Emma Best filed this request with the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States of America.
For the purposes of this request, the words "contacts" and "liaisons" are being used in the way CIA used them in CIA-RDP78-00300R000100090121-9 (dated 1975), which officially disclosed these relationships. A copy of the file can be found at https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP78-00300R000100090121-9.pdf. This request may be limited to the beginning of 1970 through the end of 1979.
I am a member of the news media and request classification as such. I have previously written about the government and its activities, with some reaching over 100,000 readers in outlets such as MuckRock, Motherboard, Property of the People, AND Magazine, Unicorn Riot, and more. As such, as I have a reasonable expectation of publication and my editorial and writing skills are well established. In addition, I discuss and comment on the files online and make them available through non-profits such as the library Internet Archive and and the journalist non-profit, MuckRock, disseminating them to a large audience. While my research is not limited to this, a great deal of it, including this, focuses on the activities and attitudes of the government itself. As such, it is not necessary for me to demonstrate the relevance of this particular subject in advance.
Additionally, case law states that "proof of the ability to disseminate the released information to a broad cross- section of the public is not required." Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Dep't of Justice, 365 F.3d 1108, 1126 (D.C. Cir. 2004); see Carney v. U.S. Dep't of Justice, 19 F.3d 807, 814-15 (2d Cir. 1994). Further, courts have held that "qualified because it also had "firm" plans to "publish a number of . . . 'document sets'" concerning United States foreign and national security policy." Under this criteria, as well, I qualify as a member of the news media.
Additionally, courts have held that the news media status "focuses on the nature of the requester, not its request. The provision requires that the request be "made by" a representative of the news media. Id. § 552(a)(4)(A)(ii)(II). A newspaper reporter, for example, is a representative of the news media regardless of how much interest there is in the story for which he or she is requesting information." As such, the details of the request itself are moot for the purposes of determining the appropriate fee category.
As my primary purpose is to inform about government activities by reporting on it and making the raw data available, I request that fees be waived.
I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on Oct. 18, 2018. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response.

Ruth Wilson Chases Tony and Emmy Awards with 'King Lear' and 'Mrs. Wilson'
Next up, Wilson stars in "His Dark Materials," one of HBO's best hopes to replace "Game of Thrones."

It's been a year of firsts for British actress Ruth Wilson. Currently running on Broadway, "King Lear" marks her first professional Shakespeare play, her first time singing in public, her first time playing a role written for a man (likely the first time both Cordelia and The Fool have been played by the same actress), and her first time sharing the stage with the mighty Glenda Jackson. (It's Wilson's second Tony nomination.)
And in the past year, Wilson finally said a firm goodbye, after five seasons, to playing her Golden Globe-winning Long Island beach girl in Showtime's "The Affair." And the BBC's BAFTA-nominated "Mrs. Wilson" is the first time she developed, produced and starred in her own television series – in this case, based upon her own grandmother's story. Playing Alison Wilson could yield her first acting Emmy nod.
It's surprising that her sexy husband-stealer role in "The Affair" or serial killer Alice Morgan in "Luther" (Season 5 is playing on BBC America) never generated Emmy love. But "Mrs. Wilson" offers a tragic true story that Wilson, having enjoyed telling for years, finally decided was juicy enough to bring to the small screen.
BBC/©WP Films Ltd.
Growing up, Alison Wilson behaved like your everyday grandmother, fixing lunch, picking the kids up after school. Ruth had no idea that after her grandfather Alexander Wilson died, his wife took vows as a secular Catholic nun. The revelation that he was a British spy with multiple wives and children was revealed to Wilson's family in stages. Her grandmother wrote a two-part memoir; she shared the first, which revealed one of her husband's other wives, with her two sons; the second came to light after she died, when Ruth was 21.
"When she died, we then discovered two more wives," said Wilson, over a post-Saturday matinee lunch of salmon and Brussels sprouts. "They got in touch with my uncle; he was the point of contact with two other families investigating their father. As the family puzzle was solved, connections were made: my dad has six half brothers and sisters they never knew of. We had a family meeting with 55 members, it was very emotional and moving. It was an extraordinary story – I never got bored of telling it."
One of the sons had hired researcher Timothy Crook, an expert in espionage and spy writers, who helped to report the evolving story. (British intelligence are still keeping some records sealed.) "We might never know who he really was," said Wilson, who has been working on the project for eight years. "I still don't know who he is or what his justification was for any of this."
The project came alive when she agreed to produce and star. "I decided I would play her," said Wilson. "It was the only way to protect her. I was showing all sides of her, I didn't want to shy away from her complicity in the relationship and her denial. I'm much more interested in telling a version of the truth and being brutally honest about how people were living their lives. My grandmother, if she is to believe or accept what he's done, her whole life falls apart. She strives to find out the truth and has a desperate need not to hear it, to wish it were something else."
Ruth Wilson in "The Affair"

Wilson has always been willing to portray the characters who are not as book smart as she is, from Long Island waitress Alison in "The Affair" to Alison the constrained and proper British stenographer in "Mrs. Wilson." "I suppose I connect with what drives these characters emotionally," she said. "The piece to me feels of its time. For a woman to divorce or to openly be illegitimate was completely shameful, and would have been also for her sons. It was frowned upon by the church and the local community. She was protecting them. My dad and uncle are glad she didn't tell them right away, that they learned in their 50s when they had families of their own and could deal with it rationally."
Wilson's return to Broadway came after theater and television director Sam Gold ("Fun Home") directed the final episode of "The Affair." He phoned her to offer the role of Cordelia, King Lear's spurned youngest daughter. Wilson politely suggested that there wasn't much to chew on. But when he threw in the second juicy part of Fool, she was tempted. "I wouldn't get offered Cordelia much anymore," she said, "I might not have this opportunity again."

Brigitte Lacomb
Anyway, Wilson was eager to return to the theater. "I go with my instincts," she said. "I need a play every few years to get to physically perform. Television and film are more claustrophobic, more internal, with the camera up here, close to you. On stage you are expressing yourself to the auditorium, it's more physical, you have to do it eight days a week."
Although Wilson commands considerable stagecraft – see Tony-nominated "Constellation" opposite Jake Gyllenhaal on Broadway, or the National Theatre's "Hedda Gabler" – Lear's Fool is a tricky comic role usually essayed by veterans like John Hurt. "He speaks in riddles 400 years old and the jokes are outdated," she said. "He doesn't have an end, you don't know what happens to him, he disappears. I find him quite mystical as a character. He's part of Lear's mind. As Lear's mind goes mad he starts to leave the play. He's got one foot inside the play, one foot with the audience, you can create what you want with him. I needed to make him relevant. How am I going to get underneath this guy and make him work for the audience? I haven't done much comedy, so I wanted to bring some lightness into it. I love him, he's a truth seeker. It lets out a different side of me, the real foolish side."
In one scene she sings and dances on a table – requiring knee pads. She had fun playing with gag props – including patriotic American socks and a big carrot stuffed through a hole in her pocket. "How do I make this joke work?" she asked. "It was dying every time I'd do it." Sometimes Fool imitates Lear, and in one memorable sequence, Wilson shadows him from behind. Gold initially wanted Fool to look identical to Jackson's Lear, but they eventually found a bowler-hat, flat-foot Chaplin style.
Ruth Wilson as Cordelia in "King Lear"
Singing Fool's two Shakespeare songs for the first time in front of composer Philip Glass was daunting. "It was frightening, it felt like drama school," she said. "He was generous, allowed me freedom to bring the character into the songs."
Wilson also had to contend with Jackson, who famously does not suffer fools of any kind. "She's ferocious. Her voice penetrates to the back of the Gods," said Wilson. "I would try things out and if she didn't hit me, it would stay in. She occasionally would tell me off. I had to say, 'okay.' As it's gone on, she's become more tactile on stage, which wasn't the case six weeks ago. It's grown as we're performing. I like that. It allows the tenderness of Lear, which you don't see in the rest of the play."
Both Cordelia and Fool are truth seekers, said Wilson, "One of which is a woman who Lear dismisses. He listens to Fool, who's a man. There are lots of sexual dynamics in the play. Shakespeare himself has played the two roles."
Wilson enjoyed playing opposite several women in key roles, including not only her two sisters but the usually male Duke of Gloucester. "Quite often women are on our own with men, in movies and Shakespeare," said Wilson. "It's a wonderful bunch of strong and talented women bouncing off each other, a lovely energy. It's a great cast; we all come from different avenues, so rather than homing in on one central place, Sam let it all be chaos. He's saying 'the world is chaos, people are disconnected.' We are all in different plays."
Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson) returns for the final season of "Luther"
BBC Ameirca
There's no question, says Wilson, that the best roles for women are in television. She's back for Season 5 of "Luther," and there's talk of a spin-off for Alice that has yet to become reality. "I love that character, she's so fun to play," she said, "but I felt that you have to frame it right. It has to be inside her world, which is a different place, a different genre. You have to think carefully about what that might be."
And theater allows a freedom to control your performance every time that long-running television series do not provide. "I love mini-series," she said. "There are more and more of those that are six or eight episodes long. TV series are a novelistic form, where the story has to repeat itself, and you can get slightly trapped in what the audience wants or expects, and characters end up doing the same tropes. Moving the stories forward on those TV series without an end is hard."
Like many actresses, Wilson has been dissatisfied with available movie roles and has moved into proactive development via her own production company. On "Mrs. Wilson" she loved "seeing how it all works," she said. "As an actor you think you're so important. I had never been involved in having a say working with the writer, being in the edit and seeing it come together, adding the music."
Wilson turns down many film roles that come her way, "until something is challenge to me," she said. "I love film and I want to do more of it. I want to work with brilliant filmmakers, but invariably I find the parts really surface. I found that quite early on with 'Lone Ranger' and 'Saving Mr. Banks.' The roles felt like women crying after a child; they were small, there was not enough there, they were written so simply. There was not enough to sink my teeth into."
One exception was a juicy supporting role in "The Little Stranger," Lenny Abrahamson's follow-up to "Room," which failed at the box office. "It was a total character piece," she said, "there was real misery at the heart of this woman."
Finally, Wilson is returning to series television this fall with the eight-episode launch of Philip Pullman's trilogy "His Dark Materials," one of HBO's hoped-for fantasy replacements for "Game of Thrones." She agreed to star as Marisa Coulter, the same role Nicole Kidman played in "The Golden Compass," because Wilson adored the books, which lean more adult than child, she said: "They're anti-God, intelligent. Lyra is the new Eve."
Her character Mrs. Coulter is "the mother of all evil. She's very powerful," she said. Like all the characters, she is accompanied by her spirit animal, a golden monkey, played on-set by an actor with a puppet. "I don't speak to it. I abuse it, so it's full of self-loathing." Tom Hooper directs the first two episodes; HBO is about to shoot the second season. (Season Three will depend on how the first two play with audiences.) "Logan" star Daphne Keen stars as Lyra, along with James McAvoy as Lord Asriel and Lin-Manuel Miranda as Lee Scoresby.
Next up, Wilson produces again with Jude Law; they have acquired rights to Deborah Kay Davies' book "True Things About Me," which is in development with writer-director Harry Wootliff at BBC Films for them to star in together.
Wilson is also developing an unsolved Australian true crime story into a podcast. "I'm interested in mixing and playing with the fact and the fiction," she said. "Podcasts are fascinating, we could do horror. It's intimate. Radio is for the whole room. A podcast is one person speaking into your ears, it has such potential to be frightening."

When an investor believes your idea has great potential to go big, it's human to confuse the relationship with a friendship. Truth be told, it's not. Investors have faith in your startup's concept, team, and solution. They want to believe your business can make them profitable. But if things go south, it usually means you won't shake hands and remain best buds.
An investor's core objective when putting money into a startup is to make a profit. In 99.9% of cases, what matters the most to them is to get a return on their investment. After securing a first round of funding from either a VC or investor, your next move is to establish professional relationships, not friendships. You cannot afford to make mistakes, which means you should expect investors to get tough on you.
Winning a battle doesn't mean you've won the war. Focus on accelerating growth and never schedule board meetings without something to show. And by "something" we mean actual numbers, progress, improved MVP, diverse team, etc.
It's easy to believe an investor could become a dear friend. Someone who believes your startup could make millions, may provide you with the motivation to step up your game. Many investors are fun people to hang out with; on a personal level, chances are you'll love talking and spending time with them. The main difference between them and your friends, is that friends have faith in you as a person. Investors only believe in your idea's validity in the market.
No matter what happens, a friend will always believe you can do more, even if you mess up. An investor only believe in you if your ideas goes big. Your chances of getting their trust back after you've failed are slim. Too many startup founders misinterpret the relationship they have with investors. Just because they're cool people it doesn't mean they're attached to you. The better you understand the concept, the better chances you have to stay focused on the business.
The old adage "Don't trust people. Trust their goals, motives and purposes" applies perfectly to the situation. Rather than confide in your investor and treat them as your friend, you should trust their goals, motives and purposes. This way you can manage expectations a lot better, and make decisions that are in the best interest of your business.
Just because investors are tough on you, it doesn't mean they have a hidden agenda. While it's in the best interest of a VC to treat you as their most valuable customer, the moment they sense your business doesn't deserve their money, they'll walk out. As a startup with a vision and a proven concept, work with your investor to increase its value. Leverage their connections, strategy, and insights to attain your goals, but don't assume that their kindness comes from the bottom of their hearts.
As an entrepreneur, you must understand that VCs are a fancier type of financial investors. While they do care what happens with your business, they have to satisfy the needs and wants of their investors, too. You shouldn't take things personally if they suddenly decide to drop out. You may be dealing with one VC; but that one VC most likely deals with 20 other startup founders. His job is to do business with the best, and quit those that they no longer believe in. At the end of the day, it's all about money and not feelings.
Imagine an investor is like your bank, mortgage holder or credit card company. These institutions want you to do well, so that you can afford to pay the interest and even get refinanced. If you don't, they won't hesitate to cut all ties and move on to someone with a better credit score.
Some investors are tough on you and startup because they want to see results. Many appreciate friendly meetings and monthly hangouts to get the edge off. But as soon as you're back in the office, they want you to stick to your promises. Nobody wants to lose money, which means they're ready to challenge your potential anytime to be certain they've made the right call when they wrote that check. How do you assure them they've made the right call? You show them progress.
Let's assume the last time you met over drinks and you've had a blast partying all night long. It's been 3 months since. Now they want to schedule a meeting to "go over some things". The biggest mistake you can make is assume they want to see you to talk about the crazy night you had together 3 months ago. Prepare to be challenged instead. Your investor will want to sit down and crunch the numbers; assess your financials, ask questions, and even challenge your potential with a couple of "Why didn't you do this and that" questions.
Don't feel bad that they don't want to talk about the fun stuff. Although they do want to build a solid personal connection, their interest is to get a return on their investment. If they see you've made progress, who knows, maybe they'll take you out for another crazy night.
Assuming investors have loads of cash to mess around with is a big mistakes. Smart VCs don't throw cash into every startup that pops up on the market. You're probably one in tens of other startups in their fund portfolio, which means one of their responsibilities is to manage an investment portfolio for other business partners. This means they made promises to other people, too.
If your business doesn't increase in value to attain liquidity, VCs are forced to drop out. It doesn't meant they don't like you as a person, but it's their duty as business people to invest in deals that have real growth potential. Great investors will do everything in their power to help your startup become a profitable company. Some will want to get involved and help with advice and guidance, not just cash.
Regardless, they're not your friends, but your frenemies. If business goes well, everyone's happy. If things go south, they'll leave you empty-handed without hesitation. For a founder, that's tough to grasp; and you will only be able to understand why they left after you've carefully assessed your own mistakes, too.
Every now and then an investor may be perceived as "the terrifying individual who barges into my company unannounced". VCs are tough on their entrepreneurs because they don't want to see them take their money and do nothing with it. A first round on funding doesn't ensure startup success. It's quite the opposite. You've got the cash, it's time to get to work!
However, startup founders make the mistake of not keeping investors informed with what's happening with their business. Many don't ask for help because they don't want to seem vulnerable. Instead, they make decisions (bad ones, usually) on their own and they complain that investors are not happy. Smart entrepreneurs on the other hand, are not afraid to embarrass themselves because they're reasonable enough to accept they don't know it all.
Why should investors be tough on you? Because otherwise you might perceive them as your friend. Friends can afford to borrow money from each other and be late with repayment - when dealing with investors, entrepreneurs don't have that luxury. You should learn to accept feedback as well as constructive criticism. Keep your investors updated with your progress on a monthly basis. A well-crafted report saves you from tens of unexpected questions, or a physical visit at your office at the worst possible time.
Investors and startup founders live in different worlds, and are cut from completely different cloths. While angel investors leverage their own money to fund a startup, VCs have a structure that demands them to contribute with 2-10% of the fund's capital and get no bonus until startup founders pay back that percentage in full.
Regardless, no investor wants to lose money. Founders on the other hand, invest time; lots and lots of time. They care about capital loss, too, because failure will prevent them from raising a second round of funding. Smart entrepreneurs are fierce athletes on a playing field; they're excellent operators with a very strong strategic sense. The best make prompt decisions, seek advice, and deliver results.
Investors are better described as coaches. They know how to give advice because they've been through similar situations before. Although they don't want to befriend the founder, they care about nurturing talent to help the business succeed. Bottom line is, you shouldn't take things personally. Some investors are tough because they want you to succeed. Above all, they want to be sure that their putting their money to good use.
Preparing for that big investor meeting? Here's a preview of what they'll be expecting.


dhw: Now please tell me which half of the process is autonomous.
DAVID: The major gaps before the sudden appearances in the fossil record tell us stepwise small adaptations aren't the way it happens.
dhw: Under "Little Foot" you wrote "God used an evolutionary method requiring little steps and big jumps/gaps as history of evolution teaches us." The point I have raised above is the difficulty of setting a borderline between adaptation (little steps) and innovation (big steps).
DAVID: Think Gould and punc. inc. and Darwin's own prediction that the steps have to be found to validate him. They haven't more than 150 years later. You are still almost totally Darwinist in your thinking. Directed design is the best fit to the problem. Survival in never pushing it.
dhw: I have repeatedly told you that I accept punctuated equilibrium, and I have repeatedly pointed out that NOBODY has yet explained the major innovations required for speciation. I don't know how often you want me to repeat all the alternative explanations I have offered, or to repeat that NONE of them answer all our questions. And I don't know how you can possibly stick to your dogma that survival "never pushes evolution", when even your own unproven hypothesis claims that your God deliberately designed one innovation after another to enable organisms to survive under new conditions, and their purpose was to enable life forms to survive until he could produce the only life form he actually wanted to produce, which was you and me. The difference between us here is that you have the innovations/adaptations being designed (by your God) in anticipation of their being needed for survival under new conditions, whereas I have them being designed (by intelligent cell communities) in response to their being needed for survival under new conditions. In both cases, survival is the prime reason for each innovation.
And that response to natural demands for survival is pure Darwin.

When Good Actors Go Bad: The 10 Most Infamous Celebrity Crimes of All Time
by The List Love · May 28, 2019
Celebrities. We idolize them and put them on a pedestal, but deep down, they are just like us regular human beings. Unfortunately, some human beings commit crimes.
Do a quick search for celebrity mugshots and you'll see that there's no shortage of famous people who have found themselves in trouble with the law.
From drug charges to armed robberies, sexual crimes, and even murder cases, celebrities have done it all. Here are 10 of the most scandalous celebrity crimes of all time.
10 Infamous Celebrity Crimes
Some of these you've definitely heard about before, while others you might find shocking. Let's find out more about famous people who committed crimes and got caught!
1. Bill Cosby
Some celebrity crimes become so public that when you hear their name, the first thing that comes to mind is their case. Bill Cosby is definitely one of those names.
He was the first celebrity to end up in jail due to the #MeToo movement. In 2018, Cosby was found guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman 14 years prior. After her, 59 other women came out with similar accusations.
Cosby received a sentence of 3 to 10 years in prison, which he started in September of 2018.
2. Snoop Dogg
If we asked you how many times you think Snoop Dogg has faced drug possession charges, what would you say?
Well, the answer is five. He even has cases overseas: in 2007, after taking a urine test in Sweden, authorities arrested him for suspected drug use.
The rapper was also accused of murder in 1993 when a member of a rival gang was fatally shot by his bodyguard from a car that Snoop was driving. However, he received an acquittal three years later.
3. Courtney Love
In 2003, the police found the lead vocalist of the band Hole breaking windows in the middle of the night. She faced with drug charges but ended up not going to jail. Instead, she went into a drug rehab center.
Even so, Love kept up her violent tendencies. In 2004, another female rock singer accused Love of assaulting her with a liquor bottle, which she threw at the victim's head.
4. Martha Stewart
Martha Stewart, the American TV personality known for her cooking, gardening and decorating tips, served five months in jail in 2004.
The reason? Fraud. Stewart conspired with her broker to obstruct justice and lied about why she sold her ImClone stock to him in 2001.
5. Matthew Broderick
Back in 1987, the American actor was in a fatal car accident where two people ended up losing their lives.
Broderick was on a holiday in Ireland, where you're supposed to drive on the left lane, the opposite of what you do in America. He ended up crashing head-on into another car and the two people in it didn't survive.
He was initially sentenced to five years in jail but, with no incriminating evidence found, he ended up only paying a fine of $175, which shows how a car accident lawyer can help in situations like this.
In 2009, photos of Rihanna, Brown's girlfriend at the time, emerged showing bruises on her face on the Internet. The female singer even had to go to the hospital due to how aggressive the physical altercation got.
The police accused Brown of domestic violence, to which he pleaded guilty, resulting in 6 years of probation.
That verdict did not calm his violent ways. In 2011, the R&B singer broke a window in a dressing room, and in 2013 he punched a man in front of a hotel in Washington, resulting in charges for felony assault.
7. OJ Simpson
The infamous OJ Simpson case was one for the ages. Out of all the celebrity criminals we're listing, this one is probably the most talked about one. It even led to the creation of numerous books and documentaries.
In 1994, police found Simpson's wife, Nicole Simpson Brown, dead. OJ quickly became a suspect due to a massive amount of physical evidence against him. But in 1995, he ended up getting acquitted.
However, Simpson did go to prison for a robbery case in which he was involved with in Vegas back in 2007. He was initially sentenced to 33 years but received an early release in 2017.
8. Lil Kim
In 2006, Lil Kim made headlines for perjury and conspiracy crimes.
The Grammy-winning rapper got a one year and one-day sentence in prison (and fined $50,000) after she lied to a federal grand jury to protect two of her friends. Lil Kim stated that she did not see them at a shootout scene, but security photos and two witnesses ended up proving otherwise.
The rapper got lucky with her sentenced because initially, she faced a maximum of 20 years in jail.
9. Mick Jagger
With sex, drugs and rock'n'roll as their motto, The Rolling Stones were the ultimate bad boys, and Mick Jagger stayed true to that image.
In 1967, Jagger found himself in trouble for drug use at a party with fellow bandmate, Keith Richards. In 1968, he received a charge for marijuana possession with his girlfriend, Marianne Faithfull. And in 1972, he got into a fight with a photographer, once again with Keith Richards.
Our last celebrity criminal is 50 Cent, who has gotten into trouble for drug-related crimes as well as physical assault cases.
In 1994, the rapper sold cocaine to an undercover police officer. Three weeks later, the police found heroin, cocaine and a pistol in his home, which resulted in a sentence of 3 to 9 nine years in prison. However, 50 Cent ended up only staying 7 months in a youth boot camp.
In 2013, the rapper was accused of assaulting an ex-girlfriend and ended up with five charges: one of domestic violence and the other four of vandalism.
No, Celebrities Are Not Perfect

Each one of us has the personal power to cause positive change. That power resides not in the collective, but in the individual. That means you. Yes, you. You have the power. Not them.
"MEN GO crazy in congregations, they only get better one by one." That's a line out of a song — the song All This Time, by Sting. I've used it as a quote on my email signature for some time. Recently, one of my clients asked me what I meant by including it. It refers to personal power, I wanted to say. The power that individuals have to transform and develop themselves. It always starts there, and seldom, if ever with the collective. The collective usually operates according to the rules of insanity. Instead I stumbled over my words. I found it difficult to provide him with a pithy "elevator pitch" response.
On the one hand that's OK. We don't want to be spitting out catch phrases like we're some angry radical, do we? On the other, I realised that what I've felt intuitively to be true needed to be backed up with a strong and succinct argument — and perhaps some data. So I did some research and this is the result.
We know this from when people get together to socialise and drink alcohol. If there's one person who doesn't want to, the rest will cajole him or her into drinking. It's as though there's something wrong with them for wanting to exercise their personal power, instead of conforming to the destructive actions of the group.
That's an obvious example, but let's turn it around. Let's look at a group of people who take a moral stand against alcohol, because of the damage it does. If somebody — whether inside their group or outside — dares to drink, well, you know where that can go: it can develop into judgement, then anger, vitriol and hatred, against anyone who drinks. Of course, the perpetrators of this anger will not recognise their own madness. They'll be blinded by their self-righteous red mist.
Perhaps alcohol isn't the best example, but I'm sure you can find some of your own. There is plenty of hate on social media right now and a good 50% of it is by people who believe they're on the "right" side of the argument (which is usually designated as the "left"). The content of the argument is not the point. The point is what happens to people when they get swept up by a collective mindset — any collective mindset.
Here's another George Carlin quote that furthers this point: "People are wonderful. I love individuals, I hate groups of people. I hate a group of people with a 'common purpose'. 'Cause pretty soon they have little hats. And armbands, and fight songs, and a list of people they're going to visit at 3am. So, I dislike and despise groups of people but I love individuals. Every person you look at; you can see the universe in their eyes, if you're really looking." Perhaps he weakens his point by "hating" so much, but the general argument is valid.
As further evidence for this notion, look at the wars that have been — and still are — fought in the name of religion, by people who believe they are "right". You can be sure that the people upon whose teachings those religions are based had something else entirely in mind.
It certainly feels that way when you take a stand against a collective mentality. Perhaps we're primed to believe others more than ourselves, or at least to doubt our own personal power, when enough people agree on something. Perhaps we're primed to feel stupid in the face of collective consensus. Even if that consensus is insane.
One area where this phenomenon has become a major problem is in the junction between the profit imperative of the corporate world, and individual conscience. This is best illustrated by the 2003 movie The Corporation, which assesses modern corporate business practices against the diagnostic criteria for a psychopath according to psychiatry's DSM-IV standard.
The film presents a strong case that corporations — and therefore the individuals that make up those corporations — are systematically compelled to behave like psychopaths: callous disregard for the feelings of other people; incapacity to maintain human relationships; reckless disregard for the safety of others; deceitfulness (continual lying to deceive for profit); incapacity to experience guilt; and failure to conform to social norms and respect the law.
You can look at this phenomenon in the context, not only of corporate voracity, but also of government corruption. To put a stop to things, and make a difference, always requires an individual to exercise their personal power. To stand up and say, "Enough!" That's never going to come from the collective. In the same way that the psychopath won't admit any fault, the collective will not either. The collective, by this measure, is insane, and seeks to perpetuate its own insanity. Of course, being psychopathic, if you're the one who stands up it will gaslight you into thinking you're the one who's insane, or stupid.
In South Africa right now, there is rampant corruption. It took a handful of individuals — Mcebisi Jonas, Vytjie Mentor, Makhosi Khoza — to stand up to it. Their actions split the collective, and some followed, but slowly and reluctantly. And not before the collective had rounded on Makhosi Khoza, in particular. Typical to these scenarios, it became about "the way she went about it". How often have you heard that phrase? The collective always pulls it out the drawer when it doesn't like what someones says.
Who's the one with "the problem"?
We see this in family systems and friendship groups too. The individual who seeks to do things their own way becomes the "identified patient", the one "with a problem". The more that person tries to assert their personal power, the more their actions are taken as further evidence of the problem.
It's often these individuals who present themselves for therapy or coaching. Incidentally, that very action on their part is often the indicator that they're the sane ones, because they're willing to take a look at themselves. The ones who refuse to are often the ones with "the problem". Similarly, you often get the boss asking a coach to come and "fix my team". Hmm.
This phenomenon also shows up in team versus individual coaching. People feel massively constrained in a team context and seldom say the things that they would in an individual session. The level of depth and authenticity that happens in an individual session is generally much greater. The difference happens in a team context when one individual — again, it's the individual — really opens up and shares and shows a willingness to go deep. That usually sparks something. If it's the leader who does that, even better. If no individual does, then the group won't and the result will be a superficial one.
There's another quote to consider here. It's by the father of the modern consciousness movement, G.I. Gurdjieff. He said, "Consciousness cannot evolve unconsciously.".In other words, it requires deliberate awareness and intent for a person or a group to evolve. It seems that such deliberate awareness and intent is a power that belongs to an individual, rather than to a group. As soon as a group gets hold of an idea, it turns it into a religion. It sets up an arsenal of rules, of rights and wrongs, and goods and bads. It hurls those like grenades at its members and the world, and runs away with itself. The individual once again gets lost and sublimates his or her personal power to the collective will.
In the Practical Mindfulness program we teach people how to "maintain the balance of your mind" and how to do that by treating every situation on its own unique merits, rather than by throwing a set of rules at it. To do that, you need to know yourself, to surrender your fear of the collective, among other things, and be able to answer to yourself. To allow that in others you have to be able to not judge them. That often means not getting lost in the collective mindset.
So here we come to my "elevator pitch" answer: Positive change is always initiated by an individual answering to his or her own intuition or conscience, and then acting on it. It seldom, if ever, emanates from the group. Groups tend to resist change, and just do more of whatever they're already doing, which is usually insane.
Looking for a living example of this, I realised that Gandhi is perhaps the paragon of this principle. When he performed his Salt March, he stood alone against the might of the British Empire — and won. The noteworthy aspect of his action was that he did not start a movement. He did not tell anyone else what to do. He simply walked down to the ocean himself and gathered salt — an individual action. Rosa Parks did the same. She took a seat designated for whites on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
Finally, that brings us back to Sting. And hopefully, now, the point is clear. Men go crazy in congregations, they only get better one by one.


Asher wasn't anywhere he could have picked up a tick, was he? The fatigue and achy limbs sound a bit suggestive of Lyme. Good luck at the doctor's office. Hopefully it won't be a mystery to them!
LOVE that last pic of Jasper.
We were in NY city in October, but climbing rocks on Central Park is as close as we got to nature. I googled it (I have no idea how I coped before google) and according to the NYC dept of Health, the majority of tick bites suffered by New Yorkers are from those who picked up bugs outside the city. Of course, it is always possible, I suppose, although could I have really missed a tick on his skinny little body?
Anyway, the doctor, who was for years a pediatrician but now specializes in attention deficit, thinks it is exhaustion. He thinks that Asher is just working so darn hard to stay focused when he needs to, and not yet sleeping properly, that it catches up to him now and then (he does this fairly frequently). Of course, he's not an idiot, and also ordered a whole blood workup to rule out the other, scarier stuff.

1. The first step is to do a search to see if someone else already owns the name that you want to trademark. That is done here. Select the "New User Form Search (Basic)" option. Under "Search Term" put the name that you would like to trademark and then hit the "Submit Query" button. Ignore anything that comes up as " Dead" as it has expired. It is also important to know that you trademark names by category. For instance, the name of my business is THE HOLE THING and my trademark is for goods and services that include sweaters and scarves etc. Someone else can come along and buy the name THE HOLE THING for the food industry or a machine part etc. For example if they wanted to trademark THE HOLE THING to name the center of a donut they could do it.

Spring is definitely in the air and the garden is starting to look lovely with some early colour. It won't be long until the Rhododendrons reveal their full display and the show begins in earnest.
The winter weather is fantastic at the moment and the mountains are amazing. The trails are in excellent condition for walking and riding and there is a lovely Alpine-esque atmosphere in the villages.

D.C. EDUCATION BRIEFS: Guiding Principles
by WI Webstaff December 2, 2020 December 21, 2021
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education's "20 Guiding Principles" focus on ensuring that revised D.C. social studies standards will include fewer, higher, clearer, rigorous requirements for coherent, developmentally appropriate and vertically alignment across grades pre-K–12.
The Guiding Principles push for revised standards that expand on the types of skills and knowledge to which all D.C. students should be guaranteed, as well as recognize that the world our students are growing up in is globally interconnected and culturally and racially diverse.
The State Board will review and consider recommendations for its 2020 annual report, which summarizes and highlights the agency's efforts in the social studies standards revisions, teacher retention and COVID-19 response efforts.
Emergency Compliance
The collection of daily attendance for both in-person and remote instruction remain vital as the District continues to respond to the ongoing COVID-19 health emergency in compliance with the Office of the State Superintendent of Education's proposed regulations.
The State Board will discuss the proposed regulations in preparation for a vote at its Dec. 16 public meeting.
Teacher Recognition
DCPS has awarded the DCPS 2021 Teacher of the Year award to Alejandro Diasgranados, who teaches fourth- and fifth-grade English Language Arts and social studies at Aiton Elementary School in Ward 7.
Diasgranados empowers his students to lead and learn in the classroom, inspiring empathy and igniting their passion to advocate for others, for themselves, and to develop the skills they need to excel in elementary and beyond, according to the D.C. State Board of Education.
The prestigious honor comes with a $7,500 cash prize.
EmpowerK12 Findings
EmpowerK12, in partnership with seven D.C. charter school networks and local school-based mental health experts, set out this fall to learn how D.C. students feel about and experience life and school.
As a result, a new blog post on survey results regarding the well-being of D.C. students showed that:
– D.C. students reported anxiety related to the pandemic report that their family's financial situation has become somewhat or significantly more stressful due to the pandemic.
– One of the most common responses by high schoolers to the open-ended question, "What do you like most about school so far this year?" was the word "nothing."
– Students who attend schools that serve a majority at-risk student population were less likely to report that they have a friend at school and that they feel loved.
Over the course of four weeks starting in late September, nearly 2,500 students in grades 3-12 from 22 D.C. charter schools anonymously completed the survey.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser wants to ensure students have internet at home during this virtual school term. The D.C. government will be paying for a year of residential internet service for eligible households provided by Comcast and RCN.

Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Burley!
I'm so sorry to hear that two members of your party won't be able to attend Mickey's Halloween Party with you. According to the terms and conditions, all tickets are nonrefundable and can't be resold. I would still call the Tickets line at (714) 781-4636, however, to see if a Cast Member can offer any other solutions.
Although a few members of your party won't be joining you for the party, there are still plenty of ghoulish good times to be had. Remember that your Mickey's Halloween Party tickets allow you to enter both parks up to three hours before the official start of the party. Halloween delights abound in both parks so feel free to start the fun early. The Frightfully Fun Parade is definitely a highlight of the party with the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow kicking off the parade with his eerie trot down Main Street, U.S.A. Then be sure to stay for the Halloween Screams: A Villainous Surprise in the Skies fireworks to cap off the night.
I hope this helps. Have a spooktacular time at the Disneyland Resort!

Do-or-die season for Khama Billiat
On Nov 3, 2019 17,506
It has been a good four years since South African soccer giants Kaizer Chiefs celebrated the joy of lifting silverware.
Warriors and Kaizer Chiefs striker Khama Billiat
And just like the players, the coaches have also changed since Stuart Baxter delivered the league title in May 2015.
Steve Khompela, Giovanni Solinas and Ernst Middendorp (current coach) have all had a chance to lead the dressing room.
However, for all the noise bellowing from the stands concerning Middendorp's lack of charm, what matters is that he gets the team to win matches.
Loga sweats over Khama, Musona injuries
Billiat blow for Kaizer Chiefs as Middendorp frets over…
Billiat scoffs at second wife reports
Khama Billiat scores second wife, pays lobola for singer…
Jan 10, 2021 101,801
One player that arrived with a reputation for scoring goals, winning games and trophies after a successful spell at Mamelodi Sundowns, will again be called to reproduce the magic.
As a big earner on a six-figure salary, the spotlight will be once again on Zimbabwean international star forward — Khama Billiat — to deliver a trophy.
Yesterday Billiat took a giant step towards helping Chiefs edge closer to ending that cup drought when he featured in their 4-2 penalty shootout win over rivals Orlando Pirates in the Telkom Knockout trophy quarter-final at Moses Mabhidha in Durban.
Billiat's nine goals and 11 assists, mostly provided early in the campaign when Solinas was in charge, were viewed as not being enough by some sections of the Amakhosi faithful, who saw him fade away when Middendorp took over.
But the general feeling of hope that he will spearhead the revival of Chiefs' fortunes can never be in doubt, but this is the season that he will be judged, according to former Amakhosi striker Pollen Ndlanya.
Billiat is one of two Zimbabweans at the Soweto giants, with veteran midfielder Willard Katsande being the other.
But there is no doubting that the spotlight is on Warriors talisman Billiat because of his high profile.
"This season we can safely judge him because it will be the second that he will be at Chiefs. It is normal that when you go to a new team you don't just get going right away, unless you are a brilliant player.
"Billiat did score goals last season, but maybe they were not enough. All the same, I feel he deserves another chance now that he has adjusted to Chiefs. This will be a do-or-die season for him.
"After this season, he can be judged aggressively because he will have had a second chance. The first season was about getting to familiarise himself with his colleagues, but now it's time to roll. There are no excuses this season, he will be judged by everyone," Ndlanya says.
The weight of expectation will be on the former Ajax Cape Town forward, who faced criticism despite providing the best input of all forwards at the club last term.
"It is normal that there should be huge expectations on Billiat and I am sure he knows it as well. Being the seasoned professional that he is, he will know how to deal with the pressure on a team desperate to win trophies after so many years.
"We all expect quality from him this season because there will not be a third chance. It is normal for Billiat to be criticised because of the quality that he has. Fans will obviously expect that the standards that they saw of him at Sundowns be matched," argues Ndlanya.
Billiat has at times appeared frustrated at Amakhosi when balls don't get to him, which gives weight to the argument that the quality at the club is not at par with Sun- downs.
Luckily, this term the Chiefs squad has been improved with the signing of forwards Samir Nurkovic and Lazarous Kambole, while midfielders Kearyn Baccus and James Kotei have been brought in.
"Sundowns was and is, still a better team, so that is why Khama performed there," maintains Daniel Matsau, with the retired forward just as forthright in condemning Chiefs.
"Chiefs has an average squad which looks like they are trying to build a team for the future, instead of winning trophies. Yet they have players like Khama who want to make money and win trophies, but they cannot do that because of the average squad.
"Khama cannot be expected to perform every week when he has so many average players around him. The trouble is that Billiat left a better squad at Sundowns to be in an average squad at Chiefs, so he has a lot of adjusting to do," he says.
As a top earner at Chiefs, Billiat has been the target of every disappointment from last term when the Glamour Boys were not performing. The critics always have the chance to put the boot in when he misses a scoring opportunity.
"Our people still need education about football because they are misguided by analysts on television, who don't protect our players," argues Matsau.
He adds: "This then leads to our supporters changing like the weather. They will celebrate you this week then see you as an enemy the next week when you didn't even get the supply, but they never want to check all those things. At times you also need to appreciate the effort that a player would have put in the team that day.
"Billiat didn't play badly last season but the challenge is that he in an average team. Imagine if there were three or four players who contributed as much as he did, with all those goals and assists. Chiefs are lacking a creative midfielder because (Siphelele) Ntshangase still hasn't done much.
"We need to check the service that Billiat is getting before pointing fingers at him. At times he gets tired of working hard because there is no supply. At Sundowns he worked less because his energy was directed in areas where he could score since the supply was always coming." The attacking riches at Chiefs disposal should mean goals flow this term, provided they are aggressive in the lay out of their line-ups once they have all attacking options available.
This Chiefs team cannot continue being flaky when they have Billiat, Castro, Kambole, Nurkovic, Bernard Parker, Lebogang Manyama and Dumisani Zuma to provide the firepower in the last third.
The fact is that when Billiat played his best football last term, he had Castro next to him and their partnership can never be discounted. So their influence factor will remain a matter of relevance, even through times when their effects are limited by the quality around them.
"They will do better if the team is also doing well," points out Sundowns legend Roger Feutmba. "You cannot expect the two of them to be cruising when the team is not. It must always be remembered that these two players are part of a team. Inasmuch as Billiat and Castro are quality, I don't think Chiefs have the squad that can go on to win the league, unless they beef up along the way.
"The Kaizer Chiefs I played against is no longer the same as the one I watch now, which is not even competing for the league anymore despite being the biggest club in the country in terms of both supporters and organisation," says Feutmba.
"I believe with the quality that Billiat has, the environment at Sundowns suited him best since he was around players that complemented him well. In football you need to have a collective element going before you even talk about the brilliance of the individuals.
"I don't believe that Chiefs have the type of players and philosophy that Sundowns have. Billiat has already proven that he is a fantastic player."
For Kenny Niemach- who played for both Sundowns and Chiefs, he has no doubt Billiat will deliver.
"You must always expect something special from Billiat, that is the kind of player that he is. Chiefs will want to reclaim their place as a top team this season. To do that, they need Billiat to pull the strings. "There is absolutely no doubt that Khama will come good this season. He has it at the back of his mind that he has a lot to prove. He is a top quality player who should be overseas," says Niemach. Niemach feels Chiefs game model should be structured to suit Billiat's strengths.
"From last season, Khama's numbers were not bad. It's only that the team was expecting a lot more from him, based on what he had done at Sundowns. However, what was forgotten was that the game model at Sundowns revolved around him, unlike at Chiefs where they have a totally different set-up.
"If the focal point at Chiefs was Khama, then a lot more goals would be expected from him. He would be the shining star that you expect him to be since he is getting the ball all the time. "At Chiefs they have a variety of combinations, some of which don't suit Khama in the way that he prefers to play football," Niemach said. — KickOff.com

During British Summer Time (BST), civil time in the United Kingdom is advanced one hour forward of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) (in effect, changing the time zone from UTC+00:00 to UTC+01:00), so that mornings have one hour less daylight, and evenings one hour more. [1] [2]

BST begins at 01:00 GMT on the last Sunday of March and ends at 01:00 GMT (02:00 BST) on the last Sunday of October. Since 22 October 1995, the starting and finishing times of daylight saving time across the European Union have been aligned [3] – for instance Central European Summer Time begins and ends on the same Sundays at exactly the same time (that is, 02:00 Central European Time, which is 01:00 GMT). Between 1972 and 1995, the BST period was defined as "beginning at two o'clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the day after the third Saturday in March or, if that day is Easter Day, the day after the second Saturday in March, and ending at two o'clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the day after the fourth Saturday in October." [4] [5]
The following table lists recent-past and near-future start and end dates of British Summer Time: [6]
2017 26 March 29 October
British Summer Time was first established by the Summer Time Act 1916, after a campaign by builder William Willett. His original proposal was to move the clocks forward by 80 minutes, in 20-minute weekly steps on Sundays in April and by the reverse procedure in September. [7] In 1916, BST began on 21 May and ended on 1 October. [8] Willett never lived to see his idea implemented, having died in early 1915.
In the summers of 1941 to 1945, during the Second World War, Britain was two hours ahead of GMT and operating on British Double Summer Time (BDST). To bring this about, the clocks were not put back by an hour at the end of summer in 1940 (BST having started early, on 25 February 1940). In subsequent years, clocks continued to be advanced by one hour each spring (to BDST) and put back by an hour each autumn (to BST). On 15 July 1945, the clocks were put back by an hour, so BDST reverted to BST; the clocks were put back by an additional hour on 7 October 1945, so BST reverted to GMT for the winter of 1945. [9]
In 1946, BST operated as normal (from April to October) but in 1947, BDST was re-introduced with effect from 13 April (BST having started on 16 March). The clocks were brought back in line with GMT at the end of summer in 1947, being put back by an hour on 10 August (to BST) and by another hour on 2 November (to GMT). [9] [10] [11]
An inquiry during the winter of 1959–60, in which 180 national organisations were consulted, revealed a slight preference for a change to all-year GMT+1, but instead the length of summer time was extended as a trial. [12] A further inquiry during 1966–1967 led the government of Harold Wilson to introduce the British Standard Time experiment, with Britain remaining on GMT+1 throughout the year. This took place between 27 October 1968 and 31 October 1971, when there was a reversion to the previous arrangement.
Analysis of accident data for the first two years of the experiment, published by HMSO in October 1970, indicated that while there had been an increase in casualties in the morning, there had been a substantially greater decrease in casualties in the evening, with a total of around 2,700 fewer people killed and seriously injured during the first two winters of the experiment, [13] :14 (PDF p. 18) [8] :23 [14] at a time when about 1,000 people a day were killed or injured on the roads. [15] [16] However, the period coincided with the introduction of drink/drive legislation; the estimates were later modified downwards in 1989. [13] :14 (PDF p. 18)
The trial was the subject of a House of Commons debate on 2 December 1970 [17] when, on a free vote, the House of Commons voted by 366 to 81 votes to end the experiment. [8] :25
Campaigners, including the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) and environmental campaigners 10:10, have made recommendations that British Summer Time be maintained during the winter months, and that a "double summertime" be applied to the current British Summer Time period, putting the UK one hour ahead of GMT during winter, and two hours ahead during summer. This proposal is referred to as "Single/Double Summer Time" (SDST), and would effectively mean the UK adopting the same time zone as European countries such as France, Germany, and mainland Spain (Central European Time and Central European Summer Time).
RoSPA has suggested that this would reduce the number of accidents over this period as a result of the lighter evenings. RoSPA have called for the 1968–71 trial to be repeated with modern evaluation methods. [18]
10:10's "Lighter Later" campaign, in addition to publicising the risk reductions described above, also highlights the potential energy benefits of Single/Double Summer Time, arguing that the change could "save almost 500,000 tonnes of CO2 each year, equivalent to taking 185,000 cars off the road permanently". [19]
These proposals are opposed by some farmers and other outdoor workers and by many residents of Scotland and Northern Ireland, [20] as it would mean that in northern Britain and Northern Ireland the winter sunrise would not occur until 10:00 or even later. However, in March 2010, the National Farmers' Union indicated that it was not against Single/Double Summer Time, with many farmers expressing a preference for the change. [21] Other opponents of daylight saving measures say that darker mornings, especially in Scotland, could affect children going to school and people travelling to work[ citation needed ].
A YouGov poll taken in March 2015 [22] suggested that 40% of the people surveyed would prefer an end to the practice of changing the clocks, while only 33% wanted to keep it (the rest were indifferent or not sure). A recent YouGov survey showed that 44% would prefer to keep changing the clocks as now and only 39% backed having constant summertime. 56% were against stopping changing the clocks in Scotland. Sunrise would be as late as 10 a.m. in the winter in northern parts. [23] It is feared that colder icier roads combined with people still half asleep in the dark is bad for health and safety.[ citation needed ]
The current arrangement is now defined by the Summer Time Order 2002 which defines BST as "... the period beginning at one o'clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the last Sunday in March and ending at one o'clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the last Sunday in October." [24] This period was stipulated by a directive (2000/84/EC) of the European Parliament which required European countries to implement a common summer time (as originally introduced in 1997, in Directive 97/44/EC). [25]
In part because of Britain's longitudinal length, debate emerges most years over the applicability of BST, and the issue is the subject of parliamentary debate. In 2004, English MP Nigel Beard tabled a Private Member's Bill in the House of Commons proposing that England and Wales should be able to determine their own time independently of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
In 2005, Lord Tanlaw introduced the Lighter Evenings (Experiment) Bill [26] into the House of Lords, which would advance winter and summer time by one hour for a three-year trial period at the discretion of "devolved bodies", allowing Scotland and Northern Ireland the option not to take part. The proposal was opposed by the government. The bill received its second reading on 24 March 2006; however, it did not pass into law. [27] The Local Government Association has also called for such a trial. [28]
The Daylight Saving Bill 2010–12, a private member's bill by Conservative backbench MP Rebecca Harris, would have required the government to conduct an analysis of the potential costs and benefits of advancing time by one hour for all, or part of, the year. If such an analysis were to find that a clock change would benefit the UK, the bill required that the government should then initiate a trial clock change to determine the full effects. [13] :1[ failed verification ]
In 2010, Prime Minister David Cameron stated he would seriously consider proposals in the bill. The bill was only likely to be passed with government support. Despite initial opposition in Scotland to the move, Cameron stated his preference was for the change to apply across the United Kingdom, stating "We are a United Kingdom. I want us to have a united time zone." [29] A survey in late October 2010 of about 3,000 people for British energy firm npower suggested that a narrow majority of Scots may be in favour of this change, though the Scottish Government remained opposed. [30]
The bill was debated again in Parliament in November 2011 and sent to committee in December 2011. [31] In January 2012, the bill was again debated on the floor of the House of Commons where it was filibustered out of Parliament by opponents. [32] Angus MacNeil, MP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar , argued that it would adversely affect the population of Northern Scotland, while Jacob Rees-Mogg, MP for North East Somerset, tried to introduce an amendment to give Somerset its own time zone, 15 minutes behind London, in order to highlight what he saw as the absurdities of the bill. [33] [34] With all its allocated time used up, the bill could proceed no further through Parliament. [35]

In 2018, after conducting a public survey, the European Commission proposed to put an end to seasonal clock changes in the European Union with effect from 2019. The European Parliament supported this proposal; however, as at October 2020, the proposal is still awaiting approval from the Council of the European Union, without which it will not come into force. [36] If the proposal is approved, implementation would be deferred until 2021. Each member state must choose whether to remain on its current summer time, in which case the last transition would be on the last Sunday of March 2021, or its current winter time, which would take permanent effect from the last Sunday of October 2021. Although the United Kingdom left the EU before any new directive became effective, EU rules continue to apply during the transition period (up until at least 31 December 2020). Thereafter, the UK could choose to make its own arrangements. [37] [38] If the UK were thus to continue observing summer and winter time, Northern Ireland would have a one-hour time difference for half the year either with the rest of Ireland or with the rest of the UK. [39] As of September 2018 [update] , the UK Government had "no plans" to end daylight saving. [40]
In July 2019, the House of Lords EU Internal Market Sub-Committee launched a new inquiry into the implications for the UK of the European changes, to "explore what preparations the Government needs to make and what factors should inform the UK's response." [41]

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, reckoned from midnight. At different times in the past, it has been calculated in different ways, including being calculated from noon; as a consequence, it cannot be used to specify a precise time unless a context is given.
Daylight saving time (DST), also daylight savings time or daylight time and summer time, is the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that darkness falls later each day according to the clock. The typical implementation of DST is to set clocks forward by one hour in the spring and set clocks back by one hour in autumn to return to standard time. As a result, there is one 23-hour day in late winter or early spring and one 25-hour day in the autumn.
Western European Summer Time is a summer daylight saving time scheme, 1 hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and Coordinated Universal Time. It is used in:
The Eastern Time Zone (ET) is a time zone encompassing part or all of 23 states in the eastern part of the United States, parts of eastern Canada, the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico, Panama in Central America, and Colombia, mainland Ecuador, Peru, and a small portion of westernmost Brazil in South America, along with certain Caribbean and Atlantic islands.
Central European Time (CET), used in most parts of Europe and a few North African countries, is a standard time which is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The time offset from UTC can be written as UTC+01:00. The same standard time, UTC+01:00, is also known as Middle European Time and under other names like Berlin Time, Warsaw Time, Paris Time or Rome Time.
Western European Time is a time zone covering parts of western Europe and consists of countries using UTC±00:00. It is one of the three standard time zones in the European Union along with Central European Time and Eastern European Time.
Summer time in Europe is the variation of standard clock time that is applied in most European countries in the period between spring and autumn, during which clocks are advanced by one hour from the time observed in the rest of the year, with a view to making the most efficient use of seasonal daylight. It corresponds to the notion and practice of daylight saving time (DST) to be found in many other parts of the world.
Time in New Zealand is divided by law into two standard time zones. The main islands use New Zealand Standard Time (NZST), 12 hours in advance of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) / military M (Mike), while the outlying Chatham Islands use Chatham Standard Time (CHAST), 12 hours 45 minutes in advance of UTC / military M^ (Mike-Three).
UTC+01:00 is an identifier for a time offset from UTC of +01:00. In ISO 8601, the associated time would be written as 2019-02-07T23:28:34+01:00. This time is used in:
Israel Summer Time, also in English, Israel Daylight Time (IDT) is the practice in Israel by which clocks are advanced by one hour, beginning on the Friday before the last Sunday of March, and ending on the last Sunday of October.
Australia uses three main time zones: Australian Western Standard Time, Australian Central Standard Time, and Australian Eastern Standard Time. Time is regulated by the individual state governments, some of which observe daylight saving time (DST). Australia's external territories observe different time zones.
The United Kingdom uses Greenwich Mean Time or Western European Time (UTC) and British Summer Time or Western European Summer Time (UTC+01:00).
Malaysian Standard Time or Malaysian Time (MYT) is the standard time used in Malaysia. It is 8 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. The local mean time in Kuala Lumpur was originally GMT+06:46:46. Peninsular Malaysia used this local mean time until 1 January 1901, when they changed to Singapore mean time GMT+06:55:25. Between the end of the Second World War and the formation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963, it was known as British Malayan Standard Time, which was GMT+07:30. At 2330 hrs local time of 31 December 1981, people in Peninsular Malaysia adjusted their clocks and watches ahead by 30 minutes to become 00:00 hours local time of 1 January 1982, to match the time in use in East Malaysia, which is GMT+08:00. SGT (Singapore) followed on and uses the same until now.
Europe spans seven primary time zones, excluding summer time offsets. Most European countries use summer time and harmonise their summer time adjustments; see Summer time in Europe for details.
Metropolitan France uses Central European Time and Central European Summer Time. Daylight saving time is observed in Metropolitan France from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. With its overseas territories, France uses 12 different time zones, more than any other country in the world.
Ireland uses Irish Standard Time in the summer months and Greenwich Mean Time in the winter period..
As of 2017, daylight saving time is used in the following Asian countries:
Parts of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Samoa are areas of Oceania that currently observe daylight saving time (DST).
Spain has two time zones and observes daylight saving time. Spain mainly uses Central European Time (GMT+01:00) and Central European Summer Time (GMT+02:00) in Peninsular Spain, the Balearic Islands, Ceuta, Melilla and plazas de soberanía. In the Canary Islands, the time zone is Western European Time (GMT±00:00) and Western European Summer Time (GMT+01:00). Daylight saving time is observed from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October throughout Spain.
Winter time is the practice of shifting the clock back during winter months, usually −1 hour. It is a form of daylight saving time which is the opposite compensation to the summer time. However, while summer time is widely applied, use of winter time has been and is very rare.

School board hopefuls discuss issues at forum
By Ben Robinson, Courier Staff
LIBERTY — Two of the four candidates vying for the School Board's Liberty-area District 3 seat addressed the public last Thursday at the monthly meeting of the Pickens County Republican Party.
The seat was formerly held by Ben Trotter, who resigned earlier this year.
The two candidates in attendance were former School District of Pickens County building program director Bob Folkman and longtime district employee Bonita Thomas Holland.
Two other candidates, local businessman Roy Costner and Tri-County Technical College Easley campus director Brian Swords, chose not to be a part of the debate.
Holland, who worked in various departments in the school district before retiring after more than 30 years of service, said that the district should move slowly in addressing maintenance issues from the old facilities that keep arising.
"There's not anything we can do about it now," Thomas said.
Folkman said he had advised the district to put money aside for future maintenance needs, but that move was rejected by the administration.
"We need to set a plan of looking at the current budget," Folkman said, "being more frugal about how we utilize that money, and take a share of it and put it away for future needs."
Another issue the two candidates addressed was school board procedure and governance, problems that have recently led to widespread controversy after an AdvancED accreditation report highlighted issues among school board members.
Folkman said he prefers working with the functioning board in Dorchester County, where he now works.
"They adhere to the rules and regulations," Folkman said. "They discuss things in a civil manner, they don't have personal agendas, there's no politics involved and they get things done. I look at it as an asset for me to come from experience like that."
Holland said she would strive to be more transparent with the community.
"If they have a question, then we need to answer it," Holland said. "If you are a representative of the district, you need to vote 'yea' or 'nay,' not just back off."
The candidates weighed in on the controversy over building a second middle school in the Easley area.
Holland was for it.
"I think we need a second school in Easley," Holland said. "Gettys is too big. Kids are going to be on top of each other."
Folkman was in charge of the building program during the saga of the Gettys facility. He said he was challenged in 2010 by then-superintendent Dr. Henry Hunt to find a way to put two middle schools in Easley. His solution was for two middle schools, each with 750 students, at a cost of $9 million. But Easley residents said they wanted to save the portion of the high school that was built in 1939, so he adjusted the budget to renovate the former Easley High School campus.
"It's the largest campus square footage-wise in the district," Folkman said.
But as the projects moved forward, the people objected to having what was perceived as a "have" and a "have-not" campus, so the former Gettys building had to be on par with the former Easley High School. The district could not afford to adopt such a plan.
"I am not in favor of another middle school in Easley," Folkman said. "We cannot afford it. The community had their opportunity to have two middle schools, and they rejected it. "
Now a charter school is trying to purchase the former Gettys property.
"If the charter school gives Easley its second middle school, then so be it," Folkman said. "I represent Liberty, not Easley. I would vote 'No' every time for a second middle school funded through the School District of Pickens County."
The candidates were also asked about superintendent Dr. Kelly Pew's application for a similar position in Rock Hill and how they would approach finding a replacement if Pew got another job.
"The main criteria would be to look at the resume and see if they have stayed in one place for a length of time," Holland said. "Not just going from district to district for more money."
Folkman said he could not blame Pew for seeking a new position.
"Dr. Pew is a superintendent, and she's paid a salary," Folkman said "And with the situation she's in right now with the board and funding issues, I wouldn't blame her if she went somewhere else."
As far as a replacement, Folkman said "I would vote for the best candidate for the long-term interest of the School District of Pickens County."
