ASP256 Education, Policy and Society
This module aims to introduce students to the role of education in society and the impacts of recent educational policies on access to educational opportunities, the governance of educational institutions and on wider social well-being. Through the examination of contemporary educational issues from Britain, students will develop a greater appreciation for the role of education in society.
EYXM01 Researching Childhood
This module will examine and critically analyse the advantages and limitations of various research models and research methods relevant to the social sciences. Students will examine the significance of research for professional practice with children and critically evaluate relevant published research studies. The module serves to prepare students for the completion of literature based and empirical projects. It is a requirement that all students on this module have enhanced DBS clearance.
PPS113 Sociology: Contemporary Controversies
This module introduces students to key ideas, debates, controversies and converns animating sociologists from the mid-twentieth century to the present. These centre around the enduring concern with understanding the possibility of social order, social reproduction, and social transformation, we explore some of the key ideas and theories which have made and remade sociology. The module aims to acquaint students with the ways that contemporary sociological thought is attempting to grapple with key issues relevant to society today. We place a number of the most well-known contemporary social theorists in relation to each other and analyse their works by considering the historical contexts in which they emerged. In particular, we aim to approach social theory in terms of key questions posed by the rapidly changing circumstances of the early twenty-first century. In addition, the module explores the extent to which social theorists of the twenty-first century face a number of unprecedented challenges.
PPS203 Investigating Gender
This module will focus on social consciousness and an awareness of gender diversity within a complex society, focusing on exploring the gender spectrum and the global social world. Current and historical theories, debates and critical discourses on gender, identity, masculinity, femininity, and the position of gender as a social construct will be explored, with reference to legal and social issues around gender in a global context.
PPS206 Research and Critical Appraisal in Health and Social Care
This module is designed to enable the student to critique both qualitative and quantitative research articles to enable them to identify the quality of quantitative research evidence. This module builds upon the year one module SHH100 Introduction to Research in Health and Social Care.
PPS301 Doing Social Science 1
This module will build on research understanding attained in years one and two and will further contextualise theoretical and practical knowledge related to social research. It will particularly focus on developing an in-depth understanding of complex ethical aspects involved in researching with human subjects. The module will support students to retrieve, analyse and synthesise extensive background literature to support their selected research question. It will also support students to present and defend their consideration of the ethical aspects of a proposed study in a `real-life¿ situation.
This module will build on research understanding attained in years one and two and will further contextualise theoretical knowledge related to social research, focussing on developing understanding of complex concepts such as the philosophy of knowledge. In particular the students will be guided to develop skills in collecting data either through an anonymous electronic survey or analysing published data. The module provides the student with an opportunity to undertake a small real-life research study and to analyse and present the findings.

4 years later, and 'Pokémon Go' players have spent nearly $4 billion on the wildly popular smartphone game
4 years later, and 'Pokémon Go' players have spent nearly $4 billion on the wildly popular smartphone game
Just over four years ago, "Pokmon Go" launched for smartphones and sparked a worldwide phenomenon.
With tens of millions of players around the world, "Pokmon Go" has been a smash-hit success: Players have spent nearly $4 billion on the game across the last four years, according to Sensor Tower data .
As the years have gone on, player spending has actually increased 2019 was the game's biggest year since launch, with nearly $1 billion spent.
In July 2016, "Pokmon Go" sparked a worldwide event: Millions of people all over the world were suddenly outside in droves, capturing Pokmon.
As the years have gone on, that all-encompassing level of interest has dissipated. But millions of people are still actively playing "Pokmon Go," and those millions of players have continued spending money on the free-to-play smartphone game.
As of this July, "Pokmon Go" players have spent nearly approximately $3.6 billion, according to mobile analytics firm Sensor Tower .
Perhaps more impressive: 2019 was the game's biggest year yet with just shy of $1 billion spent.
Despite costing nothing to play, "Pokmon Go" makes money by charging players for in-game items. Those items can be earned by playing the game, but some players instead choose to purchase them with real money.
It's those optional purchases that drove nearly $4 billion in sales across the last four years players buying Pok balls, and other consumable items.

January 12 - Former Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Willie Stargell is the only player elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Stargell becomes the 17th player to be elected in his first year of eligibility. Pitcher Jim Bunning garners 317 votes (74.2%), and falls four votes shy of the 321 needed for election in his 13th year on the ballot.
March 1 - For the first time since 1936, the Special Veterans Committee does not elect anyone to the Hall of Fame in a year in which an election was held. The last previous year of no Veterans being elected was 1960, when no election was held. Phil Rizzuto, Leo Durocher, Joe Gordon and Gil Hodges are among the candidates passed over. All of since been selected, except Hodges, whose failure of selection remains a travesty.
July 12 - After being maligned by the press as an unworthy All-Star starter, catcher Terry Steinbach hits a solo home run and a sacrifice fly to lead the American League to a 2–1 victory over the National League at Riverfront Stadium. Steinbach is named the MVP.
September 17 - Jeff Reardon becomes the first pitcher to save 40 games in both leagues as the Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1. Reardon, who saved 42 games for the Montréal Expos in 1985, pitches the ninth inning for his 40th save in 47 opportunities.
October 15 - In Game One of the 1988 World Series at Dodger Stadium, the Los Angeles Dodgers trail the Oakland Athletics 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth inning when the Dodgers' Kirk Gibson, badly injured in the NLCS against the New York Mets, hobbles to the plate to pinch-hit against Oakland's lethal closer, Dennis Eckersley. With two outs, a 3-2 count against him, and Mike Davis on second base, Gibson uses his upper body and wrists to launch a backdoor slider from Eckersley into the right-field stands for a 5-4 Los Angeles victory. Gibson's home run re-energized the underdog Dodgers and shattered the confidence of the A's, who lost the series in five games. It inspired the coining of the phrase "walk-off home run," and is widely regarded as one of the greatest moments in baseball history.
October 20 - Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Orel Hershiser ends his dream season with a 5–2 four-hitter over the Oakland Athletics in Game Five of the World Series. The win gives the Dodgers their first World Championship since 1981, and makes them the only team to win more than one World Series in the 1980s. Hershiser is selected the Series MVP.

1954, Alessandria
Teacher >
Vittore Fossati was born in 1954 in Alessandria, where he lives and works.
Beginning his career as photographer in 1977 and recognized as the most direct heir to Luigi Ghirri, Fossati took part in many of the collective projects he staged. Since the 1980s, Fossati has completed various photographic projects commissioned by institutions and public bodies; among them Archivio dello Spazio for the Provincia di Milano (1987–97), Reviving Monuments for Associazione Linea di Confine per la Fotografia Contemporanea (2001), Osserva.Te.R. for the Regione Lombardia (2001–04), Paesaggi dissonanti. Fotografia e opere incongrue for the Istituto per i Beni Artistici Culturali e Naturali della Regione Emilia Romagna (2003), Atlante italiano 003, Sguardi contemporanei. 50 anni di architettura italiana and Workscape for DARC (2003, 2004 and 2006).
Ironic, highly-cultured and a great lover of literature, Fossati created works that are full of theoretical and literary references. Regarding Oviglio (1981), which opened "A perdita d'occhio", the first chapter of Viaggio in Italia, he explained, "It is a homage to the rationalization of vision and the disenchantment that can result from it. As Erwin Panofsky teaches, the representation of space is the symbolic shape of a culture. In the image, which is arranged with a central perspective, the rainbow is generated by a sprinkler system that produces a miniaturization of a celestial event. And the arch of the rainbow does not end in a forest but in the middle of a street, where there is no pot of gold to be found…".
Fossati's photographs can be recounted insofar as they are in fact enigmatic fantasies, with a Borges flavour, often enclosed in the reflective space of a circular vision. The round images of Appunti per una fotografia di paesaggio convey a feeling of infinity, the symbol of which is drawn in the sand by wheel prints, or a sense of other realities, such as the lunar terrain of Frascarolo, fiume Po (1991).

Ex-gaming official: AG opening 'Pandora's Box'
Lawsuit challenges 'non-white' prioritization of COVID-19 drugs
Ex-official calls ordering 2 sports sites to stop taking bets a "Pandora's box"
Robert Gavin
A former state gaming official said Wednesday he believes state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman may have opened a "Pandora's box" by targeting the DraftKings and FanDuel daily fantasy sports sites but not traditional fantasy leagues.
"I'm not sure how well the attorney general has framed that," Bennett Liebman, who served as Gov. Andrew Cuomo's deputy secretary for Gaming and Racing, told the Times Union. "No one knows what the outcome will be here because it's something that rarely has been litigated. People have just sort of had a tendency to let fantasy gambling go at the state level."
On Tuesday, Kathleen McGee, the chief of Schneiderman's Internet Bureau, sent letters to executives of DraftKings and FanDuel ordering them to cease and desist taking business from New York residents. The attorney general contends daily fantasy sports, known as DFS, contests are a form of illegal gambling, which is outlawed by the state constitution. Exceptions to state gambling law have been made — following voter approval — to allow wagering on horse racing, casinos and the lottery.
Schneiderman is not going after traditional fantasy leagues, which operate over a long season, involve a competitive draft and allow players to repeatedly adjust their teams. Traditional fantasy sports receive most of their money from administrative fees and advertising and not gambling, McGee's letter noted.
To avoid being considered a form of gambling, DFS sites will likely need to prove their contests involve skill and not chance.
Leibman said that's where Schneiderman may get more than he bargained for. "Once everybody starts litigating the issue of whether or not a particular wager involves a game of chance or a game of skill, we are opening up Pandora's box in New York state," said Leibman, former executive director of the Government Law Center at Albany Law School. "Once you start doing this, you reach levels that it's hard to say. If I book a bet with a bookmaker on whether or not the football Giants are going to win the Super Bowl, is that more or less skill than making a fantasy wager? If I make a bet on American Pharaoh with a bookmaker, why is that gambling while betting on a seasonal fantasy sports might be considered skill?"
Robert McLaughlin, director of the New York State Lottery from 2006 to 2007, said he believes Schneiderman should be on solid legal ground. He noted three elements to illegal gaming: consideration of money paid, a prize and a chance to win.
"Because of the daily nature of daily fantasy sports, I think there are sufficient questions to allow the attorney general to reach the conclusion that it's purely a game a chance," said McLaughlin, now a partner with the Hodgson Russ law firm.
147 NY dams are 'unsound,' potentially dangerous
Thousands of dams have not been inspected in over 20 years.
"The problem that FanDuel and DraftKings will have when they fight this in court — and I assume they will — the hurdle they have to overcome is a judge will look for an interpretation or opinion of the attorney general as to the laws of the state," McLaughlin said. "And as long as there's a rational basis for the attorney general to make this opinion, and unless he changes it, I think they have a very high burden to overcome."
McLaughlin said he believed Schneiderman was "splitting hairs" by not including the traditional fantasy leagues but could back it up.
FanDuel issued a response to Schneiderman's order online. "Fantasy sports is a game of skill and legal under New York state law," the statement said. "We have operated openly and lawfully in New York for several years. The only thing that changed today is the attorney general's mind." A spokesman for DraftKings could not be reached.

O Captain, my Captain! A Manifest: Reading as a literature student.
Visiting Jillian's Blog this week to disconnect from my 130 units exams this Friday (fingers crossed!) I kind of offended her because she wrongly thought that I was correcting her way of approaching a text, which I wasn't, when responding to How do you approach a classic novel?
Now, I've been studying English literature for 4 years and still have one more to go along with my Masters Degree and my PhD. During all this time, although my teachers have encouraged all of us in the classroom to speak up about the text we were dealing with, they have always made one point: whatever you say must be proved with the text. For example, my Shakespeare teacher said that I could say Hamlet was a rock star as long as I could prove it. Obviously, this is not an easy task since we are asked to be coherent with the times, the style, the manners etc. Exaggerating it all (and joking): one cannot say that Jane Eyre was stupid to go away walking when he could have been driven in a taxi to wherever she wanted to go.
In this approach, our professors have shown us not only their own analysis but those of the most well-known literary authorities and I even googled their names to check their academic articles (love reading them!). Obviously, my professors won't make you fail an exam if you don't agree with them, but, in return, they expect from you a similar way of analysis to theirs. This past year, sitting an exam on Shakespeare, the professor (a wonderful man who we applauded last year at the end of one lesson) asked me to compare two feminine characters and, out of the blue, I thought about a thesis: Darwinism in Shakespeare's works. And he liked it. And I was proud of myself for writing something my mates were probably not writing. It was my literary baby and it got me a A++.
My conclusion is that, thanks to my great professors and their hard work, I feel obliged to take what they give me and add something more, something of my own. But, what is my own? For me, it means more research on the times, the psychological movements and contemporary authors so that I can enrich the text and see more than one layer on it. Many will find this boring or nonsensical but it is what keeps literature in colleges: new thesis and new analysis are coming out every day thanks to wonderful professors and students who devote their life not only to reading but to investigations, further reading, analysis and many discussions. It is their pleasure but also their duty to keep literature alive, always changing and always subjected to new minds that, with the correct tools can go beyond an analysis based on their opinion and feelings. I do not care about what Stanley Wells feels about Shakespeare (as a person, I'm pretty sure he hates him for his cruel behaviour towards women and his neighbours) but he is great at analyzing his texts and that is what the academic community wants and what makes us grow. The "problem" is that this is something I do both for fun and, in a future, for money. It is my passion, I love reading and analyzing texts and I blog about it. I just feel the need to share it all, to exchange opinions and to explore other points of view which I highly value.
Now, many people criticize the institutionalization of analysis. Is it right to follow a set of rules to get your PhD published or should be allowed more "freedom"? As regards paper writing, there is only one golden rule (introduction+core+conclusion = your thesis proved) and many different rules in each publication regarding format. As for the content, one has the freedom to write their thesis using whatever original idea they have. My professor last year told us that there was a man in India who wrote his thesis on The Influence of T.S Eliot in Shakespeare. Not only did he become famous for such an original idea, but he managed to proved the universality of some themes and ideas in a way no one had dared to do before. So, ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing in literature restraining our creativity as long as we are mature enough to organize our ideas coherently so that other readers can follow our new ideas.
In a more personal tone, I will never be grateful enough to my professors for teaching me about psychoanalysis, conductism, deconstruction, literary theory, postmodernist revisions and many more points of view that had enriched me as a person and have helped me to grow up both as a reader and as a woman.
After all, this is the never-ending question of how much your education/job affects your life. I don't see too many doctors blogging about medicine but I see many bloggers writing about what they read. There is a need in those of us who read and blog, to spread the word, to re-interpret and re-write about our books. I enjoy reading books but also articles, highlighting them and, if lucky enough, discuss them with their authors. Because, my pleasure does not only lie on reading I enjoy analysis and discussions. Were I to just enjoy reading, I would quit college and join a book club in my free time. But college and education expect more from me than that: I am supposed to be useful, to help others. In my opinion, there is a line between one's career and one's passions and mine has completely disappeared.
After being called (insulted) "an arrogant" for such a view, I've reflected on my reviews and I completely refuse to let that part of me who studies English literature passionately to give up and end up writing about my feelings. Also, I love recommending postcolonial literature to anyone who hasn't heard about it because I think it's a forgotten but very interesting field.

HomeNew Thinking--with Joe Bartuah -France's Orange snaps up Liberian mobile operator Cellcom
France's Orange snaps up Liberian mobile operator Cellcom
January 12, 2016 New Thinking--with Joe Bartuah - 0
Paris (AFP) – French telecommunications group Orange said Tuesday it had reached an agreement to buy 100 percent of Cellcom, Liberia's number two mobile operator, for an undisclosed amount.
The acquisition "will enable Orange to strengthen its positions in Africa, which is a strategic priority for the Group", it said in a statement.
Orange noted that the Liberian market had room for expansion as only two-thirds of the population own a mobile phone, a lower rate than in other countries in West Africa.
With a considerable number of subscribers already, "Cellcom has excellent potential for growth over the coming years", said Orange.
The company's founders and employees will remain involved in the business to support its performance, Orange said, and it would contribute marketing and technical expertise to further strengthen the network operator. READ MORE OF THIS STORY ON YAHOO NEWS


Warner Bros. De Lane Lea, one of the world's premier sound post-production facilities, has added 24 additional Meyer Sound cinema loudspeakers to its primary mixing stage as part of a recent upgrade to Dolby Atmos.
The newly outfitted Stage 1 is central London's largest stage and also its first to offer this format. It has been booked for the mixing of major feature films since re-opening. Stage 1's proven track record using the Meyer Sound 7.1 cinema system since its installation in 2010 meant that the natural choice for expansion was the selection of additional Meyer Sound components to meet the rigorous requirements of the Dolby Atmos format.
"Dolby Atmos places intensive demands on the monitoring system," notes Chris Burdon, staff re-recording mixer at Warner Bros. De Lane Lea. "Replaying full-range audio across the entire surround array at high levels, while maintaining accuracy, is a new challenge. Fortunately, we've found that the Meyer Sound system provides the necessary audio fidelity and output power to mix confidently in Atmos. The traditional Meyer strong points of smooth frequency response and spatial accuracy really come into their own in helping to create a continuous sound space."
"In our most recent feature film mix, the main setting for the characters needs a wide, surround-heavy soundscape to really immerse the audience," explains Burdon. "The 360-degree sound image was well controlled, allowing the story to be told without distracting the viewer from the narrative."
Burdon notes that Dolby Atmos soundtracks "often involve high sound pressure levels, but the Meyer monitoring helps keep ear fatigue to a minimum."

The government's proposal has drawn sharp criticism from medical associations
Open to the idea of inclusion of nurses and AYUSH doctors as abortion providers, the Rajasthan government will soon start negotiations with stakeholders to arrive at a consensus on the issue.
"If you ask me, I am all for it. Nurses and AYUSH doctors should be allowed to perform abortions,"' Niraj K. Pawan, additional Mission Director, National Health Mission told The Hindu, but added that no decision would be taken without extensive consultations.
The Centre recently announced its proposal to amend the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 to allow nurses and AYUSH (Indian system of medicines) doctors to perform abortions to provide safe abortion. The move has drawn sharp criticism from the medical associations.
"As an administrator, I would say it should be permitted, but with due precaution and diligence. We know for sure that 25 per cent of pregnancies are 'unwanted' which happen for various reasons including failure of contraceptives and teenage pregnancy is also a fact. Women come to us on a daily basis but many a time the case is bad when the woman reaches us," Mr. Pawan explained.
There has to be a mechanism to deal with these issues. Safe abortion facilities are also a must from a family welfare point of view, he said.
In Rajasthan, 80 per cent of all trained doctors offer abortion facilities. Of the estimated 2.22 lakh abortions done annually here, officially between 2012-2014, only 40,000 women were offered abortion facilities, 35 per cent of these in district Hospitals, 18 per cent in the Medical College Hospitals and just 3.2 per cent at the Primary Health Centre. Under-reporting of abortions is a challenge in Rajasthan . Only public health facilities maintain records.Unsafe abortions are also one of the causes of maternal mortality.
Safe technologies
According to Vinoj Manning, Country Director, Ipas India the opposition to the inclusion of Nurses and AYUSH doctors as abortion providers come from an obsolete understanding or deliberate discounting of the huge advances made in safe abortion technologies like vacuum aspiration and medical abortion in the last two decades.
Mr. Manning further said what the Indian government is considering is standard practice in many public health systems of the world. Today nurses and other non-physician cadre provide early abortion services in around 17 countries.

Winter Release! New Self-Storage Educational Products on Tap Provide Holiday Cheers
In the tradition of craft-beer seasonal offerings, the ISS Store has also been brewing up a batch of tasty treats. See which self-storage educational resources are on tap for this year's annual winter release!
Tony Jones | Dec 03, 2021
I don't like to think of myself as a beer snob, but I probably fit the bill. When there's finally a chill in the air, my taste buds start craving a seasonal ale. Once falls hits, I gradually start mixing pumpkin ale, winter-spice ale and a favorite stout into my usual warm-weather rotation of IPAs and hazy IPAs. The craft-beer industry has become a 12-month marketing juggernaut with seasonal releases, but the fall and winter, in particular, always bring a deluge of new products to market.
Here at Inside Self-Storage, the ISS Store master brewers also have been working hard to produce our annual winter releases, which tend to be among our best sellers each year. Here's a quick overview of what's on tap this season:
Self-Storage Maintenance Package
Last week, we released our "Self-Storage Maintenance Package 2022: Monthly Task Calendars and Guide." This is the seventh year we've produced the annual Self-Storage Maintenance Package, which is designed specifically for facility managers. It includes detailed, customizable monthly calendars outlining tasks by day, week and season, with items color-coded based on frequency. Each page also features a handy daily checklist.
The 2022 package also includes a 97-page digital book of expert maintenance advice, with several new articles added this year. New material addresses general site maintenance, roof care, security components, digital assets, site sanitation and more.
Package contents are available through a downloadable zip file, which includes 12 individual calendars in PDF and Microsoft Word formats. The customizable Word templates allow users to accommodate their particular schedule and needs. A no-fuss, PDF calendar is also included for those who wish to print the entire year without having to access individual files.
ISS 2022 Guidebook Series
It's hard to believe this month will mark the 12th release of our annual Guidebook Series, which has steadily increased in popularity since we first introduced the article anthologies in 2011. In fact, we sold out of our initial softcover allotment this year and needed an emergency short print run to hold us over until we could get the 2022 Guidebooks through production. Available in digital and softcover formats, the Facility-Operation and Building/Investing Guidebooks offer critical information and tips on self-storage ownership, facility management, marketing, building, investing, technology, add-on products and services, and so much more.
Next week will see the official release of the 2022 series. As always, the beefy Facility-Operation Guidebook offers a bevy of management and ownership insight via 11 categorical sections ranging from revenue management, sales, marketing and technology to staffing, career development, outsourcing and more. The very popular Building/Investing Guidebook, designed for those who want to establish or expand an operation, covers investing and real estate, finance, planning and development, and design and construction. Both thematic Guidebooks are the largest we've produced. A series package will offer a nice discount vs. buying both books individually.
As I'm sure you're aware, there are supply-chain issues affecting every industry and sector imaginable. Publishing isn't immune. We're working with our printer to secure as quick a delivery date for the printed books as possible, but paper shortages could force us to push back softcover delivery dates to customers later than originally planned. Please keep an eye out for our email promotion, news release and store product pages, which (if necessary) will outline when we expect first shipments to mail. As always, we appreciate your patience with any delays.
In addition to finalizing our final product releases for the year, the ISS team has been busily planning the 2022 ISS World Expo, which will take place April 19-22 in Las Vegas. The show is coming together nicely, and I think you'll be thrilled with the full slate of education seminars and workshops that we'll have on tap, including a few new wrinkles.
With this year's event held in July due to the pandemic, planning for the 2022 expo has been condensed from its usual timeline and wedged in at the same time as working on all the expo education video from the 2021 event, the new products outlined above, new initiatives to roll out in the new year, and our usual, continuous flow of content through the print magazine and online resources.
It's been a heavy workload, so to catch our breaths, find some much needed rest and spend quality time with our loved ones, the team is shutting itself down during the last two weeks of December. As websites do, the ISS Store will remain open. All digital products will continue to be delivered automatically into your account library immediately upon purchase. Of course, this also means there will be delays in responses to customer-service inquiries as well as shipping for any hard-copy product that requires mail delivery. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes and greatly appreciate your understanding and patience.
We look forward to providing more stellar products and service to you in 2022. I sincerely hope all of you have a joyous and enriching holiday season as well as a fantastically prosperous and healthy New Year! Please stay safe and be well. Cheers!

South coast and Þórsmörk- Jeep tour
Seljalandsfoss: It's a chocolate-box of a waterfall and you've most likely seen a picture of it in a book or in a calendar
Ride in Luxury and enjoy the Icelandic nature at it´s best
Two of the most esteemed spots on the South Coast go by the names of Þórsmörk and Seljalandsfoss. These are popular resorts that have visited by Icelandic trekkers and hikers for such a long time that it seems like forever.
Þórsmörk is a wide area that's situated between the rivers Krossá, Markarfljót and Þröngá and it's a measly hour drive up from the ring road. The drive is bumpy and crosses many glacial rivers that flow from glaciers Eyjafjallajökull, Mýradalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull. Þórsmörk is buried in low-set Birchwood trees and mossy hills and it's a popular starting point for touted treks and hikes such as the walk over Fimmvörðuháls and Laugavegur.
On the way up to Þórsmörk a stop will be made at the remarkable waterfall Seljalandsfoss. It's a chocolate-box of a waterfall and you've most likely seen a picture of it in a book or in a calendar.
Practical info:
Minimum:4 passengers
Pick up time:08:30 – 09:00
Duration: 9-10 hours
Includes:Pick up from KEX Hostel and guided super jeep tour.
Choices of roads are condition dependent.

It always fascinates me how we as human beings experience change and contrast. We often see these occurrences as big, scary monsters thrusting us into the unknown. We — especially as police officers — often equate that dark abyss of change with a loss of control.
A sense of control in the world of policing is essential but many outside of this culture struggle to comprehend just how essential. It is our duty, as frontline officers attending to chaos, to control the situation and ensure the safety, security and integrity of our community and investigations. We are required to control our emotions as we attend highly volatile calls. We must be in control of situations that can be life-and-death experiences for others and ourselves. When contrast, as a result of change, occurs and we attempt to control it (as we are inadvertently trained to do), it can be very disconcerting — especially when we are expected to "just accept it" and move along.
That being said, contrast has its benefits: it pushes us to ponder what we truly want. Even if that process entails noticing primarily what we do not want. Imagine how we would experience sound if silence was not in our world. Or how about darkness? Without darkness we might not appreciate light. It is all in the way we choose to look at it. Contrast is an instigator that often compels us to seek solutions. In turn, that leads to learning, information-seeking, networking, support development — all aspects that develop personal growth.
Noticing change and labelling that change with an emotion can be a great way to restore the feeling of control in our thinking experience. As we practice reframing by identifying the emotion through repetition, it becomes second nature. Once the reframing of the experience of contrast takes place, solutions are much more readily available for the mind to not only access, but to also utilize, shape and mould into that "ah ha" moment.
The interesting part aboutthis concept is we deal with contrast and change consistently throughout our workday. Our frontline calls rarely — if ever — summon us because people are getting along or managing well. We are intricately woven into people's lives and continuously challenged to come up with creative solutions so we do not have to return or have our partners return to deal with the same situation over and over again.
This is where intention comes in. Intention is like the spice in our recipe for the baked good of growth. Noticing intention in the process of contrast and change can be very effective in ensuring resistance is not blocking our pathway to the multitude of available solutions, as well as ensuring we are not distracted from our ultimate goal. Plus, approaching situations of change and contrast with intentionality (or at least a noticing of intention) also provides us with a sense of control.
I am attending a challenging domestic call where I have to make an arrest on the count that a minor assault was disclosed. I have made a good connection with the suspect in this domestic assault and I can see he/she has ended up in this place as a result of his/her lack of anger management. Intention is threefold; I want to ensure the safety and security of the victim in this incident, follow procedure and obtain resources for the family so they can be successful moving forward.
The suspect is arrested, placed on the conditions subsequent to the incident and advised that resources of anger management/psychological services will likely be made available for him/her as a result.
The contrast in this situation for the officer is: potentially feeling as though the assault is minor and perhaps just a one-off. The solution might be: reframing that thought into seeking out and providing valuable resources to both the accused and the family for a potentially happier, healthier household. The result: all experience growth.
If we can be open to jumping right in and welcoming the contrast — perhaps seeing it as a director on our life journey and embracing it as an emotional guide — we may find ourselves with more creative solutions and feelings of accomplishment.


Petrus Josephus Hubertus (Pierre) Cuypers (16 May 1827 – 3 March 1921) was a Dutch architect. His name is most frequently associated with the Amsterdam Central Station (1881–1889) and the Rijksmuseum (1876–1885), both in Amsterdam. More representative for his oeuvre, however, are numerous churches, of which he designed more than 100. Moreover, he restored a large number of monuments.
From 1875 he led the restoration of the eastern front of the Mainz Cathedral, which he executed according to his own plans in Romanesque style. In doing so, he created as an opposite pole to the western tower group the high, gothic likely eastern tower helmet, replacing a bell floor and the Moller iron cupola. After a tour in the German Rheinland, he returned to Roermond, where he was appointed a town architect in 1851. In 1852, he opened a work shop where ecclesiastical art was manufactured.
Pierre Cuypers was the uncle of Eduard Cuypers who trained in his practice as a young man. Other relatives who became architect are his grandsons Pierre Cuypers jr. and Theo Taen.
An overview of works of Pierre Cuypers can be found .

Q: Pandas GUI like tool for Web Applications for making charts from Python Data frame without coding I am looking for a GUI tool that can be deployed through a web application to end users. Users should be able to create charts from the given Pandas Data frame as per their requirements using point and click methods without coding.
I came across Pandas-GUI that matches my requirements but I am not sure if it can be served to other users through a web application. Is there any similar packages available for web platforms?
My Application is created using Django Framework and Data frame is generated in the application backend. My users neither have python installed on their computers, nor know how to code.

A: I know this is 2 months old question but anyways. I was also looking for something similar and I found this great library: dtale. This can be used from a jupyter notebook as well as you can run it via flask application like this (Credits to @Micho.bojcevski for this code snippet):
from flask import redirect

from dtale.app import build_app
from dtale.views import startup
import pandas as pd

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = build_app(reaper_on=False)

    @app.route("/create-df")
    def create_df():
        df = pd.DataFrame(dict(a=[1, 2, 3], b=[4, 5, 6]))
        instance = startup(data=df, ignore_duplicate=True)
        return redirect(f"/dtale/main/{instance._data_id}", code=302)

    @app.route("/")
    def hello_world():
        return 'Hi there, load data using create-df'

    app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8080)

The only thing that is missing for me was to add my own functions to the user interface. I wanted to allow users to make changes to the dataframe and apply my custom functions to the dataframe.

Watching Fat Pants lose to Cuse was way too much fun!
Talk about a perfect morning…no barking from the dog, no smog, my girl cooked breakfast w/ plenty of hog, I remembered I was 5-0-1 ATS this weekend (not to mention Teasin' T-Bone was nearly perfect as well), and my fantasy squad includes TO, Randy Moss, & Michael Turner! And even better for the degenerate compadres that jumped on my bandwagon, you didn't have to do the painstaking ATS research and you don't have to send me a thank you card...simply spread the word of Insideplays.com! With that, let's hit-up some Monday Night magic to keep this thing rolling like Kirstie Alley through the buffet line.
Her name is Bree, she's wearing Saints gold, and she's laid-out like a WR...if that's not a sign, I don't know what is!
I know that Saints season has been more inconsistent than Heather Locklear's psyche, but through all the BS, they still lead the league in yards from scrimmage, while only trailing the Packers by 23 ypg in team defense. QB Drew Brees (67%, 18 TD, 11 INT) has been brilliant this season, and while everybody knows the Pack have two solid cover corners (Charles Woodson & Al Harris), they don't have much depth in the secondary and should struggle with the three, four, & five WR-sets they'll see at nausea tonight.
Because of Lance Moore & Jeremy Shockey underneath, Devery Henderson is making big-time plays downfield!
Especially with the unique atmosphere in the Superdome where the Saints have only lost once this season, Sean Payton won't waste anytime getting the pigskin down the field. The AARP duo of Harris & Woodson are overly aggressive and will not have same effectiveness on the speedy surface as they have on the frozen tundra. With lil Lance Moore (52 rec, 5 TD) and the TE combo of Jeremy Shockey & Billy Miller (58 rec.) utilizing Brees accuracy on intermediate routes, things have opened-up on the outside for Henderson's sprinter speed (25.2 avg, 3 TD) and the jump-ball abilities of the 6-4 Colston (16.8 avg).
Just like dat tat, Pierre's been a hidden gem for the Saints!
While Kim Kardashian's boy-toy will probably miss tonight's game, RB Pierre Thomas has surprised plenty with his strength between the tackles (4.6 ypc), while becoming a legitimate threat out of the backfield in the passing game (last 2 games: 9 catches, 90 yards). Throw-in the veteran presence of Deuce McAllister looking to prove he can still play and a Packer run defense ranked near the bottom, and I expect the Saints to move the ball with ease tonight.
The Packers always seem to play better when all the fans are wearing winter jackets!
As for when the Packers have the ball, I can't tell a lie, I fully expect Green Bay to move the ball and put plenty of points on the board. That being said, Rodgers has struggled at times on the road this season and lost his last two away from Lambeau completing only 55% of his passes. With both teams desperate for a win to stay in the playoff race, I expect the Superdome noise to cause Favre's understudy some problems so expect Green Bay to run early and often with Ryan Grant & Brandon Jackson. But like most teams playing in the Superdome and the wildness on Monday Night, don't be surprised to find the Packers throwing more & more as the game wears-on leading to a few costly turnovers.
How will the Packers handle the party atmosphere in New Orleans...I suggest CLICKING HERE to find out!
While she's probably not a Saint, her long legs remind me that Marques Colston is due for a breakout game!
In closing, with both teams sitting in similar situations, looking at two obvious factors made this an easy play for me…#1, the Saints are 4-1 at home, while the Packers are 2-3 on the road. #2, Drew Brees has more experience and is a better signal-caller than Aaron Rodgers. As for how I see the total going (ova/unda 51), since my azz has been so successful teasing and I luv the Association more than a stripper in Hot-Lanta, I'm teasing the ova down to 45 with a team that's lucky enough to play the Sacramento Kings tonight.
I follow two simple rules Homeboys...Stay off the Dunes...and always play at least one teaser a night!
Just like my friends here, Greggy G is putting on the PJs early tonight and having some fun!

Life as a modern working mother is often demanding, tiring, and unforgiving. There's so much to be done—ever-present deadlines at work, taking care of your kids, household chores, and a medley of other small things that all add up, contributing to your stress levels. In addition, mothers may find themselves becoming forgetful, especially right after childbirth. However, you don't have to just grin and bear it, as there are several lifestyle changes you can make to ease your burden.
Working mothers often experience a sense of guilt as they feel bad about not spending every waking moment with their children. However, know that your work is benefitting your family—your children will be able to pursue more opportunities, and you can help put away savings for their future. There are also support groups for working mothers where you can share tips on achieving work-life balance.
It can be pretty liberating to find a good childcare centre or a top-notch nanny. That way, you know that your children are in good hands, and you get regular updates on how they are doing. Also, putting your children in childcare also allows them to pick up social skills, which is essential for development.
One great tip to make mornings easier? Get organised the night before! Pick out outfits for your kids (and yourself!) the night before, and pack everything you need for the next day. That way, you can cut short the time needed to get ready each morning, and you'll feel less frazzled by the time you send your kids to school and get to work.
It's important to set aside some family time to connect with your children and spouse. It doesn't have to take up a huge chunk of your day—why not try spending 15 minutes each Sunday to have a family "meeting" to find out your family's thoughts and concerns? Encourage your children to be proactive in speaking up; this will help prep them for leadership positions when they're older. Also, at these meetings, you can also delegate household chores for the week, so you don't have to bear the brunt of the load. This will also teach your children the importance of teamwork and responsibility.
If you feel like things are getting too much at work, it can be helpful to speak to your employer, an understanding manager, or even HR. Find out if your workplace has flexible arrangements in place—this may allow you to tailor your workflow and spend more time with your family. It's important to be as honest and open as possible, and be prepared to present alternative solutions to show that the arrangement will not affect the quality of your work.
Amidst all that childcare and work-commitments, it can be easy to neglect your spouse. Remember to nurture your relationship, as your spouse will most often be the rock by your side. Why not set up monthly date nights to rejuvenate the relationship? It doesn't always have to mean fancy nights out with expensive dinners—a cute candlelit dinner at home (with the kids away at a babysitters'!) followed by a movie of your choice can do just the trick.
They say you are what you eat. Indeed, an unhealthy diet will make you feel sluggish and tired all the time. Conversely, a nutritious and clean diet can provide you with more energy and prep you for the challenges ahead. We're particularly fond of MCT oil from dr. MCT®. It's a super fuel that boosts metabolism, promotes cognitive improvements, and even provides instant energy for days where you feel overwhelmed. Since it's odourless and unflavoured, it can be easily added to any food or drink—how convenient! Besides that, you should consume plenty of dark leafy vegetables, as a lack of iron is often linked to lethargy.


You worked so hard for this day; for the fear; for the anxiety and this sheer sense of bewilderment. Very soon all these feelings; all these emotions will be kicked into touch by groups of wide-eyed kids calling you their teacher. Only then will you truly 'get' the fact that you're not in Kansas anymore; that you have well and truly landed (crash-landed!) in Oz: the wonderfully crazed and mixed-up world of teaching. A world I miss every day of my life.
But this isn't another tale of woe; nor is it a post designed to make you feel worse or more terrified than you already do - like that's possible!? Maybe I'm too late to the party? I'm pretty sure that - by now - you'll have taken on as much generic advice as your brain can take. Hopefully though, you'll have already latched on to the couple of items that made your ears twitch, got you sitting-up a little straighter or even managed to shake you from that constant state of panic you find yourself in. Much better to hold tightly to those bits of advice that floated-your-boat; than flap around clutching randomly and trying to retain the rest. You see there's only so much generic/handbook advice you can take. Here, you'll find are a few less conventional bits of advice. Please glue-stick yourself to a few of them. So let's strip this teaching lark naked and expose the rude bits that few are happy - or prepared - to share.
If I could've given my NQT-self one piece of advice fourteen years ago then seeing the bigger picture would've been it - it's just so hard. You want to make an impression; to fit in; to look like you're a natural and take everything in your stride. But that pressure you throw on yourself is more dangerous and hard-hitting than anything the job can throw at you. Being afraid to ask questions; bottling up worries about your workload and how you manage it; or taking on too much - these are the perfect fuel for the 40% of NQTs who leave the profession within five years of taking their first class. And teaching is - no matter what you're told - a job. You and your family come first; and you should strive to become the best teacher that your family-life allows you to be. Teaching with an eye on the bigger picture will help you keep anxiety down to a more manageable level and face the challenges of the job with your wellbeing as your priority.
In my early career I made the conscious decision to resist the lure of promotion and senior leadership. I looked upon it in the same way a chef might work from pot-washer to different sections in a restaurant, or a footballer learning their trade in the lower leagues. All I wanted to do was teach; to work and learn alongside the kids and 'perfect' my craft. Advice came from all angles: move schools frequently, fast-track promotion paths, don't stand still (chance'd be a fine thing!) and all the time I sensed a surprise – almost disappointment - by my perceived lack of 'ambition'. But what's more ambitious than wanting to be the best teacher in the world?
aside, this is a game-changer. Think very carefully about showing ambition by taking on multiple roles during your first year of teaching (if you've already been signed up then don't panic – discuss your concerns with your line-manager). In my experience, any additional role in school will dilute the quality of your classroom practice. It's basic physics: the more things you try to juggle, the more difficult juggling becomes. It took me around eight years to make the switch to senior leadership. Ambition is subjective. I loved my first school. So I never left.
The only non-negotiable in my classroom was my teaching philosophy. You come into our learning environment and - to quote 90s RnB sensation, Montell Jordan - 'This is how we do it' and if you don't like it then don't feel you have to hang around. But it isn't that simple is it? The endless lists of dos and don'ts; the observation hitlists; the hoops we have to jump through to prove to others that we're awesome. It took a school improvement consultant (and former Ofsted inspector) to help me see the light. Don't go getting yourself in trouble, but establish who you are in the classroom; don't try to be something you're not – be the very best version of YOU. Don't be like him or do it like her. Find your 'knack'; your unique selling point; establish what matters to you; and never let it go.
What if I asked you to plan your meals for the next six weeks? The potential banana skins of such a plan terrify me (perspective…I know!). If you're anything like me, you'll be having a takeaway before the end of week one. I take the same view over planning. 'Each to their own' is a saying tailor-made for teaching, and I won't ever criticise other approaches to the job you will grow to love – unless they're totally ridiculous! But how far ahead should a teacher plan? There's the long-haul approach: a term or half-term. This appears to be quite a favourable method of planning. While it satisfies a craving for organisation and the need to feel prepared, many teachers get so far ahead that they fail to see what's staring them in the face - what their pupils actually need. Today. Right now. In my opinion, planning should be responsive and you can only react if you're brave enough to let go of a little control. Once you're happy, try planning a few days ahead; never more than a week. Your pupils will reap the rewards; you'll learn more about your role as a facilitator of learning; assessment for learning will go through the roof and – most importantly – you'll not waste time typing up lessons that never make it off the page. Who needs to know what they're having for dinner in five weeks anyway?
#5 The most important person in your classroom is YOU!
It's the fit2teach motto and the most important piece of advice you're likely to be given other than to lock away your glue-sticks. As a kid I spent my Summer holidays making dens, having water fights, skimming stones and getting into trouble. As an adult I spend my Summer holidays making dens, having water fights, skimming stones and getting into trouble. Social media cruelly alerts us to all the school-work we 'should' be doing during our time away from the classroom. For many, the pull of school is too strong; a necessary sacrifice some teachers have to make. Again: each to their own. But – please – proceed with caution. If you do not look after yourself; if you take your classroom home with you too often, you'll get squashed by it. Ignore the talk of an 'expectancy' or 'having no choice'. There's always another way and even during your darkest days it's vital for you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. You can have a healthy work-life balance and be an amazing teacher. It won't happen this week; not this term and - most probably - not this year. But it's around the corner – I promise. And we have the data to show it can be done; when you're ready. Start small with the advice in #6; but at least - for this year - make the right choice and recharge your batteries during those holiday periods. Sleep.
#6 Don't be your own worst enemy!
When we analysed last term's data submitted by our fit2teach users, we found a correlation between this most simple of things; and an improved work-life balance. We hear so many complaints from teachers struggling to keep on top of their marking/grading. Remember though that you're the boss. If you plan to produce work that needs marking then said work needs marking. If pupils are producing work in Maths and English that requires marking/grading, then assess your history outcomes through drama, debate or art. Be cute - or mindful - about the volume of 'work' your pupils are producing; and consider whether you could match - or even enrich - learning through non-written outcomes. Rarely would I ever plan for written outcomes in maths, English and foundation subjects in a single day. That's a midnight marking session waiting to happen right there. It won't do you any good and the poor kid that gets your 23:55 comment won't appreciate it either.
I lost count of the number of times the exceptional Maureen in our school office bailed me out of a fix. She's since retired; and I don't think the school will ever be the same. She's a classic example of a vital member of the wider school-family who knit the whole place together. I once fell out with a caretaker and spent a year rummaging around in a dark stockroom (don't ask!) and my no-questions-asked relationship with our school cleaners was often fuelled by end of term gifts (often – but not exclusively – alcoholic). These wonderful people didn't need me to enhance their working life; but I desperately need them – every day of the school year. I relied upon them – you will too – so look after them; have their back; and with a bit of luck you'll be fine.
Simply put, I was once the most selfish teacher to ever walk the Earth. I wasn't a bad person but if I had an idea, I'd hoard and protect it like my life depended on it. How ironic that I'm now a part of fit2teach; helping teachers get their mojo back; sharing experiences, time and resources with people I can't even see. And that's only possible because of social-media. The boom in teacher-social-media is something to be celebrated not shunned or taken for granted. For the first time in years, you have access to free professional development 24 hours a day. Whether in our Facebook fit2teach Staffroom or the hundreds of other groups available to join; teachers have created a global community to inspire and support you on your way to becoming whoever or whatever you want to be. You will share so much in your first year of teaching; you'll take far more than you give but quickly learn how crucial an open, honest, sharing approach is for your success and sanity. In time you'll get over the 'my class' mind-set and open the hug out to everyone. When you do, your success and confidence will start to shine far beyond the walls of your own classroom.
From 'Pick and choose your battles!' to 'Can you really get away with those skinny-fit trousers?'; so many words of wisdom have stuck in my mind. I remember one piece of advice for all the wrong reasons – because it really annoyed me: 'You're not their friend.' They meant my pupils obviously. To this day, I still don't get the fuss or concern. I interpreted the message as needing to show discipline and be professional – which is an actual thing I got taught during my teaching degree. I didn't need telling not to rock up at their birthday parties. Maybe they mis-placed the high-5s for an act of genuine friendship? If those kids came bouncing to school; talked endlessly at home about their teacher; about their learning and their day; then whatever relationship I, they or my colleagues thought we had must have had an impact. That solitary piece of 'advice' inadvertently forged my teaching philosophy. I'm a bit stubborn so – rightly or wrongly – I played on it. It gave me my knack and made me Mr B. I made it my mission to learn as much about my pupils as humanly possibly (in a non-creepy kind of way). Their likes and dislikes, hopes and fears; their achilles heel and hidden talents. Football teams, dance-steps, computer games and the differences between a trot and a canter. I went beyond the idea of 'knowing your kids' by embracing my inner-child and allowing my pupils to see me as Mr B: their teacher and a big-kid. Like one of them. Not a friend. But one of them. I could relate; they could relate. And when kids can relate to something; to someone; then they learn and thrive. I went beyond knowing the child as a learner, towards knowing the child as a child. That knowledge of the children in your care will give you the edge over any teaching style, any resources and any level of experience. Knowledge is power and my six-year-old son is – by the way – my best friend.
Teaching is bloody hard. It's brilliant. But - wow - it's hard. In a few years time, you'll look back on your NQT year - maybe your first few years - and laugh. You will. You'll cringe at the things you did and at the decisions you made. You'll remember the tears you cried and those early years of firsts. First hot-drink in your classroom; first kid lined up outside. Your first register/roll-call; first photocopier nightmare and your first lesson. Your first assembly; your first parents' evening; your first shocking observation lesson and your first dodgy PE kit. And you'll smile - especially about the things that went wrong. You see, succeeding in teaching is more about what you don't do than what you do. Being a successful teacher - like any successful person or pupil - requires failure. Succeeding in teaching is about failure after failure and about how you deal with it. It's about celebrating the highs and running with the lows. Once you embrace this you become a little less fearful; a little less anxious. You can start pushing yourself out of your comfort zone; start taking more risks; because getting it wrong becomes as much of a positive as getting it right. And those children in your care will see this; and they'll love you - even more - for it.
So off you go. But never by yourself. Seek advice and lots of it. Eat well; drink plenty; rest when exhausted and (please!) take your 'Me-Time' - you'll certainly earn it. Keep an eye out for the new fit2teach App coming out in a few weeks and - should you need us - just give us a shout. Remember there are 25,000 teachers feeling just like you right now - and that's just in the UK. Not a single one will be perfect, nail the best teaching style or become the best teacher - because neither of those things exist.
Please stick around. Consider joining the staffroom and 'Liking' our FB page – even registering to see what the fuss is about. And – most importantly - good luck.

Broncos Poised for Another Big Season, New HC Takes Over
The Boise State Broncos enter the season with lofty expectations once again. They have been the class of the MWC for the past several years and are again primed for a big season. The Broncos return a majority of last year's starters on a team that went 5-2 last season.They also have a new head coach in Andy Avalos who is known for a defensive-minded approach.
Hank Bachmeier has officially been named the starting QB. The junior QB tallied 1150 passing yards accompanied by a 6:2 TD to INT ratio last season. UCF will give up yards in the air so look for Bachmeier to attempt several passes. The Broncos running game is solid led by George Holani. The sophomore RB was limited to 19 carries last year due to injury but rushed for over 1000 yards in 2019. Watch for Khalil Shakir. The senior WR is one of the best in the MWC and should be targeted heavily after 719 receiving yards in 2020.
Knights Star QB Dillon Gabriel Returns to Lead Stacked Offense
The UCF Knights are considered one of the best teams in the AAC this season. They have a new head coach in former Auburn HC Gus Malzahn who inherits a team featuring plenty of key pieces from 2020. UCF features one of the best QB's in the FBS in Dillon Gabriel. The junior QB ranked fifth in the FBS with a remarkable 3570 passing yards complemented by a dazzling 32:4 TD to INT ratio in 2020. The rushing offense likely won't be quite as productive in 2020 after ranking 25th in rushing yards last year. They lost their top two RB's but return Bentavious Thompson who averaged a stellar 5.2 yards per attempt for 382 yards last season.
The Knights 2020 receiving leader Marlon Williams (1039 receiving yards) has graduated leaving way for Jaylon Robinson to shine. The junior WR accumulated 979 receiving yards in 2020 and should eclipse the 1000 yards mark.
The UCF defense is a bit of a question mark and is a team that relies on offense. They struggled at times in 2020, especially against the pass with a unit that ranked 117th in passing yards allowed. Last year's top DB and tackling leader Richie Grant is now in the NFL however senior Derek Gaineous has the experience and is in for a big season.
UCF ranked fifth in the FBS with 44.3 points per game last year. The defense allowed an average of 31.4 points, placing them 78th overall.

Thrown ignominiously out of its prize Congo colony, scorned and abused by the world for its policies, and facing money troubles after a decade of opulence. Belgium no longer could contain its frustration. Last week half a million normally quiescent Belgians erupted from their homes, marched in grim phalanxes through the major cities.

Brussels was like a city under siege.


Oil companies are reaping massive profits and skirting taxes (with the help of fossil-fuel-friendly politicians) while the U.S. is in a debt crisis. Is that fair?
While the general public suffers through very difficult economic times and the threat of government shutdowns, the oil industry is reaping good profits, monumental profits. In the past decade, as the US has lost a tremendous number of jobs, the 5 biggest oil companies have brought in nearly $5 trillion in profits. With gas prices rising, Exxon and others have been bringing in more and more.
Well, on the one hand, you might just say: "Good for them, they've done well at exploiting the oil in our earth and satisfying a national addiction and have succeeded in a capitalistic world." But there's one rather important thing I haven't mention yet…. These oil companies are reaping hefty rewards on the backs of the American people. They enjoy huge tax breaks while U.S. infrastructure is crumbling and Americans are out of jobs.
Of course, the public, getting word of this, has been pretty unsupportive. Why should companies making billions, or even trillions, not have to pay taxes? It's a good question. While every poll I've seen on the matter has shown that the public doesn't support these tax loopholes, though, Republicans in Congress (and even a few Democrats) have done everything they could to keep these loopholes in place… so, they still are.
As you begin work to set up the bipartisan Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction that will recommend further federal savings under the Budget Control Act of 2011, we are writing on behalf of our millions of members to emphasize that any deficit deal must represent a balanced approach that focuses both on cutting wasteful subsidies that harm the public interest and raising significant revenues. Any other approach is quite simply a decision to dismember vital programs that keep our air clean, our water safe to drink, and preserve our natural heritage.
One area where Congress should support reforms that would benefit the American people is by reducing environmentally destructive and economically distorting subsidies. These unnecessary subsidies, which are found both in spending programs and the tax code, harm public health and our natural resources while doling out hard-earned taxpayer dollars to mature industries that need no government assistance. There is no rationale for continuing these subsidies at a time when middle- and lower-income Americans are being asked to make sacrifices and when all federal spending is being subjected to deep cuts.
Well said. The whole letter is worth a read, and it does focus in on the oil and gas industry a bit, which it points out are receiving tax breaks likely to cost the American public $100 billion over the next ten years (if not cut).
It's time these companies pay their fair share of the taxes and help the U.S. get back on its feet. I hope Congress will read this important letter and act appropriately.
