A home equity loan can be an affordable and accessible way to buy your log cabin. If you've owned your home for some time it's likely that the equity you've built up there can be a great source of capital to use in acquiring your dream cabin.
Home Equity Loans come in all shapes and sizes. Currently, there are home equity loans available at 4.65% that are interest only, which allow you to pay $262.50 per month in interest only on a $70,000 loan. That low payment could allow you to stay in your home for a number of years, enjoy your cabin, then sell your home and move into the cabin full time if you want to.
Log cabins are often enjoyed with a group of friends or family, so it can make sense to share the cost of a cabin among all the parties. A $70,000 vacation property with a log cabin split among four friends is only $17,500 per person. That's less than the cost of some new Harley Davidsons, and your stake in the property will likely increase in value! Plus, you can enjoy the investment with your friends and family for decades.
If you choose to team up with friends or family on a cabin, make sure you avoid any of the pitfalls you could fall into. Men's Journal shared some excellent advice in this article about how to own property with friends, and stay friends. Clearly spell out who is responsible for maintenance, what happens if someone wants out of the partnership, and so forth.
Modular and prefab cabins are extremely affordable compared to their traditional log home counterparts. A surprising number of Riverwood Cabin customers simply write a personal check for their cabin. If you have disposable income, a Riverwood Cabin is one of the best investments in your family you can make.

← Lt. Ephraim Morton
Ephraim Kempton Jr →
George Morton (Pilgrim Father)
George MORTON (George Mourt) (c. 1585 – 1624) was an English Puritan Separatist. (Wikipedia) He published and wrote the introduction to the first account in Great Britain of the founding of Plymouth Colony, called Mourt's Relation. George was Alex's 10th Great Grandfather; one of 2,048 in this generation of the Miller line.
Morton – Coat of Arms
George Morton was born 2 Aug 1585 in Harworth, near Scrooby, Nottingham, England or Bawtry, South Yorkshire, England. His parents were George MORTON and Catherine BOWN (Boun). His parents may have been Roman Catholic. About 1600 when still very young, he was converted by (our ancestor) William BREWSTER to Puritanism. He was a member of the Scrooby Congregation of separatists who eventually became the Mayflower Pilgrims. He had moved to Leyden, Holland with the congregation and stayed behind as their financial agent when the first settlers left for Plymouth, Massachusetts.
George published "Mourts Relation" (1622) which gives the earliest account of the Pilgrim enterprise.
He married Juliana CARPENTER on 22 Jul 1612 Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands. He was possessed of considerable means, was entered in his marriage record as a merchant from York, was apparently one of the financial mainstays of the Pilgrims at Leyden, and was certainly closely associated with the leaders. He was one of those who went to London in 1619 to negotiate with the merchants, living probably at Aldgate, where his brother-in-law, Edward Southworth, was already established. Here he changed his name to Mourt, perhaps to escape the displeasure of his Catholic relatives. After the Mayflower sailed, he was financial agent at London for the Pilgrims and continued to orchestrate business affairs in Europe and London for their cause, arranging for the 1622 publication of, and perhaps helping write, Mourt's Relation. In 1623 Morton himself emigrated on the ship Ann to Plymouth Colony with his wife Juliana Carpenter and her sister, Alice Southworth, who was to become the second wife of Governor William Bradford. George Morton died in 1624, the year after he arrived in Plymouth. After Morton's death, Governor Bradford took a keen interest in helping to raise the Morton children, adopting our ancestor Lt. Ephraim MORTON.
Juliana Carpenter was born 7 Mar 1584 in Wrington, Somerset, England. Her parents were Alexander CARPENTER and Priscilla (Druscilla) DILLON. After George died, she married Manasseh Kempton before May 1627. Juliana died 29 Feb 1665/66.
Manasseh Kempton was baptized on 26 Feb 1589/90 at Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland. His parents were George KEMPTON and Mary JERSEY. His younger brother Ephraim KEMPTON came to Plymouth by 1642. Manasseh died on 14 Jan 1662/63, in Plymouth.
Manasseh (also written Manasses) Manasseh went to Colchester, Essex where he may have become involved with a Separatist congregation. From there, he joined Henry Jacob's Separatist congregation in London in 1620. He came over on the Anne as a single man in 1623. He was a freeman of Plymouth in 1633. He served as a deputy to the Plymouth General Court and on a number of juries and committees. He owned land in several towns besides Plymouth, including Eastham and Dartmouth, much of which he gave to his stepchildren.

George's grandfather was Anthony MORTON. Anthony's sister Alice married William Bradford (1533-1595) a prosperous Yeoman farmer, was apparently the first Bradford to settle in Austerfield. George Morton was therefore, a second cousin to Gov. William Bradford.
In 1577 William Bradford had purchased from Anthony Morton; land and houses in Austerfield and Bawtry (in Yorkshire); and land in Mission (in Nottinghamshire). He already owned lands in Tickhill and Bentley from his parents and grandparents. Even before this purchase, in 1575, he and John Hanson were the only taxed inhabitants of Austerfield. Bradford was assessed 20s on his land, whereas John Hanson was assessed 60s on "goods". The accepted genealogy has him as the son of Peter Bradfourth (1475-1542).
William Bradford and Alice Morton had a daughter Elizabeth BRADFORD who married another of our ancestors Cuthbert FORSTER (c. 1544 – 1589)
Back to George Morton (Pilgrim Father)
First Known Record of George Morton (in Holland)
"George Morton, merchant from York in England, accompanied by Thomas Morton, his brother, and Roger Wilson, his acquaintance, with Juliana Carpenter, maid from Bath in England, accompanied by Alexander Carpenter, her father, and Alice Carpenter, her sister, and Anna Robinson, her acquaintance.
George is listed as the compiler of "Mourt's Relation" (1622) which gives the earliest account of the Pilgrim enterprise. He may have wrote the preface and gave the book to the press; the bulk being written by Edward Winslow. It was the first published book about the Colony. It provides the only contemporary report on the voyage of the Mayflower, the first days of Plymouth Colony and a brief account of the first Harvest Celebration (Thanksgiving). When published in 1622 it was a 76 page collection of misc. documents and letters. The full title is "George Mourt, comp., A Relation or Journall of the Beginnings and Proceedings of the English Plantation Settled at Plimoth in New England, by Certaine English Adventurers Both Merchants and Others."
He received the writings sent in the Fortune from Plymouth in 1622, and published them under the title: "A Relation or Journall of the beginning and proceedings of the English Plantation setled at Plimoth in New England…London, Printed for John Bellamie" (1622), which is still the only contemporary account of the voyage of the Mayflower and the first months of the colony. Tradition has assigned to him the authorship, and it has always been known as "Mourt's Relation". It has been conjectured that Bradford and Winslow were the authors and Morton merely the publisher, but since the narrative Bradford wrote and sent back on the Fortune was retained by the captain of the French privateer which captured the Fortune on its return voyage (Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series, 1574-1660, 1860, p. 124), it is possible that Morton wrote a narrative from information brought back by those returning on the Mayflower and teh Fortune and published it together with material by Winslow and others not retained by the French captain. The authorship of the book cannot now be definitively established.
The book Mourt's Relation (full title: A Relation or Journal of the Beginning and Proceedings of the English Plantation Settled at Plimoth in New England) was written primarily by Edward Winslow, although William Bradford appears to have written most of the first section. Written between November 1620 and November 1621, it describes in detail what happened from the landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims inside the fishhook tip of Cape Cod (became Provincetown Harbor), through their exploring and eventual settling of Plymouth Colony; the book describes their relations with the surrounding native Indians, up to the First Thanksgiving and the arrival of the ship Fortune in November 1621. Mourt's Relation was first published in London in 1622, by George Morton, sometimes called George Mourthence the title "Mourt's Relation"). The purpose of Mourt's Relation was clear: to paint the new settlement in the brightest possible hues.
Juliana and Manasseh Kempton
23 Oct 1643 – Peregrine White of Marshfield, the first child born to the Pilgrims in the New World. sold to "Mannasses Kempton of Plymouth … planter … all those his uplands and meadows lying at the Eel River in Plymouth Township aforesaid lately assigned and confirmed unto the said Peregrine by Mr. Edward Winslow in the public court held at Plymouth the twenty-eight of September Anno Domini 1642"

22 Feb 1650/51 "Mannasses Kemton of Plymouth, planter", gave to his "son-in-law Ephraim Morton" a parcel of land and a parcel of meadow at Sagaquas and his part and right in the land at Satuket. In case Morton's brothers wished to settle on the land, Kempton ordered that it be divided equally among them.
22 June 1651 – Edward BANGS of Eastham, yeoman, and Rebecca his wife, sold to "Mannasses Kemton" of Plymouth, yeoman, forty acres of upland in Plymouth
Kempton was one of those having an interest in the lands at Punckateesett near Rhode Island March 1651 and he shared lot #34 with Nathaniel Morton
Manasseh Kempton was one of the Dartmouth Purchasers
On 21 Feb 1660/61 "Mannasses Kemton" of Plymouth, yeoman, deeded to Ephraim Morton of Plymouth "the one half of all that his lot or share of land commonly called the purchase land lying and being at Acushena, Coaksett and places adjacent both upland and meadow"

Children and Descendants
Morton Chest with Drawer Red and white oak
Probably made in Plymouth, 1650-1700
Descended in the Morton family of Plymouth
Pilgrim Hall Museum
Chests of drawers as we know them today became popular almost 300 years ago.
Before that, people in England and America had chests with one drawer at the bottom, like this one, or without drawers.
This chest has remains of the original decoration: a bright red tulip with green leaves, painted in vermilion and verdigris. When the chest was new, the wood was pale and the decoration would have been very dramatic
1. Nathaniel Morton
Nathaniel's wife Lydia Cooper was born about 1615. She came to Plymouth Colony with her brother John COOPER about the year 1632. In 1634 Lydia's brother John married Nathaniel's aunt Priscilla Carpenter, widow of William Wright and daughter of Alexander CARPENTER. Lydia & John Cooper also have a sister, Ann Cooper who died 1 Sept 1691 in Massachusetts; The parents of Lydia, John & Ann Cooper are not known. However, their grandfather may be Thomas COOPER of Fluton with Silsoe, Bedfordshire, England. This line needs further research;
Nathaniel's second wife Hannah Pritchard was born about 1624. Her parents were Richard Pritchard and Anne [__?__]. She was the widow of Richard Templar. Hannah died 26 Dec 1690 in Charlestown, Suffolk, Mass.
Nathaniel Morton became the clerk of Plymouth Colony, a close adviser to his uncle Governor William Bradford, who raised him after the death of his father, and the author of an influential early history of the Plymouth Colony, "New England's Memorial."
In a tradition at The Wall Street Journal, the newspaper has run for four decades a portion of Nathaniel Morton's book, its observation of the first Thanksgiving, on the Wednesday before the holiday.
Here beginneth the chronicle of those memorable circumstances of the year 1620, as recorded by Nathaniel Morton, keeper of the records of Plymouth Colony, based on the account of William Bradford, sometime governor thereof:
So they left that goodly and pleasant city of Leyden, which had been their resting-place for above eleven years, but they knew that they were pilgrims and strangers here below, and looked not much on these things, but lifted up their eyes to Heaven, their dearest country, where God hath prepared for them a city (Heb. XI, 16), and therein quieted their spirits.
When they came to Delfs-Haven they found the ship and all things ready, and such of their friends as could not come with them followed after them, and sundry came from Amsterdam to see them shipt, and to take their leaves of them. One night was spent with little sleep with the most, but with friendly entertainment and Christian discourse, and other real expressions of true Christian love.
The next day they went on board, and their friends with them, where truly doleful was the sight of that sad and mournful parting, to hear what sighs and sobs and prayers did sound amongst them; what tears did gush from every eye, and pithy speeches pierced each other's heart, that sundry of the Dutch strangers that stood on the Key as spectators could not refrain from tears. But the tide (which stays for no man) calling them away, that were thus loath to depart, their Reverend Pastor, falling down on his knees, and they all with him, with watery cheeks commended them with the most fervent prayers unto the Lord and His blessing; and then with mutual embraces and many tears they took their leaves one of another, which proved to be the last leave to many of them.
Being now passed the vast ocean, and a sea of troubles before them in expectations, they had now no friends to welcome them, no inns to entertain or refresh them, no houses, or much less towns, to repair unto to seek for succour; and for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters of the country know them to be sharp and violent, subject to cruel and fierce storms, dangerous to travel to known places, much more to search unknown coasts.
Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wilde beasts and wilde men? and what multitudes of them there were, they then knew not: for which way soever they turned their eyes (save upward to Heaven) they could have but little solace or content in respect of any outward object; for summer being ended, all things stand in appearance with a weatherbeaten face, and the whole country, full of woods and thickets, represented a wild and savage hew.
If they looked behind them, there was a mighty ocean which they had passed, and was now as a main bar or gulph to separate them from all the civil parts of the world.
Nathaniel early became Bradford's assistant in the management of public affairs, and by annual popular vote was secretary of the colony from 7 Dec., 1647, until his death. Almost all the records of the Plymouth colony are in his handwriting. He read extensively, and took great pains to note down the incidents of the early days of the colony, which he published under the title of "New England's Memorial, or a Brief Relation of the most Memorable and Remarkable Passages of the Providence of God manifested to the Planters of New England" (Cambridge, Mass., 1669). This work, compiled at the request of the commissioners of the four united colonies, was chiefly attested as correct by the most eminent survivors of the earlier generations.
New England Memorial by Nathaniel Morton 1669
He also wrote a "Synopsis of the Church History of Plymouth" (1680), and he was the author of numerous verses in commemoration of the virtues of the Pilgrims. Plymouth Public Schools named Nathaniel Morton Elementary School after him.
Patience's first husband John Faunce was born by about 1608, based on estimated date of marriage. " John died in Plymouth, 29 November 1653.
John and Patience came to New England aboard the Anne, 1623. They married in 1633. In addition to being a planter, John was a businessman, designated as one of the Purchasers for the colony. John was not a member of the original Scrooby group, but was a "stranger" recruited by the merchant adverturers who financed the colony.
Patience's second husband Thomas Whitten was born in 1599, England. He died in 1673 in Plymouth, Mass. A broadweaver who came from Benenden, Kent, to New England in 1635 and settled at Plymouth MA. (On 8 May 1635, "Awdry Whitton," aged 45, was enrolled at London as a passenger for New England on the Elizabeth & Ann; on 1 May 1635, "Jeremy Whitton," aged 8, & "bro[ad] weaver Thomas Whitton," aged 36, with a "certificate from the minister of Bennandin in Kent of their conformity," were enrolled at London as passengers for New England on the Elizabeth & Ann. He married (1) at St. Mary Magdalene, Canterbury, Kent, 1 Oct 1625, Audrey (Cork) Morecock, widow of Henry Morecock. She died by 1639. He married (2) at Plymouth, 22 Nov 1639, Winifred Harding. "Winnefred Whitney the wife of Thomas Whitney died the 23rd of Jul 1660" at Plymouth. He married (3) after 23 Jul 1660, Patience (Morton) Faunce.
John Faunce came to Plymouth in 1623 of the Anne. He was the "Purchaser" and on the 1633 Freeman list. Faunce served on juries and obtained various land grants (PCR, passim). His house was located in the southern part of Plymouth near the Eel River. There is a book called The Faunce Family History and Genealogy (Akron, Ohio 1967).
When John died in 1654, his children were left in poverty. Juliana's nephew Lieutenant Southworth taking by the hand Thomas, a boy of eight years, led him away to adopt into his family and, transmitting that which he had received from Gov. Bradford, gave the orphan a good education, secular and religious, for which Thomas Faunce, the last ruling elder known in Plymouth, said that he had "reason to bless God to all eternity."
Patience and John's son Thomas was a famed church elder and the originator of the story of Plymouth Rock. Thomas was born 1647 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Mass and lived until 27 Feb 1746 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Mas.
Deacon Spooner related the story to the Old Colony Club that at the age of 95 Elder Thomas Faunce was driven to town in a open wagon and taken to Plymouth Rock. He told the people gathered there how he had talked to John Howland and his wife, John Alden, Giles Hopkins, George Soule, Francis Cooke and Mrs. Cushman, born Mary Allerton. All of these, he said had told him that upon that rock they stepped ashore. He also said that John Winslow's wife (Mary Chilton) came there on her 75th birthday and laughed as she stepped on the rock and said she was the first woman to step on it. Finally he admonished them with
"And ye children of my blood, I charge you to remember how, year by year, while God lent me strength, I brought you here on Forefathers Day and set your feet upon the rock, and told you what mighty things the Fathers had done for you… then come ye forward, sons and grandsons and set your feet upon the rock once more in my sight, and never forget this day, you nor your children's children, to the last generation."
3. John Morton
There were two woman named Lettice [joy in Latin] in early Plymouth. Lettice Hanford and Lettice Kempton are often mixed up with four marriages between them. There is only one recorded death: 22 Feb 1691. Here's my crack at unsorting the tangle.
John's wife Lettice [__?__] was about 1629 in London. Her parents were not our ancestors Ephraim KEMPTON and Hannah [__?__]. This is an old myth. The maiden name of John Morton's wife Lettice has never been established and there is no evidence it was Kempton. For John Morton marriage, reference Robert Charles Anderson, "The Great Migration Begins", Vol. 3, page 1297, George Morton's son John married Lettice with no maiden name given; or Clarence Almon Torrey, "New England Marriages Prior to 1700, page 522, John Morton and Lettice ? (no married name given).
After John died, Lettice married Andrew Ring, son of William RING and Mary DURRANT. Andrew Ring's first wife was Deborah Hopkins, daughter of our ancestor Stephen HOPKINS. Lettice died 22 Feb 1691 in Middleboro, Plymouth, Mass.
Lettice Hanford was baptized 8 June 1617,at Alverdiscott, Devonshire. Her parents were Jeffrey Hanford and Eglin Hatherley. Lettice Hanford clearly preceded her mother & younger sisters to New England. On 10 Apr 1635, Eglin Hanford," aged 46, & "2 daughters, Margaret Manford," aged 16, & "Eliz[abeth] Hanford," aged 14, along with "Rodolphus Elmes," aged 15. & "Tho[mas] Stanley," aged 16, were enrolled at London as passengers for New England on the Defence.)
Lettice Hanford first married 8 Apr 1635 in Scituate, Plymouth, Mass. to Edward Foster (b. 24 Jan 1590 in Frittendon, Kent, England – d. 25 Nov 1643 in Scituate, Plymouth, Mass.) at Mr. Cudworth's [Scituate] by Captain Standish. She was admitted to Scituate church (as "Goody Foster") 25 December 1636. They had 3 children: Timothy, Timothy again, & Elizabeth Hewett Ray.
After Edward died, she married Edward Jenkins (1618 Kent, England – d. 1699 Scituate, Plymouth, Mass) On 4 March 1634/5, "Edw[ar]d Jeakins," one of seven servants of Nathaniel Tilden of Tenterden, Kent, was included in the list of passengers of the Hercules of Sandwich. Lettice and Edward had 3-4 children: Samuel (b. 1645), (probably) Sarah Bacon, Mary Atkinson Cocke, & Thomas. In the late 1660s and early 1670s Edward Jenkins had to come to the aid of two of his children who experienced a number of problems. On 5 Mar 1666/67, "Dinah Silvester, Sarah Smith, and the daughter of Edward Jenkens, [are] summoned to the next court.
Hon. John Morton was an admitted freeman of Plymouth Colony, 1648, and one of the original proprietors of Middleboro.
John Morton Bio
4. Sarah Morton
Sarah's husband George Bonham was born in 1604 in Lexden, Essex, England. His parents were William Bonham and Anne Babbington. George died 28 Apr 1704 – Plymouth, Plymouth, Mass.
Sarah Morton's Day by Kate Waters
Sarah Morton Bonum was the subject of the children's book Sarah Morton's Day by Kate Waters. Text and photographs of Plimouth Plantation follow a pilgrim girl through a typical day as she milks the goats, cooks and serves meals, learns her letters, and adjusts to her new stepfather.
Typical Reader Review:
"This was one of my favorite books as a kid, especially being one of Sarah Morton's descendants. It was great learning about how my family and others started out in America, and it is very well researched and informative. Now that I work at a preschool, I can't wait to read this to my kids at Thanksgiving to give them a glimpse of how Pilgrims lived. I would highly recommend this book to teachers, parents, and libraries."

I am a descendant of several mayflower passengers and plymouth puritans that came over on the ships Anne and fortune. I'd like to acquire and copy George Morton's writings. I am related to the Morton's through the marriage of Elisha Ford to Elizabeth Oakman . Elizabeth was granddaughter of Edward Doty jr. And Sarah Faunce. Patience Morton and John Faunce were Sarah Faunce parents. I am also descended from the widow Ford and to Edward Doty and other families. I want to learn all I can about my puritan ancestors which are numerous. Sincerely Charles Ford.
I hope this reaches you. Although I am not able to pass along any copies of George Morton's writings, I wanted to introduce myself to you, as I also descend from seven Mayflower passengers, Plymouth Puritans and Fords and Mortons. My Grandmother was a certified genealogist, DAR genealogist and she gifted me with a remarkable 105 page chart of my ancestry. I have a great deal of information about these families and am always willing to share with others. Feel free to contact me if you have hit any "walls" in your ancestry search, as the records she left me are fairly extensive. I can be contacted at dolson94121@gmail.com

The part of genealogy I enjoy most are the stories that connect us.


Sat., Feb.20: We spent all morning having a Geologist Meeting with Dave to discuss and rip apart the ADK Report - Jack Mardesich, our engineer, was very disgruntled because of his exvolvement. I got mad with Wyn for not having looked at the ADK samples yet. At 14:30 our friend Des O'Shea was to get married, but to my chagrin I could not attend (I met Des again in 2004 and found out that his wife did not want him to use the Internet or E-mail ...) Instead, I went home for a quick bite at 15:00, then went to bed and read. Later that evening, Erik and Rosemarie, Wyn and Angela and Mercia and I went for dinner and ate raw meat (Tartare) and had too many drinks, so I was glad to hit the sack once more at 23:00, having veritable nightmares about ADK.
Mon., Feb.22 and Tue., Feb.23: Finally completed the ADK report which had become a true drag. I prepared the Washington Letter and included Lizard geophysical records for their edification. We had Gigi for dinner and took her to the library to select books about the Phoenicians and Crusades. Also conducted the "Rockeater" and "Klipbok" pre-cruise meeting and apologized to Captain Harris. Inspected anr readied SCUBA diving gear and sampling devices. Briefed Dave Smith.

Dutch aid for political violence
Netherlands Institute for Multi-Party Democracy comes clean :
With the support of NIMD, Zambia's political parties have founded the Zambian Centre for Inter-party Dialogue (ZCID), which is instrumental in creating political consensus on democratic reforms. NIMD also supports the institutional development of political parties in Zambia. NIMD provides this support on a fully inclusive and strictly impartial basis: all parliamentary parties are eligible for support, whether in government or in the opposition. The allocation of funding is based on modalities determined by ZCID. NIMD respects these modalities.
In 2009 the amounts received by the parties under individual contracts with NIMD are as follows: UNIP: € 14,285; NDF: € 14,285; ULP: €12,931 (due to underspending); PF: € 14,285 ; MMD: €14,285 and FDD: No contract signed in 2009. These amounts have been verified by a chartered accountant. In 2010, no contracts have been signed by NIMD and the political parties. Consequently, none of the parties has received any funds from NIMD in 2010. NIMD and ZCID are currently discussing matters relating the partnership, which we hope will be resolved in a few weeks.
There are atleast two reasons why I think it is wrong for NIMD to fund Zambian political parties in this
First, it is morally wrong for them to give money to parties that perpetually engage in electoral fraud and dabble in violence. NIMD may argue that it is balanced but really why give money to these parties that only use it to buy and ship cadres to electoral areas and breed violence and intimidate old people? It is not good enough for NIMD to argue that it cannot be held responsible for how the money is used. Its like lending a gun to someone who is a perpetual serial killer and then claim that you simply give! The record of electoral fraud is well known, as is the on-going intimidation of voters in many parts by self-appointed cadres.
Secondly, NIMD's funding distorts incentives for parties to collaborate. The mushrooming of parties that we have seen clearly have their compass locked on foreign organisations like NIMD. These things continue to perpetuate the politics of poverty. NDF, FDD and ULP are one man parties that are doing nothing for the advancement of our political system. I have always defended the conferred right of these parties to exist, but not when their existence is an outcome of external intervention. It is highly questionable whether these small one band parties would make any noise without the euros in their pockets. These organisations like NIMD serve no useful role in our democratic process.
As a general point, I continue to oppose central funding of political parties, whether through government or NIMD. If NIMD wants to help, it should focus its attention on lobbying for tight regulation on political funding as discussed here. What we need is a regulatory system not more money from the likes of NIMD.
THEMES : aid, politics
MrK 7 May 2010 at 22:33
Cho,
Are you 'there' for tax funded parties? That would take all these kinds of shenanigans out of the process.
I completely agree with you that political parties should not be sponsored by foreign NGOs.
Having said all that, NIMD seems to be above board, and their directors are from several leftwing political parties, one conservative one, one religious party. The socialists (marxists) and and the pro-animal (PETA-type) party wouldn't sign on. My own comment on this article on my own blog is:
COMMENT - I am completely against foreign funding of political parties. However, considering how the MMD wants to rely on 'donors' for so much of the country's activities, and considering that this particular funding would be open to all parties (and it had better be), I don't think this reflects on the PF alone. It would put the MMD on a higher moral pedestal if they too were completely honest about the sources of their political funds. The NIMD board seems to be truly multi-party. However, I still don't like this kind of activity.
Frank 8 May 2010 at 12:08
By the way ULP actually has 3 MPs. One in Southern province and two in Western Province. Besides all parties in Zambia revolve around one person i.e the so called party president. It is true of the MMD, PF and UPND. There is simply no intra party-democracy in Zambia. Democracy in Zambia was still-born in 1991!
MissBwalya 8 May 2010 at 18:14
I have a big problem with any foreign entity (govt, NGO, political organisation, etc) and corporations playing a role in campaign financing. Those "donations" are not free and come with strings attached. For someone to give your political party or campaign large sums of money what are you promising to give them in return? I think this adds another layer of complexity in political relationships and once again puts voters needs and wants on the back burner while favours are repaid behind closed doors. I am more in favour of public financing where possible and small individual contributions.
Chola Mukanga 8 May 2010 at 22:13
MrK,
"Are you 'there' for tax funded parties?"
Emphatically No!!
You will recall that this is the topic that coined the term "sakism".
I have previously set out my reasons under :
Sakism and When Hichilenomics met Sakism with good discussions under the comment section.
I was under the impression ULP only had 2 MPs. But the point is that they have MPs. So not quite a one man party! I was on a roll :) But you are quite right to point out that implicitly that the NIMD approach is to fund all parties in Parliament. Though that does not negate the main points.
MissBwalya
"I am more in favour of public financing where possible and small individual contributions.
See links above. I do not find public financing persuasive because the solutions it posits to solve can be solved through other means and through regulation. Also I don't think political parties are inerrantly public goods to warrant public money. They are NOT non-rival or non-excludable. Neither can we argue that their existence fulfils a missing market per se or generate any positive externalities independent of other apparatus.

Health Protection Branch
* Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate is currently reviewing this document. A Policy on Recall and a Guidance Document for Industry will soon be available.
Recall is an effective method of removing or correcting violative products that may represent a health hazard to the consumer or user. It is an action taken by a manufacturer, distributor, or importer to carry out their responsibility to protect the public health and well-being.
During recalls, the primary role of the Health Protection Branch is to closely monitor the effectiveness of the firm's recall actions and to provide scientific, technical and operational advice. If a recalling firm's performance is deemed to be inadequate, the Branch is prepared to take appropriate action to remove the product from sale or use. A firm's recall does not preclude enforcement actions being taken by the Branch, as deemed appropriate, either during or following the completion of the recall.
"Product" means any domestic or imported food, drug, cosmetic, device, radiation emitting device, and any advertisement thereof,as defined under the Food and Drugs Act and the Radiation Emitting Devices Act.
"Recall" with respect to a product, other than a medical device, means a firm's removal from further sale or use, or correction, of a marketed product that violates legislation administered by the Health Protection Branch.
"Recall" with respect to a medical device that has been marketed means any action taken in respect of the device by the manufacturer or importer thereof after becoming aware that the device.
is or may be hazardous to health,
fails or may fail to conform with any claims made by the manufacturer or importer relating to the effectiveness, benefits, performance characteristics or safety of the device, or
does not comply with the Food and Drugs Act or Medical Devices Regulations to recall or correct the device or to notify the owner or user of the device of the defectiveness thereof
The definition of "Recall" does not include a "product withdrawal" or a "stock recovery".
"Correction" means repair, modification, adjustment, relabelling, or inspection (including patient monitoring) of a product without its physical removal to some other location.
"Recalling firm" means the firm that initiates a recall. It is usually the firm that has primary responsibility for the manufacture/import and marketing of the product to be recalled.
"Consignee" means anyone who received, purchased, or used the product being recalled.
"Product withdrawal" means a firm's removal from further sale or use, or correction of a marketed product that does not violate legislation administered by the Health Protection Branch. It is not considered to be a recall.
"Stock recovery" means a firm's removal or correction of a product that has not been marketed or that has not left the direct control of the firm. It is not considered to be a recall.
"Recall strategy" means a planned specific course of action to be taken in conducting a specific recall, which addresses itself to matters such as the depth of recall, need for public warnings, and extent or effectiveness checks for the recall.
"Recall classification" means the numerical designation, i.e. Class I, Class II or Class III, assigned by the Health Protection Branch to a particular product recall to indicate the relative degree of health hazard presented by the product being recalled.
Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
Class II is a situation in which the use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
Class III is a situation in which the use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause any adverse health consequences.
It is imperative that before or upon initiating a recall, the recalling firm notifies the Health Protection Branch. The basic information required includes the following:
The name of the recalled product and, where applicable, the identifying model designation, serial number, code, lot number and any other means of identification.
The total quantity of the recalled product originally in his possession.
The total quantity of the recalled product that had been distributed up to the time of the recall.
Area of the distribution of the recalled product by province and, if exported, by country.
The quantity of the recalled product still in his possession.
The reason for initiating the recall.
This information is usually provided verbally but it should be confirmed in writing. For drugs and medical devices, please refer to the specific recall notification requirements in the Food and Drug Regulations and the Medical Devices Regulations respectively.
Before initiating a recall, the firm will normally gather, correlate and evaluate all known information on the nature and extent of the reputed health risk. An evaluation of the health hazard presented by a product being recalled or considered for recall will also be conducted by Health Protection Branch scientists and will take into account, but need not be limited to, the following factors:
Whether any disease or injuries have already occurred from the use of the product.
Assessment of hazard to various segments of the population, e.g., children, surgical patients, etc., who are expected to be exposed to the product being considered, with particular attention paid to the hazard to those individuals who may be at greatest risk.
Assessment of the degree of seriousness of the health hazard to which the population at risk would be exposed.
Assessment of the likelihood of occurrence of the hazard.
Assessment of the consequences (immediate or long-range) of occurrence of the hazard.
Any conclusion shall be supported as completely as possible by scientific documentation and/or statements that the conclusion is the opinion of the individual(s) making the health hazard determination. The recalling firm is given every opportunity to contribute to the information on which the health hazard evaluation is made by the Health Protection Branch who, on the basis of this determination, assigns the recall a classification, i.e., Class I, Class II or Class III, to indicate the relative degree of health hazard of the product being recalled or considered for recall.
A recall strategy that takes into account the following factors will be developed by the recalling firm to suit the individual circumstances of the particular recall:
Results of health hazard evaluation.
Ease in identifying the product.
Degree to which the product's deficiency is obvious to the consumer or user.
Degree to which the product remains unused in the marketplace.
Continued availability of essential products.
The Health Protection Branch will provide scientific, technical and operational advice to the recalling firm in the development of the recall strategy as well as evaluate its effectiveness and recommend changes, as deemed appropriate. Additional investigation, analysis and compliance actions may also be carried out by the Branch.
b. Elements of a recall strategy
A recall strategy will address the following elements regarding the conduct of the recall:
Depth of recall - Depending on the product's degree of hazard and extent of distribution, the recall strategy will specify the level in the distribution chain to which the recall is to extend, as follows:
Consumer or user level, which may vary with product, including any intermediate wholesale or retail level; or
Retail level, including any intermediate wholesale level; or
Wholesale level.
Recall Communications - From the recalling firm to its affected accounts. See Item 6, page 6.
Public Warning - The purpose of a public warning is to alert the public that a product being recalled presents a serious hazard to health. It is reserved for urgent situations (Class I and occasionally Class II Recalls) where other means for preventing use of the recalled product appear inadequate. The Assistant Deputy Minister decides whether a public recall announcement is mandatory and whether the Health Protection Branch will issue the warning.
The recall strategy will specify the type of public warning, for example:
General public warning through the general news media, either national or local as appropriate, or
Public warning through specialized news media, e.g., professional, trade or ethnic press, or to specific segments of the population such as physicians, hospitals, etc.
Effectiveness checks - The purpose of effectiveness checks is to verify that all consignees at the recall depth specified by the strategy have received notification about the recall and have taken appropriate action. The method for contacting consignees may be accomplished by personal visits, telephone calls, letters, or a combination thereof. The recalling firm is responsible for conducting effectiveness checks. The firm's recall strategy will specify the method(s) to be used for and the level of effectiveness checks that will be conducted by the recalling firm as follows.
Level A - 100 percent of the total number of consignees to be contacted;
Level B - Some percentage of the total number of consignees to be contacted, which percentage is to be determined on a case-by-case basis, but is greater than 10 percent and less than 100 percent of the total number of consignees
Level C - 10 percent or less of the total number of consignees to be contacted, which percentage is to be determined on a case-by-case basis; or
Level D - No effectiveness checks.
The Health Protection Branch, sometimes assisted by other health agencies, may carry out its own effectiveness checks as part of monitoring the recalling firm's performance. This is a separate exercise which must not be considered as part of, or supplement to, the recalling firm's responsibilities for adequate effectiveness checks.
A recalling firm is responsible for promptly notifying each of its affected accounts about the recall. The format, content, and extent of a recall communication should be commensurate with the hazard of the product being recalled and the strategy developed for that recall. In general terms, the purpose of a recall communication is to convey:
That the product in question is subject to a recall;
That further distribution or use of any remaining product should cease immediately;
Where applicable and required as part of the recall strategy, that the direct account should in turn notify its accounts that received the product about the recall;
Instructions regarding what to do with the product.
b. Implementation
As determined by the recall strategy, a recall communication can be accomplished by telephone, telex, telegrams, or special delivery letters conspicuously marked, preferably in bold red type, on the letter and envelope: "DRUG (or FOOD, BIOLOGIC, etc.) RECALL". The letter and the envelope should also be marked: "URGENT" for Class I and Class II recalls. Telephone calls or other personal contacts should ordinarily be confirmed by one of the other above methods and/or documented in an appropriate manner.
c. Content
A recall communication should be written in accordance with the following guidelines:
Be brief and to the point;
Identify clearly the product, size, lot number(s), code(s), or serial number(s) and any other pertinent descriptive information to enable accurate and immediate identification of the product;
Explain concisely the reason for the recall and the hazard involved;
Provide specific instructions on what should be done with respect to the recalled products; and
Provide a ready means for the recipient of the communication to report to the recalling firm whether it has any of the product, e.g., by allowing the recipient to place a collect call to the recalling firm.
The recall communication should not contain irrelevant qualifications, promotional materials, or any other statement that may detract from the message. Where necessary, follow-up communications should be sent to those who fail to respond to the initial recall communication.
d. Responsibility of recipient
Consignees that receive a recall communication should immediately carry out the instructions set forth by the recalling firm and, where necessary, extend the recall to its consignees in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
A recall will be terminated when the Health Protection Branch and the recalling firms are in agreement that the product subject to the recall has been removed and proper disposition or correction has been made.
A recall can be disruptive of a firm's operation and business, but there are several steps a firm can take in advance to minimize this disruptive effect. While the following is provided as guidance, it should be noted that some of it is a requirement under current legislation administered by the Health Protection Branch.
Prepare and maintain a detailed written recall system or plan that will permit a rapid and effective product recall. This would include the identification of all internal and external personnel involved in the recall action and their functions and responsibilities; the channels and means of communication; the control of returned stock, etc.
Use sufficient coding of products to permit positive lot identification and to facilitate effective recall of those lots.
Maintain such product distribution records as are necessary to facilitate location of products that are being recalled. Such records should be maintained for a period of time that exceeds the shelf life and expected use of the product and is at least the length of time specified in other applicable regulations concerning records retention.
Recalls will be given high priority at all levels of the Branch. Prompt and complete fulfillment by Branch personnel of their specific recall responsibilities is required. This may require adjusted work hours, stand-by, overtime and sacrifice of scheduled work. The major responsibilities of key personnel are as follows:
Regional Recall Coordinators - Field Operations Directorate
Provides an early alert on the possibility of Class I and Class II recall situations to the National Recall Coordinator.

Summary of Drug and natural health products recall guide


The American Gaming Association (AGA) welcomed local business and non-profit leaders to a Get to Know Gaming event hosted in Des Moines on Friday last week which highlighted the productive partnership between gaming and the state of Iowa.
Friday's event was part of AGA's Get to Know Gaming campaign, which aims to educate local leaders about gaming's role as a community partner in 40 states across the country. The gathering also marked the release of the association's latest report, Casinos & Communities Iowa, offering an in-depth look at how the gaming industry supports local communities through small business investments, non-profit partnerships and local workforce initiatives.
Friday's roundtable in Des Moines also included Wes Ehrecke, president and CEO of the Iowa Gaming Association; Paul Czak, vice president and general manager of Ameristar Council Bluffs; Angela Dethlefs-Trettin, chief community impact officer, Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines; Dory Briles, executive director, Des Moines Public Library Foundation; State Sen. Jake Chapman; and Slane.
SBC Americas analysis: The Iowa gaming industry employs over 15,000 people statewide, supports $618m in wages and has a total economic impact of $2.5bn, three very good reasons as to why events such as this are key to raising the positive profile of gaming. Credit to the AGA for its Get to Know Gaming initiative and taking a lead role in giving states a platform to share vital knowledge.

No Man's Sky je akční dobrodružná survival hra vyvinutá a vydávaná společností Hello Games. Celosvětově byla vydána pro PlayStation 4 a Microsoft Windows v srpnu 2016, pro Xbox One v červenci 2018 a pro konzole PlayStation 5 a Xbox Series X a Series S v listopadu 2020. Vydání na Nintendo Switch je naplánována v říjnu 2022, zatímco verze pro macOS a iPadOS jsou ve vývoji. Hra je postavena na pěti pilířích: průzkum, přežití, boj, obchodování a budování základny. Hráči mohou hrát v rámci celého procedurálně generovaného otevřeného světa, který zahrnuje více než 18 kvintilionů planet. Prostřednictvím herního systému generování mají planety své vlastní ekosystémy s jedinečnými formami flóry a fauny a různé mimozemské druhy mohou hráče zapojit do boje nebo obchodu v rámci planetárních systémů. Hráči postupují ve hře těžbou zdrojů pro napájení a vylepšení svého vybavení, nákupem a prodejem zdrojů pomocí kreditů získaných plněním misí, dokumentováním flóry a fauny, budováním planetárních základen a rozšiřováním vesmírných flotil. Hráči také mohou plnit různé mise prostřednictvím příběhové linie hledáním záhad kolem entity známé jako Atlas.

Sean Murray, zakladatel Hello Games, chtěl vytvořit hru, která by zachytila smysl pro zkoumání a optimismus sci-fi spisů a umění 70. a 80. let. Hru vyvíjel během tří let malý tým Hello Games s propagační a publikační pomocí od Sony Interactive Entertainment. Hra byla herními médii vnímána jako ambiciózní projekt pro malý tým a Murray s Hello Games přitáhli významnou pozornost vedoucí k jejímu vydání.

No Man's Sky získala při svém uvedení v roce 2016 smíšené recenze, přičemž někteří kritici chválili technické úspěchy procedurálně generovaného vesmíru, zatímco jiní považovali hru za nevýraznou a opakující se. Hra byla dále kritizována kvůli nedostatečné komunikaci Hello Games v měsících následujících po spuštění, což vyvolalo nepřátelskou reakci některých jejích hráčů. Murray později uvedl, že Hello Games nedokázali ovládnout přehnaná očekávání od hry ze strany médií a větší než očekávaný počet hráčů při spuštění, a od té doby se rozhodli mlčet o aktualizacích hry, dokud nebudou téměř připraveni. Propagace a marketing hry No Man's Sky se staly předmětem debaty a byly uváděny jako příklad toho, čemu se v marketingu videoher vyhnout.

Od prvního vydání hry Hello Games pokračovali ve vylepšování a rozšiřování No Man's Sky, aby dosáhli vize zážitku, který chtěli vybudovat. Hra obdržela několik bezplatných hlavních aktualizací obsahu, které zavedly několik dříve chybějících funkcí, jako jsou komponenty pro více hráčů, a přidaly nové funkce, jako jsou povrchová vozidla, budování základny, správa vesmírné flotily, multiplatformní hraní a podpora virtuální reality. To vše podstatně zlepšilo její celkové přijetí a má se za to, že vykoupilo hru i Hello Games z problematického spuštění.

We were tasked to design a logo for the annual LASALLE Show, which previously had a different logo for every individual year. Our proposal was a representation of the raw talent that the graduates possessed as students, and how the polishing process of education prepared them for the industry.
Subsequently, life-sized "diamonds" were fabricated from the logo design, acting as a key element that decorated the campus and event.

Going viral: The good, the bad, and the food for thought
By Viorica Marian
An view of the Northwestern University campus in Evanston on Feb. 7, 2017. A professor at the university recently saw one of her tweets go viral. (Chris Walker / Chicago Tribune)
More than 25 million. That's how many people saw my joke on Twitter.
"I once taught an 8 a.m. college class. So many grandparents died that semester. I then moved my class to 3 p.m. No more deaths. And that, my friends, is how I save lives."
I expected a few likes from fellow professors on my sleepy Twitter account with barely 60 followers. Instead, the tweet went viral, with more than 920,000 combined retweets and likes. It crossed platforms to Instagram, where it became a meme, with many more millions of views. Reddit, Facebook — suddenly it was everywhere.
Thousands of comments and an endless stream of direct messages poured in. Most thought it was funny. Many tweeted pithy replies like "Teachers save lives" and "Not all heroes wear capes." The Daily Mail wrote an article about it and Twitter spotlighted the tweet in its promotion materials.
The internet seemed to be having a collective laugh, and it was heartwarming to see young and old alike all over the world relate across countries, languages, cultures, and generations.

Power of a single tweet
As a scientist, I've written hundreds of research articles over the years and have spent two decades in the laboratory. Yet, if you combine all I have ever written, all my research put together, it still would not reach as many eyes as this one tweet.
The backlash, however, was just as swift. The following Monday, a Chronicle of Higher Education piece took aim at the tweet. Critics wrote that the tweet trivialized the challenges students face in college, that it was disrespectful to students whose relatives really did die, and that it lacked empathy for those who were facing hardships.
And although I posted a response to clarify that students who have extenuating circumstances are accommodated to meet their needs, and that those who have personal, family, or health difficulties should talk directly with their professors or contact the campus counseling, health, or students with disabilities offices for help, it wasn't long before the name-calling and threats began.
Such pushback is not only a demonstration of our collective tendency to find fault with, well, everything and look for the cloud in every silver lining, but is also a symptom of our increasing inability as a society to engage in conversation with those with whom we disagree.
The result is an online culture that often seems divided into "snowflakes" and "bullies," one in which it is becoming increasingly hard to find the middle ground between extremes and the commonality between different kinds of people. The dichotomy hurts everyone and is spilling into everyday life and influencing how we interact with each other.
The ugly side
In the Twitterverse, anything can, and probably will, get trolled. Knee-jerk reactions on social media can be like arming a toddler with a machete. Which is why the same good judgment we must use in our day-to-day lives is also required in our online lives. Because while social media can give rise and power to entire social movements and can expose abusers, it can also facilitate professional suicide and singlehandedly end careers.
If my fleeting internet fame as the Kardashian of academia for a day taught me anything, it's that social media can be incredibly powerful. Of course I had already witnessed its effects on politics, entertainment and society as an outside observer, but it was very different to experience it firsthand.
This culture of volatile discourse can have a disproportionate effect across genders and groups. Those likely to be more sensitive to the opinions of others, or to take things more personally and closer to heart, may become less likely to speak up and contribute what they have to say. And when voices that are more measured, more thoughtful, more tentative or from a different walk of life are less likely to participate in public discourse, what is lost is an accurate reflection of society.
This voice silencing matters. If enough voices are extinguished or otherwise opt out of public discourse, the narrative becomes skewed in favor of those who are loudest, more extreme, more belligerent.
I received so many hostile messages, insults and threats that at one point I considered deleting the tweet. But not only were screenshots of the tweet already circulating outside my control on other platforms, removing the tweet would in essence be equivalent to stifling my voice, which was the very opposite of what I believe in.
As it is, not all voices are equally represented in public discourse. Social media provides a way to shift the balance to increase the representation of women and underrepresented groups. And the public discourse of the present becomes the history of tomorrow. Which means that those who have a voice get to write history.
And while tweeting a joke does not change the world, this joke is part of my voice. It reflects my sense of humor and my life. It may have a little bite to it, as jokes often do; but as far as bites go, this was barely a nibble. Any teacher who has taught teenagers or young adults long enough knows that students sometimes skip classes, especially the early morning ones. And if the joke contributed to promoting an honest discussion about the challenges students face and a way to address them fairly, even better.
The repercussions of this one tweet and of more people from all walks of life now following my Twitter account is that my voice can reach more people, and more diverse people, than ever before. Certainly more than I ever could inside the university classroom where I teach. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and the internet in general have become classrooms and town halls of their own for billions of people.
As a result, I can now use my voice to talk about things I have spent hundreds of thousands of hours studying — about language science and science in general. About bilingualism and the value of learning languages. About education and equal rights.

Which is precisely why I believe in the upside of social media. In using it to learn, connect, laugh, share, commiserate. To join our individual voices so their message is stronger and heard further.
My individual voice is that of a woman. A scientist. A teacher. A parent. An immigrant. Contrary to what the critics of my tweet may think, I understand hardship. I came to the United States alone, as a teenager, with $2.41 in my pocket, and worked multiple jobs to put myself through college and graduate school. And my beloved grandfather passed away while I was in college. I get it. I do.

A sense of humor was at times the only thing I felt I had.
At a time in which trolling is the norm and the choice is to suffer through it or opt out, a change is needed in how we interact with each other. If we pre-emptively silence ourselves due to consequences that might occur, only the loudest will have a share of voice, a seat at the table, and a contribution to the public narrative. Indeed, it's time to shift how we engage with those we don't necessarily agree with so that the results are not harmful, but constructive.
Yes, it can be scary to speak up in a public forum, to tweet, to post, to write publicly and to talk in front of an audience. But for every person who does not do it, someone else has the floor. So speak we must. That is something I believe in with all my heart. Because the alternative to saying something is saying nothing, and the alternative to consequences is to be inconsequential.

Q: Invalid input syntax for type numeric due to black row value I posted a question a few days ago regarding "Inserting data from a CSV file to postgres using SQL", I'm trying to do it with the other form, COPY_FROM. I'm getting a similar error with what I had with the insert one, but I'm unsure how to address it:
ERROR:
invalid input syntax for type numeric: ""
CONTEXT: COPY messages, line 1, column EXAMPLE: ""

CODE:
 with open('example.csv', 'r') as f:
            next(f)
            cur.copy_from(f, 'table', sep=',', columns=('Column1', 'Column2', 'EXAMPLE'))
            conn.commit()

I would imagine the issue is that they way it works, despite it being a black column valve it still has "" and therefore pasting it inside the copy_from method. Any way to remove them?
Thanks.

A: In "example.csv", there is a blank-valued cell that should be a numeric value. Possible solutions:
1- NULL out those cells. Note that NULL does not mean an empty string. use =NA() instead of an empty string for those columns.
2- Read all the values as "string" in your program, then convert them to numeric where the content is a member of integer.
3- Use a dummy value like -1000 for those cells, and replace -1000 to empty string in your program.

The author describes the educational experiences of five female Filipino students in public schools in Montreal. Her goal is to understand why some female Filipino teens leave school prematurely, while others manage to persevere in their studies. She conducted open-ended interviews in English and Tagalog to examine the reasons and personal motives underlying their school disengagement. The participants described their difficulties in adjusting to the Quebec educational system and how their peers have influenced them to quit school. They also discussed how economic stress can push teens from the Philippines to abandon their studies for work. The author's results suggest the importance of positive family relationships and caring educators in keeping female Filipino students in school.

Democracy is in retreat around the world. How bad is the "democratic recession?" And what can you do to get democracy back on track?
These are dark days for democracy around the world.
There's not much disagreement about that. But before we bemoan democracy's woes or take its virtues for granted, just what is democracy? And if we do want to help democracy through this rough patch, what can we do?
Fundamentally, democracy is rule by people. In a typical democracy, citizens exercise power by voting. But beyond that, democracy gets very messy.
There are many types of voting systems, and citizens can wield power directly or indirectly, for example through legislative bodies. Nations with vastly different governing systems call themselves democratic. Only five nation states — Brunei, Fiji, Oman, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates — plus the Vatican admit to being undemocratic. There are many pretenders.
Liberal, or Western, democracy is familiar to many of our readers. It generally features elections involving political parties, the separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law and the protection of human rights, civil liberties and political freedom.
But there are other varieties that do not tick all of those boxes. Anarchists generally will only accept direct democracy — citizens form a governing body and vote directly on each issue — but they are split on whether the majority should be able to impose its will on the minority. Some democrats would prefer to choose decision-makers randomly. Others insist on democracy at a global scale.
So why are people saying that democracy is in difficulty?
The Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) produces an annual report that includes what is widely considered to be the global benchmark index on the state of democracy. Its latest report, based on data from last year, recorded the worst decline in global democracy in years.
"Not a single region recorded an improvement in its average score since 2016, as countries grapple with increasingly divided electorates," the EIU said, adding that freedom of expression is facing new challenges from both state and non-state actors.
So what does the EIU measure to come up with its index? The electoral process and pluralism; civil liberties; the functioning of government; political participation; and political culture. So the index measures much more than mere voting.
While some countries, especially in Scandinavia and northern Europe, rank high in the EIU's index and others languish, not a single region recorded an improved score last year.
What Stanford professor Larry Diamond has called a "democratic recession" is marked, according to the EIU, by declining participation in elections and politics, declining trust in institutions, the dwindling appeal of mainstream representative parties, a widening gap between political elites and electorates, a decline in media freedoms and the erosion of civil liberties, including curbs on free speech.
Sound familiar to you? Then check out where your country stands in this ranking.
You'll note, for example, that the United States has slipped in the rankings and now is considered a "flawed democracy." Gambia improved its score substantially; Indonesia plummeted.
How prevalent is democracy? According to the EIU, about half the world's population lives in some kind of democracy. But only 4.5 percent live in a "full democracy," down from 8.9 percent in 2015, while one third of the world lives under authoritarian rule.
So how bad is the crisis in democracy? A large study published earlier this year that tried to eschew political bias concluded that "democracy is facing its most significant challenge of recent years." While Americans remain committed to the ideals of democracy, most see democracy in the United States as weak and getting weaker.
Nonwhite Americans, in fact, are less convinced than whites of the importance of living in a democracy, and Americans are generally frustrated with racism and discrimination, and with the influence of money in politics.
A 38-nation study by the Pew Research Center that took a global look at democracy came to a similar conclusion: more than half said representative democracy is a very or somewhat good way to run their country. But the survey also found openness, to varying degrees, to some non-democratic forms of government.
So the political terrain is ripe for the rise of groupings that claim to represent "the people" and which are led by strongmen who vow to protect the downtrodden from elites and foreigners — "outsiders" with roots in different cultures or religions.
It's enough to make you want to throw up your hands in frustration and give up. But, ironically, that would hasten the decline in participation and strengthen democracy's opponents.
So what can you do? A group of comic artists based in the United Kingdom has come up with a list of actions you can take to exercise your democratic rights. It's a bit like exercising — using those democratic muscles to keep them limber and toned!
If you live in a country where you cannot exercise these rights, where democracy does not have deep roots, you can still make a difference. History is replete with champions of democracy who fought against the odds, step by step, inch by inch.
No time for despair. Claim the future.
A very useful and informative analysis of democracy's current status.

Stanford football: Grading the Week
Posted on October 7, 2013 by Jon Wilner
Held off posting this until the Oct. 19 kickoff times were announced … and that just happened (many hours later than usual).
Stanford-UCLA is 7 p.m.
No word on whether ESPN's 'College GameDay' will broadcast from Stanford — the WWL doesn't usually make that determination until a week before kickoff.
But my guess … and it's just a guess … is that Corso and Co. will pitch their tent at Clemson-Florida State.
Result: Beat Washington 31-28
Comment: Plenty of mistakes and the overturned call helped mightily. But the quality of opponent is factored into the grade and Stanford beat a top-12/15-caliber team — that alone is enough for a B.
* Let's start with the post-game action: Specifically, UW coach Steve Sarkisian's accusation that Stanford players faked injuries in an attempt to slow down the Huskies.
On his KJR radio show (via SportspressNW.com), Sark said:
"Their defensive line coach (former Washington assistant Randy Hart) was telling them to sit down. I guess that's how we play here at Stanford, so we'll have to prepare for that next time. At some point, we'll get repaid for it. That never serves a purpose for us, and we'll never do that."
Sarkisian didn't name names, but Cardinal linebacker Shayne Skov hobbled off the field in the second half (right knee) and then returned quickly. So did end Ben Gardner (arm/shoulder).
(I was suspicious of LB Chase Thomas' actions in the '10 game in Eugene, but as far as Skov and Gardner: No idea, no judgment.)
Asked about his injury, Skov said: "Took a shot. It's football. Sometimes you get hit. I'm fine, but needed a moment to take care of it."
Gardner responded to Sarkisian on Twitter: "Skov didn't take a dive, I didn't take a dive. Never have never will. Stay classy Washington."
* No response from Stanford coach David Shaw thus far. I expect him to comment Tuesday during the Pac-12 coaches teleconference and/or his weekly press briefing.
* On the overturned completion with 1:16 left that would have given UW a first down at Stanford's 33: Sarkisian on Monday reiterated his belief that there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call on the field.
I don't find that to be an unreasonable position.
The video seems to show the ball hitting the ground. But because Kevin Smith's right hand/arm is not clearly visible during the entire sequence, the replay provides less than overwhelming evidence — and that is, or is supposed to be, the standard.
* Another brilliant gameplan by Washington DC Justin Wilcox.
Until Ty Montgomery caught the TD pass just before halftime, the Cardinal had gone almost six quarters without an offensive touchdown vs. the Huskies.
Stanford was 4 of 14 on third down (far below normal conversion rate) and threw for a paltry 105 yards.
Speaking of that yardage figure:
Kevin Hogan on Saturday: 12-20, 105 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Josh Nunes vs. UW last year: 18-37, 170 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT
I'm not defending Nunes, whose performance was widely and justifiably panned. But in fairness: Wilcox is pretty damned good at what he does.
* Montgomery: brilliant.
His 290 all-purpose yards was a career high by not close to Glyn Milburn's school record (379).
Where Montgomery's total stands on the school's all-time list, I cannot say: Stanford doesn't track the top-10 all-purpose performances.
He proved something to me Saturday. And if that keeps up, Stanford will be very, very tough to beat.
Next up: at Utah.
The matchup: All we can do is project, because the teams missed each other in the first two years of the Pac-12 schedule rotation and haven't played since the mid-1990s.
* From what I've seen of the Utes thus far, this assessment:
Stanford doesn't have to play its best game to win, but it better be well above average.
* The Utes are tough and well-coached by Kyle Whittingham, and the environment will be rowdy.
Quarterback Travis Wilson is young and prone to mistakes; he's also capable of making big plays with his arm and legs.
The defense is aggressive but figures to experience a shock to the system, as most teams do when facing the Cardinal for the first time — nobody plays the way Stanford plays and nobody practices the way Stanford plays, except for a few days each year.
* Utah was in position to beat Oregon State and UCLA but couldn't make enough plays at end. That state-of-being can change quickly, especially if given enough opportunities.
* My e-book, "Andrew Luck: Inside the Making of a No. 1 Pick," is available for $2.99 on Amazon for Kindles and for other devices (PCs, iPads and iPhones) with the free Kindle app.
