OSPF Link-State Database
OSPF maintains a database with only the most recent and up to date link-state information or records with the use of MaxAge and LSRefreshTime timers, and LS sequence numbers.
The length of the LS Sequence Number field in an LSA header or an LSA is 32 bits. Beginning with the leftmost bit set, the first number is 0x80000001 and the last number is 0x7FFFFFFF. The sequence number is used to detect old or redundant LSA records. The larger the number, the more recent the LSA. An OSPF router would generate a new LSA upon a link-state change. One can notice which parts of the network are changing the most by looking at the LSDB – the parts that are described by LSAs whose have large LS sequence numbers and small LS ages.
An OSPF router refreshes its self-originated LSAs that it is responsible for every 30 minutes (the LSRefreshTime interval) to ensure all routers have an accurate link-state database, just in case an LSA has been lost from or corrupted in one of the databases of other routers. Every time a LSA record is flooded or refreshed, its sequence number is incremented by 1, and its aging timer is reset. An LSA will never remain in the database for more than 1 hour (MaxAge) without being refreshed; it is considered invalid (eg: the originating router has failed) and will be removed from the LSDB. This LSA validation method conserves more bandwidth than DV routing protocols, which send entire routing tables at short periodical intervals.
Since an invalid LSA may take as long as 1 hour for it to be removed from LSDBs and the LSA would certainly contain out-of-date (stale) information, OSPF requires the routers at both ends of a point-to-point link advertise the link before considering it during the route computation process.
It is theoretically possible for an LSA to exist in the database for very long periods of time, refreshed every 30 minutes, until a point where the sequence number rolls over to the beginning. When this occurs, the existing LSA must first be deleted by prematurely aged out (MaxAge is set to 1 hour) to allow other routers to accept the new LSA with sequence number of 0x80000001.
Note: A router is only allowed to update its self-originated LSAs at most once every 5 seconds. In the absence of errors, the 32-bit sequence number will require 680 years to roll over!
The OSPF premature aging process allows the deletion of an LSA from a routing domain by setting its LS Age to MaxAge and floods its without waiting for its aging timer to reach MaxAge, as sometimes a router may want to delete an LSA instead of updating its contents. In order to avoid possible thrashing in which a router originates an LSA while another router deletes it, a router is allowed to prematurely age (delete) only its self-originated LSAs.
The LS Age field of an LSA is also examined for other OSPF functions as below:
MinLSArrival 1 second Minimum rate at which a router will accept an LSA update.
MinLSInterval 5 seconds Minimum rate (rate limit) at which a router can update an LSA.
CheckAge 5 minutes The rate at which a router verifies the checksum of an LSA contained in its LSDB.
MaxAgeDiff 15 minutes 2 LSA instances are considered separate when they differ by more than 15 minutes. The LSA with the smaller LS Age is considered more recent and accepted.
LSRefreshTime 30 minutes The rate at which a router must refresh its self-originated LSAs.
MaxAge 1 hour The maximum age that an LSA is considered valid and being retained in the LSDB.
An OSPF router can easily identify its self-originated LSAs as the Advertising Router field in those LSAs is set to its own Router ID. An OSPF router is allowed to update and delete only its self-originated LSAs that it is responsible for. Knowing which router has originated a particular LSA allows a calculating router to decide whether the LSA should be used in route computation, and how it should be used.

Postpartum Depression May Last for Years

Many women develop depression after giving birth. This is called postpartum depression. A new study found that a large number of women had high levels of depressive symptoms at some point in the three years after giving birth.
Researchers asked more than 4,500 women about their symptoms of depression four months and one, two, and three years after birth. These symptoms included anxiety, sadness, difficulty sleeping, and self-blame.
The women fell into four groups. Most had few to no symptoms over the three years. A second group had few to no symptoms four months after giving birth, but these grew worse over time. This was seen in 8% of participants.
Another 13% had moderate symptoms that decreased over time. About 5% of women experienced high levels of depressive symptoms that stayed high for three years.
Women who had a previously diagnosed mood disorder were the most likely to have long-lasting, more severe symptoms. Women who developed diabetes during pregnancy were also at greater risk.
Currently, doctors screen mothers for postpartum depression up to six months after birth. Screening for a longer time may help doctors identify more women who are struggling with the condition.
"Our study indicates that six months may not be long enough to gauge depressive symptoms," says NIH scientist Dr. Diane Putnick, who led the study. "These long-term data are key to improving our understanding of mom's mental health."

THE JONES, ST ALBANS
David Jones 1838-1932, was one of six children born in Borth to a Welsh-speaking family. His father also David Jones, was a mariner, and his mother Jane Rees came from Wallog. Jane was the daughter of a fisherman who lived in one of the two cottages which would be later demolished to make way for today's Wallog House. Young David was much abused at school over his failure to speak English, and with great relief left at an early age.
JANE REES b. 1799, circa 1860
At nine years of age, his parents had secured a job for him as a cabin boy on a ship voyaging out of Caernarvon. At this tender age, David made the long walk from Borth to Caernarvon, involving two ferries across the Dyfi and the Mawddach, and an overnight stop in Porthmadog, all presumably arranged in advance. This is an overall journey of approximately 50-60 miles, depending on the route taken. He would have kept mainly to the coastline before walking over the hills from Portmadog to Caernarvon on the second day, for which an early start was essential if he were to reach his destination by nightfall. Today his parents would probably be prosecuted for cruelty and neglect, for having let one so young journey on his own. Obviously in those days it was commonplace and acceptable.
The ship he joined had a surly, miserable crew and barely edible food. He hated it so much that when the vessel returned to Caernarvon he hid until it set sail again rather than go back on it. The ship subsequently sank with all hands in a storm off Bardsey Island, but some months later the local newspaper reported that David Jones' trunk had been washed up on the beach; it was recognised by the inscription in the Welsh Bible discovered inside it.
By then he had found a much better ship, and his seafaring days began in earnest. In 1861, he was on the local schoonerJane Owens as an able seaman. He was certified mate in October 1865, and sailed in that capacity, on the brigantine Xanthus, to Spanish and Italian ports; this vessel was later lost on the Goodwin Sands. He became captain in 1868, and from then until 1870, commanded the City of St. Asaph, voyaging to Australia and South America. He then captained the Elizabeth for a number of years, which had been a Russian "prize ship", brought back as booty from the Crimea. This ship was probably re-named after his elder sister, grandmother or mother-in-law, who all bore the name Elizabeth. This vessel was a regular on the lucrative run from Mostyn to Corunna with a cargo of slate, returning with iron ore. Some Welsh ships coming into port from a long voyage would have a ship's song, to be sung very loudly by the crew, so that those waiting to greet them would identify the vessel. The Elizabeth's was a popular tune they had picked up in Spain, known today as the hymn "Madrid", or the "Spanish Hymn". In 1875 he was captain of the Tamaulipas, which was his last command prior to his career long commitment to the steam yacht Ceres.
David Jones married a local girl, Margaret Williams in 1863 when she was 24. Her father was Captain William Williams 1811-57, who was a master mariner and commanded the schooners Jane & Mary in 1855, and the Hypsipyle in 1857. The latter was lost at sea with all the crew in November 1857. Captain Williams' antecedents were all mariners. Margaret's mother was Elizabeth Simon, whose brother, Captain John Simon the elder 1807-81, owned and ran the sloop Robust, built at Aberarth in 1832, which was eventually lost in 1855. He had commanded the schooner Adelaide in 1861, and amongst the all-Borth crew was his son Simon as ordinary seaman. Later, he reverted to mate on the Adelaide at sixty-four years of age, when it was under the command of John Hughes. Apparently, he had been deaf for the previous twenty or so years. His son, John Simon 1843-1917, became master mariner in 1870, and commanded the Cuerero, Ellen Catherine, Sultannina and the Sulliana Reina. His last command was the 79-ton Caernarfon registered schooner Ellen Roberts. Interestingly, whilst he was captain of the Sultannina, the fifteen year old cook on board in 1880 was fellow villager Thomas Hughes Dutton, who went on to become a master mariner.
CAPT. DAVID JONES, "ST ALBANS"
Margaret's four brothers John, Thomas, Henry and Richard were all mariners. John Williams 1841-79, captained the Clara and the Agenoria. He died in 1879 and his wife, another Margaret, received £60 from his estate. They had lived in Aberystwyth, but after John's death she moved back to Borth to Providence Villa. Margaret died a few years later, and by 1891, their children were living either with David and Margaret Jones at St. Clare, or in the Friendship Inn as Margaret was the sister of David Hughes, the landlord, known locally as Dafydd y Friendship.
DAFYDD Y FRIENDSHIP
Thomas Williams 1844-73 was mate on the barquentine Fairy. Henry Williams b.1846, began his career on the 67-ton Borth schooner Resolute, commanded by John James b.1819, and later became captain of the Elizabeth. Richard Williams b.1849, was mate on the same vessel, which was owned for a decade by their brother-in-law, Captain David Jones. Richard and Henry lived with their families in Mostyn, North Wales where Richard built a house called Borth Villa. With this type of pedigree, which includes a prior generation of mariners including a John Williams and another John Simon, born in the 1700's, it is no wonder that the sea had seeped into this extended families' D.N.A. Another possible Williams descendant was second mate William John Williams b.1890, who served on the War Isis, Siward, Denpark and the Norah Elsmie.
Captain Jones had prior connections with Cowes as for a short time he served as mate on the steam yacht Rose. There is a letter from him to his wife Margaret mentioning this fact that was discovered recently in St Clare by Diana Logan. The Ceres was a regular fixture in Cowes Week, and became a focal point for visiting royalty. Famous royal names who came on board at one time or another include Queen Victoria, the King and Duke of Montenegro, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), Prince Leopold, the Duke of Orleans, the Kaiser, the Duke of Connaught, the Marquis of Shetlands, the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Lansdowne and many others. On the commoners' side, there were also Gladstone, Thomas Edison and Guglielmo Marconi. In 1881, Captain David Jones took his wife with him on a voyage to the Mediterranean.
In 1875, John Lancaster introduced Captain David Jones to the Duke of St Albans, and the rest, as they say, is history. From then until the Duke's death in 1898 Captain Jones commanded the 88-ton steam yacht Ceres on its numerous voyages, often to the Scottish Lochs, the Orkneys, Norway, the Holy Land and other parts of the Mediterranean. These voyages usually followed Cowes Week and lasted two months at a time.
Captain Jones used to make copious quantities of cold tea to drink in the hot Mediterranean climate. The Duke used to drink this as well, and both men were amused to find how much better they coped with the climate than those partaking of alcoholic beverages. There were gifts, too. A diamond tie-pin from Prince Leopold, a gold watch from the Duke of Orleans, a silver teapot inscribed "To Captain D. Jones from Alfred Farquar", numerous gifts from the Prince of Wales and a watch from the Count de Morny. It was a full hunter made of gold with the crossed flags of the Royal Yacht Squadron and France in enamel inside the rear case, and also inscribed "To Capt D Jones from Count de Morny". The Count was close to Napoleon III, who was himself an R.Y.S member from 1858 to 1872.
In the course of his travels, he took coffee with Arab Sheiks and Bedouins, and once witnessed an assassination on the streets of Barcelona. With Earl Cawdor aboard they were caught in a storm on Mount Carmel, and sought refuge in the Monastery where they amused the monks by staging a football match between the crew and the engineers and stewards to pass the time. Perhaps one of the most frightening moments was when Captain Jones was standing at the mouth of Mt. Vesuvius, overlooking Naples, and was suddenly enveloped in smoke, sulphur and steam. He was unable to see a foot in front of his face for several minutes. With him at the time were Sir John Beeley, and his 16-year-old son, later to become Sir John Beeley, Lord Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight.
Oddly, Captain Jones was never officially a contracted employee - he and the Duke shook hands and that was enough, ensuring he and his family was well provided for. In 1880, the captain's family lived at St Clare House, together with his older sister Elizabeth who was a domestic servant, and her dressmaker daughter Jane. Captain David Jones then built three houses in his home village appropriately 1, 2 and 3 St Albans -, which stand today. David and Margaret Jones lived at No. 1, with daughter Moyra and sister Elizabeth. The captain's son Thomas, and his wife Amey lived at No. 2 with children David Elwyn, John Leslie and Amey Aerona. David's daughter Jane, and her husband Thomas Evan Williams, lived at No. 3, with son David Edwin. St Albans No 3 was passed on to their granddaughter Peggy. Peggy was married to Will Owen, for many years the Station master at Borth.
Interesting stories are connected with Edison and Marconi. Early cylinder recordings of the ship's crew singing, including comments from Captain Jones, the Duke and the then Prince of Wales, were kept for many years and were well remembered by the family. Edison visited Europe in 1889 for the Paris Expo and it may be assumed the recordings were made at that time. They were recorded on two brown wax cylinders; different from the commercially produced shiny black ones they shared the box with. In his later years, Captain Jones used to wipe them carefully with a silk handkerchief before putting them back.
Captain Jones had the reputation of being firm, but fair, and was greatly respected by the crew. The original crew was from North Wales and Merseyside, but by the 1890's they nearly all came from the South Coast of England. Captain Jones used to recall with affection a certain Billy Butt, who was first mate for a while. His sister was Clara Butt the singer. The Butt family hailed from Southwick, near Brighton, Mr. Butt senior was a sometime sea captain himself.
After the Duke's death in 1898, Captain Jones was authorised to remove and retain anything he wished from the Ceres, and the ship's contents were duly distributed among the members of his family. The forty year old vessel is believed to have been broken up shortly afterwards. It is unclear whether Captain Jones may have taken the opportunity to retire at sixty, or continued to worked on his own behalf for a while longer. His wife Margaret died in 1906, and in the 1920s he moved in with his youngest daughter, Moyra, in Newtown, where she lived with her Methodist Minister husband David Egwys Jones and the first seven of their eventual eight children. By all accounts Captain Jones lived a happy life until he died in 1932 at the age of 95. He made a famous journey from Newtown to Borth by bicycle when he was 85. This is a journey of over 43 miles, which even today takes an hour and a quarter by car.
David Rowlands of Canberra Australia, a descendant of two Borth maritime families, explained the unusual Welsh christian name, Egwys, that appeared in the previous paragraph was chosen to differentiate the Reverands name from the innumerable David Jones' in Wales. David's grandfather, Edward Whittington 1821-91, was born in Penegoes near Machynlleth but moved in old age to Pwll Hobi Lllanbadarn. The name Egwys is linked to Penegoes which was once rendered Pen-Egwys in memory of an ancient local warrior Egwys, whose head is buried in the area. David's brother, another minister of religion took the Bardic name Egwysin.
His eldest son, Captain William D. Jones, 1865-1912, died at sea and was buried in Malta. He was second mate in 1886, first mate in 1887 and captain in 1890. He commanded the Loango, Monrovia, Ethiopian, Montpellier, Yola, Montfort, Mount Royal, Montreal, Lake Simcoe, Montezuma, Lake Michigan, Radiance, Date Grove, Cassia, Ainmere and Canadian Transport. He lived at Montfort, named after one of his ships. It was on this vessel that he took cargoes of ammunition to South Africa at the beginning of the Boer War. For his services Captain W. D. Jones received a cannon ornament made from one of the first shells fired in the conflict. In a twenty-two year career he safely captained sixteen ships. One wonders how many more he would have commanded if he had not died at forty-seven years of age. His wife Elizabeth is buried at Pen-Y-Garn where there is also a memorial to William.
CAPT. WILLIAM. D. JONES.
Thomas Jones 1870-1957, was the second son of David and Margaret Jones of St. Clare. Seafaring was in his blood with his father, both grandfathers and several uncles all being mariners. At the age of fifteen, he went to sea on a sailing ship, the Ocean Belle, at a wage of fifteen shillings a week. By this time he had met his future wife, Amey-Jane Lewis. Amey's grandparents were Hugh Jones 1805-43 and Jane Thomas 1810-49, who were born in Borth and lived at Tre-ddol. Hugh had captained the sloops Sincerity in 1826 and the Victory in 1829. His brother Richard b.1791, captained the smack Picton, the sloops Brittania and Mary Ann and in 1840, the schooner Brittania.
One of Hugh and Jane's daughters Elizabeth b.1842, had married a John Lewis and emigrated to America in 1874, when Amey, their daughter, was two years of age. However, Amey was sent back back to Borth to attend school by 1882, after her mother's death and her father re-marrying. Amey was bought up by her mother's sister Susannah 1839-1916, who was married to John Williams b.1838. They lived at Epworth House. John was mate on the Ocean Belle, Ceres and Bernina.
JOHN WILLIAMS, EPWORTH HOUSE
Amey was two years younger than Thomas, and was a friend of his younger sister Jane. After their first meeting, they began a lifelong romance, which initially was kept hidden from friends and family. In January 1887, Thomas set off on a long voyage on the barque Snowdon to Australia, and Amey started to write a "secret diary" to record all her thoughts and feelings whilst he was away. Every day he was away was marked off on a tally sheet she had prepared. Amey wrote how she checked the Gazette for his sailing times from Liverpool, which was Saturday January 15th. She was constantly worried about whether he would start to smoke and drink, or worse still, meet someone else…none of which happened. Amey described how lonely she was without him and how frustrating it was to be unable to tell anyone.
CAPT. THOMAS AND AMEY JONES
The following extracts from that diary show how strongly and passionately fifteen year old Amey felt about Thomas
… " Auntie asked me what made under my eyes so dark. I did not answer her truthfully for I said I do not know. The truth was hiraeth mawr (great longing) after Thomas. I felt low-spirited and mournful all day and tonight in chapel I had to come out for my head ached terribly and I felt all alone and strange. For ever since I left America to come here to live amongst strangers he won my heart sooner than Auntie and Uncle did, and now he has gone, all has gone with him"…"He is always in my mind; I feel as if something is wanted and when I grow weary of waiting and lonely without him I go upstairs and read his letters. Especially the one in which he promises to be a brother to me and says "that if God wills that he shall come safely home I can say that my brother is coming home. For a brother never loved a sister more that I love you; it cannot possibly be". I have often wondered at Thomas being able to love me, a poor nobody, more than his mother and sisters…but he has told me so in his letters and in my hearing. I can but believe it and be happy. Dear Thomas he is the best friend I have-he is more than a friend for he said on Xmas eve when he locked his arms around me. "there is something more than brother and sister in this" and I felt exactly the same".
Where the name Thomas has been included for clarity in the diary extracts, Amey left blank, in case the diaries and her passion were discovered. The diary petered out in February 1887, probably due to the pressure of exams coming up, which she eventually passed to became a music teacher.
Amey's uncle and aunt had moved to Barry in Glamorgan, and so it was there that she and Thomas married two days before Christmas in 1896. Although Thomas and Amey's first children were born near Liverpool, the family moved back to Borth in 1901 to St Alban's Villas, built by Thomas' father. As previously stated, different members of the Jones families lived in the three houses. Thomas and Amey moved many times during his maritime career, living in Wales and the border counties, but after retirement, he moved to Rhyl, and when Amey died in 1943, he moved to live with his son at Connahs Quay where he died in 1957.
PAGE FROM AMEY'S DIARY
Thomas had a long and varied career starting in sailing ships and then gravitating to luxury passenger liners. He first ran away to sea on the Borth owned Ocean Belle, and then joined the Snowdon, another sailing vessel associated with the village, and voyaged on her to Australia and round Cape Horn to Valparaiso. Thomas then sailed on the barque British Army, which fought its way for three weeks to round Cape Horn and from there, took a hundred days to arrive at Portland, Oregon.
He was on the barquentine Bootle, carrying copper from Africa to Swansea, then on the S.S. Alexander Elder, voyaging to Baltimore, America. He gained his second mates certificate from Liverpool in 1890, and voyaged to the Persian Gulf in that capacity in 1891 on the S.S.Glantivy. This vessel bought back a cargo of 5,000 tons of dates. He was first mate by 1892 and gained his masters certificate in 1894 at twenty-four years of age. He then waited for five months to get a good post.
In 1895, he joined the Dominion Line and was an officer on the S.S. Labrador, and then on the S.S. Canada on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic to Montreal. Little did he know that he would later command her. He was First Officer on the S.S. Dominion and by 1900 he was captain of S.S. Roman, a cattle and freight steamer. He was one of the youngest captains crossing the North Atlantic at this time. After commanding the S.S. Cambroman and S.S. Englishman, he then became captain of the S.S. Turcoman, for fifteen years from 1903 to 1918. From that time, he became captain of the S.S. Haverford, a White Star Line ship. He was now in the luxury liner business transporting people rather than freight. He later commanded the S.S. Pittsburgh, S.S. Canada, S.S. Megantic, S.S. Cambroman, S.S. Doric and S.S. Regina. When the Pittsburgh crossed the Atlantic on her maiden voyage in 1922 she was the first liner to be fitted throughout with electricity.
During the First World War, the Turcoman was refitted and used to transport troops and horses as well as supplies. Captain Thomas worked out that in the two years from 1915 to 1917 he had traveled 112,323 miles, and transported 6,694 horses and 2,866 mules. He remarked that the mules were much better sailors than horses. With the Turcoman, he transported some of the 7th Division to Zeebruge in 1914 when the siege of Antwerp took place. He crossed the Atlantic many times during the conflict and in 1918 was quoted in the American newspaper, The Philadelphian, "…I have been dodging subs since 1914 and I mean to keep on dodging them until the Kaiser gets tired and quits". Apparently he had several encounters and close misses with German submarines and possibly sank one by ramming it.
Captain Thomas Jones took part in three rescues for which he received various honours. The first was in 1908, as captain of the Turcoman, when he rescued 35 French fishermen from the Bearn et Bretagne, which had lost its masts. For this he received a pair of fine binoculars from the French government and the Liverpool Humane Society's Silver Medal. His second rescue was as captain of the Haverford in 1918, when he picked up the emaciated crew of the Norwegian ship the Augvald, who had been adrift for eleven days in an open boat after a submarine attack, with no food and little water. For this he was rewarded with an exquisitely crafted silver trophy from the Norwegian Government.
His third rescue was in 1922 as captain of the Pittsburgh, when he saved 45 crewmembers of the Italian ship Monte Grappa, whose cargo had shifted dangerously during a violent storm. For this the Italian government wanted to award him The Order of the Knight Grand Cross of the Italian Crown. However, the British Foreign Office would not allow it as it had a rule against foreign decorations being bestowed on British subjects. He did however receive a silver medal from the Liverpool Humane Society, the Life Saving Benevolent Association of New York's Gold Medal, and a Diploma from the Italian Crown.
The rescue of the crew of the stricken vessel Monte Grappa was testament to his exceptional navigational expertise and seamanship. The captain had to steam 260 miles on a course that he estimated would intercept the Italian ship at a point roughly 100 miles from her original position when she sent out the S.O.S. The Monte Grappa was being pushed by a severe storm at the rate of 8 knots, but as she traveled and wallowed deeper in the seas, she was reduced to a speed of 3 knots. All this Captain Jones had taken into account; as well as the time that the two ships would meet. They sighted each other within the hour predicted, and the Monte Grappa's rockets were sighted off the starboard bow, as expected.
CAPT. THOMAS JONES ON THE PITTSBURGH
The Italian vessel with Captain Bartoli in command, had been bound from Montreal to Venice, with a cargo of grain. The ship was caught in a huge southerly gale, and was fighting enormous cross seas when the 9,000 tons of grain moved dramatically as the shifting boards gave way. There was a huge list to port, which gradually became worse, despite flooding the starboard ballast tanks in an attempt to even her up. The port lifeboats were washed away and the starboard ones could not be launched as they now hung over the decks. When the ship rolled in the heavy seas, her port light disappeared.
Two boats were launched from the Pittsburg into rough seas on a dark night. The passengers viewing the drama expected the Monte Grappa to completely roll over at any minute. The boats returned with 42 of the crew, and one returned again for the captain, mate and chief engineer, who had tried desperately to save their ship. The only difficulty encountered in this incredible rescue was getting a 360-pound Italian man onto the Pittsburg.
A description of Captain Thomas Jones is provided by an American newspaper "…the captain is becoming so well known to Philadelphia, that we begin to claim him as our own….passengers which are carried by him claim that he is one of the most efficient and trustworthy men who have guided them across the blue seas". The captain retired from the sea in 1927, but at the age of 82, was cruising on the Cheshire Canals with his grandson in his cabin cruiser Amey, named after his beloved wife. He died in 1957 and is buried at Keswick, alongside Amey who predeceased him in 1943.
The Williams, Simon and two Jones families were involved with shipping since the 1700's, and had graduated from local sloops to schooners, then on to larger sailing vessels and eventually to steam ships and great ocean liners.

Endless War is on the Drawing Board: Hillary Clinton Throws Women « Under Bus » for Corporate Cronies

Analyses: AFGHANISTAN
Hillary wants us to ignore the dream of MLK and judge her not by the content of her character, but by her gender. These are some of the reasons why:
In the 1990s, with Hillary Clinton as First Lady and "partner in power" of Bill Clinton, the US supported the efforts of oil company Unocal to cooperate with the Taliban to build a natural gas pipeline through Afghanistan. Meetings were being held for that purpose up to September 11, 2001. There was also a telephone company interested in Afghanistan.
Unocal's pipeline project would have brought natural gas from Turkmenistan to Pakistan by crossing through Afghanistan.
Unocal CEO John Imle estimated that the company spent between $15 and $20 million on its Central Asia gas pipeline (CentGas) project, including on efforts to lobby the Taliban.
Unocal also equipped the Taliban with advanced technologies, such as satellite phones.
"…Unocal –– had very close relations with the Taliban. They took their leaders on junkets to their home bases, they gave them substantial help in the form of office equipment, and they gave medical treatment to many of their leaders. Unocal set up a training school for the Taliban in Kandahar."
"[W]hen a Clinton official was reminded that the Taliban persecuted women, he said, "We can live with that."
A "strong campaign [was] waged by rights activists in America, particularly the Feminist Majority led by Eleanor Smeal and Mavis Leno, which lobbied Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright very fiercely to stop the Unocal project and come out against the Taliban's repression of women. [But] the Clinton administration viewed the Taliban's rise favorably… [because, in addition to other strategic reasons] the U.S. wanted to build this pipeline. There was a lot of support from the Pentagon and the State Department for the Unocal effort."
The result of the campaign? Silence from Hillary Clinton as her oligarch cronies courted, supported, and coordinated with the Taliban.
Mysteriously,
"…as it became clearer that Taliban policy-makers were beginning to lean toward Bridas [a non-US oil company] by late 1997, the Clinton administration responded by suddenly paying heed to human rights/women's rights groups who had been protesting Taliban conduct for the past two years."
This is, as Professor Deepa Kumar illustrates, "colonial feminism": pretending to care about women's rights, human rights, etc., when it serves the purposes of imperio-terrorism.
"In November 1997, after years of relative quiet, Clinton's Secretary of State Madeleine Albright publicly condemned the Taliban's treatment of women… [but] it was only when absolute [US] control of that oil was challenged that the Taliban regime was openly discredited…" (ibid.)
"[In] August 1998, … the US embassy bombings in East Africa (attributed to Usama bin Laden) prompted [Bill] Clinton to… call for the Taliban to expel Bin Laden. Interestingly, the latter's presence in Afghanistan since 1996 had not stalled the courtship of the previous years" (ibid).
The US had also been sanctioning Pakistan, but Bill removed the sanctions to befriend Pakistan so the planned pipeline could run through its territory to the coast. (ibid)
In 2001, Hillary finally criticized one US citizen for "supporting" the Taliban: John Walker Lindh, a former US soldier who was tortured in US custody (see here). Clinton made this statement long before his trial, itself a major ethical violation (also committed, for example, by Obama against Chelsea Manning). Research indicates that this poor soldier is the only person Hillary the elitist has condemned as a "traitor" for association with the Taliban. She not only does not condemn, but goes out of her way to support, US government officials and corporate executives who, on record and openly under her husband's regime, supported and worked with the Taliban, and in fact she made efforts to do so herself.
Afghanistan had been stable in the late 1970s and had featured strong women's rights, until the US, as it did in Nicaragua and many other places, assembled a proxy army to conquer the country. After intentionally contributing towards the deaths of about two million people (a high US official, Brzezinski, said the US wanted to give the USSR, which was backing the stable Afghan government, "its Vietnam") and helping to bring the Taliban to power, including through printing propaganda, and then, when the Taliban was uncooperative, pushing it out of power and killing thousands, the US got an agreement from the newly US-installed Karzai dictatorship to build gas pipelines running from Turkmenistan, through Afghanistan, to Pakistan's coast. More info here.
For this next phase of the pipeline endeavor, Hillary Clinton, now secretary of state, offered her personal guarantee of US government backing to Chevron to increase Chevron's credibility in pursuing the Afghanistan gas pipeline project, while she publicly advocated for a massive increase in the US invasion of Afghanistan. During her tenure, the US increased its presence from 30,000 to 100,000 militants or more, killing thousands in the process.
"…both Chevron and Exxon-Mobil … expressed interest in TAPI [the pipeline from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan]." However, Turkmenistan wanted a firm signal that the US government was committed. That signal came from Hillary Clinton. The president of Turkmenistan received "a letter backing Chevron's project from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."(Wall Street Journal)
After Clinton guaranteed US government backing for Chevron to build the pipeline, Obama sent his own personal letter to the president of Turkmenistan, backing Chevron and "emphasizing a common interest in helping develop Afghanistan and expressing [his] support for TAPI [pipeline] and his desire for a major U.S. firm to construct it." (WSJ)
The Taliban later came back to prominence, and Hillary Clinton again tried to work with them to push through the pipeline deal.
Considering her record of plutocratic terrorism against Afghanistan and identical record against Libya (which is revealed in leaked emails) and numerous other countries, is it any wonder that Hillary has always supported US genocide against Iraqis, who live in one of the most oil-rich countries in the world?

The School Act requires health services to be provided by School Boards and outlines the duties and responsibilities of the school medical health officer. School medical health officers are designated by regional health boards, authorized to inspect school buildings and surroundings, and may order closure of schools if the health or safety of students is at risk. School medical health officers may also examine the general health of students attending the schools. If a health condition of a student endangers the health or welfare of other students or employees, the school medical officer must inform the school board and the board must take action.
School staff is responsible for reporting a student who suffers from a condition that might endanger the health or welfare of the others at the school. This could result in school staff insisting that the student not return to the school until cleared to do so by the school medical officer. School Boards may also require employees to undergo examinations by a medical practitioner on the advice of the school medical officer and must suspend employees who are determined to be a danger to the health and welfare of students.

Rep. Mica Calls for EPA Administrator to Resign over Flint Water Crisis
By Melanie Arter | March 18, 2016 | 11:35am EDT
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy (AP Photo)
(CNSNews.com) - Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.) called for the resignation of Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy on Thursday during the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's third hearing on the Flint water crisis.
"No one acted, and I heard calls for resignation. I think you should be at the top of the list," Mica told McCarthy after grilling her over whether anyone was fired at the EPA. He asked whether she had the ability to act when she finds out "things aren't going right in these systems."
"You have the compliance authority under law, don't you?" Mica asked.
"Yes, sir," McCarthy replied.
When asked whether anyone was fired in the EPA as a result of the water crisis, McCarthy said, "No, sir."
Former Region 5 EPA administrator Susan Hedman resigned in January over her handling of the crisis.
"In fact, what disturbs me," Mica said, "I checked to see-- like Hedman who was in charge. She was underneath you as a regional administrator. She was getting vacation time bonuses – got the last one May 28th while—the regional administrator's getting vacation time bonuses while the kids are getting poisoned. She finally resigned herself. You never fired anyone.
"You have great people working at EPA," Mica said, referring to EPA Region 5 Regulations Manager Miguel Del Toral, who tested the water in Flint and issued a memo on June 24, 2015 warning that the lack of corrosion control methods resulted in high levels of lead in the drinking water after the city switched its water source from Lake Huron to the Flint River.
"This Mr. Del Toral should get a congressional gold medal. Mrs. Walters blew the whistle," Mica said, referring to Flint resident Leann Walters, who alerted the mayor about her children being poisoned by lead in the water.
"She came to the local authorities. We had the mayor in here. She told me in March of 2015 she met the mayor at the library, and he promised to do everything. She went to city hall April 3rd or beginning of April, and no one would see her. She was put off, and to the day of the hearing the other day, the mayor had never talked to her after that," Mica said.
"You can read Del Toral's report. It's incredibly accurate. This is dated in June, and not a damn thing was done until really, until January of this year, and I went back and asked Mrs. Walters. I said when did they finally come in? Because the mayor and others and your EPA administrator from the district said that, oh we acted immediately. They didn't act," Mica said. "They gagged Mr. Del Toral.
In a July 8, 2015 e-mail provided by the committee, Del Toral complained, "It almost feels like I'm to be stuck in a corner holding up a potted plant because of Flint. One mis-step in 27+ years here and people lose their minds."
"Did you ever see this report?" Mica asked McCarthy.
McCarthy acknowledged that she had seen the report, but couldn't remember "the exact day."
"Again, a high school student could take this report and determine that kids were getting poisoned. He confirmed it. He went in and tested everything – the pipes in the building," Mica said, describing the process Del Toral used to determine what was causing the high lead levels.
"Did you ever shut these programs down or go after them?" Mica asked. "You did not. You did not. No one acted, and I heard calls for resignation. I think you should be at the top of the list."
"Well, sir if you'd let me answer, I might be able to—" McCarthy responded before being cut off again by Mica.
"They failed at the local level. They failed at the state level, and we failed at the federal level, and who's in charge? The district head gets a vacation bonus. The kids get lead poisoned, and you're still in office. Mr. Chairman, I yield back," Mica said.
McCarthy asked for an opportunity to respond to Mica. She said the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) told the EPA on April 24, 2015 that there was no corrosion control treatment, after telling the EPA prior to that it had done the treatment.
"I think it's important to know that when we found out finally – because the MDEQ told us on April 24th prior to that that there was no corrosion control treatment, reversing what they had earlier told us that they did corrosion control in the system - that we had already told MDEQ that they actually had to require the city of Flint to move ahead with corrosion control treatment well in advance of that memo," McCarthy said, "and we consistently said the same thing.
"That is a report on three homes in the same area," McCarthy said regarding the Del Toral memo. "Because of the complexity of lead, we did not and could not have made a concerted judgment about whether it was a systemic problem.
"When we had the information, when we received it from MDEQ - which wasn't until July 21st - we told them we're done talking. We now know it's a systemic problem. You do it or we'll do it," she said regarding the EPA's instructions to MDEQ.
"They said we'll do it," McCarthy said, referring to the MDEQ, "and since that point and time, MDEQ slow walked everything they needed to do. That precluded us from being able to jump into the rescue.
"That is what happened, and if people are worried about whether we silenced Miguel, Miguel is a hero on this. He remains a central part of our decision-making. He's one of our experts we rely on," McCarthy said.
McCarthy said it MDEQ which trying to discredit Del Toral, not the EPA.
"The simple fact is that MDEQ was the one who told everybody outside that he was rogue employee to discredit him, just as the MDEQ was doing – as the governor's task force said in trying to discredit anybody who said there was a problem with that drinking water system. We were strong armed. We were misled. We were kept in arms. We couldn't do our jobs effectively," McCarthy said.
"You just don't get it. You just don't get it. You still don't get it," Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) responded.

When accidents cause damage or injury and the responsible driver is uninsured, a claim can be made to the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB), an organisation financed by motor insurers with the intention of compensating those who have been involved in accidents with uninsured drivers or those who cannot be traced.
The existence of the MIB is the result of governmental insistence that insurers should operate a safety net for those involved in accidents with uninsured or untraced drivers. However, it is controlled by the motor insurance industry and is not free from conflicts of interest.
Changes to its Untraced Drivers Agreement and Uninsured Drivers Agreement came into effect on 1 March 2017. These are intended to remove some of the impediments to claims under the old rules and to achieve a better degree of compliance with European law designed to ensure that victims of accidents involving untraced vehicles or uninsured drivers can be compensated.
One significant change is that the MIB will be required to pay for damage to an uninsured driver's car where this is caused by another uninsured vehicle or a 'hit and run' driver.
If you have been the victim of an accident, expert legal advice is the best assurance you can have of getting fully compensated.


Does the Ooma Outage Portend of New FCC Rules?
Interconnected VoIP provider Ooma suffered a three-hour outage late last week. Ooma identified the cause of the outage as "an extremely rare power failure at a portion of our data center," but the effect of the outage may have a much broader impact. The outage comes only two weeks after VoIP providers opposed extension of the FCC's outage reporting rules to them. Timing, as they say, is everything. In this case, the timing of the outage appears to be unfortunate.
The Ooma outage may assure FCC staff that they are on the right track in requiring reporting of such outages in the future. Just last week, the Public Safety Bureau announced it was holding a "Workshop/Webinar" on the extension of the reporting requirements to VoIP and broadband providers. The portion of the workshop devoted to outage reporting is described as examining how public safety agencies and critical infrastructure industries rely on communications "and how outages of interconnected VoIP and broadband Internet service providers could affect their vital work." It looks like the FCC needs no convincing of the wisdom of requiring new outage reporting by VoIP providers.


The theme for 2017 is "Oh! Canada" in honour of Canada's sesquicentennial.
Canada, a strong and proud country will be celebrating the150th anniversary of Confederation and Canada Blooms is excited to kick off the Spring gardening celebrations showcasing our theme — "Oh! Canada".
We are inviting our landscape architects, design/build experts and floral artists to dazzle us with their unique interpretations of "Oh! Canada".
Our curiosity has been piqued. Will they shine a spotlight on the beautiful change of seasons, which makes us a popular tourist destination; our democracy or cultural diversity; our many landmarks or celebrities; or perhaps something as Canadian as hockey (even if lacrosse is the official sport)?
Oh! Canada, there is so much to be proud of, and so much to celebrate. So, mark your calendars now and join our celebration -- March 10-19, 2017 at the Enercare Centre.
The Canada 150 Tulip, the official tulip of Canada's 150th anniversary, was unveiled in early May in Ottawa.
You can expect to see more than 200,000 Canada 150 tulips blooming across the National Capital Region this spring. The Canada 150 tulip's elegant white bloom with red flames bears a striking resemblance to our maple leaf flag.
The National Capital Commission (NCC) has partnered with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Home Hardware, exclusive retailer of this special tulip bulb, and Communities in Bloom for the selection and distribution of the Canada 150 tulip.
During the sesquicentennial celebrations in spring 2017, 300,000 Canada 150 tulips will be showcased in the NCC's flower beds, and thousands more will bloom in community gardens across Canada.
• The public can purchase Canada 150 tulip bulbs at participating Home Hardware stores nationwide as of September 2016.
• The first tulip beds in the Capital were planted in 1945, when the Netherlands sent 100,000 tulip bulbs as a postwar gift of gratitude for the role that Canadian soldiers had played in the liberation of the Netherlands.
"Once again, the Master Gardeners of Ontario enthusiastically embraced Canada Blooms and judging from the number of visitors that had questions answered, listened to some terrific speakers, or took an early morning tour, the general public were equally as enthusiastic.
Having two clinic locations enabled MG's to give gardening advice and tips to 2505 visitors on a diverse range of issues and problems, with many visitors coming prepared with photos of ailing or unidentified plants. From day one to the close of show, smiling and welcoming MG volunteers from all over the province could be seen hard at work.
The MG speaker series was also very well received reaching an audience of over 1365 in its new location. With a wide variety of topics to choose from, this was not only a great educational opportunity but also a chance for the weary visitor to sit and take a rest while learning something new.
If you didn't have a chance to catch up with a MG at the show, these knowledgeable gardeners are hard at work all year round in many communities in Ontario - further information can be found at www.mgoi.ca."

• Plant the bud union 5 cm below the soil line.
• Fertilize with transplanter formula 5-15-5.
• After three or four weeks, change to a brand name rose food. Established roses should be fed every week from early spring to late August.
• On the premise that prevention is easier than a cure, spray once per week with insecticide/fungicide.
The rose bed or planting hole should be well-prepared. Dig deep, at least 45 cm. The soil should be two parts sandy clay loam, one part well-composted manure and one part peat moss, plus 4 kg of bonemeal for every 10 square metres or, a cupful for each plant.
Choice roses are produced by budding selected types to hardy rootstock. The bud union, which may look like a swollen portion at the bottom of the canes, should, in our Canadian climate, be planted one or two inches below the soil. Be aware that American or English publications may specify the bud union be placed above the soil.
Newly planted, potted roses should be fertilized with diluted transplanter. Follow the label's instructions. Established roses should be fertilized with a name brand rose food. These formulations contain many trace elements essential to the roses' health. Apply in early May, mid-June and again in mid-July.
Roses should be watered deeply and well once per week. The best method in beds is to use a trickle hose that can be left on running slowly on the ground, thereby avoiding wetting of the foliage and splattering of the soil.
Cocoa bean shells make excellent mulch for roses. They dress the bed, conserve moisture and keep down weeds. Other suitable mulches include bark chunks or shredded bark.
Under a sunny sky, over 100 enthusiastic members of 27th Oshawa Scouts joined community volunteers to plant 400 trees in Durham Court Park in Oshawa. The park, located just north of the Highway of Heroes, had all of it's large ash trees recently removed. It was time to start replanting! And replant they did.
The trees included native maples, Canadian hemlock, red and white oak, Canadian white spruce, native white cedar, elderberry, paper canoe birch, juneberry/serviceberry/shadblow and choke cherry. With such a mixture of species it won't be long before the area is well on its way to being renaturalized.
Uxbridge Nurseries and Hillen Nurseries generously provided a supply of trees.

Georgia's Runoff Drama Likely to Drag On for Days Before Results
by Billy House | Bloomberg | Published on December 30, 2020
(Bloomberg) — The high-stakes Jan. 5 Senate runoffs in Georgia are expected to play out a lot like November's presidential election — with the result delayed for days, or weeks, as near-record numbers of votes are counted.
In the Nov. 3 contest, the results were so close that it took 10 days before television networks projected that Democrat Joe Biden won Georgia. The state didn't certify his victory for another week, and it was certified twice more, lastly on Dec. 7.
With the runoff elections expected to be similarly tight, the results are likely to be slow again, leaving control of the U.S. Senate in doubt well into next month.
"Almost no chance it's called on election night," said Kerwin Swint, a political scientist at Kennesaw State University.
Adding to the drama, just as in November, the first returns coming in on election night are likely to favor Republicans, with Democrats gaining ground as mail-in and absentee ballots are counted in subsequent days.
Voters cast their ballots in Norcross, Georgia, on Nov. 3.

"And then here comes the lawyers on horseback," predicted Rick Dent, a political consultant who worked for the late Zell Miller, the last Democratic Senator from Georgia.
The unusual dual run-off pits GOP Senator David Perdue against Democrat Jon Ossoff, and Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler against Democrat Raphael Warnock, after none of the candidates got more than 50% of the vote in the Nov 3 general election.
The outcomes are critical to deciding whether the Senate will be split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans — leaving Democratic Vice President-elect Kamala Harris able to cast tie-breaking votes — or the GOP will stay in command of the Senate. And that outcome is critical to Biden's ability to enact his legislative agenda in the first two years of his term.
The Democrats plan to fight to the end. Harris will travel to Savannah to campaign on behalf of Ossoff and Warnock on Sunday, while Biden will do the same in Atlanta on Monday.
President Donald Trump's continuing unfounded claims of voter fraud in Georgia and elsewhere appears to have inspired Perdue to set the stage for post-election challenges.
"No matter what shenanigans they did in November, we know what they were up to, and now we're watching," Perdue told a rally on Tuesday. "And we're going to do everything we can to make this election in January clear, transparent and fair."
Congress Goes On
The new Congress begins Sunday and the already finalized Nov. 3 races give Republicans 50 seats to Democrats' 48. On that day, Perdue's current term expires and his seat will stay vacant until the winner of his showdown with Ossoff is decided.
Loeffler is serving out an unfinished term of former Senator Johnny Isakson, so she can continue to work, uninterrupted, even if a winner in her contest against Warnock is not yet certified.
The high stakes are reflected in an early voting turnout that has already reached more than 2.3 million, according to latest numbers from the Georgia Secretary of State's office, including more than 802,000 returned absentee ballots, and more than 1.5 million people voting in-person.
One official said Tuesday the state hopes counties will have processed all the absentee ballots they receive up to Jan. 5, so that all they need to process on Election Day will be what arrives that day before 7 p.m.
But the official, who asked not to be identified to speak freely, said that most counties had counted all their absentee ballots before the general election on Nov. 3, and it still took days to process the last-minute arrivals.
Swint said that counting process "will probably be at least a few days, and then very likely court challenges after that."
"The process will follow whatever course the process must take," Ossoff said Tuesday when asked about potential lawsuits and challenges. But he added, "We will see how the process unfolds to make sure every ballot is counted."
He accused the GOP of already filing lawsuits "trying to move folks who have recently registered to provisional status. They're trying to purge the rolls. They're trying to remove drop-boxes where people can submit their absentee ballots. And again, this is an effort to disenfranchise black voters in Georgia."
The expected lack of clarity has at least one of the four senate campaigns quietly considering holding no event on Election Night, at all.
Dent warned, "It's going to be the election that never ends."

I hypothesize that rare species will be more easily found as they become abundant, when sampling effort is increased, and morphologically distinct species are more likely to be detected. I spiked different densities of NIS into zooplankton samples from Hamilton Harbour to simulate rarity and assess detection rate with both microscopy and FlowCAM. My results indicate a positive relationship between detection and abundance, counting effort, and distinctiveness.
Haskell Smith generally takes the position that nudism, even if it offends us, is a right, not a privilege. But even some nudists believe in limiting the nude socializing to consenting groups, such as a nudist club or beach, as he notes in the book. If nudism is nonsexual, it's difficult to argue that consent is needed, but the line between sexual and nonsexual nudity can also be tricky..

"I was incredibly angry, " Wheatcroft replied. "I was faced with an obstacle, [and] the only reason I couldn't overcome it was because I couldn't see.

Vision Remember, your other employees are likely to be hourly or salaried; it's you who'll succeed or fail with the store. It's up to you to make sure that you attract enough customers, and that means designing and maintaining a vision for the store. Decide which demographic you want to target, then purchase inventory to appeal to your chosen market, and arrange it in a way that your targeted customers will find pleasing..
It was a historian's job to analyse the past by following a socially acceptable framework that determined how they viewed evidence. This was due to the inherent subjectivity integrated into a historian's practice of selecting and omitting sources to turn facts into history. Historians attempted to be objective by conforming to popular views of how a historian should approach their profession.

Don't Count Him Out Yet: Jet Li is Still Kickin' It, in Good Health
Kristen Barrett
Fans of Jet Li can breathe a sigh of relief.
Photos of the world famous martial arts actor appeared on social media recently, in which he appeared shockingly aged and frail. Fans immediately took to the internet to express their worry that Li was in failing health, and that he was looking far beyond his 55 years.
"He is completely fine," his manager, Steven Chasman, assured. "We appreciate everyone's concern. But Jet is completely fine," he told USA Today. "There's nothing wrong with him. There's no life-threatening illness. He's in great shape."
The photos that appeared online of Li were taken while he graced a temple in Tibet with his presence. One particular picture shows him smiling and in seemingly good spirits, but standing under an unflattering, glaring light that may have given Li a grey, unhealthy cast that concerned his fans. His manager pointed out, "If you took a picture of me at the wrong angle and wrong time of the day, I could look frail, as well."

It's worth noting that Li was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in 2013 and has been dealing with its side effects, which include muscle weakness and sleeplessness, ever since. Luckily, he seems to be taking it in stride, and continues to march steadily on.
It would seem that the worry that rippled its way through the internet is, as Li's manager says, "much ado about nothing".

Coinbase to cut another 20% of its workforce in the second wave of layoffs
Major cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is starting 2023 with more layoffs, letting go of another 20% of its employees in a second major wave of layoffs.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong officially announced on Jan. 10 that Coinbase will cut 950 jobs as part of the company's measures to reduce the firm's operating costs by around 25% amid the ongoing crypto winter.
Armstrong emphasized that Coinbase is "well capitalized," and crypto "isn't going anywhere," but the firm has to proceed with layoffs in order to keep the "appropriate operational efficiency." As part of a headcount reduction, Coinbase will be shutting down several projects with a "lower probability of success," the CEO noted, without specifying what projects will be terminated exactly.
"In fact, I believe recent events will ultimately end up benefiting Coinbase greatly," Armstrong stated, referring to the growing regulatory clarity and Coinbase's opportunities due to the failure of FTX. He added:
"But it will take time for these changes to come to fruition, and we need to make sure we have the appropriate operational efficiency to weather downturns in the crypto market and capture opportunities that may emerge."
Coinbase's blog announcement is accompanied by the firm's 8k form filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which states that Coinbase's audited financial statements for 2022 are not yet available.
As part of the restructuring plan to reduce its operating costs, Coinbase expects to spend about 149 million to $163 million, including $58 million to $68 million in cash charges related to employee severance and other termination benefits. The Company expects execution of the plan to be substantially complete by the second quarter of 2023, the filing notes.
The latest layoffs come months after Coinbase initially reduced its headcount by 18% in June 2022, with Armstrong citing a starting economic recession.

This is the third in a six-post series. Here are links to part one and part two.
It's been said that it takes a whole village to raise our children. It also takes a village to raise a playground! We have established how important it is to promote play in our communities and discussed a process to determine your needs, budget, and location of your playground. Now it's time to rally support in order to make this project a success.
You will need to help your neighbors understand what a valuable resource this playground will be to the community. In a previous post, we've talked about how play increases a child's self-esteem and develops social and cognitive skills important for their future adult interactions. Use this fact when you tell others why installing playground equipment is worth the time and effort that they will need to contribute in order to make it a reality. For more scientific support of the importance of play, request a free copy of "Words on Play: A Treatise on its Value," which has insights from scholars who specialize in brain development, inclusion, nature, and more.
Who will be impacted or affected by a new playground project?
Whose support or involvement do you need to make your playground a success?
Are there key individuals who must be "won over"?
What are the interests, motivations, and perspectives of each individual?
Are the individuals or groups organized? Do they speak with one voice?
What can they bring to (or take away from) the project?
How will the project leaders contact and involve stakeholders?
Is there a role for local media to announce and publicize your new playground?
The first thought many people have is to engage individuals like local politicians and school officials. But these are not the only people you could ask to get involved. Reach out to local businesses and non-profit organizations. By partnering with like-minded organizations such as schools, hospitals, parks, and recreation centers, you may be able to help your project move forward a little faster. They might also offer opportunities to expand the effort and recruit new resources.
Once you've made a list of these leaders you want to help lead the cause, then hold a larger public meeting to inform everyone about the necessary steps to put this plan into motion. Schedule multiple meetings so influential community members can attend and voice their support for the project. It's important to realize that everyone wants to make a difference, but may not know how. You have an opportunity to show them that contributing to this project is an essential step in helping their neighborhood grow and provide a place for their kids to develop socially and physically. Work with individuals to find ways that they can help based on their interest and skill level.
A good way to show the community how prepared you are and how much thought you've put into the playground is to anticipate some questions and prepare answers in advance.
Is there a better way to spend the money?
How will the playground benefit me, my child, my needs, and our community?
Will the playground address a specific problem in the neighborhood? And how?
Building a playground is no small feat. But remember what we said in our last post, members of your community can be powerful assets in moving the project forward. It's important to engage your community and help them see how everyone's combined effort can make a difference in getting your playground built. Plus, you'll want as many hands on deck as possible so be sure to tap into everyone's individual strengths and enlist their help!
