Don't ignore class when addressing racial gaps in intergenerational mobility
Social Mobility Memos
William Julius Wilson Thursday, April 12, 2018
William Julius Wilson
Lewis P. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor at Harvard University
It is hard to overstate the importance of the new study on intergenerational racial disparities by Raj Chetty and his colleagues at the Equality of Opportunity Project. Simply put, it will change the way we think the world works.
Making good use of big data—de-identified longitudinal data from the U.S. Census and the IRS covering nearly the entire U.S. population from 1989 to 2015—the Chetty team finds that while the economic differences between whites and Asians and whites and Hispanics are converging over time, black children have earnings disparities that persist across generations. These gaps are explained almost entirely by large gaps in employment rates and wages between black and white men, even after controlling for parental income.
But the most surprising findings on the intergenerational gap between black and white men are found in their data on neighborhood effects. Chetty's previous research clearly demonstrates that rates of intergenerational mobility hinge on where children grow up. So a focus on the neighborhood a child grows up in is justified. Therefore, in this new study, Chetty and his colleagues begin with the assumption that within metro areas, black and white children grow up in very different neighborhoods, which could account for their different outcomes. To test this hypothesis, they compare the outcomes of children living in the same neighborhoods. They find that "the vast majority of the black-white gap persists even among boys growing up in families with comparable incomes in the same neighborhood; differences in neighborhood quality explain at most 25% of the black-white gap."
But we should take a pause here. Most social scientists working in this field would say that compelling results showing neighborhoods accounting for up to a quarter of the black-white gap are in fact pretty important. While not one of their headline findings, Chetty and his colleagues show that neighborhoods have causal effects on racial disparities.
Measuring barriers in black neighborhoods
The Chetty team has a range of proxies for neighborhood quality. But even with their rich datasets, they may not have been able to fully capture the structural conditions of black neighborhoods. As Robert Sampson and I argued in 1995, it is difficult or in some cases impossible to reproduce in white communities the structural circumstances under which many black Americans live, including the historical legacy of extended racial discrimination and segregation across generations.
Consider what cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cleveland, and Detroit have in common: they include many poor black neighborhoods that have undergone significant depopulation since 1970. The most visible symbols of this depopulation are abandoned buildings and vacant lots. The fundamental cause of this depopulation was the end of the Great Migration—that is, the cessation of black migration from the South in the early 1970s—and, simultaneously, the gradual movement of higher-income blacks from inner-city neighborhoods to other parts of the metro area, which I discussed in my book The Truly Disadvantaged (1987/2012). The ranks of those who abandoned these neighborhoods were no longer being replaced by new black migrants from the South, nor were other ethnic and racial groups moving into many of these neighborhoods—hence the depopulation.

Richard V. Reeves
Segregation and concentrated poverty in the nation's capital
Stuart M. Butler and Jonathan Grabinsky
This urban depopulation makes it more difficult to sustain basic institutions or to achieve adequate levels of neighborhood social organization, factors that are also related to greater joblessness and higher crime rates. Very few urban white neighborhoods, even those with the same poverty rates as black neighborhoods, approximate these conditions.
Surprising to many, Chetty and his colleagues also find that the usual suspects such as education, marital status, and wealth explain very little of the intergenerational racial gap in income. They also infer that "ability" is not a factor, since while there is no significant gap in black male and black female test scores, there is a large gap in individual upward mobility rates.
Black fathers matter—a lot, but in a surprising way
What explains the limited upward mobility of black boys from certain neighborhoods? Perhaps the most striking finding of the whole report is the impact of "father presence" in census tracts on the mobility chances of black boys. Note that the researchers are not showing here the direct effect of a boy's own father, or the marital status of his parents. This is about the broader presence of fathers in a given neighborhood. Note, too, that the finding relates specifically to fathers, not just men in general.
This is a wholly new and important finding. It is a highly specific, race-by-gender effect that provides direction for further empirical research and theoretical development on the causal mechanisms underlying these findings. Future work should include the investigation of whether the presence of black fathers in a census tract:
reduces disciplinary problems;
provides supervision, as well as direct mentoring support;
generates more pro-social behavior and norms that lead to positive aspirations; and
leads to changes in the way black boys are perceived and treated by peers.
It would also be useful to explore the role of father presence in the black inner-city neighborhoods of Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Detroit. These tend to be depopulated, as I previously discussed, in comparison with the inner-city black neighborhoods in places like New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. that tend to be more densely populated, not depopulated. My hypothesis is that the more densely populated neighborhoods in these latter cities will feature a greater number of fathers, partly due to the presence of a higher proportion of working married-couple families.
Black and white children in vastly different neighborhoods, still
The paper also shows that the black-white mobility gap tends to be relatively small in neighborhoods with low poverty rates (below 10 percent) and high rates of fathers present (more than half). This demonstrates that there are childhood environments that yield good outcomes for black males. The problem is that fewer than five percent of black children grow up in such environments. This is a startling finding, given the growing economic inequality in the black community.
This inequality can be seen in differences within racial categories in the Gini coefficient, a measure of income inequality that ranges from 0 (perfect equality) to 1 (maximum inequality). Although the absolute level of black income is well below that of whites, blacks nonetheless display the most intra-group income inequality, with a household Gini index of 0.50 in 2016, followed by whites and Hispanics at 0.47, and Asians at 0.46.
Indeed, one of the most significant changes in the past several decades is the remarkable gains in income among more affluent blacks. The percentage of black households with incomes of at least $75,000 more than doubled from 1975 to 2016, to 24 percent, adjusting for inflation. Those making $100,000 or more quadrupled to 15 percent. In contrast, white households saw a less impressive increase, from 13 to 31 percent. On the other hand, the percentage of black households with incomes below $15,000 only declined by six percentage points, to 20.6 percent, between 1975 and 2016.
Income inequality is related to income residential segregation, and a 2014 study by the sociologists Kendra Bischoff and Sean Reardon shows that income segregation in metropolitan areas with populations of more than 500,000 has grown rapidly in the last several years, especially among black families. Indeed, whereas black American families in 1970 recorded the lowest rates of income residential segregation, they now register the highest income segregation of all major racial and ethnic groups. The rising income segregation in the black community is driven by both the growth of affluent blacks and the deteriorating conditions of poor blacks.

Race, class, gender, place: all connected
On the one hand, then, race trumps class when the focus is on interracial differences in neighborhoods and neighborhood effects, as the research of Chetty and his colleagues so clearly demonstrates. But on the other hand, class trumps race when the focus in on changing intra-racial neighborhood differences, especially those within the black community. In each instance, it is the interaction between race and class that researchers and policymakers have to address, not a focus on one to the exclusion of the other.

Have you been experiencing symptoms such as migraines, joint pain, brain fog, tired all the time, skin issues, stomach issues. Or perhaps you have been diagnosed with thyroid disease, lupus, crohns disease, arthritis, fibromyalgia? Your symptoms could be related to a sensitivity to gluten/wheat.
Check out this very informative webinar on how to know if you are gluten sensitive or do you have Celiac disease?
Dr. Thomas O'Bryan has a gluten sensitivity support pack that I take with 6 different nutrients and it only cost $79.00 a month and have all the nutrients she recommends on this video. He also has a colustrum product that she mentions. This support pack is designed to heal the gut. If you were to buy all the nutrients in this pack seperate it would cost over $118.00 from another source. *We do not earn any type of referrals for recomending his products.

Supercharger Network Hosts
Submitted by eDave on Wed, 2013-01-30 13:25
Thinking about businesses that might be good candidates for partnering with Tesla to host Supercharger locations. Prerequisites would be: 1)National chain with thousands of locations and wide distribution. 2)Proximity to a freeway. 3)Can occupy drivers for 30 minutes. 4)Business that's not going away any time soon.
Hypothetical Press Release (Fill in the blank): "Tesla Partners with _________ To Host Supercharging Stations Across The US"
Any ideas? Here's a couple to get the conversation started...
- Starbucks
- Costco
- Home Depot
Brian H | 31 janvier 2013
Superchargers are too specialized (Tesla only) to be of interest to such businesses. They'd put in J1772 first. Probably will not happen.
Vawlkus | 31 janvier 2013
Tesla already partnered with someone to deploy the SCs. They're called Solar City.
DHrivnak | 31 janvier 2013
How about Cracker Barrel? Most in TN already have CHadeMO and J-1772 but only the 30 amp variety.
bellwilliam | 31 janvier 2013
+1 on Solar City. while the car is at Solar City office getting charged. Sales can try to sell him a $50k solar panels..
eDave | 1 février 2013
I'm not talking about deploying SC's... I'm talking about who hosts the footprint for the SC.
As for Solar City hosting SC's... There's only a few Solar City offices in only 14 states nationwide... microscopic vs retail chain distribution along interstates, and not exactly where drivers want to spend time while waiting for charge (vs coffee/restaurants/shopping).
Right now Tesla negotiates each SC location with the property owner. If they had a deal with a retail partner, it's one negotiation that would apply to many locations. Economies of scale, etc.
And the retailer would benefit from a captive audience. If just 10 cars per day use it, that's ~300 cars/month. If each driver+passengers spend $20 while waiting for charge, that's $6,000/mo new revenue... ON TOP OF whatever $ Tesla pays them to lease the space. WIN-WIN!

Hannah Thomas
Hannah Thomas will be at the 30A Songwriters Festival 2014 and continues on the road to Athens and Atlanta, GA to Asheville, NC and then Chicago and back down through Nashville — just in the next couple of weeks. Thomas is on the road constantly, honing her performances and playing for every crowd that will listen.
Buy her music here on Amazon .
From her bio:
Hannah Thomas has never liked labels, or playing just one kind of music. Amy Ray (of the Indigo Girls) describes Hannah's music best. (Hannah has) "the soul of old country, and that will always be there, but she's also a diehard rocker with some punk thrown in the mix" (Spring 2013 issue Georgia Music Magazine)
And Hannah has been playing that music for everyone who will listen. Having played over 200 shows in the past 18 months in more places than she can count, she also made time to record the 7 songs on her newest studio CD, "Goodbye on Wasted Time"
"Music is all I think about" says Thomas. And you can hear that dedication in her songs. From the soulful bluesy "Church on Friday" to the tale of life in the country ("Watch Out for the Deer") to rockers like "Goodbye on Wasted Time and "Pacifier" (the latter featuring Amy Ray on guest vocals) Hannah keeps her audience's attention by never having two songs sound the same.
And there is no denying Hannah has what it takes to move to the next level. Eddie Owen (founder Eddie's Attic, now at Georgia's Red Clay Theater) was asked about Hannah for a recent issue of Georgia Music Magazine and said "For any performing songwriter to advance through the levels, several common variables are required – talent, an unending discipline and work ethic, no hesitancy in self-assurance and self-promotion, and an unending desire to learn and become better. If one has all that there is still the 'being in the right place at the right time' factor. Hannah has the first four factors, so when that opportunity comes, she'll be ready."

This week expect to see a wave of images and video footage of women and children being "abused" by U.S. border agents. (Even though approximately 80% of the migrant caravan is made up of young men.) This is the conflict the Soros-funded invasion has wanted all along, a conflict intended to soften the hearts (and minds) of enough Americans who will then demand America open its borders to all who wish to enter. A nation without borders is not a nation and that is exactly what globalist propogandists like George Soros want most for that will be the end of the United States as we know it.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection closed a section of the southern border with Mexico on Sunday and fired tear gas at a group of migrants that tried to breach a fence separating the two countries.
CNN reported that road and pedestrian bridge access at the San Ysidro port had been closed. The major artery connects San Diego, Calif., and Tijuana, Mexico.
Video footage from journalists on-site shows hundreds of migrants rushing toward the U.S. border.
The Associated Press reported that U.S. officials fired tear gas at the migrants as they attempted to break through the fence.
Who Is Paying For The Chartered Buses That Are Dropping Migrants Off At The U.S. Border?
Thousands of people have been dropped off via chartered bus at America's southern border with potentially thousands more to do the same in the coming days. Think about that – chartered buses. The Establishment Media would have us believe thousands of people in Central America suddenly picked up simultaneously for a long journey to the U.S. where they would all attempt to claim asylum and during the last stretch of that trip they would arrive via charter bus. Wait, it gets worse. Eyewitness accounts estimate up to 80% of those getting off the busses are young males, not the women and children the media has been so quick to show.
Several charter buses arrived just after midnight Tuesday at the Unidad Deportiva Benito Juarez, the sports complex that the city opened as a makeshift shelter. It's unclear exactly how many migrants were in the latest group. But inside, there were 3,000 other migrants who had arrived in Tijuana since last week.
Other observers have noticed something else about the caravans of people pushing up against the southern border – most appear to be very well fed.
All of which leads to the question of who is providing food and transportation to thousands at a cost of what would likely be hundreds of thousands of dollars? Some say anti-American globalist, George Soros. Others claim it might be Central American governments. Whoever it is, they clearly want to create mass chaos at the border and directly challenge President Trump's tough border security stance.
For now the thousands of migrants are waiting in Mexico as the Trump administration has all but closed down the border crossing.
More busses are arriving, though, and with it more chaos and a greater chance for violence as the Establishment Media cameras watch and wait to use such images to push the border back open, quite possibly for good so they can claim victory against the president and the American sovereignty the president is working so hard to protect.
The Establishment Media is none too happy about this development. Look for them to further push the plight of these 'immigrants' and use illicit funding to get Mexican authorities to allow the mob of 4000+ to pass into Mexico.
For now, though, the demands of President Trump are winning the day.
The caravan of Honduran migrants has turned around Friday — a day after reaching the Mexico-Guatemala border, according to a report.
The caravan arrived at the border in southern Mexico on Thursday but turned around Friday just before 11 a.m. local time about two blocks from the border crossing, saying they would wait another hour or so, the Associated Press reported.
The disorganized crowd chanted, "one way or another, we will pass" and "we are not smugglers, we are immigrants," as they moved closer toward the border bridge.
The bridge is being heavily guarded by hundreds of Mexican federal police and Guatemalan police in riot gear, as well as tall metal gates.
And this is what the globalists hope to bring to America.


Pinus wallichiana is a large broad-crowned evergreen tree, forming an elegant pyramidal specimen tree at maturity. It has soft long, slender, drooping blue-grey needles. The cones are initially green-violet, slender, like bananas with pearls of thick resin, turning light brown when mature. Bhutan Pine needs warmth and a sheltered position; prefers well-drained soil and is a great choice for parkland or large gardens. Its mature height is around 15 to 20m.

Home Political Newly Resurfaced Sex Scandal Could Have DEVASTATING Consequences For Hillary
Newly Resurfaced Sex Scandal Could Have DEVASTATING Consequences For Hillary
By Eva Hart -
During Bill's stretch in the Oval Office, there were countless sexual misconduct allegations against him. Now that Hillary is running for office, many important Democratic primary states are digging deeply into the Clintons' extensive scandal records, and what they're finding could mean bad news for the Presidential hopeful.
In 1983, Bill reportedly had an affair with black prostitute, Bobbie Ann Williams, while he was visiting Little Rock, Arkansas. Buddy Young, a former Arkansas State Trooper, claims that he drove Bill and Bobbie to her mother's house for an extended, intimate stay, where she was paid $400 plus a $50 dollar tip.
Flash-forward about 28 years, and you can definitely see the striking resemblance to Danny Williams' alleged biological father.
This is where the story gets a little odd. During Clinton's presidential campaign in 1992, Little Rock businessman,Robert McIntosh, was hell-bent on spreading the story of Clinton's love affair with Williams, but then all of a sudden, abruptly stopped. Clinton never offered to submit DNA for a paternity test, but after he was elected President, McIntosh's son was coincidentally released from a long-term prison sentence. Sounds to me like someone was bribed to keep their mouth shut.
ViaThe Political Insider:
Lucille Bolton, Dannys aunt, says the man, now about age 28, is definitely Bills son: Theres no buts, theres no ifs, theres no supposes about it.
The reason why this story has taken so long to come to the surface is Bobbie has an extensive criminal record. But the Star tabloid ran DNA tests on the son, comparing it to the sample Clinton was required to produce during Kenneth Starrs investigation during the Clinton investigations. But the sample left by Clinton has been tainted, or possibly altered by government agents for security reasons. Therefore, even if we see the test results soon, they may be worthless.
Williams claims that Clinton was her only white client at the time of her son, Danny's, conception
Having the Clintons back in the White House would be a huge mistake. Withtheir combined history of shady and detestable actions, there's no telling what kind of things they could be blackmailed into.

Site HomeNews ArchiveHow many points for promotion?
How many points for promotion?
21 Jan 2019 11:52pm, by YorkshireSquare
Leeds United entered the new year top of the Championship table having been top of the pile throughout the festive season. History shows us the team topping the table on Christmas Day usually wins promotion to the Premier League. In the last five seasons Wolverhampton Wanderers (1st in 2017/18), Newcastle United (1st in 2016/17), Middlesbrough (2nd in 2015/16), Bournemouth (1st in 2014/15) and Leicester City (1st in 2013/14) have all been top at Christmas and been promoted. But as Leeds fans we are always cautious about getting carried away.
So how many points have the last five teams in second place ended up with; 90 (2017/18), 93 (2016/17), 89 (2015/16), 89 (2014/15) and 93 (2013/14). The average over those five years would indicate 90 points would usually be enough to gain promotion. After 28 games Leeds have an average of 1.928 points per game, translated over the rest of the season this would give a total of 89 points. The competitive nature of this years Championship probably means 89 points is enough to gain promotion. Indeed the bookies at https://www.betbrain.com/free-bets/ have Leeds down as favourites for promotion; Leeds United 1/3, Norwich City 2/3 and Sheffield United 1/1.
Our form this month has not been great but Norwich have won only one in their last five league matches, Sheff United had a run of one win in four not so long ago and West Brom were winless in three before Monday night. Looking at the expected goals (xG) statistic Leeds United and Norwich are currently above their expected points tally both about on course for automatic promotion. Sheffield United fall well below their expected points tally but their recent good run has brought them back into contention.
Graphic courtesy of EFL Stats
Looking at the fixtures nine wins, six draws and two losses from our last eighteen games should be enough to see us through. Possible, but with games against promotion rivals Norwich, Middlesbrough, West Brom, Bristol City and Sheffield Utd there are some tough games left and these results could be crucial to our promotion chances. Check out leedsmad's predictions for the run in and let us know what you think…
Rotherham Win
Norwich Win
Middlesboro Draw
Swansea Win
QPR Draw
Bolton Win
West Brom Draw
Bristol City Loss
Sheffield Utd Draw

Chitradurga fort is one of the important heritage sites of Karnataka. It is beautifully nestled on a hill top and is known for its architecture.
This fort is also regarded as the `Fort of Seven Rounds` and the British used to call it `Chitaldoorg`.
Chitradurga fort is one of the ancient sites in Karnataka. It is said that the Pandavas visited this place with their mother during their exile.
I read somewhere that eighteen temples were built in the upper part of the fort.
It is probably the biggest fort in Karnataka. This fort is ideal for the history lovers.
Can anyone tell me the visiting information regarding this fort?
Is there any story behind the naming of this fort?
Hey guys, read this article: www.indianetzone.com/21/chitradurga_fort_historical_site_karnataka.htm Lots of information is there.


"Hello guys, my name's Joshua Hewitt and I'm a vlogger at The Hewitt Collective and I focus on travel and lifestyle, as well as campaign videos.
"I'm very excited to be going on work experience at doublejump studios, Cromac Avenue, Belfast.
"Doublejump are a video production company, meaning that they put your ideas to life.
"I'm really nervous and I'm actually quite anxious about how it goes but it's going to be good fun and it's going to be a learning curve for myself as well.
"Very excited to see how this whole day plans out and I know that it's going to be good, it's a learning curve, let's see how it goes!"
"Right Josh, so today I've got a little task for you. I want you to work on a title board for your vlog and we're going to show you how to overlay graphics into your blog as well.
"This should add some extra production value and really make it stand out!
"If we were doing this kind of thing for a client, it helps tie their brand into their story and makes it a much stronger piece for them.
"You don't always have to be the most technical person in the world, you can learn technical skills but you can't learn to be creative.
"So as long as you're a creative person and you're passionate, you should be good at this task. So let's see how you do.
"Okay Josh, have you ever done any graphics work with videos before? Well it's not that difficult and I'll show you how to do it.
"I notice you like vlogging so I've taken a clip from one of your vlogs where you're doing some 'dabbing' and the first thing we need to do is isolate that little clip.
"So what we're going to do is bring it into a programme called After Effects and we're going to composite some 1960's Batman style dabs on top of it.
"Alright Josh so I've shown you the basics of how to do that I'm going to give you a go now and see how you get on."
"I'm having an absolutely amazing time here so far just learning the ropes of Illustrator and also learning the ropes of After Effects as well.
"These are things that I just couldn't teach myself so it's really enjoyable and I'm having a really good time!
"Just to be able to use graphics to put into the vlog is amazing and it teaches me to be more creative and make the vlogs more appealing to the audience and it's just a great skill that I've learned today."
"That's looks awesome, it looks great!
"You're already a pro in half a day."
"So I found the work experience very, very enjoyable and I was doing something that I loved in a very fun and creative environment so I just thought it was amazing to be doing stuff that I never actually thought I could learn.
"I enjoyed every single second of being there and meeting all the guys that work there, they are all absolutely incredible."


The Search for Shaw Continues on Person of Interest: M.I.A.
On Tuesday, Person of Interest returned to our TVs, and the search for Shaw continued with Reese and Root following the lead from the previous episode ( Control-Alt-Delete) and end up in simple looking town, while Finch helps from home base, and also asks Fusco for some help with another number. Gif-heavy spoilers after the break.
Following a white truck believed to be carrying Shaw takes Reese and Root to Maple, NY, a seemingly quiet suburb that John even refers to as "Pleasantville".
Root is anxious to find Shaw, knowing that the longer it takes, the lower their chances get. But she's still very hopeful. She mentions Schrodinger's cat, but is confident that when the box is opened, this cat won't be dead.
There are only 2 ways in and out of the town, so John uses his NYPD detective cover job to see if the local sheriff can help out with survelliance footage. Rather than John's badge, what gets the sleazy sheriff to help out is Root flirting with him (anything for Shaw). It turns out the actual part of the survelliance footage with the truck is corrupted. When Root asks to see the backup drives, the sheriff tries to get a date out of it and instead is roughed up and knocked unconscious. While that was going on, John manages to grab a few powerful looking firearms from the sheriff's office.
They learn that the truck entered the town but never left, so it looks like they'll be staying the night. John checks them into a B&B while Root drags the bagged sheriff up the stairs.
Questioning the sheriff gives them a new lead, a company called Carrow. It seems the town was in trouble, but then this tech company came in, gave everyone jobs and things were great. But then things started to go not so great. People who protested or questioned Carrow would turn up missing, dead, or broke. So the two decide to grab the mayor lady "in charge" of the company (thanks for the correction note, Chitwood15) and see what she knows. And once again, Reese and Root get to play "bad cop, scary cop".
Using a power drill, Root is able to scare some info out of her, including that she saw Shaw being taken into the Carrow building, and that she just does what she's told because she doesn't want to die. The two quickly figure out that Carrow is Samaritan, and it's basically running a live experiment to see how people work, because it hasn't had someone like Finch to teach it like The Machine did. So first it provides them all with a perfect life, then it starts to see how they handle it when things go bad. Root also thanks the lady with a drill through the hand.
Their other lead is a doctor, who it turns out was called for over the phone surgery advice. He was set up by Samaritan for malpractice after daring to question Carrow. This info leads Root and Reese to believe Shaw is still alive and being held in Carrow. Lucky for them, the mayor can get them in, and Root does her thing (the other one).
They discover that Samaritan has been creating tracking devices, including ones that can be implanted. The mayor also mentions a blonde woman who had told her what to do, probably Samaritan's main operative Martine. They also find someone on an operating table, but it's another woman who was shot at the stock exchange. She gets saved, and the two leave, still unsure of Shaw's fate.
Root doesn't want to give up, but The Machine seems to want her to, at least for now.
They get a call from a nearby payphone, and are given the letters spelling out "stop".
She really is alive!!!! She's being held captive by Greer, but on the plus side it seems they treated all her wounds, which means she could eventually escape and then go into hiding until such time as it doesn't put the team in danger (and Sarah Shahi can come back to work after having her twins and maybe the production team can provide daycare).
Meanwhile, while all this was going on, Finch pays Fusco (who's also anxious to know if they've found Sameen) a visit at the precinct and gives him a new number. A man who is in town visiting his young niece and seems like a regular shmuck about to get killed. Then Fusco notices former IA Dani Silva watching him, and after teaming up they find out he's actually a hitman, and a very successful one at that, having taken out several witnesses to upcoming trials. They then thwart his current assignment and eventually apprehend him. By which I mean, he's been caught but then tries to go out shooting and is promptly killed. Case closed.
It was actually a pretty good side story. Lately, the numbers have all been potential victims, so it was good to get a reminder that it can be victim or prepretrator. And it's good to see Fusco get to just do some regular police work. Sort of. He still gets phone call info from Finch, and Silva is also doing this off the books.
Notes/thoughts: seeing Shaw alive at the end was the best.
Update: Thanks for mainpaging this, Charlie Jane!

Rapist father to appear in court this week
Honiara City, Laws, Police, Top Headlines
Acting Police Commissioner Juanita Matanga.
A father will appear before court on Tuesday this week for allegedly raping his two daughters over the period of five years.
The two girls, aged 14 and 17 are now under police protection after their father was arrested last month.
Acting Police Commissioner Juanita Matanga said the allegations dated back to 2014, with the most recent incident that took place on 29th April, last month.
Ms. Matanga said the suspect is facing five counts of rape and police were continuing their investigation with the case.
"This is a very sad case for all of us, this is one of the examples of young girls have been victimized by a person who they trust and in a position to look after them, and in this case , the rape suspect is the fatrher of the victims," she said.
"So it is important for us to encourage people who are in this type of situation to come forward and have trust in the police, so that we can address and reduce this problem."

Intelligence Support and Mission Planning Requirements for Autonomous Precision Guided Weapons
Implications for Intelligence Support Plan Development
by Myron Hura, Gary W. McLeod
Add to Cart Paperback79 pages $13.00 $10.40 20% Web Discount
Most Air Force precision-guided weapons (PGWs) require the assistance of an operator to reach their targets. Autonomous PGWs, now being developed, require substantial intelligence data to support mission planning and employment and to achieve high delivery accuracy. The authors of this report examined the support requirements for two categories of PGWs: those with target-imaging sensors and those that rely on an inertial navigation system aided by the global positioning system. They found that the latter require much less information about their targets than the former, but need much more precise absolute coordinates for their targets. These can be readily provided by trained intelligence personnel from existing data. The use of PGWs with target-imaging sensors is hindered by a lack of definitive specifications for target data to support terminal-area planning and a lack of a methodology for validating terminal-area products. Central intelligence-support and mission-planning organizations can currently supply these and, as resources allow, could transfer these capabilities to wing operations centers.
This report is part of the RAND Corporation monograph report series. The monograph/report was a product of the RAND Corporation from 1993 to 2003. RAND monograph/reports presented major research findings that addressed the challenges facing the public and private sectors. They included executive summaries, technical documentation, and synthesis pieces.

In praise of the starship ceiling
January 20, 2022 / Brendan
The ceiling of the bridge on the Enterprise 1701-D has not, I feel, had sufficient love bestowed upon it. I am very fond of all the purplish-gray, padded-upholstery, conference-hotel interior design elements of TNG, but their relationship with the progress of aesthetic trends in this century has not been entirely amicable or graceful. But the ceiling I'm talking about doesn't seem dated or even retro, perhaps because it started as retro: I'm no expert, but to me this design reads as pretty much straight Art Nouveau.
That's actually from the rebuild they did for Generations (1994), but it's the best view I can find from an actual photo. Most of what shows up in image searches now is from fan CGI recreations, but I think the quality of light and material you can see there are an important part of what I'm talking about. It's of a piece with the rest of the set, but it also looks like something set apart. Here's a partial perspective from an actual episode.
I noticed this angle while watching "Descent" with Kat, whose enjoyment of TNG is mild and reserved largely for the characters of Lore and Hugh. It was the first time I'd realized that the center of the ceiling is actually a porthole with stars in it. There's a helpful writeup about the origins of the design on Forgotten Trek, but it focuses more on the production history than on concept artist Andrew Probert's thought process.
It doesn't address this either, but I suspect that the production function of the ceiling as a stage light was pretty helpful. While it looks like at least in the first season, they did set up lights for each individual shot the way one normally does on a soundstage, the show's primary set also had a built-in hemispherical softbox! The crew could bounce flattering light on multiple sides of an actor's face without having to do anything special or worry about lamp stands getting in the shot. Meanwhile, the science station alcoves in the back are shielded from that soft light by the overhang and can be lit by monitors, from underneath, for increased drama whenever Geordi tells the captain that teching the tech tech is worth a shot.
I really wonder if Ron Moore was thinking about the soft light of that design, two shows later, when they came up with the layout of the Battlestar Galactica CIC.
I say this with love: it is an inferior design, at least in terms of pure spatial reference. I watched every single episode and webisode of BSG, and I never had any idea what the horizontal axes of this room were supposed to be, or what most of the people on screen were doing. The nice thing about having all the chairs turned in the same direction as Picard when he points at his big tv-windshield and says "go" is that, as an audience member, you don't have to guess whether that's the front of the spaceship. Sure, maybe it makes military sense that the CIC would be buried in the deepest and most armored part of a battlestar, rather than having a big round window on top of it. But in effect it often felt more like they were sitting around somewhere underground, not charging into the fray or leaping through the fracking galaxy.
As pieces of functional stage go, though, the CIC poetically inverts the bridge in a way that works well. Its ceiling is a pit of darkness; almost every light on set faces upward or bounces off the floor, casting faces into shadow. Maximum drama at all times! In Star Trek, the captain can always look around and see the face of someone who's going to give him a suggestion for the problem at hand. But in BSG, everyone keeps their eyes down, because they all know none of their answers are going to be good ones.
"This, to me, is the definition of a desert island film: a foundational text, a perennial source of comfort, a go-to reference that lives, in the parlance of today's youth and the adults who want to be like them, rent-free in one's brain."
"In a tree's rings you can see the years of drought."
April 13, 2021 / Brendan
Sumana's been on a pretty amazing run of posts, and this one struck me right through:
"We come together every once in a while to refill on trust and camaraderie and a shared understanding of what we're trying to do and who we're trying to do it for; I assume that, for some folks, those wells have now run dry."
Eight years ago, I was already feeling a kind of nostalgia for my own version of con season, even though I was right there in the thick of it. A long summer is one thing, but a drought is another. I feel the ache for my friends as if it's a loss, even though, by impossible fortune, I don't think I have lost anyone yet. But the time we could have spent together is life we won't get back.
It's Still June Somewhere, Part 1
August 25, 2020 / Brendan
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006): Second in a series of "bittersweet, moving anime movies about adolescent feelings as crystallized through a speculative fiction device which I watched with Kat and her friends Courtney and Kailey, which activity has delivered some of my favorite moments in the last few months." Not quite the technical or emotional haymaker of Your Name. (2016), but why only compare it to the first movie in the series of "bittersweet, moving anime movies about adolescent feelings as crystallized through a speculative fiction device which I watched with Kat and her friends Courtney and Kailey, which activity has delivered some of my favorite moments in the last few months?" I wish I'd known about this movie a decade ago, when it became clear that the entire genre of Teen Movies had given way to the juggernaut of Young Adult Adaptations—two ways of telling a story with the same target audience but very different ways of getting there. I think this story draws a bridge between those approaches pretty well. The animation style is interesting: I'd bet it made heavy use of rotoscoping, there's some frame-stretching every time they go to slow-mo, and the lighting on most of the characters is quite flat, all of which are ways to save money in production. But assuming that was a budget decision, I think it was a smart one, because it looks more stylized than cheap.
A Whisker Away (2020): See this is what I was talking about with "a particular wistful, hazy-gold anime-style aesthetic" back in my review of Your Name. Third in a series of "bittersweet, moving anime movies about adolescent feelings as crystallized through a speculative fiction device which I watched with Kat and her friends Courtney and Kailey, which activity has delivered some of my favorite moments in the last few months" but also the one that skews youngest—more a middle grade story than a YA story, if that makes sense. It didn't get me quite as much as the others, and I had some difficulty tracking the pace of events, but the plot threw me some good curveballs! I wish it had been distributed under a direct translation of its Japanese title, Wanting to Cry, I Pretend to Be a Cat.
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2001): Same animation-watching crew, same country of origin, but quite different otherwise. Kat led me through the entirety of Cowboy Bebop: The Series back in the spring, a formative influence on her and on many of my friends which I'd never glanced at before. I liked it very much and I wish I'd watched it sooner, and yes, yes, Lisa et al, you were right to pester me about it. That said, I'm glad I got to watch this outside the context of its original release in September of 2001.
The movie amounts to an extra-long episode of the series with more money involved, and since it came out after the series ended—and was set partway through its chronology—it's quite episodic. I was glad of the chance to hang out with all the characters again after the series conclusion, but that separation flattened its emotional impact. My least favorite TV trope is when the writers introduce their new OC, demand that we get emotionally involved in their story by having the whole recurring cast just react to them, and then heap pathos on whatever happens to them, from which we learn nothing about the main cast, and after which the guest is never mentioned again. It's not exactly a Mary Sue—just a boring device that is invariably going to happen when you're a writers' room working on an episodic show. (This also happens a lot when you're playing a tabletop RPG with the kind of DM who's more interested in telling their own story than hearing yours.)
Anyway, this movie isn't that, but its place in the canon means it can't quite avoid touching the trope with one toe. But I had a great time watching it! The fight animation looks great, the backgrounds have a beautiful depth, and I got to hear Kat clap and cackle when Spike says "I love the kind of woman that can kick my ass."
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995): Mmmaybe the first film focused on queer characters that I watched? Much like Paris is Burning (1990)—from which I'd bet it directly lifted its opening scene—it now seems clear that there is a missed opportunity here; RuPaul is the only actual drag queen with a (brief) speaking role. But I was glad to learn from this touching retrospective on how the film got made that its creation included and involved gay people, at least. And because of that I think it holds up pretty well. Mitch Kohn writes "the film itself may not have sparked much if any social change," and indeed I don't know about "sparked." But it's in part because of this movie that I grew up in small-town Kentucky perceiving drag as something fun and attractive, not menacing. I'm grateful for that, and fond of this.
Notting Hill (1999): Caroline Siede's AV Club series on romantic comedies, one per year, has been reliably great and insightful; after reading the linked article about Notting Hill I found myself nostalgic and talked Kat into watching it with me. She had never seen it; I remembered it fondly, but unlike To Wong Foo, the surface sheen is gone for me here.
During my most intense phase of teenage longing for heartache fiction, I was ready to project a lot of subtlety onto work that didn't actually have much to offer. Even a few years later, I had figured out that ridiculous movies like In Love and War (1996) or Bed of Roses (1996) were not worth the feelings I had assigned to them—though While You Were Sleeping (1995) is still one for the ages. I don't think WYWS is shot remarkably better than Notting Hill—though it does have a better score—and I don't think Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts lack for chemistry and charm.
But one of a few things that has happened between my initial viewing of Notting Hill and the present day is that its writer, Richard Curtis, directed Love Actually (2003), which I have been made to watch several times and which I dislike more with each repetition. The similarities in stagy dialogue and artificial stakes are obvious now, and are more than enough to sink this movie for me. Its bravura long take introduced me to Bill Withers, though, once upon a time, and it is one bit that's still worth watching.
Shaolin and Wu Tang (1983): Man, it has been a very long time since I wrote about movies! One thing I started doing back in May is subscribing to a series of live-streamed movies through 36 Cinema, which is a spinoff from 36 Chambers, which as you might guess is a Wu-Tang production—specifically, one created by RZA and a startup marketing dude named Mustafa Shaikh. A link to the livestream costs ten bucks, but you're not just watching the movie, you're listening to live commentary from a couple of charming experts. For the first few, that was RZA himself, accompanied by Dan Halsted! You probably don't know who that is, but he has made cameos in movie roundups of days past, because he's the guy with the huge celluloid collection who programs and presents Kung Fu Movie Night at the Hollywood Theater in Portland.
I found this combination irresistible: two nerds who not only have decades of history with the genre, but have done a lot of work in their respective ways to honor it and introduce it to new audiences. They named appearances by veteran actors and talked about production history; Dan told stories about finding stacks of film reels in disused auditoriums and RZA pointed out different styles of kung fu in action. I learned a lot! Despite that, my full notes on the film read as follows: "this movie rules."
Shogun Assassin (1980): Same situation as above, except this time my notes read, in toto, "this movie rules so hard." It actually comprises the opening of one Lone Wolf And Cub movie and the remainder of another in the same series, but it works really well! (And it was originally distributed by Roger Corman!) Because it's a samurai movie, of course, not a kung fu movie, there's lots of standing still while blood fountains out of people rather than intricately matching choreography. I never got into Lone Wolf or any of its various adaptations—I have a hard time with impassive, impenetrable protagonists, inasmuch as Ogami functions as a protagonist at all. But the use of film as a medium—composition, color grading, bold editing, even vignetting—is superb.
Notes from the New Normish
Hi, we're alive and fine. My privilege is as evident as ever, as my daily routine of isolation with Kat resembles what Maria called "an extended snow day," mostly but not entirely without snow. I hurt for the sick and grieving; I worry for the essential and vulnerable; I watch Bon Appetit and experiment with vegan baking; I do my internet job and I watch out my window and wait. Here are some things that have held my interest in the last little while.
As mentioned in asides, I read too much about menswear online and off these days. My favorite habit is to bargain-hunt for clothes from Japan on eBay, prance around the living room in them to aggravate Kat, and then secret them away so I can buy more. But the emergent result is that I've learned a lot about things I might have disdained ten years ago. I don't have any special interest in James Bond, for instance, but Matt Spaiser's blog about the tailoring of the films has taught me a ton about men's fashion in the last sixty years. His post on how Cary Grant's suit in North by Northwest (1959) went on to influence Bond's costuming is a great example of the dry clarity of his writing.
It seems like I've never written about Porpentine Charity Heartscape here before, which is strange, as her work has loomed large in my view and admiration for… seven years? Eight? Her work in writing and game design blends the sweet, the filthy, the transgender and transhuman, the pure and the skin-crawlingly cute in a way I find singular in every sense. If that sentence doesn't hint at some content warnings, then I hope this one does. But that boundary is very much worth braving if you are so emotionally equipped. Her recent story "Dirty Wi-Fi" on Strange Horizons is a good introduction to her prose and perspective.
Despite my limited dabbling in microelectronics, I can't follow many of the technical specifics in this review of process and call for aid on a final, perfect Super Nintendo emulator. But the SNES was a system that still informs my design and aesthetic sensibilities, twenty-seven years later, and I respect the author's work very much. The most striking quote to me:
"I can tell you why this is important to me: it's my life's work, and I don't want to have to say I came this close to finishing without getting the last piece of it right. I'm getting older, and I won't be around forever. I want this final piece solved."
What an extraordinary thing it seems, to me, to know what your life's work is. I hope one day I do.
General Clap
July 27, 2018 / Brendan
Hey, I finally discovered that back in May I placed in the 2018 Lyttle Lytton contest! Specifically I placed with an entry in the Found division—just scroll down to where my name is spelled wrong. I am proud even though it's not like I wrote anything for it. But the reason the biggest category on this old blog is called "connections" is that I still delight in plugging one thing (a bad sentence I read) into another thing (a web site I love).
And there are a lot of connections that really worked for me in this year's list! It's good company to be in. Not only did another Found winner pull an egregious bit from my most hated episode of one of my all-time favorite shows, but there's an entry under the Perennials that recalls my first entry. There are bullet journal and Engagement Chicken jokes too (hi Kat). But the thing that really rang my bell was seeing a semi-vanished webcomic writer—someone I still admire—pop in with a brilliant entry, and Adam Cadre give her a wink and a nod. I don't chase the Internet as hard as I used to, but I'm glad the cool-kid serendipity of a decade ago isn't all gone.

The past is a foreign country: I miss my friends who live there
June 22, 2017 / Brendan
In April my friend Russ Gilman-Hunt died. He was one of the first four people who worked at my job with me. He was funny, kind and clever. He was not very much older than me, but he had a deadpan world-weary affect and a quiet warmth that made him seem like everyone's dad. I wish I had known him better, but most of his life was outside work, with his wife and two children and his community in the SCA. I wish they still had him.
In May I lost the job where I had worked with Russ, as did a number of my colleagues. I have a lot of support from people who care for me, and I am lucky in my socioeconomic class; that has allowed me to inform myself that this is an opportunity, more than a setback. (I have done so often and stridently.) I will probably have a new job soon. I like working, if not always working terribly hard. I hope I can make that work amount to something good.
It sometimes feels like the only things I write here are podcast show notes and epitaphs. I haven't allowed myself much time to work on podcasts in the last month; hunting for what I perceive as a replacement means of survival has meant little available concentration for creative work. So this goes in the epitaph category. Sure wish there were fewer of those.
I didn't always love my old job but I always liked it, and I took comfort in the idea that I was cultivating a good place to bring in new people and help them excel. I wanted to contribute patches to the leaky pipeline. I think Russ did too. I don't know how much of that we managed. Some of the people I patched in got laid off with me. I'd say we did what good we could while seeing to our own survival, but. Well.
A job that you treat like just a job is, eventually, just a job. I want the work of my life to be more than that. Maybe in seven more years—if, God forbid, this WordPress install is still operating—I'll tell you how that's going.
In February I got an email from my old laptop, and then another, both suggesting that it was in Germany. I had not seen that laptop since it left the back of my car through a shattered window in 2010. The home page of its default browser, at the time, happened to be one I controlled and that was not linked anywhere else, so I told that page to blare alarms and notify me when and whence it was requested. It took seven years for that to (probably?) happen. I wonder if someone actually has that laptop, in more or less the same crumbling shape it was when it vanished. I wonder how well they read English, and what they can find out about me if they dig around on it. Surely nothing worse than the things I've written here myself.
I guess what I am doing here is reflecting, which is to say, looking for myself in a flawed surface. I started writing online in part because I wanted attention and in part because I already knew that my built-in memory could not be trusted to retain my life. My pipe is too leaky. All pipes are too leaky. Among my driving fears is the idea that anything I lose is lost forever, and that history unminded is a black hole, a /dev/null, a point of no return.
But to really believe that is to assert that I know the future, which is presumptive: the future and I have never met. Sometimes a setback is an opportunity. Sometimes the past writes you an email. Sometimes a kid whose dad dies grows up a whole person anyway. Even black holes leak back.
Dual Reflections on Cruel Intentions
It's time once again for Reel 90s Kids, the podcast you have forgotten that we did one time! We have now done it again. Here is the audio click button thing that tells you the wrong file duration, and below it are the show notes.
http://www.xorph.com/nfd/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/cruelintentions.mp3
0:00 – Thanks to Oliver Schories for this episode's intro song, which I think has a 40% chance of deeply irritating my cohost.
5:23 – I could put links to the Wikipedia articles for Les Liaisons Dangereuses and Dangerous Liaisons here, but you can type names into Wikipedia as well as I can.
8:37 –
10:48 – Sorry, Mr. Lester.
12:41 – Shooter the 2007 movie; Shooter the 2016 TV series. Since we recorded this episode, USA has apparently decided we've had a long enough gap between mass shootings to actually premiere and air it! Yaaaay
17:03 – Judge for yourself.
19:03 – I cannot put anything about the confluence of Bittersweet Symphony and Shakespeare in Love in the show notes, because my brain completely manufactured it. Why did I think this was a thing?! If you have a clue, please call our toll-free line.
20:13 – Audio taken from this Fusion interview.
22:48 – Movie studios were forced to stop running their own theaters by United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc, in 1948.

28:44 – The eclectic production history of Cruel Intentions 2, a "2000 American comedy-drama prequel."
31:13 – I neglected to congratulate her, but Anne batted a thousand on these!
35:55 – The Deadline story in question. Alas, Cruel Intentions was not picked up to series after all.
37:35 – See you back here for the Drive Me Crazy episode in June 2019!
38:11 – And thanks to Jade Berlin and her terrifying accompanist for our outro music:
A Timely Varsity Blues Podcast
May 4, 2016 / Brendan
Apparently the thing I do here now is, once a year, post a podcast I made with friends about a movie that already came out. This time I made one with my friend Anne! It's about the non-classic 90s Teen Film Varsity Blues, for no clear reason that either of us could recall. Despite our claims at the beginning, we DID think of a belated title for it: Reel 90s Kids.
Because we remember.
I'm not going to link to the site we discuss for the latter half of the podcast because I don't want to make anyone's life sadder, including yours. I have faith in your ability to find it if you want to. Please don't. Special thanks to small genius Aidan James for our outro music!

Prepping my meals on Sundays lets me devote more conscious thought to what I put in my body over the course of a hectic workweek. This way, I'm able to avoid afternoon sluggishness and loss of focus. When 3 p.m. comes around and you're as productive as you were at 10 a.m., you can actually run your business differently (i.e., better). I've also noticed that eating well helps my control decision fatigue, particularly when I'm mentally drained toward the evening.

A year since Covid emerged, Americans in Wuhan are afraid again — for the U.S.
Janis Mackey Frayer and Adela Suliman
December 30, 2020, 7:45 AM ·6 min read
WUHAN, China — Benjamin Wilson, a Louisiana native who lives in the Chinese city where the Covid-19 virus was first identified a year ago, is watching the unfolding crisis back home with disappointment.
"I would be very afraid if I were living in the States," said Wilson, who has lived in Wuhan, the sprawling capital of Hubei province, for almost two decades. "I didn't really think that I would be where I'm at now, worried more about my family than myself."
The contrast between his homeland and his adopted home is stark, the English teacher said. Although he endured more than 70 days of strict lockdown, that at times made him feel almost "imprisoned," being shuttered indoors was a sacrifice that has paid off, he said.
Now, Wuhan is "one of the safest places in the world," he added.

More than 338,000 people have died from the coronavirus in the United States so far, more than anywhere else in the world and more Americans than were killed in battle during World War II, according to data from the Department of Veterans' Affairs.
While many health experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have warned the outbreak in the U.S. is only set to get worse.
President Donald Trump's government has been criticized for bungling the response to the public health crisis that has defined 2020. Trump held mask-free gatherings, appeared to promote unproven virus treatments, and later tested positive himself.
Trump has maintained that he took early steps to stem the spread of the virus, including barring entry to some foreigners, among them those travelling from China. Despite this, America remains out front with both the highest number of coronavirus cases and deaths on the planet.
Wuhan, meanwhile, mass tested its entire population of 11 million in June and has recently begun vaccinating key groups in the city, according to state media.
In China overall, a country of some 1.4 billion people, the government says the virus has killed over 4,600 people, the majority in Wuhan — although experts say the statistics should be treated with caution.
Earlier this week, a national study of blood anti-bodies showed that more than 4 percent of Wuhan's 11 million people may have been exposed to the coronavirus — 10 times the number recorded officially by mid-April.
It's undeniable, however, that the virus has exacted a much more devastating toll on America.
Epidemic 'well handled'
One year later, Wuhan's streets are humming with activity. A new exhibition filled with photos and interactive displays that pay tribute to how Wuhan fought the virus has attracted thousands of visitors.
Meanwhile, residents say they have government authorities to thank for the return of quotidian life.

"Now that the epidemic has been well-handled, our lives gradually are getting back on the normal track," a retiree, Yang Xiuhua, 67, told NBC News.
China funneled national resources and expertise into the city, mobilizing nearly 43,000 medical staff from January to March, according to the state-owned Global Times, in the country's largest medical support operation since 1949.
But the specter of the virus still looms in Wuhan. Li Chuanbi, 70, said that while he can now exercise in the park and meet with friends, he remains cautious.
"It'd be a lie if I tell you I'm not concerned," he said. "People are worried that the pandemic will come back."
Many in Wuhan still don masks and businesses check temperatures and offer sanitizer, in this city hugging the Yangtze River. But shops and restaurants are buzzing, schools are open and streets crowded once again.
Startling photos demonstrating the swift bounce back have gone viral on social media.

One depicted swimmers packed inside a Wuhan water park, as a DJ took to the stage — an arresting image from the original virus epicenter, as Covid-19 continues to upend life for billions around the world.
Not without criticism
Still, China's handling of the pandemic has not been without fierce criticism.
The timeline of early eventshas faced intense scrutiny, and raised questions about whether Beijing acted quickly enough to alert the World Health Organization to evidence of human transmission.
The first clusters of an unexplained illness were reported to the WHO's office in Beijing on Dec. 31. Detailed information about the "viral-pneumonia of unknown cause" was provided Jan. 3, according to the WHO, with 44 patients identified.
Reports also emerged that the ruling Chinese Communist Party suppressed information about the virus, with police disciplining a doctor, Li Wenliang, after he raised alarms in a chat group. Li later died of Covid-19, sparking a public outcry. The government posthumously hailed him a "martyr."
On Jan. 23, local authorities sealed off Wuhan, while other parts of China were also locked down. The drastic response seemingly worked, as the city unlocked months later in April.

Another casualty of the coronavirus has been the already fractious U.S.-China relations, with the pandemic accelerating their decline.
Trump has accused the WHO of acting as a "puppet of China" and failing to adequately warn the world about the virus, claims the global health body denies. In July, the U.S. officially notified the United Nations of its withdrawal from the WHO.
Trump has further fueled resentment, often through racist rhetoric, by referring to the pathogen as the "China virus" or the "Wuhan virus."
The White House has also cast aspersions, without providing proof, that the virus may have been manufactured or accidentally leaked from a Wuhan lab, claims China denies.
In January 2021, the WHO will lead a mission of 10 international Covid-19 investigators into China, with a visit to Wuhan scheduled, officials from the health body said. Among other issues, the fact-finding mission will probe into the origins of the virus.
However, with divisions over trade to technology, relations between the world's two biggest economies have plummeted since the outbreak. In September, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned Washington and Beijing to "do everything to avoid a new Cold War."
'Horror story'
Amid the worsening relations between the two superpowers, Christopher Suzanne, an American, said he "unequivocally" made the right choice to return to Wuhan during the pandemic, as several of his family members in the U.S. have since contracted the virus.
The 34-year-old teacher who has lived in Wuhan since 2009, returned to the city with his family in March after baptizing his infant son in upstate New York.
"Just the feeling of being in Wuhan, it's like it's such a success story in the middle of a horror story," he told NBC News.
"For the family, it was extremely difficult saying goodbye, not knowing when or how I'd be able to go home and see them again. But the decision in my heart was very easy," he said, eager to return to his wife's family in Wuhan.
Although the lockdown was tough on his mental health, Suzanne said he is now back at work and feels life is returning to normal.
But he acknowledged the virus had soured relations between Washington and Beijing.
Looking at the U.S. from a distance, Suzanne said his American compatriots seemed "so divided," that whoever was in the White House was irrelevant, if people couldn't agree on the basics of whether to wear a mask.
"I worry about my family," he said. "That takes a toll on me."

1996 UP & COMERS;JACINITA E. TITIALII DIRECTOR OF VENTURE DEVELOPMENT TENET HEALTHCARE CORP., SANTA BARBARA, CALIF.
When Jacinita E. Titialii's parents moved their family from American Samoa to the United States in 1958, a friend who was a lawyer provided pro bono services that helped them buy a house.
Titialii grew up believing lawyers were people who helped other people.
So after receiving two bachelor degrees from the University of Washington in 1982, Titialii (pronounced Tee-tee-a-lee-ee) went on to law school.
"I came home and told my parents that most people don't like lawyers," the 40-year-old Titialii says now, laughing at her naivete.
Nevertheless, Titialii pursued her career, intent on being the kind of lawyer who did good.
She has succeeded both professionally and personally. And much of that success stems from an inner drive to take risks by expanding beyond her world and her job.
"I was always impressed by her eagerness to learn," said Bruce Busby, former chief executive officer of Hillhaven Corp. who is now retired.
Titialii's first contact with healthcare law came at Hillhaven, a Tacoma, Wash.-based nursing home chain formerly owned by National Medical Enterprises and now merged with Vencor. NME was the predecessor company to Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Tenet Healthcare Corp., where Titialii is director of venture development.
After getting her law degree in 1985 from the University of Washington at Seattle, Titialii was hired by Bogle & Gates, a Seattle law firm.
Her experience there in real estate and securities law prompted Hillhaven to recruit her as senior counsel and assistant corporate secretary. In those posts she worked on securities filings, bond refinancings and the eventual spinoff from NME.
She gained a reputation for being assertive, sharp and ethical.
Albert Milstein, a Chicago attorney, sat across from her in a deal involving the sale of several nursing homes. He tells a story that shows how Titialii will go the distance to get a deal done. "She flew in from Seattle anticipating a one-day meeting," said Milstein, a partner with Winston and Strawn. "By the time she left it was five days."
Titialii is no longer satisfied to be the legal eagle on a deal. She wants to do the deal, a chance that Tenet gave her beginning in January. Tenet officials were aware of her talents because she had served as vice president and senior counsel at its dialysis subsidiary, Medical Ambulatory Care, in 1994 and 1995. While there, she worked on the spinoff of Medical Ambulatory into Total Renal Care.
Tenet wanted Titialii to rejoin the company, but she said she would only come if she was more than a lawyer. They consented, and now she helps drive the acquisitions that will guarantee growth of the 75-hospital chain.
"I said that I wanted to be on the business side," Titialii explained.
Based in Dallas, Titialii accepted the offer even though it pried her from her beloved hometown of Seattle, where she had ingrained herself over the years. A past chairwoman of the Seattle Arts Commission and director of the Seattle Symphony, the former art history major became involved because she wanted to "give something back to the community, which is how our parents raised us."
As hard-driving as Titialii is, she keeps her life in perspective. Last year, she left her career for six months to take care of her mother, who was dying of liver cancer.
Although some friends questioned her decision to quit, she told them simply that her job was a job, but "this is my mother."


In RIMPRO -CO-40, approximately 75% of the components of the mixture are hydrophobic. These comprise mainly fatty acid esters of glycerol polyethylene glycol and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol. The hydrophilic portion consists of polyethylene glycols and glycerol ethoxylates.
RIMPRO -CO-35 forms stable solutions in many organic solvents such as chloroform, ethanol and propan-2-ol; it also forms clear, stable, aqueous solutions.RIMPRO-CO-35 is miscible with other polyoxyethylene castor oil derivatives and on heating with fatty acids, fatty alcohols and some animal and vegetable oils. Solutions of RIMPRO -CO-40 in aqueous alcohols are also stable.
On heating an aqueous solution the solubility of RIMPRO -CO-35 is reduced and the solution becomes turbid. Aqueous solutions of polyoxyl castor oil heated for prolonged periods may separate into solid and liquid phases on cooling. However, the product can be restored to its original form by homogenization.
Aqueous solutions of RIMPRO -CO-35 are stable in the presence of low concentrations of electrolytes such as acids or salts, with the exception of mercuric chloride.
Aqueous solutions of RIMPRO -CO-35 can be sterilized by autoclaving for 20 minutes at 121 oC. In this process a product may acquire a deeper color although this has no significance for product stability. Aqueous solutions of polyoxyl castor oil can similarly be sterilized by autoclaving at 121 oC, but this may cause a slight decrease in the pH value.
Polyoxyethylene castor oil derivatives should be stored in a well-filled, airtight container, protected from light, in a cool, dry, place.
Acute and chronic toxicity tests in animals have shown polyoxyethylene castor oil derivatives to be essentially nontoxic and nonirritant materials. However, several serious anaphylactic reactions have been observed in humans and animals following parenteral, and more rarely, oral administration of formulations containing polyoxyethylene castor oil derivatives.
Observe normal precautions appropriate to the circumstances and quantity of material handled. Eye protection and gloves are recommended.
Polyoxyethylene castor oil derivatives are nonionic surfactants used in oral, topical and parenteral pharmaceutical formulations. They are also used in cosmetics animal feeds and Textile.
RIMPRO -CO-35 is mainly used as an emulsifying and solubilizing agent, and is particularly suitable for the production of aqueous liquid preparations containing volatile oils, fat-soluble vitamins and other hydrophobic substances.
RIMPRO -CO-35 has also been used as a solvent in proprietary injections of diazepam, propanidid and alfaxalone with alfadolone acetate. RIMPRO -CO-35 is also used in the production of glycerin suppositories.
In veterinary practice, RIMPRO -CO-35 can be used to emulsify cod liver oil, and oils and fats incorporated into animal feeding stuffs.
In cosmetics, RIMPRO -CO-35 is mainly used as a solubilizing agent for perfume bases and volatile oils in vehicles containing 30-50% v/v alcohol (ethanol or propan-2-ol). In hand lotions it can be used to replace castor oil.
RIMPRO -CO-40 may be used in preference to RIMPRO -CO-35 in oral formulations since it is almost tasteless. In aqueous alcoholic or completely aqueous solutions, RIMPRO -CO-40 can be used to solubilize vitamins, essential oils and certain drugs. Other materials which can be solubilized are; alfadolone; alfaxalone; hexacholrophane; hexetidine; methotrimeprazine; miconazole; propanidid; and thiopentone.
In aerosol vehicles which include water, the addition of RIMPRO -CO-40 improves the solubility of the propellant in the aqueous phase. This enhancement applies both to dichlorodifluoromethane and to propane/butane mixtures.
Foam formation in aqueous ethanol solutions containing RIMPRO -CO-40 can be suppressed by the addition of small amounts of polypropylene glycol 2000.
RIMPRO -CO-40 is also used as an emulsifier of fatty acids and alcohols.
