Persons, Humanity, and the Definition of Death by John P. Lizza
Book DescriptionIn this riveting and timely work, John P. Lizza presents the first comprehensive analysis of personhood and humanity in the context of defining death. Rejecting the common assumption that human or personal death is simply a biological phenomenon for biologists or physicians to define, Lizza argues that the definition of death is also a matter for metaphysical reflection, moral choice, and cultural acceptance. Lizza maintains that defining death remains problematic because basic ontological, ethical, and cultural issues have never been adequately addressed. Advances in life-sustaining technology and organ transplantation have led to revision of the legal definition of death. It is generally accepted that death occurs when all functions of the brain have ceased. However, legal and clinical cases involving postmortem pregnancy, individuals in permanent vegetative state, those with anencephaly, and those with severe dementia challenge the neurological criteria. Is "brain death" really death? Should the neurological criteria be expanded to include individuals in permanent vegetative state, with anencephaly, and those with severe dementia? What metaphysical, ethical, and cultural considerations are relevant to answering such questions? Although Lizza accepts a pluralistic approach to the legal definition of death, he proposes a nonreductive, substantive view in which persons are understood as "constituted by" human organisms. This view, he argues, provides the best account of human nature as biological, moral, and cultural and supports a consciousness-related formulation of death. Through an analysis of legal and clinical cases and a discussion of alternative concepts of personhood, Lizza casts greater light on the underlying themes of a complex debate.

Journalism research wins international award
A research paper co-authored by a School of Social and Political Science academic, Dr Kate Wright, has been named as the most outstanding article published internationally on journalism in 2019.
The article, ‘Foundation funding and the boundaries of journalism’, has won the 2020 Wolfgang Donsbach Award, presented by the Journalism Studies Division of the International Communication Association. It reports the findings of a study looking at how funding by private foundations is inadvertently changing the international journalism it supports.
The study was lead-authored by Dr Martin Scott of the University of East Anglia’s School of International Development, together with Dr Mel Bunce from City, University of London, and Dr Kate Wright, who is the Academic Lead of the Centre for Data, Culture and Society’s research cluster in Media and Communications at the University of Edinburgh. The article is based on a five-year research project, funded by the UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Board and the Independent Social Research Foundation.
Published in the journal Journalism Studies in 2019, the researchers found that journalists change the ways they understand, value and carry out their work when supported by organisations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation.
The authors concluded that foundation funding unintentionally reshapes international journalism to favour outcome-oriented, explanatory reporting in a small number of niche subject areas.
Dr Scott said the current coronavirus crisis made it even more important to understand the relationship between journalists and foundations: “The COVID-19 pandemic is threatening the survival of news organisations around the world, even potentially triggering a 'media extinction event' in many countries."
Dr Wright said: “This research shows that, although foundation funding is crucial to the survival of many forms of non-profit journalism, journalists and funders need to be more aware of the unintended consequences of their actions.”
To qualify for the award, articles must have been published in English-language peer-reviewed journals and have made a substantial contribution to the understanding of the ever-changing role of journalism in societies.
The Chair of the award committee, Dr Matt Carlson, said: “The nuanced picture that emerges is that of journalists shaping their practices to meet both the spoken and tacit demands of their sponsors. The authors connect this to deeper issues of journalistic autonomy in ways that improve our appreciation of how all journalistic practice is contingent on structural forces that ultimately shape what news looks like.
“This study provides an excellent basis for future research on the economics of news, boundary work, and conceptualizations of journalistic autonomy.”
Previous winners of the award have been:
2019: Henrik Örnebring, Michael Karlsson, Karin Fast, Johan Lindell “The space of journalistic work: A theoretical model” in Communication Theory.
2018: Richard Fletcher and Rasmus Kleis Nielsen “Are news audiences increasingly fragmented? A cross-national comparative analysis of cross-platform news audience fragmentation and duplication” in Journal of Communication.
2017: Matt Carlson “Metajournalistic discourse and the meanings of journalism: Definitional control, boundary work, and legitimation” in Communication Theory.
2016: Oscar Westlund and Seth C. Lewis Actors, “Actants, Audiences, and Activities in Cross-Media News Work” in Digital Journalism.

NDA freshman Skinner living up to expectations
Before the start of the swimming and diving season, Notre Dame Academy coach Emily Knoll expressed optimism about the impending impact of freshman newcomer Sophie Skinner, the latest Northern Kentucky Clippers standout to swim for the Pandas.
It was cautious optimism, based on finishing times and the first-hand wow factor that introduced itself to Knoll when she first saw Skinner in the pool.
"I expect great things from her right away," Knoll said in the fall. "But I like talking about my seniors before the season, and the girls who've been here. I want to wait until Sophie's had some success."
Now is the time to talk about Skinner. She was named the outstanding female competitor at the Region 4 championships at Silverlake with four first-place finishes, three in record times. She is the area's only top-ranked girls' competitor in her event on the psyche sheet at this week's state swimming and diving championships at University of Louisville's Ralph Wright Natatorium. She's No. 1 in the 100-yard freestyle.
The state meet gets underway with Thursday's 6 p.m. boys' diving preliminaries. Scott's Nick Fox, one of three top-seeded area boys, is No. 1 in diving.
Boys' swimming preliminaries begin at 10 a.m. Friday. CovCath's Brendan Meyer in the 500 freestyle and Beechwood's Austin Haney in the 200 free are the other top-seeded local boys. CovCath is the returning state runner-up with an eye on defending champion Louisville St. Xavier, a winner last year over the Colonels by 32.5 points.
Girls' diving preliminaries start at 3:30 p.m. Friday, followed by girls' swimming prelims at 6:30. Defending state diving champion Carly Hill of Highlands is seeded second.
The boys' swimming finals get underway at 10 a.m. Saturday, and will be followed by the girls' finals starting at 4:15 p.m.
Skinner is top-seeded in the 100-yard freestyle with a regional finishing time of 51.23 seconds. That's more than one-quarter of a second faster than No. 2 Brooke Bauer, who posted a regional clocking of 51.49 for Louisville Sacred Heart.
"I was not expecting us to break five regional records, and Sophie broke a record from 1994, which is amazing," said Knoll. "She's had a really good year."

Project Hail Mary; Andy Weir
Ballantine Books and Brilliance Audio - 2021
(audio narrator - Ray Porter - fantastic)
I put this book on the back burner for a while even though I enjoyed The Martian by Andy Weir. It's just that SF is generally not my thing. After several rave reviews from fellow bloggers, I decide to try a combo (eBook/audio) and I was so glad I did.
Ryland Grace is a junior high science teacher, concerned about the Earth's dropping temperatures possibly leading to another ice age. One day he wakes up on a space ship light years away and naked as well except for some breathing apparatus and lots of connected tubes and cameras watching him. He eventually finds out that he is the sole survivor of a suicide mission and how all that came to be.
There is a character, well okay an alien life form, named Rocky that add so much interest and made for some fun as well as touching moments between he and Ryland. Learning what actually happened through flashbacks worked so well. I loved the audio narration but, was glad I had the eBook as well so I could gloss over some of the scientific and math components which bored me a bit. There was a good amount of funny dialogue which I especially enjoyed. If you'd like to try something different be sure to check this one out. I sure hope the movie is in the works as, I enjoyed The Martian by Andy Weir which I read/reviewed in 2015 - the movie was great as well
Rating - 4.5/5 stars
NOTE: The eBook download was sent to me by the publisher at no cost and the audio book was borrowed from my public library.

SARASOTA – In the thick of summer, the FSU/Asolo Conservatory’s Dog Days Theatre is back for its second season.
What the Butler Saw is the first show in this year’s season of Dog Days Theatre.
“..which is about literate, smart, contemporary plays that have just enough of a gloss on them to be the kind of material people wanna enjoy during the dog days of summer,” Director Greg Leaming said.
The story follows Dr. Prentice, a psychiatrist known for seducing secretaries, played by David Kortemeier.
He says as more and more characters enter the scene, comedy ensues.
“People change clothes, people get their clothes off, get their clothes on, and off we go,” Kortemeier said.
He says the language is what makes this show special.
“The text feels much like an Oscar Wilde comedy, but there’s a bite to it,” Kortemeier said. “It’s a farce, so there’s plenty of physical comedy as well, but the primary vehicle is the language in this play.”
That’s something Leaming, as director, kept in mind during rehearsals.
“The audiences here are so smart and so sophisticated and so literate, and this is an intensely literate, witty play,” Leaming said. “I mean, there’s a big difference between comedy and wit.”
He says this is a comedy but one that gets the wheels turning, poking at the hypocrisy of the 1960’s.
“It’s making a culture think about itself a little bit more, but also making them laugh while they do it,” Leaming said.
What the Butler Saw runs thru July 29.

“Oregon Republican senators end walkout, but legislature remains dogged by controversy” – USA Today
Most Republican senators returned to the Oregon Senate on Saturday, ending their walkout and allowing the chamber to vote on 105 bills.
- Most Republican senators returned to the Oregon Senate on Saturday, ending their walkout and allowing the chamber to vote on 105 bills as lawmakers raced to finish their work before the constitutional session deadline at midnight Sunday.
- The first vote the Senate held was on HB 2020 – the greenhouse gas emissions cap-and-trade bill that sent Senate Republicans fleeing from the state last week.
- The bill does not have the votes to pass the Senate and is dead, according to lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
- Two campaign finance bills passed out of the Senate, one on its way to the governor’s desk and the other to the House.
- A trio of the most controversial bills remaining on the Senate agenda passed without anything said against them, a significant departure from the rhetoric previously in session.
- The House convened for about half an hour Saturday afternoon, primarily for procedural work, then during an evening session plowed through budget bills sent from the Senate.
- The House is expected to do more work on legislation Saturday night and Sunday, as the Senate sends more bills to the lower chamber.

Crucial time ahead for Pardew
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will return to his desk on Monday facing 10 pivotal days in a season which is unravelling at an alarming rate.
- Related Content
The Magpies plunged deeper into crisis on Saturday when, having battered fellow strugglers Reading to the brink of submission, they turned in an abject second-half performance to surrender a 1-0 lead and eventually go down 2-1 in a game they simply could not afford to lose if they wanted to show they were not in a relegation scrap.
They now find themselves just two points clear of the Barclays Premier League drop zone ahead of another huge fixture at Aston Villa - where they were relegated at the end of the 2008-09 season - on January 29.
Press Association Sport understands Pardew, who was booed by the home fans as he made his second-half substitutions, followed by a chorus of "You don't know what you're doing", is under no immediate pressure despite winning just three of the 18 league games since he signed his eight-year contract at the end of September.
That is largely a reflection of an acknowledgement at boardroom level that a significant proportion of the trouble which has befallen his side in recent months has been beyond his control.
Demba Ba's contract situation was a ticking time bomb which was always likely to explode in the manager's face, while want-away skipper Fabricio Coloccini's personal problems could not have been foreseen, and there is an acceptance that the club's summer transfer policy, which saw them recruit only Vurnon Anita to the senior ranks, was flawed.
Owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias will attempt to address several of those issues before the close of the January transfer window - they will hold talks with Coloccini and his representatives this week, while Montpellier defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is due on Tyneside on Monday, and the hunt for a striker after Loic Remy's late defection to QPR is ongoing.
In the meantime, Pardew will attempt to regroup and plot a route out of an increasingly cloying mire while at the same time persuading disaffected fans that he can turn a difficult situation around.
Striker Shola Ameobi said: "Obviously the fans are entitled to that. They pay their money to come and watch us play and hopefully win and when we are not doing that, it's understandable that they are frustrated.
"But I'd like to say there is no-one as frustrated as the players ourselves and the manager.
"We understand that the team here is geared to win and when we are not doing that, the fans are entitled to that.
"But they have to keep on believing because as players, we are and we are working as hard as we can. We are just not getting the rub of the green at the moment, and that's usually what happens when you are down there fighting in the relegation spots.
"The message from our point of view is keep on believing, keep on backing us and hopefully, we can turn this around sooner rather than later.
"We have got a very good group of lads who have, I believe, the attitude that it takes to be a great side.
"Unfortunately, when you go on a losing run, it's hard to break out of it, and that's what we are finding now.
"But it's not for the lack of endeavour, not for the lack of trying and we have got characters in there who want to help this club win."
In truth, Newcastle should have had the game wrapped up by half-time after dominating the opening 45 minutes.
On another day, striker Papiss Cisse might have had a hat-trick but for the heroics of keeper Adam Federici.
But in the event, they had only the returning Yohan Cabaye's exquisite 35th-minute free-kick - just Newcastle's second goal in four games since Ba's departure for Chelsea - to show for their efforts.
However, the break proved a watershed in the game and as the Royals stepped up a gear, their hosts simply fell apart.
Substitute Adam le Fondre bundled home Jimmy Kebe's 71st-minute cross within seconds of coming off the bench with defender Mike Williamson and keeper Tim Krul both culpable, and the newcomer took advantage of further woeful defending to win the game six minutes later.
Pardew's decisions to replace first Sylvain Marveaux and then Cabaye did not go down well, although he later revealed injury had forced the latter off the pitch.
He said: "I actually thought Yohan would get through the game with the work he has done, and that just rebounded on me in a way I couldn't foresee."

Rochester Red Wings hire former player Toby Gardenhire as new manager
Former Rochester Red Wings ultra-utility man Toby Gardenhire has been hired as manager for the 2020 season, the team announced Friday.
Gardenhire, 37, replaces Joel Skinner, 58, who led the Red Wings to 64- and 70-win seasons the past two years. Rochester has won 10 Governor’s Cup championships, but none since 1997, and it last made the International League playoffs in 2013.
Opening Day 2020 is April 9 vs. Lehigh Valley at Frontier Field.
Who is Toby Gardenhire? Here is what you need to know about the 45th manager in the Red Wings' storied history:
His dad is an MLB manager
He’s the son of former New York Mets infielder, longtime Minnesota Twins manager and current Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire, who was AL Manager of the Year in 2010.
Gardenhire was drafted by the Twins
Toby, who was born in New York, was twice drafted by the Twins (38th round in 2002 and 41st round in 2005). He played seven seasons in the Twins organization, all at the minor league level. In 533 career games, he played all nine defensive positions, including pitcher. He rose to AAA with the Red Wings in 2010 and 2011 where he played 153 games, hitting .228 with 15 doubles, five home runs, and 44 RBI. He had a .990 fielding percentage playing mostly second base for Rochester in 2011.
He became a head coach before age 30
He entered the coaching ranks in 2012, serving as head coach of the University of Wisconsin-Stout. In 2017, he was manager Mike Quade’s third-base coach for half a season in Rochester, then finished that summer as hitting coach for the Twins' rookie team in the Gulf Coast League.
His minor-league teams have made the playoffs
The past two years have been spent managing in Class A, with Cedar Rapids in 2018 and Fort Myers (A+) in 2019. He led both squads to the playoffs.
Gardenhire is the first former Red Wing to manage the team in almost 20 years
Gardenhire is the 16th person to manage the Wings full-time after previously playing for Rochester and he’s the first since Andy Etchebarren (2001-02). The others: Jerry Narron, Johnny Oates, Frank Verdi, Joe Altobelli, Cal Ripken Sr., Ellis “Cot” Deal, Harry “The Hat” Walker, Johnny Keane, Pepper Martin, Estel Crabtree, Ray Blades, Tony Kaufmann, George “Specs” Toporcer and Billy Southworth.
Gardenhire’s staff was also announced: Ex-Twins pitcher Cibney Bello will serve as pitching coach, Matt Borgschulte has been promoted from Class A Fort Myers to be hitting coach in Rochester; Robbie Robinson will serve as assistant coach after two years managing at lower levels in the Twins system; and Jason Kirkman is the club’s new trainer after previously working for the United States Tennis Association. Bullpen coach Mike McCarthy and strength and conditioning coach Jacob Dean were retained from Skinner’s staff.

Ah i did not add that sorry. I added 1.5 liters worth. Basically filled up the small carboy I am using, dumped that into the ginger, boiled for a bit and then added to the honey. After just over an hour I reduce the volume by 2/3. It had a nice dark toffee color to it and smelled really nice.
In larger batches of bochet I have done about 3 parts water to one part honey, and end up adding a few cups of water as it reduces to keep the water to honey ratio up if I am not at my target color.
The temp on this was on a high flame with the gas stove. Never took an actual temp of it. I may need to do that in the future. This only took an hour to get to the color I wanted. Usually for larger batches I run it at a lower temp at about a medium low flame to keep the level of the boil down. My pots are not that big and I constantly have to fight it from boiling over. When I do that it may take close to 2 hours to reach the same level of color.

More than 16,000 people have signed a petition demanding that the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) be fired for calling medical marijuana a "joke" last week."What really bothers me is the notion that marijuana is also medicinal — because it's not," DEA Administrator Chuck Rosenberg said during a press briefing on November 4. "We can have an intellectually honest debate about whether we should legalize something that is bad and dangerous, but don't call it medicine — that is a joke."
Related: The DEA Chief Just Called Medical Marijuana a 'Joke'Rosenberg hastened to add that "extracts or constituents or component parts" may hold promise as medicinal substances, but that smoking "the leaf" of the marijuana plant has never been shown to be safe or effective. (The DEA chief apparently confused marijuana leaves, which contain only trace amounts of the psychoactive compound THC, with buds, which are far more potent and commonly smoked.)Medical marijuana advocates quickly criticized Rosenberg, complaining that the DEA blocks medical and scientific research on weed. Many of the petition's signatories include patients with chronic illnesses who say pot has changed their lives.
"While it's nothing new for drug war bureaucrats to oppose sensible marijuana policies, Rosenberg's comments go way too far," the petition, posted on Change.org, reads. "Medical marijuana is not a "joke" to the millions of seriously ill patients in a growing number of states who use it legally in accordance with doctors' recommendations."The petition calls for President Barack Obama to "fire Chuck Rosenberg and appoint a new DEA administrator who will respect science, medicine, patients and voters."The petition was started by Tom Angell, a leader of the pro-pot advocacy group Marijuana Majority. Angell told VICE News he hopes the number of signatures — including one by singer Melissa Etheridge — will "get the White House to take note that this administration's DEA head is saying things that are offensive to millions of American families who have benefited from medical marijuana."
'It worries me that he is so ignorant as to say that it's a joke. My daughter's medicine is not a joke to me.'
The head of the DEA should show an openness toward scientific inquiry and medical opinions on the effectiveness of pot in accordance with the President's position, Angell said."The DEA has historically been ardently opposed to any sort of marijuana reform, but the president has said let's let science, not ideology, dictate our policies. If he really believes that then before he leaves office he should appoint someone as head of the DEA who is willing to abide by science and what science says on drugs," Angell said.Elizabeth Collins, the mother of a 16-year-old girl with chronic epilepsy, is a vocal advocate for legislation that allows medical marijuana. Collins said she has tried to meet with Rosenberg and other DEA officials to try and explain how helpful a marijuana extract has been for her daughter, but she's never gotten a response. Collins signed the Change.org petition.Related: How America's Legal Weed Is Changing the Black Market and Influencing Mexican Cartels"I think someone who has that amount of power over arrests having to do with a substance should be well-versed on the substance and be able to speak factually about it," Collins said. "It worries me that he is so ignorant as to say that it's a joke. My daughter's medicine is not a joke to me."
Her daughter, Jennifer, suffered between 300 and 500 seizures a day and was once heavily medicated on pharmaceuticals, which caused side effects that ranged from depression and self-harm to rage and harming her mother. Jennifer lost her ability to focus and think clearly in school as well, Collins said.Two years ago, Elizabeth and Jennifer left the rest of their family behind and traveled from their home in Virginia, where medical marijuana was illegal, to Colorado, which has legalized the drug for both medical and recreational use. They ultimately returned to Virginia, and Elizabeth successfully lobbied the state legislature to allow her to administer the marijuana extract to her daughter.Watch the VICE News documentary Inside America's Billion-Dollar Weed Business: The Grass Is Greener:"After starting the treatment she was able to go down on medication to only one pill and all those behaviors have stopped. She's doing much better in school, she's able to think," Collins said. "[Jennifer] says it's completely changed her life."Collins has met with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Office of National Drug Control Policy to make her case for a change to federal laws. She says the petition shows the anger that citizens feel toward the DEA and legislators who refuse to loosen restrictions on medical marijuana research."They're not listening to the people. The majority of American people want access to this medicine and lawmakers aren't doing what we want and that's really, really frustrating," she said.
The DEA did not respond to a request for comment from VICE News.Related: Medical Marijuana Patients Are Getting Fired — And There's Not Much They Can Do About ItAngell said his own mother uses marijuana to treat severe pain in her legs caused by multiple sclerosis. He disagreed with the Rosenberg's claim that extracts are the only legitimate form of medical marijuana."Right now patients are suffering and doctors recommend they use whole plant marijuana and they are legally able to do that under state law. We shouldn't criminalize that while we wait for the pharmaceutical industry and regulators to develop these other medications."He also pointed out that science aside, Rosenberg is politically out of touch with the way most of America feels about medical marijuana. The activist cited polls that found an overwhelming percentage of Americans think medical marijuana should be legal. Twenty-three states and Washington, DC have already changed their laws to allow some form of medical marijuana.Follow Colleen Curry on Twitter: @currycolleen

Fortepiano Boisselot, 1846
You are welcome to use/reprint our texts and photos with credit and/or a link back to Paul McNulty fortepianos.
Louis Constantin Boisselot (1809-1850) was one of the most active piano builders in a dynasty of instrument makers, publishers and composers. He befriended Franz Liszt in their teens in Paris, and named his son Franz after the child’s godfather.
Liszt composed the majority of his mature oeuvre at this piano. The composer wrote to Xavier Boisselot: “As you know, I have kept for the last thirteen years in my study in Weimar the grand piano that your excellent brother Louis sent to me in Odessa in 1846. Although the keys are nearly worn through by the battles fought upon them by the music of the past, present and future, I will never agree to change it, and have resolved to keep it until the end of my days, as a favoured work associate.”
This piano evokes the height of Boisselot’s fame as France’s largest piano manufacturer.

More than 30 states have decried President Obama's openness to Syrian refugees. And New Jersey Gov. and Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said this week that the nation should not even accept orphans under the age of 5.
I am a migrant education advocate for Greeley-Evans District 6. In this small Colorado town, we see firsthand the effects of refugee resettlement. Migrants and refugees from around the world find their way here, mostly for work at the sprawling JBS USA meatpacking plant nearby.
Students in my district speak 68 languages and dialects and come from more than 60 countries.
This diversity and openness is beautiful, not troublesome.
There are 19 million refugees in the world today, and the vast majority of them are victims, not perpetrators, of the crimes we so fear. For refugees, the world is violent and cruel.
Policies of no admittance paint an image of a world that bears no relief, no shelter, a world that is hostile and unforgiving. Hostility and xenophobia only fuel resentment towards the United States and provide further fodder for ideologies of hate.
One of my students, Aden, fled Eritrea with her family when she was a child. She was captured, and while incarcerated, saw people tortured and killed. She managed to get out alive, only to reside for years in a hot and cramped refugee camp in Ethiopia. By some miracle, she now numbers among the 1 percent of refugees who are resettled worldwide.
Eritrean refugees like Aden often flee to Libya, and seek asylum alongside Syrians. They dole out their life savings for smugglers to help them find better lives. Sometimes the smugglers hold family members for ransom. Sometimes the smugglers leave them for dead in the desert. Sometimes the smugglers pack them toe-to-heel in leaky boats in the Mediterranean, boats that capsize and from which there is no escape.
And sometimes they make it to safety.
Refugees are people — people with dreams and desires and pasts and futures and with so much to share. Opening our doors is what makes us who we are and keeps us that way.
One popular strain of anti-refugee discourse focuses on the apparent hypocrisy of a nation that finds it easier to house and feed 10,000 refugees than it is to meet the same basic needs of our nation's homeless veterans.
This rhetoric highlights a number of important issues. We must fundamentally alter our policies towards homelessness, towards mental illness, towards unemployment, towards poverty. But this is not mutually exclusive with the acceptance and admittance of refugees. In fact, after eight months in the country, refugees must pay back the government for all travel expenses they have incurred.
When national security takes precedence over our basic humanity, we have nothing left to protect.
We must avoid knee-jerk reactions and vitriol. We must engage this issue with the nuance and care it deserves, and treat these displaced peoples with the respect they deserve.
Nick Mott is a migrant education advocate in Greeley.

Just as the laws of supply and demand affect the prices consumers pay for goods and services, they also affect the labor market. Instead of directly dealing with consumer goods, the labor market involves the relationship between workers and firms in the marketplace. Firms in essence are the buyers and individuals provide the labor or supply. However, both act as wage-takers; firms must take and pay the rates the market demands and workers must accept these wages for the work provided.
Firms need workers to produce goods for consumers. The amount of labor demanded by a firm depends on several factors, including how much the labor costs -- as determined by the market wage rate -- and how much labor the firm needs. To maximize profits, firms ideally want to hire more workers at lower wages. This creates a downward-sloping demand curve as it relates to labor wage rates. As firms buy up more labor, wage rates decrease. When firms demand and hire less workers, wages increase.
Individual workers in the market make up the labor supply by deciding how willing they are to provide service to firms given a set wage. When workers anticipate higher wages, the supply of labor increases. The labor supply decreases when wages are low. As such, the supply curve is an upward-sloping line, although the line may be different for individual workers. In other words, each person has different opportunities and can make choices about how to spend their time.
Equilibrium in a perfectly competitive labor market occurs when the supply of labor equals the labor demand. On a graph, you can see equilibrium as the intersection between the two curves. Referred to as "full employment," this intersection assumes that each individual that wants to work has a job. Shifts in equilibrium create either a labor surplus or labor shortage. When the market wage rate increases, the theoretical demand for labor decreases and a labor surplus (more workers than jobs) occurs. As market wages decrease below the equilibrium rate, the demand for labor is greater than the supply, creating a shortage of workers.
Several different forces can affect both the demand for labor and the supply of labor, affecting wages, employment levels and thus equilibrium. For example, changes in firms' demand for labor could result from consumer demand for products or a change in government regulations that affect labor costs. Changes in the supply of labor can result from the population, such as a growth that expands the size of the labor force or a change in the age composition of workers, such as more elderly or younger workers. Labor supply can also change because of workers' preferences and attitudes toward the labor market.

Colorado voters will get the chance to vote on lower property taxes this November.
The Secretary of State's Office said Initiative 27 has enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot.
The proposal would permanently cut Colorado’s residential property tax assessment rate to 6.5%, and 7.1% cut. The commercial rate to 26.4%, a decrease of 29%, while putting $25 million into the state’s Homestead Exemption for senior citizens and disabled veterans.
Supporters of the ballot measure characterize it as an antidote to the soaring home values that result in higher taxes, and that the state would still collect more revenue than in the past.
Supporters of the measure turned in 192,562 signatures on Aug. 2, and 138,567 qualified as registered voters. Getting on the statewide ballot requires 124,632, signatures, which represents 5% of the number of people who voted in the last secretary of state's race.
The ballot question was filed in April by the conservative advocacy group Colorado Rising State Action. Opponents, primarily Democrats, will argue that the cut will hurt local government, schools and other needs supported by property taxes.
In the last legislative session, Democrats mostly sought to mitigate the losses by passing Senate Bill 293 to reclassify property taxes into more categories beyond residential and commercial. One of the last bills introduced, the tax proposal viewed by those on the right as an end-around that will reduce the tax savings by hundreds of millions of dollars.
The ballot question was originally expected to save taxpayers more than $1 billion.

Making cooking easier when you are stretched for time/working from home.
Whether you have been cooking for a while or are just a beginner, I promise you, it is not that hard to batch cook, make life simpler and plan ahead.
Speed Things Up
Step one ,lots of recipes give instructions for dicing, chopping ,minced, slicing, julienne, a food processor can be used for a lot of these tasks, if you do not have a food processer it is a great investment and speeds up prep time. If you are cutting veg with a knife, main trick is to keep all the veg roughly the same size ,this speeds up the cooking process.
1. Turn Dinner Into Lunch
Make a gluten free veg, meat or poultry curry ,make extra and for lunch the next day, heat it in the microwave and wrap it in a gluten free wrap.
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- ½ cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 small yellow pepper, diced
- 2 washed Maris piper potatoes, diced
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 1 small, sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 1/2 Garam Masala
- 1 red chilli
- ½ tsp of turmeric powder
- 10 cauliflower florets
- 1/2 tin light coconut milk
- Half tin of drained chickpeas
- Handful of fresh coriander chopped
2. Method For Vegetable Curry
- Pulse ginger and garlic in food processor until finely chopped. Add tomatoes with juice and cayenne pepper, and pulse until Keep this for later in the recipe
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and pepper, cook, until softened(7 mins).
- Stir in potatoes, carrots, garam masala, and chilli powder. Cover reduce heat low, and cook for 10 minutes, stir
- Add cauliflower, tomato mix from step 1 and 1 cup of Simmer for 20 minutes. Take off the heat stir in coconut milk. Add black pepper. Sprinkle in chopped coriander.
3. Soup To Sauce
Make gluten free mushroom soup,(recipe on Minding me Gluten free course) make double the recipe, this can be converted into a pasta sauce with the addition of cream or low-fat Greek yoghurt.
If you like fish, bake or grill a piece of fresh skinless hake or cod and use the same sauce.
The sauce can be used with the addition of some chopped cooked bacon to serve with cooked chicken fillets.
4. Doubling Up
Do two dinners on one evening, plan a roast for one evening, while it is cooking make chilli con carne.
To reduce meat consumption, substitute half of the meat with tinned cooked flageolet beans or cannellini beans. Alternatively try our recipe for chicken and white bean chilli (Minding me gluten free course )
5. Tray Away
When the oven is on at weekend for the Sunday roast, throw in an extra tray of chopped root vegetables and baby potatoes, tossed in olive oil and Cajun seasoning.
When the vegetables are cold pop these into portion sizes in freezer bags. They can keep in the fridge for 3 days or you can freeze them. These portions can simply be used with a portion of meat, fish, or poultry during the week.
A portion can be used to make a delicious omelette.
For dinner, a portion can be added to cooked tinned lentils with diced gluten free chorizo.

They have qualified for the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) Nations Cup three times, and they have even won a few matches.
In 2014, the team played against the world’s top-ranked team, Germany, in a friendly match. They lost 1-0, but they put up a respectable fight.

PROPHETS of gloom and doom have never been popular in the United States, but I have to confess it isn't easy to stay away from jeremiads in the face of what is being said about taxes in this country.
It's as if most of us have forgotten that the reason we have taxes is to pay for the things that make life worth living -- things like schools and highways and parks and health care and security, just to mention a few.
One of the reasons for the chaos in Washington is that Congress J. HerbertAltschulland the administration are afraid to raise taxes in an election year. And most of the callers I have been hearing on the radio talk shows are furious over the prospect. Too many taxes, they say, and besides, the wrong people are being taxed.
Meaning themselves, I guess, although no one actually says it's OK to tax the other guy if you leave me alone. Instead, people seem to believe the federal budget can be balanced by cutting some (unidentified) services.
Which ones, I wonder: schools or highways or parks or health care or security?
Of course we spend too much money on "defense," and of course we spend too much money on the interest on the national debt. And on a few other items.
But it is very difficult to make huge cuts in defense, and if we did, many thousands of Americans would be thrown out of jobs, and that would mean even less federal revenue and probably an even deeper recession than the one we are bumbling into.
The only possible way to reduce the fabulous national debt is to raise the money to start paying it off -- and that means higher taxes.
So why the howls from the public? Why the campaign in Maryland to put a crippling cap on property taxes? Why the cowardly vote in the House against the budget compromise? (It wasn't a perfect solution, but what compromise is?)
I can think of several explanations, and none of them is encouraging. Too many Americans want something for nothing, meaning services without paying for them. Or, perhaps even more selfishly, they want somebody else to pay for them.
There is little doubt that most members of Congress who voted against the budget compromise did so out of fear that if they didn't, they wouldn't be re-elected in November. They had been listening to the talk shows, too, and they were afraid to risk losing votes.
No one can deny that there are many things wrong with our tax structure. The rich get too many tax breaks and pay out a smaller percentage of their income in taxes than do the poor or the middle class. The burden needs to be shifted so that those who can afford it pay the greatest share.
And on the expenditure side, defense costs are absurdly high, especially since the winding down of the Cold War. The interest ought to be repaid rather than increased. An elemental rule: When you don't balance your budget with higher taxes, the interest goes up.
Honest taxpayers ought not to have to pay for the elegant houses and vacation trips enjoyed by the savings and loan swindlers. Nor ought taxpayers have to foot the postage bill for congressional campaign literature.
Even so, we must pay taxes. Our government is designed to be not only for the people but also of the people. And that means we have to pay for what we get.
President Bush didn't start the opposition to taxes, but he sure did give that opposition one enormous -- and very harmful -- push in his infamous "read my lips" message. He knows better, too, but he wanted to be elected more than he wanted to level with the voters. Remember that he once called the no-tax, trickle-down theory "voodoo economics."
Taxes for Americans are not the highest in the Western world; they are among the lowest. Naturally, it's the same with services. We receive fewer services than do other countries.
Medical care is free or at least very inexpensive in all other Western countries, and not just for the elderly. In Germany and Belgium and most other European countries, education is free -- all the way through college.
There is no record of the survival of a society that operated on the principle of something for nothing.
Nor of one that launched a military venture halfway around the world and then went about, hat in hand, asking somebody else to pay for it.
Maybe it's time for Jeremiah to drop around again and remind us that free lunches are available only Up There, not Down Here.
J. Herbert Altschull is a historian and journalist who teaches in B the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University.

We all love watching movies, don’t we? And sometimes – although doing so don’t really makes any sense in the end – we read critics. Critics who pile praisal and worship on every movie they watch while we are left with unanswered questions or script holes, makes you suspicious of things… And most of the time you’d be right of being so.
Don’t lose hope though, out there there are a few good men who points out stupid things in even our most beloved movies. And they do it in style. They have assembled and created humorously honest movie trailers that puts a funny spin on their opinion of the films.
Here are a few of them,

Catching the judge’s eye to win the senior, pedigree and supreme overall championship ribbons was the ten-month-old heifer Aghadolgan Udiva brought out by Raymond Savage, and daughter Louise Cowan, who run a 20-cow herd at Drumahoe.

This much-admired heifer is the result of an embryo purchased by Louise at a charity auction. Donated by the Alford family from the Foxhillfarm Herd in Devon, the embryo was from Foxhillfarm Nadiya and the 22,000gns Gunnerfleet Lion.
“The overall champion is a tremendous heifer,” commented the judge. “She oozes style and breed character, and is and full of show potential. Definitely a heifer with an exciting future ahead of her.”

Reserve senior and reserve pedigree champion was the ten-month-old Fortfield Una bred by Colm O’Hare from Mayobridge. She stood second in her class to the champion, and is the result of an embryo from the 5-cow herd’s privately purchased Claragh Olive and the AI sire Derrygullinane Kingbull.
William Smith added: “Another very good heifer displaying the beef attributes of the Limousin breed. She is a real cow maker!”
Leading the junior championship line-up was another embryo-bred calf, Wastelands Upandcoming from Charlotte Martin’s 6-cow herd at Dromara. This five-month-old bull is by Gunnerfleet Lion and bred from Corranhill Something Special – purchased at the Irish Limousin Society’s 50th Anniversary Sale at Carrick-on-Shannon in October 2022.

Runner-up for the junior championship was Frewstown Uewmoon, a six-month-old heifer calf bred by Derek Frew from Antrim. She is the result of an embryo mating from Springsett President and the Ampertaine Elgin daughter, Johnstown Rose.
“The junior winners are two lovely examples of the breed. There was very little between them, but on the day my preference was the bull calf, simply because he was slightly more forward.”
Reserve junior champion was Frewstown Uewmoon exhibited by Jason Frew. Included is sponsor Emma Murphy, Ross Farm Supplies. Picture: Alfie Shaw, Agri-Images.
Claiming the day’s commercial and reserve overall championship titles was the junior heifer Bambushka exhibited by Allen Shortt and Jack Smyth. Sired by Rocky, and bred from a British Blue cow, she was purchased at the Carrick Winter Fair in November.

“This heifer is well-balanced and will be a serious cow maker. I’m sure she’ll have a good summer on the show circuit,” added the judge.
The reserve commercial champion was a yearling heifer called Pop Idol from JCB Commercials. Sired by the 17,000gns Trueman Idol, she was bred from a British Blue dam.

Elanor Reilly from the Rockstar Herd in County Cavan judged the young handlers’ classes at the 2024 show. She praised the high standard of showmanship and said it was encouraging to see strong classes with enthusiastic competitors.
The overall winner was intermediate competitor Oliver Taggart; while the reserve award went to senior class winner Serena Murphy.
“Both competitors were smartly dressed and very knowledgeable. They were alert in the showring and handled their animals with confidence.”

Darryl Geary, chairman of the NI Young Limousin Breeders’ Club thanked the judges, spectators, exhibitors and sponsors for supporting the event. “It has been another successful show, and it’s encouraging to see so many young members getting involved. I’ve no doubt the future of the Limousin breed is in safe hands.
“I’d also like to thank our willing volunteers and Ballymena Market for the use of its excellent facilities.”
