WiggleDoodle: What Reader Species Are You?
Hi everyone! I would like to share with you what I found on the Internet a while ago. Laura E. Kelly developed an infographic that shows classifications of book readers based on their habits and practices. It follows the Linnaean classification charts of living things, you know the domain, class, family, genus, species sort of thing for plants and animals. I had fun using it that's why I also want you to check out what species of book reader you really are. I am what she calls a "cross-species mutt."

Women were first allowed to enroll in the US Marines (for clerical duty) in 1918. Over 300 of them entered the Corps that year, and they were immediately nicknamed the "Marinettes."
Today women comprise around 7% of the Marine Corps and serve in 93% of its occupational fields. Very recently, three women made history by passing the combat endurance test required for Corps officer screening, and the Marine Corps has opened up an experimental task force with 25% female soldiers to evaluate future possibilities for women in ground combat.

Music Together With Gretchen
Music Classes for Toddlers
Meet Gretchen O'Sullivan
I'm excited to share the joy of music with children and families in Nolensville!
I grew up in the Southern California seaside community of Goleta, just north of Santa Barbara. Music education was very important to my parents so they made sure that all of their (5) children played at least one instrument. I started piano lessons at five years old and then switched to violin when I was nine. While playing in pit orchestras for musicals, I found myself feeling drawn to stage performance and started taking voice lessons. After studying music at California State University at Northridge I pursued a career in acting and musical theater.
My pursuit led me to many different endeavors such as being a Dickens Caroler at Disneyland to singing and playing violin in a band that became a popular attraction on the '90's Los Angeles club circuit. Music has always been in my life and I'm excited to impart my love of it through teaching Music Together®!
Like all Music Together teachers I have successfully completed the live Teacher Training, which is built on research in early childhood and music development. We keep our skills fresh through workshops every semester and advanced trainings offered by Music Together Worldwide. I've also completed further studies provided by the Center for Music and Young children in Princeton, NJ, and was awarded certification level 1, which is Music Together's status for outstanding achievement in teaching, musicianship, program philosophy and parent education.

The film stars Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa / Black Panther, alongside Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis.
Typically, Hollywood movies show a dip in their first week to second week collections. So far, the movie has made $704 million in total globally ($400 million domestically and $304 million internationally) since its release earlier this month.
The Ryan Coogler movie crossed the $100 million mark in the second weekend at the box office which was done only by three other movies in the past: Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($149.2 million), Jurassic World ($106.6 million), and The Avengers ($103 million). This points towards an extraordinary acceptance by audiences.
Take EVERYTHING together - the worldwide numbers as well as the $400+ million from North America in just over ten days - and Black Panther has already tallied $704 million in total! It's all but guaranteed considering the film has yet to open in China and Japan.
"This movie has very strong word of mouth and a deeply loyal core fan base, which are both necessary criteria for repeat business", said Greg Foster, entertainment chief of IMAX which is playing Black Panther in more than 60 countries.
Revealing worldwide collection numbers, Deadline reports that Black Panther has surpassed $300 million in the global market with $83.8 million coming from the second-weekend box office collection. For the second week in a row, the Marvel comic book flick is the No. 1 movie in the world and is still breaking records. It follows a group of friends whose game night turns into a murder mystery. The movie, facing a strained marketplace for comedies, opened to a solid $17 million from 3,488 locations, earning the No. 2 spot for the weekend.
Fifty Shades Freed round out the top five with $6.9 million.

Coral reefs struggling in a human dominated world
A new study reveals that proper management of coral reefs can help achieve the multiple goals needed to sustain these ecosystems but management effectiveness is dependant on the reef's location.
An international team of researchers, including Dr Maria Beger from the University of Leeds, assessed roughly 1,800 tropical reefs from 41 countries across the globe to understand whether no-fishing marine reserves and other fisheries restrictions are helping to achieve multiple management goals.
The study, led by Professor Josh Cinner from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University, found that only five percent of the reefs surveyed were simultaneously able to meet the combined goals of providing enough fishing stocks, maintaining biodiversity and a working ecosystem.
Coral reefs are facing intense degradation due to overfishing, pollution, and climate change. In addition to being the only home for a large number of marine species, the livelihoods of many people and communities depend on these ecosystems.
Effective conservation of these mega-diverse ecosystems requires aiming for multiple goals which apply to multiple species.

By examining the fish communities in the reefs – the team were able to assess whether the reef's protections were achieving biodiversity, fisheries, and ecosystem function goals.
Their findings, published in Science, show that there is evidence that no-fishing marine reserves and other fisheries restrictions can help reefs meet conservation goals, but only if the management efforts were in the right locations.
A reef's proximity to people and markets had a significant impact on whether any conservation goals were being achieved, particularly for biodiversity and fisheries goals.
Heavily used reefs located near human communities and markets, fell considerably shorter of conservation goals compared to more remote reefs, despite protection measures and local management.
Dr Beger from the Faculty of Biological Sciences, said: "Even limited benefits that come from no-fishing marine reserves and other fisheries restrictions are worth it. While they may not be fully achieving the desired multiple goals, they will slow and potentially halt the decline of reef ecosystems.
"None of the conservation goals can be achieved without immediate, substantial, and broad-scale investments into management of coral reefs though, and wide-spread reduction of use of reef resources.
"Reef health is tightly linked to human populations and their dependence on reef resources. Conserving reefs is as much about addressing poverty and human attitudes as it is about colourful fishes."
Professor Cinner said: "The study not only has important implications for the placement of new marine reserves, but is also relevant to future socioeconomic changes, such as how infrastructure development and population growth may impact the efficacy of reef conservation.
"We show where managers will be able to maximise multiple goals, and likewise, where they will be wasting their time."

Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery - How do they compare?
I have often been asked by readers for more in-depth information on what I think of Keyword Discovery compared to Wordtracker. As you know, I have mainly focused on sharing my expertise in Keyword Forensics and have written two e-books on how to make the best use of Wordtracker for researching behaviors. One of the reasons I have not talked more about Keyword Discovery is because it is a rather completely different system, with different KEI values and frankly, I have not wanted to mix the two. But in fairness to our readers, I think it is an honest question and it deserves to be addressed.
No tool is perfect. While I have personally leaned on Wordtracker for years from the beginning because of it's behavioral research aspects, each keyword research tool has it's own strengths. As a starting point, before I get into any further in depth on any teaching, I think the best thing to do is give you some strengths and weaknesses of both and that will help you make your own informed decisions.
Here is a simple matrix that identifies the strengths of each program. This is based on my own personal experience and primarily where search engine optimization is involved.
Wordtracker.com KeywordDiscovery.com Which Has The Clear Advantage?
WT has the ability to tap into hidden evidence of user search to find the phrases that "tell a story." Fascinating and very powerful way to quickly mine great data.
KD does not have the same advantage with respect to this type of research. You can find great data, but not the same behaviorally related detail that without doing some digging.
Keyword effectiveness index indicates the probable effectiveness of a phrase based on a unit of measurement.
Higher the number the better.
Keyword effectiveness index in KD works fine as well but is based on a completely different scale of 1 to 10.
a report of the top 20 million most searched phrases for about $54,000US.
and 20 million in size.
Keyword Discovery also offers Top Keyword Search Term reports of 10,000 for $99.95 which is a little more money.
Keyword Discovery also will sell you very focused lists that they call "Exhaustive Lists of keywords."
I have to hand it to keyword discovery here. for excellent reports!
Wordtracker allows you to create unlimited Projects can be copied, deleted, renamed, added to, deleted from and exported.
Keyword Discovery search results can be organized and saved into projects. Projects can be copied, deleted, renamed, added to, deleted from and exported.
Wordtracker has a database of approximately 300 to 350 million queries within the last 100 days. Wordtracker Data comes from the Metacrawlers.
Excellence! More data is not always better, but this is impressive.
Wordtracker has the short term top 1000 report showing top words within the last 24 hours.
The long term Top 1000 report shows data from the last 90 days approximately.
Keyword Discovery also has the advantages of the news database which contains searches performed at major news sites and news portals. Great research for SEO involving PR.
Wordtracker's Full Search feature provides a collection of popular related search terms for any keyword, helping you find semantically related terms.
Keyword Discovery has a related search feature provides a collection of popular related search terms for any keyword, helping you broaden your keyword range.
Industry Keywords is a tool that tracks the most popular search terms that drive actual traffic to sites in any selected industry. This data enables you to compare the keywords you are currently getting traffic for, with that of your industry competitors.
The above table highlights only some of the differences between the two research tools Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery and is hardly meant to be an exhaustive list of comparisons. To see a full feature list of all features in Keyword Discovery, please check out their page of 28 different Keyword Discovery features here.

While I have written multiple articles on how to use Wordtracker effectively, you need to be aware of some of the powerful features that Keyword Discovery offers too. The purpose of this article is not to say one is better than the other. But depending on your specific needs, you should be aware of all of the available options there are out there and choose what works best for you. I highly recommend both of these tools and services to all SEO professionals and Webmasters who want access to great data. I will share more information on these subjects in the future.


At Manoverboard, we know how important a website is in promoting the core values of any business. Below are four key (and very basic) tenants to keep in mind.
It all begins with a good design. A clean interfaces that is easy to navigate will help visitors to your site better understand the story you want to tell. A site's message should be boiled down to let stakeholders know that your work and your purpose is serious. The website should work across all devices from phones to tablets to desktops. And it should not feature "mystery meat", which is content or features that no one quite knows what to do with. No matter what, the key goal of your website should be to help people connect with your business. Be accessible. Provide contact information easily. Use emails and forms to help stakeholders easily get in touch and stay in touch.
Be bold about what matters. Companies often bury their CSR initiatives under the ubiquitous "About Us" tab. Why not be bold? A 2014 study by the Reputation Institute stated that "Despite the growing interest in CSR among global stakeholders, most firms still struggle to find the best way of communicating with the general public on the topic of CSR." Showcase your social and environment initiatives on your blog and on your homepage. Not all business are engaged in doing good in the world. If you are, be proud of the accomplishments as well as the frustrations your organization has faced. Give your initiatives and challenges the recognition they deserve.
Create community. It is not enough to just tell your story. You also need to engage people with specific content on your site. Give them more reasons to connect with your business and feel part of a larger purpose. One of the top rated companies in the Reputation Institute's CSR RETRAK study was Microsoft, which one might not typically think of as a socially responsible business. Recently, the largest image on the homepage is dedicated to a CSR campaign "Upgrade Your World" which encourages visitors to vote for their favourite cause and provides resources for non-profits. It is a flagship entry point to their site and demonstrates Microsoft's commitment to making a difference in the world.
Be relevant, timely and useful. A website should not only convey the values behind your brand, but it should also engage stakeholders with information that is relevant, timely, and useful. When visitors come to a site, they want to learn more about a company and their commitment to CSR. The Reputation Institute found that "42% of how people feel about a company is based on their perceptions of the firm's corporate social responsibility (CSR)." It underscores how stakeholders are assessing companies. A well-developed and communicated CSR program gives companies an edge over the competition.
If you would like help or guidance in leveraging your CSR activities for the greater good, please give us a call. As a Certified B Corporation, Manoverboard specializes in helping companies and organizations use their websites as a force for positive change.


Your DNA guides the plot for the story of you. And among the many important spoilers it contains is whether you are likely to contract certain diseases—things like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and celiac. On Thursday, the FDA approved genetic testing company 23andMe to sell customers foreshadowing about their susceptibility to these, and seven other heritable genetic traits.
That's a huge win for the company, which originally billed itself as a pioneer in quantified health care. However, the FDA curtailed the company's ambitions three years ago when it shut down 23andMe's health information services. The feds didn't think 23andMe's information was clear or complete enough for consumers. People could misinterpret the results and seek out treatment they didn't need, for example. Since then, the company had scaled back its ambitions to providing mostly hereditary data—including a social media component to connect you with long lost family who also took the test. This week's decision puts 23andMe closer to its original mission. But getting there took work, not just in making more accurate tests, but figuring out better ways to share the results.
Back when 23andMe started in the late 2000s, the company, "really did not understand that this might be FDA regulated," says Kathy Hibbs, 23andMe's chief legal and regulatory officer. As 23andMe's service grew to include more and more information about things like migraines or Alzheimer's risk, the feds piled on more and more pressure. The company tried to work with the FDA, but ultimately received a curtailment letter in November 2013.
Hibbs joined 23andMe a few months later, in early 2014, and has since then been a force in the company's huge effort to win back the FDA's approval. However, the feds typically base these rulings off precedent—and 23andMe's services were basically unprecedented. Without a recipe for what kind of data they would need in order to approve the company's services, 23andMe and the FDA would just have to figure it out as they went along.
One of the bigger challenges was making DNA test results comprehensible to the average person. "People aren't good at making sense of probability" says Steven Heine, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia who studies the ways humans think about genetics (but not with 23andMe). If someone sees a high risk result, like a 95 percent chance of contracting a disease, they tend to round up and assume they have that disease, even though one in twenty people don't. If the risk is a middle number like 30 or 60 percent, it's hard to know what to think.
To solve this problem, a plethora of 23andMe scientists—a task force including geneticists, biostatisticians, study design experts, a genetic counselor, and a medical doctor—iterated through versions with focus groups. That means large studies across demographic groups including people of different ages, ethnicities, education levels, and genders. They repeated these multiple times, finally landing on test labels and statistical reports understandable to 90 percent of the people they tested.
The labeling challenge is similar to that for at-home HIV tests. But while those tests do carry the risk of a false-negative, the result is usually more clear-cut than a test for genetic information. A person can positively have a given genetic mutation but never get the disease. And some diseases with a genetic component have nuanced risk profiles, complicated by mutations in other genes, epigenetic fluctuations, or environmental factors like diet or exposure to certain chemicals. 23andMe had to fine-tune the reports for each of the ten diseases separately to make sure that the subtleties of disease risk for each were easy to understand.
The problem with those early numbers is they were aggregations based on multiple weakly disease-associated genetic mutations. The newer tests only examines genes with really strong associations. Heine, whose soon-to-be published book DNA Is Not Destiny: The Remarkable, Completely Misunderstood Relationship between You and Your Genes discusses these problems in relating to genetic risk, says people have a much easier time understanding these strong genetic linkages. What's more, these kinds of tests are even more scientifically-grounded.
Most of these fixes focus on mitigating overreactions. But Heine and other researchers are finding that the opposite is also true. "In general, people don't seem to be as worried as researchers imagined they would be," Heine says, though the amount of distress does correlate with how bad the news is. That said, 23andMe's new labeling does include specific language about how being anxious is normal, and advising people to speak to a doctor if they're feeling too anxious about their genetic information.
Now that 23andMe has approved lab standards for genetic testing and labeling, getting approval for additional genetic tests will be much more straightforward. And because 23andMe has one of the largest databases of human genomes in the world, they have the potential to find new genes for disease. The company may have been over-promising in the past, but as a research tool, 23andMe has a lot of promise.

When Australian Jock Palfreeman was locked up in one of the world's worst jails, Bulgaria's Sofia Central Prison, he was 21 years old. He'll be 41 when he finally leaves.
There´s a kitchen in Jock´s cell but prisoners are not allowed knives or hotplates which makes cooking very difficult.
Jock's got plenty to be angry about in the long intervening years: shocking living conditions, serious physical abuse and the events that sent him to jail. In 2007 Jock made the fateful split second decision to step in and defend two young gypsies, or Roma, who were being bashed up by 15 men in Bulgaria's capital Sofia. The men turned on him and in the ensuing scuffle, one Bulgarian man was murdered and another was seriously injured. Jock was convicted of the crimes, despite serious questions being raised about the evidence against him.
On the bottom of the bookshelf you can just make out the photo of Jock and his brother taken inside the prison a few years ago.
Standing up for the weak and vulnerable was arguably what got Jock into trouble in the first place, but being behind bars hasn't stopped him from campaigning for others' rights. In fact, that's what he spends most of his time in jail doing. He is attempting to establish a prisoners union and helps other inmates with their grievances against the system.
Jock is the only prisoner in his cell to have made his space homely. This is his corner. Note the crumbling roof.

Every day in 2013 sends a Radio Theatre play inspired by these people, what they did, how they lived. Radio theatre director Stina Oscarson hatched the idea last winter and, together with the editors designed a program format that will change everything you thought you know about radio drama.
After listening to one of the podcasts, the last sentence about changing everything you thought you know about radio drama is to me highly exaggerated, at least for me. The podcasts are very short, not even 5 minutes and only in Swedish. But never the less, the idea is worth acknowledging.
So far, I could find one Bulgarian on the list – Dimov Kazasov.
He died on the 28th of July 1980. He was a Bulgarian politician, who in 1940 wrote an open letter of protest against the pro-German government repression against the country's Jews. This led to more daring protest. He also hid Jewish refugees in his home, until he was forced to go underground.
On August 30 1958 journalist Anna Politkovskaya was born in New York. But she grows up in Moscow. During the late 1990s she wrote increasingly controversial articles about Russia's war in Tjetjenia and renews the Russian journalism. She was subjected to several assassination attempts and is shot to death in 2006.
On August 17, 2011 is the Russian lawyer and blogger Alexei Navalnyj sued for having written on his blog about the corruption scandals in Russian big corporations. Navalnyj has repeatedly been arrested during demonstrations against election fraud and sentenced to short prison terms.
On July 25, 1846 the American writer Henry David Thoreau spends in jail. He has refused to pay taxes because the money would go to finance the war against Mexico, part of which was about the right to own slaves. He explains later, its position in the essay Civil Disobedience.
On July 16, 1915 writes the American ambassador Henry Morgenthau in Constantinople, Ottoman Empire, a telegram in which he appeals to the U.S. to intervene in the ongoing genocide of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. Since the U.S. does not want to be involved he strikes alarm in the New York Times and forming a committee to help Armenians fleeing.
Bradley Manning a man who betrayed the U.S. Armed Forces. Or follow his conscience. Or their love. Or all three. On 26 May 2010 the American soldier Bradley Manning in Iraq, is arrested on charges that he have left out military secrets to WikiLeaks, including a film of a helicopter raid in Baghdad in 2007. The film shows how eleven civilians, in cold blood, is shot dead by American soldiers. Manning incarcerated and subjected to what Amnesty described as inhumane conditions.
Fyodor Dostoevsky world famous Russian author who also was a compulsive gambler, dies on February 9, 1881 in St. Petersburg. For his free-thinking and relations in radical circles. He was arrested early in the career by the Tsar's secret police and sentenced to death. He was subjected to a mock execution before being banished to prison camps in Siberia, where he remained for ten years.
I also have seen pocket calendars with a similar approach. Beside being an ordinary calender, it also give information about one person and/ event connected to every day. The calendar was done by the Swedish stately museum Forum för levande historia (The Living History Forum) On their web page there are also surveys, educational and research material, in different language, about human rights, genocides, democracy and different phobias like homo-, bi- and trance- phobias.

How did you become so bold?
I grew up on a produce farm with nine siblings. We were all very competitive for our parents love and attention. It was speak up or lose out. We also began working in the fields and at the Farmer's Market as young children. At the market, we learned how to sell and turn our customers into friends! We became experts in sales by age 13! That's a childhood of bold action.
My biggest challenge, thus far, was getting married and pregnant when I was 17, a senior in high school. Our only plan was "love!" I was the mom to four little girls at age 22. My third pregnancy was twins. We really didn't have a plan until we began seeing a counselor 10 years later. That was a turning point. We finally had the tools needed to move forward in a healthy and happy manner. There is nothing more difficult than raising children. Nothing! I was only 38 when the twins graduated from high school.
A mother is a coach! I didn't know it at the time, but they helped me become the courage coach I am today! There is no difference between you and I. Together, we can unearth your courageous self. It's never too late. The time is now.
In 2007, we finally made the move. When the economy was just beginning to go south, we decided it was "now or never." He sold his business and I transitioned from a therapist in private practice to a courage coach. We sold our house but, at the time, were unable to sell our cottage. Hubs was hired as an accountant in Arizona the night before we left. He actually got the call while we were packing the truck.
Whatever steps you take the Universe will meet you half way. We moved away from two daughters and their families. At the same time, another daughter transitioned from her teaching job to working as a flight attendant.
This meant, as her parents, we can fly free, anywhere Southwest flies! Since then, Southwest bought Air Tran and now we can fly to those destinations as well. We continue to go back to Michigan several times a year. For us, our family and grandchildren trump new adventures.
Don't wait until your stars line up or the economy gets better. Our cottage just sold in August 2012. I'm so thankful we didn't wait. Dream, plan and act today! You have the power. In 30 Days of Bold you'll get the support and the map to uncover it and use it.
The worst fear is one of feeling unloved and separate. All human beings have three things in common. We all want to give love, receive love and know that we matter. Once we live with an open heart and give and receive love freely, it's impossible not to feel connected to the whole. Separation is an illusion.
Be willing take action. Make a difference and use your talent and gifts to make the world a better place. Things will go wrong. So what? You'll make mistakes. So what? You will be rejected. So what?
A favorite quote on fear: I have accepted fear as a part of life – specifically the fear of change…. I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back. ~Erica Jong 30 Days of Bold offers you the safety and support of a loving community. You don't have to go it alone.
What inspires you to continue even when things get tough?
My family, friend, and The Bold Life tribe keep me inspired. I think it's an exciting time to be alive. We can all help co-create a new world. I think the old ways are crumbling because they don't work. Some would rather stay in their comfort zone, with the old, than venture out and discover the new. To move forward in faith and think that the best is yet to come takes courage. To know that I have the ability to share my gifts and talents, and that there is a need for them that nobody else can fulfill…that's what inspires me.
I'm only getting started! This course is the culmination of everything I've learned. For those of you who want to know how I did it, this course is for you! Begin today, with one small step in the right direction, and the tools to make new choices that support you in transcending your dreams.
Tell us about a difficult time and how you overcame your fear?
My daughter Kristy was born without a right hand. I was afraid for her. I knew life would be difficult at times and of course you want to save your kids from pain. I pushed her to do things she didn't think she could. She also was determined to do what her sisters did.
Kristy learned how to play sports using her stub. She played basketball and soccer. She went on to the University of Chicago and played there for two years as well, before she reached her limits. Now she runs marathons, participates in triathlons and works for an athletic shoe company.
I didn't let Kristy off the hook. Didn't let her make excuses. She used to say when she was a little girl, "I can't do the dishes because I only have one hand." I'd reply, "Oh yes you can, it will just take you longer." The way I overcame all my fears around my parenting and marriage was one step at a time.
Thank you for your amazing words here Tess!

17 March 2021 – On Our Own by Lime Cordiale
March 17, 2021 kevinisabastard
"I don't know how we're finally on our own now, baby
I just don't care, I'll always want you here now, baby"
Lime Cordiale will always be my band of 2020. I absolutely adore them and On Our Own is such a great example of all that's good about them. There's cheeky chappy, there's a sadness, there's a song along as loud as you can. They remind me of Squeeze a bit I think and Squeeze have a very nostalgic happy place in my mind.
"Nobody can pull us off the floor now
You lock the bedroom door, pants down"
I love this song and I played it about a millions times last year. It's kinda worrying how much I depended on being obsessed with Lime Cordiale and On Our Own in particular in the first lockdown, but being obsessed with a band, a song and then an album was a welcome distraction.
You can listen to On Our Own by Lime Cordiale here.

The globalist plan to incrementally merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a North American Union has been ongoing for years. While at times, the agenda appears to have seemingly stalled, current efforts to expand the trilateral partnership show that it is alive and once again gaining steam. With NAFTA as the foundation, the renewed push for deeper North American integration continues on many different fronts.
The fourth annual North American Competitiveness and Innovation Conference (NACIC) was held at the end of October and brought together government officials, policy experts and business leaders from all three countries. Among the attendees were U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, Canada's Minister of International Trade Edward Fast and Mexico's Secretary of Economy Ildefonso Guajardo Villarreal. In a joint statement, they pledged to enhance trade and to deepen their economic relationship through the development and advancement of a North American competitiveness work plan. Minister Fast pointed to more trilateral cooperation as key to increasing competitiveness. In a speech given before attending the NACIC, Secretary Pritzker also discussed the opportunity to upgrade NAFTA through the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which she described as the next chapter in North American economic integration.
Earlier this month, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a possible candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination visited Canada, where he discussed energy and trade issues. During a speech at the Calgary Petroleum Club, he called for approval the Keystone XL pipeline, which would link Canada's oil sands to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. Christie stressed that delays have hurt Canada-U.S. relations. He also explained that, "Keystone is perhaps the most visible pending energy project on our continent, but it is far from the only one. As a general matter, we need to reduce regulatory uncertainty and increase the speed and transparency of the American project approval process." This ties into H.R.3301 - the North American Energy Infrastructure Act, which is designed to streamline the cross-border permit process and prevent long delays to projects like the Keystone XL. In the end, if President Barack Obama does reject the Keystone pipeline, some have warned that Canada could challenge the decision as a breach of NAFTA's principles.
As part of his speech, Governor Christie further highlighted the North American partnership and noted that, "the Council on Foreign Relations released a new report of a task force headed by General David Petraeus and my friend Bob Zoellick, former President of the World Bank. The report talks about how focusing on and strengthening the relationship between the U.S. and Canada --- and Mexico - can increase our competitiveness and our mutual influence in the world. I couldn't agree more." He went on to say, "In the last few years, the leadership of the United States government has not always placed sufficient priority on North America. This is a mistake and a missed opportunity." Christie's message was similar to the one he delivered in Mexico back in September, where he promoted North American energy cooperation and emphasized how U.S. foreign policy should focus on its neighbours first.
A New York Times article also shed more light on the strategy behind the New Jersey governor's trips to Mexico and Canada. They reported that, "Mr. Christie, who has limited experience in international affairs, is fashioning a foreign policy that is heavily grounded in North America, which he views as an overlooked domain in an era of international threats to the United States. It is an approach shaped heavily by informal advisers, including Robert B. Zoellick, the former United States trade representative under President George W. Bush, who said in an recent interview that he has encouraged Mr. Christie to think about the continental base." Zoellick is the co-chair of the CFR Task Force report and has urged 2016 presidential candidates to make North America a part of their foreign policy platform. In Christie, the CFR has found at least one potential candidate who is ready to champion for deeper North American integration.
In many ways, the conditions needed to further advance North American integration are more favourable than they've been in years, with recent changes presenting new opportunities. Whether it be an economic or security crisis, political instability or social unrest, the global elite will use any means necessary to move their agenda forward. Ultimately, the North American Union incremental steps of erasing continental borders, abolishing national sovereignty and consolidating power and wealth are part of a much larger plan to establish a one world economic system.


Part of the joy in sifting through archived papers of my family and my own, is coming upon treasures not seen for many years. I was delighted when I uncovered this letter written in calligraphy from Joan Baez. When I was about 11 or 12, my neighbor friend -- an older teenage girl named Eddie, had been studying calligraphy and was quite good at it. I asked her to help me write a short letter to Joan Baez who I admired so very much. Eddie penned a beautiful and short letter in calligraphy, we sent it off, and forgot about it. Then two month's later, this letter arrived with a simple "Thank You" penned in a beautiful hand and signed by Joan Baez. Awesome, right. I was thrilled then, and still am when I see it now.

FIRE > Newsdesk > Top Story > Kenyon students organize to change speech culture on campus
A defaced poster for the publication "Campus Constitutional" at Kenyon College.
Kenyon students organize to change speech culture on campus
by FIRE Intern
"Your ideas aren't valuable. Shut up." In October 2018, someone scrawled those words, in angry red pen, across a flyer for the politically conservative publication "Campus Constitutional" at Kenyon College. The words demonstrate a mood of furious intolerance that has gained a strong hold over students' speech at Kenyon and has swept college and university campuses nationwide.
The push to contract the space for intellectual diversity and open debate threatens to freeze discussion, limit students' willingness to debate and challenge one another's ideas, and ultimately create a community in which unpopular ideas are met with intimidation and bullying. This is a culture that has forgotten the value of listening to all perspectives, a culture in which one's loyalty to particular views is more important than the search for truth.
When the editors of the Campus Constitutional released their first issue, their libertarian/conservative perspective enraged many on Kenyon's campus. But instead of dealing with their dissenting views by respectfully seeking the editors out and engaging in debate and discussion with them, too many chose to bully the staff of the publication instead. This kind of behavior escalated throughout the semester, at one point leading to the public booing of a Campus Constitutional editor simply for being present in the audience at a totally unrelated comedy event on campus.
Events such as these — the scrawled message on the poster and the booing of a Campus Constitutional editor — promote a culture of self-censorship. These kinds of tactics silence and intimidate, chilling open and civil debate. They threaten social censure and ridicule — powerful consequences for students on campus who happen to have unpopular perspectives and who exercise their right to free speech. The result at Kenyon has been an environment of homogenous thought, in which those with ideas and opinions that differ from the mainstream feel bullied into silence. This is not the kind of environment in which a healthy, intellectually curious community can thrive. Because it is cultivated by the students, students must be active in seeking change.
FIRE gives Kenyon a "yellow light" speech code rating, meaning that it has "at least one ambiguous policy that too easily encourages administrative abuse and arbitrary application," based on its written policies that regulate expression. Yet were FIRE to rate based on the campus culture regarding free speech, I would give Kenyon a "red light" rating. While its on-the-book policies do not facially condone the silencing of unpopular opinion, the atmosphere promoting self-censorship and thought-policing, especially among students, certainly does.
College faculty are helping to address this problem. At Kenyon, the faculty has contributed to open debate through events like the fall 2017 conference, "Free Speech and Civil Discourse," sponsored by the Center for the Study of American Democracy on campus. CSAD brought 15 conservative, liberal, and nonpartisan speakers to Kenyon to discuss and debate the importance of free speech and open political debate. As an article in the Kenyon Collegian put it, "This conference is an opportunity for those on all sides of the debate over freedom of speech versus political correctness to air their concerns…. The speakers will go head-to-head in panels about hate speech and the limits of free expression, political correctness and microaggressions in the academy and the definitions of a free society."
The CSAD conference was a proud time to be a Kenyonite. There was no bullying, intimidation, or verbal mud-slinging. Instead, students came to the panels prepared to listen, debate, and closely question the panelists with whom they disagreed. Through its commendable handling of this conference, Kenyon demonstrated what it means to be an intellectually curious community in which students and faculty constructively and civilly challenge and listen to each other's ideas and arguments.
College faculty and administrators can help by teaching and demonstrating the importance of intellectual curiosity on campus, but formal policy and institutional programming is not the whole answer. Students themselves must commit to encouraging civil debate and discussion and to discouraging name-calling and bullying. At Kenyon, students are now organizing such an effort, seeking to create space on campus for themselves and their fellow students to effectively communicate across difference, dissent, and polarization.
Hosting weekly meetings to "engage with diverse political viewpoints, discuss politics on campus, and learn good practices of debate," the group BridgeKenyon — new to campus in the fall of 2018 — commits itself to stimulating real discussion about the controversial issues of the day. At the very beginning of each BridgeKenyon meeting, participants read the basic facts about the topic for the day's discussion. Then they read opinion pieces about the issue to understand the best arguments on both sides. After establishing both the factual basis and the opposing stances on the issue, participants debate and discuss their thoughts.
I hope that BridgeKenyon will be the beginning of real change in the political atmosphere on campus. I hope that it will help students to see the value of truly engaging in discussion and addressing opposing arguments with counter arguments rather than insults designed to shut the other person down. If something is to be done about the campus' self-censorship culture, it will have to involve student groups like BridgeKenyon. Perhaps the most hopeful sign is that the existence of BridgeKenyon demonstrates renewed student interest in the free exchange of ideas. It suggests a yearning for real discussion in which people allow themselves to be deeply curious, open to the possibility that they might be wrong and the opposing side right, and able to engage with one another as humans, instead of political stereotypes.
We need to put aside the anger, unkindness, and violence and finally start listening to each other. As John Stuart Mill famously argued, it is impossible to truly understand one's own opinion (let alone anyone else's!) until one has thoroughly considered the views of the other side. It is openness, curiosity, debate, and civility that will save us from tyranny of the majority, disunity, and hatefulness. Organizations like BridgeKenyon are showing the way forward.

What The Potential 2020 Candidates Are Doing And Saying, Vol. 16
Apr. 26, 2019 , at 6:01 AM
By Adam Kelsey and Elizabeth Thomas
Former Vice President Joe Biden joined the 2020 presidential field Thursday, immediately becoming its front-runner on the back of near universal name recognition and polls that regularly show him capturing around 30 percent of respondent's support.
From ABC News:
Joe Biden announces 2020 presidential bid
While many of Biden's fellow Democrats openly welcomed him to the race, behind the scenes, several — including Sen. Cory Booker, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, Sen. Kamala Harris and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke — began to fundraise off of the news, showcasing an awareness that the path to the nomination just became all the more difficult.
Here's the weekly candidate roundup:
Michael Bennet (D)
The Colorado senator tweeted last Friday that he "underwent a successful surgery" to treat his prostate cancer and "requires no further treatment." Bennet previously said that he had been ready to announce a presidential run until he received the cancer diagnosis, but would still enter the race if he was ultimately declared cancer free.
Joe Biden (D)
The former vice president announced the launch of his presidential campaign Thursday after months of build up, releasing a video in which he said that "everything that makes America, America, is at stake" in the upcoming presidential election.
Biden's first television interview will take place on ABC's "The View" on Friday and then he will hit the road, making trips to Pittsburgh Monday, Iowa and South Carolina later next week, then Nevada, California and New Hampshire before mid-March.
He and his wife Dr. Jill Biden will also sit down with Robin Roberts, co-anchor of ABC's "Good Morning America," ahead of his Pittsburgh event. The interview will air on GMA Tuesday.
Biden's campaign was immediately endorsed by Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., and all three members of his home state of Delaware's congressional delegation, Sens. Tom Carper, Chris Coons and Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester.
'I asked President Obama not to endorse': Biden
Cory Booker (D)
Booker became the latest Democratic presidential candidate to release his tax returns Wednesday evening, posting 10 years' worth to his campaign website.
Though the New Jersey senator made only $152,715 in 2018 — on which he paid $29,446 in taxes and donated $24,000 to charity — he revealed himself to be relatively wealthy from years of accumulated speaking fees and royalties nearing $3 million total. The returns also showed fairly substantial charitable giving, with over $20,000 in contributions every year since 2012, including two years that topped $82,000 and $240,000, respectively.
At Wednesday's "She the People" forum in Texas, Booker again pledged to select a female running mate should he be the Democratic presidential nominee.
Pete Buttigieg (D)
Buttigieg earned his first endorsement from a member of Congress this week, with Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia releasing a statement saying that he was backing the South Bend, Indiana mayor and comparing him to former President Barack Obama.
"I endorsed Barack Obama early, having been moved by both his intelligence and his political capability. I am similarly inspired by Mayor Pete," Beyer said. "With him, I feel the promise of a new generation, and I see a way out of the darkness."
Julian Castro (D)
In an interview with The New Yorker, Castro outlined his position on immigration, which has been the centerpiece of his campaign, explaining that he doesn't believe those attempting to cross the southern border "are a national security threat" and that he found it "beautiful" "that people still see this country as a place of opportunity and safety."
Speaking with BuzzFeed News Tuesday, Castro pushed back against the idea that Congressional impeachment proceedings would backfire on Democrats, saying that it was possible for the party to "walk and chew gum at the same time" — holding Trump accountable while pitching their strengths ahead of the 2020 election.
Castro was the center of a humorous moment at Wednesday's "She the People" forum in Texas, when he revealed that the event's program featured a photo of his twin brother Rep. Joaquin Castro and joked that his brother "would say that's a good thing because he's better looking than I am."
John Delaney (D)
After President Donald Trump met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Tuesday and reports emerged that the president raised concerns about a dip in the number of his followers, Delaney called on Twitter users to unfollow Trump's account, arguing that he "cares more about his Twitter followers than the American people."
In a tweet, the former Maryland congressman said that Trump's "continued dishonesty and weaponization of social media has been divisive" and that the reduction to his follower count would "hit him where it actually hurts him… his ego."
Tulsi Gabbard (D)
The Hawaii congresswoman shared her belief that "it's time for the country to focus on the issues that matter most to Americans" in lieu of the investigation into the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia after the Mueller report revealed "no collusion."
"The conclusion that came from that Mueller report was that no collusion took place," Gabbard said on Fox News Sunday. "Now is the time for us to come together as a country to put the issues and the interests and the concerns that the American people have at the forefront, to take action to bring about real solutions for them."
In an appearance on "The View" Wednesday, Gillibrand was supportive of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats' efforts to subpoena key figures named in special counsel Robert Mueller's report, despite Trump's insistence that they should not have to testify before Congress.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand calls Mueller report 'very damning'
"The Mueller report was very damning," Gillibrand said, adding, "If President Trump takes on Nancy Pelosi over whether he's going to respond to her subpoenas, I will put my money on Nancy Pelosi every time."
During the same appearance on "The View," a day ahead of Biden's official campaign announcement, she said he's "going to have to directly answer to voters" on allegations of inappropriate touching.
Biden must answer on touching claims: Gillibrand
Kamala Harris (D)
Harris received some criticism that she was too cautious during a CNN town hall on Monday, during which she repeatedly called for "conversations" and "debate" about a number of issues, including felon voting rights, the voting age, slavery reparations and student debt forgiveness.
The California senator did signal her support for impeachment during the event, arguing that the Mueller report presented evidence that Trump engaged in obstruction of justice, but said she was a "realist" about the whether the efforts would ultimately be successful, given Senate Republicans' support for the president.
John Hickenlooper (D)
The former Colorado governor joined in calls for Mueller to testify before Congress in an interview with WBUR-FM, and, on evidence that Trump and his administration misled the public about contact with Russia, said that Americans should "expect more from our commander-in-chief."
Larry Hogan (R)
Hogan, the governor of Maryland, continues to say that he is considering a Republican primary challenge of Trump, explaining at a New Hampshire Institute of Politics "Politics and Eggs" event Tuesday morning that people continue to approach him about the possibility.
"People have asked me to give this serious consideration and I think I owe it to those people to do just that. That's what I'm doing," he said.
Hogan was further critical of the Republican National Committee, which he said had "the right to support the sitting president" but shouldn't "change the rules and… insist 100% loyalty."
Jay Inslee (D)
The Washington governor penned an open letter on Earth Day to his fellow 2020 candidates urging them to support his proposal for the Democratic National Committee to dedicate one out of 12 planned primary debates to solely focus on climate change.
Amy Klobuchar (D)
In the CNN Town Hall hosted earlier this week, the Minnesota Senator said that Trump should be held accountable following the Mueller report, but she stopped short of calling for impeachment.
Klobuchar also hosted a meet-and-greet event in Lexington, South Carolina to talk with local residents about her positive economic agenda to move the country forward.
Wayne Messam (D)
Miramar, Florida Mayor Wayne Messam's presidential campaign was undergoing allegations that his campaign staff isn't getting paid.
According to a report published by the Miami New Times, an anonymous former campaign staffer said that a campaign team member sent an email to staff with the subject line "Notification of hold on paychecks," which blamed the failure to disburse checks on Messam's wife, Angela.
Messam, whose lawyers are reviewing the allegations, told ABC News that "an unnamed staffer making a claim like that can't be validated."
Seth Moulton (D)
The Massachusetts congressman officially announced his candidacy for president this week on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Seth Moulton announces bid for 2020: Full interview
"And I am running because I am a patriot, because I believe in this country and because I have never wanted to sit on the sidelines when it comes to serving it," Moulton said.
Beto O'Rourke (D)
Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, while speaking to the press at the "She the People" forum in Texas, joined some of his fellow 2020 presidential candidates by stating that he is willing to "rethink" the voting rights of non-violent prisoners.
O'Rourke will also be returning to Nevada for his second trip since announcing his candidacy for president to participate in various grassroots events across the state.
Tim Ryan (D)
Ryan, who as a sitting member of the House would be in a position to vote on impeachment, said this week that he doesn't believe his chamber should begin proceedings against Trump, telling CNN that the House Judiciary Committee should continue to investigate.
"Let the Judiciary Committee look at this. There's a process in place here. I trust [committee chair Rep.]Jerry Nadler, he's one of the smartest guys in the United States Congress, I think that's the natural next step and let's see where that leads," Ryan said.
Bernie Sanders (D)
During a CNN town hall Monday, Sanders shared his opinion that incarcerated felons should be allowed to vote, a stance that was met with immediate backlash from Republican Party officials.
"I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy — yes, even for terrible people — because once you start chipping away … you're running down a slippery slope," Sanders said. "I do believe that even if they are in jail paying their price to society, that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy."
Eric Swalwell (D)
Like Booker, Swalwell promised to select a woman to be his running mate, should he capture the Democratic nomination.
"I've pledged that I would ask a woman to serve as vice president," he said in an appearance on MSNBC. "I would put forward a diverse candidate, and I would put forward policies that would make sure that inherent bias that exists, or discrimination that exists in communities, would be eliminated."
Elizabeth Warren (D)
Warren was among the first presidential candidates to call for proceedings last Friday in the aftermath of the Mueller report's release, tweeting that "to ignore a President's repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country, and it would suggest that both the current and future Presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways."
Warren calls on House to initiate impeachment proceedings of Trump
The Massachusetts senator released a proposal this week to wipe out student loan debt for millions of people and make public colleges free. Warren said that the plan would cost the federal government $640 billion, but be paid for by a tax increase on families with $50 million or more of wealth.
Student loan debt forgiveness in 2020 race
Bill Weld (R)
Weld outlined his campaign strategy in an interview with The New York Times, pointing out that independent voters can vote in the Republican primary in 20 states, including the early-voting state of New Hampshire and his home state of Massachusetts.
GOP Trump challenger Bill Weld one-on-one
"If people speak to issues that are of interest to millennials and Gen Xers and suburban female voters, I think the size and character of the electorate who are going to be voting in the Republican primaries is going to be quite different than you get right now," the former Massachusetts governor said.
Weld additionally revealed that he'll campaign in California, Oregon and Washington in addition to heavy travel in New England and the mid-Atlantic states.
Andrew Yang (D)
A Yang rally in Los Angeles on Monday attracted over 2,000 people, his campaign claimed, and it's the latest sign of widespread interest in a campaign once off most political observers' radars.
At an event in Las Vegas Wednesday, Yang compared himself to Trump, explaining that like the real estate mogul in 2016, he plans to speak about issues and ideas that other Democrats are ignoring, highlighting automation as a threat to American jobs.

The Philosophy Department at Southwestern University offers a distinctive, innovative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study and teaching of philosophy.
Welcome to the Southwestern Philosophy Department.
We provide students with a solid grounding in the history of western philosophy while also facilitating critical engagement with that history, allowing students to consider the lessons and strategies the study of philosophy offers for engaging contemporary questions and problems.
Over the past several years, we have undertaken curricular revisions that express our commitment to a program that fosters rigorous and coherent thinking and writing, while also locating such thinking within the power relations and differentials that inform, enable, and restrict it. This commitment is expressed in the multiple disciplinary, social, and cultural intersections our courses encourage students to explore.
Our particular strengths include intersections with Latin American Studies, Feminist Studies, Race and Ethnicity Studies, Queer Theory, and Marxist thought, as well as theories of media and political theory, including the key contemporary relationship between "politics" and "economics." Of late, the tendency of philosophy to be a discipline dominated by white men has received fairly widespread attention. Our department works systematically to depart from this tendency, to actively foster forms and directions of inquiry of interest to a wide range of persons.
Southwestern teaches Walker Lukens '09 how to think and take on new challenges.
As with many new ventures, the concept for digital media startup Latinx Spaces developed from an unfulfilled need in the marketplace.


A limited policy that offers varied degrees of coverage but includes items that are specifically included in the policy. These may be used to include a valuable object in the home, such a painting or certain types of jewelry.
Similar to HO-1, HO-2 is a limited policy in that it will cover only specific portions of a home against damage. The coverage is ordinarily a "named perils" policy, which lists the cases that would be covered. As above, these factors must be spelled come in the policy.
This policy is the most common one written for a owner and is designed to cover all aspects of the home, its structure and it contents. Also includes any liability that will arise from daily living. This includes visitors in the home that might encounter an accident or even injury on the premises. Covered aspects of liability must be clearly spelled out in the policy to insure proper coverage. The coverage is ordinarily called "all risk".
This is unremarkably referred to as renter's insurance. Similar to HO-6, this policy covers those aspects of the living accommodations and its contents not specifically covered in the blanket policy written for the renter's complex. This policy can, as well, cover liabilities arising from accidents and injuries for guests and passers-by up to 150' of the renter's complex.
This policy, similar to HO-3, covers a home (not a dwelling or even apartment), the owner and its possessions. Liability that might arise from visitors or even passers-by. This coverage is differentiated therein it covers a wider scope and depth of incidents and losses than AN HO-3.
As a form of supplemental homeowner's insurance, HO-6, a.k.a. a Condominium Coverage, is designed especially for the owners of condos. It includes coverage for the share of the building closely-held per insured and for the property housed in that of the insured.
Designed to span the gap between what the homeowner's association can cover in a blanket policy written for associate entire neighborhood and those things of importance to the insured. Occasionally the HO-6 covers liability for residents and guests on their private property. The liability coverage, contingent to the underwriter, premium paid, and more factors of the policy, can cover incidents up to 150' from the insured property, all valuables in the home from theft, fire or even water damage or even more forms of loss.
It's significant to read the Associations By-laws to determine the aggregate amount of insurance needful on your lodging.
Extremely low in cost and high in coverage, this is a extremely recommend policy for anyone owning a condo.

New Bodies Subject to Scottish FOI (FOISA) on 1st April 2014
On Tuesday (1st April 2014), more bodies in Scotland will be made subject to the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 ('FOISA').
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (Designation of Persons as Scottish Public Authorities) Order 2013 has been made under section 5 of FOISA which gives the Scottish Ministers the power to add additional organisations to the list of Scottish Public Authorities. Section 5(2) sets out the criteria for making such an order.
The organisation must :
"(a) appear to the Scottish Ministers to exercise functions of a public nature; or
(b) are providing, under a contract made with a Scottish public authority, any service whose provision is a function of that authority."
The new order extends FOISA to organisations created by councils to delivering leisure and sporting facilities. More precisely, in the words of the order, bodies:
"(a) established or created solely by one or more local authorities;
(b) whose functions on behalf of any of those authorities include developing and/or delivering recreational, sporting, cultural or social facilities and activities; and
c) which in carrying out those functions is financed wholly or in part by any of those authorities"
There is no legally definitive list of additional bodies, which will become subject to FOISA under the S.5 order on 1st April. It is for each organisation to satisfy itself if it meets these conditions.
However, pursuant to a FOISA request, the Scottish Information Commissioner has released, amongst other things, a list of potential bodies drawn up by her office in March 2013 while the draft S.5 order was being debated in the Scottish Parliament. Examples from the list include Culture and Sport Glasgow , Inverclyde Leisure, Sport Aberdeen and Fife Golf Trust. You can find more here. It is important to note that the Commissioner has issued this list with the caveat that it does not constitute a legally definitive list for the purposes of the order.
The Scottish Government intends to consult further in due course on extending freedom of information coverage to other arm's length organisations.
The order comes after a consultation in July 2010 by the Scottish Government on whether the coverage of FOISA should be extended to the following bodies:
Contractors building and maintaining hospitals and schools
Contractors operating privately managed prisons, providing prisoner escort and court custody services
Contractors operating and maintaining trunk roads under private finance contracts
The Glasgow Housing Association (GHA)
The Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (ACPOS)
Bodies created by local authorities to provide leisure, culture and sport services
Interesting how the Scottish Government decided not to make contractors subject to FOISA. In the rest of the UK, the debate on this issue has been reignited recently. The Government has once again flip flopped and mixed messages have come out about contractors being made subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FO)).
Initially there was talk of extension of FOI to the private sector. Now it is about extension of FOI through a new code of practice. This will be the subject of one of two new consultations announced recently.
It remains to be seen who will be the first to say yes to more openness and transparency for the private sector!
Think you know about FOISA? Have a go at the FOISA test.
Act Now Training has now designed a new certificated course; the Practitioner Certificate in the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. The course is endorsed by the Centre for FOI based at Dundee University.

Q: Node.js best socket.io practice (request-response vs broadcast) I am new to node.js/socket.io and may not be asking this the right way or even asking the right question.
The goal of my app is to get data from an API convert it to a JSON Object and store it in a mongodb.  Then serve the client side the data when needed.  I have thought about two possibilities and was wondering what the best practice would be.  My first notion was to broadcast all of the entries in the database every so often to all of the connections.  The other idea was to have the client request to server what data it needed and then send the requested data to client.
The data being stored in the database is around 100 entries.  The data would be updated from the API approximately every 30 seconds.  If method 1 was chosen the data would be broadcast every 5-10 seconds.  If method 2 was chosen then the data would be sent when requested.  The client side will have different situations where not all data will be needed all the time.  The client side will have to request data every so often to make sure the data is "fresh".
So my question is what is the best practice broadcast a large chunk every x seconds or broadcast smaller chunks when requested.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense.
Thanks for your time.

A: DDP protocol is definitely an interesting way to go, but it might be overkill. Simpler solution is to take the best from both method 1 and 2. If latency is not so important and you have spare bandwidth you can broadcast a "update" message to all clients when new data arrives. The client considers if the update affects it and downloads data it needs.
Slightly more complicated and more effective approach is subscription procedure very similar to DDP. For smaller projects you can implement it yourself in a while. This is how it could work:

*

*Client subscribes to a chunk of data.

*Server sends this chunk to the client and remembers which clients subscribed to what.

*If the chunk is updated the server goes through the subscription list and sends the new data to subscribers.

*Client can unsubscribe at any time by sending a special message, disconnecting (or optionally by subscribing to different chunk).

By chunk I mean any way how to identify some data. It can be record ID, time range a filter or anything that makes sense in your project.
