This is How You Get Your Point Across
I have been following Lauren McNamara's blog and YouTube Channel for a number of years now, and she has consistently impressed me with her outstanding ability to form a tight, well-thought out, well-researched, and interesting argument. The arguments she makes in her videos and blog posts are so tight and concise that there is no real way for people to poke holes in it. Lately, McNamara has been getting national media attention for being a witness for the Chelsea Manning case. Much of her time in interviews, however, have been about Manning receiving hormonal treatments while she is in prison. Here is McNamara's latest interview on CNN:
As you can see from this video, McNamara gives factual, concise answers to each of the questions she is asked. This is nothing surprising to me, since I am already aware of her intellect and the way she conveys an argument. What I am really impressed by, however, is her ability to remain calm and collected while she speaks to the reporter. The reporter doesn't seem to accept being transgender as something that is legitimate, frequently referring to Chelsea Manning as "he". McNamara frequently corrects him without getting visibly angry or annoyed. Her ability to maintain calm during that interview is impressive.
I hope we see a lot more of Lauren McNamara on a national stage. Her type of commentary is something the world needs much more of!

Why I am an Agnostic Atheist
I promised posts about religion and atheism, so here's one!!
So, my answer to the question: Does god exist? I don't know, but I haven't seen any evidence which would prove the existence of god.
It's quite simple. In statistics and science, it is commonplace to formulate a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis for an experiment of an analysis. The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis you are trying to prove is true. If you attain enough evidence which supports your alternative hypothesis, you can reject your null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis as true.
In the case of the existence of a deity or deities, the burden of proof lies on the person claiming their existence. In this case, "There is no god." is the null hypothesis, and "There is a god." is the alternative hypothesis.
In this case, I have not seen enough demonstrable evidence which supports the alternative hypothesis of "There is a god." Therefore, I must stick with the null hypothesis of "There is no god," which explains the "atheist" part of "agnostic atheist."
As for the "agnostic" part of "Agnostic Atheist," I realize that there is a possibility that enough demonstrable evidence supporting the alternative hypothesis from above may surface. Since I am open to that possibility, that ultimately leads me to the conclusion that I don't know whether a deity exists or not.
In short, I am an agnostic atheist because I have not seen enough demonstrable evidence which points me towards its existence, but that evidence may be out there.
There are many (like Ray Comfort) who do not fully understand atheism. Many, like Comfort, would like to believe that we know there is a god, but we are angry at it. This does not make any sense. If we do not believe that a god exists, how could we be mad at it? It would be like me being mad at unicorns, even though unicorns do not exist. That's not how it works. Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity, not anger at a deity.
I hope this serves as a formidable introduction to the topic. Until next time, "If you won't listen to reason, there's always…Towanda."
The Disability Catch-22
Many people with cognitive disabilities and differences get caught in this position. They identify themselves as having a disability and speak about how it affects their lives, only to have the people they are speaking to dismiss what they say. They will say things like, "This person has this label and he/she/ze can't do A,B, and C and you can. Therefore, your problems aren't so bad and you're not really disabled." The person's opinion doesn't count in these people's eyes. On the same end, these people will speak about the their opinions about the disability. The person with the disability will bring up points they disagree with or they find inaccurate. The response to that is often: "Your disability precludes you from really understanding what we are trying to say or do." or "We're not talking about you, we're talking about those people."
Wrong. You are talking about that person.
There are many points I need to address about these scenarios. I'll first start with the idea that a person is not really disabled if they are able to do A,B, and C. It assumes that all people diagnosed with a certain disability have the same strengths and weaknesses. They do not seem to recognize the individuality of people who are diagnosed with a disability. A common phrase in the autism world is "Once you've met one person on the spectrum, you've met one person on the spectrum." People abilities and disabilities are going to be different, regardless of what label they are given. The whole premise is false. I also need to address how the person saying that the person they are talking to can do A,B, and C, when they do not really know if that is the case. In speaking with my advisor at my undergraduate college, I brought up how autism researchers don't always listen to autistic individuals. She responded by saying that these people are working with people who bite themselves and not really the people who are speaking out. Part of me wanted to say "I bite myself" back, but, I wasn't willing to be open about my more personal issues, for a multitude of reasons. I'll say this now: there are times where I do bite myself. It helps me to relieve anxiety. I have never broken the skin, though. I admit to having things easier than most other people who share my label. However, the fact that I do have it easier than other people does nothing to diminish the issues I do face. The facts that I graduated with honors from one of the best colleges in the United States doesn't inherently make me remember to always make eye contact. You can't just dismiss me as not being disabled or different enough when I make my opinion heard and then turn around and say I am too disabled or different to question some of your motives. This happens too often to too many people, and it needs to stop.
People need to be aware that high educational achievement and cognitive disability or difference are not entirely mutually exclusive. Temple Grandin is autistic and has a PhD. Einstein was believed to be autistic. John Nash, one of the greatest mathematical minds of our time, has paranoid schizophrenia. People shouldn't assume that a person's ability to do one thing easily does not necessarily mean they can do another thing, or that they don't have certain issues of their own. I say, let's get rid of the disability catch-22 and start having real conversations about disability.
"If you won't listen to reason, there's always…Towanda."
The Importance of Neurodiversity
For the past few years, autism groups have been spreading awareness about the condition. They want people to know the signs and the symptoms and to make sure children receive proper interventions. At this point in time, I think most everybody is aware of autism. However, people are not really aware of what autistic people have to say. The conversation about autism has been and continues to be dominated by neurotypical individuals. Autistic adults have been given almost no say in matters that affect them. Although I don't claim to speak for anybody, I will be writing based upon what I have read and seen from autistic individuals. My research has showed me a large majority of autistic people, speaking and non-speaking, advocating for the concept of neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity is the idea that different neurological conditions are natural human variations and, rather than trying to find a cure for the conditions, we should strive for greater acceptance and tolerance of these differences and find ways to better support these individuals within a predominantly neurotypical world. The main assertion is that these is no one "correct" neurology, and that people should not be forced to give up natural aspects of who they are in order to be accepted by society.
There are a few common misconceptions about the concept of neurodiversity. The first one is that supporters of neurodiversity are all "high-functioning" and don't know the pain of being "low-functioning". Apart from my disdain for functioning labels, many people who support neurodiversity have been considered "low-functioning" by the medical community. The second misconception, which is related to the first, is that supporters of neurodiversity are ignoring the negative aspects of their condition. This also is not true. There are many who have written about the negative aspects of their condition, including Amanda Baggs and DJ Savarese. However, the largest misconception surrounds the anti-cure standpoint of the neurodiversity movement. There have been times where I have expressed the anti-cure standpoint and have had people accuse me of saying that their child wan't good enough for a cure. That is not it at all. As Ari Ne'eman has said before me, "anti–cure doesn't mean anti–progress." Most people who advocate for neurodiversity advocate for reasonable treatments and therapies, such as speech therapy and occupational therapy. They advocate for greater access to education and for better quality of life. The main belief is that people can lead full and fulfilling lives while being autistic. The reason why people are anti-cure is because they believe eliminating autism would be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Everyone sees autism as a disability, everybody is aware of the negative aspects of autism, but autism, in reality, is a mixed bag, and that is what many don't see. The neurodiversity movement basically says that autism isn't so cut and dry, as most seem to think it is.
This movement is important because it is made up of autistic people speaking for themselves, along with their allies. It is also important because it raises issues that were once not heard about. There has been a rise in autistic people speaking out for what they want, and the general sentiment is one that supports the concept of neurodiversity. The concept of neurodiversity gives validation to people who have not been previously validated. It shows people with diverse neurologies that it is ok to be them. I believe it is important for people to be able to fully embrace who they are.
I've really only scratched the surface on this subject. Also, I need to note that the concept of neurodiversity does not only apply to autism. Neurodiversity can be used in speaking about a whole number of conditions, such as ADD, ADHD, depression, etc. I hope this is something people can chew on for now. Until next time, folks, "If you won't listen to reason, there's always…Towanda."
What Is Wrong With Autism Awareness Today
As I was writing my last post, I got a little worried. I was worried about whether or not my representation of Autism Speaks reflected how they were today. Much of my information reflected data and videos from a few years ago. So, I was worried about being looked at as a shill who was pedaling old information to support an agenda….until I saw this video.
This 43-second video not only alleviated my worries; it also encompasses everything that is wrong with autism "awareness." The video is of a simulator created by Autism Speaks to show people what it was like when their child did not make eye contact with them. It looks innocent enough, but when it is explained in proper context, that innocence is replaced with frustration and anger. It shows how Autism Speaks is a group run almost exclusively by neurotypical people, doesn't consult autistic people in their decision-making, spreads fear and stigma of people with autism, and does not always make wise choices with their funds.
This video is all about neurotypical people. It is all about their feelings about autistic people not making eye contact. Not once does it speak to how autistic people may feel when they make eye contact. This is most likely the result of nobody asking an autistic person about eye contact. Although there are some who have no issues with eye contact, there are many who do. There are many who will lose their train of thought when forced to make eye contact. For others, eye contact causes anxiety. In a study by Dalton, et al. (2005), they showed that eye contact would cause activity in the amygdala of an autistic person's brain, causing an emotional response. However, with neurotypical people, eye contact would activate the right fusiform gyrus in their brains, eliciting no emotional response. Apparently, this isn't important to Autism Speaks. To them, being neurotypical is the right way to be and being autistic is the wrong way to be.
This video also speaks to another important idea worth noting: neurotypical privilege. It speaks to how autistic people are often told that they have to change their behaviors to appear more neurotypical. It is like having to put a mask on every day in order to go outside. Neurotypical people never have to worry about that mask because they have never been told to significantly change their behaviors in order to be accepted in society. The implication from this video is that more needs to be done to get children with autism to make eye contact and to work on neurotypical terms. These ideas do nothing but spread the idea of the autistic person as an "other." Somebody to be feared. Somebody they need to get rid of. It does nothing to help autistic people.
It bewilders me that Autism Speaks decided to spend money on this. I don't know how much it cost, but I imagine it cost a pretty penny to make. I think of all the places it could have gone, and yet, it was wasted on a stupid and useless piece of technology. Shows where Autism Speaks priorities are!
I would like to conclude with my two most important points. The first being that this video and this piece of technology shows that Autism Speaks isn't about autistic people at all. It is about the people around autistic people. It is run by neurotypical people to serve the needs and desires of neurotypical people. The goals they have reflect neurotypical people's desires for autistic people. It is clear that Autism Speaks does not really care about the desires and needs of people with autism. If they did care, there would be more money going to supports and services for autistic people and their families. They certainly would not have wasted money on a piece of technology meant to demonize autistic people for something as harmless as not making eye contact. My second point I want to make is that this video and this piece of technology shows that many of the behavioral changes expected of autistic people aren't for the purpose of advancing an autistic person; they are for the comfort of the people around them. The piece of technology Autism Speaks shows in the video was made for eliciting discomfort in neurotypical people. It shows that Autism Speaks is more concerned with their comfort than they are of autistic people's. The fact that eye contact makes many people with autism feel uncomfortable does not seem to matter to them. As long as neurotypical people are happy, Autism Speaks is happy.

Why I Don't Support Autism Speaks, and Why Autism Awareness Month Makes Me Uncomfortable
As most people know, April is Autism Awareness Month and yesterday was World Autism Awareness Day. Many buildings in cities across the United States and the world "[lit] it up blue" for autism awareness. As somebody with four cousins who have autism and having my own autism spectrum disorder diagnosis (PDD-NOS), you would expect me to be happy about the amount of attention being paid to autism. But I'm not. The attention may be good, but the type of attention is not.
The main group behind the "awareness" is Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks was founded in 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright. Bob Wright was the former owner of NBC. The group was founded after the Wrights found out that their grandson was autistic. Since then, the group has grown to be the largest autism group in the world, receiving millions of dollars in revenue each year. Their funding is dedicated, for the most part, "funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families" (Autism Speaks website).
Sounds harmless enough, right? They're funding a lot of scientific research, right? They're increasing awareness, right? They're advocating for the needs of autistic individuals, right? Wrong. Although they say they are advocating for the needs of individuals with autism, they don't do a lot of listening to autistic individuals. There is only one person on any of their numerous boards who is actually autistic himself, and none who are on the board of directors. This flies directly in the face of the ideals of the disability rights movement, whose mantra is "Nothing about us, without us!", meaning that the conversation on disability needs to include people with the disability not only in meaningful ways, but they need to take a driver's seat position in the conversation. One of Autism Speaks' tag lines is "Are You Listening?" However, that question should not be asked of the public, it should be asked of Autism Speaks. Are you listening, Autism Speaks? Do you consider the words and ideas of autistic individuals to be valid? Do you make policy based on what individuals with autism wish to see happen? Are your research goals in sync with the wants and needs of autistic individuals? At this point, the answer to all of these questions is no.
A large percentage of Autism Speaks money goes towards research. The vast majority of that money goes towards the etiology of the condition. While I don't deny that etiology studies are important, they should not have the monopoly on Autism Speaks' research budget. Many autistic individuals have been calling for increased research into quality of life issues and education. There are many individuals who are being denied full quality of life because they are denied the supports and services they need in order to do so. An increase in research in these fields will allow for more autistic individuals to lead they lives they want to lead and to contribute to society in positive ways.
Many autistic individuals also find the idea of a cure to be offensive. To many of them, it is like being told the way they are naturally is wrong and they have to change who they are in order to be accepted. Many autistic individuals are proud of their autism. Many will say that while it may not define them, it is an integral part of who they are, and to deny that is to deny them. That is why many individuals with autism are weary of Autism Speaks research goals of prevention and cure. These goals support fear and stigmatization of autistic individuals.
Autism Speaks' fear and stigmatization does not stop at their research goals. It reaches over into their PSA's. In their documentary "Autism Every Day", they show numerous parents of autistic individuals lamenting about the problems that their children have. Although I can't deny that many families who have individuals with autism do struggle and things can get challenging for them, this documentary goes too far. At one point in the documentary, one woman speaks openly about how she thought about driving off the George Washington Bridge with her autistic child. She said she stopped herself from doing it because of her neurotypical daughter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0vCz2KWMM0). The thing that bothered me the most about this, however, was how this woman said these things while her autistic daughter was in the room. One of the rudest things you can do, in my mind, is speak about somebody who is near you as if they are not. That is not ok. That being done in an "advocacy" video says a lot. It says that autistic people are not worthy of the respect that neurotypical people are given. It also says that autistic people aren't full human beings. There was not one point in this documentary where an individual with autism was spoken to, and that is a problem.
Their PSA, "I Am Autism", is not any better. It starts with the dark, ominous music. Then, the devilish voices comes in, "I am Autism." The PSA continues to speak about how autism ruins marriages, embarrasses parents, and steals a child away from their parents. The second half of the PSA consists of people speaking back to "Autism." Although it is meant to convey a hopeful message, there are places where it falls short. First, when it is introducing the people speaking back to autism, it does not mention one autistic individual. Additionally, it presents autism as something that can be separated from a person, when the vast majority of autistic individuals say that it can't be. Many groups, such as the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network found this PSA to be extremely offensive. So far, Autism Speaks has not done a lot to distance themselves from PSAs like these. These types of videos only hurt autistic individuals and make their lives harder.
There needs to be a large overhaul of the autism world. Autistic voices need to be heard. Autistic people need to be put in leadership positions in groups about them. Research goals should be based on what autistic people want to know. Therapies should focus on helping a child with autism achieve their full potential and not focus on "normalization." Also, autism should not be portrayed as a monster that steals a child's soul, but rather a part of a person, which causes good and bad. Finally, autistic people need to be accepted as they are.
This month is not an easy one for many individuals on the spectrum. It is one where they are often spoken about, but not asked. It is one which talks about reducing fear and stigma, yet speaks about the hope that, one day, people like them would cease to exist. For me, it is one where I am reminded of how I was told to act as "normal" as possible, and how I was bullied for not always fitting into prescribed norms. It is one where I remember telling people about being bullied and was told that I had to work harder at acting "normal." It is one which reminds me of my self-imposed closeting, and my desire to be "out" while knowing the possible negative consequences of it. Most of all, it is one where I know that things have gotten better for me, but have not for so many others.
At least I am doing something about it. This post alone speaks to that. I know I have to speak up. I know that it is my responsibility to make the changes. I can do it and I will!
This post is the first in many I will write this month. I plan on writing about neurodiversity, the hostility towards the concept, "passing", the disability catch-22, as well as other topics. This post was just the introduction. Until next time, "If you won't listen to reason, there's always…Towanda."

The Scottish Government has launched phase three of the Self-directed Support Strategy – the Implementation Plan for 2016-2018.
Set against four of Scottish Government's strategic outcomes, the plan sets out what has started to change, what national partners will do during 2016-2018 to address the challenges that have been identified and what success will look like.
The priority for 2016-2018 is to consolidate the learning from innovative practice and the application of guidance and to embed self-directed support as Scotland's mainstream approach to social care.
The Self-directed Support Strategy
The Self-directed Support Strategy 2010-2020 is a joint Scottish Government and COSLA 10-year plan, dedicated to the personalisation of social care in Scotland.
In the first phase of the strategy, from 2010-2012, information was developed to promote understanding of self-directed support.
The second phase, 2012-2016, focused on development of the Social Care (Self-directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013, guidance, and supporting innovation.

There's been a revolution. It comes in the form of cell free DNA (cfDNA), which is changing patient pathways for the better across the globe. Due to its nature, cfDNA is considered as an excellent biomarker and source of genetic information.
Cell free DNA is thought to originate predominantly from cells that undergo programmed cell death (otherwise known as apoptosis) as part of the natural process of tissue regeneration 1,2. DNA released in this manner is systematically fragmented in small pieces (average length of 166 bp) and can therefore seep through cell and tissue layers eventually ending up in the circulatory system3,4.
Currently in genetic diagnostics, especially in the oncology 5 and prenatal 6 fields, cfDNA originating from tumour cells (known as circulating tumour DNA or ctDNA) and placental tissue (i.e. cell free fetal DNA or cffDNA) is sequenced to find tumour mutations and fetal genetic disorders, respectively.
It's not easy though
Recovery and analysis of cfDNA does not come without its challenges. There are three main problems to overcome:
1. There's not much of it
2. It requires specific DNA extraction techniques
3. It can get "contaminated" with genomic DNA
Problem one: there is not much of it. In fact it ranges from 1.6 to 23.7 ng/ml of plasma 7 and it is avidly degraded by DNAse enzymes present in our bloodstreams with a half-life of approximately 16 minutes8.
Problem two: it requires DNA extraction techniques capable of recovering very small fragments of DNA9.
Problem three: it is at risk of being "contaminated" by genomic DNA released from white blood cells which start degrading over time from the point of blood draw10.
This final aspect is particularly problematic when blood samples are collected far away from the centre of testing and need to be shipped nationally, or even internationally, across long distances. Therefore, following the correct pre-analytical procedures for blood collection and processing is necessary to ensure the recovery of high-purity cfDNA and, consequentially, a higher diagnostic testing success rate11.
Additionally, specifically dedicated blood collection tubes containing a fixing agent capable of "freezing" blood cells and therefore causing a delay in cell degradation have also been developed to minimize the genomic DNA "contamination" issue9,12.
What is best laboratory practice?
Multiple studies have been conducted to investigate the best laboratory procedures for processing blood samples upon arrival at testing centres. These found that plasma deliver better quality cfDNA compared to serum, probably due to the increase in white blood cell degradation during the clotting procedure13,14.
An analysis on quantity and quality of cfDNA extracted from plasma separated from the blood cell portion at different intervals found that "contamination" from white blood cell DNA is visible at 24 hours post blood draw when using standard K2EDTA tubes; while use of blood cell stabilising tubes delays this event to 72 hours 10 or even up to 14 days 9,12.
Other factors, such as storage conditions at 4°C or room temperature of collected blood 10,13; use of different types of fixing agent within blood cell stabilising tubes 9; as well as freezing/thawing of extracted cfDNA 13, do not affect cfDNA quantity or quality. However, freezing/thawing of plasma for up to three times was found to cause a slight degradation of larger cfDNA fragments towards smaller fragment sizes, albeit leaving the overall cfDNA quantity unchanged 13.
A significant increase in genomic DNA "contamination" from white blood cells was seen when performing a single centrifugation step at low speed to isolate plasma from the blood cell portion. Instead, using a combination of low speed centrifugation, removal of plasma and additional high speed centrifugation yielded the best quality of cfDNA 9,15.
What are the best conditions for cfDNA downstream applications?
A review of the studies conducted to find the best pre-analytical conditions in which to collect/store blood and isolate/store plasma for cfDNA downstream applications can be summarised in the following recommendations:
- Recover cfDNA from plasma instead of serum.
- Use blood cell stabilising tubes to collect and store blood when more than 24 hours are expected to pass from blood draw to plasma isolation.
- Conduct an initial centrifugation step at 800-1000g for 10 minutes to separate the plasma from the blood cell portion.
- Centrifuge the isolated plasma at 10,000-16,000g for 10 minutes to remove any leftover blood cells and cell debris.
- Store plasma at -20/-80°C, avoiding repeated freeze/thaw cycles as much as possible.

are fuels? How do you get energy from them?
Now this is where humans are different from all other life. You have learned how you can use fuels to make energy to power machines like cars, planes and computers. This way, you don't have to work so much and you can stay warm without the fat, fur or feathers that other animals have. You get the fuel to make all this extra energy mostly by digging it out of the ground and burning it. This releases ancient energy stores - fossil fuels - made by billions of tiny plants and animals which lived millions of years ago. This stuff has been locked away underground ever since, covered up by younger rocks that got laid down on top.
I'm sure you know what these fuels are:
These fossil fuels all come from underground; inside the Earth's crust. And that is where they should stay because burning them does a lot of damage to the air we all breathe, the oceans and living things on the land. I'll say more about that later in this guide.
can burn any of these fuels, coal, oil
or gas, to make electricity
in power stations. How?
But electricity is only one form of energy used by people. The biggest guzzlers of energy from burning fossil fuels are
But electricity is only one form of energy used by people. The biggest guzzlers of energy from burning fossil fuels are
Fuels for heating can be any fossil fuel though people mostly use oil or gas because they're easier and less dirty.
Machines for transport almost all use the liquid fossil fuel, oil. Why? But the oil has to be refined to make gasoline , diesel and kerosene Different types of engine need different types of liquid fuel. Some engines run on gas.

University: Vassar College 12
Major: Mathematics & Physics
What led you to apply for Venture for America?
A while back, an old friend and I were catching up over food – eventually the conversation took a turn to "plans after college." He mentioned Venture for America, and we started talking about working in start ups and what that would entail. At the time, I hadn't thought much about entrepreneurship and I thought, could be interesting… maybe not my thing. But a seed was planted. So when I heard that Andrew Yang was making a presentation of the Venture for America Mission at Vassar, I knew that I had to be sure this wasnt an opportunity I was going to regret missing out on. In his talk, I realized that the picture he painted of someone who pursues entrepreneurship was the image of someone I aspire to be. This person is a problem-solver, makes a positive impact on those around him, and is not afraid take a risk to help others.
What were you doing when you found out you were accepted?
It's all kind of a haze. I was looking into kickstarters and indiegogo projects when a little notification popped up at the bottom right of my screen. I was frozen for something like five minutes, and afterwards bounced around the house and told everyone I ran in to!
Now that youre a fellow, what are you most excited about with regard to VFA? What do you hope to accomplish?
I'm excited to meet inspiring people and to embark on a great learning experience.
If you had to live one place for the rest of your life, where would you choose?
Having grown up overseas, I've lived in a lot of cool cities. However, what I find most important, and the determining factor of where I would want live, is to have a good group of friends nearby.
Best thing about Vassar: It's a tight-knit community with a crazy amount of diverse interests, which always leads to good conversations.

Two years ago, credit reporting agency Equifax suffered an enormous security breach. Hackers gained access to the personal data of 147 million Americans: Social Security numbers, credit card details, and other sensitive information. Almost half the U.S. population was affected.
Recently, Equifax reached a settlement agreement with the Federal Trade Commission to provide compensation for those impacted by the data breach. The FTC has posted summary details at its website. And if you're a real masochist, you can read the entire text of the settlement via PDF.
Over the past week, there have been a lot of stories going around that everyone is entitled to $125 due to the Equifax settlement. Here, for instance, is one of my real-life Facebook friends excited at the possibility of free money.
On Friday, one U.S. Representative tweeted: "Everyone: go get your check from Equifax! $125 is a nice chunk of change. Get that money and pay off a bill, sock it away, take a day off, treat yourself, whatever you'd like." And at Slate, one author wrote that you have a moral obligation to claim money in the settlement.
I'll admit: Even I believed I was going to get $125. I told Kim about it so that she could get her $125 too.
But being a skeptic by nature, I've been digging a little deeper. Turns out things with the Equifax settlement are a little more complicated than "everyone gets $125". In fact, most people won't (or shouldn't) get any money. [Read more…]

This path is less charted and that very lack of definition is often challenging. How does one define success when there is no annual bonus or raise to validate one's work? How does one move past inertia, get unstuck when unsure what comes next or ride out the process to find new energy.
What I do now is very much about inputs, process and output. Inputs are most often books or interactions with people. Those inputs are typically processed through the filter of my observations through the act of painting or writing and in turn result in written or artistic outputs. For me reading is often a critical input, offering new perspectives and ideas, helping to move me forward. I usually read 30-40 books a year and while not all of them are life altering, I read a significant number that are exceptional and feel important to the work that I do. With that preface, there are a number of books that I read in 2012 that I found particularly noteworthy and relevant to family history and Jewish heritage. I also have read some wonderful books that are not on that theme which you can follow on Goodreads.
One of my tests of an extraordinary book is whether I retain the threads of the plot and the characters some months later. There are many books that I find entertaining, but if you asked me about them months later I would be hard pressed to tell you the plot. So part of my test for whether a book makes this list is whether it was memorable. The other is whether it adds to my personal body of knowledge, both in facts, but also in my sense of human experience as lived among those facts.
Some of the books I read and recommend from 2012 reading were addressed in an earlier blog. You can read more about A Day of Small Beginnings, Too Jewish and The List in that earlier entry.
Others which I would add to the list are the following:
The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer
At almost 800 pages this is a commitment, but one which you will be glad you made. I began this with some trepidation knowing the Holocaust loomed ahead in the history of the times. As much as I have read on this topic, I always have a bit of dread upon approaching it. And yet while the Holocaust acted upon the lives of the characters, their lives were sturdy and well developed before it made its appearance and thus didn't overshadow them. Set in Budapest and Paris it follows the life and family of Andras, a young Hungarian Jew as he goes to Paris to study architecture. There he meets Klara, a former Hungarian with a dark history. Together they are buffeted by world events as they seek to build a life together. When I went to Budapest I learned much about the experience of Jews there during WWII. This book put a human face on it and introduced characters about whom I began to care deeply. It also deepened my knowledge of the events of that time in this region as they affected the people caught up in their web.
The Little Russian by Susan Sherman
This book bears some similarities to The Invisible Bridge. Both are first novels and sagas. The book explores the life of a character who was based on the author's grandmother. I was especially interested in this book because my grandmother too came from the Ukraine, an area known as "Little Russia" from which the title derives. I also loved that the author details her very comprehensive research methodology in a blog entry.
The story is a saga that follows the life of Bertha Alshonsky in early 20th century Russia, her marriage to a man who is active in the Bund and smuggles arms to shtetls and her ultimate efforts to cross Russia to find her husband in the United States. The political backdrop is that of pogroms and the dangers associated with being Jewish that forced many of our ancestors to emigrate to the United States. As I was reading this book, I was interviewing Jewish elders and actually did an interview with a Jewish Ukrainian immigrant. She recounted her father's experience of witnessing his parents' murder in a pogrom and searching during the winter for an orphanage where he and his siblings could reside. The two stories merged effortlessly and the visual imagery was easily supplied from Sherman's narrative.
Behind Enemy Lines by Marte Cohn
This memoir was quite extraordinary and gave me a perspective on the French experience during the war. I was heading off to the International Jewish Genealogy Conference in Paris and picked it up in my search for topical literature. Cohn shares her experience as a Jew from Alsace-Lorraine, a region that is on the border between France and Germany. As a result, she grew up speaking fluent German. The family was evacuated to Poitiers as the threat of German invasion increased. They continued to live their lives as that threat became a reality. For a time Marte is employed by the Germans as a German-speaking interpreter with her blonde hair allowing her to pass. When she announces her Jewish background, she is quickly fired. The story relates how the family escapes to temporary safety in unoccupied France. With false papers they were able to survive even after the Germans occupied France. Following the execution of her fiancée, Marte joins the military where she ultimately is employed as a very successful spy behind enemy lines. The book is very much a thriller based on the life of an unusual woman who tells a compelling story.
Other books of interest include:
The Baker's Daughter by Sarah McCoy
This book is composed of two stories, one based in Germany during the war, one in El Paso, Texas. The first was far more compelling, but the common theme was how one decides what is the right thing to do. What I found interesting was the view of life within the embrace of the Nazi culture. The main character was engaged to a Nazi and her sister participated in the Lebensborn program. Ultimately she hid a young Jewish boy despite these associations.
The Forgetting River by Doreen Carvajal
I picked up this book because while I have read widely on the Jews of Eastern Europe, I know just the broad outline of my Sephardic brethren. Carvajal, a NY Times journalist, explores her heritage as a hidden Jew emerging from the Inquisition's history. She returns to live for a time in the town of Arcos de la Frontera in the Andalusian region of Spain while she researches her family's past.

Commercial & Industrial
Containers are angular and regular, but in our bespoke process, they can be modified to deliver a huge range of design styles. Whatever your vision, Steel Yard can provide the solution.
Container structures, built on a bespoke basis with commercial and industrial applications in mind are highly effective as:
Offices, marketing suites, healthcare facilities, showers & toilets, information centres, security kiosks, artist studios, portable buildings, VIP sports boxes, gatehouses & ticket offices, canteens, music festivals, changing rooms.
Using surplus shipping containers as elements of new built structures enables architects to achieve four generally desirable design goals with relative ease: Reduce costs, make a bold design statement, streamline the construction process, and improve environmental impact.
As essentially pre-welded steel structural blocks, containers save a great deal of money, energy, and other environmental resources by coming to the construction project ready-made.
The Benefits for the Commercial & Industrial Sector
Its takes over 8000kwh to make a shipping container and only 400kwh to upcycle to a modular unit. There are over 24 million unused shipping containers around the globe.
Shipping container provide modular elements that can be combined into an infinite range of larger structures. This simplifies not only design and planning but also transport, as they are already designed to interlock for ease of mobility during transportation.
Modular buildings from containers are around 30% less expensive to construct than comparable conventionally build structures.
With around 70% of fabrication being completed offsite before being delivered to site build times can be reduced by around 40% when compared to traditional building methods.
Shipping containers are, in many ways, an ideal building material by virtue of their primary intended use. They are designed to resist extremely harsh environments, corrosion resistant, and meet or exceed structural safety codes.
Pre-fabricated modules & units are designed for shipping and can easily transported by ship, truck or rail because they already conform to standard shipping sizes. In many cases exterior cladding for the final finish is shipped inside the container for final erection and completion on site.
Around the world there are reported to be approximately 24 million unused shipping containers which quite simply means there is abundance of available base inventory.
Shipping containers are designed to be supported by their four corners, which makes foundation construction very simple and quick and means less onsite disruption.
Controlling costs and adhering to budgets is vital. By using our modular container systems we avoid the common problems and uncertainties normally encountered with traditional builds.
Using containers, we are able to encompass a wide range of sustainable features into our designs such as solar energy, bio mass fuel or green roofs.

It's been said that you can tell the sophistication of a nation not by how their poor aspire to drive fancy cars but how their rich use public transport.
Since I am neither rich nor poor, I am trying this bus thing for a week. The only twist is that I am currently based in Mauritius. For those who have seen the state of the buses, I am sure you will say "respect"!
I guess you can call this a blog (a Bus Log) whilst commuting. I am en route to the AfrAsia Mauritian Open golf championship. It is the first ever event sanctioned on 3 Tours, namely the European, Asian and Sunshine Tours.
Interestingly that pretty much sums up this island – a melting pot between Europe and Asia, with some South Africa influenced thrown into the mix.
Even though it's a leisure trip today, I have a few business travel thoughts on my mind that I want to share, namely:
1. Maps
2. Buyer-Supplier Discovery
3. Spice
I am not a fan of generalizations, but I think it's fair to say that most Mauritian people grew up not using or needing maps. It's a relatively small island, stretching 80km north to south and 40km east to west. What many may not know is that for its size it happens to be one of the highest populated places on earth.
Since the people are super friendly, the common approach in finding a place is to ask a local. When you do so, the response is usually in terms of a relative position to some other (to you unknown) landmark, such as a bank, a hair dresser or a market.
Oddly enough, even the people installing high speed fibre (faster than SA speeds) usually find their next location by asking the person where they just installed it for directions.
You have this wonderful mix between high-tech and personal touch. And I guess, at an abstract level, this is what we strive for in some ways in our corporate travel programs.
So much of what we value as modern travellers is map-based buyer-supplier discovery. The wild success of Uber is testament to this.
Accurate mapping is a tough space to play in though and one can only applaud the efforts of the OpenStreetMap community, which effectively digitizes people's collective know-how and provides for an open platform for sharing and contributing mapping data.
The layers of apps that can then be based on those open data, and which don't require you to be online when travelling is of great value to the traveller.
Let's face it, business travel us stressful enough due to the pressure and uncertainties of achieving your business objectives and being taking out of your daily routine environment. Anything that helps you navigate your new daily reality effectively will be of value, and the wealth of apps aimed at this speaks to my point.
With big brand car rental in Mauritius easily costing up to ZAR 1000 per day, and taxis for a night out coming to that or more, you find yourself wishing there was an Uber nearby to commoditize the buyer-supplier discovery process.
So, to my last point: spice. Mauritius was the port of call at the heart of the fabled Spice Route, and spices have lead to most of the voyages of discovery. It is fair to say that they truly inspired travel to remote and exotic destinations. Even nowadays, when travelling, our best experiences are usually based on an amazing meal.
I think the GBTA 2015 conference theme of spicing up your travel program is thus a very apt theme. It promises to be a great event, linking buyers and suppliers, putting the new Protea Fire and Ice on the map, and helping attendees on their personal voyages of discovery in this complex and beautiful domain called travel.

We are frequently instructed to act in cases where an individual's solicitor settled a claim for less than the claimant believes that they were reasonably entitled to receive (an undervalue). The Court of Appeal recently considered this issue in detail in the case of Perry v Raleys Solicitors. In this case, the Court of Appeal concluded that a claimant's compensation claim was settled at an undervalue by the defendant solicitors. The judgment also considered issues of causation and loss of chance.
The Department for Trade and Industry (DTI) set up a scheme that provided tariff-based compensation to miners who had developed vibration white finger (VWF), a common industry injury. The scheme offered compensation in the form of general and special damages. The Scheme also provided for "service awards". A "special service award" was made if, as a result of the VWF, a claimant could no longer independently carry out certain tasks, such as DIY.
Mr Perry was employed as a coal miner. As a result of using vibratory tools, he developed VWF and was entitled to claim under the scheme. He therefore instructed the defendant firm of solicitors, Raleys, to act in relation to his claim for compensation for his injury. Raleys obtained an expert medical report which concluded that Mr Perry was suffering from VWF and identified that Mr Perry's injuries were such that he would be eligible for a service award, although this could be challenged by the DTI. The DTI made a settlement offer of £11,600, which was for general damages only with no element to compensate Mr Perry for any inability to carry out services. Mr Perry accepted this offer.
However, in February 2009, Mr Perry issued proceedings against Raleys on the basis that they had negligently failed to advise him of his potential services claim. He sought to recover damages in the sum of £17,300, plus interest.
Just two days before the professional negligence claim was heard by the court, Raleys admitted that they had been negligent in failing to advise Mr Perry about the potential service claim.
Raleys argued that even if they had advised Mr Perry of his right to pursue a "service" award, he would not have pursued this element of the claim as it was bound to fail.
The judge commented that:
The onus is on the claimant to establish on the balance of probabilities…that he would have acted differently if properly advised and the lack of opportunity to do so has caused him loss…
The issue that then arises is, if the claimant had acted differently and had made a claim for services, what were the chances of his claim being successful?
When considering this test the judge found that had Mr Perry pursued a "service award" as part of his claim, that part of the claim would have failed. He found that Raleys succeeded in their defence.
Mr Perry appealed on a number of grounds:
The Court of Appeal unanimously allowed Mr Perry's appeal.
Gloster LJ giving the leading judgment found that this was a "very rare" case where an appellate court should interfere with the factual conclusions of the trial judge. Her reasons for this were:
Gloster LJ concluded that the trial judge was "wholly wrong" to carry out a determination on the balance of probabilities as to whether Mr Perry would have succeeded in his services claim against the DTI.
Additionally, it was held that the trial judge based his conclusions entirely on 'partial and unsatisfactory cross-examination of the claimant', rather than expert medical evidence.
Gloster LJ expressed concerns that it is too easy for solicitors and their insurers to raise large obstacles to claimants. In her view, this is intellectually unsound and requires court intervention.
Damages were quantified in the agreed sum of £14,556.15, plus interest at the rate of 8% per annum for the period from the date by which any services claim would have been determined under the scheme.
This case highlights some of the difficulties facing claimants in relation to professional negligence claims where they are required to establish causation against solicitors on the basis of their negligent advice or omission, particularly where that negligent advice resulted in the underlying claim not being pursued.
The judgment in Perry v Raley Solicitors confirms that the way in which a court will decide such cases is by assessing the prospects of success of the underlying claim. The court will then make an award for damages applying a percentage discount to reflect the chance of the underlying claim failing. The judge confirmed that in these cases the court should not conduct a "trial within a trial".
What is interesting to note is that the defendant's insurers were criticised by the court for putting the claimant to proof on every aspect of the underlying claim. It was held that this approach is not appropriate where negligence has already been admitted or proven. This will be of some comfort for those acting for claimants.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - The Madison County Mental Retardation Board has dropped "mental retardation" from its name.
The agency is now referring to itself as the Madison County 310 Board after Act 310, a 1975 state law that gave local communities control over providing services to people with mental retardation. The Huntsville City Council signed off on the name change last week.
"We just need to have a name that's more reflective of the times," said City Councilman Will Culver, who sponsored the resolution. "The name is a little antiquated; it just doesn't sound current."
Madison County 310 Board Executive Director Jo Poates said that while "mental retardation" is still a medical diagnosis, affected families and people who work in the field prefer the term "intellectual disability."
"'Mental retardation' has got a stigma attached to it," Poates said Thursday. "We debated for several months about what to call ourselves and just settled on something generic. The (310 Board) name doesn't tell you much, but people seem to find us."
The agency, which falls under the umbrella of the Alabama Department of Mental Health's Division of Development Disabilities, serves more than 300 people who qualify for Medicaid assistance. Another 200 or so Madison County residents remain on a waiting list for help.
Poates said the local agency generally serves people 15 and older with IQs below 70 and deficits in daily living skills.
Former state Mental Health Commissioner John Houston gave local mental retardation boards blanket approval to drop "the R word" from their names in August 2009, when the Alabama Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation became the Alabama Department of Mental Health.
The Madison County 310 Board receives funding from various sources, including the state, Huntsville City Council and Madison County Commission. The county appoints six of its 11 board members; the city appoints five.

How did National Socialism get so big on this board?
How did National Socialism get so big on this board?

It has been tried and it was awesome it almost won like 1 vs 4.
Because true National Socialism has never been tried!
It has been tried and required almost the entire civilised world to take down at that point...
Yeah, but that wasn't REAL national socialism
that wasn't REAL national socialism
What was missing for it to be real Nationalsozialismus?
fascism always arises during times of increased Marxist activism.
We are the anti-bodies here to purge the infection.
free speech
Cred Forums
or simply this board has been subverted by stormfront
Ron Paul getting rekt in 2012 seemed to end alot of libertarians here. Also a general feeling the disconnect between left and right, elites and normal people, especially the average white person, has become so great violence is inevitable.
Because Cred Forums is full of spergs who don't contribute IRL in any way to White Nationalism
How did National Socialism get so big on this board?
It has always been this way. Since /new/.
Cred Forums was created si /new/ would not get filled with skinheads and stormweenies
Live in a society that tells you that nazis are EVIL!!!!!
Thus LARP as a nazi ironically just to be edgy
End up paying attention on what you say
Daddy Hitler works his magic on you
Become a Fashy goy
It hurls, life was much more easy when I was a freedom-loving democracy-believer progressive, and now I am a fascist-monarchist who wants to build a Solar Empire to conquer the stars
People like me believe in National Socialism with all our hearts and souls and with all our minds we know it is right. They lambasted Hitler as a prophet in his time and what is he now but a prophet? We have been arguing with a passion to get our ideas across and it shows.
Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a group of chaotic neutral tricksters that derived great and resounding joy from destroying and mocking anything that normal people considered sacred. These tricksters would organize various operations just to fuck with people for the keks– well, we called it lulz in those days. On one day this group of people would destroy a white nationalist radio host, and some other days use Nazi symbols. There is no common ideology when you want to see the world burn, you see. After /b/ became invaded by unfunny and uncreative newfags after we decided that a for-profit cult was just too lulzy to not fuck with, and the media started to report on us, similar to the scare stories of 'satanic' metal in the 80's and those super dangerous 'raves' in the 90's, many of those chaotic neutral tricksters moved to a new board called /new/. There they made huge amounts of original content of every kind, designed to keep the newfags from spoiling their fun. This fag named m00t didn't get the joke, nor did he recognize that the fags on /new/ were, in fact, the very sacred (to him) originators of original content whom fled /b/ after epic-fail-mask. He deleted the board in his autistic rage. Anyway, after some time he made Cred Forums and brought back [r9k], and those same intrepid tricksters began again their quest to troll the world. What they don't want you to know, however, is that those all singing, all dancing shit-flinging trolls of the world started to <actually hate Jews and niggers>. Thus, the spirit of Cred Forums was [reeee]born.
1000 years.
National Socialism preys on the weak, the failures, the shunned of society. Stormweenies knew they were the scum of society and decided to try spread their propaganda to those they knew would be most receptive: the weak-minded, desperate for belonging, Cred Forums locals. As their propaganda spread, it became more entrenched in the meme culture of the board. Now it's here and everyone LARPs as Nazis. Except for the few suckered failures at life who think they're actually in a NatSoc board.
I'm just not going to get into the /n/ story so don't even go there
implying there are any other oldfags here
The stormweenie colonizers were already hated in /n/ but Moot wouldn't get rid of them because being a bastion for edgelords to post shit kept his lights on.
Being a commie is kinda lame.
Plus Nazis have nice fashion sense.
Here comes the kike parasite with his pop psychology. You're going into the ovens alive this time. Alive, we want you to hear the screams of your wife and children as they burn you vile plague on humanity.
be 2012
Cred Forums is half libertarian half national socialist
libertarians keep getting btfo in arguments
they start noticing all the jewish "coincidences"
start noticing how awful nonwhites are in general
crime statistics are read and understood
"per capita"
down the rabbit hole they go
basically once a libertarian realizes they can't have their magical fantasy country because niggers and spics will always demand gibs, they quickly become way more racist and begin to have fascist ideas. They usually get their first taste with the whole "throwing commies out of helicopters" meme. and the more research they do the more they notice jews are behind everything they hate.
It is the opposite of Communism and the only thing ever sworn to actually fight Communism.
imagine being this edgy, how's high school going champ?
Go be edgy in a different thread, bong. This one is needed since the faggots from Le Donald think it's serious shit here.
Cred Forums was never good!
Wasn't this bad before either, sadly. Russia / CTR / Le Donald really did a number on it.
start noticing how awful nonwhites are in general
Asians and Indians are ok
and the only thing ever sworn to actually fight Communism.
Ever hear the expression Better Dead than Red? Yea it wasn't a NatSoc who came up with that
Guys watch out using that word. This girl will chop your dick off.
I agree. they have proven to be decent, civilized people. Even Hitler liked them, and Ghandi was a fan of the fuhrer. however they are a small minority in the US compared to blacks and mexicans who fuck everything up.
By being the only ideology which conforms to the laws of biology and nature.
Survival of the fittest / strongest. Dominate those who are weaker than you and all that sort of stuff right?
National Socialism is nothing more than the application of scientific principles to human society.
If you honestly believe in science, and you think about it long enough, in the end you will become a National Socialist.
Our job here is to speed up that thought process in the minds of everyday people.
National Socialism doesn't prey on anyone. It elevates the best of us, supports the rest of us, and safeguards to ensure the worst of us don't pull the rest down to their level.
Our nations are being erased in front of our very eyes and you cowards do nothing you don't even want to talk about it let alone argue let alone convince others that in their hearts they must reject it out right if we are to have even a chance of survival. I like my culture, my traditions and history, my nation, my race just the way they are. I would die for these things, our forefathers toiled and suffered to make our nations great. Don't be the generation that throws it all way. Say something, do something this cannot be the end of us.
it is standard containment tactics of international jewry.
everyone promoting nazism on board are either getting paid ((((8ch))) shills) or are 12yo and retarded.
she won't need to be dealt with at all, statistically it's most likely that her black boyfriend will be the one to deal with her.
and nothing of value will be lost.
Lol it was tried and worked extremely well, but you wouldn't know since you've been told lies all you life in Germany.
We already had to nuke you twice, ling ling. Make of a manry rearning.
I can't get laid: the post
/b/ started it as a joke and to be edgy.../r9k/ those autistic virgin pukes, didn't get the joke and thought it was real.
now they're trying to ruin /k/.
Childhood is following National Socialism. Manhood is following Facism.
If you understand the JQ then you should know. You must be a newfag.
wew lad, nothing wrong with wanting to protect your people, culture, and race. Just don't be a complete fucking edgelord in doing so
Like most things on Cred Forums started as an ironic joke normies took it serious and now it's here.
How did it get so big
It was always. Let me break down the history for you newfags, boomerfags, etc.
/n/ was shut down due to complaints from other boards because the majority of topics were from or hijacked repeatedly by white nationalist Neo-Nazis. The Stormfront-is-Cred Forums "conspiracy" used to be real but their intentions were right-leaning education to push for factual realism and true critical thinking in counter to the wide yet shallow media narrative.
/n/ was brought back as Cred Forums because, well, this is Cred Forums and you never really leave. Neither did the redpill group which was, sprouted up from, and remained due to the infographic bombardment factual realists, Nazis and LARPers pursued.
In the early days of Cred Forums the vast majority of threads were about targeting media bias, racially tense public cases, and massive threads of infodumps about the people in sociopolitical power (Jews and their goals). Redpill as we know it today majorly stems from those of us who were there before or joined around this time. In a few months the Treyvon and Zimmerman debacle hit major public perception and that whole ordeal is what cemented a critical thinking mindset against the bias of our overlords, and really blew the board up.
In short, Cred Forums was always this way, and while NatSoc Nazism is (for most of us) a running gag to inflame outsiders, the core tenets revolve around realistic, non emotionally based views of the social, political, and financial powers that be.
Let me end on one note:
The meaning of conspiracy has been corrupted by the media so that most people attribute anything that approaches critically analyzing the state of our media and political climate as a crackpot theory.
That's because National Socialism is the correct political ideology
Because the TRUTH tends to flourish in spaces with no caste of lefty moderators stamping out and censoring ideas. Notice how the opposite happens in reddit, wikipedo, tumblr, faceberg and similar platforms owned and moderated by far-left extremists.
and worked extremely well
worked extremely well
user I......
Should have read the thread before I commented you hit it on the head.
Fuck off Leftypol.
Nazis didn't lose because of their political philosophy, they lost because of their military strategy you fucking brainlet
Is that what you've convinced yourself of? How small minded can you be? Can you not see that through this place we have a voice to spread our ideas to a generation of young men. We encourage them to spread the word and our ideas will be out there. They carry the sentiments they pick up from this place and it influences their behaviour. To all those who had turned to National Socialism before coming here thyroid are now emboldened that what they felt deep down was right and just is so and they were right. The problem is not with them for upholding tradition and virtue in a decaying society that is masquerading as progressive but with society itself.
Seventy years of this none sense is enough they have taken it too far. We will not be replaced, we will not give up our heritage, we will never capitulate to these degenerates.
Aesthetics and it was a good strategy to keep both kosher sides off this board.
What is unfree about your speech here? Mount an intellectual challenge to the inherent wisdom of national socialism; if you dare. No one ever has. I'm not from Stormfront. Try me. I dare you.
Forgot to add this.
Natsoc is a beast, the capitalists and commies will never let it rise again.
muh living space
overextend into "muh living space"
women raped by Russians
Seems like the ideology was exactly what caused it, home slice.
Once you begin noticing the coincidences, you can't stop noticing them.
Nazis didn't lose because of their political philosophy
They absolutely did you fucking brainlet. Their political philosophy led to astounding debt and rearmament which ate up 20% of GDP. In fact, it's argued that the poor economic practices of Nazi Germany played a role in their need to conquer neighboring countries especially Poland:
Starting in 1934 German began to issue MEFO bills. They were similar to a 6 month bond but they were off the official register and could be rolled over indefinitely. We don't even know how many were issued as they were specifically designed to obfuscate German spending but its been estimated that they were eventually issued at up to 300% of the total GNP per year. And those were on top of normal taxes and bonds.
While this is a hot topic of debate there is a reasonably well laid out argument that Hitler was forced to invade Poland because the German economy was set to melt down in 1941. We know that Germany had banned most imports in the mid 30's and had mandatory exports of machinery and consumer goods. Furthermore a cornerstone of the 1939 treaty with the Soviet Union was a complex system of credits that guaranteed German imports from the Soviet Union while guaranteeing Soviet purchases of finished German goods. Both the Germans and the Soviets spoke of the coming partitioning of Poland in economic terms.
George Soros and Media Matters wants America to get swallowed up in race wars so they can strip our rights
nobody is a nazi on Cred Forums it's 100% larping, meming, and all the "serious" stuff is ShareBlue trying to subvert Cred Forums's Christian populist views
It's a lost cause trying to explain history to a Nazi now he's just going to come back and say something something Jews rewrote history something something.
What the fuck is the matter with you all. Have you all tuned in to sheep? Are you so stupid and ignorant that even when the threat is in front of your face you still can't see it? Do you not care for your future? Your children's future? Is this what your forefathers wanted for you? Is this what you want for your children? This is how you honor all the work and sacrifice your forefathers went through to build all you see around you? This how how you show your appreciation? You ridicule me with your pop psychology tripe?
This is good bait.
here's a challenge to any self-admitted Nazi. Name 1 (one) good strategic decision made by Hitler in WW2.
First off I kek so hard at this feels good man .jpeg. So you are trying to tell me if you push libertarians far enough they turn into a group on the other side of the political spectrum.
Invasion of Poland wasn't about "muh living space", it was to rescue Germans that were being massacred by the Polish in the thousands that lived in the lands that were formerly Germany. Apparently that action was so horrible that Churchill decided he needed to completely destroy Germany and had to refuse to accept any of Hitler's numerous calls for peace... all for the Jews and leading to the 3% of the world population. Fuck you
I seriously fucking hate NatSocs. Larping fags should just kill themselves already
*death of 3% of the world population
Think about it
Cred Forums was natsoc from the start.
Death to all government-dependent niggers.
Still uses the term "Stormweenies"
Believer in Jewish constructed memes of what a white nationalist looks like
Muh dick psychology
Keep dancing for us pal, we sure need more Boomer jesters like you.
Because your trash who care only for yourselves. Your nations means nothing to you and that's why you need to go.
this. national socialism is a fucking joke of an ideology which was an objective failure. the economic success of the third reich is due in large part to slavery, a system historically proven to be unsustainable. you know who never failed and never got conquered? based francisco franco, that's who
I don't care for my nation are you kidding me our nation was built on the stance of libertarianism and I'm trying to keep it that way.
national socialism is a fucking joke of an ideology which was an objective failure. the economic success of the third reich is due
Are you disgust kike vermin even trying?
the economic success of the third reich is due in large part to slavery
Holy shit people really post nonsense like this on /nu/pol these days
Cool story bro
Invade through Belgium and trapping the Brits and French.
we will see... there is still much to be done, by all of us.
Hitler was a very effective diplomat, not strategist.
This. Stormfags are all boomers, and they don't really beleive in the same brand of natsoc as Cred Forums
We should make a discord or something. We need to get rid of these humongous faggots. Cred Forums is a laughing stock because of them literally nobody likes stormniggers.
Franco was an antisemite, as am i. quit being a child, Nazism is stupid
nothing is real, everything is a lie
Good fortunes on your travels, user.
that was von Manstein's plan, try again
effective diplomat
alienate nearly every western power around you even after they had a policy of appeasement
chose one and one only
Slavery? lmao kike you need to open a history book. Francisco didn't get conquered because he didn't do anything to challenge the kike world order. You're getting gased bro you can't fight it now.
No, it didn't start as a joke. At the beginning there was actually quality post, yeah imagine this; 4channers actually reseached things like a giant commitè in all seriousness. We discovered so many things you could just imagine. Now it's not like this anymore, just reddit.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united humanity free from Jews, for which it stands, One Nation, Undivided, against all Kikery. Amen.
Whilst you ignore what is at the very heart of americas success? Do you think a mongrelised and degenerate people that hardly resemble their forefathers can sustain this greatness? All that was americas heritage from Europe is being attacked your history rewritten, your identity erased and you care to preserve the system? Preserve the people you idiot, the greatness is in them!
Nazis didn't use forced labor camps.
denying the numbers and use of legal gas is one thing (and objectively true). pretending the whole thing never happened is fucking stupid
You're getting gased bro
idk why this cracked me up.
legal gas
National socialism failed in every goal it set for itself in actually improving the welfare of the German people, and that's before starting the biggest war in European history and getting millions of people killed, their own country shattered, their leadership wiped out, and cementing the hegemony of their ideological enemies.
Bad diplomat
Totally annex three entire countries for free even though it isn't allowed, convince the western powers you're not the bad guy so they cease mobilization, break every single rule in a treaty you are bound by with threat of war and get away with it by merely talking and smiling.
Pick one and only one.
no retard, it's rabid fanatics like you who get sent to the camps first. useful idiots exist in both sides of the spectrum
They did put kikes in camps. Their economic success up to 1939 had nothing to do with kikes in camps.
i'd wager it has something to do with the wide open border to the south.
An empire can last at most 300 years
Prove me wrong.
Because Communism is rearing its ugly head
bro they were using camps long before they sent the jews there. they were sending anarchists, criminals, and leftists there for years before they started up with the jews
failed in every goal it set for itself in actually improving the welfare of the German people, and that's before starting the biggest war in European history
NatSoc Germany had a ridiculously high quality of life, people felt purpose and had a strong sense of community and nation, and they had great wages compared OURS now, and this is right after the horrible depression Germany was experiencing.. You are a retard shill
That had nothing to do with their economic success.
Totally annex three entire countries for free even though it isn't allowed, convince the western powers you're not the bad guy so they cease mobilization, break every single rule in a treaty you are bound by with threat of war and get away with it by merely talking and smiling.
Hitler didn't get away with that because of his superior charm and wit, he was a bit of an autist tbqh with you. He got away with that because the Allies had just been traumatized by the worst war in history and were trying to avoid repeating it. Their program of appeasement was put in place as a way to avoid another war, not because Big Dick Hitler finessed it out of the Allies
muh stormfront
This board would be very different if we spent all our time debating the whiteness of Greeks
Because normal healthy people are tired of seeing society decay because of the fee fees of queers, nogs, feminists and their jew controllers.
Be your afraid kike you're losing this battle of ideas and if it can take hold here it can take hold else where. The Jewish question will be discussed in every forum online and in people private conversations. Then public conversation and that's when you know you're fucked. No one believes your lies anymore you vermin.
Utter nonsense; the war is not reflective upon national socialism.
yeah free labor has zero economic impact. great argument.
let the real fascists talk now, son. it's past your bedtime

News! The Caerhays magnolia collection has (after inspection) been deemed
worthy/accepted by the RHS Rhododendron, Camellia and Magnolia Group as being
'outstanding'. A plaque to follow I expect and a press release to prepare before Chelsea.
On reflection this is the fifth successive year that the garden and/or Burncoose Nurseries
has received some sort of 'official' recognition or award as, perhaps the culmination of a
century or more, of hard work by everyone involved in creating something special and
unique here. Perhaps / surely another party is suggested? Too busy at present and with
Chelsea looming!
Camellia 'Extravaganza' shattered by the east wind. It will now need a hard pruning to reshoot from 2-3 feet of trunk
Royalty I think and not, as yet, worthy of a name.
off her so they didn't make the incubator.
These are Jaimie and Michael's entries at the Rosemoor Show over the weekend together with the prizes awarded (or not!).
2017 – CHWA garden visit to Penrice Castle on the Gower Peninsula and a superb lunch in their new 5* seafront restaurant.
Magnolia sapiensis doing well in a dry but shady location.
Early to Rosemoor for the RHS rhododendron show. During judging I found a plant in the garden of Lithocarpus henryi which I do not think grows at Caerhays but which was certainly here once. It is quite similar to Quercus acuta or Quercus glabra in some respects and is one we ought to propagate.
Litsea populifolia
Camellia 'unknown' (a form of Camellia tsai?)
Lindera ?
Camellia reticulata ?
Now that the 'smellies' are nearly full out time to brief Asia on the ones to take cuttings from in five to six weeks' time when they are soft. Rhododendron sinonuttalii has buds for the first time here. A huge plant grew on the conservatory at Burncoose as the picture shows but the scent was overpowering and too noxious to risk cutting a flower for indoors.
We look at Rhododendron 'Logan Damaris' which my father always said was the best yellow. The original clump by the podocarpus forest died out years ago but yellows have improved mightily in 40 years and we pass by with little Scottish adulation.Magnolia yuchelia does however grab attention as well it should and there is another good plant above Crinodendron Hedge.
Michelia 'Touch of Pink' is just coming out in a very sheltered spot. It should be 'Touch of Purple' really as that is what the ends of the buds have today.
First house martins seen.
David announced his intentions with regard to Sarah Williams. XXXXX Day.
Birmingham Show. Most daffs are over, Marvel are good, a few Frian left. Saw the first of my big crop for making Mrs JCW rhodo come into flower, it was sown in 1901.
Came back from Appleshaw and Drill Hall last night, a few Marvel seedlings to open and a late poet or two, other things nearly over, picked and opened a ripe bud of Cyclamineus. The best things seen at the Drill Hall and Appleshaw were 'Mrs Berkley and White Queen with Betty Berkley'. Bought a poet.

Everyone hears about California. Everyone sees all sorts of different TV programs and movies that are filmed in California. But moving here has been so much more special than anything that I ever saw on TV or heard about. I was thinking about this as I was looking for Mission Viejo apartments for rent for my upcoming move. The people in this state are absolutely beautiful. The food is so much more different than what I ate in the Eastern portion of the US for most of my life. I knew that I was going to like it here as soon as I had been here for just a few days.
I went to school back east, and I knew that when I graduated I would probably need to find a job somewhere else in the rest of the United States. The school that I went to was located in a medium-sized town, but there weren't as many opportunities as I really wanted. I didn't want to be stuck in a lackluster job for years, so my plan was to start looking around at jobs and State all across the country as soon as I receive my diploma. I ended up Landing a job here in California.
After I was told that I landed the job, I flew out immediately so that I could find a place to live. The company manager told me that there was a cluster of apartments that many of their employees live in and they are very happy there. So I figured I would start there. I love the weather here, and I love being able to go to the beach whenever I want to. I live close enough to my new office that I can drive a bike to every day. It's not even necessary for me to have a car here.

For homeowners still underwater from the mortgage and real estate meltdown of the last decade, good news is being reported for the Phoenix Metro area today from Zillow. The online real estate website is placing Phoenix at the TOP of the list for home value increases for 2012 out of 30 top U.S. metro areas and projecting a 6.5% average increase in home values in the Phoenix area in 2012. This is great news for homeowners that are looking to sell that may still be upside down in their current home's mortgage. It is also a GREAT time for buyers. The bottom of the market has come and gone, but guess what… rates are still at historic lows and although for the past 60+ days we have seen homes selling at higher than list prices here in the valley, buyers can still get a great deal. Remember, home prices dipped down so far over the past 5 years that even with these reported gains, buyers still have a great opportunity. So why are you waiting? For more on the Zillow story and for a chart of the 30 metro areas that were looked at, check out…

Principal Forgiveness Gains Appeal
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could save $1.7 billion if they forgave principal on some distressed mortgages, new analysis show.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency– which regulates the mortgage giants — may decide in the next few weeks about whether to use principal forgiveness as a foreclosure prevention tactic, said Edward DeMarco, acting director of the FHFA while speaking Tuesday at the Brookings Institution.

Consumer Attitudes Stabilize, Positivity Spreads
As we enter into the second quarter of 2012, not only is America in the midst of an economic recovery, but consumer attitudes toward the economy and spending are improving as well. For example, in previous years, as summer gas prices went up, consumers went into a frenzy of sorts cutting back on gas consumption and they reduced spending on extras in order to make up the difference they were paying at the pump. This year, while consumers are in fact upset at the gas price increases, we are seeing consumers still spending, an indication that the economy for the majority of Americans is improving. According to a February 2012 Fannie Mae survey, consumer attitudes toward key economic and housing issues have begun to stabilize. In fact, 35% of American's feel that the economy is on the right track, up 19 points just since November of last year. In addition, 76% of American's do not fear losing their job, up 6%. As America continues to add more jobs in the private sector and unemployment continues to drop, consumer confidence will continue to rise and spending will increase as well.

What's the Reason Why You Want to Buy Your Next Home?
Buyers and sellers look to me every day to help them make their dream of home ownership come true. Their big "why's" are always different. Sometimes they are starting a new family and need more space, Sometimes they are getting ready for retirement and are downsizing, or maybe they just want a new neighborhood. No matter what the reason, as a REALTOR, I am always so fascinated to learn what people's big "why" is and what is motivating them to want to move. What is your big why? What is the reason you want to buy your next home?

Recently, former first child of the united states, Chelsea Clinton continues to be utilizing her fingertips to spark a significant mix on the internet. However now it seems her numbers that are governmental are also difficult at the office outside the Internets. Clinton is likely to be delivering a children's guide appropriately titled, She Endured This Might — about 13 ladies who transformed enormous resistance to attain their objectives.
You'll remember the name is borrowed from Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell's reaction to Elizabeth Warren presumably impugning his status throughout the verification reading of Attorney-General nominee Jeff Periods. Warren formally silenced while trying to study a poetry compiled by Scott King replied and was cut brief Warren was providing an extended talk. She'd seemed to break the guideline. She was informed. She was handed a reason. Nonetheless, she persisted."
Guide that is Clinton's may function Sotomayor, Helen Keller Bly Claudette Colvin, Clara Lemlich Margaret Smith Ride Joyner and Harriet Tubman.
She also surrounded around an appearance by one additional essential feminine number, hint, hint. YA MOTHA
Clinton informed Entertainment Weekly, "The 13 ladies in She Endured all transformed difficulty to greatly help form our country—sometimes through talking out, occasionally by remaining resting, occasionally by fascinating an audience. With this specific guide, I do want to deliver a note to youthful visitors round the nation — and also the globe — that perseverance is power."
Her guide, that will be highlighted by Alexandra Boiger (whose function is fairly freaking excellent) arrives in shops May 30th. We anticipate tweets and crazy protests.
