Seven Times the GAO Found Former President Obama Broke Federal Law [List]
Posted By: Dino Porrazzo January 18, 2020
Democrats and journalists were excited Thursday when the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a legal opinion that the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) had violated the Impoundment Control Act by withholding congressionally appropriated aid to Ukraine last summer, Joel B. Pollak at Breitbart reports.
Steve Straub at The Federalist Papers reports that the report did not say what laws had been broken and the timing, the day the Senate opened President Trump's impeachment trial, seems very, very suspicious.
While the GOA is theoretically non-partisan, the agency works for the House and we know who controls the House.
Oddly the GOA also found that former President Obama violated the law seven times, yet no impeachment.
Anyway here are seven times the Obama administration was found by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to have violated federal law, via Breitbart:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and United States Secret Service (USSS) were found to have violated section 503 of the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, and the Antideficiency Act, in 2009 after the Secret Service reported that it had overspent on candidate protection in 2008 by $5,100,000, and used money from another program to cover the shortfall. DHS failed to notify Congress 15 days in advance of the "reprogramming."
The Department of the Treasury was found to have violated the Antideficiency Act in 2014 when it used the voluntary services of four individuals. "Treasury did not appoint any of the individuals to federal employment, nor did any individual qualify as a student who may, under certain circumstances, perform voluntary service," the GAO found, adding that there was no emergency that might have justified using the individuals to perform several months of work without receiving pay.
The Department of Defense was found to have violated the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2014 and the Antideficiency Act in the infamous Bowe Bergdahl swap, when President Barack Obama traded five high-level Taliban detainees for a U.S. Army deserter. The administration transferred the five Taliban from Guantanamo Bay without notifying relevant congressional committees 30 days in advance, as required by law. Republicans complained; Democrats were silent.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development was found to have violated the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, and the Antideficiency Act in 2014 when the deputy secretary of the department sent an email to "friends and colleagues" asking them to lobby the Senate in favor of a bill appropriating money to the department, and against amendments offered by Republican Senators.
The Environmental Protection Agency was found to have violated "publicity or propaganda and anti-lobbying provisions" in the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act and the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act in 2015 by using some of the department's social media accounts in rule-making for the "Waters of the United States" (WOTUS) regulations (which have since been repealed under the Trump administration).
Two officials in the Department of Housing and Urban Development were found in 2016 to have violated Section 713 of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act by attempting to prevent a regional director within the agency from being interviewed by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. (Notably, the GAO reversed its earlier decision that the department's general counsel had not violated the law once it was presented with more evidence.)
The Federal Maritime Commission was found to have violated Section 711 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, as well as the Antideficiency Act, in 2016 when it failed to notify the relevant Senate and House committees that it had spent more than $5,000 to furnish and redecorate the office of its former director in 2010. (The total amount spent was $12,084 over three years, as noted by the GAO in a footnote reference to an inspector general's report on the excessive expenditures.)
Given all of this, former President Obama should have been impeached seven different times.
Sure seems like Democrats have a double-standard when it comes to the law.
Of course if Democrats did not have double standards they'd have no standards at all.

The scope of animal wellbeing
SelfAwarePatterns Zeitgeist May 2, 2021 4 Minutes
Daniel Issing has an interesting article at Quillette on the hard problems of vegetarianism. Vegetarianism, and its more pure form, veganism, are often seen as the obvious moral thing we should all be doing, but that most of us aren't. Issing, himself a vegetarian, explores the messy details that make this a more complicated proposition than it might seem. It's a fascinating article which I recommend.
But there's one part of it I want to focus on.
Now, if some form of utilitarianism underlies all animal welfare theories, the notion that animals' interests need to be taken into account can be challenged by denying that the utilitarian calculus can be meaningfully applied across species. All it takes is to argue that we are not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively different from non-human animals. Both human and non-human animals suffer pain, yet presumably only humans are able to anticipate it, reflect upon it, and live their lives in dread of it. You can psychologically abuse and torture human beings, but you wouldn't be able to achieve the same results with animals. Although far from the only reason for punishing criminals—we convict murderers even if the victim did not see it coming, died instantly and painlessly, and is not survived by grieving relatives—the mental landscape matters to ethical judgements. Those judgements, after all, are products of the mind as well, and thus differential treatment may well be justified.
I will note real quick that I do think it is possible to inflict psychological abuse on animals. A social animal, such as a dog, kept in isolation, would almost certainly suffer detrimental effects to its wellbeing. But Issing is talking here specifically about psychological abuse related to anticipation of things that might be days, weeks, or months in the future. And there, I'd agree that most animals can't be affected by that, because the observational evidence seems to indicate that the very idea of days, weeks, or months in the future is inconceivable to them.
This gets to an idea I've seen expressed from various people, one relating to Antonio Damasio's hierarchy of self: the proto-self, the core self, and the autobiographical self. The proto and core self are the self that exists in the moment. The autobiographical self is the one that spans the personal life narrative of the organism, our memories, but also everything we imagine about our future, our hopes and dreams, etc.
The point is that most non-human animals have a very limited autobiographical self. In general, most animals can only anticipate things a few seconds to a few minutes into the future. In cases where we're tempted to think an animal is planning far into the future, it's usually us projecting our own mental state on them.
For example, seeing squirrels save nuts might make us think the squirrel is thinking about its future needs, or a spider laying the foundation of its web might incline us to think it's planning out the entire thing in advance. But in these cases, the animal is just following instinct. Squirrels save nuts. Spiders weave webs. We don't see individual members of these species trying alternate strategies, because these aren't learned personal strategies, but species level programming.
What does that mean? We still definitely need to give consideration to the animal's moment to moment wellbeing. These are sentient creatures and we shouldn't inflict pain or suffering on them without a very good reason. But if we need to put them down humanely, we shouldn't see it as equivalent to killing a human, since the human does have a very developed autobiographical self. When a human is killed, we are taking away their all their hopes, dreams, and even fears about the future. When most non-human animals are killed, provided it's done in a non-painful manner, according to this view, we're not taking away anything they can conceive of.
On the face of it, this seems like a pretty insightful point, one that might allow us to be more at peace with (most) animal testing, or with farming that takes into account the animal's needs while it's alive, and in both cases that puts it down humanely if or when it's necessary. There is the caveat that more intelligent species, such as great apes, elephants, dolphins, and perhaps some birds, might have broader than usual time horizons, something that should be considered for their wellbeing.
But this overall line of reasoning makes me nervous. It feels suspiciously like a rationalization for what we as a society are currently prepared to do for animal welfare, while minimizing pressure to do more. The question is, what are the arguments against it?
One possible objection is, how sure are we that most animals can't in fact plan for the future? There is evidence of longer term planning in some animal species, but it tends to be clustered in the intelligent ones I mentioned above. Planning in most species is limited to immediate situations, like figuring out how to navigate a maze. That said, new evidence could change the picture at any time.
Another objection is if these animals understood their situation, they'd be in distress about what was going to happen to them. But it could be argued that this is a pointless counterfactual. If the animal could understand what was going to happen, they wouldn't be what they are.
That said, taking one of the lessons from the previous post, it does raise the interesting question of whether we could imagine ourselves in a similar situation to the animal. For instance, suppose reincarnation were a real thing, with no ability to preserve memories across lives. If someone did something to me that took away all my future incarnations, even if I never knew anything about them, it certainly feels like I would have lost something. The problem with this example, though, is I can conceive of those other lives, which is more than what most animals can understand about their future self.
I've kicked around other hypothetical scenarios, such as the multiverse being real and copies of myself in other universes being killed, but that doesn't appear to be taking away even an unknown benefit to the me in this universe. So I haven't found a thought experiment scenario that puts us in the same ethical position as non-human animals. If you think about it, this makes sense, since I'm looking for something I can lose that I can't even conceive of.
What do you think? Are there other objections I'm overlooking? Or aspects to the ones I noted that make them stronger than they look?

Some of my thoughts on the subject: #1 perhaps you overestimate human awareness of the future; we may want certain futures to be realized and others to be avoided, but we have little to no certainty that any particular future will occur. Pessimists aren't right any more than optimists about the future. #2 Although I have no proof or corroborating evidence to support this, I suspect that the depth and breadth of an animal's memories may be an indication of the range of its sensation of the future, but even if that's not the case, then #3 we are amputating what would have been that animal's future when we kill it. We can't know what possible good (or evil) that animal might have caused to its family or friends, or to us humans. There are countless stories of animals saving humans or making life better for them. Many dogs (and other pets) are very stressed when they are taken to the vet. Granted, we take them for their own good, but they are anticipating a future unpleasantness that can last a considerable amount of time. Imagine how animals feel when they witness other animals being slaughtered or hear their cries. Just my thoughts.
Thanks for your thoughts!
On 1, I actually considered adding a passage describing how often our present self's desires trump our future self's needs. Of course, the reality is that means that the affective reactions from simulating short term rewards are stronger than the ones from simulating longer term rewards. And it often comes down to a series of bets. Making longer range bets is a lot easier if our short term needs are currently being met. In other words, it's a lot harder to wait for the second marshmallow if you're very hungry right now.
2. There actually is good evidence that the same brain regions involved in remembering past episodes are used for imagining future ones. Not everyone is convinced, but there seems good evidence that episodic memory is pervasive among mammals, which would mean so is imagining future episodes. What seems rare is the ability to deliberate on novel scenarios in that future imagining. But what may be even rarer, is fitting all those episodes into any kind of lifelong narrative. Here symbolic thought is a major asset. Imagine attempting to remember your life if you didn't have concepts like months, years, school, career, etc, to work with. It might all be a much hazier mess.
3. The amputation remark gives me an idea for a possible hypothetical comparison. Imagine if we were actually 17 dimensional beings, but the part we normally think of as ourselves, is just in the 3+1 dimensions we're familiar with, and that portion can't conceive of the rest. If a fully aware 17 dimensional being comes along and amputates parts of us that only exist in those other dimensions, has the 3+1 dimension portion of us lost anything meaningful?
Definitely we never know all the effects of something like taking the life of an animal. But that goes both ways. If we don't use animals to test medical treatments, how many humans might continue to suffer or die from illnesses with treatments we end up not having? The argument for farm animals is a bit tougher, but as Issing points out, the population of livestock is far higher than equivalently sized animals in nature. As cultured meat becomes increasingly cost effective, the livestock population may crash dramatically. At a species level, who are better off, the large numbers living in captivity, or the wild ones on the edge of extinction?
On animals witnessing others being slaughtered or hearing their cries, I think part of killing them humanely is avoiding that. Animals in a slaughter queue usually can't see the actual slaughter, and are put down in a manner that generally kills them quickly and painlessly, with no crying out, using something like a cattle bolt pistol. Although it takes public scrutiny to ensure that humane killing remains the norm.
obruchez says:
"At a species level, who are better off, the large numbers living in captivity, or the wild ones on the edge of extinction?"
I'm thinking more and more about this. This still sounds like science fiction to me, but I think we'll have to do more about the well-being of wild animals at some point in the future. We have more pressing issues to solve first, though, but they're not exclusive, as often.
Doing something about the situation for wild animals definitely seems like it would have to be a far future concern. It would require us to take control of entire ecological systems, while keeping them balanced and thriving. I'm not sure if there's any solution where we could give all the animals the habitat and freedom they're used to, without at least some predator-prey interactions. We might be forced to balance their short term wellbeing against longer term wellbeing, and the needs of some, like prey, over predators.
I've lately been thinking a bit about the source of ethics/morality, and my current conclusion is that it's all about goals. We have our own goals, but we also recognize goals in other entities, like animals, and ideally we should try to cooperate with those goals when possible, but always in consideration of our own goals. Cooperation means trying to maximize the values of everyone's goals when possible, even if that means accepting slightly less for your own goals.
So the main goals we see in animals is their goal to exist (not die) and their goal to not be in pain. We look at these in comparison with our goals of existing (eating), pleasure (eating tasty things), health (a long term goal related to the others, so, eating healthy), living comfortably (so, creating food cheaply), etc. Cooperation then appears in degrees, such as creating food less cheaply so as to avoid animal pain, or possibly eating food that is less tasty (and possibly less healthy) to avoid killing animals at all, etc.
If you want, you can even consider goals of species to continue. If we stopped raising cattle for exploiting them (for meat or milk), how long would they last "in the wild"? But there is danger here of using this reasoning to "rationalize" exploiting them. So the conversation goes on.
[are we ready to start talking about robot rights?]
I can see where you're coming from with goals. But as you end up concluding, it includes a lot of stuff, like plants, bacteria, and contemporary robots. It seems like goals, just by themselves, aren't sufficient. I think we need actual feelings, in the sense that the goals need to be involuntary, rooted in innate impulses, and that the drive to fulfill them isn't itself voluntary, and involves the involuntary mobilization of energy-using facilities. Crucially, it must be something that the system can override with yet more energy.
This gets into why a system might override those impulses. Because it predicts other innate impulses would be more satisfied by the override, that is, its simulation of scenarios leads to more high valued impulses being triggered, which overrides the current impulses, including the value of not using the energy for the override.
The ability to override, along with a system for determining when to override, is crucial. Without that, we have a system with goals, but basically just one following programming. This fits most life, including plant life, as well as current robots. We might consider it wrong to interfere with these goal oriented systems, but only in terms of what it means to other feeling systems, the ones with override capabilities.
The interesting question is whether we'll ever mass produce robots like this, even once we've figured out how to do it. Feelings exist in animals due to our evolutionary history. But there's no reason they have to exist in robots we build to accomplish certain tasks.
To be sure, we'll eventually have robots with many different goals, impulses they may have to selectively allow or inhibit based on simulated outcomes, but it's not clear those impulses will need to involve involuntary arousal, the involuntary mobilization of energy-using facilities. Without that, it might be hard to see them as having feelings, and therefore as subjects of moral concern.
There's also the issue that we can control what impulses a robot has. And we're unlikely to give them impulses centered on survival and procreation, at least not as their primary driving goals. If a minesweeping robot values finding mines over maintaining its existence, is there any ethical cause for concern?
Of course, eventually we may be able to change the goal/impulses of living systems. Which always gets us back to the sentient cow that wants to be eaten in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
You say "we need actual feelings", but I'm not sure what are "actual" feelings as opposed to some other kind.
It might help for me to define what I mean by a goal. An entity (agent) has a goal if there is some state of the world such that the entity has (designed/evolved) mechanisms whose proper ("intended") function (as described by Ruth Millikan) is to move the world toward that state when the world is not in that state. So living things tend to have the goal (and associated mechanisms) to stay living.
When you talk about "feelings", I translate that as part of the mechanisms for determining which actions to take to move the world towards the goal. When you talk about impulses (actions which move toward a state) being overridden, I just see multiple and competing goals (like "staying hidden" versus "getting food").
But you seem to suggest that just one goal is not enough. Why? I'm suggesting the morally correct thing to do is identify all of the impacted goals you can (competing or not) and accommodate those to a reasonable extent.
BTW, when we get towards generally intelligent robots, they should be doing the same thing.
I tried to give an idea about feelings above. But I did a post a while back which looks at it in detail.
The layers of emotional feelings
It is true that we're probably not going to get this dynamic unless there are multiple (probably several) feelings that at times contradict each other. Otherwise there's not much reason for mechanisms to evolve to figure out which of the impulses underlying a feeling to allow or inhibit. In other words, awareness of the impulse is necessary.
Why would one goal without awareness not be enough? Strictly speaking, there is no fact of the matter answer to that. If you decide it is enough, then for you it is. Ultimately there is no objective morality. But I'm not personally going to get worked up about a Roomba being denied its cleaning goal. (At least unless it happens to coincide with my desire for my house to be cleaned. 🙂 )
Matti Meikäläinen says:
First, I find Peter Singer's ethical approach—a simplistic utilitarianism—thin and outmoded. I also think utilitarianism has limits in ethical debate generally. Most contemporary ethicists reject Singer's version of consequentialist ethics which produces conclusions that are occasionally hard to stomach. In addition to his argument that parents have a right to kill their handicapped children, I found his argument to abandon prosecutions of old Nazi war criminals incoherent. In the latter case he confuses evidence of heinous criminal acts with facts which may support the mitigation of punishment, two different ethical concepts and a distinction that should be easy to discern. In short, I've learned to take Singer's philosophical conclusions with a grain of salt.
Second, there is much to discuss about the ethics of eating animals. It's something I've been working on for a while now. It was always a "back-burner" matter for me and I have yet to reach any final conclusions. I do think that the inquiry actually comprises different ethical issues which need to be separated. For example, there are different ethical assumptions and arguments based on a theory of animals "rights" verses a basic concern for animal cruelty, a subtle but I think real distinction. That is, we are generally repulsed at eating foie gras. But not I think because the bird had rights. Next, there are environmental arguments similar to the moral analysis applied to burning fossil fuels. And, often ignored, there are ethical arguments centered on proportionality. For example, is there a distinction between eating beef raised in crowded industrial feed lots which produce disproportionately small amounts of meat for the investment of grain in comparison to me raising a few free range chickens in my backyard for the eggs and the occasional chicken dinner? In short, it's an ethical issue whose time has come and it deserves much debate.
I had heard some of that about Singer's outlook, but this is the first I've heard about the Nazi war criminal views. I tend to think things like that pop out anytime we try to reduce ethics to one simple rule. You get conclusions very few people are prepared to accept. Morality seems just too complicated to be reduced to a few simple logical rules.
In the case of utilitarianism, or consequentialism more generally, it's always an issue how far to take the calculus. It seems like we keep going if we haven't hit the intuitively right answer, and stop once we do. But that seems to make the whole reasoning part redundant.
On eating animals, are you following the development of cultured meat, essentially meat grown in-vitro? If people accept it, it seems like it could have profound and dramatic effects on the meat industry. Our ethical dilemmas might change overnight from how we treat livestock, to how we can protect newly endangered species as the livestock populations collapse.
I think you are quite correct Mike. "Morality seems just too complicated to be reduced to a few simple logical rules." And the utilitarians are, in my opinion, the biggest offenders here. Frankly I'm surprised there are still serious utilitarians around.
By the way, I did not mean to paint you with my criticism of Singer. I realized I may have given that impression. I read Issing's article and had my usual negative reaction to his citation of Singer. For a good taste of Singer's views regarding old Nazi's, I suggest you watch the documentary titled "The accountant of Auschwitz." It's about the trial of Oskar Gröning. Singer is interviewed in the documentary for his interpretation.
I'm not familiar with cultured meat. Fascinating. I've really only stuck a toe in vegetarian waters. I eat vegetarian often and have cut out various types of meat as I explore the issue. It does seem odd to me that there are veggie "burgers" which are intended to mimic the taste of ground beef. What's the point? Many veggie meals are delicious without playing that strange game.
No worries Mattie. I didn't take your criticisms of Singer that way. Even if I had, it wouldn't change the facts you discussed. Though it does sound like Singer might deserve some credit for being willing to bite philosophical bullets.
My meat consumption has varied a lot over the years. There have been periods where I was effectively a lacto-ovo-vegetarian, not for any ethical or other philosophical reasons, but just where my tastes ran and what was convenient at the time. But I always veered back to eating some kind of meat. The US, at least the southern US, has historically made a vegetarian diet something of a pain.
I had a student worker from India once remark that she had no problems eating a vegan diet in her home country, which she did for religious reasons, but found it took a lot of work here. That was about 15 years ago. I think it's gotten a lot easier since then, but still far from the path of least resistance.
Elizabeth Ann Curran says:
Concerning the ethics of eating animals Joseph Campbell once said, "All life lives by killing and eating."
Must we then also consider the ethics of eating, say, live bean sprouts?
It does seem like as heterotrophs, we're pretty much stuck consuming other life. We don't have the option to just photosynthesize. (I doubt we'd get enough energy anyway.) At least as omnivores, we do have the option of getting by on plant food. Many predators, such as cats, don't have that flexibility. As Issing asked, if eating meat is bad, are we required to do something about all those predators?
I'm surprised the "what about all those predators?" argument isn't used more often. It's a quick and (too) easy comeback for a meat-eater to use against evangelist vegetarians. "Go catch that tiger and feed him vegetable proteins, and get back to me afterwards."
I suspect a vegan evangelist would retort that carnivores don't have a choice, but as omnivores we do. But with predators, things are even more complicated, because the tiger's wellbeing is enhanced by catching and killing his food, not having it handed to him in pieces. It's even worse for snakes who won't eat a mouse that they haven't killed. (Keeping a pet snake is not for those with a weak stomach.)
Sure, but that just opens many cans of worms. Many predators would eat veggie proteins if flavored with synthetic esters or what have you, and they were hungry enough. Or if they starved, still, it seems likely that more animals would survive overall. But whether or not such counter-counter-arguments have good answers, it's kind of a political embarrassment for many vegetarians to have to answer them at all. That's what I meant when I said I'm surprised carnivores don't jump on this more often. Not because it's necessarily a *good* argument, but because it's a *gotcha* one; a cheap shot if you will.
Victor Torvich says:
> "I'd agree that most animals can't be affected by that, because the observational evidence seems to indicate that the very idea of days, weeks, or months in the future is inconceivable to them."
Most birds and animals equip a nest or a cave in advance before giving birth to newborns. Sometimes parents have to grow newborns at that location for a long time. That is planning for days and weeks ahead.
Are you sure about that? Consider, do we ever see birds doing something else? Do they learn new nest building techniques from other birds? Do they ever do something radically different to accomplish the same goal? Or are they merely following species specific impulses at each step with an overall adaptive result that looks like planning ahead to us?
I think it depends on what we mean under "instinct," "planning," "consciousness," and so on.
What somebody explicitly said, and what she omits, when declaring what she means under this or that term – that is not just a methodological issue. An additional problem is how to find out when to stop digging into this hole of the exact meaning. In many discussions and books, we silently ignore all of that. Let's mark it as a success because that allows us to have finite (vs. infinite) discussions.
rung2diotimasladder says:
"…how sure are we that most animals can't in fact plan for the future?" Exactly. And I think scientists have a tendency to underestimate animals, although that may be changing. I hope it is.
Another argument you could make is that if differential treatment is justified for animals on the basis of their ability to think about their future selves, it could also be justified in babies and the severely mentally disabled, and do we want to go there?
I know it's sort of an irritating thing to bring up babies…it seems like they always come up in discussions about animal intelligence.
On underestimating animals, it seems to depend on the scientist. Some set standards for animals that even some humans might not pass. While others are prepared to see cognition in plants and unicellular organisms. But I think most take the stance that if a particular behavior can be explained by less sophisticated cognition, than the more sophisticated version shouldn't be assumed.
I think it's fair to bring up babies and mentally disabled humans. I brought them up with Peter Carruthers, a philosopher who has historically been skeptical of animal consciousness, and in just the last few years has moved to saying there's no fact of the matter on it. I pointed out his criteria would also leave no fact of the matter for exactly those categories. To his credit, he bit the bullet and agreed.
The response Issing provides in his piece is that we can't be sure what capabilities babies or mentally disabled people might have. But we have examples of mentally complete humans who can understand their future (or lack thereof). The problem is with most species, we have no such examples. So, the argument goes, there are much stronger reasons to suspect a human baby might have some incipient idea of its possible future than, say, a rat. Whether you accept that depends on how certain you think we can be that most animals don't have that capability.
There's also an argument about how interwoven human babies and disabled people are into society as compared to animals. I'm not sure why anyone thinks that is a compelling argument though. People have been known to risk their life to save their dog or other pet.

Home People Tsholo Dikobe: The Rising Fashion Icon
The inscription on her popular blog, The Khoi Fro, condenses Tsholo Dikobe's passions as much more than being one of Africa's foremost rising fashion icons and trend forecasters. She writes: "I am kissed by the sun – twice. Words tend to fail me, but I speak fluent volumes through life's accessories: Fashion, Art, Love, Music, Family, Laughter! I am on that champagne life, on a lemonade budget." Indeed this is a fashionista we will all get to love in 2014 and beyond…
The African Woman Magazine first met Tsholo Dikobe at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Africa in Pretoria last November. It was love at first sight, so to speak. Among the many fashionistas, she clearly stood out. Not only did we spot her rather inimitable style, but hey, we fell for her Afro-hairdo too. What's not to love? Back at base we decided without hesitation that she had all the ingredients that define the NAW ethos, and we hope this is not thTe first and last of Tsholo in our pages. We believe you will concur that she should be a staple, who shares her style tips with us regularly. Therefore, this is our first step to bringing you more from the fashion icon Africa cannot do without.
Esteemed readers, meet fashion heroine Tsholo, all the way from the equally lovely Botswana. This is a woman who takes the word 'fashion' way beyond its literal meaning. She says: "Growing up, when words failed me I spoke fluent volumes through the 'science of appearances' – fashion. The 'sciences of appearances' – outward appearances to inner wellbeing, have always been my passion. I have developed a keen interest in how society can be influenced by an item of clothing. For this reason I fell in love with fashion and culture, the creative arts and its industry as a whole.
"I have explored my own creative identity while integrating art and culture, fashion and textile research, material testing, art direction, innovation and creative techniques, trends, branding, creative entrepreneurship and sustainability. On the other hand, I sensitise my community about sustainable fashion and advocate for creativity and confidence building through fashion."
Tsholo's passion for fashion does not end there. She is also founder, artistic director and one half of the fashion blog duo, GaTsh Fros (Gaone and Tsholo), one of Botswana's foremost fashion consultancies, which focuses on advocating creativity and confidence building through fashion. The duo are unapologetic about their non-conformist fashion sense:
"Our personal style is GaTsh. We 'mix and miss' deliberately. We like breaking rules. We just don't read terms and conditions, because we are fearless pretty young [fashion] thugs. We wear anything we want and how we want it…[if] you think it's insane, then we love that as a compliment… if you can't understand how we dress, it brings us so much joy… We don't dress to impress," the girls say on their must-visit blog. Tsholo explains further to NAW about the venture:
"GaTsh Fros was founded in 2011 and works with Botswana Fashion designers on brand positioning and retail strategies. GaTsh Fros together with The Voice newspaper (in Botswana) features a select list of talented up-and-coming designers and fashion entrepreneurs in the country. The platform has been instrumental in raising the profile of the Botswana fashion industry, and has drawn it to international attention."
But Tsholo's talents do not end there. She has a design background, having created handmade pieces for her business and her partners at GaTsh Fros, themed 'eco-gatshy', thus it is no surprise that designing is definitely in the pipeline for her for 2014.
She tells NAW: "For 2014, I would like to design a staple collection for Botswana which shows the essence of being an African and a Motswana. My work is inspired by a vision I have for Africa and Africans. I seek to empower my community about everything there is to know about their history, habitat, fashion and culture and art of their lives through fashion."
Tsholo cites acclaimed African fashion designers such as Nigeria's Maki Oh, South Africa's David Tlale and Palesa Mukubung Mantsho, and Tanzania's Mustafa Hassanali as among her favourites. With such laudable inspirations, this style and fashion queen truly has her work anchored on solid ground. Her own brand will be awaited with high anticipation. On her behalf, we say 2014, bring it on!

City of Bristol, NRCS seek Corps permit to stabilize failing stream bank upstream of Jacobs Street Bridge in Bristol
CONCORD, Mass. – The city of Bristol and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are seeking a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District to conduct work in waters of the United States in conjunction with stabilizing a failing stream bank upstream of the Jacobs Street Bridge in Bristol, Conn.
Storm flows associated with Tropical Storm Irene resulted in a bank failure along the left bank of the Pequabuck River upstream of Jacobs Street in Bristol. The bank failure occurred approximately halfway between the Jacobs Street and Tulip Street bridges. Given the proximity of the failure to existing residences and the severity of the failure, the Natural Resources Conservation Service has offered to partially fund stabilization efforts, with the caveat that this money be expended as soon as possible.
Improvements must be made to this area due to the severity of impacts as well as the potential for long-term damage to structures if erosion continues unabated.
The Pequabuck River through Rockwell Park is a relatively natural channel with riffle/pool morphology. The channel is laterally unconfined and is located in a broad valley of stratified drift outwash sediments. The substrate of the river through the park consists of coarse sand, gravel, stones, and boulders while the banks are steep and vegetated, underlain with sandy till soil.
The applicants propose natural stabilization of the bank through regrading and re-vegetation. Conceptual plans for this alternative call for relocating the toe of the slope some 28 feet into the existing channel. This fill in the channel would be offset by the excavation of material from the right bank. The channel width would be retained at 30 feet with a bankfull width of 42 feet and bankfull depth of three feet. The realignment would entail the relocation of approximately 340 linear feet of channel upstream of the Jacobs Street Bridge, but would not affect the existing park facilities on the right bank.
Results of hydraulic modeling suggest that this project will not have any significant adverse impacts to the water surface elevation of the Pequabuck River. Encroachment (floodway) modeling is ongoing to verify that the project meets the FEMA standard of less than 0.01 feet of rise.
The application for the federal permit was filed with the Corps of Engineers in compliance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which regulates the discharge or fill of material in United States waters, including
wetlands. The public notice can be viewed on the Corps website at http://www.nae.usace.army.mil. Select Regulatory/Permitting and then weekly public notice.
Public comments on the Corps permit review (File # NAE-2011-2156) should be forwarded no later than Nov. 23, 2011 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, Regulatory Division (ATTN: Michael Riccio), 696 Virginia Road, Concord, MA 01742-2751. Additional information is available from Permit Project Manager Michael Riccio at 978-318-8685 or toll free 800-343-4789 or 800-362-4367 (if calling from within Massachusetts) or by email to: michael.s.riccio@usace.army.mil.

Sois belle et tais-toi (Be Pretty and Shut Up) is a feminist documentary film  by French actress and director Delphine Seyrig, shot in 1976 and released in 1981. It is available at the Centre audiovisuel Simone de Beauvoir in Paris.

The film is a series of interviews with various well-known film actresses, including Jenny Agutter, Maria Schneider, and Jane Fonda. The title, which is borrowed from a 1958 film with the same name by Marc Allégret, refers to the sense the actresses have of what is expected of them by the film industry.

A Brief History of Instapaper Until November 2016, Instapaper offered Instapaper Premium for those who wanted to get the most out of Instapaper. This paid subscription offered a range of extra features for $2.99/month or $29.99/year. And it was pretty popular.
Then, after being acquired by Pinterest, Instapaper dropped Premium, offering its previously paid-for features up for free. In July 2018, Instapaper became independent once again, and now, less than a month later, Instapaper Premium is back.

Q: Classifying manifolds What would you answer if someone asks you,
Why are the classification theorems of manifolds so important? Why was the classification of surfaces celebrated?

A: I suppose there's several closely-related reasons.  One would be that manifolds are homogeneous objects -- they look the same near any point in them.  So there's no natural thing to start counting if you're trying to classify them.  In that regard they're fairly "slippery" objects.  Secondly, I suppose this is hind-sight but perhaps you could come to this conclusion from the 1st point, classification of manifolds is a hard problem in that quite a lot of ideas go into their classification.  And I suppose a 3rd point is that manifolds are fairly generic geometric objects (according to things like Sard's Theorem) so it's nice to know something about objects that appear frequently in many branches of mathematics and in applied subjects.

A: On many occasions, one finds that when solving some problem (not necessarily directly related to geometry) one needs to understand the structure of a certain set, which might happen to be a differentiable manifold. Knowing, for example, that a set is diffeomorphic to $[0,1]$ or $\mathbb{S}^1$ let's you attack the problem in a concrete way(at least knowing a priori that what you're studying is similar to these concrete manifolds), instead of trying to prove theorems for general manifolds which might or might not be true.

Purposefully making yourself uncomfortable can help you push beyond your limits and accomplish more.
Standing barefoot in the snow. Soaking in a tub of icy water. Taking a plunge in a cold lake. These things sound really uncomfortable and a little crazy, right? But investigative journalist Scott Carney says a regular habit of any of them can improve your health and reduce your stress.
Carney discovered the life-changing power of extreme environments in 2013 when he set out to debunk eccentric Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof's claim that he could control his body temperature and immune system at will. Carney had just written about another so-called guru who had lost touch with reality in the pursuit of enlightenment, and he was pretty sure Hof was another charlatan.
The experience prompted Carney to eventually climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but shorts and hiking boots, and sit on the snowy banks of a river until the ice melted around him. He chronicles his limit-pushing adventures in his new book, What Doesn't Kill Us: How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude and Environmental Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength, and suggests that extreme activities (when done with a doctor's approval) could improve your life, too.
Regular exposure to cold triggers a number of processes to warm up the body, and those adjustments will help regulate blood sugar, exercise the circulatory system, and heighten mental awareness, says Carney. Studies have shown cold exposure treatment can help with conditions such as Crohn's and Parkinson's disease and obesity.
Or keep your thermostat at 63 degrees. "It's right at a point where you might feel like you might need to shiver," he says. "And one of the things we do in the training is we suppress your natural shiver response to make your body find a different way to heat itself. And this is usually ramping up the metabolism. And by doing that, you'll burn more calories, you'll get thinner, but you'll also just be more adapted. You will use less energy in general, and that's a good thing.

The Reflector published my letter here.
Who will light rail serve? Will it reduce traffic congestion?
The CRC demonstrated the planned new bridge with light rail would reduce the morning southbound commute time by one minute. That was because Oregon refuses to add new through lanes to I-5 at the Rose Quarter. Furthermore, roughly $2,000 per year in tolls would be required to pay back borrowed money. Southwest Washington residents would pay up to 60 percent of those tolls.
Every past new light rail line saw a reduction in bus service by TriMet. They simply reduced or eliminated bus service to force people to use the more expensive light rail transit.
C-Tran currently offers seven separate "express" bus lines into Portland. They travel both the I-5 and the I-205 corridors. In 2017, only 1,437 people used these express buses on an average day. That's a rounding error of the 310,000 vehicles WSDOT reports cross the Columbia River daily. Furthermore, since the light rail would only travel the I-5, it would attract a small, unknown portion of the 1,437 people.
John Charles of the Cascade Policy Institute reports TriMet's light rail carries just under one percent of the region's daily trips. Furthermore, all mass transit carries less than 5 percent of trips. As the recent PEMCO survey reported, 94 percent of people prefer to use their privately owned vehicles.
The MAX yellow line travels at an average speed of 18 mph. There are nine stops between Delta Park and the Rose Quarter in addition to congested downtown Portland streets. Current C-Tran express buses are faster for commuters than riding light rail.
The TriMet Milwaukie MAX extension cost $200 million per mile. The Tigard/Tualatin proposal will be $240 million per mile. Compare that with a $500,000 bus. A bus has "flexible" routing, when there are traffic accidents, weather, or other problems. Trains can't divert.
Contrary to what Governor Inslee says, light rail is not required to get federal money. The CRC had $830 million federal "transit dollars" plus $400 million non-transit federal dollars. The "transit" could be buses. Our Congresswoman can fight for non-transit funds.
CTran staff provided me the 1,437 passengers riding any of the seven "Express" bus lines into Portland on an average day. Here a graphic from the Columbian of earlier years and the trend.
Historical data on vehicles crossing the Columbia River.
Here is historical CTran ridership numbers courtesy of the Washington Policy Center.
Here is a graphic from the Columbian, regarding the PEMCO survey showing 94% of people prefer their privately owned vehicle, and 74% found it to be the most convenient.
John Charles of the Cascade Policy Institute said the following about TriMet ridership in a Feb. 2018 post.
TriMet's ridership is in a steady decline. It peaked in fiscal year 2012 and ridership has dropped in each of the last three years. Only 2.4% of total travel in the Portland region takes place on transit, making it irrelevant or even a nuisance to most taxpayers.
Light rail has lower ridership today than before the Orange line to Milwaukie was built. During FY 2017, boarding rides per-hour on MAX reached the lowest level since light rail opened in 1986.
The estimated to cost of TriMet's proposed Tigard/Tualatin light rail extension is $2.6 billion to $2.9 billion according to this Oregonian news report. It will be a 12 mile extension with 13 proposed stops.

The many, many flaws in the CRC, including the ONE MINUTE improvement in the morning, southbound commute and many of the financial flaws, is published in this excellent Willamette Week article — here.

U.S. boosts security, warns risk of violence at pro-Trump Capitol rally
By David Shepardson
and Jan Wolfe
The sun rises behind the U.S. Capitol, surrounded by a security fence ahead of an expected rally Saturday in support of the Jan. 6 defendants in Washington, U.S. September 16, 2021. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst
WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Travelers arriving at the airport nearest Washington, D.C., will face increased security in the run-up to a planned Saturday rally supporting people charged with taking part in the deadly Jan. 6 riot, the Transportation Security Administration said.
"Travelers will notice increased law enforcement and canine presence along with a generally higher level of awareness in TSA's intelligence-driven, risk-based approach to transportation security," a TSA spokesperson told Reuters, referring to Reagan National Airport in Virginia just across the Potomac River.
Hundreds of far-right demonstrators are expected in the District of Columbia for the "Justice For J6" rally, a reference to the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump in an attempt to stop certification of President Joe Biden's election victory.
On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security warned about the potential for violence at the rally planned for Saturday, according to a memo shared with state and local authorities and obtained by CNN.
One U.S. official who read the warning told Reuters it said homeland security officials lacked "specific credible information" regarding any individual or groups' plans for violence. The official said the warning appeared to be based on social media postings rather than intelligence gathered from sources inside organizations involved in organizing Sept. 18 events.
Trump has maintained his false claims that his defeat was due to widespread election fraud, even after his assertion was rejected by multiple courts, state election authorities and members of his own administration.
The pro-Trump group organizing the Sept. 18 rally, Look Ahead America, has alleged that the more than 600 people facing criminal charges over the Jan. 6 riots have been mistreated and singled out because of their political views.
Police have ramped up security around the Capitol in response, mindful of the rioters on Jan. 6 who attacked police, smashed windows into the building and sent lawmakers and then-Vice President Mike Pence running for safety.
Four people died on Jan. 6, one fatally shot by police and three from medical emergencies. A Capitol Police officer who had been attacked by protesters died the following day. Four police officers who took part in the defense of the Capitol later committed suicide.
Workers were reassembling a fence that was put up around the white-domed Capitol following that day but had been taken down in July.
The fencing separated the lawns of the Capitol grounds from other government landmarks including the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, congressional office buildings and the Capitol Reflecting Pool just west of Capitol Hill, where protesters were scheduled to gather on Saturday.
There were few other signs of beefed-up security, though plexiglass police shields could be seen stacked at police checkpoints inside doorways to the Capitol building.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Capitol Police said the Pentagon has been asked to provide National Guard troops if needed.
Trump referred to the upcoming protest in a statement on Thursday, saying, "Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election."
Police and congressional leaders said they are prepared for Saturday's protest. Most members of Congress will be out of town.
House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, participating at a forum in Britain on Thursday, said, "They have their plans. Everybody will be more ready for them."

Hanson plans Padeswood upgrade
Published by Rebecca Bowden, Assistant Editor
World Cement, Monday, 15 May 2017 09:09
Hanson Cement is planning a £20 million upgrade project at its Padeswood cement plant in Flintshire, in order to guarantee the long-term future of the plant and its employees.
At the heart of the project is the installation of a new vertical roller mill for cement grinding, which will improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption and increase output. Hanson also plans to invest in new rail loading facilities to allow cement to be delivered by train, reducing lorry movements.
Currently, the plant has four operational mills, but they are old and inefficient, and do not have the capacity to grind the volume of clinker made by the kiln. This has created a production imbalance, and means that some of the clinker must be transported elsewhere for grinding.
The project also includes the construction of new cement silos alongside the existing railway line to load trains for delivery. Presently, the rail link is used to bring in coal for the kilns. In the future, three trains a week will be dispatched to Hanson's depots in London, Bristol and Scotland.
Plant manager Steve Hall said: "The plan is to mothball three of the old mills and install a new vertical roller mill capable of grinding up to 650,000 tonnes of clinker a year. The new mill will be fully enclosed in a building, minimising noise and reducing the potential for escape of cement dust."
A planning application will be submitted to Flintshire County Council in the summer, with work beginning later this year if it is approved. The new mill aims to be fully operational by early 2019.
Hanson is holding public exhibitions to explain the plans to local residents on 23 and 24 May.

I did have a LSI HBA working in the Gen10. I will try a few things when I get a chance.
I think the Marvell controller is fine as a HBA though, right?
Mostly I wondered about hardware RAID's with this system.
I'm not sure how well the built in AHCI is suited for ZFS, for example, but the hardware has been supported in Linux generally for a while.
I spoke to a guy in the UK over the weekend and he has got a IBM LSI ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA PCIe RAID Controller working in his, so it should be possible. I am going to borrow an HP P410 Raid Card next and will give that a try.
I picked up a SAS 9261-8i, it is actaully a SUN/Oracle 375-3701. I installed it in the MS Gen10. I have Windows 10 running on a drive connected to the ODD SATA port. I have the server set to UEFI. I could not get to the MegaRaid setup during post. In Windows I was able to load the MSM and configure an array. It all seems to be working. I will try to switch it back to legacy BIOS and see if I can get to the Megaraid setup during POST.
Let me know if there are specific things you would like me to check out.
Thanks for doing this Schoon, it's very helpful!
Did the system POST slowly with the LSI card installed? I remember the gen8 would hang for a few minutes with a none HP RAID controller installed, then eventually continue.
It seems strange that you can't get into the RAID BIOS? Do you see the prompt for this, or is it somehow hidden?
Post has been getting slower on the MS Gen10 the more I expirement. I think I need to clear the BIOS and start clean.
With UEFI boot enabled the MegaRAID login screen never shows in post.
I set the BIOS back to legacy boot and now the MegaRAID login is available during POST.
The firmware is very old, I will update that next. I have the last version from SUN/Oracle.
Still trying to determine what the latest Broadcon/Avago/LSI firmware is for a 9261-8i.
Current boot time legacy mode from power button push to Windows login is one minute fifty eight seconds.
The drives I am testing with are older and slower, HDS5C3020ALA632.
When I get a chance I will flip it back to UEFI boot and see what happens.
Fun day playing in the lab.
I installed a HPE H220 HBA and it worked fine in the MS Gen10.
So, then I pulled my P222 out of my MS Gen8 and installed it in the MS Gen10. With the server in legacy boot it worked fine!
I set up a RAID5 array.
When I have time I will go back and try UEFI boot.
I assume I had the server in UEFI boot the last time I tested. I was also running an older BIOS, perhaps that was part of the issue.
I rebooted several times and all is working.

Chazen Screens "Southern Rites," UW Alum's Documentary on Racially Charged Murder

Over 300 people attended a screening and public reception for the HBO documentary Southern Rites at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Tuesday night.
Southern Rites was directed and produced by acclaimed photographer and UW-Madison alumna Gillian Laub. Award-winning singer-songwriter John Legend served as Executive Producer alongside UW-Madison alumna Lisa Heller as supervising producer for HBO.
In addition to the screening, The Chazen Museum of Art opened the Southern Rite visual arts exhibition since Jan. 25 and have hosted a number of free public programs.
"We're always interested in showing the work and sharing (the work) of our alumni," said McKenzie Glynn-Zdrale, program director for Alumni Park and Place at Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association..
The documentary began when Laub brought a town unwanted attention with her cameras. In 2002, Spin magazine sent her on assignment to Mount Vernon, Georgia in order to document the lives of teenagers in the American South. New York Times Magazine published Laub's photographs of segregated proms in 2009.
The film goes well beyond prom, though — it follows the aftermath when 62-year-old white man Norman Neesmith is charged with the murder of 22-year-old black man Justin Patterson after catching him and his brother in his daughter's room late one night.
"This man will never know what he has done to my family. No one will ever get me to ever understand why it was necessary to kill my son. This was senseless death to me and it just didn't have to happen," the victim's mother Dedee Clarke stated in front of a courtroom.
In the documentary, you see a tearful mother and a shooter Norman Neesmith putting his head down. Southern Rites features scenes of the victims' mother, interviews with legal experts, and Neesmith himself. While the trial occurs Laub also follows the election campaign for Calvin Burns who would have been the first African American sheriff.
In partnership with Chazen Art Museum, Glynn-Zdrale said the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association have seen an overwhelming display of interest in the event. The registration for the screening was already at capacity days before the event; however, the Chazen Art Museum livestreamed the Q&A on their Facebook page. The Q&A, moderated by Chazen Museum of Art Director Amy Gilman featured both Heller and the filmmaker Laub.
"She has an incredible eye and that transition from still photographer to making a moving movie tormented her in all the right ways and she's really genuinely struggling with how to tell three stories that had to be braided together which was apart of the challenge," Heller said.
She also said Laub brought the care and attention people would want from a filmmaker when addressing a serious topic. Rather than parachuting into the community, Laub returned to the area and developed relationships with the residents for several years.
"I think it was mostly the white community that was angry that I was there," Laub said.
The filmmaker discussed her experience working on the film and interacting with the residents of the town. She remembers feeling intimidated by law enforcement but eventually asserting her right to be there. Since, Laub has returned for screenings after the documentary aired on HBO, during Stacey Abrams gubernatorial campaign and even for a wedding.
She said for her as a filmmaker it is important to enter a community with an open mind, placing her opinions aside. Laub explained her process of entering a new community when working on a project. She said she could learn something from anyone.
"I knew I was coming from the outside and I often questioned myself like do I have a right to tell this story," she said.
Laub thought it was important to get the story right. She often spent time in intimate spaces with individuals, interviewing them in their bedrooms and inside their homes. Laub hoped to explore the different lens of individuals throughout the project.
While some might have missed the event, the Southern Rites documentary can be found on HBO's platforms and Chazen archived the Q&A on their Facebook page. Laub's visual art exhibition of Southern Rites will be open to the public until May 12.
