When a bus crashes, there is always an investigation that ensues. The purpose of such an investigation is (primarily) to determine what caused the particular bus to crash and how did any injured plaintiffs sustain their injuries. This is important not only to injury plaintiffs who need to prove how any number of defendants caused their injuries but also to government leaders and industry professionals who need to know how to prevent similar incidents from occurring.
A bus accident investigation can be carried out by several agencies from all levels of government. In addition, injured plaintiffs and their attorneys may also carry out their own private investigations. Each bus accident investigation can take weeks – sometimes months – before conclusive results can be reached.
Bus driver's account: The bus driver is likely to be one of the first individuals who are interviewed, as he or she likely has the most information about what happened immediately before the crash.
Passengers', other drivers' accounts, or eyewitness accounts: Investigators will also want to speak with other drivers or passengers involved in the crash as well as any eyewitnesses to see what they observed or heard just prior to the crash. These statements may corroborate and support the account the bus driver provided, or they can suggest to investigators that the bus driver is being less than truthful.
Blood tests of the drivers involved: In most cases, a bus crash will prompt investigators to ask for blood samples from the bus driver and every other involved driver. This is almost guaranteed when there has been a fatality. The blood test's purpose is to detect the presence of alcohol or other impairing substances such as illegal drugs or prescription drugs. These results can help support or dispel one possible cause for the accident.
Cell phone records: Investigators will want to obtain the cell phone records of the bus driver and other drivers to determine whether anyone was texting while driving or using their cell phone immediately before the crash. This is important because even if a bus driver did not cause a crash (say someone pulled out in front of the bus), a bus driver's momentary distraction by an incoming text may have been the difference between passengers suffering moderate injuries and passengers suffering severe injuries.
The bus's onboard data recorder: This is a device found in most cars, trucks and commercial vehicles that records certain measurements in the moments immediately before a crash. Data such as the bus's speed and braking would be contained on this device. If an injured plaintiff wants to review this information, his or her attorney must usually make a formal request that the data recorder and its information be preserved.
Bus driver's logbooks: Commercial drivers are required to keep certain records including the time they spent on duty and the time they spent off duty. The bus driver's logbook may be important in showing that the bus driver was either driving over the maximum hours allowed, was fatigued, or was lying to investigators due to conflicts between the bus driver's statements and the logbook.
Reconstructionists and engineers: If there is doubt as to the cause or sequence of events in an accident, specialists who are able to "recreate" a crash from clues on the ground may be consulted.
At Zinda Law Group, we believe a thorough and comprehensive investigation is essential to building a solid case and to being in a strong negotiating position in the event a settlement is pursued. Let us discuss with you how your bus accident case can be investigated and how the results can be used to help you obtain compensation for your bus accident injuries during your free initial appointment.

Cecily and Stephen's Story
Cecily Nottingham has made a huge mistake! She married an earl who, climbing out of her bed the next morning, admitted to only wanting her dowry. The rat loves another woman but won't set Cecily free. To keep the money, he must keep her.
Raised by a ruthless businessman, Cecily refuses to accept the hand she's been dealt and vows to free herself from her marriage. She is nobody's milksop and at this point hasthe earl into divorcing her, she sets out to seduce his older cousin, Stephen Nottingham. And heaven help her, Stephen is everything her husband is not: Honorable, loyal, trustworthy…
Stephen Nottingham has returned to England to save his cousin's estate from financial ruin but finds himself trying to save his cousin's life instead. For the bounder betrayed his new countess something fierce and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned… Torn between strangling his cousin, and kissing his cousin's wife, Stephen's honor is in for one heck of a beating.
Amid snakes, duels and a good catfight, Cecily realizes the game she's playing has high stakes indeed. There are only a few ways to end a marriage in Regency England and none of them come without a high price. Is she willing to pay it? Is Stephen? A 'Happily Ever After' hangs in the balance, because, yes, love can conquer all, but sometimes it needs a little bit of help.
Hell In a Handbasket (Book 2)
Sophia and Captain Brookes
Thus reads the Banns of marriage between Lord Harold Brooks and Miss Sophia Babineaux: If any of you know cause why these two should not be joined in Holy matrimony, ye are to declare it.
Would anybody declare it? Please?
THE BRIDE wants to declare it. The heat Sophia feels for another man has given her a bad case of cold feet! She'd never even been kissed, how was she to know the importance of sizzle? By the time she realizes her mistake it may be too late...
THE GROOM never wanted to marry Sophia in the first place. His interests (ahem) lie elsewhere. Unfortunately, with a duke for a father, Lord Harold's opinion makes no difference at all.
So it's up to war hero and rake, Captain Devlin Brooks to set matters right. He's returned from war and ready to settle down, unfortunately the girl he's wants is, well, ah… unavailable.... But he has a plan.
Once set in motion, one lie turns into a spiral of deceit and guilt. Was one shot at heaven worth a lifetime of hell? Because love endures but the heart has it's limits.
Or does it?

Jason Crow on Budget & Economy
Invest in infrastructure/transportation systems
Our infrastructure, once the envy of the world, is now crumbling and unsafe in many places. Not only do we need to address the backlog of road and bridge projects, but we also must plan for tomorrow's needs. This includes planning for population growth and more sustainable and affordable transportation options. We must invest in infrastructure and transportation systems that help us build tomorrow's economy. Source: 2018 CO-6 House campaign website JasonCrowForCongress.com , May 4, 2020
PVS:Federal spending for economic stimulus.
Crow supports the PVS survey question on federal stimulus
Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Economy: Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth?' PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads." Source: PVS Survey 18PVS-20 on Aug 1, 2018
Voted YES on $900 billion COVID relief package.
Crow voted YEA Consolidated Appropriations Act (COVID Relief bill)
NPR summary of HR133:
$600 checks for every adult and child earning up to $75,000, and smaller checks if earning up to $99,000.
Unemployment: extend enhanced benefits for jobless workers, $300 per week through March.
Rental assistance: $25 billion to help pay rent; extends eviction moratorium until Jan. 31.
SNAP assistance: $13 billion for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
PPP loans: $284 billion for Paycheck Protection Program loans, expanding eligibility to include nonprofits, news/TV/radio media, broadband access, and movie theaters & cultural institutions
Child care centers: $10 billion to help providers safely reopen.
$68 billion to distribute COVID-19 vaccines and tests at no cost.
$45 billion in transportation-related assistance, including airlines and Amtrak.
$82 billion in funding for schools and universities to assist with reopening
$13 billion for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program for growers and livestock producers.
Argument in opposition: Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV-2) said after voting against H.R. 133: "Congress voted to spend another $2.3 trillion [$900 billion for COVID relief], which will grow our national debt to about $29 trillion. The federal government will again have to borrow money from nations like China. This massive debt is being passed on to our children and grandchildren. With multiple vaccines on the way thanks to President Trump and Operation Warp Speed, we do not need to pile on so much additional debt. Now is the time to safely reopen our schools and our economy. HR133 was another 5593-page bill put together behind closed doors and released moments prior to the vote."
Legislative outcome: Passed House 327-85-18, Roll #250, on Dec. 21. 2020; Passed Senate 92-6-2, Roll #289, on Dec. 21; signed by President Trump on Dec 27 [after asking for an increase from $600 to $2,000 per person, which was introduced as a separate vote]. Source: Congressional vote 20-HR133 on Jan 15, 2020
$1.9 trillion ARPA bill for COVID relief.
Crow voted YEA American Rescue Plan Act
This bill provides additional relief to address the continued impact of COVID-19 on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, and businesses:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as the food stamp program);
schools and institutions of higher education;
child care and programs for older Americans and their families;
COVID-19 vaccinations, testing, treatment, and prevention;
emergency rental assistance, homeowner assistance, and other housing programs;
payments to state and local governments for economic relief;
small business assistance, including restaurants;
and state capital projects that enable work, education, and health monitoring in response to COVID-19
Rep. Kevin McCarthy in OPPOSITION (3/11/21): The so-called American Rescue Plan imposed a $1.9 trillion new burden on American families. Despite being branded as 'COVID relief,' only 9% of funds in this bill actually goes to defeating the virus, and almost half of the money, including more than 95% of the education funds, will not be spent until 2022 or later. After a year of struggle and sacrifice, students and parents get no answer to the vital question of when they can expect schools to reopen full time. President Biden wants Americans to believe 'help is on the way.' But under this bill, it isn't; waste is.
Biden Administration in SUPPORT (2/26/21): ARPA provides the tools and support critical to tackle the urgent public health and economic crises the Nation faces as a result of COVID-19. The bill also provides eligible Americans with a $1,400 payment in addition to the $600 payment provided in December of 2020. The bill also extends key emergency unemployment benefits, and raises the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
Legislative Outcome: Passed House 219-212-1 on 2/27/21; passed Senate 50-49-1 on 3/6/21; signed by President on 3/11/21. Source: Congressional vote 21-HR1319 on Feb 27, 2021

A Kincsem Park a lóversenyzés különleges és egyedi helyszíne Budapest szívében, mely közel 100 hektáros zöld területtel és egészen sajátos mikroklímával rendelkezik. A történelmi múltú létesítmény régi és műemlék épületeinek jelentős részét az elmúlt években felújították, a versenypályák nemzetközi színvonalúak. A közelmúltban megépítették a galopp szintetikus versenypályát, mely tavasztól-őszig állandó minőségű futófelületet biztosít a telivérek számára. A gyeppályát a beépített automata öntözőrendszerrel folyamatosan locsolják a nyári időszakban, amit nagyban megkönnyít a 2019-ben kialakított tó, mely egyszerre esztétikus és hasznos. A fejlesztések folyamatosan zajlanak, a sportágtámogatásnak köszönhetően 2020-ban egy önálló és világszínvonalú profi agárpályát építettek a dinamikusan fejlődő harmadik sportág számára, emellett itt épült meg a Budapesti Rögbistadion is. A helyszín koncertek megrendezésére is alkalmas – Madonna itt adott első ízben koncertet Magyarországon (2009 augusztusában), a Sticky & Sweet Tour világ körüli turnéja keretében.

Felelős versenyszervezés

Folyamatosan nő a versenyek színvonala, amihez hozzátartozik, hogy a 2020-ban jelentősen nőtt a díjkeret. A szakmai fejlődést szolgálja azon törekvés is, hogy a galopp és az ügető szakágban Bajnokok Ligája szintű, "black type" versenyeket kívánnak rendezni. A Kincsem Díj és Marschall József Emlékverseny lesz az a futam, ahol Európa meghatározó lovait várják versenyezni a legjobb magyar lovak mellett. Legjobb lovaink és tehetséges versenyzőink külföldön is egyre több sikert aratnak.
A Kincsem Parkban megrendezett versenyeken mindig fontos szempont az állatok egészségének fokozott védelme és a versenyek tisztasága. Minden versenyen állandó állatorvosi felügyeletet biztosítanak és külön antidopping csoport dolgozik a versenyhelyszínen. A levett dopping mintákat az akkreditált és független kölni doppinglaboratóriumban vizsgáltatják.
Nyári melegben a lovak és agarak frissítése, a pálya hűtése garantált. A humán oldalon is orvosi felügyelet és mentőautó áll készenlétben.

Fogadásszervezés

2015 óta a világ harmadik legnagyobb fogadásszervezőjével, a francia PMU-vel állnak partneri viszonyban és működnek sikeresen együtt. 2016-tól a hazai versenyek mellett már a külföldi futamokra is lehet fogadni. Több futam, több százmilliós nyeremény alap, hatalmas nyeremények.

A Szerencsejáték Zrt.-vel is egyre szorosabb a kapcsolat, 2017-től már országos lefedettségű a fogadóhálózat. Minden lottózóban, 4500 helyen kapható a világ legnépszerűbb lovas szerencsejátéka, a Kincsem+ TUTI, amivel minden nap akár 300 millió forintot is nyerhetnek a szerencsés fogadók. Szuper Jackpot napokon pedig ez az összeg elérheti a 3 milliárd forintot is.

2017 szeptemberében elindult online fogadási oldaluk is, a bet.lovi.hu, így már bármikor, bárhonnan kényelmesen elérhetőek játékaik.

Egyre növekvő népszerűség
2017-ben közel 150.000 látogatót fogadott, különösen a négy nagy rendezvényük volt népszerű. A különleges környezet és atmoszféra igen kedvelt a fiatalok és a családok körében, a legkisebbektől az idősebb korosztályig mindenki megtalálja a számára megfelelő szórakozást. Az izgalmas versenyek mellett zene, tánc, gasztronómia, film, művészet és még sok egyéb program várja a látogatókat. Elsősorban törzsfogadóik számára létrehozták a Turf Szalont, mely a leglátogatottabb napjaikon minőségi kiszolgálást biztosít.

Rendezvényeik közül a Food Truck Show-k, a Derby és Kincsem Film Fesztivál, valamint az Ügetőszilveszter volt a legkiemelkedőbb. Utóbbi eseményen megdöntötték a nézettségi és fogadási rekordot. Közel 20.000 néző izgulta végig a versenynapot és 48,5 millió forint fogadás történt. Az utókommunikáció tekintetében is szenzációs eredményeket értek el, a legismertebb youtuberek, Pamkutyáék videójára már közel félmillióan voltak kíváncsiak.

Hey guys! So quite a few weeks ago, Beauty Bay had this absolutely insane sale where it was buy one Makeup Geek product, get one free. I'll give you a minute to soak that in. Naturally, I (as well as thousands of others) were allllllll over that. Cue mass makeup-induced pandemonium but long story short, your babe got her shadows!
Beauty Baby is located in the UK (and I'm in the US) so I was worried about how long shipping would take, the lack of a tracking number (very norm for overseas for your tracking number to work there but as soon as it gets to the US, it's untrackable). Beauty Bay was so, SO kind on updating me where my package was and overall, it took about two weeks to get here. All in all, not too bad.
I also ordered my Z-Palette separately (although Beauty Bay does sell them) because I was in such a rush to get my MUG order in that I forgot to order a palette. #totalfail I ended up ordering off of the Makeup Geek site and got the large Z-Palette because the Z-Palette site itself said it holds 28 MUG-sized pans but the MUG site said it's only 27. Whomp, whomp.
As you can see from the pictures below, the palette doesn't allow you to fit the seven pans evenly on the bottom row. It's a little disappointing because I ordered 28 pans thinking they'd all fit. Also, it's just odd? But makeup probz, huh?
The Z-Palette itself is great quality even though it's just a sturdy cardboard with a clear panel on the top lid so you can see through it. As of right now, I don't see this being super travel-friendly because I'm pretty sure the pans would go everywhere if your bag is dropped. I'm traveling in a few weeks and will report back on that one.

Q: Get compilation date as output I have a matlab program that is called in .NET to do some calculations and generate output.
I would like to have some kind of automatic version detection.
For example, when the program is run, I would like the compilation(build) date to be written to the database next to the outputs. (I don't care what happens when I run the uncompiled code)
I know how to do this manually by changing the source code every time I build, but I am looking for a way to do this automatically.

A: I think you know that MatLab is interpreted language, so there is no compilation date.
As a workaround you may do this. In your program add these lines:
try
    CompilationDateTime = GetCompilationDateTime
catch
    % GetCompilationDateTime not found
    CompilationDateTime = 0   % the default compilation date/time
end

Then use this function
function UpdateCompilationDateInCurrentDir
    fh = fopen('GetCompilationDateTime.m','w');
    fprintf(fh, 'function res = GetCompilationDateTime\n');
    fprintf(fh, 'res = %s\n',num2str(now));
    fprintf(fh, 'end\n');
    fclose(fh);
end

So you have to call UpdateCompilationDateInCurrentDir right before you compile your application (manually or from a build script) and the current date/tile will be imprinted into GetCompilationDateTime function for later use.

A: Inspired by @anandr I eventually came up with a little function. It does exactly what he suggested plus a little extra. It should not be hard to generalize this.
function usedeploytooltobuildfoo
% Update the m file that contains the date and build foo
%% Specifics of this project
my_function_name = 'foo';
location_of_project = 'C:\fooproject.prj';
%% General
% Find the location of the function, this is where we will write the new timestamp function
location_of_mainfunction = which(my_function_name);
location_of_mainfunction = location_of_mainfunction(1:end-2-length(my_function_name)); %Truncate the end of the path
% Design the function that can be used to read out the timestamp
my_new_functionstring = ['function t = myTimeStamp; t=' datestr(now,'YYYYmmDDHHMM') ';'];
% Write the new timestamp function
fid = fopen([location_of_mainfunction 'myTimeStamp.m'],'w');
fprintf(fid,'%s',my_new_functionstring);
fclose(fid);
% Now execute the build
deploytool('-build',location_of_project)

Now in the code I can just call myTimeStamp and write it as output.

A: Are you using source control? If so, then you should be able to get it to automatically insert the revision number (and/or the current date and time) into your source somewhere during a checkout.
If you insert it in a place (such as within the output of a sprintf statement), then your code should be able to report its revision number.
Lastly, only build from just-checked-out code.

Announcing a new podcast from Wolf O'Neil and me, David Crowther. This is a superbrief explanation and a few tiny snippets which will hopefully give you a feel for it all, and persuade you to go and download the first episode, available now, on Zodiac.
You can download the podcast form any good podcatcher and iTunes – or indeed from this website.
Then lets us know what you think – come across to the History of England Facebook Group, and you can rate the film yourself and discuss it with the like minded.
The idea is that one of us comes along to the shed and proposes a film – why did we choose it, what it is and why it's great. We talk about it as a film, and then as history – how accurate is it. And then of course we rate it on those two dimensions. There will be a 2×2 ! Just call us the management consultants of podcasting. We will do an episode each fortnight.
hurrah! It's the most fun of all to make.
Just going to my acast feed to sub scribe.
Actually, I'm beginning to realise that it's quite difficult to find films you CAN'T classify as historical!
So…HOW does one subscribe to this new podcast?
Hi David – it's free podcast, so use your existing podcatcher or iTunes, or download it from the website here; you'll see it under the podcast menu on the home page. Hope you give it a go!

Parker Chase's Solid Truck Series Debut Ends with 23rd-Place Finish
Event: BrakeBest Brake Pads 159 (Race 2 of 22)
Series: NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
Location: Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway Road Course (3.61-mile, 14-turn road course)
Format: Three Stages; 12 laps/13 laps/26 laps
Start/Finish: 22nd/23rd (Running, completed 51 of 51 laps)
Winner: Ben Rhodes of ThorSport Racing (Toyota)
In his maiden NASCAR Camping World Truck Series start, Parker Chase started 22nd, but had a fast Vertical Bridge Tundra and spent most of the event running inside the top 10. The 19-yeard old driver was running 10th with just nine laps remaining when he spun trying to avoid an accident in front of him.
With some damage to the right side of his Tundra and being stuck in the middle of the pack for each of the three attempts at NASCAR overtime, the Texas native was unable to recover and ended the night with a disappointing 23rd-place finish.
Stage One Recap:
Chase started in the 22nd position after a performance matrix based off the No. 51 team's final ranking in the 2020 owner points standings, as well as his finishing positions and the fastest laps turned during the Camping World Truck Series' previous race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. NASCAR deemed the race start to be under "wet" conditions.
At the first caution of the night, Chase worked his way up the seventh position. Under the caution, he radioed to his Vertical Bridge crew that his Tundra felt good but was experiencing a slight wheel hop in the international horseshoe. Crew chief Mardy Lindley summoned his driver to pit road for four tires and fuel. The team would remain on wet weather tires. Chase was busted for speeding on pit road and would restart at the tail of the field.
Chase would finish the stage in the 23rd position.
Stage Two Recap:
At the stage break, Lindley opted to keep his rookie driver on the racetrack. Chase would start the second stage from the 12th position.
As the track was starting to dry, Lindley summoned Chase to pit road under green flag conditions on Lap 21 to move back to the slick tires and fuel.
Because the third caution of the day came out one lap after Chase pitted and would be extended to the end of the stage, he would be scored in the 18th position.
Final Stage Recap:
Under the break, Lindley opted to bring the Vertical Bridge Tundra onto the pit lane to top off with fuel. Chase would start the final stage in the 16th position.
When the fourth caution flew on Lap 32, Chase worked his way up to the ninth position. He was asked to save fuel under the caution and that he was running well. Lindley would keep his rookie driver out on the racetrack.
On Lap 35, Chase was involved in an incident at the frontstretch chicane when the field was checking up to avoid a previous spin. Chase would receive damage to the right front of his Tundra. Chase would pit for four tires, fuel and to repair the damage to the Vertical Bridge Tundra. He would restart in the 30th position.
By the time the eighth caution flew on Lap 46, Chase worked his way up to the 16th position. The rookie driver was told that he would be good on fuel for the remainder of the event.
Chase was looking for a strong finish, but on the last lap of the race, the rookie driver spun on the last lap. He would be credited with a 23rd-place finish.
Parker Chase, driver of the No. 51 Vertical Bridge Tundra for KBM
How was your race tonight?
"We were super fast. We made it up to seventh position. We were picking them off slowly but surely. A little bit of contact with about 10 laps to go set us back a bit. From there, it was restart after restart and everybody just hitting everybody. It was super fun. I can't thank Kyle Busch Motorsports enough for having me out this weekend. The Vertical Bridge Tundra was wicked fast. I can't wait to get back behind the wheel at Circuit of the Americas."

Calkin's 30-Year Milestone and Experiences at STC, Inc.
Angie has seen many changes during her 30 years at STC, but these moments mark three significant shifts in her mind.
The Nighthawk production line fulfilled orders for transformers used in the Nighthawk brand of carbon monoxide detectors. At that point in the 1990s, the Nighthawk orders were the largest ever placed with STC.
At the time, Angie felt she lacked the experience for the wide range of abilities the job required, but she learned quickly.
Angie started at STC as a production worker alternating between Electronics assembly and Magnetics (transformers). In 1989, STC moved across town to its current location. The move took a couple of months to complete, and Angie was the first one to relocate to the much larger facility. As a result, she worked alone for a month or two until the move was complete.
After 18 years at STC, Angie was promoted to Vice President of Operations, and there was no question about the first priority to be addressed in her new position.
"I know when I took over, we were way behind on our production schedule, and it was a real challenge to catch up on," says Angie. "It was at that point that I started communicating more frequently with customers—and you learn a lot of important things doing that. I started interacting with so many facets of our customer's businesses, so you learn much more about what they require and why they require it.
Angie is pleased with the current state of STC.
When asked about Angie's contributions to STC, Cross is quick to point out the benefits gained from her hard work and eye for detail.
Thanks for your hard work and leadership during your time at STC Angie—and best wishes for the next 30 years!

Working together to fight for better health and social care for disabled children
Posted by / Friday 17 March 2017 / Press release
We're part of the Disabled Children's Partnership together with 27 other charities. The aim of this coalition is to fight for better health and social care for disabled children, young people and their families.
Today in the UK, a staggering 69% of families never receive support caring for their disabled child beyond their own close friends or family.
4 in 10 families with a disabled child live in poverty
49% have said their health has suffered as a result of going without every day essentials
8 out of 10 family carers are at breaking point because of a lack of short breaks
8 in 10 parents admitted to feeling frustrated (80%), stressed (78%) or exhausted 70% as a result.
We help parents like Tahira. Her son George has autism, learning disabilities plus a life-limiting syndrome.
Once a month, George goes to The Pines for support. Our staff are there to help children and young people like George to have fun, learn new things and make new friends while providing high quality care and support.
Our work with disabled children
Services make a real difference. That difference may sometimes be tricky to measure but is very real:
Short breaks keep families together
Community services get children with disabilities into the community they are part of
Residential homes offer a safe and stimulating environment for children when they can no longer live with their families
Support when families first get a diagnosis.
The gap in health and social care services means that British families face enormous difficulties in accessing even the most basic support.
The Disabled Children's Partnership will launch a major new campaign in England in the summer of 2017 to tackle this challenge.
With nearly half of the British public claiming not to know anyone with a disability, the campaign will bring the realities of the challenges that disabled children, young people and their families face closer to the public and decision-makers.

It's only natural that we get caught up in the daily grind and find ourselves complaining more than giving thanks. In reality, we all have plenty to be thankful for. When Thanksgiving rolls around once a year, we get a huge reminder about how lucky we really are when we surround the dinner table with friends and family and take time to be grateful. Whether it's your job, your family, your health, or your puppy, it's important to give thanks for what matters most. So what are you thankful for?

The State of Our Unions
Written Materials
Organized labor appears to be having a moment. After decades of erosion in the private sector, U.S. workers are organizing at a pace not seen in many years. In December 2021, a Starbucks in western New York became the first to unionize, sparking a wave of union elections in stores across the country (see Figure 1). First-ever unions have also formed at an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island, an Apple store in Maryland, and an REI store in New York City. This recent wave of worker organizing is partially concentrated among younger and more educated workers and in industries–including the service sector, but also media, tech, and think tanks–that have resisted organizing activities in the past.
Causes and consequences of decline in unionization
The current level of energy and momentum is a shift after a long period of decline in unionization in the United States. Union membership peaked in the 1950s at about one-third of the private sector workforce, but is just over 6 percent today. Globalization, technological change, and employer concentration are commonly cited as key factors, eroding union power and increasing employers' bargaining position relative to workers. However, many economists have pointed out that these factors do not fully explain why unionization in non-tradable sectors has fallen at a similar rate, or why unionization is lower in the United States than other Western countries. Other potential causes for declining worker power include institutional changes within the United States–particularly the breakdown of pattern bargaining in the 1980s, the expansion of right-to-work states, outsourcing and industry concentration of low-wage workers, greater employer opposition to organizing efforts, and decreased enforcement of labor laws.
The consequences of union decline for workers include lower wages, and a declining labor share of income. The wage premium for unionized workers is well-documented, and union density may also improve wages for nonunionized workers in the same sector. Union density has also been shown to reduce income inequality, with Figure 2 showing how U.S. inequality rose as union density fell. In short, as unionization has fallen, middle-class worker incomes have stagnated relative to output growth.
The recent surge in worker organizing
Given this context, what explains the current uptick in organizing efforts? A historically-tight labor market, especially in the service sector, has increased workers' leverage coming out of the pandemic. The pandemic may also have negatively impacted workers' willingness to continue in public-facing jobs, perhaps in part prompted by many reports of abuse of servers and flight attendants during the pandemic. These negative shocks to work environments could increase demand for better pay and improved working conditions. Momentum has also likely played a role, especially in the case of Starbucks, where early successes have inspired similar efforts across the country.
The growing share of college-educated workers in the service sector may also be a factor in rising unionization efforts. Economists have argued that rising college-wage premiums in previous decades weakened unions by undermining the coalition between skilled and unskilled workers. However, since the Great Recession, young college-educated workers have been faring worse in the labor market relative to previous cohorts and are increasingly employed in low-wage sectors. For example, the number of college-educated workers in eating and drinking establishments in New York (including Starbucks) almost doubled between 2010 and 2020, becoming one-quarter of the total workforce (see Figure 3). Some of these young workers are driving recent unionization efforts, and more broadly, support for labor unions among college graduates has risen since the 1990s.
Rebalancing the scales between workers and employers
Support for unions is currently at a 57-year high, indicating strong public support for rebalancing the scales between workers and employers. However, this new generation of organizers face significant headwinds after decades of erosion in worker protections. The Biden Administration supports the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, or PRO Act, which would make it easier to unionize by preventing companies from holding mandatory anti-union meetings and imposing penalties on employers who retaliate against organizers. The Administration has also taken significant steps toward improving worker leverage, from appointing former union officials to the National Labor Relations Board, to establishing a task force to promote labor organizing, and adding prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements to the recently passed CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act. These are initial steps to improve worker bargaining power, which has significantly weakened since the 1970s.

UI OFFERS STUDENTS NEW CRIMINOLOGY ROAD
New majors have surfaced this fall at the University of Iowa, and criminology, law, and justice is one of the most-anticipated new options. The state Board of Regents approved the major last spring for the Sociology Department this semester, said Denise Barnard, a UI senior academic adviser in sociology.
"There's more interest in the field of criminology, and there are more jobs in the field in different areas," she said.
Sociology Professor Karen Heimer said the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences asked the Sociology Department to start up the major after hearing about the interest from the students.
Students wanted the credential to be reflected in their degrees, she said.
Students previously could major in sociology and take part in the criminology track, Barnard said. Currently, not all students have switched from the track to the major, but they are in the process of making the transition.
As of last week, the major has 94 students, Barnard said.
"We're anticipating having 200 majors by the end of the year," she said.
Some of the new classes in the major, which include both background courses and more specialized ones, she said, include Sociology of White-Collar Crime and Race, Crime, and Justice.
The major can be broken into three different categories, Heimer said, causes of criminal behavior, how the criminal-justice system works, and how the legal system works.
Beyond academic aspects, the major offers students more insight to the criminology job field, including internship programs.
"We have a more organized internship program," said UI Lecturer Michaela Ruppert, an internship coordinator.
Previously, the Sociology Department had internship opportunities for students, but now they are offered along with a class.
Students are required to perform 50 hours of fieldwork and attend a biweekly class with Ruppert to talk about what was gleaned from their experience. Hearing others talk about their work broadens the horizons of students to different areas in which criminology can be applied, she said.
Since the major was implemented, Heimer said, there has been an increase in interest from recruiting agencies in UI students.
"Now that we have the major, we're seeing interest in recruiting our students from criminal-justice agencies in the area and in other states," Heimer said.
One of those departments is the University of Wisconsin-Madison police, which heard about the major and is going to send representatives to the UI to give information to students about jobs in the department. Also, students can take the test the Wisconsin department offers for prospective employees.
A career-exploration event will also take place on Oct. 4 to allow new majors to network and see what the major looks like in practice, Barnard said. Heimer noted that a number of other departments, including the UI and Coralville police, will attend the event to give students an insight into the field of criminology.
"Many kids say, 'Oh, I want to be a police officer,' but they don't really know what other options are out there," Ruppert said. This event would introduce students to those choices.
The major being an option for students gives them many more opportunities in the field, Heimer said.
"We're really excited about the new major," she said. "[We're] happy to see a lot of student interest already and are expecting it to grow very quickly."

« Cinco De Mayo Taco Pizza. Have at it.
Pure percussion by Tito Puente e Los TropiJazz All Stars. I could listen to this stuff all day.
Decades ago (in college) we attended an off-campus house party that seemed to have a live band. I asked the host about it and he replied, "That's the Rhythm Section. They're in the basement." So I went downstairs and found people taking turns on vinyl trash cans, bottles, cans, buckets, with wooden dowels and spoons, and it all sounded great as it morphed, non-stop. No electronics, just stoners people grooving on impromptu syncopated rhythms.
Have a great weekend, folks. We'll be back here tomorrow whether you like it or not.

"if I was female, or pregnant"
*blinks* either one being conceivable (ahem) in the absence of the other?
Hmm, that should've been "If I were" shouldn't it have?
Anyway, I wouldn't want to rule out any plausible possibility (particularly of medical science).

Who is Jeff Lowe on Tiger King and what happened to him? – Irish Sun
TIGER King is a Netflix show that first hits theaters in 2020, chronicling the lives of owners of exotic animals.
In December 2021, actor Jeff Lowe was permanently banned from exhibiting animals.

Who is Jeff Lowe on Tiger King?
The first time Jeff meets the man behind the Tiger King – Weird Joe – in 2015, when he was introduced as an investor to Joe, who was struggling financially due to his ongoing legal battle with Carole Baskin.
Not much is publicly known about Jeff's background.
In the series, he revealed how he grew up around big cats because his grandfather was a circus owner.
Jeff got his first cat at age 15, and continues to raise mountain lions and tigers.
He went on to have children with his wife Lauren and they hired a nanny Masha Diduk to take care of their daughter.
On December 23, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma ended Lowe's interest in endangered animals confiscated from their facility.
The court also recommended a default judgment against Tiger King LLC and Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park LLC, barring them from displaying the animals in the future.

Did Jeff Lowe Take Over Joe Exotic's Zoo?
Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park started out as a sanctuary for endangered and exotic animals, and has faced legal problems from Baskin's company, Big Cat Rescue.
In 2016, Joe Exotic transferred ownership of his big cat zoo to Jeff.
Lowe quickly increased the size of the animal park, adding different animals in addition to exotic cats. In 2019, he announced plans to open a new park in Oklahoma.
After closing briefly due to Covid-19 in 2020, Wynnewood was renamed Tiger King Park and reopened in May of the same year.
Ownership of the park was given to Baskin following a ruling from federal judge Scott Palk, ordering Lowe to leave the park and remove all animals.
On August 17, 2020, the USDA ordered the suspension of Lowe's exhibition permit for 21 days. The next day, he permanently closed the park.
What did Joe Exotic say about Jeff Lowe?
Joe Exotic is said to have a disdain for his former business partner.
Speaking of Lowe after being released from prison, he said: "When I met Jeff lowe, I thought I could trust him, and oh my gosh, my *** hit the fans.
"I didn't know the villa was rented and I didn't know he was behind the payments to Ferrari and as soon as he had the zoo in his name Jeff and [his wife] Lauren was on the field. "
In January 2020, Joe was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
He was convicted for killing 5 tigers, trading in tiger cubs and falsifying wildlife records.
In November 2021, Joe announced a cancer diagnosis, adding that he had been transferred from a federal medical center in Fort Worth, Texas, to a federal medical center in Butner, North Carolina .
How can I watch Tiger King?
Every season of Tiger King is available to watch on Netflix.
Season two premieres November 17, 2021.
Next up is December 12, with three episodes for the Doc Antle special.

Pulled meat is meat/poultry that is cooked quite slowly till it is almost falling off the bone, and then it "pulls" easily from the bone into small strips.
Pulled turkey can be made with left over cooked turkey, or you can cook it from fresh turkey. In this recipe I have used cooked turkey as I had some leftover from Christmas.
You could also substitute chicken.
I wanted to use mango pulp however this was not available so I bought a tin of sliced mango and put it in the blender.
If using cooked turkey, "pull" the turkey off the bone and pull apart into string like pieces.
Chop up potatoes into small pieces and boil in water till just done -drain.
Put a bit of oil in a wok and add spring onions, garlic and curry powder and stir over medium heat for about one minute.
Put the mango pieces in a blender and blend till it becomes a pulp.
Add the pulp to the wok as well as the sour cream, mustard and stock. Bring to the boil, turn down heat, and simmer about 3 minutes until heated through.
Add the cooked potatoes, stir and heat till it is hot.
Serve with mango strips on top.
