Early Voting Throughout New York City to Become Much More Widely Available Thanks to New Legislation Introduced by Council Member Ben Kallos
New York, NY – Newly proposed legislation in the City Council would facilitate access to early voting for New Yorkers. The proposed bill would work by significantly expanding early voting locations and times throughout the five boroughs, giving residents more physical opportunities to show up and cast their ballots early. The legislation proposed by Council Member Ben Kallos follows an unprecedented increase in early voting ahead of Election Day on November 3, 2020, which led to widespread reports of voters experiencing hours-long wait times at many of the City's eighty-eight early voting locations.
In 2021 New York City will hold elections for Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, Borough Presidents and District Attorneys. This legislation, if passed and implemented in time, would make it so that this next election can run smoother and more efficiently for New Yorkers who just simply want to vote early.
"An astonishing, yet not totally surprising, 839,875 votes had been cast in the first 7 days of early voting in 2020. New York City was caught unprepared for such large turnout and we cannot let that happen again if we want people to be engaged, involved and excited to vote. We can fully expect for the next election cycles to have high turnout. Let's do the smart thing, save people time and do something about it now," said Council Member Ben Kallos.
Int. 2205-2021 would have the City's Board of Elections mandate at least two polling sites in the forthcoming primary and general elections in June 2021 and November 2021, rising to four polling sites per council district by 2023 with all reasonable efforts to establish eight designated polling locations per council district. The legislation also engages in the process to identify the best community sites to serve local voters. The bill would also open the polls earlier, from, at minimum, eight o'clock in the morning until eight o'clock in the evening from Monday through Friday, and from nine o'clock in the morning until five o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday. This would allow for a total of 92 hours of early voting which is 32 hours more than the legal minimum (60), 28 hours more than the existing scheduled hours (64), and 19 hours more than the expanded hours (73) approved by the BOE.
In 2014, Council Member Kallos had proposed Introduction 593 early voting for municipal elections that would have guaranteed at least one early voting site per Council District for a total of 51 with 12 hours on each weekday and 8 hours on each weekend day. This legislation will be updated to reflect early voting laws passed since its initial introduction, would mandate at least 8 early voting sites per district, and add 4 hours per weekday and 3 hours per weekend day for 32 additional hours of voting and total of 92 hours to vote early.
Int. No.[LS 16615]
To amend the New York city charter, in relation to early voting
Section 1. Chapter 46 of the New York city charter is amended by adding a new section 1057-h to read as follows:
§ 1057-h. Early voting.
a. For the purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings:
Board of elections. The term "board of elections" means the board of elections in the city of New York.
Covered election. The term "covered election" means any election administered by the board of elections for which early voting is authorized pursuant to subdivision 1 of section 8-600 of the election law.
Early voting. The term "early voting" means voting in the manner authorized by title VI of article eight of the election law.
Early voting period. The term "early voting period" means the period during which early voting is permitted pursuant to subdivision 1 of section 8-600 of the election law.
b. 1. Throughout the early voting period, polling places in the city of New York shall be open for early voting from:
(a) No later than eight o'clock in the morning until no earlier than eight o'clock in the evening on each week day; and
(c) No later than nine o'clock in the morning until no earlier than five o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday.
2. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the board of elections from establishing a greater number of hours for voting during the early voting period beyond the number of hours required by this subdivision.
c. 1. For each covered election taking place prior to January 1, 2023, the board of elections shall designate no fewer than two polling places for early voting in each council district.
2. For each covered election taking place on or after January 1, 2023, the board of elections shall designate no fewer than four polling places for early voting in each council district.
3. The board of elections shall use reasonable efforts, which shall include, but need not be limited to, collaborating with council members and community boards, to designate additional polling places for early voting beyond the minimum numbers required by paragraphs one and two; provided, however, that the board of elections shall not be required to designate more than eight early voting polling places in any council district.
d. 1. Paragraph (c) of subdivision two of section 8-600 of the election law shall not apply to any primary or special election in the city of New York.
2. To the extent any other provision of title VI of article eight of the election law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder is inconsistent with a provision of this section, the provision of this section shall apply.
§ 2. This local law takes effect immediately

For a start all the teams have a top coach, well known to the media, who has a vision of success and a strong drive to achieve it. They also have a lot of others involved and focused on their mission, whose role it is to ensure the best chances of achieving their goals.
It's the role of the coach to pick the team and make sure that all key positions are covered. It's also important to ensure all support team members are the best to be found since all of them together will be responsible for getting to the World Cup Final. Each person will have an important part to fulfil and the winners playing in the final, will be the side with the strongest team, and will be enthusiastically lauded by their fans.
Benny Landa has certainly put together his winning team. As I recently hosted our fans – some of our European customers in Rehovot – the most often repeated comment from them was about the quality of the people they met during their visits.
For a start Benny has got the very top people in his development team and has given them the best equipment to work with. The result of this combination is no coincidence – the Landa team stunned our visitors with our latest print samples and substrates.
We started our visit in the Nanography Lab where the story of the Nanography® process begins. In this lab, the team investigates the performance of all of the printing-related components of Nanography®. This includes the ink, the ink ejectors, the transfer blanket and the image screening. They also investigate the Nanographic Printing® process in a controlled environment and the lessons that they learn are applied to the alpha versions of the Nanographic Printing® presses currently under testing, and to the beta versions currently under construction.
All members of the team were happy to talk to our visitors about their experience and qualifications, as well as their particular role in bringing Nanographic Printing® technology to market. Like the football fans in Brazil, our customers had plenty to cheer about. The fact they could see the B1 (41 in. /1,050 mm) Landa S10 press taking shape in front of them and printing full sized B1 (41 in. /1,050 mm) sheets was a big plus to them. The quality of the engineering was another source of wonder and the software development team also got a lot of mentions when we came to review the time spent in Rehovot.
There will be a lot of top teams competing in Brazil in June, but Benny Landa's team is focused on a longer timescale and the first goal will be the beta installations of the Landa S10 press at our customers in Israel, Germany, UK and USA.
The customers who were with me in Rehovot are enthusiastic supporters and are cheering our progress while they wait to become winners with their own Landa Nanographic Printing® Press.

When a gringo ex-pat foolishly steps in to defend an Indian woman from an obsessed drug trafficker, he finds a still living world of ancient myths. With the drug trafficker's henchmen on their trail, they flee to her village in the mountains where an old tradition is about to be celebrated with ritual combat. When the protection of villagers and friends isn't enough, violence saves their lives, fulfilling the ancient myths, and preserving the old ways of the village.

Commonwealth ChalleNGe Class 47 graduates 116 cadets
The Virginia Commonwealth ChalleNGe Youth Academy graduates 116 cadets from Class 47 in a ceremony held Aug. 26, 2017, at Ocean Lakes High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Amanda H. Johnson)
NEWS | Aug. 28, 2017
By Staff Sgt. Amanda Johnson | Virginia National Guard Public Affairs Office
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. –
The Virginia Commonwealth ChalleNGe Youth Academy graduated 116 cadets from Class 47 in a ceremony held Aug. 26, 2017, at Ocean Lakes High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Maj . Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia; Brig. Gen. Paul F. Griffin, Director of the Joint Staff of the Virginia National Guard; and retired Navy Capt. Mark Chicoine, Director of the Virginia Commonwealth ChalleNGe Youth Academy, congratulated the cadets on finishing the five-and-a-half month residential portion of the program.
The Commonwealth ChalleNGe Program works with youth between the ages of 16 to 18 to focus and make positive improvements during the residential phase. The program's mission is to intervene in the life of at-risk youth by providing the values, skills, education and self-discipline needed to produce responsible, productive citizens, and to do so in a highly disciplined atmosphere.
"As a career law enforcement officer and elected official, I travel all over the Commonwealth. I always get the question of what does our future look like, and what are we going to do about the problems we face in our future," said guest speaker Rocky Holcomb, a captain in the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office and elected delegate. "Well, the answer is clear here this morning, folks, right here's our future, look at Class 47."
ChalleNGe is 17-and-a-half-month program that is structured in a military-style environment designed to promote academics, attention to detail, time management, and leadership, while promoting self-esteem, confidence and pride.
Each Commonwealth ChalleNGe class accepts up to 180 youth per session. Cadets spend five-and-a-half months in residence at the Commonwealth ChalleNGe academy. After cadets complete the residential phase of training, they begin the 12 month post-residential phase and work with their mentors and career counselors to ensure they are placed in either employment, continued education or enter military service.
"You have been given the gift of how to succeed in life," said Holcomb, describing the various obstacles the youth overcame during the course. "More importantly, you have been given the incredible opportunity to re-invent yourself by leaving your past behind and giving yourself a fresh start."
The cadets, as a whole have completed over 18,000 hours of community service with an estimated market value of $130,000 explained retired Army Sgt. Maj. Robert Laury, program coordinator for the ChalleNGe academy. The youth participated in community service with public area clean up, maintained Camp Pendleton, assisted the efforts of the Virginia Beach Convention Center, Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation and voter registration.
"I can tell you without any reservations, we have the best there is on Camp Pendleton because of our cadets," said Laury.

Over the years I have encountered many animal teachers and healers—wild and domestic. At their request I build bridges reconnecting the people and the animals through sessions, storytelling, photos, classes and events.
I'm Rose De Dan, Wild Reiki and Shamanic Healing - animal communicator, Reiki Master Teacher, shamanic energy healer, and author. My classes, sessions and ceremonial work are inspired by wild and domestic animals who have issued a call to action for personal and global healing.
In practice and in partnership with my companion animals, I offer private sessions for animals, and teach teleclasses and workshops in Reiki and shamanism worldwide from Seattle, Washington.
My book, Tails of a Healer: Animals, Reiki and Shamanism, features heartwarming stories about animals and their role in my evolution as an energy worker and shamanic healer.

Tesla Stock Has Worst Year Ever, Is Down Almost 70 Percent YTD
Tesla stock (TSLA) has seen a dramatic drop this year, losing almost 70 percent through December 22 year to date.
This means TSLA is on pace for a record annual decline that will see it erase about $626 billion of shareholder value, according to Bloomberg. A year ago, Tesla shares reached a record high, pushing the company's valuation to more than $1 trillion for the first time.
Now investors are struggling to see a bottom, though, with Tesla shares closing at $125.35 on December 22, compared to an all-time high of $409.97 on November 5, 2021—technically $1,229.91 as Tesla performed a 3-for-1 stock split since.
December 2022 is on track to become the worst month ever for Tesla stock, which has tumbled 36 percent so far this month. By comparison, Tesla's shares dropped 22 percent in March 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic hit, sending financial markets into a slide.
As competition from established major automakers is intensifying, Tesla's dominant market share is threatened, and the stock price reflects that to an extent.
Bloomberg quotes analysts as saying that the EV startup's highly anticipated driving software and its battery technology are falling short of their timelines, while the futuristic design of the Cybertruck can make it a tough sell as a mainstream vehicle.
While tech shares have suffered broadly as the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates to curb inflation, sparking fears of a possible recession, Tesla shares have been among the weakest amid fears that demand for expensive EVs will drop.
To make matters worse, Elon Musk's $44 billion purchase of Twitter fueled concern that he was reducing its focus on Tesla. The fact he sold Tesla shares worth almost $40 billion to help finance the deal clearly didn't help either.
Several days ago, Musk confirmed he would step down as CEO of Twitter, but didn't provide a timeline. His comments did not lead to a major rally in Tesla's shares.
Despite the stock's massive drop from a year ago, Tesla remains the most valuable automaker in the world, with a market cap of almost $396 billion on December 22. That's far bigger than any other major global carmaker, with Toyota—the second-biggest—valued at about half that.

Description This image is a watercolor painting of an American house located on the Stone-Young Plantation (also known as the Stone-Young-Baggett House) in Montgomery, Alabama done by Brendon A. Bond sometime between 1940 and 1942. The mansion was built in 1840. The painting shows the front exterior of the house with its brick walls, doors, windows, shutters, two-story columned porch, steps, iron balcony, flat roof and chimneys surrounded by trees and landscaping. There are a women and a man on the porch and and a woman at the base of the steps, all in period dress. The house is placed within framing art and text showing and describing its architectural features including the iron balcony railing, the roof and the molding under it, side and top views of a column, a floor plan, a side view of the house, a map of the plantation, a map of the southeastern United States showing its location, and carved woodwork. In the lower right corner, there is a handwritten inscription "1st Mention" and the artist's information block which reads: "Brendon A. Bond, Ala. Polytech. Inst., Archaeology no. II, An American House." The painting is in fair condition with small pieces missing from the edges and is encapsulated.

KABK
Published on July 9th 2018
Each year the KABK makes provision for a selected group of its tutors and staff to work on a self-defined research project in the context of a Research Group. The nature of these projects varies, from research driven by and through one's own artistic or design practice to historical or theoretical research; from material or technological research to academic research in preparation for a PhD trajectory. Since 2018 the Research Group has been run under the Lectorate Design and chaired by Alice Twemlow. In monthly meetings, we discuss participants' progress and questions related to methods for research and analysis, theoretical concepts and modes of dissemination. The year concludes with a symposium where participating tutors share the outcomes of their research projects with the KABK community of colleagues and students as well as invited respondents.
The Research Group 2018 was chaired by Alice Twemlow, head of Design Lectorate.
Participants Research Group 2018
Overview of the participants and their research projects:
Rachel Bacon
tutor, BA Fine Arts
EXPLORE, SAMPLE, DIG, DEPLETE AND REPEAT: UNDERMINING VALUE
In this project, Bacon examines the relationship between the mark-making activity of drawing and the extractive one of mining, and how an understanding of this relationship might lead to an artistic practice capable of addressing ecological crisis, or what Timothy Morton calls a 'traumatic loss of co-ordinates'.
Graphite, as an allotrope of coal and diamonds, is pure carbon and suggests a link between mining and drawing. The mine is not just a literal site of excavation (and historically a causal agent of industrial capitalism), but also a metaphor for a space of control.

Bacon's research process involves the extensive reading of current thinkers on environment and visual culture, including TJ Demos and Timothy Morton, an investigation of the history and imagery associated with extraction industries and field visits to mining areas in central Europe.
This has led Bacon to conceptualize her drawing practice as a form of witnessing. In understanding drawing as a form of touch — Eva Hayward's so-called 'haptic visual' — vision and distance are collapsed. Seen from this perspective, drawing becomes a form of seeing or witnessing; not art about the 'environment', but art made in the presence of the scary thing.

Eric Kluitenberg
tutor, BA ArtScience, MA ArtScience, and BA Interactive Media Design
REDESIGNING AFFECT SPACE
In his earlier work, Kluitenberg proposed a spatial model, known as Affect Space, as a way to understand the affective intensities generated during the public gatherings and urban spectacles that have been taking place over the past few years in cities around the world — from Zuccotti Park in NYC to Tahrir Square in Cairo, and from Gezi Park in Istanbul to the streets of Hong Kong.

With their unique intermingling of (mobile and wireless) technology, intense online (mediated) and off-line (embodied) exchanges, in the context of urban public spaces, these gatherings produce a new dynamic that is highly unpredictable. While unpredictable, this dynamic is in no way arbitrary and, furthermore, it is highly susceptible to manipulation.

In his more recent collaborative research, Kluitenberg and his colleagues in the 'reDesigning Affect Space' project are exploring what types of design agendas might be used to counter such manipulation and to distribute agency (the ability to act effectively) more equitably across the different actors operating in this space–citizens, corporations, public agencies, 'creatives', civic organisations and local, national, and transnational authorities.
Niels Schrader
co-head, BA Graphic Design and MA Non Linear Narrative
DIGITAL POLLUTION
The technology sector labels its products using metaphors that suggest their association with the natural world and the qualities of cleanliness and transparency, thus papering over, or deflecting attention from, the damaging effects of technology on our living environment. Probably the most familiar of these deceptions is the projected image of a fluffy, vaporous 'cloud' used to mis-represent the massively resource-intensive and earthbound qualities of digital data storage. In this project, Schrader reflects on the impacts and implications of what he terms 'digital pollution'. Using online tools such as Google Earth and published online media in combination with site immersion and visual analysis, the project seeks to understand more fully what happens when the resources needed to create, share and store our daily output of 2,5 quintillion bytes of so-called 'virtual' data encroach on the physical environment.

Rosa te Velde
tutor, Research & Discourse, BA Interior Architecture & Furniture Design
MAKING DESIGN WEIRD AGAIN:
Advancements in the study of the peculiarities of the early 21st century phenomenon of design history and its discontents
In this project, te Velde explores how fiction can be used as a strategy and research method to disrupt design history canons in order to expose issues of eurocentricity in the knowledge production of design history and to create space for critique. Through the figure of a fictional anthropologist from the future, te Velde aims to create distance from the present moment in order to study and reveal the ways in which design history has been, and continues to be, shaped by modernity and coloniality.
Through these measures, te Velde seeks to challenge a range of design history tropes such as the linear timeline, ideas of western development and progress as well as notions of humanity, issues of individual authorship, appropriation and the dominance of the visual. Can we enforce a normalisation of a reality that is not yet here?
Donald Weber
tutor, BA Photography and MA Photography & Society
GEOGRAPHIES OF POWER
The production of worldviews has been radically altered by the convergence of airspace and dataspace, embodying state power in the 21st century. In this project, Weber explores the atmospheric topography of enclosure and the use of airborne machines that manufacture and condition the spaces of a securitized and surveilled society. Starting from French philosopher Gilles Deleuze's inversion of surveillance into 'counter-veillance', where he sought to turn the prison inside out and 'watch the watchers', the research project inverts the totalizing imperial reconnaissance of the US military drone to trace the geographies of drone warfare as an act of counter-reconnaissance.
Donald Weber, Shrapnel Fragment (Diotom), O-FG-265-051913. From the series War Sand, published in 2018.
By using the method of (re)appropriating satellite imagery from Google Earth, the hidden indices of state power become intelligible, vivid, palpable and contestable. We can now see drone infrastructure not just as a geopolitical agent, but an infrastructure and ecosystem that encloses life itself. This project sets out to visualize what photographer Trevor Paglen has termed the 'geography of our geography': the Geographies of Power.

Several brutal crimes allegedly involving face biting, dismemberment and cannibalism have recently offered a chilling reminder that real life can be as bizarre as fiction -- even a horror film.
Trying to explain the psychology behind cannibalism can be even scarier.
Karen Hylen, the primary therapist at Summit Malibu Treatment Center in California, said that, while people have historically resorted to cannibalism for survival or religious reasons, modern interpretations of cannibalism focus on questions of addiction or mental illness.
"People who have engaged in this act report feelings of euphoria or get a 'high' by performing the action to completion," she told The Huffington Post. "These individuals have psychopathic tendencies and are generally not psychotic. They know exactly what they are doing."
Hylen said cannibalism often begins as a fantasy, which the person plays out in his or her head. But when that person gets a taste for real, "the pleasure center of the brain becomes activated and large amounts of dopamine are released –- similar to what happens when someone ingests a drug like cocaine."
Once that happens, Hylen said, the burgeoning cannibal's brain becomes conditioned to seek out the activity in order to obtain the feeling again, which leads to a cycle of cannibalism that can only be stopped through outside intervention.
Cannibals grow addicted not only to the eating aspect, according to Hylen, but to the ritual of hunting the prey as well, "just as a cocaine addict becomes addicted to the process of cutting up lines before they ingest the drug itself."
Unlike other addictions, the chances of the average person becoming addicted to cannibalism are exceptionally low.
"It takes a complete lack of empathy and ability to experience normal human emotions to reach this state," Hylen said. "Generally, less than 1 percent of the population is classified as [a psychopath], although more may possess the tendencies associated with psychopathic disorder."
Even then, Hylen noted, not every psychopath will have a cannibalistic mind-set.
"Only the sickest of individuals would entertain such a notion, let alone act on it," she said. "Just because you or your therapist believes you have psychopathic tendencies does not mean that cannibalism is in the realm of possibility for you. If you are this type of person, you most likely already know it to be true and don't need an outside source to tell you."
As cannibalism is quite rare and, according to Hylen, on the far end of the spectrum of addictive behaviors, getting treatment is difficult.
"To date, there is no effective cure or treatment for these individuals, as no amount of medication or psychotherapy can instill empathy in someone," she said.
But there are success stories, such as the case of a self-proclaimed cannibal in Indonesia named Sumanto, who was sentenced to five years in prison in 2003 for stealing and eating a woman's corpse, an act he believed would give him supernatural powers, according to the Jakarta Globe.
Sumanto was freed in 2006 after receiving several sentence remissions and has lived at a private mental institution since then. So far, he hasn't fallen off the wagon and credits that to a conversion to Islam.
Still, he admits to being lonely and is hoping to find a wife who will accept him for who he is.
"The important thing is, my wife has to be a woman and she has to be religious," Sumanto told the paper.
While on drugs, Charles Baker, 26, of Palmetto, Florida, allegedly got naked, barged into his girlfriend's house, bit a chunk out of a man's arm and ate it, then powered through several cop-deployed Taser probes before getting tackled and arrested.

While the deals will remain largely the same as in previous years, consumers can expect more rewards with every dollar they spend during this year's Great Singapore Sale (GSS).
Dr Jannie Chan, the president of the Singapore Retailers Association, which organises the sale, said this on Thursday at a press conference to launch the annual event. She added that people are no longer lured by just discounts and expect more value for their dollar.
To cater to this and to mark the GSS 20th anniversary this year, the SRA will be giving away $20,000 to the biggest spender. More details can be found on the website, www.greatsingaporesale.com.sg/promotion.
Dr Chan added that she expects a three to five per cent increase in sales revenue from this year's GSS. SRA is also giving away $20,000 to its supported charity, The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund. The money will go towards over 100 under-privileged children through two charity events.

"the gaze of the film + esp those scenes is repulsively male" & 13 other notes left during "Blue is the Warmest Color"
Blue is the Warmest Color turned out to be a pretty controversial movie. Everyone liked it, then everyone hated it, now people all all hung up on its secret politics (?) and seem to hate/like it. Two things are for certain though: it has a lot of sex in it, and it is also very long.
So long, in fact, that one couple had the time to pass a fat stack of notes about the movie between one-another (13 pages!), discussing everything from Adèle Exarchopoulos being a good actress to how director Abdellatif Kechiche is sort of an unforgivable, sexist shithead.
I just want to know how they had time to write their notes and read the subtitles. I guess they do dance quite a lot in the movie.
In any case, I took pictures of all of them and put them on the internet. They aren't in any sort of order, so keep that in mind. Enjoy.
"this is exactly the problem. This dude is fixated w/ women's pleasure — So "mystical" and "magical" in the abstract — his fascination is anthropological and makes it ugly in its worshipfulness — he comes at it with zero humanism. Women are as oppressed by elevation as by subjugation."
"and I think this is his way of acknowledging them. But (as in 7 Psychopaths) acknowledged misogyny/objectification is nowhere near remedying it."
interesting theory. but it's still unforgivably gratuitous and I think it's just a stretch.
I agree. That scene complicates it though.
"Posed" by Emma when they have sex, then she's experiencing pleasure but not comfort? Just a thought."
in a way, the rest of the film (with its naturalism) is not –> maybe the clinical nature of the sex scenes is meant to emphasize that Adele feels.
which seems to me to speak to a perceived divide b/w sex and everything else which is total bullshit and a director this attuned to his performers really ought to know better.
I don't really pose. Just with Emma.
This is I think the key line of the whole movie. The sex scenes are posed.
the sex scenes would make so much more sense and be so much less intrusive if hey just fucking talked during
that was the first sex scene that felt like it actually belonged in this movie + didn't physically repulse me.
I was about to lean over and say the exact same thing
So much of this is just how incredible the actress is.
ironic. let's remember that a great deal of this is from the graphic novel — the text understands much more than the director could.
We learn so much more about Adele from the dancing scenes than the sex scenes
It's just sad. I thought I was being funny with my remark @ the beginning but clearly the director cares pretty prominently about their bodies. The gaze of the film + esp these scenes is repulsively male and betrays the film's otherwise sensitivity.
What kills me is the movie seems to legitimately care about H's thoughts/feelings/wants/needs/fears of every moment except when she's having sex.

When the temperature rises nothing relieves them more than spending time in swimming pools, public and private. But having a private swimming pool gives you a different feeling of privacy and comfort that you can not test in public pools. In addition, it gives the overall design of the house a distinctive character and a dynamic atmosphere, so it is not surprising that the homes of the rich and famous Its own swimming pools.
The pool is often designed in a manner consistent with the mass of the house and fit with the neighboring gardens and the outer limits of the place to be part of it and not an outsider. Even with details that can be added, such as waterfalls, Jacuzzi, interior drawers and other accessories, you must draw as one unit inseparable from the pool design.
Include countless of geometrical figures such as the ring, the rectangle, and others. Some of them are designed with smooth curved lines, sometimes random, following the shape of the earth and the design of neighboring gardens, if any.

Q: Working with events when clicking an item within a list javascript So, right now I have an html list and some javascript code to go with it. When an item in this list is clicked, it is bolded. This all works fine.

apple

orange

banana

But, when I add some html to a div using javascript:
    $(document).ready(function () {
        document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "";
        $(result).html("

apple

orange

banana

");
    });

the onclick bolding doesn't work for the items in this list. I'm not sure why. Here is a fiddle to show what I mean. The "dropdown" list isn't clickable but the bottom list is. http://jsfiddle.net/avfyvk2v/11/
Any idea how to make the dropdown list item bold on click?
UPDATE
I'm thinking it might be because I grab var list = document.getElementsByTagName("li"); before I add the new list. Working now, let me know if you have input. Thanks!

A: Use full power of jQuery:
$('#result').on('click', 'li', function() {
    $(this).toggleClass('bold');
});

In this case the event will fire for all li elements inside #result even if they were created dynamicaly. Also toggling css class will save some space.
http://jsfiddle.net/semencov/kn0w1y8m/

A: You sure found an excellent way to complicate that one

$('#result').on('click', 'li', function() {
    $(this).css('font-weight', function(_, w) {
        return w === 'bold' ? 'normal' : 'bold';
    });
});

$('#result').html("

apple

orange

banana

");

A: You can use this :
var list = document.getElementsByTagName("li");

function markSelection() {
    if (this.style.fontWeight !== "bold") {
        this.style.fontWeight = "bold";
    } else {
        this.style.fontWeight = "normal";
    }
}
$('body').on('click', 'li', markSelection);

It will make jquery add a click event on every li element that are child of the body element.

A: Try this, First add listelement to html and then apply click event:
$(document).ready(function () {
        document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "";
        $(result).html("

apple

orange

banana

");
    });

 var list = document.getElementsByTagName("li");

    function markSelection() {
        if (this.style.fontWeight !== "bold") {
            this.style.fontWeight = "bold";
        } else {
            this.style.fontWeight = "normal";
        }
    }

    for (i = 0, len = list.length; i < len; i++) {
        list[i].onclick = markSelection;
    }

课程 4(共 4 门,敏捷开发 专项课程)
While agile has become the de facto standard for managing digital innovation teams, many wonder if they're doing it 'right'. Twitter is full of jokes about how teams say they do agile but don't 'really' do it. The reality is that getting the most out of agile is less about observing specific procedures and more about how a team focuses and measures their progress. Rather than just boring you with an accounting of agile methodologies, this course focuses on helping you better charter your team's focus, definition of success, and practice of agile. While learning about agile mainstays like Scrum, XP, and kanban, you'll also learn to help your team ask the right questions about how they're working and facilitate good answers on how agile can help. This course is supported by the Batten Institute at UVA's Darden School of Business. The Batten Institute's mission is to improve the world through entrepreneurship and innovation: www.batteninstitute.org.
agile product management, Agile Software Development, backlog management, Kanban, XP
The course was challenging for me since I lacked the experience of working in an IT/Software Development, but I thought all the practical exercises forced me to develop some practical skills.
Great course on how to implement Agile in an organization, taking into account Agile principles and the different frameworks and methodologies there are. A very practical approach to it
The Agile Team
This week we'll introduce the four fundamental jobs of software development to help you define what's important to your team and, hence, which of the many agile practices might make the most sense for you to try out. Then we'll talk about achieving alignment with your company while maintaining autonomy through an agile team charter. We'll close by stepping through the leading agile methodologies--Scrum, XP, and kanban. You'll finish the week with an understanding of how to pair what's important to your team with the best of what agile has to offer.

If you're innovating in digital, you're probably using some form of Agile, and if you're not, you might want to consider it. But what is Agile and how do we know if it's working? I would say that the core of Agile, the manifesto, which is actually only 68 words long, it's really more a set of outcomes that you're trying to get to than one single prescription for how to get there. Every team gets there differently because the circumstances of every team are different. And that's both kind of the opportunity and the challenge of Agile. And also, the charter for our course is how do I help you get to, one, better outcomes for your user, help you get better and better at delivering something valuable to them. And two, help you work better and better with your team to do that. And the great thing about Agile is that it does a nice job of helping you work on those two things simultaneously in a complimentary way. Now, how do we know if we're getting better and better at Agile? because that's really the point. There isn't one single Agile that if you do it in one certain way, it'll always work for everybody all the time. I think it's useful to unpack it in this product pipeline. Explicitly or implicitly, we all go from certain observations about what might be valuable to our user to release product. Some digital experience that we're putting in front of them and we're hoping is engaging for them, that they use it, and that it makes them better off. And then I think a good way to look at whether we're getting better and better at doing that is with these three areas, continuous design, Agile development, and continuous delivery. With continuous design, we're asking, are we getting better and better at making sure that what we're releasing is seeing really high engagement? And are we making space for our team by building fewer things better, with more purpose and more focus on what actually matters to the user? With Agile development, we're primarily really looking at, as a team, are we getting better and better at releasing software and getting more output out the door? Because as much as we need to balance outcomes that we're getting to with output that we create, we do still have to get software out the door. And then with continuous delivery, we're looking at, are we able to update and release really quickly? Amazon famously releases every 11.6 seconds, they're learning fast, their teams are able to release easily, and they make a habit out of doing that. It's well instrumented into their Agile cadences and the way the teams work together. How are we going to do that? Well, let's talk about that in the context of the five courses in the specialization. In course one, Agile Meets Design Thinking, we're going to look at how we bring better inputs into the process. If we don't bring good inputs into the process, everything else we're doing could be generating waste and not adding up to anything for our team, even if we do it really well. In course two, Hypothesis-Driven Development, we're going to look at this whole pipeline. And we're going to look at how we unpack it Into a series of testable hypotheses so that as we work with our team, we're creating a culture of experimentation and a focus on testable ideas that we test appropriately. Because there are very different tools that we use to test these different hypothesis areas. And we kind of need to know whether we ought to be going all the way through the cycle and releasing product, or, for example, running a design sprint, going out, learning more about our user. In course three, Agile Analytics, we're going to look at how we pair design and analytics and how we make a regular habit of that to bring observation into everything that we're doing so that we can iterate more purposefully. So that we're asking and answering good questions as we go from qualitative to quantitative observations. How do we pair those and use them together to improve our practice of Agile? In course four, Managing an Agile Team, we're going to look at the underlying jobs to be done in software development. How do we get better at learning what's valuable? How do we get better at making good, testable decisions, clear decisions about what to build? How do we get better at managing our code base and all the infrastructure associated with that? And how do we get better at interfacing with external stakeholders? A lot of jobs to running a product program or a project program around digital. How do we pick and choose from all the different stuff available, all the different methods and practices of Agile? Apply those purposefully, test them out for our team, and decide which ones are working for us and which ones we should change? And then finally, in the capstone course, we're going to look at all these things together and think about how we apply them more purposefully.

Nickelodeon's Dana Heath, 16, Talks About Being Vegan
Whether you watch Nickelodeon and know who Dana Heath is, your younger family members are already fans of the up-and-coming actress, who plays superhero "Mika" on Nickelodeon's hit series Danger Force. Her more than 372,000 Instagram followers like her every move, and are already well aware that the comedy show –– a spin off of the popular series Henry Danger also available on Netflix –– is likely a stepping stone to bigger things for the 16-year-old TV star.
Danger Force, for the uninitiated, follows the adventures of a group of super-powered friends who use their unique powers to fight crime. Mika's unique weapon: She can generate a super-sonic scream to tame her enemies and win the day.
Among the many things that make Dana unique: She has been a vegan since age nine. To talk to her, you get the feeling she is as heroic off the screen as her character is on it. The Beet had the opportunity to interview the cheerful young TV star about her vegan lifestyle during a quick break between filming. She enjoyed a box of Oreos as she chatted about her family's upcoming Thanksgiving plans, which will feature vegan dishes, including her favorite creamy dairy-free mashed potatoes.
Why Dana Heath Went Vegan at Nine Years Old
Fans of Danas may not know that no dairy or meat products are included in her lunchbox on set and that she has followed a vegan diet for the past 7 years. The star went plant-based when she was 9 years old, the same year that she and her mom moved to Los Angeles from Sunny Isles Beach, Florida for her acting career.
Her initial reason for switching to a veggie-based lifestyle was for her health. "Non-vegan foods were messing with my stomach and I was sick all the time," Dana recalls from those early years. "I just never really felt healthy," she added.
How Dana Heath Became Vegan
The actress was advised by her doctor to cut back on processed foods, more specifically, the foods that most people "have trouble with" to help reduce inflammation and pain in her stomach. Her doctor highlighted dairy and meat products as inflammatory and told her to start by cutting out the burgers and cream-based pasta sauces she once loved. At that moment, Dana decided to make the switch to a plant-based diet, not only for her health but for the sake of her career.
During our conversation, Dana opened up about the health problems she endured before she went vegan. Previously, her stomach pain was so intense that she would have to take five to ten minutes out of the demanding shooting schedule and lay down in a dark room to rest her stomach and recuperate. "I would get super sick," Dana told The Beet. "Now, eating vegan, I'm able to power through it." It's a benefit she's grateful for since it meant she could step into more ambitious roles and not worry about the toll on her physical health.
How Dana Heath Deals With Cravings
Dana's journey to eating vegan was pretty seamless, but like everyone else, she has moments where she'll get a craving for non-vegan desserts. Cutting out meat from her diet was no big deal, she said since she wasn't eating much beef, fish, or poultry to begin with. About a week into a meat-free lifestyle she gradually removed dairy products from her diet which was the hardest step for her. Especially tough was walking into a bakery or ice cream shop and smelling the aroma of baked goods or soft serve ice cream. She told herself that feeling healthy was worth giving up these momentary pleasures.
A couple of months later, after staying consistent on her vegan diet, Dana says she started to fully reap the benefits of healing her digestive system, and that made it all worthwhile. "I was a lot happier and I could eat a bunch of food and not feel the repercussions as much, I didn't have as much pain in my stomach and I became less sick."
What Dana Heath Eats on Her Vegan Diet
"When I first went vegan almost seven years ago I was eating much healthier, and I'm trying to get back to that." Starting out, she loved to eat quinoa bowls and Mexican-style dishes that were made with vegan ingredients. A few of her favorites include rice and beans, lettuce wraps, and salads. Now, Dana explains that it's not always easy to eat the healthiest vegan foods when she doesn't have the time to meal prep. She gives her grandma a shout-out for helping her pack meals to bring to the set now that they live together.
In fact, the Heath family is so supportive of Dana's decision to eat plant-based that her mother even went vegan at the same time as Dana did. Dana said that her mom had been spending more money at the grocery store to shop for herself in addition to vegan alternatives for her daughter. Instead of making two dinners or breakfasts, Dana's mom decided to eat the same dairy-free products she bought her daughter and cut out meat and fish from her diet.
A Vegan Thanksgiving
This year, Dana and her family are celebrating a vegan Thanksgiving in Los Angeles and can't wait to eat her grandmother's famous dish: vegan mashed potatoes. "They're the best in the world," Dana says confidently. She and her family plan to enjoy corn, green beans, spinach, stuffing, and possibly a tofurkey (tofu turkey), as well as a less-traditional taco bar with all kinds of vegan toppings like lettuce, diced tomatoes, dairy-free cheese, sour cream, and more.
"My grandma's trying to be vegetarian and we're encouraging her to eat healthier," Dana shared. In her household, there's always something vegan cooking on the stove or in the oven so they'll often eat whatever is being made.
"I try to encourage my family and others to eat plant-based by telling them how much it has changed my life in a positive light, I'm a lot happier in my mental and physical state."
Dana Heath's Advice for Fellow Vegans
We asked Dana how she thinks parents or anyone with a loved one who eats plant-based should handle a foodie holiday – or any shared meal where everyone is not eating vegan. "To make family members feel more included, I suggest looking up recipes for a vegan alternative so no one feels isolated. It's not always fun to be eating salad at the table when your family is eating burgers, so it's better to find a veggie burger recipe or something else that's hearty. I don't want to make anyone feel like the weirdo in the room for choosing to eat plant-based."
For Dana, eating plant-based is all about being inclusive. When she encourages others to eat this way she does it in a gentle manner: "I bring it up as a, 'Hey this has helped me out,' but I never force it on people because I don't want them to turn against plant-based because I pushed it on them."
At the end of our conversation, the actress explains that she never forces things on others, or judges people on how they live. Words Dana lives by are: "Live and let live."

Candidates for CPA licensure in the state of Hawaii must hold at least a bachelor's degree with 150 credit hours.
In May 2011, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimated that 4,580 accountants and auditors were employed in Hawaii. The average wage for accountants and auditors in Hawaii in 2011 was $61,750.
CPA Licensing in Hawaii
Hawaii CPAs are licensed by the Hawaii Board of Public Accountancy. To become licensed, a person must first take the CPA exam after meeting the following academic requirements:
Hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent in accounting, OR
Hold a bachelor's degree in a subject other than accounting but with 18 semester hours of upper-division or graduate-level accounting subjects.
Requirements to be issued a certificate (license):
Complete 150 hours of semester study at an institution of higher education.
Hold a bachelor's degree with 24 semester hours in upper-division accounting courses and 24 semester hours in upper-division non-accounting business courses.

According to LearningMarket, candidates for license renewal are required to take four hours of ethics for each two-year period.
Accounting Jobs in Hawaii
The greatest concentration of accountants and auditors is found in Honolulu, which is a hub for business and international commerce.

I've started working on a Debian Stretch minimal Image for the ODROID C2.
I'm not very satisfied with the arm64 support under Debian Jessie so I'll try and see if Debian Stretch will work out better.
It's a headless server image only with user root. But it has all my repositories included, which allows for easy installation and updates of packages such as Kernel and Headers and other packages.
A few basic tools such as htop, mc, vim and bash-completion are already installed for your convenience.
Which should easily allow you to install a Desktop Environment.
Make sure you have the latest version of setup-odroid installed, or else installation of Desktop will fail due to a bug in Debian Stretch.
Currently Kodi is not working, as it fails to create a Window. It's currently unknown what is causing this issue and how to solve it.
You will need to configure 3D acceleration for yourself.
Please don't ask about Debian Stretch support for other boards, it will come "eventually". I can't do all at once.
PHP 7.0 will make a vast performance improvement for NextCloud/OwnCloud etc.
Hello, any idea (at least very rough estimation) when the final build can be available?
good question... basically everything except Kodi seems to work fine.
I can probably release it and just disable an option for Kodi at the moment.
This build has been stable for me with the exception of lirc which I have not yet managed to get working.

Just tried lirc from setup-odroid, everything is working fine (tried it with the ODROID remote).
After installing lirc from setup-odroid it now works fine. Thanks.
Sorry for the dumb question, I'm not very experienced with this.
but is it supposed to have Kernel debug output in the console? How can I turn them off?
here you can define where it should put the debug messages. If you remove console=tty0 it should go away.
meveric wrote: I've started working on a Debian Stretch minimal Image for the ODROID C2.
Great, this will be more useful to people than Jessie.
FYI I've been running Stretch on my C2s for a long time, and everything that I use runs fine.
will there be a version with mainline kernel? That would be awesome.
As long as there is no support from HardKernel for mainline Kernel I won't support it either.
Newest Kernel doesn't mean it's always running better, in most cases it means it runs worse than with the older Kernels and causes more problem than it solves (like missing or partly broken GPU/VPU support, as it can be seen on XU4 4.9 LTS Kernel).
Does this kernel get patches backported? Like against dirty COW and so on?
I always try to patch high security issues, even all the way back with the old 3.8 Kernels for Exynos 4 boards.
But I won't be able to include ALL security fixes. Dirty COW was already included in 3.14 and other security issues patches well.
Where you can find exploits to test if your Kernel is affected from these issues or not.
Great work, I will test it. Is it possible to upgrade from jessie just as a "normal" debian upgrade on x86/64 systems? I mean, if I change both debian repository and your repository from jessie to stretch, will the upgrade work?
I suppose I would edit /etc/apt/sources.list, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/meveric-jessie-backports.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/meveric-jessie-main.list.
It should work if you change the repositories from Jessie to Stretch, although not all packages you have installed may already exist under Debian Stretch (I just started porting all software to it).
Does it mean that for each kernel version this package should be rebuild too?
Yes it does... still I wonder why there should be a missmatch of Kernel and media-tree, since I always compile them together.
I just checked on it and found the package was uploaded to the wrong repostitory.. I'm gonna fix that in a couple of minutes.
meveric wrote: Yes it does... still I wonder why there should be a missmatch of Kernel and media-tree, since I always compile them together.
Ok, now it is install-able. Thank you.
Hello , when I try to install Mate desktop on this image the installation stucks at 81% when apt configures the dbus.
I check with Htop on another tty and the status of all the proceses are "S".
I try 5 times , after launch "apt update && apt upgrade && apt dist-upgrade " I reboot ,like the alert message sugest.
That's new.. I'll check on it later. Wonder if they changed something on the repositories.
Nothing new about the problem?
Now using it as a base for realtime MachineKit testing for odroid c2 support.
Super slick headless so far.. getting ready to tryout some desktop action.
I saw earlier that you said kodi did not work, has that changed since?
Sadly no.. I tried again Kodi 17.4 yesterday, but still no luck.. the packages looks fine and I doubt it's an issue with Kodi itself.
Still whenever I try to start it, it's unable to find the display and GPU drivers, although many other 3D applications have no issues with this.
I still suspect it's the new Xorg Sever 1.19 that is causing this issue, but I haven't found a way around it yet.
Is there anything us lowly noncoders can do to help you troubleshoot?
On the C2, I highly doubt it. Unless you are a Linux and ODROID Guru and can downgrade the entire XOrg Server without breaking the rest of the system to try my theory I doubt it.
Yeaaah a little out of my pay grade. I will patiently rock your jessie image.
I checked myself a little bit ago and with some experimenting I could downgrade xorg to the version of Debian Jessie, but the result was the same.. I try a couple other things..
as an error and I don't know yet how to solve this, but I'll keep trying.
Could you please provide me an xorg.conf?
I'm mostly interested what is the appropriate GPU driver in case of stretch.
PS. Thanks for your grate work!
do an apt-get install setup-odroid it should help you figure it out.. it also has some xorg.conf files.
Besides, that xorg.conf does not change.. it's the same for Debian Jessie and Debian Stretch, even for Ubuntu.. it's all the same.
meveric wrote: Besides, that xorg.conf does not change.. it's the same for Debian Jessie and Debian Stretch, even for Ubuntu.. it's all the same.
Hm.. I did use mali driver when running jessie. After upgrading to strech I'm not able to find the package containing the mali driver.
pld wrote: Hm.. I did use mali driver when running jessie. After upgrading to strech I'm not able to find the package containing the mali driver.
Yes initially I did not port xf86-video-mali-odroid to Stretch, since fbturbo did perform far better under Debian Jessie and Ubuntu than Mali ever did.
Still I ported it eventually for some testing, but did not upload it, but I'm doing it right now and it will be available in a couple of minutes.
This is the wrong fbturbo driver. It's the driver directly coming from Debian Stretch and is meant for other boards (not for ODROIDs), I tried that one myself but couldn't get it to work either.
Make sure to install either xf86-video-fbturbo-odroid or xf86-video-mali-odroid. Non of the other will work.
Once again, setup-odroid should be able to take care of all of this, so you don't have to handle it manually.

I had partial success installing and starting xorg and lightdm and a display with 14.4.0-rc1. I was missing keyboard / mouse support for whatever reason (using wrong virtual console somehow) so was unable to do any further testing. 4.14.0-rc1 is a bit broken for the moment for emmc. It has a bug causing CRC errors on my setup which is a little dangerous and I had to manually enable basic HDMI in the device tree.
I had some issues with permissions initially starting x, but all I needed was to add my user to video, audio and tty groups. I am probably missing some more config to set the virtual console to match my keyboard and mouse? Keyboard works find in text mode console until X starts.
Great to hear kernel 14.4.0 RC1 works with HDMI even partially.
Can you please check the status of the meson DRM display driver?

I installed xserver-xorg-input-all and now have keyboard and mouse working but its doubling or missing keystrokes.
Then Installed xserver-xorg-video-fbdev and Xorg is then using it and performanced improved somewhat. Chromium runs poor through consuming alot of CPU but works.
Ah... DRM driver might break the faster FBturbo implementation.
odroid wrote: Ah... DRM driver might break the faster FBturbo implementation.
Thank you for the confirmation. Yes, fbturbo is quite faster than stock fb driver.
But the GPU(Mali) might not work AFAIK.
Can you please try "es2gears" to check the Mali driver status on the command line?
If Kernel 4.14 utilize the Mali GPU correctly, you will see a message something like this with rotating three gears.
I think we have to move to other thread.
These items are out of topic obviously.
odroid wrote: I think we have to move to other thread.
Be careful with xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo. This one comes directly from Debian and is NOT for ODROIDs. I still provide xf86-video-fbturbo-odroid which is optimized for ODROIDs.
My tests indicate that xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo wasn't really working all that great.
I'm using a pretty long cable - 5M to a 4K monitor, but it should be outputting at 1080p.
Flickers on and off every few seconds and I also get green lines.
Luckily, ssh works by default so I was a able to start updating and working on the system.
yes I think 5m is like a maximum for HDMI, could be that at this length you start to get serious issues.
Yeah 5M is the max - I tested with another SBC, Raspberry Pi 3 and the same cable/monitor works without flickering.
I dont know if this means its a resolution issue or something else. I did catch some HDMI interrupts and a few lines being being printed on the login screen.
encore2097 wrote: Yeah 5M is the max - I tested with another SBC, Raspberry Pi 3 and the same cable/monitor works without flickering.
The Pi 3 only uses HDMI 1.4 so it might not be a 1 for 1 test as the Odroid is using HDMI v2.01a. Its suggested in the HDMI standards that HDMI 2.x might require shorter runs (2m or less) or higher quality HDMI 2.x cable. Not saying its your problem but worth investigating.
after some time I tried to install desktop (MATE via setup-odroid utility) but it stucks at 81%, as described by Braulio some time ago. Does somebody know how to resolve this or it is still not resolved? Thank you.
Braulio wrote: Hello , when I try to install Mate desktop on this image the installation stucks at 81% when apt configures the dbus.
Does this support hardware acceleration (especially for video in mpv) and moonlight-embedded?
no hardware acceleration for mpv... moonlight should work though.

With a holiday to break up the week, you would think there would be less important news to report. On the contrary, however, there is more — as the information about Dr. Noriko Arai demonstrates:
Happy Thanksgiving . . . For What It's Worth. . .
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, this is not a Beatles retrospective, but our annual Thanksgiving Day greeting to all our loyal readers. We're making a lot of gains, but sometimes it just seems a little slow . . . like roasting a turkey or something. . . .
Pillars of a Just Market Economy
The three principles of economic justice as stated by Louis O. Kelso and Mortimer J. Adler in Chapter 5 of The Capitalist Manifesto (1958) are hardly radical. They are, in fact, in full conformity with the natural law and the founding principles of the United States. Nevertheless, they had been introduced into a society in which Keynesian economics and New Deal politics were as solidly embedded as unquestionable as the population theories of the Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus.
Topics: economic justice, Just Third Way, Property, William Ferree
Why Keynesianism Promotes Waste and Consumerism
As we saw in the previous posting on this subject, John Maynard Keynes established his reputation as the World's Greatest Economist™ by employing the simple expedient of telling people what they wanted to hear, regardless how goofy it ended up being once it was examined. Take, for example, his claim that the only way to finance new capital formation is by reducing consumption and accumulating the excess production in the form of money savings.
Monetary Reform and the Younger Set
From the usual faces one sees in the Just Third Way Global Justice Movement, it's easy to get the impression that it's a bunch of retired academics and politicians (when they're not already departed this world) with nothing of relevance to say about the modern world. You might get a different impression after viewing this video from a few years ago:
As the holiday season gets into full swing and companies and countries start to think about year end statements and declarations, important events in the Just Third Way may sometimes get overlooked. Here are a few we think should not:
Counterfeiting for Fun and Profit
The late economist Irving Fisher, considered by the late Milton Friedman to be the greatest late economist America ever produced (a remarkable statement by Friedman), once said something to the effect that inflation was the same as "legal counterfeiting." The late Paul Samuelson reportedly echoed this sentiment, although we have not be able to find the source for either Fisher or Samuelson. It doesn't matter, though, because we agree with it, at least up to a point.
Topics: Catholic Social Teaching and Economic Justice, Keynesian Economics, money and credit
Greed is Good! Deceit is Delightful!
And now for something completely different! Every so often we've made a reference to Dr. Milton Friedman's appearance on the Phil Donohue Show and his comment that "greed is good." It turns out that Friedman wasn't the only economist advocating the goodness of greed and its benefits for the human race.
Topics: Catholic Social Teaching and Economic Justice, Keynesian Economics, money and credit, Natural Law
A Global Monetary Standard?
As we noted in the previous posting on this subject, occasionally we get questions from our readers the answers to which we think would make a good blog posting or two. This particular set of questions came from someone in another country who wanted to know how we would go about establishing some kind of global standard for all the different currencies of the world.
Topics: Banking, Central Banking, money and credit
Just Another Just Third Way Video
. . . or is it? Today we bring you a video of the keynote speech given by Dr. Norman G. Kurland, president of the interfaith Center for Economic and Social Justice (CESJ) at the 2010 "Rally at the Fed", where a small band of concerned citizens attempted to tell increasingly deaf ears that the whole Keynesian paradigm is off-based, and only a system that truly respects the dignity of each and every human person, every child, every woman, and every man, has a chance of restructuring the social order in a more just manner without redistribution or other injustice:
With all the hoopla over politics and economics these days, you'd think there would be something with some substance to it, but all we see is the same-old-same-old that does not get to the root of any of the problems or exhibit any respect for human dignity. In any event, here are this week's news items:
A New Monetary Principle
Every so often we get a question from one of our readers that we can answer and get a new blog posting at the same time. This one comes in response to someone in another country who wanted to know the basic principles of the new monetary system we propose under Capital Homesteading and other Just Third Way reforms.
Topics: Banking Principle, binary economics, Louis Kelso, money and credit
The Slavery of Savings
As we saw in the previous posting on this subject, John Maynard Keynes established his reputation with the publication in 1919 of The Economic Consequences of the Peace. In the book he made the remarkable — and demonstrably false — statement that the world could not possibly have advanced to the stage of economic development it enjoyed before the outbreak of World War I had not ownership of capital been concentrated in the hands of a few people.
Topics: binary economics, Keynesian Economics, Say's Law, Slavery of Past Savings
"Never" is a Long Time
Many people today deplore the consumerism and waste that permeates the developed world, and point out that if (other) people would just share what they have, consumerism would lessen its grip on the economy and waste could be eliminated. That is true, but only up to a point.
Topics: Keynesian Economics, money and credit, Pope Francis, Say's Law
Just Third Way Video:
Not too long ago a CESJ Fellow from Belgium put together a brief video explaining the Just Third Way using animation. It's a little short, so for an added bonus we've included a repeat of another brief video, "People and Things:
Topics: Just Third Way, Podcast
It seems the closer we get to the end of the calendar year and the start of the holiday season, the harder it gets to find Just Third Way news items. Everybody tends to put important things aside until after the holidays and as a result not only does nothing get done, nobody talks about it and there is nothing to report except about the things you are going to do, or at least hope to do. Even so, we have a few news items:
The Pons Asinorum of Binary Economics
Today we address a problem that most (if not all) economists do not even think of as a problem — which may itself be the biggest problem of all. How, after all, can you solve a problem that most people will not even agree exists?
Topics: Banking, Central Banking, Henry George, Keynesian Economics, Louis Kelso
The Rise of Socialism
As we saw in the previous posting on this subject, the two fatal flaws in Keynesian economics (at least the two with which we are most concerned . . . today) are the idea that labor is responsible for all production and that past savings are essential to finance new capital formation. These two assumptions are not exclusive to Keynesian economics, however. They are also integral to the rise of capitalism — and socialism.
Topics: Catholic Social Teaching and Economic Justice, Just Third Way, Natural Law, Socialism
Say's Law of Markets
As we saw in the previous posting on this subject, under the Currency Principle "consumption" is divided into direct consumption by people, and indirect consumption to create capital instruments. Under the Banking Principle, of course, consumption is consumption, it does not matter whether it is direct or indirect.
Topics: Banking Principle, binary economics, Just Third Way, Keynesian Economics, Say's Law
JTW Vlogcast: Is Greed a Virtue?
Back in 1979 Nobel Laurette Milton Friedman was on the Phil Donohue Show and made his (in)famous declaration that greed is good. This has been taken ever since by libertarians and others as proof that capitalism beats socialism all hollow. In the opinion of others, however, it does no such thing.
For some reason there seems to have been a focus on candy this week in addition to the usual horrors. That was in spite of the fact that we did not run a single "Halloween Horror Special" this October, unless one includes the posting on Herman Melville's novel, Moby Dick. Be that as it may, here are some of the more Just Third Way-ish happenings this past week:

Two arrested in Tijuana trying to flee the crime scene
MDP Newsroom
Police detained two people, Carlos, 45, and Steven, 31, who were trying to flee a home where they allegedly held a man against his will and beat him, Tijuana police said. Mexican police do not release the last names of arrestees until after conviction. (Courtesy of Tijuana Police Department)
A skull and a semi-buried body were found in the courtyard of the house in Tijuana's Sanchez Taboada II neighborhood.
SDUT.- A man who was beaten with his hands bound flagged down two Tijuana police officers Friday afternoon and led them to a home where police discovered human remains and arrested two people.
Tijuana municipal police said they located the home in the Sánchez Taboada II neighborhood after a person escaped from being tied up, beaten, and held against his will there. He flagged down uniformed officers who had been patrolling the area.
The beaten man identified two suspects, who were trying to flee from the house when officers arrived, according to a spokesman for the Tijuana Police Department.
Police arrested the men, ages 31 and 45. Mexican police do not release the full names of defendants unless they have been convicted in court.
While searching the property, Tijuana police said they discovered a skull and a semi-buried body in the courtyard of the home. Detectives from the state Attorney General's Office of Baja California were called to the home to investigate further.
