PW Best Summer Books of 2018
Publishers Weekly recently announced their Best Summer Books of 2018, including these 9 Macmillan titles:
Top 10 (full list)
NEW POETS OF NATIVE NATIONS, edited by Heid E. Erdrich
Rather than anthologize contemporary and emerging authors alongside classic or familiar ones, Erdrich introduces readers to 21 Native poets whose writing was first published after 2000. It's a simple, powerful framing and all that is needed to introduce readers to a group of writers whose breadth and diversity of styles represent some of the best of contemporary poetry today. —Alex Green, New England correspondent
Fiction (full list)
BABY TEETH by Zoje Stage
Stage's debut novel is a deviously fun domestic horror story that takes child-rearing anxiety to demented new heights. Frustrated stay-at-home mom Suzette attempts to pacify her seven-year-old daughter Hanna, who adores her father but distrusts Suzette, has dangerous tantrums, and only speaks in the voice of a 17th-century girl who was burned at the stake. As Suzette tries to connect with Hanna, Hanna plots ways to "step up her game against Mommy."
BROTHER by David Chariandy
Set during the summer of 1991 in the Park, a housing complex in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, Chariandy's powerful and incendiary novel tracks the coming of age of two mixed-heritage brothers. Sensitive Michael fumbles through his first relationship while volatile Francis becomes obsessed with the burgeoning hip-hop scene. Chariandy imbues his resilient characters with strength and hope.
KUDOS by Rachel Cusk
Cusk's final book in a trilogy (after OUTLINE and TRANSIT) expertly concludes the story of protagonist British author Faye. Like its predecessors, the novel eschews chronicling Faye's life via traditional narrative, instead filling each page with conversations with and monologues by the many writers, journalists, and publicists she meets during her travels. As always, Cusk's ear for dialogue and language is stunning. The author ends Faye's trilogy with yet another gem.
Mystery (full list)
CAGED by Ellison Cooper
In her debut thriller, Cooper, an anthropologist who has worked as a murder investigator in Washington, D.C., channels "equal parts Kathy Reichs and Thomas Harris" (according to Lisa Gardner). In the basement of a D.C. house, a woman is found dead in a cage—left to slowly starve to death in a cold and calculating experiment with no clear motive. readmoreremove

NYTBR's 10 Best Books of 2017 & Editor's Picks
HOORAY! Two nonfiction titles made the New York Times Book Review's "10 Best Books of 2017" list and five more (plus two honorable mentions) are New York Times Critics' Top Books of 2017!
LOCKING UP OUR OWN: Crime and Punishment in Black America by James Forman Jr.
A former public defender in Washington, Forman has written a masterly account of how a generation of black officials, beginning in the 1970s, wrestled with recurring crises of violence and drug use in the nation's capital. What started out as an effort to assert the value of black lives turned into an embrace of tough-on-crime policies — with devastating consequences for the very communities those officials had promised to represent. Forman argues that dismantling the American system of mass incarceration will require a new understanding of justice, one that emphasizes accountability instead of vengeance.
PRAIRIE FIRES: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Caroline Fraser
Fraser's biography of the author of "Little House on the Prairie" and other beloved books about her childhood during the era of westward migration captures the details of a life — and an improbable, iconic literary career — that has been expertly veiled by fiction. Exhaustively researched and passionately written, this book refreshes and revitalizes our understanding of Western American history, giving space to the stories of Native Americans displaced from the tribal lands by white settlers like the Ingalls family as well as to the travails of homesteaders, farmers and everyone else who rushed to the West to extract its often elusive riches. Ending with a savvy analysis of the 20th-century turn toward right-wing politics taken by Wilder and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, Fraser offers a remarkably wide-angle view of how national myths are shaped.

TEARS WE CANNOT STOP: A Sermon to White America by Michael Eric Dyson
One of Kirkus Reviews's Most Anticipated Books of 2017! As the country grapples with race with anguish and anger at a level not seen since the 60s, one of America's leading black voices speaks out honestly and provocatively to white America. "TEARS WE CANNOT STOP is a fiery sermon, and an unabashedly emotional, personal appeal. The result is one of the most frank and searing discussions of race I have ever read." — New York Times Book Review
LILLIAN BOXFISH TAKES A WALK by Kathleen Rooney
A February 2017 Indie Next pick with two starred reviews! "Inspired by Margaret Fishback, poet and Macy's ad-writing phenom of the 1930s, Rooney imagines an extraordinary walk through the streets of New York City on the last night of 1984, one that triggers a flood of memories for fictional ad woman Lillian Boxfish. Elegantly written, Rooney creates a glorious paean to a distant literary life and time—and an unabashed celebration of human connections that bridge the past and future." — Publishers Weekly, boxed & starred review

Published at Monday, August 12th, 2019 - 01:42:52 AM. Wedding Dresses. By Adalhard Keller.
It is common to find more weddings happening in summer when compared to the other seasons. Summer beach weddings are very popular among the couple-to-be as it can make the wedding a memorable and relaxing event. Being wed on the beach is considered very romantic and the couple would want to look their best for this special day. Choosing a summer beach wedding dress is not an easy task, as you need to consider more factors than a wedding dress to be worn indoors. Shopping for a beach wedding dress is a little bit different to shopping for traditional wedding attire. Find below a few tips that will help you to choose the right wedding dress for that special occasion on the beach.
Browns and beiges are becoming more popular as wedding dress colours, especially when choosing a vintage wedding dress.

Free-to-Play app using Square-Enix's blockbuster Final Fantasy XV as a top coat just doesn't do it for me
Some Final Fantasy apps are totally worth the time and a little bit of money – Final Fantasy Record Keeper and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius come to mind – but I can't recommend Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire unless you're willing to spend real money or not have fun at all. It's your choice. The time element is too powerful in this game, requiring you to spend money to speed up the process to compete with the other whales sharing the game space with you.
Not that that alone is bad if the game is compelling, but it isn't. The app uses FFXV as a veneer but otherwise is similar to Clash of Clans and other smartphone strategy games. A certain type of gamer will love this app and, as a dedicated Final Fantasy fan, I will probably invest more time into it than I will ever want to admit. But for most people it is pass.
[ad name="DMGG In-Content Responsive Ad"]
The game has beautiful music and passable graphics. It captures the atmosphere of Final Fantasy in some places but the gameplay just isn't there. Again, definitely worth a try for gamers willing to spend the money to not have to spend the time. A lot of potential, for sure, and maybe over time with some updates the game will be worth your time.
The ties to FFXV are really tangential so if that entry alone brings you to download the app, depending on your level of love for FFXV, you might either be sorely disappointed or happy.
The best thing about these apps is that they improve with time and FFXV: A New Empire is one of those for sure. It has the powerful Final Fantasy name behind it and with Square Enix's new focus on mobile content things can only go up from here.
Get in on the ground floor if you wanna start the time sink before things get easy.

Do you want to choose a professional knife sharpener? It is possible. If you browse through Sydney and Melbourne, you will see that there are many of them. Thus, it is left for you to do a proper home work, so that you can choose the right knife sharpener.
Some individuals and companies are charging comparable prices, while at the same time providing high quality services, look for such companies right now. Before you send your knife to any sharpening agency, try to be well-informed about their terms and conditions of service.
The information below will help you to choose a formidable knife sharpening service provider.
Know your knife
Before sending your knife out to a knife sharpening provider, it is really necessary to know the type of knife you have- before thinking of getting it sharpened. This will surely:
Types of kitchen knife
Basically, there are two kinds of kitchen knife- we have the:
Each of these types have their own blades, distinctive shapes and sizes. The main difference between them is their steel.
Let us try to explain them briefly
German style knife
They are made of softer, thicker and tougher blades- this means that they can only be sharpened at a wider angle.
Japanese-style blades
They are thinner, brittle and harder grade of steel. Thus, they can only be sharpened at a steeper angle. Some of them can be bevelled like a chisel at one side. Others have asymmetrical bevels. Thus, any approach towards sharpening Japanese-style blades must be highly customized.
It is important to note here that this is really a new addition in the world of knives. The main knives that people have are German-style blades- that is the main one that is mostly in use in the West.
What to do?
If you are sending your knife to a knife sharpening service provider, make sure that the company is experienced in Japanese-style blades, if your knife is Japanese-style blade, but if it is not, then it is not a big deal because most companies are familiar with it.
The keyword here is that the company must be familiar with the brand of knife you plan sending to them- be careful because there are really some unscrupulous knife sharpening outfits out there that are claiming they can sharpen anything. Take time to do your research, so that you don't enter into the wrong hands.
How many days will it take?
The minutes, hours or days it will take to sharpen your knife varies from one company to another. Some are more experienced than others- thus, a credible company may sharpen your knife on or before 24 hours. So, this is the type of service for knife sharpening in Melbourne or Sydney that you really need check out their service description and give them a call.
And sometimes after sharpening the knife, you will see that the knife will be blazingly well-sharpened. Take time also to visit the internet, and read about some of the knife sharpening outfits out there, read their terms and conditions of service plus customer feedbacks- this will give you an idea whether to send your knife to them or not.

TOKYO, May 21. /TASS/. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe plans to discuss cooperation with Moscow in resolving the North Korea nuclear issue, as well as economic and humanitarian cooperation on the South Kuril Islands, during his upcoming visit to Russia, as he himself said at a meeting involving leaders of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party and cabinet members on Monday.
"I would like to advance the issue concerning joint economic cooperation on the Northern Territories [which is what Japan calls Russia's South Kuril Islands - TASS] and humanitarian measures, including the arrangement of flights for former residents willing to visit their ancestors' graves. I would also like to confirm cooperation in resolving the North Korea issue," Abe said as sited by the Kyodo news agency.
Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, in turn, pointed out at a press conference in Tokyo that the arrangement of charter flights to the South Kuril Islands was being discussed with Russia.
Japan's government announced earlier that Abe would make a visit to Russia on May 24-27. On May 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Japanese prime minister, French President Emmanuel Macron and International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde are expected to participate in the plenary meeting of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). After that, as Russian Federation Council (upper house of parliament) Speaker Valentina Matviyenko said in late April, Abe will attend the opening ceremony of the Russia-Japan Year of Cultural Exchange, set to be held in Moscow's Bolshoi Theater on May 26.

In its latest update to the Office 365's suite of apps, software giant Microsoft revealed support for MacOS Mojave's Dark Mode, which will let users write papers or create spreadsheets without straining their eyes.
Since Apple debuted Mojave's Dark Mode this fall, many software companies have updated their apps to allow for a more muted version instead of the usual white background. Microsoft also rolled out a number of smaller changes to its apps, but the Dark Mode is the most visible change to Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook.

"Go easy on your eyes with Dark Mode," Microsoft wrote of the update. "A dark background is easier on the eyes in low-light environments."
The update was announced at the end of October on Twitter by Akshay Bakshi, a Microsoft Office product manager. Beta testers have had access to the Office 365 Dark Mode since then, and Microsoft officially rolled it out to all users this week.
Among other improvements, Microsoft also said iPhone users will be able to insert a photo directly into a PowerPoint slide and Outlook will allow you to share your calendar with others.
Although some thought Microsoft would restrict the Dark Mode to Office 365 subscribers, it have made it available to all users, even those who purchased Office 2019 as a one-off without the full Office 365 subscription.
Microsoft brought Dark Mode to Outlook.com in July due to rabid user demand. In a blog post at the time, Microsoft touted the usefulness of Dark Mode and its effect on how people used devices.
"Dark Mode is a more-pleasant way to read your Outlook.com email if you prefer interfaces that are less bright or if you are in a low-light environment," it wrote.
"One of the most crucial principles we had when designing Dark Mode was to minimize the amount of eye strain that people felt. Many email clients on the web today advertise a dark mode, but we learned from interviews with others and our own usage that having the reading pane be on-light while the rest of the interface was left on-dark often made the experience worse than if the full screen were left on-light."
They resolved the problem by recoloring email messages to "preserve the readability of the original message and preserve the intent of the original sender."
As we head into 2019, expect even more companies to allow users to switch between dark and light modes as more studies come out about the effect of screen time on users' eyes.

There are times when students must miss school. They may be sick, on vacation or tending to a family emergency. The hope for most parents is that their child will be able to catch up on missed work and there will be options to minimize any impact that the absence has on a student's performance.
Unfortunately, this doesn't always happen. In some cases, students miss so much school that they fall too far behind to catch up. They might fail classes or even have to repeat a grade. And while many people might assume these actions are reserved for truant or misbehaving students, they can and do affect students with developmental disabilities.
Twice as likely to be chronically absent
A recent study found that students with disabilities including attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, developmental delays, autism and intellectual disabilities were roughly twice as likely to miss 15 or more school days when compared to other students.
The report also found that the more disabilities a child has, the more likely it is that he or she will miss at least 15 days of school.
Making a difficult situation worse
Often, these absences stem from a child's illness or injury. They may need to go to the doctor or stay home to recover from medical care.
However, as we discussed in our last post, there are other reasons why students with disabilities miss school, including suspensions and expulsions. As we stated in that post, a study revealed that students with disabilities were also missing a disproportionate number of school days due to these disciplinary actions.
Addressing absenteeism constructively
Some absences are unavoidable and there may be no reasonable way to make up for those missed days. However, when absences stem from a child's disability or unfair actions by the school, there is room for discussions on how to prevent a child from suffering setbacks unnecessarily. This could involve certain accommodations or alternative schedules or penalties to keep a child on track.
Such discussions can be difficult and frustrating, so parents meeting with teachers or school administrators may want to consider having an attorney by their side to help them seek satisfactory resolutions.

If I told you this simple, humble plate of only five ingredients is one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever had, would you believe me?
I served this alongside grilled chicken but the rice stole the show. With only garlic, green onions, and fish sauce as seasonings, this dish is an umami bomb. The secret lies in duck fat instead of the standard peanut oil. You can buy jarred duck fat at some specialty grocers and it's worth seeking out as it imparts a subtle meatiness and heft to an otherwise simple dish. It's not traditional, but I had some in the fridge and wanted to add an extra layer of flavor to the rice. Chicken schmaltz will do just fine as well.
2 tablespoons duck fat
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups cold cooked jasmine rice
2 or 3 green onions, trimmed, slivered lengthwise, and cut into 1-inch lengths
3 teaspoons fish sauce
1. Heat a wok over high heat and add the duck fat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until slightly golden, about 20 seconds. Add the rice, breaking it up as you toss it. With a spatula, keep moving the rice around the wok, cooking for about 2 minutes. Add the green onions and fish sauce and stir-fry for another minute. Serve warm.

World Cup flashback: India's epic win over Pakistan in the Garden City
The Pakistanis had to reach their 288-run target in 49 overs as match referee Raman Subba Row docked them an over due to slow over-rate
World Cup memory
Epic win in Garden City
All roads led to the Chinnswamy Stadium on March 9, 1996 in Bangalore where India and Pakistan clashed for the World Cup quarter-final. A side strain to Wasim Akram meant the visitors had to be led by Aamer Sohail and Mohd Azharuddin won a good toss. Navjot Singh Sidhu blazed away to 93 before he was castled by leggie Mushtaq Ahmed. Ajay Jadeja came up with an impact innings of 45 (25 balls, 4x4, 2x6). The Pakistanis had to reach their 288-run target in 49 overs as match referee Raman Subba Row docked them an over due to slow over-rate.
Openers Sohail (55) and Saeed Anwar (48) pierced the field well and cleared the ropes but the stadium came alive when Anwar lofted one to Anil Kumble at deep mid-on off Javagal Srinath. Another local boy — Venkatesh Prasad — got India's next wicket when he knocked back Sohail's off-stump after being at the receiving end of some verbal aggression from Sohail. Pakistan were restricted to 248 for nine and India's 39-run victory kicked off celebrations that went into the wee hours of the morning in the Garden City.
Did you know?
Cancer-stricken Martin Crowe was not coy to reveal that the New Zealand v Australia World Cup 2015 final (March 29) was the last match he would be able to watch. Of course, he wanted New Zealand to win at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, but that was not to be as the Australians won by seven wickets. Crowe passed away the following year on March 3.
Pakistan's Javed Miandad
Figured out
The 1996 quarter-final between India and Pakistan at Bangalore had a few similarities on the scoresheet. Pakistan's opening bowlers, Waqar Younis and Aaqib Javed went for 67 runs each in their 10 overs. On the batting front, Inzamam ul Haq and Ijaz Ahmed scored 12 each and were dismissed by the same bowler — Venkatesh Prasad before veterans Javed Miandad and Salim Malik had 38 against their names.
Man to watch
Shikhar Dhawan
He is not as consistent as he would want to be, but Shikhar Dhawan is a batsman whom the opposition have to treat as dangerous. He knows what it takes to build an innings and he does it swiftly enough for the rival team to dread the possibility of coping with an imposing India total. He plays the pull shot well and that should fetch him plenty of runs in England. His fine performance in the 2017 Champions Trophy there (338 runs in five matches) will serve as a good motivational tool for 'Gabbar' Dhawan.

A Contemporary Conversion
Eager to escape hectic London life, Lindsay and Guy Mattinson found a rural haven on the Isle of Wight — two period stone barns, which they have lovingly converted into one high-volume, contemporary family home.
Eager to escape hectic London life, Lindsay and Guy Mattinson found a rural haven on the Isle of Wight — two period stone barns, which they have lovingly converted into one high-volume, contemporary family home.
Lindsay and Guy didn't plan to convert two stone barns in a rural spot on the Isle of Wight. But they know an idyllic location and a good deal when they see one and so, when they discovered the perfect plot on the south of the island, they knew they had found the project they were looking for.
Lindsay and Guy, who are both Zimbabwean by birth, are architects by trade and were living and working in London at the time. "Guy's step-family have connections on the Isle of Wight, though," says Lindsay. "They've had a holiday home here for years, so he has been visiting since he was a teenager.
"About three-and-a-half years ago, we decided to start property developing," Lindsay continues. "We also decided that London wasn't for us anymore; we wanted to move out and find somewhere new." There was another consideration: Lindsay was expecting Patrick, the couple's first child, and wanted to have some control over her career. "Guy wanted the same," she says, "and to be able to spend time with the family. So we thought we'd find a property to develop and sell on, creating an income as we went."
The problem was that every property the couple viewed and liked on the UK mainland was on the market by sealed bid. "People were buying things for way over the odds, which we just weren't prepared to do," says Lindsay. "Then we visited the Isle of Wight for a long weekend, saw this property advertised and thought: why fight the battle on the mainland when we've found a lovely opportunity here?"
The plot, originally part of a working farm with views over the surrounding countryside and an adjacent lake, featured two period stone barns set amid a group of Grade II listed barns, and came complete with planning permission for conversion to a main house, annexe and carport. They made an offer and it was accepted, with the sale completed in 2006. "Everything went through very easily and we were able to negotiate the price down. There were no hiccups," says Lindsay.
Yet despite their professions, this was to be the first major residential conversion project Guy and Lindsay had undertaken for themselves. "I'm a commercial architect," says Lindsay, "so I don't usually work on residential properties. Yes, I'd renovated other houses that we'd lived in – but on a smaller scale – and I'd worked on a few smaller jobs as a sideline. But this was what I'd call our first real 'development'. It was exciting." The couple began redesigning the barns within the parameters set out by the planning consent.
The idea for the main barn was to create an uncomplicated open plan living space with a gallery/ mezzanine on the upper floor retaining the building's original features. The main materials would be natural and the colours would be earthy and neutral, while large doorways and windows would make the most of the stunning views, blurring the boundaries between inside and out.
"The barns were not listed themselves," says Lindsay, "but they were located within a group of listed buildings, so we had lots of involvement with the planning department throughout the entire project." Despite this, Lindsay remains upbeat about her dealings with the planning and conservation departments. "I have heard lots of renovation horror stories involving listed buildings and conservation officers," she says. "People say: 'The authorities don't let you get your way. They put their foot down and they make you do things their way.' Well, we didn't find that to be the case.
"Perhaps my background as an architect helped because I've worked with organisations like English Heritage, environment agencies and conservation departments in the past, and I believe in getting them on board before a project starts. Everything that I wanted to do in the design I'd researched and reasoned and had a case carefully prepared."
Having his own construction company also meant that Guy could use some of his own contacts for materials on the project. "However, we did have to find a local workforce and subcontractors," says Lindsay. "But Guy got involved in the project on a daily basis: he was always on site in a central role."
Work started in winter 2007. The roof of the main barn was removed and all original timbers and timber boarding were stripped down, refinished and reused in the new construction of the roof, finished in natural Welsh slate. Conservation rooflights have been inserted, allowing light to flood in. For the structure, reclaimed 'Ventnor green' stone was used in both the restoration work and new build elements.
Guy and Lindsay wanted to retain the barn's exposed stone walls in the grand living area/reception room, right up to the vaulted ceiling; but where the stone was not exposed, the walls were ventilated, insulated and lined to conform with current Building Regulations. "We had to enlist the help of an environment consultant to make sure we could expose the stonework internally where we wanted to," says Lindsay. "We had to be able to illustrate that we could increase the energy efficiency of the building in other ways, in order to compensate for the supposed heat loss that would be incurred — despite the walls being 500mm solid construction! But it did mean that we now have an environmentally sound and energy efficient building."
Four months into the renovation, however, the couple received a surprise. "We discovered the entire structure needed underpinning when we'd only envisaged underpinning about a third of it," says Lindsay. "It added five months to the build and all the costs associated with that."
Yet Lindsay and Guy admit there was a big upside to this problem: it meant ground levels could be reduced in both the main barn and the smaller barn (which was being converted into an annexe incorporating a granny flat) in order to maximise the floor-to-ceiling heights. "Yes, the underpinning cost more and, yes, it took longer," reflects Lindsay. "But the flipside was that we could dig down deeper and now we have really nice internal ceiling heights."
The couple installed the mezzanine to create a large first floor which houses two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and en suite. Seamless glazed balustrading on the gallery landing was fitted to exaggerate the open plan feel of the property and provide a clever visual link between the upstairs and downstairs sections of the house. The mezzanine runs across the entire width of the property, and over the ground floor kitchen. The downstairs also includes two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The American white oak staircase floats within the first floor void and, behind it, Guy and Lindsay have created a grooved timber feature wall extending from the ground floor right up to the roof. On the upper level, the staircase opens onto the gallery, overlooking the double-height living space.
Internal walls were built to create bedrooms on both floors which are large enough to have separate seating areas. The ground floor bedrooms open outdoors though folding sliding doors that flood the rooms with light, especially in the summer months.
Guy and Lindsay also installed underfloor heating, laid under a mix of solid oak, natural travertine and neutral wool carpet to demarcate the kitchen, dining and living areas. Lighting, the couple discovered, was vitally important in a house this size, and so uplights are used to illuminate the roof trusses and timber ceiling, with recessed floor lights making a feature of the exposed stone at night. Double-glazed hardwood windows are fitted throughout.
In all, the project took 20 months to complete. "The renovation was a very enjoyable process," says Lindsay, "although, because of the underpinning, it did take us much longer than we thought. For me, the best part was getting to the end and realising that we'd pleased everyone: the planners, the conservation officers, Building Control, the environment officers — and ourselves. Getting to the finish line and keeping everybody happy is no mean feat."
Yet, after just two years in the house, Guy and Lindsay are now planning a move, admitting that the conversion experience has made them want to do more. "This house has such character," says Lindsay. "It's character that you don't get with a new build or a 1930s house. So, yes, absolutely: we'd design it all – and do it all – again tomorrow."

Animal Engine, a theater company that has been based in New York City for the last seven years, has moved to the Twin Cities.
The movement-based troupe creates its own work, including "Darlings," which reimagines the Peter Pan story from the perspective of the parents of Peter's pals, Wendy, John and Michael Darling. That piece will be performed at the Southern Theater in Mnneapolis, March 30-April 1.
Animal Engine was co-founded by Carrie Brown and Karim Muasher, who have a couple of Twin Cities connections: They have performed three shows, including "The Vindlevoss Family Circus Spectacular," at Minnesota Fringe Festivals. And they trained in London alongside Isabel Nelson and Diogo Lopes, who co-founded local company Transatlantic Love Affair.

This piece appeared first on XYZ.
America's wars always start with a lie. The United States entered World War I in response to the sinking of the civilian ship The Lusitania, however it was later discovered that the ship was being used to supply ordinance to support the Allied war effort against Germany. There is strong evidence that the attack on Pearl Harbour was known in advance by the US military establishment, who let it happen so as to bring the US into the war effort. The Gulf of Tonkin incident which was used to widen US involvement in Vietnam was a sham; LBJ later admitted the Navy might as have been 'shooting at whales'.… Read the rest

Future leaders of sustainable business won't be found in business schools.

At the Sustainable Brands 2013 opening plenary three weeks ago, Tom Shadyac's movie I Am was shown to the assembled corporate and branding leaders.
For those of you who haven't seen it, the film chronicles the award-winning director's quest for happiness and includes interviews with "DoMoreGood" luminaries such as Ray Anderson, Desmond Tutu, Noam Chomsky and David Suzuki.
Shadyac's search led him to sell off most of the assets he accumulated during his run as a mega-successful movie director, including several large houses. As the opening plenary came to a close, I posed this question to the group:
What is the corporate equivalent of selling the houses?
In the early '90s, a Princeton graduate embarked on one of the most significant educational experiments of our time. Operating out of the Bronx, Wendy Kopp had proven her model with a charter corps of 500 recent college graduates, and now they were organizing to scale their program across the United States.
Kopp extended invitations to participate to the leaders at 20 top corporations. Many of them were competing for the same top grads Kopp wanted to hire for her project, Teach for America.
These leaders were told that times were changing. They already knew that education was not working for a large portion of their future customers. What may have surprised them was how many of the talented young leaders they wanted inside their own towers would opt instead to go with Kopp to serve in some of the most difficult classrooms in the country. They would impact millions of the most disenfranchised citizens and they themselves would be transformed in the process, adding to a growing generation of millennial social entrepreneurs.
Some of the corporate leaders who met with Kopp were interested enough to give her efforts some support — a few donations of $20 - $30,000 — before moving back to business as usual. The fact that not one of those corporations stepped up to partner with her is, according to me, one of the largest missed opportunities and branding gaffes in corporate history. Teach for America is now one of the most successful and respected social enterprises in the world.
How could so many corporate leaders miss this opportunity to address one of the most critical problems of our time while creating a billion dollar brand asset for just a few million dollars per year? With a modest investment of time, talent and attention, they could have secured their reputation with current and future customers as well as access to the next generation.
Take a moment before continuing to ask yourself these questions:
In my last post, How Three Quiet, Seismic Shifts Are Changing the Social Enterprise and Social Innovation Landscape, I stated the case for all businesses becoming both social and commercial. Another viewpoint comes from Capitalism at Risk, Re-Thinking the Role of Business (Harvard Review Press 2011.)
We have found that forward looking companies across the spectrum are thinking creatively and learning how to address what have hitherto been regarded as problems for government and NGOs, by developing strategies that enhance the prospects for sustaining the market system and often generate financial benefits for the company at the same time.
…And these actors might do so without a well-developed prospect of immediate financial returns, but with the recognition that it is their self interest to be part of a well-functioning system.
There are significant new skill sets that are needed in a rapidly approaching social/commercial era. They cannot be taught in business schools.
Nowhere is author William Gibson's phrase, "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed" more true than in the global space of social business startups. Among the thousands of proven models, there are scalable social enterprises that have been proven in one location or country but are unknown elsewhere. They are also invisible to the corporations that could benefit most from their approach.
Being viewed as a company that can strategically scale the most innovative solutions to global challenges is a great way to enhance reputations, but it is only part of the benefit. Social enterprises offer a variety of new business models to engage with and test, and they expose corporations to models that can produce social and economic success.
They also introduce a new framework for entrepreneurship, one that drives success by moving away from competition and towards collaboration. This is something best learned by working with innovative social entrepreneurs.
Most important and least appreciated—until it is experienced firsthand—is how shifting to a point of view that includes the welfare of all people creates a consciousness that opens up the future to more organizations like Teach for America and leaders like Wendy Kopp. This is a vision that aligns with historian Arnold Toynbee's backward glance:
"The 20th century will be chiefly remembered by future generations not as an era of political conflicts or technical inventions, but as an age in which human society dared to think of the welfare of the whole human race as a practical objective."

Yale University, under the aegis of Greg McWilliams, Director of Rugby, presented a one-day, coaches training seminar in New Haven, engaging the services of Kiwi Scott Robertson. Robertson, a former All Black with 22-appearances, is the successful coach of the Canterbury Crusaders, winners in 2017 and 2018 of the Super Rugby Championship. He also coached the New Zealand U20 squad to their U20 Championship title in 2016.
Robertson also met with Yale's Director of Athletics, and the university's head Football, Lacrosse, and Soccer coaches.
McWilliams and Robertson worked together during a past Barbarians tour.
The event attracted 91-coaches, most from the northeast and Mid-Atlantic states but also some coming from California for a full day of high-level rugby instruction in in the classroom and demonstrations on the field. Yale ruggers served as models for Robertson's proved techniques.
The keynote topic was "Creating a world class culture and defensive structures."
In addition to the basics, Robertson also imparted many of the more sophisticated methods he employs in New Zealand that have contributed to his winning strategies.
Rhino Rugby acted as a sponsor.

RICHMOND, Va. (1/23/14)--With the support of state credit unions, a prize-linked savings (PLS) bill passed the Virginia House of Delegates Wednesday by 97-0 vote.
In addition, a state Senate version of the bill is expected to pass as early as today, the Virginia Credit Union League reported.
"Our credit unions have done a wonderful job in Richmond lobbying for our legislation," said Rick Pillow, league president/CEO. "This week, 80 representatives from credit unions all across the commonwealth met with their respective delegates and senators, not only on our credit union bills, but on dozens of other bills that affect our operations."
Credit unions that participated in this week's Credit Union Days at the General Assembly include:
Next week, credit unions from the Richmond, Charlottesville and Waynesboro areas travel to Richmond for their lobbying days.
The league is also tracking progress on a parity bill for state-chartered credit unions and banks, which would eliminate the need for state-chartered institutions to seek permission from the state Bureau of Financial Institutions to place or relocate ATMs. The league asked that the measure be introduced and state-chartered banks have since joined credit unions on the legislation.
"We view this bill as elimination of red tape for state-chartered credit unions, which could have found themselves at a competitive disadvantage in placing ATMs in prime locations," said Pillow.
Prize-linked savings programs are intended to boost the country's annual savings rate--around 4.1% (News Now Dec. 12). Through these products, credit union members and others can receive entries into a cash prize sweepstakes for depositing a certain amount of money into their savings accounts. The programs have appealed to unbanked and under-banked consumers who were not previously inclined to save money.
In December, the U.S. Senate passed legislation that would allow credit unions and other financial institutions nationwide to offer PLS accounts.
President Barack Obama signed the American Savings Promotion Act into law Dec. 18.
Ten states allow prize-linked savings programs: Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Washington.

Patients value continuity of care far more than extended hours, survey finds
By Gareth Iacobucci
Patients value continuity of care and their relationship with their GP far more than flexibility and extended opening, reveals a survey carried out by Pulse readers.
The survey - a key strand of Pulse's Save Our Surgeries campaign - asked patients to rate six aspects of GP care out of 10, with 0 representing 'no value', and 10 being 'extremely valuable'.
Data submitted by four practices found patients rated the doctor-patient relationship most highly, at 9.9 out of 10, while continuity of care scored an average of 8.7.
By contrast, convenience was less highly valued. The average score for flexibility of appointment time was just 7.6, while availability of extended hours rated only 6.0.
In the other categories, having a well-trained doctor scored an average of 9.5, while having a consultation that was patient-centred had an average rating of 8.3.
The findings mirror those from a recent study by the National Primary Care Research and Development Centre, which found that patients valued seeing a doctor who knows them well almost twice as much as flexibility of appointment times.
Dr John Cormack, a GP in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, who played an active role in highlighting Pulse's campaign to patients, said the Government was yet to cotton on to the importance patients placed on knowing their GP.
He said: 'The irony is Darzi has been saying we want a more personal and responsive health services, and his idea is to have these general practice factories. People like to go where you know their name and don't have to start again every time.'

This would be an ideal place to live and raise a little family. It would be the perfect size, not too-over-the-top. My kids could grow up like my grandparents did. Being country means living simple, within in your means and not getting too materialistic. You're life should be measured by the quality of your living, not the quantity of goodies, toys, and riches. Being happy is all about living within your means versus going overboard.

Review: Wife cheered by househusbands in Attenberg's 'Kept Man'
The Kept Man
By Jami Attenberg
"The Kept Man," Jami Attenberg's first novel, is the story of Jarvis Miller, a young New Yorker temporarily undone by the loss of her artist husband. Martin Miller has been in a coma for six years, ever since a fall in his studio, and Jarvis has spent these years in a kind of suspended animation. She lives off the sale of Martin's paintings, does almost nothing, and sees almost no one, until she runs into Scott, Mal and Tony, three stay-at-home dads who meet weekly at a Williamsburg coin laundry.
While their high-powered wives work, these "kept men" spend their Tuesdays folding shirts, dandling their children and flirting with Jarvis. The three are nearly interchangeable - sexy guys in their 30s with artistic aspirations and mild domestic frustrations, who seem to have little to do besides entertain their attractive new female friend.
The frozen woman brought back to life is a popular trope, but Attenberg puts a new spin on it: Jarvis is saved not by love, but by banter. Her isolation began well before Martin's accident; over the course of their relationship, she gave up her friends and her job to devote herself to him. Though her love for her husband is obvious, we get the sense that she has crippled herself to be with him. And though she does find herself attracted to her three male companions, their importance is more social than sexual. Jarvis has spent too long on love - what she needs now are friends.
Scott, Mal and Tony are especially useful in this regard since Jarvis' old friends - Martin's artist buddy Davis and his dealer Alice - may be untrustworthy. Both want Jarvis to sign over control of Martin's art to them. At first, they seem motivated solely by greed; later, it becomes clear they may have something to hide. The suggestion of betrayal deepens the schism at the heart of the novel, between the tragedy of Martin's injury and the fun, hip lightness of Jarvis' relationship with the kept men. It's a difficult feat to meld heartache with social comedy, and Attenberg can't quite pull it off.
More often than not, it's the heartache that gets sacrificed. The transition between Parts 1 and 2 of the novel is particularly disappointing - Jarvis ends Part 1 in a fevered rage, and begins Part 2 listening to reggae at the coin-op. The more often these shifts occur, the more difficult it is to take Jarvis' emotions seriously. Her despair - so raw at the beginning of the novel that she sometimes cannot leave her bed - seems almost trivial when it is allayed by a few flirtatious evenings. The notion of a self-concept restored through friendship is the most interesting thing about "The Kept Man." But the friendships in large part remain so superficial that we begin to fear that whatever self they help Jarvis form cannot be very deep or interesting.
Problems of verisimilitude also undercut the novel's power. Jarvis' financial position strains credulity - Martin's art supported them both and continues to pay for his nursing home and all of her expenses after his accident. Probably a handful of midcareer New York artists have this much dough, but the complete removal of the question of money makes the novel less interesting rather than more.
Later, an odd political situation crops up: Jarvis considers taking Martin off life support, and Christian protesters surround her apartment with signs reading "Put God first, not yourself" and the like. Given the subject matter of Martin's art - naked young girls with enormous breasts - he's not the most obvious target for the right-to-life crowd, and the days-long protest rings a false note.
Troubling, too, is Jarvis' relationship with Missy, the kindhearted cabdriver who takes her to the nursing home to visit Martin. Just when Jarvis needs it most, Missy introduces Jarvis to her warm Puerto Rican family, and Jarvis is reinvigorated by their uninhibited love for one another. To her credit, Jarvis is aware that she's living vicariously; she muses on "the red, rosy hues of Missy's life tinting my cheeks." The situation - emotive working-class minor characters who exist to breathe life back into the middle-class white protagonist - is upsetting nonetheless.
Attenberg has an admirable sense of fun - every time Jarvis gets dressed up for a party, we wish we could go with her. "The Kept Man" also displays a keen ear for dialogue and a half-cynical, half-affectionate tone that makes even the most venal characters likable. These skills will stand Attenberg in good stead in the future, especially if she chooses to indulge her lighter side and try her hand at a comic novel. If "The Kept Man" is any indication, she's much better at pleasure than at pain.

austrian economics
Fifty years ago, in 1968, Austrian (and Austrian school) economist Friedrich A. Hayek published a monograph called The Confusion of Language in Political Thought.
One day in 1927 Austrian economist, Ludwig von Mises, stood at the window of his office at the Vienna Chamber of Commerce, and said "Maybe grass will grow there, because our civilization will end."

Austrian school economist Edmund Contoski has written a welcome addition to his 2012 explanation of the inevitable consequences of forcing fiat money on society.

Economist Robert Murphy Distills Treatise of Ludwig von Mises at The Heartland Institute
Mises's 'Human Action' is considered brilliant, teaching the deepest truths about economic science to enlist the public in the defense of a free society. But Murphy distills its length and depth to eliminate the intimidation to many readers.
Almost everyone outside the world of the Austrian School of Economics unquestionably assumes that the regulation of so-called "natural monopoly utilities" is both fair and necessary as well as efficient and effective. This is — to borrow a buzz word from the Left — "unsustainable," in both theory and practice.
Forty years ago, during the week of June 15-22, 1974, the Austrian School of Economics was reborn during a conference in the small New England town of South Royalton, Vermont. Why was this important? Because the economists of the Austrian School have developed the most persuasive understanding of why only economic freedom can give mankind both liberty and prosperity.
A truly free market economy is one that tends to have the "good deflation," and we should look forward to it.
