MrBenn wrote:This map has developed nicely, and is very clean and crisp. Getting a map to this stage is no mean feat, so you can be proud of your achievement over the past however-many-months :-p
Anyway, here's my take on the graphics - the intention here is to help you put some thought into making some tweaks to bring the map up to the next level... please take any criticism in the constructive manner in which I mean it
1. Territory Borders
For the most part, the borders are crisp and clear; but in some places there is pixellation/fuzziness (eg. Newton/Cloverdale).
In a couple of spots, the borders don't meet cleanly (eg. Boundary Bay/Burns Bog or Aldergrove/Campbell Valley/Glen Valley).
Where territory names overlap the borders, it might be worth moving some borders to make it more clear where the name blongs (eg you could redraw the bottom of UGC so it isn;t overlapped by the K of Kerrisdale; or in Edmonds, you could move the border to be above the text). There are countless examples of maps where the borders have been slightly distorted to assist legibility, and I think you may have to make some similar geographical sacrifices here
2. Territory Names
As mentioned before, there are a number of places where the text overlaps territory names. You could either resolve this by moving some borders slightly, reducing the font size a little, or possibly even finding a new font altogether?
Some of the text on pale areas of the map (Burnaby) is difficult to read. It might be worth playing around with an outer glow on the text instead of just a drop shadow.
3. Textures
The sea/rivers feels a bit fluffy - have a look at some other maps around (Charleston springs to mind) for some ideas of how to highlight the transition between land and water
In spite of the texture on the land, the map still feels very flat; the texture doesn't feel very 'landy'... it might be worth having a bit of a play around a bit...
4. Train Lines
The purple (pink?) line runs very close to the coast in the yellow area; if you can pull it away from the terrtory edge a little, it will be more obvious that the territry extends beneath it, and that the train line isn't a border. You could possibly add (or increase the distance) of the drop shadow, to make it feel more like the line is above the territory space.
The colouring you've used on Downtown is a little bit confusing, and really doesn;t help visibility of the army number. Consider extending the colour around parts of the circle edge (you could split it almost three ways) - check out the train lines on NYC to see how the double-line-stations are done on there; I'd suggest trying to emulate that style as much as possible as people should be familiar with that concept.
5. Title
A good title should feel like part of the map, and at the moment it feels like it doesn't really belong there and is just filling a convenient space. If you're happy with it, that's fine, but It would be nice to see if there's any way to make it come alive a little bit
6. Legend
The legend is broadly functional, although I'm not sure how easy it is to match up the coloured blobs with the region colours.
The train line symbols aren't clearly differentiated from the other blobs - at first I was looking for another railway line across the Coast Mountains
The order of regions on the legend doesn't seem to correspond with their positions on the map.
The ports symbol doesn;t do a great deal for me, and looks more like a snowflake - this is entirely subjective really I know (think?) you had an attack line over the sea in an earlier version, but it would be nice to see how a narrow dashed/dotted line works now - you could use the current border line colour instead of white?
7. The Small Map
The train lines (at least the stations) will have to be moved a little bit on the small map in order to keep the army numbers centered properly. At some point it would be helpful to see a small version (even if it's just a shrunken large one) to get an idea of any further adjustments that are going to be necessary
All in all, your doing well. Keep up the good work

Why Does this map not have a critiqueing like this one ???????? The graphics on vancouver is 100 times better than land and sea..

Just because regions are touching (which on most maps means you can go that way) doesn't mean you can on this one. There are no real indication that you can't - the arrows when you can cross are not enough.

Upcycled Home Décor
Contributed By: Melissa Davis
In this age of disposable goods, we're often left feeling as though we need more disposable income, just to keep up. No doubt the home goods market is a wash with stunning products to fulfill our every design whim. I often marvel at how the retail options have seemingly multiplied tenfold since I started designing, now nearly 2 decades ago. As a designer I love having lots to choose from, but I don't love how this all seems to feed into a perpetual need for newness.
There have been interesting psychological tests performed where one group is told to select a free poster to take home with the catch that once they pick, they can't change their mind. A second group is offered the same, only they are instructed that at any time they can come back and change to a different poster. The results revealed that when told you can have something different, you're never content with what you have. Those faced with a decisive choice, were really happy with their initial selections and had no desire to change it. With the peppering of options available now, what this all translates to is our constant hunger for change in our homes. It's near impossible to resist the itch, so rather than fight it, I'm going to help with the next most responsible bit of guidance.
Here are 4 quick and cool decorating fixes that cost between nothing and a few lattes. Keeping up with the Joneses has never looked better on your visa bill and I swear these frugal fixes are all designer approved!
Shipping Pallets
These roughly constructed wood pallets can be upcycled into everything from wall shelves, to privacy screens, with one of the coolest uses I've seen being a living wall, with cascading potted plants slipped between the slats. For young clients of mine, I used a double wide pallet as a headboard, finishing it with a simple cord and Edison bulb wrapped around as a side light. Their hipster hearts were in love with the results.
Vintage Suitcases
A great solution for extra storage hidden in plain view, a few vintage suitcases make a stylish and practical living room side table, or bedside surface. A great place to look for these is at the local second hand shops or better yet, your great aunt's attic!
Old Ladder
Old ladders are one of my favorite re-purposed pieces. Here I used it in a living room to hold extra blankets but they're also terrific in washrooms for a charming towel bar that can also double as extra towel storage, or slip magazines or newspapers over the rungs for a casual reading area, or powder room reads.
Grannie Chairs
I love crisp new furniture, especially in kitchens or eating areas. Big box stores have made it far more affordable as well, but too much new, leaves little room for the necessary imperfections that are the finishing touches. I love popping a vintage chair beside the bathtub to hold soaps or updating a pair of affordable found chairs with fresh new upholstery fabric like we did here. Looking for chairs with removable seat cushions means you can recover them yourself with a modest amount of fabric, and 30 minutes with a staple gun.

Methodology Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose The overall aim of this project was to conduct a national epidemiological study to determine prevalence and risk factors for elder mistreatment in community residing older adults, defined generally as physical, sexual, emotional, neglectful, or financial mistreatment of a person aged 60 years or older. A second goal was to determine whether proxy reports of mistreatment would yield prevalence estimates similar to those of older adult respondents themselves, thereby demonstrating the validity of an alternate method of assessing elder mistreatment. Study Design View help for Study Design The study was comprised of a telephone survey of older adults across the continental United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). The survey was administered via computer assisted telephone interview (CATI) script, and contained two separate interviews. The base interview was designed to be used directly with adults aged 60 years or older. The second, or proxy interview was designed to be used with individuals who lived with an older adult aged 60 or older (and may or may not fulfill caretaker duties). Given that the quota for proxy interviews was set at approximately 11 percent of the total sample, screening questions and algorithms were built into the first part of the script to identify households with elder adults, and determine who would be interviewed (adult or proxy). Whenever an index older adult (index defined as that person over age 60 who most recently had a birthday) was judged to be potentially unable to give informed consent the default response was to conduct a proxy interview. The proportion of older adult vs. proxy interviews was continually examined to maintain the 9:1 ratio. Individuals from 6,590 randomly selected households were interviewed. Of these households, interviews were collected from 6,052 older adults (target goal 4,000), and 538 individuals who lived with or cared for older adults, (target goal 500). Participants were interviewed via telephone in English or Spanish about a variety of mistreatment types and mistreatment risk factors, in addition to questions regarding health, social support, and demographics. Specific elder mistreatment categories included emotional, physical, sexual, financial, and neglect. Sample View help for Sample Based on the Current Population Survey conducted by the United States, Census Bureau, it was estimated that approximately 26 percent of households in the United States would have an adult over the age of 59 living at the residence. The number of those who would be impaired (i.e., unable to participate in the interview) was much smaller. Therefore efforts were made to ensure that at least 10 percent of the surveys were completed by proxy in the final dataset. The full-scale test targeted a total of 6,500 completed interviews, thus the proxy target was at least 650.The survey samples were based on a modified stratified random digit dialing (RDD) method, using an area probability/RDD sample rather than a single-stage/RDD sample. The sample was stratified by time zone within the continental United States (Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific) to better reflect population densities within each region.Once the sample had been geographically stratified with sample allocation proportionate to population distribution, a sample of assigned telephone banks was randomly selected from an enumeration of the Working Residential Hundreds Blocks of the active telephone exchanges within the region. The Working Residential Hundreds Blocks were defined as each block of 100 potential telephone numbers within an exchange that included 3 or more residential listings. (Exchanges with one or two listings were excluded because in most cases such listings represent errors in the published listings). The sampling frame for working hundreds blocks in all surveys using random digit dialing is restricted to land-line telephones since there are no public listings of cell phones. Further, federal law prohibits the use of auto-dialers in calling of cell phone numbers. Hence, any known cell phone banks and numbers ported from land-line to cell phone are systematically excluded from the RDD land-line samples.In the third stage sample, a two-digit number was randomly generated by computer for each Working Residential Hundreds Block selected in the second stage sample. This third stage sampling process is the RDD component. Every telephone number within the Hundreds Block has an equal probability of selection, regardless of whether it is listed or unlisted. The third stage RDD sample of telephone numbers was then dialed by SRBI interviewers to determine which were currently working residential household phone numbers. Non-working numbers and non-residential numbers were immediately replaced by other RDD numbers selected within the same stratum in the same fashion as the initial number. Ineligible households (e.g., no adult in the household, language barriers other than Spanish) were also immediately replaced. Non-answering numbers were not replaced until the research protocol was met.The sample construction process yielded a population-based, RDD sample of telephone numbers. The systematic dialing of those numbers to obtain a residential contact yielded a random sample of telephone households. The next step was to select eligible households within the total sample of working numbers. An adult respondent at each number drawn into the sampling frame was contacted about the composition of the household. Telephone numbers that yielded non-residential contacts such as businesses, churches, and college dormitories, were screened out. Only households, i.e., residences in which any number of related individuals or no more than five unrelated persons living together, were eligible for inclusion in the sample. This minimal screening was only to ascertain that the sample of telephone numbers reached by interviewers was residential households.A systematic selection procedure was used to select one designated respondent for each household sampled. First, the total number of age-eligible adults in the household was ascertained from a household informant. If there was only one eligible adult in the household that individual was the designated respondent. The "most recent/next birthday method" was used for within household selection among multiple eligibles.In cases where there was even the slightest indication that an older adult respondent was cognitively impaired, the interviewer attempted to use a proxy respondent. If the impaired older adult lived with more than one other person, the proxy was identified as the person living in the household who is closest to, or spends the most time with the adult. If the older adult lived alone, a proxy could be identified if they had face to face contact with the adult on a regular basis, that is, at least every other day. As mentioned, proxy respondents were also sought in order to main the 9:1 proportion outlined above. Thus, the proxy selection procedure was also applied to a random selection of households where the older adult was not impaired to ensure there was enough proxy interviews in the completed sample to make meaningful comparisons.A total of 6,590 randomly selected households were surveyed. Of these households, interviews were collected from 6,052 older adults (target goal 4,000), and 538 individuals who lived with or cared for older adults, here classified as "proxy" respondents (target goal 500).

Demographic characteristics of the elderly adult and household included gender, race/ethnicity, age, marital status, education level, employment status, and income. Regarding recent health, the survey asked how elderly adults would rate their health during the past four weeks, whether physical health problems limited their usual physical activities, how much difficulty they had doing their daily work, both at home and away from home, because of their physical health, how much bodily pain and energy they had, how much their physical health or emotional problems limited their usual social activities with family or friends, how much they had been bothered by emotional problems such as feeling anxious, depressed or irritable, and how much personal or emotional problems kept them from doing their usual work, school or other daily activities. Prior traumatic stressors were measured by asking respondents whether they had ever experienced a serious accident at work, in a car, or somewhere else in which they thought they might be seriously injured or killed, whether they had ever experienced a tornado, hurricane, flood, major earthquake, or other natural disaster in which they thought they might be seriously injured or killed, whether they had ever seen someone seriously injured or violently killed, and whether they had ever experienced any other situation in which they were permanently physically harmed or had a life threatening illness. Social support was measured by asking respondents how often someone was available to help them if they were confined to bed, give them good advice about a crisis, get together with them for relaxation, talk to them about their problems, and love them and make them feel wanted. In addition respondents were asked what type of programs or services they participated in.Emotional mistreatment was measured by asking respondents whether anyone has ever verbally attacked, scolded, or yelled at them so that they felt afraid for their safety, threatened or intimidated, whether anyone ever made them feel humiliated or embarrassed, whether anyone ever forcefully or repeatedly asked them to do something so much that they felt harassed or coerced into doing something against their will, whether someone close to them ever completely refused to talk to them or ignored them for days at a time, who committed the mistreatment, and whether it was reported to the police. Physical mistreatment was measured by asking respondents whether anyone has ever hit them with their hand or object, slapped them, or threatened them with a weapon, whether anyone ever tried to restrain them by holding them down, tying them up, or locking them in their room or house, whether anyone ever physically hurt them so bad that they suffered some degree of injury, including cuts, bruises, or other marks, who committed the mistreatment, and whether it was reported to the police. Sexual mistreatment was measured by asking respondents whether anyone has ever made them have sex or oral sex by using force or threatening to harm them or someone close to them, whether anyone has ever forced them to undress or expose themselves when they didn't want to, whether anyone has ever taken pictures of them with their clothes partially or completely taken off when they didn't want them to, who committed the mistreatment, and whether it was reported to the police. Financial exploitation was measured by asking respondents whether someone helps them take care of their finances, or makes decisions about their money and property, either with or without their approval, how this person is related to respondent, whether this person has ever been in trouble with the law, whether they ask for permission before deciding to spend their money or sell their property, whether they have ever forged their signature in order to sell their property or to get money from their accounts, whether the person has ever forced or tricked them into signing a document so that they would be able to get some of their money or possessions, whether that person, or anyone else they are close to, has ever stolen their money or took their things for themselves, their friends, or to sell, and whether a stranger has ever spent their money or sold their property without their permission. Finally neglect was measured by asking respondents whether they need someone to help take care of them, how many people help care for them, and whether that person is reliable. Response Rates View help for Response Rates The American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) cooperation rate 3 was 69.1 percent for the sample and the response rate 3 was 47.8 percent.

In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:Standardized missing values.Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes. Analysis Information Weight View help for Weight The weighting plan for the survey was a two-stage sequential. The first stage in the sample weighting procedure was designed to correct for procedures that yielded unequal probability of selection within sampled households. Although the survey was designed as a population survey, only one eligible person per household could be interviewed (because multiple interviews per household are burdensome and introduce additional design effects into the survey estimates). A respondent's probability for selection is inverse to the size (number of other eligible adults) of the household. Hence, the base weight was equal to the number of eligible respondents within the household. The second step in the weighting process was to correct the study design for non-response bias by dividing the expected population distribution, based on Census projections, by the base-weighted sample distribution for age and gender. Specifically, the post-stratification weight corrected the sample to the cell distribution of the population for the eight separate age groups (60-61, 62-64, 65-66, 67-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, and 85 or older) by gender using the 2000 Census Population estimates for Age and Sex.

This company has introduced even over 300 variations of accessories products. This company, currently known as the Smith & Wesson was founded by Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson. Leaders of the Smith & Wesson had to faced with their financial difficulties, however they were forced to sell their company to a shirt producer by the name of Oliver Winchester. In 1866, using the original lever action design created by the Smith & Wesson, Winchester's company emerged as the famous Winchester Repeating Arms Co. The Smith & Wesson formed their second partnership in 1856 to manufacture a small revolver which was designed to fire the Rimfire cartridge they patented in 1854.
The Smith & Wesson secured their patents for the revolver to prevent other producers from producing a cartridge revolver what was giving the young company a very lucrative business. Actually, the two most important customers for the new revolver were the United States Cavalry, that purchased 1,000 units for usage on the Western Frontier and the Russian Imperial Government.

- Choose light meals.
- Do exercises in your seat (see below).
- Walk regularly through the cabin, when possible.
- Consult your doctor prior to your trip if you suffer from chronic disorders or airsickness.
- Have gum or candy ready for take-off and landing to reduce the effect of changes in air pressure.
- Low humidity in the cabin can exacerbate allergic or asthmatic conditions. Take the necessary precautions, if necessary.
Exercises on boardDoing some exercises during your flight helps you to arrive fit at your destination. Besides taking a walk through the cabin, here is what else you can do:
- Exercises for your lower body
- Foot circles: Lift your feet off the floor and move your toes in a circle, one foot moving clockwise and the other anticlockwise. Then change direction. (15 seconds each)

- Exercises for your upper body
- Shoulder rolls: Raise your shoulders, then roll them forward, downward and back in a smooth movement.
- Arm bends: Start with your elbows on the armrest and hands pointed forward so that your elbow makes a 90-degree angle. Take turns moving your hands toward your chest and back again. (30-second sets)

text: Böcklin lived in the age of Realism and consequently his pictures also depict a three-dimensional reality – however, they do not offer a portrayal of the visible world; rather, like a Romantic, he strives to evoke inner realities. Primal fears and dreams find expression in evocative landscapes and fantastic mythical forms. His use of vibrant colouration and dramatic lighting made him a precursor of "Jugendstil"; his painting The Awakening of Spring in the Kunsthaus with a cloven-hoofed Pan playing the flute places him at the head of this movement.

Skullcandy presents the 2013 TransAm Finals at Park City
Words By Adam Kisiel
Park City is not just a clever name for a resort hell bent on building consistently awesome park features. Jeremy Cooper and the Park City Park Crew stepped into the TransWorld SNOWboarding TransAm presented by Skullcandy with one goal in mind, to give the riders the best experience and build the best park of the tour. It was under blue skies and warm spring temperatures that 105 riders stood at the top of the TransAm skate bowl set up. Cooper and Crew were excited, but the look on all the rider's faces was pure elation. TransAm Finals went off like a stick of dynamite, spectators had to step back from the blast as all the first place finishers from across the nation rode their hearts out against the best rider's in the Beehive State.
Red Gerard was a clear winner for the Pint Sized Ripper Award, but his riding was larger than life. With huge airs over the Anon Optics pyramid, Red couldn't be stopped. He was even still strapped in for awards and dropped in to pick up his prize. Cody Lee stood atop of a heap of riders and dropped the heaviest tricks over the Muscle Milk Tower of Triumph. Lee spun, stalled, and pressed his way to the top of the podium and his second overall championship title. Mariah Dugan made a clear statement about how she plans to continue pushing women's snowboarding to another level. Having won several other individual stops and taking the overall women's champion title again this year, Dugan was not backing down from anything. She lit up the Coal Headwear combination feature like a fireworks display on the fourth of July. Lily Callabrese made her own statement to live free or die as she launched out of the white wash of the Sanuk standing wave that had a tilted c-rail on the lip. Oliver Dixon was all over the skate bowl set up with a consistent line from top to bottom and finished out his run on the Skullcandy cassette tape. Dixon hit fast forward on the cassette and found himself in second place at the end of the day.
Look up class in the dictionary and you will see a picture of AJ Lawson. He is a true professional and never stops smiling. His fast footwork on the Giro Helmets down rail was unmatched and after a couple podiums at previous stops he took third overall for the tour. The coping of the bowl was littered with all of these aforementioned features and in one of the tight corners the Zumiez orange couch was glowing. Theresa Kewley continued to live the good life and cleaned up the couch throughout the day. Kewley knocked the change out of the cushions and took third overall for the gals. Jeff Hopkins was staying wild in the contest, but his actions were over the top through the western double doors into the Ride Snowboards "Get Buck Wild" feature. He would take home the Zumiez Best Trick Award for his antics on the pole jam near the bottom of the bowl.
The riders headed south of the border with an after party that was catered with burritos. Top winners could also get fully wrapped with custom High Cascade Snowboard Camp backpacks, custom TransAm Coal Beanies, custom TransAm Skullcandy Cassette and Aviator headphones, Ride snowboards, Anon goggles, Wend wax, Zumiez gift cards, and Sanuk footwear. Muscle Milk gave out 200 big ones for the Muscle Milk Stand Out Rider Award. Ride Snowboards is sending the first place guys winner to the Ride Shakedown in Montreal. TransWorld SNOWboarding awarded heavy metal Epiphone guitar trophies to the overall winners. Rick the founder of Skullcandy pulled two Snurfers of the wall in the office to give to the overall winners. The girl's top winner was set up in head to toe Ride Snowboards gear. All in all, the winners had to rent a truck to haul all the prize winnings back to their home states. The TransWorld SNOWboarding TransAm Tour presented by Skullcandy is not finished proving that snowboard contests should be about fun and riding with your friends towards positivity for the up and coming young riders. We will be back again next season with a full line up of park features you have never seen before so cross your fingers we make it to your neck of the woods.

Jonathan Safran Foer: "Here I Am: A Novel" | Talks at Google
Jonathan Safran Foer is the author of two bestselling, award-winning novels, "Everything Is Illuminated" and "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," and a bestselling work of nonfiction, "Eating Animals" . His most recent novel is called "Here I am" (2016).
While promoting his latest book in Cambridge, Foer sits down with Googler/Wazer Yigal Petreanu to talk about his illustrious career. Foer discusses his writing process, e-books, communication breakdown, yellow globes, and Leonard Cohen.
TimesTalks: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Join us for an evening in celebration of literary sensation and feminist icon Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and her newly released book, "Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions." From Adichie, recipient of a 2008 MacArthur Fellowship and author of the best–selling titles "Americanah" and "We Should All Be Feminists," comes a powerful new statement about feminism today, written as a letter to a friend. A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a dear friend from childhood, asking her how to raise her baby girl as a feminist. "Dear Ijeawele" is Adichie's letter of response. "Dear Ijeawele" goes right to the heart of sexual politics in the 21st century, and is sure to start a new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today. Adichie will be in conversation with Radhika Jones, The New York Times's editorial director, books.
Ariel Levy with Lena Dunham: The Rules Do Not Apply
Ariel Levy, New Yorker journalist and author of the new memoir The Rules Do Not Apply, is joined by Lena Dunham for an essential, free-ranging discussion about feminism, the shifting forces of our culture, what's changing now and what can never change.
Like many of her generation, Levy was raised to resist conventional rules — about work, about love and about womanhood. Her story of building a life then watching it all fall apart when disaster struck is already being acclaimed as a book that will inspire and change readers. Dunham herself writes "I am the better for having read it." Don't miss the opportunity to hear from these two extraordinary women. Recorded March 17, 2017 at 92nd Street Y.
Carol Sanger: About Abortion
Please join Carol Sanger, author of About Abortion: Terminating Pregnancy in 21st Century America, along with fellow authors and activists Amelia Bonow, Martha Plimpton, and Regina Mahone, for a panel discussion of the state of abortion rights in America.
In a 2010 Guardian column, writer Lindy West contemplated the stigma surrounding abortion: "I live in a progressive city, I have a fiercely pro-choice social circle and family, I write confessionally about myself for a living. . . And I know how all [in my social circle] feel about abortion, policy wise. But I don't know who has had one, and they don't know about mine." West's personal insights reflect a national trend: abortion is such a contentious subject in American society that most women are reticent to discuss their own experience.
Regulatory legislature treats abortion as a mistake, rather than a right. Women are forced to have ultrasounds and undergo "educational briefings" that many opponents view as scare tactics. In her book, About Abortion: Terminating Pregnancy in Twenty-First Century America, legal scholar Carol Sanger tackles these issues and more by making connections between abortion law and cultural opinion. Carol looks forward toward medical progress and the advent of more free speech on the subject of abortion, she hopes that the decision of whether or not to become a mother will be treated with as much respect as any other serious choice in a woman's life. In the current political climate of the United States, marked by revived determination to close clinics, defund Planned Parenthood, and reverse Roe v. Wade, Sanger's original and much-needed book is more important than ever.
Carol Sanger is the author of About Abortion: Terminating Pregnancy in 21st Century America and a professor at Columbia Law School where she teaches courses on family law, contracts, abortion and motherhood. She has talked about About Abortion on all kinds of programs including WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show, the Oxford University Human Rights Hub, and Sex Gets Real and is regularly interviewed about what is next with the Trump/Pence campaign against women's reproductive health and rights.

Class, Race, and Marxism: New York book launch
David Roediger in conversation with Jordan T. Camp, Christina Heatherton, and Donna Murch.
New York launch of David Roediger's latest book, "Class, Race, and Marxism," at Verso Books in Brooklyn on June 30, 2017.
Since the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the political fault-lines opened up by the 2016 US elections, the question of the relationship between race, class, and politics in modern societies has dominated the media landscape.
In this new collection of pathbreaking essays, Roediger tackles the question of race and its relationship to capitalism, and through this challenges the way we thinking about whiteness and racism, intersectionality, solidarity, and the future of organizing against racism.
David Roediger's work over the past 25 years has set the agenda for work on the constructions race in US history. His books have defined the field of Critical Whiteness Studies, and been hailed by the likes of Angela Davis, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Paul Gilroy, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.
In "Class, Race, and Marxism," Roediger argues that racial division is not only part of the history of capitalism but is fundamental to the nature of work and capitalism itself. Class, Race, and Marxism is an essential guide to current discussions about race and class that provides useful histories for forging solidarity.
About David Roediger:
David Roediger is the Foundation Distinguished Professor of American Studies and History at Kansas University. Among his books are "Our Own Time: A History of American Labor and the Working Day" (with Philip S. Foner), "How Race Survived US History: From Settlement and Slavery to the Obama Phenomenon," and "The Wages of Whiteness: Race and the Making of the American Working Class."

Dr Willie Parker, "Life's Work"
Dr. Parker is one of the few physicians offering abortion services to women in Alabama, and his Pink House is the very last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi.

Shanthi Sekaran: "Lucky Boy" | Talks at Google
Shanthi Sekaran's new novel, Lucky Boy, tells a story of borders: borders between countries, between classes, between possibility and impossibility, and borders of the body. Lucky Boy, follows two stories: that of Soli Castro-Valdez, an undocumented Mexican woman; and that of Rishi and Kavya Reddy, an Indian-American couple who live in Berkeley, California. Rishi Reddy works as an air quality engineer at Weebies, a fictionalized Silicon Valley behemoth. It wrangles fiction to explore the ways in which the tech revolution reaches into areas of life not often associated with the tech industry. It interrogates the American Dream, boldly studying our country's privileging of some immigrants over others. Booklist calls it a "deeply compassionate exploration of the...insidious ways in which class divides us...and the explosive touch-point of today's headlines regarding illegal immigration, (with) penetrating insights into the intangibles of motherhood and, indeed, all humanity.
Is there a coherent ideology at the core of Silicon Valley?
"It is inescapable that those determining the shape of our choices when engaging with Information Technology are physically and culturally located in a very small region. Apple, Facebook, and Google are within a stones throw of each other, and even though they recruit from all over the world, there is an astonishing physic self-similarity among the people who work there, whatever their national or cultural origin." - Adam Greenfield, author of Radical Technologies
