A Fools challenge:
Feminism has had a positive impact in many aspects but it has reached a point where a fair evaluation of its progress and necessity. Is due.
Obviously this is going to run in contrast with the modern status quo and the majority of beliefs. So I don't expect to win your beliefs or opinions but rather judge my ability to proof is true and provide evidence when necessary. Part of the purpose of the argument is to open our minds to take a look at the beliefs we take for granted without thinking.
"It is fortunate for us in power that people don't think" Adolf Hitler
Don't get wrong woman I love woman. The world would be useless without them. But I believe that the feminist critique has not really allowed itself to be critiqued itself fairly.
"Of course I agree with basics such as equal education choices and voting, driving, etc."
So my claim is that Feminism has reached a point where it is now more harmful than good.
Send your best only; youmust have at least 2 years of university or 3 years of college minimum.
The assertion that feminism has reached a point that it causes more harm than good is false. There are many logical fallacies why this claim might be made, but they do not hold up under scrutiny. Much circumstantial and anecdotal evidence might be given to support such claims, but they beg the question as to whether feminism is the cause of the evidence.
The facts will show that equality of the sexes has not been reached in this country, let alone much of the rest of the world. That this lofty goal has not been met does not imply that feminism failed, nor does it imply that feminism succeeded but that this is as close as we can get to equality. The facts only show we have far to go; not as far as we once did, of course, but still miles to go before we sleep.
A June 2010 report by the U.S. Department of Labor(1) read that, in 2009, women who were full time salary or wage employees earned only 80% of their male counterparts. Though the gap is less than in 1979 (where they earned 62% of males), it can in no way be considered the best we can do.
Of course economic earnings are hardly the only factor to determine equality, and was not the prime cause that gave rise to the feminist movement. The prime cause, the overarching grievance of the movement, is oppression.
Feminism is grounded on the belief that women are oppressed or disadvantaged by comparison with men, and that their oppression is in some way illegitimate or unjustified. (2)
So it is not the equality of incomes that will signify the success of the feminist movement, but the eradication of all oppression against women. Oppression is the flipside of liberty, and liberty can be gaged by choices. Women today have many more choices than they did even twenty years ago, and so I concede that the yoke of oppression is lighter, but it has not been thrown off.
The roots of sexism go back thousands of years. The patriarchal societies in which women have sought to thrive can point to their holy books to give 'proof' of the subservient role that women are supposed to assume. Men who were comfortable with their role as breadwinners and protectors were taken aback by women who asserted their authority and power. Many men lost their identity as a direct result of women redefining theirs, but that is not a failure of the movement, it is a failure of the men.
Women struggled mightily to define themselves apart from their traditional roles, because it was those roles, in part, that were keeping them shackled to the past. Women shattered the notion that they could be only housewives or secretaries. Then they shattered the notion that there were any jobs that could only be fulfilled by males. It wasn't inferiority that made it difficult for women to break into the military, the police, the firefighters, et al. It was the stubborn refusal of the male mindset to change.
We came very close already to running a female for the Presidency, and I anticipate we will have a First Husband in my lifetime. But having women in such places of power does not mean that there is no more sexism any more than having a black President means there is no more racism. It means we have come far, but the race is not run just because you can see the finish line.
Though there is much good yet for the feminist movement to accomplish, my opponent will also argue that the movement does more harm than good. The hardships and failures that inevitably result from any evolutionary process in no way indicate that the struggle is not worth it. It is always difficult when someone in power has to give up some of that power. Many women, perhaps, have abused their newly claimed power but, considering the thousands of year of oppression, there is no indication that more harm is being caused than good.

Thanks I thought nobody would be in for it. My Greatest respects.
Sincerely, me
The Fool says: Money, money, why is it always about money? Is that all woman want, with their diamonds, cloth and jewellery. Get you grubby fingers out of here…Its mine... Its mine I tell you.. all mine. ;)
Me: I must say that was not even funny I apologize.
A Sophist report: A June 2010 report by the U.S. Department of Labor(1) read that, in 2009, women who were full time salary or wage employees earned only 80% of their male counterparts. The fool: the problem with this stat is that the sentence seems to give the impression that they are speaking within a framework of similar jobs.. as oppose the general set of Labour jobs. That is, it does not entail either or.
1. For let it be the case woman work in the same job and they get less pay.
A fool's job:
I have worked in construction, and when I entered I got less pay then everybody, why because I was new and less practiced. Even when I took on new duty I got more but the other guys would get paid more as well. Why? Because they were now more experience in these new duties. They did the job faster and with fewer mistakes. Eventually I read the top. But the others at the top still got more pay because they had been there longer and were still more experienced. And most companies only need so much people. I am black and the rest of the company is white. I could start complaining that it's because I am black but that doesn't make because I understand the complexity of the issue.
If woman are entering larger variety of jobs gap it is to be expect that there will be this effect for a while. It is immoral to just presuppose you are owed what other people have worked for. But instead stealing it gets renamed into owing by some divine notion of righteous.
2. For let it be the case that woman get paid less in the general labour jobs or in general all together.
An important thing to think about is, that there are still many more house wives in relation to house husband. If this is true then we have all the right to expect there to be this gap, since men in general are more likely to be the wage of more than one person. Moreover if a family is successful with this strategy we should expect these men to be the people who make higher salaries then others, for it is really a salary of two people.
If we account for the important factors I have mentioned, we may even see a slant in the other direction. If feminist seek equality why is this information being omitted from feminist studies.
A fool test: walk up to some feminist mob and start asking these questions. The anger will turn into HATE very fast, just for asking questions. But if they are speaking the truth, why would they do that? I have done it. Lol. But I have always been more of a Galileo then a Copernicus. (More on hate later)
Even worse:
Wage is not the only source of funding, if men pay more taxes because of making more and with the increased tax rate. Men pay more taxes then woman. But more taxes go to woman.
When we look at social programs to help females and males, there is a huge majority in toward woman and woman only programs. In large part in particularly by feminists programs. Some other forms are in educational programs, e.g. females only in scholarships; focus on female encouragement, more resources. This is all besides the fact that more shelters, and guidance counsellors more social supportive resources.
Even aside from what has been mentioned men still spend more on woman then woman on men. That is woman get more free goods then men in general.
The issue of finance is not as simple as same job same pay. Don't be fooled. (these are slippery these ones)
The fool Says: the r- Sophist over simplifies when it is in their favour and then appeals to complexity when it is not. For these are the sophisms of the relativist. Look out for their switchiness nature. ;)
A fools warning:
One thing I want to make clear is to not mistake feminist or feminism with the sex: woman, in this case people with XX chromosomes. For the Fool is at war with fundamentalism. In this case the fundamentalisms' within Feminism. My claim is that it became and I more harmful society.
The Fool: When I reflect on my studies about the history of feminism. I remember only a small group of feminist, and even then they would speak as though they were speaking for all women past and present for all eternity. But this will always be a problem because, feminists could never be representative sample of population of woman because they will always be a sample with more conviction, motivation and often more hate in relation to the actual population of woman. In what sense is this ever accounted for in feminist claim?
F-fundementalism: what I mean by this is any content of a belief system, or beliefs/faiths, opinions, viewpoints are considered truths base from expectation alone.
It is very familiar to hear people say that everything is a belief or it's all a matter of opinion. What do is the difference? What could we know for sure?
Well for example I have concept/thought of a unicorn. But let's say a Sophist tells me that it is a belief, I would say no it's impossible, why because I don't believe in unicorns. Therefore it would be a contradiction. That is, your thought is synonymous with the mental concept. You could never be wrong about what you are just thinking. Your thought is your thought it is always and absolutely true or you couldn't even be thinking it. We can call this a self-evident truth;
Just picture a tree in your mind, no matter what I think or believe or other people say your mental conceptions (ideas) are true as an idea. This is always absolutely true even if you don't believe it.
For example you may forget tomorrow that you thought of a tree just now, but it will always be true that at this time right now you had that thought whether you even believe or not. Even if no one can recognize it still happened. No matter what anyone tells you could never be wrong about what you're thinking. The sophist will try and trick you out of it.
A belief/faith is different because they depend on expectations, which is more than just a thought. When we say we believe in a tree we mean a tree in another context then thought alone.
Proof: thinks of something that you belief in but you don't' expect to be true. (try) you will see it doesn't make sense. That is to not expect something to be true, is to not belief.
So remember to expect something doesn't mean it will be true, it just mean you expect something to be true.
But remember what you believe in can turn out to be false. So there is the belief and the content (the thing you believe in)
What we are doing here is working with the mind. It is your mind that is the proof of these things.
If you get what I mean you should understand your own mind
A true belief means the content is true.
To claim that a something is true just because you expect it too is f-fundamentalist belief.
So to have f-knowledge it must be more than just a belief, that is it must be a belief+evidence
Evidence is simply a form of verification. (Experience) it doesn't have to be physical.
So we may say that knowledge is justified believe.
Another level, the highest level is f-certified knowledge, which is proven justified belief or it can be called True justified belief.
We consider math to be TJB
The fool: the relative sophist is a very slippery creature. It strength lies in vague term and the manipulation of definition. We must begin by throwing some sand on it.

Rebuttal of Pros Arguments
1. For let it be the case woman work in the same job and they get less pay.
The example given was not balanced; pro continually compared her salary to those who had more experience and seniority. To use these qualifications as a reason why women get paid less than men is a red herring.
2. For let it be the case that woman get paid less in the general labour jobs or in general all together.
My opponent attempts to justify the pay inequality by rationalizing that many men are supporting wives and we should expect the inequality. I am unwilling to concede this point, as it flies in the face of everything I know about business and has not a shred of evidence to back it up. However, even if this were true, that men are getting paid more because their employers know they have wives to take care of, then this is a fine example of institutionalized discrimination that should be added to the list of things feminism needs to address. It does not excuse the system from being discriminatory and trying to economically shoehorn women back into the role of housewives, a role so many women have fought to break free of.
Then my opponent went off on a tangeant about how if these suppositions were raised to a feminist group they would be met with disdain. In my estimation, disdain for these points is warranted, because they are nothing ludicrous attempts to justify discrimination and they are not even well reasoned justifications.
Even aside from what has been mentioned men still spend more on woman then woman on men. That is woman get more free goods then men in general.
Finally my opponent had the audacity to imply that women deserved less pay because they received more gifts from men. "Stay at home and be a good little wife and we will bring you a nice present." I think not.
My opponent spent the rest of her space exploring philosophy and epistomology. Interesting subjects, indeed, but not relevant to this discussion.
The only aspect of my opening argument that was addressed was the financial aspect, which is the least of the arguments in favor of continued feminism. The true reason feminism is still needed is because there is still sexism.
None of my opponents statements have demonstrated that feminism is doing harm of any kind, which is the basis for this debate. I was prepared to counter many arguments, but I have received none.
I forfeited the last round and explained to my opponent that the burden of proof was her responsibility. Though I had nothing to refute, it was ill-mannered of me to let my time slip away without making a response. For that I apologize to my opponent.
Supporting Arguments
The good that has been accomplished by the feminist movement can be seen everywhere. Though my opponent graciously accepts that women should be allowed to vote and drive, her arguments prove that there is still much good that the feminist movement needs to achieve. My opponent allows that woment deserve an education, but it is the patriarchal mindset that needs to be educated.
Oppression is about lack of choices. Women have been oppressed for millenia, and my opponent seems content that women be forced back into the roles that men picked out for them. I am not. An injustice done to anyone is an injustice done to everyone, and no one has a right to determine what a woman should do with her life EXCEPT the woman herself. Would the shoe be on the other foot one would expect such a hue and cry from the male population that the mountains would tremble.
A persons worth and place in society should not be determined by their genitalia. This should be res ipsa loquitur, but obviously it is not, because this discussion is still taking place. So I will speak for it.
Women, who once had only a handful of jobs from which to choose (teacher, librarian, nurse, et cetera) are now free to pursue almost any career they choose. Women are soldiers, police officers, firefighters, politicians, astronauts and doctors. For any who once said that women could not do these jobs I invite them to eat those words now. There is nothing a woman can not do.
To be sure, women were and are harrassed by the men who wanted to keep these jobs the venue soley of the male population, but they persevered. But the stereotype is not completely broken.
A woman who chooses to pursue a career is tacitly accepted by society, but it still comes with presuppositions. Women who work outside the home are still expected, overwhelmingly, to do the 'woman's work' when she gets home from her job. If the couple descides to start a family it is the woman who is expected to stay home and raise the children (if either parent does, that is).
Feminism still has good work to do in helping women destroy the last of the stereotypes. There is no harm caused by it that could possibly outweigh the good that it has accomplished and has yet to accomplish.
The_Fool_on_the_hill forfeited this round.
Pro has conceded in comments.
As Pro has forfeited another round, has yet to provide a valid argument to support the assertion that feminism is harmful and my points have been aptly made supporting the contrary position, there is no point in adding to my arguments here.
The_Fool_on_the_hill forfeited this round.
I thank my opponent for the opportunity to debate this subject.
My opponent has not shown any reason to support the resolution that feminism is harmful at all, let alone that this harm outweighs the positive effects of the movement.
As my opponent still has not posted any new argument I will let my argument stand.
I wish my opponent luck in this and future debates.
Fool may be annoying and logically ridiculous, but I have to admit that was funny, lol.
I don't understand what your last statement is supposed to mean. There are well established standards of what a strong argument is and how it is built. Though I am not an expert in debate, I came here because attempting to unravel the rambling arguments of the general internet audience is tiring.
Your challenge said only people with college or university should attempt. That, at least, implied you were confident of your ability to lay out your argument in the structure you proposed. Especially since you were attempting to argue such a tenuous position, you should have been better prepared.
A forfeit based on votes is not a forfeit. I am not repeating this debate with you, it was tiresome to unravel your arguments. By all means have it again with someone else and bring out your big guns. I'm moving on.
wouldnt you rather have a win against my position rather then an imcomplete set.
"II'll win or lose based on the strength of my argument, the weakness of yours, or a combination"
yeah I think we would all hope for that but the challlenge is convincing the voting audience which there is a varience in what a strong argument is.
I was interested in that one.... don't think of me as an evil opponent.. IF I am arguing for something it is because I think its rationally support able. I am not afraid to admit when I am wrong.. you can have that win..
I would rather restart the argument fresh.

Military Isolationism -- an approach to foreign policy wherein the USFG does not engage in any international military action unless it's against a direct threat to national security.
I look forward to an interesting discussion! - Danielle
To put it succinctly, engaging in military interventionism allows us to maintain the international hegemony of the United States, which is beneficial because it preserves global stability.
== Why Global Stability Matters ==
Firstly, there's an obvious humanitarian aspect to this. There are billions of people living outside the United States, and their lives matter. Deliberately abstaining from helping them when we are perfectly capable of doing so is a moral abomination. Leaving billions of people to suffer like that is diametrically opposed to American values.
But let's say you're a sociopath and don't care about the suffering of other humans. Not a problem -- preserving global stability is also desirable from a nationalistic perspective. In today's globalized economy, the United States no longer exists inside an isolated bubble -- the livelihood of every American depends upon the stability of our trading partners. We rely on the China for manufactured goods, the Middle East for energy, Latin America for labor, India for telecommunications services, and Europe for everything in between. Almost every country in existence provides us with essential goods & services, which is why it's in our best interests to actively maintain global stability.
== Hegemony preserves Global Stability ==
From Pax Romana, to Pax Britannica, to Pax Americana, history has consistently taught us a valuable lesson in international relations -- the world is better off when it's in a state of unipolarity [1][2][3]. When a single country's military & economic power dominates that of every other country (and the power isn't being abused), everybody enjoys the benefits of international peace and economic prosperity. There are several reasons for this:
(1) Interventions are generally beneficial
Obviously, hegemonic interventions bring individual armed conflicts to an end, thereby saving millions of lives and billions of dollars worldwide. This is exceedingly evident in the case of US hegemony -- the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War, 1989 Panama intervention, and 1995 Bosnia intervention are all examples of major successes on the part of the US Military [4]. Each produced major humanitarian & economic benefits by preventing rogue actors from abusing their power. In particular, the Gulf War saved the US more than $240 billion in oil imports, and the Panama intervention opened up the Panama Canal, which was a massive boon to international trade around the globe [5][6].
(2) US Hegemony deters war & promotes diplomacy
When the hegemon consistently demonstrates its capacity (and willingness) to swiftly break up fights & punish rogue actors, that has a deterrence effect on the instigation of armed conflict. The importance of this cannot be overstated. There are countless conflicts of interest between countries around the world, yet the vast majority of them don't devolve into wars -- this is primarily because the United States and its allies enforce international standards of conduct, and encourage countries to instead resolve such conflicts peacefully. If we do what my opponent is proposing, that will no longer be the case. Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine represents a failure of the US to properly exercise its hegemony -- American isolationism would cause that sort of occurrence to become commonplace, which would destroy global stability.
(3) US Hegemony promotes international trade
The spread of US geopolitical influence, in conjunction with the absence of international conflict, tends to facilitate the development of mutually beneficial trade partnerships. Not only does this do wonders for alleviating poverty & economic inequality, but it also serves as a natural deterrent to war. This is because war-time disruptions of international trade incur massive opportunity costs -- one study from the Federal Reserve shows that those opportunity costs are on the same level as the actual military costs of waging war [7][8].
The takeaway from all this is that the unipolarity created by US hegemony is absolutely beneficial.
On the other hand, whenever we witness multipolarity on the international stage, all hell breaks lose. We can look to literally the entirety of modern history as a case-study in this phenomenon -- aside from two periods of unipolarity (Pax Britannica in the 19th century, and Pax Americana after the 1980s), humanity was constantly plagued by destructive conflicts between competing global powers. The 16-17th century wars of religion, the Seven Years War, the Napoleonic wars, the World Wars, and the US/USSR proxy wars were ALL the direct result of multipolarity.
If the United States were to implement a policy of military isolationism today, the international stage would inevitably revert to multipolarity, as countries like Russia, China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia start competing for power. However, this would result in *exponentially* more devastation than previous periods of multipolarity, due to the availability of WMDs and the fact that modern warfare tactics tend to incur large numbers of civilian casualties. We simply cannot afford that.
In conclusion, military isolationism prevents us from maintaining US hegemony, which would bring an end to Pax Americana, halt international economic development in its tracks, and generally decimate global stability. Everybody loses if the United States withdraws from the international stage. The resolution is resoundingly negated.

Many thanks to my opponent for beginning this debate.
I'd like to clarify that we are actually discussing isolationism vs. interventonism. Isolationism is not only being against foreign war entanglements, but also being against immigration, trade and other things that have to do with outside countries. I do not support isolationism but rather non-interventionism, which is not getting involved in other country's politics (specifically with military engagements) unless unavoidable; i.e. they are an aggressive threat to us.
Keep in mind however, that as a libertarian I am not opposed to individuals voluntarily taking up arms against oppressive regimes if they see fit. But I am against the USFG pursuing a foreign policy of military interventionism.
Re: Why Global Stability Matters
First and foremost, there is no consensus on whether or not objective morality exists. Furthermore, Con has not proven that helping those in need is necessarily a moral imperative. Some people have different standards for morality. For example, libertarians utilize the Non Aggression Principle as their singular moral criteria, and this does not call for helping others as a moral imperative. Moreover, even people with the same values can disagree on the best methods to achieve their goals. Con implies that those who do not agree with his moral standards are sociopaths, but this is a manipulative fallacy.
There is no such thing as "American values" because we all have individual values. Con will not be able to argue for a universal standard of American morals. Indeed many Americans disagree on what is righteous all the time. We have no reason to assume that helping others (even when we can) is in fact an American virtue. After all, the U.S. is one of the richest countries in the world, yet almost 47 million Americans live in poverty [1]. Many Americans vehemently believe it is not theirs or other people's moral obligation to care for the poor. Similarly many Americans cheerfully reject refugees of war (they were banned in the majority of states) who are desperately in need of our safe haven [2]. So no, we have no reason to believe that helping those in need is an American priority -- even when their lives are on the line.
Re: Hegemony Preserves Global Stability
Con writes, "When a single country's military & economic power dominates that of every other country... everybody enjoys the benefits of international peace and economic prosperity." Even if this were true, this does not prove why America has to be the country responsible for maintaining global stability. In fact Con's very own arguments and examples suggest it is NOT necessarily America's responsibility. For instance he talks about Pax Romana which refers the Roman Empire, but the U.S. was not even a country until the 1700s. Today many analysts consider China to be at the top of the world in terms of militaristic and economic strength [3]. Indeed the U.S. is indebted to China. Con must explain why the U.S. is responsible for global stability today. The U.S. has only held alleged hegemonic privileges between 1945 and 1971, yet the world has continued turning (and the U.S. has been successful) both before and since then.
1. Interventions Are Generally Beneficial
I will be responding to these contentions slightly out of order.
Con notes that interventions bring conflicts to end, thereby saving millions of lives and (allegedly) billions of dollars worldwide. He specifically references Pax Americana and the U.S. military endeavors of the 1990s. However I will use these examples to negate Con's 2nd point...
2. U.S. Hegemony Deters War and Promotes Diplomacy
According to Con, the "vast majority" of conflicts don't turn into wars -- he says this is primarily because the U.S. enforces international standards of conduct, and encourages countries to resolve conflicts peacefully. But that's a warped description of reality, and may be a blatant lie. Let's look at the so-called period of Pax Romana that Con describes.
After the Cold War, the United States emerged as the victorious and undisputed global superpower. However that didn't stop Saddam Hussein from invading Kuwait, completely ignoring the new world order imposed by the dominant U.S. authority. The U.S. had to help its allies in the Persian Gulf, and followed the first Gulf War with a "dual containment" strategy that deployed troops in Iraq and Iran... and yet this military force did very little to stop another bad guy, Serbia's Slobodan Milošević, from challenging the U.S. militarily during the Yugoslavian civil war directly thereafter. Thus the U.S. had to use force in the Balkans against the Serbs. With all of its military prowess, the U.S. failed to establish peace in the Middle East, it failed to reduce Saddam Hussein's power, and it failed to reduce the Ayatollah power in Tehran. Moreover, the U.S. military prowess couldn't even prevent the rise to power of new adversaries like Venezuela's Hugo Chavez in the U.S.'s geographical backyard.
"Eventually the terrorist attacks of 9/11 demonstrated that, contrary to the prevailing axiom, American military supremacy not only failed to maintain global stability, but it helped ignite new threats to its own security at home and abroad, and required the U.S. to go to war once again in long and expensive military conflicts in Afghanistan and later Iraq" [4].
Indeed the U.S. has found itself in a seemingly endless series of wars over the past two decades. Worse, the Department of Defense admits that our aggressive foreign policy has specifically worsened our position [5, 6] which existed even before 9/11 [7]. With that said, I am directly challenging Con's supposition that interventions are generally beneficial. They haven't been.
"We were told that the U.S. had to intervene to overthrow Gaddafi so that democracy and human rights could flourish, yet five years after the US-led intervention no one would argue that the country is better off. Instead of bringing Libya democracy, US intervention brought Libya ISIS. So now the US has to go back and bomb Libya some more to take care of ISIS. Will this work? No. Logic tells us you cannot do more of what caused a problem and expect it to fix the problem. As Middle East analyst Hillary Mann Leverett observed after the US attack on Libya, 'the problem is, for each one of these targeted killings, what we have seen in the data that at least two more people sign up to join" [8].
Furthermore, let's consider the economic impact of the military industrial complex. Con says that war saves us money, but that's patently false. War is incredibly expensive! U.S. tax payers are paying over 8.7 MILLION DOLLARS PER HOUR on military conflicts [9] which is absurd. Considering our insurmountable debt; the number of (American) lives lost in battle; the fact that our national security is worse and not better off; and the fact that continuous conflict and militaristic engagements have ensued despite our interventionism, thus far Con has completely failed to prove that interventionism = beneficial diplomacy.
3. U.S. Hegemony Promotes International Trade
Con is right that stability is good for the global economy. However he has not proven that trade would not be possible without a hegemonic leader, OR that the leader must be the U.S.
"In recent years, scholars have recognized some of the problems concerning the predictions of hegemonic stability theory and the trade practices of states. Whereas it had been believed that following the failure in the early 1970s of the U.S. to support important elements of the international monetary and trade regimes, international trade would soon decline, this has not happened. On the contrary, international trade not only remains strong, but is rising faster than the growth of the world's GNP... the integration of measures of both international and domestic politics appears to be more promising than hegemonic stability theory as avenue of research for explaining the continued rise in international trade" [10]. Not only is this observed in modern times, but has been throughout history [11].
I'd also like to challenge the concept of "American" prosperity vs. individual prosperity. To someone who loses a job to a foreign competitor, would they consider themselves beneficial of international trade? Probably not, because free trade benefits individuals subjectively. But I digress.
Re: Con's Conclusion
My opponent claims that U.S. military isolationism would result in the rise of another superpower, but fails to explain why this would result in "devastating" multipolarity. Why would all "hell break loose" according to Con? He claims it's because of the availability of WMDs, and the fact that modern warfare tactics tend to incur large numbers of civilian casualties. Yet this explanation is confusing -- why is Con worried about WMDs and methods of modern warfare, when he is specifically encouraging the U.S. to get involved in modern warfare?
>> General Re-Cap and Overview of Pro's Arguments <<
1. The military is responsible first and foremost for protecting our national security. Studies show aggressive foreign policy makes us LESS safe via blowback.
2. Wars have cost us trillions of dollars over the last decade and we are not arguably any safer. We cannot afford this debt.
3. The USFG is responsible for protecting the lives of its soldiers, and not subjecting them to fight to the death unless necessary.
4. War has unpredictable consequences that can escalate. In addition to the creation of new terrorist groups and hostile retaliation, military action may threaten tempermental global alliances that put us at risk.
5. U.S. citizens have no inherent obligation to help foreign citizens.
6. If U.S. citizens have a moral obligation to help others, perhaps we should start domestically.
7. We do not necessarily have a right to interfere in foreign politics.

Two questions regarding your RFD: (1) why do you think Pro didn't make offensive arguments? She literally has seven points of offense. (2) How is the BOP on Con?

|Who won the debate:
Reasons for voting decision: RFD: Pro's burden is to show that the USFG should favor isolationism over interventionism in most cases. Con's arguments from "stability" and "hegemony" are both thoroughly refuted- the former because con fails the burden to prove objective morality or that societal values should be upheld, the latter because pro shows that hegemony does little to give benefits- which is substantiated with multiple historical examples, whereas con doesn't have much actual warrant. Pro's points are also weak because of the compelling response that the US doesn't need to be the "hegemonic" leader (China can be one). So all of this is outweighed by pro's offense, budget and lives of our soldiers. That and forfeit, so vote pro

Automatic snapshots
zfs-auto-snapshot-gitAUR seems to have disappeared from the AUR. I haven't been able to find any information on why it was deleted; does anyone know? In any case, it should probably be removed from this page. warai otoko (talk) 03:21, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
- On further inspection, looks like it may have gotten lost in the transition to AUR4. It should be resubmitted if we want to continue recommending it here; I've found it useful, at any rate. Warai otoko (talk) 04:43, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
The configuration section has WAY to few infos about what systemd unit(s) to enable. Thanks to @kerberizer I finally managed to get the mounts working with the command
# systemctl preset $(tail -n +2 /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/50-zfs.preset | cut -d ' ' -f 2)
Z3ntu (talk) 15:21, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
@Z3ntu I have ZFS running on a few systems and never had to enable any services, it should work by default, if not then file a bug on the package
Justin8 (talk) 22:04, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
@Justin8 I tried it both in a virtual machine and on a physical computer that when you don't enable any services (I use "zfs-linux" from the archzfs repo), create a pool and reboot, it doesn't exist anymore (zpool status) and the pools don't get mounted without the zfs-mount service (or whatever it is called). I found a related issue on github: https://github.com/archzfs/archzfs/issues/61
Z3ntu (talk) 08:34, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
There seems to be a new systemd target zfs-import.target which must be enabled in order to auto-mount? Otherwise zfs-mount.service will be executed before zfs-import-cache.service on my machine and nothing will be mounted. --Swordfeng (talk) 12:55, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
I think the section about systemd units should be rewritten to remove the old stale information and bring the required command-line to the fore. As mentioned on the github issue linked from the page and also repeated above by @Z3ntu. I've just been experimenting with ZFS and wasted a little time on this that could have been avoided if the page had been updated back in 2016. I haven't cahnged the page except to add the required command line there in case there is still relevance to the other text that I don't realise. I have just started using ZFS myself. starfry (talk) 16:07, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- I've set up ZFS recently and the systemctl enable commands from the Wiki page have worked fine for me so far. What do you mean by "old stale information," and why is systemctl preset […] a "required command line?" —Auerhuhn (talk) 16:33, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
That's why I never deleted anything from the page. I found that the systemctl enable commands worked up to the point that I rebooted. I discovered that the zpools were not imported on boot. Searching for information led me to the command-line on the github post and that did work for me. I thought I should raise its profile a little because I wasted a few hours on it. Actually I realised also I didn't enable the 3 services listed separately - just the ones at the top of the section (there are 6 services referenced by the github issue). But that probably is why I had the problem! Like I said, I have only just started with ZFS (I am testing in a VM with files rather than real devices) and it is possible that doing it in the small hours of the morning wasn't a good idea. The info on the page as it was left me asking more questions which were answered by the github issue and, in particular, that command line sequence. You don't need that command-line but you do need the systemd services that it enables (you could enable them by hand if you preferred). Maybe you don't need all six of them. But, as it was, it wasn't clear (to me). starfry (talk) 16:07, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Waukegan, IL (PRWEB) April 13, 2016
Fotodiox Pro, creator and distributor of several lines of specialty solutions for videography, cinematography and photography, has announced that three new products will be launching from the show floor at the 2016 NAB Show in Las Vegas, Nevada: the Flapjack LED Ring Light, the FlapJack LED Wand and the CamDolly Cinema System. Attendees who visit Fotodiox Pro at booth #C9539 will be able to view detailed demonstrations of the products, as well as order them on the spot for home delivery.
The CamDolly
Introduced as a prototype during the 2015 NAB Show, the CamDolly Cinema System is the industry's first truly portable and modular dolly system for professional-grade video and film equipment. It allows filmmakers of all levels to perform smooth, dynamic dolly shots for a fraction of the energy and expense that come with existing dolly solutions. The system includes everything a filmmaker needs to build five different dolly modes, or "protocols" – each designed to create a specific type of shot. Large crews and van transportation are things of the past, as the entire CamDolly Cinema System easily fits into a compact car and packs neatly into three luggage sized cases, the heaviest of which is 50 pounds. A single person can move all of the system's components to a shooting location with ease, and assemble the CamDolly into one of its five protocols in under 15 minutes.
- Ride-On Track Dolly - "The Sidewinder": full-size dolly with a seat for creating both straight and curved shots using the included SnakeTrack flexible rail (or optional rigid track)
- Ride-On Doorway Dolly - "Doorway X-Dolly": full-size dolly with a seat that rides on four skate wheels for smooth surfaces or pneumatic tires for outdoor shooting
- Heavy Duty Slider - "XL Slider": much more stable than a portable slider, the XL Slider is uniquely capable of supporting heavy cameras and performing smooth tracking moves
- Tabletop Dolly - "The Table Topper": attach wheels directly to the core to achieve four-wheel or three-wheel dolly shots on a tabletop, or dramatic shots near ground level
- Orbit Dolly - "360° Orbital Dolly": a three-wheeled dolly with lockable wheels. Lock the wheels to specific degrees (using included chart or app) to easily create graceful arcs around a subject without a track
"The filmmaking industry has seen tremendous innovation in the last decade, and it's easier than ever for independent filmmakers to realize their visions. The camera dolly, however, is a powerful piece of equipment that continues to be bulky, expensive and difficult to manage," says Bohus Blahut, marketing director for Fotodiox. "The CamDolly Cinema System solves all of that. It's versatile, easy to manage and transport, and creates the kind of dynamic visuals you just can't get without a dolly. We believe it can be an indispensable visual tool for independents, production studios, schools, and anyone else who simply wants to make movies."
The FlapJacks
Expanding Fotodiox Pro's groundbreaking line of ultra-portable, constant-source FlapJack LED Edgelights are the FlapJack LED Ring Light and FlapJack LED Wand. Ideal for macro photography, forensic photography and videography, product photography, portraiture and video interviews, the FlapJack LED Ring Light is bi-color, creates beautiful, uniform soft light, and provides a new level of mounting and positioning versatility. The Ring Light is compatible with 15mm and 19mm rail systems or any ¼-20 thread mount, is fully adjustable in height to accommodate different camera body and lens combinations, runs on industry standard Sony NP-F style batteries or AC power, and comes with a custom-fitted travel case.
The FlapJack LED Wand was designed to be the perfect tool for lighting vehicle interiors, tabletops and hard-to-reach corners in a variety of shooting scenarios. Featuring removable barn doors, which can be used to focus the FlapJack's trademark "glow," the Wand also comes with a pistol grip handle that allows the user to more easily position the light for various shots, or even perform artistic light painting for long-exposure shooting. Like the Ring Light, the Wand is fully adjustable between Daylight and Tungsten color temperatures, runs on industry standard Sony NP-F style batteries (included in the kit) or AC power, and comes with a custom-fitted travel case.
See Them in Action
To view demonstrations and/or purchase the CamDolly Cinema System, the full line of FlapJack LED Edgelights, and Fotodiox Pro's many other series of photography and videography equipment, please visit booth #C9539 in Central Hall at the 2016 NAB Show from April 18-21, 2016. All three products will be available for purchase at http://www.fotodioxpro.com as of April 18, 2016.

The Royals have signed right handed prospect Federico Castaneda from the Triple-A Mexican League. The 24-year old had a 4.28 ERA for Laguna while going 4-1. A Royals scout reported Castaneda's fastball was clocking at 92-94 MPH and his command was pretty good. The Royals are expected to assign Castaneda to AA Northwest Arkansas this season.

Retaining Home, Finance, and four other ministries, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Monday allotted portfolios for his council of ministers. While Sudin Dhavalikar of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) got Public Works Department, Goa Forward's Vijai Sardesai was allotted the Department of Town and Country Planning. BJP leaders Francis D'Souza and Pandurang Madkaikar were given the urban development and power portfolios, respectively.
Independent MLAs in the Cabinet got one ministry each. While Rohan Khaunte got the revenue department, Govind Gawde was allocated the Art and Culture Ministry. The MGP's Manohar Azgaonkar was given the tourism portfolio. Goa Forward's Vinod Paliencar and Jayesh Salgaoncar have been given the Water Resources and Housing departments, respectively.
Dhavalikar had the Public Works Department as his last portfolio in the previous government before he was sacked by former chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar in December. Dhavalikar's ministry will be tasked with the responsibility of carrying out infrastructural changes made in the BJP's poll campaign, including the construction of the eight-lane Zuari bridge and Mandovi bridge.
Further, with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari promising Rs 5,000 crore for the state, the public works department is expected to make progress through the term. After winning the floor test, Parrikar in his press meet had said that his immediate focus would be the budget, with the rest of the portfolios expected to be assigned in April.

When: Saturday, May 25
Time: 1:30pm for a 2pm start
Where: Brown's Store, Longford (IGA Supermarket building). Please gather in the coffee shop area at the entrance to the store ready for the start of the tour at 2 pm.
Australian supermarkets are not generally models of sustainability. The buildings are generally not designed to be energy efficient, there is usually a total reliance on artificial lighting, and the extensive refrigeration facilities use large amounts of electricity. Large amounts of waste are generated by the operations of the supermarket. When Laurie Reiner set out to plan, design, build, equip and operate his existing IGA supermarket business in Longford at a new, larger site he was determined to not finish up with a run-of-the-mill typical Australian supermarket. Laurie will share the process he went through to create the most sustainable supermarket he could, and he will then take us on a tour of the supermarket to show us how it has worked in practice.
Laurie will provide refreshments at the conclusion of the tour, which will be followed by the Tas North Branch Annual Meeting.
Call for Committee Members
The Tas North Branch meetings have been a great place to learn, to meet other people interested in sustainability and to exchange information. We want to continue to grow this but it can only be achieved through the active involvement of local members.
The Annual Meeting is where we will elect the Branch Committee for the coming year. We are therefore calling for any people interested in being a part of the Committee for the next twelve months to nominate.
There are from six to nine positions available on the ATA Tas North Branch Committee of Management. Committee members are drawn from the local ATA membership and have the opportunity to represent members' views on topic selection for meetings and matters specific to the Tas North ATA membership. Committee members are expected to attend branch meetings and Committee meetings, which are held at most monthly. Attendance at Committee meetings can be via Skype, thus allowing members who live outside Launceston to participate.
Branch roles:
Convenor – is the main local contact, organises and chairs meetings, organises branch activities, retains some branch assets and equipment.
Treasurer – collects monies, forwards them on to ATA's national office and maintains records (most of the main bookwork is performed at the national ATA office).
Secretary – assists the convenor and the committee members with meeting planning and branch activities.
Webpage Administrator – updates the branch webpage with meeting details and other branch activities.
Committee members (2 to 5 positions available) – assist with organising meetings and branch activities.
Nominations: As you can see the responsibilities are not great and don't forget that this is all about having fun! If you feel that you can handle this and would like to see the branch continue, we would like to hear from you. To nominate (or if you would like some more information) just email your name, ATA membership number and the position you are interested in to David Hamilton at email@example.com or call 0419 354 760.
The format for the afternoon will be:
• 2pm to 3pm – tour of Brown's Store
• 3pm – tea and coffee available in the meeting room
• 3:15 pm to 4pm – Annual Meeting, click here for the agenda.

Solutions For Pain & Discomfort
By Ryan Lombardo, DAOM, ABAAHP, BCIM, L.Ac.
Doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine
Summer is finally here and the weather is beckoning us outside for physical activity. Maybe add some hours on the basketball court on the weekends, a few extra rounds on the golf course, or perhaps a summer softball league? Or, maybe you don't have any extra time to workout so you're trying something like short burst high-intensity exercise.
Well, it is good, if you take care of yourself while you're at it. Medical reports show a 25-30% increase in trauma during the summer months. It's not just the added weekend warrior sports activities either. There are plenty of physical injuries reported from household duties like back strain while gardening, landscaping, or even cleaning out the garage.
So, let's say you've committed to increasing your activity level and all is well, until…
"Ouch!! That doesn't feel right. Now what do I do?"
Acupuncture for Pain Relief
Recent studies have shown acupuncture to be more effective than usual care (painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, physical therapy, etc.) for help relieving back pain in both short- and long-term cases. One study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed 60% of the acupuncture-treated patients, but just 39% of the usual-care group patients, had meaningful improvements in dysfunction…those in the acupuncture group being able to do more daily activities, such as going to social functions or performing household tasks. (http://www.webmd.com/back-pain/news/20090511/acupuncture-may-ease-chronic-back-pain)
Furthermore, those patients in the acupuncture group were still showing improvement up to one year after treatment!
Acupuncture pain relief is not just limited to back pain however. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have both recognized the value of acupuncture in the treatment of pain for osteoarthritis, knee and shoulder pain, neck pain and headaches/migraines. These effects are enhanced with increased frequency of treatments. Evidence suggests that most pain-related conditions are resolved within 12-24 acupuncture sessions.
Introducing HCG for Chronic Pain Management
HCG has been used successfully in weight loss treatments, and has recently been shown to be a powerful adjunct to managing pain. It works by increasing the levels of HCG or human chorionic gonadotropin found in the body. HCG is a hormone that is released by pregnant women and is also produced in the pituitary of males and females of all ages. Chemically it is made up of two amino acid components, that when stimulated gives HCG multiple clinical uses.
In a study presented at the 2011 Academy of Pain Management, one of the top pain management physicians in the U.S. shared data that showed hCG was helpful in reducing pain as well as the need for medication by up to 50% in those with intractable pain from fibromyalgia, arthritis, spinal conditions, peripheral pain in arms, hands, legs and feet, and headaches.
At FreshSkin Medical Spa and Wellness Center, acupuncture is offered for any number of reasons, with pain, inflammation, and anxiety being the most often treated ailments. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes and includes any and all modalities necessary to provide relief. For added relief of chronic pain, consider adding sublingual (under the tongue) HCG to your treatment regimen. Begin with a Wellness Consultation to determine which path is right for you.
Feel relief and enjoy the rest of summer. Call today to schedule your appointment.

NORWALK, Conn. — The National Hardware Show, which takes place May 10-12 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, is expecting one of its deepest and most diverse line-ups of retailers and distributors in the Show's 66-year history.
This impressive list of global attendees comes not only from traditional hardware retail and wholesale outlets but additional retailers like grocery, mass, drug, catalog and the Internet - all representing almost $240 billion in sales revenue.
In addition to industry giants like Home Depot, Walmart, Sears, Costco and Leroy Merlin, the sold-out Show is attracting additional retailers like ShopRite/PriceRite (grocery), Skymall (catalogue), and Amazon.com, QVC and Cabela's (outdoor recreation).
There will also be a significant number of independent hardware retailers representing the Ace, True Value and Home Hardware co-operatives, as well as distributors like Orgill, Distribution America, Gro Group, Lancaster and others.
"For retailers and distributors, the National Hardware Show represents a way to stay ahead of the competition and put the latest and most innovative products in front of their customers," said Rich Russo, event director, National Hardware Show. "We look forward to an attendee list that reflects not only a Who's Who in home improvement but a variety of outlets that show how much our industry continues to expand to include the entire channel."
The 2011 National Hardware Show – the first to be held in conjunction with the North American Retail Hardware Association (NRHA) All-Industry Convention – features nine product categories: Lawn, Garden & Outdoor Living; Hardware & Tools; Homewares; Paint & Accessories; Plumbing & Electrical; Storage & Organization; and Tailgating/Outdoor Recreation; as well as core product categories being featured in the Show's International Sourcing area.
The Show will continue to offer exciting special events, including product demonstrations, NRHA TV and Social Networking Roundtables, as well as informative addresses by industry experts.
The categories of buyers attending this year also include BJs (warehouse); Target and HSN (mass merchants/specialty/internet catalogue); Price Chopper (major grocers); CVS and Albertson's (chains); and Arett Sales Corporation, Commerce Corporation and Foster's (lawn/garden/outdoor living distributors).
"Personally, I have been attending the National Hardware Show for 20 years and have seen retailers of all sizes, states, countries and diverse business backgrounds," said Brendan Sullivan, director of merchandising for PRO Group, Inc., the nation's largest independent hardlines group with $3 billion in annual distributor sales. "The merchandise team at PRO Group uses the National Hardware Show an important source for new products and manufacturers. New products and programs are extremely important to PRO Group member distributors and PRO hardware retailers."
Kris Kahn, president of The Fulham Group, explained that his company's new line of portable outdoor grills caters to a cross-section of lifestyle segments – from camping and tailgating to beach and backyard entertaining – and that the National Hardware Show® enables him to reach retailers in multiple segments all under one roof. For example, the Fulham Group will have a chance to market Ambia, its line of modular space heaters, to home centers as well as non-traditional hardware retailers like office supply stores.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to grow our retail partnerships and channels of distribution at the National Hardware Show," said Kris Kahn, president of the Fulham Group, the exclusive licensee for Cuisinart outdoor grills and grilling tools. "NHS attracts a wide variety of core retailers from traditional hardware segments as well as other target markets for Fulham, such as camping and specialty cooking retailers. This breadth of retail channels is one of the main reasons we chose to exhibit again this year."
Derril Linseman, product manager, lawn and garden for Home Hardware, a Canada-based chain of hardware building centers, spends most of his time in the Lawn, Garden & Outdoor Living area each year at the Show. "I always find not just new products, but also the latest trends in colors, styles, what's hot and what's not," he said. "The number of quality vendors and products continues to grow. It is an important starting point for our selection of product for the next season."
The National Hardware Show celebrates a rich history spanning 66 years of serving the home improvement marketplace. From its early beginnings in New York during the post-World War II housing boom and eventual move to Chicago in the 1970s to today's current location in Las Vegas, the National Hardware Show continually evolves through the industry's involvement, commitment and passion to improving America's quality of life through their homes.

A delicious new coffee season has begun in Ottawa as fresh coffees from South America and Central Africa have arrived to replace those coffees from Central American and Ethiopia that are going out of season. We are pleased to bring back a few Southern Season favourites this year while introducing some new coffees that we have not had the pleasure of knowing in the past.
Colombia Piendamó is a coffee that we have started the southern harvest season with. It is a terrific coffee grown by small organic producers around the town of Piendamó, Cauca. It is cultivated and harvested on the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Occidental, the westernmost of the three Andean mountain ranges of Colombia. The coffee is slightly sweet with balanced acidity and boasts a very respectable mouthfeel. The flavours when roasted to a full medium are somewhat chocolaty and nutty, making it a very broadly appealing coffee.
Next up for the season are two recently released coffees from around 1000 km to the southwest of Piendamó in southern Ecuador and northern Peru: Ecuador Zumba and Peru Amazonas. These coffees, combined with the Piendamó from Colombia, round out the core of the medium roast offering for the season. Zumba, from Ecuador, is named after the town in the Zamora-Chinchipe department around which the producers grow this coffee. The Amazonas from Peru is similarly named after the department in northwestern Peru where this coffee originates. Both of these coffees, as with all of our full medium roasts, are selected for ripe selection and clean processing to yield a sweet and clean cup with ample roast development for the flavour to carry through nicely in milk. Taken black these coffees offer flavours that are carmaelly, sugary and nutty while offering some unique characteristics owing to their specific origins. The Amazonas features some pastry-like and very slight tropical fruit aromas, while the Zumba features an orange floral aroma that I really love.
In the next weeks we have a few more coffees to add to the medium roast line up. Later in March we are excited to bring back a coffee from the ASOCAFE cooperative based in Taipiplaya, Bolivia that we haven't featured since 2013. Bolivia Tapipiplaya is among the more lively of coffee's we'll have for the season with a juicy acidity and a caramelly, toasty, nutty aroma profile that is reminiscent of caramel brittle. We are also launching in March a single farm coffee from an individual member of the CENFROCAFE cooperative in Jaén, Peru - Efrain Carhuallocllo (Kar-hwa-yolk-yo) which will be a rare, delicious treat that will only last a few weeks.
Looking further ahead in April we look forward to the release of coffee from Uganda in addition to another single producer coffee from Peru.
As for the dark roast line up, we are getting set to transition into Southern Season offerings from Colombia, Peru and the Democratic Republic of the Congo! We will be finishing the last of our supplies from Mexico and Nicaragua from this past harvest and will be rolling out Colombian Dark, Andean Dark (from two sources in Northern Peru) and Congolese Dark. Each of these have their own characteristics when roasted to a dark degree, offering slight variations on the smoky and powerful roast character you get from high temperature roasting. Look out for all of these to be in stores by mid April!
There's nothing quite like excellent African coffee. Uganda Bukonzo Owemba joins Congolese Dark for this season's slate of coffees from the region, but there are a few things you might not know about this great medium roast. The coffee comes from the Bukonzo Joint Cooperative in the Rwenzori Mountains in western Uganda - this member-owned cooperative of 5,500 small farms raises high-quality, organically grown, hand-picked coffee. It is also 83% owned by women members!
Bukonzo Joint was founded in 1999 to serve the poor, isolated farming communities in Bukonzo county, which, due to war, poverty, and location, has been marginalized in the past. The central focus of the cooperative's operations is offering sustainable financial and capacity building services to the economically disadvantaged. Bukonzo Joint is committed to improving the living standards of the rural poor, and ensuring that they are active participants in the economic, social, and political development of Bukonzo county.Bukonzo Joint is headquartered in Kyarumba town, Kasese district. Its operations in Bukonzo county's sub-counties of Kyarumba, Kyondo, Kisinga, Lake Katwe, Maliba and Mahango, include marketing its farmers' organic coffee; micro-finance, such as providing agriculture and small business loans to members; and member training and skills development. In addition to its more than 5,500 farmers, Bukonzo Joint has a full-time staff of 29, over 140 part-time volunteers, and fourteen training officers.
This is our second year working with Bukonzo and we're extremely pleased with the progress of the relationship thus far. The cooperative has been supported heavily in recent years by a celebrated development project with significant energy being put specifically into quality related investments such as milling, storage, transportation and quality assessment capacities. As a result of these investments we are seeing some extraordinary progress in consistency and tastiness of the coffee sold as "Owemba" lot – a local word for 'something outstanding'.
The coffee is roasted medium to highlight its exceptional cleanliness and sweetness; the taste is full and balanced with ample sweetness and acidity. Flavours are in the categories of dried fruit (raisin-like), toasted nuts and rooibos-like earthy (a flavour that we find is characteristic of many coffees from that part of Africa).
Uganda Bukonzo Owemba will be available through August/September!
Thanks for supporting the Homework Club again this year!
We always have a great time when we visit the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa and on Tuesday we got to hang out with the Homework Club again! It marked the end of our three-month long fundraiser with the sale of EK #65 Blend, a great coffee that Ottawa Senator Erik Karlsson helped to us develop for BGCO.
$2 from every pound of EK #65 Blend sold went to the Homework Club. Thanks to you, we were able to donate over $11,000 to a community program that provides a safe and supportive environment for children and youth to get after-school help with their homework, to form solid friendships, and to be active.
Our sincere and special thanks to Erik Karlsson for working with us again this year. We cannot thank him enough for his support. Without him, we would not have been able to raise the $22,000 between this year and last.This year's Most Valuable Supporter award? Hats off (again!) to our Bank and Second Avenue coffeehouse team who defended the blue line in true Karlsson style to retain their title! From November through February almost one out of every five bags of coffee bought at Second was a bag of EK #65 Blend to support the Homework Club. Our thanks to them for driving this fundraiser so much - they really hit the ball out of the park (puck out of the rink?)!

With this post I get back to my roots on the Collaborative tools aspect of Web 2.0. I know, it's less sexy and less popular, but I believe collaborative tools (versus social media) can demonstrate much potential for the use of Web 2.0 internal to Government.
Tools like wikis hold a lot of promise for the government, but they still have much in common with general enterprise wikis. I've written before about GCPEDIA, the Government of Canada-wide wiki, and its 3 main roles:
- People: Creating communities and connecting to people
- Collaboration: Providing a space for minds together to do collaborative work
- Knowledge: A repository of information at people's fingertips.
Leveraging these roles to create communities on wikis can be difficult, as users may be unfamiliar with the tool, unsure of its role, and unaware of the support or direction they have to use it. Unlike knowledge wikis (like Wikipedia), enterprise wikis like GCPEDIA and departmental wikis (like the NRCan Wiki) have emerged 3 main uses:
- Disseminating a message: The wiki page you create is available to all (who have access);
- A repository of information: Use the wiki to keep important information on a topic, event, community;
- Collaborating on a document: Put up your thoughts and get other's input as well in one place.
There is a lot of interest to use wikis for community support and community building. It makes sense: Communities are best supported with a website that has the information they need, and a community-run website best does this, and what sounds closest to a community-run website than a wiki, I ask rhetorically. Well, anything but a wiki unless you know what a wiki is, which may not be most people. Add to this the revelation that wikis aren't meant for supporting communities; a wiki is a platform supporting knowledge, that can be applied for supporting communities. Wikis are no more for communities than they are for informing others about your corner-of-the-desk project, for storing your favorite recipes or collaborating on your camp trip. These are uses of a wiki, not purposes. And supporting a community is a use of a wiki. So, understanding that wikis, out-of-the-box don't support communities, you're one step ahead to understanding that the work ahead to crafting and plugging your community into a wiki requires work. The next steps I hope to help you with the following tips.
First off, it's important to know some of the pros and cons to having your community on a wiki:
- a wiki can help bridge the gaps in geography between members;
- provides an outlet for members to be more involved and interactive;
- can be more efficient to provide more timely information;
- can connect the community to other communities on the wiki, and other people and the enterprise knowledge.
- You can drive your community nuts;
- May seem like you're imposing a tool on the community. "What? Something else I have to use?"
- Wiki limitations can limit the potential of your on-line presence, tools;
- You submit to the tool and its administrators;
- You may not "get it" yourself;
- Enterprise wikis have their own culture, code, and can be hard to learn when taking the bull by the horns with your own community
Remember: wikis don't create communities – wikis support communities.
Here are 6 steps to supporting your community using a wiki:
- Step 1: Know the wiki
- Enterprise wikis can have their own mandate, culture, code of conduct and Information Practices. Perhaps they have their own way to work with communities, eliminating overlap, confusion (i.e.: maybe another community in another department or branch has the same name?). Check out other communities that are using the wiki. What are their pages like? Maybe get in touch and ask what challenges have they faced? Are the members contributing, or do they just use it as a resource? This will be useful to answer ahead of time as you will have very many questions later. Also helpful is to find out who you can ask for help while building the community up or making the pages.
- Step 2: Draft up what the community page will look like
Get your hands dirty with drafting what the community presence on the wiki will look like. It may be harder than you think, but find this out is the point. But don't let the lag get in the way. As you scope out the content you should have up, understand bare-bones isn't going to cut it when you're getting people onto a new tool, but you also don't need to go crazy filing it up. Instead concentrate your time and efforts on 2 things:
- have your wiki page do what enterprise wikis do best: disseminating your message and getting people on the same page;
- improve the pages usefulness by building up that repository of information: meeting date and locations, bios of the members on the committee, contact info, minutes of past meetings, etc.
- More tips:
- Steal/copy/borrow from other wiki pages, and don't feel guilty about it one bit. These are wikis.
- Indicate atop your page(s) that "This is a draft".
- Put all the information you can about the community. You will want to make members' first visit to be a fulfilling one.
- Step 3: Getting management buy-in / avoiding management shut-down:
- Before you go further, but after you've done your "pathfinder" to figure the tool out, you'll want to tip off your management about this uncharted territory. Key here is to get support from above so they're not asking you to shut it down later (which is worse). Careful though: you may get your wheels stuck if they don't get this "kiwi" thing you're talking about . Explain this will add value and efficiency to the community, and point to other similar communities that are on-board. Show the draft you've made, point out the "This is a draft" banner, and show similar communities as well. If you can't get approval, or you get delays in going further, do not pass Go and do not collect $200.
- Step 4: Craft your community's purpose on the wiki. Make it explicit.
- Though your ultimate goal may be to have everyone actively contributing, discussing, collaborating on the wiki page, that won't happen overnight, or on day 1. I suggest you make the purpose humble and make it explicit. Simply calling the wiki page "the community" isn't enough, you need to spell it out, that the wiki will serve as the hub of information (repository of information, the weekly bulletin, the time and location of the next meeting). But still do invite them to discuss (you may have come across templates with easy to place code already formatted to invite this on the page). Users will contribute and discuss when they're ready. And they'll be ready when they see the value. Those who "get" wikis will do it without avail. Or with avail. I don't know how that word is used. Anyway, you get me here. "Will do it without hesitation".
- Step 5: Get feedback from key members of the community
- Before you start to shout out the location of the community wiki site to all the members, you want to get another opinion to see if there are any red flags. Maybe you missed something completely obvious, or have some wrong information up there. By asking key members of the community you can hit two birds with one stone: you get their views and (hopefully) get their buy-in (people like heads-up on exclusive information). Ask for input and appreciate the opinions, but in the end don't be bogged down by contradictory or opinions, your page can always be better and there's always many ways to skin a cat (but apparently few ways to repeat a bad idiom). Your wiki page reflects your best efforts and your best ways to support the community using the wiki.
- Step 6: Promote it through the regular channels (email?). Prepare to keep on emailing.
- Now you're ready to promote the community's wiki page. Be sure to talk to members' possible concerns while mentioning the benefits. Do expect to still be using email for the medium to long-term. Rejoice if it doesn't end up that way. Continue to email your updates, but now you can keep them concise. Link to the wiki page as much as you can, to more content if a member wanted, to a page where they can write a comment about the topic, to anything.
- Step 7: Stick in there
- Lastly, it's important you persevere. If the wiki is new to everyone in your community, not having a revolt on your hands is a good thing. The seeds of your culture-change will emerge from the soil, and the fruits of your labour will come to fruition as the community matures to a fledgling life of its own. Stay mindful that the benefits may not be so obvious but may exist; members can access the information they need any time, cutting your otherwise long and expensive discussions with web designers or cashed-in favours with office geeks. Also you've learned a new skill (wiki formatting, web development and knowledge management), and nothing but time keeps you from editing those pages and making them even better (instead of money, access to tools). And when someone has a correction to submit or views worth two cents, you can tell them to "do it!" themselves and mean it (politely of course). But until it takes a life of its own, be prepared to hold onto the stick, copying notes from emails to the wiki, and updating it regularly yourself.
There you go. Now get out there and do it!

In the wake of the deadly Paris attacks, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said the U.S. needs to intensify its efforts to defeat ISIS. Speaking to a crowd of over 600 cadets, veterans, and faculty members at The Citadel, the military college in South Carolina, Bush said "The United States should not delay in leading a global coalition to take out ISIS with overwhelming force. As the words of French President Hollande have made clear, the United States will not be alone in galvanizing this global effort.
