NEW YORK CITY TESTS DIGITAL BALLOT IN PARTICIPATORY BUDGET VOTE
In New York City’s fourth year of participatory budgeting, five city council districts pilot a digital ballot and experimental voting interfaces designed to make “the best decision possible.”
On a warm Saturday afternoon in April, a mother perched on the steps of a public library with her two children, holding an iPad. “I want to do the last one,” one of the kids said. “Wait,” the woman replied, “I’ll tell you what to push.” On the sidewalk in front of the library stood the local city council member, Brad Lander, pitching people as they walked by: “Want to help decide how to spend one million dollars?” It was one of the last days to vote in New York City’s fourth year running participatory budgeting, but for the first time people could vote on a laptop or iPad.
Participatory budgeting is the practice, originating in Brazil, of letting community residents decide how municipal funds should be allocated in their neighborhood. In New York City, it is an almost year-long process, beginning with the development of proposals in the fall, followed by a consultation with city agencies on budget and feasibility in the winter, and finally voting on projects in the spring. The participatory budgeting vote is a far more inclusive process than local elections: Immigration status is of no import, as long as the person is a resident of the council district in which they vote, and, depending on the district, residents as young as 14 or 16 can participate. This year, New York’s fourth, more than 51,000 people voted on how to spend $32 million dollars on capital projects.
“The level of engagement and enthusiasm in this year’s Participatory Budgeting process was unprecedented and deeply democratic,” Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said in a public statement. “Across the city, thousands of residents of all ages and backgrounds came together to make their neighborhoods a better place to call home. Participatory Budgeting breaks down barriers that New Yorkers may face at the polls—including youth, income status, English-language proficiency and citizenship status—resulting in a civic dialogue that is truly inclusive and representative of the diversity of this community and this city.”
There is also more space for innovation in the participatory budgeting process than in regular elections, which made it possible to test digital ballots and experimental interfaces in five of the 24 city council districts that ran a participatory budgeting vote this year (of 51 total districts). To make the digital ballot a reality, the city partnered with Stanford University’s Crowdsourced Democracy Team and Democracy 2.1, an international project to change community decision-making. The Stanford team led the development of the digital ballot, consulting with Democracy 2.1 and the city on the user interface, and Democracy 2.1 led the ballot implementation during the vote in April. (Full disclosure: Democracy 2.1 is an organizational member of Civic Hall.)
“Make it as easy as an ATM—that was our goal,” says Lex Paulson, a professor of political theory at Sciences Po-Paris and an international counselor at Democracy 2.1. At the core of the Democracy 2.1 project is a voting algorithm developed by a mathematician and anti-corruption activist, Karel Janecek, that privileges consensus over majority-wins.
Deploying the digital ballot in New York City this spring was an opportunity to test some of the alternative ways of voting developed by Janecek and the Stanford team. In each of the five districts where the digital ballot was piloted, participants were asked to vote on an experimental ballot after their real vote had been cast.
On the actual ballot, voters were asked to select five projects, regardless of size or cost, no more, no less. In contrast:
One of the experimental ballots tried to solve the knapsack problem, a mathematical problem of combinatorial optimization. In layman’s terms, that means getting the most bang for your buck. This experimental ballot allowed voters to choose up to one million dollars worth of projects. Unlike the actual ballot, which restricted voters to no more than five projects, this allows voters to choose many more projects, because they find they have space for smaller budget items left over after choosing big ticket items.
Lex Paulson says this can give arts projects an edge, since they usually have small budgetary needs but, because they are seen as inessential (as opposed to installing air conditioning in a school cafeteria), are less likely to be among a pick of just five projects.
“When people vote they should see the same trade-off that a city planner sees,” says Ashish Goel, who leads the Crowdsourced Democracy Team. We spoke in April at a voting site on the Upper East Side.
“Our design principle,” Goel said, “[is] how to build for people so they can make the best decision possible.”
A second variation of that ballot allowed people to choose up to two million dollars worth of projects, even though the budget was less than that. Giving people more options raises the likelihood that someone will pick a winning project, a key factor in Democracy 2.1’s “satisfaction index,” a metric that they developed to assess the success and impact of democratic processes.
“Our premise is that the higher the percentage of voters who end up supporting a winner, the greater the level of consensus and satisfaction with the process will be,” Paulson explains. “Our argument—which our pilot data from 2015 is continuing to strengthen—is that the D21 voting system, through the effect of more votes per voter, is the most efficient way to maximize overall satisfaction with any democratic process.”
One of the other experimental ballots gave voters “down” votes in addition to “up” votes, which allows the city to see which projects are the most divisive or controversial. Another ballot showed voters randomized pairs of projects, and the voter had to decide which of the two projects they would prefer to fund.
During a brown bag lunch at Civic Hall last week, Paulson explained the many benefits of using a digital ballot, in addition to increased opportunities for experimentation and innovation.
To start, digital is mobile. Staff and volunteers were able to take iPads into parks, to go where the people are instead of expecting them to come to the voting site.
Digital ballots can also be more information-rich than paper. It’s easier to add visual elements, and the ballot this year could be translated into Chinese and Spanish. The New York Times reported that in one district last year, two-thirds of the ballots were cast in Spanish and Chinese. While printing foreign language ballots is possible, going digital means that you don’t have to guess at how many to print and risk having too many or too few in a particular language.
While we’re on the subject, digital ballots save trees and ink. Fewer paper ballots also means fewer votes need to be hand-processed; digital means getting real-time results.
Digital ballots also allow for project order randomization. Studies have shown that the placement of a proposal at the top of the ballot improves the likelihood that the proposal will be funded. Although printed ballots are all identical, digital ballots, when randomized, can eliminate that small placement bias.
This year, Democracy 2.1 and Crowdsourced Democracy Team only got involved in the final stage of the participatory budgeting process, the vote. However, they will be involved from the beginning in next year’s process, which will begin in the fall.
Lex Paulson hopes to experiment using the Democracy 2.1 platform as a deliberative tool in the proposal stage of the process, not just a decision-making tool.
Sondra Youdelman, the executive director of Community Voices Heard, a community organization dedicated to making civic processes more inclusive, tells Civicist that she would like to take a look at the statistics gathered from the voter survey to identify areas with underrepresented communities. Community Voices Heard has been integral to developing New York’s participatory budgeting process since it launched three years ago.
“I mentioned to Lex and the group that I actually like the idea of having iPads and having people go out in the community and get people to vote if it’s targeted properly,” Youdelman explains. Her concern is that digital ballots, without additional outreach in underrepresented communities, could further increase the civic engagement divide in the city.
This year, in advance of the idea-generating phase of participatory budgeting, Community Voices Heard sent canvassers to knock on 4,000 doors in public housing buildings to poll people on the projects they would like to see proposed, and ask if anyone would want to be a delegate in the participatory budgeting process. The cards that those polled filled out had to be entered in by hand. A digital ballot, deployed properly, could make this process faster and more information-rich.
It’s one of many possible engagement processes that the city could “upgrade,” so to speak, with a digital ballot.
“We’ll have a longer runway to experiment this year,” Lex Paulson tells Civicist. “And council members say they want to do more.”

The waters of the Canary Islands are a privileged place to enjoy watching any kind of sea animals, like birds or turtles although, no doubt, the favourite ones are the kings of the sea we call cetacean. In the archipelago we can find 28 out of the 87 species of cetaceans in the world!
Fuerteventura and, also, Lanzarote are natural habitats of cetaceans, so it isn’t strange to be enjoying a fishing day in the sea or sailing on catamaran to the island of Lobos and meet pods of dolphins or whales. In the island harbours there are specialised vessels offering guided tours to watch them.
Dolphins, which show up in pods and are very playful, usually accompany ships. So it’s easy to meet them and they always entertain the visitors. In The Canary Islands you can see common, spotted or bottle nose dolphins. Pilot whales, either short-finned whale or Risso’s dolphin, which also belong to this family although they are bigger and their heads are more rounded, are also common.
Finding pods of dolphins is fantastic, but one most incredible experience any person can live is to spot a big cetacean. For instance, between spring and summer big whales, whose true name is fin whales, arrive in the Canary Islands.
Others are here all the year through, but they’re difficult to spot as they’re deep water species that reach over 1000 m of depth chasing giant squids! We are talking about beaked whales and the majestic sperm whale, which can be over 20m long.
Weren’t it possible for vessels to depart, in Fuerteventura there is also a possibility to watch these animals in what is known as “The pathway of cetaceans”, permanent exhibition of natural sculptures consisting of skeletons of these animals. These specimens, which were stranded in the island coast for different reasons, are now sculptures that remind us of the importance of taking care of the marine environment. They are exhibited in Morro Jable, Gran Tarajal, Las Salinas del Carmen, Puerto del Rosario and El Cotillo.

Various Artists — Giant for a Life - A Tribute to Gentle Giant
(Mellow MMP 300 A/B, 1997, 2CD)
by Jeff Melton, Published 1998-07-01
The second of two tributes to rock's most misunderstood progressive band is another hodgepodge of tracks from the Gentle Giant catalog. Most bands seem to adopt the policy of covering the original piece in its entirety without straying from the original arrangements. This usually has negative side effects for fans since the first version of the song is rarely improved on. Vocally it can be a bit trying as well to listen to a butchering of your favorite piece from almost twenty years ago. Mellow's continuing trend of band tributes has both pros and cons to support this view. A few cases in point: Fonya's arrangement of "Talybont" is quite good with closing strains from opening part of Free Hand. I have to commend Sky Island for undertaking the tricky title track from In a Glass House, well recorded and faithfully played too, but vocally disappointing. French TV's cover of "Mister Class and Quality?/Three Friends" rocks quite a bit, which does come close to capture the feel of that segue from 1972.
Another focus of the tribute album phenomenon is on bands looking to make a name for themselves in the progressive niche. We'll probably never hear from the following bands again: The Chocking Smokers Band, Glass Haus, The Works... but who cares, right? The late Louis Mastro does a faithful job of "Cogs in Cogs" while Kevin Gilbert's last recorded new piece graces the other Dan Barrett organized tribute and worth the price of purchase for me. In summary: another mixed bag of dinosaur bones.
First ProgStock Festival Set for October – October 2017 will see the inaugural edition of a festival called ProgStock in Rahway, New Jersey at the Union County Performing Arts Center. With a definite slant towards neo-progressive music, the event is sure to please many fans with the inclusion of such artists as Echolyn, Glass Hammer, and Aisles. The festival will take place October 13-15. » Read more
Clive Brooks RIP – Word reaches us today of another sad passing in the music world. Drummer Clive Brooks, best known as a member of such Canterbury bands as Egg, Uriel / Arzachel, and Groundhogs, has died at the age of 67. Details are sketchy at this point. The news was reported on Nick Mason's Facebook page — Brooks was Mason's drum tech. » Read more
Col. Bruce Hampton RIP – The phrase "He died doing what he loved" is almost a cliche, but in the case of Col. Bruce Hampton, it couldn't be more true. Hampton, who was born Gustav Berglund III, collapsed on stage at his own 70th birthday celebration and later passed away. The event took place at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. » Read more

Parental Love Deemed Conspiracy
March 22, 2014 permalink
British child protectors seized five children from Carla and José Pedro. When the family complained to the European Parliament in Brussels, the British authorities knew how to react — they arrested the parents for conspiracy. Two news reports are enclosed. News services based in Portugal use real names for this family. The Pedro family has its own blog.
UPDATE: Portuguese immigrants caught up in UK adoption scandal
Portuguese immigrants were in Brussels this week fighting for children they claim were seized by UK authorities running a high-level adoption scandal.
And as the shocking news accelerated through international media, police were reported to have arrested the Portuguese parents of five children - accusing them of attempted kidnap.
The situation follows worrying reports of a scheme said to involve judges, lawyers and social workers effectively ‘kidnapping’ 4500 children every year to “feed the adoption industry”.
On Wednesday, Carla and José Pedro joined 30 other foreign immigrant couples to petition to European Parliament.
“You can hardly believe this story”, Victims Unite activist Sabine McNeill told the European parliament on Wednesday March 20.
“The cases related during a three-hour audience shocked euro MPs”, affirmed Correio da Manhã newspaper. “The denouncements point to the existence of a scheme in the UK involving lawyers, social workers and judges to take children from good parents - the majority immigrants - and put them up for adoption, with the objective of feeding the industry surrounding adoptions”.
“It’s all done for profit!” accused one grandfather in the delegation.
In its own report, SIC TV showed the parents and family members later going to the British Embassy where they attempted to deliver a dossier on the scandal.
According to the report “neither the British embassy nor the British consulate would receive them”.
Said Susana Frexes reporting for SIC, the Euro Parliament does not have the power to force the UK authorities to do anything, but the hope of families is that it can at least push for change.
Euro MP Angelika Werthmann explained it is “very much a Human Rights issue”: “The Human Rights of the child need to be heard”.
Carla and José Pedro, campaigning every way they can for the children that were forcibly taken from them over a year ago, have now reportedly been arrested in their hometown of Grantham, Lincolnshire - on suspicion of attempting to kidnap their own children.
The news reported by Público and picked up by other media instantly came via Sabine McNeill. It is developing rapidly, and we will bring updates throughout the day.
Carla and José, both 43, told SIC television that they wanted their case to be transferred to social services in Portugal, as they are confident that if it is, they will then win parental custody back. All their children are reported to have Portuguese nationality.
The couple’s nightmare began in April 2013 after their eldest son, a child with mental problems, complained at school that his father had beaten him.
It was an accusation that the boy later retracted many times, but it was enough for social workers to arrive on the Pedro’s doorstep in Grantham,Lincolnshire, and remove all five children - aged from 3 to 14 - on the same day.
José Pedro was also taken into police custody, but released hours later “due to lack of evidence”, writes Correio da Manhã.
Originally told their children would be removed for only 72 hours, the Pedros have been without them ever since.
They now see their children only once every two months for an hour in the company of social workers, writes Público newspaper.
“They cry. They are thin, and they want to come home”, Carla told SIC’s television team.
The two youngest have been put up for adoption against the parents’ wishes and their eldest daughter has since threatened to kill herself if she loses her little siblings, Público adds.
It is a tragedy considering both parents say they never beat their children - and the reason given by the UK courts for not returning them was “the risk of future emotional damage”.
As Euro MP Angelika Werthmann pointed out, the emotional damage of separation is plain for all to see.
It now remains to be seen what happens to these children, and those of all the other families (Russians, Lithuanians and Latvians) who petitioned Brussels on Wednesday March 20.
The Facebook site Stolen Children of the UK, which is quoted in CM as saying the forced adoption scheme affects 4500 children every year, warns families: “Love your family today, because tomorrow the Government might take them away”.
Now, there is the added spectacle of parents taken into custody as this high-profile case goes viral.

Portuguese couple arrested in UK for conspiring to abduct own children from social care
A Portuguese couple living in the UK has been arrested along with two other people for conspiring to abduct “a number of identified children” – believed to be their own children who were placed in UK state care last year – after accusing the British authorities of unjustly taking them. Portugal’s State Secretary for Communities is considering taking action.
Carla and José Pedro, who have been living in Grantham, Lincolnshire, for the past 11 years, had their five children removed from them by local social services last April.
The move came after their eldest son, who suffers from learning disabilities and hyperactivity, told a social worker assigned to help him at school that his father had hit him.
Originally from Almeirim near Santarém, Central Portugal, the couple claims they were told on the day the authorities came to take the children that they were being placed into care for just 72 hours, but the youngsters were never brought home.
A long court battle ensued in which the couple had to face social services in the British legal system.
Eight months later, in December, a family court ruled that the two youngest children, aged three and five, should be put up for adoption, while the older three, aged 12 to 14, were to be placed in foster care until they turn 21.
This morning (Friday, 21 March) reports emerged that a couple believed to be Carla and José Pedro had been arrested by Lincolnshire police for “conspiring to abduct” the children.
They were arrested in a police sting named Operation Shamrock.
In an statement sent to The Portugal News, a spokesperson for the force confirmed: “At approximately 7am today four people were arrested at two separate addresses in Grantham on suspicion of conspiring to abduct a number of identified children who are currently in the care of the local authority.
“The four people arrested are a husband and wife aged 43 years and 36 years respectively from Grantham, a female aged 35 years from Grantham and a 43-year-old man from Grantham. The four are currently in custody at Grantham Police Station where they will be interviewed.”
DS Claire Hammond said: “The children concerned are related to a number of the people in custody; they are unharmed and remain in the care of the local authority who we are working closely with on this investigation.”
In comments to Portuguese newspaper Público, the State Secretary for Communities José Cesário said: “Even though British law is being carried out”, the case is becoming in need of “an attentive and meticulous legal analysis.”
Only then will Portugal decide if it should “take action with the British authorities.”
And, he added, “according to what we know of the case, the reasons that the Family Court invoked are not very solid.”
The five children were taken by social services from the family home on 23 April; the eldest boy and seven-year-old girl are living with separate families but in the same town, in Skegness. The eldest girl, who is 12, is living with a foster family in Stanford with the two youngest children who have been put up for adoption.
Their mother, Carla Pedro, says she is authorised to see them for an hour, once every two months.
Speaking to Portuguese newspaper Público, Carla Pedro says that when she does see her children “they cry and say they want to come home.”
Mrs. Pedro claims her children were taken from her and her husband due to “a future risk of emotional damage.”
“Smacking children is not allowed in the UK but we never smacked them. We punished them. Either way, my son later said that he had lied when he accused his father of hitting him” because days earlier the couple had grounded the teen after a phone call from the school headmaster because of his bad behaviour.
A blog page (www.pedrofamily.wordpress.com) set up to fight the Pedro’s corner by a representative for the family accuses Lincoln County Council of having “snatched” the five children without paperwork.
Mrs. Pedro also maintains the children were taken from their home without any formal paperwork.
The family is being represented by Sabine Kurjo McNeill, who claims to work for the voluntary public interest advocacy association McKenzie Friends, which assists a litigant in person in a common law court.
Ms. McNeill has posted extensively about the case on the Pedro Family blog. A post from earlier today seemed to confirm it was in fact Mrs. and Mr. Pedro who had been arrested.
“Phone call from Grantham Police Station at 8.51am: the Pedros are arrested for abducting their four children”, she wrote.
Ms. McNeill also offered to represent the Pedros following their arrest.
McKenzie Friends do not need to be legally qualified; litigants in person are entitled to have assistance, lay or professional, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
As a result of the case a petition was created – the ‘Abolish Adoptions without Parental Consent’ petition, which gathered 3,397 signatures – and was handed to European Parliament in Brussels earlier this week, on Wednesday 19 March, along with around a dozen similar complaints from families of various nationalities.
According to the Pedro Family blog page, the couple moved to the UK from Portugal with their then two children in 2003 after José lost his job as forklift driver due to the general economic downturn. In Grantham, he had a job as a driver but later became unemployed.
A spokesperson for child services at Lincolnshire County Council told The Portugal News that he was aware of the case but due to confidentiality restrictions he could not give details nor comment on individual cases.

This is a guest post from Ralph Faggotter (also known as fingolfin) .
This is a case study in which you are invited to answer the question, вЂњWhat did the Easter Islander who cut down the last palm tree say while he was doing it?вЂќ
For a several years, I have been intrigued by this question which Jared Diamond asks us to consider in his book вЂCollapseвЂ™.
In fact, the question can be asked more broadly: вЂњWhat were the thought processes and discussions amongst the inhabitants of Easter Island leading up to the removal of the last remnants of forest?вЂќ This could be seen, perhaps, as a hypothetical exploration, rooted in a real historical event, of вЂњthe psychology of resource depletion denial.вЂќ
I canвЂ™t help feeling that this is highly relevant to us today where the world seems shrunk to the size of a small island in the vast ocean of space. How could the islanders so knowingly have destroyed the life-blood of their island and their own future? How do you imagine the Easter Islanders behaved in those last few years before the last tree was felled?

"When in doubt, carve a bigger stone head" - fleam
For some of the rationalisations, we probably donвЂ™t need to look any further than our local talkback radio, the proceedings of the Copenhagen convention or the comments section on any mainstream media opinion piece about Peak Oil or Climate Change, but there would certainly have been powerful idiosyncratic religious beliefs at play too.
Setting the Scene:
Easter Island is a small triangular island of 66 sq miles in the sub-tropical South East Pacific Ocean over 1000 miles from anywhere and consisting of 3 linked extinct volcanoes.
It was first settled by Polynesians who migrated there from the nearest Pacific Islands to the west, sometime between 400 AD and 900 AD.
When they arrived bringing their traditional Polynesian vegetables the island was covered in a variety of large and smaller species of trees and in particular a very large species of palm tree with edible nuts and a wide girth, seals and many species of sea birds which nested there free from predators (incidentally rats which played an important role in the deforestation by eating seeds and nuts).
There were no permanent creeks and the soil and climate were relatively unfavourable compared with many other Pacific Islands for a number of reasons, but at first it must have seemed wonderfully bountiful.
The population grew and 12 tribes became established, with the island divided up like a pizza in the traditional Polynesian way. Most significantly, there was no one supreme chief--instead each tribe vied for status with one other. For the most part, this was probably fairly harmonious with considerable cooperation between the tribes probably mediated by a counsel of the chiefs of the 12 tribes such as we see elsewhere but with intermittent power and territorial struggles (this absence of a single controlling chief may have played a big part in the disasters which followed).
The settlers brought with them their traditional Polynesian religious beliefs regarding deification of ancestors transmogrified into gods of fertility and bounty personified in the shape of stone statues--carved, transported and placed on impressive stone platforms near the beach around the coast in each tribeвЂ™s territory. Elsewhere in Polynesia though, the statues tend to be small. Presumably, as the statues represented the power of the chiefs and their link to the supernatural and hence the future prosperity of the tribe, there developed intense competition between the tribes to see who could have the most statues and the largest statues and hence the most prestige and glory. The key village of each tribe was located near to the beach and the statues were arranged in a row between the village and the sea. I had always imagined that they faced outwards towards the sea but recently learned that they actually faced inwards towards the village.
Nearly all of the statues came from one quarry of ideal stone near the middle of the island. The statues had to be carved out of the rock using harder stone tools then transported down to the coast and then somehow erected on the platforms. (The large reddish cylindrical hats which can be seen on some statues came from another quarry.)
This transportation was an extraordinary feat and could only be performed using vast numbers of wooden rollers, sledges and levers, not to mention the incredible number of man hours per statue. The capacity of the island to provide a relatively easy living (what we would call the EROEI) so as to free up so many workers for seemingly non-productive activity must have been considerable.
But over the centuries, this non-productive use of the forests, combined with increased need for timber due to population growth, would have gradually resulted in progressive deforestation, loss of habitat for a variety of edible plants, birds and animals, loss of protection from sun and wind, loss of fire wood and erosion of soil.
Natural reseeding would have been inhibited by a plentiful supply of seed-eating rats which had few natural enemies on the island (probably only humans and birds of prey).
The phenomenon of вЂcreeping normalcyвЂ™ may have prevented anyone from noticing this decline for a few centuries - especially as the early statues were comparatively small and would have consumed the forests at a relatively modest rate.
But as the forests shrunk in area and the annual percentage rate of depletion steadily increased, at some point, someone must have realised that the situation was not sustainable and said as much. The island is not that big and what was happening at one end would have been common knowledge at the other end.
By around the year 1600, the last tree was chopped down and there were no more until they were reintroduced by Europeans many years later.
Some time before the last tree was cut down- perhaps this was done in a moment of spite, desperation, anger or vengeance - the society collapsed into mass starvation, war and cannibalism.
What might have happened in the lead up?
One can imagine between 1400 and 1500, some of the people muttering about the loss of forest and predicting that вЂњ..at the current rate it will all be gone in a generation or two.вЂќ
How did the chiefs react to this prediction ? Did they have a вЂForest ChangeвЂ™ summit? Was it on the agenda of one of their regular meetings and at what percentage of depletion from the original virgin forest did this occur? 50%? 70%? 90%?
Where the first whistleblowers listened to or ridiculed or punished? Perhaps at first they were ridiculed as eccentrics then if they persisted. Perhaps they were seen as a genuine threat to the establishment and eaten as human sacrifice (with the priests getting first pick of the good bits) as was the order of the day. This would have kept the doomsters quiet for a while though many may have continued to secretly harbour fears for the long-term sustainability of the forest.
There would have been powerful forces opposed to the expression of such heretical ideas. The power of the chiefs, the priestly caste and the gods/ancestors was integrated both practically and theologically (as we see in most societies).
There is a kind of unassailable philosophy which says that the hereditary rights and powers of the chiefs are the manifestation on Earth of the Will of the Gods. The ancestors of the chiefs (i.e. dead chiefs) take on god-like powers. The role of the gods is to ensure the ongoing health, fertility and prosperity of the people and the ongoing bountifulness of the land and sea. The priests interpret вЂThe Will of the GodsвЂ™ which somehow always favours the centralisation of power with the chiefs and the priests.
The statue of the chief becomes one of the key physical manifestations of this power.
This all works very well with the people and the kingвЂ™s security service remaining loyal and willing to provide tithes of goods and services to the king and his retinue in return for their ongoing guaranteed prosperity.
But this kind of system can easily initiate a competitive positive feedback loop in which each chief attempts to outdo his rival chiefs in creating the biggest and the best statue in his own honour (the gods have confirmed in each case that this is their wish).
Unfortunately the gods can be fickle too and sometimes, in spite of all the standard observances, prayers, ritual, human sacrifices and statue building, the tribes will go through a bad patch in which the fish disappear, the sea birds donвЂ™t nest, the rain doesnвЂ™t arrive, pests or diseases damage the root crops or other mysterious and inexplicable bad things (like cyclones or tsunami) happen.
When this happens the loyalty of the people and their faith in the system can be sorely tested so that the chief will need to respond to the crisis in some way. One way is to accuse some already unpopular people of witchcraft, blasphemy, giving out bad vibes/negative energy etc to deliberately cause the bad weather events - in other words a scapegoat. These offenders might also coincidentally be the very persons who had been advocating the building of smaller statures in order to avoid cutting down so many trees.
Another response apart from ruthlessly suppressing all dissent is to logically argue that the gods must be displeased because the statues arenвЂ™t big enough and a nervous chief, worried about his shrinking powerbase will commission the production of an even bigger statue just to confirm his piety and majesty.
In spite of all this the Establishment themselves must at some point have started to notice the bleeding obvious, namely that the forest was nearly gone and that they would have to discuss how best to avoid losing the remaining bits of forest.
So what happened next? Why didnвЂ™t a workable plan emerge and get implemented? If it did what went wrong? Can we blame it all on tribalism and вЂThe Tragedy of the CommonsвЂ™? We know the final outcome, but what was the path to that outcome and are we treading that same path again?
It would have been wonderful to have had a written historical record of the details but in its absence, it what do you imagine happened?

Nicki Minaj denied ‘Pioneer’ Award by National Museum of African American History
The administrators of the National Museum of African American History has addresssed the claims making rounds that they honoured Nicki Minaj with the “Pioneer of Hip Hop” award.
The rumours stirred mixed reactions with many noting that the female rapper, even if she is the highest selling at the moment, does not deserve such award as there are true pioneers before her. And it is why the official Twitter handle of the museum has clarified that Nicki was only included in a collage showing the state of African African identity.
“To clarify, Nicki Minaj is not honored in our Cultural Expressions exhibition but is included in a video compilation exploring African American culture including style, identity, foodways & artistry,” the tweet said.

Bounty hunters are saddled with the responsibility of locating and apprehending members of the public or individuals who have skipped bail or those that have not met their bail requirement.
Bounty hunters work closely with bail bondsmen to ensure that offending persons who are trying to jeopardize their business or individuals who aren’t able to pay the bail bond posted on their behalf by bail bondsmen are tracked and brought to face justice.
To become a bounty hunter in the state of Connecticut, there are certain requirements that must be fulfilled. These requirements include;
- 1 Requirements for Intending Bounty Hunters
- 2 Starting a Career As A Bounty Hunter
- 3 Below are some of the steps involved in the process;
- 4 Submit for biometrics
- 5 Submit a fully filled application package
- 6 Attend the interview
- 7 Careers Related To Bounty Hunters
- 8 Receive license and uniform
Bounty hunting is a profession that is licensed and regulated. This means that not anyone can become a bounty hunter except they have met the requirements and have gone through the right training. The licensing for bounty hunters in the State of Connecticut is issued by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
Also known as Bail Enforcement Agents, BEA, bounty hunters are required by law to be citizens of the United States or naturalized US citizens. Added to this, such a person will be required to have a clean criminal record, one that is free from certain misdemeanor and felony convictions.
There are many steps in the process of becoming a bounty hunter or bail enforcement agent. You will be required to obtain several forms and go through different steps to achieve this dream.
Criminal justice training and firearms training
The state law requires that all bail enforcement agents undergo no less than 20 hours of approved criminal justice training as well as firearms training to be eligible to become a bounty hunter. The training must have also been completed not more than 5 years before the application date.
The firearms training is particularly mandatory for those who plan on carrying firearms while on the job. Those who wish to carry a firearm are also required by law to obtain a pistol permit.
Any person planning on becoming a bounty hunter will also be required to submit their biometric information including fingerprint to the appropriate and authorized office for processing. Copies of fingerprints can be submitted at the local police department or at the licensing office.
It is important to note that the applicant bears the cost of the fingerprint scanning.
Interested persons will be required to obtain the application form, fill and submit with a $200 application fee, a notarized Authorization of Personal Information form, a copy of the applicant’s drivers’ license, a copy of the applicant’s driving record for three years from the date of submission, high school diploma, college, or GED transcript, as well as two passport-style photographs.
The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection will also request four (4) reference letters sent directly to it by the applicant’s references.
A former military staff will be required to also submit the DD-214 form that clarifies the reason for their discharge from the force while a former policeman will be required to attach a discharge letter to the application.
The licensing body will carry out thorough background research on each applicant whose application is deemed correct and complete. Applicants who are considered are then requested to attend an interview.
The background check process can be lengthy and can take as much as 8-10 weeks for completion.
Bounty hunters are relied on by bail bond companies to help them catch defaulting clients or clients that have disappeared after taking bail bonds.
People who are interested in becoming bounty hunters but are unable to meet the eligibility criteria set by the licensing board can consider other career paths that are similar to bounty hunting. These career paths include
– Process servers
– Private investigation or private detective
Those who wish to know more can learn more about Connecticut Bail Bonds Group
Once the interview process has been passed and the body deems the applicant worthy of the license, the application will be approved. Following the approval, the Bail Enforcement Agent license is issued and the applicant can go ahead to obtain the uniform.
The uniform has “Bail Enforcement Agent” inscribed on the front and back part for easy identification. Once the license has been obtained, the Bounty hunter should note that they will be required to renew the license annually.

– Tickets are $7 Door
Anthony Aparo is a young singer/songwriter born and raised in south Georgia. He grew up in a musical home, learning and playing any instrument he could get his hands on. Since 2010, he has been writing and performing, putting out records and EP’s online. He is currently endeavoring on a new musical journey, incorporating intriguing and unusual organic and mechanic instruments into his traditional-folk-songwriter style. He plans on putting out an EP and possibly a full length within the next year.
Futo was created in March of 2012, the brainchild of Patrick Brick, its sole writer and musician. Originally producing folk songs, Brick sought to expand on his themes as well as his music, adopting finessed elements of electro-pop music in some songs, and with liberality in others. As Brick’s music progressed, it formed into an ensemble of one guitar, two keyboards, a drum machine, and a laptop, all played and controlled by Brick. This stripping down of traditional elements gave Brick a greater platform to express the more visceral feelings behind love and desire, his girlfriend, and the possibilities of human relations altogether. It did not make for a minimalist sound, however, as many viewers of his live shows would attest, Brick has consistently produced music with intensity, despite what melancholy threads are also heard.

Boyfriend Enlists Help of Florida Cops to Propose During Traffic Stop
“Oh my god," the woman said, clearly at a loss for words.
Marriage license and registration, ma'am.
A Miami woman pulled over by Miami Beach cops was shocked to learn the traffic stop was a ploy for her boyfriend to pop the question.
She and her boyfriend, Kenneth, both stepped out of the car as they were stopped by the officers, but amid the sirens and flashing lights, Kenneth dropped down to one knee, and pulled out a ring.
“Oh my god, you’re crazy," she said. "In this situation I don’t even know what to say,” she could be heard saying in the video the police department posted to Twitter.
The traffic stop was orchestrated by Sgt. Jeff Motola and Officer Christina O’Neil, who were happy to step in when Kenneth approached the police department, asking them for help planning his proposal.
“Is there anything you want to say?” Motola could be heard asking in the video, before Kenneth presented the ring.
After a little confusion, his girlfriend finally said yes.

Transcript for: Daily Market Update – Grain Futures – 8/4/2017
Hello Traders, I am Stephen Davis, Senior Market Strategist RJO Futures. Friday morning here to talk to you about the grain markets today.
So we’re still continuing to see corn pollinate, something that’s really going to help corn here is after pollination is cool temperatures. Really helps the yield on corn. This morning on my commute in from my beautiful home in the suburbs here in Chicago, its 57 degrees, very comfortable temperatures here this morning. As the weather looks out into the 10 day forecast, we do have cooler temperatures. We still need a good soaking rain. In parts of these corn belts in the past they haven’t been soaking rains. The clouds have been moving around this summer and the rain just hasn’t seemed to be falling. So we still need that but cooler temperatures, and corn is still pollinating, it looks pretty good going forward. Our first chart is corn you can see it really in good support. So I’d be careful about being short corn. Next week, August 10th, is the August crop report. This is a very high risk report. We’ll talk about that next Friday.
These crop conditions every Monday night, they’re like many crop reports. I just mentioned, we have a high risk report August 10th but these crop reports here, the end of July and into August, they come out on Monday nights. This past Monday here, crop conditions on soybeans improved an excellent 2-3 percentage points. Surprised all the analysts. And then Tuesday morning soybeans are 35 cents lower. That’s a lot. Here’s our next chart on soybeans. Remember how a couple weeks ago I had this same chart up here, now we’ve gone down and filled this gap in soybeans. This is what the markets do. I think we can rally from here on the soybeans and let’s see if I’m right on this, and when I’m right. But this chart is textbook. Gap higher, now we’re back down and filled that gap. We’re a little bit higher this morning on corn and beans, we’ll see what they do going forward. Demand is very stout for soybeans. Yesterday export sales, old crop soybeans just stellar. Continue to be very impressive. With all the soybeans that Brazil has, we’re still selling US soybeans. That’s a good story, I think it’s going to continue.
Our next chart of wheat, you can see we’re down in very good support. I’d be careful about being short wheat in here as well. Spring wheat harvest has started and it’s about 10 percent complete. A lot of times when harvest gets 50 percent complete, the green light goes on to buy and markets rally. We’ll talk about that on corn and beans here going forward too. Sunday night weather, going to be really important. All of a sudden we have cool temperatures here in the corn belt, not extreme heat like we had a few weeks ago, and that’s good for the crops. Everybody have an excellent weekend!

D’Angel targets US$200,000 from charity concert
As the effect of the COVID-19 continues to settle in, many Jamaicans have joined the ranks of the unemployed, with little to nothing in their storage baskets. Basic needs are being denied as many simply cannot afford to put food on their tables.
It is with this in mind that many entertainers and social-media influencers have been using their various platforms to reach out to those most in need. Adding to the pool of persons undertaking philanthropic efforts is the Lady of Dancehall, D'Angel.
The Stronger singer will be hosting a COVID charity relief concert, which is set for Friday, May 1. She said it will see performances from Beenie Man, G Whizz, Singing Melody, and more. It will be an online streaming event hosted by comedian Trippple X, with live music from DJ RichRocc.
D'Angel said that when she reached out to the artistes to participate in the concert, they were all excited to get on board. She is hoping that the concert will raise US$200,000 (approximately J$27.1 million) to purchase supplies that will be presented to the needy in the form of care packages.
Always giving back
"I have my Spread A Little Love foundation and we're always giving back in different ways when there is a need. We did a fundraiser back in December and we donated supplies to the Mustard Seed Children's Home. With COVID-19, a lot of folks were reaching out for help and so I decided to embark on a new initiative to offer assistance to these people," she said, pointing out that her son is the source of inspiration for her efforts.
"My son, Marco Dean, is my inspiration for this foundation. He has a heart of gold and loves to help the less unfortunate. Angel's foundation is all about spreading love, joy and kindness, and we need so much more of that these days. People have lost jobs, some can't feed their families, and if I can help to make things easier for a few more people, I'm going to do that," she explained.


The first investor commitments are from venture capital funds Vision+ and Aloitusrahasto Vera, along with angel investors Peter Vesterbacka and Kari Karvinen. Existing investors include Mårten Mickos, Paul Bragiel and former Reuters CEO Tom Glocer.
This is one of the first times in the Nordic region that the general public can invest with a venture capital fund with the same commercial terms. With this modern and digital approach, Transfluent, along with its investors, sets a standard for other fundraisers to follow.
Transfluent’s self-serving and extremely scalable platform has disrupted the way businesses use translation services. The platform was originally tailored for the rapid needs of social-media powered global business and comes with a powerful API that allows integration of translation services to virtually any platform. Today Transfluent’s human-powered and high-quality translations cover all types of content for more than 400+ different companies in a variety of industries. Some of the biggest customers include Cap Gemini, Pfizer, Pinterest, Tieto, Visma and Elisa.
Transfluent is especially strong in business translations, with a range of specialist translators catering to creative marketing translations to sensitive legal documents. Most of Transfluent’s current business comes from large enterprise customers, but the service is well suited for businesses of all sizes and types.
An interesting niche that Transfluent dominates in Finland is the country’s successful game development industry. There is a huge demand globally for game translations, particularly in East Asia and China, and Transfluent is exceptionally well positioned to attack the lucrative market.
“Our near term target is to become the largest translation company in Finland in the next 2-3 years. At the same time, we already have international customers and we are preparing to expand operations internationally. Our long term business goal is to be the world’s first translation company to have global annual revenues of over €1 billion,” Transfluent founder and CEO Jani Penttinen says.
Jari Tuovinen, Founder & Partner of Vision+ says, says, “Since most translation companies share the same professional translator resources, the key differentiator is the technology platform and the API connectivity for placing orders and managing translations. This is where Transfluent is miles ahead of the competition.”
Using the online interface, customers can submit material to be translated, follow progress in real time, send messages to the translators and access the history of their past translations. This can save up to weeks compared to traditional translation agencies.
The Transfluent API allows deep integration into the enterprise tools already in use. Examples of successful integrations include customer support systems and large ecommerce websites, where thousands of translation tasks may need to be handled daily.
“The business model works. For the past two years, Transfluent’s product revenue has been growing an average 8% month-to-month (2.5x annual increase) and the growth rate has recently been increasing. This is a very exciting and interesting story and we are happy to be part of it at Invesdor,” says Lasse Mäkelä, CEO of Invesdor.
Jani Penttinen says, “In fact, the combination of speed and quality is not only serving existing translation needs better, it is opening new markets where translation was previously not considered possible. Instead of hiring a customer service team who speaks dozens of languages, you can now have a team of English-speaking customer service agents responding to customers in virtually all the world’s languages.”
Globally, translation industry generated about €37 billion in 2016. The industry is growing at about 7% per year. The largest global translation companies, Lionbridge and Transperfect, command about 1% share of the total industry revenue.

How is climate the most important factor in soil formation explain giving two reason?
Climate: Temperature and moisture influence the speed of chemical reactions, which in turn help control how fast rocks weather and dead organisms decompose. Soils develop faster in warm, moist climates and slowest in cold or arid ones. Rainfall is one of the most important climate factors in soil formation.
How is climate the most important factor in?
The two most important factors in the climate of an area are temperature and precipitation. The yearly average temperature of the area is obviously important, but the yearly range in temperature is also important.
How does climate affect soil formation explain?
Climate indirectly affects soil formation through its influence on organisms as well. High temperatures and rainfall increase the degree of weathering and therefore the extent of soil development. Increase of rainfall increase organic matter content, decrease pH, increase leaching of basic ions, movement of clay etc.
How is climate the most important factor of soil formation?
Climate is the most important factor of soil formation because it controls the type of weathering of the parent rock arid availability of soil moisture for plants and micro-organisms.
What is the most important factor that determines Earth’s temperature Brainly?
Explanation: The Sun is the primary source of energy that influences any planet’s temperature, including Earth. The amount of energy received from the Sun is called insolation; the ratio reflected is called the albedo.
What are the two most important factors in temperature?
Things to remember
- The factors that affects temperature are altitude, latitude and distance from sea.
- The height measured from sea level is called altitude.
- When the latitude increases, the distant from the sun also increases, so the temperature gradually decreases.
What is the role of climate in soil formation class 8?
Climate influences soil composition because it determines the amount of water required for processes such as mineral weathering, mineral distribution, and the release of elements. Climate also affects the temperature of the soil, which influences the extent of chemical weathering.
What are the factors affecting soil formation and development How does each factor affect the other?
Soils are formed through the interaction of five major factors: time, climate, parent material, topography and relief, and organisms. The relative influence of each factor varies from place to place, but the combination of all five factors normally determines the kind of soil developing in any given place.

Pakistan's road freight truck platform Truck It In has closed a $13 million seed round, the largest for a logistics startup in the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan (MENAP).
The early-stage funding was jointly led by venture capital firms Global Founders Capital and Fatima Gobi Ventures.
The latest seed round brings the total raised capital to $17.5 million, which will support the Karachi-based startup's plans to transform Pakistan’s road freight industry. The round also saw participation from Wamda, Picus Capital, Millville, Zayn Capital, i2i Ventures, ADB Ventures, Cianna Capital, Reflect Ventures, and K3 Ventures, the company said in a statement.
Muhammad Sarmad Farooq, CEO of Truck It In, said: “This seed round comes at an opportune time, as the funds will be deployed to expand our business, driving hiring across all functions, focusing on engineers to help double down on product development and increase our digital penetration in the market."
Most of the VC funds that backed Truck It In believes that the startup can play a crucial role in helping SME truckers to streamline operations and compete on a more level playing field while keeping costs competitive and serving as a vital lifeline for Pakistan’s thriving economy.
Tito Costa, the partner at Global Founders Capital, said: “The team at Truck It In is transforming the logistics industry in Pakistan at an unprecedented pace.”
