The second generation Motorola Moto 360 takes the design up a notch with two sizes, 42 mm and 46 mm, and some pretty nice Moto Maker customization. It can be ordered with a contrasting bezel and a variety of leather and stainless link bands. Let’s take a quick look at the specs before we go into our in-depth review.
- Processor: 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400
- Display: 1.56-inch 360 x 330 (233ppi) and 1.37-inch 360 x 325 (263ppi) LCD with Gorilla Glass 3
- Memory: 512 MB of RAM
- Storage: 4 GB internal storage
- Battery: 400 mAh and 300 mAh non-removable
- OS: Android Wear
Design & Build Quality
The new Motorola Moto 360 is available in 42 mm and 46 mm sizes; it’s more for sizing and comfort. The first generation was 46 mm, and it’s better suited to big boned men. The 42 mm is the more mainstream size.
Much like the predecessor, its highly responsive display and the slight protrusion gives better viewing angles. However, previous Moto 360 users will still find the second generation model having the blacked-out section at the bottom of the display. It’s more of a personal annoyance than anything major, but as we’ve seen competitors launch a fully circular display and it seems strange Motorola has failed to do so here.
Its build quality has also seen an improvement compared to its predecessor. Overall, we really love that Motorola has launched the second generation of its smartwatch in two different size.
The Moto 360 display is much improved in terms of brightness and color saturation. It is protected by the Gorilla Glass 3 instead of sapphire crystal, but we expect it to hold up well to its competition. Like the predecessor, it has an ambient light sensor hidden under the blacked-out section at the bottom of the display.
For the second generation Moto 360, the company upgraded the CPU to a quad core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 CPU so there’s no lag as compared to the first generation model. The rest of of the specs are on par with its competition, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal storage.
Other sensors equipped with the watch are a pedometer and an optical heart rate monitor. The optical heart rate monitor is no longer an always-on feature. Rather, it’ll take the user’s reading every 5 minutes. Paired with Moto Body, it help monitor users overall activity level, providing detailed stats about the user’s activity levels along with reminders to help the user reach their daily and weekly activity goals.
We also noticed that the vibration on the new Moto 360 is pretty subtle and easy to miss but overall, there’s an improvement on the performance of the second generation Moto 360.
The first generation Moto 360’s battery life was short of good. However, we are glad that the new Moto 360’s battery life has very much improved. In fact, it will make it through to about noon the next day if users forget to charge it. The 42 mm models have a 300 mAh battery while the 46mm has a 400 mAh battery (there’s more room for that larger battery). We have the 42 mm for review, so we’re quoting our results based on that. We’d expect the 46 mm to last 1.5 to perhaps 2 days on a charge.
The new Moto 360 runs the latest version of Android Wear based on Android 5 Lollipop with support for a few new and important features like syncing to the iPhone (syncing to Android devices is still a core feature) and Wi-Fi sync to increase device to watch communication range; no more disconnects when users walk to away from the paired device.
There are a few games, calculators and other handy apps that users can interact with on the smartwatch itself. Still, we would like to think that Android Wear smartwatches are basically an extension of the user’s device and that’s Google’s plan for Android Wear all along. Users will no longer need to pull device out of pocket to check for notifications.
The Moto 360 (2015) is available in two sizes and both men’s and women’s models. There are a variety of colors, bands and bezel treatments to choose from, and the price isn’t higher than the competition. In terms of functionality, Android Wear is slowly moving forward.
Overall, we really enjoyed the great improvements over the first generation Moto 360. Moto keeps the price relatively reasonable, with the price starting at $299 for the 42 mm and $349 for the 46 mm, and a variety of upscale tweaks like a stainless band, bezel patterns and gold color can raise the price anywhere up to $399 for the 42 mm and $449 for the 46 mm.


GHOTKI: Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), has announced the introduction of an interest-free lending program in Sindh. On Wednesday, the PPP chairman spoke at a ceremony in Ghotki to award homes to those impacted by floods in Sindh. He said that two weeks ago, the Sindh government began a scheme to offer proprietary rights to construct homes. In locations where homes were destroyed by rain and flooding, Bilawal announced that the government will erect concrete homes.
He stated that when the devastating floods hit Pakistan last year, Sindh was the hardest-impacted province. In Sindh, he predicted, women will have more power. He said that the provincial government offers interest-free loans to all residents of the province.
Murad Ali Shah, the chief minister, stated that 24 of Sindh’s 27 districts suffered flooding on this occasion. He claimed that farmers were the group in society that was most impacted. The UN secretary general visited Pakistan to view the extensive damage brought on by the floods, according to him, because of Bilawal’s efforts as PPP chairman. He said that the Sindh government had received funding for the construction of hospitals and schools. He said that the loan from Asian Bank was used to improve schools all around the province.

The team’s No. 007 Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 race car that competes in the GT Daytona class of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship will carry a striking, unique livery featuring Residences at the Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach logos and branding at the Sebring race and preliminary events.

Each floor includes just nine one-, two- and three-bedroom Residences, with all featuring gorgeous, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River. The “ground floor” residences sit 176 feet above the sand, towering above surrounding structures.
Owners at the Residences at the Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach will enjoy an elevated luxury lifestyle similar to what is found in New York, Los Angeles or Miami’s South Beach. Lavish amenities will be numerous, including:

The melding of these brands and their customers will create an attractive platform through which we can identify ownership opportunities for residences that will set the new standard for luxury and style that Daytona is ready for.”
Added Nelson Parker, Head of Development, The Americas for Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos: “Daytona Beach is a perfect fit for the global energy lifestyle of the Hard Rock brand and the high-performance racing world where TRG-AMR shines. We are thrilled to bring our unique positioning and experience to this legacy Florida market in concert with Bayshore and their important strategic alliance with TRG-AMR.”
The new partnership between TRG-AMR and Bayshore Capital expands a program that began at the Rolex 24 At Daytona in late January at Daytona International Speedway, a classic global race in which TRG-AMR has won the GT class four times since 2002.
Bayshore launched the VIP WORLD PREVIEW of the Residences at the Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach during the Rolex 24 at Daytona, including an invitation-only VIP Launch Party in the Infield Display Area at Daytona International Speedway open to attendees throughout the weekend. One of the largest Rolex 24 crowds in recent history turned out for the race, and many visited the presentation center to gather information or to reserve the opportunity to own a Residence at the Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach.
“The response has been tremendous,” Wolfond said. “In less than a month since launching sales at the Rolex 24, we’ve taken reservation deposits for more than 50 percent of the available residences.”

Is myofascia the source of your pain?
Myofascia is one of the subsystems of the body's fascial network. The research into the effects of the fascial network on the form, function and painful dysfunctions of the body has had a major upsurge in the last decade with a vast amount of research data being published.
Myofascia may well be a significant cause of your current painful condition!
The myofascia is connected with the musculoskeletal system of the body and is therefore heavily involved in all movements of the body. In a pain free body the myofascia happily goes about transmitting force across our muscles and joints as we go about our daily lives. Unfortunately the influences of occupation, sports / pastimes, posture and natural ageing can bring about detrimental physiological changes to the myofascial network. The consistency of the myofascia changes, it may become thicker and less flexible and become more resistant to certain movements. As movements become less efficient the nervous system begins to register this change and eventually makes us aware something is wrong first with an ache and later with pain.
Fortunately there are now established treatment methods that can be used to successfully treat the changes to the myofascia and thus ease your pain. This will obviously not happen overnight and will probably take a course of treatments, but significant improvements can be gained after a few treatment sessions....after all how long has it taken to get into this painful condition!
Ally this to other changes to your life such as posture, strength, endurance and movement patterns and you may well find myofascial release therapy to be the panacea to your pain and discomfort.

Toenail fungus turns to be a chronic situation, and if it is not aching, many folks do not get remedy. On the other hand, to treat toenail fungus, individuals with unrelieved illness like diabetes must see a doctor if they develop into conscious of adjustments in their nails as it may possibly be an indication of extra significant challenges.

During the summer break I finally had the time to reflect on the impact of the “Me Too” movement on the aid sector. A lot has been said already and yet we still know very little about the actual scale of the problem and even less about how it affects local aid workers in developing countries. This is what I find peculiar about current discussions on sexual harassment and abuse. Most of them reflect an expat’s lens instead of local workers' views.
Last week the OECD, an inter-governmental organisation gathering the world’s richest countries, released its annual figures on how much aid, or overseas development assistance, went to developing countries in 2015. On the surface, there is reason to celebrate: once you take out inflation and exchange rate changes, the overall net amount of aid is the highest ever reported, totaling $131.6 billion after an already record-high couple of years. That’s quite an achievement, particularly for those European donors who last year had to face major unexpected challenges, such as the arrival of migrants and refugees at their doorstep.

The 77-acre (31 hectare) island is located in the northeast of Castle Harbor. Due to reclamation work, it is now joined physically to St. David's Island as a southeastern peninsula. For most purposes, it is still considered as though it were a separate island. Its most notable feature is the expanse of Annie's Bay, which stretches along much of the island's east coast.
The island has been used by many United States government agencies, having been the property of the US Army, US Air Force and US Navy from 1942, during World War II, to 1995. It also is home to a NASA space tracking station, recently renovated in 2018. Until 1995, access was restricted, but it is now open to the public.
Most of Cooper's Island is owned by the Bermudian government. It is preserved as the Cooper's Island Nature Reserve, which has been under active restoration since 2009. Swimming, walking, picnicking, bird watching and snorkelling are all permitted within the reserve.
Important Bird Area
With the adjacent Castle Islands Nature Reserve, Cooper's Island has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International, principally because of its importance as a breeding site for seabirds.

The Smooth Late Show with Simon Clarke 10pm - 1am
6 June 2023, 14:19 | Updated: 12 July 2023, 10:39
Titanic became the biggest film of all time when it was released back in 1997.
James Cameron's romantic drama epic was a huge smash box office hit around the world, grossing over $2.2 billion.
With Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' providing the musical backdrop, the film turned Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet into international superstars.
Over 25 years on, the film about the real-life tragic event in 1912 is still beloved by fans. But where are the main cast now?
We've sadly had to say goodbye to some its leading actors over the years. Gloria Stuart, who played the elderly version of Rose in the present day, passed away in 2010 at the age of 100.
Bill Paxton, who played treasure hunter Brock Lovett, died in 2017 aged just 61 after having a stroke following complications from heart surgery.
British acting legend David Warner also passed away in 2022 aged 80 after battling lung cancer.
Already a teen star by the time Titanic came around, this was his first true leading role that gained Leonardo international attention.
Aged 20 at the time when he landed the role of third-class passenger Jack Dawson, he had previously appeared in films like What's Eating Gilbert Grape?.
He proved that Titanic wasn't a one-off, as he has since become one of Hollywood's greatest ever stars. He has since appeared in many box office hits such as The Aviator, Inception, Shutter Island, Catch Me If You Can, and The Revenant, and reunited with Kate Winslet for 2008’s Revolutionary Road.
After having five Oscar nominations, Leonardo finally won his first Academy Award for best actor for his 2015 film The Revenant.
Kate Winslet was a British up-and-comer at the time of Titanic, having appeared in films such as Hamlet, Sense and Sensibility and Jude, but her as Rose DeWitt Bukater was her international breakout role.
Then aged 21, Kate beat the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Claire Danes for the role, and she earned an Academy Award nomination for it.
Kate has gone from strength to strength since then, and in 2009 she won an Academy Award for best actress for her performance in The Reader.
She also won an Emmy in 2021 for her role in Mare of Easttown, and she recently reunited with James Cameron for Avatar: The Way of the Water.
Billy Zane played the dashing yet rather evil villain Cal Hockley in Titanic, having previously had small roles in the Back to the Future films, and Dead Calm opposite Nicole Kidman.
Since Titanic, he appeared in The Believer alongside Ryan Gosling, and on Broadway in Chicago, where he played Billy Flynn.
He also had a recurring role on Charmed and voiced the main baddie in the video game Kingdom Hearts.
Before playing Rose's mother Ruth in Titanic, Frances had starred in the US daytime TV soap The Edge of Night, and her breakout role was in the Academy Award-winning film Unforgiven, opposite Clint Eastwood, her partner at the time. The couple also had one child together, Francesca.
After Titanic, she appeared in the 1999 film True Crime alongside Eastwood, and in the 2003 Oscar-nominated movie House of Sand and Fog.
On TV, Frances has appeared in Watchmen and The Sinner.
Aged 25 when filming Titanic, Irish actor Jason Barry is best known for playing Tommy, a third-class passenger who befriends Jack on board.
Jason later had a recurring role in the Irish crime series Love/Hate, and in 2014 he played Edgar Willcox in United Passions, a film detailing the history of FIFA.
In 2016, he performed voice-overs and motion capture work as Corporal Sean Brooks in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
He has two children and is married to actor Kristin Alayna.
Austrian-born Danny was raised in Italy before his family moved to America when he was a child.
He had already appeared in blockbusters like Alive, Eraser and The Rock before landing the role of Jack's best friend Fabrizio in Titanic.
In recent years, he has predominantly appeared on TV, including appearances in Growing Pains, Quantum Leap, Family Ties, The Twilight Zone, House, Without a Trace, Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, CSI: NY, Castle, The Fosters and Arrow.
Kathy Bates was arguably the biggest established star in the Titanic cast. By 1997, she was a regular on stage and screen and won a Golden Globe and Oscar for her role in 1990's Misery.
After playing the real-life character Molly Brown in the film, Kathy has continued to work non-stop on TV and film.
Kathy received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her roles in Primary Colors (1998), About Schmidt (2002), and Richard Jewell (2019).
Her TV work has seen 14 Emmy Award nominations, including two for her leading role on Harry's Law.

Since Titanic, he has appeared in the films Argo and Sicario, and he starred in Big Game alongside Samuel L Jackson.
On TV, he is best known for his role in Alias, for which he earned three Emmy nominations. He has also popped up on Glee, The Flash, Modern Family, Legends of Tomorrow, Schitt’s Creek, Power, Power Book II: Ghost, and The Orville.
Manchester-born actor Bernard Hill was best known in the UK before Titanic for playing Yosser Hughes, in Alan Bleasdale's Boys from the Blackstuff in the 1980s.
He also had roles in films like Ghandi and Shirley Valentine before landing the role of Captain Smith.
But his biggest role was still to come, as in 2002 he played King Theoden in the Lord of the Rings films.
His other parts have included True Crime with Clint Eastwood, The Scorpion King, Wimbledon, Unforgotten and Wolf Hall.

200 unlicensed Ggn schools given ultimatum
The education department of Haryana government has given a year long deadline to over 200 unlicensed private schools to get it registered.
Though warnings have been provided to these schools in the past, the fact that there are an estimated 20,000 students studying in these schools has resulted in the authorities providing the educational institution another leeway.
This is not for the first time but earlier too, most of these schools were given deadlines by the authorities yet they have not adhered to the legal norms as prescribed by the government.
Even though large numbers of complaints were received against these schools for long, most of the parents highlight that there is no strict action taken by the government against these educational institutions.
Issues like non submission of Form -6, not reserving seats for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) students under section134-A and charging exorbitant fee from the students are some of the major grievances against these schools.
In the past, there have been various notices given to the schools where warnings of sealing of the schools have also been stated categorically. However, lack of action has ensured the mushrooming of these schools in the recent years.
Lately, there has been huge furore over the exorbitant fee hike by the DPSG School at Palam Vihar which is again a non-licensed school.
Even though it was ordered by the Divisional Commissioner D Suresh to reduce the fee, the management did not do so and contested the order.
Hundreds of parents have protested in Gurugram as well as in Delhi in the last four month regarding the fee hike by the school management.
"It is not education which is happening in Gurugram but business where middle class parents are exploited.
"From the amount of Rs 30,000, parents are asked to pay in lakhs and there is no justification why there is no action that has been taken," said Raman Ahuja, one of the aggrieved parent.
In April, following the non reservation of EWS students under 134-A, the educational department had served notices to 277 schools in Gurugram district following there were certain rectifications.

Are you crying? Are you crying? ARE YOU CRYING? There's no crying!
Charmless compared to The Women, and overstuffed with the sort of musical numbers that were popular in the mid-sixties.
You also got the same sort of feeling that watching a bunch of 30 year olds play teenagers on the CW gives you. I couldn’t tell how old (or young) and one character was supposed to be.
But still, plenty of fun.
EDIT: I have been reading your reviews and am VERY CONCERNED by the amount of people calling this a “mixture of Goosebumps and Scream.” Fear Street is a series of books (some related, some stand-alone) that have been published since 1989. They are all written by R.L. Stine for teenagers and have heavy themes of sex, gore, and psychological terror. These are best sellers. Go to a used book store and get your act together.
I’ve been waiting for years…

In summary, the NYS said:
For almost ten years, SCB schemed with the Government of Iran and hid from regulators roughly 60,000 secret transactions, involving at least $250 billion, and reaping SCB hundreds of millions of dollars in fees. SCB’s actions left the U.S. financial system vulnerable to terrorists, weapons dealers, drug kingpins and corrupt regimes, and deprived law enforcement investigators of crucial information used to track all manner of criminal activity.
In its evident zeal to make hundreds of millions of dollars at almost any cost, SCB undertook a course of conduct that included:
• falsifying business records;
• offering false instruments for filing;
• failing to maintain accurate books and records of all transactions effected and all actions taken on behalf of SCB;
• obstructing governmental administration;
• failing to report misconduct to the Department in a timely manner;
•evading Federal sanctions; and
• numerous other violations of law that, as with the above, have an impact upon the safety and soundness of SCB’s New York branch and the Department’s confidence in SCB’s character, credibility and fitness as a financial institution licensed to conduct business under the laws of this State.
In 2006, the NYS said that Standard Chartered's New York branch was so concerned about its Iran dollar-clearing programme that in October of that year, "SCB’s CEO for the Americas sent a panicked message to the Group Executive Director in London".
“Firstly,” he wrote, “we believe [the Iranian business] needs urgent reviewing at the Group level to evaluate if its returns and strategic benefits are . . . still commensurate with the potential to cause very serious or even catastrophic reputational damage to the Group.” His plea to the home office continued: “[s]econdly, there is equally importantly potential of risk of subjecting management in US and London (e.g. you and I) and elsewhere to personal reputational damages and/or serious criminal liability.”
This was the response he received:
You f-----g Americans. Who are you to tell us, the rest of the world, that we’re not going to deal with Iranians.”
Under rules outlined by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), US banks were allowed to process transactions for Iranian banks and individuals, provided they were initiated offshore by a non-Iranian bank and only passed via the US financial system on the way to another non-Iranian bank.
This is known as a "U-Turn". It was left up to the banks to determine if a U-Turn complied with the law.
If a bank did not have sufficient information, the OFAC required that the assets were frozen until the origin of the transaction became clear. However, the NYS said:
By 2008 it was clear that this system of wire transfer checks had been abused, and that U.S. foreign policy and national security could be compromised by permitting U-Turns to continue. In November 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department revoked authorization for "U-Turn" transactions because it suspected Iran of using its banks – including the CBI/Markazi, Bank Saderat and Bank Melli – to finance its nuclear weapons and missile programs. The U.S. also suspected that Iran was using its banks to finance terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and engaging in deceptive conduct to hide its involvement in various other prohibited transactions, such as assisting OFAC-sanctioned weapons dealers.
For at least 9 years, from early in 2001 through 2010, SCB concealed from New York and U.S. regulators roughly sixty thousand U-Turns for Iranian Clients. These U.S. dollar transactions originated and terminated in European banks in the United Kingdom and the Middle East, and were cleared through SCB’s New York branch. They amounted to at least $250 billion in the aggregate, and generated hundreds of millions of dollars in fees for SCB.
The NYS also said that "its most senior management" were aware of such transactions:
SCB’s success in U.S. dollar clearing for Iranian Clients stems from the documented willingness of its most senior management to deceive regulators and violate U.S. law. Worse yet, SCB apparently adopted this strategy with full knowledge of the risks involved.
The NYS said that pressure came from Iran to process these U-Turns:
Indeed, Iranian Clients apparently pressured SCB by warning that disclosure of their identities to U.S. banks would cause unacceptable delays in clearing funds. SCB well understood that “given that these are large wholesale sums they are worried by any delay.”
SCB’s Iranian Clients were concerned “not only [with] what delays would be caused by [SCB’s New York branch], but also what delays could be caused by any other U.S. institution through which the payment was routed.” SCB’s Iranian Clients insisted that “no other banks processed their payments with full disclosure and it was not industry practice to do so.”
Standard Chartered therefore:
conspired with Iranian Clients to transmit misinformation to the New York branch by removing and otherwise misrepresenting wire transfer data that could identify Iranian parties. For example, regarding necessary wire transfer documentation, SCB instructed CBI/Markazi to “send in their MT 202’s with a [SCB London’s business identifier code] as this is what we required them to do in the initial set up of the account. Therefore, the payments going to NY do not appear to NY to have come from an Iranian Bank.”. SCB also accomplished this subterfuge by: (a) inserting special characters (such as “.”) in electronic message fields used to identify transacting parties; (b) inserting phrases such as “NO NAME GIVEN” or “NOT STATED” in lieu of requested information that would identify Iranian Clients; and (c) employing a system known as SCB’s “repair procedure,” whereby SCB overseas employees screened payment messages – before they were communicated to its New York branch – in order to ascertain if any messages contained information that identified Iranian Clients.

Meet Robyn, a 22 year old Spotify playlist curator from Bowling Green, Ohio.
“Insanely enough, this playlist is now 5 years old! I made it back in 2014, during my junior year of high school. I made this playlist because I was coming off of an extremely-long drawn out "Beatles-only" obsession I had since fourth grade. This was my venture into music that wasn't just "classic rock" or The Beatles.”
Describe your playlist. Perfect situation(s) for jamming it include:
"Driving fast and feeling like a badass and a punk somewhere in California with the sun going down, turning the sky purple and red, and watching the shadows of palm trees grow in the darkness."
What kind of music/artists did you grow up listening to?
"Lots of "classic rock," The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys. Also a lot of old school funk and psychedelia."
Any interesting artist(s) you've just started listening to recently?
"Surf Curse is really the only band of this century I listen to."
Tell us about you! Occupation, hobbies, interests, a quote, your site, etc. -- anything you want to add to introduce yourself at the top of your post!
"I just moved to Bowling Green, Ohio after having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area my entire life to pursue my master's degree in History. I am a published historian who is in love with everything mid-century modern. When I'm not pursuing academia (which is all of the time), I enjoy cooking, collecting cookbooks, and listening to music."


Sarah Lipson, a WorldTeach volunteer in the Marshall Islands, writes about some of the challenges her senior students face as they pursue their hopes for college.
After much negotiation and the support of faculty and staff at the College of the Marshall Islands, Majuro’s March 5th TOEFL registration was re-opened last week to accommodate five more Marshall Islands High School students eager to take the test. For almost all students who attend colleges and universities off-island, the financial support of the RMI Scholarship Board is essential. To be eligible for this scholarship, students must score a 500 on the paper-based TOEFL, a cut-off my seniors are perhaps all too aware of after a presentation by the Scholarship Board at College Club. This three-digit number is now associated with freedom, independence and innumerable intangibles of life and learning outside of the RMI. Yet when the Scholarship Board representative passed around a sign-up sheet with columns for student names, academic interests and desired college choice, many of the students I have been working with since September wrote simply “off-island” or “U.S.” in the third column. This lack of specificity has me worried…
It is perhaps acceptable in the early stages of a college search for American students to name a state or states where they are interested in future study, but to list an entire country or even worse, provide an answer that implies enthusiasm for anywhere but here, is alarming. As an aside, this is one of many reasons why access programs for first-generation college students begin in the 8th or 9th grade and further motivation for my college preparation curriculum to begin next fall at MIHS. To assuage my current concerns, I reasoned that all college decisions are made arbitrarily, to some extent. “I just had a feeling when I stepped onto this campus”, is an acceptable explanation for why someone spends four years of his or her life at a specific institution. Academic programs, geography, demographics, can only get one so far in limiting the vast options for higher education and for most, the decision is one of fit, an elusive determination often made while touring the campus quad or dormitory, asking is this the place for me? By and large, students from the Marshall Islands do not have the opportunity to tour college campuses, to calculate their future happiness with any real perspective.
I often compare the size of a large college to the population of Majuro, a statistic that alarms the students. When they say they want a small college, they typically assume that this adjective would encompass no more than 200 students. I have had to readjust their expectations while balancing my biases. As the group of roughly twenty college-hopeful MIHS seniors dive further into their college application processes, I am a bit lost as to appropriate advising methods. My suggestions are often taken as the word of some all-knowing deity (if only this were true): I found a community college in California that has a program I think you will be interested in. Before the webpage loads, the student is planning his or her future at said school. Now is anything but the time to slow down though I am having to caution several of these talented students to step back, a practice I am often too stubborn and distracted to follow myself.


Trent Cole was released by the Philadelphia Eagles this week and the aging defensive end/rush linebacker will be looking to prove he’s still got enough left in the tank even at age 32.
The defensive end registered 6.5 sacks in 15 games in 2014. That’s near his average of eight per season, having amassed 85.5 sacks over 10 years with the Eagles (only behind Reggie White in team history). That’s some pretty scary production that the Eagles are going to be doing without moving forward.
More from Black and Teal
- Jacksonville Jaguars keep QB room together, re-sign CJ Beathard
- Jaguars fortify OL with Jaelyn Duncan in CBS Sports’ 2023 NFL Mock Draft
- The Jacksonville Jaguars are the best team in Florida now
- Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence can become one of the best in the world
- Jacksonville Jaguars RT Jawaan Taylor projected to sign with Broncos in 2023 NFL free agency
At this point in his career, I doubt that Cole will be a three-down player for any team he plays with. He is more likely going to be a situation pass rusher for teams, especially those that need a little extra ‘oomph’ on passing down. In 2014
, for those who have played over 50% of snaps. That’s a dependable pass rush anytime he’s on the field.
The question here is whether he could transition to be a more standard 4-3 defensive end with the Jaguars or be a leader at the Leo pass rushing position with the team. The Jags took a chance on Jason Babin (also out of Philadelphia) for a season and a half and also got good production out of him (7.5 sacks in 2013). Taking a chance on another proven pass rusher with some experience wouldn’t be a bad move for the Jags, especially since they didn’t have a pass rusher capable of terrorizing defenses in 2014.
That could all change if they go with a terrific pass rushing prospect in the NFL draft, but bringing in some insurance can never hurt. At this point he wouldn’t be anywhere near a priority in my mind, but I do think that with his experience and track record, Trent Cole is certainly somebody to think about. Other teams, like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are already lining up visits, so don’t be shocked if Cole is gone before the Jacksonville Jaguars even think about reaching out.

Most analysts agree, Broward County Commissioner Jared Moskowitz is the odds on favorite to win U.S. House District 23.
Moskowitz is running for the seat being vacated by seven-term Congressman Ted Deutch. It’s a district that leans Democrat and includes coastal communities from Fort Lauderdale to Boca Raton – home to a large population of queer folks of all stripes.
So how will Moskowitz, a clean-cut, heterosexual, married father of two boys, respond to the needs of his LGBT constituents?
Florida Senator Shevrin Jones, the state’s first Black gay senator, used a basketball analogy to describe that allyship.
“Jared is more than just my closest friend, he’s an accomplice to the LGBTQ community,” said Jones. “Not only will he walk the walk for us, but I know he will get in the paint with us, that’s just who he is, a hands on leader.”
The recent brouhaha over Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law – aka “Don’t Say Gay” – is case in point.
“The policy that came out singled out only the gay community,” Moskowitz said. “I think most parents would agree that we don’t want any kind of sexual conversation with our little children in school. Any kind. That is reserved for parents. But to single out only part of that conversation and say this is the part we don’t want, that is where the divisiveness comes into this issue that didn’t need to exist.”
Moskowitz, 41, has steadily climbed the ladder of public service, starting as a commissioner in his hometown of Parkland and then serving as a state representative in Tallahassee. In the aftermath of the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Moskowitz led gun violence reform efforts, enacting historic legislation that raised the age limit for firearm purchases from 18 to 21 and put in place red flag laws.
“He’ll be a force to be reckoned with on the gun issue,” said Jason King, a lobbyist, who managed Dean Trantalis’ winning 2018 campaign for Fort Lauderdale mayor. “We have to bring civility back to politics and Jared is a guy who knows how to work across the aisle. He has the aptitude to deal with the gun issue and to work constructively with Republicans in Congress and we need more people in government like that.”
Moskowitz credits his late father for the ability to build coalitions. Michael Moskowitz, an influential Democratic party committeeman, died in January from pancreatic cancer.
“I grew up in a Democratic family and we only supported Democrats,” said Moskowitz. “At the same time, I remember my dad telling me, ‘You’re not going to just work with Democrats in life, Jared, you gotta work with people you disagree with and so long as you’re making progress and helping people in the community, you work with whoever you need to work with. You stay true to who you are, but don’t decide you are not going to work with 50% of the people because you don’t agree on 100% of the items.’”
And so with that philosophy in mind, Moskowitz went to work for Governor Ron DeSantis. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, DeSantis turned to Moskowitz to direct the state’s division of emergency management.
Dubbed the “Master of Disaster,” Moskowitz implemented pandemic programs, which included supplying masks and gowns to hospitals, setting up testing sites in tents and pharmacies and going into homes of the immunocompromised and Holocaust survivors to get vaccine shots into arms.
The rapid response, Moskowitz believes, avoided a prolonged shutdown that other states endured.
“Florida is experiencing a sort of renaissance,” Moskowitz said. “The demand to move to Florida is unprecedented and I think, quite frankly, that’s because of how we handled COVID. Compared to other states, people really liked what we did here.”
Fun Fact: Florida has 27 congressional districts. In the 117th U.S. Congress, the Florida delegation includes 16 Republicans, 10 Democrats and one vacant seat. Overall, there are 435 seats in Congress with each state’s representation determined by population. There are 221 Democrats, 212 Republicans and two vacant seats.

The Pinterest whistleblower leading the charge against NDAs
Ifeoma Ozoma was irritated when social media web page Pinterest expressed assist for the Black Lives Matter movement remaining 12 months as George Floyd’s murder sparked a US nationwide relying on race.
A month earlier she had surrender her job inside the agency’s public protection group having grown disillusioned, like many black People, on the disparity she observed between her employer’s public stance on civil rights and her experience there as a black girl.
Pinterest’s “nighttime ‘Black Staff Matter’ assertion” impressed her to interrupt her non-disclosure settlement, detailing “the racism, gaslighting and disrespect” she was subjected to by managers and the company’s licensed and HR leaders in a broadly cited Twitter thread.
Her decision to go public, alongside her colleague Aerica Shimizu Banks, was validated remaining week when the Silenced No Further Act co-authored by Ozoma was signed into California state regulation. The legal guidelines, which severely restricts the power of NDAs over workers who experience harassment or discrimination, is about to take impression in January.
It has prolonged been standard practice in Silicon Valley to make staffers sign contracts barring them from saying one thing unfavourable regarding the agency, even after they depart. The agreements gained notoriety amid the #MeToo movement when it emerged in the middle of the Harvey Weinstein scandal that NDAs have been getting used to keep up victims of sexual abuse silent.
NDAs have now flip right into a central focus of a wave of tech whistleblowers that moreover consists of former Theranos workers Tyler Shultz and Erika Cheung, one-time Google laptop scientist Timnit Gebru and Frances Haugen, the former Facebook data scientist who testified inside the Senate this month that the company knowingly hurts children with its merchandise. NDAs, they’re saying, use the specter of licensed movement to make it far more robust for staff to hold companies publicly accountable.
“I don’t suppose there’s any levelling the collaborating in topic with any of these companies, undoubtedly not for an individual versus a trillion-dollar agency,” Ozoma says. “Nevertheless there are strategies to empower your self and empower others and I really feel that providing assist and making certain that people are prepared for regardless of comes is among the many most significant strategies to do that.”
Ozoma, 29, grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, as a result of the daughter of Nigerian immigrants. She attended boarding college in Connecticut sooner than studying political science at Yale Faculty. “I knew I positively wished to work on protection,” she acknowledged. “I had been focused on how rights and authorized pointers and norms which have been established centuries previously then apply within the precise world now, and know-how is the place that they could be utilized now.”
She liaised with the federal authorities for Google and labored on worldwide relations at Fb sooner than being recruited to Pinterest’s just-formed public protection group in 2018. There she orchestrated its extraordinarily praised decision to stop promoting former slave plantations as wedding ceremony ceremony venues.
Nevertheless her time there deteriorated rapidly. A disgruntled colleague collaborated with a rightwing group to “dox” her, publishing her personal cellphone amount on the net with out her consent. She employed a lawyer to assist her by way of intense negotiations over her rank and wage.
Ozoma and Banks every lastly reached settlements with Pinterest, nevertheless their accusations sparked a catastrophe for the company. Former chief working officer Françoise Brougher filed a lawsuit alleging gender discrimination and wrongful termination remaining August, which was lastly settled for $22.5m. Days later workers staged a digital walkout. The company went on in order so as to add the first black female directors to its board and employed a head of inclusion and selection.
Nevertheless Ozoma’s life was turned the opposite approach up inside the weeks after she spoke out, alongside along with her days crammed by interviews to journalists and speaking engagements. “I thought of it sort of identical to the form of launches I had been part of sooner than, the place you set collectively for it, and also you then reply and it was nonstop for a while,” she acknowledged. Ozoma moreover relocated to Santa Fe.
“Speaking out comes with a menace and worth,” acknowledged activist and human rights technologist Sabrina Hersi Issa, who sees the bravery of Ozoma, Banks and Gebru following “the arc of many black ladies who lead out entrance and endure exhausting, painful pushback”.
Ozoma had not consider to make whistleblowing a central part of her career — and is quick to state that for a lot of whistleblowers it shouldn’t be. Nevertheless inside months she found herself drafting a handbook for various tech workers considering speaking out about their employers’ misconduct, with wise suggestion on the best way to hire a lawyer and protected your social media profiles in preparation. She moreover began drafting the Silenced No Further Act and fundraising for the lobbyist she lastly employed to shore up assist for it.
The bill comes amid mounting criticism of Large Tech over their grip on American life, following scandals over election interference and misinformation on the coronavirus and its vaccines. Ozoma shouldn’t be positive if paving one of the best ways for future whistleblowers will actually help create lasting accountability, nevertheless says she goes to proceed working in path of that goal.
Of us “point out that there’s some form of timeline for it, and practically like points will merely switch in path of the following stage ultimately, regardless of that stage is”, Ozoma says. “Of us, folks, ought to decide to actually do the work. We’d like additional people doing the exact work.”

Winslow was Professor of Public Health at the Yale School of Medicine from 1915 to 1945, and the first director of its J.B. Pierce Laboratory from 1932 to 1957. In the 1920s, he formulated the false dichotomy between "infectious" and "chronic" diseases, and proposed to abandon the traditional public health emphasis on communicable diseases and meddle in the public's lifestyles instead: "In the early years organic heart disease is largely a result of acute communicable diseases and focal infections, and in middle life of venereal disease; while in old age the factors of true senile degeneration play a major role. It is in the main, however, to personal hygeine and preventive medical care that we must look for the immediate control of this major factor in the death rate. Food, fresh air, exercise and rest, the clearance of the bowels and the avoidance of drugs and poisons - it is these elements in daily healthy living which must form our first direct line of defense against the onset of degenerative disease." (Public health at the crossroads. Am J Public Health 1926;16(11):1075-1085.)
C.E.A. Winslow was a director of the Health-Education
League of Boston circa 1908-1910. Fellow directors included Ellen
S. Richards, whose nephew, Junius,
was later a director of Phillip Morris' predecessor, Benson &
Hedges, and whose vice president, Dr. H. S. Pomeroy, was the author of
a 1906 anti-smoking screed.
Winslow was also an insufferable publicity-hound with crackpot theories, much like his successors such as John Banzhaf and Stanton Glantz. "Dr. C.E.A. Winslow, Professor of Public Health at Yale University, said he believed that posture was a neglected cause of tuberculosis and that a high percentage of clerks and telegraphers contracted the disease." William H. Welch and Harry L. Hopkins, then Director of the New York Tuberculosis Association and future constant advisor to President Roosevelt, also spoke at the meeting of the New York City Tuberculosis Association. (Tuberculosis Work Described by Coler. New York Times Nov. 21, 1924.)
Winslow became the Anna M.R. Lauder Professor of Public Health at
Yale College in 1915. In 1914, the Anna M.R. Lauder Chair of Public
Health was established
by the Lauder family of Pittsburgh and Greenwich, Conn., who donated
$400,000 upon Mrs. George Lauder's death. (Lauder Gift to Yale. New
York Times, June 20, 1914.) George Lauder Sr. was the first cousin of
Andrew Carnegie, who was closely associated with him for thirty years
as a director in the Carnegie Companies and a confidential advisor.
(Mrs. George Lauder Dies. New York Times Nov. 20, 1913.) George Lauder
Jr. graduated from Yale in 1900, and was a director of the Manhattan
Ear and Eye Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. He and
his sisters, Mrs. James C. Greenway and Elizabeth Lauder, gave a new
building to the Yale Medical School. He died of pneumonia at age 37.
(George Lauder Jr. New York Times, Jan. 5, 1915; George Lauder, Jr.,
Ph.B. 1900. Obituary Record of the Graduates, Yale University 1915-20,
p. 188.) James C. Greenway,
Skull & Bones 1900, was George Lauder Jr.'s classmate.
Mrs. George Lauder Jr. was the sister of Henry Cottrell Rowland MD,
Yale 1898. He "engaged in allied publicity and propaganda work in the
United States 1916-18;" and "was a special agent of the Intelligence
Department, U.S. Navy, in France, Feb.-May 1918, then continued
propaganda work in this country until end of the war." His Yale
relatives went back to great-great-grandfather Rev. David S. Rowland
1743, and he was a great-nephew of William S. Rowland, Skull &
Bones 1836, and a brother of John T. Rowland, Skull & Bones 1911.

Year 1932-1933, pp. 206-208.)
"A plan of organization for the Health Federation of the City of New York, as association of about 150 private organizations actively interested in the promotion of public health, was adopted at a meeting of representatives of many of those organizations in the Academy of Medicine yesterday afternoon. The plan included the establishment of an advisory body to be known as the Central Council of Public Health, which will hold conferences at the call of the federation.
"The membership of this council was limited to fifteen persons. The
members announced yesterday were Dr. John H. Huddleston, Chairman;
Bailey B. Burritt, Acting General Director of the Association for
Improving the Condition of the Poor; Dr. Charles Loomis Dana, Chairman
of the Public Health, Hospital, and Budget Committee of the New York
Academy of Medicine, and of the Public Health Committee of the City
Club; Homer Folks, Miss Pauline Goldmark of the Governing Board of the
Consumers' League, James Jenkins, Jr.; Dr. Edward L. Keyes, Jr.; Dr.
Philip Van Ingen, Medical Advisor of the New York Milk Committee; Miss
Lillian D. Wald, Chairman of the Committee on Public Health of the
Settlements; Prof. C.E.A. Winslow, and E.H. Lewinski-Corwin, Executive
Secretary." Dr. Lee K. Frankel,
Sixth Vice President of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and Dr. Haven Emerson of the NYAM
were also present. (Health Federation Work. New York Times, Feb. 5,
Frankel and Emerson were later members of the advisory committee of
the Yale Institute of Human Relations, chaired by William H. Welch,
S&B 1870. In 1926, Frankel called for the centralization of all the
voluntary health agencies in the country. Emerson was a member of the
Executive Committee and the Board of Directors of the American Society
for the Control of Cancer (predecessor of the American Cancer
in 1923 and 1936.
Winslow was a member of the American Red Cross Mission to Russia in 1917, which was headed by Frank Billings. "Poor Mr. Billings believed he was in charge of a scientific mission for the relief of Russia... He was in reality nothing but a mask -- the Red Cross complexion of the mission was nothing but a mask," admitted Cornelius Kelleher, assistant to William Boyce Thompson, head of the US Federal Reserve Bank, who funded the charade. The seven medical members of the mission quit and returned to the US. Other participants included lawyer Thomas Day Thacher, Skull & Bones 1904, member of the advisory committee of Yale's Institute of Human Relations (and son of Thomas Thacher S&B 1871); George W. Hill, President of the American Tobacco Company; James W. Andrews, then the auditor of Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co.; and Harry L. Hopkins, who was assistant to the general manager of the Red Cross in Washington, DC. (Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, by Antony C. Sutton. Chapter V - The American Red Cross Mission in Russia - 1917.)Ch. V - Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution / Reformed-Theology
C.-E.A. Winslow, Harry L. Hopkins, and Louis I. Dublin participated in the reorganization of the New York City Health Department (Dr. Harris Appoints New Bureau Heads. New York Times, Jan. 24, 1928).
"A plan for the union of the voluntary health associations into one compact body to wage a campaign against all diseases was made tonight by Dr. Lee K. Frankel of New York, Chairman of the National Health Council, at the first American Health Congress, which opened its six-day meeting here tonight... Thirty-five hundred delegates were registered at the convention this afternoon. Seven thousand were expected by Wednesday. Societies taking part are the American Child Health Association, the American Heart Association, the American Nurses' Association, the American Public Health Association, American Red Cross, American Social Hygiene Association, American Society for the Control of Cancer, Conference of the State and Provincial Health Authorities of North America, National Committee for Mental Hygiene, National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness, National League of Nursing Education, National Organization for Public Health Nursing, National Tuberculosis Association, United States Children's Bureau, United States Public Health Service and Women's Foundation for Health.
"Among the speakers scheduled are Secretary Herbert C. Hoover, Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming, Health Commissioners Louis I. Harris of New York City, Health Commissioner H.M. Bundesen of Chicago, Dr. George E. Vincent, President of the Rockefeller Foundation, and Dr. William F. Snow, General Director of the American Social Hygiene Association." (Asks Single Agency on Nation's Health. Dr. Frankel Proposes Merging All Organizations Fighting Disease. Would Include Red Cross. New York Times, May 18, 1926, p.9.)
"Just south of the Pennsylvania Station in New York, occupying the block between Thirtieth and Thirty-first Streets, stands an 18-story building, 370 Seventh Avenue, in which more public health organizations are represented than are to be found at any other spot in the world... Here are gathered the American Child Health Association, the American Heart Association, the American Public Health Association, the American Social Hygiene Association, National Committee for Mental Hygiene, National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, National Organization for Public Health Nursing, National Tuberculosis Association and the Woman's Foundation for Health." These were organized into the National Health Council, whose officers included William F. Snow, general director of the American Social Hygiene Commission, its President; James L. Fieser, chairman of domestic operations of the American Red Cross, its Vice President; C.E.A. Winslow, Recording Secretary; Linsly R. Williams, managing director of the New York Academy of Medicine; and Thomas C. Edwards, executive officer.
Other organizations, "closely allied but not members of the council," also occupied these premises. "On three floors of the building, in addition to the larger organizations named above, are to be found" the American Nurses' Association, Child Health Demonstration Committee, Circle for Negro Relief, the Women's Division of the National Amateur Athletic Federation, National Council of Women of the United States, National League of Nursing Education, National Probation Association, New York State Nurses' Association, and the Presidents' Committee of Fifty on College Hygiene. "For the benefit of these, as well as its own members, the National Health Council has established services such as public information, accounting, shipping, and mimeographing." It also maintained a health library of 30,266 books and pamphlets for the use of its members and interested professionals and students.
"Nor does the council stop here. Its aims - to simplify relations between health agencies where their interests meet or clash - made affiliation desireable with institutions other than those named, whose differing activities utterly prevented their occupying quarters in the same building in New York. Included as advisory members, therefore, the council has the American Red Cross, the United States Children's Bureau and the United States Public Health Service -- all institutions with official governmental status. Another group, known as associate members, includes the American Home Economics Association and the American Society for the Control of Cancer... There is some point at which most of these organizations touch one another, unknown, perhaps, to most of the vast army in the field throughout the nation but apparent at headquarters." (National Health Work Is Centred. New York Times, Feb. 3, 1929.)
C.E.A. Winslow received $5,000 and Simon Flexner of Johns Hopkins received $1,000 from the estate of Mrs. Frances R. Biggs, widow of former State Health Commissioner Hermann M. Biggs. The largest bequest, $100,000, was to the fund for maintenance of the Hermann Michael Biggs Professorship of Preventive Medicine at New York University. The New York Academy of Medicine got an oil painting of Dr. Biggs, valued at $25. (N.Y.U. Gets $100,000 By Mrs. Biggs's Will. New York Times, May 17, 1932.)
Winslow was on the Public Health Advisory Committee of the Committee on Economic Security, 1934, along with future Surgeon General Thomas Parran Jr. and Louis I. Dublin. Parran and IHR advisory committee member Harvey Cushing were on the Medical Advisory Committee, and William Green was on its advisory committee. Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emergency Relief Administrator, was a Committee member.Committee on Economic Security / Social Security Administration
"A committee has been formed to make known, especially among alumni
and close friends of the University, the work of Yale in medicine and
public health, as headed by Dr. Harvey
Cushing as general chairman and
with Dean Stanhope Bayne-Jones [S&B 1910, of the first Surgeon General report on smoking] as
chairman, and and Fuller F. Barnes of Bristol, Conn.; William McCormick Blair
[S&B 1907] of Chicago, George Parmly Day and Thomas W. Farnam of
Yale University, Dr. Norman E. Freeman of Philadelphia, Harry C. Knight
of New Haven, Dr. Fred T. Murphy
of Detroit, Professor C.E.A. Winslow
of Yale University and Dr. Milton
C. Winternitz of Yale University as
members." Their new facilities included the ultracentrifuge. (Yale Will
Expand Its Medical School. New York Times, May 14, 1939.)
Winslow died Jan. 9, 1957, at the age of 79. "Dr. Winslow founded
the Yale Department of Public Health in 1915 and served as department
chairman until his retirement. He had influenced international health
policies and advances through the World Health Organization and,
earlier, through the health section of the League of Nations. He was a
member of the American Red Cross mission to Russia in 1917 and general
medical director of the League of Red Cross Societies in Geneva,
Switzerland, in 1921." He was editor of the American Journal of Public
Health since 1944 [however, back in those days, most of its articles
dealt purely with American Public Health Association business, and it
wasn't until the 1960s that it began to deal with health issues -cast].
"Dr. Winslow was born in Boston on Feb. 4, 1877, the son of Erving and
Catherine Reignolds Winslow. His mother was a famous actress. He
received a B.S. degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
1898 and an M.S. from M.I.T. in 1910. He received an honorary degree of
Doctor of Public Health from New York University in 1918. He was on the
M.I.T. faculty from 1902 to 1910 and at City College of New York from
1910 to 1914 before going to Yale, where he held the rank of Anna M.R.
Lauder Professor of Public Health." He began Yale's program of
community public health surveys soon after joining the faculty. (Dr.
Winslow, 79, of Yale Is Dead. New York Times, Jan. 9, 1957.) His
father, Erving Winslow, served on the U.S. Sanitary Commission during
the Civil War, and was the head of the Anti-Imperialist Society.
(Erving Winslow (1839-1922) Papers. Massachusetts Historical Society.)
Lest anyone think that Winslow's direct influence is diminished today, in the inaugural issue of the Centers for Disease Control's online compendium of health fascist drivel, "Preventing Chronic Disease," Jan. 2004, its editor-in-chief offers an ode of praise to him and his vision of public health as social engineering. (Welcome to Preventing Chronic Disease, by Lynne S. Wilcox.)Wilcox, 2004 / Centers for Disease Control (pdf, 2pp)
The journal's editorial board includes ETS study author Ross Brownson; anti-smoking warhorses Jeffrey Harris, who lied to Congress that smoking is an economic burden; and former Wisconsin state epidemiologist Patrick Remington. Its featured articles are on the exploits of anti-smoking activists, who give lip service to "community" involvement while ignoring the evidence that the community doesn't want them.Editorial Board / Preventing Chronic Disease
The J.B. Pierce Laboratory was founded at Yale in 1924. John Barlett
Pierce, who died in 1917, founded the Pierce Steam Heating Co., which
merged with American Radiator Co. in 1892, and is now part of American
Standard. The Pierce Foundation provided the funding for the Bureau of
Research of ASHVE, a predecessor organization of ASHRAE (the American
Society of Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigerating Engineeers). The
associate director of Pierce from 1974 to 1989, Jan A.J. Stolwijk, was
a member of the Science Advisory Board of the EPA's
The executors and trustees of Pierce's will were Clarence M. Woolley
and Frank M. Peters of New York, and Rolland J. Hamilton of Chicago.
(John B. Pierce Left Million to Employees. The New York Times, Jul. 10,
1917.) Woolley was involved in the US business support of the Bolshevik
Revolution in 1918 (Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, by Antony
C. Sutton. Chapter IV, Guaranty Trust Goes to Russia). Charles A.
founding president and chairman of the board of General Electric until
1922, was also involved, as a member of the
American League to Aid and Cooperate with Russia; and as a director of
the American International Corporation, whose getaway after bilking US
taxpayers of billions of dollars was handled by Albert D. Lasker as
head of the Shipping Board. After Coffin died in 1926, Woolley
took his place as a director of GE.
In 1937, Charles A. Coffin's unmarried daughter, Alice S.
Coffin, and his son-in-law, Starling W. Childs,
established the Jane Coffin
Childs Memorial Fund for Medical Research
at Yale. Frederic Collin
Walcott, S&B 1891, was the first chairman of the Jane Coffin
Memorial Fund in 1937, and Stanhope
S&B 1910 and Dean of the Yale School of Medicine, was the first
chairman of its Board of Scientific Advisors. Bayne-Jones was the
overseer of the 1964 Surgeon General Report on smoking.
Hopkins was mainly involved in social welfare work; however, in 1922, he became general director of the New York Tuberculosis Association, which expanded and absorbed the New York Heart Association.Harry L. Hopkins (1890-1946) / National Park Service
C.-E.A. Winslow, Harry L. Hopkins, and Louis I. Dublin participated in the reorganization of the New York City Health Department (Dr. Harris Appoints New Bureau Heads. New York Times, Jan. 24, 1928).
As Federal Emergency Relief Administrator, Hopkins was a member of the Committee on Economic Security, 1934. IHR advisory committee member William Green was a member of its Advisory Committee; Harvey Cushing was on the Medical Advisory Committee, along with future Surgeon General Thomas Parran Jr. Parran, C.-E.A. Winslow, and Louis I. Dublin were on the Public Health Advisory Committee.Committee on Economic Security / Social Security Administration
Leona Baumgartner was the first woman to serve as Commissioner of Health of New York City. "As a college student, Dr. Baumgartner had not planned to enter public health. She went to Yale to study for a Ph.D. degree in bacteriology and immunology. Two great teachers, C.E.A. Winslow and Dr. Milton O. Winternitz, persuaded her that she belonged elsewhere than in the laboratory." She joined the Health Department in 1937. (Her Vigil: City's Health. New York Times, May 7, 1957.)
In 1946, Baumgartner was a sponsor of the New York Heart Association
fund raising campaign. Other sponsors included W. Averell Harriman;
Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, Sr.; Mrs. Albert D. Lasker; James S.
Adams; Harold L. Bache, the nephew of Jules S. Bache; Devereux C.
Josephs; Ralph T. Reed; Frank Stanton;
and Thomas J. Watson Sr.
Cullman and Emerson Foote were chairmen of
Commerce and Industry
committees. (Display Ad 46. New York Times, Jan. 31, 1946 p. 12.)
In 1958, Baumgartner was a member of New York City Mayor Wagner's new Health Research Council. Other members included James S. Adams of Lazard Freres & Co.;Devereux C. Josephs, chairman of the board of the New York Life Insurance Company and a director of the Morgan Guaranty Trust; Dr. Mervin J. Kelly, president of Bell Telephone Laboratories; Mrs. Mary Lasker, president of the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation; Dr. Robert K. Merton, Professor of Sociology at Columbia University; Gerard Piel, publisher of Scientific American; Anna M. Rosenberg, public and industrial relations consultant, Anna M. Rosenberg Associates (who married Paul G. Hoffman a few years later); Dr. Warren Weaver, vice president of the Rockefeller Foundation; and Bethuel M. Webster, counsel to the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. (New City Research Agency To Finance Health Studies. By Peter Kihss. New York Times, Sep. 17, 1958 p. 1; Members of Health Council. New York Times, Sep. 17, 1958 p. 22.) She was a member of Mayor Wagner's commission on hospital costs with Mrs. Albert D. Lasker in 1959. (City Orders Survey of Hospital Costs. By Edith Evans Asbury. New York Times, Feb. 13, 1959.)
Leona Baumgartner was a Founding Sponsor of John Banzhaf's group,
Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) in 1968. She
was the second wife of Dr. Alexander D. Langmuir,
the founder of the Centers for Disease Control (Alexander Langmuir Dies
at 83; Helped Start U.S. Disease Centers. By Lawrence K. Altman. New
York Times, Nov. 24, 1993.) He was the nephew of former Lazard Freres
partner Dean Langmuir. Dr. and
Mrs. Alexander D. Langmuir made a special contribution to
furnish the new offices of Action on Smoking and
Health in 1980. (ASH Newsletter, 1980 Nov-Dec., p. 18.)
Baumgartner was a member of the Physicians Committee for
for the Aged Through Social Security, which was created to lobby for
Medicare and disbanded after they succeeded. Other members of the
organization included Dr. Martin
Cherkasky, Dr. Michael DeBakey, and Philip R. Lee. Its chairman was Caldwell B.
Esselstyn, father of Caldwell B.
Esselstyn Jr., Skull & Bones 1956. (Memo from Harry R. Hinton
American Medical Association, to Earle Clements of the Tobacco
Institute, re Physicians Committee for Health Care for the Aged Through
Social Security- 1962, and their current positions; May 22, 1969.)
Medicare is the government program that made cardiologists rich. It was
the single largest cause of the steady increase in health care costs
which began in 1965.
In 1974, Baumgartner was on the Board of Directors of the American Association for World Health, Inc., the US Committee for the World Health Organization. Fellow directors include Mrs. Oswald Bates Lord (Mary Pillsbury Lord, whose husband was a member of Skull & Bones Class of 1926), the mother of Winston Lord, S&B 1959 and former chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and the mother-in-law of Bette Bao Lord; Walter G.
