Transformation Gives Impatient Author Hope
"I think it's a little like asking people, 'Would you rather be at home or an inmate in prison?' Whereas if you said, 'Would you rather be at home or live in a community with people who care about you?' Then people might respond differently."
- Beth Baker
After four years of researching for her new book, Old Age in a New Age: The Promise of Transformative Nursing Homes, freelance writer Beth Baker is hopeful but impatient.
Hopeful, because she's learned nursing homes can become real homes that provide a life worth living for frail elders.
Impatient, because of the slow-to-change majority of long-term care providers entrenched in the old institutional model.
"I get impatient when people who I feel should know better are not embracing culture change wholeheartedly," she says in an interview with Action Pact.
Though acknowledging the practical difficulties of deep change, the real impediments, says Baker, are cynicism about the abilities of elders and their caregivers, and lack of imagination about "how it could be."
"I can't tell you how many times I've heard, 'That might work for assisted living but not in a nursing home because [the elders] are too far gone,' and, 'Aides at our home couldn't possibly do that,'" she tells Action Pact.
Her book adeptly dispels these myths, citing both anecdotal successes and the latest scholarly research.
Baker, a former dialysis technician and a regular contributor to the Washington Post Health Section and the AARP Bulletin, visited more than 20 nursing homes across the country and interviewed countless residents, caregivers, administrators, advocates and gerontological experts.
As an outside observer, she confirms what culture change enthusiasts within the industry have said all along: most conventional nursing homes are unhealthy for residents and caregivers alike.
"If I had to go into a traditional nursing home, I would be devastated," Baker tells Action Pact. "The loss of autonomy, privacy and control; the feeling of being marginalized or warehoused... would devastate anybody."
Her urgency for change is motivated in part by her grandmother, "an extremely fun-loving, lively person," who quickly "lost her spark" after moving into a "good" nursing home some 25 years ago. More recently, her mother was temporarily admitted to a nursing facility to recover from a fall. Ironically, her daughter's book had just rolled off the presses.
"She was in bed reading my book, saying, 'Oh this is exactly as you describe it,'" recalls Baker.
A Grim Future For Boomers
By the time Baker, now 55, is likely to need a nursing home, she may find the prospect even more devastating than today unless there are swift and sweeping changes.
Plagued by shortages of caregivers and exorbitant turnover rates for staff, nursing homes are on course to double their resident populations in 20 years or so with aging baby boomers. The number of Americans with Alzheimer's disease also is projected to double by 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Alzheimer's Association and National Center for Health Statistics.
"Working short [staffed] will probably become even more common," Baker states in her book. "There are simply not enough people willing to take jobs that are so stressful, pay so little, and are so little respected."
Studies link short staffing to increased risk for falls, pressure sores, incontinence, dehydration and malnourishment for residents. It also adds stress for workers who must pick up the slack while already scrambling to maintain assembly-line efficiency.
Meantime, caregivers typically must also deal with:
Rigid, hierarchical management structures that diminish workers' sense of self-worth,
Risk of physical assault from residents and their family members (aides working in long-term care represent the occupation most at risk of workplace assault, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics),
A resident population that is more frail and needs more medical care than residents of bygone eras (thanks to options like home health care and assisted living for healthier elders), and
Inadequate staff training.
Is it any wonder that caregivers are leaving in droves? Annual turnover for nurse aides is 70 percent nationwide (above 100 percent in 10 states) and almost 50 percent for nurses, according to Baker's research. There is scarcely time for staff to learn residents' names, let alone address their true social needs.
"I didn't fully appreciate before writing the book how interwoven the lives of aides and residents are," Baker tells Action Pact. "That simplistic saying, 'you can't have a happy resident without happy workers,' is really true."
Most nursing home caregivers enter the profession with the best of intentions, but whether their intentions come to fruition or frustration depends more, Baker believes, on the work environment than on individual character.
A Very Welcome Surprise
The good news: Staff and residents alike are blossoming in the transformed nursing homes Baker visited.
Slumping, characterized by the disengaged elder with vacant eyes, drooling mouth and collapsed body, is essentially nonexistent. Staff turnover in homes well along the road to change is low, often under 20 percent in those Baker investigated. (She cautions that turnover may increase in the first stages of transition, as some workers are uncomfortable with change and the added responsibility it brings.)
Though enthusiastic about culture change, Old Age in a New Age avoids Pollyannaish conclusions: "Transformation is not a magic elixir. Residents will always face trial and losses. But every place I visited held stories of hope," notes Baker.
Representing a variety of social models (resident-directed, person-centered, regenerative, household, Eden Alternative, Green Houses and Wellspring, among others), each home is unique, yet founded on many of the same principles.
"I felt like transformation is an idea whose time had come because I discovered people doing similar things around the country who didn't even know each other. It's like the ideas were percolating out there independently," she says.
Characteristics shared by all the successful models she visited are:
Strong leadership and commitment to change by administrators and other formal decision makers. ("Without courageous leaders willing to take risks on behalf of the people who live and work there, [change] ain't going to happen," Baker tells Action Pact.)
Cultures that encourage interpersonal relationships among staff, residents and family members.
Commitment to creating a real home for residents and restoring to them as much autonomy as possible.
Change from top-down, hierarchical management to a team approach and worker empowerment.
She was astonished to learn transformed nursing homes need not cost more to operate than the old model.
"Everyone assumes if it is a good quality home, it must be for rich people. [Learning otherwise] was a very welcome surprise," she tells us.
Overcoming Societal Delusions
So why aren't more conventional nursing homes boarding the transformation bandwagon?
Even more important than the attitudes of individual operators and boards of directors is society's "delusional denial of aging and death" and the idea that old people are a drag on society with nothing valuable to contribute.
"As long as our society views young adulthood as the pinnacle of life stages, elders will not live in places any of us would want to be," Baker's book concludes.
Still, Baker is optimistic that the culture change movement will grow to provide a lot more options by the time she may need a nursing home.
"What is impressive about this movement is its commitment to all elders, including those who depend on Medicaid. Only by supporting universal access to a life with dignity, no matter our age, income, or frailty, they suggest, will we truly transform the culture of our society," concludes Old Age in a New Age.

Ask a communist anything. No, really!
Home > Article > Blog > Ask a communist anything. No, really!
BY:Joe Sims, Chauncey K. Robinson, Scott Hiley And Roberta Wood| June 27, 2017
Earlier this month, the editors of the Reddit forum r/politics invited CPUSA to do an "Ask Me Anything," where users interact in real time. Questions and comments ranged from celebrations of CPUSA as an American institution ("Is it true you all know all four stanzas of the Star-Spangled Banner?") to acknowledgements of the anti-communism that remains a tool of the ruling class ("I'm a teacher… I sincerely wish you guys luck educating the public when we're literally not allowed to say anything positive about it in school.") Here are some of our answers, along with a few questions we didn't get to answer.
How do you prevent communist parties from devolving into the autocratic regimes they always have throughout history? It was my understanding that human nature doesn't allow true communism to exist.
Joe Sims responds:
This is an important issue. Glad you raised it. First, we think that it's important to recognize that socialism was first attempted in countries that did not have developed democratic institutions and civil society. That coupled with the challenges of war and intervention contributed to the lack of democracy which played a big role in the crimes during the Stalin period and socialism's collapse.
It's our view that you can't have real socialism without democracy as defined by working class and people actually having control over decision making both in the economy and in the state.
For us, that means a socialist government must be a multi-party state. The cpusa.org supports what we call "Bill of Rights of Socialism," a socialism that has at its center working class power and the bill of rights.
This is particularly true given the rise of the internet and social networks. The 24/7 news stream and the flow of information demands that the socialist and communist parties take a whole new approach to what this means in terms of governance and democracy. For us it means an emphasis on people's power from below in decision-making, a free press and assembly, and as indicated above working class coalition of political parties that direct the state.
We do not believe in an immutable human nature that is incompatible with socialism.
Can you guys talk about the stance the Party has on race, misogyny, and class? It seems like many leftists want to abandon so-called "identity politics" for a pure class approach, but the history of the Party seems to suggest a different position. Thank you.
Chauncey Robinson responds:
The CPUSA makes it a priority to point out that the fight against racism and sexism are KEY to the fight of the working class. It's not separate and apart or some side issues that will be dealt with "after the revolution" as some might try to push for. The working class is constantly divided, purposefully by the capitalist class, by race, gender, sexuality, and so on. In order to utilize the maximum strength of working people these divisions HAVE to be fought against. And they are not fought against by telling those that are super exploited under capitalism (such as African Americans, women, immigrants, and so on) that they just need to put those grievances aside and focus on class.
First off, in doing that, we take away the voice of the marginalized and say their problems just aren't as important to the "bigger picture" of class. This is a wrong move. A move like that does not grow our organization or the left, but further alienates us from the growing leadership of African Americans, women, immigrants, and so on who are leading the charge in many growing movements today. By acknowledging and fighting against the exploitation they face under this system we STRENGTHEN our fight as a whole. By dismissing those fights we only do the working class as whole a disservice and don't move any closer to collective strength and unity.
Women are half of the population. How do we not prioritize their fight for control over their own bodies and equal pay? African Americans have been statistically proven to being one of the biggest supporters and advocates of unions. How do we not prioritize the fights against the continued cruel reality of racism in the U.S.?
If we don't seek to prioritize the empowerment of what can be some of our strongest fighters in the seeking working class liberation then we've already lost the battle. Why not just become democrats? 3rd parties seem like a monumental waste of time to me particularly given that both parties aren't equally bad (republicans are much MUCH worse) AND that 3rd parties would at best just split a liberal base allow the worse party (republicans) to make laws.
You make some good points. The GOP is much worse, even while both parties subscribe to neoliberal policy – the GOP does with a vengeance. Still both are capitalist parties. Much of the labor movement, women, people of color, LGBTQ etc. operate within the framework of the Democratic Party.
That said, our party is a party of socialism: and our goal is bring about a socialist system in the U.S. We believe that it possible to do so peacefully by participating in the electoral and political process. Achieving this objective requires a political party that makes socialism its goal.
Needless to say, that is not the goal of the Democrats. At the same time we think that achieving socialism can only come about by participating in the day-to-day struggles of our working class and people. That means fighting for reforms, like raising the minimum , preventing climate change, supporting public education, universal healthcare etc. Thus, we share much in common with Democrats and independents (and maybe some confused GOPers) who support these aims. The point is you can't go it alone. We have to fight together.
It's going to be tough. And reforming the election laws to allow third parties to participate is key. That said, Bernie showed that there's still a lot of room to operate within the framework of the Democratic Party. And we support that very much. We think a bit down the road we'll need a third peoples party that will challenge both the GOP and the Democrats, a party that has defeating the big monopolies as its key objective.
It's often been said that "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism", that the only real way to avoid harming the laborers and marginalized is to go live off of berries in the forest. How does someone feeling guilty in a capitalist society (me, for instance) stay aware of injustice without self-flagellating?
Scott Hiley responds:
I once heard someone say, in response to the accusation that buying a certain commodity was unethical, "Listen. If my purchasing decisions could change the world, I'd wouldn't be a member of the working class." Injustice and poverty and inequality don't exist because working class people make poor decisions. They exist because they are engineered and maintained by the capitalist class–so let's keep the blame where it belongs. That goes for jobs, too. Coal mining is environmentally destructive–but that's not the miner's fault, any more that a worker on an assembly line in a Boeing plant is guilty of supporting the arms industry. We do what we have to do to survive–including working for the abolition of capitalism.
Does the communist party believe in working within the current political system to benefit the workers? Also, I'm also from upstate NY. As someone just getting into communism what are more ways to get involved?
CPUSA absolutely believes in working within the current political system to benefit workers. Where else could we work, and what kind of communists would we be if we just sat on the sidelines preaching revolution? The working class is hurting here and now; our planet is being destroyed here and now; racism, sexism, homo- and transphobia happen here and now, and must be addressed under capitalism, even as we're fighting something better. In fact, it's in fighting for justice within the current political system that we build the strength to change it.
I'm also in upstate NY! As a communist, I do the same thing I would do as a progressive: attend rallies, write letters to the editor, call my reps, get out the vote, etc. But I also try to find ways to get people talking about politics–not in a preachy way, and not necessarily about who to vote for, but about stuff like jobs, wages, immigration, women's rights. My area is really conservative, but I've actually had some good conversations with people who identify as conservatives, Republicans, etc.
I get a sense that the political influence of labor is diminishing in the U.S. and across the globe due to technological displacement. What is the strategy of CPUSA in response to this trend?
As we've been witnessing, the face of labor is growing and changing—by which I mean what has usually been pushed as the look of union workers and workers in general. We have seen through fights such as the Fight For 15 and a union, immigrant workers rights, and the like, that there are sections emerging in the leadership of these struggles that NEED to be part of the leadership of the labor movement. I'm speaking of Black women, women in general, and peoples of color. Many of which do not reside in jobs that have been known to be union types- such as the service and retail sector. In order for the labor movement to thrive there needs to be an expansion of what a union worker is, and a real push to train women, Black women, and other peoples of color to be leaders in the labor movement. This is because these populations are where the growing numbers of workers are finding themselves. There has to be a campaign to unionize these workers and place them in leadership to have their voice and strengths utilized. Yes technology is displacing people, but workers aren't going anywhere, they're still working, just some in different ways, and that collective power is still there as well if utilized. Workers' best defense against the attacks of capitalism is still unions. There needs to be a fight to strengthen them, and part of that is redefining who resides and leads in them as well. Which I think we're seeing lately as many unions have begun speaking out more against racism and sexism, and supporting The Fight for 15.
My question pertains to your general position on compromise policies like the ones we saw in the lead up to the Affordable Care Act. How does the Communist party view solutions like a public healthcare option, as opposed to a blanket "Medicare for all" approach? Also what role, if any, does the Communist party see in protecting private corporations? Would a president from CPUSA have supported the auto bailout, or FDIC banking protections?
Roberta Wood responds:
I was not happy with the ACA when it was passed, with all its weaknesses. I would have greatly preferred single payer. By the way, though, single payer isn't perfect. It does NOT take profit out of health care. I would prefer a socialized health care system, under democratic controls. That being said, the reality is that to change our healthcare system takes an act of Congress. The ACA, bad as it was, only squeaked thru Congress. To get it thru, horrible compromises were made to make pharma and other parts of the for profit medical businesses on board. But in retrospect, ACA with all its weaknesses was a big step forward because it established the principle of universal health care. A more advanced ground from which to struggle. If Obama had held out for the more perfect, single payer, for which a Congressional majority was not achievable, we would now be struggling from a much weaker position. It was that awful alliance with Big Pharma, who got on board for their own greedy reasons, that made the ACA victory possible.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to answer all of the questions people had for us. Here are some that stimulated our thinking. Use the comments to let us know how you would respond!
What is the CPUSA's stance on gun control and the second amendment? Despite being a rabid lefty in almost everything else, I oppose ridiculous California-style gun control.
What is the Communist Party USA's stance on religious freedom? If it is different from the Soviet Union's adoption of atheism, what do you think went wrong?
How are you going to make big corporations give up money and power and happily agree to a change as big as [replacing capitalism with socialism]?
Do you, or other Communists, experience unfair treatment because of your political beliefs?

Toward a Framework for Implementation ofClimate Change Treaty through Self-enforcing Mechanisms
Working Papers Toward a Framework for Implementation ofClimate Change Treaty through Self-enforcing Mechanisms
Author(s): Meeta Keswani Mehra Saptarshi Mukherjee Monica Dutta
Global warming caused by accumulation of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is a public bad, addressing which requires collective action by all the countries of the world. Under the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), most countries have negotiated the Kyoto Protocol for GHG emissions control to stabilize climate change. Several issues about the Protocol remain unresolved — first, most of the significant countries are required to take a decision on whether or not to sign such a protocol, which has large-scale implications for their energy and industrial sectors and economic well-being; second, climate change mitigation is a public good entailing that all the countries would stand to gain due to mitigation action taken by a sub-group of one or more countries; and third, there exists no supra-national authority to enforce such a protocol for the individual sovereign nations. Thus, commitment to cooperate on an international agreement on climate change control remains tenuous. Formally, such
a cooperative model is likely to be unstable. The paper discusses the pros and cons of the already proposed international cooperative mechanisms toward climate change mitigation and highlights the problem of information revelation, particularly related to the abatement issues. In this context, it attempts to outline a structure of a selfenforcing burden sharing mechanism for climate change mitigation in an incomplete information framework. The mechanism is an adoption of the well-known VickreyClarke-Groves mechanism, widely used in mechanism design theory.

On this day in 1804, at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor of the French, the first French Emperor in a thousand years. The next year, on December 2, 1805, French troops under Napoleon Bonaparte defeated a joint Russo-Austrian force at the Battle of Austerlitz during the Napoleonic Wars. Less than fifty years later, on December 2, 1851, French President Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte overthrew the Second Republic. Then, on December 2, 1852, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte became Emperor of the French as Napoleon III. The article presents a timeline of these and other key events in French history, including the wider francophone world.
Medieval France
On September 28, 1066, a warrior leader known as William the Bastard invaded England from Normandy in what is now France. You probably know him better as William the Conqueror, a much catchier name. William the Bastard was the illegitimate son of the Duke of Normandy.
On October 14, 1066, the Normans under William the Conqueror defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings. This date is one that you might find on a high school or college history test or perhaps on the television trivia show Jeopardy.
On June 19, 1269, the King of France, Louis IX, ordered that any Jew found in any public place not wearing the obligatory yellow badge would be fined 10 livres of silver.
Fans of the film Braveheart may recall the heir to England's throne, future king Edward II, having eyes for men rather than his French wife, Isabella the She-wolf. One of these men, Hugh Despenser, 1st Lord Despenser (c. 1286 – November 24, 1326), became a victim of that vengeful woman in one of history's all-time most brutal executions, because as they say, well, sort of, "Hell hath no fury like a she-wolf scorned"!
On August 2, 1343, Olivier Clisson, a French nobleman from Brittany, was convicted of treason in Paris and beheaded. He had been fighting the British in the Hundred Years War, and when his success tapered off, he was criticized and accused of treason, perhaps to deflect blame from French losses.
On October 29, 1390, Paris, France got its first taste of professional witch hunting when the first of two witchcraft trials began in the French capital. Religious persecution of witches was nothing new, with records of arraignments by ecclesiastical authorities going back to 1275, but now the secular authorities, i.e. the state authorities, were involved.
On June 4, 1411, King Charles IV of France granted a monopoly to the people of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon for the ripening of Roquefort cheese. Today, what we call "bleu cheese" is basically Roquefort cheese that is not from Roquefort, as only the cheese from that original location is allowed to bear that name.
On July 7, 1456, Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc) was acquitted of heresy. Unfortunately, the acquittal came 25 years after she was convicted of heresy and burned at the stake.
On January 21, 1535, in the aftermath of "The Affair of the Placards," French Protestants were burned at the stake in front of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris.
On June 20, 1559, King Henry II of France engaged in a jousting tournament when his opponent's lance pierced the face guard of Henry's helmet, sending splinters into his face, eye, and brain.
On July 25, 1593, Henry IV, King of France, converted from Calvanist Protestant back to the Catholicism of his birth. Henry had been raised Protestant, even though he was baptized Catholic. His conversion back to Catholic came in the midst of the Wars of Religion, battles between Catholic and Protestant Europeans.
On August 18, 1634, Urbain Grandier was convicted of sorcery and burned alive in France.
On May 7, 1664, King Louis XIV of France began construction on the Palace of Versailles, one of the most iconic structures in the world and the symbol of the throne of France.
On August 4, 1693, the monk Dom Peringnon is traditionally believed to have invented Champagne. This is not the case, but many people still believe he did, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. Many historical "facts" believed by the general public are simply not accurate.
On September 1, 1715, King Louis XIV of France died after having ruled for 72 years, the longest reign of a king or queen of any major European country. Many Frenchmen were born and died during his time on the throne and never knew any other monarch.
On November 29, 1729, the Native American Natchez people who had been living peacefully with their French colonist neighbors in the area of what is now Natchez, Mississippi rose up and attacked the French, killing 138 men, 56 children and 35 women at the French Fort Rosalie.
On February 22, 1744, the British Royal Navy began an engagement with Spanish and French naval ships in a sea battle off the coast of Toulon, France in the Mediterranean Sea, a battle that was a defeat for the British and one of the most humiliating fiascos in Royal Navy history, The Battle of Toulon.
On August 4, 1761, the first veterinary school of medicine was founded by Claude Bourgelat in Lyon, France
On August 15, 1769, Napoleon Bonaparte was born. He would later go on to be known for many things but not his tights! Much has been written about Napoleon, but somehow this piece of clothing was always deemed too insignificant for historians to mention.
On May 16, 1770, the 14 year old Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna of the House Habsburg-Lorrainne married Louis-Auguste, Dauphin (heir to the throne) of France, House of Bourbon. During her short (23 years) life to follow, Queen Marie Antoinette, as she became when Louis became King Louis XVI of France, came to symbolize the callous indifference to the plight of peasants.
On September 3, 1783, the treaty that ended the American Revolutionary War was signed in Paris, France, thus becoming known as the Treaty of Paris. Paris is often referred to as The City of Light, and many other cities have notable nicknames as well.
On June 4, 1784, Élisabeth Thible became the first woman to fly in an untethered hot air balloon, soaring for a 4 kilometer trip that took 45 minutes and reached perhaps 5000 feet above the ground, making her the world's first female aviatrix.
Modern France
On October 5, 1789, the women of Paris marched to Versailles to confront King Louis XVI about his refusal to abolish feudalism, to demand bread, and to force the King and his court to move to Paris.

On September 11, 1792, in the midst of the confusion of the French Revolution, the crown jewels, which included the fabulous Hope Diamond ("Le Bleu de France"), were stolen.
On January 21, 1793, King Louis XVI of France was convicted of treason and taken to the guillotine where he was promptly beheaded, just one of the many instances of famous beheadings in a long history of human violence, both intentional and accidental, both by the state as an execution or by criminal action, and even by our animal "friends."
On November 10, 1793, the government of revolutionary France rejected traditional religion (mostly Catholic in France) and inserted a Cult of Reason as the national "religion." The French revolutionaries had rejected any form of deity for a secular, scientific explanation of the universe and all in it.
On June 26, 1794, the army of the First Republic of France (the result of the French Revolution) made the first use of balloons in combat at the Battle of Fleurus against the forces of the First Coalition.
On January 23, 1795, one of the most unusual battles in history took place when a force of French cavalry galloped across the frozen Zuiderzee to capture 14 Dutch ships and seize 850 guns (cannon).
On August 2, 1798, during the French Revolutionary Wars, the French fleet supporting then General Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt was defeated soundly by the British at the Battle of the Nile.
On July 15, 1799, French soldiers in Egypt discovered The Rosetta Stone, which is inscribed with three versions of a decree issued at Memphis, Egypt in 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty on behalf of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes.

On April 26, 1802, Napoleon Bonaparte signed a general amnesty for those members of the émigrés of the French Revolution, those royalists and others opposed to the French Revolution that had fled France.
On May 5, 1802, two of Napoleon's generals entered into a pistol duel to the death over perceived insults between them.
On May 19, 1802, Napoleon Bonaparte founded the Legion of Honor, the highest award France can bestow upon their heroes.
On May 28, 1802, 400 former slaves revolting against the reinstatement of slavery by the French under Napoleon Bonaparte in the Caribbean department of Guadalupe blew themselves up rather than surrender to the French.
On November 18, 1803, Haitians won their independence, not with the Devil's assistance, but with their victory at The Battle of Vertières, the last major battle of the Haitian Revolution.
On March 21, 1804, the Code Napoleon became the law of France, and went on to influence legal reforms in many other countries.
On December 2, 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte shocked the world by crowning himself Emperor of the French, taking the crown from the Pope and plopping it on his own head. Another 48 years later, his namesake, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned Emperor of France and given the title Napoleon III.
On October 8, 1806, British forces fighting the French at Boulogne used Congreve Rockets, the same type of rockets mentioned in the National Anthem of the United States ("…and the rockets red glare…").
On October 30, 1806, 5300 Prussian soldiers defending the city of Stettin surrendered to only 800 French soldiers commanded by General Lassalle, falling for the ruse that the French force was much larger.
On July 20, 1807, the government of Napoleon Bonaparte granted a patent to Nicephore Niepce for a device he called the Pyreolophore, the first internal combustion engine (ICE). Demonstrated by powering a small boat up a river, this was the beginning of a long and star crossed relationship between humans and ICE's. Powering cars, generators, airplanes, farm equipment, pumps, compressors, boats, lawn mowers and just about anything you can think of that needs power of some sort, the loud, smoke belching engines have been a constant companion of mankind for over 200 years now, slow to catch on, but taking over the bulk of our portable power needs once they got started. Today, every effort to vilify and find replacements for ICE's is the order of the day. Global warming (climate change), air pollution, and diminishing natural resources (oil) are ganging up on our old friend, causing many to believe its days are numbered.
On July 5, 1809, the forces of the French Empire (and her allies) fought the forces of the Austrian Empire (and her allies) at Wagram, Austria, an enormous battle that cost both sides a combined 80,000 casualties and was fought between over 300,000 soldiers fielding over 1000 pieces of artillery, making it perhaps the largest battle in European history up to its time and also the bloodiest military engagement of the entire Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars thus far.
On January 10, 1810, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France, divorced Josephine, Empress of France, the only woman Napoleon really loved.

From August 29-30, 1813, The Battle of Kulm was fought near the town Kulm (Chlumec) and the village Přestanov in northern Bohemia, during the War of the Sixth Coalition, part of the Napoleonic Wars.
On April 12, 1814, the Duke of Wellington danced a dance remarkably similar to the Carlton dance when he heard that Napoleon had abdicated.
On June 18, 1815, the combined forces of the Duke of Wellington and Gebhard von Blucher defeated the French army at the battle of Waterloo. The battle is remembered by history not as a victory of the British and Prussians, but as a defeat for Napoleon Bonaparte, his final major defeat.
On July 15, 1815, Emperor Napoleon I of France surrendered to the British aboard the HMS Bellerophon.
On May 5, 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte, erstwhile Emperor of France, died on the lonely island of St. Helena, whispering his last word, Josephine.

On October 25, 1854, The United Kingdom, The Ottoman Empire, and the French Empire fought against Russia in the Battle of Balaclava, which included the famous (and disastrous) "Charge of the Light Brigade".
On January 5, 1895, French Army officer Alfred Dreyfus was falsely convicted of treason and sentenced to live in prison at the dreaded Devil's Island prison in French Guiana. Closed since 1953, the name Devil's Island stands as the epitome of notorious miserable prisons, virtually synonymous with "hellhole."
On October 15, 1917, the famous exotic dancer and courtesan Mata Hari was executed by firing squad in France after having been found guilty of espionage.
On August 6, 1926, Gertrude Ederle became the first woman to swim across the English Channel, swimming from France to England. An American with German parents, Ederle had already won a Gold Medal and 2 Bronze Medals in the 1924 Olympics when she dared the cold, rough waters of the Channel.
On May 8, 1927, 2 weeks before Charles Lindbergh and his Spirit of St. Louis flew into history, two Frenchmen made the first attempt at a Paris to New York (or New York to Paris) flight and disappeared somewhere over the Atlantic.
On August 27, 1928, countries that were bitter enemies in World War I signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact in Paris to renounce war as a means to resolve disputes and conflicts between nations. Within a year's time, a total of 62 countries had signed.

On September 14, 2012, in a major invasion of privacy, the French magazine Closer published topless photographs of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. This incident led to a major outcry as "Kate" was vacationing at a private residence, and many felt the paparazzi had once again overstepped the boundaries of the socially and morally acceptable.
On January 7, 2015, a day celebrated by millions of Eastern Orthodox Christians (Greek Catholic, Russian Orthodox, Ukrainian Catholic, etc) as Christmas Day, France was stunned by a vicious terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper offices that left 12 people dead and another 11 wounded.
On April 15, 2019, we have the sad duty to inform our readers that one of the great historical cathedrals in the world, Notre Dame in Paris, France, has been burning for the past few hours and is virtually destroyed.

Q: Are there any downsides to storing properties on Javascript arrays? I know that Javascript Arrays are actually objects, and because they are objects, they can have properties. Here's an example:
var a = [1, 2, 3];
a.currentIndex = 2;
a.next = function() { ... };
a.prev = function() { ... };

a.length // returns 3

To me this seems like it could come in very handy. I see numerous reasons why you might want to store state or utility functions on the actual array itself and not on some other variable. It even seems better than having the array as a property of an object with the other stuff stored on that object.
Here's my question:
Does anyone know of any issues with storing properties on a Javascript array? Does it work in all browsers? Is there any evidence that this will change with future versions of Javascript? Is there any general wisdom about whether or not it's a good practice?
(p.s. For the record, I don't need to iterate over the array with a for...in loop. I understand that such a loop would include the properties as well)

A: Since you already ruled out the for in issue, my answer here is a clear "no" - there is no issue to worry about. All Array.prototype methods will only apply on the "indexed" keys (0...n).
The best example here is the well know jQuery library, it also uses Array-Like objects to store DOM nodes on but it also has lots of methods which are attached to that object (jQuery uses the prototype there tho). However, other librarys like Zepto, just put those methods directly on the "array" object itself.
So again, no there is no other caveat and you're save doing it.

A: Just throwing out one more thing -- None of the "copying" array prototype functions will copy any of your extra properties, if that's important, i.e. .splice, .slice, concat will give you new "clean" arrays without currentIndex, etc

A: Yes it works in all browsers. And it is valid javascript (arrays are objects). One could think of a number of reasons why you want to use the Array constructor instead of an object, but if this is your preferred coding style, go with it.

New techniques are developed for producing synthetic catalogues of galaxies

SCIENCE COMMUNICATION AND OUTREACH UNIT
Balaguera-Antolínez, A.; Kitaura, Francisco-Shu et al. "One simulation to have …
The group of Cosmology and Large Scale Structure at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has developed, using the BAM (Bias Assignment Method) numerical computer code, a novel strategy to generate precise synthetic catalogues of galaxies to reproduce the observations of the census of galaxies, which will help to yield valuable cosmological information and to elucidate the nature of dark energy.
This development, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS), should offer great progress in understanding the relation between the objects made up of dark matter which have collapsed under gravity (known as dark matter halos), which house the galaxies, and the underlying cosmic web.
The IAC Severo Ochoa researcher Andrés Balaguera-Antolínez, who is the main developer of the BAM numerical code, says that the code is based "on the idea of mapping the distribution of the halos within the dark matter by complex analytical models. BAM takes a step forward in learning, through N-body simulations, all the statistical characteristics of the distribution of halos in the Universe, which would be hard to describe by an equation".
"To understand better the importance of this work, let us imagine a floor covered with tiles of different colours and shapes, which form a pattern similar to a Roman mosaic. Suddenly, a wizard arrives with a pack of cards and distributes the cards, each on a different tile, according to some secret rules. The rules are related to the colour, the suit, or the number of the card, and the tiles and their colours, shapes or situations within the pattern, as well as the interactions between the cards and the tiles. The game consists in working out the rules of the wizard", explains Francisco-Shu Kitaura, coauthor of the articles, and leader of the group of Cosmology and Large Scale Structure at the IAC.
"In our case, the cards are the number of halos and their properties in the elements of cosmic volumen, and the mosaics are the distribution of dark matter defined in the corresponding volumen element. The pattern formed by the tiles is the cosmic web which results from the formation of structures. We have developed the machinery which reveals the rules of the wizard", explains Kitaura.
In fact, what this team has achieved is that the distribution of the resulting halos is equivalent to detailed calculations of gravity with N-body codes, which saves between 4 and 5 orders of magnitude in the computation time. The BAM code can reproduce the distributon of dark matter and its tracers within the Universe, and it does this in a matter of minutes, so that it can generate thousands of catalogues. This allows the estimation of the uncertainties for a unique Universe in which the "dice" of the distribution of the structures which conform it are thrown only once.
"When we looked at the results we were surprised by the precision attained by our method compared with the costly simulation calculations. They are indistinguishable", claim Marcos Pellejero-Ibáñez, a former doctoral student at the IAC and now a Juan de la Cierva researcher at the Donostia International Physics Centre, and Martha Lippich (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Germany) who took care of the statistical analysis, and co-authored on other articles about the BAM code.
The "machinery" developed by the LSS team permits the generaton of statistically independent replicas of the observed Universe. This is a necessary job for an exhaustive statistical analysis of the millions of galaxies which are expected to be observed by experiments in which the IAC is participating. The precision of these results is based on detailed comparisons with numerical simulations generated by Claudio dalla Vecchia, IAC researcher, and Ariel Sánchez (MPE), both coauthors of the main article.
"The process of replicating the Universe with BAM is very similar to that adopted by the Spanish conquistadores in the New World during the XVI century", Balaguera-Antolínez assures us. "They exported a 'city model' inspired by the recently founded (1497) city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, and they replicated the same global structure (pattern of the streets, assignment of terrain, hierarchical distribution around the main square of the city) in different landscapes, geographies and climates. Today, from La Laguna, we are not replicating cities, but entire Universes".

A planet in the process of formation found round the nearby young star AU Mic
An international team of scientists, with the participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has discovered a planet of the size of Neptune orbiting in rather more than a week around AU Microscopii, a young star a little over of 30 light years away, and surrounded by a disc of debris left over from its formation. The data were obtained with NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the Spitzer Space Telescope (now retired from service). The Discovery is published today in Nature magazine. The finding in this system, abbreviated as AU Mic, will be a unique
Nightside condensation of iron in an ultrahot giant exoplanet
Ultrahot giant exoplanets receive thousands of times Earth's insolation. Their high-temperature atmospheres (greater than 2,000 kelvin) are ideal laboratories for studying extreme planetary climates and chemistry. Daysides are predicted to be cloud-free, dominated by atomic species and much hotter than nightside. Atoms are expected to recombine into molecules over the nightside, resulting in different day and night chemistries. Although metallic elements and a large temperature contrast have been observed, no chemical gradient has been measured across the surface of such an exoplanet

The country is experiencing a fresh focus on products and produce that are crafted or grown close to home, with an emphasis on eating local. One of the hottest trends in this movement is the use of local honey for both medicinal and flavoring purposes; Wise Business Plans has noticed the buzz and is proud to announce that they will now be producing custom plans for small, independent honey producers.
"There is such demand for local and specialty honeys now, and beekeeping has become an increasingly popular urban activity," said Joseph Ferriolo, director of Wise, which creates custom-crafted business plans for companies of all sizes. "There's just something luxurious and decadent about honey, yet it's also a taste of home. There's no wonder it remains a popular treat."
But there's more to the honey market than just its sweet flavor, he said.
"Many allergy sufferers swear by local honey as a way to lessen their seasonal woes," Ferriolo said. "And as a natural sweetener with a flavor of its own, it's used to satisfy a sweet tooth instead of plain sugar."
According to the Department of Agriculture, the market remains strong and is expected strong and is expected to continue its present pattern of growth.
But, as a specialty, niche industry, it takes careful planning to really thrive and grow as a honey producer.
"Many people look at bees, beekeeping and honey producing as almost a hobby business, but it doesn't have to be that way. With careful planning and a good marketing strategy, you can find sweet success."


In today's Geek School lesson, we're going to explain how to use the Local Group Policy editor to make changes to your PC that aren't available any other way.
We should note right up-front that the Group Policy editor is only available in the Pro versions of Windows – Home or Home Premium users won't have access to it. It's still worth learning about though.
Group Policies are a really powerful way to setup a corporate network with each of the computers locked down so users can't mess them up with unwanted changes, and stop them from running unapproved software, among many other uses.
In the home environment, however, you probably won't want to set password length restrictions or force yourself to change your password. And you probably won't need to lock down your machines to only run specific approved executables.
There are many other things that you can configure though, like disabling Windows features that you don't like, blocking certain applications from running, or creating scripts that run during Logon or Logoff.
The interface is very similar to every other administration tool – the treeview on the left allows you to look for settings in a hierarchical folder structure, there is a list of settings, and a preview panel that gives you more information about the particular setting.
Computer Configuration – holds settings that are applied to computers regardless of which user is logging in.
User Configuration – holds settings that are applied to user accounts.
Software Settings – this folder is meant for software-related configurations and is blank by default on client Windows.
Windows Settings – this folder holds security settings and scripts for logon/logoff and startup/shutdown.
Administrative Templates – this folder holds registry-based configurations, which are essentially a quick way to tweak settings on your computer or for your user account. There are a lot of available settings.
If you were to double-click on the "Prevent access to the command prompt" item from the screenshot above, you would be presented with a window that looks like this one – in fact, most of the settings under Administrative Templates are going to look similar.
This particular setting would allow you to block access to the command prompt for users on the PC. You can also configure the setting inside the dialog to block batch files as well.
Another option in the same folder allows you to create a setting for "Run only specified Windows applications" – you would configure the setting to Enabled and then provide a list of allowed applications. Everything else would be blocked from running.
In this case, if you were to run an application that isn't on the list, you would get an error message like this one.
It's worth noting that messing with rules like this could lock you out of your PC if you do something wrong, so be careful.
Under the Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options folder, you'll find a bunch of interesting settings to make your computer a bit more secure.
The first option can be found in that folder as the item "User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for Administrators", and if you choose "Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop", it will force you (or another user) to enter your password anytime you try to run something in administrator mode.
This option makes Windows work more like Linux or Mac, where you are asked to provide your password any time you need to make a change, and since the Secure Desktop doesn't allow any other applications to mess with the dialog, it's a lot more secure.
User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated – this option prohibits applications that aren't digitally signed from running as administrator.
Recovery console, allow automatic administrative logon – when you need to use the recovery console to perform system tasks, you generally have to provide the administrator password. If you happened to forget that password, this would allow you to get in to reset it more easily. (And since you can easily wipe a Windows password, it isn't really less secure).
One thing that's worth noting is that many of the policies in the list don't actually apply to every Windows version. For example, in the screenshot below, the "Remove My Documents Icon" setting is only available for Windows XP and 2000. Certain other policies will say "At least Windows XP" or something like that, which would mean they will continue to work on all versions.
There are an enormous number of settings in the Group Policy editor, so it is definitely worth spending some time looking through them if you're curious. Most of the settings allow you to disable Windows features that you don't particularly like – very few give you functionality that you didn't have by default.
Yet another example of something you can only do using the Group Policy editor is setting up a logoff or shutdown script to run every time you reboot your PC.
This can be really useful for cleaning up your system or making a quick backup of certain files every time you shut down, and you can use batch files or even PowerShell scripts for either. The only caveat is that these scripts must run silently or they will lock up the logoff process.
There are two different types of scripts that you can run.
Startup / Shutdown Scripts – these scripts are found under Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts and will be run under the Local System account, so they can manipulate system files, but won't be running as your user account.
Logon / Logoff Scripts – these scripts are found under User Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts and will be run under your user account.
It's worth noting that the logon and logoff scripts won't let you run utilities that require administrator access unless you've got UAC completely disabled.
For today's example, we'll make a logoff script by heading down to User Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts and double-clicking on Logoff.
The Logoff properties window allows you to add multiple logoff scripts to run.
You can also configure PowerShell scripts instead.
The really important thing to note here is that your scripts need to be in a particular folder for them to work properly.
Once you've configured your logoff script, you can test it out – we setup a simple script that created a text file on the desktop, and then logged off and back on. But you could make it do anything you wanted.
And of course, if you were doing a logon script instead, it could actually launch applications.
One important thing to note is that if your script prompts for user input, Windows will hang during shutdown or logoff for 10 minutes before the script is killed and Windows can reboot. This is something you should definitely keep in mind when designing your script.
We just scratched the surface for what Group Policy can really do, and in a corporate domain environment it is one of the most powerful and important tools at your disposal. Since this series isn't about IT users, we won't go into all of the rest, but it's worthwhile to do some research on your own.


Sri Lanka could do little to thwart a clinical Indian bowling performance losing five wickets for 154 runs by stumps on day two of the First Test which continued at the Galle International Stadium yesterday. This was after India had piled up a massive 600 runs in their first innings.
Fast-bowler Nuwan Pradeep's maiden five-wicket haul in international cricket (six for 132) had helped end India's innings shortly before tea. But Sri Lanka's batsmen failed to show the command their opponents had with the bat and find themselves facing the reality of a follow-on when play continues today (28). Pradeep became the first Sri Lankan fast-bowler to take five wickets in an innings in Sri Lanka since Lasith Malinga returned figures of five for 50 against the same opponents at this same venue in 2010.
In their reply, Sri Lanka lost a wicket and a review as early as the second over when Dimuth Karunaratne was beaten by Umesh Yadav's pace and was given out leg before wicket.The review, which Karunaratne took after consulting his partner Upul Tharanga seemed a waste one even to the naked eye and replays only proved as much with Hawkeye showing that the ball was destined for the middle of the middle stump.
Debutant Danushka Gunathilaka hit two boundaries before his attempts for a third saw him flash at a ball outside off-stump with Shikhar Dhawan taking a comfortable catch at first slip while ending a 61-run partnership with Tharanga. Kusal Mendis was dismissed in that same Mohammed Shami over holding his bat out and sending another catch to Dhawan as Sri Lanka were reduced to 68 for three.
Tharanga had made a positive start to his innings, getting a half-century in 43 balls with his 10th boundary but took a more subdued approach as Ravichandran Ashwin began to extract turn, facing 49 balls to score his next 14 runs.Tharanga was then beaten by the quickness of silly point fielder Abhinav Mukund as he was run out with his bat bounding off the ground.
It also ended the opener's 57-run partnership with Angelo Mathews. Mukund produced another exceptional piece of skill in the same position, to snare Niroshan Dickwella's block before it touched the ground. Angelo Mathews survived a review thanks to the Umpire's original decision. The Hawkeye showed the ball would not hit enough of the wicket for the decision to be overturned. Mathews showed some aggression hitting eight boundaries and a six on the way to his half-century.
Earlier, Cheteshwar Pujara reached the first milestone of the day when he got past 150 in the sixth over of play. Sri Lanka also broke the 137-run partnership between Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. Four overs later Rahane was also caught behind when he reached out to drive Lahiru Kumara's first ball of the day. A 59-run partnership between Ravichandran Ashwin and Wriddhiman Saha quelled Sri Lanka's momentum before Herath took his first wicket of the Test to dismiss the Indian wicket-keeper.
Pradeep then completed his five-wicket haul in the next over when Ashwin's attempted pull sent another edge to Dickwella with India reaching lunch at 503 for seven. Hardik Pandya, dropped on four in the second over after the break by Karunaratne, put on a 62-run partnership with Mohammed Shami which came in just 51 balls before he was the last man out, not long after reaching his fifty on his debut. He scored at more than a run a ball with five boundaries and three sixes before picking out substitute fielder Dhananjaya de Silva at deep square leg.

Don't forget the suffering people, Kinshasa archbishop tells new president
'I am afraid that there will be no change and that the same old system will continue,' Archbishop Fridolin Ambongo of Kinshasa says of Felix Tshisekedi's victory

By Lucie Sarr | Congo
The archbishop of Kinshasa has 'advised' the winner of disputed presidential elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo not to forget the people.
"I am afraid that there will be no change and that the same old system will continue," Archbishop Fridolin Ambongo of Kinshasa told France 24 TV on Jan. 22, three days after the Constitutional Council confirmed Felix Tshisekedi's victory in the presidential election.
"My message to the new president is that he must not forget where he has come from," he added. "That he mustn't forget the combat of the suffering people."
Archbishop Ambongo's statement appears to express a widespread fear within the Church in DR Congo that an understanding had been reached for a "sharing of power" between Tshisekedi and outgoing president Joseph Kabila.
This hypothesis is premised on the former opposition leader's initial statement after the election in which he appealed to voters to no longer consider Kabila as an enemy but look on him as a "partner." It is also based on the outcome of the parliamentary election, which resulted in an absolute majority for the pro-Kabila forces.
The Independent National Election Commission (CENI) officially declared Tshisekedi the winner of the presidential election on Jan. 10.
But the National Episcopal Conference of the Congo cast doubt over the result the same day, arguing that its observers had identified a different winner from the one indicated by CENI.
Opposition leader, Martin Fayulu, who came second according to CENI figures, lodged an appeal with the Constitutional Court seeking a recount.
But the judges ruled that the appeal was out of order, characterizing it as "absurd."
CENI alone 'provided authentic and sincere results'
The bishops' conference has not yet expressed a view on the Constitutional Court's decision.
However, Archbishop Ambongo's statement reminding Tshisekedi of the months-long fight by the opposition, including himself and the Church, to force Kabila to renounce a third presidential term amounts to a warning.
According to several leaks, the Congolese bishops will not send a representative to Tshisekedi's investiture ceremony on Jan. 24.
The international community
Nonetheless, the international community now appears ready to accept the new Congolese president.
On Jan. 20, the African Union, which two days earlier called for the DR Congo to suspend the announcement of the election results and to urgently accept an official visit to Kinshasa by its representatives, has now made an about-face.
It has now postponed the visit, declaring that it has "taken note" of the definitive results.
Member countries of the Southern African Development Community also called on Congolese citizens and the international community to "accept the result, consolidate democracy and maintain a peaceful and stable environment following historic elections."
And the governments of South Africa and Tanzania have congratulated Tshisekedi for his victory.
