#7 of Our Top Stories of 2018: Thousands of New Genes Needed for the Origin of Animals
Evolution News | @DiscoveryCSC
Editor's note: The staff of Evolution News wish you a Happy New Year! We are counting down our top ten stories of 2018. If you haven't done so yet, please take a moment now to contribute to our work in bringing you news and analysis about evolution, intelligent design, and more every day of the year. There is no other voice, no other source of information, like ours. Thank you for your friendship and your support!
The following article was originally published here on June 7, 2018.
Someday we may get tired of being vindicated. But not yet! Günter Bechly recently discussed a new paper that confirmed Stephen Meyer's claims in Darwin's Doubt that arthropods appeared abruptly in the Cambrian explosion, without evolutionary precursors in the Precambrian. Another recent groundbreaking paper in Nature Communications has also provided massive confirmation of Meyer's arguments in the book that new genes were required at the origin of animals.
An Uncontroversial Idea?
Whether you're an evolutionary biologist or a proponent of intelligent design, the notion that the origin of animals required new genes — even numerous new genes — might strike you as uncontroversial. But this claim was strongly challenged by UC Berkeley evolutionary paleontologist Charles Marshall who reviewed Darwin's Doubt in the journal Science. It actually became a centerpiece of the debate between Marshall and Meyer about the Cambrian explosion. (For replies to Marshall, see here, here, here, here, here, and here.) Here's the substance of Marshall's counter-argument, as it was published in Science:
His [Meyer's] case against current scientific explanations of the relatively rapid appearance of the animal phyla rests on the claim that the origin of new animal body plans requires vast amounts of novel genetic information coupled with the unsubstantiated assertion that this new genetic information must include many new protein folds. In fact, our present understanding of morphogenesis indicates that new phyla were not made by new genes but largely emerged through the rewiring of the gene regulatory networks (GRNs) of already existing genes (1).
Marshall didn't stop there. He went further, saying that Meyer has an "idiosyncratic fixation with new protein folds" and "an outdated understanding of morphogenesis" — all due to Meyer's supposedly inaccurate claims that the Cambrian explosion would have required the origin of many new genes. Now this new paper, "Reconstruction of the ancestral metazoan genome reveals an increase in genomic novelty," provides a direct refutation of Marshall's insistence that the origin of animals didn't require lots of new genes.
From the paper:
Recent studies show that many genes typically associated with metazoan functions actually pre-date animals themselves, supporting functional co-option of 'unicellular genes' during the genesis of metazoans.
However, the role of genome novelty in animal origins has not been fully evaluated. We hypothesize that genomic novelty had a major impact in this transition, particularly involving biological functions which are hallmarks of animal multicellularity (gene regulation, signalling, cell adhesion, and cell cycle). Here we apply a comparative genomics approach using sophisticated methods, newly developed programs, and a comprehensive taxon sampling. The reconstruction of the ancestral genome of the last common ancestor of animals shows a set of biological functions similar to other eukaryote ancestors, while revealing an unexpected expansion of gene diversity. These analyses also highlight 25 groups of genes only found in animals that are highly retained in all their genomes, with essential functions linked to animal multicellularity.
They conclude that "many new" genes were necessary during the origin of animals:
Thus, the first animal genome was not only showing a higher proportion of Novel HG [homology groups], but these also perform major multicellular functions in the modern fruit fly genome. The implication is that the transition was accompanied by an increase of genomic innovation, including many new, divergent, and subsequently ubiquitous genes encoding regulatory functions associated with animal multicellularity.
These "homology groups" (HGs) are exactly what they sound like — groups of genes that are similar. A "novel HG" is a group of genes that is found in animals, or particular groups of animals, that do not exist elsewhere. This indicates that these groups of genes were necessary for these animals to exist.
An Open-Access Paper; Check It Out
Just how many novel HGs (and genes) are we talking about? The paper is open access, and readers can easily see that Figure 1 shows that while 1189 HGs are necessary for the origin of Metazoa (multicellular organisms with differentiated tissues), as one moves farther up the animal tree, hundreds if not thousands of additional novel HGs are required:
For the origin of Eumetazoa (sponges + Planulozoa + Bilateria), 494 novel HGs are required.
For the origin of Planulozoa (ctenophores, placozoans, cnidarians + bilaterians), 1201 novel HGs are needed.
For the origin of Bilateria (animals with two-sided symmetry — a left and a right side), an additional 1580 HGs are required! According to Figure 2, about 16 percent of the bilaterian genome entails novel HGs!
No wonder a commentary by the paper's lead author at The Conversation cites "a burst of new genes" associated with the origin of animals:
We discovered the first animal had an exceptional number of novel genes, four times more than other ancestors. This means the evolution of animals was driven by a burst of new genes not seen in the evolution of their unicellular ancestors.
Straightforward Methodology
The methodology used by the paper is relatively straightforward. It compared the genomes of modern-day animals to determine what genes they share in common. This was then used to determine which genes were present in the genomes of the putative common ancestors of various animal groups. By comparing the common genes shared at different levels of the animal taxonomic hierarchy, they were able to determine how many new genes would have to appear at various stages of animal evolution.
Of course the paper's authors assume that these organisms share common ancestors and evolved by Darwinian natural selection — ideas that are challenged by the abrupt appearance of animals in the Cambrian period and by experimental work showing the difficulty of evolving new genes by standard Darwinian mechanisms of random mutation and blind natural selection. However, regarding the paper's claims that many new genes were required during the origin of animals, the reasoning is sound, and it demonstrates conclusively that thousands of new genes would have been necessary for the origin of animals. Marshall was wrong.
It wasn't only in the journal Science that Marshall attacked Meyer on this subject. He said much the same in a radio debate against Meyer. In our "Listener's Guide to the Meyer-Marshall Radio Debate" we explained what happened:
During the debate, Marshall amplified this argument by claiming that Meyer's argument presupposed an outdated "1980s model of the way genes operate" and that his book "confronted a different set of problems that hark back to an older age." According to Marshall, biologists no longer believe that building the diverse forms of Cambrian animals would require evolving new genes (or, at least, many new genes). Instead, Marshall argued, again, that new body plans could be generated by rewiring networks of already-existing genes, especially those which are part of the developmental gene regulatory networks (dGRNs) that control the timing and expression of pre-existing genes during animal development. Marshall pointed out that animals have far fewer genes than we once expected, and that today it is thought that "animals use essentially the same genes, just deployed slightly differently." By changing the deployment of those genes — by rewiring their dGRNs — Marshall thinks new body plans can arise.
It's worth noting that throughout the debate, Meyer didn't concede on Marshall's claims that new genes aren't necessary. Instead, he argued that even if we assume for the sake of the argument that Marshall is right that new genes aren't necessary to build animals, that doesn't solve the problem because rewiring the dGRNs still requires a huge input of information.
Dual Information Problems
In that regard, the new Nature Communications paper shows that Marshall's evolutionary viewpoint faces information problems on two fronts. Figure 2c indicates that by far the largest classes of novel genes in the metazoa are related to generating nucleic acid binding proteins, and transcription factors. This suggests that not only were many new genes needed in the origin of Metazoa, but those new genes had profound influences on gene regulation — i.e., they were involved with rewiring of GRNs.
Thus both Meyer and Marshall were right that dGRNs needed to be wired to build animals — but they were right in the most devastating manner for Darwinism, namely that the rewiring of the dGRNS was mediated by entirely new genes. The paper's demonstration that thousands of new genes would have been required during the origin of animals is nothing short of a spectacular vindication of Meyer's perspective on this question, and a strong falsification of Marshall's viewpoint.

The politics of Tony Benn
Ian Taylor looks at the life and politics of one of the most important and iconic figures of the post-war Labour left
It is difficult to imagine the British labour movement without Tony Benn. All on the left will miss him and the simple arguments he put for socialism. The man once demonised by the press as "the most dangerous in Britain" was declared a "national treasure" at the end. But the abiding animosity towards him shone through some obituaries.
The Sunday Times declared Benn a "charming old poisonous irrelevance". The Guardian suggested "part of the British left he led became…deeply conservative if not actually reactionary". This is as insulting as it is nonsensical: the man spoke on every campaign platform of substance from an Anti Nazi League rally in 1978 to the millions-strong Stop the War march in 2003 and was president of the Stop the War Coalition up to his death.
Benn did not start on the left but spent four decades on it after performing that rare feat for a politician of becoming more left wing as he grew older. Campaigning journalist Paul Foot noted, "Tony Benn is unique. For a century Labour MPs have been going to parliament…but ended up changing only themselves. He went to parliament to change himself but ended up determined to change the world."
Benn was in parliament for 51 years, a member of Labour's National Executive Committee for 34 years, a member of every Labour government from 1964 to 1979 and in the cabinet for most of that time.
He wrote speeches for Labour leaders Hugh Gaitskell and Harold Wilson. He drafted Labour election manifestos. He oversaw party political broadcasts and issued party statements. He supported nuclear power. He championed Concorde. He was variously technology minister, industry minister and energy secretary.
In the mid-1960s he suggested a distinction between "the Tory party as the champion of those who own industry and Labour Party as the natural ally of the managers and the people who run it". When the Labour government attempted to restrict unofficial strikes in 1969, Benn wrote, "I was in favour… You simply cannot have disturbance in the system anywhere without us all suffering." He subsequently noted, "In the years up to 1968 I was just a career politician."
The Guardian obituary's sour dismissal of him – suggesting "the only thing that would have damaged the left more than Benn's failed attempt to capture the Labour Party would have been his success" – shamed the paper.
Tony Benn's bid to become deputy Labour leader in 1981, a position he came within a hair's breadth of winning, did not damage the party. Leading figures on the Labour right did that – Shirley Williams, David Owen and William Rodgers – by breaking away to form the Social Democratic Party (SDP), now part of the Liberal Democrats, and splitting the Labour vote at the 1983 general election.
The animosity towards Benn came from three sources; establishment hatred for someone who renounced privilege and challenged it; the hatred of business, financiers and media proprietors for one who challenged their power; and the hatred of Labour Party figures who did not share Benn's desire for change.
Benn's greatest legacy is his diaries and the record they offer of Labour in office and the subsequent attempt to transform the party. As early as 1965, as Benn tried to have the Queen's head removed from stamps, he noted, "My instructions have simply not been followed." He concluded of Whitehall officials, "Unless you watch them like a hawk they simply don't do what they're told."
He moved sharply left from the late 1960s amid a wave of working class resistance, strikes and factory occupations, which climaxed in the miners' strike of 1974 that toppled the Tory government. Benn's Diary for 1968-72 opens "on a Labour government enjoying an enviable parliamentary majority of 90 seats".
Benn wrote, "The pages chronicle the decline of a government which experienced office without power." What followed was "a sharp radicalisation of the Labour movement as a whole" which led to "my own radicalisation".
Benn visited the work-in at Upper Clyde Shipbuilders in 1971-72 and called for "workers' control in the yard" – although Benn barely seems to have noticed the Battle of Saltley Gate during the 1972 miners' strike – it does not rate a mention in his published diary.
He also noted only in passing, on 11 September 1973, "There was a coup by the junta in Chile and President Allende was murdered." The fate of Allende's Labour-style government was a decisive event for many who saw a parliamentary road to socialism.
However, Benn did grow exasperated at the faintheartedness of Labour colleagues. In early 1974 he confided, "These chaps would capitulate on anything. None of the top Labour leadership has any guts."
Returning to the cabinet as industry minister in 1974, he was optimistic: "I can see my way now in breaking industry's resistance to my policies. I shall win over the managers and the small businessmen… I shall isolate the big Tory companies," he wrote.
Benn subsequently noted of his permanent secretary at the department, "[He] has been working to rule since we arrived. It began when he asked, 'Are you seriously going to try to implement your programme?'" Benn realised, "The Department acts simply as a mouthpiece for the CBI."
The Diaries record the development of his thinking. In his forward to the volume on 1963-67, Benn summarised the lessons he took, "First, how the permanent civil servants work to preserve their policies against any minister who wants to change them or challenge their power. [Second] how the [Labour] leader ran the party almost as if it were his personal kingdom. Every Labour prime minister…can sustain himself by endless appeals for loyalty and unity.
"Third, as a minister I experienced the power of industrialists and bankers to get their way by the use of the crudest form of economic pressure. Fourth…the power of the media ensures the events of the day are always presented from the point of view of those who enjoy economic privilege."
He concluded, "Britain is only superficially governed by MPs and the voters who elect them. Parliamentary democracy is, in truth, little more than a means of securing a periodical change in the management team."
This realisation did not lead Benn to withdraw from the management team. He never broke from Labour. Indeed, he never broke from a Labour cabinet of which he was a member – even from the Callaghan government of 1976-79 which raised unemployment, cut benefits and held down wages so that workers' living standards fell.
Benn recorded telling his press officer, "I thought opposing it from the inside was the best thing to do." He justified remaining in the leadership, saying, "The movement wants the government sustained."
In October 1976 he noted, "I have absolutely failed to persuade the government not to do what it is about to do…but I mustn't bring the government down." In December the same year he wrote, "I entirely share the view that the survival of the government is in the national interest." That Christmas, Benn recorded, "I read the Communist Manifesto yesterday… I felt so ignorant that at the age of 51 as a socialist politician I should never have read that basic text."
By January 1978 he was convinced, "This is the death of the Labour Party… All the growth on the left is going to come up from the outside and underneath." Yet he never followed his own logic.
When Labour lost to Thatcher in 1979, Benn told his Diary, "I have the freedom now to speak my mind…and I intend to take full advantage." That defeat and the experience of Labour in office sparked the biggest swing to the left in the party in a generation. Paul Foot described Benn's campaign for deputy leader as "electrifying the political scene". But it came as the level of workplace struggle turned down and the Tories began a long offensive.
In the 1983 election, following the SDP split, Labour won its lowest share of the vote since 1918. Benn hailed the result as establishing "a democratic socialist bridgehead", arguing, "A party with an openly socialist policy recorded the support of over 8 million people." The truth was very different. Benn subsequently recognised, "After 1983…the party reduced public expectations to the simple objective of installing Labour ministers in office."
Fortunately, Benn kept up his diaries, insisting, "My decision to publish is a political act." He loathed Neil Kinnock as Labour leader, noting in 1984, "His interviews are like processed cheese." When Kinnock stood down, he wrote, "Thank God that man was never prime minister."
His Diaries for 1991-2001 chronicle "the birth and development of New Labour, of which I am not a member". Blair's victory, he saw, "was built on…a desire by most electors to remove the Conservatives and an equal desire by the Establishment to retain Conservative policies".
As a result, "New Labour found itself in a position of unchallenged political power, able to do almost everything." And what happened? "Under the banner of modernisation many policies of the Conservative governments of the 1980s and 1990s reappeared."
Benn strove "to show the enormously powerful nature of the forces ranged against the…Labour movement". Yet he remained convinced that outside the Labour Party lay only a wilderness. He insisted, "There is a radical element and that element sought to be able to live within the Labour Party… I don't believe you can build a new socialist party."
On New Year's Eve 2007 he confided, "I feel totally out of sympathy with the Labour Party…and perhaps the only answer is to die." Sadly, it appears this was the only way he could conceive of leaving.
Despite a lifetime's commitment to parliament and elections, in an article for the Guardian in 2011 Benn wrote of the "need to replace the whole capitalist system", looked to "recent events in Tunisia and Egypt" and recognised a central tenet of revolutionary socialism when he wrote, "We do it ourselves or it will never be done."
He was held up as a failure for not achieving high office. But Benn noted in 1971, "If you are going for high office, you have to be cautious and…I would rather stand up for what I believe." Benn did that and we should salute him.

Should prostitution be legal?
Posted on November 6, 2011 by Michael
This is a repost from last year. It randomly crossed my mind recently, so I thought I would throw it back up here.
If we've learned anything from the prohibition of the 20's, it's that some vices are best left legal and regulated. It isn't important if one thinks alcohol is a terrible evil: there's a demand for it and people are going to have it. In light of this fact, it makes little sense to prohibit its consumption. The obvious link to crime should only make people cringe at the idea of ever applying such draconian laws to it again.
It isn't easy, however, to draw an exact parallel with prostitution. First (and the most duh point), prostitution doesn't have a rich history of being legal. The demand for it has always been relatively low-key and shunned while simultaneously being illegal. But there does exist the idea that much of the crime (and, in part, shunning) associated with prostitution is a direct result of its lack of legality. This is an important point because one of the common arguments against prostitution is that it causes a lot of societal ills to those not involved in the 'profession'*. That is, the argument goes that people who don't visit prostitutes or know others who visit prostitutes are still harmed by the existence of prostitution.
That much is true. Prostitution does bring crime and violence where it exists. It invites drug abuse, too (illegal begets illegal often enough). But this argument doesn't work when we're talking about the legalization of prostitution because no one means the legalization of any of prostitution. The discussion has parameters: what's important is not merely the legalization of a 'profession', but its regulation, complete with protections for the workers. As it stands, prostitution brings violence, crime, and drug abuse where it exists because it is illegal.
In places where prostitution is legal, one problem that often arises is poor regulation. With the best of intentions, governments tie one hand behind their back because they act with little foresight. For instance, the Netherlands has long tolerated prostitution and brothels, but it officially prohibited them for a long time. This gave them a sort of moral high ground (from some perspectives) on paper, but in practice it made it impossible to regulate any activity. In Nevada, the prostitutes are discouraged or prevented from being a part of their community. This is done with the sake of the surrounding town or county in mind, but it forces the prostitute to lose all connection with an area. By example, some brothels do not allow workers to own cars. (Incidentally, the legality of this allowance to brothels places too much power in the hands of the owners.)
But these aren't problems with prostitution. The issue here is bad regulation. No one is claiming regulation will ever be easy, but it can be made better. Currently there are places which have bad working conditions in a majority of legal locations. But look at pornography. There's a lot of it out there. And the majority is not horrid abuses, but consensual acts. To be sure, there is plenty of exploitative porn, but the majority is not objectionable on grounds of treatment. (Whether it's objectionable on grounds of simply being pornography is a separate and distinct matter.) The big reason, of course, why the majority of pornography is acceptable on the level of treatment is due to regulation (at least in most Western nations). Obviously legal pornography has been around a lot longer than legal prostitution, but it is possible to bring the regulation of prostitution to a level far exceeding that of pornography in terms of acceptableness. As one final note on this point, imagine what pornography might look like if it was criminalized.
Why we make it illegal
I've found little to no rational basis for why people are against the legalization of prostitution. I think a big part of it all is the "ewwy!" factor. Sex has long made people uncomfortable, especially the religious, so the idea of making it a publicly marketable idea is off-putting, to say the least. When people are given specific conditions for a thought experiment (one of the best philosophical tools there is), they're usually hard pressed to find an objection. For instance, say Beth is offering to have sex with Hank for money. She's under no exceptional monetary pressures, she's of sound mind, she consents, she's clean (Hank, too), she has alternatives available to her, and she isn't being taken advantage of by anyone (i.e., a pimp). What is the difference between this service and, say, the service a plumber might provide? Both services use the person as a means and both are being done for money. I think everyone is going to say there's some sort of difference, but few people can articulate it.
My idea on why no one can quite voice a difference is that people are looking for a rational basis. The answer lies in the "ewwy!" factor and that's more an emotional argument than a rational one. Sex makes a lot of people uncomfortable, especially when in public circumstances (not in terms of public sex, mind you, but in terms of being acknowledged and available publicly). But more than being an emotional argument, there exists an emotional connection in sex; this seemingly provides an out for those seeking a rational basis. If sex is an emotional event, then the removing of emotion from it is going to be detrimental. But that's merely the projection of what is, admittedly, a common personal view of many people, not the reflection of what is true for everybody.
I encountered this view in one part of a past discussion I had on the issue. I agree that a lot of people see sex as being deeply attached to emotions and that to treat it as though it were as nonchalant as fixing a (literal) pipe could be harmful to many people. But that argument says nothing of all the people who don't view sex that way. By way of example, take one-night stands. Plenty of people have regretted them, sure. But let's look at the pertinent factors: if the one-night stand is with a friend or if the two people otherwise know each other and will see each other, we don't have a parallel situation. Mentally stable individuals don't have such connections with random prostitutes. And if STD's are involved, then we again lack a parallel situation. We're talking about well regulated environments that virtually eliminate all STD's, at the very least making the prevalence significantly lower than what it is in the general population.
Given these factors, it's now safer to look at one-night stands. Have people had one-night stands with people they've only recently met/are unlikely to ever see again, with a lack of STD's, and still regretted what they've done? Surely. (Though I'm willing to bet much of the guilt is religiously and culturally, not rationally, driven.) But is it difficult to suppose that more people have been completely happy with their one-night stands? I don't think so. It isn't hard to see that nights of consensual, disease-free sex with no or few awkward moments later in life aren't the types of nights that upset people.
But to make the point clear: applying one's own association of emotion to sex does not reflect the associations that others have. It may be detrimental for someone to visit a prostitute with the mindset that sex without an emotional connection is bad, but that says nothing of all the people who feel sex is a good thing whenever it is consensual.
At this point, I need to go on what I think is a bit of a bizarre point. When I said to a friend that people object to legalized prostitution because of the "ewwy" factor, I further elaborated that part of that is based in social taboos – an assortment of ideas I think are ridiculous because they tend to be arbitrary; society ought to have moral claims on rational grounds, not on taboos. This is all well and true, but this led him to conclude that I was saying all sex is good and that so long as there is consent, it should be okay. Therefore, if a 13 year old expresses consent to have sex with a 45 year old, that is good.
First, I think this argument was born of a conflation: taboos were being confused with morality. The two concepts are entirely different. Second, I spent far too much time objecting to the idea that a 13 year old can consent. I can agree that it's possible that some 13 year olds can consent, but that involves far more than merely saying "yes". It involves understanding, a lack of coercion, and knowledge of consequences. Even if there are some that can consent, most can not. It isn't practical to go around examining the mental and sexual maturity of every 13 year old so we might allow a few to have sex. Laws unfortunately need absolutes. While we might cringe to hear of a 21 year old being put on a sex offender list for life for having sex with a 17 year, 11 month, 3 week, 6 day old, we do need to set reasonable limits on certain activities. We certainly want to look at any borderline event with a strong eye to the reason for the rule, but something so firmly covered in child sex laws such as the age 13 will virtually always meet the reason for the rule.
Of course, it soon dawned on me that the example of a 13 year old consenting to a 45 year old was premised in the notion that sex with children is objectionable merely because they are children. That isn't the reason for objection. (Indeed, saying sex with children is bad because they're children is closer to a taboo than anything resembling a moral reasoning.) While we need the law to guide us, if it was possible to convince me that a 13 year old actually consented to sex with a 45 year old (and remember, that doesn't merely and immaturely mean saying "yes"), I wouldn't find any grounds for moral objection. To be clear, I doubt a 13 year old could ever consent to such a thing, but if one could, then where does the objection lie?
A lot more can be said of all this, but I'll end on a point I think is often overlooked: the well-being of the prostitutes. It was once put to me, do I think prostitutes are happy? That's a bad question in such a simple form. I doubt most illegal prostitutes are happy. But this is about legal prostitutes. At the time, I couldn't answer the question because it doesn't merely require an opinion like "I like ice cream" is an opinion, but it requires an opinion that needs facts. As a matter of, can someone have sex for money and be happy, yes, absolutely. But as a matter of, are current, legal prostitutes actually happy, more is needed. What are the working conditions? How are prostitutes reflected in the law? Are they safe? Is everything consensual? Are the workers free to leave? Given what I know of Nevada's regulations, the happiness of its prostitutes is in doubt. But that isn't a result of being a prostitute. It's a result of the regulations of being a prostitute. If all the concerns can be addressed and the working conditions raised to the level of, say, a cable repair guy's or an accountant's conditions, then I see no reason why a prostitute cannot be as happy as any employee of any legal establishment.
*I place "profession" in scare quotes not as a slight, but because I associate a strong definition with the term. To be a professional it takes at least autonomy and esoteric knowledge. There's much more, but it isn't important to labor in details here. It's enough that prostitutes do not meet my definition of what it takes to be a professional. The same, incidentally, goes for most elementary and middle school teachers, as well as many high school teachers. (And again, that isn't a slight. They perform valuable work. They just aren't professionals in any more than the popular sense.)

On a serious note though, I'm not sure its right to say that illegal drug abuse and so on are only associated with prostitution because its illegal. I think in regulated venues it's simply not allowed, that doesn't mean those things don't naturally clump together though. The type of people likely to use "working girls" might be more likely to use drugs and so forth for some reason.

You should look into "euvoluntary" and BATNA's, and I think you'll understand a little bit more on why people oppose this issue.
They think "no one should have to do that to make money. That's an awful choice to have to make."
But their solution is to take the choice away. It leaves the underlying problem intact.

Design discussions by the pros. Bearden Carpet in Springfield!
Solid wood is milled from a single 3/4"-thick piece of hardwood. Because of its thickness, a solid hardwood floor can be sanded and refinished over several generations of use. Solid wood flooring expands and contracts with changes in your home's relative humidity. Normally, installers compensate for this movement by leaving an expansion gap between the floor and the wall. Base molding or quarter-round is traditionally used to hide the extra space.
Engineered wood is produced with three to five layers of hardwood. Each layer is stacked in a cross-grain configuration and bonded together under heat and pressure. As a result, engineered wood flooring is less likely to be affected by changes in humidity and can be installed at all levels of the home.
Traditional solid hardwood flooring is not well-suited for high-moisture areas, such as bathrooms or below-grade installations. The construction of engineered hardwood gives it enhanced structural stability and moisture resistance, so that it may be installed at any grade level.
What type of subfloor do you have?
If you plan to install over concrete, you must use an engineered product to ensure structural integrity. Solid wood flooring or engineered flooring may be used over plywood, wood, or OSB subfloors.
Will moisture be in the room?
If so, you'll want to select an engineered hardwood. The moisture resistance of an engineered hardwood makes it suitable for rooms where the presence of moisture is possible, such as bathrooms.

"…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
Everyone has days when they feel like life is out of control. Oftentimes, this happens when we allow our circumstances to dictate our thoughts and attitudes. You might say, "Well, Joel, the economy is wreaking havoc on my business," or "This relationship is just too far gone." But I say, today is the day to take your life back!
You take your life back by choosing to take your thoughts back. Even though we live in this natural realm, as believers, we are not limited by this natural realm. We can tap into God's power by making every thought line up with the Word of God. We don't have to let circumstances control us. Instead, meditate on His Word and let His truth set you free!
Today, as you take captive every thought and boldly declare His promises over your life, you are setting yourself up for victory. You are positioning yourself to partake of His blessing. You are taking your life back and positioning yourself to embrace the abundant life He has prepared for you!
"Heavenly Father, thank You for empowering me to live in victory today. I choose to take my life back by taking captive every thought and submitting it to You. Help me live a life that is pleasing to You, Jesus, today and every day in Jesus' name. Amen."

French Euro MP sidelined after France is a 'white race' remark
Former president Nicolas Sarkozy has called for Nadine Morano - a member of his The Republicans party - to be withdrawn from regional elections

A French European MP was fighting for her political future on Wednesday after coming under attack for describing France as a country of "white race".
Nadine Morano, of the right-wing The Republicans party, could be barred from standing in regional elections in December over her remarks, in which she also said France was a "Jewish-Christian" country.
Nadine Morano, Nicolas Sarkozy's super-sniper, takes on all comers
Former president Nicolas Sarkozy, who heads the party – the main opposition to the governing Socialists – has asked the leadership to withdraw Morano from its list of candidates for the biggest electoral test of 2015.
Morano, a former minister with a reputation for gaffes and unguarded Twitter comments, said in a television interview on Saturday that: "We are a Jewish-Christian country... of white race, which takes in foreigners."
Sarkozy, who once counted the 51-year-old as one of his closest allies in his government, said: "I will not accept any slip-ups."
Morano has been condemned from all points of the political spectrum, and the head of The Republicans' list of candidates for eastern France, Philippe Richert, said her comments had had a "devastating effect" on his campaign.
Morano insists she is the victim of a "witchhunt".
"I said nothing terrible. In fact I don't think I've done anything wrong," she said.
Support has come from one predictable source – the former leader of the far-right National Front (FN), Jean-Marie Le Pen, who said Morano was "stating the obvious" when she described France as a country of "white race".

The company's case is not an isolated one, and experts are warning that not only are small businesses now firmly in the crosshairs of cyber-criminals, they are fast becoming their favoured target – and are often woefully unprepared.
According to the latest statistics released by cyber security firm Symantec, more than half (52.4%) of spear phishing attacks, carried out using fake emails – carried out in December last year were against SMEs, with November showing a massive spike.
The issue of cyber security for small businesses is made even more pressing by new European regulations aimed at protecting customer data. The EU's new General Data Protection Regulation will come into force in 2018 and could result in companies being fined up to €20m or 4% of their annual turnover, whichever is greater, for allowing any security breaches to compromise their customer data.
Stephen Ridley, acting head of technology, cyber and data for insurance company Hiscox UK and Ireland and a member of the Cyber Streetwise Forum, claims many SMEs still have much to do in order to protect themselves.
"Many small businesses are starting to appreciate the potential severity of cyber-attacks. But many still have a long way to go in implementing good risk management," he says.
According to Ridley, firms can follow several simple steps to reduce cyber-risks. He suggests using secure passwords such as three random words, installing antivirus and malware software on all company devices, instigating regular software updates that contain vital security upgrades and educating staff on cyber-risks. Another way of helping to improve security is to subscribe to the government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme.
Duncan Sutcliffe, who runs insurance firm Sutcliffe & Co in Worcester, has recently taken part in the programme.
"I was aware of the increasing threat to both our clients and our business from hackers and cybercrime, but I'm not a techie, so I didn't really know what to do about it. I found out that around 80% of cyber breaches could be stopped by adopting some of the basics," he says.
Alex Fenton, a digital business expert and lecturer at Salford University, says there is no excuse for leaving your systems vulnerable. "We have seen some high-profile examples where companies have cut corners to save time and money.
• Ransomware – where a piece of malicious software, typically received via a phishing email, encrypts all of the data on the company's network, with the perpetrators requesting a ransom (typically £500–£1,000) in order to provide the decryption key.
• Denial of Service attack – when a company's website is overwhelmed by a volume of data pushed to its servers in a malicious manner. These attacks are increasingly easy and cheap to carry out, with some online tools costing as little as £25 per hour.
• Human error – people are generally the weakest link in any security chain, and a vast number of data breaches are the result of information being lost, or distributed to the wrong person. Even the seemingly mundane can have far reaching consequences, particularly where sensitive PII is involved.

INDUSTRY TEAMINGS
16 Jul 08. Boeing and AgustaWestland signed an agreement for the joint manufacture of new CH-47F Chinook helicopters for the Italian Army in a ceremony held at the Farnborough Airshow. As prime contractor for the Italian CH-47F, AgustaWestland will be responsible for design and systems integration, and aircraft delivery to the Italian Army. Boeing Rotorcraft Systems will build the fuselage in Ridley Park, Pa. "This industrial agreement further expands our network of partnerships, allowing us to strengthen our long-lasting role as CH-47 Chinook supplier to the Italian Army and other operators in Europe and elsewhere," said Giuseppe Orsi, AgustaWestland CEO.
15 Jul 08. The National Research Council Canada (NRC) and Airbus have signed a ten year framework agreement on research and technology cooperation. This new agreement is the first result of a Memorandum of Understanding signed between EADS and the NRC. EADS Innovation Works, the corporate research and technology organisation, signed this framework agreement on behalf of the entire Group in June 2008 in Canada. A spectrum of technical subjects will be covered by the Airbus-NRC agreement, ranging from manufacturing technologies to flight tests for environmental investigations. In particular, Airbus and the NRC will actively encourage the participation of Canadian supplier partners in the cooperation helping to maintain and develop the Canadian aeronautical industry's technology base and competitiveness.
15 Jul 08. European Aerospace group EADS and Mubadala Aerospace, a division of Mubadala Development Company of the United Arab Emirates, have signed a multi-faceted supplier agreement. The partnership will allow EADS to extend its footprint in the Middle East in terms of suppliers and production capabilities. For Mubadala the agreement is an important step in the company's commercial strategy to rapidly evolve the Emirate of Abu Dhabi's existing aerospace industry into a global aerospace hub. The cooperation is expected to generate in excess of US$1bn of revenue for Mubadala Aerospace over ten years. The agreement was signed on Monday at Farnborough Airshow. The EADS Mubadala agreement has three core components: Firstly, in cooperation with EADS, Mubadala's recently announced composites plant will develop full design-to-build capabilities, significantly leveraging and advancing Mubadala Aerospace's range of products and services. This will help the Abu Dhabi facilities to become a tier one supplier for the next generation of commercial aircraft. The plant will start operations in 2010, producing composite aerostructures for Airbus and potentially other manufacturers. Initially the plant will provide spoilers and flap track fairings for the Airbus A330, A340, A350 and A380. The planned next phase will see the manufacturing of primary structures and components.

Bashundhara aims at exporting A4 paper
Bashundhara Paper Mills Ltd, the largest paper and tissue manufacturing company of the country, is set to export A4 paper in abroad soon.
Mustafizur Rahman, Deputy Managing Director of the Bashundhara Group made the comments while presenting gifts to two winners of Bashundhara A4 paper mobile recharge campaign.
Bashundhara Group Director Yeasha Sobhan handed over the prizes among the winners at Bashundhara Industrial Headquarter-2 in the city on Sunday.
Md Masuduzzaman, Head of Sales of Bashundhara Paper Mills was also present at the programme.
Mustafizur Rahman said that Bashundhara Group is going to export 'A4 paper' abroad soon. Bashundhara A4 paper has gained the confidence of its customers across the country and it captured 90 percent market share of A4 paper.
Once the country was cent percent dependent on imported A4 paper, and now the scenario has changed, he said adding that Bashundhara launched A4 size paper in the market 4 years ago and gained popularity among the consumers in the short period of time.
"We have captured 90 percent share of the local market during this short span of time. Besides, other local brands also came into the market which results the dominancy of locally-produced paper in the country. We are increasing our production and soon we will export Bashundhara A4 paper", said Mustafizur Rahman.
Addressing the programme, Masuduzzaman said that Bashundhara has become market leader in the country owing to its quality paper. It produces 65 gsm, 70gsm and 80gsm A4 size papers which gained confidence of the customers.
Explaining the scratch card offer, he said, "We launched an offer for the A4 paper customers. Customers who bought a reel of Bashundhara A4 paper received a scratch card holding a secret number. Customers were asked to send a SMS to the secret number and got Tk 10 mobile recharge instantly.
Among the SMS senders, two lucky winners got mobiles".
He also said that the offer is not ended here. Two more phases are still left which will take place in future.
In this phase, Nepal Chandra Roy of Narayanganj and Jahid Hasan from Khulna won Samsung mobile handsets as their prizes.
They expressed their happiness after receiving the prize at the programme.

All smiles: Jutanugarn in position for LPGA player of year
By TIM REYNOLDS, Associated Press | Posted - Nov. 15, 2016 at 10:40 a.m.
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Ariya Jutanugarn has already decided the first thing she will do if she wins the bonus cash that accompanies the Race to the CME Globe title.
She'll take her mom out for a celebratory dinner.
Figure on appetizers and dessert being included, since the prize is $1 million.
This would have seemed an unlikely scenario a few months ago, but Jutanugarn has arrived at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship as the leader for the CME Globe — with that $1 million bonus — and the yearlong money title. A five-time winner this season, Jutanugarn will be player of the year unless world No. 1 Lydia Ko prevails this week.
"This year I changed my focus," Jutanugarn said. "I try to focus just really positive, not too negative. Even if I hit bad shots, don't really complain about it and just try to hit the next shot."
Those bad shots don't seem to happen too often.
The 20-year-old from Thailand added something to her pre-shot routine in April, and it had nothing to do with her grip or her swing. She started smiling before most shots, a little trick she's used to keep her mind right over the course of a round.
It's worked wonders.
"Ariya has been playing great and she's consistently putting herself in good positions," Ko said.
Most around the LPGA Tour call Jutanugarn "May" — a fitting moniker this year. She made three starts this May and won them all, her first LPGA victories coming in succession and starting her springboard to No. 2 in the world.
And her ascension into the level of the LPGA elite has been rapid.
Jutanugarn didn't make the cut in the first stop this season, shot a final-round 84 in her second start and finished a combined 39 shots behind the winners during a rather unremarkable two-week stretch in March.
"You still remember?" Jutanugarn asked, rhetorically. "Did I really shoot 84?"
Jutanugarn was kidding. She recalls every detail of that day, hammering away with her driver over and over again — even on the holes where she shouldn't have hit driver — trying to figure out what was going wrong.
Those days are long gone.
Jutanugarn, Ko and Brooke Henderson are the three players entering this week with the most realistic chance of hoisting the CME Globe, which goes to the winner of the yearlong points race on the tour. All posed with a plexiglass box holding $1 million to represent the bonus cash that goes to the Globe winner on Monday, and that's when Jutanugarn let her mind wander to what winning it would be like.
Her scoring average after her first six starts this season was 72.4. In 21 starts since, it's 69.3.
"The bad shots," she said, "inspired me to hit better shots."
She leads the money race by a slim margin over Ko entering this week, and she needed no time to decide which trophy she'd want most this week if she could leave Naples with only one.
"To me, it would be player of the year," Jutanugarn said. "It's a really huge honor to win that award. To me, that's the hardest one to win."
Maybe so, but she's made contending for it look easy.

The Netherlands' largest power provider said that capacity would be six times more than is currently connected to its grid. To accommodate such vertiginous growth, the company is planning to increase redundancy in critical areas with high levels of solar deployment. Parent company Alliander has announced an €844 million plan to improve the power network.
The integration of increasingly popular solar power into the Dutch grid is proving problematic.
Dutch power and gas provider Liander – which serves the provinces of Gelderland and Noord-Holland and parts of Flevoland, Friesland and Zuid-Holland – says it expects strong PV growth in the next five years, and is taking measures to ensure it will be sustainable.
"A scenario that we are considering is that over the next five years the capacity of solar energy in Liander's service area will grow to 6 GW, which is six times more than that currently connected to the grid," said the utility.
Liander also says it is ensuring critical areas with strong solar development have enough redundancy in generation, transmission and distribution capacity. "In concrete terms, this means that extra cables and installations are available, so that in the event of a breakdown, the transmission of electricity can be repaired more quickly and maintenance of the grid is possible without large groups of customers remaining without electricity," added the power company.
The utility said customers that are also power producers may be connected faster, as they can now opt to be temporarily switched off in case of a malfunction or maintenance. The utility has calculated PV systems ranging in size from 0.16-2 MW are interrupted annually for only 1% of their time of operation as a result of network breakdown or maintenance. "Smarter dealing with redundancy is one of the possible measures to facilitate the rapid growth of sustainable production, and in particular solar energy," the utility said.
Liander's parent company, Alliander, has announced an €844 million plan to improve its power network. It said solar capacity in Liander's service area grew by around 77% last year, and wind and solar are now providing power to more than a million households. The company added, it is working on the organization of local energy auctions to better match supply and demand.
That the Netherlands may face challenges integrating larger volumes of renewables was highlighted last week, when Dutch transmission system operators TenneT and Enexis said there is very limited capacity for more solar in the provinces of Groningen, Drenthe and Overijssel. On the other hand, the country is expected to reach 6 GW by 2020, and 20 GW by 2035, according to a recent report by Dutch research institute the Energieonderzoek Centrum Nederland.
The nation currently has around 4 GW of deployed PV power.

Kohei Uchimura, Japanese gymnastics legend, qualifies for one last Olympics
By OlympicTalkJun 6, 2021, 7:03 AM EDT
Kohei Uchimura, widely regarded as the greatest male gymnast in history, is going to a fourth and final Olympics, this time to focus on one event.
Uchimura, who won all eight Olympic and world all-around titles from 2009-16 and earned the nickname "King Kohei," made Japan's Olympic team in individual events only at a domestic competition on Sunday.
He qualified via tiebreaker. Uchimura, competing on high bar, and another gymnast, Hidenobu Yonekura, who was on vault, tied on qualifying points, but Uchimura got in via higher world ranking, according to Tokyo 2020.
"I thought I failed to qualify but then was told I'm going. I don't think I deserve it," Uchimura said, according to a Tokyo 2020 translation. "I apologized to Yonekura afterwards."
Uchimura will not compete in the team event at an Olympics for the first time in his career.
He is eligible to go for the individual all-around, but he has said his focus is on high bar after fighting injuries throughout this Olympic cycle and missing the world championships in 2019 for the first time since 2007.
At 32, Uchimura will be the oldest Japanese Olympic gymnast since the other time the Games were held in Tokyo in 1964, according to Olympedia.org.
"I don't feel that after today's performance, I really deserve to be called 'King,'" Uchimura said Sunday, according to a Reuters translation.
Russians Nikita Nagornyy and Artur Dalaloyan won the last two world all-around titles.
The Japanese roster for the Olympic men's team event — one of the most coveted gold medals for the host nation — is Daiki Hashimoto, Kazuma Kaya, Wataru Tanigawa and Takeru Kitazono, all Olympic rookies.
Japan took team bronze at the last two world championships behind Russia and China.
"It was really hard for me, as such an old man, to perform after the new generation," Uchimura said, referring to his younger countrymen, according to Reuters. "I may not be part of the all-around team effort, but there's still things I can contribute due to my experience."
Kenzo Shirai, the second star of Japan's Rio Olympic champion team, did not make the roster for Tokyo. Shirai, 24, owns world titles on floor exercise and vault and was the last Japanese man to earn a world championships all-around medal, bronze in 2017. He has been hampered by back and ankle injuries, according to Japanese media.

Experimenting with color is a great idea. Architect João Mansur enjoys experimenting and that is exactly what he did in his São Paulo apartment. He painted the chair rail in the dining room a deep cherry red. The result is a vivid geometric pattern against the green-apple walls.


Far too often I have found myself in places where people simply have no appreciation for architecture. They have no interest in the history of their home, or the qualities that make it unique. Whenever I start feeling badly about the general public's lack of aesthetics, I think about the hidden neighborhoods in cities across the country where people really do care - where they take time to learn about the Arts & Crafts style and restore old homes to their original beauty.
Such a place is Toledo Ohio's West End. A visit to the the city's "Old West End Festival" is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture restoration, preservation and history. Recognized as the largest collection of Victorian homes east of the Mississippi and the largest turn-of-the-century residential neighborhood in the U.S." Toledo's Old West End area contains many transitional or eclectic Craftsman, and great examples of early/classic Arts & Crafts style.
The neighborhood was home to many prominent citizen at the turn of the 20th century, but like many city neighborhoods it began to experience urban flight beginning in the 1960's. The West End fell into a decades-long period of decline during which it became undesirable and houses suffered. Efforts by the city to revitalize began in the 1990's, and the area has witnessed a dramatic revival. Low real estate prices, low taxes and other city-sponsored incentives have lured many young educated professionals to the neighborhood and the houses have been returned to their original glory.
The Festival offers the chance to stroll along tidy streets and visit half-dozen or so of these old homes, but there is no reason to postpone a visit until the next Festival. If you love looking at beautifully restored Arts & Crafts home, and like to see a neighborhood that cares about its history, I urge you to pay a visit to Toledo.

Yalitza Aparicio, the actress we met in the movie "Roma", was unexpectedly surprised by fame. She was not prepared for the scrutiny of public opinion, because she never imagined herself at the top. She did not know how to face the new stage of great praise and ruthless criticism. Doubts assailed her, but she finally gained self-confidence.
In my constant search for personal growth, I have seen cases like this and have received comments from people who do not have enough confidence in themselves to achieve their dreams. But when doubts hit, trust assists us. We must cultivate trust and study doubts because they are shots of enlightenment or fear. How many opportunities have you missed because of fear of failure?
The phenomenon called "paralysis by analysis" implies that we think so much to take a step, that we end up falling into inaction. Then, regrets and the feeling of guilt come to us: what if I had done this or that? In this way, life goes by and we do not advance.
Erik Weihenmayer is a man who reached the summit of Everest and other peaks more than eight thousand meters high. At age eight he suffered a disease that affected his vision and he became blind. However, he never limited himself and practiced all kinds of sports in associations for the blind. In fact, on the ascent to Everest, the Sherpas were fascinated by their great security when moving around the mountain; so much, that many came to doubt his blindness.
How many times do we paralyze and desist from our dreams because we do not believe we are capable? Occasionally, the social pressure hurricane wreaks havoc on our self-confidence and limits our power. This story also invites us to trust intuition, that inner voice that speaks to us beyond what we can identify as certainties.
Research carried out by academics from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, showed that the self-confidence to make decisions is actually a mathematical calculation performed by the brain, which yields results quite similar to a computer.
If even science says it, why is it so hard for us to believe in ourselves? Trust in you and allow yourself to doubt, but without getting paralyzed.
Our thoughts: are they allies or enemies?

The researcher Tomàs Marquès-Bonet, Director of the IBE (CSIC-UPF), has been awarded the International Early Career Award by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI, USA). He will receive $650,000 spread over five years, starting in September 2017. A total of 1,600 researchers from around the world attended the call, of which only 41 were selected. To date, only 5 investigators in Spain had received recognition.
The selection process included a presentation in February at the headquarters of the Wellcome Trust in London, where the candidates were examined according to criteria of scientific excellence as well as the achievements of their careers as researchers. This is the second call for the award, which this time has also been supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
"These awards allow you to carry out more risky projects that over time can attempt to expand the limits of knowledge, since they are much more flexible than conventional calls," says Marquès-Bonet, also ICREA research professor at the UPF and CNAG-CRG. The scientific focus for the next five years is to develop a catalog of genomic variations of great apes to be applied to conservation, as well as to better understand the evolutionary origin of our species. According to Marquès-Bonet: "The evolutionary approach can provide much information on the adaptations we have and even has biomedical implications."

Did Lil Uzi Vert Really Die?
by admin · February 9, 2021
Symere Bysil Woods higher often known as Lil Uzi Vert is an American rapper known for works like 'XO Tour Llif3.' Characterized by his face tattoos, piercings, eccentric hairstyles, and androgynous vogue, Lil Uzi Vert is among the many new age rappers who've received reward and adoration from Fans. Naturally, lots of them were involved when news of Lil Uzi Vert's Death started to unfold. Nonetheless, allow us to put your thoughts to relaxation and state outright that Lil Uzi Vert is alive and doing well. So, how did the rumors about his Death begin circulating?
Lil Uzi Vert Death Rumors, Explained:
Rumors about Lil Uzi Vert's Death gained traction on Thursday, June 18, 2020, after a Facebook page titled R.I.P. Lil Uzi Vert attracted round a million likes. The about part of the page has an account of the rapper's demise, stating that Lil Uzi Vert handed away on June 18, 2020, at round 11 a.m. ET. After going into some particulars about his private life, the page asks for feedback and likes as a present of help.
Fans became frenzied and quite a few condolence posts started pouring in, but some were extra skeptical. After all, only a Facebook page stating Lil Uzi Vert's Death can hardly be believed since the excessive profile rapper's demise would have been coated by main media shops. The skeptics were rewarded when Lil Uzi Vert's reps formally confirmed on Friday, June 19, 2020, that the rapper had turn into topic to a star Death hoax. They said he's alive and well. Viewers and Fans have been suggested to cease believing every thing they see on the web.
Notably, one would possibly perceive the concern of Fans since the rapper's final publish is on May 28, 2020. Test it out right here.
Moreover, a fast search of Lil Uzi Vert's Death on Twitter results in the news that the rapper has been discovered useless after news a couple of shootout. Nonetheless, a cautious reader would possibly decide up that the obvious news is again from 2018, which is perhaps when Lil Uzi Vert was subjected to a different Death hoax.
For now, it May be slightly simple for Fans to imagine the news of the shootout and doable Death of Lil Uzi Vert as a result of they may have confused him with Tray Savage from Chicago. Savage handed away on June 19, 2020, a day after the hoax about Lil Uzi started doing the rounds, which May have added gasoline to the fireplace. Moreover, Tray and Lil Uzi Vert are about the identical age. The previous is 26, whereas the latter is 25 years outdated. Due to this fact, the mixup is comprehensible for the much less cautious reader.

Nonetheless, to conclude, there isn't a motive to fret as Lil Uzi Vert is alive and doing well. He simply has not posted a lot on social media for some time, but he's fairly energetic on Twitter together with his final tweet on June 16, 2020, the place he's interacted together with his Fans. Moreover, the rapper has a brand new album within the works, so that's all the time one thing to stay up for. Try his affirmation that got here on May 11, 2020.

In his July 30 letter to The Shredder ("Dear Shredder, you're a liberal comrade"), Greg Larson misses the point of Bernie Sanders' Political Revolution. Bernie has worked his whole life for the people who elected him. Now he is ready to take on all the special interests that keep Washington in a perennial logjam.
His ideas are practical. They will improve the lives of all Americans. A living wage for all. Medicare for all. Free college education for all. Dealing with climate change and preserving our environment.
He is also fighting for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, which has guaranteed corporations and rich white men the power to buy whatever government they choose.
Mr. Larson acts as if Bernie Sanders wants a form of communism. What Bernie wants is a real democracy where every vote counts. Money is the culprit in American politics. Bernie wants publicly funded elections. Real democracy in action.
Bernie has raised more than $15 million from the small donations of more than 500,000 Americans. When Howard Dean accomplished this, both the Republican and Democratic parties killed his campaign in Iowa. He was too dangerous a politician to get through the doors of leadership.
Jeb Bush is poised to raise $2 billion to buy this election. Only 3 percent of Jeb Bush's fundraising comes from the common man. But Jeb Bush has already raised $100 million from 60 fat cats around the country.
Bernie doesn't want a Super Pac. He wants the people to get him elected. Then he will be beholden only to them.
Is that socialism, or is that democracy?
