I, for one, think Aaron's goatee and stache are coming in nicely.
He needs to learn that you can't try to grow it unless you're sure it'll come in nicely. The only exception to that rule is if you have to grow it for a specific reason…ie…a bet, a winning streak by your favorite team or for some play you are in where you have to perform as a bearded fellow.
hahahahaha. This is fantastical!!!! Maybe in the weeks to come it'll slowly turn into a big ol' bushy beard yeah?
Unfortunately it doesn't always work like that. A big patchy-uneven beard? Maybe.


Economix | Who Ultimately Pays the Corporate Income Tax?
Who Ultimately Pays the Corporate Income Tax?
Uwe E. Reinhardt is an economics professor at Princeton.
I ended last week's post by asking whether anyone knows which human beings ultimately pay the corporate income tax.
An intuitively appealing answer is that the tax is levied on profits, which are a return on capital invested in a corporation. Therefore, those who made that investment — the shareholders — absorb the tax fully in the form of a lower after-tax return on their investments.
That impression would be reinforced by the short-run, partial-equilibrium model of the individual company that we sometimes trot out in freshman economics courses.
In the partial-equilibrium model, the company's capital stock is assumed to be fixed in the short run. Imposing or raising a tax on the profits will not change the company's decisions on prices and production, because to maximize after-tax profits the company would take the same steps as to maximize pretax profits.
But economics professors quickly add that all bets are off in the longer run, when the company's capital stock relative to the input of labor can change and when the owners of investable funds can decide whether to invest their money at home or abroad or in enterprises not subject to corporate taxation.
General-equilibrium models accommodating this wider view of the economy and the longer run go much beyond the compass of a freshman course and show that who actually pays the corporate income tax — the owners of capital or labor — is driven by a number of factors in complicated ways that elude simple intuition.
A fine review of these extended models can be found in Jennifer Gravelle's recent paper, "Corporate Tax Incidence: Review of General Equilibrium Estimates and Analysis." A broader review of the economic literature on all facets of the corporate income tax, not just its incidence, can be found in a paper by Jane G. Gravelle and Thomas L. Hungerford, "Corporate Tax Reform: Issues for Congress." Be warned: while both papers avoid formal mathematical modeling, they might be a tough slog for anyone who did not major in economics in college.
The models in question typically divide a country's economy into a corporate sector (the "taxed sector") in which businesses are treated and taxed as if they were individuals, a concept known as legal persons, and another "non-taxed sector" in which business entities are not taxed as legal persons. Furthermore, the models can be for either a "closed economy" that does not trade goods or services and investable funds with the rest of the world or an "open economy" that engages in trade and financial capital flows with other countries.
5. the size of that economy relative to the rest of the world's economy. It matters, for example, whether the country is small, like Ireland, or large, like the United States.
The earliest formal general equilibrium model, published in 1962 by a University of Chicago economist, Arnold C. Harberger, in the Journal of Political Economy, assumed a closed economy. In that model, the burden of the corporate income tax ultimately fell entirely on the owners of capital.
When the model was modified as an open economy in which capital in the taxed country can escape by flowing abroad to untaxed or lower-taxed countries, some or all of the burden of the corporate income tax shifted to labor. Under the assumption of perfect international capital mobility and perfect substitutability of imported goods and services for all domestically produced goods and services, labor would then bear the entire corporate income tax, because labor is the only immobile factor than cannot escape the tax.
Other modeling efforts since that time, or econometric estimates inspired by these models, have ranged between these extreme incidence models.
Economists are divided on the issue. Some (including Gregory Mankiw) are persuaded that the corporate income tax ultimately falls mainly on labor, rather than on the presumably wealthier owners of capital. One can actually make a case for cutting the tax in the name of a more progressive income-tax structure, which should appeal to voters and politicians left of center.
Other economists, including the authors of the surveys cited above (Jane Gravelle, Jennifer Gravelle and Thomas Hungerford), are persuaded by the available empirical evidence on the five factors I note that the burden of the corporate tax ultimately rests mainly on the owners of capital. That also appears to be the operative assumption of the Congressional Budget Office, the Treasury and other agencies when they analyze the distributional impact of various forms of taxation.
So, given that even economists cannot agree on who actually bears the burden of the corporate income tax, why not abolish the tax altogether and instead tax human beings directly? The arguments against such a move are twofold.
Second, if the profits of corporations were not taxed, the corporate form of enterprise would become one more major tax shelter through which wealthy people could shield their income from taxation. That probably is the main reason why abolishing the corporate tax has never had any political traction, in the United States or abroad.
Could This Be a Real Deterrent?

Another thing how can I retrieve both values in PhonebookEntry tags?
I'm kinda new to java and android dev, many thanks in advance! :)

A: This code makes the incorrect assumption that the characters method will be called only once between the startElement and endElement calls for a tag.
Instead of having the logic for setting the values in the characters method, you need initialize a buffer in the startElement method, collect characters into the buffer in the characters method, and then make the assignments and clear the buffer in the endElement method.
EDIT:
Actually, there were a few other issues in your code...
You had setMobilePhone and setWorkPhone in your model class setting the homePhone field...  An inevitable risk when you copy-modify code.
And your handler was only creating one result, and would have overwritten and only returned the last one in the file.
I've played with it, changed some of the methods more to Java standard naming, and changed some of the xml to CamelCase as well.
Revised XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<PhoneBook>
    <PhoneBookEntry>
        <FirstName>John</FirstName>
        <LastName>Connor</LastName>
        <Address>5,Downing Street</Address>
        <Phone loc="home">9875674567</Phone>
        <Phone loc="work">9875674567</Phone>
        <Phone loc="mobile">78654562341</Phone>
    </PhoneBookEntry>
    <PhoneBookEntry>
        <FirstName>John</FirstName>
        <LastName>Smith</LastName>
        <Address>6,Downing Street</Address>
        <Phone loc="home">678-56-home</Phone>
        <Phone loc="work">678-59-work</Phone>
        <Phone loc="mobile">678-85-mobile</Phone>
    </PhoneBookEntry>
</PhoneBook>

Revised ParsedExampleDataSet:
public class ParsedExampleDataSet {
    private String firstName = null;
    private String lastName =null;
    private String address =null;
    private String homePhone =null;
    private String workPhone =null;
    private String mobilePhone =null;

    //Firstname
    public String getFirstName() {
         return firstName;
    }
    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
         this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    //Lastname
    public String getLastName(){
        return lastName;
    }
    public void setLastName(String lastName){
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    //address
    public String getAddress(){
        return address;
    }
    public void setAddress(String Address){
        this.address =Address;
    }

    public void setHomePhone(String homePhone){
        this.homePhone =homePhone;
    }
    public void setWorkPhone(String homePhone){
        this.workPhone =homePhone;
    }
    public void setMobilePhone(String homePhone){
        this.mobilePhone =homePhone;
    }

    public String toString(){
         return "firstName: " + this.firstName + "\n" + "lastName=: " + this.lastName + "\n" + "address: " + this.address + "\n"  + "homePhone: " + this.homePhone + "\n" + "workPhone: " + this.workPhone + "\n" + "mobilePhone: " + this.mobilePhone;

    }
}

And the handler that does the parsing:
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class ExampleHandler extends DefaultHandler {

        if (in_homePhone) {

    @Override
    public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) {
        stringBuffer.append(new String(ch, start, length));
    }

}

It puts some likely unwanted whitespace in the fields, but I suspect you can figure out how to trim that.
Calling it, you get a list rather than a single object, but other than dealing with that, your calling code shouldn't have to change too much.  I didn't try to work with that, as I'm not doing any of this on android.

A: Also to get the attributes from an element you can use something like this:
You get the attributes from the atts Attributes in the startElement method.
}else if (localName.equals("Phone")){
          this.in_Phone=true;
          int length = atts.getLength();
          System.out.println("length = " + length);
          for(int i = 0; i < length; i++){
              String name = atts.getQName(i);
              System.out.println(name);
              String value = atts.getValue(i);
              System.out.println(value);
              if(name.equals("loc")){
                  if(value.equals("home")){
                    this.in_homePhone=true;
                  }else if(value.equals("work")){
                    this.in_workPhone=true;
                  }else if(value.equals("mobile")){
                    this.in_mobilePhone=true;
                 }

              }
          }
    }

Anders Persson,  född 6 februari 1886 i Svedja, Rengsjö socken, Bollnäs kommun, Hälsingland, död 23 mars 1925, var en svensk skidåkare och skidfabrikör. Karriären avslutades den 22 mars 1925, den söndagen han vann DM-tävlingen 60 km i Delsbo. Dagen därpå arbetade han som vanligt i skidfabriken, då han plötsligt segnade ner vid skrivbordet, död i hjärtinfarkt, 39 år gammal.

Skidtillverkare
I snickarboden hemma i Rengsjö började Anders Persson tillverkningen av sina egna skidor tillsammans med brodern Karl Persson. Tillverkningen utökades och flyttades först till Växbo och sedan till Säversta i Bollnäs. Genom att vid ett flertal tillfällen sätta svenska skideliten på plats fick Anders jättebra PR för sitt företag.

Under fabrikens glansperiod tillverkades och exporterades skidor till 15 länder. Under 1940-talet tillverkades på hans fabrik – som då drevs av sterbhuset – även skidor till svenska försvaret. I november 1951 såldes fabriken till Edsbyverken.

Skidåkare
Persson var en föregångare på många sätt. Han var den förste storskidåkaren som började fysträna redan under sommaren med mycket hård löpträning. Han var en renlevnadsman, smakade varken sprit eller tobak.

Han var ett av Sveriges stora namn före Hedlund/Utterström-epoken i svensk skidsport.
Hans skidfabrik blev ett begrepp, likaså hans insatser i spåren under närmare 15 år. 1912–1923 tog han fyra SM-guld på 30 km, samt en andra plats i Vasaloppet 1923.

1912 stod Bollnäs som värd för Svenska Mästerskapet på skidor 30 km och vinnare blev Anders Persson Bollnäs GIF. 1920 arrangerade Bollnäs SM för andra gången, där blev Persson trea, detta var inte det optimala för honom, det var bl.a. den gången åskådarna fick höra hur hans humör gav sig uttryck... Han skällde åt allt och alla:
" Dj---ar anamma!  Då man tävler på hemmaplan och man sagt täll om grädde ut efter spöre', och inte får nån grädde, så ja' måste åka me' trött och hungri.  Dj---ar vilken dålig hjälp man har... "

Familj
Som framgångsrika skidlöpare övrigt i släkten fanns även Anders bror Nils Persson Rengsjö, virkesinköpare och innovatör vid skidfabriken
(1905-01-25 – 1994-03-21) som bl.a. blev svensk mästare i budkavle 1934 i Lycksele, samt Anders son Waldemar Persson,  (1911-03-10 –  1990-12-26), bl.a. DM-mästare i budkavle 1936.

Meriter
SM 30 km, 1912 – 1924 :   placeringar  1, 2, 1, 7, 12, 1, 2, 5, 3, 1, 5, 6, 7.
SM Budkavle, 2:a 1912,  4:a 1916,  5:a 1917,  3:a 1918,  1:a 1920,  5:a 1924.
Holmenkollens 5-mil,  5:a 1919.
Helsingfors "Willebrands pokal",  1921, 4:a 30 km.
Nordiska spelen,  5:a 1913,  1:a 1917,  9:a 1922.
Vasaloppet, 16:de 1922,  2:a 1923  (49 sekunder efter den segrande Oskar Lindberg från Norsjö),  27:a 1924.
Han tog sammanlagt  39 DM-titlar

Beyoncé Is A Mystery We Can't Stop Trying To Solve
After all the confessional albums, candid footage, and memeable moments, Beyoncé still feels as distant as ever.
By Niela Orr

On June 22, a Twitter thread did almost as much as Naomi Campbell's cellphone attack and Kim Kardashian West's career arc to highlight the absurd difficulty of working as a celebrity's personal assistant. The viral post, "Being Beyoncé's assistant for the day: DON'T GET FIRED THREAD," is a series of choose-your-own-adventure–style questions that invites users to imagine what it might be like to work for the pop star. Equal parts Seventeen quiz and Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, the game has the felicity of the first and the latter's escalating stakes: For breakfast, would Beyoncé prefer strawberries and granola, or a five-star buffet? Should she hide out at a hotel to avoid the paparazzi or risk being spotted at a super-secret event at which she's set to appear?
Creator Landon Rivera told BuzzFeed News that the game was "pretty much divided off common logic and some Beyoncé trivia." Getting fired in the game would mean getting a shady dismissal from Rivera, but participating lets you psychoanalyze American pop culture's most mysterious personality. "I hope [Beyoncé] would laugh and not be too offended," Rivera said of his viral thread. "Especially since I kind of twisted her persona to be a cliché celebrity."
Rivera's admission prompts a compelling question: What exactly is Beyoncé's persona? There are as many answers as there are Bey eras. Badass girl-power advocate? She's been that. Soul-pop cyborg preempting sorry dudes and their dumb lies? Yep. "Unapologetically black" activist? She's been that too. Pop perfectionist, R&B torchbearer, conscious recoupler, black Madonna: yes, yes, yes, etc. Maybe she's still all of those things. But the "common logic" part of Rivera's statement is so intriguing for what it telegraphs about the public's perception of Bey.
The fact that Rivera, a Beyoncé fan, edited her persona into that of your standard, paint-by-numbers celeb doesn't seem all that incongruous given Bey's public arc over the past few months. In fact, it's seemed that her persona, which long ago moved beyond "cliché celebrity," has recently transitioned, via intense public engagement with her image, into the blank-slate status of a cultural demigod. That's where the irony of "common logic" comes in: Although Rivera's phrase is predicated on us knowing Beyoncé, the fervid response to candid clips of Bey suggests that we actually don't. Recently, engaging with Beyoncé's celebrity outside of that Twitter thread has felt a lot like trying to be her assistant, or at least like trying not to get fired from the pop-cult milieu. You wanna know: What's she thinking?
What exactly is Beyoncé's persona? There are as many answers as there are Bey eras.
A series of recent candid viral videos of Beyoncé have only heightened the public's obsession with her inscrutability. Consider this viral clip captured during Game 3 of the NBA Finals earlier in June. Sandwiched between her husband, Jay-Z, and Nicole Curran, wife of Golden State Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob, Beyoncé alternates between smiling and frowning as Curran talks over her to Jay Z.
According to Curran, she asked Jay-Z if he wanted a drink, he replied with his order ("vodka soda"), she asked if he wanted lime, all the while inching ever closer into Beyoncé's personal space. In the midst of Curran's obnoxious encroachment, in which she is basically bending over the star's lap, Jay and Bey pause to say hi to someone across the arena. Jay-Z waves at the acquaintance across the hardwood. Bey smiles, and then happily acknowledges the person. (The fact that there's an offscreen figure eliciting a gleeful response from the couple adds to the clip's richness, since it adds a contrast to Curran.) After the schmoozing is over, Curran continues to lean in past Beyoncé to confirm Jay's drink request. A shadow spreads over Bey's face, she frowns, possibly because of Curran's interloping, and then not-so-subtly extends her left elbow to create more space between herself and the oblivious woman next to her.
The video prompted intense media attention, with viewers enthusiastically interpreting its meaning. It also triggered the Beyhive's wrath; in a saga that lasted a couple days, fans spammed Curran's social media accounts and sent death threats, leading Curran to confess an apparent new understanding of cyberbullying. The fiasco led to Beyoncé's publicist calling for a detente on Instagram.
The viral assistant thread, the Curran debacle, and the ensuing Beyhive controversy highlight the public's deep interest in all things Beyoncé, and perhaps more so, our desire to know her. Add the still-mysterious Met Gala elevator footage to that, along with the candid video of her rocking back and forth at another NBA game, and she's somewhat of a cipher, especially in the Instagram age. This inaccessibility (which she shares with most public figures — it's impossible to really know a celebrity) contrasts with early tape of her during the Destiny's Child era being petty and ungenerous and, well, more relatable. Now she lets the Beyhive express all the emotions she can't, or won't publicly reveal, or is above now. After all of the confessional albums, documentaries, and groundbreaking live performances, Beyoncé still feels as distant as ever.
It's true Beyoncé's not the only huge star the internet tends to watch religiously, but she is one of a select few who performs her celebrity so neutrally and offhandedly, which ironically invites a level of obsessive attention from fans and cultural critics. She's different from other celebs: Perpetually swathed in eveningwear, Mariah Carey is always on. Drake wears his heart on the sleeves of his OVO Fest hoodies, which makes all the sussing out about what he might be thinking not particularly fun. Kim Kardashian West? Via Keeping Up With the Kardashians, she's even more on than Mariah. Kanye West vacillates between being ham-fistedly provocative and metabolizing the backlash he receives from his outlandish behavior into content. Nicki Minaj has a radio show, where she dishes on her personal life and occasionally insults other stars, which is something Bey would never do. Taylor Swift, Cardi B, and Ariana Grande publically engage like true millennial entrepreneurs: They communicate with fans and (selectively and strategically) divulge sometimes-prickly interpersonal and/or business-related goings-on through the scrim of social media. Rihanna's either eager to play into her fame and its unique benefits, such as openly crushing on LeBron James, or subverting her entryway into celebrity music by gleefully posting about her expanding business empire and playfully shutting down fans who demand her next album.
But Beyoncé plays her fame as ambivalently as a repeat pageant queen, and in doing so elevates her celebrity (revering it too much to comment on it all the time) and naturalizes it (grins and bears it, as we see in the candid clips). In doing so, her position becomes lofty and aspirational but not entirely knowable. That approach is rare, and therefore infinitely interesting.
Many other famous people are constantly unpacking what it means to be famous: Kanye's penchant for contrarianism and direct allusion (think of the "Famous" video), Lady Gaga's balancing act, which combines an embrace of camp and critique (the album titles, costumes, and starring roles) with straight up fan-service, and Sia's extreme privacy are all ways of commenting on their celebrity. Where their ongoing articulation of their fame demystifies it, Beyoncé's neutrality shrouds hers in secrecy and creates a slate for memes and obsessive deconstruction. To be clear, she's just as likely as her peers to cannibalize her public foibles ("Of course sometimes shit go down / When it's a billion dollars on an elevator") and the conspiracy around her own aura ("Y'all haters corny with that Illuminati mess") in music. But she has been, so far, loath to dramatize or perform it in any easily recognizable way outside of a musical context. Because she resists making her fame a thing, we can't help but do it for her.

Early Destiny's Child.
Beyoncé's current omnipresence was presaged by a different kind of ubiquity almost two decades ago. In E!'s Destiny's Child Revealed, which aired in 2002, former Vibe editor-in-chief Emil Wilbekin details the group's overexposure after the massive crossover success of the 2001 album Survivor. "Everywhere you looked there was Destiny's Child," he explained. "They're in the Target ad, they're preparing for their Christmas album. They're going to be at the All-Star game ... You just kinda got the sense that it was too much." In "Beyoncé," MAD TV's parody of Destiny's Child hit "Emotion," the show flipped the original song's chorus to poke fun at Beyoncé's lead-singer image and the attention that came with it: "It's just Beyoncé who's taking it over / Caught up in her image, lost in her weave."
To say that she "took over" her group suggests she didn't have control from the beginning. Although Beyoncé's father and former manager Mathew Knowles insists that his daughter never exercised any outsized influence over the group, in footage from the late '90s and early '00s, Beyoncé is the group spokesperson and unequivocal leader. She's funny, a little abrasive, and talks off the cuff.
Beyoncé plays her fame as ambivalently as a repeat pageant queen.
In "Beyoncé's Shadiest/Diva Moments," a YouTube compilation of early Destiny's Child interviews and concert footage, she's slightly catty, rolling her eyes at the other members of the group, making snarky comments, delivering subtext in side-eyes. That kind of candor seems unlikely today. It's almost like Bey's responded to that early overexposure, or the embarrassment of having her impoliteness exposed to the world, by making herself scarce, as you'd expect her to do the more her star rose, anyway. Her romance with Jay-Z, which began in 2001, made her less apt to talk about her personal life. (In a 2003 interview with Oprah, Bey wouldn't even publicly acknowledge her relationship with the rapper. When they married in April 2008, the couple was mum about the nuptials.) In an interview from May 2003, a month before the release of her debut album Dangerously in Love, Beyoncé spoke in somewhat defeatist terms about her upcoming solo stardom. She told Carina Chocano that she'd rather opt out of the tedious aspects of fame, namely things like interviews: "I always want to make music, sing, and perform on stage ... And, I think, make movies. But everything else that comes with it? If I had a choice, I wouldn't do it…. Putting out the solo album, there are things you have to do ... because you do!"
As Michael Cragg notes in an essay about 4's impact on Beyoncé's reinvention as an artist, the singer's previous album, 2008's I Am... Sasha Fierce marked a turn in Bey's persona:
The existence of Sasha Fierce helped Beyoncé, naturally shy and reserved, become a powerhouse on stage. But it also added another layer of distance between the artist and her audience, at a time when the idea of the aloof, otherworldly megastar was being steadily challenged by tell-all social media and girl-next-door normalcy. Towards the end of the 4 campaign, Beyoncé joined Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into her life.

Beyoncé in Life Is But a Dream.
Enter: 2013's Life Is But a Dream. A spiritual successor to 2011's Year of 4 documentary, in which Bey took viewers through the yearlong gestation of her album 4, Life Is But a Dream documents the singer's preparation for an iconic performance of "Run the World (Girls)" at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards and a four-night run at Revel Atlantic City. The doc, which aired on HBO, is also a True Life–esque vlog of her nascent pregnancy with daughter Blue Ivy and offers an uncharacteristic peek into her family life and marriage with Jay-Z. Suffused with backstage footage, the documentary was immediately compared to Madonna's Truth or Dare (1991) documentary, but it reminded me more of Janet Jackson circa Control and Rhythm Nation 1814. Both Year of 4 and Life Is But a Dream could be considered elaborations of the "Pleasure Principle" and "Miss You Much" videos, meshing love and desire with perfectionism and hard-body physicality in a way that's both more audacious and wholesome than Madge's provocative doc. (Bey's a noted Janet Jackson fan; there's cellphone footage of Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland dancing at the star's Vegas residency this May.) It's clear that control is at the forefront of her mind in Life Is But a Dream: She details her decision, in 2011, to split with her dad Mathew and become her own manager; we see her editing with her graphics crew and project-managing her team's Revel prep; she delivers a pointed message about privacy.
When I first started out, there was no internet — people taking pictures of you and putting your personal life, or exploiting your personal life as entertainment. I think people are so brainwashed. You get up in the morning, you click on the computer, you see all these pictures and … all you think of is the picture and the image that you see all day, every day, and you don't see the human form. And I think when Nina Simone put out music, you loved her voice. That's what she wanted you to love, that was her instrument. But you didn't get brainwashed by her day-to-day life, and what her child is wearing, and who she's dating, and, you know, all the things that really … is not your business. And it shouldn't influence the way you listen to the voice and the art. But it does.
As she talks, audio of Beyoncé harmonizing in the studio slowly fades in, moving from b-roll status to the main footage, climaxing in a 30-second scene of her singing with the session band. That transition is crucial because she's telling us how to read her: Music is the A plot, and the only plot. (From there she goes on to describe kicking people out of the studio who distract her from singing.) Though skewered by critics who called the film "equal parts vanity project and calculated act of image control," and "an infomercial," and "less a documentary portrait than a micromanaged video diary exploring the R&B superstar's relationship with her laptop," it works as a credo of sorts, a key to understanding Beyoncé's relationship to fame. It also reinforces her approach to privacy, foregrounds her interest in recording herself, and hints at where she would go with her savvy image-crafting: more event television.
In a 2013 GQ cover story of the star, Amy Wallace described what she called "the official Beyoncé archive," a high-tech "temperature-controlled digital-storage facility that contains virtually every existing photograph of her ... every interview she's ever done; every video of every show she's ever performed; every diary entry she's ever recorded while looking into the unblinking eye of her laptop." All of it, the archive, the "visual director" she hired in 2005, who "has shot practically her every waking moment, up to sixteen hours a day," is an obvious attempt to take back some of her agency, not unlike celebs who confront paparazzi by taking pictures of them. Apparently the Bey archive is not one-way — it's "rigged with a camera and microphone that is capturing not just her every utterance but yours as well." Wallace puts a fine point on the implication: "These are the ground rules: Before you get to see Beyoncé, you must first agree to live forever in her archive, too."
As the music-first iconography ramped up and the Beyoncé archive hummed with new images and video footage, the private dispatches petered out. Beyoncé's image as a girl-power activist (circa 4) and sex-positive feminist (2013's eponymous album) were prioritized, and there was less room, and less fodder, for a discussion of her personal life. It wasn't until the elevator incident during 2014's Met Gala that any internal discord in the Knowles–Carter clan made its way public. The silent footage of Solange Knowles kicking and slapping Jay-Z in an elevator at New York's Standard hotel as Beyoncé's bodyguard Julius tries to keep the peace (and protect Beyoncé most of all) was a big pop culture story when it was leaked in May 2014, spawning conspiracy theories and all kinds of super-close reads. Years later, both Beyoncé and Jay-Z referenced the incident in songs. In 2018, Mathew Knowles told Wendy Williams that his daughters' responses in the Standard hotel elevator felt appropriate given their personalities. Where Solange's behavior on the elevator tape speaks to her unpredictable, "firecracker" sensibility, he explained, "Beyoncé would be in the corner quiet," avoiding the drama.
After the elevator footage leaked, Beyoncé and Jay-Z used that fiasco and the turmoil of their private lives for a series of semiautobiographical musical works. There was Lemonade (2016), a palimpsest of Beyoncé's heartbreak and allusions to both familial and historical depictions of black womanhood. That album was followed by Jay-Z's 2017 album 4:44, which charted his redemption, and then their shared album Everything Is Love, a sometimes-cloying record that sees the couple reconciled and love-happy, repurposing their hardships in song. On the heels of that trifecta came Beyoncé's 2018 Vogue cover story, which is an article composed of quotes Bey gave to a journalist. In the Vogue piece, Beyoncé walks back some of her early appraisals of the internet, saying, "The beauty of social media is it's completely democratic. Everyone has a say. Everyone's voice counts, and everyone has a chance to paint the world from their own perspective."

That vocal democracy has gone into overdrive. Months after the elevator incident, a November 2014 video of Beyoncé swaying at an NBA game after an apparent squabble with Jay-Z gained currency, as did a candid photo of Beyoncé seemingly looking over Jay-Z's shoulder at his phone. (Another fascinating part of the crowdsourced component of these clips is the process by which certain ones become memes, and how competing imagery can nullify or counteract the established viral narrative. This video, from the same game, shows Beyoncé and Jay-Z sharing a pretzel, as lovey-dovey as can be.) After the elevator incident, Beyoncé transitioned back into more tightly controlling her visual image: There was Lemonade's visual album, which aired on HBO in 2016, the public debut of her twins in a maternity photo posted to her Instagram in 2017, her and Jay-Z's vow renewal footage included in the On the Run II Tour in 2018, and then this year's Homecoming, streaming on Netflix, which Beyoncé wrote, directed, and executive-produced. (Her family is also protective of her likeness: In late June, Beyoncé's mom Tina Knowles shared a video of her trimming the star's hair on Instagram — we can hear Bey saying "Mama, that's really annoying," — and then later took it down.)
In her 2017 book Listening to Images, Barnard College professor and photography scholar Tina Campt argues that analyzing black subjects in certain photographs requires not only looking at the images, but engaging their sonic quality, assessing their "volume" by a few different factors: who arranged the pictures, the images' historical context, the lived experience of the people whose pictures are taken. Campt focuses on "dispossessed black subjects" and images that have been "historically dismissed and disregarded."
In the clips, Beyoncé's way of conducting herself is low-key and reserved; it seems like she's holding a lot back, that she's hyperaware of the stakes of any move she makes.
Neither Beyoncé nor these off-the-cuff videos are any of those things exactly, but it's tempting to read them in this context, because there seems to be little else that accurately gets at the muted sensibility and tension within them. And there's something about being an extremely famous person, being possessed by so many, that strips a person of a part of their selfhood. In that way, she might be an extreme version of what being dispossessed looks like. Beyoncé is often described by family and journalists as "quiet," and "shy." In these viral clips, that characterization comes through, as well as an intense self-protection of the "human form" she vaunted in Life Is But a Dream, though without the outspoken energy of her previous pro-privacy statement in that film and the more ostentatious gestures of her contemporaries.
These videos aren't "quiet" just because they're usually recorded without sound. In the clips, Beyoncé's way of conducting herself is low-key and reserved; it seems like she's holding a lot back, that she's hyperaware of the stakes of any move she makes. In the clips, she embodies what Campt calls "black fugitivity and refusal," or the resistance to being fully captured in these images. In the November 2014 video of her hiding in the corner of a parking garage as her bodyguard scopes out the scene, presumably waiting for a car to arrive, she's literally, physically, refusing to be available for paparazzi or fan scrutiny.
Even if Beyoncé isn't entirely dispossessed, dismissed, and disregarded, there's something about her public presence that — ironically — seems underanalyzed, and it feels like it has something to do with her being a black woman celebrity. I don't mean that she isn't written about. But how often is she seen? In an interview, the poet Morgan Parker, whose 2017 book There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé interrogates the intersections of black womanhood and performance, among other things, said she was interested in how the star is "a symbol for all the different ways that black women are revered but also surveilled in a really intense way, put on display."
The candid clips and Beyoncé's counter-archive evoke other black women who spent significant stretches in the public eye: Aretha Franklin, who became a meme icon in part because of a picture of her using a camcorder in public. And Diana Ross, whose nickname "The Boss" stems from a song and album of the same name, where she bragged about her onetime ability to "turn emotion on and off," but also because of her disco and pop dominance in the late '70s and early '80s. (Her legendary 1983 Central Park concert anticipated Bey's Coachella performance, as far as pop culture–altering public spectacles go.) Ross was on top for so long you wonder what the compartmentalization needed to be a top star did for her, and to her. For Ross, who was a really famous, well-regarded star with innumerable demands on her time and energy, what did it mean to turn emotion on and off outside of a romantic context? I have similar questions about Beyoncé. The Curran video revived the antic public projection of the singer's personal life and image, reinforcing the fact that just as much as Beyoncé has her own archive, she's a part of the public's too. ●

Two days ago, columnist Barry Rascovar shared his opinion about the situation caused by the high number of unaccompanied children arriving illegally in the United States. While Mr. Rascovar is entitled to his opinion, the Maryland Republican Party finds his partisan attack on members of our party to be both outrageous and slanderous.
Let me first define the term illegal immigration for Mr. Rascovar. Illegal immigration refers to the migration of people across national borders, or the residence of foreign nationals in a country, in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destination country.
These children are entering this country illegally and that is what Mr. Rascovar is missing in his article. And to call us bigots because we oppose illegal immigration is typical of the liberal left. When they disagree with us on issues they revert to name calling and personal attacks.
Mr. Rascovar wants his readers to believe that the Grand Old Party is somehow an anti-immigration party because a portion of its founding members were part of the Know-Nothing Party. Well some members of the KKK were members of the Democrat Party so using his logic the Democrat Party is also a racist party.
Mr. Rascovar also assumes that it was a Republican who placed graffiti on the Carroll County military building without evidence. No one has been arrested or charged with this crime, but he assumes it was a Republican because of the message. To make an accusation like that is not only irresponsible but unprofessional as well.
In 1986, President Reagan signed the Simpson-Mazzoli Act, a bipartisan immigration reform bill that created a pathway to citizenship for 3 million undocumented immigrants. Now that President Obama is considering legalizing 5 million illegal immigrants, foreigners are racing for the U.S. border before he does so in an effort to receive the bounty of being a U.S. citizen, without having to go through the process. The United States looks like the answer to all of their prayers. The enticement of U.S. citizenship without any strings attached is a very strong motivator.
Mr. Rascovar goes on to attack some of the elected officials in my party because they're trying to fix this problem and not turning a blind eye to it. The current border crisis highlights the incompetency of the Obama administration and the fractures within the Democratic Party on how to solve our broken border system. President Obama is sending a clear message: the only way he will ever be a firsthand witness of the crisis on the U.S. – Mexico border is if the DNC holds a fundraiser there.
Republicans are committed to solving this situation, but President Obama and his administration need to deliver a plan that actually curbs illegal immigration. Disappointedly, Senate Democrats fired the first shot in the border solution negotiations, attempting to block an honest Republican proposal and turn it into a polarizing political prop.
They're following the same pattern as President Obama, concerning themselves with fundraisers and politics over actually making sure the well-being of kids is taken care of and the border is secure. This is proof that immigration isn't a policy issue for Democrats, it's a political prop to trot out in an election year.
With President Obama failing to lead on a slew of issues, Gallup reports that Americans are also disappointed with his handling of our broken immigration system. Americans' approval of President Barack Obama's handling of immigration has dropped to 31%, one of the lowest readings since 2010, when Gallup began polling on his handling of the issue. Today, two in three Americans (65%) disapprove of his handling of immigration.
What President Obama doesn't get about our immigration system is that half of the country, including many independent voters, see a struggling border and weak interior enforcement as a reflection of another mismanaged aspect of this administration. Until President Obama fixes the reality problem at our border and Americans see him enforcing our laws, we will have a perception problem abroad and he will have a favorability problem at home.
In closing the Maryland Republican Party has been and always will be a proponent of lawful immigration. We support everyone's desire to be a citizen of the United States, but we encourage people to emigrate the legal way. A nation without borders is not a nation.

Media Release - Saskatchewan's Agri-Food Sector Bolsters the Province's Exports in 2016
Energy and Fertilizer Sectors Set to Bounce Back in 2017
Saskatchewan's export situation will improve dramatically from this year to next, according to Export Development Canada's (EDC) semi-annual Global Export Forecast. Continued challenges in the energy and fertilizer sectors will cause the province's overall exports to shrink by three per cent this year, but growth returns in force in 2017 to the tune of eight per cent, thanks to partial recovery in the energy sector and a strong performance by the agri-food sector.
Once again, Saskatchewan is Canada's leading province when it comes to agri-food exports. EDC forecasts that the sector, which accounts for nearly half of the province's exports, will grow by three per cent this year, and six per cent in 2017.
"Saskatchewan's oil seeds and pulses exports will remain very strong over the next two years due to a lower Canadian dollar, higher prices, and continued demand from emerging markets," said Peter Hall, EDC's Chief Economist.
"China and India both have a rapidly-growing middle class with consumers that are hungry for the world-class quality of Saskatchewan's agri-food products. We're starting to see the impact of that demand now, but in our view this is only the tip of the iceberg."
Energy sector exports are expected to grow by 19 per cent in 2017, rebounding from a 17 per cent drop-off this year. Accounting for almost one-quarter of the province's exports, the energy sector is having a significant negative impact on the province's overall export forecast in 2016. An about-face in the sector next year will likewise help to drive overall exports back to healthy growth levels.
Similar trends will be seen in the province's fertilizer sector, which accounts for roughly three-quarters of Canada's international fertilizer shipments. Saskatchewan's potash exports will feel the impact of declining prices and global over-supply, declining five per cent this year, but managing three per cent growth in 2017.
"There was no avoiding what happened with energy last year and the further impact that decline is having this year, but better times are on the horizon for Saskatchewan exports," said Hall. "We think that now is the time for Saskatchewan exporters to plan for and capitalize on global opportunities. Growth is coming, it's a matter of being well-positioned when it arrives."
Mr. Hall is discussing Saskatchewan's export prospects -- and those of the rest of Canada -- with local business people today at the Radisson Hotel in Saskatoon. The event is being held in partnership with the Saskatchewan Trade & Export Partnership (STEP).
Over the next month, Hall will travel across Canada for EDC's Let's Talk Exports tour, which offers insights on the current global economy and explores how economic trends will impact Canadian exporters.

While we were in Monterrey, our hostel recommended that we change our route and go south through Zacatecas instead of west through Torreon. Our host told us that Torreon and Durango were not so safe and more importantly, were kind of boring. After some serious trip planning we decided to head south on Libre 54 to Zacatecas.
The problem we ran into from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey was that there were far less gas stations than expected. Though we never even made it to our reserve tank, I don't think I've ever driven that far without seeing a gas station. For our ride to Zacatecas we researched where and when we would see gas stations. Our tank has a range of about 120 miles so if we don't see a gas station by 60 miles, we decided we would turn back. Of course this turned out to not be a problem because at mile 55 we found a gas station. After that, gas stations every 40 kilometers or so.
Zacatecas was far more amazing than Anna or I had expected. The city had stone streets, colonial buildings and an amazing cathedral. Zacatecas is situated high in the mountains so the nights were freezing and the air was thin. The festivals during the day and the beautiful scenery were worth it though. Anna even asked me if I thought that this would be the most amazing scenery we would have this trip.
Leaving Zacatecas, the hostel recommended that we take the cuota route (toll road). We decided to take the libre (free) route and we were glad that we did. The difference between the cuota and the libre is that the cuota routes are better maintained and considered to be safer. My opinion is that the libre route has speed bumps everywhere. At one point we were riding along at 70 mph only to encounter a speed bump with no warning.
The ride to Guadalajara from Zacatecas has to be the most beautiful that I had ever seen. The day was warm, the roads were curvy, and we were riding along a mountain next to a valley with lakes below. The trip had been hard and cold up to this point. Now we were doing what we had imagined when planning a motorcycle trip through the Americas.
It took us a little longer than we had thought to get to Guadalajara and we got in around 7pm. We would be leaving a little over 12 hours later so we got some dinner and some sleep. The next day I hunted down some stamps for our postcards but we left at about 11am headed for Puerto Vallarta.
The ride to Puerto Vallarta was possibly more amazing than the day before. We passed by the town of Tequila, volcanoes, and finished off by speeding through mountain curves. We accidently made a wrong turn onto the cuota, but by that time I had decided that I was tired of the speed bumps.
Coming into Puerto Vallarta, we figured out that we weren't exactly in the right spot for our kind of trip. The signs turned from Spanish, to Spanish and English, then finally to just English. Farmers and locals riding their horses turned into hoardes of American and European tourists. The city had tried to preserve it's older look by keeping the cobblestone roads. The other tourists must have liked it but our motorcycle did not.
We'll have a break into Puerto Vallarta and then head on our way. Next stops are Manzanillo, Zihuantenjo and Oaxaca.
Sounds like it has been a nice trip so far, I was very consirned at first, but you have eased my mind. I will keep up with your travels , enjoy , stay safe.
Hope you get to some beaches soon. How many more days in Mexico?
Grandma- Glad reading the blog has eased your mind some. I haven't felt in danger or uncomfortable once.
Grams- I am having a wonderful time, gracias. & we will.
Mom- We're at the beach now! Idk how many more days in Mexico though- the plan changes daily.
