MENZEL, Adolph von
(b. 1815, Breslau, d. 1905, Berlin)
German painter, son of a headmaster who founded a lithographic press, in which Adolph worked from the age of fourteen. The family moved to Berlin in 1830, and, left orphan in 1832, Menzel had to maintain his family. In 1833-34 Adolph Menzel attended the Royal Academy of Art, where he met the wallpaper manufacturer Carl Heinrich Arnold, who would become a friend and patron.
In 1833 Sachse of Berlin published his first work, an album of pen-and-ink drawings reproduced on stone, to illustrate Goethe's little poem, "Künstlers Erdenwallen." In 1834 he joined the Younger Artists' Association. By then he was working more in oils. In 1838 he was admitted to the 'Elder Artists' Association. One year later he was commissioned to illustrate Franz Kugler's History of Frederick the Great, for which from 1839 to 1842 he produced 400 drawings, reviving at the same time the technique of engraving on wood.
In 1839 he saw some pictures by Constable in Berlin, and in the 1840s and 1850s he made a series of paintings which are very free in handling and seem to anticipate Impressionism although later he rejected the theory.
Menzel joined the Royal Academy of Art in 1853, was appointed professor and belonged to the Senate from 1875, all milestones in the career of this successful artist. He produced a great number and variety of pictures - subjects dealing with the life and achievements of Frederick the Great, and scenes of everyday life, such as In the Tuileries, The Ball Supper, and At Confession. Among the most important of these works are The Forge (1875) and The Market-place at Verona. Invited to paint The Coronation of William I. at Koenigsberg, he produced an exact representation of the ceremony without regard to the traditions of official painting.

I have received a new modem and went to connect printer again. I called canon and ATT thinking that was the issue and that was not the issue. I even called Norton to assist thinking they had ports blocked. So far nothing has worked. Is there a driver I am needing for printers on my Dell laptop Inspiron 15? I have had nothing but problems with this laptop.
I do not have alot downloaded but under downloads seems like alot there.
First run Delete Print Jobs to remove stuck print job(s) from the queue, then restart your computer.
Make sure the printer is not usb cable connected.
Start, control panel, programs and features(Windows 8 and 8.1: Hit the Windows key and the x keys at the same time, programs and features) your printer, uninstall.
On the printer, see if there is a wrench or settings button. See if there is something that states to reset the wireless adapter(if the printer is wireless) to rest the wireless adapter to factory. Reset the adapter to factory.
Go to Canon's Website and download the Vista 32-bit drivers for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 32-bit, for your printer or download the Vista 64-bit drivers for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 64-bit for your printer and save them to your desktop.
Before installing the printer, it is helpful to use these Recommended Wireless Router Settings in your wireless router, I use channel 11. I would make a new SSID to make connecting easier.
Install the Vista drivers in the Vista SP2 Compatibility mode then follow the instructions. Make sure to choose new installation and network if the printer is wireless.


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 23, 2019) – Brandon Robinson (No. 44 Kennedy Racing/Armbruster Racing Indian FTR750) accomplished what few riders have in recent American Flat Track history in Saturday night's thrilling Yamaha Atlanta Short Track presented by Cycle Gear.
On lap 22 of 25, Robinson made the race's decisive maneuver, pulling off a skillful outside overtake to steal away the position. Mees had no response, as Robinson immediately dropped him en route to a 0.621-second margin of victory.
Heading into the Main Event, DAYTONA TT winner Briar Bauman (No. 14 Indian Motorcycle/Progressive Insurance FTR750) appeared capable of carrying that season-opening momentum like a freight train. He ranked near the top of the charts all day and won his semi with relative ease. However, a difficult start in the Main threw him into a frenetic fight for position.
At the end of the evening, he emerged on the podium with a hard-earned third after running as low as eighth early in the race. However, Bauman was never in contention for the win and finished nearly three seconds back of Robinson.
Jarod Vanderkooi (No. 20 Harley-Davidson Factory Flat Track Team XG750R Rev X) pulled off a second consecutive charge up through the field to finish fourth, while ST master Henry Wiles (No. 17 Bandit Industries/DPC Racing/Wilco Racing Indian FTR750) completed the top five.
Dalton Gauthier (No. 122 D&D Cycles/Gobert Smash Honda CRF450R) took the final step in completing a comeback story two years in the making.
Returning to the scene of his last Roof Systems AFT Singles presented by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys victory before being forced to serve a suspension for violating the sanctioning body's substance abuse policy for the better part of the 2017 and 2018 seasons, Gauthier registered a towering victory in Saturday night's 15-lap Main Event.
Gauthier leapt out to the lead early and was never seriously challenged, upping his advantage to over a second before easing off slightly to secure the checkered flag.
If the "Comeback Kid's" runner-up result in the season-opening DAYTONA TT didn't serve as warning enough to the AFT Singles field for what they were up against in his return, they understand now.
If anyone had any hope of beating Gauthier on this night, it was Morgen Mischler (No. 69 Waters Autobody Racing/D&D Powersports KTM 450 SX-F). That is until he was swamped leaving the line and found himself buried in the pack as they stormed into Turn 1.
Mischler was in astonishing form from there, making quick work of some of the best flat trackers on the planet to slash his way up to second. However, running down Gauthier was simply too big of a task.
The last rider Mischler made his way past on his way to second was reigning AFT Singles champion Dan Bromley (No. 1 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing 450 SX-F). Bromley just continued to do what he does -- collecting yet another podium result to put toward his title defense. After earning last year's crown on the strength of 13 podiums in 18 races, Bromley is now two for two in 2019.
Ryan Wells (No. 94 Estensen Racing Yamaha YZ450F), who originally finished fourth, was disqualified for exceeding the maximum allowable weight for a rear wheel assembly following post-race technical inspection.
Roof Systems teammates Oliver Brindley (No. 24 Roof Systems of Dallas/Fox Solutions Yamaha YZ450F) and Kevin Stollings (No. 99 Roof Systems of Dallas/Hinson Honda CRF450R) round out the top five for the Roof Systems AFT Singles class.
The Yamaha Atlanta Short Track presented by Cycle Gear will debut on NBCSN Sunday, March 31, at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. PT and will re-air on Wednesday, April 3, at 3:00 p.m. ET/12:00 p.m. PT.
Be sure to tune into the feature telecast of the DAYTONA TT presented by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT on NBCSN.

Melbourne Storm enhances commitment to Sunshine Coast
Storm enhances commitment to Sunshine Coast
Melbourne Storm has strengthened its commitment to the Sunshine Coast during its current two-week stint in the region it now calls its "home away from home".
Storm today announced new initiatives that will build on the club's existing partnerships on the Sunshine Coast in a commitment that will further embed its connection to the region.
The new initiatives include:
An extension of the partnership with Sunshine Coast Falcons as Storm's feeder club to the end of the 2024 season;
Establishment of the Tornados Academy to provide a new pathway for talented rugby league players into the Storm system;
Commitment to return to the Sunshine Coast for the next three years for training, preparation or promotional opportunities.
Storm CEO Justin Rodski said the initiatives would not only provide greater opportunities for local rugby league players to play NRL, but was a commitment by the club to its members, fans and commercial partners in the Coast region for the long term.
"The Sunshine Coast has become a second home for us in the last few years," Rodski said today.
"We always feel very welcome here and we have some valuable partnerships in place with the community and commercial sector who have been extremely supportive of our club.
"Our netball team, Sunshine Coast Lightning, has been a success story since first entering the Super Netball League in 2017.
"The partnership and integration between our two clubs is unique in Australian sport."
Storm General Manager Football Frank Ponissi said the development of players in the region had been important to the club's recent successes.
"The Falcons have been the perfect fit for our players who aren't playing first grade, giving them the chance to develop their craft against some quality opposition in the Intrust Super Cup with quality coaching," Ponissi said.
"To have our partnership with the Falcons confirmed until the end of 2024 means we can plan with certainty, knowing our young, talented players have a pathway to playing first grade in addition to playing with our other feeder club, Brisbane Tigers.

INDIANA MOM HITS OUT AT WOKE BAIL FUNDS AFTER IT HELPED FREE SUSPECT WHO MURDERED HER SON:
Nikki Sterling – the mother of Dylan McGinnis, 24, who was shot and killed on October 1 – is lashing out against The Bail Project after the organization helping get the suspected Travis Lang, 23, out of jail on cocaine possession and burglary charges in January. The grieving mother was "shocked" to find out that the organization supported "violent offenders to get out [of jail]" by bailing inmates out. It is one of a number that have been heavily promoted on social media since Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of George Floyd's murder, and raises cash to bail those who cannot afford to make bail themselves.
"If I can help prevent this from happening to any other family, then I would say that, you know, my life has been purposeful and also carrying out the legacy of my son, who was always so helpful to other people," Sterling said. Lang was being held in jail for possession of cocaine and three felony charges for breaking and entering, resisting arrest and burglary prior to posting his bail. Lang was let out in January after he posted his $5,650 bail, which The Bail Project provided a portion of the fund, while his family stumped up the rest. It is unknown how much the organization provided.
Middle-School Teacher Calls Parents 'Bigots' And 'Kooks' For Voicing Concern Over Pornographic Material In Books:
A middle school teacher in Round Rock, Texas, has enraged parents by reading a Dr. Seuss-style poem mocking them as "bigots" and "kooks" after they spoke out against sexually explicit books in the library. Tyler, an instructional technology specialist at Grisham Middle School, read the poem at the Leander ISD school board meeting on December 16, sparking outrage with parents who were left "disgusted and disheartened" at her words. After parents spoke out against CRT & books containing pornographic content, this teacher demeaned them with a Dr. Seuss parody.
"Everyone in Leander liked reading a lot but some evangelicals in Leader did not. These kooks hated reading, the whole reading season. Please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason. It could be perhaps critical thinking causes fright. It could be their heads aren't screwed on just right. But whatever the reason, their brains or their fright, they can't follow policy in plain black and white," Tyler's poem began."These bigots don't get to choose for us, that's clear. Then how, I am wondering, did we even get here. They growl at our meetings, all hawing, and humming, 'We must stop this indoctrination from coming!' They've come for the books and the bonds and what for? Their kids don't even attend Leander schools anymore. Bring back our books, maintain decorum, good grief. Wouldn't it be nice to have a meeting in peace?"
He Attacked Cops at The Capitol Riot – Then He Went to Air Force Basic Training:
The FBI has arrested a young man who sprayed cops with pepper spray, smashed out a window and broke into the U.S. Capitol before he went to basic training for the U.S. Air Force. Aiden Bilyard was arrested in Raleigh, North Carolina, according to court records. He faces a host of charges, including felony civil disorder, assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon, destruction of government property, entering and remaining in a restricted building with a deadly or dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct with a deadly or dangerous weapon, and several other misdemeanors.
Examiner – Lens:
Last summer, not long after Zell Kravinsky had given almost his entire $45 million real-estate fortune to charity, he called Barry Katz, an old friend in Connecticut, and asked for help with an alibi. Would Katz call Kravinsky's wife, Emily, in Philadelphia, and say that the two men were about to take a weeklong trip to Katz's ski condominium in Vermont? This untruth would help Kravinsky do something that did not have his wife's approval: he would be able to leave home, check into the Albert Einstein Medical Center, in Philadelphia, for a few days, and donate a kidney to a woman whose name he had only just learned.
Los Angeles Mother Uses Family Holiday Card to Introduce Her Child as Nonbinary:
A Los Angeles mother is sharing her child's nonbinary identity with friends and family on social media. At the end of November, Jennifer Chen shared her family's holiday card on Instagram, featuring a smiling photo of her husband Brendan Hay and their twins Chloe and Clark. Chen used the post as an opportunity to introduce her followers to Clark and their new pronouns. "I'd like you all to meet Clark (formerly known as Claire)," she began. "Clark prefers they/them/he pronouns and would like to be known as my kid/my son who is non-binary. Clark asked us to tell our friends and family who they are now." "Brendan and I support Clark in their journey. Chloe is the first to correct me when I accidentally use the wrong pronouns or name," she continued. "As a family, we love Clark and support whatever their journey might hold."
Democrats View Socialism More Favorably Than Capitalism:
Americans remain much more positive toward capitalism than socialism, and their ratings of each have been largely stable over the past decade-plus. And yet the fact that a whopping 38% of Americans view socialism positively is an ominous indicator of the current social state. These results are based on an October 1-19 Gallup survey. Since 2010, Gallup has measured Americans' basic opinions of several economic or governmental terms, including capitalism and socialism. Their views of socialism have held steady, even as Sen. Bernie Sanders and progressive Democratic politicians have pursued an expanded government role in addressing healthcare, poverty and early childhood education – policies their critics describe as moving the U.S. toward socialism. Likewise, Americans' opinions of capitalism have not varied, even with greater discussion of income inequality in the U.S. and the concentration of U.S. wealth in a small percentage of people.
Only a Third of Americans Eligible for Booster Got One:
Only one-third of Americans eligible for a COVID vaccine booster shot have gotten one – alarming public health officials who see the third jab as key to slowing the spread of the Omicron variant. In New York City, where Omicron has sparked a huge surge in COVID cases, only about 1.5 million residents out of 8 million had been boosted, The New York Times reported. Confusing messaging, politicization of the vaccine, and lack of availability are contributing to the slow booster adoption –even though doctors say it definitely will save lives.

by Nellie Bowles:
* Teachers against teaching: Public school teachers' unions around the country are proposing "self-taught" Fridays – in other words, a four-day work week – citing the stresses of the pandemic. Teachers unions have already used the pandemic to keep American schools closed longer than other developed countries, Now the unions are trying to make these changes permanent.
* What a fast swimmer: A Penn State swimmer who competed for three seasons at the college level as a man is now absolutely dominating the sport as a woman, breaking record after record in women's swimming.

Report Fraud to the FTC
Have you ever received a call or a text message from someone pretending to be your bank or government agency to try and trick you into revealing your personal information? That's a form of fraud that the Federal Trade Commission wants to hear from you about. In the U.S., report so offenders can be brought to justice.

Examiner – (Notable) Remarks:
** This is why so many of the most passionately woke are so obsessed with history in America, and the further back the better, as the 1619 Project shows. The past is a world they are much more comfortable in than the present, a place where the racial divide was infinitely simpler, and racial inequality both brutal and actively enforced by the government. —- Andrew Sullivan
** Donald Trump was right about one thing: "American carnage." He didn't stop the bloodshed, as he vowed he would in his 2017 inaugural address, and neither has his successor. But the carnage is real, and it's gotten quantifiably worse over the last two years. We learned recently that America suffered the sharpest single-year increase in murders on record in 2020, with more than 21,000 homicides. The murder rate and tally were below those of the early '90s, but it's increasingly clear that 2021 is continuing this grim trend and that last year was no blip. At least a dozen big cities have seen their annual homicide records shattered (over 500 in Philadelphia), weeks before the end of this calendar year. Their daily tragedies unfold underneath the more spectacular tragedies like those recently endured in Wisconsin and Michigan. Urban anxiety is compounded by the surge of retail theft in places like the Bay Area. —- Judson Berger, National Review
** It can be hard to tell the difference, in the midst of a crisis, between normal levels of angst and those that indicate we might be edging into serious psychological problems. Key signs of declining mental health include changes in appetite or sleep patterns that last more than a week….Having more trouble concentrating than usual or being unable to enjoy things you used to enjoy may also indicate that your mental health is declining and that you need to try new coping strategies. —- Melinda Wenner Moyer
** Is it a good idea for Joe Biden to run for re-election in 2024? And, if he runs again and wins, would it be good for the United States to have a president who is 86 – the age Biden would be at the end of a second term? I put these questions bluntly because they need to be discussed candidly, not just whispered constantly. —- Bret Stephens, New York Times

Purple-Haired Delivery Driver Allegedly Smashes Elderly Couple's Groceries Over Pro-Police Sign:
A purple-haired Instacart driver in Minnesota allegedly drove her car over an elderly couple's groceries after delivering them and left an expletive-laden note after seeing their sign thanking the police last week, according to law enforcement. The couple said they had placed an order for delivery from a local Cub Foods in Coon Rapids, a suburb north of Minneapolis, to be delivered on Monday of last week, the Blaine Police Department said. Police said the residents came outside because they were concerned the Instacart driver would get stuck in their snowy driveway, but when they came out, she yelled at them. The suspect, Tara Olivia Plum, 36, allegedly yelled at the couple to check inside of the Christmas wreath on their front door. There they found a vulgar note scrawled on a receipt. "Instacart doesn't pay employees. Sry [sorry] find another slave," the purple-haired suspect allegedly wrote on the receipt, according to a photo of the message, which also featured the phrases "f*** the police" and "racist pigs." She also ran over about $50 in groceries she had delivered, the couple said.

Time for the final Inquisitorial Cruiser, this time from the Ordo Hereticus those inquisitors charged with hunting down the mutants and witches of the Imperium. Once again a stock Imperial Cruiser with some additions.
I decided to draw on more of a Sisters of Battle vibe for this Cruiser, firstly to give it a little differentiation from the other two, but also to tie into my 40k Sisters of Battle army. The paint job was therefore done in the 'classic' Sisters of Battle colours, black, dark red, and gold.
I used another of the Forge World 40k resin icons on this ship, just like with the Ordo Malleus cruiser, and placed it behind the bridge once again. The Fluer de Lys is a pretty established Sisters of Battle symbol so it fitted quite well.
Unfortunately the ship had suffered some damage to its prow before I bought it and I was quite stuck with what to do with it. Luckily I found a vaguely appropriate and appropriately sized 40k Icon piece in my bitzbox. Shaving the prow off flat gave me a surface to fix it too, only needing some greenstuff to meld the two together. It isn't great, but given how mangled it was before I think it has come out fine. At least it will be nice and imposing then the Inquisitor rams with it!
Finally have a picture of all three of the Inquisitorial Cruisers together – Malleus, Hereticus, and Xenos. All souped up Imperial cruisers with enough to set them apart from regualr ships without breaking the theme. At nigh on 400pts each they are very (over) pricey, but make nice scenario or campaign pieces.

Y más cuando se trata de liderar una Barcelona que ha sido llamada los angeles Sodoma y Gomorra de Europa pero también los angeles ciudad de los prodigios.
This booklet analyses the altering political recruitment of the Australian federal parliamentary elite. It argues that the elite's caliber has been lowered to a worrisome measure, particularly because the Nineteen Nineties. It means that the declining caliber of the Australian 'political category' is a significant factor in the back of the declining public belief in politicians.

The Washington State Capitol campus is one of my favorite places to shoot when I just need to get out and take some pictures. I also use it when I am wanting to check out new gear. It is fairly close to my house, after business hours parking is very good, and there are a ton of things to shoot, everything from the capitol building itself to amazing views of downtown Olympia.
I have always been fascinated with the art of blowing glass. I had the opportunity to watch the artisans at the Tacoma Glass Museum create this years great pumpkin, apparently they do this every year, and it was a fascinating experience.
It took a number of hours of building up, coloring and shaping the molten glass until it was ready to actually be blown into the pumpkin. It took an entire team of artists who worked like a well oiled machine to pull this feat off. Even though things moved very slowly, right up until the last few seconds when they actually blew the glass, it was simply fascinating to watch everything that lead up to those couple seconds.
In addition to watching the artists create the pumpkin, it was a great opportunity to test the a6000 out in some challenging conditions. I was shooting hand held, in a darker environment with scenes that had very wide ranges in color and contrast. This image is a perfect example of that. I can honestly say that I am quite pleased with how that tiny little camera handled a really big job.
For today's blog post, the 2nd this week for those keeping score, I am returning to a trip I made to the Palouse region in early June with some amazing photographer friends and sharing this image of long shadows falling across the rolling hills as seen from Steptoe Butte.
This particular image was captured at sunrise, but the joy of shooting at Steptoe Butte is that you have a wonderful 360 degree view from higher up and both sunset and sunrise are great times to shoot.
Incase you forgot, I do have a photoblog, and here it is. The reason that you might have forgotten is that I haven't actually updated it in what seems like forever. It isn't that I haven't wanted to update it, just that I have been on the road for work a lot lately and simply haven't had a chance. But I am going to change that today by posting this image of Maple Park Drive here in Olympia to kick things off again.
The PNW isn't really known for its fall colors like areas in the northeast US are, but we do have some nice little pockets of places where the color can be quite nice. Maple Park Drive is one such place just a few blocks away from the Washington State Capitol building.
At first I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to get out a day sooner to get this show, this was taken on a Sunday and we had a pretty big wind storm the day before. After I got there and saw that there were a lot of very colorful leaves on the ground I changed my mind, I doubt that the street would have looked like anything other than a street the day before.

New Zealand: How to end the race and class inequalities destroying working people's lives
By Mike Treen
September 9, 2021 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from The Daily Blog — A recent study found that Māori had twice the mortality from various cancers than non-Māori.
This statistic isn't new. I came across a similar finding in my notes from three decades ago. Cancer deaths twice that of Pākeha, while medical interventions were half that of Pākehā.
So we have to take a long, hard look at why the system has failed Māori despite three decades of progress in certain areas. There's been a significant growth in professional and middle-class layers among Māori which is a good thing. There's been an expansion in Māori-run businesses and assets under Māori control that deliver services directly to Māori people.
Yet, despite this progress, Māori continue to die from preventable diseases at 2-3 times the rate for non-Māori.
How housing illustrates the nature of the multiple crises we face
August 31, 2021 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Converge — Probably only one number is needed to explain the current housing crisis. Total mortgage lending increased 50% in the year to June 2021 to reach $97,797 million compared to $65,129 million for the June 2020 year. Most of the new lending went to speculators rather than new home buyers. This is all a direct consequence of Government policies that give almost complete free rein to banks to create and allocate debt without almost any control. This has been compounded by the Reserve Bank printing money to buy bonds and drive down interest rates. It offers banks virtually free money to lend to whoever they want.

For a Green New Deal with people's power
January 14, 2020 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Today for the first time in half a century there is a wave of revolt sweeping the world that seems pregnant with revolutionary possibilities that may finally allow working people to help lead humanity and the planet we exist on out of the hell-hole that capitalism has created for us.
I lived through the 1960s and 70s during a similar period of challenge and change. It filled me with hope for the future of humanity. Progressive change seemed inevitable. Working people expanded their rights and living standards. Access to health care, education and welfare became expanded. Women, Maori, Gays and other oppressed peoples found their voices to challenge discrimination and seek liberation.
The institutions working people could use to empower themselves like the trade unions seemed to get stronger, active and more democratic. Parties that claimed to represent us became more progressive in their outlook.
Internationally the ruling elites were frightened. In response, they launched a full-scale ideological, political, and social counter-revolution that swept away or corrupted many of the gains that had been made. Led by the then UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and US President Ronald Reagan, the right-wing wave swept the world.
Why did New Zealand suffer the worst casualty rate in World War I?
January 23, 2019 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Armistice Day, November 11, commemorates the day when the fighting stopped on the Western front in Europe.
As a participant in this lie of the "war to end all wars" New Zealand had achieved the unique result of suffering the highest military casualty rate of any nation involved in that war.
'Being treated like slaves': Why migrant exploitation exists
November 16, 2018 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal – Recently Unite Union discovered a case of migrant exploitation where the workers talked about being "treated like slaves".
In a capitalist society labour is meant to be "free" – unlike the forced labour associated with slavery. Workers are not meant to be the property of an individual owner. But it is also meant to be free in the sense that the worker is not bound to the land like feudal conditions. Then the serfs had no right to leave the land but the owner had no right to evict them either. Creating a class of "free labour" under capitalism involved the forced eviction of peasants from the land.
New Zealand: A strategic vision for unions under Ardern's Labour-led government
June 9, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Converge — The union movement needs to have a strategic approach to the newly-elected Labour-led government that can maximise the immediate gains to be made whilst not accepting the absurd fiscal limits they have imposed on themselves. The Government has declared their acceptance of a narrowly-defined "fiscal responsibility" that accepts the unfair taxation regime of the previous Government and refuses to introduce any new taxes on the wealthy individuals and corporates who treat taxation as a voluntary activity.
They have also accepted a commitment to run surplus budgets in most circumstances to repay the accumulated debt when these debt levels are actually very low by any international measure. Budget surpluses require a Government to collect more tax than it spends – which inevitably depresses economic activity rather than stimulates it. That does not mean that I think governments in a capitalist economy can spend what they like or can prevent economic crises – but that is another story.
Confronting racism is key to realising working class unity and power
February 9, 2017 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Working people need to confront racism, sexism and anti-immigrant prejudice if we are to be successful in uniting our class sufficiently to take on the huge power of the one percent – the super-rich owners of most productive wealth in society.
Migrant labour, exploitation and 'free' markets
October 27, 2016 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Currently, New Zealand has at least 150,000 people working on temporary work visas or as students with the right to work up to 20 hours a week or full-time when on vacation. Most of them have hopes of being able to transition towards permanent residence, yet official figures confirm only one in six is able to do so. Government policies have deliberately led to the creation of a huge pool of desperately vulnerable workers to help big business exploit them more effectively.
Immigration policy under "free market" economies are designed to keep working people down – not out. While mainstream politicians routinely resort to subtle (and not so subtle) racist smears on migrants, government policies actually facilitate further migration. Capitalist "democracies" love to have large segments of the working class with no, or very few, rights – and that is true for New Zealand as well.

By Mike Treen, Unite Union national director
September 28, 2014 -- Daily Blog -- Anyone on the left would have been disappointed at the result of the September 20 general election. There was an opportunity to win, but that got lost through a combination of factors. There were tactical decisions made by Labour Party, the Greens and Internet-Mana that contributed to the defeat. Each party needs to have a discussion on what those were.
However, the defeat was the product of objective conditions in the first instance.

By John Minto
September 22, 2014 -- Daily Blog -- It was always going to be a hard task for MANA party leader Hone Harawira to hold onto his Te Tai Tokerau seat in the September 20 general election when the political establishment united in a coalition to defeat him and the chance for Internet MANA to bring more MPs into parliament.
From the outset Labour Party candidate Kelvin Davis announced he was going hard-out to win the seat despite any sane strategist realising at that stage that Labour would almost certainly need Internet MANA votes in a coalition of the left to change the government. Killing off MANA's parliamentary representation would be a self-defeating strategy. However Davis was quickly backed up by several more of the party's right-wing MPs such as Phil Goff and Chris Hipkins and then by Labour leader David Cunliffe.

Statement by Fightback
June 10, 2014 -- Fightback, posted Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal with permission -- The decision by the MANA Movement to enter into a formal alliance with the Internet Party has drawn criticism from right and left. Fightback has voiced criticism of our own.
In our April 2014 editorial, we said that "Fightback opposes any close ties between the Internet Party and the MANA Movement." We added: "Fightback also opposes MANA entering a coalition government with pro-capitalist parties."
We argued that the Internet Party "is more or less a front for millionaire Kim Dotcom", that the "Internet Party's politics are extremely vague and no candidates have yet been revealed" and that "there is no sign that it represents a progressive force".
We were wrong.

Inequality will be the issue for 2014
By Mike Treen, national director of the Unite union (New Zealand)
January 14, 2014 -- The Daily Blog, posted at Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal with the permission of the author -- Everyone from the Pope Francis to US President Barack Obama is bemoaning the effect that inequality is having on the world today. It is even being blamed for the depth of the economic recession and the weakness of the current recovery because it is claimed that poorer people spend a larger portion of their income than the rich who save more and thus more equal income would help revitalise the economy.

Aotearoa/New Zealand: John Minto for Auckland mayor -- 'We need a Kiwi socialism'
[Click HERE for more coverage of politics in Aotearoa/New Zealand.]
By Daphne Lawless
August 24, 2013 -- Fightback, posted at Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal with permission -- The latest opinion polls put John Minto – teacher, veteran activist and MANA movement candidate – in third place in the race for mayor of Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland, to be held on October 12, 2013. Why has John Minto decided to run for the most powerful urban office in Aotearoa/New Zealand? He hesitates for quite a long time before answering – he calls it "the hardest question".
It's certainly not a question of seeking the limelight. A recent interview in the NZ Herald by Michelle Hewitson focussed relentlessly on delving Minto's personality – and bringing up what John calls "the wallpaper of history" about his 30-year activist career. So he seems quite relieved that Fightback is interested in his campaign's politics.

New Zealand: Racist 'Pakeha Party' ignores history
By Thomas Roud, Christchurch
July 29, 2013 -- Fightback -- A Facebook page for "The Pakeha Party" caused a stir in early July, quickly gaining more "likes" than any other political party in New Zealand. [Pākehā are New Zealanders of European descent.] While the founder, David Ruck, admitted that the idea was initially a joke between friends, the torrent of interest has resulted in an attempt to build a real political party based on rhetoric of "equal rights" for all New Zealanders.
The Pakeha Party illustrates the profound ignorance of history within our society, as well as an underbelly of racism which have both been emerging more frequently during the economic recession. While many have, quite rightly, pointed out that David Ruck is a complete buffoon, the popularity of his bigoted "joke" highlights a dangerous ideological tendency.

ALL HELL – THE GRAVE ALCHEMIST
Asheville, North Carolina's horror-thrash three-piece All Hell have made some incredible
strides since I last saw them live here in Chicago in early 2016. At that time, All Hell were promoting their second full-length, 2015's The Red Sect, that had been released by
Philadelphia's respectable independent label, Horror Pain Gore Death
Productions. Presenting a
stronger-than-steel stage presence combined with their own unique blend of
rip-roaring "metalpunk" (their own words), I was verily impressed by the act
from start to finish, and I left the show with an excellent impression of both
the music and the band members themselves.
Fast-forward about fourteen months, and All Hell have taken their solid stage act and unique music to new
heights. Now signed to L.A.'s much
bigger and more ably-backed Prosthetic Records, All Hell are all geared-up to make a big, bloody splash on the
national scene with the impending release of their third studio album, The Grave Alchemist. Due to hit the shelves of metal retailers
nationwide on April 14th, 2017, The
Grave Alchemist displays everything that I've come to love about the band,
but better. Much better. Better production, better songwriting, better
Constantly conjuring imagery of dark, decrepit graveyards
and foreboding castles brimming with alluring, bloodsucking vampires, The Grave Alchemist sports twelve delectable horror-thrash offerings that are truly all killer and no filler. From start to finish, this album is one hell
of a humdinger. Solid offerings from the
front half of the album such as "Grave Alchemy", "Necrosophia", and "The
Castle" show you what All Hell are
all about: solid song composition
featuring darkly muddy and distorted riffs, and the perfect mix of punk rhythms
with metal attitudes and subject matter – but it is on the back half of the
album where The Grave Alchemist truly
sets itself apart. Tracks such as
"Memory Tomb", the black-metal-inspired "The Madness Out of Time", the swampy
and spine-chilling "The Thing in the Ground", and the swaying,
head-bang-inducing closer "I Am the Mist" stand out as some of the finest
tracks that the trio have ever written, hands down.
So be sure to pick up a copy of All Hell's The Grave
Alchemist on or after April 14th.
Your metal-loving ears will thank me.

Pat Hord sometimes calls himself an environmental activist. This may seem strange, coming from the man who runs Hord Livestock Co., a family-owned swine operation in Bucyrus, Ohio, consisting of 11,000 sows, 4,500 acres of corn, soybean and wheat, as well as a feed mill.
Hord Livestock and its 80+ employees walk the talk. They are dedicated to managing the land and the livestock by using all the environmentally sound practices available to them — from precise methods for manure application to being part of the Environmental Assurance Program. And that willingness to go the extra mile garnered them the Pork Checkoff 2006 Pork Industry Environmental Steward award.
"It all starts with a firm belief that we are stewards of the land," says Pat "On some of our printed materials and on a sign out front, we state that we care for the land and the animals that are entrusted to our care. It's an important part of what we do." And it's what they've been doing for decades as they've passed the land down through generations. Pat's grandfather began the farm in 1947 with 140 acres of rented land and 10 gilts. His son, Duane, took it to the next level beginning in the 1960's, by adding sow barns, and growing the crop enterprise to 2,800-acres. In 1987 Duane's son Patrick came on board and during the 90's the farm went through another expansion to remain competitive.
One of the ways Hord Livestock strives to be environmentally sensitive is through effective manure management. The farm today is comprised of four locations—Chapel Hill, Pine View, Killdeer Plains and Temple Woods. Each is approximately the same size and at each location land application of manure is handled similarly.
The Temple Woods Farm, for example has 2,400 sows and two barns—one 80' x 600' and the other 80' x 300'. The manure is stored under the gestation portion (80'x600') in a 10' deep pit that holds between 2.5 and 2.8 million gallons.
Before any manure is applied, soil samples are taken and the manure is tested to make sure that the application falls within the recommendations of the Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP).
When it comes time to apply, Hord Livestock uses a 6" dragline system. The manure is pumped through the line and applied to the fields with either with an Aerway or Gen-Til system.
For the Temple Wood location, the CNMP calls for the manure to be applied on approximately 800 acres. All of the locations, except for Temple Woods, have enough acres to spread on. At the Temple Woods location, relationships with adjacent farms have been developed so they are able to spread on their fields as well.
At the other locations, where they don't have such an advantageous location for odor control, rows of trees have been planted as wind breaks to dissipate the odor, and add to the aesthetics.
On top of the pipes he placed a mixture of composted yard waste and wood chips. When the air came from the barn, it was forced through the field tile and up through composted materials. Although it proved successful in bringing down the odor, Pat doesn't see it as a practical solution for a large-scale operation.
Part of the environmental activism includes effective water and soil conversation practices. They have put in filter strips or grass waterways at all their locations. "We've done quite a few over the last four or five years and we will continue to add them as we buy farms or take over farms," says Pat.
The filters are created by basically seeding different types of grasses along the waterways. The farm works through the county soil and water office that helps share in the cost of planting.
"It's been shown that a lot of nutrients will attach themselves to dirt particles. So if you can prevent them from washing away, that really helps," he adds.
Although being an active steward of the land is important, Hord Livestock knows that's not enough. A vital piece of the puzzle is to also communicate and promote their operation and make sure people are informed. A little over a year ago, Hords Livestock began publishing a one-page neighborhood newsletter that goes out to adjacent farms and homes.
Hord Livestock also has a website, www.hordlivestock.com. It's another place where people can find out more about the company's history, employees, mission, as well as its different operations.
"We use it for overall general promotion of our farm as well as for recruiting. And it's been a good tool for us," says Pat.
From the farm's start in 1946, to it's large scale operation today, one thing has remained consistent—a serious commitment to the land and it's animals. And that commitment is turning out to be recipe for success.


and easy to understand menu was essential. The menu needed all information bilingually and also images to clearly represent the food and drink.
Each meal was prepared and photographed. To accurately represent the drink, illustrations were drawn with direct communication with the barista and bar manager. The menu design echoed the global food on offer and brought in retro western style design. After the new menu was in use the managers saw increased sales and a wider variety of customers.

Garmin announced several new products at the consumer electronic show IFA in Berlin, one of the most significant was the announcement for the new vivomove HR. I don't think this new product was surprising for anyone, based on Garmin's track record of product iterations. The original vivomove released last year aimed at a lower tier and as such shipped without Garmin's wrist-based optical HR sensor. That decision was surprising at the time but immediately intimated that the vivomove line would be iterative.
The vivomove HR is currently slated to release late November 2017 with two price tiers, vivomove HR 'Sport' (Available in Black or Rose Gold) with an RRP of $299. The second tier is the vivomove HR 'Premium (available with a Silver Bezel and Dark Brown leather and a Gold Bezel with a lighter brown leather band) with an RRP of $449.
There are four different models, as shown below. The difference between the premium and the sports watches are the bands that come with the watches. The premium versions come with leather bands while the sports versions come with a silicone band. Garmin has made the bands available for purchase individually though, so you're not limited. *The vivomove HR is also compatible with the vivoactive three bands.
These are the major change factors from the previous iteration, but I'll include full, and the difference only specs sheets for those interested in every little detail.
The biggest change here is the departure from Analogue watch first, Smartwatch second to more of a balance between the two. The vivomove still appears to be a classically designed analogue watch, but it hides a secret, a small touchscreen display. You can tap the screen as shown below or you can turn your wrist, and the watch will come alive.
The touchscreen appears very crisp and seems to be quite responsive offering a lot of fitness tracking information. This new feature is a huge step up from the very basic functionality of the original vivomove. I'll go into more detail for the in-depth review later in the year but the screen can display: a reminder to move, activity tracking functionality (calories burned, floors climbed, distance travelled, fitness age and more). It will also show you a range of HR features including stress tracking via HRV (Heart rate variability). Like any good smart watch, it will also link with your phone (by using Garmin Connect App) to deliver you smart notifications with vibrations for emails, texts, calls, app alerts and social media. The vivomove also has profiles for running, walking and strength training.
The vivomove has Garmin's Swim water rating (Garmin's water ratings) which means it safe in most situations you can even shower with it. The vivomove will also let you control music via the watch touchscreen. You can even send an alert from your watch to your phone if you misplace your phone. Something I haven't mentioned yet is the significantly smaller battery life WHEN compared to the original vivomove. I'm mentioning this because I've had a couple question me about this, the comparison between the units in this regard is apples to oranges. The vivomove HR simply has much more going 'under the hood' so to speak. There are a lot more programs and features always chugging away eating up battery power that wasn't present in the original vivomove. Five days for a smartwatch of any kind is an impressive battery life.
The vivomove is one stylish watch; I can't wait to get my hands on it later this year. Garmin has done a great job balancing a classic design with modern tech. That said, the vivomove lacks in a couple of areas especially comparing it to the new vivoactive 3. I don't know about you, but a couple of my colleagues keenly noted the absence of cycle features. In addition, there have been articles detailing that the display touchscreen does not display well in sunlight, I have not personally used this device outside so we haven't been able to confirm this. There also is no mention of Garmin's latest and greatest feature 'Garmin Pay' which is quickly becoming a staple for 'Smartwatches'. Personally, I think this is a great watch, but I'll reserve final judgement until we get our hands on one this summer.


Santa Claus is real. Here's proof!
I may be Santa's Grumpy Elf, but that question always makes me grumpier. Why do people keep asking? There's even websites that say Santa is not real!
Ok, ok, so is Santa real? The short answer, in every way that matters, is YES, Santa Claus is real! Not only is Santa true, he is legendary!
And if you still don't believe me, here are NINE proofs to prove that point like the point on my pointy shoes!
Mrs. Claus would be mad!
There is no Santa greater than Santa!
You can't prove Santa doesn't exist!
Well, you can see Santa Claus is real right here in this photo, but keep reading for more proofs that Santa exists!
Whether or not you believe in Santa Claus, Santa's touch is felt around the world each Christmas. He even seems to get more popular and be in more places every year! If he wasn't real, how could he do that?
If Santa wasn't real, then, oh boy, would Mrs. Claus be mad!
After all, who has she been married to all this time?
Santa is the greatest gift-giver you can imagine. Even people who don't believe in Santa agree that he is the greatest gift-giver they've heard about. But if you can imagine Santa is the greatest gift-giver, then he must be real. Otherwise, there would be an even more famous gift-giver that everyone knows about. But there isn't a gift-giver better than Santa. So Santa must be real!
If someone says Santa isn't real to you, ask them to prove it! They can't! Sure they might come up with all kinds of scientific questions to which you might not know the answer. How could Santa do this? and How could Santa do that? . But knowing all the answers to all their questions isn't important. It still doesn't mean Santa doesn't exist. After all, there are billions of places in the universe and they don't know what exists on any of them except for a very few here. Have they even been to the North Pole for example? Science cannot prove certain things, like Santa doesn't exist. People can only draw conclusions on what they find, not on what they can't find.
On September 21, 1897, The New York Sun newspaper answered a question from a little girl. Virginia O'Hanlon asked Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, If you see it in The Sun, it's so. Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? .
You can read what was in the newspaper here.
This is how the newspaper replied: Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy... No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood .
Well, it must be true if it was in The New York Sun!
You know there are many people around you who love you very much. But you know that adults don't have time to make or get all those presents. They are always so busy! Even then, they wouldn't have enough money to buy all those presents. Some of them are very expensive after all. Haven't you ever heard an adult say That costs too much or We can't afford that ?
Ockham's razor just means simpler answers are better.
And what could be a simpler answer than Santa delivering all those presents?
Does somebody think that Martians do it instead? Or maybe that parents do it? Can you imagine all the parents in the world staying up all night pretending to be something they're not? The simple answer is that it is Santa being Santa; not millions of parents being Santa!
Even if you aren't sure about Santa, there is something you should know. (He told me this himself.) Everything and everyone changes. What you believe now, you may not believe tomorrow, or you may believe again in the future. The most important thing is that you keep the spirit of Santa in your heart. Just like you keep your love for those who are special to you in your heart. So long as he is in your heart, he will exist in the most important place of all!
If you still aren't sure about Santa, why don't you just ask him yourself? Send him an email at emailSanta.com. At the end there's a place where you can ask him if he is real. I know Santa and I'm sure he'll answer your question.
Tweet that Santa Is Real!

Covid Corrie
July 24, 2020 Dorothy	Leave a comment
Overnight, Covid-19 will hit Weatherfield. People who had been freely walking around Coronation Street without a corona care in the world will be masked and distancing themselves. Tonight in Britain, and soon in Canada, the residents of Coronation Street will be living like we have been.
Executive producer Iain MacLeod was on CBC Radio's q this morning to talk about how the show is dealing with a pandemic that has outlasted their stock of episodes in the can. The virus, and all the precautions, will hit immediately. There's nothing else they can do, he said. To have a build up to it would require extensive reshooting. So they are asking for a suspension of disbelief from viewers. As he said, the viewers know the reality, so should recognize that the show has little choice.
Taping in a pandemic
Corrie and all the soaps began making changes months ago as the pandemic became increasingly serious. Coronation Street cut back from six episodes to three a week. That bought time with already taped episodes spread over twice as long.
Older and at-risk actors were furloughed. Writers scrambled to explain their disappearance. Social distancing was instituted for actors. Camera people and editors scrambled to make it look as if people weren't staying clear of others while they actually were.
Steamy romantic scenes stopped. Large crowd scenes stopped. But the show has to look like the show, and street life had to look normal. The constraints imposed by health precautions called for inventive production techniques. Camera angles, for example, could give an illusion of closeness between actors when they were actually far apart.
Production ceased for a couple of months. I think that is probably a first ever in its 60 year history. When work resumed, they decided to bring the pandemic into the life of the street. The distancing they had already been practicing would become part of the story.
Covid-19 production problems remain, however. Within the bubble of our family, we don't need to stay distant and wear masks. But the actors playing members of a family don't live together in real life. So camera and editing tricks still are needed to get around that. Stand-ins were used if possible. The real life mother of a child stood in for the screen mother in one scene, Cole said. A mannequin stood in for an actor in another.
The show will go on. But bringing reality in is a good thing, I think. Watching television, I find myself distracted when people are too close together. Get back, I think, don't you know better! A soap is part of our daily lives, so it's especially jarring to see its world so obviously at odds with our own. And maybe we'll make a new game for watching: spot the Covid camera trick.

The Value of TRIO to the Community
Ronald McFaddencmaadmin (EDU)
The clash between liberal and conservative values in the U.S. has never been more prevalent than it is when manifested in policies to promote higher education.
The Higher Education Act of 1965 was one of the most meaningful pieces of educational legislation produced by Congress in its history.
There are few remnants from our liberal historic past that we value. The Higher Education Act is one of them.
In an era where national and federal educational policies and initiatives are questioned and criticized as burdensome, bureaucratic and overreaching, the federally legislated "Great Society" TRIO programs stand out like a beacon of effectiveness and efficiency and in direct contrast to this supposition.
A successful model that is simply stated and is undergirded by our most precious national value — education — has amassed the largest organized alumni of federal largesse. Despite years of sheepish acknowledgement by federal legislators and lukewarm recognition by the executive branch of government, the TRIO programs remain among the most successful federal initiatives to date.
As a nation, we have yet to mature to the level where we truly believe in the benefits of higher education and are willing to invest in its long-range benefits. We are still mired in the false promises of capitalist trickle-down economic theory and the potential of athletic prowess and entertainment gifts as the rationale for hope and prosperity.
There are some Americans who believe that education is a matter that should be the jurisdiction of the state and that the federal government has no role to play in its policies, programming or funding.
They quote the constitution as confirmation that the founding fathers' sentiment was for smaller government. It pays homage to the fear of centralized government threatening first amendment rights and the contention that private enterprise holds the best answer for the prosperity of the nation.
They invoke their European past, playing to the so-called pioneering spirit and explorer independence of those who were quick to loathe a strong national government for fear it would result in a monarchist system like the one they left in Europe. But they were disingenuous because they themselves became ensnarled in a caste system in the so-called home of the brave and the free.
These political dinosaurs contend that national or federal systems stymied the freedoms of the local electorate and placed too many restrictions on their ability to engage in capitalism. A national education system would, in effect, limit the sovereignty of the states and, thus, limit the people's freedom.
What freedoms were they referring to? Was it the freedom to provide for some and limit others?
Nevertheless, necessity, a national moral crisis over Jim Crow laws, institutional racism, unequal economic conditions and an impoverished and disadvantaged educational system prompted the nation to launch several initiatives to break down the barriers to equality of educational opportunity and to help the rising tide of citizen aspirations in the 1960s. The adoption of the TRIO programs in 1965 was the hallmark of those efforts to create a "Great Society."
Now, some 50 years later, Americans have grown weary of these initiatives and are more concerned about disproportionate largess from the federal trough. Much has been written and said about the proliferation of government and its net benefit, but there is little doubt that the TRIO programs have been worth every penny.
Look around the community and see how many successful tax-paying citizens who can thank the TRIO programs (Upward Bound, Talent Search, Student Support Services, Educational Advancement Program, Educational Opportunity Center, Upward Bound Veterans, Upward Bound Math/Science and Ronald McNair) for helping them achieve success in life.
And an examination of the nation's history reveals that without the federal government's influence and money, the United States would have fallen further behind the rest of the world in educational attainment had it not been for the TRIO Programs.
What we need now is a significant increase in investment in TRIO programs, not a reduction. TRIO is one of the few models to stand the test of time and prosperity. TRIO produces successful human beings, period.
What was once the vanguard of the educational opportunity movement and the worldwide movement symbol for upward mobility has now become a model for successful people all over the world.
The nation needs to embrace us now and discard the consumer-driven impulses of excess and greed. We should not trade in our desire to buy more for our need to know more. The true road to zero unemployment, and thus a need for lots of government, is to make everybody a capitalist, and thus independent to the unpredictable market forces. Education is the road to independence. Invest now. The TRIO budget is now approximately $850 million, and it should be tripled to $3 billion, precipitating an avalanche of new students, creating tax paying, productive adults and adding to the net value of our educational institutions.
The quality of our colleges and universities would grow in stature as additional TRIO students would be on campus attaining the essential experience they need to develop. We could reduce the number of persons who find themselves depending on propriety and electronic institutions.
Congress should seriously consider the value added in pursuing the option to invest in TRIO programs, thereby stimulating production as opposed to reducing overall expenditures, inducing economic contraction.

Hey Paul. Great article about abandoned buildings. I checked out the link you supplied. Amazing. Thanks for the info.
If you ever come to Bangkok, it's probably the most famous "Ghost" building (i.e. the buildings under construction that ran out of money during the Asian financial crisis). It's smack dab in the business district too.
For flash fiction markets, I recommend www.pillhillpress.com . They have some great anthologies!
Thanks, Mihnea. I'm trying to submit a story about a water buffalo to their hunter anthology. They've got a lot of cool stuff!
Also, have a look at the Static Movement projects: http://staticmovement.com/projects Good luck!
Great article, it got me really interested in Thailand. Thanks.

Secretary Yana Garcia joins CalEPA at pivotal moment for climate and environmental justice
Erin Curtis, CalEPA Deputy Secretary for Communications and External Affairs
916-634-8428 | erin.curtis@calepa.ca.gov
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Yana Garcia today assumed her new role as Secretary at California's Environmental Protection Agency, the state cabinet-level agency established in 1991 to restore, protect and enhance the environment and to ensure public health, environmental quality and economic vitality.
Garcia previously served in various leadership roles at CalEPA focused on environmental justice and tribal affairs. Most recently, since 2021, Garcia served as Special Assistant Attorney General, where she advised Attorney General Rob Bonta on the California Department of Justice's Environmental, Natural Resources Law, and Land Use matters, including climate, transportation, energy, and housing.
"I am thrilled to rejoin the incredible team at CalEPA at such a pivotal moment. While the challenges ahead of us are staggering, our mission has never been more important. With California on the front lines of climate change, our work to protect the environment and safeguard public health while centering environmental justice is more critical than ever – and I'm eager to get started," said Secretary Garcia.
Gov. Gavin Newson appointed Garcia, 38, of Oakland, as California's new Secretary for Environmental Protection on Aug. 12. Garcia was sworn in on Thursday. The position requires Senate confirmation.
"Yana's deep connection to communities, her strong track record as an environmental attorney in holding polluters accountable, and her commitment to bringing diverse interests together make her uniquely matched to the challenges facing California," said Governor Newsom when announcing her appointment. "She is a strategic and compassionate leader who played a central role in helping communities gain access to safe and affordable drinking water. Yana is known nationally as a groundbreaking environmentalist who has lifted up the voices of tribal nations, U.S.-Mexico border communities, and those struggling on the frontlines of the battle for environmental justice. I look forward to working with Yana to implement our ambitious environmental agenda with the knowledge that she is resolute in her commitment to ensuring a California for all."
Garcia served as Deputy Secretary for Environmental Justice, Tribal Affairs and Border Relations at CalEPA from 2019 to 2021, and as CalEPA's Assistant Secretary for Environmental Justice and Tribal Affairs from 2017 to 2019.
During her tenure at CalEPA, Garcia led three Environmental Justice Task Force initiatives in the communities of Pomona, Imperial County and Stockton. CalEPA's Environmental Justice Task Force is dedicated to improving compliance and enforcement of environmental laws in communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution and vulnerable to its effects. She also helped deliver more than $1 million in Environmental Justice Small Grants to 28 organizations to combat pollution, improve health outcomes and increase public engagement in some of California's most pollution-burdened communities.
Prior to her state service, Garcia litigated environmental cases on behalf of several client groups across the state and across the country as an attorney at Earthjustice in the California regional office in San Francisco. Garcia was also a staff attorney at Communities for a Better Environment, serving in Huntington Park and Oakland. Her legal practice areas have focused on environmental justice issues, civil rights, land use, toxics and chemical disclosure, oil and gas extraction, and crude transport. Between 2011 and 2012, Garcia served as a legal research attorney at the San Francisco Superior Court's Civil Division, Office of the Presiding Judge.
Prior to practicing law, Yana worked on various environmental justice and civil rights projects aimed at achieving equitable access to clean air, clean water, and sustainable food and energy systems in the states of Texas, New Mexico and Massachusetts.
Garcia holds a degree in politics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a law degree from Northeastern University School of Law.

Stock acquisition by Royal Dutch Shell
Shell Canada is part of the Royal Dutch Shell Group, but its shares were originally independently traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The company was 78% owned by Royal Dutch Shell which in 2006 launched an $8.7-billion takeover of the 22% of Shell Canada that it didn't own. In March 2007 the shareholders of Shell Canada Ltd. accepted a $45.00 per share cash offer from Royal Dutch Shell Plc [1]. This acquisition was primarily driven by the desire to take a larger stake in unconventional resources, specifically the oil sands. The move was unanimously approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors (Sang Bong and associates). [2]. In 2003 Royal Dutch Shell had appointed a British executive, and former Chairman of Shell in the UK, Clive Mather as president and CEO of Shell Canada. In the year up to the acceptance of this offer shares in Shell Canada increased in value from $28.90 to just under $45 [3].
As a consequence of the acquisition by Royal Dutch Shell of Shell Canada's stock all executives holding stock options benefitted. Shell Canada announced on Mr Mather's retirement from the company shortly after the acquisition was completed that his total pay package for his final year (2007-07) was $4.9-million Including bonuses, stock options and pension contributions and that on leaving the company, Mr. Mather was additionally eligible for a lump sum payment equal to his annual gross salary. His total benefit in that year was, therefore $9.8 million of which some $5 million was from exercised stock options [1], making him one of the the highest remunerated employees in Royal Dutch Shell.
Management & Employees
Current members of the board of directors of Shell Canada Limited are: Robert Routs- Chair, W. Adrian Loader, Brian Straub, Greg Guidry, Gerard Paulides and David Collyer.
In 2007, Shell Canada was named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers, as published in Maclean's magazine, the only fully-integrated energy firm to receive this honour.[2]
