We're posting transcripts of Amicus, our legal affairs podcast, exclusively for Slate Plus members. What follows is the transcript for Episode 36, in which Slate's Dahlia Lithwick discusses the great effect this presidential election will likely have on the composition of the Supreme Court. Any changes to the SCOTUS justice lineup are sure to carry consequences for the lives of everyday Americans, and multiple new appointments now seem especially likely in the next two presidential terms. Why then have the candidates been so quiet on the issue of who they will endorse?
On this episode, we are joined by founding dean and distinguished professor of law at the University of California, Irvine, School of Law Erwin Chemerinsky. This episode is the first of a two-part Amicus series on how the 2016 elections could reshape the Supreme Court.

This is a lightly edited transcript and may differ slightly from the edited podcast. This podcast was recorded before Justice Antonin Scalia died on Feb. 13, 2016.
Dahlia Lithwick: Hi, and welcome to Amicus, Slate's Supreme Court podcast. I'm Dahlia Lithwick. I cover the courts for Slate. This week as the court is on its long winter break, we thought we'd turn to another kind of current events, and as some of you have pointed out in your letters, there is, in fact, a presidential election upon us.
The Iowa caucuses are just behind us and, as you probably know, one of the lasting legacies of most presidencies will be the impact that that presidency has on the Supreme Court. And, so, this week we thought we'd turn to the topic of the Supreme Court and the 2016 election.
It's the first installment in a two-part series we're going to be doing this campaign season about how the election might shape the Court in the future. This week, to look at that question from the political left, we have as our guest one of my favorite court watchers, Erwin Chemerinsky, current and founding dean of UC Irvine's School of Law.
Irwin is one of the most cited and most prolific law professors in the country. He's published over 200 law review articles, and he's argued several important cases at the high court, and is one of the few people I know who speaks in flawless outline form.
So, Erwin, welcome to Amicus. It is a delight to have you here.
Erwin Chemerinsky: Oh, it's my great pleasure, and thank you so much for the sweet introduction.
Lithwick: So, Erwin, let's first of all just put some facts on the table and then you react. We have three justices—Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy—who will be 80 or over by Election Day.
Stephen Breyer will be 78. And the average retirement age for a justice is, I'm told, about 77. So, this is a really significantly aged court; right? This is a big, big election.
Chemerinsky: Your statistics are right. Let me just modify them a bit. Since 1960, the average retirement age for Supreme Court justices has been 79 years old. In 2017, the year of the inauguration of the next president, four of those justices then will be 79 or older because that's the year Justice Breyer turns 79 and, of course, by then both Justices Scalia and Kennedy will have crossed their 80th birthday, and Justice Ginsburg is about to turn 83 this spring.
Lithwick: So, this discussion—you know, I find when I read on the left or on the right, "oh, my God, it's the most consequential election for the Supreme Court," it's kind of confounded, Erwin, by the fact that it depends, of course, on who retires. In other words, if Ruth Bader Ginsburg were to step down but Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton is president, does it make that much of a difference, or really are we only talking about if a conservative steps down and a Democrat wins or vice versa or the, you know, nuclear option, which is Justice Kennedy stepping down and everyone going bananas?
Chemerinsky: Imagine that it's a two-term president. In recent memory, most presidents have been two-term presidents. Then it seems almost a certainty that there will be four vacancies between now and Jan. 20, 2025.
And then whether it's a Republican or Democrat, they're going to get to shape the court for years to come. If it's a Republican president replacing Ginsburg and Breyer along with Scalia and Kennedy, we can imagine what that will mean, but a Democratic president who gets to replace Scalia and Kennedy along with Ginsburg and Breyer, you think about what that means.
I think the election that's most analogous would be 1968 where soon after being elected, Richard Nixon got to fill four vacancies on the Supreme Court. Imagine if Hubert Humphrey had won that election how different things would be.
Or even the 2000 and 2004 elections. Imagine that Al Gore or John Kerry had replaced William Rehnquist and Sandra Day O'Connor rather than it being George W. Bush with John Roberts and Samuel Alito. We can identify so many cases that affect us all that would have come out differently.
Lithwick: Well, I actually would like you to speak to that directly because I think for a lot of our listeners, there's, you know, some vague inchoate sense that it made a big difference to swap out Sandra Day O'Connor, put in Sam Alito, but can you tell us doctrinally just for listeners who maybe aren't following the tick tock of what's happened since Sam Alito came onto the court ten years ago, of how doctrine really changes when just one member of the court changes?
Chemerinsky: Of course. Pick a few examples. Start with Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In 2003 in a case called McConnell v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court upheld the provisions, the McCain-Feingold, the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act.
Just seven years later in Citizens United, the Supreme Court expressly overrules that decision, the court declares unconstitutional the versions of McCain-Feingold that limit corporations and unions can spend in independent expenditures.
Why did the court change seven years later? Did they find some musty history of the First Amendment that led them to believe they made a mistake? Of course not. The only difference in the court was Samuel Alito replacing Sandra Day O'Connor.
Or we can pick another example in the area of abortion. In 2000 in a case called Stenberg v. Carhart, the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a Nebraska law prohibiting the procedure that's called by anti-abortion groups partial-birth abortion.
Seven years later, 5 to 4, the Supreme Court upholds the Federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. It's not that the laws were different; again, it was entirely a matter of Samuel Alito replacing Sandra Day O'Connor. Or to pick an example that's before the court this term: affirmative action.
In 2003 in Grutter v. Bollinger, the court, 5 to 4, says that colleges, universities have a compelling interest to have a diverse student body; college, universities can use race as one factor in admissions if it's to benefit minorities.
Justice O'Connor writes the opinion for the court, but Samuel Alito strongly opposes all forms of affirmative action and is certainly a fifth vote to limit Grutter v. Bollinger and maybe to overrule it. And I could go on and on with examples. But when you think of things like this—campaign finance, abortion, affirmative action—you see how much one justice can affect all of us, often the most important, the most intimate aspects of our lives.
Lithwick: So, this leads me to the question that I've been puzzling with, and I'm not sure what the answer is, and maybe there's no answer, Erwin, but all of the cases, with the exception of campaign finance, all of the issues you've mentioned somehow are before the court in the 2015 term, plus not just affirmative action and abortion and the contraception mandate in Obamacare—oh, and by the way, Obama's immigration reforms—how is it possible that the court, in an election year, takes on every single hot-button issue that is guaranteed to make people, even people who are on screensave about the court for the entirety of their lives have to be thinking about court this summer when they're thinking about the elections, why is the court wandering into this minefield right before a presidential election?
Chemerinsky: In terms of why this year? It seems that every term there's blockbuster cases right now. Last year we had the marriage equality case, the year before there was the Hobby Lobby case about the contraceptive mandate, the year before that it was Shelby County where the court struck down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act, the year before that it was the case about the Affordable Care Act.
So, I don't think this term is extraordinary in having blockbuster cases, and it's not surprising that the court was going to take up these issues—affirmative action, abortion, immigration—when they came before the justices. These are issues that have split the lower courts, they're issues of great national importance, and this is a court that really wants to have the last word on issues of great national importance.
I think it's a good thing that the court has these high-profile cases this term if it means that people will be thinking about the court this summer and fall because I truly believe there is no more important issue for the November 2016 presidential election than who's going to fill those likely four vacancies on the Supreme Court.
Lithwick: Right. This leads me to my next question, which is: Americans don't really focus on the courts as a voting issue. And maybe the best evidence right now, Erwin, is that we keep having presidential debates in which we don't talk about the court, and to the extent that we talk about the court, it's in, you know, very, very coded language that we'll get to in a minute.
But why is it that the court—I mean, I think you and I would stipulate right here right now the composition of the Supreme Court, whether you're a conservative or a liberal, has got to be the most important thing on your mind, and yet, it's not. And as you said, the last time it really was, was maybe the 1968 election when Richard Nixon ran against the Warren Court.
That's really the last time we've had an election in which people put the court at the very forefront of their thoughts when they were voting, right?
Chemerinsky: Certainly. Richard Nixon ran against the Warren Court and made it an issue, and yet, you think of other presidential elections that were so pivotal with regard to the court—like 2000 and 2004—and it was barely discussed.
And it tends to get discussed more by Republicans than it does by Democrats. I think you ask a great question: Why isn't the composition of the court a more salient issue? And I don't think there's a simple answer to it. Part of it is that I think that people still have this belief that law exists apart from the justices and, so, they don't fully appreciate how much the identity of the justices makes all the difference.
The cases that come to the Supreme Court are ones that could come out either way—often involve balancing of competing interests. How that's done is so much a function of the justices who are there, their life experience, and their values, but I don't think that people realize that.
I also worry that people don't realize how much what the court does really does affect them. I think of the right to abortion, I think of affirmative action, I think with regard to campaign finance in the long term, how much it affects all of us, but people often aren't focused on that or maybe they don't realize that.
Lithwick: And yet, you pointed this out, and it's worth reinforcing this—certainly I think the Republican Party, the Republican nominees are more vocal about this. You know, famously, Supreme Court litigator Michael Carvin said at a Federalidt Society event last year that, quote, if the election goes wrong, we will all descend into a hellish existence from which we will never emerge, end quote.
This is what the Washington Times reported at the time. So, it does seem as though the American right is at least more organized and more thoughtful on this issue than the American left; is that fair?
Chemerinsky: I think so.
I think that the Republican base has just cared much more about the composition of the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts than the Democratic base, and I think that's translated into something that really does affect all of us in almost on a daily basis, and that's that the Republicans have tended to appoint much more conservative individuals to the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts than Democratic presidents appointed liberals to the Supreme Court and to the lower federal courts; that if I was to do an ideological lineup of, say, federal appeals court judges, overall the Republican appointees are much more conservative than the Democratic appointees are liberal, and I think that's because the Republican base cares more about it than the Democratic base cares about it.
Lithwick: So, this, of course, leads me to the nuts and bolts of John Roberts. Why? Why has John Roberts become the whipping boy for the GOP nominees? We can play for you Ted Cruz, we can play for you Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has tweeted that John Roberts is a liberal, and Ted Cruz has made it his personal business to go after John Roberts as being a wussy, you know, weak-kneed, nonthoughtful conservative.
Why is John Roberts getting all the heat here?
Chemerinsky: It's absurd to the extent that they say that they have to assume no one's paying any attention to the Supreme Court. This is John Roberts' 11th term. John Roberts votes in the conservative direction 95, 98 percent of the time.
Think again of the issues that conservatives care most about—abortion. He's with the conservatives in upholding the Federal Partial-Birth Abortion Act. Affirmative action—no one has written a stronger opinion in recent years against affirmative action than John Roberts and Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1. In 2007 we said the Constitution requires color blindness, and the government has to stop all discrimination based on race, and he sees affirmative action as discrimination based on race.
Guns: District of Columbia v. Heller, the most gun rights–protective decision in American history is with John Roberts in the majority. Campaign finance, Citizens United and the cases like that. There's only one area where John Roberts has disappointed the conservatives, and that is he upheld the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act, and this past term uphold tax credits for those who purchased insurance on federally created exchanges.
But based on that one example out of so many, the conservatives have turned against John Roberts. It's absurd what they're saying. Why are they saying it? My guess is because Republicans like to run against the Supreme Court, that they like to accuse the Supreme Court of judicial activism and, so, they've turned on John Roberts in this way based on the Affordable Care Act.
But instead, I think anybody who watches the court knows that John Roberts has been overwhelmingly conservative. And just to mention one more example, marriage equality. John Roberts writes a powerful dissent last spring and a couple years earlier in the marriage-equality cases, yet the conservatives want to forget that.
Lithwick: So, I want to talk just for one more minute about the Affordable Care Act cases because that's clearly the coding—I agree with you. Let's listen: This is Donald Trump just last week on ABC News, and let's play the quote and talk about it.
Donald Trump: Justice Roberts turned out to be an absolute disaster.
He turned out to be an absolute disaster because he gave us Obamacare.
Lithwick: Erwin, I guess I want to ask: What does the ACA signal? Why is Obamacare singled out as the issue on which because Roberts defected on this, he's basically Brennan?
Chemerinsky: Well, there's no doubt that the Affordable Care Act has been the most politically divisive federal law adopted probably since the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It's perhaps the most important social program created by the federal government since the war on poverty and maybe even since social security in the New Deal.
Every Republican in Congress voted against it, almost every Republican lower federal court judge voted to strike it down and, so, it is used, I think, by Republicans as a litmus test, and they use it to evaluate John Roberts.
But again, it's taking it so much out of the context of the rest of John Roberts' record as chief justice. Even John Roberts' career as a lower court judge, a lawyer, and going all the way back to when he was a law clerk for William Rehnquist.
Lithwick: So, let me posit this and you react and tell me why I'm wrong, but one of the things that Ted Cruz has been doing in his attacks on John Roberts is suggesting that the problem is that Republicans defect—they don't stay true to the cause.
Here's Ted Cruz saying the Republicans have an abysmal record. We bat about .500. Half the nominees Republicans have put on the court have not just occasionally disappointed but have turned into disasters. So, is there something about control going on here where there's a feeling that if you're not in lockstep with the GOP and Republican values, then you're a disaster and you've defected? Whereas there's somehow an expectation on the American left and certainly among the leadership on the American left that justices are going to justice.
They're just going to kind of free range out there and sometimes Justice Breyer disappoints and Elena Kagan disappoints, but we don't have that litmus test where we say, if you just one time get out of line, we get to code you as a disaster. What going on there do you think?
Chemerinsky: I think that's right, but I think we have to also remember that this is political rhetoric, and Ted Cruz or Donald Trump are saying what they think will appeal to the conservative base who votes in Republicans caucuses and Republican primaries. Running against the court is something that is useful.
Now, I think empirically, Ted Cruz is wrong, but I think that most Republican nominees—like most Democratic nominees—have voted as one would predict. And, so, on the current court, certainly Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito are everything that the Republicans could have hoped for.
Now on the other hand, Justice Souter wasn't what the Republicans hoped for, Justice Kennedy has been more of a disappointment to Republicans, obviously, than, say, Scalia, Thomas, Alito, or even Roberts, but we could do the same thing with regard to the Democratic appointees.
Byron White was President Kennedy's appointee, but he was one of the more conservative Justices on the court in his era. Got to remember, he was one of the two dissenters in Roe v. Wade, one of the dissenters in Miranda v. Arizona. So, most justices are what the political party that appoints them want, but there will always be justices who are not quite ideologically as pure as the base wants.
That's, I think, why you hear Ted Cruz, Donald Trump saying the things that they're saying.
Lithwick: So, now I want to ask you the analogous question on the left, which is, in effect, why Citizens United? It seems that Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders have been certainly less voluble about their loathing of the court, but boy, get them wound up about Citizens United, and they can talk all day.
And Bernie Sanders recently made some news by tweeting, "Any Supreme Court nominee of mine will make overturning Citizens United one of their first decisions," which he got shellacked for because you don't get to just overturn things the day you're appointed.
But help us understand, if you would, what Citizens United signifies on the left that's akin to the outrage directed at the Affordable Care Act on the right.
Chemerinsky: Citizens United is the case that means that corporations can spend as much money as they want under the corporate treasury to get people elected or defeated.
The fact that corporations can do this is something that outrages the left, but there's also something else going on here. I think Citizens United is a case that's unpopular more across the political spectrum than many Supreme Court cases are.
I've written a lot of op-eds. I don't think I've ever written an op-ed that got as much response that was favorable as when I wrote the day after Citizens United criticizing the case. Usually, as you know, op-eds draw negative emails at a ratio about 10 or 100 to 1.
Almost every email I got after I wrote about Citizens United was tremendously critical of the decision, including from many who identified themselves as conservatives. So, I think what Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton are doing is picking an example that certainly appeals to their base but may also have a much broader appeal to voters in saying the Supreme Court just got it wrong here.
Lithwick: I'm going to take you away from the election for one brief second because I feel that we need to mark on this show that when the court returns from the winter break at the end of February, it is going to stumble upon, as Adam Liptak points out this week in the New York Times, an anniversary which is that it will have been 10 years since Clarence Thomas asked a question at oral argument, and I wonder if you want to reflect on what it means that one of our nine justices literally hasn't spoken at an oral argument in 10 years.
Chemerinsky: I would say this whether it was a conservative or a liberal justice. I think it shows tremendous disrespect for the process to never ask a question during oral argument. I understand that some justices are going to be more vocal and some are going to be more quiet.
I find the same thing in teaching law school classes—some students are more vocal, some more quiet. But the idea that a justice on the Supreme Court would go 10 years without ever participating in oral argument is something that we should be outraged about. Oral argument is the opportunity for the lawyers to get the answer to questions that are of concern to the justices.
As you've mentioned, I've argued several times in the Supreme Court, I've argued dozens of times in lower courts of appeals, I want the judges, the justices to ask me the questions that have greater concern. Can it really be that in 10 years—and that's probably over 800 oral arguments—not once there's been a question that Clarence Thomas has needed an answer to?
That's inconceivable. And, so, that's why I say whether it be a liberal or a conservative, I think it shows disrespect for the process to never, ever ask a question.
Lithwick: Erwin, my last question, I want to give you a moment to talk about your book a little bit.
The Case Against the Supreme Court came out last year. It was really a tremendous, one of the most important books I read last year, and it's, in effect, a kind of paradoxical book insofar as deeply, deeply critical about the Supreme Court; not just the current Roberts Court, which you've criticized in other places, but deeply critical about the Supreme Court as an institution over centuries, more or less saying, you know, for the most part the court has always—unerringly almost—sided with the wealthy and the privileged and the powerful, and that even if at its high-water marks of what it was doing to support the poor and the underprivileged and the people who are disenfranchised, you know, at the apex of the Warren Court, for instance, it still did so much less than it should have.
So, help us to understand as listeners who maybe aren't familiar with your work how it's possible that you, who have devoted your lifetime and more than 200 law review articles to engaging with this institution, can feel so disappointed in it and how it is that you can argue at the same time that the court matters so much in this upcoming election, even though it is so deeply flawed?
Chemerinsky: You're so kind to ask about it. I realized as I've been teaching and writing about the Supreme Court, I've often been making excuses for it. And then when I look at the court over the course of American history, it's so often failed, often at the most important tasks, often the most important times.
When we look at the Supreme Court and race over the course of American history, when we look at the Supreme Court in times of crisis over the course of American history, when we look at the Supreme Court in so many areas where the Supreme Court didn't do what it was supposed to do.
And, so, I deeply care about the Supreme Court, but I think it can do better in the future, and I think the only way that we can hope for that is to point to its failures and offer suggestions for its improvement. I think it was Winston Churchill who said that democracy is a terrible form of government, but it's so much better than whatever else there is.
I think judicial reviews often fail, but I can't imagine not having judicial review. When I think of the kind of people who I represented—people on death row, a Guantánamo detainee, a homeless man, and I can go on—for them it's really the courts or nothing, I would just like to see the Courts do a much better job of upholding the Constitution.

It was like getting cut from the middle school basketball team all over again.
No explanation. No drama.
Just the person in charge saying, "If I don't call your number, you're finished here and you can leave."
My number wasn't called.
Such was the end of my civic duty last week after a few hours as a prospective juror in Canton Municipal Court. While some people seem to try everything to get released from jury duty, I want to be seated but can't get all the way through the selection process. I'm now oh-for-three.
The case involved a young man accused of misdemeanor theft. Checking public records online the next day, I learned he was found guilty and was issued a sentence that included jail time (most of it suspended pending good behavior over two years' probation) along with a referral to TASC (Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities), a nonprofit agency in Stark County that helps people struggling with drug and/or alcohol addiction. Hearing that addiction played some role in the theft comes as little surprise.
During the jury selection process, the prosecutor for the case asked several questions about drug abuse and the heroin/opiate epidemic spreading across this state. By show of hands, she said, who among us knew a friend or relative struggling with a drug addiction. Nearly half of the prospective jurors raised a hand.
Even for someone who has read articles almost daily and attended seminars in the community about the opiate problem, it's still stunning to see half of any group, especially one chosen randomly from across central Stark County, respond to that question in the affirmative. And that leaves open the possibility there were others reluctant to say so.
Over the next few minutes, a handful bravely shared their circumstances: a sister who had died by heroin overdose, a brother addicted to the drug, an in-law hooked on opiate painkillers.
Everyone is asking: What can be done?
Early last week, a conversation in The Repository's newsroom about heroin included an utterance that, to our knowledge, at least no juvenile in Stark County had died by overdose. The same was believed to be true about Summit County. "Yes," a reporter said, "but it's only a matter of time."
That time came barely a day later.
News broke late Wednesday evening that a 16-year-old boy had been found dead in a Green motel room. A heroin overdose is suspected, possibly involving fentanyl as well.
On Friday, his mother — only 31 years old herself — was charged with involuntary manslaughter, endangering children and tampering with evidence. His grandmother and another woman also face charges.
"Our task force is seeing a growing number of heroin-related deaths, and, in turn, warrants being issued to our team to find those responsible for these deaths. This is a sad story, where a 16-year-old has lost his life, but justice must be served for those that played a role in the young man's death," U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott, of the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, said in announcing the fugitive mother's arrest in Stow.
At a news conference Friday, law enforcement officials said they are seeing more multi-generational drug abuse in families. When mom or dad is abusing, what chance does a kid really have to escape addiction's grip?
The next time I'm summoned for jury duty, it's a safe bet the case will involve drugs in some manner. It's also the sad reality that far more than half the people in the jury pool will raise their hands when asked if they've been affected.
We all are affected.

Hackers have stolen Bitcoin (BTC) worth over $40 million from the world's largest digital currency exchange, Binance.
The hack
Binance disclosed the incident yesterday, hours after its chief executive officer Changpeng Zhao tweeted that the exchange was undertaking "some unscheduled server maintenance". In a blog post on the company's website, Zhao said that the hackers were able to withdraw 7,000 BTC in one transaction and provided further details about the incident.
Then follow us on Google News!
"Hackers were able to obtain a large number of user API keys, 2FA codes, and potentially other info. The hackers used a variety of techniques, including phishing, viruses and other attacks. We are still concluding all possible methods used," Zhao said, adding that the exchange might not have identified all affected accounts.
The hackers executed "well-orchestrated actions through multiple seemingly independent accounts" which allowed them to pass the platforms existing security checks. "It was unfortunate that we were not able to block this withdrawal before it was executed. Once executed, the withdrawal triggered various alarms in our system. We stopped all withdrawals immediately after that."
Binance will use its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), which is stored in a cold wallet, to cover the losses. It also plans to conduct a thorough security review, which, it estimates, will take about one week.
Market reaction
Unsurprisingly, the market reacted negatively to the news. Bitcoin, which was on the verge of breaking above the $6,000 barrier yesterday, fell to as low as $5,795.01 in the opening hours of today's trading, according to data from digital currency tracker Coinmarketcap. The digital coin has since managed to bounce back and is currently trading at around $5,900. Binance's proprietary crypto token, the Binance Coin (BNB), has been the biggest loser in the crypto top 10, with its price falling to a near three-week low of $19.89 earlier today. At the time of writing, the BNB price stood at $20.82, marking a 6.4% loss for the coin over the most recent 24-hour period.

A POPULAR music festival boasting a line-up of covers bands, talented ska stalwarts and blues artists will continue to entertain the masses this weekend after getting under way yesterday.
Bures Music Festival, an annual five-day extravaganza which is now in its 23rd year, started on Wednesday at St Mary's Church with a chorus of harmonising voices in the form of Funky Voices – a choir performing renditions of modern hits.
The historic church was also due to be the setting for an evening of wonderful jazz last night, while a talent competition featuring local artists, dancers and bands showcasing their abilities to a large crowd and judges took place in the marquee on the village recreation ground.

Usually I plant peas on St. Patrick's Day, but this year, my garden was still covered in snow. After a late start, the peas are just starting to poke through.
|Pea and pea seedling, side by side in the garden
It's a great time to plant cold-tolerant seeds like peas, spinach, lettuce and beets. If you haven't planted yet this spring, how about going outside and planting right now?
I didn't buy any new seed this year. For peas, I had enough Cascadia snap pea seeds leftover from the bag I bought last year. So far, germination seems good. In a few more days, I may plant more peas – filling in any spots where germination was poor.
I also have a bunch of "volunteers" coming up in the garden. The ones in the photo below are probably Red Russian kale, from plants that went to seed in the garden last year. I'll know for sure when they get a little bigger and their true first leaves emerge. Letting seeds plant themselves is an easy way to garden! The young seedlings can be eaten in salads as a way to thin them out.
|Volunteers coming up in the garden
For tomatoes and other plants that need hot weather, starting the seeds indoors gives them a long enough growing season so that they have time to bear fruit before the fall frost.
Last year I started some heirloom Brandywine tomatoes from seed. By Mother's Day, the plants were ready to be transplanted outdoors. I gave some of the plants to my mom, and she transplanted them into her garden and later saved the seeds from one of the tomatoes she harvested. After the seeds had dried on a paper towel, she gave me the seeds back, still stuck to the paper towel.
|Seed saving: heirloom tomatoes
About the same time that I planted the peas outdoors, I planted tomatoes indoors under a grow light. I used the Brandywine tomato seeds that my mom had saved from last year's harvest. I ended up planting a piece of the paper towel with several seeds stuck to it in each cup - hence the multiple seedlings per cup. Usually I don't plant so many seeds per cup, but I wasn't sure what the germination rate of these seeds would be.
Brandywine tomato seedlings planted from
seedthat was saved from last year's tomatoes.
I am hoping that in another month on Mother's Day, the Brandywine tomato plants will be ready to give my mom as a gift again this year! Collecting and saving seed is easier than many people think. When you start harvesting from your garden this summer, why not save some seed for next year?
Please share what's happening in your vegetable gardens. Have you planted outdoors yet? Indoors? Did you save any seed from last year? Do you have any volunteers coming up?
Happy Earth Day!

Countering Forced Localization Measures for ICT Products is Aim of ITA Strategy
The International Trade Administration is seeking information by May 14 on trade-related forced localization policies, practices, and measures that affect the U.S. information and communications technology hardware manufacturing industry. Comments will be used to support the development of a holistic strategic plan for counteracting and deterring the expansion of such barriers.
The ITA states that over the past five years there has been a rapid expansion of laws, regulations, trade policies, directives, and practices by various U.S. trading partners designed to force the production and development of ICT hardware to be localized within a country's territorial boundaries while also cultivating and incubating select domestic industries, technologies, or intellectual property at the expense of imported goods or foreign-owned or -developed IP. These measures include local content requirements for ICT products sold in the domestic market; subsidies or other government preferences made contingent on the use of local ICT products, indigenous technology, or domestically owned IP; mandates for service providers to purchase domestically-manufactured ICT hardware or ICT products with specific levels of domestic content; measures to force the transfer of technology or IP to local entities; and unjustified requirements to conduct conformity assessment and certification procedures in-country.
According to the ITA, these forced localization measures threaten not only U.S. production of ICT hardware currently in the market but also the United States' competitive position in new and emerging technology sectors across the entire ICT-enabled industrial base as these policies expand to broader technology segments. The ITA is therefore seeking input on the following issues as it reviews policy options and potential remedies that can be utilized to develop a strategic response.
- laws, regulations, policies, trade practices, non-tariff barriers, and other trade-related measures put in place by U.S. trading partners that appear to be specifically structured to force the localization of production and technology development of ICT hardware and unfairly harm U.S. ICT hardware manufacturers and exports
- the estimated burden and harm caused by the identified measures in terms of lost revenue, market share, exports, employment, income, or other metrics to quantify the damage and harm to the U.S. ICT hardware manufacturing industry and related export opportunities
The scope of products included in this strategic review are ICT goods that fall under NAICS codes 3341, 3342, 3343, 3344, 3345, 3346, and 3359 or HS codes 8443, 8471, 8473, 8486, 8504, 8517, 8518, 8519, 8520, 8521, 8522, 8523, 8525, 8528, 8529, 8533, 8534, 8541, 8542, 8544.20, 8544.70, 9001.10, 9030, 9031.41, 8504.40, 8504.50, and 8504.90.

Radio Tracked Chemtrail Pilots MUST SEE
video by: www.youtube.com/brightonchemtrails Decsription: Just 2 hours on the Hill overlooking Brighton City and surrounding Counties, Hove, Shoreham, Worthing, woodingdean, etc, My radio scanner was plugged directly into the camera so the synch between the video and the camera is perfect as the Cam has a MIC input. They did so much chemtrailing before I got outside and after that I am making a Part 2 , without takes. I didnt hear one pilot above 3000ft!! but it seems Chemtrail pilots are using a callsign of "1101" heard that from more than one chemtrail pilot. I might be wrong on this so if you know better please let me know. .

When it comes to the most beautiful places we have seen in our travels, there is little that can compare to an early July morning in verdant New Hampshire. It was one of the things I loved most about my decades living in the Granite State and it is shear indulgence to be able to selectively return when the climate here outdoes itself feeding the soul. We had booked a full four weeks at Ashuelot River Campground for our summer address and under the caring attention of Chuck and Laura, we are thoroughly enjoying our seasonal home.
The most wonderful part of our time in New Hampshire is the reunions with our family members. We arrived in mid-June and one of our first was the occasion of an early birthday reunion for my Mom, who is 95 years old. All five of us "kids" (and spouses) were able to spend a varying amount of time together over several days and on Saturday and Mom treated us to a wonderful luncheon celebration. This has become a bit of a tradition for us now and lunch is followed by desserts at Mom's, made by my amazing sister. We missed our sister-in-law Vivi, who didn't come from Germany with my brother but hopefully, will next year.
From dinners with Peter's sister, his children and their families, and discovering how we are continuously astonished at how much the grandchildren have grown, there never seems to be enough time when we are here. We have become really adept at just basking in the present moment as much as we can when the emotions of loving and missing these dear people wash over us. We've slipped in reunions with some personal friends as well and savor the conversations that distill our respective lives since the last visit.
One of the requirements of life on the road, is scheduling visits to the health professionals who keep our various structural support systems in good working order. Many, like Peter's orthopedic surgeon and our shared primary care physician, have become friends, and some loyal blog readers, so to be face to face with them is a happy experience.
Our interest in Koreshan State Park continues to feed much of our trip planning this summer. The Petri dish that was the religious-utopian fervor of the 19th century had its origins in the northeast. Cyrus Teed, the founder of the Koreshan Unity Settlement, was from New York and as he was refining the vision for his utopian community, he studied the Shakers and had joined their community in West Lebanon, New York in 1892. We decided to do some additional research on the Shakers, first visiting the museum honoring their settlement in Canterbury, New Hampshire. Canterbury Shaker Village was established in 1792 when followers of founder Mother Ann Lee formed their seventh community in Canterbury and it remained prominent for 200 years. The Village has operated exclusively as a museum since 1992 when the last Shaker sister in residence, Ethel Hudson, died.
While visiting Canterbury, we met a tour guide who shared an interesting detail with us when we told him of our volunteering time at Koreshan Unity Settlement. He began to talk about the Koreshan founder, Teed, and told us that there is a record of an initial set of conversations between Teed and the Shakers in New York about an affiliation of the two religious-utopian communities, who shared many of the same theologies.
The information is held in the special collections at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, which houses primary and secondary source material concerning the history of American Communal Societies, of which Koreshan Unity Settlement was one.
This was new information to us and we have now decided to make a visit to the collection when heading west in late July. After checking the online collection at Hamilton College, I discovered that the Koreshan Unity Settlement was the editorial theme, and cover, of the October 2017 issue of the quarterly publication issued by the Richard Couper Press, which we have now received and completely devoured. This is very exciting stuff for us Koreshan groupies!
Last week Peter and I enjoyed lunch at the Wachusett Brewery where our son-in-law works. I want to give a shout-out to the place where they use an Airstream for their tasting area and then continue the theme to one of their brands. Wally is one of their most popular brews and it's named after Airstream founder, Wally Byam. If you every come across the brand, be sure to pick it up and give it a try. It's darn tasty and for the time you're enjoying it, you'll get to experience a bit of the aluminum beauty of our pilgrimage to here home, T2.
And finally, thank you to all of you loyal followers of our blog who have written wondering where we are and how we are. All is well. Our trip north from Georgia included a stop to visit family over Memorial Day weekend in North Carolina, and a surprise find of traditional American music in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia where we spent one remarkable evening at the Floyd Country Store, in Floyd, Virginia.
The townspeople show up on Friday's for a series of musical performances and the locals come in and dance the traditional Appalachian flatfooting, the origin of contemporary clog dancing and a relative of Irish danceflat. If you are ever anywhere near Floyd on a Friday night, bring along $5 to get a seat and enjoy hours of remarkable music and the hospitality of the townspeople. We are already planning a return visit to the glorious mountains.
And so I close this July post with this picture with my two great looking nephews taken during our Independence Day reunion in Connecticut. Cheers to all of our friends across this wonderful country of ours and happy 4th of July.
Peter and Liz are spending four weeks in New Hampshire, reuniting with family and friends (and allegedly cleaning some more stuff out of the storage area) while living in their Airstream, T2.

Melissa's Vegan pancakesApril 11, 2009 at 7:21 pm | Posted in Children, cooking, Pictures, Vegan baking | Comments Off on Melissa's Vegan pancakes
Here is my recipe for vegan pancakes. Certainly not the healthiest. But they are good.
2 cups Bisquick
3 tsp Egg Replacer (See picture below)
1 Tbl Sugar
1 tsp baking powder
4 Tbl water
1 1/2 cup soy milk
2 tsp vanilla (or as much as you want, I wouldn't recommend more then 2 tsp)
1 tsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
Mix and cook as you would regular pancakes. To me they taste just like regular pancakes
The mixed batter:
For those of you who wonder what I mean what I say Egg Replacer: (This packaging reminds me of the old Weight Watcher recipe cards. 🙂 )

On the rack waiting to be devoured. When I made this batch Abby and Anton each ate 6!

We're born alone but comforted by our parents and first caregivers. We grow up being taken care of by someone, but we all realise as early on as we develop a consciousness of ourselves that in our head we are alone and there are things we cannot explain to others. We develop ways of expressing ourselves and develop meaningful friendships in our childhood, but we still experience times of loneliness and times we really want to be only with ourselves.
It's nice to come in terms with being alone and enjoy the company of other creatures that surround you, because there are so many, even in the city. You hear their footsteps and feel their breaths, but you do not need to explain anything to them. It's reassuring to not give a shit about how you look and how you may come across socially.
Life may go on without us, but it's also nice and all the self-assurance we need, to remember that it goes on within us.

Call for police oversight board gets mixed response
WESTPORT — A man arrested for eating a hash brown in his car is now pushing for more civilian oversight of local police.
While the above sentence is accurate, it does not tell the whole story.
Jason Stiber was actually charged with driving while using a cellphone — he told the officer who pulled him over that the phone was, in fact, a hash brown.
"I had to go through two trials and then I was found not guilty," Stiber said.
He's now collecting signatures in favor of creating a citizen review board — technically a police commission — and though he has at least one well-placed supporter, it may be an uphill battle.
First Selectman Jim Marpe, for example, does not believe it's a necessary thing in Westport, noting an "absence of substantive complaints."
"I'm comfortable that our police department works actively to be sure that any citizen complaints are independently reviewed within the police department," he said.
Police Chief Foti Koskinas agrees. He said there is a system in place to guarantee oversight and accountability of the 64 police officers under his command.
"This is not a department that has excessive force issues," Koskinas said, though he readily admits that no department is immune. "Not that we're not capable. It could happen tomorrow."
That's not good enough for Stiber.
He said he felt "victimized" during the traffic stop, that the arresting officer was overworked, that footage from a body camera worn by the officer was not available and that complaints he filed with the department were "swept under the rug."
"I thought that there would be more on an unbiased complaint resolution mechanism," Stiber said. "I was shocked to find that there wasn't."
Kristan Hamlin, at least, is on Stiber's side. Hamlin is a member of the Westport Representative Town Meeting, a former federal prosecutor and practicing attorney. She said a civilian-run police commission makes sense.
"It is good civic hygiene to have military and paramilitary organizations accountable to civilian government," according to Hamlin. "With the exception of only one other town in Fairfield County, every single town in Fairfield County has a police commission. Darien has had one since 1925. They all work well."
Stiber's vision for a police commission, as outlined in his petition, is as follows: "The board will be constituted by five, unpaid, elected officials, which will be elected every two years on Election Day in November, when other town boards have their elections. Two of the positions on the board will be for Republican candidates, two will be for Democrats, and the fifth will be a swing seat for whichever fifth candidate gets the most votes."
Marpe said a police commission, as he understands it, would not have interfered with Stiber's incident, and that with as many as 30,000 police calls a year in Westport, the job would be tremendous.
"Ironically, most police review boards don't even deal with things like traffic stops," he said. "It's possible that this particular incident would not even risen to the level of review."
But that's not necessarily correct, according to Hamlin. She said police commissions have a wide-ranging series of responsibilities.
"The commissions do not supervise every phone call, and they do not take over the role of police," she said. "They provide oversight only on a couple of narrow topics, such as civilian complaints of police misconduct, and reviewing the quality of a police hire, before it is finalized."
Both Marpe and Koskinas pointed to accountability measures already in place. The department has relationships with the Anti-Defamation League, and with TEAM Westport (Together Effectively Achieving Multiculturalism), as well as an internal professional standards division, which looks at every civilian complaint.
"We spend so much time on so many different things," Koskinas said. "If there isn't a problem and things are getting done, why are we looking to add another layer?"
Koskinas said the officer who stopped Stiber is not new to traffic stops. "This same officer has stopped RTM members in our town. He has stopped hundreds of drivers. The complaints aren't pouring in. They aren't coming in at all."
Hamlin countered that the "don't fix what ain't" argument does not hold water.
"No organization with absolute power — unreviewable by the citizenry — favors giving up a portion of its absolute power," she said. "Anyone would selfishly favor a system of self-review and self-vindication."

Why Rooney may never wear the Manchester United Football Shirt again.Published February 24, 2011 / by admin
Article by Frank Cowan
The recent media storm surrounding Wayne Rooney and his lack of desire to continue to pull on a Manchester United Shirt have brought renewed focus on to the Club and brings back memories of other players in the recent past who have failed to appreciate that the club and its global brand are much greater than any individual player, no matter how gifted he may be. Sir Alex Ferguson has no doubt was to who should win when it comes to Club v Player and I am sure this can be testified to by Roy Keane, David Beckham, Jaap Stam and Ruud van Nistelrooy who have all left the club after spats with Sir Alex and they never pulled on a Man Utd shirt again. No one other than the player and the manager can know what the real reason behind the current news stories but there is no doubt that the real reason will only be revealed once a successful deal is concluded to sell the player. The current reason for the rift is reported to be Manchester United are no longer capable of attracting the top players that Rooney wishes to play alongside. There is no doubt that as the once wealthy club is now saddled with the Glazer debt they will find it hard to spend the kind of money needed to attract the very top names but there is no doubt that they have many young players coming through who will become great players of the future as Rooney did himself and maybe by staying at the club and helping them to develop as a team by offering support & mentoring would help Rooney achieve the success he says he continues to strive for. If he was to return to top form and allow a team to be built around him he may find that he is able to achieve real greatness by remaining in the red Manchester United Shirt especially if Sir Alex remains in charge for a few more years.There is no doubt that when a player loses the desire to play for a club that he will find it increasingly difficult to perform at the level of ability he is capable of and in the case in point this has arguably been so for some months now as the football media have been quick to point out. If we consider the recent newspaper reports on Wayne Rooney's private life alongside the reports from the weekend football matches it is often the case that great skill on the football field does not go hand in hand with a settled private life as many sporting stars have proved in the past. I am sure that this will be brought to a conclusion sooner rather than later and it will be interesting to see how much playing time Rooney is given between now and January next year, at which time he is likely to move on to another club, but there is little doubt that he has many more years of great football left to play, but no longer at Old Trafford unless he is in opposition to his old club.

ALLAN Johnston insists the quarter-final draw has handed Dunfermline a massive incentive for their Scottish Cup replay against Hamilton Accies.
The winners of the tie will be rewarded with a glamour trip to face Rangers at Ibrox in the last-eight and the Pars are determined to set up the mouthwatering encounter with a victory on Tuesday night.
Johnston believes his team should have already booked their place in the next round after taking the lead with Paul McMullan's first-half strike against Accies at home on Saturday.
And, despite being pegged back by the Premiership strugglers through Danny Redmond's late equaliser, the East End Park manager insists the weekend clash has given his players belief they can still progress.
He told @CCP_sport: "I was really pleased with the performance at the weekend. I was just disappointed not to get the win, obviously.
"But when you see the draw for the quarter-finals, it's a great opportunity for us to go and play against Rangers at Ibrox.
"All the boys are really looking forward to trying to do that.
"Obviously, the Hamilton game comes first and foremost, we've got to focus on that first.
"But getting the chance to play against one of the top teams in the country is a wee carrot for the boys.
"Everyone's desperate to play because we know how big a game it is if we can get through to the next round."
Having averted a cup shock at the weekend, Hamilton will themselves be determined to finish the job on home territory.
Johnston accepts that Accies will be expected to go through but believes his players will be buoyed by being able to match top-flight opposition on Saturday.
The Pars boss, who will give skipper Andy Geggan until the last minute to shake off a knock sustained on Saturday, added: "Hamilton is a really hard place to go to, they've got a lot of good players and we're going to have to be at it again; the performance levels have got to be as good as the last game.
"They are going to create chances, they've got good players, so we've got to take our chances when they come along.
"But we're going into the game with a lot of confidence and I think the pressure's on Hamilton, especially with them being at home as well.
"They're the Premiership team and they'll be expected to come at us to try to win the game.
"So, we know we're going to have to defend well and hopefully we can catch them going the other way as well."

Nectarine (Prunus persica) is a fruit that belongs to the Rosaceae family. The fruit resembles peach fruit, but one can spot the difference between the two through their skin and flavour. Nectarines possess innumerable health benefits which we are going to discuss in the article.
Nectarines are packed full of nutrients and antioxidants and they are of two types - freestone and clingstone. The freestone nectarines have pits that can be easily removed and they are easier to eat. The clingstone nectarines have pits that are harder to remove and are mostly used in cooking and canning.
Nectarines are nutrient-dense and low-calorie fruits which come in a variety of colours such as white, yellow, pink and red.Nutritional Value Of Nectarines

Postpartum hormones play a major role in affecting weight loss after baby. Hormones are those invisible little guys that can make or break your mood and your weight. Postpartum hormones are especially tricky because there is a roller coaster effect after having a baby, which can send us for a loop of adjustment. Understanding the how postpartum hormone levels ebb and flow after baby is a great start to managing these changes to help you lose the baby weight.
After you give birth, progesterone and estrogen take a massive nose dive. This is essential to tell your body to produce breast milk. Your Oxytocin levels also go up for producing breast milk. This is a complete 180 after being pregnant with high levels of estrogen. These hormonal changes cause individual reactions in each mama that are unique to that mama. Some people function at their best with low estrogen and progesterone, while others may feel totally depressed.
In addition, with the high levels of Oxytocin, some mamas may feel like they are on top of the world, while others can feel totally anxious. Oxytocin also increases your ability to see danger, and heightens your awareness, which can lead to a more anxious state of mind. Progesterone levels hit the floor, which help manage anxiety as well, so you don't have the natural balance that is more normal. Anxiety often causes appetite and eating issues that make weight loss really hard. If you aren't use to anxiety at all, food could be your first step to managing these new feelings, and you don't even realize this is what you are doing.
New feelings of anxiety, from postpartum hormonal shifts play a major role in weight loss.
Mamas who aren't accustomed to the stress of a new baby, and anxiety find themselves wanting to eat to emotionally feel better, but because this is so new, they think they are starving because of breast feeding. Not wanting to lose milk supply, they continue to eat and fill an appetite that isn't fueled by hunger, but anxiety.
If this is your reaction, or you are thinking it might be, there are a few things you can do to manage these postpartum hormonal shifts to help you lose weight.
First, herbal supplements like Vitex or Chasteberry can really help with postpartum hormonal changes:
I took Vitex years ago for PMS issues, and I found it to be very, very helpful. It is also proven to help with milk supply and alleviate some of the massive swings in hormones. Balancing your hormones as much as possible is the best we can do through the postpartum phase. You could be getting your cycle soon after baby, despite exclusively breastfeeding, which means your hormone levels are changing monthly. If this is the case, I highly recommend taking the Vitex or Chasteberry to see if that helps your mood and postpartum hormonal swings.
Exercise can boost mood and help stabilize postpartum hormones too:
Exercise is really hard to fit in after having a new baby, but it is super helpful in boosting your mood and easing anxiety. I highly recommend walking for postpartum mamas because it is just enough to get your blood flowing, safe and effective in burning fat. It can also help you process your anxiety and stress, even if you don't realize you are stressed. If you are aren't 6-weeks postpartum yet, most doctors will tell you walking is just fine, so check to make sure, and get going. It will dramatically help you, and you can do it anywhere. If weather is an issue, see if you can get to a gym or walk around your house with the baby in a carrier. Dance and walk for 45 minutes to get moving and let go of all the stressful events surrounding your day.
Balancing blood sugar and eating the right nutrients is super important:
If you are managing your anxiety with food, then you most likely are experiencing blood sugar imbalances that are causing your mood and energy to drop and exacerbate some of the uneasy feelings. Managing your postpartum hormones with a great, nutrient-dense diet really does help. I highly recommend starting the day with protein shakes, which are a huge part of my program. I recommend this protein powder because it is super clean and plant-based. It tastes great, and when you blend it up with a frozen banana or fruit, you are filling your body with lots of fiber and protein which will help keep you full, in addition to keeping your blood sugar balanced. Obviously this can sound difficult with everything going on, and I get it, but what I've also found is that combining the protein with the fiber in the frozen fruit really helps you feel full and satiated, as well as giving you something sweet to drink, which helps with the sugar cravings.
Postpartum hormones have a mind of their own, and realistically we need them to fluctuate in order to properly produce breast milk and recovery from delivering a baby. The issue is more how our body reacts to the postpartum hormone fluctuations, rather than trying to change the fluctuations themselves.
I personally believe in exercise and nutrition as the foundation to healing mentally and physically, and I highly recommend adding some herbs like the Vitex or Chasteberry to help you function as optimally as possible during the adjustment period. The important thing to note is that this is a difficult time period. There is stress, lack of sleep, adjusting and hormone fluctuations. Everything comes together to make it difficult to manage life all together. Remind yourself to appreciate the little things, like clean clothes, a shower, more than 2 hours of sleep at a time, a healthy baby….in order to keep things in perspective. Life isn't going to go back to normal any time soon, so it really helps to make your own new normal! If you are struggling to lose the baby weight, please check out my free, 5-day jump start plan to help you with baby steps!
If you need help losing the baby weight and keeping up your milk supply, I have a very popular program, The Postpartum Cure, which comes in an app you can download.

The basic premise is that Mark Ruffalo's character is manic-depressive and has had several breakdowns. He tries to reclaim his life and family by attempting to take care of their two daughters while his wife, played by Zoe Saldana, goes to school to get her MBA. It's Mr. Mom, but with bi-polar disorder.
While Polar Bear is rated R, it's mainly because of language. This is a time where I really don't see why it couldn't have been PG-13. Why? Because a movie goes over the quota for certain words? It's stupid, antiquated and I don't think this should affect that rating that much these days. It being rated R might discourage people from taking their kids, but I actually think this is something you should take your kids to see, provided they are mature enough.
Infinitely Polar Bear isn't depressing or a downer, and I actually think that most people will ultimately enjoy and have fun with it. Despite its lighter tone, it has its poignant moments and worth seeing just for the performances. I actually thought it was a good date movie. Infinitely worth a matinee.

JOHOR BAHRU, 9 August 2017 – The Faculty of Education, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in collaboration with Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto, Indonesia (UMP) has organized an International Service Learning Program (ISLP). This program had been conducted with the community at Felda Air Tawar 3, Kota Tinggi, Johor.
The program began on 16 July 2017 and ended on 7 August 2017. A total number of 22 students and 3 lecturers from UMP took part in this program. Meanwhile, 16 lecturers and 3 students from Faculty of Education UTM involved as the facilitators of the program.

An ISLP is designed to strengthen an international collaboration between educational institutions in community service collaboration programs. In addition, the program also provides consultation and training for the implementation of the program, and provides services to the community despite the diverse cultures and languages.
These differences have created an agreement in the guidelines, rules and documentation associated with community service program management collaboration at the international level. This is a unique aspect of an ISLP.
The Faculty of Education will continue to promote New Academia Learning Innovation (NALI) through Service Learning. Various activities associated with open classroom learning were provided in the ISLP such as Bio Village Seminar, Bio Agro Community, LOHAS Community with KOSPEN, Kelab Suka Belajar Program, ICT for 21st Century Learning, Kampung Digital, Johor Culinary, Beliaprenur Program, Forum Perdana, Kuliyyah Dhuha and LOHAS Community.
On 3 August 2017, a Bio-village Seminar was held at the Felda Air Tawar 3 Hall and was attended by the ISLP 2017 participants, Felda Air Tawar 3 residents, students from 8 secondary schools chosen by Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah (PPD) Kota Tinggi and nearby communities.
In this seminar, the participants have demonstrated community service outcomes that have been successfully implemented together with the community.
The closing ceremony was officiated by the Social Development Officer of Felda Wilayah Johor Bahru, Hajjah Saedah Aziz accompanied by the Dean of the Faculty of Education, Professor Dr Baharuddin Aris and the program manager, Mr. Shahrin Hashim.
This ISLP received positive responses from the participants.
All participants felt that the activities benefited them in many ways and they look forward to sharing positive experiences with their peers and colleagues at Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwekerto, Indonesia.
Professor Dr Baharuddin Aris, during his speech, commented that he was really satisfied with the sincere work that has been showed by all the ISLP's participating students and staffs, and it would be for sure uplifting UTM's NALI through Service Learning.
