Chapter Six
The Issue That We All Have to Face
1, 2. (a) What issue did Satan raise in Eden? (b) How is that issue implied by what he said?
YOU are involved in the most important issue ever to face mankind. Where you stand on it will determine your everlasting future. This issue was raised when rebellion broke out in Eden. Back then Satan asked Eve: "Is it really so that God said you must not eat from every tree of the garden?" She replied that concerning one tree God had said: "You must not eat from it . . . that you do not die." Then Satan directly charged Jehovah with lying, saying that neither Eve's life nor Adam's life was dependent on obedience to God. Satan claimed that God was withholding from his creatures something good—the ability to set their own standards in life. Satan asserted: "God knows that in the very day of your eating from it your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like God, knowing good and bad."—Genesis 3:1-5.
2 In effect, Satan was saying that humans would be better off making their own decisions rather than obeying God's laws. He thus challenged God's way of ruling. This raised the all-important issue of God's universal sovereignty, that is, his right to rule. The question was raised: Which is better for humans, Jehovah's way of ruling or rulership independent of him? Now, Jehovah could have immediately executed Adam and Eve, but that would hardly have settled the issue of sovereignty satisfactorily. By letting human society develop for a considerable time, God could demonstrate just what independence from him and his laws would produce.
3. What secondary issue did Satan raise?
3 Satan's attack on Jehovah's right to rule did not stop with what took place in Eden. He called into question loyalty to Jehovah on the part of others. This became a closely related secondary issue. His challenge reached out to include both the offspring of Adam and Eve and all the spirit sons of God, even Jehovah's dearly loved firstborn Son. In the days of Job, for instance, Satan contended that those who serve Jehovah do so, not out of love for God and his way of ruling, but for selfish reasons. He argued that when subjected to hardship, they would all give in to selfish desires.—Job 2:1-6; Revelation 12:10.
What History Has Proved
4, 5. What has history proved about man directing his own steps?
4 A vital point in the issue of sovereignty is this: God did not create humans to live independently of his rulership and be successful. For their benefit he made them dependent on his righteous laws. The prophet Jeremiah acknowledged: "I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step. Correct me, O Jehovah." (Jeremiah 10:23, 24) So God's Word urges: "Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5) Just as God made humankind subject to his physical laws to stay alive, he also made moral laws, which if obeyed would make for a harmonious society.
5 Clearly, God knew that the human family could never be successful in regulating itself without his rulership. In a vain attempt to be independent of God's rule, humans have set up different political, economic, and religious systems. These differences have brought people into constant conflict with one another, resulting in violence, war, and death. "Man has dominated man to his injury." (Ecclesiastes 8:9) That is just what has happened throughout human history. As foretold in God's Word, wicked men and impostors have continued to "advance from bad to worse." (2 Timothy 3:13) And the 20th century, which saw mankind reach great heights in scientific and industrial achievement, saw the worst calamities ever. The words of Jeremiah 10:23 have been abundantly proved—humans were not created to direct their own steps.
6. How will God soon resolve human independence from him?
6 The tragic, long-term consequences of independence from God have once and for all demonstrated that rulership by humans can never succeed. God's rulership is the only way to happiness, unity, health, and life. And God's Word shows that Jehovah's toleration of independent human rule is nearing its end. (Matthew 24:3-14; 2 Timothy 3:1-5) Shortly, he will intervene in human affairs to assert his rulership over the earth. Bible prophecy states: "In the days of those kings [human rulerships now existing] the God of heaven will set up a kingdom [in heaven] that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people [never again will humans rule the earth]. It will crush and put an end to all these [present-day] kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite."—Daniel 2:44.
Surviving Into God's New World
7. When God's rule ends man's rule, who will survive?
7 When God's rule ends man's rule, who will survive? The Bible answers: "The upright [those who uphold God's right to rule] are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked [those who do not uphold God's right to rule], they will be cut off from the very earth." (Proverbs 2:21, 22) Similarly, the psalmist stated: "Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more . . . The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."—Psalm 37:10, 29.
8. How will God fully vindicate his sovereignty?
8 After Satan's system is destroyed, God will usher in his new world, which will completely eliminate the devastating violence, wars, poverty, suffering, sickness, and death that have held mankind in their grip for thousands of years. The Bible beautifully describes the blessings awaiting obedient mankind: "He [God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:3, 4) By means of his heavenly Kingdom government under Christ, God will fully vindicate (justify, or prove) His right to be our Sovereign, that is, our Ruler.—Romans 16:20; 2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 20:1-6.
How They Responded to the Issue
9. (a) How have those who have remained loyal to Jehovah viewed his word? (b) How did Noah prove his loyalty, and how can we benefit from his example?
9 Down through history, there have been men and women of faith who have proved their loyalty to Jehovah as Sovereign. They knew that their lives depended on listening to and obeying him. Noah was such a man. So God said to Noah: "The end of all flesh has come before me . . . Make for yourself an ark." And Noah submitted to Jehovah's direction. Despite being given warning, other people of that day went about their lives as if nothing unusual was going to happen. But Noah built a gigantic ark and kept busy preaching to others about Jehovah's righteous ways. The record goes on to say: "Noah proceeded to do according to all that God had commanded him. He did just so."—Genesis 6:13-22; Hebrews 11:7; 2 Peter 2:5.
10. (a) How did Abraham and Sarah uphold Jehovah's sovereignty? (b) In what way can we benefit from the examples of Abraham and Sarah?
10 Abraham and Sarah were also fine examples of upholding Jehovah's sovereignty, doing whatever he commanded them. They lived in Ur of the Chaldeans, a prosperous city. But when Jehovah told Abraham to go to another land, one that he was not familiar with, Abraham "went just as Jehovah had spoken to him." Sarah no doubt had had a comfortable way of life—with home, friends, and relatives. Yet, she was submissive to Jehovah and to her husband and went to the land of Canaan, although she did not know what conditions awaited her there.—Genesis 11:31–12:4; Acts 7:2-4.
11. (a) Under what circumstances did Moses uphold Jehovah's sovereignty? (b) How might Moses' example benefit us?
11 Moses was another person who upheld Jehovah's sovereignty. And he did this under the most difficult circumstances—in face-to-face confrontations with Pharaoh of Egypt. Not that Moses was self-confident. On the contrary, he doubted his ability to speak well enough. But he obeyed Jehovah. With Jehovah's backing and the aid of his brother, Aaron, Moses repeatedly delivered Jehovah's word to obstinate Pharaoh. Even some of the sons of Israel were harshly critical of Moses. Yet, Moses loyally did everything that Jehovah commanded him, and by means of him, Israel was delivered from Egypt.—Exodus 7:6; 12:50, 51; Hebrews 11:24-27.
12. (a) What shows that loyalty to Jehovah involves more than doing what God has specified in writing? (b) How might appreciation of this kind of loyalty help us to apply 1 John 2:15?
12 Those who were loyal to Jehovah did not reason that all that was required was to obey what God had put in writing. When Potiphar's wife tried to entice Joseph to have adulterous relations with her, there was no written commandment from God that prohibited adultery. However, Joseph knew about the marriage arrangement instituted by Jehovah in Eden. He was aware that having sexual relations with another man's wife would be displeasing to God. Joseph was not interested in testing the limits to which God would let him be like the Egyptians. He upheld Jehovah's ways by meditating on God's dealings with mankind and then conscientiously applying what he discerned to be God's will.—Genesis 39:7-12; Psalm 77:11, 12.
13. How was the Devil proved a liar regarding (a) Job? (b) the three Hebrews?
13 Even if severely put to the test, those who truly know Jehovah do not turn away from him. Satan charged that if Job lost his many possessions or his health, even he—of whom Jehovah spoke highly—would desert God. But Job proved the Devil a liar, even though Job himself did not know why calamities were engulfing him. (Job 2:9, 10) Centuries later, still trying to prove his point, Satan caused an infuriated king of Babylon to threaten three young Hebrews with death in a fiery furnace if they did not bow in worship before an image set up by the king. Forced to choose between obedience to the command of the king and obedience to Jehovah's law against idolatry, they firmly made it known that they served Jehovah and that he was their Supreme Sovereign. Faithfulness to God was more precious to them than their present life!—Daniel 3:14-18.
14. How is it possible for us as imperfect humans to prove that we are truly loyal to Jehovah?
14 Are we to conclude from such examples that to be loyal to Jehovah, a person has to be perfect or that one who makes a mistake has completely failed? By no means! The Bible tells us that at times Moses fell short. Although Jehovah was displeased, he did not reject Moses. The apostles of Jesus Christ also had their weaknesses. Taking into account our inheritance of imperfection, Jehovah is pleased if we do not deliberately ignore his will in any respect. If because of weakness we do become involved in wrongdoing, it is important that we sincerely repent and not make a practice of the error. In this way we demonstrate that we truly do love what Jehovah says is good and hate what he shows to be bad. On the basis of our faith in the sin-atoning value of Jesus' sacrifice, we can enjoy a clean standing before God.—Amos 5:15; Acts 3:19; Hebrews 9:14.
15. (a) Who among all humans maintained perfect integrity to God, and what did this prove? (b) How are we helped by what Jesus did?
15 Nevertheless, could it be that perfect obedience to Jehovah's sovereignty is simply not possible for humans? The answer to this was like a "sacred secret" for some 4,000 years. (1 Timothy 3:16) Adam, though created perfect, did not set a perfect example of godly devotion. So who could? Certainly none of his sinful offspring. The only man to do so was Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 4:15) What Jesus accomplished proved that Adam, who had more favorable circumstances, could have maintained perfect integrity if he had wanted to. The fault was not in God's creative work. Jesus Christ is therefore the example that we seek to imitate in demonstrating not only obedience to divine law but also personal devotion to Jehovah, the Universal Sovereign.—Deuteronomy 32:4, 5.
What Is Our Personal Answer?
16. Why must we be constantly on the alert as to our attitude toward Jehovah's sovereignty?
16 Each of us today has to face the issue of universal sovereignty. If we have openly stated that we are on Jehovah's side, Satan makes us a target. He brings pressure from every direction and will continue to do so down to the end of his wicked system of things. We must not let our guard down. (1 Peter 5:8) Our conduct shows where we stand on the supreme issue of Jehovah's sovereignty and the secondary issue of integrity to God under test. We cannot afford to view disloyal conduct as unimportant simply because it is common in the world. Maintaining integrity requires that we endeavor to apply Jehovah's righteous ways in every matter of life.
17. What is there about the origin of lying and stealing that should make us shun them?
17 For example, we cannot imitate Satan, who is "the father of the lie." (John 8:44) We must be truthful in all our dealings. In Satan's system, young people often are not truthful with their parents. But Christian youths avoid this, and thus they prove untrue Satan's charge that God's people would abandon their integrity under test. (Job 1:9-11; Proverbs 6:16-19) Then there are business practices that might identify a person with "the father of the lie" instead of with the God of truth. These, we shun. (Micah 6:11, 12) Too, stealing is never justified, even if a person is in need or if the one from whom items are taken is wealthy. (Proverbs 6:30, 31; 1 Peter 4:15) Even if it is a common practice where we live or if what is taken is small, stealing is still contrary to God's laws.—Luke 16:10; Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:28.
18. (a) At the end of Christ's Thousand Year Reign, what test will come on all humankind? (b) What habit should we cultivate now?
18 During the Thousand Year Reign of Christ, Satan and his demons will be in the abyss, unable to influence mankind. What a relief that will be! But following the thousand years, they will be loosed for a little time. Satan and those who follow him will put pressure on those of restored mankind who are maintaining their integrity to God. (Revelation 20:7-10) If it is our privilege to be alive then, how will we react regarding the issue of universal sovereignty? Since all mankind will then be perfect, any act of disloyalty will be deliberate and will result in eternal destruction. How vital it is that we cultivate the habit now of responding positively to whatever direction Jehovah gives us, whether through his Word or through his organization! Doing so, we show our genuine devotion to him as the Universal Sovereign.
Review Discussion
• What is the great issue that we all have to face? How did we get involved?
• What is outstanding about the ways in which men and women of ancient times proved their integrity to Jehovah?
• Why is it vital that we honor Jehovah by our conduct each day?

OECD Skills Outlook 2019
Thriving in a Digital World
Economies and societies are undergoing digital transformations that bring both opportunities and challenges and countries' preparedness to seize the benefits of a digital world is largely dependent on the skills of their population. This edition of the OECD Skills Outlook aims to understand how policies, and in particular those that affect skills development and use, can shape the outcomes of digital transformation and translate into more equally shared benefits among and within countries' populations. Ensuring people can benefit from new technologies and are not left behind requires a comprehensive and co-ordinated policy effort. This package of co-ordinated policies needs to simultaneously promote digitalisation where the latter increases productivity and well-being, and otherwise cushion its negative impacts.

Levamisole use while Breastfeeding
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on Oct 10, 2022.
Drugs containing Levamisole: Ergamisol
Levamisole Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
Levamisole is no longer marketed for human use in the United States because can cause agranulocytosis, but it is used as an anthelmintic in other countries. No published information is available about its excretion into breastmilk. Some information indicates that maternal use may be acceptable during breastfeeding. However, because there is little published experience with levamisole during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. The World Health Organization recommends against breastfeeding with maternal levamisole therapy.
Drug Levels
Maternal Levels. Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
Infant Levels. Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
Effects in Breastfed Infants
A cohort of 33 infants who were breastfed (extent not stated) by hospitalized mothers taking nifurtimox was followed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Thirty mothers took a full course of 30 doses of oral nifurtimox 15 mg/kg daily and all received 14 doses of intravenous eflornithine 400 mg/kg daily for 7 days for human African trypanosomiasis. (sleeping sickness). Six nursing mothers also took levamisole. No serious adverse events were reported in any of the breastfed infants.[1,2]

The latest Dashboard from the European Banking Authority showed last week that the average return on equity of bank had fallen by half a percentage point to 2.0% in the fourth quarter of last year. The costs of equity capital are on average four times higher at European banks. The demand for credit is expected to rise sharply as the vaccinations end the corona pandemic and the economic recovery sets in. Small and medium-sized companies in particular will turn to banks. But chances are they won't meet demand, which could break recovery in the bud.
Capital ratios continued to improve in Q4. This was driven by an increase in capital, which more than offset a slight rise in risk weighted assets. The CET1 ratio reached a new all-time high of 15.5% on a fully loaded basis, up by 40bps quarter-overquarter (QoQ). Also the lower end of the dispersion recorded an increase. The leverage ratio (on a fully loaded basis) increased to 5.8% from 5.5% in the previous quarter. This was supported by growing capital, but also a decline in total assets. The latter
was the result of lower volumes of loans and advances as well as debt securities, whereas cash balances slightly increased. The decline in debt securities was similarly reflected in decreasing sovereign exposures.
The non-performing loan (NPL) ratio decreased by 20bps to 2.6%. The decline was due to a contraction in NPLs, which exceeded the decrease in loans and advances. NPL sales contributed to a large extent to this trend in Q4. NPL ratios declined for both households and non-financial corporates (NFCs). While the NPL ratio declined for most economic sectors it increased materially for accommodation and food services (up from 7.8% to 8.5% QoQ) and arts, entertainment and recreation (up from
6.7% to 7.3%). Amid an only small rise in forborne exposures and despite the decline of the numerator, the forbearance ratio remained unchanged at 2%. The share of stage 2 loans reached 9.1% in Q4, showing a 110bps increase QoQ.
Loans under EBA eligible moratoria nearly halved in Q4. They declined from around EUR 590bn in Q3 to around EUR 320bn in Q4. The decline was more pronounced for NFC exposures than for loans to households. The share of stage 2 loans under moratoria (26.4%) is above that for loans under expired moratoria (20.1%) and nearly three times the ratio for total loans (9.1%). It might indicate that loans still under moratoria might be those with higher risks looking forward, even though it is too early to draw conclusions. On the other hand, the NPL ratio is lower for loans under moratoria (3.3%) than for those under expired moratoria (3.9%). This might be due to the fact that the "past due" criterion kicks in for the latter. Loans under public guarantee schemes (PGS) reached about EUR 340bn, up from around EUR 290bn in Q3. Whereas for PGS loans the share of stage 2 loans (11.7%) was above the overall average of 9.1%, the NPL ratio (1.1%) was less than half of the overall average (2.6%).
Profitability remained strongly subdued. Return on equity (RoE) declined from 2.5% in Q3 to 2% in Q4. The rise in net fee and commission income could not compensate for the decline in net interest income. The latter was due to the contraction in interest bearing assets, amid a flat net interest margin. Cost of risk remained elevated at nearly unchanged 75bps, but with a huge dispersion, indicating that situations seem to be quite different between individual banks. The cost to income ratio rose
by 40bps to 65.1% in Q4. Both, staff expenses as a percentage of equity increased slightly from 10.1% in Q3 to 10.3% in Q4, and other administrative expense from 8 to 8.1%.
The loan to deposit ratio declined from 113.6% in Q3 2020 to 112.2% in Q4, supported by a rise in client deposits from households and NFCs. The asset encumbrance ratio remained unchanged at 27.9%. The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) reached 173.1% in Q4 (171.2% in Q3).

- Psychological health experts could be uniquely positioned to tackle a extensive vary of problems, which includes vaccine hesitancy.
- This hesitancy need to be overcome to improve vaccination premiums and get better from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
- Without enough vaccination, it is not achievable to obtain herd immunity.
Specified that uptake of vaccines is lower amid younger older people — and youthful adulthood is the age of onset for several mental health issues, psychological wellness gurus are uniquely suited to enable prevail over resistance to COVID-19 vaccination. This is the information of an opinion column that appeared in September in
As we technique the second anniversary of the emergence of the pandemic sickness now identified as COVID-19, it has turn into apparent that out there vaccines confer significant protection against the worst ravages of the condition. Of study course, COVID-19 is a potentially life-threatening, multisystem health issues brought about by the coronavirus acknowledged as SARS-CoV-2.
The authors, Dr. Noel T. Brewer and Dr. Neetu Abad, of the column notice: "Mental wellbeing industry experts and groups are experienced to use empathy, reflective listening, and cooperative target location to help individuals tackle difficulties. […] Participating new ways for escalating grownup vaccination is a countrywide priority."
Dr. Brewer is the Gillings Distinguished Professor in General public Health and fitness at the University of North Carolina.
In an electronic mail interview with Health care Information Today, Dr. Brewer wrote: "COVID-19 vaccination is our passport to larger personal independence. It enables us to properly go to stores, cling out with mates, and take a look at loved kinds who are ill. It could even be expected by airlines quickly. We have seen COVID-19 cases overwhelm hospitals in quite a few states."
The stakes are high, Dr. Brewer notes, incorporating: "To avoid a national meltdown in emergency care this winter, the nation demands to get its COVID-19 vaccine coverage up bigger. Psychological wellness specialists can operate with their customers to do the job by way of worries and support them navigate acquiring a COVID-19 vaccine."
Available vaccines have proved hugely powerful at avoiding the worst symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna photographs are mRNA vaccines. This means that they have instructions for our cells to make just 1 smaller phase

|Optimization of a Pulsed-Plasma Controlled Vertical Axis
Wind Turbine
|Department of Mechanical Engineering
|PROF. David Greenblatt
|Full Thesis text
Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) offer several advantages over horizontal axis machines (HAWTs) including insensitivity to wind direction, simple blade design and reduced structural problems (HAWT experience flapping and lead-lag effects) as a result of the proximity of the generator to the ground. However, a drawback of VAWTs is the dynamic stall their blades experience as they are pitched beyond their static stall angle. As a result, the VAWT blades experience a dramatic loss in lift and thus a reduction in turbine efficiency. Furthermore unsteady loads are imposed on the generator.
To control dynamic stall, a novel feed-forward control mechanism was designed and integrated with pulsed dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators on a high solidity, double-bladed NACA0015, H-Rotor vertical axis wind turbine. The optimum angles of plasma actuation initiation and termination were determined parametrically on the upstream half of the turbine azimuth in a low speed blow-down wind tunnel at typical wind speeds found in nature (5m/s and 7m/s). Three different actuator setups were tested on the turbine. A model for the transient response of turbine under the influence of plasma actuation was developed and compared with experimental results. Finally, particle image velocimetry (PIV) data was taken for open-loop and baseline VAWT operation in order to further characterize and understand the effects of plasma actuation on dynamic stall effects.
A major accomplishment of this work was a net turbine power increase of more than 10%. This was achieved by systematically reducing plasma pulsation duty cycles as well as the optimum plasma initiation and termination angles. Nevertheless PIV measurements of the flow field showed that actuation was not fully successful in controlling the dynamic stall vortex. This indicates even greater potential for improvement with more powerful actuation.

I hear this is not specifically cannon to computer game nevertheless it definitely provides us a concept what happened. Thank you Scott it was a great read. I straight actually did not discover the book bewildering at all. A lot does happen at the exact same time nevertheless it was still easy to follow. The hardest indicate acknowledge for me was the style of the * significant location things happen at * nevertheless that's not a huge offer. If you have a look at the numerous other 2 books, get this one. I have actually been following the custom of fnaf for numerous years. I have actually enjoyed a lot of video, played the video games and likewise now I have actually wound up all guides. I have a look at the 3 primary books in 4 days. I truthfully think the 3rd publication is the absolute best. It left me so uncertain and my mind blown along with I merely really wanted a lot more. I in fact hope Scott Cawthon continues with the films. I need this brought to life. This will definitely be brief and likewise to the point. Because 5 Nights at Freddy's TOOK OFF with appeal, much has actually stuck to. Amongst the specified points is the books.

Among cities in Florida, Gainesville already leads in renewable energy. As Mayor, I will continue our city on the path to making GRU's energy production 100% renewable by 2045. Under my leadership, we will not be waiting twenty years to take action on climate. As Mayor, I will insist on establishing data-driven targets for reducing carbon pollution across our entire city. In the first 100 days of my term, I will ask the GRU manager to scale back the fuel adjustment rate, which will make a difference in utility bills immediately. In order to keep GRU financially solvent, we have two choices: we cut GRU spending or our neighbors have higher bills. As Mayor, I will always push to cut GRU spending to prevent our bills from being even higher. I will continue advocating for investment in more energy efficient homes so that our energy bills are lower during the hottest and coldest months of the year.
In our work we will always center the communities and ecosystems that are being harmed most by climate change. In my capacity as your City Commissioner, I am serving on the Environmental Justice subcommittee that is comprehensively addressing these issues. Read more about my record and our platform to combat climate change:
- Purchasing 700+ acres of land for conservation within the City of Gainesville in partnership with Alachua County and the Alachua Conservation Trust
- Preventing the Weyerhaeuser Company from developing more than 1,700 acres on its silviculture property in NW Gainesville
- Opposing the construction of new natural gas pipelines and fossil fuel infrastructure
- Applying for statewide education grants for Community Rooftop Solar in partnership with the NAACP and Alachua County
- Creating science-based carbon reduction targets citywide for 2025 through 2030
- Establishing high performance energy standards for our current government buildings
- Eliminating carbon emissions for all new government buildings
- Creating incentives to promote energy positive buildings that generate more energy than they use
- Guaranteeing access to residential weatherization to expand energy conservation
- Educating members of our community and children in our schools about conservation and sustainability
- Including citizens and environmental justice activists in decision-making processes
- Increasing the accessibility of our roads for pedestrians and bicyclists
- Ensuring robust racial equity analysis for all climate decisions
- Creating a circular economic plan to keep our local economy strong
- Preserving and empowering our historically Black neighborhoods within Gainesville
In Gainesville, we are developing a long-term Zero Waste Master Plan to make our city fully sustainable by 2040. This year we will be passing the Zero Waste Ordinance which will move us substantially toward our goal by requiring residents and commercial properties to follow our comprehensive plan. Here are some of the objectives we will be pursuing in the Mayor's office:
- Developing a Circular Economy Plan of sharing, reusing, refusing, recycling, and repairing rather than buying new. As Mayor, I will support businesses like the Repurpose Project and supplement their hard work with city initiatives.
- Providing citywide residential curbside food waste collection
- Requiring businesses to separate food waste for garbage collection
- Deflecting student apartment complex waste during move-in and move-out
- Requiring all grocery stores, restaurants, and other food vendors to divert their food waste from garbage streams
- Ensuring indoor recycling containers for all multi-family residences
Gainesville Regional Transit System (RTS) provides an essential service to the people of our city. Everyone regardless of their age, ability, or income should be able to use RTS to get to work, visit their physician, or meet up with friends. When more people ride RTS buses, we reduce our carbon footprint and lower congestion on our busy streets. That's why the Commission passed fare free riding for minors (under age 18) and seniors (over age 65). By 2026, we should expand free rides to everyone in our city.
- Expanding our-on-demand First Mile Last Mile shuttle service to every corner of Gainesville
- Making RTS a truly county wide service to benefit everyone in Alachua County
- Expanding partner contracts to include more service throughout the urbanized area
- Funding more electric vehicles – we have already purchased two electric buses that will save RTS money and reduce our carbon emissions
As Mayor, I will create a bicycle roadway system that connects all of Gainesville's bike trails and protects bicyclists from car traffic. This idea was originally called the Infinity Line and was brought to the City Commission as a UF graduate project. The project will take years to complete, but will eventually connect the trails of North, East, South, and West Gainesville. The people of Gainesville will be able to get anywhere in our city while safely riding on our bike trails away from dangerous roadways.
- Reducing speed limits throughout our city to educate drivers on how to share the roads in our neighborhoods and commercial areas
- Advocating for a complete street makeover of West and East University Avenue where pedestrian deaths have tragically occurred
- Expanding enforcement of traffic rules to address speeding concerns near our neighborhoods
Gainesville celebrates our LGBTQ+ community in many ways. We support legal rights through our Human Rights Ordinance prohibiting any discrimination by local businesses or governments. We sponsor Pride Month in October (and enjoy the usual celebration in June). As Mayor I will continue to foster inclusivity and pursue more policies to achieve that.
- Supporting gender transition health care as an approved service under Gainesville's employee health plan
- Requiring all public restrooms provide menstrual products to the public free of charge
- Closing fully the gender pay gap for all positions at City Hall
In a continuation of our work to expand affordable housing, Gainesville will soon become the first city in Florida to center racial equity in our land development and comprehensive zoning plans. All families regardless of their race or socioeconomic status should be able to choose an affordable home anywhere in our city. These families also deserve public workshops that allow them to mitigate the impacts of new housing developments. As Mayor, I will work every day to deliver on our inclusive vision for Gainesville by building more affordable housing.
- Chairing committee that passed the Renters' Bill of Rights with substantial input from tenants and landlords to ensure old rental housing meets health and safety specifications
- Requiring all new development regardless of zone to include affordable housing
- Requiring all new housing to contribute to the newly created Housing Trust which will provide resources for affordable housing projects
- Providing inclusive and educational neighborhood workshops for new housing developments that affect neighborhoods
- Funding Community Land Trusts for family homes threatened by gentrification
- Expanding partnership with Gainesville Housing Authority to build more affordable housing with State, Federal, and local funding
- Eliminating parking requirements to allow for more space for housing developments to be used for housing and green space
- Expanding GRACE Marketplace Street Outreach Team to contact our neighbors living without a home
- Establishing funding streams for the Alachua County Housing Trust and continuing to support Housing First policies
Our technology infrastructure provides the support necessary for better public services and policy decisions. Ultimately, greater connectivity allows our local government to respond more effectively to the needs of our city.
- Funding Smart City Bus Benches that include Wi-Fi for waiting passengers
- Expanding high-speed internet access to homes in underserved, privately monopolized, and rural areas
- Securing funding through partnerships with the Biden Administration and the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on our community even though the Commission and I strongly promoted public health measures like social distancing indoors, mask wearing, and vaccination programs. Instead of re-litigating the events of the pandemic, I will focus on overcoming public health issues that already plagued Gainesville before the pandemic and were in many cases exacerbated over the last two years.
- Supporting a new UF Health Eastside clinic to allow patients to receive care after hours
- Expanding Community Resource Paramedic program that services frequent 911 ambulance callers
- Sponsoring a resolution opposing abortion bans in Florida similar to the outrageous law passed in Texas that legalizes private citizens to become vigilantes and report on their neighbors
- Serving on the UF President's Alcohol Coalition to reduce alcohol related deaths, violence, and other health problems among our young people
Our fire and police departments continue to constitute the largest parts of Gainesville's budget. Our investments in these critical services demonstrate our commitment to keeping our citizens safe, but more must be done. Dangerous roadways must be treated as the threats to public safety that they truly represent. Too often, pedestrians are tragically dying on our roads in accidents that could be prevented through smart public policy and effective intergovernmental collaboration.
- Combating the epidemic of gun violence by implementing a comprehensive prevention program which includes buying back large numbers of guns and using police interrupters to work with youth who are in danger of coming into contact with firearms
- Suing the State of Florida for prohibiting our city from regulating the possession of firearms on city property or even discussing the possibility of gun reform
- Voting to raise GPD and GFR salaries in multiple union contracts to ensure that our people are taken care of and receive living wages
- Approving renovations and safety upgrades for South Main Street to protect the public
For five years on the City Commission, I have been championing the rights of working people to respect and dignity. Securing justice for laboring people is not merely about ensuring living wages and pay equity though these are critical priorities. We must additionally work to overcome an economic system that exploits, mistreats, and abuses workers to increase the profits of the powerful. As Mayor, I will continue supporting the rights of workers to fair compensation, safe working conditions, and good benefits.
- Securing living wages of at least $15 per hour for all city employees
- Sponsoring, before any other Commissioner, the proposal to immediately end all prison labor contracts which are exploitative and contrary to Gainesville values
- Reaching an agreement with all local employees' unions which raised wages and addressed other working concerns
- Passing a guaranteed living wage for all government contractors and opposing Tallahassee's efforts to preempt this critical local ordinance
- Advocating for apprenticeship preference when selecting local contractors for bids
- Addressing the report recommending that our previous City Manager be terminated by attempting to amicably part ways with the employee despite the majority voting to retain the officer
- Attempting to keep multiple Charter Officers from resigning due to their lack of support from the majority of the City Commission
Our Parks and Recreation Department provides dozens of neighborhood parks along with the world class Depot Park. We must continue opening more parks that feature diverse options for people of all ages, backgrounds, and ability levels. As your next Mayor, I will work to ensure that our children receive more playgrounds, our athletes get more fields and courses, and our families can enjoy the beauty of Gainesville in our city parks.
- Opening parks within a safe 10-minute walk of every Gainesville neighborhood
- Building a new park in Southwest Gainesville to ensure no part of our city is left out of our efforts
- Creating a new Rattlesnake Creek Park in central Gainesville
- Remediating Sweetwater Park and daylighting full Sweetwater Branch Creek for public enjoyment
- Supporting the remediation of Boulware Springs into a public park
- Supporting Cultural Arts Center in East Gainesville for the public to enjoy
- Advocating the reauthorization of Wild Spaces and Public Places
- Establishing a new Disc Golf course in Gainesville
- Creating a new Senior Center in East Gainesville for all to enjoy
- Completing renovations of Forest Park to include lighted athletic fields and additional seating
- Coordinating renovation of Citizen's Field with Alachua County Public Schools
Our children and youth are our greatest treasure in Gainesville. As Mayor, I will continue working to expand Child and Youth services in Gainesville and Alachua County. We will work to expand the city's role in supporting our wonderful youth services throughout our region.
- Funding fully the new Child and Youth Services Division within Gainesville Parks and Recreation
- Hiring and training youth with American Rescue Plan funding for a Youth Corps job program within Gainesville that would connect youth with voluntary internships, apprenticeships, and other career-oriented jobs
- Creating a community wide system of wrap around services to support our children and youth by partnering with Alachua County Public Schools and the Alachua County Commission
- Funding an Eastside Cultural Arts Center with programming for all youth providing after-school services and cultural education
- Creating a Mayor's Youth Council to create a direct line of communication between young people and the Mayor's Office to prioritize the needs of our youth
- Ending our city's culture of violence by implementing a comprehensive anti-violence program that detects and interrupts conflict before it escalates
- Identifying and treating the highest risk individuals by expanding opportunities for our youth to live productive and meaningful lives free of domestic and interpersonal violence
Our local economy in Gainesville continues to be filled with numerous opportunities to secure a good job, buy from local companies, and start a small business. As Mayor, I will create the first Gainesville Economic Development Strategy that centers the individual needs of our local businesses. By building meaningful and lasting relationships between City Hall and our vibrant business community, we can fully unleash the economic potential of Gainesville.
- Implementing the first Gainesville Economic Development Strategy will allow the city to attract more businesses, assist businesses with getting started, and offer a unique opportunity to receive feedback on how the city can help businesses and customers
- Improving our relationships with the business community by passing the first of its kind in our city, Gainesville Economic Development Strategy
- Collaborating with Santa Fe College and Alachua County Public Schools to provide career and technical training curricula for in demand jobs in Gainesville
- Improving Gainesville's start-up business incubator network by helping people access office space and industry mentors
- Completing the Power District development downtown to transform empty warehouse space into a walkable area for businesses, parks, and the future Sweetwater Creek Greenway
As a Commissioner, I have been committed to governing responsibly with our partner governments. Without justification, however, Gainesville has been specifically targeted by Governor Ron DeSantis' government in Tallahassee. As Mayor, I will continue standing up against the governor's interference in matters of local government. Here are some of the ways we are fighting back:
- Challenging Ron DeSantis' signature bill 'HB1' which restricts the First Amendment rights of peaceful protestors and limits local governments' authority over our own public safety budgets
- Supporting academic freedom at the University of Florida for our many professors and students who have been retaliated against by the Tallahassee government for daring to challenge DeSantis
- Supporting bans on single use plastic bags, straws, and Styrofoam even as the governor undermines our ability to protect the health of our ecosystems and communities
- Supporting mask requirements, social distancing, and COVID-19 testing during the pandemic while DeSantis was hiding COVID-19 data to make his administration look competent
- Funding more community testing to prepare Gainesville for potential new variant surges
- Developing purchasing and procurement policies that reflect the demographics of our city including more competitive contract opportunities for minority and women owned businesses
In 2021, Gainesville launched the Gainesville Immigrant Neighbors Inclusion Initiative (GINI) so that non-English speakers could better access our local government. As Mayor, I will support fully funding this project to make Gainesville a fully language inclusive city. After we have accomplished this, I believe we should explore creating an International Center that will house immigrant neighbor services, provide language access opportunities, and serve as a community center.
The historic partnership between UF and Gainesville demands mutual accountability and requires a focus on delivering for the people rather than on ensuring profits for the few. While I strongly oppose Ron DeSantis' interference in the UF Administration through the placement of his donors on the Board of Governors, I will continue developing new relationships with UF so that we can focus on our common mission of serving the public. As Mayor, here are some of the policies I will support:
- Creating a partnership with the Center for Arts and Medicine to provide community spaces for arts and cultural programming in East Gainesville
- Providing UF Start-Up companies with incubation and acceleration assistance by offering financial incentives and investment opportunities
- Supporting Civic Collaboration Spaces with Reimagine Gainesville to provide professional support and mentorship to change-makers in Gainesville so that community ideas can secure the resources necessary to thrive

Article Title
Invisible Labor: Job Satisfaction and Exploitation Among Female Domestic Workers in Pakistan
Document Type
The aim of this research was to look at the levels of job satisfaction among female domestic workers in Lahore and its association with the exploitation they face at work. Paid domestic service is not a part of the formal economy of Pakistan, thus there is no legal or political framework protecting workers. Informal work raises domestic workers' chances of facing exploitation during employment in various forms. Sociological research conducted in this subject is very minimal, which is why this research was important to assess the working conditions of female domestic workers and how satisfied did they feel with their jobs. Two-Factor Theory by Herzberg was used to identify the factors of exploitation that lead to either job satisfaction or dissatisfaction. This research is of quantitative nature using survey based approach by targeting 100 employed female domestic workers above the age of 18 currently residing in Lahore. Random sampling technique was decided to be used for data collection but later on snowball sampling technique was adopted. The hypothesis for this research was "Women working in domestic service, facing more exploitation, perceive less job satisfaction and vice versa." Factor Analysis and Simple Linear Regression were used to analyze the results of this research.

3. What are some areas where you did not get as far as you'd hoped? Explain why you think you didn't get there. This is not an exercise in self-flagellation, it's just an exploration 🙂

Published by The Source Weekly
According to a recent report from the Women's Foundation of Oregon, an estimated one million Oregon women and girls have experienced some form of sexual or domestic violence. Meanwhile, working Oregonian women earn between 53 and 83 cents for every dollar men in Oregon earn, making for one of the largest wealth gaps in the nation. On Oct. 29, the sold-out TEDxBendWomen event aims to address those issues and work on solutions.
Now in its second official year, TEDxBendWomen is following a different format from the typical cadre of speakers and performers. Instead, the event will be more interactive, with a panel discussion, small and large group dialogues, and live streaming of a portion of the main TEDWomen event. Panelists will include Luanne Abrams, manager of FoundersPad; Emily Evans, director of the Women's Foundation of Oregon; and Kim Paxton-Hagner, regional leader of CTZNWELL. [Read More…]

He says in regards to improving mental health care access in Michigan – less government may be key.
Kelley believes government shutdowns and inflation are fueling the crisis. He says he believes the government should partner with faith-based communities to empower them to play a larger role in addressing mental health.
