Govt Reform Statement
A school safety report will be published by the end of the year after work to fix problems has been inspected, the Minister of Government Reform said.
Lovitta Foggo confirmed the document, which was intended for official use, will be made available to the public.
She was speaking on Wednesday, after Diallo Rabain, the education minister, backtracked on a claim that the report had yet to be finished despite the completion of health and safety reviews nine months ago.
Ms Foggo said: "I wish to stress that by October 13, 2017, all public schools had been inspected.
"The initial high level preliminary report was received by my ministry at the end of the same month and following the logging and updating of the data, the report was transmitted to the Ministry of Works.
"I can also confirm that a series of meetings among technical officers ensued in the weeks and months following its receipt by the Ministry of Works."
Ms Foggo said "a great deal of time" has been spent by the safety and health co-ordinator to turn the findings into reports for individual schools that allow them to develop plans for maintenance and repairs.
She added, any high risk problems were "addressed ... on an urgent basis".
Ms Foggo said: "The public can rest assured that the safety and health of our students and teachers is paramount and this government is committed to maintaining a safe learning and working environment for our children and teachers.
"The Health and Safety Inspection Report for Public Schools, intended for internal use, will be released later this year following an audit of the corrective actions taken to address the findings."
In an update following the Progressive Labour Party's first year in government, Ms Foggo said her ministry has aimed to "strengthen" administrative infrastructure to deliver "key services more effectively and efficiently".
The work included a technology boost for the Bermuda Post Office to pave the way for a new online shopping system.
Mr Rabain said on Monday that a preliminary inspection report on schools safety was "still being compiled", but confirmed the following day it had been provided to the Ministry of Public Works on January 23.
Ms Foggo said she did not know why Mr Rabain appeared to be unaware that the preliminary report had been handed over to the education ministry.
She added: "I can't speak for the minister, but I can tell you that it was supplied, as it was supplied also to the Ministry of Works."
Ms Foggo said the "evolution of the Post Office" was a high priority and after a public consultation earlier this year, advancements in technology could allow island residents to have access to an international mailing address for e-commerce.
She added: "Armed with the feedback from the general public, as well as the retail division of the Chamber of Commerce and coupled with the realities of declining mail volumes and an island-wide footprint in terms of physical infrastructure, this government has set out on an ambitious course to expand the product offering of the Bermuda Post Office.
"We aim to centralise the delivery of government services.
"In preparation for the change, the Government has procured an IT postal operations solution that will enhance technological capacity and reduce manual processes."
Ms Foggo said an "applications analyst" was added to the team in February.
She added: "Implementation of this new system establishes the framework for the roll-out of the new online shopping product."
Ms Foggo said amendments to the Interpretation Act to lay the foundations for the Official Gazette to move from newsprint to online were also under way.

Jane Dyer of Easley is a pilot for FedEx. She first started flying for the Air Force in 1981. She is retiring in December, but wants to encourage more young women to consider being a pilot as a career choice. JOSH MORGAN/Staff

An Upstate female pilot will join her husband and others listed on the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Wall of Honor.
Jane Dyer of Easley will have her name added to the wall for banking 11,000 hours of flight time during her 37 years in aviation. Her husband, John Dyer, is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. His name was added to the Wall of Honor in 2010. He has completed 20,000 hours of flight.
The National Air and Space Museum's Wall of Honor is a permanent memorial at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, its website said. It recognizes those with a passion for flight. The Wright brothers, Amelia Earhart, Neil Armstrong, John Glenn, and Jim Lovell are among the icons of flight listed on the Wall of Honor.

Jane Dyer served more than seven years in the Air Force, one year with the now defunct Trans World Airlines, and 28 years with FedEx.
Dyer studied mechanical engineering and was in the Air Force ROTC at Clemson University. She was the first female commander for the ROTC program at Clemson and the first female from Clemson's ROTC program to go to pilot training.
She went to undergraduate pilot training at the Laughlin Air Force base in Del Rio, Texas. She was the only female in a class of 60 students.

During her career with FedEx, Dyer flew two Boeing aircraft, the B727 and the B777, and two Airbuses, the A300 and the A310. For Trans World Airlines, she flew the Lockheed L1011. In the Air Force, she flew the Air Force KC-135, T37, and T38. As a flight instructor, she flew the T37.
She told The Greenville News that she hopes to inspire young women to at least consider being a pilot and hopes parents would encourage it. She retired from FedEx in December as a captain.
The National Air and Space Museum has uncovered notes, figures, and other "graffiti" inside the historic spacecraft that took U.S. astronauts to the moon in 1969, and it plans to make digital images of this available online later this year. (Feb. 11) AP

I received this email from a coworker. It makes you stop and think, doesn't it?
With all the news coverage about sub-zero east coast weather and north Pacific ice storms, it's easy to forget that Southern California has its share of devastating weather also. Check out the damage caused by a wild west coast storm which recently passed through Los Angeles (photo attached.) It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take life for granted!!!

Teatro La Candelaria
La Candelaria was founded in 1966 by a group of independent artists and intellectuals who came from experimental theater and the broader Colombian cultural movement. Directed by Santiago García, La Candelaria is one of Colombian theater's most innovative agents, modernizing national drama while addressing popular audiences. By means of an ongoing exploration of national folklore, situations and characters, they have created some of Colombia's most compelling plays, some of them through the method of "creación colectiva" (collective creation), addressing the acute social and political problems of their society. At the same time, they fostered the creation of Corporación Colombiana del Teatro and have developed a number of theoretical works that reflect upon dramatic creation, its methods and languages. Still nowadays, La Candelaria is committed to repertoire, experimentation, and discussion as fundamental elements to artistic creation.

I am going to do my undergrad in Canada and I was wondering if anyone knows if US schools would take into account the 'rank' of the school. Like if I went to Toronto, which is well known, would vet schools there treat me any differently than if I went to say Guelph? I already know that I would have different requirements than in state applicants like a higher GPA, so I am stressed that if I do my undergrad in Toronto and get a lower GPA than I would in Guelph it'll decrease my chances of getting into a Vet School. Also, just in case anyone wonders why I want to go to the US for Vet School- I'm actually from the US but I moved to Ontario during high school and I want to stay here for undergrad plus I've already been accepted to Guelph and am waiting to hear back from Toronto.

Any help is appreciated.
Quick question for the upper years at UofT med: This may be dumb to ask but where do you spend the majority of your time class-wise, in other words - where would you recommend finding a place to live? A place that is near the main hospital of your academy or a place in between said hospital and the UofT campus etc etc?

IIM Africa hosts first chief data officer ambassador symposium in Nigeria
The Institute of Information Management (IIM) Africa recently hosted the first International Country Chief Data Officer (CDO) Ambassador Nigeria Symposium in Abuja in a bid to educate people on global data-related issues. The MIT Chief Data Officer and Information Quality Symposium (MIT CDOIQ), now in its 15th year, is one of the key events where attendees, governments and the academia normally share best practices, experiences and exchange cutting-edge ideas, contents and discussions.
According to Robert Lutton, MIT CDOIQ Symposium Co-Director, "The Country Chief Data Officers Ambassador Programme is created so that Ambassadors can be empowered in each Country to build, champion and be the voice of data to the C Suite and data Community. It was created by the three following founding organisations that share the goal of advancing the knowledge and accelerating the adoption of the role of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) in all industries in geographical countries. They are as follows, CDOIQ, the International Society of Chief Data Officers and the CDO Magazine."
Lutton said in establishing the Country CDO Ambassador programme, the purpose and mission clearly defined are enrichment of the global Community with the Country CDO Ambassador successes; development of a champion of the region who facilitates a bi-directional communication between the Country CDO Ambassador(s) and the community(ies); provision of a vehicle for promoting successes and education while mobilising efforts for the community.
Lutton added that the Global Country CDO Ambassadors Community is proud to recognise Ambassador (Dr) Oyedokun Oyewole as the Nigeria CDO Ambassador and commended the work he (Oyewole) is doing for Nigeria, Africa and the Data Community, most especially for establishing the first international CDO symposium.
Dr. Richard Wang, founder and executive director, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) CDOIQ Programme said part of MIT strategy includes pragmatic and rigorous research in promoting Data leadership Management and Toolkit for CDOs in practice.
In Wang's words, "In line with the Country CDO mandates (Champion, Connect, Mobilise and Educate), we are excited that the Country Chief Data Officer for Nigeria, Amb. (Dr) Oyedokun having successfully setup a local organising committee shortly after his appointment in August 2021 was able to successful champion the first International CDO Nigeria Symposium."

Boomburbs: The rapid rise of Toronto's northern suburbs

The northern suburbs of Toronto are in a period of great transformation.
Infrastructure development and new private investments are contributing to the growth of the communities of Vaughan and Markham, two urban cores of York Region to the north of Canada's biggest city.
These towns are in the middle of a suburban growth that is changing their environment towards a more urban and less rural landscape.
While Vaughan is building a Metropolitan Centre thanks to the opening of a new Toronto Transit Commission subway station, Markham has turned into a new venue for both private and public investment in the almost never-ending urban development of the Greater Toronto Area.
They're both what are known as boomburbs — suburban communities in the midst of tremendous growth that were rural areas not so long ago, and aren't the core cities in their metropolitan areas.
Vaughan Metropolitan Center TTC subway station under construction (2017) City of Vaughan
Vaughan and Markham are no longer merely suburbs of Toronto, but are becoming part of the Torontonian "edgeless city" due to the constant urban expansion.
A "growth plane" for the Greater Golden Horseshoe area, comprising the portion of southern Ontario that envelops the western end of Lake Ontario, was drawn up in 2017.
Here, Vaughan and Markham stand at the boundary of what's known as the Greenbelt area, as shown by a map created by Neptis Foundation, an independent foundation based in Toronto that conducts research and spatial analyses of Canada's urban regions.
At the same time, Vaughan and Markham are the main engines of the population increase in York Region, which, according to forecasts by Hemson Consulting (a policy and planning analysis company), is expected to grow from the current 1.1 million to 1.5 million by 2031.
In more detail, Neptis Foundation shows how the red line of designated urban expansion land sharply crosses both Vaughan and Markham, as the map below illustrates:
The Urban Fringe in GTA and Hamilton. Neptis Foundation
The "growth-machine theory" may be useful to understand the expansion of Vaughan and Markham. In their classic Urban Fortune (1987), urban planning experts Harvey Molotch and John Logan stated that the political and economic essence of any given locality is growth and a common interest in local initiatives of social and economic reforms, at least in the American context.
Given that Vaughan and Markham represent two satellite cities of Toronto, I argue that their current expansion represents a manifestation of the growth machine theory as suburbs are transformed into cityscapes where pro-growth planning and public-private investments play a fundamental role.
The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre
In November 2015, the City of Vaughan approved a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) to encourage the development of the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.
Two years later, the opening of the TTC Line 1 subway extension represents the first step towards the revitalized Vaughan downtown, as well as a new gateway to downtown Toronto. Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, where the subway station is located, will be a new inter-modal public transit system, able to connect the overlapped transport networks of Toronto, the GTA and York Region.
But mostly, it will be the venue of new prestige offices (KPMG is going to have new headquarters there), hotels and retail opportunities, as this video by the City of Vaughan illustrates:
It's a modern town within the town, located at the southwestern edge of the city. The forecast for this massive project is illustrated in the seductive video above that imagines a dreamy future for Vaughan, the fastest-growing municipality in all of Canada between 1996 and 2006, achieving a population growth rate of 80.2 per cent, according to Statistics Canada.
This growth looks unstoppable as the construction of the Metropolitan Centre will automatically attract private investment and, basically, more people and more money.
Municipal forecasts predict that by 2031, the Metropolitan Centre alone will be home to 11,500 employees and 25,000 residents.
But what will be the consequences of this new enclave of Vaughan? Will the city experience gaps between economic classes due to the growth mismatch between this brand new area and some of its outskirts, including the Italian ethno-burb of Woodbridge? Will the cost of living increase in the entire community of Vaughan?
Some of these questions are also key issues in Markham's development.
'Community-building' in Markham
My Facebook timeline, according to both my interests and "likes," is constantly displaying a Toronto Star ad. When I decided to click it, I was a little surprised: The link sent me to the interactive page Creating a Community, a fancy website sponsored by BILD (the Building Industry and Land Development Association) that provides detailed information about the development of Markham, framed under the keyword "community."
Markham's population grew from 208,615 inhabitants in 2001 to 328,966 in 2016, and it's now statistically the most diverse community in Canada, according to urban planning experts Roger Keil and Jean-Paul Addie. Markham was a rural area until 25 years ago, and has rapidly morphed into a new city.
In a way, what's known as New Urbanism is changing Markham's landscape via real estate developments and allegedly participatory urban planning called "creating a community" by Markham officials.
On the Creating a Community website, the meteoric growth of Markham is summarized in a timeline in which the partnerships among institutions, the private sector and citizens are seen as successful drivers of the community-building process. Infrastructure development and brand new high-rise buildings seem to represent the main efforts to improve Markham's status within York Region, according to this Toronto Star video:
However, attracting higher economic classes than those who have historically populated the town seems the main reason behind the emphasis on supposed community-building, albeit some developers pointed out the aim of "keeping people in Markham." A Facebook comment in response to the ad by the Toronto Star reveals a certain unhappiness felt by Markham's current residents in the face of so much dramatic change:
The development of Markham as seen by a citizen. facebook.com
This comment shows how tricky "community-building" can be. What input do longtime residents truly have when private corporations and developers are pushing a pro-growth agenda to turn a suburb into a city?
Markham's growth could also result in an increase in cost-of-living similar to Toronto's over the last few decades. In the light of the aforementioned growth-machine theory, are suburbs being transformed into new places of potential wealth despite their historically middle-class population? If so, what does community-building really have to do with anything?
As argued by Jamie Peck, professor from University of British Columbia, typical city politics, along with the push for economic competitiveness, have also now arrived in the suburbs. As Vaughan and Markham become in-between cities, the demarcation between rural and urban, or rather between centre and periphery, looks thinner. The expansion of Toronto's urban territories has arrived.
Nevertheless, the consequences for everyday living spaces — and the people who have long called these suburbs home — remain unknown. And they're seemingly not on anyone's priority list.

Kudos to the WGBY education links with educators. Bess Kapetanis, the professional education coordinator for WGBY presented to my graduate students at AIC on June 21. She gave insightful, useful and professional insight to the effective programs offered to educators, parents and students.
I am saddened to no longer be able to access the video lending library. I had ordered several videos about a month ago and they have not arrived. I hope this is temporary as this is a great resource for teachers and home educators.
Over the last couple weeks, there was a glitch in the video lending library website that made it necessary for us to temporarily stop processing orders, as we were unable to see who had submitted the request.
We would be happy to get you the materials you need. Our Video Lending Librarian, Bernie Michaels, is available to help and distribute any videos that people need. You can email him at bmichaels@wgby.org. I'll also ask him to follow up with you directly.

What to do if someone is in cardiac arrest
By Jen Christensen, CNN
CNNJanuary 4, 2023
If you suspect that someone has gone into cardiac arrest, there are some simple steps you can take right away that could mean the difference between life and death.
About 70% to 90% of people who go into cardiac arrest in the US die before they get to a hospital because the people around them don't always know how to help.
What cardiac arrest looks like
Cardiac arrest is when a person's heart abruptly stops beating.
"The most common rhythm that you'll see is something called ventricular fibrillation, which is basically like the heart is like a bag of worms. It's beating chaotically, and it's no longer able to effectively pump," said Dr. Christine Albert, director of the Cardiology Department at the Smidt Heart Institute in Los Angeles.
"The person collapses because the brain is no longer working, and there's just a couple of minutes that you have to try to get that rhythm back to a normal rhythm."
Warning signs can include shortness of breath, a pounding heart, weakness and chest discomfort. But more often than not, cardiac arrest happens without warning.
Someone who's in cardiac arrest will not have a pulse and won't respond to sound or touch. They'll either stop breathing or make gasping-like sounds, which aren't true breathing but a reflex that happens when the brain isn't getting enough oxygen.
What causes cardiac arrest
Cardiac arrest can be caused by irregular heart rhythms called arrhythmias. Heart failure can cause it, as can thickening of the heart muscle called cardiomyopathy.
Cardiac arrest can follow a heart attack, which is when a blockage keeps the heart from getting enough blood. The muscle starts to die, but unlike with cardiac arrest, it will continue to pump.
It might also happen because of electrocution, drowning, choking, respiratory distress or trauma. A hard strike to the chest, as for a baseball player, could knock the heart out of rhythm.
What to do first: Call 911, use an AED
If you see someone with symptoms of cardiac arrest, call 911 immediately. You want to get professional help there as quickly as possible. When the heart can't pump blood to the brain and the lungs, the person may become brain-damaged or die within minutes.
If someone else is around, divide the duties. One person should call 911 while the other looks for an automated external defibrillator, or AED.
Defibrillators are often available in public places like airports.
Andrulik/Adobe Stock
These lightweight devices can jolt a person's heart back into regular rhythm. They're often found in public places like airports, offices and schools. An AED may look daunting, but it's designed for use by anyone, even untrained bystanders.
When you press the power button, the device will give you step-by-step voice instructions on where to put the electrode pads on the person's chest.
Once the pads are in place, the device measures the person's heart rhythm. It won't deliver a shock if the person doesn't need one. But if they do, the AED will tell you to stand back and push a button to deliver the shock.
Start CPR
After using the AED – or right away, if you don't have access to one – start chest compressions.
Put your hands in the center of the person's chest and press hard at 100 to 120 beats per minute. It may help to hum a song with this tempo like "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees, Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling" or Lady Gaga's "Just Dance."
"You are literally acting like an external heart," said Dr. Comilla Sasson, a practicing emergency medicine physician and vice president for science and innovation for emergency cardiovascular care with the American Heart Association.
It can get tiring, she said, so if someone else is nearby, have them take over when you need a break. If they don't know CPR, have them watch you first. "That's what we do in the emergency room," Sasson said.
Locking your elbows gives you more leverage to push. With an adult, you'd typically use both hands for the chest compressions. But if you're helping a baby, use one hand.
It may help to hum a tune to keep the right tempo for chest compressions.
athima tongloom/Moment RF/Getty Images
"Some people will ask me, 'what if I do chest compressions and break a rib and hurt them?' I tell them that this person is literally dead, and if they are fortunate to wake up because you did chest compressions, they're going to be happy that you helped save their life. There's a small number of people that get a broken rib," Sasson said.
How to get training
Many organizations offer CPR and AED training.
The American Heart Association and the Red Cross offer in-person courses, as do many local organizations.
The Heart Association and the Red Cross also offer hands-on training sessions with instructors that are all online.
Sasson says it's important that parents of young athletes have a conversation with the child's coach to make sure they have a cardiac response plan in place that includes CPR and an AED. If someone has an incident at school, on the field or during an extracurricular activity, everyone will know what to do.
Families should also make sure they have a plan at home just in case.
"Who's going to call 911? Who's going to start chest compressions? Who's going to open the door when the ambulance arrives? Just talking about it helps. I think of this like a tornado drill," Sasson said. "Hopefully, you'll never need to know what to do, but if that situation happens, you want to have a plan in place about what you're going to do to help keep your loved one alive."

He virtually ignored the role of women, African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, and Asians in shaping the human geography of the western United States.
The Frontier was always the site of heroism, triumph, and progress. He downplayed the evidence of greed, exploitation, and failure in the settling of the West.
Left out much of the story of American development. The frontier experience described was in many respects a self-serving myth involving only Christian white men and devoid of towns and cities, which in fact grew along with the frontier, not after it had been tamed.
He argued that more than slavery or any other single factor, "the existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward, explain American development."
Frederick Jackson Turner
Spread American values and investments
Claims of racial superiority reinforced the new imperialist spirit.
Many Americans and Europeans readily assumed that some races were dominant (Anglo-Saxons) and some inferior (Indians, Africans).
Such racist notions were given "scientific" authority by researchers at universities throughout Europe and America.
Prominent Americans used the arguments of Social Darwinism to justify economic exploitation and territorial conquest abroad and racial segregation at home.
By the 1880s, the British, French, Belgians, Italians, Dutch, Spanish, and Germans had conquered most of Africa and Asia.
Often competing with one another for territories, they had established colonial governments to rule over the native populations and exploited the colonies economically.
New Imperialism
On the night of February 15, the Maine mysteriously exploded.
Of the 350 sailors on board, 260 died.
Years later, the sinking was ruled an accident resulting from a coal explosion, but in 1898 those eager for war with Spain saw no need to delay judgment.

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone. Bell patented his device and started a company, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T), to begin manufacturing telephones.
Typewriters, for example, transformed the oper- ations of business offices. Because women showed greater dexterity in their fingers, business owners hired them to operate typewriters, in part because they could be paid much less than men.
Likewise, the introduction of sewing machines for the mass production of clothing and linens opened new doors to women—

Edison created or perfected the storage battery, Dictaphone, mimeograph copier, electric motor, and motion picture camera and projector.

George Westinghouse, inventor of the railway air brake, developed the first alternating-current electric system in 1886, and set up the Westinghouse Electric Company to manufacture the equipment.
More than any other industry, the railroads symbolized the impact of innovative technologies on industrial development and the maturation of a truly national economy.
Urban Political Machines
Supreme Court declared, No state could regulate the rates charged by railroads engaged in interstate traffic.
President Cleveland believed that railroads were charging unfairly high freight rates. Because most railroads crossed state lines, Cleveland urged Congress to close the loophole.
Congress followed through, and in 1887, Cleveland signed an act creating the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), the 1st Federal Regulatory Agency.
The law empowered the ICC's 5 members to ensure that railroad freight rates were "reasonable and just."
Wabash, St. Louis, & Pacific Railroad Company v. Illinois
In 1907, Congress appointed the bipartisan Dillingham Commission to examine the changes in immigration patterns.
The Commission concluded that the "new" immigrants were far less intelligent than the old, approximately 1/3 of all those over 14 years of age when admitted being illiterate.
Racially, they are for the most part essentially unlike the British, German and other peoples who came during the prior period to 1880,
Generally speaking they are actuated in coming by different ideals, for the old immigration came to be a part of the country, while the new in a large measure, comes with the intention of profiting, in a pecuniary way, by the superior advantages of the new world and then returning to the old country.
When new immigrants moved into an area, the previous residents often moved out, taking with them whatever social prestige and political influence they had achieved.
The so-called "old immigrants" who came before 1880 were mainly Protestants and Roman Catholics from northern and western Europe.
This pattern began to change, however, as the proportion of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, especially Russia, Poland, Greece, and Italy, rose sharply.
After 1890, these "new immigrants" made up a majority of the newcomers, and by the 1st decade of the new century, they formed 70%..
Their languages and cultural backgrounds were markedly different from those of most old immigrants
Foreign Immigration in 1880s
a new retailer had come to dominate the mail-order industry
Founded by 2 Midwestern entrepreneurs, Richard Sears and Alvah Roebuck.
Catalog in 1897 was 786 pages long.
It featured groceries, drugs, tools, furniture, household products, musical instruments, farm implements, shoes, clothes, books, and sporting goods.
The company's ability to buy goods in high volume from wholesalers enabled it to sell items at prices below those offered in rural general stores.
Headquartered in Chicago, had become one of the largest businesses in the nation.
The catalog helped create a national market and transformed the lives of millions of people.
With the advent of free rural mail delivery in 1898 and the widespread distribution of the catalogs, families on farms and in small towns and villages could purchase by mail the products that heretofore were either prohibitively expensive or available only to city dwellers.
By the turn of the century, 6 million catalogs were being distributed each year, and the catalog had become the most widely read book in the nation after the Bible.
Sears, Roebuck and Company
Although wage levels rose overall during the Gilded Age, there was a great disparity in pay for skilled and unskilled workers.
During the recessions and depressions that occurred about every 6 years, unskilled workers were the first to be laid off or to have their wages slashed.
In addition, working conditions were difficult and often dangerous for those at the bottom of the occupational scale.
The average workweek was 59 hours, or nearly 6 10-hour days.
American industry had the highest rate of workplace accidents and deaths in the world, and there were virtually no safety regulations or government inspections.
Few machines had safety devices; few factories or mills had fire escapes.
Respiratory diseases were common in mines and unventilated buildings, especially textile mills.
Between 1888 and 1894, there were 16,000 railroad workers killed and 170,000 maimed in on-the-job accidents.
The United States was also the only industrial nation with no insurance program to cover medical expenses for on-the-job injuries.
Social Costs of Industrialization
Wanted to dominate Big Business
Post–Civil War business baron, stood out for innovations in organization
Standard Oil Company 1870 of Ohio, oil could be refined into kerosene, which was widely used for lighting, heating, and cooking, the economic importance of the oil rush soon outstripped that of the California gold rush ten years earlier.
Wanted to eliminate his competitors and take control of the entire industry, in large part because he believed his competitors were inefficient and distracting.
Pursued a strategy that came to be called Horizontal Integration, a dominant corporation buys or forces out most of its competitors.
His goal was a Monopoly, a business so large that it effectively controls an entire industry.
Standard Oil eventually owned everything it needed to produce, refine, and deliver oil—from wells to the finished product.
The company had its own pipelines, built factories to make its own wagons and storage barrels, did its own hauling, owned its own storage tanks and tanker ships.
In economic terms, this business strategy is called Vertical Integration.
During the 1870s, Standard Oil bought so many of its competitors that it developed a virtual monopoly over the industry.
Many state legislatures responded by outlawing the practice of one corporation owning stock in competing ones.
He tried to get around such laws by organizing the Standard Oil Trust. (trust gives a person or corporation (the "trustee") the legal power to manage another person's money or another company.
The Standard Oil Trust was Rockefeller's attempt to hide his virtual monopoly over the American oil industry.
In 1890, Congress responded by passing the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. It declared that corporate efforts to monopolize industries and thereby "restrain" competition were illegal.
Furious he then developed another way to maintain control of his numerous companies: a holding company, which is a huge corporation that controls other companies by "holding" most or all of their stock certificates.
Convinced that ending competition among companies was a good thing for the nation.
Once a corporation is registered ("chartered" or "incorporated") with a state government, it can raise money to operate ("capital") by selling shares of stock—representing partial ownership of the company—to people not otherwise involved with it.
Railroads became the first industry to contract with "investment banks" to raise capital by selling shares of stock to investors around the world.
"Lobbying", Most of the corporate titans developed cozy relationships with local, state, and federal officials, a process of buying influence.
Tariffs—federal government had imposed tariffs—taxes on imported goods—to raise revenue and to benefit American manufacturers by penalizing their foreign competitors.
Congress enacted the Morrill Tariff, which doubled tax rates on 100s of imported items as a means of raising money for the war and rewarding the businesses that supported the Republican party.
Congress passed the Legal Tender Act of 1862, authorized the federal government to issue paper money ("greenbacks") to help pay for the war.
National Banking Act (1863), created national banks authorized to issue greenbacks, which discouraged state banks from continuing to issue their own paper money.
Homestead Act of 1862, provided free 160-acre (or even larger) homesteads to settlers in the West. By encouraging western settlement, the Homestead Act created new markets for goods and services and spurred railroad construction to connect frontier communities with major cities.
Fed. Govt. Contributes to Expansion of Business
Morrill Land Grant Act transferred to each state 30K acres of federal land for each member of Congress the state had. The sale of those lands provided funds for states to create colleges of "agriculture and mechanic arts," such as Iowa State University and Kansas State University.
During the early 1870s, violence erupted in the eastern Pennsylvania coalfields, when a secret Irish American group took economic justice into their own hands.
Took their name from an Irish patriot who had led the resistance against the British.
Outraged by dangerous working conditions in the mines and the owners' brutal efforts to suppress union activity, they used intimidation, beatings, and killings to avenge the wrongs done to Irish workers.
Molly Maguires
Leaders of the craft unions feared that joining with unskilled laborers would mean a loss of their identity and bargaining power.
It was a federation of many separate national unions, each of which was largely free to act on its own in dealing with business owners.
Samuel Gompers served as president of the AFL from its founding until his death,
American Federation of Labor
Disagreed with Booker T. Washington's "accommodationist" strategy
Called Washington's celebrated 1895 speech "the Atlanta Compromise" and said that he would not "surrender the leadership of this race to cowards."
Argued Washington, accepted the alleged inferiority of the Negro" so blacks could "concentrate all their energies on industrial education, the accumulation of wealth, and the conciliation of the South."
Stressed that African American leaders should adopt a strategy of "ceaseless agitation" directed at ensuring the right to vote and winning civil equality.
The education of blacks, should not be merely vocational but comparable to that enjoyed by the white elite.
Black education should help develop bold leaders willing to challenge Jim Crow segregation and discrimination.
Founder of the Tuskegee Institute, a historically black vocational training school.
He learned that he needed to be like a fox rather than a lion if he hoped to maintain the support of the white community.
Recurring message to black students focused on the importance of gaining "practical knowledge."
In part to please his white donors, he argued that African Americans should not focus on fighting racial segregation.
They should instead work hard and remain silent; their priority should be self-improvement rather than social change.
Fighting for "social equality" and directly challenging white rule would be a huge mistake ("the extremest folly").
African Americans first needed to become self-sufficient economically. Civil rights would have to wait.
Elevated government-sanctioned bigotry to an official way of life in the South.
Southern blacks were being shoved out of the political arena, they were also being segregated socially.
Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). case legitimized the widespread practice of racially "separate but equal" facilities in virtually every area of southern life.
Jim Crow" laws. Expression meaning "Negro." Signs reading "white only" or "colored only" above restrooms and water fountains emerged as hallmarks of the Jim Crow system.
Lynchings usually involved a black man (or men) accused of a crime, often rape. White mobs would seize, torture, and kill the accused, always in ghastly ways.
"Declaration of White Independence" that stripped blacks of their jobs and voting rights. Desperate black residents appealed for help to the governor as well as President William McKinley, but received none.
Religious life provided great comfort to people worn down by the daily hardships and abuses associated with segregation.
Results of Racial Segregation
Southern farmers, white and black, who participated in the Crop-Lien System
Many rural areas adopted a barter economy in which a "crossroads" or "furnishing" merchant would provide food, clothing, seed, fertilizer, and other items to poor farmers "on credit" in exchange for a share (or "lien") of their crops when harvested.
Sharecroppers, mostly blacks who had nothing to offer but their labor, worked an owner's land in return for shelter, seed, fertilizer, mules, supplies, food—and a share of the crop, generally about half.
Share tenants, mostly white farmers who were barely better off, might have their own mule or horse, a plow and tools, and a line of credit with the country store, but they still needed to rent land to farm.
Those who worked the farms developed an intense suspicion of their landlords, who often swindled workers by not giving them their fair share of the crops.
Over time, the high % charged on the credit offered by the local store or landowner, coupled with sagging prices for cotton and other crops, created a hopeless cycle of debt among small farmers, sharecroppers, and share tenants.
Tenantry & Sharecropping
Expansion of the region's textile industry, which produced thread and cotton bedding and clothing.
Chief Accomplishment of New South?
The region's predominantly agricultural economy would be diversified by an expanded industrial sector.
The Confederacy, they concluded, had lost the war because it had relied too much upon King Cotton—and slavery.
New South's Creed
America's first investigative journalists
Their aggressive reporting played a crucial role in educating the upper and middle classes about political and corporate wrongdoing and revealing "how the other half lives"—
By uncovering political corruption and writing about social ills in newspapers and popular monthly magazines such as McClure's, Munsey's, and Cosmopolitan, the muckrakers changed the face of journalism and gave it a new political role.
Investigated corporate monopolies and crooked political machines while revealing the miserable conditions in which poor Americans lived and worked.
Journalists had revealed all sorts of unsanitary and dangerous activities in the preparation of food and drug products by many companies.
The Jungle (1906), which told the story of a Lithuanian immigrant working in a filthy Chicago meatpacking plant:
It declared that corporate efforts to monopolize industries and thereby "restrain" competition were illegal. But the bill's language was so vague that it proved to be virtually toothless.
Usher in a "mental revolution" in business management that would improve productivity and profits, raise pay for the most efficient workers, and reduce the likelihood of worker strikes.
Many workers, resented such innovations, seeing them as just a tool to make people work faster.
Yet his approach to industrial management became one of the most important contributions to capitalist economies in the 20th century and brought concrete improvements in productivity.
Many cities set up "efficiency bureaus" to identify government waste and apply more cost-effective "best practices."

How Our DevOps Teams Transforms BigData

A raíz del rápido crecimiento de datos que existe hoy en día en las instituciones
académicas surge este proyecto, el cual, parte de la implementación de
servicios de Big Data en la Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de las Villas.
El objetivo principal de este trabajo es compartir la metodología de
desarrollo utilizada en el entorno de instalación, gestión y administración
de la infraestructura de Big Data bajo la filosofía DevOps.

En este trabajo se presenta las siguientes herramientas:
- API Blueprint, un poderoso lenguaje de descripción de API de alto nivel para APIs web.
- Hortonworks Data Plataform (HDP), una infraestructura de código abierto de Apache ™ Hadoop®
basada en una arquitectura centralizada (YARN).
- HDP satisface las necesidades completas de los datos en reposo, potencia las aplicaciones
de clientes en tiempo real y ofrece análisis de datos grandes y robustos que
aceleran la toma de decisiones y la innovación. Apache Ambari, una plataforma de código
abierto para proveer, administrar y monitorear frameworks de computación de clústeres basados en Hadoop.

Con el uso de estas herramientas se automatiza la instalación de HDP en un
cluster multinodo usando Ambari Blueprints. Los resultados que se obtienes
de este proyecto se enfocan en premisas tales como: la comunicación, colaboración,
integración continua, garantía de calidad y entrega con despliegue automatizado.
Las cuales rompen con complejas barreras que existen entre diferentes roles de
un mismo equipo de trabajo.

10 years of devopsdays

by Kris Buytaert - 10 May, 2019

It’s hard to believe but it is almost 10 years ago since #devopsdays happened for the first time in Gent. Back then there were almost 70 of us talking about topics that were of interest to both Operations and Development, we were exchanging our ideas and experiences `on how we were improving the quality of software delivery.
Our ideas got started on the crossroads of Open Source, Agile and early Cloud Adoption.

GTNS photo by Andy Krutsinger Spencer Sotelo hands off to Washington teammate Luke Turner in the 4x100 meter relay Thursday at Mt. Pleasant.
MT. PLEASANT - Nobody remembers how many points are scored at a meet in April, but Washington High School took second in the large school class Thursday at the Denny White Relays.
Ethan Hunt won the 400-meter hurdles in 56.76 seconds. Cade Henigan, Jacob Miller, Mitchell Driscoll and Hunt won the 800-meter sprint medley in 1 minute, 37.98 seconds. Driscoll was second in the 400 in 50.84 and fourth in the 200 at 24.05.
The shuttle hurdle was second in 1:03.84 with Lincoln Kleese, Ben Sciefer, Spencer Sotelo and Hennigan. Sotelo, Miller, Hunt and Trevor Quigley were second in the 4x2 in 1:37.96.
"That was the shuttle's best time this year because Hennigan had a great anchor leg," Roth said.
Sotelo was second in the long jump with a distance of 20 feet, 6 inches.
"He is getting over an injury so that was great to see," Roth said.
Justin Simmering was second in the 800 with a time of 2:06.64. Hennigan was third in the 110 hurdles in 16.28 and Kleese was sixth in 17.22. Sam Hall was fifth in the shot with a put of 40-10. Evan Horak was fifth in the 1600 with a time of 4:58.09 and sixth in the 3200 in 10:48.51. Adam Kael was sixth in the discus at 128-1.
WACO's Colton Horak won the 110 hurdles in 16.78.
WACO's shuttle hurdle was second with Drew Kissell, Elijah McGohan, Nik Coble and Horak in 1:09.93.


A PHOTO of Jeremy Corbyn posing next to a convicted terrorist has emerged as the Labour leader faces questions over a historic trip to Tunisia.
He is standing close to a former Palestinian militant, Fatima Bernawi, who was given a life sentence for trying to blow up an Israeli cinema.
The attempted terror attack in 1967 was claimed to have been successful by Bernawi before she died in 2016, as it "generated fear".
Bernawi was protesting a film celebrating the Six-Day War between Israel and Palestine.
But the attempt to blow up the cinema was foiled after a US tourist told an usher two women had left their handbag – which contained the bomb – and the cinema evacuated.
Bernawi, 28 at the time, was sentenced to life but released after 10 years in a prisoner swap.
In the same group photo is the exiled leader of a banned Palestinian group that murdered a British rabbi.
This picture was taken in October 2014 in Tunis, after Mr Corbyn was pictured holding a wreath and standing beside graves of Palestinians linked to the 1972 Munich Massacre and the Black September Terror group.
In that memorial service the Labour leader was pictured next to Maher al-Taher, leader-in-exile of proscribed Palestinian terror organisation the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, at the ceremony in Tunis in October 2014.
In November of that year two of their men killed four rabbis in a Synagogue during morning prayers in Jerusalem.
Mr Corbyn and Mr al-Taher were both invited by the official Palestinian Authority delegation to the cemetery in the Tunisian capital.
After attending a "peace conference" in a five-star hotel, they laid wreaths to the men buried there – including those who masterminded the 1972 Olympics massacre.
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said: "Jeremy attended the conference convened by the president of Tunisia to support Palestinian rights and to bring together Palestinian factions to unite for a peaceful and just settlement of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism referred the case to the Parliamentary watchdog – meaning an inquiry into who paid for Mr Corbyn's trip could be launched.


Welcome to Leadership Academy, Session 6! As we continue on this journey of our leadership development and self-discovery around growing ourselves and others. I'm excited about the things that we'll be diving into in this session. The theme will be looking at REALITY through a positive and honest lens.
1. What is involved in building a strong inner circle and building a culture with those people.
2. We'll be discussing what is keeping us from getting what we want.
3. How to build other people up.
4. We'll discuss what we can control in our lives and how it actually shows up in our world.
Looking forward to having a powerful session and hope you can make it.


by Assyrian Democratic Organization (ADO-World). December 14, 2010.
MOSUL (Nineveh) Iraq — On Tuesday, December 14, 2010, an unknown group of terrorists broke into the home of a Christian family in the Darkazliya district of Mosul, and abducted the daughter Robina Tareq Petros Alqas Touma. The family is originally from Baghdeda. Robina is 21 years-old and a student in the Technical Institute of Mosul. She is engaged and the wedding was planned after the Christmas holidays.
According to sources, Robina was taken by the terrorist group and handed to another terrorist group. The security forces have captured the first group who abducted Robina and is now attempting to find and capture the second group, who is holding her.


Thank you for your lovely feedback Ruth. Just remember though to produce the berries, holly require a female and a male. So the Golden King is your female and the Silver Queen is your male. I hope this is of some help and the best of luck with it. Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.
