Economic History: State of the Field in Historically Speaking
"But with the slow menace of a glacier, depression came on," Frances Perkins lamented in 1934. "No one had any measure of its progress; no one had any plan for stopping it. Everyone tried to get out of its way." How did this thing happen and when will it end? Common questions back in the Dirty Thirties.
Today, journalists, historians, policymakers, and so many others are grasping for some handle on the current economic slump. What's the historical context of economic trouble? What went wrong? Could it have been avoided? "Some brilliant scholar has to write a comprehensive history of modern economics," says David Brooks in the NYT, "because the evolution of this field is clearly one of the most consequential things happening in the world today." Brooks' speculates: "One gets the sense, at least from the outside, that the intellectual energy is no longer with the economists who construct abstract and elaborate models. Instead, the field seems to be moving in a humanist direction."*
Others disagree. Over a month ago Diane Coyle penned an essay for the Chronicle on how "Economics Is on the Verge of a Golden Age." "An astonishing explosion of creativity and intellectual progress has been under way for years in a number of areas," observes Coyle. "Consider competition economics (should the Department of Justice challenge the Google Books settlement on antitrust grounds?), the application of game theory or the use of market design (what's the best system for matching newly qualified doctors or Ph.D.'s to jobs?), development economics, the economics of technological change and network markets (what prices should mobile-phone companies charge for access to one another's networks?), and the study of long-term growth."*
The latest issue of Historically Speaking (April 2010) features a forum on "The Neglected Field of Economic History?" Senior editor Donald Yerxa organized the forum with a generous grant from the Earhart Foundation. I paste below Yerxa's intro to the forum and short excerpts from each essay. (Read the full forum and other material from the new issue of HS at Project Muse.)
No graduate student in history in the 1970s could escape economic history. One of the major professional debates of that era—about the cliometrics of Robert Fogel and Stanley Engerman's Time on the Cross—went well beyond historiographical interpretation to encompass seemingly fundamental differences over the nature of historical methodology. But where does economic history stand now? In this our third in a series of four forums we asked several leading economic historians to assess the state of their field. Robert Whaples gets our conversation started with the forum's lead essay. Philip Hoffman, Deirdre McCloskey, Joel Mokyr, and Werner Troesken respond, followed by a rejoinder from Whaples.
"Is Economic History a Neglected Field of Study?"
Robert Whaples
In the fall of 2008 and early 2009 it looked to many weary and wary workers, investors, policy makers, and analysts as though the U.S. economy was about to fall off a cliff into an abyss as bottomless as the Great Depression. What on Earth was going on? Everyone wanted to know, and many turned to history—economic history—for answers. The press burgeoned with interviews and insights from economic historians who were called to Washington and New York to offer advice. Indeed, Christina Romer, an economic historian from University of California, Berkeley, whose pioneering early research examined historical trends in economic volatility and who has done influential research on the causes of the Great Depression and the recovery from it, was tapped by President Barack Obama to be chair of the Council of Economic Ad- visors. And Ben Bernanke, a former Princeton University economist and author of Essays on the Great Depression (2000), held—and still holds—the most powerful economic policy making position in the world as chair of the Federal Reserve.
In these turbulent times, it became obvious to almost everyone that understanding economic his- tory is useful, indeed essential, and economic historians are indispensible. And yet many economic historians have the sense that their discipline is a neglected field, a field on the margins, caught in a no man's land between two disciplines: ignored and underappreciated by economists and misunderstood, feared, and perhaps even despised by historians. Most economic historians sense that the discipline has almost always been on the margins and that this marginalization has increased appreciably since the end of a brief golden age that glimmered during the 1960s and into the 1970s.
To understand this situation, I'll begin—as economic historians almost always begin—by doing some counting. . . . read on>>>
"Response to Robert Whaples"
Philip T. Hoffman
To make the picture even more depressing, Whaples (being the good economic historian that he is) backs up his assertions with solid evidence. One could easily add to it. To judge by the titles of articles in mainstream history journals (the American Historical Review, the Journal of American History, the Journal of Modern History, Past and Present), interest in economic history is vanishing.1 Dissertations in economic history in history departments are rare.2 And citations suggest that major works of economic history can pass unnoticed by the history profession even when they address issues that once fascinated many non-economic historians.3
My personal experience, if it is worth anything, suggests much the same. Older historians I know who were trained in the 1970s may not write economic history, but they do seem willing to pay attention to it. They also seem open to borrowing from the social sciences and to the possibility of generalization—in other words, to the notion that what they have unearthed in the archives is not necessarily a special case. . . . read on>>>
"One More Step: An Agreeable Reply to Whaples"
Deirdre N. McCloskey
I agree with every word of Robert Whaples's elegant and well-grounded essay.1 Whaples doesn't say things until he has the goods—and as he says, we people from the economic side tend to think of the goods as numbers. It's very true, as he also says, that our numerical habits have repelled the history-historians, especially since they have in turn drifted further into non-quantitative studies of race, class, and gender (it is amusing that the young economic historian Whaples quotes gets the holy trinity slightly wrong, substituting "ethnicity," a very old historical interest, for "class," a reasonably new one; it is less amusing that historians believe they can adequately study race, class, and gender without ever using numbers, beyond pages 1, 2, 3).
But it's also true, as is shown by the fierce and ignorant quotations he reports from other economists and economic historians, that quantitative social scientists don't get the point of the humanities. "Whenever I read historians," said a young economic historian to Whaples, "my response is: How can you say that without a number? Do you have a number?" Many social scientists, and especially those trained as economists, believe adamantly that, as Lord Kelvin put it in 1883, "when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the state of Science." The young economists nowadays believe this so fervently that rather than deviating ever from their faith they insist on collecting sometimes quite meaningless numbers (such as what is known as "statistical significance," or what they are pleased to call "calibrations" of a hypothetical model unbelievable on its face). . . . read on>>>
"On the Supposed Decline and Fall of Economic History"
Joel Mokyr
Much like the West, the field of economic history has experienced endless lamentations of its imminent decline and fall. Whaples's basic argument that economic historians as a group are disrespected by economists and feared and despised by historians is typical of this kind of premature eulogy. The Cliometric Revolution had all been so promising back in the 1970s, and now all we are good for is telling a few stories about past economic crises to entertain our fellow economists or supply them with a telling historical anecdote to decorate the first paragraph of some technical paper. How bad are things, really?
It has never been easy to be an economic historian. Much like Jews in their diaspora, they belong simultaneously in many places and nowhere at all. They are perennial minorities, often persecuted, exiled, accustomed to niche existences, surviving by their wits and by (usually) showing solidarity to one another. They must work harder, and know more. . . . read on>>>
"Toward a Richer, More Diverse Intellectual Marketplace? A Response to Whaples"
Werner Troesken
Mostly I agree with Robert Whaples. Economic history is a neglected field in both economics and history. I have only two concerns. First, Whaples quotes a historian who characterizes cliometrics as generating "trivial" and "unreliable" results. I spent nearly fifteen years in a history department producing work in cliometrics. While I often felt isolated, which is the reason I left, my experience was nothing at all like that implied by the quotation. With a few unimportant exceptions, I always felt that my colleagues in history respected my work. I realize that my experience might not be representative, but I want to offer that qualification up front. Second, I think Whaples overstates the degree to which economists reject historical evidence and the broader enterprise that cliometricians call economic history. Although economic history could be held in higher esteem by economists than it currently is, there is evidence to suggest that economic history still has its place in economics departments.
But, whatever my quibbles, Whaples raises an important question: What is it about the field of economic history that undermines its position among both economists and historians? What follows is a crude and preliminary attempt to answer this question. . . . read on>>>
"Is Economic History a Neglected Field of Study? Final Thoughts"
There is considerable good sense in the comments of my four colleagues. I certainly didn't mean to suggest that economic history is "ready for hospice care" and "doomed to extinction," or to deliver a "eulogy." Rather, my fundamental point, which all seem to agree on, is that, despite manifest evidence that economic historians continue to produce a high-quality product that more historians and economists should go out and read, the current amount of output in the economic history industry is below the social optimum. The demand is too low.
I don't blame economic historians for this. Collectively, we are not as haughty as some of my quotes may suggest. And although we may not have all the breadth, polish, and ability to marshal evidence suggested by my commentators, economic historians are immensely practical. . . . read on>>>

Will he or won't he? Durango Herald reporter Bret Hauff asked outgoing Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper if will run for president of the United States. The guv has been notoriously cagey about his presidential aspirations. We asked him 10 different ways if he plans to run. He gave us 10 different answers. Watch for yourself to see if we tripped him up enough to force a definitive yes or no.

Renee Zellweger won the Academy Award as best supporting actress for her role as plucky Ruby Thewes in the 2003 Civil War drama Cold Mountain. Zellweger is an athletic Texas native whose early roles were in youth-oriented movies like Dazed and Confused (1993) and Reality Bites (1994). Her career took a great leap forward when she co-starred with Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire, one of the top-grossing films of 1996. In the year 2000 she was romantically linked with Jim Carrey, her co-star in the film Me, Myself and Irene, but the two ended their much-discussed romance that December. In 2001 Zellweger had the title role in Bridget Jones' Diary, the film of the popular Helen Fielding novel, and she received rave reviews and an Oscar nomination for her performance as Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago (2002, with Richard Gere). Her other films include Nurse Betty (2000, with Greg Kinnear), Down With Love (2003, co-starring Ewan McGregor), and Cinderella Man (2005, with Russell Crowe).
The role of Roxie Hart was originated on Broadway by Gwen Verdon… Zellweger married country music star Kenny Chesney in May of 2005, but four months later announced that the marriage would be annulled… According to a 2005 story in The Times of London, "Her father Emil is a Swiss engineer who worked for the Houston Light and Power company, her mother is a Norwegian nurse called Kjellfrid."

The Dakota Access Pipeline protests have illuminated other health crises among Native American populations, including a persistent lack of reproductive health care for Indigenous women.
Amie Newman, a blogger for Our Bodies Ourselves, argues that the problem originated with colonial sterilization campaigns and continues today with inadequate federal support for Native health services.
This history of discrimination and inequity, she contends, creates an environment that does not support bodily autonomy. Native American women are almost twice as likely to be raped as other American women. And prohibitive regulations, scarce resources, and geographic isolation make contraception, abortion, prenatal care, and preventative treatment for chronic diseases hard to obtain.

US Navy Fleet Readiness Center East H-53 Heavy-lift Helicopters Line Ends Fiscal Year with Strong Push
A Vietnam-era aircraft platform facing a challenging supply posture seems an unlikely candidate for an underdog victory story. But that's just what happened when Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) artisans made a hard push to the finish line to complete and return to the fleet two H-53 heavy-lift helicopters – each having seen various stages of work stoppage during their repair at the depot – before the end of fiscal year 2021. With a cross-disciplinary group of support entities behind them, the team finished the job just under the wire, delivering the first aircraft Sept. 29 and the second Sept. 30.
Those two aircraft helped FRCE's Rotary Wing Division meet its goal of delivering 43 completed Planned Maintenance Interval (PMI) events in fiscal year 2021. The division includes the H-53 line, along with the UH-1N line and the V-22 production line at FRCE and its remote sites at the North Carolina Global TransPark in Kinston; Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina; and Hurlburt Field in Florida. Often, the H-53 production line at FRCE has to work with engineering and manufacturing programs within the depot to produce a one-off part or develop a new procedure for a repair process that hasn't been conducted before.
"Having the H-53 line push hard to the end helped fill a critical need for H-53 aircraft within the fleet. This effort is a great example of the skill and dedication shared by our entire team at FRC East. I couldn't be more proud of the workforce and their continual efforts to provide the highest level of service to the fleet. The H-53 team faces hurdles that no other line faces simply because of the age of the aircraft, and I'm very proud of the team. I can't say enough about the support we receive from manufacturing and engineering to resolve issues that have never been seen before.," said FRCE Commanding Officer Col. Thomas A. Atkinson.
Fleet Readiness Center East's H-53 production line conducts ground turn operations on aircraft undergoing the final two Planned Maintenance Interval events the line completed in fiscal year 2021. The H-53 line finished the fiscal year with a hard push to the finish line to complete and return to the fleet two H-53 heavy-lift helicopters – each having seen various stages of work stoppage during their repair at the depot – and help FRCE's Rotary Wing Division meet its goal of producing 43 completed PMI events before the end of the fiscal year.
The H-53E is a sundowning aircraft, said David Williams, director of FRCE's Rotary Wing Division, which means it is nearing the end of its life cycle within the fleet as its planned replacement, the new CH-53K King Stallion, completes testing and evaluation. This status can make it difficult for FRCE's partners in Naval Supply Systems Command and Defense Logistics Agency to source the components needed to maintain and repair the aircraft. The only way to overcome these issues is to work cooperatively with internal and external partners to develop innovative solutions.
The team used strategic schedule worked an effective execution plan developed by the team's supervisors, work leads, aircraft evaluators and quality assurance specialists which allowed each employee to know what the requirements are for meeting the completion goal by setting out measurable and achievable goals along the way. This ambitious but realistic plan set the team up for success, and an innovative solution to a supply constraint helped seal the deal. While disassembling H-53 aircraft, FRCE's mechanics and evaluators have recently been finding more and more damage and corrosion on T caps and substructure fittings, which make up the aircraft's lower bilge frames underneath the cabin floorboards. The T cap is vital to the structure of the aircraft for load-bearing purposes.
FRCE's manufacturing shop produced new T caps based on original specifications, but during removal of the old T cap on one aircraft, unserviceable fittings in the substructure were found. With a long lead-time to procure material and manufacture these parts, the team needed a new solution if they were going to have any chance to make the fiscal year deadline. FRCE is North Carolina's largest maintenance, repair, overhaul and technical services provider, with more than 4,000 civilian, military and contract workers. Its annual revenue exceeds $1 billion. The depot provides service to the fleet while functioning as an integral part of the greater U.S. Navy; Naval Air Systems Command; and Commander, Fleet Readiness Centers.
Doug Merrell, plane captain on Fleet Readiness Center East's H-53 aircraft line, communicates with Capt. Ryan Boyer, H-53 functional check pilot, and Sgt. Matthew Hotelling, H-53 crew chief – both in the cockpit – during the "ground turn" of a Navy MH-53 heavy-lift helicopter, one of the final two Planned Maintenance Interval events the H-53 line completed in fiscal year 2021. A ground turn is an essential operational test of all of an aircraft's systems and components.

Infidel, Photographs by Tim Hetherington.
Published by Chris Boot, 2010.
Photographs by Tim Hetherington. Introduction by Sebastian Junger.
Chris Boot, 2010. Softcover. 240 pp., 200 color illustrations 6x8".
Infidel, with photographs by Tim Hetherington and introductory text by Sebastian Junger, is as nearly perfect as I can imagine a book to be. Let me provide a bit of context for the way I see it. First, I came of age during the Vietnam War and was profoundly influenced by the powerful, iconic photographs of that conflict. However, my general impression of post-Vietnam photographs of Americans in combat has been that there is always something hidden or unseen; I always feel removed from the situation, peering out a tank window either literally or figuratively. I keep looking for the real thing, images that resonate as powerfully as, for example, Eddie Adams' photograph of the execution of a prisoner of war, and while I've seen some good work, I have not found what I was searching for. Until Infidel.
Infidel, by Tim Hetherington. Published by Chris Boot, 2010.
The intimacy of Hetherington's portraits of a single US platoon stationed in the Korengal Valley, a dangerous and remote outpost in Afghanistan, cannot help but elicit an emotional response from the viewer, but beyond that, these photographs are just so damn well made, so heartfelt, so intelligent. The book looks like a journal, bound in black, a soft cover that sits in the hands like the personal story that it is. No surprise that Hetherington and Junger were there for five months - this is no fly by night project. One of the things that struck me is the maleness of what is here: it is, writes Junger, a brotherhood that is the true topic of this book. Women are entirely absent except in pictures of pin-up girls that Hetherington has shown just as they appeared: next to fly-strips and a lot of ammunition. I remember as a younger woman wondering what, exactly, went on in men's locker rooms, what they said to one another, how they behaved, and in a strange (and altogether military) way, this book supplies at least a partial answer.
The book begins with the landscape, and then zeroes in on the men themselves quite quickly. Following Junger's hard-hitting introduction, one that works perfectly with what follows, are two pages of thumbnail portraits - like those that might appear in a high school yearbook - with the names of each man, followed by one rather amusing group shot (one soldier is yawning), and then a series of stunning portraits of individual men, both in and out of uniform. The next part, graphic illustrations of the men's tattoos, was the least interesting to me; I felt I better understood the idea of this sequence from the title of the book, the text about tattoos, and the photographs of the men's tattooed arms, chests, etc., and so found this section to take away (just a very little) from what was otherwise incredibly compelling. Since these graphics occupy just 16 pages, and since they were at least mildly interesting, it was easy to flip through them. Perhaps if I had taken more time connecting them to the portraits (since each tattoo is associated with a name), I would have liked this part better, but I didn't have the patience for that in light of the amazing photographs and text that surround them.
Next are details, some raw and some raunchy -- men playing cards, passing the time -- followed by photographs of combat. To me, fascinating. That way of seeing behind the walls, of feeling the experiences of these men. The surreal juxtaposition of a shadowy figure holding a weapon next to a man in uniform petting a dog - these are the contradictory elements Hetherington aimed to show. As he writes, "War is absurd yet fundamental, despicable yet beguiling, unfair yet with its own strange logic." I cannot think of another book that gets at the complexity of war as well as this one.
The book ends with text by some of the men, writing that illuminates exactly what is going on here, followed by incredibly tender photographs of the sleeping soldiers. Their vulnerability could not be any more visible. Finally, there are captions accompanying thumbnails of some of the previous images that take you even more deeply into some of the very particular moments that Hetherington witnessed. My friend who needs a new prescription for her reading glasses (so she told me) thought the print was a tad small in this final part, but I did not mind (my prescription is new).

La Jolla Yoga Virginia
Mike Hanes, a 35-year-old former combat Marine, sometimes closes his eyes and murmurs to himself when life gets tense.
He's repeating one word over and over, and it works as a "pause button" for his mind when he's stressed out. It's a form of meditation, one learned at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in La Jolla.
Veterans can be referred to yoga classes, acupuncture, Tai-Chi and meditation and, in other parts of the nation, music therapy, energy healing and even sweat lodge sessions. At least 89 percent of VA medical centers offered alternative forms of therapy in 2011, with meditation as the most common form.
Some patients report that these therapies have allowed them to rely less on pain medication and sleeping pills. However, a May VA research conference concluded that evidence of the benefit of these therapies on post-traumatic stress disorder — possibly the signature wound of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars — is still thin.
"We've done a lot of work in many areas of PTSD research that has produced effective treatments, but we are not done, " said VA Deputy Secretary W. Scott Gould, at the May conference in Washington, D.C.
"That is why we need to keep our curious minds open and receptive to new ideas. In addition to the outstanding medical care we already provide, we are learning to extend that care to include many complementary and alternative medicine treatments."
Dr. Stephen Ezeji-Okoye, a Palo Alto physician who chairs the VA's alternative medicine committee, said the effort began after a 2002 White House Commission report that encouraged the VA to look at the topic. To naysayers, he responds that the VA is venturing slowly and carefully toward these kinds of practices.
"We're looking at it not as, is it alternative medicine or Western medicine. We're looking at it as, is it effective medicine, " he said.
"I noticed before, it was easier to fly off the handle, " said Hanes, who chose the word "shalom" as his meditation mantram, or mantra, as it's more commonly known.
"But now, you take that 10 seconds of saying your mantram, and it puts you back in focus, instead of doing something that you can really regret, " he said.
"I was very surprised to see the VA is offering this, and I think they should do a lot more of this type of stuff."
With some young male veterans, meditation, Tai-Chi and other "new-age" therapies are a harder sell.
Joe Qualls, an Army infantryman in Iraq, said he has witnessed some of his tough-guy friends balk a bit when asked to do deep breathing exercises for relaxation. He would like to see the VA focus on offering recreational sports programs year-round, such as basketball leagues.
Currently, there's a VA summer sports clinic in San Diego, and the VA sponsors athletic teams that compete in national special events. Also, nonprofit groups offer onetime getaways that veterans can be referred to. There's nothing more regular.
"The physical piece is the key, at least for this generation, " said Qualls, 31.
"It's really just about getting out. Exercise allows us to focus on one thing, nothing else. We burn off the extra adrenaline and anxiety."
That's one step toward being in the right state of mind for traditional sit-down therapy for PTSD, he said. And, "there's less the medication has to work on."
Jill Bormann, a VA nurse researcher in La Jolla, has pioneered the institution's work on mantram meditation.
"Compared to case management alone, we have seen significantly greater reductions in PTSD-related depression and hypervigilance, and improvements in quality of life, " she said, referring to the results of two pilot studies and one large randomized trial.
Bormann has received approval to do two new projects on mantram meditation and post-traumatic stress.
In the hope of attracting young veterans — a previously elusive group for any VA research — she plans to hold the sessions in the evening and on weekends. Another tactic she uses to reach out to younger people: Rebranding. She calls meditation a "pause button" for the mind, which appeals to the Xbox generation.
The VA isn't the only group doing work on meditation. Earlier this year, Hollywood director David Lynch's nonprofit foundation launched Operation Warrior Wellness with $1 million in funding to teach transcendental meditation to veterans.
Yoga is another popular alternative therapy at the VA and elsewhere. A group called Yoga For Vets NYC began offering free weekly yoga sessions in the Big Apple this year.
The La Jolla VA began offering yoga for lower-back pain in 2003.
According to questionnaires filled out by students between 2005 and 2007, people who attended the once-a-week class — and stretched at home — showed significant improvement in pain, depression, energy level and general mental outlook.
VA psychologist Erik Groessl and others published a paper about the results, but they were stunted by the informality of the study. Groessl is hopeful that he will be successful this year in securing funding for a more scientific trial, after years of applying.
Navy veteran Silas Cochran, 50, was one of nine men in a recent yoga class, held in a VA classroom with the desks pushed back. Cochran's military-style combat boots were neatly lined up next to his yoga mat.
He rode a bus from Escondido to attend the session, so he really wanted to be there — despite being the leading jokester when the teacher gave commands such as "curl back like you are a beautiful flower."
Seriously, though, as someone with bipolar disorder, he doesn't want to take medication for his back pain.

It's a process you learn to develop over time.
This distinction is important, particularly if you're coming at creativity from a place of having been turned off from it: working or living in a culture or place that promotes routine and answers over the unknown and question seeking.
If you believe creativity is a state of being—that it's on or off, something people have or don't, something you must be empowered to flip on—you're much more likely to accept excuses for why you can or cannot use it.
The common fallacy tends to be: "I can't be creative because my boss/parent/partner won't let me." Of course creativity scoffs in the face of constraints. True creativity says: "they" won't let us do things one way, so we'll try another.
So what's preventing you from being more creative here and now? What if it's just your perception that creativity is a switch, or something to become or a state to achieve? How might we change the perception of creativity as being something you don't turn on or off and instead being something you develop as a skill? Something that can work around any constraints? A skill that gets better over time, not worse?
Creativity—the ability to think of ideas which are both novel and valuable—is a skill anyone can learn. Much like math, science, writing, or a foreign language.
I remember thinking I'd never be able to do math, even of the basic variety. I grew up thinking mathematics were something you were either good at or not. I watched in school as students who excelled at math breezed past problems I could hardly understand, let alone solve.
But over time I learned math is a learnable skill: it was just the ways I was being taught that weren't right for me.
I found "tricks" for solving problems, visual approaches that aligned more with my way of thinking. I learned when terminology and labels mattered and when they were just for show. I learned how to break the problems down into manageable chunks rather than trying to solve large problems at once. And I realized just how important it is to approach a problem with confidence, without which my mind wouldn't even begin to view a problem as something I could solve.
The same attributes are all true of creativity. Creativity is a skill which can be learned by anyone and developed over time.
To do it requires learning small tricks for utilizing it: flipping a problem around, changing perspective, asking silly questions, finding a partner, or any of the other hundreds of thinking tricks.
Developing creativity also requires a clear perspective of what it is and what it isn't, how it differs from innovation or imagination.
If you want to develop your creativity you too must improve your confidence of doing so. Without which it won't matter how capable you are, you'll find your mind simply don't even want to try.
Creativity is a skill like any other, in that you can develop and improve it. It's not a switch to be turned on or a trait you're either born with or not. When you realize this, many more options for how to utilize your creativity become apparent.

Additionally they give at loans with 2 % rate.
As with the unprofitable servant within the biblical parable of abilities, my ideas on money have been restricted to the concern of losing it, than in making it. When it got here to wealth, and its creation, my thoughts mostly noticed limitations reasonably than possibilities. Hardship was consequently the fingerprint of my practice, and monetary ignorance was engraved in its soul. My skilled life was a story of unfulfilled dreams.


Welcome back and happy new year! Hope all of you had a blessed Christmas season. It's nice to have a fresh new year and a fresh start, but I can't lie, I am sad to say goodbye to the Christmas season.
I especially love having my Christmas tree and will probably keep it up for at least one more week. That's just how I am. I love the smell and the lights and just sitting back at night and gazing at its beauty.
During the holiday season I added the feature of doing turquoise AND red and just am wondering what you think. Do you think the party should go back to just turquoise or should we keep it a turquoise and red party? Please let me know what you think.
Now for the features from last time's party.
Love this shabby chic sign from Centsible Chic. So simple but lovely.
And love Thrifty Decor Mom's DIY Artwork...another simple yet gorgeous decoration!
Hope your new year is filled with wonder, hope, love, and fulfilled dreams.
I have zero turquoise projects to share this week, but wanted to let you know that I love your linky party and your features! They're always so bright and inspiring! Here's to more turquoise in 2012!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I hope you stop by again!
Thanks for the invite to your link party! Have a great day!
Thanks for inviting me over to the party Sara! I love seeing all the turquoise fun!
What a neat Linky-party. Thanks for the invite!
Thanks for hosting! I hope you're having a fabulous New Year!


Luminance | Permalight - For quick orientation and intensive luminance.
High luminance for more safety!
In general the ambient light (duration, quality and intensity) on site decides about the required luminance of the products.
Additionally the design of the safety guidance system has to comply with all applicable rules and regulations.
Click here to see an overview of available luminance qualitites.
To evaluate the performance of a pigment we measure the luminance of a defined area of the photoluminescent material with a calibrated measuring equipment for luminances (photometer), according to the measuring requirements of the standard DIN 67510 part 1.
The luminance is the photometric dimension that human beings recognize as brightness, in other words it is the intensity of light per area.
A light source with a defined intensity of light seems to be brighter the smaller the area is.
The luminance is being calculated in candela per square metre (cd/m²). Photoluminescent products are measured in millicandela per square metre (1 cd = 1000 mcd).
The relevant values are the measuring results after 2, 10, 30 and 60 minutes after the material is charged..
The decay time is calculated up to 0.3 mcd/m². That matches the 100-times theoretical value human eyes can perceive.
Additionally to the custom made developments, Permalight offers a standardized product portfolio, that covers 90% of customer demands and fulfills the requirements of the ISO standard.
An overview of the available luminance values can be also obtained from the brochure Information on luminance qualities.

Crazy Lady!  is a children's novel written by Jane Leslie Conly. It was published in 1993 and was one of the Newbery Honor books of 1994.

Setting and plot
The setting for Crazy Lady! is a small, working-class neighborhood in northern Baltimore, Maryland named Tenley Heights. The neighborhood consists mainly of brick row houses and Memorial Stadium is its centerpiece.

The story, which begins sometime around 1983 or 1984, is told in flashback form by the protagonist, Vernon Dibbs. As the story begins, Vernon and Miss Annie, an elderly former schoolteacher who became his tutor and helped him improve his grades in English, are talking about someone from their neighborhood who left two years earlier. Vernon tells Miss Annie he still remembers everything that happened vividly, and she suggests he put his thoughts into writing (which forms the basis for the story).

Vernon's family, like almost every other family in Tenley Heights, lives in one of the row houses. His mother, Mary, was a seamstress who died in 1980 from a massive stroke while at work. His father is a functionally illiterate laborer who usually works the second shift at a factory. Before Mary died, she gave birth to five children, of which Vernon is the third. He has an older sister named Steph, a younger sister named Sandra, an older brother named Tony, and a younger brother named Ben. When the story begins, Steph and Tony have left home; Steph is a laboratory technician who is married and living in the suburbs while Tony is attending college on a scholarship.

The flashback portion of the story begins in 1981, as Vernon starts junior high school. He is a year older than the rest of his classmates, due to being held back one grade earlier in his schooling. He is in danger of being held back again, because his schoolwork is suffering and so are his grades. Vernon also does not have any resources to help him get tutoring, as his father is usually working, the family finances do not allow for him to pay for it, and Steph and Tony are both busy with their own schoolwork and unable to take him to the local library to receive it.

Vernon spends most of his time hanging out with his friends Bobby, Chris, and Jerry, and they get their kicks by causing trouble in town and harassing Maxine Flooter, an alcoholic dubbed the "Crazy Lady" by everyone in the neighborhood. Maxine is often seen dressed eccentrically and dragging her intellectually disabled son, Ronald, around with her wherever she goes. Ronald is also a target for the boys' ridicule, which further infuriates his mother as she is his only caregiver.

One day, things begin to change. On a trip to the local grocery store for potatoes, Vernon sees the store owner, an old man named Milt, arguing with a customer over the price of the potatoes. Vernon has the same argument with Milt, as Steph had gone to his store a few days before and bought potatoes for the same price. Milt kicks Vernon out of the store, and the customer interrupts him on the way out to tell him he had done well. Vernon turns to look at her and discovers that the customer was Maxine.

The two of them get to talking, and Vernon lets it slip about how much trouble he is having in school. Maxine decides to try to get Vernon help and enlists the help of Miss Annie, who is her neighbor. She agrees to help Vernon pull up his English grade, but eventually insists that as payment, Vernon must help Maxine out around the house and help with Ronald as well. While it is not easy for him, as Maxine is usually drunk and sometimes ends up in jail as a result, Vernon begins spending more and more time around Maxine and Ronald and begins to form a friendship with the young man.

Eventually Vernon is all but ignoring his family, which does not help his already tense situation at home. He finds himself up late at night on several occasions talking with his father, who likes to come home and sit in the kitchen listening to oldies (which he claims help him think about the past), and those conversations help to form a bond between the two. (Later in the story, Vernon's father asks him to teach him how to read, which is an important moment in their relationship.)

After a few weeks, Vernon meets Ronald's teacher, who suggests to Maxine that Ronald sign up for the local Special Olympics. Vernon decides to take charge of the efforts to send Ronald to the games, getting the help of his friends in the process—especially Jerry, who has an intellectually disabled brother that he visits on the weekends and that he never tells anyone about.

Things start to come to a head when Vernon organizes a block party to help raise funds for Ronald. It ends when Maxine, drunk as usual, storms onto the block in a drunken rage and tells everyone off. Vernon's frustrations finally boil over after Maxine interrupts a Sunday Mass at the local church and begins telling all the people in the church exactly what she thinks about them—specifically telling Vernon that he does not have "the brains God gave a stump." After that, he refuses to have anything to do with her, only going in and out of the house to check on Ronald. Vernon even tells off Maxine when she tries to tell him something, which becomes important later.

The day of the Special Olympics arrives, and Ronald and Vernon win several ribbons as a team in walking races. They run into Ronald's teacher at the games, who offers them a ride home. While in the car on the ride home, Vernon discovers that Maxine had been trying to tell him that Ronald would be leaving Maryland and moving in with Maxine's relatives in North Carolina. Vernon is shaken by the news and storms out of the car on the side of the road. He then confronts Maxine about what she is about to do, with her telling him that she tried to help Ronald but that he will be better off in North Carolina.

Finally the day comes for Ronald to leave, and everyone in the neighborhood comes to bid him farewell (except for Maxine, who cannot bear to see her only child leave her). After everyone says their goodbyes, Ronald's new family drives away. The sight of Ronald leaving is too much for Vernon to handle, and he begins chasing after the car as fast as his legs can carry him. Unfortunately, not only can he not catch up to the car, he trips over a curb and is sent sprawling into a wall. As he lies on the hard ground, severely injured, his father comes over to him. The book ends with him saying to his middle son: "Vernon, I'm here."

Reception
Crazy Lady! has received the following accolades:

 John Newbery Medal honor book (1994)
 Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children's Book Award Nominee (1995)

'Turn Away the Gays' Bill Comes to Mississippi
by Ashton Pittman February 26, 2014, 4:46 pm
Mississippi may soon pass its own version of the discriminatory "Turn Away the Gays" bill that caused a nationwide backlash after Arizona lawmakers passed one last week. Deep South Voice examined a bill that bears striking similarities to the Grand Canyon state's controversial legislation.
The so-called Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or Senate Bill 2681, would require that "state action shall not burden a person's right to the exercise of religion" by compelling "any action contrary to a person's exercise of religion." The bill defines "exercise of religion" to mean "the ability to act in a manner that is substantially motivated by one's sincerely held religious belief, whether or not the exercise is compulsory or central to a larger system of religious belief."
In practice, that would mean that a business could legally discriminate against LGBT people if it claims that such discrimination is motivated by their "sincerely held religious belief." A baker, for example, might refuse to provide services to a gay couple requesting a wedding cake. This bill would affirm and codify the legitimacy of such discrimination in Mississippi state law.
SB 2681, which passed the state Senate with 48 yes-votes, zero no-votes, and four senators absent (including Mississippi Sen. Chris McDaniel, who is campaigning for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate), is now en route to a vote in the House. If passed, it would go into effect July 1, 2014.
The bill, whose Arizona cousin has been dubbed "Gay Jim Crow" by a Fox News analyst, would also amend the state seal to include "In God We Trust."

Liu Xiaobo and Charter 08
Helen H. Wang Contributor
Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo was awarded for Nobel Peace Prize today. Below is an excerpt from my forthcoming book The Chinese Dream that provides readers context for what Liu Xiaobo advocates and why he is imprisoned. I hope the Nobel Peace Prize will help Liu Xiaobo regain freedom soon.
On December 10, 2008, on the sixtieth anniversary of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 303 courageous Chinese citizens signed a petition known as "Charter 08," a manifesto for democracy.
The charter members pointed out that "China has many laws but no rule of law; it has a constitution but no constitutional government." They called for political reform and laid out nineteen recommendations that included overhauling the constitution so that "the constitution must be the highest law in the land, beyond violation by any individual, group, or political party"; separation of legislative, judicial, and executive powers; and systematically implementing general elections of public officials. Charter 08 essentially calls for ending one-party rule.
The Chinese government reacted quickly and nervously to censor the charter. Liu Xiaobo, a well-known dissident who was the lead signatory, was detained even before the petition was released. Liu was later sentenced 11 years in prison for "inciting the subversion of state power." Other signatories were summoned or interrogated by police. The document was deleted from the Internet behind China's great firewall.
The New York Review of Books published a complete translation of Charter 08 by Perry Link here. However, many people I talked to said they had never heard about Charter 08. In the past, Chinese Internet-savvy Web surfers were able to get around the firewall without much difficulty to find out the truth if they wanted to. But this time, very few people in China even paid attention.
On December 18, 2008, Hu Jintao delivered a speech that is seen as a response to Charter 08's call for political reform. Hu Jintao acknowledged that without democracy, the modernization of China could not be achieved. However, he also made it clear that China would never copy the mode of Western political institutions.
In March 2009, Wu Banguo, the chairman of China's National People's Congress, issued a tough statement, saying that China would never adopt a system of "multiple parties holding office in rotation, or hold elections without government-chosen candidates on the ballot." Mr. Wu added, "Without a single Communist Party in control, a nation as large as China would be torn by strife and be incapable of accomplishing anything."
The year 2009 saw regression in the move towards democracy. The government disbarred fifty-three lawyers who were actively involved in civil rights and corruption cases. The office of a prominent lawyers' group, known as Gong Meng, or Open Constitution Initiative, was shut down by the authorities. Its thirty-six-year-old founder, Xu Zhiyong, who has taken on high-profile cases such as the tainted milk scandal, was detained on the charge of tax violation. Some people believe that the real reason for shutting down Gong Meng is Mr. Xu's activism on civil rights.
In an article by an outspoken magazine in China, the editor wrote in subtle language as such: "Fifteen years ago when China was at a crossroads, a powerful figure led China on the road to a market economy. He left an important political will: 'Adhere to the Party's basic line unswervingly for 100 years'…Fifteen years later, China has reached a point where the original mode of development seems to have reached its limit. The tide of history, like the eastern-flowing Yangtze River, seems to flow in circles. However, it is believed that all the rivers will eventually flow into the sea."
Any Chinese can read between the lines as follows: "a powerful figure" refers to Deng Xiao Ping, and "original mode of development" refers to one-party rule that "seems to have reached its limit." The passage implies that the trend of democracy is like the Yangtze River flowing east that is unstoppable and will eventually join the ocean. It conveys the message for democratic reform without actually saying it literally. The obscure language is intentional. In case the magazine is censored by the government, it cannot be accused of violating any censorship rules.
The tide of history may be flowing in circles. However, it is believed that all the rivers will eventually flow east into the sea. As one of the eight thousand ordinary Chinese who signed Charter 08 was quoted as saying, "I was afraid, but I had already signed it hundreds of times in my heart."

Rahm Emanuel Has a Scheme For Biden to Raise the Federal Minimum Wage Even If McConnell Tries to Block It in the Senate
Home Financial news Rahm Emanuel Has a Scheme For Biden to Raise the Federal Minimum Wage Even If McConnell Tries to Block It in the Senate
Via Economic Policy Journal
Raising the minimum wage is one of the evilest things you can do to low productivity inner-city black youth. It makes it impossible to get that all-important first job.
Higher minimum wages are generally promoted by unions that benefit from keeping low-skilled workers out of the workforce. A Biden administration would be very pro-union, Joe Biden has said so:
I want you to know I'm a union guy. Unions are going to have increased power.
Thus, it is no surprise that Rahm Emanuel who loves to be around power and was President Obama's former chief-of-staff and is rumored to be Biden selections for Transportation Secretary, has an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal where he provides a strategy for Biden to raise the minimum wage. He writes:
Unless Democrats win both Georgia Senate seats in Jan. 5 runoffs, Mr. Biden will be the first Democrat to face a Republican Senate at the beginning of his first term since Grover Cleveland in 1885. How can he even hope to pursue a progressive agenda?
The concern is well-founded because continued gridlock would be a disaster, blocking America from working through its challenges. But there is a way forward…
With the filibuster still in place, progressives will have no way of forcing controversial legislation through the Senate, regardless of what happens in Georgia. So the White House will need to gain the acquiescence of at least a handful of Republican senators to drive progress.
One strategy is to try to beat moderate Republicans into submission, dreaming that a deluge of angry phone calls, emails and social-media posts will cow them into supporting a progressive agenda. While that may be emotionally gratifying, it's rarely effective. A more promising approach would be to find issues on which individual senators would benefit politically from breaking with their leadership and supporting President Biden's plan. That would allow for small compromises that build the trust needed to advance bigger legislative priorities later.
The minimum wage would be a good start—if only because, as the results from Florida reveal, millions of Republican voters would support raising the federal floor for the first time since 2007. In the House, an up-or-down vote would almost surely pull GOP support. That would then put pressure on the Senate, where Republican members up for re-election in 2022 would have reason to jump on board. It would be an auspicious start.

Album Review: BadBadNotGood – IV
Toronto experimental jazz outfit return with a record of poised jukebox jams
Dean Van Nguyen
July 8, 2016 | 12:01am ET
Ghostface Killah has a lot of different superpowers. He paints narratives as easily as his heroic counterpart Iron Man takes down bad guys. And like Tony Stark boasts a genius-level understanding of thermonuclear astrophysics, Ghost's finely tuned ear for a sample is superhuman.
The Wu legend was brought up in the ways of the old school. His voice carries as much character as a dusty old 45. So it makes sense that Ghost would be drawn to BadBadNotGood. The Toronto band has crafted an impressive catalog of throwback jazz and funk cuts filtered through a hip-hop prism. Last year's Ghost/BBNG team-up record, Sour Soul, felt like the natural next step for a group who came up performing instrumental covers of Slum Village tracks and producing for Earl Sweatshirt. Though Ghost rarely spit as hard as he did a decade or two ago, he still sounded great sinking into BadBadNotGood's thick, hazy orchestration.
BadBadNotGood's finest effort to date, IV, follows the filing system of previous records, but for the first time on their own album they add vocalists to their blissful cuts. Guest spots come from all over the stylistic map, including modernized jazz workouts, svelte funk songs, and shimmering hip-hop — all without that dreaded compilation disc feel. It's all distinctly BBNG.
"Time Moves Slow" features Future Islands' jelly-hipped frontman Samuel Herring. It's a classic R&B slow jam, a timeless groove with sophisticated grace. Anyone who has been on YouTube will know all about Herring's killer dance moves and croaking voice, but his greatest gift might be his heartfelt delivery. "Running away is easy/ It's the leaving that's hard," he sings, imbuing the line with a quaking insight.
Mick Jenkins stars on "Hyssop of Love", a trippy hip-hop track viewed through glittering, star-shaped sunglasses. The Chicago rapper advocates the natural high of love, not drugs, but sounds blunted out and paranoid — like he's laid back in a vintage polyester armchair, pondering the "wolves in disguise" at his door. Better still is Toronto singer Charlotte Day Wilson's turn on "In Your Eyes". An alluring soul ballad, the track is a ticket to a smokey basement blues club where neat dress is essential but the Jack and Coke is cheap.
For the most part, though, BadBadNotGood affirm their position as one of the finest young jazz acts in the world, mixing classical orchestration with their own take on the genre. "And That, Too" is laced with electronica. "Lavender" is propelled by a synthetic rubber band bass line. The mournful "Chompy's Paradise" is colored with 40 shades of blue.
The former trio have added saxophone player Leland Whitty as a full-time member after his satin-smooth perfomance on III's "Confessions", an album highpoint. "Confessions Pt II" adds bluster to the original's silk. Whitty is joined by Arcade Fire collaborator Colin Stetson. The pair's sax lines weave in and out, while Matthew Tavares' organ gives the track a funky engine. The song is propulsive and assertive, the sound of a band four albums in and confidently wielding their own unique mythos.
These are songs full of poise, jukebox jams cut by dapper musicians in an analogue studio mixed with contemporary jazz. IV sounds as timeless as the instrumentation itself. BadBadNotGood's work with Ghostface Killah will have drawn in more listeners, but what they'll find on IV is so much more than they might have expected.

Corporate gifts are quite a popular topic among businesses. When you are thinking making better marketing strategies, giving corporate gifts is one of those strategies. Corporate gifts can be given to the people working in the company or clients that are associated with the company in some way. The gifs that you give depend on your budget, size of the staff or number of people receiving the gifts and also the type of business you do. If you are a tech company it would be best if you give something technology related such as USB flash drives or other similar gadgets.
Corporate gifts are great in that they serve as your marketing tools. It is totally up to you what you give people as gifts. It can be something that is more directed towards improving the bond between the employees and the company, or something that is geared more towards marketing and advertisement. Some items can kill two birds with one stone – making your employees wear branded t-shirts can be quoted as an example here. When you share such gifts with your employees you invoke loyalty. They feel closer to the company and can become more productive as a result.
Furthermore, when you are conducting workshops, seminars and exhibitions, your gifts can serve as great tools of branding. Think about giving just pen holders to your clients with your company's name on them. You could do with something as simple as ball points and pens with your company's name on them and also the logo. This will attract your clients towards you and make them do business with you. When you distribute such gifts at exhibitions you give your clients a reason to remember you. Giving out mere information often results in a very bad response from customers.
Corporate gifts can also be given to employees as a token of appreciation. For example, if the sales department was able to achieve its monthly target you could award them with branded t-shirts and a great dinner at some good restaurant. When they see the t-shirts as a sign of their achievement, they will definitely feel like wearing those t-shirts. For your female employees, you can log on to Gifts Ready to Go and find some very interesting gifts. It must be remembered here that the items you choose as your corporate gifts play an important role in building your image in the eyes of your clients and employees. You don't have to go for expensive items but make sure your items don't look cheap and useless.

Inter- and intra-annual variation in milk composition in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)
Arnould, John P. Y.; Boyd, Ian L.. 1995 Inter- and intra-annual variation in milk composition in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella). Physiological Zoology, 68 (6). 1164-1180. https://doi.org/10.1086/physzool.68.6.30163798
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/physzool.68.6.30163798
The inter- and intra-annual variation in milk composition in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) was investigated over three consecutive lactation periods (1990-1992) at Bird Island, South Georgia, which included one period of low food availability. One hundred and ninety-two milk samples were collected from 154 individuals. The mean milk composition was 40.5% ± 0.5% lipid, 10.4% ± 0.2% protein, 44.8% ± 0.6% water, 0.133% ± 0.0059% carbohydrate, and 0.694% ± 0.125% ash. Lipids contributed most (> 70%) of the gross energy of the milk. Water content could be used to predict lipid (r² = 0.83) and protein (r² = 0.13) content, but it could be used to predict gross energy content with the greatest accuracy of all (r² = 0.97). Stage of lactation, maternal mass, and year of sampling accounted for 27% of the observed variability in gross energy content. Following the perinatal period, milk lipid and gross energy content increased throughout lactation in all years, whereas water content decreased. Protein content decreased throughout lactation in 1990 but increased in the following 2 yr. Milk lipid and protein content decreased by as much as 14% and 5%, respectively, during each 1-2-d lactation bout. Minor, though significant, variation was found between the composition of milk collected from different mammae within individuals. The changes in composition observed both within and between lactation periods, and the level of inter- and intraindividual variation, emphasize the need for extensive sampling in order to describe adequately milk composition in otariids.

Mechanic Township was established in 1819 and drew its many settlers because of the abundance of natural water power created by the Doughty Creek. The township derived its name due to the various settlers whose livelihoods were mechanical in nature. Blacksmiths, mills and a tannery were established in this area. The township includes the settlements of Saltillo, Becks Mills and Troyer's Hollow.
You can read more about the history of Mechanic Township in the book Holmes County to 1985, pages 188-190.
