Prime Future 69: Lunatic farmers & velocity 🚀
The owner of a dairy was lamenting the rise of mega dairy systems and the risks they pose to small dairies like hers. How many cows does her dairy milk?
It's a laughable story except that this dairy farmer & her family have grown the herd from a few hundred to several thousand over the course of their career. They've struggled and strived, taken risk after risk to get where they are. And yet in their minds, they still identify as small, scrappy, insurgent producers trying to survive.
There's a dynamic that plays out across the ecosystem of food production where size matters. To everyone. A lot. There's an awareness (obsession?) about the size of suppliers, customers, processors, neighboring operations:
Big retailers want to deal with big food brands, not small insurgents. There are tangible costs to dealing with more suppliers, smaller suppliers, inexperienced suppliers with unproven track records, etc.
Some consumers want to buy food produced on a 'small family farm', whatever that means. (Why does 'family' have to imply a modest sized business? And who decides what size is the right size? And don't *all* small business to either evolve, grow, or die? I digress…)
Some (most?) producers would like to sell livestock to small(er) processors who have less pricing power than processors in an oligopoly have. (What if the packers got Standard Oil'd?)
Many producers fantasize about having more acres, or head of cattle, or poultry & hog barns.
There's a special irony in the tendency among farmers to want to be bigger than neighboring operations. It's almost a tendency to criticize the operators who run more acres or head than they do. (But is it criticism or envy? Sometimes the two look eerily similar.) It's like a Russian nesting doll situation where the 700 acre farmer judges the 2,000 acre farmer who criticizes the 15,000 acre farmer as too big. I've heard this lament from midsize farmers a few times recently and it raises some questions…How many acres is too big? How much profit per acre is too much? How much revenue per year is deemed over the top? These sound like questions that supporters of alternative economic structures would ask, not those who enjoy the benefits of a capitalistic economy….
The primary counter to the notion that small business > big is the idea of available resources. Who is in a position to commit more resources to ensuring appropriate nutrition – the backyard poultry farmer or the large integrator? Who is in a position to invest in technology that reduces deboning costs in the plant – the custom processor killing 50 head/day or the large plant killing 5,000 head/day?
The primary counter to the notion big business > small is, well, we just know this isn't always true, right?
Big business can be good, small business can be bad. Vice versa. Some small businesses are amazing employers, some are terrible. Some small businesses are terrible suppliers, some big businesses are amazing customers. Vice versa.
I'm less intrigued by the external voices extolling or incriminating business size. I'm more intrigued by the view of producers, and what causes some producers to maintain status quo and some to find a model that allows them to scale.
Sometimes bigger is better, sometimes smaller is better…size is not the indicator of success and it's definitely not the goal.
A recent Reddit thread on personal finance included a comment by a couple making $500,000/year who un-ironically identified themselves as a middle class family with middle class money concerns. It's a similar dynamic with the large producer who still has the mentality of scrappy insurgent, maybe (likely?) that mentality is what helped them get where they are – what helped them do things their peers weren't doing, to get different outcomes than 'average' producers.
Can we just admit that the obsession with farm business size is….kinda odd? Or at a minimum, it's not very helpful.
My hypothesis is that scale is a lagging indicator; velocity of business model innovation is the leading indicator of success.
The more commoditized the business, the stronger the pull to scale to reduce cost per unit. The more value oriented the business, the stronger the pull to create incrementally more value per unit. There's no clever analysis in those statements – those are natural forces that are a function of capitalism and a mature agriculture industry.
I think the successful producers (or packers or xyz business) who will thrive come-what-may are the ones who don't think of their business based solely in terms of the output (corn, soy, weaned calves, whatever), but rather view their business as a business model that is is in continual refinement. They constantly ask what's the process that most effectively generates the output. They think in systems that can optimized.
(This is a great article on the founders of Premium Standard Farms, the 'inventors' of the mega farm / consolidation model in pig production and the mental models they put to work…some worked, some didn't. Btw I'm still waiting for a good book about this phenomenon in poultry – can somebody write that plz? 🙂)
It seems that the really successful producers are the ones that have a vision of where they are going and how they will get there. There's no doing it this way because that's how we've done it, there's no growth for the sake of the growth. There is only relentless learning and improvement.
The great producers realize that they aren't selling just a commodity output, they are selling their business model.
Size is not the determinant of success. It's about business discipline, management, relationships, processes, team, leadership, ambition. Successful producers have a vision for the future that they rally the team around, there's an ever evolving plan for increasing revenue per unit produced or decreasing cost per unit produced, or both.
I recently asked a really large operator how they grew their business over the last 20 years from something not at all uncommon to something truly extraordinary. Did they have access to capital that others didn't have? Some other advantage not available to similar producers? "I don't think so, I think we just do things in a different way than most people are interested in doing. We do a lot of things that aren't uncommon for most growing businesses, they are just uncommon for production ag businesses. We have a yearning for learning. "
Let's call a spade a spade – capital is abundant and cheap in 2021, as it has been the last several years. Ideas are a dime a dozen. It's everything else that separates the aggressive producers from the rest. (The rebuttal I'm expecting is what about the market, the weather, etc etc etc…..luck and timing play huge roles in ag, I'll never downplay that. But there's more to this phenomenon than that.)
I've referenced Allen Nation's book before, but germane to this conversation is a chapter on how farmers approach innovation with insights pulled from a 1962 book "Diffusion of Innovation" that studied extension efforts to get farmers to switch from open pollinated to hybrid corn post WW2.
"The innovative farmer is seen by his farm neighbors as a lunatic farmer. And a lunatic is not seen as a role model. As a result, what the innovator does on his/her farm is literally invisible to the neighbors. This is true even if the innovation is producing visible wealth. The normal reaction to unconventional success is the old it-might-work-there-but-not-here syndrome. The sad truth is that the vast majority of farmers prefer to fail conventionally rather than to succeed unconventionally. It is very, very difficult to be more innovative than the community in which you live.
Here's the really germane part: "No farmer referenced what a farmer smaller in acreage than themselves was doing as applicable or worthy of study. Everyone preferred to learn from someone larger than themselves." Isn't that fascinating?
There's irony in that if you've made it this far, then there's a huge chance that you are in the groups referenced in this last quote from Allen Nation:
"The innovators and the early adopters form approximately 15% of the total farming community. Interestingly this percentage is almost exactly the same as the number of farmers who earn an upper class income from agriculture."
I've recently observed some markers that lunatic farmers seem to have that indicate high velocity of business model innovation:
They ask questions. A lot of questions. They find smart people to ask questions. They find smart people in non-traditional places to ask questions.
They read. Not just industry magazines, they look outside.
They have a sense that what they are saying sounds half crazy, dare I say they know it might make them sound like a lunatic farmer.
They surround themselves with high quality people, high quality teammates.
They have a system they are building/running, a flywheel they are looking to spin faster.
They have some insight that most of their peers don't, some belief that isn't widely held.
They know new practices & ideas take time to implement correctly, so they allow margin (time, energy, $) to experiment.
I'll wrap up today with a tweet:

Prime Future 77: Ridiculous Generosity


Last week sweetheart and I were busy cleaning the kitchen/dining room. After we finished cleaning, I needed a little rest. I baked this fig galette with some fresh figs a neighbor had given me, and I wanted to enjoy a piece of tart on the patio with a cup of tea. As Summer is drawing to an end I knew I wouldn't be able to have many more chances to sit, relax and enjoy my tranquile garden.
I was looking for something pink for Pink Saturday when I found this vintage tea pot at the thrift store.
Pink and White, genuine Ironstone.
The pink roses are so delicate and add a softness to the tray.
The little books I found at the Dollar Tree. Each lady received a book as a gift at my 2011 Christmas Tea.
I have a couple of tea parties to plan for November and December. I was delighted to have some time to contemplate about the menus and all the wonderful things that go with planning a tea.
I bought the three piece set at an estate sale when I first retired about five years ago.
I love the pink candy stripe with the gold accent on the tea pot.
'First Love' dessert fork and demi spoon are from my vintage set of silverware.
The little bottles are precious to hold a blossom or two.
I sat sitting on the swing thinking about the wonderful summer and the joyous time spend with family and friends.
A calm and restful retreat and a cup of tea.
I will be joining some great bloggers at their parties.
Please link up and check out the fun.
Thanks again to my new followers.
Oh my, the teapot is adorable, soo pretty! What a sweet find and your table setting for tea is lovely. I'd love to have some tea with you and help you plan your outcoming tea parties..I love tea parties, to go and to make them,lol.. Enjoy the weekend.
Your teapot is a great find - and your galette - oh yummy!
I so love your pink teapot! Awesome!
It looks like you have a lovely spot to enjoy afternoon tea. Enjoy your last days of summer. Winter finished here a couple of days ago, but is having a good rain and blow here today. We need it as it has been a dry winter. I love your teapot, and have printed the recipe for your Galette. It sounds delicious! have a wonderful week.

Beautiful and delicate. I love it!
The tea pot is gorgeous and I love those sweet books. I think I have one of them! Happy Monday!
Pretty pink tea pot and the fig galette looks delicious.
It sad to to know that this is our last summer meal outside the porch, right?
Well, another time nxt summer. I do adorn you tea set. Very romantic.
I felt as though I had joined you for your lovely tea on the porch. I love your pretty dishes and teapot. I too am sighing and reminiscing about summer's good times. I just had several family birthday celebratons, a class reunion, participated in a big fifties event; so a very full summer. But now I look forward to the beauty and bounty of fall, but maybe just a few more summer moments?
what a cute tea time. Love the pink accents and the tea pot is really pretty. Thank you for sharing this recipe, too.
Your teapot is darling and your teacup and plate look so very lovely with it! I would love a taste of the fig galette with a cup of tea; yum! Thank you for joining me and enjoy your week.
This makes me want to get back into enjoying an afternoon tea. When I was growing up my Mother always held tea. It was delicious but unfortunately time does not allow for that now.
What a lovely patio you have! Having tea there looks so relaxing. What a wonderful find with your darling teapot! Beautiful teacup too!
How sweet and cozy...I love your darling teapot! Thank you for linking up and sharing this with us.
What a refreshing and relaxing post! Your outdoor tea looks divine! I adore your new thrifted vintage tea pot! And your tea cup! But your fig dessert makes my mouth water!
Stunning delectable respite time ... love that fabulous teapot.
Betty, your tea time looks very inviting. Love figs! This reminds me of the fig bars my mom used to make.
Your little pretty pink tea pot, aided just the right touch your patio setting.
I am in love with the pink tea pot! What a beautiful find!!

Catalans Vote in Bid to Solve Independence Crisis
by Staff Writer with AFP
A voter casts a ballot in the October 1 Catalan independence referendum. A majority of voters said yes to leaving Spain, but the future of the semi-autonomous region is uncertain as Madrid moves to take over its administration.
Catalans began voting Thursday in a decisive election that could mark a turning point for their region, just two months after a failed secession bid triggered Spain's worst political crisis in decades.
The vote pits leaders of the wealthy northeastern region's separatist movement against parties that want to remain in Spain, and opinion polls suggest both sides' leading candidates are neck-and-neck.
Will voters again hand victory to pro-independence parties that tried to break Catalonia from Spain, one of whose candidates is in jail and the other in self-imposed exile in Belgium?
Or will they lose the absolute parliamentary majority of 72 seats they won in 2015 in what would be a stunning upset for the region's secessionist drive?
At stake is the economy of a region that has seen its tourism sector suffer and more than 3,000 companies move their legal headquarters since Catalan leaders held a banned independence referendum on October 1.
While Catalonia has long been divided over independence, it was the referendum – and a heavy police crackdown on voters – that focused the world's attention on the region.
After weeks of uncertainty as separatist leaders and Madrid played for time, the crisis came to a head on October 27 when the regional parliament declared unilateral independence.
That was short-lived, though, as Madrid took the unprecedented step of stripping the region of its autonomy, sacking its government, dissolving its parliament and calling snap elections.
Axed Catalan president Carles Puigdemont fled to Belgium, avoiding detention on charges of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds for his role in the independence drive.
He has since campaigned virtually, holding rallies via videolink.
His deputy Oriol Junqueras remained in Spain and was jailed along with others pending an investigation into the same charges.
Allowed just 10 phone calls a week, Mr. Junqueras has conducted a surreal campaign, sending out messages and even poems to supporters from behind bars.
Opinion polls suggest his leftist ERC party could win, and independence supporters in general are rallying to the cause, some of them wearing yellow, the colour of those protesting against the detention of separatists.
"If a leader is removed, another takes their place," said Marc Botey, a 47-year-old musician who will vote for ERC, stressing the independence drive would go on regardless who their leader was.
Over on the other side, the centrist, anti-independence Ciudadanos party is close to ERC according to polls and some suggest it could win under Ines Arrimadas, a charismatic 36-year-old.
"We have a date with history, these elections will be remembered," she told a cheering crowd in Barcelona to close the campaign Tuesday.
Barcelona footballer Gerard Pique, a Catalan, tweeted Wednesday: "Sleep well, rest up. The future is in our hands."
Record turnout is expected, and even before the polling stations opened in Barcelona, people had formed long queues to cast their ballots before heading to work.
But whatever the result, voters and analysts predict no single party will win a decisive majority, which will force negotiations to form a government.
Both camps consist of three parties that may struggle to join forces – Mr. Puigdemont's Together for Catalonia list, ERC and the far-left CUP party for independence, and Ciudadanos, the Socialists and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's Popular Party against it.
In between is the leftist Catalunya en Comu-Podem grouping, which is against independence but supports holding a legal referendum and could play the role of kingmaker.
"Protracted and messy government formation negotiations are likely," predicted Antonio Barroso, deputy research director for Teneo Intelligence.
In an election expected to be painstakingly close, Spanish daily El Pais wrote that of the 5.5 million registered voters, the final result may be in the hands of "a million undecided voters."
According to Catalan daily La Vanguardia, "independence (parties) only need to win 45 percent of the votes in order to preserve their majority."
But crucially, even if the pro-independence camp wins, it is not expected to attempt another breakaway from Spain but rather try to enter into negotiations with Madrid.

CAPE CORAL, FL: It's been a journey spanning nearly 5 years, cast and crew replacements, two hurricanes, four states and a suicide, but comic book writer-turned-director Joe Monks, with one distribution offer firmly in place, says the end is finally in sight...so to speak.
"We've had a zillion things go wrong," says Monks of his directorial debut, The Bunker. "Everything from reshoots to footage being ruined because someone clueless was standing next to our cameras with his cell phone on vibrate, to rescoring the entire film after receiving an offer for international distribution. I've had to dump a lot of dead weight along the way, but with the path finally clear, The Bunker should be out in 2011."
Monks, who lost his eyesight in 2002 to complications from diabetes (he's been a Type 1 diabetic since age 12), viewed the obstacles and distractions as opportunities to make the film stronger. "You learn a lot about the people around you when you're tackling a project like this. Something that's never been done before, something that's going to be groundbreaking. Either you fold and give up, or you find ways to make your film better. I wasn't about to let anything keep me from finishing the movie, the way I wanted it done. Not blindness, not diabetes, not sabotage from within. The rough cut got great festival reviews, our screener was well-received, and a cut without final sound design, film look or score secured us a distribution offer covering at least territories. Why would I let distractions derail me?"
To ensure the final cut is as good as it can possibly be, Monks has entered the uncharted waters of microfinancing, putting up a project on the popular Kickstarter.com website. "I've refused to cut corners," says Monks. "I'm blind.
I don't get another chance to make my first film. This one has to count. We're raising some additional funding to make sure everything's done right. The film look, the sound design, some ADR and re-recording, etc. What's left is largely cosmetic, so we've hired a post house equipped with the AVID system, which I think is going to be a substantial bonus in terms of production value. But it costs money, so we're going the microfunding route to put that together."

This application is for the second house on this steep site with a third to follow. The impact of cars on this cul de sac is likely to be as intense as for the earlier terrace solution and we also feel that an overall site layout should be submitted to establish how this intensified development of three houses will work.
The character and quality of this development, designed we believe by local artist Paul Earee in his capacity as an architect, has been steadily eroded by unsuitable replacement windows and infill of the recessed and arched entrances. This proposal will have a negative impact on the corner with two car accesses and hardstandings and a close boarded fence to the corner, a rather bleak prospect. One mitigation would be to locate car access to the rear of the garden. This infill development if approved will encourage similar proposals. Is there a planning strategy for this whole development?

A bug fix that exposes protected Tweets for Android users has been discovered by Twitter
You might have heard of the problems Facebook has been facing lately but you need to know that Facebook is not the only social networking platform which is experiencing the worst days of their careers.
1.All you need to know about the problem faced by Twitter and its users
Talking about Twitter, it has confirmed that it has found an issue which leads to exposure of protected Tweets for many Android users. This has been happening for five years now, from 3rd November 2014 and 14 January 2019. Twitter further explained that this issue took place when certain settings from the Twitter account were made. This might include changing the email address your Twitter account is associated with. This issue has been fixed on 14 January 2019. So now the users who were not able to hide their protected Tweets can feel free to do that again. Now your posts will not be open to the public if you set your accounts accordingly.
One of the fundamental reasons why people choose to switch their settings from public is that they are afraid of or have already been a victim of online harassment which is very normal these days. On the contrary, other people may only want some privacy when it comes to what they share. Even after all that Twitter was going through, it was still downloaded approximately billion times in the Google Play store. Twitter also explained how it is unable to identify all the accounts which had been impacted by this issue. The thing they did was that they informed the Twitter users that the protected Tweets are up again.
2.Jack Dorsey Has No Clue What He Wants
Jack Dorsey who is the CEO of Twitter was unable to portray how Twitter was working to move forward in a Huffington Post interview. This is why it was entitled by the phrase "Jack Dorsey Has No Clue What He Wants". He had no clue how they were going to address the problems they were facing on Twitter. When Jack Dorsey was asked why this happened, he responded by saying that the interview was about being more open about himself and the Twitter management team. Still, it did not seem to show how he was able to build a multi-billion company and how he will manage to keep it stable. But let's just give him benefit of doubt in this situation, it might just not be his day. Looking back you will remember that usually Facebook is the platforms that is being accused.
Facebook recently discovered four different bugs in the last year, this exposed private data of approximately millions of accounts. There are also many political groups active on Facebook which are not welcomed by many users. This has resulted in huge outrage over the CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg. People are doubting his ability to handle the responsibility of such a widely used social networking platform.

Lots of people start a new sport as a challenge, others as a new year's resolution. I started indoor rowing because I was tired.
That aching 'everything seems impossible and you just want to cry' kind of tiredness. It was the summer of 2013, my mum had been treated for lymphoma, my dad for skin cancer (on top of breast and bowel cancer).
As a single working mum of teenage boys I simply wasn't sleeping well. The final straw was when my eldest son, Henry, volunteered himself (ie me) to organise the food for a weekend expedition.
Standing between the Hobnobs and the Jammy Dodgers at our local supermarket, I burst into tears. Everything just seemed too much.
A friend suggested exercising might help and lent me the rowing machine – known as an ergometer, or ergo – languishing in her garage. Squeezed into the lounge of our little cottage, I began rowing in the evenings while overseeing homework and nipping off to check the tea wasn't burning.
And miraculously, within a week or so I was sleeping. I felt energised and ready to face the world.
But after tripping over the ergo once too often, I returned it to my friend and made the somewhat terrifying decision to join a gym.
It had been literally decades since I had been to one. I remember feeling so nervous about how I looked – a middle-aged mum in a pair of raggedy tracksuit bottoms – and how poor my rowing technique was.
Thankfully, I needn't have worried. The welcome was warm and I soon realised that everyone felt the same way.
The beauty of indoor rowing is that not only it is a full-body workout, it's also low impact on joints. Perfect for someone like me with a dodgy left knee and who was taking up exercise after so many years.
I began going two or three times a week, rowing 2000m each time. I made new friends and felt stronger, physically, emotionally and mentally. I slept soundly and had a spring in my step.
And then my mum died. On a bright winter's day shortly before Christmas 2013, she slipped away with my sister, dad and me holding her and telling her we loved her.
Once again the sleepless nights returned. Waking at 4am, my mind was racing with things to do and how I could support my dad and boys through our family's overwhelming grief.
"'What do you need to do?" he asked.
And so I returned to the gym and began to row. But with a purpose. Without really considering the effort involved, I set myself a huge challenge to row a million metres (Berwick-upon-Tweed to Paris) and a marathon (26.2 miles or 42,195m).
I wanted to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support as a thank you to the wonderful nurses who had supported both my parents through the seven years that cancer had been part of our lives.
On May 5th 2014, their wedding anniversary, I started rowing, tweeting my journey and fundraising. I rowed an average of 10,000m every other night after work.
On some weekends, I added a half marathon to make up for parents' evenings or nights the boys needed me at home.
In order to be accountable, I tweeted a photo of the ergo's monitor showing my distance, stroke rate and time. Strangers on Twitter started sending messages of support.
Enthusiasts of the ergo and 'on the water' rowers alike sent me tips on technique. On the few occasions I tweeted that I just felt too tired to row, a flood of encouraging replies would come back.
Buoyed up by the energy of social media I'd finish another 10,000m. At closing time, the gym staff would vacuum around the machines as I rowed the final metres and high five me as they turned out the lights and locked up.
My friends and family were beyond surprised – I wasn't exactly known for being the most self confident or sporty amongst us. But they encouraged me with huge support and love.
We baked cakes, sold raffle tickets and stood at the tills packing people's shopping to raise funds. My sons spent three days in the foyer of Tesco's with donation buckets. Yes, I did the rowing but it was absolutely a team and family effort.
Local and regional newspapers and magazines and bloggers began writing stories about One Happy Rower – the middle-aged mum rowing a million metres and a marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support.
I was invited onto the radio to talk about mum, rowing and the impact of cancer on our family.
After 200 days I completed the million metres – 621 miles!
On 21 December 2014, the first anniversary of mum's death and 5 days before my 50th birthday, I sat down and rowed the final element of my rowing adventure – the marathon.
Family and friends came to cheer me on, a Twitter friend from a local rowing club rowed next to me for a few thousand metres and my son Henry the final leg. It was 26.2 miles in memory of my mum and I was one of only two women my age and weight group in the UK to post a marathon row that season.
In total we raised just over £10,000 including Gift Aid – twice my original target. It was a team and family effort beyond anything I could imagine.
It's never too late to take up a new sport or challenge and there is something so liberating about being a beginner in our 40s and 50s. We can be totally uncool and have an absolute blast.
Exercise is undoubtedly good for us for all the worthy reasons we already know. But it's also great fun, lifting the spirits and soul as much as trimming and strengthening the body. If you haven't found one that you like yet, try something new. Find a sport you enjoy and make it yours.
Push yourself a little harder, move a little further beyond what you already know so well and you will rekindle a confidence and joy that the years perhaps have eroded. It turns out that the magic really does lie at the edges of your comfort zone.
Be amazed at the kindness of strangers – virtual and actual. People will step forward to offer support, ideas, donations when you least expect it. It is a deeply humbling experience.
Never underestimate who is watching and who you might be inspiring as you move towards your goals. People may choose other challenges or follow in your footsteps because of something you did. And then it's your turn to cheer them along and let their journey inspire you again.
I started indoor rowing because I couldn't sleep. Rowing the equivalent of Edinburgh to Paris, I now feel more awake to the possibilities within me and the years ahead. Being 50 rocks!

Intel apologizes to China after warning suppliers about Xinjiang region
The statement cost Intel its brand ambassador in China
By Rob Thubron December 23, 2021, 9:47 43 comments
A hot potato: Intel has apologized to China following a letter to suppliers in which it urged them not to source products or labor from the Xinjiang region. The statement sparked a backlash in the country and led to calls for a boycott of Intel products.
In an annual letter to suppliers dated December 2021, Intel wrote that it "is required to ensure our supply chain does not use any labor or source goods or services from the Xinjiang region" of China, following restrictions put in place by "multiple governments."
The Xinjiang region is home to much of China's Muslim Uyghur population. Human rights groups have long claimed they are often detained in "re-education" camps and used as forced labor that feeds into the global tech and retail supply chains.
China denies the accusations, referring to the camps as "vocational training centers" designed to combat poverty and religious extremism.
The letter sparked a backlash on the Chinese social media platform Weibo and the country's state media, with many calling for an Intel boycott. CNN reports that People's Daily, the Communist Party's official newspaper, called the statement "absurd" and warned that Intel is "biting the hand that feeds it."
Wang Junkai, a Chinese pop star who served as a brand ambassador for Intel Core, said he had cut ties with the company because of its statement. "National interests are above all else," he said.
Intel responded to the outcry with a Chinese-language statement on Thursday on its official WeChat and Weibo accounts. "We apologize for the trouble caused to our respected Chinese customers, partners and the public. Intel is committed to becoming a trusted technology partner and accelerating joint development with China," the company said. It added that it respected "the sensitivity of the issue in China."
It seems not everyone in China is convinced by Chipzilla's response. "Is Intel's apology sincere?" was trending on Weibo earlier today.
China's foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that "claims related to Xinjiang, such as forced labor," are "lies by US's anti-China forces."
"We note the statement and hope the relevant company will respect facts and tell right from wrong," he added.
Intel has 10,000 employees in China, which was its biggest customer in 2020, generating a net revenue of $20.26 billion. But it isn't the only US tech giant with close ties to the Asian nation. China is also one of Apple's biggest markets; a recent report claims that CEO Tim Cook signed a secret $275 billion investment deal with Chinese officials to help the company succeed in the country

Q: From featureclass (or shp) to WKT e GeoJSON I use ArcGIS 10.1 without Data Interoperability extension and I want to convert some feature classes (point, lines and polygons) contained in an .mdb. I read some posts but can't convert my file.
This is the code I have (that does not work):
import arcpy
cur=arcpy.da.SearchCursor("CESTINI",["SHAPE@WKT"])
for row in cur:
    x,y = row[0]
    print ("{0},{1}".format(x,y))

Some one can help me?
I saw this link:
Converting geometry to WKT using ArcPy?
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//002z0000001t000000

I try with this but the result is:
import arcpy
infc = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(infc, ["OID@", "SHAPE@WKT"]):
    print("feature {0}:".format(row[0]))
    partnum = 0
    for part in row[1]:
        print("Part {0}:".format(partnum))
        for pnt in part:
            if pnt:
                print("{0}, {1}".format(pnt.x, pnt.y))
            else
                print("Interior Ring:")
                partnum+=1

Parsing error SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 9)

I tried with what you suggested but the result is:

import arcpy
shp = r"C:\Lavoro\prova_arcpy\punt.shp"
      with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(shp,['SHAPE@WKT']) as cur:
      for row in cur:
      print row[0]
Runtime error
      Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "", line 2, in
      RuntimeError: unknown geometry token 'SHAPE@WKT'
      What do you recommend?

Someone can explain me the real difference between JSON and GeoJSON?
I was able to use this script to save in a .txt geometry but my problem is that I save only the geometry in 2D and I do not export attributes related to geometry.
import arcpy
shp = r"C:\Lavoro\prova_arcpy\lin.shp"
f= open ("C:/Lavoro/prova_arcpy/conv.wkt","w")
with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(shp,['SHAPE@WKT']) as cur:
for row in cur:
        f.write("wkt_geom "+row[0])

f.close()

How can I do?

A: You are defining your cursor incorrectly. You need to use the keyword with in order to work with arcpy.da (data access module) cursors. (Note that there is an old cursor , which you should not use, and a new cursor, which you should use)
Here is how to set up a da cursor and print out the WKT of each feature:
import arcpy

shp = r"D:\Python\ArcPy\Testing\airports_eur.shp"

with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(shp,['SHAPE@WKT']) as cur:
    for row in cur:
        print row[0]

I am using a point shapefile, so the output looks like this:
POINT (4.4338443496287647 51.949130189938153)
POINT (8.7858617703132005 53.052287104156015)
POINT (15.067460500705343 37.470072800341015)

Andy Rubin: Google Has 'No Plans' To Launch Retail Stores
In a roundtable discussion with reporters today, Google's head of Android Andy Rubin came right out and flatly denied the search giant was considering the launch of retail locations. "Google has no plans and we have nothing to announce," Rubin was reported as saying by AllThingsD's Ina Fried. Curiously, Rubin's explanation for why Google doesn't need stores was basically the exact opposite of argument from third-party observers about why it does.
Rubin said that consumers "don't have to go in the store and feel [products] anymore," according to ATD. That's a pretty marked contrast to what a lot of people have been saying about why Google might want to get into the brick-and-mortar biz. Just last week, MG suggested that "average consumers are never going to buy [Google's] projects online without having tried them first," in fact. Apple has had success providing experience-based shopping environments, after all, which helped greatly in evangelizing and popularizing the concept of the iPad.
But Rubin believes that consumers these days are better served by online tools, including review sites and word-of-mouth recommendations from friends and social connections, to the point where a hands-on experience isn't necessary. He added that he believes Google's Nexus program is still relatively young, and not "far enough along to think about the necessity of having these things in a retail store."
Looking at Google's hardware efforts in the wake of the Chromebook Pixel announcement last week, it does seem that the company is still in a largely experimental mode when it comes to fielding its own devices. A significant retail investment might not make sense until Google decides more firmly what works and what doesn't with its hardware lineups in terms of meeting current customer needs.

Gayoung talks about regrets with STELLAR, describes company manipulating the group
Former STELLAR member Gayoung did an interview with Insight recently, talking about her life as an idol, and covering a wide range of topics.
Most relevantly to this site, she talks about her time in STELLAR.
While she acknowledges that their concept shift with "Marionette" did bring improved results, Gayoung says the members weren't aware of how the concept was going to turn out.
"There was a scene in which [a member] spills milk," she recalled. "The script said, '[The character] misses her ex-boyfriend; she tosses and turns in bed; she wakes up in the morning and drinks milk.' "We thought, 'Oh, she must be drinking milk because it's the morning [and she just woke up].' So that member was filming the scene and drinking milk, and [the director] told her, 'Try spilling some milk.' She thought, 'It must be because [the character] is exhausted,' so she ended up spilling some of the milk. "Later on, while reading comments, she realized that the scene could evoke a certain image, and she was extremely shocked." Gayoung added, "The member who drank the milk was 20 years old at the time, and after [that incident], she was so traumatized that she no longer drinks white milk. She was really hurt. Because none of us knew[how that image would look] ."
With "Vibrato", she recalls that the company basically tricked them into risque outfits, which of course forced them to use it throughout.
"When we were preparing [for our comeback with] 'Vibrato,' they told us on the day of the shoot to try on these [revealing] new outfits," she explained. "We said, 'There's no way we can dance while wearing these [outfits].' They replied, 'Just try them on. Why would you say no without even trying them on?' "So we [tried on the outfits] and took only five photos or so while wearing them. Then, [after looking at the photos, we said,] 'See? These outfits are too much.' They told us, 'Okay, change into something else.' But they ended up using those photos for the release." "After we saw that they had been released, we called [our agency] and argued, 'What happened?'" recalled Gayoung. "They said, 'You didn't know? Okay, then we won't do that kind of thing from now on.' But what could we do? The photos had already been released." She added with a sad smile, "I think they knew that all of the members were too nice and innocent [to argue]."
Perhaps most disturbing is recounting how the agency wields the contract over them to get what they want.
Additionally, Gayoung explained, "Because of the contract that we signed with our agency, whenever we said, 'We don't want to do this or that,' they would respond, 'Don't forget about your contract with the agency.' For a young person, that was scary. I think we had this fear that 'if I refuse to do this, then I'll have to pay this entire penalty fee, and things will be difficult for me.'"
Not hard to see how this could be applied to many things.
Gayoung does note that STELLAR progressed from there, but that the public never took interest in them.
"We released a lot of albums after 'Marionette,' but it turns out that most people only remember our shocking concepts," she commented. "We did keep releasing new music and promoting, [but our other concepts] simply flew under the radar and went unnoticed. It was difficult [for us], because people only responded to shocking concepts."
She goes on to describe hardships like feeling bad for her parents, frustration that people thought their stage image was their real image, and most notably, that she wouldn't do it all over again if she had a choice.
When asked whether she would choose to join STELLAR again if she could travel back in time, Gayoung tearfully replied with a smile, "No, I don't think I would do it again."
All of this is definitely disturbing and disappointing to hear, as I honestly did like STELLAR a lot. Their music was rock solid, they made people irrationally upset at them (especially for stuff they didn't control), and eventually at least their music video directors did have interesting commentary about their perception (which Gayoung alludes to). That said, towards the end, it wasn't hard to see that they were suffering under the company (glad they're still friends, at least).
So this is, of course, yet another example of idols not having control over their concepts and image. But more importantly, it shows how companies use their positions of power to manipulate idols into doing what they want. And stuff like this always makes you wonder whether the celebrities with troublesome reputations are really just the ones standing up for themselves.
Either way, wishing Gayoung the best going forward (she was modelling for Minhee recently), as well as the other members.

Q: facebook authorization error (fandjango) I'm trying to make my first facebook tab app with django.
I did some resarch and found out that fandjago is the best.
So I'm using it , but when I try to require users to authorize I use the decorator
facebook_authorization_required

see : https://fandjango.readthedocs.org/en/latest/usage/authorization.html
I get the following error :

Please tell me what I am  doing wrong, I searched all topics related to th eissu but couldn't figure it out
EDITED
It worked,I had to add my url in my app configuration "Valid OAuth redirect URIs"
But the problem now is that it gets me out of my app to that url, although I need it to stay on the app!!

A: I'm taking a guess here,
you might need to set FANDJANGO_AUTHORIZATION_DENIED_VIEW to fully contain your canvas url

A: I finlly solved it
I had to add the same url of my facebook_redirect_uri to my app settings in facebook, advanced tab, field named : Valid OAuth redirect URIs

A: The URL to redirect to after the user clicks a button in the dialog. The URL you specify must be a URL of with the same Base Domain as specified in your app's settings,
A Canvas URL of the form
https://apps.facebook.com/YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE

or a Page Tab URL of the form

Terryl L. Givens. New York: Oxford University Press, 2007, 6×9 hardbound, 424 pgs.
In People of Paradox, author Terryl Givens traces the rise and development of Mormon culture from the days of Joseph Smith in upstate New York, through Brigham Young's founding of the Territory of Deseret on the shores of Great Salt Lake, to the spread of the Latter-day Saints around the globe.
Throughout the last century and a half, Givens notes, distinctive traditions have emerged among the Latter-Day Saints, shaped by dynamic tensions–or paradoxes–that give Mormon cultural expression much of its vitality. Here is a religion shaped by a rigid authoritarian hierarchy and radical individualism; by prophetic certainty and a celebration of learning and intellectual investigation; by existence in exile and a yearning for integration and acceptance by the larger world. Givens divides Mormon history into two periods, separated by the renunciation of polygamy in 1890. In each, he explores the life of the mind, the emphasis on education, the importance of architecture and urban planning (so apparent in Salt Lake City and Mormon temples around the world), and Mormon accomplishments in music and dance, theater, film, literature, and the visual arts. He situates such cultural practices in the context of the society of the larger nation and, in more recent years, the world. Today, he observes, only fourteen percent of Mormon believers live in the United States.


Spiced buttermilk, i make many versions of this humble summer cooler at home. I add or subtract ingredients as i wish and what i have in my pantry and make a yumm drink during summer or whenever i feel like having some cold drink.
So, when i was looking for a accompaniment with Nuchina unde/Nuchinunde, the thought of spiced buttermilk came. Since these are lentil balls, which usually will be little heavy, i thought something thin, that helps in digestion would be a great accompaniment.
Usually nuchinunde is served with Majjige/.morekuzhambu, but we preferred this neer majjige. My elder one, actually dunked the unde into the majjige and enjoyed it, whereas my hubby preferred biting the unde and sipping the majjige along. It was one fun breakfast for us.
Take coriander leaves, mint leaves, ginger in a mixer, grind it to a smooth paste. Add this to the buttermilk, thin it down with water. Add salt.
Heat a small tadka pan with oil given under tempering, splutter mustard seeds, ad curry leaves, red chilies and hing. When the curry leaves turn lil crisp, pour the sizzling tadka over the majjige/buttermilk.
Enjoy it as such or with any heavy meal. I served it along Nuchinunde/steamed lentil balls, a Karnataka special breakfast.
sounds so thick and spicy..good side dish..
That is a very refreshing and delicious looking buttermilk.
Never tried ginger in buttermilk. It looks very refreshing.
Interesting version. Love the idea of grinding the coriander and mint leaves.
Simply am in love with this spiced buttermilk.
Spiced buttermilk looks really spicy and refreshing.
Wow! I can have that right now as we are burning up in spring itself!

If you've had a crack appear in your stucco, you may be justifiably anxious about what it may mean for your home. Is it a normal crack caused by wear and tear or has a contractor done a shoddy job? While cracks aren't aesthetically pleasing, not all stucco cracks are serious. Some stucco cracking does occur naturally over time as homes settles. These cracks should be addressed before they lead to any further issues, though as long as they aren't numerous or large, they are generally not a cause for concern. Other stucco cracks, however, can have serious implications for the exterior of your home—or worse.
This various types of crack can signify different issues. While all cracks should be addressed, especially because of our gorgeous Florida weather, some can indicate structural issues with the home or problems with the application. (To learn more about what may cause cracks in your stucco, check out our previous post, "What Causes Stucco To Crack?") Problems with the stucco mixture, applying stucco in poor weather conditions, neglecting to follow the proper procedure for applying stucco, seismic activity, and a shifting foundation can all cause serious stucco cracks that may require more than just a quick patch.
To truly understand whether your stucco is defective, you'll need to have it examined by an expert. Such an expert will be able to determine the effect the crack may have on the home, the damage or poor application that has caused the crack, and the costs of repair. For many homeowners, this is an unexpected expense, as is the cost of repair. For homes where the builder or subcontractors are at fault for serious stucco cracks, homeowners should not have to pay for the damage.
Rather than shouldering the burden, homeowners should consult with a knowledgeable Tampa stucco lawyer.
If you believe your stucco cracks have been caused by shoddy labor on the part of your builder or their subcontractors, it's important to contact a law firm that has extensive experience with stucco cracks. Often, stucco cracks are not covered under a new home warranty. That leaves litigation as the only recourse for many homeowners. A lawyer that specializes in stucco cracks can best assist a homeowner as they negotiate the tort process and strive to hold their builder responsible.
At Burnett Law, P.A., we specialize in helping homeowners recover damages from shoddy stucco work. Our expertise in the area has allowed us to help Florida homeowners challenge builders who are too focused on getting the job done quickly rather than getting the job done right. If you believe that your home has been damaged because of shoddy stucco application, contact Burnett Law, P.A. for a free consultation.
If it is determined that you have a viable claim, Burnett Law, P.A. will retain experts for you and file all the necessary paperwork to bring suit against the negligent builder. Our firm works solely on contingency, meaning you only pay us when we win your case. Our goal is to help Florida homeowners who have fallen prey to lowered building standards and shoddy workmanship.
Your home should be your haven. Don't let poor workmanship erode it. Consult with a skilled Tampa stucco lawyer today.


This past Friday, our coalition received a copy of a letter dated August 16th which was written by Ronald S. Cortez, CFO and Vice Chancellor of UCI's Division of Finance and Administration. The letter was forwarded to us by P. Alberto Sandoval, UCI Senior Director of Strategic Communications & Public Affairs.
We believe Vice Chancellor Cortez makes clear that UCI has no interest in cooperating with Mr. Honarkar on his proposal to build "external" student housing on the RSJ golf course property.
Coupled with the Planning Commission's 5-0 vote on August 16th to reaffirm the General Plan and current zoning for the RSJ golf course, we hope this letter from UCI gives comfort to our Irvine community that UCI has no interest in student housing to be built on the golf course.

— Atiku Abubakar (@atiku) November 19, 2018
See the complete Twitter thread of the PDP's presidential candidate's policy plan below:
Thank you for watching and listening. May God bless you and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. #TheAtikuPlan
It is time to Get Nigeria Working Again. I appeal to you to join me on this journey towards a better life for all Nigerians. #TheAtikuPlan
I started out as an orphan selling firewood on the streets of Jada in Adamawa, but God, through the Nigerian state, invested in me and here I am today. If Nigeria worked for me, I owe it as my duty to make sure that Nigeria also works for you. #TheAtikuPlan
And I am not just presenting these policies to you, I want you to own them. Take a look at them. You can view them at https://t.co/ge4jFismXf and on the pamphlets that we are making available to the public, you will have an opportunity to provide your feedback. #TheAtikuPlan
My plan to restructure Nigeria will lead to a vast increase in the Internally Generated Revenue both for the Federal Government and the states via the matching grants that we will provide to state governments that increase their own revenue. #TheAtikuPlan


Because DIYers are used to doing things themselves, they don't care how expensive gifts are. They care about how useful their gifts are. Take a look at some of the most useful, budget-friendly gift picks.
I've always relied on small blocks of wood to set the cutting depth on my table saw blade. Even though I labeled each block, they would inevitably get knocked onto the floor and swept into the trash, and I'd have to make another one.
I no longer have that problem because I picked up a set of Mag Shims from FastCap. Mag Shims are 1/8-in. magnetic spacers. If you need a blade height of 7/8 in., simply stack seven spacers, and raise the blade to match. They also work great for setting the depth on router bits and drill presses. I stick them right to the backside of my fence, so they're always at hand and never get lost. A pack of eight 1/8-in. spacers and two 1/16-in. spacers costs $25. Buy a set at fastcap.com.
It seems like everything I buy these days has a cord. My desk, car and toolboxes are full of them. Sure, some products say they're cordless, but that just means until the batteries run out and they need to be charged ? with a cord! I've tried a few cord management methods, but Nite Ize Gear Tie Cordable Twist Ties are my favorite so far. They're little rubberized cables that hold their shape when wrapped around cords. They have a stretchy loop on one end that fits over a USB plug, which keeps the tie attached so it doesn't get lost. My cord conundrum has officially been solved. The ties are available online and at home centers. I got a four-pack of 6-in. ties for $8. But other lengths are available.
This smart little tool does a lot?it works as a wire stripper, sheathing cutter, wire bender, measuring gauge and a wire nut wrench. But what it really excels at is stripping sheathing from nonmetallic cable (Romex). The little tooth inside slices through the sheathing as you slide the cable through. The tooth won't damage the individual wires, and because it's inside the tool, it won't slice your fingers like a utility blade could. Buy an Ideal Lil' Ripper Stripper online or at home centers for about $6.
Seems like every tool on the shelf has a built-in LED. Some are pretty handy, others not so much. Here's one that works for me?a lighted nozzle for a wet/dry vac. My car has a whole bunch of dark nooks and crannies. With the Ridgid LED Lighted Car Nozzle,, I can see exactly what I'm doing (and how much of a slob I really am!). This lighted nozzle comes in 2-1/2-in. and 1-7/8-in. sizes. The light will shine for about 13 hours on the two coin-style batteries. The larger one costs $12 at The Home Depot.
A magnetized screwdriver or driver bit makes starting screws a lot easier. It's like having an extra hand to hold the screw. I like to magnetize my screwdriver when I'm working with tiny screws that are nearly impossible to find if I drop them (been there?). You can use a magnetic bit holder in most cases, but not in tight quarters. Instead, you can just magnetize the bit. I've even magnetized tweezers to help pick up tiny parts.
Magnetizers like the one shown above are a cinch to use: Just slide the tool into the hole, rub it back and forth, and it's magnetized. You can also demagnetize. Made by a variety of manufacturers, this handy tool is available for about $5 at home centers and online.
If you've ever dreamed of building your own cabin, you should read Cabin Lessons: A Nail-by-Nail Tale. It's written by our very own Contributing Editor Spike Carlsen. He and his wife, Kat, found a challenging but beautiful piece of land on Lake Superior and built their dream cabin on it together. Cabin Lessons recounts their entertaining and instructive story of building together, with plenty of lessons for a would-be cabin or house builder. It's also a meditation by a kind, modest and genuinely funny guy on building a marriage, a blended family and a life. You'll be grinning. Guaranteed. Get yourself (or someone you love) a copy at bookstores or online. It's from Storey Publishing and it'll run you about $15 at major booksellers.
Here's a simple gadget that makes it easier to entertain your backseat passengers. The GoGear Automotive Universal Tablet Holder straps onto the back of a headrest and uses rubberized elastic cords to keep a firm grip on tablets and phones. Now you can let your kids watch a movie on your iPad or phone without having to worry about them trashing it. At The Home Depot, the GoGear Automotive Universal Tablet Holder is $16.
As a siding contractor, I carried a permanent marker in my pouch at all times. I used it to mark stud locations, keep track of measurements and scribe the cutting lines on the siding. I bought them by the dozen because it only took a week or so for the tips to wear out. Now Sharpie makes a marker for pros that lasts 50 percent longer than before on abrasive surfaces. It also works better on wet and oily surfaces. Get the Sharpie Professional for $2 at The Home Depot.
I have two sets of chargers for all my electronics and always keep one set at work. That way I don't have to climb under my desk to unplug a cord when I want to go mobile. I just discovered this Sugru product, which works great for securing my collection of cords so they don't fall on the floor every time I take home my laptop or tablet. It can also be used to repair frayed cords, or add protective bumpers to a phone or camera.
Sugru feels like Play-Doh when first removed from the package but cures into a silicone rubber that adheres to a variety of surfaces. A three-pack will cost you about $12 at home centers and some discount stores. Find out about more uses for Sugru at sugru.com.
We've had a few of these Winbags kicking around the office for a while now, and even though they're designed as temporary shims for window installers, we've used them for all sorts of other jobs. I brought one home to raise my heavy truck tires a bit, which made it easier to align the lug nuts with the rims while rotating tires. Our set builder used one to shim under a door during installation. Another editor grabbed one to assist in leveling a washing machine. Only one guy in the office thought they were silly. Needless to say, he didn't get one (and I think he secretly regrets it). A Winbag can lift 220 lbs.! They cost $20 apiece online and at Home Depot.
If you spend a lot of time working and playing outdoors in the winter, good gloves are a must. These Kinco insulated work gloves really stand up to the test. Even sled-dog mushers swear by them. The pigskin palms are very tough and don't get stiff after they've been wet. The insulated lining works surprisingly well, and the cloth back lets your hands breathe. They're available with safety cuffs (easier to slide on) or elastic cuffs (keeps snow out better). Buy these gloves on Amazon today. Next, see five more pieces of work wear that will keep you warm in winter.
Electrical tape will always be useful for certain applications, but for a strong, flexible, watertight connection that won't ever unravel, you can't beat liquid tape. We used it a few months ago to fix a bunch of frayed electrical cords in our shop, and so far it's held up great. It's also perfect for protecting wires on motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs, cars, trucks and trailers, or any connection that's subjected to vibration or exposed to the outdoors.
You'll need to apply a few coats of liquid tape to get a good, thick layer (five minutes between coats), and it's a little messy to work with, so plan on a few drips. The product shown here is made by Gardner Bender and is available in black, red, green and white. You'll find it for $7 in the electrical department at home centers.
I have to admit that when it comes to swinging a hammer, I'm a bit out of practice these days. With air nail guns designed for every task, my hammer gets very little use. And since buying a Porter Cable Mini Impact Palm Nailer (model No. PN350), I use my hammer even less.

"Meaningful progress towards an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal has been stalled for years. While I hope that dynamic will change, I am very concerned that President Trump's announcement will further set back efforts to achieve a two-state solution. I support the longstanding U.S. policy that Jerusalem's permanent status needs to be decided by the parties in final peace negotiations.


As both the Ontario and federal governments work towards the implementation of the legalization of cannabis, CAA South Central Ontario (SCO) commissioned a study, conducted by Ipsos, to better understand public perception around the use of marijuana and its influence on driving.
The survey asked 1,000 Ontario drivers about the development of an education strategy and how governments, and law enforcement agencies should go about implementing impaired driving policies.
When asked, 74 per cent of respondents said that public education on cannabis-impaired driving laws, and penalties is important to them.
The findings, featured in the report released today by CAA South Central Ontario, found that a majority of Ontario drivers believe there will be an increase in the frequency of marijuana-impaired driving, and many think that there may be more collisions due to cannabis use once legalized than is currently the case due to alcohol or distracted driving.
"The survey showed that for many, road safety is front of mind when it comes to the pending legalization of marijuana," said Teresa Di Felice, director of government and community relations at CAA SCO.
The results of the survey also show that there is strong support among Ontario drivers to put stricter fines/penalties in place for marijuana-impaired driving.
"As a road safety advocate CAA is focused on working with government officials to provide input on cannabis-legislation, and to create various public relations education campaigns based on research and legislation," added Di Felice.
Attached is an infographic highlighting some of the survey's major findings.

By becoming a Teamster member, you have the backing of one of the largest and most powerful labour unions in the world. Built on a solid tradition of "Teamsters helping Teamsters" you join over 120,000 Canadian working people that have one collective voice.
Our members enjoy competitive wages, health, welfare and pension benefits, and solid representation.
We were originally a Drivers' union. But as the Teamsters grew stronger, those drivers came into contact with thousands of workers in warehouses, bottling facilities, factories, offices, hospitals, government and social services, airlines, casinos, couriers, construction and many different kinds of businesses who also needed a union.
Today, the 1.4 million Teamster members hold just about every kind of job found in North America.
If you, your family, or friends are interested in joining the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, contact an organizer today.
Your Union - Your Voice!
Joining the Teamsters allows you to have a voice in how you are treated at work. As a Teamster Local Union 938 member, you are part of over 10,000 working men and women and their families fighting to improve working conditions at your workplace and around the province of Ontario.
Teamsters Local Union 938, Teamsters Canada and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters are a brotherhood where you will always have the support and strength of your union sisters and brothers. Your union is a democratic organization, where members have the right to elect their leaders, and decide the union's policies.
When we have your support, Teamsters have more say in working conditions. We can negotiate with management to make jobs better and make sure we are all treated fairly. Your contract is negotiated with management by your co-workers and Teamster leaders. Every member has the right to make suggestions about what should be in the contract.
To win a good contract, workers have to show management that they are united in support of their negotiating team. The rights and benefits in the contract are guaranteed. Management cannot legally change them without negotiations with the union and membership.
Everyone wants to have a good working relationship on the job. But problems sometimes come up in every workplace.
A Teamster contract includes a procedure to protect you from being treated unfairly or fired without just cause. It also protects you from discrimination or favouritism in the way work assignments, promotions, layoffs, or other issues are awarded.
Insist on your rights. Let your steward and other coworkers know if you think management is acting unfairly. If a manager asks you questions that might lead to discipline, you have a legal right to have your union steward present during the meeting with management.
Support campaigns to win better contracts. Give your local union representative your ideas and proposals of what to negotiate in your contract. Join in activities to show management that you support your union.
Back other workers' campaigns for fair contracts. When other Teamsters or members of other unions win better contracts, that helps set higher standards that make it easier for your union to negotiate improvements. Other workers may ask you to help them by boycotting a certain product, displaying a bumper sticker, or attending a rally to demonstrate your support. United, we all prosper.
Helping them organize is beneficial because they can win new rights and benefits. But it also benefits current members of the union.
A bigger and stronger union can win better contracts and better contacts for all of us.
Teamster officers and staff lead our organizing efforts - but they can't do it alone. Successful organizing drives often depend on Teamster members who give their time to explain the benefits of being a member to unorganized workers. Get involved, offer to help with union organizing. Ask your local union about current organizing efforts, talk to unorganized workers, friends, and neighbours about the importance of being a union member.
