After almost eight years in the position
Accolades, praise and thanks for Mason
Tom Frinzi taking over
Mason said 66 words
(exechange) — Lake Forest, California, December 19, 2022 — Caren Mason, chief executive of Staar Surgical, leaves her position. As announced by Staar Surgical Co. in a news release and in a regulatory filing published on Monday, December 19, 2022, Caren Mason leaves her post as chief executive officer at the manufacturer of implantable lenses for the eye, after almost eight years in the role, effective December 31, 2022.
The average tenure of CEOs who announced their departure over the past 12 months was 8.2 years. This is according to data collected by CEO-exit research firm exechange.
exechange tracks CEO departures at the 3,000 largest publicly traded companies in the U.S., examines the reasons CEOs leave and determines the Push‑out Score™, a measure of pressure on departing chief executives on a scale of 0 to 10.
Caren Mason's duties as CEO will be taken over by Thomas G. (Tom) Frinzi, currently Chair of the Board at Staar Surgical Co.
No reason given
In the announcement, Staar Surgical did not explicitly explain the reason for the move.
The top three reasons cited in corporate announcements for CEO departures over the past 12 months are performance issues (26.9% of cases), implementation of a planned succession (16.5%) and the statement that the time was right for a change (8.6%), according to exechange data. Other motives given for leadership changes included the outgoing CEO's wish to pursue other opportunities (6.4% of cases), personal reasons (3.1%) and conduct issues (2.4%). Rather rarely stated reasons are health problems (2.1% of cases), career change (2.1%), the desire for more time with family (0.9%), disagreement (0.6%) and death (0.6%). Sometimes, more than one reason was given. In 29.7% of cases, no reason was given.
Precise information regarding Caren Mason's future plans was not immediately available.
Staar Surgical said: "President and Chief Executive Officer Caren Mason will be retiring December 31, 2022, after leading the company through a significant period of revitalization and growth for more than seven years."
Generally, retirements are seen as formally voluntary departures. Still, CEOs may also be pressured to accelerate their retirement plans. In fact, 31% of the time "retire" was used in the past 12 months, the CEO departure received a Push-out Score above the critical threshold of 5, indicating elevated pressure.
"Not the result of any dispute"
Staar Surgical stated, regarding the change: "Ms. Mason's retirement is not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company, its Board, or its management, or any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices."
Share price decline since December 2021
The announcement follows a decline in Staar Surgical Co.'s share price of 40% since December 2021.
In the position of CEO since 2015
Caren Mason became CEO of the Company in 2015.
To ensure a seamless transition, Mason has agreed to serve in an advisory role through December 31, 2023.
Mason was elected to Staar's Board of Directors at its 2014 Annual Meeting, and she has served as Staar's Chief Executive Officer since March 1, 2015.
From 2010 to 2012, Mason served as Chief Executive Officer of Verinata Health, Inc. (f/k/a Artemis Health, Inc.), a provider of non-invasive prenatal genetic sequencing tests.
In February 2013, Verinata was acquired by Illumina.
Mason served as the President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Quidel Corporation from 2004 to 2009, a publicly traded company engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of rapid diagnostic solutions at the professional point of care in infectious diseases and reproductive health.
Prior to joining Quidel, Mason provided consultative services from 2003 to 2004 for Eastman Kodak Health Imaging as a result of the sale of MiraMedica, Inc., to Eastman Kodak.
She served as President and Chief Executive Officer for MiraMedica, Inc., an early phase start-up developing computer aided detection software for oncology, from 2002 through 2003.
Prior to her tenure with MiraMedica, Inc., Mason served as Chief Executive Officer of eMed Technologies of Lexington, Massachusetts, a teleradiology and picture archiving and communications systems business.
Mason served as General Manager of the Women's Healthcare business and as a General Manager in various capacities for the Services business of General Electric Healthcare from 1996 to 2000.
Mason's additional healthcare experience includes her tenure with Bayer AG/AGFA from 1989 to 1996 where she last held the positions of Senior Vice President for Bayer Corporate Health Care and Senior Vice President for the AGFA Technical Imaging Business Group.
Mason began her career in healthcare with American Hospital Supply/Baxter Healthcare in sales, marketing and managerial roles from 1977 through 1988.
Mason received her B.A. from Indiana University.
66 words by Caren Mason
In the news release announcing her departure as CEO of Staar Surgical Co., Caren Mason received accolades, praise and thanks.
In the announcement of the leadership change, Caren Mason said 66 words.
"Have great confidence in Tom"
Caren Mason stated: "Serving as CEO of Staar Surgical has been the highlight of my career. I am proud of Staar's accomplishments under my leadership over the past seven years, and I am grateful for the many dedicated professionals around the world who make Staar such a phenomenal company. I look forward to watching Staar's continued success and have great confidence in Tom and the amazing Staar leadership team."
Over the past 12 months, 26% of all outgoing CEOs remained silent in the departure announcement, according to data compiled by exechange. Departing CEOs who did make a statement said an average of 109 words. The longest statement was 382 words. The shortest statement was 23 words. Leadership transitions in which departing CEOs provide conspicuously short, excessively long or no explanations for their move are statistically associated with elevated pressure and show an increased incidence of Push-out Scores above the critical threshold of 5.
33% of CEOs are forced out or fired
When CEO departures are announced, exechange determines the Push-out Score on a scale of 0 to 10 to assess how likely it is that the chief executive was pushed out or felt pressure to leave the position, with 0 being most likely a voluntary move and 10 being most likely a forced exit. Anything over a 5 indicates that there are valid reasons to believe an executive may have been pushed out.
Of the 327 CEO departures in the Russell 3000 Index evaluated over the past 12 months (December 19, 2021, to December 18, 2022), the average Push-out Score was 5.6, according to exechange data. References to conduct issues, disagreements and irregularities lead to the highest Push-out Scores. When time with family, performance issues or other opportunities were cited as departure reasons, the average Push-out Scores were also significantly elevated.
Around 33% of the CEO departure events from the past 12 months received Push-out Scores of 8 or higher.
In other words, in the past 12 months, three in 10 departing CEOs were forced out or fired.
Pressure in the health care sector well above the critical threshold
Some industries are under generally higher pressure than others, and CEOs are feeling the strain. In the past 12 months, the communication, consumer staples and health care sectors showed the highest average Push-out Scores. By contrast, pressure on CEOs was lowest in the real estate, industrials and financials sectors, as measured by average Push-out Scores.
In the health care sector, which includes Staar Surgical Co., the average Push-out Score over the past 12 months was 6.7, which is well above the critical threshold of 5.
In the health care sector, 24 exiting CEOs received Push-out Scores of 8 or higher over the past 12 months, indicating that they were most likely forced out or faced strong pressure to step down.
Closer look at female CEOs
Female CEOs in the U.S. have been found to be more likely to be pushed out than male CEOs. Over the past 12 months, outgoing female CEOs have received an average Push-out Score of 6.4, substantially above the average Push-out Score of 5.6 for outgoing male CEOs.
Female CEOs have a 32% shorter tenure. Women in the role step down after an average tenure of 5.7 years, compared with 8.4 years for men, the exechange data shows, which covers 23 departing female CEOs and 304 departing male CEOs.
On a five-year view, departing female CEOs received an average Push-out Score of 5.8, which was significantly higher than the average Push-out Score of 5.3 for departing male CEOs. This suggests that women were more likely to be pushed out than men, even when using a longer observation period. This is evident from exechange data covering 1,403 CEO departures (84 of them women and 1,319 men) from 2017 to 2021. Female CEOs who announced their departure from 2017 to 2021 had a 26% shorter tenure, exiting after an average of 6.6 years, compared with 8.9 years for men, the exechange data shows.

Albany vs New Hampshire Pick, Preview & Betting Odds For Wednesday, January 25th
Posted by Joe Kiemen | Jan 25, 2023 | College Basketball
Check out our free Albany vs New Hampshire pick and preview for this NCAA Basketball game in Durham. See who we like to win and cover the spread in this College Basketball matchup.
Albany vs New Hampshire Pick & Preview: Wednesday, January 25th Betting Odds
Great Danes vs Wildcats Matchup at a Glance
Sport: NCAAB
Teams: Albany Great Danes at New Hampshire Wildcats
Where: Durham at Lundholm Gymnasium
Date: Wednesday, January 25th
Betting Odds: Albany +5.5, ALBNY +195 | NHAMP -246 O/U 131.5
Great Danes Preview:
Through 21 games, the Albany Great Danes have an overall record of 6-15. So far, the Great Danes have played 13 games on the road, with a record of 3-10. For the season, Albany has been the underdog in 16 games, sitting with a mark of 3-13. Currently, the oddsmakers have the lines set with the Great Danes being +5.5 point underdogs.
Albany will be counting on another strong performance from the team's leading scorer Gerald Drumgoole who is averaging 14.71 points per game for the Great Danes. Drumgoole is also important to the team's ability to score on the perimeter. So far, he leads the team in 3-point shots made. Also key to the Great Danes' offensive game plan is the play of Jonathan Beagle who has hit 51.6% of his field goal attempts on his way to averaging 12.0 points per game.
Offensive production has been hard to come by for Albany this season, as they are currently ranked 438th in college basketball at 61.8 points per game. A major reason for low scoring totals is the fact that they have played at a below average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots. As a team, the Great Danes' 3-point shooting percentage sits at just 32.3%, placing them 351st in the NCAA.
Wildcats Preview:
Heading into today's matchup vs Albany, the New Hampshire Wildcats will be taking the floor for the 19th time this season and have an overall record of 8-10. Currently, the Wildcats have been the home team 8 times, sitting with a record of 5-3. The Wildcats' are sitting with a betting line that is -5.5 points in their favor. For the season, New Hampshire has been favored to win in 3 games, sitting with a mark of 1-2.
Clarence O. Daniels II comes into today's game as the Wildcats' leading scorer at 15.33 points per contest. Not only has II been key to the team's scoring efforts, but he is New Hampshire's top rebounder at 10.44 boards per contest. Behind II, the team has benefited from the strong play of Nick Johnson, who is second on the team in scoring at 13.54 points per game. Overall, he has hit 39.7% of his shots and is adding 5.15 boards per game.
Coming into today's game, New Hampshire will be looking from some improved play from their offense. Currently, the Wildcats are ranked 278th at 68.8 points per game. A major reason for their low scoring mumbers is the fact that they tend to work the clock on offense. This year, they are the 418th ranked team in terms of pace. When looking at their 3-point shooting numbers, New Hampshire is close to the NCAA average at 36.8%.
Free Spread Prediction: Albany Great Danes +5.5
After boiling down all the statistics and trends, it is clear why the oddsmakers have placed the New Hampshire Wildcats as the favorites to win. Not only do the Albany Great Danes have a mediocre record vs the spread at away of late 5-5, but New Hampshire also has the statistical edge in 3-pointers made per game and overall field goal percentage. Yet, our model shows that the current odds of -5.5 points in favor of the Wildcats is too high and there is good value on grabbing Albany vs the spread. While most bettors will likely be piling on the New Hampshire Wildcats as the favorite, we full good about taking the oppsite side and grabbing Albany taking the points.

The fact that you are thinking of hiring a limo to transport you and your friends to a sporting event is proof that you have a taste for the fine things in life. There are many people who do not know this but it is possible to hire a limo to take you to a ball game. There are loads of companies that offer the service. By hiring limousines for sporting events, you are guaranteed of courteous and professional service. The firms that provide the limos for the events hire only skilled chauffeurs. They will pick from wherever, be it at home, the office or park. What is more, they will drop you off at the same place after the trip. Throughout the journey, they will have smiles on their faces.
Antique Limousine of Indianapolis provides different types of vehicles that you can ride in to sporting events. They include the hummer, sedan, SUV, escalade, party buses and coaches as well as stretch limos. Each vehicle is different. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary then you should hire the hummer or the party bus. In addition to comfortable seats with leather upholstery, these vehicles also come with bars that you can stock with your favorite drinks, hard wood floors, televisions and music systems.
When hiring limousines for sporting events, you need to remember that you have it within your right to fire a company if its services are not up to par. From the get go you can easily tell if you will be satisfied with the companies services. When you make the request for the price quotation, check and see how long they take to respond. A company that values its customers will respond instantaneously. Since you will be paying for the services, you do not need to coax a company to do its work. Simply drop it and pick another. After all, there are hundreds of companies that would appreciate your business.
Unless you plan to miss your chosen sporting events, you must always book the limo in advance. While companies will try their best to accommodate you and provide the limousine when you need it, it is best you make your reservations early. Some companies offer discounts and special deals to individuals that make early bookings. This helps you save. For your day to go as planned you must book the limousine two or three weeks before. However, you must remember to call the limo firm a day or two before the event to confirm that your reservation is still intact.
Safety is one of the most important things you need to consider when selecting limousines for sporting events. Your life is the most important thing you have and you should not take chances with it. You need to get to the sporting venue and home in one piece. Check and make certain the limousine company you have chosen has insurance, is licensed and registered. Ask to see the operating license and insurance documents. Any company that cannot produce these at a moment's notice is not worth hiring.


I know I have posted this picture previously but it captures my experience of worship yesterday and the reading from Luke 22. I took this shot (which I edited a bit because it didn't come out really clearly when I shot it) while we were in worship with our friends in South Africa last summer. We were struck by the beauty of the diversity of the elders and leadership at the front as the Lord's Supper was being shared. I had a similar experience of this yesterday as it was the first Sunday of a new congregation (NLCC) beginning to meet at PCW for their worship and community life. We decided that the first Sunday we would each share in the communion services of the others as a sign of the unity in Christ that we share. This second congregation is a "young" congregation (just celebrated their 3rd anniversary) and is a congregation whose focus is on becoming an intentionally multi-ethnic multi-class congregation. So, to have their pastors share in communion in PCW's services and for me to share in communion in NLCC's service, it was a beautiful example of the ways that the Kingdom of God breaks down the walls of division that we have set up between churches.
I was blessed further when I got home to see pictures from a congregation one of my best friends serves as pastor and their welcoming of a guest preacher who shared about the Lord's work in his life coming out of prison and the call that God has put upon his heart. Seeing black and white embracing one another in their services as well was powerful and it was into that context that I read the reading from Luke 22.
In this reading, we have Jesus sharing his last supper with his disciples, breaking the bread and sharing the cup telling them to "do this in remembrance of him." I have to think that God was looking down at these dents that were made in the walls of division yesterday and that God was smiling.


Students for a Free Tibet, Bangladesh (SFTBD), the Bangladesh chapter of the Students for a Free Tibet organization, in partnership with Drik Bangladesh, has organized a photography exhibition on Tibet named "Into Exile | Tibet 1949-2009" at Drik Gallery in Dhaka which was scheduled to start today and run for a week. Drik Bangladesh is an internationally acclaimed photo agency which is led by renowned photo journalist and blogger Shahidul Alam.
It seems like China is surely paying attention. Tomorrow's exhibition in Tibet seems to be in jeopardy with the organizers under serious pressure to cancel the event.
Yesterday a delegation from Chinese embassy came to meet the Shahidul Alam, director of Drik and 'requested' him to cancel the event.
An email from an activist reached us here: 'They also wandered around Drik and asked employees number of questions….
Alam bhai told them not to advise him what to do on his own property. So the exhibition is going on, but we are expecting huge lines of dgfi (military intelligence) and what not on the opening day on Sunday.
As of 6 pm tonight, Special Branch officers reached Drik under the operatives of a certain SI Mijan and demanded to know the name of the contact person for the exhibition. The movement leaders also previously reported various visits to the home of the activists over the past three weeks by the same SI.
7:04 PM Oct 31st: khairul kabir and palash from special branch currently at Drik. want to know names of organisers of Tibet show. I've refused to give it.
The heat is on. OC Shah Alam just phoned me again telling me to stop the show. Threatened to send police if we refuse.
When Mr. Kaifu, instead of showing interest in our sole Chinese member Jessica Lim in the library, insisted that we find a quiet place to talk, I realized it was more than a courtesy call.
He got straight to the point. "We would like you to cancel the Tibet exhibition" he said. Reminding me that Tibet was a part of China, he went on to explain how the Bangladesh China relationship would be affected if the show went on. He also spoke of the many things we could do together, the exhibitions we could bring. About how such a famous organisation like Drik would find many partners in China. It seemed churlish to remind him that my recent application for a visa when I was to judge the TOPS photojournalism contest in China, had been rejected.
As politely as I could, I reminded Mr. Kaifu that ours was an independent gallery. I asked him how he felt he had the right to tell us, what we could show. I invited him to the show and assured him that he would be free to present his own opinion at the opening. We would be happy to show a Chinese exhibition, if the quality was right. He wanted to see the gallery and a colleague showed him around as I went back to the meeting.
It was evening before the phone call from the ministry of culture came in. "China was a friend, you mustn't show pictures of Dalai Lama" the high ranking official went on. "No no we are not talking of censorship, but…" This was followed by some artist who spoke as if he was a friend. I couldn't place either of the callers, though I could place the ministry official by his rank. I could see it was to be a multi-pronged attack.
The Special Branch do like me. They came to visit again. [..] The initial cordial conversation, turned sharp when I refused to divulge the contact details of the organizers. They reminded me of how it would become difficult for Drik to operate in the future if we didn't take the side of the government. I reminded them that I was siding with the law. That the law applied to the police, was an unknown concept to Shah Alam.
Pictures of the turnout of events are available on the DrikNews site which appears to reported at as an attack site. You can ignore the sign (its safe) and see the pictures.
The Chinese government obviously thinks that it has jurisdiction over any content that relates to China where ever in the world it may be displayed. If pressure from the embassy does not work an unofficial cyber attack will be on its way.
Are WE living in BANGLADESH or CHINA??? WHO runs our elected government??? WE or the CHINESE???? We can't even allow any exhibition? Really shame, shame, shame.
Comrades, why are you kow-towing to China and repressing freedom of speech in Dhaka? Yes, I know the old jokes about it raining in Peking and opening umbrellas in Dhaka. But seriously, this was not a government sponsored event. The worst Beijing could have done if you said sorry, we can not intervene, was NOT sell you some more lead-tainted toys.
We thought you took an oath to protect and follow the constitution of Bangladesh first (which includes protecting the freedom of speech of its citizens), not the geopolitical aspirations of China when this really does not matter to Bangladesh.
Sorry, now we know better.
it shows once again real Ugly Face of China. This Dictator has no Border. Wake up Bangladesh. Thank you for Bangladesh student for Free Tibet, keep on your Struggle, Tibet cause is Justice & World obligation. We are with you.
I think that shutting down the exhibition speaks volumes about the political realities of Bangladesh. Cowing to foreign interests, especially over an issue such as Tibet, means that politicians in Bangladesh have their political masters too. As a democratic nation, Bangladeshis should demand their right to have an opinion and continue to hold exhibitions such as these.
Sorry Sam, but "China" is not a dictator, the Chinese government is a "dictatorship". By the way, most, perhaps all Chinese love Tibetan people and its culture, do not like the Communist Party, but they NEVER will concede China's sovereignty over Tibet!
Steven, this is sticking point, before 1951 TIBET was sovereignty country & now occupied country by CCP Dictator, today we tryto educate Banglades, that China didn't like, so we appeal to peoples of Banglades to wake up. Chinese Dictator has No border.
'Uighur journalist Hairat Niyaz was taken from his home on 1 October. On 4 October, police delivered a notice to his family which said he had been arrested for "endangering state security." He is at risk of torture or other ill-treatment.


"The Drop" dropped on Friday Sept 12, 2014. I was able to screen it on Sept 8.
Why am I so late posting? No excuse really, just sheer laziness and multiple screenings and events.
Tom Hardy's obvious sexiness goes without saying. Yowza! However, it's not his sexiness that's grabbing the possible Oscar nod, it's his raw talent.
I've been getting into the habit of not watching trailers before a screening. I want to have fresh eyes so I didn't know what to expect with this movie. I had an idea of what "the drop" meant but I honestly didn't see Tom Hardy's awesome performance coming. He was incredible in LOCKE earlier this year but I thought my starry eyes skewed my perception but his talent is undeniable.
I was so engrossed in the performances of the late James Gandolfini, Noomi Repace and Matthias Schoenaerts, that the plot itself surprised me just a little because I wasn't following where it was going. It's a simple movie. It doesn't overwhelm or try to lead you into a deep world of gambling. It gives you a taste and a twist. Good.
My 13 year old son even enjoyed this movie. It's our number 1 pick of the year so far. I hope it wins something or at the very least, gets nominated.
Big Screen all the way but also a really really good Redbox and wine pick!
I know of this disease personally. My mother had it. I grew up watching the effects. I hope there can be more awareness brought to the struggle of SC.


The recovery , for direct sale or acidulation, of soap is one of the more consistently overlooked profit centers in modern Kraft mills today. Not only does its sale as soap or after acidulation as crude tall oil (CTO) add dollars directly to the bottom line, but its removal from the liquor stream prior to evaporation greatly enhances evaporator performance.
The quantity of soap available for recovery varies quite a bit and is influenced by many factors. However a range of recovery of 200 - 300 lbs. soap/ton of pine pulp can be used in gauging the efficiency of your operation. If you aciduate your soap onsite, this amounts to a CTO production of 100 - 150 lbs./ ton of pine pulp.
The quantity of soap available for recovery at your mill.
The quality of the soap that is presently being recovered and recommendations on how to improve it if needed.
If the quantity presently being recovered is less than should be expected, methods of improvement will be explored.
If your mill acidulates soap and sells CTO, the acidulation operation will be audited as well, to determine if opportunities exist to improve the yield of CTO from the soap being recovered.

Rajasthan is an amazing place, with amazing beauty. There are many good locations to see. One of those is Jaisalmer. Everything wall and every brick is yellow there! And on sale, are these colorful puppets. I sent a print of the first photo below, to the person whose puppet shop this was. He must be happy; I've not received his reply yet.
Beautiful photos. I love these little guys. They are really colorful.
beautiful colours. rajasthan must be a great place to visit for the culture..
I just love the colors and complexity of it all.
We too bought puppets at Jaisalmer... they are really beautiful! and your pics are, as usual, great!
I know that I should not be envious, but it is so hard when you post such beautiful pictures of your travels!
This is so beautiful! I love a colorful post :) This one made me smile. Fantastic Bhavesh!
magnifique les marionnettes, c'est des vrais oeuvres d'art.
Splendid puppets in so pure colours and photographs are very successful!
The colors are so vivid - wonderful photos!
I love them, they are so colourful!
I love those puppets and their colours.
I wish I could visit your country with all the colours and costumes.
Belas fotos cheias de cor.
Oh these brought back so many memories for me! I remember seeing the puppets in Jaisalmer - in the shop next to the one where we spent about 4 hours haggling for a silk painting of an Indian wedding party, which I still have and still love!
I ran out of energy by the time I'd done and couldn't face more haggling for a puppet or I would have bought one!
It won't be wrong to say that Rajasthan is one of the most tradition and culture rich states, being to Rajasthan will be an unforgettable experience.
@ Anonymous: I highly appreciate your contribution here.

Overcombe is just a mile or so from East of Weymouth so plenty of B+B's & camp sites about.
It has a small car park overlooking the beach with a cafe & Second Wind kitesurf/windsurf shop there, along with clean public toilets.
The sea state can be anything from Dead calm to 5ft waves. It works well with the wind from the SE right round to NW. Sou-westerlies can generate quite a bit of swell, good for jumping on Starboard tack but also quite a large shorebreak especially in stronger winds.
Windsurf/Kitesurf shop is shut January and February.
the best i haev ever seen it is 3 ft for surfing, i dnt think that it will ever be good!!!!!
Which is why the guide says it isn't very often good for surfing!!
On beach parking (fees apply) Established SECOND WIND watersports shop and Cafe. Small to medium clean waves excellent 'up market' family attractions, Jurassic Kayak Tours and Cycle hire, Large skate park, nature reserve and walks.
I think Overcombe requires a little bit of clarification.
Kitesurfing skill -expert due to close proximity to the main road, Harbour authority looking closely at this beach regarding suitability, beginners will receive advise from locals to surf in Portland harbour.
Windsurfing excellent for all levels. But please use the facilities provided by Cafe Oasis as they are kind enough to allow the private car park to be used.
Surfing- rare good surf but when its good this place is buzzing!
Kayaking heaven on those balmy sunny days!

The number of poor people continues to rise in Sub-Saharan Africa, despite a slow decline in the poverty rate
Marta Schoch
Christoph Lakner
One reason behind the slowdown in global extreme poverty reduction is the slow progress in Sub-Saharan Africa. The latest estimates show that the regional poverty rate decreased by 1.6 percentage points between 2015 and 2018. This translates to 40% of the population living below the US$1.90-a-day poverty line in 2018 and Sub-Saharan Africa accounting for two-thirds of the global extreme poor population. While the poverty rate has decreased from 56% in 1990 to 40% in 2018 the number of poor continues to rise. In other words, the poverty rate in Sub-Saharan Africa has not fallen fast enough to keep up with population growth in the region and 433 million Africans are estimated to live in extreme poverty in 2018, rising from 284 in 1990.
The Poverty and Shared Prosperity report 2020 shows that the number of poor has also increased at the US$3.20 and US$5.50 lines. While the poverty rate has decreased at the three lines between 1990 and 2018, the number of poor has increased (Figure 1). Poverty reduction has been much slower at the higher lines: between 1990 and 2018 the poverty rate fell 15 percentage points at the US$1.90 poverty line, by 10 pp at the US$3.20 line and by just 3.3 pp at the US$5.50 line. Consequently, the number of poor has risen by 50% at the US$1.90 line and has doubled at the higher lines over the past three decades. Whatever progress has been made in terms of reducing extreme poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa, has not translated into equivalent gains in consumption beyond the US$3.20 threshold.
Figure 1 Poverty rates and number of poor at the three lines, Sub-Saharan Africa 1990-2018
Perhaps even more alarming than having 40% of the Sub-Saharan African population living in extreme poverty in 2018 is the limited progress from such high levels over the past three decades. East Asia and Pacific has seen a remarkable compression in poverty rates over that period, while starting from levels that were not all that different a generation ago. The progress in East Asia and the Pacific, and more recently in South Asia, is evident both at the US$1.90 and US$3.20 poverty lines (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 Poverty reduction at the US$1.90 and US$3.20 lines, selected regions
The slow progress in Africa is also seen at the country-level: the range of poverty rates in Sub-Saharan Africa has barely narrowed between 1990 and 2018, extending from close to 0 to about 80%. This does not mean that individual economies have not seen progress in poverty reduction (in fact, the region as a whole has made some limited progress), but rather that the region still has many economies with poverty rates well above the world average. In fact, 21 of the 45 African economies with poverty estimates available in PovcalNet have a poverty headcount above 40% in 2018.
The Poverty and Shared Prosperity report 2020 discusses how the poor in Sub-Saharan Africa are also more likely to be exposed to the threats of conflict and climate change. The COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to push between 30 to 40 million people into extreme poverty. Africa is also the region that shows the greatest overlaps between monetary and non-monetary dimensions of multidimensional poverty, thus further exacerbating the monetary deprivations reported here. Given the demographic trends and plausible growth scenarios, global extreme poverty will become increasingly concentrated in Africa and without more rapid progress in the region, the 2030 goal of eradicating global poverty will not be reached.

Leaders of the CPC convened in Beijing on Monday for the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, to discuss an economic blueprint that will set the direction for the world's second-largest economy over the next five years.
Sectors including science, technology and culture need to be made more innovative, said the communique.

Q: PHP Looping arrays and inner array data Having a little issue with getting the barcode and sku from this example array
{
  "title": "This is the title",
  "variants": [{
    "barcode": "123456789",
    "sku": "sku1"
  }]
}

PHP
foreach ($products as $product) {

     $products[] = Array(
        "title" => $product["title"], // product title
        "barcode" => $product["variants"]["barcode"], // product barcode
        "sku" => $product["variants"]["sku"] // product SKU
     );
  }

A: Try this hope this should work:
foreach ($products as $product) {

     $products[] = Array(
        "title" => $product["title"], // product title
        "barcode" => $product["variants"][0]["barcode"], // product barcode
        "sku" => $product["variants"][0]["sku"] // product SKU
     );
  }

A: Your data looks like JSON, so you'll need to convert it to a PHP array first:
$products = json_decode($data, true);

Now you can iterate like this:
$product_array = array();
foreach ($products as $product) {

    $product_array[] = array(
       "title" => $product["title"], // product title
       "barcode" => $product["variants"][0]["barcode"], // product barcode
       "sku" => $product["variants"][0]["sku"] // product SKU
    );
}

Notice the added [0] in the foreach loop, as well as the $product_array array (because you were overwriting the $products array in the loop itself). The [0] is to get the first element of the array variants, as there can be more. You could add another foreach loop to iterate them all.
Also note that you already have a complete array after using json_decode. You can check that by just running:
var_dump(json_decode($data, true));

Where $data contains the JSON data you mentioned.
Updated answer with loop inside loop:
$product_array = array();

foreach ($products as $product) {
    // I'm using the name $item, if I used $product it would overwrite the variable in the loop
    $item = array(
        "title" => $product["title"], // product title
        "variants" => array() // for now an empty array, we will fill it in the next step
    );

    // now we fill the empty arrays inside the array above, by iterating all variants
    foreach($product["variants"] as $variant) {
        $item["variants"][] = array(
            "barcode" => $variant["barcode"], // product barcode
            "sku" => $variant["sku"] // product SKU
        );

Yealands sells four vineyards in Marlborough to NZ pension fund for $34m
7th December, 2020 by Arabella Mileham
Marlborough-based Yealands Wine Group has sold four of its vineyards to a taxpayer-owned pension fund for a reported $34m in order to pay off debt and fund growth.
As reported by Stuff.co.nz, the company has sold around 187 hectares of vineyards (named Confluence, Brackenfield, Willow Flat and Medway), which are primarily planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. Although the terms of the deal have not been disclosed, it will include a long-term supply arrangement in which Yealands will buy grapes from the Super Fund, and an agreement to keep Yealands staff employed at the vineyards while the brand portfolio of sustainably produced wines will remain unchanged.
Yealands chief executive Tiffani Graydon said the sale to an "arms-length" New Zealand owned company would provide capital to "reinvent and grow" the business as well as reducing debt.
"It has always been our ambition to be recognised globally as a leader in sustainable winemaking and work is ongoing to maintain our leadership in this area. This land sale is about supporting our business strategy for accelerated growth, while achieving financial sustainability for the future, including debt reduction," she said.
She added that capital from the sale would enable the company to "accelerate" its plans for premiumisation and global growth while retaining quality supply. "The funds will be used to invest in brand growth in the US, UK and Europe, and with the vineyard development we're undertaking in the Awatere Valley, this will result in a considerable net gain in supply for the future," she said.
Profitability has been hit by falling international trade during the Covid-19 pandemic, despite "incredibly strong" demand from the UK and Europe, Graydon said, as well as a challenging harvest.
According to result filed last week by parent company Marlborough Lines last week the total number of grapes processed fell by 6.1% to 20.746 tonnes, while wine sales fell 2.6% to 102m due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the international on-trade. It noted that the initial positive half-year position was "reversed" as wine sales slowed, particularly in the more profitable on-premise sector. Howevre the company noted that "it could have been worse – there was major concern that the COVID-19 driven restrictions would prevent the 2020 grape harvest. However, the harvest was able to proceed as an essential industry."
Group CEO Tim Cosgrove commended the Yealands team, noting the team they not only did a great job completing the harvest but also "executing a strategy to pivot sales channels".
As a result of the fall, Yealands Wine Group didn't pay a divident to the parent company, Marlborough Lines in order to "focus on increasing liquidity within Yealands in uncertain times".
However the directors said the remain "firmly of the view that the investment in the wine industry is sound and that the medium to long-term outlook is bright", pointing to dividends of $19.3m since the initial investment in Yealands Wine Group in 2015. "The book value of the Company's equity in Yealands Wine Group has also increased substantially, largely as a result of valuation uplifts on vineyard assets," the report stated.
The parent company posted revenues down 3% to $147.8 million, with net profit down 33% to $5.6million.
NZ Super, the $50billion pension fund that bought the land said the vineyards were "a valuable addition" to its growing portfolio of rural land across New Zealand which would give it "more access to the successful New Zealand viticulture sector".
Yealands Wine Group, which employs 165 staff and isNew Zealand's sixth largest wine exporter, was founded by Peter Yealands in 2008 but he sold a majority stake in the business to the region's electricity provider, Marlborough Lines in 2015, before acquiring the final 14% in July 2018.
In December that year, the New Zealand company was fined $400k 'for deliberate and deceptive' breaches of Wine Act.

Lens/Lever
This is one of the more concrete pangrammatical homologies I've ever constructed: the lens is to knowledge what the lever is to power. Both are instruments that focus experience. The first, by installing a very specific experience before the eye (an appearance), the second by installing a just as specific experience before the hand (a surface). These are installed as possibilities of, respectively, perception and action.
The instruments are supplemented by mirrors and screens (to define the field of vision) and walls and ramps (to define the field of motion). On this basis we can imagine two vast, connected but distinguishable, "equipmental contextures" or "Zeugzusammenhangen" (as Heidegger might call them): the apparatus of perception (a system of lenses, etc.) and the apparatus of action (a system of levers, etc.).
The apparatus of perception (surveillance) defines what it is possible to see, determining the structure of appearances.
The apparatus of action (leverage) defines what it is possible to do, determining the structure of surfaces.
It is perhaps unnecessary to note the connection to "media". But it should be added that intuition and institution, as pangrammatical elements, are defined as "the media of immediacy", i.e., that through which knowledge and power are immediately present in our lives. They are the sense in which experience is "given" to us, and the motive by which we are "taken" with it.
Finally, note that the traditional (i.e., Kantian) theme of philosophy is the transcendental logic of intuition. The homologue of this theme belongs to poetry: the immanent passion of institution. And this is why politics is to poetry what science is to philosophy.
FlarfEmo is Dead
Does this issue seem familiar? (Note: you have to watch the whole thing; it's about seven minutes long.)
I don't know about you, but I'm learning disturbing things every day.
The Tostian Item
I want to return to Tony Tost's "I Am Not the Pilot" because that is where it all began for me. Since reading that poem, and tracing its relations to what is happening in poetry today, I cobbled together this idea of the "antipalinurian" voice, which proceeds from the slogan gubernator non sum as though having fully overcome the melancholy of Cyril Connolly's The Unquiet Grave. Examples include Drew Gadner's "I Am So Stupid" and "I Feel I Am Searching", Gary Sullivan's "On Speaking in Public", Lara Glenum's "How to Discard the Life You've Now Ruined" and "The Manifestation of Male Hysteria", pretty much anything from Ben Lerner's Lichtenberg Figures, Cynthia Sailers' "Against Interpretation", and, of course, Tony Tost's Invisible Bride.
Reading Leonard Cohen's "Item" today, with Tony's sample from 1001 Sentences fresh in my mind, an important aspect of antipalinurian writing occured to me. Cohen's poem opens like this:
Let the still-born eagle demonstrate
how he avoided the arrow
with its predicament of death: his closed eyes,
his half-formed feathers.
I paused at "the arrow/ with its predicament of death" because it is in many respects a great phrase. The trouble, of course, is that it is strapped into this metaphor, or, more accurately, that it means something. In fact, "Item" goes on to invoke "the hunter" directly, and then makes the explicit connection to "heroes" and "swords" and "battles": "Then let them remember the still-born eagle," etc. In short, Cohen was clearly trying very much to say something with this poem, and therefore ends up obscuring the very predicament of death he deploys.
An antipalinurian poem would not eschew phrases like "the predicament of death", "the darker battle", "the unthinking steel", "the difficult flesh".* Even "the dry field of death" is permissible. But it would avoid letting "half-formed feathers" belong to a still-born eagle. It would begin, not with the image, but the items that compose it. It would scrupulously avoid re-presenting the image that is present to the poet. (Or more precisely: it would avoid presenting the illusion that any image was present to the poet.)
"Kafka liked to draw his terms from the language of law and science, giving them a kind of ironic precision, with no intrusion of the author's private sentiments," said Nabokov in his lectures on "The Metamorphosis". I am not sure that the antipalinurian voice is ironic, and it certainly does not depend on the language of law and science. But it does prevent the intrusion of the author's private sentiments (in the mind of the reader, let us say). It does this by detaching the item from the idea in the construction of the image.
I want to pursue this "item" as the unit of analysis.
*In fact, the seminal antipalinurean work ("I Am Not the Pilot") deploys "the glamorous end of the sword".
Doing my best...
...not to ruin a couple of very good ideas,
I'm using the new tools.
I'm feeling free in the direction of anxiety.

This is the second in a series of guest blogs by the CREATE Lab Team.
That is the big question that we have asked a cohort of twelve diverse teachers in Allegheny County who participated in the exploratory year of the CREATE Lab's "Fluency Project." While we have plenty of data and research that tells us what technology fluency is and how to measure it, and can find plenty of anecdotes about it, we needed to find out how to get there. So real question veiled behind "What is Fluency?" is not a closed-ended question. It's a challenge to shift the way the think about our relationship with technology, each other, and ourselves.
The major things that we learned were about the foundations that must be laid for "fluency" to take place. If the goal of fluency is "the ability to make effective choices and use tools to advance one's understanding and communication" as well as the "ability to manipulate, transform and move information across various media and platforms," how do we get there?
To uncover the journey, I would first point you to the series of blogs and tweets and anecdotes that teachers participating in the project have written over 2016-2017. In there, we find evidence of a deep sense of values and the fruits of their efforts in relationship and trust building, a cultivation of student voice, and some of those victorious moments where we meet the empowered teacher and student. As well as some pretty authentic implementations of tools that served students' learning.
In these questions, we learned that Fluency is a process that lets us go deeper. The license to hack and remix tech plus the opportunity to uncover our sense of purpose. Furthermore, the application of an "inquiry, case-making, advocacy" model means we look at content, materials, and sense-making with a new lens.
In our second year working deeply on this Fluency idea, the first cohort will work on "Spreading Roots" in their educational ecosystems with our support. At the same time, we'll be partnering with elementary educators to apply this lens and to test out all of the ingredients that lay the foundation for a Fluency that will last beyond those victorious moments and will serve students for a lifetime.

How Have We Depicted Madness Throughout History?

Even in an age of science, we cannot escape lunacy's long history of frippery and superstition
Andrew Scull Modern psychiatry seems determined to rob madness of its meanings, insisting that its depredations can be reduced to biology and nothing but biology. One must doubt it. The social and cultural dimensions of mental disorders, so indispensable a part of the story of madness and civilization over the centuries, are unlikely to melt away, or to prove no more than an epiphenomenal feature of so universal a feature of human existence. Madness indeed has its meanings, elusive and evanescent as our attempts to capture them have been.
[Check out Andrew Scull's book "Madness in Civilization: A Cultural History of Insanity, from the Bible to Freud, from the Madhouse to Modern Medicine" at Amazon.com]
Western culture throughout its long and tangled history provides us with a rich array of images, a remarkable set of windows into both popular and latterly professional beliefs about insanity. The sacred books of the Judeo-Christian tradition are shot through with stories of madness caused by possession by devils or divine displeasure. From Saul, the first king of the Israelites (made mad by Yahweh for failing to carry out to the letter the Lord's command to slay every man, woman, and child of the Amalekite tribe, and all their animals, too), to the man in the country of the Gaderenes "with an unclean spirit" (maddened, naked, and violent, whose demons Christ casts out and causes to enter a herd of swine, who forthwith rush over a cliff into the sea to drown), here are stories recited for centuries by believers, and often transformed into pictorial form. None proved more fascinating than the story of Nebuchadnezzar, the mighty king of Babylon, the man who captured Jerusalem and destroyed its Temple, carrying the Jews off into captivity all apparently without incurring divine wrath. Swollen with pride, however, he impiously boasts of "the might of my power," and a savage and jealous God has had enough: driven mad, he "did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagle's feathers, and his nails like bird's claws." The description has proved irresistible to many an artist: above, an unknown German artist working in early fifteenth-century Regensburg provides a portrait of the changes madness wrought upon the sane.
Disease was rife in the ancient, medieval, and early modern world. It was often interpreted through a religious lens, and the spread of Christian belief through pagan Europe was often facilitated by the use of miracles and wonders to demonstrate the power of the Christian God. The ability to cure sick and tortured souls was increasingly brought about by the intercession of saints and martyrs, whose relics were believed to have miraculous power to heal the sick, reanimate the halt and the lame, and restore sight to the blind. The tombs of saints like St. Margaret of Antioch and St. Dymphna of Geel, who had both been beheaded, were popular choices for those seeking relief from mental distress, as was the shrine of St. Thomas à Becket, whose murder in Canterbury Cathedral is here shown in a mid-thirteenth-century codex. The saint's blood was thought to cure insanity, blindness, leprosy, and deafness, not to mention a host of other ailments.
Naturalistic accounts of madness, those that saw its roots in the body, had an ancient lineage as well. Though many in classical Greece and Rome still embraced supernatural accounts of mental disturbance and had recourse to the temple medicine of the god Asclepius, with its purification rites, charms, and spells, others were attracted to the humoral model of disease embraced by the followers of Hippocrates and later systematized by the Graseco-Roman physician Galen—a model of illness, both mental and physical, that would survive in Europe into the nineteenth century. Hieronymus Bosch's satirical painting of The Cure of Folly: The Extraction of the Stone of Folly, which dates from c. 1494, suggests that skepticism about medical claims remained widespread despite physicians' best efforts. A doctor dressed in a dunce's cap uses a scalpel to draw forth the supposed cause of madness from the scalp of a patient.
Though religious interpretations of mental disturbance persisted in both polite and popular circles well into the eighteenth century (and among hoi polloi even longer than that), medical models of mental disorder gradually became the dominant and then almost the only legitimate interpretation of the sources of mental distress. The eighteenth century saw the rise in England, the first consumer society, of a private trade in lunacy. Mad-doctors, as they were then called (the double entendre would later cause specialists in the management of lunacy to search for a more respectable name), marketed their madhouses as ways to save affluent families from the travails and potential disgrace of keeping a lunatic at home, and over time began to claim the ability to cure as well as immure the insane.
The technological inventiveness of the Industrial Revolution was soon extended to devices intended to shock and startle the mad back to their senses. Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin's grandfather, suggested a swinging chair, and soon a variety of such devices were marketed, one promising that by "increasing the velocity of the swing, the motion be[ing] suddenly reversed every six or eight minutes … the consequence is, an instant discharge of the stomach, bowels, and bladder, in quick succession." Others promoted a variety of devices designed to simulate drowning—though sometimes, unfortunately, the drowning proved all too real. And the American mad-doctor, Benjamin Rush, created a special chair, one that "binds and confines every part of the body … Its effects have been truly delightful to me. It acts as a sedative to the tongue and temper as well as to the blood vessels. I have called it a Tranquillizer."
Franz Joseph Gall examining the head of a pretty young girl, while three gentlemen wait in line. Coloured lithograph. By: E. H.Published: 1825
Aristotle had seen the heart as the seat of the emotions and the intellect. By contrast, the Hippocratics saw the brain as their center. The anatomical investigations of the late seventeenth-century Oxford physician Thomas Willis (the man who coined the term neurologie) had given new impetus to the study of the role of the brain and the nervous system, and by the early nineteenth century, few medical men doubted that the etiology of insanity could be traced to disorders of the nerves and the brain. Among the most talented early nineteenth-century anatomists of these organs were the Austrian physicians Franz Gall and J.G. Spurzheim, who viewed the brain as a congeries of organs, each region corresponding to particular psychological functions. They asserted that the relative size of a particular organ was indicative of the strength of a particular mental function and that its size could be increased or decreased through mental exercise, rather as muscles can be developed or can atrophy. As the cranial bones developed, they allegedly conformed to the underlying comparative development of the brain's different parts. Thus, a person's mental capacities could be deduced from the confirmation of the head. Phrenological claims to provide a guide to human capacities and a somatic account of the origins of insanity soon became the butt of ridicule (as can be seen in this caricature, where Gall himself examines the head of an attractive young woman, while three gentlemen wait their turns to have their own characters read). Yet Gall's underlying doctrine of cerebral localization enjoyed a long half life in neurology.
The handful of profit-making madhouses that emerged in the eighteenth century were dwarfed by the Great Confinement of the insane that marked the nineteenth. States all across Europe and North America embraced the asylum solution, prompted in part by the assurances of the medical men who soon monopolized the running of these places that they were architectural contrivances uniquely suited to the management and cure of the mentally disturbed.

Tom Paine's Two Radicalisms
Posted: November 10, 2013 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: History, Politics, Reading Room, Think Tank | Tags: American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Rush, British Empire, England, French Revolution, Myron Magnet, Paine, Thomas Paine, United States | 2 Comments
NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION/ART RESOURCE, NY
And their consequences—for his era and ours
From the Autumn 2013 Edition of City Journal, this is a long article but highly recommended, save this to read at leisure, it's good — Sunday Nov. 10 – The Butcher
Myron Magnet writes: On November 30, 1774, a 37-year-old Englishman—an ex-privateer, ex–corset stay maker, ex–tax collector (fired twice for dereliction of duty), and ex-husband (also twice over)—arrived in Philadelphia with a letter of recommendation from Benjamin Franklin in his pocket. The old philosopher's praise was understandably restrained. This "ingenious worthy young man," Franklin wrote, would make a useful "clerk, or assistant tutor in a school, or assistant surveyor." Four months later, however, the shots that rang out at Lexington and Concord galvanized the newcomer's hitherto aimless life into focus and purpose. "When the country into which I had just set foot was set on fire about my ears, it was time to stir," he recalled. "It was time for every man to stir." And so, adding a final "e" to soften the surname he was born with, he began to write under the byline "Thomas Paine."
Celebrated around the world for his key role in the American Revolution, Paine went on to play an important part in the French Revolution, as well.
He found he had a literary gift that almost instantly turned him into one of history's greatest revolutionary propagandists—not just of one major revolution, as it happened, but of two. But as his thought developed—and except for the Norfolk grammar-school education that ended when he was 13, he was self-taught—his radicalism, so lucid and solidly grounded during the American Revolution, lost sight of the darker realities of human nature. As a result, when he and his close, like-minded friends, the Marquis de Lafayette and United States ambassador to France Thomas Jefferson, plotted reform together in Paris in the fateful final years of the 1780s, they disastrously misread the French Revolution as it gathered and burst forth. While Jefferson luckily went home to America with his illusions intact, Paine and Lafayette both ended up wasted with illness in pestilential prisons, and Paine escaped the guillotine by the most capricious of chances.

Q: Open modal dialog onClick with JavaScript doesn't work I know, this problem is postet here already in 236 variants. But even when I try to use those I understand, I don't get the correct behavior with my script. I have the following code (HTML and JS):

      Testeintrag

    <button id="showInfos"></button>

The button works fine as intended, but the "a href..." doesn't work at all. I already tried all alternatives I could think of, like dont use img's or try a # instead of the javascript: void(0) or like not use a variable dialog but always name it directly, but none worked. In the examples nearly the same code should worked fine. What did I do wrong?

A: I believe the problem is that both "buttons" are using the same ID.  Either change the ID of one of them or switch them both to use classes (or some other selector).
IDs must be unique.

Румя́нцевский ручей (другое название — Родник) — малая река в районе Солнцево Западного административного округа города Москвы, правый приток Сетуни.

Длина Румянцевского ручья составляет 4,2 км (по другим данным 3 км), участок с постоянным течением — 2,5-3 км, площадь водосборного бассейна — 4-5 км². Исток реки расположен на востоке деревни Дудкино. Водоток проходит на запад через деревенские пруды, по открытой местности течёт в Румянцево, где пересекает Киевское шоссе и впадает в Румянцевский пруд. Далее протекает в районе Солнцево вдоль Родниковой улицы около двух километров, затем впадает в Сетунь. Улица получила своё наименование по второму названию реки, которое дали местные жители — Родник.

После прокладки водопроводной сети в Румянцево и поступления городских стоков из Солнцева Родник стал многоводнее. Его питание осуществляется за счет родниковых и сточных вод.
