EPA Permit Allows Sauget Incinerator To Emit Heavy Metals Into The Air, Activists Say
By Joseph Bustos | Belleville News Democrat • Jun 19, 2019
The Environmental Protection Agency is allowing Veolia North America-Trade Waste Incineration, a facility in Sauget that runs a hazardous waste incinerator, to relax heavy-metal emissions monitoring, local environmentalists say.
A new permit issued by the EPA, which goes into effect on July 18, requires Veolia to install and operate mercury emissions controls on two incinerators that previously did not have mercury controls. The facility accepts waste such as propellants and explosives, reactive metals and poisonous materials for disposal, according to the company's website.
However, environmental groups say under the new permit, Veolia will be able to emit a harmful level of heavy metals into the air.
St. Louis Public Radio reported last year, during the public comment period, that the latest EPA permit for Veolia removed the requirement for multi-metals monitoring devices.

"Like the 2017 permit, the final 2019 permit continues to include significant improvements to Veolia's feedstream analysis procedures," the EPA said on its website.
Veolia said it worked with the EPA to ensure it is in compliance with regulations set under the Clean Air Act.
"We have also improved the Sauget facility with new capabilities to ensure it will continue to consistently operate in compliance with our permit limits in the future. We are committed to safety and have not had any air pollution violations in the past," Carrie K. Griffiths, vice president of communications for Veolia North America said in an emailed statement.
The federal agency required the facility to install "activated carbon injections systems," devices that would reduce mercury emissions, the station reported. The devices don't monitor or reduce other kinds of metals, which led to objections from residents and environmental activists, KWMU reported.
Concerned activists have said it wouldn't be enough to protect public health.
The final permit issued is identical to the draft permit that was released for public comment in July 2018, according to the EPA's website.
The United Congregations of Metro-East, a group that organized protests against Veolia, said the permit, which was ultimately approved, allows Veolia to contribute to poor air pollution which causes asthma, lung cancer, respiratory diseases and cardiovascular disease.
UCM, along with southern Illinois-based group Shawnee Hills and Hollers and Community Development Sustainable Solutions in East St. Louis, helped organize people to submit comments to the EPA about Veolia's permit, urging the agency to reconsider its July 2018 draft permit.
Ultimately the EPA decided to stick with the July 2018 draft.
"Our communities continue to be marginalized," the three groups said in a news release late Tuesday night. The groups plan a news conference on Wednesday.
Georgia de la Garza, a spokeswoman for the three groups, said the pollution emitted by Veolia affects everyone in the region, not just those immediately close to the Sauget business.
"It doesn't benefit one single resident ... It's being dumped on St. Louis also," de la Garza said, referring to area wind models.
She added it also affects people further south in Illinois.
Veolia said in its statement the technology to do what environmental groups want is not used in the industry.
"Certain environmental activist groups want Veolia to install continuous multi-metals emissions monitors," Griffiths said. "This technology isn't proven yet and is not currently used at any hazardous waste incinerators across the globe. Once it becomes available and can be a reliable technology to monitor metals, we will support its use at all commercial hazardous waste incinerators across the United States."

Office Outlet goes into administration putting 1,200 jobs at risk
By Andrew Ross echo_biz Business Editor
Office Outlet at West Quay Village
OFFICE Outlet, which has a branch in Southampton's Westquay Retail Village, has gone into administration, putting the future of 1,200 jobs at risk.
The retailer, which was formerly known as Staples, is not connected to the online-only business which currently trades under the Staples name.
Partners at Deloitte were appointed joint administrators on Monday.
Stores will continue trading while the business is marketed to potential new owners.
Joint administrator Richard Haws said: "In addition to a general downturn in trading as a result of the ongoing decline in the stationery market and UK retail in general, the company has recently experienced a reduction in credit from key suppliers, given the economic outlook which has severely impacted the financial position of the Company.
"We are hopeful a buyer can still be found for the business in the coming weeks and we will continue to trade the business with that aim in mind."
The chain launched a plan last August to shut a handful of stores under a form of insolvency called a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA). The deal also included three years of free rent on 20 sites.
But the move failed to save the chain which is understood to have had trouble scraping together rent for its 90 stores ahead of the due date on Friday.
US-based stationery giant Staples sold its UK shops to Hilco Capital, the former owner of HMV, in late 2016.
The chain was then renamed Office Outlet, while a separate online business continues to operate in the UK under the name Staples.

We are extremely happy to share this installation in a Chelsea townhouse where the fire surround, tables and lighting were supplied by Marmorea and sister company, Circa.
Our client wanted a fire surround that would be complemented by his existing large gold gilt overmantle mirror so we chose a 19th century Louis XVI marble fireplace in a richly veined creamy Italian marble with ormolu mounts; ormolu from the French 'or moulu' meaning ground or pounded gold.
Lighting is always a major contributory factor to the overall aesthetic of a room and we thought the 1950's Emile Stenjar flower chandelier – with white metal and acrylic flowers – to be a fantastic choice that would enhance the harmonious arrangement of the room whilst creating a beautiful warm light.
We called upon the services of our sister company, Circa, to supply the very chic set of occasional tables in chrome with original mirrored, bordered glass, and also the unusual flower lamp. Italian in design it has four petals crafted from beaten brass with a single bulb at the centre, and adds a quirky touch to this eclectic mix of styles.
Our client was delighted with the effect the additions to his already stylish room created and we, of course, were delighted to have another happy customer.
Most fire-gilders who manufactured the high carat gold-mercury of the ormolu on the fire surround did not live beyond forty because of exposure to the mercury fumes as it was driven off in the kiln to leave behind the gold veneer.

ACVC 2.0 for Ada 95 (available since February 6, 1995).
Compiler vendors may choose to get a certificate for either one. The ACVC 1.11 test suite will expire March 1997 and certificates will expire March 1998. The ACVC 2.0 test suite will expire March 1997 and certificates will expire March 1998.
First, there are 3034 tests called "9X Basic" which test the Ada 83 subset of Ada 95.
Second, there are 394 "core" tests that test the new features of the core language including annexes A and B. During the transition period, passing these tests is not required for Ada 95 validations.
Third, there are 40 tests that test features in the six annexes. These tests may be attempted by implementations that claim support for the respective annexes.
An additional 376 tests will be added to the core and annex categories in ACVC 2.1.

Pass, pass, pass way to go McAdoo your D almost had time for a full cup of gatorade. And WTF Eli he wasn't close to being open and the only guy who really had a shot was the Eagle.
Another up for grabs pass by Eli. He just can't throw deep any longer. Starting to look like a long afternoon in Philly.
100 degrees on the field the O is trying to run four play drives. You watch McAdope will still try the hurry, hurry, hurry offense. Get about 35 yards in a minute and then put a gassed D back on the field to get run over.....yeah it's the D's fault.
Before that drive the TOP was nearly identical. Defense was not gassed already. They will be soon though.
Sullivan may not be great but he can't be as bad as McAdoo at calling plays. Please give up the ply calling duties and fccus on being an actual head coach.
Mcadoo said there has to be drastic changes with the O. Am I missing something? Where is it? Hello drastic changes, where are you?
Our offense is horrific. I've never seen a Giants offense as horrific as the Giants the last 2 seasons. We have 3 very good receivers and a very good pass catching TE and we have 0 points.
Given the amount of talent on both sides of the ball, this is without a doubt the worst Giants team I have seen in my 35+ years of watching. Just utterly putrid.
It ultimately comes down to coaching. The offensive line has been fine today, yet our offense is still not scoring. So what seems to be the problem here then? COACHING. SCHEME. PLAYCALLING.
McAdoo is a bum of a HC.
well, all the things I'm on the guy for (and have been for awhile ) trying a hurry up is not going to be one of them. He had to change something and eli's always been great in the two minutes so why not? And if it works it THEIR defense is the one getting tired.
He's just not a head coach.
Off sides now! This team continuously finds ways to shoot tgemselves in the foot!
I am not even sure this team could beat the Jets.
Get ready to turn this off folks. We are going to get blown out because the defense is about ready to give up. Is the defense playing well? No, but it is hard to be inspired to play when EVERY SINGLE GAME you know that if you aren't playing A+ defense your team is going to lose.
This team might not win 4 games with this schedule.
How many td's in the preseason...now 10 quarters into the regular season and what one TD.?
And now the defense is starting to quit.
And you guys didn't want to TC, Too old....so he'll win with the Jags and he'll go into the HOF as a Jag.

The Lighthouse- A New Nautical Myth
My favorite phenomenon of watching movies in theaters is the long pause in between exiting the theater and talking about the film. I am not one to talk about the film the moment it concludes, I want to let the film stew in my thoughts and feelings, attempting to linger in the mood that the film leaves behind as the credits roll. In the minutes after Robert Eggers sophomore feature, The Lighthouse, my friend and I were mute for a very long time, not for a lack of things to discuss about the film, rather due to an overabundance of interpretations and theories. Not since my junior year of high school when my mother and I went to see Carol had a movie's greatness been so stifling and difficult to articulate. That film left us speechless due to its elegance and tenderness, whereas The Lighthouse is so memorable and inscrutable because of its unwavering singularity. One wishes to see it again in hopes that themes, images and narrative revelations become more tangible, however, the joy of watching, The Lighthouse, is exactly this distance between what is transpiring on-screen, what the viewer believes to be happening, and what the characters assume is going on that arouses tension, inducing an atmosphere of uncertainty and dread.
The Lighthouse is not a passive viewing experience, almost every scene in the film requires attention to detail and a genuine level of engagement with the on-screen text. This film will leave you behind and not concern itself with holding your hand. The Lighthouse is absolutely unrelenting in it's fascination with the minutiae of the protagonists' lives, and it's a testament to both of the primary players, Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson combined with Eggers assured vision that these early scenes are so engrossing and unnerving. Watching Winslow (Pattinson) struggle with daily chores at the firm commands of the drunken Thomas (Dafoe) would simply be filler in other genre films, a "calm before the storm", to use a sea-faring term; here, however, they gain legitimate significance narratively, as all of these actions are repeated in some fashion towards the latter half of the film in a slightly different albeit incredibly crucial manner.
The performances in this film are mostly amazing, both Winslow and Thomas are allotted monologues before the film's end that rank among the best work in either of the actor's respective careers. If the term "curdled foreskin" never entered your brain… well… you can thank Eggers and Pattinson, it won't leave once it's there. The performances falter slightly in the film's commitment to accents, while Dafoe is completely entrenched in his scurvy-pirate voice, Pattinson struggles to find a consistent tone and accent. There were scenes where he could've been from the American-South, but then occasionally from Ireland, and then his actual accent would slip through and he's British suddenly. It was jarring. This could contain narrative relevance as it pertains to Winslow's character development later on in the story but it mostly felt like Pattinson just isn't good at accents, and after seeing the latter half of The King, I am inclined to believe it's a question of quality rather than directing the performance towards the ambiguous origins of the character.
The genre is perhaps the most indefinable aspect of The Lighthouse. While it's occasionally uncomfortable, genuinely frightening and extremely weird, it's also hilarious. There were scenes where my friend and I were openly cackling as a confused audience around us stared up at the screen completely stoic. It's not funny like a joke or a punchline, the laughs stem from the absurdity of being a human in this particularly bizarre situation which is a refreshing approach to comedy, some people didn't get it, and that's okay. The genre feels purposefully dodging, as if it's always fleeing to some other genre-pillar. The Lighthouse shares the most with a mystery film despite the terror and genuine thrills that the film provides. The film requires the viewer to play detective, calling on prior knowledge of mythology and religion to coalesce with the on-screen events to strengthen the narrative and themes. This is largely successful but there are perhaps one or two too many red-herrings and misleading clues, however, sifting through what is relevant and what isn't is incredible fun, especially with a friend, what sticks out for some may not for others.
Even if The Lighthouse absolutely annoys or frustrates a viewer the film is absolutely worth watching. It's clever, witty, shocking, sometimes revolting but always engaging. The photography is gorgeous, the composition is constantly meaningful. Eggers understands the importance of reaction shots. He often lingers on someone's reaction much longer than he focuses on what they are reacting to. This technique forms some of the film's most effective scenes, the dream sequences especially become all the more horrific as they often begin with Winslow's bewildered expressions. There will not be another film quite like The Lighthouse this year or even next year, and that can be said with explicit confidence that brings sadness to my heart but really accentuates what a massive achievement this film is in the current media landscape: a genuinely unique, daring, bold outing at the cinema that deserves to be shared, beloved and berated passionately by many for years to come.

Award winning dancehall star, Wallas Chirimuko popularly known as Winky D has for the third time been nominated for the African Entertainment Awards in the category of the best Dancehall artist.
Winky D has been outstanding on the local music front bagging various awards and has on more than one occasion out-shined international musicians during concerts where he performed as a curtain raiser.
In an interview with 263Chat, Jonathan Band, Winky D's manager watered down the landmark achievement saying it was not the first time that the Gafa President has been nominated for awards in Africa.
"It not the first time us being nominated in African awards and we are happy about it shows that our works are not going without recognition and it's an owner," said Banda.
He added that it is Winky D's wish to land the prize but reckoned that it is upto the judges.
"It is going to according to the judges to make us winners but we would like to win," added Banda.
In 2011, Winky D was nominated for the African Entertainment Awards (AEA) in the Best Mainstream Act of the Year, Song of the Year and Artist of the Year categories.

Bovine Pancreatic RNase A: An Insight into the Mechanism of Antitumor Activity In Vitro and In Vivo

In this investigation, we extensively studied the mechanism of antitumor activity of bovine pancreatic RNase A. Using confocal microscopy, we show that after RNase A penetration into HeLa and B16 cells, a part of the enzyme remains unbound with the ribonuclease inhibitor (RI), resulting in the decrease in cytosolic RNAs in both types of cells and rRNAs in the nucleoli of HeLa cells. Molecular docking indicates the ability of RNase A to form a complex with Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer, and microscopy data confirm its localization mostly inside the nucleus, which may underlie the mechanism of RNase A penetration into cells and its intracellular traffic. RNase A reduced migration and invasion of tumor cells in vitro. In vivo, in the metastatic model of melanoma, RNase A sup-pressed metastases in the lungs and changed the expression of EMT markers in the tissue adjacent to metastatic foci; this increased Cdh1 and decreased Tjp1, Fn and Vim, disrupting the favorable tumor microenvironment. A similar pattern was observed for all genes except for Fn in metastatic foci, indicating a decrease in the invasive potential of tumor cells. Bioinformatic analysis of RNase-A-susceptible miRNAs and their regulatory networks showed that the main processes modulated by RNase A in the tumor microenvironment are the regulation of cell adhesion and junction, cell cycle regulation and pathways associated with EMT and tumor progression.

Molecular docking indicates the ability of RNase A to form a complex with Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer, and microscopy data confirm its localization mostly inside the nucleus, which may underlie the mechanism of RNase A penetration into cells and its intracellular traffic. RNase A reduced migration and invasion of tumor cells in vitro. In vivo, in the metastatic model of melanoma, RNase A sup-pressed metastases in the lungs and changed the expression of EMT markers in the tissue adjacent to metastatic foci; this increased Cdh1 and decreased Tjp1, Fn and Vim, disrupting the favorable tumor microenvironment. A similar pattern was observed for all genes except for Fn in metastatic foci, indicating a decrease in the invasive potential of tumor cells. Bioinformatic analysis of RNase-A-susceptible miRNAs and their regulatory networks showed that the main processes modulated by RNase A in the tumor microenvironment are the regulation of cell adhesion and junction, cell cycle regulation and pathways associated with EMT and tumor progression.

This page or section is considered an official policy on Wookieepedia.
It has wide acceptance among editors and is considered a standard that everyone must follow. Please use the Consensus track to propose changes to this policy.
NPOV (Neutral Point Of View) is a fundamental Wookieepedia principle which states that all articles must be written from a neutral point of view, representing views fairly and without bias. This includes real-world articles, in-universe articles, reader-facing templates, and categories. Neutral point of view is one of Wookieepedia's two content policies—the other being verifiability.
The neutral point of view is a means of dealing with conflicting views. The policy requires that, where there are or have been conflicting views, these should be presented fairly, but not asserted. All significant points of view are presented, not just the most popular one. It should not be asserted that the most popular view or some sort of intermediate view among the different views is the correct one. Readers are left to form their own opinions.
As the name suggests, the neutral point of view is a point of view, not the absence or elimination of viewpoints. It is a point of view that is neutral—that is neither sympathetic nor in opposition to its subject.
Debates are described, represented, and characterized, but not engaged in. Background is provided on who believes what and why, and which view is more popular. Detailed articles might also contain the mutual evaluations of each viewpoint, but studiously refrain from stating which is better. One can think of unbiased writing as the cold, fair, analytical description of all relevant sides of a debate. When bias towards one particular point of view can be detected the article needs to be fixed.
If we're going to characterize disputes fairly, we should present competing views with a consistently positive, sympathetic tone. Many articles end up as partisan commentary even while presenting both points of view. Even when a topic is presented in terms of facts rather than opinion, an article can still radiate an implied stance through either selection of which facts to present, or more subtly their organization—for instance, refuting opposing views as one goes along makes them look a lot worse than collecting them in an opinions-of-opponents section.
We should, instead, write articles with the tone that all positions presented are at least plausible, bearing in mind the important qualification about extreme minority views. Let's present all significant, competing views sympathetically. We can write with the attitude that such-and-such is a good idea, except that, in the view of some detractors, the supporters of said view overlooked such-and-such a detail.

Oleksandr Hryhorowytsch Barwinskyj (; * 6. Juni 1847 in Schljachtynzi, Galizien, Kaisertum Österreich; † 25. Dezember 1926 in Lemberg, Zweite Polnische Republik) war ein ukrainischer Politiker, Historiker und Pädagoge.

Leben
Oleksandr Barwinskyj kam in Schljachtynzi bei Ternopil als älterer Bruder von Wolodymyr Barwinskyj in einer griechisch-katholischen Priesterfamilie zur Welt.
Er studierte zwischen 1865 und 1868 Geschichte und ukrainische Sprache und Literatur an der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Lemberg. 1867 begann er mit der Herausgabe der Zeitung "Prawda" und lernte in dieser Zeit auch den Komponisten Mykola Lyssenko kennen, der auf sein Bitten sein berühmtes "Testament" schrieb. Nach seinem Studium erhielt Barwinskyj die Stellung des stellvertretenden Rektors des Gymnasiums in Bereschany, wo er sich um die Schaffung ukrainischer Schulbücher bemühte. Dabei erhielt er Unterstützung von seinen persönlichen Bekannten Mykola Lyssenko und Pantelejmon Kulisch. 1888 kam in Ternopil sein Sohn Wassyl Barwinskyj zur Welt. Im selben Jahr kehrte er nach Lemberg zurück, wo er als Professor am Lehrerseminar tätig war. 1891 wurde Barwinskyj als Vertreter Galiziens Abgeordneter im österreichischen Abgeordnetenhaus in Wien und blieb dies bis zur X. Legislaturperiode.

Von 1893 bis 1897 war er Vorsitzender der Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft Schewtschenko, die unter seinem Nachfolger Mychajlo Hruschewskyj endgültig wissenschaftliches Prestige und eine pan-ukrainische Bedeutung erlangte.
In den Jahren 1918 und 1919 war er Delegierter im ukrainischen Nationalrat und vom 9. November 1918 bis 4. Januar 1919 Sekretär für Bildung und religiöse Angelegenheiten im Staatssekretariat der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik in der Regierung von Kost Lewyzkyj. Nach dem Ende der ukrainischen Volksrepublik zog er sich aus der Politik zurück und widmete sich der Literaturforschung. 1926 starb Oleksandr Barwinskyj in Lemberg, wo er im Familiengrab auf dem Lytschakiwski-Friedhof beerdigt wurde.

Jim Walsh, Cherry Hill Courier-Post Published 6:59 p.m. ET Jan. 15, 2020 | Updated 9:37 a.m. ET Jan. 16, 2020
MOUNT HOLLY - A Texas man is accused of calling for racial violence in a group chat created by South Jersey students planning a school prank.
Kenneth Petersen, 21, has been indicted on a charge of bias intimidation in connection with his alleged post, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office said Wednesday.
Petersen posted the comment to an online discussion organized by seniors at Northern Burlington Regional High School in the spring of 2018, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
He suggested "all the black people at the school" should be shot, the statement alleged.

The student who received the message did not know the sender, the prosecutor's office said. She reported the message to a teacher, and Mansfield police began an investigation in May 2018, it said.

"The comment raised particular concern in the school community because it was made as the 2018 graduation ceremony was approaching," said the prosecutor's office.
It said police boosted their presence at the school "and it was quickly determined that the threat had come from out of state."
The investigation found no students or faculty members were in danger, the statement said.
Petersen, then a student at a Texas college, was arrested in September 2019.
The prosecutor's office said the South Jersey students were communicating via a messaging app, GroupMe.
"Access to the group chat was available to anyone with a GroupMe account," it said, adding Petersen's reasons for allegedly joining the discussion were not known.
Petersen is a resident of Stephenville, a small city about 100 miles southwest of Dallas and some 1,600 miles from the South Jersey high school
"You cannot hide behind a cell phone halfway across the country while spewing such hatred," Prosecutor Scott Coffina said in announcing Petersen's indictment.
An investigation into the incident included Mansfield police, the prosecutor's office, the New Jersey State Police, FBI and the police department at Tarleton State University in Stephenville.

Mr High Test visits Sheffield in September 1930
Mr High Test and his Baby Austin. Image: Ken Martin Collection
September 1930. Mr High Test, a giant representative of the Anglo-American Oil Company, proprietors of Pratts High Test Petrol, visited Sheffield on an errand of "personal interest to all motorists in the district," and make them aware of its new product.
Mr High Test was seven feet high and wore a uniform of orange and gold and had been covering the whole of the country in a 7 h.p. Austin Seven car. His height meant the seat was set a good way back, and he confessed that his biggest problem was finding a bed to sleep in.
He was really Mr R. Ormiston Noble, a Londoner, who at the age of 17 had joined the Army and went to France. Afterwards, he set up his own business before joining Pratts where he remained for several years.
He travelled in the car from Cardiff to Sheffield, and during his stay toured local garages and made appearances at the Hippodrome Theatre on Cambridge Street, where he became the butt of jokes from Frank E. Franks, a comedian, and at the Empire Theatre.
In 1935, a new range of petrol replaced Pratts at filling stations, a petrol so notably advanced that it was sold in all countries under a new name – ESSO – that Mr High Test promoted until being side-lined the following year.

Academics and students oppose Cambridge University appointment of eugenicist Noah Carl—Part 2
By Thomas Scripps
Social Darwinism and its political corollaries are not new to university campuses. In the early to mid-1900s, eugenics had a significant following in ruling and academic circles. In 1907, the British Eugenics Education Society was established, followed by the American Eugenics Society in 1921 and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics in 1927. International Eugenics Conferences were held in London in 1912 and in New York City in 1921 and 1932. Prominent adherents included John Maynard Keynes, H.G. Wells, Bertrand Russell and George Bernard Shaw.
These ideas gained currency for very definite social and political reasons. Eugenics had first been formed as a school of thought in the late 1800s, but found a wider hearing from the turn of the century as world capitalism entered an extended period of collapse. In the course of these tumultuous decades, the question of revolution was posed in country after country.
A number of those thinkers who were tied to a belief in the essential rationality of capitalist economy, however, would not accept that the system was at fault and were pushed into searching for the origin of persistent social problems in "defective" human material. These efforts were also driven by fear of "national degeneration," inflamed by fierce imperialist rivalries and the threat of war.
The mentally ill were often the first to be targeted, subjected to compulsory sterilisation programmes in the United States, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, Belgium and Japan, among other countries. Some eugenicist thinkers went further and suggested their extermination. In certain circles, definitions of "unfit" populations came to include the "residuum," i.e., the most disadvantaged, chronically unemployed, poverty-stricken and sick in society. This thinking combined with ideologies of empire to create a new "scientific" justification for claims of racial and national superiority. The unleashing of fascist counterrevolution brought these ideas to their horrific conclusion in the death camps of Nazi Germany.
After 1945, eugenics was forced into the shadows by popular revulsion. Today, however, as the crisis of capitalism is again reaching a fever pitch, eugenics is being revived amid a general rehabilitation of far-right ideology by the ruling class worldwide. In Britain, the Tory government's Office for Students (OfS) was established this January with the explicit purpose of spearheading this campaign. Its mandate, as described by then-universities minister, Jo Johnson, was to "go even further to ensure that universities promote freedom of speech within the law," allowing the government to sanction institutions it felt to be stifling debate.
The nomination of Toby Young to lead the OfS said everything necessary about the sort of "free speech" it would be promoting. Young's only credentials for the job were a close affiliation with the Conservative Party, a long history of attacking alleged left-wing authoritarianism on campus, and a back catalogue of tweets including, among numerous lewd remarks, references to "vaguely deformed" working-class students and "functionally illiterate troglodyte(s)."
In view of Noah Carl's appointment at Cambridge, it is especially significant that Young had also previously written on "progressive eugenics" and—it emerged just a few days after the announcement of his OfS appointment—had attended the London Conference on Intelligence.
Young was forced to resign after a massive popular outcry, but not before senior government figures, including then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, weighed in with a major defence of their appointee. Young was selected because of his far-right views and was only let go when his position became untenable.
His departure did not change the agenda of the OfS one jot. It has, along with former universities minister Sam Gyimah, repeatedly declared the need to open up universities to "debate," by which they mean to the Right. Gyimah has said he intends to "clarify the rules and regulations around speakers and events to prevent bureaucrats or wreckers on campus from exploiting gaps for their own ends."
OfS Chairman Sir Michael Barber has expressed the need for "challenging or unpopular" speech. He will have powers to shame or fine institutions which the OfS deems has interfered with these principles. The green light has been given for universities and student societies to invite any reactionary they like onto campus—with the government standing ready to denounce students who protest and expose their ideas.
Meanwhile, Young is playing the same role he would have played as head of the OfS from his position in the press. Responding to the petition against Carl, Young wrote an article in the Spectator denouncing "the scandalous shaming of Noah Carl" by "a mob of grievance studies professors." He has followed this up with another piece, "Will Noah Carl get a fair hearing?" which calls for Chris Skidmore, the current universities minister, "to stand up for intellectual freedom and free speech."
Spiked magazine, the right-wing libertarian journal which has long been at the forefront of the "free speech" crusade at universities, and always in support of right-wing figures, published a dishonest defence of Carl, "The rise of academic mobbing," by Joanna Williams. While claiming Carl's views needed to be "rigorously challenged," Williams suggested that, "Instead of piling on a young academic and calling for him to lose his job, the mob would be better off spending their time taking up the views they find so objectionable."
Attempts to portray Carl as a junior researcher being "mobbed" and silenced by more senior academics are bogus. The whistle was blown on his appointment by over 200 concerned students at St Edmund's College Cambridge, where Carl is now based. They wrote an open letter to the college fellowship, describing his research as "methodologically flawed" and "openly racist" and his appointment as "indefensible."
Young and Spiked are playing to a right-wing trope well established in the press over the past few years. Melanie Phillips, writing in the Times, has wailed before that "Universities have caved in to [the] dogma and thuggery" of "left-wing bullies and craven authorities."
In June this year she wrote a Times opinion piece headlined, "Left-wing hate mobs can't stand free speech" after students at Stanford University demanded that a speaking invitation to Charles Murray, author of The Bell Curve, a right-wing book mirroring the views of eugenics, be rescinded. The Daily Mail 's Stephen Glover has accused universities of producing a "left-wing fifth column" while the Telegraph has lamented a 2017 report by the Adam Smith Institute claiming eight in 10 academics in Britain to be left-wing.
Carl has written papers in a similar vein, such as "How Stifling debate around race, genes and IQ can do harm," and "The left-liberal skew of Western media."
The most reactionary forces feel increasingly emboldened to advance their agendas on campus. Only last month, Steven Bannon was invited to speak unchallenged at the Oxford Union.
A political response must be organised.
The WSWS and International Youth and Students for Social Equality support the campaign against Carl's appointment. His promotion by Cambridge University is part of a broader right-wing offensive rooted, as in the past, in an extreme crisis of capitalist society. Bourgeois politics demands an "intellectual" justification for rising social inequality at home and predatory imperialist looting abroad. This must be countered with a programme of socialist revolution, the only basis for the defence of genuine free speech and academic discourse.

Power transmission submarine cable link between Sicily and Calabria
The "cable of records", a milestone in terms of technological features and installation complexity
Milan, Italy - 05/30/2016
Prysmian, power transmission submarine cable link between Sicily and Calabria handed over to Terna
The "cable of records", a milestone in terms of technological features and installation complexity, was produced in Arco Felice (NA), the industry's world excellence centre
Valerio Battista, Prysmian CEO, "proud to provide the best technology in the world. We are keeping on investing to grow also in Italy."
The contract value was € 300 Million. Prysmian order book amounts to 3.2 € billion
Milan, May 30, 2016 - Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, announces that the extra high voltage power cable link between Sicily and Calabria across the Messina straits has been successfully handed over to its customer Terna Spa Rete Elettrica Nazionale.
"We are proud to provide the best technology and know-how owned by our Group, worldwide leader in this sector, for such a strategic link", stated Valerio Battista Prysmian CEO. "The cable link handed over to Terna was engineered and produced in the plant located in Arco Felice, near Naples".
Prysmian developed and produced a double-circuit 380 kV HVAC (high voltage alternate current) land and submarine cable system installed along a total route of approximately 44 km – of which 38 km running under water – between the power stations of Villafranca Tirrena in Sicily and Scilla in Calabria. The project includes the installation of the first permanent monitoring system, an exclusive of Prysmian, carried out by ways of 18 Pry-Cam Grids devices installed along the entire land route section.
Prysmian installed the submarine cable with their own cableship Giulio Verne, the vessel with the largest operation capacity in the world in this sector. The land cables installation proved to be among the most technically complex ever, with operations carried out in a vertical shaft of 300 m and a 12% sloped and 2.8 km long tunnel.
Prysmian was awarded the 300 million euro contract in December 2009. The order book of Prysmian in the power transmission business amounts to 3.2 billion euro. With the goal of further strengthening its worldwide leadership in the industry, the Group is currently involved in important investment programmes both in terms of technology innovation (the announcement related to the first ever 700 kV HVDC cable system was released a few days ago) and of project execution, with the launch of a new cable laying barge.
