Pruitt's EPA Cedes Pesticide Oversight to Agriculture Department
Aug. 24, 2017 10:16AM EST Food

Internal U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) documents show that Administrator Scott Pruitt has effectively relinquished the EPA's oversight of pesticide safety to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), said Scott Faber, the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) senior vice president of government affairs.
More than 700 pages of emails and other records show that Pruitt and other EPA officials consulted closely with agribusiness interests and top officials at the USDA on the decision not to ban chlorpyrifos, a neurotoxic pesticide that has been shown to harm children's brains at even very low levels, according to The New York Times.
In response to the Times report, the EPA issued a statement Monday maintaining that Pruitt relied on the "USDA's scientific concerns with methodology used by the previous administration" to go against the agency's own scientists who had pushed for a full ban of the pesticide.
The emails, on page 301, show that top political appointees made edits to the chlorpyrifos petition as it awaited Pruitt's signature, in order to reverse the ban of the pesticide recommended by career EPA scientists.
The EPA's authority to restrict or ban the use of a pesticide falls under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Under the law, the EPA is not required to get approval from the USDA or any other agency before it takes action on a particular pesticide.
But in the case of chlorpyrifos, Pruitt and his top political appointees relied solely on comments by Sheryl Kunickis, director of the Office of Pest Management Policy at the USDA, to arrive at the decision not to ban the pesticide.
In a Jan. 5, 2016, memo to the EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs—not part of the Times' FOIA request, but unearthed by EWG—Kunickis objected that the EPA scientists included groundbreaking epidemiological data from Columbia University researchers and other institutions, which found chlorpyrifos pollutes the bodies of children and harms their health, in their risk assessment.
Kunickis also pushed the EPA to forgo the tenfold children's safety factor that the nation's top children's health experts, and the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act, say are necessary to safeguard children's health from pesticides.
In two separate appearances before House and Senate appropriations committees, Pruitt testified that he had relied on Kunickis' comments in his March 29 decision to abort the ban of chlorpyrifos.
During his June 27 testimony before the Senate panel—at 1:48 in the committee's archived video—in response to questioning from Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., Pruitt said the "petition to ban [chlorpyrifos] that was denied and it was based on the USDA communication to the EPA that the scientific basis that was being used by the agency was very questionable. That was actually an interagency communication between the USDA and the EPA."
"Administrator Pruitt now freely admits he's outsourced pesticide safety decisions to an agency that too often puts the concerns of farmers ahead of our public health," said Faber, of EWG. "As the emails obtained by the Times show, a who's who of chemical agribusiness executives, along with USDA officials, came to the EPA the day after the decision to deliver a collective bear hug for Pruitt over his action on chlorpyrifos."
A revised agenda, on pages 97 to 98, for a meeting of the Agriculture CEO Council with Pruitt was sent to the administrator's scheduler on March 30. The first item for discussion was "Thanks to Trump Administration and Administrator Pruitt for early decisive actions" on the chlorpyrifos petition and the Waters of the United States, or WOTUS, rule. In June the EPA issued a notice of withdrawal from the Obama-era WOTUS rule that defines which waters can be protected from pollution by federal law.
Among those listed as attending the March meeting with Pruitt were Jay Vroom, president and CEO of CropLife America, the main lobbying group for the pesticide industry; Chris Jahn, President of the Fertilizer Institute, Chris Novak, CEO of the National Corn Growers Association; and Tom Stenzel, president and CEO of the United Fresh Produce Association.
On the day after the meeting, Kunickis wrote to EPA officials: "Thank you! It is a great week for our growers and the decision is much appreciated."
"There is not a dime's-width of daylight between Pruitt, the USDA and the pesticide industry when it comes to use of this brain-damaging pesticide," Faber added. "The levers of oversight for the pesticide industry are now clearly and firmly in the hands of the lobbyists and their government lackeys."

LG Display beats Samsung handily for Apple display orders
Christian Zibreg on October 25, 2012
According to a new supply chain report, LG Display beat its arch-rival Samsung for display panel orders and has now become the primary supplier of screens that Apple uses to build virtually all of its recently refreshed products.
Specifically, LG Display is said to provide panels for the new iPad mini, fourth-generation iPad with Retina display, 13-inch MacBook Pro and both 21.5 and 27-inch revamped iMac models. This is of particular interest to would-be shoppers eyeing the iPad mini because "frustrated suppliers", per one analyst, previously had issues meeting Apple's exacting standards…
According to DigiTimes, a hit-and-miss Asian trade publication, Au Optronics continues to supply panels for the iPad mini. Bloomberg last month reported that LG Display and AU Optronics, which also supplies panels for MacBooks, would act as primary panel suppliers for the iPad mini.
It's also interesting that LG Display was unable to meet Apple's production criteria for the third-generation iPad's Retina display, forcing Apple to buy most of high-resolution panels from Samsung.
CNET yesterday quoted NPD DisplaySearch analyst Richard Shim who expressed concern over initial iPad mini availability due to Apple's rocky relationship with Samsung, its key supplier, and the fact that the South Korean conglomerate "is not supplying displays for the iPad mini".
Up until recently, Samsung used to be a traditional Apple display vendor.
With new products, Apple is looking to cut orders and move away from Samsung amid an ongoing legal spat which has spanned at least ten countries and turned partners into bitter enemies.
Here's Apple's 'Colors' commercial for the new Retina notebook.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfiJOP2uGk4
Industry sources previously asserted that AU Optronics had "minor problems" in meeting Apple's requirement for the iPad mini panels. Part of the problem was that AU Optronics is using AHVA technology whilst iPad mini panels utilize in-plane switching, a premium display technology allowing for wide viewing angles.
Because of that, AU Optronics continues to see issues in production and is being allocated a much lesser proportion of shipments for the iPad mini. AHVA is an acronym for LG Display's proprietary Advanced Hyper-Viewing Angle display technology.
Even with Samsung out of the picture, Apple is making the right moves. LG Display, which has its headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, files as the world's largest LCD panel maker. Together, Samsung Electronics and LG Display exceed half the global LCD panel market.
According to another DigiTimes report, other factors limiting iPad mini availability in Q4:
Apple's iPad mini features new solutions such as DITO film and metal chassis, which will have low yield rates initially and impact the device's supply in the fourth quarter.
But as the cost will gradually drop along with the improvement in yield, gross margin may increase. Digitimes Research estimates that total iPad shipments will reach 65 million units in 2012 and rise to 75 million or even 80-85 million units in 2013.
As Cody told you, the iPad mini starts at $329 and lands on store shelves in 34 countries around the world on November 2: The United States, The United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
The iPad mini with Wi-Fi + Cellular is a $130 extra versus WiFi-only models. It will start shipping a couple of weeks after the WiFi models, beginning in the U.S. on AT&T, Sprint and Verizon.
The Cupertino, California company will tomorrow start accepting pre-orders via its online stores in the United States, The United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

Adventure and Fun / Important Lakes in Nepal / Tour and Holidays
Nepal is a country you really have to come and visit -Prince Harry
by globalho · March 25, 2016
Extends visit by six more days
KATHMANDU, March 23: Extending his five-day Nepal visit by six more days, Prince Harry of the United Kingdom has called upon people from across the world to visit Nepal and enjoy its natural and cultural beauty to the fullest.
"I hope that everyone back home who took an interest in the tour can see that Nepal is a country that you really have to come and visit," Prince Harry said in a speech he gave at the British embassy in Kathmandu upon the conclusion of his five-day official visit. "You have to come and see world heritage sites like Patan Durbar Square and be inspired by Nepal's history."
He urged one and all to come to see beautiful wildernesses like Bardia National Park and said that the work there is an example to the rest of the world how the conservation battle can be won through the cooperation of communities, park staff and the military. He described it as truly a success story.
"You have to come and walk in the foothills of the Himalayas – watching the sunrise over those majestic mountains is something I will never forget," he shared his fresh experience. "But most of all you have to come to meet the people of Nepal. I have rarely in my life felt as welcomed as I have over the last few days."
Prince Harry said this after visiting Bardiya National Park in mid-western Nepal and the Gurkha and other communities in Lamjung, Gorkha and Kaski districts. He saw first hand the destruction in the families and communities of Gurkha soliders caused by last year's earthquakes.
He also mingled with the revelers celebrating Holi, the festival of colors, in the villages of Lamjung. "This tika [vermillion powder] is here to stay!" he said.
During his five-day activities, he interacted with earthquake victims at their makeshift shelters, toured historic palaces and temples and stayed as a guest at the home of Mangali Gurung, an 86-year-old Gurkha widow living in a remote village in Lamjung.
Extends visit by six days
To the surprise of many, the prince in his speech at the embassy reception on Wednesday evening upon the conclusion of his official visit, disclosed that he is extending his visit by six more days.
"The people I have met and the beauty of this country make it very hard to leave. Thankfully however, I'm not leaving just yet! I will be spending the next six days in a remote village with a charity called Team Rubicon," he announced at the end of his speech. "The team I'm joining will be working with a community to rebuild a school damaged in the earthquake. I'm so grateful to have this opportunity at the end of my official tour to do my small bit to help this beautiful country." However, it is not disclosed where he will be spending the additional six days.
On Tuesday, Harry visited the site of a school in Gauda that was destroyed and is now being rebuilt. He described the community as one of the most vibrant and joyous he ever had the privilege to meet and said there was no sense of defeatism. "I saw a lesson in a makeshift classroom and even played a game of volleyball against the backdrop of the Himalayas before being covered in red paint to mark Holi – clearly not your standard day!" he said.
Meanwhile, Kensington Palace has informed that for the next week, Prince Harry will be embedded with a group of Team Rubicon volunteers in a remote village to help with the reconstruction of a new school destroyed by the earthquake last year.
"The team will trek into the mountains to an earthquake-affected area in Central Nepal, with their own equipment to assist the local community in all aspects of repairing and rebuilding their school," it said.
It said that since the earthquake struck, students have been taking their classes in makeshift classrooms made of poles, tarpaulins and tin and that these temporary facilities will provide little defence against the difficult weather conditions in the rainy season to come -

Spike Lee Going to Knicks Game Night of Oscars, "Never Used the Word 'Boycott'"
6:11 AM PST 1/20/2016 by Hilary Lewis
"I'm not going. My wife's not going. Everyone else can do what they want to do."
Spike Lee stopped by Good Morning America on Wednesday, where the filmmaker, who announced Monday that he wouldn't attend the Academy Awards due to this year's lack of nonwhite acting nominees, revealed more about his views on the Oscars and diversity issues in Hollywood.
Lee told George Stephanopoulos that he would be going to the New York Knicks game in Madison Square Garden on the night of the awards.
And he insisted that he's not necessarily calling for others to boycott the show.
"Here's the thing. I have never used the word 'boycott,'" Lee said on GMA. "All I said was my beautiful wife Tanya, we're not coming. That's it, and I gave the reasons. I never used the word 'boycott.'"
"It's like, do you," he added. "I'm not going. My wife's not going. Everyone else can do what they want to do."
In a second appearance on the ABC morning show, to discuss the Michael Jackson Off the Wall documentary he co-produced, Lee told Michael Strahan of an Oscars boycott, "I'm not trying to lead a movement."
Speaking with Stephanopoulos earlier, Lee declined to say whether he thought host Chris Rock should drop out as some have called for him to do.
"Chris Rock is a grown-ass man. He can do what he wants to do, and I support either way," said the filmmaker.
As for Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs' recent call for changes in the organization's membership, Lee indicated he's still waiting for actual reforms.
"When I received my honorary Oscar at the Governors [Awards] in November, she began that night saying this is her plan," said Lee. "So we can't say, 'Hocus pocus, presto change-o,' and the membership's going to change overnight."
He also reiterated what he said in his Instagram post when he announced he wouldn't be going to the Oscars, that the diversity issue in Hollywood goes back to the studio executives and their decisions about which films to greenlight.
"This whole Academy thing is a misdirection play. We're chasing a guy down the field, he doesn't even have the ball. The other guy's high-stepping in the end zone," said Lee. "It goes further than the Academy Awards. It has to go back to the gatekeepers. We're not in the room. The executives, when they have these greenlight meetings quarterly, they look at the scripts and see who's in it and decide what we're making and what we're not making."
When asked how he would fix that, the filmmaker invoked the NFL's Rooney rule, which requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate for open head-coaching positions.
"We need a Rooney rule, some type of rule," said Lee. "In the NFL, if a head-coaching job opens up or a senior executive position, you cannot hire anyone until you interview minority candidates. And that has increased the number of minority coaches and executives in the NFL, and that should be used."
But he didn't specify how that would play out in Hollywood, except to agree with Stephanopoulos' prompt that we "need to widen the pool."
Said Lee: "We can't go to that old, tired well of, 'We can't find any qualified candidates.' That's BS."

Susan B. Anthony Home honors woman born 200 years ago today, fought for right to vote
Story and photos Jackie Sheckler Finch
JackieSFinch@gmail.com
As a child, I would jump rope to the rhyme but I didn't know what it meant:
"In came the doctor. In came the nurse. In came the lady with the alligator purse," we would chant. "Out went the doctor. Out went the nurse. Out went the lady with the alligator purse."
It took a trip to the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House in Rochester, New York, to solve the mystery of that famous "lady with the alligator purse," who was born two centuries ago today.
"To Susan B. Anthony, the purse was a symbol of a woman's financial independence and a woman's right to ownership," says museum guide Jeanne LaBarbera. "It wasn't a fashion statement on her part. It was a symbol of power for women."
Pointing to Susan's large alligator purse on display at the museum, Jeanne said that, in Susan's day, women didn't need purses because most women didn't own anything. Whatever valuable assets were in a marriage usually belonged to the man, as did the children.
A wife could not sign a contract, open a bank account, seek custody of her children or make a will. Women were often barred from higher education and excluded from almost all professions except teaching.
Susan used her alligator bag more like a briefcase for her speeches and important documents. "Susan B. Anthony was recognized by her two trademarks — her red shawl and her alligator purse," Jeanne says.
Touring the museum, 16-year-old Melinda Thompson of Buffalo says, "It seems hard to believe that there was a time in America when women couldn't vote. And now we have women running for the highest office in the nation. I wonder what Susan B. Anthony would think of that? We owe a lot to her. She dedicated her life to equality."
Indeed, she did. And, somehow, she seemed destined for that role.
Birth of a Suffragette
Born into a Quaker household in Adams, Massachusetts, on Feb. 15, 1820, Susan Brownell Anthony was a precocious child who learned to read and write at the age of 3. Her father Daniel owned a local cotton mill and was known for his outspoken views and strong commitment to equality and justice.
Susan attended a one-room schoolhouse and was dismayed when her male schoolmaster refused to teach her long division. Girls didn't need to know such complicated math, he claimed.
Indignant, her father took the girl out of school and started a home school for his children and neighborhood youngsters. Susan was later sent to a boarding school near Philadelphia to continue her higher education.
When the 1837 Depression caused her father to go bankrupt and lose his business and family home, the Anthonys moved to Rochester. Susan became a teacher when still a teen to help with family finances. Her weekly salary was $1, just a quarter of what men were paid for the same job. She began campaigning for equal pay and equal rights.
After her father died, the family moved to a simple brick house on Madison Street. Susan, her mother, Lucy, and sister Mary lived in this house from 1865 until their deaths.
"The house was a hubbub of action during the 1800s," Jeanne says.
Susan was friends with many important people of the time and her home was always open to them. It was in the Madison Street house that the suffrage movement came to life. It was here that a civil rights newspaper, The Revolution, was written by Susan and fellow activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Photographs, old-fashioned typewriters and documents scattered throughout the home recall those times. Most of the photos I had seen of Susan always showed her in a side view. I thought it just might be a fad of the time but our guide said otherwise.
"Susan B. Anthony had a lazy eye so she preferred to be photographed in profile because she didn't want people to see it."
One of Susan's signature black dresses still hangs in her bedroom. "She was always well dressed. Even when she was arrested, she had them wait while she came upstairs and changed clothes because she always wanted to be seen well dressed."
Arrested? Yep, Susan was arrested for voting.
Susan B. Anthony arrested for illegal voting
On Nov. 5, 1872, Susan set out for a nearby barbershop determined to vote whether it was legal or not. Despite disapproving sneers, Susan demanded to register and to vote. She voted for Ulysses S. Grant — the first and only presidential vote of her life. Nine days later, a federal marshal came to her home to arrest Susan for illegal voting.
At her trial, the judge commanded the all-men jury that they need not deliberate and that "you will find her guilty." The judge also told Susan that she would not be allowed to take the stand or speak on her behalf.
"But the judge must have forgotten because he turned to her and asked, 'Does the defendant have anything to say?'" Jeanne says.
Susan B. Anthony was ready.
She eloquently spoke her piece which went on the written record. The judge ordered her to pay a $100 fine.
"She said she wouldn't pay it and she never did," Jeanne says.
In 1878, she wrote the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which would later become the 19th amendment, giving women the right to vote. Regrettably, Susan B. Anthony did not live to see that happen.
"She caught a cold and it turned into pneumonia. On March 13, 1906, she passed away in this house. She was 86 years old," Jeanne says.
"Susan B. Anthony's battle cry was 'Failure is impossible.' She knew it was coming but she would not be there to see it. "
On Aug. 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified giving women the right to vote.
"Susan B. Anthony devoted her life to this cause," Jeanne concludes. "No one should ever take it lightly that we have the right to vote."

Seven Questions After Watching Season 1 of Daredevil
[Note: All articles on The Reel World contain major spoilers for its main topic.]
Daredevil was the first show to debut in the promising Marvel/Netflix partnership that already has plans for four more shows. Season 1 of Daredevil has been a critical success, and it has opened up limitless possibilities/expectations for the Marvel Television Universe. Overall, I came to adore the show, and it is probably a lock for my Top Ten of 2015 list. As with any good piece of art, I left it with many questions and thoughts about what it could have done and where it will be going. Here are seven of those questions.
1: Why does Marvel still have a black men problem?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has yet to have a portrayal of a black man that inspires much confidence in me. The most prominent roles have been a spy on the margins of the stories designed to create situations to showcase white men on screen, a sidekick whose sole motivation so far is to follow the lead of our white savior, a sidekick that is more competent at his job but on the sidelines of the story for some reason*, and an intergalactic doorman who is put in a storyline position where he has to perpetually fail at his job in order for the plot to move forward.
*Not a tragic white man.
To a certain extent, Daredevil is a major step forward for the MCU in this regard. Ben Urich (played beautifully by Vondie Curtis-Hall) is a fully-realized character with his own backstory, hurdles, agency, etc. Then, in the penultimate episode of the series, Urich is killed by Wilson Fisk in a moment clearly designed** to be the major emotional blow of the entire season. However, the context of this death undermines it a great deal to me and actually caused it to lose much of the emotional weight that I would have previously expected a Ben Urich death to cause.
**The penultimate episode serving as the episode where a season's biggest death is now so common that it has become cliche.
Why did Wilson Fisk murder Ben Urich? For "going after my mother." Why does Fisk think that to be the case? One of our protagonists (Karen Page) lured Ben to Fisk's mother's nursing home under false pretenses, and Urich ended up taking the fall for it. From an emotional perspective, this death served as a rallying moment for Karen, Matt Murdock, and Foggy Nelson to move forward from their issues in order to focus on taking Fisk down. Ben's sickly widow, at Ben's funeral no less, is even put a position when she has to comfort Karen! The great Ben Urich character is reduced in death to a device to service the main white characters, ie: the real heroes of the Daredevil story.
This modern take on the "Uncle Tom" stereotype is still so pervasive in cinema and television. Shedding light on its use here is not about accusing this show of being racist or anything like that. I'm not offended by the fate of Ben Urich or how his death was exploited. It just needs to be pointed out because it's lazy and unneeded.
2: Why does Marvel still have a women problem?
There are three female roles that got "Main Cast" treatment for Daredevil. One character was a secretary who was saved in the season premiere by our two white knight lawyers (and then became their secretary because she had nowhere else to go), a nurse who primarily exists to provide immediate medical care to our superhero whenever he needs it, and an art dealer who becomes the primary romantic interest for a character teetering on the edge of villainy. The latter, of course, is positioned so that her involvement with said character (Wilson Fisk) is blamed for him becoming a more reckless criminal (which of courses leads to much wanton death and destruction). Marvel, you can do better.
(The first two questions should really be combined into a single question: "Why does Marvel have major issues portraying people that are not white men?")
3: What is the future of combat on Daredevil?
One of the aspects of this show that immediately makes it stand out from anything else that I have seen in Marvel shows, Marvel films, or mainstream film/television in general is the combat scenes. Unlike most Marvel properties on the (big and small) screen, you see the effects of the violence in Daredevil. You see the blood spattering, the bones breaking, and the lights go out in (some of) the victims' eyes as they draw their final breaths (and these characters seem to actually stay dead). Does the violence border on excessive? Absolutely. Nonetheless, I applaud the show for not conforming to the standard of casually employing violence for the sake of entertainment and giving it no weight.
With that all said, I'm curious about how the combat in the series of evolves. There are definitely moments, as the season progressed, where the fights remind me of the zombie attacks in The Walking Dead (existing because the audience expects it to exist). It seems like the show rarely passes on an opportunity to show off its ability to choreograph a brutal combat scene*.
*I legitimately laughed out loud when the costume maker went toe-to-toe with Daredevil. Completely necessary!
I hope the show strives to spread out such scenes in the future. Every episode doesn't need one and every character shouldn't be capable of fighting the same way (it makes it inherently less special).
4: Does Matt Murdock's blindness negatively impact him in any way?
While the 2003 Daredevil film was flawed in many, many ways, you cannot say they did not put in time to make sure the audience knew Matt Murdock was blind and this affected his day-to-day life. Yes, his blindness is also his source of his extraordinary powers, but it limits him in other small ways that help to frame the character in a sympathetic manner. Does the show do that at all?
This is not a rhetorical question! I cannot think of any moment where Matt Murdock's life as an adult was negatively affected by not being able to see. Please send me any such moments from season 1 so I can look like a fool.
5: What is Hell's Kitchen and why should I care?
I am going to commit a writing foul (in the site's first article no less) and do something that bugs me in other articles: I need to make a lazy comparison for the sake of convenience.
What is Hell's Kitchen? Why is it important? Does it have its own mayor? Does it have its own police force? These are just some of the questions that would come to my mind if I did not live fifteen minutes from New York City. One of the biggest issues I had with the show is that they just expected the audience to care about the idea of Hell's Kitchen and the competing methods of Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk for how to save it. I'm not really sure what needed to be saved to be perfectly honest. Murdock seemed primarily concerned with the criminal element led by Wilson Fisk. However, if Fisk's arc is to have any credibility whatsoever, there has to be something wrong about Hell's Kitchen in order any of his actions, long before Murdock's vigilante days, to make sense. The whole premise of his character is that his criminal actions initially come from a desire to save the "city."
If you think that paragraph was clumsy, consider it a meta comment on the portrayal of Hell's Kitchen.
The whole idea of Matt Murdock training in the martial arts to save his city is obviously very derivative (a complaint that is, itself, derivative) of the Bruce Wayne story. As a point of comparison, Batman Begins spends almost the entire film establishing the institutional problems with Gotham City that make it impossible for the unprivileged to succeed and for the corrupt to stay in power. While they simultaneously establish that Bruce Wayne's desire to save the city is as much ego-driven as a desire to be noble, there was not a single point in that film where I questioned why Gotham City was in trouble, what were some of its biggest problems, and why anyone would go to such insane lengths to save it. To me, that was all missing in Daredevil. It *felt* like the show was just trading on the idea of saving a city and expected us all to go along for the ride (which I did) instead of actually putting in the work to make us care about Hell's Kitchen.
6: Is this the best Marvel television show at the moment?
After a few episodes of Daredevil, I still had Agent Carter comfortably in the lead of "Favorite Marvel TV Show." Daredevil won out in the end though. The show's ability to organically create a dynamic ensemble that it can go to at any moment for the pathos necessary to punch you in the stomach is probably the show's biggest accomplishment. In one moment, a Russian gangster is just a forgettable background character predictably served up for Wilson Fisk to rid himself of on his journey to the top, and then in the next moment, you want nothing more than for him to team up with the series' lead to avenge his brother. That's the kind of show I can get behind.
7: What's next?
I genuinely did not leave this show craving more Daredevil as it's currently constructed (or what remains of the foundation it seemed to be building). The most interesting aspect of the Wilson Fisk character to me was his relationship with Wesley (there was a chemistry and love there that the show wishes he had with Vanessa). While I find the dynamic between Matt, Nelson, and Karen to be equal parts charming and endearing, it seemed that the show blew their wad on how far they could push the relationships without splitting them up for good.
Season 1 obviously proved that there are some very creative people running this ship, and I'm sure they are more than capable of producing future seasons of Daredevil that entertain me. My hope is that they will continue to take chances and do things in season 2 that no one else is doing in the mainstream. Part of what made season 1 so gripping is that it did not feel like more of the same. Season 2 needs to feel the same way, or I fear that the show will quickly grow repetitive.
Final Season Grade: 8/10.

Our Call to Action campaign highlights the role we can all play in developing a culture where breastfeeding is supported and normalised. A key part of this is to create a welcoming environment for women to breastfeed out and about. In this guest blog, breastfeeding counsellor Emma Pickett, who also wrote a blog about the dangerous obsession with the infant feeding interval, addresses women's worries about public breastfeeding and suggests how to overcome them.
It reveals just how much the subject of breastfeeding outside the home nibbles at the minds of many new mums.
Mothers and babies are not allowed to be discriminated against on the grounds of breastfeeding. Their access to businesses and services is not allowed to be restricted. You are not allowed to ask them to move on or to stop. It's not complicated. It really isn't. The Equality Act 2010 protects mums in England and Wales. In Scotland, it is a criminal act to stop anyone breastfeeding up until the age of two.
Are feelings based on reality? A Start4Life poll showed that 72% of the UK population "support" breastfeeding in public. Yet a third of mums still feel uncomfortable.
The media loves a story of a breastfeeding mum being harassed. And there's no doubt that there are some poorly educated employees and members of the public sailing beyond the law and embarrassing themselves regularly. But these stories make headlines precisely because they are rare and juicy. If 72% support breastfeeding in public, a heck of a lot more really aren't that bothered. And I'll bet in the tiny group that are bothered, most will mumble an internal dialogue that the mother doesn't pick up on.
In my years of breastfeeding, I have fed all around the world – on planes, trains, mountain-sides, cafes, doorsteps, bus stops – and not once have I ever received a negative comment or glance or been asked to stop. The response has either been warm and supportive or indifferent. I have spoken to many experienced breastfeeding mums and breastfeeding counsellors and none of them have ever received a negative comment.
What might help breastfeeding mums who feel intimidated?
Acknowledge what the scary bit is for you. What is the thing that you are really, really worried about? The thing that worries you won't necessarily be the thing that worries your friend.
Are you worried about people seeing your breasts? People seeing your new baby tummy? People seeing milk dripping or spraying? People seeing you in pain? Not having your stuff with you? Are you worried about people saying something negative? Depending on what your worry is, you might address the problem differently. What is the absolute worst thing that would happen in your worst nightmare? Imagine it. How is it likely to go?
For one person, it might be the middle-aged bloke yelling across the room that it's disgusting that you are breastfeeding outside the home and he doesn't want to see that. He's joined by everyone else, rising out of their chairs and moving towards you with threatening expressions on their faces.
Is that what happened in that internet story someone posted on your birth group? I bet actually someone came to the mum's defence: the person on the train who protected her or the employees in the bowling alley who formed a line and threw the bloke out (and several of these videos are set up by actors to test public reaction and get a nice bit of internet clickbait by the way).
The new mum would have felt scared but she probably also felt protected by those around her and angry on behalf of her baby.
If it's more likely that you are worried about looks, don't look around the room. Why should you? I remember when my own son was less than six months old and I was feeding him in a café in an unfamiliar town, I scanned the room before I started. I clocked a man across the room chatting to a friend and when I was feeding, I looked over again. Why did I do that? What on earth was I doing? Almost certainly giving off a nervous vibe which is the sort of vibe an unkind person might sometimes thrive on. As it happened, the café customer I had first clocked called across, "You're alright love. Good on ya." OK, that was pretty embarrassing too as it happens but I expect he had felt obliged because he sensed I was nervous.
I once spoke to a mum who took off her glasses when she fed to stop her being tempted to look around. It's probably not going to help the breastfeeding if you're nervous so just give your focus to your baby for that moment. They will latch on more easily and oxytocin is more likely to be produced.
Is the scary thing actually about being outside of the house with a new baby? I think for many people the nightmare is not the weird shouting person but it's that you will have a crying, screaming loud baby and you won't be able to sort it out. They might get themselves in such a frazzle that they can't even latch on. And then what would you do?
At home, you try some skin-to-skin or walk around for a bit and try another room. You are not disturbing anyone else unless you have thin walls and neighbours who are home. But in a café there are people everywhere and they're also very close. People who want to relax and talk to others. People who have their own stresses. And you are making so much noise.
The solution to this is time. After a few more weeks and months, it feels easier. Babies still cry but you feel better about not being able to retain control. Choose places to go where you know you could escape if you really needed to. Go with people who offer you emotional support. Who you have with you when you breastfeed outside the home in the early days is really important. Go to a café with your partner or your mum to practise. Meet other mums in a welcoming library space and tell them if you are worried. It's important to have people with whom you don't have to pretend you are sailing through this parenting experience and who you can ask for help. See if you can find some friends that don't always meet outside the home.
It's not just who you are with, the way you breastfeed helps too.
Babies change shape really quickly – all over their bodies. They get heavier and their heads move differently for starters. But we change shape too. I've supported mums who find breastfeeding is getting trickier after a couple of weeks and it turns out that they were previously resting baby on their arms and their arms on their baby belly. When their belly started to go, their arms were doing more work and they started to get more tired.
If you find yourself loving your cushion at home, the idea of breastfeeding without it seems terrifying. Well, if you want to put it in a plastic bag under the pram and take it out with you, who cares? Do it!
But you may find that this other chair is a different height anyway? Perhaps it doesn't work quite the same with your cushion? You may want to rethink. You could improvise with a rolled up jacket or even your change bag but I would try and develop a position where the baby's weight is supported by your torso and not a cushion nor just your arms.
Have a look at Nancy Mohrbacher's resources on Natural Breastfeeding. If you lean back a bit, a baby can be supported securely against your body and cushions and all the rest of it doesn't matter. You don't even need to do it in a sofa (though coffee shops are good at those). You can slouch in quite an upright chair by scooting your bottom forward and putting your leg out in front of you to support you.
For a breastfeeding baby, breastfeeding isn't just about the milk. When you are out in the big wide world and you are very small and everything else seems very loud and big, being attached to mummy also brings calm and contentment.
And all of this is about your baby. They can't stand up for themselves. They can't write a rude comment on that article when someone makes a stupid comment about public breastfeeding. They can't shout at the television when a daft celebrity makes a lazy statement. What would they say to you? What would they say when you were feeling nervous?
You can add your voice to Unicef UK's Call to Action campaign, calling on UK governments to take urgent action to protect, promote and support breastfeeding.


The Chinese statesman, general, and scholar Tseng Kuo-fan (1811-1872) was responsible for the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion and is regarded as a model Confucian official.
Between 1850 and 1864 China was racked by the Taiping Rebellion, which threatened to topple the Ch'ing dynasty and to destroy Chinese traditional culture. Because the regular armies of the Ch'ing proved to be totally incapable of stopping the rebels, the burden of resistance fell upon local militia groups. Tseng Kuo-fan was responsible for organizing the militia of Hunan into the first of the provincial armies which would eventually crush the Taiping forces. Because of his upright and moral character, he became a rallying point for the able officials, scholars, and soldiers who rose to support the dynasty and preserve their Confucian heritage.
Tseng Kuo-fan was born on Nov. 26, 1811, in Hsianghsiang, Hunan, to a poor peasant family. In 1832, Tseng Kuo-fan passed the first of the official examinations a year after his father had done so, and in 1838 obtained a chin-shih (the highest academic degree) and became a member of the Hanlin Academy. Routine promotions advanced his career until 1849, when he was made a junior vice president of the Board of Ceremonies. He also served as an acting vice president on several other boards. In 1852 he was ordered to Kiangsi to conduct the provincial examination, but on the way southward he learned of his mother's death and he was granted leave to return home to observe the customary 3 years of mourning.
The Taiping rebels in their northward sweep in 1852 had layed siege to Changsha, the capital of Hunan, but had been forced to withdraw due to the efforts of the local militia. In a sea of defeats, this was one of the few imperial successes, and the Emperor in January 1853 ordered Tseng to recruit and drill the Hunan militia. Because he was in mourning, Tseng felt that he could not accept, but after much persuasion from the Emperor and friends, he finally agreed and swore to himself that he would not "covet wealth nor fear death."
In keeping with his already established habits of thorough planning, Tseng carefully worked out the training of his troops, their discipline, and their organization. The army he created came to be known as the Hsiang Army and was founded on the Chinese custom of personal loyalties. Tseng had seen the soldiers of the regular armies of the Ch'ing refuse to fight for their commanders because they were strangers. Tseng insisted that each unit commander personally recruit his own soldiers and, preferably, that the commander and the troops come from the same local region. Tseng was using local affinities to give cohesion to his army. If for any reason a commander was removed, then his unit was to be disbanded, and the new commander would recruit a new unit. From this practice the saying arose that "the army belongs to the general"—and not the state. Tseng inadvertently set a pattern of personal armies that would lead to the growth of warlordism in the 20th century.
Tseng also believed in adequate military training before his troops were committed to battle. There had been too many instances where the imperial troops had fled before the approaching Taiping forces. Despite repeated entreaties from officials in beleaguered areas and even from the Emperor himself to commit the army, Tseng refused until he felt the men were ready.
Tseng's forces were not an immediate success, however. In two battles in 1854, his forces were defeated, and Tseng was so discouraged that he attempted suicide. However, a victory soon encouraged him, and his forces were finally able to stop the Taiping drive in Hunan. Tseng's efforts were also aided in 1856 by the elimination of most of the capable Taiping leaders through a bloodbath in Nanking. Despite repeated calls for aid from other areas, Tseng concentrated his forces on the job of recapturing the Taiping capital at Nanking. This meant that his army had to fight its way down the Yangtze River in the face of stiff opposition.
Tseng's entire operation was also constantly hampered by a shortage of funds and a lack of recognized authority. When his Hsiang Army was first organized, it was to be financed by the imperial treasury, but the imperial revenues fell short, and Tseng was forced to rely on the contributions of the local gentry who, as it turned out, were rather lukewarm to his entreaties. Tseng's official rank was not within the regular provincial bureaucracy and, as a result, he was unable to command provincial revenues. It was only through the aid of staunch friends, who held high provincial rank, as well as his own persistent pleas that Tseng was able to keep his army going. His troops were well aware of the situation, which further strengthened their loyalty to Tseng and their unit commanders. After 1860, when Tseng was appointed governor general of Kiangnan (the highest provincial civil rank) and imperial commissioner (the Emperor's own representative), he was finally in a position to ensure adequate funds for his army.
The repeated entreaties for military help from various areas within Tseng's jurisdiction, which, if complied with, would have diluted his main effort, forced Tseng in 1860-1861 to create three military areas: one in Kiangsu under Li Hung-chang, a second in Chekiang under Tso Tsung-t'ang, and a third in Anhwei under his own command.
Li Hung-chang returned to his home in the Huai region of Anhwei to recruit a new army on the same principles of personal loyalty that Tseng had used. Li's Huai Army was stationed at Shanghai in 1862 and during the next 2 years cleared most of Kiangsu of the Taiping rebels. Tso Tsungt'ang did the same in Chekiang, while Tseng's army under the immediate command of his younger brother, Tseng Kuoch'üan, laid siege to Nanking. Tseng's tactics resulted in the fall of the Taiping capital on July 19, 1864.
With the rebellion over, Tseng's immediate task as the governor general of Kiangnan was to restore peace and order to the war-ravaged area and to promote the revival of learning in South China. During the war years he had gained the respect and admiration of many of the leading scholars and officials of the empire. His high moral character, his devotion not only to the imperial cause but also to the ideals of Confucianism, his own sound scholarship, and his military successes drew these men to his side. In his efforts to revive scholarship he established five official printing offices for reprinting the classics and the histories and restored the official examinations at Nanking.
During the postrebellion years Tseng also became interested in ways to strengthen China in the face of Western encroachments. He and Li Hung-chang established an arsenal at Shanghai in 1865; in 1868 the arsenal sponsored the building of the first Chinese steamship. In August 1871 he and Li jointly established a program to send Chinese boys to the United States to study, but he died shortly before the students set sail in 1872.
Tseng Kuo-fan had disbanded his Hsiang Army at the conclusion of the Taiping Rebellion because his troops were war-weary and because his power, based on this army, might be considered a threat to the dynasty. In June 1865, when Tseng was ordered to take command of the fighting against the Nien rebels in the North, he felt he could rely on Li Hung-chang's Huai Army. Tseng realized that this was contrary to all his teachings about personal recruitment but felt that since Li was his longtime pupil and friend it might work. After a year of unsuccessful campaigning he recommended Li as his successor and returned to his former post as the governor general of Kiangnan. Li brought the Nien Rebellion to a successful conclusion in 1868.
When the people of Tientsin attacked the French missionaries in 1870, in what has been called the Tientsin Massacre, Tseng, as the governor general of Chihli since 1868, was called upon to investigate the case. Aware of China's military weakness, Tseng pressed for a policy of justice and conciliation. As a result, he incurred the wrath of the masses and the war party. The case was nearly settled, however, when, old and ill, Tseng was transferred back to his former post in Nanking. Li Hung-chang, who had been ordered to bring his army to Tientsin to support Tseng, succeeded his master in Chihli. Two years later, on March 12, 1872, Tseng died in Nanking.
The standard work in English on Tseng is William James Hail, Tseng Kuo-fan and the Taiping Rebellion (1927). Gideon Chen, Tseng Kuo-fan: Pioneer Promoter of the Steamship in China (1935), deals with Tseng's efforts at "Self-strengthening"; and Kenneth E. Folsom, Friends, Guests, and Colleagues (1968), discusses the creation of Tseng's army, his personal advisers, and his relationship with Li Hung-chang. A complete biography of Tseng can be found in Arthur W. Hummel, ed., Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period (2 vols., 1943).

The M3 E46 was available in Need for Speed: World during the closed beta fitted with a custom bodykit and spoiler resembling the BMW M3 GTR (Race).
See what it's like to develop one of the most popular racing games in the whole world and in gaming history: Need for Speed. The latest version, NFS Payback.
Need For Speed Most Wanted downloadable Cars by BMW.
Maintaining the car fleet is the job of Heidi Klinck and Bryn Alban. For others, it might be the first car they ever owned. Need for Speed is less about lap times. You just have to look at the M5 to see how it oozes performance, driving pleasure and sportiness.
The space is more reminiscent of a hotel bar: Sometimes the bar is indeed used for after-work drinks. But otherwise, this beautifully designed interior is the creative hub of one of the most popular car racing video games of all time: Welcome to the studio of games developer Ghost. In the gaming world, Need for Speed is a franchise with a long history. Since the launch of the first edition 23 years ago, the complete series has grown to 24 titles.
The time frame for developing a game like Need for Speed Payback is long and can easily involve several hundred people. The days of gaming and video games being the preserve of adolescents in their bedrooms are long gone — if they ever existed. The average age of gamers today is In Germany alone, a quarter of all video game users are over Need for Speed is less about lap times.
Packed with white-knuckle car chases, the titles in the series are more like action movies in which you can play the starring role. The fun even includes tuning and pimping your personal car pool.
In The Need for Speed the player had a fleet of nine cars to choose from. Today there are no fewer than 80 models, all virtually identical to their road versions in every detail. Maintaining the car fleet is the job of Heidi Klinck and Bryn Alban. The Canadian is lead vehicle artist for NFS and as such the ultimate perfectionist authority in matters of vehicle visuals.
It takes six months to create a virtual likeness of a vehicle for the racing game. So if a passion for gaming and cars is a perfect fit for the team, which vehicles are a perfect choice for the Need for Speed series?
For others, it might be the first car they ever owned. Even though they got rid of it years ago, Need for Speed lets them drive it in virtual form and pimp it in ways they might have wanted to do when they owned it in real life.
In the current game, the gamer adopts the guise of the female driver of the three playable characters and gets behind the wheel of a new, dark blue BMW M5.
The M5 is exclusive to Need for Speed. No other video racing game currently gives players the chance to burn rubber with the hp saloon. You just have to look at the M5 to see how it oozes performance, driving pleasure and sportiness.


Northumberland came to a standstill this morning as people viewed the solar eclipse.
An eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth.
Today, for those lucky enough to see the spectacle through the cloud, more than 90 percent of the sun's light was blocked during the event, which happened at about 9.30am.
Here is what some saw in Northumberland, courtesy of the Press Association.

The first night of the Republican National Convention prompted yuge headlines on Tuesday morning, but not for any reason party insiders might have hoped. The Internet essentially exploded after Twitter user Jarrett Hill noticed shocking similarities between Melania Trump's speech introducing her husband and Michelle Obama's counterpart speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2008, resulting in some hysterical Melania Trump RNC speech memes that are giving the potential First Lady a serious roast.
First, let's throw out the possibility, as Trump advisor Paul Manafort proffered in the post-speech spin, that there's no connection to Michelle Obama's 2008 speech. The sentence structure, diction, even the delivery, were all so similar the First Lady's speech, that it's statistically impossible that Melania Trump's speech was not a copy of Michelle Obama's. At the very least, it wouldn't pass MLA standards, and if it's not good enough for my high school English teacher, it shouldn't be good enough for the speechwriting team of a major party presidential candidate.
Plagiarism isn't technically a legal offense, so the only court that matters is the court of public opinion — and it's not disappointing. These memes might be the only real consequence of Melania and the Trump campaign's actions, so they should be rightfully enjoyed by all until more news from the RNC breaks.
Melania Trump's speech will live in infamy, and thankfully, the world has these memes by which to remember it.


"Well I've really done it now. I have died".
Patricia Hansen Hunt passed away Wednesday Mar. 27, 2019, at her assisted living center, The Villas at Baer Creek in Kaysville, Utah.
Our mother was born May 10, 1932, in San Bernardino, California. The daughter of Leonard and Bernice Cheshire. She met and had a beautiful courtship in San Francisco with the love of her life, Harry Hansen. They were married July 6, 1954 in the Logan LDS temple. Their beautiful union lasted 39 years until his passing in 1993. She then married dad's best friend Jay Hunt in November 1994 until his passing in April 2010.
Pat worked for the LDS seminary program as the secretary at Roy High School for 25 years. She met many wonderful and long lasting friends during this time. She had an open door policy and there were many that sought her wise council. She said it was never a job to her because she loved and adored the youth going through the seminary program so much. However, the job she always said she loved the most was being a Mother.
She had many talents which she shared with all. Her love of writing, poetry, music and homemaking skills were just a few of her gifts. One of her greatest talents was the ability to listen with grace and offer her Christ like love to all who were privileged to know her. Her favorite hobby was traveling with Harry and she loved it when they stopped for a round of golf. A spontaneous ride in the car, was also one of her favorites.
She was a member of the LDS church and held many callings throughout her life. Her greatest impact was with the youth and that of teacher.
She is survived by her brother, Robert Mark Walkingshaw, her two sons and four daughters. Mrs. Roger (Merilee) Haga, Mrs. Max (Lori) Shellabarger, Linda Cottle, Mrs. Mark Jones (Paula Hansen), Scott (Shelly) Hansen, and Mark (Jean) Hansen.

She was preceded in death by her husbands, Harry, and Jay. One son, Harry L. Hansen, her granddaughter, Alicia Ann Haga, son in- laws, Kyle C. Okey, and Thayne D. Hansen, as well as many family members and cherished friends who have been anxiously awaiting her return.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday April 2, 2019 at 11:00 AM at the LDS chapel at 900 So. Main, Kaysville, Ut. 84037. Friends may call at Myers Mortuary, 5865 S. 1900 W., Roy on Monday April 1, 2019 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM or at the church on Tuesday prior to services from 9:30AM to 10:30AM.
