Tuesday Morning Links!
* Marquette University, with a generous grant from the Templeton Religion Trust, is pleased to announce a request for proposals on the topics of "The Self, Motivation, and Virtue," Approximately ten research proposals at $190,000 each will be funded through this initiative. The grant competition has four primary aims…
* If you're going to MLA and are a graduate student or contingent faculty member, don't forget to apply for travel support.
* We are ruled by maniacs: West Virginia Plans To Frack Beneath Ohio River, Which Supplies Drinking Water To Millions.
* The Great Death: Earth lost 50% of its wildlife in the past 40 years, says WWF.
* California's Ongoing Drought Linked To Climate Change.
* Perhaps the job market news isn't so bad, and graduates are right to think college mostly worked for them. Arum and Roksa then turn to the high share of young graduates still living with their parents. At 40 percent, it's twice the rate of the 1960s. Another third of recent graduates live with friends, and 70 percent of young graduates get some money from their families — as do 75 percent of all 18-25 year olds. But again, is this really the fault of college? Further, how do we know that these living situations are bad? Are these graduates really adrift, or are they showing self-discipline by cutting expenses in a bad economy? There is one clear tie to college: we know that this generation is servicing students debt of a size that their parents can barely imagine, and that this may be dampening home buying. We also know that the reigning "new economy business model" promises them neither job security nor stable income growth. So rather than missing the "markers of adulthood," these cautious at-home students are more likely hitting them. They are the markers of Great Recession adulthood — house sharing, public transportation, deferred buying, and reliance on family.
* The Score: Why Prisons Thrive Even When Budgets Shrink.
* Late last year I started a series called "The Thick Blue Line," based on documented, widespread, and ongoing police impunity in the United States. At the end of each month (here are the first, second, and third installments) I compiled national "no charges against police officer" cases verbatim from reported incidents.
* How to read Star Wars, by way of David Fincher: I always thought of Star Wars as the story of two slaves [C-3PO and R2-D2] who go from owner to owner, witnessing their masters' folly, the ultimate folly of man… I thought it was an interesting idea in the first two, but it's kind of gone by Return Of The Jedi.
* The sad decline of Barack Obama, American exceptionalism edition.
* Paranoia and the Zimmermans.
* Neoliberalism has brought out the worst in us.
* German universities are now tuition-free again. "Only the super-rich benefit from the fees and loans system, in which 17-year-olds must sign up for massive debts in adulthood."
* Student Organizing, Student Government, and the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
* UMass police helped keep student's addiction secret. Crazy story.
* The Hidden Costs of E-books at University Libraries. I hate this trend.
* Steven Salaita: U. of I. destroyed my career.
* BREAKING: the banks regulate the regulators, not the other way around.
* BREAKING: North Carolina Governor Doubts Value of Some Degrees.
* DC Comics still aggressively making it impossible to support anything they do.
* 'Time-Outs' Are Hurting Your Child. Well, that was the last thing that wasn't.
* The CIA Still Redacts How Much It Paid for PCs in 1987.
* Teachers are among the most dedicated, passionate and hardworking professionals – a few of the qualities that make the best Uber partner drivers.
* Movie quotes by way of iOS 8.
* Confessions of a former internet troll. It used to be about the art, apparently.
* Data in everything: Statistician Creates Model To Predict What's Next In Game Of Thrones.
* And Jon Hamm will be on the Black Mirror Christmas special, which is the best news I've heard in years.
Friday: Steven Salaita Link Roundup and More
* Shit and Curses, and Other Updates on the Steven Salaita Affair. Return of the blacklist? Cowardice and censorship at the University of Illinois. Academic Freedom, Except When I Disagree. Bérubé on Salaita. The national AAUP's statement. Cary Nelson, the AAUP, and the privilege of bestowing academic freedom. Cary Nelson's Case. John K. Wilson. The definition of academic freedom, for many, does not accommodate dissent. The University of Illinois Is Not an Island. A Love Letter to Twitter. A New Birth of Academic Freedom.
* One of the ironies of college is that the impossibility of reading your way out of the modern predicament is something you learn about, as a student, by reading. Part of the value of a humanistic education has to do with a consciousness of, and a familiarity with, the limits that you'll spend the rest of your life talking about and pushing against. So it's probably natural for college students to be a little ironic, a little unsettled. It's time, meanwhile, to admit that the college years aren't for figuring out some improvised "sense of purpose." They're more like a period of acclimatization—a time when realizations can dawn. If you're feeling uneasy about life, then you're doing the reading.
* Matthew Cheney has a call to read Survivor over Octavia Butler's objections, inspired in part by my recent series at LARoB.
* Princeton Considers End to Limit on Number of As.
* The University of Colorado is moving to fire a tenured faculty member after the Boulder campus paid $825,000 this week to settle a graduate student's allegations that the philosophy professor retaliated against her for reporting she was sexually assault by a fellow student.
* Watch NJ cop go rogue: Since Obama 'doesn't follow Constitution, we don't have to.'
* Forcing Kids To Stick To Gender Roles Can Actually Be Harmful To Their Health.
* Is Student Debt Harmful to Your Health? Student debt correlated with nagging sense that life is pointless.
* Oh, there's your problem, your culture produces monsters: Telling white people the criminal justice system is racist makes them like it more.
* On not being cynical enough: LeBron James just leapt from one carefully constructed superteam to another. Of course I'm talking about you; I was always cynical about this. #cynicprivilege
* The painting refers to the old custom of punishing insubordinates by shoving them off a ship and onto an island. But these days, you can also view "Marooned" as a curiously precise description of the Delaware Art Museum. It, too, has been ostracized by its peers. In June, it was formally sanctioned by the Association of Art Museum Directors, which has asked its members not to lend artwork to Delaware or assist with its exhibitions.
* An interview on death and mourning with Thomas Laqueur, from the great TNI issue on mourning I was hyping the other day.
* When stock photography modeling goes wrong.
* Endless Adjunct: The Game! From @readywriting.
* "Ole Miss Struggles to Be a New Miss." On trying to rebrand.
* The Wonder Years: An Oral History.
* I guess in Obama's America it's not always legal to randomly murder people for no reason.
Run Cruel optimism, Liz, run cruel optimism!
* "Punk archaeologists" explain why they dug out the Atari landfill. I should have been a punk archaeologist.
* Christina Hendrick's time-travel-centered Mad Men spinoff looks pretty promising. The Mary Poppins one is good too.
* Lost in Lost in La Mancha: Terry Gilliam trying to make Don Quixote again, which is now about trying to make Don Quixote.
* There's only one thing Disney/Marvel loves more than money, and that's not making inclusive superhero movies.
* Perhaps most importantly to everyone outside of Broadway, this production basically puts the kibosh on any new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm—at least until it's over. David said he "hadn't ruled out" doing more Curb, but that he's "not going to mentally do that to myself right now." Also, if he did do another season, "this play would push that schedule back." So we'd say that if he did do a ninth season, it could be about how Larry David starring in a Broadway show ends up irritating everyone else. But of course, he already did that.
* Everything old is new again: Straczynski bringing sci-fi classic Babylon 5 back to life with movie reboot in 2016. NBC has great idea for family show starring Bill Cosby.
* Slot-machine science: How casinos get you to spend more money. A Good Way to Wreck a Local Economy: Build Casinos.
* The arc of history is long, but bends towards justice: Cops no longer desire photo of teenager's erection.
* Over the cliff: Almost 20 percent of people near retirement age have no retirement savings.
* The headline reads, "Experts Split If Robots Will Usurp Human Workers By 2025."
* Google Saved by the Bell Truth. Wake up sheeple.
* My god. The bureaucracy works.
* And SMBC presents: The Darwinist!
Choose Between a Three-Month "All You Can Learn" Approach for $2,250 or an "Assessment Only" a La Carte Option
Students in the new programs will be able to choose between a three-month "all you can learn" approach for $2,250 or an "assessment only" a la carte option where they pay for specific competency exams to progress through a degree program.
UW-Milwaukee has Higher Learning Commission approval to offer the following flexible degrees: a bachelor's in nursing, a bachelor's in diagnostic imaging, a bachelor's in information science and technology, and a certificate in professional and technical communication. UWM plans to add another program, a master's in nursing, in fall 2014.
UW System's Flexible Option program gets $1.2 million grant from a foundation hooked up with ALEC. What could go wrong?
From the archives: Is the UW System Selling its Birthright for a Mess of Pottage? I've said this before, but the next step has got to be potential-based degrees. If we know from science that you could get the degree, do we really have to go through all the rigamarole of your actually getting it? Just take this IQ test instead.
Wednesday Deux
* CFP: Queerness and Games at UC Berkeley.
* AMC passed on Red Mars, but then greenlights this? Those idiots.
* Minimum Wage Machine (Work in Progress).
The minimum wage machine allows anybody to work for minimum wage. Turning the crank will yield one penny every 4.97 seconds, for $7.25 an hour (NY state minimum wage). If the participant stops turning the crank, they stop receiving money.
* Gabrielle Giffords op-ed on the Senate's minority-rules rejection of gun control.
* What started out as a case about whether corporations could be held accountable in U.S. courts for human rights violations abroad now turned into a case about whether anyone can be held accountable. And on Wednesday, a five-justice majority of the U.S. Supreme Court held that the answer is, mostly, no.
* Mellon Foundation awards grant to develop new careers for humanities Ph.D.s. At the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
* Disney Says New 'Star Wars' Films Will Open Every Summer Starting in 2015. The internet has spoken: put Patton Oswalt in charge.

I have always loved the color combination of black and camel. It reminds me of chocolate and caramel! I loved the sheer color blocked detail in the back of this top. I also added the leopard print belt and clutch for a pop of pattern!

However, in her reaction, the Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, on her Twitter page, stated that the coalition formed against Buhari is full of "partakers and defenders of corruption".
She wrote, "Coalition of Corruption = Corruption United People's Party(CUPP)
"The CUPP of corruption is now full with the coming together of disgruntled partakers/defenders of corruption. There's hardly anyone of them who has no question mark on his head.
"Nigerians have gone past the era of following corrupt leaders. Congratulations Buhari."

About Me

A TRIP TO PARADISE OF BOTANISTS- SIKKIM Have you ever imagined walking through the snowfall and never be tired of it? Have you ever fallen in love with the cold and the snow that covers the beautiful landscape? Have you ever seen so many colours and the prettiest of flowers, all in the same place? Or have you ever wanted to come out at night to eat ice creams with your girlfriends without the feeling of insecurity to haunt you? Make it a dream come true by visiting the attractively mesmerizing hill station-Sikkim-which will leave you awestruck with its magnificent beauty and would soothe your eyes as you surrender yourself to its spellbinding greenery! In a world of mental and physical pressure, Sikkim could be an appropriately suitable escape from the pollution of cities and judging eyes of your neighbours or colleagues and family members. Sikkim is a North Eastern state of India, bordered by Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan. It is also known as a "brother" among the "seven sisters" of North East India (Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Meghalaya- yet other places which would leave you breathless). The state has a dramatic landscape which ranges from India's highest mountain, Kangchenjunga (8,586 m) to the landscape of Yumthang Valley with its beautiful spring flowers. For nature lovers, Sikkim is a must-to-visit place as it is home to glaciers, alpine meadows and thousands of varieties of wildflowers. The state has a rich history of kings and lords and monarchs ruling over it. It also has a history of freedom fighters and revolutionists fighting for the rights and justice of the state and its people. This is one place which many tourists like to visit for some peace and to spend some quality time to with their loved one. One such plan was made by my family in the winter of 2014. It was a four day trip with a family of my father's friend. This trip was one of the best things that happened to me in the fall of 2014. The place is etched in my heart and mind and will always remind me of the splendid journey I had. Sikkim is not just a place, it is a feeling! Go climb the mountains, ride the Yak through the snowy paths and explore its mouth-watering dishes! Here are some of the best places you can visit in Sikkim and Gangtok (Directly from my travel journal to your laptop screens)- Day 1- The excitement of "changing landscape"! We took a train from Tinsukia (in Assam, since I am from Assam) to New Jalpaiguri Station (NJP) in West Bengal (which took us two days and one night). From there we went towards Sikkim. My father's friend, who stays in Sikkim, came to pick us up from the train station. It took us around 5 hours to reach our booked destination. On our way we stopped at a Dhaba to have lunch (the name of which I don't remember now, but all I could remember is that there was this cute dog who kept on coming towards me and sticking closer to my legs). I remember how exciting it was when we kept moving upwards towards Sikkim. It was a change from plains to mountains. The tress became denser and greener, the roads became narrow and we were more frequently encountered by the Teesta River which became distinctively clear as we went higher. On reaching Sikkim we went to Mahatma Gandhi Marg (MG Marg) which is a Gangtok tourism road. This area is free of litter, smoke and vehicles, and is a pedestrian zone only. Locals would immediately ask you to stop smoking if they find your smoking in this area. In the evening we took a local tour of M.G. Marg and later had dinner at on the rooftop of the hotel we were staying at, called, Hotel Golden Pagoda. They have a beautiful Dinner hall. From the rooftops one could see the mountains and little lights shining from them. The best time to visit MG Marg is in December when the "Gangtok Annual Food and Culture Festival" takes place (when many different food stalls are set up at the Titanic Park in MG Marg). While there are various restaurants and cafes in this road, some of them are very well popular among the tourist. They include: PUB25- A popular pub which plays some truly amazing music. The service is very well as its staffs are very attentive. You can also entertain yourself by reading the funny anecdotes about beer and drinking attached to the walls of the restaurant. Baker's Cafe- They serves some yummy pastries, patties, momos and other snack items. Do not forget to try its coffee! Golden Dragon- It has a lovely dinning environment and spectacular market view. We went there for breakfast, but the food was so good that we went back for lunch and dinner. Chopsticks- It has a scene of a family restaurant. The service is welcoming and warm. It's a very good place for a proper family dinner. Allen's Kitchen-If you want to listen to some lovely music with some delicious food on your table, than you should visit Allen's Kitchen in MG Marg. This restaurant provides a wide variety of food. Also, the owner, himself, takes care of customers so personally. DAY 2- EXPLORING THE LOCAL BEAUTY The next day after a warm breakfast we decided to go for a local tour of the area. We heard a lot about Rumtek Monastery in Gangtok and so we made sure it is the first place we visit in Sikkim. We booked a cab from MG Marg to Rumtek Monastery, which took us around 30 minutes. Rumtek Monastery, also known as Dharmachakra Centre, is a Tibetian Buddhist temple. Once you are at the base gate of the monastery you realise that it is true of all the facts told about it. From the base gate it requires an uphill walk (about 15 minutes) to reach to the main monastery. This monastery is one of the largest monasteries in Sikkim and has a unique infrastructure, which resembles the infrastructure of the original one in Tibet. This monastery has one of the finest architectures in the world. Once you visit this place, you get a sense of peace about yourself as you just let the silence surround you. Also, there are vantage points from where you get to see some beautiful sites of the whole Gangtok! After a two hours stay in Rumtek monastery, we came down to the town and I had thupka(a local soup dish) for lunch. We toured around MG Marg the whole evening as it is a very convenient place for evening walk and shopping. The place is very clean and is a paved street with shops lining both the sides. There are benches fixed throughout the road where you can sit down and talk when you are tired of walking. If you get hungry, there are ample of options you can rely upon. The whole street is lined with restaurants, bars and cafe. In the evening, we went for some shopping and ate some amazing local street foods (the names of which I don't remember). After a long day we came to our hotel rooms and freshen up for one-amazing-night. At around 8pm we all got dressed up for dinner and went to Allen's Kitchen where we were served some amazing starters, beverages and sweet dishes. DAY 3- A TOUR TO 3,753 METRES HEIGHT The next day we backpacked for Lake Tsomgo also known as Changu Lake which is located at an elevation of 3,753 metre. The Lake is associated with many myths and legends and is referred to it by the Sikkimese as "sacred". The Lake is covered with snow in winters. On our way to the lake, there was an instant change in the scenes and temperature. Soon we realised that the streets were covered with snow and we were driving through the clouds! We stopped our cars for a while and clicked some photos and experienced the much awaited snow fall. The landscape was covered with snow, even the houses and shops (though it was very sparsely populated). The place had a beauty of its own. The cold was freezing but satisfying. I still remember a story that my father told us which still fascinates me. It goes something like: A long time ago the mountains had wings and would fly away to anywhere they wanted and would settle there. The people went through a lot of trouble for this behaviour of the mountains. They complained to Lord Vishnu, the regulator of the Universe. Lord Vishu decided to cut off the wings of the mountains so that they can settle in one place. Though today the mountains cannot fly, but the love of the mountain and its wings was eternal. Therefore, the cut- out wings took the form of clouds and still hovers near the mountains. After playing for a while in the snow we started off to descend from the mountains. On our way back we stopped at a shop where we ate hot soup and tea. It was the best combination in the cold weather. On our way back we stopped at Gonjang Monastery which is as beautiful as a mystery! I would strongly recommend a visit to this monastery and pray for the good will of one's loved ones. DAY 4- LACHUNG, LACHEN AND YUMTHANG VALLEY Most part of our Day 4 was in the villages of Lachung, Lachen and Yumthang Valley. Visiting these villages is a onetime experience. There was thick snow in the mountains and we spend much time playing in the snow. From there we made our way to the "zero point" where we got a spectacular view! Standing in this point one can understand about "God's creation". This is a place where you are so close to nature and you get a sense of belonging and acceptance that you wish to stay a little longer and than a little more. But then your father calls you back to the car because it's already time for you to leave, and as you leave you become so emotional because you know you are going to miss this place. All the way back to hotel all I can think about how much I was going to miss this place, and it was indeed a magical experience. Thus the last day of the trip came to an end. Soon I found myself backpacking to leave for my home. But Alas! That one trip left me with so much of emotional attachment with the place and with such peace and tranquillity in my mind! It is true that "Wonders do come in small packages!" and thus to witness this you must visit the second smallest State in India-Sikkim- and let its prismatic beauty and mesmeric charm work wonders with you! Here I have attached some photos of my trip to Sikkim: Way to Tsomgo Lake Its beautiful scenery (way to Lachung) Wearing Sikkim's traditional dress known as "The Kho" June is a wonderful time to be in Sikkim. While most of your trip should move as per plan, you should always be prepared for surprises. For more info join traveller club and find your trip partner on eChutti.

Whoops! Did Michael Roberts and Fred Moseley just revise Marx?
by Jehu
In this morning's compare and contrast, we look at two different formulations of the category, socially necessary labor time, in Roberts' essay, Consistent, realistic, verifiable; his review of a new book on labor theory by Fred Moseley:
Formulation 1: "Marxist value theory is based on the view that commodities are priced in the market according to the labour time expended on them."
Formulation 2: "The market decides whether certain amounts of labour time expended on producing particular commodities are 'socially necessary'."
In labor theory of value, socially necessary labor time, of course, is the labor time required for production of a commodity, its value. However, in Roberts' summary of the argument made by Fred Moseley SNLT is first described as a quantity of labor existing before exchange. Then it is later described by Roberts as a quantity of labor determined by exchange — by "the market".
So which is it, Mr. Roberts? Is socially necessary labor time determined by production or exchange? There is no rush on this, Mr. Roberts. I am sure the proletarian revolution can wait patiently while you theoreticians figure this out.
However, I do want to point out that the first formulation suggests SNLT is determined in production and cannot be altered by any changes in "market demand". While the second formulation suggests changes in "demand" in the market, can increase or decrease SNLT. The first formulation suggests no amount of Keynesian countercyclical deficit spending can ever change the quantity of value produced.While the second formulation suggests the fascist state can increase SNLT by increasing deficit spending during depressions, as Keynes argued. The first formulation suggests changes in the quantity of money cannot increase the value of capital in circulation, while the second formulation says it can.
So, Mr. Roberts, what determines the duration of socially necessary labor time? The market? Or production?
(Here is the thing: For Moseley, both formulations have to be right; otherwise he could not argue, (as Roberts puts it) "The Marxist theory of value and his analysis of the laws of motion of capitalism is a macro-monetary theory." This is a point to which I will return in a later post.)
Roberts, following Moseley (he says), argues capital begins and ends with money, so that the total quantity of money in circulation always equals the total value. But this is a tautological equality, since it must be true by definition, in the same way GDP = C + I + (X − M) + G. in bourgeois economics. The sum of all prices must equal the sum of all values and the sum of all profits must equal the sum of all surplus value.
What makes it a tautological statement is that it is true in year one and also true in year two; even if the currency depreciated in the interval, so that one dollar in year two now buys what 25 cents bought in year one. No matter how much inflation occurs, the sum of prices will always equal the sum of values in each year — by definition.
To put this another way, to say each of the three glasses in the picture below are full in no way tells us how much beer they each contain.
Two equal sums of prices will each equal the sums of values contained in them, but the sums of values may be unequal. At the same time, equal sums of value may be expressed in unequal sums of money prices.
This is always the case when the currency is deliberately devalued as was done by Roosevelt in 1933. In 1932 one troy ounce of gold was represented by 20.67 paper dollars; but in 1933 that same ounce was represented by 35 paper dollars. The quantity of gold did not change, but the "price" necessary to equal this quantity of gold increased.
While, by definition, the sum of prices will always equal the sum of values, Roberts and Moseley needed to demonstrate something else: namely, that unequal sum of prices will always represent proportionally unequal sums of values. This, of course, is necessary to demonstrate that we are dealing with a real relation between prices and values and not simply a tautology.
For instance, between 1932 and 1934 official US GDP rose from $58.7 billion to $66 billion. How would we know if this was because of a real increase in the value of GDP or simply an artifact of the devaluation of the currency? The only way to tell is to include the devaluation of the US dollar against gold to find out. After May 1933, Roosevelt devalued the US dollar so that it represented 40% less gold than before devaluation. If we adjust for this devaluation in the official statistics on gross domestic product, GDP did not rise between 1933 and 1934, but fell from $58.7 billion in 1932 to $39.6 billion in 1934 — a whopping 33% fall in gross domestic product.
Comparing US GDP adjusted for devaluation to the official GDP data provided by the fascist state gives us this chart:
If I am correct in my calculation, a larger sum of prices represented a smaller sum of values.
Of course, by definition, in each year the sum of prices equaled the sum of values. What changed is not this tautological equality, but the real relation between values and prices. Roosevelt was now buying gold at a 40% markup — an astonishing windfall for the holders of gold, much like the Bernanke Federal Reserve quantitative easing program.
The question we have to ask is whether Roosevelt's decision to pay a 40% premium on gold in 1933 increased the socially necessary labor time required for the production of a troy ounce of gold? According to one formulation offered by Roberts, the answer is "No". But his other formulation suggests the answer is "Yes". If the socially necessary labor time of a commodity is determined by production, devaluation of the currency had no impact at all. If the socially necessary labor time is determined in the market, Roosevelt's decision to pay 40% premium on gold altered gold's SNLT.

The latest high-profile Democrat to announce his 2020 presidential bid has joined all other major Democratic candidates' radical support for abortion-till-birth.
On Monday, failed Senate candidate Robert "Beto" O'Rourke endorsed the murder of unborn babies in the womb during the third trimester of pregnancy, which is from 28 weeks until birth, because he "trusts" women.
"Are you for third-trimester abortions? Are you going to protect the lives of third-trimester babies?" asked a female Cleveland campaign event attendee.
"Because, you know, there's really not a medical necessity for (late-term) abortion — it's not a medical emergency procedure — because typically third-trimester abortions take up to three days to have. So, in that sense, if there was an emergency, the doctors would just do a [caesarian]-section, and you don't have to kill the baby in that essence," she explained. "So, are you for or against third-trimester abortions?"
The questioner's synopsis of the late-term abortions not ever being a medical necessity has been backed up by medical professionals, including former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino.
"The question is about abortion and reproductive rights. And, my answer to you is, that should be a decision the woman makes. I trust her," answered O'Rourke, sticking to the pro-abortion talking points. "So that's my answer."
The crowd broke out in rabid applause for the Democrat's answer. But most of the country is not on board with such a radical abortion position. NPR reported in June that public support for abortion in the third trimester is at only 13%, per Gallup polling:
Gallup finds that 60 percent of Americans believe abortion generally should be legal during the first three months of pregnancy, known as the first trimester. That support drops by more than half, to 28 percent, once a pregnancy reaches the second trimester; it falls to 13 percent in the third trimester, at which point the fetus is often viable with medical support.
O'Rourke has tried his best to avoid specifics with regard to hot-button issues like abortion, but as noted by Fox News, the Democrat "co-sponsored the Women's Health Protection Act when he was a Texas congressman in 2017 — a bill that would have lifted most state restrictions on abortion, including waiting periods."
Though the media-beloved candidate has taken about as radical a position as one can take with regard to the murder of the unborn, he's in lockstep with his fellow Democrats. Every other major Democrat candidate has backed abortion until the moment of birth, including Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
As noted by Fox News, all Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls in the Senate effectively went on record as pro-infanticide by voting down the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act proposed by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE). The bill would force doctors to treat born-alive infants from botched abortions with full medical care, instead of letting them die.
In the same perspective, sitting Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia recently endorsed infanticide during a radio interview in January. "When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of the mother, with the consent of physicians, more than one physician by the way, and it's done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus which is non-viable," said Northam. "So in this particular example, if the mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if this is what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physician and the mother."

Nusa Penida Island becomes one of the outermost islands of the province of Bali, for access to the island is the only one with sea travel or air transport by helicopter, of course sea travel is the main choice, from the jetty Sanur by speed boat ride or fast boat intermittent 1 hour trip, or now there is a new dock from the beach Pesungkahan Klungkung with fast boat Caspla is closer to the island of Nusa Penida. The first place you might find is when set foot in the mainland of Nusa Penida is Toya Pakeh beach, other than as a tourist attraction in Nusa Penida as well as a speed boat dock, boat boat and small boats. Toya Pakeh beach tourist attraction, most frequented by tourists or residents outside the island, because a number of fast boat fleet or speed boat docked in this dock, in this area you can easily find transportation services such as motorbike rental or car rental, whether for purposes tour around the island or do activities of praying or Tirta Yatra, they already have the packages offered, such as tour packages visit the tourist attraction to be visited or temple for the purpose of praying which of course is located one lane or direction. Toya Pakeh Beach also serves as a transit port where a number of fast boat docks and canoe boats only, but the sea water is clear and the underwater beauty of coral reefs and fish residents of this area is diverse, so the waters of Toya Pakeh is indeed ideal for marine tourism such as diving and also snorkeling. The beach with golden white sand is ideal also to relax while enjoying the natural scenery of the sea. Many beautiful places are owned by the Bali area, so it becomes a complement to the list of attractions in Bali. Although located on the other side of the island, access to the location is quite easy, especially after enjoying the beauty of Toya Pakeh series of tourist attractions you can visit from here like Crystal Bay, Pasih Uug, Andus Beach, Kelingking Beach and Atuh also located on the east side of the island. Coastal attractions Toya Pakeh offers a number of natural beauty underwater, even for beginner diver with a depth of 6 meters has been able to find a number of interesting coral reef formation, whether soft or hard, because the water is clear visibility level is quite high, a number of fish are usually found by divers are sweetlips, riggerfish, fusiliers, trevally, jack fish, banner fish, scorpionfish, porcupine, moray eels, puffers, trumpetfish, rays, including turtles, even if you are lucky to see the presence of mola-mola which is a prima here. Certainly in certain depths you can see more varied habitats. Toya Pakeh waters are flooded with currents coming from the Nusa Ceningan channel, so they carry colorful fish, also carrying nutrients to form beautiful coral reefs. To do diving tours in this area of course you must be accompanied by a guide or a local instructor, because the current can sometimes change, so that the guide can direct the best spot where the current is hard or find a safe place to stop, with a depth of 10 to 30 meters below the surface sea then divers can more leverage enjoy the beauty under the sea Toya Pakeh, professional divers more advised. If you do not go diving, you can still do snorkeling activities, because the water is clear then you can still see the underwater beauty. Fish Mola-mola become one of the primadona fish in this region can reach 2 meters in length, the presence of fish is usually easier found in July and August. Vacation in Toya Pakeh is fun, in addition to the underwater natural beauty, natural scenery is very charming beaches. The area also has a number of complete tourism supporters, such as a number of lodging and tourist facilities. Doing diving activities is a favorite thing, but remember not to damage the surrounding environment, such as unnecessary doodles ever done by foreign tourists in the region. In Toya Pakeh waters area is also used as a local cruise destination that is Quicksilver Cruise which departs from Tanjung Benoa Marina Bay every day. Quicksilver Cruise has a floating dock (pontoon) which is destined to do watersport activities such as waterslide, banana boat, snorkeling and semi submarine boat. Furthermore, local cruise ship participants to conduct village tour in Toya Pakeh village such as watching the activities of seaweed farmers and to turtle breeding. How to visit this place is the easiest of mainland Bali, because after a speed boat ride or fast boat from Sanur, Padang Bai or Pesinggahan, you no longer need land transportation, because the ship will dock at this dock, unless the speed boat is anchored in the other dock. From this area you can continue the next walk with more ease. For advice only, if your visit time is short, take the route towards West towards pasih Uug because many tourist attractions close from the place. If there is still time your next tour agenda can go to Atuh beach located on the East side.

Yamaha introduces a new, superior approach to analogue amplifier design.
It's full floating and balanced circuit design ensure, for the first time,that the full potential of analogue amplification may be realeased.
Natural Sound Stereo Amplifier
Full Floating and Balanced Circuit Design Achieves for the First Time the Full Potential of Analogue Amplification
An entirely new floating and balanced power amp that, by using power transistors with the same polarity that are not complementary, achieves complete symmetry of pullable operation at the output stage and permits full balanced transmission (amplification) from the input jack to just before the speaker jack, a capability that has long been the dream of audiophiles.
Full-Stage Balanced Signal Transmission
The A-S2100 achieves fully balanced signal transmission from input to output (balanced design refers to the use of two signal conductors that have equal impedances to ground). Balanced transmission is capable of canceling noise produced internally and externally, and so is considered to be an ideal amplification method, eliminating the sound quality degradation caused by noise.
Floating Balanced Power Amp
The floating balanced power amp configuration is completely different from the pure complementary circuit design that has been the mainstream of Hi-Fi amps for nearly 40 years. It adopts an output element having identical polarity on the plus and minus sides of the output stage, with both sides having their own power supply and feedback, thereby achieving total symmetry of pullable operation at the output stage. The power supply unit has four floating elements (no restrictive grounding connections), two for each channel, so plus and minus are completely symmetrical.

What a title. right?
Not sure if a long title like this will get a lot of people's attention, but it addresses clearly what today's content is focused on.
That focus of course, is when you begin calling your network marketing prospects, and it begins to seem that no one is answering their phone.
How do we get in touch with the most possible prospects?
Well today I will share with you how I am able to reach most of my prospects, and those who opt-in to my primary business.
So let's take a look into how to increase the amount of prospects you contact, when most won't answer the phone when you call.
It's Common In Network Marketing
First thing to understand, if you are experiencing this issue, it's normal.
It's common to have a hard time getting live answers when you call.
This is true for network marketing, and all types of business.
Since caller I.D was created, this became an issue. Before caller I.D, you only knew who was calling by picking it up.
So don't let this beat you down or think it's just you, because it's just how things go today.
How The Prospect Was GeneratedÂ
Here is another point I want to make before getting into the actual goods.
You will find that prospects behave differently, according to how they were generated.
I have leads that come in that get a high rate of call backs, while others get less.
An example would be a person who opted-in to your primary business, because they had an interest in an ad they seen. The other is a cold lead you simply reached out to. The one who had a particular interest is most likely to call back to find out more, versus the one who may not even be alive any longer.
The First Step
When I begin my dial sessions, and I reach out to the prospects I have for the day, I always work them all through a series of steps.
A series of steps that keep me busy talking to people for hours.
So I am breaking it down into the steps I would take, and why you should practice them.
The first step usually leaves us moving to step 2, but in some cases we get an answer.
These are the best network marketing prospects, because we have the ability to get an idea if the prospect is worth moving forward with, or letting go.
Make sure your script is good and is in line with how the prospect was generated. For example, I have a different opening script for craigslist leads and solo ad leads.
The Second Step
No answer?
No problem.
The next thing we need to do is of course, leave a voice mail.
But we need to leave a good, scripted voice mail that sounds real, and increases the prospect's interest.
If we leave a voice mail that sounds like we are new to leaving voice mails, we may not get many call backs. This is the entire reason for leaving the voice mail, to get a call back.
Make sure you have your voice mail targeted to how the lead was generated, and raise curiosity in it. The more curious the prospect is, the more likely they are to call back.
NOTE: In some voice mail, you get a name. If it matches the lead's name, you know you have correct info. Some cases the prospect's name is a nickname of the real name. If this happens, leave the name in the voice mail and other steps according to the name in the voice mail. An example would be a prospect I called yesterday with the name Andrew on the contact manager, but called himself "Andy" in the voice mail. I will call him Andy in all my contact attempts.
The Third Step
In this step, we get on average the most responses.
However, many people still do not use or practice this step.
That is of course, sending a text message.
Naturally, you can't text a landline phone. So we need to know the difference between a cell phone, and a landline when we get their voice mail.
Most will be cell phones in this age, but a few will be landlines.
If you get a cell phone, then after you leave the voice mail, you can use a scripted, and template text message and send it out.
Doing this, will get you the most replies back on average.
The Fourth Step
If you generated the leads you are reaching out to, you most likely have an email address.
Now, we send an email to them if we have not heard back yet from them.
Sending the email to the address they left can get a few replies back.
But most of all, it can also tell us if the prospect faked the email when they opted-in.
If we get a bounced email notification, we can almost be sure that the number they left (if one was left) could also be fake.
In that case, make a note of it, and move on.
The Fifth Step
Well since we have an email, we can take a shot in the dark in the fifth step.
That is, a Facebook search.
By placing their name in the Facebook search, sometimes we get their Facebook profile to pull up.
Most cases, this will not happen. But in some it does.
If you are in need of getting in touch with a prospect, you always have this option.
I have, and will most likely, use it again.
But I do not always use it. Most of the time, on self generated leads, I have either got fake info or in touch with them before the day's end.
But, sometimes, with a specific contact manager I have, use the Facebook option.
If you find them on Facebook, you can send a friend request, or try messaging them. From time to time, you get in touch with the prospect.
This option works best when the contact information you have is old, and the lead is cold lead.
No Luck, What Now?
If you went through all 5 steps, or at least the first 4, and was unable to get in touch with the prospect, you simply try again the following day.
Keep in mind, this begins to build up more and more people to contact.
If you are like myself, and generate leads everyday, at times over 100, there is a lot of people to contact.
I would suggest running through the steps again up to 3 times. If you are loaded with prospects, once a day for 3 days is all the time you will have.
But if you have few prospects, it wouldn't hurt to try a couple more times, before sending the final message.
The Final Message
If you were unable to reach a prospect in a couple attempts, over a couple of days, then you can always try the final attempt.
This can pull in another small amount of prospects, increasing your amount contacted.
On the final attempt, you will need to change your scripts up, and designing them so the prospect knows you will not be contacting them again by phone.
If they believe they are going to miss out on something if they don't get in touch with you, then they are more likely to call back on the third attempt, or final attempt.
If you have few prospects, or are new, you can stretch this out until whichever attempt you chose. Could be up to 10 times if you want.
But, like I mentioned above, when you have a lot of people to contact, you have to cut them off much faster in order to save time to get to everyone.
Let's Cut Some Corners
There is a lot of time that gets added up when calling prospects.
So in this little segment, I want to explain how you can cut corners, and save a massive amount of time.
Using software, I am able to pre-record my voice mails, and create templates for my text messages.
If the prospect does not answer, I push a button and move on. The software leaves the voice mail.
I then pull up the text I have recorded, and put their name in it, and send.
I have saved a minute on the voice mail, and a minute on the text message. This cuts 2 minutes on average out of time.
I use KIXIE as my dial session software. It plugs into Google Chrome, and is easy and fast to use.
I Don't Have Prospects đź™?Â
If you are in a position where you have no one, or have ran out of people to contact, then this segment is written to help you.
The best way at getting prospects, is through genealogy leads. Genealogy leads are people who have joined something before, so they are most likely to get involved, even if it's a cold call.
I use a system called the MLM Recruit On Demand system, and it will generate for me, genealogy leads inside of a contact manager.
I also, can generate my own with it.
Here are some details on why I recommend it:
- Generates leads for you, so you don't need to be an expert at lead generation
- Gives only genealogy leads, which I have had the most success with
- Offers contact manager, with notes
- Offers training vault to help with calls
- Has landing pages that generate leads well
- Offers leads for life, never paying again for them
- Has affiliate program (make extra money on side)
- Has automatic Facebook option to save time on step 5
- Contact Manager works with Kixie (if you use speed dialing software)
I could go on for a long time about this system. But you get the point already.
If you need prospects, this is the best way to go if you are not able to generate your own.

Overview On Increasing Your Contacted Prospects
So to wrap it all up, if you are having trouble getting your network marketing prospects to answer their phone, you may solve this problem in the following way:
#1 . How the lead is generated can determine the success rate on answers and returned calls. Using lower quality approaches will lessen the strength on your dialing efforts. Always work to find the most productive ways to increase call backs and answers.
#2. Some prospects will simply answer on the first attempt. This is the best way to sift through the prospects, and get a feel on their interest in what you are doing.
#3. Leave a scripted, and pre-recorded voice mail if possible, to raise curiosity and get call backs. If it sounds like you are wanting to sell something in your voice mail, you will not get many call backs period.
#4. Right after leaving the voice mail, send the prospect a text that also raises curiosity. This is the most effective way to get a reply back.
#5. Send email, find out if the prospect left correct information.
#6. See if their email is the same email they used to signup on Facebook. This is a last option when you have a wrong number or haven't heard back from a prospect.
#7. I will not call more then 3 times. I will run a prospect through the steps up to 3 times, and on the third, I leave the final message and text. This will get you a few more in the end to reach back to you. If you have few people and have the time to continue, it couldn't hurt to try a few more times.
#8. For saving time, use speed dialing software. This will turn an hour of work, into half the time.
Practice makes perfect when you are trying to increase the amount of prospects you speak to, when it seems no one is answering your calls. Just keep at it, follow the steps above, and you will get better and faster at prospecting with the telephone.

Your core business and production outcome is formed by your employees, the competencies, process equipment, layout, production methods etc.
If everything runs at an optimal level, you have a standard production situation and an outcome, which is the best possible you can achieve, with your present resources. However problems and challenges in the production will occur and each of those problems will create negative deviations from the optimal production level. If you manage to solve the problems your production will go back to running at an optimal level. The question that most of us ask is: "how do we improve this level"? The answer is straight forward:

The first time I was told that I'd be one of the participants of Moving Africa, the first feeling I could remember was elation. As someone who has dedicated a good part of his entire life to developing content that actually tries to add to the dialogue dedicated to not only changing the twisted view most, especially westerners, have towards the Motherland but also to share that said content with friends, there's nowhere I'd rather be than amongst a group of likeminded people dedicated perhaps to the same goals, although not exactly in those words.
And add Burkina Faso, the capital of African Cinema, as the venue for this meeting and you have the perfect benchmark for this intellectual intercourse, if you may. For me, Moving Africa, as a practical concept, represents the future of Africa. Africa will only make such commendable strides the day we the now generation will take the initiative to address, by way of proactive action, the issues that affect, not only us per se but also our contemporaries. Moving Africa represents such a forum where we can fine tune the necessary skills needed for us to be very effective.
My main goal has always been to help in creating platforms where the world can effectively learn and appreciate the dynamism of Malawi's arts and cultures. Sadly in a country like Malawi, we the youth are not exactly encouraged to be involved in tackling issues that affect them. Not that we don't want to but it's just maybe we lack adequate avenues where this can be achieved. It's my hope that the skills acquired at Moving Africa will be used to maximise my passion for sharing of information and progressive thinking.
My very close friend and mentor, Charles Shemu Joyah had the pleasure of visiting FESPACO when his film, of which I was a key part of, was nominated for one of the awards. Of course he came back with so many stories, all of them very fascinating. I'm really looking forward to experiencing some of those stories myself.
Of course, it's travel, new people, new architecture, new foods to try. I could go on forever!

Algeria government has set aside more than US$5 billion, which will be used in construction of ten new hospitals and rehabilitation of others that are in bad condition.
This is according to the Algerian minister for health, population and hospital reform Abdelmalek Boudiaf, who said that construction work had already started on the five hospitals, and the tenders for the other five will be announced before end of 2015.
Construction work will be undertaken by foreign companies because local companies lack the enough experience in implementing projects with international standards.
The companies that won the construction tender include United Kingdom International Hospital Group and a consortium between Rizzani de Eccher an Italian construction company and Ospedale San Raffaele hospital. Rizzani will construct a 700-bed Satawali municipal hospital in Algiers while United will build a 500-bed hospital in Tlemcen. They are expected to cooperate with the government in delivering the project by 2019.
The construction project will create job opportunities for professionals in the health sector such as nurses, doctors and healthcare assistants.
According to World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, Algeria's total expenditure on health per capita is US$439 and 5.3% of its gross domestic product is spent on health.

LONG BRANCH, N.J. – Mourners gathered Monday morning to remember the parents and their teenage daughter who were fatally shot on New Year's Eve along with a family friend.
Steven and Linda Kologi, along with 18-year-old Brittany Kologi and family friend Mary Ann Schulz, were allegedly killed minutes before midnight by the Kologis' 16-year-old son. His court hearings and the case is being kept confidential and he remains in jail.
Surviving family members, including the couple's sons Steve Jr. and Scott, as well as Linda's son from a previous relationship., Jonathan Ruiz, attended the funeral. Friends and family members hugged and cried outside the church as the three caskets were loaded into separate hearses and transported for a private burial.
"No words for what happened," Derek Warren, a friend who attended the funeral, said "It's just a tragic situation that no family or friend should ever have to go through."
A few men who showed up to the funeral said they played on a recreational softball team with Mr. Kologi for over 20 years. According to his obituary, Mr. Kologi, 42, was a life-long Long Branch resident and he played in several softball leagues. He was a truck driver for Clayton Concrete in Lakewood. He enjoyed skiing, body building and pool. But most of all, he is remembered as a devoted father.
"I couldn't ask for a better teammate or friend," another man who came to pay his respects said.
There is still no clear motive for why the Kologi's son would murder his family. Many of those who attended the funeral were young people, presumably Brittany's friends. The teen had just graduated from Long Branch High School in 2017 and she was halfway through her first year at Stockton University. Friends say she worked part-time in a local ice cream shop. According to her obituary, she was artistic and very close to her grandfather, Adrian Kologi, who survived the shooting.
The obituary of Linda Kologi, 42, says she was originally from Jersey City and North Bergen, but moved to Long Branch 25 years ago. She too, was described as a devoted parent whose life revolved around her family.
