Contact: Peg O'Laughlin, 202-205-1819
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, South Africa, Taiwan, and Turkey that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of China and Korea.
The Commission further determined that imports of these products that are allegedly subsidized by the government of Brazil are negligible.
All six Commissioners made a finding of negligibility with respect to imports that are allegedly subsidized by the government of Brazil and voted in the affirmative with respect to all other investigations.
As a result of the Commission's affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its antidumping duty investigations on imports of this product from Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, South Africa, Taiwan, and Turkey, and its countervailing duty investigations on imports of this product from China and Korea, with its preliminary countervailing duty determinations due on or about July 5, 2016, and its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about September 15, 2016.
As a result of the Commission's finding of negligibility, the countervailing duty investigation on imports of these products from Brazil will be terminated.
The Commission's public report Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, South Africa, Taiwan, and Turkey, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-559-561 and 731-TA-1317-1328 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 4615, May 2016) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.

Bianca Richardson had a problem. Unable to find a solution and being an enterprising Mum, she invented a product to solve it. Enter Houdini Stop, the world famous chest clip for car seats, strollers and high chairs! But she didn't stop there. Bianca has since invented many other wonderful products, all designed to help keep kids safe and make the lives of their parents easier.
We caught up with Bianca to find out more about the challenges of running a successful business while being a Mum!
What made you decide to start a business?
Why did you choose your specific business?
I invent and manufacture sanity saving products for people and care givers of small children. I have 8 'Houdini' products on the market. I started off at my kitchen table doing everything. 9 years later I employ several stay at home mothers to assemble my products and I use the special needs work facility in Cambridge to do the packaging. I still do the marketing and behind the scenes stuff, but I don't stay up until midnight working any more. I get to do the fun stuff now, and I can afford to pay for help with the trickier things.
What were the biggest challenges you faced when starting your business?
What did you do to overcome these challenges?
What are the hardest things about being a Mum and running a business?
The hardest thing is juggling family demands and business ones. I don't want the business to take priority as to me family comes first, but I don't want to be running an amateur operation where it takes days to react to business requirements. So, time management and also getting people to take me seriously. They needed to know that although I am working from home, I am actually working and running a proper business.
How did you first start selling your products or services to people?
What made you decide to get a website?
It was the thing I was advised to do at a free business course I attended. I also wanted to grow sales and increase awareness that you could actually now buy a chest clip.
What made you choose Website World as the one to build your website with?
It was free to set up and I could design it myself with the help of templates. It was only going to cost $25 a month to be hosted and I could make changes without it costing me. So, it was very well suited to my budget!
How have you found using Website World to run your business website with?
It's great. It is simple enough for silly old me to work, and if I get stuck there is people there happy to help. I have never had an issue with the website playing up and I have been able to pay, at a reasonable price, for some 'extra' help. Its great and I recommend them to everyone that asks about websites.
Have you found networking online with other business owners useful in helping you grow your business?
Any other comments about being a Mum and running a business?
If you could give a Mum wanting to start up her own business one piece of advice, what would it be?
Be passionate about your business. Your passion and belief will shine through and help you on your journey. Don't be the person who says….I wish I had done that…Just Do It. See how it goes and don't give in at the first hurdle. There are always different ways to do things, you just have to find what works for you. Start slowly and start with a mini, you can work up to Porsche. Starting small will help, build a solid foundation that will last.
Please visit Bianca's business Houdini Solutions Ltd or email her at houdinistop@xtra.co.nz for more information. Don't forget to check out her awesome Houdini products available for purchase online through her website and at stockists around the world!

Book - The Witch's Heart
We're honoured to be part of the final day of the Titan Books tour for Genevieve Gornichec's debut novel, The Witch's Heart. In an exclusive guest article for us, she shares her thoughts about Why the Norse Myths, and How We Talk About Them, Still Matter...
One of the most frequent questions I've been asked in interviews surrounding The Witch's Heart is why I think the Norse myths still resonate with us today, despite being written down eight hundred or so years ago and composed even earlier than that. Even with the recent resurgence of interest in mythology-based fiction, it's a question that really made me think.
When I was first asked this, I used to say that there must be something universally human about mythology in general, which is why it's endured so long. We must find something in these tales that we deeply connect with, regardless of modern advances. But as I kept studying, I started to realize that it's also really important to remember how they got to us, and who got them there.
Recent translations of old classics, like Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey and Maria Dahvana Headley's translation of Beowulf, have shown us that how words are rendered matter. I can't speak to other mythologies—I'm versed in Greek and Roman, but not enough to talk about them in this capacity—but in the case of the Norse myths, so much of what's in the public consciousness is inherited from Victorian-era scholars and their nationalistic agendas.
Right now, scholars in Viking Studies are working tirelessly to break down this view of Vikings (which was a profession, not a race of people), amid accusations of trying to project our own views into the past. But there is a difference between reading history with modern biases, and exploring history from a different perspective.
Despite the fact that the Icelandic sagas, whose historicity is debatable, do clearly indicate that Viking Age Scandinavia was a fiercely hypermasculine society where you could legally kill a man for insulting your manliness, there are two things to keep in mind: 1) The sagas were written down much later than the Viking Age by Christians, and 2) the Norse myths themselves are very queer, no matter how you slice it.
The evidence is right there in the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, our two main sources for Norse mythology, both recorded in the early thirteenth century in Iceland. Author Linnea Hartsuyker's 2019 article "Queer Asgard Folk" for The Public Medievalist's special series entitled Gender, Sexism, and the Middle Ages sums up some of the queerer aspects of the mythology quite well, from Loki's genderfluidity to Odin's use of seid or seiðr, which was considered to be women's magic.
What does this say about the people who lived in the Viking Age, who worshipped these gods? Amy Jefford Franks goes into detail about this in their podcast, Vikings are Gay! Outside of academia, it's so interesting to note how many people have taken this aspect of the mythology to heart — in the best possible way.
From fans of Marvel's Loki to modern-day practitioners of Norse paganism, some of whom are the most inclusive and welcoming people I've ever met, there is a movement toward questioning everything we were told about the Vikings, and you truly love to see it. I feel like I learn something new about the Norse myths every day, because no matter how long ago they were written down, the way we talk about them and think about them now matters. And I think that's why the heart of Norse mythology is still beating strongly today.
One of my goals in writing The Witch's Heart was to foster more conversations about how the Norse myths are interpreted, and I'm so grateful to The DreamCage for hosting me today. Thank you so much, and if you pick up the book, I hope you enjoy it!
Many thanks to Genevieve for a fascinating article and to Titan Books for including us in the tour. Please do visit the other websites/blogs on the tour - the full list is at the top of this article.
ABOUT THE WITCH'S HEART, out now from Titan Books
When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this fierce, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse myth.
Angrboda's story begins where most witch tales end: with being burnt. A punishment from Odin for sharing her visions of the future with the wrong people, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the furthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be the trickster god Loki, and her initial distrust of him and any of his kind grows reluctantly into a deep and abiding love.
Their union produces the most important things in her long life: a trio of peculiar children, each with a secret destiny, whom she is keen to raise at the edge of the world, safely hidden from Odin's all-seeing eye. But as Angrboda slowly recovers her prophetic powers, she learns that her blissful life and possibly all of existence is in danger.
Angrboda must choose whether she'll accept the fate that she's foreseen for her beloved family or rise to remake it.

Could a genetic mutation explain why some people with congenital hydrocephalus experience neurological problems? That's what a new study by Dr. Kristopher Kahle of Yale University suggests. The study was recently published in the journal, Neuron, and highlighted by Yale News.
There should be a medical profession /patient. Organization to bring pressure on the Congress to properly fund Hydrocephalus research. For the longest time, I have not heard a proper medical /patient cooperative political voice on this and other areas of medical research funding deficiencies. It's high time for doctors and patients to speak up with a loud voice to the political power in this country. It's time for action and courage –not just simple complaining about lack of research funding.
So what does on do who does not need a shunt?


Noa Minsker is an Israeli judoka who won the silver medal at the 2015 European championship under 23. She also won her first World Cup in 2015 in Sofia. She will be joining Israel Women's team at the 2016 NY Open Judo on March 20. She talked to us about her passion for her sport, the status of Judo in her country and what the future holds for her.
What lays ahead for you in your competitive Judo career?
steps ahead, you look far, and for me it is the 2020 Olympic games. Of course, there will be many tournaments along the way, just this very weekend I will compete in the European Open to be held in Sofia, Bulgaria.
How important for you is the NY Judo Open? What do you think about the status of the Olympic sport of Judo in your country?
NM: We've all been really flattered to get the invitation to participate in the NY Judo Open. It shows from how far our team came in the last few years. It is a good stage to show the depth of our team, it's not only a collection of individuals achievements, but also an opportunity to show the unity and team work of the national team.
I believe that the status of Judo in Israel is very strong. Judo is the top Olympic sport in Israel, with the most Olympic medals, and with teams that bring more and more winnings in each and every competition (even the younger ones).
NM: I find that judo is very different from other types of sports. Its most important value is respect - respect for your opponent, respect for the judge, respect for your entire surroundings. In addition, judo combines physical elements such as speed, strength, coordination, but also a lot of mental elements, such as learning to deal with defeat or how to perform under pressure. Most of the mental struggles you face within judo teaches you a lot about yourself, how you are actually stronger than what you even thought about yourself, but it also, with a little adjustments, teaches you how to solve challenges in your every day life.
Come watch Noa Minsker and her teammates from Israel Women's team, and more Judo athletes compete on Sunday March 20 at the NY Open Judo.

The picture was shot from The White Tower which is situated on the Warthe Hill. This tower is part of the former defense system of Brasov. Also, in the background of the picture the Tampa Mountain (995 meters) can be seen. From the top of Tampa a breathtaking view of Brasov and the surroundings is revealed. Many people say that Brasov (Kronstadt) is the most beautiful city from Romania. More information about Brasov you can get from http://www.brasov.ro.
Perhaps you can increase the contrast and put up the church.
25 years ago I visited Kronstadt. It's a beautiful city and I wish to visit again.
On the official site of Brasov (http://www.brasov.ro/info-utile/detalii-geografice/detalii-geografice-154.html) Tampa has 995 m. Anyway thanks for the comment.

Mission and Program
Americans for Tax Fairness was founded in 2012 to lead the fight against renewal of the George W. Bush tax cuts, which would have cost $3 trillion over 10 years. ATF is a 501(c)(3) project of New Venture Fund. (ATF's sister organization, Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund, is a 501(c)(4) project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund.)
ATF is a coalition of more than 400 national and state endorsing organizations that is guided by a Steering Committee of 30 national organizations drawn from unions, think tanks and advocacy groups. The coalition meets monthly to plan strategy and activities. ATF has a budget of about $1.2 million a year. (ATF Action Fund's budget is about $200,000.) Funding comes from the following sources: foundations: 60%; major donors: 20%; grassroots members: 15%; and unions: 5%.
ATF's mission is to raise $10 trillion over the next 10 years by enacting federal tax reform that makes the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes. We lost $2 trillion from the Trump-GOP tax cuts. The revenue would be used to invest in critical public services—healthcare, education, childcare, green energy, infrastructure—to make an economy that works for all by creating good-paying jobs, reducing inequality and closing the racial wealth gap.
Provide strategic direction and coordination to the coalition. ATF coordinates lobbying, public education, polling and messaging research, national and state communications strategies, field mobilization, and production of public education materials.
Play the leading role in shaping progressive tax reform messaging. ATF identifies and disseminates winning messages on tax fairness issues to policymakers, coalition partners and the media so that allies are singing from the same songbook. We do this by conducting polls and aggregating information from other public polls, and by preparing messaging materials that are adjusted as new issues and developments occur in the tax-reform debate.
Executing a robust communications program. ATF and its state partners secure up to 2,000 news stories and media mentions a year through earned media events, releasing reports, placing op-eds, and educating opinion writers. Our digital media program mobilizes activists through email and social media and engages Netroots groups and other coalition partners. We have a 750,000-person email list, 214,000 Facebook fans and 15,000 Twitter fans.
Coordinating coalition lobbying efforts in Congress and at the grassroots. ATF coordinates national partners' lobbyists to deliver a strong message to Congress. ATF mobilizes national and state groups to build a grassroots presence at meetings with policymakers, town halls, media events and to deliver our messages through email and social media.
Convening leading think tanks and constituency groups to identify research and policy needs and to prepare public education materials. ATF assists policymakers in developing progressive tax reform proposals and prepares scores of reports and fact sheets each year used to educate policymakers, the public and the media.

Q: Use TokenAuthentication AND SocialAuthentication from AllAuth I've created a new Django Rest API thanks to Django Rest Framework and I want to use two type of authentication : TokenAuthentication AND SocialAuthentication with two providers Facebook and Google.
Token authentication is success (with this syntax : Authorization: Token <token>. However, I can't get it to work with the SocialAuthentication. When I get the access_token from my POST in GoogleSocialLoginView, I can't use it to login in my others API call headers (I use an authenticated permissions for others CRUD calls).

        'LOCALE_FUNC': lambda request: 'en_US',
        'EXCHANGE_TOKEN': True,
        'VERIFIED_EMAIL': False,
        'VERSION': 'v13.0'
    }
}

My url.py file list this URL :
    path('auth/login/', obtain_auth_token, name='login'),
    path('auth/', include('dj_rest_auth.urls')),
    path('auth/registration/', include('dj_rest_auth.registration.urls')),
    path('auth/facebook/', FacebookLogin.as_view(), name='fb_login'),
    path('auth/google/', GoogleLogin.as_view(), name='google_login'),
    path('accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),

And finally, the GoogleLogin and FacebookLogin are the same as :
from allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook.views import FacebookOAuth2Adapter
from allauth.socialaccount.providers.google.views import GoogleOAuth2Adapter
from allauth.socialaccount.providers.oauth2.client import OAuth2Client

class FacebookLogin(SocialLoginView):
    adapter_class = FacebookOAuth2Adapter

class GoogleLogin(SocialLoginView):
    adapter_class = GoogleOAuth2Adapter
    client_class = OAuth2Client

Finally, I use this type of authentication for others CRUD calls :
from rest_framework import permissions

permission_classes = [permissions.IsAuthenticated]

Do you know a solution to use a token authentication and a allauth social authentication in the same User class ?
PS: I'm consuming the API from an Angular app.

A: It's important to keep in mind that there is a difference between the default authentication system in Django and the authentication system for DRF. In your DRF configuration, you have only specified two classes: rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication and rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication. The SessionAuthentication is the only one that is compatible with the default Django session authentication backend (but that may not be what you want anyhow).
As covered in the DRF API guide if you are using session-based authentication, you must include a CSRF token for authenticated requests:

If you're using an AJAX-style API with SessionAuthentication, you'll need to make sure you include a valid CSRF token for any "unsafe" HTTP method calls, such as PUT, PATCH, POST or DELETE requests. [...]
CSRF validation in REST framework works slightly differently from standard Django due to the need to support both session and non-session based authentication to the same views. This means that only authenticated requests require CSRF tokens, and anonymous requests may be sent without CSRF tokens.

So, if you are using a user's session (assuming you've authenticated the user's session previously) you will need to pass CSRF tokens when calling the DRF API in addition to the session cookie.

You may want to consider using an authentication method that works directly with DRF such as one recommended in the DRF docs like drf-social-oauth2. Then add it to your DRF authentication classes directly.

Iowa holds off Georgia Tech to win chilly Orange Bowl
foxsports Jan 5, 2010 at 12:00a ET
In the coldest Orange Bowl ever, the Iowa Hawkeyes' swarming defense kept the heat on Georgia Tech.
No. 10 Iowa solved Tech's explosive triple option and Ricky Stanzi threw two early touchdown passes for a 24-14 victory Tuesday night.
Despite a temperature of 49 degrees at kickoff, the Hawkeyes had Tech sweating from the start. The ninth-ranked Yellow Jackets averaged 35 points during the regular season, but their only score in the first three quarters came on Jerrard Tarrant's 40-yard interception return.
"This was Hawkeye weather," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "We feel right at home right now."
The Hawkeyes (11-2) earned their first Bowl Championship Series bowl win, matched the school record for victories and could claim their highest final ranking since finishing No. 3 in 1960.
Atlantic Coast Conference champion Georgia Tech (11-3) totaled nine first downs and 155 yards, both season lows.
"We haven't played many games like that," coach Paul Johnson said. "We couldn't seem to get anything going. We couldn't hit a pass play, couldn't hit a big play."
The Yellow Jackets were first in the nation in time of possession, second in rushing and 11th in scoring. But they sputtered against an Iowa defense that held four bowl-bound teams to 10 points or less during the regular season.
"If you say 'Hawkeye football,' it's defense," Stanzi said. "That's all it is: defense."
End Adrian Clayborn led Iowa's defensive charge. He had two sacks and nine tackles, including two for a loss, and was chosen the game's most valuable player.
Clayborn said last month he would return for his senior season rather than turn pro, and reiterated his plans after the game.
"He's shooting for national awards now," Ferentz said with a smile.
The victory was a sweet one for the Iowa coach, who lost to Southern Cal 38-17 in the Hawkeyes' only other Orange Bowl appearance seven years ago.
"The last time we were here – not because we lost, but because of the way we played – that was tough to live with," Ferentz said.
Ferentz misspoke in the postgame news conference when he referred to Tech as "Wake Forest," but he knew who the Hawkeyes were playing. While they had never faced the triple option in Ferentz's 11 seasons as coach, his staff had a month to prepare for Tech, and it showed.
The Yellow Jackets had only 14 three-and-outs during the regular season, fewest in the nation, but they failed to pick up a first down on their first four possessions.
"It's just a good thing we had a month to prepare, because it was difficult," Clayborn said. "It was a great plan. The coaches put us in the right situation to make plays."
Georgia Tech finally made a first down midway through the second quarter. The Yellow Jackets' first pass completion came 43 minutes into the game with Iowa leading 17-7.
Quarterback Josh Nesbitt went only 2 for 9 for 12 yards for Tech, which had a season-high seven punts. Jonathan Dwyer, a 1,300-yard rusher the past two seasons, netted only 49 yards on 14 carries against the Hawkeyes.
"They were good and they had some good players," Dwyer said. "But I really think that we just shot ourselves in the foot, man. We were just nervous."
Iowa true freshman Brandon Wegher rushed for 113 yards and one score on 16 carries. Stanzi went 17 for 29 for 231 yards in his return from a sprained ankle that sidelined him in the season's 10th game.
"It was great having Rick back. It was tough when he got injured," Ferentz said. "He did a great job leading us tonight – and what can I say about that defense?"
Tech's first scoring drive covered 71 yards, with Anthony Allen's 1-yard touchdown run making it 17-14 with 12:30 left.
Iowa drove 63 yards for the clincher. Wegher ran for 23 yards on one carry, followed by a 32-yard touchdown run with 1:56 to go.
The Hawkeyes had a 185-18 advantage in yards in the first quarter. Stanzi, playing his first game in two months, started 8 for 8 for 138 yards and two scores for a 14-0 lead.
"Apparently not too rusty," Stanzi said. "I did fear that."
Iowa lost a fumble at midfield on the game's opening possession, but Tech was quickly forced to punt for the first time in three games. Stanzi hit Tony Moeaki for a 54-yard gain, then threw to Marvin McNutt for a 4-yard score.
Tech again went three and out, and Iowa moved 83 yards to score in four plays. Stanzi threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Colin Sandeman.
The Yellow Jackets finally got their offense going to start the second half and drove 43 yards before missing a 41-yard field goal. Iowa then moved 59 yards, and Daniel Murray kicked a 33-yard field goal for a 17-7 lead.

The other day I needed to change the hosts file on my Google Nexus One (to actually point a domain name to a local dev environment so that I could test some mobile web application development I've been doing). I needed root access to do that and I ended up realising that I had lost root access (even after I manually hacked my way from the Vodafone 2.1 build to Android 2.2 when I got the device) by installing the 2.3.x upgrades.
I did a bit of digging around on how to get root access back with the GRK39F firmware and as it ended being up sort of being a puzzle game to find all the information, so I thought I'd put it all into a blog post.
It seems that what I'd usually would have used (Superboot) isn't supported on the Nexus One post firmware GRI40 anymore. Bummer. Luckily a guy from Germany ("Bexton" on xda-dev) forked Superboot and called it Bexboot and made it work on Android GRK39F on the passion hardware. The problem with that is that apparently his server is down or has been shut down and it was not as obvious to get instructions and the necessary files.
It's really straight forward – took me about 5 mins to actually apply the firmware change and I've got root access on my Nexus One again.
Obviously I'm not endorsing all this … insert more legal blabla here … Essentially: in case you read this and/or try to do anything I've described here, you're on your own. Don't ask me for help when you break your own or other people's devices, create a black hole, attract aliens or cause any other kind of harm to you, anyone or anything.
I did follow exact same procedure but my WiFi is now stuck at "Error" and won't start at all. Any ideas?


WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- With the debt issue temporarily sidelined, Republicans have turned their sights on the flawed enrollment system for the Affordable Care Act, officials say.
The troubles have led some members of Congress to call for the resignation of Health and Human Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, The Hill reported Friday.
"We need a Secretary who can admit when enough is enough," Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said last week in calling for her to resign after health insurance companies reported the online registration system had numerous glitches.
The full extent of the problem isn't known, but only a small number of consumers have completed the application process. HHS has declined to give actual numbers.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee has asked Sebelius to testify at a hearing next week. She has declined an invitation to attend, a response committee chair Fred Upton, R-Mich., called "wholly unacceptable."
Even comedian Jon Stewart has derided the start of the program. Interviewing Sebelius on The Daily Show, Stewart said, "I'm going to attempt to download every movie ever made, and you're going to try to sign up for Obamacare, and we'll see which happens first."
Republicans haven't been alone in their criticism of the program's fumbled start-up.
Robert Gibbs, President Obama's former press secretary, has said, "these are glitches that go, quite frankly, way beyond the pale of what should be expected."
The current White House press secretary, Jay Carney, has admitted the president is "not happy" about the problems, but rejected calls for Sebelius to step down.
Even so, conservative activists are working to undercut the law on the state level, The New York Times reported. In Virginia, a group called Americans for Prosperity is campaigning against politicians who want to expand Medicaid under Obamacare.
Tim Phillips, president of the group backed by the billionaire Koch brothers, described AFP's work as "trench warfare." Targeting a Republican state legislator from a conservative district, AFP activists knocked on 2,000 doors, distributed leaflets and turned up by the hundreds at a commission hearing wearing the group's iconic green T-shirts.
So far, Americans for Prosperity has spent millions running similar campaigns in states across the country.
"I don't believe this fight is in Washington or ever was," says Jennifer Stefano, who runs AFP's Pennsylvania chapter. "I think this is a street fight. It's a man to man, so to speak, fight of going door to door."

For example, if you are reading in a moving car, your inner ears and skin receptors are telling your brain that you are moving forward, but your eyes are on a motionless book and your muscle receptors reporting that you are sitting still. For some people this is OK, but for others some form of motion sickness will start to build up. Motion sickness can take the form of dizziness, exhaustion, and nausea which may growth to vomiting. Fear of motion sickness can make these feelings a lot worse.
So what can be done to shun motion sickness? If you often suffer from motion sickness there are a few things to try to make a journey more comfortable.
» Avoid heavy meals for two hours before the journey. Eat small amounts of something dry such as crackers, crisps or biscuits before the journey, don't eat any dairy products and avoid salad and fruit as it can be acidic. If possible don't eat whilst on the trip.
» Drink small amounts of non natural drinks. Don't drink milk or any natural juices such as orange juice and others with citric acid. Avoid alcohol.
» Try anti motion sickness pills, either from you doctor or homeopath.
» Acupressure bands work well for some people.
» Studies have shown ginger root can be effective against motion sickness. Ginger capsules are available or you can try a dose of about 1/2 teaspoon of dry powdered ginger, which is equivalent to approximately 1/3 ounce of fresh ginger root, which is roughly a 1/4-inch slice.
» Avoid staring out the window for long periods of time as this can create motion sickness.
» Keep still and move gently. If possible stay where there is the least movement.
» Alternative remedies such as EFT (or tapping), hypnosis or acupuncture may help.

McNally Capital Announces Investment in Re-Sourcing Holdings
Published January 17, 2020 ■ Headline News
McNally Capital has invested in New York City-based Re-Sourcing Holdings, a provider of strategic staffing, consulting, and direct hire solutions, focusing on compliance, legal, information technology, finance and accounting, and human resource jobs. Re-Sourcing serves clients through six brands: JW Michaels & Co., Compliance Risk Concepts, ExecuSource, Perennial Resources International, Partnership Employment, and Technology Navigators.
McNally Capital and Re-Sourcing Holdings are actively seeking add-on opportunities, specifically targeting lower mid-market temporary staffing firms in primary, secondary, and tertiary cities in the U.S. Among others, Jeff Bowling, founder and former chief executive officer of the Delta Cos., a Dallas-based staffing firm, participated alongside McNally Capital in the due diligence process and as a co-investor in the transaction.
Industrial production declined 0.3% in December, the third drop in the past four months, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve. Wall Street had anticipated the 0.3% decline. For the fourth quarter as a whole, industrial production declined at a 0.5% annual rate. Production retreated in three of the four quarters of 2019. Output was down 1.0% for the year.
Manufacturing output advanced 0.2% in December, but was down at a 1.0% rate for the fourth quarter. The increase in December came despite a 4.6% decline in output of motor vehicles and parts. Mining output rose 1.3% in December, while utility output declined 5.6% as warmer weather cut into the demand for home heating.
Capacity utilization dropped to 77% in December, the second lowest reading in 27 months. Capacity utilization remains below prerecession levels—above 80%—that economists say could fuel production costs and prices.
The lower your employee turnover rate, the less money your company spends on recruiting, new-hire administrative expenses, training, and any other costs associated with replacing employees.

The number of people applying for unemployment benefits in early January declined for the fifth consecutive week, signalling the labor market is sturdy. Jobless claims dropped by 10,000 to 204,000 in the week ended Jan. 11, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast a reading of 220,000. The monthly average of new claims declined to 216,250 from 224,000.
Claims declined to a 50-year low of 193,000 last April and have mostly hovered in the low 200,000s since then. Some companies have cut employment in the past few months, primarily in manufacturing, energy, and transportation. However, layoff figures remain very low.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia says manufacturing activity in the region increased this month, according to firms responding to the January Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey. The survey's indicators for current activity, new orders, shipments, and employment were all positive and increased from their readings in December. The survey's future activity indexes remained at relatively high readings, suggesting continued optimism about growth for the next six months.
Nearly 28% of the firms reported higher employment, while 9% reported lower
employment. The average workweek index remained positive but edged down three points.
Beige Book: Modest Economic Growth Amidst Tight Labor Market
Economic activity generally continued to expand modestly in the final six weeks of 2019, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve's "beige book." Manufacturing activity remained essentially flat in most districts. Business in nonfinancial services was mixed but, on balance, growing modestly.
Employment was steady to rising modestly in most districts, while labor markets remained tight. Most districts cited widespread labor shortages as a factor constraining job growth. A few districts noted brisk demand for professional, technical, and managerial workers. A number of Districts reported job cuts or reduced hiring among manufacturers, and there were scattered reports of job cuts in the transportation and energy sectors. Wage growth was characterized as modest or moderate in most districts—similar to the prior reporting period—and there were scattered reports of wage increases from year-end hikes in minimum wages. A few districts also noted the use of benefits, incentives, training programs, and automation to reduce vacancies.
Volt Information Sciences Inc. reported net revenue of $258.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, down 2.4% from $264.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. The company reported a net loss of $749,000, compared with a net loss of $2.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Over the same period, North American staffing revenue totaled $216.6 million, down from $220.5 million, and international staffing revenue totaled $30.6 million, up from $27.3 million.
For all of fiscal year 2019, net revenue totaled $997.1 million, down 4.0% from $1.0 billion in fiscal year 2018. The company reported a net loss of $15.2 million, compared with a net loss of $32.7 million for fiscal year 2018. Over the same period, North American staffing revenue totaled $830.9 million, down from $860.5 million, and international staffing revenue totaled $114.4 million, from $117.4 million.
Linda Perneau, president and chief executive officer, said, "We exited or de-emphasized less profitable businesses, while placing a greater focus on growing business with attractive margin profiles. We did this while implementing significant cost savings, organizational changes, process changes, and updates to our systems. The positive results of these changes are just beginning to manifest in the form of improved financials."
The Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine Index rose in December and now stands at 102.4, up from 101.7 in November. The index declined 0.3% from the prior month and is down 2.0% from a year ago. The professional occupational category experienced increases in community and social services (2.0%), health care practitioners (1.8%), architecture and engineering (1.0%), and computer and mathematical science (0.7%). The services and production occupational category experienced increases in farming, fishing, and forestry (3.9%), building and grounds (3.6%), health care support (2.5%), and personal care and service (1.4%).
Kelly Services has acquired Insight, a Cherry Hill, NJ-based education service staffing firm that has partnered with school districts in Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Insight will merge with Kelly Education.
The wholesale cost of goods and services barely advanced in December, suggesting there was little inflationary pressure building up at the end of 2019. The producer price index edged up 0.1% last month. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast a 0.2% rise. Wholesale inflation increased just 1.3% in 2019—half as much as it did in 2018.
The cost of goods rose 0.3% in December, with most of the increase linked to higher prices for gasoline. Energy prices increased 3.3% in 2019 but are still fairly low overall. Core PPI, which strips put food and energy, ticked up 0.1% last month. The 12-month core rate rose to 1.5% from 1.3%, but it's much lower now that it was a year ago.
New York Fed: Manufacturing Activity Little Changed
Business activity grew to a small degree in New York State, according to firms responding to the January 2020 Empire State Manufacturing Survey. The headline general business conditions index was little changed at 4.8. New orders and shipments edged higher. Delivery times were somewhat shorter, and inventories held steady. Employment continued to expand, though the average workweek was unchanged. Both input prices and selling prices increased at a significantly faster pace than in December. Optimism about the six-month outlook remained subdued, and capital spending plans remained firm.

§ 1 General, Scope of Validity
Solely our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery below (hereinafter referred to as "Terms and Conditions of Delivery") apply for all offers, orders, contracts and deliveries, including those in the future, (hereinafter referred to as "Deliveries") in business transactions with businesses, legal entities under public law or special assets under public law (hereinafter referred to as "Buyer").
§ 2 Scope of Validity, Version, Exclusion of other Terms and Conditions
(1) Solely the Terms and Conditions of Delivery in their respectively valid version apply for our Deliveries. On request, we will send a copy of them to the Buyer.
(2) The Terms and Conditions of Sale also apply within the framework of ongoing business relationships between ourselves and the Buyer if they are not explicitly agreed again between the parties.
(3) We hereby refute the validity of different general terms and conditions of business of the Buyer, or such that deviate from these General Terms and Conditions of Delivery, unless we have explicitly agreed to their validity in writing.
§ 3 Conclusion of Contract
(1) The Buyer's order is a binding offer. We can accept the offer within two weeks after receipt. It is accepted either in writing or by delivery of the goods to the Buyer.
(2) The scope of performance will be definitively determined by our written order confirmation and its appendices. Side agreements and changes to the content of the contract require our written confirmation.
(3) Our offers are subject to change with regard to delivery quantity, delivery time and price. We reserve the right to prior sale. Agreed prices are in EURO and exclusive of VAT unless otherwise explicitly agreed.
§ 4 Delivery
(1) Delivery is performed as quickly as possible unless specific delivery times are agreed. From the outset, the Buyer agrees to an appropriate subsequent delivery period of one week. We are entitled to provide the contractual performance in partial Deliveries, which are to be remunerated as independent services.
(2) Delivery obligations are subject to the reservation of correct and timely self-delivery, unless the incorrect or delayed self-delivery is caused by us.
§ 5 Transfer of risk
(1) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the goods will be dispatched "ex works" at the cost and risk of the Buyer, even within the same place of dispatch. This applies even if the goods are transported in our vehicles.
(2) On written request from the Buyer, we will take out insurance against theft, breakage, transport damage, fire damage, water damage or other damage for the respective delivery. The costs incurred as a result will be borne by the Buyer.
(3) If the Buyer does not reimburse the cost of the means of transport, transport routes, packaging or insurance requested by it plus an overheads supplement of 15%, we are free to choose these performance features.
§ 6 Force Majeure
In the event of force majeure or similar events (e.g. war, strike, lock-out, sovereign regulations, general scarcity of raw materials, energy, operating materials or transport possibilities) or unforeseeable disruptions to performance for which we are not responsible and that make delivery by ourselves or our pre-suppliers fundamentally more difficult or commercially or de facto impossible, we have a right of withdrawal. Compensation claims on the part of the Buyer are excluded in this regard. If our costs for the contractual performance substantially increase as a result of events pursuant to sentence 1, we are entitled to offer to the Buyer an adjustment of the contract and, if the Buyer does not accept within an appropriate period of time, to withdraw from the contract.
§ 7 Notice of Defects, Warranty, Liability
(1) The Buyer must examine the goods immediately after they are delivered and notify us of any obvious defects within three days of delivery and any concealed defects within three days of their discovery, by telephone, by fax or by e-mail. Otherwise, the goods are deemed to be accepted.
(2) Information about dimensions, weights or other physical performance features, irrespective of whether they are included in prospectuses, technical drawings or other contractual documents, are merely information about approximation values and are not deemed to be an agreed property without any explicit additional assumption of guarantee by us.
(3) Frozen goods that are the subject of a notice of defects must be stored at a temperature of at least minus 18° Celsius, fresh goods at a temperature of 5 °C or below, before they are inspected by us. In the event of return or forwarding of goods at our request, the Buyer must vouch for the observation of a seamless refrigeration chain during proper transport.
(4) In the event of defective goods and a timely notice of defects, we are obligated to eliminate the defect or to make a substitute delivery at our discretion (subsequent performance).
(5) If the subsequent performance fails, if it is impossible, if it is refused by us or if it cannot be reasonably expected of the Buyer, the Buyer can withdraw from the contract or reduce the purchase price. In the case of minor defects, the Buyer's right to withdraw is excluded.
(6) As a fundamental rule, we do not give any guarantees in the legal sense. This does not affect manufacturer's guarantees explicitly assumed as such.
(7) No legal obligation can be derived from the partial or complete return of sold goods and the acceptance of the return consignment by us. Goods are fundamentally accepted for reasons of goodwill.
(8) Claims due to a defect in the object of purchase or due to a delay in performance become time-barred one year after delivery of the goods, except in the event of fraud. Other claims (i.e. damage claims) become time-barred six month after the time Buyer took notice of the claim, but latest one year after occurrence of damage if the claim was not asserted in court before.
(9) Unless otherwise determined below, further claims of the Buyer irrespective of the legal grounds are excluded. We are therefore not liable for damage that has not occurred on the subject of delivery itself. In particular, we are not liable for loss of earnings and damage to other assets of the Buyer. The above disclaimer of liability does not apply in the case of damage from injury to life, body or health or if the cause of the damage is due to wilful intent or extremely gross negligence. It also does not apply if the Buyer is entitled to file for compensation due to non-performance, based on a guarantee. However, liability is restricted in this regard to the foreseeable damage typical of such contracts.
§ 8 Further Liability
(1) Liability on our part for compensation that goes beyond that in Section 7 is excluded, without consideration of the legal nature of the claim filed.
(2) Liability pursuant to the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) is not affected by the terms and conditions of sale. This provision also applies for other mandatory statutory regulations.
(3) If the liability on our part is excluded or restricted, this also applies for the personal liability of our staff, employees, colleagues, representatives and vicarious agents.
§ 9 Retention of title
(1) We reserve retention of title to the goods sold until the complete final payment of all receivables arising from the business relationship. The crediting of checks is not deemed to be a final payment until the right of reclaim customary in banking has expired. In the case of cheque and bill transactions, ownership is not transferred to the Buyer until the latter has fulfilled all liabilities arising from the cheques and/or bills. In the case of a running account, the retention of title applies until the first repayment of the receivables balance.
(2) The Buyer is entitled to resell the goods under retention of title in ordinary business. If the goods under retention of title are sold by the Buyer on their own or together with other goods, the Buyer already assigns to us now the receivables resulting from the resale to the value of the goods under retention of title (end invoice amount, including VAT) with all ancillary rights and rankings. We hereby accept this assignment. The right to resell the goods under retention of title expires in the event of arrears in payment or insolvency on the part of the Buyer. In this case, the Buyer has to surrender the goods under retention of title to us on our first written request.
(3) In the event of the goods under retention of title being processed or refined, we are entitled to ownership of the resulting new item in the ratio of the value of the goods under retention of title (end invoice amount including VAT) to the value of the other processed goods. Paragraphs 2, 4 and 6 apply accordingly for the fractional right to the new item created by processing to which we are entitled.
(4) We are entitled to notify the retention of title and the assignment of receivables agreed with the Buyer to the third-party debtor/creditor of the Buyer. The Buyer must immediately notify its creditors of the right of retention if the latter view the goods under retention of title as a security/usable pledge and it must notify us about impending utilisation measures by its creditors.
(5) We will waive the collateralisation rights if their value exceeds our receivables by more than 10% and the Buyer demands the release.
(6) In the event of pledges or other intervention by third parties, the Buyer must notify us of this immediately in writing so that we can file third-party proceedings. If the third party is unable to reimburse us for the judicial and extra-judicial costs of third-party proceedings, the Buyer is liable for the loss incurred by us. The Buyer is not entitled to encumber the goods under retention of title with the rights of third parties.
§ 10 Payment
(1) Payments must be made without any deduction within 7 calendar days of invoice date. Payment is to be made in Euro. If the country, in which we have our registered office and/or the supplier has its registered office at the time when the contract is concluded, should leave the European Monetary Union then in cases of doubt the price is to be paid in the currency that applies for the country in which we have our registered office when the contract is concluded.
(2) Payments will be used to pay the oldest due liability. Payment with bills is only permitted on explicit agreement and even then it only applies for reasons of performance. Expenses incurred will be charged to the Buyer and are due immediately. In the event of payment by cheque, the cashing of the cheque and not its receipt at the company is deemed to be payment.
(3) In the event of arrears in payment, substantial deterioration in the asset or income circumstances of the Buyer or a substantial risk to assets, we may demand either securities on the part of the Buyer, performance step by step or make all receivables against the Buyer due through unilateral written notice, after issuing written notification and setting an appropriate payment deadline. Pursuant to the respective statutory provisions, after the expiry of the deadline to no avail, we are entitled to withdraw from the contract and demand compensation instead of performance.
(4) The Buyer falls into arrears without requiring a reminder if the payment deadlines are not complied with. In this case, we are entitled to demand arrears interest of 9 percentage points above the respective base interest rate of the European Central Bank p.a. We reserve the right to file further claims.
(5) Payments to our representatives or staff are only valid if the latter submit a power of attorney for collection on receipt.
(6) Unless otherwise agreed, the Buyer also has to pay the statutory VAT incurred on the remuneration, in addition to the remuneration itself.
(7) If customs, freight charges, insurance premiums or other ancillary costs to be indicated separately are included in our remuneration, the Buyer will bear each increase in such expenses and costs that occurs after the contract has been concluded.
(8) Retention rights of the Buyer and the offsetting with counterclaims are waived unless the counterclaims of the Buyer are undisputed or established in a court of law.
(9) We can offset with our own receivables or with receivables of our own subsidiaries or shareholdings against receivables of the Buyer to one of these companies.
§ 11 Product Packaging
(1) In the event that the Buyer makes specifications regarding design and layout of product packaging, the Buyer shall ensure that specifications comply with applicable law and rights of third parties are not violated. We are not obliged to audit separately.
(2) The Buyer shall herewith assign to us the simple exclusive right of use for all layout specifications (designs, pictures, brands, texts, etc.) prescribed by him which are subject of product packaging, if necessary for the production, labeling, packing and contractual distribution.
(3) The Buyer must ensure that he holds the necessary transferable rights of use.
(4) The Buyer shall hold us harmless and shall indemnify us from any third party claims (including legal prosecution and defense costs at the statutory rate), which third parties may enforce against us with regard to layout specifications from the Buyer.
§ 12 Inspections
Officially sealed counter samples left behind during food inspections are to be provided to us.
§ 13 Language Version
These Terms and Conditions of Delivery are available in German and English language. In case of deviations between the different language versions, the German version shall prevail if the Buyer has its registered office in Germany or Austria, otherwise the English version shall prevail.
§ 14 Choice of Law, Performance, Place of Jurisdiction
(1) The Customer's business relationship with us is governed by the law of Austria. The applicability of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. The Incoterms 2010 also apply. The place of payment and sole place of jurisdiction shall be the place of our registered office. We reserve the right to also file legal action at the Buyer's domicile.
(2) The invalidity of individual terms and conditions does not affect the validity of the remaining terms and conditions. The same applies if individual terms and conditions do not become part of the contract. The invalidity or incompleteness of single, individually negotiated agreements does not affect the validity of the rest of the contract.

Stoic Q&A: what about slavery?
B. writes: one thing that I continue to struggle with is the notion of Amor Fati. I know that Epictetus was a slave and embraced Stoicism, but I find it difficult as an African-American to embrace this philosophy which is quite silent about slavery. I know this has been touched on a bit by a number of authors (and that Stoicism did not have the time to evolve like other philosophies or religions over the past few centuries or millennia on this issue), but I find it hard to love fate in the context of American chattel slavery. And I don't know what to do with this and Stoic philosophy. This is not helped by the fact that most of my Stoic heroes or modern-day exponents are White straight men who may face personal challenges — like all humanity — but do not face systematic oppression or marginalization in the ways that other groups do.
I have heard that Nelson Mandela was inspired by Stoicism, but I have not deeply researched to what extent it informed his actions. Maybe all philosophies of life break down at some point? Maybe Stoicism is great at the individual level, where pragmatic action can be directed locally towards the most useful ends? Or maybe a Stoic sensibility and perspective can enable someone to have the courage to fight (in sort of a Cato way) for justice? And I wonder if this raises a larger question about the inherent benevolence of Nature and how even bad things serve some greater purpose — which I cannot accept in general and which sounds repugnant in the context of American slavery and the manifestations of racial subjugation.
These are all excellent and rather tough questions. Let me try to break them down and at least begin to address a number of them, though you should consider this only part of a long, overdue, and complex conversation.
It's a tricky idea, because if read at face value — in both Epictetus and Nietzsche, for that matter — it implies a sort of passivity and quietism. But we know from the broader context of Stoic (and Nietzschean) writings, as well as from the personal stories of many Stoics (and of Nietzsche) that that can't be the right interpretation. Rather, amor fati is best understood within the basic concept of the dichotomy of control, and it is therefore an exhortation to accept what one cannot change, as part of what Providence or the universe throws at us (I'll come back to this distinction near the end).
That said, it is certainly the case that no Stoic questioned the very institution of slavery. But it is rather unfair to criticize Stoicism in particular for this failure. Every single ancient philosophy and religion, including Christianity, has incurred in the same failure. Indeed, a few months ago I was in Rome and visited the Ara Pacis Museum, built around the altar to peace ordered by Octavian Augustus, the first Roman Emperor. The exhibit concluded with a bit on Christianity, and reminded visitors not only that Paul and several other Church fathers had written in support of slavery, but that the early Popes and cardinals actually owned slaves, and thought it perfectly normal to do so. Modern Christians, of course, reject slavery, and so do modern Stoics, and I think you should keep that in mind in your evaluation of the philosophy, as it would be rather odd to judge Christianity by its modern outlook, while holding modern Stoics to what the ancients thought, or failed to think.
In terms of Stoic role models, yes, most of them are white men, no way around it. But I would suggest that this is simply a historical accident — rather like saying that most Confucian philosophers are Chinese — instead of an indictment of the philosophy. Indeed, it is precisely by spreading Stoicism among women, transgenders, blacks, Hispanics, and so forth that we will see the emergence of new role models. Mandela himself, incidentally, was not a Stoic, but Martha Nussbaum (in this article, and in the book it refers to) tells the story of how he was inspired to set aside his anger and embrace an attitude of forgiveness and peace by reading a smuggled copy of Marcus' Meditations. Perhaps you yourself can be a role model to others, by exemplifying Stoic philosophy with your own behavior.
You mention that Stoicism is an individual-level philosophy, and that is certainly the case. Indeed, all ancient virtue ethics was individual-level, not recipes for the organization of society. These were personal philosophies, aiming at improving ourselves first and foremost. Society, then, becomes better from the bottom up, so to speak, because more and more individuals act for the common good — a major point of Stoicism. One may see this as a limitation of virtue ethics in general, and of Stoicism in particular. Then again, given the questionable record, ever since the Enlightenment, and up to the 21st century, of top down philosophies (e.g., communism, neoliberalism, no to mention of course several flavors of fascism) to bring about justice and happiness, perhaps it is time to give the botton up approach a new chance.
In this respect you are correct in linking the virtue of justice (and the related Epictetian discipline of action) with the courage to fight against tyranny and injustice. Surely if more people took this seriously, instead of simply starting entirely pointless hashtag campaigns meant more to signal their own virtue to the in-group than to effect any actual change, the world would be a bit better. Moreover, keep in mind that Stoicism, as I've written recently, is not a magic wand: it isn't, by itself, goin to solve the world's problems. That is up to the collective efforts of humanity, not to any individual. Again, by comparison, you could just as easily declare Christianity, Buddhism and so forth an abject failure because after thousands of years of existence we still have wars and injustices, sometimes even — ironically — in the very name of those religions.
Regardless of whether there is a plan or not, in other words, and whether the plan is the result of the intentions of a deity or the byproduct of the doings of a cosmic organism, it simply does not matter. We still need, as human beings, to get up in the morning and do the job of human beings. And what is that, exactly?
Let's get to work, shall we?
This entry was posted in Social living, Stoic Q&A on October 19, 2017 by Massimo.
Good points, both in question and answer. I believe it is important to keep an open mind and do not get stuck in the mindset of 2000 years ago. Stoicism is a great source of insights but there is much more to life than it. I suggest exploring many other currents and ultimately arriving at ones own realisations. Cheers!
This is an excellent question, and certainly a "long, overdue, and complex conversation," as Massimo puts it.
To add just a little bit, I'd like to point out that the this kind of issue is exactly what motivated some of us to start the "Stoics for Justice" group on Facebook last year (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1853809494834681/).
We wanted a modern Stoicism that could speak powerfully to topics like racism, social justice, and activism, and that has something substantive and competent to say to people who personally live through such challenges.
If you're looking for people of color with strong Stoic tendencies, Mahatma Gandhi's approach to life and politics strongly paralleled Stoicism. The book, "Gandhi and the Stoics" by British historian Kharsedji Sorabji, bears out the affinity between them. And of course, Gandhi had a quite an influence on Martin Luther King's nonviolent approach to the American civil rights movement.
This is a superb Q & A, that has given me a lot to reflect on this morning. I have often been disturbed by the fact that the ancient Stoics did not address the question of the institution of slavery when it seems that they came so close to encountering that question by embracing the common humanity principle strongly enough to have cosmopolitan aspirations. But Massimo is certainly right that rejections of the institution of slavery are very hard to find anywhere in the ancient world. And, if we put together Orlando Patterson's massive comparative study Slavery and Social Death with the cognitive implications of sociological theories that emphasize the screening effects of "forms of consciousness" we may be able to justify the supposition that for most of human history we were simply unable to imagine that slavery could be eliminated in large-scale societies. Thus the general silence from both philosophy and religion on the question. But I am far from settled on that answer. So I am still thinking.Thanks to you both for this discussion.
But it is rather unfair to criticize Stoicism in particular for this failure. Every single ancient philosophy and religion, including Christianity, has incurred in the same failure.
So much the worse for every single ancient philosophy and religion. After all, it's not like B. claimed that some other ancient philosophy or religion was superior to Stoicism.
So one might reframe the question as: Why should I look to antiquity for solutions to modern moral problems? Where's the relevance, in other words?
psychobiologically speaking – over the millennia, so the moral challenges they faced in the ancient world can help put our challenges more into perspective).
But the answer that I keep coming back to pertains not specifically to Stoicism but to virtue ethics in general, which is that modern secular ethics has been sorely lacking in it and could use a lot more of it: albeit, with less emphasis on emulating ancient (white male) role models and with greater inclusion of modern heroes (like MLK, Gandhi, Malala Yousifazi, etc.).
Other than the fact that human beings have not, in fact, changed much, the point is that Stoicism is being updated for the 21st century (by Larry Becker, myself, and several others), just like other philosophies and religions have been.
Maybe we could divide Stoic ethics into two separate areas: the actual moral claims that Stoicism makes, and the tools it gives its followers to pursue them. The first would be "Exercise Virtue" which would be further divided into the 4 traditional virtues. In the context of the question, I suppose the definition of justice would be expanded in modern Stoicism to include a prohibition on slavery. Massimo, Larry et al's work has shown than updating the philosophy in the light of subsequent discoveries is perfectly reasonable, and this particular instance does not seem too much of a stretch. The tools Stoicism gives seem psychologically valid and therefore remain useful.
I always slightly worry when we adopt moral superiority to the ancients that while our current morality is more expansive, there is no sign that we are any better at following it than our forebears were theirs.
If one is really in love with everything that happens (amor) then the problem is insoluble because you'll be approving of contradictory things. (Freedom and slavery). I think it is Nietzschean rather than Stoic. For Stoics the attitude is one of welcoming since whatever comes is a product of or is the good logos. For a neutral logos the attitude would be cautious but indifferent since you have no way of knowing what it is.
…the point is that Stoicism is being updated for the 21st century (by Larry Becker, myself, and several others), just like other philosophies and religions have been.
And, from what I've seen, you're all doing a fine job of it, Massimo, as far as one can go in that direction.
My point is that updating an antiquated philosophy or religion is not an obviously good idea, particularly to those who are (shall I say?) less culturally invested in that tradition.
I read B's question as an indication that you have your work cut out for you in selling Stoicism to a non-white audience…to which I should add: non-male and non-macho audiences, as well, given Seneca's use of 'effeminate' (or its Latin equivalent) to characterize those whom he deemed moral failures.
That said, the Nelson Mandela story (care of Martha Nussbaum) that you mentioned above is a good example of expanding the circle to include role models who may not meet the strict criteria of a Stoic, but who nonetheless warrant our praise and admiration. Now that we are a part of a global civilization with numerous moral traditions from around the world in play, where cosmopolitan values can be tested like never before, virtue traditions like Stoicism (and Epicureanism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, etc.) can and should inform modern ethics, though the lessons we draw from tradition may be negative as often as they are positive, given how we're situated today.
Indeed, though I would add two caveats. First, I'm not in the business of selling Stoicism, but of simply putting it out there as a valuable option. Second, I do regard other traditions, like Buddhism, Taoism, etc., as just as good and valuable. So long as we can get more people to embrace an ethical life and reflect on what they do and why, I think we are all going to be better off.
Massimo: I intended "selling Stoicism" not literally (as in: trying to profit monetarily from it), but rather metaphorically (as in: persuading others that it's a "valuable option"). Sorry if that wasn't clear enough.
Glad to end on an agreement. As you may recall, I take an eclectic approach to the topic of morality/ethics, so for me it's not about picking any one tradition and then locking into it (although that ship may already have sailed, simply by virtue of being a socially liberal North American secular humanist).
A well thought out response, I think, to this irksome question. It is indeed unfortunate that slavery until very recently was not widely condemned. There's a telling passage in Politics, by Aristotle, where he goes about justifying slavery even while admitting it is an injustice. So clearly even the wisest in history saw discrepancy between the injustice of slavery and the societal acceptance of it, and held that cognitive dissonance. As you point out, colonial slavery even had to invent racism to justify it.
As to the point of justice in general, I would like to point out a notable difference between Stoicism and most religions, in that Stoicism demands that justice come from humans, not the gods, while many religions, like Christianity, believe all virtues spring from the divine. In Stoicism, it is for humanity to make use of the virtues that are granted to us, if only we choose to. We cannot expect justice to fall from the heavens, any more than we can expect to harvest money from trees.
Not actually alone. See the quote from Diogenes Laertius in the post scriptum.
Thanks Massimo, for appending Donald Robertson's reminder of the passage in DL VII. 121-122. It is certainly an important reminder. The sentence about "lordship" being evil Is especially pertinent to the discussion at the point you raised it. When I confess it is a point I have trouble remembering. Maybe that is because in DL it is buried in a long and perplexing discussion of differences between the good man and the bad man (VII. 118-125). And in that context I don't quite know what to make of it. That longer discussion has the cumulative effect of saying that only good/wise men can be free, rulers, magistrates, and orators – and for practical political purposes it is not clear what that leaves for people who don't live up to the standard of Stoic wisdom and good character. Maybe what it rules out is chattel slavery and particularly ruthless forms of subordination? Hence the frequent reminders in Seneca that we should treat slaves as fellow human beings – while presumably leaving them un-emancipated. That just makes the original question about Stoicism and slavery more pressing for me, partly because I think Stoicism does have the resources to give a robust answer about the injustice of slavery as an institution.
Since it is difficult to think of a civilization that the Stoics could have known about which did not practice slavery, I wonder if they just assumed it was a fact of nature which could perhaps be mitigated, but not eliminated. In the same way that illness could not be avoided, but could be treated (successfully or otherwise), so it was the duty of a Stoic to treat his slave well, but not necessarily to free him as it was a "natural" state for some of humanity, and might be that "fate" of the particular slave in question.


A Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, the American Health Care Act (AHCA), has been proposed and some conservative members of congress are, to put it mildly, not on board.
Leftists continue to ramp up their campaign to disrupt the country, the presidency, and the life of the average American. The executive actions taken by Donald Trump, a rare president who follows through on campaign promises, have come at a dizzying pace. Activists are left with hard decisions about which issue to protest and what public space to block on a given day.
