America "Is Moving Towards Two Societies, One White, One Black — Separate and Unequal"
Written by	Theresa Riley | Moyers & Company
Some of you may remember the Kerner Commission, but many younger members of our audience probably will not. The Kerner Report should be required reading for policymakers and anyone trying to understand how we got to where we are now in terms of the black experience in America, the history of the ghetto and government's responsibility to its citizens.
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the report in 2008, Bill recalled that, "when the Commission's work was done, its findings would shake Lyndon Johnson, and the country. The Kerner Report became a moment of clarity for America. A time when the nation was forced to focus on the harsh realities of racism, poverty and injustice in our cities."
President Lyndon Johnson appointed the Kerner Commission in response to the 1967 race riots in Newark, Detroit and other communities. He asked its members to investigate the root causes of the unrest and recommend action for improving urban ghetto neighborhoods. The stark conclusion of its authors was widely reported and repeated: "Our nation is moving towards two societies: one white, one black — separate and unequal."
Segregation and poverty have created in the racial ghetto a destructive environment totally unknown to most white Americans. What white Americans have never fully understood but what the Negro can never forget — is that white society is deeply implicated in the ghetto. White institutions created it, white institutions maintain it, and white society condones it.
Over the decades since, referring to the Kerner Report, as it's known, has become a sort of rhetorical shorthand. For critics it suggests wasteful federal spending programs; for others, societal goals and potentials not yet met. The authors made many recommendations for national action that they thought would make a difference, including the "opening up [of] opportunities to those who are restricted by racial segregation and discrimination, and eliminating all barriers to their choice of jobs, education and housing."
As journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates explained in his interview with Bill, during the 1950s and '60s, black people were largely cut off from legitimate home mortgages due to the government's practice of redlining. And more recently, gentrification has pushed out many of the people in those poor neighborhoods into the suburbs. This weekend, Financial Times reporter Gary Silverman observed that the experiences of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice and countless others show that the ghetto police tactics described in the Kerner report have followed them to the suburbs. He writes:
The grievances being aired are those of African-Americans who made their way out of the slums but feel they are viewed with suspicion in the suburbs, particularly by police mimicking the aggressive tactics of their urban brethren.
"The reality is that we have talked a lot about gentrification," says John Roman, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute in Washington. "We have talked not at all about the people displaced by gentrification."

The 1968 Kerner Commission Report (Credit: Bill Moyers Journal)
Some of you may remember the Kerner Commission, but many younger members of our audience probably will not. TheKerner Report should be required reading for policymakers and anyone trying to understand how we got to where we are now in terms of the black experience in America, the history of the ghetto and government's responsibility to its citizens.
Bill Moyers: Welcome to the Journal.
You have to go searching deep into their websites to find out what the presidential candidates think about urban issues. Their speeches on the subject have been few and far between, and during all those debates of the past year, cities were rarely mentioned. Perhaps it's because to talk about cities, we have to think about the very touchy subject of race. Or perhaps the culprit is amnesia; we've simply forgotten the past that produced the urban challenges of today. Here's what I mean:
The official name for it was The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders. But it passed through the press into popular lore as the Kerner Commission report, and that's how it's remembered today — at least to those of us old enough to remember. If you think all the talk about race in this presidential campaign is savage, you should have been around 40 years ago, in 1968, when this report was published. Talk about controversy! The Kerner Report was an unflinching portrait of America — and it was born from the flames of exploding cities.
Bill Moyers: July 1967 — Newark, New Jersey goes up in flames. Reacting to a rumor that police had beaten and allegedly killed a local man, residents protested peacefully at first. But then the scene turned violent.
For six days, state troops and police clashed in the streets with rioters. Twenty-six people were killed, including a ten-year-old boy. Six days later, it happened again in Detroit, Michigan
News Reporter: Detroit. It looked like the wartime blitz on London, but this was no war, it was arson, looting, a race riot blowing up into something beyond control.
Bill Moyers: Triggered by another police action, and another angry protest gone haywire, the destruction of downtown Detroit was worse than Newark's. The nation watched on TV as Detroit was torn apart.
As reports poured in of snipers shooting at police, President Lyndon Johnson called in the army to put an end to the violence. Thousands of blacks were rounded up, and a curfew was thrown over the city.
Five days on, forty-three people were dead, hundreds wounded and block after block of inner-city Detroit was destroyed. Locals picked through the ruins, stunned and confused. Detroit's mayor said his city looked "like Berlin in 1945."
It wasn't just Newark and Detroit that erupted that year. Scores of other cities seemed under siege.
News Reporter: In 1967, 126 cities were hit by racial violence, with 75 incidents classified as major riots.
Bill Moyers: The country was stunned and terrified. What was driving these events? President Johnson felt compelled to act.
Lyndon Johnson: We need to know the answer, I think, to three basic questions about these riots: What happened, why did it happen, what can be done to prevent it from happening again and again?
Bill Moyers: To answer those questions, LBJ appointed what became known as the Kerner Commission, named for its chairman, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner. New York City's Mayor John Lindsay was vice-chair.
The youngest member of the panel was a populist senator from Oklahoma named Fred Harris. Just in his 30s at the time, and coming from a mostly white state, Harris nonetheless went to the floor of the Senate and called on the president to fully and publicly reckon with these awful events.
Senator Fred Harris: It's gonna take a national commitment, a massive kind of national commitment and anything less than that will not cure the ills that we have, and poverty generally, and the problems of race and the problems of our cities.
Bill Moyers: The president listened. He was furious about these riots. Believing that militant groups such as the black panthers must've somehow been behind the violence.
But when the Kerner Commission's work was done, its findings would shake Lyndon Johnson, and the country. The Kerner Report became a moment of clarity for America. A time when the nation was forced to focus on the harsh realities of racism, poverty and injustice in our cities.
Bill Moyers: On the 40th anniversary of this historic Kerner Commission Report, I asked that formerly young populist Senator Fred Harris to talk about his experience. He's one of the last of the surviving members of the original Commission.
Bill Moyers: What was the urgency? I mean, here you were just recently elected to the U.S. Senate from Oklahoma, a basically white state, little town of Walters. What were you thinking? Is this the end of the country? Is this — what is it?
Fred Harris: We just didn't know how far this was gonna go. Johnson, the president, later I went down to talk to him while we were working on the commission. And he said to me, "Have you seen the FBI reports about these riots?" Johnson was like a lot of people who thought maybe there's some conspiracy behind them. And I said conditions are such and the hostilities are such in these central cities that almost any random spark could've set them off.
Bill Moyers: You and all the commission actually went to the streets where the riots were—
Fred Harris: That's right. We—
Bill Moyers: What did you see? What, all these years later, what are the particulars you remember most formidably?
Fred Harris: We divided up into teams. And my team was John Lindsay and me. John was then the mayor of New York. You couldn't have had two more different people — me from a little ole town in Oklahoma and John Lindsay.
Bill Moyers: For one thing, he was tall, and you were short.
Fred Harris: That's right. And I remember one — we went, for example, we went to Milwaukee. And I spent a good portion of that day in a black barbershop. We found Milwaukee as segregated really, maybe more so, then southern cities. I kept saying to people, "Do you run into much discrimination here in Milwaukee?" And people didn't know quite how to answer it. It turned out the reason was, that they didn't see any white people. That's how segregated Milwaukee was.
And we found there people — of course, and this was true all over — black people had come up there looking for jobs.
Bill Moyers: From the South.
Fred Harris: And the trouble was they found very little opportunity.
Fred Harris: Jobs is what we heard everywhere. John Lindsey and I were walking down the streets in Cleveland, I believe it was, for example. And we'd see idle young black men on the streets, you know. And these guys get up, and they said, "What we need is jobs, baby. Jobs. Get us a job, baby." I remember that so — and that's what we heard all over.
Bill Moyers: It was the promise of those jobs that had lured so many African Americans up from the South in the first place. From World War II on, millions of blacks migrated north. Packing into the booming industrial cities of Chicago and Newark, Milwaukee and Detroit. There they earned wages that were the first steps out of poverty for an entire generation.
But twenty years on, even as this great migration kept bringing more and more people into the cities, many of those jobs began dwindling. Huge plants closed down. Moved out to the suburbs and beyond. Many white residents followed suit, leaving the central cities in droves.
By the mid-1960s, many of the biggest inner-cities in America had become chronically segregated. And were drying up economically.
Fred Harris: There was low family income, high unemployment. Almost criminally inferior schools. No jobs. The jobs had moved out to the suburbs. There was poor transportation. People couldn't get — you had to take two or three buses to get to some of those jobs. And there were jobs, the new jobs that were created, were either requiring a very high level of skills or education, or were just service jobs that were very low pay, kind of flipping hamburgers kind of jobs. The people that black people saw as sort of representing society were police officers. And they were nearly all white. And most of them lived outside the central city. And came in during the day to enforce the law. So there was a great deal of hostility.
Bill Moyers: I had a remarkable woman on this broadcast a few months ago, Grace Lee Boggs. She's 91 years old, still lives in Detroit. She said, "Bill, this was not a riot. This was a rebellion. This rebellion against what you just described as the phalanx of white faces that surrounded the ghetto and kept it segregated." She said it was a rebellion against the loss of jobs. Do you think there's something to that?
Fred Harris: Well there is, in a way. Although you've gotta be careful to say — you know, it wasn't some organized thing. That is, it wasn't a rebellion in the sense that somebody decided to organize it, with a definite ends in mind, goals. It was more spontaneous than that. But what we finally decided in the commission was we couldn't say what caused the violence. Or why the violence would occur, for example, in Watts in '65, but not in '67. What we could do was to describe, with particularity, the terrible conditions that existed in these places, where riots had occurred.
We found, as I said, no conspiracy. There were one or two on our commission said, "Well, should we actually say that?" Well, isn't that the truth?
Bill Moyers: There was no conspiracy?
Fred Harris: There was no conspiracy. No organization to this. And they were, "Well, yeah. Well, let's just tell the truth."
Otto Kerner: (Illinois Governor, Chairman of Kerner Commission) There is no indication, no fact, to indicate that any of them were planned. The elements were there. And some fuse, an unpredictable fuse, set them off, but at this point there is still no evidence for any planning for the civil disorders within the cities.
Bill Moyers: In March of 1968, the report was published. It was brutal in its honesty:
"While saying that a growing black militancy may have added fuel to the riots, the commission rejected the idea that there'd been any organization behind the outbreaks."
Instead, the commission blamed the violence on the devastating poverty and hopelessness endemic in the inner cities of the 1960s.
Among their many findings:
One in five African Americans lived in "squalor and deprivation in ghetto neighborhoods. The unemployment rate was double for African Americans, as compared to whites.
The report described communities that were neglected by their government, wracked with crime and traumatized by police brutality.
Disproportionate rates of infant mortality were astonishing — African-American children dying at triple the rate of white children.
The statistics weren't new. But the Kerner Commission pushed further, and laid the blame for many of these conditions on white racism: quote "what white Americans have never fully understood, but what the Negro can never forget, is that the white society is deeply implicated in the ghetto. White institutions created it. White institutions maintain it, and white society condones it."
The report's conclusion, and it's most memorable message, was this: "our nation is moving towards two societies, one white, one black — separate and unequal."
Fred Harris: We used the word racism. And on the commission, we had two or three people say, "Should we use that word, racism?"
Bill Moyers: Not a word that was thrown around largely by — government panels in the 1960s.
Fred Harris: We felt that was very important, I did, and I think it was, to say it. Because what we know is that oppressed people often come to believe about themselves the same bad stereotypes that the dominant society has. Our saying racism, I think, was very important to a lot of black people who said, "Well, maybe it's not just me. Maybe I'm not, by myself, at fault here. Maybe there's something else going on."
Bill Moyers: I remember that the headlines based on the premature leak of a summary of the report would read, "A Commission Blames Riots on Whites."
Fred Harris: That's right.
Bill Moyers: White racism. And that inflamed whites who didn't want to be blamed.
Fred Harris: That's right. But we thought — now, I think if we had time to background it so that people would have understood it a little better — what we're talking about with racism was not one white person hating one black, or all black people. We're talking about kind of an institutional racism which existed. And where people live in all-white neighborhoods. Send their kids to all-white schools. Drive quickly through black section maybe, or on the train, to a job where all their associates are white. And don't see anything odd about it. That was what—
Bill Moyers: The natural order of things.
Fred Harris: That's right. That's what we were talking about.
Bill Moyers: For civil rights leaders like the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. the Kerner Report confirmed reality.
Martin Luther King: And now we see the surfacing of old prejudices and hostilities that have always been there and they're out in the open — that's very good they're out in the open because you can deal with them much better when they are there to see and when people admit them. My analysis was no more pessimistic or gloomy than the Kerner Commission's report the other day. I do feel that we've got to say, in no uncertain terms, that racism is alive and on the throne in American society and that we are moving towards two societies, separate and unequal, and if something isn't done to stop this in a very determined manner, things can really get worse.
Bill Moyers: The Kerner commissioners suggested a series of solutions to tackle the problems they'd diagnosed. Everything from better early childhood education to a crackdown on police brutality. They pushed for massive job creation, more affirmative action and an expansion of the social safety net.
But critics saw the Commission as wrongheaded. They blasted Kerner for blaming everyone in society except for the rioters themselves.
Commission members had hoped to spend six more months explaining their report to the public and lobbying for their recommendations, but in the face of all the criticism, LBJ shelved that idea.
Bill Moyers: Looking back all this time, what did the Kerner Commission get right?
Fred Harris: I think — well, virtually everything was right. And I could add onto that this. I think one of the awfulest thing's that came out of the Reagan presidency and later was the feeling that government can't do anything right. And that everything it does is wrong. The truth is that virtually everything we tried worked. We just quit trying it. Or we didn't try it hard enough. And that's what we need to get back to. We made progress on virtually every aspect of race and poverty for about a decade after the Kerner Commission Report. And then, particularly with the advent of the Reagan Administration, and so forth, that progress stopped. And we began to go backwards. There are consequences from our acts, and when we cut out a lot of these social programs, or the money for them, or cut it down — we don't emphasize jobs and training, and education, and so forth as we had been doing, there are bad consequences from that.
Bill Moyers: The Reagan conservatives were quite critical of the Kerner Commission as being unbalanced and simplistic. They say, for example, that you failed to take into consideration that the close correlation between being born out of wedlock, and growing up without a father, and being poor, that your work over the years actually exempts the poor from being responsible for their own condition.
Fred Harris: Well, you know, the breakdown in families is just like — sort of — crime and narcotics and so forth. These are the consequences. They're the handmaidens in the sense of poverty. I said at the time, there are a lot of people who want to punish people for being poor. You know, say, "It's your own fault." We want to punish people for being poor. I said, "I used to poor myself. And being poor is punishment enough." I think what you need to do is to help people up, give 'em a hand up. And recognize the kind of terrible conditions that they're grown up in.
Bill Moyers: For the last thirty years, Fred Harris has been teaching politics at the University of New Mexico.
Fred Harris: Power was diffused and one way it was diffused was to break all these committees down into subcommittees.
Bill Moyers: But he never lost his commitment to the cause of the Kerner Commission. When he's not in the classroom, he's part of major, ongoing investigation into the issues of race and poverty today.
Harris sits on the board of the Eisenhower Foundation based in Washington DC. The Foundation was created to continue the Kerner Commission. Its work is to research and support successful programs in the inner cities.
Every few years, Eisenhower publishes an updated set of findings, a report card of how the country is dealing with the key issues raised by Kerner.
Alan Curtis, president of the Eisenhower Foundation: The Kerner Commission said, "Look. These problems can be solved. Let's not give up hope. And so, we try to be keepers of the flame of that message. That there is hope. There are solutions. And we remind America every so often, that we still have a long ways to go in fulfilling the prophesies of those commissions and their recommendations.
Bill Moyers: Alan Curtis and Fred Harris have been holding hearings in Washington, Detroit and Newark to prepare a report on the 40th anniversary of Kerner.
Alan Curtis: We want to listen. We're taking testimony. We would encourage you to discuss today not only the solutions, but how to change political will in America so that we can embrace the priorities of the Kerner Commission and we can begin to fulfill America's promise.
Bill Moyers: In those cities, they heard a striking set of voices —
Komozi Woodard: We've gone from an urban crisis in the '60s to an urban catastrophe in the 21st century. That's what you're looking at when you look at Katrina. That's what you're looking at when you look at gentrification. We are in an urban catastrophe community, we need to be blunt about it because if we use the wrong words, it doesn't wake people up, It puts them to sleep. This is not an ordinary situation and it is a national situation. It is not a Newark situation.
Junius Williams: Big northeastern cities are home to some of the most concentrated poverty in the country, and that's your new split. That's your new division.
Ronald Anglin: We're seeing lives of quiet desperation that we have cordoned off communities in which we allow crime to exist. We allow lots of bad things to exist, and as long as they don't spill over, that's okay.
Richard Cammareri: I would take issue with one of the premise of the most famous quote in this, that we're moving towards two societies. I would respectfully suggest that we never were one society in this country. This country has simply never confronted the issue of race. Race is, I guess, to use a religious term, the original sin of this country.
Heaster Wheeler: I believe 40 years later, today, the conditions here in southeast Michigan are just as ripe for protest, and demonstration, and possibly all those other negative things as they were 40 years later. You need not look too far to see Jena, Louisiana and all of the other challenges.
Maureen Taylor: On my way here, there are people on corners, standing up with signs, say, "Will work for food." But we're in here, talking about what's the problem?
Josephine Huyghe: You want to know what's going on? It's somebody say, "It's the same old, same old." With the continuation of white flight that started in the '50s has been compounded by the exodus of the middle and upper class blacks as Detroit experienced a 'brain drain'.
Dr. Herbert Smitherman: In 1970, the infant mortality rate, that is, our babies dying before [the] age of one, was about 65 percent higher in the black community than in the white community. Currently, it's 205 percent higher in the black community than in the white community.
George Galster: The city of Detroit constitutes 85 percent black residents, only nine percent white residents. The poverty rate — white, it's only 5.9 percent, blacks: 24 percent. The median family income — for whites, over $65,000, for blacks, only $37,000. We could go on and on, but, it's very clear that there are these measurable distinctions between blacks and whites in metro Detroit.
Rev. Kevin Turman: The young people of my congregation and my community are as industrious as you will find anywhere. They are as innovative and as intelligent as any that you will find anywhere. But unfortunately, they have a number of challenges that have been unaddressed, because the recommendations of the Kerner Commission were ignored or dismissed.
Roy Levy Williams: The one industry which has flourished is the prison industry. And, yes, it has become an industry. During the last 15 years, this state has been averaging one brand new prison a year
Glenda McGadney: We have got to get serious about what's going on and what our government is allowing to happen to us, and how we're losing our rights every single day. And all this money that's being spent for the war, we need to pray about that. Because it should not be going to Iraq. It should be right here in our cities, in our neighborhood.
Dr. Herbert Smitherman: When we had 9/11, we were arguing about Social Security reform. Where are we gonna find the money for it? And within 48 hours after 9/11, we found $40 billion for New York City, a billion dollars an hour. When we want to do something as a country, we do it. This is not about can we do. This is about a will. This is about do we want to do. When you start saying I'm gonna have cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, cuts to housing in urban development, no subsidies to mass transit, eliminate funding for job training, cut school lunch programs for inner city children, eliminate school loan programs for minority students, repeal after-school programs. What I'm saying is this is about public policy. This is about resource implementation.
Karl Gregory: The 1968 Kerner Commission conclusion that racism is deeply embedded in the American society is still true. Racism is still as American as apple pie in this area. The existing huge disparities by race could not exist without racism.
Bill Moyers: The Eisenhower Foundation has now issued their preliminary report and it echoed the testimony they heard across the country:
While noting that certain things have improved — such as the dramatic growth of the black middle class — the foundation nonetheless concludes that "America has, for the most part, failed to meet the Kerner Commission's goals of less poverty, inequality, racial injustice and crime."
Among the troubling facts:
Thirty-seven million Americans live in poverty today. But African Americans are three times as likely to be at the very bottom of the scale, living in what's known as 'deep poverty.' Median non-white families have just one-fifth the wealth of white families And… over the last 20 years, three times as many African-American men go to prison as go to college.
Alan Curtis: Many people today — Americans have short memories, of course — don't realize, for example, that the sentence for a minority person is longer than a sentence for a white person going to prison. Minorities are more likely to get the death sentence than white. The sentences for crack cocaine, used disproportionately by minorities, are longer than the sentences for powdered cocaine, used disproportionately by whites. And so, there is still this endemic, institutional racism in America that people forget about. And I think they need to be reminded about that.
Bill Moyers: The Eisenhower Foundation's full report will be released later this year.
Bill Moyers: Fred, you've been teaching democracy down there at the University of New Mexico for 30 years. Your textbook on democracy is used in universities all over the country. Why can't democracy deal with these persistent, chronic realities that the Kerner Commission described and you here, 40 years later, are restating?
Fred Harris: Well I think, first of all, people don't really realize that conditions are so bad for so many people in poverty, and for African Americans, and for Hispanics. I think a lot of people say, well, didn't we do all that? And I think if people knew these conditions — and that's what we ought to do on the 40th anniversary of the Kerner Report, is to get people to see that these problems of race and poverty are still with us. Also, I think we need to approach this on a basis of that we're all in this together. Somebody said we may not have all come over on the same boat but we're all in the same boat now.
And here's the interesting thing. Every poll that's taken shows that two-thirds of Americans think America's on the wrong footing. They're headed in the wrong direction. And there's overwhelming support, for example this: do you think we ought to spend more in prevention, by putting money in education and training and jobs, instead of police and prisons. Overwhelmingly people say, yes. Do you think that we ought to have a social net, just to catch people falling out and to give them another chance? Oh, yes, they strongly believe in that. What about healthcare? We got 46 million people without health insurance. And yet overwhelmingly Americans say, yes, I think we ought to have healthcare, even if everybody — universal healthcare even if it costs us more money. So the public is way ahead of the politicians I think.
And I just think that, as I said, it's in our own interests, and everybody's interests to try to do something about it. We can do it.
Bill Moyers: Thank you very much for spending your time with me.
Fred Harris: Thank you.

The Shiers, An Irish Palatine Family
An ongoing family history project compiled by Roger Shier, Ottawa, Canada. This project focuses on the descendents of Hans Adam Schrier/Shrier/Scheier/Shier who left the Palatinate region of Germany in 1709 eventually arriving in Limerick County, Ireland. Several descendents subsequently moved to New York State, United States of America and Ontario, Canada and then migrated to all areas of North America.
Work is continuing on Roger Shier's maternal lines including the Warrens, Lyndes and Woodruffs that settled in the Whitby-Oshawa area of the former Ontario County in the early 19th century.

Appellate Court Felt Denial Of Compensation To Successful Appellate Counsel Was Not Fair, But Opinion Has Further Far-Reaching Consequences As Far As What Type of Fee Substantiation Suffices.
The abuse of discretion standard on fees award is difficult to surmount. However, it may not be such a tremendous hurdle if the rights facts are present, as they were in Gonzalez v. Santa Clara County Dept. of Social Services, Case No. H041997 (6th Dist. Feb. 28, 2017) (published).
In this one, plaintiff successfully challenged an administrative order declaring that she should be reported to the statewide child abuse index for what was deemed excessive discipline of her 12-year old daughter, based on a victory in a prior published appellate decision involving first impression issues.
Plaintiff then moved to recover fees primarily under the private attorney general statute, with the lower court awarding only $7,500 in fees for her current counsel but denying another $53,000 in fees for three prior attorneys.
The appellate court could not stomach the result, reversing even though the deferential abuse of discretion standard applied. The most troubling aspect was denial of fees as to the appellate attorney successfully prosecuting the prior appeal. Even though the fee petition substantiation was far from compelling (such as failure to justify an hourly rate), the reviewing court did not believe this countenanced a complete denial of fees. As to another attorney, the Sixth District found it difficult to find why a concession that some amount was owed should not have been awarded in the wake of a "failure to authenticate" objection never raised at any time by the defense (except by the trial court sua sponte). In interesting reasoning which may be raised in subsequent fee substantiation issues, the appellate court reasoned that the failure to include any evidence of attorneys' qualifications or the reasonableness of hourly rates did not justify a complete denial of fees once the performance of activities was adequately established—a substantiation ruling which will be interesting to gauge as far as application in future cases. Finally, as to another attorney, the appellate court did rule that a $15,000 flat fee for services was not per se unreasonable, but could be found reasonable based on the total factual circumstances at play.
The ultimate result is that a "re-do" is going to happen on remand as far as the other three attorneys.


We've all been there. So why as building product marketers, do we communicate to key specifiers without truly understanding who they are? In last week's blog, How Many Interior Designers Does it Take to Change a Light Bulb?, we discussed some trends occurring in the design space that are affecting specification habits. This week, I'll examine how building product marketers can create a foundation for effectively communicating with architects and designers.
Okay, I'll grant you that it's not as easy it sounds. The sheer fragmentation that exists between architects, designers and other specifiers is enough to make you throw up your hands and instead, focus entirely on the channel and end-user. But despite value engineering and substitution trends from general contractors, architects and designers still influence 90 percent of commercial building product dollars, so failing to invest in reaching this group is a huge mistake.
Define your situation. Understand what your current business and marketing realities are to identify challenges and opportunities in how to get your products specified. For example, we know that architects have a tendency to be brand loyal if they find something they like. So it's critical to review your competitive landscape to determine who the specification leaders are, discover displacement opportunities and measure the effectiveness of past marketing efforts to identify gaps.
Prioritize audience and market segments. Develop prioritization of your audiences based on their influence in specifying your products. Then, connect that audience prioritization to the market segments that either have the highest opportunity for the growth of specified products, or are most vulnerable to the competitive market. Depending on your building product category, we usually find that there's anywhere from 8-12 market segments (commercial, hospitality, education, multifamily, healthcare, etc.) that architects and designers affect. Determine which market segments are right for you and focus your efforts in those areas.
Create audience personas. Gain a deep, multi-dimensional and behavioral view of your target specifiers through primary and secondary research. Talk to a mix of current and potential future customers to get clarity on what inspires architects and designers and what their beliefs are of your brand. And decipher whether they are more likely to specify a brand or if their specification is based on a performance requirement for a given product's application.
Articulate your brand. Define your brand's core value proposition and point of differentiation to fuel your communications strategy. It should go beyond simply listing out your products' features and benefits. How can you align your service and value attributes with the demands that architects and designers present?
Once you have a keen understanding of your specification competitive landscape, the importance of product specification, market segment priorities, audience needs and brand proposition, it's time to develop a compelling communications strategy to engage and connect with your architect and designer targets. In our next blog, Take the Drama Out of Getting Building Products Specified, we look at some of the biggest mistakes that building product marketers make in this phase and how to avoid the pitfalls that come with it.

Losing Faith in Banks
Kanaad Shetty
Disclaimer: Previously published in the annual magazine "Artharth" by Finomina, The Finance Club of IIM Udaipur
For the economy to function, people need to have faith in its infrastructure. One of the bedrocks of the economy are banks, and people are quickly starting to lose faith in them due to their behaviour ranging from poor risk assessment to downright fraudulent activities. Indian banks have recently come under fire for such poor judgment & illegal behaviour.
India's largest bank had to write off bad loans worth Rs.76, 600 crores of 220 defaulters. Since March 2019, SBI has declared that an amount of Rs. 37,700 is unrecoverable. In the last few years, Indian banks have lost Rs.1.76 lakh crore because of 416 defaulters. There has been a trend of defaults amongst Indian Banks of losing money to bad loans.
A list of few banks losing money:
Banks Defaulters Amount (Crores)
SBI 253 ₹1,14,319.04
PNB 106 ₹36,062.68
IDBI 71 ₹26,219.19
Canara Bank 70 ₹27,382.26
Bank of India 59 ₹13,944.89
Corporation Bank 52 ₹12,844.39
Bank of Baroda 46 ₹10,308.38
Central Bank of India 49 ₹13,625.78
Axis Bank 43 ₹12,274.66
ICICI 37 ₹17440.34
Indian Overseas Bank 33 ₹10,454.12
Due to a few lousy defaulter's public sector banks have lost nearly Rs. 1.07 lakh crore in bad debts. SBI & PNB have the highest amount of bad debts in the public sector, and IDBI bank has the highest bad debts in the private sector.
There has been a slew of businessmen who have employed unfair tactics and cheated banks out of thousands of crores. Businessmen such as Vijay Mallaya, who wilfully defaulted on an amount of Rs 9000 crores from 17 different banks, which was taken for Kingfisher Airlines,fled to Britain to avoid any legal charges. Similarly, the Nirav Modi defrauded PNB and Union Bank and then fled. After an investigation it was revealed that certain bank employees were hand in glove with the Nirav Modi and aided him in committing these crimes. The astonishing part of the scam was that it took place over seven years. Two PNB bank employees issued letter of undertaking to companies owned by Nirav Modi and co-conspirator Mehul Choksi. The total tally of that scam ballooned to an amount of Rs.11,400 crore. The damaging part of the scandal was the internal assistance that was provided by PNB.
These types of incidents affect public trust in institutions that makeup the entire system. A system cannot work if without people's trust, and such crimes re-enforce biases against public institutions.
Corruption in banking institutions does not just take place on the lower levels of management. It could take place at the very top of the food chain. There former CEO and MD of ICICI Bank, Chanda Kochhar was investigated for a quid pro quo situation with Videocon. According to the allegations Videocon kicked back a sum of money into her husband's company in exchange for approving loans. This was a major scandal for ICICI bank, who swiftly ousted Chanda Kochhar in favor of new management.
Recently the new revelation of PMC Bank also eroded the trust of the public in the banking system. The entire bank went under after it gave a loan worth Rs. 6500 crore to HDIL with having on Rs. 11000 crores in a deposit. Then it was revealed that the senior management had ties to HDIL and was benefiting with the loan provided to the company. The shutting down of a bank seriously affected public morale and trust. People are at risk of losing their entire life savings. This bank closure has affected lakhs of people across the country. The inability of the government to assure the people about their money does not help the situation. The government's insistence on making India a digital economy does not help when people really do not trust if their money in the bank is safe.
Another private sector bank which is in hot water is Yes Bank. A bank that was generally perceived as a safe bet has lost a lot of money in bad loans due to high risk strategy. The bank was one of the most trusted in the business. Yes bank was known for giving loans to corporates. This strategy had served then well in the past. But there were some major drawbacks to giving money to a few corporates. Since the company wasn't well diversified in its risks since they provided big loans to a few individuals. The small number defaulters had a major impact on the book of the bank. The bank since had the biggest drop in their share price. With share price reaching as low as Rs. 40 in recent times.
These events tend to erode the public's trust. But other than banks they another culprit was the government. The 2016 demonetization had a huge impact on the public trust towards banks. Overnight the government banned the Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes which caused a widespread panic amongst Indian citizens. Due to the demonetization banks had cash crunch since there was a limited supply of new notes. People stood in front of ATM's and banks to get their hands on some of their hard-earned money. But the banks were unable to provide a satisfactory amount of cash due to a short supply. This move by the government was to encourage people to keep more money in the bank. But this move devolved into a major scandal with both the government and banks being blamed for the chaos. These events seriously damaged the perception of banks.
Eroding faith in banks is not just a phenomenon unique to India. Developed countries such as America have gone through a major financial crisis which in part took place because of greedy bankers. Banks provided subprime loans and often used predatory lending practices to sell loans to individuals with low incomes who wanted to buy a house. Banks were aware of the fact that these individuals would not be able to pay back the loans so they thought they would get a house in the bargain. These loans had adjustable rates which meant banks had the option to balloon up these rates to get more money out of the individuals. Borrowers started to default on their payments which put more houses back into the market. This caused the once high housing prices to plummet. Lenders here got stuck with bad loans. Financial institutions sold risky investment opportunities like collateral debt obligations which were essentially a set of loans put together being swapped by different financial institutions for money. Major financial institutions like Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy and other financial institutions were forced into a merger. The government stepped in to curb the crisis and issued bailout money to many of these institutions. People lost their life savings and houses while very few people became very rich. One of the main reasons for the crisis was lack of regulation and government oversight.
People today have becomeskeptical of banks. These institutions have acted poorly and in some cases with malice. The emergence of new technology such as cryptocurrency and blockchain where all the transactions could be centralized and could be viewed by all involved is gaining some traction. Certain institutions have started accepting them as a legitimate currency and an opportunity to stay outside the banking system. Banking institutions need to see this as a warning to mend their ways as they could be eliminated and replaced with a new type of institution which provides far more transparency and accountability could be far more trustworthy than banks.

Q: Copy maintenance plans to a different server Is there a way to copy maintenance plans from one SQL Server 2012 to another? Both servers are not accessible via the same copy of Management Studio at the same time (on different networks).

A: Go to the server where the jobs exist, in Management Studio's Object Explorer go to Management > SQL Server Agent and highlight the Jobs folder. Hit F7 (or View > Object Explorer Details). You should see multiple jobs in the right pane. Highlight the ones you want to copy, right-click, Script Job As > Create To > Clipboard. Now connect to the other server, open a new query window, paste, and hit F5. Much easier than mucking with SSIS.
You may have to take additional steps, depending on what the plans do. Connect to the Integration Services instance, rather than the database instance, expand Stored Packages > MSDB > Maintenance Plans, and right-click any plan and choose Export package. On the other server, follow the same steps, but right-click Maintenance Plans and choose Import package. You will have to do this for each plan.

A: I found a more hacking way.
Every Execution Plan is one record in the msdb.sysssispackages table.
You can copy records from the msdb.sysssispackages table of source server to the msdb.sysssispackages table of the destination server.
Simply create a linked server on source server and use this Insert from the source server:
INSERT INTO
    YOUR-DEST-SERVER-NAME.msdb.dbo.sysssispackages
SELECT
    name,
    id,
    description,
    createdate,
    folderid,
    ownersid,
    cast(
        cast(
            replace(
                cast(
                    CAST(packagedata AS VARBINARY(MAX)) AS varchar(max)
                ),
            'YOUR-SOURCE-SERVER-NAME', 'YOUR-DEST-SERVER-NAME')
        as XML)
    as VARBINARY(MAX)) as packagedata,
    packageformat,
    packagetype,
    vermajor,
    verminor,
    verbuild,
    vercomments,
    verid,
    isencrypted,
    readrolesid,
    writerolesid

FROM
    msdb.dbo.sysssispackages AS sysssispackages_1
WHERE
    (name = 'YourMaintenancePlanName')

INFO: Replace the server name is crucial to handle destination
  connection on the Maintenance Plan designer.

IMPORTANT:
Coping records only copy the structure of maintenance plan.
To recreate jobs, when you finish the copy, you MUST edit every Mantainence Plan, reset the schedule and save it.

Starbucks anti-bias training 'not enough,' black community members say
As Starbucks shops across Ottawa get ready to close Monday afternoon for implicit bias training, some people of colour are hoping the chain will take other steps to make its spaces more welcoming for everyone.
Afternoon of training 'has to be part of a larger, extra plan to eliminate discrimination in their spaces'
CBC News · Posted: Jun 11, 2018 10:24 AM ET | Last Updated: June 11, 2018
Ottawa resident Tasia Brown hopes Starbucks will do more to make its spaces welcoming for everyone than close its stores for an afternoon of training. (Kristy Nease/CBC)
As Starbucks shops across Ottawa get ready to close Monday afternoon for what's being called anti-bias training, some people of colour are hoping the global coffee chain will take further steps to make its spaces more welcoming for everyone.
Ottawa Starbucks stores close Monday for anti-bias training
2 black men arrested for loitering at Starbucks settle for $1 each, and a promise from the city
The training comes after Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson were arrested April 12 at a Starbucks in Philadelphia, Pa., as they were waiting for a business meeting to start.
"I think there's always been sort of this culture among Starbucks that there's a sense for the black community that it was never built or intended for us," Tasia Brown told CBC Radio's Ottawa Morning on Monday.
Gerald Dragon agreed.
"I move through Ottawa as a black man and I'm in white spaces a lot, and I get a sense of when I'm in a space that people feel I shouldn't be there or I feel marginalized or all those other words that come with that. So Starbucks is one of those places, and I would say the same thing to many, many businesses I go into.... You can feel it," he said.
Gerald Dragon doesn't think part of an afternoon of training is enough to end racial discrimination in Starbucks outlets, though he does call it 'a step in the right direction.' (Andrew Foote/CBC)
'A step in the right direction,' but...
A note sent to Canadian Starbucks customers on Monday said stores will close at 3 p.m. for the training. When contacted, some Ottawa outlets said they'd close around 2 or 2:30 p.m.
So they're supposed to understand in two hours what I've experienced for my lifetime? - Gerald Dragon
Dragon said it's not enough.
"So they're supposed to understand in two hours what I've experienced for my lifetime? That just doesn't work for me. It's a step in the right direction, that's obvious. I can't criticize them for that. But at the same time, it's certainly not enough," Dragon said.
Starbucks closed nearly 50 locations in Ottawa for a few hours to discuss "implicit racism," in light of an incident in the United States. 1:05
For her part, Brown said she doesn't want Starbucks to stop pushing for change in its spaces after the training.
"I'm hoping that Starbucks is not just focusing on this one thing, that it has to be part of a larger action plan to eliminate discrimination in their spaces," she said.

I agree with Eric in that it makes sense to act to save resources and one way to do that is to use our backyards to grow food (and of course keep chickens!). Apart from any other consideration there is a huge sense of accomplishment in being able to produce food by your own efforts.
The cause of global warming does not matter.
The measures necessary because of global warming are the same as the measures to be taken because of peak oil.
So you don't have to wait or doubt or research but you can build your self-sufficiency today. As well as your local self-sufficiency, with your neighbours etc.
Especially because peak oil is not the entire challenge – it's PEAK EVERYTHING: Oil, gas, coal, uranium, metals, space, agricultural land, soil, humus, potable water, wildlife habitat, nature, carbon sequestering, wood for heating, forests, and above all recognition of the challenge currently unfolding.
So have fun in action mode: build systems, gardens, stockpiles, skills, knowledge and confidence.
I'm saying that there are thousands of credible scientists who reject the idea that human – produced CO2 is causing the climate to change, and they have been all but silenced by a powerful propaganda machine. This propaganda machine is so intense that they have been successful in equating believing in human-caused climate change with credibility. I really recommend looking at the Climategate controversy to better understand how the seeming "consensus" has been carefully manufactured at every step to exclude dissenting voices and prevent a genuine scientific debate. No rational person supports nuclear power, but it will come back again, because it is "climate-neutral." I'm saying when you accept the global warming meme without question, you help pave the way for nukes.
I don't see the science/data behind global warming as being questioned by credible scientists. My own experience, and that of many around the world, also confirms the warming trends. Perhaps how much of it is human-caused may be questioned. But the need to reduce carbon levels is critical. The last time we had this level of carbon in the atmosphere (before humans were here), all carbon-sequestering systems failed (oceans, atmosphere, etc.). It took 200,000 years of rock weathering to regain the equilibrium.
I don't support nuclear — it too uses far more fossil fuels than reports tend to acknowledge. And it's questionable whether we even get more energy from it than we put it.
Interesting stuff. She went to a trance music festival, a style of music that produces TRANCES, another word for nonordinary states of consciousness, and she criticizes them for being "oblivious?" And, I know it is sacrilege to say it on this site, but the science behind global warming is extremely questionable. The frequently repeated idea that there is no scientific debate is pure propaganda. Just keep in mind that when you repeat the global warming meme, you are asking for nuclear power. Thanks.
Would love to watch this, but am on a tight monthly bandwidth budget and when the limit is reached it's back to 64kbps for the rest of the month. I used to get your episodes in audio format from global public media, but you don't seem to have the audio formats anymore? I, for one, miss these.
Thanks for your show! Lots of great content.


The two live-action movie adaptations of Yuki Suetsugu's bestselling Chihayafuru manga are finally getting shown next year, and TOHO's official youtube channel is teasing fans with a new trailer. The PV introduces us to Chihaya and the game of Karuta.
The movies will star Suzu Hirose as the titular Chihaya, while Taichi Mashima will be played by Shuuhei Nomura. Arata Wataya meanwhile will be played by Mackenyu, and the film will be directed by Norihiro Koizumi.Additional cast members include Yuuki Morinaga as Tsutomu Kumano, Yuuma Yamato as Yuusei Nishida, Mone Kamishiraishi as Kanade Ooe, Jun Kunimura as Harada, Mayu Matsuoka as Shinobu Wakamiya, Miyuki Matsuda as Taeko Miyauchi, Hiroya Shimizu as Akihito Sudou, and Ryoutarou Sakaguchi as Hiro Kinashi.
The first film is titled Chihayafuru: Kami no Ku, and it is slated to premiere on March 2016. The second movie, titled Chihayafuru: Shimo no Ku, will be shown in Japanese cinemas one month later in April 2016. As revealed earlier, the movie's key visual image is inspired by the manga's second Tankoubon volume.
@tsukiyo123 Seems they really tried to get the actress for Chihaya to sound like the anime voice actress.


EL CAJON, Calif. - A 91-year-old woman pleaded guilty Friday to failing to file federal tax returns for her company that made and sold suicide kits.
Sharlotte Hydorn entered the plea in federal court to the tax charge dating back to 2007 and acknowledged she made more than $150,000 in income from various sources during that period, including from the sale of helium kits that people could use to kill themselves.
During a May raid on her home in El Cajon, east of San Diego, federal agents seized kits that sold for $40 each and essentially consisted of a plastic bag and clear tubing.
Hydorn said she sold the kits under the name "GLADD Group." Court documents say she sold more than 1,300 kits to people across the United States and abroad. Most of them contacted her by mail or phone.
In court, she admitted she made $66,717 in 2010 and paid no taxes on that.
"This prosecution puts an end to the defendant's trafficking in these dangerous, unregulated devices," U.S. Attorney Laura E. Duffy said.
Hydorn, a retired school teacher, told authorities she knew the kits were intended to be used to commit suicide but she said she thought they would be used by the terminally ill.
Prosecutors, however, said she took no steps to verify the physical condition, age, identity or mental state of her customers and therefore had no idea whether her kits were being bought by people suffering from depression or by minors acting without the consent of an adult.
Prosecutors said Hydorn also tried to hide the true purpose of her kits on U.S. Customs forms by listing them as an "orchid humidifier," or "beauty bonnet" and "plastic rain hood."
They said a document seized at her home during the raid stated that the GLADD Group preferred customers to pay with money orders because they "don't leave a paper trail." It also stated she would prefer to not have her name in the check registers of those who "have hastened their deaths."
After the raid on her home, Hydorn told The Associated Press that she wasn't responsible for who uses the kit and was only trying to help people in pain. She said she had been in business for three years and sold up to 60 kits a month.
According to court documents, Hydorn's helium hood kits consisted of medical-grade tubing, a plastic bag with an elastic collar, or "hood," and a diagram on how to use the kit. The kits caused death by helium asphyxiation once the hood was attached to a helium gas source — which was not part of the kits.
Investigators determined that the kits were sold to at least 50 people in San Diego County since 2007 and that four of those people last year used the kits to commit suicide. None was terminally ill, according to investigators.
As part of her plea deal, Hydorn agreed to pay $26,000 in outstanding taxes.
A judge ordered her released on $10,000 bond on the condition she not assist any suicides. She was scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 16.

Rather than being a PHP reference book (for which there is always php.net), the book assumes zero programming knowledge.

Many audacious and improbable schemes for new railways were dreamed up in the nineteenth century, but surely none matched the plan to link the Cromford Canal with the Peak Forest Canal at Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire using a series of rope-worked inclines. This railway oddity opened in 1831 and somehow survived almost unnoticed until 1967, when there was a flurry of publicity when it closed. The line weaved its way through some of the finest scenery in England and was dotted with crazy gradients and whiplash curves. Here was the steepest normal railway in Britain and the only place where you could see a gradient post saying '1 in 8.' It also used steam right to the end, by which time it had outlived many more illustrious undertakings. You can walk and cycle over much of the route today.

A new methodology developed by the Indian Statistical Institute, and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) may revolutionise the method of counting tigers and other big cats over large landscape.
The new method offers the opportunity for researchers to rigorously assess animal numbers at large geographical scales—a critical need for informing conservation interventions and wildlife management.
"Bayesian Smoothing Model (BSM)", the methodology addresses a thorny problem faced by ecologists and conservationists: extrapolating accurate population counts in smaller areas, such as protected reserves, to wider regions where only weaker methods can be employed.Currently, scientists rely on information collected using rigorous but resource-intensive survey methods-such as camera trapping- to provide reliable results at smaller scales. However, they are compelled to use weak surrogate indices, such as track counts, while surveying large landscapes of 10,000 square km. or more. The current statistical method of integrating these two types of data, known as Index-Calibration, developed decades ago, which is known to generate misleading population estimates.
BSM addresses this critical flaw by developing a far more complex but realistic model for combining information obtained at different geographical scales.
The authors illustrated the BSM technique by applying it to the information from actual data sets from WCS tiger surveys in India. These data included tiger abundance derived from camera surveys and habitat occupancy estimated from counts of tiger signs such as tracks. They found model results to be in conformity with tiger numbers expected based on WCS ecological studies going back three decades.
In addition, the new method confirmed scientists' earlier critiques of the traditional "index-calibration" tiger survey method. "BSM offered a superior, more rigorous methodology to combine these two types of data to yield more transparent, reliable estimates," said Prof. Mohan Delampady at the Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore, who guided the development of the new method. "This also opens the door wide for development of even better methods in the future." said Delampady.
"We are delighted to help advance the science of monitoring tigers and other endangered species. The progress on scientific techniques we describe can significantly impact and greatly inform how we direct our efforts in saving these iconic species into the future," said Dr. Ullas Karanth, WCS Director for Science in Asia.
The authors note that their general approach is potentially applicable to a wide range of other species (e.g. large herbivores) whose abundance and distributions are surveyed using different methods, and, in other fields where there exists a similar need to integrate heterogeneous data from different geographic scales. This work was supported by the Liz Claiborne and Art Ortenberg Foundation, the Satter Foundation, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the Indian Statistical Institute.

FLORENCE SPENCE‐THOMAS, Brew ster, N. Y., has identified the poem about which W. L. M. inquired on March 22. The lines, slightly misquoted, are from the first stanza of "If This Be All," by Mil dred Howells (daughter of William Dean Howells).
If this be all, and when we die, we die.
The dread of loss, the certainty of death.
