deciding that a statement made to the slanderer’s agent constituted publicationSummary of this case from Sleepy's LLC v. Select Comfort Wholesale Corp.
Submitted February 9, 1931
Decided March 24, 1931
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.
Henry Waldman and Joseph G. Abramson for appellant.
Alexander Pfeiffer and Jacob B. Goldberg for respondent.
The complaint states, or attempts to state, two causes of action, one for libel and the other for slander. In the first, the plaintiff charges that the defendant composed a letter accusing the plaintiff of the crime of larceny; that he dictated this letter to his stenographer; that the stenographer, in obedience to his orders, read the notes and transcribed them; and that the letter so transcribed was received by the plaintiff through the mails. In the second cause of action, the plaintiff charges that a like defamatory charge was made over the telephone.
The defendant concedes upon this appeal that the second cause of action states the publication of a slander. The question is whether the first states the publication of a libel.
In the law of defamation, publication is a term of art (Odgers, Libel and Slander, p. 131; Pollock, Torts [13th ed.], p. 255). A defamatory writing is not published if it is read by no one but the one defamed. Published it is, however, as soon as read by any one else. The reader may be a telegraph operator ( Williamson v. Frere, L.R. 9 C.P. 393), or the compositor in a printing house ( Baldwin v. Elphinston, 2 W. Bl. 1037), or the copyist who reproduces a long hand draft ( Puterbaugh v. Gold Medal F.M. Co., 7 Ont. L.R. 582, 586). The legal consequence is not altered where the symbols reproduced or interpreted are the notes of a stenographer. Publication there still is as a result of the dictation, at least where the notes have been examined or transcribed ( Pullman v. Hill Co., 1 Q.B. 524; Boxsius v. Goblet Freres, 1 Q.B. 842; Gambrill v. Schooley, 93 Md. 48; Ferdon v. Dickens, 161 Ala. 181; Berry v. City of New York Ins. Co., 210 Ala. 369, 371; Nelson v. Whitten, 272 Fed. Rep. 135; Puterbaugh v. Gold Medal F.M. Co., supra; Gatley, Libel and Slander, p. 91; cf. Kennedy v. Butler, Inc., 245 N.Y. 204). Enough that a writing defamatory in content has been read and understood at the behest of the defamer (1 Street, Foundations of Legal Liability, p. 297).
The argument is made that the wrong in such a case is slander and not libel (Salmond, Torts [7th ed.], p. 530; Odgers, Libel and Slander, p. 135; Angelini v. Antico, 31 New Zealand Rep. 841; cf. Osborn v. Boulter Son, 2 K.B. 226, at pp. 231, 236, 237). "It is difficult to see how A can publish to B a document which is written by B himself" (Salmond, supra). The criticism would be just if B were the author of the document, or wrote it of his own motion. The point is dulled when we remember that in noting and transcribing he does the bidding of the defamer, who has used him as an instrument to give existence to the writing (Street, supra, p. 297). Very often a stenographer does not grasp the meaning of dictated words till the dictation is over and the symbols have been read. This is particularly likely to be the case where a defamatory charge is made equivocally or with evasive innuendoes. The author who directs his copyist to read, has displayed the writing to the reader as truly and effectively as if he had copied it himself.
To hold otherwise is to lose sight of history and origins. The schism in the law of defamation between the older wrong of slander and the newer one of libel is not the product of mere accident (Veeder, The History of the Law of Defamation, vol. 3, Essays in Anglo-American Legal History, 459, 461, 467, 468, 471; Fisher, The History of the Law of Libel, 10 Law Quarterly Review, 158; 1 Street, Foundations of Legal Liability, pp. 291, 292; 8 Holdsworth, History of English Law, p. 365). It has its genesis in evils which the years have not erased. Many things that are defamatory may be said with impunity through the medium of speech. Not so, however, when speech is caught upon the wing and transmuted into print. What gives the sting to the writing is its permanence of form. The spoken word dissolves, but the written one abides and "perpetuates the scandal" ( Harman and Delany, Fitzgibbon, 253; Veeder, supra, p. 472; Street, supra, p. 294). When one speaks of a writing in this connection, one does not limit oneself to writings in manuscripts or books. Any symbol suffices — pictures, hieroglyphics, shorthand notes — if only what is written is intelligible to him who reads (Odgers, Libel and Slander, pp. 7, 21). There is publication of a libel if a stenographer reads the notes that have been taken by another. Neither the evil nor the result is different when the notes that he reads have been taken by himself (Street, supra, p. 297, n).
The soundness of a conclusion may not infrequently be tested by its consequences. Let us assume a case where words, unaccompanied by special damage, are libelous if written, but are not slanderous per se. Let us assume that the defamer has a grudge that will be served by defaming his victim in the thought of a particular person. Let us assume that this person is also his stenographer. With that mind he dictates the defamatory words and instructs the stenographer to preserve and read what has been written. By hypothesis, the one defamed is without a remedy for slander. By hypothesis, too, a writing has been created at the instance of the defamer and lodged in the custody of the very person whose mind was to be poisoned. The outrage is without redress if the libel is not published when written out and read.
There are decisions to the effect that publication to a stenographer, unless impelled by actual malice, is protected by a privilege whenever privilege attaches to the principal communication to which it is an incident ( Boxsius v. Goblet Freres, L.R.  1 Q.B. 842; Osborn v. Boulter Son, L.R.  2 K.B. 226; Roff v. B. F. Chemical Mfg. Co., 2 K.B. 677, 684). "If a business communication is privileged, as being made on a privileged occasion, the privilege covers all incidents of the transaction and treatment of that communication which are in accordance with the reasonable and usual course of business" ( Edmonson v. Birch Co., (1907) 1 K.B. 371, 382.). We make no attempt at this time to state with precision the limits of this privilege, for no such question is here upon the record now before us. The plaintiff charges malice, and privilege is a defense to be pleaded and proved ( Kennedy v. Butler, Inc., 245 N.Y. 204, 207). Enough for present purposes that the complaint is good upon its face.
The order should be affirmed, with costs, and the question certified answered "yes."
POUND, CRANE and O'BRIEN, JJ., concur; LEHMAN, KELLOGG and HUBBS, JJ., dissent.
Order affirmed, etc.

This paper presents the results of the characterization of novel CMOS active pixel sensors that take advantage of 3D integration to increase the electronic functions in the pixel readout cells. These sensors were designed in the frame of an R&D program targeting applications to high energy physics experiments at advanced particle accelerators. They were fabricated with the Tezzaron/GlobalFoundries 3D process, which makes it possible to build two-tier integrated circuits by the face-to-face bonding of two 130 nm CMOS wafers. High-density “via middle” TSVs and small-pitch Cu-Cu interconnections between tiers make this process suitable for aggressive mixed-signal circuit design.


There is a remarkable connection between the public and private sectors in Tunisia, an intersection that I prefer to call “the Golden Boys”. It seems that Tunisia has not learned from its past mistakes; in fact, it risks going back to the old days when an elite benefited from state resources and got rich at other peoples’ expense. Everything points to the fact that Tunisia is once again providing fertile ground for corruption.
“Voice of Corruption Hunters in Social Media”, a panel discussion at the International Corruption Hunters Alliance (ICHA) Conference hosted by The World Bank Group, provided a nice summary of the importance of social media for communicating on anti-corruption. Jeremy Hillman, Christine Montgomery, Jessica Tillipman, Matthew Stephenson, and Julie Dimauro filled out the panel and provided an interesting break-down of the role of social media and some stories to back up their claims.
Social media, in field of the anti-corruption, serves two distinct purposes according to the panel:
- Analysis, commentary and advocacy
- Investigation and crowd-sourcing
Prior to Kuwait’s independence on June 19, 1961, it had experienced periods of political instability. It had been the hope that turning into a state and adopting a constitution would end the political chaos and serve as a catalyst for Kuwait’s development.
On International Anti-corruption Day 2014, one of the issues we at the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative want to illustrate - is how recovering stolen assets helps fight corruption and end impunity.
On International Anti-Corruption Day, those involved in this effort, gather to express a shared commitment to take action, and to pledge - in the words of this year’s Twitter hashtag – to #breakthechain, against all forms of corruption - from petty bribes to grand corruption.
Here at the World Bank, we are hosting the ‘International Corruption Hunters Alliance’. The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, spoke out strongly, highlighting the malignant effects of corruption as, ‘an abuse of power; the pursuit of money or influence at the expense of society as a whole’.
Corruption is a frequently used word. But what is the exact definition of corruption? Is it the abuse of office or is it the absence of laws penalizing and preventing it? Does it mean a lack of enforcement of laws or the absence of justice altogether?
Follow the money, and you’ll find out how and why corruption has become "Public Enemy Number One" for those who are promoting global development – as crony capitalists in the private sector connive with corrupt officials in the public sector to short-circuit sound business practices, reward self-interested insiders, subvert the broad public interest, and undermine the ideals of good governance.
This week’s gathering of the third-ever conference of the International Corruption Hunters Alliance (ICHA) – a global network of prosecutors, lawyers, detectives, forensic accountants and policymakers who track down illegal and unethical financial practices – will underscore the continuing drain on development imposed by public-sector graft, private-sector lawbreaking, and the worldwide flow of illicit funds from sinister financial transactions.
Monday morning’s opening plenary session at the World Bank Group’s headquarters in Washington – headlined by Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge and heir to the British throne, along with Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim – began a week that should help focus worldwide attention on the way that systematic corruption enriches lawbreakers, undermines respect for the rule of law, thwarts good-governance efforts and drains scarce resources from effective development.
The three-day conference should also raise public awareness of the vigorous international action that has been mobilized in recent years, as corruption-related concerns have risen to a leading position on the global diplomatic agenda.
Inspired by then-World Bank President James D. Wolfensohn’s landmark “cancer of corruption” speech at the 1996 Annual Meetings, global action has been steadily gaining momentum – through such channels as the G20 leaders’ working group to tighten policies and procedures; the Financial Action Task Force’s standard-setting vigilance; the OECD’s Anti-Bribery Convention and its continuing monitoring of corruption’s toll; and civil-society organizations’ diligent watchdog efforts to ensure that development dollars will go, not toward graft, but toward the places where aid is desperately needed.
This week’s events at the Bank Group – focusing on the theme of “Ending Impunity,” and pivoting around International Anti-Corruption Day, which the United Nations has designated as this Tuesday – are timed to coincide with the launch of the OECD’s latest Foreign Bribery Report.
The World Bank Group continues to champion the anticorruption ideal and good-governance standards: by enforcing a “zero tolerance” policy for corruption, closely tracking furtive patterns of suspicious financial flows, and working with law-enforcement officials worldwide to track down assets that have been looted and hidden by kleptocratic regimes. This week’s conference is organized by the Integrity Vice Presidency – which coordinates the Bank Group-wide effort to expunge all corrupt or unethical practices – with the support of such Bank Group units as the Governance Global Practice and the Stolen Assets Recovery Initiative.

Fiscal and administrative corruption continues to strain the Yemeni economy; the very same corruption that was a major driver for the 2011 street protests and the ouster of the most recent national unity government. The three year transition period has not brought any noticeable improvement in anti-corruption efforts. On the contrary, with an all but absent and weakly performing government, corruption is still rampant and growing.
The last 10 years have seen turbulent economic times. The global economic crises was rooted, in part, in standards for guiding private sector behavior and setting economic policy that failed to meet emerging challenges and risks. One of the lower profile, but important, consequences has been to reexamine the fiscal standards that have guided fiscal policy and management practices.
On October 6, 2014 the International Monetary Fund, at a joint event with the World Bank, launched its new Fiscal Transparency Code (FTC) and Evaluation following two years of intensive analysis and consultation. I congratulate the IMF on creating a set of standards that capture the quality of fiscal reports and data, are graduated to reflect different levels of country capacity, and more comprehensively covers fiscal risks.
In a sector that is scarce and expensive to begin with, corruption can mean the difference between life and death.
I recently attended the World Bank Group’s second annual Youth Summit, developed in partnership with the Office of the United Nations Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth. The event, hosted thanks to the leadership and initiative of young World Bank Group employees, focused on increasing youth engagement to end corruption and promote open and responsive governments. In the wake of the Ebola crisis, and amidst some very eager, idealist, and passionate conversations, I couldn’t help but think about the price of corruption in health.
Many have argued that decades of corruption and distrust of government left African nations prey to Ebola. Whether in Africa or any other continent, it should come as no surprise that complex, variable, and dangerously fragmented health systems can breed dishonest practices. The mysterious dance between regulators, insurers, health care providers, suppliers, and consumers obscures transparency and accountability-based imperatives. As the recent allegations about Ebola-stricken families paying bribes for falsified death certificates illustrate, when it comes to health, local corruption can have serious consequences internationally.


Thug culture and the city's homicide rate
Deputy Chief Morris Tabak recently made a convincing defense of the SFPD against charges that it was somehow responsible for not preventing the rash of recent homicides in the city:
There is virtually no way to prevent these homicides because most are spontaneous and occur indoors...they are not a result of police inaction or indifference...The reality is every year[in a big city], there are going to be between 50 and 60 homicides...Holding the Police Department accountable for every homicide is like holding the Fire Department accountable for every fire, or holding the Department of Public Health accountable for every disease ("Police Mount Stern Defense of Homicide Record," Marisa Lagos, Jan. 19, 2006, SF Examiner).
And more cops walking beats in the Western Addition and Hunters Point---and other "community policing" nostrums---is unlikely to stem the tide of violence, particularly gun violence. But this reality doesn't seem to stop people---politicians and journalists, in particular---from demagoging the issue.
In its current issue, the SF Weekly does some of that, quoting Bill Barnes: "The police can go out and make an arrest...But if the DA isn't going to bring charges, what's there to fear for criminals?" ("Let it Bleed," Martin Kuz, SF Weekly, Jan. 18-24, 2006) The gist of the Weekly's article: Maybe---or, gee, maybe not---the city's recent gun violence is the result of the DA's failure to bring charges against homicide suspects. On the one hand, Kuz quotes Amos Brown, always good for a simple-minded soundbite, who claims that city cops like to see blacks kill each other: "Their idea of investigating is, 'Let them blow each other away...'" And Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi: "Right now...people feel like they can get away with murder pretty much anytime they want."
On the other hand, Kuz talks to DA Kamala Harris and others who remind us how difficult it is to build a criminal case when the standard of proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt." If you don't have evidence and witnesses, bringing charges against a suspect is an expensive exercise in futility. Public Defender Adachi defends Harris: "Cops want every case charged, but Harris doesn't just rubber-stamp cases." Police Inspector Kevin Silas: "Sometimes you do everything you can, and it's[the evidence] still not there."
Nevertheless, Randy Shaw and Casey Mills at the ultra-left BeyondChron use the recent spike in the homicide rate in SF as just another stick to use on Mayor Newsom:
Until yesterday’s Chronicle story, it seemed that few outside Supervisor Mirkarimi’s office remembered the Mayor’s pledge about community policing. While these plans were stalled since August, many believe, fairly or not, that far swifter action would have occurred if white people were being killed in predominately white neighborhoods...Perhaps more troubling: the root causes of homicide, including poverty, quality of education, and lack of opportunity remain off the table when discussing the issue.
I like the weasly "fairly or not," which is supposed to absolve the writer from even trying to determine whether the charge of racism against the mayor is justified. And the "root causes" trope is a favorite of pseudo-intellectual progressives. As long as they can ruminate ponderously about "root causes," they apparently think they don't have to address the specifics of an issue. (The "root causes" riff was a favorite of Matt Gonzalez when discussing homelessness in his campaign for mayor in 2003. A majority of the city's voters were unimpressed with Gonzalez's leftist rhetoric on homelessness, wisely choosing to go with Gavin Newsom's more specific Care Not Cash approach to the squalor on city streets.)
One of the main reasons the police and the DA have a hard time making a case in some of the recent gun homicide cases is the "code of the street":
"The ethical code of the street," says Inspector Antonio Casillas, a 10-year veteran of the homicide unit, "is that it's wrong to be a snitch." Tyrone confirms as much in justifying why he waited until his arrest in August to talk to authorities about Ford's murder. "Nobody tells cops nothin', 'cause if you get somebody arrested, you can end up dead."
But lefties and other demagogues don't want to talk about the "code of the street" issue, a k a, the thug culture that dominates these communities, terrorizing those---like witnesses to murder---who want to do the right thing. Cynthia Tucker, who is black, is the latest to enroll in the struggle against the thug culture fostered in the country's black neighborhoods by the rap/hip-hop industry:
A black-oriented cable channel, BET, plans to air a new unscripted show celebrating Kimberly Jones---a.k.a. Lil' Kim---for her crimes. Promotional ads for the show, "Countdown to Lockdown," declare that Jones entered prison with her "mouth shut, head held high, as she refuses to snitch." Jones, a rap star, recently began serving a year and a day for lying to a grand jury investigating a 2001 shootout between her entourage and a rival rap crew. BET is playing her lawlessness for all the money it can make...The popularity of thug culture is among the most serious of modern-day threats to black America, far more dangerous than any lingering institutional racism. ("Thug Culture Threatens Black America," Cynthia Tucker, SF Chronicle, Jan. 16, 2006)
Don't hold your breath waiting for city political leaders to engage on this issue, because progressive ideology dictates that this sounds too much like blaming the ghetto for its problems. The truth is that most black people don't like thug culture any more than the rest of us, but it's holding their communities hostage, and their so-called political allies---including their elected representatives---seem unwilling to do anything about it.


Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix Four-stroke prototypes in the 500cc class as from 2002.
Motorcycling - 12 Apr 2000
Suzuka, April 9 2000 On 8 April last, the Grand Prix Manufacturers' Association (GPMA) suggested that the FIM make a proposal to the Grand Prix Commission that exceptions be made to the Technical Regulations for the 500cc class of the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix. The FIM agreed to make this proposal and the said exceptions, which would be effective from 1st January 2002, are the following: For 2-stroke engines only, the fuel tank capacity will be limited to 32 litres maximum. 4-stroke prototype motorcycles will be experimentally allowed in the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix, with the following characteristics: 1. Engine displacement: maximum 990cc, regardless of the number of cylinders (minimum 3 cylinders) 2. Minimum weight: 3 cylinders 135 kg 3 cylinders (oval pistons) 145 kg 4 and 5 cylinders 145 kg 4 or more cylinders (oval pistons) 155 kg 6 or more cylinders 155 kg 3. Fuel Tank capacity: maximum 24 litres for 2002 and 2003 maximum 22 litres from the year 2004 4. Noise limit: pre-race limit: 115 dB/A post-race limit: 120 dB/A 5. All the rest as per the current regulations. However, if the following revisions are proposed by GPMA within one month of the signing of this agreement, providing there are enough arguments to guarantee that only PROTOTYPE motorcycles will be used for Grand Prix racing, the FIM will accept and approve them: 1. Engine displacement: maximum 990cc regardless of the number of cylinders 2. Minimum weight: 3 or less cylinders 135 kg 3 or less cylinders (oval pistons) 145 kg President Francesco Zerbi said: "It is a very important day for our sport. The philosophy of this new agreement is to clearly state that production motorcycles cannot be transformed in order for them to take part in the Grand Prix events that are restricted to prototype bikes. I think that adaptation to modern technology is a very important step forward in the progress of motorcycling and for our sport."

NBA legend Baron Davis has backed 30 Under 30 tech entrepreneur Chloë Cheyenne and her founding of COMMUNITYx, a social justice app set to match people with worthy causes and facilitate real change through actionable content.
COMMUNITYx is where changemakers meet and organize on causes from climate change to racial justice: think virtual protests, one-click petitions, and event coordination – WITHOUT getting lost in the algorithm, shadowbanned, or censoring marginalized voices.
Set for launch on March 31, the app is 32 years to the day since Chloë’s father, who is African American, was permanently handicapped in a police brutality incident; the family trauma that helped inspire this new app for change.
“When building COMMUNITYx, my number one priority was to make it the antithesis of the empty ‘clicktivism that we often see on other social apps,” Chloë said. “There is a digital colonialism happening on major platforms where activism, at best, gets lost in the algorithm, and at worst – is silenced, along with the general censorship of marginalized voices.”
She added, “COMMUNITYx is a safe space for socially conscious people to focus on what’s important without the distractions – and make real change happen with actionable content.”
In the beta phase, Cheyenne and co-founder/CTO Kourtni Marshall, COMMUNITYx gained accolades based on the mission statement, while also capturing the attention of Baron Davis, NBA star-turned tech mogul.
“When I learned about COMMUNITYx I immediately thought the concept of a social network for social good was brilliant,” Davis said.
“Then hearing the incredibly poignant founding story and learning of the accomplishments and track records of these two BIPOC co-founders, from Howard to Google to Forbes – it was a no-brainer. There is no better time for this product, and I can’t wait to put all of my friends on when it launches,” he added.
COMMUNITYx is available to download to March 31st, 2021. Until then, interested users can register for the waitlist to be one of the first adopters and can even vote for their favorite causes to take center stage on the app on launch day.

The Let’s be Well Red study was conducted to determine the effect of iron-supplement bars (containing 14 mg Fe) on anemia status in urban Indian women of reproductive age. The intervention group was given one daily iron-supplement bar and the control group received none, while both groups received anemia education. After 90 days, researchers found that hemoglobin increased and anemia was reduced among participants who received the iron-supplement bar.

We had the opportunity to sit down and talk to the awesome people responsible for Xenogenda Comix. If you like comics, and we’re sure you do, you’ll want to take a peek at what Phillip Lamont Lockhart and Chris Gilbert are up to. After you’re done, be sure to check out their work here.
What was your reason for getting into comics? That is, how did you end up involved in comics?
CHRIS: We got into comics out of inspiration from reading them when we were kids. We’ve always been big fans of marvel, dc, and manga and we always wanted to make comics of our own.
PHIL: It first started for me when I saw my uncle’s comic book he made when he was a teenager. Seeing that made me want to do the same and I’ve been doing it ever since.
Who would you say is your comic book inspiration as a writer?
PHIL: How they worked with each other back then, before their split up, reminds us so much how we are today. With how we bounce ideas off each other and how we’re able to create the content with only the two of us.
Before comics, what did you do? If you’re still doing it, what are you doing?
PHIL: As a kid in elementary school, I would just trace ninja turtles and power rangers before I eventually made comic strips of my own cartoon characters on writing paper during class. Rarely focusing on anything going on in the classroom. I did that all the way up to high school.
What was your first work in comics like?
CHRIS: Very exciting and fun! we were finally putting together all of our ideas down on paper and seeing it develop along the way.
PHIL: Chris and I first met in Saint Louis Community College. That’s the first time I actually met anyone who was into making comics as much as I was back then. How we were 14 years ago is exactly how it is now. Sharing similar tastes in writing, creativity, draw styles and everything.
How many years have you been working in comics?
CHRIS: 18 years.
PHIL: Been studying the craft since we were kids and learning as much as we could from the big names in the industry.
Tell me a little bit about your work. Where does it draw inspiration from? Where do you come up with your ideas?
CHRIS: Our inspiration comes from many different styles. We are inspired by anime/manga and American style comics. Also video games.
PHIL: We love Kazushige Nojima, Frank Miller, Akira Toriyama, George Lucas and Todd McFarlane’s work. Just to name a few, that’s what inspired us and our work to the point it is at now.
Who have you worked alongside in the industry?
CHRIS: No one as of yet, but we hope to work with very talented artist soon. We are an up and coming duo.
PHIL: We’re independent comic book artists with our own brand creating our own universe of comic storyline, attempting to break barriers as far as introducing a brand new way of telling stories in the sequential sense. Our networking consists of other indie artists in the independent realm of comics. We hope to meet and/or collaborate with more in the future.
Growing up, who is your favorite character or team? Who is it now?
CHRIS: We’ve always been fans of Batman, Captain America, and the X-Men just to name a few since there are so many.
PHIL: Spiderman was always my favorite superhero as a kid. Now I’m starting to like a lot of Ghost Rider/Johnny Blaze
Do you have any advice for a new writer who is just getting into the business?
CHRIS: Just make sure to stick with whatever works for you and always aim to be creative. It is very tough to be original but with your inspiration and ideas can make your work original. Always aim to make your story writing stand out. Readers will definitely see it in your work.
PHIL: As a writer, never write yourself in a box. Creativity has no bounds. For example, if you’re a guy who grew up in urban Chicago and have a lot of urban Chicago experiences, Don’t let that be all of your content. Learn about other cultures and walks of life, there’s so much out there. If you want a following of fans and readers, then be versatile and universal in you’re work.
Where do you see your work taking you?
CHRIS: We see our work being the new wave of characters such as superheroes and villains. The next generation if you will. We can see our work being very successful because of our hard work and our originality of our characters and storylines.
PHIL: We hope ours takes us around the world some point in our lifetime. Especially Japan, A good portion of our inspiration comes from there.
What are you up too next?
PHIL: We’re doing something that we’d never thought we would do, especially when we formed Xenogenda Comix. We’re in the first stages of starting a superhero-themed plot in our universe. We use to think that the superhero genre was a dying cliché in the comic/graphic novel/manga world. But it’s becoming more popular. We had so much fun writing and drawing original superhero concepts, we’ve decided to make this our main project. We’ve gotten so much positive feed back on these concepts and ideas, that we’re confident this will get us through many doors in the future.
Where do you see the direction of the comic industry heading in 20 years?
PHIL: Personally I feel that technology will be the biggest influence on this field. Publishing isn’t just paperbacks, bookshelves, or any type of bookstores. In between Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, anybody who wishes to share their work to the world can just post their work online and get known that way. In fact, the internet is constantly evolving and changing. Because of the instant accessibility, anyone can become an overnight success or what not. A lot can happen in one year let alone 20. I actually look forward to the next ten years, because I personally believe that our success will come from this.
How can people get a hold of you?
PHIL: You can email us at [email protected] and find us on most of the social networks by looking up Xenogenda Comix
Where can we buy and/or see your work?
CHRIS: By searching “Xenogenda Comix” in Amazon.com, there you will find our latest paperback publications. You can also search “Xenogenda Comix” any social media. We’re on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc for our latest artwork. We also have a website http://www.xenogendacomix.com/
PHIL: Like everybody in any industry, networking is essential to your name and brand. In the independent realm of comic artists, I find it can be lonely for most. Stop being a loner and network, network, network.
A Little Background…
Our story began when I met Chris Gilbert and Jason Lewis, the three of us were college students in Saint Louis pursuing a degree in general arts. When we met we learned that we were also armature comic book artists in the making and decided to make art together. Regrettably, the three of never actually finished a book let alone publishing one due to creative differences. After a few years went by, Chris and I decided to try again with just the two of us this time, which resulted in the creation of Xenogenda Comix. The name came from the combination of two words, “Xeno” meaning strange or different and “genda” from the word “agenda”. We always had separate characters and storylines from each other but our collaboration combined both worlds creating an elaborate fictional universe. Chris and I are constantly drawing, creating and writing so much, that we spend most of our time putting the work we did years ago together for publication. As independent comic artists, we learned from others before us that it’s important to take your time when publishing your independent work because comic books, in general, are more appreciated as time goes on.

Mario Sironi and Margherita Sarfatti: Between avant-garde and modern classicism
08 November 2018 / 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
CIMA is pleased to present an evening with art historian Rachele Ferrario on the incredible relationship between artist and critic Mario Sironi—one of the protagonists of the 2018-2019 exhibition Metaphysical Masterpieces—and Margherita Sarfatti, the well-known art patron, journalist, and founder of the Novecento group.
Both Sironi and Sarfatti held pivotal roles in shaping the history of Italian modern art, particularly in the short period that marks the crucial passage from Futurism to metaphysical art, and eventually to the so-called “Return to Order” at the beginning of the 1920s. After initially meeting in Milan during the first half of the 1910s, while Sironi was still engaged in the futurist movement, their friendship deepened in 1916, the unstable year of Umberto Boccioni’s death during World War I. From this moment on, this pair moved in parallel paths, working towards their shared goal of promoting Italian art both nationally and internationally, despite the considerable constraints placed on those years by the fascist regime.
As demonstrated by their prolific correspondence, Sironi was Sarfatti’s most important artistic interlocutor in years 1919 to 1926. Their letters shed light on their deep connection and demonstrate the ways in which Sironi inspired Sarfatti’s writings and ideas, particularly those concerning the birth of the Novecento movement. At the same time, the archive also serves as a testament to the influence Sarfatti had on Sironi’s artistic practice.
Later on in the 1950s, Margherita Sarfatti described Sironi’s talent to her friend Bernard Berenson as follows: “He is able to depict a human feeling just painting a pile of barrels or a bicycle: and that’s art!” Join us for this special night dedicated to this unique and important friendship.
Art historian and critic Rachele Ferrario teaches at the Accademia di Brera, Milan. She publishes regularly in the Corriere della Sera and has written several books, including Margherita Sarfatti: La regina dell’arte nell’Italia Fascista (2015 and 2018); La regina di quadri, the first biography of Palma Bucarelli (2010 and 2018), which has been just rereleased with a new preface; Le signore dell’arte (2012), a group portrait of Carol Rama, Carla Accardi, Giosetta Fioroni and Marisa Merz; and Les Italiens de Paris, sette artisti alla conquista di Parigi (2017).
Please note: CIMA will be live-streaming the program on our Facebook page.
6pm: Viewing of Metaphysical Masterpieces
6:15pm: Program begins, followed by audience Q&A
8pm: Evening concludes


Honor Launching A New Smartphone On 22nd May India – Might Be Honor 7c
Honor 7C was launched in China a couple of months ago. We had covered an article on that as well. Now it looks like Honor India is going to launch a new Smartphone on 22nd May in New Delhi and we are quite optimistic about it being none other than the Honor 7C. It should be noted that this smartphone is going to be the first “C” series smartphone in India after the Honor 5C. The “C” series from Honor is better known for budget friendly device and we can expect it to be a Sub Rs. 10,000 smartphone.
Today Honor India has created a new thread inviting people for the a new Smartphone launch. The picture hints many things like a 5.99-inch Screen, Dual Cameras and Dedicated SD card slot. These all hints to the Honor 7C. There is a huge chance that this is going to be the first major phone under Rs. 10,000 from Honor in recent times. Let us quickly take a look at it’s specifications.
Honor 7C Specifications :-
The device was first spotted on TENAA. The device is labelled as Honor LND-AL30. Honor 7C is going to have a 18:9 aspect ratio display. It has dual cameras in both front and rear side. However the rear camera setup looks a bit different than the previous Honor devices such as the Honor 7X, Honor 9 Lite and the Honor View 10. It has a black cover around the cameras. Honor 7C also comes with a Fingerprint Sensor at the back.
It is powered by Snapdragon 450 Octa-Core processor (clocked at 1.8GHz). It supports a 3GB of RAM and has an internal memory of 32GB for the base variant. The higher end variant comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The phone can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card. The Honor 7C has a 8MP camera on the front for selfies. The phone runs on Android 8.0 Oreo with EMUI 8 on the top. The phone is backed by a 3,000 mAh battery.
Honor 7C Price :-
Now according to me Honor might bring both variants in the Indian market to compete with the Xiaomi Redmi 5. the base variant of Honor 7C costs 899 CNY ( roughly Rs. 9,300) and the higher end variant costs 1,299 CNY (roughly Rs. 13,400) in China. But we have seen that Honor launches it’s phones in Indian market for much lower price compared to international market. So we can expect both of the phones to cost under Rs. 10,000.
Honor 7C Specifications Highlights :-
- 5.99-inch HD+ IPS display (720×1440 pixels) with 18:9 Aspect Ratio
- 2.5D Curved Glass\
- Face Unlock
- Snapdragon 450 Octa-Core Processor
- 13+2MP dual rear camera setup
- 8MP front camera
- 3GB RAM + 32GB Internal Memory/4GB RAM + 64GB Internal Memory
- 3,000 mAh Battery
- Android 8.0 Oreo WIth EMUI 8


Americans have known about the health risks of asbestos since at least the 1970s when most other countries around the world banned the insulation material because of its highly carcinogenic properties. With an ever-loving fondness for free enterprise, the United States decided only to regulate the asthma-inducing contaminate in the 1970s through regulations created by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). And although it was one of the first materials regulated under the Clean Air Act of 1973, President Donald Trump’s administration recently released new guidelines allowing the EPA to sidestep red tape and put asbestos back into the manufacturing process for some building materials.
Russia is one of the few European countries still producing the dangerous substance in mass quantities. Recently, images surfaced on the asbestos exporter Uralasbest’s Facebook profile showing the company’s pallets stamped with a seal featuring Trump’s face that reads, “Approved by Donald Trump the 45th President of the United States.”
It’s almost hard to believe this happened, but the fact-checking site Snopes claims Uralesbest’s latest publicity ploy is real. And honestly, the company’s faux official endorsement isn’t far off from the president’s previous comments about asbestos. In his 1997 book, The Art of the Comeback, Trump wrote that asbestos is “100 percent safe, once applied,” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. In the book, he continued:
I believe that the movement against asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal. Great pressure was put on politicians, and as usual, the politicians relented.
On multiple occasions, the president has also blamed the collapse of the Twin Towers on the absence of asbestos. Speaking to Congress in 2005, Trump said, “A lot of people say that if the World Trade Center had asbestos is wouldn’t have burned down, it’s wouldn’t have melted … A lot of people in my industry think asbestos is the greatest fireproofing material ever made.”
Actually, the original World Trade Center did contain some asbestos. Construction on the towers occurred in the 1960s and 1970s when the building industry was first learning about the dangerous qualities of asbestos. Believing a government ban on the material was imminent, planners decided to stop using asbestos on insulation after completing the 40th floor. After 9/11, there were multiple reports and worries that the asbestos pulverized into the air surrounding Ground Zero could have led to serious health complications for survivors and first responders.
Direct or indirect exposure to the carcinogen can cause lung cancer and mesothelioma, and it has been found to kill 40,000 Americans annually. The World Health Organization wrote that “all types of asbestos cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, cancer of the larynx and ovary, and asbestosis.”

Schumacher's former boss and long-time friend Ross Brawn said on Thursday that the former F1 driver is showing "encouraging signs" in his recovery.
Seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Schumacher sustained serious head injuries in a skiing accident in 2013, which left him in a coma for six months and unable to walk.
Ross Brawn who worked with the champion on all seven of his world titles expressed hope that one day he will recover from his injuries.
"There are encouraging signs and we are all praying every day that we see more of them," added Brawn, who is close to Schumacher.
"So it is difficult for me to say very much and respect the family's privacy.
The 47-year-old is being treated at his home in Switzerland since he was discharged from hospital in 2014.
Very few details have been made public on his recovery since.
"The family have chosen to conduct Michael's convalescence in private and I must respect that," the Briton, who helped German Schumacher to all his titles and worked with him at Benetton, Ferrari and Mercedes, told the BBC.
"All I would say is there is a lot of speculation about Michael's condition. Most of it is wrong and we just pray and hope every day that we continue to see some progress and that one day we can see Michael out and about and recovered from his terrible injuries."
In September a German court was told that Schumacher, who fell and hit his head on a rock in the ski accident in the French Alps, remained unable to walk.
His manager Sabine Kehm said in December 2015 that media speculation about his condition was "irresponsible, because given the seriousness of his injuries, his privacy is very important for Michael.
"Unfortunately they (reports) also give false hopes to many involved people."
On twitter friends, family and loyal fans leave their messages for Schumacher. Using the hastag #KeepFightingMichael, these are some of the tweets people have shared:
Thinking of you Schumi, fight on! as you always do.... #KeepFightingMichael— Ilker Kumlu (@ilkerkumlu) October 24, 2016

Bella Thorne never hesitated to go off against her ex, Mod Sun. She doesn’t mince words when people wrong her.
Now, she’s using social media to expose a monstrous hacker who has been threatening her with her own stolen nudes.
Bella has taken away his power over her — by posting her own pics for the world to see.
Bella uploaded multiple thumbnails of her bare breasts in screenshots taken from texts to her.
She also included a lengthy message of her own, written on the Notes App.
"Yesterday, as you all know, my s–t was hacked," Bella’s note begins.
"For the last 24 hours," she continues. "I have been threatened with my own nudes."
"I feel gross," Bella expresses. "I feel watched,"
"I feel someone has taken something from me that I only wanted one special person to see," she explains.
Bella reveals that she is not the only target of this sick person.
"He has sent me multiple nude photos of other celebs," Bella reveals.
She warns her fans and followes that "he won’t stop with me or them."
Bella predicts that "he will just keep going."
She’s probably right.
Perverts who enjoy threatening women and seeing them naked without their permission don’t generally stop on their own.
Bella reflects that terrible men have been a pattern in her life.
"For too long I let a man take advantage of me over and over," she writes. "And I’m f–king sick of it."
It is not clear if she is referring to having been sexually abused until the age of 14, here.
She did not "let" that happen; she was a child. It was not her fault. And neither is this.
"I’m putting this out," Bella explains. "Because it’s my decision."
"Now you don’t get to take yet another thing from me," she taunts the hacker.
"I can sleep better knowing I took my power back," Bella writes.
"You can’t control my life," she tells the hacker, who at this point has become symbolic of other predatory men. "You never will."
"Here’s the photos he’s been threatening me with," Bella tells her fans and followers.
"In other words," she says. "Here’s my boobies."
"So here," Bella writes to the hacker. "F–k you."
She explains how he has filled her with misery and dread.
"In the last 24 hours," she laments. "I have been crying instead of celebrating my book while doing my book press."
"Oh yeah," she warns the monsterous hacker. "The FBI will be at your house shortly."
"So watch. Your. Mother. F–kin. Back," Bella concludes.
Obviously, Bella Thorne has already shown fans a lot of her body.
While her personal history makes this assault on her privacy extra traumatic, her brand put her in a unique situation to silence this hacker.
She didn’t just call him out — she very correctly contacted law enforcement.
We can only guess how many other victims this alleged hacker may have — or how many he may have contacted.
Bella is brave for doing this. She’s a hero.

BEIJING — Asian stocks were mostly higher Tuesday as traders watched for a possible deal to cut Greece's debts and Japanese factory output rebounded.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 rose 0.3 percent to 8,817.9 after data showed December industrial activity rose 4 percent over the previous month. Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.7 percent to 20,303.9 and Seoul's Kospi was up 0.8 percent at 1,955.2.
Traders watched Europe, a major export market, following reports Greece and its creditors were close to a deal to cut its debts. Also Monday, European leaders agreed on a new treaty meant to stop overspending and put an end to the region's crippling debt woes.
"Everyone is watching the European summit and how the Greek debt crisis comes out," said Jackson Wong at Tanrich Securities in Hong Kong. "The general atmosphere is to play a wait-and-see game."
China's benchmark Shanghai Composite Index was flat at 2,281.4 ahead of Wednesday's release of a key manufacturing index. Investors are hoping for a loosening of credit curbs or other measures to boost growth if it shows activity is slowing amid lackluster global demand for Chinese goods.
Benchmarks in Taiwan and Indonesia rose while Singapore, Malaysia and New Zealand fell.
European markets tumbled Monday on concerns Greece's financial problems might not be solved even if creditors agree to cancel part of its debt.
Under a tentative agreement, investors holding 206 billion euros ($272 billion) in Greek bonds would exchange them for bonds with half the face value. The replacement bonds would have a longer maturity and pay a lower interest rate. When the bonds mature, Greece would have to pay its bondholders only 103 billion euros.
France's CAC-40 shed 1.6 percent while Britain's FTSE 100 and Germany's DAX both lost 1 percent.
Wall Street fell in early trading but Asian investors were encouraged after the Dow Jones industrial average recovered most of its losses to close down just 0.1 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500 lost 0.8 percent.
Borrowing costs for European countries with the heaviest debt burdens shot higher. The two-year interest rate for Portugal's government debt jumped to 21 percent after trading around 14 percent last week.
Portugal may become the next country "where default is a real possibility," said Martin Hennecke of Tyche Group in Hong Kong.
"The euro zone crisis is far from being fixed at all. Italy and Spain are effectively bankrupt as well," Hennecke said. "For Asia, that means there is huge uncertainty in terms of export markets."
The treaty agreed to Monday by all European Union governments except Britain and the Czech Republic includes strict debt brakes and is aimed at making it harder for violators to escape sanctions. The 17 countries in the eurozone hope the tighter rules will restore confidence in their joint currency.
The agreement comes as richer countries such as Germany are losing patience with giving Athens loans, saying the Greek government is not carrying out reforms and spending cuts fast enough. A German official proposed having an EU monitor oversee Greek spending but that idea was quickly rejected at Monday's meeting in Brussels.
Benchmark oil for March delivery gained 37 cents to $99.39 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
In currencies, the euro rose to $1.319 from $1.3114 late Monday in New York. The dollar held steady at 76.25 yen.

But when it comes to managing traffic, city officials have struggled to come up with a high-tech solution for overcrowded streets. While new light rail stations have been successful in putting more riders on public transit, the city is still struggling with crumbling infrastructure built in an era before the tech boom brought hundreds of thousands of new residents into the city.
Could smarter traffic signals be the answer? The Seattle Department of Transportation is hoping that traffic lights that can react to sudden surges of traffic might help ease congestion in the city’s busy downtown core. Technology firm Siemens will provide a system called Concert, which can visualize slow-moving traffic and allow engineers to make adjustments to light cycles at clogged intersections.
These aren’t true “adaptive signals,” which would allow automatic adjustments minute-by-minute as they sense traffic arriving at a packed intersection. What Concert can do is help engineers manually adjust light cycles when they know a traffic problem is brewing: at the end of a baseball game, before a big event downtown, or right after a major crash that shuts down traffic on the freeway or viaduct.
The city will begin by installing smarter traffic signals, along with cameras and electronics to measure traffic at the street level, along the Mercer corridor. The initiative is part of a larger plan to clean up the “Mercer Mess,” a persistent twice-a-day gridlock that was first reported on in 1966. The city will also add transit-only lanes and increase the number of buses traveling through South Lake Union. In the more distant future, transit officials hope that a light rail station and a city-wide embrace of more flexible start and end times for commuters could end the Mercer Mess entirely, or at least make it more manageable.
The city of Bellevue already has adaptive-signal systems at nearly 200 intersections. After the installations of the new signal-timing systems along Mercer Street, Seattle will expand the program to a total of five high-traffic corridors. The project, which is estimated to take nine years, will be funded by the Move Seattle levy.
But are smarter traffic signals on a few routes enough to stem the tide of Seattle’s rapidly worsening traffic problems? Researchers believe that the number of cars on the city’s roads will skyrocket as the population continues to grow, up-zoning in congested areas continues to be a hotly debated issue, Metro struggles to maintain funding for public transit, and new technological devices like self-driving cars put even more vehicles on the road.

Guatemala has the largest economy in Central America and contributes 25% of the Central American Common Market’s GDP. Like most economies in the region, agriculture plays an important role. The agricultural sector makes up 9.4% of the country’s GDP and employs almost a third of its workforce.
Despite the country’s large economy, it still struggles with high poverty and inequality. Rural women in Guatemala are underrepresented in the agricultural sector due to restrictive gender norms. They generally work on family farms, not receiving pay or acknowledgment for their work. Few women own land, further limiting them from accessing credit, and indigenous women are less likely to carry out paid work.
MEDA’s Women’s Empowerment for Central America (WE4CA) is its first project in Guatemala. MEDA is pleased to support rural and indigenous women and girls to work in the coffee and light manufacturing value chains. Through this project, MEDA will strive to improve gender equality and alleviate sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Guatemala.

What is chemosis?
Chemosis is inflammation (or edema) of the conjunctiva. It is due to the stretch of exudate
from the capillaries that appear to be abnormal. Often, chemosis is a symptom of eye
irritation. The outer cover is like water on it. The conjunctiva also becomes inflamed with a
gelatinous appearance. Often, the eye area is so swollen that the eyes become hard or
unable to close completely.
In some cases, it may appear that the eye has moved slightly
backward from the white part of the eye because of the fluid in the conjunctiva of all eyes
except the iris. The iris is not covered by this liquid and therefore appears to be slowly

Welcome to Part One of an eight part blog series about Romtec Utilities’ package lift stations for industrial stormwater applications. This blog series is intended to put a spotlight on companies that Romtec Utilities has recently worked with to recognize their efforts in managing stormwater environmentally conscientiously. It will also demonstrate the unique skill and understanding Romtec Utilities brings to the design, supply, and installation of stormwater pump stations for industrial applications.
Industrial stormwater awareness began in 1973 with the passage of the Federal Clean Water Act, which established the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), a division of the EPA. Initially, the central focus was sewage overflow and containment systems. Sewage is as unpleasant as it is unsanitary, creating a justifiable concern. Environmental concerns for chemical and debris runoff did not fully enter the stormwater picture until the 1990 Stormwater Amendments of the Clean Water Act.
There are two components of the 1990 amendments that play an important role in today’s stormwater management. Stormwater management systems must include the best available technology (BAT) and best conventional pollutant control technology (BCT) to maximize economically feasible pollution management. While this is not an exact definition, today’s marketplace reveals that BAT and BCT are economically maximized with stormwater pump stations, and Romtec Utilities’ packaged approach is one of the fastest, most reliable, and most affordable options available.
The technology behind stormwater pump stations is fairly simple to understand. As a stormwater event – rain – occurs at an industrial site, the water flows to lower elevations while collecting contaminants and debris. The goal is to direct the water to the lowest point of the facility and collect it. From the collection point, the stormwater can be pumped or transported to treatment. While the theory is simple, the engineering and design of these systems is sophisticated.
For most industrial managers, sophisticated systems are a part of day-to-day operations. They understand the importance of utilizing industry experts to manufacture and operate their systems. That is why Romtec Utilities makes such a valuable partner on industrial stormwater projects. Our expertise in lift stations and pumping systems allows our engineers to customize stormwater systems around the technical capabilities and staff of the customer.
From Romtec Utilities, an industrial client receives a packaged pump station with full documentation that is tailored to the customer’s objectives and abilities. Our expert documentation provides a clear outline of the project including a breakdown of the supply and installation procedure. This is how industrial clients meet BAT and BCT requirements while saving large amounts of money.
The end result is a fully integrated and technologically superior stormwater pump station that helps industrial customers to meet their environmental goals. While many industrial facilities, especially those in oil and gas, carry a stigma of being adversaries to the environment, all of the projects in this eight part blog series are terrific examples of industrial facility managers going above and beyond regulations to manage stormwater responsibly. The first project up is the nearly completed Ajax Gas Plant in Texas. Check in next week to see a modern stormwater plan in action.

“Prof. Ellis closes his essay on political correctness by noting that it has become common to decry Communist excesses, but no one dares hint at today’s ugly parallels… In another essay, Prof. Ellis analyzes those parallels from a different perspective. He notes that the old left wanted to seize the means of production but the current left has seized the means of expression. The resulting assault on free speech is one of the most serious threats we face.” – Jared Taylor, “In the gulag of the mind” – American Renaissance, September 2006.
“We understand the desire to permanently suspend him now, but it should concern everyone when companies like Facebook and Twitter wield the unchecked power to remove people from platforms that have become indispensable for the speech of billions – especially when political realities make those decisions easier.” – Kate Ruane, a senior legislative counsel at the ACLU, quoted by Kyle Morris in “ACLU warns of ‘unchecked power’ after Facebook, Twitter suspend Trump” – Breitbart, January 9th, 2021.
“Suppression of dissent and controlling behavior are police state characteristics. It might be less clear to some why dictating permissible use of language is police state control. Think about it this way. If your use of pronouns can be controlled, so can your use of all other words. As concepts involve words, they also can be controlled. In this way inconvenient thoughts and expressions along with accurate descriptions find their way into the Memory Hole.” – Paul Craig Roberts, “Is America’s future a civil war?” – Unz Review, January 10th, 2021.
“Unfortunately, the big tech control mechanism to shut down speech & assembly has now arrived on our doorstep… One week after the 2020 presidential election, The Conservative Treehouse received the following notification: ‘…given the incompatibility between your site’s content and our terms, you need to find a new hosting provider and must migrate the site by Wednesday, December 2nd.’ What does this mean? It means CTH is being kicked-off the WordPress website hosting platform because the content of our research and discussion does not align with the ideology of those who define what is acceptable speech and what is not.” – Sundance, “The Treehouse is deplatformed…” – Conservative Treehouse, November 15th, 2020.
“While traditional definitions of violence exclude pure rhetoric and only encompass acts of physical harm, critical race theorists do not see any meaningful distinction between words and violence as both are used for the sole purpose of attaining power over other groups… This explanation is also the reason why many adherents to critical race theory engage in acts of physical violence themselves, as physical violence is seen as a proportional reaction to ‘rhetorical violence.’ When violent anarchists such as Antifa employ their intimidation tactics against public speakers, the reason is because they see speech and violence to both be demonstrations of power with no moral distinction aside from the specific group interests they are advancing.” – Noah David Alter, “McGill student union demands professor lose title, free speech be curtailed in the name of inclusivity” – The Post Millennial, December 4th, 2020.
