Scandal-scarred Albany gears up for final legislative push

Jon Campbell

Since the beginning of April, corruption and sexual harassment scandals have sullied both houses of the New York Legislature, three legislative conferences, more than a handful of lawmakers, two former Senate Democratic leaders and the speaker of the Assembly.

Advocates and state officials are looking to use the troubles to enact a host of reforms and new laws in the final four weeks before the legislation session ends June 20.

The various scandals have become an argument for and against many of the major bills that are lingering at the state Capitol: ranging from a need to bolster the state’s corruption and bribery laws to a 10-point “Women’s Equality Agenda” being pushed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Cuomo said the scandals can result in positive changes, and he has implored lawmakers to support his proposals.

“There’s been bad publicity. You know how you counter bad publicity? Good publicity,” Cuomo told reporters last Monday. “You know how you get good publicity? Do something. Pass bills that help the people of the state of New York. I think if anything that is going to fuel their desire to actually get a lot of this agenda done.”

For example, Cuomo said a pair of reports this month detailing a culture of sexual harassment by now-former Assemblyman Vito Lopez, D-Brooklyn, should help lead to the passage of his women’s agenda. Both reports were also critical of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, who did not refer initial complaints against Lopez to the chamber’s ethics committee for investigation.

Cuomo’s plan includes pieces that would bolster enforcement of workplace sexual harassment, require equal pay for equal work regardless of gender, and increase human trafficking penalties. But it also includes a proposal Cuomo says would codify federal abortion rights in state law, which Republicans have balked at while expressing general support for the other planks in the plan.

Barbara Bartoletti, legislative director for the state League of Women Voters, said the Lopez scandal should spur lawmakers to boost women’s rights. She said women, as the Lopez case showed, still are harassed regularly in the workplace with few effective safeguards in place.

“If Vito Lopez is nothing else, he’s the poster boy for the need to pass a women’s equality agenda,” she said Tuesday.

The state Conservative Party has said the focus at the Capitol has been misguided since the scandals broke. Instead, lawmakers should look at changing the state’s constitution to institute term limits and require that an elected official is stripped of his or her pension if convicted of a felony.

“It is our firm belief that instituting term limits and adopting a constitutional amendment that strips an elected official of their pension when convicted of a felony associated with their official duties will serve the citizens of New York better than any of the proposals currently on the table,” Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long said in a statement.

Assemblyman Phil Palmesano, R-Corning, said the past few scandal-filled weeks have been “discouraging,” but have put pressure on the Legislature to act, particularly when it comes to creating tougher corruption laws.

“There’s a stain on our institution, and the public is discouraged,” Palmesano said. “We need to take steps to restore the public’s trust, so we have to come up with some sort of agreement that’s going to be meaningful.”

There have been no fewer than a dozen anti-corruption plans proposed since Sen. Malcolm Smith, D-Queens, and Assemblyman Eric Stevenson, D-Bronx, were charged in separate bribery plots in the first week of April. The bills include implementing tighter limits on campaign donations; creating a crime for failing to report a bribery attempt; and creating a new office with power to investigate campaign violations.

But no agreements have been reached among Cuomo and legislative leaders.

“I think we all need to redouble our efforts to demonstrate that New York state can have a well-functioning government, and part of that is also making sure that we pass good-government legislation that helps to demonstrate to the people of New York that we’re taking our duties seriously,” said Assemblyman David Buchwald, D-White Plains, who sponsored a bill that would strip convicted public officials of their pensions.

The sides are also debating whether a publicly financed system for campaigns will be part of any reform package.

Both advocates and opponents of public financing — which would match small private donations to political campaigns with public funds, with the idea of emphasizing individuals over big-money donors — think the recent scandals make their case.

“After weeks of arrests and resignations, New Yorkers need to know that their elected officials are ready to work to pass systemic reform in response to the systemic failures of our election laws,” the Fair Elections for New York Campaign, a coalition of labor-backed and progressive groups, wrote in a statement last week. “And we will apply what we’ve learned in recent weeks to the process of drafting a new campaign finance law, with public matching funds at its core, that New Yorkers want and deserve.”

Scott Reif, a spokesman for Senate Republicans, thinks otherwise. Republicans said the scandals show that public money would only aid the corruption.

“Spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on political campaigns won’t accomplish anything other than wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars,” he said Friday. “The people behind public financing don’t want reform, they want to game the system and enrich themselves.”

It’s not just corruption-related issues that will face lawmakers for the remainder of the session, however. The Legislature and Cuomo still have to tackle such tricky topics as legalizing a limited number of non-Indian casinos and a new proposal from Cuomo that would establish “tax-free zones” around State University of New York campuses in an attempt to attract new businesses to the state.

Cuomo has also proposed a statewide board that would be able to recommend individual plans — and potentially distribute additional state aid — to local governments that are struggling with their finances.

A Legislature eager to gain good press will help him push his priorities through, Cuomo said.

“Call me an optimist — I think its going to help us get the agenda done,” he said.

Finding it early

March 21, 2012
Renee Knight
Issue 11

You don’t want to catch it when it’s easy to see. By then, it may be too late. As a dental professional, you need to spot possible problems in the early stages, when treatment is less invasive and chances for survival are higher.

You don’t want to catch it when it’s easy to see. By then, it may be too late. As a dental professional, you need to spot possible problems in the early stages, when treatment is less invasive and chances for survival are higher.

Performing a conventional white light oral cancer screening exam will help you discover potential problems and is something you should do for every patient. The exam itself only takes a few minutes and is easy to incorporate into routine appointments. But, even when you perform a thorough exam, it doesn’t mean you’ll see everything in every patient’s mouth that might be suspect. That’s where adjunctive devices come in. They can help you see what the naked eye might miss with light reflection alone, and catch subtle lesions before they become a threat.

These devices are easy to incorporate into your exam routine; you just have to do it. Depending on what adjunctive system you use, you’ll likely only add a few minutes to the appointment time. That’s not much, and patients appreciate those extra minutes-especially if you catch a problem early enough that something can be done about it.

“When I studied my own practice, I found 10 lesions that were pre-cancerous on the same patient base over one year’s time that I had not found by a conventional white light exam alone,” said Dr. Kevin Huff, who uses the VELscope in his practice of about 950 patients and published the results of his study last year. “So in my mind, direct tissue fluorescence visualization is a very effective adjunct.”

Finding the right tool for your practice

As with any technology, you need to do some research before deciding which device is best for your patients and your practice. Dr. Mark Bride, former VP, Medical Affairs for Zila Pharmaceuticals (maker of ViziLite Plus with TBlue), said the Internet is a great place to start to learn more about these discovery aids and what they offer.

Peer-reviewed articles can be found on the Internet and provide a wealth of information. Talking with manufacturers and actually seeing the products in use at tradeshows also is a great way to compare the different options and determine which one will best fit into your practice. Beyond that, there are some good online courses and dental lectures available that thoroughly cover the pros and cons of all of the adjunctive screening devices.

Every practice is different, so you have to choose a device that you know you and your team members can easily incorporate into the patient exam, said Dr. Andres Zuluaga, VP of R&D at Trimira, the company that makes the Identafi 3000 ultra. If you can’t get out to a show, contact the manufacturer directly and ask for an in-office visit. Make sure you feel comfortable with the manufacturer and that the company offers the necessary training to get you and your staff up to snuff on using your new discovery tool.

Once you make the decision to purchase one of these devices, you next have to determine how you’re going to charge for it, or even if you are going to charge for it, Dr. Huff said. Some doctors charge a flat fee that could range from $40 to $200, while others raise the price of the exam $4 or $5 to cover costs rather than charging an additional fee. The route you go likely will depend on the tool you choose and where your office is located, but if you want patients to agree to the extra screening you have to keep it affordable.

Making sure you use it

It’s easy to buy one of these devices with every intention of using it only for it to end up collecting dust somewhere in the back of the office. But that doesn’t do your patients or your practice any good.

Incorporating these adjunctive exams into your routine is easy. For ViziLite Plus, making sure you put it on the tray before the patient even gets into the office acts as a reminder to do the exam, Dr. Bride said. Don’t look for reasons why you can’t use it.

“It’s just changing the mentality of the practice that there’s one additional step to do,” Dr. Bride said. “And the time it takes (about 90 seconds) isn’t an excuse not to do it.”

Dr. Huff uses his VELscope for every new patient, and his hygienist uses it during every recall visit, working it in to the exam routine immediately after the conventional oral exam. If you know you’re doing the exam regardless of risk factors, which are changing, you and your team members won’t forget it needs to be done. You’ll just do it because it’s part of the normal exam routine. And with HPV 16 now a known cause of oropharyngeal cancer, you can’t limit your screenings to your older patients who smoke and/or drink. Your younger patients are at risk now, too.

Talking to patients about it

While you’ll have some patients who come to your office specifically because they know you have one of these devices, there are others who have no idea what a VELscope or ViziLite does or why they should care. This is where patient education comes in.

Patient brochures in the reception area, educational videos and even posters are great ways to educate your patients about oral cancer and adjunctive devices like the Identafi 3000 ultra, said Jerry Trzeciak, VP of Sales and Marketing at Trimira. When they’re in your chair ready for the screening, take the time to explain to them what you’re doing and why. Let them know this is just a screening aid that helps you see what you can’t see with a conventional exam alone, and that it’s painless and something you offer every patient.

“Educate patients about the disease and about the technology so they look at it as a real opportunity for early detection as opposed to fearing something,” Trzeciak said. “Have your staff use the technology prior to offering it to patients so they can experience the technology themselves. They can then share that experience with confidence and say it is uninvasive, easy to use and patient friendly.”
What to do if you find something

If you find something suspicious during one of these exams, do exactly what you would do if you found it during the conventional screening. First, try to figure out what the cause could be. If you find an ulcer or a lesion on the roof of a patient’s mouth, ask the patient if there’s anything that could have caused the trauma and if he or she knows how long it’s been there. Ask questions and look around the mouth to determine the source and eliminate the possibility that it’s a sign of cancer.

It’s also important to photo document your findings, which is something Dr. Huff said is easy to do with the VELscope with a simple camera attachment and a point-and-shoot camera. This also is the time a suspicious lesion can be marked with Zila’s TBlue, Dr. Bride said.

“No matter what you do, try to avoid scaring your patients. If you find something that’s suspect, avoid using the word cancer,” Dr. Huff said. “Take a closer look at the area and if you can’t rule cancer out, tell the patient you found something that’s irregular or unusual and you’d like to see him or her back in two weeks.”

Making the referral

If the suspicious lesion is still there when the patient returns in two weeks, it’s time for a referral. Sometimes cytology with a brush can be helpful as a tool for patient education or to strengthen your reason for a surgical biopsy, Dr. Huff said.

Remember, making a diagnosis is not your job as a general dentist, but recognizing something abnormal is. Unless you are comfortable performing biopsies yourself, you need to refer the patient to an oral surgeon for biopsy. The tissue sample should then be sent to an oral pathologist to find out exactly what you’re dealing with, said Brian Hill, Executive Director of the Oral Cancer Foundation.

There are a lot of things that can go wrong in a person’s mouth, and while you’re not expected to learn everything about every lesion out there, it is your job to discover abnormalities and refer the patient to someone who can make a diagnosis. You don’t have to know what it is you’re looking at, but you do need to recognize abnormalities. Is it a different color than surrounding tissue? Does it bleed easily when you touch it? Is it hard or raised above the surrounding tissue? All of these are characteristics of lesions that need to be biopsied if they persist.

“Nobody is going to laugh at you if you refer something out that is benign. You need to refer all suspicious and persistent abnormalities,” said Hill, who also is a stage 4 oral cancer survivor. “As a dental patient, I would much rather someone biopsy something they thought was suspect, and later say it turned out to be nothing, than guess, or watch and wait. A biopsy would yield a gold-standard, black-and-white answer. I would have been anxious while waiting for a couple days to get the pathology report, but to hear that it’s nothing serious is a golden moment. That’s better than having someone tell you it doesn’t look like oral cancer, and then do nothing to find out for sure.”

Getting staff involved

No matter which tool you decide to go with, your staff has to be on board, Dr. Bride said. Depending on the statues of each state’s Dental Board, the majority of the time a staff member executes the exam and then alerts the doctor if there’s something suspicious. That’s why team training and education is so important, Trzeciak said. The staff should be educated about the disease state, the risk factors and what can happen if a patient is diagnosed with this disease in a late stage. They have to know how to use the screening tool and why it’s important.

Why early detection matters

Patients diagnosed with oral cancer often have to undergo severe treatments to survive. If they do survive, they often have to go through life without their voice, or the ability to eat solid foods. The realities of this disease can be harsh, and the earlier it can be detected the better the chance of survival and minimal treatment-related complications.

And with news of celebrities like Michael Douglas battling this disease, more and more of your patients are becoming aware of oral cancer and what it can do. They’re asking for thorough screenings and often are appreciative when a clinician or hygienist takes the time to perform an extra exam that may end up saving their life.

Whichever adjunct you choose, incorporating it into practice is easy. Make a spot for it after the conventional exam. You’ll soon discover you’re finding lesions you never would have seen before. While most of these won’t be cancer, the extra effort will be well worth it for the ones that are.

“Dentists are so much more than drill, fill and bill kind of people. As custodians of their patients’ oral health, they should be involved in everything that goes on in a patient’s mouth,” Hill said. “Oral cancer is only one. But it’s probably the only one that’s going to take a life.”

Google is Working on Guest Mode for Assistant and First Party App Critical Alerts

The month of October has been set aside for raising awareness about the problems that are facing user security and privacy on the internet as well as basically any digital medium out there, and this means that Google will be taking advantage of this to try and repair the reputation that it has ended up getting with regards to the kind of security as well as privacy that it offers to the average user all in all at the end of the day.

With all of that having been said and out of the way, it is important to note that there are two new things that are being rolled out pretty soon that are going to help you feel more secure on the internet. The first of these two happen to be critical security alerts being shown in all first party apps that Google currently has to offer at this point in time. Your profile icon would get a red ring around it as well as an exclamation mark if some kind of a threat is detected, and Google is clearly hoping that this would encourage users to end up taking these things a lot more seriously than might have been the case otherwise.

Another feature that Google is working on has to do with Google Assistant. Sometimes you want to make it so that whatever you are saying to your Assistant is not going to end up being recorded in any way, shape or form, and the new guest mode that will probably be coming soon is going to help with that. This guest mode is a lot like incognito mode in Google Chrome, and it has the potential to give users a lot more privacy as well as control over how their data is saved and used.

Is exceeding the bandwidth limit really that much of a concern, given that (i) you don't get charged for incoming traffic nor with (ii) bandwidth b/w servers via private networking? If so, you could create a script to shutdown your droplet once a specified level of outbound traffic is reached.

Guinea Bissau – presidential election (24 Apr. 20)

France and Guinea-Bissau

Political relations

Ms Maria Adiatu Djaló Nandingna, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and the Diaspora, visited France in May 2009 and met with the Minister of State for Cooperation and Francophonie, Mr Alain Joyandet.

In liaison with the African Union, France invited the Foreign Minister of Guinea-Bissau, Mr Fernando Delfim da Silva, to the Élysée Summit for Peace and Security in Africa, held in Paris on 6 and 7 December 2013.

Since September 2015, the French Embassy has been a very lightweight diplomatic presence post.

Economic relations

The volume of trade is very low. In 2018, French exports to Guinea-Bissau represented €3.3 million (down 2.94 % year-on-year) and essentially concerned mechanical, electronic and computer equipment (58%), agrifood products (18%) and metallurgical and metal products (9%). French imports from Guinea-Bissau contracted in 2018, representing only €0.1 million (down 96.15% year-on-year), made up essentially of tree and bush fruits and nuts (91%).

France has a limited economic presence in Guinea-Bissau, represented by Orange, a few small-scale subsidiaries of AGS, CFAO and Delmas, and Vinci and Eiffage for contracts with the Gambia River Basin Development Organization (OMVG), as well as hospitality businesses in the Bissagos Islands.

Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation

France’s action focuses on two areas: teaching of French and health.

The France-Guinea-Bissau Cultural Centre opened in March 2004 and is today a renowned cultural venue in Bissau, catering for the demand for French teaching to foster the Guinea-Bissau’s regional integration. French teaching is provided for several hundred people in strategic sectors (Prime Minister’s Office, Foreign, Justice and Finance Ministries, National School of Public Administration, etc.). Teaching for the general public is seeing promising growth.

France is the second-largest contributor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (about 12.5% of total contributions) and the leading contributor to its activities in Guinea-Bissau.

They allow you to change the color of your car, protect the factory finish, and peel off the dip to go back to the original color without any previous painting experience. The colors are a clean, matte finish and easy to spray. Perfect for larger scale Do-It-Yourself projects where the aerosol is simply not adequate. Use DYC's gallons to control the look of your vehicle and change the color yourself!

Matte DipPearl TopCoat was designed to be the optimal clear medium for pearls when the perfect Matte finish is desired. Excellent at suspending pearls and flakes while maintaining an surprising level of clarity. This product was designed to easily produce a beautiful Matte sheen without losing the saturation and sparkle of your metallic powders. DipPearl TopCoat responds extremely well to DipCoat Protective Spray, which is highly recommended for every vehicle sprayed with this coating. If you wish to dip your whole car, please consider one of our all inclusive Pro Car Kits to do the job.

Choosing your sprayer:

Plasti Dip gallons are designed to be sprayed through turbine systems such as the DYC DipSprayer or Advanced DipSprayer they are traditionally too thick to be sprayed through an HVLP. HVLP may produce dry spray and can ruin the finish. If you wish to use HVLP, please spray the ProLine gallons, as they were designed for HVLP spray systems.

Plasti Dip protects dipped surfaces from acids, abrasion, corrosion, impact, salts, moisture and weathering. It remains flexible, stretchy and will not crack, or become brittle in extreme temperatures when applied correctly.

Clean each surface with PreDip Spray to remove any dirt, debris, oils, waxes, grease, or loose rust, then let dry completely before spraying Plasti Dip. Coat each dipped surface with DipCoat Protective Spray 4 hours after dip has dried for best results. Temperature guidelines: Ideal temps for application range from 30F - 95F. The colder the temps, the longer the dry times between coats.

Test all applications in a small inconspicuous area to make sure it will meet your expectations and is suitable for each unique surface. Although Plasti Dip has proven to be safe and predictable, every surface is unique and it's impossible to predict how each surface will react.

Piraeus Guide

The Greek city and port of Piraeus is one of the largest ports in the whole of the Mediterranean, and the third largest in the world, and has become a major hub for the ferry network that spans the Aegean Sea. Piraeus is an important city in its own right despite the fact that it is frequently considered to be a suburb of Athens, the Greek capital, which is only a very short distance away. Despite its proximity to Athens, Piraeus' waterfront has its own distinct appearance and visitors will see that the most appealing parts of the city are located around its eastern quarter, alongside both Mikrolimano Harbour and Zea Marina. A popular event in Piraeus is the Ecocinema International Film Festival which is held annually in late February and is where a number of films are screened at the Atticon Cinema and the Cineac Cinema, which are both located in the city's Town Hall Square.

Full of restaurants, bars and nightclubs, the waterfront district was greatly redeveloped in time for the Athens Olympics and as a result a new harbour front promenade was created that is lined with trees and passes the medieval city walls. The walls serve as a reminder and as an insight into the city's rich past.

Can I cut a fire door down by 70mm

Postby winky » Mon Mar 29, 2010 2:34 pm

Hello eveyone,

I am struggling to figure out what to do about a firedoor.

I am upgrading to an FD30 door, however, the frame is only 1915mm tall, and I have a door which is 1981mm tall, and the instructions say you must not trim more than 3mm from the top edge and 5mm from the bottom.

I have looked for smaller doors, but cannot find any.

I would be very grateful if someone can advise me whether there is somewhere I can buy a shorter door, or whether building control will likely be OK with me cutting the door down by 70mm.

It's a 4 panel moulded firee door by the way.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Muted Metallic Makeover

Alison takes on this choppy and dated kitchen with a brand new layout. By removing a window and making a second window shorter, she's able to move the sink, flip the fridge location and create a focal wall with a range and hood that makes all the difference. Once the layout is locked down, navy and white cabinetry give the space a new shape and a butcher block island top, muted metallic backsplash and stainless steel appliances give it style.

Effectively and strategically prosecuting patents is critical to business, especially for innovative companies. Success may depend on protecting unique technology and revenue streams, while at the same time advancing patents to increase the likelihood they would successfully survive litigation in the future. Our patent lawyers, working with a network of firms around the world, regularly handle patent prosecution for clients on five different continents, including major global corporations, emerging companies and innovative institutions such as manufacturers, service providers, universities and other law firms.

Patent Prosecution

DLA Piper has extensive experience in global patent application drafting and prosecution as well as patent litigation and licensing around the world. We regularly help clients navigate the constantly shifting legal landscape, such as the reforms implemented by the America Invents Act (AIA).

We focus on strategic prosecution – the art of obtaining truly significant and enforceable claims issued at the least expense. Our services don’t end, though, with the issuance of a patent. We can support you in the variety of increasingly important post-issuance proceedings available to patentees such as inter partes reviews (IPRs) and post-grant reviews (PGRs). We also coordinate closely with our patent litigation group in developing and executing both offensive and defensive strategies in the USPTO, District Courts and ITC. Our US patent lawyers are registered with the USPTO, and many possess advanced scientific degrees while others have significant industry experience. DLA Piper has deep, long relationships with a network of firms around the world with whom we coordinate strategy, filings and prosecution.

Strategic Patent Counseling

As intellectual property becomes increasingly vital to innovative businesses, progressive companies and research institutions are beginning to take a strategic look at their IP portfolios to identify where they have strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for additional revenue. Engaging experienced counsel on strategic patent portfolio analysis has become essential to clients who want to maximize their revenue-generating opportunities.

Our highly experienced patent lawyers counsel clients ranging from emerging companies to Fortune 100 companies on how to maximize their business returns by creating and managing their patent portfolios. Many companies have identified significant untapped value and new sources of additional revenue streams. Others have identified their IP assets as growth drivers and potential cornerstones to mergers and acquisitions. As part of our counseling activities, we regularly advise on patentability, validity and freedom to operate issues, provide opinions, conduct due diligence and address other issues connected with corporate mergers and acquisitions, and handle litigation support, as representative examples. Our patent lawyers have detailed knowledge of a wide array of complex technologies – from semiconductors to stem cells -  to help you make the most of your IP assets.

Danish design duo Helena Christensen and Camilla Staerk collaborate with artists who inspire them for ‘In My Dream Last Night…,’ a short film and sound concept premiering exclusively on Document.

Helena Christensen and Camilla Staerk, the supermodel/designer duo behind Danish design studio Staerk&Christensen, operate less like business partners and more like soulmates. With no strictly defined roles and an instinctive, almost subconscious approach to ideas, mid-century modernist values are imbued with gothic mythicism and the ghosts of Old Hollywood glamor, fragmented with personal memories. (On the studio’s website, next to timeless peep-toe heels and subtly oversized eyewear, is a Pawn Shop filled with curated vintage and curiosities.)

The duo’s latest project is an ongoing short film and sound concept in the same spirit that defines Staerk&Christensen’s incorporeal ethos. Titled In My Dream Last Night…, the project is a collaboration with a slowly expanding circle of the artists who most inspire them, the first part spanning six singular films with equally arresting soundtracks. Each surreal, black-and-white vignette explores dualities of darkness and lightness within the confines of the mind—and the muses that penetrate our deepest subconscious thoughts. One film stars David Lynch muse Chrysta Bell spliced with clips of Christensen and Staerk, creating a phantasmagorical swirl of muses, the soundtrack a song written and produced by Lynch for Bell’s 2016 EP. Another film, simply titled Sean, shows actor Sean Penn hunched over a typewriter chain-smoking, finally looking up to see Christensen appear as an apparition outside his window. In Salman’s Dream, a boyhood memory is narrated by an older man, later revealed to be acclaimed novelist Salman Rushdie. Further collaborators include Waris Ahluwalia, Sebastian Sartor, and music duo Trentemøller/Fritze. Watch the first five films woven into one dreamscape below.

In My Dream Last Night… is presented and executed in partnership with Velem and Milk. The series will premiere April 25 at The National Arts Club in New York.

Doka Best Austrian Company in the GCC

20.12.2012 | Press
December 11, 2012, Dubai, UAE – During an annual gala event organized by the Austrian Trade Commission for the GCC, Doka, the formwork technology leader in the construction industry, was named winner of the “Best Austrian Company in the GCC 2013”.
The esteemed award, which receives applications from numerous companies, aims to highlight a corporate leader in contributing “Operational Excellence” and hence expanding growth of the bilateral relations between Austria and the GCC. Scrutiny and selection of the recipient is managed by the Austrian Trade Commissioner for the GCC and an independent advisory board from the Austrian Business Council.

Mr. Peter Vogel, Director Doka Group Middle East was present to receive the award, as well as senior Doka management from the region. Expressing his appreciation, he said, “Doka Middle East region is a robust operation whose growth has increased ten-fold over the past decade. Our ME roots date back to the 1970's, with today thousands of completed projects in the highrise, commercial, residential building and civil engineering sectors. Our secret to success was sharpening our competitive edge [as we served the region], ensuring the best formwork technology and engineering are provided to the construction market. With our specialized expertise we will continue to be a leader in the construction sector.”

Closing the presentation, Doka thanked the Austrian Trade Commission for its proactive support throughout, and Peter Vogel reiterated the companies commitment as a corporate member of the Austrian Business Council to propagate Austrian commercial interests in the region.

Amoral Imperative

Instagram photo by Nona Summers.
Instagram photo by Nona Summers.

He wounds the autumnal nation. A corroded knife, plunged and twisted into the very belly of our Republic, leaving us hemorrhaging from our core, pushing to the front the very worst of what We the People represent.

Donald John Trump has given us a mirror, and what we see in it isn’t remotely pretty.

And amidst the writhing and the screams of the agony inflicted, the casualties are our dignity and our honor and our pride; along with truth, justice, and the American way, all of which he has made a mockery of in the very worst ways imaginable.

Trump has defined himself as a narcissistic, ignorant, bigoted, racist, misogynistic, unethical and insecure bully, whose life has been spent figuring out ways to rip off and steal from people who he views as being stupider and weaker than he is. He will go on trial in November accused of racketeering. (The civil suit that was to go to trial in December for Trump allegedly raping a  13 year old was dismissed last week… see: Trump child rape accuser dismisses own lawsuit after saying she is ‘living in fear’.) He has used his foundation’s money to pay his legal fees, abused the family of a war hero, and refused to release his tax returns. He has bragged about his sexual assault of women. His legacy is one of corruption and con-artistry, of fraudulent businesses and of failure to pay his contractors for the work he hired them to do. (See: Trump’s history of corruption is mind-boggling. So why is Clinton supposedly the corrupt one?)

The day after Brexit passed in the UK, 2.5 trillion dollars was wiped off the value of world markets. (See: Brexit turmoil deepens: Dow down nearly 900 points in 2 days.) In the unlikely event that Trump should win the election next Tuesday, the repercussions come next Wednesday morning will surely be swift and immediate as the dominoes come crashing down: the 900 point fall in the Dow Jones Industrial Averages that happened in the two days following the Brexit vote will likely look like child’s play. The repercussions will be dramatically felt in the 401k plans and IRAs even of individuals across America who don’t otherwise invest in the stock market. (See also: President Trump’s First Term for a rather chilling and realistic vision of what would follow next.)

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
–Isaac Asimov, Newsweek, 1980

As the dominoes fall, the repercussions are many even if Trump should lose, and they are both severe and humbling. This election has shown us:

1) That a sizable portion (nearly a majority) of our nation prefers Trump’s vision of a neo-fascist state that forces a religious, ideological and moral perspective upon others, rather than a democratic state that does not (See: The rise of American authoritarianism and Thanks to Trump, We Can Better Understand How Hitler Was Possible);

2) Confirmation that a cult of ignorance and anti-intellectualism not only continues to exist, but actually thrives in our country. It is centered on the belief that it is okay to make up a world view on a daily basis that has no actual correlation to the way the world truly is and exists… that ignorance is just as good as knowledge as long as one can find legions of people to applaud us for saying things that they so deeply want to hear and believe, no matter how much it disregards the reality of the world we live in.

3) The realization that ISIL, and their related terrorist brethren, are in many ways winning their war of terror without needing to ever win a military victory on our soil. They are doing it by slowly turning us into a version of so very much of what they represent. Their method is to create fear and chaos that pushes us towards a society where our liberties are gone. The world vision that Trump promotes is one that fills our streets with people with guns, that presumes guilt in our judicial system, that believes in torture, that treats women and minorities with contempt, that denies due process, that eliminates first amendment rights, that blatantly seeks to erode the checks and balances of our political system centered on a separation of powers, and that does everything possible to erase confidence and belief in the concept of having free and fair elections. Doing such things under the guise of a Judeo-Christian fundamentalist value system rather than Islamic fundamentalist value system makes it no more tolerable or right.

It is easy to blame this all on Trump. He is classically symptomatic of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (See: The Mayo Clinic – Narcissistic personality disorder), as well as exhibiting virtually all of the aberrant traits I outlined in my earlier The Domino Principle article about individuals who act in a psychologically abusive manner (See: The Destructive Dominoes of Domestic Abuse). But this isn’t Trump’s fault. He is just a disturbed bully with a pulpit to speak upon. Trump is a symptom, not a cause. The problem is us. A society that has embraced the sickness that he spews and gives it credibility (See: The Dangerous Acceptance of Donald Trump).

There is no question that Hillary Clinton is a deeply flawed candidate… just for starters, questions about her email server and the possible encouragement of donations to the Clinton Foundation in return for personal access while secretary of state are troubling indeed. But even assuming the worst of the allegations prove to be true (the evidence available, so far, is more than convincing of bad judgement, while less than convincing of true criminal conduct), it doesn’t put her in even remotely close to the same category of horrific that Trump occupies. And that so much of the American populace cannot see this is terribly troubling.

They are our friends and they are our neighbors. Francis Wilkinson lays the perplexing contractions out well in her article The Moral Foundations of Trumpism:

“Tens of millions of Trump supporters consider themselves not only patriotic Americans but moral human beings, and most of their neighbors and families would no doubt concur. It’s a conundrum — good, decent people supporting a moral delinquent who subverts many of their most basic values. At the same time, many Trump supporters rage against a competent, unpopular, political operator whose most prominent flaws, including hiding her official e-mails, would not make a Trump top-10 list. They believe Hillary Clinton is an affront to their morality.”

“Win or lose, Trump will receive tens of millions of votes next Tuesday. His tally will be analyzed for its political content. But it will also represent the latest push in moral relativism sweeping conservative America and, as Shiller perceived, threatening vital American institutions.

“Once a system has become sufficiently elastic to accommodate, rationalize and even champion a Trump, there’s no telling where the boundaries move next.”

Logical fallacies are styles of argument commonly used  in convincing people, where the focus is on communication and results rather than the correctness of the logic, and may be used whether the point being advanced is correct or not. (See: Wikipedia – List of fallacies.) Trump’s rhetoric is a pandora’s box of logical fallacies. When the media tries to compare him to Clinton, the logical fallacy most often employed is one called false equivalence, and it is well illustrated in this video:

As Seth Meyers recently stated… “Do you pick someone who is under federal investigation for using a private email server, or do you pick someone who has called Mexicans rapists, claimed the president was born in Kenya, proposed banning an entire religion from entering the U.S., mocked a disabled reporter, said John McCain wasn’t a war hero because he was captured, attacked the parents of a fallen war hero, bragged about committing sexual assault, was accused by 12 women of committing sexual assault, said some of those women weren’t attractive enough for him to sexually assault, said more countries should get nukes, said he would force the military to commit war crimes, said a judge was biased because his parents were Mexican, said women should be punished for having abortions, incited violence at his rallies, called global warming a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese, called for his opponent to be jailed, declared bankruptcy six times, bragged about not paying income taxes, stiffed his contractors and employees, lost a billion dollars in one year, scammed customers with his fake university, bought a 6-foot painting of himself with money from his fake foundation, has a trial for fraud coming up in November, insulted an opponent’s looks, insulted an opponent’s wife’s looks, and, bragged about grabbing women by the pu**y.”

Sam Harris (co-founder and chief executive of Project Reason, a non-profit organization that promotes science and secularism, and author of the Waking Up with Sam Harris Podcast) states eloquently (excerpted from: Trump in Exile and Sam Harris on Trump…):

While Trump’s attitude toward women should be disqualifying, it is among his least frightening traits when it comes to assuming the responsibilities of the presidency. His fondness for Vladimir Putin, the whimsy with which he has entertained the first use of nuclear weapons, his disregard for our NATO alliances, his promise to use federal regulators to harass his critics, his belief that climate change is a hoax, his recommendation that we kill the families of terrorists, his suggestion that America might want to default on its debt—any one of these sentiments should have ended Trump’s bid for public office within the hour. In fact, Donald Trump is so unfit for the presidency that he has done great harm to our society by merely campaigning for it. The harm he could do from the White House can scarcely be imagined.

But hatred for both Clintons is now so blinding as to render Trump’s far more dangerous flaws imperceptible to millions of Americans. This is deeply disconcerting. Ask yourself, How would Trump appear if he were a malicious bully? The answer: Exactly as he does now. The man lies about everything, and yet he can’t even pretend to be a good person for five minutes at a stretch. How would Trump sound if he knew nothing about world affairs? One need only hear him speak to know. The truth is that Trump couldn’t have displayed his flaws more clearly during this campaign had his goal been to humiliate himself. And yet this hasn’t mattered to nearly half the electorate.

As many others have noted, there was a point in the second presidential debate when Trump’s campaign ceased to be a depressing farce and became the terrifying, national disgrace we now see before us. The crucial moment wasn’t when Trump threatened to imprison Clinton if he wins in November—it was the shriek of joy this threat produced in half the audience. That was the sound of our democracy unraveling. And there was Trump, the crazed man-child tearing at the threads.

If there is a silver lining here, it is that many of us now see how vulnerable our political system is to charlatanism, conspiracy theories, and populist unreason on both the Right and the Left. The role that the media has played, rendering us all moths to the Trumpian flame, will be scrutinized for years to come. The truth about us is sobering: We have been playing with our smartphones while hurtling toward the abyss…

I’ve been very clear about describing Clinton as the lesser of two evils. There is a ton to say about why she is not a great candidate. I totally understand why some people don’t like her and don’t trust her, but even with all her problems, she will probably be a competent President. In fact, I think she stands the chance of being a good President because she is actually smart and well informed and reasonably concerned about not destroying the world. And that’s true even with all the stupid lies and mistakes trailing behind her. Yes, there is something fairly rapacious and opportunistic about both Clintons. But their vices are mostly aligned with reasonable policies. There are exceptions but I think this is generally true. And, most crucially they are not idiots or ignoramuses.

Those of you who are mystified that I could forgive Clinton her lying and other indiscretions just don’t understand what a dangerous imbecile I think Trump is. I really think he is a child in a man’s body. He is a malignantly selfish, ignorant and petty person… and a tyrant in the making in so far as our system could accommodate a tyrant.

Then I get questions like this: Why is it logical to support a morally corrupt and criminal individual when you could choose to support none of the candidates? Because the prospect of a Clinton Presidency even granting all of the slander about her… and some of it is just slander, isn’t terrifying. Maybe depressing, but isn’t terrifying…

I would vote for Hillary if she were on life support. I would vote for her if I knew she would die in office the first week. President Tim Kaine is far preferable to President Trump. I’ll tell you how bad I think this is. If you gave me a choice to pick a random citizen, or take Trump, I would roll the dice with random citizen. You realize how bad that could turn out? You realize how many people in this country shouldn’t be President? I would go for door number 2. Because at a minimum I would expect a randomly chosen unqualified citizen to be so terrified and awed by the responsibility being thrust upon his or her shoulders that they would be desperate to defer to real experts. Trump has the opposite attitude. His lack of qualifications is married to an egocentrism the likes of which we have never seen.

Subscribing to the notion that one should support Trump based on a particular fiscal, ideological or policy perspective, and because our next president will fill supreme court vacancies, seems an exercise in folly. Trump has historically represented neither a conservative or a liberal agenda nor any particular ideological perspective other than doing what is best for Trump personally, and without regard for the consequences of his actions upon others. We know for certain he would not consider a Hispanic or Muslim qualified to sit on a Supreme Court that will rule on his actions. Given his history, my expectation will be that any Supreme Court candidate choice will be driven primarily by his desire to put in place justices who will support erosion of the separation of powers within our political system.

“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”
–Origin uncertain, but usually attributed to Edmond Burke

And as tempting as it might be to either not vote at all or to support a third party candidate in this election, given the disdain one might have for both the Democratic and Republican candidates, doing so isn’t really conscientiously viable. As John Oliver so deftly points out in this video clip below, the third party alternatives are truly dreadful themselves. And, given that the third party candidates don’t have any real chance of winning, it would seem negligent to use one’s vote for any other purpose than assuring, in the strongest manner possible, that Trump does not gain office, and to send the strongest possible message that We the People do not embrace the principles for which he stands.

The absurdity of the circumstance that we as a nation find ourselves in was well spoofed by Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane in their “The Producers” parody of Trump’s campaign:

Even assuming a Trump loss this Tuesday, the question of how we move forward as a nation in a constructive and healthy way is problematic. A Clinton presidency will be a bright spot in having affirmed our first female Chief Executive, yet she will start her term with little respect and trust from the majority of the populace. And she will likely be encumbered by an utterly dysfunctional Republican-led Senate that sees no obligation to uphold its duty to engage in a confirmation process for Supreme Court Justices.

In his essay “An Open Letter to America’s Young Voters,”  actor and activist George Takei describes optimistic prospects for our youth leading the U.S. to a brighter and more enlightened future, post-Trump. Takei notes:

“You see, I am ever an optimist. A poll taken in August of voters aged 18-34 showed that the vast majority favored Clinton over Trump—64 percent to 29 percent. That split tells me the same thing that the polls for same-sex marriage told us years ago: Over time, reason and fairness will win out, while bigotry and hatred literally would die off. In 20 years, you will all be in charge, and demonstrate far less appetite or patience for Trump’s brand of nativist rhetoric and race baiting. Trump and his supporters understand they are on borrowed time, and while they may seem resurgent today, this in fact could be their last chance to take control. Our country is rapidly moving on from their discredited and archaic worldview. Perhaps that is why the death throes of their campaign are so spectacular. “

I want to believe this. But I’m not entirely sure that I really do. I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, a time in which a younger generation blazed a trail of expanding civil rights against the objections from many of an older generation. And today, more than forty years later, we are clearly a more progressive nation than we were back then, and the younger generation of that day is now the older generation of today. Yet, a culture of ignorance still thrives, and it only takes one disturbed and delusional man with a podium to drag us back into the darkness. Until we as a nation find a way to again place value on education, the scientific method, and the notion that we can’t just make up reality to fit our liking; until we find a meaningful way to bridge the gap between the have’s and the have not’s in our society; and until our spiritual institutions place less emphasis on trusting in divine providence and more emphasis on each person’s personal responsibility to make our world a better place… there will be openings for those who seek to destroy the core values this nation was founded upon.

And For What It’s Worth, I’m left humming the words of Buffalo Springfield:

Review Time! - Eyes of Persuasion by Adrienne Monson

Title: Eyes of Persuasion

Author: Adrienne Monson

Genre: New Adult, Novella, Fantasy, Historical Fiction*, Crime*, Romance (M/F)* - (*ish )

Series: Blood Inheritance (#1.5)

Amazon: UK - USA

A few starting notes:

I received a free digital review copy of this book from the author, Adrienne Monson, via The Review Chain in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Long story considerably shortened - I applied to review a different book of Adrienne Monson's via The Review Chain, and ended up with this one instead.

Just go with it - s'all good ;)

Isabeau Maybrick has a lot of cr*p going on - not only does she have to marry some dude because her douche of an uncle is making her, she also has to make money on the side to pay off said douche-y uncle's gambling debts.

(Yes, before you ask - I've had coffee. Let's do this!)

Oh, and to cap it all off? Isabeau has a magic-y eye power which means she can persuade people to do stuff - but it's more than a little hit-and-miss.

Best bits:

This book is hugely enjoyable.

Like dude, it's readable, indulgent, and fun. Kind of like dessert in book form - too much is probably bad for you, but at this amount, you just have to treat yourself.

(Anyone else hungry for chocolate fudge cake right now? Just me? Ok.)

I like Isabeau - she's quite cool. But Meg, her resourceful maid, is clearly more of a bad-a*s, and I would've liked to see more of her.

The idea of Isabeau's magicky-type eye-power thingy is really intriguing - but I also like the way we didn't get caught up in the detail of it.

I think if we'd had too much of the ins-and-outs, it might've spoiled it a bit - the casual way it's approached somehow makes it feel more realistic.

The whole thing is just... fun... in the way of any swashbuckling entertainment with a side of fantasy, and just a smidge of crime as our intrepid heroine faffs about in boy's clothing as an early type of private investigator.

Not so great bits:

I don't like the name Isabeau - I know that's a v personal thing, but it bugged me for pretty much the whole book.

Also, Isabeau feels a little damsel-in-distress-y more than once. Possibly because she makes stupid decisions. #JudgingYou Isabeau - stop doing stupid sh**, m'k?

Unfortunately, there were places where the writing felt sticky and clunky - like it didn't flow right.

In places, it just felt like the author had gripped the prose too tightly, and that can make it feel awkward.

There's violence, a lot of domestic abuse from Isabeau's uncle, as well as references to attempts to force her into prostitution.

There might've been swearing, but I honestly can't remember (note to self: pay more attention to the naughty words.)

This was enjoyable as all hell, and one heck of an adventure :)

Liked this post? Try these:

  1. Haha you can tell this review is coffee-induced. That being said, the best reviews are ;)

  2. I wonder if I will enjoy the read. Not in a mood for domestic violence reads in holiday time. Great review though

    1. It's within a family rather than within a relationship, but is still pretty prominent.

      And thank you very much :)

  3. I am glad you were able to find this novel so much fun! That always makes me so happy when I am read a book. I like the sound of that. I sometimes have issues with the name of the main character as well... and sometimes it makes the reading a bit hard even if it is a personal thing :P

    1. Thanks - and thanks for the opportunity to review it, your review chain is awesome :)

Comments? I love comments! Talk to me nerdlets!

SC results reveal challenge for Sanders among black voters

Bernie Sanders

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., arrives to speak during a campaign rally in Springfield, Va., Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Bernie Sanders’ presidential ambitions were undone in 2016 when he couldn’t line up enough support from black voters to win the Democratic nomination. As he tries again in 2020, results from South Carolina suggest he’s still struggling to appeal to the voters who make up the backbone of the Democratic Party.

Former Vice President Joe Biden won 64% of African American voters in South Carolina, compared to just 14% who sided with Sanders, according to AP VoteCast, a wide-ranging survey of more than 1,400 voters in the state’s Democratic primary.

There were also warning signs among younger voters of color on whom Sanders has relied to offset older voters who were expected to support Biden. Black voters under 45 were roughly split between Biden and Sanders, a sign that the Vermont senator’s following among younger voters had limits. Sanders held on to voters under 30 overall.

In the four years since Hillary Clinton defeated him by 47 percentage points in South Carolina, Sanders has focused on building relationships with black leaders and voters. He frequently speaks of a multi-racial coalition that will help him win the nomination and the White House. But some black leaders say Sanders will struggle to build support if his campaign remains focused on hard-line progressive issues such as single-payer health care.

“This is not an extreme left-wing party, and, if we’re going to win, you’re going to have to be able to attract people to you from more than one corner of the Earth,” said House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat and the highest-ranking black member of Congress.

Clyburn endorsed Biden in the final days before his home state’s primary, backing that some black voters said was influential in their decision to vote for the former vice president.

Sanders has proven he can win voters of color. He scored a resounding victory in the Nevada caucuses with support from Latino voters.

His next test comes on Tuesday when voters go to the polls in 14 states. Several states, including Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia, have substantial populations of black voters. Other states that vote on Tuesday, including California and Texas, have large numbers of Latinos as well.

Sanders was the only leading presidential candidate who didn’t attend ceremonies on Sunday in Selma, Alabama, commemorating a pivotal march during the 1960s civil rights movement. But he has spent the past several years working to strengthen his relationship with minorities.

Like a lot of Democratic presidential candidates, Sanders has prioritized visits to historically black colleges and universities. He’s also promised to overhaul a “racist” federal criminal justice system that he says unfairly targets black Americans and punishes them and other minorities much harsher than whites.

Sanders has courted activists, hoping to win their endorsements. He visited Goldsboro, North Carolina, last week to meet the Rev. William Barber and address a gathering at his Greenleaf Christian Church.

“The measurable difference between how Sen. Sanders is doing, especially anecdotally, than what he was doing in 2016 — his endorsements are one measure of that,” said Nina Turner, a former Ohio state senator who is a co-chairwoman of Sanders’ campaign and one of his highest-profile African American supporters.

“People — when he is around, they respond to him in the same way, and it’s not about how they identify,” Turner said. “It’s that they identify him as the person who has the vision that they need to make their lives better.”

Jennifer Epps-Addison, co-executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy Action, which has endorsed Sanders, said Sanders has gone out of his way to woo black activists and reverse perceptions from 2016.

“He has done the work,” Epps-Addison said. “Our network has been very critical of Sen. Sanders, particularly on issues of race, in the past. But he has sat with folks, he has built a movement.”

She added that Sanders has won the support of “folks who have dedicated their lives to the liberation of black people in the United States, and they are surrounding Sen. Sanders and saying, ‘This is our campaign because we have real power in this movement.’”

Sanders’ top advisers acknowledge that his standing with black Americans will have to improve if their candidate is going to win the Democratic nomination, much less defeat President Donald Trump in November. Clinton’s failure to secure turnout among African Americans in 2016 at the levels that helped carry President Barack Obama to reelection four years prior was a key factor in her defeat.

But Sanders’ campaign also points to polling in some early states and nationally that it says shows Sanders appealing to young people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Sanders himself advanced that argument the day after the South Carolina primary, saying, “Biden did very well last night. But we did win among younger African Americans.”

“I think if you look at the national polling, in some cases we are beating him nationally and certainly among younger people,” Sanders said on ABC’s “This Week.” That followed Sanders taking a subtle shot at Biden during a rally Saturday night in Virginia, when he declared that “old-fashioned politics, the same old, same old type of politics that doesn’t excite anybody, that doesn’t energize anybody.”

Older voters of all races tend to vote in much higher numbers than their younger counterparts, which is why Sanders has stressed for weeks that he’ll need record voter turnout to prevail in November — should he make it through the primary.

“I’m a 50-year-old black woman, and I tend to be middle of the road. I don’t veer too far to either side, but I’m voting what I think is best for all of us, not just me,” said Dalhi Myers, a councilwoman from Richland County in South Carolina, who switched her backing from Biden to Sanders earlier this year. “I think what’s best for all of us is electrifying enough people … who will go to the polls.”

Many of Sanders’ arguments for broad-based reform — including a complete revamp of the nation’s health care system — may seem extreme to someone who, like Myers, considers herself more of a centrist. But, to Myers, defeating Trump, with the knowledge that sweeping structural changes would need to make their way through Congress in order to be implemented, should win the day.

“I’m not a left-wing liberal. I’m not even a left-wing Democrat,” Myers said. “But I am a realist.”
