Marvin Gaye
Childhood and Early Life
Marvin Pents Gaye was born in April 1939, in Washington D.C. His father was a minister in the conservative Christian sect, the House of God, where Gaye started his career by singing gospels and hymns in the church choir.
After finishing high school, Gaye joined the Air Force but after being discharged, he started performing with a local group "the Moonglows" in 1958. He also learned to play the piano and drums. It was here that Berry Gordy Jr. of Motown Records saw him perform in a concert in Detroit and offered him a contract in 1961.
Beginning of a Singing Career
In Motown, Gaye played as a session drummer, with bands like The Miracles, The Contours and Martha and the Vandellas. He came out with his first solo album in 1961 – "Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide" – followed by his next album, "The Soulful Mood of Marvin Gaye". However, both did not do well or gain much popularity.
In spite of his initial two albums that failed to get him established as a singer, Gaye continued to work hard and release several songs of which "Stubborn Kind of Fellow" reached the top 50 in 1962. His other songs "Hitch Hike" and "Can I Get a Witness" too made it to top 30. Finally, Gaye got his first smash hit, "Pride and Joy", in 1963 that made it to the top 10.
By 1965, he had released thirty nine Top 40 songs with Motown, but was not happy with the label's tight control of the material and decided to change the record company.
Becoming a Successful Artist
Gaye gave his greatest hit with "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" in 1968. It was also around this time when his marriage was falling apart and he was not happy singing about love. He decided to make the change after he had released singles "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby" and "That's The Way Love Is."
In 1971, he released his most memorable solo album "What's Going On," that focused on topics like discrimination, poverty and drug abuse. In 1973, Gaye released a sexually and romantically charged album "Let's Get It On." Soon after its release, his marriage ended. He released an album about his failed marriage in 1978, "Here, My Dear," and almost got himself into litigation for violation of privacy.
Gaye had another failed marriage to a 17-year old girl, Janis Hunter, whom he divorced in 1979. He shifted to Hawaii and then to Europe in 1981. While staying in Europe, he released "Midnight Love," with Columbia Records, that contained one of his most famous songs "Sexual Healing." He was also battling cocaine addiction at the time that worsened to such an extent that he was forced to live with his parents, further slipping into depression due to the issues and problems with his father.
He was shot and killed by his father in April 1984, after a heated argument. His father claimed that he used the gun in self-defense. Gaye was cremated and his ashes were released in the Pacific Ocean.
Gaye's influence on R&B and soul music was appreciated when he was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. He also earned a Grammy Award for "Sexual Healing" that topped the charts not only in US but also in Canada, New Zealand and the UK.
Gaye was a great singer but things went wrong somewhere and this great talent got destroyed with cocaine addiction. He added "e" to his name to imitate Sam Cooke and made a great name for himself in singing but fell short of becoming a legend due to his untimely death.

Video Transcription:
PET scans have been around for a long time and most people think of them in relationship to the diagnosis of cancer and tumors. But they are also used in diagnosing brain injuries. They are different than an x-ray or an MRI because they are not showing the structure of the brain itself. What they do is show the function of the brain.
A PET scan does involve the use of a medium, a contrast material that is inserted into the patient. When structures of the brain are damaged they don't take up or absorb this medium as the healthy tissue would do. This then shows up on the image and helps the doctor confirm that certain areas of the brain are not absorbing this dye which indicates that there is damage to those areas. So, a PET scan is a very useful tool in not showing the structure but the but the function.

This Factsheet was prepared by the Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR) and the Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights (ECESR) in light of Egypt's appearance before the Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review in 2014.
In its last Universal Periodic Review in 2010, Egypt accepted six recommendations related to eradicating illiteracy, particularly in rural areas, and one on enhancing the quality of its education system. Despite some overall improvements since then, stark disparities in educational achievement remain. Decreasing public investment in education disadvantages students who cannot afford to attend private schools and exacerbates the problem of unequal access to education.
The right to education in international human rights law is contained in number of international treaties. The most comprehensive coverage of the right is found within the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) under articles 13 and 14. The primary level of education is an essential and integral phase in the development of a child, without the right to education children are unable to realize other rights. This research assesses the functionality of the Egyptian primary education system and its compliance with the international human rights standards of education, specifically the utilizing the 4-A schematic. The indicators included in the 4-A system are defined and analyzed in accordance to the primary level of education. A brief modern history of the Egyptian education system is provided in order to understand current trends. The issues facing the Ministry of Education â are centralization, aid for education and social and economic gaps â and their analysis provides greater insight into the compliance of the state. The final section of this research measures and analyzes the Egyptian system with the international standards in direct correlation to the human rights indicators that comprise the 4-A schematic. There are pockets of defacto discrimination, mostly social-economic that exists within the Egyptian primary education system and by international standards these facets of discrimination should take the highest priority for reform for the Ministry of Education. Other elements detracting from the provision of the right to education includes the quality of education in Egypt and equality. Stronger educational policies that are sharply focused, with targets for implementation being set; comprehensive legislation; and greater levels of awareness and civic engagement are needed in order to protect the right to education at the primary education level.
Published in 2015, this document is the second of a series of thematic mappings on the implementation of the right to education, following a first edition on Girls' and Women's Right to Education. It presents concrete measures adopted by countries to ensure the full enjoyment of the right to education for persons with disabilities.
The document is based on national reports submitted for the Eighth Consultation on the monitoring of the implementation of the UNESCO Convention against Discrimination in Education (1960) and the UNESCO Recommendation against Discrimination in Education (1960).
The first part of the document provides a thematic analysis of measures and promising practices that have been reported on by countries. The second part compiles in factsheets progress and challenges in constitutional and legislative frameworks and measures, for the 48 countries that reported on measures taken, out of the 59 reporting countries.
The document is intended to serve as a practical tool for both advocacy and monitoring. By highlighting concrete measures taken by countries, it also offers a basis for regional and international co-operation and shares promising practices from which other countries can learn.
Based upon Plan International's dataset of 1.4 million sponsored children, the report compares sponsored children with a disability to those without, from 30 countries worldwide. The report, produced in collaboration with London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, reveals that children with disabilities in developing countries are being held back from an education. The findings will help Plan International - and other researchers and organisations - to improve responses to the needs of children with disabilities, particularly their health and education.

Patrick Storfer has been working for Spec's for ten years. Currently, he is a wine consultant at the Spec's on Smith, but soon he will be the wine manager at the new Spec's on Weslayan and Bissonnet. Storfer left Spec's for a year to explore other options but quickly returned. "I realized I had the best job in the world," he says.
With 14,000 to 16,000 wines, the largest liquor store in the world has a wine for everyone, and Storfer will help you find it. How did he get into the wine business? "My dad has always been into wine, so I've been drinking wine since birth," he says. "I'm pretty sure they gave it to me in the delivery room."
Storfer has no formal training in wine, but you'd never know that. He can tell you just about anything and everything about wine, and not in that pretentious, have-no-clue what-he's-saying kind of way. So, what's his favorite? "I believe there is a wine for every mood," he says. "I haven't found a mood that doesn't have a good wine."
On our visit to Spec's, we asked him to recommend one of his favorites, then held our breath hoping he wouldn't suggest a $100 bottle. We love wine, but we have our limits. But Storfer read our mind. He recommended an inexpensive red from Southern France, Saint Cosme Little James' Basket Press. "It's not a landmark wine, but it's a great everyday wine." Most wines from this prestigious region run anywhere from $20 to $40, so this wine made from Grenache grapes was a steal for around $10.
For Storfer, the hardest part about helping customers is getting good information from them about their wine tastes. "Most people won't admit they like fruity wines," he says. "Instead, they claim to drink dry wines when they really don't." But that doesn't stop him from trying. "I believe in helping the first customer who needs my attention. Even if they are only buying a $6 wine, you have to stick to your principles."
Storfer even keeps a notebook of customers with special requests. It doesn't matter if you want a case of $10 wine or just a heads-up on new items, Storfer will call you personally and let you know. That's customer service.

Did Your Company Have a Security Breach? Here's What to Do
Virginia loves researching and writing on scientific topics that stimulate the imagination.
It is better to err on the side of caution, especially when it comes to security matters. Assume that a security breach will happen at some point in the future and prepare yourself for this eventuality. Having an emergency plan will help you save precious time; acting quickly is crucial to do effective damage control. Commission the breach investigation to an external company, as you may lack the resources to handle the case properly. If a breach was caused by one of your employees, an internal investigation could result in a conflict of interest.
Response to a security breach will differ in each case, as every company is different. However, there are some general guidelines you should follow. A typical reaction to a cyber event consists of five stages: initiation, forensic evidence capture, web, and behavioral analytics, risk impact analysis and reporting to internal and external constituent groups.
1. Initiation
Start off by forming a breach management team that should consist of the following roles and responsibilities:
- Legal counsel. Internal if the person has experience dealing with breaches or external if the internal legal officer doesn't have the necessary qualifications.
- Executive sponsor
- Internal security
- Internal IT infrastructure
- Human resources. The human should revise the cyber awareness program and intervene if the breach was caused by one of the employees.
- Corporate communications. They will shape a message to the media.
- Privacy or regulatory compliance
- Risk management
At this stage, you should establish communication standards, protocols, and encryption for oral and written communication. Appoint a person responsible for communication with external advisers or consultants (typically, it will be the legal officer), and with the audit and risk committee of the board of directors. Establish a frequency and method of communicating progress – at the early stage meetings should take place two times a day. Take care to disclose the news about the breach to the smallest possible number of people in case any of the employees was at fault. The time for informing employees will come later.
2. Forensic Evidence Capture
Breach detection sometimes takes years. Confirm that a breach has taken place. Determine what kinds of information were compromised – personally-identifying information (health, credit card, and financial information), employee family information, intellectual property, trade secrets, business proprietary information (alliance partners, customers, third-party vendors, investors). Determine if the breach is terminated or if it's still taking place. Change passwords throughout the company in order to prevent further information leakage. Determine if the information was encrypted and what kind of encryption was used. Isolate and image any hard drives, so that an independent professional can examine them. If this is not the first breach the company is experiencing, look at the history of breaches to try and find any parallels. If this is the first security breach, look for similar cases on the Internet.
3. Web and Behavioral Analytics
Analyze the IP addresses in the environment and classify them into three categories: authorized and benign, unauthorized and toxic, and authorized but toxic. Determine if the breach came from the inside or outside – if from the outside, what was its source? Determine the method of the breach, and look for any malware programs in the system. Did the breach involve a physical intrusion? Is there any physical threat to employees?
4. Risk Impact Analysis
Verify what kind of data was affected, checking both electronic and paper formats. If any information pertaining to personally identifiable information, personal health information, intellectual property and trade secrets, critical infrastructure, defense information was leaked, make sure you notify law enforcement about the event. In addition, ask your legal counsel for advice regarding internal reporting requirements – you may need to notify at-risk corporate customers and partners, regulators, and board members. Establish appropriate notification protocols and a notification strategy.
5. Reporting to Internal and External Constituent Groups
Adjust your reporting strategies for different audiences – remember that a technical report may cause confusion and misunderstanding among non-technical audiences, such as the board of directors. Instead of technical language, use the language of business and risk. The executive report should contain an introduction (general risk conditions and trends), a description of the breached company (in case the audience doesn't know it), a description of the intrusion event, the date of intrusion, a description of at-risk data, an analysis of preliminary mitigating measures, conclusions and recommendations (this part is crucial to convince customers that the company is committed to managing well risk impact), and a technical summary.

News about the home stretch of nuclear talks between Iran and P5+1 dominated the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Tuesday.
Ettela'at: The biggest mineral find in the country in Khorasan Razavi Province

Polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC, is one of the most popular synthetic resins which is made from polymerisation of vinyl chloride. PVC can be stored for a longer period of time as it is resistant against degradation and oxidation. It is naturally white in colour and has a brittle nature prior to the addition of plasticisers. In its purest form, PVC occurs as a rigid plastic and can also be produced in a flexible or plasticised form. The pipes manufactured by using PVC are strong, light-weight, durable, and resistant to rusting and rotting. These properties enable them to be used in underground wiring, sewerage and water treatment systems. As compared to concrete pipes, PVC pipes have been gaining a momentum across the GCC region.

Never used asafoetida – what's it like?
.-= James´s last blog ..Meat Free Monday #16 – Red rice salad with grilled asparagus (and garlic mushrooms, grilled aubergine and avocado with walnuts) =-.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:24 am
James, Asafoetida is a very pungent spice, made from resin which is dried and crushed. Its pungency mellows when it is cooked and takes on flavours of onions and garlic. Its smell reminds me of spicy poppadoms in Indian restaurants, so I imagine it is an ingredient in those.
It is also called Hing and is used often in lentil and bean dishes to aid digestion and reduce flatulence.

That's a good idea, Tom, thanks. I've not tried sprouting anything so it could be a fun experiment.
February 17th, 2013 at 10:10 am
Hi, I'm going to try this recipe later, just wondering – do you really use 625ml of oil? That seems like a lot! Thanks, Rebecca
February 17th, 2013 at 10:23 am
Hi Rebecca, good point about the oil, that can't possibly be right! I have checked the recipe, it says 65 so will change it, thanks. I hope it turns out well 🙂

The end is near!
The end of the year, that is. We've just finished the 47th week of the year, leaving us 5 weeks left. The end of the year is pretty much a completely arbitrary date choice that happened some time long ago, but I want to emphasize that we can create meaning out of this meaninglessness.
Learning a language can be a long process. There's a lot you need to experience as you get more and more used to hearing it and understanding it. Sometimes the weight of the whole task can be a bit intimidating. Motivation is an essential key to staying on track and achieving your goals, language-related or otherwise. When we see an opportunity to make a little mental game, we should take it.
This is what the end of the year can offer us. I made a plan earlier this year to study 3 languages this year: German, Swedish, and Esperanto. At various times I worked more or less on each one, according to my needs and desires at the time. Now I feel the urge to have something "done" by the end of the year.
I don't pretend to believe that I'll ever be "done" with any of these languages. Languages are beautiful that way: there will always be more to learn. I am motivated, however, to try to make a "final push" to work hard for the rest of the year so as to increase my accomplishments. This is a little game that I can play with myself, to try and squeeze in a bit more work each day.
So, what I've done may not work for everyone, but it seems to help me. Here's what I did. I want a way to reward myself for doing at least a little bit of work each day in my chosen subjects. I have 4 subjects: the 3 languages I mentioned, plus studying the deeply interesting strategy game called "Go" or "Weiqi". The idea with my system is that the hardest part of studying is starting. I find many different ways to procrastinate, but if I manage to just start, then I rediscover my enjoyment of it and end up continuing for a longer period than I originally thought.
Therefore, with the key goal of starting each topic once per day, I make a set of boxes in a spreadsheet. Each box represents the work I've done on that topic in a certain time period (could be a day or a week, as you see fit). If I do any work at all on that topic in that time period, then I get to colour it in with a nice shade of blue. If I really succeed at doing a lot of work there, then I'll elevate it up to green. No work gets me a "bad" colour like yellow or red…something noticeable.
The goal of the spreadsheet is to colour everything at least blue. In some ways, this is similar to Jerry Seinfeld's method of "don't break the chain", wherein he tries to do a little bit of writing every single day and then he marks that day with a red X on the calendar, and tries to string together the longest chain of Xs possible.
Technically, I could "succeed" by these standards by just doing 2 minutes of each of my 4 subjects every day…a total of 8 minutes. But in practice, this never happens. I really like studying each of them, and I tend to get absorbed in it once I actually start, so it ends up being quite a significant amount of time.
The other thing that keeps me going is to come up with some numerical goals. This time around, I've picked both hours of work and (estimated) number of words read in books. I pick some number as my weekly goal, and try to make all my amounts from all topics add up to that number. For reading, I've decided that I want to try to read 100,000 words each week, and I want to get 40 hours of work done each week. This is because I've drastically lowered my paid work hours lately, so that I can devote more time to learning. I'm basically considering learning to be my new full-time job, so I picked 40 hours per week.
Other people in different situations might choose a different number, but the number itself doesn't matter. It's just another game to play. This gives me a concrete number to try and reach in order to colour some boxes in green. It's like bonus points. Success is just measured by whether I got each box to at least blue, but I get bonus points for green 🙂
So, back on the end-of-year topic, this gives me some numbers for that game. I'm hoping to have 600,000 words read in this 6-week period (5 weeks of which are left), and 240 hours of time spent on these projects. This is actually a very substantial amount of work. In comparison with last year, when I was intensively working on German while working full time, I was lucky to get 250,000 words read in a month, so 400,000 in a month is a more accelerated pace.
Having a somewhat lofty (although still doable) goal like this is another way that I motivate myself. I'm really eager to have succeeded at doing all that, so that I'll be better at my various skills. Although I'm eager for the results, I also have a short-term "next step" to follow at any particular time: Just do any amount of work, no matter how tiny, and then I'm allowed to colour a box blue. The amount of words I read and the hours that I spend are continuously added up in the spreadsheet, giving me a number that goes higher and higher (like experience points, for those who play D&D).
All of those incremental steps are what's going to add up to my spectacular gains. One step at a time is all it takes.

A surprisingly poor start for China in men's gymnastics
LONDON -- The Chinese men, who won seven of the eight available gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, hit the ground, and not on purpose, early and often in Saturday's first of three subdivisions of men's gymnastics team and individual qualifications.
Even on the still rings, on which there is hardly any movement when Chinese men compete, they had falls.
Louis Smith, who became the first British man to medal in gymnastics in 100 years when he took a bronze on the pommel horse in Beijing, had tears in his eyes when he finished his horse routine Saturday and scored a 15.800, the highest score in the subdivision. The pro-Britain crowd in the North Greenwich Arena was on its feet.
PHOTOS: London Olympics | Day 1
The home country also had the top two men in the overall standings. Kristian Thomas finished with a score of 90.256, and Daniel Purvis had 89.199. The top-ranked Chinese man was Guo Weiyang at 11th.
The U.S. men will compete in the next subdivision along with team favorite Japan. Some good news for China: The qualification scores will be erased when the medal rounds begin Monday. As long as China is one of the top eight teams after Saturday's three subdivisions, the defending gold medalists will be able to start over.

See these events on Meetup.com
2nd Monday 5/13/2019 Discussion and Prompt Night
4th Monday 5/27/2019 Share and Critique Night
In May We are studying the German Author JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE
And the literary movement he was a part of
STURM UND DRANG – Storm and Drive
For a good overview of this movement, check out the BBC Radio Four 'In Our Time' Podcast about it, which you can listen to on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONTAcUQv3Jo
This was very much a formative German cultural movement that through both the introspective suicidal romantic (Young Werther) and the high magician who makes deals with the Devil (Faust), influenced the emergence of a German spirit with obviously political implications, with the fascist movements in the 20th century and the destruction of modern Germany at the hand of the Nazis. These cultural currents are in play again today, and I'd like to try to have a discussion of what we might learn from these sources of a Romantic styled Violence of Emotion / Individuality and Deeply Introspective View / Libertinism and Libertarianism / A question of What order we follow / Revolt against older formalism. From the movement that rehabilitated Shakespeare as the quintessential unique genius, from out of the hands of people who denigrated him because he didn't follow 'the forms', these treasure-chests of creative energy in various cultures around the world have led to some of the worst of shallow indulgence and bad faith interpretation in our modern day.
As a kind of crux of our current day politics, I want to take the grenade out of the hand of the boys in the Joker Halloween masks, and ask whether the grenade itself has any artistic merit.
I just finished reading GOETHE's (one of the main authors of this movement) major work 'Faust', and I'm reading through 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', his early novel about a romantic character who committed suicide, which led to people following his footsteps in kind. I'm also looking into a biography of Goethe by an author who, I've read another one of his biographies (of Nietzsche), and it should provide some insight.
I'll have a study packet for the meeting on Monday, and if you have anything you want to discuss or want to prepare something related to the topic, you're welcome to share!

Invisalign is quickly becoming a popular orthodontic option for both adults and teens – for a few good reasons!
Some of the reasons why Stonebriar Family Dentistry patients are choosing Invisalign include:
- The clear, plastic aligners are virtually invisible, so you can correct your smile without wearing noticeable metal braces.
- The smooth plastic is comfortable against tender soft tissues in your mouth, and you don't have to worry about rough brackets or poking wires.
- Since you remove the aligners to eat, you don't have to worry about food restrictions like you do with traditional braces.
- You also remove the aligners for home hygiene, so there is no hassle when it comes to brushing and flossing your teeth.
Invisalign can correct many of the same conditions as conventional braces, and if you've been considering orthodontics, it's worth scheduling a consult with Dr. Chitre to see if Invisalign is right for you. Our patients are thrilled with their results, and we're happy to show you pictures so you can see the transformations we can achieve at our Frisco, TX dental office!
Getting started with Invisalign is easy. We'll take impressions and digital images and plan your entire program out ahead of time so you know what to expect. Call today to schedule your consultation to learn more about Invisalign.

Police Look At Possible Relationship Between Fiance Of Wake Teacher, Other WomanPosted — Updated
Cary police obtained a search warrant Aug. 16 for the home of Magalie Lelong. Authorities believe Lelong may have had some kind of relationship with Ian Campbell, who is being charged with the death of his fiancee, Heather Domenie.
Authorities found several items at the home, including a hotel card, receipt, photographs and a Las Vegas magazine called "Bride," which serves as a guide for Las Vegas-style weddings.
According to court papers, two weeks after Domenie was found dead in the home she shared with Campbell, a Cary detective spotted Campbell's car at an apartment on Whispering Falls Run in north Raleigh. Records show Campbell and Lelong left together and met four others at Fins Restaurant.
According to court papers, an employee reports seeing the two together before and says Lelong was playing with Campbell and holding hands.
On July 25, Campbell was the one to call 911 to report Domenie, a teacher at Fred Olds Elementary, was not breathing after apparently choking herself while he was out. A medical examiner's report indicates Domenie was strangled. Last Friday, Cary police charged Campbell in her death.
WRAL has not been able to contact Lelong. Campbell is currently in jail with no bond, awaiting trial.

One repeat criticism of Labour in Government, with Jacinda Ardern leading, is that they are talking the talk far more walking the policies. I think this criticism is justified.
So does John Roughan: Labour violins play but ovation must wait
Labour governments have one habit that annoys me intensely. They love to trumpet big liberal social advances without doing the hard work. The last Labour Government made an art-form of this and the present one is shaping up to be just the same.
This week its Health Minister, David Clark, moved the final reading of the bill legalising medicinal cannabis and hailed it as "compassionate and progressive" legislation that would make a difference to people living in pain and nearing the end of their lives. You could almost hear the violins playing in Labour minds and see the wistful look in their eyes as they imagined this moment in a movie made for audiences susceptible to simplified social history.
While the medicinal cannabis bill is progress (anything would be progress compared to what National stalled) but it is hardly a great progressive moment. And the compassion is limited to some and excludes many others, like those who suffer from chronic pain and prefer safer, less addictive but illegal relief.
You had to read the news reports carefully to notice that a great deal of work on the bill, now law, has still to be done. "Little" details such as, what cannabis products? How will people know they are effective? Who will be allowed to make them? How are you going to restrict them to people genuinely in pain or terminally ill?
All those questions, and more, have been passed to officials in the Ministry of Health. Until they can work them out the legislation does almost nothing, it's just a statute of intention.
And a problem with this is that the Ministry of Health has proven to be far from progressive in dealing with medicinal cannabis. We won't know how much real progress the current bill will make for up to a year.
It annoys me intensely because it is dishonest. Not just politically, but intellectually dishonest, which you would not expect Labour people to be. I don't understand how they can take pride in acts of principle that leave so many practical difficulties demanding answers.
Fair call from Roughan.
To my mind, if a principle is not practical there is probably something wrong with it.
Ironically, the one thing this week's legislation has done immediately is provide the terminally ill with a legal defence should they be prosecuted for using the drug while it remains illegal. Since they were never likely to be prosecuted that pretty much confirms the status quo.
While Labour play the violins of progress the tune is often much the same as National's.
Labour seems divided on the subject. Police Minister Stuart Nash and Health Minister Clark this week announced a toughening of the laws against the manufacture and sales of synthetics, classifying them as class A drugs which I guess means the end of the attempt to provide a legal framework for them.
At the same time they announced a directive to the police would be written into the Misuse of Drugs Act to use their discretion not to prosecute for mere possession of all drugs (all?) where a therapeutic approach might be more beneficial. Again, the status quo, for lesser classes of drugs anyway. Discretion works well enough in practice but how do you define it in law? More hard work for somebody else.
Much of the work on regulations for the medical marijuana was in fact done by a new MP in National's caucus, a physician, Dr Shane Reti.
Reti spent last summer in the US talking to officials in states that have legalised the drug for medicinal use. On return, he drafted a private members' bill that appeared fairly practical and capable of controlling the standard and distribution of cannabis in medicinal forms.
He convinced the National caucus to support legalisation and for a while it seemed the Government might write his proposals into its bill. But though he was deputy chair of the select committee on the bill, it didn't happen. It is hard to know why.
Labour could hardly claim to be the great progressive party but helped by National.
Maybe this Government is using medical legalisation to soften the electorate for general decriminalisation before we get a referendum on that issue. Is that the kind of dishonesty we are dealing with? I prefer to think not, and that Reti's work will not be wasted when National returns.
There is a real possibility that Labour has used the medicinal cannabis bill to appear to be doing something (that they had promised to do with urgency) but in fact have used it to kick the cannabis can down the road.
The violins play while the opportunity to be progressive runs away. It's almost as if Labour are running away from it.
I was resigned to National continuing to stall progress on drug law reform, but especially after Labour's promises their hollow violin promises are even more disappointing.

This morning I read a fascinating opinion article posted on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company, Canada's national news network) online called "How 'common sense' came to mean its opposite under Donald Trump" by Kate Heartfield. Here is a quote from the outset that encapsulates the popular, and worrisome, turn against scientific thought in North America and elsewhere:
Donald Trump's victory was the most dramatic demonstration yet that liars can win elections. All he had to do was demonize reason and fact as the province of hated "elites."
To a scientist, facts aren't taken lightly. It takes months, even years, of hard work gathering data and then running it through statistical analysis to make sure it offers a solid conclusion to a question posed in the form of an hypothesis. To get to a fact that describes a process, event or object requires a formal process of investigation that adheres to the scientific method and which is open to scrutiny, repetition, verification or refutation by one's peers. This standard ensures that fact is separated from guesswork, fiction, emotion and opinion. It is very important because scientific knowledge can only be built upon a solid foundation of factual knowledge and a strong theoretical base. Put in everyday language we in the sciences know that the facts we labour to gather are building blocks that can be used to invent new tools, approaches and methods that benefit all of humanity. Think of the many scientific facts you need to know in order to build a steam engine for example.
You might think the importance of facts is limited to the sciences but the utility of fact-checking goes far beyond. This past American election gave many people reason to distrust facts because statements passed off as facts were thrown about everywhere. Raw unexamined conclusions were drawn about people, their actions and their ideas so often that it was difficult to tell the difference between empty catch phrases and facts. Over several months of being saturated with out-and-out lies (tossed about even during televised debates!), you get used to the lying and it becomes normalized. You no longer gasp in horror. You think instead, well, that's Trump again. However, the war against facts wasn't intitiated by Donald Trump (our late Toronto mayor Rob Ford had the lie down to an art) and it didn't start with this election (think of the tobacco lobby hyping its own "studies" while suppressing unbiased independent research decades ago). It's ironic that this war against facts began in our current post-industrial era, where knowledge and expertise overtook physical labour as the most valuable asset of a society. The last 18 months in the U.S. saw the culture of lying come to its ugly head. The standard of telling the truth is gone and a number of economists, lawyers and constitutional experts are trying to figure out what repercussions will befall the U.S. as president-elect Donald Trump attempts to make real his shaky electoral platform built upon lies.
In her thoughtful article, Kate suggests that Trump's outrageous lies were effective at least in part because of a psychological phenomenon called the Dunning-Kruger effect. Quoting directly from her article, "People who know a very little about a subject - whether it's the stock market, the rules of grammar or a political policy - are more confident in their expertise than people who know a lot. 'The problem isn't that voters are too uninformed. It is that they don't know just how uninformed they are,' writes Dunning.
The cure for Dunning-Kruger is, paradoxically, more knowledge. But you can't convince someone to read a fact-check or an explainer with an open mind if they already think they know it all, and especially not if the person they trust is telling them everyone else is conspiring to trick them."
This describes a perfectly vicious circle. There seems to be nothing that even the most eloquent journalist could write at this point that could stop the war against facts. So many people have thrown up their arms and can no longer be reached. As she mentions, the popularity of trusting one's gut feelings over evidence and the widespread use of talking points play into our growing willingness to accept information point-blank, especially when it comes from someone we think of as familiar, famous or in a superior position of power. Trump, being familiar, rich and famous, seems to get away with conjuring up his own set of "facts."
I mentioned before that I believe democracy is North America's most precious core value. But when the majority of citizens accept what candidates and leaders say uncritically, what happens to democracy? People unknowingly throw away their chance to voice an informed opinion, one that reflects their OWN best interest not the candidate's, when they buy into emotionally charged fact-starved campaign rhetoric.
Trump essentially fashioned himself into a snake oil salesman, and he sold many snake oils: a budget that adds up, an "amazing" Mexican wall paid for and built by Mexicans, a thousand new coal mining jobs, a "great" new healthcare system, and the list goes on. Snake oils are appealing because they appear to be simple easy solutions to difficult problems. They are dangerous because they are, by their nature, too simplistic (do you wonder if Putin is going to take advantage of Trump's naivety, or if China will use the U.S.'s new protectionist stance to emerge as the world's new global trade leader? Will Trump influence negotiations between Germany's Deutsche Bank and U.S. federal regulators while his business owes that bank several hundred million dollars? What are the long-term and probably unintended consequences of a Trump presidency? To be able to foresee some of the problems, one has to dig into complex matters of constitutional and conflict of interest law, international and homeland economic policy and matters of national security, subjects that when explored in detail in journalistic articles are guaranteed to have far fewer readers than troll news articles armed with catchy emotionally triggering headlines, scandalous-looking photos and dumbed down downright false content. I feel so badly for those hard-working accredited journalists out there facing this onslaught of garbage.
We don't know it but they are trying to save us from ourselves. The stakes of whom we elect are high. Our choice affects our taxes, our healthcare, our environment, our kid's education and whether we have a job or not. We should owe it to ourselves to demand that every candidate's platform be based on fact. We should understand we have the right to immediately call out where things don't seem to add up and demand that we have the details explained to us in a satisfactory way. That is our foremost democratic right, and only serious fact-based journalism gives us the tools to exercise it. Otherwise we let our countries run without our consent; we open the door for them to run agendas no one asked for and which benefit no one but themselves. We let our system slide into a dictatorship.
Is it worth it to gravitate to the titillating Trump tweets or late night comedy shows to laugh at Trump's latest blunder? We all enjoy being entertained. The new populist politician doesn't talk down to us. He says it like it is. He doesn't overwhelm us with responsibility. He downplays the seriousness of his post. And he makes us laugh, either at him or with him. He gives us permission to pound our fists in righteous rage (also either at him or with him). Trump has brilliantly found our collective kryptonite and he knows how to use it.
This is the post-truth era. Maybe we have the luxury of choosing people who entertain us and talk like one of us. Maybe we also have the luxury of choosing pseudo-medicine, pseudo-science and pseudo-education for our kids. But those of us who still defend scientific rigour, who still uphold that there is a difference between facts and lies, they are looking around us these days and asking where everyone took off to. They are still at the worksite building away toward a solid future that cannot be easily torn down while the rest of us buggered off to get entertained, angered or appeased. Reading endless troll news and tweets became our soul-sucking addiction as the garbage piled up around us.
Maybe some of us left to build our own house of dreams. We will quickly discover that we are grossly unqualified. Built not from facts but from emotion, gut feelings and/or the easiest solution, our house is going to look like Ned Flanders' "Hurricane Neddy" house: a hallway shrinking down to nothing, a toilet in the kitchen, another room entirely electrified. Immediately upon inspection it falls down entirely.
Those of us who want to sift fact from fiction and who are exhausted of following circles of lies, have several tools at our disposal that will defend us against the snake oil. This is not a weapon only "the elite" can wield. It's right there online too and all we need to do is take some time to read and think. Soon we can be masters at critically evaluating any kind of information. Here are just a couple of non-partisan, non-affiliated articles designed to help us:
1) "10 Tips for Telling Fact From Fiction" by Howstuffworks.com. The website itself describes why it is a reliable source of information here.
2) This brings me to my own hint: always look for the "about us" button and see what's there. If it is easy to find and the information there is clear and understandable, the site gets a nod for reliability. Google the author's name and the names of the website's creator or editor to find out what that person's affiliations are.
3) "Don't Be Fooled: Use the SMELL Test To Separate Fact From Fiction Online" by John McManus at Mediashift.org. This article is especially useful for political content. The author is a former journalist, professor and author who has twice won the annual research award of the Society of Professional Journalists.

Is Scientific Thought in Danger?

To My American Readers
This is strictly my opinion. Feel free to disagree with absolutely everything here but please don't clog up my feedback with hate mail.
When I look at my stats page for this blog I always notice most of my readers are in the United States, and thank you so much for that. Like my friends up here in Alberta, Canada, I watched your election coverage with disbelief. I think almost no Democrat saw a Trump win coming except maybe Michael Moore. I want to understand why half of you chose him. Your choice hits us deeply because many of us see ourselves in you. I certainly do; we are just not that different from each other. In fact, your 18-month-long (?!) election process seems to have kicked off a parallel discussion up here. I should warn you if you are thinking about moving to Canada it is not the socialist Eden some of you might envision. We have a number of Trump-esque political voices here too and by the time you go through the paperwork, we're just as likely to have voted in someone far-right ourselves. The political pendulum always swings back and forth. That said, come on up, welcome! At least come visit and the first round's on me.
If you've read some of my posts you'll know I am unabashedly left-leaning, especially on social issues and our environment, so I can relate to the policies of President Barrack Obama, as well as our Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and my NDP Premier, Rachel Notley. But here in Alberta we also have a healthy right-wing voting block, based both on social issues and on our oilsands-enriched economy. About half my friends and family would call themselves right wing so we have to find common ground, and we do, and it has made for some of the most stimulating conversations I've enjoyed. Yet, President-elect Donald Trump, according to his tweets and what I've seen of his rallies, has gone far into new territory. It seems to be not just a move back toward right-wing ideology, but toward a darker angrier incarnation of it. Why?
Donald Trump won well over the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win. He was fairly and decisively voted into power. The American people spoke very clearly it seems to me, and ongoing anti-Trump demonstrations and riots won't change that. I admit that I tend to read left-leaning news articles online so I see people trying to explain the vote by conjuring up voter manipulation or even stupidity on the part of Trump supporters. That guy's a moron, many are saying, and he hates women and that's why Hillary lost – because too many Americans are backward anti-feminists. As a woman it was pretty darn easy to agree with all that and leave it there. I thought: I'm going to try and write something supportive to my fellow democratic Americans in this dark time, and I assumed those reading my articles are Democrats because I figured no Republican would read my articles. Then I ended up writing four drafts of this article and none of them came out right. I realized I didn't get it. Maybe I don't get Americans and I sure don't get Trump winning.
I gave up for a few days and this morning I said to myself screw it and picked up an Edmonton Sun newspaper to read – a right-wing paper that out of habit I normally avoid. Wow, do Trump supporters really see people like me as smug left-wing elitists that are used to getting our own way and cry like babies, like we are right now, when we don't? Are we soft-minded proponents of a nanny state that is so over-regulated it stymies any new ideas before they even have a chance? Do we elitists think only our view is the correct one and refuse to look outside our bubble of self-satisfaction? If this is true then it turns everything on its head. Democrats are now the elitist slick well-financed too educated overlords and the Republicans are the only people listening to the disavowed working class. Isn't that a 180 degree flip from just a few decades ago when democrats fought for unions and working wages and healthcare for everyone? I think Americans are a smart bunch of people much like us up here so I just can't believe this Trump victory came about from ignorance or laziness or apathy, and I have to believe there is no kernel of painful truth in what they say about us left-leaners. Looks like its time to get out of my protective bubble and really hear what Trump voters are telling Americans (and all of us).
Wondering, then, how this could come about, I find myself going back to where I felt cracks in my pro-left wing mindset and that was the financial crisis of 2008. There is a distinct mistrust of government and of the establishment in Trump's message and I felt that same mistrust needling me back then. Many Americans suffered at the hands of downright illegal manipulations by big banks. Hard-working Americans lost their homes and then their jobs. And as I see it, there wasn't much of a recovery for the working class afterward (the banks, large corporations and the stock market seemed wonderfully resilient however). Just as that nightmare broke, Obama was elected. I still remember the jubilant reaction to his moving speech. I thought, and maybe others too, that he would clean up the corruption in the financial sector and put some of these CEO's in jail. That he'd compensate the people who lost so much. But it didn't happen. It led to a short-lived 99% movement, especially among millennials, but no one seemed to listen to them and it gradually disappeared away but was never resolved. There was never any corporate fallout, why? Now I wonder if many Americans never forgot either. A president can make slick and rousing speeches claiming to champion the working class and then thoroughly ignore them while protecting the corporations who did the damage instead. How much trust in Obama was lost over that?
I can also see why some people are not Hillary Clinton fans – she is very well connected in Washington and supported by a number of well-funded PAC's (political action committees). She could represent more of the same, in which many would continue to feel disenfranchised and left out. I can understand looking to an outsider businessman to run the country from what should be a more practical economic outlook rather than someone who might simply reward one's political allies and keep the status quo.
But here's what looks to me to be a nasty kicker. From what I can gather, both Republicans (at least the establishment ones) and Democrats have standing behind them a bunch of very wealthy influential lobbies like the Koch brothers, banks, big oil companies, etc. and these seem to be the real string-pullers. They are corporations making sure that behind the scenes in congress things go their way, or their shareholders way. Often that means tearing up unions, eliminating retirement funds, removing healthcare and insurance plans and all those things that protect the working class but cost money to the corporation. I think the Trump win (despite all the odds and without nearly as much PAC backing) means it's time for Democrats and Republicans to start talking to each other across the battlefront. It means we Canadians need to step out of our trenches too. If there is one value that both sides cherish above all it is democracy itself – the right of every citizen to choose. I think it's high time to take a close look at democracy itself and ask if it is being served the way our forefathers envisioned. I think PAC's and anything like them need to go right now but is it too late? Someone's got to vote them out and that's the president and congress (and here it's the PM and the House calling to keep strict campaign donation limits). Trump actually has the best mandate in a long time to make that happen as long as he can convince congressmen to vote with their conscience instead of their pocketbooks (tall order, maybe too tall). As a Canadian I am compelled to take a good hard look at myself and revisit how my democratic process is protected.
None of this makes me a Trump fan, however. As I see him, he's woefully unprepared, he's ignorant because he doesn't read and he's way too thin-skinned. He's a bigot, he's putting Stephen Bannon in a top advisory position and he has never shown to my knowledge any concern for working-class Americans before his campaign. How he's going to stand up for the working class once elected is totally beyond me BUT he is indeed the political outsider that so many Americans, I think, have been craving. And I think he's the only choice that could put into stark relief something that might be very wrong with our modern democratic systems around the world. I do think that we will see Trump clones coming into power in other countries such as those coming up for election in Europe.
I don't think anti-establishment sentiment is the only reason Trump the man has some allure. Consider for a moment that Trump made most of his fortune in a country during which many of the rich got richer, thanks to tax codes that benefit the wealthy, a healthy stock market, affordable energy, a healthy job market and efficient international trade allowing abundant raw materials to move to where you need them. Much of his success was the result of being at the right place at the right time in history. He is very much a product of the American Dream. He is a white North American male baby boomer, and as a result he has enjoyed many advantages that I don't think will be there for our millennials. He is a product of a temporary and unsustainable system. And yet he didn't run on happiness and hope. He ran on fury and fear. His anger has stirred up more rage among voters than I've ever seen – rage about losing one's advantage in life to the elite, to over-regulation, to increasing numbers of minorities, to terrorism, and I could go on.
I see it as rage but I also think I sensed fear right underneath it. Why would seemingly advantaged older white males be fearful of anything? When I asked a few older male relatives questions along the same vein over the years, I noticed that sometimes we started talking about a fear that the world is changing too fast and they can't keep up with it and they can't make sense of it. The world they grew up in does not work by the same rules as it does now. We are facing globalization, a technological explosion, an information explosion, an explosion of cultural exchange, and a rapidly changing physical reality – our climate is changing and our resources are dwindling – all at the same time. That is a completely legitimate fear. The world in general is changing faster now than at any time in history. Some people in the media called this election a vote for change but when I see it in this way, it seems like a vote only for change back to the way things were. And perhaps that's what fueled Trump most in his campaign – a powerful nostalgia for his own personal best days when the world seemed predictable, something that older white male voters, especially, would connect to on a deep level.
If by making America great again, Trump means to take everyone back to the prosperous 1950's I've got to say I think that ship has long sailed. The States, from where I sit, is becoming this diverse, influential, innovative country, as is Canada, and change will continue whether we like it or not and whether we are ready or not. Our children's futures, I suspect, will be very different from what we live right now. I really don't want to see how the United States works with environmental laws, consumer protection laws, government healthcare, immigrant protections, international trade and women's rights rolled back. Instead of a return to the post-war 50's I'm afraid it will be some twisted state bent toward isolationism and paranoia, something too similar to creepy North Korea. In the end, I just don't think that's what Americans, or even Trump himself, really have in mind for the future. If he ran his campaign based on making life better for the working class then I think working class voters should hold his feet right to the fire. It's time someone put their concerns first.
It would be easy to rail against Trump as a woman, as a feminist, as an environmentalist, hell as someone who actually trusts in scientific fact. It would feel much more comfortable to rally around like-minded people and justify my own rage against "the other." But after much thought it seems time to stop fighting, stop freaking out that the world is going to hell inside my little echo chamber, take a breath, and listen to others who have clearly told us all something important. Trump voter, I'll buy you a beer too :-)
