Details about Characterization. This should come in handy.
Characters. Readers love them and hate them; we pity them and malign them; we cry for them and laugh for them; and most of all, we remember them. And that is why people from all walks of life know Boo Radley, Uncle Tom, Reverend Dimmesdale, Rip Van Winkle, Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Grendel, Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, the Wife of Bath, Macbeth, Hamlet, and countless others who infiltrate our minds and inhabit our hearts. But why? Why do they make such an impression on us? We care about them because we identify with them, or sometimes we wish we could. Any one who has at some point felt shy and awkward understands Boo Radley. Those who love adventure like Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. Someone who has been wronged or whose friend has been wronged identifies with Marc Anthony. And so on. These characters are like us, so we know how they feel, and think, and act. They are literary representatives of ourselves.
Many avid readers actually find themselves giving advice to characters from books. Have you ever heard yourself saying to a character, "That is so stupid! How could you do that? Don't you ever learn?" We may truly feel as if we know these characters, and some people enjoy living vicariously through them, even if only for a limited time. Actually, some authors allow us to know so much about their characters that we may understand more about them than about the real people we come into contact with on a regular basis.
More than one-fourth of the AP Exam questions deal with character in some way, so you must understand how to respond. First, take a look at some AP prompts to see what they ask of you. The following excerpts are from AP tests from 1994 through 1999 in which 16 of the 36 questions refer to character!
These questions regarding a character include:
a character who is important but may be present for a short time or not at all
the way the author reveals his attitude about the character
the way the author uses stylistic devices to characterize someone
the way the author conveys an experience as a child
how the author uses literary techniques to reveal the complexities of life
what the author's understanding of himself is
how the literary devices convey the impression of the incident on the character
how the emotional struggle within a character reveals the intent of the work .and many, many more
HOW DO YOU LEARN ABOUT CHARACTERS?
Most authors don't explain characters totally as they are introduced. There are both direct and indirect ways to learn, and quite often authors use more than one way in the same work. And when you read closely, you will discover that you know more about the characters than you think you do.
DIRECT METHODS
1. The author states information about a character giving an authoritative feel to that information. In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne describes Hester Prynne:
"The young woman was tall, with a figure of perfect elegance on a large scale. She had dark and abundant hair, so glossy that it threw off the sunshine with a gleam, and a face which, besides being beautiful from regularity of feature and richness of complexion, had the impressiveness belonging to a marked brow and deep black eyes. She was ladylike, too, after the manner of the feminine gentility of those days; characterized by a certain state and dignity...."
2. Another direct method of characterization is that of statements or descriptions by other characters. The following example is from The Life of Samuel Johnson by James Boswell.
"He received me very courteously; but, it must be confessed, that his apartment, and furniture, and morning dress, were sufficiently uncouth. His brown suit of clothes looked very rusty; he had on a little old shriveled unpowdered wig, which was too small for his head; his shirtneck and knees of his breeches were loose; his black worsted stockings ill drawn up; and he had a pair of unbuckled shoes by way of slippers. But all these slovenly particularities were forgotten the moment that he began to talk."
INDIRECT METHODS
3. A description of the environment told by the author or a character is an indirect method of characterization from which the reader can infer information about the characters. The following excerpt from Grendel by John Gardner is a description of the lake where the monster lives with his mother; their home is at the bottom of this lake. The passage hints that only a horrible kind of monster could live there!
where water pours
From the rocks, then runs underground, where mist
Steams like black clouds, and the groves of trees
Growing out over their lake are all covered
With frozen spray, and wind down snakelike
Roots that reach as far as the water
And help keep it dark. At night that lake
Burns like a torch. No one knows its bottom,
No wisdom reaches such depths. A deer,
Hunted through the woods by packs of hounds,
A stag with great horns, though driven through the forest
From faraway places, prefers to die
On those shores, refuses to save its life
In that water. It isn't far, nor is it
A pleasant spot! When the wind stirs
And storms, waves splash toward the sky,
As dark as the air, as black as the rain
That the heavens weep. Our only help,
Again, lies with you. Grendel's mother
Is hidden in her terrible home, in a place
You've not seen. Seek it, if you dare!'
4. The character's actions tell the reader about him/her
This excerpt from Uncle Tom's Cabin reveals the determination, courage, and desperation of Eliza, a slave, who flees with her child rather than have him sold and separated from her. She runs across slabs of ice on a river to save him. The implication, of course, is that she is daring and brave and willing to risk her life to save her child.
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
"A thousand lives seemed to be concentrated in that one moment to Eliza. Her room opened by a side door to the river. She caught her chili!, and sprang down the steps towards it. The trader caught a full glimpse of her, just as she was disappearing down the bank; and throwing himself from his horse, calling loudly on Sam and Andy, he was after her like a hound after a deer. In that dizzy moment her feet to her scarce seemed to touch the ground, and a moment brought her to the water's edge. Right on behind they came; and, nerved with strength such as God gives only to the desperate, with one wild cry and flying leap, she vaulted sheer over the turbid current by the shore, on to the raft of ice beyond. It was a desperate leap--impossible to anything but madness and despair; and Haley, Sam, and Andy, instinctively cried out, and lifted up their hands, as she did it."
"The huge green fragment of ice on which she alighted pitched and creaked as her weight came on it, but she stayed there not a moment. With wild cries and desperate energy she leaped to another and still another cake--stumbling--leaping--slipping--springing upwards again! Her shoes are gone--her stockings cut from her feet--while blood marked every step; but she saw nothing, felt nothing, till dimly, as in a dream, she saw the Ohio side, and a man helping her up the bank"
5. A character's name can sometimes tell an observant reader much. An allegory is an obvious example of a name representing something abstract, and John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress is the best known example. This narrative relates Christian's efforts to overcome ungodliness represented by "Vanity Fair" and the "Slough of Despond." The allegory also refers to Hopeful, Faith, Piety, and other characters.
Other examples of meaningful names come from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter: (1) Pearl, the physical embodiment of the scarlet letter worn by her mother, named Pearl because Hester considered her "as being of great price--purchased with all she (Hester) had." Then there is Chillingworth, the betrayed husband who becomes "cold-hearted" and demonic. And, of course, there is Dimmesdale, fading away as he is consumed by hidden sin.
In addition, there is Phoenix Jackson from Eudora Welty's "A Worn Path." Phoenix, like the legendary bird known for regeneration, is able to find the strength to "regenerate" herself, to walk to town, despite obstacles and age, to get medicine for her grandson. Another example of the importance of a name is that of Fortunato from "Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe. In this instance, however, the name is ironic because Fortunato is anything but fortunate since he is buried alive in the story.
And how many Star Wars fans realize the significance of the name Luke Sky walker? Does he not travel (walk) the skies? And have you ever considered the Latin translation of Darth Vader? It translates to dark father!
Keep in mind that a name can tell a story, so be observant.
TYPES OF CHARACTERS
These are the basic characters found in literature. As you read an assignment, consider how the characters might be classified.
1. ROUND characters are complex characters; there is enough information about them to make them memorable. Round characters are usually DYNAMIC - they change or adjust to different situations; the protagonist is usually a dynamic character.
2. FLAT characters have only one or two traits; they are simple. Flat characters are most often STATIC--usually minor characters; they do not grow because they lack insight.
3. STEREOTYPE is a kind of character found in different literature; examples include the overbearing mother, the cunning detective, the nosy neighbor, the hen-pecked husband, and the nagging wife.

2011 All-County Softball: First and Second Team
Emily Bausher
School: New Egypt
?Position: Pitcher
Year: Senior
In 2010 she authored one of the most dominating seasons in memory and in 2011, Bausher was even better, with a 24-3 record, 19 shutouts, a 0.66 earned run average and 353 strikeouts for a team that won its second straight Group 1 state title. Opponents facing Bausher batted a miniscule .091, with 55 hits — only one more than the Lehigh-bound Bausher managed herself as the Warriors' leadoff hitter.
Bausher's .541 batting average led the team. The 2011 Gatorade Player of the Year had 16 doubles, two triples and four home runs, scored a team-high 44 runs and drove in 26.
Taylor Steele
School: Holy Cross
Steele's career numbers put her at the top of the heap in just about every statistical category for the Lancers, who have a history of strong pitching. She set single-season records for wins (16) and strikeouts (254) and earned run average (1.04) in her senior season and finished her career with 615 strikeouts and a 1.25 ERA — also a Holy Cross record. The Central Connecticut-bound Steele batted .286 with three extra-base hits for the Lancers.
Steele, who had 10 shutouts this season, earned 41 career victories.
Jackie Pezzato
School: Shawnee
Year: Sophomore
Pezzato emerged as Shawnee's everyday pitcher in mid-April, and the Renegades' fortunes almost immediately took a turn for the better, beginning with the back-to-back shutouts she posted after assuming that role. Shawnee won eight of 10 games in the stretch that followed and climbed above the .500 mark to erase a sluggish start. The sophomore pitcher compiled a 9-5 record with three shutouts and was also a solid third baseman and the Renegades' clean-up hitter.
She batted .389 in that role with a team-high 13 doubles.
Steph Wood
Position: Catcher
Wood had a record-breaking year for Holy Cross in just her second season behind the plate. She batted .466 and her 34 hits raised her school-record career total to 102. The Lancers' leadoff hitter scored 21 runs, tied the team's single-season record with 15 stolen bases and set the career record with 54.
Wood served the Lancers' captain for the second straight year, called every pitch that Taylor Steele threw and developed a reputation behind the plate for her arm strength — on April 15 she became one of the few catchers to throw out Cinnaminson's Liana Newton on a straight steal.
Morgan Knigge
Position: First Base
You could say she was known for her quiet consistency, but "dependable" only begins to describe Knigge, whose contributions to New Egypt's run for a second straight Group 1 state title were both timely and gigantic. Knigge batted .379 this season with 33 hits, including six doubles, two triples and two home runs. The second home run came in the third inning of New Egypt's win over Whippany Park in the state championship game and stood up as the winning run.
In addition to driving in 27 runs for the Warriors, Knigge handled 94 chances at first base without an error.
Jessica Dotson
School: Rancocas Valley
Position: Second Base
Year: Junior
Rancocas Valley coach Erin Mattio often called Dotson her unsung hero. Like any good 2 hitter, Dotson led her team in sacrifice hits with five. But it might surprise you to learn that she was also Rancocas Valley's leader in runs batted in (26) and batted.392, with two doubles, a triple and a home run. She stole two bases and scored 21 runs.
Lauren Gaskill
Position: Shortstop
Many players reach 100 career hits and consider it a milestone. Gaskill had 93 just in her last two seasons and was over 150 for her career.
In addition to compiling a gaudy .581 batting average this season, the Virginia Tech-bound Gaskill was the smoothest fielder around and captained a squad that won the Rancocas Valley Elite tournament and its ninth consecutive Burlington County Scholastic League Liberty Division title. The 2010 Gatorade Player of the Year had 43 hits in 2011, including six doubles, five triples and three home runs. She stole 19 bases, drove in 17 runs and scored 43.
Alissa Martin
Position: Third Base
When she pitched — which was about a third of the time for the Red Devils, who won their ninth straight Burlington County Scholastic League Liberty Division crown — she was nearly perfect. Martin went 7-1 in the circle, with a pair of wins coming in the Red Devils' drive to the title at the Rancocas Valley Elite Tournament. When she wasn't pitching, Martin was a solid third baseman and an integral part of the Red Devils' offense, with a .343 batting average, including 24 hits, four doubles and a home run. Martin's 21 RBIs was second on the team.
Kristen Soprano
Position: Outfield
It's been a luxury, for Shawnee coach Paula Escudero, to have Soprano and Michelle Pezzato in her outfield for four seasons.
Soprano didn't commit an error in her senior season and was one of the top hitters in the Shawnee lineup, with a .375 average, eight doubles and a triple. Soprano, who'll play next year at Burlington County College, finished her career with 82 hits, including 21 doubles, seven triples, 25 runs batted in and 57 runs scored.
Sydney Worek
School: Florence
Coach George Chwastyk designated Worek as his "big-game pitcher" early in the season, and the Flashes' rode her efforts, and those of fellow junior Shannon Sweeney, to a 16-3 campaign, with all three losses coming to Group 1 state champion New Egypt. When not playing center field, she compiled a 10-1 record, four shutouts and 110 strikeouts on the mound.
As the Flashes' leadoff hitter, Worek registered a .435 batting average, with eight doubles, three triples and a home run.
Kayla Soles
Position: Utility
Soles, who plays shortstop, had at least one extra-base hit in six of her first seven games and stayed on the torrid pace she'd set throughout the balance of the year, including the Group 1 state title game, when she went 3-for-4, doubled and hit a two-run homer.
Soles batted .451 this season and topped 40 hits for the second straight year, with 41 — including 14 doubles, four triples and five home runs. The University of Louisville-bound Soles scored 30 runs for the Warriors and drove in 39.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said coronavirus vaccines may not be recommended for children if and when they are first available.
The statement, posted on the CDC's website, said most of the drugmakers working on a potential coronavirus vaccine have tested only nonpregnant, healthy adults. The trials are expected to expand to children and pregnant women, but it's unclear when researchers will have enough data to make a recommendation for those groups. It's possible the vaccines could be authorized for limited use in the U.S. before trials testing children are completed, medical experts say.
"The groups recommended to receive the vaccines could change in the future," the agency wrote.
Pregnant women and children are often the last to get tested in clinical trials as researchers assess safety risks, medical experts say. AstraZeneca, a frontrunner in the race for a coronavirus vaccines, said earlier this year that it would test its vaccine on children in a phase two trial. Moderna reportedly plans to start a pediatric trial this year.
Still, children in the U.S. were not expected to be among the first to get a vaccine.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released a draft proposal last month for distributing a coronavirus vaccine in the U.S. if and when one is approved for public use. It devised the proposed guidelines at the request of the National Institutes of Health and the CDC.
The vaccine would be distributed in four phases, with health-care workers, the elderly and people with underlying health conditions getting vaccinated first, according to the group. Essential workers, teachers and people in homeless shelters as well as people in prisons would be next on the list, followed by children and young adults.
The CDC also said there may be a limited supply of vaccines before the end of 2020, but supply will continually increase in the weeks and months that follow.

Are you ready to buy a house? To help you prepare for your home search, we have come up with a few helpful questions that you can ask while looking at properties for sale.
This is one of the first things that people who are searching for properties look at, and for a good reason too. Where you live is important. Is it close to your work? Does it have the schools you want? What is the environment and culture like of that city or town? While you can always change your house's appearance and make improvements, you can't change the location it's in, which is why this is typically the number one priority.
2. Is the home structurally sound?
Sometimes you won't be able to tell if a home is structurally sound until you get a home inspection. Yet, there are a few things you can look for such as cracks or if the walls are bowing.
3. What is the indoor-outdoor flow?
Do you have kids or like entertaining in your backyard? If it's important to you, be sure that the home you're looking at has easy indoor and outdoor access from the main living area. French doors or sliding glass doors are ideal options for a transitional flow.
Re-roofing can be expensive. They have a life expectancy of 15-20 years, so this may be something you will want to look at and determine the condition of.
5. How much storage space?
This is something that is often overlooked. Whether you have a big family or are starting a family, you will need storage space. Is there an adequate amount of storage in the attic? What about closets or a garage?
6. What are the sizes of rooms?
Do you have a big family or like to have extra space? Check to see if the home you're looking at has rooms that are the right size for you. Imagine your furniture, clothes, etc., inside the room to help you get a better idea if the room's size is ideal for you.
7. What are the home's elements?
There is more to a home than it's location and size. Is it located on a hill? Are there a lot of stairs? Does it have a backyard or a pool? What about a safe driveway or is it on a busy street? These are elements you will want to consider before purchasing a home. For example, if you want a home that's safe for kids and pets, you may want a home that's in a secluded residential area, or if you have an older relative living with you, you may not want a home with stairs.
8. What is the curb appeal like?
Curb appeal makes a difference in not only the value of the home, but also how it reflects your lifestyle. Homes come in various styles from Tudor, to Victorian, to Contemporary and more. With these styles come different materials from brick, to stone, etc.
9. Is the plumbing up to date?
This is another factor that can cost a lot of money if there are issues with the plumbing. Be sure to have a home inspection, so that you can determine if the plumbing system is working properly or if it will need repair.
10. What are your deal breakers?
It's important to understand what your deal breakers are before looking at properties. Is the number of rooms a big deal for you? Or perhaps you want a newer home that won't need to be fixed up. Make a list of those priorities so that you know what to expect when looking for your dream home.

How Relevant Is Raphael? See 5 Contemporary Echoes of the Renaissance Paragon's Art
Deposition of Christ, 1507 by Raphael
As one of the most lauded and recognizable painters of the High Renaissance, Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (better known as simply Raphael) is credited with laying much of the groundwork for the centuries of artistic inspiration and innovation that followed in his wake. Works like his School of Athens in the Vatican or Portrait of Pope Julius II have been studied by millions of art lovers the world over, and his influence, perhaps unsurprisingly, is still evident in the work of today's artists.

In a region where animal breeding is essential for the local economy, the modernisation of the slaughterhouse in Mauleon meant that new services could be provided to local breeders' and new job opportunities were created in the region.
The economy of Soule, the smallest province of the Pays Basque, which counts some 14,000 inhabitants distributed around 35 municipalities, is principally based on animal breeding. The modernisation of the abattoir in Mauleon represents an important boost for the local economy. The abattoir was first improved in 2003 with the construction of a new meat-cutting room. But by 2009 it was clear that the facility no longer met the users' needs, both in terms of capacity and services offered.
The main objective of the project was to modernise the slaughterhouse and diversify the services offered in order to better meet its clients' expectations, particularly with regards to their desire to move into the direct sales business. Other important objectives were to: i) save energy and water; ii) reduce waste and odour; and iii) create new jobs opportunities for locals.
The main modernisation activities involved: i) the enlargement of the meat-cutting room and the packaging room; ii) the refurbishment of the building and reorganisation of the production lines; iii) the installation of new equipment, such as a vacuum-wrap machine and an automatic labelling machine; and iv) the installation of new equipment to reduce the environmental impact, such as an oil-petrol separator to purify water and a lighting system using motion detectors.
The abattoir was enlarged, the cutting and packaging rooms were increased to 600 m2 which means that 2,600 tonnes of meat can be processes per year. The new cutting room also offers some new services to users. Meat is cut according the user's requirements - whether for their consumption and/or for direct sale – then vacuum-wrapped and stocked in a cold room ready for collection. The waiting time for slaughtering has been reduced from 6-to-3 months and 4 jobs have been created.
EAFRD financing was crucial as it provided an important incentive for public and private partners to commit themselves to the project. For the valley of the Soule and the neighbouring areas, this project played a strategic role for breeders by helping them to enter the direct sales business. Some 500 breeders are direct or indirect users of the abattoir via the Axuria cooperative. In addition, the investment helped to preserve 33 jobs and to create additional employment opportunities.


How Large Is Your Martian?
I've seen a few people asking how big/bulky/etc the Mars Attacks models are, and having managed to scrounge up a couple yesterday I thought I'd do a few comparison shots for your amusement.
The MA models look like they're made of frozen milk because they're 3D prints and that may be what they're actually made from. Whatever it is, it's translucent and very hard to pick out details, but that's not why we're here. There are lovely photos of the nicely painted models all over the Kickstarter, Mantic's blog and so on. This is all about size.
I've tried to prop up models where appropriate so that the bases are close to the same height. I may be out by a tiny bit, but we're talking under a mil, so the tops of the models are pretty close to right. Oh, and the final version of the Martians will naturally have a clear goldfish bowl on their heads too. Don't forget that.
So, first up, how do the Mars Attacks models compare to Mantic's other SF models? Here we have a Corporation trooper and an Orx. The Corporation model is a normal human in a bit of body armour, but isn't all bulked out or bioengineered, so should be a good comparator for the Mars Attacks GI.
We've got to look at a Space Marine just because most gamers have seen them and it's a useful benchmark.
I only had one Infinity model to hand and it wasn't human, but at least you Infinity players should be able to use it as a size reference.
Finally, I've been thinking of the Hasslefree post apocalyptic models and wondering if they'd fit in scale. Looks like they do very well.
So there you have it. How large is your Martian? That big.

huh. i thought they were much shorter than humans in the movie.
They were, but our game is based on the official background bible from Topps where they are (I am told) 6 foot 2. If you look at the cards and comics as well it's clear that it's the film that's out of step with the rest of the IP.
My limited knowledge suggests that the Martians in the movie are a little shorter than the Martians as depicted on the original card set.
Are the DreadBall martians going to be slightly more petite, like the rest of the DreadBall range? I hope so.
I would guess that any DB Martians would be the same size. I've just been looking at one compared to an Orx Guard. You don't want them any more slight.
Being digital sculpts I figured that the same "chassis" would be used for any proposed crossover models. Even at 6'2″, Martians taller than Orx doesnt feel quite right to me, but I am sure that the Orx will look significantly more meaty alongside them anyway.
The Orx Guard and the MArtian grunt are the same height to the top of their respective heads. Almost exactly. But the Orx is waaaay bigger in terms of bulk and presence.
Thanks for sharing these Jake, this is going to help out a ton of folks out there!
Is it the size of your Martian,…or how you use it?
too obvious? It was too obvious,…I should be ashamed….
Maybe you could try the old shoe polish trick on them?
The Mantic guys have tried a few different techniques on these 3D prints and most of them just make a mess. The detail is all there and you can see if you get it really close. Taking photos of it is another matter.


Received it from my niece.
I felt so sad and weird.
My son was only three.
And clean things up with glee.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, NICOLE.
Anytime, Robbie! 😉Hey, I'll definitely be your motivational cheerleader from afar!
Ima print your motivational poem off and stick it on my wall.
Indeed! You can't live with them; we can't ensure the survival of the human race without them!
Well, I could tell you, but that would ruin the fun.

David Hockney at Frankfurt Book Fair. TASCHEN Books
David Hockney at Frankfurt Book Fair
The artist presents A Bigger Book
David Hockney appeared as the keynote speaker at the opening press conference of Frankfurt Book Fair 2016. As a preface to the launch of A Bigger Book with TASCHEN, Hockney presented some of his famed iPad drawings, describing his process, technique, and his unremitting curiosity towards art in new media.
"People use the iPad for different things," he told the audience of 200, "My mother would have loved it for the crossword. I use it for drawing. The variety of colors and possibilities is endless."
Hockney's presentation brought a fitting start to the Frankfurt Book Fair as it explores the fruitful interaction of print and digital media and celebrates exploration and creativity with new technologies. "David Hockney is one of the most multifaceted artists of the present day," said Juergen Boos, Director of the Frankfurt Book Fair. "His openness to new media and his application of digital techniques, which is frankly genius, have made him into one of the pioneers of contemporary art. He's an ideal representative of the synthesis of the digital and the aesthetic in art."
The 500-page, SUMO-sized A Bigger Book is signed by the artist and conceived as his definitive visual autobiography, spanning his complete career from teenage days at the Bradford School of Art right through to recent series of portraits, iPad drawings, and landscapes. The book is presented with a Marc Newson-designed bookstand in red, yellow, and blue, and is limited to 10,000 signed copies, including a Collector's Edition (No. 1,001–10,000) and four Art Editions of 250 copies each, complete with an exclusive ink-jet print of one of Hockney's iPad drawings.

Get ready to fire up the grill! Here are two recipes for fun burgers that originally appeared in an article for summer grilling. Hope you enjoy them!
Directions: Combine all ingredients, form your patties, chill in fridge to set shape. Grill em how you like 'em! Serve with hot pepper jack cheese or white American cheese.
Directions: Combine the meat with some minced garlic, a few dashes of olive oil, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce.
Mix well by hand and separate into four LARGE portions. Split each portion in half to make eight equal portions. Flatten these into eight wide patties that are a bit thin and wide.
Sprinkle with pepper and place an equal portion of pepper jack cheese in the center of four patties leaving an edge around the outside.
Place other four patties over the four covered patties and press the edges together to seal. You should have four good sized stuffed burgers. Grill over medium high heat turning as few times as possible. Serve hot on fresh bun, toasted French Bread Slices or toasted Texas toast with your favorite toppings.You can stuff this burger with all kinds of other stuff such as mushrooms, Blue cheese, peppers whatever you like.


How common a problem is it that construction workers aren't paid for their work?
One in five surveyed construction workers has reported not being fully paid for their work in the last three years. Although it is impossible to determine the total amount of lost wages in the construction industry in Austin, Workers Defense Project estimates that it receives $6,739,200 in wage theft complaints annually from construction workers. Though Workers Defense Project serves workers in all industries, 80% of Workers Defense Project's total wage theft cases result from the construction industry.
How many workers die in Texas each year?
Texas is the most deadly state to work in construction. According to the most recent data, 138 construction workers were killed on the job in Texas in 2009. That's nearly twice as many as any other state in the country. It means that every 2.5 days a construction worker in Texas dies.
One in every five construction workers is injured on the job, requiring medical attention.
What is workers' compensation and how does it work in Texas?
Workers' Compensation is a program managed by the state of Texas that employers can purchase to care for their workers if they are hurt on the job. Workers' Compensation pays for medical bills related to the workplace injury and provides a wage replacement while the worker is unable to work (70% of their salary).
Texas is the only state that doesn't require employers to provide workers' compensation. Any employer, even construction employers where the injury and death rates are so high, can choose not to provide workers' compensation.
Texas ranks 50th in the nation for adult workers covered by workers compensation with 23.5% of workers without coverage compared to the national average of 8.9%.
Who pays when workers get injured on the job?
In 2008, Texas hospitals paid $13.1 billion to cover uncompensated healthcare costs for indigent patients5. Construction workers make up a disproportionate number of uncompensated care cases.
On a large hospital, this burden can total several hundred million dollars in a single year. Hospitals pay for these expenses through public funding, and shifting the cost onto paying patients and insurers.
Roughly half ($4.6 billion) was paid for by patients and their families.
One-sixth ($1.6 billion) was paid for by government health programs.
The remaining third was subsidized by employers and individuals with private health insurance through higher healthcare costs ($3 billion).
How does this cost honest businesses and families money?
This remaining private insurance subsidization on uncompensated healthcare costs amounted to an additional $1,551 in premiums for a family or employer-provided health insurance policy in Texas.
It was estimated that by 2010, that figure would grow to an extra $2,786 per Texas family7.
How does this cost taxpayers more money?
State level funding provides partial reimbursement for uncompensated care at trauma centers.
Local Health Districts depend on local taxes to meet increased demand on public hospitals; this results in higher property taxes.
How does misclassification of workers as independent contractors affect me?
Misclassification results in millions of dollars lost each year to the Texas Unemployment Insurance Trust, which Texas workers access when they become unemployed. With unemployment in Texas at a decade high, and the unemployment trust fund for the state depleted, Texas has already taken out a 1.3 billion loan from the federal government to make up the deficit in the fund and is considering selling another $2 billion in bonds to refill it.8 More debt for Texas means the state will have to identify new sources of income- through taxes or fees. And families whose unemployment benefits are delayed or denied are forced to fall back on public safety nets.
What should be done to protect workers?
We recommend a series of best practices that can be implemented by industry leaders and policymakers to improve working conditions and ensure continued economic prosperity in an industry so important to Texas. We need state policies that reward honest businesses and protect working families from hardship.

You have a choice or do you?
Women could be forced into giving birth in a midwife led unit against their will, Save the Alex campaigners have warned.
A spokesman for Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust appears to have confirmed the only way it will be able to take the additional 2,000 births from the Alex is by using the midwife-led Meadow Birth Centre, based on the Worcestershire Royal site, for women with low risk pregnancies.
The Trust has also updated its FAQs to women, which previously stated women due to give birth in Redditch would be automatically transferred to the Worcestershire Royal but 'mums can choose' to have their baby in the Meadow Birth Centre or could look to be transferred to Warwick or Birmingham Women's Hospital.
However the word choice has been removed and it now states all women will be clinically assessed and then offered the most 'clinically appropriate option' of the Meadow Birth Centre or consultant-led main delivery suite.
Campaigners are concerned the changing in wording suggests women with low risk pregnancies will be forced to give birth in the Meadow Birth Centre, even if they want to give birth in the main consultant-led (obstetric) unit.
This is a breach of NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) guidance which states that clinicians should explain women may choose any birth setting (home, freestanding midwifery unit, alongside midwifery unit or obstetric unit) and 'support them in their choice of setting wherever they choose to give birth'.
The guidance also states advice given to women should be discussed in a way that means staff ' do not disclose personal views or judgements about her choices'.
Neal Stote, chairman of the Save the Alex Campaign, said: "There's lots of evidence which shows for women with low risk pregnancies giving birth in a midwife led unit has many benefits and we don't dispute that. However where women give birth should be their choice, based on unbiased information from their midwife.
"We don't see how staff can do that given that WAHT appears to have predetermined where a certain proportion of our mums-to-be should give birth. WAHT do not have the right to decide where women choose to give birth and we urge them to clarify the situation immediately and assure the women of Redditch and Bromsgrove they will not be forced to give birth in a setting they did not choose just so WAHT can justify the dangerous downgrade of our local maternity unit.
"We want mums-to-be to know they have the right to choose their birth setting and the right to request a different hospital from Worcester and we hope they will fight for those rights."
The NICE guidance also states commissioners should ensure women have access to all four types of birth setting, something Save the Alex argues they have failed to meet by supporting the downgrade of the Alex as Birmingham Women's and the Worcestershire Royal does not have appropriate capacity.
Original FAQ
8. Do I have to go to Worcestershire Royal or can I go elsewhere?
Mums-to-be who are booked into the Alexandra Hospital will automatically be transferred to Worcestershire Royal. However mums can choose to either have their baby at the midwife-led Meadow Birth Centre or can look at having their baby at South Warwickshire Foundation Trust or Birmingham Women's Hospital.
Amended FAQ
8. Do I have to go to Worcestershire Royal or can I go elsewhere? Mums-to-be who are booked into the Alexandra Hospital will automatically be transferred to Worcestershire Royal. Mums will be clinically assessed and offered the most clinically appropriate option of either the midwife-led Meadow Birth Centre or the consultant led main delivery suite.
Currently the petition is available to sign on-line at https://goo.gl/SelbEY Paper copies will be available to sign during the vigil on Thursday.

U.S. women's stars demand accountability from U.S. Soccer: 'It stood by as abuse continued to occur unchecked'
by Paul Kennedy
Nine of the best U.S. women's players of their generation have written to U.S. Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone and former president Carlos Cordeiro, her rival in the current presidential race, demanding accountability from the federation for abuse in women's and girls soccer.
This is from the statement from Christen Press, Crystal Dunn, Tobin Heath, Carli Lloyd, Sam Mewis, Alex Morgan, Kelley O'Hara, Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn:
"In both of your campaign platforms to be re-elected as Presidents of USSF, you discussed the need to look forward, not back. But without true accountability for the past, there is no promising future. For years, you allowed coaches and owners to rampantly abuse players. This unchecked and unpunished power endangered the safety, well-being, and careers of far too many women and girls. We suffered so that you could protect your bottom line."
The open letter comes a day after a report in the Washington Post that Rory Dames (photo), the former Chicago Red Stars coach, had been accused of misconduct with youth players decades earlier at his Illinois youth club, Eclipse.
Dames, who coached the Red Stars since the NWSL's start in 2013, quit abruptly after the Red Stars lost in the 2021 NWSL final to the Washington Spirit and shortly before a Washington Post report about abuse connected to his tenure with the Red Stars.
In 2018, Press, who played 63 games over four seasons with the Red Stars (2014-17), filed a formal complaint against Dames to U.S. Soccer, which was Press' employer. An investigation was conducted, but Dames continued to coach the NWSL team. The nature of the investigation -- who conducted it? who was interviewed? -- and its findings have never been revealed.
In their letter on Wednesday, the nine U.S. women's players wrote:
"The allegations documented in The Washington Post on Tuesday -- of systemic, egregious, and horrifying abuse of young girls by their soccer coaches -- are sickening. But what is worse is that this is yet another instance where the willful inaction of USSF's leadership jeopardized the health and safety of its players.
"Over the years, while we played on the USWNT and in the National Women's Soccer League, many of us reported to USSF instances where, as adults, we experienced abusive conduct by our coaches. Now we have learned that this abusive treatment also was repeatedly reported by minors and that USSF failed to respond to protect these young players. That is utterly disheartening."
Widespread abuse within NWSL. In 2021, three other NWSL head coaches -- the North Carolina Courage's Paul Riley, Racing Louisville's Christy Holly and Washington's Richie Burke -- were fired for cause or amid charges of abuse, and another head coach -- OL Reign's Farid Benstiti -- resigned under pressure after allegations of abusive comments were made. Gotham FC general manager Alyse LaHue was dismissed for violations of the league's new anti-harassment policy, allegations she denied.
Following a report by The Athletic in which two of Riley's former players at the Portland Thorns, Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim, accused him of sexual coercion and misconduct, U.S, Soccer announced former U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates would lead an external investigation into the behavior of Riley and the other NWSL coaches fired in 2021 for abusive behavior and how their former employers responded. It is only one of several investigations into abuse within the NWSL being undertaken.
In their letter on Wednesday, the nine U.S. women's players added:
"Last year, many of our colleagues courageously spoke out about the verbal, emotional, and physical abuse they suffered during their time in the NWSL. Their bravery sparked an important reckoning and reflection in our sport, both here and abroad. But these players never should have had to turn to the press to protect themselves and future generations. USSF had the obligation to protect its players -- yet it stood by as abuse continued to occur unchecked. For starters, USSF should have immediately removed coaching licenses from abusers. Instead, USSF allowed those individuals to coach while saying it would investigate. USSF failed to do the bare minimum -- to keep us and the young girls who play in the youth leagues safe."
Dames' coaching license suspended. Susan Bogart, Dames' attorney, told the Washington Post that the allegations of sexual harassment and grooming against Dames in its report on Tuesday were false. She also cited the 2018 investigation by U.S. Soccer, which "cleared Mr. Dames, issued no sanctions against him and expressly permitted him to continue coaching." The Post reported that Dames' coaching license was only suspended, according to Bogart, after the federation was contacted. by the Post with some of the most recent allegations.
The nine U.S. women's players asked:
"We are writing to you today, on behalf of thousands of little girls across our country who play in the youth leagues, to demand full transparency and accountability in addressing these systemic problems. Where are the results of the investigation that you are spending USSF time and resources conducting? Has the investigation being conducted by Ms. Yates yielded any of this information that players are forced to report to media because you have not released the information or taken any action related to it? Do players experience fear of continued reprisals and retribution from USSF? Most importantly, what steps will you take to make sure that every girl and woman can play soccer safely in the USSF and the NWSL?"
On Tuesday, Soccer America asked Cone about long the investigation would take, whether the Yates' investigation would revisit the federation's 2018 investigation into Dames' behavior while he was at the Red Stars and whether it would extend to youth soccer. This is how she responded:
"We've given Sally full rein and full autonomy to take the investigation wherever she thinks it needs to go. We've given her all the resources, access to any documentation that we have. I'm not in direct contact with Sally. We put a group together that's communicating with her, so I know no more than you do. [That group is headed by the federation's independent directors.] Everyone on our board pretty much is conflicted except for independent directors."
In a statement to the media, a U.S. Soccer spokesperson stated the organization shared the concerns of the players. Cordeiro described the allegations in Tuesday's Washington Post report as "horrific." He said he was unaware of the 2018 investigation, which took place during the first year of his tenure as president, until the November Washington Post story.
He told ESPN that "U.S. Soccer doesn't have to wait for the [Yates] investigation to act. I agree with our women's players that U.S. Soccer should take immediate actions to make sure that all players are protected and nothing like this ever happens again."
U.S. Soccer's management role. In appointing Yates, U.S. Soccer acknowledged it played a major role in establishing the NWSL in 2013, provided administrative support to the league until 2020 and continued to financially support the NWSL in which most almost all of its national team players compete. It said it was committed to sharing the results of the investigation when it concludes.
The NWSL was launched by U.S. Soccer in 2013 to keep women's pro soccer alive following the collapse of two previous attempts at women's pro soccer by WUSA (2001-03) and WPS (2009-11).
U.S. Soccer has had no ownership interest in the NWSL LLC but performed what were described in its 2021 financial statement as "management, governance, operational, administrative, and advisory services for NWSL" under a management agreement that ended on Dec. 31, 2020.
In 2021, U.S. Soccer and the NWSL had what were termed a one-year "performance support agreement" to work cooperatively "to support and maintain high performance environments, share data and support the NWSL's athletes and the growth of women's soccer."

PARIS — This morning, as we were perusing Nordstrom.com, we noticed a sentence at the top — "Including Céline sunglasses — now available online."

At first, we didn't know how to react.
Happy because that would mean we wouldn't have to go in-person anymore to try on a new model, see how they fit our face (or if they fit our face)?
Unhappy because of the potential of Célines becoming trend and falling into the diluted brand landfill?
Remain neutral and inform readers that Célines may now be bought online?
Ultimately, we were disappointed. But that disappointment started back in October.
Phoebe Philo, former Céline Creative Director | Photo: V Magazine
In October 2017, LVMH was interviewing designers to replace Céline creative director Phoebe Philo and rebuild the design team in preparation for her eventual departure from the French fashion brand, said several industry sources in Paris and London with knowledge of the matter.
On 22 December 2017, it was announced that Philo was stepping down. We got a gut-wrenching feeling. Each time a revered, revolutionising creative director (ex. Jenna Lyons) has stepped down, the brand has begun to capsize.
"Each time a revered, revolutionising creative director has stepped down, the brand has begun to capsize."
Put well, "It smells like the end of an epoch," one headhunting source said on condition of anonymity.
Now, we're left wondering: is this e-commerce "birth" a part of Céline's poor plan that started with Philo's leaving? We think so.

Philo's the responsible party for remaking Céline into the label for unfussy, minimally chic, professional women.
"You could tell a Céline customer from a mile away — the 'just-so' cut trench…"
You could tell a Céline customer from a mile away — the "just-so" cut trench or bag perched atop her arm. Given the personality of the Céline customer, she also appreciated the uncommonness of the brand's products.

Whilst inconvenient at times, in a way we respected that we had to go out of our way in order to obtain, say, the CL 41076/S Tildas in Black. We liked that we didn't see them on every other woman. We appreciated that it required us to do our research on the brand — know the style numbers, colour names, and shifts each season (the CL 41050/S in Havana, for example.)
Having to acquire this knowledge in order to secure the product made us, and all other Céline customers, devout followers. In the times of trend, we need more of those — die-hards with their own development and expression of style.

Now, the fashion industry is feeling the pressures of e-commerce. We get it. But designers who choose to be more accessible run the risk of becoming diluted (example: Michael Kors.)
We have a feeling Céline is heading towards the same demise.

"Designers who choose to be more accessible run the risk of becoming diluted."
The golden rule of maintaining some semblance of luxury is to rein in the brand's ubiquity.
Europe's luxury groups (including Céline) have always done a wonderful job of focusing on long-term brand building through maintaining an "illusion of exclusivity." Conversely, U.S. luxury houses have chased short-term sales by increasing distribution once the brand becomes trendy, then suffering blowback once the brand becomes too ubiquitous and fails. In other words, they shatter the illusion and as a result, lose the brand cachet.

"The golden rule of luxury: rein in the brand's ubiquity."
We understand the needs to meet numbers. But luxury players must stop sprinting to sell as much as possible, as fast as possible, or they're to suffer the consequences.
"Shatter the illusion and the brand cachet is lost."

So we end with a note to Céline:
Do not increase supply just because demand goes up from e-commerce. Do not rapidly expand. Do not sell through countless third parties. Stay laser-focused on what has gotten you this far, and continue to grow with that scope.
Céline is chic, it is minimal, it is stated, and it is rare. And that's why we like it. Let's please keep it that way.

Making Globalization Work
Nobel Prize laureate and former World Bank chief economist Joseph Stiglitz discussed his new book, Making Globalization Work. The book offers fresh ideas including a plan to restructure a global financial system made unstable by U.S. debt, ways countries can grow without degrading the environment, and a framework for free and fair global trade. Stiglitz argues that economic globalization continues to outpace the political structures and the moral sensitivity needed for a just and sustainable world, and proposes ways to close the gap.
C. Fred Bergsten, Director of the Institute for International Economics and Nancy Birdsall, President, Center for Global Development participated as discussants.

Q: Binding integer in XAML does not result in error I am a newbie to WPF/XAML. I would like to get an error message if I bind to the wrong data type in XAML. It seems that XAML wants all binding to be through strings, but there are no error messages if you use an int or double by mistake.
I have found this XAML code here:
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Path=PointList}">
    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <Canvas />
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
    <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <!--<TextBox Text="{Binding Path=Xstr, Mode=OneWay}" />-->
            <Rectangle Fill="Red" Width="25" Height="25" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
    <ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style>
            <Setter Property="Canvas.Top" Value="{Binding Path=Ystr}" />
            <Setter Property="Canvas.Left" Value="{Binding Path=Xstr}" />
        </Style>
    </ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
</ItemsControl>

I have used an observable collection PointList of Points(X,Y). I made the mistake at first of using integers for X and Y instead of strings. This was very difficult to debug since there was no error message when trying to bind the Canvas.Top to an integer. Is there a setting in Visual Studio to be able to catch this kind of error?

UPDATE
I have found that the binding works on an int property, but not with a public int field. Here is a Point class I created to test this out:
class Point
{
    public int _X; //I know this is usually private, this is to demonstrate
    public int _Y; //the issue with binding to a public field
    public string Xstr
    {
        get { return _X.ToString(); }
    }
    public string Ystr
    {
        get { return _Y.ToString(); }
    }
    public int X
    {
        get { return _X; }
        private set { _X = value; }
    }
    public int Y
    {
        get { return _Y; }
        private set { _Y = value; }
    }

    public Point(int x, int y)
    {
        _X = x;
        _Y = y;
    }
}

If I bind to the int property X or string property Xstr it works fine. If I try to use the public field _X then it seems the binding cannot find the class member (even though it is public). So when a binding fails, the behavior is not the same as an exception in your code. An error like the following shows up in the output window, but the application does not stop:
System.Windows.Data Error: 40 : BindingExpression path error: '_X' property not found on 'object' ''Point' (HashCode=7877106)'. BindingExpression:Path=_X; DataItem='Point' (HashCode=7877106); target element is 'ContentPresenter' (Name=''); target property is 'Left' (type 'Double')

A:
seems that XAML wants all binding to be through strings

That's not true. You can bind which ever datatype you would like, as long as the property you are trying to bind to and the property you are trying to bind are from the same type, or share a certain base type.
If they are not, WPF Binding mechanism offers something called Converters which lets you convert the bounded type to the type the binded property is expecting.
By default, WPF Binding mechanism will call the ToString() method on any property you are trying to bind. in your case, calling a ToString() method on an int returns the wanted result, so no problem there.
But if you were to use a reference type for example, by default ToString() would return the type's name instead of the value you were expecting, which would cause an unexpected behaviours.
You can not catch those type of "errors".
You can :

*

*See them at run-time in visual studio output window, as mentioned in the comments section.

System.Windows.Data Error: 5 : Value produced by BindingExpression is not valid for target property

*

*Pay attention to what you are binding

*Look for type-mismatches when seeing unexpected behaviours in bindings.

Welcome to the magic of xaml :)

A: A data binding can use any data type. The binding system calls "ToString" or built-in converters on each item to get a representation for XAML. (You get around that by writing your own converters, which is a XAML subject all its own.)
The others are correct that .NET doesn't throw errors when there are problems with binding. This is, I've been told by the Microsoft employees who helped write it, intentional. They call it "failing gracefully".
But getting error message feedback is possible. To get better error messaging from the binding system, find the "Tools", "Options" menu item in Visual Studio. Then, go to the "Debugging" section and select the "Output Window" property category.
One of the entries there is a group called "WPF Trace Settings". Change the "Data Binding" option to "Warning" and you'll get debug-window feedback on all your failed bindings.

A: Firstly using X and Y as integer instead of string actually work.
Otherwise if you set you project as debug instead of realease, most binding error will be printed in the console output.

Experts Question if Bias Training Works
Starbucks closed thousands of its stores for bias training Tuesday in response to an incident at one of its Philadelphia locations
By Vinita Nair	• Published at 7:13 pm on May 29, 2018
Starbucks' decision to shut down its stores for a day of "unconscious bias training" is something a company of its size and scale has never tried before.
While employees were paid for their time, the training was not mandatory. But how do you teach employees about unconscious bias, and can a three to four hour training session really be effective?
Starbucks estimates it spent about $12 million on the training. Industry experts said public shamings like this one are unprecedented. They believe Starbucks crafted its response knowing it could be a template for how other businesses handled allegations of racism.

Here is a snippet of what their employees saw.
"Just saying, you know, everyone watch this DVD and now we won't have a bias in our stores -- that doesn't happen," Gary Moskowitz, a professor at the SMU Cox School of Business, said.
Despite his skepticism, Moskowitz applauded Starbucks' handling of the situation. Although there were nationwide protests, he said Starbucks stock has fallen less than one percent. He said he thinks other companies might not have responded so swiftly.
"Doing something so dramatic kind of changes the new story from, 'Oh my goodness they mistreated people in their store,' to 'Oh my goodness they're really serious. They don't want this to happen again.'"
From a business strategy standpoint, Moskowitz said he was not surprised Starbucks invested so much in education. His concern was the effectiveness of unconscious training in the past.
"The issue is that there is not a lot of evidence it works well. Looking at the research, there are a number of employees who if you tell them 'Don't go out and do x,' they're going to go out and show their independence. They're going to go out and do x."
Moskowitz said Starbucks should follow the precedent set by the restaurant chain Denny's. In the 1990s, the company settled an almost $60 million lawsuit brought by black customers.
As opposed to a public response, they restructured the company and retrained staff. A decade later they've earned the reputation as one of the most minority friendly workplaces.
Across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, there are 36 Williams Chicken restaurants. Director of Franchise Development Tim Williams said diversity is often discussed.
While the majority of customers at the Cedar Hill location are black, which reflects the make up of the city the restaurant serves, Williams said each of his stores staffs at least one Spanish speaking employee every shift.
"You have to pay attention to your customers and I noticed our customers, especially our Spanish customers feel a little bit more relaxed, more at ease when they can communicate with a Hispanic person, or somebody who speaks Spanish."
When it comes to diversity, Williams said public trainings are a step in the right direction, but he said what happens privately is just as important.
"What does the top of the spectrum look like?" he asked. "What does the President, CEO, the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Marketing, Chief of Personnel-- what does that look like? Start at the top, because if you don't start at the top and work your way down, it's not going to work."
Starbucks said today's training was the first step in what it called a "long term journey." The company said it planned to share its curriculum and content with other companies, and make it a part of all new hire training.
Many retailers, including Walmart and Target already offer some racial bias training. In response to these events, Target said it planned to expand its training.
