Business History around the World
03 May 2004Research & Ideas
by Cynthia Churchwell
One way to understand management trends and ideas today is to look at yesterday. HBS entrepreneurship professor Geoffrey G. Jones and co-editor Franco Amatori have done just that with their new book, Business History around the World.
While many history departments of American universities prefer to keep business as a separate discipline, HBS entrepreneurship professor Geoffrey Jones encourages the examination of history as a way to better understand contemporary management issues.
To that end, Jones and Franco Amatori, a professor at Bocconi University in Milan, co-edited Business History around the World (Cambridge University Press 2004), a report on the current state of business history worldwide. Recently Jones took time to explain the importance of this new book, to which he also contributed chapters.
Cynthia Churchwell: What inspired your work analyzing the study of business history around the world?
Geoffrey Jones: There were two main factors driving our desire to bring together this survey of the current state of business history worldwide.
First, there has been an explosive growth of research over the last decade. Ten years ago our knowledge of the history of business was heavily concentrated on the cases of the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. Since then there has been exciting new research on the business history of other European countries, especially Italy and Spain, on many Latin American countries, especially Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico, and on Chinese-speaking communities. Much of the best research is only available in local languages.
Business historians have also widened their research agendas. Understanding the evolution of the strategies and structures of large manufacturing corporations remains important, but a new generation of researchers has explored business networks, the family firm, knowledge creation and transfer, public policy and business, and a host of other topics. We wanted to bring together this new literature and perspectives and make it accessible, in English, to a broader audience.
Additionally, we felt that the moment was opportune for such a survey because the discipline of business history is at a crossroads. There are some researchers who wish the subject to be embedded firmly within the discipline of history, and to address the primary concerns of that discipline. In the United States, many history departments are currently heavily concerned with topics relating to culture, ethnicity, and gender. There is often an unwillingness to relate these important topics to business. Other scholars, including myself, perceive of business history as playing a central role in enhancing our understanding of key issues in contemporary management and business administration. The book provides a position statement of where we are now, which we hope will enrich the debate about the future direction and research agenda of the discipline.
Q: How does this new work differ from your previous research on multinationals?
A: This new book reflects my longstanding interest in the diversity of the business past. Much of my own research has been concerned with the historical evolution of multinationals. However, although research on this topic has often focused on high technology manufacturing companies, I have written extensively on the service sector, on business groups and alliances rather than hierarchical corporations, and on the different ways the entrepreneurs and firms of different countries have pursued strategies and organized their businesses. The contributors to this new book bring out this rich diversity on a much broader canvass.
Q: What have you learned about the success and impact of businesses around the world?
A: This book shows how entrepreneurs and firms have occupied center stage in driving the wealth of nations. It also demonstrates that there has never been a single model for successful or unsuccessful capitalism.
To give only one example, business and economic historians have often taken a skeptical view of the merits of family-owned and -managed firms. Harvard Business School's Alfred Chandler, the doyen of business historians, famously ascribed Britain's relative economic decline to the United States from the late nineteenth century to that country's proclivity towards family or "personal capitalism." This was contrasted with the separation of ownership and control and the growth of professional management seen in the United States. That debate continues. But this book does report compelling research that shows that, historically, family ownership and management in many countries has been a dynamic force. Leading firms such as Michelin in France, Heineken in the Netherlands, or Cargill or Mars in the United States are the tip of a huge iceberg of successful and long-lived family firms worldwide. Even today around a third of Fortune 500 companies are family controlled.
Business and economic historians have often taken a skeptical view of the merits of family-owned and-managed firms.
It may sound a simplistic conclusion that there has never been "one best way" of achieving business success. However, this historical experience stands as a powerful corrective to over-simplistic management fads and fashions, and to slavish transfers of management systems and practices that might work well in one country but can be disastrous in another.
Q: What are some of the most important similarities and differences you found in comparing British and Dutch business history? How do the histories of these countries relate to that of the United States, considering that all three have been large foreign direct investors?
A: Keetie Sluyterman and I intended our chapter comparing British and Dutch business history to be provocative. The business historians of these two countries have frequently made comparisons with the United States, and sometimes Germany. Generations of British business historians explained their country's economic "failure" by establishing what it did "wrong" compared to U.S. or German business. They then explained this by identifying idiosyncratic factors in Britain's development, such as the class system, or an alleged "anti-industrial" bias of its social elite, or the post-1945 flirtation with socialism and extensive state intervention. We maintain that comparisons which use the United States as a benchmark can be misleading. The United States is an idiosyncratic country by virtue of its size and growth, high levels of entrepreneurial energy, legalistic culture, and a number of other unusual features.
In our essay we show that the business systems of Britain and the Netherlands shared many similarities. Both countries had an imperial and mercantile heritage. Family business stayed important. The service sector was strong. Multinational activity was extensive and persistent. The two countries even shared the ownership of two of the world's largest multinationals, Shell and Unilever. Many allegedly distinctive features of British and Dutch capitalism turn out to be part of a wider pattern for countries with shared geographical positions, cultural orientations, and historical patterns of development.
It is a paradox that in a global world so much research on business history remains trapped within national borders.
There were some significant differences, however, which help to provide explanations behind the divergent performances of the two countries, especially the higher levels of productivity seen in the Dutch economy since the Second World War. The Netherlands has provided much higher levels of skill training for its workers than Britain. Dutch firms also preferred to recruit people with an engineering or technical background, while traditionally British managers were chosen on the basis of "character."
The firms and entrepreneurs of the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands have shared one common characteristic over the last 150 years—an enthusiasm for investing abroad. Historically there have been huge differences in national propensities to engage in foreign direct investment. Britain held almost one-half of total world FDI before 1914. The United States replaced Britain as the largest foreign investor after the Second World War. The Dutch were also massive foreign investors given the size of their country. Between 1914 and 1980, the U.S., Britain, and the Netherlands together accounted for between two-thirds and three-quarters of total world FDI. It was only in 1980 that German FDI exceeded that of the Netherlands, even though the former's population was four times larger.
Q: What do you think are some frontiers of business history still to be explored?
A: It is a paradox that in a global world so much research on business history remains trapped within national borders. I believe that the most productive research agenda will move away from such parochialism towards exploring key issues in an internationally comparative framework. Within this context, I would like to see attention move beyond a strong emphasis on the top-level strategy of firms towards seeking a deeper understanding of how firms work. Much management theory stresses how firm-specific resources—especially knowledge—accumulate over time, and become embedded in distinctive routines or cultures which shape the competitive advantage of firms. Business historians are in a unique position to explore this process over time, and to deepen our understanding of it.
Q: Where do you see your research taking you next?
A: I continue to be fascinated by the role entrepreneurs and firms have played in integrating national economies over the last two centuries. This global integration has driven much of world economic growth. The process explains, in part at least, the current patterns of wealth and poverty in the world today. I believe the special skills of business historians—based on their ability to look deeply inside firms over long time periods—can make a major contribution to understanding how this was done, and with what consequences.
The project I am currently working on examines the globalization of the world personal care or beauty industry over the last fifty years. It is concerned with explaining how an industry fragmented on national lines has come to be concentrated in the hands of a small number of global corporations, and in turn to consider the impact of this outcome. I hope to use the lens of this large and extremely fast-growing industry, which influences the self-image of so many people, to provide deeper insights on the business, social, and cultural dimensions of globalization.

TEHRAN (ANF) – A Kurdish female student studying in Tehran has been taken into custody by the Iranian regime, no details about her fate.
Her lawyer, Mihemed Hisen Axasi, told Roj News that Meryem Fereci has 'disappeared' for eight days now.
The lawyer feared the worse if the student is in the hand of the Iranian regime forces.
The Iranian Revolutionary Court had handed out three prison terms to Meryem Fereci and had forbidden her to go abroad for two years.
Later, this sentence was converted into supervised freedom and the student had to report to the police every day to sign in.
Lawyer Axasi stated that Fereci had been missing from her home for a week.
According to the latest information obtained, it is unknown where she was detained by Tehran police and where she was taken.

Why me? Why my daughter? Why my son? These are immediate questions along any medical journey. I remember sitting at home one evening after one of Audra's first endoscopies with tears in my eyes processing the day's events with Mary Beth. The emotions in those moments seem amplified, and the added unknown of having to wait for the official test results didn't help. I remember feeling a combination of anger and sadness toward the sickness that Audra was facing, and the question of why my little girl was in the cross-hairs of this disease was at the forefront.

I had to deal with the question of why this was happening head-on, because I knew if ignored it could be incapacitating for my ability to lead my family and for my faith. The thing is, there are so many cliché responses that immediately went through my head and weren't immediately comforting.
God is in control. Is he, really?
God has a plan. Does he?
God is good. How can this be true?
As Mary Beth and I talked through the events of the day and how we were feeling, we tried to match up the picture of God that we had from the Bible with the events of the day and the everyday symptoms that Audra was dealing with.
Our experience with God over the years had been so profound, and we genuinely wanted to understand how the things we believed could still be true. Having a sick child just seemed so far from what we had known or expected. These moments, when I'm beyond what I think I can handle or could imagine, tend to take me back to the basics of the life of Jesus.
Jesus — the one who was supposed to fix everything and bring hope — lived a perfect, innocent life, and He faced torture, mocking, rejection, and a heinous death. How could God be good and allow this suffering? How could God have a plan when the rulers of the day took over and sentenced Jesus to death? How could God be in control with this chaos?
The pain and suffering — and even death — that Jesus faced cast a dark cloud over His friends.
But the story doesn't end there. Three days later, the beauty of Jesus shines, and the chaos gives way to the unveiling of God's purpose: to make a way for all of His hurting children to come to Him. The promise of hope looked different than what any of Jesus's friends had expected, but oh, was it life-changing. Somehow, He used the pain and suffering to make forgiveness and grace available to anyone willing to stop thinking they had all the answers and trust that Jesus's sacrifice was — and still is — enough to heal our hearts.
Can I be honest? Pain and suffering and sickness still cast a dark cloud today. That's what I was feeling in the emotion of the day and the reality of physical symptoms of sickness. As I thought about the victory of Jesus over death, though, it gave me hope that the realities of my circumstance don't have to define us or separate us from hope. Maybe God could have a plan for Audra.
Experiences like this were turning points for me because Mary Beth and I took the space to ask candid questions and ask God to give us wisdom. Did we walk away with neat and tidy answers? No. Do I understand all of the pain and suffering in our world? No. But we did walk away from those conversations committed to each other and resolved in our faith.
In fact, many of the answers that didn't seem comforting at the beginning seemed to be more helpful when I put them in the context of Jesus's life.
Can God still be in control with the pain we experience? When I look at Jesus, yes.
Could God have a plan for this suffering? When I look at Jesus, yes.
Can God be good with suffering in the world? When I look at the grace He offers in Jesus, yes.
I think the reason that clichés can be so hard to swallow is the way they're frequently delivered as a statement — even a well-intentioned statement — to fix how we're feeling. What I'm learning is that God doesn't want to us to try to fix each other like patching a leaky roof or replacing parts on a broken car: get it working and then be on our way. He wants us to sit together and listen to each other. He wants us to ask the candid questions and look into the Bible to see what He says about Himself. As we take the time to really listen in the cloudy seasons, God will meet us there.

Students of Comercial N° 11 "Dr. José Peralta" School in Argentina have submitted these wonderful designs. The first one has been drawn by Camila Gómez 1° 3° T.M. and was voted the piece to represent Argentina by the jury composed of the principal: Gabriela Gramont, the design professor: Sabrina Idaberry and the student: Carla Palermo, who made the drawing in the 2012 SIPQ.
The first design above has been done by Aylén Chávez, Bárbara Junco, Sheyla Alarcón, Micaela Medina, Abigail Namaka, Oriana Fortuna and Milagros Balbuena 1°2° T.M.
The design alongside has been drawn by Bradly Navarro, Gustavo Cabral, Alexis Ibañez and Francisco Quispe 1°2° T.M.
The first of these pictures has been drawn by Charly Choque Flores and Ricardo Tocón Cardozo.
The next one is by Heber Barbieri and Thomás González 1°2° T.M.
Then we have La Paz by Priscilla and Antonella Iabichella 1°2° T.M.
The final design has been created by Bárbara Ponce, Belén de María, María Ibañez y Franco Castro 1° 2° T.M.
"Peace requires four essential conditions: truth, justice, love and freedom".
A huge thank you to all those involved and to Paula Burd who coordinated the project for Argentina.
Argentines call the blue colour of their national flag 'celeste', which is the colour of the day sky seen from normal angles of sight.
When ceremonially carried, the Argentine flag and flag bearers are subject to certain particular and elaborate practices set by law and flags are always carried with at least two escorts.
Argentine's flag bearers usually have to go through a screening process and in schools there is strong competition by students to achieve the honour. Often students with the best grades are chosen to be Argentine's flag carriers.
So creative! I worked with children in Buenos Aires and they were so passionate and interested in learning.

Nurse Claims Daughter, 13, was left in Wheelchair with "Body of Little Old Lady" After Suffering Reaction to Gardasil
A nurse claims her 13-year-old daughter has been left in a wheelchair after suffering a reaction to the HPV vaccine. Anthea Beattie, 49, says Zara is like an "80-year-old in a teenager's body" and is convinced her ill health is due to the jab, which protects against cervical cancer . The sporty schoolgirl, once a promising footballer and netball player, began struggling for breath in a PE lesson in January last year. At first the family dismissed Zara's symptoms as asthma but her health continued to deteriorate in the weeks that followed. She suffered palpitations, felt dizzy, weak and tired, and was later diagnosed with POTS - postural tachycardia syndrome - which makes her heart race.

Venezuela: no to socialism for the 21st century
By Rodrigo Acuña - posted Wednesday, 12 December 2007 Sign Up for free e-mail updates!
In a surprise result, it was announced on December 3 that Venezuelan voters have rejected the 69 reforms to the national Constitution proposed by President Hugo Chávez and the National Assembly.
The proposed reforms, to further what Chávez often calls "socialism for the 21st century", were divided into two blocks. In the first block, which included Chávez's 33 proposed changes to the 1999 Constitution, the "no" vote won by 50.70 per cent to the "yes" vote's 49.29 per cent.
In the changes proposed by the National Assembly - which is dominated by Chavistas because of the opposition's abstention during the 2005 elections - the "no" vote won again with 51.05 per cent of voters voting against the reforms, 48.94 in favour and a surprising abstention rate of 44.39 per cent.
So, why did Chávez lose the referendum, despite his almost unstoppable political momentum since winning the presidency in 1998?
Two determining factors come to mind. The first is the high level of absenteeism.
Political analyst and Chávez watcher Gregory Wilpert argued before the referendum that considerable confusion about the reforms had already translated itself into voter apathy with a "large segment of the population" unwilling to vote for or against the Constitutional amendments. "In the end," wrote Wilpert, "it all boils down to which side mobilises more supporters".
Given Chávez thrashed right-wing candidate Manuel Rosales in last year's presidential election - 62.9 per cent to 37.9 per cent - doubling their support for the President from 3.7 million votes in the 1998 elections, to 7.3 million in 2006, many Chavistas may have grown overconfident. A victory seemed assured and thus it was safe to give voting a miss.
In fact, until now, Chávez and his supporters have been unacquainted with the words "electoral defeat" - even when opinion polls have predicted a tight result.
The second determining factor behind Chávez's defeat may simply be that many Venezuelans did not agree with the proposed changes to the 1999 Constitution which Mary Robinson - former United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees - once described "excellent".
Leaving aside misrepresentations in the mainstream media, such as Roger Cohen's comments in the New York Times on November 29 about Chávez making a "grab for socialist-emperor status", most admirers of the Caracas administration have hitherto been unequivocal in their support for changing the Constitution.
Mark Weisbrot in the New Statesman last November 21 highlighted many of the positive aspects of the reforms but hardly elaborated as to why many Chavistas had serious issues with certain proposals.
Edgardo Lander - a sociology professor at Caracas University - was an exception. An organiser of the World Social Forum and a former part of the Venezuelan government's negotiating team that helped defeat the US's Free Trade Agreement of the Americas, Lander, in a paper for the Transnational Institute, noted that many of the constitutional amendments which claimed to establish a socialist economy were ambiguous and without practical substance. (A point also raised by Wilpert who wrote that the "inclusion of the term "socialist" in many parts of the referendum seems unnecessary, other than to give a label to something that has not been proven to deserve this label.")

Fantastic news coming in from hollywoodreporter.com! I think this project and the character Cal sound amazing, what do you think?
He'll play a cult leader in the 10-episode drama set to begin production in September.
Hannibal star Hugh Dancy has lined up his next role.
The actor has been tapped to co-star in Hulu's straight-to-series Jason Katims drama The Way, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Based on a script Katims (Parenthood, Friday Night Lights) and his True Jack Productions head of development Michelle Lee and created with Parenthood alum Jessica Goldberg last year, The Way examines a family at the center of a controversial faith-based movement struggling with relationships, marriage and power. Each hourlong episode will take an in-depth look at what it means to choose between the life we live and the life we want. The 10-episode straight-to-series drama will go into production in September in New York for a premiere in early 2016.
Dancy will play Cal Roberts, is the charismatic face of The Way. He's entangled in a complicated relationship with two other members of the movement, Sarah (Michelle Monaghan) and her conflicted husband, Eddie (Aaron Paul). Cal will battle personal demons and bold ambition as he strives to take the organization into its next generation.
The drama hails from Universal Television, where Katims' True Jack is based. Goldberg will write and executive produce the series, alongside with Katims and Lee. Mike Cahill (Another Earth) will direct the pilot.
The casting comes as Dancy is wrapping the third and final season of Hannibal on NBC, which canceled the drama in June after only three episodes of its third season had been broadcast. The cast were subsequently released from their contracts though showrunner Bryan Fuller — and Dancy — have expressed faith that the critical darling could continue on, perhaps as a feature film.
Dancy is repped by UTA, United Agents and Gene Parseghian.

Mozilla working on a tablet specific version of Firefox, show a peek at the new UI
Jerry Hildenbrand
If you have a Honeycomb tablet, I know you're aware of just how great some of the apps can look and feel. It looks like Mozilla is aware as well, and are hard at work building a tablet specific version of Firefox Mobile. Based on the same core code as the existing Firefox Mobile browser, the user interface looks to be receiving some very nice changes for the extra screen real estate that a tablet provides. All the familiar features are there, including the awesomebar, and so far the biggest change looks to be the way tabs are shown and navigated. In portrait mode, you'll have a button near the address bar that opens a menu of your running tabs, and in landscape, you'll have a persistent scrollable bar on the left with previews of each running tab. We are pretty excited to see what the folks at Mozilla cook up next, as there's a space for the "perfect" web browser on a tablet that's still wide open. You can see a few more pictures at the source link.

Are CAM Therapies Tested To See If They Work?
While some scientific evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies-questions such as whether the therapies are safe, how they work, and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are used.
NCCAM is the Federal Government's lead agency for scientific research on CAM. NCCAM supports research on CAM therapies to determine if they work, how they work, whether they are effective, and who might benefit most from the use of specific therapies.

Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (Systemy Komercyjnego Transportu Orbitalnego), skr. COTS – program NASA utworzony w celu sfinansowania i koordynowania prac zmierzających do zapoczątkowania komercyjnych dostaw zaopatrzenia (cargo) na Międzynarodową Stację Kosmiczną (ISS).

W wyniku wycofania z eksploatacji w 2011 r. amerykańskich promów kosmicznych Space Shuttle, zaopatrzenie ISS odbywało się wyłącznie za pomocą zagranicznych środków transportu kosmicznego: rosyjskimi statkami Progress, a także europejskimi Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) i japońskimi H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV). Program COTS ma na celu zmniejszenie uzależnienia się Stanów Zjednoczonych od zagranicznych partnerów ISS i ich środków transportu.

Program COTS został ogłoszony 18 stycznia 2006 r. Jeszcze w 2006 r. NASA ogłosiła, że zwycięzcami konkursu na dostawy towarów do ISS zostały firmy Rocketplane Limited oraz SpaceX. Gdy okazało się, że Rocketplane nie będzie w stanie wywiązać się z zadania, 19 lutego 2008 r. NASA ogłosiła, że w jej miejsce zwycięzcą konkursu jest firma Orbital Sciences Corporation.

23 grudnia 2008 r. NASA ogłosiła zawarcie kontraktów z przedsiębiorstwami SpaceX i Orbital Sciences Corporation na korzystanie w przyszłości z produkowanych przez nie w ramach kontraktu statków kosmicznych, odpowiednio Dragon i Cygnus, celem dostarczania towarów na ISS. Kwoty kontraktów za dostawę 20 ton towarów na ISS w okresie 2011–2015, wynoszą 1,6 mld USD dla SpaceX i 1,9 mld USD dla Orbital Sciences Corporation. Wartość końcowa obydwóch kontraktów może zostać zwiększona do kwot 3,1 mld USD.

W ramach tych kontraktów zrealizowano następujące prace:
 SpaceX – budowa kapsuły towarowej Dragon i jej rakiety nośnej Falcon 9 (12 lotów).
 Orbital Sciences Corporation – budowa kapsuły towarowej Cygnus i jej rakiety nośnej Antares (8 lotów).

Po serii lotów testowych, pierwszy kontraktowy lot w ramach programu Commercial Resupply Services, którego celem było sfinansowanie i koordynacja lotów zaopatrzeniowych na ISS, odbył się w dniach 8–28 października 2012 r. z udziałem statku Dragon.

UN Official: Dialogue With Islamic Emirate 'Important'
January 10, 2022 Current News Articles

The UN commissioner for refugees further said that Afghan women and girls must be allowed to attend schools, and minorities must be represented.
Filippo Grandi, the United Nations Commissioner for Refugees, told the Washington Post that it is important to maintain dialogue with the Islamic Emirate, saying that this will ensure that Afghanistan is "viable."
"But in the end, in the end, it is important to maintain that dialogue with the Taliban, because all these systems will be temporary in nature, and how to ensure that Afghanistan is viable, is a viable country able to support its people, I think will only be achieved through dialogue between the international community and the Taliban themselves," said Grandi.
Grandi added that he delivered the same message to the Islamic Emirate when he was visiting Kabul: that the "Taliban" has to fulfil some promises, if they want their financial resources to be unfrozen.
"When I was in Kabul, and when my colleagues were there, we all told the Taliban the same message. If you want your resources to be unfrozen, if you want the country to enjoy again substantive development support by the international community, you also have to make steps in their direction. It's–it goes both ways, but it is a dialogue. It cannot be a wall-to-wall situation, said Grandi.
The commissioner, in response to the question over whether this Taliban government is the same Taliban that ruled Afghanistan very severely in the 1990s, said: "The Afghanistan, the Taliban … in 1996, 1997 was profoundly different from the Afghanistan that they have taken over recently. And they have to live with that, they have to cope with that, they have to deal with that situation."
The Islamic Emirate said it has taken steps to positively engage with the world.
"We have traveled to many counties on behalf of Afghanistan, raised our voices, participated in sessions and we were welcomed and this is good engagement for official recognition of the Islamic Emirate," said Amir Khan Muttaqi, acting Foreign Minister.
"The remaining problems have to be resolved diplomatically and through logical negotiations. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is ready to negotiate over some issues to remove some concerns," said Inamullah Samangani.
After the victory of the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan, many Afghans who were working for state and international offices and some private agencies lost their jobs and the poverty rate has increased dramatically in Afghanistan.

Rev. Jackson Discusses Voter Suppression, Trump Victory and Moving Forward
Published on Thursday, 15 December 2016 14:41
Written by Brandon I Brooks
By Brandon I Brooks
"We have to keep going," said Reverend Jesse Jackson to all those anxious about the coming Donald Trump era in the United States.
"Deep water doesn't make you drown. You drown because you stop kicking."
Jackson spoke to the Sentinel/L.A. Watts Times recently about the factors contributing to Trump's victory and the strategies needed to navigate through the pending administration's potentially harmful policies.
"[Hillary Clinton] had a two and a half million vote margin victory," Jackson told the Sentinel.
"Yet, the loser won and the winner lost because of something called the electoral college, a group of overseers of the popular vote. If this were in South Africa or Mexico, or Britain or France and the loser had a two and a half million vote win and yet the loser won, it would be incomprehensible.
"The rules must be changed. We must wipe out the electoral college. It has no useful function in today's world of one person one vote…"
Widespread voter suppression tactics were also a contributing factor, Jackson said.
"They may come in the form of voter ID. They may come in the form of only one day to vote," he explained.
"Take a state like California or Pennsylvania you only have one day to vote. Given the distance that people have to travel to work in California… many people leave (for work) before the polls open or come home after the polls are closed. That is a form of voter suppression. Making precincts less accessible is also a form of voter suppression."
Trump he said, spent lots of time accusing Democrats of voter fraud but no evidence of fraud was ever found. However, there was plenty of evidence pointing to voter suppression tactics. These tactics chip away at the civil rights African Americans and other minorities fought so hard for in this country.
"We got the right to vote in 1965 for the first time in 85 years," said Jackson.
"But we've been denied the protected right to vote. The crown jewel of [the African American] struggle is the protected right to vote. But in Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Michigan [during this election] there was voter suppression.
"We want the protected right to vote."
And, the first issue when it comes to that Jackson explained, is Trump's potential pick for attorney general, Jeff Sessions.
"The attorney general determines, voting, women's rights, workers' right to organize…," Jackson said.
Sessions, a four-term Alabama Republican has been described as a "hard-liner" on free trade and immigration, arguing that prospective immigrants don't have constitutional protections. He has opposed efforts to overhaul prison sentencing, back off the war on drugs and legalize marijuana.
"We must protest vigorously against Jeff Sessions.," he said.
"He has made it very clear that he does not support the voting rights act. We cannot have an attorney general who is against the voting rights act, arguing the case to diminish it in front of the Supreme Court."
In addition to the AG issue, Jackson listed several other issues that will absolutely need to be addressed during the Trump administration's term, in order to maintain a safe level of human rights in the United States. He mentioned things like changes in voting policies and procedures, gaining more access to media ownership for African Americans, more roundtables on urban policy and fighting to keep the Affordable Healthcare Act in place.
"In the future we should have supervised Federal elections, not states' rights," Jackson said.
"Number 2, 18-year-olds should be automatically registered to vote. Number 3, there should be voting on all campuses. Number 4, we should have pictures on ballots so people can see who they are voting for…
"The second issue is telecommunications. We must have our share of media ownership. The third is healthcare. They plan to replace affordable health care without an alternative. If it's repealed it must be replaced immediately. Twenty two million people now have affordable health care because of Obamacare.
"Those persons losing their healthcare may never recover. People will die between the time when they kill it in January and the three years before it comes up again. They will have debt issues, etc. We should fight for affordable health care.
"We need to fight to wipe out student loan debt and make education affordable and accessible again. We should demand an urban policy. We need a White House conference on urban policy to address the causes and cures of violence. We need to address things like the impact of poverty and plans to rebuild cities torn apart by homelessness.
"If we maintain our will to fight back, we can win even though the odds are against us…"
Jackson turned 75 earlier this year, and on December 17, he will be here in Los Angeles to continue the celebration at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

SANTA MONICA (CBS) — The group is called Mercy For Animals…and this animal rights group is known for being in your face.
Literally. Thursday night, they set up 80″ large screen TV's on the 3rd Street Promenade and showed the 12-minute documentary film "Farm to Fridge," depicting — in living color — how animals are slaughtered for food.
CBS 2 weekend anchor and reporter Rob Schmitt talked to meat lovers and gauged their reaction to the disturbing images. He reported that the images shown were "jarring" to say the least.
The mission might have worked. Schmitt talked to at least one woman choking back tears for being a meat eater.
The Mercy For Animals truck is on a nationwide tour. Other stops include Las Vegas, Miami, San Francisco, Dallas, Cleveland and Phoenix to name a few.
Welcome to the 21st century, where you have no need to eat either one.
Good for you man! You are really adding to evolution! keep it up and you might turn into a worm sooner than you think.
I am so glad that that I understand that we are all animals that have feelings.
Good for them. If you can't stand to watch it, you probably shouldn't eat it.
LOL THAT BIG LOKS GOOD FOR BACON OR CARNITAS.
The high cholesterol and saturated fats in meat can also slow circulation in your brain, making you unable to spell or work your caps lock key.
I don't see the problem. That pig was obviously washed and prepared before it was consumed. It's not like someone ate it raw, immediately after the guy tokk his boot off of it.
If you don't see the problem of raising animals in an environment that keeps them chronically sick, then abusively handling them… and killing them in painful ways…. I don't know what to tell you. I will pray for you.
You are one SELFISH HEARTLESS MONSTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That WAS DIRECTED AT meat eater ~ SORRY !
It's not exactly a surprise that there are people in the world that have no trace of human compassion, whose only concern is filling their own bellies, whatever misery that might inflict. Happily, animals are able to exact their own vengeance on meat-eaters from beyond the grave in a whole host of diseases ranging from atherosclerosis to autoimmune diseases to prion diseases to antimicrobial resistant bacteria to novel, recombined viruses to global warming.
The person who is standing on the pig would certainly be in a world of hurt, if only I were there! That person would have no "civil rights" on this infraction of human decency!
How would he be able to get around with all those "broken" ribs?
You don't need ribs to walk. Besides being excruciatingly painful, the biggest risk with fractured ribs is a collapsed or punctured lung. I've fallen and bruised my ribs before, and I was in pain for weeks. I can't imagine the agony of having the ribs actually fractured!
I haven't eaten meat for 26 years and not by choice. I miss it so much! My favorites being, Chorizo and Eggs, Carne Asada, and Pork Chops smothered with salt and pepper. Why did I stop eating meat? 26 years ago, when I was pregnant with my daughter, I was frying an egg. My sister walked up to me and said, "See that little white string there? That is the abortion cord of the chicken". I didn't eat the egg and I haven't touched eggs, fish, or meat from that moment on. Her comment grossed me out so bad that it destroyed my desire to eat any thing with feathers, scales or eyes. I LOVE meat and I miss it so much; however, I get sick even thinking about trying it. Meat is good for you and offers protein to your body… as a result of not consuming it, I am losing my teeth at a very early age… vitamins do NOT work the same. The TV's should be banned because it is not fair to put those thoughts into a persons mind when the food is important to the body.
There is absolutely nothing in meat that you cannot get from a balanced plant based diet. The only area of concern is B12 but this is actually produced by bacteria, not by the cow or chicken. You can get B12 made without it having to be passed through cow flesh first.
I can't believe you actually think you are losing your teeth because you don't eat meat. That is honestly one of the most ridiculous statements I have heard in a very long time. Seriously, I am absolutely shocked. Wow. Just wow.
It is unfortunate that you listened to someone so uninformed. The eggs you buy in the store are not fertile because those hens have never been anywhere near any roosters. Birds lay eggs whether they are exposed to males or not. Also, the little white string is the natural attachment that keeps the yolk centered within the egg.
Actually, it is possible, though probably not common, to get a fertilized egg in the batch. Right before I became a vegetarian (now vegan) I went to make a batch of scrambled eggs & opened one up with a half formed chicken inside… far enough along to have a beak. Absolutely set the course for my eating habits today.
Auntie…you use the word slaughter. As if there is anything humane about it. If I asked you to pick the day on which you would chose to die, could you pick one? Animals are not even offered this dignity. Just because they don't have a voice, doesn't mean their lives are no where near as important as yours.
The egg yolk is the placenta, the white, amniotic fluid, and the little white string is an unfertilized ovum. Essentially a Chicken"s period.
How can you be certain the eggs were not fertile? She doesn't say they came from the dairy case. Maybe she was living on a farm. Or maybe she got them from a health food store; at one time many people thought there were special health benefits from fertilized eggs (not sure it that myth is still taken seriously).
Mary, you need to see a doctor. There is no reason why a vegan lifestyle would make your teeth fall out. The common myth out there is that we NEED protein, who do you think promotes and supports this theory – BIG AG.
I'm a raw vegan and I get very little to no "protein" in the form that most think of it in. There is nothing worse for the human body than animal protein. I eat raw fruits and vegetables, within those are enzymes that contain amino acids. When these foods are cooked, most to all of the enzymes are killed off and rendered useless.
When you eat meat you are eating animal protein, your body must work to break down that protein to harvest the amino acids…so essentially you are eating your amino acids through an unhealthy filter.
I will not deny that when I ate meat/dairy/etc I loved it too. BUT, I love animals more than ever wanting to harm one of them or have someone else do the dirty work for me. Life isn't always about what you want or what tastes good. I feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life and I'm thankfully every day for the friends I have who are supportive and continue to see animals as fellow earthlings instead of a product to be used and tortured by man.
I don't think it is critical to eat plants in their raw state, though we had a raw food restaurant in my town that came up with some of the best dishes I've tasted. We evolved to eat raw vegetables and fruits, it's true, but a few plants (soybeans, for example) are actually healthier when cooked. There's no point in burdening those considering vegetarianism/veganism with an extra level of zealotry. The "work" of breaking down animal proteins is not the main issue, either; our stomachs are pretty formidable conversion machines. The biggest threat, other than saturated fats, appears to be the "molecular mimicry," a concept familiar from a similar process regarding fats and MS), the passing of entire protein molecules into the bloodstream (happens rarely in adults, but it does happen; more common in infants).
Hello Mary – As others have responded you can get quality protein from many other plant based foods… And I'm a bit confused here – You say you are losing your teeth "at a very early age"… You've not eaten meat for 26 years, and I'm assuming you were in your early twenties/late teens at the time… Now, that would make you somewhere 46(ish) — (?) Although that is early to have dental issues, I know many of my meat-eating friends and neighbors are have started losing their teeth too… At around 46(ish). So your plant based diet probably isn't the cause at all! As a suggestion, I'd take a good look at my sugar intake and hygiene habits.
Now you say that you haven't eaten meat "and not by choice"… But surely that's not so! You examined the inherent cruel treatment to innocent beings, who never harmed you or any one and DID make a choice – not to participate in that system… I don't think you were "forced" into doing the right thing at all!
Also, Auntie is right… Hens need a rooster in order to fertilize their eggs… However, since you are concerned with avoiding harm to unborn chicks – Perhaps you ought to know that the male chicks born in egg hatcheries that are "worthless" to the egg industry are either ground live or suffocated at only a few days old. And of course the females live pitiful, short lives too… That should make eggs unacceptable to any truly compassionate person. Yes?
Mary, It sounds like you have a neurosis. I will echo what others have stated: Lack of animal products in your diet have nothing to do with your teeth problems. Are you bulimic??
I'm glad you stopped eating animal products, for whatever reason. They are not health foods, and you don't need them to be healthy.
Most of the human species are sheeple: They don't think for themselves. They are preprogrammed to assembly line mentality.
Humans continue to justify the consumption of animals for various reasons, but mainly, because they like the taste, and they're consumed with feeding self-gratification. Compassion for animals should extend to your plate. All food animals have the capacity to be pets.
Mary, I'm sad for your diminished health. But I would see a doctor about your health issues. A Vegan diet supplies all the nutrients our bodies need to be healthy. Like any diet, meat included, you can suffer deficiencies if you are not eating from an abundance of foods. Goof health to you!
Well, sorry about your teeth, but don't blame a vegetarian diet. I stopped eating meat age 12, now 66 and still have all my teeth. Neighbor lady 79 has been lifelong vegetarian, just got her pilots license and is in fully good health.
Meat is NOT important to our bodies ~ We are actually created to be vegatarian the way our bodies digest food ~ You can get plenty of protien from plant sources and nuts . Just reasearch . I know MANY vegatarians and vegans who are so healthy its awsome ~ If you are losing your teeth it could be genetic or maybe you need to brush and see the dentist more often ~ Our bodies do NOT NEED meat ~ it is just a SELFISH CHOICE to eat it ! People NEED to SEE what they are causing these innocent ,helpless animals who want to live as much as you do to go through as they are TORTURED & MURDERED for your WANTS !
There are meat analogs that, to me, taste far better than the real thing. And there is NO WAY (speaking as a health professional) that giving up meat caused your dental problems. Of course, I can't know what the real cause is, but I studied physiology, microbiology, anatomy and nutrition in getting my degree. There is no known mechanism for lack of meat causing tooth loss. The protein in meat (and milk) is actually harmful to you, a cause of, among other things, autoimmune diseases (a great many of the diseases of affluence (those of First World countries) are autoimmune in nature. Excess protein actually robs your body of calcium; those nations with the highest intake of milk have the highest rates of osteoporosis (kale has many times the calcium, and in a more available form, of milk cup for cup). Rejoice that you have been spared the harm meat causes on yourself and the world your children must live in, and find a competent oral health professional to find out where your real problem lies. Soft drinks are a major culprit of such ills in the US (not necessarily your issue, of course).
I stopped eating meat 15 years ago, when I realized that shrink-wrapped thing in the meat section was actually the arm or leg of a beautiful animal. And you know what — I have never looked back. I am not vitamin or protein deficient, and I have bloodwork to prove it. My cholesterol and bloodpressure remain "ideal" even when i'm stressed out. Nobody needs to eat meat. It's something we did out of tradition and because the multi-billion dollar meat industry keeps running ads to tell is we need meat.
There is this myth we "need protein" so we must eat meat. ALL living things are made up of protein. There is protein in fruits, vegetables, nuts, mushrooms… everything. Proteins in technical terms are a type of large molecules made up of building blocks called amino acids. Your body can make almost all amino acids it needs by taking the raw material from any kind of food and building aminos and then assembling those into proteins. There are only 9 aminos that our body does not synthesize in significant amounts, but those are readily available from plant sources.
Is meat "good for you"? Our bodies were not designed to eat meat in any significant quantity. Ever wonder why it's so easy to get food poisoning from half-cooked burgers or chicken — but your pet cat can eat the same food raw and not get sick? Why is it high meat consumption causes arteriosclerosis which makes people have heart attacks or risk for stroke? It's also proven a high meat diet means too low a fiber- and the digested food can't be pushed through the intestinal tract well. And then people end up with a higher risk of colon cancer.
Calico: Well said. If only everyone in the world could get your simple message, it would be a much better place. Keep spreading the word!
Quite so, Calico. I was raised on a farm and we killed countless animals and ate them. It wasn't pretty, but we tried not to cause them unnecessary pain. The lives those animals lived were bliss compared to the miserable lives and agonizing deaths far and away most meat animals suffer today (the myth of Happy Meat is another issue). I haven't eaten meat since the early 89's, have been near vegan for a few years now, and am in good health, with excellent bone density. I continue to work out in combat sports and do very well. There is a movement toward vegetarianism of late in MMA. You don't need meat; in fact, it's bad for you.
Not eating meat isn't the only alternative to eating animals that have been mistreated. There are innumerable small farms who raise and slaughter animals humanly. Human beings are omnivores – that doesn't mean we have to be cruel. Unfortunately, most folks aren't willing to pay a little more to guarantee that the animals they eat are treated well. We each make our own choices.
Hi Auntie… I would like to clarify what the word "humane" actually means. It means to have the desire to alleviate suffering. These animals are not delivered to the slaughterhouse in any aging pain, they are not physically impaired or "damaged"… They are delivered healthy and fit for life — So there is no "suffering" to alleviate. Only suffering and terror to cause.
Auntie – Why is it okay to take the life of another, regardless of "How" it is done? These animals have lives they want to live just as much as you or I do, they are mammals, we are mammals – everything we feel for our children is the same for them.
So saying to someone, I'm ready to eat you now but don't worry I'm going to do it humanely – that is okay? So if someone came to you and said that to you you would be okay with that, not be able to say goodbye to your family or loved ones, no longer enjoy the sun on your skin, the wind in your hair, and life as you know it.
Dairy cows are repeatedly raped to continuing producing milk (for their calves – not you or I), their calves are ripped away from them immediately (if your child was taken from you after birth what would your response be – trust me, theirs is the same), once the cow can no longer produce milk (after countless births of calves and contained in a little stall for constant milking) she is taken off to slaughter. Her calves will fall into two categories – Female, put back into rotation once she is of the age to conceive and Male, sold to veal farmers (I hope you know what is involved here).
I DONT KNOW WHY SOME OF MY COMMENTS ARE GOING TO THE WRONG PERSON ~ That one was directed to AUNTIE ~ SORRY !
The thing you are not getting is NO ANIMAL WANTS TO DIE no matter how HUMANELY ! Would you be ready to be KILLED even after having a GOOD LIFE to feed anouther beings WANTS ??????? Think about it !
Let's all discuss this over a nice, thick, juicy. barbeque steak dinner !!!
if this isn't the typical redneck hick response. We'll all laugh when you're bleeding out your arse!
Haha, I like you Alicat.
Honestly, I don't have the patience to even respond to someone who is clearly drowning in the shallow end of the gene pool…so sad meateater, you need more veggies. There are people who actually believe slaughtering animals is okay because they believe they have no intelligence, can I send them your address?
As I said and will say again You are just a HEARTLESS SELFISH MONSTER !!!!!!! And the thing is you are one of THE most STUPID UNFEELING beings I have seen ! Those VEGTABLES are NOT living beings who FEEL ~ PAIN & FEAR like animals do ~ The only thing that would make an IDIOT like You understand the REALITY would be to put YOUR IGNORANT HEARTLESS self in the animals place at Slaughter then see if YOU would FEEL anything ! It is EVIL ones like you that need to be GONE from this earth !!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, then, would you eat your dog or cat? C'mon, go ahead, kill them and grill'em up! What's the difference? You shouldn't have any problems with that.
If you say you can't because they're your pets, that's just an arbitrary line you use to rationalize killing other animals that are just as smart, just as capable of emotions, and very much feel pain and suffering.
Animals are not meant for human consumption; they were around long before we were, and lived just fine without us.
It's generally standard practice for people to kill and eat their own pets in cases where starvation would otherwise result. Take a look at what happened in some food-deprived towns in the U.S. South during the Civil War, for instance. The dogs and cats were the first things to go on the menu, followed shortly afterward by the dried glue that could be found in wallpaper.
So yes, I wouldn't eat my dog or cat, because they're my pets. Unless I was starving.
Hi AB… Actually I bet there's lots more people who would eat a human stranger rather than a beloved pet… After all, as you say imply — we love our cats and dogs like members of our family.
Your point however, is way off base – We're not in any situation even close to "starving" in the modern world all of us (on this forum) are in. Now with all the options we all have, why would anyone choose to eat any living being at all???
Just when was the last time you twiddled your banjo and bonked your sister?
Thank you CBS for airing this piece! Everyone needs to know where their food comes from and the cruelty involved with the meat and dairy industries.
Great coverage! It's so important to have groups like Mercy For Animals bringing information to us. Thank goodness for the great work they do, and thanks to CBS for bringing us this story.
I agree…. we need more press on certain issues. The big negative stories that are covered are usually not related to US and our big business….more local and national news, dammit!
I just want to say that it's not about whether humans are meant to consume other animals or not. I consider humans as animals, but I won't use "would you eat a human" to convince anyone to stop eating meat. I believe that there are humane ways to produce meat products, and I wish that they were implemented. And even if I am guaranteed that I am buying non-cruelty animal products, I would mitigate my meat intake from 1-3 times a day (what I used to eat) to twice a week. That is what I choose…. the point is, you should know what you buy, whether you eat it or wear it, and make your decision. And anyone caught torturing animals should be treated like a criminal to an extent. That's democracy.
Hello msmathjm — It's great that you recognize humans as animals… Just like pigs, chickens and cows we are neither plants nor rocks — So yep! We all belong to the same "animal" family! And as such we all have the urgent desire to live… And to be free from pain. The common thread that runs through us all is that we do not wish to be killed.
So I do have to disagree with your belief of "humane meat"… It really is an oxymoron. It just doesn't exist! There is no way one can take a life, no matter how "happy" that life was and have it be considered a good or thoughtful deed.
All animal products require the confinement of animals to differing degrees. Most have to be kept pregnant through artificial means… All meet their early end when they are no longer "profitable" to keep alive.
I would like to clarify what the word "humane" actually means. It means to have the desire to alleviate suffering. These animals are not delivered to the slaughterhouse in any aging pain, they are not physically impaired or "damaged"… They are delivered healthy and fit for life — So there is no "suffering" to alleviate. Only suffering and terror to cause.
Furthermore, it might be considered cruel to kill when not necessary… There is nothing except "taste" that makes meat particularly attractive or desirable. Ending innocent life for taste buds does seem rather "cruel" doesn't it? And I don't know… paying a little bit more might ease one's conscious in a superficial way… But to the animal who's life has been taken, none of that really matters much – The victim cares nothing of what was offered for their dead body… I think it's important to keep this in mind when "voting" with your "compassionate" dollars.
I've been vegan for almost 20 years as a result of finding out how animals are killed.
I'm trying very hard to become a vegan or a vegetarian for moral and health reasons, however, I think calling people hillbillies etc is not the way to convince people to make this change in their lives. I agree with whoever said there should be at the very least humane regulations for the killing of animals as I understand they have in Europe. I think to change society overnight from carnivores to herbivores requires more an information campaign and maybe more companies offering good substitutes for meat like Eves (they have amazing tasting food in my opinion). You can't hammer people over the head – but letting people know what is happening is key. However, name calling and being judgmental is counter productive.
I'm quick to agree. Not that people like "meateater" don't deserve the worst epithets we can hurl at them, it's just that "hillbilly" shouldn't be one of them. I speak as a (near)vegan hillbilly.
And I have all my teeth and a couple of college degrees. And no transmission in my bathtub.
WOW. thanks for the coverage. as uncomfortable as it may have been, I think it's valuable to bring the reality of what the majority of animals go through before they hit a plate as meat. thanks again- this can only have a positive result!
98% of our food comes from animals raised in these conditions. In fact, a statistician would say that because the amount of food from other sources is statistically insignificant, ALL of our food comes from factory farms. It's easy to live in denial – which is what most do – but the truth will set you free and change your life. Are you going to keep lying to yourself or accept reality and change?
I would like to see this film come to the agricultural states like here in Nebraska where 20% of our beef comes from. Thanks for reporting on this film and letting people see what the meat industry is all about.
Thank you for your coverage, CBS. It is amazing that practices too awful to be shown on TV are nonetheless legal and widespread. I really don't want to know where my meat comes from, but the truth is I SHOULD know. I can't make informed decisions if I refuse to look at what my money is supporting.
I wonder why the CBS news show reporting about Farm to Fridge was unable to show the actual video clips to us the readers. If the film was aired in the public square for all to see, why did the news show blur the images when reporting about it?
Thanks to KCal9 for brining this important story to a larger audience and thanks to Mercy for Animals for putting it out there.
"noble" people thought it was acceptable and normal, however, Civil Rights have only come part of the way, leaving the most vulnerable, innocent and defenseless, unprotected and at the "mercy" of our arrogant, selfish, sinister, dark and atrocious species, but hopefully, organizations, such as MFA and others, will slowly turn the tide and break the wall of ignorance that keeps the majority prisoners, under the manipulation and power of these evil Industries (Animal Products Industries) My addiction to Meat, Eggs and Milk, which I craved and loved was finally broken, thanks to MFA and their good work. Never Again a Monster, Never again a Carnivore (equal to Cannibalism) in my book!
Thank you CBS for giving voice to animal victims. The victims of horrors perpetrated by greed, ignorance, and selfishness–the original weapons of mass destruction: humans.
We showed the video on Wednesday at a local college fair. The response is always overwhelming. I am so thankful that we don't have to support it. Being veg is so easy now a days. It's good for the animals and the environment and it's also better for our health.
Thank God the truth is coming out. Mercy for Animals = a group of angels walking on the Earth!
Thank you for covering this people have a right to know what is involved in what they are purchasing and consuming.
Thank you for this report. It came across as supportive of the effort to make people aware of where their food really comes from. There was just one little thing that puzzled me about the reporting: Why was the film described as "controversial"? Upsetting, yes. But what is controversial about truth?
I wholeheartedly support airing this video- all over the world if possible. Most people are unaware of the reality of modern factory farms, or the sentience of the animals we slaughter without a thought to their feelings. I would have to imagine working in one of these places is soul destroying as well. The sooner the world embraces a vegan lifestyle, the better.
CBS you rock! Thanks for stepping out of the box to expose this horrific cruelty. One other powerful point is that is a complete waste to consume animals to sustain life, in fact it's quite the opposite! There is so much cruelty, destruction of land and resources and health hazards for no good reason. Hopefully this will give people pause the next time they want to stuff an animal in their mouths.
The only thing I would change is the title… Not meant to "shock and awe" — But to educate! People have a responsibility and a right to know the facts about how "meat/eggs/dairy" comes to their plate. Let's dissolve these veils of secrecy and lies! Honesty is liberating!
Great Job, CBS, for this excellent story. It's emotionally moving and very thought provoking. Animal issues are the next moral frontier of our generation. Thank you for helping us all learn more about it.
Thank you for covering this important activism. For too long, people have been shielded from the horrors of the food industry. We consumers need to see what we are sponsoring with our dollars, even if it is extremely sad or guilt-inducing or disturbing. We need to face the facts and then vote with our dollars to end these atrocities. Thank you again.
Thank you KCAL for doing this story. The tremendous cruelty our society inflicts on mass numbers of animals is a serious topic that seldom gets enough news coverage. Please continue to cover animal welfare-related stories.
People do not want to see the truth because it's heartbreaking and then there's guilt about eating meat. If people start small and just give up meat one day each week, collectively there would be an impact on reducing the suffering of animals raised for food. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
Thanks to CBS and Rob Schmitt for this coverage — and thank you, Rob, for stating that the video is heartbreaking.
Thank you for the coverage and WAY TO GO….Mercy for Animals…..if slaughterhouses and CAFO's have no windows, Mercy For Animals has found another way to expose the truth!
Only do to other beings what you yourself are prepared to experience! A life is a life regardless of what species!
All life feel hurt/pain/hunger/suffering! We all want to live our life & we should respect/protect all others as we do our own. Need I say any more or do you get it!
I hope they were able to change at least a few people's minds about eating meat. If you can't bear to watch it then you shouldn't be eating meat. Thanks for showing this.
It's not black and white. Many animals are treated humanely.
Animal rights activists only show you the worst: they are unfair, and they lack integrity.
Human beings need meat to survive as a race. Human beings today need the meat enzymes that animals (not plants) can only produce, or many would become ill.
I think animal rights activists should, instead promote humane treatment, rather than trying to influence us to completely give up meat slaughter, and consumption.
It's often unfairly one-sided and they go about it wrong.
Please Ken… Since "humane" means to be concerned with the alleviation of suffering – exactly what "food" animals are treated "humanely"?
Not quite — Or millions of us would be getting sick all the time. Last I checked our health is in much greater jeopardy due to the very animal products you say we can't live without!
Thanks for your expertise, Ken. And just which animal enzymes would those be that we so desperately need? And doesn't cooking destroy them? Or do you eat only rare meat? Please permit us to learn more by citing your sources.
16334578, Human beings can do whatever they want, because they can! So, unless there is another creature that comes along and is able to fight human beings, and the rules, or laws of their societies, humans will continue to choose whatever animals they prefer as pets, or as food.
No, human beings cannot do whatever they want. Because when one human being assaults or kills or rapes another, better human beings will bring him to justice. And when a so-called human being inflicts a degree of cruelty on animals that outrage society's conscience, he is guilty of a crime and will be punished if caught, as he should be. Now groups like COK are working to extend our outrage to forms of animal cruelty we've heretofore turned a blind eye to. Thanks COK and KCAL.
Hey Jellia, don't be too quick to thank Ron Schmitt.
Hear carnivores are chopped liver compared to Schmitt's taste for the beef.
As you may know, human beings as a whole decided milleniums ago that slaughtering meat for consumption is morally correct, and necessary, and the majority of people today (including highly regarded health professionals) think eating meat is absolutely vital to overall health; Many of the non-religious think it's best also.
So, when a minority tries to change the established "moral" way of living, until they can successfully become the majority, and abolish the old ways, "they" are the "immoral" ones. Vegetarians are very self-righteous.
There are vegans/vegetarians who live a long and healthy life, but not every human being will remain healthy on such a diet: Many doctors will attest to this, and its largely due to our DNA make-up. A lot of descendants from heavy meat-eating ancestors will suffer biologically if they do not consume meat in their diet. It is undeniably true that these people need certain animal-producing enzymes in their bodies.
I won't deny that fctry frmg needs a major overhaul.
Hi ken – Milleniums ago we hardly were thinking about morality or ethics. So using those conclusions today is like saying since children were once used/needed to work the sweat shops, it's "established" that this is a fine decision. Society, culture and people change accordingly. Obviously, since this discussion is ever increasing around dinner tables and on-line – We've reached a position to question previously held (obsolete) doctrines.
Also, I don't know that vegetarians or vegans as a group are "self righteous" — Honestly, when you consider being "self righteous" who can be more so than someone who says they have a claim on another being's life??? That's pretty "authoritative" if you ask me.
Ken, thanks for your unfounded and unsupported proclamations, none of which anyone should take seriously. Yes, humans learned they could eat meat long ago and not immediately drop dead. This was, no doubt, accelerated by the human diaspora into northerly climes. But many cultures throughout history have been predominantly vegetarian or vegan and have flourished. Many health professionals are saddled with outmoded assumptions, but every new study reveals additional hazards in eating meat and benefits in going plant-based. There is absolutely nothing immoral in seeking to change morals when they must, most properly, be written in quotes as you have done. Morals are not determined by popular vote, or slavery and child labor must once have been "moral." Some vegetarians are, I"m sure, self-righteous. They have much to be self-righteous about. They—at least, those who were not raised as vegetarians, which is most of them in the US—have been conscientious enough to examine the prevailing habits of their culture objectively and to endure the discomforts of changing life-long habits and the comfort foods their mothers so lovingly prepared for them. Finally, I'm not sure what you mean when you say SOME humans cannot thrive on a vegetarian diet, but I have a hunch you're talking about the blood type diet promoted by Mercola and others. It is a ludicrous theory (I wrote one of my early student papers on it ["As Simple as AB"] which can be found at http://www.vset.net. More thorough debunkings can be found elsewhere on the net.


Through integration of Vendor-related assets from Unity Asset Store, build a new Unity3D Project that has Managers of those features. Managers can be Weapons Manager, Suits and Costume Manager for player (for example), Insects Manager, Bugs Manager, Dangerous Olants Manager, to name a few.
In this first project built from Scratch just 3 Managers into your RPG from scratch.
Successfully chosen bidder will need show a demo on his PC one of these 3 Manager is do-able by him or her, before I create the 1st 50% Milestone. And then send me TeamViewer or Anydesk credentials to go on a tour on his PC to demonstrate that he can do it. And then I create the 1st 50% milestone and then he goes subsequently onto building the 3 Managers in full.
Else no point placing milestone on someone who cannot do, and later just look to cancel the project.
Because this "is not a gamble" or a casino. The chosen bidder must be able to demo he can do, before the 1st 50% milestone even gets created for him.


installation or is it a clean install of the operating system?
You are correct. I reinstalled 10.3 and now idea 3.0.5 launches and appears to run fine. I'm downloading the latest EAP to check it out and I think it will probably work fine as well.
I think it will probably work fine as well.

He is so ready. So much excitement.
When my little clients first arrive I ask them, what we are doing today? They either answer with a shoulder shrug or "pictures". To which I say, well, I hope we do more than take pictures. I hope we have FUN! I'm fairly certain I didn't stop laughing the whole session with this guy.
Mama told me they had a special morning together before their session and I knew it was more than pictures. Kindergarten is the beginning of the second part of their [and your] story. She will always remember their morning, just the two of them, every time she sees these photographs. And if we are lucky, so will he.


The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) has established harmonized standards in order to standardize the quality control of construction product manufacturing, guarantee free trade and ensure the unlimited use of qualified products within the European Union.
CPR requires all metal producing and processing companies wanting to sell construction products in the European Union to certify their factory production control (FPC). Manufacturers of hot-rolled steel products or aluminum components, for example, need FPC in compliance with the harmonized specification EN 1090-1.All construction products meant for the European market must be CPR compliant with the main focus primarily on written "Declaration of Performance" and modified CE marking . TÜV Rheinland is recognized as one of the first notified bodies for the EN 1090 standard and provides help in handling practical issues and regulatory demands in order for, construction products to be sold across the EU.
Benefit from TÜV Rheinlandour industry leading expertise and experience.
ContactPlease feel free to contact us at TÜV Rheinland to learn more about how our EN 1090 compliance services can benefit your company!
TÜV Rheinland provides services to fulfill prerequisites and is happy to assist in any way.
When all prerequisites are fulfilled, manufacturers can apply for certification according to EN 1090.
TÜV Rheinland coordinates the entire factory production control system certification process and conducts the inspection.
If all required criteria are met, factory production certification will be issued.
If on-going compliance with EN 1090 is needed, TÜV Rheinland is able to provide regular monitoring.
TÜV Rheinland is one of the Notified Bodies (NBs) working within the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) authorized to carry out performance and conformity certification of construction products and materials. TÜV Rheinland also qualifies to function as a designated Technical Assessment Body (TAB) able to issue both the European Technical Assessment (ETA) and the National Technical Assessment documents in accordance with CPR or national regulations.
On 1. July 2013, the European Construction Products Regulation (CPR) replaced the Construction Products Directive (CPD). Since then, all construction products on the market must be CPR compliant with special emphasis being placed on written declaration of performance and modified CE marking. CPR provides distribution requirements for construction products covered by harmonized technical specifications.
Requirements for construction products in non-harmonized areas vary from country to country according to national competence. But, all companies producing and processing metalworking under construction supervision must be certified according to EN 1090-1.

Approximately 600 of South Florida's social notables, philanthropists and professionals showed off their dazzling denim while dancing the night away at the 6th Annual Fancy Jeans Party sponsored by Steve Savor, presented by Breakthru Beverage and Vertical Bridge Charitable Network on April 1st at Revolution Live in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. Produced by Events by Vento Designs, the fabulous Fancy Jeans Party raised over $165,000 for the Jessica June Children's Cancer Foundation (JJCCF). Karen Alba was most outstanding raffle volunteer- raising over $4000 of the total. Proceeds from the event will benefit children fighting cancer in the South Florida tri-county area.
"It takes a village to make the magic! We had an outstanding team contributing to the Fancy Jeans success. I commend committee members, volunteers and staff for their tireless effort throughout the past months leading to the event and thank sponsors, guests and contributors for their support. South Florida families in crisis battling pediatric cancer are the winners who will benefit from 100% of the event proceeds. Knowing these families will be helped during their darkest moments, represents a great sense of satisfaction for everyone involved." said Sandra Muvdi, Founder and President of JJCCF.
This year's child honoree was Veronica Avila, an 11-year-old survivor of Osteosarcoma (bone cancer). JJCCF assisted Veronica's family with necessary financial aid to cover medical bills and groceries while she was in treatment. The Fancy Jeans Child Honorees gets to invite a celebrity to the event and JJCCF does everything possible to make it happen. Veronica's wish was for Ellen DeGeneres to be her guest at the Fancy Jeans Party. On stage at the event, Veronica was first surprised with the granting of her second wish; a Disney family vacation package. Then "Genie" was asked if Veronica's wish to meet Ellen DeGeneres would come true. As the audience waited in suspense, she was surprised with a package including a handwritten note from Ellen inviting Veronica to meet her in LA, VIP tickets to her show along with Ellen swag. Thanks to the generosity of the Ellen Show, Veronica, her mother and sister would be traveling across the country to meet Ellen in Los Angeles just one week after the event. Veronica got more than a wish! She was interviewed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 11th, received an iPad and a $10,000 check for her college education so she can fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor and helping others.
The evening featured open bar and treats from several of South Florida's most popular restaurants, a "Best Dressed Fancy Jeans" contest, a fabulous raffle and silent auction. Spectacular entertainment sponsored by the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino bedazzled guests throughout the evening. The unique interactive entertainment included "Hora Loca (Crazy Hour)" which brought together people from all walks of life dancing and singing with international carnival performers; and LED dancing robots, hanging aerial silk performer, and live body painting.
The Fancy Jeans Party is JJCCF's signature event and a major source of funding for its Emergency Financial Assistance Program. In its history, the event has raised over $718,000. The funds will help South Florida families fighting childhood cancer meet their everyday basic needs such as food, shelter, utilities and medical expenses.


UFW Stories: "Teaching "La Causa""
In 1984 I heard Cesar speak at CSULA about the boycott on grapes. I began a mission to educate family and friends about the boycott using the Wrath of Grapes video. Years later I found myself teaching 3rd grade using a district core literate book called Cesar Chavez y La Causa (a bilingual class). It was then when I realized that the mission became much bigger than the boycott, it was now about LA CAUSA and UFW. The school went through a name change in 1994 from Colmar to Cesar E. Chavez Elementary. In a span of 3 years (1996-1998) over 150 students from this elementary school went to La Paz in Keene Ca. to learn more about the farm workers and visit the grave site. So in 2011 it was great to see pages in a text book (1st grade) write about the farmworkers and Cesar in greater detail then just a sentence or two. Now, I can proudly say, that the whole school learns about La Causa, UFW and Cesar Chavez. It's a good feeling to know that the future students of Cesar E. Chavez Elementary will learn about the farmworkers and UFW.
