Attività politica

Dal PCI al PD
Verso la fine del 1973 si iscrive alla Federazione Giovanile Comunista Italiana, l'organizzazione giovanile del Partito Comunista Italiano, in cui assume nel 1977 la carica di segretario provinciale a Salerno.

Alle elezioni amministrative del 1980 viene eletto per la prima volta nel consiglio comunale di Salerno, venendo poi confermato consigliere comunale alle amministrative del 1985.

Nel 1987, con l'elezione di Vincenzo Giordano a sindaco di Salerno e l'insediamento della prima giunta comunale laica e di sinistra della città, è nominato assessore ai lavori pubblici, alla viabilità ed al sistema dei trasporti e nel 1989 anche vicesindaco. Alle elezioni del 1990 è confermato come consigliere comunale e nella seconda giunta Giordano è nominato vicesindaco e assessore ai lavori pubblici ed alle grandi infrastrutture, rimanendo in carica fino al 1992.

Nel 1991 aderisce alla svolta della Bolognina di Achille Occhetto dal PCI al Partito Democratico della Sinistra, per poi confluire nel 1998 nei Democratici di Sinistra su impulso di Massimo D'Alema.

Elezione a deputato
Alle elezioni politiche del 2008 viene eletto alla Camera dei deputati tra le liste del PD nella circoscrizione Campania 2, diventando successivamente componente della 9ª Commissione Trasporti, poste e Telecomunicazioni. Durante l'esperienza parlamentare è stato presentatore e cofirmatario di numerosi progetti di legge, personalmente redigendone, tra i più significativi, due per il superamento dell'emergenza rifiuti in Campania presentati nel 2008 e nel 2009.

Alle elezioni politiche del 2013 viene ricandidato alla Camera, di nuovo nella circoscrizione Campania 2, tra le liste del PD e rieletto deputato. Nel corso della XVII legislatura è stato componente della 5ª Commissione Bilancio, Tesoro e Programmazione, della 11ª Commissione Lavoro pubblico e privato e della Commissione giurisdizionale per il personale.

Nel aprile 2014 è stato relatore per la Commissione Bilancio sull'accordo Italia-UE per il ciclo di programmazione dei fondi strutturali 2014-2020, con formulazione di parere al Governo approvato dalla Commissione all'unanimità. Il 10 ottobre 2014 presenta alla camera una proposta di legge (l'unica come primo firmatario) che avrebbe cancellato l'abuso d'ufficio dall'elenco dei reati per i quali possono scattare le sanzioni della legge Severino, ma non verrà né discussa né tanto meno approvata.

Vicepresidente della Regione Campania

Il 6 luglio 2015 viene nominato vicepresidente della regione Campania con deleghe regionali all'ambiente, all'urbanistica e alle politiche ambientali dal neo presidente della regione Vincenzo De Luca, del quale è avvocato e da cui è stato scelto principalmente per la sua fedeltà politica fin dai tempi della giunta Giordano, se non ancor prima. Il 25 luglio, a causa dell'incompatibilità tra la carica di deputato e vicepresidente di regione, rassegna le sue dimissioni dalla Camera. Il suo seggio vacante alla camera dei deputati verrà occupato da Antonio Cuomo, deputato nella precedente legislatura e candidato sindaco a Eboli.

A maggio 2018 gli viene revocata la delega all'urbanistica per essere concessa al neo assessore Bruno Discepolo.

A luglio 2019 firma assieme al ministro per i beni e attività culturali Alberto Bonisoli, al ministro per il sud Barbara Lezzi e il sindaco di Napoli Luigi De Magistris un contratto inter-istituzionale di sviluppo, con il quale verranno finanziati 22 interventi in tre municipalità del centro storico di Napoli. I principali interventi saranno per restaurare: palazzo Penne e la galleria principe di Napoli per 10 milioni di euro, il complesso dell'Annunziata per 8 milioni di euro, l'ex convento delle Cappuccinelle per 7,5 milioni di euro e il complesso (ex ospedale militare) della Trinità delle Monache per 6 milioni di euro. Oltre ai restauri, i principali interventi saranno anche di tipo infrastrutturale come: la funzionalizzazione del percorso pedonale nei tratti via Sanità-Corso Amedeo di Savoia e via Fontanelle-stazione della linea 1 per più di 4,5 milioni di euro, la trasformazione dell'ex deposito ANM del Garittone in area di sosta per autobus turistici per 5,6 milioni di euro (progetto atteso da tempo da Sylvain Bellenger, direttore del museo di Capodimonte).

Il 27 ottobre 2020 viene riconfermato come vicepresidente della regione Campania e assessore all'ambiente nella seconda giunta regionale campana di centrosinistra presieduta da Vincenzo De Luca, in più gli vengono conferite le deleghe alla firma delle procure e dei mandati alle liti agli avvocati incaricati del patrocinio e difesa in giudizio della Regione Campania e ai rapporti con l'avvocatura regionale.

Alle elezioni politiche del 2022 viene candidato alla Camera nel collegio uninominale Campania 2 - 06 per la coalizione di centrosinistra (in quota PD), ma ottiene il 26,43% ed è sconfitto da Giuseppe Bicchielli del centrodestra (36,25%), non è dunque eletto.

Vicende giudiziarie

Tangentopoli

Durante l'inchiesta e il periodo di Tangentopoli, nel '92, su richiesta del pm Michelangelo Russo, fu arrestato assieme al sindaco di Salerno Vincenzo Giordano, metà della sua giunta e il consigliere comunale di Salerno democristiano Aniello Salzano. L'accusa era: abuso d'ufficio, falso e turbativa d'asta per tangenti sugli appalti del Trincerone ferroviario. Successivamente dopo alcuni anni, fu assolto con formula piena dal processo assieme a Giordano e Salzano.

XXX Universiadi
A novembre 2019 viene indagato dalla procura di Napoli per corruzione assieme all'imprenditore alberghiero Rocco Chechile, con il quale ha un rapporto di amicizia di vecchia data, che riguarda l'ospitalità all'albergo Grand Hotel Salerno (di cui è proprietario Chechile) degli atleti durante le XXX Universiadi dello stesso anno, e i rapporti tra privati e rappresentanti delle istituzioni nella organizzazione e gestione dell'evento. Gli investigatori hanno acquisito alcune ricevute di pagamento intestate alla moglie di Bonavitacola, oltre alle liste dei nominativi dei clienti alloggiati nell'albergo per verificare il tutto, e che abbia, effettivamente, prenotato nella struttura senza che venisse poi data comunicazione della sua presenza.

Da MATTINO 7 giugno 2022:

Il gip di Napoli Giovanni de Angelis ha archiviato il procedimento giudiziario riguardante alcune vicende legate allo svolgimento delle Universiadi di Napoli, dell'estate 2019, che vedeva tra gli indagati, tra gli altri, il vice presidente della Giunta regionale della Campania Fulvio Bonavitacola.

«Il decreto di archiviazione - spiega l'avvocato e professore Andrea R. Castaldo, legale di Bonavitacola - fa seguito alla richiesta analoga avanzata dai Pm circa sei mesi fa e chiude definitivamente la vicenda Universiadì. Per quanto riguarda la posizione del vice presidente Bonavitacola, la motivazione conferma l'insussistenza di elementi anche indiziari relativi alla commissione dei reati.

Omissione d'ufficio
A febbraio 2020 viene indagato dalla procura di Napoli assieme ad altre 22 persone, tra cui l'assessore all'ambiente ed ex vicesindaco del comune di Napoli Raffaele Del Giudice, per omissione di atti d'ufficio per presunte inadempienze nella gestione del ciclo integrato dei rifiuti, da parte degli enti locali, che hanno causato sanzioni per  nei confronti dell'Italia da parte dell'Unione Europea.

NAPOLI, 11 OTT 2022 - È stato archiviato il procedimento penale che vedeva indagati tra gli altri, per i reati di rifiuto di atti d'ufficio e inadempimento di contratti di pubbliche forniture, anche Vincenzo De Luca e Fulvio Bonavitacola, rispettivamente presidente e vicepresidente della Regione Campania.

   L'inchiesta, nata nel gennaio 2020, puntava a far luce su eventuali illeciti e omissioni concernenti la gestione delle ecoballe e della raccolta differenziata.

   Il pool di magistrati della Procura di Napoli ha escluso l'esistenza di ogni reato nella condotta degli indagati, affermando come i rallentamenti nella gestione del ciclo integrato dei rifiuti fossero da ricondurre esclusivamente alle lungaggini amministrative e al complesso iter burocratico per la creazione di impianti di compostaggio. Gli inquirenti hanno anche sottolineato l'esistenza di un trend complessivamente positivo e in aumento rispetto alla gestione della raccolta differenziata in Campania.

   "L'archiviazione del gip su conforme, articolata richiesta dei pubblici ministeri - commenta il professor Andrea R.

   Castaldo, difensore di fiducia di De Luca e Bonavitacola - chiude definitivamente una vicenda trascinatasi per anni e dove sotto accusa risultava l'intero sistema di gestione dei rifiuti in Campania. Un'inchiesta racchiusa in ben tredici faldoni di atti d'indagine, per decine di migliaia di pagine, con inevitabili e ingentissimi costi in termini di tempi ed energie spese". "L'archiviazione - conclude Castaldo - testimonia e comprova, da un lato, l'impegno profuso in questi anni dalle Istituzioni regionali e, dall'altro, l'amara verità che sul banco degli imputati doveva figurare l'asfissiante macchina burocratica, che rappresenta il vero freno ad ogni iniziativa che voglia incidere sullo sviluppo socio-economico del Paese".

\title{The Expression Class}
\begin{document}\maketitle
\noindent An expression Class is the core of a mathematical expression expressed as a tree. An expression tree could for example look like this:
\\This is the tree for the mathematical expression: $\frac{2^2}{3}\cdot b+\sin 5$
\\\\
\Tree [.Addition [.Product [.Division [.Potens [.Number 2 ] [.Number 2 ] ] [.Number 3 ] ] [.Number b ] ] [.Sine [.Number 5 ] ] ]
\\In Python, this would be written as:
\begin{verbatim}
addition([product([division([potens([number(["2"]),number(["2"])]),
number(["3"])]),number(["b"])]),sine([number(["5"])])])
\end{verbatim}
But don't worry; that's just the structure. If you want to convert $\frac{2^2}{3}\cdot b+\sin 5$ to the above, the function TextToCAS(str) will do just that. It's located in Data/textparser.py
\\\\Here's a table of all the expressionclasses, an example, their input, and special notes.
\begin{center}
  \begin{tabular}{| p{2.4cm} | p{3.5cm} | p{4.8cm} | p{3.6cm} | }
    \hline
    Class name & Examples & input & notes \\ \hline
    addition &  $a+b+c$ & An array of \textbf{over 1} expression classes (addends) & & \hline
    product &  $a\cdot b\cdot c$ & An array of \textbf{over 1} expression classes (factors) & & \hline
    division &  $\frac{a}{b}$ & An array of \textbf{2} expression classes (numerator and denominator) & & \hline
    potens &  $a^b$ & An array of \textbf{2} expression classes (root and exponent) & & \hline
    number &  $a$, $3$, $k_{a}$& An array of \textbf{1 string} & This is the "last stop" for any expression tree. It's as deep as it goes & \hline
    Unknown function & $f(x)$, $g(x,y)$,$P_{3}(v)$ & A function string ("$f$", "$g$" and "$P_{3}$" in the exmaples) and any \textbf{non-empty} array of  expression classes (arguments) & This is just an unknown function, which can be simplified if the function is defined& \hline
    sine &  $\sin a$ & An array of \textbf{1} expression class (arg) & & \hline
    cosine &  $\cos a$ &An array of \textbf{1} expression class (arg) & & \hline
    tangent &  $\tan a$ &An array of \textbf{1} expression class (arg) & & \hline
    arcsine &  $\arcsin a$ &An array of \textbf{1} expression class (arg) & & \hline
    arccosine &  $\arccos a$ &An array of \textbf{1} expression class (arg) & & \hline
    arctangent &  $\arctan a$ &An array of \textbf{1} expression class (arg) & & \hline
    natlogarithm &  $\ln a$ &An array of \textbf{1} expression class (arg) & & \hline
    comlogarithm &  $\log a$ &An array of \textbf{1} expression class (arg) & $\log_{10}$& \hline
    squareroot &  $\sqrt{a}$ &An array of \textbf{1} expression class (arg) & & \hline

  \end{tabular}
\end{center}
Notice how every expression class has an array of other expression classes as the inputs. There are only 2 classes that has other inputs: The number class, which accepts an array of one string, and the unknownfunction class that accepts a functionsstring, and then an array of expressionclasses.
And expressionclass must have the following methods:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{type():} Returns the string of the name of the class, eg "product"
\item \textbf{tostring():} Returns the string of the expression, eg $2^3\cdot b$
\item \textbf{tolatex():} Returns the string of the expression in \LaTeX, eg "frac\{2\}\{3\}"
\item \textbf{simplify(focus):} Returns a simplified expression of itself, or itself if no simplifications can be made. The focus is an optional number instance, which will make the simplifier simplify thinking you want to solve for that number. This method is defined for all expression classes in the SimplifyAll function in Entityclass.py
\item \textbf{maxleveloftree():} Returns the maximum depth of the expression tree
\item \textbf{evaluable(approx=False):} Returns a bool saying if the class instance could be simplified to a known number like 3 or 4.3 (not a number like $k$). If approx=False, then it will return True if the expression can be simplified to an integer, and if approx=True, it will return True if the expression can be simplified to a float
\item \textbf{evalsimplify():} Evalsimplify will try to simplify the evaluable parts of itself, such that $2\cdot 3\cdot a$ becomes $6\cdot a$. If it can't, it will return self
\item \textbf{simplifyallparts(focus):} Returns a version of it self with all parts (addends or args, or (numerator and denominator) for example) simplified
\item \textbf{contains(varstring):} Returns if the number of the varstring is in the expression, eg if $x$ is in $2\cdot x$ (this will return True)
\item \textbf{approx():} Will just return evalsimplify(True). This way, it'll approximate the expression
\item \textbf{ \_\_eq\_\_(self,other):} Returns if one expression is equal to the other (they're not compared by .tostring())
\item \textbf{compareinfo():} Returns a list consisting of self.type(), and the an array of whatever it got as an input, which means its addends, if the type is addition, factors if product etc etc
\item \textbf{findvariables():} Returns a list of strings of the variables in the expression. "3*a*\_m" would return ["a","\_m"] (even though "\_m" is a unit)
\item \textbf{expand():} expands the expression. $(a+b)^2$ would return $a^2+2ab+b^2$. Is handled by the global function ExpandAll()
\item \textbf{posforms(stringortex,approx=False):} Will return possible forms of the expression. Is handled by the global function posformsimplify in entityclass.py (basically it's a simplifier that simplifies for every focus)
\item \textbf{printtree():} Prints the tree of the expression in an easily readable way. Used for debugging
\item \textbf{makepossiblesubstitutions():} Calls the two dictionaries, and substitutes everything that is defined to something in the dictionary, eg if the expression is $2\cdot a$ and $a:=3\cdot \pi$, it will return $2\cdot 3\cdot \pi$
\item \textbf{substitute(subthisexp,tothisexp):} returns the expression with subthisexp substituted for tothisexp
\item \textbf{getsimplifyscore():} Returns an array of the maxleveloftree and then the length of the input array. Used to determine the best simplification

\end{itemize}
And that's it! The expression classes can have other methods, mainly simplifying methods, which i'll get to later.

An important rule about the expression classes is that no method are allowed to change the values. It will only return another instance.

Duke: $60,000 A Year For College Is Actually A Discount
February 23, 2014 Financial AidMatt Orem
In 1984, it cost $10,000 a year to go to Duke University. Today, it's $60,000 a year. "It's staggering," says Duke freshman Max Duncan, "especially considering that's for four years."
But according to Jim Roberts, executive vice provost at Duke, that's actually a discount. "We're investing on average about $90,000 in the education of each student," he says. Roberts is not alone in making the claim. In fact, it's one most elite research institutions point to when asked about rising tuition.
But just where exactly is all that money going? Michael Schoenfeld, Duke's vice president of public affairs, says for part of that answer, you need to look up: "For the first time in probably anybody's memory, there will be two cranes hovering over the main campus quad." Duke is in the process of renovating its library and dining hall; $8,000 of the $90,000 Duke spends on each student goes into building and maintaining physical infrastructure on campus.

Taught to Hate the Police
Zonka has translated another article about the situation in Vollsmose. He includes this explanatory note:
As a follow-up to the story about the shootings in Vollsmose, fyens.dk have interviewed one of the Enrichers, who is telling a tale that should send shivers down our collective spine.
I believe he is exaggerating somewhat and laying it on a bit thick to paint himself and the Vollsmose immigrants in a better light, but there is no mistaking the main message. There definitely is hate between the immigrants and the police (and the Danes in general), and they are arming themselves and preparing for the upcoming fight (which the other side [our side] is unfortunately neglecting)…
The translated article:
Children in Vollsmose taught to hate the police
In Vollsmose the mistrust of the police has grown to a level higher than hate. Even the children are being taught to hate the police. The car burnings on Thursday and the gunshots were only the warm-up, according to the 29-year-old Malkit.
Vollsmose: Malkit sits in the corner furthest back in the small bar in Odense. While he tells me about the incidents on Thursday in Vollsmose, he looks nervously around to make sure nobody is watching him talking to me,
Because he was there that night. Just as he has been there before. Just as he always is there.
Fundamental Police-hate
It was around 11pm when he got the call on Thursday evening. "The shootings are on" was the message, and he had to hurry from his apartment in Egeparken.
This is how it is. Even though Malkit studies at the university and stays away from crime, the solidarity between him and the other residents of Vollsmose is unbreakable.
"We help each other. That's actually what started the whole thing on Thursday," says Malkit.
The cars were already burning when he ran towards Bøgeparken, and when he arrived everything was chaos.
"It was absolutely crazy. You have to understand that there is a fundamental hate towards the police; trust is at an absolute minimum," says Malkit.
An hour previously people had congregated around an wrecked hit-and-run-driver. They knew the driver of the BMW and wanted to help him.
Malkit says that many of those present didn't understand why the police, who had chased the driver, didn't call an ambulance.
Arms Race in Vollsmose
"It is not true that it [the ambulance] couldn't come in," says Malkit, and shakes his head so that his long black hair falls down into his eyes.
"There weren't that many present at the moment. But when the police used pepper-spray against those that were closest to the car, the trouble began, and the rest of us were notified," says Malkit, and fixes his hair behind his ears.
This time the disturbances were over by 1am, but Malkit predicts that it will end with a "bang".
"We have weapons in Vollsmose. Plenty of weapons. Machineguns, explosives, guns and all the weapons, you can't even imagine. It is only a matter of time. When the police open fire, Vollsmose opens fire, and then chaos and ghetto conditions will reign," he says.
Until then several of the neighborhood's young men are training in the use of hand weapons.
"Every Friday they go to Agedrup and practice. Sometimes behind Vollsmose. They want to defend themselves against racism and Nazism," he explains.
In particular, racism is the reason for the deep hatred against the police, Malkit believes.
"Everybody in Vollsmose hates the police. Young and old. Parents even teach their kids that the police are evil," he says.
"It is because they misuse their authority and behave in a racist fashion towards us."
Malkit looks over his shoulder and stubs out his cigarette in the ashtray.
"I have already said too much."
Malkit wishes to remain anonymous, fearing the reaction from his support base, and thus Malkit is not his real name.

Ah yes, those invisible Nazis once again . After all, we hear stories of enrichers being beaten everyday. Their mothers and sisters being gang raped and their Mosques being desecrated. I wonder what their reaction would be if those things ACTUALLY took place instead of in their paranoid schizophrenic brains.
Talk about mass hysteria! Back in the day the Nazis would kill something like twenty civilians for every German killed. Now one white male beating up a minority is equivalent to a million assaults. The mindset of the enrichers reminds me of what led to the Rwandan massacre. It is like a bad recipe. Take one part uneducated, superstitious and tribal people. Add another part of a Religion bent on world domination. Toss in a healthy dose of Misogyny (especially towards white woman). Throw them into a do-gooder Western nation. Bake at 550 degrees for 50 or more years, and BOOM! You have one very nasty cake.

I wouldn't be surprised if the weapons came from former Yugoslavia, and possibly by extension, Iran.

Pooor people, they should rush home and ask for asylum. Problem solved.
Imagine refugee camps in their homelands.
I guess those nasty policemen totally destroyed their rare islamic sense of honour. Their lives are ruined, no honour, no oxygen. The guns are a therapy and medicine to these desolated sensitive souls.

Lincolnshire County Council Tax rise agreed in executive budget
Lincolnshire County Council leaders have approved a three per cent council tax increase from April, which will raise an extra £9.6 million for social care — but a £12 million gap remains in the highways budget after government cuts.
Friday, 7th January 2022, 5:35 pm
The authority's executive, approved the measures, which will now go before scrutiny and then to consultation, at a meeting on Wednesday.
The rise in tax equates to around £40 on a band D property — and officers estimated the rise will bring in and extra £9.567million. However, social care itself faces pressures of around £13 million.
Conservative council leader Martin Hill said the authority "did not want" to put council tax up, but added that with inflation at around 5% at the moment "it will in effect mean a real term cut for the county".
He said the extra cash would help tackle the extra numbers of children currently cared for out of county by bringing them back in to Lincolnshire and helping the service be more cost affective.
A major talking point for the council was the current argument with the government's Department for Transport, in which it is calling for £12.3million taken from its highways budget to be reinstated – a cut of 25%.
It says thousands of potholes could be left unfilled and miles of road unrepaired if it doesn't get the money. Last year the council plugged the gap from its reserves, but this this year that was not possible.
Councillor Hill said: "We understand and know that having reasonable roads repaired properly is something that our residents and our businesses are very much keen to see happening in the future.
"Unlike last year, we haven't allocated the £12 million government slashed from our highways maintenance grant in our draft budget. This is because we're still hopeful the Transport Secretary will listen to our plea and reinstate the 25% funding cut thrust upon us last February.
"Despite finding corporate savings of £354m since 2011, we still expect to face a cumulative funding shortfall of around £23m over the next four years.
"This means we'd struggle to continue covering the £12 million roads maintenance funding gap, as we will already need to increase council tax, draw on our reserves or find further savings – or more likely a combination of all three – to balance our budget."
The 3% ring-fenced rise was deferred by Lincolnshire County Council last year with bosses instead opting to take just 1.99% rather than the 5% total they were allowed. However, it cannot be deferred again and if not taken will be lost as an option to the authority.
Elsewhere, an assumed increase in council tax base (the number of people paying tax) will generate a further £4.982million.
The report also outlines £9.543 million of savings next year, and £25.585 million by 2025/26.
This will come from methods such as maximising working from home arrangements and smarter working, reducing administrative support posts, closing surplus buildings and cutting supplies, services and travel budgets.
In total, the council's revenue budget for 2022/23 had increased by 5.2% from £505.448 million to £534.515 million.

The Language of Colonial Violence : Humanitarian Narratives and the NSW Law Courts
The Language of Colonial Violence: Humanitarian Narratives and the NSW Law Courts
Presented by: Associate Professor Anna Johnston (IASH, UQ)
This paper analyses humanitarian narratives that emerged in response to violence in 1830s New South Wales, and their contribution to the antecedent history of human rights. The missionary Lancelot Threlkeld used his linguistic skills and access to Indigenous communities to collect and circulate testimony about violence and conflict. Threlkeld passed on such information in a variety of ways, for a variety of purposes, and through a diverse network of correspondence and print. This paper analyses how the language of colonial violence framed such testimony into humanitarian narratives, how it was mobilised for specific local and international effects, and how print culture mobilised (or countered) evidence of colonial conflict as part of broader debates about the British Empire, indigenous peoples, and the law.
This work develops my previous research on Lancelot Threlkeld, including my book The Paper War: Morality, Print Culture, and Power in Colonial New South Wales (University of Western Australia Press 2011). The ongoing research is funded by and related to both my ARC Future Fellowship "The Laboratory of Modernity: Knowledge Formation and the Australian Settler Colonies (1788-1900)" and my collaborative ARC Discovery project "Intimacy and Violence on the Anglo Pacific Rim 1830-1930."

so apparently on a single creation, there is 1 post_save signal fired with args created: True and 1 with created: False. I don't think that the problem is that the signal may be imported multiple times, because I provided a dispatch_uid and a post_delete signal that is defined in the same file is not fired multiple times on a single deletion.
Can anyone enlighten me why this is happening? Thanks

A: Your signal  post_save is not a problem, multiple save triggering it is.
From what I can see you are doing save 2 times in which the first-time object is created and the second-time object is updated without any field changes.

created
A boolean;  True if a new record was created.
update_fields
The set of fields to update as passed to Model.save(),
  or None if update_fields wasn't passed to save().

English for Sport
On paper, it seems perfect: the world of business using its money to help develop sport. In fact, over the last few years companies have given billions of pounds to athletes, teams and sports events.
But are the aims of business and sport really the same? And when business and sport forget their social duties, aren't they letting down each other (not to mention sports fans)?
Business and successful sportspeople would argue that their goals are alike. Business is competitive; it encourages companies to be the best. Sportsmen and women are ambitious; they want to excel. But the bottom line for businesses is making a profit. This is not the same as the athlete's bottom line – winning a race, game or competition.
Even so, business loves sport. It wants to link company names with the excitement. And above all, it is keen to promote products with the huge number of fans. Sportspeople, of course, are delighted to receive business sponsorship. This gives them the chance to get the finest trainers and equipment – and to earn a lot of money.
These are also the reasons, however, why there are problems. Top football teams, for instance, are no longer clubs. Instead they are businesses quoted on the stock exchange. These businesses are so rich, they dominate the game. This gives them, in the view of rival fans at least, an unfair advantage.
But this is exactly what business is about – gaining an advantage over rivals. Of course, if a sports team does badly, the sponsors and the team brand suffer financially. This explains why some companies decide to play safe. Instead of buying a team, they finance events. These include the latest golf tournament or Formula One race. Someone will win the event, and the company cannot lose.
There is now a growing public relations industry for such companies. The industry consultants offer marketing advice about sport and nothing else. The purpose is to promote brand names and increase profits as effectively as possible.
All of this occurs in the context of television and the Internet. Broadcasters pay massive sums for the right to show sports events. For example, TV and Internet executives have paid more than £600 million to show the 2008 Champions League football matches.
Put simply, the focus of business is not really on the sport. It is on the fan – because the fan is a consumer. This may seem reasonable. After all, we live in a consumer-oriented society. But the desire to sell a product can sometimes ignore issues of health and morality.
Until recently, for instance, tobacco companies were major sponsors of sport. Now these are gone, there are still drinks companies and gambling organizations promoting teams and events. These businesses are legitimate; but are they the natural partners of the lifestyle that sport represents? Some might doubt this.
Athletes also have responsibilities in this area. The drug-taking antics of the T-mobile cycling team tainted their sponsor. Other businesses in turn began to think twice about their commitment to the sport. And in addition, the athletes seemed to forget that some fans regard them as role models.
Business is not about to abandon sport, however. Billions of people around the world are too passionate about it. And business has discovered that sport is one of the best ways of opening up new markets. Just watch as sponsorship booms in countries such as China and Korea where sport is developing. Western businesses have struggled to make progress in these areas for years, but not any more. The business and sport alliance is global.

Haunted New Orleans
October 12, 2016 Earnest Painter
A few years ago I finally went to New Orleans. I had wanted to go for so long, and I don't know that there was a reason per se why I hadn't; I simply hadn't taken that step. But, I finally made the arrangements. We stayed in a mansion converted into a bed & breakfast. We drove in, parked the car and didn't use it again until we drove away.
One of the things that I had on my list of things to do (about the only thing) was the tour of the Garden District. The highlight of that tour was the cemetery. It is fascinating how they bury above the ground, and how they manage to get generations of families into the same tomb. The history of the city seems to be epitomized here – with the white marble, the weathered iron gate, the various stages of decomposure of the tombs themselves. Some had been renovated; some replaced and some were little more than piles of rubble. But, the names remain, the stories remain - those of the people and the city they inhabited. Somebody really had to think outside of the box to figure out a way to keep their dead from floating away in the inevitable flooding. They went against centuries of traditional European burials and created a way to keep their citizens safe from the diseases that could be brought about by corpses floating haphazardly through the streets. But, was it only that?
As we walked through the French Quarter we noticed that places for rent or sale all indicated –on the real estate signs – whether or not the building was haunted. I suppose that in New Orleans some people might insist on a genuine haunting before shelling over money for rent, just to get the full experience. I read that basically every hotel in the city has either claimed to be haunted or has had the claim made for it. I have to wonder if, aside from keeping the dead buried, the tombs were an attempt to keep the spirits and spectres in the graveyard and away from the residents. Looking through some of my pictures from that trip I think I discovered why so much of the city is haunted.
Rows of tombs, with centuries of names written in marble.
They can't keep nature from encroaching on their structures, especially in such a tropical place as New Orleans, La
The weathered tombs were what I really came to New Orleans to see.
I'm beginning to see why there are so many ghosts in this very old city.
Is it really any surprise, after all?
They've basically left the door open for the spirits to come be with them in the streets.
It's too late to undo the damage done by allowing the their tombs to fall into disrepair. They may be able to make the city and its cemeteries more presentable with a concerted effort to fix them, but centuries of ghosts are already loose – wreaking havoc or simply reveling with the visitors. The ghosts are as much, or more, a part of New Orleans as the current residents, and they add a texture of their own to the spirit of the city, much like the architecture adds to the landscape. It's best to accept them, to incorporate them into the lore and the way of life.
There are many other places I want to visit, but I need to visit New Orleans again. I need to see the old buildings, drink the coffee, eat the food. Mostly, I need to go be with the tombs. I need to see the crumbling bricks and weather-stained marble. I need to sit with the spirits and listen to their stories. It's a world so different than my own. One trip wasn't nearly enough. There's so much left to learn.

Mi Vecino, Lindo y Querido
August 11, 2015 eArnie Painter
About twenty years ago I hopped on a plane with a friend and we went to visit his grandmother. It was just after Christmas – coming up on Epiphany. We stayed for a while with his grandmother and his mother, who was already there taking care of her. I met some aunts of his and a couple of cousins. We got on a bus and went into a town in the mountains and spent a couple of days there. Then we went to a ranch with his family and celebrated Epiphany, or as they called it, El Dia de los Reyes Magos.
My friend's family is from San Luis Potosí, SLP, Mexico. We had flown into Mexico City, taken our lives in our hands in a taxi that took us to the first bus to SLP to visit Abuela, and after a few days taken another bus to Guanajuato. I loved that city. It seems like it was a Pre-Columbian town because I didn't see the typical Roman layout to the city. San Luis Potosí has streets and avenues running N/S and E/W, with central parks and official building surrounding them. Guanajuato has narrow streets that go this way and that, curving up and around hills and never crossing each other again, so that if you took a wrong turn you'd have to just turn around, because there didn't seem to be much in the way of going around a block to get back to where you started. But, there were ancient buildings that are several stories high because they are built on the side of a mountain, so there are several "ground floor" entrances. My friend took me to an area where there were booths serving food, and as soon as we walked by we were assaulted by an orchestra of "Psst! Psst!" with women waving us to their booths. My friend was the expert and walked around until he found one that suited us, not responding to their calls of what they were serving, but waiting to decide which was best. It's a good thing, too, because I would have caved at the first person to demand that I eat at her booth – not that her food wouldn't have been delicious but I probably wouldn't have had the pollo con mole that I was looking for. My friend was prepared for how pushy they are and he knew that the proper response was to not respond.
A few years later I decided that I needed to see Mexico again. So, I put some clothes into a bag and boarded a Greyhound that took me to Laredo where I switched to a Mexican bus line that took me to Monterrey. At the border, before I was allowed to enter Mexico, the Mexican officer interviewing me asked me for identification. I produced my Texas driver license. He told me that I should either bring a passport, or both a driver license and a birth certificate. Then he told me to enjoy myself. I spent several days walking the city, visiting the mercados, buying food and art. Monterrey is close enough that I could just go for a few days, then when I felt homesick I came back, with every intention of visiting again.
In 2005 the police chief in Nuevo Laredo (the Laredo on the Mexican side of the border) was gunned down on his first day on the job. A quote from CNN reads, "The police chief of the violent Mexican border town of Nuevo Laredo has been missing for days, and state authorities are trying to find him..." The violent town of Nuevo Laredo. This is a city where I had gone with friends to have margaritas and to shop. This is a town that is two hours and 19 minutes from my home city of San Antonio.
In 2006 The US began building a fence along the border between Mexico and the US, focusing on sites of known illegal crossings.
In September of 2014, 43 students went missing in Iguala, a town in the Mexican state of Guerrero. (A painfully appropriate name.) They are presumed dead and the town's mayor and his wife have been arrested. They were among Mexico's most wanted while they were fugitives (in Mexico City) after fleeing Iguala directly following the kidnappings. The 43 students – who had arrived to hold a protest at a conference in the town, held by the mayor's wife – had been arrested by the Iguala police, then transferred to another police department, which then handed them over to a criminal organization. The students were transported to a dump and the ones who did not die en route were interrogated and then killed. Finding the students turned up a mass grave with other murders, all suspected to be done at the command of the mayor's wife.
Now I listen to our politicians fight for stronger border security, harsher treatment of illegal aliens and a general isolationist sentiment with regards to our neighbor to the south. And I just think, What happened? I know what happened – drugs happened. An illegal drug market in the US that is being supplied through Mexico, but more to the point, the violence, corruption and instability that goes along with such a lucrative illegal market. It's the Prohibition era mobs, but on a grander scale. But, still I wonder. We are in the Middle East toppling governments and rebuilding them. Why can't we do anything about our neighbors? Why build a fence and take such harsh action against illegal immigrants who are fleeing such a hostile environment? Why can't we address the source of the problem? I'm not presuming to know how to do this, but I'm not a diplomat or part of the State Department.
When I read social media I find so much hate. So much hate for illegal immigrants. So much vehemence about border security and building this God-forsaken fence between the US and Mexico. Again I think, why? Why can't we go to the source of the problems? There is a civil war going on in Mexico that its government doesn't seem able to keep up with. If we can send soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan, can't we do something about the country that is two hours and nineteen minutes from my home city of San Antonio, TX?
Rather than fighting Mexico, I wish, I wish that we could have a relationship with them like we had before. A relationship where I could hop on a bus and go to Monterrey for a few days and visit their artisans, eat their food an talk with their people. There are Mayan ruins that I haven't gotten around to visiting. There are cities that I haven't visited. I need to brush up on my Spanish by talking with people there. And that's what they are; they are people. When I read some of the comments on social media I wonder if those commenters realize that they are talking about human beings. It's easy to hide beind the screens of our computers and our devices. But, if we could put those things aside and look around we would see people, people who are trying to make the best of a bad situation, trying to make a better life for themselves and for their children – just like us. I long to talk with these people and build a closer relationship between their country and mine. I long to do this with every fiber of my being.
