Co-op's slavery statement 'sends important message to suppliers'
posted by Will Green
in Ethics, Law, Procurement
The Co-op has been held up as an example of how firm's should be tackling the problem of modern slavery.
In its first slavery statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2015 the Co-op has outlined how it sources, the clauses it uses in contracts and the steps it takes to audit suppliers. It also describes how the Co-op helps former slaves into work.
The 10-page statement outlines the Co-op's ethical policies, its supplier approval process and how it carried out 444 audits in 2016. Of 2,223 issues raised, 16 breached its code on employment being freely chosen.
The Co-op's ethical trading monitoring programme covers 1,773 sites across 69 countries and six continents. It has identified eight "focus" countries, the UK, Spain, Egypt, Italy, Morocco, South Africa, Thailand and Kenya, due to their strategic importance and "increased risk of labour standards issues including modern slavery".
The statement said: "Our expectation for suppliers to meet ethical trade requirements and tackle modern slavery is integrated into supplier contracts and approval processes.
"We have a long history of strong relationships with our suppliers – 75% of our suppliers have traded with us for over five years. We are seeking to stabilise further all relationships through longer-terms contracts especially within the key areas of produce and protein, which will enable suppliers to reduce their reliance on agency labour and invest in their workforce and labour standards."
The Co-op said it provided training for suppliers and it planned to develop a new procurement academy and roll out a business-wide training and awareness plan on ethical sourcing.
Cath Hill, group marketing director at CIPS, said: "The Co-op's modern slavery statement is an excellent example of what organisations should be doing to combat this important issue.
"The robust governance, policy development and due diligence processes have provided them with a solid foundation for addressing labour infringements in their supply chain. This sends an important message to their suppliers on how the Co-op expect to do business. UK Plcs have a lot to learn from the Co-op."

Mission to battle food wastage and hunger
Feeding India, an award-winning non-profit organisation working towards solving the challenges of food wastage, hunger and malnutrition, is now a part of the Zomato family.
After witnessing the magnitude of food wastage in a wedding, Ankit Kawatra quit his job and founded Feeding India along with Srishti Jain in 2014. Since then, the team with its five sustainable programs has been working towards picking up excess food and redistributing it to people across hunger spots in 65 cities in India. Till date, Feeding India has served 20 million meals through its 12 food recovery vans.
Deepinder Goyal, Founder & CEO, Zomato, said, "We have so far, taken environmental issues head-on with non-plastic initiatives like preventing the consumption of single-use plastic cutlery and promoting biodegradable packaging for food delivery. As we welcome Feeding India into the Zomato family, we will take this battle a notch higher by helping them build a system where excess food is directed to those in need."
"As a start, we aim to activate the restaurants on our platform into the Feeding India network and help them use technology to scale their volunteer operations. Feeding India will become a core part of our DNA and a significant step in our mission to ensure 'better foodfor more people'. My many conversations with Ankit and Srishti have convinced me of our belief in a shared mission, and I am confident that together we will make a positive impact on food wastage and hunger."
Zomato and Feeding India will together target every source of food wastage – farms, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, corporates and events. The Zomato network will plug into Feeding India's already existing models that focus on sustainably feeding the many who sleep hungry every night.
"Our ambitious aim is to end hunger and food wastage not just in India, but globally. I'm delighted to strengthen this movement with Zomato, given its vision of 'better food for more people' and our shared mission to combat hunger and food wastage. We see this collaboration as a pivotal step against food insecurity," added Ankit Kawatra, Founder, Feeding India.
Feeding India not only donates excess food from various sources including events, airports, weddings, restaurants, corporates, etc. that would otherwise go to landfills but also cooks fresh food through innovative kitchen-models to support people, especially women and children, with limited access to food and nutrition. Over the last four years, the organisation has been recognized by the Queen of England, the United Nations World Food Program and even by the Prime Minister of India.
Zomato, as a Food Co., aims to solve for every step of the food value chain. Its initiatives like HyperPure and Hygiene Ratings are focused on the quality of food and transparency. With biodegradable packaging and pro-environment messaging, Zomato actively engages in behaviour change. Its reward points program, Zomato Piggybank, has helped raise funds equivalent to 22 lakh meals.

Lana Del Rey's upcoming Lust for Life album still doesn't have a release date, but this week the Grammy-nominated singer unveiled the album art via Instagram. The cover art follows a black-and-white trailer for the album she tweeted out last month and the first single, "Love," which set the blogosphere ablaze back in February. Where those two pieces followed the dark, Americana-inspired style fans have come to expect from Del Rey, the cover photo is a plot twist in the Lust for Life storyline.
On the cover of the new album, Lana Del Rey poses in front of an old pickup truck with flowers in her hair, a clear throwback to Woodstock-era "flower child" imagery. For the first time in her career, the singer appears in a cover photo smiling brightly at the camera, and the portrait feels warm and nostalgic for a simpler time in America.
But if we've learned one thing about Del Ray, it's that her throwbacks rarely arrive without a haunting twist. After watching the album trailer and the dark video for "Love," it's hard not to wonder if the singer's cover photo smile is meant to look more like an eerie mask than a bundle of joy, hinting at the turmoil we might find in the songs underneath. After all, the "peace and love" of the hippie 1960s often spoke directly to chaotic struggles over the Vietnam War, civil rights, and a rapidly changing America. It's hard to ignore how Del Rey's picture of that past moment might speak to the present moment in this country as well.
Lana Del Rey is usually mysterious in rolling out new material, and the lead up to her new album certainly fits the bill. As we wait for her to announce a release date, it seems clear that only the music on Lust for Life will fully reveal what kind of American picture she wants to paint us in 2017.

Entry Period for ISRI 2021 Safety Awards is Now Open
Recognizing and rewarding the recycling industry's best in demonstrating core safety values
(Washington, DC) – The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) announced today that the entry period for both the 2021 Transportation Safety Awards and the Circle of Safety Excellence™ (COSE) Occupational Awards is open. The Transportation Awards, sponsored by the RecycleGuard® Insurance Program, now in its ninth year, recognizes those with a superior record of safety in the field of transportation. The COSE Occupational Awards recognize COSE member companies for an outstanding commitment to the safety of their employees by instilling core safety values and exhibiting continuous improvement in safety programs and worker incident reduction.
"The need for good driving habits and driver safety directly impacts not just the individual driver of a company, but the public at large," said Commodor Hall, ISRI's senior director of safety. "Those that demonstrate safety as a core value above and beyond others in how they drive, train staff, and maintain vehicles should be recognized for their efforts. Both of these awards recognize those who raise the bar when it comes to safety through the implementation of innovative and effective safety programs.
The Transportation Safety Awards include:
The Best Fleet Awards will be presented to the ISRI member with the lowest vehicle crash rate for the 2020 calendar year in each of four classes, determined by vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
The Pacesetter Awards will be granted to the ISRI member with the lowest 36-month combined crash rate in each of the four classes, determined by VMT.
The Driver of the Year Award will be awarded to the commercial vehicle driver with the best 20-year safe driving record. The winner will receive $500, trophy, leather jacket, and will be honored virtually during the ISRI Annual Convention & Exposition in April of 2021.
The ISRI Golden Wrench Award will be given to the best commercial vehicle maintenance technician or manager who exhibits outstanding efforts, achievements, and contributions to ensure that commercial vehicles are safe on the road. The winner will be honored virtually during the ISRI Annual Convention & Exposition in April of 2021.
COSE is an initiative offered by ISRI to help improve worker, vehicle, and facility safety within the recycling industry. The COSE members consist of like-minded companies which voluntarily come forward to share best practices and safety data for the betterment of their own safety operation, and at the same time be recognized by ISRI for their commitment to safety.
The COSE Awards include:
The Best-in-Class Award will be granted to the COSE member company or facility with the lowest OSHA Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) for the 2020 calendar year.
The Superior Achievement Award will be granted to the COSE member company or facility that has achieved an OSHA TRIR of .75 or less for the 2020 calendar year.
The Rising Star Award will be granted to the COSE member facility that has achieved an OSHA TRIR of 2.65 or less for the 2020 calendar year.

Monza, just north of Milan is an infamous motor racing circuit which, in 2017, hosted the final stage of the Giro d'Italia - a time trial. At the end of a Grand Tour, arguably the start line becomes more important to the majority of the peloton than the finish line. With the Monza Milano design, we recognise this value and sense of accomplishment riders feel, lifting the iconic colours and markings found on the Monza's start line.

Steve Hewitt [unedited] Music Review
Posted on March 23, 2019 March 24, 2019 by John Cronin
Steve Hewitt
(Original UMB Review)
Steve Hewitt may have inspired me to create a new Spotify playlist called "<1k". The playlist would contain songs like Misery and Pushing ME Away that are unique, creative, and have a complex sound to them. Right now it's an idea, but an idea that I really really want to make happen.
Music has always been played in the background by Steve's dad, such as Elton John, Dean Martin etc… "It wasn't til I heard Buddy Holly that I started to take real notice. After a year or so listening to Buddy Holly's solo riffs I wanted to play guitar", Steve tells me. Ironically like Buddy Holly, his music is about his and other people's life. He believes that "if you can't feel it if it ain't real", and this saying also drives his songs as well. With ages ranging from 15 to 60 years old, his fan base is growing but slowly he tells me.
"Well I'm terrified of being predictable, so I like to touch on different genres and experiment with different guitar tunings. I want to make sure I always have a good message that people can relate too."
I like to think of Steve's sound as eclectic, complex, mature, and much less of that of what I have come to expect of artists with a small following. With that said, it is definitely not fit for a simple song. In my opinion, this was what Life Stories EP was, a simple experiment with simple songs… That is why I don't like the album and I am not trying to put him down, I just don't think that it was a good fit for him. I think a good fit for him is the album Living On Faith and his single Pushing Me Away, all of those songs define his sound. It looks like he's not looking back with the release of his latest single, and this is encouraging.
"Each time you talk, all I hear. Words without heart, concealed with fear. "
Pushing Me Away
This interview, like the ones I have reviewed as of recently, are out of date. With that said, I really have no idea what is to come from Steve. He is doing pretty well, and I am actually becoming a big fan of his music. I will definitely keep you guys updated on social media!
I would like to thank Steve for the continued communication, and thank him for waiting for this long overdue review. I am happy to see that Steve has reached above 1k likes on Facebook and is continuing to stay true to his sound. I am looking forward to hearing more from him.
Pushing Me Away (2018)

Overall: 4.7/5
Pushing Me Away: 5/5

Instead of just being demo dollies, SEs or Sales Engineers come in all sorts of different types and roles. Some sales organisations need many of the same kind, while other organisations need or have a variety of different roles. For many SEs, these descriptions may overlap or be interchanged, however in other organisations there is a strict demarcation of the roles.
The SME is somebody who has a large body of experience in a narrow field - narrower than the full set of solutions. This SE will be brought in for particular deals when it requires domain knowledge or a specialist's touch. To become an SME, the SE needs to grow their knowledge in a particular area, so that deals that fit the mold will be brought to them. Sales reps will value their knowledge in the particular field and they will be first choice. Some SMEs are in very high demand and command higher salaries due to their special domain knowledge.
SMEs also are typically rewarded based on the success of their key product area.
A generalist is the opposite of the SME. Their job is to be able to go to any meeting and be able to add value across a large variety of different product offerings. In some cases they will be able to suggest a solution directly, and in other cases they will bring in an SME. Some Generalists also are able to fill the role of an SME in several fields, and therefore can also be very highly paid. Also Generalists can also progress to a variety of different roles in an organisation. A good generalist needs to keep all of their areas of knowledge to an acceptable level.
A Solution architect is an SE who is much closer to the customer, in understanding a particular industry or enterprise's business problems, and be able to suggest solutions that would help solve them. They tend to be much more customer focused, and may run the risk of going native. A good Solution Architect knows how to combine different products and services to solve particular business problems and knows how they fit into the customer's environments. A Solution Architect is much less concerned of the normal use of the product, and much more in tune with what problem the customer is trying to solve.
A Systems engineer is more focused on the technical angle. For some industries it is very important to have highly detailed, technical specifications of products, parts and services. A Systems engineer has a strong understanding of all of the elements of a solution, both the parts belonging to their company and other vendors involved.
A Technical Sales Rep is practically no longer an SE, but rather a sales rep who is technical enough to own any technical evaluation or sale. It is normally used when the product for sale is already well understood by the customer, or commoditised enough to sell based on spec.
A product evangelist is the marketing boundary of Sales engineering. They work with marketing at attending conferences, public demonstrations or webinars and may assist on the direct sales side at times.
Technical channel managers are the SEs who go out and skill up a channel of resellers and partners to sell the products. They require many of the above SE skillsets but also a capability to teach and train. A TCM however will usually get less time directly in front of customers and therefore need to support the partners in order to win business.
Finally a Technical Account Manager works with existing accounts, trying to find new business problems to solve, or find ways of selling more product or services into the existing projects. Sometimes TAMs work in the support organisation or the services organisations, but their role is important at selling more product.

Harris rallies with Newsom to send a message to female voters in final days of California recall campaign
By Maeve Reston, CNN
Updated 5:17 PM EDT, Wed September 8, 2021
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Vice President Kamala Harris wave during a campaign event at the IBEW-NECA Joint Apprenticeship Training Center in San Leandro on Wednesday.

San Leandro, California CNN —
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been doing everything he can to persuade women to vote "no" on the Republican effort to oust him in Tuesday's recall election, and in Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday he got his most high-profile surrogate to date to help deliver that message.
The former California senator, who remains enormously popular among Democratic women and progressive voters of color, argued that the national consequences of this election could be huge if Newsom is replaced by a Republican.
"You have to understand that this recall campaign is about California, and it's about a whole lot more," Harris said, trying to nationalize the race by voicing her outrage about the conservative agenda, particularly Texas' restrictive abortion law that went into effect last week.
In her biggest political event since she and President Joe Biden won the 2020 election, Wednesday's rally also gave the vice president the chance to test-drive a midterm election message for the White House, following weeks of tumult for the administration and some early criticism of her performance.

A Q&A about the California recall with the man who helped Schwarzenegger win the last one
Amid confusion over California's two-question recall ballot, Newsom's strategy frustrates some other Democratic candidates
She repeatedly denounced the efforts of GOP-controlled legislatures curtailing voting and abortion rights, pointing to "what's happening in Texas, what's happening in Georgia, what's happening around our country with these policies that are attacking women's rights, reproductive rights and voting rights, workers' rights. They think if they can win in California, they can do this anywhere."
For Newsom, this race is all about turnout, not persuasion, and he has long had a strong advantage among women. With Harris' help Wednesday, his team is trying to get Democratic women to return their ballots in droves to maintain the strong advantage they are already seeing in the partisan registration of the more than 6.4 million pre-Election Day ballots cast so far.
In the face of concerns about Democratic apathy, nationalizing the race has been a key Newsom strategy, with Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota carrying that message when they campaigned with him last weekend.
Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, the leading GOP candidate to replace him, has given Newsom a distinct foil in making that nationalized argument. The hope among Newsom allies is that registered Democratic voters, who outnumber GOP voters by nearly 2 to 1 in the state, will be turned off by Elder's positions and will return their ballots, making up for the enthusiasm advantage Republicans have enjoyed in this contest.
Newsom delved into Elder's past derogatory comments about women on Wednesday, including his denial that there is a glass ceiling – and said Harris would be surprised to hear those views: "He doesn't believe there's a glass ceiling – tell that to Kamala Harris, who did shatter the glass ceiling for vice president," Newsom said.
The governor asked the crowd to imagine what would have happened when Harris vacated her US Senate seat to join the Biden administration – a nod to the power he had, as governor, to replace her with another Democrat in the Senate.
"What kind of judges would Larry Elder appoint as Governor of California? Who would he have appointed 10 months ago to replace Kamala Harris when she became vice president? What would that have done in Washington DC today? Would there have been (a) stimulus? Would there be Majority Leader Chuck Schumer? Think of the consequences, California. That's what's at stake."
In the final days of the campaign, Newsom is driving the message that this is "a life or death" choice because of the spread of the Delta variant and Elder's opposition to vaccine and mask mandates. Advisers to Newsom argue that contrast has dramatically changed the contours of the race, because most Californians agree with Newsom about the need for vaccine and mask mandates in certain situations.

Alluding to Elder's opposition to such mandates, Newsom said on Wednesday that Elder would "walk us off that same Covid cliff as Texas, and Florida, Tennessee and Alabama and Georgia." He suggested that Elder would sign an executive order eliminating vaccine verification for health care workers and mask-wearing for kids in public schools. (Elder said in an interview with CNN last week that he would not have power over the mask rules of local school districts).
"This election is a choice about life and death. It's true California has among the lowest case rates in America, and among the highest vaccination rates in America. Because we believe in science. We believe in public health," Newsom said. "That is on the ballot in the next week."
Newsom advisers think that message is working. Democrats, who might have otherwise tossed their ballots in the trash ahead of an odd-year election with the resurgence of the pandemic and wildfires coursing across the state, have been alarmed by Elder's opposition to mask and vaccine mandates, his support for former President Donald Trump and his past comments about immigration, LGBTQ rights and racism.
Right now – as a snapshot in time – Newsom's advisers say that turnout could be on pace to match a presidential election if voters keep returning ballots at the current pace. That could be a boon for Newsom in a state where President Joe Biden beat Trump by almost 30 points. But Newsom's advisers are still bracing for huge Election Day turnout among Republicans – and that has kept the race unpredictable.
So far, about 53% about of the ballots cast before Election Day have come from registered Democrats and 25% from registered Republicans, according to the latest data from Political Data Inc., a firm that does work for Democrats, nonpartisan and progressive groups.

Bahamian priest is a sensation at St. Gregory revival
Something out of the ordinary happened during this fall's revival at St. Gregory the Great, Baltimore.
Attendance grew each day of the three-day revival, a distinct contrast from previous years, when participation diminished with each consecutive assembly.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that the crowds grew the same year we had Father Elvado (Romando Gregory Turnquest of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas) leading the fall revival," said Monsignor Damien Nalepa, pastor of St. Gregory. "He has such a magnetic appeal and approach. I think the people who attended the first night went home and started telling their friends what a great experience it was."
Ordained just two years ago, the 33-year-old associate rector of St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, Nassau, was invited to lead the Oct. 15-17 revival when Monsignor Nalepa and parishioners from the church made one of their regular pilgrimages to The Bahamas earlier this year.
"There was something electrifying about (Father Turnquest) and I just knew he would bring something special to our revival," he said. "He involves the choir, the staff and the people in the pews in his Masses, and his sincere manner is gripping and inspirational."
Though separated by an ocean, the two parishes have a long collaborative history.
The St. Francis Xavier Cathedral Choir made the journey to Baltimore several times in the 1990s to perform at St. Gregory and Monsignor Nalepa has been taking groups of parishioners to the Bahamian church for spiritual pilgrimages for two decades.
Humbled when tapped to lead the 2007 Fall Revival, Father Turnquest said he was honored to make his first trip to Baltimore, but a little nervous about taking the reins of the annual event.
Themed "Get to Stepping with Jesus," the young priest said he was overwhelmed by the warm reception he received by the West Baltimore congregation and bolstered by the growing turn out each night.
He encouraged the congregation to get to know themselves, understand their shortcomings, forgive themselves and prepare to receive God's grace.
"It's about forgiving ourselves and the people around us," Father Turnquest said. "We sometimes don't allow God to forgive us. We hold ourselves bound to a lot of crap. We have to release ourselves from those sins."
Though Catholics regularly recite the portion of the "Our Father" prayer that asks God to "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us," he said people often don't embrace its true meaning.
"It's a hard gospel to accept," Father Turnquest said. "If we don't forgive, then we are holding ourselves bound to anger and revenge and it makes a home in our heart and it destroys us."
Forgiveness is a freeing experience he said can be done in the confessional or through a host of other sacraments. "When we clean our lampshades, we see the light. Then, we will shine brightness."
Drawing crowds of nearly 300 by the end of the event, Father Turnquest said his first experience leading a revival will not be his last and Monsignor Nalepa said he will call upon his young colleague to return for an encore.
"He fit in so powerfully," the parish pastor said. "He was received as our brother and our friend."
The Catholic Review is the official publication of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.


Only a couple days left for the current Blogstakes contests. Win a three-book collection from The Onion or a hard-shell CD case. It couldn't be easier to get entered if you already have a blog — just add a link to one or both of the contests somewhere on your site where others will find it. Nothing else required is from you. Someone reading your site clicks the link you made, they fill out a simple form on Blogstakes. If they win, you win too. Two girls for every — no, scratch that — I mean: two winners for every prize.
In fact, there couldn't be any better testament for how easy it is to win than to read these four words: "I was a winner." That's right, Blogstakes changed my life. Now I can finally pay off all my debt, buy a second home, and send my future kids to college. Well, ok, that's a slight exaggeration. Technically, I wasn't, the winner. This other guy was the winner. But because he was the winner, I was a winner too. Confused?
All I did was add a Recent Link to Blogstakes. Michael Howland followed the link from Stopdesign, registered, then won a free BrowserCam account for a year. Since he was referred by a link on Stopdesign.com, I won too. How easy is that? And how cool that I get to use BrowserCam over the next year for free? (I promise a more complete review of BrowserCam to come later.) I can't say I've won many things in my life, except for maybe some free fries from McDonald's in their Monopoly contests when I was a kid. There's certainly been no "grand prize" before this one. Maybe it's just the start of a string of good luck to come.
So add your links now. Contest for The Onion book set ends Thursday 15 January, and the CD case contest ends the following day.
Sidenote of interest: Michael, my co-winner of this latest BrowserCam blogstakes is in the U.S. Army National Guard. His unit was recently activated in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, so the kind folks at BrowserCam are holding his account until his activation orders are complete. Godspeed Michael — if you had to go over there, may you come back home safe and soon.

Pixies – Bossanova (2020 reissue)
August 9, 2020New Arrivals
On Limited Edition Red Vinyl!
2020 marks the 30th Anniversary of Bossanova, the third studio album by beloved Boston alt-rockers the Pixies.
Their third album in as many years, 1990 was a particularly fertile time for the band with Kim Deal also having success with The Breeders, who released their debut album Pod just a few months prior.
Featuring the singles 'Allison' (a tribute to jazz and blues pianist Mose Allison), 'Dig For Fire' and 'Velouria', plus the first cover to feature on one of their albums 'Cecilia Ann' (originally by The Surftones), Bossanova showed a less primal side to the band, with surf and space rock rising to the fore. Lyrically, Black Francis is even more cryptic with a recurring sci-fi theme running throughout, which in turn influenced Vaughan Oliver's classic planet design for the sleeve.
To celebrate Bossanova hitting its third decade, 4AD are releasing a limited red vinyl edition with the original 16-page booklet being reinserted, having previously only been available with the initial UK LP pressing.

China's 'missing girls' theory likely far overblown, study shows
George Diepenbrock
gdiepenbrock@ku.edu
Follow @@gdiepenbrock
LAWRENCE — It's common for media and academics to cite the statistic that China's one-child policy has led to anywhere from 30 million to 60 million "missing girls" that has created a gender imbalance in the world's most populous nation.
But a University of Kansas researcher is a co-author of a study that has found those numbers are likely overblown and that a large number of those girls aren't missing at all — it was more of an administrative story that had to do with how births are registered at local levels in China.
"People think 30 million girls are missing from the population. That's the population of California, and they think they're just gone," said John Kennedy, associate professor of political science. "Most people are using a demographic explanation to say that abortion or infanticide are the reasons they don't show up in the census and that they don't exist. But we find there is a political explanation."
The 2010 Chinese census found the sex ratio at birth was 118 males for every 100 females. Globally the average is about 105 males to 100 females. In 2015, Chinese state media announced all couples would be allowed to have two children, signaling the end of the controversial 35-year-old policy, but scholars and policymakers are examining how the ban could have lasting social influence in China on everything from elderly care to political stability.
Kennedy and co-author Shi Yaojiang, of Shaanxi Normal University in China, have analyzed statistics and found that a combination of late registration and unreported births explains a larger portion of the "missing girls" than previously reported in Chinese sex-ratio-at-birth statistics. Their findings are published this month in the journal China Quarterly.
The researchers believe local government officials informally worked with farmers and acknowledged that they couldn't fully enforce the one-child policy. Instead they made tacit agreements in allowing families to have extra children in exchange for social stability in their communities. The cadres, or local governments, would then under-report "out of plan" births that ultimately influenced the national population statistics.
"There is no coordination between cadres saying 'we're all in agreement,'" Kennedy said. "Actually it's just very local. The people who are implementing these policies work for the government in a sense. They are officials, but they are also villagers, and they have to live in the village where they are implementing policies."
Kennedy and his co-researcher's work began in 1996 when they interviewed a villager in the northern Shaanxi province and discovered that he had two daughters and a son. The farmer referred to the middle daughter as "the nonexistent one."
Kennedy said since the mid-1980s, villagers could legally have a second child if the firstborn was a girl.
"We noticed that qualitatively when we interviewed villagers and higher- and lower-level officials everybody had a tacit understanding that yes, millions of girls and some boys, too, were allowed to be unregistered, and then these children appear in the population statistics as older cohorts at junior high school age and marriage age," said Kennedy, whose research focuses on social policy and change in China.
To supplement the qualitative data, the researchers then examined Chinese population data by cohort, and they compared the number of children born in 1990 with the number of 20-year-old Chinese men and women in 2010. In that cohort, they discovered 4 million additional people, and of those there were approximately 1 million more women than men.
"If we go over a course of 25 years, it's possible there are about 25 million women in the statistics that weren't there at birth," Kennedy said.
Much media coverage has focused on potential social problems stemming from a "marriage squeeze" where men sizably outnumber women.
"If 30 million women are truly missing, then there's going to be more males than females of marriageable age as they start looking for wives. There is nothing more socially unstable than a bunch of testosterone with nowhere to go," Kennedy said.
However, he said their findings about under-reported births at the local level seem to explain why the marriage squeeze may not be as pronounced as previous scholars suggest.
Otherwise, their study provides more insight into how local villages and cadres operated. Diplomatically people have likely viewed the Chinese negatively, thinking villagers would be willing to kill their daughters to comply with the law, but Kennedy said this explanation about under-reported births would make more sense.
As the government has moved to end its one-child policy, some believed the Chinese government might view their research findings as a positive spin, Kennedy said, but for about 15 years it was too politically sensitive to publish, especially for his co-researchers who lived in China.

Hackers can turn smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs into surveillance tools by exploiting their built-in microphones, according to a new study out of the University of Washington. With the device hijacked, the attacker can detect body position and movement of people within its vicinity, raising additional concern about the security of smart devices, which made the news earlier this year with revelations about the ease with which they can be comprised.
Gollakota and his team used software called CovertBand, which allows a smart device to double as a remote-controlled sonar system, by taking advantage of a device's built-in speaker and microphone. The researchers manipulated the devices to play modified music and the software could then analyze reflected sounds to track body movements and position.
The UW team hid the subtle chirp in songs by artists like 2Pac and Michael Jackson, which you can hear here. The chirps are slight but not always indistinguishable. In the study, listeners could identify the edited songs 58 percent of the time.
Using CovertBand the researchers were able to detect multiple individuals within the same room as the device and even behind barriers, such as thin walls. Without barriers they could detect a walking individual about twenty feet away with an error of around seven inches. Through a thin wall that distance decreased by about half.
Though the idea is unsettling, this isn't the most secretive surveillance technique — an attacker has to literally play music for it to work. If someone tried this on your home smart TV, you'd surely notice. It nonetheless demonstrates the potential for such devices to be exploited in private or public spaces.
The researchers will present their report next month at the Ubicomp 2017 conference.

Seedrs self-crowdfunds and expands into Europe
Hayden Richards
Crowdfunding start-up Seedrs managed to do two things this week. The first was establishing its credibility as a crowdfunding platform, and the second was raising £1 million cash injection in a single day using its own site. The crowdfunding platform allows investors to take a tiny slice of start-up companies from as little as £10. Launched more than a year ago, 48 startups have received seed capital through the platform and more than £2.3 million has been raised. In October, Seedrs launched the first-ever crowd investment 'fund' which offers UK investors the chance to take a stake in 10 companies with a single investment.
The 10 startups will be participants in a soon-to-launch incubator for internet-based tech companies called WebStart Bristol. Seedrs offers a full-service, FCA-authorized investment platform for investing in startup online.
The British crowdfunding platform is also expanding across Europe. This will give UK investors the opportunity to invest in European startups as well as local businesses. Seedrs provides a straightforward, transparent process for entrepreneurs to raise seed capital for their businesses from friends and independent investors, and for individuals to invest in the shares of startups they choose from those listed on the site.
Seedrs's fees are simple. There are only two charges. The first is a fee of 7.5% of any amount that is actually raised by the entrepreneur through the platform, which is paid by deducting this fee from the amount raised before the balance is transferred to the company. There is no 'pay to pitch', and if the startup doesn't succeed in raising the money it is looking for, then everyone walks away and no fees are paid by anyone. The second charge is a 7.5% fee levied on any returns that investors receive above their original investment, whether through the proceeds of a sale, dividends or other payments from the startup to the investors. Any returns paid to the investor up to the amount of his or her original investment are paid free of any charge.
Though the plan was to originally list itself on its site to raise £500000 million for international expansion, Finextra has reported that the start-up managed to raise at least £750,000 in a single morning which demonstrates the faith and strength of the platform. Finextra also said "up to 220 investors pledged funds for a stake in the business, with £100,000 coming from a single user". This has since increased to £1m.
Speaking to thisismoney, CEO Jeff Lynn observed, 'We've grown at a remarkable pace, since we began opening up early stage investing for people who want exposure to asset classes that were previously reserved for the very rich'. Jeff says the decision to raise money through his own platform demonstrates his faith in the power of equity funding. Indeed.

The Heavenly Voice Of Cynthia Clawson
Posted byburtonmedia7	 August 11, 2020 1 Comment on The Heavenly Voice Of Cynthia Clawson
Ever been around a really good singer, who really, really wanted people to notice how good they were?
We all have. Makes you appreciate those great voices filled with love, as opposed to pride.
Ever liked a record, then listened again years later and found a new level of appreciation?
Both questions come into play on this, my seventh post answering the album challenge, talking about records that influenced me.
Today it's the 1979 album "It Was His Love" by Cynthia Clawson on Triangle Records.
Clawson is no cookie-cutter Nashville singer "product." Hers is "The most awesome voice in gospel music," according to Billboard magazine.
The tonal nuance Clawson can get from her voice, most people would have a tough time coaxing from a sax or violin.
But Clawson's approach is such that it is easy to overlook how brilliant her vocal performance is. Back in the day, I missed it. Her talent underscores the gospel message in her songs.
It's not, "hey, look at me," it's "hey, look at Jesus!"
The marriage of such a spectacular voice and the greatest message ever conveyed is nothing short of Heaven-blessed.
She started singing at age three. She has won five Dove awards and the 1981 Grammy for "best gospel performance, contemporary or inspirational."
The website discogs.com classifies "It Was His Love" in the "funk/soul, pop" genre, which makes me laugh out loud. There is no funk on this record, trust me.
To cut the website some slack, Clawson is so versatile she is hard to classify. And, you do have to consider the song "Ain't It The Gospel Truth."
That song has one unmistakable marking of disco, the so-called "four-on-the-floor" rhythm pattern (drum beat on the on beats, cymbal on the off beats). But it can hardly be mistaken for "Ring My Bell."
Only by "reviewing" the record by listening to just this song can you get "funk/soul" from it. Even that is a stretch.
So if the set isn't funk, what is it? Well Clawson can handle anything. "Her talents bridge the arts of music, theatre and cabaret," according to a bio on her website, www.cynthiaclawson.com. It's a pop record with country, gospel and theatrical flavorings.
God's amazing grace, applied to real-life flawed Christians, would sound an awful lot like "You Have Loved Me Through It All."
In the song we eavesdrop on a prayer. The music is pleasant, but the honesty of the lyrics is what stands out. Lines such as "thinking about where all the love I've spent has really gone" are arresting.
The southern gospel "It's An Unfriendly World" reminds us that earth is just a way station, with Heaven being the real home of a Christian.
The song "Ye Who Are Lonely," portrays Jesus as a figure in the shadows amidst the nearby noise and neon, quietly calling to people to come to Him. Not forcing, but inviting. The invitation goes to "ye who are lonely, ye that are filled with confusion…"
Clawson, the narrator, is "looking back into my life at things I'd never seen before."
Lyrics that I always liked now have a new depth. Years ago I reached for these songs. Now these songs are reaching for me.
Lyrics for "The Tabernacle of God" are from Revelation 21: 1-5. The story is greatly aided by the musical treatment given it. The verses have a slow tempo and a sound that connotes an impenetrable mystery, which is unfortunately the way many view Revelation.
But the chorus quickens into the celebration that Heaven is meant to be. "The tabernacle of God is with men again and he shall dwell with them and they shall be His people and He shall be their God…"
Clawson has made a career of weaving God's love and God's truth into simple beautiful songs. Her song "Words and Music" sums that up nicely.
The songs are right there, accessible, for those who soar and those who stumble.
"Every year I'm learning more and more about trusting God," Clawson said in a 1995 interview. "He just loves me no matter what. Even if I make bad grades in life."

tlduffy1962 says:
I like and appreciate that last line. I've made a lot of bad grades in life and will likely do so as I go. However, thank God for His love and for grace. Also, I must admit that once again, I do not know this name nor her music. Thanks for bringing her to my attention.

'Bachelorette' Star Kaitlyn Bristowe Engaged To Jason Tartick: Exclusive Details Inside The Proposal
By Desiree Murphy and Jennifer Drysdale, ETOnline.com. 11 May 2021 6:56 PM
Jason Tartick and Kaitlyn Bristowe — Photo: Getty Images
Congrats are in order for former "Bachelorette" star Kaitlyn Bristowe and her new fiancé, Jason Tartick.
ET has exclusively learned that Tartick, 32, proposed to Bristowe, 35, in Nashville, Tennessee, Monday afternoon, and now we're sharing all the details and adorable first-look photos from their engagement. "It was everything I could have asked for," Bristowe gushed to ET's Rachel Smith on Tuesday. "The words that came out of his mouth were insanely beautiful. We've never locked eyes like that in our lives. We were holding hands, so intense, and I was listening to his every word, but still blacked out."
Tartick then shared a TikTok of Bristowe's reaction after he presented the stunning ring to her.
She screamed, "Oh my god! Are you f**king kidding me with that thing?"
Tartick said in the caption, "Just the reaction I was hoping for, engaged to the love of my life."
@jason_tartickJust the reaction I was hoping for, engaged to the love of my life @kaitlynbristowe♬ original sound – Jason Tartick
The newly engaged couple revealed that the proposal went down while they were filming an episode of Bristowe's "Off the Vine" podcast together. The bride-to-be was told she would be interviewing a special surprise guest, but found out around the 30-minute mark that that was not happening.
"Jason's like, 'Kaitlyn, we're not doing a podcast.' And I'm like, 'You forgot to hit record, didn't you!'" Bristowe recalled, laughing. "He was like, 'No, this is something else,' and he got up and I saw him bring out a ring box from the drawer."
"I was trying to be present but I was so overwhelmed, and I was so embarrassed, because I was wearing a T-shirt that said, 'Tequila for Breakfast,'" she added. "I was like, 'This feels very on brand, but also very inappropriate!'"
A post shared by Kaitlyn Bristowe (@kaitlynbristowe)
In the stunning engagement shots, photographed by Stephanie Sorenson, Bristowe and Tartick — who first started dating in early 2019 — couldn't seem to contain their excitement over the happy news. In one of the pics, the brunette beauty, chic in a white top, flashed her massive ring to the cameras, placing her other hand around her fiancé's shoulders.
The two then changed into more formal wear, for a gorgeous photo of Tartick kissing Bristowe on the cheek and celebrating with a glass of champagne. "It was really special," Bristowe marvelled.
As for that stunning, 5.09-carat sparkler? Tartick told ET that the oval-shaped ring is from Paris Jewellers, a small Canadian business right outside the town where Bristowe was born.
"I had an idea of the kind of cut she wanted, but other than that, it was kind of just, like, go," he shared. "They are great owners and they put so much effort into [making it]. They even took designs from Kaitlyn's dresses, and red carpets, to see what she likes, like working lace in, because she wears a lot of lace. They gave it a Kaitlyn, kind of like an edgy feel, but still classic."
"I love it, it's perfect. I've been staring at it all day," added Bristowe, who confessed that she had "zero" clue the proposal was coming. "Luckily I got my nails done the day before, but these are some funky nails!"
Tartick shared that he had originally planned to propose in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where they're headed this week for a vacation, and to spend time with Bristowe's mother and stepdad. The Canada native was unable to see her mother the past year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Tartick told ET that concerns over bringing the ring through customs resulted in a "quick adjustment" to his plans.
"I really did think a Jason way of doing it would have been something extravagant and really big. I actually thought he was going to do it maybe in Mexico, on the beach, and I would have saw it coming," Bristowe admitted. "I really wanted it to be intimate, so I loved that it was just during our podcast."
A post shared by Jason Tartick (@jason_tartick)
Breaking the news to her Instagram followers on Tuesday, Bristowe captioned a series of pics, "Don't pinch me."
"Choosing your forever is the most important decision in the world," Tartick, who also previously appeared on "The Bachelorette", added in his own post. "@kaitlynbristowe you made that decision so easy! Love you to death and forever."
Bristowe and Tartick first connected after he appeared on her "Off the Vine" podcast in fall 2018. The "Bachelorette" alum has previously spoken about how he made it a point to give Bristowe her space and not rush into things, so that she could fully heal and move on from her breakup from Shawn Booth. (Bristowe and Booth announced they ended their engagement in November 2018, three years after he proposed to her during season 11 of "The Bachelorette".)
Tartick and Bristowe eventually went on their first date in January 2019, and by June 2019, they announced that they had moved into a house together in Nashville… and even adopted a dog! "We're doing it all at once. We're learning how we parent… so it's a crash course," Tartick told ET at the time. "And it's going well."
The couple also spoke about the idea of getting engaged in a June 2019 interview with ET, adding that they had already discussed potential names for their future kids.
"I zoomed in on [Lauren Bushnell's] ring and I was like, 'Look, it's the exact one I want!'" Bristowe said at the time. "That's why we moved in together, because we were just so ready to take the next step. We just have, again, the confidence in our relationship to take the next step, where now that's naturally something we talk about anyways."
The pair expanded their family with another dog in December 2019, and six months later, Bristowe was convinced that Tartick was going to propose on TV.
It all happened while she and Tartick were catching up with Chris Harrison on "The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever!" At one point, Tartick reached into his pocket, which had Bristowe thinking he was going to pull out a ring. Spoiler alert: it was just his AirPods!

Moms think salad still delivers
By STEVE HARVEY
I recently read about the findings of some Harvard physicians that a proper diet can boost a woman's odds of becoming pregnant. It made me think of a phenomenon that drew publicity in the 1990s -- overdue moms-to-be flocking to Studio City's Caioti Pizza Cafe to speed things along.
The trend supposedly began after some very pregnant women from a birthing class dined there -- and then went into labor. All had ordered the romaine and watercress salad. One theory held that the balsamic vinegar dressing triggered contractions of the uterus.
Whatever, I phoned the eatery to see if it had lost any of its particular appeal. Not at all, apparently.
"Some days we'll get two or three [pregnant women] or more; sometimes we'll get a whole table of pregnant women," said server Veronique Ory. "A lot of them are referred by Lamaze instructors and doctors."
When a pregnant customer takes her seat, a server gives her a menu and -- if she wants -- a journal in which she can record her thoughts. And after she's given birth, she can add a baby picture.
The place is well known outside L.A. too.
"We just had a pregnant woman from Riverside in with her daughter," said Ory.
"The daughter said to her, 'Why did we have to come all this way for lunch?' And the mother said, 'You don't understand -- your sister's ready to come out.' "
A less appealing salad
In New York City, Sue McClanahan of Dana Point saw a sign for a serving that would seem difficult to chew -- and swallow (see photo).
Global warming -- and cooling?
Friday's column, you may recall, carried a shot of an extremely warm reading in Valley Glen (see photo). Which prompted Steve Durgin to share his pic of a frosty reading in Reseda.
You've got to admire Walgreens customers who can endure such horrible extremes.
In Santa Clarita, Leslie Parker of San Clemente found an unnecessarily complicated "hours of operation" posting at a pizza parlor (see photo).
Bugs and all
In a discussion of a mobster museum planned for Las Vegas, I mentioned Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, the founder of the Flamingo Hotel who was later gunned down in Beverly Hills.
By coincidence, author Brad Lewis has just turned out a colorful biography of a gangster more closely identified with L.A. -- Mickey Cohen (1913-76).
The dapper Mick, 5-foot-5 in elevator shoes, palled around with actresses and newspapermen, donated to politicians such as Richard Nixon, met with Billy Graham and survived numerous assassination attempts, according to Lewis.
A germ-phobe, Cohen would wash his hands so often that he'd "use up all the toilet paper and paper towels in a restaurant," Lewis wrote.
Mick also washed his hands of many of his deeds. "I have killed no man in the first place that didn't deserve killing by the standards of our life," he once said.
One reason athletes use steroids, I've read, is that they're able to recover more quickly when their body becomes run-down. Well, think about it -- who else must demonstrate great endurance day after day? Political office-seekers. I hate to be suspicious but I think, just to clear the air, every presidential hopeful should state whether he -- or she -- has taken steroids.

Featuring a traditional design combined with modern electronics and datalogging, the TP9 is a very useful and affordable petroleum gauging thermometer.
Designed to provide additional functions like logging and averaging while still maintaining Thermoprobe's ease of use for direct temperature measurements, the TP9 features all the abilities of it's predecessor, the TP5-C, in an upgraded package. Four different application specific probes are available, and like all Thermoprobe gauging thermometers, the TP9 is intrisically safe and constructed from highly resistant materials.
The TP9 features a wide measurement range of -40 to 400 °F (-40 to 204 °C) and can measure at an accuracy of up to ±0.2°F (±0.1°C). The LCD display features icons indicating whether the temperature of the current reading is increasing, decreasing, or has stabilized. Like all of Thermoprobe's thermometers, the TP9 is highly accurate and comes with a 4 point NIST traceable calibration certificate. The TP9 also features a logging function that allows the user to log stabilized measurements for review or documentation at a later date.
the TP9 is the suggested replacement for the TP5-C.
For users who prefer a reel based design, the TP7-C is also available.
Users can also perform custom calibrations or easily switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit at the push of a button. Easily replaceable AA batteries provide up to 200 hours of use.
The TP-9 is available with cable lengths from 12 to 110 feet with markings every 5 feet or from 5 to 30 meters with markings every meter. Every TP-9 includes a 4 point NIST traceable calibration certifice in either degrees fahrenheit or celsius, but all models are capable of displaying both measurements. Any combination of configuration options are possible, if you do not see the specific configuration you require below please call for availability.
This is the most popular probe and is used for most applications.
It features a 0.25 lbs (110g) weight.
while maintaining the same diameter as the standard probe.
Designed specifically to fit in small diameter gauging tubes.
The heaviest probe at 0.75 lbs (340g).
Designed for use with high viscosity petrochemicals including asphalt and sulfur.
2 Cable marked every five feet. Instrument is shipped set to measure in °F. °F/°C setting can be changed by the user without requiring recalibration.

Downloading and Using eBooks from NAP
What is an eBook?
An ebook is one of two file formats that are intended to be used with e-reader devices and apps such as Amazon Kindle or Apple iBooks.
Why is an eBook better than a PDF?
A PDF is a digital representation of the print book, so while it can be loaded into most e-reader programs, it doesn't allow for resizable text or advanced, interactive functionality. The eBook is optimized for e-reader devices and apps, which means that it offers a much better digital reading experience than a PDF, including resizable text and interactive features (when available).
Where do I get eBook files?
eBook files are now available for a large number of reports on the NAP.edu website. If an eBook is available, you'll see the option to purchase it on the book page.

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Research Report 16: Guidebook for Managing Small Airports. Second Edition is designed to help airport practitioners, owners, operators, managers, and policymakers of small airports, who may have varying degrees of experience and backgrounds, to fulfill their responsibilities in such areas as financial management, oversight of contracts and leases, safety and security, noise impacts, community relations, compliance with federal and state obligations, facility maintenance, and capital improvements.
The first edition has been edited and reformatted for currency, relevance, and usability and updated with additional information and new subject areas (e.g., unmanned aircraft systems, geographic information systems, digital Notices to Airmen, social media, and federal and state obligations).
Since the publication of ACRP Report 16: Guidebook for Managing Small Airports (2009), a significant amount of research that could be of direct benefit to small airports has been completed, and the Federal Aviation Administration, state agencies, and trade and industry groups have developed and initiated new policies and guidance. In addition, small airports are facing new industry challenges not addressed in the first edition (e.g., unmanned aerial systems). Therefore, an update was needed.
ACRP WebResource 6: Resources for Managing Small Airports is a companion to ACRP Research Report 16: Guidebook for Managing Small Airports, 2nd edition. The web resource serves as an electronic library delivering additional resources and tools to allow small airport managers to dig deeper into topics of interest frequently encountered in their airport manager roles. It also contains implementation resources and tools associated with recommendations in the guidebook.
