Trailers You Might Have Missed … (Oct 8-14)

I am currently writing this post from my parent’s place in Vienna as I am spending a sort of long weekend here. Aside from preparation for this, I also managed to sprain my ankle on Friday (the way it happened was really dumb, but I am fine) and that kept me a little preoccupied to say the least. That’s all I have to say about my glaring absence from this blog, here are your trailers:

Let’s be real, this doesn’t give us much except for nostalgia for the original soundtrack yet, so I am going to reserve judgment.

Time Freak

It reminds me of old movies and seems lame in so many ways, but I think I want to watch it?

There’s definitely potential here!

Ben Is Back

This is stressful in a way and I am not even a mother.

I still feel like I should maybe catch up on these movies … or at least Split? I don’t even know …

The Best of Enemies

Taraji P. Henson AND Sam Rockwell? Count me in!

Here and Now

I thought this was like the HBO show but nope.

The Christmas Chronicles

I have a feeling they saw how well Christmas movies worked last year and then they decided to make this.

TV Shows

Best. Worst. Weekend. Ever.

This looks ridiculously corny.

Is this like a real-life version of Fame?

Light as a Feather

Creepiness and witches are having a big comeback on TV.

The Kominsky Method

It’s like Grace & Frankie for dudes?

The Little Drummer Girl

Park Chan Wook and John Le Carre sounds like a nice combo.

Siren (Season 2)

Since I never watched the first season, I have no thoughts on this.

What are you watching? What is on your watchlist? Tell me all about it in the comments below!

  1. Thoughts:
    1. Aladdin: I’ll need a bit more before I decide whether or not I want to watch this. Though I do hope they do explore the possible consequences of putting someone with no leadership or political experience in line to be leader of an entire nation in the new film. They totally skipped over that in the original film.
    2. Glass: Definitely check out Unbreakable and Split. Believe me, they are very good.
    3. Light as a Feather: I’m in.

  2. I’ve heard about The Little Drummer Girl and it sounds interesting. I’ve seen the trailer and it looks really good, plus the cast for this is great also. I usually try to read the book for tv adaptations first, but I’m probably going to just end up watching this and skipping the book.

    I saw about half the first season of Sirens. It was okay. Actually reading this reminded me I never first the first season yet, so thanks, LoL.

    So far my favorite new comedy of the fall season is Single Parents on ABC, and favorite new drama is You on Lifetime. I read the book beforehand and the adaptation is pretty perfect with a few changes here and there, but it still really works for the story. I also have been liking the new CBS drama God Friended Me.

    It’s not new but the first episode for the season premiere of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was so good. So bummed the show is ending after this season. I’m kind of in a bit of denial about it ending, LoL, it’s still just so good.

    • I don’t think Le Carre’s books are for me in general as it’s not a genre I enjoy reading, but watching it seems more interesting to me.
      I haven’t really been able to watch many new shows, but I am happy to see you excited. I did check out God Friended Me and it gave me distant vibes of Joan of Arcadia, which I used to love in my teens.

  3. I agree with you about reserving judgement on Aladdin. I’m not confident in Guy Ritchie as a director, but I hope that Aladdin is quality!

    Be proud of me cause I have finally started watching the Punisher!

    Hope your ankle heals up nicely.

  4. Yeah there’s not a lot to go on from that Aladdin teaser trailer. It’s funny how there was a phase of no Christmas movies coming out for ages (or maybe that was just me) and now there’s this. And yeah I’ve noticed the return of creepy/witchy things too.
    I hope your ankle gets better quickly!

Prep Your Children for a Move with These 17 Tips - LKC and Redfin

Prep Your Children for a Move with These 17 Tips
December 10, 2020 by Julia Weaver

Moving is an exciting life event, but it can still be stressful – for you and your kids. Your children can feel especially scared and nervous about the changes that are approaching. Whether you’re just moving down the street or moving across the country from Atlanta, GA to Portland, OR, leaving a house can feel like a loss to your children. That’s why we’ve turned to the experts for tips on how to prepare your kids for moving and how to make the transition easier on them.

Acknowledge your children’s feelings
Moving is a big transition for kids (and parents). Some kids will be able to give voice to their feelings. But, be on the lookout for behavior changes like testing limits, trouble with sleep, or extra tantrums and moodiness. Help you kids label their feelings and make guesses at how they might be feeling. You can even express how hard moving is for you to let them know you accept and are not afraid of their big feelings. You want to listen and will love them even if you need to set limits on their behavior.” – Evelyn Nichols, Preschool Director, Parent Educator, faculty at City College of San Francisco, Mighty Bambinis

Have an open dialogue about the move
Talk to your children about the move. Let them be part of the process. Make it fun! Make it familiar. Sometimes the moving experience can be just as stressful for children, as it is for parents. The first thing I try to do is get the kids bedroom unpacked and settled as quickly as possible, to aid in the child feeling comfortable and safe. -Ruka Curate, Owner of Tiny Treasures Nanny Agency

Give your children something to look forward to
Choose three things that the kids find familiar near their former home, and search online for their locations near your intended neighborhood or new home (i.e. library, playground, coffee shop). Share photos with your children, and point to these places on a map so they have this to look forward to, and to ease their anxiety about the move.  – Emily Dills, Founder & Policy Advocate of Seattle Nanny Network

Say your farewell’s and welcome the next chapter with open arms
Acknowledge and validate your child’s feelings and let them know that whatever they think or feel is okay. Whether it be sad, excited, or a mix of many emotions. Set aside a time to intentionally say goodbye to your current house and create a ritual to mindfully welcome your new home into your family’s life. You can do this with art, a special meditation or dance, or by taking pictures and sharing stories. Model acceptance of change and show them how new opportunities await. – Heather Horrell, Owner and Founder of Grow Family Wellness

Research your local nanny options
Make sure to reach out to the best local nanny agency to learn what the average hourly rates are in the area and how long it will take to find the nanny who will be most suited to your position and your family’s needs. You’ll want to work with an agency that listens to you and will partner with you in this most important search. We recommend looking for an agency that is a member of the Association of Premier Nanny Agencies. – White House Nannies

Don’t be afraid of hiring help
If you are moving with an infant, you may feel like you are juggling many things and your own well-being is being compromised in the meantime. Postpartum Doulas and Newborn Care Specialists are able to be an extra set of hands throughout your entire moving process and can make the transition easier for you and your baby – even if you are moving out of state. – Mary Pope, Owner of Oh Baby! Kansas City

Plan the moving day
Parents must make an important decision about whether the kids should be there when the moving trucks (or helpers) arrive. There is no one right answer. However, being there can be incredibly exciting. It can also be helpful for the children to see their house empty and realize that their home is now a shell and the family is taking everything they have to their new home.  It’s important to remember that if they are helping on moving day that the kids have a responsibility to do. It can be as simple as overlooking the checklist or to help clean up. Just allowing them to be a part can help a lot with them making the move. – Pooh Bear’s Daycare

Use toys to help your children visualize their time in the new home
When moving across state lines or just down the road, it’s important to help kids feel like they are part of the process. Take a toy they are attached to, maybe their favorite teddy or a special blanket, and take photos of the object having fun in the new space. Maybe the toy is taking a bubble bath in the new tub, or gardening in the new yard. Have fun with it, the possibilities are endless. Then, show the pictures to your child and explain to them how they are going to have an amazing time in their new space too. If you don’t have access to the new home yet, you can always take pictures in similar locations, it’s the story and spending time together that counts. – Vanessa Tomchik, Founder of Lighthouse Kids Company

Create a visual countdown calendar
We have used a picture calendar for our kids to create visual excitement and see how many days are left until the big move, along with the space to expect when they arrive at our new home. This allowed both a visual connection/countdown with a little control over the timing and a familiar space once they walked in the door. –CEO Allison Dakdouk of Pink Nannies

Avoid changes in sleep patterns by creating a sleep plan
Moving can be disruptive for kids’ sleep patterns. As adults, we often forget that a small change to our bedroom – what it looks and sounds like – is not a small change to our little ones. In reality, these small differences can significantly impact their sleep patterns. Help everyone prepare for a move by knowing your children’s natural sleep behavior, which can be predicted by genetics. SneakPeek Traits DNA Test helps you prepare by understanding your children’s natural sleep behavior based on their genetics, so you can create the sleep plan that’s best for them, and you. – SneakPeek Traits

Combat stress with laughter
Avoid sleep disturbances in your new home by establishing healthy sleep routines on night one. Fight off the stress hormones released during the move by using laughter. Help your child combat move-related stress by finding opportunities for laughter while unpacking boxes together, reminiscing on memories, etc. – Sleep Baby

Stay connected with their previous nanny
Families relocating often experience a “break up” with their current nanny when their caregiver is unable to move with the family. The ideal situation occurs when the nanny can travel with the family to their new home and continue working through the transition process. If that isn’t possible, explain to your children that their nanny can remain an important part of their lives. They can exchange birthday and holiday cards, and have Facetime dates or regular Zoom calls. If both parties work together, the relationship between nannies and their charges can truly last a lifetime. It’s not unusual for us to hear from nannies that are still in touch with the “children” they cared for 5, 10, or even 20 years ago. – Wee Care Nanny Agency

Help your children get settled in
Make sure you give your children plenty of time and attention because it’s an enormous change for them. Play in their new bedrooms to promote comfort and familiarity. At night, babies, preschoolers, and even school-age children might want some extra reassurance as they acclimate to new surroundings, so sit in their room or by the door at bedtime. Don’t forget a night-light and a few practice runs at finding the bathroom. – The Sleep Lady

Connect with your kids’ new teachers before the first day
Keep track of your kids’ school laptops and materials during the move. Remember, it wasn’t their decision to move, so it’s reasonable for you to take the lead in safeguarding your children’s learning materials. If your kids will be attending a new school, spend time connecting them with their new teachers prior to the move. It will cut down on any first-day jitters and make the transition much smoother. – Seattle Tutoring Services

Get help from a nanny while you settle in
If possible, bring your nanny with you, at least for the first few weeks. A familiar face and someone to help wrangle the kids and make sure their needs are met, while you’re juggling all of the moving logistics can be a true life-saver. If you don’t have a nanny or yours can’t make the trip, look to APNA to find a reputable agency in your new location to help provide you with some temporary care while you unpack. – Westside Nannies

Find a reputable preschool to make your children feel safe
We’ve found that many parents research and speak to preschools long before they move. We offer a picture of our physical classroom, a picture of the group of children in the class along with the teachers pictured. Sometimes, we even offer a short welcome video with the child’s name on a welcome sign. For new parents of infants, we provide a short video with the baby’s primary caregiver speaking because babies develop a sense of comfort when the voices they hear around them are familiar. Feeling a sense of security is very important at any age and when children feel safe, then they can learn and play. – Kim Vargas, Owner of The Vine Preschool

Make time for your children during the moving process
I encourage parents to put their children’s favorite blanket or stuffed animal in a safe place during the move. And, find a way to spend time with your kids one on one after you move. It can work wonders for them to feel secure. This is challenging as parents because we are exhausted from moving, but it will pay dividends with their behavior and mindset. – Mom Genius

Once upon a time it was pretty clear what you were getting when you bought a Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone – it would be an expensive phone with a big screen, a big battery, a fast processor, and support for Samsung’s S-Pen digital stylus.

But as smartphone screens have gotten larger (and prices higher), the only thing that really sets recent Galaxy Note phones apart from recent Galaxy S models is the pen. So rather than maintain two different lines of phones, rumor has it that next year Samsung will just bring the S-Pen to the Galaxy S21 and scrap the Galaxy Note altogether.

One potential down side? It’s not clear that you’ll be able to dock the pen in the phone when you’re not using it. But the upside is that Samsung can use the space that a pen garage would take up to include a larger battery.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20

  1. Good news is it looks like according to the specs that they’ve integrated various connectivity technologies into the controllers to elimate latency that was a problem on the original version.

  2. Not sure what the angry comments calling clickbait are about. One of the topics covered is rumours of samsung stopping the Note line of devices which would mean goodbye to Galaxy Notes. It could have been phrased as “Samsung killing flagship phones???!!! You won’t believe it!!!” which would have been clickbaity

      My best guess is that this article seems to have been picked up by Google’s “Discovery” feature, which means it as shown as suggested content to numerous people who are not familiar with this site and probably were not expecting a roundup of recent tech news with links to the source articles.

  3. I hope you get a OneGX Pro LTE for review. Interested in the non-gaming parts of your review: US LTE (hopefully Verizon), out of the box Linux experience (including USB Type-C and HDMI video out).

    I also wonder if they’re going to provide a different color besides the bluish OneGX1. I prefer the black/dark gray renders.

    1. Hoping to see non-gaming reviews of the LTE version as well. Thinking of getting it when it shows up on Amazon and shipped directly by Amazon.

      It seems the OneGX1 has made it to being fulfilled/shipped by Amazon now. Took maybe around a couple months when it was finally available to be shipped (from China) to when it’s fulfilled by Amazon shipping.

      1. I was going to buy the OneGX1 LTE from Amazon over the holiday since it was shipping via Amazon Prime but I ended up getting distracted and now I see this. I guess I’ll wait. If they say it’s going to be “released” in December and going buy the OneGX1 delays since its “release”, it might be available for Amazon Prime shipping maybe in Spring. I don’t mind waiting that long.

        Hoping for a black color option.

Dalgona Coffee

Creamy Sweet Dalgona Coffee

Serves: 2 people

Preparation: 5 minutes or 20 minutes if whisking by hand

Total: 5 minutes

  • Instant coffee – 2 tbsp
  • Granulated sugar – 2 tbsp
  • Hot water – 2 tbsp
  • Oat milk – 2 glasses

  1. Whisk the coffee, sugar and water together with a hand mixer or milk frother on high speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks. This will take around 5 minutes or less. You can whisk it manually by hand, which takes about 20 minutes. Be prepared though for a tired arm.
  2. You can warm some milk in a pot and pour into two glasses.
  3. Spoon some of the mixture on top and serve.
  4. Alternatively pour your milk over ice and put the mixture on top. This is lovely on a warm day.

  • Try using different types of milk like coconut, oat, soy, dairy or almond. We used oat milk which complimented the coffee.
  • You could also put it on top of your favourite Irish cream liqueur.
  • You could also sprinkle with cocoa powder or cinnamon.

A few years ago, I was a frequent traveler to the South of France from London. On July 14, 2016, a terrorist drove a car into a crowded town square in Nice. I had dozens of people reach out to me, concerned that I was in Nice at the time. After the incident, a had a lot of people ask me if I planned to cancel future travel to Provence and the surrounding areas. My answer was a resounding “No.” I will continue to travel to France. In fact, I will continue to travel a lot of places people perhaps think I shouldn’t. That people perhaps think are dangerous. That people tell me I have no business going to on my own. To that I say: Thank you for your concern. The universe has my back. Please allow me to indulge in this travel reflection.

On Expansion

My family has been in Alabama since approximately the late 1790s, and most of them are still there. While I have relatives in a few other places: Georgia, Colorado, Arizona, the majority of my family remains in Alabama for generations. When I was a child, I dreamed of moving to New York City. I was raised in my early years in a small Southern Alabama town called Dothan, and when we would come to Birmingham, I thought it was the biggest city I had ever seen. When I first went to New York at age 13, I was in awe. I didn’t know how so much could be packed into such a small area.

I don’t know where the desire to travel, see and do came from. When I was a teenager, my grandmother said “What do I wanna go to Europe for? I’ve never wanted to go to Europe.” I was astonished. I dreamed of seeing every European country, of experiencing cultures older than American culture, of learning languages, and eating all kinds of food from every corner of the earth.

I always wanted more than just living where I had always lived. My mother sometimes accuses me of this making me uppity. Too good for Alabama. That’s not it. I just have always wanted to understand more about this great big world than what I have seen in the past.

When I moved to San Francisco for pharmacy school, my family was (for the most part) horrified. They could not believe that I was choosing to move that far away from home. That I would do something so different. I don’t know why, I always felt the astonishing desire to expand my surroundings.

On Perceived Danger

Since my travels started in my early teens, and really picked up in my early 20s, so many people ask me if I ever get nervous traveling. I can’t say that I never get nervous traveling: I was on a plane that almost went down in 2015. Not fun. I have rounded alleyways at 3 am to find throngs of 6’5″ men in Amsterdam. About-face. I have been on my own for weeks in foreign lands. I have been in groups of people who barely spoke English, where I was the only American, where I was the only white person, where I was the only woman, or the only person without her head covered.

In all of this, I choose to (mostly) ignore what most people see as danger. I have met so many amazing people throughout my travels, and I have lost the ability to see race, ethnicity, clothing, facial hair, religion, or even angry words as a threat. Don’t get me wrong, I do my very best to make good decision

On Choices

What I have learned from all of this is that I choose to believe that people in this world are generally good. I choose to believe that we are all children of a powerful and loving universe, God, divine. I choose to see race, while accepting that we are all just variations on a theme in the eyes of God. I choose to acknowledge clothing as a representation of culture, and not as a threat to me.

Basically my travel reflection is to walk through this world with my eyes open. I share love and peace as often as possible. I pray that the love I give brings love back to me, and amplifies love all around the world.

How do you choose to share love with those around you?

Love this travel reflection? Want more glimpses into my mind? Check out my reflection on 2018.

Unde au ajuns milioane de euro ale concernului EADS, pentru un contract din România

Common journalistic investigation by Der Spiegel and the Romanian Center for Investigative Journalism.

To secure a contract in Romania, the EADS corporation paid millions of euro to people close to the Secret Services. Was this money used to “appease” some politicians?

In Hamburg, there is a little story about the select street where Henry R. lives, a story which seems to be very well suited for this character. They say that a former senator saw to it that the footpath following the shore of Alster river, where people usually take walks, makes a sudden detour. It does it so that the highly scenic domains don’t lose the charm of their contact with the river. And, also, so that the senator and his neighbors would not be disturbed by the “people” through the living room window. Here a small detour, there a little modification and always in compliance with the public point of view. Things probably happened just like in front of his own door in a situation where Henry R. played an important role. If the suspicions of the Munich prosecutors are correct, the EADS corporation, specialized in aerospace and military equipment, used a company owned by Henry R. to secure a big public contract in Romania, by using bribes.

The name of the corporation appears in an investigation report

This is the reason why the name of the corporation appears in an investigation report from last year, concerning their headquarters in Ottobrunn. According to the report, EADS allegedly transferred money through the company to the Romanian decision-makers, to secure rapid payments, worth millions, to EADS. The investigations are directed against the four managers of the corporation, among which the head of the Defense Department, Stefan Zoller (Spiegel 50/ 2014). The charge: “They at least had knowledge of illegal payments”. Nothing has yet been proven, but if we are to believe the prosecutors, a second Romanian firm proved to be extremely useful in “greasing” the mechanism for obtaining next generation equipment for monitoring the Romanian borders. And, as shown in the common investigation of Der Spiegel and the Romanian Center for Investigative Journalism, the manufacturer Airbus wasn’t at all reluctant to weave a relation with the secret services.

The fact that EADS was investigated by the prosecutors in Tom Enders’s era, the former head of the corporation, was not a first. For years, the prosecutors have been investigating in Germany and Austria the possible “informal payments” for the sale of Eurofighter airplanes to Austria. Are they isolated cases who escaped the compliance department? Or did the corporation now called Airbus consciously turned a blind eye because there is a “bribe system”? In this case, two anonymous tips gave details, ever since 2008 and 2011, concerning bribes. The first tip even reached Wolfgang Schauble, the Minister of the Interior at that time. Since 2013, the prosecutors in Munich have been sifting through Airbus’ Military Technical Department, called Cassidian at that time. One modus operandi, two different locations: in Saudi Arabia, the corporation allegedly paid 13 million euro in 2011 and 2012 to secure a contract worth 1.7 billion euro for the electronic border fence.

Der Spiegel

EADS and the inconveniences in Romania

In Romania, things were much more complicated than in the sheik-ruled country. Apparently, EADS as faced with the inconveniences of democracy in the alleged bribing process – a shift in high-level leadership, during which the well-kept contacts broke down. When the Romanian Government signed its first contract with EADS, in 2004, the Prime Minister was a social democrat – Adrian Năstase. Chancellor of Germany Gerhard Schroder was present in Bucharest, on the occasion of the signing and promoted EADS’ success as a state event. 3150 km of border was supposed to be secured by the corporation, of which 1870 km once Romania joined the EU in 2007, in order to secure the outer borders of “Fortress Europe”. The manner in which EADS obtained this contract was not made public. Months later, the Romanian press revealed the fact that this contract, signed by Năstase in favor of EADS, did not comply with the legislation in force on public tenders. DNA, who is investigating the case, starts from the assumption that EADS bought the contract through a network of companies, among which the giant Fujitsu – Siemens wouldn’t be a stranger and apparently played an important part.

It appears that EADS paid at least four million euro to the IT corporation, and half of this money found its way to two P.O. boxes in Liechtenstein and Holland. Subsequently, at least as the prosecutors suspect, the money was transferred to the Romanian state apparatus. Both Năstase and Fujitsu refused to make any comments, because the proceedings are still undergoing. However, regardless of how comfortable the contract might have seemed to EADS – the decisive questions was how much was that piece of paper worth after December 2004, when the country was ruled by conservative politicians: Prime Minister Călin Popescu – Tăriceanu and President Traian Băsescu. The latter was cited in one of the telegrams sent by US Embassy in Bucharest, with the statement that, from his point of view, the EADS contract was “corrupt”. And it took the Government only a few months to ask for a renegotiation of the contract, refusing to release the first installment of 650 million euro. By the end of 2005, an agreement was made with EADS on an installment of 525 million euro. The deal had been saved for EADS, although in “harsher” conditions.

During this time, it seems that the two companies took over the maintenance of local political and financial relations for EADS. One of them seems to be controlled by Henry R. from Hamburg. The main purpose was ensuring the constant flow of payments for the installments to EADS. This person, originally from Romania and immigrated to Germany in 1973, bearing a German passport, developed in the 90’s, together with another two partners, the Midocar group of companies. According to the company’s own statements, they are the main VW and Audi importers for the Romanian market. It is, however, very conspicuous that Midocar has contractual relation with the state’s security and intelligence institutions. Apparently, the company sold hundreds of cars to the Ministries of Interior Affairs, Defense and even to the Ministry of Justice – as well as to the Secret Services. One of the owners, Tudor G., apparently had personal relations with the heads of the secret services, dating even since the rule of Dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. In 2007, he was indicted, together with a SRI general, of gifting the latter with an expensive VW, as reward for public contracts. The proceedings opened against G. were concluded in 2013 with a suspended sentence, not for corruption, but for financial fraud. The general was convicted for accepting bribes.

The third associate of Midocar, Silviu P., was the co-founder of a lobby union representing the automobile importers, whose president was Prime Minister Tăriceanu, who, after the end of his term, became the honorary president. When Midocar Consulting was involved in the renegotiation of the contract, they had no clue as to what border security involved. But it seems that this didn’t matter for EADS. What mattered were the good connections Midocar had at the time. Vasile Blaga, the former Minister of Interior Affairs at the time declared that he was shocked when he found out that his subordinates didn’t’ negotiate the contract inside the Ministry of Interior Affairs and not even at EADS headquarters, but in the Midocar building, a company which didn’t even have an official role in the development of the contract. Unofficially, however, it seems that they had a decisive role. As revealed in the Investigation Report concluded by the Munich prosecutors, EADS paid in 2006 and 2011 four million euro to this company. The investigators believe that a large portion of this money was bribe money meant for dismantling the resistance of the new negotiation partners.

The EADS money got to Romania

More EADS money flowed to a second company in Romania. Another one who had no idea about border security, but rather about crossing them, mainly in the commercial sector. ICAR Business Research SRL collected 2.2 million euro, according to the data presented by the investigators, in 2005 – 2009 from EADS. For what? The investigators assume that it was for bribes. One thing is certain: the owners of ICAR also had the best relations with the Romanian Government and the Secret Services. The owner of ICAR, Cătălin Harnagea was, from 1197 and until late 2000, the SIE director, and his partner, Dorin Marian was, in late 90’s, the security adviser and coordinator of secret services for the former president. It seems that these were reasons enough for EADS to conclude with their company a consultancy contract for a period of four years, starting with 2005, although Marian and Harnagea had only taken over the company and it was only starting out as a public opinion research institute. Marian and Harnagea vehemently deny ever paying dirty bribe money. Harnagea however confirms having met with two Ministers of Interior Affairs and other officials to support the EADS cause. The former head of Foreign Intelligence Services also argues the fact that he was a close friend of Prime Minister Tăriceanu. He is now the president of the Senate, and Harnagea works for him as a security adviser. The both deny, however, of ever discussing the EADS contract.

According to Tăriceanu’s statements, he wasn’t even ever involved in the development of this contract, as it was not within his attributions. The two Romanian owners of Midocar refused to make any statements regarding the EADS deal. Their partner in Hamburg, Henry R. admits of being involved in Midocar Consulting and of knowing about the investigations conducted against EADS. He stated that he is only involved in the automobile business of the Midocar group and that he has no relation with the consultancy activity performed for EADS. He also declared that he didn’t have any contacts with the Secret Services. EADS refused to make any statements regarding the above-mentioned deal. The justification: the internal investigations, conducted by a hired company Freshfields, are not yet concluded. The former German manager of the company, Zoller, denies any accusation of corruption. He says that personally, he had no knowledge of any informal payments. A single person is not at all surprised of the suspicions of the Munich prosecutors: former President of Romania, Traian Băsescu. No, he wouldn’t be surprised if it was proven that dirty money flowed from Midocar and ICAR. The fact that DNA verified last year the residences of the Midocar and ICAR associates, Harnagea and Marian, fits perfectly the described picture. The fact that civil servants in Romania would be clean doesn’t fit this reality.

Resumes – It Is Not Their Job To Care, It Is Your Job To Make Them Care

bored professionals

Once upon a time, it was standard format to have an opening statement on your resume stating what you want.  It went something like, “Amazing professional looking for the opportunity to grow and contribute to a progressive company….”

The problem with that today is twofold: The people reading your resume do not believe that nor do they care what you want.

It is not their job to care about what you want.  It is your job to make them care about what you offer. The focus of this article is that opening paragraph or lead of your resume.

Your resume is not really all about you – it is about what you can do for them.  Put yourself in their position: they have a boatload of yahoos applying for the position that you are perfect for – how are they going to find you?

You have to prove yourself.  You need to grab their attention by speaking their language and driving right to what is important to them and how you are the solution to their needs.

This opening paragraph needs to grab them and their interest to continue to read the rest of your resume.  To identify your value and peak enough interest for a conversation.

When I write resumes, this opening is the last thing I write.  I do a comprehensive analysis, review and composition of the work history to get a full understanding of my clients’ value.  I know in detail and have provided in demonstrative form their value.

Now I know what I am selling about them.  I know their value.  From that I can write to that in a condensed, attention getting manner.  It is the summary of the whole.

When writing your opening, analyze yourself and what it is about you that you are selling.

What do you bring to the table?  What are the most important qualities, skills, attributes that you bring that are of most value to them?  What sets you apart?

Often I see an opening stating that the individual has 15 years’ experience – is that the most important element?  It could be an important contributing factor, yet length of time in an organization or industry does not equate to quality or value.  What did you do in those 15 years, how is that a benefit?

That opening paragraph is your answer to their most important question: ‘What can you do for me?’

Do not let them assume.  It is not enough to say you are familiar with something, knowledge of it or have managed it.  You are assuming that they know that means you are good at this thing.  Telling the reader that you have managed a large group of people or locations does not mean you are good at it.  It means that was what your job was, not your value.

What was the value of you managing these people or locations?  How did you do it?  Who benefited and how – the individuals, teams, clients and company; was their improved performance, morale, communication, commitment, quality, service, revenues, opportunities – and what did that translate to?

Tell the reader not only what you do but why that is important.  You can manage a team but why is that important, what was the value?  Start with the meager ‘manage team of 50’ and integrate the value: aligned the company vision with short and long term goals engaging the team; reduced turnover, improved performance, realized year over year record setting profits, streamlined processes for reduced costs, increased efficiency and improved customer satisfaction.

Do not hold back here, you are selling yourself so go for it.  If you have that very common and huge stumbling block of that little voice in your head saying you are bragging, put the proof in the pudding.  Instead of saying “I’m great at this” and leaving it at that – which is a bragging type perspective; tell them what you do, how you do it and the value received.

When you simply describe what and how you do with the benefit included you are no longer bragging, you are explaining.  This is also demonstrating.  Therefore it sounds confident, not cocky, and you can relax because you are simply telling the story of what you do and how.  It helps shut that little voice in your head up. You are describing and demonstrating not bragging and stating.

You have the goods to go after this position, now it is your job to prove it to the reader.  Think about what is important to them, demonstrate it by describing what you do and the value it provides others and you are well on your way to that conversation about when can you start.

A Nervous, Ill-humored Parrot

We are meant to read Draft #4 by John McPhee for the Bedrosian Book Club, but we’re scheduled up on books, I’m not sure when we are going to get to it, and I fanatically love writing about writing. I once remember–I don’t know what writer it was, but John Updike comes to mind–a writer who noted that writers are always asking other writers about their process, which always really comes down to the question “Are you as crazy as I am?” He felt he didn’t need that question answered. I find that I very much do need an answer to that question.

So when I got my hands on Draft #4: On the Writing Process, I put it aside, telling myself that I would wait to read it when we were scheduled, but it called to me, and bore a hole in my forehead wanting me to read it, just like ice cream calls to me from inside the fridge. And so I devoured it over the weekend.

There are so many gems in this little volume I have to share:

Writers come in two principal categories: those who are overtly insecure and those who are covertly insecure.

What spoke to me most this time out was McPhee’s openness about how much he hates to talk about what he is working on. I hate talking about work in progress. I’ve hated it since I was a consultant, and that’s a really bad setting for this particular quirk because nobody trusts you to write in secrecy, and you have to check in with a team constantly, and all of them are blathering about the writing, and touching it and commenting on it, and ruining your life that way.

This problem continued through graduate school. Now, Randy Crane, bless him, didn’t really seek out conversations with me. But Brian Taylor is super verbal and collaborative: he loved to talk with his graduate students about research, and I became churlish about it. This is highly, highly dysfunctional, and it’s all my fault. It became one of the many things leading me to neurotic and difficult as a graduate student. Brian good-heartedly taught a class on writing one’s dissertation proposal which was agony for me every single week. There were only two students in it, and the other student was a courteous, pleasant, non-insane person. And me. It didn’t help that by that time, one of my steadying influences, Jeff Brown, now at FSU, had graduated. Jeff had a very good way of dealing with my nonsense, and without him, grad school got harder for me.

I won’t relate all the embarrassing stories of what I did in the class to avoid talking about my project because these are terrible. Brian and my classmate suffered mightily. But I tried. I really, really did. And I produced a terrible proposal that Randy rejected out of hand.

The academy is a tough place for people who don’t like to talk about what they are working on. People are always asking, you have to tell people what you are going to do on your sabbatical application, you have to report your plans for the next year. It’s viewed as precious and self-indulgent not to be able to talk about your projects.

But I really, really can’t. I obviously can, but it hurts my thinking and writing a lot. God, if there is one thing I could change about my academic career, it would have been telling anybody that I was working on a book. I should have said nothing. Telling people upped the stakes for me: if people know about it, I have to deliver it, and now that it’s taken awhile, it has to be good. It doesn’t help that my colleagues, save for David Sloane (endlessly patient, bless him) and Martin Krieger, have not been terribly supportive. I get remarks like “That book is taking awhile–cha!” accompanied by a little snort that says “you aren’t fooling me; you’re not working on anything.” And “I’m just not sure you are a productive book writer.” The one university press editor I was talking to about it made a mistake, thinking he was talking about somebody else’s book (but it was apparent he was thinking about mine) and referred to it, sarcastically, as a “supposedly world-changing book.” I stopped interacting with him shortly after, which is a shame because he is an amusing man, his disdain for my book idea notwithstanding. My father-in-law, a mathematician, asks “Do I dare even ask about the book?” A friend of mine asks about whether I have finished every time we get together, which is about twice a month. Another colleague sucks air between her teeth, in the same way one reacts to descriptions of car crashes, when I tell her about an interaction I had with another university press editor: “that’s not good, not good.”

Jesus slamming Christ on a cracker, people.

I don’t need this kind of help to get scared off and neurotic about a project. People looking at it makes me get anxious, and then I start to behave badly, and then because people are looking and it’s taking me a long time, that means it really does have to be great, truly great, because if it’s not great after all this time, it will establish once and for all that I am a terrible scholar, a lousy writer, and waste of oxygen on planet earth. Q.E.D. All those comments are verifying what I have already said in my head 14,000,000 times, thanks a bunch, you poopface.

It was reassuring to read McPhee’s riffs on this problem:

When I come out and walk around, bumping into friends, they tend to ask me “What are you working on?” Which is one reason I don’t often come out and walk around. I always feel like a parrot answering that question, and a nervous, ill-humored parrot if I am writing a first draft.”

One reason I’ve always wanted to keep the writing to myself is, simply, that when I get neurotic about something, there seems to be no limit of dignity that I will sacrifice in the search for reassurance. McPhee now has two daughters, both of whom seem to represent the two, binary states I can exist in:

Jenny grew up to write novels, and at this point has published three. She keeps everything close-handed, says nothing, and reveals nothing as she goes along. I once asked her if she had been thinking about starting another book, and she said “I finished it last week.” Her sister Martha, two years younger, has written four novels. Martha calls me up nine times a day to tell me writing is impossible, that she’s not cut out to do it, that she’ll never finish what she is working on, et cetera, et cetera, and so forth and so on, and I, who am probably disintegrating a third of the way through an impossible first draft, am supposed to be the Rock of Gibraltar. A talking rock: “Just stay at it; perseverance will change things.” “You’re so unhappy you sound authentic to me.” “You can’t make a fix unless you know what is wrong.”

Those are my two states of being, all or nothing, Jenny and Martha, and a grumpy parrot with wet feathers to boot. Randy Crane,I suspect, intuited this fairly early on. He tried to be supportive of my Martha problems, but then he began to see that was a bottomless pit of need for reassurance, and he made me knock it off. And, bless his heart, he generally stayed out of my creative process: he read things I sent him, but he was either smart enough to know it wasn’t good to get me talking about it, or he was just too busy to bother. Either way, his ignoring my work let me sneak up on it, too.

So let’s talk about the books we’ve read, the movies we’ve seen, the traveling we have done, and the leaves falling from the trees, the garden, home improvements, or the sun crashing into the earth someday. I’m going to go work. On something. Maybe.

I guess I have to apologize for being quite unclear here. Sorry !

It becomes problematic if our_vector is a template ( <N,ScalarT> for
example - btw. the cross product may be a bad example since it only
applies to N == 3 ), because there is no way for this to work if the
arguments are expression objects (because you can't have both deduction
and user defined conversion at once).

The possible ways around it are:

a) The library provides the user with a way to deduce the "conceptual
type" from expression objects, or
b) friend name injection is used from inside the vector class so
our_vector is a full specialization (== a type) and not a template anymore.

The preferred solution is clearly point a, because it does not require
the vector class to know all function that want to take a vector (==
already evaluated expression in this context) as parameter.

Well, that was quite easy to guess ;-).

I just found a crasher in cairo 1.4.10 while trying to watch the
presentation Miguel linked to on Planet Gnome [1] in Swfdec.
So I grabbed libcairowrap and threw it at the problem. After throwing
away everything that did not relate to the crash, I got a small enough
result. It's attached.

Very Gifted

Regine Dubono Author Interview

Regine Dubono Author Interview

The Mom and Her Autistic Daughter details the life and hardships you encountered when caring for an autistic adult daughter. Why was this an important book for you to write?

I wanted so much to help her because the child I remembered she was was very smart, very gifted in the arts (dance, music, painting), so sensitive to your feelings, so compassionate. The drugs had turned her into a disabled monster.

There is ample discussion given to the drugs that autistic people are often prescribed. What are some common misconceptions people have about this topic?

The drugs only serve to mask symptoms and give the false impression that they are solving the problem.

Do you plan to write more books on this topic?

Yes. I will continue this fight as long as I live. My next book may be titled: “After the Respite”.

Author Links: Website | Facebook | Twitter

The Mom and her Autistic Daughter-2 by [dubono, regine]Desiree has been given a status of emergency placement and Terry is her designated ICM. Attempts to place Desiree in a DDD licensed supervised apartment are tedious and difficult for she has e-bursts and night incontinence. Her issues are personal anger, and high anxiety. And perhaps because she was prescribed anti-depressant drugs, she can become violent. Unlike parents of mentally ill young people, Dubono pulled Desiree out of the shelter in an attempt to heal her, while awaiting the DDD placement.

The Mom and her Autistic Daughter

The Mom and her Autistic Daughter-2 by [dubono, regine]

The Mom and Her Autistic Daughter by Regine Dubono is a fitting title for this book. Dubono explains the life and turmoil of Desiree, an adult with autism, and her mother. Desiree’s medicines’ effects and side effects are explored. The struggle to find Desiree a long term living arrangement becomes a source of contention between Desiree, Desiree’s mother, and her caregivers. Her mother finds it difficult to find balance for herself and her daughter while playing a deck that seems stacked against them.

The author delves into Desiree’s everyday life which feels tumultuous at best. Desiree has parts of her life she enjoys such as shopping and manicures, but everything apart from that feels tense. In working in Special Education I have found in the past that this is pretty typical of autistic children. I assume that would generally carry over into adulthood as it has with Desiree. My students have had areas they excel in and become almost obsessive about their particular interests. Anything else feels boring or daunting. Any deviation from their schedule can also cause a tailspin or meltdown. These are things that readers who have not worked with people with autism may not know and may learn from the book.

I’ve also had a bit of experience in dealing with drugs and their side effects while caring for my father. Dubono explores how drugs may “fix” one issue, but cause many more. One drug may also cause further symptoms that need to be controlled, thus producing the need for more drugs. These are frustrating waters to navigate. Readers may get more of a grasp of how many pharmaceutical companies and drug-pushing doctors work in this aspect. This part of the book is especially pertinent in today’s social climate.

Dubono’s explanation of the struggles in finding Desiree a permanent and sufficient placement especially hit home for me. Many readers who have dealt with this kind of thing will be able to sympathize with the accounts she gives. It is extremely hard to find caregivers for adults. It would be exponentially harder to find care for those who are prone to have outbursts and labelled as “difficult.” Clean and suitable facilities and genuinely caring and qualified caregivers aren’t always readily available. My family knows that from experience. Anyone who has dealt with this will find her accounts relatable.

The structure of the book feels somewhat lacking and feels repetitive at times. One letter in particular that is written by the mother is repeated almost verbatim in another part of the book. I had to flip back to make sure I hadn’t lost my place. There are quite a few grammatical and spelling errors throughout the book. There are also many abbreviations that are left unexplained. There is substance in the experiences and relationship of the mother and daughter, but the book doesn’t flow as well as I would have liked it to. I think the book would benefit greatly from an editor and proofreader.

There are important lessons to be learned here. This is a story that should be told as a cautionary tale and to help parents or guardians not feel alone in this situation. Desiree’s voice should be heard, I just think the book could use some revision and restructuring.

The Mom and Her Autistic Daughter – Trailer

A true story about a mom who decides to help her autistic daughter live a normal life, took her out of shelter and into her own home. Parents of disabled children are passionate about their love for them and their love carries into adulhood. Soon, she discovered that her daughter, after over 30 years of psychiatric treatment, 17 of them in a group home, still displayed her original symptoms only exacerbated. She started reading Thomas Zachs and Peter Breggin, and learned about the design of psychiatric drugs as instruments to get rid of undesirable populations. When her daughter refused all the drugs however she caused her symptoms to rebound, and the mom now learned about how tragic it is to even start on a psychiatric drug. Only a very slow withdrwal under an MD supervision will avoid complete deterioration of brain and body, and avoic behavior problems such as outbursts and violence.

Sevilla City Guide

Sevilla is a great vacation destination! Since it is in the South of Spain, it is cheaper than large cities like Madrid and Barcelona. The weather is amazing almost all year (except for their super hot summers). It’s even close to other cities, like Ronda, Jerez, Cadiz (where you can find some beautiful beaches) and … More Sevilla City Guide

The Struggles and Successes of Learning Another Language

For those of you who are already learning another language, I am sure you know by now that it does not magically happen overnight. Learning a language takes time and a lot of practice. There are many struggles, but nothing that feels better than those small, but impactful moments of success.

If it is possible, the best way to start learning another language is immersion. Back in 2016, I decided to move to South America and could basically say, “Donde está el baño?” and “Gracias.” This was only going to get me so far. So before heading to my new home in Santiago, Chile, I booked a one month Spanish immersion program in Sucre, Bolivia and spent a total of six weeks learning Spanish and traveling the country. And it was the best decision I ever made. It threw me into the Spanish language and forced me to communicate with my teachers and host family using new language. This experience gave me the base of the language. These types of programs are not only limited to Sucre. There are several different language schools and programs in various countries, giving you the opportunity to travel and learn where you want.

When I got to Santiago, Chile I quickly learned that the slow-paced, clear and annunciated Bolivian Spanish was pretty different from the quick, chopped and slang-heavy version of Spanish in Chile. Different countries have different dialects and to ultimately master a language, it is best to expose yourself to all types of speakers. When I first arrived in Santiago, I couldn’t understand anyone. It took me a while to get used to the new accent, but having a base in Bolivia helped me a lot.

After being in Santiago for a while, I began to learn new words, grammar and develop my listening and speaking skills. I spent a lot of time with other foreigners, but still picked up some Spanish along the way. Just when I thought I was doing o.k., I met my (now) Chilean boyfriend and began a job where I was the only foreigner. This introduced an entirely new struggle: groups. Speaking another language amongst a group of natives can be a confusing and frustrating experience. Nothing feels more awkward than not understanding why everyone is laughing at a joke or feeling too slow to contribute any commentary to a conversation. Constantly being the only foreigner in a group or natives has helped my Spanish tremendously, even though it has also made me feel very uncomfortable in some situations.

I think back and can remember not wanting to go to parties or barbecues purely because I felt anxious when thinking about the potential social dynamic and dreading the thought of possibly coming across as quiet or unfriendly. This was a new feeling for me and I wasn’t sure how to take it. These situations take a while to master and I’m still learning how to contribute and feel part of the group, but I believe exposing yourself to these experiences will ultimately better you as a person. I feel proud that I can go out on double dates and  follow and contribute to a work meeting entirely in Spanish. This is something I never dreamed of doing two years ago when I moved to South America.

Like many others, I am still in the process of learning another language and I don’t see 100 percent fluency happening by next week. But step by step, I will get there and so will anyone else who puts in the time, energy and perseverance.

Stay posted for upcoming tips & tricks of learning a language.

  1. Amazing. I’m going to be moving abroad in August and am both worried and excited by the prospect of learning a language. I mean… what if I need to speak to the local pharmacist and have nooooooo idea what to say 😂 I’m looking forward to the challenge though! However, do you think I can get by without paying for an immersion programme? And whoop for your Spanish 🙌🏼

    1. Ohh sounds exciting! Where are you moving? I don’t think it is completely necessary to do an immersion program – I just found it helpful to develop a base in the language. I think it is a good idea to do a little self-study before coming though so you can initially get around. And then you will start to pick it up quickly once you get to your new country and are exposed to the language and people!

      1. Thanks for your advice! 🙂 I tried checking out YouTube videos but I’ve not found those very helpful. I’m going to be going to Indonesia (West Java), so thought knowing a bit may be useful, though it’s completely unlike anything I’ve seen 😂

  2. We had heard before we arrived in Chile that the locals speak very fast, which didn’t surprise us. I have often thought that they probably think the same of North Americans. I couldn’t believe just how fast they do speak. We had a great time in Chile.

On Judicial Plagiarism

It is an open secret that judges sometimes plagiarize from submissions by the lawyers before them, and even from articles and books by academics.   With respect to the latter, they are often aided and abetted by their clerks—law students working with them as research assistants.

Unlike scholarly or literary cheaters, the worry about judicial plagiarists is not that they undermine the research process, violate authors’ ‘moral rights’, or steal someone’s intellectual property. Judicial plagiarism is worse than any of these. It undermines the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary. A judge who knowingly or recklessly reproduces words or arguments of others as if they were his own may not be making his own decisions. If discovered, this undermines public confidence that the judiciary can be relied on to think for itself.

Still, we know judicial plagiarism occurs. We also know why. Courts are underfunded and under-staffed; there is far too much work; many judges struggle with an impossible docket.   So the temptations to silently lift others’ work can be powerful.   Some lifting will be obvious.   A claimant will not fail to notice if a judge copies out page after page of the respondent’s pleadings, interspersing phrases like, ‘as we can clearly see’, or ‘ surely the better view is….’ But unacknowledged material that a clerk, or judge, copies without attribution from sources on Westlaw or Google is harder to spot, and can silently infiltrate judicial decisions.

This is why we should be concerned by reports of plagiarism on the part of Trump’s nominee to the US Supreme Court.  Judge Neil Gorsuch’s 2006 book, The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia , has been shown to contain passages and descriptions offered, without citation or acknowledgement, as if they were his own, but which were taken from other authors. That book was in turn based on Gorsuch’s 2004 thesis, submitted for a degree at the law school where I teach. It can only be a matter of time before someone downloads the thesis from the Oxford University Research Archive, to see whether it also contained the passages impugned in the press reports on his book.

If it did, and if Gorsuch were still an Oxford law student, he would be subject to the jurisdiction of University, which unambiguously prohibits plagiarism.  It does not matter whether silently copying others’ work is intentional or not; it does not matter whether it is done with the tolerance of those copied; it does not matter whether the passages copied are central to an argument or peripheral.  At Oxford, as at most other universities, the wrong is in the misrepresentation. It is an offence of academic dishonesty.

There is, of course, an important question of degree to attend to.  There is much worse plagiarism around, even in our universities.  And plagiarism in Gorsuch’s book has only been alleged in a few passages, though one of them is fairly extensive. But why is there any at all?  These passages seem to have survived an awful lot of scrutiny. In writing a thesis, submitting it for examination, revising it for publication, responding to editorial comments, and correcting texts and proofs there are many opportunities to spot, and correct, honest mistakes or omissions.  Indeed, it is not too late to do so even now.  So why the silence from Gorsuch and all the loud denials from his apologists?

Here at Oxford, our chief disciplinary officers, the Proctors, do not merely have a reactive role. They have broad powers they must use, not only to enforce our regulations, but to prevent future breaches of them. Why is this important? Gorsuch is no longer a member of Oxford University, so the Proctors have no enforcement jurisdiction over him. But they can and must act to prevent misconduct on the part of current students or faculty.

They should be concerned, then, that Gorsuch’s former Oxford supervisor has provided a statement to the ‘Gorsuch team’ denying any plagiarism in the book:

Having reviewed the examples provided by BuzzFeed News to the Gorsuch team, the professor who supervised Gorsuch dissertation, Emeritus Professor John Finnis of Oxford University, provided a statement to the Gorsuch team, concluding, “[I]n my opinion, none of the allegations has any substance or justification. In all the instances mentioned, Neil Gorsuch’s writing and citing was easily and well within the proper and accepted standards of scholarly research and writing in the field of study in which he and I work.”

This opinion has been widely republished and read, not only by the politicians for whom it was written, but by law students around the world.  And this opinion, coming from such an influential scholar, sends the wrong message to young lawyers and scholars.

If by ‘the field of study in which [Gorsuch] and I work,’ Professor Finnis means university research in law or legal philosophy, then his claim is unfounded. Oxford University’s regulations and guidance to students, and years of interpretation of  them by the Proctors and others, put this beyond doubt.   But perhaps Finnis means that lower standards of integrity apply to law books than to law theses? I do not think that is true either; but it is in any case it is the standards of our University that our students need to comply with, now and in the future.

For my own part, if ever I encountered plagiarism in work by one of my own students I would insist they revise their thesis to include full acknowledgement and citation, using it as a ‘teaching moment’ to explain why it is critical to get this right, especially for lawyers. Legal citation is, as they say, not exactly rocket science: misattributions or non-attributions, if not accidental, suggest a cheater seeking to gain advantage from the work of others, or someone who has contempt for academic culture.

Good judges are sensitive to the further issues at stake. In a British Columbia appeal against a trial judge’s decision that lifted wholesale from one the parties’ submissions, Mr Justice Smith wrote,

Trial judges are busy, and there can be cases… where a party’s submissions so accurately reflect the trial judge’s reasoning that nothing would be gained by postponing other pressing work in order to rewrite the reasoning and conclusions in the judge’s own words. However, judges who are tempted to prepare reasons for judgment in this way should be acutely aware they may create a perception that they did not reach their decisions independently. Such a perception would tend to undermine public confidence in the impartiality and independence of the judiciary generally and would bring the administration of justice into disrepute:

Of course, an academic book or article is not a party’s submission, but for a judge to rely on it without citation would raise similar worries.   Indeed, that case would be worse for, as I mentioned above, judicial plagiarism of that sort will be a lot harder for the parties and others to detect. Given that it can always be avoided by a mere footnote–by a moment’s attention–failure to provide one is wrong.   That is why we demand it of our students, our judges, and ourselves.

When writing as an academic, Neil Gorsuch did not have a trial judge’s excuse of the extraordinary pressures of work. He was not copying from submissions others had read, but from authors most readers would not even know. With the leisure of the ivory tower, and with no one but scholars depending on his writing, Gorsuch failed an easy, elementary test we demand of every student: acknowledge all your sources–every single one–truthfully and fully. How should we expect him to behave when the stakes, and temptations, are higher?

  1. The DPhil thesis does contain the lengthy passage taken from Kuzma that is mentioned in the Politico article (on pages 456-458).

  2. Thank you for this. I just wonder about one point: Is it really true that the University loses all of its jurisdiction, meaning it could not even revoke the degree in a serious case of plagiarism? Other universities have done so.

  3. Thanks for these thoughtful comments, and for the link to the thesis. A cursory search of the thesis shows that it contains at least some of the same plagiarized passages — it contains verbatim the problematic paragraph about esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (on p. 456). The downloadable PDF is searchable, so I assume it would be easy to find the other passages, though I haven’t done it.

  4. Though I also think that care should be exercised in blaming one with “dishonesty”. As a doctoral student, more than once I have found a passage in a “saved for later” document or folder which seemed to be mine but turned out to be someone else’s (and vice versa). Being sloppy is certainly a terrible vice but it doesn’t and shouldn’t carry the heavy weight that an accusation of dishonesty carries. Motive and intentions certainly play a role here….

    • I agree that motive and intentions play a role. You describe a case where the unattributed copying would be either accidental or negligent. The first would not sustain a charge of plagiarism at Oxford; the second might, if the negligence were gross. On the facts here, the copying appears to me either intentional or reckless. Moreover, as I say in the post, if it really was negligent, one would suppose that Gorsuch would have been the first to want to correct it as soon as it was pointed out. Perhaps his handlers have told him, and his apologists, to ignore and deny? In any event, his continued silence is disgraceful from one of our former law students.

      In any event ‘intentional’ is a tricky term in law, so thanks for your clarification.

  5. Is there any chance the degree can be revoked? I saw Germany has revoked doctorates for plagiarizing politicians. It seems to me like something Oxford might consider. It sounds like even now a full study of the dissertation has not been conducted.

    • I am not sure, and not sure whether the plagiarism in this case would warrant that. I do think it warrants requiring him to acknowledge the suppressed source and deposit a new copy doing so in the Library. First, someone will need to go through the thesis version with care. It may be cleaner, or worse, than the published version.

  6. See Gorsuch (2004, 2006) From Kuzma(1984) – Classic Copy-Paste-Edit In Color

    This uses a display scheme that’s evolved since 2010, helps make potential plagiarism and editing more obvious.
    Blue = in-order, identical words, in this case *82%* of Gorsuch’s, with line breaks to align them
    Yellow = trivial edits
    Green = obvious moves
    White = new text, paraphrase, here, not very different

    Pink (applied to antecedent text) were words changed in interesting ways.
    I should have marked “Mongolian” in pink, as it was often still used in 1980s, but no longer acceptable by time of Gorsuch dissertation in 2004.

    Gorsuch copied most of text from Kuzma, citing a ruling *sealed* since 1982, and then edited out words that might have offered sympathy for viewpoint opposite that in his dissertation.
