Chance The Rapper Celebrates Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Departure
Chance The Rapper addresses the news of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel stepping down after his term.
On Tuesday, surprising news came out of Chicago when Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced he will not seek re-election for a third term, ultimately calling it quits when his term is over.
"As much as I love this job and will always love this city and its residents, I've decided not to seek re-election," the Rahm said Tuesday. "This has been the job of a lifetime, but it is not a job for a lifetime […] Now with our three children in college, Amy and I have decided it's time to write another chapter together."
Rahm has been a part of a number controversies since he's been Mayor of Chicago throughout his time. From mishandling the Laquan McDonald shooting in 2014 to his education policies that resulted in the closure of multiple public schools, the Chicago Mayor has been criticized by several officials & people in Chicago, one of which was Chance The Rapper who called out Rahm on the track "I Might Need Security" from June. "And Rahm you done, I'm expecting a resignation and open investigation on all these paid vacations for murderers," Chance spits, and luckily for him it turns out he was right.
Following the news of Rahm's stepping down, Chance hopped on Twitter Tuesday afternoon and gave praise to the organizations who helped secure the mayor's resignation.
"Shoutout to all the grassroots orgs like @AssataDaughters @BYP_100 and many others that pushed for accountabily and resignation from Rahm. His announcement to not run however, is not Justice for Laquan McDonald, only convicting muderer Jason Van Dyke can bring that," he tweeted out before saying we need a new mayor who "cares about equity in regards to education, job development and healthcare in one of the most segregated cities in the country."
Check out Chance's tweets (below).

History of Vila Real de Santo António
Always ahead of time
Vila Real de Santo António is a wonder of 18th-century urban planning. Almost destroyed by the infamous earthquake and subsequent tsunami in 1755, it was none other than prime minister Marquis of Pombal who gave orders for this village to be rebuilt using the anti-seismic Neoclassical style as part of the Enlightenment movement. Designed in a Pombaline orthogonal grid, it was set to become the most modern city in the country and the flourishing economic centre of the Algarve in the 18th century.
The centre of Vila Real de Santo António was inspired by downtown Lisbon, with the geometric design of its streets and the radial patterns of the beautiful Portuguese cobbled stone pavement on the main square, which houses the city hall and the mother church. A total of 190 buildings remain from the city's foundation period, with some of them still showcasing their original appearance and featuring traditional and beautiful ironwork balconies. The streets, as stiff and straight as soldiers on parade, lead off from a wide open square. The façades of the houses repeat the balanced forms of a sober and restrained architectural style: expressions of the 18th-century Enlightenment of which Vila Real de Santo António is a perfect example.

McNellis, T.W.; von Arnim, A.G.; Araki, T.; Komeda, Y.; Miséra, S.; Deng, X.W.
The Arabidopsis protein COP1, encoded by the CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC locus 1, is an essential regulatory molecule that plays a role in the repression of photomorphogenic development in darkness and in the ability of light-grown plants to respond to photoperiod, end-of-day far-red treatment, and ratio of red/far-red light. The COP1 protein contains three recognizable structural domains: starting from the N terminus, they are the zinc binding motif, the putative coiled-coil region, and the domain with multiple WD-40 repeats homologous to the beta subunit of trimeric G-proteins (G beta). To understand the functional implications of these structural motifs, 17 recessive mutations of the COP1 gene have been isolated based on their constitutive photomorphogenic seedling development in darkness. These mutations define three phenotypic classes: weak, strong, and lethal. The mutations that fall into the lethal class are possible null mutations of COP1. Molecular analysis of the nine mutant alleles that accumulated mutated forms of COP1 protein revealed that disruption of the G beta-protein homology domain or removal of the very C-terminal 56 amino acids are both deleterious to COP1 function. In-frame deletions or insertions of short amino acid stretches between the putative coiled-coil and G beta-protein homology domains strongly compromised COP1 function. However, a mutation resulting in a COP1 protein with only the N-terminal 282 amino acids, including both the zinc binding and the coiled-coil domains, produced a weak phenotypic defect. These results indicated that the N-terminal half of COP1 alone retains some activity and a disrupted C-terminal domain masks this remaining activity.

Jets QB Mike White is focusing on the Vikings…

Jets QB Mike White is focusing on the Vikings and nothing beyond that
PUBLISHED: December 1, 2022 at 3:24 p.m. | UPDATED: December 1, 2022 at 3:24 p.m.
Mike White's first start of the season couldn't have gone any better.
Now he and the Jets are hoping for another standout performance against the talented Vikings defense.
"They play what they play and they play it well," White said about the Vikings defense. "It helps having a lot of experience on the backend as they play that keep everything in the front and limit the big plays.
"It is a test of patience…but you can't get caught in that game. You have to take what they give you and have to consistently do it."
Last week against the Bears, White completed 22-of-28 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns as he efficiently ran the Jets offense.
That was a significant change from Zach Wilson, who was benched last week after his performance against the Patriots on Nov. 20 when he completed only 9-of-22 passes for 77 yards in a 10-3 loss. Now White will look to replicate his performance last week against a Vikings team that isn't known for its pass coverage.
Minnesota is ranked dead last in passing yards allowed as they give up 276.1 yards per game through the air. The Vikings are 14th in the league in sacks, as they have 29 on the season. They rarely blitz, as Minnesota likes to use its defensive linemen to create pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
"They've played a lot of ball," White said about the Vikings defense. "They're an experienced bunch, they're smart, they play with vision, so you definitely have to be on your P's and Q's and you gotta execute and be on your details.
"The pass rush with Za'Darius Smith and Danielle Hunter, they're good. It's no walk in the park, you gotta be on your stuff and you gotta execute."
White's story is one that is often portrayed in movies. After he was signed to the Jets practice squad in 2019, he was waived and then added back to the practice squad. Then following a stint on the active roster, White was waived again, only to stick with the Jets in 2021.
Then he got his shot to start last season against the Bengals after Wilson suffered a PCL injury that caused him to miss four games. In his first career start, White completed 37-of-45 passes for 405 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in a 37-34 upset win against Cincinnati.
White couldn't duplicate the same success after that in losses against the Colts and the Bills. Against Buffalo, White completed 24-of-44 passes for 251 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions.
Coming into this training camp, White got off to a slow start as he was the third-string quarterback behind Wilson and Joe Flacco. And then Wilson got hurt and missed seven weeks due to a meniscus injury in the preseason, which elevated White to backup behind Flacco.
Following Wilson's return, White moved back down to third-string but became the Jets' backup quarterback once again after the Jets demoted Flacco to third-string. Now he finds himself again in the starting role with a chance to hold on to it for the rest of the year.
During the last year plus, White says he learned a lot.
"I can play every play from that game over and over again more than the Cincinnati game," White said. "I think that's when you learn the most when things don't go so well.
"I learned a lot and the problem that I can get into is I'm able to process things quickly, it is just keeping my body in sync with how fast my brain is processing.
"I learned a lot and on top of that, just not playing hero ball like I've referenced a bunch of times. I think that was a big part of what I got away from, I thought I needed to get the team back into the game and that's not how the game is supposed to be played."
The Jets haven't committed to White for the rest of the season as they said they plan to eventually get Wilson back onto the field at some point. When that is exactly is yet to be determined.
With the Jets at 7-4 and having an opportunity to claim one of the playoff spots in the AFC, White has a chance to help them clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2010. As long as White continues to play well, it is hard to see the team benching him for Wilson, who has failed to live up to his No. 2 overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Jets likely want to see if White can continue to stack up wins and performances as he did against the Bears and against the Bengals before committing to anything long-term. Either way, White said he is not looking over his shoulder because of the lack of commitment.
"The only way to attack this is the same way as last year," White said. "The NFL is 17 one-week seasons. Because when you win one week, you're on top of the world and if you lose the next week, it's the end of the world.
"I think how I'm personally going to attack this is try to beat Minnesota this week and have fun with my guys."

Abstract: This research explores the relationship between business strategy and survival. Seven annual panels of longitudinal data enable us to study riskiness (likelihood of failure) as a function of business strategy. We find failure rates are higher for those businesses with purer strategy positions. Two mechanisms are offered as potential explanations for this result: robustness and adaptability. While prior research has found pure strategies have higher returns, our findings suggest that pursuing a hybrid strategy may be an entirely reasonable choice, balancing risk and return.
Suàrez, J-L.; White, R. E.; Parker, S. C.; Jimenez-Mavillard, A., 2021, "Entrepreneurship bias and the mass media: Evidence from big data", Academy of Management Discoveries, June 7(2): 247 - 265.
Abstract: Does the mass media promote entrepreneurship? Using big data in combination with a machine learning aided analysis we discover a positive sentiment bias associated with entrepreneurship present in two major English language media outlets – The New York Times and the Financial Times. Over eight hundred thousand excerpts from a 12 and 16-year period were analyzed. Those containing the words 'entrepreneur' and 'founder' had much more positive sentiment than did excerpts with the words 'manager' and 'executive'. A parallel analysis of the FANG companies (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google) in comparison to a set of older and more established Fortune 500 companies produced similar results. While more work is needed to make the link between media biases and career choice, we believe this media bias promotes entrepreneurship, resulting in lower (average) incomes and higher risks for those engaged in this career path. However, because entrepreneurial activity can create positive externalities in the broader economy this bias, while financially disadvantageous for the average entrepreneur, may be beneficial overall for their society.

Abstract: What determines the emergence of a winner between competing technologies? We examine competition between flat panel display technologies, with the purpose of understanding of how liquid crystal display was able to surpass plasma display panel technology despite the initial lack of a convincing technological or cost advantage, and in the absence of network externalities. We propose an explanation whereby the relative availability of pathways of suitable adjacent applications markets provides differential opportunities for technologies to increase their scope and scale of application incrementally, effecting the speed of development as well as the cost effectiveness of the end products. Our findings suggest that these sets of adjacent application markets available can strongly influence which technologies emerge as winners and which are eventually abandoned.

Abstract: We find that differences in an individual's prenatal environment explain heterogeneity in financial decisions much later in life. An exogenous increase in exposure to prenatal testosterone, the most potent sex hormone in humans, leads to the masculinization of financial behavior, specifically elevated risk-taking and trading in adulthood. We also examine birth weight, the most widely used summary measure of the prenatal environment. New borns with higher birth weight are more likely to participate in the stock market, while those with lower birth weight have portfolios with higher volatility and skewness, consistent with compensatory behavior.Our results contribute to the understanding of how the prenatal environment shapes an individual's behavior in financial markets later in life.

Abstract: Having received the Decade Award for the most highly cited paper from the prior decade, we reflect on how our framework of organizational learning (OL) has been employed in subsequent research and whether a theory of OL has emerged. Our citation review revealed that while some of the subsequent research has added to the original work, the challenge to develop an accepted theory remains unrealized. We offer promising directions for developing a theory of OL.

Abstract: This study addresses two questions: 1) Does General Electric have an exceptional ability to develop non-firm-specific general management talent and 2) How can GE's investment into non-firm-specific, non-proprietary managerial capabilities be explained theoretically? Our analysis provides evidence that GE has an extraordinary managerial development capability. Our theory suggests GE's managerial development process is Valuable, Rare, Inimitable, and Organized to be exploited, and, therefore, a source of sustained competitive advantage. This process produces a flow of managers with the potential to be sources of temporary competitive advantage for GE. Outward flow of executive talent is a required byproduct of the process.
Kachra, A.; White, R. E., 2008, "Know-How Transfer: The Role of Social, EconomicCompetitive and Firm Boundary Factors", Strategic Management Journal, April 29(4): 425 - 445.
Abstract: Using policy capture methodology, this study examines the effect of different contextual cues upon the know-how transfer efforts reported by 79 biotechnology R&D scientists. Theoretically, these different cues are believed to affect the scientists' expectation of reciprocity, and thus their know-how transfer behavior. Three types of contextual cues between the know-how source and recipient were studied: competitiveness, social relationship, and within or across firm boundaries. We find these cues are associated, in the expected directions, with know-how transfer effort. The findings support a general theory of reciprocity whereby social, competitive, and firm boundary cues have a summative effect upon the expectation of reciprocity and know-how transfer. This is the first study to examine how these cues taken together influence the know-how transfer decision.

Abstract: Why do people get involved in the creation of new ventures? Prior research suggests entrepreneurial behavior has multiple causes. Nurture explanations often couched in terms of sociological theories like social learning have been popular. Aspects of nascent entrepreneurs' social contexts, notably their family business background, have been associated with new venture creation. But nature also appears to play a role. Other research has linked heritable biological factors, including testosterone, with the career choice to launch a new venture. This study presents theory and evidence linking the combination of both sociological and biological factors with new venture creation: a biosocial model of entrepreneurship. Empirical results indicate new venture creation is more likely among those individuals having a higher testosterone level in combination with a family business background.
Thornhill, S. J.; White, R. E., 2007, "Strategic Purity: A Multi-industry Evaluation of Pure versus Hybrid Business Strategies", Strategic Management Journal, May 28(5): 553 - 561.
Abstract: Twenty-five years of empirical research has failed to resolve a basic strategy question. Does strategic purity pay? Most theorists believe strategic purity - the extent to which a business pursues one type of generic strategy over another - contributes to better performance. By defining the strategy space consistent with the theory, and employing improved design and methods our study of 2,351 businesses finds a significant relationship between strategic purity and performance. Purity does appear to pay. Some variations in strategic purity and performance relationship were observed across four major industry sectors: manufacturing, construction, retail, and business services. But in all instances pure strategies never did less well, and often did better than hybrid strategies.

Abstract: Biological evolutionary processes select for heritable behaviors providing a survival or reproductive advantage. Accordingly, how we behave is, at least in part, affected by the evolutionary history of our species. This research uses evolutionary psychology as the theoretical perspective for exploring the relationship between a heritable biological characteristic (testosterone level) and an important business behavior (new venture creation). Data were collected from 31 MBA students with significant prior involvement in new venture creation and 79 other student subjects with no new venture start-up experience. Consistent with evolutionary psychological theory, the biological (testosterone level) effect upon overt behavior (new venture creation) was partially mediated by psychological disposition (risk propensity).
Pierce, B. L.; White, R. E., 2006, "Resource Context Contestability and Emergent Social Structure: An Empirical Investigation of an Evolutionary Theory", Journal of Organizational Behavior, March 27(2): 221 - 239.
Abstract: Using evolutionary theory as its underlying perspective this research explores the relationship between evolved social behaviors specifically emergent social structures, and the ecology of the social groups specifically the contestability of the resource context. Contexts where resources are clustered, predictable, and visible, and where consumption is delayed are highly contestable. When resources are dispersed, unpredictable, and concealed and consumption is immediate the context is less contestable. In our ancestral environment this variation in resource context posed differing adaptive problems for the formation and maintenance of social groups. Different social structures evolved to solve these different problems. The relationship between contestability of the resource context and emergent social structure was tested in an experiment employing 114 subjects over 21 trials. Individuals operating in a low contestable resource context perceived a more egalitarian, hedonic-like social structure those functioning in a high contestable context reported experiencing a more hierarchical, agonic-like social structure. These findings support the theory that our response to social situations is determined by an endogenous component, our evolved human nature, in combination with an exogenous component, the character of the ecology within which the group forms and functions. While the endogenous component is a product of the evolutionary process and largely beyond the influence of management, the ecological component, the perception of the resource context can be affected by managerial action. Implications for researchers and managers, and areas for continued investigation are explored.
White, R. E.; Pierce, B. D., 1999, "The Evolution of Social Structure: Why Biology Matters", Academy of Management Review, January 24(4): 843 - 853.
Abstract: Sociobiologists and evolutionary psychologists believe that much about behavior has deep evolutionary roots. This emerging paradigm about the origins of human nature are employed to explain social behavior and emergent social structures. Using the work of socioecologists and ethologists, these social structures are connected with features of the resource context. Although still controversial, using biological evolution to help explain (social) behaviors holds significant potential for advancing the organizational sciences.
Crossan, M. M.; Lane, H. W.; White, R. E., 1999, "An Organizational Learning Framework: From Intuition to Institution", Academy of Management Review, January 24(3): 522 - 537.
Abstract: Although interest in organizational learning has grown dramatically in recent years, a general theory of organizational learning has remained elusive. Renewal of the overall enterprise as the underlying phenomenon of interest and organization learning is identified as a principal means to this end. With this perspective, a framework for the process of organizational learning is developed, presenting organizational learning as 4 processes - intuiting, interpreting, integrating, and institutionalizing - linking the individual, group, and organizational levels.
Crossan, M. M.; Lane, H. W.; White, R. E.; Klus, L., 1996, "The Improvising Organization: Where Planning Meets Opportunity", Organizational Dynamics, January 24(4): 20 - 35.
Abstract: What distinguishes the best companies from all others is a superior ability to adapt to and capitalize on a rapidly changing and often unpredictable environment. Conversely, many large companies have fallen on hard times because they have been unable to innovate and renew themselves. But this failure is rarely, if ever, related to a lack of planning. These companies, with their legions of internal planners and external consultants, err by assuming that the business environment is knowable and therefore largely predictable. The lessons of chaos theory suggest that, beyond a certain point, the increased knowledge of complex systems does little to improve the ability to extend the horizon of predictability. The answer is to augment traditional planning with improvisation techniques used in music and theater.
Crossan, M. M.; Lane, H. W.; White, R. E.; Djurfeldt, L., 1995, "Organizational Learning: Dimensions for a Theory", International Journal of Organizational Analysis, January 3(4): 337 - 360.
Abstract: Organizational learning (OL) is receiving increasing attention from researchers and practitioners alike. In fact, some have suggested that the only sustainable competitive advantage is a firm's ability to learn faster than its competitors. In spite of OL's promise, the field has been slow to evolve. The primary impediments to the development of OL theory are that inconsistent terminology is used for comparable concepts and that different definitions are used to describe the phenomenon. Furthermore, many theorists have neglected to make explicit their underlying assumptions about the phenomenon. Employing an inductive approach, this review surfaces the implicit and explicit assumptions of OL researchers, identifying three key dimensions that differentiate perspectives: (1) unit of analysis - individual, group, organizational, and interorganizational (2) cognitivebehavioral emphasis and (3) the learning-performance relationship.

There's shopping to do, cookies to bake and parties to go to. And let's not forget holiday recitals, trips to the airport and post office runs. Does anyone have the time for healthy meals during the holidays?
Preparing nutritious meals and eating healthy do not have to be on the back burner at this time of the year, says Lizette Franks, dietician at Vista Community Clinic. Here are her tips on how to stay fit, feel good and avoid packing on the holiday pounds!
Stock your pantry with healthy, non-perishable items. If you are buying canned vegetables, make sure they don't have added salt.
Frozen vegetables without sauces are healthy options and save time when preparing main dishes.
Take advantage of pre-cut vegetables if your budget allows it. Always wash them before cooking and serving.
Buy protein in bulk and freeze smaller portions for quicker defrosting.
Cook large batches of brown rice and pasta, and freeze smaller portions for later use.
When serving vegetables, avoid creamy sauces and creamy dressings. Add flavor with balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, pepper and mustard, and herbs like mint, basil and cilantro.
Serve whole wheat rolls instead of crescent rolls. Limit butter to 1 tsp for spreading. Avoid butter for cooking and avoid margarine.
Stay away from high fat appetizers like sausages, chorizos, nachos and creamy dips.
Remove skin from poultry and turkey.
Avoid skipping meals. Begin your day with a healthy breakfast which includes a good source of fiber and some protein.
Keep hydrated, mainly with water, throughout the day.
Start your holiday meal with a salad to prevent overeating during the main course. Vegetables provide fiber and keep us fuller longer.
Eat slowly, making sure you enjoy every bite of your food.
Pause to drink water and wait for approximately 10 minutes before getting second helpings.
Start increasing your physical activity before the holidays. Park farther away from your work place and when you run errands. Make some additional rounds of the mall when you are out holiday shopping.
Plan on going for a walk after meals with friends or family.
Play catch, shoot the hoops or take a walk on the beach with your children.
Make music and dancing a part of your holiday celebrations.
Burn excess calories by catching up with housework. Spruce up the yard, organize your closets and clean the garage.

#ScienceSpeaks Women Want Sex Just As Much As Men Do
by Riya Roy · October 1, 2016
I have never been as satisfied by a research finding, as I am today! A study published by the University of Toronto and the University of Western Ontario in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology says that women want sex just as much as men do, which is definitely a lot more than what men claim about women. As a corollary, we can also say that men in long-term relationships, who keep ranting about how seldom their wives or girlfriends treat them to some action between the sheets, have been underestimating their women's ability to be intimate!
Image source: Tumblr
The research consisted of 3 studies, where 229 long-term couple, mostly heterosexual, were taken under observation. The participants age ranged between 18 and 68 years. The couples had been in a relationship for more than 6 years, on an average, and had reported to be having sex on an average of a couple of times, a week.
In the first study, 44 couples were asked to maintain a journal for three weeks, where they had to account for their own level of sexual desire every day, and their perception of their S.O.'s level of desire and satisfaction. In the second study, 84 pairs where asked to visit the laboratory once and report on their general levels of sexual drive and satisfaction, and their perception of their partner's drive, and the level of happiness in the relationship. In the last study, 101 couples were asked to maintain a journal, and report on the same three key issues, every day. In addition to that they were also asked to give an account of how motivated they were to avoid sexual rejection daily.
In all the three studies, researchers found the same thing: Women want sex just as much, but men underestimate their woman's desire.
On the days that men thought their female partner wasn't interested in sex, women reported just the opposite. Women, on the contrary, had a near-accurate read of whether or not their partner was motivated to have sex that day.
According to researchers, men are aware of the fact that women want sex just as much, but to avoid sexual rejection, they underestimate their female partner's sexual desire. When a man makes the first move, in terms of sex, if the woman snubs him, he is sure to feel bad, while the woman feels annoyed. In order to avoid this downward spiral, the man assumes that his woman isn't interested!
Suggested read: How sunlight can turn your lack of interest in sex around, says Science
According to researchers, the man may also work harder because of his assumption, to entice his girl into bed. Amy Muise, a PhD from University of Toronto says,
"It is better for the relationship for him to under-perceive, because it avoids complacency."
However, according to Kristen Mark, Director, Sexual Health Promotion Library, University of Kentucky,
"The assumption that women are going to be the lower-desire partner needs to be thrown out."
And for this women need to communicate their desire in a more obvious way for the man to understand. The woman has to know what she is expecting from her man, sexually, instead of thinking whether he will judge her for it or if he will be over-pressured by it.
Also, a couple should talk to each other about what signals they want the other to use to show that they are 'in the mood.' Dr Muise says,
"It's important not to initiate sex in a way that is a turn off to your partner."
So, pre-negotiate your best time, and make the most of it, because your woman wants just as much sex as you!

Q: Jackson: conflicting @JsonTypeInfo and @JsonSerialize(as=Klass.class) The problem
I need to polymorphically JSON-(de-)serialize an @Autowired Spring bean (I'm using Spring Boot 2.0.4) using only original properties.
Since the bean is "enhanced", it is a subclass of my "original" bean, with class name ending with something like $$EnhancerBySpringCGLIB$$12345.
Tried so far
To avoid Jackson trying to serialize the "enhanced" part, I've declared my bean as a supertype of itself with
@JsonSerialize(as=MyClass.class)

It worked as intended.
But, when I try to do polymorphic serialization with
@JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.CLASS, include = As.WRAPPER_OBJECT)

placed on the interface that the said class implements, the key of the wrapper object is the name of the enhanced class! The rest of JSON string is OK, that is, only properties of the "original" class are included. Needless to say, I can't de-serialize it now, since the mentioned subclass is not around any more.
Using JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME defeats the whole idea of polymorphic deserialisation, IMHO. I can figure out the target class by querying ApplicationContext, if nothing else works.
EDIT:
Here is a Foo Bar example:
@JsonAutoDetect(fieldVisibility = Visibility.ANY, getterVisibility = Visibility.NONE, setterVisibility = Visibility.NONE)

@JsonTypeInfo(use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.CLASS, include = As.WRAPPER_OBJECT)
public class Foo {

  private String foo = "Foo";

  @JsonSerialize(as = Bar.class)
  public static class Bar extends Foo {
    private String bar = "Bar";
  }

  public static class UnwantedMutant extends Bar {
    private String aThing = "Not welcome";
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) throws JsonProcessingException {
    ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
    UnwantedMutant mutant = new UnwantedMutant();
    System.out.println(mapper.writeValueAsString(mutant));
  }
}

This prints
{"mypackage.Foo$UnwantedMutant":{"foo":"Foo","bar":"Bar"}}

while
{"mypackage.Foo$Bar":{"foo":"Foo","bar":"Bar"}}

is expected/desired.
So, the question:
is there any solution to this problem with "pure" Jackson means, or I just have to live with it?

A: Did you try with:
@JsonRootName(value = "NameOfYourClass") ?
Sorry if I didn't understand your question.

Driven (Kobo eBook)
By Marcello Di Cintio
A Globe and Mail Book of the Year
A CBC Books Best Canadian Nonfiction of 2021
In conversations with drivers ranging from veterans of foreign wars to Indigenous women protecting one another, Di Cintio explores the borderland of the North American taxi.
"The taxi," writes Marcello Di Cintio, "is a border." Occupying the space between public and private, a cab brings together people who might otherwise never have met—yet most of us sit in the back and stare at our phones. Nowhere else do people occupy such intimate quarters and share so little. In a series of interviews with drivers, their backgrounds ranging from the Iraqi National Guard, to the Westboro Baptist Church, to an arranged marriage that left one woman stranded in a foreign country with nothing but a suitcase, Driven seeks out those missed conversations, revealing the unknown stories that surround us.
Travelling across borders of all kinds, from battlefields and occupied lands to midnight fares and Tim Hortons parking lots, Di Cintio chronicles the many journeys each driver made merely for the privilege to turn on their rooflight. Yet these lives aren't defined by tragedy or frustration but by ingenuity and generosity, hope and indomitable hard work. From night school and sixteen-hour shifts to schemes for athletic careers and the secret Shakespeare of Dylan's lyrics, Di Cintio's subjects share the passions and triumphs that drive them.
Like the people encountered in its pages, Driven is an unexpected delight, and that most wondrous of all things: a book that will change the way you see the world around you. A paean to the power of personality and perseverance, it's a compassionate and joyful tribute to the men and women who take us where we want to go.

RAMOS ON INGRAHAM
February 28, 2018 thenewbostonteaparty	1 Comment
On Tuesday's edition of "The Ingraham Angle," host Laura Ingraham debated Fusion news anchor Jorge Ramos on the merits of two recent court rulings surrounding President Donald Trump's immigration policy.
U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel – a frequent subject of Trump critiques for past rulings from the bench – decided that the White House can proceed with its planned border wall without regard to environmentalists' concerns.
Ramos said Trump should think differently now about Curiel, who was born in Indiana but is of Mexican ancestry.
He called Trump's previous comments about Curiel, suggesting possible bias on the judge's part, as "precisely the definition of racism."
Ingraham and Ramos also debated whether "illegal immigrant" should be a permissible phrase, as Ramos said no human is "illegal."
"Let's cut through all this," Ingraham responded. "Do you believe in nationhood?"
Ramos said he did, but added that America is "partly responsible" for its illegal immigration problem because it relies on illegal immigrants to work in the agriculture and construction fields.

VICENTE FOX DOUBLES DOWN ON THE WALL
El muro grande is causing a bit of excitement down Mexico way. Matter of fact the ex el-Presidente is quite perturbed to say the least. "We are not paying, I am not going to pay for that f-ing wall — I am not — and he should know that. I am not going to apologize," he said.
During this weeks Republican presidential debate, Donald Trump reacted to Fox's original statement on the matter, saying "the wall just got 10 feet taller."
While the Trump campaign has not responded to FOXBusiness.com's request for comment, during a rally in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday, he stated, "they want to be treated with tremendous respect even though they don't treat us with respect… so he dropped the f-bomb and I said to myself 'can you imagine if I said that?'"

POPE TREVAILS
February 19, 2016 thenewbostonteaparty	4 Comments
As the world turns in its axis so does the Pope; a traveling satellite so to speak. Touring one country after another. An Argentinian, Pope Francis has been there and not done that. Francis is the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, the first from the Southern Hemisphere and the first non-European pope since the Syrian Gregory III in 741.
He led the Argentine Church during the December 2001 riots in Argentina, and the administrations of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner considered him a political rival. This was a good thing, similar to the fall of Communism in Poland.
The international relations field knows Pope John Paul II for his temporal leadership in the Roman Catholic Church, but less is known about his pivotal role in the rise of Poland's independent trade movement of Poland standing firm against Communism.
Yet Soviet "liberation" of occupied Poland brought only further repression. And for 33 years, Wojtyla would promote Christianity and religious freedom under threat of a regime attempting to squash any opposition to atheistic totalitarian rule. Rising to the position of archbishop of Krakow in 1963, he carefully avoided direct criticism of the government, but spread his philosophy of Christian "humanism" through a series of poem-cycles that, in effect, worked to undermine the Marxist foundation of Communism. Yet clashes were inevitable—he encountered fierce opposition in his efforts to create 11 new parishes through door-to-door evangelism, and Soviet authorities tried to stop him from publicly leading Catholics in Poland's Corpus Christi procession, a medieval feast day celebrated every June.
Wojtyla's election as pope in 1978 armed him with an international following that, in retrospect, cowed even the Soviet empire. "Be not afraid" became his rallying cry, and following a 1979 address to the U.N. General Assembly in which he challenged the free world to defend human rights, he embarked on a courageous but dangerous nine-day public pilgrimage to "strengthen the brethren" in Poland. There he warned Communist authorities that the papacy would watch them closely, and he reminded them of their responsibility "before history and before your conscience." The people responded to John Paul II's visit with loyalty borne of years of shared suffering—banners with the Communist party slogan "The Party Is for the People" sported the daring addition, ". . . but the People are for the Pope."
John Paul II's example encouraged other leading church authorities, such as the Czech Cardinal Frantisek Tomasek, to become fierce critics of Communism. His visit also inspired an unemployed electrician named Lech Walesa to form in 1980 the Soviet Union's first and only trade union—Solidarity.
Instead of coming to the border and lambasting Trump, Pope Francis should pilgrimage in all the countries of Latin America run by Communists and dictators. Of course rabble rousing among the people in the drug infested waters Columbia, El Salvador, Nicaragua has risks. Lecturing Trump on a wall is a non starter. Walls, just like Robert Frost said, make good neighbors. Letting more druggies, murders, killers, rapists, leaches into the United States is the wrong thing to do. Trump is right, the Pope is wrong. We do not need a lecture on what is right and what is wrong.
And if he is so concerned about the poor, have the Vatican, with three to four trillion in assets, start selling their wares and distribute the proceeds to the poor. Ain't gonna happen folks. Stay tuned.

Clinton's Values vs. Trump's Tribalism: What Kind of Foreign Policy Does America Want?
What the presidential front-runners' AIPAC speeches tell us about their approaches to terrorism
By William Saletan
March 23, 20161:06 PM
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton presented these alternatives in their remarks at AIPAC on Monday.

Beirut, Paris, San Bernardino, Ankara, Brussels. We can't escape terrorism, but we can decide how to deal with it. In this year's election, we face a choice between two ways of responding. One is tribalism. The other is values.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton presented these alternatives in their remarks on Monday to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. AIPAC is the biggest pro-Israel lobby in the United States. Its membership is overwhelmingly Jewish, and that's the angle Trump chose to play. He pointed out, as he has in debates and in a previous speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition, that his daughter married a Jew and converted. He kvelled over his Jewish grandkids. Trump often mentions the "massive contributions" he has made to Israel and to Jewish organizations, the awards he has received in thanks, and a pro-Israel parade in which he served as grand marshal. He says his father was a big Israel backer, too. Jews are his people. It's a family thing.
This pitch works not just on many Jews, but also on conservative Christians who think of Israel as, in Trump's words, a "cultural brother." As Ben Carson put it last month: "We have a Judeo-Christian foundation, and the last thing we need to do is to reject Israel. … It's like when you have a child. You know, you want to be fair to all the children around, but you have a special attention for your own child."
From this point of view, outreach to other faiths is treachery. Sen. Marco Rubio, for instance, says President Obama "betrayed Israel, because he believes that if we create separation from Israel, it will help our relations in the Islamic world." Trump, too, casts Obama as disloyal. "Radical Islamic terrorism," the GOP front-runner complained in his speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition. "We have a president who refuses to use the term. He refuses to say it. There's something going on with him that we don't know about."
In a question-and-answer session at the RJC, Trump was asked whether Clinton was "a friend of Israel." He replied that she "doesn't have the strength" to help the Jewish state. Israel is up against "dirty fighters," Trump explained. To defeat that enemy, he argued, "We need tough. We need Gen. George Patton. We need Gen. MacArthur." He praised Patton as a "vicious, horrible, brilliant" general and pledged to "knock the crap out of" the enemy. When tribalism is your only guide, reluctance to use extreme measures is weakness.
Clinton, in her speech to AIPAC, offered a different approach. She described a U.S.-Israeli friendship based on "shared democratic values," not kinship. "We are both nations built by immigrants and exiles seeking to live and worship in freedom—nations built on principles of equality, tolerance, and pluralism," she argued. Clinton cited Israel's free-wheeling political debates and its gay pride parade. She concluded: "Let's defend the shared values that already make America and Israel great."
In a shared-values framework, foreign peoples and faith traditions aren't necessarily your enemies. They can be objects of empathy. Clinton drew an analogy between Trump's proposed ban on Muslims and an infamous U.S. exclusion of Jewish refugees: "We remember the nearly 1,000 Jews aboard the St. Louis who were refused entry in 1939 and sent back to Europe. … If you see bigotry, oppose it. If you see violence, condemn it. If you see a bully, stand up to him."
In a shared-values framework, everyone, including you and your cultural brother, has to meet moral standards. "Today, Americans and Israelis face currents of intolerance and extremism that threaten the moral foundations of our societies," Clinton warned. Without using Trump's name, she condemned his behavior: "encouraging violence, playing coy with white supremacists, calling for 12 million immigrants to be rounded up and deported, demanding we turn away refugees because of their religion, and proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the United States."
The values approach requires tough love. If we support Israel for its democracy, not for its Judaism, we have to speak up when it threatens to become undemocratic. A two-state solution is "the only way to guarantee Israel's long-term survival as a strong Jewish and democratic state," Clinton told AIPAC. To facilitate peace, she added, "Everyone has to do their part by avoiding damaging actions, including with respect to settlements." She portrayed outreach to the Palestinians as strength, not weakness: "America needs an Israel strong enough to deter and defend against its enemies, strong enough to work with us to tackle shared challenges, and strong enough to take bold steps in the pursuit of peace."
The argument against a foreign policy of shared values is that it can blind you to personal loyalty and the importance of alliances. That's what Trump, in his remarks to AIPAC, said of Obama: "He constantly applies pressure to our friends and rewards our enemies." But a foreign policy of tribalism carries a more insidious risk: The real enemy is barbarism, and it can infiltrate your soul.
Trump is a chilling illustration of this corruption. He says we should relax our human rights protections and military ethics "so that we can better compete with a vicious group of animals." He advocates retributive torture and the deliberate targeting of family members of terrorists. To defeat religious conflict, he would ban a particular religion. To punish protesters at his rallies, he encourages violence against them.
The barbarism infection has spread well beyond Trump. At AIPAC, he denounced Iran for "offering Palestinians $7,000 per terror attack and $30,000 for every Palestinian terrorist's home that's been destroyed—a deplorable, deplorable situation." Thousands of well-dressed people applauded this line, apparently oblivious to—or untroubled by—the distinction between subsidizing terrorism and compensating families whose homes are destroyed by Israel when a family member is arrested on a terrorism charge. Israel's demolition policy is explicitly based on collective punishment: the idea that a potential terrorist "should know that his criminal acts will not only hurt him, but are apt to cause great suffering to his family." It is Trumpism in practice.
In France, Belgium, Israel, and California, you can see the war of tribes: Muslim terrorists are targeting and killing non-Muslim Westerners. But you can also see the war of values: Some of us are choosing Clinton's ethics, and some are choosing Trump's. Look at the survey of Israelis released by the Pew Research Center two weeks ago. More than three-quarters of Israel's religious and ultra-Orthodox Jews believe that halakha, the Jewish counterpart to Sharia, should be state law. Three-quarters believe that if halakha conflicts with "democratic principles," the country should choose halakha. Nearly two-thirds believe that "Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel."
Polls taken in Israel by the Israel Democracy Institute show how tribalism has eroded Jewish values. Thirty-six percent of Israeli Jews, including a majority of Jews who vote for the two major ultra-Orthodox parties, agree that "the interrogation of Jews suspected of terror attacks should be done with less harsh methods than those used in interrogating Palestinians suspected of terror attacks." Thirty percent, including most Jews who vote for the ultra-Orthodox parties, agree that "the punishment the court imposes on Jews found guilty of terror attacks against Palestinians should be lighter than the punishment it imposes on Palestinians found guilty of terror attacks against Jews." Eighty percent of Israeli Jews agree that "the home of the family of a Palestinian who has murdered Jews for nationalistic reasons should be destroyed," but only 41 percent agree that "the home of the family of a Jew who has murdered Palestinians for nationalistic reasons should be destroyed." Fifty-three percent affirm that "any Palestinian who has perpetrated a terror attack against Jews should be killed on the spot, even if he has been apprehended and no longer poses a threat."
This erosion of values isn't a Jewish disease, any more than terrorism is inherently a Muslim disease. It can happen to any of us. Israel simply faces more terrorism than the United States does, and therefore greater pressure on its morals and laws. It's a warning of where we're headed. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll taken a little more than a year ago, 58 percent of Americans said that "torture of suspected terrorists" was often or sometimes justified. One of every three conservative Republicans said torture was often justified. And in an ABC/Post poll taken earlier this month, one-third of Americans, including a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters, endorsed "a ban on Muslims entering the United States."
To protect your values, you have to remember why your allies are your allies. "America can't ever be neutral when it comes to Israel's security or survival," Clinton told AIPAC. "We can't be neutral when rockets rain down on residential neighborhoods, when civilians are stabbed in the street, when suicide bombers target the innocent." Ultimately, that's not a commitment to Israel. It's a commitment to the principle of innocence. Israel has to live up to that principle, and so do we.
The problem with Trump, Clinton explained, is that he thinks "everything's negotiable." She's right about that. But Trump's flaw isn't an indifference to Israel. It's an indifference to rules. Toward the end of her remarks, Clinton quoted Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel: "Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim." That kind of neutrality—moral neutrality—is the most dangerous of all. "Let us never be neutral or silent in the face of bigotry," she concluded.
It's hard to remember that warning as we watch the carnage in Brussels. So Clinton, in a statement on Tuesday morning, repeated it. "These terrorists seek to undermine the democratic values that are the foundation of our alliance and our way of life," she declared. "But they will never succeed." Unless we surrender.

Auguste Louise of Württemberg-Oels (21 January 1698 - 4 January 1739), was a Duchess of Württemberg-Oels by birth and by marriage Duchess of Saxe-Weissenfels-Barby.

Born in Bernstadt (now called Bierutów), the capital of the Duchy of Bernstadt in Silesia, she was the only child of Duke Christian Ulrich I of Württemberg-Oels and his third wife, Sophie Wilhelmine, a daughter of Enno Louis, Prince of East Frisia.

Her mother died fourteen days after her birth (4 February 1698), probably from childbirth complications. From her father's two previous marriages, Auguste Louise had fourteen older half-siblings, of whom only four survive adulthood: Louise Elisabeth (by marriage Duchess of Saxe-Merseburg-Lauchstädt), Sophie Angelika (by marriage Duchess of Saxe-Zeitz-Pegau-Neustadt) -both born from Christian Ulrich I's first marriage with Anna Elisabeth of Anhalt-Bernburg-, Charles Frederick II, Duke of Württemberg-Oels and Christian Ulrich II, Duke of Württemberg-Wilhelminenort -both born from Christian Ulrich I's second marriage with Sibylle Maria of Saxe-Merseburg-.

Life
In Forst on 18 February 1721, Auguste Louise married George Albert, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Weissenfels-Barby. Only eight years later, in 1728, George Albert inherited the paternal domains.

The union, complete unhappy and childless, ended in divorce in 1732. Auguste Louise retired to Skarsine Castle in Silesia, where she died aged 40, and five months before her former husband. She was buried in the Schloss Stadtkirche St.Johannis, Oels.

The photos of the journey were a touching moment for the people meeting in Wangen, because it became clear what it is that makes working together worthwhile. Stefan Kürbis, responsible for sustainability at WOM, met company representatives from B. Braun, Salesforce, Hertha BSC and Volksbank Allgäu Oberschwaben. Additional partners are to join the currently four CSR partners of BigShoe – optimally until a total of eleven companies make a whole team. Not only are funds needed for the operations (performed by the doctors on a voluntary basis), but also the costs for (lean) administration must be ensured.
On the one hand, WOM as a company and a reliable partner for the past four years supports the continued collaboration with the charity and on the other hand there are many employee initiatives that yield additional resources.
Impressions from the evening in Wangen and the visit to South Africa are provided by the video.

He took him outside and said, 'Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.' Then He said to him, 'So shall your offspring be.' Abram believed the Lord, and He credited it to him as righteousness.
This is now the fourth time that God has revealed Himself to Abram. God is developing this man as He reveals Himself, His purposes, and His ways to him.
God has now established a track record in Abram's life. We see Abram's growth in verse six: "Abram believed the Lord, and He (God) credited it to him as righteousness." As a result of Abram's faith, he found right standing with God.
In the same way, God works in our lives to reveal Himself, His purposes, and His ways. As we get to know Him more intimately, we recognize His track record in our lives. This encourages us to trust Him even more.
Throughout my Christian experience, God has continually revealed Himself as the One who protects and blesses His spiritual offspring. Faith in the Person and Works of Christ is how we are reconciled to God. God declares the sinner righteous by simply trusting in Christ. Just like Abram, we are reconciled to God by faith and live each day by faith in the One who protects and blesses.
Has there ever been a time in your life where you knowingly trusted in the person and work of Christ for your eternal salvation? If not, why not?
As you recall God's track record in your life, how can this help you when you find yourself experiencing a crisis of belief?

Body weight is controlled in large part by communication between the brain and peripheral metabolic tissues, including white and brown adipose tissue, via the sympathetic nervous system to regulate energy expenditure and lipolysis. Pharmacotherapeutic intervention to reduce adiposity, however, has been relatively unsuccessful. We have identified the neurotrophin-inducible neuronal protein VGF (non-acronymic), and one of its processed C-terminal peptides TLQP-21, as central and peripheral regulators of energy expenditure and lipolysis. TLQP-21 activates the Complement C3a Receptor 1 (C3aR1), an integral component of the innate immune system, and in adipocytes, enhances lipolysis mediated by the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol. Mice with VGF ablated in the adult ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) and arcuate (ARC) have increased adiposity and decreased energy expenditure, a phenotype that is consistent with a key physiological role for TLQP-21 in the adult CNS, one that is also congruent with many actions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hypothalamus. Utilizing floxed (lox-p flanked) VGF and C3aR1 mouse models together with established transgenic Cre-driver lines and targeted AAV-Cre administration, we will test the hypothesis that in adults, VGF and its peptides, particularly TLQP-21, regulate energy expenditure, lipolysis, and glucose homeostasis via central modulation of sympathetic outflow from the VMH and paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH), which receives extensive VGF-containing projections from ARC/VMH, and provides essential BDNF- and VGF-containing sympathetic outflow pathways to brown adipose tissue (BAT). Two specific aims are proposed. Aim 1 will probe the roles of VGF in the CNS pathways that originate in the PVH and VMH, which can be activated by `designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs' (DREADD), and regulate energy expenditure, glucose metabolism and lipolysis via sympathetic outflow from hypothalamus. Aim 2 will define the site(s) of action and function(s) of the pivotal VGF-derived peptide TLQP-21, determining whether its actions in the adult CNS are dependent on C3aR1 that is expressed on neurons, microglia, and/or astrocytes. The complementary research expertise of the PIs will be essential for successful completion of our aims, providing fundamental insight into the mechanisms by which VGF, its peptide TLQP-21, and the TLQP-21 receptor C3aR1, contribute to hypothalamic-sympathetic circuits that control energy and glucose homeostasis, potentially identifying promising new drug targets for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.

Students in SUNY Cobleskill's Sustainable Crop Production Program play a fundamental and continuously-advancing role in the food system: taking thousands of years of agriculture and implementing sustainable practices. In learning to do so, their education combines soil and plant sciences, chemistry, biology, and the social sciences.
In the Sustainable Crop Production Program, the only of its kind in the SUNY system, students develop an understanding of the three legs of sustainable agriculture and apply them to crop production. Economic, environmental, and community factors equally support sustainable agriculture, meaning sustainability becomes impractical when any one factor becomes compromised. An education in sustainable crop production is as important to those with entrepreneurial mindsets as it is to those growing crops at home.
Education is one facet of sustainable crop production; applying knowledge is another. Along with adjunct Professor of Plant Science, Christine O'Dell, Dr. Grace Armah-Agyeman, of the Sustainable Crop Production Program, is cultivating an entirely-organic plot. The organic certification process takes a minimum of three years for plots previously used to grow crops conventionally; the project, started in July, is in its initial stages.
This fall, the two professors guided a student in an independent research project, planting winter "cover crops" to enrich nutrients in the soil. The team will till the cover crops back into the soil, creating an organic fertilizer, or "green manure." The trio planted an edible garden and will later plant "trap crops" to divert pests from the "economic crops" they plan to harvest. Each technique is a basic practice of sustainable crop production. No matter the size of the agriculture, there is always room for increased sustainability.

After Hours Oral Pleasure Cumming to Campus
University tries to satisfy students with more eating out.
The University of Otago is seeking to revamp and extend its campus food and beverage offerings, with a specific focus on increasing availability and atmosphere outside of typical study hours.
A tender has been put out to consultants to provide a "campus wide food, beverage, and retail strategy. The aim of which is to maximize the relevance of services, excellent customer experience and surplus returned." This plan would potentially include leasing outlets to different providers, including branded fast food chains, though special effort will be made to develop offerings which do not subtract from businesses in the immediate surrounding area that rely heavily on the student market (so don't expect to see any more sushi shops popping up).
It is hoped that new and more vibrant dining outlets could create more of an atmosphere on campus after five o'clock, an issue that was identified in the 2010 Campus Master Plan, "At present the sense of life and activity on campus is restricted primarily to times at which classes are being held, which means the campus is substantially "dark" at night, at weekends, throughout semester breaks and end-of-year holidays." Contractors who apply to tender have been asked to come up with a solution for this. The plan goes on to say, "One way of addressing this is to increase the retail and other services available on campus to stimulate its public use and enjoyment, and strengthen the desired sense of campus community. It would also assist security by increasing activity and passive surveillance."
The university did raise some concerns about the proposal for more after dark atmosphere, with some saying it would decrease the esteemed regard in which a university should be held, saying that it was a "question of propriety and the desired 'character' of the campus – august institution or vibrant community?"
Companies submitting to tender have been asked to make their submissions by 22 May, at which point the campus's retail future will become clearer.

A third of fruit and vegetable crops too ugly to sell
by University of Edinburgh
More than one-third of farmed fruit and vegetables never reaches supermarket shelves because it is misshapen or the wrong size, research suggests.
More than 50 million tonnes of fruit and vegetables grown across Europe are discarded each year, largely because they do not meet supermarkets and consumers' standards of how they should look, the study showed.
The climate change impact of growing the wasted food – some of which may be ploughed back into fields, used in animal feed or otherwise reused – is equivalent to the carbon emissions of almost 400,000 cars.
Farm losses
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh examined details of food loss and waste within the European Economic Area.
They studied how much food is discarded each year before it reaches the point of being sold.
They found that strict government regulations, supermarkets' high standards and consumers' expectations of how fruit and vegetables should look in combination led to the loss of more than one-third of produce before the point of sale.
Farmers who are contracted to supermarkets typically grow more food than they are obliged to supply, to allow for a proportion that will not be deemed fit to sell.
Consumer habits
Scientists suggest that greater awareness among consumers, and a movement towards shopping sustainably, could encourage the sale of more ugly vegetables.
They also suggest a greater use of misshapen produce, for example in chopped, processed or picked goods, or for sale at a discount to charities.
The study is published in the Journal of Cleaner Production.
"The scale of food that is wasted when it is perfectly safe to eat is shocking at a time when one-tenth of the world's population is perpetually underfed," says Professor David Reay
"Encouraging people to be less picky about how their fruit and vegetables look could go a long way to cutting waste, reducing the impact of food production on the climate, and easing the food supply chain," says Stephen Porter.
EU households waste over 17 billion kg of fresh fruit and vegetables a year
