Entrepreneurship, Economic Conditions, and the Great Recession
Robert W. Fairlie
The "Great Recession" resulted in many business closings and foreclosures, but what effect did it have on business formation? On the one hand, recessions decrease potential business income and wealth, but on the other hand they restrict opportunities in the wage/salary sector leaving the net effect on entrepreneurship ambiguous. The most up-to-date microdata available -- the 1996 to 2009 Current Population Survey (CPS) -- are used to conduct a detailed analysis of the determinants of entrepreneurship at the individual level to shed light on this question. Regression estimates indicate that local labor market conditions are a major determinant of entrepreneurship. Higher local unemployment rates are found to increase the probability that individuals start businesses. Home ownership and local home values for home owners are also found to have positive effects on business creation, but these effects are noticeably smaller. Additional regression estimates indicate that individuals who are initially not employed respond more to high local unemployment rates by starting businesses than wage/salary workers. The results point to a consistent picture – the positive influences of slack labor markets outweigh the negative influences resulting in higher levels of business creation. Using the regression estimates for the local unemployment rate effects, I find that the predicted trend in entrepreneurship rates tracks the actual upward trend in entrepreneurship extremely well in the Great Recession.

Moving ideas: The British School at Rome, 2009-2017
Christopher Smith reveals how the movement of people and ideas across the centuries has been studied through the work of the BSR.
• Christopher Smith
Christopher Smith is Professor of Ancient History at the University of St Andrews, and Director of the British School at Rome (2009– 2017). In 2017 he was awarded the Premio 'Cultori di Roma'.
The British School at Rome (BSR) was founded in 1901 to support UK and Commonwealth research on Italy and the western Mediterranean. We host a worldclass specialist library of 110,000 volumes, and make a substantial annual investment from our own and British Academy funds to support residencies for over 30 artists and scholars a year, in subjects ranging from antiquity to contemporary art practice, prehistoric archaeology to the post-colonial novel, medieval manuscripts to postmodern architecture, and most stops in between. This makes the BSR Britain's largest and intellectually most broadly based research institute overseas. Since 2009, the BSR has hosted nearly 500 lectures, conferences and exhibitions, and welcomed nearly 5000 residential visitors. BSR staff, research fellows and award-holders have since 2010 produced over 400 publications, of which there are 100 monographs or edited volumes, including several under our own imprint. And we are part of the largest network of foreign academies in any city in the world, as well as the network of British International Research Institutes.
There are so many themes one could choose to illustrate this work, but at the heart of what the BSR does is the facilitation of the meeting of minds – and a reflection on how we have discussed the movement of people and ideas may be an appropriate way of illustrating what we do best.
'Orientalising'
How do we trace movement in a world before written records? Over the past 18 months, with the German and French academies at Rome, and the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, we have been looking at the transmission of ideas from and about the East to the western Mediterranean in the 8th to 6th centuries BC. The culmination was a conference which focused on Italy. The painstaking work of tracing artistic influence in everything from decorative motifs that spread almost virally, to highly wrought gilt silver Ugaritic plates with royal imagery that are found in a handful of Italian tombs, has to be understood within a broader paradigm of the movement of people and the movement of ideas, in which the East was as much conceptual as geographic. Highlights included Stéphane Verger's brilliant reconstruction of the complex decorative schemes in a Gallic chieftain's hoard of bronze vessels, many highly individual reconstructions of Etruscan and Greek motifs, and Corinna Riva's challenging analysis of the inequalities between the parties engaged in exchange activity in the Mediterranean, part of a wider discussion throughout the conference on the mechanisms of the flow of objects, people and ideas.
The beginnings of empire
The last major conference on the transformation of central Italy from 400 to 200 BC was 40 years ago, and the pace of archaeological discovery since then has been rapid. Rome's rise to power was a military and political phenomenon, but its expression was in a flourishing of artistic and architectural innovation.
Two conferences organised this year in collaboration with the University of La Sapienza and with the Rome and Lazio archaeological Superintendencies represent the most significant re-engagement with this theme for many years, and the quantity of new material presented at these events has been truly astonishing. The highlight of the first conference was the first public presentation of a new stretch of the Aqua Appia, constructed in the 4th century BC, and discovered as part of the work on the new Rome underground. Some 18 metres of perfectly preserved aqueduct in ashlar masonry mark the extraordinary capacity of Rome's structural engineers. As we are discovering, it is the fecund combination of skills and ideas, many from the Greek world, but others mediated through Italy, which challenges the idea of a Rome-centred world. Rome's absorptive capacity remains at the heart of any explanation of her success.
This leads us to one of the BSR's own projects at Segni, where a polychrome mosaic of stunning quality (discovered in 2012), and a nymphaeum – delicately decorated with sea shells, and bearing the unique signature of a Greek architect with a Roman name, Q. Mucius – are revealing the richly cosmopolitan culture in 2nd- and 1st-century BC Segni.

Transformations of the Roman world
As the Roman empire expanded, it was transformed by the forces of wealth, its own global reach, and the fragilities of extended power. As a case study in globalisation, the Roman empire is beginning to attract more attention. Our own contributions include the major project at Portus, conducted with the University of Southampton, and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the European Research Council. Our Research Professor in Archaeology Simon Keay FBA began the project at the BSR [see 2009 BAR article by Simon Keay], and he puts its success down to the strength of the collaboration we have been able to build. The outreach is astonishing – 4 million viewers of BBC programmes on Portus, 30,000 participants in a Southampton MOOC, and adverts all over the nearby Fiumicino airport, where 38 million passengers a year see photographs of the evocative ruins, and have increasing opportunities to visit the area.
But the intellectual interest in this extraordinary site arises from its position as the hub of an enormous international trade network, a network of ports and capital cities. Apart from the archaeological excavations, we have supported restoration and conservation, a detailed GIS model of the lower Tiber Valley, and the first major conference on port epigraphy, to be published in the BSR's series with Cambridge University Press.
The transformations wrought by the economic power that Portus vividly symbolises are visible everywhere – in settlement patterns across the Suburbium of Rome, first revealed by BSR Director John Ward-Perkins in the BSR's South Etruria Survey in the 1950s to 1970s, and in our geophysical and archaeological investigations of the burgeoning urban infrastructures of the Tiber Valley and beyond. Yet, as the exceptional work conducted by my predecessor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill FBA at Herculaneum has shown, much of this population was immigrant. High levels of slavery fuelled the economy and changed society. We also vividly see transformations in our work with Ian Haynes of Newcastle University and the Vatican authorities underneath San Giovanni in Laterano, where Roman houses were destroyed by Septimius Severus' 3rd-century AD cavalry barracks, to be replaced in the early 4th century by Constantine's great basilica church – the change from domestic to military to religion maps changing mechanisms of power and influence.
Our next step will be to join the data from our own surveys with that of the survey by La Sapienza of the Suburbium of Rome and Groningen University's Pontine Region Project, to produce one of the largest archaeological survey databases for the Roman world, with immensely detailed information over the whole of the Roman Campagna.
Did it all come to an end in AD 410? Sixteen hundred years later, in 2010, scholars from across the world met in conferences organised by the BSR, and the Swiss and German institutes in Rome. This was a case study in the understanding of crisis, of the nature of collapse and the perception of collapse. The reality in Rome in AD 410 was less significant than the impact on those observing from outside, such as Augustine in North Africa, who was inspired to write The City of God in response to the disaster. Yet we now know from Portus and Ostia that Roman trade networks continued – the world did not end. But crisis and rupture, as perhaps we are witnessing now, can be cultural as well as economic or political. When the real consequences of the perceived crisis of the Roman empire set in, the result was a catastrophe for Italy and for Europe as a whole. We see it in our survey evidence, in excavations in Rome, in signs of malnutrition in skeletal evidence in areas that had been prosperous, in the collapse of systems of communication. What happened when Rome fell was that people stopped moving.
Beginning again
The BSR has been at the forefront of the understanding of medieval Italy. David Whitehouse and Richard Hodges as BSR Directors carried forward Ward-Perkins' interest in the medieval world, practically inventing the field of medieval archaeology with their Italian colleagues. The process whereby Italy begins again after the fall of Rome has been the topic of several events at the BSR. Two sites epitomise this.
We published the last volume of Richard Hodges' excavation at San Vincenzo al Volturno in 2013. Founded in 731, the monastery's location in the central Apennines was highly strategic. In 848, the abbey was damaged by an earthquake, and in 881, the Saracens burned and raided the monastery, and the surviving monks fled to Capua. The monastery was later built on a new site, but whilst the vivid evidence of the earthquake and fire damage has captured attention, the study of the monastic workshops shows exchange and new connections across the Adriatic and into northern Europe being forged as a new economy sparks into life.
Contemporaneously, the church of S. Maria Antiqua at Rome was going through rapid changes, which we can trace in the extraordinary palimpsest of frescoes, recently restored. The subject of an exemplary article by our first Director, Gordon Rushforth, in the first Papers of the British School at Rome (1902), we marked the opening of the restored church with a major conference, also in 2013, in collaboration with the Rome Superintendency and the World Monuments Fund. S. Maria Antiqua's frescoes reveal Rome's use of the cults of eastern saints, some from Syria. The flow of ideas had now resumed, and Rome was once again part of an international world.

Worlds of images
Four successive Assistant Directors at the BSR in my time have studied the way that images track movement of ideas in the early modern world. Stefania Gerevini's work on the use of rock crystal in Byzantine-influenced Venice; Joanna Kostylo's research into the movement of medical ideas through the new medium of print; Tom True's work on the networks of patronage of Renaissance cardinals across Italy; and Sue Russell's work extending from Pietro da Cortona to Herman van Swanevelt, and recently into the Grand Tour – these are all part of the BSR's strong tradition of art historical research.
Apart from their huge contribution to the community at the BSR, the scholarship of all four reflects on the mobility of the visual image, its capacity to move across space and time. Rome is a laboratory for this study, and our access to normally closed parts of Rome has allowed BSR scholars to explore medieval churches, Renaissance villas, baroque palaces and 18th-century collections. We have also been in the Roman sewers, experimented with incense, visited quarries, carved marble and painted frescoes. The deep engagement with materiality that characterises the best art history, the understanding of the mechanisms of making, is visible throughout BSR research, and also in exhibitions, such as the 2017 blockbuster Sebastiano del Piombo and Michaelangelo, which involved former BSR award-holder Piers Baker-Bates. There is no doubt that the vital combination of art historians and practising artists is one reason why we have such a strong record of international curatorial practice.
We live in a deeply visual age, but the capacity to look with attention is attenuated by the deluge of imagery. We may not be the first to experience this; the sensory overload of the baroque has been a regular topic of our lectures and conferences. Tracking the shifts of style and technique across the visual arts is not simply a matter of attribution however; it is a cartography of the imaginary, and our most recent work, a conference organised with the Rome Art History Network, with proceedings edited by Tom True, focuses on the movement of artists. To give just one other example, Clare Robertson's acclaimed volume Rome 1600 (Yale, 2016), written at the BSR, gives a riveting picture of what was at the time perhaps the most international city in the world.
Radical and marginal lives
Nineteenth-century Italy was a place of radicalism and revolution; Garibaldi was the first hero of the print newspaper age, and his exploits were followed across the world – he was an early example of a cult hero, as former BSR award-holder Lucy Riall's biography has shown. Italian radicals were everywhere; Mazzini and Cavour were international figures, and it was an Italian, Panizzi, who built the British Library's famous Reading Room, where Marx wrote.
Italy continued to be a city of radical ideas; futurism, fascism and fashion; cinema and literature; art and the dolce vita – all of which have been studied at the BSR. For much of the 20th century Rome exported ideas and people, and Charles Burdett's brilliant AHRC project 'Transnationalizing Modern Languages: Mobility, Identity and Translation in Modern Italian Cultures' culminated in a wonderful exhibition at the BSR (opened by our President, HRH Princess Alexandra). It illustrated the impact of Italian culture globally, and used the Italian situation as a template from which to develop a renewed model for the work of Modern Languages and its applications in the 21st century, which was presented in a lecture at the British Academy in November 2016.
'Beyond Borders: Transnational Italy' exhibition, arising from the 'Transnationalizing Modern Languages' project, held at the British School at Rome in October and November 2016. Photo: A. Palmieri.
But Italy recently has also been an importer of cultures and, perhaps more controversially, of people. Situated as lightning rod between the north and south Mediterranean, the flow of migrants into Italy, and far too often their death en route, has been the subject of repeated investigation, for instance in David Forgacs' BSR project Italy's Margins: Social Exclusion and Nation Formation since 1861 [see 2010 BAR article by David Forgacs], or in a collaborative project with the British Council on frontiers. For me, some of the most moving have been by our artists, for instance Zed Nelson's prize-winning Channel 4 documentary on Lampedusa, and Paul Gomes' beautiful film of the community of Bangladeshis who scrape a tiny living from selling flowers and trinkets to tourists.
Still moving
The BSR continues to be at the forefront of new ideas and approaches to the world. As these fragments of the wider picture of BSR research and practice show, to study Rome is to study the world, and by bringing artists, architects, writers, historians and archaeologists together, the BSR creates a laboratory of the humanities in which the most challenging questions of our times are reconsidered in the context of deep time and across all disciplines, science, social science, humanities and the arts. It is the movement of people, the coming together of minds, which stimulates and provokes a truly interdisciplinary response, for instance to the critical challenge posed by mobility and its absence, and by the porosity or hardness of borders, physical, cultural and intellectual. As a fundamentally international institution, forging links between the United Kingdom and the world, and inspiring creative research, in one of the world's greatest cities, the BSR has never been more relevant or necessary.
British International Research Institutes
The British Academy provides annual funding to a network of British International Research Institutes that operate around the world. They conduct research, collaborate with overseas and UK-based partners, and provide facilities, training and financial, academic and logistical support to researchers. They also run events programmes, held in the UK and overseas. All the research institutes operate as autonomous bodies.

L.A. SCHOOLS PROMOTE CENSORSHIP; OFFER MADE TO TEACH TOLERANCE
Home/Catalyst/Features/L.A. SCHOOLS PROMOTE CENSORSHIP; OFFER MADE TO TEACH TOLERANCE
On February 7, it was announced that the Los Angeles Unified School District had removed nearly 300 books from its library shelves it deemed offensive.
In December, 2001, copies of The Meaning of the Holy Quran were donated to the school district by a local Muslim foundation. This particular version of the Koran, published in 1934, contains footnote passages that label Jews "arrogant," "illiterate" and "men without faith." After a history teacher complained, the books were pulled from library shelves. A committee of history teachers, Jewish leaders and officials from the donating foundation was authorized to review the books.
William Donohue was impressed by the zealousness of the book banners, as well as their shameless hypocrisy. Academic freedom is, after all, the mantra among educrats. But not in Los Angeles: this same school district has previously censored bulletin board literature and books it found to be offensive to gays and blacks. And now their sensitivity alarm has sounded for Jews. There is no evidence that they have become similarly exercised by anti-Catholicism. This, however, did not stop Donohue from extending the services of the league.
On February 8, Donohue wrote a letter to Roy Romer, the superintendent of schools, and to the eight members of the school board, offering to help resolve the controversy. He asked to do the following: a) conduct a training seminar on the meaning of the First Amendment for all area faculty and administrators b) provide an historical overview of the consequences of state-sponsored censorship in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia and Mao's China and c) allow a Catholic League staff member to examine their library holdings for anti-Catholic books; we would then ask that these books remain on the shelves as testimony to tolerance.
In his news release on the subject, Donohue drew attention to the silence echoing from civil libertarian quarters: "The American Civil Liberties Union defends books that show how to make an A-bomb. People for the American Way defends books that are patently obscene. The American Library Association defends hard-core pornography on the Internet and even opposes the use of filters that keep little children from being exposed to it." And then let fly with, "But not one of them has objected to the book banning going on in Los Angeles."
Donohue ended his remarks by saying, "That's why the Catholic League's offer is so irresistible."

Google's Android Pay Will Compete Against Apple Pay
Google's (GOOG) introduction of Android Pay is another sign of the growth in mobile payments, according to an executive at MasterCard (MA).
Rhonda Schaffler
Google's (GOOG) introduction of Android Pay is another sign of the growth in mobile payments, according to an executive at MasterCard (MA). Android Pay will compete against Apple's (AAPL) service, known as Apple Pay. 'We think it enables a lot of choice, it expands the reach of payments that are out there, so we think it's going to drive a lot of growth,' said Ed McLaughlin, Chief Emerging Payments Officer at MasterCard. McLaughlin said it's hard to quantify the growth rate of mobile payments at this stage. 'We've seen a couple things that are important though. MasterCard contact-less transactions, when you do that tap in the store, that we've done for a long time. It's rock solid technology and what we've seen is when people tap two or three times, they don't go back to their prior behavior. And that's how you know it's better, that's how you know it's faster.' McLaughlin says in terms of those transactions, the U.S. is just catching up to the rest of world.

For one day of our daily calendar this week we were asked to share a short inspirational quote with the Healthy Living Challenge group. We all need some inspiration, right? Here's a list of our quotes.
Nothing tastes better than thin feels! – Susan B.
If you want to improve your life, start by being kind to yourself. – Amber H.
Anger is like holding on to a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone – you are the one who gets burned. – Susan H.
No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping the people on the couch.
I've also added more vinyl quotes to my Silhouette store. Some are inspirational. Some are for fun. Some are because they seem to say just the right thing.
Next week is our last week of preschool. So sad. Coleman loves Miss Diana because she is awesome and loving and he gets to ride his bike to school every day. I love that she focuses on reading and has high expectations academically as well as making learning fun. I could send him to Miss Diana 5 days a week all year long if it was offered. This picture depicts her relationship with the kids perfectly. Taking their hands, gathering them around, leading them to a new discovery.
As the year comes to an end, here is a vinyl quote from my Silhouette store that will work perfectly as an end-of-the-year gift for any teacher in your life.
I have partnered with Lori Whitlock and will soon be offering my files in her SVG shop along with on the Silhouette store! Woot! Woot! We are working on getting them organized and uploaded and hope to start having them within just a couple of weeks. They're coming, they're coming! They will also be available for commercial use through her site. So those of you looking to use my shapes for your shops – the time is coming so watch for that. You can expect to see my alphabets and vinyl quotes as some of the first shapes offered in her shop. But you Silhouette users….don't worry everything will still be available in my Silhouette store as well. Hooray!
I've also done some phrases that are perfect for kids and babies. Click on the image to find them in my store.
And don't forget the family-themed quotes that are now available in the Silhouette store.
It took us 16 years of marriage for me to become a mother. There were a lot of Mother's Days that I didn't love and I know that for many mothers, there are a lot of Mother's Days that are still hard. Maybe we don't feel adequate. Maybe we compare ourselves to "perfect" mothers who are not perfect in real life, just in our view of them. Maybe we feel a sense of loss because we have truly lost something or someone. Mother's Day can be difficult.
Happy Mother's Day to you all – whether you have children or not. We are all nurturers and caregivers and friends and mothers to someone.
I have created a new line of vinyl quotes in my Silhouette store here. I love them. Yes, it's true. I love them. I hope you love them, too.
Want a fabulous, fun and meaningful service experience for Activity Days or any or youth group? Here it is. We have done activities focused on individual worth and personal development and building relationships and we decided it was time to do an activity centered solely on service.
Susan (our leader who was in charge of the packets) pretty much just reworked the downloads from theficklepickle. Why reinvent something that was already done so well? Susan also included a different list of service ideas from this blog post by katharinemaries.com.
To personalize their Mission Packets we asked each girl to choose a "Secret Agent Name" which was used as the label on their envelope. Names could be a number or nickname or something they liked. We had "Agent Triple S Squid," and "Agent Nerdy Bird," and "Agent Flexken 2" but my personal favorite: "Agent M&M Mad Dog." Oh, she's fierce. All 42 pounds of her.
GOAL: Practice doing acts of service in a variety of situations and locations. Learn to see where they can help and act on those observations. Recognize the joy that comes from serving.
Two weeks before the night of the activity the girls received their Secret Service Mission Packets. During the next two weeks, they were to plan and execute a week's worth of secret service. Seven days. Seven acts of service. Ideas were listed in their packets. Everything from taking shopping carts back, holding a public door open for others for 10 minutes straight and smiling at people to inviting someone to play, reading to a younger sibling, or baking cookies for a neighbor.
Each girl wrote down their service experiences each day. What they did, how they felt, and what the reaction was. They used this written report to share their experiences at our Recognition Night.
An invitation was included in the Top Secret Mission packet described above – delivered two weeks before the event. All parents were invited to attend with their daughters and everyone was encouraged to dress in their best spy gear if they chose. When they arrived to the activity we gave each of the girls a sticker nametag with their Secret Agent Name on it so they could stay in character.
During the weeks before the activity we asked the girls to wear their hair in a ponytail if possible and took profile pictures of each girl. We then cut out a silhouette from that picture, mounted it to a circle of cardstock (created by cutting it with an Xacto knife and a dinner plate as a template) and then mounted it again to a 12×12 sheet of cardstock. Tip: an easy way to cut the silhouettes was to print each photo in draft quality on a full-size 8.5″x11″ sheet of paper. Hold a white sheet of paper under the photo and cut around the silhouette shape in the photo to create your clean white silhouette cut-out. The photo becomes the pattern for cutting. Try to get as detailed as possible. There is no need to trace each picture to get a good silhouette so skip that step and simply use the photo as the pattern. Wearing their hair up somehow, made a much better silhouette than having it down.
The "secret silhouettes" became the backdrop for our activity as well as an ice breaker as each person tried to figure out who was who on the wall!
WELCOME + LESSON: Since we love to have the program focus on the girls themselves, we had a short lesson by a leader "Agent Hadley" who taught for about 7 minutes about the power of working together in our service efforts. She used this talk as a reference and emphasized the impact they all can make if everyone chooses to work together in their efforts to do a little service. Plus, she was funny. That was a bonus.
AGENT REPORTS: Each girl shared their Secret Agent Name and then reported on their service experiences over the last week. They shared their feelings about service and their favorite secret service ideas. If you're thinking that this would take a long time, think again. 8-11 year-old girls like to talk for about 45 seconds each. Bam. Done. Move on to the next person.
SERVICE PROJECTS TO GO: Since the girls had spent the last two weeks focusing on serving within their sphere of influence, much of their effort happened in their own homes. We wanted to extend their service even more to the community. We moved to another room where we offered two other service projects that they completed with their parents. We wrote the instructions to each project on the board.
Service Project #1: "Thanks for Serving Me" Treats – 5 bubblegum packets each. They tied a tag to each little treat bag and were instructed to give them to people in the community who helped them. The bank teller, the crossing guard, the cashier…just keep them in the car or in their mom's purse and hand them out when they receive help from someone else. What a better way to watch for service in their lives – not only were we encouraging them to give service but to be grateful for the service that was done for them as well. This idea was found here in the super comprehensive and creative list of ways for kids (and grown-ups!) to serve. We pulled it out to add to our experience of service that night.
Place all of the supplies on a table and let the girls choose which tags and treat combos they want to use. Another small table held the scissors and hole punches. A length of masking tape was a great way to help the girls measure the twine lengths themselves. We wanted them to be independent and paying attention to the set up of the activity helped them make that happen.
Here's the download for the tags I created for this project. These can also be included in Project Life books or used as other paper crafting projects, tags, labels and cards. Click on the title below to download the tags. Print them out on basic cardstock (my go-to for church activities is a ream of white cardstock found at Wal-mart for about $5). Cut the tags apart and they are ready for your event.
Service Project #2: Fleece Dog Toys – donated to a local animal shelter. The toys were then sent home with adopted dogs. Let me tell you – girls LOVE doing things for little doggies! Click here for instructions. Be sure to check with your animal shelter to make sure that these can be donated there – the dogs couldn't use them at the shelter itself because of threads and fabric getting in the air circulation system but they were willing to send one home with each adopted dog as a keepsake.
We were done in about an hour. With everything. And look at what happened in that hour – it was an activity packed with meaningful contributions from each girl, parental involvement, and a way to extend their experiences beyond the activity itself. And we have loved hearing about their opportunities to hand out their thank you treats. It took some bravery on their part and the excitement they felt when they recognized service being done to them and then expressed thanks for it was thrilling.
We are so proud of them for taking on their "Secret Service Missions" so completely and energetically. And a shout out to the parents for supporting and encouraging them in their tasks. Plan ahead and do this activity with your youth or children's group – it's a keeper.
Get ready for Mother's Day with my Silhouette shapes available here in my Silhouette store.
Here are some more new shapes for you to use for Mother's Day, including vinyl subway art, a layered phrase, and a flourished phrase. Give these a try for your Mother's Day projects.
Here is a card for every mom in your life from last year's collection of letter-size cards.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you women out there – you are mothering someone. Enjoy the day celebrating the mothers in your life.

Albertans give government failing grades on post-secondary education
Media releases | October 31, 2005
EDMONTON—The majority of Albertans who participated in Public Interest Alberta's on-line report card and who spoke out at eight public forums across the province have given the government failing grades and have raised serious concerns about Alberta's post-secondary education system.
"The Post-Secondary Education Report Card" that was released today at a media conference in Edmonton, sends a very strong message to the provincial government on the eve of the Advanced Education Minister's Forum.On the survey, Albertans were asked to grade the government on four primary areas (funding, affordability, accessibility and quality) as well as to identify their key concerns and suggestions on how the government could address the issues.
The grading results were as follows:
Funding: A - 2%; B - 2%; C - 18%; D - 52%
Affordability: A - .8%; B - 3%; C - 15%; D - 37%
Accessibility: A - 2%;B - 6%; C - 29%; D - 38%
Quality: A - 3%; B - 13%; C - 31%; D - 33%
The report concludes, "It is clear that across the province, there is an enormous sense of frustration and concern with a wide range of post-secondary issues and with the government's failure to adequately address those concerns. The frustration was compounded by the sharp contrast between the government's rhetoric about the vital importance of post-secondary education to our individual and collective futures versus the realities of large student debt, lack of access, inadequate loans, rapidly growing tuition fees and other expenses, crowded classrooms, deteriorating infrastructure and many other concerns."
"We hope Minister Hancock will take the concerns outlined in this report as a wake up call, and make sure that the review of post-secondary education actually leads to real solutions to the many issues that are raised in this report," says Bill Moore-Kilgannon. "Albertans will judge the government on what they actually do to improve the affordability, accessibility and quality of post-secondary education, not on some vague rhetoric and principles."
Public Interest Alberta is a provincial non-partisan organization that advocates for better public services, institutions and democracy. Members of the PIA post-secondary education task force include the Non-Academic Staff, the Student Unions and the Faculty Associations in 14 colleges and technical institutions and the four universities in Alberta.

Norton Records vs Hurricane Sandy
As many of you know, Brooklyn-based label Norton Records was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. The warehouse was decimated, much of the stock ruined. Miriam Linna and Billy Miller are still asking for volunteers to help with the cleanup-and restoration effort. Just a year ago the label celebrated its 25th anniversary. There's something poignant about a label zealously devoted to restoring and archiving a forgotten past faced with the task of saving its own stock. Help if you can.
Here's a video, with contact info:
Saving Norton Records after Hurricane Sandy from Dust & Grooves on Vimeo.
A grim update from The Brooklyn College's Kingsman:
Not only were nearly a quarter of a million record titles soaked and scattered throughout the expansive warehouse space, but countless archival materials of American rock and roll history. Photos, original fanzines, rare paperbacks and memorabilia, all destroyed, all irreplaceable. In addition, Kicks Books, the neophyte paperback publishing division of Norton, lost nearly their entire stock of brand new books.
"You open the doors and can't even begin to think of what happened there," Linna claimed. "It was like an earthquake or a hurricane! We opened the door and saw all the records, then we were like, oh my god, the brand new printed books! Oh my god the paperbacks!"
"The thing that got whacked the most was our 45s," Miller explained. "Because we had tons and tons of picture sleeves for every release… we were able to keep them in print because we had extra sleeves for them."
"Last November at this time we were having a big festivity about having a great label and 30 years of struggle and success and hard work and happiness and here it is, one year later, and we're looking a total destruction of the mind," Linna added.

The Construction Industry Advisory Committee (CONIAC) advises HSE on the protection of people at work (and others) from hazards to health and safety within the building, civil engineering and engineering construction industry. Membership of CONIAC is tripartite comprising representation from key industry stakeholders.
The committee was reconstituted at the beginning of 2013 with a refreshed membership reflecting the HSE desire to "work in partnership with intermediary groups in the construction industry".
The aim is to take forward new ways of working with the constituencies represented on CONIAC.
Meetings of CONIAC are usually open to the public.
However, the meeting on 20 November 2013 will largely be devoted to in confidence discussion of "legal and policy issues" in connection with the proposed revision of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations.
HSE has declared that as a departure from usual practice the meeting will not be open to the public.
Competence – removal of explicit competence requirements.
The draft CDM Statutory Instrument, supporting impact assessment and draft consultative document must be approved by the HSE Board and Ministers.
HSE must also seek an opinion on the validity of the impact assessment from the independent Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC).

Q: System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized I used below code to access sharepoint defualt webservices, in console application and it is working fine, but when i used dll from same console application into .net webapplication it thrown an error for authentication error.
i.e. i am not able to access webservice in webapplication:-
var wsWebs = new SPWebWebService.Webs()
                                 {
                                     Url = String.Format("{0}/{1}",
                                                         parentSiteUrl,
                                                         Constants.WebServices.SharePoint.Webs),
                                     Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
                                 };

                var webCollectionNode = wsWebs.GetWebCollection();

A: My guess is the credentials you are logged in as in the command window context have access to SharePoint, and are being appropriately passed using CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials. These creds are different in the web app context. Try creating a hardcoded set of creds and see if that changes anything:

A year after our first issue, we have returned. In a year filled with billion-dollar comic book movies, international obsessions with more than one fantasy television series, and debates about who is being heard in the science fiction and fantasy communities, we feel this is a perfect time to add our voices to the mix. Science fiction is the literature of change, and it's important that we help everyone be heard.
We are also asking for volunteers to help us with reading content, reviewing articles, possibly serving as editors, and helping with maintaining the website and building our presence in the science fiction community. Experience with writing workshops, editing, or academic writing are a plus.
Please contact us at jg.adastra.ku[email protected] or through our Facebook page if you would like to volunteer for a position or offer other assistance.

Police Use of New Recording Technologies
Posted on May. 29, 2013, 11:13 am by Jeff Welty
There's been quite a buzz lately about Google Glass, a "wearable computer" that looks like a pair of eyeglasses but that uses the lenses as transparent screens to display information to the user. (For example, the user might have CNN headlines constantly scrolling on the edge of the screen, or might have the glasses show a list of nearby coffee shops.) One feature of Glass that has received considerable attention is its ability to record still photos and video. Privacy advocates are concerned that it will usher in an era of ubiquitous recording, of constant surveillance. But isn't that era already upon us?
Consider some of the technologies already in use by law enforcement:
In-car cameras, currently installed in almost three quarters of state police and highway patrol vehicles, as noted here in The Police Chief
Wearable cameras, discussed in this New York Times article (the article refers specifically to camera glasses made by Taser, such as the AXON Flex, shown here)
Stationary surveillance cameras, which are present in virtually every major city as discussed here in the Wall Street Journal and here in the Newark Star-Ledger
License plate readers, which have been deployed in Raleigh according to this WRAL article
Surveillance drones, discussed in this CBS News piece
And don't forget that most officers and civilians alike carry cell phones everywhere they go, and that most cell phones are capable of recording still photos and video.
The prevalence of recording devices raises a number of legal questions, from Fourth Amendment concerns to discovery issues. On the latter point, consider, for example, when footage from a stationary surveillance camera becomes part of the "file" that must be disclosed to the defense during discovery. Is it when an investigating officer saves a copy of the footage to his or her computer? When the officer views the footage, even if he or she does not save a copy? When footage within a certain time and distance from the time and scene of the crime is recorded, regardless of whether an officer ever views it?
For now, I'd like to abstract away from particular legal issues and ask for comments on a few more general questions:
First, which recording technologies are showing up most often in court here in North Carolina?
Second, are the recordings working more often in favor of the state or the defense?
Third, where do you turn for help with the legal and practical issues presented by recording technology? Are there references or experts that, for example, law enforcement agencies turn to when deciding whether to implement wearable cameras? Are there resources that lawyers used when litigating the Fourth Amendment issues presented by these technologies?
I may have more to say about these issues in the future, but at this point I'm interested in hearing others' views.

The area to which I see problems is probably hospital ER intake, prisoners have rights to medical privacy. I also see problems in interviewing sex crime victims if you respond to their home and speak with them. I just don't see a need for all this recording, vehicle stops is different than everyday talking with someone. What's next, cops on every corner checking for papers.
No problem at all. IF, and I say IF, law enforcement preserves ALL of the data. It is now public record and can be requested by practically anyone with few exceptions. If it helps convict, good; If it helps exonerate, good. It works both ways IF our justice system is to work as it was designed…
the problem that most defendants have is that cops want to record them, selectively and with the ability to turn camera's on and off at will and even edit them..but try and stop citizens from filming them. There are are cases coming up daily all over the nation with proof that cops misstate the laws and threaten and even arrest people for recording them, in public and where the cops have no legal expectation of privacy, simply to keep evidence of misconduct from being recorded. cops all over are seizing cameras and deleting scenes that they deem too risky to allow the citizen to have, and this is ebcoming a real isse.
Cops cliam that filming them is illegal, or " interfering with investigations" etc., and the only reason a cop has to want no record of their conduct is when the cops are acting wrongfully. If a cop is acting within the law, they should have no issue with being filmed…they want the ability to record us at will, but resist the opposite.
Recently police in California seized cameras showing them beating a man to death, deleting the events, and even holding residents at their home for hours until they could intimidate them into handing over the evidence they wanted to destroy. in order to protect the citizens, all cops should be required to wear cameras that they cannot stop and start at will, and that cannot be deleted. They also should have standing orders, enforced by the courts, that they cannot interfere with citizens filimg them and cannot seize camera's as potential evidence without a warrant. it is obvious that cops abuse their authority constantly and in this age of electronic ability to record their crimes, we must safegaurd the rights to film them without fear or arrest…cops will destroy evidence of their misconduct if there are no penalties for same, and this is the biggest issue we face. We mus be able to hold cops accountable and only direct evidence can do that, which is why cops hate the civilians filiming them so much.
First, compare the total number of police officers in the U.S. (almost 800,000 as of 2010) against the number of officers who abuse or misinterpret their powers regarding the use of recording devices. Of course it happens. An honest police officer does not mind wearing a "tamper proof" recording device. He/She has nothing to hide. To lump all police officers into the same category is like labeling every attorney as crooked, which is not the case at all.
On the other side of that coin, I have personally seen audio/video recordings do just as much to exonerate police officers from frivolous accusations, as they do to incriminate for the officer's unlawful/unethical actions.
Second, as a police officer, I use different recording devices for different purposes. Digital voice recorder for field interviews that need preserving; video camera for interviews in the office and for interviews with a statutory requirement to record; and in-car video for patrol operations.
They are used, and should be used, to both exonerate and convict. It is our job to collect all possible information, enforce and abide by the general statutes, and trust the prosecution, defense, judge, and jury to make a decision based on ALL the evidence.

North Carolinians deserve to know how much their local police are using military weapons and tactics for everyday policing. Across the country, local law enforcement agencies are increasingly using military equipment to conduct traditional law enforcement activities.

In general, insurance licences are required for three categories of insurance roles: general insurance agents and brokers, independent adjusters and life insurance agents and brokers. The Insurance Institutes, at both the national and local level, work closely with provincial and territorial regulators to align our education options to help you obtain your licence regardless of where you live and what career path you follow. These provincial variations can make understanding licensing somewhat complicated. We want to help you navigate this complexity with information and resources about this important requirement of many insurance careers. In addition to our information, you will benefit from visiting the website of the provincial insurance regulator where you live.
Your employer should also be able to provide you information about licensing requirements. You should also be aware that if you provide insurance services in a licensed role to customers in a province other than where you work, your employer will need to ensure that you are licensed for the province where you are serving customers.

Light Hole® lamps is composed of three main elements: led, transparent methacrylate sheets, and stainless steel.
The leds are put on the outside or inside edge of the transparent methacrylate sheets, inserted inside in a stainless steel metal. Every Light Hole® product use high brightness leds.
The stainless steel is used to protect the leds and at the same time to dissipate the heat.
The methacrylate drilled with laser technology makes the led bright spot invisible and produces a soft and diffused light. The holes design and shape bring to lose the perception of the source of light and create the Light Hole® lamps typical atmosphere. This is the reason why we call them light sculptures.
After years of research and development it has been found the technology that solves the problem of leds glare. The architect Gioserio has thus got the invention patent n. 1426276 on December 7th 2016.
All the artificial light created by the lamps has a photobiological risk, the blue component present in the frequency spectrum of lighting causes this risk. The Light Hole® lamps are all produced with warm light leds. The choice to use only warm light leds gives us the assurance that with a color temperature of about 3,000 ° K, every photobiological risk is avoided. The Light Hole® led technology does not fall into the categories RG3, RG2, RG1, but the light sources is classified RG0 which is considered "absolutely not dangerous in ordinary use" (Assil monograph - National Association of Lighting Manufacturers Technical Statement n ° 12/201506).

Ballard woman 'feels great' nearly 4 months into COVID-19 vaccine trial
By Nicole Jennings

Nearly four months after her first injection, a Ballard woman who became the first person to participate in a COVID-19 vaccine trial says she's doing well.
The vaccine, developed by the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., was administered to 45 people in Seattle in the first phase of its trial through the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute.
Participants received two doses of the vaccine about a month apart, and are being monitored through regular blood tests for the next year.
Jennifer Haller, a tech startup operations manager, said she has noticed no difference in her body since receiving the two shots in March.
Coronavirus vaccine trial kicks off downtown Seattle
"After the two injections, the only side effect that I experienced was just soreness in my arm, but I didn't experience any other side effects," she said. "I'm feeling great … it was even less impactful than a flu vaccine I've had before."
On Monday, she went in for her 16-week-post-vaccine blood test. Haller said she is scheduled for a few more blood tests over the next 11 months.
Moderna announced in May that the first eight recipients of the vaccine — including Haller — have had a strong immune response, showing higher levels of antibodies than patients who have had and recovered from COVID-19.
The third phase of the Moderna/NIH vaccine trial is set to begin this month, testing another 30,000 people.
In the meantime, although she may indeed turn out to be one of the first people to have vaccine-given immunity to COVID-19, Haller is still taking every possible precaution when coming in contact with others.
"I haven't assumed that I have any special immunity. I've been living my life as everyone should be right now — wearing a mask when you're out, social distancing, being careful," she said, adding with a chuckle, "It's not like I have a superhero cape or something."
The vaccine trial process was not without its risks. In fact, Haller had to sign a 45-page release warning her of the risks — and says she read every one of those 45 pages.
Still, Haller went ahead with the trial because, as a passionate fan of science, she wanted to be part of medical progress — and, as a human being, she felt it was her duty to help others,
"I have a lot of privilege in my life. I can take this risk and a lot of people can't," she said. "A lot of people are struggling just to put food on the table or just to keep their jobs, or to find a job. So that was really important to me, to recognize my privilege and to do something — to take a risk that others would not be able to do."

I know I couldn't find another title… I'm open to suggestions!
As promised I finally manged to finish my tutorial and to actually blog about it!
I think it's important for kids to learn how your body functions, what's inside and how it works why. So I came up with this idea to make an apron where you could stick the main organs on. If you're squeamish turn away from your computer now!
A stash of different colored fabrics, different colored threads, the organ templates, a meter of felt, and some sew on Velcro tape and your sewing equipment.
sew them on and place your organs on them. Et voila! you're done!
