Explain why women failed to gain the right to vote between 1900 and 1914
Extracts from this document...
Title: Changing attitudes to women and their right to vote Explain why women failed to gain the right to vote between 1900 and 1914 In 1897 Millicent Fawcett formed the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. Its aims were to promote the enfranchisement of women by using peaceful, moderate, persuasive techniques. It did get the subject of women's suffrage into the public eye but the NUWSS' slow approach meant that the right to vote would have probably come at a much later date than hoped for by many. Instead, a small group of suffragists there were unsatisfied with the slow progress broke away to form a new kind of suffragist known as the suffragettes. They formed the Women's Social and Political Union. They were led by Emmeline Pankhurst with the help of her daughters Christabel and Sylvia. Instead of using the peaceful methods practiced by the suffragists, the suffragettes were violent and unruly. Often they were arrested for committing minor offences such as chaining themselves to Buckingham palace and generally disrupting the peace. However when Parliament refused to agree to their terms they turned to more violent, illegal methods of getting their message across. These included arson, smashing windows and assaulting MPs. Women were refused the right to vote because the Prime Minister at the time was Herbert Asquith who although was a liberal, was utterly against the enfranchise of women. ...read more.
Women played an enormous role during WWI. When the conscription came into place, large numbers of the nations work force went out to war so it was up to women to fill the roles. Source A is an extract from a speech made by Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst in March 1908. It discusses how important it is that women have the right to vote and states that women who join the campaign do not have to give up their duties at home. Its intention was to inform people about the suffragette movement and to show women who were considering joining the campaign that they would not need to neglect their traditional duties. It is useful because it is a primary source and shows exactly what the suffragettes (particularly Emmeline Pankhurst) thought. Its limitations are that it is one sided, biased and only shows the points of view of the Suffragettes and not the general public. This source disagrees with the statement because it shows that people were campaigning for a change in the voting system before the war. Source B is a postcard issued by the Suffragettes in 1910. It shows all the things that women can be without being able to vote (e.g. doctors, teachers, and mayors) and all the things that men can be and be able to vote (convicts, drunkards, owners of white slaves etc). ...read more.
This source disagrees with the statement because it suggests that the male attitude towards women was negative even when they were proving themselves by working and contributing to the upkeep of the country. In my opinion, WWI had a large impact on the campaign for the enfranchisement of women and helped a great deal with their cause because it showed men (and women) who opposed votes for women that women were sensible, responsible and just as capable of making decisions as men. However the women who were eventually enfranchised were middle aged upper class women and not the young working class women who had actually contributed most to the war effort. Thus disclaiming the statement that women got the right to vote because of their work during WWI. One could argue that women had been voting in local elections for some time so it was natural that national elections would be next. One could also argue that the whole voting system was changing (e.g. they were allowing overseas British citizens to vote) so it was obvious that the next natural step would be for women to get the right to vote. If it wasn't for people like Millicent Fawcett and Emmeline Pankhurst who initiated the whole campaign and people like Emily Davies who died for the cause, the war would have made no difference at all and women would have possibly never have gotten the right to vote. ...read more.

Mum left feeling violated after falling victim to burglars
PUBLISHED: 19:30 25 October 2018
Hundreds of pounds of musical equipment and power tools were stolen in a spate of late night burglaries across east Ipswich.
Mum-of-two Jo Reeder keeps her daughter's musical equipment locked away in one of her sheds, but noticed on Wednesday that high-value items were missing.
Two microphone stands, a microphone and an amplifier were taken from the shed, despite the fact there were initially no obvious signs of a break-in.
"I only realised on Wednesday that the window had been taken off and put back in place- so it didn't look like anything had happened until we noticed hundreds of pounds of equipment were gone," said Ms Reeder, of Alan Road in Ipswich. "I have two teenage daughters and I feel like our private space has been violated."
The single mum said she is worried for her family's safety and fears they might come back for more.
"The weirdest part of it all is that one of the microphone stands has been found in our other shed at the end of our garden. I'm worried that whoever did this left it there and is going to come back again."
Ms Reeder has reported the theft to police.
Aaron Lloyd, who also lives in the IP3 area, shared his neighbour's CCTV footage on Facebook which shows a hooded figure shining torches in car windows and trying to open car door handles.
He posted the footage which was taken 2.08am on Tuesday and asked if anyone noticed the would-be criminal. He added: "He's been robbing around IP3 the past two nights...
"All my Makita tools are marked AL so if anyone is offered any, let me know please."
The video shows the offender approaching a van and looking inside the passenger window, before attempting to get into the door of a parked car.
The post received 405 shares and already has 14k views online- with other victims expressing their concerns on social media.
Alexander Liam Smith commented: "Someone tried breaking into my van a couple of days ago. They drilled the keyhole but didn't get in."
He later mentioned that his shed also got broken into a week ago, similarly to the incident on Alan road.

First off, cheers to those onboard Northwest flight 253, especially they guy who subdued the attempted pants-bomber.
After the failings on multiple levels of security, airline shares are taking a hit today as people speculate about tighter security, which would slow travel and hurt profitability.
Arline stocks are off about 5% today, while security firms American Science & Engineering (ASEI) and OSI Systems (OSIS) are up handily on the day.
In ASE's case, part of today's jump is due to a December 24th announcement by the US Army that they would be purchasing 37 Z-backscatter Xray trailers for use in Afghanistan. With an average price tag of $1million, this could guarantee ASE hits its 2010 fiscal year earnings targets. ASE and OSI also offer products that might have detected the explosives used in the failed bombing last week.

This is your personal journey to become more of who you want to be. This is your session; no intrusive questions, nothing to explain. Fear, anger, anxiety, and emotional pain can be debilitating, and hinder us from being who we truly are.
The ultimate goal of BEAM LiFE coaching is that you will no longer need my services! You will have found your way of life while feeling happy, joyous, and free.
The BEAM LiFE process is gentle and non-invasive, developed to help clients release these sensations, uncomfortable emotions, and tension in their mind and body. The process guides you to find the best way for you to develop the positive habits that will support your journey.
I am an educator, facilitator, and coach who holds a space for you to develop who you want to be. The process is ultimately unique to each individual. What's in it for you?
BEAM LiFE Coaching offers a dialogue to investigate what you would like to achieve through our coaching relationship. With an equally respectful coaching relationship our work together will enable you to develop competencies in Self-regulating new skills (i.e. maintain healthy routines and habits) and increase your quality of life. You will have the clarity to know what's best for you, the confidence in what you are doing, and the courage to be…you!
The BEAM LiFE Process is developed by me, Eva, and is a collection of modalities, techniques, and trainings (three of them are mentioned below) combined into a unique formula that integrate
The focus is on supporting you to connect with your 'Self', with your own internal guidance system, with your core intuitive intelligence, hence the name: Core Coaching.
In this comprehensive modality you will learn how to:
Somatic Experiencing is a therapeutic modality focusing on the resolution of symptoms arising from traumatic stress. As Dr. Peter Levine says "the sessions are not about reclaiming memories or changing our thoughts and beliefs about how we feel, but we look at the sensations that lie underneath our feelings." SE offers unique insight into biological processes that support or disrupt the freedom of attention necessary to achieve our life goals. Our aim is to help you access the body memory of the event, not the story. We don't discuss what happens if you don't want to.
Expected results are:
EmRes is a process that has changed the way to resolve emotional difficulties. It is a process for regulating disruptive emotional and behavioral patterns, and very effective when used to resolve conditions such as:
Disclaimer: We are not Psychological or Therapy Professionals. You should always seek the advice of a Professional before deciding the right treatment option for you or your child. Any advice we give is for educational and informational purposes only, and should not be considered medical, legal or financial advice. Consult with a medical doctor before making any changes to you or your child's lifestyle. This website is for information only, and not a replacement for professional diagnosis, medication, or therapy.
I hope that you will take a few minutes to read the following and fill in a few details for me. This is a brief letter explaining what I do and do not do as an Integral Coach, and my coaching perspective including Somatic Experiencing (SE), Somatic Touch Work (STW) , and EmRes sessions. Please read the following carefully and feel free to ask if you have any questions. At the end of this description you will be asked to sign an acknowledgement of your understanding of my scope of practice.
I have been in the field of helping, supporting, and coaching for over 28 years. In the beginning I worked mostly with addictions and abuse. After I graduated from New Ventures West coaching school in 2002, I also include Integral Coaching for people and professionals who want less stress and more balance in their lives. I have a Professional Coaching Course (PCC) Certification from New Ventures West. The PCC is an Accredited Coach Training Program through the International Coach Federation (ICF).
As a wonderful addition to my practice I also graduated from the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute's Three-year training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), and an approved session provider of this modality. This work is founded on the research and clinical explications offered by Dr. Peter Levine, creator of the therapeutic modality Somatic Experiencing (SE), and the author of the books Waking The Tiger, and In An Unspoken Voice.
It should be stressed that SE is neither a distinct psychotherapeutic practice nor a bodywork technique. Instead SE, particularly in my private practice, is a nervous system reeducation methodology for people who are experiencing distress, either physically or psychologically. It is also appropriate for people searching for a more complete integration of their experiences that can lead to a greater freedom of choice and fulfillment: physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually.
If you so desire to explore the world of SE, a part of our work will involve me encouraging you to pay attention to those aspects of you that are beyond and beneath your words, namely your body, your senses, your feelings, and images.
As an addition in the field of trauma healing, I have had the opportunity to train and become certified by Cedric Bertelli in the healing method called EmRes. Cedric is the founder of The Emotional Heath Institute https://www.emotionalhealthinstitute.org/
My work then is as an educator and coach who facilitates the awareness of my client's attention toward mental, emotional, and bodily well-being, which is ultimately unique to each individual. I have worked with groups and individuals in areas including:
In a BEAM LiFE Process experience, all will be available as part of the process, and will be personalized according to you.
In our sessions together, we will spend our time talking, exchanging ideas and perspectives about your goals, dreams, and desires. I shall want to know about you, to the degree that you are willing and able to share.
On occasion, and only with your agreement, I use Core Coaching touch. Often the touch involves remaining in our chairs and experiencing 'grounded touching', like a foot touching a foot or a hand on a shoulder. At other times, I may invite you to use a table where I shall work with systems in your body in an attempt to open blocks and move energy. I do not manipulate, but only support your body. Before any of this table work takes place, I shall inform you of what we are going to do and why, and ensure that you feel safe. I shall also always ask you permission before I place a hand on any area of your body.
I look forward to our upcoming time together; an opportunity to explore what is possible for YOU!

Who knows, the tournament may finally take off this weekend. The South Africans may even fill a stadium.
I won't hold my breath.
The first game, New Zealand and Australia, I thought was decent enough. I have to admit that I was shocked by the number of empty seats in Bloemfontain for the 'Boks-All Blacks match. (Must be something in South Africa, most of the South African club matches against the Lions were played in front of mostly empty seats as well.)
I do think the Tri Nations need to add Argentina, Tonga, Samoa or even Japan (Hey, the Six Nations has Italy)
'cause that travel itinerary is sooo realistic. the shortest flight from NZ to SA is about 16 hours.
haha... very funny... :P
in my (humble) opinion, the northern hemisphere's style of rugby suckzzzzz... (with the rare exception of the French when they manage to play a decent game)...
btw i'm as independent a person as you are going to get on this topic (bcz i'm not from any of the big rugby playing countries)...
And that's all we ever hear -
i.e. the stereotypical SH = fantastic, NH = boring bs - when in reality there are plenty of exciting games up here and plenty of dull-as-dishwater games down under (and vice-versa).
All I'm saying is that, after the Lions tour, the 3N hasn't really hit the heights has it? And not being able to fill the stadia is nothing short of disgraceful.
As for travel itinerary - yes it would be a problem under the current scheduling but not necessarily if the tournament was revamped. The reality is that the TV revenues drive the schedule - to the detriment (imho) of the tournament itself.
Too true, maybe the conference model of the NBA and MLB needs to be considered. Going forward, anyone wanna swap an AB's jersey for a Scottish one?.
have a great holiday ya lucky bastard :)
I didn't mean to say that all northern hemisphere games are boring, just that the interesting ones are few and far in between.. :D
Personally i prefer to watch an expansive game of rugby with a lot running with the ball in-hand... on this account the ABs, Boks and French are hard to match...
I do concede that the northern hemisphere, especially England, do put on some interesting games (the Lion's tour of 2005 comes to mind ;D
It's alright TF you should enjoy this year's Tri Nations with non ELV rules dictated by the IRB. You can expect games dominated by penalty shoot outs and 90% fly half kicking. Should warm the cockles of most NH supporters. Myslef - I'm being put to sleep.

Queen's University Pavilion, Belfast Education Building, Northern Ireland Building, Irish Architecture
Queen's University Pavilion, Northern Ireland
Belfast Education Development – design by Burwell Deakins Architects
25 Apr 2013
Queen's University Belfast
Design: Burwell Deakins Architects
Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland
Queen's University Pavilion
Burwell Deakins gets planning for work at Queen's University Belfast
Burwell Deakins Architects has received planning permission for its £2.8m project at Queen's University Belfast. The practice has designed a series of learning spaces across the campus to create innovative focused and informal study spaces that promote collaborative learning. The project will involve the redesign of seven lecture theatres and the creation of a new pavilion at the heart of the university.
The 250 sq m pavilion sits next to one of the university's main lecture theatres, which itself will be remodelled as a collaborative lecture facility as part of Burwell Deakins Architects' plans. Designed in Cor-ten steel and glass, the strong geometric form of the pavilion has been designed to create varied learning spaces within.
The plans for the campus include the refurbishment of the seven auditoriums and follows Burwell Deakins Architects' award-winning lecture theatre designs at Loughborough Design School, where the practice's 'Connect' auditoria seating system for group-based and didactic learning was first used. To complement this style of learning, new 'theatre wardrobes' – which house a range of new technological teaching equipment – will be included in each auditorium, helping redefine the relationship between student and teacher. These will include new touch screen projectors, which will allow staff giving lectures to face the students whilst writing on the lecture boards.
The new and refurbished spaces are located either side of an existing circulation route that will connect the different types of learning spaces. This will create a sense of continuity between spaces to encourage the exchange of knowledge rather than areas being isolated as individual rooms
Nicholas Burwell, Director at Burwell Deakins Architects, said: "Broadly speaking, all the work we're doing at Queen's is about enhancing knowledge transfer and revolves around introducing dynamic learning structures and technologies.
"When working at Loughborough Design School, we found that the design and thinking behind university auditoriums was rather prosaic and didn't reflect pedagogic changes. We used our experience to probe the challenges of creating a much closer relationship between lecturer and student.
"We consulted with students and staff to help create a design that revolves around enhancing the relationship between the two, using a layer of technology alongside the development of innovative seating plans that challenge the traditional didactic character of lecture theatres."

After school tutoring is offered to students that have been identified and assigned to the tutoring session after school. They get help with homework, read and have logs signed and complete assignments as needed. The after school tutoring group is held a few times a year, meets three days a week and comes home on the 5pm bus.
The Responsible Thinking Process (RTC) is our approach to student discipline here at Santa Maria Middle School. This approach is designed to help students assume responsibility for their actions. It focuses student's thoughts on why their behavior may be inappropriate and through a series of questions, asked by the teacher, provides support for students to use appropriate behavior and remain in class.
Wake-Up is a program sponsored by the Phoenix Police Department, which meets once a week after school and one Saturday a month. This program is one of community service. Students visit an "assisted living" care facility, St. Mary's Food Bank, in addition they will receive mini classes on helping others, anti-gang, and community related classes.
Santa Maria Middle's chapter of Honor Society is dedicated to service both in and out of school. We work to improve our community and learn leadership skills through service projects such as Box Tops for Education fundraising, Fowler Christmas Angels, campus cleanup, and serving the needs of other clubs and groups on campus. Students in Honor Society are chosen based on academic excellence, personal integrity and willingness to serve others.
Santa Maria Middle School is also part of The Valley Junior High Athletic Conference, a nonprofit organization that includes twenty-four middle schools in the valley. The middle school student needs to maintain academic eligibility to remain on the school athletic team. Athletes need to maintain passing grades in all academic or special area classes. Grades that fall below the requirements will be considered ineligible until the next grade check. Sports offered throughout the year include: Boy's Flag Football, Boy's & Girl's Soccer, Boy's & Girl's Basketball, Girl's Volleyball, Track & Field, Softball/ Baseball, and Cheer leading.
STEM Club(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)meetings take place on Mondays from 4:00–5:00 PM in room 611.During the year STEM Club members will be engaged in science based learning experiences which include but are not limited to coding, online games, robotics, engineering design, challenges and scientific experimentation. Student members will participate in two field trips to Arizona State University during the year. In order to join STEM Club, students must complete an application obtained from Ms. Neilssen in room 611 during the school day.Participation is limited to 30 students per quarter. Students who are committed to more than one quarter are given preference.
Santa Maria Middle school is a supporter of Unified Special Olympics. Students with disabilities compete or play an instrument alongside their peers at different events throughout the school year. For example, we have a Unified Special Olympics'Ukulele band that performs at the Christmas and end of year band concerts. Along with the Ukulele band, our school sponsors Unified Athletics. The students compete in a bowling tournament in the Fall and attend a Super Special Olympics event in the Spring.
SMMS proudly participates in the "R" word campaign on the 1st Wednesday in March. The campaign signifies our school's pledge to not use the "R" word here at SMMS, but to instead use words that empower and respect all members of our school community. We are very proud here at SMMS to call our campus a truly inclusive place for all to feel welcome.

Look at that long staple.
He's originally from New Zealand
but has been living in Wyoming for a lot of years.
and no nicks or cuts on the sheep is the goal.
I went to a sheep-shearing once and was enraptured. The good shearers certainly do have style -- and fitness, oh my.
I didn't know about the inferior belly wool. What happens to it? Is it inferior just because it's dirtier?
Your photos are the best documentary, as ever!
Gretchen Joanna,
I am always, always enraptured by shearing. I could watch a man shear all day long. Fitness...Kerry has that! I always think of shearing as a young man's job, but he proves me wrong.
Belly wool is dirtier, yes, and that requires more processing, plus I believe it is courser so it would go into things like rugs and the like.
How wonderfully timely to have those extra hands around that needed some practice! Hat's off to Kerry!!ReplyDelete
Many hands made light work! Yes, Kerry sheared as many sheep as any of the men there.Delete
How cool! I love the idea of your wool being the best of the best!
Now, time for lambing!
Here we go....just a few more days.Delete
I love watching the shearing. The sheep in our neighborhood at the homestead don't get shorn until later in the spring. Those shearers are amazing (and fast). Such hard work they do. Do you spin? I've always thought I wanted to learn.ReplyDelete
I only spin in circles! Ha!Delete
Wohhh that is a lot of wool. I always find it so interesting to see sheep sheared. Well a spinner can always tell what is the best wool!!! ClariceReplyDelete
About 2500 lbs of wool.Delete
I love reading about this, Jody, even though the sheep look so VERY cold!!! Brrr. Still, 54º and no wind -- that's not too bad. Good job! I know you're excited and proud to have all that lovely wool on its way to market.ReplyDelete
It's getting cold now. Just 4* tonight. The girls will feel it. Thankfully we have barns to put them in overnight.Delete
Fascinating post - thank you for sharing.
The lambing season is coming up in England. I love that we can go to farms and watch them being born - it is so magical - you just want to cheer the mamas on! I think we would love to have a few sheep - I don't know if we'd ever do it, but we are smitten with the idea :)
The nice thing about sheep is that they are fairly easy to handle during lambing time. Much easier than cows. I'm glad you stopped by.Delete
Wow! This is truly amazing to me. I know so very little about sheep. One of our neighbours are now running some, and everytime I see them out there, I think of y'all (just as I did at midnight last night, when the girl's woke up and I stood at the kitchen window getting drink afterwards and saw that big fat full moon!)
And as I ramble away, YES!, wouldn't it be something to meet that lady in Nebraska! You should at least try to send her an e-mail. How neat!
love the sheep(s)...they are always smiling, even if they are bare nekked.ReplyDelete
A very interesting post and so good you had suitable weather, extra hands and a good outcome of a good quantity of quality wool.ReplyDelete
It was a great day for shearing all around.Delete
We've met Kerry before, haven't we? He is like...famous! :) That would be cool to meet the lady who likes your wool. That would make a very cool blog post. I like seeing it baled up like that. Such a visual! That is a lot of work.ReplyDelete
This is the first time we've had Kerry. you're thinking of Chuck!Delete
Poor sheep. Make me cold just looking at them.
I love reading your comments. Thanks for stopping in. Sorry, but due to spam, only registered users can comment.

A recent paper exploring the benefits of marriage and relationships will scupper the plans of anyone playing the 'it's only a bit of paper' card, as it has been revealed that marriage is actually good for your health.
According to the study which was conducted at Cardiff University's School of Medicine, not only do nuptials boost physical health in men and mental well-being in women, but the longer a marriage lasts, the longer and more satisfying life will be on average.
The paper refers to a study which involved millions of individuals over many years spanning seven European countries, which found that married couples had mortality rates 10 – 15 per cent below the population as a whole. This figure tended to further increase the longer a couple had been married.

The recount today, May 30, of Zeeland ballots confirmed the passage of the May 6 Tulip City Airport regional tax.
Zeeland's recount showed the Tulip City Airport regional tax didn't pass by four votes in the city — it passed by five.
The recount took little more than an hour Friday, May 30.
Holland Area Taxpayers spokesman Al Friend said he was satisfied with the process.
"There was an error," he said. "It just wasn't in our favor."
The single ballot that changed the count to 513 "yes" and 508 "no" wasn't a mistake, Ottawa County Elections Coordinator Brooke Slagle said. It was filed absentee and considered by the counting machine to be an overvote because the voter filled in the "yes" oval completely, and lightly circled the "no" oval.
If the resident had voted in person, he or she would have seen the machine kick back the ballot and would have been able to recast the ballot, Slagle said.
Voters in the city of Holland, Holland Township, Zeeland and Park Township decided the Tulip City Airport tax issue May 6. The tax passed by wide margins in the city of Holland and in Park Township, but by only four votes in Zeeland. Of the 1,026 votes cast in Zeeland, six were not counted in the airport tax question. In five of those the person selected neither yes nor no. One was the overvote.
To become official, the tax had to pass in the city of Holland as well as one or more municipality with equal or greater tax base. Zeeland was that tipping point.
The tax will be on July's bill, officials said.
"The recount is the recount. It's done," Friend said, saying he would not pursue the issue further until it comes up for re-approval by the voters in five years.
Observers from both sides of the issue leaned over two tables and watched as the two teams of canvassers — one Democrat, one Republican — slowly counted each stack of ballots Friday morning at the Howard Miller Community Center in Zeeland.
They checked to make sure the seal numbers matched, then that the number of ballots in each box matched the number recorded. Only after this did they count each "yes" and each "no" vote.
"I'm gratified that the vote came out positive," Zeeland Mayor Les Hoogland.
Hoogland is also a member of the West Michigan Airport Authority and, with his wife, donated $100 to the Jobs and Economy Team.
"I really had great confidence in the accuracy of the Zeeland city clerk, her staff, her poll workers," JET consultant Jim Storey said.

This really is the most lip-smacking dinner. Served with fresh crusty bread and a good salad, it's like heaven on a plate! It's based loosely on Maple Chicken & Ribs from Nigella Express.
- 12 chicken thighs with skin and bone still on
- 250 ml apple juice (as sharp as possible)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 star anise or 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
- 1 cinnamon stick (halved)
- 6 cloves garlic (unpeeled)
- Put the chicken pieces in a large freezer bags or into a dish.
- Add the remaining ingredients, squelching everything together well, before sealing the bag or covering the dish.
- Leave to marinate in the fridge overnight or up to two days.
- When the marinating time is up, take the dish out of the fridge and preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6/400ºF.
- Pour the contents of the freezer bag into one or two large roasting tins (making sure the chicken is skin-side up), place in the oven and cook for about an 45 minutes, by which time everything should be sticky and glossed conker-brown.

The last time we saw city council member Tom LaBonge he was singing. In a video. And the video was a love letter to Los Angeles.
It's no shocker, then, that the city official was out with the mayor and Council President Eric Garcetti a few days back, talking up the spankin' new Visit Hollywood 2010 program, which is a multi-month spotlighting of various debuting and just-debuted stays/sights(think the new W Hotel and the upcoming King Kong attraction at Universal) and good discounts around the area.
Plus, Visit Hollywood will be celebrating the Rock Walk's 25th birthday. And the Walk of Fame's 50th. And Starline's 75th.
Starline's 75th! Wish we could ride along with the tourists-on-tour company circa 1935 for day. We're picturing it now: "On our right is the Chinese Theatre, on our left is the famous Roosevelt Hotel..."
Well, wait. That could be today, too, actually.

What is the meaning of SUPLADO?
SUPLADO is the tagalog word for Snobbish. Suplado is for male and Suplada is for the opposite sex its not exactly the direct translation of Suplado but this attitude is widely used in tv, comics, and movies. I shall give you examples of characters who are Suplado so that you may understand its meaning:
Batman - He is the most Suplado character in DC Comics, back then during the 60's Bruce Wayne is a bit campy but thanks to Frank Miller he became DC Comics' most popular character because of his Suplado attitude towards fellow superheroes and villains. Have you ever wondered why he suddenly disappears in the middle of his conversations with Commissioner Gordon? That's because he's Suplado!
The Hulk - Bruce Banner wants to be left alone. All incarnations of this monster in comics Green, Grey, Red, and even the Lou Ferrigno tv series of the Hulk has one common trait and that is being Suplado. If you don't believe me try to remember what happens everytime people don't take his famous catchphrase seriously … "Don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry!"
Daffy Duck – A wild and zany screwball, Daffy was Warner bros. most popular character even before Bugs Bunny, he's the king of parody in the animation world because of Duck Dodgers, Stupor Duck, Duck Twacy, and Robin Hood Daffy. Do you know that at one time he became a Green Lantern in one episode of Duck Dodgers? If not then Daffy has more reason to say his most popular catchphrase "You're Despicable!"
Stone Cold Steve Austin – WWE's most popular superstar during the late 90's attitude era, Austin traded his Ric Flair like persona Stunning Steve Austin for a more Suplado character that includes giving your boss the finger when he pisses you off, and a Stone cold stunner! Austin 3:16 became a household name with multiple WWE Championships under his belt, movies, and a hall of fame ring the Tough Enough host must be so thankful that he became Suplado, and that's the bottomline!
The Rock – Another WWE superstar who became Suplado after having a bad gimmick, and guess what happened after that? The people's champ became the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. Dwayne Johnson couldn't be happier after having WWE Championship belts, and a movie career in Hollywood that other wrestlers envy so much. But It doesn't matter what they think anyway!
Stanley Chi – The Philippines' Mr. Suplado, judging from the picture of the Suplado Tips author, he doesn't even want to have his picture taken. How Suplado can you get!
Suplado is the new Sexy!
If you wanna learn the art of being Suplado then I suggest you grab a copy of Suplado Tips it's now available at all leading bookstores nationwide for only 95 Pesos. For Pinoys abroad who wanna order online log on to www.psicompublishing.com

Housing permits fell 1.4 percent in November as a decline in the multifamily segment offset a rise in the single-family segment. Total permits were issued at a 1.298 million seasonally adjusted annual rate in November, down from 1.316 in October. Housing permits are one of the AIER leading indicators. Despite the drop in November, permits have been on a rising trend, resulting in a positive contribution in our business cycle model.
Single-family permits rose 1.4 percent to 862,000 at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in November, up from 850,000 in October. The single-family segment had gains in three of the four regions in the report. The Northeast rose 3.8 percent to 55,000 from 53,000 in October, the Midwest posted a 3.1 percent rise to 131,000, and the South had a 2.4 percent increase to 467,000. The West was the only region to show a decline in the single-family segment, dropping 2.3 percent to 209,000 (see chart).
Permits for structures with five or more units fell 8.8 percent in the month to 395,000 while structures with two to four units rose 24.2 percent to 41,000 from 33,000. From a year ago, structures with five or more units are down 7.7 percent while structures with two to four units are unchanged.
Housing starts rose 3.3 percent in November on gains in both the multifamily segment and in the single-family segment. Total starts were 1.297 million at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in November, up from 1.256 in October.
Single-family starts rose 5.3 percent to 930,000 at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in November, up from 883,000 in October. The single-family segment had gains in two of the four regions in the report. The South had an 8.4 percent increase to 515,000 while the West rose 11.4 percent to 224,000. The Northeast was unchanged at 63,000, and the Midwest posted an 11.1 percent drop to 128,000.
Starts for structures with five or more units rose 0.8 percent in the month to 359,000 from 356,000. From a year ago, structures with five or more units are up 11.1 percent.
Overall, single-family housing construction continues to rise while the multifamily segment has plateaued. Strong consumer fundamentals provide support for demand, though rising prices and rising mortgage rates offset some of the support.

What Arthur Burns Broke, Paul Volcker Fixed
Paul Volcker, who served as chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987, passed away this week at the age of 92. He is widely credited with ushering in a new era in Federal Reserve policy making, where much more attention is given to controlling inflation.
When President Carter appointed Volcker to the Fed, inflation was approaching double digits for the second time in less than a decade. Arthur Burns, who began his tenure as Fed chair in 1970 when inflation was around 4.90 percent, saw inflation rise to 11.51 percent in 1974 Q4, fall to 5.13 percent by 1976 Q4, and begin climbing again thereafter. Inflation rose from around 6.43 to 8.52 percent during G. William Miller's brief tenure from 1978 to 1979.
Before Volcker, Fed chairs occasionally denied their ability to control inflation. Arthur Burns referred to cost-push inflation (in contrast to the demand-pull inflation caused by faster money growth). "The rules of economics are not working in quite the same way as they used to," he told Congress in 1971.
There were dissenting views, to be sure. But, for most of the 1970s, they were coming from outside the Fed. Milton Friedman, for example, called Burns out at the December 1971 American Economic Association annual meeting. It was not cost-push inflation, Friedman claimed, but "erratic and destabilizing monetary policy [that] has largely resulted from the acceptance of erroneous economic theories."
Volker changed that. He acknowledged that the Fed could bring down inflation and then set a course to do just that. Moreover, he did so with great resolve.
Engineering a disinflation is a costly proposition. The central bank must cut the growth rate of money to bring down inflation. However, cutting the growth rate of money also tends to fool producers into thinking there has been a decrease in the relative demand for their products. As a result, they produce fewer goods and services — which often means laying off workers — until they realize the error and adjust their prices down accordingly.
The underproduction problem can be mitigated, to some extent, by credibly announcing the policy in advance. If producers reduce their inflation expectations in line with the policy, they will not be fooled into underproducing.
But that is easier said than done. It is difficult to credibly announce a policy in normal times. Most folks just don't pay that much attention to — or understand — monetary policy. It is harder still when the central bank has failed to live up to expectations in the past, since even those who do pay attention and understand how monetary policy works are unlikely to believe the Fed will do what it says it will. Hence, even when such measures are called for, cutting the growth rate of money virtually guarantees a recession.
Volcker's disinflation was no exception. Real GDP growth fell from 6.51 percent in 1979 Q1 to −1.62 percent in 1980 Q3 and remained low through 1983 Q1. Unemployment shot up, from 5.7 percent in 1979 Q2 to 7.7 percent in 1980 Q3; by 1982 Q4, it had reached 10.7 percent. Home builders around the country pleaded for cheap credit by sending two-by-fours to the Marriner Eccles building in D.C.
But Volcker didn't relent. Inflation came down and stayed down. Indeed, the public came to believe the Fed chair was willing to do whatever it takes to keep inflation low and steady. For every ounce of institutional credibility Burns had lost, Volcker gained a pound.

How To Stop the Proliferation of Municipal Bond Issues
It seems rather strange that in a putative democracy a handful of people can legally, if figuratively, reach into the pockets of their neighbors but it happens all the time all across America via municipal bond ballot measures.
The main problem is that the measures "pass" if the majority of those who actually vote are in favor, even if hardly anyone votes. That leads to abuses. We should change the rules and mandate that bond/tax measures must obtain the affirmative approval of over 50 percent of eligible voters, not just those with sufficient incentive, education, and information to vote.
In most areas of our lives, no means no in the sense that no decision defaults to no action. You do not have to actively dislike the advertisement of a stationary bike company to avoid buying one of its products, you can vote "no" by not taking steps to purchase one. Heck, you may even approve of its ad but that does not give the manufacturer the right to drop ship one of its high-tech torture machines to your house and dock your checking account in exchange.
The same goes for physical intimacy. A stranger does not get to lawfully have sex with you because you did not actively swipe left on his or her Tinder profile. And Tinder does not get to establish a Tinder profile for you because you did not explicitly tell it not to. Wells Fargo found that out the hard way (though arguably not hard enough).
The need to obtain explicit consent before taking somebody else's money (or bodily fluids) is one of the key remaining features of liberty. Without it, life begins to look a lot like slavery or authoritarianism.
But the rules change when the compulsory monopoly we call government makes the rules. The original impetus behind municipal bond measures was the notion that voters need to explicitly accept the tax increases needed to service the bonds. No taxation without representation and all that. When most people voted, and where taxpayers and voters were roughly the same people, bond ballot measures approximated consent. (Why fifty percent is often considered the best threshold is another matter, but I will stipulate it here.)
Statewide bond measures pass about four out of five times. Local ones appear to pass at the same rate, even at the 55 percent threshold established in California. And issuers who fail to gain approval can try again year after year, unlike in corporate proxy resolutions where shareholders are banned from reintroducing resolutions that fail to garner sufficient votes. (The SEC, incidentally, wants to raise those thresholds.)
It is a minor miracle when voters in a town like Monument, Colorado repeatedly put the kibosh on bond measures because the issuer, often a school district, is a concentrated interest with the budget authority to hire consultants who appear to make scientific, objective cases for the "necessity" of the bond. Some of those consultants even conduct market research studies designed to help the issuer use words and arguments most likely to sway voters to click "yes" come election day. Opponents are typically individuals with jobs, families, and lives.
Unlike in the commercial sector, municipal bond issuers do not need to persuade people to their cause, they just need to create enough uncertainty, confusion, or complexity to induce most voters to abstain. While often rational in other contexts, inaction on bond measures often means tax increases because the denominator for passage, regardless of the threshold, is always the number of people who actually voted on the measure rather than the number of registered voters.
Issuers know that and use it to their advantage. A suburb of Sioux Falls, South Dakota recently passed a bond measure 1,085 to 129. That seems like a mandate except 14,700 people were eligible to vote on the measure, which went up for vote on 10 September, a time when most East River South Dakotans are busy settling their kids in school, hanging tree stands, and "gettin' the beans in" (soybeans of course). In other words, only about 1 in 15 people explicitly approved of the bond measure but the outcome is somehow counted "democratic." (I don't live in that town, incidentally, and the measure did not raise taxes but merely did not lower them as a previous bond recently matured.)
Other issuers put their measures up in November but only in odd-numbered years, when voter turnout is even lower than during even-numbered years. Often, public discussion of bond measures is muted because debate might draw out voters, which issuers want to avoid because when turnouts are low measures can be won simply by mobilizing teachers and naive statists.
In response to those obvious problems, some have called for minor reforms, like mandating that all municipal bond measures come up for vote on regular election days in even-numbered years. While that would be an improvement, it misses the main point, that no (action) should always mean no (money or booty). In other words, passage of anything authorizing use of the coercive power of the state to take citizens' money should require the assent of fifty percent plus of eligible voters, not those who turned out at the polls.
When I proposed this recently at a meeting of the South Dakota chapter of Americans For Prosperity, someone immediately objected "but then no bond measure would ever pass!" "Exactly," was my response. But of course truly important bond measures would pass, after mature consideration and extensive public debate clarified the issues at stake.
Consider again Monument, which sits on the Front Range betwixt Denver and Colorado Springs. Traditionally, taxes and public spending there were low so it attracted childless singles and older couples. Recently, younger couples with children began moving in because it was relatively cheap and improvements on I-25 promise to reduce commute times to both metropoles. Once ensconced, though, those couples began demanding more and better schools, even though that would mean higher taxes and, ceteris paribus, lower real estate values via what economists call tax capitalization.
I do not live in Monument either and would not presume to tell its residents what type of community they should try to create. But I do believe that a nation that purports to be a democracy should encourage citizens to debate the merits of proposals openly and to have to gain explicit approval for taxes, not a bare majority of a few percent of eligible voters in an inconvenient, secretive ballot. Robust debates could raise awareness of charter schools or maybe signal to parents with young children that they should live elsewhere. Or maybe they would lead to even more financial support for public schools. At the very least, full public discussion might expose the exorbitant fees that many municipalities now pay to consultants and issuers. The point is that to win approval, issuers would have to make a case and not just slide in under the radar.
Yes, voters could turn out to defeat bond measures, as they sometimes do, but the burden of proof should fall on the issuer, especially when public school districts seek funding because they have, with few exceptions, failed to create the type of citizens who vote. NGOs like iCivics are trying to improve civics education but the real problem, especially when it comes to bond and tax issues, is the failure of public schools to teach the basic principles of economics and public finance.
Without that background, most people do not feel comfortable voting on complex bond issues. So, as behavioral finance theory predicts, many abstain and the issuers win.

Ethiopia is a key security player in the Horn of Africa: while the country can act as an important catalyst for peace, it can also be a significant source of instability if conflict risks and climate resiliency are not managed proactively.
On 29 November in Rabat, adelphi partnered with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) to hold a regional dialogue on climate change and fragility risks in North Africa and the Sahel.
Based on the findings from the report "Geopolitics of Decarbonisation" this policy brief focuses on six fossil-fuel exporting countries – Azerbaijan, Canada, Colombia, Indonesia, Nigeria and Qatar – where fossil fuels have played an important role in external relations with the EU and analyses how they may be affected by the decarbonisation of Europe.
Climate action is best achieved through multilateral efforts involving an array of actors and stakeholders. The news coming out of climate talks can also be as wide and varied. To keep you posted on the latest happenings surrounding COP25 we'd like to share with you 10 of our favourite Twitter accounts.
At a briefing ahead of the COP25, foreign minister Heiko Maas called for higher ambition for the European Union, which should act as a role-model to encourage other states to boost their commitments to climate action. He further reiterated the importance of supporting multilateralism and an international climate regime that is able to withstand setbacks, such as the US withdrawal of the Paris Agreement.
The Brown to Green Report 2019 is the world's most comprehensive review of G20 climate action. It provides concise and comparable information on G20 country mitigation action, finance and adaptation.
Even as the US officially pulled out of the Paris Agreement earlier this week, it might be too soon to lose hope on the country's long-term commitments to climate action. If a Democrat wins the upcoming presidential elections, which are set for November 2020, a reaccession process could begin shortly after the withdrawal is complete. In the meantime, however, the effect on trade policy could be significant.
This is a joint event by the Centre for International Security at the Hertie School and the United Nations Association of Germany, focusing on the security implications of climate change and the role of the UN Security Council in this context.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands has contributed $28 million to back FAO's work to boost the resilience of food systems in Somalia, Sudan, and South Sudan - part of a new initiative to scale-up resilience-based development work in countries affected by protracted crises.
A group of five small countries have announced that they will launch negotiations on a new Agreement on Climate Change, Trade and Sustainability, which, if successful, would constitute the first international trade agreement focused solely on climate change and sustainable development. The initiative also breaks new ground by aiming to simultaneously remove barriers for trade in environmental goods and services and crafting binding rules to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies. Small countries can pioneer the development of new trade rules that can help achieve climate goals, but making credible commitments, attracting additional participants, and ensuring transparency will be essential ingredients for long-term success.
Ten years after committing to rationalise and phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, G20 countries still subsidise coal, oil and gas to the tune of around USD 150 billion annually. The process to try to move the G20 forward on this issue has been via peer review of fossil fuel subsidies, but these reviews need to be followed by action. Subsidy reforms could free up resources that could be channeled back into government programmes, which would be necessary to mitigate the impacts of rising energy prices on vulnerable populations and to help smooth reforms, and could also be spent on accelerating a clean energy transition.
Adapting to climate change and strengthening resilience are becoming priorities for the international community – however, they require greater ambition in climate policy. 107 governments and numerous international organisations have endorsed a call for action on raising ambition at the United Nations Climate Change Summit on 23rd September 2019. Following the summit, the Global Commission on Adaptation will begin its Year of Action to meet the climate challenges ahead. The Year of Action is here to accelerate climate adaptation around the world, to improve human well-being and to drive more sustainable economic development and security.

This week's prompt for Top 10 Tuesday is Bookish Worlds I'd Want to Live In. For me personally, there are SO MANY. I narrowed my favorite fictional worlds as best as I could.
- Middle-Earth (The Lord of the Rings): Specifically I'd love to live in Rivendell, Rohan, Minas Tirith, Lothlorien, Buckland, or the Grey Havens. I'm not picky. Not at all.
- Ingary (Howl's Moving Castle): The land of seven-league boots and invisibility cloaks! Plus, if I want to go in between normal Earth and Ingary, I can just hire a wizard to make me a portal.
- Dinotopia (Dinotopia series): I probably haven't talked about my secret weakness for Dinotopia before, but I just love dinosaurs so much and when I was a kid I wanted for Dinotopia to be real S O. B A D. I want dino pals and dino steeds!
- Earthsea (Earthsea series): Yes, Earthsea sounds terrifying, but on the other hand they have dragons and an insane magic system and a much better magic school than Hogwarts. Yeah, you heard me.
- Atlanta, Georgia (Kate Daniels series): In this series, the technological age is OVER and is being slowly eaten by a new magic age. I'm pretty okay with this and while I don't think I would survive longer than a week, it would be a GOOD MAGICAL WEEK.
- Temeraire's alternate history world (Temeraire series): My reasons for this are pretty similar to those for Dinotopia: I want dragon friends and dragon steeds and tiny dragons and giant dragons, just a part of nature, totally normal, nothing to see here except DRAGONS.
- Camp Halfblood (Percy Jackson and the Olympians series): I don't need demigod powers, I just want to visit and take notes for the science. And make genealogical trees for every single camper.
- Naboo (Star Wars): Star Wars is more of a movie franchise than a book franchise but this is reminding me that there are NOT ENOUGH BOOKS set on Naboo. I'm planning to move there as soon as I complete my lightspeed rocket.
- The Reaches (The Books of the Raksura series): This is another one of those places that I would probably get eaten by a giant predator in a matter of days. But if I could finagle my way into a Raksuran colony tree, everything would be fine and I'd have the best time ever making jewelry or something and convincing giant winged lizards to fly me around.
- Astreiant (Astreiant series): I'm reading the most recent installment, Point of Sighs, right now and this series is the best combination of perfect fantasy worldbuilding, fun characters, casual matriarchy, drama, and murder mystery. And yes I would definitely live there.

An adult is considered anyone 18 years of age or older and is expected to be able to take care of themselves mentally, physically, and financially. However, adults who have a mental illness, a decline in mental ability with age, have had a disability since childhood, or those who have a physical ailment, are not fully capable of taking care of themselves and might need legally appointed assistance.
Others who may also need legal guardianship are those who waste money on addictive behaviors (particularly drug addicts) that cause monetary and/or physical hardships for their family. So, when an individual falls under any of the above mentioned categories, it might be in their best interest to have a legal guardian.
A legal guardian is someone who has a permissible relationship with and control over a disabled adult's financial, property, and medical decisions, similar to the relationship of a parent to a child. The court assigns legal guardians to make major life decisions for disabled adults.
Those who are 18-years-old or older, live in the United States, and are of good mental capability can be potential candidates for legal guardianship. A guardian should not have a disability and it is preferred that the candidate have a clean arrest/prison record.
If a disabled adult does not wish to have a legal guardian, if a power of attorney was already assigned, or if the legal guardian candidate has a felony record, the court may take into consideration that criteria to decide if the guardianship is in the best interest of the disabled adult.
Contact an Illinois family lawyer for more information about legal guardianship of a disabled adult. The right attorney can help with any real estate, financial, or emergency issues regarding guardianship issues. Our DuPage County family law attorneys are highly skilled, and will listen to your concerns in order to help you find the best solution for your situation.
