OPP officer pleads guilty to theft, drug and firearms charge
These are violations by the Ontario Provincial Police officers dealing with the Criminal Code of Canada, Controlled Substance and Abuse Act, Customs and Excise Act, etc.

A Leeds County OPP officer has pleaded guilty to theft, drug and firearms charges, including theft of more than $5,000 from the provincial police.
George Duke, a 20-year veteran of the force, pleaded guilty to the six charges in the Ontario Court of Justice in Brockville this week.
The charges included the theft of more than $5,000, which was the property of the OPP, and one charge of breach of trust in connection with the theft.
He also pleaded guilty to two firearms-related charges: The careless storage of a .22-calibre rifle and the careless storage of ammunition of four different calibres.
Duke also pleaded guilty to two counts of drug possession: One for methamphetamine and another for oxycodone.
Justice Kimberley Moore remanded Duke over to March 29.
All of the charges date back to October 31, 2015 when Duke was arrested as part of Project Arrowtown, an 18-month investigation into alleged criminal activity by police officers in Leeds County.
The OPP's organized crime enforcement and professional standards bureaus, with the help of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, OPP Emergency Response Team and the Montreal police force, conducted Project Arrowtown, which was launched in May 2014 and resulted in the execution of seven search warrants.
The six charges are not Duke's only brush with the law. In September, he pleaded guilty to assaulting an elderly man during a routine traffic stop.
That incident, involving a 78-year-old Montreal man, occurred just two months before his Project Arrowtown arrests.
Duke was fined $500 on the assault charge.

OPP Officer 'sorry' for stealing money, drugs
by Thomas » Thu Jun 07, 2018 5:26 pm
A Leeds County OPP officer, who stole drugs and money from suspects, including $10,000 he stashed in the rafters of his Maitland home, will be sentenced Sept. 27.
George Duke, who pleaded guilty to six theft, drug and firearms charges last January, was contrite and apologetic when he appeared at his sentencing hearing on Monday.
"I am very, very sorry — I cannot express my sorrow enough," the 55-year-old Duke told the Ontario Court of Justice, adding that his "embarrassment is beyond what you could understand."
He said he can't explain his actions because "no explanation is possible," and he apologized to his police colleagues.
His lawyer, Mark Wallace, asked that Duke be given a 12-month sentence to be served at the St. Lawrence Valley Correctional and Treatment Centre in Brockville, where he could be treated for post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
Wallace pointed to a psychiatric evaluation of Duke that suggested his mental health problems "may" have contributed to his criminal behaviour.
The lawyer referred to Duke's last two annual OPP job evaluations in 2014 and 2015, which showed the constable was a driven and hard-working officer who outperformed most other police officers. Wallace suggested that Duke's work ethic and drive were his way of coping with his "unwell feelings" by throwing himself into his work.
Although a 2015 police raid found Duke to be in possession of methamphetamine and oxycodone, there was no indication that he used the drugs himself, nor was there evidence that he intended to sell the drugs, hence the simple possession change, Wallace said.
But Crown prosecutor Paul McDermott argued that Duke's crimes were motivated by greed and that he acted like a "common thief." McDermott urged that Duke be sentenced to two years plus a day.
McDermott said the money stolen by Duke included $1,500 that was stashed in an envelope behind the visor of a car and $10,000 in the trunk.
When Duke was arrested a few days later, he was carrying $840 cash from the envelope — the rest he had apparently spent — and the $10,000 was hidden in the rafters of his basement so that Duke could use the money "as his personal bank," McDermott said.
"Mr. Duke used his uniform, his badge and his authority as a disguise to steal money to become a thief — a common thief," McDermott said.
Duke's action "compromises every other police officer and it causes disillusionment if not distrust in the public," he said.
McDermott acknowledged that Duke had mental health issues, including PTSD and some depression, but he suggested that Duke began exaggerating his problems after he was arrested in October 2015.
The $10,000 stolen by Duke was fake, part of a sting operation by the OPP's organized crime enforcement and professional standards bureaus, with assistance from the RCMP and Montreal police. Called Project Arrowhead, the investigation was launched in May 2014 and resulted in the execution of seven search warrants, including the one at Duke's Maitland home.
Along with the drugs and stolen money, the raid found a carelessly stored .22-calibre rifle and improperly stored ammunition.
McDermott argued that had the money been part of a real drug case, and not a police sting, Duke's actions could have affected a trial by either letting a guilty person get off or by convicting an innocent one.
Duke, who joined the Canadian military at the age of 16 and served 17 years before joining the OPP and serving another 20 years, said he had approached his police superiors about his mental health problems on two occasions before the thefts. He said he felt that the OPP brass treated him differently afterward.
Justice Kim Moore set over the sentencing until Sept. 27 to accommodate vacation scheduling.
Duke has continued to collect his OPP salary while on suspension. Last year he was paid $102,945, according to the government's "Sunshine List." In 2016, he was paid $107,857 while on suspension.

OPP officer gets 21 months in jail
by Thomas » Sun Sep 30, 2018 1:39 am
George Duke pleaded guilty to theft, breach of trust, drug and firearms charges.
A veteran OPP officer, who was nabbed in an undercover police sting, was sentenced Thursday to 21 months in jail on theft, breach of trust, drug and firearms charges.
Justice Kimberly Moore of the Ontario Court of Justice recommended that George Duke, 55, serve his time in the St. Lawrence Valley Correctional and Treatment Centre in Brockville, where he could be treated for depression and post traumatic stress disorder.
Duke pleaded guilty to the six charges earlier this year. He stole $11,500 from undercover officers posing as drug-money couriers, possessed drugs including methamphetamine, marijuana and crack cocaine, and carelessly stored a rifle and ammunition at his Maitland home. Some of the drugs – marijuana and crack – were discovered in his duty bag in his locker at a local OPP detachment.
Duke, who joined the OPP at the age of 32 after spending 16 years in the Canadian Forces, was caught by undercover cops on Oct. 30, 2015.
After months of investigating Duke, the police set up a sting on Highway 401, posing as illicit money couriers.
The two officers rented a car and packed $112,000 cash in a gym bag in the trunk. The driver carried $1,500 in his pocket and another $1,500 was stashed in an envelope behind the visor.
The undercover cops then sped along the 401 at 173 km/hr until Duke pulled them over for speeding.
Duke found the money, arrested and released the driver and took the cash back to the station where he turned most of it over.
But the constable took a bundle of $10,000 from the gym bag and kept the envelope of $1,500.
When OPP searched his house, they found the $10,000 hidden in the rafters of his basement and Duke carried $840 from the envelope. The officers found two baggies of meth and 57 oxycodone pills in Duke's bedroom. Small bags of pot were discovered around the house. In Duke's locker at the OPP detachment, investigators found pot, hash and crack cocaine. At his house, an improperly stored rifle was in his bedroom and ammo was found around the house.
Moore noted that Duke insists he didn't take drugs himself and that he wasn't an addict, although he didn't explain the drugs.
"This of course leaves one wondering why he had all of the drugs that were seized from many locations in his home and his locker if his intention was not to consume them," Moore said.
Of the six charges against Duke, Moore said she regarded the breach of trust and the thefts as the most serious.
Duke showed a "complete disregard" for his oath of office and he brought disrespect on the OPP and administration of justice, Moore said. And even though Duke acted alone, there will be some people "who speculate on the honesty and integrity of other police officers and of the judicial system itself as the result of Mr. Duke's actions," she said in her ruling.
"The harm caused to the public and also the potential harm to the reputation of the Ontario Provincial Police is not disputed," Moore said.
The judge also noted that Duke has a criminal record. Two months before the Oct. 30, 2015 sting, the burly Duke assaulted a 71-year-old man during a traffic stop and tightened the handcuffs so tight that the man's wrists bled. He was given a fine two years later.
If you total up the maximum sentences on the six charges against Duke, they would amount to 24 years in prison.
But Moore said there are some factors in Duke's favour.
Duke pleaded guilty to the charges; he was suffering from mental health issues for many years; he was apologetic; and he was regarded as a hard-working and dedicated officer before the crimes, Moore said.
As well, former cops don't do well in prison and they have to serve much of their time in protective custody.
Since his charges, Duke has been suspended on full salary of more than $100,000 a year.
Moore referred to that in her sentence:
"There are, I suspect, some members of the public who are dismayed that Mr. Duke has been suspended with pay since these charges were laid almost three years ago. While these feelings are understandable, it is also important to note that until a finding of guilt was made, Mr. Duke was presumed to be innocent. Once that finding was made, there were several very important steps that had to take place in order to prepare for a sentencing of this nature."

On January 25, 2013, felony kidnapping charges against Eva Ruiz Gomez were dropped. For two and a half years the Monterey County District Attorney's office had relentlessly pursued its criminal case against Eva, and from the very beginning the judges had prejudged the case and publicly declared that Eva was guilty. The judges effectively prosecuted from the bench, and the five deputy district attorneys who took turns on Eva's case of course welcomed their assistance.

Profits. money wealth, stock prices and GDP growth are measures that work for owners, but less so for everyone else. They are inadequate because they only consider the economic or financial dimension of the system, ignoring society and ignoring nature and the environment. There are many issues including the way accounting has been gamed to allow reporting that would normally not be allowed if the basic fundamental principles of double entry accoutancy were being applied.
We need better metrics for everything that is important in the socio-enviro-economic system. We need metrics to enable people to make better decisions so that the performance of the complex enviro-socio-economic is as good as possible. There are many different approaches to better metrics and many different actors involved in research and development of better metrics.
There is a mistaken idea that more organizational profit results in better quality of life when more profit is often achieved with less payroll and there is a related drop in quality of life. Less spending on pollution control may result in higher profits, but it comes at the expense of more pullution and assiated bad impacts.
In some ways there has been amazing social progress, but there is still a lot to be done. There is a huge underutilized potential to use technology for GOOD, but in the main it the power of technology is used mainly for MONEY. Change the way the metrics are done, and we will change the way the decisions are made! The power of knowledge and technology has the potential to make the world a better place, but this won't happen unless it is managed in a good way.
EXISTING METRICS NO LONGER RESULT IN OPTIMAL DECISION MAKING This is a foundational systemic problem that must be resolved. There is an unhealthy focus on increasing profit for owners without taking into consideration the related impact on society and the environment cannot work and will certainly result in two critical existential threats (1) the inability of the environment to sustain humanity in the way we have become accustomed; and (2) social unrest that cannot be constrained.
GOOD METRICS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR DECISION MAKING ... FOR ACCOUNTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
There is amazing technology but mostly used simply to enable the accumulation of money wealth without taking into account the impact of economic transactions on people, society, nature and the environment.
True Value Impact Accounting (TVIA) builds on the core concepts of conventional double entry accounting and management accounting.
TVIA is a system for the measurement and reporting of impact on all the capitals based on conventional accounting, but designed to suit the modern complex world in a way that is both simple, easy to understand, easy to use and powerful. The system is designed to measure everything that really matters. It embraces some of the powerful concepts of double entry accounting and applies them not only to money transactions but to everything important not transacted in money.
Many organization recognize that it is important to measure a lot more than the only the money dimension of the socio-enviro-economic system, and there are many complex measures that are being used to understand how the various bits of the system work.
Many of these initiatives are very good, but there is no framework to make it easy to report on the performance of the system as a whole. In the absence of such a framework, the default measure becomes the prevailing money wealth based set.
While there are many different approaches to better metrics and many different actors involved in research and development of better metrics, none seem to have the bigger goal of a better universal, coherent, comprehensive framework of measurement.
NATURAL CAPITAL has been diminished significantly since the beginning of the modern era ... since the start of the agricultural revolution and then the industrial revolution. There has been resource depletion and environmental degradation that has not been taken into account in the metrics of socio-economic performance and no credit given for ecosystem remediation, an activity now growing, but long overdue.
MILLIONS OF PLANTS, MILLIONS OF ANIMALS, BIRDS, ETC.
Since the 1980s, financial capital has grown at an impressive compound rate ... in large part because it is the only part of the socio-enviro-economic system with a coherent set of metrics for financial performance.
The nature of finance and investment has changed over the years. Physical assets have lower importance in financial thinking now than in the past. Anything that earns profit has investment value not matter what its related value destruction (which is not measured in conventional metrics).
There are thousands of ORGANIZATIONS that provide banking and financial services, the essential ecosystem of money, banking and finance.
The SECTOR that makes up the banking and financial services industry has become huge and complex. The sector provides the essential ecosystem to enable flows of money and securities. The sector has become immensely profitable (which is measured) but perhaps not very valuable (which is not measured)!
For the very wealthy FINANCIAL CAPITAL is toy ... and a game. A small amount of financial capital is very valuable for people in the middle class ... but the value is quite different for those with substantial wealth.
Capital markets have made the financial intangible of goodwill bigger than real tangible assets!
Life is impossible without incurring costs ... the costs of living. There are many different standards of living, each with different associated costs.
For a long time, a 'better' quality of life was associated with more consumption and a higher cost of living. This correlation was valid when people had less than the optimum for a decent quality of life, and in this situation more was better. But when basic needs are satisfied, and some luxuries are owned, more gets less and less important ... and too much starts to be a burden.
Not enough money to pay for the costs of living is a very bad situation and one that is faced by too many people. For most people a 'job' is the source of money, and too many people either do not have a job, or have a job that does not pay a decent living wage.
There are many issues with conventional money based performance indicators. The PROFIT metric is very powerful but it is calculated without taking into account the damage done by business activity on society and the environment. Also STOCK PRICES are a measure that strongly correlates to profit performance, even thuogh profits ignore social and environmental externalities. Money is used as the unit of measure, even though money has not intrinsic value but is simply the result of market forces and 'trust'.
Progress in the modern economy has been measured in terms of financial wealth. Corporate performance is also measured in terms of its contribution to financial wealth whether or not through stock market values. Money metrics are at the core of most modern economic analysis and this is one of the reasons why the modern economy has become seriously dysfunctional in many ways. The financial metrics ignore all externalities that relate to people/society and planet/environment.
Money has ancient origins ... but is being used in the modern world in many ways that are little understood and potentially very dangerous. PROFIT is the conventional measure of business performance, but it is insufficient for the modern world in the 21st century.
One of the benefits of True Value Accounting is bringing some clarity to the role that INTANGIBLE CAPITAL is playing in the progress and performance of the socio-enviro-economic system. It is increasingly apparent that the growth of intangible capital has enabled inequity in important ways.

Stopping the slide to research fraud
Young researchers may feel unspoken pressure to ensure their data fit a hypothesis
Miriam Shuchman | Toronto, Ontario | Jan. 24, 2017
During a 2016 department research retreat in Ontario, a medical school professor described cases of research fraud that had received international attention. Several students came up afterward to say they connected personally to his topic. During discussions with their research supervisors, they "felt an unspoken expectation to ensure their data fit with the hypothesis," said the professor. "Like, if there are any outliers, get rid of it, that kind of thing."
The professor, who declined to be named to protect the students' identities, was surprised that he'd struck a chord. But surveys over the past several years show it's not rare for scientists to cut corners in their work. In a 2009 meta-analysis of 18 large surveys, Daniele Fanelli of Stanford University found that up to 34% of scientists — including medical researchers — admitted "dropping data points based on a gut feeling" or other questionable research practices, and as many as 72% had seen questionable behaviour by a colleague.
A survey of 2155 research psychologists published in 2012 concluded that the majority were involved in practices such as "deciding whether to exclude data after looking at the impact of doing so on the results."
The problem of scientists showing only the data that support their case "is absolutely, extremely prevalent," said Dr. Gary Lewis, an endocrinologist and director of the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of Toronto. Lewis started thinking about the idea that scientists can go down a slippery slope towards misconduct when a member of his division, Dr. Sophie Jamal, was found guilty of manipulating data. "I think it starts small, with not being true to the data, and I think you can take one step and then another step and another step, and before you know it, you're in over your head," he said.
Researchers involved in questionable practices "probably are quite fearful and have an understanding there's a better way to do it," said Nancy Walton, chair of the Research Ethics Board (REB) at Women's College Hospital in Toronto. She thinks scientists might take a different path if offered support at the right time, but there isn't a system to provide that sort of guidance, and research authorities are seen as punitive. "No one goes to an REB [for research advice]," she said. "They're terrified of REBs, and they're not going to go to their VP of research."
How can the scientific community ensure the…
Education is typically seen as the answer. In response to a series of misconduct cases, the University of Toronto's medical school established a research integrity task force. Its "first goal is to really educate our faculty" about ethics guidelines and expectations, said task force chair Dr. Allan Kaplan, a vice-dean at the school.
Training in research integrity builds participants' knowledge, but the effects don't last long, according to a 2016 Cochrane Collaboration review. The review also concluded that effects of training on reducing misconduct "are uncertain" because of "very low quality" evidence.
CMAJ has learned that Jamal had completed all the mandatory training at her hospital in good clinical practice, research ethics, and responsible conduct of research during the period when she was found to have made changes to her data.
A surer bet for discouraging bad research behaviour may be greater institutional support, including information technology support for electronic data capture platforms and plagiarism detection software. By increasing the chance that misbehaving scientists will be found out early on, such systems could possibly deter misconduct.
Dr. Richard Eastell, an osteoporosis expert in England who collaborated with Jamal on a paper that he and other authors retracted after her hospital's investigation found the data were unreliable, said preventing similar situations in the future requires institutional processes to monitor data throughout the course of a study.
Universities and research centres across Canada offer systems, such as REDCap, that track who enters original data points or alters them over the life of a study, but researchers require the infrastructure to use such systems, including access to experienced programmers. Monitoring visits and random research audits may also catch problems.
Health Canada requires onsite monitoring of the studies it approves. Drug companies also monitor studies they sponsor and a few of the largest institutions now monitor studies by their scientists. But many academic researchers running so-called investigator-initiated studies "don't have the funds to do that kind of monitoring so they may not do it at all, or they may not do it as frequently as they should," said Karen Arts, executive director for the Canadian Cancer Clinical Trials Network.
To catch plagiarism, many journals use CrossCheck from iThenticate, and some institutions, including the University of Waterloo and Toronto's St. Michael's Hospital, now provide free access to iThenticate so scientists can check articles before submitting them.
As for the students who spoke up at the annual retreat, the professor told them how to report their supervisors, but he understood their reluctance. Students' careers depend on letters of reference and networking which could be "gone in a flash" if they lose the backing of a mentor, he said.
Walton said research assistants sometimes bring their concerns or questions about studies to the REB office because they "don't have someone to turn to." In her view, those situations speak to a "huge gap in the system": the lack of structures to support researchers and their staff.

Q: Using python to talk to a terminal program back/forth So I've been using subprocess and pexpect
to try to interact with a separate program running in the terminal. I need to feed it a command, with arguments, and be able to receive it's response and potentially send it more commands.
With subprocess, I have only been able to launch a terminal, but not feed it commands. Or I can pass ONE line of command to an emulated terminal within python. The issue it that it's one-and-done and I can't really interact with it.
pexpect seems to only be able to initiate one command, and then respond to the terminal in an automated fashion, I couldn't find relevant and up to date documentation that went over what I needed.
Are there better modules to use for this? Or am I using them the wrong way?
-Thanks,
-Sean

A: pexpect is your best candidate, as far as I'm aware.
It's documentation matches version on pypi - 3.2 as for now.
If you would like to run bunch of commands one after another you can try to divide commands with ";" or "&", depends on your usage.
Btw. please take a look at example section.

A developing trend in professional service agreements is to include a provision that shifts the burden of the "prevailing party's" attorney's fees on to the "non-prevailing party". The language usually looks something like, "In the event of any claim between the parties the non-prevailing party will pay the prevailing party's attorneys fees, costs and expenses".
At first blush, this provision and its burden shift might seem reasonable. After all, the consequences apply equally to both parties and it seems to offer the benefit of reducing frivolous litigation. In practice, however, shifting the burden of defense fees rarely benefits the design professional. Here's a quick look at why.
The primary problem is one of coverage. Agreeing to pay the legal fees of another party is the assumption of liability by contract. This assumption of liability is typically excluded under professional liability policies for design professionals. Without that coverage, the prospect of paying legal fees out of one's pocket changes the negotiation dynamic significantly in any legal action. The mere threat of paying the other side's legal fees can provide substantial leverage to the opposing party. Keep in mind that defense fees can easily equal or exceed the settlement value of any case.
In cases where the client is not willing to waive this burden shift requirement, the design professional should seek a clear definition of "prevailing party" that provides them some negotiating room. For example, the "prevailing party" might be defined as the recipient of a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction including all post trial motions and appeals. One should also, in these cases, attempt to secure a limitation of liability of the defense expenses to an amount that is manageable.
In his article, Template of Reasonable Contract Clauses for Design Professionals; published in ProNetwork News in 2016 Kent Holland offers the following as a potential compromise.
While, language like the above is helpful in reducing the exposure, the obligation is still an uninsured undertaking and should be avoided if at all possible.
Architects and engineers understand the value of precision in assuring success. Getting the words right in a prevailing party provision at the start of a project can avoid a world of problems down the road.


Here are a couple of quick examples of the best and the worst employment practice.
Staff at Teignbridge Council in Devon have been provided with crash helmets to protect them from kamikaze seagulls.
When staff try to collect weather data from the roof of council offices in Newton Abbot, the seagulls go nuts and attack them in squadrons.
Seagull victim David Potter said: "The big gulls swoop at my head and are backed up by half a dozen others which scream and dive-bomb me.
At the other end of the scale, we have the story of a Brazilian lady who was sacked for wearing high heels after her company, Plenarc, claimed she might fall over and then sue the business. "She was an accident waiting to happen!" raved the company lawyer.
She got her job back in the end, but the tribunal did say the company would have been within its rights to discipline her for wearing high heels.
This begs the question of what this company actually does. Does it manufacture bouncy castles or something? Enquiring minds need to know.
Next week, Guru will announce the winner of his Christmas stockings competition, so stay tuned.
More and more companies are finding themselves forced to dump their CEOs because of financial failings, corporate scandals, stationery cupboard-based indiscretions etc. In fact, the total number of top exec terminations has risen from 1% to 5% in the past 10 years.
As we have seen, in some cases, they have gone kicking and screaming, with nothing but a few million pounds to console them, the poor devils. However, some leaders are proving harder to shift than anyone could have predicted.
Take Lenin, erstwhile leader of Communist Russia. He shuffled off this mortal coil in 1924, but it appears he still wants a piece of the action. He is allegedly haunting the museum that commemorates his life and achievements.
Museum curator, Maja Obraszowa, says staff often hear footsteps and see furniture moving, among other ghostly goings on.
Then some school children visiting the museum said they smelled fresh coffee when looking at the dictator's old coffee machine.
There are two lessons to be learned from this if you want to avoid corporate 'fat cat' scandals. First, if you want a CEO everyone likes, make sure they are willing to take their turn making the coffee Ð unlike Lenin, who seems to be doing it on the sly.
Second, don't make the mistake Guru made when he was asked to terminate the employment of the CEO. It took ages to clean the blood off the walls of the office.
A couple of weeks ago, Guru tried to help out the footballing community by suggesting hooligans from Cardiff and Millwall be employed to nip over and quell the French riots.
Russian politician, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, had already said his country was ready to send over "football fans and activists with military training" to restore calm. So, as a spur to British industry, Guru thought he'd pitch the offer on the UK's behalf. Frankly, he was disappointed the CBI wasn't ready to back him on this one.
As a lifetime Cardiff City FC supporter (40 years of trips to Ninian Park and elsewhere), may I take exception to your suggesting us as suitable restorers of peace in Paris? This may have been the case 20 years ago, but when recently did you hear genuine reports of trouble started by Cardiff fans? Sadly (well, not really) the lads aren't 'up for it' any longer.
Guru referred Tim to statistics which show that last year the club had the highest number of banning orders in the UK, and also has one of the worst arrest records in the four football leagues. Looking on the bright side, at least Tim can be reassured that the lads are still 'up for it', and his afternoons can echo with the sound of broken bottles connecting with soft body parts if he so chooses. Happy days are here again.

Voting in Favor of Bombing "Agrabah", a Fake Disney Country: The Lows of Islamophobia
When we still had 14 candidates running in the GOP Primary, here's where our country stood as it dealt with Islam and Muslims [December 2015 Public Policy Polling]…
46% supported a national database of Muslims, to only 37% opposed.
54% supported Trump's proposed Muslim ban, to only 25% who opposed it.
36% thought thousands of Arabs in New Jersey cheered when the World Trade Center collapsed to 35% who didn't think that happened.
Only 28% of GOP primary voters went so far as to think mosques in the United States should be shut down to 47% who were opposed to that.
Overall 53% of primary voters thought Islam should be allowed to just 26% who didn't think it should be. Just 33% of Trump supporters thought Islam should be legal to 42% who thought it should be illegal.
Looking specifically at Trump's supporters on two other heavy topics:
41% of his voters thought Japanese internment was a good thing, to 37% who didn't.
41% of his supporters would favor bombing Agrabah to only 9% who were opposed to doing that.
Agrabah is the country from the Disney animated movie, Aladdin.
More polling about Agrabah:
Overall 30% of Republican primary voters said they supported bombing Agrabah to 13% who were opposed.
But let's be clear…Islamophobia isn't just a GOP issue, Public Policy Polling asked the same question of Democrats, and 36% of them opposed bombing Agrabah to 19% who were in support.
You did just read that Agrabah is a fake Disney country, correct? If you don't believe me, then look on a globe, map, or just Google it… A-G-R-A-B-A-H.
Which makes me wonder where the country stands now with four remaining GOP candidates in the running, and the frontrunner spewing so much hate about Islam, Muslims, and Immigration (and Rubio and Cruz sharing similar sentiments)–have these numbers increased, decreased, or remained steady when it comes to Muslims?…
Watch this video to hear someone's commentary about this poll and what it says about our country, the hypocrisy of those who claim to know and support the US Constitution, and the hypocrisy of those who want constitutional freedoms to only apply to "us" and not "them". When the word "terrorist" is only aligned with a Muslim-sounding name, we're in huge trouble.
We're in a sad state of affairs right now people. Our country is divided based on color, race, religion, and class. The "land of the free and home of the brave" is clearly shifting to the "land of the enslaved and home of the ignorant". Some people are mentally, spiritually, financially, and physically enslaved in the US, and the comments that we hear from GOP candidates and their supporters prove that there are large numbers of people walking around blindly ignorant–and like the flu, it is contagious!

>Ivory Coast: Election, Cocoa, and More Drama
Ivory Coast…a country that just had a ray of hope flash before them is now waiting for the drama to end. We can recall the chaos that sparked during the 2002 failed coup attempt. Now after the November 2010 election, the country has been slammed with even more drama as incumbent President Gbagbo refuses to step aside so President-elect Alassane Ouattara can assume the position. There are two Presidents trying to run a country, one who refuses to leave, and one who polls show won the election by a narrow 8 percentage points (according to the UN and the Independent Electoral Commission)- and in turn should by all accounts be assuming all responsibilities as acting President.
President-elect Ouattara.

There are some in the south that argue that Ouattara is a puppet placed into office by foreign power structures- and thereby not a legitimate candidate nor trusted to have taken part in a fair election. While others don't care who won the election, they just want to return to work, get their salaries in full and on time, and start the rebuilding process so the country can thrive. Many northerners would agree that they just want to resume their responsibilities at work, get their children back in school, and gain a sense of normalcy under a re-defined vision of the term. Their support of Ouattara however is the reason for their current punishment under Gbagbo's rule.
With all of this drama and emotion comes a reality about an economy that is facing a turbulent crash as some businesses, including banks have shut down. Let's take a look at what has been happening: Schools in the northern part of the country have been shut down since late November 2010; Gbagbo's administration has broken ties with the West African CFA monetary union- removing all except the Ivorian flag from the front of the bank's offices; some state salaries ($160m) are not being paid on time or at all- a burden that some claim Gbagbo cannot hold up; Many private sector salaries are not being paid- especially in the northern region; Tuesday the country missed a $29m interest payment on bond debt held by European institutions; and now pro-Gbagbo supporters are showing off a new proposed currency that they call, "Ivorian currency of the resistance" at protest rallies.
So where's the president-elect Ouattara?
President-elect Ouattara
Ouattara is under blockade in a hotel in Abidjan waiting for Gbagbo to step down and relinquish control. Despite the obvious lack of control in many areas, Ouattara does however have control of the state bank accounts which reports say are held at the regional level. He respectfully called for a boycott on all cocoa exports last month, and for companies to stop paying taxes hoping that by Gbagbo no longer receiving those monies into his current administration he will get the hint that it is time to move out and move on. The cocoa boycott is a major power move and potential slippery slope since the Ivory Coast accounts for one-third of all the cocoa in the world, but without exportation there is no revenue for cocoa producers; and more than one-quarter of earnings are derived from cocoa exportation. The ban could cause cocoa prices to spiral out of control.

But what good will these measures do for the Ivory Coast as the head of the French Chamber of Commerce (in the Ivory Coast) estimates that the country will lose one-third of its small and mid-sized companies if this chaos rolls over into a third month? In December the U.S. imposed travel sanctions on Gbagbo and 30 of his allies (names unreported) and that did not seem to phase them much or at all.
It does not seem as though Gbagbo and his supporters are moved by the attempts made by Ouattaro and his supporters since Gbagbo supporters recently seized control of branches of the BCEAO, a West African regional central bank, and his computer and financial experts are scrambling to create a new banking system after the BCEAO restricted access of their internal system that is housed in their Senegal offices. To really send a message Gbagbo took control of the privatized electricity company's distribution network, and then last week had his energy minister turn off all power to the northern part of the country (large Ouattara supporters) for a few hours.
The message is being sent loud and clear- Gbagbo has the power, has no intention of leaving office anytime soon, and he definitely won't leave quietly.

>Briefing on Mother Africa: Women of Zimbabwe- Part Two
>Last Friday I wrote of the current political struggles surrounding the women of Zimbabwe. As promised, today I will show the need for these same women to come together collectively, being sure to inform the masses, educate the uneducated, empower those who are struggling with hope and faith, and make sure that their fight is not in vain. All women of Zimbabwe should be informed and included in the political process and it should be represented in the number of women voters, candidates and cabinet members.
By the designated 2015 benchmark, Zimbabwean women need to establish themselves as a collective voice and show an ability to not only hold positions both in the public and private sectors, but to do so as efficient and effective leaders. They must learn from the past, not be satisfied with the status quo of the present, and strategize for the future. Something that every woman worldwide must accomplish during their lifetime.
U.S. History of Women's Suffrage: A Brief Overview and Critique
The first recorded history of this movement began in 1776 when Abigail Adams sent a note to her husband, John Adams, while he was attending the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, asking that he and the other men (who were working on the Declaration of Independence) "Remember the Ladies." John responded with what was deemed as humor that the Declaration's wording specifies that "all men are created equal" and that the men would "fight the despotism of the petticoat".
Yes, some would argue as I have, (which irritated my Women's Studies professor in undergrad) that the movement did not extend its reach far and wide to be receptive and inclusive of the rights of all women, to unite with women of color, especially Black women. It has been said that it was more by default than a focused and purposed desire or strategy that women of color were included in the 19th Amendment. This point will be explored because without unification, without alliances, the mountain of victory can take longer to climb- and can be impossible to reach the zenith.
The Rocky Waters of Suffrage: Black and White
Let us not forget in 1851, twelve years before the Emancipation Proclamation was signed and 14 years before the Juneteenth celebration, when Sojourner Truth delivered her "Ain't I a Woman?" speech before a spellbound audience at a women's rights convention in Akron, Ohio; her point being that Black women should also be included and allowed to participate as equals in the movement for women's rights…all women.
Truth saw and exposed the truth, and that was that Black women were being broadly overlooked within the movement. A possible answer to that call (although short-lived) could be when in 1866 Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony formed the American Equal Rights Association (AERA), an organization for white and black women, and men dedicated to the goal of universal suffrage.
What is odd though, when Anthony and Stanton formed the more radical National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), Black men and women were excluded from the suffrage mission and vision. Tensions got so high that it caused a rift between the organization's founders and Frederick Douglass in 1870 and they parted ways. Here was clear evidence of Sojourner Truth's speech 'falling on deaf ears'.
The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) an 1890 merger of NWSA and the American Women Suffrage Association (AWSA) was made up of white women (and ironically the same women who were fighting years earlier).
Even six years later when The National Association of Colored Women was formed, bringing together more than 100 black women's clubs, there was no true, March in distinguishable alignment between white and black women. Black women learned that they would have to fight to get their voices heard loudly but respectfully over the crowd. Even though the founders of the Black sorority, Delta Sigma Theta (who later incorporated as an organization in 1930) first participated in the Women's Suffrage
Washington D.C., March 1913, many Black women's organizations felt slighted by the march as they did not seem to be included (check out the suffrage march line).
It's been 90 years since women in the U.S. earned the right to vote, 145 years since the entire U.S. and abroad received word that all Black slaves were "free"; 148 years since the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, 234 years since the U.S. Constitution was drafted, and over 500 years since the first enslaved African was admittedly brought to what we now call the United States (research the Transatlantic slave trade that began in the 1450s, and the 1526 slave revolt against the Spaniards in the Carolinas).
But for the women of Zimbabwe it has been 1010 years since the Shona people built a city called Zimbabwe; a mere 53 years since women earned the right to vote, thirty-two years since they earned the right to stand for election- and it has only been eight days since Zimbabwe has started accepting submissions towards re-drafting their constitution to include women- as influenced by women.
These women have been yearning for a voice, position, and an opportunity in a country that only 30 years ago was recognized by Great Britain as a distinct and independent country. Without a grassroots effort to share the news about the submission process, and explain what information can be submitted, this major constitutional milestone will be moot and the red inking (as pictured on a female voter's finger above) will feel almost useless.

A tent with an assembled framework made of aluminum or steel pipes that supports the fabric roof and defines the shape of the structure. The rigid framework allows the tent to be free-standing without additional support, but must be secured with stakes to keep it stable in the wind. Stakes can be substituted with weights on areas where putting holes into the ground is not possible. Frame Tents are suitable for areas where space is an issue and are great for decks and terraces. Frame tents come in both a white top canopy and clear top canopy.

This weekend marked 100 years since the armistice that ended World War I. In a speech commemorating the anniversary, French President Emmanuel Macron cautioned against the dangers of nationalism, in comments widely viewed as a rebuke of U.S. President Trump, who has recently identified himself as a "nationalist."
Just before the summit, Macron also called for the formation of a European army that would operate without the United States. Journalist and author Adam Hochschild argues that the 100th anniversary of the war's end is an opportunity to honor the dissenting voices against the war, including anarchist political activist and writer Emma Goldman, socialist and trade unionist Eugene V. Debs and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jane Addams.
AMY GOODMAN: I wanted to ask you about both French President Macron's comments, clearly alluding to President Trump calling himself a nationalist, and saying nationalism is the opposite of the patriotism, Macron said. In another apparent rebuke to Trump's policies, German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned of the dangers of isolationism.
CHANCELLOR ANGELA MERKEL: [translated] The First World War shows how isolationism leads to many destructions. And if isolationism wasn't the right solution more than a hundred years ago, how could it simply be the right choice today, in an interconnected world that has five times more people, as today? Shaping an interconnected world, this was the model of our German G20 presidency last year for this very reason.
AMY GOODMAN: Adam Hochschild, your response?
ADAM HOCHSCHILD: Well, you know, I liked President Macron's remarks about the difference between patriotism and nationalism. I think it's an important distinction. You know, the nationalist always thinks, "My country first! My country above all!" Patriotism, by his definition, I think, means something subtle and more than indifferent.

Longing to do something in the entertainment field, John learned how creative radio jocks can be after listening to countless air-checks with his dad. John also learned it's not always what you know but who you know when applying for a job. In 1994 John got his start at WFLO doing part-time work while a senior at Buckingham County High School. John worked at WFLO close to seven years before taking a break from radio. After a few years he got the itch to get back into radio again. He found work closer to home at WBNN. After being there for 13 years, he learned that job security, even in small market radio, can be risky. So after that door closed, John was able to come back to the station that gave him his start.

This sounds like procrastination but trust me on this, it's not. Often times, the words will not come out of your head because your brain is running on empty. Have you ever tried to walk around the block after shopping for eight hours? I don't think so. A nap will rest your brain and it might help get those words start to flow again.
Again, this sounds like procrastination but it's not. If you have a fever, do you go to school? If you have a broken leg, do you try to run the Boston Marathon? No, you take a break to recover and to step away for just a moment. Sometimes overworking the brain will cause a breakdown and 404 will show up. Step away from the computer, grab a pair of headphones and go for a walk around the block. Jam out to some music and let your brain just relax. It might just help you!
This is simple yet a tricky task to balance. If you blog about food, go watch a cooking show (or two) but do not spend the next three weeks watching cooking shows. Writing the next science masterpiece? Watch some Star Trek (movie or a couple of shows) but do not watch all of the Original Series episodes, and then watch the first six movies. The point of this solution is to getinspired, not glued to the couch. Occasionally, the brain needs to be reminded of the subject matter. So, go remind it, not distract it.
If the writing juices are still running a little dry, try some freewriting. What is freewriting? Well, it is a writing exercise where you write for a short period of time and you ignore your inner critic and editor. You just let the words flow. The topic doesn't have to be premeditated or perfect by any means. It's not a 'usable' piece of writing – as in, you can't just do a free write and publish it on your blog for your weekly post. But it will start to break the dam down and get some words out of your head; and, you might get an idea from the free write. So try to write for a solid five minutes and see where your brain goes.
While this might be aimed more toward the novel or storytellers, this can also apply to the bloggers and article writers. If you are stuck on something, try something else. This might be writing whatever you are working on in another point of view or change up the writing program you are working with. If that isn't working for you, skip that post (or chapter) and write that article or blog post that you really want to write or happen to be currently in the mood to write.
If your passion isn't in it, then your brain won't go along for the ride. If your brain doesn't go for the ride, then your readers won't want to tag along as well. You may never know, skipping might help you in the long run!
Go ahead, just let it out. (Unless you live with others or in an apartment building.) Screaming the stress away might open the floodgates to get the words going. Then again, just screaming might help you feel better. Just try to make sure you are alone.
What's this? Well, in layman terms, it is a challenge of writing that you create. Google the terms and you will have a lot of articles and a lot of lists of prompts. There are monthly, weekly, or even daily prompts that you try to write about and work with. If you are lost and don't really have an idea on where to go with your writing, this will definitely help. It's even better when you join a group; it will keep you accountable for getting stuff done!
Yes, you read that right. Just write. Get words on the page. Ever heard of NaNoWriMo? That is the National Novel Writing Month, and you know what they are all about? Getting 50,000 words down on the page. Do they have to be the best? No! But the point is to get those words down on that page. It's easier to fix a bad page of writing rather than trying to fix a blank page.So just write that rough draft of that blog post. Get those words down and fix them later. You'll thank me later!
Getting over writer's block is a challenge and it is something you have to work on. It might not happen overnight, but if you keep chipping away from that block, you just might clear it. But if you actually have a large metal box called 'writer', please, just pick it up and move it. That might solve all the problems you are having!

Marion Post (Montclair (New Jersey), 7 juni 1910 – Santa Barbara (Californië), 24 november 1990), later Marion Post Wolcott, was een Amerikaanse fotograaf, die haar bekendste werk maakte in de jaren 1938-1941, toen ze in dienst van de Amerikaanse overheid het dagelijks leven in de agrarische en industriële gebieden ten oosten van de Mississippi vastlegde.

Leven en werk

Marion Post werd op 7 juni 1910 geboren in New Jersey. Na de scheiding van haar ouders werd ze naar een kostschool gestuurd. In de vakanties verbleef ze bij haar moeder in Greenwich Village, waar ze kennis maakte met kunstenaars en musici. Later volgde ze een studie aan The New School.

Na een opleiding tot onderwijzeres vond ze werk in een stadje in Massachusetts. Toen de school zijn deuren sloot, vertrok ze naar Europa, waar haar zus Helen Post al fotografie studeerde bij Trude Fleischmann, een vermaarde Weense portretfotograaf. Toen Fleischmann Marions werk zag, moedigde ze haar aan door te gaan met fotograferen.

In Wenen was ze getuige van de Jodenvervolging door de nazi's. Uit voorzorg besloten de beide zussen terug te keren naar de VS. Marion Post ging weer aan de slag als onderwijzeres, maar ze bleef ook fotograferen en sloot zich evenals haar zus Helen aan bij de antifascistische American League Against War and Fascism, die Joden hielp Europa te ontvluchten. Op deze manier wist ook Trude Fleischmann, na de Anschluss in 1938, Oostenrijk te verlaten en via Parijs en Londen ten slotte in april 1939 New York te bereiken.

Bij de New Yorkse Photo League maakte Marion Post kennis met Ralph Steiner en Paul Strand die haar werk waardeerden. Toen ze aan hen vertelde dat ze voor de Philadelphia Evening Bulletin vooral "vrouwenonderwerpen" moest verslaan, liet Ralph Steiner haar portfolio zien aan Roy Stryker, het hoofd van de fotografieafdeling van de Farm Security Administration (FSA), vergezeld van een aanbevelingsbrief van Paul Strand. Stryker was onder de indruk en nam haar meteen aan.

De FSA was in 1937 opgericht als onderdeel van Roosevelts New Deal ter bestrijding van de armoede op het platteland ten gevolge van de Grote Depressie. Marion Post behoorde tot de groep fotografen die zowel het dagelijks leven van de gewone Amerikanen als de resultaten van de nieuwe maatregelen moest vastleggen. Haar collega's bij de FSA waren onder anderen Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks, Jack Delano, Walker Evans, Arthur Rothstein, John Vachon, Russell Lee en Carl Mydans.

In 1941 ontmoette ze Leon Oliver Wolcott, die onder Franklin D. Roosevelt een hoge functie bij het Ministerie van Landbouw bekleedde. Nadat ze getrouwd waren, bleef Marion Post Wolcott nog even in dienst van de FSA, maar in februari 1942 nam ze ontslag, omdat ze geen kans zag het fotograferen en reizen te combineren met het gezinsleven.

In de jaren 1970 werd haar werk herontdekt door historici en kunstliefhebbers en kreeg ze zelf ook weer belangstelling voor de fotografie. In 1978 vond haar eerste solo-expositie plaats in Californië en in de jaren 1980 begonnen het Smithsonian en het Metropolitan Museum of Art haar foto's te verzamelen. De eerste monografie over haar werk verscheen in 1983. Het Art Institute of Chicago organiseerde in 1989 een tentoonstelling van haar werk en dat van haar jongere collega en geestverwant Esther Bubley. Marion Post Wolcott overleed op tachtigjarige leeftijd op 24 november 1990 in Santa Barbara (Californië).

De foto's voor de FSA

Posts foto's voor de FSA getuigen van haar betrokkenheid bij de armoede en ontberingen tijdens Grote Depressie. Ze legde met enkele beroemd geworden foto's de gevolgen van de segregatie vast, maar ze had ook oog voor de humor en de poëzie van de situaties die ze fotografeerde. In haar latere leven zette ze zich in voor vrouwenrechten. In 1986 zei ze tijdens de Women in Photography Conference in Syracuse (New York): "Vrouwen zijn al een eind gekomen, maar nog niet ver genoeg. [...] Spreek met je beelden en leg er je hart en ziel in."
