An attorney and political scientist by training, Lederle had worked as an administrator at the University of Michigan for a number of years before accepting the presidency at UMass in 1960.

In addition to information on Lederle's involvement with including state government and national professional groups, the collection includes personal correspondence, speeches, bibliographies of writings, biographical information, a transcript of an oral history describing his administration, and materials relating to his professional activities that followed his presidency.

Background on John W Lederle
John Lederle, 1960
Born May 26, 1912 in Royal Oak, Michigan, Lederle received his A.B. (1933), A.M. (1934), LL.B. (1936), and Ph.D. (1942), all from the University of Michigan. Admitted to the Michigan Bar in 1936, he worked for a law firm in Detroit from 1936 to 1940 before accepting a position at Brown University as professor of political science and assistant dean (1941-1944). He returned to the University of Michigan in 1944, filling a number of professional roles over the next sixteen years, and was admitted to practice law before the United States Supreme Court in 1947.
The Board of Trustees of the University of Massachusetts selected Lederle as President of the University in 1960, seeking to build on the transition from an agricultural college to a full research university that had begun under the administration of John Paul Mather. His vision and political skill, combined with good timing and the availability of generous federal and state funding enabled a radical transformation of the university. During a decade in office, Lederle oversaw a growth in enrollment from just under 6,500 to over 21,000; an increase in the number of graduate students from 901 to 2,240; and an increase in the number of faculty from 768 to 3,500 to go with nearly a tripling in the number of graduate programs from 16 to 44. Equally importantly, Lederle helped give rise to the University of Massachusetts system, including founding the medical school at Worcester in 1962 and the establishing UMass Boston in 1964. The budget grew under his watch nearly 700%, exceeding one hundred million dollars in 1970.
The curricular transformation that Lederle oversaw was extraordinary, over and above the cultural transformations that accompanied student life in the 1960s. During his time in Amherst, the Polymer Research Institute was formed as was the Labor Relations and Research Center, the Research Computing Center, the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory, the Water Resources Research Center, and the Fine Arts Center. Departments were modernized by the addition of dozens of new faculty per year and student life was transformed through the creation of overseas programs in England, Germany, Italy, Spain, and France; the founding of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter; and the Committee for the Collegiate Education of Black Students. Lederle's tenure at UMass left an equally strong impact on the physical plant. Seventy buildings were built during his decade at the helm, and eight more were under construction when he left office. Among these were the numerous brutalist interventions that transformed with appearance of campus and that symbolized the turn away from the university's agricultural roots.
Lederle was influential well beyond the university and was deeply involved in higher education initiatives at the state and national levels. Among many other commitments, he was a member of the Board of Trustees at the Clarke School for the Deaf from 1975-1986; a member of the executive committee of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges from 1967-1970; a member of the Board of Trustees of Hampshire College from 1965-1970; a member of the Massachusetts Board of Regional Community Colleges from 1960-1970; a member of the Advisory Board of Higher Education Policy from 1962-1965; chair of the Advisory Commission of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education from 1966-1970; and a member of the New England Board of Higher Education from 1961-1973. Upon his resignation from the presidency in 1970, the Board appointed Lederle the Joseph B. Ely Professor of Government, serving in that capacity until his retirement in 1982..
Lederle held honorary degrees from Amherst, Holy Cross, Boston University, Hokkaido University of Japan, University of Massachusetts, Northeastern, and Lowell State College. He has served on a number of U.S. Congressional special committees, and Massachusetts educational boards. He died in Naples, Fla., on Feb. 13, 2007.

The papers of John W. Lederle document chiefly his tenure as the University of Massachusetts' sixteenth president from 1960-1970, a decade of rapid growth resulting in dramatic increases in the number of the University's physical structures; in the variety of its academic programs and offerings; and in the size of its staff, faculty, and student body. The collection spans the years 1947-1983, with the majority of materials dating from the period of Dr. Lederle's presidency, and includes professional correspondence, administrative records, subject files, committee notes, reports, and clippings. Administrative records document the operation of the Amherst Campus as well as the development of two new campuses: the Boston Campus and the Medical School Campus in Worcester. These records provide details about the University's buildings, accreditation, finances, colleges and schools, faculty governance, campus newspapers and radio, cooperation with the Five Colleges, and students, including information on student unrest during the 1960s.
Extra-University records document Dr. Lederle's involvement and interactions with governmental and non-governmental organizations at the state, regional, and national levels. In particular, Dr. Lederle was involved with the Board of Higher Education, the Higher Education Facilities Commission, state agencies such as Administration and Finance, the New England Center for Continuing Education, and federal agencies such as the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The collection also contains Dr. Lederle's personal correspondence, speeches, bibliographies of his writings, biographical information, a transcript of an oral history describing his administration, and materials relating to his professional activities that followed his presidency.
Finally, the papers include a series of confidential records consisting mainly of personnel files. These materials are restricted and there is no container list for the series in this finding aid.
This collection is organized into six series:
Series 1. Personal Papers, 1960-1983
Series 2. UMass Amherst, 1947-1982
Series 3. UMass Boston, 1964-1982
Series 4. UMass Medical School, ca.1960-1970
Series 5. Extra-University, 1954-1972
4 linear feet, 9 boxes
Reflected in biographical materials are details of President Lederle's education; academic positions at Brown University, the University of Michigan, and the University of Massachusetts; his experience as a lawyer and a member of Michigan State government; activities in professional organizations; service to academic and governmental organizations on committees and commissions, in workshops and seminars, and as a consultant and advisor. The transcript of an oral history interview provides an overview of the Lederle years and adds color to the information provided by the papers. Documents and memorabilia concerning President Lederle's inauguration, testimonials following his resignation, and honors and awards are included in this series as are bibliographies of his writings and news releases. Correspondence with friends and colleagues outside the University are arranged by date so that references to events can be more easily located. There is a small quantity of miscellaneous correspondence, mostly in answer to complaints from parents and others, which is arranged alphabetically. A folder of letters to newspapers illustrates the president's public relations skills. Annual reports from 1960 to 1970, speeches and notes, and appointment books complete the material on the presidential years, but there is also information on teaching and university service during Dr. Lederle's tenure as Joseph B. Ely Professor of Government until 1982 and on extra-university service through 1979.
13 linear feet, 27 boxes
Subseries 1. Administration. This subseries concerns the operation of the Amherst Campus primarily, but information about the development of the Boston Campus and Medical School will also be found here, particularly under Dean of Administration Leo Redfern, the Treasurer, and the Provost.

There are many heading for buildings and many for planning because of the different groups and agencies involved in these activities. Financial matters may have to be tracked under headings of Budget, Capital Outlay, Budgeting and Institutional Studies, and Treasurer as well as under buildings, planning, or other topics as appropriate. An exchange of memos may be partly under the area concerned and partly under the administrative officer involved. President Lederle's views on a subject may be found in personal correspondence in Series 1/2. Materials in the folders on the law firm Ely, Bartlett, Brown and Proctor, on trustees, and on Secretary of the University illuminate many topics.
Subseries 2. Schools, Colleges, Departments and Programs.

This series documents the establishment of the University of Massachusetts campus in Boston from the introduction of legislation in 1964. In folder 460 correspondence November 1981-March 1982 between President Lederle and Professor Richard M. Freeland contains President Lederle's views and describes some of the difficulties in this undertaking. Legislative battles and support and opposition by educational institutions, newspapers, and others has considerable coverage. Consultants' studies for temporary and permanent locations are included, as are the views of politicians and others as covered in the many newspaper clippings. Financing the project, partially by federal funding, is covered. There is material on task forces and committees established to develop policy, organization, staffing, curriculum, and student services and to search for academic and administrative leadership. Admissions and some student activities receive attention.
ca.1960-1970
From 1951 the Board of Trustees had considered establishing a medical school. This series includes reports dating from 1956 regarding the need for public medical and dental education and the introduction and support of legislation in 1960. Studies and correspondence with consultants and advisors, opponents and supporters. Letters and newsclippings describe the many controversies that arose, such as the one over the delays and increased costs that nearly brought the project to a halt in 1969. After a successful legislative battle over additional funding the ground breaking ceremony took place October 23, 1969. There was an investigation into the selection of architects, problems in getting a design that would meet with HEW approval for funding, and heated battles over location, with Worcester selected as a compromise. Material on the selection of a dean fills several folders. Removal of the state salary ceiling to enable recruitment of medical teaching and administrative staff required another legislative battle.
9 linear feet, 18 boxes
This series concerns the University's interactions with governmental and non-governmental organizations in the Commonwealth, New England and the nation. Within the Commonwealth of particular importance is the material concerning legislative action:
The Autonomy Bill H.3350 became Chapter 648, signed into law July 11, 1962. To gain greater flexibility in the management of University affairs, particularly in the area of budget, purchasing, personnel, including salary ranges (both of the automatic and discretionary type) and construction.
Trust Fund Bill S.113 became Chapter 877, signed into law January 7, 1966. To clarify the authority of the Board of Trustees to control trust funds in accordance with the Autonomy Bill.

In this e-update we step employers through the true nature casual employment, recent developments and remind employers about key issues associated with casual employees.
What is Casual Employment?
Casual employment is not a new category of employment, however, defining casual employment has been an ongoing task for courts and tribunals in Australia for decades.
There are range of factors that are relevant to assessing whether a casual employment relationship is truly casual and, in each case, these factors can weigh differently. Thankfully, there are a few key attributes of casual employment that have crystallised over the years, including:
The ad-hoc, short term nature of casual employment;
The payment of a casual loading; and
The absence of a firm commitment to future work.
Where a casual employment relationship is not truly casual, the employment is often described as regular and systematic casual employment.
When a casual employee is a regular and systematic casual employee, they may be able to access certain entitlements not typically available to true casual employees.
Case law can assist in distinguishing between a true casual employee and a regular and systematic employee.
For example, in Bayley v Temples (WA) Pty Ltd T/A Temples WA [2016] FWC 2727 a truck driver, who was employed on a casual basis to relieve other truck drivers was found to be employed on a regular and systematic basis notwithstanding that his hours varied from week to week and he took a break of three weeks from working for the employer.
In determining that the truck driver was a regular and systematic casual employee, the Fair Work Commission (FWC) found that the weekly nature of the work, the extent to which it generally started at the same time, involved similar functions and occurred for similar reasons were all factors that spoke to the regular and systematic nature of the employee's casual employment.
A similar conclusion was reached in Kneen-McDaid v Jaycorp Pty Ltd T/A Homestart [2017] FWC 1819 where a telemarketer was found to be a regular and systematic casual employee. In that case, the telemarketer worked various hours, ranging from between about 20 hours per week to 70 hours per week, including various start and finish times on various days of the week. The FWC held that, despite the variation in hours and times of work, the employee had worked consistently during the period of her employment and was therefore a regular and systematic casual employee.
There are also a number of decisions confirming that breaks between periods of casual employment do not necessarily disrupt the regular and systematic nature of the casual employment, even when the worker is a seasonal worker (Grey v Ardmona Foods – T0994 [2000] AIRC 338).
In essence, a casual employee will not be a true casual employee if they work regularly and consistently over an extended period, notwithstanding that their hours may vary.
Recent developments in casual employment
Casual loading offsets – WorkPac v Skene
The principles of what casual employment is were further examined in the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia decision of WorkPac Pty Ltd v Skene [2018] FCAFC 131 (Skene).
In summary, the employee was employed by WorkPac (a labour-hire business) to carry out duties as a dump-truck driver at a number of mining sites. He was employed pursuant to a contract of employment that identified him as a casual employee. He worked on a rotating roster that was set twelve months in advance and consisted of twelve-hour days, with seven days on and seven days off. He was paid a flat rate of $50 (eventually increased to $55) for his work.
Upon termination of his employment, the employee claimed he was not a casual employee but was, in fact, a permanent employee and therefore entitled to payment for accrued but untaken annual leave.
In determining whether or not the employee was a casual employee, the Full Court undertook an extensive analysis of the relevant case law. It confirmed the long-held view that true casual employment is irregular, uncertain, unpredictable and intermittent with a discontinuity in the pattern of work, including the absence of a firm advanced commitment to work.
On the evidence before it, the Full Court determined that the employee was a permanent employee and therefore entitled to payment of accrued but untaken annual leave upon termination of his employment.
One of the key issues to come out of Skene was the ability of employers to offset payments made for casual loading to employees who are later found to be permanent employees.
Understandably, the concern amongst employers has been that, absent any ability to claim an offset for casual loading payments made, employees could effectively "double-dip" by keeping the casual loading and then having entitlements provided in addition.
In Skene, the ability of the employer to claim an offset failed on the basis that there was no clear indication that the employee was paid a casual loading at all – the rate was referred to as an hourly rate not specifying a casual loading component.
Fair Work Amendment (Casual Loading Offset) Regulations 2018
In response to this concern, the Federal Government passed the Fair Work Amendment (Casual Loading Offset) Regulations 2018, to clarify the position in relation to employers who wished to claim an offset in these circumstances.
The position is therefore that, where an identifiable loading is paid in lieu of any entitlement under the National Employment Standards under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act), an employer is entitled to seek to offset that loading if it turns out that the employee did have such an entitlement.
This applies to all employment relationships irrespective of whether or not they existed at the time these amendments were made.
Modern awards
Casual conversion
In October 2018, most modern awards were amended to include a model clause dealing with the right of casual employees to request conversion to permanent employment (4-yearly review of modern awards – common issues – part time employment and casual employment [2018] FWCFB 4695).
In short, the model clause states that a "regular casual employee" has the right to request that their employment be converted to permanent full-time or part-time employment. A "regular casual employee" is defined as a casual employee who, for the last twelve months, has worked a pattern of hours on an ongoing basis which, without significant adjustment, the employee could continue to perform as a permanent employee.
The model clause requires that requests for casual conversion be made to an employer in writing and that an employer consult with the employee who has made the request. Requests may be refused after consultation where there are reasonable grounds for the refusal.
Minimum engagement
Also, in October 2018, many modern awards were amended to clarify minimum engagement periods for casual (and part-time) employees.
For those awards that did not already stipulate this, a model clause was inserted which states that the minimum engagement period for casual (and part-time) employees is now two hours.
Possible claims
Casual employment is a popular choice for employers who want flexibility, however, with casual employment comprising approximately of 25% of the Australian workforce (Australian Bureau of Statistics, Characteristics of Employment, Australia, August 2018) it is also timely to remind employers about possible claims that casual employees can make against employers.
Some employers may have a misapprehension that casual employees are not able to make any claims either during their employment or upon termination. However, like full-time and part-time employees, casual employees are entitled to make claims relating to their employment.
The FW Act provides protections for casual employees against unfair dismissal and adverse action.
To access the unfair dismissal jurisdiction, the FW Act stipulates that an employee (casual or otherwise) must have:
(a) completed the minimum employment period of six months (or one year for a small business employer); and
(b) be covered by a modern award or enterprise agreement and earn less than the high-income threshold.
For casual employees, service as a casual employee will not count towards the minimum employment period unless the casual employee was:
employed on a regular and systematic basis; an
had a reasonable expectation of continuing employment with the employer on a regular and systematic basis.
As discussed above, the absence of these two factors have been used to describe what is casual employment. The converse is also true, as demonstrated in Cetin v Ripon Pty Ltd T/A Parkview Hotel (2003) 127 IR 205 where the Australian Industrial Relations Commission Full Bench held:
"…the informality, uncertainty and irregularity of an engagement supports a conclusion that the employment has the characteristic of being casual. Conversely regular and systematic engagements with a reasonable expectation of continuing employment are usually not characteristic of casual employment."
In Smith v Goldfields People Hire Pty Ltd ATF Goldfields People Hire Trust T/A GPH Recruitment [2017] FWC 6730, the employer raised a number of jurisdictional objections to the employee's unfair dismissal application, including relevantly that the employee was a casual employee and had no reasonable expectation of continuing employment
The employee was employed as a casual driver for the labour hire employer. During his employment he was engaged to drive trucks for a third party. The employee worked
regular shifts on a four day on, four day off roster working between 4:30am to 6pm between November 2016 to April 2017; and
shifts over a three-week roster cycle between April 2017 and September 2017 with varying start and finishing times.
The employer argued that the employee was a casual employee and had no reasonable expectation of his employment continuing on a regular and systematic basis. The employer pointed to the labour hire employment conditions that the employee signed at the commencement of employment acknowledging that he was employed on assignment basis and that there was no expectation of permanent employment.
The employee argued that, other than during periods of training or authorised leave, he worked a regular roster system with a clear pattern of rostered hours and days.
The FWC noted that an expectation of permanent employment differed from an expectation of continuing employment and that working on an assignment basis for a third party did not preclude him from having an expectation that his employment with the employer would continue.
The FWC dismissed the employer's jurisdictional objection. It held that the employee was employed on a regular and systematic basis and that the employee had an expectation that his employment would continue on a regular and systematic basis.
Evidently, provided that a casual employee has completed the minimum employment period, that casual employee will be entitled to press their claim for unfair dismissal.
Unlike the unfair dismissal jurisdiction, all employees, including casual employees are covered by the general protections provisions. There are no threshold requirements to access this jurisdiction and employees do not have to meet any requirements to make a claim (such as period of service).
Generally, the general protections provisions provide that a "person" must not take adverse action against another "person", including because of a workplace right, the person's sex, age or race or other protected attribute or because the person is temporarily absent from work due to illness or injury. A person can include an employee, prospective employee, an independent contractor and a prospective independent contractor.
For example, in Kennewell v MG & CG Atkins trading as Cardinia Waste & Recyclers [2015] FCA 716 (Kennewell decision), a casual truck driver claimed that he was dismissed from his employment after he made inquiries to his employer about his status of employment and complaints that he was not being paid minimum entitlements under the Waste Management Award 2010. The employer denied this and submitted the employee was dismissed on the basis of his performance, including that he took too long to perform his duties. The employer also had a history of complaints being made to the Fair Work Ombudsman in relation to the underpayment of entitlements.
The Federal Court of Australia found that employer contravened the general protections of the FW Act when it dismissed the casual employee from his employment because the employee made complaints regarding the payment of his full entitlements. The employer was ordered to pay $2,900.85 to the employee and a penalty of $7,500 for the contravention.
As the Kennewell decision also demonstrates, casual employees can also make underpayment claims to the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO). Like all other employees, employers must ensure that casual employees are paid their minimum entitlements, including casual loading and overtime rates, and are paid for the minimum hours of work.
Casual employees are also not precluded from making other claims in relation to their employment, including bullying claims, workers compensation claims or discrimination claims. For example, the anti-bullying jurisdiction under the FW Act applies to "workers", using the same broad definition as the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) to include any individual who carries out work in any capacity. Similarly, State and Federal anti-discrimination legislation prohibit employers from discriminating against employees or prospective employees on the basis of a protected attribute.
With the renewed focus on the nature of casual employment, it is timely for employers to examine the casual employment arrangements that they may have in place.
Employers should firstly conduct an audit of their casual workforce and assess whether these employees are appropriately classified as "casuals". If they are regular and systematic casuals, employers should assess whether it is more appropriate for them to be employed as part-time or full-time employees.
A review of casual employment contracts should be undertaken to ensure that casual engagements are appropriately described, including, for example, that employment will be on an ad hoc basis and separately identifying the casual loading to be paid to compensate for paid leave entitlements.
Employers should also familiarise themselves with the new and changing entitlements under modern awards, including for example, the new two hour minimum engagement period for casual employees which has been inserted into awards that did not previously have minimum daily engagement periods, and any penalty rates changes and their interaction with casual loading.
Employers should also be prepared for dealing with casual conversion requests, including the obligation to notify casual employees of their right to request conversion and responding to requests by casual employees for conversion to full-time or part-time employment.

Atlanta punks The Coathangers kick off their huge European tour this week with a twisted video for the nautically nonsensical "Captain's Dead" single. The purveyors of everything grimy and brash combine Kiss style makeup with Stephen King-esque horror scenes for a video that is both freaky and hilariously kitsch.
"Captain's Dead" is The Coathangers' response to the tumultuous political climate of America at the end of 2016. The video feels like the scripting of a personal nightmare. The combination is unapologetically mutinous.
"Captain's Dead" is taken from the forthcoming Parasite EP, a whimsical collection of pirate-punk shanties out 30th June 2017 via Suicide Squeeze.
If the new video has wet your appetite for all things seafaring then The Coathangers will be playing 10 UK dates starting this week in Manchester.
Tickets are available from the band's official site.
The Coathangers are also playing throughout Europe finishing at the Sideways festival in Helsinki on 10th June 2017.
You can view the new video for "Captain's Dead" below.


Australia captain Meg Lanning expects more runs and bigger scores in T20Is with four-fielders rule.
Australia Women continued their victorious run on their tour of India by defeating India Women by six wickets in the first Twenty20 International of the tri-series, also involving England, at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
Replying to India's 152/5, which they put up after being asked to bat by Australia, the visitors strolled to an easy six-wicket victory, scoring 156/4 with 11 balls spare.
After Jhulan Goswami dismissed Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner early in the Australian innings, Beth Mooney and Elyse Villani put together a 79-run stand for the third wicket, which effectively took the game away from India.
After Villani returned a catch to Poonam Yadav with Australia still needing 44 runs from 6.5 overs, captain Meg Lanning took it upon herself to finish the chase and remained unbeaten on 35.
However, Lanning batted lower than she usually does, coming in at No.5. After the game, she revealed the move was to get an early hold of the game and improve the balance of the side. "Yeah, a little bit lower than usual (the batting position), but I thought both Ash and Elyse who came in during the Powerplay did a good job and took the game on for us," she said. "I thought we were able to get ahead of the game early, which was good.
Meanwhile, India succumbed to their fourth consecutive defeat to Australia in limited-overs cricket, having lost the three-match ODI series 3-0. India welcomed back Goswami, who returned an excellent 3/30, but despite that, the Indian attack couldn't pose Australia too many problems.
Veda Krishnamurthy and Anuja Patil revived the Indian innings after the hosts were 100/4 in the 15th over and helped the team scale a 150-plus total. Kaur acknowledged their efforts but called for more support from other batters.
Australia take on England at the same venue on Friday in the second match of the tri-series.


It can certainly be argued that Nobu was at the forefront of the sushi craze that has taken over North America (and by extension, the western world). It's first restaurant was opened in 1994, through a partnership between famous restaurantuers, celebrities and Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. With 30 restaurants as of 2014, that initial restaurant has certainly been parlayed into a successful restaurant group. It's easy to say that Nobu benefited from the rise in popularity of sushi, but I'm not so sure it's that simple; Nobu introduced a generation of foodies to sushi, while still offering more standard high-end menu options that they might have been used to.
The food is described by Nobu as being Japanese with peruvian influences. In layman's terms, there is sushi, as well as cooked fish from South America with Japanese flavors. Nobu's most famous dish is their black cod miso (pictured right), which has been duplicated many times over at similar types of restaurants (read: Zuma). That said, it's still phenomenal and a must get. Another delicious non-sushi dish is the squid pasta, mainly because of how unique it is (pictured right).
From a sushi perspective (and why else would you be here if not for sushi), Nobu has a few signature dishes that aren't necessarily so traditional. Spicy Tuna crispy rice is literally everything I hate about Americanized Japanese food. It's fried rice squares served with a pre-mixed bowl of "spicy tuna". And yet, the dish is still delicious.
The other "signature" sushi dish is Nobu's "New Style Sashimi" (pictured right). It comes with a variety of fish, but the result is the same - pieces of sashimi, covered with oils and spices and flash fried. Not to get all deep, but this is a dish that honours traditional Japanese sushi while still updating it for a more modern flair. It's since been sort of incorporated at high-end sushi restaurants in omakase offering - for example, the next time that you wonder if the blowtorched amberjack is a time-honoured Japanese tradition, think of Nobu's New Style Sashimi.
That said, it's hard to go to Nobu without comparing it to other sushi restaurants, and in that regard, Nobu begins to feel dated from a sushi perspective. The offerings on the sushi menu are much more standard than you'd expect, which makes the decision to charge so much for nigiri even more ridiculous. Seriously - Bluefin Toro was $20 per piece for nigiri. Some of you might be offended that they were advertising "Bluefin Tuna". I was offended that they were charging $20 for something that wasn't even labelled as "chu-toro" (sushi snob alert).
Even The Atmosphere is dated. Though the decor is beautiful, closer inspection shows there is some wear and tear. That said, the service was by far the biggest problem - our meal took approximately 90 minutes to get all of our food, which shouldn't happen, especially at a restaurant as experienced as Nobu. And forget about asking the waiters for water or anything else - they seemed completely disinterested. When you've been around as long as Nobu, and dealt with as many customers as they have, I'm not surprised that the service standards begin to wane just a little bit.
I imagine that Nobu appeals mainly to tourists, and it does offer a good meal all else considered. But this is a sushi blog, and in that area, Nobu falls short. I would recommend multiple other places before Nobu if sushi is what you are looking for.
So here's the thing about Nobu...it's legendary - and it's been passed by.

Pit Bull saves young girl from falling off deadly 60-foot cliff
It's really amazing how animals can sense when someone's in trouble. This is especially true for dogs, who possess this ability to detect subtle changes in the mood of their owners and those around them. That is the reason why these noble creatures make great service animals who assist people with disabilities.
A quick-thinking Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Max helped in saving a 14-year-old girl's life by running away from his owner and leading him to the 60-foot-cliff where the young lady was seen sitting. The moment George Conner, Max's human daddy, noticed his dog was acting strange, he knew it was a warning that something wasn't right. He followed Max to the spot known as a home of several suicides over the years.
"Being the nosey guy that he is, he started whining and pulling on his lead," Conner told the Daily Mail. "I could see a shape and thought it might be some rubbish, but when we got closer I saw someone was sitting up there on the cliff ledge."
The dog stayed by the girl's side until the police arrived making sure she was fine all along. No one really knew how much time she had spent sitting there, but judging from her condition and the fact that her body's temperature was getting low, it was quite a lot.
"The officers went over to the cliff edge and tried to get her attention but she wasn't moving. So they decided to pull her through the fence and away from the edge," Conner said. "She wasn't really coherent. It looked like she was suffering from hypothermia and the police said her eyes were rolling back into her head."
"It's anyone's guess how long she had been up there. She was sitting on a part of the cliff where, if she had passed out and fallen, she would have died."
The poor girl was rushed at the Royal Sussex County Hospital where she was given the medical care she needed. Luckily, her condition is now stable and she's expected to make a full recovery. Conner is happy she's going to be just fine and is glad his dog could feel she needed help. He said:
"A police officer came up to me and said, 'you've saved her life,' but I said, 'no I didn't, it was Max who found her.'"
Max has been Conner's loyal companion for six years, and those are probably the best six years of this man's life. Well, who wouldn't love spending their days around a smart and lovable dog like Max.
"He's got a great temperament and is a very friendly dog who is always ten steps ahead of the game," Conner said. "If I'm ever ill he always notices. I don't know if I would have found her without him."

Chairman Menendez, Ranking Member DeMint, and distinguished members of the Subcommittee, I thank you for the invitation to appear at today's important hearing. I am Mark Calabria, Director of Financial Regulation Studies at the Cato Institute, a nonprofit, non-partisan public policy research institute located here in Washington, DC. Before I begin my testimony, I would like to make clear that my comments are solely my own and do not represent any official policy positions of the Cato Institute. In addition, outside of my interest as a citizen, homeowner and taxpayer, I have no direct financial interest in the subject matter before the Committee today, nor do I represent any entities that do.
The U.S. housing market remains weak, with both homes sales and construction activity considerably below trend. Despite sustained low mortgage rates, housing activity has remained sluggish in the first half of 2011. Although activity will likely be above 2010 levels, 2011 is expected to fall below 2009 levels and is unlikely to reach levels seen during the boom for a number of years. In fact I believe it will be at least until 2014 until we see construction levels approach those of the boom. As other witnesses are likely to provide their economic forecasts of housing activity, which are generally within the consensus estimates, I will not repeat that exercise here.
As in any market, prices and quantities sold in the housing market are driven by the fundamentals of supply and demand. The housing market faces a significant oversupply of housing, which will continue to weigh on both prices and construction activity. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York estimates that oversupply to be approximately 3 million units. Given that annual single family starts averaged about 1.3 million over the last decade, it should be clear that despite the historically low current level of housing starts, we still face a glut of housing. NAHB estimates that about 2 million of this glut is the result of "pent-up" demand, leaving at least a million units in excess of potential demand1. Add to that another 1.6 million mortgages that are at least 90 days late. My rough estimate is about a fourth of those are more than two years late and will most likely never become current.
The homeowner vacancy rate, after increasing from the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2010 to the 4th quarter of 2010, declined to 2.5 percent in the 2nd quarter of 2011, a number still in considerable excess of the historic average.
The homeowner vacancy rate, one of the more useful gauges of excess supply, differs dramatically across metro areas. At one extreme, Orlando has an owner vacancy rate approaching 6 percent, whereas Allentown, PA has a rate of 0.5 percent. Other metro with excessive high owner vacancy rates include: Toledo OH (5.5), Las Vegas (5.1), Raleigh, NC (5.0), Riverside CA and Jacksonville FL. Relatively tight owner markets include: Springfield MA (0.7), San Jose CA (0.9), and Honolulu HI (1.0).
The number of vacant for sale or rent units has increased, on net, by around 1 million units from 2005 to 2011. Of equal concern is that the number of vacant units "held off the market" has increased by about 1.5 million since 2005. In all likelihood, many of these units will re-enter the market once prices stabilize.
Household incomes place a general ceiling on long-run housing prices. Production costs set a floor on the price of new homes. As Professors Edward Glaeser and Joseph Gyourko have demonstrated2, housing prices have closely tracked production costs, including a reasonable return for the builder, over time. In fact the trend has generally been for prices to about equal production costs. In older cities, with declining populations, productions costs are often in excess of replacement costs. After 2002, this relationship broken down, as prices soared in relation to costs, which also included the cost of land3. As prices, in many areas, remain considerably above production costs, there is little reason to believe that new home prices will not decline further.
The percentage of mortgages on which foreclosure proceedings were initiated during the second quarter was 0.96 percent, 12 basis points down from 2001 Q1 and down 15 basis points from 2010 Q2. The percentage of loans in the foreclosure process at the end of the 2nd quarter was 4.43 percent, down slightly at 9 basis points from 2011 Q1 and 14 basis points lower than 2010 Q2. The serious delinquency rate, the percentage of loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure, was 7.85 percent, a decrease of 25 basis points from 2011 Q1, and a decrease of 126 basis points from 2010 Q2. The combined percentage of loans in foreclosure or at least one payment past due was 12.54 percent on a non-seasonally adjusted basis, a 23 basis point increase from 2011 Q1, but was 143 basis points lower than 2010 Q2.
In transitioning from a government-dominated to market-driven mortgage system, we face the choice of either a gradual transition or a sudden "big bang." While I am comfortable with believing that the remainder of the financial services industry could quickly assume the functions of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, I recognize this is a minority viewpoint. Practical politics and concern as to the state of the housing market point toward a gradual transition. The question is then, what form should this transition take? One element of this transition should be a gradual, step-wise reduction in the maximum loan limits for the GSEs (and FHA).
If one assumes that higher income households are better able to bear increases in their mortgage costs, and that income and mortgage levels are positively correlated, then reducing the size of the GSEs' footprint via loan limit reductions would allow those households best able to bear this increase to do so. As tax burden and income are also positively correlated, the reduction in potential tax liability from a reduction in loan limits should accrue to the very households benefited most by such a reduction.
Moving beyond issues of "fairness" — in terms of who should be most impacted by a transition away from the GSEs — is the issue of capacity. According to the most recent HMDA data (2009), the size of the current jumbo market (above $729k) is approximately $90 billion. Reducing the loan limit to $500,000 would increase the size of the jumbo market to around $180 billion. Since insured depositories have excess reserves of over $1 trillion, and an aggregate equity to asset ratio of over 11 percent, it would seem that insured depositories would have no trouble absorbing a major increase in the jumbo market.
Moving more of the mortgage sector to banks and thrifts would also insure that there is at least some capital behind our mortgage market. With Fannie, Freddie and FHA bearing most of the credit risk in our mortgage market, there is almost no capital standing between these entities and the taxpayer.
The bottom line is that reducing the conforming loan limit to no more than $500,000, if not going immediately back to $417,000, would represent a fair, equitable and feasible method for transitioning to a more private-sector driven mortgage system. Going forward, the loan limit should be set to fall by $50,000 each year. As this change could be easily reversed, it also represents a relatively safe choice. Reducing the competitive advantage of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac via a mandated increase in their guarantee fees would both help to raise revenues while also helping to "level the playing field" in the mortgage market. Given that the federal taxpayer is covering their losses and backing their debt, along with the suspension of their capital requirements, no private entity can compete with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. We will never be able to move to a more private market approach without reducing, if not outright removing, these taxpayer-funded advantages.
Federal government interventions to increase house prices, including Federal Reserve monetary and asset purchases, have almost exclusively relied upon increasing the demand for housing. The problem with these interventions is they have almost the opposite impact between markets where supply remains tight and those markets with a housing glut. In areas where housing supply is inelastic, that is relatively unresponsive (often the result of land use policies), these programs have indeed slowed price declines. Areas where supply is elastic, where building is relatively easy, have instead seen an increase in supply, rather than price. For these areas the increase in housing supply will ultimately depress prices even further.
There is perhaps no more important economic indicator than unemployment. The adverse impacts of long-term unemployment are well known, and need not be repeated here. Although there is considerable, if not complete, agreement among economists as to the adverse consequences of jobless; there is far less agreement as to the causes of the currently high level of unemployment. To simplify, the differing explanations, and resulting policy prescriptions, regarding the current level of unemployment fall into two categories: 1) unemployment as a result of lack of aggregate demand, and 2) unemployment as the result of structural factors, such as skills mismatch or perverse incentives facing the unemployed. As will be discussed below, I believe the current foreclosures mitigation programs have contributed to the elevated unemployment rate by reducing labor mobility. The current foreclosures mitigation programs have also helped keep housing prices above market-clearing levels, delaying a full correction in the housing market.
Historically many job openings have been filled by workers moving from areas of the country with little job creation to areas with greater job creation. American history has often seen large migrations during times of economic distress. And while these moves have been painful and difficult for the families involved, these same moves have been essential for helping the economy recover. One of the more interesting facets of the recent recession has been a decline in mobility, particular among homeowners, rather than an increase. Between 2008 and 2009, the most recent Census data available, 12.5 percent of households moved, with only 1.6 moving across state lines. Corresponding figures for homeowners is 5.2 percent and 0.8 percent moving across state lines. This is considerably below interstate mobility trends witnessed during the housing boom. For instance from 2004 to 2005, 1.5% of homeowners moved across state lines, almost double the current percentage. Interestingly enough the overall mobility of renters has barely changed from the peak of the housing bubble to today. This trend is a reversal from that witnessed after the previous housing boom of the late 1980s burst. From the peak of the bubble in 1989 to the bottom of the market in 1994, the percentage of homeowners moving across state lines actually increased.
The U.S. housing market is weak and is expected to remain so for some time. Given the importance of housing in our economy, the pressure for policymakers to act has been understandable. Policy should, however, be based upon fostering an unwinding of previous unbalances in our housing markets, not sustaining said unbalances. We cannot go back to 2006, and nor should we desire to. As the size and composition of the housing stock are ultimately determined by demographics, something which policymakers have little influence over in the short run, the housing stock must be allowed to align itself with those underlying fundamentals. Prices should also be allowed to move towards their long run relationship with household incomes. Getting families into homes they could not afford was a major contributor to the housing bubble. We should not seek to repeat that error. We must also recognize that prolonging the correction of the housing market makes the ultimate adjustment worse, not better. Lastly it should be remembered that one effect of boosting prices above their market-clearing levels is the transfer of wealth from potential buyers (renters) to existing owners. As existing owners are, on average, wealthier than renters, this redistribution is clearly regressive.

Q: Any docs for wp_nav_menu's "items_wrap" argument? I'm using wp_nav_menu and am trying to create custom output for the sub-level drop downs.  I came across the "items_wrap" argument but there's really not much information as to what it is, how it works, and what kind of things can be done with it.
What exactly is "%1$s" and "%2$s"?  (Can anyone explain it in layman's terms?)

A: The parameter 'items_wrap' for wp_nav_menu() defaults to:
'
%3$s
'

This a a template that is parsed with sprintf():
$nav_menu .= sprintf(
    $args->items_wrap
,   esc_attr( $wrap_id )    // %1$s
,   esc_attr( $wrap_class ) // %2$s
,   $items                  // %3$s
);

The numbered placeholders – %1$s, %2$s, %3$s – refer to the arguments after the first argument in sprintf(). The percent sign marks a placeholder, the number the position and the type s means it should be treated as a string.
Do not change the type unless you really know what you do. :)

*

*$wrap_id is the parameter 'menu_id' if you have it set, else it is 'menu-' . $menu->slug.

*$wrap_class is the parameter 'menu_class' if you have it set, else it is empty.

*$items is a string of the inner content of the menu.

Let's say you don't need a class. Just omit the second string:
wp_nav_menu( array( 'items_wrap' => '
%3$s
' ) );

If you don't need the class and the id, and you want another container (because you used a custom walker):
wp_nav_menu( array( 'items_wrap' => '
%3$s
' ) );

The main point is: You have to use the numbers for the replacements given in wp_nav_menu(). %3$s is always the list of items.

A: from what i gather it grabs an output and give the li a id and class with the menus name. So when you want to style a particular menu you grab its id and or class if you want to style it. the 1 and 2 is just a different output.

Abstract: Based on a detailed trade-level dataset, we analyze the proprietary trading behavior of German banks in the months directly preceding and following the Lehman collapse in September 2008. The default of Lehman Brothers was a shock to the German banking system that was both unexpected and exogenous. We examine banks' immediate reactions as well as their responses to unconventional monetary policy measures introduced shortly after the event - the introduction of full allotment and the change in eligibility criteria for collateral in central bank refinancing operations. Our results show that market liquidity tightened after the Lehman collapse but there is no evidence of fire sales in the German banking sector. Instead, we observe a broad-based flight to liquidity. The European Central Bank's unconventional monetary policy had a strong impact on banks' trading behavior by inducing shifts towards eligible securities and reducing pressure on market liquidity. This suggests that the ECB's measures contributed to stabilizing the financial system after the Lehman collapse.

Q: WebApi 2 - authorization in multiple simultaneous contexts, REST state management I have a Web Api 2 endpoint which I am trying to secure with a custom Authorize attribute. Inside of that attribute I check if the user has the necessary roles like:
            if (!user.HasRoleInInstitution(institutionId, Role.SomeRole))
            {
                filterContext.Response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized);
                return;
            }

The problem I am having is the institutionId. The endpoint should be accessible in institution context in which every user can have different roles in different institutions so the check should check if the user has roles in the given institution the user is accessing.
I could store the currently accessed institutionId in Session like:
var session = HttpContext.Current.Session;

This however:
A) Is against REST principles as the endpoint should be stateless
B) Sessions access tend to take long so this introduces a performance overhead not tolerable in scenarios like Authorization.
I could also pass the institutionId from the client on every request and then use RouteData to retrieve it in the Attribute like:
var institutionId = filterContext.ControllerContext.RouteData["institutionId"];

The problem with this approach is:
A) If another developer uses "someInstitutionId" instead of "institutionId" as route parameter then this check will break
B) The passing of the institutionId on every request is a horrible waste of bandwidth
Finally I could just add a currently accesed institutionId prop to user or pass around cookies but that forces the user to relog every time he wants to use a different institution and he cannot have multiple instances of the application open for different institutions which is a hard requirement.
What would be the best approach for scenarios like that?

A: So you don't want to use Session because it's against REST (and that's great!) but you don't want the client application to send you the institutionId inside the request... This is a problem of logic. I mean just think about it.
How the client application can provide you the information if it's not inside the request because you don't use Session? It HAS to be inside EVERY request.
And it's not a "horrible waste of bandwitch", your institutionId is not a 2Go information so...
Just use the JWT, store the institutionId inside, like this every time the client will try to access a method inside your controller the Authorize attribute will check if he's got the access and it will work greatly even if he had multiple instance of the application because the institutionId will be provided by the JWT on EVERY request! :)
And if you don't want the user to login each time he opens the application inside an another institution just make the client application write the institutionId inside the token. So he logs in with ClientApp1 you give him a token without institutionId, but when ClientApp1 make a call it write the institutionId inside the token, like this you can check the access and if the client open ClientApp2 you automaticly provide the token that you provide to ClientApp1 (so the one without institutionId) and ClientApp2 will overwrite the institutionId and send you the institudionId related to ClientApp2.

Poverty, not climate breakdown, caused Madagascar's food crisis, 研究を見つける
お気に入り?
によって追加 プレム オン 02/12/2021
Poverty and a heavy reliance on annual rains are the key factors behind the devastating food crisis in southern Madagascar not climate breakdown, a new study finds.
A million people in the region are struggling for food following the worst drought in 30 年. But the scientific analysis did not show a convincing link to global heating, despite the World Food Programme describing it as the "world's first climate-induced famine」.
The researchers said their work nonetheless highlighted the "moral imperative" to reduce poverty and improve infrastructure in places that would suffer increasingly extreme weather as global heating mounted.
Previous analyses have shown clearly that the climate emergency has made severe heatwaves much more likely. Global heating is also increasing the risk of more complex events, such as droughts and floods, but it is harder to separate the influence of heating of these from natural variability, which is high in Madagascar.
In two consecutive rainy seasons in southern Madagascar rainfall has been 40% below average, causing severe drought, crop failures and a humanitarian crisis, with tens of thousands of people facing famine. より多い 90% of people in the region live in poverty and farmers rely on each season's rain rather than on stored water and irrigation.
Infestations of migratory locusts そして fall armyworms have made the crisis even worse, while Covid-19 restrictions have stopped people seeking work elsewhere in the country, as they have during previous difficulties.
Maarten van Aalst, director of the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and part of the 20-strong scientific team behind the study, 前記: "This event in Madagascar shows that in many cases we are not even prepared for today's climate."
Piotr Wolski, at the University of Cape Town, 南 アフリカ, 前記: "Even though we do not clearly see the role of anthropogenic climate change in this particular event, similar events will happen in the future, and will more likely be exacerbated rather than alleviated by climate change.
"Adapting and reducing vulnerabilities to such events is a moral imperative that should not be frustrated by inherent uncertainties of climate change projections or statistical analyses."
The researchers assessed the influence of global heating on the Madagascan drought using weather records, climate projections and computer models. This enabled them to compare the likelihood of the event in today's world, already 1.2C hotter, with the likelihood in a world in which no human-caused global heating has happened at all.
They found rainfall in the region is highly variable and that the drought had a one in 135 chance of occurring in a given year in today's climate. Global heating might have slightly increased the likelihood of the drought but the effect was not statistically significant.
Friederike Otto, at Imperial College London, イギリス, 前記: "While our analysis cannot exclude that human-caused global warming may have made a small contribution to the lack of rain, we cannot separate this signal from the generally high natural variability of the region."
Previous research indicates that perceptible changes in drought due to global heating will only emerge in this region if the global temperature exceeds 2C above pre-industrial levels.
Similar analyses have shown that the heatwave that scorched western North America this year would have been "virtually impossible" without the climate crisis and that the deadly flooding across Germany and Belgium in July was made up to nine times more likely by such changes.
