This fall semester I had the wonderful opportunity to work for Casa Comunal, as a digital marketing intern. Casa Comunal is an oceanfront vacation rental located in the Bocas del Toros Province of Panama. The rental property which started out as a passion project for healthy living and surfing is comprised of two adjoining homes, Casa Norte and Casa Sur. The homes, which were built using locally sourced and environmentally friendly materials, create a warm and inviting space with the "intent to promote shared learning, spirited interaction and above all, human connection." While this property is fairly new (about a year old) it has already been featured on dwell.com, a prominent online and print magazine focused on architecture and design.
As a Strategic and Corporate Communication major entering my final year of college, I believe every internship must be valuable and help promote a deeper understanding of the curriculum I'm learning in the classroom. When looking for an internship I tend to focus on those that involve digital media marketing, or social media marketing, as I intend to start my career in those fields. From my past internship experience, I've also realized that my stronger skills include brainstorming/pitching, strategy, copywriting and content creation. This fall I was looking for an internship at a smaller or newer organization so that I would have a better chance of inputting creative and strategic ideas as well as be able to help establish a new brand.
While this mission statement had clearly been thought out to fully embody exactly what the Casa Comunal experience is like, when conducting a SERP (search engine results page) on the Casa social media there was nothing to be found. Social media is highly important nowadays, especially for new businesses with lower budgets that need an efficient way to garner brand recognition among its audience. Social media platforms are also helpful in conveying whatever message a brand wants to communicate to their audience, which in the case of Casa, would be pictures and copy emanating all things tropical, health and wellness, adventure, yoga, etc,.
During the first week at Casa (which to clarify, I was not working at the actual property in Panama but from an office space in Los Angeles) my supervisor and I discussed the work and workload I was capable of handling throughout the semester, and what specific projects I would like to focus on during my time with them.
Knowing my strengths and wanting to develop them further, we decided that I would work on creating a strategic digital marketing plan for Casa Comunal, as well as compiling a master list of potential influencers Casa could reach out to in the future for brand partnerships. Lastly, after hearing about the success of the feature on dwell.com, I challenged myself to also reach out to various online and print publishers that specialized in travel, lifestyle, wellness, or architecture and design.
Over the course of the semester, I gathered images of the property and created a content calendar that included copy and the most relevant hashtags. I believed establishing a presence on social media was one the key marketing tools Casa could implement that would hopefully, over time, result in a high conversion rate. I had been working on a digital marketing plan for another course, so being able to implement that knowledge into a real-life strategic plan for Casa was a very rewarding experience.
Since Casa is a relatively new company that doesn't have the means to pay for search engine programs such as Tagger (a search engine that provides statistics on nearly every public figure's social media accounts), finding the right potential influencers to reach out to for partnerships proved to be a little more tedious and difficult. In addition, reaching out to publications also proved difficult, mostly due to the fact that I haven't had any traditional PR experience and wasn't exactly sure how to go about that process.
Unlike my previous internships, Casa is a very small organization so I was given a greater amount of responsibility and work. One take away I have from my experience is that while teamwork is a very important quality to have within an organization, I should not be afraid or intimidated by doing more than is required (even if I'm not 100% sure on how to do it). With bigger organizations, I've learned that you can rely on your coworkers for certain things such as approvals or edits, however at smaller organizations I've realized the value of the individual. Learning to think for myself and make decisions without second-guessing or turning to a coworker for their approval or opinion has proved to be a helpful skill, especially in an environment where time is limited or supervisors don't have the bandwidth to sign off on every single thing you do. After working with Casa Comunal I feel as though I am prepared to take on more responsibility and leadership for any other project or workplace I may find myself at in the future.

Have you ever given a thought over the decreasing revenue of your sales organization?
Focusing on top performers is an easy task with minimal effort but at the same time have you ever thought about focusing on the laggards.
How can companies succeed widely with the presence of sales laggards who need massive improvement?
It's not that salespeople are a lazy lot and don't care about their tasks. The major reason behind becoming laggards is due to lack of guidance and confidence they need, to do their work. Organizations need to provide effective training and access on resources to the laggards to help them become super performers.
If you have to understand these set of people you will have to know the basics of differentiating them from the super performers. How will you do so?
Relying on Organization's Generated Leads: Sales reps who completely rely on the company generated leads have proved to be laggards. Rather, the complete process should be designed with a planned structure so as to promote proactive participation. Reps who have proactive approach towards selling are the ones who excel in quota completion. Identifying prospects through cold calling and online research can be beneficial to the reps in cracking deals as they have already applied efforts for the same. While on the other hand, wasting time on leads just because they have been handed over by your organization can be a mistake. All leads cannot be of same quality and so sales reps need to consistently keep on adding more leads to their list.
Arguing with the Buyer: One of the biggest mistake that reps make is to interrupt the buyer in the middle of a discussion. Not only it is considered rude, but at the same time you also miss the opportunity to hear from your prospects. Listening to prospects carefully provides you with an option to have access to some critical information that might be helpful in pitching the offering. Studies show that more than 60% of all problems existing between people and within businesses is a result of faulty communication.
Lack of Product Knowledge: Sales reps should always have adequate knowledge about what they sell. It is one of the essential sales skill to understand the product feature for presenting their benefits accurately and persuasively. Customers always respond to reps who are passionate about their offerings and are proactive in exploring and demonstrating the benefits. This will help the reps in winning the confidence of customers.
Not Creating Buyer Personas: Organizations are continuously struggling in making the selling conversation interesting. Generating engagement is one of the major concerns these days. Knowing your ideal customers or personas in advance and accordingly designing campaigns and products can be valuable to these organizations. Thus, reps need to do some online research and develop their set of target customers based on the industry domain, buying behaviour, needs, etc.
Inefficient Follow-up strategy: Finding new prospect is crucial for the growth and success of a sales organization. But once a sales rep is presented with a prospective list, there must be a defined and strategised approach to be applied in order to achieve closures. Adding to this fact, a successful closure is always in conjunction with a well organized follow-up strategy. A sales rep should ask and understand why a particular customer needs certain services in a specified manner while the other needs the same services in a completely different manner. They should regularly raise questions to prospects as well as customers to judge their behavior, buying pattern, likes, dislikes and nurture them to reach the ultimate goal of customer delight.
Failure to Customize Demonstration: Great Sales demonstration is one of the powerful tools to crack deals. Every customer is unique, so it is the duty of the reps to design the presentation. Sales reps should check news releases, annual reports, company websites and more importantly should speak to the customers before the presentation, to understand their needs. Therefore, don't forget to customize your presentation as speaking of pointers that matters to your prospects, is the key to closures.

Using a Theory of Expectations to Understand why There is Variation in Voter Response to Political Scandals
Martin, Byran Nevin
UC Riverside Electronic Theses and Dissertations (2011)
Why are some politicians negatively evaluated for scandals while others are not? Prior research has focused on the effects scandals have on election outcomes and citizen evaluations of institutions. Less research investigates variation in reaction to scandals among the voters. I theorize that to understand how a voter responds to a scandal, we must understand the expectations he or she places on their representative. I argue negative evaluations of public officials are not simply a function of political leaders violating social norms, but rather their failure to meet the voter's expectations. In addition, scandals involving more than one public official should lower the voter's expectation of politicians in general, minimizing the scandal's impact of any one particular official. To test my theory I have built an original database of scandals and electoral outcomes, use public opinion data, and conducted a laboratory based experiment. The experiments will provide an individual-level test for causality for my theoretical expectations. The survey data will be used to test individual attitudes regarding candidates as a function of voter values and candidate reputation. And the scandal database will allow me to further test other implications of my hypotheses, and examine how well my theoretical expectations generalize across a variety of political contexts.
Higher order light propagation volumes
Martin, Timothy Ly
UC San Diego Electronic Theses and Dissertations (2012)
Light propagation volumes is a real-time single bounce indirect lighting approximation that uses spherical harmonics for light representation and a grid-based light transport. The technique is useful for applying indirect light to participating media, glossy specular reflection, and indirect diffuse illumination, but this thesis focuses on the indirect diffuse illumination. When applying indirect diffuse light, the light propagation volume method has issues with light bleeding, self lighting, and surface lighting artifacts. Also, when the indirect diffuse lighting is applied to more complex geometry, there is a lack of directional influence in the shading, producing a flat lighting effect, uncharacteristic of diffuse shading. I modify the light propagation volume approach by extending the spherical harmonics from two bands to three bands and describe a higher order propagation approach that considers 26 directions of propagation versus the original six. The new resulting technique is called higher order light propagation volumes. Higher order light propagation volumes are able to combat some of the problems present with light propagation volumes. The new technique reduces the appearance of lighting artifacts, and at the same time promotes a light distribution in scenes that resembles reference implementations, such as path tracing. Lastly, indirect diffuse illumination applied with the new technique produces higher quality diffuse shading detail because the directional representation of light is better preserved with the combination of extended spherical harmonics light representation and the higher order propagation method
Pigeon control: An integrated approach
Martin, Colleen M.
Martin, Lee R.
Proceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference, Volume 10 (1982)
Reducing a pigeon population to a tolerable or minimal impact level is a subject about which one can find much antiquated and impractical information. Most technical literature reports on the biology of pigeons and associated disease factors. The intention of this paper is to describe the practical application of large-scale pigeon population reduction programs that have been at least 90% effective in 45 out of 46 cases over the past four years. Human relations, exclusion, trapping, toxic perches and Avitrol are discussed.
Investigating the role of turn motif and activation loop phosphorylation in the regulation of PKA structure and function
Steichen, Jon Martin
The catalytic (C) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) is a member of the AGC group of protein kinases. PKA has served as a structural and biochemical prototype for understanding the protein kinase superfamily. In cells, PKA is regulated primarily by three different mechanisms : cAMP binding to the regulatory subunits, PKI, and phosphorylation on the turn motif and activation loop. The main focus of this dissertation was to investigate the role of turn motif and activation loop phosphorylation on the regulation of PKA structure and function. The molecular basis for activation loop (Thr197) phosphorylation was explored using biochemical and structural methods. An X-ray crystal structure of the unphosphorylated C-subunit revealed that the N- and C- lobes of the kinase were separated and there was a dramatic loss in hydrogen bonding at the active site. These changes were correlated with a decrease in activity, loss of stability, and increased dynamics of the enzyme as measured by hydrogen/deuterium exchange. Next, the role of turn motif (Ser338) phosphorylation in the C-terminal tail of PKA was investigated by structural and biochemical methods. Even though the structure of the unphosphorylated protein was similar to wild type PKA, our studies showed that the phosphorylation at the turn motif was a necessary precursor for activation loop phosphorylation, and is essential for maintaining normal PKA activity in mammalian cells. Finally, the phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase (PDK1) is known to phosphorylate the activation loops of numerous AGC kinases. We sought to determine the molecular basis for substrate recognition and activation loop phosphorylation by PDK1. An internal Glu-Arg salt bridge was found to be a critical nonlinear recognition motif in all PDK1 substrates tested. This salt bridge is highly conserved and disease-associated SNPs at the Glu and Arg positions have been found in numerous protein kinases indicating that this may be a common recognition motif in the protein kinase superfamily
Induced seismicity provides insight into why earthquake ruptures stop.
Galis, Martin
Ampuero, Jean Paul
Mai, P Martin
Cappa, Frédéric
Injection-induced earthquakes pose a serious seismic hazard but also offer an opportunity to gain insight into earthquake physics. Currently used models relating the maximum magnitude of injection-induced earthquakes to injection parameters do not incorporate rupture physics. We develop theoretical estimates, validated by simulations, of the size of ruptures induced by localized pore-pressure perturbations and propagating on prestressed faults. Our model accounts for ruptures growing beyond the perturbed area and distinguishes self-arrested from runaway ruptures. We develop a theoretical scaling relation between the largest magnitude of self-arrested earthquakes and the injected volume and find it consistent with observed maximum magnitudes of injection-induced earthquakes over a broad range of injected volumes, suggesting that, although runaway ruptures are possible, most injection-induced events so far have been self-arrested ruptures.
Containment basins and bird exclusion--a historical perspective
Martin, Lon M.
Taber, Michael R.
Most facility engineers with responsibility for hazing birds on containment basins use agricultural crop protection techniques. This approach is appropriate for basins with non-hazardous solutions. Basins containing toxic solutions require an entirely different approach. Detoxification, or exclusion with floating membranes, netting or Bird Balls™ are the best options.
Dicer1 is required to repress neuronal fate during endocrine cell maturation.
Kanji, Murtaza S
Martin, Martin G
Bhushan, Anil
UC San Francisco Previously Published Works (2013)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression programs in the pancreas; however, little is known about the role of miRNA pathways during endocrine cell specification and maturation during neonatal life. In this study, we deleted Dicer1, an essential RNase for active miRNAs biogenesis, specifically from NGN3+ endocrine progenitor cells. We found that deletion of Dicer1 in endocrine progenitors did not affect the specification of hormone-expressing endocrine cells. However, the islets in the mutant mice in the neonatal period exhibited morphological defects in organization and loss of hormone expression, and the mutant mice subsequently developed diabetes. Dicer1-deficient β-cells lost insulin expression while maintaining the expression of β-cell transcription factors such as Pdx1 and Nkx6.1 early in the postnatal period. Surprisingly, transcriptional profiling showed that that the Dicer1-deficient endocrine cells expressed neuronal genes before the onset of diabetes. The derepression of neuronal genes was associated with a loss in binding of the neuronal transcriptional repressor RE-1-silencing transcription factor to its targets in Dicer1-deficient β-cells. These studies suggest that miRNAs play a critical role in suppressing neuronal genes during the maturation of endocrine cells.

Statistics, computation, and adaptation in high dimensions
Pananjady Martin, Ashwin
UC Berkeley Electronic Theses and Dissertations (2020)
With a focus on designing flexible, tractable, and adaptive methodology for some canonical machine learning tasks, we establish several results for the class of permutation-based models, index models, and Markov reward processes. First, we study permutation-based models in the vector, matrix, and tensor settings, which provide robust representations in "broken-sample" problems and of human-generated data. We design tractable and adaptive methodological solutions for fitting these models that, among other things, narrow statistical computational gaps conjectured in the literature. Second, we study a subclass of index models---widely used in dimensionality reduction and exploratory data analysis---through a computational lens, focusing on avoiding the (statistical) curse of dimensionality and on achieving automatic adaptation to the noise level in the problem. Our perspective yields efficient algorithms for solving these non-convex fitting problems that come with provable guarantees of sample efficiency and adaptation. Finally, we turn to studying some statistical questions in reinforcement learning, focusing in particular on instance-dependent guarantees for the policy evaluation problem. We show that while some algorithms attain the optimal, "local" performance for this problem, other popular methods fall short and must be modified in order to achieve the desired levels of adaptation.
Critical Issues in Transportation in California
Wachs, Martin
Earlier Faculty Research (1997)
Just as the Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris, and the Statue of Liberty is the symbol of New York, it can be said that the freeway is an internationally recognized symbol of California. The California transportation system was not too long ago the envy of the world, yet there is today a serious question as to whether or not our state is in a leadership position with respect to the provision of mobility to its citizens.
Forty years ago, Governor Pat Brown and most members of the state legislature believed that transportation infrastructure investments were fundamental to economic growth and that large commitments of public funds for the construction of a transportation network would pay ample dividends over many decades in the form of growth in population, commerce, tourism, and tax revenues. These views enjoyed broad public support. The aggressiveness with which leaders in the fifties built a state highway system can today be criticized by environmentalists and preservationists, but it was monumental and their projections of growth and change have over time been proven to have been largely correct. The shared sense of direction and commitment that characterized our state during the freeway building days, and the partnership between federal and state governments that funded our highway system is long since gone. In place of unity and commitment transportation policy making is today characterized by timidity and indecision. With our state highway program stalled, California's public transit program is also falling far short of what is needed to provide mobility to a growing number of inner-city transit dependent people. As we look forward to a new century, we must question whether our transportation program is sufficient to serve the population growth we expect or to sustain the economic growth that we hope for.

Catherine Carey, after her marriage Catherine Knollys and later known as both Lady Knollys  and Dame Catherine Knollys, (c. 1522 – 15 January 1569), was chief Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Elizabeth I, who was her first cousin.

Biography
Catherine Carey was born in 1522, the daughter of William Carey of Aldenham in Hertfordshire, Gentleman of the Privy Chamber and Esquire of the Body to Henry VIII, and his wife Mary Boleyn, who had once been a mistress of the king. Catherine was thus Elizabeth I's maternal first cousin. Some historians believe that Catherine was an illegitimate child of Henry VIII, which would make her also Elizabeth I's paternal half-sister through their shared father, Henry VIII.

Catherine was said to be a witness to the execution of her aunt, Anne Boleyn, in 1536; however, claims that she had stayed overnight to entertain and distract her aunt Anne in the Tower of London before the latter's execution have been dismissed.

Catherine went on to become Maid of Honour to both Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard, the fourth and fifth wives of Henry VIII. On 26 April 1540 she married Sir Francis Knollys. Her husband was named a Knight of the Garter in 1593, although he had already been knighted in 1547. He was also Treasurer of the Royal Household. From the time of her marriage, Catherine became known as Mistress Knollys, and from 1547 as Lady Knollys. When not in London, the couple lived at Reading in Berkshire and Rotherfield Greys in Oxfordshire, and because they were staunch Protestants, they fled to Germany during the reign of Queen Mary I.

Princess Elizabeth wrote to her cousin there, and Catherine was appointed Chief Lady of the Bedchamber after Elizabeth became queen. For the first ten years of the reign, Lady Catherine combined the most senior post among the ladies-in-waiting with motherhood to more than a dozen children. Elizabeth never recognized Catherine as her half-sister, and it was certainly not a relationship that Catherine or Sir Francis ever openly claimed. At court, Catherine was acknowledged as the queen's favourite among her first cousins, and Elizabeth's lack of other female relatives to whom she felt close may be adequate to explain this favoured position.

She died on 15 January 1569 at Hampton Court Palace, being outlived by her husband and children, and was buried the following April in St Edmund's Chapel in Westminster Abbey. There is a small commemorative plaque in the abbey, although her chief monument is at Rotherfield Greys in Oxfordshire.

Catherine's epitaph reads:

Issue
Sir Francis and Lady Knollys produced a number of offspring who survived to maturity. Of the children listed, only the last, Dudley, is known to have died in infancy:

Mary Knollys (c. 1541 – 1593). She married Edward Stalker.
Sir Henry Knollys (c. 1542 – 1582). He was a member of parliament representing first Shoreham, Kent (1563) and then Oxfordshire. Esquire of the Body to Elizabeth I. He was married to Margaret Cave (1549–1600), daughter of Sir Ambrose Cave and Margaret Willington. Their daughter Lettice Knollys (1583–1655) married before 19 June 1602 William Paget, 4th Baron Paget.
Lettice Knollys, Countess of Essex and of Leicester (8 November 1543 – 25 December 1634). She married first Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex, secondly Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, and thirdly Sir Christopher Blount.
William Knollys, 1st Earl of Banbury, (c. 1544 – 25 May 1632). He was married first to Dorothy Bray, who was 20 years his senior; and secondly to Elizabeth Howard, daughter of Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk, and his second wife Catherine Knyvett.
Edward Knollys (1546–1580). He was a member of Parliament.
Sir Robert Knollys (1547–1626). Member of Parliament representing Reading, Berkshire (1572–1589), Brecknockshire (1589–1604), Abingdon, Oxfordshire (1604, 1624–1625) and finally Berkshire (1626). He married Catherine Vaughan, daughter of Sir Rowland Vaughan, of Porthamel.
Richard Knollys (1548 – 21 August 1596). Member of Parliament representing first Wallingford (1584) and then Northampton (1588). Married Joan Heigham, daughter of John Heigham, of Gifford's Hall, Wickhambrook, Suffolk.
Elizabeth Knollys (15 June 1549 – c. 1605). Lady Elizabeth married Sir Thomas Leighton of Feckenham, Worcester, son of John Leighton of Watlesburgh and Joyce Sutton, in 1578. Her husband served as Governor of Jersey and Guernsey.
Maud Knollys (1548 – ?). Died young.
Sir Thomas Knollys (died 1596). Known for service in the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648). Governor of Ostend in 1586. Married Odelia de Morana, daughter of John de Morada, Marquess of Bergen.
Sir Francis Knollys "the Younger" (c. 1552 – 1648). Member of Parliament representing first Oxford (1572–1588) and then Berkshire (1597, 1625). Married Lettice Barrett, daughter of John Barrett, of Hanham. Father-in-law of John Hampden.
Anne Knollys (19 July 1555 – 30 August 1608). Married Thomas West, 2nd Baron De La Warr. Mother to Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, after whom the state of Delaware is named.
Catherine Knollys (21 October 1559 – 20 December 1620). Married first Gerald FitzGerald, Baron Offaly (son of Gerald FitzGerald, 11th Earl of Kildare and Mabel Browne) and secondly Sir Phillip Butler, of Watton Woodhall. She was the mother of Lettice Digby, 1st Baroness Offaly.
Cecily Knollys (c. 1560 - ?).No known descendants.
Margaret Knollys. No known descendants.
Dudley Knollys (9 May 1562 – June 1562)

In literature
The possibility that Catherine, and perhaps her brother Henry, were illegitimate children of Henry VIII, appears in many works of fiction, including Wendy J. Dunn's The Light in the Labyrinth and Philippa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl. Carey is also a character in Gregory's The Boleyn Inheritance, where she is sent to the royal court during the time of Queens Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard, and in The Virgin's Lover, where, as the mother of the seventeen-year-old Lettice Knollys, she is among Elizabeth I's closest companions. In Henry VIII's Wives by Alison Prince, the book's narrator has a friend, Catherine "Kitty" Carey, whose father died of sweating sickness and whose mother is Mary Boleyn. In this book, Catherine was thought to be the king's daughter.
Catherine is the featured subject in the novel Cor Rotto: A Novel of Catherine Carey by Adrienne Dillard and the young adult novel The Light in the Labyrinth by Wendy J. Dunn.

One of the world's most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in The Amazing Spider-Man. Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach are producing the film in association with Marvel Entertainment for Columbia Pictures, which will open in theaters everywhere in 3D on July 3, 2012.
The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Survey highlights concerns over condition of local roads
Nearly half of UK drivers believe the condition and maintenance of local roads has deteriorated over the past 12 months, a survey suggests
Published on December 6, 2019
The survey was carried out by the RAC as part of its 2019 Report on Motoring, with 49% of respondents saying the roads in their area have worsened in the last year, compared to just 11% who believe they have improved.
While the RAC survey shows potholes and related road-surface problems take most of the blame for the worsening conditions (95%) – other factors include concerns about grass and foliage (22%) and signage visibility (17%).
The RAC believes the latter two issues may be linked, with substandard roadside foliage maintenance leading to an increase in signs being obscured by vegetation.
The RAC survey also appears to highlight a clear town-versus-country divide, with respondents based in rural locations being almost 10% more likely to say their local road conditions have worsened in the past 12 months.
Meanwhile, 25% of London-based motorists say conditions are in fact better this year, against the UK-wide average of 11%.
The RAC says the state of local roads is 'always one of the biggest bugbears for drivers'.
Nicholas Lyes, RAC head of roads policy, said: "Despite data from our patrols revealing fewer of the breakdowns they have attended this year have been related to pothole damage, it seems that drivers still feel that road surfaces are not as good as they should be.
"Those living in rural areas definitely feel more hard done by, perhaps because they rely on their cars more than those in towns and cities so they are more inclined to notice defects that hinder their journeys."
'Very clear divide' between local roads and motorways
Drivers' views on motorway and major dual-carriageway conditions are more positive according to the survey, but there is still considerable room for improvement.
Well over twice as many motorists – 28% – think the conditions on these roads have worsened over the past 12 months as think they have improved (11%).
Nicholas Lyes added: "There is also a very clear divide between opinions about the condition of local roads and motorways and dual carriageways, with local roads appearing to be in a far worse state than their major road counterparts.
"This points towards the difference in the way both are funded with only major roads having certainty of funding from central government.
"We believe local roads are just as vital to the UK's economy so should be treated in a similar way which would allow local authorities to plan routine maintenance rather just filling in potholes as they appear."

Qatar achieves an impressive 91% in air safety audit
By Arshak M A Updated on 6 August 2019, 11:30 pm Qatar
The State of Qatar, represented by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has achieved an impressive air safety compliance rate of 91% during the safety oversight audit of civil aviation, according to the Universal Safety Oversight Audit Program (USOAP).
HE Abdullah bin Nasser Turki Al-Subaie, Chairman of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GCAA), said in an interview on CNBC Arabia yesterday that achieving this milestone and acquiring this very high number in the safety audit program was only possible by a large number of amendments in the Civil Aviation Law and the applicable regulations in the State of Qatar.
Al-Subaie pointed out that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has developed a new set of regulations, conditions, and requirements for air users so that the level of civil aviation remains in greater safety.
He added that ICAO has directed some important measures in this regard since November 2018 and Qatar aviation system has been strictly subscribed the new amendments.
No plan for anther airline brand
When asked about the news that Qatar may start a brand new airline rather than Qatar Airways for its own, he cleared the air over the speculation and firmly stated "Qatar Airways is dynamically engaged in passenger transport, air cargo operations and is continuing to increase its fleet updated with user-friendly automation. "
He also added that the Qatari market is not likely to be more than one company, as the brand Qatar Airways has largely become what it is today and can't think of much more viable affair with the scheme of things that the national career of the State offers.
Al-Subaie stressed that Qatar effectively dealt with the unjustified air blockade imposed by its neighboring countries. There was never a moment of uncertainty as Doha swiftly overcomes all the hurdles regarding the siege since its first day.
Over a period of two years, several measures have been taken with the aim of preventing any change in the air traffic in Qatar by creating new routes and activating other routes. The number of passengers at Doha Hamad International airport has been increased since the blockade and travelers around the world are happy with the layovers at DOH.
Al-Subaie pointed out that that with regard to the expansion of Hamad International Airport planned since 2014, it has already started bidding through the Qatar Airport Management Company, which will meet the increase in the number of passengers expected, especially whence people flock in Doha for 2022 FIFA World Cup mega event.

A royal commission for the land
Kate Galloway
For our society to function responsively to what is now a dynamically changing context, we urgently need differently oriented governance. This will, no doubt, be unpalatable for some — both in government and in the general public. But without re-setting how we are governed, our land and our society will suffer further destruction.
Australia is the perfect size to lead on climate
Around 40 per cent of the world's carbon emissions are produced by countries with similar outputs to Australia. Collectively these countries can make a significant difference if each reduces their carbon emissions. While Australia can make a difference as part of a collective, our real ability to effect change actually lies elsewhere.

The Minister was delighted to announce that in Kimba the long awaited vote to host a permanent facility for national low level radiactive waste and storage for intermediate level radioactive waste had concluded. The result: 61.17 per cent voted in favour. Unsurprisingly, he failed to mention that voting rights in the poll were severely restricted.
A mystical intrusion in nature
Francine Crimmins
Johnson describes this encounter as one of grandeur, the same feeling some adherents of religion experience when they visit a sacred site or enter a holy place of worship. In this way, nature is a mystical experience. It's the closest feeling I get to an overwhelming presence that is all encompassing and all forgiving at the same time.
Ways out of the capitalist rabbit hole
Recognising that financial systems are a human creation rather than natural systems governed by 'capital flows' would be an important step to conceiving a more robust and equitable system. To ask what kind of society we want and only then work out what we want money to do for us is to put the horse back in front of the cart.
Woe to those who punish the poor
If our PM's theological name dropping rings true, his life is guided by the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.

Yet it remains a vote winner, this business of punishing poor people for being poor.

The thief, the party and WikiLeaks
The running themes of the Department of Justice charges against Assange are that he is a hacker, an agent of espionage and a danger to necessary secrecy. In so slanting their case, the DOJ hopes to avoid the application of the First Amendment covering press freedoms. The reasoning of District Judge Koeltl suggests this might well fail.


The reversal in oil prices from early July highs was triggered by easing threats of the tropical storm Gordon hitting the Gulf of Mexico.
International Brent crude futures LCOc1 , by contrast, lost ground, trading at $78.10 per barrel, down 5 cents from their last close.
At the end of last month, Iran's Foreign Minister was quoted as reminding the European Union that Iran was still waiting to receive guarantees that the EU would continue to buy Iranian oil even after USA sanctions kick in on November 4.
Now add to that group Iraq, which is ready to ship more crude as soon as OPEC reaches an agreement on how members will share a collective supply boost, Alaa Al-Yasiri, acting director-general of the state-run Oil Marketing Co., said Wednesday.
Oil production is rising all across the top producers.
India is allowing state refiners to import Iranian oil with Tehran arranging tankers and insurance after firms including the country's top shipper Shipping Corp of India (SCI) halted voyages to Iran due to US sanctions, sources said.
In a speech on June 4, the Leader slammed European governments for expecting the Iranian nation to both tolerate sanctions and give up its nuclear activities, saying that the country can not remain in "nuclear custody" when the sanctions are still in place.
Resource-pour Japan relies heavily on imports of oil from the Middle East, though crude from Iran accounted for just 5.3 percent of the country's total imports previous year.
The economists said: "The EU, Korea, Japan and UAE collectively accounted for 41 percent of the average 2.6million barrels per day Iran exported in the first half of 2018".
Still, worries persist that the market is due for a tightening anyway: Stephen Innes, head of trading for Asia-Pacific at OANDA, said Brent was "supported by the notion that US sanctions on Iranian crude oil exports will eventually lead to constricted markets".

About 7 million children in the United States have Asthma.
With the increasing rates of pediatric Asthma, parents are seeking for alternative treatments to β2 receptor agonists and anti-inflammatory drugs (inhaled corticosteroids or leukotriene receptor antagonist), traditionally prescribed for children at risk with Asthma exacerbation.
A study published in 2016 evaluated the effect of Halotherapy (salt therapy) on BHR, FeNO for a better life quality in children with Asthma. The study examined children from 5 to 13 years old, clinically diagnosed with mild Asthma, which were not treated with anti-inflammatory therapy.
The study consisted of two groups treated in salt room – one (treatment group) with and the other (control group) without halogenerator.
The results had shown a statistically significant improvement on BHR and quality-of-life in the treatment group, which was not demonstrated in the control group.

By Mark Thompson on	 January 16, 2020 Case Studies
LinkedIn, YouTube, an innovative web app, frequent speaking gigs, and in-house marketers have quickly grown this progressive firm to 16 people.
In just six years, Michael Liner has grown his disability law practice from a solo operation in his former employer's attic in Cleveland to a four-attorney firm with a dozen support staff covering all of northeastern Ohio. He gives a lot of credit for his thriving practice to the Liner Legal app, custom-designed from an off-the-shelf template, downloadable to a smartphone or a tablet.
It allows Liner Legal's clients to paperlessly complete and electronically sign forms, update their files as needed, and keep posted on the progress of cases. It includes shortcuts to instructional videos about the disability application process, blog posts, and other content on Liner Legal's website. It also gives addresses of Social Security offices, and links to an array of social services, from food stamps to Medicaid, that many of the firm's clients need. All of that and more—the Liner Legal Toolkit, as Liner calls it–is at their fingertips around the clock, which is what he had in mind when he decided to get an app.
"My goal was to make us a 24/7 law firm," he explains. "I saw that we were getting a lot of voice mails from clients at 2 and 3 in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays, and I realized that my clients have questions for me all the time. They want to be able to tell me about doctor's visits, or hospitalizations, or other changes in their lives that they think are important in their case, and it's probably frustrating when they're talking to a voicemail. They want to know that the information they're giving is going directly to where it needs to go. They don't necessarily want a call back." Buttons on the app make all of that a snap.
"We have a lot of clients who are intimidated to even pick up the phone and so they have delayed giving us information," Liner adds. "The ability to offer them multiple ways to provide us information has really been a blessing to those clients."
The app has given his firm, in turn, something Liner says every business needs: a unique selling proposition. "The one thing that I cannot easily do until I'm done with the case is put money in your pocket, which is what you hired me to do," he says. A distinguishing feature of Liner Legal, endearing the firm to its clients, is that with the app and its toolkit, "I can help fill other gaps in your life until then," he says.
Generating Buzz About the App
Liner Legal rolled out the app in 2017, and generated lots of buzz about it a year later by using it as a platform for a 12-week weight-loss and wellness program. Inspired by his own recent loss of over 150 pounds, Liner first thought of offering it to his staff. But mindful from their daily work about how disabling obesity could be, they decided to open it to anyone who cared to sign up through the app, calling it the Liner Legal Largest Loser program.
Participants received an email each Monday with a meal plan for the week, exercise videos, links to community resources, motivational messages and chances to win weekly prizes, all the while tracking their own accumulating weight loss. "A lot of our clients are immobile so we decided to incorporate exercises that you can do from a couch. They can't afford to shop at Whole Foods so we were providing recipes that you could make on a food-stamp budget," Liner says. "It was important to us to make it realistic for the circumstances that our clients face."
Many clients got their friends and family to join in. Community organizations that Liner has worked with helped spread the word. In the end, about 600 people were actively engaging with the program. "Not only did we get hundreds and hundreds of participants who collectively lost thousands of pounds, we changed people's lives," says Liner, who adds that the program will definitely be offered again soon.
Most Fruitful Social Media Platform: LinkedIn
Liner has two people on his staff who spend much of their time on marketing. They managed that program, run the firm's website, and maintain Liner Legal's presence on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Liner personally handles the firm's account on the social media platform that in his experience has been "most fruitful": LinkedIn.
"I like it because it allows me to connect with other professionals who are in what I called allied professions," Liner says. "I handle that instead of my staff because it's fun for me and I'm in the best position to reach out to the other professionals and target who I want to work with in a professional sense," namely those who deal with potential disability applicants.
"Obviously we spend a lot of time trying to increase our web traffic, but that gets us one new lead at a time," Liner says. "What I really want to do is establish relationships in the community with people that can refer me a volume of new clients over time, after I have built their trust and have shown them that we go above and beyond for our clients."
LinkedIn allows him to specifically target likely professionals such as social workers, doctors, therapists, counselors, attorneys in other fields. "Those are the allied professionals that I tend to reach out to as a disability attorney and I can easily find them on LinkedIn," Liner says. "It's a little more challenging to reach out to those people directly on Facebook or Twitter or Pinterest because they don't always self-identify on those platforms."
Early on, Liner ran an ad on LinkedIn targeting organizations that he believed would be his best potential referral partners. More recently he has been sending connection requests directly to individual members of those organizations. "That is not awkward because many of those people already know me" through his connections with the organizations they work for, he says. "They are people who have seen me give a presentation or conduct a training session, but I might not always necessarily be the top of mind with them," he says. "After adding them on LinkedIn, I regularly post items of interest to them, and I monitor to see who likes and shares the different things I post." Before long, he was getting likes and shares among a lot of secondary connections, further extending his reach.
Education Marketing to Potential Referral Sources
His presence on LinkedIn has been "very helpful" at bringing him to the attention of groups that invite him to speak or run workshops, which is "a huge part of what we do," says Liner. "My practice is built on what I call education marketing. I probably speak at three or four national conferences a year, and throughout northeastern Ohio we are putting on at least one or two training sessions or seminars a month," some of which qualify the participants for legal or medical continuing education credits.
"I speak to mental health counselors, caseworkers, physical therapy offices, and a lot of people who work for the county governments," he says. "We work a lot with other law firms that might see disability cases to educate their staffs about what to look for. We work with local health organizations, for example the local chapters of the Lupus Foundation and Multiple Sclerosis Society.
His pitch to those groups, he says, "has always been that I am sure that you are seeing people you have questions about disability. Give me half an hour or an hour of your time and I can help you be better able to answer their questions.
"I am not asking them to send me a bunch of clients, but naturally I then become the expert to that group and I end up getting referrals from them," Liner says. "That's kind of how I built my practice from the beginning. I didn't always have a marketing team and a staff of case managers helping me build my cases. It was me going out and doing this by myself from the ground floor."
Some Video Views Better Than Others
Liner continually adds email addresses, including those from his LinkedIn contacts and those who attend his training sessions, to the list of recipients for his monthly email newsletter, which goes out to around 8,000 people.
He also regularly adds new tutorials to his YouTube channel, which contains dozens of videos. Many have gotten a couple dozen views at most, but a few have gotten over 10,000 views.
He isn't impressed with and doesn't chase big numbers. "It's people from all over the country that are watching that video and if they're in Hawaii, they are unlikely to pick up the phone and call a lawyer in Cleveland," he says. "Videos on topics that are specific to Cleveland might get only 25 views but if they are 25 people looking for a lawyer in the area at that exact moment and I am able to answer their question, I may get 20 new clients from those 25 views. So I don't really care as much how many views as I have. I care about answering as many questions as I can about my practice area."
Many of those questions are from his existing clients and others he already knows. In fact, he recently posted a request on LinkedIn for ideas for upcoming instructional videos. They all go into the library of tutorials there to help his clients get through the process.
Accessibility Eases Clients' Anxiety
On its website, Liner Legal offers home visits by a case manager for case intake, and promises to any questions will get answered within a day. Linder says he is willing to accept the risk that too much openness will encourage incessant calls from overly needy clients. "I'm being paid to hold somebody's hand," he says, though he adds, "What we try to do is set expectations very early on as to when and how often they're going to hear from us, and when they should be contacting us.
"By doing that and by explaining the process right at the beginning, we bring their anxiety down. I think that's one thing we've been able to do by being so accessible, with the forms and all the information we've provided on our website and through our app. We made it so that we can answer their questions and give them help at all times and it doesn't have to bog our phones down".


The former wife of the late (first democratic elected President of south Africa) Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela,may be further immortalised by the Emfuleni Council in Johannesburg after Gauteng Transport MEC Ismail Vadi confirmed the city has recommended renaming William Nicol Drive after the late struggle icon.
The road, which runs to the north of Johannesburg and connects a multitude of suburbs across the municipality, has been named after the South African reverend who helped translate the Bible into Zulu. However, it seems like Ma Winnie's legacy will see his name removed from the R511.
Earlier in 2018, the EFF lead the charge to have Cape Town International Airport named after Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Officials are still considering what the name change will be, but the red berets' suggestion gained a lot of support from their followers and many other South Africans.

First, we will seek to apply a process ontology to emergent phenomena in the framework of the MuSES project's case studies in Mexico (small-scale fisheries) and Uzbekistan (water management). Those case studies use agent based modeling (ABM) in order to explain and account for emergent phenomena. We particularly focus on exploring how to design an ABM – that is the abstractions and dynamics it is grounded on – from a process perspective.
Second, we explore the status of knowledge acquired from a process perspective. Can it be used to construct theories? If yes, what kind of theories? What about the explanatory (on the one hand) and predictive (on the other hand) power of such theories? And, most importantly, what are the practical implications for the management of SES from such a perspective?

Q: Converting Excel Formula to SQL Syntax Calculation i need help solving my problem converting Excel Formula to SQL.
Here's the formula :
=IF(
  ([@[Net Available Stock Quantity]]+[@Subcon]+[@[In Progress WIP]]+
   IFERROR([@[Raw Material In Store]]/[@[Demand Material]],0)+
   IFERROR([@[Outstanding Raw Material]]/[@[Demand Material]],0)+
   [@[Outstanding WIP]])>[@[Maximun Stock]],
    ([@[Net Available Stock Quantity]]+[@Subcon]+[@[In Progress WIP]]+
    IFERROR([@[Raw Material In Store]]/[@[Demand Material]],0)+
    IFERROR([@[Outstanding Raw Material]]/[@[Demand Material]],0)+
    [@[Outstanding WIP]]-[@[Maximun Stock]]),
     IF(([@[Net Available Stock Quantity]]+[@Subcon]+[@[In Progress WIP]]+

      -[@[Minimum Stock]]+([@[Net Available Stock Quantity]]+[@Subcon]+[@[In Progress WIP]]+
      IFERROR([@[Raw Material In Store]]/[@[Demand Material]],0)+
      IFERROR([@[Outstanding Raw Material]]/[@[Demand Material]],0)+[@[Outstanding WIP]]),0)
)

And here's what i've done :
USE myDB

SELECT [Item No],
    CASE
        WHEN ([Net Available Stock Quantity]+Subcon+[In Progress WIP]+CASE (
            WHEN ([Raw Material In Store] AND [Demand Material] != 0 THEN [Raw Material In Store]/[Demand Material] ELSE 0) +
            WHEN ([Outstanding Raw Material] AND [Demand Material] != 0 THEN [Outstanding Raw Material]/[Demand Material] ELSE 0) +
            [Outstanding WIP]) > [Maximum Stock])
        THEN ([Net Available Stock]+Subcon+[Outstanding WIP]+CASE (
            WHEN ([Raw Material] AND [Demand Material] != 0 THEN [Raw Material]/[Demand Material] ELSE 0) +
            WHEN ([Outstanding Raw Material] AND [Demand Material] != 0 THEN [Outstanding Raw Material]/[Demand Material] ELSE 0) +
            [Outstanding WIP) - [Maximum Stock])
        ELSE (
            CASE
            WHEN([Net Available Stock Quantity]+Subcon+[Outstanding WIP]+CASE (
                WHEN ([Raw Material In Store AND [Demand Material] != 0 THEN [Raw Material In Store]/[Demand Material] ELSE 0) +
                WHEN ([Outstanding Raw Material] AND [Demand Material] != 0 THEN [Outstanding Raw Material]/[Demand Material] ELSE 0) +
            [Outstanding WIP] < [Minimum Stock])
            THEN ([Minimum Stock]+[Net Available Stock Quantity]+Subcon+[Outstanding WIP]+CASE (
                WHEN ([Raw Material In Store] AND [Demand Material] != 0 THEN [Raw Material In Store]/[Demand Material] ELSE 0) +
                WHEN ([Outstanding Raw Material] AND [Demand Material] != 0 THEN [Outstanding Raw material]/[Demand Material] ELSE 0) +
            [Outstanding WIP])
    END AS [Final Stock Over Max],
FROM myTable

So, the problems when i paste to SQL Server Query,

*

*On [Item No] Invalid Column Name. (Plenty error like this on certain name)

*On second WHEN Invalid Syntax.

*On CASE inside ELSE Invalid Syntax.

*On AS Invalid Syntax.

I use THIS LINK as guide to convert the excel formula.
What do you guys think i'm doing wrong? It's been 2 days i try to convert, plenty example i've tried, but still the error appear.

On the Women's March
Moira Donegan
The queue to get onto the train at Howard University subway station stretched all the way up the stairs and onto the street. As I approached, women began to turn around, looking at us and shaking their heads: 'Don't bother.' I decided to walk the two miles to the National Mall. Washington DC is hard to navigate; it is laid out in a series of pinwheels designed to be difficult to invade, and many areas are geoblocked, turning the map on my phone into a blank. But there was only one direction that anyone was walking. Protesters held signs and wore 'pussy hats'; pink, mostly handmade, with points on the top like cat ears. A lot of us were carrying clear plastic backpacks with granola bars and bottles of water; fabric bags weren't allowed because they are too easy to hide a bomb in.
It's not certain how many of us there were at the Women's March on Washington on Saturday. The DC authorities say 500,000, almost certainly too low, and the protest organisers say 1.1 million, almost certainly too high. At any rate, more than attended Donald Trump's inauguration. The crowd overwhelmed the small city, and packed its streets for most of the day. At the Mall, the crowd was so dense that it was impossible to reach the main stage near the Capitol, where Scarlett Johansson and Janelle Monáe gave speeches along with Angela Davis and Gloria Steinem. The crowd stretched about ten blocks back from the Capitol building, thinning out in front of the Smithsonian.
People raised signs over their heads and held their phones up to take pictures. The most frequent were 'NASTY WOMAN' and 'PUSSY GRABS BACK'. 'WE SHALL OVERCOMB' one said. Another: 'CAN'T GRAB US ALL, YOUR HANDS ARE TOO SMALL.' A striking number of the signs were in Russian, or referenced Putin: 'JUST SAY NYET TO FASCISM!' A thin woman with dark hair held a sign that said: 'феминистка'. There were people in costume: a middle-aged couple wore matching Darth Vader masks and robes, with puffy orange wigs glued on top of their plastic helmets.
Young men lifted their girlfriends onto their shoulders to take pictures or scan the crowd for lost friends: 'Oh there they are! I see them!' The crowd was as dense as on a commuter train: heads pushed into strangers' shoulders, backpacks scraping the arms of passersby. Women pushed prams haltingly through the crowd, almost all of them with the same joke: 'I'm parting the Red Sea!' It was impossible not to step on someone's toes. There was a constant soft chant of 'Excuse me … Sorry … Pardon.'
The Women's March on Washington began as a Facebook post in the days after Donald Trump's election, and gathered steam in the weeks that followed as the incoming administration doubled down on its conflicts of interest, draconian demands for cuts to social services and proposals for ethnic cleansing. By Christmas, it was the main event for anti-Trump resistance organisers, with sister marches organised in all 50 states and around the world.
A black girl, maybe nine years old, appeared at my elbow; she was grinning, pushing her way forward. 'I want to see a sign this big that says "Black Lives Matter",' she said, and threw her arms out as far as the tight quarters would allow. The elderly white woman accompanying her took her hand. 'Let's go see if we can find one.'
The crowd was overwhelmingly white. This may have been partly the fault of the event's organisers, whose well-intentioned attempts to foster racial inclusiveness were nonetheless clumsy. One poster for the event featured a raised black fist on a mint-coloured background, above the slogan 'HEAR OUR VOICE'. The fist was held by white and brown hands, clutching it at the wrist. The message was meant to be that white women would attend the march in solidarity with women of colour, but this didn't really come across. If anything, the black fist looked like it was being dragged down.
Because the march was supposed to be inclusive, positive and accessible to the mainstream, the mood was almost aggressively chipper. Everywhere, people were laughing; signs were gleefully irreverent: 'FAGGOTS AGAINST FASCISM'; 'TRUMP HAS A TINY PENIS'. It was like a rock festival. The optimism at times felt naive, or even wilfully ignorant, in the face of the dangers facing America's racial minorities.
On Constitution Avenue, the crowd parted and headed in different directions. Some of us surged north and west, towards the White House. Chants began: 'WE ARE THE POPULAR VOTE'; 'YOU WORK FOR US NOW'; 'WE WANT A LEADER, NOT A CREEPY TWEETER.' A group of black teenagers began yelling 'BLACK LIVES MATTER' and the marchers joined in; two young men started to dance. Scattered throughout Washington that day were anti-choice demonstrators, who arrived with megaphones and large banners showing aborted foetuses. Whenever the crowds approached them, a chant rose of 'MY BODY, MY CHOICE'. Men added quietly: 'Her body, her choice.'
The street as we approached the White House was filthy with manure from the horses in Friday's inauguration parade. Cardboard had been vainly thrown over it in places, but thousands of marching feet dragged it across the road. A smattering of Trump supporters in red hats stood at the kerb, watching us go by. A heavily made-up white girl, maybe 14, stood with her mother, both of them wearing matching blue sweatshirts with the new president's face on. 'Loooo-sers!' she called out at us while her mother rubbed her shoulder, 'loooooo-sers!'
People left their signs outside the White House gates, hundreds of them lined up along the ground. The crowd was still thick: several thousand of us were staring in at the fountain and the white pillars. I was surprised by how small the White House is. It could be a stately home or a school. There may never be so many of Trump's enemies outside it again, and I wondered how easy it would be for all of us to walk in and take it for ourselves. I pictured myself pushing the orange toupee off his head with my index finger, flopping into his high-backed desk chair and spinning around. Instead I stood outside and peered at the door from the wrong side of the black iron fence.

This is all water off a duck's back to the sociopath in the white house. If Mr. T. offends register Democrat and vote out as many Republicans as possible in the upcoming mid-term elections in 2 years. Get everyone you know who agrees with you to do the same. The rest is gesture politics which will change nothing.

whisperit says: @Graucho
Curious that you seem to think that the protests were aimed solely at changing Trump's mind about stuff.
My understanding is that among the most important rationales for mass demonstration is to build confidence, to encourage further, active resistance , and to undermine those who currently offer conditional support to the sociopathic and oppressive.
Voting is a necessary part of changing things, but not the only useful act.
Unless you believe that - for example - the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, the resistance to the draft for the Vietnam War, the campaigns for women's suffrage were nothing more than "gesture politics which changed nothing"?

Graucho says: @whisperit
Kennedy and Johnson were not sociopaths, but men of conscience. Boycotting buses actually affected the bus company's bottom line as well as waking a lot of unknowing Americans up to the fact that apartheid lived in parts of their country. Resisting the draft made it harder for the U.S. army to recruit. Please do not misunderstand, my heart is with the demonstrators, but my head says that with a character like Trump a different approach is required.

Voting out Republicans and replacing them with Democrats would change nothing. Both serve the same masters.
CarpeDiem says:
I would argue that perhaps being a sociopath is a key requirement of the job. How else can one reconcile the public image of Obama as an erudite scholar, a civil rights attorney and professor of constitutional law with his track on mercilessly ramping up the drone assassination program and heartlessly deporting millions of undocumented migrants?
If we talk about Kennedy and Johnson, then
(a) Kennedy's behaviour and actions during the Cuban missiles crisis, and
(b) Kennedy's and Johnson's record on the developments leading to the Vietnam war
are for me reasons enough to be believe that they were, to borrow the term you used, "sociopaths".

Focussing on the political unrest of the 21st century, Hurricane Hill is a fast-paced novel, which examines the bond between soldiers on the battlefield and the effects that going to war has on an individual's mentality. Hurricane Hill centres on the moral dilemma: Which life is more valuable; that of a child or a brother-in-arms? Out in Helmand, the Insurgents are using children as young as 7 as decoys in fire fights. Paul Glover, a young soldier, has to decide whether to follow his training and treat the children as normal soliders, and shoot to kill, or be killed. Having become a new father himself, Paul's actions come back to haunt him and left asking himself whether he's done the right thing. When Paul arrives at the isolated house of a famous recluse his past is finally faced. Hurricane Hill shows us past lives, events and reasons for the extraordinary predicaments that the characters find themselves in. As the storm advances and threatens to destroy each of them, the young soldier's question is examined, challenged and ultimately answered.
Essentially, I enjoyed the novel, it is extremely well written. The author applies a very descriptive style of writing to full effect. The story is carefully crafted and the reader is drawn in bit by bit, through the use of flashbacks. This is not an easy read but we'll worth the effort. My only knock is, you are halfway through the novel before you have a sense of where the story is going.
Enjoyed the book a lot. Grabbed me from the beginning and had trouble putting it down. Well written.
Enjoyed the book a lot, although at times a bit troubling. Grabbed me from the beginning and had trouble putting it down. Well written with very descriptive prose, Leicester works to bring forward the very important issue of the effects of PTSD in veterans. Worth the time to read! Really sad I don't see more about this book!!
It's a well written and worthy read. I didn't know what to expect at first, but I found myself enjoying this far more than I expected to.
A moving and timely story. I enjoyed reading about the subject of servicemen and learned about the sticky politics our veterans face.
