An exciting project, funded by Innovate UK, is referred to as ‘Enhanced Low Cost Automation Technology’ (ELCAT). It will advance the manufacturing technology and capabilities relating to aerospace structures, to meet the future demands of increased production rates with manufacturing precision.

The increasing use of composite and metallic components provides challenges in the integration of these components with the desired precision (microns) that is critical for structural integrity and energy efficient operation of an aircraft. Additionally, flexibility in the manufacturing process is required to meet the anticipated production rates, which will require less dependence on jig fixtures. To achieve these challenging targets, a higher level of automation is required in the use of robots, motion platforms, metrology instruments, and integrated control. ELCAT partners include GKN Aerospace (the industry lead), Exechon (an industrial manufacturer of parallel kinematic machines), and the Universities of Bath and Nottingham.

The role of the Research Associate at Bath is to undertake research into CFD/FEA analysis of machining processes under supercritical CO2 lubrication and cooling, including swarf/particulate removal. Nozzle design will be a feature. Also, experimental validation will be required and supported. In addition, the successful applicant must also be aware of the wider aims of the ELCAT project, hence there will be significant engagement and communication with the other partners.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering undertakes internationally leading research across many areas. Specifically, the Centre for Power Transmission and Motion Control leads in fluid power, CFD/FEA, actuation, robotics control, and the dynamics and control of electro-mechanical systems

This role is fixed term from 1 September 2021 with an expected end date of 28 February 2023.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an exciting therapy that utilizes a patient`s own blood to stimulate a healing response within a damaged tissue or joint. This form of therapy takes cutting edge technology and combines it with the body's natural ability to heal itself.

At BayCare Medical Group Primary Care and Sports Medicine, this technique is performed by taking a small sample of a patient's own blood and spinning the sample in a centrifuge for fifteen minutes. This process concentrates platelets and white blood cells in what is called a "buffy coat" that is extracted and delivered to the injured area. Growth factors in the platelets recruit and produce cells necessary for healing.

Common conditions which are treated in this way include partial muscle tears (such as calf or hamstring), tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, rotator cuff/shoulder partial tear/bursitis and other injuries. In addition, recent sports medicine literature has pointed towards PRP injections as providing excellent relief and functional improvement for arthritis, even better than hyaluronic acid injections when compared head to head.

If you would like to learn more about what PRP can do for you, please contact our South Tampa office for a personal consultation. To schedule an appointment please call (813) 254-8055.

Family Abandonment and Children in Florida

If your spouse abandons you, it can undoubtedly be an extremely stressful and emotionally exhausting experience for you. Not only can it threaten your sense of emotional stability, but it could also significantly harm your financial position if you were financially dependent on them, or if you had children. However, if you find yourself in this situation, fortunately you do have rights. The law has certain provisions to protect you and your children from the after-effects of abandonment.

What is Considered Abandonment?

There’s a legal term for abandonment: desertion. To define desertion in simple terms, it is when one spouse leaves the marriage — essentially cutting all ties with them — without the other spouse’s consent. Florida law states that should a family need support and no divorce action is pending, the court may Order the deserting spouse “contribute to the maintenance of his or her spouse and support of his or her minor child”  § 61.09, Fla. Stat. Ann.

If your spouse has left you, contact an attorney.  Don’t wait until you are in desperate need for support.  The Courts can be slow to react. The earlier the matter is filed with the court, the sooner you can get relief.  Contact our Port St. Lucie family attorneys at Baginski, Brandt & Brandt  for a consultation on your case.

Career Reminders for New Employees

2 min read
Employer welcomes new employees.

Being a new employee in the organization or company is exciting and challenging at the same time. Are you going in the right direction? What is the right approach to your job? Here are a few career reminders for new employees to make a lasting impression and eventually gain a good reputation:

Eight Career Reminders for New Employees

Be organized

This involves getting a planner for your meetings, appointments, assignments, and projects. Such an attitude will make you set your goals for yourself and not miss important things to do.

Stop, look, and listen first

If you are an entry-level employee, do not assume you know everything. You need to learn and absorb your job first and contribute your skills for the organization’s benefit.

Come early and stay a little later

As a new guy or lady in the office, you need to work full days, especially in your first week. Though you are required to be in your workstation during your shift, it is better to come early or stay past your schedule.

Know your employer and co-workers more

You began discovering your new employer during the interview process. As you join the team, you now have the opportunity to continue getting to know your employer and co-workers more. Do not act or assume that you know everything.

Volunteer to help

Take this as an opportunity to offer some help. This gesture will, indeed, create an immediate impact, especially if you are the only person who has certain skills and abilities.

Keep minimal your personal business

You should stay focused at work and spend just a small amount of time doing personal business such as cutting your nails or checking your e-mail messages.

Get involved in office activities

Take advantage of the hours allotted to formal or informal events and activities in the office. These kinds of events and activities are a great strategy to bond with your co-workers within the team.

Network with people

You need to manage and expand your network of people even after you got hired for a new job. You never know when you will need their help.

This means you need to take every opportunity to meet key people in your organization or within your field of profession. This involves attending seminars, workshops, or conferences, and joining an organization outside of work.

a pleasant surprise

burns evenly with a fairly good taste. in my top 5 for regular purchases. smoking four to five cigars daily can get way over budget for me, but these help a lot for balancing the budget. low cost, great maduro taste = a top bargain.

Talking tech since 2003

The ecommerce landscape is getting more competitive every year. In the second quarter of 2019, ecommerce sales rose 4.2% over the previous quarter (PDF). In fact, according to a study, ecommerce sales have grown consistently over the past few years.

That is unlikely to change as more and more shoppers turn to the internet for everything from groceries to fashion items.

For ecommerce brands, standing out in the competitive landscape is challenging. If you are just starting your ecommerce business, how do you help your products stand out and ensure customers choose you over the dozens of other options, including big names like Amazon and Walmart?

One of the most effective strategies to drive ecommerce sales is to leverage dedicated landing pages. In fact, if you aren’t using landing pages for your ecommerce businesses, you are likely losing out on customers, conversions, and even revenue.

What’s the Difference Between a Product Page and a Landing Page?

A product page lists the features, uses, and design elements of a specific product. For example, it might include detailed information about where the item was manufactured and its dimensions.

A landing page is a stand-alone web page designed to target specific kinds of visitors and encourage them to take a single action or address a specific problem. This might mean encouraging a customer to choose your product over another, sign up for your newsletter, or click to learn more about a specific product.

How do you ensure your landing pages are effective? Here are six features every ecommerce landing page needs to be more effective.

1. Targeted Language

Because the traffic to your landing page is targeted, you can better predict what products they might be interested in, or what may be holding them back from making a purchase.

Use this information to speak directly to the consumer. For example, a landing page for a younger audience might use a more casual tone. Or, if you target both electricians and HVAC companies, you could create landing pages for each that address their unique needs.

2. Fast Load Times

The average internet user is not willing to wait for your landing page to load, particularly when it comes to mobile devices. You have just a few seconds to grab their attention before they back out and head to a competitor.

To increase page load speeds, WhoIsHostingThis suggest choose a hosting provider that offers solid-state drives and fast server response times. They may also offer features like lazy loading or caching that will decrease how long it takes a page to load.

In addition, only provide the necessary content. The more content you add, the longer your page might take to load. Videos and images can add value, but may also slow down your page load. Don’t trade one for the other.

3. Clutter-Free

Too much clutter can increase page load times, but it also dilutes your message. Your landing page should aim at encouraging one action. Thus, you don’t need to include tons of images and rows of copy.

Instead, keep your landing pages clean and clutter-free. Link to additional resources as needed. See how Magento does this in the following landing page aimed at users who want a demo of their product.

They include a quick list of benefits, then get right to the point: here’s how to book your demo.

4. Customer Reviews or Testimonials

Social proof can encourage purchases by reducing customer apprehension and overcoming barriers by showing that other customers have used and liked your product or service.

Classy Career Girl, a website for women looking to build or grow their careers, uses this strategy for their physical planners by sharing social media posts from happy customers on their landing page.

Ecommerce businesses can include reviews by embedding them from their social platforms or adding pictures and quotes from online reviews, Google, or even those gathered directly from customers. Be sure to include reviews that address specific pain points your customers face.

5. High-Quality Visuals

A picture is worth a thousand words, but when it comes to ecommerce, pictures can be worth much more. If you are selling physical products, people want to be able to imagine what the product will look like in their homes (or wherever your product might be used.) Be sure to include several high-quality images from several angles, and include a 360-degree photo if possible.

Even if you are selling digital products or services, the quality of your images matters. With the rise of online photo editing and graphic design, there is simply no excuse to use pixelated, low-quality images.

6. A Prominent Call To Action Button

Landing pages are most effective when they are used to encourage one specific action. That action will vary based on the product or service you are trying to sell, of course. But a prominent CTA button is a requirement no matter what your business sells.

Based on the purpose of your landing page, your CTA button might say “Purchase Now,” “Add to Cart” or, as in the example below, “Register Now.”

Be sure to use clean language that explains precisely what the desired next step is and use colors that stand out from the images and content on the rest of the page.

Don’t be vague or use unclear language like “Next Step” or “I want in!” If you want your audience to take action, tell them what to do. Don’t make them think.

Final Thoughts

The features above should be included in every ecommerce landing page. However, the way those features look might be very different based on your audience and industry. For example, you might find a red CTA button doesn’t perform as well as a blue button.

Before rolling out huge changes across all your landing pages, use A/B testing to see what resonates best with your audience. Sometimes even a small change (like a CTA button color!) can have a significant impact on conversions.

About a Yankee Bet.

A Yankee is a great bet involving 4 selections. It consists of doubles, trebles and a four-fold accumulator – 11 bets in total.

  • 6 x double bets
  • 4 x treble bets
  • 1 x 4 fold accumulator

A Yankee is most commonly used for horse racing bets. It is very similar to a lucky 15 expect no single win bets are placed in a Yankee, just a combination of doubles, trebles and a 4 fold accumulator.

In all honesty a lucky 15 is a better bet than a Yankee. This is because you can get double and sometimes treble the odds for just 1 winner on a lucky. With the Yankee 2 selections need to win to get a return.

A Yankee is quite complicated to work out. That’s why using our Yankee calculator makes life much easier. We also have a Yankee bet calculator available in the app store for iphones and ipads. An android version will be released shortly.

Parent accuses Hastings primary school of ignoring racist abuse

A parent has accused a Hastings primary school of allowing racist abuse directed at her eight-year-old daughter by other pupils to go unpunished.

Monday, 21st January 2019, 10:12 am
Updated Thursday, 7th February 2019, 6:30 pm
Sandown Primary School. Picture: Google Street View

The woman, who has given her full name and details to the Hastings Observer but asked to remain anonymous for her child’s safety, said Sandown Primary School, The Ridge, Hastings, where her daughter attends, has failed to keep a record of incidents she has reported.

In response, the school said it was ‘not aware of any evidence of racist abuse’ and advised the parent to speak to the headteacher directly.

The concerned mum said: “I have had meetings with the school on a number of occasions but they have failed to take my complaints seriously or keep a record of them.

“My daughter gets so upset by the racist abuse that she asks to stay at home and it’s having an impact on her education.”

Responding to these concerns, the school’s headteacher Charlie Lindsay said he had not received reports of racist abuse.

He said: “Bullying and abuse has absolutely no place in our school and we take this extremely seriously.

“We investigate any reports thoroughly and take appropriate action.

“We are not aware of any evidence of racist abuse, but would encourage (her) to speak to us directly about any concerns she might have.”

The woman said her daughter has refused to go to school due to the abuse she has received.

As a result, the school’s educational welfare officer has got involved due to concerns over the girl’s lack of attendance.

The woman, who claims she has been treated differently to other parents, said a welfare officer has turned up at her home address to ask about her daughter’s absences.

She said: “I just don’t want to stand for it anymore. I wonder if there are other people experiencing the same problems as me so I wanted to put my story out there.”

In a written statement, Mr Lindsay said the school was working closely with the parent to ensure her child attends regularly.

He said: “Good attendance is vital to ensure our children achieve their best and reach their full potential.

“As we would with any family, we have worked closely with (her) to help her ensure her child attends school regularly and arrives on time, and we will continue to do so.”

Depression and excessive anxiety are common mental and mental problems. When depression and anxiety occur, depression and anxiety can affect how you feel and how you think and behave. If depression and excessive anxiety persist for a long time, of course, it will interfere with work or daily activities.

In some people, depression and excessive anxiety can produce symptoms that induce sleep more, and some people will experience symptoms of insomnia and loss of appetite. In addition, depression also has symptoms of difficulty concentrating, feeling sad for a long time, feeling that the future will not be good, feeling unenergetic, and it can even trigger the desire to commit suicide.

These symptoms must be addressed immediately so that they do not persist. To fix this, you can consult a psychiatric doctor and make changes to your lifestyle, behavior, and drug consumption. Here are some ways to get rid of depression and excessive anxiety:

Get some exercise

Overcoming depression can be done by doing sports that can help improve mood. Regular exercise can make you feel better. The benefits of exercising are long-lasting because it encourages the brain to think positively.

Positive thinking

The way to deal with depression can also be to prevent any negative thoughts that come by using logic. This will help to tolerate and overcome the behavior to be more positive and healthier.

Looking for friends to confide in

If you are feeling down, don’t be alone. You can share stories with trusted family or close friends. Dismiss all the problems that occur so that sharing your feelings can make your heart feel more relieved.

Set food intake

Food can help reduce depression levels. You can consult a nutritionist or search the internet for foods that can improve your mood. Some also choose to use cannabis, the CBD content in cannabis has shown promise as a treatment for depression and anxiety. Researchers from Harvard Medical School revealed that marijuana can help calm one’s anxiety with the correct dosage notes. You can consult doctors and cannabis business lawyers for dosage details and other matters.

Get enough sleep

Lack of sleep can exacerbate depression, which makes you feel worse off. Sleep in a calm atmosphere, avoid noise that can interfere with sleeping comfort, or maybe you can play relaxation music or recordings of sounds from nature.

Go out

Depression and anxiety will make you want to shut yourself up at home. Meanwhile, if you shut yourself up at home, you will only become increasingly depressed and anxious. You can try going out or taking a day off to visit a natural environment, such as going hiking and finding a place where you can relax. The air is fresh and natural, your mind feels fresher.

Jehoshaphat’s Additional Reforms

19 Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned safely to his house in Jerusalem. And Jehu the son of Hanani (A)the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked and (B)love those who hate the Lord? Therefore the (C)wrath of the Lord is upon you. Nevertheless (D)good things are found in you, in that you have removed the [a]wooden images from the land, and have (E)prepared your heart to seek God.”

The Reforms of Jehoshaphat

So Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the mountains of Ephraim, and brought them back to the Lord God of their (F)fathers. Then he set (G)judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city, and said to the judges, “Take heed to what you are doing, for (H)you do not judge for man but for the Lord, (I)who is with you [b]in the judgment. Now therefore, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take care and do it, for (J)there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, no (K)partiality, nor taking of bribes.”

Moreover in Jerusalem, for the judgment of the Lord and for controversies, Jehoshaphat (L)appointed some of the Levites and priests, and some of the chief fathers of Israel, [c]when they returned to Jerusalem. And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you shall act (M)in the fear of the Lord, faithfully and with a loyal heart: 10 (N)Whatever case comes to you from your brethren who dwell in their cities, whether of bloodshed or offenses against law or commandment, against statutes or ordinances, you shall warn them, lest they trespass against the Lord and (O)wrath come upon (P)you and your brethren. Do this, and you will not be guilty. 11 And take notice: (Q)Amariah the chief priest is over you (R)in all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters; also the Levites will be officials before you. Behave courageously, and the Lord will be (S)with the good.”

Writing Requires Thinking

Writing Requires Thinking

Believe it or not, a writer staring off into space is hard at work! Writing requires thinking time. Time to formulate new, original thoughts. Time to roll them around and massage them before we bring them forward into the world.

Thinking Creates Balance

There is a yin and yang to creativity. We spend much of our daily lives taking in content from the world around us. Reading blog or social media posts, streaming videos or watching television, listening to songs or podcasts – these are all forms of taking in content. I call this inhaling the ideas of others. Writing is putting our own content out into the world. Exhaling our own ideas. When we breathe, there is a tiny little pause at the end of each inhalation. If you’ve ever done meditation or box breathing, you’ll notice that the masters ask you to prolong or hold that pause. In the craft of writing that is thinking time.

We need to find a balance between the information we take in and the content we create. Constantly absorbing the thoughts of others not only distracts us from our own good work, but it also prevents us from processing what we just learned. Do we agree with those statements? Have we tried them on in our mind? As writers, we have to be careful that we are writing from our unique voice, and that our ideas are our own. We don’t want to just regurgitate unprocessed information.

Where Do Ideas Come From?

They don’t come from the idea fairy. There’s no magical muse doling out ideas to the writers who devotionally sit with butt in chair and hands on the keyboard. If there is, she’s forsaken me! I have covered the notion of combating writer’s block in the past. Essentially, writer’s block is a form of running out of ideas. The best remedy for this is to get out of ‘media consumption mode’ and get into ‘thinking mode’—in the shower, on a walk without music or a podcast in your earbuds, in a rocking chair on the porch. If you are breaking out into hives at the thought of being bored, maybe try doing something with your hands while you think like knitting, gardening or coloring (without the television or radio on).

How Long Do I Have Think?

Here’s the rub. We live in a world of instant gratification, gamified dopamine hits, and distractions galore. Thinking is a throwback to the analog, dial-up way of life. It takes as much time as it’s going to take. You can’t force it and you can’t rush it. You have to just let it be and see what bubbles up. That being said, Cal Newport has written a book called Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World that might just help you learn to focus your thoughts and have the ideas flow more freely.

This is why I love to hike so much. No cell phone service, just me and the scent of the pines filling my lungs as I solve the world’s problems in my mind. Do you need to escape your everyday life for a while and just focus on your thinking and your writing? Join us on the next Writing Retreat in the Mountains.

Official Release: After the first track action in the build up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans (FR), BMW Motorsport is able to feel positive about the result: In the first qualifying session at the “Circuit de la Sarthe”, Andy Priaulx (GB) set the fastest lap time in the LM GTE class, driving the no. 56 BMW M3 GT.

The triple world touring car champion put in a 3:58.426-minute lap right at the beginning of the two-hour session, which wasn’t beaten by any other car up to when the chequered flag came out at midnight. At the wheel of the second BMW M3 GT (number 55), Jörg Müller (DE) posted a lap time of 3:59.321 minutes earning him and his team-mates provisional third on the starting grid. Therefore Müller rounded off what was an excellent overall result for BMW Motorsport, after the team had already come first and second in the free practice session.

Due to an accident involving two cars, qualifying had to be red-flagged after about an hour and also finished a few seconds early following another incident. All the Team BMW Motorsport drivers had the opportunity to get to grips with conditions on this classic circuit at night. Jörg Müller alternated at the wheel with Augusto Farfus (BR) and Dirk Werner (DE), while Priaulx shared the no. 56 BMW M3 GT with Dirk Müller (DE) and Joey Hand (US). The final grid positions for the Le Mans 24 Hours will be decided in two further qualifying sessions held on Thursday.

Charly Lamm (Team Manager):“Le Mans is such a special place. That’s why you never know beforehand where you stand in comparison to the opposition. Therefore, first and third positions are a really good starting point for the remainder of the weekend. We should be totally happy with it. Both BMW M3 GT cars worked flawlessly today, so we were able to make full use of the time we spent on the track.”

Andy Priaulx (car number 56): “I am very happy. This is an almost perfect result for us today, and on top of that my lap was almost perfect. I hit almost every apex. It looks good for the weekend, although I expect tomorrow’s lap times to get even faster. But we are in a good position.”

Jörg Müller (car number 55):“I think we can be really happy with this qualifying. During the day we managed to take several steps forward. The set-up of our car is good. It’s always important to spend a lot of time on the track in the dark, just to get used to these special conditions. That’s why this has been a really positive day for us.”

William Tate Is Set To Become The First Black Man To Lead An SEC University

History has been made in the Southeastern Conference and it has nothing to do with the league's towering athletic programs. William Tate has made history as the first Black man to serve as president of Louisiana State University. Furthermore, he is the first Black man to lead any university within the SEC.

“This is a very pivotal time at our university, from economic, environmental, social challenges, but we are doing great things at this place. From our academic achievements, our enrollment, our diversity, I’m very proud of what we’ve accomplished," LSU Board Chairman Robert Dampf said.

“We set about to find a great leader, and we found one."

William was selected unanimously out of a group of nearly two dozen qualified candidates. While he currently works as the provost at the University of South Carolina, he will move to Baton Rouge, Louisiana in July. In the meantime, Tom Galligan of the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center will work as the university's interim president.

“What I’m really most excited about is I met students here who really are amazing, and for me, this position is all about what we can do to help students and give people access and opportunity in higher education," Tate said after earning the position.

“That’s really in my DNA, how do we help people regardless of their background — we find the money, get you here and give you the opportunity to live your dream. I think there is no better place in the United States to come find your dream and to make it happen than right here at LSU.”

How Racism Played A Role In Black Americans’ Ability To Swim

When we examine the roots of stereotypes about Black people, America’s history of racism is usually somehow involved. The stereotype that Black people can’t swim is no different. Between segregated city pools and beaches, trauma experienced and passed down from slavery, swimming has been a complicated subject and out of reach for many Black Americans.

On National Learn How to Swim Day, celebrated every third Saturday in May, it’s important we talk about water safety and acknowledge the origins of a stereotype that has transcended generations, and put many of us at risk when it comes to enjoying water recreation.

Why were Pools and Beaches Segregated?

Ongoing narratives about Black people being dirty, diseased, or otherwise infectious were pervasive during the 1920s and 1930s, the time when city pools were first flourishing in the US. The characterization of Black people being a sexual threat and overly sexualized influenced segregation laws for public pools and beaches across the country, according to history professor and author of Race, Riots, and Roller Coasters: The Struggle over Segregated Recreation in America, Victoria W. Wolcott. White people went so far as to put nails at the bottom of public pools, or pour bleach and acid in water to keep Black people out of the water.

Without access to public swimming pools or beaches, generations of Black Americans did not learn how to swim at the same rate as white people.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 desegregated public spaces including swimming pools, though the law took time to be actualized, and intimidation strategies continued to be used to keep Black people away from pools and beaches.

Even after the swimming pool boom of the 1920s ended with the Great Depression, the Public Works Administration and Works Progress Administration received funding to build 1,000 pools across the country. However, many of those pools weren’t built in predominantly Black neighborhoods, according to history professor and author of Contested Waters: A Social History of Swimming Pools in America, Jeff Wiltse. Along with the pool construction, the nation launched a “learn-to-swim” campaign, but with fewer numbers of pools for Black people, the resources weren’t as widespread.

A Lasting Impact

As a result of the systemic racism, many Black Americans who grew up during the time didn’t have access to learning how to swim. Ongoing racial injustice helped perpetuate the lack of access to swim lessons and stereotypes which has had an unfortunate lasting impact on Black communities across the country.

According to the CDC, Black children, particularly Black boys, are at higher risk of drowning than other groups. Accessible swim lessons and water safety training resources, experts say, can help reduce the rate of Black children and adults who drown each year.

Available Resources

Many cities have free or low-cost swim lessons available for youth during the summer. Contacting local parks and recreation authorities might be a good place to start. Additionally, organizations like Black Kids Swim, provide resources for families and Black competitive swimmers. Here’s a list of other swim and water safety resources.

Lastly, we want to celebrate those who are challenging this stereotype on the world stage. Here are some Black Olympic and professional swimmers to know.

Anti-Vaccine Film Targets Black People, Spreads False Information

“I think that it is an advocacy piece for anti-vaxxers,” Yale professor of history and medicine Naomi Rogers told NPR. Rogers had been interviewed for a film entitled Medical Racism: The New Apartheid by a prominent anti-vaccine group called Children’s Health Defense without realizing how her words would be used.

“I was naive, certainly, in assuming that this was actually a documentary, which I would say it is not,” Rogers said. “I’m still very angry. I feel that I was used.”

It wasn’t until the film was released in March of this year that Rogers found out that the film was spreading misinformation and targeted Black Americans’ history of medical racism. In her segment of the film, Rogers discussed her research and figures like Dr. James Marion Sims whose experimentation practices included performing surgery on enslaved Black women in the 1800s without anesthesia.

“We were talking about issues of racism and experimentation, and they seemed to be handled appropriately,” Rogers said.

She told the outlet that filmmakers approached her to participate in the film and that nothing seemed out of the ordinary until they wouldn’t tell her who else was to appear in it.

“They said, ‘Well, there’s ‘a guy’ in New York, and we talked to ‘somebody in New Jersey, and California,’” Rogers explained. “I thought it’s so odd that they wouldn’t tell me who these people were.”

Once the film came out, she found out the group is spearheaded by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. –– the son of former US Attorney General Robert “Bobby” Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy–– and his anti-vaccine group. The film, however, is pointedly targeted to Black Americans and spreads misinformation about vaccines, displaying debunked data.

Rogers appears in the film for about 14 seconds and says while her quotes were accurate, they are spliced together in a narrative that she has “enormous problems with.”

Initial vaccine hesitancy among Black Americans, experts said, stemmed from both the real history of medical racism in the country and its continued impact on people. The rate of Black Americans who received the vaccine is behind other groups, in part due to a lack of access, though misinformation like that found in the film, experts say, doesn’t help.

“The crux of the documentary is generally don’t get vaccinated,” Dr. Oliver Brooks, former president of the National Medical Association, the nation’s largest organization representing Black doctors, told NPR. Brooks was also featured in the film, and stated that he agreed to the interview to provide perspective.

“There is an understandable concern in the African American community regarding vaccines –– however, in the end, my position is you look past those, have an understanding of those, and still get vaccinated…. That nuance was not felt or presented in the documentary,” Brooks said.

Kennedy was banned from Instagram for the misinformation he spread on the platform, though he still has active Facebook and Twitter accounts, though organizers have labeled his group as a source of misinformation.

Scary numbers – youth unemployment, JSE delistings

It’s hard to assess the true extent of unemployment in South Africa. The national statistics agency said this week that the rate has jumped to just over 30% – or one in every three is unable to find work.

Stanlib chief economist Kevin Lings points out that the figure is conservative. The number of people who are ‘not economically active’ is around 43% – so not far off half of adults. Drill into the details further and you will see that most young adults are not gainfully employed. Youth unemployment, he notes, is ‘staggering’ at just over 74%.

Put another way, of the total youth population of 10.259m in Q3, only 796,000 had jobs in the formal or informal sector. Many might be studying, but the figure highlights ‘the extreme difficulty’ young people experience trying to get their first job – and points to a ‘national crisis’, comments Lings.

Moving on to another statistic that provides a clue to solving the high rate of joblessness: In this week’s BizDigest (download here) you will see 60% of companies that listed in the mid-2000s have disappeared from public view. The number of stocks available on the Johannesburg exchange has roughly halved since 2000.

SA has been losing its attractiveness as an investment destination, which in turn means opportunity costs in growing businesses that create employment.

One looming issue could derail the Hillary juggernaut

hillary clintonDespite the widely-held mantra that Hillary Clinton is a shoo-in for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, one business expert believes one Obama weakness can derail her express train to victory: the economy.

Fox Business Network senior correspondent Charles Gasparino wrote in a New York Post column that a faltering economy, marred by higher taxes, the worsening Obamacare landscape and business stagnation, could drag the Democratic brand down to the pits and dash Clinton’s hopes.

“Her biggest fear, I’m told, is that the Obama economy gets even worse,” he wrote. “She knows economic recoveries (even ones as weak as the one Obama fomented with ObamaCare, higher taxes and his attacks on business) run in cycles, which often last about seven years. In other words, it could turn sharply down just in time to leave her holding the bag.”

Gasparino’s bubble-bursting predictions come as Clinton’s coffers benefit from sweeping appearances around the country, fundraising efforts on her behalf and her ex-president husband’s stubborn popularity. Even the Benghazi scandal appears to have fallen off the public radar.

But Gasparino believes all the positives could be outweighed by all the negatives of an Obama administration.

“Barack Obama’s rapidly disintegrating presidency — and the chance it will get even worse — is Clinton’s top worry these days as she weighs whether she’ll run, and can win, in 2016,” Gasparino wrote in quoting sources on why Clinton may be hesitating in announcing her candidacy.

Surely, Clinton’s minions will continue to plead for her to run, and she’s promised to definitively announce her intentions by the end of 2014. But if the Jimmy Carter-like malaise infects ever-widening segments of American society, she just might opt against it.
