5 facts that will make you rethink how we treat the world's indigenous populations
Amanda Machado
There are over 300 million people around the world who belong to indigenous groups. And yet, it's only recently that countries and organizations have started keeping data on this demographic. The United Nations published its first report on the state of indigenous people in 2010, finally illustrating in numbers the significant disparities between this demographic and others. Much of the data collected so far also suggests that conditions for indigenous people may be getting worse each year. Here are five alarming facts about indigenous populations that we need to know:
1. Indigenous people make up about 5% of the world's population yet account for about one third of the world's extremely poor rural population.
In North America, almost 20% of Native Americans and Alaska Natives live in poverty, while 60% of Aboriginal children in Canadian cities live in poverty. In the U.S., Native Americans also make less than half the average income that non-indigenous people make.
In Australia and New Zealand, there's a similar trend. In Australia, the unemployment rate among indigenous people in 2006 was over three times higher than the non-indigenous rate. In New Zealand, the unemployment rate for the country's indigenous Maori population was twice as high as the national average.
In Latin America, the poverty rates for indigenous groups are also consistently higher than the rest of the population. In Paraguay, the rate is 7.9 times higher. Panama: 5.9 times higher. Mexico: 3.3 times higher. Guatemala: 2.8 times higher.
2. The life expectancy for indigenous people on average is around twenty years lower than that of non-indigenous people.
In Guatemala, there is a 13 year difference in life expectancy between indigenous and non-indigenous populations. As children, indigenous people in Latin America also have a 70% higher rate of child mortality. Similar numbers exist in Asia and Africa.
"First world" countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand also have abysmal statistics regarding the health of their indigenous populations. In fact, it's a U.S. indigenous group — the Pima tribe of Arizona — that is noted for having one of the highest rates of diabetes in the world: 50% of Pima adults between the ages of 30-64 suffer from the disease. In the United States, Native Americans and Alaska Natives also have an astounding 510% higher rate of alcoholism, a 600% higher rate of tuberculosis, and a 189% higher rate of diabetes than the general population. In Australia, the life expectancy gap between indigenous and non-indigenous people is twenty years, while in New Zealand it's eleven years.
Lower life expectancy rates are also affected by higher rates of suicide among indigenous groups: in Canada, Inuit people have a suicide rate that is eleven times higher than the national average.
3. Some estimates show that more than one in three indigenous women are likely to be raped during their lifetime.
In the United States, Native American women are more than twice as likely to be raped or sexually violated than women in the United States in general. In communities across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, rates of sexual violence are also higher among indigenous women. Women from this population are also more likely to experience other forms of sexual disempowerment, such as child marriage and genital mutilation.
4. Experts predict that around 90% of all existing languages (many indigenous) could become extinct within the next 100 years.
97% of the world's population speaks only 4% of the world's language. Most of the other 3% who speak 96% of the languages that currently exist today come from indigenous backgrounds. Without making education in these languages a priority, experts say that countries can expect that many of these languages will soon become extinct. In some communities, this has already happened: the last native speaker of the indigenous Alaskan language Eyak died in 2000.
5. These disparities between indigenous populations and others cannot be attributed only to lack of education or resources. Discrimination is also an important factor.
According to a report by the World Bank, even when an indigenous person successfully achieves a certain level of education, their earnings still end up far lower than non-indigenous people with the same education.
This suggests that indigenous people may not be receiving the same opportunities as people of other groups, regardless of their effort. The report argued then that only half of the gap in poverty rates between indigenous and non-indigenous people could be attributed to things like lack of education, area of residence, or other obvious factors that affect income. The rest is a result of more subtle forms of discrimination that may not exist legally, but still significantly impact people from these populations. As Matthew Parris wrote in his piece for The Spectator, "No law stops you rising as a South American Indian: only the softly suffocating disregard that those with power will feel toward you."
The United Nations has documented the history of racism that indigenous groups have received over the last few centuries. It's clear that without acknowledging that discrimination first, little progress can be achieved.

Featured News Features SPAC Special Purpose Acquisition Company Merger M&A Coffee Military
A $1.7 Billion Coffee Company in Utah? Yep.
by David Politis a year ago 6 min read
Salt Lake City-based Black Rifle Coffee Company has announced that it is merging into publicly traded SilverBox Engaged Merger Corp I (NasdaqCM:SBEA).
Post-merger, the expectation is that the coffee-making/selling Black Rifle will be worth $1.7 billion as a publicly traded firm.
Here's the rundown on how a Utah-based coffee company has not only survived in a state dominated by a coffee-teetotaling religion, but has actually thrived and appears primed for the big time of multi-billion-dollar status.
From Northern Idaho to Green Beret to CIA Operative to Coffee-Roasting Entrepreneur
The Master Roaster behind Black Rifle Coffee Company is Evan Hafer.
A self-described lousy high school student, Hafer grew up in the northern Idaho towns of Weippe and Lewiston as part of a multi-generational family of military men and loggers. That background led Hafer to join the Washington National Guard directly out of Lewiston High School in 1995.
It was through his National Guard service that Hafer says he began to discover himself, as he was "reborn."
This re-birth took him first to the University of Idaho, where Hafer joined the ROTC, which put him on a path to join the U.S. Army in 1999 and become a Special Forces Operator as a Green Beret in 2000.
All told, Hafer put in close to 20 years of government service, including his time with the National Guard, as active military, and as an intelligence service employee/contractor.
Evan Hafer "in country" during a deployment. Image from a Black Rifle Coffee Co. video, downloaded from YouTube 10 November 2021.
Speaking of which, after leaving the U.S. Army, Hafer began a nine-year engagement with the Central Intelligence Agency in 2005, with seven of those years serving in combat zones.
So what does any of this have to do with coffee?
In his LinkedIn profile, Hafer writes that
"I fell in love with coffee in Seattle in 1997 and I started roasting coffee in 2006 to take with me on my deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan."
According to Hafer, he even retrofitted his unit's gun trucks so he could grind coffee, put the coffee through a French press, and drink small batch roasted coffee in country.
Black Rifle Coffee Co. video downloaded from YouTube 10 November 2021.
According to this interview with The Vets Project, Hafer explains
"I was deployed for a decade about 300 days a year to Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, or Africa."
So, where he could on deployments, Hafer continued to experiment with (and enjoy) his own self-roasted coffee.
"Great coffee (especially on deployments) was one of those things where, if you started your day with it, it just made your day that much better ... whether I was in Mosul or wherever I was."
Fast forward then to Hafer's life post-government service, and what started as sharing and selling his own, home-roasted blends for family and friends began to sprout into something more.
Eventually Hafer realized he "... had to transition completely away from recreational roaster to 'This is my day job.'"
By then Hafer and his family had moved to Salt Lake City, in part to be close to the outdoors and recreational activities available in Utah. So when they decided he would go full time into the coffee business, the capitol city of the State of Deseret was where Black Rifle Coffee Company was born in late 2014.
From Solopreneur to Emerging Multi-Billion-Dollar Enterprise
Today, nearly some seven years on, Hafer now leads a team of over 600 employees, with the headquarters (and main roasting facility) in SLC, and a separate roasting operation in Tennessee.
The focus of the company, Haefer explains, is "... to provide a high-quality product while giving back to the veteran, military, and first responder communities. What I wanted to do was hire high-quality veterans and tell inspiring stories about veterans and giving back to great charitable donations while providing a high-quality coffee."
Of its 600+ Black Rifle employees, the company says that ~50% are military veterans or spouses of veterans. Crazy enough, the company has set it sights on hiring 10,000 military veterans.
Black Rifle currently has three categories of products it sells, including
Various Black Rifle coffee/beverage products, such as
Twelve-ounce and 5-pound coffee bags,
Single-serve coffee rounds,
Ready-to-Drink (RTD) coffee as canned beverages,
Coffee cold brew packs, steep bags, and instant coffee, as well as
Two cocoa products; plus
Black Rifle apparel (from shirts to hats to hoodies and more); plus
Black Rifle gear (from mugs to thermoses to coffee-making equipment and more).
Partial Black Rifle product listing from its website, dowloaded 10 November 2021.
Currently, Black Rifle's primary sales channel is Direct-to-Consumer via online Coffee Club subscriptions or one-off purchases, with over 270,000 subscriptions in place today.
In addition, however, Black Rifle RTD products are also sold in more than 33,000 retail locations across the U.S. today, making it a Top 4 brand in the $4 billion category, with less than 20% penetration in convenience stores.
Black Rifle has also begun opening its own retail stores called Outposts, with 16 total locations expected to be operational by the end of this year.
As noted in the graphic below, Black Rifle had
2019 revenue of $82MM,
2020 revenue of $164MM, and projects it will have
Estimated 2021 revenue of $230MM,
2022E revenue of $311MM, and
2023E revenue of $430MM.
Slide 9 of the Black Rifle investor presentation published on 2 November 2021.
And as noted below, Black Rifle is also projecting a significant shift in where and how it generates revenue, moving (it believes) from 84% of its sales coming from the DTC channel in 2021 versus a projected 46% in 2023.
More astounding, however, is its projected 10X growth in Outpost revenue, moving to an estimated 21% of overall sales in 2023 up from just 2% of Black Rifle's expected slice of 2021 revenue.
Slide #14 from the Black Rifle Coffee investor presentation published on 2 November 2021.
But projected revenue of $230 million at the end of 2021 is several steps short of a $1.7 billion valuation. Where does that come from?
Enter SilverBox Engaged Merger Corp I.
Another SPAC Merger for a Utah-based Firm
Back in early February, Austin, Texas-based SBEA informed the world of its intent to form a so-called "Blank Check" company when it filed its original Registration Statement for an IPO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Less than a month later, SBEA completed its Initial Public Offering, raising $345 million for its coffers, giving it the juice necessary to begin the process of looking for a likely candidate for the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) to acquire/merge with.
As with such SPACs, SBEA's Blank Check company – SilverBox Engaged Merger Corp I – began immediately to scour the country for a likely merger/acquistion candidate.
According to Joseph Reece, Executive Chairman of the Board of SilverBox in his interview with CNBC on November 3 (the day after the SPAC-merger was announced),
"... we started diligencing (Black Rifle) in June."
Now, some four-plus months after due diligence started, that day has arrived.
So when this merger is completed, presuming the deal is consumated, the newly acquired/merged Black Rifle is expected to have a valuation on Wall Street of upwards of $1.7 billion.
And yes, that's a multiple of 7.4X above 2021's projected sales of $230 million.
But not only does everyone involved in the proposed merger believe that $1.7 billion target is in line with other rapid growth, consumer-focused company valuations, the parties actually racheted down the proposed valuation by several hundred million dollars. {Yep, it's in the SilverBox SEC filings.}
Nevertheless, to be clear, this is one of the most complex/convoluted SPAC transactions I have ever encountered, with over 350 pages in the SilverBox Prospectus filed yesterday with the SEC, and with numerous agreements having to take place simultaneously or in cascading fashion for the deal to get done.
But to this non-attorney, it appears that every "T" has been crossed and every "I" has been dotted.
More importantly, post-merger, Black Rifle should have at least $225 million on its balance sheet (at least according to the companies' news release published on November 2).
So ... there you have it.
And if Black Rifle's growth projections are even remotely close to what it foresees for 2022 and 2023, Utah is looking at another multi-billion-dollar valued company on its very near horizon.
So good on ya, Evan and Team Black Rifle. Should be a very, very interesting couple of months.

Jaiprakash Associates deposits Rs 100 crore in Supreme Court
The flagship company of the Jaypee group has now deposited a total of Rs 650 crore in the registry of the Supreme CourtPTI | Updated: April 13, 2018, 08:36 IST
NEW DELHI: Crisis-hit Jaiprakash Associates has deposited Rs 100 crore as per the direction of the Supreme Court in the case related to delays in delivery of flats by its subsidiary, according to sources.
On March 21, the apex court had asked the company to deposit Rs 200 crore in two instalments.
The flagship company of the Jaypee group has now deposited a total of Rs 650 crore in the registry of the Supreme Court.
The bench headed by Chief Justice Deepak Misra had directed the company to deposit Rs 100 crore by April 16 and the rest by May 10.
The Supreme Court had asked it to submit a project-wise chart of home buyers seeking refund so that the amount can be dispersed on pro-rata basis.
"At present we are concerned with the refund and will take later the issue raised by home buyers who want delivery of flats," the top court had said.
Jaiprakash Associates had informed that only 8 per cent of 31,000 home buyers have opted for refund and rest want the possession of flats.
Jaiprakash Associates subsidiary company Jaypee Infratech is developing various projects in Noida and Greater Noida.
Thousands of home buyers are stuck after the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had last year admitted the IDBI's bank plea to initiate insolvency proceedings against the debt ridden Jaypee Infratech.
Jaypee Group is targeting to complete the construction of pending 24,000 flats in Noida by 2020 at a cost of about Rs 8,000 crore and deliver it to home buyers.
Of the Rs 8,000 crore needed to complete the flats, Rs 6,000 crore would come from home buyers while another Rs 2,000-2,500 crore needs to be infused, Jaypee adviser Ajit Kumar had said earlier this year.
In 2007, Jaypee group started the development of 32,000 flats and plots in its township Wish Town at Noida, of which nearly 8,000 units have been delivered so far.
Of the total flats/plots, Jaypee Infratech, which has already gone into insolvency, began work on 28,000 units while the remaining 4,000 units were with Jaiprakash Associates.
The group is facing huge protest from home buyers due to delays in delivery of real estate projects.
Jaypee Infratech, which is into road construction and real estate business, has constructed the Yamuna Expressway, connecting Delhi and Agra.

From the Tunnels of Gaza to the Deserts of Nevada: IDF-Style Training for U.S. Agencies
byRichard Venola
Everyone in law enforcement knows that active-shooter tactics changed dramatically after the Columbine High School shootings of 1999. Less well known is how lessons learned during 2009's tunnel fighting under Gaza forced Israelis to adapt. A special unit was established to study fighting in the sprawling labyrinth of newly constructed tunnels under the notorious Gaza Strip.
Hit the Bullseye with Bullseye: Classic Loads from a Classic Powder
Bullseye is one of the oldest smokeless pistol powders and still one of the most popular. Since it hit the market 103 years ago, it has been a staple for most handloaders and the backbone of most "accuracy" loads in the popular calibers. In my area, Bullseye is one of the first powders to disappear from shelves, lasting about a heartbeat longer than an econo bulk box of .22 Long Rifle ammunition.

Browning's First Pump Shotgun: Winchester Model 97
byRobert Campbell
The Winchester Model 1897 was designed by John Moses Browning. Though all Browning designs were not successful, the majority were, and the 97 is no exception. This shotgun has all the earmarks of a classic firearm and is not only a war dog, but a long-serving law dog as well.


That doesn't change the fact that the Gamecocks (6-3, 4-3) deserve some credit for staying out of the trash pile that the bottom of the SEC has become. Arkansas had to rally in the fourth quarter to beat Coastal Carolina on Saturday. Florida was whipped 45-16 by a Missouri team that hadn't won a conference game before Saturday. Tennessee and Vanderbilt are each 0-5 in the conference.
Meanwhile, in Muschamp's second season, the Gamecocks still could finish second in the SEC's Eastern Division. South Carolina hosts the Gators on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium.
South Carolina put a lot of pressure on Bentley because its running game could manage only 43 yards, its lowest total in more than a month.
The Gamecocks needed to do just about everything right to give itself a chance against a Georgia team that has now won three straight in this rivalry. Instead, they missed an opportunity on a 46-yard missed field goal attempt by Parker White, couldn't get off the field on third down (allowing the Bulldogs to convert 8-of-13 attempts) and narrowly missed what would have been a big play when a Bentley pass was tipped and intercepted instead of being a completion to a wide open Bryan Edwards late in the first half.
Georgia had its second-lowest scoring output of the season, behind only a 20-19 win at Notre Dame in September.
Even in defeat Saturday, South Carolina gave its fans hope that it will do that in the weeks and seasons to come.
Carson Mason reviews three key takeaways from South Carolina's loss to Georgia.

« 2015 Kaesong wage fight (UPDATED)
North Koreans arrested for trade in rhino horn »
North Korean economic reforms tightly tied to domestic conditionsCao Shigong
According to Cao Shigong a member of the Korean Peninsula Research Society, Chinese Association of Asia-Pacific Studies, in the PRC's Global Times:
A series of proactive measures to adjust economic policies and expand exchanges with foreign countries recently adopted by North Korea have drawn widespread attention. The moves aim to help the country escape the long-lasting economic woes, improve the nation's political and social stability, and promote economic cooperation within the region. Therefore, they deserve welcome and encouragement. However, it is inappropriate to regard these measures as a signal of overall reforms or a starting point of further opening-up.
North Korea is always reluctant to label its measures for economic development as "reform and opening-up."
To begin with, China's implement of reform and opening-up is based on absolute disapproval of the mistaken route that deemed class struggle as the guiding principle. Yet North Korea, as a hereditary regime, does not allow any doubt or modification of its former leaders' ideologies and political lines such as juche ("self-reliance") and songun ("military-first").
Besides, China's reform has broken the traditional planned economy and set up a market-oriented socialist economy with the coexistence of other diverse forms of ownership, especially allowing the development of private business. But North Korea still cleaves to its old beliefs that planned economy and the public ownership of the means of production are the key characteristics of socialism, and that if they are changed, socialism will be lost.
In addition, as a big country, China enjoys strong tolerance and endurance. Even it is wide open to the world, under the pressure over intruding foreign cultures and values, it can still safeguard its political and social stability. North Korea, however, will find it hard to do the same if it opens up like China, against the backdrop of US hostility, the north-south divide, and fierce competition over systems.
Consequently, North Korea took the measures of "our-style (North Korea-style) socialism" and corresponding "reforms," including the 7.1 Economic Management Improvement Measures, 6.28 Economic Reform Measures and 5.30 Measures. Though similar to the reform and opening-up of China, they have their own distinguished features.
For instance, the country initiated "land contracts," yet did not end cooperative farms; it encourages its business to be flexible, yet without changing the way their property is held; it established special economic zones and economic development zones, but with focusing on advantageous areas and corridors.
The basic features of North Korean "reform" measures are improving the policy flexibility, introducing new management styles, and bringing the function of the market into full play, without changing its fundamental system. The country also introduces and utilizes foreign capital under the control of the government. Apparently, these practices stem from the nation's domestic conditions.
It is generally acknowledged that North Korea's reform measures have achieved initial success. North Korean economy has recorded positive growth for three consecutive years, with its domestic markets and consumption becoming more active and the strain on food and living supplies eased.
On the other hand, confrontation between North and South Korea is rumbling on, and the arrangements around the only industrial complex between the two sides, the Kaesong Industrial Region, is constantly encountering conflict, which has made business people skeptical about economic collaboration with North Korea. Especially as North Korea keeps conducting nuclear tests, it remains hard for it to break the sanctions and isolation from the international community.
All these factors prove the uncertainty of North Korea's economic reforms. Hence, media and scholars should be reminded to deliver accurate and comprehensive information over North Korea to the world, in order to prevent giving misleading impression or weakening the risk awareness of investors, causing irreparable losses as a result.

Do your students know when to give up?
Is knowing when to quit the key to success? Dr Stephanie Thornton explains why the art of strategic quitting can improve students' outcomes.
When should you give up? It's a more intriguing question than it may at first appear. We live in a culture that admires persistence: a society which believes that when the going gets tough, the tough should get going.
We work to instil our children with grit, the "can-do" mentality that will help them push on that extra mile toward success.
In fact, our language is full of clichés extolling the virtues of dogged persistence. And yet, at some level, we all know that there are limits to how far one should go on trying to achieve an elusive goal.
As Albert Einstein famously said, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insanity.
Research on top athletes is rediscovering what genius in any area has long known: as important as persistence is to success, it is equally important to know when to abandon a goal. Intelligent, strategic quitting is often the creative response, and can serve our fundamental values at least as well as sticking with the original goal.
The great example of 2013 was Andy Murray, who dropped out of the French Open to protect his injured back – thus abandoned his goal of winning four successive grand slams, but preserving his chances of winning the great prize: Wimbledon.
Perhaps paradoxically, it can be more difficult to quit and abandon a goal as Murray did than to persevere pointlessly, if you really care about that goal.
And thereby hangs the challenge for educationalists. Poorly motivated students, of course, have no problem abandoning the goals we set them! It is the able students, the highly motivated, the students who actively make those goals their own who find it hardest to let go of an elusive goal and move on.
Sometimes, their perseverance is rewarded. But sometimes it is destructive. Persevering beyond a certain point with a task you are not managing is exhausting and demoralising. When defeat has finally to be faced, the conscientious student can feel demoralised and disempowered – the self-belief and will to try new challenges seeps away.
The problem here is that in our "can-do" society we have made failure a taboo, to be avoided at all costs. Of course, we're still British – still capable of taking an heroic failure to our hearts ("Eddie the Eagle", the least successful of winter Olympians, for example).
But we don't want to be a failure. The conscientious don't want to fail at anything, don't want to admit defeat – that would wound their amour proper. We've lost sight of the value of strategic withdrawals, making it hard for the conscientious student to do the intelligent thing – and fostering the tendency to persevere beyond the point of sanity.
Yet "who fights and runs away lives to fight another day" is wise counsel, as our ancestors knew better than we do. They who struggle and drop a fruitless effort may well open the door to finding a better way – in fact, may open the door to creativity.
How do we change student attitudes to success and failure in fruitful ways? How do we teach the value of dropping an elusive goal and changing tack? In sum, how do we teach the subtle art of knowing when to persevere, and when to quit?
Different heroes?
Fifty years ago, children were taught that Scott of the Antarctic was the true British hero: he stuck it out, he did what he set out to do – not like that Shackleton fellow, who failed.
Scott and all his companions died, of course. And history has changed its view of Shackleton, who abandoned the search for glory and brought all his men home alive. We've learned that persistence is not to be admired in and of itself – values matter too. But we still offer the young models of success and failure that distort sensible thinking: stories of pure success, with the inevitable setbacks and switches of direction airbrushed away.
Yet no-one succeeds without setbacks. Indeed, it's precisely how you meet those setbacks which determines whether you go on to soar or crash – as is clear from the Andy Murray story, or Richard Branson, or virtually any other successful individual. If we want the young to manage setbacks creatively, to know when to quit and move on without descending into demoralised self-doubt, we need to offer them more role-models with a more nuanced history of success and failure – a Branson or a Murray, whose "failures" were only setbacks triggering a switch to a more successful path.
When to persevere and when to quit?
A key skill in making this decision is the ability to differentiate the possible from the impossible – and we're not good at that.
One school, concerned that their pupils could not draw this distinction, set some tests which could not possibly be completed. The resulting "emotional" reactions formed the basis for a valuable classroom discussion of how one goes about deciding whether it is or isn't feasible to reach a given goal, and when it is time to drop that goal and move on.
It is one way to raise the issue! And certainly, discussion is the way forward here. Individuals differ: typically, some drop a strategy too soon, some persist with a given goal too long, and only a few get it just right. Explicitly discussing how we decide when a thing is impossible and when it's time to try something else brings this important matter into consciousness. It allows the development of the reflective meta-skills and strategies that are vital for managing one's own efforts better.
Actually, we all know how to quit strategically – we just need to notice that, and learn to transfer the skill: In fact, all forms of problem-solving depend on quitting as much as on persisting. If the route to the solution is obvious, then there is no problem to be solved. It is when the first thing we try (hit it with a hammer, say) doesn't work that we have a problem.
Worth giving that same strategy another go, make sure we haven't simply misapplied it? Certainly: giving up too soon is a major cause of failure in problem-solving (so hit it again – and maybe, again, or harder). But if that first strategy clearly isn't working, then the intelligent answer is to try something else: find another way to achieve the goal.
Changing strategy in that way necessarily involves quitting regarding one goal and switching to another – not dropping the overall task goal (fit the block into the hole), but changing the sub-goals that structure the strategy we use in working toward that overall goal.
So we give up on the sub-goal of using brute force (for example) and see if the new sub-goal of rotating the block might work better.
So automatic is this process that we seldom notice that ordinary problem-solving demands a flexible quitting and switching of goals in this way – a process of using failures as the springboard for a new and more successful path. Calling this to students' attentions makes the power of giving up on one goal and embracing another salient: it's not failure but a strategic response. In fact, it is intelligent and creative.
Generalising the lesson
Goals come in all shapes and sizes. We're happy to switch sub-goals (the exact targets we set in trying to get from A to B), but find it much harder to abandon the overall task (the goal of getting to B) in favour of another.
It is a problem of horizons: we forget that "getting to B" is seldom entirely an end in itself – but rather, is only a step (a sub-goal) toward some larger goal (for an athlete like Murray, even winning Wimbledon is not the ultimate goal – though it has been a major focus for many years).
In school, of course, many overall goals are not elective, but fixed by the curriculum. But even here there is benefit to focusing on the bigger picture: a setback here does not put ultimate goals out of reach. The ability to put any particular task in that larger perspective can foster a more constructive attitude to setbacks and difficulties that is a skill not just for school, but for life.

Belizean culture is made up of sub-cultures that co-exist, but not always in harmony of each other's traditions.
Last Saturday night the Bliss Center was packed with adoring fans and connoisseurs of Garifuna music and culture to see the best parandero performer around. Belize is Aurelio Martinez's second home; he's toured here many times before and due to popular demand will be here again.
I found myself dancing non stop in my seat. This is why: Aurelio's dancing; guitar picking and singing is a crowd pleaser. The audience came from a cross section of Belizeans; former prime minister, lawyers, current government ministers, and writers. The majority of people were middle aged, but that doesn't mean they were tame. Not by a long shot!! Between almost every song, women were dancing in their seats. Aurelio revealed his charm in every moment he had with the audience; he loves to laugh and dance, connecting with the audience by talking directly to them. And of course the audience responded with waves of affection. He opened with words of affection for Belize. Before singing he explained his long standing friendship and collaboration with the late Andy Palacio; Belize's greatest punta rock and parandero artist.
Aurelio Martinez is a true creature of the stage- his music might not be to your taste, but just watching his command of the crowd was an unforgettable experience.
After the show the artist happily autographed his new CD and even members of his band-Garifuna Soul- were interacting with the audience.


Lawyer Did Not Respond To Motion For Summary Judgment And I Lost. Can I Sue Her?
I had a case pending in Circuit Court in one of the counties in Middle Tennessee. The defendant filed a motion for summary judgment and my lawyer forgot to respond on time so the judge dismissed my case. Can I sue my lawyer for not filing papers on time to keep my case alive?
Assuming that your lawyer had proper, timely notice of the motion for summary judgment and she was still representing you at the time the papers were due, she should have filed a response to the motion for summary judgment assuming that there was a good faith reason to oppose it. A lawyer cannot oppose a motion unless there is a good faith basis in the facts and / or the law to oppose it.
If you sue the lawyer, you will have to prove that (a) the lawyer should have filed on response; (b) the failure to file a response caused you to lose the motion; (c) if the case had not been dismissed you would have won the case; and (d) the amount of damages you would have won.
Expert testimony will be required to prove points (a) and (b).
If you want to sue this lawyer you must do so within one year of the time you knew or should have known that the lawsuit was dismissed. Failure to file suit on time will result in a loss of your rights.

It's been just about 6 months of being married to the love of my life and I thought it was about time I share with you guys What 6 Months Of Marriage Have Taught Me during this time.
Yes, we do have a long way to go. They say that the first year of marriage is usually the toughest. For most couples they usually don't live together before the wedding day, so you are experiencing all your partners habits after you have actually been living together.
We all are so complex and have different personalities so its natural for couples to clash and have disagreements. It's all about how you handle them that matters.
Justin and I have been together for over 5 years, he only promised after 4 years of actually dating and we lived together for about a year before we got married too. Let's just say we had enough time to get use to living with each other and made comprises so that we don't step on each other's toes.
For most of the time, it's been amazing, living together, growing our little family which now consists of 2 cats and 2 dogs for now… We have been embracing married life. It's only been 6 months but, that 6 months threw some curve balls at us. As soon as we got back from honeymoon we had a month to prepare everything to move into our own place, then do renovations onto of that we got a new dog little Muggles the Puggles. So it's been busy, to say the least.
One thing I can advise is communication is key for any relationship especially in the first year of marriage… Talking to each other is vital. Life can consume you at times, especially when you are running a household I can't even imagine how much tougher it's going to get when we have human babies… Every night we would just talk to each other before bedtime, it really does put you at ease and so important for your relationship.


Crime show procedural shows have been around almost as long as television, from the early years of Dragnet to current CBS staples like NCIS and Criminal Minds. But with a plethora of Law and Order reruns that clog up entire channels at a time, it's hard for shows which want to follow the comfort TV formula, yet stand out, to break the mold. That's why we need Season 2 of The Night Of, the HBO show which aired last summer (June of 2016) and is up for several Emmys nominations this fall.
The Night Of starred actor John Turturro as lawyer John Stone, representing Nasir "Naz" Khan, played by Riz Ahmed (who would go on a few months later to have his breakout role in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.) The role of Stone originally was supposed to be played by James Gandolfini, who died before production started. Based on the BBC series Criminal Justice, which only aired a single season, it was one of HBO's most critically acclaimed shows of the last year.
Ahmed's character, Khan, was a college student accused of murder of a woman named Andrea. And while the show worked very hard to keep from using all those slight of hand tricks audiences know so well from Law and Order and others, the real hook was that it never really let us know if Khan was as innocent as he claimed, or if he really did it.
And, spoiler alert, that in turn affected the jury who Khan was tried in front of. Despite Khan's only somewhat convincing argument on the stand that he didn't *think* he did it. Despite all the other twists and turns, and a near call of mistrial due to the improper behavior of Khan's other lawyer Chandra (played by Amara Karan), in the end, we wound up with a show that gave us no concrete answers. There was no comfort that the bad guys were definitely going to jail or that the good guys were exonerated, which is how these series are supposed to function.
Instead, in true to live form, the jury deadlocked, and Khan went home, with no real sense of conclusion, especially now that he's so distant from his real family, and had formed a new one in prison. It was one of the gutsiest endings to a show all year.
True to form, the Emmys have given the show, which was submitted as a "Limited Series," no less than ten nominations, including best actor nods for both Turturro and Ahmed.
With that kind of response, and those kinds of reviews, one would think HBO would be chomping at the bit to get a second season into production, and challenge the crime procedural format again. Heck, the end of the first season sees Stone heading to meet his next client, giving everyone an easy in for another round, and a semi-anthology format to follow, with Stone as the connecting character.
And yet, there's nothing currently on the horizon for a The Night Of Season 2. Why not? Back when the first season ended in 2016, The Hollywood Reporter had an interview with the executive producer Steven Zaillian, who seemed to suggest there would be a next one.
We're thinking about it and if we come up with something we all feel is worthy of doing, we'll do it. This was designed as a stand-alone piece. … That being said, there are ways of certainly kind of taking what it feels like and what it's about and doing another season on another subject.
So what happened? Why did HBO let this fall by the wayside? Let's hope that a few rounds of Emmy gold this month perhaps put the show back on HBO's radar and bring us another season next year.


PARENTING: Homeschooling gaining popularity in the U.S.
It's hard to say for sure exactly how many kids are homeschooled in the United States but one thing is certain, it's a sizable group that seems to be growing.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there were 1.8 million children homeschooled in 2012. The National Home Education Research Institute estimates that homeschooling is growing at a rate of 3 to 8 percent annually, which means there could be as many as 3.5 million kids currently being homeschooled in this country. That's one million more than the number of charter school students.
Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states but each state has its own way of managing homeschoolers, which is one reason that it's hard to get an accurate count. Some states, for example, have no reporting requirements. So the number of homeschoolers in those states can only be roughly estimated. In states such as Florida, many homeschooled students are registered with non-traditional private schools (commonly called umbrella schools). Those students are typically counted among the state's private school students, not homeschoolers.
Homeschooling began gaining traction in the United States during the 1980s with the vast majority of those early pioneers being evangelical Christians. Today, two thirds of homeschool families are Christian but the secular homeschool population is growing.
People choose to homeschool for many different reasons. Some parents are concerned about bullying or other threats to their children's well being. Some are unhappy with the academic standards and believe they can do a better job at home. Others want a more individualized education plan for their children. Whatever the reason, one thing is the same, parents who choose to homeschool want something different for their children than what the standard offerings are serving up.
For parents considering this option, the first step is learning the laws in your state. Does your state require you to file a letter of intent to homeschool with the local school district? Will you be required to keep an attendance record and a portfolio of your student's work? Do you need curriculum approval? Do you need regular testing or evaluations and who is qualified to administer those?
Regardless of what your state requires, it is smart to keep good records. Track field trips on a homeschool calendar. Keep a reading list of all the books (title and author) that your child has read or that you have read to your child during the school year. Keep samples of your student's work and offer rubrics or explanations for any evaluations or grades that you give. If you use curriculum, keep a concise list each year of what you are using.
The Home School Legal Defense Association is a great resource for anyone considering homeschooling. They provide detailed legal information and can even offer legal advice to prospective or current homeschoolers.


Former England U20 flanker Ben Earl is set to make his debut in the Premiership following a long injury list to Saracens backrow options.
Saracens head into two weeks of Anglo-Welsh Cup action following a loss to top of the table rivals Exeter Chiefs, failing to register a losing bonus point at Sandy Park over the weekend.
After slipping down to third place whilst still nursing the gaps left by injuries and international call-ups, there is one significant piece of good news to add a silver lining to the European Champions' cloud. Former England U20 captain Ben Earl earned a rare start at openside flanker against Exeter, impressing while making the most of the chances afforded him following injuries to Schalk Burger, Calum Clark, Michael Rhodes, Billy Vunipola and Joel Conlon.
The 20-year-old will have headed back East on Sunday evening in low spirits having suffered a loss, however, the consolation of an impressive performance across the board for 77-minutes is nothing to be sniffed at. The comparative literature university student was competitive at the breakdown, physical in the contact area and showed a pair of clean heels and tremendous acceleration for a well-taken try in the 32nd minute.
Quite the performance for a young lad yet to hit 21. Saracens should feel fortunate to have such a promising talent on their hands following the early retirement of openside Will Fraser last year. Earl looks likely to be the future of the black and red seven jersey for quite some time.
That being said, the arrival of 17-times-capped Scottish international Blair Cowan from London Irish on a short-term deal will ensure Earl is not short of competition for a starting role. Cowan has proved he can be a pest at the breakdown, dominant in defence and an imposing force when carrying, though it must be said he hasn't managed to quite reach his own high standards so far this season.
Saracens' Director of Rugby Mark McCall would be wise to keep Earl in the starting XV wherever possible, with the chance of yet another young Academy graduate following in the footsteps of Maro Itoje and Nick Isiekwe.
Springbok legend Burger will eventually be leaving Saracens and Clark is currently out for three months. The more time Earl can amass in a Saracens starting jersey, the fiercer their forward unit can remain during the international periods.
Earl may be about to become a name hot on the lips of even the most casual Premiership-viewing households as opposed to being familiar to just the Saracens faithful and the most well versed English supporters.


(WWJ) A local veteran was overcome with emotion after the keys to a mortgage-free home were handed over to her.
"This is so beautiful!" Army Sgt. Joann Springer said through tears as she took the keys to her first home on Vassar in Dearborn. The home was renovated and furnished through the Veteran's Association of Real Estate Professionals and Bank of America.
Springer told WWJ's Vickie Thomas she struggled for decades to get to this point of a stable life with her own home.
"This is so beautiful ... because now they can see there is people out there who can really help you," Springer said.
Her favorite room? The kitchen, what else. She also likes that the dining room overlooks the patio.
Dustin Luce, founder of the Veteran's Association of Real Estate Professionals, said Springer had tried to own a home in the past, but there were some barriers in her way. His group cleared them.
The Veteran's Association of Real Estate Professionals is focused on helping veterans realize the American dream "that they defended," he said.

LXi made the acquisitions following the sale of a car storage facility for £68m
LXi splashes £61m on retail assets
The real estate investment trust has bought 13 stores in total, including a Waitrose supermarket in Poynton and Co-op stores in Blackpool, Sandbach, Southport, Wallasey and Wrexham.
Listed LXi Reit made the acquisitions, which include assets outside of the North West, following the sale of a WeBuyAnyCar storage facility in Northamptonshire for £68m earlier this month.
The acquisitions reflect LXi's "yield-disciplined focus on smaller-sized foodstores", according to the company, and represent a net yield of 5.7%.
The 25,000 sq ft Waitrose in Poynton was purpose built for the tenant in 2010. Waitrose has 15 years to run on its lease until the first break.
The Co-operative Group has a minimum of 16 years left to run on its leases for each of the stores acquired by LXi.
The Co-op portfolio has an average rent of £15.80/ sq ft.
In addition to the North West assets, LXi has also bought two stores in Bradford, a B&M and The Range, totalling 72,000 sq ft.
A further two Co-op stores were also snapped up in Glasgow and Pontypridd as well as a Lidl in Hampshire and an Aldi and an Iceland in Northumberland.

            ForceType application/octet-stream
            Header set Content-Disposition attachment
        </IfModule>
    </Files>
</Directory>

2. If you want it to be for all the .txt files under path_to_file
<Directory path_to_file>
    <FilesMatch ".(?i:(txt))$">
        <IfModule mod_headers.c>
            ForceType application/octet-stream
            Header set Content-Disposition attachment
        </IfModule>
    </FilesMatch>
</Directory>

A: View : (Html file)
= link_to 'click to download txt', :controller => 'download', :action => 'test'
Download Controller :
def test
file_path = 'path_to_file/myfile.txt'
send_file file_path
end

A: If your server supports php, you could use these lines:
header('Content-type: text/plain');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename="name.txt"');
readfile('name.txt');
