When the old country, is a new country Original
Fidel Rivera's recently purchased two-story, white concrete house in a Merida suburb does not yet feel like a home. The walls lack much decoration, the furniture is limited and Fidel palpably pines for his family in North Carolina: "That was my everything, my family." Last October, as ICE raids escalated throughout the country, Fidel, who was born near Mexico City but lived for most of his adult life in Raleigh, self-deported.

Mild-to-wild plasticity of Earth’s upper mantle - Nature Geoscience
Abstract Flow of Earth’s upper mantle has long been considered to occur by slow, near-continuous creep. This behaviour is observed in classical high-temperature deformation experiments and is a fundamental component of geodynamic models.
Who Goes There? Dayl Wise
Who Goes There? Dayl Wise In 1969, when the U.S. Army tapped 19-year-old Dayl Wise to become a non-commissioned officer, he took flak from trainers for lacking a “command voice.” Couldn’t the lanky, soft-spoken kid from Westchester act like a tough guy, say John Wayne? Instead, Wise kept a voice that he knew by heart. “The toughest person I know […] Read Full Article »

Before we get our resources to market, we need to make sure those markets actually want them
Before we get our resources to market, we need to make sure those markets actually want them Canada was built on forestry, but if we want to ensure that that industry and the over 200,000 people employed in it can continue to thrive, things are going to have to change.

Culture in the Workplace: How important is it?
GA News Discussions around an organisation’s culture are not new. It has in fact been a topic for many businesses for some time. However, with so many organisations across many sectors struggling with recruitment, the idea of defining and creating culture has been brought to the fore. Staff retention, happiness and motivation have never been more important for businesses. What exactly is organisational culture?
How Haag-tied is QFT, really?

Text How_Haag_tied_QFT_Really.pdf Download (529kB) | Preview Abstract Haag's theorem cries out for explanation and critical assessment: it sounds the alarm that something is (perhaps) not right in one of the standard way of constructing interacting fields to be used in generating predictions for scattering experiments.
Life on the Edge By Those Who Live It
Going for Broke: Living on the Edge in the World’s Richest Country Haymarket Most of what we see and hear about economic hardship and inequity in America falls into two kinds of stories, regardless of whether the subject is approached from a point of view of reactionary disdain or liberal sympathy. The top-down overview blames the survivors, minimizes their agency, and flattens them into a single undifferentiated mass.
Going for Broke
A collection of compelling, hard-hitting first-person essays, poems, and photos that expose what our punitive social systems do to so many Americans. Going for Broke, edited by Alissa Quart, Executive Director of the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, and David Wallis, former Managing Director of EHRP, gives voice to a range of gifted writers for whom "economic precarity" is more than just another assignment.

Uncle Sam Needs To Give Us All Free Soap
Last month, hand sanitizer vanished. The double scourge of panic buying and price gouging cleaned out the clear liquid gold, among other products, from store shelves and online shops. It’s a dire situation, given that public health officials estimate that the virus will kill at least 100,000 Americans and potentially many, many more and good hand hygiene remains one of the few weapons in the virus-killing arsenal. Companies, large and small, have tried to fill the gaping void in the supply chain.

Taking Business Calls on the Train? Watch What You Say
PETER COCHRANE, a technology consultant, entrepreneur and blogger, usually unwinds on the train between his home in Ipswich, England, and London with coffee, cookies and a newspaper. But during a memorable trip in March 2006, neighboring passengers disturbed his relaxation rituals by behaving in a very un-British manner: They were loud. The English might sing at soccer stadiums, but they usually keep quiet on British Rail. Mr. Cochrane shot his noisy neighbors a cold stare. No luck.
Insight into the microphysics of antigorite deformation from spherical nanoindentation
1. Introduction Antigorite is one of the dominant hydrous phases in oceanic lithosphere associated with subduction zones, and its mechanical behaviour plays a key role in controlling the strength of the subduction interface (e.g. Reynard 2013). Experimental investigations of the rheology of antigorite have revealed a number of unique characteristics.
Will It Take Another 9/11 To Make Us Treat Each Other Decently Again?
For weeks after September 11, 2001, police cordoned off the West Side of Manhattan below 14th Street. You could bypass the barricades only if you lived in the area, as I do, or if you worked as a first responder or as a reporter. At a time when a giant plume of dark, acrid-smelling smoke hung over downtown, and “MISSING” flyers lined every chain-link fence near the now-defunct St. Vincent’s Hospital, my dense, often anonymous neighborhood suddenly felt small-town intimate.
More than you bargained for: the implied duty of good faith | Lexology
The recent High Court decision in Bates v. Post Office (No. 3) confirms a general principle that if a contract is a "relational" contract then it will include an implied obligation of good faith. Previously, there had been doubt whether such a general principle exists, as historically this was not an approach recognised by the English courts.

Opinion: Health care is expensive, so why not let people deduct it?
In late March, my right elbow suddenly ballooned up, becoming red, painful and hot to the touch. But what I assumed was tennis elbow proved to be cellulitis, a serious infection that required an IV of an expensive antibiotic dispensed during six hours in a Manhattan emergency room. The hospital billed my insurance company more than $10,000 per hour — $65,892.04, to be exact. I wasn’t even admitted for the night. Fortunately my insurer will significantly reduce my share of the charges.

End Discounts for Seniors, Give Savings to the Poor
It could never be the only solution to poverty, but it might help make a difference.
Perspective | Not all senior citizens need discounts. But all low-income people do.
To stretch her tight budget, Beth Cote Dekis, 61, who describes herself as a disabled woman struggling to save her house, tends to shop at retailers like Marshalls and T.J. Maxx, which offer senior discounts on certain days of the week. “I am low-income since my husband died of cancer,” Dekis said.
Charities Try Provocative Ads to Attract Attention
Relentless fund-raising from the growing ranks of nonprofit organizations — from 2001 to 2011, the number of registered nonprofit organizations rose by more than 21 percent to 1.58 million, according to the National Center for Charitable Statistics — is causing some donors to tune out or turn angry. Focus groups conducted by Public Agenda found that too-frequent mailings and aggressive telemarketing led to “a high level of annoyance” among donors.
Crystallographic Preferred Orientation of Olivine in Sheared Partially Molten Rocks: The Source of the “A-C Switch”
To investigate the mechanism that produces the crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO) characteristic of sheared partially molten rocks of mantle composition, we analyzed the microstructures of samples of olivine plus 7% basaltic melt deformed in torsion to shear strains as large as ? = 13.3. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) observations reveal a CPO characterized by a weak a-c girdle in the shear plane that develops by ? ? 4.
Size effects resolve discrepancies in 40 years of work on low-temperature plasticity in olivine
The strength of olivine at low temperatures and high stresses in Earth’s lithospheric mantle exerts a critical control on many geodynamic processes, including lithospheric flexure and the formation of plate boundaries. Unfortunately, laboratory-derived values of the strength of olivine at lithospheric conditions are highly variable and significantly disagree with those inferred from geophysical observations.
Could Al Franken Be The First Jewish President?
Ronald Reagan had it. But both his predecessor and his successor, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, respectively, didn’t. Bill Clinton had it in spades, so did George W. Bush and Barack Obama. And the current president decidedly lacks it. “It” is the political talent to deploy humor to make a point, connect with a voter on a rope line, charm the press at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, disarm a doubter or savage an opponent.

Don’t Blame ‘The Left’ For Scalise Shooting — But It’s A Wake-Up Call For Trump-Haters
I was in Washington D.C. yesterday, at a board meeting of a small non-profit which I chair. One of my colleagues was as present as he could be under the circumstances — he was close to one of the people who was shot a few miles away at the Republican congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia. So that’s the first lesson about yesterday’s violence. It hits close to home in unexpected ways.

Skittish Jewish Trump Voters Buoyed By Mideast Trip
The Forward’s editor-in-chief Jane Eisner recently posed a simple question for Jewish supporters of President Donald Trump: Had enough yet? I spoke with one of these Jewish Trump supporters, Yigal Marcus of Teaneck New Jersey, and his answer could be summed up as: Not just yet! The vast majority of Jewish supporters of Donald Trump, 24% of Jewish American voters, are Orthodox. When asked, many cited national security and Israel as the basis of their support for the Republican.
Al Franken Thinks This Republican Senator Will Stand Up To Trump
Following President Trump’s public kneecapping of James Comey and his subsequent tweeted threat that the ousted FBI director “better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations,” many Washington insiders are likening the growing scandal to Watergate faster than you can say Archibald Cox. The Atlantic’s James Fallows, for instance, argued Comey’s firing is looking “worse than Watergate … Worse for the overall national interest.
