Everyone has heard about Sweden from childhood, as it was Stockholm where the well-known fairytale heroes The Kid and Carlson lived. Let's add here favorite of all IKEA, the band ABBA, cars of Volvo and Scania, companies like Spotify, Ericsson, H&M, Electrolux and μTorrent – the vision of the nation is made up of pieces.
As habitants of Sweden affirm, the better place for doing business is hard to find. This relates both to residents and citizens of other countries, who have the opportunity to buy, sell and invest projects on equal rights with the Swedes.
Dynamic economy
Nowadays, Sweden has a successful, diversify and exceptionally competitive economy. The open and liberal approach to international trade is defining lines of the national economy. For the prosperity of a small country with a huge economy, an emphasis on export is essentially important. Sweden enterprises sell abroad the widest assortment of goods. The country keeps a positive trade surplus from year to year.
Together with the prosperity of traditional branches, Sweden made a jump-start growth in the modern economy sectors over the past decades – digital technologies and telecommunications. The most stunning examples of success are the IP telephony developer Skype and musical streaming service Spotify.
The Swedes do not stop on achieved. For a decade, the share of informational technologies went up to 16% and already 5% of the working-age population is employed in the IT industry. Its distinctive feature in Sweden is a huge amount of young entrepreneurs in a small business. No wonder that Stockholm was recognized as one of the best European cities to launch startups in the sphere of digital technologies.
Startups can get grants, participate in different business incubators, financed by the government. For young entrepreneurs, there is a system of social protection, a so-called safety cushion, which can insure them while they start a business.
The capital is the main but not the only economical center. The prosperity level in Sweden is divided into its regions much more equal than anywhere in Europe. It is representational that this is the only country of the Old World, where in every even the least rich corner, the GDP share per capita is higher than on the average in Europe. The powerful economy and the high level of living are about modern Sweden in general.
Swedish prosperity is based on lessons which the country learned after the turmoil of the 1990s. Heavy reforms were justified, the same as the need for reliability of the treasury – now this is the admitted fact for Swedes, which are guided during the discussion of new laws. Sweden combines a well-considered financial policy with openness to foreign markets, development of competition and innovations, and decisive prevention of any kind of corruption. All these are components of Swedish success.
Stockholm is the European ecological capital
In 2010, thanks to efforts in living standards improvements, the European Commission called Stockholm the first European Green Capital. Work in this direction involves water reclamation, noise abatement, integrated waste management, the imposition of road traffic tax and recreation area widening. Thus, since 2016, the municipality of Stockholm has turned habitants and guests of the city to use public transport, starting to charge for entry and exit the city.
To understand how everything works as a whole, it is worth a visit Hammarby Sjöstad. The part where the industrial zone was located in the early 1990s is now the most prestigious and expensive part of the Swedish capital.
All waste in the country are standardized minimum in four independent systems and are recycled, accordingly, on heating, biogas, water for building heating systems and artificial reservoirs, which, in turn, produce electricity.
In Sweden, business is conservative about expenses
Although cultural assumptions and active participation of the Swedish government help startups grow up in full companies, conservative fiscal policy and discipline help them survive in the market. They save where they can: no luxury business class flights even for top management – this is not accepted in Sweden.
International relations between Ukraine and Sweden
In the world community, Sweden is known for stability in its neutrality and not joining to any military blocs. That is why many Swedish statesmen have authority with the international stage, often acting as mediators in the arrangement of different conflicts.
In terms of Swedish aid, Ukraine is an absolute leader not only among the countries of the Eastern Partnership, but also in comparison with the countries of Western Balkans and Turkey. Sweden continues to help Ukraine despite political changes and reforms backwards. Today, Sweden expects to see more significant results of its support in the fight against corruption, reforming the state machine and economy, as well as in the development of democratic institutions.
There are no contradictions concerning support of Ukraine among the main Swedish political forces. One of the reasons for such unanimity is that all parties, including populist, appeal to values such as human rights.

After lying low for months, NSCDC's Shem Obafaiye has finally granted his first interview.
He has finally disclosed how he felt - the shame, the joy and the fame that came with his much publicized interview with Channels TV.
little mistake cost him a lot though.
I have nothing much to say other than to bless God for everything. I thank God for all that happened; I thank God for my boss, his support and love. He is a good boss and I appreciate him. As far as I am concerned all things work well for those who love God and in all things, the Bible says we should praise God.
The people that thought they were going to ruin me did not know that they would end up in announcing my destiny. In the history of humanity, there had never been any human being that had instant fame like I did especially in a case that was meant to end negatively.
My brother-in-law in London is even so excited about the incident that he promised to assist me make big money out of this supposed mess. He had already handed the matter to an agency over there to trade mark "Oga at the Top." But I just asked him to forget it.
Many of my class mates are in top positions in Nigeria currently, yet, they said I did not go to school. I can mention a lot of them here, including the Attorney General in Lagos State, Ipaye, but why should I do all that. All the same, I give all the praises to God. It was not the first interview I would be having with them (Channels Tv). After that interview we shook hands and I even gave them my complimentary card. I could see that they were not really cheerful. If there was any effect, it was on them and not me. It was the same day I met with Governor Fashola of Lagos State.
Theirs took place in the morning and I met Governor Fashola later in the day. Some people believed they were up to something, but I did not know. I was only being careful with words as a security officer. We apply caution in all that we say and do. It was a live programme, the whole world was watching us, so, I did not want to be too free.
But like I said, I thank God for everything. I blame nobody for anything; I see everything as an act of God. They believe they would use it to destroy my destiny but God turned everything around for me, for the better.
How did your family take the development?
The day of the interview, 16th of March, 2013, was the day my father was buried. It was as if it was designed to destabilize me on the day of the burial of my father, but it was not so. It was three or four days after that they apologized and said it was not meant to embarrass me.
Channels felt bad because it backfired. Anybody that wants to go for an interview in Channels will be very skeptical now and henceforth. I just felt it was my time for divine announcement, so I did not take it the way they thought I would take it.
In fact, when I saw the T-shirt, I wanted to buy one. Some had thought that my transfer to Ibadan was a demotion, but they are wrong. It is not. They also claimed that my wife went to Channels over the issue. The question I asked was, to do what? She did not. The whole thing has only turned around to be God's glory in my life.
What is your philosophy of life and how did it apply in the case of "My Oga At The Top" case?
My philosophy of life is to impact positively on this generation. I want to leave a legacy, a good and worthwhile legacy behind that will not make my family live or walk in fear when I am gone. I want to sustain my good name; and that is what I preach to my staff every day.
I tell them to be open-minded; be determined; do what you will do with your best ability whether people are there or not. Note that there are people watching you and your work will speak for you when you are not there. This is what I always tell them.
What is the lesson to be learnt in your "Oga At The Top" issue?


Dating the Lorane Orchards packing house construction: Harvey Currin (married to W.W. Jackson's eldest daughter) hired my father to build the packing house on the upper side of the territorial road. As a young man of perhaps 5 or so, I "helped" put the tar paper roof on it. So, it was in the early 1920's and perhaps five years after the Currins had moved from south of Drain (from a large apple orchard) to the Lorane Orchard. So, this construction must have been done in the first half of the 1920's. My feeling is that it was after all Doty's had moved away for the Lorane Valley.
Is Stony Point essentially at the north end of the Siuslaw Valley as determined by Farman and Hawley Creeks? That is, north of the old William Hawley ranch and a mile or so north of the old Scott Jackson place? If so, then the north side of Stony Point slopes steeply down to the headwaters or a branch of Coyote Creek? Up this latter was the first Scott Jackson ranch, perhaps a homestead. It appears a road now runs through it to Creswell. I hauled gravel from Eugene and graveled that road up as far as the site of a sawmill on the Jackson place…and worked in that sawmill…but that is another story for sure. Over the ridge, to the south and, thus, sloping into Lorane Valley was a large farm owned by a Charles Emery. I worked there, too.
I'm confused about "Stony Point" for getting up out of the Long Tom (Coyote Creek) drainage in going to Eugene, some miles further north was a long climb up around a "Stony Point". This was, upon leaving the Lorane Valley, on the right fork of the road, the left fork of which led to Crow and so on. From this Stony Point, one looked down from the cliff side road onto a fair-sized valley, probably Fox Hollow. From here on into Eugene, roads seem to have changed greatly: they don't match with my next northern quadrangle or, for that matter, my memory, either.
George Buddington was a real friend to us kids. In addition to reciting or reading us poetry, he made very long shavings in his carpentry shop out back and adorned our ears with them as "long curly hair". Many, many of the names of people in your delightful book are well known to me, but who they were or what they were, I no longer know. Through high school, we lived on a ranch out Eugene's West 11th Street; father, H.M. Doty, became deathly ill, so I went into the Civilian Conservation Corps for a year during which he died. After that year, I went to the University of Oregon. The ranch was sold. Mother moved to town.
(Regarding frontispieces (photos) across from Introductory page in Sawdust & Cider..)…Who now lives in the big white house on the right in the middle photo?…or at that place? It also shows in the top photo. I think I remember remnants of the grandstand showing in the bottom photo. This would have been in the 1920's, some years later after the Siuslaw Road was put in.
This lowest photo of the Frontispiece must have been taken before the Siuslaw Road was begun. In doing so, they apparently got rock from a little point of high land that protruded toward the camera from a cut made for the road. I remember climbing the remaining rocks, and looking up to see what Phyllis Addison and, perhaps Virginia, were doing, I fell off backwards, lit on my head, and was stunned, out cold, for a while.
Do you know when the Siuslaw Road was begun? It was years before the water grade road beginning from opposite the Territorial Road ran in a broad curve generally bordering the creek (or Siuslaw River) to the Cottage Grove Road, across it and a mile northward to where it rejoined Territorial Road.
Do you have any record of who lived in the house on the southwest corner of the junction of the Siuslaw Road and the Territorial Road? I'm interested in the period of ca 1907 to 1922. Any information on where H.M. Doty lived during 1908 through ca 1921 (when he and family moved to Eugene) would be appreciated. Or, for that matter, what he or my mother did those years, etc.
My last visit there, on a drive through in ca 1987, revealed two blackberry patches just on the Cottage Grove side of the little bridge at the bottom of Lorane hill on the Cottage Grove Road. They were favorite haunts of we kids who used to pick blackberries in them 60 to 70 years ago.
Thanks to Viki Meyer and a sizeable group of supporters, Lorane once again has its own community library. When Viki moved to Lorane in 1990, she had a desire to make a contribution to her new home. The method of doing so was presented to her when she decided to obtain a library card from the Eugene City Library. When she discovered that it would cost her $60 annually, she became determined to see if she could round up support for an on-site and affordable library for the people of Lorane.
In researching the idea, Viki discovered that there were small collections of books in the Grange, Rebekah's, and at the Lorane Famly Store that were seldom being used. She spread the word around the community about her interest, and found that many others were willing to support her idea to establish an actual library. When he heard of it, Jim Kelly, who, at the time, owned the Lorane General Store, offered the use of the garage adjacent to his store as a site for the library. Donna and Bernie Moulton built the shelves, and those attending a community party painted the building. Once the physical preparations were finished, a call for books was made via word-of-mouth, newspaper, and television coverage. Books began coming in from all parts of the country. Well over 6,000 books have been collected so far, with over 2,000 in storage at Mel Keep's until a larger place can be found for them. Bob and Fran Balmer, the present owners of the Lorane General Store have continued to allow them use of the building.
The Friends of the Library who have contributed their time and energies on a regular basis include Alix Mosieur, Barbara Dare, Peter Crawford, and Curt Mitchell. Those who have agreed to be on call are Barbara Robertson, Connie Clark, Sandy Maxwell, Norman Hammar, Richard Miller, and Pete Gass. Approximately 200 families have registered, so far.
Something that I have discovered since beginning The Lorane Historian, is that people are reluctant to tell me anything that might seem like "bragging." One of the goals of this newsletter is to stress the positive in the community. I want to provide a forum for expressing the pride we have in ourselves and our families. If the historians, 100 years from now, want to "dig up the dirt" that is tucked in the corners of our lives, then that is their right. But in this day and age of so much negativism, I want to point out that there is something special about each of us, and we need to acknowledge it, not only to ourselves, but to each other as well. If you're proud of your family, an accomplishment, a talent, anything in which you genuinely take pride, whether it be that your children have done something special, or you can grow white cauliflower, or your chocolate chip cookies won a prize at the county fair, or you have withstood hardship and triumphed, etc.– then, I want to write about it.
Sure, our community has its share of the problems of the world, but I sincerely believe that even the most negative among us has positive qualities, as well, and I don't want anyone to feel that they should withhold something because it might be considered "bragging." Let's express our honest pride — I don't mean the false boastful kind that comes from personal insecurities, but the kind that can only build self-esteem and respect. There should be no shame in that.
Mike and Linda (Bartgis) Jenks were both born in California…he in Long Beach and she in Los Angeles. They were married in 1962 in Downey, California. Mike had just been discharged from the U.S. Navy when he was offered training and a job with IBM. They lived in California for the first seven years of their marriage while being transferred for several months at a time to a variety of locations during Mike's training period. He attended IBM schooling in San Jose, California, Rochester, Minnesota, and Poughkeepsie and Kingston, New York while they lived in Saugerties and Wappingers Falls, New York, respectively.
During that time, two children were born to them. Colleen, age 30, was born in Downey. She is now in her 9th year of teaching high school English after graduating from Oregon State University. She is currently at Wahtonka High School in The Dalles.
Mark, age 27, was born in Kingston, New York. He is presently a Captain in the U.S. Air Force stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. He also graduated from Oregon State University where he had an ROTC scholarship.
They eventually moved from California to Longmont, Colorado where Mike was transferred. They lived there for a year. According to Linda, "we were in Colorado when IBM was ready to send us back to the Los Angeles area. We had always wanted to live in a small rural community." Mike and Mark travelled to Oregon to check out a position that was open with IBM in Salem. What they saw, they liked. When Mike applied for a transfer to Oregon, he was awarded a position in Eugene where he worked until his retirement in 1991.
After they settled in Lorane, another child arrived. Ewing was born in the Cottage Grove Hospital almost 22 years ago. He is presently attending his 4th year of college classes at Oregon State University. (The Jenks raised a family of Beavers!) All three of their children graduated from Crow High School where Colleen was valedictorian and Mark the salutatorian of their classes.
Mike is now retired from IBM and is a full-time farmer. (Neither he or Linda believe that "retired" is an appropriate word to describe him.) He had a variety of jobs before his stint in the Navy including newspaper boy and working in the oil fields. He's presently a volunteer fireman and enjoys such hobbies as metal working, computers (naturally), photography, electronics, woodworking, and farming.
Linda has been a homemaker since Colleen was born. Before that, she was a registered nurse. Linda loves teaching "Bible Club" Release-Time to Grades K-3, and has been teaching it for over 15 years. She says, "It isn't long compared to the many years that Lorena Mitchell, who teaches the upper grades, has been teaching!" Another thing that Linda loves is doing all kinds of handwork. Her specialty is tatting and she has adorned some beautiful pieces with it. Linda also headed the Lorane Centennial quilt project, and it was mainly through her efforts and supervision that the community quilt became a reality. She also loves to garden and has a large vegetable and flower garden to tend.
Both Mike and Linda are long-time members of the Lorane Grange. In the past, they have been actively involved in Lorane P.T.C., Lorane 4-H, Crow High School Booster Club, and the Lorane Centennial Committee, as well.
Linda said, "As you can see by where we have lived, we have traveled across the U.S.A. a few times! The most fun that we have had was on vacation one summer in a houseboat with my parents on the Sacramento River. Michael was always doing things to keep it lively–like throwing mops overboard and almost getting us run down by a freighter." Their last family vacation consisted of camping out in tents for 3 weeks while visiting friends on a dairy farm in Wisconsin.
The Jenks are the type of family that represent the backbone of the Lorane community. Whenever there is an activity that requires community participation, they are always there. Whenever there is a community need, they are willing to contribute. They are always busy, but never too busy to give of themselves. It's that willingness on the part of families like the Jenks that make Lorane the special place that it is.
Editor's note: The following excerpts are from a letter from Frances R. Anderson that was written to Nancy, Marna, and I in 1987, following the publication of Sawdust & Cider. The portions in italics are my responses to her concerns.
I've recently finished reading the "labor of love" you, Marna Hing, and Nancy O'Hearn have so ably provided the rest of us. All of you are to be congratulated for your fine work which surely will be considered a valuable addition to anyone's collection of local history. And, again, thank you for undertaking the task.
(1) In the discussion of the Addison family (page 28), you speak of the marriage of Blaine C. Addison and Maud Jackson and throughout the remainder of the book Aunt Maud is referred to as "Maud G. (Mrs. Blaine Addison)" (page 33) or as Maud Jackson Addison–all of which may leave your more genealogically-minded readers with a false impression. Following a divorce from Blaine, Aunt Maud married John (Jack) Crawford in 1930, moved to California, and died there in the 1940's.
(A member of Maud and Blaine's immediate family provided the information which was used. She read the copy which appeared in the book before it went to the publisher and apparently did not feel that it was necessary to discuss the divorce. (You will note that I did mention in the book that Blaine lived by himself for the last several years that he was in Lorane).
(2) On Page 33, you refer to the four Jackson (W.W. and Della) children, including Helen who is further identified as Mrs. Herbert M. Doty. Aunt Helen married Mr. Doty around 1910 and later they adopted a son, Max. In the Doty family biographical account (page 30) there is no reference to Aunt Helen or Max, and I believe there should be.
Just before the book was ready to go to press, I reviewed it to see if I had left any big gaps. One which I found was the absence of much information on the Doty family except for brief references to their lumber mill in the Lane County Directory; the house fire which destroyed not only their home, but the Grange records, as well; and records that they owned part of the Lucas Donation Land Claim according to Bob and Marna Hing's property abstract. I felt that there should be more than that on the family as they appeared to have been a fairly prominent family in the area for some time. We were never contacted by any Doty family members, nor did we know of anyone to contact for an actual history of the family. For two years, we distributed questionnaires to anyone who would take them, to be filled out and returned to us so that we would be able to have factual information on each of the families. Because of the vast number of families who lived in the Lorane area over a 150-year period, there was no way that we could try to trace descendants of each one, and so we were relying on them to contact us, or by following leads given to us by others. No one ever emerged as a Doty family informant, so I had to go with what we had.
(3) In speaking of the King family (page 52), you write of two teachers, Kay West and Mae Masterson, who in 1936 are reported to have lived with the Currin Family. These women may well have lived on Lorane Orchard Road, but the likelihood of their having lived with the Currins is remote. Ruth Currin Spaniol has no knowledge of her parents ever taking in boarders and tells me that H.W. and Laura Jackson Currin were no longer living in the area in 1936, having left in 1934 or 1935 at the latest.
(4) Your reference to the introduction of Scotch Broom to the Lorane area by the Currin family (page 151) seems unnecessarily argumentative. We do not know your source for this information (you've chosen to use that uncertain phrase "It is believed…"), but we do know you did not talk to the only people (H.W. and Laura Jackson Currin) who might have been able to confirm or deny your suggestion. Both have been dead for over 20 years. Surely you did not intend to end an otherwise credible chapter with a 60-year old rumor. Your book, your readers, and the Currin family deserve better. In any case, as most of us know, Scotch Broom has long been common throughout Western Oregon and only blind chance can account for it's possible absence in the Lorane area prior to the 1920's. It was really only a matter of time before the shrub made it's appearance in your community and no human assistance would have been necessary.
If I had known that this would have caused embarrassment to the family, I wouldn't have included it. The formula I used when I wasn't sure if I would use an item or not was…"would I want it to be written about my family". After spending many years in researching my own family history, I have always been excited about finding a bit of information about my family which made it stand out a little from all of the others whose members seemingly were always farmers who owned so many acres of land in Illinois or Kentucky, had large families and went to the Methodist Church. In this case, bringing in the Scotch Broom, I felt, was a very reasonable thing to do if one didn't know what a culprit it would eventually become. It's a beautiful shrub when it's in bloom. If your family was, indeed, the one that brought it to the Lorane Valley for the first time, there should be no shame attached to it. They didn't try to do anything other than beautify their yard. To me, it was a humorous account. There was no shame or illegality involved…We were told about it by someone who lived all of his life in the area and is past retirement age now. His father reportedly told him that the Currin family introduced it to the area. We have heard the same from others, so I felt safe in saying "it is believed…". We should have checked on this with a member of your family to see if there was some sensitivity pertaining to it. I am sorry that we did not, and if there is a Part II to Sawdust & Cider, I'll try to rectify it.
Aside from the aforementioned points, the over-all quality of Sawdust and Cider is excellent, and I wish you equal success with future publications.
Thank you, Mrs. Anderson ,for caring enough to write. Your comments have been taken in the light that they were intended.
Are you toying with the idea of selling a piece of property that you no longer want to pay taxes on? Or, is your home no longer big enough to contain your growing family? Maybe the house is now much too large for a family whose young ones have declared their independence and have left to build their own lives? On the other hand, maybe you want to finally find that very special home of your own so that you can begin paying taxes instead of rent? If so, Lorane is fortunate to have two qualified and dedicated residential realtors among its residents.
Linda Schafer, a relatively new member to the Lorane community, would like to help you in your real estate goals. Linda, who bought Jim and Pauline Sudut's mobile home and 15-acres at the top of Stony Point in July of 1992, is a licensed realtor who specializes in rural properties and wishes to work for her neighbors in the Lorane area.
Linda lived in Cottage Grove all of her life before moving to Lorane, and it has always been a special dream of hers to move to the Lorane area where she could ride and raise her horses. She has always lived on a ranch and is a member of the Quarter Horse Association, the Paint Horse Association, the Shorthorn Breeders Association, and now, the Lorane Grange. Besides her love for horses, Linda's other interests include sports, snow skiing, and plays. She also likes to knit, sew, and work in her garden. Before becoming a realtor, Linda worked in the medical profession.
She has two adult sons, Jeff Elliott, age 26, who lives in Seattle, and Chris, age 25, who is married and lives in Eugene. Both graduated from Cottage Grove High School and the University of Oregon.
Being a "country girl" at he art and having lived in the country most of her life, it only seemed natural to Sharon Malcolm that when she entered the real estate profession, she specialize in what she knew and loved.
Sharon, her husband, Bruce, and their children, James Everett and Ashley Louise, live at 79555 Fire Road, where Bruce's family has lived for over 43 years (see "Schuger family in Sawdust & Cider). Their neighbors on Fire Road include Jim and Judie Brantley, Corky White, Ron and Marla Norton, Clint and Sandy Rhodes, and Mike and Nancy Dresser.
Sharon has been involved in various community activities, most centering around her family's interests, including Lorane P.T.A. and the Crow Booster Club.
The Malcolms enjoy camping, swimming, and traveling. They love Lorane and its feeling of community. When asked what she thought would make it a better place to live, Sharon said, "straighten out a couple of curves", and her advice to the teenagers in the area includes "drive carefully, enjoy life, and get a good education." That's good advice for all of us.

The California-Wide Web? Why Sacramento Can't Go Its Own Way on Net Neutrality
COMMENTARY Technology
Oct 16th, 2018 7 min read
James L. Gattuso @Jamesgattuso
Senior Research Fellow in Regulatory Policy
James Gattuso handles regulatory and telecommunications issues for The Heritage Foundation.
The Justice Department has a strong case. slobo/Getty Images
Last month, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law perhaps the costliest regulations of all; namely, network neutrality rules on California broadband providers.
Power to regulate in interstate commerce is expressly granted to the federal government by the Constitution.
Even supporters of California's new law are split, with some openly expressing doubt as to its legality.
California is quickly becoming the regulation capital of the world.
At a time when Washington is trying to rein in its quarter-million regulators, Sacramento is busy imposing new restrictions and mandates faster than ever.
Any celebrations were muted however, when the federal Department of Justice immediately challenged the law, claiming that it conflicts with federal policy favoring minimal regulation of broadband communications. Web surfers both in and out of California should be hoping the lawsuit is successful, preserving both the Web and constitutional principles of federalism.
The Justice Department has a strong case.
Web surfers both in and out of California should be hoping the lawsuit is successful, preserving both the web and constitutional principles of federalism.
While new to Sacramento, the debate over network neutrality has had a long history in Washington. The issue is deceptively straightforward: Should firms carrying internet traffic from content providers to consumers be required to do so at the same rate and manner for all users?
For almost two decades—extending over four presidential administrations and six Federal Communications Commission chairmanships—supporters and opponents of regulation fought a seesaw battle at the FCC over this question.
In 2015, many thought the long debate was over when the FCC voted 3-2—along party lines—to impose a set of strict neutrality rules. Those regulations banned internet service providers such as Comcast and Verizon from, among other things, blocking content, "throttling" (slowing) consumer uploads and downloads of data, or offering "paid prioritization" plans that offer better service at a higher rate (or less service at lower rates).
The new rules were on the books less than three years before a new Republican majority at the FCC, led by Chairman Ajit Pai, voted to repeal them, setting off a firestorm of protest never before seen at the commission.
Some 22 million comments were received by the commission, with protests held outside Pai's home in the Virginia suburbs, as well as at FCC headquartersin Washington.
The pro-regulation argument was as simple as it was misplaced.
Without government-enforced rules requiring all content to be treated the same way, internet access providers would be able to strategically favor or disfavor internet content—blocking competing content, relegating providers to special "slow lanes," and even blocking access to disfavored political candidates or ideas.
It would mean "the end of the internet as we know it," net neutrality advocates claimed.
But those fears are wildly misplaced. Until 2015, the web did quite well without government rules to enforce neutrality. The internet became a hub of growth and innovation exceeding any other in human history.
It did not then—and does not now—need regulation to save it.
By far the larger threat to continued growth and innovation on the web is the continuation of regulation, not its absence. The differences in service and prices, which are banned under neutrality mandates, are not market failures to be stamped out by force of law.
Instead, marketplace variations—including the ability to offer premium and discount services—are a primary method by which innovations are adopted and small upstart firms can challenge entrenched market leaders. By limiting these beneficial variations, neutrality regulation limits innovation and choice.
The neutrality debate, however, did not end with the repeal of the 2015 rules. Supporters of regulation continued to pursue the debate in the courts, Congress, and state legislatures.
According to one recent count, 72 bills to adopt network neutrality rules have been introduced in 13 states. Four states—Oregon, Washington, Vermont, and now California—have enacted state-level net neutrality laws.
Of these, California is not only the largest state, but its law is the strictest, banning a number of practices that even the FCC hesitated to regulate.
For instance, peer-to-peer interconnection agreements between internet backbone operators are regulated, even though these networks have long negotiated terms on a relatively equal basis.
Digital cable networks—built specifically for the purpose of transporting a cable firm's own programming—would also be subject to neutrality dictates and shared.
In addition, the new California law bans "zero-rating" plans, under which consumers receive selected content free of data fees and other charges from the broadband access provider. The zero-rating prohibition not only increases costs to consumers, but also limits competition with entrenched incumbent broadband providers.
While state laws should not be dismissed lightly, the Justice Department wasted no time in challenging the California law, filing its lawsuit the same day it was signed by Brown. Three days later, the lawsuit was joined by four trade associations representing fixed and mobile broadband providers.
The Justice Department should easily prevail. Federalism does not just mean states' rights, but state limits as well. One of the most important limits concerns regulation of interstate commerce. Power to regulate in this area is expressly granted to the federal government by the Constitution.
That was no constitutional afterthought.
State-imposed burdens on interstate commerce were a primary concern among the drafters of the Constitution, who experienced firsthand the problems with conflicting regulation of commerce under the Articles of Confederation.
Moreover, the Interstate Commerce Clause has long been interpreted as more than a grant of power to Congress, but also as authority to pre-empt states from so regulating—forcing them to keep their paws off interstate commerce.
And that is exactly what happened here. In a clear expression of federal policy, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 sets forth the goal that the internet should remain "[u]nfettered by federal or state regulation."
Pre-emption of the states was even clearer in the FCC's order repealing the 2015 neutrality regulations. In its 2017 order, the FCC declared: "[R]egulation of broadband internet-access service should be governed principally by a uniform set of federal regulations, rather than by a patchwork that includes separate state and local requirements … . We therefore pre-empt any state or local measures that would effectively impose rules or requirements that we have repealed or decided to refrain from imposing."
That conclusion was not based on a whim, but on evidence that a state-based neutrality scheme would interfere with the commission's deregulatory approach to broadband, leaving web surfers in all states worse off.
Moreover, as the commission pointed out, imposing state rules in tandem with federal rules would be impossible to do in any meaningful way. The architecture of the World Wide Web is, well, worldwide. It's not the California Wide Web, or the San Francisco Wide Web.
Servers, routers, and other bits of the network rarely stop at state lines. Regulatory orders cannot be issued just to California's part of the web. It just doesn't work that way.
Pre-emption in network industries in fact is not unusual at all. It is the rule, not the exception. States cannot regulate airline rates or service. Railroad regulation is almost entirely a federal affair, and state laws concerning power grids are limited. Closer to home, state communications rules are highly constrained by federal law. For instance, states cannot set cellphone prices or cap cable bills (unless the market is not competitive).
Others, such as Harold Feld of the pro-regulation advocacy group Public Knowledge, maintain that the FCC surrendered its pre-emption authority when it ruled in its repeal order that it had no power to regulate broadband. That, says Feld, left the FCC with no authority in the matter at all.
That argument depends, however, on Congress being silent on pre-emption, which it has not been. Just last month, for instance, a federal appeals court ruled that regulation of "information" services—a category that now includes broadband—is pre-empted and cannot be regulated by the states.
California's effort to impose its network neutrality law against the Justice Department's legal challenge is unlikely to succeed.
That is good news for web surfers, who would be the losers were these rules upheld. The bad news is that this 20-year-old debate is not likely to end anytime soon, as advocates pursue the debate in courts and Congress with increasingly last-ditch efforts.
That's terrible news for us all.

My name is Margaret, Founder of The Ajala Bug (TAB). I'm an Infrastructure Investment Professional all day and an avid adventurer every other day :).
The Ajala Bug started as a travel lifestyle content & visual storytelling platform revolutionizing travel in Africa, with a little more emphasis on Nigeria. This appears to be evolving into a platform where I share my career journey in Infrastructure development, showcase Africa and share my opinions on topics I am passionate about.
1. contributing to changing the narrative about the African continent by showcasing the beauty that lies within, be it the landscapes, history, beaches, people, cuisines etc.
2. inspiring others to seek their personal experiences by sharing insights and tips about destinations.
3. creating an outlet with all relevant travel related information for Nigerians (including those in diaspora).
After travelling some continents, I can confidently tell you that there's really nowhere quite like Africa. From its vibrant cosmopolitan cities to unrivaled natural beauty and it's upbeat people, there's no better place to be. The continent is young, it's fast growing, and it's urbanizing.

It may be back to work and school for most Kiwis but lifeguards are expecting the country's beaches to remain busy until Easter. With great summer weather drawing people to popular beaches, Surf Life Saving Northern Region (SLSNR) CEO Matt Williams says new challenges continue to arise as lifeguards respond to a widening array of incidents in their mission to keep New Zealanders safe on the beach.
Williams notes the dual challenges the organisation continues to respond too led by annually increasing visitor numbers, and the increasing range of complex incidents lifeguards are being tasked too. "Since the start of the season 1,455 members of the public have needed immediate intervention from lifeguards and as a result 840 lives have being saved during the summer," he says.
Williams says that the focus for the rest of the season will remain with supporting lifeguards who are assisting the public in multiple ways on the beach and continuing to educate the public.
"So far Northern Region lifeguards have been busy with a wide variety of incidents scattered across the region. Despite the growing number of ways people are finding themselves in need of lifeguards services, adhering to all of our key safety messages will go a long way to mitigate risk, and avoid unnecessary accident and injury," he says.
Waitangi Day was particularly busy for volunteer lifeguards who carried out a large number of rescues in difficult and critical conditions. SLSNR worked with their emergency partners to perform 16 rescues with around 14,655 members of the public visiting the beach at one time. Williams says that the different ways that people are getting into trouble demand a varied response from lifeguards.
"There is no consistent pattern of activity or behaviour that's causing people harm. This makes it difficult to identify a behavioural trend to try and remove or reduce harm," he says.
The summer so far has seen a number of tragic incidents with the total number of beach-related fatalities higher now compared to last year. "Our condolences are with the families and whanau during these difficult days," Williams says.
In a time when it is increasingly difficult to get key safety messages across, SLSNR is considering new ways to connect with youth to deliver key messages and attract new lifeguard talent through social media channels like Facebook and Instagram.
This season SLSNR has focused on consolidating the improved practices from last season and looking at better support for each club individually. This includes continuing extended patrol hours to meet the demand. Volunteer lifeguard patrols will continue until 22 April and paid lifeguard services will continue throughout NZ beaches until 8 March.

LeisureCo is a themed entertainment complex, less than ten years old with a high year round fixed overhead and a short season. LeisureCo approaches attracts a majority of its customers during the months of June to September, but even during this month attendance fluctuates greatly, peaking during holidays and weekends.
The short season means that LeisureCo maintains a seasonal workforce of 500 frontline workers through the season, composed mainly of students. Very few of these stay the entire season, leaving after a few weeks and most never return the next season.
In addition to a seasonal workforce LeisureCo must also cope with requirements of flexibility where the workers must be able to perform a wide variety of jobs according to daily requirements of the park.
How does LeisureCo achieve this while maintaining satisfactory levels of customer care?


Vitel toné, also called ternera atunada, is a Christmas classic recipe that is originally from Italy where it's called vitello tonnato. It is composed of slices of veal that are served with a creamy anchovy and tuna-based creamy sauce.
Vitello tonnato started to appear in cookbooks in the northern region of Piedmont, which was attached to the coastal Liguria region at the time. This is the region where tuna was canned, but also where oil, lemons and capers, other ingredients of tonnato sauce, were traded. At the time, tuna was actually considered a condiment.
What vitello tonnato did not include back then was mayonnaise as it is more of a twentieth century addition. It is believed that tuna was pounded with the capers and oil to produce a creaminess that was eventually recreated with mayo.
Even though it is a rather traditional dish with a lot of history, there is not one recipe of vitel toné but rather different variations based on a basic recipe.
Some chefs say that you need to brown the veal roast in olive oil, then simmer it with carrot, onion, celery, white wine and bay leaf. Other chefs insist on braising the veal in unsalted water with vegetables.
Some make the sauce with olive oil and then add canned tuna in oil. Others favor mayonnaise, either store-bought or homemade, and prefer to use canned tuna in water, drained.
You will often see layers of veal entirely covered with sauce so that the veal can barely be distinguished. Others prefer to serve the veal with a little bit of sauce on the side. This is not a common way of serving vitel toné as the sauce is supposed to infiltrate the veal for several hours, sometimes days.
The meat broth is used to thin out the sauce until reaching the right consistency. If you have some leftover broth, why not use it to make risotto as it is often recommended?
Classic cuts for vitel toné include coscia (leg), girello (top round) or magatello (eye of round). Those cuts allow for long simmering without drying out. More modern recipes sometimes call for fesa (rump). In the US, these cuts of veal are not common, so veal loin is often substituted. Sometimes, less expensive meats such as beef, turkey and pork loin are used as well.
One thing for sure, the meat must ideally be of an attractive pink color.
The first documented recipe of vitello tonnato was in the Italian cooking bible La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene (Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well) in 1891. Hard to believe but this cookbook by Pellegrino Artusi, a rich merchant turned cooking enthusiast, is one of Italy's most-read books, along with Pinocchio and The Betrothed!
Prior to that date, there are mentions in other cookbooks of a recipe for "rested veal", a dish where the meat is boiled, sliced and left to rest after being covered with a little sauce containing anchovies. Indeed, tonnato sauce, one of the most copied Italian sauces in the world initially had nothing to do with mayonnaise or tuna, but did contain plenty of anchovies.
Vitello tonnato is definitely a summer dish that is served as an antipasto or as a light secondo piatto (second dish). In Lombardy, the recipe is associated with the summer holiday of Ferragosto on August 15, which coincides with the catholic holiday of the Assumption of Mary.
In Argentina, vitel toné has become a traditional Christmas dish. Don't forget that it is summertime right now in this Latin American country at the southern tip of the South American continent.
I have to admit that I am not used to cooking land and sea animals together, but I was willing to give it a try.
We ate the dish at room temperature after it had been out of the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. The meat had absorbed the flavors of the sauce for at least 3 hours. The meat was absolutely delicious and tender. The creaminess of the sauce is perfectly balanced by the salty and fishy ingredients. Somehow, this meat and fish combination works perfectly. My kids loved it but I still waited until they finished their plate to tell them they just had anchovies… and they still said they loved it.
A real success at home for this improbable recipe that even my wife Anne adored. I loved the sauce so much that I will probably try it on other meats or fish.
Viva Italia. Viva Argentina. And Merry Christmas everyone!
Vitel toné is a classic Christmas Argentinian dish originally from Italy, which consists of veal slathered with an anchovy and tuna-based creamy sauce.
Clean meat of fat. In a large pot, sear meat for a couple minutes on each side.
Add the onion, carrot, garlic, celery, parsley, bay leaf, and cover with water. Add salt to taste. Cook until just tender, about an hour and a half, or 30 minutes in a pressure cooker.
Allow meat to cool in the liquid. Take meat out and cut into very thin slices with an electric knife or a sharp knife.
In a blender, add yolks of 8 hard-boiled eggs and well drained tuna. Add olive oil gradually while blending and blend until obtaining a smooth and homogeneous sauce.
Add about ½ cup of the strained cooking broth and continue blending. Add the mustard, anchovies, mayonnaise, lemon juice and black pepper. Blend until well mixed. If the sauce is not liquid enough, add more broth.
Arrange sliced meat on a large platter and cover with the sauce. Sprinkle capers on top.
Grate the remaining whites of the hard-boiled eggs, and sprinkle around the meat on the edges of the platter.
Leave the vitel tone a few hours in the refrigerator so the meat can absorb the flavors. Serve cold or at room temperature.
You can also serve the vitel tone on a bed of salad or alfafa sprouts.
I Will definitely try this one, This look and sounds wonderful !!I love the interesting story of blog!! Thank you!!
Thanks for this post, I'm argentinean and was unsure of how to describe this recipe to my South African family, and got all the info I needed here 🙂 so glad you enjoyed vitel tone, can't wait to try the recipe out in CT!
Thanks so much for your comment Rose. Please tell us how yours turn out!

A: All the writing options in NSDocument get a string parameter to specify the type of file that should be written. So in your dataOfType:error: or fileWrapperOfType:error: methods you should implement the conversion code for each file type you want to support.
To start your export operation you can use the method saveToURL:ofType:forSaveOperation:completionHandler: with the desired type and a save operation of NSSaveToOperation.
For more information on the methods you can override to support loading and saving document data take a look at this programming guide.
You can get the available types from the class method writableTypes or the instance method writableTypesForSaveOperation:, again with NSSaveToOperation.
The file types you want to support need to be declared in your Info.plist file.

A: If your NSDocument subclass supports in-place autosaving, and all writable types are also readable (as they should be), I would recommend to use the already provided type-conversion workflow, where the user should use "Duplicate" followed by "Save".
In this workflow, when the user "Duplicate" the document, it's written/copied to a temporary file (where autosaved files are saved) as an untitled document. When the user closes the document window, the app suggests her to save the document or delete it. Since the document has no permanent URL yet, an NSSavePanel will appear with an accessory view that lets the user to select the document type.
In this solution everything is already provided by Cocoa and you don't have to do anything to support a special "Export" functionality as the user can use "Duplicate" followed by "Save".
You only have to be able to save your document to all writable types from dataOfType:error: or in fileWrapperOfType:error: according to the typeName argument (as Sven said).
The advantage here is that the user has to choose the URL only when she closes the file (and chooses not to delete it) - and is compatible with the new workflow in document-based apps where the "save as" operation has been replaced by "duplicate" followed by "save".
Note that you also have to make sure that you can duplicate documents of non-writable documents (you can achieve that by copying the original file instead of using writeSafelyToURL:ofType:forSaveOperation:error:).

Democrats Break with Nancy Pelosi on $3 Trillion Coronavirus Bill
House Democrats started breaking with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Friday as Congress' lower chamber prepares to vote on the $3 trillion, 1,815-page bill. Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) said before the House vote: Unfortunately, many Member of Congress — including some in my own party — have decided to use this package as an opportunity to make political statements and propose a bill that goes far beyond pademic relief and has no chance at becoming law, furhter delaying the help so many need.
Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-SC) said he will also vote against the $3 trillion coronavirus bill. He called the legislation "Washington politics at its worst" and "now is not the time to advance a partisan wish list or refuse to come to the negotiating table." Both of these lawmakers represent swing districts that President Donald Trump won by more than six percentage points during the 2016 election and House Democrats flipped during the 2018 congressional elections. Republicans need to retake 17 seats to regain the House majority. Republicans urgue the legislation is toxic due to its enormous price tag and includes many provisions that do not involve coronavirus aid.
