Police turn to G4S to staff murder inquiries
My story on police privatisation made the front page of the Sunday Times this weekend.
Since hundreds of experienced police officers were forced to retire under regulation A19 in 2010/11, there has been a boom in demand for so-called 'civilian investigators' in the police.
They are not warranted cops, and as such are not able to make arrests, and they are usually private contractors to the police hired via an agency like Adecco or G4S.
Home Secretary Teresa May has always insisted that "core police functions" will always be done by officers, but the adverts I found online suggested that these boundaries are being pushed further than ever before.
G4S is advertising for 'senior investigating officers' (SIOs), a role in the police force that describes the officer heading up a major inquiry into crimes like murder, kidnapping or rape. A handbook by the Association of Chief Police Officers describes the role of SIO in a homicide investigation as "potentially one of the most complex and challenging positions within the Police Service".
G4S confirmed it had been asked to place the adverts, but declined to identify the force(s) or how many of the 29,000 'police-skilled' individuals on its books had applied.
The Home Office argues that police forces may make savings by hiring in experienced staff only temporarily, but most staff hired in this way (who will be private contractors, who have their pay/contracts organised by G4S) will be former policemen, already in receipt of a police pension.
A former superintendent who was forced to step down after 30 years' service will be in receipt of around £40,000 a year in pension payments.

Chris Coons on Jobs
People not taking jobs because of high cost of day care
Let me focus on why those people dropped out of the workforce. It's the high cost of daycare. I have folks who work for me who are paying more for daycare than they are for their mortgage, and the challenge is finding ways to care for our seniors, our children, to provide for a lower cost of health care are exactly why we're now going to move forward with President Biden's Build Back Better agenda and get people back to work. Source: Fox News Sunday 2021 interview of Delaware Senator , Oct 10, 2021
Unemployment hasn't doubled in two years; O'Donnell is lying
O'DONNELL: We have to keep in mind my opponent has a history of promising not to raise taxes on the campaign trail and then break those promises as soon as he takes office. Unemployment here in New Castle County rose, almost doubled in the last two years under his watch as New Castle county executive.
COONS: I also frankly can't imagine where she found the numbers that unemployment doubled in just the past year under my watch. I suspect we're going to need to keep a close eye this evening on the numbers that go flying back and forth.
Q: Let's ask her, where did you get those numbers?
O'DONNELL: The Department of Labor statistics. And we'll have them on our web site by tomorrow.
COONS: I think it's important to look closely at some of the things Ms. O'Donnell's thrown out on her new web site. Most of them are untrue. Some of them are flat-out lies. Some of them are mischaracterizations. Much of how you've characterized my record is incorrect. Source: CNN's Wolf Blitzer moderating 2010 Delaware Senate debate , Oct 13, 2010
Raise the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour by 2016.
Coons co-sponsored Minimum Wage Fairness Act
Congressional summary: Increases the federal minimum wage for employees to:
$8.20 an hour beginning 6 months after enactment
$9.15 an hour beginning 1 year later,
$10.10 an hour beginning 2 years later, and
an amount determined by increases in the Consumer Price Index, beginning annually after 3 years.
Increases the federal minimum wage for tipped employees to $3.00 an hour beginning 6 months after enactment, with annual CPI adjustments.
Proponent's argument in favor (RaiseTheMinimumWage.com): The federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour remains decades out of date, and the federal minimum wage for tipped workers--$2.13 per hour--has not increased in over 20 years. The minimum wage of the past provided significantly more buying power than it does today. The minimum wage of $1.60 an hour in 1968 would be $10.56 today when adjusted for inflation.
Opponent's argument against: (Neil King in Wall Street Journal, Feb. 24, 2014): The CBO concluded that a jump in the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour could eliminate 500,000 jobs. For Republicans, the report provided ammunition that a higher minimum wage would kill jobs. Democrats pointed to the CBO's findings that the higher wage would lift 900,000 people out of poverty. But both sides missed a key finding: That a smaller hike from the current $7.25 to $9.00 an hour would cause almost no pain, and still lift 300,000 people out of poverty while raising the incomes of 7.6 million people.
Congressional Budget Office report: Once fully implemented, the $10.10 option would reduce total employment by about 500,000 workers, or 0.3%. Some people earning slightly more than $10.10 would also have higher earnings, due to the heightened demand for goods and services. The increased earnings for low-wage workers would total $31 billion. Accounting for all increases and decreases, overall real income would rise by $2 billion.

Let Senate cafeteria workers organize their own union.
Coons signed unionizing Senate cafeteria workers
Excerpts from Letter from 31 Senators to the Compass Group: Senate cafeteria workers are currently pushing for a union through the majority sign up process, but their employer, the Compass Group, has resisted the drive, even after the NLRB upheld charges against the company regarding discriminatory behavior. Although the Compass Group promised the NRLB they would end further unlawful intimidation, the Compass Group has discouraged their organizing campaign.
We request there that the Compass Group commit to reaching an agreement with the union seeking to organize these workers, and recognize the union as the worker's exclusive bargaining representative on the basis of majority representation of signed authorization cards.
OnTheIssues explanation: At issue is how the workers would unionize: the controversial aspect is the "majority of authorization cards," known as "card-check," which makes unionization much more likely.
Opposing argument: (Cato Institute, "Labor's Day is Over," Sep. 6/2009): Card-check would effectively abolish the secret ballot in workplace elections for union representation. It would also require employers to submit to binding government arbitration if they cannot reach an agreement with union representatives, forcing companies to submit to contracts that may imperil their very survival.
Opposing freedom argument: (Heritage Foundation, "Card Checks Block Free Choice," Feb. 21, 2007): Union activists argue that publicly signing a union membership card in the presence of union organizers, known as card-check organizing, is the only way that workers can freely choose to unionize. However, with card checks, union organizers know who has and has not signed up to join the union. This allows them to repeatedly approach and pressure reluctant workers. With this technique, a worker's decision to join the union is binding, while a decision to opt out only means "not this time." Source: Letter to Compass Group 15LTR-COM on Nov 13, 2015
Sponsored bill for strengthening union organizing.
Coons co-sponsored PRO Act
H.R.842 & S.420: Protecting the Right to Organize Act: This bill expands various labor protections related to employees' rights to organize and collectively bargain in the workplace:
revises the definitions of employee, supervisor, and employer to broaden the scope of individuals covered by the fair labor standards;
permits labor organizations to encourage participation of union members in strikes initiated by employees represented by a different labor organization (i.e., secondary strikes); and
prohibits employers from bringing claims against unions that conduct such secondary strikes.
The bill also allows collective bargaining agreements to require all employees represented by the bargaining unit to contribute fees to the labor organization for the cost of such representation.
Biden Administration in SUPPORT: The Administration strongly supports The PRO Act. America was not built by Wall Street. It was built by the middle class, and unions built the middle class. Unions put power in the hands of workers. H.R. 842 would strengthen and protect workers' right to form a union by assessing penalties on employers who violate workers' right to organize.
Rep. Mo Brooks in OPPOSITION: H.R. 842 [is] a radical union bill that tramples the rights of citizens by forcing them to enter into union servitude, including:
Overturns right-to-work laws in 27 states, thereby forcing citizens, against their will, to pay millions of dollars in dues to labor unions.
Denies citizens' rights to vote by secret ballot on whether to join a union by imposing a biased "card-check" scheme.
Deprives individuals of entrepreneurial opportunities. The PRO Act would eliminate the franchise industry and sharing economy as we know them.
Legislative Outcome:Passed House 222-204-4 (Rollcall 82) on 03/09/2021; received and read in the Senate on 3/23; no further Senate action during 2021. Source: H.R.842/S.420 21-HR842 on Feb 4, 2021

Producing wine for forty years on the Leelanau peninsula
Honoring Our Forefathers
As important part of our family history, we wanted to highlight the fathers behind Good Harbor Vineyards and Harbor Hill Fruit Farms. As a third-generation farming family on the Leelanau Peninsula, there isn't a day that goes by where we don't think about the hard work, vision and sacrifice of our grandparents and parents and realize the great responsibility of working to make sure the farm continues to grow and succeed.
John W. Simpson
John Simpson, the founding father of Harbor Hill Fruit Farms and Good Harbor Vineyards, was an entrepreneur at heart and a visionary with a focus on community. He and his wife, Millie, had family ties to the Leelanau Peninsula and decided to make the Leelanau Peninsula their permanent residence in the mid 1950s. John Simpson started and ran a successful construction company in Indianapolis for years but decided to sell the company to move North and establish roots for his family.
With the sale of his company, John purchased large amounts of acreage on the Leelanau Peninsula to use for farming as well as real estate. He saved the premier farming sites for the family, and through the years, sold the remaining real estate to home buyers. John's vision to get into fruit farming first started with fruit trees, predominantly pears and plums, to sell as produce to Gerber.
As cherries became a larger focus of growth and marketability, John replaced the existing fruit trees with cherries. Harbor Hill Fruit Farms was the original farming entity created in the 1970s and continues to run and operate the vineyards today. In the 1970s following his oldest son's graduation from Michigan State University, John saw the need to diversify the family farm and offered his son, Bruce, the opportunity to go study grape growing and winemaking in California, at the University of California, Davis.
He wanted his family to be able to remain in farming and saw potential in the grape growing and winemaking industry. Following Bruce's return to the Leelanau Peninsula, he and his wife Millie, along with Bruce and daughter-in-law Debbie, built and opened Good Harbor Vineyards, which became the 4th commercial winery on the Leelanau Peninsula.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, John continued with his support of the community beyond the family business. He was one of the lead lobbyists pushing to make the Leland Harbor a Harbor of refuge, in hopes of increasing commerce and tourism for the community. He also was a lead fundraiser to create the Leelanau Children's Center, which is a vital operation of high-quality early childhood education within Leland. In addition, he was a lead fundraiser and spearheaded the finances to build and create the Leland Library. John Simpson believed in family, community, and education. He lived his life leading by example and instilling his values in his family and community.
D. Bruce Simpson
Bruce Simpson, John's Simpson, eldest son, was not afraid of hard work from a childhood of growing up working on the family farm. He had an immense love of learning and very much enjoyed the science and innovation that existed in agriculture and winemaking. Bruce grew up on the Leelanau Peninsula and then attended Michigan State University, where he graduated with a degree in agriculture. He appreciated the opportunity to attend the University of California, Davis to learn about viticulture and oenology.
Upon finishing his program, he and his wife, Debbie, returned to the Leelanau Peninsula with a plan to plant vineyards and open a winery with the help of his father John and mother Millie. They started small and continued to increase production throughout the years.
Bruce understood the need to help grow the Michigan wine industry through means other than a tasting room. He was one of the founding members and creators of the Leland Wine Festival, which is the oldest running wine festival in Michigan. He was also one of the original members of the Michigan Grape and Wine Council, which was a government appointed organization with a focus on increasing awareness of the Michigan wine industry back in the 1980s. In addition, he was one of the founding members of the Leelanau Peninsula Vintners Association, which continues today with a focus on promoting the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail in hopes of increasing agriculture-based tourism.
Bruce was a leader in the Michigan wine industry but incredibly humble and modest. Throughout his time spent operating and growing Good Harbor Vineyards, he met with many other business owners to help provide advice and winemaking assistance to help new wineries get started in the business in hopes of growing a flourishing Michigan wine industry. Much like his father, Bruce was a man who loved his family and community. He led by example, displaying kindness to others, maintaining patience and a cool collected demeanor at all times. He worked hard to start, operate, and grow a winery as well continuing to operate a large scale fruit farm, always making sure he took good care of his employees.
Samuel T. Simpson
Following in his father's and grandfather's footsteps, Sam Simpson, is the current President of Harbor Hill Fruit Farms and Good Harbor Vineyards.
Much like his grandfather, Sam was an entrepreneur from an early age. His entrepreneurial spirit started with a roadside cherry stand when he was seven. Later in high-school, he started his own landscaping company, which was a success until he could no longer operate it due to college and a change in life plans.
Sam spent much of his middle school and early high school years working on the cherry farm in the summers. He had an immense work ethic instilled in him from his time spent working with his father and also learning from his grandfather. He learned the importance of showing up first and being the last to leave. He learned you must lead by example and as such, you must be willing to do the hard jobs and continue to value those who do those jobs day-in and day-out.
Sam's plan was not to work on the family farm directly following his graduation from Michigan State, but rather, to head into corporate finance with a job already lined up. His plans changed drastically with the early passing of his father, Bruce Simpson, changing the course of his life. He and his sister both moved home to take over the family farm and make sure it continued to run.
A few years into his return, Sam saw a need in the wine industry for a farming service and created Harbor Hill Vineyard Services to fill the demand in the market. Today, it is the largest vineyard service operating on the Leelanau Peninsula, servicing a total of 300 acres.
Sam noticed another gap in the marketplace: mobile wine bottling. After further research, he launched the only mobile wine bottling service in the midwest, The Harbor Hill Mobile Bottling service. It has become a resource that many wineries now rely on for their bottling needs.
Like his father and grandfather, Sam continued to look for ways to support wineries in the region. He created custom crush services, noting the need to service the growing number of tasting rooms, leveraging the existing footprint of Good Harbor Vineyards in a similar fashion to what Bruce had done previously.
Sam loved and admired his grandfather and father and works hard every day to create and grow the business that was created through their hard work and vision. His love of his family and community continue to remain a focus in his life. It is this love that pushes him to look for opportunities to sustainably grow the existing business, grow and promote Michigan agriculture, instill a strong work ethic in his own children. He continues to volunteer his time with the local government to advocate for farmers and a local organization that focuses on early childhood education.
We salute the fathers behind Good Harbor Vineyards and Harbor Hill Fruit Farms and celebrate the vital role that fathers play in all of our lives.

Dusted & Disgusted
Long before social media was a thing, before blogging had a name and even before dialup internet was a thing of the past, I had a site on AOL. See, that's how long ago I'm talking about. AOL was the thing. The first thing I wrote about was a local tragedy, in which three high school girls were killed in a car accident. At the time, I was working at Kinko's (another thing that's no longer a thing) and a girl came in with eyes puffy from hours of sobbing. She was the sister of one of the girls who died, and wanted to make some sort of necklaces with her sister's photo laminated as the pendent. That night I went home and spilled my guts on my first post.
The next time I was moved to write anything was 8,436 days ago, on April 20th, 1999. That was Columbine. Watching kids flea from a school that looked a lot like the school I had attended, was one of those moments where you remember exactly what you were doing and where you were.
And the thing is, back then, it took a little more effort to find people online. But after I posted my thoughts, I wanted to find survivors from Columbine, and share my words with them. Borderline stalker-ish behavior, I get it. Hey, we all have our gifts.
I found one, and he left a comment on my guestbook, which I luckily have access to through archive.org.
"Don't let this repeat," Zack begged. "Let this be the last!!" As if he knew what was coming in the decades after. And we failed Zack. Along with every other soul that has been lost, and every parent who buried their child, every sibling who grew up with a hole the size of the solar system in their heart and every student/teacher/parent who worried if it would happen to them. We failed everyone and everything.
Our society is a failure.
I'm sorry, Zack.

UK's Network Rail to upgrade Ashford Bowdler level crossing
UK's rail infrastructure operator Network Rail is set to upgrade the Ashford Bowdler level crossing in Shropshire in a bid to improve safety at level crossings.
UK's rail infrastructure operator Network Rail is set to upgrade the Ashford Bowdler level crossing in Shropshire in a bid to improve safety at level crossings.
Under this project, the current half barriers of the level crossing will be replaced by full barriers.
This development is part of a £75m project to modernise the railway between Newport and Shrewsbury. This will also see the installation of new signalling technology along the route.
"It's really important that the community have their say on the options and we will always take their views on board."
According to Network Rail, this decision to upgrade was taken following a consultation exercise with the local community. In addition to the upgrade option, the operator also explored the possibility of closing the crossing.
Network Rail operations risk adviser Christine Booth said: "There are a number of options available to improve safety, including upgrade and closure. It's really important that the community have their say on the options and we will always take their views on board.
"After meeting with the community in Ashford Bowdler, we have decided upgrading the crossing is the best option to balance the need of improving safety with the concerns of local residents if the crossing was downgraded or closed."
In January, the operator held a public meeting in Ashford Bowdler to present the options and listen to the views of the local community.
Network Rail has recently decided to install collision protection beams on a railway bridge in Stoke-on-Trent to reduce the risk of damage during accidents.

The volunteers organising the event are all determined to make this years Crank Up a success and said that it would be dedicated to the memory of Tom O'Meara, a devoted member and friend for more than 10 years.
The group spoke as one in saying that the best way to honour Tom's memory and devotion was to make this Crank Up the biggest one ever and for as many locals as possible to attend the event Tom was very passionate about.
Crank Up is on the weekend of 6-7 April and this year marks its forty-third running, which last year drew more than 2,200 people. All of the favourite attractions are back with a balance between the historical side and plenty of things to keep the kids involved, like the animal petting farm.
The ever popular exhibition by the Yarra Valley Preservation Society running vintage engines and machinery of all types, big and small, will provide all the noise, banging and whirring that typifies every Crank Up.
The steam engines will be chugging away along with a team of draught horses pulling sleds around and many other working demonstrations, including blacksmiths, chainsaw sculpture and old mechanical saws.
Community involvement is a big part of Crank Up and groups such as the CFA, Red Cross and U3A will have stalls over the weekend as well as many arts and crafts activities.
There will be plenty of food and drinks from the barbeque run by society members and the monster raffle and the under 15s naming competition.

Call to Appreciation of Compassion
Living in the Image of God M02S08
When God calls a person to provide goods or service to benefit another, he also calls the other to appreciate the act of compassion. Appreciation initiates a process toward realizing the long-term benefits of human service by motivating a hunger to be good to others, sensitivity to others' needs, and a disposition to accept and complete responsibility in a subsequent call to compassion. Thus, appreciation unlocks the long-term benefits of human service by empowering the receiver of an act of compassion to motivate self and others as the initiating link in a potentially infinite network of provider-receiver relationships.
Call to Appreciation of Compassion 9:48
A call to compassion invokes a complementary call to appreciation. That is, when God calls a person to provide for the needs of another, he also calls the other to appreciate the act of compassion. Thus, a call to compassion establishes a provider-receiver relationship and assigns responsibility to the candidate provider as well as the candidate receiver. Your responsibility as the candidate provider is to recognize the need, care about the needy, commit to doing what you can, and persevere in seeking to alleviate the need. The receiver responsibility is to appreciate the act of compassion. That is, receive the provided goods or service with appreciation.
Appreciation initiates a process toward realizing the long-term benefits of human service. An act of compassion provides a short-term benefit of addressing the immediate need of the beneficiary and, in addition, sows the seed for long-term benefits that are dependent on the receiver's appreciation. By appreciating the act of compassion, the receiver is motivated to seek to be good to others and sensitive to their needs. As a result, he or she is motivated to accept and complete responsibility in a future call to compassion. By doing so, he or she motivates another that motivates yet another: in a potentially infinite network of provider-receiver relationships. Thus, appreciation motivates the receiver of human service to "go and do likewise" [Luke 10:37] toward fulfilling God's purpose for the distribution of human service.
This bible study focuses on understanding the relationship between compassion and appreciation in fulfilling God's purpose for provider-receiver relationships among people. Subsequent studies will discuss Christ teaching and other information in the bible to understand the role of appreciation in human interactions and relationships.
Call to Appreciation
In a Call to Compassion, God directs a person to provide goods or service to benefit another. The call establishes a provider-receiver relationship and assigns responsibility to the candidate provider as well as the candidate receiver. As the candidate provider, your responsibility is to recognize the need, care about the needy, commit to doing what you can, and persevere in seeking to alleviate the need. The receiver responsibility is to appreciate the act of compassion. That is, receive the provided goods or service with appreciation.
BLESSING OR PUNISHMENT God's promise of blessing for completing responsibilities in a call to compassion (Matthew 25:34–36) applies to the provider as blessing for compassion and to the receiver as blessing for the appreciation of compassion. Also, his promise of punishment for declining responsibilities in a call to compassion (Matthew 25:41–43) applies to the candidate provider as punishment for refusing a call to compassion and to the receiver as punishment for refusing to appreciate an act of compassion.
The provider responsibility and receiver responsibility in a call to compassion are complementary and important to God's plan for the distribution of human service. The appreciation of an act of compassion is like completing responsibilities in several future calls to compassion. Similarly, declining appreciation of an act of compassion is like declining responsibilities in several future calls to compassion.
Provider-Receiver Functions
By completing responsibility in a call to compassion, the provider alleviates the immediate need of the receiver. Also, the provider sows the seed for an infinite chain of provider-receiver relationships. The seed depends on the receiver appreciation: will germinate if the receiver appreciates the act of compassion but will die in place if the receiver does not appreciate the act of compassion.
The receiver appreciation motivates him or her to hunger and thirst to do likewise. As a result, the receiver is motivated to be sensitive to the needs of others and disposed to accept and complete responsibility in a future call to compassion. Thus, appreciation motivates the receiver to motivate another and yet another, in a potentially infinite network of provider-receiver relationships.
Long-Term Benefits of Human Service
The short-term benefit of human service is that the provider alleviates the immediate need of the receiver. The long-term benefits arise from the infinite network of provider-receiver relationships initiated by the receiver appreciation. The long-term benefits are incubated, birthed, and launched by receiver appreciation of the short-term benefit. That is, the receiver appreciation of the short-term benefit unlocks the long-term benefits of human service.
Infinite Network of Provider-Receiver Relationships
The receiver appreciation of an act of compassion motivates him or her to "go and do likewise" [Luke 10:37]. As a result, he or she is motivated to be sensitive to the needs of others and to accept and complete responsibility in a future call to compassion. Thus, the receiver appreciation motivates him or her to motivate another that motivates yet another—to a potentially infinite network of provider-receiver relationships.
The Appreciating Receiver
The receiver's appreciation completes his or her responsibility in a call to compassion. That is, appreciation completes what God asks of the receiver (also known as the beneficiary) in a call to compassion. The appreciating receiver nurtures, initiates, and propagates the long-term benefits of human service.
He or she is blessed as a link in an infinite network of provider-receiver relationships.
A Taker of Human Service
In contrast to the appreciating receiver, a taker declines the receiver responsibility in a call to compassion-appreciation. He or she receives but does not appreciate an act of compassion. That is, a taker receives the short-term benefit of human service but declines to nurture or initiate the long-term benefits. Consequently, human service dies in a taker.
The taker earns a promise of punishment for declining responsibility in a call to compassion-appreciation.
Summary of What We Learned
When God calls a person to provide goods or service to benefit another, he also calls the other to appreciate the act of compassion. Appreciation initiates a process toward realizing the long-term benefits of human service by motivating a hunger to be good to others, sensitivity to others' needs, and a disposition to accept and complete responsibility in a subsequent call to compassion.
Thus, appreciation unlocks the long-term benefits of human service by empowering the receiver of an act of compassion to motivate self and others as the initiating link in a potentially infinite network of provider-receiver relationships.
Study Guide with Notes

Blessing Does Not Seek Perfection
The invitation to earn blessing through human service is open to every person irrespective of sin or righteousness. A person can earn blessing despite existing promise of punishment. Also, a person can incur punishment despite existing promise of blessing. Thus, one does not need to be perfect to earn blessing. Blessing and punishment are parallel promises of God, may coexist for a person, and will be fulfilled separately by God's schedule as if for different people, excepting the forgiveness of punishment through repentance.
Christ Teaches Appreciation—Woman with Persistent Bleeding
Interactions with woman healed of persistent bleeding indicate testimony and appreciation are important to God as opportunities to initiate long-term benefits to an increasing population. The woman was healed privately by touching Jesus and could have gone home without interacting with the public if healing her was the only important outcome. However, Jesus stopped activities until she testified publicly and showed appreciation. Her appreciation and testimony were important for motivating her and others to hunger and thirst for righteousness, thus initiating benefits of the healing that potentially could reach countless others.

I cross the NY-PA border just a few miles from the motel I stayed in last night. As borders go, crossing into a different American state is about as anticlimactic as you can get: just a sign on the side of the road to mark the passage. I feel this one though, it means I'm going beyond the familiar New England states, entering into the unknown; a sort of point from which there is no turning back. My feeling is not grounded in logic -- I've been through Pennsylvania a few times before on the motorcycle; I could turn around at any time; I could hop on a bus; etc... -- but faced with too much time to think while I push the pedals I've conjured up this imaginary barrier. My trepidation at facing a wet and cold day fuels the vague sense of dread.
First thing this morning I'm crossing into Pennsylvania.
New state notwithstanding, nothing much as changed. I'm still in the rural northeast with its cornfields, woods, and white clapboard houses. Rain comes on and off for most of the morning but I never get wet enough to consider seeking shelter.
A touch of blue sky over the corn fields.
After noon I ride through an Amish area. They are unfailingly friendly, always a wave and a smile when I cross a buggy going in either direction. An incongruous detail on their horse-drawn carriages: they have electric turn signals. I'm not very familiar with the rules of their religion but I come across another scene that is striking for its juxtaposition: a field where a man in traditional Amish clothing is leading a horse who in turn is dragging a gasoline-powered plough through the dirt. I'm left wondering why engines are not allowed for driving but okay for plowing.
Amish buggies at a farm.
Tobacco drying in a barn.
The rain gets steadier late in the day. I find a secluded spot in the woods off of the road and set up camp in the rain. I make dinner in the atrium of the tent, managing to stay mostly dry.

Who's Making the Trip to Illinois and Who's Not
Mike Riley met with the media following practice on Wednesday in what amounts to a short week for his 2-2 Huskers as they prepare to take on Illinois in Champaign on Friday night. Riley is very pleased how his team handled the short week and the change to their routine. The injury report was long enough that Riley had to bring a list of players, but he gave the full rundown.
"Stanley Morgan practiced more than he has today. Whether or not he will be able to go full-time-starter like he does when he's healthy, I don't know yet. Bryan Reimers he practiced today which is encouraging . . . He will travel. If a guy's traveling, I generally expect that he will play. Tyrin Ferguson is probably still up in the air, but looked good today and felt the best he's felt. He showed some confidence so maybe he'll be going. Cole Conrad practiced, David Knevel practiced, Matt Farniok practiced although he's limited with the big club. Tre Bryant will not play, Marcus Newby will not play, Kalu will not play."
Riley also added that they will discuss more as a staff what to do on the offensive line in regards to reinserting Cole Conrad and David Knevel with an announcement coming Friday.
In more injury news, after Chris Jones was spotted with a helmet on yesterday and went to social media to say how good he felt, Riley was asked about an update to the timetable for the senior's return to the Blackshirts.
"He is surprising the medical staff with where he is," Riley said. "He has really been testing at a high level. So without being overly ambitious in my statement [I'm] optimistic. I'm also encouraged. With a long lay off, the one thing you have to remember is there is a difference in being cleared and ready. Whatever the question is about Chris it's encouraging."
All in all Riley says the depth issues will basically come down to staying healthy with the guys they have and having their guys come back and Jones could be part of that picture.
Last week, redshirt freshman JD Spielman led the team in receiving with 5 catches for 46 yards and a touchdown. Riley had some good things to say about what he has seen from him in his first year playing.
"The thing I love about JD is that he is unfazed about where he is. He's very competitive, he's comfortable with getting in these games and competing. He doesn't appear to be phased by it all and makes plays. I'm real excited for him, about him and how he can continue to impact the game. He's done it in special teams and he's made some nice plays. The slot back position in the offense carries some real responsibility particularly on third down so we are relying on him."
There wasn't a lot of talk about new interim Athletic Director Dave Rimington or "50" as he was referred to in his introductory press conference but Riley did talk about them getting to know each other today over lunch.
"I got to be in a meeting before the press conference with all the coaches where Ronnie Green introduced Dave and that was really well done. Then I actually met with him for about an hour during the lunch period, just talk to talk and kind of learn more about each other. Ive met him before but this was the first time we got to talk where there was quiet time. It was very good. He's seems like a great person. Obviously a unique individual when you actually have an award named after you. I'm very respectful of that. It was great talking football."

I wasn't really intending on going for a certain 'look' for Spring, but before I realised what had happened I had suddenly developed a pretty distinct theme throughout my wardrobe: white. And I mean white on white on white. White blouses, white skirts, white shoes, white bags - I don't know how I didn't realise it when I was shopping but I kind of love it? Sure, it's a dangerous shade for a messy person like myself, but until I have a pumpkin soup-related disaster at work (or I forget to separate my whites in the wash...oops) I'm just going to keep on abusing this trend.

Charity behind British mosque that 'encouraged terrorism' is officially dissolved
#1 Top Rated Post May 5th, 2019
A charity which ran a British mosque has been dissolved after it allowed a radical Imam to tell three-year-old children martyrdom is better than school and give sermons in front of an Islamic state flag.
The Fazal Ellahi Charitable Trust was closed for 'facilitating terrorism' by the Charity Commission and its trustees Fazal Ellahi and his son Isbar were banned from running a charity in future.
It comes after radical Imam Kamran Hussian was allowed to speak at its mosque in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, over a period of four months in 2016.
Hussain was jailed for six-and-a-half years in 2017 after being convicted of six charges of encouraging terrorism and two of encouraging support for a proscribed organisation, namely Islamic state.
An inquiry, opened by the commission last year, said the trustees 'failed to properly manage, administer and protect the trust and its resources, resulting in it being used to facilitate terrorism offences'.
It was also found the trust did not have a viable future leading to its dissolution with £132,000 funds split between five charities in Stoke-on-Trent which have similar objectives.
The Charity Commission's director of investigations, Michelle Russell, said what happened was 'unacceptable' and a 'clear failing on the part of the charity's trustees as its custodians'.
'Our actions will reassure the public that abuse of this kind will not be tolerated.
'While instances of abuse of charities for terrorism are rare, such links undermine public trust and confidence in charities, and the vital work that charities do. It is right that those responsible have been held to account for their actions.'
The Fazal Ellahi Charitable Trust was set up in 2003 with the aim of 'educating all people, particularly children and young people, in the Muslim religion and Urdu language and the advancement of the Muslim religion through collective prayer meetings and otherwise'.
As part of the investigation, the Charity Commission carried out an unannounced visit and scrutinised material seized by the police including bank statements.
The report reads: 'The inquiry found that the charity's premises had been misused, by the Imam, to encourage terrorism and encourage support for a proscribed organisation, namely Islamic State.
'The fact that the sermons delivered by the Imam which resulted in his conviction were delivered over a number of months compounds the failure on the part of the charity's trustees to ensure that the charity and its property were not used for criminal purposes.
'Trustee A (Fazal Ellahi) advised that he was not aware of what the Imam had said and that there had been no complaints made about him by those in attendance at the mosque.
'It is unclear whether the trustees were present for some or all of the Imam's sermons between June and September 2016 which resulted in his conviction; irrespective of whether or not either or both of the trustees were present, the inquiry found that the trustees failed to manage the charity's resources appropriately and that their failure to do so facilitated their use for terrorist purposes.'
Hussain, 40, of Knightsbridge Way, Stoke-on-Trent, was jailed at the Old Bailey in September 2017 after anti-terror police planted an undercover officer in the Tunstall mosque.
The officer recorded 17 sermons and six were found to have 'crossed the line' by encouraging terrorism and two encouraged support for Islamic State.
The court heard Hussain would often deliver speeches in front an Islamic State flag and laud the values of terrorist groups.
In one he told the congregation: 'Inshallah...we will see the black flag rise over Big Ben and Downing Street.'
The preacher supported the virtues of killing, martyrdom and violent jihad and endorsed the efforts of those who had undertaken such acts.
And he told worshippers the UK government funded far-right groups to attack Muslims.
Hussain said: 'The kuffar (unbeliever) will attack you and kill you.
'Stand up and be ready to sacrifice, be ready to stand in the face of the elements of Shaytan (Satan), be ready to spill blood and have your blood spilt.'
It is not yet clear what the charity's dissolution means for the mosque, which had around 40 worshippers.

Re: Charity behind British mosque that 'encouraged terrorism' is officially dissolved
'Inshallah...we will see the black flag rise over Big Ben and Downing Street.'
I'm not too sure how they would be able to achieve that, apart from with the full complicity of the vast majority of the 650 MPs and 782 Lords. Although, when you take into account the cowardliness and the unpatritotic and undemocratic attitude that most of them have as we have seen in recent times over Brexit, it wouldn't surprise me if that happened.
The Commons Speaker, John Bercow, would open the doors to them and anyone who complains would be branded a "Little Englander."
Serryah
Good. This 'charity' was nothing but and IMO the speaker, this so called Imam, should be arrested and in jail right now.
(oh shit, am I still a liberal if I think this Imam needs to be in jail????)

2010s >> 2010 >> no-1273-september-2010
Engels on Human Evolution
Engels followed the impact of Darwin's ideas more closely than Marx. He may even have read Darwin "The Descent of Man".
Unlike Marx, Engels continued his interest in Darwin and things Darwinian beyond the initial general public furore created by the publication of Origin. Apart from references to Darwin in his correspondence with Marx and others, the first major piece of work Engels produced was the notes for the unfinished The Rô…le of Labour in the Transition from Ape to Man, written between May and June 1876, over five years after the publication of the Descent.
This speculative, but interesting, work which includes a strong element of Lamarckism (but even Darwin had to resort to a version of Lamarck), can be seen as a Marxian response to the "Man's place in nature" debate in at least two important ways. First of all, it attempts to show in what way humans are different from other animals. Unlike Darwin, who was eager to point to the similarities across species, to indicate the origins of typical human behaviour in a simpler form in other species, and that humans were only quantitatively different from animals, Engels was adamant in showing both the difference and similarities between humans and other animals. Whilst speculating in how human labour activity had evolved from earlier forms along with the evolution of physical organisation, and therefore within the Darwinian explanatory framework, he was also wanted to show how human labour differed from that of lower animals. Following the same line of argument he and Marx had arrived at thirty years previously in The German Ideology, he wrote:
"Animals…change the environment by their activities in the same way, even if not to the same extent, as man does, and these changes, as we have seen, in turn react upon and change those who made them…But animals exert a lasting effect on their environment unintentionally and, as far as the animals themselves are concerned, accidentally. The further removed men are from animals, however, the more their effect on nature assumes the character of premeditated, planned action directed towards preconceived ends" (Marx and Engels Collected Works, volume 25, p.459).
"In short, the animal merely uses its environment, and brings about changes in it simply by its presence; man by his changes makes it serve his ends, masters it. This is the final, essential distinction between man and other animals, and once again it is labour that brings about this distinction" (ibid., p.460).
In addition to this evolutionary explanation of the difference between human and animal labour, Engels's argument can also be seen as a materialist response to Wallace's "unseen spirit" explanation of the difference between humans and animal. Furthermore, Engels also opposed the mental materialism of Darwin, who based the difference between humans and other animals in the more developed and complex mentality of humans; a form of idealism that had dominated Western philosophy since the rise of Christianity:
"All merit for the swift advance of civilisation was ascribed to the mind, to the brain. Man became accustomed to explain their actions as arising out of thought instead of their needs (which in any case are reflected and perceived in the mind); and so in the course of time there emerged that idealistic world outlook which, especially since the fall of the world of antiquity, has dominated men's minds. It still rules them to such a degree that even the most materialistic natural scientists of the Darwinian school are still unable to form any clear idea of the origin of man, because under this ideological influence they do not recognize the part that has been played therein by labour."
Did Engels Read The Descent?
Engels seems to have kept up with the Darwinian literature on human evolution, making reference to T.H. Huxley, Ernst Haeckel, John Lubbock Charles Lyell and Alfred Russel Wallace, although it is not always clear which of their works he is referring to. So it is somewhat surprising that there is no explicit reference to The Descent or to what Darwin wrote on the matter. But seeing that he had read all these other authors, who had made their contribution before 1871, and that Darwin was the most important figure in this group, it would seem unusual that Engels would not read The Descent. Also, he had five years to read him before he started work on The Rôle of Labour in the Transition from Ape to Man in May 1876.
There is, however, some textual evidence that Engels did read The Descent. In the second paragraph of his pamphlet, Engels writes:
"Darwin has given us an approximate description of these ancestors of ours. They were completely covered with hair, they had beards and pointed ears, and they lived in bands in trees."
This description attributed to Darwin comes in part from The Descent. In Chapter 6, "On the Affinities and Genealogy of Man," Darwin writes:
"The early progenitors of man must have been once covered with hair, both sexes having beards; their ears were probably pointed, and capable of movement; and their bodies were provided with a tail, having proper muscles"
(Darwin The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, 1871; Penguin edition 2004, p.188).
The reference to "they lived in bands in trees" too seems to have come from The Descent, as Darwin writes:
"We thus learn that man is descended from a hairy, tailed quadruped, probably arboreal in habits, and an inhabitant of the Old World." (p. 678)
Therefore, unless Engels got these from another author, these two separate references provide adequate justification for thinking that Engels did read The Descent.
From Darwin to Marx: From Biology to History
Human beings possess a dual character, as both biological and historical beings, in a radically different way from any other animal.
For non-human animals, the biological, structural determination of their activity is dominant. As they get more biologically complex, they acquire the capacity for their activity to be modified by previous interactions with the world, but they live in the "now"; their activity is concerned with adjusting to the immediate circumstances they are interacting with. They have a blind past, as a species and as individual organism, but not a history.
Only humans have history. Through their linguistic ability and social co-operation, human beings have over centuries achieved (it is not nature-given) a greater degree of purpose and agency than any other species. As a result, they not only have a history, but can make history. But making history requires that the impersonal, law-like relations of the capital relationship, of production for profit, be destroyed and replaced by a free association of producers who create a world in their own interests and their own purpose. Only then will humanity shift from a determined pre-history to a determining history.

Use me when playing "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"
You're familiar with the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon", right? Kevin has worked with pretty much everyone in Hollywood. Even more people than Heidi Fleiss. In no more than six projects you can usually trace any performer back to Kevin Bacon. Well, for the serious "Kevin Bacon" player, let me add a few more links based on my involvement with him.
Granted, it's not a big involvement. On FRASIER, whenever Dr. Crane spoke to a listener on his radio show they got a celebrity to play the caller. Kevin Bacon did one for a show my partner David and I wrote.
So you can now link Kevin to any of the other unlikely celebrities I wrote for or directed.
Dr. Timothy Leary did a FRASIER phone call for one of our shows. That's right. We wrote for Dr. Timothy Leary. You'd think that would be good for some complimentary LSD at the Free Clinic, wouldn't you?
Also, we wrote jokes for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral William J. Crowe. He did a CHEERS we scripted. See, aren't I a name dropper?
Craig Ferguson guested on an episode of ALMOST PERFECT. So it's just a few steps from Kevin Bacon to Craig Ferguson's robot. Amaze your friends!
Then there are the athletes. We wrote for Wade Boggs (later to learn in his mistress' tell-all in Playboy that he only took the job for a free trip to LA to bang her), Kevin McHale (who was sensational!), and Luis Tiant. (who also would have been great if only you could understand one single solitary thing he was saying – even after sixty takes).
So in only two steps you can get from Kevin Bacon to Luis Tiant. There's a huge bar bet waiting to be won.
As a director, I had the pleasure of coaxing comic brilliance out of Karl Malone (in this case "the Mail Man" did not deliver – oy!), funnyman Mike Ditka ("a little more energy, Mike"), and Terry Bradshaw ("a little less energy, Terry. In fact, a LOT less energy. In fact, just stand there.")
Oh sure, I've worked with a lot of top flight actors but you know all of them and could probably get to Kevin Bacon through other paths. The real challenge comes when someone throws Art Garfunkel at you (FRASIER caller), or you're at the national finals and for the world's championship you're given the name Bombo the orangutan (did a JUST SHOOT ME I directed).
So use me. Be my guest. It's my little way of Paying It Forward. The only thing disconcerting about providing this useful public service is that all these celebrities that I worked with so intimately over the years – I bet not one remembers me and knows who I am. But that's okay. I'm sure Bombo doesn't know who Kevin Bacon is either.
When I was 15, I sang with a group of kids (to mostly old people at a resturant in NJ) and one of the kids was Calista Flockhart, who was in 'Telling Lies In America' with Kevin Bacon.
So that means I'm 2 degrees away from Ken!
Friday question...I somehow voluneered to write some 'skits' for this fundraiser my theatre (Dead Playwrights Repertory - shamless plug!) is doing, and now I'm panicking. They will be Shakespeare related, and hopefully funny. Can you give me some calming words of writerly wisdom to help get me started? (or a ritch Hollywood patron to support us so I don't have to do this?)
You'd think that with a name like Bombo, he would have made appearances in any number of Kevin Bacon movies.
Cantara Christopher said...
Stemming from one movie I did over thirty years ago, I'm three degrees from Kevin Bacon.
Mary Stella said...
Kevin Bacon once swam with dolphins where I work and I've met you, read your blog and read your book. I feel so connected!
Kevin Arbouet said...
Real players of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" are only allowed to use movies.
Television is strictly off limits.
Chris D said...
I had to write a guest appearance for Jerry Springer once. I had someone slug him in the jaw.
I remember reading of links between Kevin Bacon, Jon Hamm, and Joseph Bologna - but can't recall the number of degrees.
DaveMB said...
Any math nerds reading this should check out the article on "Erdos-Bacon number" in Wikipedia. To have an EB number you need to connect to Kevin Bacon through movies and to the prolific late Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdos through mathematical papers. Natalie Portman and Danica McKellar have them as both wrote math papers as undergraduates. The lowest known EB number is Dan Kleitman of MIT, who wrote a math paper with Erdos and was the technical advisor for Good Will Hunting, appearing in the movie as an extra. (Bacon number of 2, through Minnie Driver.)
I have an Erdos number of 3, since I've written papers with people who have written papers with people who have written papers with Erdos. I've been in community theatre with several people who have Bacon numbers of 2, but as I've never been in a movie I don't make it by the strict definition.
One of the first jobs I ever worked on (as a PA) was a Fenway Franks commercial starring Luis Tiant. His only line was "It's great to be with a wiener." Of course, the whole joke was supposed to be his pronunciation - i.e. you were supposed to think he was trying to say "winner" but was pronouncing it "weeener".
He couldn't do it. He could only say "winner". For 90 takes.
Eduardo Jencarelli said...
I gotta be honest. I always HATED that Kevin Bacon game. No particular reason as to why, I just could never stand it.
Assuming the rules allow writers to play, I can get to Kevin Bacon through my rewrite work (just a "thanks" in the credits though) on MANHATTAN MIDNIGHT, which starred Maggie Q, who was in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III with Tom Cruise, who was in A FEW GOOD MEN with Kevin Bacon.
Oh, and Ken can get directly to Bacon through Tom Hanks (VOLUNTEERS to APOLLO 13).
Ken Fisher said...
Until this momemt,unknown (to me anyway, and I thought I knew everything trivial)trivia re: celebraties as callers on Frasier. Would it be possible sometime in the future to compile a list of these celebs and in which episodes they participated"
PatGLex said...
Just did a Google search for "Frazier phone callers" and came up with this:
http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/05/11/tem_frasiercallers11.html
This might help. Ken might have a more complete list, though.
And if some smartass gives you Bombo the chimp (not Bombo the orangutan) to connect to Kevin Bacon, you'd be covered there too, since Bombo was the name of the dead chimp being mourned by Frasier Crane on the episode of "Cheers" Ken references in his "the scene that saved my life" blog entry some time back.
BH, The Denver Land Company said...
General comment.
That your blog is popular today and you grasp Joanie Sommers is a credential-anachronism.
I will now read you regularly.
Can You Help Mystery: I once spoke with George Schenck during the writer's strike and asked why "Crazy Like A Fox" is unavailable on DVD. He had no clue and hoped like me for a someday-release.
I think someone needs to cast Dave MB in a Kevin Bacon movie. With Ken's newfound clout with Time magazine at all (oops, sorry, print is so dead), he should be able to make this happen asap.
Art Garfunkel could act, if the part was right - I thought he was good in Carnal Knowledge (I part I suppose he got because Mike Nichols liked Simon & Garfunkel) but was badly miscast 10 years or so later in that Nicholas Roeg film Bad Timing.
Next year, I trust, S&G will embark on their "How Terribly Strange to be Seventy" tour.
I think Wade Boggs will probably remember you from now on, Ken.
Dr. Leo Marvin said...
Garfunkel already had a Bacon number of 2 (Catch 22 w/ Martin Sheen; Sheen in JFK with Bacon).
Once omeone named Ken served me bacon at an IHOP. I think that may count.....
Krupuk said...
You can check your Bacon number with this web site: http://oracleofbacon.org/
I've only appeared once as an extra in a film and I already have a Bacon number of 3. That game's too easy.
ah, yet another accomplishment to add to your blog bio.
Matt Patton said...
Kevin Bacon has done enough work as an actor that it takes only two or three moves to connect the French actress Maria Falconetti, who only made three movies (the most famous being Carl Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc) to the portrayer of Chip Diller.
Art Garfunkel has one of the lines in Carnal Knowledge, right under Mike Nichols' title card:
"I feel about sex like I feel about college. I'm being pressured."
My favorite Frasier call is still the one featuring Sandra Dee--that woman could throw one hell of a hissy fit.
Ace Arn said...
Totally useless bit of trivia: The game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" is actually based on a game devised by comic book fans back in the 1970s. The original goal of this was to establish a chain of connections between two dissimilar characters--the first version that I saw connected Millie the Model with Vampirella, which I suppose means nothing to most of you. After awhile, however, a variation appeared, in which the goal was to connect a comic book character with an actor who had played him.
For example: There was a story published in the 1950s in which Superman met Orson Welles (who had, of course, been kidnapped by Martians). Orson Welles was in A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, and so was Vanessa Redgrave. And Vanessa Redgrave appeared in THE BOSTONIANS with Christopher Reeve, who of course played Superman.
Here's one for Ken: The Beast was originally a member of the X-Men, but for awhile he was a member of the Avengers, and appeared in one story in which the Avengers met David Letterman. Letterman was in the film CABIN BOY, which also featured Bob Elliott. Elliott was in QUICK CHANGE with Bill Murray, who was in MAD DOG AND GLORY with Robert DeNiro, who was in 15 MINUTES with Kelsey Grammar...who played the Beast in X-MEN: THE LAST STAND.
Do not try this at home.
When my kids were small, we had a nanny who had come from Uganda, where her father had been Finance Minister under Idi Amin. So you can use me to get to Idi Amin.
cadavra said...
How about this: I have a bit in TRAIL OF THE SCREAMING FOREHEAD (which I co-produced), which also features Kevin McCarthy, who appeared with Kevin Bacon in HERO AT LARGE.
I was an extra in a not very great movie called the Opposite Sex and How to Live With Them with Kevin Pollak who was in A Few Good Men with.....
And to tie it altogether, my job as an extra was to be a spectator at Fenway Park in the movie.
@Ace Arn: Actually "Six degrees of separation" is a scienticifc concept that has its origins in the 1920s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation

Photos of EXO members changing on stage resurface and fans are going crazy for them
Photos of EXO's Baekhyun changing at a concert in 2015 have recently been circulating on the internet and they've been driving fans wild.
Photos of Baekhyun changing on stage have recently gone viral online, and fans are in an absolute frenzy. The photos and videos were taken by fans during their EXO'rdium 2015 concerts as the members changing was actually a part of EXO's choreography and became a treasured part of their concerts. The choreography that included the members changing was part of their performance for "Lucky", during which the members changed their outfits behind a backlit paper screen.
There are dozens of videos of EXO's members changing on stage that have been exceptionally popular, some of them catching times when the paper that obscured the changing members accidentally fell away! Stage malfunctions aside, this was a fun and unusual way to do wardrobe changes and fans loved it.
Check out what has EXO fans buzzing:
Fans definitely loved this part of the show!
Baekhyun showed off his toned shoulders while adjusting his hair.
Baekhyun looks totally relaxed despite thousands of people watching him change!
This is definitely the coolest wardrobe change. The member's don't leave the stage, leaving more time with fans.
Chen wasn't as quick as the others, but I'm sure no one complained about that.
Fastest wardrobe change ever.
D.O looks so adorable!
Only time will tell if EXO will bring this fan-beloved tradition back.
That one time when nearly all the paper came down and Baekhyun did a little dance to distract fans.
