UM researcher's study of past planetary cooling offers warnings, strategies for today's warmup
By Mari HallNovember 19, 2018
November 19, 2018 By Missoula Current
A University of Montana researcher recently co-authored a paper that provides insight into the ways in which people in ancient Asia adapted their farming and trading practices when the climate cooled about 4,000 years ago.
Their findings offer warnings, and possible strategies, for the global warming now occurring.
Using a computer modeling program and a large ancient grain database, UM researcher Kyle Bocinsky and University of California San Diego assistant professor Jade d'Alpoim Guedes were able to show how a cooling climate affected certain crop yields in Asia from 5,000 to 1,000 years ago.
The paper, published in Science Advances, details the computer model developed by the co-authors and how it shows – for the first time – when and where staple crops were grown in Asia.
Bocinsky is a computational archaeologist who uses computer-based methods to study the past. d'Alpoim Guedes works in the Department of Anthropology and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and specializes in paleoethnobotany, which involves studying ancient plant remains to understand how human diets changed over time.
Kyle Bocinsky
Their research shows how people in high-elevation areas of the Tibetan Plateau of central and eastern Asia adapted to a cooler climate by creating trade routes, diversifying to multi-crop yields, migrating, and transitioning from agriculture to pastoralism.
"What this project is, is looking at the adaptation of farmers in a pretty extreme environment," Bocinsky said. "We started off looking at farmers on the Tibetan Plateau, so this is high-elevation agriculture. People in this region are really impacted by cold temperatures. If the growing season is too short, then their crops are not able to mature and they don't get yields."
The researchers studied the growth of six different crops, including broomcorn millet, foxtail millet, wheat, barley, buckwheat and rice.
About 3,500 years ago, foxtail millet and broomcorn would have failed about half the time in high-latitude and high-altitude areas, and farmers eventually favored wheat and barley, which can withstand colder temperatures.
"Around 4,000 years ago, there's this major shift from a warmer climate to a cooler climate and that impacts the distribution of millets, which were a crop that was actually native to the region in high-latitude and high-altitude Asia, and we see them pulling out of the diet and being replaced by wheat and barley," d'Alpoim Guedes said.
According to the paper, grains begin to appear at a number of archaeological sites where probabilities of a successful harvest are less than 50 percent, demonstrating the use of trade routes and roads, like the Silk Road.
"We focused on three different potential routes for what we've come to know as the Silk Road," Bocinsky said. "These are corridors of warmer conditions, so either around the southern flanks of the Himalayas, around the northern edge of the Tibetan Plateau or one that goes over the top of the Tibetan Plateau, so those are three sort of hypothesized routes for the Silk Road."
Upland pastoralists exchanged animal goods for grains grown by rural land farmers in southern Asia. With continual cooling in the Northern Hemisphere, many migrated south. About 1,600 years ago, dynasties moved south to farm millets, wheat and barley.
The climate may even explain why the capital of China was relocated south from Xi'an to what is now Nanjing, the paper suggests.
Jade d'Alpoim Guedes
Between 1,600 and 1,500 years ago, harvests were especially poor, and during the Sui dynasty, the Grand Canal was created to transport grain from Hangzhou in south-central China to Luoyang, Chang'an and to the northern border near Beijing.
About one in eight farmers from northern China moved to southern China during this period, and while warfare played a major role in their migration, cooling temperatures also influenced the decisions.
"What's interesting to me when I think about adaptation today, is that in the past when we had lower population levels really all over the world, migration was one of those real feasible methods of adapting," Bocinsky said. "People could move. But we don't have as much flexibility for migration anymore. You see that in the sort of geopolitical conflict that occurs when immigration happens today due to war or famine."
While ancient climate change can tell us a lot about what we should expect in the future, human practices have changed, and ancient civilizations had time to adapt to the climate. That may not be the case today, d'Alpoim Guedes said.
"What people often did was they shifted away from growing one single type of crop and they started integrating multiple different types of crops into the diet as a means of coping with this change in climate," she said. "Part of the issue today is that we're really moving pretty far away from that. We're actually moving in the opposite direction, which is a direction where agriculture is centered on a monoculture of either wheat or corn or something like that. But that is a very risky place to be in."
Climate change is also occurring at a much faster rate now, Bocinsky said.
"The changes that we're experiencing today are happening on a much shorter time scale and they're happening all over the world. Certain places are definitely being impacted more than others," he said.
Bocinsky, who is also a research associate with the Montana Climate Office, helps communicate climate change information to farmers and ranchers in Montana. He said that the information used in the research will be utilized for in-state climate assessments.
"For me, it's more interesting to have these comparative examples of the full toolkit of adaptations that people have used in the past as a way to think about potential adaptations for the future. In this case, we were able to identify a pretty broad set of strategies people used, from trade, to crop diversification to migration," Bocinsky said.
In addition, the code used to create the model is open-source and can be used by other researchers to add improvements or new data that could help run this style of reconstruction anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere.

Half Moon Young People's Theatre: inspiring young people through performing arts
Half Moon Young People's Theatre is a theatre venue and touring company offering young people the opportunity to engage with performing arts, both as a participant and audience member. A Charity Bank loan supported the purchase and development of its dedicated building in east London. Administrative Director Jackie Eley discusses the importance of ethical banking and how it helped the charity to continue extending its reach.
Key Impact
increase in footfall since Half Moon bought and refurbished its venue
young people are currently involved in Half Moon's youth theatre groups
"Half Moon's original incarnation was a radical, fringe theatre set up in 1972 to tell the stories of working class people from the area. Over the years it began to do more and more work with young people. By the 90s, the original theatre company itself had sadly folded but funding from a variety of sources enabled the youth work to continue and Half Moon Young People's Theatre became an official charity.
"Today, we are the UK's leading venue and touring company for young people. We host a season of professional plays aimed at young people, which we also tour around the UK. We run seven youth theatres, one of which specifically caters for those aged 13-25 with complex disabilities and care needs. Alongside this, we help to nurture and support emerging artists and young theatre companies.
"When an unexpected increase in our building's rent threatened our operations, we were offered the opportunity to buy. To do this we took out a loan with Charity Bank. Receiving this loan and being able to purchase our building was key to our development. Once we had the security of tenure we were able to raise an additional £1 million in funds to complete essential regeneration works, reconfiguring the interior spaces and updating the exterior. This has made the building more fit for our current purpose and has greatly increased the public appeal of the venue.
"Some of Charity Bank's investors and savers came to visit us a few years ago. We gave them a tour of the venue and told them all about what we do. It was fantastic meeting the people whose ethical banking choices had enabled us to develop and grow our reach.
"As a charity with an ethical policy, having the option to borrow from an ethical lender is really important. It not only stays within our ethos but also sends out a positive message. Being given money by Charity Bank is a seal of approval for the work you do. It helps smaller investors and donors to be confident that any money they give to you will be put to good use."

Job Opportunities in Criminal Law
Attorney Career Choices
Choosing a Practice Area
By Harrison Barnes, CEO and Founder - BCG Attorney Search
( 424 votes, average: 5 out of 5)
Criminal attorneys are one of several different types of attorneys. These lawyers work in criminal and penal law either as a district attorney (DA) or as a defense attorney. The types of cases taken on by these criminal attorneys may include everything from misdemeanors to felony crimes like homicide and drug dealing. The criminal law industry is one of the most popular law fields to go into, because it offers such a wide variety of different case types that each attorney can specialize in as they choose. Law is a very competitive industry. About 27% of all criminal attorneys are self-employed.
The formal requirements associated with becoming a criminal attorney include at least a four-year college degree, followed by three years of law school. Following the third year of law school, a written bar exam will need to be taken and passed before graduates can be licensed to practice law. The requirements associated with criminal attorney positions and their education do tend to vary at least slightly from one state to the next, so it is important to look into these requirements for your state before pursuing a degree. The competition for entrance into most prestigious law firms is quite intense, and competition for many criminal attorney jobs is just as keen because of how many students graduate from law school every year with the aim of becoming a criminal defense attorney.
The most detailed aspects of a criminal defense attorney's duties depend on his or her specialization, as well as the individual position held. All lawyers are licensed in a way that allows them to represent parties in court, but some criminal attorney jobs require more time in court than others. Criminal law and penal law are specialties of the criminal attorney, and involve a number of different fields of specialization and work, including counterfeiting, fraud, white-collar crime, drug dealing, criminal appeals, sexual harassment, money laundering, false claims, fraud, homicide and more. As a criminal attorney, you are either a defense attorney or involved with the district attorney's office. Some criminal attorney jobs are public defender jobs, which means you are paid by the state instead of by the individual client.
While a number of the duties attached to criminal attorney jobs are explored within the courtroom, there are a number of skills that must be possessed for those aspects of the job which take place outside of the courtroom, including but not limited to: interviewing witnesses and clients, conducting research, handling preparation details for the trial, and conducting depositions. Still, it is vital that all people who consider criminal attorney jobs at least be familiar with courtroom rules and courtroom strategy, because a large part of being a criminal attorney is operating inside of a courtroom.
The median annual earning for a wage or salary lawyer in 2006 was $102,470, with most within this occupation earning somewhere between $69,000 and $145,000. The median annual earning within the legal industry differs depending on what specialty you follow. Criminal attorneys made $108,100, on average, in May of 2006. The median salary for an average lawyer 9 months after graduation in 2005 was $60,000, but private practice criminal attorney jobs in the same position earned an average of $85,000. Experienced lawyers' salaries varied significantly based on the location of the position, the type of firm, and the firm's size. Self employed criminal attorneys tend to earn less than those operating within law firms.
Job Opportunities and Outlook
In 2006 alone there were more than 761,000 practicing lawyers. There are a large number of criminal attorney jobs that need to be filled on a consistent basis. Criminal law is a popular specialty for attorneys who are fresh out of college and looking for a place to build some significant practice.
<<Average job growth is projected when it comes to criminal attorney openings, but job competition is still expected to be quite keen. The number of jobs in the sector is certainly growing, but so is the number of qualified graduates coming out of law school and passing their Bar exams. As long as there are criminals, there will be criminal attorney jobs, especially for those who are industrious enough to open their own private-practice businesses.
It may be necessary for some graduates to accept positions outside of their field of interest or specialty, or sometimes accept positions for which they feel overqualified. Permanent positions in some aspects of criminal law may be difficult to find, but all in all, criminal attorney jobs should not be impossible to find, just on the competitive side to land. When it comes to working independently, criminal attorney jobs opening up in small towns and suburban areas that are expanding will be easiest to secure. There will be less competition here from large and established law firms like there would be in the larger cities.
Criminal attorney jobs range from private practice jobs to partners within a large firm, and each of these positions earns a different salary based on size of the practice and its location. Criminal attorney jobs come with a myriad of different specialties, including penal law, criminal law, defense law, working with the district attorney's office, and a great deal more. While this is an extremely competitive field to get into, it is worthwhile for those with a knack for courtroom politics and the understanding of clients needs outside of the courtroom.

Gaou Guinou was an African prince who has been claimed to be the grandfather of famed Haitian revolutionary Toussaint L'Ouverture. He may have been in the royal family of Allada as well as a member of the Fon people. He was reportedly captured and enslaved by his brother, Hussar, and his wife, Queen Aitta in 1724. According to the autobiography of L'Ouverture, Gaou Guinou was born around the year 1698 and lived to be over 105 years old.

According to Haitian oral traditions, Gaou Guinou's father, Soso, died in 1724 and left two sons to fight for the succession: Hussar and Gaou Guinou. Hussar fled to Abomey while Gaou Guinou, the younger brother, took power of Great Ardra. Hussar then allied himself with Agaja, the ruler of Dahomey, and returned to battle his brother for the throne thereafter. He was ultimately victorious, and sold Gaou Guinou into slavery after his capture.

The former king is said to have eventually arrived in today's Haiti, where he soon started a family. This family is believed to be the family of L'Ouverture. Whilst still constrained to the life of a slave, Guinou nevertheless enjoyed certain privileges within the confines of his owners' estate. This included being allocated a portion of land and the labour of five enslaved Africans to work it.

Building Your Football Index Portfolio
Short or long term? Performance or Media players? Dividends or capital appreciation? Preparing to build a portfolio on Football Index involves key decisions and a lot of research. Read on for a few tips and thoughts.
You've tested the market and started small and now it's time to move to the next step and plan and build your Football Index portfolio. With in excess of 4000 players there are choices to be made, but how do you decide and which factors influence price movements? How do you minimise risk, whilst maximising opportunities?
When building a portfolio on Football Index, there many questions to ask yourself, some of which will change over time. In a nutshell, the questions below may provide a good basis for planning your portfolio.
Short term or long term? Or combination of the two?
Diversity or more focused?
What level of risk are you comfortable with?
How much and what type of research do you enjoy?
How robust do I want my portfolio to be?
Which teams/ leagues/ countries do I have the most interest in?
Future proofing your portfolio
Short Term vs Long Term Trading
One of the key decisions facing all Football Index traders is whether to focus on short term or long term trading. First, lets consider what is meant by short and long term trading.
Bets (virtual shares) on Football Index last for three years. For the first 30 days of the bet, the shares are eligible for IPDs (In-Play dividends) where the player earns dividends for every goal, assist and clean sheet in the 30 day period. After this, players are then only eligible for the performance and media dividends.
Short term trading will mean different things to each trader, but broadly speaking we can classify this for arguments sake as being within the 30 day period, or thereabouts, as opposed to long term trading which is generally understood to mean longer than the IPD eligible period up to the three year expiry date (and beyond for career dividends).
Short Term Growth
Short term trading summary
More active style of trading
Potential for large profits in a short space of time
Mainly only suitable for lower end of the market
Fixture research is likely to be the base of research
Alternatively, media potential may offer opportunities
More suited for those able to commit time to monitoring player prices and exiting quickly
Requires significant liquidity and volatility in the market to sell at a peak
Likely to be more risky than longer term trading if events change or don't pan out as predicted
Exit points can be difficult, or impossible in some cases
Long term trading summary
More passive style of trading
Reduced potential for immediate returns
Profits are generally smaller and steady over time
Long term holds will usually iron out nay dips over time
Likely to be less risky than short term trading as long term will present numerous opportunities for exit
Great strategy for a growing market
Less dividend potential due to IPDs expiry
Risky for older players as they near retirement
When evaluating if your preferred strategy is orientated towards short term or long term strategies, as with all trading on Football Index, it's worthwhile having a portfolio which includes both. this can really help to mitigate the risks and see you through turbulent times. The recent COVID-19 lockdown for example, has seen prices fall across the market and made exiting players at the lower end of the market very difficult. Whilst this is an exceptional circumstance, we should remember this is always possible and should be factored in to your planning.
In contrast, longer term trading enables traders to ride the dip and not worry about short term market dips. Although this strategy doesn't maximise the opportunities which short term trading does in relation to Football Index announcements, promotions and matchday trading.
2. Diversity or More Focused?
Alongside short and long term trading is the question of diversity. In short, this will mean buying a range of players with various attributes to cover the main areas of Football Index trading
Capital Appreciation
Performance dividends
Media dividends
Market trends & cycles
Future developments and updates to the platform
My post on Identifying players to Buy on Football Index goes into more detail on the types of players below and their key attributes, and what to look for when carrying out your research. Whilst this list is not exhaustive and the player database is highly diverse, hopefully this will give you a solid base from which to begin and enable you to build a robust portfolio which grows with the overall market, covers trends and cyclical movements, as well as return dividends, which can be withdrawn or used to further develop your portfolio.
Key player types:
The King(s)
Performance players (dividend earners)
Media players (dividend earners)
IPD (In-Play Dividends) players
Transfers Players
In the category above called Outsiders, you may like to include players from leagues which are not currently eligible for dividends, either in anticipation of a move to an eligible league, European competition or international football qualifiers and tournaments. These players can often be picked up at a lower price, especially around times where there is a heavy focus towards dividend earners (domestic match days and dividend reviews for example).
Diversifying your portfolio will not only provide you with a robust portfolio, but also minimises any losses which can occur on a player, should they receive a serious injury, be transferred or other unfavourable circumstances.
As any trader knows, market cycles and movements can provide excellent opportunities for trading, but it's also important to protect your portfolio as much as you can through diversifying. This will also ensure your experience on Football Index is fun and enjoyable. Tracking your players to see how they are progressing and whether they will win dividends is one of the best aspects of Football Index, and although the schedules may change, if you hold players for all the purposes above, you will always have a stake in the game.
On the flip side of diversification, is the risk, but also opportunities offered by setting your portfolio up to capitalise on a specific area, or a cycle and focusing your portfolio around this. For example, trading in and out of players on match days, or concentrating a specific league, team or competition. The risks with this approach are obvious, but timed correctly, and well researched, this can prove extremely successful, enabling you to time trades much more effectively, better predict market movement and individual performances.
One example in the trader community of focusing specifically on Ligue 1 and French talent is FIGenesis on his website FI French talent.
The two strategies can also be combined, with part of your portfolio set aside to diversify and balance out the other with a view towards long term growth and stability, and the remaining part to be your main focus. The question of how this is split would likely come down to your expected returns and target growth. As with the general market on Football Index, this can be difficult to predict, but there have been many times in the past, where the market has grown vastly over a short period, and there will no doubt be similar movements in the future. At the time of writing, there is huge anticipation and excitement about new technology being introduced and a dividend review in the coming months. Therefore, setting a target can be very difficult and very much a question of risk vs reward. Are you happy to accept slower gains in return for relatively less risk? How active are you able to trade and how much time can you commit?
Taken in the extreme, there are some well known traders on Football Index with very large portfolios of 1000+ players covering all of the above and more! On the flip side, there are also some portfolios with larger holdings in only a few players. As with all aspects of Football Index, there is no right or wrong way to form your portfolio and it very much comes down to personal preference and circumstances.
3. Level of Risk
Following on from the players discussed above, we can now look a little closer at what risk is and what it represents when trading on Football Index. In short and for the most part, risk is the probability of a drop in value and it's implications. Buying any player on Football Index carries a certain level of risk, but why are some more risky than others?
When assessing risk levels, it's important to understand the possible outcomes which could cause a player to drop in price. These include, but are not limited to
A serious injury or worse
An unfavourable transfer
A drop in performance and subsequent repercussions (dropped from the team etc)
Fallout with the manager
Of course, the risk with an individual player is also based on the players character and personal circumstances and can be a two sided coin. For example, a player who has a turbulent relationship with his manager, may carry a risk of being transferred out or dropped, but on the flipside, he may also feature heavily in the media and return consistent dividends.
There is an argument on Football Index that players who are priced highly, and therefore have many traders with large stakes held in them, are less risky than those with lower prices and less money currently held in them. This debate is less clear when you factor in, the ability to sell and how this is changing with the (soon to be introduced) Order Books system and Matching Engine. A player priced highly will of course be tracked more than a lower priced player, but it's important to understand the potential for capital appreciation and price growth when weighing up the risks associated with different areas of the market.
In order for a player priced at 50p to increase by 1p, it will take approximately £300 - £450.
In contrast, in order for a player priced at £14 to increase by 1p it will take approximately £8,400 - £12,600.
The above calculations are based on a players price moving 1p for every 600 - 900 shares purchased which is generally believed to be the case for players in the current market.
This difference in the money taken to move the player and achieve growth is huge, and it could be argued that the potential for quick and sudden rises in lower priced players reduced the risk somewhat, as all it will take is a single good performance, transfer rumour or similar and profit can be made. In the opposite case of a higher priced player, there will need to be either a large amount of traders buying at the same time, or a single big trader buying one player.
To summarise, as with all areas, it's important to determine definitively which of the two contrasting players above are more 'risky' and will come down to trading styles, technique and research.
Another factor above which is important to mention is retirement of the player. The official line at the time of writing, in the Game Rules is that retired players may be removed from Football Index which can lead to concern over older players and the potential for the stake held in them to be lost.
Game Rules: Retired Players
This can massively affect the risk level of older players and make buying and selling more difficult. As any trader will know, the current dilemma for traders around Lionel Messi is a case in point. A proven dividend winner and possibly the most consistent performer, seemingly at the top of his game but undoubtedly towards the end of his career. A valid argument for holding here would be how the dividends won are spent, and if the advantages of this outweighs the risk.
In an overall sense, reducing exposure to risk is important and many traders minimise this by ensuring the steps above are taken. Another popular option for experienced traders, is withdrawing their initial deposit once their portfolio has made significant profit. This essentially means that the risk is offset by the fact that any money remaining is profit which would otherwise not have been made, so the financial impact of any large loss reduced.
4. How much and what type of research do you enjoy?
As with many trading scenarios, at the centre of decision making is research and one of the key questions new traders should be asking themselves is how much time they are willing, and able to commit to carrying out research for their portfolio. In addition, the type of research as well.
In a broad sense, player research can be directed in two ways - Football Index specific, and general football. As discussed, there are some excellent third party Football Index data providers (see Resources section) which can be a good way to understand why some players are valued so highly on Football Index and others are not. Whilst this specific research can be a good starting point and will help to understand the market movement, it's important also to research players from a general football perspective. For this, there is a large range of options available from statistics websites and apps, news and simply watching matches! Researching players from a general football perspective can have the benefit of unearthing players who are performing well, but perhaps not suited to the current performance matrix scoring system, or not playing for a large team.
For example, a player may have excellent passing statistics, but this is limited because the team does not play possession based football, or a transfer may go under the radar because he is at a smaller club and the focus is elsewhere. The general concept here is to delve deeper into the football world and not become too centred on Football Index specific data.
On the subject of statistics, it's worth addressing the question of which stats are more important? Of course, goals and assists will always be the two key stats in determining the success of an attacking player, but looking closer at the current performance matrix, it's important to note that this can, and likely will change in future.
At the time of writing the current performance matrix has been in place for the 2019/20 season, and the general consensus is that it places a large weight (points allocation) towards crossing. The debate in the trader community about this is a lengthy one, but the important thing to note here is that this may or may not change, so buying players exclusively for this carries a certain risk, whether the change may be now or in the future, or not at all. Therefore, it's important to consider which valuable parts of player's stats are perhaps undervalued and may be revised in the future. For example, tackling or multiple goals which form a crucial part of a match but are perhaps not rewarded as highly as they could be?
Of course, away from statistics, watching matches is perhaps the more enjoyable side to research for many and this should not be underestimated. Identifying a player through research and then watching him play could be beneficial to understanding why he is underpriced on Football Index and which aspects of his game are the strongest and weakest and how this is reflected in the current performance matrix.
In addition to player performance, on the media side, research can be difficult. Aside from reading daily news, it can be difficult to understand what exactly is happening inside clubs, especially in regard to transfers and player/ manager relationships. In addition, reliable news outlets and sources are often either unreliable or purely speculation based.
One option here are club fan groups and forums, which have far more detailed knowledge of players at the club and the internal relationships. As a football fan, you may well be already familiar with this and able to use this to your advantage.
6. Which teams/ leagues/ countries do I have the most interest in?
New traders to Football Index will often be football fans first and foremost. This is a great thing, and it's clear that Football Index, driven by Adam Cole is especially keen to retain this as the platform grows. The passion and knowledge base of the game within the trader community is also excellent with traders coming from a range of backgrounds. However, one of the potential pitfalls when first joining, is to buy players from the team you support or follow. Whilst this contradicts my point above about having a good knowledge of clubs, it's important to be aware that opportunities can be missed if this affects your trading strategy.
Remaining objective when assessing players can be very difficult and traders will often find themselves buying players who they would not follow otherwise. Likewise, it's important to also look deep into the market when carrying out research, as there are teams and players developing, dropping and even overperforming in every league. Finding these can be very rewarding and satisfying and prove to be a great trading strategy.
7. Future proofing your portfolio
Whilst the above should give you a broad basis for building a solid portfolio on Football Index, it's important to also mitigate against future risks, the unknown and any future developments or changes to the platform.
My post on The Risks of Buying Young Players partly addresses this in respect of young players and their development, but it's also important to remember that we are still very much in the stage of growth at Football Index itself. Whilst this is an excellent phase to be part of, it does stand to reason that there will be developments to the platform which over the long term, will be beneficial, but does require a level of flexibility with your portfolio planning and management.
In regards to trading and player selection, the points above on player types should ensure your portfolio is diverse enough to cover most eventualities and it's important to highlight that Football Index is primarily focused on dividend returns and performance on the pitch where possible, so building a portfolio around players who perform well consistently will always be a secure and lucrative strategy.

Letter to the Editor: Globe April Fools article
By April Fools, Joey Wolfe • Published April 10, 2013 • Filed under Letters to the Editor, Opinion • 0 Comments
In the Monday April 1st edition of the The Globe student newspaper there appeared several articles, written tongue-in-cheek apparently, as a traditional celebration of the faux holiday. One in particular caught my attention as being extremely offensive.
Racism is and should be offensive to all, regardless of ethnic background. I hope I am not alone in voicing my concern.
On page A6 of the edition, in an article titled "Music on the Spot: A sign of the times in 'NOW 1890s', contributing writer Derrick Gainsforth references an actual minstrel song of the 1890s "All Coons Look Alike to Me" by Ernest Hogan. If the author had done further research he might have realized this was seen as offensive even at the time of its inception. According to Wikipedia, Hogan was dogged by criticism for his contribution to the song and "regretted" it before his death.
Was it really necessary to choose a notoriously racist song to cite in the article about music of the 1890s? What is humorous about it? I suggest the humor is the same as originally intended, and that is to remind readers of exaggerated racial stereotypes.
Perhaps an apology is due?

Editor's response
Like most of our April 1 content, the humor of the NOW 1890s' story was in the contrast of eras. By today's standards, the turn of the century was a very different and backward time. The reference was not an attempt to reinforce racial stereotypes, nor do I believe it came across as such in the context it was presented.
The issue was a novice attempt at comedy through horse carriages, locusts and hoop rolling. Historical balance might be incidental in such a venture, but we at The Globe are news writers at heart.
If we were to deliberately avoid historical references to subjects which we find offensive, we would do our audience an explicit disservice. "All Coons Look Alike to Me" was a top hit of the time. I would never wish to present a scrubbed version of the past.

April Fools Article


Islander Scholars aren't necessarily the highest academic achievers. They're just good kids who define strong character.
The idea sprang from a lunchtime meal over hamburger steak and saimin at a Zippy's restaurant in 2014.
Why, wondered Alapaki Nahale-a and Andrew Aoki — community members who are deeply involved in social and civic causes — do only kids who excel academically or on achievement tests get recognized within the education system?
The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program came to mind. That's the prestigious, highly selective federal program that recognizes students who score exceptionally well on the SAT or ACT, have high GPAs and demonstrate stellar performance in extracurriculars.
"Not every kid can be that kid," Aoki, co-founder of Islander Institute, a civic enterprise focused on spreading values of Hawaii's unique culture, told Civil Beat.
Thus was born the idea for Islander Scholars, which brings together a select group of high school juniors from public and charter schools statewide for a three-day immersive experience in the foothills of west Oahu to practice and share the values of culture, community and sense of place.
Students gather around a tent at Camp Palehua during a ceremony on Sunday honoring 2018 Islander Scholars.
Open to all public high school juniors, the students are nominated by their high school principal or counselor. Though some are academic standouts with aspirations to go to college and beyond, the only "merit-based" criteria here is leadership, resilience in the face of personal challenges or serving as a role model.
Now in its third year, Islander Scholars aligns with a framework the Hawaii Department of Education has been phasing into schools since it was adopted by the Board of Education in 2015. It's called Na Hopena A'o, or HA for short.
Rooted in the values of Hawaii's indigenous culture and language, HA reflects a shift from the testing and achievement-driven focus of Common Core and No Child Left Behind to outcomes that emphasize the learning environment, collective engagement and multiculturalism through place- and project-based learning.
The DOE is approaching year three of a pilot program to weave HA into Hawaii's network of 292 schools where a large portion of the teacher population is still weathering top-down, achievement-focused outcomes. It may require a shift in mindset, but proponents believe the paradigm will ultimately benefit kids in Hawaii.
DOE Superintendent Christina Kishimoto, center, attended Sunday's ceremony at Camp Palehua.
On paper, Hawaii is signaling its intention to do just that. Hawaii's Blueprint for Public Education — attached to its state plan under the Every Student Succeeds Act, which replaced No Child Left Behind — expresses a desire to move away from a focus on standardized tests and toward more authentic assessments.
Many schools already take part in project-based learning, whether that's through river restoration cleanups or cultivating school farms, according to Worchel. Newer initiatives like the DOE's Farm to School meals program and a "Grow Our Own" initiative to groom homegrown teachers also reflect HA.
The framework is also showing up in subtle ways in the school environment, she said.
"It's a leap of faith to say, 'I'm gonna step outside this treadmill for a while and I'm going to focus on building relationships,'" Worchel said.
The latest class of Islander Scholars gathered last weekend at Camp Palehua in Kapolei to celebrate their connection to Hawaii and contributions to their community.
They were 38 students — 17- and 18-year-olds from different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds and family origins — from throughout the state. They hiked the nearby Waianae-Nanakuli mountain range, worked on plant restoration, visited the fishing village Mokauea Island and shared stories in small groups about the challenges of high school life, of being a teen.
Recognition came in the form of short tributes during a Sunday capstone luncheon attended by prior Islander Scholars from the 2016 and 2017 academies. The current participants were presented with necklaces and showered with grass lei. In a large white tent under a brilliant blue sky, they were served a buffet lunch of traditional Hawaiian dishes of kalua pig, lomi salmon, poi, chicken long rice and haupia.
The all-expenses-paid program is run by Islander Institute and Malama Learning Center. Funding comes from Kamehameha Schools, Alaska Airlines, Harold K.L. Castle Foundation, Hawaii Government Employees Association, Honuʻapo, Hawaii State Teachers Association, HEI Charitable Foundation and Na Lei Aloha Foundation.
Programming partners include HMSA Foundation, The Kohala Center and Kokua Kalihi Valley.

Students arrived Friday on the sloping campsite, after the last calendar day of the school year, not knowing each other. Many left Sunday having forged what may prove to be long-lasting friendships.
Others spoke about experiencing a sort of self-awakening when it comes to fitting into a place when they're not originally from Hawaii.
She moved to Hawaii from Michigan with family two years ago.
Miller admitted to feeling like "an outsider" when she arrived on the island. As for her puncturing that mentality: "I think it's all the person you are," she said.
Seated beside her, D'Artagnan Kunishige, of Honoka'a High and Intermediate School on the Big Island, nodded. Born and raised in Hawaii, the teen, who is of mixed Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese descent, chimed in with his take.
"In reality, they're friendly over here," he said.
Madailein Miller, 17, of Castle High School, gets a hug from camp alumnus Rene Hutchins, left, a 2018 graduate of Castle, during the ceremony.
Some may say HA helps promote a more inclusive school climate and that Islander Scholars recognizes students who practice a culture of acceptance. One of the state Board of Education's priorities for the upcoming school year is shaping policy to foster safe learning environments and reduce bullying.
As brief as the Islander Scholars Academy is, past scholars said they have remained in touch through channels like Instagram and Snapchat group chats.


In the six weeks that it's been around (that's not six weeks since launch, that's six weeks since coding started), the Pinax platform and community has grown in ways I never expected.
It is becoming clear that what was originally intended to be a demo site is a useful site in its own right, irrespective of whether you care or even know about the Pinax platform underlying it. So it will be moving over to a new site with a new identity soon.


This week's Bollywood release is not as grand as Salman Khan's Tubelight, which hit the screens last week.

Meanwhile, Hollywood film The Big Sick also releases today. The film is based on the relationship of Pakistani stand-up comedian Kumail Nanjiani and his American wife Emily Gordon. Kumail Nanjiani stars as himself and has also written the film's screenplay. The Big Sick also features Bollywood actor Anupam Kher in a pivotal role. The Big Sick opened at the Sundance Film Festival in January this year.

GOP: To Coddle or torture tradeable goods…previously known as people
It's the Cut-N-Run and Coddle-R-Torture campaign. Heckuva a referendum to put before the people. Bushattacked the Dems yesterday claiming they were the "party of cut and run." The other day SpeakerHasterthad this to say after the House passed the torture bill…
"Democrat Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and 159 of her Democrat colleagues voted today in favor of more rights for terrorists," Hastert said in a statement. "So the same terrorists who plan to harm innocent Americans and their freedom worldwide would be coddled, if we followed the Democrat plan.
Of course the recent NIE now undercuts anything Bush says on Iraq. As for the coddling of Hastert's terrorists it appears many may be, as feared, innocent people abducted and sold in the profitable shall we say terrorist-trade. From theAP today:
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Amnesty International accused Pakistan on Friday of abducting hundreds of people, alleging they have terrorist ties and holding them in secret locations or handing them to U.S. authorities for money.
Pakistan's practice of offering rewards running to thousands of dollars for unidentified terror suspects has led to illegal detentions of innocent people, said Claudio Cordone, senior director of research at Amnesty International.
"Bounty hunters — including police officers and local people — have captured individuals of different nationalities, often apparently at random, and sold them into U.S. custody," he said.
The Amnesty allegations come days after the country's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, revealed in his memoir, "In The Line of Fire," that Pakistan captured 689 al-Qaida terror suspects, and turned over 369 to Washington.
"We have earned bounties totaling millions of dollars," Musharraf said, without specifying how much was paid.
Cordone said many detainees ended up in secret locations or at the U.S. prisons, including Guantanamo Bay and Bagram, north of Kabul.
"Hundreds of people have been picked up in mass arrests, many have been sold to the U.S.A as 'terrorists' simply on the word of their captor, and hundreds have been transferred to Guantanamo Bay, Bagram Air base or secret detention centers run by the USA." he said. "The road to Guantanamo very literally starts in Pakistan," Cordone said. (emphasis mine)
This whole mess reeks of a bygone era. We are paying for people that have been abducted in another land, holding them indefinitely and doing only Bush knows what to them. The term that comes to my mind for it all is Security Slavery without the security unfortunately and regretably another future of shame to overcome.
5 thoughts on "GOP: To Coddle or torture tradeable goods…previously known as people"
.And of course Pelosi is going to find a way to get published her retort to denny the hut and the republicans that on Thursday they betrayed their oath of office to defend and protect the Constitution; became accomplices to torture, rape, and other inhumane treatment; became enablers of totalitarian rule; and failed to live up to the teachings of Jesus. Of course.
And of course, Dean and Reid and Kerry and Clinton, and Kennedy and Feingold and all the other democrats will be finding a way to get the message heard that the bushliar-criminal's failed policy of "stay the course" in Iraq has been a boon to terrorism recruitment and has made America and the world less safe, so says all of America's intelligence experts, the US military, the UN, and the entire world.
No, not "more rights for terrorists" you fucking asshole–"ANY rights for PEOPLE ACCUSED of being terrorists."
Why is that very important distinction so damn hard for everybody? Does the average America really believe that these people have already been tried and convicted, or that no innocent guy was ever grabbed by mistake?
i think the OJ trial threw out that innocent til proven guilty part.
which begat nancy grace and the acceptance of bush v gore.
janeboatler says:
This shit has been going on ever since we invaded Afghanistan, or perhaps even before that – since 9/11.
Today I'm asking myself why we are shocked by the vote yesterday? We've known what Bush and the Republican members of Congress are like for several years now. And we know that not a few Democrats are paralyzed by the deer-in-the-headlights syndrome, absolutely frightened to death of the Republicans labeling them "soft on terrorism". It was bound to happen.
Black_Sheep_One says:
Here's the deal.
Justice would be dropping Bush, Rove and Cheney in Nasiriyah, naked.

Torn began his career with the Ithaca-based jam band Zobo Funn Band in the 1970s, and rose to prominence as a member of The Everyman Band and Jan Garbarek's quartet in the mid-1980s. He has recorded six albums as a leader for the ECM, Windham Hill, CMP, and 75 Ark record labels. He has also recorded a series of CD-ROMs with looping and other ambient music and "integrated noise" materials that can be used as samples by other artists.
In 1992, Torn was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma; in his case, a life-threatening form of brain tumor. The surgery that followed left him deaf in the right ear, but didn't rob him of the ability to compose, record and play. Torn even mixes many widely available recordings himself, although according to him this requires sitting sideways to the studio speakers and "visualising the stereo aspects of sound" in his head rather than experimenting with them by ear.
In 2006, Torn's film score for Believe in Me won the Best Score-award at the Jackson Hole Film Festival and in 2003, his score for the film The Order was nominated for a Grammy Award.
In 2007, Torn released Prezens, a full-band project with Tim Berne that Jazzwise described as "a vibrating collage full of shimmering sonic shapes, a dark, urban electronic soundscape – a potent mix of jazz, free-form rock and technology that is both demanding and rewarding."
In 2013, Kaivax, a community manager for Blizzard Entertainment, announced that Torn worked on the StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm soundtrack, "adding burning leads and strange textures to the Zerg palette on several tracks."
In January 2013, Torn delivered a solo guitar performance and talk at TEDx Caltech 2013: The Brain. The presentation focused on his brain tumor diagnosis and subsequent recovery. A video of the event is available on the TEDx Caltech website.
Torn is listed as a guitarist on the 2013 David Bowie album, The Next Day. He also served as composer on the 2014 film That Awkward Moment.
Only Sky, a solo record and Torn's first ECM release since 2007's prezens, is set for release on May 5, 2015. A US Tour is planned for Spring 2015.
