Jan. 13th Update From whatis5g.info by Kate Kheel
Sometimes there is too much rain for the earth to absorb resulting in pools of stagnant water and flooding.
Sometimes after a huge feast we are so stuffed we literally cannot take one more bite.
To make foie gras, farmers (cruelly) ram rods down the throats of ducks and geese to force feed them till they can barely stand up.
This is where much of humanity is right now with technology. We are saturated with 24/7 "connectivity" in the name of "progress", "convenience", or "public safety". We cannot take even one more bite.
"While telecom companies are moving full speed ahead to put up millions of small cell towers for their new 5G (fifth generation) cellular communication system in the United States, the public is waking up to the fact that 5G has not been proven safe for human health."
Conclusion – Thinking about the Future
"Please give serious thought to not getting on the 5G bandwagon. There will be massive advertising campaigns in the months and years to come, designed to get everyone to switch over to 5G phones. You don't have to bite the bait. 4G smartphones and 3G phones for voice and texting are adequate for everyday use.
We don't need 5G technology to live happy and productive lives!
You might even consider whether this is a good time to just turn off your cellular service and live a less hectic life. You could join the small minority of people who are minimizing their microwave exposure by simply living without a cell phone of any type.
It is important to consider that the demand for better cellular service is not coming from consumers, but from mega-corporations who are trying to create a market for a new set of products.
It's not really about better service, but about greater profitability for corporations who don't mind killing off people with microwave radiation in order to turn greater profits.
It is also about creating a system that will enable central control over every aspect of human life.
5G is not a vision of something better, but an omen of something much worse."
Heart-warming way to begin the New Year!!
May the "woes" of technology stocks plummeting fuel our awakening to the beauty and glory of the Natural World, and our connection to one another, the earth, and to our deepest yearnings.
Envisioning a year of awakening.
With much gratitude to Environmental Health Trust for this compilation of local ordinances
"From coast to coast local governments are taking action to protect their communities from the unfettered deployment of 4G and 5G "small cell" wireless facilities. Several cities are passing ordinances that strictly limit the buildout. Many policymakers ask "What are other cities doing?"
This page is a compilation of top examples of what cities are doing to protect their communities. For each city we provide a short synopsis along with a link to download the ordinance or policy. Scroll down to see the City and policy. Please download and share these examples with your community. "
With much gratitude to Americans for Responsible Technology for this model ordinance. PLEASE SEE THE JANUARY 2019 GRASSROOTS ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION'S UPDATE COPIED BELOW.
Sample Small Cell Code for Villages, Towns and Small Cities
"We've collected the best ideas from cities and towns all over the country that are pushing back against the FCC and the unfettered rollout of small cell wireless facilities.
If your town is receiving requests from wireless carriers or antenna construction companies for permission to construct small cell facilities in public rights-of-way, this document is what you need to get started with your own code to protect property values, privacy, safety and public health."
December 30, 2018 (Updated January 3, 2019)
With much appreciation to Dr. Moskowitz from EMR Safety for this comprehensive overview of the year.
"This year the U.S. government disbanded with many environmental protections and paved the way for industry to intensify its exploitation of the environment at the expense of planetary health. The telecom and wireless industries have benefited from the government's abdication of responsibility to protect the public's health. State and federal governments have conflicts of interest — on average, 19% of your cell phone bill is devoted to taxes and fees in addition to the taxes that corporations pay."
Warning: Your Cell Phone May Be Hazardous to Your Health
Jan. 25th, 2010 | Christopher Ketcham
This 2010 article documents the history of suppression of evidence regarding health effects from RF/microwave radiation (wireless radiation). Article includes cell towers and WiFi as well…but obviously, not "small cells" outside our homes. With 5g, the corruption and suppression is now on steroids.
The public must insist on safe technology, and not settle for the wireless infrastructure that industry and government are ramming down our throats.
Wireless is unsafe, unreliable, energy consumptive, invades our privacy, and puts us all at risk for devastating cyber attacks.
All communities must insist on safe, fast, reliable, energy efficient and cyber secure fiber to all homes, schools, and businesses. Wireless should be reserved for short calls when out-and-about, and text messages.
The bulk of all data transmission must be sent and delivered through wires, and not sprayed through the air wirelessly.

Challenge to FCC's 5G Network Order Moves to Ninth Circuit Jan. 11th, 2019 | Bloomberg Law
A challenge by dozens of cities and counties to a Federal Communications Commission order aimed at speeding up the deployment of 5G network infrastructure is back in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit Jan. 10 granted a bid by San Jose, Calif. and other local governments to transfer the case to where they had originally sued. The court also denied their bid to stay the FCC's order pending the litigation. The order is set to take effect in part on Jan. 14.
The transfer is "huge news," Robert (Tripp) May, counsel for the League of California Cities and several other local government petitioners, told Bloomberg Law Jan. 11.
"Between the two, I would take the transfer over the stay seven days a week," May, a telecom partner at Telecom Law Firm PC in San Diego, said. Petitioners now can ask the Ninth Circuit to halt the order, even after it takes effect, May said.
San Jose and 22 other cities and counties sued to overturn an order restricting how much local governments can charge wireless carriers to process applications for small cell equipment that's critical to 5G. The order also imposes deadlines for cities to grant or deny the applications.
More local governments, as well as Sprint Corp., AT&T Inc., and Verizon Communications Inc., later filed separate petitions against the order in other federal circuit courts. The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated the petitions and chose the Tenth Circuit to hear the case.
The petitioners argued that the Ninth Circuit should hear the case because the FCC order ignores a Ninth Circuit interpretation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The law says governments can't stop entities from providing telecom services. The Ninth Circuit has held that an entity must show "actual or effective prohibition" to allege a violation.
The FCC's order essentially says that if a city makes it harder for a carrier to provide telecom services, that amounts to a prohibition, May said.
The FCC and the wireless carriers had opposed the cities' bid to transfer the case. Spokespeople for the FCC, Sprint, and Verizon declined to comment. AT&T didn't immediately respond to a Bloomberg Law request for comment.
The main case is City of San Jose v. FCC, 10th Cir., No. 18-9568, 1/10/19.

Devra Lee Davis, PhD, MPH, Founder & President of Environmental Health Trust & Visiting Professor of Medicine The Hebrew University
Ricocheting off last week's Internet outage where thousands of 911 calls failed, and in some places medical records were inaccessible, Dr. Devra Davis examines our current dependency on wireless.
"industry seeks the cheapest, quickest, and most profitable path, which has directly led to both our growing wireless dependency and the latest outages."
"Tim Schoechle, a former industry network designer, powerfully documents, in his report on The Future of Landlines and Networks, open public access to the internet is essential for our security and safety. The Century Link outage provides compelling proof that such access can never be met through wireless systems. Wired systems are faster, more secure, reliable, energy efficient, and safer than wireless. Wired lines provide quicker safer ways to download and share information, that cannot be disturbed."
"U.S. networks are privately controlled. Although hundreds of millions have been provided to underwrite secure copper lines and optical fiber systems, much of that money has been diverted to wireless systems that are prone to hacking and doomed to extinction."
"It's time to take a new look at all of this, before we find out that the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train."
Washington DC is Ground Zero for the Race to 5G
but is the American Public Fully Informed? Oct. 19th, 2018 | Devra Lee Davis, PhD, MPH | Thrive
J.C. Dvorak didn't mince words when he reported on some of the failings of 5g.
Shortly thereafter, "both Dvorak and his article were summarily removed and replaced with 'What is 5G' –an article boasting of growing markets for 2019."
In this excellent "Thrive" article, Dr. Devra Davis segues from Dvorak's dismissal, and touches on many of the key points of why we need to change our trajectory regarding Internet and Telecommunications technology.
"When it comes to networks, just as with bridges, it's far better to construct it correctly now rather than be forced to repair avoidable damages later."

"The research firm BI Intelligence estimates that by 2020, three out of every four cars sold worldwide will be models with connectivity."

I Gave a Bounty Hunter $300. Then He Located Our Phone
T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T are selling access to their customers' location data, and that data is ending up in the hands of bounty hunters and others not authorized to possess it, letting them track most phones in the country. Jan. 8th, 2019 | Joseph Cox | Motherboard
"If there is money to be made they will keep selling the data."
"Your mobile phone is constantly communicating with nearby cell phone towers, so your telecom provider knows where to route calls and texts. From this, telecom companies also work out the phone's approximate location based on its proximity to those towers."
[Please note that with 4g/5g towers in front of our homes, data tracking capability from cell towers will be far more granular than depicted in this article!!]
"Although many users may be unaware of the practice, telecom companies in the United States sell access to their customers' location data to other companies, called location aggregators, who then sell it to specific clients and industries."
"In the case of the phone we tracked, six different entities had potential access to the phone's data. T-Mobile shares location data with an aggregator called Zumigo, which shares information with Microbilt. Microbilt shared that data with a customer using its mobile phone tracking product. The bounty hunter then shared this information with a bail industry source, who shared it with Motherboard."
"Locating a phone can cost as little as $4.95 each if searching for a low number of devices. That price gets even cheaper as the customer buys the capability to track more phones. Getting real-time updates on a phone's location can cost around $12.95."
"Wireless carriers' continued sale of location data is a nightmare for national security and the personal safety of anyone with a phone. When stalkers, spies, and predators know when a woman is alone, or when a home is empty, or where a White House official stops after work, the possibilities for abuse are endless."
20,000 Satellites for 5G to be Launched Sending Focused Beams of Intense Microwave Radiation Over Entire Earth Jan. 13th, 2019 | John P. Thomas | Health Impact News
Wish this were a bad dream we could awaken from…but alas it's not. Yet there's still a chance we can create a better tomorrow for us All. If we can awaken in time.
20,000 satellites are slated to be deployed in the next few years, raining down radiation upon the earth. These towers will complement the increasing densification of our neighborhoods with 4g/5g "small cells" next to or near our homes rendering our environments extremely hazardous to both humans and wildlife.
"As bad as these small cell towers might seem from the standpoint of constant exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation in close proximity to the source, perhaps an even more alarming prospect will be the beaming of millimeter length microwaves at the earth from thousands of new communication satellites.
The total number of satellites that is expected to be put into low and high orbit by several companies will be 20,000 satellites."

The Internet of Bodies: A Convenient—and, Yes, Creepy—New Platform for Data Discovery Jan. 7th, 2019 | Anick Jesdanun
(This is for real!)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is now onto and inside the human body, becoming the Internet of Bodies (IoB)
"Is being tracked by the phone in your hand or the watch on your wrist really that much different than being tracked by a device right next to your watch or your phone that just happens to be under your skin?"
"Heverly notes that legal issues abound, including product liability, various other torts, and even bankruptcy and debtor-creditor issues as he pondered repo agents coming to repossess the embedded Internet of Bodies devices of those unable to pay their IoB bills."

LIABILITY and PROPERTY VALUES
Property Values Declining Near Cell Towers
When it comes to cell phone towers, there is increasingly the perception that a family does not want to live next to one. There is good reason for this as the research on health effects shows.
Excellent resource with a slew of articles, videos and studies related to declining property value around cell tower installations.
4g/5g cell antennas in front of our homes = highway robbery by Telecom companies for their benefit at our expense.
Do we really want to subsidize Telecom companies to the tune of thousands of our hard-earned dollars.
Boggles the mind how our government is allowing Telecom to deploy "small cells" outside our homes when no insurer wants to cover health effects from non-ionizing radiation.
"The Electromagnetic Fields Exclusion (Exclusion 32) is a General Insurance Exclusion and is applied across the market as standard. The purpose of the exclusion is to exclude cover for illnesses caused by continuous long-term non-ionising radiation exposure i.e. through mobile phone usage."
"We will not
a) make any payment on your behalf for any claim, or
b) incur any costs and expenses, or
c) reimburse you for any loss, damage, legal expenses, fees or costs sustained by you, or
d) pay any medical expenses"

My field research shows that children as young as six are among those risking their lives amid toxic dust to mine cobalt for the world's big electronics firms
Oct. 12th, 2018 | Siddharth Kara | The Guardian Modern-day slavery in focus is supported by Humanity United
"Elodie is 15. Her two-month-old son is wrapped tightly in a frayed cloth around her back. He inhales potentially lethal mineral dust every time he takes a breath. Toxicity assaults at every turn; earth and water are contaminated with industrial runoff, and the air is brown with noxious haze. Elodie is on her own here, orphaned by cobalt mines that took both her parents. She spends the entire day bent over, digging with a small shovel to gather enough cobalt-containing heterogenite stone to rinse at nearby Lake Malo to fill one sack. It will take her an entire day to do so, after which Chinese traders will pay her about $0.65 (50p). Hopeless though it may be, it is her and her child's only means of survival."

"There is much documentation of the negative social impacts of this mining that extend far beyond child slavery and civil wars.""…children living in the mining district had ten times as much cobalt in addition to other far more dangerous minerals in their urine as children living elsewhere, far higher than the acceptable limits set under EU regulations."
5g and the IoT are clearly not the direction we should be headed.

This does not bode well for the 5G roll-out.
Building the markets for the many diverse IoT applications is a long-term project and will take many years or decades—and much of it does not require 5G since it can be done with 3G, 4G or even other alternatives (e.g., fiber and WiFi). A lot of it can be done with cheaper wireless alternatives and I would say that most of the industrial stuff does not even need to be wireless. The connected car or driverless car is mostly hype, unnecessary, uneconomic, and is a completely undefined market. The "smart city" applications mostly do not require wireless. Also wireless "smart city" sensors or low power energy harvesting sensors would not use 5G anyway due to their power or cost constraints.
I conclude that now is the time to strike against 5G. It is weak. Through local pushback, legislation, and pressure on multiple fronts, the wheels can come loose on this Juggernaut by highlighting the risks and scaring off the investors. At the same time we can push for the alternative of community fiber which will be far better for everyone for many reasons. Fiber is where the investment should go.
The "Big Hangup"/"Smartphone Overload!" article may seem a bit misleading, but if you read between the lines, it is clearly defensive, even in the title. Basically it says "don't look to smartphone sales to carry the 5G market.. look to something else.." But everything else is nascent and undeveloped. This is key to understanding the situation.
The WSJ print edition version of the article today included three important charts that tell the story of declining smartphone sales. Unfortunately the version that is downloadable from the WSJ website did not include these charts, although they are visible in the "digital replica" version. I have pasted them into the attached .pdf of the article after page 4 for you. One chart shows change in global smartphone shipments peaking in 2014 and now at close to an all-time low. Both Samsung and Apple have taken huge hits on their stock price because of this decline. There is no solid basis for 5G growth and investment without smartphone sales. The other stuff will take years to established a market.
Good Afternoon,
If you have not met before, please allow me to introduce you Sarah Aminoff. I met Sarah through the Generation Zapped film, she is one of the people in the montage of those with microwave sickness.
She has worked very hard in California to raise awareness, and is responsible for the San Francisco Unified School District teacher's union recently adopting an EMF resolution.
She is now working on other ways to help get word out on the need for technology safety, and the Sierra Club suggested she do a PSA with children affected by EMFs. She is now exploring the possibility of doing so.
If you have a child with microwave sickness and would like to help with this project, please reach out directly to Sarah via the email below.
Thanks, as ever, for your time and consideration.

I live out in the country now and am (happily) on the other side of the digital divide. The drawback is there is no fiber or cable where I live. But unfortunately, the way things stand at the present moment, if there were fiber, there would likely be one or more cell towers near me. But since I don't have fiber, I must resort to satellite for access to the Internet, therefore, I never watch videos from my home as they spew boatloads more RF than text. All to say, I haven't watched the following video.
In Israel, parents are fighting to have a cell tower that is right beside a high school removed after learning that nearly 60% of the kids attending suffered health problems consistent with exposure to microwave radiation. They held a 3 month strike to emphasize their concerns. Below is a 1½ minute YouTube explaining their battle and concerns.
You know that under current law we have not been allowed to protest the erection of cell towers, even near schools and in residential areas, based on health concerns. Well, the very first lawsuit addressing this issue by contesting the constitutionality of the 1996 Telecommunications Act was filed in Santa Fe, New Mexico on December 21, 2018 by Arthur Firstenberg and others.
Among other items, the lawsuit requests the court to declare that "environment" does not mean "health" in Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act.
Further, the lawsuit argues that:
134. The FCC has no statutory authority over human health, and its RF (radio frequency) exposure guidelines are neither mandatory nor enforceable.
135. The FCC has stated repeatedly that its RF exposure guidelines are procedural only and serve only to determine whether an FCC licensee must file an Environmental Assessment or not. Non-mandatory regulations cannot have preemptive effect. Yet, Section 704 gives these regulations preemptive authority, prohibiting States and local governments from adopting any regulations more stringent than those adopted by the FCC.
136. Section 704 prohibits States and local governments from providing any remedy for injury by RF radiation without providing a substitute federal remedy. This prohibition violates Substantive Due Process because it forecloses any and all remedies for injury by RF radiation.
143. Section 704 violates the First Amendment right to Free Speech.
145. Section 704 deprives persons threatened with injury of the right to be notified, of the right to participate in the decision, of the right to protest that decision, of the right to appeal that decision, and, when they are injured, of the right to tort relief or any remedy whatsoever for their injuries.
146. Section 704 violates the First Amendment Right to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances.
You can read the full court document here: https://www.emfconsultant.com/upload/Doc%201%20-%20Complaint.pdf
If you'd like to support this lawsuit, you are gratefully invited to make a tax-deductible donation to the Cellular Phone Task Force at this site: http://www.cellphonetaskforce.org/donate/
To be successful, this lawsuit, as well as the International Appeal to Stop 5G, needs financial support. To help us get this support, we are looking for a person experienced at raising funds. A prospectus is being prepared which will detail the funds needed, and the commissions the fundraiser will receive. If you, or anyone you know, can raise funds, and believes in this cause, please let me know, or contact Arthur directly at firstname.lastname@example.com His phone number in New Mexico is 505-471-0129.

Both the Prime Minister and President called us to return to our Ministries and take back our portfolios" said ACMC Leader Rishad Bathiudeen said today.
Bathiudeen was addressing the media today after giving a statement to the Organised Crimes Prevention Division (OCPD), Colombo.
"I previously complained about false media statements published against me and today they called me to come and give more details about them. For example false media reports on Sathosa vehicles used by suicide bomber Zahran. I have not committed any offences and despite this various people accused me" he added.
"When the media questioned him on the opposition's allegation that the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) worked to 'sanitise' him of the allegations made against him, and his next steps after PSC, he said:
"Both the ruling and opposition parties called on the Speaker to establish this PSC focused on Easter Sunday bombings. Since I was also invited to give evidence at the PSC I appeared before it and answered their questions. I am an MP who has not committed any of the alleged offences."
" I stress that all persons guilty of the bombings should be legally punished. This is what my community too is believing in. However, allegations linking us to the bombings are made, and for narrow political gains. At a time when defence authorities and sections are conducting investigations and at a time when such investigations are progressing well with many terrorist arrests, it is inappropriate to make such allegations against us –that too, for political gains. People will understand the truth about these accusers in future. But people who accuse me with a political bias have so far failed to file any complaints against me with the Police or CID. They accused me saying that I took over 3000 acres in my name and later said it was over 8000 acres. At the PSC I clarified that that neither I nor my family own 3000 or 8000 acres as claimed by them, and if they find that I own such, I invite the government to take possession of it. Rather than claiming in media on a daily basis that I took over lands, why can't they file a police complaint and prove it in the Courts of Law? We resigned from our Ministries for the sake of our country and its unity. We are not in any hurry to return to our portfolios. Both the Prime Minister and President also called us to return to our Ministries and take back the portfolios –both the PM and President also know that we, the Muslim Ministers, have not committed any alleged offences. In fact the entire country is aware of our innocence too."

Working on my sermon for Sunday about the Wise Men. For a long time I thought I would use this story as the beginning, and we will see if I should have stuck with that idea, but before it falls into the trash folder I thought I would share it here. It is the obligatory "If the Wise Men Had Been Women" joke:
What would have happened if it had been three Wise Women instead of three Wise Men?
They would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts.
But what they would have said when they left…?
"Did you see the sandals Mary was wearing with that gown?"
"That baby doesn't look anything like Joseph!"
"Virgin? Yeah! I knew her in school!"
"Can you believe that they let all of those disgusting animals in the house?"
"I heard that Joseph isn't even working right now!"
"And that donkey that they are riding has seen better days too!"
"Want to bet on how long it will take until you get your casserole dish back?"
It won't make the sermon (at least I don't think so) but you will tell it!

Okay, I haven't posted in about a week, so I figured I'd better post on here so I don't look like a big ol' hypocrite whining about other people not updating their blogs.
Jamie has gotten to go to Boy Scout camp this week courtesy of the YMCA. I still take him over to the YMCA in the morning, then they bus him over to Boy Scouts Camp, then bus him back to the YMCA in time for me to pick him up. He's having a blast! He was all atwitter over getting to shoot bows 'n arrows, a BB gun (a big deal, as I've NEVER let him shoot anything other than a water gun), go swimming and make all sorts of cool crafts. He's already made me a multi-colored beaded key chain, and made himself a leather bracelet and a leather and beaded necklace. He also will be taking a swimming test today to see if he's allowed to swim "on the big boys' side of the pool." They won't let you over there if all you know how to do is doggy paddle, it seems. I'm glad he's having fun and getting plenty of "boy time".
Stressed out over school, as usual. I have a big 10 page term paper coming up that I haven't even started yet. Plus I have a ton of reading and assignments to do. I'm frustrated and burned out, and can't wait until I get a couple of weeks off school before the Fall semester starts again. I'm tired, very cranky, totally discouraged and feel like my brain is going to start leaking out of my ears.
Work is, well, work. I've taken on even more responsibility overseeing some of the projects directly, and the stress of that on top of my other duties have fervently wishing my boss would hire me some help. [sigh] I don't see it happening any time soon.
Okay, well, now that I'm done whining, I'll get back to work. Goodness knows there's plenty of it to be done around here.

So here it is; the last game before all-star break. We've won 3 in a row (Bulls, Indiana, Blazers) which is very nice, and we have a chance to get even closer to .500 tonight. Before I break down any of the numbers, here's the injury report:
Brandon Ingram (Right Ankle Sprain) is questionable for Thursday's vs OKC— New Orleans Pelicans (@PelicansNBA) February 12, 2020
Story: https://t.co/UnX3cP0CTv#Pelicans | @MorrisBartLLC pic.twitter.com/UKz15Y0fTZ
Nothing really new; Ingram still questionable. To be honest, I'm tempted to just say sit him: it's the last game before a big long break, if there's any real issue at all, let him start his break early. No need to pressure him in if he's still feeling it. Of course, if he's okay to go, then play him, but don't try and rush anything.
As for this game; Oklahoma City Thunder. They are 32-22, behind yet another fantastic year from all-time great Hall of Famer, Chris Paul. They have gone 17-8 since Christmas. They are only 0.5 games behind Dallas for the 6th seed, which means they could very easily make 6th before the year is out.
OKC has a good offense, 14th in the NBA, and a solid defense (12th) but neither are spectacular. They're a slow team, 23rd in pace. They're 7th in FG% and 4th in FT%, but are pretty mediocre from long range at only 12th. They're bottom 5 in assists, and bottom 10 in rebounds and steals. Part of this is due to pace, of course, but it still represents a problem for them worth taking advantage of, especially when we are such a dominant offensive rebounding team. OKC doesn't beat itself though; they don't turn it over or foul much, falling in the bottom 10 in the league in both stats.
Other players have been good for them (SGA, for example) but the real story is Chris Paul. Averaging 17.5/5/7 in 32 minutes a game, CP3 still has it. What's more, he's been relatively healthy, having played 53 games this year; they've only played 54.
He's shooting ridiculously well from all over; 60.8% TS overall, but that includes a truly stupid 84% at the rim, 52% from the paint, 53% from the short midrange, and 53% from the long midrange too. It's worth noting that only 6% of his FGAs are at-rim attempts, so that 84% efficiency is on extremely low sample size, but still; impressive.
Only 14% of his makes are assisted. He's just self-creating tons and tons of stupidly efficient offense, all the while playmaking for everyone else; he's a +8.2 on/off. Plus, somehow he's still an excellent defender. This is a 34 year old point guard who is barely 6'0 tall, people. What he's doing this year is all-NBA, undoubtedly. He's still top 20 in PIPM, just for added benefit.
That's the run-down, really. We don't necessarily need this one, I wouldn't call it a must win, but it would be great for momentum's sake if we could clean up with a victory tonight before heading into all-star break. 24-31 incoming?

Yesterday's column by David Brooks illustrates why I both like and dislike his work. His column starts out making points similar to a recent post I wrote on the realignment between the parties, with an increasing number of educated and affluent voters now voting Democratic. Brooks writes:
Political analysts now notice a gap between professionals and managers. Professionals, like lawyers and media types, tend to vote and give Democratic. Corporate managers tend to vote and give Republican. The former get their values from competitive universities and the media world; the latter get theirs from churches, management seminars and the country club.
The trends are pretty clear: rising economic sectors tend to favor Democrats while declining economic sectors are more likely to favor Republicans. The Democratic Party (not just Obama) has huge fund-raising advantages among people who work in electronics, communications, law and the catchall category of finance, insurance and real estate. Republicans have the advantage in agribusiness, oil and gas and transportation. Which set of sectors do you think are going to grow most quickly in this century's service economy?
Initially I found some interesting material in his column, but he really goes downhill in the next paragraph:
Amazingly, Democrats have cultivated this donor base while trending populist on trade by forsaking much of the Clinton Third Way approach and by vowing to raise taxes on capital gains and the wealthy. If Obama's tax plans go through, those affluent donors could wind up giving over 50 percent of their income to the federal government.
In terms of populism, it is notable that of the three major candidates this year, the two who ran populist campaigns, Clinton and Edwards lost while the candidate who is most market-oriented and influenced by Chicago school economists did win. Obama's victory was a clear sign of the direction the Democratic Party has been moving for the last several years.
Even worse is the mischaracterization of Obama's tax policies. Such scare tactics on his tax policies represent typical Republican attacks, similar to their old claims that Democrats will take away people's guns and bibles. I didn't bother to respond to this column yesterday as I've discussed Obama's tax policies recently (here and here). Obama's tax policies are most likely designed to avoid scaring away the affluent new Democratic voters who Brooks discusses. Obama has been saying that those making up to $250,000 will not see an increase in taxes, including income taxes, capital gains taxes, and Social Security payroll taxes. It is primarily those in the top one tenth of one percent who will see an increase, primarily as they benefited the most from Bush's tax cuts.
Jared Bernstein has commented further on this column:
According to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center's analysis of Obama's tax plan, the correct share for the richest 1 percent of households–those with income above $600,000–is 36 percent; for the for the richest 0.1 percent, above $2.9 million, the rate would be 39 percent. Note also that since these estimates include taxes remitted by corporations, the actual tax returns that these households fill out would find them paying less than 30 percent of their income in taxes. Even with Senator Obama's proposal to raise Social Security taxes on those with earnings above $250,000, a proposal for which he has yet to specify a rate, tax liabilities of the affluent would still be far below 50 percent of their income.
It's also worth noting that these tax rates for those at the top of the scale are about the same as those that prevailed under Bill Clinton's presidency (average for the top 1 percent, 1993-2000: 35 percent), a period of strong and broadly shared economic growth.

Saving on School Supplies
Back to School time is here, and so are the deals! The National Retail Federation estimates that parents plan to spend $150 – $180 per child on school supplies, backpacks, and lunch boxes in 2016, up slightly from last year. Those expenses can really add up when you have multiple kids. So, how can you save on school supplies? Read on for five ways to save money on school supplies before you break the bank.
Plan ahead and Shop Around
First print your school supply lists and make one consolidated list of everything you need to buy. This way you are not carrying around multiple lists that you need to cross off. With your list in hand, browse the online circulars for Target, Walmart, Staples, and Office Depot for items on your list. The best way to save the most money is to shop around and even split your list across 2 stores where you find the best deals. For example, I got $50 worth of school supplies for just $6.59 this week at Office Depot. They have amazing door-buster deals when you spend a min of $5, you can take advantage of $.01 eraser 3 packs, $.01 Elmer's Glue and $.01 composition notebooks as well as $.25 Crayola Markers and $.25 BIC pen 12 packs.
I bought earbuds for $5, 3 packs of erasers for $.03, 3 packs of markers for $.75, 3 packs of 12 ct pens for $.75, 3 Elmer's glue for $.03 and 3 composition notebooks for $.03 and I spent a total of $6.59 for these 16 items.
This would've originally cost over $50, so I saved 87% by purchasing these items at Office Depot. I actually found some other great deals there as well like $1.00 pencil pouches, $1.00 filler paper, $1.00 3-ring binders, so I was able to cross more than half of my school supply list off with this one stop.
Target was my next stop, where I found 6 pack Elmer's Glue Sticks for $.99, 24 ct. pencils for $1.00, 3 pack highlighters for just $.99 each and kids scissors for just $.99.
I was able to get all my kids school supplies across these two stores for just $73 for 3 kids, which is just $24 per child for supplies (not including back packs). The deals are out there, you just have to know where the deals are and be willing to make two stops.
Compare Prices before you buy to be sure you are getting the best value
Use the free uGrocery app before you shop to see the best deals on all office and school supplies across local stores before you shop. There is an Office and School Supplies Category in the app that displays all the active sales and deals across Target, Walmart, King Soopers and Safeway and then add those deals to create your list in the app so you know the best place to shop. You can either shop the cheapest store for your whole list, or if you choose to split your list, shop at 2 stores for the most savings.
You can also use the app to compare prices while in a store to confirm you are getting the best deal. Simply scan the product barcode of name brand items and instantly see the prices across local stores.
Use Digital Coupons and Buy Store Brands to Save Even More
King Soopers and Target have digital coupons available in their apps on school supplies that can be stacked on top of in-store sales. The Target Cartwheel app/site has a ton of coupons on pens, highlighters, markers, and even 25% off on backpacks.
Check out the offers before you go into a store, so that you know exactly what brand of item and how many you need to get the extra savings from the digital coupons. Many of the offers are for store brands, which are most often cheaper than the name brands, and the kids will never know the difference between a store brand notebook or eraser and a name brand equivalent.
Shop Off-Peak Hours and Leave the Kids at Home
When shopping for school supplies specifically, I say leave the kids at home. This comes after years of experience in back to school shopping. My kids are now in 6th grade, 3rd grade and Kindergarten. While you may think it will be faster to have your helpers collect the items from the list, you will quickly break your budget with all the non-essentials that end up in your cart. You have a list, and most lists are very specific about colors of folders they need. This way you are making a non-emotional purchase decision based on the list, so stick to the list and you will save the most.
Shop the stores early and avoid peak shopping hours as you will be contending with 100 other hurried parents and kids trying to cross items off their list. This saves your sanity.
Of course you will bring your kids with you when you are shopping for backpacks, lunch boxes, shoes and clothes. This way they are part of the "Back to School Shopping" experience and can contribute their opinions in a more meaningful way.
Shop Online
If you are too busy to physically shop 2 stores to take advantage of the deals, then get the deals online and take advantage of free shipping while you're at it. I compared the online shopping experience at Target, Walmart, Staples, Office Depot and Amazon, and Target was hands down the easiest user experience for getting all your school supplies in one place.
They even have a feature that allows you download your school list by grade and add the items to your cart with the click of a few buttons! Simply enter your zip code, find your school and grade and the list comes up with the items pre-populted in your cart! Talk about easy. While this is a super cool feature, the best deals did not show up on my auto-generated list, so it's better to search for each item and add to your cart based on the sales to maximize your savings. You can see it populated the washable crayons that are $1.99, whereas the regular Crayola crayons are on sale for $.50. Target offers free shipping for Red Card members, and you can save an extra 5% on your total purchase when you use your Target Red Card.
Back to school shopping can be costly and stressful. Follow these tips help you to have an easier experience when buying your children's school supplies this year.

Many people hesitate to apply for Social Security Disability (SSD) and Supplemental Security Income benefits (SSI) because they believe certain misconceptions about the process.
Read below to learn more about these misconceptions.
This is not necessarily true, as you can file for disability benefits while you are working. However, your gross earned income must be below a certain amount. There is a maximum amount you can earn and still qualify for SSD. If you have ceased working, do not hesitate
in filing for disability. Your savings will become depleted as time goes on, putting financial
strain on you and your family.
Give your case the boost it needs! You'll have a
medical-knowledgeable attorney who has litigated over 2000 cases.

It is true that many claims are denied upon initial application...but this is not always true. We recommend working with our experienced staff, which will deal with the government directly and give you the BEST chance of not being denied.
Unfortunately, this one is not true. Whatever disease or condition you are dealing with,
it's the information that your health care provider submits that determines whether
or not you'll be eligible for SSD. All information must be completed and accurate to
get these benefits.
Age is nothing but a number in this situation. If you have a work history to reference and
a debilitating disability, you should be deemed eligible for benefits.
Attorneys are not legally required, but advocates are strongly recommended.

text: Madison Collins Madison Collins is a middle school student who attends Ohio Connections Academy (OCA). When she was in elementary school, she attended a traditional public school that she loved; she enjoyed the classes and did very well thanks to her teachers, who kept her challenged. Madison's mother, Kristy, also liked the school and appreciated how engaged the families were and the community feeling that created. Unfortunately, when Madison entered the fifth grade and moved to her middle school, everything changed. The school was significantly larger, and there were a lot more kids and a lot more distractions in the classroom. Madison also felt unchallenged and found the pace of teaching to be considerably slower. Madison wanted a school environment where she would be challenged academically and feel safer, and her parents wanted the opportunity to be involved in her education. In August, Madison enrolled in Ohio Connections Academy. According to Kristy, Madison's transition to the online platform was relatively easy. At first there were some time management issues to work out, but Madison's father, a retired police officer, is her Learning Coach, and he worked closely with the teachers to keep her motivated. After only a few months, Madison believes she is more challenged than she has ever been before and is learning more than she ever has. The schedule flexibility also enables her to volunteer in the community and work with younger children. Given that both her parents have worked in public safety, Madison has always had a passion for helping to keep children safe. Since the time she was seven years old, Madison has volunteered for the Greater Hamilton Safety Council to support its Safety Town program. Each summer Madison helps teach children all aspects of safety, including pedestrian and traffic safety, fire prevention, and poison/substance avoidance, among other things. Madison's service to her community was recently recognized by Ohio Connections Academy, and she was presented a Prudential Spirit of Community Certificate of Achievement as one of the school's volunteers of the year.

Niet Normaal: Difference of Display – Reviewed
Amy Jones reviews Niet Normaal: Difference on Display, an exhibition provoking the question: 'What is normal anyway?'
Last Thursday DaDaFest 2012 launched and with it a thought-provoking new exhibition at the Bluecoat; Niet Normaal: Difference on Display. The exhibition first materialised in Amsterdam as a huge, almost Biennial-size show including ninety artists and more than one hundred different pieces. Scaled down in its Liverpool incarnation and with a unique focus on language, the exhibition is not so much interrogating issues surrounding difference, but 'Normalcy'.
Curator Ine Gevers explained how the theme of 'normal' operates within the show. "It's about what is normal and who decides … basically, it's about how we construct society. The whole word normal only came to exist in the 19th century and there is no such thing as normality. On the one hand everybody is different so how do we construct this 'normalcy' how do we do that?"
According to the exhibition, 'normalcy', is constructed through the various institutions that govern our daily lives which we often mistakenly view as objective. These institutions, Language, Science and Technology are positioned in the show as the filters we use to perceive the world. Gevers has selected a unique combination of works, highlighting the role of language in our perception and experience of 'Normal'."The whole angle I chose was language in terms of how it limits us. 'Language as a prison cell',is a famous remark by Ludwig Wittgenstein, and language as … the only way to set us free. Language, as soon as you can play with it, can become more imaginative, more poetic."
One of the first works you encounter is Javier Tellez' film Caligari and the Sleepwalker, 2008. This beautiful, stylish, black and white video is based on Robert Weine's famous expressionist film Kabinet des Dr Caligari, one of the first films to be recorded inside a real functioning asylum. Where Weine's film used actors to play patients, Tellez turns this around by using psychiatric patients as actors. The result is a blurring of the boundaries between fiction and reality, the rational and madness. In the film's opening sequence we see a lone figure delivering a piece to camera. The monologue contains the phrase "When my speech is over everything will be played out here". This remark sets the pace for an exhibition that is encouraging us to ask questions and allow our thoughts to take shape and unfold outside of our typical systems of perception.
These ideas are reinforced by Ben Cove's work Untitled, 2006, in the second gallery space. On first impression the piece appears to be letters which have tumbled from their 'rightful place', into a pile at the bottom of the wall. After some consideration, you realise these letters are not as jumbled as they first appear and are legible, barely, as the phrase 'Everything is Going to Be Alright'. Cove's work often explores our desire to create utopia, and this theme is prevalent here. Visually the work provokes associations with commercial graphics and we expect to see the letters neatly aligned, easy to read and easy to understand. Cove makes us work harder to discover meaning, and in the process we question why it is, that these familiar symbols can easily become so alien. As a viewer you become acutely aware of the process you are undertaking, neatly placing each letter into the rules of language in order to make sense of it.
This playful undermining of systems and institutions that perpetuate many of societies' most sinister preconceptions is prominent in the show, and several of the artists use playfulness to draw attention to the serious social and politcal issues that are dealt with in the exhibition. This is especially true in Floris Kaayck's work Metalosis Maligna, 2006. As you walk down the cloister-like space that connects the galleries you come across a plasma screen showing a medical documentary. The documentary is the kind that we're all too familiar with. The type that's secretly your guilty pleasure mid-week on Channel 5. Such frequent exposure means we are slightly numb to the graphic images of operations and the horrifying fact that this man's technological implant is growing in his body like a cancer. In fact, the most shocking thing about the video is that it is not a documentary at all, but a complete work of fiction from Kaayck. Our faith and reliance on technology, science and language as ways of understanding the world are simultaneously questioned and brutally undermined, as you realise the work is playing on a format that we are all too accepting of.
When you reach the upstairs gallery, just as in Kaaycks work, technology and the body meet head on. You are confronted by a series of strange objects. Oversized crutches sit in the corner of the room, Koert van Mensvoort's , Next Nature Baby, 2008, depicting a foetus holding a mobile phone, sits on another wall, creating a space that feels surreal and otherworldly. On the other side of the room sit Karin Sander's work Body Scans, 2009. The piece is made up of hundreds of tiny figures created by using 3D body scans of attendees of the Niet Normaal exhibition in Amsterdam. The figures represent the different demographics that attended the exhibition spanning a variety of ages, abilities and nationalities.
It is as you approach the mass of figures, that you begin to categorize and dissect in order to process the work. Just as you begin to divide people into their various pigeon-holes, the rest of the exhibition catches up with you. The work perfectly draws your attention to those filters that have been undermined throughout the show, your trust in the visual, in language, in the technology that created the work, is thrown again into question. With the process of 3D body scanning now being so sophisticated that Sander's own hand hardly needed to intervene when making it, we, the viewer, become central in a piece that is all about our participation. The culmination of the show with this piece works brilliantly, highlighting exactly how these institutions are working within us and around us.
Art is often viewed as a highly subjective form of representation. Within the context of Niet Normaal, art acts in the opposite way, probing at methods and modes of perception in order to highlight how 'normal' is constructed and reinforced by us all everyday. Difference in the exhibition is used as a tool to throw back our gaze and ask us to assess what 'Difference' is different to. Normal is being reviewed, laughed at and picked apart to be reformulated as something else, not so it can be cast aside altogether, but so 'normal' can become something much more inclusive.

Meet Your Photographer - Brian Anthony
I grew up on Long Island, in New York. That was where I met my beautiful wife, Anna, in High School and we've never looked back. That was where we adopted the first addition to our wonderful family, our Boston Terrier, Steve. That was also where we had our two wonderful boys, who are by far my most challenging photography subjects to date!
Growing up, I found myself loving to problem solve and create, pursuing different hobbies that let me grow and challenge myself throughout my life. I originally attended college in Rochester, NY for engineering. This appeared to be the best path for me and my love of learning how things worked. It was at this time though, that I discovered photography and realized this was what I truly loved doing. I always found it amusing how I was pursuing a path based on structure and rules, and found so much fulfillment in a path based on art and creativity. I started working in a studio that gave me the foundation for the lifelong education I constantly pursue. Taking instruction and teaching from so many very talented professional photographers, as well as taking college classes and professional seminars lead me to become the photographer I am today. I have since photographed more than 800 weddings and hundreds of other events, as well as many portrait sessions for friends and families of clients I have worked with.
After experiencing so much of life in New York, my wife and I decided we were ready for a change. We decided to move our family to Greensboro, North Carolina and start something new. I hope to continue to enjoy my family, my love of cooking, biking, and exploring and photographing this beautiful part of the country. I look forward to the new opportunities to capture life's priceless moments for many years to come.

Forget Chromatography! Comprehensive, Instant Analysis with SIFT-MS
Recorded: September 15, 2016
SIFT-MS represents a revolutionary advance in continuous, comprehensive, and economical gas and headspace analysis. Ingenious application of direct, ultrasoft chemical ionization coupled with mass spectrometric detection makes simultaneous and continuous analysis simple for both routine and chromatographically challenging compounds (e.g. ammonia, formaldehyde, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen sulfide).
Direct, broad-spectrum analysis using SIFT-MS provides new opportunities across an extremely wide range of applications. Join us for a webinar where we will describe the benefits of SIFT-MS for:
- High-throughput screening of polymers and packaging, including for formaldehyde residues
- Analysis of chromatographically challenging species in odor applications
- Comprehensive, non-discriminatory aroma analysis of food – in headspace applications or in vivo flavor release
- Simplifying method development
Key Learning Objectives
- Learn the fundamentals of the selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) technique, which delivers high selectivity in the absence of chromatography.
- Discover how direct analysis using SIFT-MS revolutionizes analysis of chromatographically challenging compounds, such as formaldehyde and organosulfur species.
- Learn about the benefits of direct SIFT-MS analysis to various applications, including food, packaging and odor analysis.
Who Should Attend
- All interested in gas and headspace analysis
- Those who need to monitor dynamic processes
- All frustrated by slow sample throughput of traditional gas analysis techniques
- Analysts seeking to eliminate sample preparation (preconcentration, derivatization, drying…)
- Those seeking more cost-effective analysis through broad-spectrum detection and simplicity of operation

Two styles of vaping
The Aspire Tigon tank can be used for mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung vaping by swapping the coils around. Use the 0.4ohm coil for more vapour and a direct-to-lung hit or the 1.2ohm coils for a tighter draw with mouth-to-lung hits. Learn more about mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung vaping here.
Push Fit Coils
One major advantage of the Aspire Aspire Tigon tank is that it comes with push fit coils instead of screw in coils. This means you can simply pull the coil off the bottom and replace it with a new one without having to open the tank and expose the e-liquid. Inside the tank, a spring loaded sleeve seals the wicking holes while the coil is being replaced to eliminate leaking. This allows for a quicker and easier coil changing and cleaning process. The coils are made from high-grade nichrome wire for great flavour.
Fuss-Free Filling
The Tigon comes with a sliding top which reveals a fill port for easy filling. Inside the top is a self-sealing valve to ensure leak free refilling.
Dual Function Airflow Control
The Tigon also comes with very neat dual airflow controls. The mouth-to-lung air controls feature five small airflow holes which allow you to choose between a very tight and restricted vape to a more open one, depending on how many holes you select. Alternative, you can rotate the airflow control further to reveal a slot hole. When this is opened wide it gives the maximum airflow and is suitable for direct-to-lung vaping.
Who's it for?
With the choice of two styles of vaping the Aspire Tigon tank is likely to have a wider appeal than the average vape, and is suitable for both vapers who prefer tight draws and who like decent clouds of vapour. It won't be suitable for people who want huge clouds of vapour, and if that's you you'd be better off looking for a device with a lower resistance range and more power.
High PG Liquids when using the 1.2ohm Mouth-to-Lung coils.
High VG Liquids when using the 0.4ohm Direct-to-Lung coils.
Compatible with most 510 connection mods.
Usage Guidelines
Wattage guidelines
Aspire recommends using the coils at the following wattages:
0.4ohm Direct-to-Lung Coil: 23-28 watts
1.2ohm Mouth-to-Coil: 10-12 watts
Priming the coil
As with all coils, it's important to prime the device before using it for the first time. To do this, simply drip a little e-liquid into the coil before using for the first time. After attaching to the tank and filling, allow the tank to stand for a few minutes before using.

Glenstal Abbey School forms an integral part of the wider community associated with the Benedictine monastery at Glenstal. Staff, students and parents share in much of the life of the community. Many monks work in the school and join the boys for prayer. The school joins the monastic community for the most important event of the week, the Sunday Eucharist. With these fundamental ties the school reflects the values of the Benedictine tradition: the search for God in the company of others, guided by the Rule of St Benedict, under the care of an Abbot.
We believe that the role of the modern Catholic school in the provision of Religious Education is crucial to the development of the young people entrusted to its care. We aim to ensure that Religious Education is not simply an academic subject making up a proportion of the taught curriculum. It should also provide a theological, philosophical and moral encounter with life itself. We also believe that the spiritual atmosphere that pervades the monastery, and which is available in some measure to the students, is unique in Ireland.
Religious Education
Through Religious Education, students should learn to appreciate that life has religious, spiritual and moral dimensions. The Religious Education programme develops their awareness, understanding, knowledge and appreciation of the key Christian teachings about God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; about Jesus Christ, and about the Bible. We seek to develop students' ability to interpret and relate the Bible to personal life and current affairs. We aim to impart knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the growth of Christianity; of its worship, prayer and religious language; and a growing awareness of the meaning of belonging to a Christian tradition.
Fr. Denis Hooper OSB is the School Chaplain. His job is to support the spiritual and religious life of the school and to share in providing pastoral care to students, staff and parents alike. The Chaplain's office is located next to the Health Centre.
The school Chapel is on the lower ground floor of the new school building. The Chapel is called the Sacro Speco ('Sacred Cave'), after the cave of this name near Subiaco in Italy, where Saint Benedict encountered God as a young man at the beginning of his monastic life. The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the tabernacle there as a pledge and guarantee of the real and abiding presence of Christ. This Chapel is available to all students and staff as a place of quietness and peace, prayer and reflection. Mass is celebrated there at least once a week, either at lunchtime or in the evening and other opportunities for shared or guided prayer are offered regularly.
The Chaplain is available to support and listen to any member of the school community about matters of concern, including accompanying students in relation to issues of personal faith development. He coordinates the daily whole-school Assembly and organises other faith-based activities in the school, highlighting the turning of the liturgical year and its relevance for the Christian community.

TIM CAHILL shrugged off the disappointment of missing out on a first professional hat-trick by declaring that Everton's continued improvement is more important than personal glory.
The Australian international was the Blues' star man during yesterday's 3-1 win over Charlton Athletic, scoring twice, rattling the woodwork with a wonderful drive and running miles for the team.
However, he should have headed for home with the match ball but for referee Uriah Rennie mysteriously chalking off a 'goal' late in the game when television replays showed there was nothing obviously wrong.
When asked in the tunnel afterwards, Rennie refused to expand on his decision because he "doesn't talk to the press but thanks for asking" though he did reveal his reasons to a bemused Cahill.
But while the midfielder feels understandably frustrated at missing out on a treble, he took solace from Everton building on their last gasp win against Sunderland on New Year's Eve and is hopeful they can continue to climb the table.
"I'm delighted but the biggest thing now is to try and get some results," said Cahill, who also netted the winner at the Stadium of Light.
"Whoever scores, it doesn't really matter.
"I work hard in every game I play in and to get goals is an added bonus.
"There was a lot of style to our performance whereas at Sunderland, we didn't go to play football. We had to battle.
"We had a chance to play football against Charlton and that's what we did. It's a bit of mixed emotions at the moment about how we got the results, but it doesn't really matter.
"The gaffer asked us to stand up and be counted and we've done that.
"The biggest thing for us was not conceding many and confidence is starting to come back.
"When you concede so many goals as we had in recent games, that's when the wheels can fall off. It's all about working together."
On missing out on the hat-trick, Cahill - who faces his old club Mill-wall in Saturday's FA Cup third round - explained: "Uriah said Fergie (Duncan Ferguson) pulled someone's shirt or something.
"I've seen it on the television since and it (his decision) looks a bit dubious. He had had a good game for a change but everyone makes mistakes."

- Google classified this update as a "broad core algorithm update"
- This happens several times a year
- The first iteration of the Algorithm Update was on July 22nd
- The big changes were on August 1-2nd.
This graphic indicates how Google's algorithm update fluctuated ranking - https://moz.com/blog/googles-august-1st-core-update-week-1.
Update by industry
The update has especially affected YMYL sites (Medical, Health, Fitness, Finance).
What did Google say?
Google used Twitter to announce the changes using the account Google SearchLiaison.
This tweet makes references to another announcement back in March.
Still on Twitter, a lot of relevant conversations started around the topic and what publishers should do in a nutshell. For instance, David Sullivan, a Google official Spokeperson comments on the subject:
Finally, Dan Shure, a SEO Consultant, tweeted that the update is not something new and Google always presented this guidance and are simply now enforcing them.
