Stefan Kossoff (DFID’s governance czar) reviews the new WDR, published this week.Stefan Kossoff

For those of us working on governance this week’s publication of the 2017 World Development Report on Governance and Law (WDR17) has been hotly awaited. And I’m pleased to say the report–in all its 280 page glory–does not disappoint (there’s a 4 page summary for the time-starved). As Duncan Green, Brian Levy and others have noted, WDR17 is a landmark report which has potentially far-reaching implications, not just for governance work but for the entire development agenda.

WDR coverIf the Sustainable Development Goals (Goal 16) set the vision for work on “peace, justice and effective, accountable and inclusive institutions”, the WDR performs an important service in elaborating how we might get there. But the WDR17 is consciously not a “blueprint for action” – on the contrary, it provides a compelling argument for why technical blueprints, best practice solutions and other efforts to transplant institutions from one context to another are unlikely to succeed. In so doing it provides a rallying call for a much humbler, more realistic governance agenda which is both politically smart and locally-led.

This WDR is different from previous WDRs because it asks not “what” needs to change for development to happen, but “why” policy and institutional reforms often fail, including many of those (like anti-corruption commissions) prescribed by the IFIs. Drawing on an impressive range of historical examples—from Ancient Greece to modern day China, Brazil and Somaliland amongst many others—the WDR rehearses some familiar but important arguments about the centrality of institutions for a range of development outcomes including peace, growth and equity; the importance of institutional “function over form”; and the critical role that political power plays in shaping the nature and pace of change.

While the message that “politics matters” may not be a new one, the fact that the World Bank—with its apolitical WDR 17 frameworkmandate—is saying it, is hugely significant. The emphasis on “elite bargains”, citizen engagement and international action in promoting governance change certainly feels a long way from the technocratic reform agenda of the 1990s.

But articulating this argument is one thing, actually acting on its implications is quite another.  So the big question is whether the WDR can genuinely lead to a transformation in aid practice both in the World Bank and beyond.

The jury is currently out but there is certainly scope for some optimism. The Bank has committed to “operationalise” the WDR17 as part of the IDA 18 replenishment package. (The International Development Association is the World Bank lending arm for the world’s poorest countries. Every three years donors meet to replenish IDA resources and review its policy framework.) The details have still to be fleshed out, but this could herald a significant change in the way the Bank works – for example in the area of economic policy where the emphasis on “best fit” and politically-feasible advice would represent a decisive shift away from best practice orthodoxy. The WDR also provides an opportunity to forge a concrete agenda for action across the wider development community, linking with existing initiatives around “thinking and working politically”, “going with the grain” and “doing development differently”. To kick off the discussion, I would identify the following as important elements of that agenda:

  • Make the WDR17 relevant for everyone working on policy and institutional reform. The WDR will be a wasted opportunity if it is only preaching to the converted in the governance community. As the report argues, governance needs to be “front and centre” of work on economic development, conflict and service delivery. But this means winning hearts and minds amongst economists and education, health and infrastructure specialists too. We also need to break out of our aid silos and collaborate with partners across government to address common challenges arising from corruption, crime and instability.
  • WDR17 fig 3Fully embrace a politically smart, flexible and adaptive approach to aid delivery, completing our evolution away from technical blueprints. This means more development strategies and programmes which address the political as well as technical barriers to development progress. As Alan Hudson points out, it also means creating the systems and processes which allow for more flexible and adaptive working – including better problem diagnosis; more innovative approaches to procurement and contracting; greater investment in monitoring, evaluation and learning; and new skills and capabilities for staff. Lastly, it means a fundamental change in organisational culture so staff are empowered and incentivised to think politically and work flexibly.
  • Engage with elites and citizens to expand the policy space and support governance change. Development agencies will always be peripheral actors in bigger stories of governance change. But, rather than promoting our own institutional fixes, we can have more impact by supporting home-grown efforts to build consensus amongst elites, empower citizens and develop institutions that are both capable and legitimate. This work is not easy, but it can have potentially transformative results. DFID has a growing number of programmes working successfully in this way, including on extractive transparency in Nigeria, hydropower reform in Nepal, education reform in Pakistan, and service provision in Burma.
  •  Tackle the international drivers of bad governance and promote new international norms. It WDR17 fig 4is clear that country-level governance dynamics are increasingly being shaped by cross border and transnational flows. Many of the biggest governance challenges of our time including corruption, tax evasion, illicit trade and violent extremism are global in nature. This demands a global response. Last year’s International Anti-Corruption Summit was a great example of how international action can be galvanised to address these threats – including through measures to strengthen transparency in the UK such as the new register of beneficial ownership. International initiatives like the Open Government Partnership and Extractives Industry Transparency Initiative also have an important role in promoting global norms on transparency and accountability, particularly given trends towards creeping authoritarianism and closing civil society space across the world.

In DFID we are taking forward work on several of these fronts. The UK Aid Strategy puts governance at the heart of HMG and international efforts to tackle the underlying causes of instability and poverty. Our new Economic Development Strategy, also being launched this week, goes even further in articulating the links between governance, growth and private sector development. DFID has long sought to understand the “drivers of change” in partner countries and put political economy analysis at the heart of our programmes in order to enhance impact. This has been combined with recent efforts to simplify and streamline our aid processes and create more space for flexible and adaptive programming. We are still on a learning curve and certainly would not claim to have all the answers, but the WDR offers a good opportunity for us to consider what more we could do improve practice on the ground and deliver better development results.

Forest Service to Allow Olympic National Forest War Games

Forest Service officials have given the green light to a controversial plan to stage electronic warfare games on the Olympic National Forest in Washington state.

The decision allows personnel from the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station to park three “mobile transmitter” trucks at 11 locations in the western part of the national forest. The trucks will shoot electromagnetic signals skyward. Navy fighter jets will try to detect and intercept the signals.

The proposal drew widespread criticism from local residents, conservationists and the general public. FSEEE was among those to file a formal objection to the proposal, contending that there is no legal authorization for conducting the training on the national forest.

Terms of the permit allow the Navy to train up to 260 days a year, for 8 to 16 hours each day. No training would be allowed on weekends or federal holidays.

Olympic National Forest officials said in a news release that “(n)o significant public health or safety impacts would occur as a result of the training exercises.” They said that the agency worked closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in reviewing the proposal, and determined that the training is “not anticipated to result in significant disruption to species.”

Dean Millet, a district ranger on the Olympic National Forest, signed the decision notice on Monday.

Navy officials are reviewing the permit, said Greg Wahl, environmental coordinator for the national forest, and still must sign the document.

“As soon as they do, they can use the Forest Service roads,” Wahl said.

    We have to stop this madness. It is one thing if the navy worked with the public and respected our federal lands. Sadly they think they above the law. We are running out of wilderness to enjoy. There is health impacts, including reducing wilderness that has incredible stress healing powers. We need to take action before it’s way to late. We are Americans, asking the navy to respect our amazing public lands we all enjoy. lets all team up and make our selves heard and never give up.

Alex Cora at World Series parade: 'We scored 16 at Yankee Stadium, suck on it'

The Red Sox celebrated their World Series victory with a parade in Boston on Wednesday, and manager Alex Cora delivered a stern rebuke to the club’s haters:

“The New York Yankees, yeah, the sky was falling,” Cora said. “We lost (ALDS) Game 2, and there was panicking here, everybody’s all, ‘whoa, it’s over.’ We scored 16 at Yankee Stadium. Suck on it.”

Cora went on to describe the way the Red Sox made quick work of the Astros by sweeping the Houston leg of the ALCS, and how they seemed to turn Dodger Stadium into Fenway Park West by the end of their convincing World Series win over Los Angeles.

Winning a World Series requires so much skill, strategy and luck that every championship club inevitably has its doubters along the way, so even players and coaches on wire-to-wire powerhouse teams tend to punctuate titles with statements about how people outside the clubhouse didn’t believe in them and have now been proven wrong.

But in the case of the 2018 Red Sox, Cora makes a pretty fair point. For a team that won 108 games in the regular season, the Sox faced an awful lot of doubt in every postseason series, especially because their pitching staff never seemed to stack up well on paper against those of their opponents. I can confirm this because I covered every game of the Red Sox’ postseason run and doubted them at various times myself.

I will not suck on it — I will not, Alex Cora! — but I will happily credit both some big pitching performances and Cora’s sharp stewardship for proving me very, extremely wrong. Joe Kelly, Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier and Heath Hembree combined to cover 33 1/3 innings with a collective 0.81 ERA over the postseason, and Cora masterfully kept his relief corps from overuse or overexposure by turning his starters into bullpen “rovers” throughout October.

Cora’s comments in the above video appear pretty clearly directed at the Red Sox’ various doubters rather than the Yankees team they beat, 16-1, in Game 3 of the ALDS. But this nuance will inevitably be lost on some members of the Yankees and their fanbase, so this probably won’t be the last you hear about Alex Cora saying “suck on it” at the Sox’ World Series parade.

How to recruit fundraising volunteers

fundraising, fundraising planning, , 2014 fundraising, new year, fundraising tips, how to grow your fundraisingSuccessful fundraising requires qualified volunteer leadership. Whether you are launching an annual campaign or a capital campaign you need a campaign chair who is committed to your cause and willing to put in the time required to achieve your fundraising goal. The ideal chair makes your goal his goal. He is well respected, has a track record of leadership in local and regional fundraising campaigns, and the financial means to make a leadership-level gift. He is someone people cannot say “no” to, and he hates to fail. He allocates the necessary time to lead and manage the campaign, and provides pro-bono services. He is comfortable making the case and asking for gifts. He both attends and leads campaign meetings, bringing out the best in others, and encouraging all to give to their capacity.

If you are wondering where to find such an individual, we suggest looking at your existing relationships, starting with long-term donors and current major donors. Consider current and former board members and advisors. Reflect on the well-respected leaders in your community and create a list of those who might benefit from being involved with your campaign. Remember: not all volunteerism is altruistic! A commitment to your organization’s mission is critical, but self-interest could also be a driver.

Here are a few examples. A bank president may have lost a grandchild to domestic violence and wants to interrupt the cycle and save others from such grief. An alumnus may want to enhance her profile in anticipation of a future run for state-wide office. A business leader from another part of the country may be relocating her business operations to your community and needs to build relationships and goodwill. You may be surprised at what drives people’s intentions and who wants to support your fundraising.

As you recruit your chair, share your fundraising plan with him. Give him time to review your plan so he can determine if he has the time, connections, and willingness to make it work. Ask him who he wants to support his efforts: Let him invite others to join his fundraising team. He may have a circle of colleagues he works with who can “make things happen.”

While it takes time to identify, solicit, and engage your top fundraising leadership, your efforts will yield results. An engaged and qualified chair can do more for your campaign than an enthusiastic chair who lacks experience and connections.

Here are the top three things to remember in regard to fundraising leadership. First, leadership is critical to the success of any fundraising effort. Second, fundraising must be volunteer-driven, with strong, experienced leadership. Third, people give to people.

Three tips for fundraising success

fundraising, fundraising planning, , 2014 fundraising, new year, fundraising tips, how to grow your fundraisingProper planning can set you up for fundraising success. Visualize your success, feel it in your heart, and then make sure the prerequisites for fundraising success are in place before you start soliciting. Here are three tips to launch your 2014 fundraising in the right direction.

First, create a clear, concise, and compelling case for financial support that ties back to the organization’s strategic plan. Your case should be a short, and easy-to-read, forward-looking document that communicates what you are raising money for and how the funds will be used. It should communicate the projected impact of your organization and how a donor’s or funder’s support will make a difference in the lives of those you serve or advocate for. The “case” is used as the basis for verbal and written introductions and solicitations of time, services, goods, and money. It should drive the content of your marketing campaigns. Fundraising is a competitive endeavor — if you are not raising funds for your organization, someone else is raising money for theirs. It is important that your nonprofit can make the case for its impact, value and what makes it unique.

Second, complete a fundraising feasibility study or survey. You know the value of your nonprofit, but do your current and potential donors feel the same way? Are you sure that the fundraising priorities you set match the priorities of the giving community you seek to engage? Can you count on your donors for continuing – and increasing – support, or are they in the process of revising their giving priorities? A fundraising feasibility study or survey will provide you with information from those who have the finances and influence to impact your fundraising in a positive or negative way. This should be conducted by an outside firm for confidentiality. There are many reasons why people can’t or won’t personally share with you their true assessment of your nonprofit and their willingness or capacity to give. An outside firm can talk with current and potential donors and provide a confidential report. Such a report typically includes an assessment of how much your nonprofit could expect to raise, how your nonprofit is perceived by the giving community (including strengths and challenges), what would influence increased giving, and who could provide volunteer leadership and funding.

Third, develop a time-phased fundraising plan. This should be more than a spreadsheet. While spreadsheets can track activities your plan should be more robust. It should include roles and responsibilities for staff, board members and volunteers; the fundraising methods you will use and expected revenue (and costs!) for each; a gift chart; and milestones that hold all parties accountable for consistent progress.

Four tips for a successful fundraising year

tips for fundraising success, fundraising, fundraising planning, , 2014 fundraising, new yearHappy New Year! Are you beginning 2014 with your hopes pinned on a bountiful new year? Does your vision of December 2014 include smiling faces as you toast members of your fundraising team, celebrating a year that broke fundraising records? Are you dreaming of fundraising success, or are you planting seeds that can bear fruit this year and for years to come?

We suggest giving your dreams a strong foundation: put in place the prerequisites for fundraising success. There are 18 things you can focus on throughout the year that will help ensure fundraising success in 2014 and for years to come. This column focuses on four: agreement, commitment, teamwork, and a budget.

Start with agreement. Do the leaders of your organization agree on the fundraising priorities and how much needs to be raised?  Are the goals in line with your nonprofit’s strategic direction? Does everyone understand the current financial position? Are the goals realistic? Is there an understanding of where the money could come from? Are there contingency plans in place in case initial donors or funders are unable or unwilling to give at the level your nonprofit anticipates?

Move on to commitment. Your board might approve a budget that depends on the organization raising a specific amount of money, but that is not the same as being committed to ensuring the funds are raised. Leaders demonstrate commitment through their own personal giving. If board members won’t give, why should anyone else? Involvement is another way to demonstrate commitment. Are board members willing to host friendraisers and fundraisers? Talk with current and prospective funders? Introduce your nonprofit to a new circle of potential supporters?

Board participation is critical, but no board can achieve fundraising success on its own. A larger team is required. Engage those who can make a difference in your nonprofit’s fundraising by asking them to join a fundraising leadership team. Invite donors, local business and community leaders, your employees, volunteers and those who benefit from the work of your nonprofit to lend their skills, enthusiasm and relationships. Colleges, universities, private schools and charter schools should always engage alumni. Set up weekly or monthly meetings for the team and make sure there are clear and well defined roles for each team member.

Make sure the annual operating budget includes funds to support your fundraising efforts. The old saying is true: it takes money to make money. Successful fundraising requires the consistent allocation of time, money and resources. Take the time to determine how much can be allocated to fundraising, and set realistic expectations regarding how much can be raised.

Over the next few weeks we will introduce additional prerequisites for fundraising success. In the meantime, we invite you to assess your fundraising readiness for free at www.saadandshaw.com.

Anticipating 2014 Fundraising Success

Part two of a two part series (Read Part One: 2013 Fundraising Reflections)

fundraising, fundraising planning, fundraising strategies, new year, Nonprofit ResourcesIn our last column we asked you to reflect on your fundraising for the past year and to record your answers to three questions: What have you done well, which activities or strategies didn’t meet expectations, and were your goals realistic. In anticipation of the coming year, we suggest you use the wisdom gained from your reflections to lay the groundwork for 2014.

#1. Lead with your strengths. As you anticipate your fundraising activities for 2014 build on those things you did well in 2013. If special events are the revenue driver for your nonprofit, stay with that. Find incremental ways to build on what is already in place. In order to protect your nonprofit’s revenue in the future, make sure you also allocate time and resources to building other fundraising programs. For example, to grow your individual giving program you can begin identifying and following up with individuals who attend your events to determine which donors and underwriters are interested in other forms of giving and engagement. If your nonprofit has built a strong annual campaign, allocate time and resources to identifying potential major donors and deploying strategies designed to engage them in higher levels of giving.

#2. Rethink strategies that didn’t meet expectations. Not every fundraising strategy is a success the first time you work with it. If there are strategies that worked that well in 2013, review your reflection notes, and discuss the challenges and potential adjustments with other members of your fundraising team. Identify changes for 2014. Consider setting “check points” – times during the year when you will review the strategy, your progress, the extent to which the identified changes are being implemented, and whether or not they are effective. You may find that your changes can increase revenue. You may determine the strategy is not one that should be pursued, even with the modifications.

#3. Make sure your fundraising plan includes timeframes, roles and responsibilities, and a budget. Too often a fundraising plan is a wish and a prayer. Goals are identified, but the people, time and money required to achieve the goals are unavailable. If your nonprofit wants to “ramp up” its fundraising, it will need to ramp up its investment as well. Take the time to determine who will be responsible for taking the lead in ensuring specific goals are met within an agreed upon timeframe. Write up responsibilities for all team members. Create a budget and ensure the funds are allocated.

Upcoming columns will focus on the prerequisites for fundraising success – the 18 things we have learned through our work that are the foundation of a strong fundraising program. As you prepare for 2014 take some time to read our two books: they are available on Amazon.com, easy to read, and written for you.

Merry Christmas!

People in fund development and fundraising help influence service delivery, public policy, education, research, advocacy, and more. Success in fund development can bring you to the decision making table. It’s also excellent preparation for serving as an executive director.

“How do I start?” you might ask. If you are can secure work with a hospital, college, or public radio or television station you can learn the systems and procedures that represent best practices.. Working in fundraising for one of these institutions can provide insight into the different strategies and activities that comprise fundraising.

Another way to gain experience is to volunteer as a board member or fundraiser for an organization you believe in. If you are interested in learning through doing, be sure to interview the leadership of the organization and tell them your goals. Also, make sure their fundraising is well-organized and effective, and is a program you will actually learn from.

You may also find that your private or government sector experience is transferrable. The following is an overview job titles and responsibilities within the nonprofit sector. Knowing the terminology and responsibilities can help you assess career opportunities and the extent to which your skills may be transferrable.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Goodwill Industries of Northeast Indiana’s Mission is: Goodwill empowers and prepares people for independence through training, personal growth and work. The good that Goodwill is able to accomplish begins and ends with people in our northeast Indiana community. People generously donate household goods to us, we sell it in our stores and online, and use the money we raise to open doorways for people who need jobs, but lack job skills and opportunities.

We focus on people in the greatest need who are ready to transform their lives – offering our clients “a hand up, not a handout.” Goodwill’s free services benefit people with disabilities, youth with disabilities, recipients of public assistance, ex-offenders and people with limited education or work history. Services are tailored to each individual and could include benefits analysis, work evaluations, job placement, retail and workplace training, supported employment and follow-along services.

We do not use the Special Minimum Wage Certificate nor operate sheltered workshops. Goodwill supports over 270 jobs that range from entry level, hourly positions starting at $12.00 to professional, salaried positions. Full-time employees receive an array of benefits to choose from including medical, dental, vision, life, paid time off, holidays and a matched retirement plan.

The Better Business Bureau says that a good charity channels at least 65% of its revenue into mission-based services. At Goodwill, 91.9 cents of every dollar we spend is reinvested back into our northeast Indiana community through jobs, services and program related expense.

Donations stock our stores to support Goodwill’s Mission, but there are real costs associated with each donation. An attendant unloads donations, processors sort and price items, cashiers help customers, janitors keep the stores’ clean, truck drivers and material handlers transport goods to the stores, excess and seasonal goods are warehoused and every store location has operational expenses (rent, utilities, technology, insurance, maintenance, equipment, fixtures and fire/burglar alarms).

Goodwill is a private not-for-profit organization. Our services to you and the employer are free. Our funding comes from Indiana’s Vocational Rehabilitation Services, revenue generated through Goodwill store sales, people who “Round Up” their change at the stores’ check-out counters and grants. We are nationally accredited through the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), an agency that sets quality standards of performance for various non-profit organizations.

Goodwill serves youth, adults with disabilities and disadvantages who are referred by Indiana Family & Social Services Administration Vocational Rehabilitation Services.

For Indiana FSSA Vocational Rehabilitation Services information, please visit https://www.in.gov/fssa/ddrs/rehabilitation-employment/vocational-rehabilitation-employment/.

For additional information about Goodwill’s services, please contact Randy Wolf, Goodwill Client Services Director at 260-478-7617 extension 1019 or randyw@fwgoodwill.org.

We help people find jobs in the community, wherever that may be, based on each individual’s specific needs. We work together to find jobs that match an individual’s strengths, skills and abilities in all types of industries. We have helped people find employment in retail, manufacturing, warehousing, office settings and etc., from professional to entry level.

Goodwill staff are willing to meet at times and places that are convenient for our clients: our office, Vocational Rehabilitation Services, any Goodwill store, libraries, restaurants, or wherever they choose. However, we do not typically meet in client’s homes unless their disability makes it necessary.

Our Employment Specialists have between 3 – 14 years’ experience with Goodwill. They generally come from either a Human Resources background, Education/Teaching, or other professional job placement service such as temporary services or job search agencies.

Goodwill Employment Specialists receive additional training in placing people with disabilities from the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, receiving a certificate in Employment Specialist Training. They also have Benefit Information Network (BIN) training as a BIN Liaison through the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, Center on Community Living and Careers. This allows them to support people with disabilities with information on how working may impact an individual’s state or federal benefits.

Our Job Coaches have varied professional backgrounds, but usually are selected to work at Goodwill because of their training/teaching experience.

Goodwill provides additional staff training throughout the year and staff read industry publications and periodicals. Everyone has First Aid and CPR Certifications and ongoing safety training.

All staff members adhere to a strict code of values and ethical conduct emphasizing confidentiality, professional behavior and avoiding conflicts of interest.

U.S. FDA approves first biosimilar rival to Roche’s blockbuster eye drug

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved South Korean drugmaker Samsung Bioepis Co Ltd and Biogen Inc’s (BIIB.O) biosimilar rival to Roche Holding AG’s (ROG.S) blockbuster eye drug, Lucentis.

Biosimilars are cheaper versions of biologic drugs made from living organisms.

Lucentis, which already faces competition from Novartis AG’s (NOVN.S) Beovu, is approved to treat eye diseases such as wet age-related macular degeneration and brought in sales of CHF 1.4 billion ($1.50 billion) in 2020.

The copycat version will be allowed to be marketed in the United States from next year June, as part of an agreement with Roche’s Genentech unit, the drug developers said in a joint statement.Report ad

[CLOSED] Discord server unban request

Username: mahte
Discord: COP#0422
Discord Id: 619683855145762846
Ban reason: sexism and toxicity

I have been banned from the discord server due to a comment i made to a individual, “She should spend her time in the kitchen instead of playing games.” .

I have recognised my mistake and resent what I said greatly. I should’ve considered the fact that it could’ve easily offended the victim and it was awful of me to do. I didn’t sense it as an insult rather as a mere joke, however now i know I need to think before I press enter. I want to be a wholesome and caring person in the GAR community and i know now i that was not the way. I owe my heartfelt apologies to the person I discriminated against. I hope they find it in their heart to forgive me.

I have been in the GAR community for a while and its a big reason of why i am still on this platform due to the divisions. I would hate to see myself permanenty barred from being in the GAR community, so this would keep me on track from any more foolish and harmful behaviour to others as i now know the consequence.

Yours sincerely,

Your ban was issued too recent for me to unban you right now. Try appealing on a later date.

Ever since I got this cactus it has been growing, but now it's becoming purple and paler. What am I doing wrong, and how do I solve it? I'm rather new at this gardening stuff so help would really be appreciated.

I already tried watering it less but it's still worsening. What other things should I try?

Edit: I live in south east asia and had it for 4 weeks now. The beads of moisture is water and its indoors on a windowstill enter image description here

    Need a better pic with the light behind or above you rather than against a window providing light to the front of the plant, hard to see any detail in this photo, not even sure what it is. What part of the world are you in and how long have you had the plant?

    Actually, I've just noticed what appear to be beads of moisture or other clear substance at the top on the right hand branch - is it water or something else? And is it indoors on a windowsill, or outdoors?

  • Can you make the picture brighter, because it looks dark green to me? Dec 31, 2016 at 21:56

    When you say its turning purple, are you referring to the dark streaks all over the plant, or were they there originally? What kind of soil is it potted into and how often were you watering it originally, and how much did you reduce it?
    – Bamboo
    Jan 1, 2017 at 13:02
  • @Bamboo Yes the dark streaks all across the plant. The soil is soil i got near the burning grounds in my house for fertilizer. I used to water it twice a day now its gone to twice a week

1 Answer 1

The worst thing is, I can't decide which cactus this actually is - I'm inclining towards possibly a Euphorbia of some description, or more likely Orbea tubiflora maybe, but I really am not sure. Even so, there are some things you can try - first, can you get hold of some sterilised potting compost rather than just garden soil? It needs a sandy or gritty free draining potting medium as soon as possible, and a pot with drainage holes in the bottom if that one doesn't have them - in the meantime, and ongoing, stop watering, you're watering way too much. I don't know what part of the world you're in, but most cactus can go weeks without any water at all, particularly during the winter months, when they should be watered very sparingly occasionally just to prevent shrivelling. I wouldn't suggest you water it at all at this stage for at least a month, and then see how its doing - even when you do start watering, just a little maybe every two weeks, or less often if its winter where you are.

The purple streaks may mean its already too late and a fungal infection or rot has already set in and the plant will just die, but if you want to try and save it, follow the advice given above. In the meantime, I will spend more time researching what plant it could actually be... if its one of the Orbeas, they are at real risk of rot if watered too much from autumn through winter, though they need more water once spring arrives, at which time, rot should not occur.

the wife writes of lovelorn and lonely gloves......

The wife herself!

I am walking across the Cornell University campus yesterday on my way to work in the Pot Shop and see a brightly dressed person across the quad taking pictures of the gutter. Tis the wife! I head over for the happy reunion.
She is like "I am taking pictures of gloves in the gutter. I am writing a story!" and I am like
"that one is especially dirty" and we wander on and I see a PAIR! A pair of nice leather gloves (above pic) and we move in to get the photo and then she is like
"are you gonna grab them or shall I?" and I tuck them away and say
"they would just get ruined out here anyways, plus I bet they fit you...." and later in the car she is trying on the one and about to try on the other and I am like
"you know what makes a good glove story? You are trying them on and there is a FINGER IN THERE! A chopped off finger!" and she quick tosses them on the floor and is like
"Yeah, a chopped off finger with a wedding ring! Whose finger is it??????"
Enjoy her brief story here.

Speed Dating for Mateless Gloves by Maude Rith

“Do you come here often? Do you do this sort of thing all the time? This is my first time here so I guess we have eight minutes before we mutate into mittens. I’m joking, eight minutes until we rotate?

“Have you met anybody here? Do you come because you’ve succeeded or do you come because you’re still looking? No, I’m kidding again. If you had found someone of course you wouldn’t be here. You’d be off with your true glove.

“Speaking of which how did it happen? Oh, that is sad. No, they never hear your mate’s cries. Sometimes I wonder if people would just stop and listen or check to see if they have everything before rushing off there would be fewer of us in this world.

“Me? We were being carried and she was running for the train. In fact, the doors almost closed on her wrist and she was so surprised. We all were but I got on and he didn’t. Her fingers were just loose enough. He fell on the tracks; it was horrible. I probably wouldn’t recognize him now down in the filth and water and rats and trash. But enough about me, what kind of glove are you looking for? What qualities would you compromise on? I see.

“Do you think we get along? Can you see yourself with me? Will you really call me or are you asking for my number just to be nice? Bye, hope to hear from you. I mean it.”

(Enjoy some G Love and special sauce...get it...G LOVE together is...glove!)

Michèle Hastings said...

very well done maude!

bartster said...

The title made me think of a possible parody of Erich Segall's book (later the movie) Love Story..Glove Story where do I begin?

CiCi said...

Now I will be more careful with my gloves. Fun to read your story, Maude.

Unknown said...

Great blog, love the song. I feel sorry for those who have never, nor ever will, experience true love. There is nothing like it, anywhere in the Universe.
I think those of us who are so lucky, and have often pondered why some people just "Don't Get It"! or if they choose to not want it. Go figure, that is all I truly care about is love and being loved. It's always first and foremost in my life, and so glad you and Maude, "Get It"! We are the luckiest indeed.

Busy Bee Suz said...

Oh, this is so cute and funny.
I have a few missing gloves....I wonder now about the conversation going on in my glove drawer.
We saw G Love & special sauce in concert years ago...pretty cool.

Cheryl said...

Oh my goodness, I loved Maude's glove story! By the way, what happened to the pair of gloves?

Anonymous said...

LOL, "your true glove." Wonderful work, Maude!

My husband finds lonely gloves all the time. Next time I might mention the finger inside, just to see if he still picks it up!

Comic Review: Petals
  |  @   |

Written and Illustrated by Gustavo Borges
Colors by Cris Peter
KaBOOM!, An Imprint of BOOM! Studios
Release Date: September 25, 2018
Cover Price: $16.99

Comics are an amazing media form, folks. And while usually they create a story through a blending of words and art, this is not always the case. In fact, Petals is a prime example of masterful storytelling through art alone.

The emotion that is conveyed through sequential art is both deep and heartfelt. It reminds me of silent films and how they had to take such pains to ensure the audience was hooked in, though this is decidedly more difficult due to the lack of motion to accentuate the feelings of the characters.

The game Urban Rivals is the brightest and most popular representative in the genre of collectible card games. This project contains a very “sassy drawn” characters. Heroes are endowed with superpowers, a multinational army to fight in a virtual world.

When you register in Urban Rivals, you are given a deck of character cards (choose from three different decks). The cards in this game are the symbol of some quirky character who lives in or around the town of Clint Citi. Each character has the signs of power and damage, as well as abilities and bonuses.

This game is quite interesting to play, the characters are the part of the same clan, defining firearms, knives, poisons and more. There are two types of cards: standard (STD) and limited edition (LTD).

Urban Rivals has an interesting fight system: before the fight begins, four cards are randomly drawn from the battle deck, and they are used in the battle. The minimum number of cards allowed in the battles is 8. During the battle each of the opponents can choose any card to turn and determine the number of special points (Pillz), which will help to increase the effectiveness. The main goal of the battle is to make maximum damage to the opponent’s cards.

The game encourages players to regularly add to their collection. There are many strong and interesting heroes in the game world that you want to compete with. You can upgrade your deck by buying new cards on the market or by completing tasks that will give you access to the unique heroes.

Biden orders pen and phone so he can bypass Congress just like Obama

WASHINGTON, DC—Now that Congress has officially certified the stolen election and Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States, Biden confirmed reports today that he ordered a pen and phone, in keeping with the precedent set by Obama, so he can bypass Congress once he’s in the Oval Office.

“Even though the Senate is divided and Kamala can break the tie, I suspect some moderate Democrats may vote with the Republicans,” Biden said. “So to play things safe, I ordered a pen and phone so I can completely bypass the Continental Congress like my old buddy Obama did. It’s probably not legal, but who cares about the Articles of Confederation anyway?”

When President Trump saw the report, he immediately contacted Amazon and changed Biden’s order from a pen and phone to a copy of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

“Nothing says ‘democracy’ like a single guy writing laws despite the will of the people,” Biden said.

In his first 100 days, Biden intends to unilaterally mobilize Trunalimunumaprzure. Ready or not.

    There are numerous other techniques for dating geological materials, but we will examine just two of them here: tree-ring dating (i.e., dendrochronology) and dating based on the record of reversals of Earth’s magnetic field.

    Dendrochronology can be applied to dating very young geological materials based on reference records of tree-ring growth going back many millennia. The longest such records can take us back to 25 ka, to the height of the last glaciation. One of the advantages of dendrochronology is that, providing reliable reference records are available, the technique can be used to date events to the nearest year.

    Dendrochronology has been used to date the last major subduction-zone earthquake on the coast of B.C., Washington, and Oregon. When large earthquakes strike in this setting, there is a tendency for some coastal areas to subside by one or two meters. Seawater then rushes in, flooding coastal flats and killing trees and other vegetation within a few months. There are at least four locations along the coast of Washington that have such dead trees (and probably many more in other areas). Wood samples from these trees have been studied and the ring patterns have been compared with patterns from old living trees in the region (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)).

    Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\) Example of tree-ring dating of dead trees.
    Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\) Sites in Washington where dead trees are present in coastal flats. The outermost wood of eight trees was dated using dendrochronology, and of these, seven died during the year 1699, suggesting that the land near to the coast was inundated by water at that time.

    At all of the locations studied, the trees were found to have died either in the year 1699, or very shortly thereafter (Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\)). On the basis of these results, it was concluded that a major earthquake took place in this region sometime between the end of growing season in 1699 and the beginning of the growing season in 1700. Evidence from a major tsunami that struck Japan on January 27, 1700, narrowed the timing of the earthquake to sometime in the evening of January 26, 1700. For more information, see The 1700 Juan de Fuca Earthquake.

    Changes in Earth’s magnetic field can also be used to date events in geologic history. The magnetic field makes compasses point toward the North Pole, but, as we’ll see in Chapter 10, this hasn’t always been the case. At various times in the past, Earth’s magnetic field has reversed itself completely, and during those times a compass would have pointed to the South Pole. By studying magnetism in volcanic rocks that have been dated isotopically, geologists have been able to delineate the chronology of magnetic field reversals going back to 250 Ma. About 5 million years of this record is shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\), where the black bands represent periods of normal magnetism (“normal” meaning similar to the current magnetic field) and the white bands represent periods of reversed magnetism. These periods of consistent magnetic polarity are given names to make them easier to reference. The current normal magnetic field, known as Brunhes, has lasted for the past 780,000 years. Prior to that there was a short reversed period and then a short normal period known as Jaramillo.

    Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\) The last 5 Ma of magnetic field reversals.

    Oceanic crust becomes magnetized by the magnetic field that exists as the crust forms from magma. As it cools, tiny crystals of magnetite that form within the magma become aligned with the existing magnetic field and then remain that way after all of the rock has hardened, as shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{4}\). Crust that is forming today is being magnetized in a “normal” sense, but crust that formed 780,000 to 900,000 years ago, in the interval between the Brunhes and Jaramillo normal periods, was magnetized in the “reversed” sense.

    Chapter 9 has a discussion of Earth’s magnetic field, including where and how it is generated and why its polarity changes periodically.

    Figure \(\PageIndex{4}\) Depiction of the formation of magnetized oceanic crust at a spreading ridge. Coloured bars represent periods of normal magnetism, and the small capital letters denote the Brunhes, Jaramillio, Olduvai, and Gauss normal magnetic periods (see Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\)).

    Magnetic chronology can be used as a dating technique because we can measure the magnetic field of rocks using a magnetometer in a lab, or of entire regions by towing a magnetometer behind a ship or an airplane. For example, the Juan de Fuca Plate, which lies off of the west coast of B.C., Washington, and Oregon, is being and has been formed along the Juan de Fuca spreading ridge (Figure \(\PageIndex{5}\)). The parts of the plate that are still close to the ridge have normal magnetism, while parts that are farther away (and formed much earlier) have either normal or reversed magnetism, depending on when the rock formed. By carefully matching the sea-floor magnetic stripes with the known magnetic chronology, we can determine the age at any point on the plate. We can see, for example, that the oldest part of the Juan de Fuca Plate that has not subducted (off the coast of Oregon) is just over 8 million years old, while the part that is subducting underneath Vancouver Island is between 0 and about 6 million years old.

    Figure \(\PageIndex{5}\) The pattern of magnetism within the area of the Juan de Fuca Plate, off the west coast of North America. The colored shapes represent parts of the sea floor that have normal magnetism, and the magnetic time scale is shown using the same colors. The blue bands represent Brunhes, Jaramillo, and Olduvai; the green represents Gauss; and so on. (Note that in this diagram, sea-floor magnetism is only shown for the Juan de Fuca Plate, although similar patterns exist on the Pacific Plate.)
    Exercise 8.4 Magnetic dating

    The fact that magnetic intervals can only be either normal or reversed places significant limits on the applicability of magnetic dating. If we find a rock with normal magnetism, we can’t know which normal magnetic interval it represents, unless we have some other information.

    Using Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\) for reference, determine the age of a rock with normal magnetism that has been found to be between 1.5 and 2.0 Ma based on fossil evidence.

    How about a rock that is limited to 2.6 to 3.2 Ma by fossils and has reversed magnetism?

    See Appendix 3 for Exercise 8.4 answers.

Joe Biden Reportedly Will Keep Trump’s Sanctions on Chinese Tech Threats

by Thomas Catenacci

President Joe Biden will reportedly keep a rule proposed by the previous administration that would allow government officials to stop some Chinese technology transactions, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Biden will allow the Commerce Department to impose the rule even as his administration continues its broad review of former President Donald Trump’s outstanding executive orders related to China, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.

“Trustworthy information and communications technology and services are essential to our national and economic security and remain a top priority for the Biden/Harris administration,” a Commerce Department representative told the WSJ.

The rule, which dates back to a November 2019 Trump executive order, enables Commerce Department officials to shoot down technology-related transactions with Chinese entities determined to pose a national security threat to the U.S. The Commerce Department rule will take effect on March 22, according to the Federal Register.

Under the proposed rule, the secretary of commerce will “identify, assess, and address certain transactions” between U.S. entities and foreign entities that involve communications technology and “pose an undue or unacceptable risk,” according to the Federal Register.

Biden nominated Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo to head the Commerce Department. The Senate has yet to vote on her confirmation.

Several business groups have condemned the Trump-era rule, strongly urging the Biden administration to reject it. The Business Roundtable, a group consisting of large corporations like Amazon, Citigroup and Walmart called the rule “unworkable” in January, the WSJ reported.

A group led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and US-China Business Council said in a letter encouraging the department to modify the rule that it would “effectively grants Commerce the independent authority to prohibit an activity after it has occurred.”

“This could create significant uncertainty in the business community, disrupt global supply chains, and make a range of trade and investment decisions very difficult,” the letter continued.

The National Taxpayers Union (NTU) echoed the business groups’ comments in a letter filed with the Commerce Department on Jan. 25.

“The only appropriate recourse is for the Department to halt implementation of the [interim final rule] and withdraw the rule,” Andrew Lautz, policy and government affairs manager of the NTU, wrote.

The rule would potentially affect 4.5 million American businesses, the Commerce Department estimated, according to the WSJ. Businesses would be forced to receive government approval for transactions related to a wide range of technologies.

Transactions involving software, technology hardware, satellite telecommunications systems, internet hosting services, and cloud-based data storage would all be regulated under the rule, according to the Federal Register.

• Phase 1 Brainspotting
    January 24, 2020 - January 26, 2020
    3:00 am - 12:00 pm

Christine Ranck, PhD, LCSW and Cynthia Schwartzberg, LCSW are Senior Brainspotting Trainers and Supervisors with over 30 years of experience in private practice, Christine in NYC and Cynthia in NYC/Atlanta. Close colleagues of Dr. David Grand, discoverer/developer of Brainspotting, they participate in a monthly consultation group with Dr. Grand. They specialize in working with survivors of profound trauma, and in creativity and performance enhancement for athletes, artists and performers, and are internationally known seminar leaders and speakers.

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with BioLateral sound, which is deep, direct, powerful yet focused and containing.

Brainspotting identifies activated eye positions designated as Brainspots. Located through either one or both eyes, Brainspots are observed from either the “Inside Window” of the clients felt sense and/or the “Outside Window” of the clients’ reflexive responses (i.e., blink, eye twitches or wobbles, pupil dilation, quick breaths, and subtle body shifts).

Students will first learn the phenomenological approach that underpins strategies for Brainspotting, followed by strategies for identifying and processing Brainspots. Attention will be given to the utilization and integration of Brainspotting into ongoing treatment, including highly dissociative clients. Brainspotting is adaptable to almost all areas of specialization.

Brainspotting provides therapists with powerful tools that enable their patients to quickly and effectively focus and process through the deep brain sources of many emotional, somatic and performance problems.

21 CE credits will be available for this course. Credit Hours administered by R. Cassidy $30.

Russia claims the capture of Lysychansk and the “liberation” of the Luhansk region
The situation on the map

The context

  • The capture of Lysychansk would allow the Russian army to advance towards Sloviansk, about sixty kilometers to the west, already under fire from Russian artillery, and Kramatorsk, another large city in the Donbass whose inhabitants live to the sound of bombardments and warning sirens.
  • Alexander Lukashenko accuses Ukraine of firing missiles at Belarus. According to the Belarusian president, an ally of Russia, his army shot down missiles fired from Ukraine earlier this week. This statement comes amid speculation about Minsk’s growing involvement in the conflict.
  • In the Donetsk region, Russian shelling on Saturday killed two people and injured three civilians in the city of. Among the injured are two children, aged four and seven. In Kharkov, second city in the country, located in the northeast, missiles hit a district of the city on Saturday without causing any casualties, as well as the local tractor factory where troops and equipment of the 10e Ukrainian mountain assault brigade. Near Mykolaiv, in southern Ukraine, the Russian army reached 39 command centers and two ammunition depots.
  • In Kremenchuk, the work of clearing the rubble of the shopping center destroyed on June 27 has been completed. According to the Ukrainian rescue services, 21 people were killed and 66 injured. Twenty-nine body fragments were also found.
  • The Russians control about 19.2% of Ukrainian territory, or 1,500 square kilometers more than last month, according to Ukraine War Map, which maps military movements and Russian advances in Ukraine since the start of the conflict. Before February 24, Russia controlled barely 8% of Ukrainian territory. In his evening address, Volodymyr Zelensky referred to 2,610 towns and villages “under Russian occupation”. But, since the beginning of the war, on February 24, the Ukrainian army is “managed to free 1,027”he assured.
