anger in Gambia over allegations ex-president ordered murders
Posted by AVALON on August 6, 2019
Relatives of death squad killers in Gambia voiced outrage on Monday at the release of three former hitmen who said they committed dozens of murders ordered by ex-president Yahya Jammeh.
Two weeks after appearing before the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission of the West African country, the men, who were part of an unofficial paramilitary unit known as the Junglers, were released from army custody.
During the hearings, the assassins charged Jammeh — who ruled the country for 22 years — with ordering multiple murders, including the 2013 killings of two U.S .- Gambians and Deyda Hydara, co-founder of The Point newspaper and 30-year correspondent of AFP in Gambia.
"It's wrong to hear all these confessions, then release the killers out in our streets, out in our communities, out in our societies," his son, Baba Hydara, told AFP.
In a statement, Gambian Justice Minister Abubacarr Tambadou said his decision to release the three men — Malick Jatta, Omar Jallow and Amadou Badjie — was to encourage other alleged human rights violaters to testify.
"What we must not do is to scare people away from telling the truth because that will not be in anyone's interest,"
"Every victim family deserves to know the truth about their loved ones."
The TRRC hearings, modelled on South Africa's post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission, started in January and resumed Monday with a hearing of another former "jungler", Ismaila Jammeh, implicated in the shooting death of a guard of the ex-president.
He claimed the guard opened fire first in the direction of the soldiers who had come to arrest him.
The TRRC hearings are expected to take two years. In the end, the body can make recommendations with regard to prosecution or reparation but cannot itself issue any sentences.
Human Rights Watch on Monday warned that the hitmen, who were arrested in 2017 but have never been tried, could leave the country.
"If these hitmen flee The Gambia now, not only will they escape justice, but we will lose the key witnesses in any future trial against Yahya Jammeh for ordering these gruesome crimes," said US attorney Reed Brody from HRW.
– Hit squad –
Jammeh ruled The Gambia — a tiny state that is almost entirely surrounded by Senegal, except for a small strip of coastline — after taking power in a bloodless coup in July 1994.
He was repeatedly re-elected in disputed circumstances until he was defeated in December 2016 by a relative unknown, Adama Barrow.
After a six-week crisis that led to military intervention by other West African states, Jammeh bolted from the country.
Human rights activists have accused his regime of the systematic torture of opponents and journalists, executions without trial, arbitrary detentions, forced disappearances and rape.
The commission has gripped the public with its graphic evidence.
Last month Badjie, a hit squad member, told the panel that Jammeh ordered in June 2013 for two US-Gambian businessmen who he suspected of planning a coup, Alhaji Ceesay and Ebrima Jobe, to be "chopped into pieces".
The two men were arrested and suffocated, beheaded and buried, Badjie told the commission.
"Our team was a hit squad for Yahya Jammeh. We had blind loyalty for Yahya Jammeh," he said.
Alhaji's mother Ya Mamie Cessay expressed her horror at the release of the men.
"I feel so disrespected as a mother that my government is setting free the men who just confessed in the savage killing of my son," she told AFP on Monday.
"What is the point of truth if the perpetrators of these crimes are set loose?"
The government has said the hitmen's release is not an amnesty but has also not set out any restrictions to prevent them from fleeing the country.
Former soldiers, currently in custody, have also accused Jammeh of the murder of around 50 migrants rounded up on a beach as they were trying to make their way to Europe, but were taken for rebels.
Barrow has indicated he will wait for the commission to conclude before deciding on whether to request the extradition of Jammeh.

Does v. Chiquita Brands International et al.
Current Case
Banana packing plant.jpg
Family members of Colombians killed by left-wing guerrillas and the AUC paramilitary group brought ATS, TVPA, state law, and Colombian law claims against Chiquita, a company that provided substantial support to both left-wing guerrilla groups and the AUC.
Factual Background:
Beginning as early as 1987, Chiquita (through its Colombian subsidiary Banadex) provided significant funds to left-wing guerrilla groups, including the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ("FARC") and the National Liberation Army ("ELN"). Chiquita made those payments for nearly a decade.
Around the time Chiquita's payments to the guerrillas ended, its payments to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia ("AUC")—the illegal terrorist group battling the guerrillas—began. Chiquita switched sides in the Colombian armed conflict once the AUC could mount a successful attack on the guerrillas and drive them out of the banana-growing regions. Chiquita (through Banadex) made more than one hundred payments to the AUC totaling over $1.7 million. Many Chiquita officers and directors knew and approved of the payments, and some of them even designed the payment schemes and personally met with the AUC to plan the payments. Chiquita's AUC payments led to a criminal conviction in U.S. criminal court and a $25 million fine. As part of its guilty plea, Chiquita admitted to making payments to both guerrillas and the AUC.
Although Chiquita, its officers, and its board of directors knew of these terrorist groups' violent campaign against civilians in the banana-growing region, Chiquita's payments continued unabated. Indeed, the payments spanned from the 1980s well into the 2000s. Shockingly, as the documents from the criminal case make very clear, the prevailing opinion of Chiquita's executives was not to stop the payments because the Colombia operation was the company's most profitable. Instead, at least one board member expressly said at a board meeting, "just let them sue us." Thousands of plaintiffs have now done just that and sued Chiquita and current and former officers and directors because Chiquita provided substantial assistance to the terrorist groups that killed their family members.
Legal Proceedings:
Plaintiffs' action was first filed against Defendant, Chiquita Brands International, Inc. in federal court in Washington, D.C. in June 2007, but was later transferred to the Southern District of Florida as part of a multi-district litigation. The active complaint brings claims under the ATS, TVPA, state law, and Colombian law on Chiquita's financial and material support of the AUC – activity which allegedly strengthened the finances of the AUC and increased its ability to carry out its violent campaign of terror against large civilian populations in the banana-growing regions of Colombia. On June 3, 2011, the District Court issued a decision largely denying Chiquita's motion to dismiss and paving the way for the case to move forward on the Colombian law claims In re Chiquita Brands Int'l (Chiquita I).
The Court then granted Chiquita leave to pursue an interlocutory appeal of the rulings at the Eleventh Circuit on the legal sufficiency of the ATS and TVPA claims and stayed the proceedings pending the outcome of that appeal. In the interim, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Mohamad v. Palestinian Authority holding that the TVPA only allows claims against natural persons, and not corporations.
Further, on April 17, 2013, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. holding that the presumption against extraterritoriality applies to claims under the ATS, and precluded an ATS action by a plaintiff suing foreign corporations for acts allegedly committed in Nigeria "in violation of the law of nations" and in collaboration with the government of Nigeria.
Ultimately, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the Southern Florida District Court's June 3, 2011 order in Chiquita I and remanded with instructions to dismiss Plaintiffs' ATS claims under Kiobel, and to dismiss Plaintiffs' TVPA claims under Mohamad in 2014. With the dismissal of these claims, only the Colombian tort law claims – currently the subject of a motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens grounds – remain pending against Chiquita.
After the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Mohamad, but before the Eleventh Circuit issued its ruling in Cardona, the Plaintiffs in IRA's case (Does 1-144) as well as three other ATS actions (Montes; Valencia and Carrizosa) were granted leave to amend their Complaints to add, as individual defendants, various current or former directors, officers and employees of Chiquita allegedly involved in forming, implementing and concealing Chiquita's decision to provide support to the AUC in Colombia. These groups filed amended complaints which now serve as the operative complaints in these actions. With the exception of these pleading amendments, the stay of proceedings otherwise remained in place during the pendency of the Eleventh Circuit's review of Chiquita I.
On June 9, 2016, a Conditional Remand Order was issued by the Southern Florida District Court – remanding Plaintiffs' case (Does 1-144) as well as Montes, Valencia and Carrizosa back to the courts where the cases were originally filed after it was determined in June 2016 that the court in the Southern District of Florida lacked personal jurisdiction for the individual defendants. A hearing on the Conditional Remand Order took place before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation at the end of September 2016 after which Plaintiffs' case was transferred back to the US District Court for DC and NJ.

And I can illustrate this with a simple medical imaging pipeline.
So if you have a CT scan or an MRI, the image analysis will do multiple stages.
And you'd be done processing the image in three abstract time units.
Now you can do more images.
And that's the beauty of pipelining.
So image2 needn't wait until all three stages have completed.
It can start the denoising step while image1 is in the registration step.
So you have D2, R2, S2.
And now you can do two images in four time steps instead of six.
Well, one way to do that is to see that the work is simple.
It's just 3 times N.
the work will be N times P.
What about the critical path length?
Well it turns out that the critical path length is at least N.
So the critical path length of span is N plus P minus 1.
N times P divided by N plus P minus 1.
Which, if you have enough images, is approximately P.
which is that with P pipeline stages, you can get P-way parallelism.
Now how do we relate this to multicore parallelism and phasers?
stages-- so task0, task1, task2.
And how do we implement the pipeline stages?
So what we can do is, well each pipeline stage looks like a while loop.
But we can use phasers to manage the synchronization.
So in this case, task0 will do arrive on Ph0.
Task1 will have a while loop.
And will have to do await on Ph0 and an arrive on Ph1.
And task3 will also have a while loop.
And it will have to do an await on Ph1.
I've only shown this for the three pipeline stages over here.
As we've seen earlier, we can also allocate an array of phasers.
is completed because that's when Ph0 will arrive.
And task1 is doing an await on Ph0.
And task2 does an await on Ph1.
And because it's a phaser, it applies to multiple phases.
So the while loop can keep going on for multiple iterations.
and get exactly the theoretical parallelism that was predicted.

Veterans Sought for Writing Group
Submitted by on January 15, 2011 – 12:00 pm
If you are a military veteran and have a story or two to tell, NECC English Professor Paul Saint-Amand, a Vietnam-Era Veteran, is looking for you. With the beginning of the Spring 2011 semester he is launching an NECC Veterans' Writing Group. Sponsored by the NECC English department, it will be open to all veterans.
NECC English Professor Paul Saint-Amand
"As a veteran myself, I invite other veterans an opportunity to tell their stories in their own way, in their own time. Though our individual perspectives differ, our training, protocols, and military experience have shaped our bond as veterans," says Saint-Amand. "When we share stories and listen to the emerging voices of other writers, we often find meaning in the stories we have yet to tell. In my mind, that is the true purpose of this veterans' writing group."
This informal writing group is geared toward supporting and encouraging those military veterans (active and inactive) who attend NECC to tell their stories (both in and out of the military) through a variety of genres – nonfiction, fiction, drama, and poetry.
The goal is to support and encourage each other as writers by sharing stories and offering responses to others in the group. The group meets monthly with an organizational meeting on Wednesday, Feb 9, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Don Pailes Conference Room on the second floor of the Bentley Library on the Haverhill campus.
A regular meeting time will be discussed at this first meeting. Any questions can be addressed to Professor Saint-Amand at psaintamand@ necc.mass.edu or 978-556- 3307.

The Honors Program at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College has two levels of admission into the program: full membership as an Honors Scholar and provisional membership. Acceptance into the program immediately provides students benefits of being a member of the honors program (see Honors Program Benefits).
Provisional membership allows a pathway for promising students to become full members and to take honors courses at NEO. However, students accepted at the provisional membership are not eligible for the benefits available to full members.
Students who are not interested in applying for provisional or full membership may still take honors courses at NEO if they meet the requirements for full admission. However, priority is given to full and provisional members in all honors courses.
At this time, only full-time students are eligible to become members. Additionally, online courses are not eligible as honors courses, so distance learners who apply must take honors-only course sections or honors contracted work on campus in traditional (face to face) course sections.
After admission on a provisional basis, eligible students must complete two NEO honors courses with grades of A or B, maintain a minimum 3.5 GPA, and be a full-time student to be eligible for full membership into the program.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Monday night at the White House Gold Star families gathered at the request of President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump for an event to honor them and the loved ones they have lost.
Sec. Kelly himself lost his U.S. Marine officer son in 2010. His son was killed while serving in Afghanistan.
President Trump addressed the room of Gold Star families before turning the event over to Sec. Kelly. Kelly addressed the families, then asked each family to stand as the name of the loved one they lost was read. The Secretary and Mrs. Kelly lit candles to remember each person that has lost their life in service to the United States.
The White House noted in a release that the term "God Star family" can be traced back to World War I when Americans "would fly a flag bearing a blue star for every immediate family member serving in the armed forces." that star was changed to gold if the family member was killed in the War.
The United States Marine Band played and a military soloist sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "America the Beautiful" for the event.

What does the baseball mitt symbolize in Catcher in the Rye?
What subject did Holden finally write about?
Why is Holden a virgin?
Why is Holden Caulfield depressed?
Why did Holden Kiss Jane?
Does Holden have a crush on Jane?
Allie's left-handed baseball glove is a physically smaller but significant symbol in the novel. It represents Holden's love for his deceased brother as well as Allie's authentic uniqueness.
He is a nonconformist. When he finally gets around to writing Stradlater's composition, he only does it because he is thinking about his dead brother and sees how he could write that "descriptive composition" about Allie.
Why does Holden write the composition about Allie's baseball mitt?
Holden enjoys Allie's baseball mitt because it reminds him of Allie. It's unique and reflects Allie's personality and intelligence. It has poems written all over it, because Allie would become bored playing in the out field. Jane is the only other person Holden has shown the mitt to.
Who is Allie What possession of his did Holden write a descriptive essay about?
In this section of the novel, Holden writes a descriptive essay for Stradlater about Allie Caulfield's baseball glove. Holden's nostalgia for Allie is made clear in this chapter and we see his positive willingness to ruminate on his younger brother, though Allie is no longer alive.
Holden is a virgin, but he is very interested in sex, and, in fact, he spends much of the novel trying to lose his virginity. He feels strongly that sex should happen between people who care deeply about and respect one another, and he is upset by the realization that sex can be casual.
Caulfield may be seen as suffering from a variety of mental illnesses including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This mental state could be a result of a variety of factors, including the death of his younger brother Allie, as well as witnessing the gruesome scene of a classmate's death.
Did Holden Caulfield have depression?
Holden displays many common traits of a person with PTSD following this loss. He has substantial amounts of guilt and depression and struggles to remember the details of events in his life. Holden's emotions seem to be highly unbalanced. His rage is extreme and his joy is more manic.
Is Holden in a mental hospital?
Holden (despite the confusion of the Harcourt Brace executive) is not crazy; he tells his story from a sanatorium (where he has gone because of a fear that he has t.b.), not a mental hospital.
Jane was upset because her stepfather was abusing her. Holden's reaction was to sit next to her and put his arm around her. But instead of just comforting her, he begins to kiss her all over her face. He confuses lust with sympathy.
Jane happens to be Holden's long-time crush, the only person he trusted enough show the baseball mitt of his dead brother, Allie. Desperate to humanize Jane in Stradlater's eyes, Holden describes how when Jane played checkers she'd line up all her kings in the back row and never move them.
Why did Holden call Carl Luce even though he didn't like him much?
Why did Holden call Carl Luce even though he didn't like him much? Holden was desperate for a companion with whom to pass the time. He also thought that since Carl Luce was quite intellectual, Luce might be able to help him. They mostly talked about Luce's romantic life and Holden's lack of one.

Social Determinants of Health and Reducing Health Inequity in Behavioral Health
Posted byShareNote.com Team June 4, 2020 June 3, 2020 Posted inNotes
We are now in a time in history that is more medically and technologically advanced than ever before. Despite this fact, however, vast sectors of the population in the US and abroad aren't reaping the benefits of all that modern healthcare has to offer. This is most often a result of health inequity.
The CDC defines health equity as when everyone has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible. Health inequity, by contrast, represents systemic issues concerning healthcare access and the distribution of resources. The causes of health inequity are most often unjust and simultaneously avoidable. Health inequity not only affects an individual's overall quality of life, but has a society-wide and even global impact.
Those working to further improve health equity and narrow the health gap must take a look at complex and overlapping data from a variety of sources in order to have a fuller view of this vast issue. This need for intersectionality when addressing healthcare concerns is why prominent healthcare organizations push for what is called Health in all Policies, or HiaP. Countries, states and cities that have enacted policies using the principles of HiaP have seen improved health and quality of life in their communities as a result of their efforts. Health equity is possible and we have the power to level the playing field with a concerted effort and the right data to inform actionable plans.
Health Inequity Around the World
When it comes to global health issues, the statistical information available is immensely sobering. While countless private organizations and governmental agencies are working hard to combat issues related to health inequity globally, there is still a long way to go, and countries facing issues of economic struggle, malnutrition and poor healthcare services are hit the hardest. Let's examine just one specific issue in-depth to learn more.
According to the World Health Organization, 15,000 children under the age of five die every day globally on average. The number of such deaths decreased from 12.6 million in 1990 to 5.3 million in 2018. This, of course, is cause for hope, but the grim statistics illustrate how the various intersection factors affecting health equity disproportionately affect those in populations struggling from multiple sides.
When it comes to this particular set of statistics, children from Sub-Saharan Africa and Central and Southern Asia are at high risk, accounting for 80 percent of the under-five deaths in 2018. Many of these deaths can be attributed to preventable and/or treatable ailments, such as pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria. In these populations, however, where malnutrition, unsafe drinking water and other unsafe conditions are common, ailments that are not as severe of an issue to children in places with more resources, become extremely deadly.
WHO's response to this issue is as follows: "Moving from 'business as usual' to innovative, multiple, and tailored approaches to increase access, coverage, and quality of child health services will require strategic direction and an optimal mix of community and facility-based care. Health sector and multisectoral efforts are also needed to overcome the inequalities and the social determinants of health."
According to WHO, other major indicators of health inequity include:
Maternal mortality– 99 percent of yearly maternal deaths occur in the developing world
Tuberculosis– 95 percent of TB deaths occur in the developing world
Shorter life expectancy– low-income countries can have an average life expectancy up to 34 years lower than high-income countries
Premature deaths due to noncommunicable diseases– families from low and middle income countries are unable to keep up with the healthcare costs associated with NCDs, accounting for 87 percent of these deaths
The principles of HiaP would dictate solving problems such as these from multiple angles, such as increasing access to clean drinking water, providing adequate sources of nutrition and increasing access to educational and occupational opportunities.
Not all helpful solutions, however, come from such large-scale interventions. Even the spreading of information can have a huge impact on long-term outcomes for those in high-risk communities. In Bangladesh, for example, where cholera is a common health concern, a study was conducted whereby households were taught how to use four layers of old sari material to filter water. This was a simple and free way for residents to have safer water and is effective in removing 99 percent of cholera bacteria from the water. Upon follow-up, cholera incidents went down by half in these households when compared to the control group.
Health inequities not only lead to higher mortality rates and reduced quality of life on an individual level, but their societal-wide impact also slows economic growth, productivity and overall development. It is in everyone's best interest, from the small scale to the large, to invest time, energy and effort into improving global health equity.
Health Inequity in the U.S.
While the U.S. is far from a developing country, it still struggles with an abundance of issues concerning health inequity. In the U.S., there are large disparities in healthcare access and outcomes across the board when looking at all of the various intersectional factors at play. The most common indicators of these disparities are often race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working towards gaining a better understanding of these factors and how to improve them. In 2013, the CDC released its second Health Disparities & Inequalities Report addressing such concerns. The introduction to the report states in part:
"Data from the REACH U.S. Risk Factor Survey of approximately 30 communities in the United States indicate that residents in mostly minority communities continue to have lower socioeconomic status, greater barriers to health-care access, and greater risks for, and burden of, disease compared with the general population living in the same county or state."
Some examples of the major issues in health equity faced by those in the US include:
Access to healthier food retailers– estimates say between 30-40 percent of Americans do not have easy access to retailers that offer fresh fruits and vegetables, with those in rural areas being most affected.
HIV– According to the WHO African Americans make up half of all new HIV infections, despite comprising just 13 percent of the US population
Diabetes– Diabetes incidence rates have been on the rise since the 1990s and are affected by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status
Obesity– On the rise since the 1960s, large disparities in obesity rates exist across various demographics
How Health in all Policies Can Improve Health Equity
Health in all Policies, as defined by the CDC, is a collaborative approach to policymaking which recognizes that healthcare consists of the integration of a multitude of factors that extend beyond what is traditionally thought of as healthcare. In simple terms, an overall healthy community will mean better overall health equity and therefore better healthcare outcomes.
According to the CDC's HiaP Guide, a healthy community provides:
Basic needs– this includes transportation, housing, clean water and access to fitness and enrichment activities such as art and music
Healthy environment– a sustainable living environment that is clean, quiet, has access to affordable energy, green spaces and is aesthetically pleasing
Economic and social development– factors include a living wage, healthy economy, job opportunities and access to high-quality education
Supportive social relationships-social and civic engagement, safe and supportive communities free of violence
The opportunities to improve healthcare through a HiaP lens are virtually limitless and can be used by organizations and governments across a broad spectrum of industries and specialties.
Successful use of HiaP: A Case Study
The California Health in all Policies Task Force was established in 2010, by way of the governor's executive order, and brought together 22 different governmental offices to analyze and better understand how to make healthcare more equitable.
Here are just some of the departments involved in the Task Force:
The Department of Parks and Recreation
The Department of Transportation
The Department of Education
The Office of the Attorney General
The Labor and Workforce Development Agency
The Department of Housing and Community Development
The Task Force works to generate problem-solving ideas and engage and educate members of the community in and outside of governmental roles. They also develop and implement plans of action based on those ideas.
Now, ten years after its inception, the Task Force is still active and updating its accomplishments via California's Strategic Growth Council website. The majority of the work of the Task Force centers around bringing together collaborative groups and spreading HiaP education.
Some successes from 2019-2020 include:
Inspiring similar HiaP Task Forces in the US and around the world
The creation of Capitol Collaborative on Race & Equity (CCORE), which is now launching a new cohort program to help empower leaders to improve racial equity
Presenting HiaP principles to UC Berkley students to educate future generations of policymakers
Evaluating and improving equity in various state grants
Health equity is an achievable goal, but it will take a collaborative effort. Whether you are a CEO with the power to implement policies for the benefit of your company's employees and customers, a government official who can push for and enact changes on a governmental level, or are simply acting as a citizen working to improve conditions in your own backyard, health equity is a cause all of us can contribute to. Now, more than ever, is the time to start making changes to improve health equity for all.

Giant Advertising Agency Is Betting That Smaller May Be Better
The largest agency holding group in advertising is seeking to revive its smallest agency network, United Network, in an effort to offer marketers a smaller and more creatively focused alternative to large, mega advertising firms. WPP has announced the appointment of Matt Ryan, who most recently held senior posts at Havas Worldwide New York, as the new United Networks global chief executive.
The idea behind a smaller agency network is that it can be more nimble, and its principals can pay more attention to each client. Also, not every marketer needs a giant agency with scores of offices around the world staffed by phalanxes of executives. "Part of our armory at WPP is to have networks with various structures and various appeals," Martin Sorrell, chief executive of WPP, said. "There's a segment of the market where clients want smaller networks, micro-networks, mini-networks. It makes sense for us to have a network like this." The eight offices that currently make up the United Network are in London, Madrid, Milan, New York, Oslo, Paris, Seattle and Antwerp, Belgium. They work for blue-chip marketers like AstraZeneca, Capital One, Coca-Cola, Ikea, Procter & Gamble, Red Bull, Visa and Vodafone.
The move by WPP to offer a downsized alternative to the mega agency networks comes after French advertising giant Publicis and its American rival Omnicom announced last August that the two firms were merging to create the world's biggest advertising company, Publicis Omnicom Group. That merger displaced WPP as the world's largest agency holding group and spawned some industry professionals to express their concerns over the risk of potential client conflicts of interest and the likelihood of unrealized efficiencies of such mega organizations.
The future of small agencies may be a bit brighter due in part to giant, behemoth conglomerates who are motivated to leverage the relationships, investments and proprietary trading desks of their parent companies. The best innovation and creative ideas usually flow from smaller organizations whose growth projections are more focused on deliverable value and creativity. Big is always bigger but is not always better and smaller, more creative, nimble and flexible agencies will likely find their niche.
Mr. Ryan said he believed that the United Network could use agencies in the Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe and Latin America regions, although he added, "It would be a big move if we went to 12 or 15" offices in total. Asked for a time frame for revitalizing the United Network, Mr. Ryan suggested it would be "12, 18, 24 months" before big returns would be obvious. Mr. Sorrell said the effort to revive the United Network was "independent of" and unrelated to the merger of giant Publicis and Omnicom.

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said the U.S. central bank may find the evidence it needs to ease back on its bond-buying stimulus efforts by next month's monetary policy meeting.
"It is certainly possible" that the Dec. 17-18 Federal Open Market Committee could bring a cut in the pace of its $85 billion-per-month bond buying program, Mr. Bullard said in an interview. He noted that policymakers will have two new job reports in hand to take stock of the economy, although he added he will not "prejudge" the outcome of the meeting.
"The biggest thing is that on the jobs front, and the data generally– we have a lot of cumulative progress" since embarking on the bond-buying effort in September 2012, Mr. Bullard said. "Unemployment is down a lot, there's been faster job growth," and these were the primary things the Fed wanted to see as a result of the asset purchases, he said.

Renovate your metal garage to increase storage and living space, improve your home value and generally revitalize your personal environment. Many metal garage kits are empty slates, but the sky should not be the limit with these renovations. Temper the scope of this DIY project by the potential for return on your investment, time and level.
Decorative renovations can do more than liven up a normal killing space. Priming, painting and waterproofing walls make the space more comfortable and energy efficient and reduce water damage. Paint the plaster as you would the walls of other rooms in the house. For walled walls, clean them thoroughly and then use a latex block filler to seal the pores. Use a long nap roll and paint with an interior latex paint. The sealing walls outside the garage will extend your paintwork and keep moisture out. Cover the floor with a good quality epoxy to add a professional shine and clean up lighter.
Epoxy paint can be expensive and sometimes difficult to apply, but only the visual impression makes it worth the effort. Changing a metal garage door is usually not a DIY project because of the weight of the door and the danger of high tension springs. Update the door appearance with color or upholstery. Improve its function with a screen to let in air and keep out bugs and other unwelcome pests.

Trying Not To Break Down — A Homeless Teen Navigates Middle School
By editor • Oct 9, 2018
14-year-old Caydden Zimmerman has been living in a homeless shelter in Boise, Idaho, for a couple of months with his 11-year-old brother and his grandma. About 2.5 million children in America are homeless.
Amanda Peacher / Boise State Public Radio
Caydden wakes up at 5:45 a.m., quickly brushes his teeth and smooths some gel in his hair, and then he dashes downstairs to ride 90 minutes in a school bus to get to class.
Originally published on October 9, 2018 11:49 am
Fourteen-year-old Caydden Zimmerman's school days start early and end late.
He has a 90-minute bus ride to get from the homeless shelter where he is staying in Boise, Idaho, to his middle school. He wakes up at 5:45 a.m., quickly brushes his teeth and smooths some gel in his hair, and then he dashes downstairs to catch his school bus.
About 2.5 million children in the U.S. currently are homeless, according to the National Center on Family Homelessness. That number is rising as house prices and rental costs continue to grow in cities large and small, and the trend is clearly visible in Boise — the fastest-growing city in the nation.
Caydden has been living at City Light Home For Women and Children for a couple of months now with his 11-year-old brother, Keston, and his grandma, Pam Cantrell. Cantrell says they moved there after getting an eviction notice at their former duplex.
"The landlord decided to sell the property, and we just could not find a place we could afford," Cantrell says. "The more I looked, the more depressed I got. I just, I didn't know what to do."
Like Cantrell and her grandsons, many low-income families in Boise struggle to find housing they can afford. Cantrell gets a small disability stipend from the government, but that's nowhere near enough to cover rent and other expenses.
The boys' mother is addicted to drugs and struggles with mental illness, Cantrell says, which is why grandma is the boys' full-time caretaker now.
"I grew up being alone, raised by my older brother and my grandma," Caydden says. "She means everything. Without her I wouldn't be here. I'd probably be dead somewhere."
After three months of searching, the shelter became their only option. Cantrell is grateful to have a place to stay but says not having a permanent home is really hard on her grandsons.
"My youngest one, he can be a little terror, because he's upset by it," Cantrell says. "He gets angry, and he'll sit in the corner and say, 'I hate this place, I hate this place.' "
"It's just an effort to try not to break down"
It's difficult for Caydden too, but you wouldn't know it. Caydden is a social 14-year-old with a big smile. One of his favorite things about school is seeing his friends.
"My friends know about it — me being homeless — they don't tease me on it," Caydden says. "They just know that I'm doing it, I'm trying to work hard. And it's just an effort to try not to break down."
Homeless kids tend to score lower on standardized tests and have lower graduation rates. It's harder to concentrate when you're anxious and worried. And sometimes Caydden does break down with his friends.
"They always bring me up when I'm feeling down," he says. "They make me smile when I'm sad."
Caydden's grades have improved since he started at this alternative middle school for students who struggle in traditional academic settings. The school district received a grant to pay for a bus to transport homeless students who are scattered across the Boise area.
Homeless students often bounce around to different schools as their living situations change. That can make it nearly impossible to keep up, so Pathways Middle School Principal Eric Eschen wants to do everything he can to keep tabs on students like Caydden.
"He's a very positive student, very giving, a very good friend," Eschen says. He points to a recent time when Caydden approached him to alert him that another student was making a mess with mustard in the bathroom. He took it as a sign that Caydden cares about the community and the school. For homeless kids, sometimes school can be a place of refuge and consistency in an otherwise hectic and messy world.
Eschen keeps an eye on Caydden because, like a lot of students in his situation, he struggled with absences last year.
"That really affected him and affected his progress, so we've got some catch-up to do this year," Eschen says.
At the end of the school day, it's another 90-minute bus ride before Caydden meets his grandma on the steps of the homeless shelter. They wait outside for Caydden's brother to arrive on another bus. Meanwhile, Caydden checks in with Cantrell about the week's schedule.
"Grandma, on Friday are you just going to go in and wait for me and Keston?" he says. "Cause you've got laundry."
"Yeah, I probably will," Cantrell says. She has to keep Caydden apprised of her comings and goings at the shelter so that he won't worry.
Growing up fast
Caydden has had to grow up faster than your typical 14-year-old. With his dad out of the picture and his mom's drug addiction, he often had to be responsible for his little brother.
"Help get him ready for school, I had to make sure Mom wasn't ... gone," Caydden says. "I had to feed Keston when Mom was passed out for days. There was one time when we only had cereal for, like, two weeks."
Caydden has been trying to convince his grandma that she should let him get a job so he can help with rent. He'd like to earn money at a fast-food restaurant or, at the least, raking leaves and shoveling snow.
"It's like something I want to do," Caydden says. "I just want to help out."
But Cantrell, aware that her grandson has already been through more than most teenagers, won't have it.
"You are not getting a job. You need to be a child as long as possible, Caydden," she says, patting his knee. "You don't want to be in a big hurry to grow up, honey."
"This is home!"
A few weeks later, there's good news in Caydden's world — they found a house. It's about 700 square feet that they share with another woman from the shelter. Caydden sleeps in the basement, in a tiny room with concrete walls and a small window. Cantrell and Keston sleep on inflatable mattresses in the living room.
"It's not the greatest, but it's not the worst," Cantrell says. She's been working on sprucing up the place. She plans to brighten up the living room with fresh paint.
But for Caydden, it's a huge improvement.
"I feel much more comfortable and safe," he says. He loves that the house is near Boise State University and has a weed-filled backyard that backs up to an alley. On football game days, he figured out that he can sell parking spots in the yard to game-goers.
"Last weekend we made 90 bucks!" Caydden says. He's scheming about trying to sell sodas on game day, too.
But probably most importantly, he can claim something he hasn't been able to for quite some time:
"This is home!" he says, smiling.
