Activist investor Carl Icahn has been garnering headlines since his hostile takeover of TWA in 1985, and at 77, he's still making news. This year alone, he has battled Michael Dell for control of computer maker Dell, butted heads with fellow activist Bill Ackman over multilevel marketer Herbalife, and pressed rig-operator Transocean to pay a bigger dividend to investors. Icahn's successful, sharp-elbowed investment style has helped make him one of the world's wealthiest men.
Icahn's $6 billion hedge fund, Icahn Capital, returned outside money to its investors in 2011, but you can still get in on the action through Icahn Enterprises, a publicly traded master limited partnership.
The $6 billion MLP has a concentrated portfolio of about 10 holdings. At $55, the units (as shares of an MLP are known) trade at a discount to the $64 sum-of-the-parts value, based on the company's analysis, which has been updated by Barron's based on the current share price of key publicly traded investments. The units yield a hefty 7%, reflecting a recently initiated $4-a-share annual payout.

The MLP purchased 80% of CVR in a tender offer last May at $30 and has seen the shares rise to $50, resulting in a $1.4 billion gain. The second-largest investment is a $2.6 billion stake in the Icahn hedge fund.
Icahn Enterprises has sought to broaden ownership with a recent $200 million equity offering and an increased dividend. It also recently began publishing an asset value estimate, which makes it easier to understand. Still, the stock probably is better suited to individuals than institutions thanks to limited liquidity. Icahn, who works for a bargain salary of $1 a year, owns 89% of the company.

"There are many companies that are undervalued and badly managed. There's great profit in controlling them or making changes," Icahn told Barron's. "Icahn Enterprises is uniquely positioned to do that because we have permanent capital. We're able to take advantage of opportunities in undervalued companies that others can't do."
ICAHN'S BRASH ATTITUDE and financial acumen have made him one the country's most powerful—and richest and busiest—investors. Bloomberg estimates Icahn's net worth at $18.6 billion, ranking him 38th on its list of the world's wealthiest.
Indeed, last month, he pledged $4 billion of his own money and that of Icahn Enterprises in a counterbid to Michael Dell's buyout offer for his namesake company. Icahn retains a tough-guy persona reflecting his Brooklyn roots and isn't afraid to attack opponents. He went after his Herbalife hlf 1.6672224074691564% Herbalife Ltd.

Icahn's hedge fund is up 200% on a gross basis since 2004, including a 12% gain this year through mid-March.
THERE'S SUCCESSION RISK with Icahn Enterprises because it's unclear who—if anyone—will follow him, and what will happen to the company when Icahn retires and, ultimately, when he dies. (The billionaire has no plans to retire.) It's possible that control may pass to his son Brett, 33, who is running as much as $3 billion for the Icahn hedge fund and has racked up a strong record.
Brett Icahn and his investment partner David Schechter are behind a recent Icahn coup, an investment in Netflix, which is the second-biggest winner in the S&P 500 this year with an 80% gain. Icahn Enterprises has a profit of more than $500 million on its investment, now worth more than $900 million.
The net-asset-value calculation employed by the MLP is based on the market values of its largest and most liquid investments, including CVR. However, Icahn Enterprises bases its valuation of Tropicana and Viskase, both thinly traded, on its own estimate of their value, which is higher than their market value. A value of $488 million, or eight times 2012 cash flow, is assigned to the stake in Tropicana. That's $200 million more than the market value of the MLP's interest in the casino operator, which owns properties in Atlantic City and certain regional markets.
If the MLP's calculations are right, shares of both Tropicana and Viskase, a packaging company, are undervalued. Tropicana is potentially worth more than $25 a share, compared with its recent price of $16.
The Bottom Line
At $55, Icahn Enterprises looks undervalued—and it could be worth $64 or more. With a 7% dividend yield, it gives investors a lucrative way to wait around for Icahn's next move.
Some investments may be carried at conservative levels. Icahn Enterprises, for instance, paid $150 million in 2010 for the unfinished Las Vegas casino, the Fontainebleau; the property now could be worth $300 million or more. CVR Energy also could be worth more if the company sold more shares in the MLP for its refining assets, CVR Refining.
At a time when many investors are placing money with high-fee hedge funds and getting mediocre returns, there's a nice alternative in Icahn Enterprises, which trades at a discount to its net asset value. The company has a great record and a proven money maker at the helm who works for just $1 a year.

I was doing some navel gazing and ended up with this poem about me…
Moshi's botty is quite grotty
I'm sorry to say
Let's put it this way
He's no friend of the litter tray.
What a dear little kitty you are!
I'd love to give you a kiss-y
Were it not for the fact
Your bum's a bit shitty.
You're a fluffy ball of cotton wool
For sure you're adorable
You've charmed your way into our hearts
Although, to be honest, you smell of farts.
Forgive me if this seems rude
The subject is rather crude
But I really don't know […]
A poem about a mood called The Kitten Feeling.
Heavy lidded eyes
Sad stickiness
The soreness of meowing
Nothing to do
Cocooned in a blanket
Being so comfortable aches
Electric pink sunset
Wet purring in your ear
Time has nowhere to go
From the clouds to your ears
Mewling music descends:
A choir of somnambulistic cats
Get out of feeling
The kitten feeling
Can't —
Stuck inside fur.
The pronunciation exercise 'Doyle The Owl' is to train two main English phonemes (sounds). The sounds are foil /ɔɪ/ and foul /aʊ/. Both of these sounds are diphthongs and therefore can be tricky to pronounce for many non native speakers of English.
Some musings on introversion, agoraphobia, asperger's and sensitivity.
It might be that I'm not really an introvert.
It's because the world and its attractions doesn't hold much appeal.
It might be that I'm not really a house hermit.
It's just my aversion to factory farming conditions.
I think that I don't have asperger's.
It's because I confused myself with constantly changing cultures and languages.
I suspect that I wasn't born rootless and to float from here to there,
I suspect that all […]
Christina Rossetti Poem – English Romanticism Poetry
A toadstool comes up in a night, –
Learn the lesson, little folk: –
An oak grows on a hundred years,
But then it is an oak.
Christina Rossetti was one of the English Romantic era poets who wrote in a devotional style or made observations about the natural world in her writings.
In my understanding this poem suggests to us the spiritual importance of deferred gratification: the oak tree becomes a tall […]
William Blake's poem 'Clod and the Pebble' from Songs of Innocence and Experience.
William Blake was a visionary poet whose poems could be interpreted in a number of ways according to symbolism and religious connotations. What this poem represents to me personally is the split that exists among humanity between those who seek to give and those who seek to take. Like many of Blake's poems, there is opposition and binding […]

Having fought and ruled and traded for a thousand years and more;
I knew the Roman legions and the […]

A look inside the mind of an INTJ (Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, Judgement)…
The INTJ personality looks at the world by analysing it and breaking it down into patterns. When an INTJ encounters a problem, he or she will apply intuition and reasoning to find a solution. Sometimes this results in breakthrough moments and radical solutions. However, the endless thinking and analysing can also get the INTJ absolutely nowhere.
The thinking self of an INTJ […]
A poem about ghosts (words below the video)…
When The Ghosts Come…
There are those among us
Who go a-hunting for them.
With torches in hand
And breaths held tight
At the stoke of midnight
in paranormal search they wend
Infra-red gizmos calibrated
To detect the unbodied
Those who were
Our once dear
And now, sadly departed kin
Stuck somewhere between
Here and there
Wandering and lost.
There are those among us
Who go a-talking with them
In sodden graveyards
By the light of the moon.
In secret ritual they invoke
With magical chants
Mind-altering potion
Or […]

In particular, they were not aware that they were going to be […]

Multi carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA), a strong contender for future mobile communication is a combination of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and code division multiple access (CDMA). Turbo coding technique can be used for improving the performance of MC-CDMA system in terms of bit error rate (BER). The objective of this work is to form a coding scheme that reduces BER of MC-CDMA system. In this book a turbo block code (TBC) designed using powerful low density parity check (LDPC) code and concatenated codes is used in MC-CDMA system for improving the BER performance and the same is proved through simulation. This code also has error correction capability along with high performance efficiency in terms of BER. . In addition a decoding algorithm with moderate decoding complexity and with feasible soft output generation is also proposed.

Presidential Debate 2012: Pauly Shore on Encino Man and Touré on Romney as a Musical Genre (VIDEO)
The Wiesel!!!
Jacob Katel
Now, we don't know what it was like behind the scenes at the other debates, but in South Florida, it was drunk and tropical. The press sipped on free Budweiser and ate off of pineapple plates (Lord knows how many pineapples died for our bellies yesterday!). And the students dropped it like it was hot (and it was) at a pre-debate pool party.

Frustrated by my circumstances.
Frustrated by things that are beyond my control.
Feels like I'm Sailing a ship on dry land,
Drinking sand to quench my thirst.
Flying a kite underwater,
Lighting a candle with no wick,
Reading with my eyes closed,
Screaming with my mouth shut.
Floating against the pull of gravity.
I gasp for air. Inhaling to push air out, exhaling brings it back in again.
Up is down, left is right, wrong is...still wrong.
Eternity is ephemeral.
Frustrated by my circumstances
Frustrated by things that are beyond my control.
Everything is contradictory to my belief, therefore if I'm frustrated then I must be on the brink of
Fulfillment. I welcome fulfillment
I take it firmly in my grasp
Grateful for what I've experienced and never missing what I've never had

Meet Ben, Driver Operations Manager
Some refer to Ben as the Invisible Hand
Sitting in an airport during one of his many trips to Minneapolis on a consulting gig, Ben read a Facebook post from Lucas who was promoting the magical opportunity to work at Uber.

Next to audio stories I make documentary films and experimental shorts. In 2009, my first long documentary film Calling E.T. screened in the Best of IDFA on tour, SXSW and in the TopTen at the Cologne international Film & Television Conference . The documentary is a philosophical thought-experiment; what if we would make contact with our galactic neighbours? Should (or can) we speak as one world?

Like for example the film Automat, this film is an exploration of our talking mechanical companions like ellevators and washing machines.

The man behind the massacre in Norway last year which left 77 people dead has told a court on Friday he was a "nice person" who had trained himself to stifle his emotions so he could carry out the shooting and bombing rampage.
Anders Behring Breivik, 33, admitted to killing eight people with a car bomb at the government's headquarters in Oslo, then gunning down 69 people, most of them teenagers, at a Labour Party summer camp on Utoeya island.
But he has pleaded not guilty, insisting he was defending the country against waves of Muslim immigration facilitated by the political left.
Breivik on Friday said he began consciously training to cut his range of feelings five years before the attacks, when he began to consider using violence to alert Europeans to what he considered the loss of their culture.
"One might say that I was quite normal until 2006 when I started training, when I commenced de-emotionalising," he told the court.
"And many people will describe me as a nice person or a sympathetic, caring person to friends and anyone."
"I've had a dehumanisation strategy towards those I considered valid targets so I could come to the point of killing them," he said, testifying on the fifth day of his trial.
Matter-of-fact manner
Breivik's matter-of-fact manner as he delivers his account of the worst peacetime killings in Norway's modern history has chilled his countrymen.
His legal team had said that Friday's testimony would be harrowing, focusing on the systematic slaughter.
The presiding judge told people attending the trial they were free to leave the courtroom at any time.
The massacre on Utoeya in particular required mental preparation, he said.
On Thursday he explained he had played computers games up to 16 hours per day and used daily meditation to "hammer away" at emotions and embrace his own death.
"It is easy to press a button and detonate a bomb," he said. "It is very, very difficult to carry out something as barbaric as a firearms operation."
He had hoped, he said, to kill all 564 people on the island, with special attention to former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland, a Labour Party leader known as "mother of the country," who was to be on the island that day.
"I had a bayonet on my rifle and I also had a knife," Breivik recalled.
"The plan was to chop her head off while filming it and reading a text then upload the film [onto the internet]," he said at Thursday's session.
He said he never got a chance to buy the advanced mobile telephone required for the film upload and in any case Brundtland left Utoeya several hours before he arrived.
Sanity goal
Under questioning about his feelings on Friday, Breivik said he recognised the suffering he had caused, but that he remained detached from it.
His pre-attack mental training regimen was similar to that which Norwegian soldiers undergo to serve in Afghanistan, he said.
"I would break down mentally if I removed the mental shields," he said.
Breivik's trial, set to last 10 weeks, turns on the question of his sanity and thus whether he can be jailed.
Before the trial, one court-appointed team of psychiatrists concluded Breivik was psychotic, while a second found him mentally capable.
He has said he should either be executed or acquitted, calling the prospect of a prison sentence "pathetic" and an insanity ruling "worse than death".
Defence lawyer Geir Lippestad told the Reuters news agency that Breivik's only goal at the trial is to prove himself sane - and that he feels he is succeeding.
"He thinks he has explained his views satisfactorily, the way he wishes, and he thinks that people understand what he is saying, at least the group he talks to," Lippestad said.

Is There a Creator God?
Case for a Creator
"Anything that has a start, has a starter"
"So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator?" Stephen Hawking (non-Christian) - "A Brief History of Time" p. 140
Big Bang: "Anything that has a start, has a starter" 1.Expansion of the universe 2.Cosmic microwave background 3.Relative abundances of hydrogen, helium, deuterium, and lithium 4.… Edwin P. Hubble (1889-1953) was trained as a lawyer, before boredom made him turn to astronomy.
Big Bang: "Anything that has a start, has a starter"
"Anything that has a design, has a designer"
William Paley (b.1802) made the Divine watchmaker argument: "Natural Theology", 1835
"Anything that has a design, has a designer"
"[DNA] have shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce life, that intelligence must have been involved." Dr. Anthony Flew – 2005 (Former Atheist, turned Deist but non-Christian still)
More "proofs" Cosmological argument (causation) Teleological argument (design) Ontological argument Moral argument Historical argument Practical argument
Is There a Creator God? Faith and Science
Discover Reveal "The finite mind cannot comprehend infinity"
Limitation of Science "The finite mind cannot comprehend infinity"
Limitation of Science "The subject we are studying will determine the method of how we will know it!"
Had evolution already disprove God? "Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links (between species)? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain, and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory" Darwin, "On the origin of species", p.280
How Why
"In the beginning God created heavens and earth…"
The main point: WHO? (not How?)
Similar "Who?" Different Views of the "How?"
Genesis 1:1-5 A beginning when God created The earth initially formless & empty; solar system formed from amorphous gas cloud. Darkness; as the cloud collapses, it becomes denser, darker. Cloud begins to glow as it ionizes. Equatorial band pushed outside glow. Rotating planets have day/night sequence.
Genesis 1:6-8 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning – a second day.
Genesis 1:6-8 An expanse is formed to separate the waters — the atmosphere. This expanse forms our blue sky; The order fits the scientific view re/ outgassing.
Genesis 1:9-10 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. God called the dry ground "land" and the gathered water "seas." And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:9-10 We now know that earth's surface is great, thin plates of crust, moving slowly on the mantle beneath. There are two types of crust: Light, thick continent Heavy, thin ocean basin It looks like the oceans drained off into the basins when the crust split into two kinds.
Genesis 1:11-13 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation… And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning – a third day.
Genesis 1:11-13 Naturally, there is no land vegetation without land to have it on. The order is interesting here: Plants are narrated before animals, which depend on them. Plants are narrated before sun, moon & stars, seen as contradicting science. But something more subtle is going on here.
Genesis 1:14-19 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years. And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light upon the earth." And it was so. God made two great lights – the greater light to dominate the day and the lesser light to dominate the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to dominate the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning – a fourth day.
Genesis 1:14-19 Though often overlooked, this fits science very well. Viewed from earth, this describes the clearing of the atmosphere so that sun, moon & stars become visible. This clearing is the direct result of vegetation, which removes carbon dioxide and replaces it with oxygen.
Genesis 1:20-27
Main Implications: 1.What do we know about God? "In the beginning God created heavens and earth" 2.What do we know about ourselves? "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
Is There a Creator God? Why Don't People Believe?
What sorts of evidence prompt Christians to believe in God? The size, majesty, intricacy of the world. Historical / natural evidence. Narrative / philosophical coherence and credibility. The experience and testimony of fellow believers --- especially family and friends. Personal experience of a Personal God, encountered through prayer, worship, scripture, and living a life of faith.
3.Why Don't People Believe? "But is the Creator personable?" "If God exist, then ____?" "It's not really that important" "I don't want to give up control!"
What will Help People Believe? "You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts." 2 Cor.3:3 Relationships Beliefs Values Behaviors

I'm leaning towards U.S. dollar strength plays and the ECB has likely opened the door that this Fed may want to continue through…and that's towards one, maybe two rate hikes by year's end.
1) How do you decide if you want to be long or short U.S. dollar?
2) How do you do either in the most optimal way?
Takeaways from the video:
– U.S. dollar buys are not lay ups…they won't be easy and likely won't be the longer-term driver of the pair
– Fed Fund futures for June are the contract to watch
– The inflation story looks better than it likely is…for now
– GBP/USD is my favorite U.S. dollar buy
– On the flip side: (if the USD weakens) the AUD/USD and USD/CAD are my preferred U.S. dollar sells

Is Gluten-free Diet Collin McHugh's Secret Weapon?

Celiac.com 07/24/2015 - Before Joining the Houston Astros in December 2013, pitcher Collin McHugh chalked a career record of zero wins and eight losses, with an 8.94 ERA. He basically bounced around the league until he caught the eyes of the Astros.
Since joining the Astros, McHugh has gone 16 wins, 11 losses, with a 3.17 era, and is currently 5-2 for 2015.
This turnaround coincides with a decision by McHugh to follow a gluten-free diet, after suffering from stomach and digestive complaints that go back to childhood.
McHugh's decision to gluten-free came just as the Astros picked him up, and he's been firm in his commitment to both the team and his diet.
After sticking to the gluten-free diet, McHugh says he lost a substantial amount of weight and picked up some additional energy: "The times you feel bad or you're drained weren't as frequent. Energy-wise, there was a big difference."
Whether McHugh's newfound performance success is due to cutting gluten from his diet, is unclear.
Recent science LINK says that McHugh may benefit if he suffers from celiac disease. Otherwise, not so much.
In either case, I'm sure McHugh and the Astros will take whatever benefits they get on the field.

I would sure like to know if the stomach and digestive issues cleared up. I medically have to be gluten free, being gluten intolerant. Being woken at 3am with severe cramping pain keeps me strict; not to mention a clearer brain and many other chronic conditions that have disappeared. But I didn't lose weight, I gained. So I'm a bit suspicious about this baseball player. Unless his digestive problems also cleared, he story adds to the FAD! And FADs fade when people start rolling the eyes as they tire of them!

Apple Should Help Video Blogging Stand Out
Jeff Jarvis wrote, oh entire days ago, that he was pleased to see that iTunes does include video blogs and that two of his favorites, Rocketboom and Diggnation, were among them. I am glad as well, but think that Apple should do more to help video blogs help Apple.
There isn't much purchasable video on iTunes right now. So, Apple should help make it easier for people to find alternative types of video, such as video blogs. But by putting video blogs under the podcasting section of iTunes, I don't think they're doing anyone much good.
Face it, people are still just learning what podcasting is, and for most of the world podcasting means audio. So few are going to make the connection that pocasting and video blogging are related because they both use the RSS standard for distribtion.
That's why I think that Apple should create a video blogging button or at the very least indie video button within its music store and place it right under the Movie Trailer and TV Show buttons that are there now. And fine, they can call them whatever they want, video podcasts, vlogs, vidcasts, whatever. Go crazy, Apple.

By Eric Fink
One of the highlights of DSA's national convention in November,
1991, was a public meeting sponsored jointly by DSA's national
Gay - Lesbian - Bisexual Commission and Chicago DSA's own local
Gay - Lesbian - Bisexual Commission. The featured speaker at this
outreach event was Svend Robinson, the only openly gay member
of the Canadian Parliament and a leading spokesperson for the
New Democratic Party (NDP) of Canada, which is Canada's third
largest political party and its only social democratic party.
During his talk, Robinson outlined some of the major themes in
current les/bi/gay politics in Canada and discussed some recent
advances made by gay and lesbian people under the recently elected
local NDP governments.
As the NDP'S spokesperson for international human rights, Robinson
also stressed the need for the gay, bisexual, and lesbian movements
in more developed nations to support and assist the emerging les/bi/gay
communities in developing nations and the former Soviet bloc.
The NDP was originally founded during the Depression and was
reconstituted in its present form in 1961; like DSA, the NDP is
a member of the Socialist International. In addition to holding
44 out of the 295 seats in the federal parliament, the NDP also
controls provincial governments in Ontario (the largest Canadian
province), Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.
Together, these areas comprise 51% of the total Canadian population.
Women hold a significant number of cabinet positions in these
regional governments and control many of the most powerful portfolios.
The NDP's national leader, Audrey McLaughlin, is the first woman
to head a major political party in North America. Both in opposition
and in government, the NDP has taken a strong feminist stand on
issues of particular concern to women, including abortion rights,
sexual harassment and job discrimination.
Canada's national health system, which many are now holding
up as a model for emulation in the United States, was pioneered
by an NDP government in Saskatchewan, where the party first took
power in 1944. National health care has proved especially crucial
in the fight against AIDS. Under Canada's system of national health
care, everyone receives medical coverage regardless of their ability
to pay. In the U.S., of course, many patients cannot afford the
cost of long term care, and many private insurance companies refuse
to cover experimental treatments or even to offer policies to
those who are HIV positive. Canadians, in contrast, are assured
of necessary care and treatment at no cost. AZT and other AIDS
drugs are available free and on demand.
Robinson also mentioned other important advances in Canadian
AIDS policy, such as the increasingly wide spread availability
of anonymous HIV testing and distribution of condoms in Canada's
federal prisons. Increases in the number of publicly funded anonymous
testing centers have often been a major accomplishment of NDP
governments at the provincial and local level.
Support for maintaining the comprehensive coverage of the national
health care system remains strong, Robinson said, noting that
there has been no vocal sentiment in favor of limiting treatment
for people with AIDS. In Robinson's view, the extraordinary degree
of compassion shown in the face of the AIDS epidemic stands as
a model for public health care in general. He pointed out that
lesbians have played a major role in this regard and conceded
that gay men often have not done enough on behalf of the health
care and other concerns of women.
NDP support for basic rights and freedoms for lesbians, bisexual
people, and gay men dates back several years, at least in part
because Robinson served as the NDP's spokesperson on justice and
human rights in Canada for much of the 1980s. In 1981, Robinson
was one of two NDP members of the federal commission that drafted
the new Canadian constitution. The draft constitution included
a Charter of rights similar to the Bill of rights in the U.S.
Constitution but broader in scope in many respects. One portion
of the Charter, the "Equality Rights" section, declares
the fundamental equality of all Canadians and protects Canadian
citizens from discrimination based on irrelevant characteristics.
During the drafting process, Robinson proposed an amendment to
this section including an explicit statement on the rights of
lesbians and gay men; the commission rejected this amendment by
a vote of 23 - 2 with only Robinson and his NDP colleague supporting
the measure.
Subsequently, however, Canadian courts have interpreted the
Constitution to include a prohibition against discrimination on
the basis of sexual orientation. The federal government has begun
to abide by this interpretation although not without some prodding
from the NDP and others. For example, in 1985 Robinson participated
in a seven member commission on human rights in Canada which issued
a strong, unanimous report urging an end to discrimination on
the basis of sexual orientation within the Canadian armed forces,
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and other federal institutions.
The following year, the government agreed to take the necessary
measures to implement the recommendations, and it has since begun
to do so although slowly and in a piecemeal fashion.
After the commission released its report, a lawsuit was brought
against the RCMP challenging its policy of excluding lesbians
and gay men. The case was settled before trial when the Mounties
agreed to reverse the policy.
The Canadian military, however, still continues to expel openly
lesbian, gay or bisexual people. Robinson told of one woman who
had been in the Canadian armed forces whose experience seemed
to parallel the recent Joseph Steffan case in the United States.
Despite the high praise and respect she had earned for her performance-
one commander had described her as a "dream officer"-
this woman was summarily ousted from the military when she was
discovered to be a lesbian. She has challenged her expulsion in
court. At no cost to herself, Robinson pointed out, because of
a Canadian law guaranteeing free legal representation in suits
against governmental agencies and institutions.
Robinson mentioned that the military had been prepared to announce
an end to anti-gay and lesbian discrimination and implement a
new non-discriminatory policy in late 1991. The plan, which has
been accepted by government ministers, was stalled after some
members of the ruling Conservative Party caucus objected. While
this maneuvering was taking place, the government chose not to
announce the proposed change. However, military officials in the
U.S. were notified of the proposal, and a Pentagon leak led to
the story being reported in the Canadian press. According to Robinson,
the details of a new proposal are now being worked out and the
policy should be in place sometime in 1992.
Frustrated by the often slow pace with which the federal government
has acted to curb anti-gay discrimination, NDP provincial governments
have tried to take matters into their own hands when possible.
For example, NDP governments have extended spousal benefits to
same sex domestic partners of government employees and civil servants.
The NDP government in Ontario has gone one step further, challenging
those benefit policies of the federal government that discriminate
against government employees with same sex domestic partners.
Sitting NDP governments have also helped boost the visibility
of les/bi/gay people and concerns by appointing openly gay and
lesbian people to a variety of public boards and commissions and
by promoting education on lesbian, bisexual and gay issues in
public schools.
The federal NDP has simultaneously acted on a national level
to improve the quality of life for same sex couples. Robinson
has proposed federal legislation which would insure equal treatment
for same sex couples under Canadian income tax and pension laws,
as well as a bill which would explicitly include gay, bisexual
and lesbian people as a protected class under the Canadian Human
Rights Act. (In mid-January, however, the federal government took
a big step forward by affirming that a gay man from Argentina
deserved political refugee status in Canada because of the recent
anti-gay violence perpetrated by Argentine police.)
Such victories and gains notwithstanding, Robinson pointed
out that there remain many challenges confronting the lesbian
and gay communities of Canada. Violence against bisexual, gay
and lesbian people remains an ugly reality in Canada as it does
here in the United States. Alcohol and drug abuse and suicide
among lesbian and gay youth are likewise serious problems in Canada
(as in the U.S., although here the Department of Health and Human
Services has chosen to ignore the problem) with rates of suicide
matched only among Canada's aboriginal peoples.
Surveying the international scene, Robinson drew a similarly
mixed picture, finding hopeful signs interspersed with stark realities.
During the summer of 1991, Robinson participated in a Moscow conference
of the Soviet lesbian and gay community; he called it "possibly
the most moving event I have ever participated in". At the
time of his talk, Robinson noted that sexual contact between men
was still prohibited by Article 121 of the old Soviet constitution,
and that although no specific prohibition against lesbian sex
existed, at least one woman was charged under the anti-gay law
over the summer.
Robinson gave the closing keynote at the Moscow conference.
He found that "the sense that there were people outside who
cared" made a significant difference to the lesbians and
gay men in the Soviet Union. During the attempted coup, which
took place just three weeks after the conference, lesbians and
gay men were at the front lines of opposition, knowing that their
growing freedom would have been among the immediate casualties
of a hardline reaction.
The situation in other countries, as Robinson painted it, appears
even bleaker. In Iran, for example, gays and lesbians are routinely
executed; while in China they are forced to undergo "psychiatric"
treatment. A dramatic indication of the persistent barriers to
lesbian and gay equality was given by the fate of the International
Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) conference scheduled to be
held last summer in Guadalajara, Mexico. ILGA had difficulty obtaining
space for the convention and was warned by the city's mayor that
he could not protect the conference goers against violence from
city residents. In the end, ILGA was forced to move the conference
to Acapulco but not before several delegations withdrew from the
On a more positive note, Robinson pointed out that the African
National Congress, in its draft of a new South African constitution,
has included a call for an end to discrimination on the basis
of sexual orientation. "National liberation" movements
increasingly seem to be integrating lesbian and gay equality into
their visions of new, more democratic societies; it was recently
reported that leftist rebels in El Salvador indicated they would
include protections for gay, lesbian and bisexual people in any
new constitution they drafted.
As an openly gay national elected official, Robinson remarked
he is a member of "a fairly exclusive club" that includes
U.S. Representatives Barney Frank and Gerry Studds of Massachusetts,
British Labour MP Chris Smith, and most recently Kent Carlsson,
a Swedish MP from the Social Democratic Party. Robinson said that
his greatest regret is that no other Canadian federal MPs have
followed his lead in coming out, although there are many gay and
lesbian members in all three of Canada's major political parties.
Indeed, some of his closeted colleagues have told Robinson that
they are wary of being too closely identified with him. There
have, however, been several openly gay men elected to provincial
and local offices although no open lesbians have been elected
so far.
Although it was "no secret" that he was gay to those
who knew him well, Robinson was not out when he was first elected.
He felt that it was necessary for him to establish a reputation
first as his constituents would be more likely to accept him as
a gay man if they knew him first as a good legislator. Three years
ago, after serving nearly eight years as an MP, Robinson came
out publicly on national television. The support he has received
has been "astounding", he says, commenting that seniors
have been among his most loyal partisans.
Robinson concluded by emphasizing the need for the gay, bisexual
and lesbian movement to continue to widen its scope by building
bridges across racial, generational and gender lines and across
national borders. He reminded the audience that "we stand
on the shoulders of giants who made our liberation possible."

The ILGWU strike against Rainfair, reported in the last
issue of New Ground, was settled on December 20. All
the striking workers returned to work with a 20 cent per hour
raise and a limited health insurance co-payment. The settlement
is being credited to labor solidarity.
While the strike took nearly six months, the settlement reached
would probably have been acceptable to the employees had it been
offered to them within the first few weeks of the strike. It was
only the bloody-minded anti-union attitude of the Rainfair company
that kept the conflict going. It was this hostility set against
an underpaid, mostly female work force represented by a small
union that made the strike a perfect metaphor for the state of
labor today. Sensing a public relations bonanza, the AFL-CIO started
to mobilize its resources in support of the strikers.
One has to wonder at the stupidity of the Rainfair company.
Most of its product is used by police, firemen, letter carriers
and the building trades. Faced with the prospect of a labor boycott,
Rainfair's distributors made it very plain to the company that
its goods were not worth the hassle: if a boycott developed, the
wholesalers were not going to continue distributing Rainfair products.
Faced with this prospect, Rainfair's effort at union-busting collapsed,
even to the point of returning production shifted elsewhere to
the Kenosha plant and bringing back all the strikers. The only
face the company saved was the retention of at least some of the
"permanent" replacements.
The scabs do not seem to have a long life expectancy. This
is not because the ILGWU is particularly interesting in running
them out of the plant but rather the circumstances of work at
the plant. Some of the scabs were only interested in earning Christmas
money and not much interested in continuing to work past the holiday.
Others had become accustomed to the lenient working conditions
during the strike and were not at all prepared for the strict
workplace discipline that is normal to the plant. And finally,
while the "market place" does not highly value the work
of the employees, it is not an unskilled occupation. These "new"
employees just do not have the skill necessary to keep up with
the older employees.
The strike has also had beneficial consequences outside the
ILGWU. At least one Wisconsin employer, U.S. Can, has begun contract
negotiations early specifically to avoid a strike. What was intended
as the opening move in a campaign to break organized labor has
ended in something of a retreat.
At the same time, solidarity often seems to be given more lip
service than concrete application. It is true that at least part
of the Rainfair victory is due to Capital's ill-considered choice
of a battleground: a company whose product is used mostly by unionized
employees at the workplace and whose plant is located in a solidly
union town. But rightly or wrongly, many other unions have been
considerably less aggressive in soliciting outside help. It's
worth asking to what extent this is a considered judgement based
on the "objective" political situation and to what extent
it is that solidarity is a lesson that must be continually relearned.

- You received an item that appears to have been damaged during shipping: If a package appears to have been damaged during shipping, the item is oftentimes still okay. If the packaging for your item appears to be damaged, be sure to keep all the original packaging until you've determined whether or not a shipping insurance claim needs to be submitted. If any of the original packaging is thrown away, we cannot file a shipping insurance claim. Discarding shipping materials or box contents waives your right to get your product replaced or repaired. Before contacting us, please test the item's functionality. If everything works okay, there is no reason to contact us or file a shipping damage claim. If your product is not working correctly due to the damages that occurred during shipping and you have kept the original shipping materials, please contact us so that we may submit a shipping insurance claim. Once we have confirmed that you still have the original shipping materials and that the item was damaged during shipping, and after we have officially filed the shipping insurance claim forms, we will send out new parts or a new product at no cost to you.
- You've received the product but you've decided you want to return it: If you receive an item and decide to return it, you can do so if and only if all of the following requirements are met:
- The item must be unused and still in the original packaging.
- You must contact us to notify us that you'd like to return the item within 30 calendar days of receiving the item.
- You MUST contact us to get an return instructions PRIOR to returning the item.
- You can receive the full amount you originally paid for the returned item as a store credit, OR
- If your return falls OVER the 30 day return period, we may charge a 15% restocking fee and subtract it out of the refund issued to you.
- If you are OVER the 30 day period but would like an exchange due to sizing issue or defect, no restocking fee will be accessed. Email us for exchange instructions.
- You refuse the delivery of your order, and it comes back to us: If you refuse an item and it comes back to us, you will be issued a refund LESS a 15% restocking fee and our actual cost for shipping and handling. If the item is damaged during the shipping process, no refund will be issued until the shipping insurance claim process is complete. Once the shipping claim process is complete, you will be issued a refund in the amount we are reimbursed by the shipping company (minus the amount the shipping company charges us for the shipment to you and back to us). If the shipping company does not approve the claim, we are unable to provide a refund.
