Zoning laws create segregation, inequality and unsustainability. So why do we keep them?

Donald Trump is many things to many people, but there’s one distinction he almost certainly holds to himself. In 2020, he made zoning laws a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. Maybe there’s a candidate before him who also did so, but all immediate indications are that Trump was the first.
Of course, Trump didn’t use the term “zoning” with any great frequency in his campaign. He instead issued dire warnings about Democrats and his then-opponent Joe Biden who in Trump’s formulation planned to “destroy our suburbs.” In one “town hall” interview during the campaign, however, Trump got specific.
Democrats, he said, were scheming to “eliminate single-family zoning, bringing who knows into your suburbs, so your communities will be unsafe and your housing values will go down.”
Americans would be shocked to learn how heavily their country is zoned compared to similar countries around the world.
While rhetorical consistency has never been one of Trump’s hallmarks, his defense of single-family zoning stood out, because about one year before he made that statement, Trump signed an executive order creating a “White House Council on Eliminating Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing.”
One of those regulatory barriers was single-family zoning.
While Trump appeared unable to make up his mind whether he was for single-family zoning or against it, a new school of thought in urban planning emerged, a trend of which UCLA urban planner M. Nolan Gray is one of the foremost proponents. Under this evolving new paradigm, zoning is not necessary at all, and in fact does much more harm than good.
Americans Take Zoning for Granted
In establishing his White House Council, Trump was simply doing what presidents before and after him have tried to do. The Obama administration issued a report specifically citing zoning laws as causes of inequality and housing inequity, and the Biden administration in 2021 announced a program to work with state and local governments to “reduce exclusionary zoning.” By restricting construction to one home per lot, often with generous minimum lot sizes, single-family is a textbook example of “exclusionary zoning.”
But one possibility that no administration has seriously entertained is to eliminate zoning laws completely.
The Obama administration issued a report specifically citing zoning laws as causes of inequality and housing inequity.
Though zoning laws did not exist in the United States until 1908 and weren’t determined by the Supreme Court to be Constitutional until 1926, Americans today seem to simply take for granted that zoning laws are a fact of life. A 2021 poll by Scott Rasmussen found that only seven percent of Americans believe that there should be no zoning laws.
Why are Americans so committed to zoning?
Zoning: Only in America!
Do other countries impose zoning restrictions in almost every city or town, the way the United States does? According to University of Georgia Planning Professor Sonia Hirt, Americans would be shocked to learn how heavily their country is zoned compared to similar countries around the world.
“The zoning system that we have in the United States, as ‘normal’ as it may seem to those who grew up with it, may be particularly American,” Hirt wrote in her 2014 book Zoned in the USA: The Origins and Implications of American Land-Use Regulation. “It is different from the models used by other countries that are commonly compared to the United States—the countries of the so-called industrialized or western world.”
The British urban planning expert J. Barry Cullingworth, in his 1993 book The Political Culture of Planning, went even further, saying that the American system was “resistant to description, let alone explanation,” and that even calling it a “system” was a “misnomer.”
The European approach to land-use regulation, Hirt wrote in a 2010 paper “To Zone or Not to Zone? Comparing European and American Land-use Regulation,” focuses on “mixed use,” that is, commercial, residential, single-family, multi-family and other uses all allowed in a single district. Mixed-use policies are more conducive, Hirt wrote, to “diversity of people, built forms, human activities and land uses” which she called “the most important precondition of urban vitality.”
Zoning and Racial Revanchism
American zoning law on the other hand “is most commonly based on the assumption of exclusivity (i.e., each land-use district is suitable for only a single type of human activity, such as residential, business or industrial),” Hirt wrote.
In the U.S. most local governments left single-family zoning unchallenged. The cause was largely 'revanchism in the wake of civil rights legislation and white flight.'
“Today, the United States stands alone among high-wealth countries in its copious use of exclusive zoning for single-family detached homes,” University of North Carolina planning researchers Andrew H. Whittemore and William Curran-Groome stated in their 2021 paper “A Case of (Decreasing) American Exceptionalism: Single-Family Zoning in the United States, Australia, and Canada.”
The other two countries named in the paper’s title followed the U.S. practice for much of the 20th century, but opened up most single-family zoning to multiple uses in the 1970s, in response to environmental concerns.
But in the U.S., Hirt reported, most local governments left single-family zoning “unchallenged.” Why? According to the two UNC researchers, the cause was largely “revanchism in the wake of civil rights legislation and white flight.” In other words, the goal of zoning became to keep neighborhoods as white as possible.
The No-Zoning Paradigm Shift
In his book published in 2022, Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It, UCLA’s Gray attempts to spark a movement that could be called Zoning Abolitionism. Gray names four problems caused by zoning.
‘A Fairer, More Prosperous Nation’
By making cities unaffordable, zoning also forces people to move to the most energy-intensive regions of the country, which are mostly rural states in the South and Midwest. Housing in those states tends to be cheaper, but due to climate and other factors, energy use is higher.
Zoning, according to Gray, also limits the housing supply and drives up prices of existing housing, by limiting “infill development,” which is new development that goes up on otherwise unused vacant property, as well as refurbishing existing structures to make them suitable as housing.
“Zoning has real-world effects that are dire. Between mandating parking garages and banning apartments, it has made infill development prohibitively difficult in many American cities,” Gray wrote in his book. “And in suburbs across the country, it has made the starter homes we so desperately need—think townhouses and homes on small lots—effectively illegal to build. If Americans want a fairer, more prosperous nation, zoning has got to go.”

Cloud computing is often promoted as a way to help businesses do more with less while maximizing their resources, budgets, and growth. But how do businesses actually use cloud technology and what is involved once the decision is made to migrate to the cloud? In the article below, we will explain some of the benefits of cloud technology and why so many businesses are choosing to use it.
One of the top advantages that attract businesses to cloud technology is the flexibility. Being able to grow and change as your business develops is an incredible feature. Using cloud technology also delivers a reduction in costs, typically in the form of hardware savings and employee resources. Business owners also find that saving and storing files in the cloud is easy to use and the automation technology makes it even easier to keep file systems up to date and maintained.
How small businesses use the cloud can vary according to their unique needs but there are a number of common ways that many businesses use cloud technology.
Images, audio, and video files are commonly used by small businesses in their marketing efforts; however, the large size of these files can quickly fill up hard drive space and it can be costly to add more physical storage. Cloud storage, on the other hand, is frequently used by businesses to store large files, such as media so that local storage can be freed for files that employees need daily access to.
Backing up your data is essential to avoid losing everything should a disaster, cyber-attack or system failure occur. Cloud technology makes it simple to consistently back up your data, plus it typically creates copies of your data that are stored off-site and kept safe from theft, disaster or system failure.
Cloud technology makes information sharing practically effortless. Whether your business has remote teams or in-house associates, file sharing is incredibly quick and simple. Once your business’s data has been backed up, it can be shared with simply a link versus trying to upload and email large files.
Whether you have employees that occasionally work from home or in the field, cloud computing makes it easy to create completely functional mobile offices. Files and data can be synced and accessed when needed so that your employees can essentially take their office with them.
Small businesses rely on the scalability of cloud technology to create a plan for their business growth. With the cloud, business owners only have to pay for what they need and can increase or decrease usage as required. Using cloud technology eliminates the need to place a significant up-front investment in hardware and other resources. In fact, many businesses can reduce or completely eliminate their need for an on-site IT support team as their Managed Service Provider will typically offer 24/7 support.
When most businesses make their transition to cloud technology, they often find the biggest challenge isn’t the actual cloud adoption but instead, staff and processes that need to change in order to adapt. At MBC, we overcome this hurdle by providing a clear cloud migration roadmap, called CloudReach that enables businesses to properly plan, execute and optimize their cloud service so that they can achieve maximum results.
Now that you know how many businesses use cloud technology to their advantage, get a free assessment today to learn how you can adopt cloud technologies faster with MBC.

Redox processes governing the chemistry of volcanic gases
IPGP - Îlot Cuvier
Richard W. Henley
The Australian National University
High temperature fumaroles provide us a glimpse into the otherwise inaccessible interiors of active volcanoes. Their dominant components are H2O, CO2, SO2 and H2S and H2 together with smaller amounts of HCl and HF and nitrogen compounds. Above about 500 °C, homogenous gas reactions, such as SO2(g) + 3H2(g) = H2S(g) + 2H2O(g) , determine the equilibrium speciation of these components as gas mixtures expand from fumarolic vents but little is known about what processes determine the relative abundances of H2(g) and sulfur. For example, control of their redox state (rH= XH2/XH2O) has generally been attributed to subsurface reactions involving accessory minerals, such as magnetite, or estimated through proxy buffer reactions (e.g.Ni/NiO), but these reactions have little buffer capacity at the 100km3 scale of active volcanic systems. By contrast, it is now evident, through combining analytical data from high temperature fumarole with observations on now deeply eroded arc volcanoes (‘porphyry Cu-Mo-Au deposits’) that the abundant and widely distributed phase, anhydrite (CaSO4) controls both the redox state and the total concentration of sulfur of volcanic gas mixtures within volcanic systems. Anhydrite-forming gas-solid reactions have been shown by experiment to be both fast and reversible. This talk will explore the systematics of these chemisorption reactions, and show their overall importance in controlling the flux of sulfur through eruptive cycles, reactive mass transport of trace elements inside volcanoes, and the formation of the world’s largest mineral deposits of Cu-Mo and Au.

Studying History at Stratford Girls’ Grammar School will help students develop analytical and critical abilities while learning to make judgements based on information and research. Our team of teaching Historians, who are all experts in their field, are passionate about challenging girls to enhance their intellect and understanding of the world around them. We promote genuine interest and enthusiasm for historical learning and respect its intrinsic value and significance. Access to a range of stimulating historical articles, journals and books is part of this course as well as popular trips to Hampton Court Palace, Westminster Abbey, the RSC and Paris, France, when possible.
Sixth Form Curriculum
The History A-level course at SGGS fosters independence and encourages critical and reflective thinking, drawing comparisons and links across different periods of time. Students develop their ability to consider significant questions about the past and broaden their knowledge of identities within society such as social, cultural, religious and ethnic diversity. Our setting in Stratford-upon-Avon, Grade II listed architecture and links to significant historical figures such as William Shakespeare, makes SGGS a uniquely inspirational place for students to explore their interest in History.
All of our girls reach a high level of understanding regarding the nature of historical study and develop their use of historical terms and concepts. They will make judgements based on available evidence and learn to appreciate why historical judgements may be provisional. Organisation, communication, arguing a case and reaching a substantiated judgement are just some of the skills historians at SGGS can expect to acquire and refine.
In recent years, students have benefitted from visits to Westminster Abbey and both guided tours and workshops on Tudor history at Hampton Court Palace, which provides an insight into the importance of the role of the monarchy in Tudor government. Paris has also been a popular trip for students to embark on, inspiring them to discover more about how the French Revolution developed and changed society, not just in France but across Europe. The opportunity to see interpretations of historical events at the RSC, such as Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies, will also be taken when offered.
Apart from being interesting, fun and thrilling, History is incredibly useful and applicable to many careers including teaching, finance, the law, journalism and human resources. The History and Politics Department also run application sessions to prepare student for interviews at top universities. These sessions deepen understanding and support the communication of complex historical concepts. Graduate prospects for those who have studied History at SGGS are consistently very high.

Move over oatmeal, give another hot breakfast cereal a chance.
I first tried teff last year when I randomly added a bag of it onto a Bob’s Red Mill order I placed. In an effort to expand my “whole grains and legumes” repertoire, I began experimenting. You might be familiar with teff if you have eaten Ethiopian food. The bread, injera, is made with teff flour. This cereal is made with the full grain, though the particles are so small, it looks like it is ground.
A recipe for this breakfast cereal is on the back of the Bob’s Red Mill package so it seemed like an obvious place to get started with whole grain teff. I have an affinity for clove scent and I love hot breakfast cereal so I expected to enjoy the porridge. The first time I ate it, I not only loved the flavor, I had a huge boost of energy afterwards. The following days after eating the porridge, I experienced a similar boost leading me to believe it was no coincidence but something in this magical grain that gave turbo energy.
One of my friends suggested that Ethiopian runners (known to be some of the best long distance runners in the world) may get their energy from teff in their diet. I also heard from someone that it is high in iron and I often have a deficiency. Whatever the reason, I am convinced that this cereal keeps my engine running strong.
I must admit that I am the only one in my family that liked this porridge. My husband has an issue with the texture and the kids…. well, they are kids.
I recently read this post on the Harvard Common Press blog, Blog EATS and got a chuckle over Dan’s rant about trendy ingredients including kale and quinoa. Well, if you want to steer your ship into less chartered waters, teff is something new for you to explore. Go ahead, do it now and when everyone else discovers its magical powers, you and I can roll our eyes and tell them we’ve been eating teff for years.
Teff Porridge with Raisins, Walnuts & Clove
Adapted from Bob’s Red Mill
Makes 6 servings
1 cup whole grain teff (not teff flour)
3 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
toasted walnuts (or pecans)
heavy cream or milk for serving (optional)
Toast the teff grains in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the grains emit a toasty aroma, about 3-4 minutes.
Slowly add the boiling water, butter and cloves. Stir well. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any lumps from forming. Stir in salt and honey. Cover and continue cooking until the grains are tender and the porridge is at your desired consistency. Add more water, if necessary to thin out the mixture.
When the porridge is completely cooked, remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Ladle into individual serving bowls and sprinkle with walnuts, raisins and an extra drizzle of honey. Top with cream, if desired.

Accusations of bribes from drug traffickers, spying and email hacking have turned Colombia's presidential election into an ugly slugfest that has further polarized a country trying to emerge from its violent past.Much of the blame for the dirty campaigning falls on two former allies whose public feuding has divided Colombia the past four years: President Juan Manuel Santos and his still-powerful predecessor, Alvaro Uribe.Two days later, authorities arrested a computer expert who worked for Zuluaga's campaign, accusing him of hacking into the emails of FARC negotiators and even Santos.Uribe, without presenting any evidence, then accused Rendon of funneling $2 million from the alleged drug-dealer payments to Santos' 2010 campaign.Zuluaga is widely viewed as Uribe's subordinate.Congress is divided and Uribe, who was recently elected to the Senate, has promised to rally opposition against Santos should he win re-election.

Book Review: The Black Tiger by Srijan Pal Singh
Genre: Non-Fiction / India / Economies
Publishers: FingerPrint Publishing
Price: Rs. 250/- ( I got the book for review from the publisher)
Behind the Book
The Black Tiger is a product of a lucid research into the complicated world of black money—its mechanisms, its movement, and its soft spots.
A meditative and well-referenced critique of corruption and its corruptible practices, the book is a study of various countries across time and geography that have fought corruption in their own systems. From the ICAC of Hong Kong to the Clean Governance of Georgia and from the fight against Foreign Parked Black Money by a US court to the truly consequential None of the Above vote of Colombia, Srijan Pal Singh, trusted advisor and a close associate of Dr. Kalam, analyses case after case, putting forth cogent arguments on the many dimensions of corruption and how it can be systematically weeded out from India.
At once fascinating, absorbing, and informative, The Black Tiger is a must-read for those who wish to know how India can become a superpower in the next few years, as envisioned by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
About the Author
Srijan Pal Singh is a gold medallist MBA holder from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, and has worked with the Boston Consulting Group. He is a social entrepreneur who has been involved in studying and evolving sustainable development systems with a thrust on rural areas.
From 2009 to 2015, he also worked as an advisor and an officer on special duty to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam on promoting the concept of energy independence and Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas (PURA), and co-authored with him three books, Target 3 Billion (2011), Reignited (2015), and Advantage India (2015). He has been named as one of the Global Leaders of Tomorrow by the St. Gallen Leadership Symposium in Switzerland in 2014. He has also co-authored Smart and Human (2015) with GRK Reddy.
The Book Elf thinks
Every time the discussion reaches India and its current scenario the usual habit is to crib about all that is happening around. We are unhappy with a lot of things, but the question is and will always be "What are we willing to do to solve these issues?"
This book comes as a gentle reminder, a nudge and a point-to-ponder for the readers on a lot of issues we are grappling with as a country. I have always held the author in high regards for having worked so closely with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. And with this book, he just ensured the respect increases manifolds.
Talking about various issues ranging from demonetization to corruption within our system, the book highlights various issues in our country. Poverty, unemployment and illiteracy seem like a thing of the passe when you read about what ails the system in today's times. Written in a text book fashion, complete with graphs, tables, charts, diagrams, definitions and quotes this is one book that every Indian needs to read irrespective of their age. On the contrary I would recommend this be made a part of our curriculum as we need to know what's happening in our country at the grass root level. To start with every school library can atleast make reading this book mandatory for every student for that is where the real change can happen. To become a superpower we need to overcome these hiccups and stride ahead towards our goal. This book is an answer to the how that comes to our mind every time someone says India has the capacity to be the next superpower.
Not to forget the last chapter where the author has neatly segregated each one of us into one category we can relate to and then provided actionables. I like books where not only the problems are discussed but even solutions are offered. That shows how much research, analysis and understanding has gone behind the core issues. Because without understanding you can never come out with solutions.
Lucid language and an easy to understand tone, makes reading this book a pleasure. He talks about lot of terminology which might be alien to a common man, but at the same time he ensures we understand what it means by explaining it in the simplest of terms before bringing up the issue.
Overall I like the way the book has been presented and would recommend it to every Indian.
This book is like Dahi Papdi Chaat - Crispy, Tangy, Sweet and Spicy , perfect tongue tantalizer!

for a few days i’ll think i’m doing just great, that i’ve got this thing sort of figured out, that i’m feeling more like myself. and then the next day i’m feeling sorry for myself, isolated, and frustrated. the ebb and flow of this new motherhood journey has strong strong tides and it seems i’m along for the ride, never knowing when i’ll come up for air, or when i’ll go back under.
i know i need to get out of myself, to get out into the world more, to reach out to my friends more. but i’m caught in the between spaces of being too exhausted, too emotionally tired, too needy to take action on anything. yet then i have days where i’m energetic and chatty and social. again, i’m along for the ride, recognizing that all i can do is be gentle with myself. i remind myself that this is the biggest, most difficult transition of my entire life, the most significant i’ll ever have. i know it all takes time. i find comfort in the stories of my friends who tell me this is all a part of it, that our hearts and our lives undergo major reconstruction with our first births, that it will take awhile to rebuild a life and a self that feels familiar. i trust their wisdom and i wait. i wait.
i will say that through it all i’m fiercely blissed out with True. when he’s up, i want to be around him. when he’s asleep, i can’t wait for him to wake up. when john offers to be primary caregiver for a few hours, i struggle (hard) with taking him up on the offer. i’m having a hard time imagining someone else (childcare/nanny) soothing him, putting him down for his naps and so on. i know this piece in inevitable + my heart sinks because of it. before he was born, i was told that we might not bond immediately, that it may take awhile to feel attached, and so i prepared myself for that possibility. but it never happened – i was attached the second i met him. he is a total angel.
i was cruising the internet wires the other day and stumbled upon a woman’s blissed out birthing experience. it sent me, all over again, to my knees. i’m not sure i will ever share my full birth experience here but i will share these pieces:
i labored at home starting at 8:30pm until i arrived at the hospital the next morning at 3am, 7cm dilated. my midwife (who i felt very very connected to) was on her way to the hospital to deliver baby true when she got into a car accident (she’s okay). her replacement was sent to deliver our baby. later i would consider how odd it felt to be a victim, a consequence of fate – i would wonder if my birth story would have unfolded more beautifully had i had her and not her replacement deliver our baby. after arriving at the hospital, i labored (unmediated) for another nine hours. and then another seven hours (medicated) before baby true was finally born via c-section at 7:30pm. the last minutes of those 23 hours are what i’m choosing to focus on – when i see True for the first time, when i see john as an ecstatic papa jumping all over the operating room with glee, when my heart nearly explodes, when i know that i had just surrendered to something so worthy of surrendering to. the c-section was a welcomed acceptance for me but the previous 16 hours at the hospital (not the 7 hours of labor at home) held moments of physical, emotional, dissociative trauma that left me suffering from symptoms of ptsd for weeks and weeks. i am working my way through it and it’s a battle that i suspect will come and go. i have good support, good resources, and a baby boy whose very presence makes me want to gather up all the morsels of this story and reframe it into nothing less than love held deep and wide.
before birthing True, i never really considered how deeply meaningful our birth stories are. i think i thought that babies were born and that’s that and what a beautiful thing. even in all my birth preparations, i wasn’t fully connected to how my baby’s birth would forever leave an imprint onto my life. i just figured that as long as he was born okay, then that was the only thing that mattered – that even if the birth was horrible, that it would still be just fine if we were all healthy in the end. i suppose the universe had to convince me just how wrong i was by giving me a situation that would break me open to just how important and impactful our birth stories are. in fact, never have i been so affected by an event in my life. ever. and like most of us, i’ve had my fair share of sad stories that have had their strong, life altering impact.
there are the gremlins that are constantly shouting: you should just be grateful. you’re healthy, he’s healthy, and in the end what else matters? but i’m reminded of my own truth: to embrace my vulnerabilities and every single piece of this story, otherwise, i’m just pretending that i’m unaffected. and i am definitely not unaffected. i really believe in telling our stories, that they all matter, that we are connected inside the woven intricacies of our collected threads. never have i felt this truth so fully before. and so i honor the truth of this particular story, even with the gremlins telling me i should just be quiet and be grateful.
as i continued to sort through the birth experience, i kept wondering what to do with all the broken pieces. usually, when faced up against a struggle, i can find a sort of thread, a sort of woven link that helps me connect the broken pieces together with some clarity- whatever that thread is, it becomes my anchor to pulling myself through the experience – the oh, this is what this is about, this is what i’m supposed to learn, this is why this is coming up for me. but in this instance, i couldn’t find the thread. i tried very very hard, but i could not figure out what this was about for me, why i was so broken over his birth, why i continued to suffer, why i felt so much guilt. i wondered what purpose my physical/emotional birth trauma served, why it lingered via ptsd symptoms, and i became very angry as i faced heart-wrenching decisions as a direct result of my emotional recovery and ptsd fall out. for those first many many weeks, as you can imagine, i was feeling totally unmoored without any anchor to make sense of it all. i had zero clarity.
and so i just did the best i could. i loved true with all my heart. i talked to him all the time, i told him we’d get through it together, i soothed him, i soothed myself. i asked for a lot of support. i stepped away. i got weekly massages. i found strength in following my new mama instincts. i took a ton of bubble baths. i cried a lot. i leaned on my family and on john more than ever before. i watched reality television. i read pieces of books. i put on dresses. i wrote snippets here and there. i had hopeful days, sometimes several in a row. i celebrated true’s sleeping and pooping and smiling. i took a ton of videos and photos. i processed with friends. i sent SOS emails and voicemails. i visited with my midwife. i told the full birth story over and over. i cried more than i ever thought possible. i waited. i waited and i waited.
and then one day i had an aha moment. a big one. and just like that, all of my brokenness around my birth story began to make sense. never before have i been so ready for an aha moment. it was a gift, a huge healer for me during a most profound time of pain and love (how oddly they coexist).
the aha moment goes something like this: for most of my adult life, i’ve stood very tall. i’m fearless when it comes to many things even if i know struggle and stress are a part of the equation. why? because i trust my strength, know that my vulnerabilities make me stronger, and i’m always up for an adventure that will broaden my life’s experiences. i’m an expert problem solver and task master, super resourceful, and i’m can turn most negative experiences into something valuable while also still honoring my own tenderness. i really do see light and possibility and love everywhere, even in the murkiest and most desperate of circumstances. but most importantly, through all life’s stress, sadness, chaos and activity, i’ve been very very skilled at Holding It All Together. like so many of us do, it’s a skill i perfected throughout my life when everything else was falling apart around me. i’m just figuring out now (thank you, aha moment) that it’s been a skill i’ve held onto even when nothing was falling apart around me, even when there was no reason to protect myself anymore, even when it no longer served me and held me back emotionally. i suppose it just became a habit. and before i knew it, my inner perfectionista came out and led the whole Holding It All Together campaign for many many years.
my aha moment gave me this clarity: because i was so busy Holding It All Together prior to his birth, i was a hard nut to crack. although i was sensitive, compassionate, aware, hopeful, vulnerable, i was measured in those emotions and extremely productive, never really and totally allowing myself to crack open, to give in, to let go, to rest. it was going to take something huge, something stronger than me and my willpower, something devastating to break me. and so it was. enter physical/emotional birth trauma, and i broke.
the heartbreaking lesson that i’ve learned these last many weeks is that sometimes we have to break (or surrender) to the things we most resist in order to receive what our hearts most need. for me, i most resisted letting go of Holding It All Together. but when i surrendered it, i received a huge wash of love and healing that my life most needed, that my heart was waiting for. the trauma of my birth experience and the fallout over the many weeks following that experience couldn’t be stitched together with my usual coping tools. i could no longer hold it together or navigate my way to prettier, more evolved and profound waters. most importantly, i couldn’t intellualize or analyze my way out of it. i had to feel my way out of it. this experience forced me to give up in a way i’ve never had to do, to surrender, to let it all go, and simply fall apart – something i’ve resisted my whole life. and so i was lost. and so i was broken. and it was the hardest, most heartbreaking experience of my life, all while trying to be a new mama, while nurturing the most precious little love in my totally new life, while resting side by side with new love.
it turns out that breaking open meant a rushing in of all sorts of un-measured, un held back emotions: love, terror, old wounds, old pains, new pain, tenderness between two hearts, moments i’ve waited years to experience, love waiting for me to finally say yes. my aha moment was realizing that my heart knew this was the only way, the only experience that would open me up. it knew that if i had had a relatively routine birth that i’d still be Holding It All Together and measured in my love for True, that i’d still be a little bit aloof, a little bit closed. it knew that this was the only circumstance, however traumatic and painful, that would get me, that would bring to my knees, that would force me to surrender. with the surrendering came love like never before, healing, and rebirth, and a whole new way of operating and seeing and doing and being. none of these things would be possible without the surrendering. and the surrendering would not be possible without that exact birth experience. call it magic, god, love, spirit. whatever it is, it knows what’s it’s doing and it’s teachings are profound and lasting.
what i’m learning is the most beautiful thing of all: all of that brokenness and surrender leads to repair – not just healing the birth trauma wounds but all the cracks and wounds that have anything and everything to do with how i see myself as a mother, as a child, as a baby who once needed love, as a daughter, as a wife, as a friend. all the love and all the healing that have come rushing in the cracks of my brokeness are huge, beyond measure, and have widened my heart and taken up permanent residence. i feel new. and raw. but seen and deeply, profoundly loved.
the reason i’m sharing this story is because we all have something that we’re resisting. maybe it’s true love, or self acceptance, or real healing, or real grief that we’ve avoided for years and years. we all have traumatic experiences that we work hard to make sense of. i’m learning that perhaps those experiences are the absolute only and exact experiences that have the capacity to open our hearts when what we most want to do is close them. perhaps those experiences, however confusing and hurtful hold wisdom inside their broken pieces. perhaps they are the only experiences that could ever really show us our real selves and provide real healing and real connection to the people in our lives who love us. perhaps we wouldn’t be blessed with all that we have and know and see without them happening exactly as they did. there are so many layers….so many.
i’m still working (feeling) my way through all of this. twelve weeks later, i’m still a newbie in this new cracked open world, but i can still feel all the light rushing in, and hopefully always. i wish the same for you. i really, really do.

Cedar Heights fire victims ask for help to rebuild
Donavan Clifford with sister Cresha Clifford
The family who lost their home in Cedar Heights, Vieux-Fort to a fire one week ago are calling out for assistance.
The three-bedroom wall building which Donavan Clifford and four other family members had occupied was destroyed by fire in the wee hours of Sunday, September 13, 2020.
The family was only able to save a fridge, a stove, and the clothes they were wearing at the time of the blaze.
The aftermath of the fire
Since then the family has made an appeal for assistance from the public, but according to Clifford, what they received so far has been less than what was expected.
“I am not satisfied with the assistance I have received so far but I am still thankful for the little I have received from friends and neighbors,” Clifford told Loop News.
He added: “Sometimes the help we get lasts just for a day or five minutes.”
According to him, the help they have received so far came mainly in the form of clothing.
“Right now, I have clothes,” Clifford said.
He said all forms of help will be accepted but would prefer it to be in the form of building materials or if it’s financial, enough to enable him to purchase building materials.
Clifford said the parliamentary representative for Vieux-Fort South, Dr Kenny Anthony has contacted them and has promised to assist.
However, according to him, despite his harrowing experience, he is confident that their situation will soon be improved.
“I am a positive thinker. I don’t think about negativity,” he said, adding that the family is strong.
Persons willing to assist should call 7240031 or 7167228.

So you want to hire a good lawyer right? Often times, people believe that the better a lawyer is, the more he or she is going to cost. While sometimes true, you can find a lawyer on a budget. The article below has tips that can help you find an affordable attorney.
You must hire an attorney right away in the event you are charged with a serious crime. Be sure not to take matters into your own hands because it can create a situation that raises the possibility of you breaking the law. Lawyers are specially trained for cases like yours, so do not hesitate to trust them.
If you spend a high amount initially, you may make it back in the money you win in your case. A lawyer with advanced knowledge of the subject matter will not need to devote as many hours to information regarding your case. As a result, you end up paying less by the hour.
Rule number one of hiring a lawyer: Ambulance chasers are bad news. This is common practice among scammers and unscrupulous legal types; it is often seen when there is a large cash settlement up for grabs. Do your due diligence and hire the best lawyer on your terms.
Although the high cost of hiring a specialty lawyer can be daunting, it is well worth it. The average lawyer will need to spend much more time researching the law pertaining to your case than one who is already familiar with that are of the law, resulting in less hourly fees.
You may not know that you are entitled to have everything you’ve shared with a lawyer to be kept confidential. This means that any business records, or sensitive information given to your lawyer, cannot be shared with any other third party.
Don’t accept the very first lawyer in the phone book. You have to check out many lawyers to know what is available. You may even find that you’ve hired a lawyer without a valid license or one who has been sued for malpractice. Be careful.
When looking through the Yellow Pages, you should never go with the first lawyer you see. It’s very important that you do some research on the matter first. When I used a lawyer without doing my research, the situation turned out badly. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
Listen to your lawyer’s advice and remember they work for you. If you do not feel comfortable with something they tell you, it is okay to speak up. You may be one of their many cases, however they do try to honor your best interests.
You can find a great lawyer on a small budget. Use the information provided here to locate a solid, reputable attorney that you can afford. You will be able to laugh all the way to the bank with the money you’ll save.
When meeting with your lawyer, ask every question you may have. Your lawyer should explain everything they do and keep you up-to-date on a regular basis. If your attorney is being tight-lipped, it might be necessary to fire him and find someone else.

A few decades ago, French philosophers said everything was fiction, and we all scoffed. Now, the Internet seems to have proved them right.
Social media exploded on Tuesday when it turned out that a Twitter account called @horse_ebooks – which seemed to be an artificial program that spit out wonderfully arcane, random bits of text in recent years – was in fact fake, and part of an ongoing performance art piece. Only adding to the absurdity is that the news came via a blog post from novelist Susan Orlean on the New Yorker website.
People are incensed and shocked, partly because of a feeling of betrayal, but partly because @horse_ebooks appeared to be a bit of Internet wonder that now seems to lay in ruin. But while I think the anger is understandable, to my mind, the reveal is also reason to celebrate, and leaves the pleasure of the thing intact.
After gaining popularity – the account has around two hundred thousand followers – the account would spread fragments with an alarming regularity that, though they often didn't mean anything themselves, seemed strangely poignant. There was something profoundly "of the times" about the way a random snippet here or there could arrive at the right moment, pulling some piece of human culture out of the ether and delivering a moment of serendipity to unsuspecting Twitterers.
In the clarity of hindsight, it does all seem strange: How it became so popular, how the fragments seemed so mysteriously perfect, how it all just seemed to fit. Making matters worse now is that the artists in question – Jacob Bakkila and Thomas Bender – work at Buzzfeed and startup Howcast respectively, the latter being a site that has exploded in popularity largely on the back of viral content. It's fishy.
It's just one more example of how what appears to be real is in fact not. Jimmy Kimmel faked a much circulated video many thought was authentic. Going back years, internet phenom lonelygirl15 was not simply another YouTube account, but a show made by a professional team. Because the web often hides context or origin, figuring out what's true or not is becoming increasingly difficult – especially when people game the system.
I'm wondering, though, if that same randomness of @horse_ebooks doesn't save this bit of modern web culture. In the statement at the gallery where the next phase of the project is now beginning, the artists say they took the pieces of text from already published work. Rather than a bot, it was people curating those fragments – but they remain fragments nonetheless.
Isn't that still something of wonder? That two artists, using the sparest of sentences, were able to so carefully point to the explosion and accidental nature of meaning in a world crisscrossed by opinions and viewpoints? It seems that in highlighting the fact that we can find meaning in the most banal of things, @horse_ebooks emphasized the human over the algorithm, the poetic over the computational, and the carefully chosen over the arbitrary. Maybe there's something eminently human in that, and something that, for all its many benefits, something that cannot come from software.
Here's the thing: Art is fake. That doesn't make it any less meaningful. In fact, what @horse_ebooks in both its original guise and its new revealed one proved was that, sometimes, origins are less important than the finished product, effects more significant than causes. The web can be a chaotic place that upends the things we've come to accept. Sometimes that's terrible, sometimes it's beautiful. This, I think, seems to one of the times that beauty has won out.

Slovenia’s supreme court has rejected an appeal over a decision from the country’s competition watchdog to block the sale of a stake in grocery retailer Mercator to local rival Agrokor.
Shareholder Piovarna Lasko confirmed yesterday (5 May) that the competition protection office blocked the sale of its 23.24% stake in Mercator on 26 April and that the supreme court rejected its appeal on 29 April.
The Slovenian brewer said that the sale of its stake in Mercator is a “key part” of its financial restructuring. Lasko said that if it is unable to offload the shares it will be unable to pay a series of debts that are due in June.
In a filing with the Ljubljana stock exchange, Lasko said that its administrators have been authorised to negotiate with its lenders to renegotiate its credit arrangements.

Trojan baseball: Smith named CVAC pitcher of the week
By MOC Sports Information
Published in Sports on March 14, 2007 2:33 PM
Judson Smith, who tossed eight shutout innings in nationally 26th-ranked Mount Olive's win over Coker, has been named Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week, it was announced Tuesday. The award is the third this season for the Trojans' pitching staff as Smith joins two-time honoree Tom Layne.
Smith, a senior from Edenton (Holmes HS/Central Missouri State), retired 11 of the first 12 batters he faced and took a no-hitter into the fourth inning in the Trojans' CVAC series-opening 8-0 victory at Coker Saturday. He allowed only four hits in the win, all singles. Smith struck out four and walked none as only two runners advanced past second base. The win improved Smith to 4-1 on the season and lowered his earned run average to 2.25.
Mount Olive (19-8 overall, 7-2 CVAC) won its third consecutive conference series, taking two-of-three on the road at Coker. The Trojans also split a two-game series last week against No. 24 Francis Marion.

Though the separation of church and state has been upheld time and time again in the Supreme Court, there are places who take it as a mere suggestion. Some students at Louisiana public schools are using the Bible, specifically the Book of Genesis, to learn creationism. And they may never learn about evolution. At all. According to Slate, the Louisiana Science Education Act, passed in 2008, allows science teachers in the state to supplement the curriculum with books and materials that "critique" evolution. Despite being allowed in Louisiana, these lessons are actually illegal under federal law. "We know that one in eight high school biology teachers advocate for creationism, even though it's unconstitutional," Josh Rosenau of the National Center for Science Education told the site. The Louisiana Senate Education Committee has voted several times on the matter since 2010. The most recent vote, however, saw legislators in favor (four to three) of keeping this creationism mindset in classrooms. "My job is to present both [evolution and creationism]" because "God made science," fifth-grade magnet school teacher Charlotte Hinson wrote in a column for the Shreveport Times.
And she's not the only teacher to echo this sentiment. Nonetheless, until someone decides to bring the matter before the Supreme Court, it looks like Bibles will still be considered textbooks in Louisiana.

Roger Creager grew up outside of Corpus Christi, Texas, and from age six aspired to become a country music singer. He started learning how to play piano in the second grade, and learned guitar while in high school. Creager graduated university with degrees in business and agriculture, but after two years in Houston working an 8 to 5 job, he listened to his heart and moved back to College Station to pursue a career in music. Creager is a staple in the Texas country circuit and currently lives in Houston, Texas. He has recorded seven albums since 1998, and his most recent release is 2015's Gulf Coast Time EP.
Roger Creager's performance tonight at Hill Country Barbecue Market hearkened back to 1970s outlaw music, but also framed good-time original songs with the spirit of Billy Joel and Jimmy Buffett. Creager anchored the songs with his muscular vocals and a whole lot of sway from lead guitarist Aleph Yonker, guitarist/fiddler Rick Redfern, keyboardist Allen (Huff Daddy) Huff, bassist Stormy Cooper, and drummer Lyndon Hughes. It was unfiltered barroom honky tonk with a little Tex-Mex flavor, front-loaded with well-crafted lyrics that referenced women and booze, and fleshed out with guitar, fiddle, accordion and even washboard breaks. Creager and company did not break new ground, but with solidly rocking songs harnessed the high energy and the cowboy charisma that made a vintage Texas music sound fresh and interesting again.

It’s a fairly common scene these days, in the corridors of the dicasteries or the offices of the palaces surrounding the Vatican. Those who work there have, for a few hours, put on an extra layer. A coat or a sweater that they never take off, or that they put on, for the most resistant, when night falls on Rome, around 5 p.m., when the 18°C of the day gradually melts to iron overnight below 8°C.
While the cold is slowly settling in the Italian capital, after a summer month of October, the employees of the services of the Roman Curia go through these days of transition during which the temperature begins to drop seriously without the heating having been alight.
Everyone therefore develops their own strategy, while waiting for a manager to decide to press the button on the boiler. “I have two or three sweaters in stock, a scarf, and sometimes even a hat”, laughs a religious living in a house not far from the Vatican. Elsewhere, sweaters have appeared under jackets, in premises where the air conditioning is running at full speed in summer.
Certainly, here, no prime minister to promote down jackets in order to be able to lower the heating, as Elisabeth Borne did a few weeks ago. But the start of the riscaldamento traditionally only takes place quite late in the Vatican. In some palaces, it is even announced for November 21.
A use reinforced by an energy crisis which saw, in Italy, gas prices double in a few weeks. And, no doubt, by a desire to preserve the “common home” that is the planet, of which Pope Francis is constantly the ardent defender.

The A35 in Dorset is closed due to a serious accident this afternoon involving three vehicles between A3052 (Charmouth) and B3165 (Axminster).
It happened by the Hunters Lodge Inn and is causing big delays in the area. Police say the road is likely to be closed for some time.
A diversion is in place via Bridport, Crewkerne, Chard and Axminster. Westbound traffic should follow the hollow black square, eastbound should follow the solid black square.
More top news
It will be patchy but some heavy bursts wrapped up in it. By the early hours its across most parts.
More rain will only top up already saturated ground. Thats what is going to happen tonight.
Dry start but unsettled midweek, colder by Friday.

When Sailu posted this, I knew I had to try it out. Gujarati, stuffed and okra - a combination impossible for me to resist. And try I did, the next day! Amazingly delicious stuffing. Here's how I made it.
Made a not-so-smooth chutney with coconut, jaggery, green chilies, ginger and garlic (my addition).
Mixed with the remaining stuffing ingredients - roasted peanut powder, dhanu-jeera powder, garam masala and chopped cilantro. I forgot the sesame seeds in this. Seasoned with salt.
Mixed them all up with some oil and stuffed the slit okras.
Dropped the stuffed okras in oil seasoned in hing and curry leaves, along with the remaining stuffing.
Cooked covered (deviated from Sailu here since I couldn't wait for half an hour to cook this) on low, turning the okra every few minutes.
Fabulous dish. One thing I'd do differently the next time would be to put the okras seam side down first. They started to spill out a bit.
Original recipe here. Thanks, Sailu.


Conformational dynamics and internal friction in homopolymer globules: equilibrium vs. non-equilibrium simulations

Accepted: 3 November 2011
Published online: 14 December 2011
We study the conformational dynamics within homopolymer globules by solvent-implicit Brownian dynamics simulations. A strong dependence of the internal chain dynamics on the Lennard-Jones cohesion strength and the globule size N G is observed. We find two distinct dynamical regimes: a liquid-like regime (for < with fast internal dynamics and a solid-like regime (for > with slow internal dynamics. The cohesion strength of this freezing transition depends on N G . Equilibrium simulations, where we investigate the diffusional chain dynamics within the globule, are compared with non-equilibrium simulations, where we unfold the globule by pulling the chain ends with prescribed velocity (encompassing low enough velocities so that the linear-response, viscous regime is reached). From both simulation protocols we derive the internal viscosity within the globule. In the liquid-like regime the internal friction increases continuously with and scales extensive in N G . This suggests an internal friction scenario where the entire chain (or an extensive fraction thereof) takes part in conformational reorganization of the globular structure.

Illinois: Northwestern University is investigating whether the local chapter of the Delta Upsilon fraternity broke any rules by hosting a performance by the Half Pint Brawlers, the self-described "only hardcore midget wrestling company."
The Half Pint Brawler website claims that shows involve trash cans, thumb tacks, staple guns and broken bottles. "The midgets bleed what little blood they have for your enjoyment," says the site.
Mary Desler, associate vice president for student affairs and dean of students, said she was not informed until after the show. Fraternities are supposed to report sponsored recruitment activities prior to them taking place.

Eve: Battle in the Alien Ship is a Unit in NieR: Automata
Eve was again encountered in the alien mothership. He has the ability to regenerate no matter how many times he is killed, and adores the unit known as Adam - who he thinks of as an older brother.
- For the character page, see Eve
- The player will encounter this unit in 05-04
- When hit by Pod fire Eve will use a projectile shield, which will explode once a threshold is met, dealing damage and knocking back the player. There is a short window in which the player can evade this counter attack if timed correctly.
- The eruptions of energy Eve creates nearing the end of the fight appear on the ground slightly before detonating, leaving the player time to evade.
- Eve can use a finisher move if he grabs the player with his extended energy arms.
- As the encounter is a 2D sidescroller segment, using the perfect evade mechanic as well as jumping to avoid attacks is essential.

Most words and phrases have taken to themselves extended and inclusive meanings. A poet, when using them should be aware of the possibilities that such connotations also bring to the poem. A sea, when it is a "sea of troubles," is no longer a body of salt water; in deep blue sea we need to consider, probably by context, whether deep refers to "blue" or "sea." And this is just one level. Is the blue sea also a sea of blues, therefore a sea of troubles? That's another possibility. Then, like a dream, can it convey longing for distant places, a force limiting expansion of the soul, and so on and so on. All these layers of meaning, whether close to the surface or not, have a presence in a poem.
So a poet must be careful not to distort his clarity of expression by using words and phrases that carry meanings contradictory to what he intends. He must know and understand as much of the possibilities his words may create, what nuances lie hidden among the similes, or how his metaphor may be interpreted.Even then, the poet should not be surprised if someone ascribes to his work a totally subjective meaning or interpretation. The wash of language can validate almost any meaning. The surrealists taught us that.
