After the weeklong delay caused by the prolonged speakership election, Iowa's House members have finally received their committee assignments, allowing them to begin their work in Congress.
On the other side of the Capitol building, Sen. Joni Ernst joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers to call for increased interreligious dialogue and Sen. Chuck Grassley is gearing up for some big fights on agriculture.
House members clinch prominent committees
Typically, House members serve on only one or two committees, whereas senators may serve on up to four or five committees.
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks was appointed to serve on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, a committee that could allow more influence on topics from renewable energy to consumer protection.
"I'm honored to have been chosen to serve on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce," Miller-Meeks said in a press release. "I'm proud of my background as a surgeon, and I'm confident that experience, paired with Iowa's leadership in the clean energy space, leaves me uniquely qualified for this role."
Rep. Ashley Hinson was appointed to the House Appropriations Committee, which controls government spending, a position she held in the last session of Congress.
"As the only Iowan on this committee, I will continue to watch your taxpayer dollars like a hawk, work to restore fiscal responsibility, bring critical investments back home, and ensure our state has a seat at the table," Hinson said in a news release.
Rep. Zach Nunn was appointed to the House Financial Services Committee, which regulates finance, banking and currency.
"With Des Moines being an influential insurance and financial hub known around the world, I'm honored to be selected to sit on the House Financial Services Committee and intend to be a leading voice for top employers and their employees in our state," Nunn said in a press release. "On Financial Services, we'll be prioritizing rebuilding our economy, combatting China's malign influence and working across the aisle to put Americans back in control of their personal financial data."
Rep. Randy Feenstra was appointed to the House Ways and Means Committee, another influential House committee that oversees taxation and tariffs.
"From agriculture and trade matters to healthcare and tax policy, Ways and Means covers a wide array of legislative priorities important to our agricultural community and rural way of life," Feenstra said in a news release. "As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, I will continue to be a strong voice for Iowa families, farmers, producers, taxpayers, and small business owners who deserve a seat at the table."
In the Senate, Grassley will continue serving on the Senate Budget, Finance, Judiciary and Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committees, along with the Joint Committee on Taxation, holding Iowa's place in powerful committees.
Ernst will continue serving on the Armed Services, Environment and Public Works, Small Business and Entrepreneurship and Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry committees this session.
Big votes, big issues
China was a primary focus at the start of this session, along with abortion and the IRS.
The House voted to establish a Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, or more colloquially, the Select Committee on China. All four of Iowa's House members voted to establish the committee.
"The United States is the strongest and most prosperous nation in the world, but China will stop at nothing to threaten our economy, buy up American farmland, and undermine our interests," Feenstra said in news release. "By establishing a select committee to counter the Chinese Communist Party's alarming aggression, Republicans are sending a clear message to China and their sympathizers that we will not be intimidated by their reckless behavior. In Congress, I will continue my work to prevent China from purchasing our farmland and jeopardizing our national security."
The House, including all of Iowa's members, also voted to end selling oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China.
"China represents the greatest threat to our national, economic, energy, and food security. From buying up American farmland to stonewalling investigations into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, China cannot be trusted," Feenstra said in a statement.
More locally, Hinson and other House members are backing a bill that would end foreign ownership of farmland. This comes after the purchase of farmland near a military base in North Dakota, which critics said raised security concerns.
Republicans also approved legislation on providing medical care to babies who survive an abortion and defunding new money provided to the IRS by the last session of Congress. Iowa's House members voted in favor of both pieces of legislation.
Grassley also weighed in on foreign ownership of farmland by responding with proposed legislation.
"I plan to reintroduce my bipartisan bill that bans the federal government from allowing foreign individuals to obtain credit and financial services through the Farm Credit System," Grassley said.
Grassley, along with Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, co-sponsored legislation to "prevent the Farm Credit Administration from underwriting foreign buyers seeking to purchase U.S. farmland.
Grassley said the bill would amend the 1971 Farm Credit Act to "ensure foreign nationals can't obtain financing through federal government-backed financial institutions to purchase American farmland."
He will also be proposing changes to the Conservation Reserve Program that he said would make it easier for domestic farmers to buy land.
Grassley makes oversight moves
Grassley, in his position as ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, announced he is seeking a review of a program that allows employees of private companies to serve in federal government roles. He said he is seeking to determine whether a non-profit organization with ties to Google CEO Eric Schmidt was creating a conflict of interest for federal employees who work with the organization.
Grassley said in a press release and letter that he wants to ensure that the Intergovernmental Personnel Act assignees who worked with the Federation of American Scientists were under no conflict of interest due to the influence of Schmidt's money. Schmidt has donated to FAS in the past.
Ernst encourages interreligious dialogue
Ernst, who co-chairs the Abraham Accords Caucus, sent a letter to the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Rashad Hussain, pressing for increased interreligious dialogue in the region where the Abraham Accords are in effect, she announced in a press release. Those countries include Israel, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan.
Also signing the letter were Sens. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev.; Cory Booker, D-N.J.; James Lankford, R-Okla., and Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash.; Brad Schneider, D-Ill.; David Trone, D-Md.; and Ann Wagner, R-Mo.
The Abraham Accords Caucus was created to promote peace between Israel and its neighbors.
Supreme Court, balanced budget
Hinson introduced Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-South Dakota, at a press conference Saturday, where Johnson announced a bill that would ensure that the number of Supreme Court justices stays at nine. The "Keep the Nine" amendment is a response to some Democrats calling for an increased number of justices on the court due to outsized conservative influence.
Additionally, Nunn introduced his first bill, one that would amend the Constitution to force the federal government to have a balanced budget and require a certain number of members to pass certain fiscal and monetary measures.
"It's time to restore a sensible, functional government that works for the American people, not one that irresponsibly spends money and taxes us," Nunn said in in a news release. "Having a balanced budget is a step in the right direction to restoring good public service to every single American regardless of party or background."

The first step to designing any database in SQL is to identify what to include and what not to include. The next steps involve deciding how the included items relate to each other and then setting up tables accordingly.
Decide what objects you want to include in your database.
Determine which of these objects should be tables and which should be columns within those tables.
Define tables based on how you need to organize the objects.
Optionally, you may want to designate a table column or a combination of columns as a key.
The first step in designing a database is deciding which aspects of the system are important enough to include in the model. Treat each aspect as an object and create a list of all the objects you can think of. At this stage, don't try to decide how these objects relate to each other. Just try to list them all.
When you have a reasonably complete set of objects, move on to the next step: deciding how these objects relate to each other. Some of the objects are major entities that are crucial to giving you the results you want. Other objects are subsidiary to those major entities. Ultimately you may decide that some objects don't belong in the model at all.
Major entities translate into database tables. Each major entity has a set of attributes — the table columns. Many business databases, for example, have a CUSTOMER table that keeps track of customers' names, addresses, and other permanent information. Each attribute of a customer — such as name, street, city, state, zip code, phone number, and e-mail address — becomes a column (and a column heading) in the CUSTOMER table.
When deciding how to structure database tables, involve future users of the database as well as the people who will make decisions based on database information. If you come up with what you think is a reasonable structure, but it isn't consistent with the way that people will use the information, your system will be frustrating to use at best — and could even produce wrong information, which is even worse.
Now you want to define a table for each entity and a column for each attribute.
The CLIENT table links to the ORDERS table by the ClientName column.
The TESTS table links to the ORDERS table by the TestName (TestOrdered) column.
The EMPLOYEE table links to the ORDERS table by the EmployeeName (Salesperson) column.
The RESULTS table links to the ORDERS table by the OrderNumber column.
If you want a table to serve as an integral part of a relational database, link that table to at least one other table in the database, using a common column.
The links illustrate four different one-to-many relationships. The diamond in the middle of each relationship shows the maximum cardinality of each end of the relationship. The number 1 denotes the "one" side of the relationship, and N denotes the "many" side.
One client can make many orders, but each order is made by one, and only one, client.
Each test can appear on many orders, but each order calls for one, and only one, test.
Each order is taken by one, and only one, employee (or salesperson), but each salesperson can take multiple orders.
Each order can produce several preliminary test results and a final result, but each result is associated with one, and only one, order.
The attribute that links one table to another can have a different name in each table. Both attributes must, however, have matching data types.

Lessons of DIY Urbanism in a Syrian Refugee Camp
Governments are so accustomed to dictating their will, through coercion if necessary, that they find it unimaginable that people might willingly – and with creativity and enthusiasm – self-organize themselves to take care of urgent needs. So pause a moment to behold the remarkable Zaatari Refugee camp in Jordan. This settlement of 85,000 displaced Syrians is showing how even desperate, resource-poor people can show enormous creativity and self-organization, and turn their "camp" into a "city."
In many respects, Zaatari bears an uncanny resemblance to the DIY dynamics of the Burning Man encampment in the Nevada desert – an annual gathering that attracts more than 65,000 people for a week. Both eschew "government" in favor of self-organized governance. Both confer opportunities and responsibilities and individuals, and facilitate bottom-up initiatives through lightweight infrastructures.
As the New York Times reported on July 4, the Zaatari camp has "neighborhoods, gentrification, a growing economy and, under the circumstances, something approaching normalcy, though every refugee longs to return home. There is even a travel agency that will provide a pickup service at the airport, and pizza delivery, with an address system for the refugees that camp officials are scrambling to copy." Times' urbanist/architecture critic Michel Kimmelman declares that "Zaatari's evolution points more broadly to a whole new way of thinking about one of the most pressing crises on the planet."
Historically, most refugee camps are seen as impermanent camps whose desperate, wretched populations need "service delivery" of all sorts. The "professionals" must orchestrate and administer everything. The role assigned to the sad, needy hordes of refugees is to queue up in lines for food and to idle away their hours and days.
In Azraq, a refugee camp of 11,000 Syrians in the middle of nowhere, the "city" is "strictly policed, with fixed, corrugated metal shelters in military order, dirt floors and shameful public toilets, and it has no electricity." Refugees there are "terrified at night without electricity to light the shelters, unprotected against the scorpions, mice and snakes, say they escaped one nightmare to arrive at another."
But what if you conceive a refugee camp not as an impermanent waystation (which often endures for years) to be "administered" from the top down, but as a project in self-organized, participatory, bottom-up city-building?
Kimmelman notes that the oldest parts of Zaatari "have streets, one or two paved, some lined with electric poles, the most elaborate houses cobbled together from shelters, tents, cinder blocks and shipping containers, with interior courtyards, private toilets and jerry-built sewers. Clusters of satellite dishes and water tanks on the skyline can bring to mind favelas in Rio de Janeiro or slums in Cairo. Like favelas, the camp has grown according to its own ad hoc, populist urban logic, which includes a degree of social mobility."
The Zaatari experience illustrates "a basic push toward urbanization that happens even in desperate places – people leaving their stamp wherever they live, making the spaces they occupy their own."
A German relief agency official describes Zaatari as "a complex ecosystem that you could call a city or a slum. Either way, it's a dynamic place, unforeseen by the humanitarian actors running it, which is giving refugees a sense of ownership and dignity."
Kilian Kleinschmidt, the United Nations official in charge of Zaatari, describes the city as having "14,000 households, 10,000 sewage pots and private toilets, 3,000 washing machines, 150 private gardens, 3,500 new businesses and shops." It has barbershop, a pet store, a flower shop and a homemade ice cream business. Its main drag is called the Champs-Élysées. The owner of a bridal shop on the Champs-Élysées bought his property in the black market for 7,000 Jordanian dinars, or about US$10,000, which he may re-sell at a profit in the future.
To be sure, there have been some important top-down administration and leadership decisions making all of this bottom-up self-organization possible. As the camp's administrator, Kleinschmidt had to engage with and neutralize the organized crime bodies that were more or less running the camp, and he had to support and encourage grassroots projects. But his critical realization was seeing his challenge not as UN management of a refugee camp, but as enabling refugees to build their own city: a critical shift of perspective.
To be sure, Zaatari is a squalid place with lots of problems. But it is surely a big advance when the management strategy recognizes the agency, imagination and dignity of refugees themselves, and tries to leverage those energies to improve everyone's circumstances. This strikes me as the essence of commoning.
Kleinschmidt is now exploring ways to get wifi for the camp and obtain 10,000 bicycles from an urban planning office in Amsterdam. This, reports Kimmelman, "prompted a few canny Syrian refugees to open bike repair shops even before the bikes arrived."
Perhaps DIY refugee camps like Zaatari will eventually teach municipal governments around the world a few things about unleashing the cooperative capacities of people and making their cities more robust, productive and liveable. Zaatari should perhaps be considered a charter member of the Maker City movement.

What is Relay For Life | Relay for Life
Home > What is Relay For Life
"Relay For Life is a life-changing event experienced with others for individual needs and shared Cancer-related goals." - Cindy Menache, volunteer
Relay For Life is a festive event for all ages that focuses on solidarity and fund-raising for the fight against cancer. Over 24 hours, the community members of a city, town or locality mobilise themselves in order to:
Celebrate and pay tribute to people that have conquered cancer, and support those that are still fighting the disease;
Remember people that have lost their fight against cancer and support those still fighting the disease;
Stand united in the fight against cancer.
Sponsored teams relay for 24 hours. At least one member of the team must be present on the track at all times.
The 24 hours are a symbol of the constant battle patients and their families must endure in the fight against the disease. Relay For Life is not a competition! But a gathering of communities united in the fight against cancer.
In 1985, Dr Gordy Klatt, an intestinal surgeon, organized the first "Relay for Life" in Tacoma (Washington, USA). During 24 hours, he ran around a track to collect money for the American Cancer Society.
25 years later, Relays For Life take place in more than 20 countries outside the USA (France, Holland, Ireland, Luxemburg, South Africa and New Zealand to name a few). Through Relay For Life millions of volunteers around the world participate in the fight against cancer.
When and where does Relay happen?
There is no one fixed date or place for Relay. Events happen all over Belgium, and all year round! Find a Relay near to you, and either start your own team or join an existing team.
Relay For Life's objective is to raise funds for the fight against cancer. These funds are remitted in full to the Foundation against Cancer, whose mission is:
• To support scientific research financially;
• To promote prevention and healthy lifestyles through awareness and education;
• To provide social care to people affected by cancer, along with their families
Opening Ceremony: celebrating the courage of our guests of honour
The "Survivors" are Relay For Life's guests of honour. They are the people who have overcome cancer, or who are still undergoing treatment. The event pays tribute to them and celebrates their courage. The Survivors run/walk the first lap of the Relay For Life, encouraged by their families, friends and all participating teams.
The "Caregivers" are all the people who have supported those affected by cancer, in their fight against the disease. The Caregivers join the Survivors for the second lap.
This "goose bump moment" marks the start of the Relay For Life. It is at the same time a celebration of the battle won against the disease, a gesture of hope sent to the people affected by cancer, and to their families, and a way of thanking all the people who have given them help and support.
Are you a Survivor too?
For Relay For Life, it is an honour to feature you in the Opening Ceremony. Take this opportunity to get support and to give support to others battling cancer.
Participate as fighter
Luminaria Ceremony: Remembrance and Homage Together
Another collective moment of the event is the Luminaria Ceremony, which has a triple symbolic purpose:
To commemorate the people who have passed as a result of cancer,
To support those suffering from cancer,
and To celebrate the people that have overcome the disease.
Anyone can make a donation toward a candle and paper lantern on which a name, a wish or a message can be written.
The candles are then placed along the track and lit when night falls. Each light is a sign of hope, consolation and memory.
Buy your candles
Closing ceremony: everybody celebrates the final lap together
The Closing Ceremony pays tribute to all the people that have made the Relay For Life possible. As a highlight, all these people run the final lap together.
It is also the moment when the revenue is revealed and everyone is thanked. The funds raised at the Relay For Life are remitted to the Foundation against Cancer in their entirety.

Mining Chemicals Market by Type (Frother..
This report, from Stratview Research, studies the mining chemicals market over the trend period 2012 to 2017 and the forecast period 2018 to 2023. The report provides detailed insights into the market dynamics to enable informed business decision making and growth strategy formulation based on the opportunities present in the market.
There has been a growing interest in the chemical industry in the mining sector. Rising global populations, increasing per capita income, and increasing disposable income are positively influencing the demand for consumer goods as well as transportation, energy, and the construction and infrastructure activities across regions. This, in turn, is impacting the overall demand for mining materials for making final products; hence, the demand for chemicals for the mining sector.
The upward trajectory of the mining chemicals market is projected to continue with a healthy CAGR of 4.7% during the period of 2018 to 2023. This represents an attractive growth opportunity in the entire ecosystem of the market. Organic growth in the mining sector, an extensive usage of mining chemicals for better yield, and a greater amount of chemicals required for processing of lower-grade ores are some of the major factors that are proliferating the growth of the mining chemicals market.
Furthermore, regulatory bodies, such as EPA and REACH, has imposed several regulations to protect the interest of workers and the nearby environment from the usage of mining chemicals. All these factors have led to an extensive investment towards the new product development and innovations in the mining industry.
The indispensable focus area of the mining sector is to invest in the development of efficient technology and enhance the profitability of existing mines. The introduction of stringent government regulations regarding workers' safety and health are also compelling the sector to invest heavily in the technology in order to address the requirements of such regulations.
The mining chemicals market is segmented based on the type as Frothers, Flocculants, Solvent Extractants, Collectors, Grinding Aids, and Others. Others include defoamers, corrosion inhibitors, antiscalants, dust suppressants, biocides, etc. The grinding aids segment is projected to remain the largest segment of the market during the forecast period. The segment is also likely to witness the highest growth during the same period, driven by its extensive usage for limestone grinding in cement production. China, India, and the USA are the major cement producers and so are the major grinding aids markets. Flocculants and collectors also hold considerable shares of the market and are expected to witness healthy growth rates during the same period.
Based on the mineral type, the mining chemicals market is segmented as Base Metals, Non-Metallic Minerals, Rare Earth Metals, and Precious Metals. The base metals segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, owing to increasing industrial and infrastructural development activities in the regions, such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa.
The mining chemicals market is also segmented based on the application type as Blasting & Drilling, Mineral Processing, Water & Wastewater Treatment, and Others. The blasting & drilling segment is expected to remain the dominant segment of the mining chemicals market during the forecast period. The segment is also likely to witness the highest growth during the same period, driven by the coal industry. Also, depleting mineral reserves have led to deep-surface mining, which, in turn, is driving the demand for mining chemicals in the blasting & drilling segment.
Asia-pacific is expected to remain the largest mining chemicals market during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023. The region is also likely to experience the highest growth during the same period. Rapid economic expansion along with growing industrial and infrastructural activities in the developing economies are driving the market in the Asia-Pacific region.
China and India are likely to remain the growth engines of the region's market during the forecast period. China is the largest producer of mining chemicals worldwide. Despite the depleting growth of Chinese economy, China is likely to maintain its dominance in the global market; however, this trend is likely to adversely impact on the overall growth of the mining chemicals market.
Europe and North America are the other two major markets for mining chemicals. The USA is the largest market in North America, whereas, both, Western and Eastern Europe, are the major markets with almost a similar demand for mining chemicals.
The competition in the mining chemicals market can be better understood by beholding two distinct segments. In which, the first is commoditized and highly price-sensitive chemicals and another is highly-priced specialty chemicals. It is expected that the major global players will gradually move away from highly commoditized chemicals with the purpose to give a high focus on the specialty chemicals segment. The market is populated with both global as well as regional players. It is important to note that the growth strategies for global companies would be quite different than the regional players. For instance; the development of unrivalled technical service across regions, high R&D and innovation capabilities, and the formation of strategic alliances in order to quickly gain more share; whereas, the development of cost-competitive chemicals, good regional/local reach, and the ability to gain access to technology at a reasonable cost are some of the strategies for regional players.
The supply chain of this market comprises of raw material suppliers, mining chemical suppliers, and mining companies. The key players in the global mining chemicals market are BASF SE, Cytec Solvay Group, Clariant AG, Arkema, and Akzo Nobel N.V. It is also observed that distributors are gradually capturing more shares in the market due to decreasing commoditized chemical prices and their vast coverage in unpenetrated locations. Merger & acquisition, new product development, and forming strategic alliances are the key strategies adopted by the major players to gain a competitive edge in the market.
This report offers high-quality insights and is the outcome of detailed research methodology comprising extensive secondary research, rigorous primary interviews with industry stakeholders and validation and triangulation with Stratview Research's internal database and statistical tools. More than 1,000 authenticated secondary sources, such as company annual reports, fact book, press release, journals, investor presentation, white papers, patents, and articles have been leveraged to gather the data. About 15 detailed primary interviews with the market players across the value chain in all four regions and industry experts have been executed to obtain both the qualitative and quantitative insights.
The Global Mining Chemicals market is segmented into the following categories.

Post-Truth/Fake-Posts. Or, the Truth in Beta mode
Cymene Howe
EASST Review Volume 36(1) 2017
When I was a kid I liked to tell a good lie. My untruths were not malicious or injurious but they were very intentional deceptions. Like every kid, I knew that lying was a bad thing to do but there was a particular thrill in carefully crafting a deliberative fiction that would travel and that would hold. My objective was to have it be believed, and believed by many. The real victory, which was rare, was to have the deception circle back to me, uttered iteratively from second to third to fourth parties until it came home to its origins, returned to the ears of its maker. This was a long time ago and yet, our so-called post-truth era of alternative facts does make it seem as though we are now experimenting with truth in the beta mode: uncertain, crowd-sourced versions of reality.
LIES & BULLSHIT
The lie is often taken as a dirty act, so dishonorable that in polite company it would be understood as an assault to suggest that someone is a liar. When Donald Trump claimed the crowds at his inauguration were "the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period" or when he proclaimed that "millions of illegal voters" had cost him the popular vote, journalists and media commentators were quick to check those claims against the facts, but they were loath to accuse him of lies. Trump supporters remained faith-full1 to their man despite no evidence that any bogus votes were cast anywhere in the country, and that there was no sign that his inaugural crowds were anything more than mediocre. Nonetheless, reporters and pundits in the U.S. tended to demure from stating that "he lied." Instead, the liar had 'misstated' the truth or, even more sympathetically, had failed to produce a verifiable fact. A lack of facticity is one dimension of misstatement, but it is the alternative fact2–a deliberately, spuriously concocted alter-truth–that most characterizes what is now being called a post-truth era. It was the alternative fact that caused a run on copies of 1984, Orwell's3 dystopian saga of a society rhetorically reproduced through 'newspeak,' the sine qua non of doublethink.
Where many U.S.-based journalists may shy away from calling a liar a liar, British commentators appear less concerned about that terminological propriety. They use the word4 and then some, and with some distinction. As Laurie Penny elegantly put it in The New Statesman recently, "The liar has a clear idea of what the reality of a situation is, and wants their audience to believe the opposite." The bullshit artist5, by contrast, "wants to destroy the entire concept of truth, not to deceive but to confuse, confound and control." So, do we now live among proud liars and accomplished bullshit artists? Undoubtedly both.
INVENTIVE NEWS
Lying and bullshitting are both creative acts. So too, is the news. A science reporter for The New York Times, for instance, must take newly formulated, or found, scientific facts and make them news. She must use her wits to shake the dull chaff from the shiny (newsworthy) grain of fact/s. And in this hewing process the appeal is also fashioned, the linguistic instruments used to make a story a story and to give science its representational shape in words. In this sense, news about, and of, science is always already a simulacra of scientific facts. The news of science is a rendering, coded through language and deposited in epistemic spaces – from hallowed news outlets and jacked-up talk radio screeds to social media silos of our own making. But representation, we know, is never just representation. It is only, as James Clifford (1986) would have it, a "partial truth" that is always and forever caught up in the very invention of what it represents. Alternative facts do not make themselves up, but they do make their way around, seeming to accrete more and more truth along the way. Remember that in Orwell's work, science, in the conventional sense, had almost ceased to exist. In newspeak there was (or is) no word for science.
Over the last decade or so, about 35% of journalism jobs in the United States have been lost (Boyer 2013). The contemporary news ecology in the U.S. and elsewhere shows signs that journalistic deprofessionalization has increased just as a hyperprofessionalization of hoaxing and fake news has exponentialized. We see fewer journalists working less time and more hoaxers and false news manufacturers working more time and with increasing influence. The bleed between factual news and promotional hijinks appeared as a proleptic foreshadowing to fake news in the Blue Water6 faux terrorist attack that fooled Germany's most respected newspaper back in 2009. Seven years later, in the late stages of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, a fake news maker based in suburban California7, Jestin Coler, set out to "infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right." Apparently one of the biggest fake news producers in the world, Coler is an unassuming fellow, but one with a talent for shaping stories and sites to suit the eyes and ears of what he calls the "white nationalist alt-right." A phony FBI murder-suicide8 tied to Hillary Clinton was the ideal vehicle for his creative and monetary aspirations, channeled through an organization that he calls Disinfomedia. Staging reality, as with the Blue Water hoax or with fake murder-suicides may be as simple as creating a handful of websites where content and form mimic the contour of real news while never intending to properly inform. Mediaspheres are permeable–both democratized as well as disinformationalized. But, this is not really new.
Naomi Oreskes9 and Eric Conway (2010) have written that the propagation of untruths, or the production of 'doubt,' has long been a corporate strategy to ensure increased profit and the continued manufacture of dangerous products, from cigarettes to carbon emissions. Perforating the veracity of scientific fact is a product in itself, they argue. It is something that can be marketed in a double sense: as a narrative in which doubt thrives, and again, as a material product (for example, tobacco) that, through the creation and dissemination of the deceptive narrative, will also be sold. In their book, Oreskes and Conway set out to unravel how a tiny handful of scientists were able to produce decades of uncertainty around the harms of chlorofluorocarbons, tobacco and carbon emissions. But their story does not end with the construction of scientific skepticism. It resolves instead with the distribution of those lies through media outlets whose journalists have been trained—rightly or wrongly—to "tell both sides of the story." (As though there were ever only two sides). In this way, a mountain of fact may be made to appear next to an eroded pebble of disagreement. Even in the attempt to provide objective balance, as the ethics of journalism demand, truly genuine truthly equilibrium has, as Noam Chomsky has shown for decades, never been fully achieved.
One of the distinguishing features of post-truth and post-factual times is the abrogation of professionalized news production to the agglomeration of social media newspeak. An argument can be made that as we buzz about in our hives of social media, we are each enrolled in the manufacture of news: the design and dissemination of news, facts, or factishes, truths or its partialities. Have we all become citizen journalists as we tap out our reposts and retweets? It is possible that we have collectively neglected professional news journalism to the point where expert media cannot insulate us from trolling liars. Worries about actual and potential public gullibility has meant that companies like Facebook are now posting primers on how to spot fake news. (Beware of headlines with too many exclamation points they say!!!!!!). But if a general dupability has overtaken our mediated lives, one wonders when it was, if ever, that anyone really believed that all of the posts on Facebook or the tweets rolling off of our screens represented the truth with a capital T.
THE TRUTH IN EMOTION
The term post-truth was beatified in 2016 as the Oxford English Dictionary's word of the year10. Post-truth is a condition, "relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief." Post-truthiness depends on a referent to objectivity, but most importantly it requires an emotive appeal, an ability to mold feelings, beliefs and to re-curve public consciousness in ways that serve its makers. Conversely, truth requires its paradoxical inverse. Truth needs the lie. Reality demands irreality and fact can only exists against falsehood. But post-truth is a game of complicities, a willingness to believe in the thing being claimed. This is both an epistemological and ontological proposition. Post-truth requires multiple epistemologies of the world and perspectival difference. Post-truth also demands, as Marilyn Strathern (2004) and Annemarie Mol (2003) might point out, multiple ontological forms of the 'facts' inhabiting worlds (in the plural). Distinct epistemes view facts in distinct ways. Multiple worlds produce multiple ontologies of facts. Post-truth may be most instructive in the ways that it surfaces that combination of truth creation.
Post-truth is also an affective condition where sentiment and faith converge upon the putative objectivity of fact. Science studies have demonstrated again and again how facts are not without their affective dimension in both their construction and diffusion; post-truthiness makes that abundantly clear. In post-truth worlds, the agent of deception is part of a dynamic oscillation between The Real (or facts as they are concluded as such in the present) and The Unreal. The liar knows the truth. And in this way she is also part of truthmaking, as well as its undoing. This is where Clifford's partial truths meet with Strathern's "partial connections." Truth is constituted, re-constituted and enacted in relation to various other realities, facts and verifiable events. This is a project of moving one enactment through the next.
SOCIAL THEORY & POST-TRUTHISHNESS
Perhaps post-truth is not novel, but in "fact" the constitutive ground of western social theory. The Enlightenment project was, as we well know, a program that sought out reason against faith, lauding the rational rather than the theological. Scientific methods and the empirical gaze were developed to surface the workings of physical phenomena and in so doing, unravel the metaphysical truths that had obtained over the centuries. If truth had been attributed to god/s, it now ebbed toward the intellectual pursuits of men, moving from the unseen acts of deities to the replicable experiments of science. New kinds of truth were emerging.
The idea that there could be another truth, that there was more than one truth, enabled the rationality project. In the early days of 19th century social theory, for example, were all kinds of truths variously deduced and exchanged. Emile Durkheim had his formulations of total social facts and saw society webbed through its collective unconscious. Gabriel Tarde saw another truth of nodal individuals (and their interests) compelled, nonetheless, to enroll in some form of the social contract. Alternative truths can be multiplied infinitely across academic spheres of debate. Science studies and feminist epistemologies–such as standpoint theory (Hartsock 1987) and situated knowledge (Haraway 1991)–have been both the great inheritors, as well as key drivers, of truth's disassembling. And, as Bruno Latour duly acknowledged in his essay11 comparing matters of fact to matters of concern, "factishness" has an insidious doppelganger in, for instance, climate change denial rhetoric. When was the moment that deconstruction became destruction or that undermining scientific certainty became an act of "adding even more smoke to the smoke (2004: 228)?" Have the last several decades of intellectual life been nakedly impartial in their razing of truth?
Our post-truth age may simply affirm that epistemic continuity never really existed or it may magnify how assemblages of disassembled truths have come to figure Real World imaginaries. What may sting most is the recognition that facts are so perilously frail, interpreted and emotive. But this is also a time to pause on the hyphen in the midst of post-truth, to balance for a moment on this gesture toward a time after the fact, where truth is found in the beta mode.

Given the downturn in China and general economic woes worldwide, the mood was surprisingly upbeat at the Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, with many exhibitors confessing that, while they hadn't expected much, a stronger presence of American buyers was cause for optimism among traders.
A total of 3,526 companies from 48 countries, including 204 from the United States, exhibited at the fair, held at the AsiaWorld-Expo Sept. 19–23 and Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Sept. 21–25. Organizer UBM Asia Ltd. reported slightly more than 51,000 visitors, with Hong Kong, China, India, and the United States sending the largest delegations.


Since opening in May, the Art House Wyong is establishing a growing reputation as a popular performing arts venue, hosting productions by popular local companies and already attracting Australia's finest touring acts.
The fly-tower equipped venue offers a 500 seat proscenium arch theatre and a flexible 130 seat studio space, suitable for emerging artists or digitally linked to the theatre as an orchestra room.
Entirely funded by the former Wyong Council, its construction cost of $12.7 million represents an remarkable return on investment.
The P.A. People installed the heart of the Art Houses' technical systems; the equipment that makes the everyday use of the venue possible and viable. Along the way, the Sydney-based company helped ensure that the equipment was industry standard, fit-for-purpose and made the venue as attractive as possible for touring performing arts companies and local groups alike.
Commenting on the venue, architect Tim Greer of Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects stated "it's great to see local councils building theatres.
Julie Vaughan, Project Manager for the Art House Wyong development also commented "the P.A. People are very knowledgeable.
"We worked with both Brett Steele and Chris Dodds on the Project. They walked the Council through the process and as we changed and updated a lot of the specified equipment throughout the task, The P.A. People were prompt with re-quotes and keeping Council up-to-date.
"As a result, the Council got amazing value for a regional theatre, and the community is now enjoying a very professional space.
The theatre's PA is a JBL VRX 900 Series system, with four elements each of VRX932LA-1 at left, centre and right. Two VRX918S subwoofers are flown above centre. Front fill is provided by seven JBL AC18/26s. The rig is powered and processed by a combination of Crown DCi 4 and DCi 8 amplifiers. Further processing for the Back-of-House system is courtesy of a BSS BLU-100, also connected to the Dante network. The Studio's PA is a flexible system of JBL EON615s and 610s that can be flown or tripod mounted as required. The house mic kit is a mixture of wired and wireless models from Shure.
Mixing desks are Yamaha digital on a Dante backbone, with a QL5 for large shows in the theatre, and a smaller TF1for the Studio, or smaller, single operator shows. A Yamaha Rio3224-D sits at the Theatre's prompt side, a Rio1608-D at opposite prompt. A second Rio1608-D is sleeved and can be deployed anywhere on the Dante network as needed. An eight-in Ri8-D and an eight-out Ro8-D are mounted in the bio box for local I/O. Dante sits on a separate switch from the building's IT network, with the Primary and Redundant connections run on separate V-LANs. There are 24 dedicated Dante patch points throughout the building.
The stage management console is a custom P.A .People build, and houses a Jands EZICOM 401 master station, a Leon Audio QLM16 MK4 cue light master station, Shure mic and a dual 8" LCD video monitor. Communications headsets are from beyerdynamic, while back-of-house area paging is through a combination of JBL and TOA ceiling and surface-mount loudspeakers.
Theatre lighting control is from an industry standard ETC Gio, while the Studio is run from a smaller ETC Element 40. The system is built around 20 JandsHPC12 digital dimmers, which control a predominantly LED rig built around ETC Source 4 LED models and Selecon Rama LEDFresnels, flown from Jands JLX-Pro lighting bars. Cyclorama wash is provided from seven Chroma-Q Color Force CF72 LED battens.

North police join UK-wide drive to clampdown on uninsured drivers
By Alasdair Fraser
- alasdair.fraser@hnmedia.co.uk
UK police are launching a nation-wide campaign to protect road users from uninsured drivers.
From today until Sunday November 1, roads policing units from all 43 forces will take part in Operation Drive Insured.
Increased enforcement activity by officers will aim to reduce the level of uninsured and untraced vehicles on UK roads which cause nearly one in every five road traffic collisions and push up insurance costs for law-abiding motorists.
The Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) devised the campaign with the National Roads Policing Operations, Intelligence and Investigation (NRPOII) committee
MIB compensates victims of uninsured drivers and has seen claims fall by 26 per cent since 2016.
But there are concerns the economic impact of Covid-19 could cause more people to risk driving without insurance.
Every four minutes in the UK an uninsured vehicle is seized and each year over 130 people are killed and 26,000 are left injured in collisions caused by uninsured and untraced drivers.
Evidence also shows drivers without insurance are more likely to commit hit and run offences and be involved in other crimes, such as using a stolen vehicle, driving while disqualified or substance abuse.
MIB, which is funded by insurers and ultimately consumers to provide financial support to victims of uninsured and untraced collisions, paid out £322 million in compensation in 2019.
The Department for Transport estimates these collisions cost the economy a further £2 billion a year in emergency services, medical care, loss of productivity and property damage.
Anna Fleming, chief operating officer at MIB, said: "We've made great strides in getting more people to drive insured in recent years, but the sad reality is that with Covid-19 putting so many people under financial strain, uninsured driving levels could creep up.
"Everyone suffers the consequences of uninsured driving.
"We're fully committed to our partnership with the police so we can get as many people as possible to drive insured to make roads safer and fairer for everyone."
Commander Kyle Gordon, head of NRPOII, added: "Many people will see uninsured driving as a victimless crime, or as only impacting on the profits of large insurance companies.
"This is not the case. We know from our work in roads policing that uninsured drivers are statistically significantly more likely to cause a death or injury on the road, which too often sadly brings devastation to victims, families and communities up and down the country.
"They are also frequently involved in wider road crime."
"Protecting the public and keeping our roads safe for everyone is our priority and removing uninsured drivers from our roads helps to do just that.
"This is why all police forces are acting to take uninsured drivers off the road every single day."

It may not be in Oakland, but North Oakland residents have a new library branch at their disposal. The new South Branch of the Berkeley Public Library—at Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Russell Street—re-opened for business last week after a 14-month closure that saw the demolition of the old building and the construction of a brand new multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art facility.
"It's a rule throughout California that if you live anywhere in the state you are eligible for a library card at any local library branch," said Jeri Ewart, manager of the South Berkeley branch, urging Oakland residents to make use of the newest area library.
The old branch had 4 public computers and could seat about 10 adults, but the new branch has 6 public computers that can be used for web browsing (plus 5 catalog computers) and easily houses the 25,000 title collection and seats 50 adults throughout the open floor plan. Where the old branch "felt like a bunker" according to Ewart, the new one feels completely open and airy, featuring lots of windows, 15 foot tall ceilings and natural air circulation throughout most of the library. The building is bright and modern and features a community meeting room, tool library, and a welcoming lobby that's nearly double the size of the old one.
Before coming to work for Berkeley's libraries, Ewart spent 3 years working for the Oakland Public Library system at the Golden Gate Branch. She says the differences between the two cities' funding of their libraries is obvious. Over the last two years, she has seen an increase in the number of Oakland patrons at the South Berkeley Branch, as the two closest Oakland branches—Golden Gate (at 56th St and San Pablo Avenue) and Rockridge (53rd St. and College Ave)—have seen staff furloughs and shorter business hours. "When the other branches close, people come here," Ewart said.
Every Oakland library branch (except the main branch) is currently closed Sunday and Monday, and Golden Gate and Rockridge close at 5:30 pm on Wednesdays through Sundays. The new South Berkeley Branch is closed Sunday, and open until 8 pm on Wednesday and Thursday, and until 6 pm the rest of the week.
The South Branch of the Berkeley Library is located at 1901 Russell St. in Berkeley. Hours and more information can be found here. For details on obtaining a Berkeley Public Library, go here.
The South Branch of the Berkeley Public Library re-opened to the public on Monday.
One thing that Ms. Ewart fails to mention is that the funding for the Golden Gate (and all Oakland branch libraries) is tied directly to usage, so the historical Carnegie Library known as the Golden Gate Branch will suffer if patrons migrate to the South Berkley Branch.
Also the Golden Gate Branch is open ALL Tuesdays until 8:00 p.m. Its true that it is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and it is open until 5 P.M. all other days.
Lastly the Golden Gate Branch Library has 13 computer stations for patrons to use and the "new" South Berkeley Branch has 5.
