The Most Dangerous Place PDF Summary
Posted on April 8, 2019 by 12min Team
A History of the United States in South Asia
America has had an interest in South Asia ever since its creation.
Has it evolved or devolved?
Srinath Raghavan tries to answer the question in:
The Most Dangerous Place.
Who Should Read "The Most Dangerous Place"? And Why?
If you want to learn more about the history of USA's involvement in South Asia – there's certainly no better place to start than Srinath Raghavan.
Be warned though: South Asia means "India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan" here; even though we can't suggest you titles, we're pretty sure that there are better books on US relations with Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives.
About Srinath Raghavan
Srinath Raghavan is a political commentator, bestselling author, and Senior Fellow at the Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi.
In addition to The Most Dangerous Place, he has also authored three books on India's security and foreign policies: War and Peace in Modern India, 1971: A Global History of the Creation of Bangladesh, and India's War.
For his work, Raghavan has received two notable prizes so far, the Infosys Prize for Social Sciences and the K. Subrahmanyam Award for Strategic Studies.
What This Book Is About in Short
The Most Dangerous Place by Srinath Raghavan is perhaps the best book one could read if he or she is interested into finding out more about the history of United States in South Asia – India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan more specifically.
At more than 400 pages, the book covers almost every event of importance – and many practically unknown in the West (and, thus, even more significant) – from 1784 to 2018, both through the eyes of South Asians and, for the first time – via thousands of pages of declassified documents – through the eyes of the highest echelons of American politicians.
And, in retrospect, these have been two pretty eventful centuries, during which American interest in South Asian countries has come a long way; particularly in relation to Afghanistan after the fall of the Soviet Empire, and, even more, in relation to India after 1947.
You'll find everything you're interested in here: from the first contacts of Americans – mainly missionaries and merchants – with South Asia to the history of the American alliance with Pakistan; from US's stakes in India's struggle for independence to the birth of Bangladesh; from the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan to
And after 379 pages of history, in the very last of the ten chapters of The Most Dangerous Place ("The New Century"), Srinath Raghavan turns to the most recent landmark events, covering everything from the effects of 9/11 and the invasion of Afghanistan to the nuclear rearming of India and Pakistan.
The final point?
America's present interests in South Asia can't be understood without a little history; and, without it, USA's decision-makers will go on making the same mistakes over and over again – as they have already done quite a few times in the past.
The Murder of Mohammad Mansour
In a way, Srinath Raghavan's final point is merely the corollary of an even more important one: the USA keeps getting South Asia wrong and tries to correct its mistakes by making new ones.
In fact, that's how the book opens, with an analysis of the expected versus the actual effects of the murder of Taliban's then-leader Akhtar Mohammad Mansour via a drone attack in Pakistan, on May 21, 2016.
When Barack Obama announced the killing at a press conference two days later, he hailed it as a victory, for two reasons: it was both the decisive "part of a strategy to bring Taliban to the negotiating table" and an attempt to "send a strong signal to Pakistan that it could no longer harbor Taliban leaders while pocketing American financial aid."
However, the assassination delivered neither of these two desired outcomes.
The Taliban quickly chose Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzad to be Mansur's successor, and, under his leadership, Taliban attacks all over Afghanistan escalated. In addition, USA's relations with Pakistan worsened, because the Pakistani government denied claims that it had been harboring Taliban leaders.
As it was revealed about a year later, this was the truth: to say the least, the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) wasn't that fascinated with Mansur, and it might have been ISI the organization which created the trail that eventually led the Americans to Mansur.
Two years later, the USA's dealing with the very same problems, if not a bit worsened:
The war in Afghanistan [has] garnered the dubious distinction of being the longest war in American history: twice as long already as the Vietnam War. Despite a heavy commitment of troops and money, drones and Special Forces, the United States still [finds] it difficult to distinguish who [is] on which side of this tangled conflict.
Three Lenses of Analysis
As stated in the "Introduction" Srinath Raghavan's The Most Dangerous Place tries to illuminate the history and evolution of America's interactions with South Asia – in addition to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives as well – through three lenses.
Power and Profit
This was the first thing which drove merchants of the young American republic to the Indian subcontinent somewhere near the end of the 18th century.
However, the interest quickly waned, since American capitalists realized that they have a continent-sized market at home, so they don't need another subcontinent for now – especially in view of the fact that, unlike theirs, this one was firmly under British control.
However, the times changed, and after the 1930s, American interest turned yet again to the Indian subcontinent; and this time – it was a bit more personal.
American businesses weren't just interested in profits and South Asia's markets anymore: they also "wanted to preserve capitalism globally in order to ensure that the United States was not forced under an autarkic path."
Consequently, financial interests were now both military and political – and it was difficult to distinguish where one of these ended, and another one began.
For example, Nehru's India disregarded America's calls for an open economy, but the USA still provided financial aid for the country "in order to ensure that it did not move into closer orbit around Moscow."
On the other hand, even though Pakistan's economy wasn't exactly thriving, the USA backed India's neighbor both politically and militarily – just in case India does move from the bloc of unaligned countries into the Eastern Bloc.
Speaking of the Cold War…
The second dimension of the USA's interests and interventions in South Asia is purely ideological.
"From the start," reminds us Srinath Raghavan, "a religious belief in divine favor and a political faith in republican liberty have shaped American ideology."
And whether we're talking about Thomas Jefferson's idea of "empire of liberty" or Barack Obama's avowal of the United States as the "indispensable nation," the idea that the USA has a "providential role in helping the spread of liberty has conditioned American engagement with the wider world."
South Asia is, of course, not an exception:
The brutality of the British conquest of India provided the background against which the United States could expound the blessings of American expansionism in the nineteenth century. Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt would invoke a similar distinction between American 'leadership' and old-world imperialism exemplified in places such as India. The US-led attempt over the past fifteen years to turn Afghanistan into a passably democratic state shows that the ideology is not merely a fig leaf for naked American power. Likewise, successive American presidents (as well as Indian leaders) over the past two decades have extolled India's success as a liberal democracy and regarded its political system as a lynchpin of the United States' strategic partnership with India.
"The third major dimension of US involvement in South Asia," writes Raghavan, "is culture, in particular, religion, race, and notions of hierarchy."
Naturally, these were the first three things the Americans noticed after arriving on the Indian subcontinent.
And as it has been demonstrated numerous times in the past, almost all of them were repelled by the primitive rituals and practices of the Hindus.
In view of them, the egalitarian notions of the Muslims seemed much more Christian, and, thus, "more comprehensible and palatable."
This shaped the American politics for much of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century: compared to the "beastly" Indians and their outdated Hindu religious views, Muslim Pakistan and Afghanistan seemed like much more suited to be allies.
The paradox?
Even though Americans – and Europeans – were appalled by the rigid social hierarchy of the Hindus, they based their judgment of South Asians on unscientific ideas of racial superiority.
And even after the Nazis "had discredited overt racism in international politics," this old hierarchical view hasn't disappeared to this day.
As Raghavan shows, it has merely been substituted with another one in "American theories of modernization" which rank societies "not explicitly on race but on a scale of 'development.'"
However, as an interesting backlash, these notions of hierarchy are continually being subverted by American intellectuals, and on a pretty familiar terrain: religion.
Namely, after the 1970s, many European and American intellectuals have started seeing values in Eastern religions leading to a sort of a South Asian cultural and religious boom which is still going on.
In fact, one could even argue that nowadays it seems much more modern to be a Hindu or a Buddhist (and practice yoga and meditation) than to be a Christian or a Muslim and go to church.
A Brief History of US Involvement in South Asia
The first American ship sailed to South Asia in 1784; back then, the flag on the vessel was still unrecognized by most of the world and the Indians who saw it first were no exception.
As we said above, the reason why the American arrived in South Asia was simple: profits. They knew everything about it through the British East India Company which ruled the subcontinent and exported large quantities of Indian produce (especially textiles and spices) to the American colonies.
However, the British East India Company was just too big to be meddled with (or fail), and for the next century and some, America wasn't that interested in South Asia.
Cultural Rekindling of US Interests
However, the interest was rekindled by the end of the 19th century, courtesy of none other than Rudyard Kipling and his very popular – and very racist – poem "White Man's Burden."
Theodore Roosevelt liked the poem so much that he grew liking the British Raj as well and called for American colonization of the Philippines.
In addition, Swami Vivekananda's "Sisters and brothers of America" speech introducing Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions of Chicago in 1893 received a standing ovation from thousands of US citizens.
There was an even bigger fascination for Mahatma Gandhi back in the US, but the partition of Pakistan from India in 1947 led to Harry Truman's arms embargo on both countries.
During the time of Nehru and the Non-Aligned Movement, the USA realized that "risks to US security from a weak and vulnerable India would be greater than the risks of a stable and influential India."
So, it provided financial and political aid until the "dangerous decade" between 1970 and 1980 when the world was on the brink of a nuclear war because of the inherent problems in the political landscape of modern South Asia.
At the end of the decade, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan opened new problems for the US, and for a while, it looked as if the world's Western superpower had lost its primacy over South Asia to the Soviet Union.
The United States got closer to Pakistan because of Afghanistan, but this threatened its relations to India.
"In the decade following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan," writes Raghavan of the effects of this, "the US' relationship with India underwent a paradoxical change. On the one hand, the tremendous expansion in American aid to Pakistan for services rendered in Afghanistan met with deep disapproval from India… On the other hand, there was a change in the bilateral relations owing primarily to India's aspirations to economic transformation at home."
Terrorism and Extremism
During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the US-funded Islamic extremist organizations such as Al-Qaeda and Taliban in the hope that this would weaken the Soviet influence.
And they did.
However, it was these very two once-allies which became USA's greatest enemies after the end of the Cold War, a quite conflict which culminated in the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the American invasion of Afghanistan.
The Rise of China
In recent years, the US interest in India and Pakistan has been mainly governed by the fears of a nuclear war between the two countries and the rise of China on the East.
As a consequence of the latter, the current Indian government led by Narendra Modi is the first one to explicitly "tilt heavily" toward America, in an attempt to mend the "power gap" opened between India and China – something which the USA has wholeheartedly embraced.
Key Lessons from "The Most Dangerous Place"
1. USA's Interest in South Asia Has Three Dimensions
2. The USA Preferred the Muslims Over the Hindus for Centuries
3. Fierce Enigmas: Americans Never Understood South Asian Nations
USA's Interest in South Asia Has Three Dimensions
According to Srinath Raghavan, USA's interests and involvements in South Asian history can be understood through three lenses: power and profit, ideology and culture.
Historically, it all began with an attempt to profit from the vast market of the Indian subcontinent: the first Americans to arrive there had been merchants.
After several attempts to change the "primitive" cultural landscape of the regions, America's foremost interest was ideological: the USA wanted to win the Cold War and India, for example, was a Non-Aligned country.
The USA Preferred the Muslims Over the Hindus for Centuries
Even though it's hard to believe this in retrospect, after their first arrival on the Indian subcontinent, the Americans were so appalled by the primitive rituals of Hinduism that they thought they'd have a much better understanding with the Muslims.
And this went on for a while until the military backing of Al-Qaeda and Taliban (as an indirect way to weaken the Soviet Union) backfired and resulted in the 9/11 attacks.
Interestingly, now Hinduism, Buddhism and other religions and practices of the subcontinent are all the rage this side of the Pacific.
Fierce Enigmas: Americans Never Understood South Asian Nations
Srinath Raghavan's main point of the book is that the USA has never completely bothered to understand South Asia, resulting in a series of costly mistakes.
In fact, the American edition of The Most Dangerous Place is much more aptly titled Fierce Enigmas, two words taken from Walt Whitman's poem "Passage" which serves as a more than worthy epigraph to the book – and a conclusion of our summary:
Passage to you, your shores, ye aged fierce enigmas!
Passage to you, to mastership of you, ye strangling problems!
You, strew'd with the wrecks of skeletons, that, living, never reach'd you.

Are you looking to be the dominant player in your niche and geography? Looking to increase profitability by 25%+ in 2015? Here's a suggestion: implement a functional reputation marketing strategy combined with a customer retention strategy. Results: repeat business from happy customers providing lots of word of mouth referrals.
Check out the three excellent customer retention strategies below for guidance. Many thanks to Emma Vas, Director of Marketing for Invenio Solutions, a full-service sales and marketing solutions company offering services designed to aid B2B organizations with lead development and revenue growth.

Acquiring new customers is a costly process. Not only are new customer acquisition costs higher than retaining current customers, but successful customer retention helps to strengthen your brand identity and business reputation.
Surprisingly, many businesses don't have a customer retention strategy. Yet, if your company is entering a new market or experiencing high initial adoption of your product, you especially need a robust customer retention strategy to prevent losing any market share to competitors.
Most sales managers believe that customer retention is merely a matter of resolving complaints or quelling current customer objections, but that's only a reactive approach. To be a truly successful, you need a proactive framework that treats current customers with as much priority as the prospects in your sales funnel.
Start by tracking your average customer retention in your sales database. (This might require you to use a standard deviation analysis to determine the average length of a customer's tenure with your business.) Then, leverage this data to contact these customers before they leave for a competitor.
For example, if you have an average customer retention rate of five years, you need to call or contact them before this five-year milestone to ensure they're still satisfied with your products or services. This outreach reinforces your relationship by letting your customers voice any concerns and possibly renew or upgrade their engagement with your business.
Conversely, if you linger in your outreach efforts, your customers eventually decide to leave because your competitors are courting them constantly with new offers and better deals.
You should also capitalize on potential cross-selling and upselling opportunities with your current customers. Not only does this mean more revenue for your business, but the more of your products and services a customer finds useful, the less likely he or she is to leave you entirely.
The science to this customer retention strategy again lies in your sales database: Start tracking how long customers stay with your business before they upgrade their service or purchase more product. Next, use this data to call your non-upgraded customers and let them know which cross-sells and upsells are popular with other users and why.
For example, your sales database shows that after 6-8 weeks of using your product or service, customers usually decide to purchase an upgrade. Using this trend in your data, contact your other, new customers after they've been with you for 10-12 weeks (to give them a little extra time) and check in on how happy they are with the product or service. In the course of your conversation, let them know which upgrades are popular with similar customers – and you might just complete a successful cross-sell or upsell.
Not all of your products or services have the same built-in value when it comes to customer retention. In other words, just because a product is your most profitable doesn't mean it will keep your customers coming back year after year. So, focus on upselling products that are the most "sticky" in terms of retention.
Determining the "stickiness" of a product or service often requires that you mine historical data and determine if those offerings actually caused customers to retain their business relationship with you. Often your most sticky offerings are the ones that involve the highest pain in switching between vendors, suppliers or products. When you upsell these offerings to each of your current customers, you retain more of their business over the long-term.
In sum, combine a customer retention strategy with business reputation marketing to yield superior results. Do you have happy clients? Produce a branded review commercial and tell the world!

SUSAN ASH STEPS DOWN AS AMERICAN KRATOM ASSOCIATION CHAIR
PHILIP FAIRBANKS
Susan Ash, of the American Kratom Association, announced shortly after a meeting in Washington, D.C., with Congressman Mark Pocan that she will be stepping down from the board of the American Kratom Association. The American Kratom Association is one of a handful of grassroots organizations that have sprung up to preserve the legality of kratom, a Southeast Asian plant closely related to coffee that is used as a supplement by thousands in the U.S. and worldwide. Congressmen Mark Pocan (D-WI) and Matt Samon (D-AZ) were the authors of the initial "Dear Colleague" letter that sparked bipartisan support from both houses of Congress and resulted in an unprecedented back down when the DEA attempted to schedule kratom.
"We're an organization founded and built on dreams who've accomplished what's next to impossible," Robin Graham, from the AKA, explained.
And accomplishing something that is literally unprecedented in history would, by its very definition, be previously impossible, so for the time being, the grassroots organization seems to be well on their way to achieving their stated goals.
AKA and other grassroots advocacy groups are quick, however, to remind of the following.
"It's all of the people coming together that made AKA what we are. it's not just about me or any one of the workers, it's about the thousands of volunteers who want their voices to be heard and we gave them that opportunity."

Just last week, Susan Ash met with Wisconsin Congressman Pocan at the Longworth House Office Building in Washington, D.C. Congressman Pocan will hopefully be appearing in an upcoming webinar from American Kratom Association.
The following is a statement from the founder of the AKA, Susan Ash.
"One of the biggest and most satisfying highlights of my life to date has been to stand shoulder to shoulder with the kratom community in the front lines of the fight to save this amazing botanical that 3-5 million responsible American adults choose to consume.
"I am a kratom consumer myself and that is why I founded the American Kratom Association (AKA). The AKA has proven itself repeatedly to be the established leader in the drive to keep kratom legal and it will continue to be. It is no exaggeration to say that, if not for the American Kratom Association and the army of grassroots activists, kratom would already be scheduled and effectively banned. By marshaling both the facts and the power of the kratom community, the AKA kept that from happening last fall and we may very well be called upon to stop those same forces a second time."

Susan went on to explain that with the exponential growth of the size and scope of the AKA and its undertaking, she felt she would be of more use continuing what she has been primarily doing up to this point, which is being a front-lines organizer and campaigner for kratom. AKA is currently in the process of transitioning to a management team and board with more experience in running large scale non-profit organizations. She will still be available to provide advice and counsel for the board while focusing on appearances, lobbying, and direct action campaigns like pickets, protests, and meetings with legislators like Congressman Pocan, who she referred to as "our champion," as far as kratom goes for his assistance in getting the ball rolling in regard to legislative support and advocacy of kratom.
The AKA are currently a tax-exempt, but not tax-deductible, non-profit.
"We lobby too much to become a tax-deductable organization which is why we went the c4 route at the federal level," Susan Ash explained.
In Susan's statement, she warns, "I think that kratom's biggest challenges are ahead of us." But is confident in success with the continued application of the formula: 'ENDLESS PRESSURE, ENDLESSLY APPLIED.'"

Un séminaire féminin ou séminaire pour jeunes femmes est un établissement d'enseignement privé pour les jeunes femmes donnant un enseignement secondaire de qualité et une formation post secondaire de type propédeutique. Ces établissements étaient populaires, surtout aux États-Unis, au  et au début du , quand les possibilités d'éducation pour les femmes étaient rares. La création de ces séminaires a joué un rôle dans la remarquable transformation du système éducatif américain dans la période 1820-1850.

En soutenant l'instruction avancée des femmes, les séminaires féminins ont participé à une tendance croissante en faveur de l'égalité des femmes avec les hommes. Certains font remonter les racines des séminaires à 1815 et considèrent qu'ils étaient au confluent de divers mouvements de libération.

Certains de ces séminaires ont progressivement évolué pour devenir des collèges universitaires qui sont des universités offrant des programmes de premier cycle universitaire conduisant à des baccalauréats universitaires (licence) au bout de quatre ans.

Histoire

Le Bethlehem Female Seminary  a été fondé en 1742 à Germantown, en Pennsylvanie. Tout d'abord séminaire féminin, il est plus tard devenu le Moravian Seminary and College for Women. Par la suite, il a fusionné avec des écoles voisines pour devenir le coeducational Moravian College (coeducational signifie mixte).

Le Girls' School of the Single Sister's House a été fondé en 1772 dans ce qui est maintenant Winston-Salem, en Caroline du Nord. Initialement créé comme une école primaire, il est devenu plus tard une « académie » (high school) et enfin un collège (université). Il est le plus ancien établissement d'enseignement féminin qui est encore un collège universitaire féminin (Salem College), et la plus ancienne institution de femmes dans le Sud des États-Unis.

Les séminaires féminins étaient un phénomène culturel à travers les États-Unis au milieu du . Ils ont succédé aux pensionnats, qui avaient offert une atmosphère plus familiale. En revanche, les séminaires étaient souvent de plus grandes institutions dirigées par des enseignants plus professionnalisés, un équivalent aux collèges universitaires réservés aux hommes. Cette parité entre l'éducation des hommes et des femmes avait été demandée par des éducateurs notables et des militants des droits des femmes, comme Emma Willard et Catharine Beecher.

Emma Willard a fondé le Troy Female Seminary en 1821, qui est considéré comme le premier établissement d'enseignement supérieur pour femmes aux États-Unis. Catharine Beecher (la sœur de Harriet Beecher Stowe) a fondé le Hartford Female Seminary en 1823, a promu l'éducation des femmes dans l'Ouest américain dans les années 1830, et en 1851 a créé l'American Women's Educational Association (Association pour l'éducation des femmes américaines). L'éducation des filles comportait plusieurs enjeux qui ont été reflétés dans le nom même de séminaire :

.

Des  séminaires et académies actifs aux États-Unis vers 1850, une bonne moitié était consacrée aux femmes, plusieurs ayant été établis par des chrétiens évangéliques. Les séminaires féminins ont contribué à l'énorme croissance de l'alphabétisation des filles ; leur taux d'alphabétisation passant de la moitié à l'égal de celui des garçons.

Plusieurs séminaires ont été convertis en établissements mixtes. Par exemple, le Green River Female Academy dans le comté de Todd au Kentucky a accepté les garçons et a changé son nom. Il est maintenant connu sous le nom d'.

Incorporating conditional random fields and active learning to improve sentiment identification.
Many machine learning, statistical, and computational linguistic methods have been developed to identify sentiment of sentences in documents, yielding promising results. However, most of state-of-the-art methods focus on individual sentences and ignore the impact of context on the meaning of a sentence. In this paper, we propose a method based on conditional random fields to incorporate sentence structure and context information in addition to syntactic information for improving sentiment identification. We also investigate how human interaction affects the accuracy of sentiment labeling using limited training data. We propose and evaluate two different active learning strategies for labeling sentiment data. Our experiments with the proposed approach demonstrate a 5%-15% improvement in accuracy on Amazon customer reviews compared to existing supervised learning and rule-based methods.

Martinez Music Legacy: 311's SA Martinez takes music tradition laid down by father and grandfather in new direction
December 19, 2011 leoadambiga 6 comments
Once in a while, and not nearly often enough, an editor or publisher will approach me with a story idea instead of the other way around. In the case of this story The Reader and El Perico publisher John Heaston asked me to write about the music legacy of an Omaha Latino family – all three generations worth. The star of the story is SA Martinez of 311 rock band fame. SA is a rapper and turntable artist. His father Ernie is a jazz guitarist. And Ernie's later father Jose Bonificia was a jack of all instruments way back in the day. It's a short, simple, feel-good story with some meaty heritage attached to it.
SA Martinez of 311
Originally appeared in The Reader (www.thereader.com) and El Perico
Singer-songwriter-turntable artist SA Martinez is a cog in the successful rock band 311 that started in Omaha 21 years ago and is still going strong today from its Southern Calif.-base. Recordings and national tours keep the group, whose founding members remain intact, a popular draw.
While he's reached musical heights, SA is not the first professional musician in his family. His father Ernie Martinez and late paternal grandfather Jose Martinez preceded him. SA feels part of "a legacy" that extends to his musical siblings.
"We always loved music. We all did it, sang it, performed, whatever…just always had nothing but great times with music. It was just a constant," says Martinez.
He has only "vague memories" of his grandfather, but he does have his old mandolin as a link to the man and the music.
"I'll look at the mandolin and wonder just exactly how he came into possession of it and what songs was he playing on this thing."
Sure, SA's, a rock star, but his elders made their marks on their own terms.
Jose Bonificia Martinez emigrated from Mexico to the U.S. in the early 1900s. He worked as a water boy on the railroad in Texas before migrating to Gary, Indiana, where he landed in the steel mills. In Sioux City, Iowa, he worked in a packing house and played music on weekends. Ernie marvels that his father learned to play the mandolin, fiddle, upright bass and guitar. Jose met his wife Helen, Ernie's mother, in Sioux City.
After moving to Omaha in 1930, Jose worked the slaughter house kill floor and played in a band that performed South Omaha house parties.
"I remember him telling me they'd cross the river into Council Bluffs to play festivals in the Hispanic section," recalls Ernie, who was born in Omaha.
Tired of the dirty, dangerous, backbreaking kill floor, Jose became a hired hand for a livestock producer in Gibbon, Neb., where Ernie and his siblings grew up. Jose found a measure of fame fronting his own band, The Kid and His Friends, on a live show broadcast by KGFW radio in Kearney, Neb. and sponsored by a feed store. The signal reached deep into the Platte Valley, bringing the band new gigs at festivals and fairs.
By the early 1950s Ernie began gravitating to music himself. "I listened to a radio broadcast out of New Orleans coming from the Roosevelt Hotel every Friday night — Tony Almerico and his (Original Dixieland Jamboree All Stars) band."

Ernie learned to play "off the radio" — "I'd get the note from the first chord they played and I'd go from there. Somehow my dad had acquired an upright bass from a traveling salesman and he built me a little stool and I'd jump up on that stool and start messing around with my fingers, thumping away. Then he'd take me down, put the bass away and he'd show me a few chords on the guitar."
Fast forward three decades later and Ernie, by then a journeyman jazz guitarist with local house bands, was schooling SA.
"We'd sit down on occasion and he'd try to teach me something, but he didn't honestly have any patience when it came to instructing on an instrument," says SA. "I remember setting his stuff up in the basement and kind of tooling around on it and just having fun."
SA grew up steeped in his father's sideman life.
"Come the weekend he was getting ready to go play somewhere. I just remember that whole era of the '70s — the polyester suits, the jewelry, the cologne. Before he'd go out he'd pat my face with some cologne."
He came to respect his old man's chops.
"My dad played bass growing up but he's really a better guitarist and the style of guitar he plays is very wide actually. He can play like the Wes Montgomery, really dope jazz chords. cool and rich sounding, and then he can bust into some cool folk Mexican stuff. He definitely has a pretty deep memory.
"He had a couple buddies who'd come over from time to time. Johnny Vintore played keyboards. Another guy by the name of Charlie Davis played trombone. Just really cool dudes with loads of talent. They had their good times. It's really cool thinking back on that whole scene."
Ernie, who worked a regular job at a truck line, gigged at night spots when Omaha was still a hopping live music hub.
SA never saw his dad on stage, but often witnessed him practice or jam at home. He also absorbed the jazz tunes his pops spun, instilling an appreciation for the standards. Together, they "listened religiously" to KVNO radio's Primetime Jazz hosted by Bill Watts
"Man, that was a killer show and he played like the bomb jazz," recalls SA. "We loved listening to that show."
Immersed in music at home and at school, where he played viola and trumpet and sang, SA was destined for a life in music. "It's weird, I always kind of knew in the back of my mind something like that would surface for me, I just didn't know when or how." 311 took off in the '90s here at the Ranch Bowl and the Peony Park Ballroom. He ascribes the group's unusual longevity to "chemistry" and "just hard work."
"It really is an experience I'm blessed to be a part of. It's a never ending rock 'n' roll fantasy."
Last July, 311 had its first homecoming show in a long time when it played the Red Sky Music Festival at TD Ameritrade Park. SA says entertaining family and friends after a show like that is more draining then the concert itself. "But it's a lot of fun."
His parents return the favor by visiting him on the coast, where father and son always find time to play a few licks. SA invariably breaks out the old bass his dad owned.
SA's daughter shows signs of continuing this unbroken line of Martinez music makers. "She loves it. She lights up," SA says. Ernie's proud it's lasted four generations, saying, "It amazes me what my dad started."

Listeria Outbreak Linked to Deli Meats, Cheeses in 4 States
THURSDAY, April 18, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- A listeria outbreak that has sickened eight, including one death, has now been linked to deli meats and cheeses sold at stores in four states, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.
The illnesses in the outbreak, which first began more than two years ago, have been reported in Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. All eight people were hospitalized, including a patient in Michigan who died, the CDC said in a news release.
"Infection with listeria is an important public health problem in the U.S.," said Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency medicine doctor at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
"In general, the disease mainly affects older persons, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems," Glatter added. "Pregnant women are also at risk and could suffer stillbirths and miscarriages. Pregnant women are about 10 times more likely than the general population to develop an infection with listeria."
But he noted that people who are otherwise healthy rarely get sick from the bacteria.
The outbreak strain of listeria was detected in samples taken from meat sliced at a deli and from deli counters in multiple stores. A single, common supplier of deli products linked with the outbreak has not yet been identified, the CDC said.
In the outbreak, two cases of illness were reported in early 2019, and the other six were reported between November 2016 and February 2018.
An initial investigation of three cases of illness in March 2017 did not yield enough information to pinpoint the source of the outbreak, the CDC explained.
The link between the outbreak and deli-sliced products was made with information from the two more recent cases, the agency said.
At this time, the CDC is not advising consumers to avoid eating products prepared at delis, or for stores to stop selling deli-sliced products.
But consumers should clean refrigerators, kitchen countertops, utensils and other surfaces that come into contact with deli-sliced products, the agency said.
Symptoms of listeria infection include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches. Symptoms typically begin one to four weeks after eating contaminated food. Antibiotics are used to treat the infection.
Pregnant women and their newborns, adults aged 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to get sick with listeria infection, the CDC said.
These groups of people should not eat lunch meats, cold cuts or other deli meats unless they are heated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit or until they are steaming hot just before serving.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration explains how to keep listeria out of your kitchen.

Fort Worth: Do Copier Dealers Matter?
Selecting a copier in Fort Worth is an involved process, especially if you are investing a considerable amount of money in the unit. In addition to deciding on your price range, you will also be confronted with issues related to per-click costs, consumable items, service plans, maintenance and more. There is another aspect of making the purchase decision that you could easily overlook: Who is your copier dealer?
There are several dealers to choose from in the Fort Worth area. We hope that your business will benefit from selecting a copier dealer who will provide a high level of technical expertise at a reasonable cost. Some dealers specialize in providing excellent maintenance service to customers. Other dealers focus on prompt response time and issues of network management.
The size of your business will affect your dealer's ability to service your copier in Fort Worth. If you are a small company with only one copier, even a great bargain from a large company copier dealer might not appropriately serve your small business's unique needs.

Colorado may be known for its skiing, but its numerous hot springs are a draw for many. Here are seven of our favorite Colorado hot springs.
The Springs Resort and Spa in Pagosa Springs, Colorado is a well-known and beautifully developed facility that makes the town a draw for tourists, even though Pagosa Springs is somewhat off the beaten path. Pools cascade down from the spring to the San Juan river below, and this setup has enabled some cool waterfall features and the ability to control the water temperature of different pools. The "Lobster Pot" averages around 113°F, though most people hang out in the cooler pools. Some pools are accessed across wood plank bridges that dip just under the warm water at ankle height. Any spring in Pagosa Springs is quite sulfurous, so you can expect any silver jewelry to turn a dark, matte black if you soak long enough. Luxury lodging is available, as well as full spa services and massage.
The Overlook Hot Springs is the little-known and less expensive Pagosa alternative that offers a soak experience contrasting the larger resort. The Overlook facility is just across the San Juan River from the larger Springs Resort and Spa listed above, and indeed overlooks the river to the other establishment. Roof top pools are great for sunbathing, but the coolest part of the Overlook Hot Springs is the lower level. A 1920's style bath replete with a chandelier has been nicely reconstructed. It's a unique experience that could take you back in time if you let your mind wander.

Security guard killed during overnight robbery
Shreveport Times-Oct 17, 2015
Shreveport Police detectives are searching for the person responsible for the deadly armed robbery of a local business Friday night in west
Shreveport Police detectives are searching for the person responsible for the deadly armed robbery of a local business Friday night in west Shreveport.
Just after 10 p.m., Shreveport Police patrol officers were called to the Thrifty Liquor store located in the 8400 block of Linwood Avenue in response to an armed robbery where a man had reportedly been shot.
As officers responded to the scene, it was learned a person armed with a handgun allegedly entered the business and confronted an armed security officer working inside the store, said SPD spokesman Cpl. Marcus Hines. During the encounter, the robber fired a round from his weapon which struck the security officer, identified as Michael Wayne Henry, 56, of Shreveport.
Henry was struck once in the upper body during the encounter, Hines said. The shooter then robbed the business of an undisclosed amount of cash and fled from the store running south-bound, and is believed to have gotten into a silver or gray Lincoln Town Car with black roof, HInes said.
Henry was taken to University Health, where he later died of his injuries. The shooter was described as a black male wearing a dark-hooded sweatshirt and distinctive pink gloves. Authorities have reason to suspect the man is also responsible for other armed robberies where the suspect was similarly described, Hines said.
SPD investigators are working to identify and appended the person responsible for this crime and are reviewing surveillance video captured from the business. Persons with any information about the crime are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at (318) 673-7373 or visit their website at www.lockemup.org. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 dollars for information leading to the arrest of the suspect.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pmedr.2021.101673
Date of last literature search:
Vaccine hesitancy is a challenge for the success and optimal implementation of COVID-19 immunization programs in the US. The objective of this study was to summarize multilevel determinants of COVID-19 vaccination intention in the US to inform future intervention opportunities. To this end, we conducted a rapid systematic review by searching published articles via PubMed published by October 5, 2021, following the PRISMA guidelines. One hundred and six articles were included. According to nationally representative studies, the overall COVID-19 acceptance rate ranges from 53.6% to 84.4%. Individual (demographics, health history, behaviors and health beliefs), interpersonal (having a close friend/family member impacted by COVID-19), healthcare and societal level factors (healthcare provider recommendations, source/credential of COVID-19 related information, and COVID-19 related conspiracy theories) all contributed to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the US. This study demonstrates that the acceptance to COVID-19 vaccines is influenced by various factors, particularly the role of healthcare providers in enhancing public intent to vaccination. Potential interventions to mitigate people's concerns over the vaccines and address vaccine-related conspiracy/misinformation from social media are also critical to encourage vaccine uptake in the US.

I'm paraphrasing a recent Slashdot comment that really stuck a chord with me and galvanized some thoughts I've been having for a while.
We have the technology and resources so that people don't need to work as much as they do, but instead we choose to continue with this outdated concept of "40 hours a week for everyone". So, what do you do with all these people? Well, you make them spend exorbitant amounts of time in meetings generating data and reports to make them look productive. We are squandering the most glorious time in history in terms of energy resources, technology and machinery in order to maintain an out of date social construct.
So many are productive in today's world, but doing what?
What are we producing and for who?
What bennefit do these products provide?
We should work and consume less and spend more time being creative.

Diencephalic syndrome (DES) is an extremely uncommon occurrence, and approximately 100 cases have been reported. It presents as a failure to thrive in infants and children but rarely occurs in adult population. The characteristic clinical features of DES include severely emaciated body, normal linear growth and normal or precocious intellectual development, hyperalertness, hyperkinesis, and euphoria usually associated with intracranial sellar–suprasellar mass lesion, usually optico-chiasmatic glioma or hypothalamic mass. DES as a presentation of craniopharyngioma is extremely uncommon but can also occur with brain stem mass. Detailed PubMed and MEDLINE search for craniopharyngioma associated with DES yielded only six cases in children below 6 years of age. Thus, we reviewed a total of seven cases including previously published six cases and added additional our own case. Overall, the mean age at diagnosis was 4.15 years with male:female ratio of 4:3, the mean time interval between symptom of DES appearance and final diagnosis was 6.6 months. The most commonly observed symptom of DES was weight loss (85%). The clinical feature, imaging, and management of such rare syndrome along with pertinent literature are briefly reviewed.

As the death toll reaches 164, we look back at how it happened, and what lessons the industry needs to learn going forward.
Last month, the people of Tianjin, China succumbed to a number of large explosions in the one of the world's busiest ports. The chemical blasts began in a warehouse owned and operated by Ruihai International Logistics. The explosions continued for over 72 hours – causing large fires, destruction to neighbouring buildings, homes and a tragic loss of life.
The emergency response team of fire fighters who arrived at the scene first were not made aware or did not have access to the critical information of what hazardous materials were being stored on the blast site. Without knowing, the fire fighters accelerated the blaze by spraying water on the chemical fire that was comprised of large amounts of calcium carbide – a hygroscopic that when mixed with water emits flammable gases (acetylene).
This hazardous atmosphere gave rise to secondary explosions on site.
It is widely reported the warehouse was holding large amounts of sodium cyanide, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate and calcium carbide. Each chemical is extremely hazardous in its own right when transported, stored or dispensed in an unsafe manner.
Sodium cyanide running off into groundwater systems and the nearby estuary in the port not only poses a risk to public health but it also threatens biodiversity in aquatic environments. We also explained to Gautam Naik, reporter at the Wall Street Journal that having such a deadly chemical in the atmosphere could have prolonged consequences. If winds disperse the plume, its effects could be felt over a wider area. A lack of wind on the other hand would mean the toxic plume would be present in the local atmosphere for a longer period of time.
One month on from the blasts, the Chinese government has issued an emergency notice, ordering a nationwide examination of dangerous chemicals and explosives.
And although it appears there is a push to crackdown on illegal activities involving the transport, distribution and improper storage of hazardous materials, it remains to be seen whether industrial organisations will learn the hard lessons from this disaster.
Only time will reveal the long-term health effects that the people of Tianjin have been exposed to. Now it's more important than ever to reinforce the controlling of major accident hazards for industrial organisations as a top priority.
Compliance with governing directives such as the Seveso III Directive is imperative to minimise the risk surrounding the use, handling, transport and storage of hazardous materials. If you have any duties under the Control of Major Accident Hazards, we recommend you read the 2015 regulations.

Precedens (z  – poprzedzający) – wyrok sądowy mogący wpływać na treść orzeczeń wydawanych w sprawach późniejszych.

De facto i de iure
Precedensy zwykło się dzielić na:
 de facto – wpływające na treść przyszłych decyzji sądowych w sposób faktyczny, tj. można odnotować ich rzeczywiste oddziaływanie na sposób interpretacji i stosowania prawa w sprawach, które miały miejsce po rozstrzygnięciu sprawy precedensowej;
 de iure – oprócz faktycznego wpływu cechuje je ponadto przymiot prawnego związania; oznacza to, że sąd orzekający w sprawach późniejszych ma prawny obowiązek przestrzegania wyroków sądowych wydanych w sprawach poprzednich.

Obowiązek wynika z zasady stare decisis, zgodnie z którą sprawy raz już w pewien sposób rozstrzygnięte, nie powinny być rozstrzygane inaczej w przyszłości.

Występowanie precedensów de facto przypisuje się kontynentalnym systemom prawnym (civil law), natomiast precedensów de iure systemom prawnym common law, a więc przede wszystkim Wielkiej Brytanii i Stanom Zjednoczonym.

Kultura anglosaska
W krajach kultury anglosaskiej (głównie Wielka Brytania i Stany Zjednoczone) precedensy stanowią nadal obok prawa ustawowego (statutowego) podstawowe źródło prawa. Dotyczy to w szczególności zaarówno tradycyjnych gałęzi prawa cywilnego, jak prawo kontraktów i deliktów, jak i dziedzin prawa karnego. Ponadto mianem precedensów określane są również wyroki interpretujące postanowienia ustaw i innych aktów prawa stanowionego. Z tym jednak zastrzeżeniem, że o ile wyroki interpretujące ustawy są ściśle wiążące w sprawach późniejszych, o tyle sądowa interpretacja postanowień konstytucji (stanowych i federalnej) nie stanowi już dużej przeszkody do przyjęcia odmiennych rozwiązań w przyszłości.

Z reguły pod pojęciem anglosaskiego precedensu kryje się jego ratio decidendi, a więc reguła precedensu (tzw. rule-model precedensu). Możliwe są jednak inne alternatywne ujęcia jego istoty, jak choćby model z zasad, model rezultatu, model z analogii czy nawet bardziej rozbudowane teorie, jak teoria Ronalda Dworkina. Przy czym zwykło się przyjmować, że rule-model jest bardziej typowy dla Wielkiej Brytanii, a model z analogii dla Stanów Zjednoczonych.

Polska
W polskim porządku prawnym oprócz zasad prawnych Sądu Najwyższego, uchwał Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego, oraz wyroków interpretacyjnych Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, może być mowa jedynie o precedensach de facto. Z tym jednak zastrzeżeniem, że używanie słowa precedens poza anglosaskim porządkiem prawnym jest zawsze narażone na możliwość spowodowania błędnego wrażenia co do tożsamości systemów common i civil law, które faktycznie różnią się znacznie bardziej niż tylko wiążącym lub niewiążącym charakterem zapadających w nich orzeczeń sądowych. Również nazwa prawa precedensowego dotyczy wyłącznie anglosaskiego porządku prawnego i nie może być używana w kontekście prawa civil law.

Znaczenia potoczne
Nie należy mylić precedensu z wyrokiem sądowym w sprawie, dla której nie wydano jeszcze wcześniejszego orzeczenia; takie potoczne skojarzenia znaczeniowe wypaczają bowiem sens pojęcia precedensu prawnego. Precedensem w użyciu prawniczym jest taki wyrok, który może później w jakiś sposób wpływać na wykładnię i stosowanie prawa. Jest to niezależne od tego, czy przed nim wydano jakieś rozstrzygnięcie w danej kwestii prawnej, czy nie. Nie zmienia to faktu, iż w języku potocznym o wyroku wprowadzającym odmienne niż poprzednio rozwiązania, lub usuwającym poważne kontrowersje co do treści dotychczasowego prawa, mówi się nieraz, że ma charakter precedensowy lub po prostu, że jest precedensem.

W mowie potocznej bez nacechowania orzeczniczego precedens oznacza postępowanie (zdarzenie), które wydarzyło się pierwszy raz, dotyczy postępowania (zdarzenia) nietypowego, różniącego się znacząco od dotychczasowych doświadczeń bądź dotychczasowego postępowania.
