Choices: Litigate now, litigate later, or . . .
Niagara Falls, Ontario,
by: Joe Hueglin
The article Softwood lumber draft plan hits snag was a gross understatement, not one snag had developed but many in finalizing the Canadian-American Softwood Lumber Agreement.
Romeo St. Martin assessment, Softwood talks go down to the wire, was accurate - the time has passed because of the snags to introduce the ways and means motion for a vote necessary for the Agreement to be in place before the House breaks for the summer so immediate political pressure is off.
According to Harper defends lumber deal with U.S. as disagreements delay final package the Prime Minister contended "This is a good deal for our softwood industry, a good deal for Canada," Harper said. "It's why a vast majority of the industry supports it. It's why the provinces support it."
B.C. Forests Minister Rich Coleman, however, was quoted as saying "It doesn't matter to me whether it takes a week, 10 days, or two weeks. We are [going to get] our language." in U.S. must give on softwood
deal, B.C. says while "Ontario Natural Resources Minister David Ramsay said his province is worried because the United States is pushing for a mechanism to solve future timber disputes that would contradict the North American free-trade agreement" and so Ontario lobbies to change lumber deal
Is it so that Harper feels heat on softwood ? If not, he should be. "To express their concerns, at least 80 Canadian lumber companies filed suits in a U.S. Court of International Trade case over the last two weeks. As no deal can be ratified unless all suits are withdrawn, companies say they are protecting their interests should Canada sign a deal they do not support." As well, as reported in Mill startup date unknown ,the price of lumber is falling toward the figure where export tax cuts in under the Agreement as written.
American lumber interests continue to be protected whether the Agreement is signed or not. Their $500 000 000.00 U.S. is assured should there be final agreement. If not their Canadian competitors will continue to pay duties, to be raise to 14.7 per cent from 10.8 per cent according to US raises softwood duties.
Softwood talks hit impasse suggests "the removal of a legislative deadline means talks would resume on a more reasonable, less pressurized basis." Less pressurized at the moment because the political value of signing the deal when President and Prime Minister meet next month has been lost.
Gone for now, yes, but as the increase in duties comes nearer and should prices continue to fall, pressure will build within Canada to press forward with litigation of the United States challenge to the March 17, 2006 NAFTA PANEL affirmation that Canadian softwood lumber is not subsidized .
The Prime Minister will face the problem of deciding which course of action to take, pressing for talks in the face of all the snags or ending them and litigating.
Reality is the terms of the NAFTA Agreement dispute settlement mechanism at some point in the future will have to be litigated to a conclusion. Once successful in circumventing it through the Canadian-American Softwood Lumber Agreement the precedent will have been set as the standard operating procedure of the Americans.
In his defence of the Agreement Monday "International Trade Minister David Emerson told the House that the alternative to this agreement is more costly trade litigation and continued punitive U.S. duties that are damaging the forest industry." The long range perspective, if the NAFTA is to be upheld by the Prime Minister, is Canada accepting the costs of finishing the current litigation before NAFTA panels now in its final stages or starting again from the beginning on some future issue.
There is of course another alternate completely, accepting as the norm the pattern being currently set on the softwood dispute, ignore NAFTA and accept terms set by the Americans.

Fish-Associated Foodborne Disease Outbreaks: United States, 1998-2015. - PubMed - NCBI
New Data on Outbreaks Linked to Fish
Fish continue to be an important source of foodborne outbreaks, according to a CDC study. "Fish-Associated Foodborne Disease Outbreaks: United States, 1998-2015" was published in Foodborne Pathogens and Disease. The types of fish most often linked to outbreaks are tuna (37%), mahi-mahi (10%), and grouper (9%).
The study reviewed nearly two decades of data on foodborne disease outbreaks. It found that the average number of outbreaks linked to fish decreased from 62 per year between 1998 and 2006 to 34 per year from 2007 to 2015. However, the percentage of outbreaks linked to fish did not change when compared to all foodborne outbreaks (8% from 1998 to 2006 compared to 9% from 2007 to 2015).
The number of fish outbreaks varied greatly by year, and occurred more often in warmer months. Many regulations around fisheries and fish products were implemented during the study period and may be partly responsible for overall decline in fish outbreaks.

Fish-Associated Foodborne Disease Outbreaks: United States, 1998-2015.
Barrett KA1, Nakao JH1, Taylor EV2, Eggers C3, Gould LH1.
Each year in the United States, ∼260,000 people get sick from contaminated fish. Fish is also the most commonly implicated food category in outbreaks. We reviewed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance System for outbreaks resulting from consumption of fish during the period 1998-2015. We found 857 outbreaks associated with fish, resulting in 4815 illnesses, 359 hospitalizations, and 4 deaths. The median number of illnesses per outbreak was three (range: 2-425). The annual number of fish-associated outbreaks declined from an average of 62 per year during the period 1998-2006 to 34 per year during the period 2007-2015. Hawaii (221 outbreaks [26%]) and Florida (203 [24%]) reported the most outbreaks. Among 637 outbreaks (74%) with a confirmed etiology, scombrotoxin (349 [55%]) and ciguatoxin (227 [36%]) were by far most common. Most outbreak-associated illnesses were caused by scombrotoxin (1299 [34%]), Salmonella (978 [26%]), and ciguatoxin (894 [23%]). Most hospitalizations were caused by Salmonella (97 [31%]) and ciguatoxin (96 [31%]). Norovirus (105 average illnesses; range: [6-380]) and Salmonella (54 [3-425]) caused the largest outbreaks. Fish types implicated most often were tuna (37%), mahi-mahi (10%), and grouper (9%). The etiology-fish pairs responsible for the most outbreaks were scombrotoxin and tuna (223 outbreaks), scombrotoxin and mahi-mahi (64), and ciguatoxin and grouper (54). The pairs responsible for the most illnesses were scombrotoxin and tuna (720 illnesses) and Salmonella and tuna (660). Of the 840 outbreaks (98%) with a single location of food preparation, 52% were associated with fish prepared in a restaurant and 33% with fish prepared in a private home. Upstream control measures targeted to the most common etiologies and controls during processing and preparation could further reduce outbreaks caused by fish.

Q: Custom Fonts in Visualforce Page (renderas="pdf") Trying to use a custom font in my visualforce page (rendered as pdf). I have looked at many conflicting articles saying that the only option are the "limited" fonts supported, whereas others say that you can add the css as a static resource and reference (https://developer.salesforce.com/forums?id=906F000000096dcIAA   bottom comment).
Does anyone know if this is possible/had success with custom fonts before?

A: Assuming the PDF generation in Salesforce is based on Flying Saucer, the Flying Saucer FAQ includes an example of how to embed a custom font:
@font-face {
        font-family: "UbuntuMono";
        src: url("UbuntuMono-R.ttf");
        -fs-pdf-font-embed: embed;
        -fs-pdf-font-encoding: Identity-H;
}

* {
        font-family: "UbuntuMono";
}

which suggests it is possible. You would need to use a public URL for the font or a static resource URL.
But I have not tried it.
PS
Just spent 30 minutes trying to get this to work for a Google font and while it works well for the HTML output I could not get it to work for PDF output. So either by design or accident it looks like this does not work in Salesforce.

A: The current v31.0 "official" line is that there is a limited set of fonts available.

Fonts Available When Using Visualforce PDF Rendering

Visualforce PDF rendering supports a limited set of fonts. Use the following font names to ensure that PDF output renders as you expect.
The fonts available when you're rendering a page as a PDF are as follows. The first listed font-family value for each typeface is the recommended choice.

*These rules apply to server-side PDF rendering. You might see different results when viewing pages in a web browser.

*Text styled with any value besides those listed above receives the default font style, Times. This means that, ironically, while Helvetica's synonyms render as Helvetica, using "Helvetica" for the font-family style renders as Times. We recommend using "sans-serif".

*Arial Unicode MS is the only multibyte font available, providing support for the extended character sets of languages that don't use the Latin character set.

And it says, 'What constitutes evidence (i.e. is meant to be proven by evidence) is something which has clear proofs.

While most of the anabolic and androgenic effects are expressed through the androgen receptor, some anabolic steroids can have effects outside of the androgen receptorthat are not necessarily directly related to anabolic. Steroids have been shown to influence the expression of many genes involved in DNA replication, transcription, and chromatin modification ( ). There are many examples of how androgens alter the expression and function of genes and pathways in all cell types. However, the most significant anabolic compounds found to date include anabolic androgenic steroids, insulin and glucagon secretagogues, estrogens and cholesterol, and a number of other anabolic steroids and other growth factors ( ). Table 1 Author Source of data References androgen receptor 5α-Dihydrotestosterone Testosterone sulfate and DHT have been shown to inhibit growth factors from the androgen receptor, and a small subpopulation of cells within the estrogen receptor (ER-related protein) are downregulated by 5α-DHT in vitro.

Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War
Michael J. Neufeld
Chair, Space History Division
Wernher von Braun is probably the most famous and controversial rocket engineer of all time. In his lecture, Michael Neufeld discusses von Braun's biography, both his outstanding accomplishments as an engineering manager and space visionary in Germany and the U.S., and the Faustian bargain he made with the Third Reich, which led him to become a party member, SS officer and decision-maker in the exploitation of concentration-camp labor. It was a bargain that haunted him even later in his charmed life, when aspects of his Nazi past began to resurface. Of those who remember him today, most would like to pigeonhole him simply as a villain or a hero. In fact, he is a fascinating and disturbing combination of both, and his career says much about the roles and temptations of engineers and scientists in the twentieth century.
MICHAEL J. NEUFELD is Chair of the Space History Division of the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution. He has four history degrees, including a PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1984. Dr. Neufeld has written three books, The Skilled Metalworkers of Nuremberg (1989), The Rocket and the Reich (1995), which won two book prizes, and Von Braun (2007), which has won three awards, and has edited three others. He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, notably on the History Channel, C-SPAN, PBS and NPR, as well as the BBC, the German ZDF and other foreign outlets.
President Robin Taylor called the 2,275th meeting to order at 8:29 pm November 19, 2010 in the Powell Auditorium of the Cosmos Club.
Ms. Taylor introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. Michael J. Neufeld, chairman of the Space History Division of the National Air and Space Museum. Mr. Neufeld spoke on "Wernher von Braun, Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War."
Mr. Neufeld began with a song. "Wernher von Braun," a song from 1965 by the mathematician-singer-songwriter-pianist, Tom Lehrer, made musical points of von Braun's ambiguous history and expedient choices. The song, while it showed how famous von Braun was in 1965, also brought out something that bothered people – von Braun's Nazi past.
Mr. Neufeld's thesis was that von Braun was seized early and driven throughout life by a dream – to fly into space, and even to land on the Moon himself. The dream drove him into a Faustian bargain with the Third Reich. His qualifying talent was a genius for leading large projects. The dream led him through two extraordinary careers, first in the Third Reich and then in the United States.
A picture of a very young von Braun showed a cute, little, blond boy in front of a home with 11 windows across the top floor and rooms about 12 feet high. He was a child of the Prussian aristocracy and a baron himself.
At 13, he was sent to a boarding school because he was bad at science and math. About then, his mother gave him a telescope and he found a passion for astronomy. A book about space rocketry engaged him; he took up science and math seriously, and he became a late prodigy.
In 1933, he was a 20-year-old engineering student. He was recruited by the German army to enlist and do a Ph.D. on rocketry. The Ph.D. was the only university degree he ever earned. A picture from that time shows von Braun in back and Hitler in front with Karl Becker. Becker was the main advocate of development of rockets as weapons, an unusual idea at the time.
At 25, he was technical director of a team of 500 people. At age 30, he directed 6000. At 30, he also wore a Nazi party badge. His attitude about the Nazi party then isn't known, but whatever it was, he was a loyal servant of the Third Reich. He was glad to be working for the army, with its well-funded rocketry program.
The V2 rocket the army developed was an extraordinary thing. It was 42 feet high. Von Braun's team had solved the problem of directional stability. Most rockets then were small, with a few hundred pounds of thrust, and flew erratically.
He was recruited by the SS. In time, he joined. He was moved by the argument that it would be good for the rocket program.
The V2 program began to use concentration camp labor in the spring of 1943. In the fall, von Braun became involved in it.
After British air attacks on the V2 complex, it was moved underground. Conditions were horrible. Six thousand prisoners died in six months. Von Braun personally requested skilled prison labor from the director of the Buchenwald camp. How much control von Braun could have exercised over these things is not known. There is an example of von Braun trying to help one prisoner, and the V2 camp was better than the other prisoner camps.
Von Braun was briefly arrested by the Gestapo and jailed for ten days. He felt this was retaliation for resisting joining the SS. He was released because of his importance to the rocket program. After that he was more deferential to the SS and wore his SS uniform more often.
At the end of the war, he wanted to surrender to American forces. By luck, he was able to do so.
He was taken to Fort Bliss in Texas to work on an effort to bring German scientists to the U.S. to support military efforts to help defeat Japan. However, after the sudden fall of Japan, the program continued.
Von Braun was initially elated by the opportunity, but after a few years, he became dispirited. The mood in the U.S. did not favor military developments.
At age 35, in 1947, he flew back to Germany to marry his 18-year-old cousin. He was escorted by military police. He was a quasi-prisoner, his superiors were worried about a Soviet kidnaping.
To stimulate interest in space travel, he wrote a book about landing on Mars. The book was built around a proposal he wrote for a similar effort. It was "pretty awful," Mr. Neuberg said. It was rejected by 18 publishers.
When the Russians put the Sputnik in orbit in 1957, American interest in space, led by Eisenhower, caught fire. Von Braun's career caught fire with it. A series of Russian "firsts" fanned the flames, first satellite, first dog, first man in orbit, first to hit the moon, first to send a craft around the moon. Regaining the lead in space were important to Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. After a failed rocket launch in late '57, Eisenhower turned the job over to the army, and von Braun once again led a great rocket program as he followed his dream.
In 1960, there was a movie called, "I Aim at the Stars," ostensibly the words of von Braun. Today, the movie is best remembered for Mort Sahl's comment that it should have been subtitled, "But sometimes I hit London."
His only responsibility was the rockets. There was a series of them, ending with the Saturn V. It was a giant, with a height of 363 feet and 7.5 million pounds of thrust.
The moon program followed the Cuban Bay of Pigs invasion. Kennedy was looking for a visible way to restore the country's prestige. "A man on the moon, and returning(ing) him safely to earth," was the way. There was a picture of von Braun with Kennedy a few days before Kennedy was assassinated.
The moon landing in 1969 was the apogee of von Braun's career. The only disappointment was that he did not go himself.
In 1970, he came to Washington to be a salesman and planner for NASA. He was not very happy at this; he missed the excitement and challenge. Increasing awareness of his Nazi past meant he could not hold a prestigious office such as NASA Administrator. When the subject of the atrocities came up, he always expressed regret but never responsibility.
In 1972, he left NASA and went to Fairchild, in Germantown. He seemed happier there. He liked hardware much better than paper.
He had his first bout with kidney cancer in 1973. He recovered, but it recurred in 1975, and he was mostly sick after that. He died June 16, 1977.
The major accomplishments of his life were:
the V2
selling the American public on space travel
putting a person in space
landing humans on the moon
The first question was, "Was von Braun the one who designed the Saturn V? "You have to picture him as the head of an organization of thousands of people," Mr. Neufeld said. He was an engineering manager, and that was what his real talent was.
Another question was, was von Braun's service to the Nazi party a Faustian bargain? Was it a conscious decision, like Faust's? Not at first, Mr. Neufeld thought. He may well have sort of sleepwalked into it. But by 1940, he must have realized that it was a Faustian bargain. Then it was clear that he had to pay the price. Given very limited choices, he chose to identify himself as a Nazi. He became an SS officer. He did not want concentration camp labor, but he was told he had to do it that way.
After the address, Ms. Taylor thanked our speaker, welcomed him to membership in the Society, and presented a plaque commemorating the occasion.
The minutes of the 2,274th meeting were read and approved after a brief discussion.
Ms. Taylor made some administrative announcements. She encouraged visitors to consider membership and introduced the new membership chairman, Eric Epstein. She announced the next meeting. She delivered an invitation to Society members from the Policy Studies Organization to attend their Summit Meeting.
Finally, at 10:10 pm, she adjourned the 2,275th meeting to the social hour.

It turns out that the experience of getting a JD (especially on the two-year accelerated track that I've chosen) leaves little time for reflection, let alone writing, about that very experience, and here I am already at the end of my 1L year with not a single new post in this collection. But I have many thoughts, and hopefully I'll gradually find moments to share some of them over these next months.
It's difficult to separate the element of my age from the other factors that have characterized this JD adventure so far, most especially my anomalous idea of "fun" (which already involved reading SCOTUS opinions and law review articles) and the COVID-19-shaped wrench in the works of my 1L year. I can't report on whether the academic work is "hard" or "easy," because my standards are probably skewed; and I can't say whether I like "going to law school," because I've never yet physically been there for a class.
Sometime I hope to explore the cultural differences between the several generations represented in my accelerated JD cohort at Drexel, and celebrate the diversity of our group, cohesive despite the wide range in our ages. But today I find that the most salient feature of pursuing a JD at age 51 is my generational location between my parents and my kids. I started this day fielding a call from an ER doctor, because I hold Power of Attorney for my elderly dad who has vascular dementia and now COVID—and then packing a hasty bag lunch for my 22-year-old son, because he had slept through four alarms and was now late to his caregiving job. So this entry is a reflection on being daughter and mom while juggling Civ Pro, Pro Bono, and Blue Book.
My father graduated from Yale Law School in 1961, but I didn't know this until I was in my 40s. We weren't a storytelling family, and he hadn't practiced law in my living memory, gravitating instead to policy and consulting. Whenever I spoke to him by phone over this past year, from the start of my studies in May until just before he was hospitalized this November, he was delighted to hear that I was going to law school—every single time. His short-term memory had been reduced to a span of about twenty minutes, and his understanding of the contemporary world was locked somewhere around five years ago; but he could remember with precision the name of the undergrad who had inspired him to apply to YLS, and also how hard contracts class was.
I expect it's uncommon for a 1L to have Power of Attorney while studying to join that profession. Though my responsibilities for my two kids, 17 and 22, have gradually decreased, the reality of being on-call for my aging dad this year has increasingly been the subtext of my days, compounded by the threat of COVID. If he or my mom had gotten ill at home, I was the daughter who could most reasonably move in with them from my home in another state, especially since I was attending Drexel remotely anyway. Awareness of this possibility lit a fire under me for studying, as I calculated how far ahead I could get and still survive catching the virus myself without having to drop out.
First semester passed without incident. Meanwhile, I learned the joy of delegating meals and shopping to my college senior son and his high school senior sister, whose experimental culinary endeavors have added spice (sometimes too much) to our home life during COVID. Caleb stuck around for his fall semester, and Susanna was already home schooling, so here we were, the "Always At Home Club," together again. Unexpected benefits of our quarantine days have included Caleb's daily curating of the latest coronavirus news and Susanna's reading of Scott v. Sandford, Plessy v. Ferguson, and Brown v. Board of Education the same month my Con Law class tackled them.
I said my responsibilities for these two wonderful humans have decreased; but they haven't entirely disappeared: I'm still the mom they talk to, the kitchen boss, and the go-to parent for extra phone data and college recommendations (as the home school coordinator I count as Susanna's "counselor" for the Common App). I learned, after more than one unfortunate incident, that I should delegate meal prep when I have a memo due, and that people won't know to not talk outside the office door WHEN I'M TAKING A TIMED EXAM unless I tell them. Still, this is nothing like the parenting challenges of my classmates with younger kids, who still have to do taxi duty, make schedules and meals and doctor appointments, and persuade born performers not to steal the show on Zoom during Property. I really have had it easy on this front.
Second semester of 1L brought new frustrations (Civ Pro) and challenges (Pro Bono) and headaches (Blue Book), and again I worked as far ahead as I could in case something happened with my dad. And this time my manic pace paid off. Right before reading period, he took several falls and could not stand up again without help—EMS help, since my mom couldn't lift him either. My heroic husband broke quarantine to stay with them for a weekend, and within a day my dad was admitted to the hospital after falling out of bed.
The next weeks were a muddle of medical decisions, new contacts, and unpredictable texts and calls as my dad's care moved from the ER to hospital admission to a bed at a rehab facility. These also happened to be the weeks I was supposed to write two final papers, wrap up several shorter projects, and study for two exams. It all got done, with the help of an amazing team of siblings, spouse, and offspring—and compassionate professors who understood that if I vanished from the Zoom class, I was probably taking a call from the nutritionist or speech therapist, or giving permission for new medication.
Mercifully, my dad's condition mostly stabilized and did not worsen until after I had completed my exams. He was diagnosed with COVID one week ago, and the family has watched from afar as strangers have coaxed him to eat, to face time with my mom or my sisters, to interact at all. Today I made the difficult call—the reason we arranged for POA in the first place—to forgo invasive measures and just provide my dad with palliative care, there in the COVID unit of a hospital in Maryland that I've never seen and probably will never visit.
As I write this, my dad is not expected to live out the day. I've made my peace with his passing already, over these last years of his declining cognition. But I'm regretful that I've done this law school venture too late to really share it with him.
In Property class we touched on the topic of eminent domain, and of cities reviving "blighted" areas, often to the detriment of long-term residents who have everything to lose from the arrangement. I never really understood what my dad did for a living—we were not a storytelling family, and consulting with cities for block grants was not a concept readily adaptable to a child's understanding—but reading over the biographical sketch that he prepared while he was still cogent, I suddenly realized the connection. Ten years out of law school, my dad was (as he tells it) helping to write legislation intended to benefit, not harm, the residents of poorer urban neighborhoods. It's all still hidden for me in the mists of my early years in the 70s, and I am left with so many questions.
But hey, now I'm at law school; I can research this, and finally begin to understand my own father and his contributions, for better or for worse. I may not have Power of Attorney much longer, but I have some powerful attorney tools and skills at my fingertips. And Susanna has developed an interest in city planning, and Caleb is intrigued by public policy—so between us, we may just get to know my dad after his passing better than any of us did in life.

Chiltern Edge School could close after being placed in special measures
A consultation announced on the possible closure of failing Sonning Common secondary school
Julie SpencerReporter
Chiltern Edge School in Sonning Common could close following a damning report from Ofsted .
The comprehensive has been judged inadequate and placed in special measures after inspectors ruled pupils were being let down by poor teaching, leadership and ineffectual governors.
Student behaviour at the small village comprehensive was criticised by inspectors who said school leaders "did not tackle pupils' use of derogatory language, particularly towards those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities."
Some pupils regularly use homophobic language, teachers' expectations of pupils, especially boys, is too low and a high turnover of staff has led to disruptive behaviour in class and poor lesson planning.
Which are the top secondary schools in Berkshire?
The report follows the school's poor performance at GCSE in 2016.
Just 37 per cent of students achieved five A* to C passes, including English and Maths.
A consultation on the impact of closure has been announced by Oxfordshire County Council and will start on Friday, April 28 until June 16.
Lucy Butler, director of children's services, reassured families, stating that in the event of closure, all children would be transferred to better-performing schools.
How likely are you to win a school place appeal in Berkshire?
She said: "There are a number of serious issues raised by the Ofsted report and the council's priority is ultimately to ensure good educational opportunities are available to local families.
"That's why we have acted swiftly in seeking views on the school's future.
"This will be a very concerning situation and a time of great uncertainty for everyone associated with Chiltern Edge .
"We are working closely with the school to keep families fully informed of the situation.
"It's important to stress at this stage that no decisions have been taken and that the school would not close without appropriate transfer arrangements in place for every child to attend a better-performing school.
"We would encourage everyone with an interest in the provision of good quality education for children in the local area to take part in the consultation."
Reading secondary school places: Almost a quarter of children miss out on their first choice
Parents were notified in a letter from acting chair of governors, Pauline Conway and children were expected to be given the news today, Wednesday April 26.
In her letter, Mrs Conway described the report as disappointing, given that the school was rated 'good' by Ofsted in 2012.
How will Berkshire schools fare in the funding cuts? Search yours to find out
She said: "Inevitably this is a time of great concern and uncertainty for everyone but I assure you that everything possible will be done to safeguard the education and progress of our students."
Ofsted inspectors did praise the teaching of 3D design, dance, physical education and geography where pupils perform consistently better than in other subjects.

They found that most pupils were respectful of each other, the school had robust child protection measures and that recent work to improve the attendance of disadvantaged pupils and those with additional needs was having a positive impact.
All schools judged inadequate by Ofsted must close or be reorganised into a sponsored academy.
Details of the consultation will be published on Friday at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk .

← Past Mecklenburg commissioner running for Congress in new district
Nov 11, 2021 | Press Release
Donate today to support Karen Bentley for Congress
(Huntersville) – Karen Bentley of Huntersville formally announced her candidacy for North Carolina District 13 in the U.S. House of Representatives. District 13 is the result of the recent redistricting and includes the northern suburbs and western edge of Mecklenburg County, Gaston, Cleveland, Polk, Rutherford, McDowell, and Burke counties. Bentley is a well-respected Republican leader with deep experience in representing her constituents having served northern Mecklenburg County for eight years on the Board of County Commissioners.
The US Constitution grants "we the people" individual liberties and freedoms and expressly limits the powers of the Federal government. "Over the past nine months, I have witnessed for the first time in my lifetime a breathtaking attack on our cherished way of life by an Administration bent on controlling all aspects of our lives. Biden's Build Back Better plan is nothing short of a 'take away more' scheme; shifting power and freedom from American citizens and businesses to a centralized bureaucracy destined to shift power from states, citizens, and businesses to the Federal government," notes Bentley.
In a recent Rasmussen poll, 70% of respondents (U.S. likely voters) believe the country is on the wrong track. Because of this and other factors, Karen believes that Republicans have a significant opportunity to regain control of the House in 2022. However, she notes, with opportunity comes the great responsibility to act in a meaningful way to reign in the overreach of the Biden administration and its Democrat allies in the House and Senate. "We should challenge every action coming out of the White House that does not meet Constitutional muster; there is a reason our Founders placed the duties of Congress in Article 1 – giving those representatives that are closest, and most accountable to, the people, the highest authority over the laws of our great nation."
Karen has a three-decade career in healthcare in the for-profit, not-for-profit, and insurance sectors; experiencing first-hand the regulatory impacts of the Federal government and how those regulations can either enhance or limit business operations and quality patient care. Additionally, Karen has served locally, representing 200,000+ constituents in Mecklenburg County on the Board of County Commissioners. During her tenure on the Board, she was responsible for leading the effort to return over $100 million to the pockets of Mecklenburg County taxpayers – both individuals and businesses. Additionally, Karen has a solid record of voting against tax increases, while supporting needed infrastructure improvements to accommodate the impacts of population growth. Karen is pro-family, pro-business, and most importantly, deeply dedicated to the restoration of our Constitutional order, because with that, We the People return to the driver's seat in this great land.

In a medium frying pan, melt one tablespoon of the butter over moderately low heat. Add the bell peppers and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook until soft, about 10 minutes.
Heat the broiler. Butter a large shallow baking dish.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fusilli until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain and return to the hot pot. Toss the pasta with the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and 3/4 teaspoon salt, the sautéed bell peppers, the fontina, mozzarella, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan, and the black pepper.
Transfer the pasta to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan over the top. Broil until the top starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with additional Parmesan.
Cheese often turns stringy when tossed with hot pasta. Broiling the dish after tossing melts the strings into a smooth sauce. An added bonus: that irresistible brown crust.
Creamy cheeses need a light red wine as a foil for their richness. A weighty Chianti Classico or Riserva would be overpowering here, but a basic Chianti, with its slight bitter-cherry flavor, will strike just the right balance.


The heart of the universe beats with love, and the world is full of countless expressions of gratitude and positive energy. Nonetheless, negative energy still lurks around and sometimes, it can be exhausting to deal with. So, if you're feeling bogged down by all this negativity, keep reading to learn how to free and protect yourself from it.
Negative energy vibrates at a low frequency, which is why you literally feel "down" when you experience too much of it. And it doesn't take much to feel this way because negative energy seems to be just about everywhere.
If your parents, family members, friends or coworkers are negative people, you may subconsciously run their energy. Criticism and pessimism flood our society. Headlines, online content and comments, and even shopping experiences can be polluted with negative energy. But there's something you can do about it!
Are you a highly sensitive person or empath?
We're all vulnerable and susceptible to the power of negativity. But if you identify as a highly sensitive person or an empath, negative energy can be downright exhausting. Just as introverts require time to re-energize and recharge after too much stimulation, empaths need to take care of their energetic bodies after they've had too much exposure to negativity.
That's because empaths are like sensitive sponges who both absorb the negative energies that surround them and continue to carry it inside. This can make them feel instantly shaken and shattered.
But whether you're an empath or not, it's really important to protect your energetic body because negativity has the potential to harm everyone.
If you're usually exposed to negative media, now's the time to put a limit on your tv, radio and internet time. Instead, focus on feeding your soul more uplifting and inspiring content.
When it comes to negative or abusive people (especially family members and coworkers), it's usually harder to turn them off the way you would the internet or radio. But that doesn't mean their negativity has to keep wearing you down.
Start by imagining a boundary that separates you from the negative people surrounding you. The only thing that's permitted inside your sphere is positive, kind energy. Everything else? Keep out!
You can even strengthen your boundary by coloring it with beautiful shades of gold and white. White offers protection and keeps dark energy away. Gold, on the other hand, represents positive emotions, abundance, and happiness. When you visualize yourself surrounded by these colors, it can help you feel more secure and safe from outside sources of negativity.
Negative people can bring you down. They can criticize you, your dreams, goals, values, and lifestyle. And there are many powerful ways to fortify yourself against this sort of behavior.
Choose an affirmation, like "I am loved", or "I am worthy", or even "The universe holds a loving space for me." Then, set an alarm on your phone for every 30 minutes or so. Whenever you hear your alarm, you're reminded of your welcomed place in the loving universe and this can help to ground you when you're surrounded by negativity.
Visualize yourself as an ancient oak tree that is firmly rooted and supported by Mother Earth. No matter how stormy, cloudy or bleak the outside environment is, you stand strong.
Remember that some people are addicted to pain and negativity, but you don't have to be. You can simply be aware of and observe their negativity without having to take that on yourself. This is an incredibly freeing and powerful mindset.
Remember that when people express and project negativity, this is an indication of their own inner world and inner self-talk. It is a representation of their energetic state and is never an accurate representation of you, your worth or your place in the world.
Energetic healer and teacher, Carol Tuttle recommends two techniques to cleanse and protect your energy.
You can begin with a spinal flush and it's the most beneficial when someone else helps you. Consider your spinal column and allow the other person to run their hand from the top (where your neck and the top of your shoulders meet) all the way down past your tailbone.
Carol Tuttle suggests thinking about swiping a credit card. As your spinal column is being flushed, take deep breaths. A spinal flush sweeps the governing meridian, which helps to reset your entire meridian system.
Once the negative energy is flushed from your body, it's time to protect and occupy your energetic space. You can do this by visualizing your center meridian, which runs from your pelvic floor all the way up to your bottom lip. Pretend that there's a zipper running the length of your center meridian, and zip it up.
With the spinal flush, you first sweep away negative energy. Then, you zip up your energetic body. It's a lot like zipping your winter coat before bracing the cold, wintry elements. Just as your physical body needs protection, so too, does your energetic body need a little TLC.
As you can see, there are many easy ways to deal with negative energy. And if you want to kick it up a notch, here are two powerful practices that make you less vulnerable to the debilitating effects of negativity.
Meditation has innumerable benefits for your physical, emotional and psychological bodies. And when it comes to negative energy, it's a great tool, too. The regular practice of meditation allows you to observe your surroundings with equanimity.
That is, you can be exposed to negativity without falling prey to knee-jerk reactions or fight-or-flight responses. It also helps you to stay grounded in compassion and empathy, rather than succumbing to the usual feelings of panic, despair or anger.
By intentionally practicing gratitude, you empower yourself to experience positive emotions and feelings. What's more, a grateful mindset allows you to cope with stressful situations. That's no surprise when you remember that gratitude is the highest vibration in our universe. And when you're grateful, it's nearly impossible to feel lower vibrations and negative energy. They simply don't have any place in your loving, grateful mindset.
Negative energy is real and really powerful. But with the right mindset and intentional practices, you can protect and free yourself from the negative energy that surrounds you.
What's a Life Without Beauty!
Lol … that's a good way to look at it, Brigid. 😉 Being able to turn negativity into gratitude, no matter how simple, is quite important.

New Delhi: The Delhi Commission For Women has rescued a three-year-old girl, who was allegedly neglected by her alcoholic father and was found lying in her excreta.
The child was admitted to a hospital where doctors found the child's private parts severely infected due to dirty diapers and poor hygiene, the commission said.
Neighbours alleged the father would give the girl liquor in her milk bottle when she would cry for food.
On receiving a complaint on its 181 helpline, the Delhi Commission for Women rescued a three-year-old girl from a room in Prem Nagar on Friday, officials said.
The caller said the girl had not been fed for three days by her father.

Gift cards have become one of Americans' favorite ways to mark birthdays and holidays. A 2018 Deloitte survey found that gift cards and gift certificates are on 54 percent of U.S. consumers' holiday shopping lists, making them the most popular type of present. But scammers also love gift cards, which provide them with numerous, virtually untraceable ways to steal.
According to the FBI, one common trick is for thieves to go to stores and surreptitiously scratch off the film strip on the backs of gift cards to get the personal identification numbers (PINs), which they cover back up with easy-to-obtain replacement stickers. The card numbers and PINs are entered into a computer program that repeatedly checks the retailer's website. When someone buys and loads a compromised card, the scammer is notified and can spend or transfer the money on the card, or cash it in, before the buyer or gift recipient has a chance to use it.
Fraudsters also lurk on resale or auction websites, ostensibly offering goods at an attractive discount. Once they get you interested in buying, they'll ask you to pay with a gift card. As soon as they get the card number and PIN, they vanish, and so does the money on the card. Requests for payment by gift card are also a regular feature of tech support and impostor scams.
Another ploy is the phony giveaway. You get an email or text message, supposedly from a familiar store or organization (including, on occasion, AARP), saying you've won a gift card. To claim it, you just need to provide contact information, click through to a website or answer a few survey questions, often about your finances or health. Crooks can then install malware on your computer, use your data for identity theft or sell it to marketers, resulting in a barrage of spam emails about loans or miracle cures.
These precautions will help you sidestep gift-card cons.
The packaging on a gift card in a store appears to have been tampered with, or the PIN is exposed.
A person selling an item online wants to be paid via gift cards from a different retailer.
Do delete any unsolicited email or text message offering you a gift card, without responding.
Do get gift cards at stores that keep them behind the counter or close to checkout aisles, where they're harder to tamper with. If you buy a card stocked elsewhere in the store, make sure it's securely sealed in packaging.
Do examine a card carefully for signs of tampering before you buy it.
Do register your card, if the retailer offers that option. That makes it easier to track and quickly report any misuse, according to the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Do buy cards directly from the businesses where they can be used. If you do go through the secondary market, check reviews and only buy from reputable resellers.
Don't buy the top gift card right off the rack. That's where impatient scammers usually put doctored cards, the BBB says.
Don't give personal information to anyone in exchange for a gift card.
If you're selling a gift card through an online resale market, don't provide the buyer with the PIN until the transaction is complete.
Don't give gift-card information to callers claiming to be from government agencies or tech companies. Only scammers ask you to pay fees, back taxes or bills for services with gift cards.
If you encounter a gift-card scam, report it to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.
You can also file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission (online or at 877-382-4357) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (online or at 855-411-2372).

Queen Margot 2: The Bloody Wedding
François Gheysens
Juliette Derenne
Oliver Cadic
Review by Ian Keogh
There's an odd leap from 1570 to 1572 to begin this volume, and those not paying attention will miss the explanation box on the indicia page filling in how events have progressed for Margot since The Age of Innocence. Certificate of chastity notwithstanding, she's been turned down for marriage by the King of Portugal, and now awaits the arrival of the Queen of Navarre, an independent French principality in those days, to discuss an alternative marriage arrangement.
Anyone who hasn't read The Age of Innocence will have difficulty working out who some characters are, never mind the power structure in which they all have a place. Catherine de Médici, the power behind the French throne, seems aware that the tide of Protestantism will sweep aside the established Catholic monarchies if their representatives are not brought into the establishment. To this end her life is an unceasing search for suitable marriages to sustain France's position of power and influence, with Margot not a loved daughter, but a pawn amid these plans. However, Margot is learning the cruel ways of the European courts, and Charles IX in his position as King is less inclined to listen to his mother's wishes.
It amounts to a turbulent brew, and as much has been supplied by Margot's own memoirs, presumed to be historically credible, there's a constant sense of wonder regarding what was socially acceptable, and what a monarch could get away with. Reading what they get up to and attempting to transpose such behaviour to modern day royal families causes the jaw to drop still further.
Juliette Derenne brings the historical settings to life, populating the courts and streets with people, convincing these are the most opulent locations in France, and equally astute with the massacres that Margot's wedding unwittingly launched. As previously, although she tries to differentiate the cast via hair colour, too many of them have a similar look, and unless you pick up on details such as a necklace of sliced-off ears (oh yes!), it's frequently difficult to know who's endangered on any particular page. It's not helped either by co-writers Oliver Cadic and François Gheysens alternately referring to people by their names and titles, nor by a sometimes very literal translation by Luke Spears.
Quibbles notwithstanding, The Bloody Wedding explains a horrific week of Parisian history, and one fundamental to the later accession of Henri IV, considered by historians to be one of France's more enlightened Kings and good for the country. Margot's recollections conclude with Endangered Love.

Willard teen's future on hold after ICE raid
After watching his father's arrest, Jimmy, 17, is now the family's sole provider and has delayed plans to go to college.
Willard teen's future on hold after ICE raid After watching his father's arrest, Jimmy, 17, is now the family's sole provider and has delayed plans to go to college. Check out this story on thenews-messenger.com: https://ohne.ws/2NvhEtx

WILLARD, Ohio - A White Chevy Silverado pulled up, an ICE officer jumped out yelling "get on the ground!" and Jimmy Rodriguez knew it was too late.
He and his father, Eliseo, had worked until 2 a.m. the previous shift at Corso's in Castalia, drove 30 miles home to Willard, then got up hours later and headed back to work.
They talked about World Cup soccer on the way to Corso's, clocking in at 6:43 a.m. on June 5.
Rodriguez, 17, had been on the job only 20 minutes when dozens of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers surrounded him.
"The only thing I could think of was my dad," he said.
Eliseo Rodriguez, 40, is an undocumented worker from Chiapas, Mexico. He and other men were crying and on their knees in the gravel before they were arrested and taken away.
The 114 arrests occurred at Corso's Flower & Garden Centers in Castalia and in Sandusky.
An estimated 200 ICE officers were sent on those raids, with officials pursuing criminal charges including identity theft and tax evasion in addition to immigration charges.

The raids split up families throughout the region and left Jimmy and other children wondering when they will see their parents next.
Jimmy is now the sole provider for his mother, Beatriz, and two younger brothers, Jason, 10, and Jared, 7.
On workdays, wearing long sleeves to prevent sunburn, Rodriguez loads pots of flowers onto carts and then pushes them back into the nursery, grinding away from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and sometimes longer.
Before the raid, Rodriguez worked six days a week, but his and other employees' hours have since been cut, he said, with Saturdays eliminated from their schedules.
"It hurts me," he said, noting his need to pick up the slack with his father's arrest and detention.
Rodriguez misses his father, who sits in a Youngstown detention facility awaiting an immigration hearing to determine whether he stays or is deported to Mexico.
Families split up
Firecrackers occasionally popped off around Willard City Park as Rodriguez sat under a red-roofed picnic shelter on the Fourth of July.
Wearing a white Cincinnati Soccer Academy T-shirt, he pondered his future and wondered about his dad's fate.
Rodriguez isn't alone.
Hundreds of children in Huron, Sandusky, Erie and surrounding counties have been separated from their parents after the Corso's raid.
Natalia Alonso, 15, knows what Rodriguez and the others are going through.
"The sad part is the children, they were expecting their parents to come home. And they didn't come home," Alonso said.

The 15-year-old Fremont Ross High School student tearfully recounted when she was younger and her father was deported, before he became a U.S. citizen, and how it devastated her and her family.
She created "Los Ninos de Corsos," a grassroots campaign to help children of workers arrested in June's mass immigration raid.
Alonso and her mother, Monica, visited with Rodriguez at Willard City Park on the Fourth of July, a day off for the Corso's workers.
Jimmy Rodriguez started the seasonal job at Corso's in April and worked every Saturday until he graduated from Willard High School.
Summer came and Rodriguez moved to full-time, earning $10.50 an hour as he plugged away outside most of the day with no shade.
Part of his job involves filling semi trucks with cartons of flowers. Before the raid, workers would fill 35 semis a day, Rodriguez said.
"Now, we're only doing 10 a day," he said.
He said he's hurt both of his wrists and elbows during his 15-hour workdays.
His father had worked at Corso's at least eight years before the raid, he said.
Day of the raid
When Rodriguez and his dad arrived at Corso's on June 5, it seemed like a normal day.
He didn't notice anything unusual, other than a van by the trailer where he and other employees would eat meals.
Rodriguez and his father were just talking with the guys, he said.
"And then one of them says, 'We've got to get out.' I didn't know what was happening," Rodriguez said.
Everyone ran out of the trailer, toward the front of the facility.
The white Chevy Silverado Chevy pulled up. Officers emerged from wooded areas around the site. There was nowhere to run.
Rodriguez said an armed ICE officer got out of the car and started yelling at the workers to get on the ground.

The day had come that his father had warned him about.
From the time he was little, Rodriguez said his dad told him, "One day, immigration might come and take me, or your mom, or both of us. And you have to be ready for whatever happens."
ICE officers lined the Corso's workers up on the sidewalk and asked them, one by one, "Legal or illegal?"
"When they came up to me I said, 'legal.' I said, 'I'm a DACA recipient.' And they laughed at me. They said, okay, you're a DACA recipient. We'll see about that," Rodriguez said.
Corso's Flower and Garden Center issued a lengthy statement about the ICE raid and expressed regret over the stress and pain the sting had on its employees and their families.
The company stated it was troubled by reports of alleged poor treatment of its employees during the arrest process, as well as a lack of information from federal authorities to family members of those arrested.
Corso's denied it knowingly employed anyone with false identification documents and also denied charges of tax evasion.
As ICE officials questioned the employees, Rodriguez said he saw grown men cry, including his father.
He asked officers to let his dad sit in a chair and to give him a few minutes with his father before he was taken away.

"The last few words that he said was, 'Stay calm and keep working,'" Rodriguez said.
Workers with proper documentation like Rodriguez were told they had to leave the Castalia site, but could come back to work at noon if they chose.
"We came back at noon. It was quiet. A ghost town. No laughing. No talking. No music. Nothing," he said.
He came back an hour later to Corso's trailer for lunch, closed the door and cried.
Although Rodriguez's younger brothers didn't see what happened in Castalia, he said it affected them a lot.
"Having your father taken away from you is something that should never be done. I was traumatized."
Jimmy Rodriguez, 17
"Having your father taken away from you is something that should never be done. I was traumatized," he said.
Initially, Eliseo Rodriguez was taken to Michigan for a couple of days.
Rodriguez finally saw his father that week on the following Saturday, after his dad had been transferred to a Youngstown detention facility.
He brought his youngest brother with him to Youngstown to visit their father, but could only look at him through a glass window as they spoke by phone.
"I couldn't go hug him. I couldn't be with him," Rodriguez said, "I picked up the phone and my dad cried. He cried for a good few minutes."
Jimmy's future
Rodriguez's brothers were born in the United States and are U.S. citizens.
Jimmy was a baby when his parents came to the U.S. from Mexico.
A Dreamer, Rodriguez's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) permit expired in October, but after several delays, he successfully renewed his permit in February.
The nonprofit Interfaith Worker Justice labor advocacy group estimates that more than 4,400 DACA recipients live and work in Ohio.
Eliseo Rodriguez finished high school in Mexico, while his wife completed ninth grade.
Monica Alonso, standing near Rodriguez in the Willard park, wore a bright red T-shirt that read, "Gutierrez, 1978-2018, 40 years."

It's been 40 years since her family came across the Mexican-American border en masse.
"Everybody came undocumented, 17 people in the station wagon. And they came here to get the dream." Alonso said.
She said it leaves her without words to see families like Jimmy's suffering and with no money.
For Monica, immigration laws are constantly changing and shifting with expensive paperwork and no guarantees.
The standards for immigrants coming across the United States' southern border are different than those for people seeking residence from other parts of the world, she said.
"It's not as easy as people think. I hate the term 'the right way,'" she said, referring to what people say about the immigration process. "There's no right way. Especially when you put up so many hurdles."
Rodriguez bristles when he hears people claim that undocumented immigrants are stealing jobs.
He says he and his co-workers pay taxes and do without Medicaid and affordable health care while trying to make a living and improve their lives.
"Everyone says that we're stealing jobs. Go see what we do. Go work in the fields. Go work in the nursery. It's not an easy job," he said.
His parents always wanted him to go to college, Rodriguez said. They came here to give him a better education.
Before the raid, Rodriguez planned to go to North Central State College in Mansfield for two years, then transfer to a four-year school.
His uncle is an electrical engineer, but Rodriguez's preference is mechanical engineering.
Some day, he'd like to program machines or robots.
He gushed about the TV show "Mythbusters" as he sat on a picnic bench at the park.
Rodriguez was saving up money from his summer job at Corso's to attend North Central State.
"But I had to set that aside," Rodriguez said.

Is It Time To Stop Supporting Makeup Brands That Don't Support Us?
I'm sure that when makeup makeup artist Manny Gutierrez uploaded a pic of his Marc Jacobs Beauty care package, personally sent to him, to his Instagram, that it would've caused so much controversy. But the unexpected outrage was not without substance.
The photo above of all twenty-two bottles of Jacobs' (acclaimed) Remarcable Full Cover Foundation impressively shows the range of nuances between beige and ivory skin tones. But shockingly, the collection concludes with just three shades representing the(in actuality) multitude of different undertones found in the brown skin family. It's not a secret that makeup brands from the drugstore to department store, minus a small percentage of distinguished labels, are still playing catch-up when it comes to appropriately addressing various skin tones in their makeup. Yet, possibly seeing shades such as these in a smaller setting like a photograph made the quieted negligence an even more hurtful reminder that makeup companies have often chosen to forgotten their customers of color (with brown skin).
In the comments section, an argument arose about the large discrepancy of the many shades for White skin over Black skin. Some attempted to defend the pic in saying that the camera and the frosty bottle clashed, making some shades in the last row appear lighter than they are (see second photo above as an example). But even if that were to be true, there is bigger picture here that with or without flash, only three shades appear exceptionally brown to the naked eye. In 2015 going into 2016, why are we still searching for a true russet brown shade on the average makeup shelf?
It's been discussed before and change has happened for makeup companies to reflect the huge spectrum of skin tones out there. Brands like BECCA, Make Up Forever, Kat Von D and NARS have done a great job in offering an expansive line of face makep. And M.A.C., despite their ups and downs in customer service and attitude, have never failed their Black and brown consumers. (Many makeup wearers and artists refer to the M.A.C's color code of NW and NC as the guide for correct color foundation estimation). Still, the effort for of color customers to see their skin tone in bottles is challenged when brands like Revlon, Maybelline, Tarte, and YSL claim to have brown hues under names like "Cocoa" and "Caramel" when in reality, the shades are either ashy or red as hell, or "Caramel" actually resembles "Tan Ivory." Do makeup companies really have no idea what beautifully chocolatey skin looks like? Or an in-between brown, like Walnut? (And most Sephoras aren't even carrying the full line of Too Faced's Born This Way Foundation. Shades "Maple", "Chestnut", and "Mahogany" have to be bought online). Then there's L'Oreal's Infalliable Pro Matte Foundation's. Yes, the coverage is great…but two shades for WOC as paler complexions get almost nine options? Not even the computer can tell Shell Beige and Natural Buff apart. It's insulting.
As a woman of color myself who loves makeup, I am annoyed and sometimes honestly hurt when I see one shade of brown. I often barely make the cut. I'm a pretty in-between medium brown, so I've been in limbo plenty of times over foundation shades from mainstream brands. Makeup brands also have a tendency to do a either a light brown and then just jump to an ebony, as Lancome did with their newest sponge-like product, the Miracle Cushion compact. And believe me you, seeing Lupita Nyong'o in the ads made me want to get one but I couldn't find my hue.
In order for companies to make profit and maintain a loyal fanbase, they do maintain notes on what type or group of customers purchase their products the most. For some makeup brands, like say FLOWER by Drew Barrymore, they literally just have one shade as the de-facto "brown" because research has shown that "most" Black girls aren't checking for FLOWER Beauty. But does that still make it okay to have just one shade in hopes that the one Black or Indian girl that does want to wear FLOWER that LF14 will work for her? I luv Drew, but I can't wear her face makeup. I bought the BB cream in the darkest shade, "BB4", and it's just a little too light for me.
And brown foundations do sell! Do you know how many times I've seen the Bobbi Brown Stick Foundations in shades "Warm Walnut" to "Espresso"completely sold out in stores?!
Gutierrez has yet to say or write anything in response to the concerns of his Marc Jacobs gift. Maybe, or I guess, he won't be using the brown shades anytime soon and that in itself is another topic of discussion.
