@John-Paul-RAGE Limited Quests for events and collabs go as far back as Episode 2, but the fourth Recommended Quest aka. the Level-Up Quests were added as a function in Episode 3 (2015/08/05). Three of the Level-Up Quests currently featured in the Japanese version (City, Mothership, and Ultimate Areas) are from Ep1-3.

imma say this if they expect people to be happy with hitting cap on all classes as something to do this games going to die very fast
Well, SEGA of Japan just put out a news update that basically says that they are going to have to adjust their release and development schedule for the Japanese version due to COVID-19 measures and the transition to work-from-home, so I'm guessing that this will also effect the planned update schedule for the NA server.
@AndrlCh well they have fucked themselves then.. by slowly releasing content cause its gonna die here in the west now because JP will always take priority
John Paul RAGE
@AndrlCh I am hoping it doesn't impact the NA service delivery too much since one of the benefits of the Azure server is that it is a remote server anyways.
Couldn't imagine that working on from home would prevent them from remoting in time make their changes. Unless their VPN infrastructure is garbage, then it would be difficult to do anything that requires a lot of bandwidth.
We will see what news we get from our staff tomorrow I suppose.
@NezumiiXD releasing 6 episodes in NA would have been an idiotic move that only pandered to the players from the JP servers.
Not releasing it all at once was the smart choice. The not-so-smart choice is the lack of a roadmap, plans, or anything concerning the future.
@John-Paul-RAGE they fucked themselves by no releasing episodes 4 and 5... there is stuff in game we cant upgrade or do anything with simply because they are parts of later episodes.... not to mention they have nerfd drop rates on things to make things move slower... to create a artificial grind
last edited by John Paul RAGE
@NezumiiXD what drop rates have been nerfed? The market is saturated with 13* weapons that came from field drops, it took me ages to get my first when they came out. The pace seems to be enough to integrate the newer audience into the game, the content, and the mechanical of the battles.
1 month per episode for the first 3 episodes isn't too bad if you consider it from a new Player's perspective. I think Episode 4 will come out by the end of Spring (June 16th to be exact) and that the remaining episodes will come quarterly until we are caught up.
Now if you are not planning on contributing to the speculation of the flow of the content updates, there is nothing more to say, there are plenty of other griefing threads you can participate in.
@John-Paul-RAGE 11* units... saikis are 10 mil for the backs and all that and ive farmed the hell out of them never to see them drop on NA went to jp and got 5 drops in 5 runs...

I have some idea of what the roadmap might possibly look like.
TIMELINE START
One thing that many people seem to overlook is the fact that the game's currently still considered to be in an Open Beta state. Yes it receives updates but the game hasn't officially launched. I believe the random factor that is the Open Beta (it can last for as long as bugs and other issues keep popping up) is one reason we don't know any idea on what's to come... any plans Sega would have may not be in terms of any specific dates but rather a "this many months after official launch" sort of scenario.
OPEN BETA CONTENT
Kinda hard to describe but i'll try my best. Many players are complaining about a lack of content in the game's Open Beta... while some attribute this to a repeat of PSU's case I do see something else. I personally think the issue here is that the current content available is the current content the game will need to have for its official FULL launch and when PC releases (more on that later). So on one hand, the only updates we might get during Open Beta are the different outfits and such and maybe some rotation of UQs, but true major content updates may not come until AFTER the game's "Officially" no longer in Open Beta.
OPEN BETA BUG FIXES
I do not wish to come off as blindly optimistic, but I do think there hasn't been much evidence AGAINST the issues reported during Open Beta NOT being fixed. I think that behind the scenes, many of the issues plaguing the Open Beta are being looked into... and the fixes are being implemented into the "Launch" client.
LAUNCH AND PC VERSION
Assuming things are going smoothly with whatever issues needed to be addressed in Open Beta, we can expect to see the game's launch either late April or early May. This may be followed up by the PC version's release on the same day... why do I think that? Well (mind you, these reasons are very speculative)...
Long ago, Sega clarified that the PC version's planned to come out during "Spring 2020" which is also when the game's full launch is expected to be. Mind you... Spring (in business terms) is between April and June so lets look at another point.
The Twitter made sure that the general idea was that the game would be coming out on Xbox One first... the Open Beta is far from the game's full launch, but it is an official public launch to the point that on this very site, Xbox One is the only platform listed without "Coming Soon" underneath it. So the game's technically out already on Xbox One, just in a "Open Beta" state.
One personal reason why I think the game hasn't even been released on PC is due to the fact that the Xbox One version needs to no longer be in Beta prior to full launch. I would consider this a bit of an inverse on how platform betas are handled on the Japanese version, PS Vita and PS4 Betas were done on isolated servers which were eventually merged into the public servers once the Beta period was over... in this case the difference is that the PC version isn't active yet.
More evidence popped up of the game having a Steam release, I personally believe the game may launch simultaneously on the Microsoft Store and Steam. What little we know of the PC version seems to indicate that it would be similar to JP's PC version complete with a game launcher used for options and updates. Given how similar online games with their own launchers and updates are handled (TERA, Final Fantasy XIV), Microsoft Store and Steam would be nothing more than just a distribution platform that installs the base game and launcher. This does also mean that there may not be much in terms of Steamworks integration or things like Achievements in order to keep both PC clients as identical as possible.
FULL LAUNCH CONTENT
Like I previously stated, the launch content may not be too different from the content currently available in Open Beta. Gating content serves not only the purpose of easing localization timelines but is also one of the things Sega's doing to make the game more accessible to new players. Given the new wave of new players that would be coming when the PC version launches, it only makes sense that both be on similar stages in terms of updates.
That said, we can certainly expect some content that wasn't available in the Open Beta such as Crafting or the Challenge and Battle Modes (hinted at here: https://pso2.com/manual/menu/quickmenu with the mention of "Universal Ships" which are the Shared Ships used in Japan for Battle and Challenge Mode) and late into the game's initial release (some months before the next Episode update) we may see Episode 3 UQs become active.
Several months (2-4) after the game's no longer in Beta and the PC version launches, Episode 4 content will be available.
EPISODE 5-6
I think we will be getting both Episode 5 and 6 at once. At launch we have the Oracle Saga available initially consisting of Episode 1-3. Episode 4 makes up the standalone "Earth Saga" and as previously mentioned, might be released all on its own. However, Episode 5 and 6 make up an entire saga known as the "Photoner Saga".
Given the patterns:
Sega didn't mind releasing the game with a whole saga making up its launch content.
The NA version does not have us waiting for individual story chapters to be released over time, rather all at once...
Episode 6's coming to an end around Summer in JP, therefore it would be able to be releasing in NA "all at once".
I do think we may have the full "Photoner Saga" released at once. I do especially believe this might be teh case due to Sega's demonstration that they are willing to streamline / work around things that didn't work such as them removing Old Type Weapons entirely. Episode 5 was quite unpopular to the point that its original roadmap, planned story direction and content was abandoned halfway through in favour of transitioning the game to Episode 6. As a result there really isn't that much content that Episode 5 could offer to begin with aside from Buster Quests and Dark Blast (Scion Classes, ill get to eventually).
As a result, we may see content from Episode 5 and 6 available at the same time and both theirs story released at once (though much like with the story mode, you have to complete Episode 5 first before you can play Episode 6... this is the SAME in the JP version).
In terms of UQ schedule, I think much like how we currently have Episode 1-3 available but most UQs are from Episode 1 or 2 with us maybe getting Episode 3 UQs late into release prior to the release of Episode 4, the first two/four months might consist of Episode 5 UQs before eventually having Episode 6 UQs.
SCION CLASS
Or as many JP players may know it as, "Successor Classes". Much like NA version has all the basic and advanced classes available at once, I think the NA version may not see a gradual release of "Scion Classes" but rather a batch update... literally a post on the front page of the website "SCION CLASSES ARE ARE HERE, READ ALL BOUT EM!".
Now this could get messy... the availability of Summoner does show that Sega doesn't need to go in chronological order to release classes so... Scion Classes could very well release in Episode 4.
Now, I do think the situation with Scion Classes MIGHT be a similar situation to Episode 6... we are getting a new Scion Class in the JP version so we might not get Scion Classes in the JP version until that new Scion Class is released so that it could be included with the 'batch of Scion Classes' available to the NA version.
Wew, thats all I got for now, tell me what you all think! xD

@Leonkh99 ROLMAO... game will be long dead with that road map... Like 2-4 months for episode 4.... dude people will have moved on to something different at that point...
@NezumiiXD from this point on I will just flag your off-topic and combative posts for moderation.
@Leonkh99 thanks for your insight and take on it. I also feel similarly in regards to it being how long NA focuses on content pieces rather than specific dates. I feel the game will have to leave open beta and have the PC join for at least a couple weeks or longer before EP 4 rolls out.
I just finished EP 3 campaign and failed to realize how many different significant UQs are tied to that episode. It would be hard to properly rotate that many mechanics in a 1 month windows like it *could be * doing at the moment. We will see tomorrow of the first Mining Base Defense and DFLuther get added to the UQ cycle.
A significant challenge (as I see it) will be balancing the random UQ encounters to allow players coming in at full release the opportunity to still participate in the Unique Badge farming, Elder, Luther, PD, Apprentice, etc.
If we are moving on to Episode 2-3 UQ wide this month, I say the average is adequate balancing both new players and experienced players. If we stagnate any longer in the Episode 1 stuff, I worry it may progress too slow.
redPG
@NezumiiXD Ep 4 would be very welcomed imo. Honestly Ep 1-3 are extremely boring. Ep 4 is when things start actually getting good.

You mean like literally every MMO that is made in the East? Some of which are still thriving right now?
@John-Paul-RAGE thats not even off topic or combative... lets talk 2 -4 months for new content... not EQ/UQ alot of people are already getting bored ... with the only thing left to do right now is max out each class its created a boring slog hence why most people are sitting in lobby chatting... now you make people wait 2-4 months on top of that for new content you may as well not even bring that content in because more than half your player base is going to have moved on.....

Lifetime Celebrates 30 Years of Original Movies
Aug 28, 2020 Updated Sep 9, 2020
(NewsUSA) - Lifetime celebrates 30 years of its iconic Lifetime Original Movies in 2020 and continues to be a premier entertainment destination for women, offering award-winning movies that viewers love, popular non-fiction series such as "Married at First Sight," and compelling "beyond the headlines" documentaries.
Recent hits include the top three movies in ad-supported cable for 2020: "The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel," "Stolen By My Mother: The Kamiyah Mobley Story," and "Chris Watts: Confessions of a Killer."Audiences with more time at home will not be disappointed, as Lifetime premieres 50 new movies between May and the end of 2020.
The summer-long celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Lifetime Original Movie begins with two-time Emmy nominee Niecy Nash (star of the critically acclaimed "Stolen by My Mother: The Kamiyah Mobley Story") hosting a special kick-off movie marathon weekend, May 30-31. It features two full days of Lifetime's most celebrated movies, as well as two movie premieres - "The Captive Nanny" (May 30) and "My Husband's Deadly Past" (May 31).
"The legacy of Lifetime Original Movies is undeniable, as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the pop culture phenomenon this year," says Amy Winter, executive vice president and head of programming for Lifetime and LMN.
"With everyone's lives radically shifted in the past weeks, what has remained constant is Lifetime's ability to deliver top-quality movie premieres such as "The Clark Sisters" to our audiences and provide them some much needed entertainment and escape. With over 50 more titles to debut between now and the end of the year, our storytelling ability is further strengthened by the incredible talent partners we have lined up."
Upcoming projects engage the talents of stars such as Jamie Lee Curtis, who will executive produce, star in, and direct the new film, "How We Sleep at Night: The Sara Cunningham Story," the true story of a devout Christian mother who comes to accept her son being gay.
Fans of biopics, and those who can't get enough royals can look forward to a third installment in the Harry & Meghan movie franchise, which follows the couple's controversial detachment from traditional royal life after the birth of their son Archie.
Before you know it, the holidays will be here.
As the home for holiday movies with something for everyone, Lifetime's popular "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" event will return later this year, featuring holiday-themed movies and national treasure Betty White in a can't-miss role as (perhaps?) Mrs. Santa Claus.
Lifetime also is ramping up its 2021 movie pipeline, which is scheduled to include Salt-N-Pepa and Wendy Williams biopics, as well as the V.C. Andrews Ruby Landry Movie Series.

Pillow Maker Pays $1 Million to Settle False Advertising Lawsuit
By Silicon Valley Newsroom / November 1, 2016 5

A pillow company that claimed to ease symptoms of sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, insomnia and migraines agreed to pay more than $1 million to settle a false advertising lawsuit filed by Santa Clara and seven other California counties.
My Pillow trotted out testimonials that lacked any basis in science, according to the suit filed against the Minnesota-based manufacturer in Alameda County Superior Court.
The company agreed to pay $995,000 in civil penalties and $100,000 to charities that offer shelter to domestic violence victims and the homeless. My Pillow is also prohibited from making claims that their products can cure or treat any diseases unless they conduct a human trial to prove it.
"We will hold accountable companies that make false claims to get consumers to buy their products," Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement.
The DA's Office is part of a multi-agency task force that keeps an eye out for false and misleading advertising claims, he added. My Pillow not only pitched its products as the cure-all for a range of disorders, according to the complaint, it also called itself the "Official Bed Pillow" of the National Sleep Foundation without disclosing the financial connection between the two.
Santa Clara County will get nearly $100,000 of the civil penalty assessment, which the DA's Office plans to use on enforcing consumer protection laws. Some $10,000 of the charitable proceeds agreed to in the settlement will go to the YWCA Silicon Valley, Asian Americans for Community Involvement, Community Solutions and Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence.

Q: How to think of a sub-sigma algebra as a collection of random variables? Where $\mathcal{H}$ is a $\sigma$-algebra on $\Omega$, section 9.1 here discusses thinking of a sub-$\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{G}$ of $\mathcal{H}$ "as the collection of all numerical random variables that are $\mathcal{G}$-measurable".
This answer gives some intuition for $\sigma$-algebras generated by random variables ("restricting the world's probabilism"), which aligns with the lecture notes (the first link). Even so, I don't see where any functions (random variables) are in a set of sets ($\mathcal{G}$).
Can I have some pointers to further reading?

A: $\newcommand{\classG}{\mathcal{G}}$
To facilitate discussion, let's first settle the probability space to be $(\Omega, \mathcal{H}, P)$, and let $\mathcal{G}$ be a sub-$\sigma$-algebra of $\mathcal{H}$.  The complete sentence that the author wrote is:

Cinlar
advocates for thinking of the sub-$\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{G}$ both as a collection of events (i.e., measurable subsets
of $\Omega$), and as the collection of all numerical random variables that are $\classG$-measurable.

The first part of the quote is obvious:  by definition $\classG$ (in fact any subclass $\mathcal{A}$ of $\mathcal{H}$) is a collection of events.
Mechanically speaking, the second part of the quote does not make sense, because $\classG$ is a class of sets, instead of random variables (i.e., functions defined on $\Omega$).  However, such "thinking" does make sense in view of the following isomorphism $\tau$ between $\classG$ and $\mathscr{I}$, which is defined as the class of indicator functions of events in $\classG$: for every $G \in \classG$, define $\tau(G) = I_G(\omega), \omega \in \Omega$.  Now $\mathscr{I} = \{I_G: G \in \classG\}$ is a collection of numerical random variables that are $\classG$-measurable -- intuitively, for each $\omega \in \Omega$, knowing the value of $I_G(\omega)$ is equivalent to knowing if the event $G$ occurs, that is, if $\omega \in G$.  In addition, $\tau$ is obviously a bijective between $\classG$ and $\mathscr{I}$. This justifies the second part of the quote.
For more enlightening discussion on sub-$\sigma$-algebra and its heuristic relation to partial information, I recommend you reading the Subfields subsection in Section 4 of Probability and Measure by Patrick Billingsley.

MLB's postseason ad with Ken Griffey Jr. is a scorching indictment of the unwritten rules
Mike Oz
October 2, 2018, 7:19 PM UTC
Let the kids play.
With those four words, Major League Baseball took a big step toward fighting back against the absurd code that suppresses joy in its game. With those four words, uttered by the illustrious Ken Griffey Jr. in the league's new postseason ad, the MLB establishment might have just told us that it's as fed up with the unwritten rules as many fans are.
Here's the ad, titled "Rewrite the Rules." It'll get you hype for the postseason, you'll geek out at the reveal and it's absolutely needed:
😲 to this ad
✌to the unwritten rules
(via @MLB)pic.twitter.com/DehFPGYuaK
— Yahoo Sports MLB (@MLByahoosports) October 2, 2018
For background: The ad includes many of the game's great young stars who are pushing back against baseball's archaic "unwritten rules" that frown on things like showing emotion on the field, celebrating a home run or flipping a bat.
Putting players like Yasiel Puig, Ronald Acuña Jr., Mookie Betts and Francisco Lindor front and center in the ad is no accident. They represent the new era of baseball players with their swagger and attitude. Particularly in the case of Puig and Acuña, they have a track record of being criticized for not "playing the game the right away." Puig, for flipping his bat and wagging his tongue. Acuña, for not wearing his cap straight.
And let's be completely clear about this: The ad is an endorsement from MLB of bat flips and celebrations and — gasp — fun.
There was no one better to deliver the message than Griffey, who was the first to challenge the idea that baseball didn't have to keep being the way it always had been. But all these years after Griffeymania kicked down some doors, baseball's old-school ethos just won't die.
Sixty seconds of video on the internet won't fix the entire problem. But if MLB itself is going to lend its voice — with Ken Griffey Jr. telling people, "let the kids play" — then we might be moving in the right direction.

Kevin Oxley awarded OAM
"Kevin Oxley"
KEVIN OXLEY OAM: For service to visual and performing arts.
Queen's birthday list June 2014.
"WHAT do you do for a living?" a 28-year-old Kevin Oxley was asked.
"I am a printer, but I am going to be an artist," he replied.
It was enough to push him to do something about his dream.
"I thought 'here I am saying it again, either I become an artist or forget about it',"
the Flaxton artist said. It has led him along a path which today sees him awarded an OAM for his services to visual and performing arts.
"There are many people deserving such an award, but I'm happy to receive some recognition," he said.
Mr Oxley has encouraged and guided many artists since establishing The Hawkesbury Community Arts Workshop at Hawkesbury Agricultural College in 1978.
In his time on the Coast, he has been director of Art and Cultural Development at the Sunshine Coast Advancement Network; a drawing lecturer at Sunshine Coast University; president of Montville Village Association and has judged many art awards.
This text is taken from the Sunshine Coast Daily newspaper on Monday June 9th, 2014
Kevin is now in his studio preparing for an October exhibition of new work at Art on Cairncross, Maleny.

Denial of Free Speech by the Courts
Jeremiah Project Posted on April 20, 2018 by Vic Bilson April 20, 2018
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. – The Bill of Rights
A Marxist influenced court began it's attack on Christianity decades ago. Today, they have so misinterpreted the Constitution that the world as we know it now looks nothing like our nations foundings. They have been for years and continue to be greatly influenced by cultural Marxism as they've reshaped America into a Socialist state.
Following are examples of the courts and local authorities stifling free speech.
Freedom of speech and press is guaranteed to students unless the topic is religious, at which time such speech becomes unconstitutional. [Stein vs. Oshinski, 1965; Collins v. Chandler Unified School district, 644 F. 2d 759, 760 (9th Cir. 1981).]
Remove student prayer: "Prayer in its public school system breaches the constitutional wall of separation between Church and State." [Engel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421, 425 (1962).] On June 26, 1962, the Supreme Court bans the New York State school prayer, "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country."
It is unconstitutional for students to hear prayers of the Chaplain of the U.S. House or Senate. [State Board of Ed. vs. Board of Ed. of Netcong, 1970]
Remove benedictions and invocations from school activities: "Religious invocation…in high school commencement exercise conveyed message that district had given its endorsement to prayer and religion, so that school district was properly [prohibited] from including invocation in commencement exercise." [Graham v. Central Community School Distict of Decatur County, 608 F. Supp. 531, 536 (W.D.N.Y. 1985; Kay by Disselbrett v. Douglas School District 719 F. 2d 875 (or. Ct. App. 1986; Jager v. Douglas, 862 F. 2d 824, 825 (11th Cir. 1989).]
If a voluntary, nondenominational prayer is coercive, what would you call the left indoctrination that has become the staple of modern pedagogy, from condom distribution to AIDS education to multiculturalism to Earth worship?
Prayer before athletic events is unconstitutional. [Jager vs Douglas, 1989]
Remove school Bible readings: "If portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could be, and…had been, psychologically harmful to the child." [School Dist. Of Abington Twp. V. Schempp, 374 U.S. 203, 209 (1963).]
It is unconstitutional for a Board of Education to use or refer to the word "God" in any of its official writings. [State of Ohio v. Whisner, 351 N.E. 2d 750 (Ohio Sup. Ct. 1976).]
In Phoenix Arizona, Sherri Steckel, a tenured Bethune Elementary school teacher, was fired in Jan. 1993 without warning on charges of unprofessional conduct for "religious activities." Behaviors listed by the Phoenix Elementary Board of Education as "unprofessional" included folding her hands in what they called "prayer position" during the in-class moment of silence. She was also accused of daily praying in class because one fifth grade student thought he heard her whisper a prayer once during the moment of silence. Steckel did admit to praying for two students during non-instructional time in the school courtyard, playing instrumental praise music and a patriotic album with songs like "God Bless America" on it while students did seat work, and once using a lesson which centered on the biblical message of honoring father and mother. According to one of her former colleagues, Steckel was "a top reading teacher in the district. They brought in people from all over the district to observe her because she got top reading scores with children." [The Arizona Republic, Feb. 26, 1993, cited in Religious Rights Watch, June 1993.]
In Virginia, a federal court has ruled that a homosexual newspaper may be distributed on a high school campus, but religious newspapers may not. [Willaim J. Murray, "America Without God," The New American, June 20, 1988, pg. 19.]
Officials at Wauconda Junior High School banned the evangelical Christian newspaper Issues and Answers from the school, saying that they have a legal obligation to maintain the "separation of church and state." [Chicago Tribune, Oct. 1, 1991.]
A kindergarten student wanted to read the story of the first Christmas as his class project "Favorite Story Month" assignment. The teacher and the principal promptly told this little kindergarten student that books about God weren't allowed in school.
At a New York school, a young boy is instructed not to mention or write about "God" in any of his classwork.
In Georgia, a young girl is told not to write a biography of Jesus.
A fourth grader in California is warned he can do a book report on anything … except the Bible and religion.
First grader Emily Aaker of Bemidji, Minnesota was told by her teacher that she could not play her favorite tape, "Surf and Turtles," because it contained religious songs. As part of the Horace May Elementary School's "Student of the Week" program, selected students were allowed to share their favorite music with classmates.
A K-5 nursery rhyme was declared to be unconstitutional because someone might think it was a prayer even though the word "God" was not contained in it. [Despain vs. Dekalb County Community School District, 1967]
To make sure that no students got the message that God might play a part in keeping off drugs and out of gangs, Wichita Schools Superintendent Larry Vaughn instructed speakers during Youth Crisis Awareness Week in September 1993 to avoid any mention of religion in their talks. The talks were sponsored by a coalition of Christian groups. The week included evening events at several churches. The gag order by Superintendent Vaughn was intended to keep the speakers from advertising the evening events during their talks at 65 area schools. [Religious Rights Watch, December 1993.]
If a student prays over his lunch, it is unconstitutional for him to pray aloud. [Reed v. Van Hoven, 237 F. Supp. 48 (W.D. Mich. 1965).]
An elementary school student in Missouri is disciplined for praying over his lunch.
Public schools were barred from showing a film about the settlement of Jamestown because the film depicted the erection of a cross at the settlement, despite the historical fact that a cross was erected at the Jamestown settlement. [John Eidsmoe, Christianity and the Constitution (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1987), pg. 406.]
A Bloomingdale Michigan high school was sued because it has a portrait of Jesus Christ hanging in the hallway. The portrait is a classical and historical picture. It is a portrait of Christ, not wearing a crown of thorns or hanging on a cross, things which might hold a religious significance for people. Eric Pensinger and his mother filed a lawsuit with the help of the ACLU which challenges the picture as a violation of the separation of church and state. A Michigan federal judge agreed with Pensinger, that a portrait of Jesus Christ displayed in a hall for 30 years at Bloomingdale High School violates the First Amendment's ban on state-advancement of religion. Judge Benjamin Gibson ordered it removed. Rutherford Institute attorneys defending the school said, "To disallow a questionable 'religious' picture in the context of a public school is not government neutrality towards religion, but instead is an example of censorship."
High school art teacher Nancy Greenwood asked her students at Red River High School to design posters expressing their emotions about an issue of concern in their community. Students chose topics such as drugs, AIDS, abortion and the environment. Heidi Marwitz, however, designed a poster that included a cross, an American flag and the question, "Is the Son shining in your school?" Greenwood gave the poster a perfect grade and displayed it in a school hallway with the rest of the class posters. Principal Everett Knudsvig ordered the poster down because it violated school policy. The policy is based on "the separation of church and state," Knudsvig said. "We have to be respectful of all religions and not place one over the other." [Grand Forks Herald, March 11, 1995.]
In Bel Aire, Kansas, the word "Easter" has been dropped from their annual egg hunt. Ever since President Hayes started the custom of the White House Easter Egg Roll on Easter Monday of 1878, except for the years 1942 to 1953, that tradition has been enjoyed by many thousands of children who couldn't have cared less about any religious significance. Ironically, the word "Easter" although adopted by Christians long ago, is not of Christian derivation. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Easter is "a goddess of spring." The World Book Encyclopedia says it "may have come from 'Eastre,' a Teutonic goddess of spring, or from the Teutonic festival of spring called 'Eastur.'"
In the Alaska public schools, students were told they could not use the word "Christmas" in school because it had the word "Christ" in it, nor could they have the word in their notebooks, nor exchange Christmas cards or presents, nor display anything with the word "Christmas" on it. [Willaim J. Murray, "America Without God," The New American, June 20, 1988, pg. 19.]
The Postmaster in Appleton, Wisconsin, invited students from area schools to submit artwork for display at the local post office. However, when the students at Appleton Christian School were selected to sumit their artwork, a postal employee advised them "to avoid decorations that are overly religious." They were later told they could not include manger scenes or the word 'Christmas' on their greeting card art. [The Rutherford Institute newsletter, March 1995.]
In Frederick County, Virginia, Thomas Malcolm, the superintendent of schools ordered teachers to stop using the word "Christmas" because of its religious implications. It its place, teachers were instructed to call it a "winter holiday." Christmas parties are OK for schools to hold, but they must be called "holiday parties." Employees were further instructed to refer to Easter as "spring break" or use other terminology that does not convey religious meaning to students. Malcolm's memo bears a striking resemblance to the way the former Soviet Union required Christmas to be observed in its public schools. Soviet government mandates forbade the use of the word Christmas, requiring "winter holiday" instead. "Father Frost" was the substitute for Jesus or Santa Claus, and the trees decorated at this time of year were called "New Year Trees." [Cal Thomas, "Russia Learned What America Has Scorned," AFA Journal, Feb. 1993.]
At South Lake schools in Michigan students designed a holiday banner in music class and were told they had to replace "Merry Christmas" with "Merry X-Mas."
In Colorado, a music teacher was stopped from singing traditional Christmas carols in her classes. ["Parent Silences Teaching of Carols," Washington Times, Dec. 12, 1988.]
In Ithaca, New York, a school superintendent issued an official policy mandating that all songs mentioning Jesus be banned or censored in music classes and annual Christmas programs.
In Emporia Kansas, the school board decided to drop a Christmas program that has been a tradition since the 1930s. The board attorney John Atherton said before they voted, "If we go on with the program as is, we can certainly expect to be sued by the ACLU." ["Emporia School Board won't Sponsor Traditional Christmas Pageant," The Wichita Eagle, September 16, 1993, pg. 5D.]
In Our Court Rooms…
Remove the Ten Commandments from view: "If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the commandments…this…is not a permissible state objective under the Establishment Clause…The mere posting of the copies [of the Ten Commandments]…the [First Amendment] prohibits." [Stone v. Gramm, 449 U.S. 39, 42 (1980).]
The ACLU has filed suit against Etowah County Circuit Judge Roy S. Moore asking that prayer be banned from his chamber and that he be ordered to remove a copy of the Ten Commandments from the wall above his bench. [Birmingham News/Birmingham Post-Herald, April 1, 1995.]
In California and Pennsylvania, prosecutors were banned from referring to the Bible in state courtrooms. [Pat Robertson, newsletter, March 1993.]
In the Public Square…
The city of Vienna, Virginia put up a secular Christmas scene alongside a nativity scene to avoid trouble. But that wasn't good enough for the ACLU, who filed suit, won, and had the nativity scene removed. Intimidated by the ACLU, city leaders asked the Vienna city chorus to sing only secular songs at the Christmas program. To its credit, the chorus refused. Now the city has dropped the program altogether. [D. James Kennedy, Coral Ridge Ministries newsletter, October 31, 1994]

Varyant is the more widely known name for the United Nations Avenue (), an avenue in İzmir, Turkey that is well known for its winding route and vista of the city. The road connects Halil Rıfat Paşa Avenue in central Konak to İnönü Avenue in Eşrefpaşa. The avenue was originally built as a two-way street, but the northern half was converted to a one way street, when Halil Rıfat Paşa Avenue was extended down to Bahribaba in Konak. Traffic heading up the hill use Varyant, while traffic heading down use Halil Rıfat Paşa Avenue. At the midpoint of the route, United Nations Avenue becomes a two-way street until its southern end at İnönü Avenue.

Overview

Construction of Varyant began on 1 December 1950. The route was originally built on several viaducts to help traverse the steep terrain. The land under these viaducts have since been filled up, leaving only the concrete barriers in place. A section of one viaduct, at the intersection with Halil Rıfat Paşa Avenue, can still be seen from Konak. The road was originally named Vali Rahmi Bey Avenue but was soon changed to United Nations Avenue, in honor of the newly formed world organization. The section of road to Halil Rıfat Paşa Avenue was opened on 25 March 1952. The section of road to İnönü Avenue was opened within the next year or two; the exact date is not clear.

The route was built with a 7° incline, a total width of  and consists of six sharp curves. The total length of United Nations Avenue is  and the difference in elevation is .

The route begins in central Konak, splitting off from Halil Rıfat Paşa Avenue, near the western portal of the Konak Tunnel. This section is of the route is for southbound (uphill) traffic only, as Halil Rıfat Paşa Avenue runs parallel for northbound (downhill) traffic. United Nations Avenue winds around the İzmir Ethnography Museum until reaching its halfway point on the last visible viaduct at a height of  above sea-level. Halil Rıfat Paşa Avenue intersects with United Nations Avenue and continues west to Halil Rıfat Paşa. South of the intersection, Varyant becomes a two-way avenue and continues south to İnönü Avenue. The route winds around two more sharp curves until reaching İnönü Avenue at the Bayramyeri intersection.

ESHOT city buses use Varyant for bus routes from Konak to Buca and Karabağlar. Articulated buses are too big for the sharp curves, thus mainly midibuses and some single-deck buses run along United Nations Avenue.

Monster Reviewed by Movie Gazette on Thursday, February 26th, 2004.
With a serial killer who is also a serial victim, and whose gruff exterior conceals a fragile beauty, it is hard to know who the real monster is in this film – and that's a good thing.
UK Certificate: 18
Virtually every film ever made about a serial killer includes a scene where the main character stares into a mirror. This device is an effective means for inviting viewers to imagine how the killer sees himself, but it is also a dreadful cliché, so its repeated use (a staggering four times) in Patty Jenkins' 'Monster' is the kind of multiple offence which normally would guarantee the death penalty from discerning judges. Yet in 'Monster' such scenes come with extenuating circumstances, for the killer in question is not a man but a woman (based on, and named after, the real-life Aileen Wuornos) – and while the reflected image of a male psychopath can offer little more than a cold stare, a woman's reflected gaze captures a whole history – a very female history – of low self-esteem and anxieties about beauty. More particularly, if you look hard enough at Aileen's blemished, washed-out face, her thick, chapped lips, and her corpulent figure, you can just about make out the heavily disguised form of Charlize Theron, who has 'uglied up' and packed on the pounds for the rôle.
It might be said that the decision to cast statuesque, platinum blonde Theron as unhinged, chubby trailer trash smacks of a certain cynicism. It is, after all, not so very long since Nicole Kidman earned herself a pretty Oscar donning an ugly prosthetic nose in 'The Hours' – and although Theron received no actor's fee for 'Monster', she did have a special clause in her contract offering a bonus for an Oscar nomination (which she has now won). Yet the truth is that costume and make-up have always been a part of the performer's stock-in-trade, and extreme disguises, far from being something merely to hide behind, can often bring out the best in an actor. Without a headlining star like Theron, 'Monster' would never have been financed – but as it is, Theron gives her most – indeed her only – memorable performance to date as the low-rent Aileen, one moment all swagger, the next vulnerability, and then exploding with pent-up rage.
What is more, she has been well cast. The fact that Theron's own mother killed her father brings a special resonance to the part – and Jenkins' script focusses from the very start on Aileen's childhood dreams of becoming "a big big star, or maybe just beautiful, beautiful and rich like the women on TV" – in other words, buried deep inside this disturbed, over-sized woman, there is a thin, waifish Charlize Theron just waiting to be recognised and adored. By the time the main narrative begins, Aileen is a cheap hooker contemplating suicide, but when the closeted lesbian Selby (Christina Ricci) comments on how beautiful Aileen is, all Aileen's old dreams are rekindled, giving her a new reason to live. Desperately seeking redemption in their relationship, Aileen continues hooking to support Selby, but is soon also killing and robbing the men who pick her up.
'Monster' plays itself out as a tragic love story, and while Aileen does gradually become a cold-blooded, and increasingly deranged, murderer, she is also portrayed as a victim, abused and hideously betrayed by the film's many other monsters – all of which ensures that the viewer's sympathies and prejudices are given a very uncomfortable ride.
It's Got: Life down the toilet, love gone wrong, beer and blowjobs, sex and murder - with the brilliant Bruce Dern cast in a supporting rôle, establishing a clear link to the long and noble line of 1970s feelbad films.
It Needs: Uma Thurman as the bearded Hells Angel, and Halle Berry as the rat in the alley.

Long story short, I'm down four pounds this week, for a total of 145 pounds lost and bringing my current weight to an even 200.
Long story very long, I'm content with the loss but feeling a little challenged overall. In the end of March, I started tracking my food and my weight daily. I used to just eat and mentally take note of how I was doing, but knowing that I was about to hit a bit of emotional turbulence, I wanted an extra level of accountability. When I start to fixate on and obsess over numbers, though, I struggle, and I'm willing to say that even though that can't be blamed entirely for my recent overeating, it can't be helping it. I can't give up daily weighing right now, but I might stop tracking numerically - still writing down what I eat, but not breaking out a calculator every time I sit down for dinner.
I would say that the numbers have been the only tough thing about the plant-strong eating challenge. There's a bit of an odd mental component to this challenge for me. I know I am eating well - all plants and whole grains - but I never feel full. For example: I made gluten-free organic brown rice pasta the other day, and after eating a bowl of it, my stomach didn't feel heavy like it usually does after eating pasta. Maybe it's because I had one serving (as opposed to the past when four boxes of mac 'n' cheese were an afternoon snack), but still, it was weird. I didn't feel hungry anymore, but I also didn't have the feeling that I've used for so long to identify okay, you're done now, you're satisfied. I don't miss the taste of meat, I just miss the feeling of eating it, if that makes sense.
I really like the clean plant-based eating, and I'd like to continue to eat this way even after the end of the challenge, but it's going to take some planning on my part. It's hard for me to eat only three times a day, especially when I'm stressed. What I may end up doing is pre-making my day's bigger meals and having them in two servings - so instead of a 500 calorie dinner at 6pm, for example, I'd have 250 calories of it at 5 and the rest at 7. I don't know, I'll have to try a few things and figure out what works for me.
It's funny, though: before I started writing everything down, I had only one binge in six months - in mid-February when my dad had his second heart attack. I started tracking in the end of March, and since then, my eating has been on and off. This map includes my namecalling binge, my mom's visit, the end of the semester, and my first month of unemployment. Overall, I'm not really pleased with my eating. I defined my calorie goal as being between 1250 and 1350, and since some of those red days were 1450-1500 and others 2000+, judging with a gradient scale of only five possibilities is a little tough.
I've managed to lose weight still (and to stay on-plan while following the Engine 2 challenge guidelines), but not much, and only because I've had to work out extra hard to balance out the snacking. A small positive, though: I noticed that after serious overeating (2000+ calories), I am almost always under my calories for at least a day afterwards - balancing myself out, I guess. My stomach knows what's best for me a little better than my brain does.
Lots of fluctuation. It reminds me of a readout from an EKG machine, somewhat appropriate considering that my heart has likely been racing more these past few months than ever before.
I'm an anxious mess, panicking about so many different things in my life right now. I never heard back from the school I interviewed with last week - nor have I heard back from any of the two dozen other jobs I have applied for, either. I look for jobs in other cities, then have trouble breathing because I realize I probably can't even afford to move. I'm smart, hard-working, motivated, organized ... so why doesn't anyone want to hire me? The problem intensifies when I start to take it all personally - in my panic, I forget that just because I'm not the right person doesn't mean I'm not a good person.
For jobs, I'm trying my best to believe that everything will work out like it is supposed to. As much as I dread the idea of asking for help, my parents offer it endlessly, so at the very least, I will not end up homeless. Becoming another statistic of the boomerang generation isn't ideal, but it's important to keep in mind that I'm lucky that it's even an option.
For weight loss, I'm trying to focus on the bigger picture, the results of my official weekly weigh-ins instead of the daily ones, because I really am doing a good job in the grand scheme of things, even if it doesn't always feel like it on the micro level.
A few weeks of small losses, one one-pound gain, and overall steady loss for ten months - not to mention dozens of incredible non-scale victories that I can't overlook just because I've hit a rough patch. There will always be tough times in life whether I'm trying to lose weight or not, and the best I can do is to stay strong and keep moving forward, even if I'm going against the current.
What about you? Do you track your food intake? If so, what notes do you take - just the foods themselves, calories, fat, etc.? What's your go-to 150-calories-or-fewer food for when the urge to snack hits?
That weight-loss is GREAT! Look - you are totally headed in the right direction!! I know things have been a struggle, but you are doing SO WELL. Keep up the awesome work. :) I'm so proud of you.
I did track my points with points plus when I started Weight Watchers the last week of December, but then I learned to recognize what an appropriate and nutritional amount of food was. I havent tracked in about 3 months but I am still losing.
You sound like you are really psyching yourself out and that is no good. Stop with the number, slow down when eating and give yourself 10-20 minutes to feel full.
3 large meals a day is no good, I thick your idea of breaking it up is better, 5-6 smaller meals is healthier. Eat when you are hungry not on a time schedule.
You are almost to onederland!!! So happy for you! My favorite 150 calorie snack is two nutra-grain waffles (140) and 1/4 cup sugar free syrup (20). It's 160 calories, close. I also love 100 calorie microwaveable popcorn and strawberries, a Mission 100% whole wheat tortilla shell (130 cals)-cut into strips, spray with a little Pam and sprinkle on cinnamon and bake until crispy! I also love egg whites with a slice of melted cheese, very filling.
Mary are you calling these places back? Or are you waiting on them?
Every job I have not called back for, I have not gotten. The ones I was persistent with, well, I have gotten.
Plus, it makes you feel good knowing you are being pro active instead of re active no matter the outcome.
Congrats on the loss!! I've been majorly slacking lately..I really need to kick things into high gear! My go to snack is either Greek yogurt, a granola bar, or fruit!
I was tracking for a while a few months back after struggling to lose with no success. I tried several online trackers. Like you, seems that I had a lot of ups and downs when I did it. My chart looks similar... downward but with many spikes up. Someone once said to me that weight loss is not linear. Makes sense, much as we'd like it to be. My go-to snacks - baby bel light cheese and fruit or some grape tomatoes.
Eeee! One more pound!!! SO exciting!!!
You said in your name calling binge post that you might as well be your old weight. And maybe the 345 Mary would have not only really believed that, but took it to heart and ran with it never looking back. I bet you don't miss that about being 345 Mary.
I count calories. If I go over, I compensate the next day. I give myself a day of no counting every now and then - planned. So I won't use an off day as a failure and an excuse to give it all up. I am not as strong as you are... yet! I eat an egg a lot. 85 calories. Fruit alone makes me hungry.
This weekend I had a gigantic wake up call regarding my weight. In my head I thought I looked one way, but in the multiple pictures that were taken of me it is clear that I am far larger than my mind's eye paints me.
It kind of sucked. I suppose the good news is that I now have motivation to change, whereas before I never really knew how heavy I was because I didn't like my picture taken. There was no way for me to actually view how large I had gotten. Sure, I had stretch marks and sagginess and such, but I had an "out of sight, out of mind" kind of mentality when it came to my weight, which was "do not think about it, and you are thin!"
Clearly that was not the case.
The tracking beings. I don't actually have a system of tracking, and the ones I've used in the past were web-based (like thedailyplate) they typically track everything. Probably anything works, but in order to actually get something out of it it must be stuck to.
I'm saying that more for myself than for you. Clearly you are pretty good at sticking to things.

There are few things more uncomfortable than heatwaves in cities. Customers are already navigating crowded shopping strips and sales, and adding extreme weather makes browsing so much worse. Needless to say, anything that can make shopping easier is going to grab the public's eye. Luckily, there are dozens of new innovations being introduced to urbanites. Additions to meals, faster deliveries, and useful technology are all playing a part in making retailers and services efficient and (dare we say it) exciting. Not only are consumers looking to relax and cool off— they're looking to save time, stress less, and discover what stores have to offer. Who can blame them? The humidity and heat in urban areas rarely ramps up motivation. But don't worry, sit back and unwind — The Urbanist has you covered.
Some things are meant to go together: pizza and movies, beer and tacos, fried chicken and grease. YUM! Brands is delivering add-ons to food that aren't just helpful, they're driving sales. KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut have all introduced innovative accessories to their wings, quesadillas, and pepperoni slices.
KFC- Long gone are the days of vigorously washing and wiping fingers before using your phone. Customers in Germany were treated to a complementary Bluetooth keyboard, the "Tray-Typer" to save their phones from extra grease.
TACO BELL- Taco Bell is stepping up the casual dining game at a new Wicker Park location. The menu will now feature beer, wine, and mixed alcohol freezes. Taco Bell has already experimented with providing alcohol overseas but, so far, there are no plans to allow customers to raise a glass at other locations.
PIZZA HUT- Pizza boxes in Japan just got more sophisticated. The "pizza saver" (preventing the union of cheese and cardboard) contains a small lens that fits into the side of the box, allowing customers to project movies from a smartphone. Each box comes with a QR code prompting a free movie download.
All of these developments have brands raking in curious customers and sales.
A SMILE, A WINK, AND A PROMOTION?
Pictures speak louder than words, but what about emojis? The cute ideograms that have found a home in messaging services feature animals, faces, and symbols that can complement or even replace text all together. Retailers hadn't been able to harness this popular social tool and translate it into the retail sphere — until now.
Old Navy has launched emoodji.com, a website that scans your designated social media account and pairs your favorite emoji with a beach holiday and some free flip-flops. Once participants have created a mood board featuring their dream holiday, they could be chosen to visit their destination in reality.
Using this communication feature to market retail won't just help Old Navy connect with a wide variety of consumers, it'll get them talking about it.
The woes of going to a cocktail party, a job interview, or even a wedding with a lackluster wardrobe have just gotten less stressful. Nordstrom, the high-end clothing retailer, is making a bid for consumers that will hand you your clothes on the same day.
Customers who shop online don't have to wait for UPS, they can now pick up orders without entering a store or mall. Thanks to Nordstrom, you can simply pull up near the store, text or call a sales assistant, and wait while they run the order out to you.
Meanwhile, Macy's is working with a third-party delivery system to deliver products within the same day and Amazon is leading the field with a record one-hour delivery time. This makes efficient delivery the new battlefront for retailers.
Few things can be as overwhelming as choosing a good bottle of wine. In a bar, restaurant, or in the store, it's easy to feel lost in obscure categories of red or white. Beringer Vineyards has developed one of the most inventive solutions to help customers make empowered decisions while avoiding alcohol content and strict times for sampling.
Based on insights from consumers, the brand has created a "Taste Station" to be located in the aisles of Kroger supermarkets in 20 states. Shoppers can sample three of Beringer Vineyard's most popular wines, the Chardonnay, White Zinfadel, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each will have a single-serving flavor strip that gives customers a taste, without the alcohol content.
Not only does this stop shoppers from feeling intimidated, it helps consumers feel confident and content with the bottle they pick up. Encouraging newcomers to branch out with their choice of wine has never seemed so smart, or delicious.

Stiglitz: Sanders is Right–Everybody Has the Right to Healthcare, Sick Days and Family Leave
StoryNovember 12, 2015
Joseph Stiglitz
Nobel Prize-winning economist, Columbia University professor and chief economist for the Roosevelt Institute. His new book is called Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy: An Agenda for Growth and Shared Prosperity.
Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz talks about three presidential contenders: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. "The question is whether the United States is rich enough to be able to make sure that everyone has a basic right to healthcare, family leave, parental, you know, sick leave—we are exceptional—whether we are a society that can tolerate—that should tolerate the levels of inequality that we have," Stiglitz said. "I think Bernie Sanders is right about that."
StoryAug 27, 2018Sanders Backers Win Major Reforms as Democratic Nat'l Committee Votes to Limit Superdelegate Power
AMY GOODMAN: We return to my conversation with Nobel Prize-winning economist Joe Stiglitz, author of Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy: An Agenda for Growth and Shared Proseperity. I asked him about the 2016 presidential race and began by playing Stiglitz a clip of Republican contender Donald Trump calling Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders a "communist" and a "maniac."
DONALD TRUMP: I watched Hillary last night with "We're going to give this, we're going to give that, we're going to give that." She—the poor woman! She's got to give everything away, because this maniac, that was standing on her right, is giving everything away, so she's following. That's what's happening. This socialist-slash-communist, OK? Nobody wants to say it.
AMY GOODMAN: That's Donald Trump on Bernie Sanders. Explain what Bernie Sanders represents.
JOSEPH STIGLITZ: First, let me comment. You know, the great irony of that is he's talking about Bernie Sanders and Hillary's putting in programs that don't add up, and he's called for a tax cut, aimed at the rich, that is $1 trillion short. So you talk about somebody who is—
AMY GOODMAN: And he said he'd make the hedge fund guys pay.
JOSEPH STIGLITZ: That's right. No, that's one good thing that he's done. And the irony is that the hedge fund guys are taxed at a lower rate than people who are actually working for a living. It's one of the real, you might say, anomalies of our tax system, one that is actually very costly to our economy not just in terms of lost revenue, but induces our best students—my best students—to go into finance, into speculation, and we're wasting our most valuable resource, I think—our human resources.
AMY GOODMAN: When, instead, you would like to see them—
JOSEPH STIGLITZ: Go into research, go into creating productive firms, you know, strengthening the productive capacity of our economy. You know, the fact that such a large fraction of our most talented young people go into finance is a worry. It should be a worry to—you know, we've really lost a balance.
Now, to come back to Bernie and Hillary, you know, what they're both saying is, really, points that we raise in Rewriting the Rules. They're saying it's not—these are not giveaways. We're saying something is wrong with the way our economy is working. The fact that at the bottom, minimum wage is as low as it was 45 years ago, a half-century ago, says something. An economy that—you know, we're supposed to—we've had technological change, globalization, all these things which are supposed to make our economy better and stronger, and yet, at the bottom, they haven't had a pay raise in a half-century. It's not a living wage. So, that's all he's calling for. You know, he's calling for a living wage for ordinary Americans. And they're both going for—we're a wealthy-enough economy that we should be able to provide the basic requisites of a middle-class lifestyle for all Americans.
AMY GOODMAN: Earlier this month, Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders was asked if a socialist could ever win a general election in the United States. This was in the debate.
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: Well, we're going to win, because, first, we're going to explain what democratic socialism is. And what democratic socialism is about is saying that it is immoral and wrong that the top one-tenth of 1 percent in this country own almost 90 percent, almost—own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent; that it is wrong today, in a rigged economy, that 57 percent of all new income is going to the top 1 percent; that when you look around the world, you see every other major country providing healthcare to all people as a right, except the United States. You see every other major country saying to moms that when you have a baby, we're not going to separate you from your newborn baby, because we are going to have—we are going to have medical and family paid leave like every other country on Earth. Those are some of the principles that I believe in, and I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway, and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people.
AMY GOODMAN: That's Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton weighed in, in the same CNN debate.
HILLARY CLINTON: When I think about capitalism, I think about all the small businesses that were started, because we have the opportunity and the freedom in our country for people to do that and to make a good living for themselves and their families. And I don't think we should confuse what we have to do every so often in America, which is save capitalism from itself. And I think what Senator Sanders is saying certainly makes sense in the terms of the inequality that we have. But we are not Denmark. I love Denmark. We are the United States of America, and it's our job to rein in the excesses of capitalism so that it doesn't run amok and doesn't cause the kind of inequities that we're seeing in our economic system.
AMY GOODMAN: So that's Hillary Clinton. You advise Hillary Clinton?
JOSEPH STIGLITZ: I talk to her, yes.
AMY GOODMAN: So, her response—"We're not Denmark"—as a put-down to Bernie Sanders?
JOSEPH STIGLITZ: Well, it's a fact we are not Denmark. But the question is whether the United States is rich enough to be able to make sure that everyone has a basic right to healthcare, family leave, parental, you know, sick leave—we are exceptional—whether we are a society that can tolerate—that should tolerate the levels of inequality that we have. I think Bernie Sanders is right about that. And I think that we—Hillary is right that one of the strengths of America should be that we can give opportunity for small businesses. Actually, Denmark and Norway do that, as well. So, what I would say is that Bernie is absolutely right that providing the basic necessities of a middle-class society should be the right of everybody in our country.
