SCOTUS Hears Arguments on OSHA's Vaccine-or-Test ETS
by Alexandra Miller
COVID-19, ETS, OSHA, SCOTUS, Supreme Court, Vaccine Mandate
On Friday, January 7, 2022 the Supreme Court held oral arguments to address OSHA's Emergency Temporary Standard related to COVID-19. The two-hour long arguments were intense and revealed a sharply divided court with the conservative justices questioning OSHA's authority, and the more liberal justices voicing their concerns about the Pandemic.
Justices Roberts and Gorsuch indicated their beliefs that states and/or Congress were better suited to deal with COVID workplace rules (rather than a federal agency). Justice Barrett similarly indicated her belief that the ETS may be too broad. The three more liberal justices made clear they felt the mandate is necessary, especially in light of the increasing numbers of COVID-19 infections due to the Omicron variant. Justice Alito suggested an administrative stay to allow the Court further time to consider the questions before it.
The answer to what—and when—the Court may rule is difficult to predict, although there was some discussion of the deadlines and the need for a quick decision. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will update you as soon as a decision is handed down or any other indication as the potential outcome becomes more clear.

Are You Suffering From Decision Fatigue? (Plus What to Do About It)
The world is a maelstrom of choices. From smartphones (iPhone or Android?), diets (Primal or Paleo or vegan?), cars (electric or gasoline, SUV or sedan?), health plans (PPO, HMO, or health savings account?), to entertainment (TV or Twitter or YouTube or Xbox or Netflix), we've never had more options from which to choose. This is supposed to be a good thing. It's supposed to be liberating. Having more options is supposed to help us make better decisions. But in reality, something called decision fatigue gets in the way.
A recent study examining the factors determining the outcome of parole hearings illustrates this concept. All the things you'd imagine determined a parole decision — the nature of the crime, history of the criminal, laws broken — had little to no impact on the outcome of the hearing. The likelihood that a criminal received parole depended primarily on one variable: the time of day the hearing was held. Early morning hearings were more likely to decide in favor of the criminal. Hearings held just before lunch were more likely to decide against parole. Immediately after lunch, it switched back: the judges were more likely to grant parole. As late afternoon approached, they again grew more likely to deny parole. What gives?
The judges were burning through their "decision capacity." Making decisions is like using a muscle; you get fatigued. Granting parole is a harder decision because it takes more brainpower. If your decision muscles are exhausted, it's easier (and safer) to assume guilt than it is to assess the evidence, make an informed decision about a potential parolee, and risk releasing someone who could commit another crime. As the judges accumulated decision fatigue, the easy, safe decision grew more and more attractive.
Another study found that decision-making degrades self-control and saps willpower. When subjects were forced to make a series of minor decisions about consumer goods ("Do you prefer the red shirt or the black shirt?"), they only lasted 28 seconds in a classic test of self-control: holding your hand in ice water for as long as you can. Subjects who made no decisions lasted over a minute.
Consider what this means for you. You get up in the morning, brush your teeth, wash your face, trudge to the kitchen for something warm and stimulating to drink, and find yourself awash in decisions that must be made.
Coffee or tea? Coffee.
Single-origin microlot Guatemalan light roast or organic instant French roast? Single origin.
French press or Chemex pour over? French press.
Bulletproof coffee, Primal egg coffee, black, or heavy cream? And so it goes. By the time we decide what to wear, which route to take the dogs on their morning walk, whether to eat breakfast, what to eat for breakfast, whether to bike or drive to the office, whether to dive right into work email or mess around on Facebook, where to go for lunch, we're exhausted. And by the end of the day, we're making poorer choices. The cookies at the checkout line are harder to resist. Take-out sounds better than cooking dinner. Vegging out in front of the TV beats Scrabble with the spouse. If we get around to working out, we probably won't go as hard or last as long. The infinite freedom of endless options has degraded our ability to make good decisions and exercise self-control.
All those choices can also paralyze us, preventing us from even making a decision. A classic study from Columbia University gave upscale grocery store customers the opportunity to sample gourmet jams from one of two rotating displays: a booth featuring 24 different jams and one featuring just six. The larger display was more enticing, attracting 60% of passers-by, while the smaller booth brought in 40%. On average, customers who stopped sampled two jams, regardless of the size of the display, and every person received a coupon for a dollar off a jam purchase.
But when the time came to make a purchase, just 3% of the customers at the booth with 24 jams actually bought one, while 30% of the customers who'd visited the smaller display bought jam. Having two dozen jams to choose from might have looked and sounded great, but all those options were debilitating. The more options they had, the less likely they were to choose one.
I've got a friend, a desk jockey type, who got tired of being really overweight, tired all the time, and unable to move freely without discomfort. He went Primal, bought the books, and lost the weight. He feels better than he has in years. But here's the thing: he can't cook. He achieved his transformation entirely with boiled eggs, Primal Fuel, and prepared Primal-friendly foods. It's not a sustainable way of going Primal and he knew it. So he decides he's going to learn to cook – to fend for himself. He scours the blogs to determine the best cookware, the best kitchen gadgets, the essential spices, and anything else pertaining to cooking Primal fare.
After a month of research, his Amazon cart has hundreds of items. Several different pressure cookers, three types of roasting pans, frying pans, mason jars, you name it. Everything a home cook could ever want or need. Every product ever mentioned on Nom Nom Paleo. Enough to supply a commercial kitchen several times over.
Two months later, I ask him how his new lifestyle's going. What's his favorite dish to cook? What kind of cast iron skillet did he spring for? I can't wait to see his progress, and maybe even taste it. Turns out his Amazon cart is still full. He's made no purchases. He's paralyzed by analysis of the myriad options.
A month later, he's finally made the purchases and his kitchen is stocked, but he's stuck on another set of choices. What cookbook to buy? Which brand of pastured chicken is best? Should he roast the chicken with high heat or braise it at a lower, gentler temperature? It never ends.
His is an extreme example, but it's a real one, and it illustrates the point made in the Columbia study.
That's one reason people find the Primal Blueprint to be so powerful: it automates certain aspects of your life. It's a framework for making decisions, so the deliberation time is reduced or even eliminated. You no longer have to waste time and cognitive capacity on daily decisions (what to eat, whether to exercise, how much sleep to get) because that's been laid out. You avoid paralysis because there are fewer choices, and many of them have already been made for you. There's wiggle room for personal variability, of course, and you're free to geek out on the minutiae, but the big picture items are covered.
For every decision we make about health, lifestyle, sleep, training, food, the Primal Blueprint provides a frame of reference. We're not starting from ground zero. Instead of agonizing over that package of cookies by the register, you don't even consider buying them because they're made of grains, refined sugar, and processed seed oils. You don't even have to really think about it.
That said, it's just a framework. It doesn't solve everything, and if you feel like you're suffering from too many decisions and you're making bad choices on the decisions that really impact your life (work, relationships, health), I've got a few suggestions that may help.
Make rules for yourself. Stick to them.
Rules help because they eliminate decision making. Rules like eat 60 grams of carbs or less per day, eliminate all refined sugar, stop eating fast food and soda, or eat 50 grams of protein every meal are effective for weight loss not only because they improve your metabolic health but because they automate your diet. A few rare birds even do well by setting ironclad calorie limits (1600 calories a day) and sticking to them no matter what. If you have no more calories left for the day, you "can't" eat dessert. There's no decision to make.
Automate.
Deciding what color of sock to wear in the morning when you're rushed and you have a full day of momentous decisions ahead of you is a waste of time. Lots of fairly successful people wear or wore, for example, the same thing every day to eliminate unnecessary decision-making. Steve Jobs and his black turtlenecks. Barack Obama and his suit(s). Mark Zuckerberg's T-shirt and hoodie. This is harder to pull off when you're not a billionaire CEO or leader of the free world, but you can still automate parts of your life. Like:
Breakfast: Know what you're going to eat for breakfast every morning. Even better, eat the same thing every day.
Clothing: Plan what you're going to wear the night before.
Morning routine: A powerful benefit to morning routines (that I didn't mention last week) is their ability to streamline your day. Rather than rushing around in a frenzy first thing in the morning, making decisions (often rashly) and using up a ton of your decision capacity, you spend the first part of your day in a beautiful decision-free state.
Plan meals for the week.
If deciding what to cook is a stressful choice, don't wait to the end of the day to hit the grocery store and wing it. Every Sunday (or whatever day you consider to be the start of the week), figure out what you're going to eat, and when. Decide all at once, so it's one decision rather than many.
Heck, if you can swing it, actually cooking meals ahead of time can further reduce the amount of brain power you devote to food.
Narrow your choices.
We waste a lot of time eliminating choices that we were never really going to consider in the first place. One of the worst experiences is killing time trying to decide where to go out to eat. You hop on Yelp, use an asinine search term like "food" or "restaurant," type in your ZIP code, and get dozens of results — none of them satisfactory. You spend unnecessary decision points winnowing the results down to something you actually want to eat. Instead, figure out what cuisine you want before searching.
Remove your choices.
If you want to workout more often but have trouble actually deciding to do it, hire a trainer or get a workout buddy. When you have a responsibility to someone else, or your hard-earned money is at stake, you'll be obligated to attend and the decision will be made for you.
Make the most important decisions early in the day.
Those decisions you've been failing at lately? Handle them earlier, when your decision muscles are well-rested. This could mean grocery shopping in the morning instead of after work.
Flip a coin.
You know those agonizing decisions that don't even really matter, like whether to buy collard greens or kale for dinner tonight? Those decisions where you fully admit that either choice would be perfectly adequate, yet you still can't pull the trigger? When you find yourself in this situation, deliberating over errata, just flip a coin. Literally: take a coin out, assign values, and flip it.
The perfect choice doesn't exist. The idea that it does exist is the enemy of even approaching perfection. Good is good enough.
Avoiding decision fatigue and decision paralysis aren't just important for making better choices, being more productive, and "winning" at life. They're also crucial for simply being happy, reducing stress, and removing mental clutter. One of the sharpest double-edged blades of being human is our ability to think about thinking, to analyze and over-analyze, to weigh the pros and cons and be weighed down by them. If we can eliminate any extraneous decision-making and analysis by planning, routine, automation, and maybe even relinquishing a little control, I think it's a good idea to do so.

SO45 has donated £7,000 to the new venture and I (Val Freeman) as centre manager would like to thank Michael & Donna for organising the golf day at Dibden Golf Club and for all their loyal support since the centre opened its doors in 2010. It's an amazing donation that has allowed us to start the extension and offer so much hope for many of our community that is suffering from a cancer diagnosis. The new cancer support centre which will open in 2015 will be a great asset to the community. It's thanks to fundraising events like this we have been able to extend the services we offer. We couldn't have achieved this without them"
We would like to pass on a huge, massive thank you to all that played, Paul Smith & Ellie Preston at Dibden Golf Course, all the SO45 Online, Hole and Prize sponsors and for all the generous raffle prizes donated, Cathy Bartlett for her help and to everyone that purchased raffle and auction prizes, superstars everyone of you.
We will soon announce next year's event date.
It's a pleasure to be able to support such a great local cause and in helping the proposed building extension down at the Grove finally get out of the ground.
To Val and all your team please keep up the good work.
Thanks again everyone involved
Michael, Donna & The SO45 Online Team
PS – Don't forget to buy your SO45 Online Community Giving Lottery tickets from December 1st!!!


We have a player stuck in ''recovery in progress'' screen.
Reboot and factory default did not change anything.
Hi Alexander, this is a known issue that can occur for a couple different reasons. I'd suggest contacting Harman Pro Tech Support for this.

Book review: Dream State, Kindle Edition, by K.Z. Howell
Dream State by K.Z. Howell, Kindle Edition
K.Z. Howell's description:
Professor August Bench is asked by the National Security Agency to research the abilities of Edgar Cayce and develop a method of duplicating the Sleeping Prophets amazing powers after 9-11.
How could he say no?
But what he finds is so much more.
His discovery of the power that lies in the Dream State is so dangerous that he and his assistant, Will Grant, must hide the truth where no one will ever find it.
The NSA is persistent. They hire a protégé of Professor Bench to keep the Dream State program alive and working towards a world without secrets.
Dr. Kendra Mills, a brilliant computer scientist finds a way to duplicate the Dream State's power in a machine, but she needs the minds of the original Dreamers to complete the tyrannical device.
She will stop at nothing to achieve her goal.
Even if it costs the young Dreamers their lives!
Get Dream State from Amazon!
What can I say. Dreams, love 'em. That's where it's at! And K.Z. Howell does a fantastic job in detailing such an enthralling possibility. It's obvious he knows what he's talking about. Begin with four 'lucid-dreaming' friends involved in an attempt to recreate experiments long since terminated. Three of the four college students are found to be 'special.' They dive headlong into possibility while the fourth, Will, assists the professor. And the results of their experiments achieve wonders. Beyond expectations, the team manages to succeed in something potent, powerful, too powerful! So much so, it's decided by the professor that this power should not be unleashed. If this landed in the wrong hands, any hands, the ramifications would be disastrous on a global scale. And reluctantly, Will, once excited by the possibilities, finally cedes. The professor is right, for what Will's three friends can do while within the 'Dream State,' should not be sanctioned. So they scrap the program, life goes on, years pass.
And then 'someone' decides to resume the project. About halfway into K.Z.'s novel, after clever and colorful character development, an order is given. The four friends, having had remained in touch with one another, yet living in different parts of the country, face encroaching, ominous, you-run-your-butt-off consequences. The pace goes from a highly revved second gear, to pedal to the metal and through every other. By a seemingly sinister desire for power, 'she's' back—and she must have power. THE POWER. But at what cost?
What follows is action scene after another after another. This is where Dream State excels. High octane, down-to-earth people with their extraordinary talents, meet with a clash that'll send your jaw to the floor. I hadn't expected what came next! Dream State is like two books in one, and while I can see things are set up well for a fiery, payback, world-altering sequel, this story has a bit of just about everything.
Daring escapes—with special insights no others have the capability to access—and murder, unexpected consequences and hiding out from the big-bad, stop-at-nothing NSA agents. Love made, loves lost, and steamy sexy hell—on mind-warping drugs. Payback unimaginable, torturous, so much so I even sided with her, the maleficent antagonist. It was bad…whoa! A roller coaster speeding up, rocket thrusters pushing it, with an ending that sends—as the author so describes it—a ball of ice straight into the gut!
Five stars because I love sci-fi action, and dreaming. I've studied lucid dreaming for over a decade and this story was right up my alley. An original, unexpected nightmare. This one kept me on my tiptoes half of the time, crushing my chair's armrests for the other half.
Can they escape? Who will make it, who won't? I won't say—but you won't guess! My favorite parts of K.Z. Howell's Dream State came at about 50% in, and then after about 75% in things really kick in. Lucid-dreaming dynamo. Dream State is one unfortunate turn of events after another, a leg-chopping crash, blood-raining from the sky. An all-out dash for freedom. Will anyone survive this? I didn't see it coming. And by the look on the new director's face, he didn't either!
Head on over to Amazon and check out my review of K.Z. Howell's, Dream State, Kindle Edition

Quite a coincidence you should post now, 'cause I was gonna post another to you. I just (within the past five minutes) finished 'em all.
Scores of thanks, again, sneaker.
I've been trying to get a bittorrent set up for this, but I haven't quite been able to figure out how it's done. Figure that'd be the best way to do it, since i can leave my computer on for days at a time.
I noticed, it was the one I was rather mad about because I thought they had taken it and changed the filenames without so much as a thank you to me. I didn't see a txt file when I downloaded; I'll check again.
Well, I downloaded it myself, and I'm now seeding it. It's far easier than creating my new torrent, I'll say that ;) And yes, they did credit me, though I wish they'd done it in the comment for the torrent before downloading. Nevertheless, I apologize for being angry, since I had nothing to be angry about.
And let bittorrent work its magic. I'm seeding it as we speak, so you'll get some halfdecent speeds.
Tis all in all a fantastic pice of work, it surely is.
"My God - you're like a trained ape. Without the training."
Enjoy, folks! I'm still seeding, so start downloading while you can.
Any way you can pull some mp3's from the trailers?
I'm desperate for a "If I'm wrong you best shoot me now, or we could talk" to set as a ringtone.
Nathan sat next to me.
I don't have the program I used, but I'm trying to find it again... so I'll see what I can do.
Hey, first of all, you rock Sneaker98! The MP3's are awesome. I can't get them downloaded on BitTorrent though, and was wondering if you could send them to me in a .zip file?
Hey, I've been looking for a soundtrack of the show and was overjoyed when I found it here but the site is down now or something, but the point is I couldn't download any of the songs which is making me incredible sad and I just wanted to let someone know and hopefully get it back working so I can get them ASAP. PPPLLLLEAAASSEEE, I'd appreciate it. Them being so close but so far is torture.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with til' you understand whose in ruttin' command here.
I tryed all the torrent links in this thread, and that site... I'm assuming it's down. Anyone have these that could email them to me, or torrent them, or tell me how you made them?
I would love whoever sends me a zip of all those songs for the remainder of their lives. No joke. I've been itching for the acoustic guitar and that is used so well in the show. So if anyone has them all in a zip, please let me know, my email is irish_wind37@yahoo.com. Thank you much.
"You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with til' you understand who's in ruttin' command here."
Here are the MP3 files in 320 kb/s format.
You might want to check them.
Even the theme was in 128kb/s.
I downloaded it because I thought it'd replace my near-perfect 256kb/s file.
"Hey, support it best you can! I believe supporting this as far as we can will get Serenity restarted. Right now seems VERY "Out Of Gas", and the Fans are Mal. We need to get her running to get the Big Damn Button pushed."
"I don't care what you believe in! Just BELIEVE!"
Much obliged! These are grat, I was waitin on some War Story sounds!
"This is something the Captain need to take care of himself."
Which (if any) of the mp3s has Wash's "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" exchange between his dinosaurs???
Then what does Congress mean?
These Mp3's are music, not quotes. I was originally planning to record funny moments such as the toy dinosaurs, but I figured they'd lose their charm after hearing them umpteen times.
As for the quality, I think the first few I made (such as the theme) were 128, until I found a good way to optimize through the program. Check the ones from Objects in Space, they should be 320. Bear in mind, this was a long time ago that I made these, so my memory is fuzzy. I know for a fact that SerWin.mp3 is the highest quality I could get on the Lame codec (which is 320), because it's my favourite.
As an added note, the people who can tell the difference in 128 or greater mp3 quality are very few and far between. Most of the time, it's your brain convincing you that bigger file size is better ;) Lame does a pretty good job with 128 mp3's.
Zol - I'll post up those Mp3's on my site.
I just found out about these files from a friend when I was talking about Firefly with him, is there any way people could seed the torrent again? If not, I could download them file by file, but the torrent would be much quicker.
I'd appreciate it greatly if anyone did, thanks a bunch.
anyone have Serenity movie quotes yet?
'Might have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.
I know this was a loooong time ago... but has anyone found this torrent lately?
And you can find links to download a bunch of different mp3 firefilks at the sound section of Fashionably Brown.
I'm actually still around, folks.
If there's a desire for these, I think I can put these on my own personal server for download by you. It has fairly decent uptime for a residential location.
I'm not even sure wether the old server these used to be on is still online.
Stan: So it was like a car hitting a cow then a wall.
Yes! Please repost these! Pleeease!
Are they up again Sneaker? I get the quicktime logo when I click the links in the OP but no sound.
Thanks a million for doing this, you're a hero!
Alrighty folks, the link for them now leads to my personal server, which is actually sitting in the closet just behind me.
Give them a try, I hope you like 'em.
Oh, and I think I'll add a zip file, so you can just download the whole set.
Thank you so much! Sneaker, you are a god!
I don't care what you believe in...Just Believe!
Sorry about the downtime, folks. I didn't realize the files weren't in the right directory on my server!
They're all now available for your listening pleasure. And the reason I keep them available is because only a couple tracks were released on the CD (which I purchased and love!) - some of the best stuff is still on the DVD only.
Thank you so much, sneaker98. I recently became a huge Flan and have been checking for more complete soundtracks of the series and movie. After finding a barely seeded Firefly(complete score) torrent, I finally ended up here. It's an amazing collection.
Djspop, do you know what the track was? I don't have a copy of it anywhere, and I don't recall an episode of Firefly where the end theme was shortened.
Course, it has been a while since I made these. 8 years?!? Holy hell.
You should try downloading on a 28.8 connection.
But it was, oh so worth it!
Another thank you is in order!
In case anyone's been looking to download these, they're back online after a brief hiatus. My server's hard drive decided that it no longer wanted to live anymore.
28.8? If I may quote an unknown Alliance drone: "Do they still make those?"
Good to see you still around, Sneaker98!
And l once again, thank you!
Hi folks, just wanted to tell you all that my connection was recently upgraded, so you should all have an easier time listening to the music.
Coming up on ten years I've hosted these files, and I don't plan to stop anytime soon. Enjoy!
First time I have seen this thread. Nice job and thanks for all your hard work.


We have a premium range of promotional first aid kits with your logo or message custom branded. These are a fantastic gift for staff, or clients in the emergency sector, rescue or industrial services. Also corporate firms and agencies can give them to staff or as part of a broader marketing campaign. People will keep these great little first aid kits in their cars, in the kitchen cupboard, or carry them during camping or hiking. They look awesome with your logo so don't wait any longer! Browse our designs and request a quote today.
Every home and vehicle need a first aid kit. In the event of an emergency, individuals will greatly appreciate having these medical supplies on hand. Whether the injury is minor or severe, the presence of the kit helps to reduce the risk of infection and possibly the severity. This is only one of the many reasons a person will benefit from a kit of this type, and businesses find they can increase their brand reach by offering clients, employees and suppliers a branded first aid kit. Following are other reasons a kit of this type will be greatly appreciated.
In an emergency, time is of the essence. Having all supplies in one location allows a person to provide the help that is needed promptly. Be sure every person in the home and each person that regularly rides in a vehicle knows where to find this kit and how to use the supplies inside. This likewise allows help to be provided in a timely manner.
Safety needs to come first always. When a company chooses to offer branded survival kits to their clients and employees, they show that they understand this and make it a priority. It demonstrates the values of the company, which is very important now that online shopping has increased in popularity. People want to know who they are doing business with and what they believe, and this custom imprint kit provides that information.
A person, when out and about, may not be close to a medical facility. At times, the person is traveling and isn't familiar with medical centers in the area. In the event of an emergency, every minute may count. The first aid kit provides a stopgap measure until medical care can be obtained, although it should never be used in the place of professional care when the injury is serious. The added time is often enough to allow the individual to obtain the help he or she needs to deal with the medical situation.
First aid kits tend to cost less than their individual components when purchased separately. This also provides information to a consumer that they may find important. When a company saves money on an item such as this, the customer sees that they put value at the top of their list of priorities and that getting value for their money is important. The customer appreciates this, as the savings can then be passed on to the consumer. This helps to increase the brand's reputation in the eyes of the public.
When all items are kept in a kit of this type, a person can grab it and go. There is no need to search for items to carry in a backpack for a hike, load up for a camping trip or take for a family day at an amusement park. Simply grab the kit and head out the door for the next adventure. Recipients of the promotional first aid kit appreciate having everything conveniently organized, and the provider of the kit benefits as it provides free advertising every time the kit is pulled out and used.
Companies find they can choose the kit that best meets the needs of those they will be providing this item to. Some companies choose to provide a pocket kit with a few essentials, including an iodine wipe and adhesive bandages. Others want to ensure the recipients have everything they need in this kit and choose a more comprehensive one, a kit that includes items such as tweezers, an emergency blanket and vinyl gloves. The ability to customize the case ensures every business looking to provide a kit of this type in Canada will be able to get exactly what they require.
Promotional items are frequently given away by companies. As people tend to be inundated with these products, they pay less attention to them. However, by providing an item that every individual can benefit from, a company will find they distinguish themselves from competitors. Consider investing in promotional first aid kits for your clients, employees and suppliers. The return on investment easily outweighs the initial money spent on purchasing these products.


Men's events once or twice each term at a weekend include an activity, food and Bible content to equip and encourage Christian men. The programme includes events like a bike ride and BBQ with a talk on "the Christian Race", punting and cake with a talk on "self control", a men's breakfast and a curry. Click here for the current programme.
Church prayer meetings are our first priority. Church news is shared here first, and we pray for the month ahead. We meet from 7pm for a meal, and pray from 7.45-9.15pm on the first Tuesday of each month except August. Most church members are also linked to a smaller group for Bible discussion, prayer and support. Home groups meet around the city most Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. Roots for young adults begins with a meal in the church hall on Tuesday evenings, then small groups dig into the Bible. Optional donation for food. Please contact us to try a group.


Ladies shouldn't have all the fun when it comes to beauty products. After all, there are some awesome products out there marketed specifically to the specific needs of men. There are a handful of quarterly or monthly boxes for men to discover new products. Box of Handsome by Urban Cargo is one of them.
It should come as no surprise that most men's beauty boxes focus their samples around shave, skin and hair. Upon ordering the Box of Handsome, you will be asked to fill out a Grooming Profile. This will be used each quarter to curate 3 to 5 high-end samples that match your (or your man's) style preferences and skin type. In addition to samples ranging from shaving creams to anti-aging products, a $5 store credit is also included with each quarterly shipment. Featured brands include Alchimie, Clinique Men, New York Shaving Company, John Master's Organics and more.
There are not many reviews out there right now. This program only launched August 2012. These are quality, high-end brands, but I cannot vouch for sample sizes or overall box value. I am a little apprehensive due to the price point compared to the photos featured on the site. While sample boxes for men are usually at a higher price point than many of the women's options, they also tend to have a much higher retail value. Yes, we pay $20 per month for Birchbox Man. However, there are usually lifestyle bonuses and larger samples included. Urban Cargo may be one we have to try for ourselves a few months down the road.
The price tag on this one is $17.95 per quarter. Boxes ship January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15. To receive the next Box of Handsome, your order needs to be placed at least two weeks prior to the shipping date. Use coupon code FREE to get free shipping.

This blog post describes the way to prepare a small lab in virtual environment intended for TripleO (Director) OpenStack deployment tool learning. This is a quick instruction. For deep understanding and command exploration use documentation.
I used my home laptop with 16 Gb of memory and CentOS 7.3 on the top of it for the lab environment hardware and RHEL 7.3 and RHOPS 10 for virtual machines, but these instructions should be applicable for RDO OpenStack distribution with minor changes.
Control VM with 6Gb of memory for all OpenStack services.
Director should work with managed VMs as they bare metal servers. Virtual BMC can be useful here. VirtualBMC is a small software that allows users to create a virtual BMC to manage a virtual machines using the IPMI protocol, similar to how real bare metal machines are managed.
In this example you created and started BMCs that will be available on 7001 and 7002 ports of visualization host. For both of them password is openstack and user name is admin.
The same should work for the control VM with the only exception of port 7002. The rest part of the installation of Undercloud VM should be done in accordance with the documentation.
The director requires a node definition template, which you create manually. This file contains the hardware and power management details for your nodes. I have two nodes with known IPMI details. Also you need to add MAC addresses of VMs NIC for PXE booting.
This process causes each node to boot an introspection agent over PXE. This agent collects hardware data from the node and sends it back to the director.
Now everything is ready to start the configuration and installation of overcloud.

Q: Running a script with assets inside automator application So, I'm trying to write an automator application that runs a simple script.
python Contents/main.py

where Contents is the contents of the .app.
When the script is run it is run in ~ not in the working directory (wherever the file is placed on a system).
Is there a way to do this?
Note: I am not taking any input to the application, you just double click it.
Thanks,
Harry

A: You can get the path to Your executable from ps command. You need to know Your app name. Here's my code with EchoPath.app made in Automator:
DIR=`ps x | grep EchoPath | grep -v grep | cut -c 28- `

Sample output:
/Users/slozo/Desktop/EchoPath.app/Contents/MacOS/Application Stub

Application Stub is the default name of the executable created in Automator. Knowing this path You can get the path to Contents dir with dirname command.

Full line up of Yorkshire Wildlife Park's Safari Nights unveiled
A sizzling summer of entertainment is hotting up at Yorkshire Wildlife Park as the full line up of its magical Safari Nights is finally unveiled.
Music will fill the air and visitors can enjoy jugglers, magicians and fun workshops at the innovative multi-award winning park.
TV presenter Michaela Strachan is also returning to YWP for another instalment of her Really Wild Show.
The ever popular Safari Nights- running every Saturday during the Summer - provide a unique opportunity to see some of the world's rarest and most at risk animals after hours while enjoying top tribute acts, local artists as well as a bangless fireworks finale.
"I really feel Summer is here when we confirm the dates and line-ups for the entertainment," said YWP Director Cheryl Williams. "The atmosphere is always brilliant at these nights."
This Summer's guests include One Direction, Take That and Abba tribute bands, who will be joined by X-Factor finalist Jake Quickenden and Britain's Got Talent violinist Alexandra Parker.
There will also be live acoustic rock and soul sessions in The Courtyard between 4pm and 8pm every Safari Night.
Meanwhile, at the same time children will be able to practice magic and have fun with jugglers and entertainers.
Then at 8pm the headliners take to the stage with each evening completed with a spectacular bangless fireworks display accompanied by Britain's Got Talent violinist Alexandra Parker on every night but the last one.
Fans are already counting down to the first Safari Night on July 25 when the Only One Direction tribute act, who have played to over 250,000 fans worldwide, promise an amazing start to the series of evenings.
Abba Revival - who topped the National Tribute Awards in 2013 - are the stars on August 1.
The weekend of August 8 & 9 is a bumper attraction with Michaela Strachan at the park, at Branton, on both days and Take That Live! the headline on the Saturday night.
The top acts keep rolling with X-Factor singer and I'm a Celebrity contestant Jake Quickenden, from Scunthorpe, performing on Saturday, August 15.
Its another dose of Swedish tribute fun from Forever Abba who star on Saturday, August 22, with Jake Quickenden making a popular return on Saturday, August 29, with extra music from Elaine Huckle replacing Alexandra Parker during the fireworks.
"It is a fantastic line up and everyone gets in the summer spirit at Safari Nights," added Ms Williams. "They are great because they offer fun for all the family and who doesn't like singing along to Abba or Take That?"
YWP gives a unique walk through experience bringing them almost face to face with some of the world's most rare animals, including Amur Leopards, Giraffes, Painted Hunting Dogs along with Lions, Lemurs and Meerkats.
YWP's three new Amur Tiger cubs, born on March 29 and a significant step forward in the conservation of the species, are currently thrilling visitors when they step put into public while Polar Bears Victor and Pixel are enjoying their first Summer together at the ten acre Project Polar.
Whatever the weather there is something to do at YWP. There is the Safari Village shopping centre and café, which can be accessed without having to enter the park.
Then the weatherproof Monkey Play barn is the perfect place to warm up or stay out of the sun in the 120-seater eatery.
Adults can relax whilst the children enjoy three levels of play equipment, including climbing frames, dens, slides and rope bridges in full view of the baboon reserve through the glass walls.

Is there a demand for the massive amount of space Electric Works would create? Yes, new study suggests
Kevin Leininger
kleininger@news-sentinel.com
Better late than never, a proposed development agreement shows the path to completion of the Electric Works project. (Courtesy image)
Jeff Kingsbury, Kevan Biggs and Josh Parker of RTM Ventures explain their plans for Electric Works at a recent Allen County Council meeting. (File photo by Kevin Leininger of News-Sentinel.com)
With a decision on $65 million in local public funding moving closer by the day, a new study indicates strong demand for the sort of office, residential and commercial space Electric Works would create.
"Is the (Fort Wayne) market big enough to absorb this amount of space? Is the proposed level of pricing reasonable for the market? Does adaptive reuse (of the former General Electric campus) open up a market?" the analysis by Maryland-based RCLCO asked before answering "yes" to all three questions.
The Capital Improvement Board, which oversees the county food and beverage tax and will be asked to provide much of the local funding, proposed such a study in February. But the RCLSO analysis released Thursday was in fact commissioned and funded by Electric Works developer RTM Ventures at the request of the project's lenders, RTM partner Jeff Kingsbury said. The CIB had input in planning the study and will review its conclusions, however, he added.
Electric Works' $220 million phase one will include 10 buildings and 224,000 square feet of offices, 113,000 square feet of research/education space, 83,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space, 83,000 square feet of innovation space, 82,000 square feet for apartments and 31,000 square feet of recreational space. Some have expressed doubts so much room could be filled, especially without luring tenants from other local locations. But Kingsbury said RCLCO's analysis suggests otherwise.
"It's no surprise to us. We did our homework two years ago (before getting involved)," he said. "What we found encouraging was how bullish they are on the Fort Wayne region."
"There exists a strong opportunity for new urban development in Fort Wayne as the perceptions about its downtown continue to evolve and as its employment and population bases continue to expand . . . Downtown Fort Wayne outpaced the region as a whole in terms of household growth following a decade of decline between 2000 and 2010. Couple with the younger ages of people living downtown, this trend points to a renewed interest in urban living, likely attributable to young professionals wanting to live near their place of work . . . Central Fort Wayne is well-positioned to capture future office demand and population growth, given that its employment composition favors growing sectors that are attractive to younger, more educated workers," " the study noted.
Most downtown office buildings are well-occupied, generally charging between $16 and $20 per square foot, the study reported. Given the lack of new office space downtown, Electric Works could charge $25 per square foot for office space despite its location on the edge of downtown "given the unique positioning and historic character of the site" and other features.
Although several new residential developments have opened downtown in recent years and more are nearly completed or planned, RCLCO suggests there will be an annual demand for between 625 and 675 new apartments in the Fort Wayne area, with 20 percent of that demand downtown. The study suggests 94 apartments in phase one would be able to charge rent of between $875 and $2,000 per month.
Public support is essential, developers have insisted, in order to keep the project's rents affordable in the Fort Wayne market.
As for retail demand, "residents of downtown are most likely to commute outwards for household-supporting uses, such as grocery stores, pharmacies (and) general merchandise stores," the report stated. "As additional household growth occurs downtown there are more likely to be opportunities to introduce these types of retail . . . coupled with the current lack of retail space downtown, the accessibility from Broadway and unique character of the project make Electric Works a strong location for future retail." There is a demand for between 100,000 and 115,000 square feet at Electric Works, supporting rents of about $15 per square foot.
RCLCO also studied the impact of similar projects elsewhere, including Bakery Square in Pittsburgh, Harbor Point in Stamford, Conn., and Grandview Yard in Columbus, Ohio. Like Electric Works, Grandview is adjacent to railroad tracks that had been considered a barrier but have not impeded redevelopment, Kingsbury said.
Despite the general optimism of the report, however, RCLCO notes its conclusions are based on current statistics and assumptions an that "stable and moderate growth patterns are historically not sustainable over extended periods of time . . . it is very difficult to predict when an economic and real estate upturn will end."
The RCLCO analysis does not address other factors such as economic impact, job creation and taxes generated that were subjects of a previous report by Novogradac & Co., but Kingsbury said those numbers are being updated, too.
Taken together, he added, the reports should help convince doubters Fort Wayne really can support a project of Electric Works' cost and scope.

How to Get Dark Mode for WhatsApp Desktop
Dark, dark, and dark… Everywhere you see, some manufacturer is releasing a dark mode for its phone or developers are giving users to switch between white and dark mode. That's the growing trend in technology now. Some think it is hyped while some talk about its benefits. There are tonnes of people who prefer dark mode, so much so that if a particular app doesn't have it, they don't install it.
Whatever it is, the trend has sky-rocketed. Even Apple has joined the party, albeit a bit late. Samsung in its One UI opted for a system-wide dark mode and gave its own term – 'Night Mode.' The shocking part is that it was the only manufacturer to do so. And like the trend of the vanishing 3.5mm jack, everybody is opting for a dark mode. Google has included a system-wide dark mode in its newest Android 10 OS, while Apple introduced it in iOS 13. Google has also been independently updating its app with a simple toggle. It seems everyone is jumping on the dark mode bandwagon.
Well, almost everyone. Facebook has transformed its Messenger app into the dark mode and it can be toggled back to the light or white mode. But, Facebook-owned WhatsApp is so late to the party that is will surely miss the fun. The official Andriod and iOS apps are still behind when it comes to toggling an eye-pleasing dark mode. But developers will definitely take advantage of this. Although we hoped to see a workaround for the mobile apps, there is one for WhatsApp Desktop. Github has managed to upload the file for the public and I must say, it is really a great option.
Keep in mind that this process doesn't require any complicated process. You just need to install two apps separately, which is safe. Also, the script that enables the dark mode in desktop won't work with Microsoft store or app store version of WhatsApp desktop. Also, the workaround works for both, Mac and Windows. Rest assured, you will love this hack. So, jump right in!
Step 1: Download WhatsApp Desktop from the official site.
Remember, do not download it from Windows or App Store.
Step 2: Click on the download button. Go to the Downloads page (Control + J for Chrome) and click on the file. You can even go to the folder and double click on it.
Step 3: Once the application is launched, make sure your smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi your personal computer is.
Step 4: You will have to scan the QR code from your smartphone. If you wish, you can choose to remain signed in.
Step 5: You can see that the app is really white, like totally. That can be unhealthy for your eyes.
Step 6: Go to this site and download the file that can make this wonder happen.
Step 7: Once the file is downloaded, extract it from the file explorer itself.
Step 8: The extracted folder contains a file an extension file that enables the dark mode. You simply have to install it like any other app.
Step 9: Now, double click on the app. Windows will give you a warning with a huge pop-up. Click on More info.
Step 10: You can see the 'Run anyway' option. Click on it.
Step 11: You will see a command prompt open automatically. The process will take atleast a minute to complete.
Step 12: The process will kill the original WhatsApp Desktop to apply the styles on it.
Step 13: After a few seconds, you will see the following commands the process is attempting.
Step 14: Once the command is processed, press any key to exit.
Step 15: The new dark WhatsApp Desktop will open automatically and it will be really dark.
Step 16: Although everything is black or dark, the emoji section is a bit buggy as some white patches can be seen.
It is high time WhatsApp embraces dark mode officially as it literally has become the need of the hour. We spend at least half the day in front of our work monitors, smartphones or on laptops for personal use. So, this kind of feature must be on every application whose UX has a lot of white colors in the background.
Whether or not WhatsApp gets an official dark mode, this workaround is perfect for the time being. I have witnessed lags in the app but others never faced that issue, so there's that. As mentioned above, do not download WhatsApp Desktop from the Microsoft or App Store as the workaround only works with the app downloaded from the official WhatsApp site.
What do you think about this dark mode phase? Do you think it is a necessity? Did you try out this method on your WhatsApp Desktop and did it work for you? Let us know in the comments section below.

Pattadakal is a UNESCO World Heritage site that has a group of temples dating from the 7th and 8th centuries. This was the 2nd capital of the Badami Chalukyas. A cluster of 10 major sandstone temples with numerous minor shrines dot this area. Our guide informs us that the temples in this area were built not necessarily for worship, but more as a school for practicing art and architecture. Hmm..... food for thought!!!
The styles here have temples of both the North Indian style with spires or curvilinear shikras traditionally called the Rekha Nagara model as well as the south Indian style or the Dravida Nagara or Mandapas with square roofs of receding tiers.
Aihole - is a 43 kms from Badami. The tiny hamlet of Aihole greets you with an amazing array of ruins small shrines and remnants of what was once the earliest capital of the Chalukya dynasty. It is hard to believe that this was once a bustling centre of trade and commerce. Both Pattadakal and Aihole were considered the "cradle of Hindu temple architecture" with some of the structures dating even before the 6th century. there are about 100 temples of various sizes mostl of them dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
And now we race to our next destination to the ruins at Hampi.

The 19 exciting semi-finals of the Pavlyukov Youth Memorial Tournament saw fantastic battles between the top future stars of the boxing world. Russia's Vsevolod Shumkov eliminated his top Uzbek rival and will be facing for the title of the bantamweight (56kg) with Russia's EUBC European Junior Champion Boris Karibian which could be one of the most anticipated finals in Anapa.
Anapa, which is located off the coast of the Black Sea,hosted the last edition of the EUBC European Confederation Junior Boxing Championships in October 2018. The Pavlyukov Youth Memorial Tournament is one of the strongest in that age group in the entire world and the top nations as Russia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, India, Armenia, Georgia, and Belarus are all attending in Anapa.
Russia's EUBC European Junior Champion and Budapest 2018 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships silver medallist Vsevolod Shumkov was not enough shape in the recent two rounds of the bantamweight (56kg) but he delivered his best performance with perfect timing in the semi-finals against Uzbekistan's Khurshidbek Rasuljonov. Shumkov's footwork was excellent in their semi-final against that Uzbek who eliminated Kazakhstan's Biybars Zheksen in the quarter-finals. Shumkov will be facing for the title of the Pavlyukov Youth Memorial Tournament with Russia's EUBC European Junior Champion Boris Karibian which contest will be a selection fight for the upcoming EUBC European Confederation Youth Boxing Championships.
The light flyweight (49kg) is a strong category at the Pavlyukov Youth Memorial Tournament and following two favourites as Philippines' Kenneth De La Pena's and Russia's Mukhamed Vakhaev's early eliminations, boxers from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan advanced to the finals. Kazakhstan's Mukhammedsabyr Bazarbayuli dominated his semi-final against Russia's Muslim Dzhumagulov and will be meeting for the title with Uzbekistan's Shakhzod Muzaffarov who eliminated Armenia's Rudolf Garboyan.
Kazakhstan's strong duo impressed in the semi-finals of the flyweight (52kg) which means the two promising boxers will be meeting each other for the title of the division. ASBC Asian Youth Champion and Budapest 2018 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships bronze medallist Makhmud Sabyrkhan eliminated Philippines' ASBC Asian Junior Champion John Vincent Pangga. Sabyrkhan's compatriot Talgat Syrymbetov also won his semi-final in the Pavlyukov Youth Memorial Tournament.
Dmitriy Zakharov won the All Russian Nikiforov & Denisov U17 National Cup last November and he is in strong position to represent his country at the welterweight (69kg) in the EUBC European Confederation Youth Boxing Championships which will be held in September. The 17-year-old Russian had to do his very best against Kazakhstan's Azamat Bektas in the semi-finals but finally his hand was raised after the last gong. Zakharov advanced to the final and his last opponent will be another Kazakh talent Margulan Aidaruly who eliminated Uzbekistan's ASBC Asian Junior Champion Nurislom Ismoilov.
Russia's Dzhambulat Bizhamov won the gold medals in the Budapest 2018 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships and also in the last edition of the EUBC European Confederation Youth Boxing Championships. The strong Russian moved up to the middleweight (75kg) and used his experiences to keep the perfect fighting distance against Armenia's Rafayel Hovhannisyan. Bizhamov needs to do his very best in his upcoming final against Kazakhstan's ASBC Asian Junior Champion Yerassyl Zhakpekov who bowed out Uzbekistan's Sukhrobjon Kaimov.
Kazakhstan's Sagyndyk Togambay was ASBC Asian Youth Champion, ASBC Asian Junior Champion in the recent one and half year and claimed silver in the Budapest AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships. The Kazakh bomber is the toughest youth heavyweight (91kg) boxer in the whole world and he proved his strength once again. Russia's Dmitriy Zakharev is a technician boxer but he did not have realistic chance to beat Togambay in the semi-final of the category. The 17-year-old Kazakh star will be meeting for the title of the Pavlyukov Youth Memorial Tournament with Russia's Daniil Bridov.
Russia's Aleksey Dronov won the big three in 2018: the Youth Olympic Games, the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships and the EUBC European Confederation Youth Boxing Championships. The 17-year-old Russian super heavyweight (+91kg) boxer defeated Kyrgyzstan's strong Akhmed Usupov in the Budapest AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships last August which was a narrow fight. Dronov had to meet with his Kyrgyz rival once again and on their re-match he was even better and advanced to the final of the Pavlyukov Youth Memorial Tournament.


If you are lucky enough to have a pantry, you already know pantries free up kitchen cabinet space for plates, glasses, cookware and other items. Use these practical and creative ways to organize a pantry and create the perfect place for food storage and more.
What should be placed on the top shelf of a pantry?
When organizing a pantry, the placement of commonly used goods is of the utmost importance. Organize the top shelf with seldom-used items since they are difficult to reach. They should not be heavy or difficult to hold onto. Placing large bulky items on a top shelf is a safety hazard. Baking supplies, napkins or seldomly used foods are perfect for the top shelf when trying to organize a pantry.
Dry goods such as crackers and cereal are not always easy to organize when left in the original packaging. When organizing a pantry, consider repackaging dry goods including pasta, cereal, crackers, and snacks in clear, plastic or glass containers. Repackaging these items into plastic or glass containers will help your pantry look neater on the shelves and most importantly, they will stay fresher longer and be easier to see what you have left.
to find. Remove everything from the pantry and organize food in different categories. For example, line up and stack all your canned veggies. Organize an area for pasta sauces and canned tomato products. Organize soups in another location. Wire racks work perfectly for organizing cans. Where lazy Susan's work nicely for spices, oils, vinegars, sauces and smaller items such as baking goods. This will make locating specific items much easier and as a result, the pantry will look much neater. Be sure to store vinegars, oils and syrup on spill proof mats for easy clean up.
Small items such as drink mixes and spice packets are a little more difficult to organize in a pantry. I prefer clear plastic bins to store healthy snacks in for my kids. So when they ask me for a snack, I can grab the bin, set it on the counter and they can make their own decision. Or instead of using plastic, you could use pretty lined baskets. Use one basket for spice mix packets and another for drink mixes. When they are the right size the contents will be easy to organize, thumb through and locate. Also, the lined baskets will add visual appeal to an otherwise ordinary storage space. I also suggest to clients one of my all-time favorite organizing products to store these items. It is the clear, plastic, over-the-door shoe organizer. Hang it from the wall or door. You could also line the walls of the pantry with wall paper to add a little pizazz to your pantry.
Store all your appliances such as crock pots, blenders and heavy mixers on the bottom shelf of your pantry. It is also a good idea to take them out of their boxes for easy accessibility.

The US is revisiting its trade relations with African countries: key issues on the table

Last year, the US's Biden administration announced plans to increase two-way trade and investment between the US and Africa. The starting point was a revamp of the Trump-era "Prosper Africa initiative". As American secretary of state Antony Blinken visits three African nations – South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda – Kefa Otiso and Francis Owusu provide insights into US-Africa trade relations and what's being planned to improve them.
What sort of trade arrangement is the US proposing?
In July 2021, the Biden-Harris administration launched the Prosper Africa Build Together Campaign.
The idea was to elevate and energise the US's commitment to trade and investment with countries across the African continent.
The revamped Trump strategy includes a targeted, long-term effort to connect American and African businesses with new trade and investment opportunities.
Key sectors being targeted are clean energy and climate smart solutions, health, and digital technology.
Through the initiative, the US is promising to help drive billions of dollars of investment to Africa and to work towards equitable access to the benefits of trade and investment. It also envisages harnessing the power of small businesses, especially those led by women and members of the African Diaspora.
What should a good trade pact look like?
This is a difficult question to answer, given the many possible configurations of a potential trade pact.
Nevertheless, we offer two key elements of such a trade pact.
First, it should be truly multilateral unlike, for example, the prevailing US-Africa trade agreement, the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) – which is a unilateral US government policy. A truly multilateral pact would recognise African leaders as equal partners and ensure that they have an opportunity to properly engage in US-Africa trade negotiations.
Anything short of this would be counter-productive for one or both parties. For instance, a bad trade pact could worsen US trade deficits while for Africa, it would amount to a missed opportunity for badly needed structural economic transformation. In addition, it would force African countries to compete head-to-head with the much stronger US economy, to the disadvantage of their local businesses and industries.
Second, whatever agreement is reached needs to increase the capacity of African countries to trade with the US. While a US-Africa free trade agreement would be ideal, it would be unlikely to work well for many African countries. Countries with technological and economic weaknesses would easily be overwhelmed by the powerful US export machine.
So, instead of a free trade agreement, a beneficial pact for Africa should be designed to boost trade and investment between the US and Africa while also gradually increasing the capacity of African countries to compete globally in the production of nontraditional high-value products.
Although the exact details of the Prosper Africa Build Together Campaign are yet to be worked out, we are cautiously optimistic that it can live up to its promise. Unlike AGOA, it has a holistic and long-term focus. And because of the need to counteract the influence of Europe, Russia, and China, the US is likely to be more motivated to engage Africa both economically and geopolitically.
Africa can only get good trade pacts if it negotiates for them. African countries must therefore invest in capacity building and training for their trade negotiators as well as hiring, keeping, and empowering the right people for these roles.
What arrangement is in place at the moment?
The prevailing US-Africa trade agreement is the African Growth and Opportunity Act. It was enacted in 2000 and is expected to expire in 2025 unless the US Congress extends it.
The law has been at the core of US economic policy and commercial engagement with Africa since 2000. It provides eligible sub-Saharan African countries with duty-free access to the US market for over 1,800 products. This is in addition to the more than 5,000 other products that are eligible for duty-free access under the Generalised System of Preferences programme.
Currently, 36 countries on the continent are eligible for AGOA benefits.
Has it achieved its intended purpose?
To some extent, yes. The legal framework has helped to provide beneficiary countries in sub-Saharan Africa with liberal access to the US market. In addition, it has increased trade and investment ties between the US and sub-Saharan Africa. It has also created over 300,000 jobs in the region, especially in the apparel sector. As of 2021, non-oil US imports under the agreement (a major source of its job-creating value) were about US$4.8 billion.
However, not all sub-Saharan African countries have benefited from AGOA and their manufacturing sectors remain weak. Most of Africa's exports under AGOA are still dominated by apparel products. In addition, many of the AGOA beneficiaries have been foreign companies that are using Africa as a front to gain access to the US market.

In 2020, President Trump and his Kenyan counterpart Uhuru Kenyatta announced the start of negotiations for a post-AGOA deal between the two countries. Trump's administration claimed that the deal would serve as a model for other African countries.
Conceived in the context of Trump's preference for bilateral trade deals, the pact was to conclude within 10 months. But it did not. Otherwise, it would have given the US a replicable model for future trade deals with Africa. In the end, the expiry of Trump's term of office scuttled the negotiations.
This US-Kenya pact would have been the first such bilateral deal between the US and a sub-Saharan African country. Currently, the only African country with a free trade agreement with the US is Morocco. Called the Morocco Free Trade Agreement, it was signed in 2004.
In the case of Kenya, such a deal would have elevated its preferential access to the American market under AGOA to a reciprocal pact similar to those that the US has with 20 other countries around the world, including Morocco.
In conclusion, it is important to realise that US-Africa trade relations are on a dynamic continuum that includes Bill Clinton's AGOA, George Bush's African Global Competitiveness Initiative, Barack Obama's Trade Africa, Donald Trump's Prosper Africa Initiative and now Joe Biden's Prosper Africa Build Together Campaign.
These trade initiatives have enduring threads tied to larger US values and interests in Africa. Future trade pacts are therefore unlikely to deviate much from past ones even as the US strives to counteract European, Russian and Chinese influence in Africa. African states should similarly fight for their own interests in such trade engagements.
Two key pressures are likely to shape future US-Africa trade pacts.
First, should the US negotiate with individual African countries or with the continent as a whole? Secondly, should future US trade pacts with Africa be unilateral like AGOA or involve African leaders in defining their frameworks? In the light of the 2018 African Continental Free Trade Area agreement, which encompasses most of Africa, we think that future US-Africa trade deals will probably be more multilateral and comprehensive.
