"I am so sick of fundraising."
Leila Janah, the founder and CEO of Sama Group, has just left an hour-long staff meeting about grant proposals, and she is venting as we dig into an artisanal brick-oven pizza at Farina, a restaurant in San Francisco.
Janah, 33, founded Sama in 2008 with the belief that creating work opportunities is the most effective tool for fighting poverty. Sama goes into communities that lack living-wage jobs—from the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, and Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to rural Arkansas—and trains people to do digital work, such as verifying data that makes Google's search algorithms smarter and flagging inappropriate content posted to TripAdvisor. So far, Sama reports that it has helped approximately 51,000 people, almost 22,000 direct beneficiaries and another 29,000-plus of their income dependents. In 2015, Sama aided twice as many people as it did in 2014.
Janah, as usual, is feeling bullish about her mission, but she's chafing at the strictures of the traditional not-for-profit model. Janah may run an antipoverty organization, but she is also a Harvard-educated former management consultant who believes in the startup ethos of experimentation, iteration, and the occasional pivot. Grant proposals, by contrast, typically compel organizations like Sama to detail programs step-by-step, in advance. "It basically requires you to predict what is going to happen in the future," Janah says.
Eradicating poverty, though, is by definition unpredictable labor. Janah's team has to find and train people in Kenya who have never used a computer. It has to find dependable Internet access to teach clients in rural Arkansas, where bandwidth is as scarce as jobs. Some of the good assignments it finds require several weeks of unpaid training, and Sama's clients can't afford to go that long between paychecks.
Janah tells me that when she gets discouraged, she remembers the maxim that every human being you help is an infinite victory. In Sama's work, its success stories are people like Kristen Logan, a former administrative assistant in economically depressed Merced, California. She lost her job after five years and wasn't sure if she would ever find another one that would let her support three kids by herself. Logan has used the skills she learned via Sama's training academy to find a position fielding calls for a beauty school in New York—and earns more than she did previously.
For Janah, that is hardly enough—which is why she has dedicated herself to freeing Sama from the stifling not-for-profit funding process. This is a radical burst of independence, and Sama is already close to achieving it. Thanks to contracts with companies including Getty Images, Microsoft, and Qualcomm, Sama has generated enough income to cover the majority of its operating costs. "If we can show that not only can we provide this dramatic improvement [in Sama workers' lives], but we can do it on a break-even basis, it's revolutionary," Janah says. "Let's say you invested a dollar in 2009. The social return on that dollar will be infinite."
Sama represents a new model for social impact: a nonprofit that is self-funding. To get closer to that goal, in October, Janah launched an affiliated for-profit business called Laxmi, a high-end cosmetics line that enlists poor African people, predominantly women, to grow, harvest, and process its ingredients in exchange for a fair wage. Her goal is to use some of Laxmi's profits to fund Sama's current operations as well as give her additional capital to find new ways to fight poverty. While buy-one, get-one companies like Toms and tech-powered not-for-profits like Charity: Water have blurred the line between charities and startups, Janah wants to merge the two worlds entirely.
Sama, which means "equal" in Sanskrit, has had Silicon Valley DNA since its inception. Janah started the company in a Facebook-backed startup accelerator alongside ride-sharing service Lyft. Shervin Pishevar, an early investor in Uber, and Dave Morin, then a Facebook employee who would later become a noted angel investor, were among the program's first funders.
Janah partnered with an outsourcing center in Kenya to create jobs for the poor. Sama supplied it with work from tech companies—with the requirement that tasks be completed by people who, prior to hiring, were making below a living wage. To help maintain quality, Sama developed proprietary software that breaks this digital work into bite-size tasks. Last year, it took a step away from this partnership model altogether and opened its own work center near the Mathare slums in Nairobi.
To address poverty in the United States, Janah introduced a school to teach Americans how to find virtual work. The initial plan was for students to secure gigs through freelance labor marketplaces such as Upwork. But while some students found success, they faced steep international competition from low-wage laborers. To improve job placement, Sama shifted to focus on specific skills like social media marketing. Sama's program directors in Merced, California, and Dumas, Arkansas, two of the locations where it operates, secured at least one virtual internship for each student. By the end of its second year of operation, about 50% of attendees succeeded in winning at least one online contract, and in August, Sama launched an online course to reach more people. It has since expanded the program to Nairobi.
Janah hasn't been shy about promoting her mission. "Some people don't like [it]," she admits when I ask her about complaints regarding her Instagram selfies with Richard Branson and her frequent presence on the conference circuit. "But all of our biggest deals come from pounding that kind of pavement." She counts the likes of Eventbrite cofounder Julia Hartz and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick as friends, and she aggressively converts those relationships into professional opportunities. She recently won a deal with Uber to create a custom curriculum it could offer potential drivers.
At Google Zeitgeist in October 2015 (the search company's own version of TED), Janah met Thumbtack cofounder Jonathan Swanson; a couple of weeks later she visits his headquarters to find a way to work together. Thumbtack is a startup valued at $1.3 billion that uses a smartphone app to connect customers with plumbers, home cleaners, and other independent professionals in their area. In 2015, the company claims that 200,000 of those pros fielded 6 million project requests and generated nearly $1 billion in revenue. "In New York City, we are training 1,000 people," Janah tells Swanson, citing a new deal Sama made to teach courses there in 2016 thanks to a grant from the Robin Hood Foundation. "If we had people get jobs on Thumbtack after that, it would make everyone very happy. Are there any gaps [our students] could fill?"
Swanson pulls up a spreadsheet. Carpet cleaning? Lawn mowing? Moving? He moves down the list of job requests for which Thumbtack has the most unmet demand. Before long, Janah and Swanson launch into a full-fledged brainstorming session, and I watch like it's a game of Ping-Pong. Swanson has an idea for outsourcing video editing in partnership with GoPro: "One click, and someone in Africa would pick out the good clips and set it to a song." Janah suggests a matchmaking service, with workers swiping profiles on their clients' behalf. She pitches Swanson on joining a yet-to-be-created Sama advisory board and a plot in which cities would use Thumbtack to hire Samaschool graduates. Swanson is careful not to commit, but he can't stop nodding his head at the ideas. As Janah says on her way out, "We have so many businesses to start."
The idea for the Laxmi skin-care line first occurred to Janah during a trip to Benin, West Africa, where she realized that locals were growing shea in their yards. "I said, 'Let's build an export industry, but only buy from poor women,' " she remembers. "We can solve poverty while also making our skin better." Laxmi's mission, as with Sama's not-for-profit initiatives, is to create good jobs.
When I visit last fall, Laxmi has just shipped its first orders, and Janah has set up a notification on her phone to alert her every time a new customer orders Nilotica Facial Crème ($72 for 50 ml) or Rose Water Regenerating Mist ($52 for 50 ml) from the website. "Did you see that we made a sale this morning?" she asks MJ Doctors, Laxmi's COO, as she enters a meeting in a Sama conference room. Doctors, who is just as excited as Janah about the early sale, has spent the past year traveling to rural African villages to set up Laxmi's ethical supply chain, sourcing its antiaging ingredient, called Kigelia, from South Africa and its rose water from Morocco.
The $11.2 billion luxury cosmetics market is a crowded one, so having a product line with a good story attached to it is essential, and this meeting is devoted to Laxmi's marketing. Thea Kocher, Laxmi's chief marketing officer, who has also led marketing at beauty brands Caudalie and Bobbi Brown, Skypes into the meeting from New York. Janah swivels her laptop so that the screen faces Doctors and the beamed-in Kocher. She plays a video produced by the natural candy company Unreal. "We love candy," it begins. "But it's made with junk." Janah pauses the video. "I think a key marketing idea," she says, "is that you should be able to pronounce all of the ingredients in your food, but why not what you put on your skin? Do you really want Yellow No. 5 on your face?"
Janah tells me later that she wants Laxmi to be like Method Products, the household supplies company. Does Method use bottles made from 100% recycled plastic? Sure. But it distinguishes its soap with its good branding as well as its values. Laxmi has the social-good story and the clean-ingredients list for those people who care about it, but it also has a distinctive design ethos: Its facial cream comes in an appealing black glass jar that blocks UV rays so it doesn't need to use synthetic preservatives.
Initially, Janah envisioned Laxmi as part of her not-for-profit, but she knew Sama's donors would be hesitant to fund the marketing and infrastructure needed to build a high-end beauty brand. "Who cares?" she says of the expenses when compared with the potential benefits. "What you spend on pencils versus pens, versus salaries shouldn't matter. What matters is this amount of money was spent in this fiscal year and this impact was delivered in this fiscal year."
Instead of applying for grants, Janah tapped her network to fund Laxmi's launch, raising a $2 million seed round from the likes of LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman, Toms Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie, and former Yahoo CEO Tim Koogle (who's also chairman of Method Products). "I was shocked at how easy it was to raise money as a for-profit business," Janah says.
Eventually, Laxmi wants to grow its line to as many as 70 or 80 products. Then, there are ancillary markets such as jewelry and home decorations that Janah envisions expanding into, both of which could create jobs for poor women in remote locations. "This is the beginning," Doctors says. "The idea is to iterate."
The high-end beauty market may seem dissonant with the rest of Sama's mission, but that disparity is by design. "The problem is poor people are typically doing low-margin activities," Janah says. "That's why businesses don't hire them. It's expensive to recruit and train them. However, if you have a big enough margin on top, you can cover the cost and return to investors." Making Laxmi as luxurious as possible is, ironically, the only way for it to effectively employ some of the poorest people in the world.
Sama owns 12% of Laxmi and Janah owns 24%. This means that if Laxmi pays dividends or is acquired, Sama will receive a windfall. "Laxmi can eventually generate money for additional social enterprises," she says.
It is, Janah acknowledges, a hack of the system. In her ideal world, she would not have to promise investors or corporate backers profits, just as she doesn't want to adhere to rigid grant requirements. All of it detracts from maximizing social impact.
But this is not an ideal world, and as Janah told me when we first met, "I don't have a Mother Teresa complex. I'm a pragmatist."

Clusters of wood and mirrored circles give this openwork wall art panel its contemporary vibe.More Details >
This contemporary wall art panel features an openwork cluster of small, medium, and large circles in both deep walnut and mirrored finishes. The largest circle in the mix is 6" round and the smallest is 2" round, and the mirrored circles have beveled edges to help spread light around the room. May be hung vertically or horizontally. Hang weight 17 1/2 pounds.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I was looking for a decorator piece that would 1) match the dark brown in my bedspread and 2) act like a mirror and reflect the light from the window opposite my bed without really looking like a mirror. This seemed like the perfect piece. When I opened the box, I was disappointed that the brown circles actually were a reddish mahogany brown rather than a true brown. Nope, wouldn't match the bedspread. However, since this was the only piece I had found after a very long search, I decided to hang it up and see if it worked. Surprise - it looks perfect! I love the way the circles reflect the light from the window across from the bed. The room seemed instantly larger because of that reflection. If you look close, you can see that reddish brown circles don't exactly match the bedspread, but they are close enough that I'm satisfied. Actually, VERY satisfied with this piece. (Oh yes, and it comes with the hangers already attached to hang it either horizontally or vertically.)

Lomas de los Monteros Apartamentos Hotel Details
Check-in: 15:00:00
Check-out: 11:00:00
The Apartamentos Montera are two recently refurbished apartments sleeping from 1 to 4 or 6 people and are located in the centre of Madrid. This is an excellent location near one of the main thoroughfares of the city, the Gran Via. This is the perfect starting point for shopping or site-seeing. The Hortaleza, hip Fuencarral and grand Preciados streets are all very close by. The Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and Plaza Santa Ana are all walking distance and are the most important in the city. Other areas are interesting and worth exploring such as the Austrias area, Chueca, Malasaña and more. The three major museums of the city, Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofía are all nearby as well. There is no shortage of things to do in this area!
Both apartments are located on the sixth floor of a building with a lift. The first apartment, Montera I, is 45m2 and sleeps 4 in one double bedroom and in a double sofa bed in the living room. There is a kitchen, bathroom, living/dining room which are all beautifully renovated with hard wood floors.
The second apartment, Montera II, is 100m2 and sleeps 6. There are two bedrooms (one twin and one double) and a sofa bed in the living room. The apartment also has a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with shower and a living/dining room.
Both apartments have a TV and DVD system, wireless internet and CD player. There is heating and air conditioning, all the mod- cons you can need.
You'll enjoy living like a Madrid native in style in this central apartment!
Centre of Madrid, Gran Via. Near Hortaleza, hip Fuencarral and Preciados stopping streets. Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and Plaza Santa Ana. Gran via metro lines 1 and 5 are 200 metres.

From: Beautilicious,
It's been a newsworthy week of celebrity heirs and celebrity hair. In case you missed it, earlier this week Beyoncé - while live on stage in Montreal - got her famous, flowing mane caught in a fan. Shocked (and slightly amused) by the images, and blown away by Bey's professionalism as she continued belting out 'Halo' while her security team worked to de-tangle her, we couldn't help but eye the electric fans in our office with a new caution. We wouldn't be without them in this heat, but that means that we too run the risk of becoming tangled, and so without a security team of our own to help us out we've formulated a plan. This summer when the heat threatens to ruin your look, just think, 'what would Beyoncé do?'
Public transport in the summer; it gets hotter and, somehow, even more crowded, which can spell disaster for flip flop wearers. What do you do when an off-balance fellow passenger lands on your foot and ruins your pedicure? Well there are a number of options. You could carry a bottle of polish with you at all times ready for emergency touch-ups. You could cover a chipped nail with a (less than chic, but handy) plaster. Or, the only option for a sandal-wearing diva, get yourself a pedi pronto.
In a bid to get out in the sun you recklessly dry-shaved your legs (or other 'hair-ea'), pressing too hard on your razor in the excitement and not bothering to moisturise afterwards. Now you've developed a nasty shaving rash. You have two options. You could cover up your pins with a pair of jeans (but do you really think Beyoncé would be caught wearing jeans when she could be wearing hotpants?). Or, you could invest in a soothing aloe vera gel and, for bonus diva points, employ someone to apply it for you.
In your rush to get outside you also forgot to apply sun cream meaning you are now somewhat burned and soon to be the owner of some embarrassing tan lines. The solution? Don't get sunburned. These days we're spoiled for choice when it comes to sun cream that there's really no excuse. Take a look at our guide to sun cream for everyone from water babies to organic souls and remember, always use protection.
Forget electronic fans, when summer comes around humidity is the biggest hair hazard around leaving fine hair looking limp and frizz-prone hair looking, well, frizzy. When humidity rears it's ugly head, you could cover your own with a silky summer scarf that's very D&G spring-summer 2013 (and very A-list) or head to your nearest blow dry bar and get a professional to help smooth out the situation.
It's an age old question (sort of) what do you do about make up in the heat? Many of us don't feel we can be without a layer of slap, but hot, sticky conditions can lead to smudging, running and in extreme cases, dripping. Don't panic. Get yourself to your nearest makeup counter for an emergency glam-over as most assistants will be happy to test out some products they think will work for you. Alternatively, you could hire your own makeup artist to follow you around and tell you how fabulous you are. The choice is yours.

School Notes
- Woodrow Wilson Senior High School is a secondary school located in Washington, DC, United States.
- Wilson, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the District of Columbia Public Schools.
- Dr. Stephen P. Tarason is currently the sitting principal for Wilson and has been since 1999. The school's website says "'Woodrow Wilson Senior High School, Washington, D.C.'s largest comprehensive public high school, is known for its academic excellence and for its geographic, ethnic and economic diversity'". The school's student body represents 85 countries and the students come from 40 different schools in the city. The school mascot is the Wilson Tiger, and the motto is "Haec olim meninissee juvabit", which translates to "In days to come, it will please us to remember this". It is notable that, in context in Virgil's Aeneid, the line was an ironic comment made after the characters survived a shipwreck. Woodrow Wilson Senior High is located in DC's Tenleytown neighborhood, one block off Wisconsin Avenue NW.
- In mid 2006, Woodrow Wilson Senior High School was proposed to be a charter school, but opposition from out-of-bounds students put the plan on hold. It has however a major objective of neighborhood and in-bounds interests. Woodrow Wilson Senior High School is the top performer in the non-magnet High School system in DCPS and one of the top performers in DCPS overall.
- The school serves several neighborhoods, including Georgetown, Glover Park, and Tenleytown.
- The school's demographics are as follows:
- School boundaries encompass everything west of 16th Street, NW, all of southwest Washington north of the Anacostia River, and parts of Capitol Hill southeast.
- Nearly 40 percent of the students receive free and reduced lunch benefits.
- About 89 percent of Wilson students continue their education beyond high school, with 77 percent attending four-year or two year colleges or universities. Woodrow Wilson HS was the first school in the metropolitan area to adopt and implement a four course a day, alternating even day and odd day, modular schedule.
- Aside from its academic strengths, Wilson is also known for its athletic and extracurricular programs. Not only do the Tigers maintain the only crew team among DC public high schools, but the baseball team has won more than ten consecutive city championships, and the soccer, cross country, and track teams are perennially among the best in the city.
- Wilson used to be the only public school in DC with a swimming pool, but the pool has been out of operation for the past five years.
- Famous alumni: Ray Blair; H.R., musician; Clarence Greenwood, a.k.a. Citizen Cope, musician; Emmanuel Burriss, baseball player; Darryl Jennifer, musician; Ian MacKaye, musician; Henry Rollins, musician, poet, media personality; Roger Mudd, Reporter; David Mays, Publisher (The Source); Tommy Duren, Politician, Puppeteer, Child Entertainer; Frank Rich, Editorialist, Drama Critic (The New York Times); Ian Herbert, Journalist (Washington Post Express); Adrian Fenty, Mayor-Elect of Washington, DC; Aquil Abdullah, Olympic Rower; Warren Buffett, Billionaire; DJ Spooky, musician.

Private Health Insurance: In Most States and New Exchanges, Enrollees Continued to be Concentrated among Few Issuers in 2014 [Reissued on February 14, 2017]
GAO-16-724: Published: Sep 6, 2016. Publicly Released: Sep 6, 2016.
GAO found that enrollment in private health insurance plans remained concentrated among a small number of issuers in most states in 2014, including in the newly established exchanges.

Based on a review of literature and interviews with 38 stakeholders, GAO identified challenges faced by small and rural physician practices when participating in Medicare's new payment models.

Key sources of federal support for hospitals incurring costs for services provided to uninsured and other low-income individuals (uncompensated care costs) include multiple types of Medicaid and Medicare payments totaling about $50 billion annually.

To help ensure that veterans are provided timely and accessible health care services, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has purchased care from non-VA community providers through its care in the community programs since as early as 1945.

GAO-16-238: Published: Feb 2, 2016. Publicly Released: Mar 3, 2016.
The nonemergency medical transportation (NEMT) benefits offered by Medicare and Medicaid differ.

GAO-16-31: Published: Dec 18, 2015. Publicly Released: Jan 19, 2016.

For example, these organizations assigned care coordinators to beneficiaries us...

Who Wrote Sobig?
Opinion: It was the greatest e-mail worm of its era (meaning last year), but its real role was to help spammers hide their identities. Guess who might have written it?Sobig hit the world on Aug. 18, 2003, and was an immediate success. The sixth variant, Sobig.F, may have been the most successful endemic mass-mailer worm. Estimates of the damages it caused were in the tens of millions of dollars, and the reward posted for the author was similarly fat. Anonymous authors have released a document detailing forensic efforts to identify the author of this worm. They say that they hope to assist law enforcement efforts by releasing details and to demonstrate to the public how forensic techniques may be used to identify the authors of these attacks. They also say they stayed anonymous to keep the focus on Sobig and not them. I was surprised to see that they identified a specific person. According to the paper, "... Ruslan Ibragimov of Moscow, Russia, and/or Ibragimovs development team, authored the Sobig virus. Ibragimov himself is the author of Send-Safe, a bulk mailing tool product that was explicitly designed for sending unsolicited email (spam)." Ibragimov has vehemently denied being the author of Sobig.
Whether he wrote Sobig or not, Ibragimov is an easy character to dislike. He is the proprietor of the Russian company Send-Safe, maker of quality spamming tools. (Please read about his products; theyre good blood-boiling material irrespective of this Sobig stuff. I especially seethed at his "Bulk IM" products.)

The man found himself on a dirt road. How he came to be there was a mystery, for he could not remember the circumstances of his arrival. In fact, he had no recollection of anything in the past. All around him was an alien landscape and heavy foliage lined the path that stretched into the distance.
"What is going on?", he said to himself, "Why am I here?" The man decided that perhaps the answer lay at the end of the trail, so he began to walk.
After a short time a shape emerged before him, seemingly out of nowhere. The man was startled, but regained his composure quickly. Looking the newcomer over, the man was puzzled. The figure was dressed in a shabby manner, wearing a worn out buckskin shirt and pants and carrying an antiquated flintlock rifle.
The man wanted to speak to this new arrival, but never had the chance. With a cursory glance, the one blocking his way said in a plain gruff voice; "You are on the right path, continue." On that note, the individual stepped back into the overgrowth and disappeared.
"Strange," said the man, "an obvious eccentric." So he continued on his way.
A short time later the man found his path once again blocked by an individual that appeared suddenly and without warning. This time the intruder was dressed in a blue tunic, with matching blue trousers that had a yellow stripe running down the side of each leg.
Again, the man was given a quick once over, and then was addressed in an accent he couldn't identify; "Ah, not a Son of Erin, but you'll do. Your on the right path, continue." As before, the way was made clear by the departure of this most recent interloper.
The man was confused. "What is going on," he thought, "why am I here, and who are they that seem to pass judgment on whether or not to allow me to continue my journey?"
End of PT 1.

Were these instructions helpful?
former owner had put wrong amp bulbs in bottom lights of MW and I noticed the MW was too hot to touch whenever I used the under (range) light. Most likely very unsafe and fire hazard. All the parts fit perfectly and installed easily. Much cheaper than buying a new GE Microwave.

What can cosmetic dental work do for your self-esteem that all the pots of cream and eyeliner on Madison Avenue can't? While we agree with the ad men that esthetics motivate how people see us, value us, and respond to us, true natural beauty has to do with good health, not technique with a make-up brush. When you admire the dazzling smile of that Revlon model, will you buy the lipstick - or seek the restorative dentistry that perfected the smile? Dentistry thee smile to health and symmetry. Cosmetics? Sure. But call on cosmetic dentistry for a beautiful smile that won't wash off.
Maybe you've thought about cosmetic dental work - but felt a little vain to consider it.
Or the appearance of your teeth never bothered you much, because your dental health is pretty good.
But fixing a small functional problem can sometimes yield wonderful, unanticipated dividends. Mary, for instance, had a few dental imperfections most of us could live with. But she was hampered from time to time by a lispy "s" sound.
Mary had gapped teeth, a diastema, which caused a slight but noticeable speech defect. She also showed evidence of life in the fast lane, too: teeth worn down, probably from nervous clenching of the jaw muscles or grinding teeth.
In Mary's case - and every case is different - porcelain veneers saved the day. Her cosmetic dentist began with a functional and esthetic evaluation to determine what shape and contour would best solve Mary's diastema problem. More tooth length was proposed, to give her a more youthful, proportioned appearance, too.
Impressions were taken, and sent off to the lab for fabrication. On the next visit, her teeth were cleaned and etched chemically, the dental veneers were cemented into place, and "cured" with a special light to seal them.
Mary's speech problem evaporated. Dentistry fixed that. But cosmetic dentistry did more than perfect her speech.
WHEN FUNCTION = BEAUTYLike an acrylic fingernail, veneers cover the front surface of the teeth. Porcelain dental veneers are strong and, by the way, look great.
As an architect of more that 60 years, I have learned that only the beautiful is practical. And universally, anything that is truly practical, functional, and useful is beautiful.
-Frank Lloyd Wright

The stimulus is pouring $90 billion into clean energy, reinventing the way America is powered and fueled; it includes unprecedented investments in renewables, efficiency, electric cars, a smarter grid, cleaner coal, and more. It's carrying health care into the digital era. Its Race to the Top initiative may be the boldest education reform in U.S. history. It produced the biggest middle-class tax cuts in a generation, a broadband initiative reminiscent of rural electrification, and an overhaul of the New Deal's unemployment insurance system. It's revamping the way government addresses homelessness, fixes infrastructure, and spends money.
Grunwald reveals how Republicans have obscured these achievements through obstruction and distortion. The stimulus launched a genuine national comeback. It also saved millions of jobs, while creating legacies that could rival the Hoover Dam: the world's largest wind farm, a new U.S. battery industry, a new high-speed rail network, the world's highest-speed Internet network.
Its main legacy, like the New Deal's, will be change.""
