The Protocol Support Organization (PSO) will be a consensus-based advisory body within the ICANN framework.
The PSO will establish a "Protocol Council" and host an annual open meeting (known as the "General Assembly" (described below)).
Arrangements regarding the PSO are to be reflected in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among ICANN and a group of open international Internet related standards development organizations (SDOs). SDOs must satisfy a set of objective criteria before they can be considered for membership. (see Appendix A) After ICANN has accepted a proposal for an ICANN PSO, including the SDO criteria, a meeting, open to all SDOs that believe they meet the criteria, will be held to develop the MOU.
All existing MOU signatories must agree to the admission of new signatories. Rejected applicants can appeal to the ICANN Board where a 2/3rds majority can override such a rejection if the board finds the SDO meets the criteria.
i Appointment of ICANN Directors.
The Protocol Council will conduct an open call for nominations for any open PSO seats on the ICANN board. Each SDO signatory to the MOU is entitled to nominate candidates by procedures of its own choosing. Additionally, nominations from the public at large should be allowed under conditions to be defined by the Protocol Council.
The Protocol Council will select the PSO nominees to the ICANN board from among these nominees by a means of its own choosing.
ii Qualifications of ICANN Directors.
No more than 2 PSO-nominated Directors may come from the same geographic region.
The Protocol Council will advise the Board of ICANN on matters referred to the Protocol Council by the ICANN Board. As per the ICANN By-laws, only matters relating to the assignment of parameters for Internet protocols would be so referred.
In the tradition of the Internet, standards development policies and conflict resolution mechanisms should be created by those institutions most directly involved, without undue interference from centralized bodies.
The ICANN By-laws vest in the PSO the primary responsibility for developing and recommending substantive policies in the area of protocol parameter assignment. The PSO is committed to the proposition that policies for parameter assignments for particular protocols are the responsibility of the individual SDO that developed the protocol. The Protocol Council will be available as needed by the SDOs to develop policies and procedures for conflict resolution between SDOs. (By-laws, New Art. VI, Sec. 2(b)). Any policies must be adopted by consensus of all SDOs. The ICANN Board of Directors will take no addition action regarding disputes between SDOs related to protocol assignment or registration.
The Protocol Council will periodically host an open meeting ("General Assembly") for promoting discussion and receiving input regarding the work of the PSO. A General Assembly meeting will be held at least once per year, and will permit open participation by all interested individuals.
The annual open meeting will be held in conjunction with a major meeting of one of the SDOs that have signed the MOU. (with an effort to hold no 2 consecutive meetings in the same geographic region.
It is expected that the major SDOs within the Internet protocol standards development community will provide the constituency of the General Assembly.
Prior to the annual open meeting, the Protocol Council shall make an open call for nominations to the upcoming vacancies in the Protocol Council. Each SDO signatory to the PSO MOU will be entitled to make nominations for some or all of the vacant seats by a procedure of its own choosing. In the event that there are more nominees than vacancies, an election will be held in which each SDO signatory to the PSO MOU has equal votes.
Protocol Council Members should fairly represent, to the extent reasonable, all constituencies within the member SDOs, including the major technical areas and geographical regions.
All communications between ICANN and the PSO will be made public on the PSO web site. In the event that ICANN requests that a communication be kept confidential, the PSO will honor this request for a fixed period of time not to exceed one year, and then make the communication public.
All discussions of PSO business will be conducted on a publicly-archived mailing list accessible through the PSO web site. The schedule for the PSO meetings will be posted 90 days in advance of the meeting date. The agenda for the Protocol Council and annual open meetings will be posted on the PSO web site at least 30 days before the meetings. The minutes from all PSO meetings will be publicly posted on the PSO web site within 30 days of the meeting.
ICANN will officially recognize the PSO described in this memo as the PSO under the ICANN By-laws Art. 6, Sec. 3.
1) Develop standards and/or specifications for use over the public Internet.
2) Can demonstrate active membership in the IP-related standards and/or specification development process of more than 1000 individuals, if individual memberships are used by the organization, or 100 companies, if corporate memberships are used by the organization.
3) Has been in operation for 3 or more years at the time of their application.
4) Can demonstrate that there is significant deployment of its standards on the Internet.
Open international voluntary standards bodies are defined as international organizations that plan, develop or establish voluntary standards.
An organization shall be considered open and international if its standards and/or specifications development process is open to any person or organization of any nationality on equitable terms. It shall be considered voluntary if it makes no claim to compel use of its standards and specifications.
In either case, to be considered as 'international', the voting (or other "full") membership must include individuals or companies primarily located in at least three different regions and at least two different countries within each of those regions.

If you have appealed your license suspension to the Board of Appeal and the Board has granted you a hardship license or some other relief from the suspension of your license or right to operate in Massachusetts, you cannot begin driving until MassDOT has reinstated your license or right to drive.
After your Board of Appeal hearing, the Board will send a written decision which is called a "finding and order." The Board will mail this finding and order to either you or your lawyer. The Board will not give you a decision over the telephone, as all decisions are required to be in writing.
Upon receipt of the "finding and order," either directly or from your attorney, you must bring the document to a Registry Hearings Officer so that the hearings officer can enter the decision into the RMV computer system. Registry clerks cannot enter Board decisions, as they must be entered by hearings officers.
Once the Board of Appeal decision is entered into the computer, you have to pay any required reinstatement fees as well as any other financial obligations such as unpaid citations. Also, you may have to take driver retraining classes, a written test and/or a road test. Both the Board and the Registry have the ability to place restrictions and requirements on license reinstatements and you cannot legally drive unless and until you have satisfied all of the requirements.
I recently obtained a full license reinstatement for a client who had his license suspended for 7 surchargeable events. Prior to going to the Registry and getting his license reinstated, he was caught driving by the police, stopped, and arrested. He was charged with operating after suspension, which is a criminal offense which will trigger a new license suspension if he is convicted. Also, the Registry notified the Board of Appeal that the client was caught operating after suspension and the Board rescinded its order reinstating the client's license and it issued a new finding in order wherein the Board affirmed the 60 day suspension for 7 surchargeable events. This case shows how important it is to follow reinstatement and hardship licensing requirements.


We have only just seen the HTC One M8 released to a number of regions around the world, but the leading smartphone manufacturers are always working on new technology. There is a good chance that next year's HTC One M9 could feature a camera with 4K recording and an optical zoom in tow.
HTC's Symon Whitehorn has been talking to Vodafone in the UK and stated that the company could easily be 4K ready now, but HTC decided to wait until the technology is more widely used amongst the public before implementing it on a smartphone.
He continued by stating that an optical zoom smartphone camera is only 12 to 18 months away, and while the technology has been used before in the market Whitehorn believes the technology needs refining.
The technology is apparently close to reality for the company although Whitehorn believes that the DSLR camera market won't be replaced by smartphone cameras in the short term, but feels that camera makers will eventually create partnerships with smartphone manufacturers.
Do you like the idea of a HTC smartphone with an optical zoom?

Lolita in Japan
Abbas Kiarostami's Like Someone in Love
Alan A. Stone
10 Min read time
From Abbas Kiarostami's Like Someone in Love. / Sundance Selects
Imagine a jealous and angry lover; his childlike girlfriend who is secretly a call girl; and her newest client, an 80-year-old retired professor. Like Someone in Love brings together this unlikely mix of characters. The film is set in Tokyo but was written and directed by the renowned Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, who is apparently in difficulty with the authorities in Tehran and now working outside the country. His previous film, Certified Copy (2010), was made in Italy.
Kiarostami's most celebrated Iranian film, Taste of Cherry (1997), produced conflicting reactions among discerning critics. It was awarded the Palme D'Or, but the late Roger Ebert gave it a decided thumbs down. Like Someone in Love has generated a similar response. Ian Buruma, who as a young man studied and worked in Japanese film, has proclaimed it "the best film ever made by a non-Japanese in Japan." Lest anyone think this stinting praise, he adds, "It is a great movie tout court." Yet Stanley Kauffmann believes Like Someone in Love is a failure and a betrayal of the films "rooted in Iranian culture and a love of it" that made Kiarostami famous.
Kiarostami's earliest films embraced what critics describe as "earnest realism." I take the earnestness to be a result of Kiarostami's on-location depictions of the human condition. The films that earned him this reputation adopted the perspective of children in the villages of northern Iran.
This was partly by necessity. Kiarostami, who had begun his career under the Shah and the regime of Westernization, decided to stay on after the Islamic Revolution. The theocracy was hostile to cinema, and many film houses were burned to the ground during the revolution, one with hundreds of people still in it. Kiarostami and other directors had little financial support. They could not pay actors, work in studios, or deal with sexual or political themes. Shooting on location from the point of view of children, who need not be paid, made his work possible, avoided conflicts with the Islamic censors, and gave films such as his early Koker trilogy a more universal appeal—bleak but not existentially empty. Many Iranians saw Kiarostami as embracing the theocracy and its censorship regime.
But his poetic sensibility, painterly eye, and extraordinary artistic gifts—he began his career as a painter and is also a published poet—saved him from sentimentality and made his reputation among cinephiles outside of Iran. In their judgment, his body of work, particularly his films of the 1990s, is among the world's best. However, much of what viewers saw as avant-garde innovation may also be seen as making a virtue of necessity: the mix of documentary-style footage with fiction, landscape filmed without actors, entire movies set in automobiles as they moves around Tehran, and actors improvising with little or no script or direction.
Iranian cineastes point to his film Ten (2002) as a landmark in Kiarostami's career and an important commentary on the situation of women in Tehran. The film can be read in many ways: as stretching the boundary of avant-garde filmmaking, protesting the status of women, or adapting to limitations as one goes along. I think it is all of the above.
But Ten did not begin that way. Kiarostami's art does not begin with a grand design that is then brought to fulfillment. As he unabashedly claims, "I don't like to engage in telling stories." Rather, to use Claude Lévi-Strauss's term, Kiarostami is a bricolage artist who makes do with what he has and changes course as necessary. Kiarostami tells us that Ten started as a story about a psychologist who must meet clients in her car while her office is being remodeled. The audience would listen in on the intimate, private conversations of a therapist and her patients as they moved through the busy streets of Tehran. But Kiarostami soon abandoned the psychologist character, replacing her with a divorced woman speaking to various passengers. Most important are her son, who does a lot of complaining, and a prostitute. When Kiarostami could not hire an actual prostitute to play the role, he hired an actress, who is never seen. We only hear her voice as she tells her story. Two digital cameras mounted inside the car create a documentary feel.
Recently Kiarostami's films have become more philosophical, and, judging by his latest two, he has taken to questioning conventional understandings of human relationships and exploring their mystery and morality.
Kiraostami's characters are not struggling to survive; they are sophisticated, even decadent Westerners.
In Certified Copy his strategy for engaging the audience in this inquiry is to obscure the nature of the relationship between his characters. An English author comes to an Italian town on a book tour. He explains to his listeners his thesis, which holds that copies of works of art have value and that originals are in fact copies of something too. Elle (Juliette Binoche), an antiques dealer in the audience, has bought several of the author's books and is eager for him to sign them. She offers to show him the sights of Tuscany. We don't know if they've just struck up a casual acquaintance and might have an affair, or whether they were once married and divorced and are now getting back together for a fling. We have no idea what they owe each other or what they want from each other as they journey through the countryside.
The couple's visit to a popular shrine thought to give newlyweds good luck brings Kiarostami's questions about relationships to the surface. The faith in true love that young people evince as they have their pictures taken at the shrine contrasts sharply with the uncertainty and ambiguity of the middle-aged couple's relationship. Kiarostami leaves the relationship questions unanswered. Viewers either left the theater pondering his questions or annoyed by them.
Clearly we are a long way from Kiarostami's early work, and he is a long way from the villages of northern Iran. These characters are not struggling to survive; they are sophisticated, even decadent Westerners wondering what it all means. It is as though Kiarostami has left the theocratic world of Iran and entered the amoral Nabokovian West.
Like Someone in Loveis, I think, Kiarostami's version of Lolita, exploring the mystery and morality of the relationship between Akiko (Rin Takanashi), a Japanese call girl, and Takashi (Tadashi Okuno), a retired professor, widower, and first-time client who is old enough to be her grandfather. Akiko is a college student by day, and no hardened sex worker. Quite the contrary, she is a confused, vulnerable young woman. She has come to Tokyo from a village in the hinterlands, and she distributes flyers with her picture and phone number to attract clients.
How much of this Tokyo sex landscape—flyers, pimps, and respected clients—represents Japan's subculture of women serving men's sexual wants and how much springs from Kiarostami's imagination is difficult to tell. The first scene is full of his cinematic trademarks: the interiors of cars, stretches of documentary-like footage, reflections in windows, inventive diegetic sound, imaginative camera placement.
The film begins with a fixed camera looking into a café. We hear the ambient sounds of the place, and we hear Akiko's voice, but she is not in the frame. Akiko is being questioned and berated on the phone by her would-be fiancé, Noriaki (Ryo Kase), who is the typical jealous, possessive man drawn to a woman of dubious repute. A type right out of Freud's casebooks, he is simultaneously besotted with Akiko and preoccupied with the possibility of her infidelity. Noriaki has good reason to worry, yet he apparently does not know or does not want to believe that Akiko is a call girl. He wants to marry her. "I'm not lying to you," Akiko whines. And of course she is. She moves into the frame and we watch her, still through the fixed camera, as she tries to deal with her abusive, threatening lover. Her pimp, a friendly older man, works out of this café. He has a special client for her that night, a man he respects: his former professor.
Akiko has even more on her plate than an angry boyfriend and a new client. Her grandmother has unexpectedly come to Tokyo and has been at the train station all day waiting for Akiko to meet her. The grandmother has seen one of Akiko's flyers and is worried about her beloved granddaughter. Most of these complications become clear only in the course of the film. But for now the pimp steps outside the café to answer a phone call. We see his hazy image reflected in the window through which we see Akiko still seated at her table. Then the pimp's reflection moves across the window until it envelops her.
Akiko reluctantly gets into a taxi, and we watch her as the sights and neon lights of Tokyo are reflected in the cab's windows—another cinematic tour de force. On her cell phone, she plays pleading messages from her grandmother sent over the course of the day, now compressed into minutes. We see deeper into Akiko's quandary. She is alone and adrift in the dangerous world of Tokyo. At her request the taxi drives past the train station, and we catch a glimpse of her grandmother still waiting in front of the statue, as promised in her last phone messages. Akiko shrinks back into her seat.
When she arrives at her new client's apartment, it is, to say the least, a tense meeting. Takashi, the professor, is preparing for an erotic adventure backed by the music of his youth, Ella Fitzgerald's dulcet jazz version of "Like Someone in Love." He intends to serve her dinner and wine. He is obviously trying to set a mood familiar from his romantic past, but he does not know what he is getting into.
When Akiko finally comes out of her shell of awkwardness and embarrassment what emerges is a tired child who heads for the bedroom—we see only clothes flitting to the floor. When the professor looks in, Akiko seems already asleep. We do not know how the erotic adventure turned out, whether the client was served. Kiarostami cuts to the next morning when the professor, now behaving like a kindly grandfather with time on his hands, offers to drive Akiko back to her college.
There they are confronted by the enraged and bewildered Noriaki, who has been waiting for Akiko. The professor, with surprising aplomb and without actually lying, allows Noriaki to assume that he is Akiko's grandfather. Intimidation becomes ingratiation, and soon Noriaki, who runs an automobile shop, is fixing the professor's Volvo free of charge. The professor, aplomb intact, returns to his book-filled apartment in the suburbs. However, in his grandfatherly role he has told Akiko to call him if she is ever in trouble. It doesn't take long before he hears from her.
Noriaki discovers that the professor was not Akiko's grandfather and predictably beats his fiancée. She calls Takashi, who drives back into Tokyo to rescue her. Has he become her grandfather? Is the widower infatuated with the young woman who served his sexual wants? Has the lonely old man found a companion? Perhaps all of these: the mystery of relationships.
As the professor tends to Akiko's bruised face, Noriaki comes up the stairs shouting. He pounds on the apartment door, interrupting the professor's compassionate care. Having failed to gain entry, the enraged lover retreats to the street and creates a scene, screaming up at the professor's window and accusing him of lying. In fact the professor never lied, and to our knowledge he may be innocent of the sexual encounter of which Noriaki accuses him. There is a brief moment of silence as the professor looks out the window hoping the coast is clear. Then again we hear the scream, "liar," and a rock comes crashing through the window. The credits roll. We can suppose that however the professor imagined his relationship to Akiko, all that has changed. So, perhaps, has his peaceful existence as a retired scholar. But Kiarostami refuses to tell us how it all turns out. Like Someone in Love ends not with questions but with a take-it-or-leave-it demand that we finish the movie ourselves. I am not sure whether that is art or a failure of imagination.

Eh... not much updating here... But now I added some links to the left list, mopobattles/battles/mastercup. Please check them (though mastercup is already over).
My music -page is now ready. There are now 41 pieces. Please listen to them and give feedback to me. I also did the stuff -page and added some links to it. Maybe there will be more stuff some day... Now there is nothing more than links and e-mail me -section. So, my pages seem to be ready now! That short making time (3 days) can be explained by that fact that I had done for example my music -page already to my finnish pages and now I just had to copy it to this page.
I did the Elasto Mania section. There are now totally 80 levels to play. All of them are ready to be downloaded. I have driven a base time to every one of them, and they are just waiting to be beaten. I also did the other games -page. Currently it includes only Colin McRae Rally 2 times.
I started to do these english homepages. I have been doing my finnish homepage for a couple of weeks, but now I will give time to this page. First of all I designed the zebra-image at the top of the page. Then I tried to find appropriate colours for the page. After that I made the links at the left side of the page and did all the other designs. Now only the content is missing... I tested this page with different resolutions. This page is best wiewed in 1024 x 768 or 1152 x 864.

db2 "update tsmdb1.sd_pool_clusters set physoccupancy=1 where physoccupancy=0"
You should now see the AUDITOCC table is populated.
We setup a new Spectrum Protect instance with a Directory Container Storage Pool and when we went to gather storage data for billing purposes we discovered that the AUDITOCC table in the database showed no storage data. The first troubleshooting step was to check to see if AUDITSTORAGE option was set to YES which it was. Then we reran the AUDIT LICENSE command to have Spectrum Protect audit the storage and after completing there was still no data in the AUDITOCC table. I contacted IBM and asked for support to tell me why I had no data in my AUDITOCC table and was met with level 1 support unable to provide an answer (which was probably due to them not knowing my servers full configuration). When the PMR was passed up to the chain to level 2 support and they reviewed the log details I sent in, they responded that DIRECTORY CONTAINER storage pools do not provide occupancy data to the AUDITOCC table. To gather the required data that the AUDITOCC table normally would provide you have to run the GENERATE DEDUPSTATS command.
Please note that there is nothing in the Spectrum Protect manuals that will inform you that DIRECTORY CONTAINER storage pools do not provide AUDITOCC table data. IBM Level 2 support has opened a PMR requesting that the documentation be updated for the QUERY AUDITOCC command. I am not sure if you can use a * with the node name and have GENERATE DEDUPSTATS but will be trying it today and will let you all know the results in the comments below.

Surveillance finds pancreatic ductal carcinoma in situ at resectable stage
by Frontline Medical News April 25, 2016
FROM THE JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY
Surveillance of CDNK2A mutation carriers detected most pancreatic ductal carcinoma in situ (PDAC) at a resectable stage, while the surveillance benefit was lower for those with familial prostate cancer.
Among 178 CDKN2A mutation carriers, PDAC was detected in 13 (7.3%), 9 of whom underwent surgery. Compared with previously reported rates of 15%-20% for symptomatic PDAC, this 70% resection rate represents a substantial increase. The 5-year survival rate of 24% for screen-detected PDAC was higher than 4%-7% reported for symptomatic sporadic PDAC. Among individuals with familial prostate cancer (FPC), 13 of 214 individuals (6.1%) underwent surgery, but with a higher proportion of precursor lesions detected, just four high-risk lesions (1.9% of screened FPC patients) were removed.
Whether surveillance improved prognosis for FPC families was difficult to determine, according to the investigators. The yield of PDAC was low at 0.9%, as was the yield of relevant precursor lesions (grade 3 PanIN and high-grade IPMN) at 1.9%.
"However, if surgical removal of multifocal grade 2 PanIN and multifocal BD-IPMNs is regarded as beneficial, the diagnostic yield increases to 3.7% (eight of 214 patients), and surveillance of FPC might also be considered effective," wrote Dr. Hans Vasen, professor in the department of gastroenterology and hepatology at the Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands, and colleagues. "The value of surveillance of FPC is still not clear, and the main effect seems to be prevention of PDAC by removal of" precursor lesions, they added (J Clin Oncol. 2016 Apr 25. doi: 10.1200/JCO.2015.64.0730).
The retrospective evaluation of an ongoing prospective follow-up study included 411 high-risk individuals: 178 with CDKN2A mutations, 214 with familial pancreatic cancer, and 19 with BRCA1/2 or PALB2 mutations. The study was conducted at three expert centers in Marburg, Germany; Leiden, the Netherlands; and Madrid.
In the BRCA1/2 and PALB2 mutation cohort, one individual (3.8%) with a BRCA2 mutation developed PDAC and underwent surgery; 17 months after the surgery this patient died of liver metastasis. Two others underwent surgery for cystic lesions and are in good health at 10 and 21 months after surgery.
In the cohort of CDKN2A mutation carriers, the mean age at the start of surveillance was 56 years (range, 37-75) and the mean follow-up time was 53 months (range, 0-169): in total, 866 MRIs and 106 endoscopic ultrasounds were conducted. In the FPC group, the mean age was 48 years (range, 27-81), and the mean follow up was 2.8 years (range, 0-10.8): 618 MRIs and 402 endoscopic ultrasounds were conducted. Among BRCA1/2 and PALB2 mutation carriers, the mean age was 52.6 years (range, 25-70), and the mean follow up was 32.7 months (range, 1-119).

Moving an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch can be annoying, especially if you're sure it's somewhere, but not in your hands. If you have "My iPhone / iPad / Apple Watch Active" turned on, ask Siri to find it for you.
You may already know that you can find an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch using the Find My iPhone app. But overall, there is a cooler, more frictionless way to do it. Inviting Siri to "find my iPhone" or another device is a quick way to do just that, and Siri can even ping the missing device so you can find it more easily.
If you find it even easier to own also a HomePod, because you can do everything just like any other Siri killing device. It's a bit magical when you're shouting for a HomePod and pinging your iPhone like crazy behind the sofa cushions.
For this to work, you're & # 39; You need to have "My iPhone / iPad / Find my Apple Watch" enabled during setup. If you assume, you can find one of these devices using your voice using Siri.
Call Siri as usual with the "Find my x" command and replace x to get the ball rolling the device you are looking for.
If you have multiple devices, eg. For example, if you have two iPads, Siri will ask you to confirm the device you are looking for. If you have several family members, you can even ask Siri to find the device. Just add the name of the request. Siri has to do just that on Find Rachel's iPhone.
Once Siri has identified the device to be identified, you will be asked if you want to play a sound from it. Answer yes to initiate the ping.
When your ping starts, your device plays a sound. This will continue until it is aborted on the device itself or until it expires.
You can also talk to her directly with the voice command. Just say something like, "Hey Siri, tell me a joke," and she makes sounds.

Welcome to Pure FX's latest update of the pound to New Zealand dollar interbank exchange rate!
Sterling strengthens versus the kiwi! The pound to New Zealand dollar interbank exchange rate has hit 1.9174 today. This is its highest in over 1 week, or since January 29th.
By contrast, back on February 6th, sterling was as low as 1.8768 against the kiwi. So it's since risen by +2.16%, or over +4 cents!
To put this into context for you, at today's interbank exchange rate, £250,000 would be worth NZ$479,350. That's +NZ$10,150 more than on February 6th!
So if you're a UK citizen buying a property in Auckland or Wellington, this may help you to transfer money to New Zealand.
The pound to New Zealand dollar interbank exchange rate has reached this 1-week high, because New Zealand's unemployment rate has risen.
Kiwi joblessness climbed by +0.3% to 4.3% between October and December last year, said Statistics New Zealand (SNZ) yesterday.
This is well above financial market forecasts for a rise to +4.1%. Moreover, New Zealand's labour force participation rate also fell, by -0.2% to 70.9%.
This tells us that more New Zealand citizens left the job market late last year. So this data has strengthened the pound versus New Zealand dollar!
Furthermore, sterling has also jumped versus the kiwi dollar, because with New Zealand unemployment rising, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) now looks less likely to hike interest rates sooner.
According to financial markets, the RBNZ will now wait until mid-2020 to lift borrowing costs above their current 1.75%. This is from previous estimates for a hike in the 2nd half of 2019.
This is because, with fewer New Zealanders in work, the central bank may keep interest rates low, to support job creation and the economy.
Thus, this has boosted the pound to New Zealand dollar rate!
Moreover, the pound to New Zealand dollar interbank exchange rate has touched this 1-week high, because New Zealand's finance minister has warned that New Zealand is vulnerable to a slowdown in the global economy.
Speaking recently, kiwi finmin Grant Robertson warned that "there is a heightened sense of risk from [global conditions]" for New Zealand.
These include China's slowing economy, US President Donald Trump's trade war with Beijing, plus the economy slowdown in the Eurozone.
This may weigh on New Zealand's economy, thereby lifting sterling versus the kiwi!

You'll get a highly competitive pound to New Zealand dollar exchange rate for your money transfer!

How does hanafuda work?
The Hanafuda cards have 12 unique suits each corresponding to the 12 months of the year. There are 4 cards per suit and point values vary. But no matter what the card, it will belong to one of these 12 suits from January to December, and each suit is represented by a unique plant or flower.
How many cards do you deal in hanafuda?
Most hanafuda games involve three players, who are dealt seven cards in each hand. During the deal six other cards are placed in the centre of the playing area and constitute the board; the remaining cards constitute the stock. A complete game consists of 12 hands, or months.
How do you read hanafuda cards?
For example, hana in Japanese can mean either flower or nose. So, Hanafuda can be read as "flower-cards" or "nose-cards." When Hanafuda cards were banned by the government, a person might go into a shop that sold the cards under the table and tap his nose to indicate he wanted to buy some cards.
Why was hanafuda banned?
Each time gambling with a card deck of a particular design became too popular, the government banned it, which then prompted the creation of a new design. This cat-and-mouse game between the government and rebellious gamblers resulted in the creation of increasingly abstract and minimalist regional patterns (地方札).
Does Nintendo still make hanafuda cards?
Nintendo's Hanafuda cards became so well known across Japan that Nintendo eventually started to develop other classic Japanese and Western card games. … Today they still produce a few Hanafuda card decks including the popular Daitouryou variant, which features the portrait of Napoleon.
What Hanafuda means?
The word "hanafuda" means "flower cards," and many of the cards feature floral illustrations.
Is Hanafuda popular?
So, Hanafuda was invented to combine the numbered playing cards with traditional Japanese designs and gameplay. The games continued for several decades longer, but eventually lost some of the popularity that they had enjoyed when playing had been seen as taboo.
How many cards are in Hanafuda?
Hanafuda, (Japanese: "flower cards"), deck of 48 cards divided into 12 suits of four cards. Each suit is named for a month of the year and pictures a flower identified with that month.
What do hanafuda symbolize?

Dsmitryj Abascheu (; * 22. Januar 1991 in Gubacha, Region Perm, Russische SFSR, Sowjetunion) ist ein ehemaliger weißrussischer und russischer Biathlet.

Werdegang
Dsmitryj Abascheu bestritt sein erstes internationales Rennen 2012 in Ridnaun im Rahmen des IBU-Cup und erreichte als 99. eines Sprints gerade die zweistelligen Ränge. Bei seinen folgenden Teilnahmen konnte er sich stetig verbessern. Zum Auftakt der Saison 2013/14 gewann er in Idre als Sprint-36. erstmals Punkte. Erste internationale Meisterschaft wurden die Biathlon-Europameisterschaften 2014 in Nové Město na Moravě. Im Einzel lief Abascheu auf einen 17. Rang und erreichte damit sein bislang bestes Resultat in einem internationalen Rennen. Zudem wurde er 36. in Sprint und Verfolgung sowie mit Aljaksej Abromtschyk, Maksim Ramanouski und Raman Jaljotnau als Schlussläufer mit der Staffel Sechster. In der Folgesaison wurde Abascheu in Ruhpolding erstmals im Biathlon-Weltcup eingesetzt, mit der Staffel ging es auch sofort unter die besten Zehn. Seine erste Medaille gewann der Weißrusse an der Seite von Uladsimir Tschapelin, Dmitri Djuschew und Jury Ljadau im Staffelrennen der EM 2015. Außerdem durfte er bei den Weltmeisterschaften in Kontiolahti starten, mit der Staffel ging es erneut unter die besten 10.

Im Januar 2016 feierte Abascheu auch sein erstes Einzelpodest im IBU-Cup, in Nové Město na Moravě ging es hinter Fabien Claude und Timofei Lapschin auf Platz 3. Zudem lief er im Sprint von Canmore mit Position 29 erstmals in die Punkteränge des Weltcups. Seine zweite Weltmeisterschaft absolvierte der 26-jährige 2017 in Hochfilzen, mit Rang 28 gab es im Einzel eine weitere persönliche Bestleistung, die bis zum Karriereende bestand. Nach einer weiteren kompletten Saison, die er teils im Weltcup, teils im IBU-Cup bestritt, folgte im Januar 2018 die letzte EM-Teilnahme. Dort erreichte Abascheu im Einzel mit Rang sechs seine zweitbeste Karriereleistung, beendete allerdings in Folge der Europameisterschaften zunächst seine Sportlerlaufbahn. Drei Jahre später startete Abascheu für sein Geburtsland Russland bei den Sommerbiathlon-Weltmeisterschaften in Nové Město na Moravě und platzierte sich in allen drei Rennen um Rang 20. Dies war sein bis heute letzter internationaler Auftritt.

Mexico Club Store Launches Frozen Idaho® Fries
Retailer Soriana's 34-store City Club chain in Mexico is now distributing branded frozen french fry products imported from an Idaho® potato processor.
The first shipments of straight-cut, shoestring and crinkle-cut Idaho® fries were delivered to City Club in mid-November, the culmination of discussions that began at the 2016 Expo ANTAD & Alimentaria Mexico in March in Guadalajara. The Idaho Potato Commission assisted in sharing information about licensing and promotions, and verified the final french fry product design legality.
Spud Trucks Hit the Streets In International Markets
Idaho® potato branded trucks are driving awareness of the premium tuber in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and El Salvador.
Delivery trucks in these markets sport Idaho® potato-themed wraps during their regular runs, gaining added visibility for the brand and its availability in local stores and restaurants.
Major China Online Store Adds Dehydrated Product
JD.com, the second-largest e-commerce retailer in China and partner of Walmart online stores in that country, added a dehydrated Idaho® potato product after discussions initiated by the Idaho Potato Commission during the Governor of Idaho's trade mission to China this fall.
"By introducing key prospects and customers to the governor, who was gracious enough to take pictures with everyone who asked, we began the process of a relationship that leads to business success in China," says Seth Pemsler, vice president, Retail/International, IPC.
Learn how to capitalize on the growing international markets for Idaho® potatoes at the Potato Export Workshop on Jan. 19, 2017, hosted by the Idaho Potato Commission, Idaho State Department of Agriculture and Idaho State University Research Center.

Farmer slain in North Darfur abduction
CEPO asks why only one female in NPTC
A civil society activist has accused peace parties of violating some provisions spelled out in the new peace accord.
This includes the 35 percent of women representation in all the institutions.
According to the Revitalized agreement, 35% participation of women shall be observed in all appointments to pre-transitional period and the executive during the establishment of the revitalized government.
In September last year, women leaders said the pre-transition committee formed by President Salva Kiir had not met the 35% women representation stipulated in the revitalized agreement.
Only one woman, Awut Deng Achuil, was appointed to the 10-member NPTC.
"We have also seen lack of commitment to implement the agreed upon affirmative action of 35 percent for women in the mechanisms established for the implementation of the agreement," said Edmund Yakani, the executive director of CEPO.
He said the implementation of the pre-transitional period is slow.
"We have seen a progress in establishing the institutions, but we have seen a slow move in translating the mandate of those institutions into practically taking actions," he pointed out.
However, he said this should not hinder the establishment of the next government in May this year.
"We are….appealing that we don't want to see any postponement of the kick-off of the transition period; it must kick-off as per spirit and the letter of the agreement."

ALBUM REVIEW: THE OGHAM STONES- 'One, Two Feck You' (2016)
Album Review, Traditional, USA March 21, 2016 Leave a comment
A bunch of fun-lovin', hard-drinkin' lovers of Irish music that are gonna inspire you to have a good time. You'll sing and dance and, if not careful, you just might learn something too…
The Ogham Stones formed back in 2010 in Lancaster in South Central Pennsylvania one of the oldest towns in the United States when a local Irish-American bartender finally had enough of Lancaster being the only town in the USA not to have a kick ass celtic-punk band. Like most of the East Coast of America the Irish are in plenty of supply and Irish culture flourishes among a people extremely proud of where their roots are from. Notable for its large rural Amish community (those people from the movie 'Witness') the urban areas were largely settled by Irish, German, Dutch, Italian and the English. So it was with the town crying out for a local celtic-punk band they could wear the t-shirt of! John the eventual singer of The Ogham Stones approached a piper he knew from playing out in the towns bars and asked if she wanted to start a band and the foundation's were now laid to rope in a few more local Lancaster musicians and here we now are.
Numerous live shows later all over the East Coast and further afield it was time to get something down on record and so One,Two Feck You arrived on our doorstep and very pleased it did we are too. Taking their name from standing stones that contain the earliest known form of writing in Ireland. Thought to date from before the 4th century AD the Ogham alphabet is made up of a series of strokes along or across a line. The Ogham alphabet was read from the left hand side bottom up, across the top and if need be down the other side. It is important as it shows that the Irish and their fellow Celt's were far advanced of others in Europe in their use of language.
The Ogham alphabet.
So you got a seven-piece Irish American celtic rock and punk band with a keen sense of history but the thing is are they any good and the answer by friend is not blowing in the wind it is that they are F**KING brilliant! From the first bars of wonderfully played bagpipes on the opening track 'Minstrel Boy/Cadence To Arms' you get the feeling that this band are in it to enjoy themselves. You'll recognise it of course from The Dropkick Murphys debut album Do Or Die but The Ogham Stones give it their own treatment and superb it is too.
They follow this up with their own version of the traditional Irish song 'Star Of The County Down'. Now this has been covered by a LOT of bands but lucky for us they don't take the easy route and inject enough of themselves into it to stop it being just another bland cover. Something I don't think would be possible for them to do. It reminds me mostly of The Lagan's version with fiddle , tin whistle and electric guitar driving it along with a few metal rockouts!
The only fault I could find with One, Two F**k You is that their is not enough of The Ogham Stones original material. I say that as the best songs here are the ones not part of the 'traditional' scene and 'The World Is Full Of Bastards' is a fine example of this. Hilarious lyrics, great female vocals and superb musicians with a song guaranteed to get you singing and jigging along.
"Eh, the lad was oh-so-generous
Much more than you would think
He didn't have a license
But he still drove me to drink
And I had no insecurities
So he gave me some of his
But I didn't need his sorrow, man
I'm Irish as it is"
Written and performed by local novelty act Mary Prankster it sure gets the album moving and this is swiftly followed by another non-trad song and again 'Wild Winds Of Misfortune' is another cracker. By fellow 'Lancky' band Vinegar Creek Constituency they again mix it up and give it the Stones treatment. John's vocals give it a real celtic feel and its the fiddle that dominates again before they lay their cards on the table and give us a couple of songs from the heart.
'The Foggy Dew/Come Out Ye Black'n'Tans' come straight from the massive book of Irish rebel songs and are well known in every corner of the globe among the Irish diaspora. 'The Foggy Dew' is the most famous song about the Easter Rising of 1916 and this year is of course the 100th anniversary of the rising where a small band of Irishman rose up to take on the British empire. The Rising was smashed and the leaders executed but it ignited a spark that just three years later would see the entire Irish nation rise up to take up the fight for freedom. This soon morphs into 'Come out Ye' and if ever their was a trad song that was suited to celtic-punk then this is it. Fast as feck and with a brilliant chorus that is impossible to sing without your fist waving in the air. They return to be standard fare next with a live version of 'The Wild Rover' recorded last Christmas in McCleary's Public House in Lancaster. John's vocals sound great and its lovely and clear and leads us nicely onto the album's final track 'The Mermaid Song'. The band get together and give it their all in a acapella style.
The Ogham Sones at McClearys. L to R: Flavor- vocals, vibraslap, bodhran. Mollie- violin, vocals. Amanda- bagpipes, accordion, tin whistle, vocals. James- acoustic and electric guitars. Shawn- drums, vocals. Neal- bass. Matt- mandolin, banjo, guitars.
So much to recommend here but also a couple of things I would like to add. With such an amazing piper I would have liked to hear a lot more of them also you're a fantastic band so you shouldn't be afraid to give your own material a chance. Overall a fantastic album only seven tracks listed and clocking in at just under 25 minutes they have certainly captured the energy and passion of a live set here. A fantastic bunch of talented musicians with a knowledge of the history of both Irish music and culture The Ogham Stones have nailed their own sound and with a few more of their own songs have got the ability to get into the top tier of the celtic punk scene.

With AVRs don't go by the RMS listing. Most brands hide the fact that the RMS rating on entry to mid level AVRs are usually in 2-channel mode and will be much lower in multi channel mode. A true multi channel all channels driven at say around 50 to 60 watt RMS will need a very very hefty transformer.
Generally Yamaha AVRs are a bit shy on the bass front, Pioneers traditionally have more slam. Denon and Marantz are from the same stable.
AVRs are ok for casual music listening. The Yamaha and Marantz are ok in pure direct mode.
If budget is a limitation, I would suggest pick a AV Receiver that is 3 to 4 year old model so that you can go higher up in the series of whichever brand you choose.
In movie delivery power maters a lot.
Went to a store nearby home in Kolkata called Harmonies Audio. It's a 2BHK home with two rooms dedicated for audition. He was selling all the brands but had Pioneer and Denon for audition. Denon 2133 and Pioneer 303.
Pioneer being a 9.2 channel had certainly more power and it blew Denon away without any question. He had an Elac sub and Q Acoustics as 5 channel speaker set. Pioneer sounded clearer and had better surround separation.
I wish to audition an simple HTiB also - just want to see how bad they are compared to a custom setup.
He had a custom room decor to make these sound like a theater, I am going to place these in an open drawing room. Some of the finer details will anyway be lost. I need to keep that thought in mind.
Yesterday - I went to couple of more shops. One is Southern Avenue and another near Behala. Forgot the names.
Both were same in design and structure. 2BHK/3BHK house converter to audio demo. Themselves, they don't have lot of stock and most of the items are on order. Saw a tube amp too - turned my head away before it could impress me. I don't want to go towards that.
Took demo of Denon 2400, Yamaha 685, Pioneer 933, Onkyo RZ620. No Marantz. One of the had Sony, which I missed to audition out of excitement or may be I simply forgot. Anyway.
All of them were good. Nothing that I can saw was thoroughly disappointing. BUT. There is always a but. More I listen to Denon, more it feels that it is hyped. Denon 2400 was the least impressive among all these. Denon and Onkyo were with Polk Audio setup and KEF sub. I forgot to check the speaker config for Yamaha and Pioneer demo. There were lot of speakers lying around and I wasn't sure which he had connected for demo. I did ask and he answered, but I don't know what his answer was.
Denon seemed short on power or not clear enough on mids. Vocals specially. Later on, I was told that Denon has a feature to up the vocals, but I don't know if it was turned on or not. Yamaha 685 was nice, had good power and it felt little sharp. Seemed little EQ tuning will help. Pioneer, and Yamaha were very close, denon was close too - can't pick any one of them just on sheer demo. Pioneer though, did sound very balanced across the range.
That Onkyo RZ620 stood out. It was Jurassic World, the new one, where the girl running with flare in her hand and dinosaur is following her (towards the end). It felt so exciting to feel the thumps and beats of every footstep from that Dinosaur. The lovely clarity and sound that was very fulfilling.
I am beginning to think of Pioneer and Onkyo - both are Japanese and sister brands. Apparently, in 2015, Pioneer was sold to Onkyo. Their sound clarity and power delivery is not something that disappoints. I am very impressed.
How true these demos could be? Isn't it easy for the seller to tune the system to favour the product which he has high commissions on? This is not exactly a TD of a car, isn't it?
What all this demo has done - it has confused me even further. Earlier, I had to chose between Denon/Yamaha/Marantz - now even Onkyo and Pioneer have started showing promising. I am also thinking to audition Sony DN1080 - has great reviews and @Dr.Lakshya already bought it after his research.
Just for you to know, the Chinese company TCL has taken over pioneer and onkyo everywhere in the world except Japan and takes care of the manufacturing.
Also I have read many reviews of pioneer and onkyos failing (seemed to me more faliures than other brands). No personal experience in this regard so do the research before you go for these brands.
I think the comparison would be fair if same speakers were used for all the avrs auditioned.
This is not that easy with different shops having different setups. Thouh I do try to auditon two AVRs with same setup.
What are the brands you had auditioned Doc before finalizing?
Isn't it easy for the seller to tune the system to favour the product which he has high commissions on? This is not exactly a TD of a car, isn't it?
As mentioned by Doc, before zeroing in on a Receiver, do see if you can audition with the same set of speakers. Again am repeating, zero-in on the speakers first and then go with the receiver. The receiver whatever you buy *IF* it couldn't be paired with your speakers, then there's no point.
It felt so exciting to feel the thumps and beats of every footstep from that Dinosaur.
And AVR has nothing to do with those beats and thumpings, its all taken care by the subwoofer which has inbuilt amp. If you liked those beats and thumpings then it means you liked that particular sub, it's placement, and your seating position in that particular room.
Thouh I do try to auditon two AVRs with same setup.
Thats the right way. And it would be better to test different AVRs with flat EQ setting connected with a powerful speaker set which is capable of handling reasonable range of low frequencies. But test the setup without sub. Also turn the LFE bypass setting off on the AVR, means let the low frequency pass to the speakers.
Sorry, if I wasn't clear earlier. I had seen the same Jurassic world scene with both Denon and Onkyo with the same speaker and room setup, only the cables were plugged in from on to anther. And in that aspect the Onkyo had sounded more fulfilling. Again, I didn't check what tune or EQ they were set on to. It could very well be that Onkyo AVR was properly caliberated and Denon wasn't. There is always some agenda with dealers and what they want to push out to consumer.
After quite a handful of research (though, not exhaustive), I am beginning to feel that the variation from one brand to another in SQ and features isn't really that high, unless your start knit-picking.
If you pick models from all these premium brands of a similar price range, they turn out to be almost equal with minor plus/minus, which indicate that you can't actually go wrong with any one them. Doc mentioned of TCL owning Pioneer and Onkyo, which is a news good to know - it doesn't directly indicate anything wrong with the company or brand itself. We'd surprised of how many electronics companies are directly or indirectly owned by Chinese.
1. Denon : It has a premium AVR-X series and normal AVR-S series. I'd feel that entry level AVR-X series will be comparable to a upper-mid level AVR-S series model.
2. Yamaha : AVENTAGE is the premium range, model numbers will be RX-Axxx. Then comes RX-V which is mid range, RX-S is mid range with slim profile and TSR, which is somewhat lower range but comparable.
3. Marantz : SR series is premium and NR series is normal.
4. Onkyo : RZ is premium, NR is mid and SR is value range.
5. Pioneer : Elite SC is top of the tree, Elite VSX - upper mid category, and VSX is the value range.
AVR-X is comparable to AVENTAGE, and thats comparable to SR, RZ and Elite series. Round about. Can't take one to one comparison. Example, AVENTAGE entry model (A680) starts at the mid level of AVR-X and Marantz is placed little higher up.
I have kind of made up my mind to pick ELAC Debut 2.0 6 or 5 series speakers. Sadly, none of the places I could audition them so far. Few more places to cover. Bangalore has better options to audition, not so much in Kolkata. Online reviews, aren't that many but some forums do help.
Online reviews, aren't that many but some forums do help.
When it comes to Speakers. Trust no one except your own ears.
If you pick models from all these premium brands of a similar price range, they turn out to be almost equal with minor plus/minus, which indicate that you can't actually go wrong with any one them.
+100. BUT each one have their own signature which I believe you would've already noticed. Delivery of sound and tonality will vary from one brand to another.
(2) Simplicity is ultimate sophistication, lesser is better, subtraction actually adds more value than addition to a complex activity.
(4) Electronics at home should be as less visible as possible. ensure this before buying stuff, because it just loses 50% value as soon as you pay for it.
(5) Every Hobby or Special Interest centered around devices, wanes after a while, so decide how much money you need to spend on it.
(6) Think, what will happen when there is an issue or equipment needs repairs ? unless it is easy to answer this question, never buy stuff.

DFL Ordinary Assembly resolves extensive adjustments to the licensing process to ease the strain on clubs
Establishment of a "Sports Medicine/Special Match Operations Task Force"
Location-specific production concepts for matches without spectators in development
Suspension of match operations in Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 until 30 April confirmed
Another Ordinary Assembly scheduled for 17 April
31 March 2020 – At the Ordinary Assembly of the DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga today, Tuesday, the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs unanimously resolved to suspend match operations in Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 until at least 30 April in light of the coronavirus and its consequences. In doing so, the Ordinary Assembly, which was held by video conference for the first time, followed a recommendation made by the Executive Committee of the DFL. An extraordinary Assembly was also convened for 17 April.
In today's Ordinary Assembly potential scenarios and possible courses of action for the coming weeks and months were presented. Bearing in mind that developments in the weeks ahead will be shaped by external factors such as the spread of the virus and the political response, the following specific points were resolved:
Package of measures for licensing
As the current suspension of fixtures is presenting all 36 Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs with the same largely unforeseeable challenges through no fault of their own, the provisions of the licensing system are being adapted to the situation temporarily. In particular, this relates to the regulations on economic performance and its examination before and during the season. The aim is to give all of the clubs the time and opportunity to deal with the financial consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and resume regular match operations so that the competitions can be completed on the pitch.
Specifically, the deduction of nine points as a sanction for the initiation of insolvency proceedings has been suspended for the current season, while the points deduction for insolvency in the coming season has been reduced to just three points. In addition, the clubs' liquidity situation will not be examined as part of the pending licensing process for the 2020-21 season. However, the DFL will bring forward its examination of economic performance during the coming season from the end of October to mid-September in order to obtain a realistic overview of the economic situation of the individual clubs as soon as possible on the basis of their financial statements as of 30 June 2020. If the liquidity shortfalls identified in the course of this examination are not resolved, there will also be no points deduction for the respective club; instead, a restriction will be placed on their transfer activities.
The licensing process, a core element of the economic solidity and stability of German professional football, will return to normal for the 2021-22 season.
A medical task force has been established to draw up a concept for the medically justifiable resumption of match operations and training. The task force will begin by centrally documenting all COVID-19 cases at the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs. The commission is also developing a procedure for the strict and independent testing of players and other staff members, including immediately prior to matchdays. In addition, organisational measures for preventing transmission at stadiums (hygiene, disinfection, distancing, etc.) and specific processes for organising matches and training will be defined in close cooperation with external experts and authorities and set out in the form of standardised guidelines.
The task force is headed by Prof. Dr med. Tim Meyer, Medical Director of the Institute of Sports and Preventive Medicine at Saarland University and team doctor for the German national team. Other members include Prof. Dr med. Barbara Gärtner (medical specialist for microbiology and infection epidemiology; Saarland University), PD Dr med. Werner Krutsch (medical specialist for orthopaedics and trauma surgery; FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence, University Medical Centre, Regensburg) and Dr med. Markus Braun (senior physician at the sports medicine department of Klinikum Westfalen, team doctor for Borussia Dortmund and spokesperson for the team doctors in Germany).
Location-specific production concepts for matches without spectators
The Ordinary Assembly on 16 March had already unanimously agreed that it wanted to play the current season to the end by 30 June – including without spectators if absolutely necessary. Insofar as legally permissible and, of course, justifiable from a health perspective, these matches would take place with a minimal workforce in the areas of sports, media and general organisation in the stadiums. The aim is to come to clear agreements within the leagues in order to allow reliable and binding solutions to be presented.

Letters from an American
Give giftGift a subscription
heathercoxrichardson.substack.com
Heather Cox Richardson
And on July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
For all the fact that the congressmen got around the sticky little problem of Black and Indigenous slavery by defining "men" as "white men," and for all that it never crossed their minds that women might also have rights, the Declaration of Independence was an astonishingly radical document. In a world that had been dominated by a small class of rich men for so long that most people simply accepted that they should be forever tied to their status at birth, a group of upstart legislators on the edges of a continent declared that no man was born better than any other.
America was founded on the radical idea that all men are created equal.
What the founders declared self-evident was not so clear eighty-seven years later, when southern white men went to war to reshape America into a nation in which African Americans, Indigenous Americans, Chinese, and Irish were locked into a lower status than whites. In that era, equality had become a "proposition," rather than "self-evident."
"Four score and seven years ago," Abraham Lincoln reminded Americans, "our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." In 1863, Lincoln explained, the Civil War was "testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure."
It did, of course. The Confederate rebellion failed. The United States endured, and Americans began to expand the idea that all men are created equal to include Black men, men of color, and eventually to include women.
But just as in the 1850s, we are now, once again, facing a rebellion against our founding principle, as a few people seek to reshape America into a nation in which certain people are better than others.
The men who signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 pledged their "Lives, [their] Fortunes and [their] sacred Honor" to defend the idea of human equality. Ever since then, Americans have sacrificed their own fortunes, honor, and even their lives, for that principle. Lincoln reminded Civil War Americans of those sacrifices when he urged the people of his era to "take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Words to live by in 2022.
I have shared some version of this every year for the last few years. I wrote this quickly— actually running out the door— a few years ago, and no matter how long I sit at the laptop and fiddle, as I did this evening, I still think the original stands. It is a dark Independence Day in many ways this year, but I hope everyone is able to find at least a little respite, and to recall the whole point of what we're up to in this country.
Chris Buczinsky
"It never crossed their minds that women might also have rights"?! Have you read Abigail Adam's letters to John? I am quite certain it crossed some of their minds!
"I long to hear that you have declared an independancy—and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation."
Angel McIlwain
