Duckworth picks up Illinois Senate seat for Democrats
Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth unseated Republican Sen. Mark Kirk on Tuesday, becoming the second woman to represent Illinois in the chamber and delivering a win that her party is banking on as it attempts to retake control of the Senate. (Nov. 8) AP
CHICAGO — Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth defeated incumbent Sen. Mark Kirk Tuesday in a race for the Illinois Senate seat that Democrats had viewed as a must-win for their hopes of wresting control of the upper chamber of Congress.
But the victory in Illinois proved to be a rare bright spot for Democrats on a hight when they failed to flip seats in Arizona, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina and Ohio, and their dreams of taking control of the Senate slipped away.
The two-term House lawmaker and Iraq war veteran held a 54.% to 40% lead with 95% of ballots counted. Duckworth, a U.S. Army pilot who lost both of her legs when her helicopter was shot down in fighting in Iraq in 2004, paid homage in her victory speech to her fellow troops that helped her survive that day.
"Just as I try every day to live up to the sacrifice my buddies made to carry me off that battlefield, I will go to work in the Senate looking to honor the sacrifice and quiet dignity of all those Illinoisans who are facing challenges of their own," she said. "I believe in an America that doesn't give up on anyone who hasn't given up on themselves."
On the trail, Duckworth focused her message on middle- and working-class families, often speaking of her own family's struggles growing up. In her victory speech, she touched on the struggles of American workers who have seen a changing economy pass them by.
"My dad was one of those people," she told supporters. "He lost his job in his fifties, and our middle-class existence was turned on its head. I am here today because of public schools, food stamps, Pell Grants, and safety nets designed to help people who have been knocked down. Some view these as entitlements. I view them as investments — in our nation, in each other."
Heading into the race, Kirk was seen as the most vulnerable Republican incumbent as both parties focused much of their attention on eight competitive races nationwide that were expected to determine which party will control the Senate.
In his concession speech, Kirk congratulated Duckworoth and said that he had invited Duckworth to meet him for a drink at the city's Billy Goat Tavern.
"This beer summit will show kids throughout Illinois that opponents can peacefully bury the hatchet after a tough election," Kirk said. "What unites us as Americans is much stronger than what divides us."
In a typical presidential election year in deep blue Illinois, Kirk would have faced an uphill battle for reelection.This race was even more complicated for the GOP senator.
The one-term senator saw his fortunes dragged down by the Republican presidential nominee, despite the fact that he was the first GOP federal lawmaker to withdraw his endorsement from Donald Trump.
Kirk also found himself having to reassure voters that he was physically up to the job after suffering a major stroke in 2012, which left him using a wheel chair.
More than 53% of likely voters said they believed Kirk could no longer perform his duties, according to a poll conducted last month by Victory Research, an independent polling firm based in Chicago. The Republican-leaning editorial board of the Chicago Tribune also raised concerns about his health in its decision to endorse Duckworth.
At the end of the campaign, Kirk found himself on the defensive after making a biting reference to Duckworth's ethnic heritage (her mother is an immigrant from Thailand of Chinese descent and her father, who served as a U.S. Marine, is of British heritage) during a debate last month. "I had forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington," Kirk said.
The next day Kirk apologized to Duckworth.
Still, in the final days of the campaign Kirk remained on the defensive over the controversial comment and other intemperate statements during his time in the Senate (In August, he caught flack for deriding President Obama as the "drug dealer in chief" over a White House approved $400 million payment to Iran linked to the release of American prisoners. Last year, he faced criticism for referring to his colleague Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., as a "bro with no ho."
"I am absolutely not a racist," Kirk insisted during the final debate of the campaign.
Throughout the campaign, Duckworth painted Kirk as a Trump lackey despite the senator ditching the man at the top of his ticket in June after he disparaged an Indiana federal judge, who Trump said could not be impartial to him because of his Mexican heritage.
The senator bucked his party more than any of his GOP colleagues in the Senate during his nearly six years in office.
He attempted to play up his moderate bonafides with Chicago suburbanites by playing up his support for stricter gun laws, his backing of same-sex marriage and rejecting his party's effort to defund Planned Parenthood. At the same time, he attempted to reassure downstate Republicans that he would fight efforts by a potential Clinton White House to raise taxes on the wealthy.
Kirk in campaign ads and on the stump branded Duckworth as an ineffective public servant, particularly during her time heading the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs before running for Congress. He turned to a few former VA workers who charge Duckworth showed poor leadership during her time leading the agency.

The Goodnight Thread
From Sydapedia
The Goodnight Thread is an infamous thread on the SydLexia.com forums that was started by GPFontaine. GPF wished everyone a good night, and Dr. Jeebus followed suit. Then Syd flipped out and pointed out that everyone lives in different time zones and declared the thread to be idiotic. Then a small flame war broke out.
- This is a great example of what NOT to post on the General board.
- The Goodnight Thread was the 6193rd topic started on the SydLexia.com forums.
- GPF reformed and went on to become a well-respected member of the boards.(citation needed)

The Apollo project was a 1960s-era program to get a U.S. spacecraft to the moon. Initially, the idea was an unmanned mission, but it wasn't long before an American president stated—quite publicly—the goal of putting a man on the moon and getting him back safely. As we all know, this goal was accomplished in 1969.
However, to this day, there's a small but adamant minority who believe it was faked, with footage shot in the desert of the American Southwest. Fun fact: The late Stanley Kubrick, a movie director, was dogged by the rumor that he participated in the fraud. This idea persists after his death, being raised again in the documentary "Room 237," which is specifically about "The Shining," and it points out that in that film, a child actor wears an "Apollo 11" sweater. (Coincidence? We think so! Costumes are selected by a wardrobe designer, not the director, after all).
But there's more to the Apollo missions than just the one that put a man (actually, two men) on the moon. The story of the Apollo project is one that includes tragedy along with triumph, hard work, setbacks and scientific inquiry. How much do you know about this important chapter in American history? Find out now with our quiz!
Apollo was the Greek god of the sun, depicted as driving it across the sky as a flaming chariot. He is also associated with rational thought and learning. So, overall, an excellent choice. (As much as we loved the old "Battlestar Galactica," with its heroic Captain Apollo, it premiered long after the lunar missions).
For this question, the devil is in the details. NASA stands for "National Aeronautics and Space Administration," not "Air and Space." Nor is the second "A" for "Agency," as some people might tell you. It's an "Administration."
Yuri Gagarin, of the USSR, was the first human to escape the Earth's atmosphere in a spacecraft. This inflamed America's desire to explore space as well, matching the accomplishments of the Soviet Union, then our political and cultural rival. Alan Shepard was, however, the first American in space.
Project Apollo lasted for 12 years. Kennedy was still in office when the final mission flew; he would be assassinated the following year in Dallas, and the lunar missions would stand as a tribute to his sense of optimism and adventure.
Apollo 11 was launched in July 1969, with a three-man crew. If you chose (or were tempted by) "Apollo 13," it's likely because it was the subject of a movie by Ron Howard. "Apollo 13" was about an aborted lunar landing and the struggle to get the crippled craft and its astronauts home safely.
John Glenn's triumphs came earlier. Well, and later. He was the first American to get into orbit, as opposed to just into space, in 1962. Later, he became a successful U.S. senator from Ohio. We lost Glenn in late 2016.
Though overshadowed by Apollo 11, the Apollo 17 mission was an ambitious one that also put men on the surface of the moon. It was the longest lunar orbit and lunar landing, and it brought home more geologic material than any other mission.
Ask many Americans, and they'll probably think either of Armstrong and Aldrin, or of Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, the entire three-man crew of the Apollo 11 mission. Later lunar missions didn't get nearly the same amount of attention.
The nickname "Buzz" came from Aldrin's sister mispronouncing the word "brother" as "buzzer." At least, that's the story. But really, a high school football star who became a fighter pilot and then an astronaut ... Why wouldn't you call him "Buzz"? "Edwin" just doesn't seem to fit.
Scientists wanted the soil and rocks to learn about the moon's geologic history, past volcanic activity and the like. These things can tell us a lot about the history of the Earth, as well. However, we can't help but wonder if a certain amount of lunar material went for "souvenirs," secretly passed out to kids or used to impress first dates. Maybe we're just being cynical.
The lunar module was the craft that went down to the surface of the moon to make a soft landing (one in which the craft wasn't destroyed by the impact). The most famous one was the "Eagle," whose name allowed for the famous phrase, "The Eagle has landed."
Eisenhower was a well-liked former general of the Army, who was the Supreme Allied Commander of U.S. forces in World War II, managing Operation Overlord (better known as the D-Day invasion). John F. Kennedy gets a lot of credit for the Apollo missions, having stated explicitly the goal of putting a man on the moon, but he wasn't the first president involved with Apollo.
This doesn't sound like a great distance in the context of "all of outer space," but it's about the distance from Los Angeles to Austin, Texas. Most satellites operate in LEO, as does the International Space Station.
The fatal fire took place during a launch rehearsal, not the attempted launch itself (which, obviously, never happened). It was a terrible start to the lunar exploration program, and the mission's name, Apollo 1, was retired to honor the dead.
Virgil "Gus" Grissom had made two previous trips into space. He was the second American to achieve suborbital flight, after Alan Shepard. With service in both World War II and the Korean War, two spaceflights and an engineering degree from Purdue University, Grissom packed a lot into a life cut short.
The Apollo 13 accident was somewhat unusual in that it took place more than two days into the mission. Most mechanical problems would be expected to occur during launch or re-entry. But the astronauts were 56 hours in and had just turned on oxygen-stirring fans in the service module when the tank exploded, creating a crisis.
NASA overruled the astronauts on this one, finding the names too lighthearted, given that the public would be hearing them in new stories. "Columbia" and "Eagle" were chosen because they were national symbols. The former is a poetic alternate name for America, while the bald eagle is, of course, America's national emblem.
There is no consumer-issue telescope powerful enough to spot the American flags (there's more than one) on the moon. Don't let that discourage you from checking out the lunar surface: as Earth's closest neighbor, it makes for great viewing. A Schmidt-Cassegrain-style scope, with a wide, solid body that "folds" the beam of light several times for maximum clarity in a small space, is ideal for moon viewing.
Each mission had a "prime" crew, a "backup" crew and a third "support" crew. If there's one thing space flight requires, it's contingency plans.Throughout the Apollo program, astronauts got pretty accustomed to switching back and forth between these roles, as medical or other issues necessitated changes in the prime crew.
When Aldrin joined Armstrong on the moon's surface, they exchanged comments about the scene, with Armstrong responding "Magnificent sight out here" and Aldrin adding, "Magnificent desolation." This friendly exchange belies Aldrin's resentment over being the second one out of the lunar module; an original plan had him going out the door first, making him the first man to step on the moon.
The Apollo missions are sometimes credited with the rising interest in environmentalism in the 1970s. This is largely due to the image of Earth as a self-contained ecosystem in space, captured by the crew of Apollo 17. To many, the photo underscores both the unity and fragility of planet Earth.
The choice of name was fairly practical: A previous family of rockets had been called "Jupiter," after the fifth planet in our solar system, and Saturn is the sixth planet. The Saturn rockets capably launched the Apollo command modules into space with no significant problems.
Von Braun is a somewhat polarizing figure in American science history. Undeniably a genius, he worked in his early years for the Third Reich before defecting to the United States and helping NASA to get its spacecraft off the ground. He became a devout Christian after coming to America.
Did you think the person talking to the crew would be a NASA egghead from within the ground crew? So did we, but it turns out that NASA felt an astronaut would be best able to understand what the crew was trying to tell him and relay information back. That's why a fellow space jockey (or at least an aspiring one) filled the role.
Returning spacecraft and astronauts always make a water landing. The three Apollo 11 spacefarers were retrieved from the Pacific Ocean and taken to the USS Hornet, where no less a figure than the President of the United States waited to greet them.
Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the Sea of Tranquility and left the lunar module for a bit more than two hours. During this time, the pair collected soil samples for analysis back on Earth. They also took pictures and hit some golf balls—you know, the usual tourist stuff.
Though NASA scientists understood that the risk of pathogens from the moon was low, because of its dry, sterile environment, they didn't take any chances. Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins had to greet well-wishers like President Nixon and the head of NASA through the window of an isolation room.
The "moon" speech is an example of the power of stirring oratory. Kennedy's speech, linking the Apollo project to the American spirit of ambition and exploration, went a long way to overcoming the near-60-percent opposition to a lunar mission. Needless to say, Kennedy didn't mention the projected $22 billion price tag.
The whole quote is, "Whoopee! That may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me!" He was joking about being shorter than Armstrong, so it was a bigger step down off the ladder for Conrad.
Aldrin was a practicing Presbyterian and brought the elements for communion with him on the Apollo 11 mission. He later said that he had mixed feelings about conducting a specifically Christian ritual on the moon, as he and Armstrong were there to represent all of humanity, whatever their religion.
Many people have noted that while Armstrong's sentiment was clear, it really doesn't make sense as he said it. "Man" and "mankind" are used interchangeably to mean "humanity," so the word "a" before "man" was needed for adequate contrast. (You can listen to the recording and try to discern the article "a" in his speech, but it really isn't there).
Skylab was an early 1970s space station, which used the Apollo Telescope Mount. Skylab crashed back down to Earth in 1979, with the world's eyes on it, wondering where it was going to land. Western Australia turned out to be the winner. Given the ingenuity of Australians, we like to think that a couple of back-country mechanics put it back together and are happily flying around in it to this day.
A "soft landing" means the craft is undamaged and able to perform activities on the surface of the moon (e.g., take soil samples). Most recently, China made a soft landing on the dark side of the moon, the first mission ever to land there. (It's nice to get away from all the noise and traffic of the tourist side, we suppose).
An "A" mission was the launch of an unmanned vehicle; Apollo 4 and 6 were of this type. The most ambitious mission, the "J-type," involved a multi-day lunar orbit and lunar landing, and this was, in fact, achieved with the final mission, Apollo 17.
So far, only the United States holds this distinction. It's hard to understand why other countries haven't followed suit. We mean, after the U.S. found a source of cheap fuel up there, and plentiful mining resources and a hospitable environment for colonization, ... oh, *wait.* We're starting to see the problem.

Should We Follow Official Sports Rules During Training Sessions?
Rules should be properly implemented on the field, but should we apply them off the field? Many professional and elite athletes say that they are able to perform better during training sessions, due to the flexibility given to them. Performance level can improve if athletes are able to do things that they want. It is clear that flexibility is able to give us more room for improvements. Wherever and whoever we are, people are controlled by rules, so we are able to maintain order and achieve the highest level of productivity. However, restrictive rules will affect our emotions and eventually our actions. Inflexibility in training sessions can cause conflicting values among athletes. They prefer to avoid conflicts with teammates or fellow athletes, but they are always trained to be competitive. They want to push themselves to the limit, but for top athletes, this could mean leaving their fellow athletes behind. Balancing between professional responsibility and social interactions between fellow athletes can be hard at times. In order to achieve an excellent performance as a team, it is important to take professional responsibility above any personal interest. It's that simple, so coaches and the management board should be clear about this.
Coaches should be proactive in asking the team about possible conflicts of interests. They need to balance the sense of comradeship and competition during training sessions. In fact, fellow athletes may find it more comfortable to compete with one another, because they can be honest about one another's performance level. With proper training strategies, many issues during training sessions can be resolved. Holding back to avoid conflict with fellow athletes is one thing that need to be immediately resolved. The top performance of the whole team can be stalled as a result.
Coaches need to ask athletes to focus on improved performance, stronger confidence and more focus. They need to confirm that differences and gap of performances between athletes are to be expected, because it is a normal thing in any game of sport. If coaches sense that athletes are holding themselves back, they should figure out why this could happen. It is likely that they are simply uncomfortable about specific issues. It is important that you are able to keep your head in the game and figure out how to deal with various obstacles. Coaches and the management may apply a more flexible training session rules to ensure that athletes are able to achieve top performance.
If athletes have low confidence and feel stuck, their overall abilities and focus during the competition can be significantly affected. If people proceed with their poor performance, they can be in a long-term slump. A highly flexible training strategy should be able to change all that. Athletes should be able to shift their focus on what's and what's not working. They will know what it takes to be a great athlete. Coaches and athletes should talk, so they know how to proper improve their performance, by properly strengthening their overall mental edges.

Online Brand Reputation Management
TaurusSocial© advises you on every aspect of your social media presence, what you should be doing, what works and what to steer clear of.
If you are in business, whether you realise it or not your brand is being discussed, reviewed and communicated online through social networks 24/7. It's better to be at the social media table than 'not invited at all' and we can show you how.
We have global real-world customer examples to reference – examples that had a real effect on business – from individuals to NFP's, B2B and B2C corporates and major ASX listed companies.
Who can we help?
- Forward thinking companies
- Board Directors and CEO's

- Entrepreneurs
- Celebrities

- Families and teens
- Anyone who uses social media!
- TaurusEngage™
- TaurusProfile™
- TaurusSafeOnline™
GiggedIn – Music
Client Services Outcome
The Taurus team was able to exceed Edwin's expectations diversifying his media reach to include publications outside the music press.
By the end of the 6-month PR project, GiggedIn had been featured in major consumer publications such as The Huffington Post and The Collective, tech/media publications such as Download This Show, start-up publications including Dynamic Business and mainline business publications such as The Daily Telegraph.
Ultimately, Taurus exposed GiggedIn to over 22 million people through a strategic PR push. Edwin had no hesitation in continuing with Taurus as his preferred PR agency and renewing his contract with the knowledge that the Taurus team would strive to smash his expectations out of the park.
TaurusEngage™ – social media intelligence and engagement
We cut through the hype and jargon and show you how to define an appropriate strategy and utilise social media tools to fulfil your business objectives. TaurusEngage™ helps you put a strategy and tactical plan around your social media monitoring, reputation management and engagement.
"Posting on social media sites is like a tattoo, it has far reaching consequences." Sharon Williams, Founder & CEO, Taurus
TaurusProfile™ – personal brand and brand risk management online
As a leader, whether you realise it or not your personal brand is being discussed, reviewed and communicated online through social networks which means in this new decade, taking responsibility for your social media presence is a 'must do' rather than a 'nice to have'.
Social media enables your staff, prospects, customers, influencers and competitors to drive comment and access information about your brand anywhere, anytime, anyplace. So, as a leader, taking responsibility for your social media presence is vital to the overall image of your personal brand, your staff and your company. We believe it is better to be 'at the table' than 'not invited at all'!
We are so serious about this, we have pioneered TaurusSafeOnline© which is our purpose built employee social media policy.

I'm 41, had a TR in 2017 after having a tubal ligation in 2010. I was advised by doctors to have a TL after my third C section and I regret it terribly. Had a miscarriage last January so I know pregnancy is possible but a big risk. I can't find many TR success stories. If anybody out there has any, or heard of any, it would help me to stay strong and positive in a situation that feels so hopeless at times.
Thank you!

Over and above, in every way!!
We both love live music, and after booking our venue, we knew having a band for our reception would be a perfect fit! From the beginning, communication to coordinate everything with Steph was easy and pleasant, and any requests I/we had were easily accommodated, and helped make our day even more special! The band learned a new song for our first dance (and nailed it!!), and all night, our guests were coming up to us, (and them), to say how amazing they were -- from the music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and their DJ sets, everything was PERFECT!!Sent on 11/09/2018
I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone, they went over and above in every way! In fact, the moment I arrived to the venue, I was told how they stepped in to help setup when we had to use the indoor backup because of rain! Truly amazing, talented and genuine people, who I'm thankful were part of our special day!! THANK YOU AGAIN for everything!!

perfect tunes, great playing
We were lucky enough to get Mike for a solo show at our wedding, and he was great - watching for all the cues during the ceremony, knowing when to be unobtrusive and knowing when to swing up the volume and move people. Steph the manager was great too, super prompt and cheerful.Sent on 04/08/2018

I assume you refer to the jai_imageio.jar file. FOP does not depend on a particular version. If the jar is available FOP may use it for some particular formats. If it is not available, then FOP falls back to the default image handler, if there is one, which may work or not (i.e., may work for some image subtypes but not others). If you provide your image maybe we can investigate what the problem is.

In its most basic form, marketing automation is a set of tools designed to streamline and simplify some of the most time-consuming responsibilities of the modern marketing and sales roles. From automating the lead qualification process to creating a hub for digital campaign creation, automation is all about simplifying a business world that is growing far too complex, much too quickly.
A software that allows businesses of all sizes to optimize their efficiency and customer relationships. For small businesses with limited employees, it allows them to run multiple campaigns successfully and manage their time efficiently. It also makes it easier and more organized for larger organizations to connect with each of their customers in a highly personalized way.
Infusionsoft is the only drag-and-drop tool we tested, which is a nifty feature for marketers who may wish to work on touchscreens or don't have time to deal with lengthy drop-down menus. It also provides unique tag removal that automatically pulls contacts from campaigns if they perform a certain action. For example, if contacts don't open three emails in a row, then you can set the tool to remove all such contacts from the workflow. This way, you're not sending messages into a vacuum. The tool also gives you the most useful real-time alert dashboard of any that we tested in this class. It lets you see every contact interaction with anyone in your database. So, if you sent an email to someone a week ago but they just opened it this second, then you'll see their name pop up at the top of your dashboard. From this tab, you can send a follow-up email or adjust the contact's standing within the specific workflow.
Large enterprises have long found value in the technology, but marketing automation isn't just for big companies. In fact, Small and Mid-Sized Businesses (SMBs) make up the largest growing segment in the space right now. And thousands of companies even smaller than that are using automation as well. Similarly, companies across all industries are using it. The early adopters were primarily in "business-to-business" (B2B) industries such as high-tech / software, manufacturing, and business services. But increasingly companies across all categories–including "business-to-consumer" (B2C) industries such as healthcare, financial services, media and entertainment, and retail–are adopting the software for its real-time, engagement-oriented approach to maintaining and extending customer relationships throughout the customer lifecycle.

Banded Together: Economic Democratization in the Brass Valley
Paperback(1st Edition)
Temporarily Out of Stock Online
Providing incisive commentary on the historical and contemporary American working class experience, Banded Together: Economic Democratization in the Brass Valley documents a community's efforts to rebuild and revitalize itself in the aftermath of deindustrialization. Through powerful oral histories and other primary sources, Jeremy Brecher tells the story of a group of average Americans--factory workers, housewives, parishioners, and organizers--who tried to create a democratic alternative to the economic powerlessness caused by the closing of factories in the Connecticut Naugatuck Valley region during the 1970s and 1980s. This volume focuses on grassroots organization, democratically controlled enterprises, and supportive public policies, providing examples from the Naugatuck Valley Project community-alliance that remain relevant to the economic problems of today and tomorrow. Drawing on more than a hundred interviews with Project leaders, staff, and other knowledgeable members of the local community, Brecher illustrates how the Naugatuck Valley Project served as a vehicle for community members to establish greater control over their economic lives.

IntroductionThis book tells the story of a group of factory workers, housewives, parishioners, and organizers who tried to create an alternative to the economic powerlessness manifested in the closing of Seth Thomas and dozens of other factories in the Naugatuck Valley region. They sought ways to establish greater democratic control over the economic forces, institutions, and decisions that were devastating their communities, livelihoods, and ways of life. Starting in the early 1980s, they created a community alliance called the Naugatuck Valley Project to serve as a vehicle for their efforts; organized workers in dozens of companies to respond to the threat of plant closings; helped workers buy and run a failing brass mill; started an employee-owned home–health care company; organized tenants to create permanently affordable, democratically run cooperative housing; and addressed the education, transportation, health, and other crises that accompanied the devastation of the local economy. This book draws lessons from their efforts for those who experience the effects of economic powerlessness and want to band together to establish more democratic control over their economic lives.
Shortly before the demise of Seth Thomas, I was engaged in a community-based oral history project on the lives of working people of the Naugatuck Valley called the Brass Workers History Project. Old-timers had told me and my collaborators of their arduous, dangerous, insecure, and oppressive work, but also of their pride in their own labor and in the communities it sustained. They described how they and their parents had built dense community networks and institutions and had used them to gain a degree of power over their conditions of life through unions, community action, and the political process.
As we were recording the experiences of the Naugatuck Valley's workers, the industrial economy that had sustained their way of life was collapsing around us. The unions and community institutions through which they had exercised some degree of collective power were being decimated. It was the start of the era of "Reaganomics," and most government leaders, far from trying to remedy the collapse, argued that government should stand back and let private business and the market provide the answer.
When my collaborators and I looked for someone to provide a positive vision of the future for the tens of thousands who had toiled in the region's factories, we found little more than advice to accept the inevitable, embrace the deterioration of wages and conditions, and hope that cheap labor might lure some new businesses into the region's decaying plants. I felt in my heart that we were writing an epitaph for the traditions of community building, mutuality, and labor solidarity we had found in the valley and that those traditions would have no inheritors.
But something I was not expecting arose almost as if from the ashes of the clock cremated by the Seth Thomas workers. A number of churches, unions, and community organizations decided they had to find a more positive way to address the economic problems of their members in the Naugatuck Valley. With guidance from an experienced organizer, they set up the Naugatuck Valley Project with the stated goal of helping workers and communities gain more control over the economic decisions that were affecting them. Because it identified economic problems as problems of power and control, the NVP promoted local, democratic ownership through such vehicles as employee-owned companies, cooperative housing, and a community land trust. Its strategy was to take the techniques of community organizations and citizen action groups and project them into the economic sphere. According to organizer Ken Galdston, "The idea of the project is that if you bring together the diverse groups in the community that are hit by these decisions made far away, and if you teach them how to organize, how to focus on an issue, how to bring their full pressure to bear, you can get those other people to sit down with you and start making decisions that you want."
It made a difference. Less than a year after Seth Thomas closed, for instance, a local union leader at another Talley subsidiary attended an NVP briefing on the "early warning signs" of a plant closing. When he said those signs were already appearing in his shop, the NVP immediately pulled together a local coalition of union and church people. Confronted by a story in the newspaper and a call from a local minister, the president of the subsidiary agreed to meet with the NVP. Eventually, he agreed to an NVP proposal that Talley give preference in any sale to buyers who would keep the jobs in the area; some, though not all, of the purchasers did so.
Where workers and residents had previously stood by, helpless to affect the forces that were eliminating their jobs and devastating their communities, now they had become players. They made the heads of corporations sit down and bargain with them. They influenced corporate policy—no doubt in a limited way, but enough to mean that the story did not always have to end with a funeral.
The NVP's goal was not just to save one or another set of jobs, but rather to build an organization that could help valley communities enhance their economic conditions on a continuing basis. It set out, therefore, to train leaders rooted in the congregations, unions, and community organizations of the valley who could mobilize these institutions to jointly address problems in the face of which they separately were powerless. The NVP became a vital force in the Naugatuck Valley, with sixty-five member organizations, chapters in six towns, hundreds of active supporters, and meetings almost daily in one or another part of the valley.
As this book was being completed in 2009, the NVP was celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. Its accomplishments over that quarter century have been substantial. It has trained hundreds of leaders and organized hundreds of campaigns around jobs, housing, health care, education, environment, industrial brownfield redevelopment, job training, neighborhood blight, community services, youth leadership training, and many other issues that affect the lives of ordinary people in the Naugatuck Valley. It has drawn participation from up and down the Naugatuck Valley; from the cities and the suburbs; from congregations, unions, small business organizations, and community groups; and from diverse ethnic, racial, and religious subcultures. It has been widely recognized as a national leader in efforts to train and empower community residents to address economic and social problems through their own action.
I was aware of the NVP from its inception, and as the self-appointed chronicler of Naugatuck Valley social movements, I began tracking and documenting its activities, attending meetings and conventions, and periodically interviewing staff and leaders. My relationship to the project was essentially that of a historian who could be drawn on for background about the valley and a sympathetic journalist reporting on some of its more noteworthy efforts.
As a historian, I found this an extraordinary opportunity to observe the emergence of a new kind of social enterprise—right in the middle of a social world I had spent the preceding years studying. It promised to illuminate the vexed historical problem of how new movements arise and their relation to what preceded them. It also whetted my growing interest in globalization, contemporary community-labor coalitions, and network-based forms of organization.
The NVP was not necessarily the kind of organization I would have envisioned as a solution to the problems of working people in the Naugatuck Valley. Nonetheless, I have utmost respect for what the NVP accomplished, and I believe its experience illuminates not just one policy or strategy but the entire problem of economic empowerment. I share the NVP's commitment to a more democratic way of organizing economic life, and I willingly appear as an advocate for the proposition that ordinary people need to organize themselves to challenge decisions that profoundly affect them but over which they have little power. I consider the NVP as a series of experiments in trying to do just that. Whether successful or unsuccessful, these experiments provide insight into the process of economic democratization.

There are just 100 days to go until Māori Language Week 2019, 9-15 September. The week celebrates the Māori language and its revitalisation.
Māori Language Commission Chief Executive Ngahiwi Apanui says it's a chance for everyone to do something to support our own indigenous language and enjoy what it can add to our lives in Aotearoa.
"The theme for 2019 is being maintained as 'Kia Kaha te Reo Māori'. 'Kia Kaha' is well known by both Māori and English speakers and came into popular, New Zealand wide, use in the 19th century as part of the sports chant 'Kia Kaha, Ake, Ake, Ake!'
"It also points to the fact that there are many things that strengthen te reo Māori – not just learning and using the language.
"As well, there's a need to promote its status through things such as bilingual signage, and to build critical awareness of the revitalisation of the language and the importance of businesses and organisations taking part.
"In your workplace, organisation, school or community group – celebrate te reo Māori. As we say 'Ahakoa iti, akona, kōrerotia. Learn a little. Use a little!
