The Milgram Experiment
Saul McLeod published 2007
One of the most famous studies of obedience in psychology was carried out by Stanley Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University. He conducted an experiment focusing on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience.
Milgram (1963) examined justifications for acts of genocide offered by those accused at the World War II, Nuremberg War Criminal trials. Their defense often was based on "obedience" - that they were just following orders from their superiors.
The experiments began in July 1961, a year after the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. Milgram devised the experiment to answer the question:
Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?" (Milgram, 1974).
Milgram (1963) wanted to investigate whether Germans were particularly obedient to authority figures as this was a common explanation for the Nazi killings in World War II. Milgram selected participants for his experiment by newspaper advertising for male participants to take part in a study of learning at Yale University.
The procedure was that the participant was paired with another person and they drew lots to find out who would be the ‘learner’ and who would be the ‘teacher.’ The draw was fixed so that the participant was always the teacher, and the learner was one of Milgram’s confederates (pretending to be a real participant).
The learner (a confederate called Mr. Wallace) was taken into a room and had electrodes attached to his arms, and the teacher and researcher went into a room next door that contained an electric shock generator and a row of switches marked from 15 volts (Slight Shock) to 375 volts (Danger: Severe Shock) to 450 volts (XXX).
Milgram (1963) was interested in researching how far people would go in obeying an instruction if it involved harming another person.
Stanley Milgram was interested in how easily ordinary people could be influenced into committing atrocities, for example, Germans in WWII.
Volunteers were recruited for a lab experiment investigating “learning” (re: ethics: deception). Participants were 40 males, aged between 20 and 50, whose jobs ranged from unskilled to professional, from the New Haven area. They were paid $4.50 for just turning up.
At the beginning of the experiment, they were introduced to another participant, who was a confederate of the experimenter (Milgram).
They drew straws to determine their roles learner or teacher although this was fixed and the confederate was always the learner. There was also an “experimenter” dressed in a gray lab coat, played by an actor (not Milgram).
Two rooms in the Yale Interaction Laboratory were used - one for the learner (with an electric chair) and another for the teacher and experimenter with an electric shock generator.
The “learner” (Mr. Wallace) was strapped to a chair with electrodes. After he has learned a list of word pairs given him to learn, the "teacher" tests him by naming a word and asking the learner to recall its partner/pair from a list of four possible choices.
The teacher is told to administer an electric shock every time the learner makes a mistake, increasing the level of shock each time. There were 30 switches on the shock generator marked from 15 volts (slight shock) to 450 (danger severe shock).
The learner gave mainly wrong answers (on purpose), and for each of these, the teacher gave him an electric shock. When the teacher refused to administer a shock, the experimenter was to give a series of orders/prods to ensure they continued.
There were four prods and if one was not obeyed, then the experimenter (Mr. Williams) read out the next prod, and so on.
Prod 1: Please continue.
Prod 2: The experiment requires you to continue.
Prod 3: It is absolutely essential that you continue.
Prod 4: You have no other choice but to continue.
65% (two-thirds) of participants (i.e., teachers) continued to the highest level of 450 volts. All the participants continued to 300 volts.
Milgram did more than one experiment he carried out 18 variations of his study. All he did was alter the situation (IV) to see how this affected obedience (DV).
Ordinary people are likely to follow orders given by an authority figure, even to the extent of killing an innocent human being. Obedience to authority is ingrained in us all from the way we are brought up.
People tend to obey orders from other people if they recognize their authority as morally right and/or legally based. This response to legitimate authority is learned in a variety of situations, for example in the family, school, and workplace.
Milgram summed up in the article “The Perils of Obedience” (Milgram 1974), writing:
'The legal and philosophic aspects of obedience are of enormous import, but they say very little about how most people behave in concrete situations.
I set up a simple experiment at Yale University to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person simply because he was ordered to by an experimental scientist.
Stark authority was pitted against the subjects’ [participants’] strongest moral imperatives against hurting others, and, with the subjects’ [participants’] ears ringing with the screams of the victims, authority won more often than not.
The extreme willingness of adults to go to almost any lengths on the command of an authority constitutes the chief finding of the study and the fact most urgently demanding explanation.'
Milgrams' Agency Theory
Milgram (1974) explained the behavior of his participants by suggesting that people have two states of behavior when they are in a social situation:
- The autonomous state – people direct their own actions, and they take responsibility for the results of those actions.
- The agentic state – people allow others to direct their actions and then pass off the responsibility for the consequences to the person giving the orders. In other words, they act as agents for another person’s will.
Milgram suggested that two things must be in place for a person to enter the agentic state:
- The person giving the orders is perceived as being qualified to direct other people’s behavior. That is, they are seen as legitimate.
- The person being ordered about is able to believe that the authority will accept responsibility for what happens.
Agency theory says that people will obey an authority when they believe that the authority will take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. This is supported by some aspects of Milgram’s evidence.
For example, when participants were reminded that they had responsibility for their own actions, almost none of them were prepared to obey. In contrast, many participants who were refusing to go on did so if the experimenter said that he would take responsibility.
Milgram Experiment Variations
The Milgram experiment was carried out many times whereby Milgram (1965) varied the basic procedure (changed the IV). By doing this Milgram could identify which factors affected obedience (the DV).
Obedience was measured by how many participants shocked to the maximum 450 volts (65% in the original study). In total 636 participants have been tested in 18 different variation studies.
In the original baseline study – the experimenter wore a gray lab coat as a symbol of his authority (a kind of uniform). Milgram carried out a variation in which the experimenter was called away because of a phone call right at the start of the procedure.
The role of the experimenter was then taken over by an ‘ordinary member of the public’ ( a confederate) in everyday clothes rather than a lab coat. The obedience level dropped to 20%.
Change of Location
The experiment was moved to a set of run down offices rather than the impressive Yale University. Obedience dropped to 47.5%. This suggests that status of location effects obedience.
Two Teacher Condition
When participants could instruct an assistant (confederate) to press the switches, 92.5% shocked to the maximum 450 volts. When there is less personal responsibility obedience increases. This relates to Milgram's Agency Theory.
Touch Proximity Condition
The teacher had to force the learner's hand down onto a shock plate when they refuse to participate after 150 volts. Obedience fell to 30%.
The participant is no longer buffered / protected from seeing the consequences of their actions.
Social Support Condition
Two other participants (confederates) were also teachers but refused to obey. Confederate 1 stopped at 150 volts, and confederate 2 stopped at 210 volts.
The presence of others who are seen to disobey the authority figure reduces the level of obedience to 10%.
Absent Experimenter Condition
It is easier to resist the orders from an authority figure if they are not close by. When the experimenter instructed and prompted the teacher by telephone from another room, obedience fell to 20.5%.
Many participants cheated and missed out shocks or gave less voltage than ordered to by the experimenter. The proximity of authority figure affects obedience.
The Milgram studies were conducted in laboratory type conditions, and we must ask if this tells us much about real-life situations. We obey in a variety of real-life situations that are far more subtle than instructions to give people electric shocks, and it would be interesting to see what factors operate in everyday obedience. The sort of situation Milgram investigated would be more suited to a military context.
Orne & Holland (1968) accused Milgram’s study of lacking ‘experimental realism,'’ i.e.,' participants might not have believed the experimental set-up they found themselves in and knew the learner wasn’t receiving electric shocks.
Milgram's sample was biased:
The participants in Milgram's study were all male. Do the findings transfer to females?
Milgram’s study cannot be seen as representative of the American population as his sample was self-selected. This is because they became participants only by electing to respond to a newspaper advertisement (selecting themselves). They may also have a typical "volunteer personality" – not all the newspaper readers responded so perhaps it takes this personality type to do so.
Yet a total of 636 participants were tested in 18 separate experiments across the New Haven area, which was seen as being reasonably representative of a typical American town.
Milgram’s findings have been replicated in a variety of cultures and most lead to the same conclusions as Milgram’s original study and in some cases see higher obedience rates.
However, Smith & Bond (1998) point out that with the exception of Jordan (Shanab & Yahya, 1978), the majority of these studies have been conducted in industrialized Western cultures and we should be cautious before we conclude that a universal trait of social behavior has been identified.
Deception the participants actually believed they were shocking a real person and were unaware the learner was a confederate of Milgram's.
However, Milgram argued that “illusion is used when necessary in order to set the stage for the revelation of certain difficult-to-get-at-truths.”
Milgram also interviewed participants afterward to find out the effect of the deception. Apparently, 83.7% said that they were “glad to be in the experiment,” and 1.3% said that they wished they had not been involved.
Protection of participants - Participants were exposed to extremely stressful situations that may have the potential to cause psychological harm. Many of the participants were visibly distressed.
Signs of tension included trembling, sweating, stuttering, laughing nervously, biting lips and digging fingernails into palms of hands. Three participants had uncontrollable seizures, and many pleaded to be allowed to stop the experiment.
In his defense, Milgram argued that these effects were only short-term. Once the participants were debriefed (and could see the confederate was OK) their stress levels decreased. Milgram also interviewed the participants one year after the event and concluded that most were happy that they had taken part.
However, Milgram did debrief the participants fully after the experiment and also followed up after a period of time to ensure that they came to no harm.
- Right to Withdrawal - The BPS states that researchers should make it plain to participants that they are free to withdraw at any time (regardless of payment).
Milgram debriefed all his participants straight after the experiment and disclosed the true nature of the experiment. Participants were assured that their behavior was common and Milgram also followed the sample up a year later and found that there were no signs of any long-term psychological harm. In fact, the majority of the participants (83.7%) said that they were pleased that they had participated.
Did Milgram give participants an opportunity to withdraw? The experimenter gave four verbal prods which mostly discouraged withdrawal from the experiment:
- Please continue.
- The experiment requires that you continue.
- It is absolutely essential that you continue.
- You have no other choice, you must go on.
Milgram argued that they are justified as the study was about obedience so orders were necessary. Milgram pointed out that although the right to withdraw was made partially difficult, it was possible as 35% of participants had chosen to withdraw.

Why is it so many people obey when they feel coerced? Social psychologist Stanley Milgram researched the effect of authority on obedience. He concluded people obey either out of fear or out of a desire to appear cooperative--even when acting against their own better judgment and desires. Milgram’s classic yet controversial experiment illustrates people's reluctance to confront those who abuse power. It is my opinion that Milgram's book should be required reading (see References below) for anyone in supervisory or management positions.
Milgram recruited subjects for his experiments from various walks in life. Respondents were told the experiment would study the effects of punishment on learning ability. They were offered a token cash award for participating. Although respondents thought they had an equal chance of playing the role of a student or of a teacher, the process was rigged so all respondents ended up playing the teacher. The learner was an actor working as a cohort of the experimenter.
"Teachers" were asked to administer increasingly severe electric shocks to the "learner" when questions were answered incorrectly. In reality, the only electric shocks delivered in the experiment were single 45-volt shock samples given to each teacher. This was done to give teachers a feeling for the jolts they thought they would be discharging.
Shock levels were labeled from 15 to 450 volts. Besides the numerical scale, verbal anchors added to the frightful appearance of the instrument. Beginning from the lower end, jolt levels were labeled: "slight shock," "moderate shock," "strong shock," "very strong shock," "intense shock," and "extreme intensity shock." The next two anchors were "Danger: Severe Shock," and, past that, a simple but ghastly "XXX."
In response to the supposed jolts, the "learner" (actor) would begin to grunt at 75 volts; complain at 120 volts; ask to be released at 150 volts; plead with increasing vigor, next; and let out agonized screams at 285 volts. Eventually, in desperation, the learner was to yell loudly and complain of heart pain.
At some point the actor would refuse to answer any more questions. Finally, at 330 volts the actor would be totally silent-that is, if any of the teacher participants got so far without rebelling first.
Teachers were instructed to treat silence as an incorrect answer and apply the next shock level to the student.
If at any point the innocent teacher hesitated to inflict the shocks, the experimenter would pressure him to proceed. Such demands would take the form of increasingly severe statements, such as "The experiment requires that you continue."
What do you think was the average voltage given by teachers before they refused to administer further shocks? What percentage of teachers, if any, do you think went up to the maximum voltage of 450?
Results from the experiment. Some teachers refused to continue with the shocks early on, despite urging from the experimenter. This is the type of response Milgram expected as the norm. But Milgram was shocked to find those who questioned authority were in the minority. Sixty-five percent (65%) of the teachers were willing to progress to the maximum voltage level.
Participants demonstrated a range of negative emotions about continuing. Some pleaded with the learner, asking the actor to answer questions carefully. Others started to laugh nervously and act strangely in diverse ways. Some subjects appeared cold, hopeless, somber, or arrogant. Some thought they had killed the learner. Nevertheless, participants continued to obey, discharging the full shock to learners. One man who wanted to abandon the experiment was told the experiment must continue. Instead of challenging the decision of the experimenter, he proceeded, repeating to himself, "It’s got to go on, it’s got to go on."
Milgram’s experiment included a number of variations. In one, the learner was not only visible but teachers were asked to force the learner’s hand to the shock plate so they could deliver the punishment. Less obedience was extracted from subjects in this case. In another variation, teachers were instructed to apply whatever voltage they desired to incorrect answers. Teachers averaged 83 volts, and only 2.5 percent of participants used the full 450 volts available. This shows most participants were good, average people, not evil individuals. They obeyed only under coercion.
In general, more submission was elicited from "teachers" when (1) the authority figure was in close proximity; (2) teachers felt they could pass on responsibility to others; and (3) experiments took place under the auspices of a respected organization.
Participants were debriefed after the experiment and showed much relief at finding they had not harmed the student. One cried from emotion when he saw the student alive, and explained that he thought he had killed him. But what was different about those who obeyed and those who rebelled? Milgram divided participants into three categories:
Obeyed but justified themselves. Some obedient participants gave up responsibility for their actions, blaming the experimenter. If anything had happened to the learner, they reasoned, it would have been the experimenter’s fault. Others had transferred the blame to the learner: "He was so stupid and stubborn he deserved to be shocked."
Obeyed but blamed themselves. Others felt badly about what they had done and were quite harsh on themselves. Members of this group would, perhaps, be more likely to challenge authority if confronted with a similar situation in the future.
Rebelled. Finally, rebellious subjects questioned the authority of the experimenter and argued there was a greater ethical imperative calling for the protection of the learner over the needs of the experimenter. Some of these individuals felt they were accountable to a higher authority.
Why were those who challenged authority in the minority? So entrenched is obedience it may void personal codes of conduct.

The basic technique of English Paper Piecing is that of folding pieces of cut fabric over a paper template of a particular, usually geometric, shape (square, hexagon etc), which is then sewn to others of similar or complementary shapes, to make up a quilt block and subsequently a whole quilt. I won’t go into detail about the process here because there are so many helpful posts and videos on Utube and Pinterest showing you how to do it and also because some people like to do it slightly differently from others. I stick to the traditional way but shortcuts have been found that might suit you better. I feel it’s best to check out as many tutorials as you can and find your own way. However, if you have a question, please ask and I will try and help.
Here is a video clip from Sew Easy by Fons & Porter on Utube to give you a general idea about EPP as a technique. They are piecing hexagons which is the most popular EPP shape for beginners but if you get hooked you can tackle lots more shapes.
Advantages of EPP
- It is portable. You can sew while you watch television, sew while you sit on a park bench as your children play or sew on long car journeys. All you need is a small box to hold all your supplies.
- No specialist tools are necessary. All you really need to get started is a needle, thread, fabric and scrap paper.
- Fabric is folded over a precisely cut shape and so precision can be achieved more readily using this technique
- It lends itself to modern as well as to vintage fabrics.
- Inset seams are not a problem, your paper pieces don’t have to work with the grain of the fabric and small adjustments can easily be made as you go. Seam ripping, when necessary, is easy and projects where mistakes have been made, rarely need to be abandoned. Adjustments are easy without having to rip out everything.
- The paper pieces act as a stabiliser so that you don’t have to worry about stretching occurring along the bias edge.
- It’s simpler. Much less measuring is needed which is great for those of us, like me, who are not great with numbers.
- You don’t need a pattern to follow. You can work out what you need to do from a picture and just adjust the size to your liking. And it’s easy to create your own designs.
- Hand stitching is relaxing, therapeutic even.
- It is a technique that can be used to create applique motifs.
- Many different shapes can be used. Although the hexagon has become the most well known, many other shapes can be used, such as squares, rectangles and triangles, elongated hexagons (which include coffin shapes), half hexagons, pentagons (which include jewel shapes) diamonds, tumblers, octagons and curved shapes such as apple cores and clamshells. From my experiments I have found that almost any shape can be used. You can make a Crazy Quilt out of EPP shapes.
Disadvantages of EPP
I can’t think of many disadvantages…but then I’m biased!
- It is all done by hand.
- It looks different from machine work. I prefer the look of hand stitched work but others may not.
- The stitches can show, especially until you get more experiences. Some people don’t like this. There are ways of making the stitches less visible but this may be slower at first. Whipstitch is the stitch recommended for strength and durability but some people prefer ladder stitch or flat back stitch because stitches are less visible (you can find videos on YouTube). As you can see from the video above the trick with whipstitching is to catch a few stitches at the top only and not to dig down into the fabric and to “pull them snug” as they say. It help if you keep your nails pinching the fabric just above the paper piece inside, then your stitches can’t go lower.
- It is not fast. It is hand work, relaxing, therapeutic and takes the time it takes. You can make up time by being able to do it anywhere your sewing machine can’t go.
- Paper pieces need to be made or bought. (For a small amount of money buying your pieces does eliminate all the measuring, tracing and cutting involved in making your own templates and the purchased pieces can be reused several times over.)
- You can’t finish projects very fast. If you are someone who likes to whizz through projects over a weekend, EPP probably isn’t for you.
- Some shapes such as those on art quilts might be difficult
- You need to be clear about sizes of paper pieces. The size given refers to the length of the side of each shape. A one inch hexagon means each of its facets is one inch, not that it is one inch from side to side.

Pierre Boulez, Music Director and Rafael Druian, Concertmaster, New York Philharmonic
Story by Stephen Pleskun
It is a complex task to write about a complex man and Pierre Boulez certainly was that.
Born in an apartment above a pharmacy at Montbrison in France on March 26 1925, Boulez displayed exceptional ability in mathematics, chemistry and physics during his school years. Moving to occupied Paris in 1943 he upset his father (an engineer) by enrolling in the Conservatoire instead of the Polytechnique. Boulez’s winning of the harmony prize two years later can be attributed to his sharp intellect and his having attended Olivier Messiaen’s advanced harmony classes. He also learned much from pursuing counterpoint lessons with Andree Vaurabourg (Arthur Honegger’s wife) during this time.
His earliest compositions: a sonata for two pianos, a choral work and a piece for Ondes Martenot (the instrument Boulez played for a living at the Folies Bergeres) have disappeared. Yvette Grimaud premiered his Notations for piano in Paris on February 12 1945 and did similarly for his Trois Psalmodies that year. But both those works and Variations for piano and a quartet for Ondes Martenot, completed a little later, were withdrawn by the composer.
These were the earliest signs of a fastidious thinker who continually saw developmental possibilities in his scores and was to revise and expand many of them in the years to come.
The directions Boulez gave to the performance of his early compositions were confronting and he was soon recognised as being at the forefront of the avant-garde in music (not least of all for having a disdainful response to music he did not like). But his imperious attitude and insistent stalwart convictions soon ruined the friendships he had begun with John Cage, Henri Pousseur and Karlheinz Stockhausen; and in terms of association, other leading composers did not even get past a first meeting. From the start he was an iconoclast, and remained so particularly with his pronouncements on music. That they often were quoted out of context did not help.
His conducting career began tentatively when he became musical director of the Compagnie Renaud- Barrault in 1946 which allowed his analytical mind to regard the scores of Georges Auric, Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud, Jacques Offenbach, Francis Poulenc and Henri Sauguet; and to travel abroad. Although he did not care for the music, he conducted the works with professional rigour and composed an unpublished theatre piece of his own: Orestie.
Compositionally, Boulez’s stringent, elaborate and intricate application of serial techniques in particularly his piano pieces was not gaining him much of an audience. On reviewing his Piano Sonata no.2 in 1952 Australian composer Peggy Glanville-Hicks observed: “To the eye and intellect, the printed page of Boulez presents logic and design, but to the ear, its true arbiter, these are not apparent”. Something had to change.
It was at Baden Baden in Germany where the premiere of his Le Marteau Sans Maitre by alto Sibylla Plate and members of the Sudwestfunk Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hans Rosbaud on June 18 1955 introduced a beautiful, scintillating piece of music that was so influential aspiring composers worldwide copied the instrumentation (often much to the chagrin of their teachers) and since then including a percussionist in a chamber work has become a standard practice. The same orchestra, with soprano Eva Maria Rogner conducted by Boulez premiered another masterpiece of his: Pli Selon Pli at Donaueschingen on October 20 1962.
In the meantime Boulez became organiser, director and eventually conductor of the Domaine Musical, a Parisian chamber ensemble that presented the works of living and recently deceased composers. It became a model for similar enterprises worldwide before Boulez’s resignation in 1967.
Increasingly, Boulez’s time was spent more with conducting than composing but he worked on Eclat for 15 instruments up to the day of its performance which he conducted in Los Angeles on March 26 1965 (his 40th birthday). Typically, he expanded the work into Eclat/Multiples for orchestra and conducted the BBC Symphony Orchestra for its premiere in London on October 21 1970.
In 1977 Boulez became director of the newly built Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique in Paris. IRCAM (as it became known) is an underground building for scientists and musicians to research, develop and produce music. It also houses the Ensemble Contemporain, a chamber orchestra of advanced musicians. Costing some 90 million francs to build and funded generously by the government thereafter, hostility to the project came as people wanted to see value for money. Boulez responded with another masterpiece: Repons for six instrumental soloists, 24-piece chamber orchestra and electronics which he premiered at Donaueschingen on October 18 1981.
Other works Boulez produced at that institute were Dialogue de l’ombre double (in 1985); …explosante-fixe…(in 1993); and Anthemes 2 (in 1997). Many composers from around the world also had works produced there including Frank Zappa who Boulez had commissioned to compose The Perfect Stranger.
With the passing of Boulez at his home in Baden Baden on January 5 2016 an era has come to an end. It can only be hoped that future generations will treasure the marvellous compositions he composed so meticulously.

Although aging is inevitable, there’s plenty you can do to help promote a longer, healthier life. In fact, research has proven that how you age is less about genetics and more in your control than you realize, says Anant Vinjamoori, M.D, chief medical officer of Modern Age. This includes taking stock of your existing eating habits and opting for more foods for a longer life. When it comes to longevity, the first thing you’ll want to consider is the food items you tend to consume.
“The key is to avoid processed foods, which are often high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and sodium and can contribute to various health problems,” Dr. Vinjamoori tells Eat This, Not That! Indeed, diet plays an integral role in how we age and is a crucial lifestyle factor ensuring you live healthier for longer. “A diet rich in a variety of plant-based foods—fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds—is associated with longer, healthier life spans. These foods provide an abundance of phytochemicals and flavonoids, compounds that exhibit antioxidants , anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic properties,” says Dr. Vinjamoori.
And while there’s no single food that can magically extend your life, there are plenty of foods that you can eat in combination with one another that can help reduce your risk of disease and support you into your golden years. For example, take a look at the dietary patterns observed in the world’s “Blue Zones,” aka areas where people live extraordinarily long and healthy lives. Common across all these zones is a high intake of plant-based foods and a low intake of meat and processed foods, says Dr. Vinjamoori.
Here are seven foods that can help you live longer—and for healthy eating insight, be sure to check out 7 Eating Habits To Steal From the World’s Longest Living People.
Whether almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, or a crunchy combo of all, you’ll want to snack on a handful of nuts more often. The landmark PREDIMED study, a large, long-term nutritional intervention trial, observed a significant reduction in the risk of major cardiovascular events among those who ate a Mediterranean diet supplemented with mixed nuts compared to a reduced-fat diet. The group who ate nuts was observed to have a 39% lower mortality risk.
“Nuts are rich in unsaturated fats (a healthy form of fat), fiber, antioxidants, and certain vitamins and minerals that collectively promote heart health, help control weight, and possibly aid longevity,” says Dr. Vinjamoori.
Turmeric, a staple ingredient in Indian foods like dal, sambar, and rasam, contains curcumin, a bioactive compound with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, according to Dr. Vinjamoori.
Chronic inflammation is a significant factor in many aging-related diseases, and the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin can help mitigate this, he says, pointing to a 2021 study in Drug Design, Development and Therapy. What’s more, curcumin is linked to a lower risk of heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the US, according to a 2022 review in Cells.
Pro tip: Always combine turmeric with black pepper, as the pepper helps increase curcumin’s bioavailability.
Antioxidant-rich olive oil, which is high in healthy fats, is a staple in the Mediterranean diet for good reason. A 2022 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology It was observed that people who took more than ½ tablespoon of olive oil per day had a 19% lower risk of dying (from any cause) than those who rarely or never consumed olive oil. Specifically, folks who enjoyed olive oil had a 29% lower risk of dying from neurodegenerative disease (like Alzheimer’s), a 19% lower risk of heart disease, and a 17% lower risk of dying from cancer.
Next time you need a little afternoon pick-me-up, brew a pot of green tea.
“Green tea is rich in quercetin, a plant flavonoid that exhibits antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties,” explains Dr. Vinjamoori.
A 2022 study in Molecules suggests quercetin can eliminate senescent cells—aging cells that have stopped dividing—which might contribute to delaying aging processes.
According to Dr. Vinjamoori, quercetin is believed to activate the SIRT1 gene, a crucial player in longevity and calorie restriction benefits, enhancing the body’s ability to repair DNA, and potentially slowing down the aging process.
Onions are the richest source of quercetin, the antioxidant that has a protective function against aging, as of 2022 Molecules study. And a 2021 randomized clinical trial in the Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition observed that eating quercetin-rich onions helped improve cognitive function. Luckily, there are so many ways to eat onions: Try caramelizing them with some extra-virgin olive oil and adding them to an omelette or slice them up and toss them into a hearty salad for added crunch.
Shunning complex carbs isn’t key to a longer life. In fact, folks who ate about 2.4 ounces of whole grains (which is equivalent to about 1.5 slices of whole-grain bread) each day were observed to have a lower risk of premature death compared to the group who ate fewer or no whole grains. according to a 2016 circulation study. If you’re not big on bread, you can include other nutrient-dense whole grains in your diet, such as wild rice, oatmeal, farro, and low-sugar whole-grain cereal.
Berries are packed with a specific type of antioxidant called flavonoids, which have been linked to a longer life. A British Journal of Nutrition the study looked at data from the Nurses Health Study, one of the largest investigations into the risk factors for major chronic diseases in women that followed over 93,000 women over the course of decades. The researchers found a close link between eating flavonoid-rich foods—specifically blueberries and strawberries, as well as red wine, tea, and peppers—and a lower risk of all-cause mortality.

July 2022 Graphic Novel of the Month | This remarkable collaboration between Carnegie medal winning Jason Reynolds and acclaimed artist Jason Griffin has created both a lasting memorial to what the world endured in the pandemic of 2020 and a testament to the enduring horror of racism and what humans do to each other and the world. Printed on yellowed lined paper with every appearance of a notebook it looks and feels like an artefact of the troubled times we have all survived. This is lived experience we can all share with the creators, who have captured so brilliantly the sheer claustrophobia of being trapped within four walls, as indeed is the narrator. With a mother glued to the news with its rolling horror and a brother glued to his video games, a father coughing in isolation and a sister plotting protest, the boy wonders why the human race seems so intent on destroying themselves. The collage illustrations mainline emotion and every word of the spare poetic narrative hits home. The connection between George Floyd unable to breathe, tear gas victims unable to breathe, COVID victims unable to breath and the world in the grip of pollution, unable to breathe is truly powerful. But what we and the narrator realise is that the everyday mundane moments that we share with our loved ones is our “oxygen mask” and the repeated refrain as we are reminded to “breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth” brings solace and hope. While capturing a specific moment in time the messages are timeless and enduring. This is essential reading.

Will Freddy let this brush with fame go to his head? Of course he will! But that might not go down so well with his friends . . .
Graphic novels offer action-packed stories, stunning visuals and are fun! Graphic novels might well appeal to reluctant readers, but the assumption that it's not 'real reading' is far from true. Literacy experts, including our own professional librians at LoveReading4Schools, champion the graphic novel as an excellent way improve your child's reading and to encourage a familiarity and love of books. Graphic novels have plenty of text and often complex plots to follow, characters grow and develop - and the artwork is absolutely stunning adding to the allure and entertainment value of a graphic novel.
With a foundation in Japan (manga) and France (bandes dessinées) the genre is incredibly popular, the characters often entwined in gaming and movies to create a wonderfully imaginative fantasy world into which children can immerse themselves.

“The Beekeeper’s Son” by Kelly Irvin, book review
Only because she has been trained to obey her mother, Deborah has moved to Bee County, Texas. But she is counting the days until she can return home. Her father died 2 years ago, and since then it has been tough, real tough. But when Steven comes to a relative’s wedding and renews his interest in her mother, they sell the farm and move to be near him, with the understanding that they will marry.
Phineas King is the bee keeper’s son. As a young child he was injured in a car accident that claimed the life of hi mother, and left him with visible scares on his arms and face. While the Amish do not put a lot of stock in physical beauty, Phineas just knows that no young woman will ever look at him as a possible husband. So he has become satisfied with his life in the fields with the bees. Until Deborah arrives.
This is a well written story of how people deal with loss and over come it. I enjoyed the story and would like to read another book with these characters.

I listened to a podcast yesterday on my run around Lady Bird Lake from Motley Fool Money. (you can find the podcast here) They had on the podcast three authors of three books that dovetails perfectly with what I am thinking these days about my trading. The first guest/author was Carl Richards who wrote ‘The Behavior Gap’, the second was Christopher Chabris who wrote ‘The Invisible Gorilla‘ and finally Dan Ariely, the author of many books on our tendency (really not a tendency, but an inclination) to be irrational.
I’ve previously read Dan Ariely’s first book ‘Predictably Irrational’ so I am putting him aside for the moment but I got my hands on ‘The Invisible Gorilla’ and started in on it and admittedly I am just on the first (of six) chapters. All of this is in service of my selfish pursuit of learning how to be a better trader, of being able to set aside harmful thought processes and false intuitions in order to perceive reality just a bit better. I’m betting that if I can get a firmer grip on reality, I’ll make better trading decisions.
So far what I’ve learned is that we suffer from an illusion of attention. We think we see and are aware of out surroundings, but in reality if we are not expecting something to be in front of us (like a gorilla on a basketball court, a motorcycle turning in front of us, or a plane on a runway we are set to land on) then about half the time we won’t see it. This is especially true when we are engaged in a task requiring our attention.
Chabris will go on to discuss 5 more illusions we suffer from but it is the last one that I am looking forward to reading about and that is the illusion of cause and effect. We, as humans, really like to construct stories about what has happened in the past and to ‘connect the dots’ even when it makes no sense. I see that this as having great implications for investor behavior. The financial pundits love to create stories to explain a stock’s rise or fall, when I have found many times the movement defies logic.
When the stories don’t make sense, the pundits say that the stock is no longer trading on fundamentals, but is trading technically.
As I said yesterday I am going to limit my exposure to CNBC during the trading day, but one of the pundits I refuse to give up is Josh Brown of The Reformed Broker. So for that reason I will still watch the Fast Money Halftime Report. If you haven’t read his blog, its the best there is in the world of finance. His most recent blog about investor behavior (which you can read here) is just priceless.

The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) compound in Quezon City will be placed under lockdown to conduct disinfection from July 15 to Aug. 2, 2020 after one of its officials tested positive for COVID-19.
DAR Secretary John Castriciones issued a memorandum for the immediate suspension of work at the DAR main office, along with its Regional Offices 4-A and 4-B that are also located in the DAR compound in Elliptical Road on Tuesday afternoon.
He said that all its personnel will be working from home while disinfection of the whole building will be conducted during the lockdown.
The DAR chief also instructed Administrative Services Director Primo Lara to closely coordinate with the Department of Health (DoH) for the swab testing of all DAR employees who had direct contact with the official who contracted the virus.
These employees will be tested from July 16 to July 18, 2020.
Castriciones said the DAR chief protocol officer would conduct a comprehensive contact tracing for the purpose of reporting findings to the DoH.
He also ordered all DAR employees to report their health status to their respective sectoral heads for monitoring and safety protocols.
For the time being, Castriciones ensured that critical office functions, as determined by the sectors, will be manned by a skeleton workforce during the lockdown.
However, he noted that the lockdown period may be shortened or extended depending on the health emergency situation and swab tests results.

The Oculus Rift S is set to release in the second quarter of 2019 and will cost $399. See their launch video below. The Oculus Rift S uses only one cable from the headset itself, and still features a headphone jack.
The Rift S will debut this spring but Facebook did not provide a specific release date today at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
Ryan Reynolds marks Disney's Fox takeover with Deadpool post
"We are thrilled to welcome our new colleagues to the Fox board", Lachlan Murdoch said in a statement carried by Fox News . Last April, Disney launched ESPN+, a $5-a-month sports streaming service that has already passed 2 million subscribers.
If you've ever bumped into objects while moving around in VR, the Oculus Rift S has a solution for you.
The flagship Oculus Rift headset is getting a bit of an upgrade, and it will be at a price most players can afford. Apart from internal sensors, the HMD has five inside-out tracking sensors to track the new Touch controllers and let users observe their surroundings without taking off the HMD. As a comparison, the display on the original Rift headset has a resolution of 1080 x 1200 per eye. And thanks to some help from Lenovo, Oculus claims the Rift S will be more comfortable as well, due to improved weight distribution, better light blocking, and a redesigned Halo headband similar to what you get on the PSVR and HP Reverb. While the displays have been updated in these two areas, the refresh rate drops from 90Hz to 80Hz, which wont make a significant difference to the overall playing experience. And while the Rift S is slightly heavier than the original Rift, the new Lenovo design is reportedly easier to wear for longer periods. The viewing angle is a little wider, but the Rift S switches to LCD instead of OLED, which should reduce the screen door effect (the Oculus Rift used a PenTile OLED, while the LCDs are RGB). Oculus Insight will also be included in the company's upcoming Quest virtual reality headset.
I marveled at the planets in the nebulous skies of Asgard as I crossed a rainbow bridge and noticed tons of gory detail as I battled a Kraken in a violent ocean, though I can't definitively say how much better the fidelity is compared to what you'd get on a standard Rift.

Top customer reviews
The only complaint I have is that red isn't my favorite color, blue would be better.
However, I basically have 2 complaints. Firstly the wrist rest plate where you could put your palms on it does not have good quality, or in other words, you actually do not feel comfortable by using that cuz you feel like you palms are slipping down the wrist rest. Secondly, you can not really see the capital LED sign cuz it is completely blocked by the number keys so 99% of all time you couldn't see whether you are turning on the CAPS or not.
Generally, it is superior to me. I like the design and everything related to it and some more it fits my PC theme (Red lights from head to toe). You never gonna regret after buying I gotta say.

A lot of Capitol Hill newbies head to Washington wide-eyed, bushy-tailed and ready to change the world. Former staffer Mark Moore actually did it, and is being honored for his work to help children suffering from hunger and malnutrition.
The 47-year-old Michigan native and former legislative fellow for Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) created MANA Nutrition (MANA stands for “Mother Administered Nutritive Aid”), which produces small packets of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF). Contracts with USAID and UNICEF have helped get the mixtures of peanut butter, milk and vitamins into the hands of more than 2 million kids in developing countries. MANA Nutrition can produce as much as 46,000 pounds of the packets daily — enough to feed 1,500 kids for six weeks.
“I remember going home and telling my wife and saying I saw this video of this peanut butter stuff and it was amazing, I was shocked.”
Now Moore’s Georgia-based nonprofit is being honored by the United States Global Leadership Coalition as a “smart power innovation.”
The MANA Nutrition CEO, who spent nearly a decade working in eastern Uganda, says the combination of experiences in Africa and at the Capitol helped shape his vision: “What the Hill represents I think in its best moments is to scale change by making the rules.”
Even, if at times, it seemed like he wasn’t making a difference amid the red tape of Washington, he said with a laugh: “As a staffer you realize, I don’t make rules, I just go to meetings!”
He credits his time in the nation’s capital, as well as nearly a decade working in eastern Uganda, with helping him to start the organization.
“Without my D.C. chapter I would never have done this.”

WATERTOWN — Residents in the north country can’t go much more than a couple of blocks without seeing a locally owned small business, and no day is more important to small businesses than the day after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday.
Julie M. Lichtenauer, who is originally from the Bay Area in California, and co-owns Crosstown Julie Brown ReMarket in the Washington Street Plaza across from Watertown High School, said that in prior years Small Business Saturday has been their busiest day of the year .
“It really is the kickoff to the holiday season, and it shows all of our local community, what local has to offer,” she said.
Mrs. Lichtenauer called her store a “host” to other local sellers, as it sells goods from about 40 small businesses.
Starting in downtown Watertown, Mrs. Lichtenauer said that moving into Washington Street has worked really well, particularly for parking.
She said she was told that people would pass by and say they would stop some other time.
“Local, small businesses, you can’t pass them by. You have to stop,” she said.
She said that she and her husband decided to become small business owners when her husband retired and wanted to become his own boss.
“With the help of community support, our store was born,” she said.
Downtown, Paddock Art & Antiques calls the historic Paddock Arcade home.
Catherine A. Ellsworth, co-owner of Paddock Art & Antiques, said more people in the community will come out and look for small businesses to support this weekend on Small Business Saturday.
“As a small business, we exist because of people who support us,” she said.
The business has been open for 15 years, and has been part of other shops in the north country as well as traveling shows.
“15 years, I guess it’s doing OK,” she said.
She said some people are coming in because of the hype of Small Business Saturday, the vendors, and to see the renovations inside the Paddock Arcade, which are slated to be completed this weekend.
Jake Johnson Properties, which owns the Paddock Arcade, posted on its Facebook page that there will be a “Grand Re-opening of the Paddock Arcade” from 10 am until 4 pm Saturday.
Ms. Ellsworth said she anticipates that when the renovations are complete, it will be “fabulous.”
“We are getting more retail people on the first level,” she said. “That’s what we’ve always wanted because the more retail people you have, the more people come in and discover you.”
She said all of the empty first-floor spaces are being rented out, but are not yet occupied.
There are three owners, the only three people who work at the Art & Antiques shop, and normally, one person works per day. That is not the case on Small Business Saturday, when all three will work because of how busy it typically gets.
“I wish it were more frequently like that, but we appreciate when it is,” she said.
All three co-owners have items for sale inside the shop.
Ms. Ellsworth said that originally the three owners liked to collect antiques, but began selling pieces and going to antique shows during the summer.
“It just evolved into that. We enjoy doing it,” she said.
She said that some of the antiques end up being part of their personal collection, while others are purchased to be resold.
Art is also available from Ms. Ellsworth, who does pottery; her daughter Claire Ames, who does charcoal drawings; and her husband Lee Ellsworth, who does photography.
Small Business Saturday is not so much an event as a movement, according to Benjamin R. Dixon, executive director of the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce.
“Everybody knows about Black Friday, but SBS is basically a movement to try and redirect some of those consumer dollars into small and locally owned businesses,” he said. “It’s a way to encourage people to ‘shop small’ during the holiday season.”
When people keep their money local, Mr. Dixon compared it to a form of community investment, whereby everyone in the community benefits as those dollars recirculate into the local economy.
“That’s one of the major reasons to shift one’s spending from multinational, large corporations engaged in Black Friday to small, locally owned shops through Small Business Saturday,” Mr. Dixon said.
He said it’s also important because many local shops depend on the holiday shopping spree for profitability. “This season is one of their greatest sources of revenue generation,” he said.
The chamber is doing what it can to raise awareness for the day as well as the movement.
“First off, we’re spreading the word,” Mr. Dixon said. “We’re also allowing our member businesses to share deals and promos through our website, and we’ll rebroadcast that information to local and regional markets.”
The chamber is encouraging local businesses to offer deals and promotions in order to attract local spending.
“Shout out how your business supports the communities we call home,” he advised.
One of the local organizations celebrating Small Business Saturday is SLC Arts, 6 Raymond St., Potsdam.
The arts center has planned a full day of events.
“Small Business Saturday is one of those events around the holidays after Thanksgiving that’s celebrated across the country,” SLC Arts Executive Director Maggie M. McKenna said. “We will be celebrating our one-year anniversary in the arts center space as part of SBS, and there will be all sorts of fun activities there throughout the day.”
In Lewis County, Kim Gracey, owner/operator of the West Martinsburg Mercantile on West Martinsburg Road since June 2019, said that they, too, are normally pretty busy on Small Business Saturday.
“Which is good,” she said.
In the store, they sell pottery, potteryware, woodcrafts, local honey, local syrup, local mixes, local jelly, crochet items, local tea, local cheese and so much more.
“It’s just a really wide range of items,” she said.
Ms. Gracey said she remembers going to the store as a child before it closed, and wanted to reopen it.
The building was purchased in 2001, but she wanted to wait until she retired to open the store.
She said she feels it’s important to have local sellers at her store because of how small the business community is in Lewis County.
“Why wouldn’t you want to support your family, friends, neighbors?” she said. “It’s great to do your big box stores, Amazon, or whatever. But you get a personal touch with every item that someone’s hand locally is making, and you can’t buy that from China.”
“We strongly support small, local businesses,” she said.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. Open, the last Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year (all times local):
Sloane Stephens has won the first set in the U.S. Open women's final.
Stephens broke No. 15 Madison Keys' serve twice and won the set 6-3. Keys hadn't lost her serve in either of her two previous matches.
The unseeded Stephens used her strong defensive skills to keep rallies alive, and Keys lost too many of them while making 17 unforced errors. Stephens committed just two.
Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens have begun the first all-American U.S. Open final in 15 years.
The matchup between the No. 15 Keys and the unseeded Stephens is the first between Americans at Flushing Meadows since Serena Williams beat her sister Venus in 2002.
Both players are competing for their first major title.
Stephens outlasted Venus Williams in her semifinal match on Thursday, while Keys routed a fourth American, CoCo Vandeweghe.
Stephens is trying to join Kim Clijsters (2009) as the only unseeded U.S. Open women's champions in the Open era, which dates to 1968.
Martina Hingis and Jamie Murray won the U.S. Open mixed doubles championship for their second Grand Slam title in two tournaments as a team.
Hingis and Murray beat Michael Venus of New Zealand and Chan Hao-Ching of Taiwan 6-1, 4-6, 10-8 in a match tiebreaker Saturday at Flushing Meadows.
Hingis, already a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and Murray are 10-0 as a duo. They won Wimbledon in July.
This is Hingis' seventh mixed doubles major trophy and second at the U.S. Open. She will play in the women's doubles final on Sunday, with Chan's sister as her partner.
Murray, the older brother of two-time Wimbledon champion Andy, won his third Grand Slam mixed doubles title.
Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens are set to meet in the first all-American final at the U.S. Open since the Williams sisters played each other for the title in 2002.
Neither the 15th-seeded Keys nor the unseeded Stephens had ever participated in a Grand Slam title match before Saturday at Flushing Meadows.
Keys is 22; Stephens is 24.
Both are playing the best tennis of their careers after having surgery.
Keys had an operation on her left wrist during the offseason, missed the first two months of 2017, then needed another procedure on that arm in June.
Stephens was sidelined for 11 months because of a stress fracture in her left foot. She had surgery in January and returned to the tour in July.

I approached this book with some caution. Anything that reminds me of Star Wars or Star Trek is not my favorite subject. Nevertheless, I am glad to have read the beginning of the Trophy Saga.
It was very easy to follow the story, which was not full of characters with strange names, and a glossary at the end was handy but not really necessary.
Saving the human race through travel in time was an interesting subject, as well as the hint of an Amazon society which did not seem to put men down.
I was impressed by the research Mr. Schofield must have done, especially in the area of astronomy.
I appreciated the two additional aspects: First, the hope that there may be a brighter outlook for our planet. Second, the story is written with close to, if not, perfect modern English.
This is a saga I expect to read as each part is published.


DBL103: Elkhorn, 'The Black River'
Release: April 14th, 2017
The Black River is the debut LP from Elkhorn, the duo of Jesse Sheppard (12 String Acoustic) and Drew Gardner (Electric Guitar). The album straddles the story of american guitar music by digging into deep folk, Americana, jazz and psychedelia. The outcome sits somewhere between the primitive reveries of the Takoma school and the electric/frentric fringes of Steven R. Smith, Ben Chasny and Tom Carter. What sets Elkhorn apart from these luminaries is the complementary interplay of the duo. The two voices are distinct yet wholly dependent on each other to create a unique statement on what a guitar "duet" is capable of.
In August of 2016 Elkhorn released their debut tape on Brooklyn's Beyond Beyond is Beyond and embarked on a eastern US tour. A tour diary and playlist of some live recordings can be found at Dying For Bad Music
On April 14th Debacle Records is proud to bring you Elkhorn's debut album "The Black River".

The decision was pronounced by ITAT bench of Shri Pramod Kumar and Shri Mahavir Singh.
A Mumbai bench of ITAT, in the case of Atul Puranik [TS-197-ITAT-2011(Mum)], has held that Sec 50C is not applicable to the transfer of ‘lease rights’ in land. ITAT observed that Sec 50C, being a deeming provision, would be applicable only for transfer of land and building and not in respect of any ‘lease rights’ in land or building. As per sec 50C, while computing capital gains, a higher stamp duty value can be substituted for actual ‘sales price’ in case of transfer of land or building.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series has been one of the most highly anticipated Star Wars spinoffs since it was first announced. After the Disney+ series brought back the iconic Star Wars character, fans eagerly awaited news of a second season. Here, we will cover everything we know so far about Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2, including its potential release date, the cast, the storyline, and more.
The Possibility of Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2
Despite not being greenlit or confirmed, there is a strong possibility that a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi could be in the works. Ewan McGregor, who reprised his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the first season, has expressed his hope to return to play the character again.
McGregor’s enthusiasm for the role could potentially speed up the renewal process. However, Lucasfilm and Disney+ have not officially renewed the series, leaving fans eagerly waiting for an announcement. Together with Mcgregor, Hayden Christensen, who played Darth Vader in the series, also expressed his interest in a press interview with MTV UK which can be found below;
Assuming that a second season is greenlit, it is possible that it could be released within two years, possibly in the spring or summer of 2024/2025. This timeline, however, would require an early renewal announcement from Lucasfilm and Disney+ and confirmation that a story has been chosen for the new season. Without these factors in place, developing the proper storyline for the series could take a long time, which could delay its release by several years.
Despite the uncertainties, Deborah Chow, the director of the first season, has also confirmed her willingness to explore a second season of the series. Originally designed as a limited series, it remains to be seen whether the creators will decide to continue the story beyond the initial season or leave it as a standalone limited series.
Regardless, fans are excited to see where the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi will lead, and whether McGregor will once again grace the screen as the legendary Jedi Master.
Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2: Release Date
If a second season of the show is greenlit, it is possible that it could be released within two years, possibly in the spring or summer of 2024. However, several factors need to be considered before the release date can be confirmed.
Firstly, an early renewal announcement from Lucasfilm and Disney+ is necessary. This means that the decision to create a second season must be made soon so the production team can start working on it.
Secondly, a suitable story needs to be chosen for the new season. This is crucial for the show’s success, as fans have high expectations from the continuation of the story. The storyline needs to be well thought out, and the writers need to consider the previous season’s events.
Therefore, it is important for the production team to start working on the second season as soon as possible, to ensure that it is released within a reasonable timeframe. Only time will tell when we can expect to see Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2, but one thing is certain – fans eagerly await it.
Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2: The Cast
The Obi Wan Kenobi cast is filled to the brim with talent. With no official announcement about a second season, any casting news is almost pure speculation. However, Ewan McGregor will likely play Obi-Wan again if a second season is confirmed. Hayden Christensen has also teased that there are more Darth Vader stories to tell beyond his appearance in season one, backed up by his confirmation to appear in Ahsoka.
In the future, Liam Neeson could also possibly return as Qui-Gon Jinn since he connected with the Force ghost of his old master in the Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale. If the show is renewed, it is evident that we will all be entertained once again by the talent of the Obi-Wan Kenobi cast.
Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2: The Storyline
The first season of Obi Wan Kenobi took place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, exploring Obi-Wan’s life, living in secret on Tatooine, and being called back to be a Jedi knight once again.
Along with McGregor returning, the show saw the return of Hayden Christensen as both Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader continue the story of their layered relationship. The show also saw younger versions of other iconic Star Wars characters, including Luke and Leia, and some new additions to the universe.
The first season of Obi Wan Kenobi occurred between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, exploring Obi-Wan’s life, living in secret on Tatooine, and being called back to be a Jedi knight once again. If a second season were to happen, there are several possibilities that fans have speculated.
One potential storyline could explore Obi-Wan’s relationship with Satine Kryze, the Duchess of Mandalore, which was never fully explored in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Other possibilities include Obi-Wan’s time on Tatooine protecting young Luke Skywalker or further exploring the events leading up to the original trilogy.
Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2: Trailer
Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 has not been officially confirmed. However, there is still much anticipation and conjecture surrounding the possibility of a second season of the highly anticipated Star Wars spinoff series. Therefore, a trailer has not been released and will not be released anytime soon.
Without even a trailer, fans can only speculate on the storyline, who might return to the cast, and when it might be released. Until we receive an official confirmation, we must wait patiently for any news regarding Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 and rewatch the first season on Disney+.

The inclusion of several Washougal parcels in Governor Jay Inslee’s Opportunity Zone designations is a piece of positive economic news for a town that often struggles to keep up with other Clark County areas in the post-Recession era.
To qualify as an Opportunity Zone, a census tract had to have an individual poverty rate of at least 20 percent and a median family income of no more than 80 percent of the area median.
Washougal had several parcels that qualified. Among the governor’s picks: Washougal’s “E” Street, from Sixth Street to 28th Street; portions of downtown Washougal including the Pendleton Woolen Mill and Bi-Mart locations; and the Port of Camas-Washougal Industrial Park, which includes the Steigerwald Commerce Center.
Being included as an Opportunity Zone doesn’t mean money falls from the sky. In fact, there is absolutely no guarantee that the zones will stimulate the local economy or attract any investment at all.
A bipartisan provision championed by Republican Sen. Tim Scott, of South Carolina, and Democrat Sen. Cory Booker, of New Jersey, that made its way into the 2017 tax overhaul bill, the Opportunity Zone program was the brainchild of the Economic Innovation Group, a 5-year-old Washington D.C.-based public policy organization seeking to “address America’s most pressing economic challenges.”
The idea for the zones is to entice investment into low-income areas that haven’t bounced back from the Great Recession of 2008. More than half of the areas qualifying for the program have fewer jobs and fewer businesses today than they did in 2000. The Opportunity Zones program offers federal tax incentives for investors willing to put money into these areas.
That doesn’t mean that investors will automatically swarm to Washougal and the Industrial Park. As Steve Glickman, the Economic Innovation Group’s co-founder recently told a reporter for CityLab, “the opportunity zone incentive is not a silver bullet.”
Instead, city and port leaders will need to position Washougal and its Opportunity Zones as worthy of new investment, while guarding against both gentrification and investments that turn the town into yet another bland, American strip mall.
In an ideal world, local leaders would use the Opportunity Zones to enhance everything that our “Gateway to the Gorge” has going for it — proximity to one of the world’s most beautiful natural areas, a strong sense of community among the families who have called Washougal home for generations, a burgeoning art scene, great walkability in the town’s downtown core, and its closeness to the thriving Portland/Vancouver metro region.
In a Feb. 26, 2018 guest column for the National League of Cities’ CitiesSpeak.org, addressed to city leaders, Economic Innovation Group co-founders Glickman and John Lettieri said politicians must be proactive if they want their local Opportunity Zones to be successful: “Work with your banks, business groups, nonprofits, philanthropies, and community development entities to make sure that Opportunity Funds dedicated to your city and its potential are established,” they advised.
Unlike the Clinton-era Enterprise Zones program, which had its fair share of flaws, the Opportunity Zones idea does not include language that safeguards communities against gentrification. Investors are under no obligation to provide jobs for locals or build affordable housing. Used in the wrong way, the zones could simply become another economic windfall for those at the top, letting corporations and investors avoid capital gains taxes.
Washougal and Port of Camas-Washougal leaders must try to ensure that investment revitalizes the area without displacing the very people relying on the Opportunity Zones to infuse opportunity back into their hometown.

Anwar Ibrahim, the leader of Malaysia’s main opposition party, has been acquitted of sodomy after a two-year trial. Judge Zabidin Mohamad Diah dismissed the accusation after determining the DNA evidence collected in the case was unreliable. The charge against the former deputy prime minster arose in 2008, following elections in which he led the opposition to major gains. Mr. Anwar, as leader of the opposition coalition is widely held to be the main threat to the current government’s 50-year rule. Mr. Anwar previously spent six years in prison on separate charges of corruption and sodomy after a fallout with former Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohammad. The government is calling his most recent acquittal proof of the independence of Malaysia’s judiciary.
