Remember, all of this is being done by neo-liberals......O'Malley and Rawlings-Blake are appointing the people, and your incumbent in the Maryland Assembly and Congress are passing the laws ending all War on Poverty and New Deal programs!
Maryland went with a private health system in this health reform because neo-liberals and republicans work for wealth and corporate profits and not people and all Maryland's democrats are neo-liberals. Johns Hopkins drives this policy because as we are seeing.,...it has been working to go towards profits for decades and now we see the patenting of research and the 'partnership' with biomedical corporations as the vehicle to do that. After trillions of dollars funneled to Hopkins by Mikulski, they have used taxpayer money to expand their own physical presence all over the city and the world. Now, it time to party as health care and education are the next markets for global corporations! Hopkins is capturing the issue as it does all issues by creating the private non-profits that look as though they fight for public option or health care for all and instead make sure that does not happen. We saw that with Maryland Health Care for All headed by Beilenson and Hopkins' people and we will see the same with Beilenson and the Maryland Health Co-ops that are supposed to be the source of curbing public insurance cost. WE ALL KNOW THAT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IS ONLY ABOUT MAKING HEALTH INSTITUTIONS INTO GLOBAL MARKETS SO THERE WILL BE NO AFFORDABLE CARE FOR PEOPLE....IT SIMPLY MEANS CUTTING ACCESS AND QUALITY SO AS TO INCREASE PROFITS FOR HEALTH BUSINESSES!
As we saw yesterday with the Detroit bankruptcy debacle, Obama is quick to send the public sector worker's health pensions into these health systems and these unions were as quick in stating that their plans are quality health coverage and the systems will be simply Medicaid....WHICH IS TRUE. So we see that Obama and neo-liberals are creating these private health systems to further privatize and make into market all health insurance. First public pensions and health.....then Entitlement Trusts of Medicare and Medicaid....that is toward where this leads. REpublicans have been trying to do this for decades....neo-liberals are doing it! Clinton got rid of Welfare, unions, and the middle class with his consolidation of banks and free market/free trade.....Obama is getting rid of public education, public health coverage, and and all civil liberties.
What we already hear is that these health insurance markets will be handled just as all 'betting' is handled with all kinds of financial instruments and derivative leveraging ......all kinds of market speculation that goes with driving consumer costs to the highest price 'the market can bear'. We will see entitlement and health fraud skyrocket as government coffers are drained just as with FHA taxpayer funded mortgage loans were.
Here in Maryland and Baltimore they are busy setting up preventative clinic care for most people modeled from third world clinic care where people come in regularly for checkups but have no access to hospitals and procedures with cost. Lab tests and Xrays are cheap....let's give lots of those. I will be talking more of the privatizing of Baltimore Public Health to private non-profits and contractors that will take away further the public's ability to know what is happening with care and funding. WHAT? OPEN MEETINGS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC....WELL, WE ARE TALKING BUSINESS IN THERE THAT IS PROPRIETARY YOU KNOW......COMING TO YOUR PUBLIC HEALTH CARE AGENCY! Remember, most people will fall into these Medicaid-level health plans as people lose public and private health plans and costs become too high. I attend Health Reform meetings at state and local level......Joshua M. Sharfstein, M.D./Dr. Oxiris Barbot where I shouted loudly about massive health fraud that government watchdogs and doctors place at 1/2 of entitlement spending.....THEY SEE NO FRAUD! I shout to them the fact that the Hippocratic Oath has doctors doing no harm yet denying access to care that exists because massive health fraud by doctors and health institutions have emptied public coffers.....public health care vs market-based health care flies in the face of all of this.....BOTH SHARFSTEIN FROM HARVARD AND BARBOT FROM YALE ARE WORKING FOR WALL STREET INSTALLING THE STRUCTURES NEEDED FOR GLOBAL HEALTH MARKETS.
The citizens of Maryland overwhelmingly do not want this so why is it happening? This is a neo-liberal/republican policy that ends public health in US and hands it to corporate interests. The Governor of Maryland.....O'Malley and the Mayor of Baltimore....Rawlings-Blake are the ones who appoint these privatizers to these positions. That is why the elections for Gov and Mayor are so important to reverse all these policies and head for the Universal Health Care most people want.
IF YOUR LABOR AND JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOT RUNNING CANDIDATES AGAINST NEO-LIBERALS.....THEY ARE NOT WORKING FOR YOU AND ME!
Today at the Baltimore Board of Estimates we see on the agenda just what our Baltimore and State Health Commissioners have been busy doing.
Below you see that as has been happening in all public services......Baltimore is now making Public Health private by making all of the care handled by private contractors and/or private non-profits. In each case.....the ability for public oversight is curbed just as we see in all public private partnerships. As we see as well with all of Maryland's contract bidding and private contracting.....the fraud and corruption will skyrocket. If you think that people will get the level of health care needed to move back to first world care under these arrangements ...... I have swampland in Florida to sell. Remember, Baltimore Health Commissioner Barbot has already handed senior care to hedge fund Carlyle Group and we are seeing Health Enterprise Zones moving to build health care in the affluent communities being gentrified by existing Enterprise Zones as health care for the poor and working class are moved to the county border to get them out of the city! Right now we have Baltimore City people going to Drummond Center on York in Baltimore County for social services.....we are seeing the far reaches of Eastern Ave as the sight for health care......and we are seeing homeless shelters in Baltimore County having to handle much of the services for the homeless from Baltimore.
The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of the agreements.
The Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) is designated as the single State agency to administer all aspects of the Maryland Medical Assistance Program. The Health Department has an agreement with the DHMH to participate in the program as the case monitoring agency and to contract with Case Monitors who will supervise personal care services to eligible recipients. Since 1994, the Health Department has also been authorized to manage the Montgomery County Personal Care Program and is reimbursed by the DHMH per case for every client in Montgomery County. The maximum number of assigned cases per individual case monitor at anytime is 75, unless a waiver is granted.
The Case Monitors will exercise independent professional judgment and carry professional liability insurance. Each case monitor will be an independent contractor and not an employee of the City. The period of the case monitoring agreement is July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
The Case Monitors will continue to be responsible for establishing a plan of personal care for each eligible recipient assigned to them in Montgomery County or Baltimore City, unless otherwise indicated. The Case Monitors will make home visits at least once every 90 days, maintain clinical records, consult with each client's personal physician and other providers in order to develop a care plan, and perform other related duties.
The Case Monitors will render personal care case monitoring services in Montgomery County.
The Case Monitors will render personal care case monitoring services in Baltimore City.
AUDITS REVIEWED AND HAD NO OBJECTIONS.
For those that are active in community organizations you know that AmeriCorp and SeniorCorp VISTAS are flooding urban communities. In Baltimore, AmeriCorps are usually students from all over the country signing in to get rid of some student debt. In both cases....the people working with these volunteer agencies are getting very little money and are taking the jobs of public sector employees that have good wages and benefits. THIS IS YET ANOTHER METHOD OF BREAKING APART THE POWER OF UNIONS AND THE AMERICAN WORKERS AND IMPOVERISHING THEM AS THEY DO IT. These kinds of positions are just one step above the other source of workers replacing public sector jobs.....prison labor getting $2 an hour.
The Board is requested to approve and authorize execution of an agreement with the following organizations to serve as Volunteer Stations for the Retired and Senior Volunteers Program (RSVP). The period of the agreement is July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, unless otherwise noted.
A grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) funds the RSVP. The grant pays 100% of the cost for the RSVP to volunteer and assist special needs clients who want to remain in their homes. While the Senior Volunteers are on duty, the grant provides for their life insurance, transportation and other benefits.
Another move by the Board of Estimates has the Head Start program .......a Federally funded program now being open to private donations. Now, in Maryland and Baltimore the reasons the government has no money is corporate fraud and corporate tax breaks. Rather than get these corporation to pay taxes.....Rawlings-Blake is allowing the Maryland Non-profit shadow government to 'donate' to an education program. When these donations are made....the donors control the policy of the program, where the program will be administered, and gets a tax write-off for doing it. In other words.....yet another public program is falling into the hands of rich/corporate donors because the government is starved from corporate fraud and evaded corporate taxes! When the Mayor's office starts circumventing Ethics Laws that are there to stop influence peddling and corruption......YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE INFLUENCE PEDDLING AND CORRUPTION.
TENS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM GOVERNMENT COFFERS BY CORPORATE FRAUD OVER THESE FEW DECADES. WE SIMPLY NEED TO REBUILD WHITE COLLAR CRIMINAL AGENCIES AND RECOVER THIS FRAUD AND WE CAN BALANCE EVERY GOVERNMENT BUDGET AT ALL LEVELS.
NO REPUBLICANS NEEDED......ALL OF THIS CAN BE FUNDED BY RECOVERED FRAUD. IF YOUR DEMOCRATIC POLITICIAN IS NOT SHOUTING FOR THIS....THEY ARE NEO-LIBERALS.
WE NEVER HAD TO HAVE SEQUESTRATION!
When the government solicits gifts......the gifts have strings. What is pay to play?
The Board is requested to endorse a governmental/charitable solicitation application to be submitted to the Board of Ethics of Baltimore City for donations to Baltimore City Head Start to close the nearly $900,000.00 funding gap due to the Congressional Sequestration action.
The period of the solicitation is August 12, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
No general funds are involved in this transaction.
The Mayor's Office of Human Services will solicit a broad range of potential donors and will not specifically target controlled donors, as required by Baltimore City Ethics Regulation 96.26B.
Baltimore City Head Start is a federally funded pre-school and family development program providing quality, comprehensive early intervention services to low-income children and families since 1965. Baltimore City Head Start provides educational, health, nutritional, social/emotional, and other services to enrolled children and actively engages parents in their children's learning and development by supporting parents' pursuit of their own goals toward self sufficiency.
Baltimore City Head Start, in partnership with 11 agencies, serves over 3,400 Head Start children 3-5 years of age, 170 Early Head Start children 0-3 years of age, and 6 pregnant women throughout Baltimore City in ten Head Start programs and one Early Head Start program for a total of 57 locations around the City.
Baltimore City Code Article 8, Section 6-26, prohibits solicitation or facilitating the solicitation of a gift. An exception was enacted in 2005 to permit certain solicitations that are for the benefit of an official governmental program or activity, or a City-endorsed charitable function or activity. Ethics Regulation 96.26B sets out the standards for approval, which includes the requirement that the program, function, or activity to be benefited and the proposed solicitation campaign must be endorsed by the Board of Estimates or its designee.
We all know how Enterprise Zones work.....tons of money going for affluent and corporate development using the poor for profit....so too with Health Enterprise Zones....Steering contracts, such as for electronic medical records, as well as new money for the HEZ program into these medically underserved areas is probably needed. But the experience in urban economic development -- from the Model Cities program of the 1960s to today's generous corporate infrastructure and other city-offered benefits -- suggests some caution. When local or state governments are distributing funds, the type of development often ends up benefiting well-connected interests rather than addressing the needs of local residents in the most effective ways. Indeed, enterprise zones, with their emphasis on deregulation and tax reductions rather than direct funding, were in many ways the mirror image of the heavily funded Model Cities projects, which often resulted in expensive buildings but little impact on local poverty.
We have a hospital group in Maryland called MedStar that is a private non-profit that is expanding all over the state. In other words....it is making so much money to allow it to expand that it is a corporation not paying taxes. We are seeing all of this health business development doing this and it mirrors all of the tax breaks and grants going to EBDI and Harbor East.....corporations and the rich winning big with taxpayer money.

Boston leisure centre gives thanks for 'continued and unwavering support' during 'very challenging time'
Proposed B&M store in Mablethorpe could create 40 new jobs
Developers have claimed that 40 new jobs will be created if plans for a new B&M store in Mablethorpe are approved.
By James Silcocks
22nd Oct 2021, 2:25pm
An artist's impression of the proposed B&M store for Mablethorpe.
Proposals for a retail unit and 60 parking spaces are being drawn up by Lincolnshire-based construction company, Lindum Group.
They include blueprints for a 14,000 square feet shop on a 1.3 acre site to the east of Tuplin Road, close to where the town's new Tesco store is based.
Lindum's plans are expected to be submitted to East Lindsey District Council this winter - and prior to this, public opinion is being sought online to determine support for the proposals.
Boston leisure centre gives thanks for 'continued and unwavering support' during 'very challenging time' Business
Consultation opens on massive solar farm plans that would power half of Lincolnshire Business
Lindum Land and Planning Manager Robert Jays said the new store would be accessed via an existing arm of the Peter Chambers Way roundabout.
He said: "B&M is one of the most popular shops in the UK today and we believe it would make a valuable contribution to retail provision in Mablethorpe.
"Its arrival would boost the local economy and provide important employment opportunities.
"We are committed to community involvement and would welcome local people's thoughts on the development proposals.
"The online consultation event is also the opportunity for people to ask any questions they may have about the B&M store we are proposing."
B&M was formed in 1978 and is now one of the leading variety retailers in the UK. From its first store in Blackpool, Lancashire, B&M has grown to more than 685 stores and employs more than 35,000 staff.

Q: How to make java library with nested JAR libs? I need save my application, that included external JAR libraries, in single JAR file for future use as single lib. When I export it to JAR file, all nested jars append to archive, but not work as part of single lib. What I do wrong?
How can I make nested libraries private for external application?

A: I think jars in a jar is not supported. But you can always extract the external JAR libraries and than create a jar containing their content and your classes in one jar.
This way you can also remove the parts of the external libraries, you don't need, to reduce the size of the jar you create.

A: Single Executable jar with all dependency nested is not possible by standard jar making process. Alternatively you can place all dependent jars in a folder parallel to your own executable jar.
There is another way to create Single Jar with all nested dependent jar with the help of One-Jar. I personally never tried this.
Hope this helps.

One of the things I love about researching and writing about sports statistics is when you discover some bizarre, out-of-ordinary stat that just doesn't make sense. Such is the case today.
Going back to the 1985-86 NBA season, I researched on Basketball-Reference.com the players who had 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists in a game when they played 25 or more minutes in a contest. The result? Six different players "accomplished" this feat a total of seven times. The most recent time was on March 2, 2014 when Philadelphia's Hollis Thompson played 25 minutes in a game against Orlando and had 0 points (on 0-for-three shooting) and had no rebounds or assists in the game.
Here's a look at those seven times when players had 25+ minutes played with 0 points, rebounds and assists.
Here's an interesting note about Fisher's game in which he played 34 minutes without a point, rebound or assist. The Lakers defeated the Rockets 103-102 in that game and it was a Fisher steal that sealed the win for the Lakers. So even with zeros on his box score line, Fisher was able to make a major contribution to the team's victory.
To generate a few more numbers about this rare stat, I changed the criteria to o points, rebounds and assists in games where a player played 15 or more minutes. Eleven players had three such games from 1985-86 to 2014-15 led by Shane Battier who played five games with that stat line. Here's a look at these 11 players.
how did you research it on basketball reference? did you search it somewhere? thx.
I do most of my stats research on basketball reference and their other sports reference sites.

There's something so delightful about mummifying poor Genevieve. Maybe it's those eyes, peeking out from under the layers of bandage the encase her head. Maybe it's the way she struggles for release that isn't going to come. Maybe it's the way she mewls and grunts through that packed mouth as she fights for freedom. Or maybe it's just that I enjoy seeing her suffer! She gets to do plenty of wriggling as she is affixed to the bench, but the band of tape around her middle makes sure she isn't going anywhere. Her eyes grow wide and she starts to beg as I begin actually mummifying her to the bench, wrap after wrap of tape covering her already cocooned body and gluing her in place until she's absolutely immobile! When I raise the bench so she becomes vertical, hanging with her feet off the ground as she remains welded to the heavy wooden object, she knows that this time, she's well and truly trapped!

He is best known for the discovery of the Higgs Boson Field (CERN, Switzerland, 2012), which not only confirmed the multi-verse space-time theory but opened the doorway to inter-dimensional Quantum Cultures.
It could be argued that art is the antithesis of science, communicating to its audience but not revealing 'how' it speaks to us while science seeks to question, probe and ultimately explain. Science therefore is often seen as a demystifying force but for me, the purpose of science (and indeed art itself) is to transmit the intricate details of Universal and humanistic experience.
Influenced by the Victorian era's attitudes towards progress I strive to amalgamate the two, Science imbued with a sense of romanticism, the exploration of artistic endeavor integrated with the 'noble pursuit' of advancing society through scientific discovery. Believing we all share a sense of curiosity for the tangible worlds just beyond our grasp, can we further enhance our societal relationship towards science through a more nostalgic perspective.

Church bells are the biggest and loudest musical instruments. The bells of Worcester Cathedral are considered to be one of the finest rings of bells in the world.
The Cathedral's tower contains a ring of 12 bells, three semitone bells and a bourdon bell, with a total weight of 16 tonnes. The 15 ringing bells were cast in 1928 by John Taylor & Co. of Loughborough, from the metal of the previous ring. These were cast in 1869 and the non-swinging bourdon bell was cast in 1868 and was re-tuned in 1928. It is used by the clock to strike the hours.
The ring is the fifth heaviest in the world, The bells are hung in the 1869 wooden frame which housed the previous ring. This sits on top of a wooden structure which directs the forces down onto the supporting corner pillars of the tower. It is referred to locally as the 'wigwam'.
The semitone bells make it possible to ring combinations of bells in different keys. The haunting sound of the Harmonic Minor Ten is unique to Worcester, and can be heard on Good Friday, Armistice Day, Remembrance Sunday and New Year's Eve.
To find out more about the cathedral bells and other bell towers around the city of Worcester, visit the Worcester Bells website.
The Cathedral is unique in having a purpose-built Teaching Centre where people are taught on the 8 special training dumb-bells, linked to computers - a ringing simulator. It is a unique resource available for all in the Diocese to use.

GamaMabs and MedImmune Enter Licensing Agreement to Develop ADC Targeting Cancer
Category: Biotech & Pharma 10/10/2017
GamaMabs
GamaMabs Pharma is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company developing optimized therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of cancer.
http://www.gamamabs.com/
Paris and Toulouse, France, October 10, 2017 – GamaMabs Pharma, a biotechnology company developing optimized therapeutic antibodies targeting AMHR2 for the treatment of cancer, and MedImmune, the global biologics research and development arm of AstraZeneca, today announced they have entered into a licensing agreement under which GamaMabs will use MedImmune's proprietary pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) toxin and linker technology to research and produce an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) as a potential cancer therapy.
GamaMabs will have the exclusive right to utilize MedImmune's proprietary PBD technology to develop an ADC against a single target, suitable as a therapeutic for a broad variety of solid tumors. MedImmune will receive an upfront payment, development and commercial milestone payments, as well as royalties on net sales. MedImmune has the first right to negotiate a license to develop and commercialize products created by GamaMabs Pharma with the PBD technology.
"This agreement will further strengthen our breakthrough pipeline in the oncology space and enhance treatment options for cancer patients, " said Stephane Degove, Chief Executive Officer at GamaMabs. "We remain steadfast in our commitment to broadening our oncology portfolio. Strategic partnerships such as this one, with a leader in the ADC field, ensure we will continue to expand upon our therapeutic offering for a broad patient base."
Similar to a navigation system that takes a molecule to a specific address in the body, GamaMabs' innovative antibodies, in combination with MedImmune's unique PBD technology, are expected to show a promising capacity to deliver the potent PBD payload to cancer cells expressing a selected target.
Ronald Herbst, Vice President, Oncology Research & Development, MedImmune, said: "MedImmune continues to advance our next generation antibody-drug conjugates — including our proprietary PBD technology—both internally and externally, with the goal of generating novel treatments to meaningfully improve the lives of cancer patients. Our license agreement with GamaMabs enhances our strategy with a partner who is likewise committed to advancing the latest in scientific innovation to discover new cancer therapies."
MedImmune's PBD technology was invented and developed by Spirogen, a company acquired by MedImmune in 2013. PBDs are a potent cytotoxic agent, or 'warhead,' which when coupled to a specific cancer targeting antibody, together known as an ADC, enable the selective killing of cancer cells. The agreement represents MedImmune's third such licensing agreement of its PBD technology.
GamaMabs' clinical pipeline in oncology includes the anti-AMHR2 GM102 monoclonal antibody, which enhances tumor cell killing through the activation of immune system cells.
About GamaMabs Pharma
GamaMabs Pharma, a French immuno-oncology biotechnology company, is a leader in the development of optimized antibodies targeting AMHR2 for the treatment of cancer. Gamamabs' first-in-class proprietary therapeutic monoclonal antibodies promise to have a broad commercial potential in cancer. GamaMabs Pharma's lead project is the first-in-class monoclonal antibody (mAb) GM102. This antibody, which targets the anti-Müllerian human receptor II (AMHR2/MISR2), entered a first clinical trial in gynecological cancers in H1 2016. Initial results are expected in 2017. The company develops low-fucose EMABling® antibodies (license granted by LFB) with increased tumor cell killing properties through a breakthrough activation of immune system cells.

'Mexicans in Wisconsin' tells tale of hardship, success
The story begins with a Mexican-born, classically trained musician and composer named Raphael Baez, who settled in Milwaukee in 1886.

The story begins with a Mexican-born, classically trained musician and composer named Raphael Baez, who settled in Milwaukee in 1886, played at churches and synagogues, taught piano, organ and musical theory and became a music professor at Marquette College.
Baez and his family were "early ambassadors from Mexico," writes historian Sergio M. González and they "experienced little of the hardship of those who would follow."
The story González tells in his book "Mexicans in Wisconsin," from Wisconsin Historical Society Press, is one of perseverance and struggle, family and faith, stretched across more than 130 years.
In many ways, it's a history that is both personal and universal.
"I wanted my parents and the broader Latino community of Wisconsin to know that we've been here for a long time," he said. "It's a similar message I want all Wisconsinites to understand. There's this misconception that Latinos have just gotten here recently. And, of course, I start with Raphael Baez for a reason. It's in the 1880s when Latinos first came here."
Over the decades, González's parents and countless others chose Milwaukee as home.
"My folks are both from Mexico, the state of Jalisco," he said. "Different migration stories. My dad's side of the family, his parents were actually from Arizona, the border region, the mining towns. But my dad was born in Mexico. He moved here when he was an infant. He grew up on the south side of Milwaukee, went to Milwaukee Boys Tech, is a plumber, a tradesman."
"My mom came in the '80s, of a different generation," he said. "She comes from a very small rural village in Mexico."
A July 1987 Milwaukee Journal Magazine article on "The Pulse of Hispanic Milwaukee" featured a cover photo of González, then 3 months old, cradled in his mother's arms while his father looked on as the family stood outside Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Chuch.
"I got to thinking what does it mean that the Pulse of Hispanic Milwaukee was in front of this church? And now my academic research is on religion as a place for community formation," he said.
González and his family moved from Milwaukee to Brookfield when he was in elementary school and he graduated from Brookfield Central High School.
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he was a triple major in secondary education, history and Spanish. For several years, he taught social studies and science in a dual language immersion program at a middle school in Madison.
But it was the protests over Act 10 — the law that all but eliminated collective bargaining for public workers — that sent him in a different direction. He returned to UW and to his calling in history. He's due to finish his doctoral work in May.
"I come from a union family, a labor-activist family," he said. "I just made the decision in 2011, I couldn't stick around in K-12 education the way things were going. I went back to grad school to study Wisconsin labor history."

The book draws from his doctoral research as he poured through oral histories, dug through newspapers and archival material and assembled the narrative. He wrote that he followed the footsteps of "tireless public historians" Arnoldo Sevilla and Margarita Sandoval Skare.
He tells of the waves of Mexican immigration to the state, including people brought to Wisconsin to work in the fields and the factories. The first wave was in the 1920s after nationality quotas were imposed on those coming from Europe, while immigration from the Western Hemisphere was left open.
"That's where, not just in Wisconsin, but across the country, you see Mexican immigrants coming in," he said. "The next big push was in the 1940s. That's not Mexican immigrants but Tejano migrants, 10,000 to 15,000 people coming up from Texas every single year to work in the state's fields."
After continual growth in the 1960s and 1970s, another wave came in the 1980s. "A different set of Mexicans coming in, sometimes documented, sometimes not," he said.
"And, of course, with the passage of NAFTA we see this huge uptick of undocumented immigration," he said.
RELATED: Alverno becomes first Wisconsin college to achieve coveted Hispanic institution designation
González said there are often two different conversations about immigration.
"It's either European immigration and it's encapsulated in a museum and it happened back then and communities have integrated and assimilated," he said. "Or, we're talking about undocumented immigration from Latin America. But there is nothing in between in our discourse today. But this bridges the gap that Mexicans are part of both of those stories and their history is very much a Wisconsin history."
His book details family life, the struggle of migrant workers and the rise of a vibrant workers rights movement in the 1960s led by Jesus Salas and the group Obreros Unidos.
It also dips into the importance of the United Community Center, the multiservice nonprofit that continues to this day, weaving together programs to serve those on Milwaukee's south side.
And there is ample discussion of roadblocks that faced Latinos in areas like housing and education, and an "unfriendly reception" that Mexicans received in the first decades of the 20th century.
But there are major successes, too, of growing political and business power, and Latino communities expanding outside big cities like Milwaukee and Madison.
There are important personalities like Salas, who served as a member of the UW Board of Regents and still advocates for Latinos.
González said community activist Juanita Renteria moved to Milwaukee in 1937 and later served as a bridge between generations, while Dante Navarro started Wisconsin's first Spanish-language radio program in 1949 and later ran unsuccessfully for public office.
According to projections, González said, "No population in the state will grow larger or faster than Latinos," who will number nearly 1 million by 2060, up from around 336,000 in 2010. Around 70% of the state's current Latino population is of Mexican heritage, he said.
"When I go around the country for academic conferences, the first thing people say is, 'There are Mexicans in Wisconsin? I didn't even know that.'
"Not only are there Mexicans in Wisconsin," he added, "they have so many histories that haven't yet been written. So I'm excited for the next generation of scholars that are going to come and write these stories."

"Melomel" is the name for a mead with fruit in it. Have you ever made a melomel and was disappointed by the fact that even though you had a full pound of fruit in there it ended up only having a hint of the fruit?
Or maybe you are going to make your first melomel and you want it to have a fruitier taste!
This tutorial gives you some tips and techniques for achieving a more potent fruit flavor in your mead making.
There are a whole lot of variations when it comes to making a fruit mead melomel. And there are a whole lot of different fruits that you can use to make your mead. For this tutorial I will simplify things a little bit and assume you are using some kind of typical fruit and you are using a pound of it. That's pretty standard.
The whole secret is to break down the fruit as efficiently as possible. This allows the juices within it to be released into the mead. And there are several different ways to do it.
Cut the fruit into small pieces. This causes much more surface area in contact with the mead and it breaks up the cells.
Put the cut fruits into freezer or ziploc bags and put the bags in the freezer for 24 hours. This freezing process causes ice crystals which break open the cells in the fruit.
About the honey you use. Clover honey is a good choice for a fruit mead. This is because clover honey is mild. It doesn't overpower the fruit flavor. Other types of honey can be a bit too strong - particularly wildflower honey.
1. Cut the fruit into small pieces. And cut in ways that really break up the fruit. Don't cut gently with the grain. Cut against the grain. The goal is to allow the juices of the fruit to escape into the mead.
2. Put the cut fruits into freezer or ziploc bags and put the bags in the freezer for 24 hours. This freezing process causes the fluid in the cells to expand and burst the cells.
3. Before adding the fruit to you mead you should break it up with a mallet. The goal is to further break open the cells and release the juices.
4. And for the safety of the yeast you need to bring the temperature of the fruit back up to about room temperature. You can do this by waiting. Or you can do this by warming it in heated water. Note that you may have to put the fruit in new bags after hammering.
5. Then go a head and add it to your mead.
Tip: I used a gallon jug with airlock for my fruit mead. But you can use a fermentation pail. It makes the addition and handling of fruit very easy.
2 Gallon Fermentation Pail with lid and drilled hole for airlock.
My Kindle book on how to make mead. It is a no-nonsense easy guide to making a one gall on batch of mead. And one gallon is a good place to start. It keeps your expenses down and it yields four bottles of wine. You can get it in the kindle store.
I have ebooks above if you want to get off to a quick start in mead making but some people really prefer a regular book and I have one of those too. Read more about it here and you can order it from amazon.com And as usual for me this is a small, no nonsense book that takes the approach of showing you in easy terms how to make mead.

Pranab bats for GST, key reform bills
Published: January 27, 201611:44 am
President Pranab Mukherjee on Monday urged parliamentarians to ensure early passage of pending key bills aimed at ushering in reforms and taking the country on the path of growth.
Though Mukherjee did not refer to the stuck Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill the allusion to the important legislation was clear as he had been impressing upon both the government and the Opposition in recent meetings to arrive at a consensus.
The GST Bill has been pending in Parliament because government and the Congress have so far failed to reach an agreement on three key issues — fixing a cap on the quantum of tax, levy of one per cent additional tax to benefit manufacturing states and a dispute redressal mechanism. Mukherjee was addressing the nation on the eve of the Republic Day.
In his speech, Mukherjee reminded the lawmakers of their "bounden duty" and urged them to ensure enactment of all "progressive" legislation after due discussion and debate, saying delays in decision-making and implementation would "only harm the process of development."
He noted that India was today a "rising power" and a country whose economic success was the "envy of the world" despite 2015 remaining a "year of challenge". He, however, stressed on the need to "revitalise the forces of growth" with reforms and "progressive" legislation.
"A spirit of accommodation, cooperation and consensus-building should be the preferred mode of decision-making. This year, with an estimated growth rate of 7.3 per cent, India is poised to become the fastest growing large economy," he said.
In his address, the President also gave a call for guarding against the forces of "violence, intolerance and unreason."
"Reverence for the past was one of the essential ingredients of nationalism. Our finest inheritance, the institutions of democracy, ensure to all citizens justice, equality and gender and economic equity. When grim instances of violence hit at these established values which are at the core of our nationhood, it is time to take note," he said.
The President called for "applauding" the achievements that India's democracy has achieved with investments in various sectors, including infrastructure, manufacturing, health and education.
"There will be, amongst us, occasional doubters and baiters. Let us continue to complain; to demand; to rebel. This too is a virtue of democracy. But let us also applaud what our democracy has achieved," he said.

About The Girl Who Buried Her Dreams in a Can
An inspirational picture book autobiography from Oprah Winfrey's "All-Time Favorite Guest"
This is the story of a little girl with big dreams.
All the girl ever wanted was an education. But in Rhodesia, education for girls was nearly impossible.
So she taught herself to read and write with her brother's schoolbooks and to count while watching cattle graze.
When the girl became a young wife and mother, she wrote her goals on a scrap of paper and buried them in a can—an ancient ritual that reminded her that she couldn't give up on her dreams.
She dreamed of going to America and earning one degree; then a second, even higher; and a third, the highest. And she hoped to bring education to all the girls and boys of her village.
Would her dreams ever come true?
Illustrated with Jan Spivey Gilchrist's graceful watercolors, Dr. Tererai Trent's true story of perseverance is sure to inspire readers of all ages.

If you are running any new conversion ads, since early June, you may already noticed a drop of your ads' performance. Or more specifically, a drop of their daily reach.
Well, if you ever followed Facebook Newsroom, a June 30th blog post explains this in an quite obscure way.
In short, Facebook is now giving some ads a probation.
This also perfectly explains why they always give a wide range of estimated reach. Though we noticed this estimated daily reach were available long times ago, since June the starting number starts from the least.
2> What Is The Relationship Between Reach and Your Ads Results?
And do you see the relations between reach, link clicks and results?
The more clicks the ads receives, the more results it gets.
Which means....? Those certain types of ads' performance will be affected due to the lower reach, during their probation period. Even though Facebook emphasised at the end of that blog, this update won't affect much.
3> What should we do?
Always bear in mind, Facebook is trying their best to build a positive social environment, every update they implement are all about it. Therefore, the more positive reaction (feedback) your ad receives, they more audience it will be able to reach, and vice versa.
But now you may ask, how can I know if my ads will get positive reactions or not?
The only thing I know is, you don't want to test only one ad creation. Because you don't want to start over and over again if the ads you run could not pass their probation.
What I mean is, it is not important of what I think or what you think of an ad, it is all about how your target audiences thinks of it. And by running different ad creatives, testing different images, ad copies, and landing pages during the probation period, we have higher chance to find the right one, earlier.


It was summer Sunday, streets mostly empty, curbsides surrendered to sun-glint. I had just moved back to New York after a year away. Exhausted from unloading boxes and retraining subway legs and feeling unsure about the job I was beginning the next morning, I was awake and out in a weekend AM following a friend's recommendation to a church far from my Brooklyn apartment. And when I slid into a pew and looked down at the bulletin, there on the cover was Mary Oliver's poem, "The Summer Day." This brief meditation on nature and our place in it and the fragility and promise of our lives (here's a link so you can discover it yourself) seemed both blessing and calling as I sat at the uncertain threshold of change.
Judging by a quick Google search, I'm not alone in having what I'll call "A Mary Oliver Moment." The internet is littered with nature photos underscored by an Oliver poem. A good friend of mine had her Mary Oliver Moment the summer after her divorce, on a backwoods trip with family and friends discovering inside an abandoned school bus a stack of carefully-crafted, hand-printed cutouts of Oliver's "When I am Among Trees" (link). The poem's message of confirmation–you can and must make your own unique, shining path through this life–secured it a permanent spot on her refrigerator, just as "The Summer Day" is now tacked to my front door for every morning when I head out.
In recognition of one of my favorite poets, here's a quick look at three (plus) Oliver books for this week's Buy, Borrow, Bypass.
BUY AND BYPASS: A Poetry Handbook (1994) and Rules for the Dance (1998)—OK, here's the moment in the post where I suggest the perfunctory bypass of a Mary Oliver book (not my favorite moment). But if you're a general reader or beginning writer looking for an easy-reading but still substantial, instructive introductory guide to poetry, buy A Poetry Handbook and bypass Rules for the Dance. Handbook is full of one of Oliver's major themes: The Call to Language. Oliver writes that "literature is the apparatus through which the world tries to keep intact its important ideas and feelings" and calls poetry "a life-cherishing force." Handbook includes an overview of poetic elements: sound devices, lineation, forms, diction, tone, voice, and imagery along with discussions of the practice of writing. Everywhere Oliver honors poetic design, a focus on the particular (as opposed to the general), and the "urgent wakefulness" of language. While Handbook is more poetry introduction, Rules for the Dance focuses wholly on metrical verse and is a fine read, though for those seeking to engage more deeply in poetic lineation and sound I would recommend James Longenbach's The Art of the Poetic Line.
and the responsibilities of your life.
Scatter your flowers over the graves, and walk away.
Be good-natured and untidy in your exuberance.
In the glare of your mind, be modest.
And beholden to what is tactile, and thrilling.
And find a friend or a library and borrow The Leaf and the Cloud, which isn't quite my favorite Oliver but still full of moments like the above. And like Oliver's poems, honor the gift—intricate physical mechanism and unique-in-all-the-world's-long-history convergence of imagination and experience—the life to which you give voice.

Liz Truss must not ignore the real problems blocking a true Brexit
|By Jayne Adye
With Liz Truss taking over from Lord Frost as the lead negotiator with the EU, Jayne Adye, Director of Get Britain Out argues that if she is to really help deliver a true Brexit, then she must also resolve the crisis which plagues our relationship with the EU over fishing, as well as other outstanding issues.
With the surprise resignation of Lord Frost and the continuing crisis facing the Prime Minister over historic compliance with Covid-19 restrictions, it may be easy for the majority of the public – and the media – to become distracted from some of the crucial issues which remain unresolved when it comes to Brexit and our relationship with the European Union. Among these are threats which continue to undermine our national sovereignty, including French President Emmanuel Macron's attempts at trying to intimidate the way we live our everyday lives by threatening power cuts and legal action against the UK. French fishermen continue to try and implement blockades surrounding ports to hinder goods crossing the English Channel – which also, by the way, affect EU businesses exporting goods to the UK.
Many of these threats come as a result of claims the UK has not granted enough licences to French fishing vessels to operate in UK waters. This is despite the UK granting well over 1,700 licences to EU vessels in the last year, and rolling over these licences to next year. Through all of this, over 93 per cent of French applications have been granted. Many of the seven per cent not granted permission have no right to fish in UK waters under the terms of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement, but apparently this doesn't matter to the French.
Thankfully, a threat to block the Channel in the days before Christmas has been cancelled, because – supposedly – the French fishermen want a break for the Christmas holidays. Evidently the threat to their livelihoods isn't that extreme then! However, we can be sure this cancelled blockade will not end their demands to fish in UK waters. French politicians – including Alain Cadec, a French Senator since 2020 – has claimed their Government must keep up the fight with the UK into 2026 and unbelievably, perhaps beyond then. On top of this, Clement Beaune, France's Minister for European Affairs, has had the temerity to say that Paris will be asking the EU to begin legal action against the UK for these rejected licences.
Why on earth do the French think they can demand the right to fish in another country's waters? As I have said before, I think French wine grape growers would be up in arms if we simply invaded their vineyards to 'steal' their produce – and we feel exactly the same about French fishermen 'stealing' our fish in our waters.
Liz Truss must take positive action with the EU now, as she gets to grips with her new responsibilities – let's hope her past history as a 'Remainer' will not re-emerge. She must stop the consistent appeasement of the French through concessions on fishing licences and the Prime Minister must start to concentrate on what is needed to finalise the post-Brexit issues – Boris must back her up.
There were many areas during the negotiations where Lord Frost succeeded mightily. However, fishing was unfortunately not one of them. If Truss does not reverse this pattern, the French – and the EU as a whole – will continue to think they can try and manipulate the UK for many years to come.
A key area where Truss can begin to assert her authority on behalf of the UK, is the rollover of thousands of existing fishing licences into 2022 which is due to happen on the 1st of January. Hundreds of these licences have the potential to contravene the 'Habitats Regulations and Marine Acts', passed by Parliament in 2017. This is because none of these licences granted to EU vessels ban the use of damaging fishing techniques – such as 'bottom trawling' which involves dragging heavy netting and other devices along the sea floor. Such techniques scar the seabed and destroy habitats for thousands of organisms changing the biodiversity of our waters. Brexit has created a key opportunity for the UK to take the lead in banning this type of technique, but as with so many areas of regulation, the Government is being too slow to act.
Northern Ireland may be the area of the negotiations which gets the most attention so far. However, the UK fishing industry and the health of our waters cannot be ignored.
With fresh impetus in talks, Liz Truss must push this agenda forward – but no doubt it will be difficult, especially with the militant French fishermen and farmers in other areas in the background – but it is important these issues are sorted out once and for all.
The Northern Ireland Protocol
On multiple occasions the United Kingdom has clearly demonstrated the basic failings of the Northern Ireland Protocol, and how every condition has been met for the UK to trigger Article 16. Yet here we stand with no definitive action taken and no meaningful negotiations scheduled until after Christmas. While the Protocol remains in force, goods cannot move freely within our own country and businesses across the country are suffering as a result, with shipments queuing up for checks at border posts and huge volumes of paperwork required.
It appears the PM has even conceded to continue allowing EU Courts to control and rule over Northern Ireland. No matter how much EU Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic dug his heels in, this is supposed to be a 'red line' which should never have been crossed. The entire United Kingdom has left the EU and, as a sovereign nation, we do not intend to continue to be controlled by a foreign power.
Throughout this year it has been clear the Prime Minister has not been willing to back Lord Frost on the triggering of Article 16 because he is scared of a fight. However, this has to change and Liz Truss must force the PM to stick to his election promises and find some principles.
We have already seen the petty behaviour of the EU shine through, not least from the French, when implementing a new travel ban for UK visitors to France – an action which had no basis in science, especially as the Omicron variant is already freely circulating throughout France.
This behaviour will only continue – and get much worse if we do not reject the actions of those in the EU. They may feel emboldened by Lord Frost's resignation, but at the moment, the recent ridiculous behaviour of Maros Sefcovic – dangling important compromises which should have been put in place from the beginning – cannot be allowed to continue. Liz Truss must come in ready to play hardball and expose these EU political games.
Liz Truss has the opportunity to cement her place as the real successor to Boris Johnson as Prime Minister if she delivers on her new responsibilities. However, this means delivering on all of the Brexit promises made to the British public when we voted to get Britain out of the EU – and not just about Northern Ireland.

Melbourne City unearth newest young star in FFA Cup win
By Oscar Rutherford
Raphael Borges Rodrigues lit up ABD Stadium on several occasions during Melbourne City's FFA Cup win over Hume City, raising suggestions he could be the next major product from City's talent conveyer belt.
In a game in which Mathew Leckie scored his first goal and Manuel Pucciarelli made his first start for the reigning A-League Men champions, those in attendance couldn't help but have their attention drawn to the 18-year-old's performance.
Borges Rodrigues was a constant threat throughout the match. He won the penalty which Marco Tilio missed after 11 minutes, was involved in the build-up to the goal and hit the woodwork in the second half.
The Dutch-born attacker offered a spark which was largely missing for City in the match, even if his contributions weren't reflected on the scoresheet.
Borges Rodrigues is the son of former Adelaide United striker Cristiano, who scored 11 goals in 49 games for the Reds between 2008 and 2010.
Like his father, Borges Rodrigues showcased flair and composure on the ball, as well as a cutting edge that on many other nights would have resulted in a goal or two.
The performance came in a side featuring several of City's young talents, headlined by Tilio. By adding his name to the list of inexperienced players seemingly ready to burst onto the A-League Men's stage, Borges Rodrigues may well compound the issues facing head coach Patrick Kisnorbo in terms of balancing playing time.
City are overloaded with superstar quality, most notably in attacking areas.
Already this season the likes of Tilio and Stefan Colakovski have struggled to secure sufficient playing time, whilst an increasingly dark cloud hangs over the future of Nathaniel Atkinson.
If these players, who have already proved their quality at A-League Men's level, are unable to dislodge the likes of Leckie, Jamie Maclaren and Andrew Nabbout, it is difficult to see how Borges Rodrigues will feature meaningfully over the coming season.
Having played in three A-League Men's games over the last two seasons, Borges Rodrigues has experienced glimpses of the top level to compliment his development in City's youth teams.
He featured prominently in City's NPL3 Victoria squad up until the season's premature cancellation, where he impressed with five goals in eight games.
Borges Rodrigues clearly has a bright future ahead. The challenge for him as well as the rest of the City squad is receiving adequate opportunities to develop at A-League Men's level.
Nonetheless, at only 18 years of age, Borges Rodrigues has plenty of time to establish himself as one of the next major stars of Australian football.

Shade-grown coffee farming is increasingly recognized as a more environmentally friendly and economically viable practice than traditional farming, as it results in significantly less loss of bird habitat as well as less pollution of streams and rivers. Large areas of Central and South America have been overgrazed and have seen significant erosion of steep slopes due to failed agricultural projects. Many communities cultivate small amounts of coffee, banana, citrus, and plantain, often with significant pest problems. Local farmers often cannot afford pesticides, resulting in crop failure, economic ruin, and the formation of low quality pasture called "pasto miel." Most of the cultivated land is in sugarcane, and the disposal of bagasse and ash byproducts from sugarcane farming frequently contaminates streams and rivers. New farming systems must meet the economic goals of the farmers without further degrading the environment.


The result that unfolded last night at Giants Stadium in the rematch between the Jets and Patriots – a 21-16 New England victory – was a microcosm of both teams' respective seasons.
One team – the Patriots – is possibly en route to a second Super Bowl in three years and the other – the Jets – is headed for an offseason of what ifs and significant roster retooling.
The 13-2 Patriots' win, their 11th in a row, was their seventh victory in eight games decided by seven points or fewer. For the Jets, it was their sixth loss in games decided by a touchdown or less.
Then 6-9 Jets are now assured of enduring their first losing season since 1996 when they finished 1-15 under Rich Kotite.
"I'm disappointed and I'm mad," Jet veteran cornerback Ray Mickens, one of the few remaining members of that 1-15 team, said. "I haven't felt like this since 1996. Coming into this season we had a lot of expectations and for it to be like this is tough to swallow. I could never have imagined us with this record with the talent we have here.
Yesterday's lament was a familiar one to the Jets. They had multiple chances to win the game in the fourth quarter and failed to make the one or two plays that could have brought them a win.
The Patriots' business last night was all about befuddling Pennington, who before last night had never thrown more than two INTs in a game.
His first was a point-blank pick by LB Tedy Bruschi on the second play from scrimmage, 40 seconds into the game. On the next play, Tom Brady (15-25, 138 yards, 2 TDs, 101.8 rating) connected with WR David Givens on the first of two TD passes he'd throw to him, this one from 35-yards out for a 7-0 lead.
Pennington's second pick was a ball that Patriot LB Willie McGinest batted in the air to himself near the line of scrimmage, and he returned it 15 yards for a TD and a 14-7 lead after Pennington had tied it at 7-7 on a one-yard scoring run.
Pennington's last was the Jets' final offensive play of the game when Patriot safety Eugene Wilson intercepted him with 35 seconds left and the Jets trying to drive for the game-winning TD.
In between, Pennington, who later scored on a 10-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter to cut the Patriot lead to 21-10, was picked off by Ty Law in the end zone and he also picked by Pat S Rodney Harrison.
He said the last time he remembered throwing five INTs was his first game as a "true freshman" at Marshall, against Tennessee-Chattanooga.
"But we won the game, so it didn't matter," Pennington said.
No such luck for the Jets last night, or the entire season for that matter.
