The Crown Prince
Everyone knew that the Crown Prince was a troublemaking lordling. Even the Emperor had to admit that much.
Conceivably stemming from the rocky experience of his own childhood, the Emperor cherished his son like a treasure, not wanting him to suffer the slightest bit of wrong. On top of that, the Crown Prince was not only his eldest wife-born son, but his only child. With increasing hopes placed onto him, the Prince received increasingly higher expectations, causing him to practically grow up beneath the attention of a crowd.
Due to the sparseness in royal descendants, the officials had been very anxious at the start, urging the Emperor to sprout more branches for the sake of the Great Ming's face. The Emperor generally wouldn't argue with his officials, yet he never gave in one cun over this matter. The Cabinet had no stance on it, either. Only a few censors shouted the most viciously about it, but over time, everyone quieted down, no longer held the expectation for the Emperor to have more sons, and focused their attention on raising up the Crown Prince.
However, this Prince's personality completely differed from his father and grandfather's. In other words, he matched more with the personality of a normal child's: lively, active, filled with curiosity about everything, and wanting to try it all.
To an ordinary family, that personality would be nothing of note, but the issue here was that he was the Crown Prince, the future's heir apparent. At the same time that he enjoyed the pinnacle of glory and wealth, he was placed under all sorts of restrictions. Ever since the Tumu Stronghold Crisis, all the officials had been mentally exhausted by Yingzong faffing about, hoping that all Emperors could be like the present Emperor: sitting quietly on the throne ever since they took it, doing what they ought to be doing, and not adding to their subjects' stress.
But this Crown Prince was destined to be an exception. With them being different people of different childhood experiences and different personalities, how could the requests used on the Emperor limit the Prince?
When things reached the peak, they could only go back downhill. If he was viciously forced, that would likely only make the Crown Prince grow rebellious and fight against his subjects in everything.
While all the Court officials were still immersed in the pretty dream of how the Crown Prince was to be educated, Tang Fan had already seen this tidbit.
Because he was the Head Vizier, he held the title of an East Palace Teacher, but in reality, he was confined by his work, which really didn't give him much time to tutor the Crown Prince.
For someone that loved to be active and found it very hard to calm down and learn from scriptures, making him sit there and recite the Four Books and Five Classics or teach him about sages of ancient times was clearly not going to work. Alas, the East Palace's education methods were in sets methods and norms. Although Confucius had said that lessons should conform to the student, if someone actually brought the Crown Prince out of the palace to play, they would probably get denounced and resign the very next day. Even if as the Head Vizier, Tang Fan would find blame hard to escape from.
One good Emperor was enough to influence the atmosphere of an era. Tang Fan knew that well, so, in spite of his busyness, he still found the time to do what he could to guide the Crown Prince.
In turn, the Prince seemed to find him to be a very different teacher from the rest. For that reason, every time he attended Tang Fan's lessons, ge could concentrate a little better than with others, and was willing to listen to him a bit more in earnest.
Later on, to his gradual surprise, the Crown Prince learned that Teacher Tang was very accepting of pretty much anything.
For example, after he had learned of the Emperor sneaking the Crown Prince out of the palace, he didn't painstakingly admonished them like the others, nor did he say anything about it. In fact, he had perhaps intentionally mentioned the locations of sideshows and slums in the capital.
The Prince had been confused, at the start, and later questioned his father about it. Only then did he learn of the particular difficulties Tang Fan had.
As the Head Vizier, he could not publicly agree to the Emperor and Crown Prince leaving the palace. That would be tantamount to him going against every civil official there was, as well as not conformity to a civil's style. In his head, however, he felt that the future Emperor shouldn't be stuck deep inside the palace. Only by seeing and experiencing more could his nature be further tempered. On account of his own difficult childhood, the current Emperor was not ignorant despite growing up deep in the palace, while the Crown Prince's life had gone smoothly since birth, had parents that were unusually affectionate with each other, and he was much less likely to experience any palace intrigue. Hence, he needed to be exposed to the outside world.
It would be bad for Tang Fan to say that, though, so he could only suggest things in a roundabout way. The Emperor, ever good at reading people, had thankfully heard the notes the Head Vizier was playing.
"Your Teacher Tang is different from typical people. He will never use the viewpoint of a pedant to demand anything of you," he said to the Prince with a smile. "Not only should you not be of the mind to defy him, but you should also learn a lot from him. When he was in his teens, he traveled all across the land, and has seen more bridges than grains of salt you've ever eaten."
The Crown Prince always loved to play. If he weren't the Crown Prince, he really would have loved to run around and have fun all across the realm. Thus, when he heard his dad say that, his eyes lit up. "Really? The Premier traveled the Great Ming?"
The Emperor nodded. "Of course. If you do well in your classes from now on, we will have the Premier tell you some good stories in the class's spare time. It'll surely broaden your horizons."
Having a son like this, the relationship between them was closer and more casual than general civilians' would be. The Crown Prince listened, then tried to haggle with his dad. "How about half a shichen of lessons gets me one shichen of stories?"
The Emperor was both annoyed and amused, giving him a bop on the head. "Half a shichen of lessons, half a shichen of stories. The Premier takes time out of his busy schedule to give you those lessons! Do you think that everyone is specially assigned to the East Palace to revolve around you every period of the day?"
The ten-year-old Prince pouted. "Father Emperor, you can appoint him to teach me, then have someone else run the government."
"That won't do. We may be valued as the highest power, but we can't just do anything we want," the Emperor answered casually.
The Crown Prince huffed. "I see. You're scared of him."
This little man knowing how to use instigating mental tactics made the Emperor unsure of how to react, but he didn't fall for it, nodding instead. "You're right, we do have a lot of respect for the Premier. If a person is virtuous and honorable, they are worthy of others' admiration. Recalling earlier days, we almost weren't able to keep our position of Crown Prince. Were it not for the protection and care of people like the Premier, we would have long been gone from this world, with your existence out of the question. That's why you need to remember that genuinely capable subjects must be treated with respect, and are never to be treated irreverently. These people are the support beams of our nation. The Great Ming's capability for stability relies not only on the Emperor, but also on such officials."
The boy nodded in half comprehension, a bit distressed at heart. They had clearly been talking about fun things, right? Why had Father Emperor suddenly taken a turn into serious things…?
The little Crown Prince was unusually inquisitive. Whenever he felt something to be novel, he would want to go take a look, and if he could try it out for himself, that was even better. Were anyone to tell him that it wasn't fun, not only would he not believe them, but he would want to go test it out even more.
For example, in the wintertime, he had insisted upon skating and jumping on a lake coated over with ice. His attendants had been terrified, each of them telling him that he would fall into the water and catch a cold, but that only made him want to do it more. In the end, he had stepped on a thin portion of ice that had then collapsed, bringing his lower half in with it. His pants, shoes, and socks had all been soaked, scaring everyone's souls out of their bodies. Fortunately, he had been found in time, and the tiny child hadn't completed dunked into the water. Had he caught a cold, whether or not he could recover at his age would be hard to say.
Following that incident, the Emperor had come to an understanding of how much trouble his son was.
He had a severe headache.
Reprimanding him would be useless. Putting the fact that he didn't like to have heavy words with his son aside, even if he did scold him harshly, the child was lively by nature — what came in his left ear would go out his right, never to be taken to heart. He was young at the present time, putting a limit on his misdeeds, but when he grew up, no one would be able to control him. Since he would go to play in water during the winter now, would he go into the sea to hunt dragons when he grew up?
Having the teachers educate him would be useless, too. He knew his son better than anyone else; even though the boy was quite bright, had a near-infallible memory, and could cleanly recite his teachers' lessons in benevolence, righteousness, and history… but if whether he took them seriously was to be discussed, there would be nothing to say.
In the young Prince's eyes, this world was filled with curios, with far too many things he could have fun with. Every spot of land was amusing, all the fauna was amusing, and the people were even more amusing.
Despite his extreme intelligence, he didn't work industriously, and yet his appraisal and thoughts on human nature caused the Emperor, as a father, endless surprise every time. However, as the Crown Prince saw it, playing around with human nature only had the word 'play' in it, involving no actual playtime.
With that personality, would he really be able to bear commanding the country in the future?
Thinking about how reliable his own father had been, then about how unreliable his son was being now, the beyond-reliable Emperor felt trepidation.
With no other choice, he had to ask the people at his side, intending to correct the Crown Prince's personality.
Huai En was long dead; with that personality of his, he could have followed the Prince every day to supplement his education, otherwise. That would have been more than trustworthy, purely because Huai En had not been as pedantic as officials, and after being in the palace for so many years, serving a Crown Prince would have been a cinch.
What a shame it was that the world had only had one Huai En, and Wang Zhi had already gone off to Ningbo, more or less disappeared into the ocean at this point. The rest of palace people were very loyal, but their wisdom was not exactly high, giving the Emperor misgivings about trusting them with this.
After pondering things, he could only find Tang Fan to ask for advice.
Tang Fan was quite busy. Liu Jian had since retired at this point, he had been promoted to Head Vizier, and now he was so awfully hard-pressed, he barely had the spare time to return home. He was an East Palace Teacher for the Crown Prince on top of that, too. It was for that reason that Sui Zhou had entered the palace several times to back him up in both the open and secret, his implication being to have the Emperor not give Tang Fan too heavy of a burden. The Emperor himself wasn't sure how to react to that.
If at all possible, he didn't want to trouble Tang Fan with things such as this, but the Emperor found that educating his son was even more trying than running a country. One person's plans would fall short, while a pair's would grow long; in the end, after all the twists and turns, he still had to discuss things with Tang Fan.
The latter was a bit vexed after hearing of all this.
The Crown Prince's personality was indeed worrying. If he was an ordinary person, his fun-loving nature would be just that, and even if he played himself to death, that would be his own business. He was the future ruler of the country, however — if he kept playing around, it would be the nation that was getting played to death.
Not only the nation, but playing with fate would be costly, too. The current Emperor had only one son right now, so if the Crown Prince didn't have time enough to leave a son behind in the future…
Stop. Stop it.
Those thoughts flashed through Tang Fan's mind, terrifying to think of. Even though the possibility was tiny, there was no guarantee that this wouldn't happen.
As a normal person, one could only pay attention to the present moment, but as the Great Ming's Head Vizier, Tang Fan had to plan for the future, for a hundred years from now. He had to do all he could to eradicate all unexpected circumstances.
However, leading the crown Prince down the proper path was indeed a very headache-inducing issue.
He shared a look with the Emperor. They unwittingly sighed in unison.
Pitiful were the hearts of this world's parents.
Blindly admonishing and obstructing him definitely wouldn't do anything. Many officials might do such things, perhaps, but Tang Fan knew well that that wouldn't work at all.
Who had never been young before? Everyone had experienced the Prince's same psychological process (though they might not have had his particular degree of activeness, of course).
At this age where one's personality had not yet completely settled, if one wanted to do something, there would be someone nearby nagging them about what they could and couldn't do. With the Crown Prince, not only would he not stop, but he would instead have the mentality of, 'You won't let me do it, so now I have o do it.'
Tang Fan thought carefully, then said, "Letting things flow is better than damming it up. Since His Highness has an innate love for play, forcibly suppressing it would only produce the opposite result. You may as well let him go and play until he's happy."
The Emperor blinked. "Your meaning is…?"
Thinking to himself that even kind Emperors had times of cunning, Tang Fan didn't answer that, simply smiling. "What idea Your Majesty has is what idea this subject has."
The Emperor coughed, forced to say, "Isn't Wang Zhi in Ningbo? We want to have him bring the Crown Prince around for a tour. Perhaps, after seeing it, the boy will curb back his nature."
The rest of his words went unsaid. Tang Fan appropriately understood.
"The Crown Prince going out of the palace is a major event, to say nothing of going out to sea. The officials will definitely oppose this to the end. Please think it through, Your Majesty."
The Emperor knew this, of course. When he had gone out of the palace for nothing more than praying, not even leaving the capital, all of society had opposed it.
Officials all wished that they could confine the Emperor into the palace, that it was best for him to never go a step out of it all of his life, yet they also demanded that he be adept in accepting advice, have respect for virutous folks, and be hardworking in governance.
That was much too difficult. The Emperor was a human, not a puppet.
An Emperor that had never seen the world before would either be meek and incompetent, or spectacularly rebellious, or negligent in governance. A fourth option would be difficult — how many lifetimes of incense had they needed to burn to get the current Emperor, who perfectly met all needs?
Were this another Emperor, he would never have allowed subjects to make arrangements like this. The present Crown Prince went without saying.
Due to his childhood experiences, the Emperor had never been hale. He was quite worried that he would abruptly leave this mortal coil, leaving the not-yet-settled Crown Prince behind, turning a good situation into a possible total mess. For that reason, he always held an intense sense of crisis.
If the other were anyone else, if they heard that the Emperor wanted to let the Crown Prince play outside of the palace, they would probably leap three chi into the air and tearfully object to it. Seeing that Tang Fan was not strongly dissenting to his idea, only pointing out the consequences of it, the Emperor calmed down somewhat.
"It is not that we aren't aware of what you speak of, Premier. With how unruly the Crown Prince is by nature, if it isn't muted, I fear that a huge disaster will come in the future."
"You speak the truth, but this should be considered at length. When the Prince leaves the palace, will the realm be informed?"
"Of course not," the Emperor said automatically.
"Will the Court officials be informed?"
"It would be best not to do that, else he will never be able to leave."
"In that case, he should go incognito."
"Right. We don't wish to make him reveal his identity; he should change his name to follow Wang Zhi out."
"Wang Zhi's loyalty is unquestionable, but his capabilities as one man are limited, and the dangers of the outside world are beyond prediction. Have you ever thought about the incidents the Crown Prince might be met with, Your Majesty?"
"We have. If possible, we would never want our beloved son to go far away. However, thinking far back to the old day, the Great Ancestor beat down a country with one fist, Yongle ousted the Tartars, and Jianwen grew up in the deep palace, isolated in his knowledge and strategy-less, where he ended up burned to death. That ancient saying, 'Be born in hard times, and you will die in peace,' was clearly born of wisdom. The Prince is our son, the heir apparent, and we dare not hope that he can compare to Yongle, but if he could at least not be like Jianwen, I would be fully satisfied."
Tang Fan was thrilled. The Prince was an only son; it was reasonable to say that the Emperor cherished him like a gem, yet he was willing to look off into the distance. Saying something like that displayed the structure of his mind. "You are wise, Your Majesty."
The Emperor sighed. "Still, he is young. If he is rashly allowed out, the Empress will not let it go, nor be reassured. In your opinion, Premier, should we send some bodyguards with him, just in case?"
Tang Fan nodded. "That goes without saying. His Highness is precious, so even if he needed to go out to temper himself, his safety needs to be assured."
"Apart from that, do you have any other suggestions?"
The Emperor's eyes shone. "Come, say them."
"You should have more heirs."
Seeing that he was speechless, Tang Fan held in his smile. "This subject will not mince words. If the Crown Prince has a little brother, he will understand the principle behind setting an example as an older brother. This would also ensure purity of the imperial lineage. It does more than one thing in one go, so to speak. This subject knows that you and the Empress share deep feelings, and I have no desire to be an unromantic villain, but you are in the prime of your life. You will definitely be able to have children and grandchildren running about your knees in the future, so… please put more effort into it."
The Emperor's face went dark and twitchy. He glared at Tang Fan, speechless for a time.
The advantage to having a Head Vizier that way beyond conventional norms was that he wouldn't have to listen to purist words in his ears, and he could easily trust him when it came to major things. Like right now, for instance; likely no one in the entire Court would agree to let the Crown Prince go abroad, yet Tang Fan did, being someone the Emepror could consult with.
The disadvantage, though, was that the Head Vizier would occasionally say shocking statements right to his face, and he couldn't actually find fault in them.
'Put more effort into it'? Was this something that could be done with just effort?
Forget it, he could bear with a mix of good and bad. Who made him be the Emperor?
To be an Emperor, one needed to be able to stomach more than a Prime Minister could. If the Prime Minister could swallow down a boat, then the Emperor would at least have to have Mount Tai sitting steady in his gut.
Sui Zhou
The character Zhou州 came from Chuan川 — A place to live in the middle of water, known as an islet.洲
His courtesy name had come from the Late Emperor: Guangchuan, 'Many Rivers', the meaning of it being that all rivers merged back into the ocean. He had given him it in the hopes that he would have an open mind when he looked at the world.
Disregarding the Late Emperor's mediocre governance, he had been regarded as the paragon of a generation in terms of artistic attainments. Sui Zhou was not that great at that stuff, but he had still come to know of A Circle of Harmony, which the Late Emperor had painted himself.
In the opinions of many, the Late Emperor might not have accomplished anything. He had inherited a not-so-great structure from his father, and as time had gone on, he had grown impatient with the extra constraints placed on Emperors, thereafter slacking off.
And yet, Ironically, the only father-like care that Sui Zhou had ever experienced had come from the Late Emperor.
His bond with his parents had been shallow since childhood. He had two siblings; his older brother, Sui An, was his parents' favorite, and even though his little sister was a woman, as the youngest, she had received some extra attention. Sui Zhou alone, in the middle, was disposable — and because his mother had nearly died birthing him, she didn't have any particular fondness for him.
He didn't care much, though. He had been independent ever since he was little. Even if no one cared for him, he could live a good life by himself. Whether his parents cherished him or not would be flowers upon brocade.
At eight years old, when his older brother had been in the middle of being huffy about his parents giving Sui Zhou extra spending money, Sui Zhou had already left home to go study the arts at Wudang.
After Yongle's time, Wudang's popularity had boomed, its mountain thereby turning into a national martial arts site. Sui Zhou had studied under the sect for twelve full years, training in winter's coldest nine days of winter and three coldest periods of summer. That was the only way he had been able to get such high martial arts.
He had a collected nature and wasn't fond of talking, but he would fulfill what he did claim. The Late Emperor and then-Dowager Zhou had both been rather fond of him.
That was to say, apart from his own parents, there were no elders that disliked Sui Zhou.
The Late Emperor had treated him like his own nephew. Once he had seen that he wanted to join the army, he had given him a long talk, then finally set him up in the Brocade Guard, making it easy to look out for him nearby.
In contrast, his elder brother had been obsessed with earning scholarly honors. Seeing that he had become a Brocade Guard, he worried that Sui Zhou's status would ruin his own reputation and cause him setbacks in his career, to the point where he had urged Sui Zhou through his parents int he hopes that he would not gain the vicious title of a Brocade Guard.
Sui Zhou hadn't listened to him, of course. For some things, he wouldn't bicker about them because he didn't care. For things he genuinely cared about, he would never let them go.
Seeing that he refused to obey, his older brother had grown furious. The brothers had gone through a row — though it had mostly been Sui An shouting, and Sui Zhou occasionally answering with a sentence or two.
It wasn't that Sui Zhou was bad at fights. He would have only needed to draw out his sabre and put it to his brother's neck to assure that Sui An would never make another sound. If the brothers got to that step, however, there would be no meaning to it.
Later on, even their parents had noticed the commotion and rushed over to assuage them. Sui Zhou had heard them used the label of 'persuasion', but in reality, their words — inside and out — were saying that being a Brocade Guard was a bad job, and he should resign.
He hadn't refuted them to their faces. A few days later, he had simply said farewell to his parents, moved out of the Sui home, and gone to live by himself.
He had always been reserved, more do than talk. Others had only believed that he embraced the title of consort-kin and slandered him behind his back a lot, but they had never before though that he would quietly establish a few of his own achievements. Relying on his actual skills, he had quickly gained a steady foothold in the Brocade Guard. By the time those that held jealousy in their hearts and had been waiting viciously for a good show came back to their senses, they had found that he was already pressing down on top of their heads, and they had never realized it.
The Brocade Guard seemed impressive, yet in reality, it had to deal with all sorts of meaningless trash. As the Emperor's personal guards, it was naturally inseparable from trifles and dark secrets, and as long as a case was odd or dangerous, it would always be on it.
Sui Zhou had once devised a plan for himself. At around age twenty-seven, he would take a wife and have kids, and then at age thirty, he would assume the position of Commanding Envoy. The Envoy at the time had been Wan Tong — Consort Wan's little brother of full blood — but he would have to retire eventually. When that time came, in terms of seniority and skills, it ought to be his turn for the spot.
With all those calculations, he had overlooked just one mishap.
He hadn't known that he would come across Tang Fan.
When he had first seen the man, he felt that meeting him was definitely inferior to just hearing about him, and he didn't look like anything special: a civil official that couldn't bear any heavy lifting, relied solely on lip service, and was no different than any of those Court officials. Sui Zhou's expression towards him had inevitably not been any sort of good.
He hadn't expected that the other would be very disciplined, not batting an eye at having things repeatedly made difficult for him, still talking to him like an old friend when he met him. Regardless of whether he had genuinely not minded or had only pretended to be magnanimous, that display of what he could stomach had been enough to prove that he was an unusual person, and might be a figure capable of ascending to Vizier in the future.
"What's got you so distracted?"
A voice suddenly hit his ears, interrupting his recollections.
He turned his head to see that Tang Fan had returned from the palace at some unknown point in time, having switched into regular clothes. He still held a book in hand.
"It's a rest day, but His Majesty suddenly called you into the palace. What was it?" Sui Zhou asked.
"Nothing much. It was only something to do with the Crown Prince. Yesterday, he was up to his tricks again, and went into the Palace of Manifest Virtue to pretend to be a ghost and scare everyone. It was this event that casued His Majesty to make up his mind in secretly sending him off to Wang Zhi." Tang Fan shook his head, smiling painfully. "I thought I was pretty mischievous as a child, but I never reached the Prince's level. The new really does surpass the old."
The Palace of Manifest Virtue had been Consort Wan's quarters when she lived, and after her death, it had been sealed up for the time being, no one living in it. The Crown Prince running over there must have been because he had heard some rumors, so he had gotten the idea to go be a ghost. In the end, before he had had his fun, his father had instead bristled up.
Speaking up to there, Tang Fan curiously brought the previous topic back up. "Guangchuan, you rarely get distracted. What problem were you thinking of just now?"
The corner of Sui Zhou's mouth ticked up slightly. "It's nothing. I was just remembering the past, and the scene of when I first met you."
Tang Fan smiled at that, too. "Yes, I remember that. You were making things a lot harder for me at the time. If I had been someone with a little less self-control, I would have gotten angry and run off. Tell me, where else would you have ever gotten a partner as wise and courageous as me?"
Sui Zhou took his hand, and said in earnest, "In this life, even though I've missed many people and many things, I'm extremely blessed that I didn't end up missing you."
The translator says: And that's all she wrote… online. There's one more that was a Taiwan-released book exclusive that I have, but I'd like to catch up on proofreading/The Snake and the Crane updates and get started on my next project before tackling something in traditional Chinese. (It isn't hard, just time-consuming.)
I've been translating this thing for over a year, with some bumps in the middle, and to be completely honest, I don't know what to do with myself. Even though I have a plan for exactly what I'm going to do. What a weird feeling?? Hm. This was such a rollercoaster of a novel, that words fail me on what I should say at more-or-less goodbye. If I could think of them, they would be good things — if I disliked this novel in any capacity, I wouldn't have finished it.
I do want to reiterate that I was translating this without having read it before, much like I had with Lord Seventh and The Beauty's Blade. This did not result in any major translation hiccups, which speaks volumes for MXS's ability to write well in such a massive text.
As for my blind translation, there was one thing I regretted: titling the chapters. "Chichi, what's so bad about that?", you might ask. Well… they were all untitled to begin with. I modified the jjwxc chapter descriptors, which were typically just quotes from the chapter itself, to give them some differentiation, but in retrospect, I wish I hadn't. At about the 90 chapter mark, I considered going back and deleting the titles, but it was far too late at that point. If I had to go back in time, I would chose to not do that alone. Otherwise, no regrets!
While I digest the ending of this chapter in my life, I'm going to shamelessly plug my other incoming works. The Snake and the Crane that I mentioned earlier is an in-progress (as of this writing) wuxia mystery novel that I'm writing myself, if that interests you; it's also on this blog, available for free. A full Faraway Wanderers translation is also incoming, as has been the plan for months and months. Both works can be discussed on the Discord, linked and the very, very top of every post.
All in all, thanks for reading, sugarpies. See you next novel.

TALLAHASSEE, FL – A devastating new report from The Tampa Bay Times revealed that Adam Putnam's Department of Agriculture let a campaign donor off the hook after they sprayed pesticides on their workers.
• On the morning of Oct. 16, 2014, Maria Garcia was working in a celery field when she noticed a small yellow plane spraying pesticides in the next field over. A breeze blew toward her and 50 coworkers. She took in a strong odor. Her eyes itched and her head hurt. She vomited.
• Garcia and a dozen others were taken to the hospital with symptoms of pesticide exposure. Half remained sick for weeks, according to a Florida Department of Health investigation, according to records obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
• The plane was hired by Duda Fresh Farm Foods to spray pesticides on one of its radish fields. Just before the pilot took off, someone working for Duda moved the farm workers within dangerous proximity to the plane's path.
• The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services investigated. It concluded there were no violations by the farm. Instead, the agency fined the pilot $1,800.
• The Duda family and their business have become one of the largest donors to Putnam's campaign for governor, contributing $187,000 since the pesticide accident.
• The first $3,000 came on Oct. 17, 2014 — the day after the accident.
• Farm worker advocates said the Duda accident was one of the worst pesticide exposure cases in more than a decade. In its own investigation, the Florida Department of Health said it was possible more workers were harmed but they were afraid to step forward.
• Putnam's office declined to explain why the pilot was fined but not the company. His campaign wouldn't make Putnam available for an interview. Asked if the donations could undermine public confidence in the investigation, campaign spokeswoman Meredith Beatrice said, "Absolutely not."

Gretchen here, reporting on Fit Mom Journey's traffic and income during December 2017.
I wanted to start with a little story….
I've been thinking about restarting my StitchFix subscription to update my wardrobe a bit. In the process of getting my account reactivated, Google must have realized that I was looking for a closing subscription service.
Over the next couple of days, I started seeing advertisements for a couple of new subscription services: ThirdLove and Dia&Co.
ThirdLove is a bra subscription service that claims they're pieces not only fit better and are more comfortable, but they're cheaper than Victoria's Secret and hold up better too.
Dia&Co is a plus-size clothing subscription box, and even though I'm not usually in plus-sizes, I think my measurements technically put me there.
I didn't end up signing up for either service (except for Stitch Fix), but seeing advertisements for those clothing subscriptions startups got me to thinking.
Both of those startups have been in the news lately for raising millions of dollars in funding from investors in record time – especially considering they're in clothing, not tech.
Every day, we hear of startup after startup that is raising millions in funding and experiencing explosive growth.
And if I'm being honest?
I really love reading about them and watching them grow.
And I found myself getting just a little bit jealous. Weird, right? But that's because I'm an impatient person. I have to continually focus myself on putting in the work, and worrying about the results later. I have to remind myself not to focus on short-term growth, but rather success in the long run.
That's how growth has been here at Fit Mom Journey.
It's hasn't been fast – I've been blogging here for more than 2 years – and there was about 18 months there where all I did was lay foundation for the blog, that I'm just now seeing the results from.
For me, blogging has always been a long-term game.
A series of singles that add up to many home runs.
These reports are the place where I share things like this with you. I try to share what is working, what isn't, and what I'm in the process of trying.
And I really hope that it helps you in some way.
So just remember that you can go your own way when growing your blog, business, or non-profit. You can take it slow and steady and be just fine.
This is my 4th income report so far. You can check out all of my income reports right here.
What's new: A Very Keto Christmas, Launching 30-Day Program, new affiliates, reporting on old affiliates, and Ad Network frustrations.
It's also worth noting, that I record my income as money I've actually received within the month, not earned. So, while I may have earned way more money from all of these affiliates during the month of December, I won't actually receive that money until 30-90 days after it's been earned. It will show up on future income reports.
I've been testing MiloTree for 6 months across all of my websites to help increase my Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram followers.
Basically, MiloTree is a small, yet easy-to-see pop-up that will rotate between any two of your social profiles: Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram.
I don't want to scare you away by using the word "pop-up" because it's become another ugly thing about the internet – this one isn't ugly or obtrusive.
It doesn't take over the screen, has an easy-to-click close button, and sits at the bottom right hand. Even on mobile, it's discreet, yet visible.
MiloTree is incredibly easy to set up, and best of all it's free! I currently use the $9/month plan (although I've been using it long enough I'm grandfathered in at the $6/month price) but you can start for free and NEVER have to upgrade if you don't want.
You can just continue on growing your followers without paying a dime.
The paid version gives you more control as well as analytics, but if your blog is bootstrapped the free version will work just fine.
Create your account, pick your plan, then link to your social media accounts. It's very easy.
If your blog is on WordPress (like me) you'll download and install their plugin to make the pop-up start working for you. MiloTree has given very detailed instructions on how to download, install and get your pop-up working.
If you happen to be on another platform, the setup page has instructions for those as well.
I use MiloTree to grow my Pinterest and Instagram for Fit Mom Journey.
This is the graph of my follower growth since the beginning of August 2017 and I'm absolutely thrilled with the growth! They say once you hit a certain number of followers, growth starts to skyrocket, and you can definitely see that here.
My Pinterest followers have really been growing too!
How Does MiloTree Look on Mobile?
There has been a lot of concern lately that Google is penalizing websites' rankings based on their pop-ups.
It's true, Google started figuring in user experience to their search algorithm late in 2016.
With MiloTree, you can choose to turn off the pop-up on mobile, but I don't recommend that option due to the fact that at least 75% of all website traffic now is mobile.
Fortunately, MiloTree changed the way their pop-up looked, how it displayed, and how much of the screen it takes up to comply with Google's algorithm change so as long as you don't feel the pop-up is harming your user's experience, neither will Google.
If you are trying really hard to grow you Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest following – or any combination of those, MiloTree can help you out.
If you can catch the attention of people reading the content on your website, you can "get your foot in the door" of turning them into loyal social media followers.
Based on the traffic and income above, I'm sure you can tell that I'm thrilled with the month. Affiliate strategies that I've put in place are working.
So let's talk about affiliate strategies for a moment.
You MUST have a multi-pronged affiliate strategy.
With Perfect Keto, I did just that. I developed 9 articles related to Keto and Perfect Keto, then interlinked and promoted them all via social media and my email newsletter.
Keto 101: What is a Ketogenic Diet?
All told, over the course of a single month, these new articles (all less than 2 months old) produced almost $250 in affiliate revenue.
The revenue should only go up, given a couple more months.
I also replicated the same strategy with Ketologie starting back in October and have seen a consistent $50+ in revenue each month, and it's very consistently going up as time goes on.
The one thing I've done differently with Ketologie is that I've incorporated their bone broth into many of my soup recipes, which has help boost clicks, and will eventually boost conversions.
I plan on updating you consistently with how my affiliate strategies are panning out, so stay tuned for more!
I have so many things to talk about this month, because so much has been happening!!
I launched my (cook)ebook, A Very Keto Christmas right after Thanksgiving. This was a completely free download that I worked really hard putting together and it had a complete Christmas menu with recipes and macros in it!
It increased the cookbooks' visibility.
First, someone happens to see the link as they're looking at the website. They don't think too much about it because they're looking for something else in the menu.
But then, they're reading the article they were looking for – or something that caught their eye – and they see the WWSGD plugin or an in-article mention and they decide they need to check it out.
Or even if they don't check it out right then, they may see it later in their inbox if they subscribed.
Even better, they may see it in their Pinterest feed and decide to check it out.
They say that your audience has to see something an average of 7 times before they will take the plunge and buy it – and yes, this applies to "buying" a free download. There is still an element of commitment in entering your name and email into a form even for a free ebook.
This plugin is free, easy to use, and helps get whatever you want in front of your audience's eyes.
If you're looking for a way to get your products or newsletter in front of your audience more visibly, check out WWSGD here.
Have an article that your freebie relates to? Link to the freebie in-article a couple of times.
I did this with great results when I launched A Very Keto Christmas!
This applies to other things too – internal linking is a strategy you should be implmenting to link to products or other articles.
I set a goal of 30 internal links for medium-sized articles for myself and this strategy is working very well for me!
Of course, I didn't want to leave my exisitng subscribers out of the cookbook loop!
I made sure to email them a direct download link to the cookbook ad received lots of good feedback on it!
This is the most fascinating aspect of my marketing plan for A Very Keto Christmas. I actually tested 5 different ebook covers as pins to see which would do the best.
And, the winner had 356 repins in under 30 days!
The amazing thing about Pinterest and this strategy is that these pins will continue to pick up traffic and repins all year long because pins never die!
All told, A Very Keto Christmas received 856 downloads – pretty good for a 30-day launch, I think!
I LAUNCHED MY 30-DAY KETO QUICKSTART!
I am so excited to share this news with you I can barely contain it!
I worked so hard putting together my keto program, Keto Quickstart, that all together was 111 pages.
55 of those were information about keto, getting started, quick tips, and more.
The rest consisted of Weekly Meal Plans (for 30 days), Weekly Shopping Lists, and recipes!
This was truly a labor of love, and even though it's only been live for 2 weeks, it's already been downloaded more than 1,000 times.
One thing I didn't anticipate, was how much work it was creating a landing page for Keto Quickstart. It's a LOT of work!
If you're interested, you can download Keto Quickstart here – it's free!
I do have future plans for Keto Quickstart.
This is Version 1, which means there are definitely typos – although I tried to catch them all – and It's pretty plain – although the plan nand information are stellar.
I hope to relaunch it in the future, as a paid guide, with beautiful graphic and formatting.
Like any project, this will take time and probably some money, so I'll be sure to update you as I develop this whole project.
Back in October, I applied with Monumetric (formerly The Blogger Network).
My other website's ads are run by Monumetric and I love the fact that they completely manage them and I make 3x what I was making before without them. They are also more inclusive of smaller bloggers (you can apply with as few as 30,000 page views each month), making ad management more accessible for everyone.
However, it's now the middle of January, and I have yet to be approved, even though I have north of 500,000 page views in the last 30 days, and I work really hard to generate quality content.
I know that some things are out of their hands, but I could be making so much more money with ads right now and it's really bothering me. Free money is basically being left on the table.
So, I made a very hard decision to apply with MediaVine and AdThrive in addition to Monumetric. Both are similar to Monumetric, in that they manage your ads. You make more money and they take a cut.
So far, both have been far more responsive and we're whizzing through the approvals process.
Still, it's painful, and I feel a bit bad that I kind of abandoned Monumetric.
Because seriously, there's tons of money on the table that we're both missing out on….
Anyone experienced this/have any thoughts on it?
I am so lucky to have all of you reading this right now. No matter how much work I put into Fit Mom Journey, it absolutely would not matter if it wasn't for you!
I am so grateful that sometimes I just don't have the words.
I am in awe of how supportive this community is, and so humbled by the fact that I get to do this. It is truly a labor of love, and one that not many people get to do!
I'm so grateful for YOU!
This was so fascinating and inspiring! Thank you!

Smart City Building with Huawei
CommunicAsia2015 Summit speaker and exhibitor Huawei shares how innovation and technology are driving the Smart City reality
SINGAPORE, 19 May 2015 - What do you envision when you think of Smart Cities? While flying cars, holographic communication screens, or even teleportation seem far-fetched, the hyper-connectedness of today's world and the Internet of Things (IoT) is making Smart City living a reality. Huawei, leading ICT solutions provider, sees the following four areas of opportunities where technology and innovation play a key role in the building of smarter cities:
City planning and management with sustainability
With Asia Pacific accounting for nearly half of global greenhouse gas emissions[1], one of the key areas that the United Nations Environment Programme focuses on is the role of technology in adapting to climate change whilst tackling the issue. Environmental and economic reasons are key push factors pointing to why non-renewable fuel sources are becoming less viable as options for powering everyday lives - particularly in the area of transportation. Almost all the energy sourced to power our modes of transportation is non-renewable. Environmental and climate woes aside, security of energy supply is another area of concern as cities develop, driving the shift to smarter transportation alternatives.
As part of building a Smart City, Huawei sees Smart Transportation categorized into the following: Better utilization of existing infrastructure, vehicle reduction and changing the mix of vehicles. Huawei innovates solutions such as smart sensors that are capable of constantly measuring and optimizing vehicle resources to lower current vehicle carbon emissions leading to lower carbon emissions and extending vehicle lifespan and smart traffic diversion which reduce wear and tear of roads. Reducing the number of vehicles on our roads involves encouraging commuters onto smarter public transport. Finally, the introduction of electric cars and bio-fuel vehicles leverage sustainable energy resources, making active transport modes safer and more accessible.
"Huawei has globally committed to strengthening our energy management and smarter city initiatives. In the transportation sector, Huawei has worked closely with both public and private sector partners in developing innovative solutions that address environmental and climate change issues. Achieving sustainable change in this space isn't trivial but Huawei's diverse portfolio of technology and business solutions are well positioned to help realize greener, smarter transport options," said Barry Lerner PE, Regional Chief Information Officer, Huawei Solutions Marketing Southern Pacific Region.
Enabling communications for knowledge transfer and efficiency for businesses
Knowledge and skills transfer is a priority for most businesses, and often encouraged by governments around the world, including Singapore. Businesses need to be equipped with infrastructures and applications to support knowledge and information transfer - this is where technology and innovation play an important role in enabling education in particular. For students, whether the young or working professionals furthering their studies, hyper-connectedness driven by high mobile penetration has changed how education is being consumed. In the past, the majority of students would most likely enter University after High School and attend the campus in person. Now, many students are mature in age, others attend lectures remotely and still others access online content which the university has made available. Huawei sees digital technology as a key driver of change providing the education sector the competitive edge. To help create a more connected world, Huawei provides a range of solutions that speak to content access (with E-Course), to enabling students with physical and virtual classroom presences (with E-Class) and ease in management of resources and lecture materials (with E-Management).
"Asia is constantly growing, with increasingly diverse cultures, and Singapore is in a unique position to be the MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) provider of Asia. Huawei believes that Singapore can also utilize digital technology to bring education to Smart End Devices within a MOOC, taking advantage of new innovative IoT devices such as wearable devices, smart glasses, smart tablets, and more, to take knowledge consumption to the next level," added Lerner PE.
Smarter Home Living to enable consumers' digital life
Consumers' lives are becoming increasingly digitized bringing future families the opportunity to realizing the concept of automated smart homes that protects, educates, entertains while ensuring the use of utilities are environmentally friendly. As part of Huawei's work in building a better connected world, they have developed a range of products which seek to address key components of a holistic Smart Home and families' digital life that enables connectivity with high-speed fiber optic broadband to support HD TVs, and a tool to manage multiple devices with the Smart Home Controller.
"Huawei is at the forefront of the provision of innovative solutions which enable families to improve their digital life. As part of our work in building a better connected world we have developed a range of products which seek to address key components of an holistic Smart Home and family digital life," said Lerner PE.
"As part of enhancing each family's digital life, there is a move to automate the smart home and Huawei is heavily involved in this process as well. We understand that no one vendor has all the solutions so Huawei is taking an open and collaborative approach to enable an IOT ecosystem which will provide the greatest benefit for consumers of this technology," continued Lerner PE.
For more insights and demonstrations on how smart innovations and technology can build a Smart City, please meet Barry Lerner PE, Regional Chief Information Officer, Huawei Solutions Marketing Southern Pacific Region at CommunicAsia2015 this June.

Assemblyman Brian Maienschein of San Diego announces that he has switched from Republican to Democrat. Photo by Laurel Rosenhall for CALmatters.
It also bolsters Democratic dominance in the state Capitol to epic proportions, giving them more than 76 percent of the seats in the Assembly. That's far more than the two-thirds needed to pass tax increases and put constitutional amendments on the ballot, and means Democrats can theoretically pass supermajority bills even if they don't all agree.
The California Republican Party didn't spend any money to help Maienschein in his re-election campaign last year, which turned out to be extremely close as the Democratic wave washed across previously-GOP regions of the state. Democrats, meanwhile, poured almost $1.2 million into supporting his Democratic challenger, Sunday Gover, who nearly ousted Maienschein.
The assemblyman said the close election did not factor into his decision to switch parties, but it's hard to imagine he would ignore the signs that constituents in his northern San Diego district are trending blue. Democrat Hillary Clinton won the district in 2016, and Maienschein won re-election as a Republican in 2018 by just 607 votes. By 2020, he would have been on the ballot in a presidential election year, when turnout typically gives Democrats an edge.
"Trump is having a major effect in polarizing the public and… a big effect in turnout in bringing out voters who don't normally vote in a gubernatorial cycle," said Mark DiCamillo, a pollster whose research during last year's election showed that Californians' overwhelming dislike of Trump helped many Democrats to victory.
"It's a tough thing for Republicans in California, given the president's stances," he said.

Paul Little: Breaking the rules in Gloriavale
6 May, 2018 5:00am
Pope Francis celebrates a Palm Sunday Mass in St Peter's Square at the Vatican. But why are some in the Catholic community comparing him to the Antichrist? Photo / AP
Battles with cosmic consequences are all the rage, so it's no surprise that there's a heaven-shaking infinity war going on at Haupiri, where two Christian sects are duking it out over whose version of an imaginary friend is the more accurate.
A group called the Night Raiders has been sneaking into the Gloriavale Christian Community at night and leaving copies of a publication entitled The Gospel of Jesus Christ by Paul Washer, which presents a different interpretation of Christianity from that proposed by the leaders of Gloriavale.
Community member John Ready liked what he read.
There was "a god of love pursuing after me to save me from myself, not a god… threatening me" he said.
But Ready was found guilty of being in possession of religious contraband and kicked out under clause 16, Expulsion, sub-clauses 16.1.4, 16.1.9 & 16.1.10 of the Partnership Agreement.
Gloriavale seems like a terrible place and we might well sing hallelujah for everyone who gets out of there, but what is the point of changing one variety of superstition for another?
Washer's book is not exactly progressive or peppered with Pope Francis-scale heresies*.
His alternative religious message is still a religious message, but neither, come to that, is it terribly alternative.
In the seditious pamphlet, the words "man" or "men" occurs 15 times, the word "women" once. The word "judgment" makes 11 appearances.
John Ready and his lawyer, Grant Cameron, had other complaints.
"It seems that people there are not actually being paid in the conventional sense," said the lawyer.
Which is hardly surprising. If you've read your Gloriavale history you'll know that communal property was part of the plan from the get-go, as described in Acts 4: 34-35.
It reads: "Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."
Though their actions have only just been reported, the Night Raiders have been at it for years and claim some 75 converts on their crusade so far.
That's probably more than Gloriavale has made in the other direction.
Although I think it could be described as a sex cult that takes the fun out of sex, given the priority it places on forced hooking up and breeding within the community, it's possible that genetics will end the sect before moral outrage or legal actions do their slow work.
John Ready is clearly a happier and freer man today and that's a good thing. But now his lawyer is threatening various legal actions, including a claim that he was the victim of religious discrimination.
Does he not know that religious discrimination is the whole point of Gloriavale?
Ready knew what the rules were and he broke them. If there's one thing everyone at Gloriavale knows, it's the rules.
In my view someone who gets punished for breaking rules he knew well is not really in a position to complain when the rules are enforced.
That's a useful principle to keep in mind, whether you're an independent religious thinker in a strict community, a free-spirited non-seatbelt wearer, or a recreational drug user.
*A good point at which to note, for those interested in when the world is going to end, that there is a Catholic demographic which believes that Francis' beliefs are so unorthodox that he may well be the Antichrist whose coming just before the world ends was announced in the Book of Revelations.

The principle is a counter-photoshooting. Whenever you want to take a picture, you don't take it, but delete a photo in your mobile phone instead.
The Hong Kong tour is held in the Northeast part of New Territories. The government is planning a redevelopment of the farmland there, turning it into high-end and lucrative housing projects in the near future. This piece of greenery "will be disappeared" soon.
The Japan tour is held in the hot spring area in Fukushima. Though the radiation level is relatively lower due to mountains' protection, the tourism industry is drastically affected by the overwhelming impression of earthquakes and radiation leak.
This "Photography of Disappearance" Tour is an action to remind people of the loss of and changes to the land we experienced, in both Hong Kong and Japan. It is also a ritual to show your mourning, and to cherish the things in front of you now. And at the end of the tour, participants have to share about what photos they deleted.
There are two deeper meanings : The best way to make sense of the real world is from memories, not photos. Also, if you learn how to cherish, you will learn to cherish not just the northeast but other things in life.
Participating the violence by "deleting", learn how to cherish from memories.

Jeff Bridges is killing me in this role. I love it.

Daniel Zeichner: Our life sciences sector is a global success story - we cannot put that at risk
Daniel Zeichner MP
The success of our life sciences sector relies on our ability to attract and retain scientists from around the world. If we make this more difficult, and more costly, we are shooting ourselves in the foot, says Daniel Zeichner
Our life sciences sector is the global forefront of research, of science, of medicine – we cannot risk throwing this away, Daniel Zeichner writes
Whatever the merits of the ongoing discussions about our relationship with our European neighbours, the long-awaited immigration white paper was an opportunity for a serious discussion about an issue challenging governments across the world.
The home secretary said in his statement on the paper's publication that we want to "attract the brightest and best", continue "being an open and welcoming nation" and "welcome talented migrants from every corner of the globe". It's hard to disagree with any of that but, sadly, the paper's contents prove this to be simply rhetoric, completely at odds with the policy it contains – which is potentially damaging to the UK's life sciences sector.
Although the home secretary says that "there will be no cap on numbers", his policies are so crudely designed that it is easy to see that keeping numbers down is the driving force behind their development. He uses salary as a proxy for skills in the criteria for certain visas, assuming that any job that pays over £30,000 must be one requiring highly skilled personnel – and conversely that any under this threshold must not. What a slap in the face for the majority of MPs' staff!
But beyond the Westminster bubble, this rules out post-doctoral researchers, experienced laser scientists, geoscience database engineers and the countless other researchers and technicians who keep our science sector at the cutting edge.
This will affect our life sciences sector in particular, a shining beacon in the UK's economy. Across my region, there were reportedly 34,000 life science jobs in 2015, and likely more since the AstraZeneca move to Cambridge. According to PwC, in 2015 the UK life sciences sector contributed an estimated £30.4bn to the UK economy, and supported nearly half a million jobs across the country. With such a significant contribution to jobs and GDP, we cannot afford to ignore the interests of this sector – which is already threatened by Brexit.
In the life sciences sector, the fears of tariffs, regulatory diversion and missing out on our place in the European Medicines Agency already threaten pharmaceuticals, but the immigration white paper will have added 'access to skills' to that list.
The excellent Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge is globally competitive and is delivering part of the life sciences industrial strategy. Based on its current number of EU staff (around 19% of the workforce), the government's proposed changes could mean a 170% increase in the number of visa applications handled by the Sanger, with a respective increase in cost. The cost will be exacerbated further by the recent doubling in cost of the health surcharge.
This cost is huge to a well-respected and established research institute like the Sanger, but could be crippling to new start-ups and SMEs in the wider life sciences sector, which have flourished with access to EU talent. Many of the staff of these smaller pharmaceutical companies will be paid under the aforementioned £30,000 threshold, and those paid over will incur huge visa costs. This is not attracting the brightest and best – it's making it harder for companies to do business.
I recently met with HR managers on the prestigious Cambridge Science Park, who reiterated what I've heard for many years – that companies here compete for talent with places like Silicon Valley, Israel, Europe and increasingly China. Their success is based on being able to attract and retain scientists and experienced entrepreneurs from around the world. If we make this more difficult, and more costly, we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
I fear that the risks that we take by having a backwards-looking, numbers-only focus to immigration while the nature of our relationship with the EU changes could threaten our success. Our life sciences sector is the global forefront of research, of science, of medicine – we cannot risk throwing this away because of the prime minister's obsession with an impossible, restrictive immigration target.

New OneLA Regional Collaborative launches to change the face of local contracting
Innovative public-private partnership will help create opportunities and build wealth for small businesses and provide easier access to contract opportunities by combining the best of training, technology and one-on-one advising and matchmaking.
by L.A. Area Chamber
Los Angeles September 18, 2019 – A regional collaborative led by the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, the County of Los Angeles Department of Consumer and Business Affairs and Internal Services Department and developed in collaboration with founding corporate sponsor, Citi Community Development was launched today to provide easier contract opportunities for small businesses. Small business owners who have battled for years with a fragmented, antiquated and complex contract procurement system in the Los Angeles area can now count on the new public-private partnership to streamline and speed up the process and give them a fairer shot as they compete for work with agencies across the region.
The newly launched OneLA Regional Collaborative establishes a partnership between some of the largest agencies in the region seeking to connect diverse businesses to technical assistance, business resources, and public and private contracting opportunities. The partnership will accomplish this through intentional collaboration and coordination, technology solutions, and business support at the scale that Los Angeles deserves.
"We are thrilled to bring together this partnership to help our diverse local businesses better access the billions of dollars in opportunity throughout our county," said Maria Salinas, President & CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. "The OneLA Regional Collaborative will serve as a navigation system for small business and stimulate economic mobility as well as economic growth. It's a whole new and unprecedented way for the public sector to engage with businesses and the Chamber, as the primary voice for business, is excited to lead this effort."
The OneLA Regional Collaborative will vastly improve access to local contracts worth billions of dollars through user-friendly platforms and wrap-around support services. In place of the old system, where businesses were required to find and navigate each agency's portals and requirements, the new program will provide a one-stop shop that positions business at the center and removes many of the barriers that often stood in the way of the region's diverse panoply of smaller firms.
"I am proud to have co-authored the effort to spearhead this program that will connect qualified small businesses in LA County – over half of which are minority-owned – to a rich pipeline of contracting opportunities with local governments," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis. "Together with our regional partners, we are creating new and better pathways and lowering the barriers for our local diverse business owners to build wealth and scale their operations. The OneLA Regional Collaborative cuts through red tape, helps build these critical relationships, and will assist LA County in meeting our commitment to award $1 billion in contracts every year to certified small businesses."
Agency partners and supporters are participating in different ways but with one goal in sight, to establish a no wrong-door approach to procurement opportunities and business support by placing business at the center. The four key components to the new Collaborative program are:
Collaboration and Coordination: The Collaborative will establish a stronger regional collaboration between the private and public sector through the deliberate coordination of outreach and business support resources and the sharing of contract opportunities and best practices.
Matchmaking & Relationship Brokering: The Collaborative will create meaningful relationships and connections between agencies, prime contractors, business owners and technical assistance providers.
Training & Advising: The Collaborative will provide cohort-style training with the support of federal small business technical assistance programs and input from public agencies and community partners. The Collaborative will offer personalized one-on-one advisory services to small diverse enterprises through the collaboration of the Chamber of Commerce, public agencies, prime contractors, private sector and personal assistance programs.
Easy Certification & Contract Matching: The Collaborative is built on certification reciprocity and offers open access to the Avisare procurement platform – an innovative and easy-to-navigate cloud-based tool allowing small businesses to attain the necessary certifications and apply with the County and other government agencies. OneLA will allow local businesses to create self-service accounts, entering the information required by public entities only once. The program will streamline the sourcing and vetting process, make it easier to apply for certifications, advertise all contracting opportunities offered by

Baby Faces of Austerity: Stories from the Sequester
By Patricia A. Cole
Once upon a time, "sequester" was a word that rarely intruded upon those of us in Washington, DC, much less on the everyday lives of infants and toddlers, their families, and the service providers who help support their development.
Now the sequester is synonymous with loss and pain, deeply felt by those who experience it, but not so widespread as to be noticed by much of America. Today, a coalition of advocates for individuals and families who look to those domestic programs affected by the across-the-board cuts has compiled stories to put a human face on what to many is merely a budget-cutting exercise.
The report released today, Faces of Austerity: How Budget Cuts Have Made Us Sicker, Poorer, and Less Secure, first takes us through how these "Non-Defense Discretionary", or NDD, programs benefit people all around America, in all walks of life, each and every day. It shows that NDD means safe food, clean water, weather reports, education, public transit, public safety, and recreation (remember the outcry over closed national parks during the shutdown?) But for millions of individuals and families, NDD means shelter and other vital services as well.
NDD programs were already being targeted for cuts even before the sequester kicked in earlier this year. Between 2010 and 2011, they saw cuts averaging 7%. The Budget Control Act mandated levels of deficit reduction and provided a blunt-instrument approach to achieving them through across-the-board spending cuts if Congress failed to reach agreement. As we know, the "Super Committee" given this task ultimately threw up its hands, and sequestration went into effect for 2013.
Currently, the House and Senate are conferencing on a budget plan for 2014, with addressing the sequester issue at the top of the list of issues on which they are trying to hammer out an agreement by December 13. There are different levels of urgency. Some lawmakers want to relieve the defense sector from cuts. Others want to return to higher levels of domestic spending to restore the cuts already in effect. Still others are fine with the lower spending levels.
Today's report shows that these decisions will have profound implications for everyday Americans. "Cuts have consequences" for individuals, families, state governments, local businesses, and the economy as a whole. But what do they mean for babies and toddlers? From time to time, we have written about sequester impacts on various programs for very young children and their families. Today, we are pulling stories from this new report—a kind of "baby faces of austerity."
Head Start/Early Head Start: Southern Oregon Head Start (SOHS) has lost $375,382 per year with the sequester. This 5% cut from their $6.9 million federal grant would have been hard to handle, but because it occurred with almost half the program year gone, it was magnified to a 9% cut. The agency coped by laying off employees, reducing staff hours, and furloughing everyone. SOHS serves a relative handful of infants and toddlers—93% to 96 % of eligible infants in the counties the agency covers are without Early Head Start services. The waitlist is 261 kids and is expected to grow throughout the school year. (NOTE: An estimated 6,000 infants and toddlers lost access to Early Head Start because of the sequester.)
Early Intervention: The report's early intervention story is one of hope—the good that programs can do when they are able to reach children who need them. It tells of Ben, who was 18 months old when his parents noticed delays in his speech. Their doctor said that his delays were the result of living in a bilingual family. They didn't accept this and were later connected with Easter Seals Southeast Wisconsin's "Birth to Three" program—an early intervention program established by Part C. After six months in the program, Ben is making great progress. When he talks, he speaks in full sentences and is understood by others, and Ben's parents better understand his sensory issues and fine motor-skill needs.
Housing: Stable housing is one of the keys to positive early development, underscoring how development requires a broad range of supports that may not always be thought of as developmentally related. Around the country, public housing authorities have had to stop issuing or even recall vouchers, lay off staff, and raise rents to cope with cuts. The stories tell of parents reeling as they try to figure out how to cope.
Environment: Even environmental programs contribute to babies' development. The infant brain is extremely sensitive to environmental toxins, not only lead, but also mercury and manganese, which can disrupt healthy brain development. The sequester led to the elimination of a new Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research Center, which would have studied children's exposure in child care centers to air pollution, fire retardants, and other widely available products with toxic components over an extended period of time, and the impact on health.
Health: State newborn screening programs identify and follow-up on identified genetic or metabolic disorders for the four million infants born in the United States annually. Each year, this effort identifies more than 12,000 babies who test positive. Immediate treatment can help avoid serious and costly long-term health consequences such as intellectual disability, organ damage, and even death. Because of sequestration and other longer term budget cuts, it is estimated that nearly 1.8 million babies born this year will not be tested. The principal federal funders of newborn screening—Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)— have seen core budget cuts of 19 percent and 27 percent, respectively, since 2010.
The Faces of Austerity reminds us of what is at stake for children, for the most vulnerable among us, and for us all. Speculation around the budget talks here in Washington has moved from a grand bargain, to a little bargain, to a shrug of acquiescence to the status quo—which in this case means more cuts. We have to care that our neighbors have shelter and food, that our roads and bridges are sound, that our children can breathe the air safely, even that we know to throw a jacket on them as they are running out the door to child care or school. And we have to care that we must invest in our future so that all our children have the opportunity to reach their potential.
Tomorrow the tension between austerity and hope will be apparent on Capitol Hill, as the budget conferees meet even as a bipartisan early learning bill is introduced. Watch for our alert to learn how you can Be a Big Voice for Little Kids™ and help resolve this tension so that cuts are healed and children have brighter futures.
