As we progress through the Bible in our study of thankfulness whose stupid name is so stupid that I am not even going to mention it, we begin to see more instances of the word "thank," especially in the two books of Chronicles. And the trend I observed in 1 Chronicles 16 continues throughout 1 and 2 Chronicles: wherever we see thankfulness, praise is not far behind. This may come as no surprise; after all, as Li'l Spicy said in his famous "Thanksgiving and Praise Are Like Our Right and Left Arms" speech, thanksgiving and praise are like our right and left arms. But why do they belong together so naturally? Let's see if we can figure it out.
We just finished another minor prophet, so today we flip back to trying to learn new things about gratitude, or at least to remember things about gratitude that we've forgotten or haven't thought about in awhile. Here's the scene: David has just come back from victory over the Philistines and brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. There, the citizens make offerings, David distributes food to them, and then Asaph the priest (who also wrote a bunch of the psalms) and his relatives offer thanks to God in the form of a psalm. Welcome back to another installment of our stupidly-named series Totally Hip Gratitude. I have made my bed, and now I must sleep in it. But what can we observe about this passage and what it shows us about thankfulness?
How are you sleeping these days? Lately I've been waking up too early and having trouble going back to sleep. I think the experience of perturbed sleep is common to man: we all have times when the demands of life interrupt the regularity of our sleep. I have a lot of respect for people whose jobs require them to keep odd hours, working at night and sleeping when the sun comes up. You know: police officers, night janitors, the third shift of the Levitical priesthood.

The Female Quixote
Charlotte Lennox's 'The Female Quixote'
Posted by ArtLark on January 4, 2021 in Books, Feminism, Literature | 2 Comments
On the 4th of January 1804, the English author and poet Charlotte Lennox, née Ramsay, died in London. The fact that she was buried in an unmarked grave at Broad Court Cemetery is, in some metaphoric way, meaningful. In her writing, and especially in The Female Quixote (1752) (or The Adventures of Arabella) – a novel imitating and parodying the ideas of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote (1605), she tried to speak up on behalf of suppressed female desire, and, to a certain extent, to inspire women to have the need for it. Yet, in a world dominated by men, her attempt turned out to be futile, an expression of which can be her empty gravestone.
Arabella, the heroine of the novel, who lives in a remote English castle isolated from the fashionable world, develops an overwhelming fondness for French romance novels. She reads them passionately and imagines her life to be as adventurous and romantic as that of their heroines. But soon, reality strikes hard. Upon her father's death, she learns that in order to save her estate she would have to marry her cousin, Glanville, and give in to restrictions of married life. She does not want to immediately abandon her dreams, which frustrates and maddens her well-meaning suitor. With her head full of wild fantasies, she visits Bath and London, where she meets Sir George Bellmour, Glanville's friend, who attempts to court her in the same chivalrous language and high-flown style as she had found in romances. Then, probably inspired by one of the French satires, she throws herself into the Thames in an attempt to flee from horsemen whom she mistakes to be "ravishers", and becomes weak and ill. She is finally 'brought to reason' by a doctor who explains to her the difference between mundane reality and literary illusion, and in effect, as a result of this, she finally agrees to marry Glanville.
The Female Quixote, may at first glance seem like a trivial satire. But it actually conveys a rather complex message. "It has been commonplace to consider Charlotte Lennox's novel as primarily an employment of female power in which, as Patricia Mayer Spacks observes, "a young woman with no opportunities for action and with little companionship imagines, on the basis of her reading of romance a world in which she can claim enormous significance." Spacks reads the character of Arabella… as an active signifier of a female desire for things historically reserved exclusively for men: fame, power and influence, heroic status. It is this desire, in fact, that must be tamed if Arabella is to take her allotted place in a male-centred society that defines woman not as a signifier of desire but as the object of male desire – as the empty space to be filled up by male desire. Arabella must, in other words, learn to trade romance for reality, her plot of female ambition for a plot of feminine submission." (Thomas H. Schmid, "My Authority": Hyper-Mimesis and the Discourse of Hysteria in The Female Quixote', Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature, Vol. 51, No. 1, 1997).
Thus, the book can be considered as a critical commentary on the gender relations at the time and it does represent a coherent feminist stance. By abandoning herself to the world of fantasy, Arabella became a 'creator' of a certain reality – her own reality. And she placed herself at its very centre, which, of course, in the eighteenth century was still unimaginable to do for a woman. Ronald Paulson remarked that though at first the book seems to focus "on the heroine's mind", it turns into an "intense psychological scrutiny of Arabella … replaced by a rather clumsy attempt at the rapid satiric survey of society". (Ronald Paulson, Satire and the Novel in Eighteenth Century England).
What is more, Lennox's reference to Cervantes' Don Quixote, and especially the way both stories end, seems to explicitly expose her criticism on gender inequality in the eighteenth century and its impact on the women of the time. As noticed by Deborah Ross: "When Don Quixote loses his delusion, the spell is broken, he dies, the book ends, the reader is sad. When Arabella loses hers, she is cured and can get married and live happily ever after." (Deborah Ross, 'Mirror, Mirror: The Didactic Dilemma of The Female Quixote', Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900, Vol. 27, No. 3, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, Summer, 1987). The "happily ever after" is then compared by Lennox to death, meaning in this case, a definite social exclusion of married women in eighteenth-century England. Arabella, just like Don Quixote, is led by her illusions into a duel which from the start she is bound to lose – but unlike her male counterpart, she does not fight against windmills but fossilised social stereotypes.

Turning on the television when you should be studying or working.
Keystone habits, according to Duhigg, are different than your standard good or bad habits and can be used to create a sort of baseline for good habits, transforming your life and leading you to make other good habits instead of bad ones. Let's take a closer look at keystone habits and how they work.
Making your bed in the morning.
Tracking food and drink you consume.
Having family or friend dinners.
Why Is a Keystone Habit Life-Changing?
Create small victories every day.
Act as a catalyst for other good habits.
Provide you with energy, momentum, and confidence to succeed.
Who couldn't use all of this in their daily lives? Duhigg's "habit loop" is made up of a cue, a routine, and the reward that comes with completing that habit. Small victories help you accomplish things throughout the day, engage in further good habits, and see ongoing progress in your life. Before, things may have been muddled with no clear path forward. Keystone habits help you organize your life so you can more readily understand and manipulate it to achieve your goals. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?
A recent study found that 45% of all human behavior is habit-driven, so what we say, do, think, and feel are often driven by habit. You may have experienced this when you respond on autopilot to a typical question, such as, "How are you?" from your barista. You may automatically say, "Great, how are you?" even though your car broke down on the way to work that morning. Daily habits are the strongest habits — practice makes perfect, and habits require repetition. Keystone habits can help you actively set goals, manage your time effectively, feel grateful for your life, and learn new skills.
HabitCoach can help you by establishing your goal first and then suggesting great keystone habits that can get you closer to your goal.
As Jim Rohn said, "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." Keystone habits and HabitCoach can help you become motivated and keep on going no matter what comes your way.


We continue our athlete interviews with another passionate athlete and great competitor who has competed at some of the worlds biggest events. This week we interview Swedish National 100m hurdler Elin Westerlund. Read below as Elin takes time out of her schedule to answer our questions.
Q: How did you get involved in your sport/event?
A: Young and full of energy.
Q: What's the best thing about being an athlete?
A: All the people you get to meet, get to go places where I would never go otherwise, all the travels and also the adrenaline rushes and the feeling of reaching your goals.
A: The off season training looks very different from the one I do during season. During off season I usually do two sessions every day except Friday which always is my day off. Usually its one sprint session and second session is either technique och weights. During season I barely do one session/day and most focus is on competitions. Easier sessions with more focus on explosiveness.
Q: What is your career high?
Q: How do you prepare for a competition?
A: Usually take it pretty easy, I like to be as relaxed as possible and being around friends just talking or playing games is a common pre competition situation for me.
Q: What's the most difficult challenge you've had to overcome within your sport?
A: To stay motivated during times when the expected progress doesn't come.
Q: Which other athlete do you look up to the most and why?
A: Susanna Kallur. An amazing athlete but has also got an extremely genuine and beautiful personality.
Q: What's your favourite food to eat that may be best not to tell your coach?
A: Lollies, of all kind.

Petersburg Cold Storage diversifies its clientele
Ed Schoenfeld, CoastAlaska - Juneau
Petersburg's nonprofit cold storage plant is serving a wider group of customers than it did when it began about 10 years ago. It's still mostly freezing fish for big processors but it's also taking in groceries and sport anglers' catches.

Petersburg Community Cold Storage holds up to a half-million pounds of product at a time and during its decade of operation most of that product has been pink salmon from big processors.
But that's been changing.
"It's kind of extended beyond just the idea of having seafood in there," said Liz Cabrera, coordinator of the Petersburg Economic Development Council, which owns the plant.
She says it's freezing and storing fish from smaller processors, as well as local businesses.
"The restaurants and the grocery stores and even some of the remote lodges will bring things in. And even the canneries will store groceries there," she said.
It's also being used more by hunters, charter operators and sport anglers without enough freezer space. Cabrera said one person brought in a moose.
Petersburg's cold storage plant continues to give priority to its anchor tenant, Ocean Beauty.
"If they get a large delivery or large run of fish they can't really handle at their plant they can bring it over and freeze it and hold it at the facility. They can also do freight consolidation so maybe they don't have a container load yet of something they're providing to a certain market. So they can hold product until they have a full container load," she said.
The plant, on Petersburg's waterfront, a half mile south of downtown, plays a somewhat different role for smaller seafood processors.
"They'll hold frozen product there until maybe later in the season when they have time to smoke it or do some value-added processing. If they're doing custom processing or maybe they don't have enough room in their storage areas, they'll bring excess over and hold it there until their customers can pick it up," she said.
She said the economic development council has heard from some direct marketers interested in adding different types of processing to the facility.
They're exploring options but she said it's hard to do more in the same amount of space when there are no plans for expansion.

Cabrera says the public cold storage is already juggling smaller customers' needs with those of the anchor tenant.
"Sometimes we'll prioritize floor space and … have to block in maybe some of our other users in order to be able to accommodate our larger user and we'll try to move them out as fast as we can, so we can get to things that are stacked up behind," she said.
Volume – and income – is better this year than last. Smaller fish runs from July 2014 to June 2015 brought in gross revenues of about $125,000. July, August and September of last year alone brought in 90 percent of that amount.
It's representative of the ups and downs the facility has seen, as the salmon catch ebbs and flows and producers close or change hands.
Cabrera says overall, the operation has paid its own way.
"We try to even it out on the good years and save the money for the year we know is going to be a down year," she said.
Good years included 2009 and 2013.
Along with the customers, the species frozen and stored have changed. Pink salmon still make up much of what's in the facility. Unlike the early days, fish aren't just blast-frozen and put into a shipping van.
"I think we see a lot more chum and eggs that we're processing or holding in the facility than we did initially and then just holding more product for additional processing later on," she said.
Petersburg Community Cold Storage construction was funded by the state Fisheries Economic Development Program and the Petersburg Economic Fund.
Its latest addition is a couple big totes to hold ice for sport and commercial fishermen, offered at no cost.

Staff Fest returns Friday to celebrate Emory employees
Staff Fest, the time-honored annual celebration of Emory's staff, returns Friday on the Quad. All current staff members and retirees are invited to come out to share a meal and engage in a variety of free activities. Most activities take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
"Staff Fest is one of the great traditions at Emory. As a special way of thanking the staff for their dedication and commitment to the university, Staff Fest offers a day of food, fun and celebration," says Del King, vice president for human resources.
Building off of Emory's strategic framework, this year's Staff Fest theme is "One Emory – Engaged for Impact." The event, traditionally held the Friday after Commencement, is so popular that Staff Fest 2019 T-shirts are already sold out.
"Staff Fest always feels a little bit like a family reunion to me," says Paul Ficklin-Alred, Emory Employee Council president. "I like walking around for a while looking for familiar faces, catching up with people I've known for years but haven't seen in a while."
He adds, "It's the best kind of meeting: no business, no agenda, no task list, no PowerPoint, just fun in the sun, good company and good food."
Here are a few of the day's highlights:
Fun Run/Fun Walk
The day always begins with the Fun Run/Fun Walk offering all participants the opportunity to run, walk or do a little of both while the temperature is still reasonable. Open to all Emory employees, the Fun Run/Walk starts at Asbury Circle and ends on the Quad. The race begins at 10:30 a.m. with check-in time by 10:15 a.m.
Volleyball tournaments
Also beginning at 10:30 a.m. is the volleyball tournament, a tradition of fierce and friendly competition. The teams have been assembled and signed up and will start playing for the gold on two courts set up on the Quad. Come cheer on a team or just be amazed at the moves sparked by the competitive spirit of these games.
A variety of familiar, fun entertainment options will be offered on the Quad, including a DJ and dancing, a rock wall for climbing; Zumba exercise groups; and more sedately, face painting, caricatures and green screen photos.
Also, there will be games on the Quad, including a basketball hoop, cornhole, giant Connect Four, and football inflatable games.
Food is always a highlight of Staff Fest, which again offers a full lunch catered by Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q. The food tent will open at 11:30 a.m. and food will be served while quantities last.
On the menu for entrees are chopped beef brisket and pulled chicken or a vegetarian option of black bean burgers and grilled Portobello mushroom caps.
Side dishes are fresh fruit, potato salad, vegetarian baked beans and the awesome cheese biscuits.
Cookies and lemon pie squares are on offer for dessert.
A variety of Coke products will be available for lunch and throughout the day, donated by Staff Fest partner Coca-Cola.
Ice cream and popcorn are provided on the Quad throughout Staff Fest.
To help Emory with its sustainability goals, attendees are asked to bring their own reusable water bottles to limit how many plastic bottles are distributed. Refill stations will be available on the Quad. Disposing of your food waste properly helps make Staff Fest a sustainable event.
Staff Fest is a Zero Landfill Waste event, and help is needed in assisting attendees with properly sorting their waste into compost and recycle bins. You can sign up to be a Staff Fest Zero Waste Ambassador to keep Emory moving toward its goal of 95 percent diversion of waste from landfills by 2025.

Known for their rugged coastline and distinct marine culture, the Atlantic Canadian Provinces are breathtakingly beautiful. Newfoundland & Labrador, the most easterly province in Canada, forms an expansive, rugged coastline with the wild Atlantic Ocean. This is one of Canada's best kept secrets!
Newfoundland, a separate island to Mainland Canada, boasts so much of what Canada is famous for. Fly into the Province's charming, colourful capital of St. John's – the gateway to the Province, and be greeted with the sincere warmth of an old friend, humpback whales and towering icebergs.
The untamed wilderness of Labrador, which forms part of mainland Canada, promises wilderness adventures for intrepid explorers. Witness the largest caribou herd in the world and travel to the far north to the Torngat Mountains and stay in Inuit communities – a magical part of Northern Canada where Polar Bear and walrus call home.
Search in Newfoundland & Labrador
Is Newfoundland right for you?
The Island of Newfoundland is the size of England and often referred to as a mini Canada. You can expect almost everything that Canada is known for – aside from the big cities:
Wildlife encounters to include whales, moose, bears, puffins and eagles.
Mountains, forests and fjords.
Rivers, lakes and The Atlantic Ocean.
Fabulous dining and exciting nightlife.
Incredible places to stay – from the award-winning Fogo Island Inn to lighthouses, historic B&Bs, Oceanside cabins and luxury wilderness lodges.
Hiking, kayaking and other outdoor activities.
History, culture and heritage.
Four UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Visit Gros Morne National Park, a natural wonder 20 times older than the Rockies and home to Western Brook Pond fjords. The Long Range Mountains, the northernmost extent of the Appalachians, contain numerous glacially-carved fjords. One of the most spectacular is the Park's largest lake, Western Brook Pond.
Head north to the L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, the only authenticated Viking settlement in North America.
Hop on the Labrador ferry to Red Bay National Historic Site and experience the remnants of a 16th-century Basque whaling station – the first industrial site in North America.
You'll find the oldest complex life forms on earth and the first appearance of skeletal organisms – some 565 million years old at our newest UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve.
Life on the water
Get a great ocean view from 29,000 kilometres (18,000 miles) of coastline, perfect for diverse and awe inspiring coastal drives. Stroll the laneways of picturesque historic towns and fishing villages nestled around fjords, inlets, coves, guts, bays, and tickles along the way. And take time out for a chat with the locals.
Breathe in the purest fresh sea air along Iceberg Alley, where a sparkling spring parade of towering, 10,000-year-old icebergs unfolds every year, in a beautiful clutter of pristine white and azure blue. Bring extra batteries for your camera, to view from land or sea.
Rich with wildlife
Newfoundland boasts the world's largest concentration of Humpback Whales. When ancient icebergs drift south while humpback whales migrate north, they're bound to cross paths. Meet 29 varieties of marine mammals. You'll find more species, more often, in more places around here than anywhere else in North America.
It is also home to some of the world's largest and most accessible seabird colonies in North America. More than 35 million seabirds gather here every year. See northern gannets, kittiwakes, murres, Atlantic puffins, osprey, falcons, hawks, storm petrels, razorbills, and bald eagles at six ecological reserves, including the magnificent Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve.
If getting outdoors is your passion, hike along ancient footpaths to deep fjords, towering cliffs and sub-arctic barrens, through lush inland forests, and over the Earth's mantle. These diverse trails and the fresh sea air will rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit. Take a sea kayak to caves, inlets, and secluded beaches along routes protected by offshore islands, and view the land from the sea.
A culinary renaissance
Take part in Newfoundland's culinary renaissance. You'll relish the authentic cuisine and award-winning dishes from land and sea — cod tongues and cheeks, caribou, snow crab, salmon, moose, bakeapples, colourful wild berries, tea and lassy buns, toutons, and salt fish and brewis; all served up with a hearty and proud smile.
When should I go?
Although this is a year round destination, winters can be hugely chilly, so travel in the warmer months is recommended. The intention of your visit may identify the right time for you:
Whale Watching: June – August
Bird Watching: May – October
Icebergs: April – July on the island, sometimes until August in Labrador.
Walking, Hiking, Kayaking: May – October
Early summer (May onwards), although still cool, is a great time to visit St. John's. Icebergs can still be seen as late as June from the city and whales make their way to the shores of Newfoundland to feed right through to August.
July and August are the most popular months to visit and temperatures can reach as high as 25 degrees but can dip as low as 12 degrees. As Newfoundlanders say -"there is no such thing as bad weather – just bad clothing". Bring lots of layers.
Summer activities continue through September to include golfing and hiking. Come October it's dry and wonderfully crisp. Newfoundland boasts a short but breath-taking fall foliage season with colours typically peaking in late September/early October.

America the Risky?
AMERICA THE RISKY?….I've mentioned before that although I think George Bush's foreign policy is misguided and ineffective, it's at least an arguable issue. His economic polices, on the other hand, are as stupefyingly wrong and dangerous as it's possible for an economic policy to be. Misguided tax cuts, out of control spending (and bad spending, at that), politically motivated tariff policies, long-term deficits as far as the eye can see ? all of this and more have combined into a genuine threat to our long-term well-being.
How bad is it? Last week's Economist reported on a computer model from Lehman Brothers called Damocles. Damocles is designed to predict the riskiness of emerging market economies, and a score of 75 or above indicates a one-third chance of a crisis within 12 months. Most of the world has seen their riskiness scores drop over the past few years, but there's an exception:
When Lehman ran America's economic numbers through Damocles, the outcome was striking. With its rapidly climbing current-account deficit and foreign debt, among other worries, America's Damocles index is just shy of 75. There are, points out Russell Jones, the bank's international economist, problems applying Damocles to America, which enjoys the luxury of having the world's reserve currency. Granted. Poorer countries tend to owe dollars, and therefore suffer when their currencies fall. Lucky America, of course, owes its own currency.
America is big enough and rich enough that we are unlikely to face the kind of crisis that a smaller third-world economy would face if they followed our policies. But that's not exactly inspiring news.
Bad policies are bad policies, and Damocles simply tells us what practically every economist already knows: we may not fall off a cliff anytime soon, but we are nonetheless in very serious trouble. And George Bush and his advisors simply don't seem to care. To them, economics is just another effete academic discipline to be shoved aside whenever it disagrees with their favored conservative ideology.
The problem is that this really matters. The 90s were a decade of American economic triumphalism, and it became conventional wisdom that the American brand of capitalism was a juggernaut that couldn't be stopped. The rest of the world just needed to shut up and follow our lead.
But what everyone forgot was that it was only one decade. During the 80s it was Japan that everyone wanted to copy, and in the 70s it was Germany. There is no iron law that says America's growth of the 90s has to last forever, and bad policies really can derail it. That's what's happening now, and the bill is going to come due sometime soon.
The only question left is, how soon?

Parallel Construction: Building Criminal Cases Using Secret, Unconstitutional Surveillance
Loaded on May 14, 2018 published in Criminal Legal News May, 2018, page 1
Filed under: Crime/Demographics, Statistics/Trends, Police State-Surveillance. Location: United States of America.
by Iris Wagner
Ascension Alverez-Tejeda and his girlfriend stopped at a traffic light. When the light turned green, the car in front of them stalled. Alverez-Tejeda suddenly stopped before hitting the car in front of him, but the pickup truck behind him struck his bumper. Police arrived on the scene, arresting the truck driver behind him for drunk driving. Alverez-Tejeda and his girlfriend were then questioned about the incident, leaving the keys in the car for processing. During this time, a bystander entered Alverez-Tejeda's car and drove away. Alverez-Tejeda and his girlfriend, shocked, were left behind as the police on site chased after his stolen car. The car was recovered and searched, with police finding large amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine.
Unbeknownst to Alverez-Tejeda was the fact that the whole incident was staged. That is, every person involved in the incident, aside from Alverez-Tejeda and his girlfriend, was either a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency ("DEA") agent or a local police officer. Weeks before, DEA agents had learned that Alverez-Tejeda was transporting and dealing drugs across state lines. Upon learning this, Alverez-Tejeda was placed under surveillance until they tracked down his car and performed this elaborate ruse. By staging this "accident," "theft" and "chase," they were able to seize the drugs without "tipping off" the conspirators or other people involved.
This process, in which government agencies deliberately conceal origins of evidence by creating alternative explanations for discoveries, is known as "parallel construction." According to the American Civil Liberties Union, parallel construction is commonly used in a variety of government agencies to protect sources and mask methods of investigation. By definition, parallel construction allows government agencies to act non-transparently while shielding them from judicial review or public scrutiny, leading to a pressing issue of lack of accountability over government agents. The use, and lack of oversight, of parallel construction strategies can set a precedent in which investigations can take place based on prejudgment, misconduct, illegal surveillance, racial profiling, and pure suspicion, according to concerns conveyed by the group Human Rights Watch. And the lack of oversight of parallel construction can open up a Pandora's Box of misconduct in investigative techniques used by law enforcement agencies.
In effect, this process can lead to a violation of constitutional and human rights and risks the legitimacy of criminal and judicial processes. Specifically, parallel construction infringes on the right to fair trial proceedings, as the concealment of investigative methods prevents defendants from challenging unlawfully gathered evidence used against them in court. Additionally, if the origin of the evidence obtained in the investigation is not transparent, it violates the right to access government evidence that is favorable to the accused. Importantly, parallel construction strategies rely on unlawful surveillance, which is a direct infringement on protected constitutional rights.
Examples of Forms of Parallel Construction
Parallel construction takes form in a variety of ways and is used in a multitude of contexts by federal agencies on a daily basis. Federal agencies use methods to conceal origins of evidence or suspicion by "rediscovering" evidence through legitimate means that they already have, conceal investigative methods through alternative stories, and systems of accountability within these agencies are often sparse, inadequate, or nonexistent.
But what exactly are these agencies doing? And how do they so easily get away with it? There are multiple examples of techniques and agencies that practice parallel construction or tolerate its use.
Traffic stops
First, traffic stops and vehicle searches are most commonly used as pretexts for a larger investigation. As evidenced in the case of Alverez-Tejeda and his girlfriend, pulling someone over for a minor traffic violation is a simple and common way for law enforcement officials to initiate interaction with a suspect. Most likely, these people have been previously surveilled or targeted by law enforcement, but a traffic stop or vehicle search is the first transparent interaction or investigative technique that gets the ball rolling.
In other words, traffic stops are initiated based on previous knowledge or suspicion of illegal activity, with the hopes that law enforcement will then be able to use that stop to obtain more information from the suspect. In these circumstances, law enforcement will develop its own probable cause to justify a traffic stop in order to cover up or work toward a larger investigation already well in the works.
Many federal agencies, such as the FBI, ICE, and ATF, use this technique in collaboration with local police departments.
Warrantless searches also are a common and relatively simple form of parallel construction. The government may search an individual based on pre-gathered knowledge, but claim the search as their first interaction. Or, in other cases, a government official may search someone's property without their consent or warrant, and then later use what was discovered during the previous search as the basis for a subsequent search.
In the egregious example of U.S. v. Grobstein, the defendant was traveling on a Greyhound bus across the country when he was discovered by a DEA agent to be in possession of methamphetamine. The defendant claimed that the DEA agent conducted a search of his bag without the defendant's permission, found the drugs, and then later pulled the defendant aside for a "consensual" search in which he "re-found" the drugs, claiming that had been the first time he had searched the bag.
Another common form of parallel construction is via surveillance. Oftentimes, the collection of telephone data and records will be used in an investigation of someone without their knowledge. Sophisticated technology has been created that allows for the interception of data from hundreds of cellphones at a time.
For example, in 2013, it was discovered that the DEA had been using AT&T databases to access call records of U.S. citizens. When it came time for prosecution, agents would re-obtain call records or information that they had currently been aware of, but would act under the false pretense that this was their first time accessing the records. In other cases, information obtained by the NSA has been used against defendants without disclosing that the intelligence gathering agency was the source of the information.
Additionally, surveillance information has been obtained by the NSA and FBI under Section 702 as part of the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court Amendment Act of 2008. Technically, Section 702 is meant to allow for warrantless surveillance of non-U.S. citizens for foreign intelligence purposes. However, this law has in some cases allowed for warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens, who are "incidentally" or "inherently" involved. In these cases, law enforcement agencies are not obligated to disclose where or how they learned certain information.
DEA's SOD
The Drug Enforcement Agency's Special Operations Division ("SOD") is perhaps the most infamous when it comes to the use of parallel construction. The SOD is a task force that partners with dozens of other government agencies (such as the FBI, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and city police departments) to help piece together multiple elements of a criminal network in order to help with the investigations of larger criminal operations. Therefore, a key function of the SOD is to obtain a large amount of information, secretly, in order to help support "intelligence-led" investigations. By taking advantage of intelligence data, the SOD helps investigations be more efficient and effective. Nominally, the purpose of the SOD is to gather context for an investigation, not gather evidence. However, this line can easily be blurred and crossed.
Initially, information gathered, stored, and searched via this sort of surveillance was used to help form a larger picture in the operation of criminal activity. However, this information eventually began being used in court and in criminal trials. When questions arose within governmental agencies about its legality, it was ignored because it was so easy to get away with, there was little accountability and the evidence was working so well in prosecuting large criminal operations.
Parallel Construction Violates Defendants' Rights
The use of parallel construction is illegal and in violation of multiple U.S. constitutional rights and international human rights laws. Below is a discussion of specific laws and rights of which parallel construction is in direct violation.
The Fourth Amendment
The Fourth Amendment protects U.S. citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures and requires that searches be conducted with the presence of a warrant or probable cause. While some argue that parallel construction operates within the legal confines of the Fourth Amendment, it is evident that parallel construction is generally in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment and is therefore unconstitutional behavior in many instances.
The Right to Privacy (protection from surveillance)
The right to privacy is alluded to in the Fourth Amendment, suggesting that no one should be unlawfully searched. Therefore, the use of non-consensual surveillance tactics is arguably illegal and in violation of U.S. citizens' constitutional rights.
When someone is formally accused of a crime, they are entitled to certain information and evidence disclosure, meaning that defendants have a right to receive "discovery" before their trial. Discovery includes a police report, recordings of police interviews with victims, photographs of a crime scene, and any other records relevant to the case. However, defendants who are victims of parallel construction are unable to discover and challenge evidence used against them in trial if the evidence and the investigative methods of gathering that evidence was concealed or never formally reported. Therefore, the use of parallel construction interferes with a defendant's right to evidence disclosure and the right to a fair trial, which violates the constitutional right to due process.
Oftentimes, superfluous amounts of evidence and discovery are made available to the defendant. However, most of that is not relevant or important to how the investigation began. In these cases, it appears as if the defendant's rights have been respected. However, the most important information, which could potentially expose questionable investigative techniques, are withheld from the defendant in cases involving undisclosed parallel construction.
This often leads to the accusation by prosecutors that a defendant is merely speculating if he or she attempts to challenge the evidence at their trial. If a government agency attempts to conceal a path of investigation, it will most likely always be more successful than the individual seeking to defend him/herself. In fact, the processes which fall under parallel construction techniques are often not even recorded anywhere within the agency, making it impossible for the defendant to ever learn the truth of their investigation.
It may very well be the case that the prosecutor has no record of this information either, and technically, prosecutors' offices are not required to. But if they are the ones processing the evidence used in a case, it is it ultimately up to them to find out and disclose if intelligence surveillance or other tactics were used in an investigation. The fact that prosecutors often do not do this makes them complicit in a cycle of illegal surveillance, acquisition of evidence, and lack of accountability within a government agency, thereby tainting the integrity of the criminal justice system.
However, surely in some cases, a prosecutor would attempt to gather all trails of evidence, both good and bad, to comply with the ethical requirements of the legal process. But in some of these cases, the government has resisted motions for the disclosure of unrevealed investigation techniques, claiming that the information is either irrelevant or undiscoverable. This claim is valid to a certain extent in that a line needs to be drawn at a certain point on the disclosure of relevant information. However, this can easily be used as an excuse to withhold investigative information and evidence from a defendant, therefore violating the right to a fair trial.
Additionally, it can be claimed that the government does not intend to use certain evidence as part of the prosecution, and therefore does not need to release it to the defendant, or anyone for that matter. For example, information on a U.S. citizen gathered through the previously mentioned Section 702 will likely never be used as evidence against someone in a criminal proceeding (except in rare instances), and therefore any information and process of gathering that information is not required to be disclosed or released to anyone. This is yet another example of the cyclical reinforcement of parallel construction and how government agencies have been subjected to virtually no accountability, able to get away with just about any tactics they deemed "necessary."
No matter what the circumstances or who is withholding the information, parallel construction techniques violate a person's right to a fair trial, as they conceal the process in which people are investigated, incriminated, and convicted.
The practice of parallel construction is often overlooked by the court, and government agencies who use parallel construction techniques are, in effect, overseeing themselves. For example, the use of parallel construction by the Special Operations Division of the DEA is overseen by the DEA itself (and its parent agency) to determine what activities are legally and morally acceptable. Therefore, without the involvement or oversight of judicial review, the practices of parallel construction are widely unregulated.
Unless or until a defendant brings a case to court in which he or she believes parallel construction took place, courts do not monitor the practices of the DEA, or other agencies using these techniques. Even if a government agency's investigative techniques are illegal, they have the power to conceal these actions in the best interest of their own agency and is therefore unregulated by any external body.
The lack of checks and balances in this process contributes to a growing power within government agencies and increases the potential for illegal or unjust surveillance to take place.
Parallel construction techniques and practices also violate fundamental human rights and therefore sets a precedent that these rights do not need to be respected and thus can be violated with impunity.
First, the very concept that lies behind the use of parallel construction assumes that someone is guilty, before formally proven to be so. In other words, the presumption that all U.S. citizens are innocent until proven guilty is not respected. For example, pulling someone over with the intention of busting them for drugs assumes that they are guilty before they even come into contact with law enforcement or the justice system.
Additionally, as previously noted, parallel construction is used to conceal surveillance methods, which in turn deprives the public of their right to understand the government's actions and investigations. When secret monitoring is involved, people have the right to be informed of this tactic, and have an understanding of what it entails. However, under current practices, individuals are deprived of these rights.
The use of parallel construction permits the government to get away with a large amount of unlawful surveillance and lack of transparency which, in turn, removes any incentive for the government to follow the law. Without any accountability, the government is able to continue practicing parallel construction methods and never faces repercussions for their unlawful conduct.
International human rights law requires the right to "adequate ... facilities" for preparation of defense in criminal trials. Therefore, this includes the right to access documents and other materials of evidence that are being used in a case against someone. As noted above, parallel construction prevents a defendant from having access to all paths of evidence used against him or her, which is therefore in direct violation of this international human right.
Additionally, international human rights law addresses right to privacy and states that government interference with privacy must achieve a legitimate aim and be done so within accordance with the U.S. Constitution or any international or domestic law. While a "legitimate aim" can be ambiguous, there are many forms of surveillance that go beyond what is appropriate or "legitimate" for the sake of a case. For example, the NSA's surveillance of thousands of Americans' phone records is beyond a "legitimate aim" for a specific case or purpose. Even beyond this, international human rights law requires that the government notify individuals if they are being surveilled. With this in mind, parallel construction violates these human rights by definition, as it means that those surveilled are never informed of to what extent they were being tracked, followed, or watched.
In all, parallel construction violates the right to a fair trial, violates the right to privacy, and the lack of accountability allows government agencies to get away with violating these rights on a regular basis.
Recommendations for the Future
Parallel construction violates multiple U.S. constitutional rights and international human rights conventions. Nevertheless, government agencies regularly use these techniques purportedly in an effort to make our country a safer place. But the fact remains that they are actively engaging in highly questionable and often unlawful activity that violates the rights of the very people they argue they are protecting. It is essential that the institutionalized systems that condone, and even encourage, these practices are reformed or abolished, and that parallel construction be officially prohibited.
There are multiple ways in which we can reform the systems that encourage or at least tolerate parallel construction to facilitate more humane and constitutional practices, which prevent parallel construction from taking place.
First, we can address issues through legislation by requiring that all origins of investigations are disclosed and are public record. Additionally, defendants and/or suspects should be notified of all investigative techniques during and after the time they are being investigated. Government agencies should be held accountable for their actions and should be transparent in their practices regarding their investigative efforts and techniques.
Second, the U.S. Department of Justice should maintain legal oversight of all government agencies, including the FBI and the DEA. Upholding the guarantee of governmental checks and balances is essential to our constitutional framework, and to the honesty and operation of government agencies. With judicial involvement in the oversight process, agencies would be held accountable for practicing legal and ethical investigative techniques, without the freedom to conceal them themselves.
Third, within the government agencies, policies and regulations should be developed that prohibit the practices and norms of using parallel construction. It is clear that government agencies, the DEA specifically, explicitly allow for these techniques under certain circumstances. These policies need to be addressed and abolished immediately as they are often unconstitutional and unjust.
Fourth, local courts must take responsibility for regulating the use of parallel construction by requiring the prosecution to disclose all evidence and investigative techniques. While the Justice Department can regulate government agencies on a larger scale, it is the job of the lower courts to make sure that these specific practices stop from the bottom upwards.
Lastly, grassroots campaigns and nonprofit organizations should work to inform the public and civil society of the practices of parallel construction and help educate individuals on their rights. With a better public understanding of parallel construction techniques, and strategies to exercise one's rights, local law enforcement and courts would likely not be as successful in parallel construction techniques, such as pre-textual stops or "consent" searches. Greater education on this topic could help create an informed society in which we do not cooperate with the unconstitutional practices of our government agencies.

Local government: "The Tories want to smash the unions"
BBC pensions ballot: vote "no"!
Mass strikes in France: solidarity will beat the cuts!
Germany: mass protests greet the "tough times"
A carload of AWL members is going to France on the weekend 22-24 October, taking messages of solidarity with the strikes there from union branches such as Lambeth Unison, but also planning to bring back ideas, inspiration, and reports to the labour movement in Britain.
AWL conference on 16-17 October opened with a report from Ed Maltby, who had gone over to France the week before to find out about the developing movement.
By the entrance to the British Museum's Korea gallery is a case displaying a stone dagger dating from 1000-300 BC and a collection of stone arrow heads from 6000-2000 BC.
Next to these artefacts is a razor dating from the Koryo Dynasty of the 12th-13th century. The razor, used by Buddhist monks to shave their heads, was forged in the closing years of the Koryos — a ruling line from which the name "Korea" is derived.
Up to 2000 school support staff protested in central Nottingham on Monday 18 October in opposition to the local authority's plans to slash their pay and conditions.
If you were to take media reports at face value you would think that schools were protected from the cuts being imposed by the Coalition government. The reality is very different.
While the money allocated to local authorities for distribution to school budgets seems likely to be protected from cuts, there is a whole ranges of services which are in real and imminent danger.
Solidarity asked J, a UCU activist at York University, her views on the Browne Review.
The Browne Review's proposals could open the door to an American-style system. Universities will, with a few caveats, charge whatever they like. We will have a marketplace where certain institutions pitch for working-class students by charging lower fees, while the more prestigious universities are essentially closed off to anyone who can't afford yearly fees of £10,000 or more. Is that a fair assessment?
The Browne Review of higher education funding has, as expected, recommended the abolition of the cap on university tuition fees (as well as more private universities and other privatising 'reforms').
Since 1998 we have gone from free tuition to fees of £1,000, to upwards of £3,000 – and now we face unlimited fees, regulated only by the market.
The white paper Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS proposes some of the most devastating changes to the NHS since its creation in 1948.
If the coalition manages to implement these proposals then we will lose the NHS as a publicly owned, universal and comprehensive health service.
Since the 1980s, both Tory and New Labour governments have sought to break up the NHS and sell it off to private business. The Tory-Lib Dem government are now poised to take a massive leap forward. What are their plans?
Pete Davies, senior GMB organiser in Sheffield (where local government workers are facing savage cuts and the threat of mass redundancies), spoke to Solidarity.
We're still locked in negotiations with the council. We've had two half-days of talks this week and we expect those to become regular.
We're braced for the announcement of a 30% cut, which will be between £211 and £220 million depending on which accountant you listen to. The council will be looking to introduce those cuts over three years, with 15% in 2011-12 then 7.5% the following two years.

Home News National writing award launched
National writing award launched
A new writing award — The Lozikeyi Writing Prize — that focuses on developing the skills of high school girls in Zimbabwe has been launched with the winners ceremony set for January 15 next year in the capital.
BY SHARON SIBINDI
The award is being sponsored by Voices for Women Worldwide in partnership with South African/Australian philanthropist and women's issues advocate Sharon Mather and administered by acclaimed author, poet, playwright and filmmaker Philani Nyoni.
Nyoni recently told NewsDay Life & Style that the Lozikeyi Writing Prize is the first national writing contest with focus on high school students, especially the girl child.
"Statistics prove that when women are afforded the opportunity to write they often outdo their male counterparts. Consider the literary history of Bulawayo alone can hold a candle to Yvonne Vera, No Violet Bulawayo and most recently Novuyo Rosa Tshuma. From that perspective we can be easily accused of attacking what is weak, yet all things must start somewhere," he said.
Nyoni said entrants must be high school students or of school-going age, defined by the rules as being between 13 and 18 years.
"Each piece of writing must be the original work of the submitter, who must be of Zimbabwean nationality or studying in Zimbabwe, either a registered secondary or high school students between the ages of 13 and 18," he said.
"We have streamlined the entire process to the website to have a one-stop shop for submissions and everything to do with the prize. We do acknowledge that our formula negates remote areas without computers or Internet access, but that is a cross we must bear and somehow extricate ourselves from as the vision and mission progresses."
Nyoni said they have received tremendous support from the writing community and advice from people like Lizzy Atree, the former director of the Caine Prize for African writing who has helped set-up literary contests across the continent.
"We had strong reasons and advice to start small, preferably regional to test out our formula and make full use of our limited resources, but as the vision grew bigger we realised we had little time to tiptoe," he said.

Q: Power Series - Reference Request (?) I'm not sure if I've tagged that correctly as a reference request or not, but I'm nearly done with Kenneth Ross's book Elementary Analysis, and one of the topic's that's caught my interest to learn more about was the treatment of series, and in particular, power series. I'm fond of differential equations as a subject, and I know that there is an important relationship to studying power series and understanding many types of differential equations. I'm also particularly interested in dynamics and chaos, and am curious to seek out any connections between the two subjects, as I know that dynamic systems that arise as solutions to non-linear differential equations are not uncommon.
Does anyone have any sources that would make sense for an undergraduate just finishing their first Analysis course in either of these contexts?

A: I would suggest Principles of Mathematical Analysis by W.Rudin.
It would be the next step in Analysis and he deals with power series too.
After that you might find interesting reading something in Complex Analysis and Laurent series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurent_series. A textbook in this topic would be Complex Analysis by T.W.Gamelin.

A: Check this book
