Better Call Saul showrunner Peter Gould: "We thought it was going to be kind of a romp"

Filed to:Interview
Note: This interview discusses plot points of seasons three and four of Better Call Saul.
It's been three seasons now, and Bob Odenkirk's Jimmy McGill has yet to make his ill-fated transformation into Saul Goodman in AMC's Better Call Saul. That might change in season four—after all, the third-season finale ended with the death of Jimmy's brother, Chuck (Michael McKean). Who knows how Jimmy might react? The new season looks to get even more tense, complicated, and dark, as it deals with the fallout from Chuck's death, Jimmy's suspension from practicing law, Mike's new employers, the growing presence of Gus Fring, and more. But that doesn't mean there won't be time for one or two of Jimmy's signature schemes. In anticipation of the fourth-season premiere, The A.V. Club spoke to co-showrunner Peter Gould about the loss of Michael McKean's regular presence on set, how different the show is from what he and Vince Gilligan initially planned, and the difficulty of crafting an endgame that lines up perfectly with the start of one of the most beloved shows in recent memory.
The A.V. Club: The new season picks up quite literally right after last season's finale. Given what happened at the end of last year—the death of Chuck—did you know you wanted to dive into the immediate fallout?
Peter Gould: You know, one of the great things about our writers' room is that we try to look at everything from every angle. We always try to say, what if we did this? What if we did that? But we quickly came to the conclusion that seeing the immediate aftermath of what happened in season three was important to us, and when we tried to game out another approach, it always felt like we were missing something. Something very important. So, yeah, we did.
And you know, it's a funny thing about this show and to some extent Breaking Bad. We've always had these big plans for jumping forward in time. And then there's always a good reason not to. And that's one of the reasons I think sometimes we get a little bit of juice or dramatic momentum going, just from following events closely. But every once in a while we try to jump time. This is not one of those times.
AVC: How did the show need to adjust after the death of Chuck? We obviously haven't necessarily seen the last of Michael McKean, given how the show has always played with chronology, but the character looms so large in Jimmy's life that his passing really shakes up the chessboard of the narrative.
PG: Oh, without a doubt. And Chuck's death was not an easy choice, partially because we loved writing the character. Chuck is ever-fascinating. And because of the man who plays him—Michael McKean is a wonderful actor. He's also fun to work with and generous. And so having this happen was not an arbitrary decision. It's maybe the most difficult decision I've ever been a part of in the writers' room. But the way our logic worked essentially was, what happens after the big episode, the big confrontation in the middle of season three? We saw Jimmy reveal Chuck's illness to the world. Chuck was humiliated. And the first thing we started thinking about after that was, well, how is Chuck going to strike back at Jimmy?
And just as we started talking about it, I think we all felt exhausted. We thought, "Is this the only thing that this character is going to do, is to just scheme against his brother?" And Michael is such a brilliant guy. And he's got such a reflective aspect. We thought, wouldn't it be more interesting if Chuck learned something from this? If Chuck took a message of change from what happened in the middle of the season?
And strangely enough, that very positive thought and that very positive feeling led almost inexorably to the death of the character, because we realized as we went that his pride would be an obstacle for him in his healing, in gaining perspective. And he was sadly unable to overcome that pride. So the effect on Jimmy, of course, is going to be enormous. And that is the story of this season to a great extent. Chuck's death affects Jimmy deeply, Chuck's death affects Kim. There are ripple effects throughout the story. Some of them maybe even a little bit unexpected. A lot of them very unexpected, I should say. [Laughs.]

AVC: What will you miss most about working with Michael, at least as a cast regular?
PG: Michael. Well, for one thing, when you're working with Michael McKean, you're working with a man who is a real artist. He's somebody who works very hard, who sees very deeply into the story, who does all his work, but you're also talking about someone who is a show business legend. So you can't work with Michael without thinking back to Spinal Tap and [Laverne & Shirley's] Lenny and Squiggy, Best In Show, all the incredible work he's done. And it doesn't seem real that this guy who has done so many amazing things in show business—and by the way, what often doesn't even get mentioned is he's also an incredible presence on Broadway and live theater—getting to work with him on a daily basis is just really special. And he, I think, elevates every scene that he's in.
The glory of series television, for me, is that we write the show and then we learn from the show. So we watch how the scenes play out and then we learn about the characters from how the scenes play out. And we're able to adjust the story. I think our story changed radically when we saw how Michael played this character and he taught me a lot about Chuck McGill. I think he taught all of us a lot about Chuck McGill, and by extension we learned a lot about Jimmy from the relationship that he and Bob created together. Even in that very first scene they had back in the first episode of the show. So I'm going to miss Michael on every level. But as you pointed out, we always have the hope that we're gonna see him again because we give ourselves license to travel back and forth in chronology on this show. So who knows, maybe we'll see him again.
AVC: Now that we're clearly approaching the tipping point for Jimmy into Saul, and other characters like Gus are beginning to play a bigger role, is it starting to get tougher to tie the narrative threads together to the eventual place we see them begin in Breaking Bad?
PG: Oh, absolutely. I think we have an incredible advantage and an incredible disadvantage. Our advantage is we have all the episodes that have gone before of Better Call Saul and of Breaking Bad to draw on and to enrich the story. That's the upside. And of course the show wouldn't exist without Breaking Bad and without the fans who made it a success. But then the other side of it is, it's this incredible Rubik's Cube to keep the characters consistent—to keep the chronology consistent, to keep the locations consistent. I can't tell you how often we've said, "Wouldn't it be great if thus-and-so happened at such-and-such a place?" And then we find out that Albuquerque, like any major city, changes very quickly. And so those locations and those people may not be available to us.
I can't tell you how many times we've wanted characters to meet on Better Call Saul. And then we've looked at the scenes where they met on Breaking Bad and said to ourselves, "Could it be that they had already met in this scene? They didn't say they were meeting for the first time." But if you're being honest with yourself, you say, well, it really does it look like they're meeting for the first time. There's all these pieces and all these parallel stories and we're trying to make something that's coherent and that hopefully pays off. And I have to say, it's an ongoing process. My hope, my dream is that we'll be able to stick the ending of the show when that ending comes. I was so proud of being a part of Breaking Bad and I really felt that Vince and the rest of us were able to stick the landing, to really have it end in a satisfying way, to finish the story as it began and to really be telling one coherent story. And I'm hoping we can do the same thing on this show. But it's a struggle, and it's a little daunting.
AVC: Does it still surprise you to see how much darker and complicated the series continues to get as it goes along, considering how lighthearted and comedic you had initially planned it to be?
PG: Oh my god. [Laughs.] When Vince and I started this, I think we thought it was going to be kind of a romp, to be honest with you. I think when we had our initial pitch to AMC and Sony, once we had discarded the idea of doing it as a half-hour even then, even when it was the first hour version, it was just much more lighthearted legal fun and shenanigans. I will hasten to say that there are, still, shenanigans in this season. In fact, I think some of our best shenanigans ever this season. But the shenanigans and the scams and the twists are all in the context of much deeper characters than I could've ever imagined.
So yeah, the show has completely taken me by surprise. But I think we arrived at it in as organic a process as we could, and it's really by constantly asking ourselves, you know, what would these people be thinking about right now? What does Jimmy want at this moment? What does Chuck want at this moment, what does Kim want at this moment? And by trying to be as honest as we could with ourselves about who these people were and are and are becoming. So it's completely surprising to me, but it's just the result of dogged pursuit, of trying to understand these people.
AVC: Just quick before we wrap, I have to ask: Am I crazy, or are there more blue accents in this season than before?
PG: [Laughs.] We absolutely pay an awful lot of attention to color. Color is fascinating to all of us as a way of telling the story and commenting on the story. Not everything has a symbolic value—but I think it's interesting that there's more blue. I like that observation.

Chemtrails Exposed: The Common Roots of the New Manhattan Project and the Theory of Man-Made Global Warming
Peter A. Kirby, Contributor
As Archimedes declared… "Eureka!"
As it turns out, both the New Manhattan Project and the theory of man-made global warming share many important, early historical roots. Both came from a group of Swedish scientists active during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
These scientists were members of something called the Stockholm Physics Society. The founder and main attraction of this group was a man by the name of Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927). Svante Arrhenius was the scientist who originally came up with the theory of man-made global warming and he did it during his time with the Stockholm Physics Society.
Arrhenius and the Stockholm Physics Society's work pertaining to plasma physics, atomic physics, meteorology, atmospheric electricity, and weather modification also provide compelling links to today's global weather modification project the author appropriately calls the New Manhattan Project.
This article is mostly based upon a biography of Svante Arrhenius by Elisabeth Crawford titled Arrhenius: From Ionic Theory to the Greenhouse Effect. Oddly enough, this book was published in 1996; the same year that large-scale domestic spraying operations began.
For more about the New Manhattan Project, please refer to the author's book Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project, available exclusively at Amazon.
Svante Arrhenius was a Swedish scientist who was the first person to significantly assert and popularize the theory of man-made climate change.
Although Arrhenius is not very well known today, in his time he was considered Sweden's most prominent scientist; receiving a slew of honorary doctorates from the most prestigious universities in Europe as well as a large heap of exclusive awards and medals including the 1903 Nobel prize for chemistry. He worked internationally and in multiple languages.
Arrhenius worked in his native Swedish as well as in the German, English, and French languages, with German being the most predominant. He often published in all four languages. Crawford notes that, "His closest working relationships were with members of the German, English, and, later, American scientific communities." He was quite gregarious and had hundreds of scientist friends in Europe and North America.
Arrhenius was born on February 19, 1859 near the city of Uppsala, Sweden. His father was the agent for a noble family called the von Essens. Soon after his birth, his family moved into a house inside the city of Uppsala proper. This was where Arrhenius spent his childhood and youth.
Arrhenius was admitted to Uppsala University in 1876 where he concentrated on his studies of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The University of Uppsala, founded in 1477, is Sweden's oldest and Arrhenius' father was an employee of the university.
In 1881, Arrhenius followed his professor Otto Petterson to the capital city of Stockholm to study at the new Stockholm Högskola for three years. The Stockholm Högskola had opened in 1878 as a private, non-degree-granting institution of higher learning oriented toward the sciences. These three years at the Högskola set Arrhenius' work on the course he was to follow for the next decade.
In Stockholm, Arrhenius also studied at the Institute of Physics of the Swedish Academy of Sciences under Erik Edlund (1819-1888). Sweden's Central Meteorological Office was located at the Institute of Physics and until the early 1870s, Arrhenius' mentor, Edlund had been in charge of weather observations there. Undoubtedly at the behest of Edlund, it was during his time at the Academy that Arrhenius made his first serious excursion into the atmospheric sciences and, even more pertinently, his first serious excursion into the field of atmospheric electricity with a paper on the topic of ball lightning published in the Academy proceedings.
Arrhenius began to move within a broad network of European scientists that was centered on the Committee on Electrolysis of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS). The BAAS was headed by the noted physicist Sir Oliver Lodge (1851-1940). Sir Oliver Lodge was the main European pioneer in the field of electrostatic precipitation and, as readers of this work already know, the field of electrostatic precipitation is central to the New Manhattan Project.
For more about the history and current relevance of electrostatic precipitation, please see the author's previous articles "Chemtrails Exposed: Dresser Industries and the New Manhattan Project" as well as "Chemtrails Exposed: The Research Corporation for Science Advancement and the Origins of the New Manhattan Project."
Arrhenius eventually established a lively academic discourse with Lodge. The two conversed mostly about early plasma physics. Although they didn't call it that yet, plasma physics is another field with direct relevance to today's New Manhattan Project mainly due to the fact that ionospheric plasmas are today being manipulated by ground-based antennas known as ionospheric heaters.
Although they were not fast friends, the famous scientist Max Planck (1858-1947) was also one of Arrhenius' contemporaries.
Arrhenius was also involved in the field of early atomic physics. This is relevant to our investigation for the fact that today's New Manhattan Project is an outgrowth of the original Manhattan Project; which was all about atomic physics. For more about how this happened, please refer to the author's previous article "Chemtrails Exposed: Truly a New Manhattan Project."
Arrhenius later became a student of radioactivity in 1909 when he was taught by the famous, pioneering atomic physicist Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) at the University of Manchester.
After studying abroad in Germany, Arrhenius returned to Sweden in 1891 to find that a new culture had swept the nation. This new, emergent culture appears to have been somewhat similar to that which emerged in America in the late 1960s. It was marked by individual introspection, communion with the natural world, and political progressivism. This new culture was largely centered around a small elite in Stockholm which expressed itself through art, literature, and science. Social Darwinism played a central role in the philosophy of this new cultural movement. This progressive movement of the late 1800s in Sweden even had its own dialect known as 'New Swedish.'
Also upon his return, Arrhenius became a teacher of physics at the Stockholm Högskola. In 1893 Arrhenius was joined at the Högskola by Vilhelm Bjerknes (1862-1951). The two went on to become good friends and colleagues. The presence of Vilhelm Bjerknes is significant to our investigation because he went on to identify the basic equations of atmospheric dynamics which eventually paved the way for today's computerized atmospheric modeling. Bjerknes had studied under Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894) at the University of Bonn. His doctoral dissertation was about experimental investigations of Hertzian waves. Hertz is the father of the study of electromagnetic energy, which plays a key role in the NMP. His generalized theorems of atmospheric circulation were based on analogies between hydrodynamic and electromagnetic forces.
The Swedish meteorological establishment had extensive ties to the Stockholm Högskola and Arrhenius. The first director of Sweden's Central Meteorological Office, a man by the name of Robert Rubenson, was a professor of physics at the Högskola from 1878 to 1887. Another Central Meteorological Office meteorologist by the name of Nils Ekholm (1848-1923) became one of Arrhenius' closest collaborators.
Cosmic physics and the Stockholm Physics Society
In the fall of 1891, Arrhenius initiated the Stockholm Physics Society as a forum for lectures and discussion pertaining to the latest advances in physics. In the context of this new Society, physics was defined broadly as comprising neighboring fields such as meteorology, geophysics, astrophysics, and physical chemistry.
The fortnightly meetings of this new Society were held at the Physics Institute of the Stockholm Högskola. A man by the name of Bernard Hasselberg was elected president, the aforementioned Otto Petterson became vice-president, and Arrhenius became secretary. This new Society was immediately well attended. The aforementioned Robert Rubenson and Nils Ekholm attended the meetings as well a third man associated with the Central Meteorological Office by the name of Hugo Hamburg. The Stockholm Physics Society was more like a social debating club rather than a serious scientific institution.
The largest number of lectures at this new Stockholm Physics Society meeting at the Stockholm Högskola concerned the physics of the Earth, the sea, and the atmosphere. This area of study was known as 'cosmic physics.' Early on, most of the lectures on cosmic physics were given by Arrhenius himself. Cosmic physics is of direct applicability to today's New Manhattan Project because modification or control of the earth's weather must take into consideration not only the physics of the atmosphere, but all environmental factors.
Although Arrhenius probably first heard of cosmic physics during his time studying abroad in Germany, where it had been institutionalized, the variety of cosmic physics practiced in Sweden in the late 1800s and early 1900s was substantially different than that which was practiced in Germany. The German cosmic physicists served as counterparts to the Swedish cosmic physicists.
This was not Arrhenius' first work in the subject. Years earlier, in 1888, Arrhenius had studied atmospheric electricity; an aspect of cosmic physics. He analyzed measurements of atmospheric electricity as well as other meteorological data in order to understand the influence of ultraviolet light from the sun on the conductivity of the air. This was all in order to explain the movement of charged particles (ions) in the earth's electric field and dispersion of electricity in the atmosphere. Arrhenius' early in this subject has the New Manhattan Project written all over it.
At the Stockholm Physics Society, Arrhenius also reported on his continuing work in the area of atomic physics. Other members offered information on topics with relevance to the New Manhattan Project such as aeronautics.
The members of the Stockholm Physics Society shared not only a consuming interest in physics, but they also shared a political ideology. They were a product of their times in that they were politically progressive. Conversely, members of the progressive political parties of the time were also scientists. With the influence of these predominant political views surrounding him, Arrhenius became a progressive himself. Crawford writes:
While the passion for science was the primary bond between members of the society, they also shared progressive political opinions. Several of them – Nils Ekholm, Hugo Hamberg, Arvid Högbom – had been radicalized as students at Uppsala in the 1880s and one of them, Arvid Högbom, could claim to have been the first dues-paying member of the radical student association Verdandi, founded in 1882. The political circles in the capital with which they were most likely to sympathize were liberal reformist ones. The Liberals favored extending voting rights, limited at the time to about six percent of the adult population (women did not have the right to vote), and improving social welfare. In these and other issues, they often made common front with the Social Democrats. There were scientists among the supporters of both parties; in fact, the Social democratic leader, Hjalmar Branting, had worked as an astronomer before becoming engaged full-time in politics and political journalism. It was a new experience for Arrhenius to consort with colleagues whose political beliefs were translated into action. He had probably not given politics much thought before leaving Sweden. Although he never was much interested in politics, he nevertheless acquired the liberal reformist views that he would hold for the rest of his life.
Crawford continues,
The members of the Physics Society and the broader scientific circles in which Arrhenius moved shared a distinctive conception of the role of science in society. Having first-hand knowledge of the many ways in which science had improved living conditions – electric lights at home and in the streets and better sanitary standards, for instance – they firmly believed that science fostered progress. In this they came closest to the 'optimistic evolutionism' that was an important part of late nineteenth century philosophies of progress.
This over-arching theme of political progressivism is of note to our discussion because, as we will soon see, it was during this period of his work with the politically progressive scientists of the Stockholm Physics Society, that Arrhenius first developed the theory of man-made climate change. A theory which, to this day, is marked by political progressivism. And the theory of man-made climate change is relevant to the New Manhattan Project because today's geoengineers use the theory of catastrophic man-made global warming as an excuse for dumping tens of thousands of megatons of toxic materials from aircraft ANNUALLY – a key aspect of today's New Manhattan Project. Could the theory of catastrophic man-made global warming have more to do with politics than science? That's not what the Old Media said. Please read on.
The Stockholm Physics Society also found a receptive audience in the press. Arrhenius in particular was regularly published for his reporting upon the Society's meetings. He found the local press to be eager to publish his articles and pay him a fee for his troubles. This is consistent with today's mass media which overwhelmingly produces content from politically progressive sources. Arrhenius provided the local media with a steady stream of his work, including a piece on the means to artificially produce rainfall. Yes, that's right. Arrhenius did work in weather modification – a field with only the most direct relevance to today's New Manhattan Project.
Arrhenius' participation in the media continued for many years. He became an important popularizer of science. In the early 1900s, he had many popular books published on topics such as cosmic physics. To this day, one can order his books online. His most popular book was published in 1908 and was titled Worlds in the Making.
Cosmic physics at the Stockholm Physics Society flourished throughout the 1890s. This new discipline relied upon recent advances in data collection as well as advances in theoretical and experimental physics. Arrhenius was the main promoter of cosmic physics in Stockholm. He worked almost exclusively in cosmic physics from the mid 1890s to the first few years of the new century. It was from this work in cosmic physics that Arrhenius first began to postulate about atmospheric carbon dioxide and its effect on earth's temperature.
Arrhenius' theory of man-made global climate change
Almost exactly 100 years before large-scale, domestic spraying operations began, Arrhenius began his investigations of atmospheric carbon dioxide at the Stockholm Physics Society in 1895. The idea of linking variations in atmospheric carbon dioxide to climate change came to Arrhenius near the end of 1894. He started work on the notion on Christmas Eve, 1894. His first articles on the subject were published exactly one year later. Interestingly, 1895 was a year of emotional turmoil for Arrhenius. In that year, his first marriage dissolved, his chair in physics at the Högskola seemed in jeopardy, and his son was born.
Both Arrhenius and Bjerknes worked on the issue. Arrhenius' colleague Högbom contributed significantly in this area as well. Högbom's contributions consisted of 'guesstimates' of the amount of CO2 contributed to the atmosphere by different means.
Specifically, Arrhenius' investigation pertained to atmospheric carbon dioxide's influence upon the coming and passing of Ice Ages. Arrhenius warned that our present existence may be, "nothing but a short flourishing of civilization between two Ice Ages."
Although Arrhenius is not referenced, it is interesting to note that in 1997 LLNL scientists Teller, Wood, and Hyde released a research paper titled "Global Warming and Ice Ages: Prospects for Physics-Based Modulation of Global Change" wherein the authors suggest that saturating the upper atmosphere with small aluminum particles could avert the next ice age.
In all honesty, there was one other scientist who had previously postulated that levels of atmospheric CO2 could have an effect upon climate. In 1861 England's John Tyndall (1820-1893) suggested as much. But Arrhenius is more notable here because he produced a model in attempts to prove it and he popularized the theory with multiple media publications and speeches.
Arrhenius' assertions about atmospheric CO2 having a warming effect upon earth's climate were based upon the so-called 'greenhouse effect' of atmospheric vapors first postulated by Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) in 1824. The major difference here is that Fourier did not specify CO2. Although the term 'greenhouse effect' did not come into use until much later, it was probably Arrhenius who first used the hothouse metaphor.
In America, Arrhenius' theories about atmospheric carbon dioxide were further investigated by geologist Thomas Chamberlin (1843-1928) at the Rockefeller founded and funded University of Chicago. It was not until the 1970s that the theory of man-made global climate change began gaining large-scale popular traction in America.
Immediately after entertaining Arrhenius' theories of man-made global warming, the Stockholm Physics Society largely concerned itself with Bjerknes' circulation theorem as it pertained to meteorological problems. Arrhenius did not take a significant role in these proceedings. Arrhenius, instead, went on to study cosmic physics more broadly, including the atmospheric electricity which is so central to today's New Manhattan Project.
Arrhenius went on to write extensively about atmospheric electricity. The second volume of his 1903 book Lehrbuch der kosmischen Physik was all about the physics of the atmosphere and atmospheric electricity.
Following Arrhenius' early significant work on the subject, the next major development in the saga of the theory of man-made climate change didn't come until 1955 when Fortune magazine published an article written by the famous Manhattan Project scientist John von Neumann titled "Can We Survive Technology?" Von Neumann's article ushered in the modern era of the theory as he suggested that we could employ Solar Radiation Management geoengineering in order to save ourselves from the catastrophic effects of atmospheric temperature fluctuations.
For more about von Neumann's groundbreaking 1955 article, please refer to the author's 2017 article "Can We Survive Technology? The Origin of SRM Geoengineering and the Modern Theory of Man-made Global Warming."
It is interesting to note that in the late 1800s, at the same time Arrhenius was developing the earliest, significant work on the theory of man-made global warming, Helena Blavatsky's Theosophy was making its first inroads into Sweden as well. Arrhenius' first wife was enamored with it.
In Rodney Howard-Browne and Paul L. Williams' 2018 book The Killing of Uncle Sam, the authors note how a key founding member of something called the Society of the Elect named William Stead was a disciple of Theosophy. This Society of the Elect went on to branch off into the Roundtable Movement, the Committee of 300 and many other powerful organizations. It branched off into the groups that have been secretly using global corporations to forge the course of Humanity.
Coupled with the fact that the theory of man-made climate change has been popularly used as a determinant factor for the course of Humanity, a further examination of Theosophy is warranted here.
Stead wrote that his Society of the Elect was to, "chart the course of events that would culminate in a New World Order." According to Stead, the Pilgrim Societies, the Round Table, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bank of International Settlements, the World Bank, and the Trilateral Commission are all offshoots of the Society of the Elect.
Theosophists such as Stead were devil worshippers. In her book The Secret Doctrine, lead Theosophist Helena Blavatsky wrote, "Demon est Deus inversus: that is to say, through every point of Infinite Space thrill the magnetic and electrical currents of animate Nature, the life-giving and death-giving waves, for death on earth becomes life on another plane. Lucifer is devine and terrestrial light, the 'Holy Ghost' and 'Satan,' at one and the same time…"
Thomas Edison, Adolph Hitler, and FDR's vice-president Henry Wallace, among many other notables, were all disciples of Blavatsky. Edison has very serious implications for the New Manhattan Project as his General Electric went on to roll-out the scientific era of weather modification in 1946 and produce lots of applicable technology.
Arrhenius in California
Strangely enough, in the early 1900s Arrhenius made it all the way to California. Once here, among other, more touristy destinations, he visited Wallace Campbell's (1862-1938) Lick Observatory at Mount Hamilton, Jacques Loeb's (1859-1924) marine biology station in Pacific Grove, as well as the campus of UC Berkeley. For the fee of $1K (about $28K in today's money), Arrhenius gave lectures during Berkeley's 1904 summer session. Loeb was a professor at Berkeley and during this time, Arrhenius lodged with the Loeb family at their house. At Berkeley, Arrhenius formed lasting professional relationships with other Berkeley scientists.
In particular, Arrhenius formed a lasting correspondence with Wallace Campbell. Being that Campbell was the director of the Lick Observatory, Arrhenius shared his interest in cosmic physics. In fact, in 1905, Arrhenius and his colleague from the Högskola, mathematician and amateur astronomer Gustav Kobb joined the Lick Observatory eclipse expedition to Alhambra, Spain.
Berkeley botanist Winthrop Osterhout (1871-1964) also became a lifelong friend and correspondent. Osterhout brought Arrhenius to the Bohemian Club clubhouse in downtown San Francisco as well as to their annual summer retreat at their Bohemian Grove encampment on the banks of the Russian River, north of San Francisco. The Bohemian Club and their Bohemian Grove are of interest to our investigation of the New Manhattan Project for quite a few reasons.
Many famous scientists who have connections to the New Manhattan Project have been Bohemian Club members including Ernest Lawrence (1901-1958). The Stanford Research Institute (SRI), which has firm implications for the New Manhattan Project, was originally organized by three members at the Bohemian Grove in 1945. Also, in the early 1940s, the plans for the original Manhattan Project were partially formulated at the Bohemian Grove.
Lastly, it is interesting and relevant to our investigation to note that, during his time at and around UC Berkeley, Arrhenius most probably met Frederick Gardner Cottrell (1877-1948); a key figure in the historical development of the New Manhattan Project. Cottrell was the American pioneer in the field of electrostatic precipitation and founded something called the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA). At the time of Arrhenius' visit, Cottrell was teaching physical chemistry at Berkeley, a subject in which Arrhenius was well versed.
Following his California trip, Arrhenius went back to his native country. In the fall of 1924, Arrhenius suffered a stroke from which he never recovered. Three years later, he died and was buried in the town cemetery of Uppsala, Sweden.
Although Arrhenius is the putative originator of the theory of man-made global warming, pertaining to this, he really originated nothing.
Arrhenius' work here was unscientific from the beginning. He first had the idea that changes in amounts of atmospheric CO2 had an effect upon climate, then he created a model to prove it. The proper way to conduct science is to simply conduct experiments and see what happens. Arrhenius' work here was contrary to the scientific method and mathematical models are inherently of seriously questionable scientific validity. For more about the philosophies behind proper scientific methods and practices, please refer to Marvin Herndon's excellent books Maverick's Earth and Universe as well as Herndon's Earth and the Dark Side of Science.
Arrhenius' models were based on what amounts to wild speculation. He did not have access to the vast amounts of data needed to confirm his grand assertions. Networks for the collection of the necessary data did not exist at the time. His work in this area relied simply upon guesstimates and contributions from his peers; not any real empirical data. He was in way over his head and thus, his work in this area holds no validity whatsoever.
The entire notion that increases in atmospheric CO2 causes an increase in average global temperature, which is what Arrhenius was asserting, is completely backwards. In his 2014 book The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science, climatologist Dr. Timothy Ball writes that an increase in the earth's average global temperature is ALWAYS FOLLOWED by an increase in atmospheric CO2 – not the other way around. Dr. Ball specifies that the only place where an increase in atmospheric CO2 is followed by an increase in the earth's average temperature is in the leading alarmist climate models emanating from the United Nations.
Gaping hole after gaping hole can be punched (and has been punched) through the theory of man-made climate change. I will probably be writing another book.
The science was unsound then and it is unsound now. Nevertheless, the political left of the time picked it up and ran with it then and the political left continues to run with it today. Today they do so because the agendas associated with it are the agendas of today's mainstream, mass media-influenced, lowest common denominator, political left. The establishment wants to sell you on: big government, crony capitalism, deindustrialization, and centralized control.
That's not to say that all leftists are stupid and/or ignorant. Many on the political left see right through the theory of man-made global warming and are really great people. Disclaimers aside, let us continue.
It is undeniable that gigantic socio-economic agendas are attached to the theory of man-made global climate change. This agenda is exemplified by the Green New Deal. From the proposed legislation presented on congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's website, we see that, because of catastrophic man-made global warming, we are supposed to: transition to alternative forms of energy, upgrade all existing buildings, eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, overhaul transportation systems, reconstruct labor laws, and oh so much more.
And, by the way, please don't forget how geoengineers say they want to spray us with tens of thousands of megatons of toxic materials in order to save us from the dreaded climate change.
We should not be burdened with an unbelievably vast, expensive, and cruel socio-economic agenda by those of a particular political bias which has served to corrupt the underlying reason for the necessity of all of this in the first place.
It is not a coincidence that the political left was pushing it then and the political left is pushing it now. The demonstrated, inherent, historical and current political bias inextricably intertwined with the theory of man-made global warming pushes any honest, objective search for truth out of the realm of possibilities.
Our justice system provides a good example. Would you want a detective, who you know hates your guts, investigating you? No. It would only be a fair and impartial search for truth if the detective was impartial. Any significant bias on the part of the investigator would almost assuredly result in some imbalance(s) later on in the proceedings.
The lack of objectivity pertaining to the theory of man-made global warming relegates the theory solely to the realm of political ideology and nothing else.
The former chairman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Meteorology Department, Richard Lindzen said it best when he said words to the effect that the theory of man-made global warming is about money, politics, and power, not science.
This is just the beginning of more gigantic investigations. What has been excavated here is just a small portion of something much larger.
So, what happened to this group of Swedish scientists? Did their descendants, descendant organizations, and/or disciples go on to have anything to do with the New Manhattan Project? We know what has become of their theory of man-made global warming. Did their descendants, biological or otherwise, continue with the global warming nonsense? This apparently is the case.
When one considers some of the elements discussed here in this paper such as: the theory of man-made climate change, the extreme political left, and Theosophy, one begins to make out a history of how we got to where we are now. One begins to see how the establishment uses the political left to accomplish their objectives.
Yes, we all know that the political right has their problems, too; with all the imperialistic war mongering and such. That is all very well documented. But the dysfunction of the political left tends to manifest itself in domestic tyranny rather than international tyranny and is more difficult to see because it is not as well documented. As exemplified again here by Arrhenius' successful media forays, the political left has historically dominated media; the inadequacies of the political left are therefore not as well documented due to lack of self-introspection common in our society and not limited to the political left.

Reggie Bush after President Trump celebrates Clemson with fast food: 'Huge slap in the face'
Posted: Jan 15, 2019 / 08:05 PM CST / Updated: Jan 15, 2019 / 08:17 PM CST
(USA TODAY)- Former NFL running back and college star Reggie Bush called President Donald Trump's gesture of serving the national champion Clemson Tigers fast food during their White House visit on Monday "disrespectful on so many levels" and a "huge slap in the face."
Trump provided the Clemson players and staff a buffet that included Wendy's, Burger King and McDonald's during their championship celebration at the White House and the Tuesday morning tweeted that they were "great players and big eaters."
The Tigers beat Alabama last week for their second national title in three years.
Bush tweeted Tuesday morning: "Just when you think you've seen it all, @ClemsonFB you guys deserve better you are world champs and this is the honor you receive from our nations leader!? This is disrespectful on so many levels, just a huge slap in the face after that kind of performance! SMH!"
Just when you think you've seen it all, @ClemsonFB you guys deserve better you are world champs and this is the honor you receive from our nations leader!? This is disrespectful on so many levels, just a huge slap in the face after that kind of performance! SMH! pic.twitter.com/rEprhVZf6n— Reggie Bush (@ReggieBush) January 15, 2019
Reggie Bush and the 2003 national champion Trojans visited the White House during George W. Bush's presidency.
Bush won the 2005 Heisman Trophy as a standout running back for Southern California, but later forfeited the award due to allegations that he received improper benefits. Those allegations eventually led USC to be dealt a two-year-postseason ban by the NCAA and the program's national championship in 2004 being vacated.
In the midst of the longest partial government shutdown in U.S. history, Trump welcomed coach Dabo Swinney, quarterback Trevor Lawrence and 75 other Tigers players.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that Trump covered the cost of the food because "the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security" and "much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed."
Trump alluded to that Tuesday in a tweet.
Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamburgers etc. Within one hour, it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 15, 2019
U.S. envoy urges Kosovo, Serbia turn eyes on economy, jobs

PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy for talks between Balkan rivals Serbia and Kosovo was in Pristina on Wednesday in an effort to urge both countries to resume negotiations and reach a final reconciliation agreement.
Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, met Kosovo's President Hashim Thaci and said President Donald Trump "has been singularly focused on trying to solve this problem by not looking backward, by not having the same old political stalemate and arguments."

Q: Error in building boost:python code I've the following boost:python code(gona.cpp).
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void say_hello(const char* name) {
    cout << "Hello " <<  name << "!\n";
}

#include <boost/python/module.hpp>
#include <boost/python/def.hpp>
using namespace boost::python;

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello)
{
    def("say_hello", say_hello);
}
int main(){
    return 0;
}

I have boost 1.47(boost pro) installed in my system(Windows 7  32-bit).
I used Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 to build this and it has been built successfully. But I want to use this in a python code (as an import). I have the following piece of code (setup.py) to build this into a python module.
from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension

setup(name="PackageName",
    ext_modules=[
        Extension("hello", ["gona.cpp"],
        libraries = ["boost_python", "boost"])
    ])

"gona" is the file C++ file name. I used the following command to build this in the command line.
python setup.py build

After I do this, I get the following error.
>python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
building 'hello' extension
C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mdll -O -Wall -IC:\Python27\include -IC:\Python27\PC -c De
cision_Tree.cpp -o build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\gona.o
gona.cpp:9:35: fatal error: boost/python/module.hpp: No such file or di
rectory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

It seems the boost installation I have in my system works only on Visual studio(as it had been built successfully). I've run other boost programs without problems in Visual studio.
How do I build this as a python module, so that it can be imported in python code?. (Using command line or Visual studio)

A: Several things here:

*

*You can also build a Python module using VS2010 directly, just set the output path to foo.pyd instead of foo.dll.

*setup.py seems to use MinGW, maybe you can convince it to use the working VS2010 setup instead?

*You can use "-I" to inform GCC about include paths, see the GCC documentation. I'm not sure how to tell setup.py where it should look for include paths though, but you should be able to locate that documentation easily.

*It looks like setup.py is trying to compile as C code ("gcc.exe" instead of "g++.exe"), which could cause further problems.

*Your code has a main() function, which is not required in a DLL (binary Python modules are effectively DLLs).

From the offset of police Officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed thug Michael Brown, we can see that the state-controlled media is resurrecting the issue of racism. And, as usual, not too far behind are the modern-day, self-proclaimed civil rights leaders.
After listening to their divisive rhetoric (only using the old tactic of divide and conquer (Mark 3:25), I couldn't help but notice how stark of a contrast that these wannabe modern-day civil rights leaders are from the original creed of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s led by Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a molder of consensus to guarantee equal rights under the law for all men who were "endowed by their Creator," as the Declaration of Independence rightly states.
1) Meditate on teachings of Jesus daily.
2) Remember that the nonviolent movement seeks justice and reconciliation, not just victory.
3) Walk and talk in the manner of love/charity, for God is love.
4) Pray daily to be used by God.
5) Sacrifice personal needs. Greed has to go out the window.
6) Observe with both friend and foe the ordinary rules of courtesy.
7) Seek to perform regular service for others and for the world.
8) Refrain from the violence of fist, tongue or heart.
9) Strive to be in good spiritual and bodily health.
10) Follow the directions of the movement and of the captain of the demonstration.
1) Meditate on the media and anything but the teachings of Jesus.
2) Civil disobedience to just laws, through force, in hopes of an unjust victory.
4) Play the race card as you are enslaved through deception by a godless administration daily.
5) Sacrifice the needs of others. Gain is the goal.
6) Send threats to those with whom you disagree.
7) Seek to have it your way at all costs; lie if necessary.
8) Use fear and force.
9) Strive to take from others because you deserve what you take!
10) Follow the directions of an unconstitutional and unlawful administration.
When a friend of his, a black Harvard professor, was arrested in Cambridge, Mass., without examining the facts Obama said the police "acted stupidly." After Trayvon Martin was killed …, Obama injected race into the matter by saying if he had a son he'd look like Martin.
Al Sharpton was also revealed to be a provocateur and make-believe civil rights leader by Vadum.
A TV show host at MSNBC despite his inability to speak proper English or at times, to formulate coherent thoughts, Sharpton has largely managed to escape his past. Founder of the National Action Network, he helped to incite anti-Jewish riots in Crown Heights, New York in 1991. He uses the word "cracker" to refer to various white people, has ties to the criminal underworld, and participated in the infamous racially charged Tawana Brawley hoax and incited black anti-Semites against a Jewish business establishment in Harlem in 1995. He even tried to win the Democratic Party presidential nod in 2004.
His widespread acceptance as a legitimate spokesman for the black community by the rest of the media and the Obama administration has allowed Sharpton to supplant Jesse Jackson Sr. as America's foremost retail race hustler. He was publicly embraced by Obama Cabinet members, including Attorney General Eric Holder and HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, at his group's convention in Washington, D.C., last year.
Martin Luther King Jr. condemned the "black power" movement because he knew "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." His point was that men were not to be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. The Civil Rights Movement was about truth and justice, not lies and injustice.
Until the American people see these racists for what they are, nothing will change. We are ruled by law in this country, not by the lawless and the divisive. All nations are one blood (Acts 17:26), period.

After work last night, I started another bear.
I started another tan bear last night. It will be the same color as the bear on the right. You can see that I have the two legs done, and now I'm working on the rump.
I decided it was too much work last night to get out the Mint Frapuccino sweater or the Windsor cardigan and try to figure out where I was in either project. It was easier to just start another bear. And Grace Healthcare Services will be glad to have the additional bruin for one of its clients. So I make one more person happy.
Again, I'm using the Yet Another Bear pattern that Susan Dennis gave me permission to publish in the papers about a month ago. It's a very forgiving pattern. You can fudge a little and it still comes out ok.
I finished the legs and have started the rump. I had church last night, so I didn'thave time to do more than that, but I'm happy.
How are you doing on your bears and dolls? Don't forget to send them to me at Pam MacKenzie, The Courier News/Home News Tribune, 92 East Main St., Suite 202, Somerville, NJ 08876. If you prefer to deliver them yourself to Grace Healthcare Services, the address is Grace Healthcare Services, 105 Fieldcrest Ave. #402, Edison, NJ. If you are delivering your bears to Grace Healthcare, but you still want to participate in the contest to get a free book, email me at pmackenzie@mycentraljersey.com and let me know how many bears you deliver.
I can't wait to see what you're making!

Better late than never, here are my Notting Hill Carnival pics from Bank Holiday Monday. I went a couple of years ago with a group friends to see the ultimate street party extravaganza, so I was excited to attend the colourful & vibrant festival two years on to party on the streets of London once more. This year I went with my good friend Aimee and fellow Topshop girl to enjoy some fun in the sun. It was a fabulously fun and flamboyant day, spent dancing away to the upbeat sounds of Reggae, inhaling the sweet aroma of Carribean cuisine and sipping on Red Stripe Jamaican beer!
I think it's important to tailor your outfit to stay in keeping with the occassion - and Carnival is not one to be ignored! Go for brights or pattern with neon accents, toned down with touches of denim or leather and comfort is key when partying from dusk till dawn, so a pair of Converse would be your ideal choice (or wellies if your luck is unfortunate and it rains!)

Griffith Business School has partnered with Queensland Business Monthly (QBM) to create a new MBA scholarship that brings together two strong brands with a common focus on promoting business leadership skills in South-East Queensland.
The QBM Griffith MBA Responsible Leadership Scholarship, which is for students commencing in 2017, complements the suite of existing MBA scholarships offered by Griffith Business School (GBS), including the MBA Scholarship for Women, MBA Scholarship for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and MBA Scholarship for International Students.
APPLY NOW: QBM Griffith MBA Responsible Leadership Scholarship
Queensland Business Monthly is published each month by the Courier Mail and focuses on the latest business news across the retail, agriculture, tourism, resources and digital sectors in Queensland.
"This new scholarship is an exciting initiative that allows us to combine the QBM brand with the GBS mission statement of developing tomorrow's globally responsible leaders," said MBA Director Associate Professor Chris Fleming.
"The scholarship aims to attract high quality applicants from the South-East Queensland business community, many of whom may already be among the QBM readership."
FIND OUT MORE: Griffith MBA full scholarship worth $50,000
The new MBA scholarships will consist of a full scholarship, worth about $50,000, and a half scholarship, worth about $25,000. The scholarships are open to commencing students wishing to undertake the fully flexible MBA program.
Applications for the scholarship open on August 26 and close on September 23. Winners will be announced in the October edition of QBM, to be published on October 28, with a feature article on the winner.
"The selection process for the QBM Griffith MBA Responsible Leadership Scholarship will be very different to the typical process applied to other postgraduate scholarships," said Associate Professor Fleming.
"It will be a competition whereby short-listed applicants will participate in a master class featuring lectures presented by key academic staff on topics aligned with the MBA's core values of responsible leadership, sustainable business practices, and an Asia-Pacific focus.
"The master class has been designed to provide participants with the necessary content to assist them in writing a reflective essay. It will also provide an opportunity for short-listed applicants to network with like-minded business professionals.
"A panel of judges, including a Griffith MBA alumnus and key GBS and QBM staff, will then determine the finalists based on the essay submissions. Those selected will then have the opportunity to showcase their suitability for the scholarship via a video pitch."
Pro Vice Chancellor (Business) Professor David Grant (left) described the scholarships, which have been designed to enhance the business talent that is flourishing across the region, as a welcome addition to the GBS MBA scholarship program.
"We are delighted to be partnering with QBM in this exciting new initiative," said Professor Grant.
"The scholarships reflect the Business School's long-term strategy of providing talented students with the opportunity to develop the skills that current and future generations of business leaders will need if they are to meet the challenges facing Australian industry and the wider community.
"QBM uncovers remarkable stories of business leadership each and every month, and through the provision of these scholarships, we are pleased to be able to play our part in contributing to that narrative."
Natalie Gregg (right), editor of Queensland Business Monthly, described the QBM Griffith MBA Responsible Leadership Scholarship as a natural fit for the monthly publication which celebrates the movers and shakers and rising stars in Queensland's business sector.
"A significant number of our readers are senior corporates who have benefited from their MBA studies, whose careers have been accelerated to the next level after completing an MBA.
"Queensland Business Monthly is delighted to link up with Griffith Business School on this enterprising initiative that will undoubtedly enhance the quality and strength of the state's business sector going forward."

Back in the days when someone mentions window tinting the first that comes to mind is cars. Nowadays, window tinting for your home has become a cost effective way to add value and comfort to your house.
There are numerous benefits and advantages that one can get from installing these, and you too can experience them.
Window tints, also known as solar control window film, are a thin film that is made up of polyester base with coating that that is supposed to be scratch-resistant.
The film is then affixed to the interior side of your existing window or glass door with an adhesive.
One of the properties of window film tints are their ability to block the sun's rays and blocking unwanted heat from the sun.
Manufacturers use different additives in special, patented formulations to create desired characteristics such as tinting and extra layers of protection.
The end result is a heat blocking window film that keeps out both UV rays and unwanted heat.
No homeowner wants a looking eye in their homes, one way to prevent this is add privacy window film to your existing windows or doors.
Add privacy at a fraction of the cost when compared to excessive landscaping or the obstruction and cleaning of blinds or curtains.
Aside from the heat that can be felt without window tints, the harmful UV rays that can damage skin are also let into your homes freely. Homeowners would likely wear sunblock when they are going out of the house, but who would think of applying one when inside your house?
Installing sun protection window films can provide you with extra protection from these rays even better than sunblocks do. It is important to take note of the 90% to 99% efficiency of window tints against UV rays. Save your sunblock for outside.
If you are in it for the design and structure of your house, then decorative window films are a good way to add a decorative element to your home. Quality tinting can exude the appearance of expensive windows with much lesser cost.
Save yourself some money and still get your house looking good. The physical attributes and characteristics of films allow flexibility with the designs since it is can be easily attached and removed.
One of the most popular window film applications is the application of security window films to your existing windows or doors.
These films provide an added layer of protection and prevent window shattering.


Arthur Cohen is CEO and co-founder of LaPlaca Cohen, a strategic planning, marketing and communications firm serving the needs of cultural and creative organizations. He also oversees Culture Track, the largest ongoing study in the US tracking the shifting attitudes and behaviors of cultural audiences. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, the London School of Economics and Harvard Business School, and a lecturer at Stanford University, where he teaches a course entitled "The Changing Cultural Audience".
It's harder to think of an example where design and innovation don't co-exist. To innovate is to inherently challenge the existing design solution; to either nudge it or radically re-conceptualize it — or any point of tranformation in between. Any such change is a type of design or re-design, whether the focus is a process or a product.
My job is about encouraging or inspiring people - often aggregated in "audiences" - to engage in cultural or creative experiences. Design and innovation converge in developing compelling new ways to convey these experiences and appeal to an individual's desire for novelty, entertainment, socializing, enlightenment and more. Innovation comes into play through the necessity to craft communications and stories that are novel and intriguing in order to pique interest; this is impossible without thoughtful and effective design to insure the impact of such communications.
As a non-designer asked to opine in a forum that is primarily written and read by designers, I feel compelled to challenge the implicit bifurcation of this question - i.e., that there are successful, design-driven companies, and then there is everyone else, less-successful because they are less design-savvy. At what point does a company get to describe itself as "design driven," and what are the metrics behind such a designation?
Instead, I support a world in which design is not elevated and codified into some idealized "other," but rather integrated into everyday practice that is just good business. In my company, we have people on staff with the title of "Graphic Designer" and "Creative Director." but their contributions are greatest when they are not siloed or placed within a hierarchy, but rather fully integrated with those of other professionals with other, complementary skills. What they create together is, in my mind, "design" as much as it is "strategy," "innovation" or a host of other professional competencies. The "core values and best practices that support its success" are no different for design than they are for any of these other attributes: the experience and ability to evaluate context as well as content with candor and perspective; an openness to change that is balanced with a respect for what already exists and why; and the vision, skill and humility to apply individual talent within a collective and collaborative environment.
Following my comments above, it will surprise no one that I don't accept as a given that management and design come from two different worlds. I know of many designers - including some closely associated with Design Observer — who are excellent managers: thoughtful, organized, focused and nurturing of those that report to them. I also know of many in management roles who are exceptionally creative individuals whose creativity informs and enhances their management skills. These people are not the exceptions. Rather, they have been given - or have claimed - the opportunity to expand from their core skill set to become more "holistic" managers and/or designers.
I strongly believe that whether we are engaging a peer community via the AIGA or Harvard Business Review, we do our peers and colleagues a disservice by perpetuating differences and hierarchies between these two worlds. Design leaders should "collaborate with management executives to catalyze ideas and to mobilize teams" in exactly the same way that management executives should collaborate with design leaders: by focusing on shared goals and objectives; valuing and rewarding collaborative process and its result; and taking every opportunity to push again implicit or explicit hierarchies between and biases about the two.
What is the role of 'data' in design?
There are many ways that data and design intersect, but two in particular stand out to me as being particularly important at this moment.
The data also needed to be available online and interactively, so we created a companion microsite that enabled the user to download various versions of the study and zoom in to specific aspects of their choosing. This was designed to be simple, smart and visually appealing – regardless of one's level of expertise.
The second and perhaps more commonly encountered intersection of design and data occurs in a less felicitous interaction when designers are asked/told to design in a certain way because "that's what the data says." This can be seen, for instance, in web design when a client proclaims: "Our data tells us people like the reply button here," or "We know that this color works best for our customer." What they fail to recognize in presenting data as a dictum is that (a) the way they discovered these "facts" is through trial that resulted from a designer's experimentation, and (b) results such as these are not finite because there are always new design solutions to explore, and the "data" about previous performance is descriptive, not predictive – i.e., people can't judge what they have not yet experienced. The designer's role, therefor, is to understand the data, but never be limited or constrained by it. A skilled designer integrates and balances many sources of input in creating their design, among which "data" is important, but not absolute. Experience, insight, exploration and even courage each play a role – along with data – in the process of creating great design.
From Randy J. Hunt: What is the topic you find endlessly fascinating—that you could "nerd out" on—but that your professional colleagues in the cultural world would find surprising or even...repulsive? How has your interest in it influenced how you look at the world or approach your professional practice?
I love cars, and am endlessly fascinated with how the car as a mode of transportation is evolving - and worried that it will become extinct. I think my love of cars has enhanced my ability to look closely and follow changes in design and try to understand how they reflect, capture or anticipate broader societal changes.
Next week Arthur asks Margaret Gould Stewart: What can designers do to fight increasing levels of screen-time addiction, especially among younger generations?

744. The privy counselors, the chamberlains, and the governors, stood around the table; and at the command of the prince they folded their hands, and all together in a low tone gave thanks to the Lord; and then, at a nod from the prince, took their places on the cushioned seats at the table. And the prince said to the visitors, "Sit you down with me also; there are your seats." And they sat down. The courtiers before sent by the prince to wait upon them, stood behind them. The prince then said to them, "Take each one of you a plate from its place, and then a dish from the pyramid." They did so; and behold, there instantly appeared fresh plates and dishes in place of those taken away. Their cups were filled with wine from the fountain springing from the great pyramid; and they ate together.
[2] When they were moderately satisfied, the prince addressed the ten guests, saying, "I have heard that you were assembled on the earth that is beneath this heaven to disclose your thoughts respecting the joys of heaven and eternal happiness therefrom; and that you advanced different opinions, each according to the delights of his bodily senses. But what are the delights of the bodily senses apart from the delights of the soul? It is the soul that imparts delight to these. The delights of the soul are in themselves imperceptible beatitudes; but they become more and more perceptible as they descend into the thoughts of the mind, and from these into the sensations of the body. In the thoughts of the mind they are perceptible as joys, in the sensations of the body as delights, and in the body itself as pleasures. From all these together comes eternal happiness; while from the latter alone the happiness is not eternal but temporary, and comes to an end and passes away, and sometimes becomes unhappiness. You have now seen that all your joys are also joys of heaven, and more excellent than you could ever have conceived; and yet our minds are not interiorly affected by them. [3] There are three things that flow in as one from the Lord into our souls; these three as one, that is, this trine, are love, wisdom, and use; but love and wisdom alone have only an ideal existence, because they exist only in the affection and thought of the mind; while in use they have a real existence, because then they exist also in bodily act and operation, and where they exist really, there they have permanent existence. But as love and wisdom have their existence and permanence in use, it is use that affects us; and use is the faithful, sincere, and diligent discharge of the duties of one's employment.
"The love of use and the consequent pursuit of use prevents the mind from becoming dissipated, and from wandering about and drinking in all the cupidities that flow in with their allurements through the senses from the body and the world, and that scatter to the four winds the truths of religion and morality together with their goods. But the application of the mind to use holds and binds these together, and disposes the mind into a form receptive of wisdom from these truths, and at the same time expels to the circumference the illusions and mockeries both of falsities and vanities. But on these subjects you will hear more from the wise men of our society, whom I will send to you this afternoon."
So saying the prince arose, and with him his guests; he said grace, and then commanded the angelic guide of the strangers to conduct them back to their apartments, and to show them all the honors of courtesy; also to invite courteous and affable men to entertain them with conversation on the various joys of that society.

But this post isn't so much about getting rejected outright - it's more about potential red flags to watch for and minimize. These 4 points may not be enough individually to get your resume tossed, but they are things that may cause some concern for recruiters.
One of the biggest problems I see on resumes is when people only list the last position they held with a company, even though they didn't hold it the entire time they were employed there. One of the problems with that approach, besides the fact that it could be viewed as an outright lie, is that it might make your career path look unrealistic.
If it's true that you made that leap, make it clear that you were brought into the company at the DM level, so recruiters don't assume otherwise. Why? Because they WILL assume otherwise - it just doesn't happen that way very often.
What they will assume (and what is most likely true because so many people do it that way) is that you worked your way up to DM with your current company. Perhaps you started as an assistant store manager, or maybe a store manager, and at some point within the last 8 years you were promoted to district manager - maybe 7 years ago, maybe 3 weeks ago. Who knows? That's what they'll assume because they've interviewed so many people who list their employment history that way.
So make sure your career path makes sense to the reader and seems realistic. If it's not, explain why so they don't make assumptions that don't work in your favor.
We all know achievements are important on resumes, right? But not just any achievements - they should be prioritized based on what's most important (and the most important achievements should, of course, be there).
The #1 objective of virtually every retail manager, in the end, is to increase sales and profit. That's why most retailers are for-profit companies, with the exception of Goodwill, etc. - they want to make more money. That's why we hire, why we train, why we coach, why we build client books, why we minimize shrink, etc. The end goal is always to drive sales and profit.
So I'm always a bit surprised when I see a resume from someone who has been a store manager with the same company for 6 years and the #1 accomplishment they have listed is some spreadsheet that they created. Designing a new spreadsheet is a decent achievement, but it's not really an exciting one (although it'd be more exciting if it was adopted company-wide). At best, it's maybe a 5 or 6 on a scale of 1-10. It's a bit of a yawner.
The first achievement, ideally, or at least one of the top achievements, should be something about how successful you were at meeting your sales or profit goals (and there are many, many ways of presenting that, even if you haven't hit your targets).
If you do include achievements like that but they're buried further down, the recruiter may assume you don't understand the importance of it. If you don't include any achievements at all about sales or profit, the recruiter will assume you didn't perform very well.
Try your best to not let them make that assumption.
We've all seen resumes that are full of vague words such as several, extensive, multi-million, many, numerous, etc. that mean different things to different people. "Several" could be 4 or 50. "Multi-million" could be $2M or $80M. You get the picture.
It's okay to have some of those on your resume if needed, but if your resume is full of them and, overall, it's lacking specific numbers, the reader may be concerned. The reason resumes have so many numbers these days is because they're objective. They're concrete. $5M is $5M to me and it's $5M to you. 10 is the same for everyone - it's not 8, and it's not 3. It's 10.
Numbers give the recruiter tangible data to assess your experience and compare it to the opportunities they may have available. So if your resume doesn't include any specific numbers, it will make their job much more difficult, and in all likelihood, they'll simply move on.
Just to note, I'm not suggesting you divulge private and confidential information. If you feel that something is too confidential for your resume, by all means leave it off. But I still encourage you to be as specific as you can, whenever possible. It will help develop trust with the reader.
If you don't list, at a minimum, your city, state/province, and zip/postal code, it's possible that your resume won't even make it into the employer's database. You don't need to show a full street address if you're concerned about privacy, but I've been told that some recruiters can't add candidates who don't provide that minimal information (although not everyone will be the same).
But regardless of whether your resume can be added properly without it, leaving off your city and state/province makes it look like you're trying to hide something. Let's face it, employers want to know where you live, regardless of whether you want to tell them, so make it easy and include it. If you're between residences, about to move, or looking for work in a different city, explain that in your cover letter, but make sure to include your current city, state/province, and zip/postal code on your actual resume or the reader will wonder why.
Of course there could be many more "red flags" on your resume - this is simply an outline of some common ones. If you're a retail leader in the United States or Canada (ie. a district/regional manager, store manager, assistant store manager, or department manager), feel free to send me your resume and ask for a free assessment. I'll look it over and let you know what I think.

Гре́та Штерн (; ,  — , ) — немецкий и аргентинский фотограф. Работала в стиле сюрреализма.

Биография и творчество: годы в Германии
В 1923—1925 годах изучала искусство графики в Штутгарте. В 1925—1926 годах работала в рекламе (Вупперталь, Берлин). По совету Умбо в 1927 году обратилась к изучению фотографии в частной студии Вальтера Петерханса в Берлине. В 1929 году вместе с подругой, Эллен Ауэрбах, открыла студию рисунка и фотографии ringl+pit, в 1933 году подруги получили Международную премию в Брюсселе. Два семестра работала в Баухаусе. В 1933 году эмигрировала от нацизма в Великобританию. В 1935 году вышла замуж за аргентинского фотографа Орасио Копполу, с которым познакомилась в Баухаусе, в 1936 году уехала с ним и новорожденной дочерью в Буэнос-Айрес.

Аргентинский период жизни

В 1937 открыла вместе с мужем студию фотографии и рекламы, через год студия закрылась за отсутствием спроса на рекламу. В 1943 году состоялась первая персональная выставка работ Греты Штерн, в том же году супруги разошлись. В 1948 году Штерн приняла участие в проекте инвентаризации памятников Буэнос-Айреса, сделав более 1500 снимков аргентинской столицы середины XX в. В 1948—1952 по предложению социолога Джино Джермани — итальянца по происхождению, также бежавшего от фашизма, — стала работать для популярного женского журнала Idilio, иллюстрируя материалы раздела «Психоанализ вам поможет» и создавая картины снов, описания которых присылали в журнал читательницы. Так родилась серия её сюрреалистических, проникнутых иронией фотоколлажей Сны, куда вошли около 150 работ, принесших Штерн наибольшую известность. Кроме того, получили признание её портреты Брехта, Борхеса, Пабло Неруды и др.

В 1958 получила аргентинское гражданство. Заведовала отделом фотографии Национального художественного музея Аргентины (1956—1979), в 1959—1960 годах преподавала фотоискусство в университете. В 1975, впервые после эмиграции, участвовала в выставке в Берлине, в 1978 году — в Мюнхене. В 1981 году большая ретроспективная экспозиция работ Греты Штерн была представлена в Буэнос-Айресе.

После 1985 года из-за ухудшившегося зрения, больше не снимала.
