WIWTW #17 (XL Edition)
Yup, I was away last weekend which is why this edition of WIWTW will cover two weeks worth of movies.
But first...
Some News (That I Actually Care About)
Have a hankering to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens as soon as it comes out? Better be ready to buy your tickets online at 8:30 PM EST on Monday the 19th. That's 30 minutes after the final trailer is released. No doubt they'll be selling as fast as podracers. @io9
Box office report: The big winner of the weekend will most likely be 90's nostalgia champion Goosebumps which looks like it'll finish with around $25 million. Ridley Scott's The Martian will be hot on its heels with about $21 million which is pretty solid for a holdover. Meanwhile, Steven Spielberg's Bridge of Spies is looking at around $16 million and should be the kind of movie with some legs as awards season approaches. Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak is the underperformer at $13 million for the weekend. @Variety
Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension is going with a theatrical/early VOD release strategy that has some theatres up in arms as usual. @The Hollywood Reporter
Does anyone actually take Fandago movie ratings seriously? Great investigation into their shady practices regardless. @FiveThirtyEightLife
An interesting look at the economics behind making sequels and their profitability: @MovieScope
John Carpenter walked out of the courthouse a richer man as he won his case vs. Luc Besson and EuropaCorp. @Exclaim!
Alan Tudyk (one of Hollywood's most likable guys) talks Star Wars as well as his Con Man webseries which he's co-created along with his Firefly co-star Nathan Fillion: @The Hollywood Reporter
Video of the week: The title says it all: 92 Years of Disney in 92 Seconds
Number of movies watched: 15
What is it: Rob Zombie's remake of John Carpenter's slasher classic
What's good: Tyler Mane is an intimidating presence, respectful of the original
What's bad: Too long, Michael Myers is a far less interesting character despite being explored so deeply, Laurie is plain irritating
The Evil Dead (1981): Best Movie of the Week Award
What is it: Sam Raimi's low budget horror entry that put him on the map
What's good: Scarier and more tense than it should be, establishes its own successful mythology
What's bad: "Low budgetness" is inescapable on several rare occasions
What is it: Giant hillbilly Michael Myers' unscary return to Haddonfield
What's good: Firmly establishes the pain and suffering Myers has caused
What's bad: Laurie is even more irritating, complete lack of scares, ridiculous vision sequences, mind-numbing violence

What's good: Effective transition into horror/comedy, impressive gore effects
What's bad: Lacking a bit on the horror front in comparison to the original
Pondita: The Wandering Witch of the Glades (2013): Worst Movie of the Week Award
What is it: A short film that features a witch having a bunch of Halloween fun
What's good: It's a short film
What's bad: Has no point whatsoever, plain embarrassing to watch
What is it: Ash faces off against the dead one last time...
What's good: Well written comedy, Bruce Campbell is fully unleashed, well done battle sequences
What's bad: Much more comedy now than horror
The Guest (2014)
What is it: A thriller/action film with a touch of 80's charm
What's good: Dan Stevens is magnetic, satisfying winks here and there, great soundtrack

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010)
What is it: Adaptation of the first book in Jeff Kinney's series of the same name
What's good: Some good lessons, family friendly, funny on a few occasions
What's bad: Humour fails more often than not, unlikable main character
Practical Magic (1998)
What is it: An adaptation of Alice Hoffman's novel of the same name

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules (2011)
What is it: Sequel to the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid if that wasn't already obvious
What's good: Relateable and funny on occasion with the odd life lesson thrown in for the kids
What's bad: Feels like a series of barely related episodes that cram as much mayhem as possible
ParaNorman (2012)
What is it: A stop motion animation film from the studio that brought us Coraline (2009)
What's good: Rich animation and art design, talented voice cast, humour that works

Here is the full text of this week's New Statesman leader. Any suggestions for a candidate to challenge David Davis most welcome.
The New Statesman has opposed the extension of detention without charge for terror suspects to 42 days from the moment it was proposed by Gordon Brown. The argument for detaining these suspects for six weeks has never been made to our satisfaction, nor, indeed, that of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
This magazine could never endorse the candidacy of David Davis in the coming by-election in his Haltemprice and Howden constituency. Davis is a right-wing Conservative, as can be seen from his stance on a range of issues from the Human Rights Act to the death penalty. But neither do we share in the general sneering that emanated from the Westminster village following his resignation. The former shadow home secretary has succeeded in his main aim of keeping the issue of civil liberties in the public eye, and we applaud him for that.
Already, Gordon Brown has been forced to address Davis's concerns in a point-by-point riposte. There is briefing that Labour will not put up a candidate in opposition. This would be disrespectful to the people of Haltemprice and Howden, who deserve the chance to hear Labour, on the ground, making the case for 42 days.
However, it is also a good opportunity for an independent candidate to make the genuinely liberal argument against 42 days, putting up a robust defence of the universal human rights that Davis does not support.
Such a candidate would receive the full backing of the New Statesman.

Although The Night Owl is a relative newcomer, we have already made our mark on the UK soul scene and been voted Best New Venue by the Birmingham Mail readers last year. Town Hall is one of the city's most renowned and prestigious music venues, and the two venues have joined forces to work together to bring The Big Birmingham Soul Night this April.
The event, which harks back to soul nights of the 60's and 70's, will be programmed by The Night Owl and held at Birmingham Town Hall. This beautiful listed building boasts a giant wooden floor, perfect for Northern Soul and Mod style dancing, with an elegant balcony for those who would prefer to just relax and enjoy the dancing below. There will also a smaller second room of music, with its own bar and seating, record buying and selling and more.
Confirmed to head up this evening is legendary DJ Colin Curtis, who began DJing in the late 1960's at the Crystal Lake Ballroom and the infamous Golden Torch in Stoke and later Blackpool Mecca. He is often cited as being one of the most important taste-makers of black music in the UK. Colin will be playing music from his Torch days, so you can expect the Northern Soul classics that Colin broke and much more, all on original vinyl.

Is the state of the planet getting you down? You're not alone – and in fact there's an exhibition for that. Eco-Anxiety: Holding a Deep Breath showcases five artists from Australia and Japan who explore the unstable ecological future of planet Earth.
The exhibition features work from Kosuke Tsumura, Yumi Umiumare, Hiromi Tango, and Ken and Julia Yonetani. The Yonetanis are no stranger to environmentally-fuelled artworks, having chiseled out their niche with eerily glowing uranium glass sculptures. In Eco Anxiety the pair continue to explore the relationship between humans and the environment, as does Japanese-Australian textile artist Hiromi Tango.
Fashion designer Kosuke Tsumura's contribution, Final Home, plays with the boundaries of fashion and shelter with an outfit designed to be worn as a home during disasters. Butoh dancer Yumi Umiumare will be engaging audiences through her highly measured butoh movements with the aim to inspire discussion of anxiety caused by environmental issues.
The exhibition is being hosted by the Japan Foundation as part of the Big Anxiety festival, Australia's largest mental health festival.

Jeanine Pirro's Rumors and Controversy
Her reputation was helpless when her husband, Albert Pirro was accused of Federal tax evasion and sent to prison. Throughout her struggle to get the US Senate seat in New York State in 2006, she dropped page 10 of her address newspapers and stood quietly on the platform for 32 minutes. This appeared to also have influenced her odds of winning the race. It had been theorized that Jeanine Pirro has resorted to cosmetic surgery to seem young and lovely. She defended her CEO, Roger Ailes if Gretchen Carlson accused him of sexual harassment in work.In December 2016, there had been rumors that Jeanine could be substituting Megyn Kelly because the latter had attempted to violate Donald Trump's effort. Jeanine Pirro landed to a controversy when she took charge for jailing New York real estate heir Robert Durst.
There was a time when America celebrated successes together. When we came out with our kids waving our flags and teaching our children the importance of patriotism. Donald Trump is bringing America back, and it's time for the un-American haters to get on board. My #OpeningStatement

House committee votes to expel Courser, Gamrat
Detroit Free Press Lansing Bureau
LANSING — A special House committee voted 4-0 this morning to expel State Reps. Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat for misconduct and misuse of taxpayer resources after the two lawmakers were caught up in a sex and cover-up scandal.
The matter now moves to the full House of Representatives, which is anxious to have the controversy behind them, where they could take up the matter today on the fate of Courser, R-Lapeer, and Gamrat, R-Plainwell.
"I think it's clear to me through the evidence and testimony that expulsion is a proper move," said state Rep. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, the chairman of the special committee. "The disrepute the House has been brought into is without debate.This episode must be put behind us. Nether has convinced me that they can regain the public trust, and I don't believe they continue to function without that trust. And it diminishes the trust in entire body to continue to have them here."
The pair "used state resources to further a cover-up, to further their political operations and to further a cause that they seem to believe in, but they certainly don't seem to practice," said state Rep. Kurt Heise, R-Plymouth. "This is clearly a distraction that has brought us into a very dark place that we need to remove ourselves from as quickly as possible."
But Democrats passed on the vote, saying that more information was needed before they could support expulsion. They wanted two former staffers -- Ben Graham and Keith Allard -- to testify before the committee. Their goal is to find out how Speaker of the House Kevin Cotter, R-Mt. Pleasant, handled the situation surrounding the firing of the two employees.
"I'm not ready at all to report out any bills. There is more information to gather," said state Rep. Frank Liberati, D-Allen Park. "I'm just looking for a little air of legitimacy to these proceedings."
State Rep. John Chirkun, D-Roseville, even called Allard on Thursday morning and asked him if he'd be willing to testify and said the answer was yes.
McBroom retorted that the politicization of the proceedings was inappropriate and that attorneys for Allard and Graham told the committee that they would not testify. He also noted that both Gamrat and Courser had agreed with the House Business Office report that concluded they had misused taxpayer resources and were guilty of misconduct in office.
The two lawmakers, both tea party Republicans elected on a platform of Christian and family values, have admitted to misconduct in office and misuse of taxpayer resources. But they've also apologized for their actions and asked the House committee to censure rather than expel them. Only three lawmakers in state history have been expelled from office. A censure could carry the loss of committee assignments, staff and office expense allotments.
After the vote, Courser said he would not resign to avoid an expulsion vote in the full House. But Gamrat's attorney, Mike Nichols, said that resignation was still an option for Gamrat.
The scandal swirling around Courser and Gamrat had been rumored for months, but burst onto the public scene last month when audio recordings surfaced and revealed that Courser had asked his staff to send an anonymous, "false flag" e-mail that he had written, saying he was addicted to drugs and pornography, and paid for sex with men outside a Lansing bar. His staff refused to participate in the attempt to make it appear that Courser was the victim of a smear campaign and to downplay the affair he was having with Gamrat. But the e-mail still was widely sent around Lansing.
Courser, in the recordings and Facebook posts, has said he was being blackmailed and that the phony e-mails were an attempt to smoke out the person who was trying to get him to resign from office or risk having the evidence of the affair released to the public. He has released text messages he says both he and his brother have received from the supposed blackmailer.
The committee hearing, which begins at 9:30 a.m., are available to view on the House website at http://house.michigan.gov/htv.asp.


Nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway. The canonical (classic) pathway is activated by inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin(IL)-1β, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), leading to phosphorylation of inhibitor of κB kinases [IKKα, IKKβ, which are in a complex with NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO)], resulting in phosphorylation of inhibitor of κB (IκB-β), which is ubiquitinated and degraded by the proteasome releasing p65 and p50 to translocate to the nucleus, where they bind to a κB DNA recognition sequence, leading to the activation of cytokines, chemokine, and protease genes. The noncanonical pathway is activated by CD40 and lymphotoxin(LT)-β, which activate NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), resulting in activation IKKα homodimers, which phosphorylate RelB/p100, generating RelB/p50 complexes that translocate to the nucleus and switches on immune genes. IKK-β may be inhibited by several compounds (shown in the green box), but no inhibitors of the non-canonical pathway have been identified.
Mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. MAPK signaling is activated by external stimuli, such as growth factors and cellular stress, and activates a three-tiered cascade with MAPK kinase kinases (MAP3K), activating MAPK kinases (MAP2K) and finally MAPK. The major MAPK pathways involved in inflammatory diseases are ERK (extracellular regulating kinase), p38 MAPK, and JNK (c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase). Upstream kinases include TGFβ-activated kinase-1 (TAK1) and apoptosis signal-regulating kinase-1 (ASK1). Downstream pf p38 MAPK is MAPK activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2 or MK2). Several classes of inhibitor are now developed and shown in green boxes.
Phosphoinositide-3-kinase signaling pathways. PI3K is activated by extracellular signals, Including growth factors and chemokines, resulting in activation of Akt (protein kinase B), then tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)1/2, then mammalian target of rapamycin complex-1 (mTORC1), which in turn activates ribosomal S6-kinase (S6K), which reduces sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) and histone deacetylase(HDAC)2 and impairs autophagy. There is crosstalk to other signaling pathways because Akt1 activates IKKβ and mTORC1 activates JNK. Oxidative stress activates PI3K signaling though inhibition of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10) and SHIP1 (Src homology 2 domain-containing inositol 5′-phosphatase-1). AMP kinase (AMPK) inhibits mTORC1 via an effect on TSC1/2. Several classes of inhibitor (shown in green boxes) may reduce PI3K signaling.
JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Janus-activated kinases (JAK1-3, Tyk2) are activated by several extracellular stimuli and phosphorylate several signal transducer of activators of transcription (STAT) proteins, which translocate to the nucleus and activate target genes resulting in cell survival, activation of antiviral mechanisms, inflammation, and Th1 and Th2 immunity.
Spleen tyrosine kinase signaling. Syk is activated by immune receptors via phosphorylation by Lyn kinase and may activate PI3K or phospholipase Cγ, resulting in activation of immune cells, such as mast cells, B-lymphocytes, and T-lymphocytes. Syk may also be activated by integrins. Several Syk inhibitors have been identified (shown in green box).
ASK, apoptosis signal-regulatory kinase; EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; ERK, extracellular regulating kinase; IKK, inhibitor of kB kinase; JAK, Janus-activated kinase; JNK, Jun NH2-terminal kinase; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; NF-κB, nuclear factor-kappa B; PDGFR, platelet-derived growth factor receptor; PI3K, phosphoinositide-3-kinase; ROCK, Rho-associated protein kinase; RTK, receptor tyrosine kinase; Syk, spleen tyrosine kinase.

Der Superbulle räumt die Wüste auf (Originaltitel: Il figlio dello sceicco) ist ein Italienischer Film von Regisseur Bruno Corbucci aus dem Jahr 1978.

Handlung
Der ehemalige Polizist Tony Marroni lebt bei seiner Mutter, seinen Vater kennt er nicht. Er betreibt eine Tankstelle, deren Lizenz jedoch nicht verlängert wird. Derweil kommt es in einem kleinen Emirat im Persischen Golf zu einer internationalen Intrige um Ölkonzessionen, um die sich mehrere Gruppen streiten. Innerhalb der Regierung um den Scheich gibt es verschiedene Fraktionen, und schon bald werden Mordkomplotte geschmiedet. Auf der Suche nach einem möglichen Erben des Scheichs wird Marroni ausgemacht, der daraufhin im Fadenkreuz von den Attentätern der diversen Ölkonzerne gejagt wird. Die Mordversuche verlaufen jedoch erfolglos.

Produktion
Der Kriminalfilm erhielt in Deutschland keine Kinoauswertung und hatte seine Premiere auf Video. Am 22. August 1986 wurde er auf RTL Plus erstaufgeführt. Anders als durch den deutschen Titel impliziert, gehört Der Superbulle räumt die Wüste auf nicht zu Bruno Corbuccis aus elf Filmen bestehenden Reihe um den "Superbullen" Tony Marroni (im Original Nico Giraldi). Im italienischen Original spielt Tomás Milián eigentlich die Figur des Luigi Panacchioni. Angesichts des Erfolges der "Superbullen"-Reihe ließ der deutschen Videoverleih den Film in der Synchronisation entsprechend anpassen.

Für die Filmbauten war Claudio Cinini verantwortlich; die Kostüme stammen von Luciano Sagoni. Roberto Tatti war als Regieassistent tätig.

Der Film spielte in Italien 377 Millionen Lire ein.

Kritik

Im Corriere della Sera schrieb G. Gs.: "Hier haben wir eine volkstümliche Komödie für alle, angemacht mit verbalen Vulgaritäten und in sehr affektierter Art gespielt von einem geschminkten, perückeversehenen, mit römischem Akzent synchronisierten Tomas Milian. Bruno Corbuccis Regie hat keinen Rhythmus trotz reichhaltig eingesetzter Stilelemente und gelungener Aufnahmen der Wüstenlandschaft, der Moscheen und der arabischen Märkte."

The Rise Of Uber
From its humble origins in 2009 in San Francisco, Uber has gone on to take over the globe. Due to their take on convenience and competitive rates, Uber has seen some unstoppable growth over the last ten years.
As successful as they have been, it hasn't been smooth sailing. Uber often faces news coverage over regulations and workers' rights, news stories like the Uber class action lawsuit get massive media attention.
As a result of some of the negative press, some countries like Denmark and Hungary have banned uber all together. London, the home of the British black cab driver, placed a temporary ban which was only just lifted too.
The resistance against Uber comes from its unique company business model. It does not employ employees, instead, it hires self-employed contractors through its high tech systems. They are technically an internet company not a provider of transport. It does not own any cars.
Over the last ten years, however, Uber has used up nearly 11 billion dollars worth of investment. It almost defies logic that they have still managed to become one of the most investor-backed tech companies globally.
Recently they appointed a new CEO, Mr. Khosrowshahi. Under his reign, Uber has managed to reduce its losses and increase their revenue.
Ten years ago, UberCab was unheard of, but in a world of convenience, UberCab's creators knew it would not take long before the company would take off.
Allowing users to order a taxi from their phones was groundbreaking. And very soon everybody was doing it.
In October 2010, UberCab rebranded itself as Uber, in an attempt to distance itself from conventional taxi companies. This was the start of a long-running feud between the old school taxi firms and the new-age tech company that is Uber.
In December 2011, Uber underwent its first international expansion, starting with the French capital Paris. At the same time, the second round of funding for the company was headed up by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, investor giants Goldman Sachs and Menlo Ventures.
In July 2012, they unveiled their low-cost UberX service, and this is where Uber's taxis started to cost less than the rest of the competition. With a push towards low emission cars like the Prius, they start to monopolize the taxi market.
In December 2013, Uber faced its first lawsuit, a lawsuit filed against them coming from over 30,000 Uber drivers. They settled this case out of court in 2016.
In July 2014, they entered China after raising over a billion dollars in funding.
In August 2017, new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi took over the company.
In March 2018, a self-driving Uber car killed a late 40's woman in the first recorded pedestrian death from an AI-controlled car.
August 2018, the companies worth is now raised to 72 billion dollars after Toyota invests a further 500 million.
In May 2019, Uber goes public on the NY Stock exchange with an initial market cap of 75.5 Billion.
The journey Uber has made since its humble origins is an incredible one. Who would have thought that something as simple as a taxi app, could monopolize the entire taxi company across the world!
Driving Ethics: How to impress Your Uber Clients
When you're an Uber driver you know the importance of making your clients happy. Happy customers mean a 5-star rating which is very important for your driving career at Uber…

Uber vs. Taxi Cab Service

It was in 1994 that Ted Caton discovered in a drawer a letter written in 1956 by David Rogerson, one of his roommates and contacted him. We thought it a good idea to try to find other airmen that served alongside us. We searched telephone directories, placed adverts in magazines and on Channel 4's teletext helping to find old friends in the military. Initially we sought members in the RAF. The floodgates opened and we were inundated with replies to the extent that we decided form an Association open to all the Armed Servicemen and civilians of all nations who served at Fontainebleau.

Having a risk register is essential in a proactive approach to risk. Luckily, we have a step by step guide to help you manage the risks of drug and alcohol at work.
This guide is helpful to all workers across all industries, particularly those in high-risk occupations.
The first step in risk management is to identify the risks. In the case of drugs and alcohol, we identify the hazards caused by an alcohol or drug abusing employee.
Identify hazards as they crop up such as coming to work hungover or in an altered state of consciousness.
The absence of a well-defined, well communicated and legally binding workplace policy on alcohol and drug use is also a risk.
Determine the risks that come with the hazards.
Who could be harmed by the hazard?
In what situations could the hazard cause harm or loss?
Where exactly could the hazard cause harm or loss?
When could the hazard potentially cause harm or loss?
How could the hazard result in harm or loss?
A drug and alcohol abusing employee is putting not only herself or himself at risk but also your other employees and civilians.
Drug-related accidents could lead to injury or loss of life. Ultimately, it's too harmful to your workers and your business.
For every hazard identified, determine the risks and let the questions above guide you.
What existing controls do you have in place to manage the risks you've found?
It could be a drug and alcohol awareness seminar or a drug and alcohol workplace policy. Take a look at the risks you've identified — do your existing controls effectively address each one of them? Are you confident that your existing controls effectively eliminate the risk of harm or loss?
Write down the controls you have in place for each risk you identify.
This step is to put additional controls for the risks which you have addressed or if the controls you have in place for a certain risk is not sufficient to prevent harm or loss.
The most effective way to treat a risk is to eliminate it completely. You can work to minimise the risks and get them as low as reasonably practicable.
One example of treating a risk is to implement a pre employment drug testing programme in order to avoid hiring those with substance abuse problems. You also want to follow a regular randomised drug screening regime, to keep your existing staff safe.
Record proposed controls under "Treat risk." Also, record the person/s responsible for the implementation of the new controls.
Update your risk register once the proposed controls become existing controls.
Regularly monitor and review the controls you've put in place to ensure efficacy. This way, you can also identify hazards and risks that you may have missed.
If you have a drug and alcohol policy in place, regularly review it and make sure it is up-to-date to current hazards. Is your drug and alcohol policy still working as planned or will you need to revamp it?
It is highly recommended that the person conducting reviews is independent of the organisation or business.
Monitor and record the effectiveness of new controls in place.
Our Drug-Safe Team approaches complex problems with comprehensive solutions.
Our solutions include pre-employment, blanket and random testing, results analysis, policy development, educational workshops, training programs, and on-site/in-house screening.
We regularly monitor and review our clients' drug and alcohol policies and continually identify risks that crop up and suggest updates accordingly.
Our job is to make sure you can focus on running your business without worrying about drug and alcohol use among your employees.

Room for Debate | Using Quotas to Raise the Glass Ceiling
Using Quotas to Raise the Glass Ceiling
March 22, 2010 6:09 pm March 22, 2010 6:09 pm

In 2002, Norway enacted a law requiring that 40 percent of all board members at state-owned and publicly listed companies be women by 2008.
Since then, Spain and the Netherlands have passed similar laws. Now Belgium, Britain, Germany, France and Sweden are considering legislative measures involving female quotas. And although Germany is also debating such a law, Deutsche Telekom, which is based in Bonn, announced last week that it would voluntarily introduce a quota aiming to fill 30 percent of upper and middle management jobs with women by the end of 2015.
Do quotas work? Would they work in the U.S.? Does the U.S. need them?
Marit Hoel, Center for Corporate Diversity, Oslo
Amy Dittmar, University of Michigan
Peter Baldwin, author, "The Narcissism of Minor Differences"
Sharon Meers, former managing director at Goldman Sachs
Linda Hirshman, author, "Get to Work"
What Norway Learned
Marit Hoel is the director of the Center for Corporate Diversity in Oslo.
In 2002, when Norway's quota law was first introduced, the debate was heated. Supporters and opponents had equally strong arguments and predictions about what would happen if such a law was in effect.
The level of education in the boardroom rose, but there is little increase in the number of top executive women.
Opponents were concerned that faced with a quota law, international companies would leave the Oslo Stock Exchange and company boards would suffer from a loss of competence and skills.
Those who supported the law were thrilled that firms would be forced to recruit more female executives and managers who would then bring a new vitality to boardroom discussions.
Eight years later, and now that all companies, public and private, must comply with the quota law, here's what we've found. International companies are now more often represented on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Furthermore, in 2009, the Statistical Bureau showed that because of the high educational level among female members of the board, the general level of education rose in the boardrooms.
While the heads of boards have expressed satisfaction with the women they have recruited, a 2009 analysis done by my organization, the Center for Corporate Diversity, shows that so far there is little increase in the number of top executive women in quota companies. With time, that too may change.
The Norway Numbers
Amy Dittmar is an associate professor of finance at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.
Women hold only 15 percent of board seats in the U.S. Given that women make up a much larger percentage of college and professional school graduates (including M.B.A.'s), this representation seems low.
The drop in companies' value associated with quotas has more to do with levels of experience than gender itself.
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently began requiring public companies to disclose whether they consider diversity in identifying directors. Alternatively, many European countries have passed or are considering quotas.
Should the U.S. consider similar rules and if so what would be the effects? We can gain some insight into this question by examining the law change in Norway. In a recent study I did with Kenneth Ahern, also at the University of Michigan, we examined the effect of the Norwegian law on boards and firm value. We found that the women that were added to boards to comply with the law had less experience in upper management than their male counterparts and than women who were chosen before the law went into effect.
On average, the firms experienced a 2.6 percent drop in company value at the announcement of the new law and, if they had no women on their board, they experienced a 5 percent drop in value. Firms experienced further declines in value over the year that they changed their boards to comply with the law.
However, the drop in value was not because the firms put women on the board but because they put less experienced directors on the board. In particular, the lack of upper management experience had a strong negative effect on a firm's value.
Considering this evidence, the Norway experience demonstrates that there are costs to quotas. But since the value loss is due to less experience rather than sex, it raises the related question: Why are women not more prevalent in upper management?
Quotas for Politics, Not Business
Peter Baldwin is a professor of history at University of California, Los Angeles, and the author, most recently, of "The Narcissism of Minor Differences: How America and Europe are Alike."
American companies have almost twice as many women at higher levels of management than is true in Europe. That is fewer than ideal, but the trend is upward and the results achieved without quotas.
American women work in a broader array of jobs and are not as confined to a pink-collar ghetto as European women.
The percentage of American women in the work force is below only Scandinavian levels, American women earn a higher ratio of men's wages than anywhere outside of Scandinavia, and the percentage of American women who are legislators, senior officials or managers is higher than anywhere in Europe. These figures are not meant as back-patting, but to raise the question: What is the problem quotas would address?
The Scandinavians are tackling their particular problem. Although they have high female labor participation, their work forces are among the most gender-segregated ones in the developed world. Scandinavian women work in the state sector as nurses, teachers, social workers, while Scandinavian men work in the private sector.
That is not our issue in the U.S. According to figures put out by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the number of professions that occupy half of American women is twice the European Union average and thrice the Danish levels. American women work in a much broader array of jobs and are not as confined to a pink-collar ghetto as their European sisters.
But even if we had a pressing problem, would quotas be the right way to proceed? Quotas are a demand-side solution. They inflate the jobs available for a certain group, whether there is sufficient supply or not.
No doubt these are good times to be a female Norwegian manager or a female German banker. But is that the best way to move more women to the corporate pinnacle? And will it improve corporate performance to require companies to hire people they do not otherwise recruit?
It might, were the corporate world not a meritocracy. Then quotas would be like making the Catholic Church consider women as priests: tapping into a neglected talent pool. But if managerial ability is distributed gender-neutrally, is identifiable and rewarded, then corporate quotas would be like insisting that a percentage of Field's Medal winners, or Galaxy team members, be women.
The fact that almost double the percentage of Fortune 500 board members are female than is true in comparable European companies suggests that the solution we have developed in the U.S. works reasonably well. Rather than focusing on the demand side, we have a supply-side solution: ensuring that female managerial talent is available and trained, ensuring through antidiscrimination measures that the routes of recruitment and advancement are well-greased.
Now, if someone wants to talk about quotas for politics, that is a different matter. There we are woefully undersupplied with women, and the European solution would make a great deal of sense.
Throw Out Old Assumptions
Sharon Meers is a co-author of "Getting to 50/50," about working couples, and a former managing director at Goldman Sachs. She and her husband created the Partnership for Parity at Stanford Business School and the Dual-Career Initiative at Harvard University.
Quotas are one way to allocate positions of power — but they come with a lot of risk and resentment. Instead, we should put good process in the place of bad assumptions.
Employers can do a much better job holding social myths in check in the workplace.
Weeding out sex-role attitudes and assumptions is difficult. And it's especially hard to get started when many leaders don't think that there's a problem, that nothing needs to change, that the low presence of women at the top is natural — the result of female preferences, family roles and the demands of the 24/7 workplace.
But research paints a different picture: 80 percent of mothers who leave the work force would prefer to stay on the job; children do at least as well when mothers work outside the home and men are fully engaged parents; divorce risks drops 50 percent when women and men more evenly share earnings and housework.
Unfortunately, popular chatter, from the boardroom to the PTA, does not reflect these facts. We persist in our Mad Men belief that children and marriage benefit if mothers lower their sights and stop shooting for the top.
Employers can do a much better job holding social myths in check in the workplace. At one big company, senior managers met to identify the firm's future leaders. Everyone agreed that a foreign posting was key. But as they went down the list of prospects, female names were quickly crossed out. "Oh, Anne won't move. Her husband has a good job." Then, "I don't think Sarah would go to China, her kids are in grade school." When it was about to happen a third time, a senior woman asked: "How about we call Anne and Sarah and let them tell us if they'd really never move?"
At the University of Michigan, with National Science Foundation backing, tenured male professors teach their peers about the data on implicit bias, the tendency we all have to choose John's resume over Jane's even when their credentials are identical. Michigan's hiring committees, bathed in facts about how social attitudes blur vision, now have a more informed process. For the medical and science faculties, it has doubled the percentage of female hires form 15 percent to 30 percent.
Assumptions about work hours also limit women but new studies are starting to unravel them. Harvard Business Review recently published this finding from work at Boston Consulting Group: consultant teams that were forced to work fewer hours had measurably better client results. Better communication, clearer minds and a more disciplined process produced superior results. This supports what other research says: that working parents can excel at work and still eat dinner with their children.
A favorite male boss once joked with me "I've no idea how this dual-career thing works – someday, you'll have to tell me." His life was different from mine but he had a sense of humor and an open mind. When leaders are willing to educate themselves, to ask and not assume, women advance at the same rate as their male peers.
So how do we embolden more leaders to do the hard work and put good process in place? Let's turn up the volume on what the studies say is true: That co-ed leadership is good for everyone and results in better profits and no talk of quotas.
A Glass Ceiling in the House
Linda Hirshman is a retired professor of philosophy and the author of "Get to Work: A Manifesto for Women of the World." She is writing a book on the Gay Revolution.
Although the odds of anything like female quotas in the hormonally toxic U.S. business and political culture are small, the seemingly progressive European proposals, a sweet gesture and probably harmless, are way too conservative to be effective anyway.
Women need to negotiate a fairer redistribution in the home.
The Norwegian plan mandates assignment of board seats to females. The German plan rests on enhanced maternity leave and the like. Maternity leave plus quotas equals less experienced women perceived as lightweights in the boardroom.
The real glass ceiling is at home. Although exceptional women always make it against the odds, for most women, such offers are a siren song to tempt them to pick up the slack their go-getter male partners won't strap on. They need external, collective solutions to the non-negotiable issues of human reproduction and household maintenance. Day care, not months of maternity leave. Publicly provided elder care, not "family leave." In the U.S., dare I say it, national health care, not employment based health care, which usually comes from the more successful — read male — half of the team.
Such national social spending is a forced redistribution of wealth from men, who earn more money, to women, who are now doing most of the reproductive and household labor. But if women can't negotiate a fairer redistribution at home, maybe they can do it in the public square.

Nuno Espirito Santo calls on Wolves players to be more clinical in front of goal
(Image credit: Nick Potts)
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo insists his team – and in particular Fabio Silva – must be more clinical in front of goal after edging past Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.
Wanderers won 1-0 at Molineux as a superb solo goal by Adama Traore settled the third-round tie, but it might have been a more comfortable night for Nuno's side had Silva taken one of two golden opportunities that came his way.
Silva should have opened the scoring after only 12 minutes but somehow managed to head the ball over the crossbar from eight yards out following some good work down the left by Pedro Neto.

Then, early in the second half, the teenage forward missed the target with another free header, before the fit-again Leander Dendoncker was denied by Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland when he was in a good goalscoring position.
Nuno was frustrated that Silva did not take one of his chances but he was pleased with the 18-year-old's all-round play.
"Fabio did a good game but he needs chances and should do better, especially with the cross off Pedro. He needs to do better, it can not always be sorry and there is a lot of work there to be done," said the Wolves boss.
"He has to approach the situation better. When you are in the six-yard box you have to be decisive, and that will come. But I am pleased with the way he kept the shape and worked, it is not easy to lead the line up front alone. But he needs to be more clinical.
✅ Win✅ Clean sheet✅ Fourth round— Wolves (@Wolves) January 8, 2021
"He needs to think about the actions and with the talent he has it will come.
"But the whole team needs to be more decisive and clinical also when chances come. I think we played good in the first half, it was good in terms of possession of the ball and we didn't allow anything in terms of gaps in the pockets. We scored a good goal also. In the second half, not so much, but we did create a good chance with Leander.
"The boys worked very hard in the middle of the park and we played really well and kept the ball."
Traore struck after 35 minutes. The 24-year-old skipped past Eberechi Eze out wide on the right with a lovely piece of skill before shifting the ball onto his left foot and powering a shot beyond Butland from the edge of the penalty area.
The Palace goalkeeper got a hand to the ball but there was too much power on the shot for him to keep it out.

Traore was withdrawn after 69 minutes but Nuno insisted it was merely a precautionary measure.
"It was cramp and we didn't want to push him any more with the schedule as we have some very important games coming up," said the Portuguese.
A disjointed Palace team that included nine changes and saw talisman Wilfried Zaha start the tie on the bench never troubled goalkeeper John Ruddy, who was one of just two changes made by Nuno.
Visiting boss Roy Hodgson accepted his team did not do enough to get back into the match, and also revealed that defender Mamadou Sakho came off at half time due to injury.
"I thought, especially in the second-half, that we played some good football and had some good possession. But we didn't create enough concrete goal chances from that to get us back into the game."#CPFC | https://t.co/utMcYSlISB— Crystal Palace F.C. (@CPFC) January 8, 2021
"He came off because he was injured. We don't know what it is yet, we need to get him back to the training ground and have a look at it and assess it, but it was bad enough that he couldn't continue," said Hodgson.
"I don't know the extent of it but he has some sort of thigh strain, of that there is no doubt.
"In the game, there were no shots on target (for Palace) but there were plenty of balls across the six-yard box that needed to be cleared away and sometimes, I feel, they can be just as important in the analysis.
"We lost to a wonder goal, and there seems to be a few of those going in against us, but we didn't create enough chances to get back into the game."

Malaysia makes an awesome side excursion for a day or longer from the island, and like Singapore, it is an interesting blend of ethnic gatherings and religions. No place are these distinctive impacts more obvious than in the memorable city of Malacca, around 155 miles (250 kilometers) north-west of Singapore. Progressive gatherings have possessed the city through migration or triumph.

Their most obvious landmark is the A Famosa post, one of the most seasoned European structures in Asia.

Victor B. Dolliver Dies While Sleeping
Posted by: admin	in Death, obituary
The Fort Dodge Messenger: Feb. 25, 1907
The Shocking Occurrence Was Entirely Unexpected – Natural Causes
Probably Had Heart Weakness
He Had Been Ill With a Cold for About a Week, But Seemed To Be Better. Was Found in His Bed Several Hours After Death.
Quietly reposing in slumber of life, Victor Brown Dolliver passed into eternity's sleep at his residence room at the W.B. Moore home, 217 south 12th street. Death came without warning sometime Saturday night or early Sunday morning and no one knew of it until about half past five o'clock Sunday afternoon. Natural causes for death were assigned by the coroner's jury which held an inquest over the body.
The news of Mr. Dolliver's death rapidly circulated about the town and at first seemed incredible to his many friends who had seen him apparently well in health and robust in strength, but a few days before. Many of them went direct to the dwelling that was his home to see if there was not some mistake in the rumor. The facts were found to be as follows:
Discovered Hours After Death.
Mr. Dolliver had been rooming with the Moore family since last November. He took his meals at down town restaurants and was away from the city a good deal of the time looking after business matters. for this reason his habits of life were not intimately known by the family and they did not pay close attention to his coming and going. That is the reason his death was not sooner discovered.
Sunday morning before church time the door of Mr. Dolliver's room was tried and found locked. It was supposed he was still asleep and would not want to be disturbed. After 12 o'clock the door was again examined and it was thought Mr. Dolliver had gone out. He usually locked his door at night, but left it ajar when he left the house and it was commented on as unusual that he should have gone away and left his door locked. Some uneasiness was felt over the unusual proceedings, but it was dismissed as an act of forgetfulness.
Mr. Moore went to the men's meeting of the Y.M.C.A. on Sunday afternoon and returned about five o'clock. He went at once to Mr. Dolliver's room and was determined to make certain whether he was there or not Looking through the key hole he was able to see the key in the lock on the other side. He called and there was no response.
A door connected Mr. Dolliver's room with the adjoining vacant room. A large trunk was set against the door, but with the help of his son, Ezra, Mr. Moor forced the door in. They found Victor Dolliver lying in his bed like one asleep, but it was the sleep that has no waking.
Had Been Dead Ten Hours.
Doctor Evans was the first physician to reach the scene. He said Mr. Dolliver had been dead from ten to fifteen hours, judging from the condition of the body which was cold and rigid.
Coroner Lowry was summoned and a jury composed of Messrs. J.B. Hine, J.W. Campbell, and W.F. Maher was summoned. They inspected the deceased and the condition of the apartment and adjourned to meet at the court house this morning at nine o'clock.
Conditions of Body and Room.
The deceased was in night attire with the bed clothing covering him and undisturbed. His eyes were closed and countenance was composed. He lay on his right side in easy position with hands carelessly thrown across his breast. The room was orderly: shoes placed with care side by side, clothing he had taken off for the night hung up in its place. Fruit had been placed on the table and the clock with the alarm signal set at eight o'clock on the trunk near and facing the bed was ticking along, showing it had been wound the evening before.
Every circumstance indicated that painless and unexpected death had taken away life.
Had Sore Throat.
Mr. Dolliver returned from a two week's trip to Oklahoma and Texas a week ago last Saturday. He complained of having gotten a cold while away and last Tuesday he went to Doctor Ristine and said his throat was very sore. Examination by the doctor showed an inflamed condition and a gargle was prescribed. This is the last time the doctor saw him. On last Wednesday his sister Margaret Gay Dolliver came from Sioux City en route to New York and she spent the day in nursing and caring for Victor with simple, old-fashioned remedies. He said that he was better and she left for the east on Wednesday night and was in Washington today.
Ill, But Up and Around.
On account of his illness Mr. Dolliver gave up an engagement to deliver an address at Morningside college, Sioux City, on Washington's birthday and asked Reverend Fort to go in his place. He was up and around all of last week, but it was evident to his associates that he was not well and he so stated.
The Inquest.
The facts concerning the last few days of Mr. Dolliver's life as brought out at the inquest this morning shed considerable light upon the sad affair. It was shown beyond doubt that the deceased had been quite ill with a cold, but was better and in his usual jovial spirits. No foreboding of this sudden fate could have entered his mind.
Mr. Bennett stated that he had been with Mr. Dolliver for two weeks in Oklahoma and as far south as Galveston. They had splendid weather all the way but Victor said on his way back from Kansas City to Omaha that he had taken cold. Mr. Bennett had not seen his companion since their return a week ago.
Mr. J.B. Butler called at Mr. Dolliver's office in the Mason building Friday afternoon. His forehead was covered with moisture and he said he was not well.
Mark Hopkins, a barber in the Reynolds shop, shaved Mr. Dolliver Saturday night at a quarter of eleven and gave him a shampoo. Mr. Dolliver joked with him and said if he caught cold after the shampoo that was given him it would be worse for him (the barber).
Mr. A.W. Lewis said Mr. Dolliver stopped in his drug store on his way home from the barber shop Saturday night and conversed for about half an hour. He mentioned his cold and having gotten a shampoo and Mr. Lewis advised him he might add to his cold.
Mr. W.G. Moore, in whose home Mr. Dolliver lodged, stated the details of the discovery of the death substantially as told above. He said that the family were sitting in the parlor Saturday night when Mr. Dolliver came home after eleven o'clock. He heard him at the door and let him in. He thanked Mr. Moore for saving him the trouble of getting out his key in the dark. He paused on his way upstairs to say to Mrs. Moore that his cold was better and he thought he would get along all right.
Undertaker Scott embalmed the body at about nine o'clock. He judged death had taken place twelve to fifteen hours before, as the rigidity was relaxing as it does that long after death. He thought there was fatty degeneration of the heart and produced specimens of the blood as evidence, but the physicians who saw it said it was the fibers of the blood settling that gave the appearance.
Doctor Ristine had prescribed for Mr. Dolliver he said, at various times in the past and had let him have a room in his house for two years before he went to Mr. Moore's. He had prescribed a gargle for him last Tuesday. In the past the medicine he had given him was for rheumatism which he complained of often being troubled with, but never was laid up by it and he had not thought it of a serious enough character to affect the heart. He thought from the indications and information given he had died of heart failure. Such cases occasionally happen with people with weak hearts, when if there were some one at hand to administer restoratives the heart could be started to work again and the patient would not die.
Doctor Evans told of his finding Mr. Dolliver dead in bed. He could not way what he died of but was certain from the peaceful condition of the body that no unnatural cause either external or internal had been present
No post mortem was held, the coroner's jury being satisfied, and so stated that death was the result of natural causes.
Heart Was Weak.
Today several instances have been mentioned when Mr. Dolliver had told of having a weak heart and in one case he was temporarily prostrated by this ailment.
His Immediate Plans.
Ed. Thompson, manager of the Dolliver farm west of town, said this morning that Victor Dolliver had proposed to him right after his return from Oklahoma a week ago that the two go into partnership in the livestock business on the farm. He had made a similar proposal one year ago but the arrangements had not been made then. This time, whoever an agreement was reached and Mr. Thompson had taken an inventory of all the live stock now on the farm. He had been in Mr. Dolliver's office last week Tuesday, Thursday and Friday to complete the plan and the contract between them was to have been signed today (Monday).
The Funeral.
Telegrams were sent out Sunday night and today many message of condolence have been received. A message received today from Senator Dolliver and Miss Gay Dolliver say they will leave Washington today and are due here Wednesday morning at half past three o'clock. If they arrive on schedule time the funeral will probably be held on Wednesday afternoon. It cannot be stated for sure today.
Besides his brother, J.P., and sister Miss Gay, there are left a brother, Reverend R.H. Dolliver and sister, Mrs. E.R. Graham. Both live in Illinois and will probably be here very soon.
Rev. J.J. Dolliver, Victor's father died two years ago and his mother died about fifteen years ago. Both lie at rest in Oakland. It cannot be stated at this time, where the interment of Victor Dolliver will be. An expression of his wishes may be found in some of his papers.
Mr. Dolliver's father-in-law, Governor Larrabee, Mrs. Larrabee, and Frederic are in Florida and it is not known if it will be possible for them to be at the funeral. The services will be under the auspices of the Methodist church, of which deceased was a member.
Victor Dolliver's Career.
Victor Dolliver was born in Morgantown, West Virginia in March 1862 and came to Fort Dodge with his parents twenty-seven years ago, his brothers having preceded the family here by two years. He was for a time a student of the high school here and later taught school in Webster county. He received a college training at Cornell college, Mount Vernon, and later graduated as a lawyer and was admitted to the bar.
The marriage of Victor Dolliver and Miss Augusta Larrabee, eldest daughter of Governor and Mrs. Larrabee, occurred August 18, 1896 at Clermont and the couple moved to Minneapolis where Mr. Dolliver opened a law office in January 1897. The happy life that was promised was not to be fulfilled for Mrs. Dolliver died in March of 1897. She was buried in the cemetery at Clermont and her husband's life since that time has never regained its former hopes and ambitions. He pathetically said he had never rally had but one wish and that had been taken from him.
Since the death of his wife Victor Dolliver had devoted himself unselfishly to the welfare of his brothers and sisters and they are inconsolable at his loss. The little children of the family especially have felt his affectionate attentions and his heart was always warm for them.
Since Miss Gay Dolliver became dean of the women's department of Morningside college Victor has turned his attention to the welfare of that institution with all the loyalty that he had for anything his sister was interested in and last summer he made a donation of ten thousand dollars (about $231,000 today) to endow a chair in that institution.
Although Mr. Dolliver has not followed the practice of his profession he had through his excellent business judgment made a good-sized fortune by investments in land and the estate that is left is estimated at about forty thousand dollars ($924,000). He was a half owner with his brother J.P. in the Dolliver farm of about five hundred acres west of Fort Dodge and was planning to spend a larger share of his time there assisting in the management of the place.
An Orator of National Fame.
Victor Dolliver acquired a national reputation as a campaign orator and has stumped the country during most of the hot presidential and congressional campaigns of the last ten or twelve years. Over six feet in height, robust of form, with piercing voice and eloquent tongue he was a striking figure wherever he spoke.
No one would have believed that so powerful a specimen of physical manhood could have had his life ebb away, gently as the breath of a little child.
(Editor's note: Here's an article from another newspaper of the same era. Also, Victor Dolliver was mentioned in the Fort Dodge papers on other occasions.)
The Carroll Herald: March 6, 1907
Victor Dolliver Could Have Been in Congress
Washington, D.C., March 1. – Senator C.W. Fulton, of Oregon, for many years a resident of Iowa, was one of the sincere mourners when news came to Washington of the sudden death of V.B. Dolliver. He had been a close friend of Mr. Dolliver for several years.
"Vic could have gone to congress from Oregon as easily as not," said Senator Fulton. "He went out there in 1902 and captured the state by a great speaking campaign. Nothing like it was ever known by our people. He spent several weeks with us, and in 1904 went again. That time he spent a month, speaking all over the state and then liked it so well that he remained two or three months, ans we thought he was going to settle, He was urged on all hands that he could go to congress if he would live among us long enough to get a residence; but he said he had interests and attachments in Iowa, and little taste for public life, and he refused to stay. He was the best stump speaker I ever knew, and everybody in Oregon will indorse (sic) me in saying it."

The Fort Dodge Messenger: Dec. 26, 1906
Yesterday Given Up to The Observance of Christmas Day.
Good old Saint Nick, the knight of the sock, the reindeer and the big pack, reigned supreme yesterday and received his full share of homage in Fort Dodge. The day was given up to Christmas rejoicing, merrymaking, feasting and holiday celebrations all over the city.
Business was suspended, except such as had to be carried on through necessity, all over the city when the stores closed Monday night after the busiest day of the year 1906.
The Christmas sun rose radiant and the day continued throughout one of the most beautiful for the time of year that could have been wished for. Christmas gatherings, family reunions and church programs formed the main events of the day. The happenings are chronicled in part below:
At St. Mark's.
One of the prettiest trees on Christmas eve was that of St. Mark's Sunday school. Prior to the distribution of the gifts a program of recitations was given by Misses Grace Chantland, Ellen Clark, Elizabeth Wheeler, Martha Fransen, Evelyn Roper, Myrtle Drake and Katahrinee (sic) Francis. In spite of the fact that regular church is not being held the Sunday school has been suprintended (sic) very ably by Mr. Frank Griffith and the school teachers.
Dolliver's Family Reunion.
At the Senator Dolliver home a family re-union was indulged in. Miss Gay Dolliver of Sioux City was present to enjoy the festivities of the day. "Uncle Vic" rigged himself up in fur coat and flowing beard to impersonate "Saint Nick" and succeeded in scaring a year's growth out of the baby, George Prentiss Dolliver, and so confused Francis and Margaret that they were not sure of their bearings. They exhibited the same symptoms that a (shy?) colt does the first time he meets a steam roller and it took considerable assurance from the older heads before they could be brought to think that the impersonator was not a wild man who had invaded the home for the purpose of committing some terrible deed. After the youngsters had been quieted the program was carried on with merriment and the occasion made one that will linger long in the minds of those who were present to participate. The genial "Vic" succeeded in carrying out his part without destroying his borrowed plumage by fire or enacting any of the tragedies incident to the occasion. The younger member of the household has recovered from his scare but still retains an aversion to anything with long shaggy whiskers that speaks in muffled tones.
A Christmas Tree Fire.
A Christmas tree at the J.W. Amond home Christmas eve caused quite a little excitement by catching fire. No serious damage was done although the carpet was burned and Mr. Amond received a slight injury to his hand.
Remembered The Employes.
Among the most generous and most appreciated Christmas gifts were those received by the clerks of the Sturges company from their employer, Mr. L.E. Sturges. The gifts consisted of sums of money which were presented with the compliments of the season on Christmas eve.
Methodist Christmas Eve.
The surprise program of the Methodist Sunday School was one of hte most interesting and novel Christmas eve celebrations in the local churches. The church was decorated with two trees and festooned evergreen and strings of colored lights. In the centre (sic) of the choir loft was suspended a large star.
Nine classes took part in the evening's celebration. Superintendent Dr. Money called upon each one in turn to give some literary or musical feature. Here are the classes:
Senior Bible Class – Scripture reading.
J.F. Nelson's class – Piano solo, Miss Myrtle Parsons.
J.G. Early's class – Album characters.
Miss Martin's and Miss Houk's classes in primary department – Sixty children in motion song.
Young men's class, Mrs. J.G. Early, instructor – Cornet solo. Harry Sultzbaugh.
Miss Ruth Cummings' class – Duet, Misses Sauerbrunn and Gregg.
Mrs. J.F. Monk's class of boys – Recitation and chorus song.
James Sultzbaugh's class of girls – Recitation – Miss Corenlia (sic) McBurney.
Miss Jeanette Early's and Miss Phoebe Sultzbaugh's classes – Chorus of 30 little girls.
The favorite number on the program was the album given by the young men and women of Mr. Early's class. Here were shown pictures of members of the Early faily (sic – family?) in early days.
West Side M.E.
A Christmas program was held by the Sunday school classes of the West Side M.E. church Tuesday evening. A large crowd was present. A beautiful Christmas tree which held a gift for everyone present, and a fine program constituted the entertainment of the evening.
Railroad Offices Closed.
Yesterday there was not a railroad office in the city, with the exception of the Illinois Central dispatcher's office, open. The railroad men one and all were making merry. On the Great Western freights 85 and 86 and the stucco special were annulled. On the M. and (S)t. L. the wayfreights were pulled off for the day. Business on the Illinois Central did not stop because of the holiday. The switch engines were busy in the yards all day and the traffic was as large as on any other day.
At Corpus Christi and Sacred Heart Catholic churches three morning masses were said. The first ones were at five and six thirty o'clock. They ended with the usual high mass at ten thirty. Sermons appropriate to the occasion were preached by the pastors.
Bring Back Gifts.
In almost every store along the street people can be seen today bringing back gifts to exchange them for a different design or size. Especially where the articles are gifts of clothing and a misfit resulted, is this to be noticed.
Merchants Invoice.
Now that the busy Christmas season has practically closed, many of the merchants along the streets are beginning to take their yearly invoice and perparing (sic) for straightening accounts, which always comes at the close of the year.

The Fort Dodge Messenger: June 26, 1906
Shall Be Called Webster County Historical Society – Meeting July 10th.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held
Committee Appointed to Draw up Constitution and By-laws – it will be Affiliated With the State Historical Society at Des Moines.
A small, though very enthusiastic crowd of people interested in the organization of a local historical society met at the Baldwin studio last evening to discuss the feasibility of the venture. Captain H.M. Pratt acted as temporary president and chairman of the meeting and H.O. Baldwin as secretary. During the evening a motion, which all present were in favor of, towards exploiting the scheme, was passed and an organization was affected.
The early part of the evening was devoted to the discussion of the various plans as suggested by those present, a committee composed of the following members being appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws:
Mrs. Johnathan P. Dolliver, Mrs. S.C. Carpenter, Rev. R.L. Breed and Captain H.M. Pratt, who was made chairman of the committee.
Arrangements for the next meeting which will also be an open one, on the evening of July 10th, were made. The meeting will again be held at the Baldwin studios, talks, illustrated by steroptican (sic) views preceeding (sic) the enrollment of the charter members of the organization.
The name decided upon for the society is the Webster County Historical Society, and membership to it will not be confined to the city, but will be granted to any resident of the county who is interested and willing to lend his or her assistance in the interest of the society.
There are at present but eight societies in the state outside of the two state historical socities (sic). They are: Lucas and Decatur counties which were organized in 1901; Linn and Jackson counties organized in 1904; Washington and Poweshick (sic), organized in 1905; and Scott county organized about two months ago.
All these county historical societies are affiliated with the old state historical society, whose head quarters is at Iowa City. The Webster County Historical Society will also affiliate its organization with that of the state society, and will become an auxiliary member, at once, which will entitle it to one vote on all matters before the state board, and all historical publications issued by the state society.
At the close of the next meeting of the historical society five officers will be elected: A president, a vice president, a secretary, a treasurer and a curator.

President Roosevelt Visits Fort Dodge
Posted by: admin	in People, Railroad
The Fort Dodge Messenger: June 2, 1903
Nation's Chief Spend an Hour in the City and is Greeted by Thousands of enthusiastic People Who Had Come for Miles to Meet Him
Passing thru thousands of cheering people, who lined every foot of the route which he traveled, President Roosevelt made his long expected visit to Fort Dodge this morning. No man was ever given a more enthusiastic greeting than was tendered by Fort Dodge people to the nation's president. It was "Roosevelt Day" in very truth. Stores and places of business were closed. Busy machinery all over the city was at rest, and the employes (sic) of all local business enterprises were set free to greet the president and to hear his address.
President Roosevelt and party spent just one hour in Fort Dodge, but it was a busy hour. The president was kept constantly on the move to fill the program which had been arrange for him, but the route was covered successfully. The president reached Fort Dodge at 11:25. At 12:25 he waived his hat in farewell from the rear platform of his outgoing train.
The arrangements for the day were perfect, and too much credit cannot be given to the committee which had the exercises in charge. There was no hitch at any point, and even the weather, altho not all that could be desired, was acceptable. Even if it had rained, the program would have been carried out as outlined, but it was a source of gratification to all loyal Fort Dodgers that even tho the skies were gray, the president was able to carry out his visit without the down pour of rain which had been so greatly feared.
Hundreds of people crowded every point of vantage about the Illinois Central station, when the president special drawn by a great engine, decked with hundreds of flags, with Engineer James Wheeler at the throttle pulled in from Denison, where the last stop had been made. The president was greeted by the members of the reception committee, who were on the platform and went at once to his carriage. The procession started as soon as the guests had taken their places in their carriages, marhing (sic) directly thru the depot to the park, and on over the route out lined. Everywhere it passed thru dense crowds of people, who crowded against the ropes which marked off the streets included in the line of march. The president was continully (sic) doffing his silk hat in answer to the cheers for "Teddy," which rose all along the line.
All along Central Avenue the windows were crowded, and porches and every point which would command a view of the procession all thru the residence districts helds (sic) its throng of eager sight seers.
The president was driven first to the Lincoln school grounds, where the school children of the city were gathered by the hundreds to see him. The stop there was brief. In answer to the cries of welcome which arose to greet him, the president rose in his carriage, "I am very glad to have seen you," he said, "and as I have six children of my own, I take particular interest in all that pertains to you."
The president made his drive thru the residence districts of the city, unattended save by his body guard, dressed in khaki uniforms, and composed of W.T. Chantland, B.J. Price, Dan Rhodes and Frederic Larrabee.
On his return to the business portion of the city, he joined the remainder of the procession, which proceeded down Central avenue to the park where the speakers stand had been erected. President Roosevelt, and the distinguished visitors who had accompanied him, with the members of the reception committee took their seats on the platform. as the president mounted the steps he stopped for a kindly handshake and word with a veteran of the civil war, who was sitting there.
Without any delay, Senator J.P. Dolliver advanced to the edge of the platform and looking over the crowded thousands who filled the park said "My fellow citizens: it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the President of the United States."
President Roosevelt came forward, and was again forced to doff his hat in response to the enthusiastic cheers which greeted his appearance. His address was punctuated with ringing applause, as he touched upon some theme which brought an instant response from his thousands of eager listeners.
The president's address, in full, was as follows:
"Senator Dolliver and you, my fellow Americans, men and women of Iowa:
"It is a great pleasure to have the chance of saying a word of greeting to you this morning. I have come from a trip to and fro across the continent, and I want to say that of all things the thing that has struck me most in that trip is the essential unity of our people. A good American is a good American anywhere in this land. (Applause.) And, gentleman, I don't think that until one has traveled a little one get a real idea of how purely relative a matter the east and west is. I recollect in the old days when I lived in the cow country. (Applause and laughter) I had a cattle ranch myself and it was out west of here on the Little Missouri in North dakota, and at the end of one summer, one of the cow-hands came to me and said: 'Boss, I'd like my time. I'm going to spend the winter in the far east.' I said, 'That's all right. Whjat (sic) do you mean by far east, Norway or Nubia?' and he answered, 'Duluth.' I found that I had gotten into the country where Duluth represented the eastermost (sic) verge of the horizon. (Laughter.)
"But now, seriously, I cannot say what a pleasure it has been to me to go from the Atlantic to the Pacific and find everywhere men and women to whom I could appeal in the name of the same ideals and who were responsive ever to that appeal, and we owe that especially to the men who in '61, when Abraham Lincoln called, answered the call, and in greeting all our people I greet with the greatest pleasure those to whom we owe it that we now have a common country, that we now have a country thru which a president can travel to meet his countrymen. And these men, the men of '61 fought not only by what they did, not only established the union, not only left us a heritage of honor forever, the deeds they did, but they left us the memory of how these deeds were done, the memory of the spirit in which they were done. They taught us for all time the two good lessons: The lesson of appreciating what is really important in life and the lesson of brotherhood. The lesson of appreciating what is really important in life – It is not important to have an easy time, it is, however, unimportant to try to lead a life of mere pleasure. It is vitally important to see what is worth doing and then to try to do it at any cost. (Applause.) And here today, as everywhere thruout this union, as in every meeting of Americans, you, the men of the Civil War are given the place of honor, forever and always, and your deeds shall live to be told by our children's children on and on thru generation after generation as long as there shall be a country to have a recorded history on this continent. They shall be told. Why? Because in '61 and the years following, you chose not the easy places, but the places that led across the stony slopes of greatness to the goal of triumph for the age and the nation. When Lincoln called, the easy thing was not to answer the call. You did not choose the life, you did not choose the life of comfort, you did not choose the life which was easy, you did not walk silently in earth's soft places, you did not pay heed to your own material well being, on the contrary, the men of the Civil War abandoned for the time that they were in battle the hope of all material gain. The faces suffering by cold in winter nights, suffering by heat in summer days of the march, the knowledge, the practical experience of great fatigue, of hunger and thirst and the ever present chance of death in battle, death on the fever cots of the hospital, and they did all that gladly because they had in them the lofty things which go with generous souls; because they had in them the spirit that bade them distinguish between the things that are essential in life. It is unessential to have an easy time. It is vitally essential to do well your duty, to do well all things worth doing. That is the essential thing and these men had in them to see what was essential and to do the essential thing. That is one lesson they taught. The other one, the lesson of brotherhood. Brotherhood – the recognition of each man as a man, of seeing what is important in his character and disregarding the individual. To each one of you as you moved forward into the battle it made a good deal of difference whether the man on your right hand or on your left had the right stuff in him. That was the essential thing. You wanted to know that when he moved he would move the right way. That is what you wanted to know. It was absolutely of no consequence what the creed was in accordance with which he worshipped, his social position or his birth-place. You cared nothing whether he were a capitalist, or wage-earner merchant, farmer, lawyer, business man, what you wanted to know was whether when the crisis came he would stay put. (Laughter and applause.) That is what you wanted to know exactly.
"It is just so in civil life. (I wish there were more of me and I would turn all around.) I have just got one moment more now.
"I believe this country is going forward to rise to a pitch, not merely of power, but of high and true greatness, such as no other country has ever shown, because I believe that our average citizen now in peace has profited and will profit by the lessons taught in the Civil War by the men of '61, and thatwe shall apply practically the two lessons of which I have spoken. That we show show as a nation that what we seek is not mere ease, not mere comfort, not mere material well being – important tho that well being is – but that we shall try to do in our lives individually and collectively as a nation the things worth doing and to do them well and finally that we shall retlize (sic – should be realize) so far as in human power it can be realized, the brotherhood in fact as well as in name and shall continue to treat this government as it was meant to be treated by those who founded it and by those who preserved it: as a government not of license, but of liberty and by and through the law of liberty, the liberty of good government both social and govermental (sic), as a system under which, so far as finite human ability to reach us, to reach that knowledge and system, under which each man is treated, not with regard to his wealth or his possessions or occupation, or his social position, but with reference to his fundamental qualities as a man among his fellows.
"Now, I thank you all for having listened to me. I thank you men of the Grand Army: I thank my comrades of the lesser war and the men of the National Guard, for let us remember that exactly as we pay honor to the men of hte greater war, so the man Regular or Volunteer Regular or National Guardsman, who wears the uniform under the fltg (sic – should be flag), has a peculiar claim upon all Americans.
"Good-bye and Good Luck."

Vic Dolliver Gaining Fame as Corn Husker
Posted by: admin	in Farm life, People
The Fort Dodge Messenger: March 19, 1903
Proving to Washington Legislators the Falsity of Reports That he is Not an Iowa Farmer.
Victor Dolliver, during his stay in Washington is actively engaged in demonstrating the falsity of the reports which are being circulated derogatory to his fair reputation as a son of the soil. Frank J. Stillman, in one of his Washington letters has the following which will be of interest to Vic's Fort Dodge friends:
Victor Dolliver in mingling with and engaging senators and officials in conversation, occasionally drops remarks indicating that he is a farmer and actively engaged in tilling the soil. Such remarks invariable (sic) call forth humorous observations and suggestions of incredulity. At this point Dolliver reaches into his h ip pocket and produces a regulation corn husker well worn and bright, and the Cincinnatus leaving his plow story fastened upon Victor by an Oregonian, has been succeeded by the corn-husking incident.
(Editor's note: Victor Dolliver was the brother of J.P. Dolliver, an Iowa senator.)
