European Constitution,'' Papantoniou noted after the meetings.
''It is the first time in modern Greek history that our country is participating in the beginning of a great European effort co-formulating elements in a compatible way with our national interests as well,'' he added.
Speaking of the NATO two-day summit here, which concluded on Tuesday, the defense minister said that the reactions of the United States and those of the alliance where mild and did not question the development of the European defense.
''It is obvious that the US - at the highest political level - have agreed with the development of this initiative. And the participation of Britain in the European effort has lessened especially the American reactions,'' he said.
He reiterated a recent statement that the participation of Britain provides credibility for the European effort, noting that for the European defense to be credible and have greater range it will have to operate in a complementary fashion with NATO and not antagonistically to it.

ADVENTIST HARVARD PROFESSOR HONORED FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO FIELD
Dr. David R. Williams is a Seventh-day Adventist professor currently teaching at Harvard University. Previously, he taught at the University of Michigan where he supported and served as a role model for the the Adventist student organization. His resume is so extensive, that the abbreviated version is more than 40 pages long. At the second annual GYC convention, Dr. Williams held a plenary session on racism in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Years later, GYC invited him to hold a workshop on the same topic which is available on AudioVerse.
Earlier this month, Dr. Williams received the Stephen Smith Award for Distinguished Contributions in Public Health from the New York Academy of Medicine.
The Stephen Smith award is among those that NYAM presents annually at its Anniversary Discourse and Awards Ceremony, which pays special tribute to individuals who have made distinguished contributions to health policy, public health, medicine, and scientific research. NYAM honors innovators in their respective fields that have made a profound difference-in basic science investigation, in therapeutic discovery, in helping shape critical health policy, and in public health impact at home and abroad.1
The award is given every year "to pay special tribute to individuals with distinguished accomplishments inhealth [sic] policy, public health, medicine, and scientific research."2
Dr. Williams has made a deep impact in his field of study and serves as a genuine example of spiritual and academic/professional excellence.
Here is a video of him addressing racism at a university in MA.

YEREVAN (Noyan Tapan)–On December 9–at 9:30 a.m. an armed youth burst into Yerevan Teachers Training Institute and took 15 students hostage. Witnesses say the terrorist demanded a loudspeaker and 10 teachers to exchange them for government members to whom he was going to make his claims.
Introducing himself as a Guinness record breaker–Artyem Minasyan–who is known to have been a renowned athlete–was armed with two rifles and–talking to the students–said that none of them would be injured if his claims were met. Minasyan said that if anyone called the police or attempts were made to apprehend him–his friends would blow up seven buildings in Yerevan which had been mined in advance.
The witnesses' accounts are slightly different from official information. According to information provided by the Ministry of National Security–the director of the Institute was also among the hostages; however Dean of the Department of Armenian Language and Literature Martin Gilavian said that Director Dmitry Nazarian had entered the classroom to negotiate with the terrorist. Thereafter he helped law-enforcement agencies apprehend the terrorist by pushing Minasyan–who lost his balance and fell down. Police reported that the terrorist received two non-fatal bullet wounds and was transported to a hospital at 10:15 a.m. No casualties among students were reported.
The Prosecutor's Office has initiated criminal proceedings in connection with the incident.


Company values have moved up the business agenda. And rightly so. Values will get you somewhere. After all, values are "the points of departures for behaviour"; create frameworks; And steer strategy, policy and action in interaction with the environment. All of which requires worthy behaviour from us. This is often done instinctually, usually a sign of authenticity. If they are made explicit, then that is usually at the level of the obligatory mission-statement. There, high-flown moral notions like reliability and responsibility are sported. That is great, but it does have a high state-the-obvious content and a wide general validity.
In order to be able to react adequately to the rapidly changing environment and its expectations with regard to our behaviour and attitude, we (also) have a (greater) need for a practical vision. This vision contains insights that can be interpreted in concrete behavioural points of departure and in attitudes that help us to be adequately enterprising. Mind you, this is not only about customers, markets and money, but also about you and me, about ourselves. It is about the comanu as an ecosystem not only strinving for "lean and mean" but also for "lean and meaningful" for all stakeholders. It is about a deep understanding of what you are good at and of what you are not ("pretence = competence"). This goes for the company as a whole but also for the individual employee. This requires lasting attention. As it is, values are about the core of the company, giving them no attention means investing in what was good in the past. Usually that will not have a happy ending for that company.
Companies that only strive for ( short term) financial profit usually lose their social value and do not face a long future. On the other hand, companies who do not offer value for money also have a challenge in attracting customers. So, where is the optimum?
So, concretely: what do we put on the business balance score card in this era of acceleration in business dynamics and the digitalization of the business management? We make a first move with a number of statements and interpret these into keywords. These statements mainly deal with the interaction with the customer and one by one have concrete implications for Set-up and Operations, for ICT solutions and for HRM profiles.
decisions, individual assessments or with the selection of new colleagues.
of how we internally aim at that market.
1. To the customer, the company feels like a small company.
2. We are assessed by our supply in the market.
3. We operate on a buyers' market: help the customer to buy.
4. The customer goes before the boss.
5. Dare to be both the teacher and pupil.
6. Pay for performance, promote for ability.
Ad 1. Of course we already did do relation management in the company. But we should not only embed that in the structure of the company, but also in the little figures: B2B = P2P (Business-to-Business is People-to-People). However, there are more and more indications that MZM (Mid-Business Market) customers find this important and are prepared to pay for that. Just like your regular car mechanic or financial advisor forms an interpretation of "preferred banking" for you. ICT makes it possible to make this a selling point for every company and in this way, at the same time give more customer focus to the company.
Ad 2. The market is/becomes even more the standardized. That decides the added value of a company and with that its continuity. This means that, with regard to our ideas on added value, earning power and customer desire, we have to listen to the market and not to ourselves. Customer focus and really listening are essential issues here. In this statement, it is obviously not only about what but also about how. A clumsy putting away of a good offer does not work either. So that also means that the organization should closely "chafe" the market with an open eye for what the market wants to pay for the supply with a high "do as you promise" content.
Ad 3. The more transparent the market, the more 'the customer is king'. In a business where a long-lasting relation with the customer is desirable, the approach of the bags-seller on Gran Canaria, who has to score now and here, is no use. Companies who put a long-lasting customer relation as their focus, often do not need sales anymore but consultative selling. This requires a certain humility, great listening skills, empathy, patience and the ability to win the customer's trust. It is the attitude of the butcher at the corner, who combines the desires of yesterday, of today and of tomorrow of his individual customer in the supply that he, as a company, provides. Driven by customer value, consequently.
Ad 4. The customer pays my wages. This goes directly and very palpably in a one-man business. This also goes, though less palpably, for large companies. More and more, a conflict may arise between the boss, who assesses me and the customer who pays my added value. This means that the loyalty will more and more shift from the employer towards the customer. According to this guideline, you will therefore opt for the customer. This movement becomes very visible in the chain reversal, where the customer will control the company, with spectacular effects for turnover and costs.
Ad 5. If you experience yourself solely as a teacher and not as a pupil, then that will result in your not learning anything anymore. This is a dangerous situation for the business, the more so because usually you do not notice that as a teacher. Even though it will be difficult, the only remedy is to call each other to account for that. 360 degrees assessments help to prevent this.
Ad 6. We pay for performance, but someone's possibilities for the business determine his earning power. Therefore, avoid promotion for performance. We discover the possibilities through the development of competence passports and real interest for the colleagues. The talent to spot talent is one of the determining factors for continuity of the company.
Ad 7: Out of sight, out of mind is a powerful mechanism but does not promote real cooperation. To put down real performances in the market we will have to "build giants" by daring to stand on each other's shoulders. Trust each other, honour each other, pats on the back for every visible or less visible, humble, contribution form the basic attitude and condition to create real cooperation. Just as in sports: also he who gives the assistance, deserves the applause. Not only the big boss should get attention.
One of the core assignments of every company is to learn to really understand. Understand the market, the customer, the colleague. Without understanding there is no connection. And without connection there is no cooperation. To really understand this, you have to be able, and dare, to understand: stand in a different way, sometimes literally. To be able to see and listen from a different position. From the pupil's role instead of the teacher's role for instance. Observe a problem or situation through someone else's glasses, the customer, the colleague, the stakeholder. Re-position and take another viewpoint should also be possible within the structures of the company. When in a company everything is organized according to fixed procedures and is locked up through fixed routine structures, people included who then work on the conveyor belt, then such a company cannot re-position and therefore not understand. Such a company will then have a problem. If everything is a must there is no chance to meet, no colleagues, no customer and no one else. For companies it will be one of the major assignments or challenges to regain this ability to (under)stand. If you can, you may stay. If you can't you will pass. To understand and to keep creating a lasting meeting with the market and the customer you need the meeting with yourself. And for the meeting with yourself, it is necessary to have an insight in your own value(s). That makes it possible to keep going amidst the "changes caused by the Internet in life and work", the study assignment of our Research Group. Stir or flood, do you let yourself be flooded or will you happily go surfing on the Internet?
Yes. "I empower you" means I have the power to give you power. That's dis-empowering. That fact swamps the message. Instead, stop taking power from people in the first place.

The Newcomers, The Investors, and The Sustainable Food Industry
In recent years, there has been an influx of venture capital firms investing in the food and ingredients industry. This is in response to the growing interest in healthy and sustainable food options, as well as the potential for high returns in this rapidly growing sector.
New venture capital firms investing in the food and ingredients industry are plentiful but taking an initial look at Acre Venture Partners and Cavu Ventures before we get into the new kids on the block. These firms are focused on investing in early-stage companies that are developing innovative and disruptive solutions in the food and ingredients space.
Acre Venture Partners is a California-based firm that was founded in 2015 by Lucas Mann (photo) and his two co-founders Jeffery Dunn and Gareth Asten. The firm invests primarily in companies that are working on new ways to grow, process, or distribute food. To date, Acre Venture Partners has invested in companies such as Back to the Roots, SuperGut and Meati - placing them as key players in the food and ingredients industry right now.
Cavu Ventures is a New York-based firm that was founded in 2015. The firm invests in companies that are developing new technologies to enable the food system to be more sustainable and efficient. Cavu Ventures has made some recent investments in companies such as Made by Nacho, Native Pet, Once Upon a Farm and WhistlePig - showing their interest in supporting a sustainable food ecosystem.
And whilst these companies could be considered as "newcomers" over the VCs that have been committed to the industry for decades and beyond, there are indeed some even newer firms now throwing their cash into the ring.
Supply Change Capital, founded in 2020. This firm has already found a number of seats through seed round investments into Hyfé, Agua Bonita, Aqua Cultured Foods and Ayo Foods.
Interestingly, the co-founders have a depth of combined experience in food & agriculture having worked with some of the world's largest companies, including Kraft Heinz, Land O'Lakes, General Mills, and PepsiCo.
It would appear that Food & Ag is no longer an industry to write off as "too risky" for impact investors, and we can only expect to see this trend continue as more
people become concerned about the sustainability of our food system.
Jove Island Capital is another food & agriculture focused venture firm headed up by Gregory Johnson and Marc Pinto (photo) - both having a wealth of experience that positions them as safe hands when it comes to managing investment portfolios.
Jove Island is interesting because it takes an accelerator-first approach to Food & Ag investing, which is relatively rare in the space. The firm plans to work closely with the portfolio companies to help them scale through its network of mentors, advisors, and industry experts. SUCDEN ventures is a venture arm of the French sugar beet cooperative, which has been around for over 100 years.
In 2021, they launched a Food & Agriculture Innovation Fund to invest in early and growth-stage companies.
So far, SUCDEN Ventures has recently placed cash inside Tropic Biosciences which produces commercial varieties of tropical crops intended to promote cultivation efficiencies and meet growing food demand. They also have secured an interest in Amai Proteins offering healthy sugar substitutes.
So there you have it! Some of the newer kids on the block when it comes to VC firms investing in Food & Ag. With big names behind them and lots of cash to splash, we can only expect big things from these companies in the years to come.
Meyrick Consulting has been working with VC and PE firms for many years - helping them build high-performing, successful executive leadership teams capable of driving maximum returns on their investments.

President Obama Speaks on Preventing Sexual Assault in Military and Colleges
Written by Hysen Sisco, MIM Intern
On January 22, 2014, President Obama spoke from the East Room about the status and prevention of sexual assault in the United States. President Obama spoke plainly when he said, "Sexual assault is an affront to our basic decency and humanity." And to sexual assault victims, he said, "I've got your back."
I commend the President for speaking so boldly against sexual assault, and validating the concerns of those who recognize rape culture in our society. While I understand that the President may feel limited due to the sensitive nature of this issue, I wish he had spoken more condemning the causes of this problem. Yes, he spoke of "a fundamental change in our culture – a shift in our attitudes about how we think about sexual violence." But we need to amend our actions in order to spur lasting change. I'm talking about addressing pornography use in our country.
In his speech, the President covered three main issues: men's attitudes toward women and the history of sexual assault in our country's military and colleges. Let me illuminate how porn affects each of these dilemmas.
"Real men don't hurt women."
Porn changes how a user views those around them. In general, it represents women as passive objects that exist for the sexual pleasure of men; that they enjoy all sexual acts no matter how degrading. President Obama explained the problem of men viewing women as sex objects, saying,
We've got to keep teaching young men in particular to show women the respect they deserve and to recognize sexual violence and be outraged by it, and to do their part to stop it from happening in the first place… I want every young man in America to feel some strong peer pressure in terms of how they are supposed to behave and treat women.
How many sexual assaults have occurred spontaneously and organically without some sort of inspiration? I'd say, very few. And research backs me up. Porn informs users' beliefs about consent and pleasure. Porn shows women, and sometimes men, in violent, demeaning situations from which users gain positive reinforcement because their experience ends in orgasm. This cycle is repeated, despite the user's personal opinions against sexual violence; those opinions are ground down with repetition. Their beliefs have changed such that they are more likely to be in society and act out with sexual assault or violence.
"These crimes have no place in the greatest military on Earth."
In 2013, at least 70 sexual assaults were reported per day in our nation's armed services due to a culture that accepts sexual assault. President Obama decried the legacy of the US Military as being a place of violence against women.
If [a] woman doesn't feel like she has recourse when she's subject to abuse, and we're not there supporting her, shame on us. When a member of our military is assaulted by the very people he or she trusted and serves with,… that's a profound injustice that no one who volunteers to defend America should ever have to endure.
… As Commander-in-Chief, I've made it clear to our military leadership that we need to deal aggressively with the problem of sexual assault in our armed forces. It has been going on too long, and we have an obligation to protect the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us… I've made it clear I expect significant progress in the year ahead.
Despite the Military Honor and Decency Act, which requires the US Department of Defense to remove all sexually explicit materials sold or rented by stores on military bases, pornography continues to be sold by the Army and Air Force. Because the belief that women are sex objects is strengthened on a regular basis via porn, sold to them by their employer, it can be rightly assumed that someone is going to act on that belief with a co-worker.
"Schools need to be places where … young people feel secure"
There is a sexual assault problem on our college campuses. The President voiced his concerns and resolve to fix this problem.
It is estimated that 1 in 5 women on college campuses has been sexually assaulted during their time there – 1 in 5… It's totally unacceptable.
… [T]oday, I will sign a presidential memorandum creating the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault… to help [educational institutions] come up with better ways to prevent and respond to sexual assault on their campuses… [and] put those ideas into practice.
Some of the problem is due to the university administrations' insufficient policies, some is due to the student's attitudes about sex and consent. Rape culture is most powerful on college campuses where porn use is considered a requisite hobby. With the introduction of Sex Weeks at many universities – many of which omit any mention of the actual harms of pornography, but instead laud its benefits – students are actually in greater danger of sexual assault.

"The United States of America will be the global leader."
The President concluded his speech saying, "I've often said in my travels around the world: You can judge a nation, and how successful it will be, based on how it treats its women and its girls." I suppose he is trying to avoid becoming like India and bits of Africa and the Middle East, nations in the public eye for the horrendous treatment of their women. Those countries, more often than not, face unrestrained access to pornography and severe addiction to it.
If this administration is really interested in protecting women from sexual assault, they should begin to enforce the existing laws against pornography. If less people have access to these obscene materials, the less likely they are to become predators acting out sexual aggressions they've seen.
UPDATE: If you want the Obama administration to understand the importance of this issue, find out how you can contact Attorney General Eric Holder, who refuses to enforce existing federal obscenity laws against hardcore pornography, here.
UPDATE: The task force organized by the Obama Administration has launched a new website for students, following its 90-day investigation into sexual assault on campuses. There, students can find resources to aid in sexual assault safety and even report their university or college for not complying with federal law in protecting student safety. While there isn't any information on the causes of sexual harassment and rape culture, you can visit the site here: https://www.notalone.gov/

Biden's "Nightmare" Climate Advisor is Connected to Energy Transition Team Members
by Rob Galbraith

President-elect Joe Biden has signalled his intent to make climate change a signature effort of his upcoming administration. However, while Biden has been lauded for this, concerns remain about the degree to which he is willing to challenge the power of the fossil fuel industry.
Environmental activists' concerns about Biden's approach to climate change are in many ways personified in one figure: Ernest Moniz.
Moniz was Secretary of Energy in Obama's administration from 2013 through 2017 and played a critical role in generating support for fracked gas as a "bridge fuel" and in launching the liquefied natural gas export regime that proliferated under Obama. He is currently a director of Southern Company, the second-highest carbon-polluting energy utility in the United States.
During the 2020 presidential election, Moniz was reported to be an informal advisor to Biden's campaign. Biden's initial climate plan received an "F-" grade from the youth-led Sunrise Movement in 2019, though he was pushed by activists to call for more significant climate action later in his campaign. Still, in the final weeks before election day, Biden unequivocally rejected calls to ban fracking, and declared support for investing in technologies to capture and store carbon emitted by burning fossil fuels as a key component of his agenda.
Now Moniz has been widely speculated to be a top contender to again lead the Department of Energy, which oversees the nation's energy policies and nuclear materials.
Last week, Biden announced the "agency review teams" that will guide his transition into the White House. These teams play important and influential roles because they shape the contours of executive policy as well as critical staffing decisions. As Politico notes, "[m]embers of review teams often end up taking jobs at the agencies they are assigned to and will influence who the Biden administration eventually hires."
Several members of President-elect Biden's agency review team for the Department of Energy (DOE) have extensive ties to Moniz – in particular, the team lead, Arun Majumdar, who is also being discussed as a top candidate for DOE Secretary. Majumdar and four other DOE transition team members – a full quarter of the entire team – have professional connections to Moniz through the Department of Energy, through Moniz's think tank, or through positions at private equity and venture capital firms. All this raises concerns about Moniz's influence over the policy direction and staffing decisions within Biden's DOE, and suggests that – even if Biden rejects Moniz himself – Moniz's network could play a critical role in setting energy policy in the Biden administration.
"Nightmare" Biden climate advisor Ernest Moniz
Former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has widely been discussed as a top candidate to lead the Department of Energy under Joe Biden. Moniz has close ties to the fossil fuel industry, and has been described by climate journalist Kate Aronoff as "giving nightmares" to environmental activists seeking major government intervention to halt climate change and transition off of fossil fuels.
In the early 2010's, Moniz helped manufacture consensus around the controversial use of fracking to produce natural gas and laid out the justification used to begin permitting the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Moniz was the lead author of a report published by the MIT Energy Initiative that endorsed fracked gas as a "bridge fuel" and promoted LNG exports as a means to attain US geopolitical goals.
As we covered in our 2013 analysis of that report, the MIT study was funded by the oil and gas industry and the study team – Moniz included – was rife with industry conflicts of interest. The MIT Energy Initiative has received hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from oil companies like BP, Chevron, and Eni, among other donors. Moniz's natural gas report was funded in part by the American Clean Skies Foundation, a non-profit established by the fracking company Chesapeake Energy to promote natural gas as environmentally friendly. While working on the study, Moniz himself was advising the private equity firm NGP Energy Technology Partners. Another study group member, former CIA director John Detuch, also advised NGP Energy Technology Partners (which was run by his son Philip). In a clearer conflict of interest, Deutch was a board member at the LNG company Cheniere Energy while working on the MIT study. In January 2011, six months before the MIT report was released, Cheniere filed for a permit to begin exporting LNG, and at the time of the report's release the firm was the only company to have such a permit approved.
As Secretary of Energy, Moniz presided over an expansion of US fracking and large expansion in exports, both of natural gas and of crude oil after Obama lifted the ban on those exports. Just before Moniz joined the Department of Energy, in March 2013, Cheniere requested to increase its export capacity. Heather Zichal, an Obama climate advisor (and an advisor to Joe Biden's presidential campaign), left public office in November 2013 and joined the Cheniere board of directors in 2014. In 2016, Cheniere launched its first shipment of liquefied natural gas from its Sabine Pass facility.
After Donald Trump took office, Moniz joined the board of a major carbon polluter, the gas and electric utility Southern Company. Moniz also launched two projects – the for-profit consulting firm EJM Associates and the non-profit think tank Energy Futures Initiative – intended to shape the policy debate around energy issues. Since then, Moniz has rejected the popular Green New Deal framework for a mass social mobilization to combat climate change and economic inequity, introducing an opposing counter-proposal he has called the "Green Real Deal" (which he announced at the fossil fuel-backed US Chamber of Commerce lobbying group). Moniz has also backed industry-friendly climate interventions like carbon taxes and carbon capture (also called "carbon removal" or "negative emissions technologies") in the time since he left public office.
Now, as Moniz has become the face of the possible centrist, market-based approach to climate feared by climate activists, President-elect Joe Biden has signalled his embrace of Moniz's policy priorities even if Moniz himself does not land a cabinet position.
In addition to embracing fracking on the campaign trail, Biden has made investment in negative emissions technologies, a major Moniz talking point, a priority of his climate transition plan. On November 17, Biden named Cedric Richmond, an ally of the fossil fuel industry, to a White House position "as a liaison with the business community and climate change activists."
Further, the agency review team Biden appointed to guide his transition into the White House draws from the same policy planning networks that Moniz travels in, and several members have direct ties to Moniz and his companies.
Arun Majumdar and Moniz
Arun Majumdar is in the influential position of team lead of the DOE agency review team, and he has been reported as a candidate for Energy Secretary for the incoming Biden administration. Majumdar has worked at the intersection of the energy industry, federal energy regulation, and academic think tanks throughout his career, during which he's developed close ties to Ernest Moniz. For example:
Majumdar was Vice Chair of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board from 2014 to 2017, meaning he served as a top advisor to Ernest Moniz during most of Moniz's tenure as Energy Secretary. The Advisory Board "provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Energy on the Administration's energy policies" and other policies, activities, and operations.
Majumdar is currently the co-director of the Precourt Institute for Energy, which co-released an October 2020 report with Moniz's Energy Futures Initiative that argues for the pairing of natural gas-burning combined cycle power plants with carbon capture and storage in California – as opposed to stopping fossil fuel extraction and consumption altogether – to help the state meet its emissions reductions goals. Moniz has also spoken at different events at Majumdar's Precourt Institute.
Majumdar has served on the advisory board of Lime Rock New Energy, a "new energy"-focused private equity firm. The chair of Lime Rock New Energy's advisory board is Ernest Moniz. (Lime Rock New Energy's page does not currently list Majumdar as an advisor, but his Lime Rock profile page is archived as recently as September 18, 2020 at archive.org. Bloomberg reports that Majumdar "has been told to resign from all boards and organizations associated with energy to eliminate perceived conflicts of interest.")
Majumdar played different roles with the Energy Department during nearly the entire two-term administration of President Obama, which oversaw a vast expansion of fracking and a green-lighting of LNG and crude oil exports. As mentioned, he served as Vice Chair of the Advisory Board to Energy Secretary Moniz from 2014 to 2017. Majumdar also held the position of Acting Undersecretary for Energy from March 2011 to June 2012 under Steven Chu, who served as Energy Secretary from January 2009 to April 2013. In this role, Chu and the Energy Department oversaw a major expansion of fracking production under Obama.
(In 2013, Chu was the keynote speaker at an American Natural Gas Alliance conference, where he claimed that fracking could be done safely. Notably, the idea that the environmental risks of fracking are "challenging but manageable" was a key talking point from Moniz's influential report on natural gas at MIT. Chu is now a professor at Stanford University, where Majumdar also is based.)
Prior to serving as Acting Undersecretary for Energy under Chu, Majumdar was a Founding Director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E). The ARPA-E "advances high-potential, high-impact energy technologies that are too early for private-sector investment," according to its website. Majumdar was nominated to this position in October 2009 by President Obama and served until June 2012.
Majumdar's further ties to the Moniz network
Majumdar is the co-director of the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University, whose founding donor, Jay Precourt, has held executive positions at oil and gas corporations like Hamilton Oil, Tejas Gas, and Shell Oil, and has served on the boards Apache Corporation, Halliburton, and other fossil fuel companies. The Institute's advisory council includes oil and gas investors like Energy Capital Partners, as well as George Schultz, the co-architect of a fossil fuel industry-backed carbon tax plan, though it also includes "clean energy" advocates like Tom Steyer and clean energy investors.
As co-director of the Precourt Institute at Stanford, and with his close ties to the Obama/Moniz DOE, Majumdar is centrally located amidst a network of Moniz-tied individuals who rotate within the same regulatory-industry-think tank circuit. For example:
Franklin "Lynn" Orr was the founding director of the Precourt Institute, serving as head from 2009 to 2013. He went on to serve under Moniz at the DOE from December 2014 to January 2017 as the Under Secretary for Science and Energy. Orr is also an advisor to Moniz's Energy Futures Initiative.
Dan Reicher is a distinguished associate at Moniz's Energy Futures Initiative and a former member of the Precourt Institute's Energy Advisory Council. He is also a Venture Partner at RIDGE-LANE Limited Partners, a venture capital firm co-founded by former fracking lobbyist Tom Ridge, where Arun Majumdar is currently a senior advisor on sustainability (as we show below, another member of the Biden energy transition team, John MacWilliams, is also a RIDGE-LANE Venture Partner). Reicher was Google's Director of Climate Change and Energy Initiatives from January 2007 to November 2010 (Majumdar would join Google in 2012 – see below). Reicher was part of Barack Obama's transition team and also served as Energy Department's chief of staff under Bill Clinton. He is currently a senior research scholar at the Stanford Woods Institute for Environment.
Majumdar has also used his expertise and government experience to profit in the corporate world. Between 2012 and 2014 served as Google's Vice President of Energy. According to his Stanford faculty page, he serves as an advisor to Envision Energy, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, First Light Fusion, the New Energy Group of Royal Dutch Shell, Lime Rock New Energy, Autogrid, and Clearvision Ventures (as mentioned above, Bloomberg reports that Majumdar was told to resign from all related boards and organizations).
Majumdar's position on Lime Rock New Energy's Advisory Board is worth noting. As mentioned, the chair of Lime Rock New Energy's advisory board is none other than Ernest Moniz (he joined the board in 2019). Moreover, Lime Rock New Energy is affiliated with Lime Rock Partners, which has nearly two dozen oil and gas companies in its portfolio. As we've reported, Lime Rock Partners, through its portfolio company CrownRock, finances the business operations of Tim Dunn, a major donor in Texas politics who is the driving force behind the controversial, hard right group Empower Texans.
Furthermore, Mark McCall, currently a Managing Director of Lime Rock New Energy, temporarily left Lime Rock to serve under Moniz as the Executive Director of the DOE's Loan Programs Office from 2015 to 2017. As McCall's Lime Rock bio states, "In that capacity, he reported directly to the Secretary of Energy and was responsible for a $30 billion portfolio of existing clean energy technology investments" and for originating loans to support the "commercialization of innovative technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the automotive, renewables, nuclear, and hydrocarbons industries."
All this means that McCall, Moniz, and Majumdar all joined or re-joined Lime Rock in some capacity after leaving their roles with the Moniz-era DOE – in effect, a joint revolving door journey from the Energy Department into the same energy-focused private equity firm.
Majumdar also advises Breakthrough Energy, a group of super-wealthy investors started in 2015 by Bill Gates that also includes Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, David Rubenstein, and Jack Ma, among others. Breakthrough Energy has been a partner of Moniz's Energy Futures Initiative. While the group "supports the innovations that will lead the world to net-zero emissions," some of its investors, like Bloomberg and Rubenstein, are invested in fracking and other oil and gas infrastructure.
Majumdar has also served on the board of directors of the Electric Power Research Institute. The EPRI board is filled with executives from major utilities, such as Southern Company and Duke Energy, whose power generation is rooted in fossil fuels, and its advisory board is chaired by the President and CEO of Altus Midstream, a pipeline company that transports fossil fuels from the Permian Basin to the Gulf Coast. (Majumdar just resigned from the EPRI board to avoid conflicts of interests).
In addition to Moniz's EFI co-sponsoring the recent report with Majumdar's Precourt Institute, Moniz has had speaking engagements at the Institute over the past few years. In June 2020, for example, the Precourt Institute hosted Moniz for an interview, which Majumdar helped conduct.
Other Moniz-Tied DOE Transition Team Members
(i) Jonathan Elkind
Jonathan Elkind is currently a Distinguished Associate at Moniz's think tank, the Energy Futures Initiative. Elkind worked under Moniz and Chu at the DOE from 2009 to 2017. At the DOE, he helped "coordinate energy policy in the Obama Administration" and led "climate and energy programs with key global partners," according to his Columbia University bio. He finished his DOE service as the Department's assistant secretary for the Office of International Affairs.
The Energy Futures Initiative is advised by a board chaired by former BP CEO Lord John Brown Madingley and includes former CIA director and Cheniere Energy board member John Deutch, and J. Todd Mitchell, whose family fortune comes from the fracking company Devon Energy.
Elkind is also a Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University, which has received funding from ExxonMobil in the past and whose advisory board includes ConocoPhillips chief operating officer Matt Fox and numerous energy investors from large banks. The founding director of CGEP, Jason Bordoff, is a former Obama administration national security official who co-authored a paper arguing for using US LNG exports to combat Russian hegemony in European energy markets.
(ii) John MacWilliams
John MacWilliams served as Associate Deputy Secretary and Chief Risk Officer of the Department of Energy under Moniz. In April 2020, MacWilliams was named an Operating Partner of Apollo Global Management, one of the world's biggest private equity firms. Before joining the DOE, he worked at several financial firms, and served as Co-Head and Partner of Beacon Group Energy Investment Funds, a portfolio of 30 energy companies that included oil and gas, coal mining, petrochemicals, and pipelines.
As mentioned above, MacWilliams is also a Venture Partner at RIDGE-LANE Limited Partners, where Arun Majumdar is a Senior Advisor, and a Senior Fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, where Jonathan Elkind is a Senior Research Scholar.
(iii) Dan Arvizu
Dan Arvizu was the director of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a government-owned research laboratory funded by the Department of Energy, from 2005 until 2015, when he retired during Moniz's term as Secretary of Energy. According to the press release announcing his departure from NREL, Arvizu was also a member of Moniz's Energy Policy Council.
Arvizu is named as an external advisory board member of Stanford University's oil- and gas-funded Global Climate & Energy Project and he is also an advisor to Majumdar's Precourt Institute for Energy.
Arvizu is also the Chair of R&D at RIDGE-LANE Limited Partners, the venture capital firm where Arun Majumdar is an advisor and John MacWilliams is a venture partner.
(iv) Dave Turk
David Turk is the Deputy Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, an international energy policy forum made up of nearly three dozen countries. From 2014 to 2016, Turk served under Ernest Moniz as Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Climate and Technology in the Department of Energy.
Dozens of climate and environmental justice organizations have formally asked President-elect Biden "to commit to ensuring Ernest Moniz holds no public or private role, whether formal or informal, in your transition team, cabinet, or administration." Whether or not Moniz himself becomes the next US Energy Secretary, the staffing of Biden's energy transition team sets up his network to have significant sway over the Department of Energy's policy orientation and personnel make-up under the upcoming Biden administration. Indeed, reflections of Moniz's influence can already be seen in aspects of Biden's climate agenda, such as Biden's steadfast support of fracking and prioritization of carbon capture technologies.
As climate activists continue to pressure Biden to reject Moniz individually, it is critical to also pay attention to the pro-fossil fuel corporate and policy planning networks to which Moniz and his colleagues belong and which are also seeking to shape US energy policy to ensure continued dominance and profit for private corporate interests.

Donald G. Ingalls (July 29, 1918 – March 10, 2014) was an American screenwriter and television producer. He was a lifelong friend of Gene Roddenberry, having served in the Los Angeles Police Department with him.

Early life
Don Ingalls was born in Humboldt, Nebraska on July 29, 1918. During the Second World War, Ingalls was in the United States Army Air Forces as a pilot. He was stationed in Europe, flying Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses. Following the war, he subsequently became a test pilot for North American Aviation.

Ingalls became a police officer and worked under Chief William H. Parker in the Los Angeles Police Department within the Public Information department. It was in the police that he met lifelong friend Gene Roddenberry for the first time, and both of them transitioned from the Newspaper Unit within the Traffic Department to the new section when Parker was made chief. The pair shared a common background, both of them having been B-17 pilots during the war. During this time, they worked from a single office on the 27th floor of the Los Angeles City Hall. The duo shared a desire to become writers, with Ingalls being the first between them to resign from the LAPD to pursue this objective.

Screenwriting career
Roddenberry and Ingalls drifted apart following the latter's resignation, but reunited early on in their writing careers. Roddenberry was initially the more successful of the two, and recommended Ingalls as story editor to Sam Rolfe on the television series Have Gun – Will Travel. He would also continue to recommend Ingalls for other screenwriting jobs around the same time, while Ingalls went on to become an associate producer at Have Gun – Will Travel. When Roddenberry began to develop Star Trek, he sent Ingalls a series outline but asked him to keep it "very, very confidential".

Ingalls went on to write two scripts for Star Trek, his first being "The Alternative Factor". His second script, "A Private Little War", was intended to be a criticism piece on the Vietnam War, but was heavily re-written by Roddenberry to the extent that Ingalls was angry at him for a year and insisted on being credited only under the pseudonym "Jud Crucis".

He wrote episodes for a variety of television series, and was a producer on shows such as Fantasy Island, T.J. Hooker and Kingston: Confidential. Ingalls also wrote a handful of television movies such as the 1979 Captain America film. He has a single theatrical film credit, Airport 1975 (1974). His final work was the novel, Watchers on the Mountain (2005) a fictional work about the Navajo Nation.

Death
He died in 2014 after a long illness at his home in Olympia, Washington.

I get many questions asking me about starting a business. How I started mine. How I got my name out there, so on and so forth. I also get asked a lot, "how do you do it all?". I will talk about that last question at a later date, but let's tackle the questions about starting a business, shall we? Now, I am no expert. So what I say is just my experience. I feel like I should put a disclaimer in this post. You know like a weight loss infomercial does. "Results not always typical". I can't possibly guarantee what has worked for me will work for you.
2 years ago is when the idea came to me to make camera strap covers. I knew nothing of Etsy. I knew nothing about starting a crafty business. And mostly. I knew nothing about sewing. I just knew that I had just gone on a photo shoot, and my neck hurt. Bad. A red mark from my camera strap led me to the thought, and action led me to my business, *Shey*[B]. But the action part didn't take place until we moved from North Carolina to Arizona. It's hot here. I don't like the heat. So… I stay in the house a lot. What better time is there to create? And that's just what I did. Now, I am lucky, because my husband is a Vice President of one of the companies he works for. He is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to anything business. He helps me, advises me, and he is my biggest cheerleader. Having someone who supports you whole heartedly is KEY to owning your own business.
Now. You have this business. What do you do next? Good question. Figure this out… How big do you want your business to get? And be realistic about it. What kind of time do you have? Do you want to sell only what you have already made, or do you want to sell made to order/custom items? I also have noticed that having a focus in your store helps too. If you have 20 different items that are completely random from each other, it can get confusing, and turn people off. Also. Set realistic goals for yourself. If you don't get many sales, don't quit. Keep going – Don't let the lack of sales get you down.
This is where my passionate side comes out, because I really believe this is what works. It worked for me, and it works for -so- many others. Advertising. I know I have said this before. And yes, I am saying it again. And I am sure you'll here it again, and again.
Let's think about advertising for a minute. All companies advertise in some way or another. Otherwise how would anyone know the company existed? Right. They wouldn't. Advertising is especially crucial for us little guys who don't have millions of dollars to throw down for TV commercials, magazine ads, etc etc. Where should you advertise? How about your favorite blog? Start there and see how it goes. When I first started my business, I was given this same valuable advice. At first I brushed it off not thinking anything of it. But I began noticing that advertising does work! That's when I began offering giveaways…. Giveaways are in the advertising bubble. It's an "in your face" type of advertising. A blog features a store and talks about nothing other than that person and their products in that 1 post. It's a great great way to start getting your name out there. Now, a fact. Presently, many blogs are charging for advertising. Sometimes you'll just pay for a giveaway, sometimes the advertising and giveaway are included. I offer advertising on my blog. Why do people charge for this? Simply because all of this takes time. Writing a giveaway post can take me upwards of an hour or more to write. That's a lot of time. But we are trying to sell your company and get you some sales. Pricing for advertising varies a lot, so make sure and ask the blogger what their rates are. I believe in the saying, "You've got to spend money to make money." Believe it very much. Keep this in mind too. Advertising is a risk. It may not work… but is it a risk you're willing to take?
And lastly, remember. Believe in yourself and your business! Pray about it. If it's meant to be, it will happen.
I hope this has helped… if not. Feel free to leave a comment, and if I can answer your question, I would be more than happy to! :) Please remember. These are just my opinions. This is what has worked for me… *Results not always typical*.
I'm sorry…what were you saying? I was distracted by all the gorgeous fabric photos…just kidding!
Don't forget FaceBook. That is one avenue that I have managed to get more sales – I got a buyer for a lap quilt that is still in the cutting process. BUT make sure you have the right friends.
Wow I am new to your blog, not sure which on I came from because I travel to sooooo many! I placed an order the other day for a camera strap CAN NOT WAIT to get it!!! I am so excited about this post because I just started to sell SCENTSY! So any help in advertising is great! I also have a blog but have not updated it in a long time so helpful I will start to more often!!!!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful tips…I agree with all of them…believe in yourself and what you make, PRAY about it, ads…it really does work to spend a little money to make a little money.
I really want to know more about how you do it all…I have 2.5 year old twins = busy all of the time. So I can't wait for that post.
Inspiring as well! Thank you!
Thanks for this post. It's just what I needed!

Hello again. I know it's been a long time since you've heard from me. Just about five months, to be exact. The last time I posted, I was bemoaning the impossible length of the last weeks of a pregnancy. Well, just days after that post, my pregnancy journey ended and the great adventure of being a mother began. These past four months have been nothing short of amazing. They have also been exhausting, exciting, terrifying, and thrilling, sometimes all in the same moment. Time has flown by, and I cannot believe my tiny little baby is now a chubby, cheerful 4-month-old whose life goal is to sit up alone. On the other hand, it's hard to believe that there was ever a time that he wasn't a part of our lives. Every day is full of new discoveries, new challenges, and new ways to fall in love with a short, fat, bald guy.
Being a parent, especially a new parent, is a major learning experience. Learning how to care for your child, learning what each cry or expression means, learning how to function normally on 2 hours of sleep. For me, it has been more than that though. While I have learned a great deal about my son, I may have learned even more about myself. God has been using my daily (and nightly) experiences as a mother to teach me about my own shortcomings and strengths.
While I'm learning and growing in many areas (patience, planning, time management, multitasking), the central issue that God is working on with me is control. While I can't say that I am always in control of things, I certainly like to feel that I am. I am a planner, a list maker, a spreadsheet-thought-organizer. I like to sort, label, and rearrange. When I found out that I was pregnant, I started planning. Planning the nursery, planning how I would feed my son, what kinds of diapers he would wear, how I would get him to sleep through the night, how I would discipline him once he got older. I researched online, read every book I could get my hands on, spent hours sipping tea with my mommy friends picking their brains. I was ready to have control of the parenting situation.
That planted the seed in my mind that I could lose my baby at any time. I knew so many women who had suffered miscarriages, stillbirths, and birth defects, and my worrying mind started running wild. I asked my sweet husband to reassure me multiple times a day that there was no logical reason to worry. I filled my head with statistics to prove that there was very little chance of anything going wrong with my baby. But it didn't shake the fear. Every symptom that I had or didn't have sent me off to the internet to have my doom sealed. I was banned (by my wise husband) from searching those things anymore. And still the anxiety circled me. I knew it was unlikely that something would go wrong, but things do go wrong, and what was there to assure me that I wasn't one of the 2% of this or 10% of that?
As predicted by my husband and statistics, nothing did go wrong with my pregnancy, and I delivered my beautiful, healthy, all-body-parts-accounted-for little boy on one of the two days I had been crossing my fingers for (though I realized that I had absolutely nothing to do with that). But again, in that process, God was teaching me that I have no control. During my pregnancy, I had spent hours studying and practicing the techniques needed to enable a drug-free birth. For me the idea of the natural-ness of a drug-free birth, combined with the safety net of delivering at the hospital seemed ideal. I would labor at home as long as possible, and then go to the hospital only when I felt that I was getting near the actual birth bit of this process. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, and a good ability to use my mind to control pain, and so I thought it would be a piece of cake. Okay, I thought that I could make it, anyway.
The short version of my very long labor and delivery is that after over 48 hours of contractions, I was still untold hours away from being ready to deliver. My doctor suggested, and I agreed, that I should get the epidural anesthesia and a bit of something called Pitocin to help my labor move along a little faster. If I hadn't received the drugs, I don't know if I would have had the energy to push the baby out when the time came. It was not the "natural" birth I had hoped for, but I could no longer control the pain. Nor could I control the progress of my labor or the timing of my son's birth. Almost exactly 24 hours after we arrived at the hospital, I first saw and held my little boy, and the world around me ceased to exist for a moment. I could try, I could use all kinds of descriptive language, but I still could never explain to you what that moment was like. If you've had a child, I think you can probably imagine it pretty well.
The next day they sent us home, and God decided that it was time to teach me even more about how little I really could (or needed to) control. Before my son was born, I had pretty clear ideas of how I was going to train him to eat and play and sleep with a careful routine that would minimize any negative impact on my own schedule and productivity. I wasn't going to be a schedule freak, but I was going to be very regimented, and my baby was going to be very textbook. Yes, yes, I hear all of you who already have children snickering behind your hands at me. Okay, now I hear you laughing out loud the more you think about the ridiculousness of it all.
Sure, I can try to keep a general pattern of activities throughout the day, I can encourage him to nap when he seems tired, I can give him cues about when it's time to go to sleep or time to play, but I cannot control my child at this point, because I cannot control his needs, and at this point in his life, everything is driven by needs, not by behavioral training. Not to start any arguments about parenting styles, but based on my experience so far, parents who are able to "control" their babies at this age are either being fooled by a baby who naturally does what the parents are wanting (i.e. sleeping through the night), or they have controlled their child's behavior at the expense of some facet of the child's emotional well-being. When my son "decides" that he is hungry earlier than I was expecting, then I feed him. When he wakes up in the middle of the night because he is hungry, because he had a scary dream, or because his tummy is bothering him, I do my best to meet his need. I learned very quickly that we are both happier when I focus more on bonding with my son, learning how he communicates and meeting his needs, rather than trying to make him meet mine.
Not that there aren't times that I get a little frustrated that nothing is getting accomplished because my whole day was spent feeding or soothing a little boy, or that I don't feel exhausted when I've been up three times in the middle of the night feeding or burping or changing him. Not having control is inconvenient. In some circles, being a parent without total control (even of an infant) is not popular. But I'm less stressed when I embrace the fact that I don't have control.
Not having control is also scary at times. Every parent struggles with fears about the health and safety of their children. I suppose it is even worse for first time moms. One example of this for me has been the fear of SIDS. If you have had a baby in the last couple decades, you know that there is an entire litany of rules for reducing the risk of your baby dying suddenly and inexplicably in their sleep. The rules may change a bit over the years, but every mom pays close attention and does her best to avoid the myriad dangers that apparently lurk during sleep. We must not have crib bumpers or blankets or stuffed animals in the crib. We should have our baby close to us and have a fan running to move the air around. The baby should always, always sleep flat on their back (if you let them sleep on their tummy or side, you are just asking for trouble, apparently). With all these warnings, which do indeed have merit, the new mother brings home a baby and, if she's anything like me, becomes a basket case the first time she sets her precious newborn in his bassinet or crib for the first night.
It's not so bad during the day when you walk by and check on them constantly, but at night, when you should supposedly be asleep, you worry that if you sleep for even a moment, your baby will stop breathing and you'll wake up in the morning to your worst nightmare. But the fact is, you can't really control something like SIDS. Now sure, you can follow the precautions that make it much less likely that something would happen to your child in his sleep, but there is a reason that SIDS exists as a cause of death for infants – it is sudden and not explained by any other cause. You can't prevent what can't be diagnosed or determined.
While I still find myself peeking over the edge of the cradle and look for that rise and fall of his little chest when I happen to wake up at night, I've come to realize that there are some things I can't protect my son from, and so no amount of staying awake at night or never leaving his side can ensure his health and safety. In fact, I know that at some points in his life, bad things are going to happen to him, things I cannot prevent. I wish I could, but life doesn't allow me to completely control what does or does not happen to my child. The best I can do is use common sense to prevent the "bad stuff" that I can, and trust God for the rest.
And there we come to my biggest area of fear and lack of control. Ah, that trusting God with "the rest". Like I said earlier a couple of times, bad things are going to happen. To all of us. Some things may seem worse than others, but none of us are immune. The risks for those really disastrous things may be statistically small, but if you're the person they happen to, the statistics mean nothing. And that is where fear continues to try to get a new grip on me: something terrible is not likely to happen to me, but I cannot guarantee that it won't. I can't use the Christian/spiritual cop-out of "It will be okay; God is in control," because while God is in control, I might still suffer tragedy. The real answer is that bad things are going to happen to all of us, but because God is in control, we can survive the tragedies and struggles of life, and we have the promise that something good will come out of our suffering. I don't know what lies ahead for me or for my son, and I cannot control much of it, but I can trust and have a relationship with the one who does know and control the future.

Otter Point resident Barrie Hanslip picks through what is left of her barn after a series of mysterious tremors.
A barn on the 4000 block of Otter Point Road collapsed after a series of unexplained tremors rumbled through the region on Thursday, March 15.
Barrie Hanslip, owner of the 35-acre property where the barn was located, said the steepled barn tumbled down after a large "boom" and rumble at 11:30 a.m. The powerful tremor was preceded by two smaller shakes around 9 a.m.
Alison Bird, seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, said there were no earthquakes in the region during that time. She received a number of calls from other residents who reported shaking.
Concerned residents have been commenting on the unknown tremors on the Discover Sooke Facebook page since January 2012.
According to resident reports, previous rumbles were felt around Saseenos, East Sooke, Whiffin Spit and Otter Point.
