Report: Leafs' Dubas trying to make a trade with 1st round draft pick?
The Leafs new GM talks trade and his team's draft plan for the upcoming 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
No doubt about it, rookie general manager Kyle Dubas will have his work cut out for him in his first offseason as the Toronto Maple Leafs new boss. Not only does Dubas have to negotiate a new contract for sniper William Nylander, but he has pending unrestricted free agents James van Riemsdyk, Tyler Bozak and Leo Komarov to worry about. Oh… and then there's potential extensions for youngsters Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, as well. No matter how you look at it, Dubas will have some difficult decisions to make in the weeks leading up to free agency and this doesn't even factor in the decisions that Dubas will have to make if he plans on improving his team… this is merely what needs to be done to maintain the status quo.
NHL.com's Mike Zeisberger recently caught up with Dubas at the NHL Draft Combine and got the young GM to open up about his team's plan for the upcoming 2018 NHL Entry Draft and what he thinks of the current trade market.
When asked whether or not he'd consider moving up in the draft from the 25th overall spot, Dubas didn't back down from the idea. Check out his response:
"I think this is the lowest we've picked in my time with the Leafs. We picked fourth (in 2015), then first, then 17th and now 25th. I think we're open to anything, moving up, moving down. We certainly have the requisite assets to move up. If there is a case to move down, we'll have our conversations with other general managers in the League and get a sense of what they're looking to do and then make our decisions as it comes along."
Interesting. Makes you wonder what Dubas considers the "requisite assets" to move up. Would he considering swapping the 25th overall pick and the rights to either JVR or Bozak to move up in the draft? Or how about one of Toronto Marlies goaltenders Garret Sparks or Calvin Pickard? The pair have certainly proven that they're NHL ready after the sparkling AHL regular season that they've both put up. In fact, both Sparks and Pickard are just three wins away from becoming Calder Cup champions. There's little left for them to prove at the AHL level, but they'll need Dubas to clear the runway for them via trade if they're going to get a crack at a full-time NHL spot.
Whatever Dubas elects to do in the weeks leading up to the draft and free-agency, you can bet that the spotlight will be shining on him brightly. The 31 year old GM is perhaps under the most pressure of any NHL GM this offseason. Taking over from a legend like Lou Lamoriello in a market as demanding as Toronto is sure to be a tough task for the kid.

As a woman, negotiating our worth is a tough one. I was raised to do and not ask for too much. When I graduated college, I struggled with my worth. I didn't know how/when to negotiate and I accepted the first offer given. There was no Google to help me and my guidance counselor was hardly guiding me. Plus, no one spelled out what they were being offered, we all were proud to get a job after graduation. These days, there's a plethora of information out there, but what actually works and when should you ask?
I've managed many assistants/associates, I've negotiated my own salary, and on a daily basis now I negotiate my own worth as I work as a full-time digital influencer. So the key question is "What is your worth?" How do I get paid what I'm worth, how do I earn more, but how do I do this all without seeming like I'm being selfish or greedy? It's a double edge sword (I think about myself), am I asking for too much, am I doing enough work, am I worth it?
I'm still learning as I go, but in owning T&J Designs and in blogging, I've done more negotiating than ever before! So here are my tips and I hope it is information that will help you in your next raise, job or brand deal.
#1 In starting a job straight out of college or even starting to blog, look up general guidelines on the average salary for the position and your city or look up what you think a good collaboration dollar amount is depending on your traffic and social media followers. KNOW YOUR WORTH AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK. You can't just make-up numbers or negotiate if you have zero knowledge of the space. Start there and then remember to ask for what you think you are bringing to the table. How do I see it? It's a starting position and these days the experience might be worth a million times more than not having a job and asking for an outrageous salary. Think about the brand, the company, are you dying to work there or for them? Weigh it all. Shoot for higher and say you are willing to negotiate. But don't shoot for such a number that the immediate answer is NO. If a brand wants to work with you, they'll negotiate. Remember, if you have some experience under your belt or statistics to support your number, use them. If you are just beginning, learn as you go. You'll evaluate at certain times to adjust your numbers as you gain more experience, have numbers to prove you are worth more, and than go in with a clear plan in mind. Do remember though, you are worth what you've proven. It's much easier to negotiate if you have statistics.
#2 Be creative in negotiating. If the salary number won't budge, ask for a 6-month evaluation and say if you exceed put in the contract you'll get a 10% raise. In negotiating for brand deals, don't just negotiate for one Instagram, try for two and a blog post. Figure out numbers where two or three posts sound better than one. This allows you to have consistent work and who doesn't want more money! Try to put in something that allows you to make more in the future.
#3 How to negotiate? This is a tough one and these are my top three pieces of advice. 1) Know your info, like I said above, do research, know your facts and know what you bring to the table in order to support your numbers. 2) Don't be afraid, be confident, but don't have an ego. Come in saying something positive about the job and position and why this will work IF you receive this. I love saying something great about the opportunity and than acknowledging how I'm a great fit because of my creative skills, photographs, and my numbers on my media kit. Don't say, "I'd like to do it, but I make $$$ and that's my rate." Be gracious, be kind but be confident. 3) Practice makes perfect. Once you start negotiating, you'll get used to it and realize where you can push and pull. You have to start in order to feel comfortable. If you don't try, you'll always wonder if you could have been worth more. When you do go for it, you will get what you want or be satisfied that you are pushing for your worth.
#4 After you have a position, do the work, observe your surroundings, keep pushing yourself to learn, actively reach goals and develop new ones and do more than asked, THEN ask for a bigger raise or title (or both). Too many times I had an assistant (who did what they were told) ask for a huge raise and a title promotion at the annual review. Girl, you don't get a medal for doing your job! You get a medal for doing more than your job and proving that you exceed and are already in the next role. In the corporate world, managers go to the vice presidents to go over raises, work performance and promotions. Those that outshine their positions, but also networked and were on the ball received both raises and promotions. Networking, my friends, is a huge ally in the workplace and in life.
I was afraid to ask for a raise for years, I never viewed myself as exceeding expectations, I was first in the office, last out working under my boss, and I got raises, stock options, and promotions consistently. There came a time when I started managing others that I realized my worth and finally asked for the raise I deserved. I learned a ton in the past and have utlized it to negotiate my worth.
#5 At a certain point in time when you've established yourself, it's ok to look around and look for other available opportunities. If you love your work and just feel like your salary is not met, ask for it or interview for another position, get that offer letter and ask your current workplace to match it. This is common and ultimately your company will make the decision on it and you will know what you are worth. As for blogging, value your time, product, brand, place and strategies. If it is something I love and am super interested, I may go to the event or dinner because it's fun and I love seeing others. If I'm getting asked to speak or do work at an event and I have to get a sitter, I communicate my fees for time and expenses. My time is definitely more limited now so I'm more careful about evaluating my worth and also if the brand/event is something I would love.
#6 Don't let others question yourself. Co-workers, managers, friends, and family should be supportive and give advice when you need it. There will always be people that will question your ability, try to put you in your place, or be competitive. If you are working hard, you see that your work is exceeding results AND you find yourself feeling down around someone, DO NOT be around this person or take advice from them. Stay focused on you and what you know your worth is.
#7 Take advice or criticism well. See the difference between negativity and places to improve on. I love learning, I love listening, and I love hearing where I can improve. Learning new things has gotten me to where I am at! Knowing your worth is also knowing where you can grow.
Is there anything I missed? Shoot me any questions and I'm happy to help.
In regards to knowing your worth in a relationship . . . maybe I'll write that some other time. I'm still learning and it's been a tough year. Finding someone who appreciates my worth is definitely on top of the list :).

I almost missed the latest Distel. Fortunately I was looking through the catalogue of the Swedish Beläten label! "Ultra2012" contains both 'Distel+' (a development of the sound that we grew used to, somewhere between dark minimal wave and angstpop) and uncommon sounds (more technoish). There are a couple of masterpieces which makes "Ultra2012" a must-buy if you like the sound of this Dutch project (or for example the Galakthorrö sound).
Finding a physical copy may be a quest (Beläten is out of copies, I got mine from the band itself), but you can always buy the Bandcamp download.
Finally the debut of this Dutch project is available. Distel makes "angstpop" and "minimal" but this 7″ is not released on Galakthorrö, but on a Dutch label that reaps the field of strange wave and minimal techno music. Distel does fit on the label, but the Galakthorrö audience might never hear of this release. On the other hand, the two tracks on this 7″ are not really Galakthorrö tracks such as some other tracks that Distel has made. Not really wave or technoïsh either, but more slow and slightly rhythmical tracks with highly distorted vocals (you only hear a rumbling). I must say that Distel has better tracks available on his Myspace, but maybe that is because he changed style somewhat. In any case, I saw Distel live a while ago and there are plenty of tracks available, also very interesting, for future releases, so let us wait and see what the future will bring. A project to keep an eye on, just as the man's other project Hadewych.

Growing up, I had the influence of many seniors. Until I was 14, I had three great-grandmothers living, and until I was 51, I had a grandfather living. But the greatest influence in my life from a senior was by far my great-grandmother on my father's side. We called her Grandmother. She was 68 when I was born, and I was 33 when she passed away. I always knew I was her favorite, although I am sure my sisters and cousins would say they were. Looking back, I realize that she was a strong woman. She was always surrounded by family and friends, and lived independently into her 90s. Grandmother drove herself until she was about 92 (of course, I didn't realize at the time that she probably shouldn't have been), and this was around Atlanta!
Grandmother taught me many things. She helped me read and she encouraged my love of music. She wrote letters to me and I wrote letters to her, even though we only lived about 30 minutes apart. She taught me love, respect, compassion, and belonging. She taught me to be a strong, independent woman. But she was never isolated or alone.
When I reflect on Grandmother's life as a senior, and then look around me in my role at Senior Resources, I can't help but be moved by the difference in my Grandmother's life and some of our client's lives. Most of our Meals on Wheels clients do not have the family and community support system that my Grandmother had. Often our Meals on Wheels recipients see only one person a day…the volunteer who is delivering their meal. But for the volunteer, they would be alone all day, every day. Most of our in-home care clients are also homebound, alone, and isolated. We provide the personal care, along with companionship, that allows them to remain independent in their homes.
My hope is that all seniors have the ability and choices that they need to remain independent as long as possible and as long as they desire, just as my Grandmother did. All our programs, not just Meals on Wheels and in-home care, foster and promote independence. Our Wellness Center program allows seniors to get out of their homes, have a hot nutritious lunch at our senior center, and socialize with their peers. The Foster Grandparent program gives academically at-risk children the same loving, supportive care that my Grandmother gave me. It provides children unconditional love and help to improve their reading skills so that they know they are not alone in their academic challenges, while allowing the senior to give back to their community. Our Senior Companion program pairs active, engaged seniors with socially isolated seniors for companionship, so that they are not alone.
Some of our programs provide seniors with the most basic human need to maintain health — food — while other programs provide seniors with another important aspect in maintaining health and independence — social interaction.
Simply put, our programs let seniors know they are not alone. We have the help and support of so many in our community in meeting the needs of seniors, from volunteers, to Board members, to all those who give generously to Senior Resources. It takes all of us to meet the significant need of seniors in our community. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past, and please consider donating or volunteering to help us continue to meet their needs.


After a rest and a bit of TLC this home is back on the market sporting a new metal roof, new septic, new furnace, new storm windows, new patio doors and new flooring in the country-style kitchen! The original, maple floors in the living room, dining room and bedrooms have been shined up and give the home a cozy, family feel. The dining area is separate from the kitchen but opens to the living room. There are lovely built-in cabinets & shelves in this room. One special feature is the 19×10 enclosed porch with knotty pine walls.
The outbuildings are unique. The 54×27 timber frame barn was constructed with wood logged from the original homestead here. It is 5 years old and was built for retail sales of farm goods. There is electric, and the interior is beautiful to see. A 2-stall stable with storage and a hay mow is also included with this neat hobby farm. There is some fencing and gating and a small shed that would make a nice chicken coop.
If you have a couple horses, want to raise chickens or plant an organic garden, this property is pretty much set up for you. Zoned ag, so your livestock should not be an issue.

Metastatic breast cancer is a deadly and debilitating disease, with fewer than one-in-four women diagnosed who will live beyond five years. The good news is that important treatment advancements are being made, providing Canadian women with more options to treat this disease.
Today, Pfizer Canada announced that Health Canada has provided conditional approval of IBRANCE™ (palbociclib) and it is now available in Canada.
IBRANCE is a kinase inhibitor indicated in combination with letrozole for the treatment of postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer as initial endocrine-based therapy for their metastatic disease.
When Terry Playfair, a 66-year old grandmother of five, was diagnosed with ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC), she was left feeling discouraged and without hope.
Terry is not alone in her fight against mBC. In fact, approximately 5-10 per cent of newly diagnosed breast cancers are metastatic and about 20-30 per cent of women first diagnosed with early stage breast cancer will go on to develop mBC in their lifetime.
Despite improvements made with early detection and treatment, there is no cure for mBC, demonstrating a need for further investment and research in this area.
IBRANCE provides patients with a new therapeutic option, while raising awareness and inspiring conversations about this often misunderstood and difficult disease.
The Health Canada approval of IBRANCE is based on the final results of the Phase 2 PALOMA-1/TRIO 18 trial (n=165), which studied whether IBRANCE in combination with letrozole prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared with letrozole alone in postmenopausal women with ER-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or mBC who had not received previous systemic treatment for their advanced disease. The Health Canada approval of IBRANCE is contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
IBRANCE has been studied extensively in Canada for use in mBC. In fact, 114 patients at more than 27 Canadian centres have participated in clinical trials to date. Participation in other Canadian clinical trials will continue on an ongoing basis.
Pfizer also ran a Canadian Expanded Access Program clinical trial prior to the approval of IBRANCE for postmenopausal women with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who were deemed appropriate for letrozole therapy. The trial included nine Canadian centres.
Pfizer Canada Inc. is the Canadian operation of Pfizer Inc., one of the world's leading biopharmaceutical companies. Our diversified health care portfolio includes some of the world's best known and most prescribed medicines and vaccines. Historically, Pfizer Inc. has invested more than US$7 billion toward developing safe and effective medicines. At Pfizer, we're working together for a healthier world.

Petronas Towers
Prior to the founding of Pickard Chilton, Jon Pickard was a Senior Associate at Cesar Pelli & Associates and collaborated with Cesar Pelli in the design of the Petronas Towers.
The twin 88-story Petronas Headquarters Towers were recognized in 1996 as the tallest buildings in the world, and have since become the global symbol for Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia. The towers are the focal point of Kuala Lumpur City Centre, a forty-hectare development in the heart of the city's commercial district. The two towers, connected at mid-point by a skybridge, create a monumental urban gateway.
The towers' designs respond sensitively to their cultural context. Their floorplate design is based on traditional Islamic geometric principles, and the interior public spaces were rendered in a contemporary fashion based on traditional Malaysian design. The base of the towers incorporates a multi-story shopping galleria at street level, and richly detailed arcades.
In 2004, the Petronas Towers received the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture.

Clauson-Marshall Racing recruits Pippa Mann for team's inaugural Indianapolis 500 run
February 27, 2019by Lee Spencer
Clauson-Marshall Racing will make its IndyCar debut in the 2019 Indianapolis 500, with Pippa Mann piloting the No. 39 Driven2SaveLives Chevrolet.
The 35-year-old Londoner will attempt to make her seventh start in the Greatest Spectacle in Auto Racing. Mann's best career finish was 17th in 2017.
"Last year, here, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on race day I was not in a race car. I was not getting ready to race," Mann said after failing to qualify. "After the field of 33 took the green flag, I was in our suite trying to look after all of the people that had put together our entry for last year's Indianapolis 500. I get to do this once a year. I don't get to get back in the car the next weekend if something goes wrong at Indy.
"For me, as someone who only gets to do this once a year, I thought that was it. I didn't think I'd get the opportunity to come back here."
Her fears were soon allayed. It was in that suite on race day that owner Tim Clauson approached Mann.
Clauson's son Bryan was Mann's teammate in the 2016 Indy 500, his third start in the event. A USAC champion who competed in both IndyCar and NASCAR, Clauson was a registered organ and tissue donor when he died from race-related injuries on August 7, 2016. His donation saved five lives.
To honor his son's memory, Tim Clauson joined forces with Richard Marshall and Clauson-Marshall was formed later that year. But Clauson continues to pay it forward, fielding USAC Sprint Cars. The IndyCar effort with Mann is an extension of his grassroots operation.
"In 2012, it was a privilege to come to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as a dad to a driver who was competing in his first Indy 500," Clauson said. "Now, we are honored to have an entry in the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. We are especially honored to partner with Driven2SaveLives after organ and tissue donation became an important part of our lives in 2016.
"Merging our dirt programs with the Indy 500 program is very important to our future, and we are fortunate to have Pippa Mann behind the wheel. After watching the way she handled the circumstances of last year with such grace, we were sure that if we could help her return to the Speedway, we would."
Clauson partnered with Mann to bring the program to fruition. They enlisted Driven2SaveLives—an Indiana Donor Network Campaign focused on raising awareness for organ, tissue and eye donations and transplants—as the sponsor.
Yes, Mann is delighted to attempt another run at the Indy 500, but the ability to work with Clauson-Marshall Racing and Driven2SaveLives--and to carry Bryan's number--makes the program more rewarding.
"The big thing about this program is it's formed on friendship," Mann said during the announcement at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Wednesday. "I'm here as the driver for Clauson-Marshall Racing due to the friendship of Tim and Richard, their kind friendship towards me and the friendship of Bryan before that. When we were teammates in 2016, our friendship was one of respect. We knew we only got to do this once a year, only got to race this kind of car once a year. And we both knew how much work on and off the track that took. We were working in the engineering room and we enjoyed being teammates so much that we were already trying to hatch a plan to come back as teammates in 2017. Instead, in 2017, I was asked to join the Driven2SaveLives campaign in Bryan's memory.
"So, for me, it is an absolute honor to be standing here today—not only as a driver of Clauson-Marshall Racing—but representing this cause, representing Driven2SaveLives and helping them register more donors than ever before to save more lives from this racing program at Indianapolis Motor Speedway."

Rhetorical Unity
The many rallies in Paris and elsewhere yesterday provide an intriguing example of the malleability of unity as a symbol. The crowd in Paris, according to reports, was both enormous and diverse, including a range of foreign dignitaries and political leaders. In addition to various European leaders from Russia, Germany, and Britain alongside the President of France, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas both participated. The Guardian described the Paris march,
This was a nationwide outpouring of grief, solidarity and defiance. Parisiens of all ages, religions and nationalities turned out en masse not only to show their respect for the victims but their support for the values of the Republic: "liberté, égalité, fraternité" – freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
Of course, like the various commentaries on the events in Paris and the #JeSuisCharlie hashtag over the past week, the marchers had various reasons for participating. While it is certainly significant that Israeli and Palestinian leaders both marched (though not beside each other in the photos that I saw), it does not mean that their presence and their statements condemning the attacks of last week reflect unanimity on the march or the broader events. Similarly, the characterizations of the crowds suggest that some would agree with Rupert Murdoch's tweet that Muslims should be held responsible for such attacks until they eliminate jihadists while other participants would agree with the plethora of counter tweets. Would some support greater internet surveillance, as some leaders meeting in Paris have reportedly proposed, and even "enhanced interrogation techniques" to fight terrorists? Would others in the march disagree, seeing surveillance as undermining freedom of expression and connecting the torture and mistreatment of terror suspects and enemy combatants to increased dangers (as some have linked image of abuse at Abu Ghraib to the radicalization of at least one attacker)? Probably yes to both questions.
So what is this unity that the march demonstrates? Perhaps the unity arises from simply an emotional unity of dismay, grief, and defiance at the attacks. That notion of unity, though, does so much more. Like social movements generally, the rhetoric of unity creates a notion of community, an imagined community (to use Benedict Anderson's phrase), that overwrites the diverse opinions and interests of the participants. Politically, rallies like we witnessed yesterday can become a malleable symbol that leaders use to legitimize the policies that they want to implement. They rhetorically give the unity a specific meaning and move forward on that basis, whatever the people who participated had in mind when they marched. Of course, other leaders, and even individuals speaking out, can offer counter-narratives of what that unity meant for participants and means for the future of the community. What meaning becomes dominant, then, has much more to do with who can use public discourse most effectively than the meanings that participants had when they came to the rally.
The tensions between the rhetoric of unity, the diversity of participants, and the meanings generated afterwards are not unique to public demonstrations like this. The language of nationalism also operates in a similar manner, much as Anderson suggested three decades ago. Everyone who celebrates their national pride and ascribes to the national values does not understand the nation or those values in the same fashion. Even historic phrases like "liberté, égalité, fraternité" allow for a range of interpretations and policy prescriptions depending on the specific ideological and partisan position of the person espousing them. While the unity is only rhetorical, it has significant potential for whomever can steer that rhetoric.

"Smurfing" is the term The Economist (Nov 24 2012) identifies as the label given smuggling of cigarettes wthin the United States. According to The Economist, the cigarette tax in Virginia is $.30 cents per pack, whereas in New York State, the tax is $4.35 per pack. Predictably, there is a huge trade of smuggling cigarettes up I95 from Virginia to New York.
The question is to Grover Norquist and those of the far right who want to dismantle all Federal Government (except, of course, the military, which they want to expand): How does it make any sense for the 52 states of the Union to have different cigarette taxes? This differential results in 3 major problems: (1) we encourage smuggling; (2) states with high taxes lose a major part of the revenue they had hoped for–e.g., The Economist says New Jersey, with a tax of $2.70 estimates that 40% of the cigarettes sold in their state are smuggled in; and (3) we then have to devote a huge police expense to trying to catch smugglers.
Grover and friends, wouldn't it be better for everyone if the 52 states got together (that's what a federal government does) and voted on one cigarette tax, with the proceeds of that tax to be distributed to each of the states in which it is collected?
Of course, this would be likely to result in less aggregate expense than the 52 states currently spend on all this, would eliminate the smuggling and the smugglers, and it would not take much federal government staff of expense to arrange this new arrangement.
I will be waiting for a good explanation of why this would not be a good idea, and just one (small) example of a reason for a federal government (as opposed to returning all powers to the states–or, would that be to the cities and/or the communities–how are do you wish to go)?
Watching the two scandals that have emerged regarding BBC journalism across the last two months has been troubling in terms of our capitalist system.
On the one hand, we do need to hold leaders of businesses such as this more accountable for performance of their businesses, but there is a significant counter tendency to throw out the leaders regardless of who's responsible for what went wrong.
There can be two mistakes that are made in the way this kind of thing comes down: The first is when the wrong evaluation of responsibility takes place. Examples abound. Often, this is when the economy takes a left turn and the business suffers. Sometimes, often, there is no executive who could rightly be judged to have anticipated this and to have had a plan in mind to avoid it. Nevertheless, we throw out the CEO and others sometimes, and we go out to find another executive. All of this adds up to "whitewashing" the situation and forcing a "scapegoat" to be held responsible for the problems, plus a huge loss of effectiveness while a new team is installed and comes up to speed. This is done by Boards, often, to preserve their own positions–it's more risky for them to stick with the present executives through a crisis, although that might well result in better long term value for the enterprise. It looks better for them to be "decisive" and throw the team out. Presumably, everyone can go away feeling satisfied that this kind of thing could never happen again–but it inevitably does.
The second way is when someone like George Entwistle is forced to resign, when his time in office is so short–54 days in his case–that it is normally extremely unrealistic to expect he would have been able to uncover journalistic flaws and holes such as to prevent these two scandals developing. And, best as this American in London can see, he has not tried to cover anything up, was busy setting about to get to the bottom of it and fix the system.
British broadcasters even criticized him for his not reading the Herald Tribune on the morning of the revelation that the 2nd scandal was clarified–the accused of sexual abuse did not do it, he later learned. Entwistle had been off early to make a speech that morning and hadn't time to read the paper. Broadcasters interviewing him criticized him for bad priorities–which seems ridiculous on the surface–if he had known such information was to be revealed, he surely would have read the paper, but no one knew that!
We don't know this executive. Perhaps he's not the best who could be found. Nevertheless, England, you're moving too quickly to judge someone who hasn't had the opportunity to try to make a better BBC for you. And, how is that most of the press has been so complimentary to the oversight trust and its executive? Didn't they choose Entwistle, and what support did they give him to get started? All of the people and processes that resulted in these problems are the creation of his predecessors, and some of the subordinates, some of whom he would surely have properly disciplined, given time to make sure his findings were fair.
In a case like this, why is there no-one who is willing to stand up and defend the long and proven journalistic record of the BBC and also to defend the right for this man to have a chance to make it better? Why does everyone seem to want to take the position of being the most "moral?" What if he had been there 43 days? 33? There are often two sides to morality around an issue, and we believe you erred in this one by leaping to what is seen to be the side that will gain most popularity with the vast public. Where is the leader who is willing to stand up for what she thinks is truly fair and best?
This kind of thing happens in the US too, but in this case, England, shame on you!
We are hoping that the 48th President of the US will make immigration reform a major agenda item.
as either major contributors to national prosperity… or as serious drains on national income.
There are several basic issues, all arguing in favor of restructuring and liberalizing our immigration policy: The first issue is our heritage. We are a nation of immigrants, which is now threatening to close the door on immigration. Don't we give any credit to the benefits of immigration that across less than 250 years, raised the US from a few disgruntled European immigrants, to the status of the strongest nation in the world? There has to be some credit given the drive, energy, hope, determination, and persistence that immigrants of all kinds brought to our shores. This is one of our unique distinctions in the world–that we are a nation that can tolerate and accept people of other cultures, religions, languages, and we can find the way to integrate and yet respect the differences of peoples from everywhere. Let's not forget our heritage!
Now, 250 years later, we have a very tangible, indisputable reason–we are a nation which is aging, with a birth rate inadequate to generate youth to work and pay into the social security system to provide care for a population which will live much longer than we expected, thanks to many things, including the advancements of the science of medicine during our lifetimes. If we cannot produce the youth, we need to invite them to our shores–they are waiting! We take in about 6.5 million annually now, but that's inadequate to meet the needs of our aging population.
Then, there is the contradiction of our driving the world to embrace globalism, free trade, and all of that, launched by the Reagan administration and supported by every administration since then. We have dominated the international governmental organizations' leadership staffing and their agenda and policies, all of which leads to the developing world being pressured to open their borders to foreign trade. There has been much good to attribute to this drive. We can take partial credit for helping to enable China and India to free 500 million people of poverty since 1980, as an example. However, this drive led by the US has also meant that there are many countries where the opportunity of globalization could not be captured, at least not in the methods demanded of them by the World Bank and the IMF, populated by Washington ideas and policies.
Many of these countries had no benefit and some had increased unemployment, deeper poverty,as they found their limited (usually agricultural) based industries suddenly forced to cope with cheap imports, in some cases resulting from subsidies from wealthy governments seeking to protect their own wealth interests. Examples are the US subsidizing of cotton farmers in the US, such that cotton farmers in sub-Saharan Africa cannot compete, or the EU imposing tariffs on banana imports from countries other than their former colonies.
And, while we promote this openness of trade (to our benefit, far and away more than that of any other country), we deny the disadvantaged of those countries to come to the US and find a job, pay taxes, and have a chance at a life that is better than where they are. How can these two policies co-exist?
Then there is the moral issue: We were born in the US. We need to imagine, just for a moment, how we would feel if we were born in sub-Saharan Africa or in a poor town just south of our Mexican border. Do we really imagine that, seeking the best opportunity for ourselves and our families, we would not try almost any way possible to have a chance at the opportunity in the US? I know I would swim the river for the opportunity!
That leads to what Conservatives may find to be the lynchpin of their anit-immigration argument. I find it so ineffective to hear that a conservative ran into a legal immigrant taxi drive who is frustrated with illegal immigration. That is probably true of most who suffered through our extraordinarily difficult process, but it doesn't man anything in terms of the answers to the big questions.
It seems that for conservatives, everything hinges on the reportedly 12 million illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico, that live in our country. It almost seems that if they can win the argument to deport all the illegals, then that's the whole issue resolved–just keep the system we have, build higher fences, etc.
Parenthetically, we don't know, but can imagine that a good many of those illegals in the US may well have tried to immigrate legally–and if you haven't immigrated legally, or tried to, you may not know how extraordinarily complex and difficult it is to do so, depending on your country or origin, to some extent. So, many of the illegals may have tried to be legal, but were denied, and perhaps many were denied for what the State Department calls "discretionary" reasons, which means that while I found nothing wrong with your record, I just have a bad feeling about you–and there is no recourse available if I am the agent handling your case. We have skilled lawyers available in the US for those who can afford it, and they tell me they know which one of our immigration offices and which officer is most amenable to people of certain types of backgrounds, and which are not. What kind of system is this?
As to those who are here illegally, no one can dispute that they should have come legally, but the burden of that is on both them and on us, for the difficulties we imposed on their coming. But, they're here. And, for those who are paying taxes or are willing to do so, and do not have a criminal record, let's give them a chance and let go of the irritation and all the associated unresolved issues as to who is responsible–us or them, and let them stay. For the others, we need a broader set of criteria to break them down into groups and evaluate, assist, etc. For those involved in crime, etc., deportation may be appropriate, but even here, we need to examine the issues involved.
We need to liberalize and streamline our rules and procedures. And, it's not right to just admit the wealthy who can buy homes or start businesses and hire people–yes to them, right away, but we also need to be open to people like those who came across on the Mayflower–most of them were not engineers or business investors.
Lastly, there can be little doubt that the world is careening toward one world–just take a look down your main street and notice the dramatic change in enthnicity of people who share space with you. We can go about this worldwide integration reluctantly, with resistance, even force and violence, or we can go about it willingly, thoughtfully, and with belief we can find the good in it–as we have so many ways across our 250 years. But, either way, it is inevitable–the world is becoming one world. Let's be leaders in the integration.
Having devoted two posts to defending the personal integrity of most bankers, who have been excoriated not only by Joseph Stiglitz, but by America's common man as well (with rhetoric from left wingers and anyone who can hope to gain from such blame assignment, and this is a rather all-inclusive group), we now turn to what's wrong and what to do about it.
Stiglitz is right that the bonus and stock option system of bank management is wrong. It tends to reward for short periods of performance, like one year. What's needed is a longer period of evaluation, minimum of 5 years, long enough to let the performance of their decisions play out. And, any amounts paid out in the early years should be minimal percentages, with clawback provisions in case loans, derivatives, or other assets created or decisions taken, turn out to have negative consequences.
Now, let's point out that the same is good across all of industry. It's not only bankers who use the short term incentive plans and have no significant penalties for failure across a longer term. If we want this to be the model in our particular form of capitalism, we could actually require that by a simple set of laws.
Another benefit would be to take Dodd Frank to a stronger level and take out all trading in derivatives, except to the extent it is at customer request to hedge interest rate exposure. We got partially there with Dodd Frank, but not all the way. Such types of activities and investments which are not clearly for customer business transaction support should be put into a separate entity by those who want to engage in it, with separate shareholders and separate management–e.g., the Wells Fargo Bank for Derivatives and Other High Risk Activities. Such entities would instantly be held to a much higher standard by their clients, considering that they are no longer protected by the strength of the bank and it's huge base of customers. Capital demands on these institutions would be much higher, and those who want to play in this casino can do so without affecting the public.
This would, of course, leave bankers who want to write mortgage loans to their personal clients, to have the right to sell those loans. So, they could structure packages of such loans, dividing them into segments for investors of varying risk/reward appetites, and sell those structured products. Products of that sort are sometimes called credit derivatives or mortgage derivatives. They wouldn't be allowed to trade in those loans for their own account, but they would be allowed to buy them for their wealth management clients.
We should have minimum net worth and risk acceptance policies for wealth management investors who accept products such as derivatives and hedge funds in their portfolio's.
Next would be a limit on size. There is simply no way around banks being too big to fail except that. We try and try to come up with regulations that will prevent excessive risk taking, but for institutions (of any kind) which are leveraged 10:1 or thereabouts, there simply will always be a risk of failure. More on regulation momentarily. So, we should define what is the maximum size to allow a bank to grow to, best defined in share of market. 5% would be a decent limit for consideration. Right now, we're around 50% of the market when combining the four largest banks in the US. That's too large.
The problem with regulation: We need regulations, but if they are too complex and if they require too much transaction analysis, the regulation is not effective. The reasons are that banks pay a great deal more for their decision making employees, such as lenders, and if the Federal Reserve's hires, who generally know far less about loan analysis, try to 2nd guess the bankers, it just doesn't work. They are directed to find problems, so they find some–but what they find are usually not the pockets of greatest risk, and an enormous amount of time and money is wasted on the part of the Fed and also the bankers. Better would be simple rules which end up forcing the unconventional loans to a different group of uninsured institutions. Of course, this means some market controlled inefficiency ala Adam Smith, but the tradeoff is worth it. Here's an example of a simple regulation: Minimum 15% down payment on any real estate loan, no matter the credit strength of the borrower–and the 15% cannot be borrowed from any other party–must come from liquid resources of the borrower. This is easy to monitor, and those who need to borrow (and can justify) with less down, can do so at non-bank, non-insured institutions. Of course loans with 15% down can still default, but at least there would be a lot less–and the regulators can't figure out which of the below 15% loans are risky, anyway. Many of those borrowers pay on time, but the down payment minimum would eliminate a significant segment of risk.
Here is another sure fire way to reduce risk for loans made by banks: limited liability. Banks should be prohibited from making loans with the borrowers exculpated from liability. There should be a minimum of liability that is required when borrowing from a bank, whether the borrower is consumer or commercial. 10% would be a good start. Competitive pressures have pushed banks to yield this valuable provision, and if it were universally required, bankers would welcome it.
And when commercial banks syndicate (sell to others) portions of the loans they create, they should be required to hold until full repayment, a portion of the loans made–again, 10% would be a good start. That way, they can't persuade themselves that it's a good loan for others.
Political campaign limitations should be voted in by the America people, since the Supreme Court is unwilling to do see it this way. We should not have massive amounts of money funding millions of advertising campaigns to enable election of people friendly to the wealth of the nation. This includes friends of bankers, but by no means limited to that industry.
And, those who work in government should sign a pledge not to work in any industry with which they had any association while in government, and we should not permit those in private industry to take on government oversight jobs involving the industry from which they came. A waiting period of 5 years should be sufficient. Similarly for lobbyists–5 year waiting period going in either direction.
This is just a start–but it would get us off to a good beginning to lesser risk, fewer failures, and less downside to the American public.

Probe Finds Hino Falsified Emissions Data Since 2003
Hino, a major affiliate of Toyota Motor Corporation falsified emissions data on some engines going back to at least 2003, more than a decade earlier than previously indicated, a company-commissioned probe shows.
The investigative committee blamed the scandal on an environment where engineers did not feel able to challenge superiors, in a rare criticism of corporate culture in Japan. The committee, composed of lawyers and a corporate adviser, was set up by Hino earlier this year after it admitted to falsifying data related to emissions and fuel performance of four engines.

The findings detail an inflexible atmosphere where it was difficult for staff to feel "psychological safety". A sense of past success on the part of management helped engender the culture, said committee chairperson Kazuo Sakakibara, who was the former head prosecutor at the Osaka District Public Prosecutors Office. In a briefing, he said:
"The magnitude of their past successes has made them unable to change or look at themselves objectively, and they have been unaware of changes in the external environment and values. The organization has become an ill-organized one where people are unable to say what they cannot do."
Hino's president, Satoshi Ogiso, apologized to reporters and said management took its responsibilities seriously. He said he had received a message from Toyota's president, Akio Toyoda, who said the misconduct at Hino has betrayed the trust of all stakeholders. Keep in mind Toyota owns 50.1% of Hino. The Japanese heavy vehicle maker said it would come up with a new corporate governance system within three months.

The automaker said the committee had found evidence of falsification stretching back to at least October 2003, as opposed to the previously disclosed timeframe of around 2016. The transportation ministry, which revoked the truck maker's certification of the affected engines in March, said it would conduct an on-site investigation of the company.
The committee did not find evidence that executives outside the powertrain unit were aware of the misconduct. The division requires high expertise, which hindered personnel changes and allowed misconduct to continue, committee member Makoto Shimamoto said.
"Misconducts have been passed down within the unit, but there were no monitoring functions in other units, which is a major issue. Even if there was no personnel movement within the organization, these issues should have been found."

An Englishman and an Argentine won on the European and PGA Tours respectively this week.
Chris Wood took home maximum points for Great Britain in Fantasy Golf this weekend, after he secured an impressive win at the Lyoness Open.
Rafa Cabrera-Bello took second place, with Robert Rock and Matthew Fitzpatrick continuing the theme of strong English performers.
Seung-Yul Noh claimed a much needed 315 points at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, with Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka among other players to take the same total.
Fabian Gomez was the surprise winner on Sunday in Memphis. Mickelson, Noh and Koepka weren't far back though as they began to finalise their preparation for the US Open on Thursday.
Chad Campbell and Russell Knox also had decent tournaments, taking 215 points each.
Wood earned comparisons to Nick Faldo on his way to winning in Atzenbrugg by two shots. Cabrera-Bello and Gregory Bourdy had been ahead of the Bristolian, before his surge left them fighting it out for second.
Fitzpatrick also enjoyed his second top 10 finish from the last three tournaments as he earned a T3 finish in Austria.
Curls is the new leader, displacing Monty's Majors. The inclusion of Mickelson and Billy Horschel was inspired as both took home big points.
Second placed Kiramy is 85 points behind.
Bernd Wiesberger's strong form at the Lyoness Open saw many select him for their team, with Mickelson and Dustin Johnson two other popular choices.
Jordan Spieth and Justin Rose were not in action and so were transferred, with Emiliano Grillo also removed from many of the teams.

A couple of Friday's ago we invited Alex North of Posse to come in to the Shoes of Prey office to present on Posse and what lessons we could take from their experiences to Shoes of Prey.
- Fans are motivated by things other than money eg. backstage passes, t-shirts, signed t-shirts etc.
- Posse is building a platform for bands to offer unique rewards like these, in exchange for completing challenges like selling a number of tickets, t-shirts etc.
- This model can work beyond bands. Eg. fashion. Fans of fashion brands are passionate about fashion brands, and rewards like early access to new styles, involvement in design decisions etc. could help engage fans.
- Social commerce - comparison to group buying. Group buying is not necessarily sustainable for all businesses, rewarding passionate customers who refer other customers can be sustainable.
Thanks again to Alex for coming in and presenting to us. I was particularly interested to hear about how Posse are utilising the game mechanics and point systems to reward their customers. It's something we've discussed quite a bit at Shoes of Prey before and provided some more food for thought.
We'll let you know when we've organised the next TechTalk.

The outage outrage
Nick Kristof, call your editor. The two of you committed a language gaffe -- by Times standards, at least -- in your Nov. 22 column. But I doubt that any ordinary New York Times readers saw the problem in your third paragraph:
A month ago, I would have written more snarkily about residential generators. But then we lost power for 12 days after Sandy -- and that was our third extended power outage in four years. Now I'm feeling less snarky than jealous!
I wouldn't have noticed it either, had I not learned of the issue two days earlier in the Times's weekly After Deadline blog. Commenting on a reference to "storm damage and power outages," Philip Corbett, the paper's standards editor, said, "The utilities prefer this euphemism, but we should call them what they are: blackouts or power failures."
Outage is a euphemism? In decades of editing and peeve-watching, I've never seen that nit picked. But Corbett is just enforcing the Times style guide, which (in the book version, published 1999) calls outage "jargon and a euphemism for failure, shutdown or cutoff."
I couldn't find much support for this notion in the usage archives, but one source went into it deeply enough that I suspect it of starting the anti-outage movement. That source is the Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins, by William and Mary Morris. In the second edition, published in 1977, the authors go into the outage question in detail:
One winter our town was hit by a particularly damaging sleet storm, with the result that we were without light and heat for five days. Partly out of understandable vexation at the hardships resulting, we expressed our displeasure at the term used by the electric light company to cover the situation. It was, they said, a 'power outage.' We thought 'power failure' would be more expressive – and said so.
The authors don't say where they expressed their displeasure -- perhaps in the first edition of their Dictionary, 10 years earlier -- but in response, they say, "a knowledgeable reader wrote," and they print his comment:
An outage is not a synonym for "power failure." In the electrical generating industry, the term covers any situation in which equipment is not functioning; it means simply "The equipment is out." It might be out for maintenance, improvement or replacement, as well as for breakdowns in service due to malfunction, accidents or acts of nature …
Knowledgeable Reader has a very plausible analysis of the situation:
I'm of the opinion that this bit of industrial jargon has moved from power plant usage to application throughout the industry and only recently into the vocabulary of the information media. Of course, the mass media's uses would be during times when the public was inconvenienced and doubtless irritated by unplanned, accidental outages. Perhaps that more restrictive application has resulted in the unfavorable connotation and impression, as you seem to have implied, that outage is a euphemism.
KR points out that this use of outage was newish in general usage and associated with a special lexicon, both traits that can arouse word rage. Indeed, in 1977, not long after the Morrises encountered their outage, the Times heard from a reader not enchanted with the novel usage:
Re: "Outage" -- a new word. In the "age" of lawlessness there should be no shortage of courage in dealing with an "outage" spawning "lootage" by "loutage." The system demands "stoppage" or there may be no system to salvage.
And the Morrises, as I read them, accept the Knowlegeable Reader's point of view. They don't press their case against outage; they give KR the last word. And they don't mention outage at all in the second edition of their Harper Dictionary of Contemporary Usage (1985).
But it's harder to kill a peeve than to invent it. Some editor apparently took the Morrises' initial rant to heart, and kept the animus alive long enough to infect a contributor to the Times style manual -- and now it's online, trolling for new fans. Here's hoping it fails; this misbegotten peeve has earned its current obscurity.

I share your reaction. To me, outage seems like the ordinary word. Power failure sounds odd to me—I'm not sure I've ever heard it, and if I did, I would probably think that it was the euphemism or jargon.
Kay L. Davies said...
I remember "power failure" and I am also familiar with "power outage" and you are right, this particular nit need not be picked. The two expressions have become synonymous in popular usage.
Jimbo said...
Power failure had long been the term of art for the power industry and the media until the techno-jargon folks took over the techno discourse. Now euphemisms like "outage" abound. Terms like outage are designed to be more anodyne than the more dramatic "failure" but also disipate the richness of public communication as a result.
empty said...
@Jimbo: You're saying that "power failure" had long been the standard jargon until some people you don't like introduced "outage" as the new term of art?
Gregory Lee said...
I think every power failure is an outage, but not every outage is a failure. A couple of weeks ago, I got a letter from my local electric company telling me they would be doing maintenance in my neighborhood which would require an outage the next week on Monday from 8am to 1pm (or something similar). If I substitute "failure" for "outage" in that notification, it no longer makes sense. You can have a planned outage, but not a planned failure.
Marc Leavitt said...
Subjects for quibble-ability are endless in English; -age is a long-standing suffix. I reserve my spells of peevage for more important matters.
Some newish "-age" words irritate me, for example "breakage" as in "to avoid breakage ..." in the care instructions for a coffee carafe. But "outage" does not.
Knowledgeable Reader make a good point that "outage" is a much more neutral term than "failure", not just in the way it sounds, but in it's meaning as well. And as Gregory Lee also points out, it's a word that the utility companies may have legitimate occasion to use other than, you know, just covering their asses.
!!?
"Outage" implies that the interruption may be temporary. "Failure" has a more permanent or serious connotation. "Outage" means it probably won't be too long until we return to "inage", onage", or "backage".
That anonymous comment, is that what spam looks like when you see the Matrix in its original code?
John Burgess said...
To my mind, a power failure is what the electric company has at its facility. An outage takes place somewhere along the delivery route.
If the power plant goes under water, that's a failure. If the lines are taken down by falling branches, that's an outage. It's also an outage if my fuse/circuit box blows up or my UPS doesn't hold its charge.
"Panicking will not likely assist you to in almost any way."
I can't help but agree with that.
Adrian Morgan said...
Here in Australia, "power failure" is the usual term in everyday conversation. I would be surprised to hear someone refer to an "outage" when relaying the day's events.
"Power outage" belongs to a more formal register, and is what I would expect to hear from representatives of electricity suppliers and probably newspapers.
Without a doubt, electricity providers prefer "outage" because its formal, matter-of-fact tone places less emphasis on the inconvenience caused by such events. But, contrary to the peevers, there's nothing wrong with that. The fact that language gives us synonyms we can use to place a different emphasis on a situation is one of its strengths.
"Power outage" is no euphemism, but a straightforward description: the power really does go "out". But perhaps we can understand the peevers better if we recognise that for them, "euphemism" is itself a euphemism (for "word I don't like"). Hmmm ... metaeuphemism. There's a thought.
raYb said...
Perhaps it comes from the "power is out," thinking, but, at bottom, the power has failed to reach the customer. A former editor of mine had this so-called "peeve," and it makes perfectly good sense. Power companies prefer "outage" because the power just goes out through no fault of the company, so the company has not failed.

The holidays may be over, but you've still got family enjoying an extended vacation in your home. Hopefully, they are sleeping soundly in your guest room. Quality guest mattresses are an important consideration when outfitting your household, yet frequently get overlooked. Used sporadically and for short periods of time, neglected or old guest room beds can leave friends, relatives and loved ones wishing they'd booked a room at a nearby hotel.
Fortunately, you don't have to spend a fortune when shopping for a decent guest room mattress that's comfortable for most sleep styles. But before you start searching for a bargain bed online, remember that spare bedrooms aren't exclusively for guests. If your partner has the flu or can't stop snoring, wouldn't it be wonderful to escape into your own, private room for some much-needed zzzz's? If the answer is yes, choose a mattress that you'd be happy to snooze on when the situation arises.
Going "super cheap" on a guest bed is never recommended. In the context of quality and durability, you get what you pay for. Even if it's only used one weekend a month, a good sleep set up can generally be found for under $700, and even less during mattress close-out sales.
Size considerations – If your spare room has enough space, we recommend a queen size mattress set which measures 60 inches by 80 inches. We promise your guests will thank you for the added wiggle room! By comparison a full bed offers just 54 by 75 inches of sleeping space, which can get a bit cramped between two adults.
Comfort scale – While grandma loves a soft mattress, Uncle Joe may need more support for his lower back. So how do you please both? Your aim is to get a mattress that accommodates all sleep styles and comfort preferences, whether they are side sleepers, stomach sleepers or slumber on their backs. Along these lines, you can look for a mattress that is rated Plush or medium Plush. Buffeted by added padding layers, these models relieve pressure points along the hips and shoulder and offer the perfect blend of firm support and downy comfort.
To Pillow top or not? – Want to treat your guests to an added touch of luxury? Pillow top beds like the collection from Simmons BeautyRest and Sealy Posturpedic are akin to sleeping on a cloud. Most commonly found on innerspring coil beds, pillow tops or similar cushioned bed-toppers are also available on latex, memory foam and hybrid mattresses.
An inviting and comfortable mattress goes a long way for visiting guests. Show your warmth and hospitality by choosing the best mattress for your guest room that fits within your budget. Right now, Mattress World Northwest is offering pillow top queen sets by Sealy for under $500, as well as major savings on other top brands.
Take advantage of our https://www.mattressworldnorthwest.com/mattress-deals/ and get select floor models at a whopping 30 percent off! Swing by one of our Portland-area outlets soon for assistance from our friendly Sleep Specialists. We're open daily from 10 AM to 7PM.

Is the Holness Administration in business with corrupt Israeli companies?
Canute Thompson
Conventional wisdom states that a person's friends — not his/her relatives — are proxy indicators of his/her character. The people who make progress in life are those who align themselves with powerful people and, by the same token, the people with whom time and accountability eventually catch up are those who align themselves with corrupt people.
I wish I could answer a categorical "no" to the question raised by the title of this article, but I can't. I do believe, however, that it is a question that must be answered given that Prime Minister Andrew Holness has confirmed, as I indicated in an earlier article, that the Government of Jamaica is doing business with Israeli companies and the Government of Israel.
While I have, due to ignorance, answered my own question in the negative, there are a number of important facts which can be asserted with confidence based on the quality of the sources on which I am relying. These facts concern the Government of Israel and at least one Israeli company. The nature of these facts, and the unknown facts about Jamaica's known relationship with Israel and companies connected with the Israeli Government, warrant that the public demands answers from Holness.
The prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been accused of corruption and bribery and the Israeli police have recommended that he be charged. Netanyahu has declared his innocence in a televised address in January 2019, but the allegations have not gone away. In fact, they go back several months as Ruth Margalit reports in a January 23, 2017 article in the New York Times.
Does it concern Prime Minister Holness that a head of state with whom he has established unprecedented close ties has been long accused of serious crimes? Would the nature of the relationship between Jamaica and Israel be affected if Netanyahu is charged and found guilty?
The Times of Israel, in a March 15, 2017 story by Judah Gross, reported that 13 people, some connected to the company Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI), have been charged with "deep corruption". Among those arrested is a former Israeli Defence Force officer, Amal Asad, a member of the company's board of directors. Another report in the Haaretz Israel News of March 16, 2017 describes the corruption scandal as involving "systematic criminal conduct" by the aviation giant. But Asad was not the only high-ranking person charged. The Jerusalem Post of March 15, 2017 reported that other executives and managers as well as consultants and vendors were charged. Meanwhile, The Times of Israel, in a February 4, 2018 report, disclosed that Israeli police had announced that a member of the Netanyahu Cabinet, Haim Katz, was to be also charged with bribery, fraud, and breach of trust while serving as the head of IAI's powerful union prior to joining the Cabinet.
IAI is a State-owned company which was set to be privatised and is the largest technology and military company in Israel. It has various subsidiaries and subcontractors. Its major products are military hardware and drones. The Haaretz business magazine, in a January 11, 2019 report, describes IAI as being in deep financial trouble due in part to competition from Indian companies, the Donald Trump policy of giving more business to American companies, and the corruption charges against some of its senior employees.
As I stated earlier, Holness has confirmed that the Government of Jamaica is doing business with an Israeli company and had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a cyber academy in Jamaica. The Government has also made provision of $2 billion in the budget for the Ministry of National Security to go directly to the Jamaica Defence Force for various security initiatives.
While mindful of the need for secrecy in some aspects of national security, can the prime minister give the assurance that it has done its due diligence and that none of the individuals or companies with which the Government of Jamaica is doing business in Israel has been charged with or involved in local or international crimes or corrupt activities?
Mindful that IAI is a state-owned company, with subsidiaries and subcontractors, and is the largest player in the aeronautical, military, and surveillance business in Israel, what are the chances that Jamaica's engagement with the Government of Israel and aeronautical and surveillance experts would not involve IAI?
Have the risks here been evaluated?
I submit that the principles of transparency and the need to invest heavily in the fight against corruption demand that the prime minister is open about the scope of the relationship with the Government of Israel and all companies connected with the country of Israel.

Tiny Moving Parts: Swell
Patrick Kennedy February 15, 2018
MusicMusic ReviewsRock Rotation 1
The growth and progression in sound of a band like Tiny Moving Parts through the years is something that a lot of groups strive for as they expand their catalogs. Each release from the Minnesotan three-piece band has been full of unique soundscapes that blend styles of emo, math-rock, post-hardcore, and pop punk. Since their first release of This Couch is Long and Full of Friendship back in 2013, their sound has grown heavier and more explosive, while still featuring the emotional deliveries and intricate riffs only available from front man Dylan Mattheisen. The new album, Swell, is the band's most confident and skillful attempt yet, and is another great addition to their discography.
The album opens with the second of three singles, "Applause", and is a great refresher of what this band is capable of. The familiar rapid shifts in trajectory and time changes are noticeably cleaner and tighter, and they've still got as much energy as ever. A lot of the instrumentation of the songs on Swell is also much brighter and refined than on that of their last album, Celebrate. In the next song, "Smooth it Out", and later on in "Malfunction", synths and keys are mixed in that have almost a playful sound that is reminiscent of bands like The Front Bottoms or Antarctigo Vespucci. Mattheisen's vocals are still as anxious and urgent as ever, and flow fantastically over the complex melodies and pop oriented choruses. The song "Whale Watching" has a frantic pace that is matched perfectly with the surging vocals and rapid fire chorus. Many overarching themes and connections from past albums are still present in the lyrics, but they're explored through various different perspectives. Mattheisen says the album title comes from the idea of brain cells sort of "swelling with happiness" and overcoming fears, anxiety, doubts, and negativity, and also just simply trying to stay optimistic through hard times.
Tiny Moving Parts is a band that never fails to push themselves into new territory with each new release, and Swell is no different. While the album is a step forward for the band, it also comes off as Tiny Moving Part's most accessible work as well. There's familiarity in the style of play and cadence in the songs, the group's sound continues to evolve and improve as something new can be found in each subsequent listen.
