look into H. R. 347

There are a great deal of horrific news snippets that I've thought about linking 2 today,

as this platform has been overdue for an update.. Though I think it would be more productive to combine ink and emotions with actual pen and paper regarding some of the lives lost most recently- be it to the war machine -or the supposed technological" failures - Far too many are taken far too soon- May the fallen rest in peace. 

Here are some positive notes - as it can often be difficult to  m a i n t a i n  optimism-

There are vast number of Veterans joining the water protectors soon; as the camp have been told they need to vacate on the 5th of December. Everyone needs to be paying as much attention to this as they can handle in the upcoming days -there are many different ways of spreading awareness and showing support if one cannot physically be present. There are free speech zones in place- there are private security companies infringing on their rights / communications - vehicles tucked in the waiting out of view and the "authorities" have already proven their disregard for humanity on more than one occasion // Just going to say that Martial Law has been enacted more times in North America than the cable news channels would like you to know// This is about so much more than than this one pipeline. And I don't mean to condescend and assume that you do not know this already- It's just hard to believe this is really what people are up against - we've regressed so intensely these last few decades - 

I guess I shouldn't be shocked ....

"Ni Una Menos called another nationwide march for 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Argentine women are empowered, enraged, and this growing movement is acting as a catalyst in achieving change. But legal provisions and political promises are not enough. Women are still dying. The backlash from men trying to hold on to their domination over women and the resistance to change by those in powerful positions cannot be downplayed."

Mouhcine was the fishmonger whose awful death in the back of a garbage collection truck was caught in mobile phone footage that subsequently spread across social media to ignite large demonstrations in Morocco. The protests were the largest to take place there since the 2011 Arab Spring, as thousands of mainly young people demanded an end to what they identify as a culture of official abuses and corruption that further increases the challenge of living in the country with the region’s lowest per-capita income.

The recent murder of a Guatemalan human rights defender has cast a sombre shadow over social movements, signaling the increasingly hostile and too often fatally dangerous environment faced by human rights workers in the Central American country, international organizations warned Wednesday.

"Jeremy Abraham Barrios Lima was a former student leader and human rights campaigner. As an Assistant to theExecutive Director of CALAS, he was in charge of managing sensitive information related to the high profile casesCALAS is litigating. The investigation into his murder should explore the possibility that he was killed in retaliationfor his legitimate human rights work."

"Much of the economic literature on the patent system is inherently built on an institutional foundation where elements of the patent granting and enforcement systems are subjected to close scrutiny. Nevertheless, there remains a dearth of rigorous economic literature seriously addressing the role of property rights and institutions in facilitating competition, innovation, and economic growth.

There is no doubt that more work remains to be done to rigorously incorporate the potential impact of antitrust and patent law on innovation and dynamic efficiency.

The fundamental challenge is identifying a sound analyticalframework to guide policymakers, courts, and agencies in designing policies thatachieve the desired goals of encouraging innovation and growth while satisfyingthe constraint that social gains outweigh the sum of administrative and errorcosts.       "

This issue brief describes the ways in which competition between firms can benefit consumers, workers, entrepreneurs, small businesses and the economy more generally, and also describes how these benefits can be lost when competition is impaired by firms’ actions or government policies. Several indicators suggest that competition may be decreasing in many economic sectors, including the decades-long decline in new business formation and increases in industry-specific measures of concentration. Recent data also show that returns may have risen for the most profitable firms. To the extent that profit rates exceed firms’ cost of capital— which may be suggested by the rising spread on the return to invested capital relative to Treasury bonds— they may reflect economic rents, which are returns to the factors of production in excess of what would be necessary to keep them in operation.

Such rents maydivert resources from consumers, distort investment andemployment decisions, and encourage firms to engage inwasteful rent-seeking activities.

Disenfranchised by Misinformation

This often singular diagnosis of migration blinkers us into neglecting the complexity of mixed migration and prevents us from making the most of the opportunities this multifocal approach represents.

The term “economic migrant” doesn’t even hold any standing in international law: it’s something we’ve concocted to appease our need to Other faceless migrants and shirk our responsibilities towards them. As Cole so aptly puts it in her article “Refugee or Economic Migrant? Join the Dots Theresa May”, these terms creates a “false choice” for those hoping to migrate to the UK, completely negating the fact that remittance transfers are the glue that stave off economic instability in many countries balancing on the precipice of insecurity. Lest we forget that once that balance tips, we’ll be welcoming fresh waves of human beings seeking better prospects/ fleeing chaos to our shores. In a anti-Fortress Europe rally organised by Another Europe is Possible earlier this year, James O’Nions spoke of how the destructive colonial past of now wealthier nations demands that we take responsibility for all migrants (whether driven by poverty or conflict) and indiscriminately defend their human rights.

CPJ recognizes nine female journalists jailed for their work

Violence against women journalists is sadly an important issue that is rarely openly confronted. There areat least four different ways in which violence against women journalists occurs. One is during the courseof reporting dangerous events such as wars and conflict zones where a woman journalist, much like amale journalist, simply finds herself in a dangerous context. A second form is sexual violence which,while meted out on occasion to male journalists, is preponderantly acted out against women. A third isstate-sponsored violence in the form of arbitrary arrest, imprisonment and torture of journalists, amongstwhom number many women. And a fourth form includes trolling and other forms of sexualised hate speechthat women encounter on the internet."
