Ghostwriting agency Gotham Ghostwriters recently launched a new arm dedicated solely to ghostwriting creative fiction. Why? Because its fiction clients are on the rise. And instead of the corporations that used to solicite ghostwritten fiction, the new clients are often individuals with a dream for publishing a novel – and possibly launching a multimedia franchise along with it.
"I've been ghosting fiction for 15 years now, so I think the demand has always been there to some extent," says Dr. Jennifer Banash, a New York Times-bestselling ghostwriter and director of the Creative Writing group.
"What I think has changed is that the practice has shifted from being the brain child of publishing houses or packaging companies, who routinely farm out successful series' on the down low, to everyday people who have either harbored dreams of making it big in the publishing world, or who just want to simply get their story out there."
So what's driving the average joe's dreams? This shift could be driven by the disruptive technology that powers our social media-reliant world, according to Dan Gerstein, founder and CEO of Gotham Ghostwriters.
"My theory is that it is largely driven by the ongoing democratizing of storytelling and publishing," Gerstein tells me. "First off, social media has made everyone with a Twitter or Facebook account an author and a publisher, and the instant validation people get for the stories they put out to the world is a potent force in encouraging people to want to share their stories to a wider universe. Second, the explosion of self-publishing options and the rise of disruptive platforms like Wattpad has largely decimated the barriers to entry for a class of authors who could never get published before. These folks look at the amazing success stories of Fifty Grey Shades of Grey and The Martian — both of them self-published — and they understandably say, 'why not me?'"
Ghosting nonfiction has long been a sustainable business thanks to the ghostwritten author's typical goal of crystalizing their expertise in an area. They're not trying to live off of book sales, but are instead using the book as a valuable signpost that highlights their 'expert' status and brings in the acclaim and speaking engagements that go along with that. So what are ghostwritten fiction authors trying to attain?
"Fiction clients are generally most interested in simply getting their story told," Dr. Banash says. "Most often they've dreamed of writing a book or being published for years, but don't have the necessary skills to get them across the finish line. They're dreamers—and it's part of our job to make those dreams of holding their own book in their hands a reality. And in our current technological culture where everything is available at any time, this attitude has begun to extend to books as well. Have a great idea for a novel (and literally everyone these days has one) but don't know how to conceptualize it? Or write it? Well, that's where we come in."
Franchise ambitions are on the rise
I've written before on why books are the quickest way convert a good idea into a copyrightable format. They're a great way to beta-test a new IP that might turn into a multimedia franchise if it's popular enough. "The book is the foundational anchor for movies, TV properties, even video games," as Gerstein puts it.
Gotham's fiction clients seem to agree. Gerstein says they tend to break down into two different categories: "The first group come to us major ambitions — they want to publish the next Divergent or Dark Materials and do whatever they can to get a movie deal. The second group comes to us with much more modest aims — they have a story burning inside of them and they just want to get it out into the world."
It's easy to dismiss that first group as starry-eyed dreamers. Sure, Hollywood is all about franchises, but even having a recognizable IP isn't enough for survival, as flops like recent cracks at King Arthur or Robin Hood indicate. Mortal Engines and A Wrinkle in Time both flopped last year despite the popularity of their source material. But succeeding or flopping as a published book can be the trial by fire that an intellectual property needs to prove it could be another Hunger Games.
"While that is typically seen as a longshot, all you have to do is look at the success of Wattpad authors in getting their stories optioned to recognize that this is no longer the pipe dream that many publishing snobs once assumed it to be," Gerstein argues.
It might not be a sure path to Hollywood fame, but interest in the ghostwriting approach to franchise-building is likely partially responsible for the snowballing growth of fiction ghostwriting overall.
"More and more I'm speaking to clients who see their novel as not a means to an end, but who want to use it as a way to tap into a kind of multimedia franchise: book, video game, movie sale, Netflix series," Dr. Banash tells me. "This many-pronged approach is quite popular in the fantasy and science fiction genres at the moment, in particular."
Fiction ghostwriting: The book lover's dream career?
Gotham Ghostwriting boasts a network of more than 2,000 editorial and publishing specialists, with connections to 20,000 freelance pros in their wider orbit – the "largest network of accomplished ghostwriters, collaborators, storytellers, and editors in the country," according to Gerstein. Knowing which of those writers to matchmake with which client is a large part of their success, whether in fiction or nonfiction.
"Anyone could place a YA ghost with a YA project, but I pride myself in finding exactly the right writer for whatever project is at hand," Dr. Banash says.
Finding a sustainable career in the publishing industry can be tough for a literary-minded 20-something. Even seemingly successful mid-list novelists can't count on their next paycheck staying the same size. That makes fiction ghostwriting potentially attractive: A steady job that lets you write novels might sound like a dream career for for a freshly graduated English major in 2019. However, it's certainly not for everyone. After all, it's a skilled profession that requires expertise. And the fiction market still isn't as large as the nonfiction ghostwriting market, even if it's on the rise.
"At this stage, we can't say that fiction ghostwriter will be a sustainable dedicated profession as it can often be on the non-fiction side," Gerstein says. "But what we can say is that collaborative storytelling can and will increasingly be a rewarding way for novelists and screenwriters to supplement their income and subsidize the writing they do under their own name."

Nebraska and Wisconsin already played twice this season so the outcome of the National Championship match might not seem to be in doubt; but it is. While the result of those matches was the same, Wisconsin won, the Nebraska coaching staff and players believe they might even say they know that everything that went wrong in those matches was controllable on their side of the net.
Nebraska can change the outcome by serving tough and to target. Nebraska can earn points by playing more defense. Nebraska can win by being smart and aggressive as attackers.
Only 21 days have passed since Nebraska last lost to Wisconsin on November 26th. 21 days doesn't seem like many days until you think about all this team has done in those days. First, Nebraska hasn't lost since that match and not only have they not lost, they have beaten Purdue, Campbell, Florida State, Illinois, Texas and Pitt. These match wins are important and impressive.
Obviously, the two most recent wins are huge as they are part of advancing in the NCAA tournament. Clearly the Purdue win is meaningful because the Boilermakers proved they are a quality team in this tournament too. But none of these teams are Wisconsin.
So while these match wins are necessary, it is excellent that Nebraska has had solid weeks of practice in the gym. Unlike the conference season with weekday matches followed by weekend match, the NCAA tournament schedule gives teams some solid days in a row in their home gym. When the Huskers have time to prepare, they do well.
Nebraska played very well during set 1 against the Badgers in November. They executed the game plan and were focused on the key points their coaching staff emphasized to them. In the next three sets, they were not able to follow the strategy and this resulted in losses.
The Huskers were zeroed in at Gregory Gym in Texas. They knew who to serve, and then they served her, and tough. When the set wasn't perfect, they knew where to tip or push the ball to cause trouble for the Longhorn defense. This is match preparation translated to match execution. What Nebraska did against Texas was beautiful, because they were playing the coaches game plan and they were doing it with trust and confidence.
The game plan to beat Pitt was executed with nerves during set one, but thereafter serves went to target with a thump behind them. Setting tendencies were remembered and acted upon. Lauren Stivrins knew Rachel Fairbanks would set the middle so she waited right in front of Serena Gray. When Gray did get the set, Stivrins lined up for the block just as the scouting report told her to do. This is discipline, focus and a high level of execution.
The same thing can happen against Wisconsin. These teams clearly know each other after playing twice and also playing so many common opponents. This means the teams and coaches are able to more accurately prepare for the other team coming into Saturday night.
For example, Nebraska may have prepared the speed of Pitt's offense but until they actually saw and played against it they were only simulating and it took one set to get the hang of the real deal. They don't have to simulate Wisconsin, though, they've played against it.
The coaching staff also benefits from watching multiple teams try to beat the Badgers. Those teams used strategies that were effective in part. They revealed chinks in the armor. Louisville served to Julia Orzol and it worked. She does not always pass well. They also put a discipline block in front of her and turned the ball back on Wisconsin and Orzol. This is also a really similar strategy to what Nebraska did to Pitt player Leketor Member-Meneh.
By serving Member-Meneh and putting four strong hands in front of her as a block, Nebraska limited her to a .150 hitting percentage. They can do the same thing to Orzol. Orzal will earn kills but it will reduce her impact on the match.
The Pitt middles did damage in set 1 against Nebraska. They did this because the serve was not difficult enough. Passers were able to put the ball right on top of the setters head and she could set anything she wanted. An easy serve is like a gift to the opposing team; a kill, gift wrapped. The Wisconsin middles will also do damage if Nebraska serves easy balls.
If, however, serves are pushing setter Sydney Hilley off the net then she has fewer offensive options to choose from, and out of system (off the net) play has an increased chance of error. So, forcing serve receive passes off the net reduces offensive options AND increases the probability of error, both are good for the Huskers.
The mental space that each team enters this match is very different. Both teams have super seniors, both teams talk about final four and championship expectations in their goal setting and both know they can win. Wisconsin hasn't ever won. Wisconsin feels like a ram, ready to charge the door to the national championship trophy; to burst through with all their pent up desire. Nebraska feels more like a hawk, ready to take flight. "Let's just see how high we can fly".
Both teams are highly motivated and you won't find an ounce of give in on the court tomorrow.

This disc has not yet been reviewed. The following information has been provided by the distributor.
Marlene Dietrich for years insisted that The Blue Angel (1930) was her screen debut, when in fact she was catapulted to fame by this silent drama of 1929, which fits neatly among the visually dynamic and emotionally dark melodramas of Josef von Sternberg and G.W. Pabst. Uno Henning stars as a young businessman whose plans of marriage are interrupted when he becomes entranced by a haunting young woman (Dietrich) who seems to be the victim of a monocled sadist (Fritz Kortner). Like Dietrich, director Kurt Bernhardt would emigrate to the United States and enjoy a long career making films based around strong female characters, including Possessed (Joan Crawford), A Stolen Life (Bette Davis), and Miss Sadie Thompson (Rita Hayworth). Restored in 2012 by the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Stiftung, this edition is accompanied by a spectacular original orchestral score by Pascal Schumacher.

Press Release
Gubernatorial Candidate Scott Jensen And Other GOP Legislators To Raise Money For Woman With Warrant For Her Arrest
Jensen and other GOP Legislators will appear at a fundraiser this weekend to raise money for an Albert Lea woman who faced an active warrant for her arrest for violating COVID-19 restrictions.
This weekend, gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen and other GOP legislators will speak at a fundraiser for Lisa Hanson, an Albert Lea wine bar owner who had an active warrant for her arrest and faces nine misdemeanor criminal counts, for violating COVID-19 restrictions. The fundraiser is to "support her legal fight".
Scott Jensen has made a name for himself as a COVID conspiracy theorist, has spread misinformation about COVID-19, posted anti-vaccine videos on social media, and was recently kicked off Tik-Tok for spreading COVID-19 misinformation.
DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin released the following statement:
"Since long before he announced his campaign for governor, Scott Jensen has pushed dangerous conspiracy theories even going so far as accusing our frontline medical providers of inflating the COVID death rate for their financial gain – it is hardly a surprise that he is now fundraising to support someone whose claim to fame is refusing to recognize the danger of this pandemic. Republicans like Scott Jensen cannot claim to support law and order while encouraging Minnesotans to break the law and put their communities at risk.
"Minnesotans should be able to trust a doctor when it comes to public health, but Jensen continues to put his political career over the health and well-being of our community. Scott Jensen can not be trusted as a doctor, let alone as governor."

Claiming that it ensures cleaner air in hospitals and offices, which could provide relief for the MENA region's asthma sufferers, help lower healthcare costs and reduce absenteeism from work, European carpet manufacturer, Desso has introduced AirMaster carpet.
Desso puts forward the following statistical data to support its contention that the MENA region is prone to allergies: Firstly, according to a report by the World Allergy Organisation (WOA), the MENA region is home to an estimated 50 million asthma sufferers, which costs the regional health service and local economies an estimated USD 2.5 billion each year in direct medical costs, absenteeism from work and low productivity.
Secondly, the WOA has reported that the prevalence of asthma within the GCC is thought to be relatively high, particularly among children, with recent studies in the UAE showing that 20% already suffer from the disease. According to a global asthma prevalence study part of a World Health Survey (WHS), designed and implemented by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2012, in Kuwait, 17% of the population is afflicted. In Saudi Arabia, numbers vary from region to region, ranging from 15% to 25% and in the UAE, 12% of adults also suffer from asthma.
In the light of this, Desso lists the following product features and advantages:
n AirMaster is able to capture and retain potentially harmful fine dust, lowering its concentration in the indoor air by as much as eight times, compared with hard floors, and four times lower than with standard carpet – based on tests performed by the German Test Institute (GUI), with Desso AirMaster versus standard PVC hard floor and versus standard structured loop pile carpet.
n The ribbed structure and the open spaces between the thick and fine yarns allow optimal air circulation and improved dust release.
Andre Dulka, Regional Director, Middle East, Africa & India, Desso, highlighted additional salient features of Desso carpets. Speaking to Climate Control Middle East, he pointed out that all Desso products were tested and adhered to the limit values for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as defined by the Carpet Industry Association for Environmental Issue (GUT). He added that the same set of criteria was used by the US-based Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), which launched its Green Label Plug testing and certification to indicate carpet and carpet backings that emit low VOCs. "All Desso's business carpet products meet these criteria," Dulka emphasised.
He also shared the information that, in the development of the company's carpet tiles, Desso sought to use the healthiest chemical ingredients from a human health and environment point of view. This, he added, helped to reduce the problem of VOCs posing risks to people's health.

An excerpt from a recent piece by Jason Zengerle at TNR:
As journalists, we obviously have to cover things we don't necessarily enjoy covering (and even things we initially enjoy covering may become tedious after a while; just talk to any sports reporter who no longer appreciates his front-row seat at the Final Four). But with the advent of Fox News and conservative blogs, the definition of "coverage" has kind of mutated. It's no longer just about talking to sources or covering events; it's about consuming media, too. And now, it's almost as if you have to watch Glenn Beck and read Michelle Malkin–or you're not doing your job. And, honestly, I can't think of anything more soul-crushing than watching Beck and reading Malkin on a daily basis. So I'm not really sure what's to be done.
While my new "job" at Instaputz does not compare to being a real journalist, I certainly feel his pain. Mocking the hell out of Glenn Reynolds required one big change in my life – namely that I had to start reading Instapundit every day. I will try to make the next point without melodrama or unnecessarily florid language: people, Instapundit sucks. It's just really, really bad. Reading it every day feels like punishment, the monotonous repayment of a karmic debt from an earlier incarnation – and judging by the sheer unpleasantness of this task, I must have been a child porn magnate in a previous life. Right-wing blogs and Fox News used to feel like larks, a good way to get shits, giggles, and something to blog about the next day. But small doses are one thing. Becoming a regular reader is quite the other.
Glenn Reynolds' writing talents produce three kinds of posts in varying quantities on any given day:
In short, reading Glenn Reynolds on a daily basis is a relatively new experience for me and I am shocked at the repetitiveness, banality, and lack of anything approaching insight. The casual consumer of right-wing blogging only notices how stupid most of it is; only by becoming a regular reader are the other levels on which it sucks revealed. You know that most of what ends up on Instapundit is stupid and/or fabricated. Now I know that it's also uninteresting, unenlightening, uncreative, unoriginal, and overwhelmingly preoccupied with "cross-promotion" of the latest harebrained scheme from the Pajamas Media "Empire." This brings me to the main course.
Last week the bold Pajamas Media experiment – you remember, the one that was going to reshape the entire mainstream media – came one step closer to cranking up the Joy Division and slashing its wrists. The PJM Blogger Network, which paid a subsidy to various right-wing blogs shit factories to keep all that quality product coming, is no more. This venture depended on PJM's ability to sell ads and make a profit while doling out cash to its "Network." And of course there were no profits and very few businesses who cared to advertise to America's shut-ins, compulsive masturbators, and Federal courthouse bombers-in-training.
PJM claims that the network has been taken out behind the chemical sheds and shot in order to focus (*cough*) on their unconscionably asinine Pajamas TV project. This amalgam of repetitive, basement-quality videos seems to be the result of a brainstorming session in which the PJM folks decided they weren't losing money fast enough. Why they believed that anyone would pay to subscribe to this dreck (I hope you like interviews with Joe the Plumber!) when there is so much guy-ranting-into-camera content available online at no cost is beyond me. They seem to have felt that the quality of their product would convince people to pay…you know, for just $9.99 you can get the thrice-weekly interviews between Glenn Reynolds and Michelle Malkin before any of your friends! I've seen worse business plans, but they required phrases like "New Coke" or "Edsel" to compete with this trainwreck.
While the internet is bursting with conservative critiques of PJM's business model and lefty gloating about its spectacular half-gainer into an empty pool, I wish to eulogize its passing with the simplest but most accurate explanation for its impending demise: it's fucking terrible. Glenn Reynolds is the least interesting thing on the internet since the coffee pot webcam. The blogger network was just a circle-jerk of people with writing skills ranging from mediocre to terrible repeating the same idiotic talking points over and over; like a VHS tape, each successive copy degraded the quality a little more. PJTV sets a new standard for inanity that is unlikely to be challenged let alone surpassed in my lifetime. The fundamental problem in establishing a right-wing "alternative" media is not a systemic bias. It is the inescapable fact that they have absolutely nothing interesting to say and are woefully inarticulate in saying it.
Roger Simon's business plan seems to be based on Japanese WWII kamikaze tactics. Getting people to pay for online content – for frickin' blogging and YouTube-quality videos – is an uphill battle with miniscule odds of success. Those odds effectively become zero when the product one sells is complete shit. The fact that this is a "big story" in the blogging world while most of you probably have never heard of Pajamas Media is a testament to how completely they failed to back up their 2004-era boasting about bringing the media to its knees. Many excuses will be made and explanations offered when the entire enterprise finally implodes (place your bets in the PJTV Death Pool!) but most will be spurious. The simplest explanation happens to be the best in this case: Roger Simon apparently had to spend a lot of money, both his own and that of his investors, to learn the lesson that people will not pay for boring, unoriginal shit from high school-caliber writers or amateurish videos starring a Who's Who of the wingnut D-list.

President Obama will consider legislation intended to crack down on ticket scalpers who operate automated software to snap up seats, after the House of Representatives passed it in a voice vote this afternoon, Billboard reports. Inspired in part by $1000-plus resale ticket prices for Hamilton (instant Radiohead sell-outs don't move the needle in Congress, apparently), the BOTS (or Better Online Ticket Sales) Act would make the use of ticket bots an "unfair and deceptive practice" under the Federal Trade Commission Act and thus subject to FTC investigation.
Congress's actions follow New York state's proposed legislation, which would make the use and operation of ticket bots class A misdemeanors. Up until now, digital hurdles like purchase limits and CAPCHA codes have proven largely ineffective against bots, which buy up tickets faster than mere mortals in order to re-sell them for profit on secondary markets like StubHub. Lin-Manuel Miranda may save this country yet.

New Utah Law Will Force Porn Providers to Include a Warning Label about Dangers to Children
A new Utah law that will force internet pornographers and other adult content providers to provide a warning label with their smut will go into effect, despite the objections of the adult entertainment industry.
Utah Governor Gary Herbert has allowed the measure to become law without his signature. Under the new law, pornographers who fail to provide a simple, one-sentence warning about the dangers that porn causes to minors will be subject to a $2,500 penalty per violation of the statute.
Republican sponsor Rep. Brady Brammer said he helped draft the legislation to raise awareness of the dangers of porn as it proliferates ubiquitously due to the internet, with children often being able to access hardcore content at the youngest of ages.
"We continue to have people complain about the prevalence of obscene materials and the impact on their children," Brammer said about his law.
"It's not censorship because it doesn't stop anything from being said or printed or published," he added.
The Free Speech Coalition (FSC), a trade organization that represents various smut-peddling organizations, disagrees with Brammer's assessment of the law. The FSC believes that the law is unconstitutional and will likely be overturned by the courts.
"This is the government coming in and trying to control something that should be handled by parents," said Mike Stabile, an FSC spokesman.
Utah declared pornography a public health crisis with a resolution approved in 2016, and more than a dozen states have followed suit in the years since. While advocates frame pornography as freedom of expression, recent revelations in the porn business have shown its predatory nature.
A top worldwide provider of streaming pornographic videos, PornHub has either wittingly or unwittingly allowed videos of child rape to proliferate on their massive platform:
One of the largest purveyors of pornography on the internet has found itself at the center of intense scrutiny, its content under the microscope for publishing and promoting films depicting sex trafficking as well as the rape of minors.
The heinous content is so pervasive — and the bare-minimum effort to stop it put forth by the owners of the website is so futile — one activist, Laila Mickelwait, is calling for the entire company, MindGeek, to be shut down…
Mickelwait, director of abolition for Exodus Cry, an advocacy organization focused on ending sexual exploitation and sex trafficking, is making the case for the website's termination after a man from Fort Lauderdale was arrested last fall, when authorities discovered nearly 60 explicit videos of a missing, underage teenager on the pornographic site. If that isn't enough, there is also a recent case involving 22 women who were deceived and coerced by pornographer Michael Pratt into performing sexual acts for videos that were then uploaded to the smut site. According to a federal indictment, Pratt, a wanted fugitive, produced child pornography and sexually trafficked a minor. And if that still isn't enough, a recent investigation by Vice into Pratt's enterprise found that the porn site's leaders simply don't care that their outlet hosts illegal content…
Drawing in north of 110 million visitors every single day, the porn site in question is "making money off of the exploitation, rape, and trafficking of hundreds if not thousands of women and girls who are victims, and their crime scenes are being hosted on their website," Mickelwait told Faithwire.
"They're profiting off of those crime scenes," she continued. "I think it's something that we've known all along, but right now, we have evidence of what is actually taking place."
Utah's law represents some initial push back against an all-pervasive industry that is poisoning Western culture.

NASA has released an upgraded version of its Global Landslide Hazard Assessment (LHASA) model and mapping tool, which identifies potential landslide activity anywhere between the poles in near real time.
LHASA Version 2 is a machine-learning-based model that analyzes a collection of individual variables and satellite-derived datasets to produce customizable nowcasts. These nowcasts are estimates of potential landslide activity in near real time for each 1km2 area between the poles.
The model factors in the slope of the land, distance to geologic faults, the makeup of rock, past and present rainfall, and satellite-derived soil moisture and snow mass data.
"The model processes all of this data and outputs a probabilistic estimate of landslide hazard in the form of an interactive map," said Thomas Stanley, Universities Space Research Association scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "This is valuable because it provides a relative scale of landslide hazard, rather than just saying there is or is not landslide risk. Users can define their area of interest and adjust the categories and probability threshold to suit their needs."
To teach the model, researchers input a table with all of the relevant landslide variables and many locations that have recorded landslides in the past. The machine learning algorithm takes the table and tests out different possible scenarios and outcomes; when it finds the one that fits the data most accurately, it outputs a decision tree. It then identifies the errors in the decision tree and calculates another tree that fixes those errors. This process continues until the model has learned and improved 300 times.
"The result is that this version of the model is roughly twice as accurate as the first version of the model, making it the most accurate global nowcasting tool available," said Stanley. "While the accuracy is highest – often 100% – for major landslide events triggered by tropical cyclones, it improved significantly across all inventories."
Version 1, released in 2018, was not a machine learning model. It combined satellite precipitation data with a global landslide susceptibility map to produce its nowcasts. It made its predictions using one decision tree largely based on rainfall data from the preceding week and categorized each grid cell as low, moderate or high risk.
LHASA Version 2 also adds a new exposure feature that analyzes the distribution of roads and population in each grid cell to calculate the number of people or infrastructure exposed to landslide hazards.

Four days after Palm Beach County's public schools reopened, the district reported its first two student coronavirus cases.
A student at Palm Beach Gardens High and another at Citrus Cove Elementary in Boynton Beach were confirmed Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, before landing on the district's COVID-19 dashboard Thursday, officials told WLRN coverage partner the Palm Beach Post.
Their diagnoses triggered contact tracing by the Florida Department of Health, which is charged with contacting the parents of students who are deemed to have been in direct contact with the COVID-positive students, be it on the bus, in a classroom or elsewhere on campus.
The school district's Risk Management office alerts any staff affected, officials said.

On Sunday, January 9th, 1905, thousands of factory workers marched on Winter Palace in St. Petersberg, Russia. Most of them returned.
In the early 1900s, working conditions in Russia were deplorable. The citizens of Russia were living under a fascist dictatorship masquerading as a communist system. Working conditions quickly turned from lucrative, collaborative environments to glorified slave labor.
Not only were workers being forced to work 10 hour days (sometimes 15) 6 days a week, in 1904 workers stopped being compensated past their daily allowance of food and fuel. Workers were not permitted to observe holidays, take sick leave, or allowed to leave their workplaces at all.
The infrastructure of factory settings at the time was extremely poor, regularly causing workers to get sick and injured while they were present. Workers were regularly fined and docked for taking bathroom breaks or talking/singing while clocked in, with little to no opportunity to defend themselves.
Technically, every factory worker in Russia was being held captive strictly to bring money to the elite class, who did absolutely nothing but bask in their wealth.
A priest named Georgy Gapon led a military/worker sting in 1905. He masqueraded as a member of the working class, initially, to try and convince them that their treatment was just and fair in the eyes of God. Needless to say, the starving factory workers didn't hear that for one second.
Fortunately for them, Georgy Gapon didn't like what he was being paid to preach either. In fact, when the factory he was stationed in sacked 4 pregnant women because they weren't working as hard as expected, Georgy dropped his association with the military and he organized a strike for worker's rights. He drafted a petition to the factory owner elites for political reform and more rights for works, who were being terribly exploited. This petition got over 150,000 signatures from factory workers.
The factory owners did not respond well to these requests, so Gapon organized a peaceful march on the Winter Palace to present their strike details.
The factory owners coincidentally also owned major portions of the military, and they positioned a strike force on the top of the palace walls and roofs nearby. Although nobody knows whether a command was made, or a soldier couldn't keep their cool, the strike force opened fire on the protesters, killing 100 individuals and wounding roughly 200. To this day, this is the largest solo massacre that was organized by a government in any place on Earth.

text: Arthur Macdonald is a Canadian astrophysicist. Born August 29, 1943 in Sydney, Nova Scotia, he obtained his Master of Science degree from Dalhousie University in 1964 and shortly after received a PhD from the California Institute of technology. He is currently the director of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory Institute. He is most famous for proving neutrinos have mass. He did this by showing experimentally that they oscillate between different types of neutrinos (electron, muon and tau). After knowing that neutrinos oscillate though different types it is easy to show that they have mass: If they didn't the neutrinos would travel at the speed of light and wouldn't experience time (according to relativity). If this was true they wouldn't be able to oscillate between states, therefore they must have mass. He did this work in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, a facility located 2.1 km underground made to solve the solar neutrino problem, which it did. The results he obtained from working there were of 5 significance meaning a chance of statistical error are smaller than 1 in a 1 000 000. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2015 for that work (it was shared with Professor Takaaki Kajita). His contribution to society was the advancement of human knowledge, doing science for the sake of science itself. In hisown words ""We are very satisfied that we have been able to add to world's knowledge at a very fundamental level."He now holds theGordon and Patricia Gray Chair in Particle Astrophysicsin Queen's University.

Veritas Conference Champions Authentic Religious Freedom
FREE Catholic Classes
April 26, 2014 - 10:18 PDT
STEUBENVILLE, OH (April 26, 2014) - "In its fullest and most robust sense, religion is the human person's being in right relation to the divine, the more than merely human source or sources, if there be such, of meaning and value," said Dr. Robert George, Princeton University professor of jurisprudence, at the Truth, Conscience, and Religious Freedom Conference at Franciscan University of Steubenville.
George served as the keynote speaker for the April 4-5 conference, which featured renowned Catholic scholars who examined the state of religious freedom through the lens of the United States' founding, history, and constitutional principles.
George explained in his lecture, "The Nature and Basis of Religious Freedom," that in the ideal of perfect religion, people understand the body of truths about spiritual things, and fully order their lives so that they may share in the community of faith that is fully in line with these truths.
"The existential raising of religious questions, the honest identification of answers, and the fulfilling of what one sincerely believes to be one's duties in light of those answers are all parts of the human good of religion, a good whose pursuit is an indispensible feature of the comprehensive flourishing of a human being," George said.
George explained that this logic proves that man is intrinsically and by nature, a religious being. The flourishing of man's spiritual life is integral to his comprehensive well-being and fulfillment. This demands that man receives the liberty to pursue his own religious quest, and order his life to the religious truth he finds.
George cited the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which poses a legal U.S. test questioning whether a law, such as the HHS mandate, can violate religious freedom. The test holds that to justify a law that bears negatively on religious freedom, the law must be supported by a compelling state interest and represent the least restrictive or intrusive means of protecting or serving that interest.
"If the Supreme Court applies that test honestly, there is no way the government can win," George said, regarding the HHS mandate in the cases of Hobby Lobby and the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Additional conference speakers included: Randy Lee, Widener University Law School (Harrisburg); Gerard V. Bradley, Notre Dame Law School; Dr. Kevin Schmiesing, Acton Institute; and William Saunders, Esq., human rights lawyer, Washington, D.C.
In his talk "Thomas More, Dorothy Day, and Janis Joplin, and the Search for Religious Pluralism in America," Lee traced the role that freedom played in the lives of these three well-known figures. Leaving behind a life of radical secularism, Dorothy Day found freedom hidden in the tabernacle. St. Thomas More loved the life he led, but let it all go when he refused to condone King Henry VIII's divorce.
"Thomas More reminds us that integrity isn't integrity until it's bought at a price," Lee said.
Lee emphasized that freedom allows people to do the unthinkable, an opportunity that blues/rock singer Janis Joplin unsuccessfully tried to grasp. Lee said that when Christian singer Larry Norman toured with Joplin, she would sit concealed behind the curtain, listening to the message of God's love. However, she was unable to relinquish her doubts over her appearance, her talent, and her worth, and these doubts eventually took her life.
"Sometimes the curtain between us and God just seems a lot bigger than it really is," Lee said. "Sometimes we need a Savior to set us free."
The conference also included a panel discussion, "The Frontline in the Struggle for Religious Liberty in the U.S. Today," that featured Father Sean O. Sheridan, TOR, president of Franciscan University; Dr. Kurt Martens, The Catholic University of America and a consultant to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops; Jayd Henricks, director of the Congressional Liaison Office of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops; Kim Daniels, Esq., spokesperson for the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and religious liberty lawyer; and was moderated by Dr. Daniel R. Kempton, Franciscan University vice president for Academic Affairs.
Father Sheridan addressed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, particularly the HHS mandate, which requires Catholic institutions to provide insurance coverage that includes abortion-inducing drugs, contraception, and sterilization procedures.
He said that failure to comply with the HHS mandate for the University's 450 employees would cost Franciscan University nearly $16,450,000 in yearly penalty fines. Failure to provide healthcare at all would cost the University $900,000 annually.
In 2012, Franciscan University filed a complaint against the HHS mandate, as did many other Catholic universities. Franciscan University's case was dismissed in March of 2013. Currently, a grandfather clause is allowing the University to maintain its current healthcare plan, Father Sheridan said. However, he strongly emphasized that Franciscan University will never comply with the HHS mandate.
"We are basically in a holding pattern until we have to act and are faced with the decision of whether or not to comply--which we are not going to do--or face these fines, the penalties, that are inherent in the mandate provisions itself," Father Sheridan said.
The conference was co-sponsored by the Franciscan University Veritas Center for Ethics in Public Life and the Society of Catholic Social Scientists.
"Truth, Conscience, and Religious Freedom" was the Veritas Center's first annual conference. To receive information about next year's conference, contact Veritas Conference director Dr. Anne Hendershott, firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Australian Bar Association (ABA) is calling for national co-operation to tackle the alarming and disproportionate rates of Indigenous incarceration.
The ABA is proposing that mandatory sentencing laws – that have the biggest impact with minimum effect on Indigenous people – be amended or removed and that funds saved from housing prisoners be redirected into programs that rehabilitate and reduce recidivism (known as Justice Reinvestment).
A statement from ABA President Patrick O'Sullivan QC is published here, with permission, under the JustJustice series.
You can also listen to this interview on the ABC's The World Today program, in which he also supports the introduction of a Justice target under the Close the Gap strategy.
Patrick O'Sullivan writes:
Australia's Indigenous incarceration rate is one of the most challenging human rights issues facing the country today. The proportion of Indigenous prisoners has almost doubled over the 20 years since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (RCADIC) and is a matter of deep concern to the Australian Bar Association.
I met this week with the Federal Attorney-General George Brandis QC to discuss the ABA's proposals and to encourage the Federal Government to commit to action that will deliver better justice outcomes for all. I will also meet with other State Attorney's General throughout the year, where this issue will continue to be a high priority for the ABA.
The current situation is that:
- Incarceration rates of Indigenous Australians are at least 16 times higher than the rate for non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Australians.
- Indigenous children between 10-14 years of age are 30 times more likely to be incarcerated than their non-Indigenous peers.
- Indigenous women are almost 20 times more likely to be incarcerated than non-Indigenous women.
Across the country, Indigenous people comprise more than a quarter of the prison population despite only accounting for almost 3 per cent of the national population. The situation is amplified in the Northern Territory where the rate of indigenous people in prison is closer to 90 per cent.
It is a shocking fact that an Indigenous young person who has served a prison sentence is more likely to return to prison than finish school. And on any given night in Australia, over half of all young people in detention are Indigenous.
A recent report by the Australian Institute of Criminology found a key factor contributing to the disproportionate Indigenous over-representation is that of State and Territory government bail and sentencing policies, particularly in jurisdictions with high populations of Indigenous people where mandatory sentencing laws operate, and individuals are often incarcerated for trivial offences.
For example, there have been numerous reported examples of anomalous or unjust cases where mandatory sentencing has applied in Australia, including in which:
- a 16-year-old with one prior conviction received a 28-day prison sentence for stealing one bottle of spring water
- a 17-year-old first time offender received a 14-day prison sentence for stealing orange juice and Minties
- an Aboriginal woman and first-time offender who received a 14-day prison sentence for stealing a can of beer
- a 15-year old Aboriginal boy received a 20-day mandatory sentence for stealing pencils and stationery. He died while in custody.
Mandatory sentencing appears a significantly attractive option to reduce crime and provide consistency in sentencing, however a lack of evidence exists as to the efficacy as a deterrent or the ability to decrease crime, particularly around minor theft, driving offences and minor assault.
We only need to look at the experience in the Northern Territory where property crime offences increased during the initial mandatory sentencing regime for such offences, and decreased after its repeal.
Mandatory sentencing contributes to a higher rate of imprisonment which often unnecessarily increases the costs in the administration of justice. Under mandatory sentencing laws, a defendant has no motivation to plead guilty as there is no chance of a reduced sentence. This means that potentially more contested cases appear before the courts requiring the use of extra resources and producing further court delays.
There are on average 30,000 prisoners in Australia at any one time, a quarter of them Indigenous, costing the country $3 billion a year. Even a 10 percent reduction in the Indigenous imprisonment rate would save more than $10 million a year.
The Australian Bar Association proposes the following:
- Amend or remove mandatory sentencing laws that have the biggest impact on Indigenous people but deliver minimum effects, such as minor assault, driving offences and minor theft.
- Review fine default imprisonment: Existing mechanisms for the enforcement of fines are unsatisfactory. Imprisonment in default of payment is unjust, unfair to poor offenders, dangerous to vulnerable offenders, expensive and disproportionate in its effect on indigenous offenders. (See the case study on Ms Dhu, below)
- Invest in Justice Reinvestment: channel money that would have been spent on housing prisoners into community projects aimed at keeping Indigenous offenders out of prison. Oregon (US) experienced a 72 per cent drop in juvenile incarceration after the state reinvested $241 million from prison spending to treatment programs and improved probation and parole services.
It makes moral and financial sense to reduce the number of Indigenous people in prison. The over-representation of Indigenous people incarcerated is a national disgrace. It is time to take action that addresses the problem and delivers better justice outcomes for Indigenous Australians and the country as a whole.
Gloria – assault offences
The Territory Government increased minimum jail times for offenders while restricting judges' rights to suspend sentences for certain crimes. In 2014, a young woman and mother of four 'Gloria' faced jail. She admitted to drunkenly hitting another woman who taunted her about the death of her mother. Under the Territory's new laws, every first-time offender convicted of a violent offence faces three months in jail. It's 12 months for repeat offenders. Magistrates' hands have been tied. 'Gloria' has only appeared in court once before for a minor offence. Before the new laws were brought in, she most likely would have been released with a fine.
Driving offences
In courts across Australia, magistrates routinely issue fines and disqualifications for people charged with unlicensed driving. But for many Indigenous people, these court appearances can be the first step towards jail. In NSW alone, recent figures show more than 1,000 Indigenous people were doing prison time for offences related to unlicensed driving.
Eamonn – traffic violations
An Indigenous man first came to the attention of police when he was young for driving without a licence. Then when he was 16 he went for his licence test and started driving around and racing cars. He was charged under his father's surname but the name on his birth certificate was different. He did not know as he could not read. He was disqualified from driving.
Years later, believing his disqualification was served, he approached the Roads and Traffic Authority and was given the all clear and passed his test. Later, the police pulled him over alleging he did not have a licence. The man showed his licence from the RTA to the police and the police refused to believe him, stating he was still disqualified under another name. He was further charged with a driving offence and, under the mandatory sentencing laws, was sent to jail and disqualified from driving until 2022.
Ms Dhu – fine default imprisonment
Ms Dhu was arrested by police to be imprisoned for four days in August 2014 for unpaid fines totally $3622. Ms Dhu died two days into her incarceration at Western Australia's South Hedland Police Station.
In 2013, 1358 people were imprisoned for fine default and for no other reason. 16 percent of Indigenous people who entered prison that year were there only for fine default.

Talent Agency For Children: The child modelling industry is no longer restricted to a handful of brands and TV commercials. Gone are the days when the toddlers were only the ones who were expected to giggle or cry in front of the camera. Today, most brands, production houses, and casting agents are on the lookout for kids who can fit in different roles.
What earns brownie points for the child models is that they are not stereotyped or confined to a particular character, unlike the adults. Thus, there is room for experiment and improvement. However, all of this is only possible if you are in touch with the right people who have relevant contacts. Enter child talent agencies!
A talent agency dedicated to casing kids ensures that your child's claim to fame shall be smooth and hassle-free. Once you sign up with a talent agency, it becomes their responsibility to find you auditions, conduct occasional training sessions and negotiate with the production houses regarding timings of the shoot. If you are still apprehensive about getting in touch with an agency for your child, here are a few of the many perks you would be missing out on if you don't-
Table of Contents
Tracing down only suitable auditions
Sure, child modelling is the right choice for parents who are blessed with confident and happy kids who do not snap around strangers. But you must also remember that exposing your child to blinding camera lights and a gamut of random people is a journey that should take its own time. It makes no sense to keep your child waiting in queues for auditions that are not even for kids of his/her age. Thus, you need a talent agency that acts as a gatekeeper, thoroughly checking all the information before passing it to the parents. In this way, you will only be meeting people who will appreciate your child's talent.
Time management done right
If you keep fretting about the fact that your child will be burdened with responsibilities and will not be able to manage their time, do get in touch with an agency right away. Most child actors are professionals who glide through their academics and career. However, the support of a talent agency is of paramount importance. With the right agent for your assistance, negotiating contracts with the production houses will be easier.
Adequate training
A talent agency does not just bridge the gap between you and production houses but at the same time, also prepares your child so that they can claim what's due for them. Celebrities such as Nicholas Hoult polished their skills in their formative years with the training they received at their talent agencies. The point of hiring a talent agency is not just to find the right auditions but add more skills to your child's portfolio.
Nuances of the niche
If you are not a part of the industry, then there are chances that your perspective of the industry is based on how you see it as an audience. While sometimes it works in favour of your child, at times it may not. But why take a chance when you can simply consult an expert! A talent agency has professionals who have been in the industry and know their way with people that are apart. Thus, your child can benefit from their expertise. For instance, while some production houses require a portfolio shoot of the kids, others require random photos clicked in a natural environment. You must know which way to lead in order to increase your kid's chances of getting selected.
A well-established clientele
Signing up with a reputed talent agency ensures that you will be in touch with the best clientele. There are agencies that have Netflix and BBC as their clients and will ensure your child gets featured in some of the most acclaimed features and works. However, you must also take note of the fact that the clientele must go hand in hand with your professional commitments too. This implies that there is no use of signing up with Netflix if you are not willing for outdoor shoots.
Thus, with the right talent agency, you can actually reduce the hassles faced in turning acting into a lucrative career option for your child, without compromising on their health and academics.
