ic In Which I Embark on My Life's Grandest Adventure ♥ ♥ A Day in Pictures By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Thu, 13 Sep 2018 02:16:00 +0000 We set out very early...and drove through the fog.The sun rose before us.I was wearing pretty great socks.Our destination was Quechee, Vermont.It was pretty foggy there too.Oh look! It's Kevin's sister, Heather!And something interesting in the background...What's that guy doing?Dude, weird basket.Did you know that when a hot air balloon is being inflated, you can walk inside it?In fact, it's like a stained-glass cathedral in there. (Without the patriarchy! ^_^)Reader, I married him.Happy siblings.Happy married-for-ten-minutes-so-far people.Of course, that's not all, right?But it was still awfully foggy...and hot air balloons aren't safe in fog...unless they're on a tether!We did a tethered ride, safely attached to the ground.Afterwards, our fabulous pilot, Chris Ritland, toasted us with the balloonist's blessing...I cut the amazing orange cake Heather had made...And as is traditional, the married couple fed wedding cake to their hot air balloon pilot.Of course, one thing was missing from our day. So, about two weeks later, we went back to Quechee...On an unfoggy, perfect-weather, untethered-ride day.And we flew.Trees look amazing from this distance, and at this speed.That dot in the river is the reflection of our balloon!When I told my friend Judy Blundell about our hot air balloon elopement, she said, "Marriage is an untethered ride."We're ready.♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Click on any picture above to embiggen. I especially recommend the panamoric shot from our flight.Thanks to our wonderful photographer, Em Pogozelski at Pogo Photo (and her dad! ^_^), for all the elopement location pictures. We recommend her enthusiastically!Thanks also to our hot air balloon pilot, Chris Ritland of Quechee Balloon Rides (and Tom and Diane!), who was so accommodating and made everything perfect for us. We can't recommend him highly enough. Tom took the pictures of us in the balloon on our untethered-ride day. Kevin and I took the pictures from the ride itself.Thanks also to Karenna Maraj, our local indie jeweler who made my jade engagement ring and our wedding rings. We adore our rings and recommend her wholeheartedly too.Thanks to you, too, for taking our adventure into your hearts, dear readers.

ic Arctic Prep By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Fri, 21 Sep 2018 21:04:00 +0000 Today I handed in a draft of a new book to my editor. Feels good.Next thing on my agenda: Prepping for my artist residency on a tall ship in the Arctic! I leave next week. Here's the situation:No problem, right? I'll pack this weekend and have a few days next week for the last-minute scramble as I suddenly remember a whole slew of things I need to do before I fly to Svalbard. While I'm aboard the ship, I won't be able to blog, but I'll be storing up pictures and stories to share for when I get back. And that's the news from here. Oh, also, this blog post is dedicated to the Cleveland Browns. :o) Full Article
ic The Arctic Circle: The Journey Begins! By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Sat, 03 Nov 2018 02:03:00 +0000 On a cold morning on the last day of September, we flew into Spitsbergen, the western-most island of the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. We were having rare sunny weather, so the pilot changed course a bit to give those of us on the right side of the plane a beautiful Svalbardian view. We landed in the town of Longyearbyen, which is one of the few permanently populated places in Svalbard.The moon you can see, big in that sky, was a permanent fixture for the first week of our journey. It never set, it just circled the sky, always low and big against the horizon. Then, with the new moon, it set -- and never came back again.Our time in Longyearbyen was brief, but I did manage to pop over to the library :o). The next morning, with our suitcases in hand and a stomach full of nerves, we went to the pier to board our new home, the Antigua.Personally, I thought she looked pretty small for 40+ people. And for two weeks on the Arctic Ocean. And for not puking the entire time. What was I thinking? I kept repeating to myself. How am I going to do this? Why did I think this was a good idea? Is it a bad sign that I already feel queasy? I'll be fine. I'll be fine. I'll be fine! I'm going to die! I open myself to this adventure, goddammit!(At least I'm not kitesurfing on a freezing cold day in the Arctic Ocean, like that bozo!) It was a rough few hours on the ship. I was anxious; I felt seasick. I kept crashing into things and spilling things. It was SO COLD, especially after the sun set, but once we were moving, I needed to stay out on deck in order to keep from puking. Then I puked anyway. It was not fun. I was scared. What if this was how I was going to feel for the next two weeks?I stumbled and bumbled down to my cabin, put my head on my rocking pillow, and took a long nap. When I woke up, around 10pm, I didn't know it at the time, but I woke to a new state of being. I never got sick on the trip again.That night, feeling world's better, I went to the kitchen and begged some food. A kind person warmed some up for me and I carried it out on deck, where I ate under the stars, surrounded by the noise of moving water. A bit later, I saw the northern lights for the first time in my life. I went on to see them so many times, on so many nights, that I lost count. I saw them from the deck of the Antigua, this beautiful ship that I grew to adore, and loved to call my home.I've decided to post pictures from my trip, divided into themes. I haven't chosen all my themes yet or gotten particularly organized. But over the next few weeks, come here to learn about a number of things, includingnew landscapes,new discoveries,new activities,new perspectives,and new friends.Stay tuned!

ic The Arctic Circle: A few landscapes to set the mood! By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 05 Nov 2018 02:59:00 +0000 In the coming weeks, I want to blog about a typical day on board; tell little stories of routines and big stories of adventures, in pictures; introduce you to some of the characters from my journey; familiarize you with the beautiful Antigua; and talk a little about my writing work on board.I want to start, though, with a simple series of landscape photos, just to give a sense of atmosphere. For two weeks, with the exception of one day when we docked at the research station in Ny-Ålesund, we were alone on both land and sea. At the beginning of our trip, on October 1, we had about 10 and a half hours of daylight. As the trip progressed, we began to lose daylight steeply, as much as 40 minutes per day, such that when we returned to Longyearbyen on October 15, we had about 6 and a half hours of daylight. Can you imagine such a change, over the course of two weeks?It made for some dramatic and moody skies.Notice, in these pictures, how often my camera would reach for the Antigua in the distance :o). While I took these pictures, I was cold, in a remote and vast place where wind and ice were the only sounds. Often I was on land, a Zodiac-ride away from the ship, for hours. The Antigua in the distance meant warmth and home.I'll start with the map of our route around the western and northwestern coast of Spitsbergen. I won't be identifying locations in this post -- forgive me, but it would add a couple of hours to this posting, and I don't have that tonight -- but I do want you to have a general idea of where we were. Please do click on the pictures to embiggen and also see them in higher resolution/better quality. These pictures are insufficient to express the range of what we saw -- but I will fill that out more in coming posts!Hopefully, if you embiggen this, you'll be able to make out our route, numbered along the black line. A day of still waters.One of many glaciers, glowing blue.Artists dotting the landscape.Sailing through sea ice in the north.The sun was always low.Ridges, glacier, ice, snow.Sunset.Color!Clouds creating a matching formation with the peaks below.Not much light, on one of the short days near the end of the trip.The Antigua is tiny in this picture, can you find her?More coming soon! :o) Full Article Arctic Circle travel
ic The Arctic Circle: Inside the Antigua By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Tue, 06 Nov 2018 22:45:00 +0000 You might be wondering what it was like to live inside a ship for two weeks as we explored western Spitsbergen. For a sense of our day-to-day inside lives, here are some pictures from inside the Antigua. Please keep in mind that it was HARD to take these particular shots, because all the spaces are small and strangely-shaped, no space on a ship is designed for easy photographing, and also, the ship is never, ever still. It's tricky to take in-focus pictures when the floor is moving!See the door in the middle of this picture, with the circular window? Let's step inside.First thing you encounter is the Very Narrow Corridor With Too Many Boots. In the picture below, it is way more tidy than normal. We didn't wear our outside shoes inside the Antigua, so every time you stepped in or out, you did the awkward and time-consuming boot-transition thing.To the right are teeny bathrooms and the door to the engine room; to the left is the entrance to the kitchen, shown below. I didn't want to go in there and take pictures, because people were working hard in there, making our delicious meals. So I took this weird snap from the doorway.Now let's walk straight ahead. To the left is the stairway down to our living quarters, but we're going straight on into what was the heart of the ship for me -- the lounge.This is where we ate our meals and had social time. (The ship was fully heated inside.) Some people tried to work here sometimes, but in reality there was no practical work space for artists on the ship. We made do.The lounge had a left table, a right table, and a higher, back table. The booth seats are so comfy, and were the scenes of many naps :o). Especially when the ship was moving so much that it was hard to keep upright. The lounge includes this teeny, beautiful bar, with a service window into the kitchen.The pole below is in fact one of the masts...but we knew it as our notice board :o).This is Janine climbing into a hole in the floor of the lounge, under some of the seats, to retrieve some of the food. Everything under your feet in a ship is a storage space, an outlet to the water system, or something!Our food was delicious, warm, and plentiful at every single meal. Good thing, because we were spending hours outside every day -- sometimes 8-10 hours -- in below-freezing temperatures, so we were burning a lot of calories and needed a LOT of fuel. Here's some birthday cake.Our chef, Piet, was a genius, and the kitchen staff beyond wonderful. No meal was ever repeated. We ate stews, pastas, foods of many cuisines, delectable desserts. Sometimes our guides would tell us to eat a good dinner, but not too much, because it would likely be rough later, and I would stuff myself full anyway, because it was too delicious not to :o).Here are the beautiful people who kept us so well fed.And now, ready to go downstairs?The stairs were really narrow, and in a moving ship, you quickly learned to cling to the banister. Welcome to our corridor, which I always found to be a little redrum, if you know what I mean.Sometimes you'd arrive in the corridor and the rug would be up, the floor open and a man sticking out. I think there were water pipes down there or something. I'm sorry I don't have a picture!My cabin, which I shared with my lovely roommate Dawn Jackson, was HUGE. Others had bunk beds in a veritable closet. We lucked out.We kept it very tidy, as you can see. My bed is on the left.In our defense re: the clutter, we were on the run practically every moment of every day (more about that in a later post). We did what we could :o). In the picture, below, the head is behind the wall with the blue coat. I didn't take a picture of it. It was a tiny room with a toilet and shower.Dawn could peek out through her porthole from her bed :o).The picture below was from a day when we were full sailing (no engine, just sails) and the water was sloshing all the way up to our portholes. This was NOT an easy picture to take -- the floor was moving so much and it was hard not to fall over! I tried to wait until we were in the very trough of a wave, then snap the picture in that instant of lull, before the ship jumped up again.So, that's pretty much our living space inside the ship. There are other interior spaces in the Antigua -- like the wheelhouse, for example, shown here from the outside...But that was the space of the crew, staff, and guides, in addition to the ship's most important passenger, Nemo...So I didn't take pictures in there. But I'll be telling you more about our crew and guides, and more about life on and off the Antigua...very soon! Full Article Arctic Circle travel
ic The Arctic Circle: A hike from Lloyds Hotel to Lilliehöökbreen By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Fri, 16 Nov 2018 00:30:00 +0000 Here is our trip log from Sunday, October 7:Sunday 07.10 – Day 7Lloyds Hotel – Lilliehöökbreen – North-3/4°C Celsius, almost no wind in the morning, clear sky, beautiful sunrise. More wind in the evening going from WNW 2, to N 2-3 and later NW 4.09:30 - Morning landing Lloyds hotel – Hike to Lilliehöökbreen.11:15 – Anchor up Lloyds Hotel.13:30 – Anchor down Lilliehöökbreen.14:30 – Hikers back on board (Piet still smiling).16:30 - Afternoon zodiac cruises Lilliehöökbreen. 19:00 - Going North.Our leader, Sarah Gerats, kept this log for us throughout the trip… And October 7 was one of my favorite days. I woke that morning and, as happened most mornings, came out on deck to a view I'd never seen before.If you take a close look at the middle of this picture — maybe click on it to make it bigger and more detailed — you might see an orange rectangle. This is a hut that's been decorated and painted orange. It's called Lloyds Hotel, and it is definitely the fanciest hut on Spitsbergen — though maybe more of a tourist destination then a destination for any anyone actually seeking shelter. You can read more about its history here.We climbed aboard the zodiacs and crossed onto land to visit it.I, for one, was less interested in the evidence of human activity inside the hut, and more interested in the COMPLETELY GINORMOUS polar bear prints outside the hut. They were fresh, for this was new snow.This sight — evidence of a polar bear (or three or four) recently shuffling through — was quite common on our journey.This time we got a special treat: evidence that it had lain down and rolled around :o)I think it's time to introduce you to our wonderful, kickass guides, who always knew how to read the prints in the snow. Emma, Sarah, Åshild, and Kristin were our guides and guards, our organizers, our friends, our helpers, and our protectors. Any time we went on land, they were there with rifles, ensuring our safety in the land of polar bears.They had so much to share about the landscape, the environment, the animals, the history. They were wonderful storytellers and guides! And of course, Nemo was very, um, helpful as well. :o)After exploring Lloyd's Hotel, we split into two groups. Some stayed put, working or enjoying the scenery, then returning to the ship. The rest of us set off on an 8km (5 mi) hike across the base of the fjord where we'd landed. See the little arrow I drew on the map below? That shows where we hiked, in this northwestern section of Spitsbergen.Click here to check this out on Google Maps and see more details about where we were.As we moved away from shore, we saw the Antigua sail off — abandoning us! Not really. The ship was circling the fjord to pick us up on the other side. Even knowing that, though, it was strange to see her go.We hiked through spectacular terrain. Click on any of these to make them bigger and more focused.The snow was pretty deep, but also very, very dry. It made for easier hiking than a snow-free terrain, for we were on a rocky moraine of loose stones much of the time. The snow evened out the terrain for us.The sun was low behind us for the entire hike. If you see the sun in a picture, I'm looking back.Our way was mostly flat, but every once in a while, we climbed a steep hill. The light was brilliant, everything white and blue! And lavender, pink, gray, if you looked closer.At one point, Nemo was sorely tempted by this duck, who taunted him as he tried to walk out onto the thin ice and grab it. Sarah, Nemo's person, could not get him to desist. So we all took a little break and enjoyed resting, eating snacks, and watching the show :o). (The duck was fine. The duck was in charge the whole time really.)Our path skirted the frozen edges of two beautiful lakes, this one crossed with the tracks of an Arctic fox.I included the picture below because in the foreground, you can see what I mean about the terrain of loose stones. It's exactly the same backdrop as above, actually, but I'm standing at a higher point, so the sun is more visible.Near the end of our hike, we climbed a steep ridge…And there below us was another fjord, a glacier, and, waiting for us, the Antigua. Such a beautiful sight on a freezing day, after a long walk. I stood and stared, breathing fresh air, for a long time. As I watched, I heard her anchor fall — a familiar metallic clicking that was SO much louder on our ridge, echoing around the fjord, than it ever was from inside the ship. And that was our hike from Lloyds Hotel to Lilliehöökbreen! If you're curious about the place in the log where it says "Piet still smiling," well, you may remember from a previous post that Piet was our chef. And we got home very late for lunch :o). But he fed us a delicious feast anyway.I'll post another adventure soon! Maybe those zodiac cruises mentioned in the log, or maybe an explanation of some of our exciting activities on deck.

ic Novel-Writing in the Arctic By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 22:38:00 +0000 My title is disingenuous, because I didn't do any novel-writing in the Arctic. However, I thought and plotted and observed and learned with intensity, such that in the two months since my return, I've written an entire third of the new novel that was my primary Arctic project. This writing pace is unheard of for me. It's partly because I've had some clearheadedness lately, unrelated to the Arctic. But it's also largely because I got so much hands-on experience on the ship!Since most of my work in the Arctic was happening in my head and my heart, it's not going to be possible to show the entire process in pictures. But I can share some of the experiences that helped me make progress.My novel takes place partly on a tall ship, where my main character is learning a lot about the work the sailors are doing.Therefore, it helped me to learn to haul lines, and to watch others do so. (On a ship, ropes are called lines. It takes 60-ish lines to operate the rigging on the Antigua!)(The Antigua is a barquentine. That's a tall ship with three or more masts that has square sails on its foremast and fore-and-aft rigged sails [sails that stretch from front to back] on its other masts. This sail configuration gives it power and maneuverability, but also makes it possible to be operated by a small crew.)On the occasions when we could turn the engine off and just sail... I was SO HAPPY. These were my favorite moments of the entire trip, which is saying an awful lot. It was silent, and graceful, and our movement felt so good in the water. It taught me a lot about my character and how she feels, too. The main character in my novel spends time lying inside a rowboat on deck, watching the sailors raise and lower the sails. So I did the same, curling up in one of the Zodiacs :o).Photo by Dawn Jackson.I did a lot of thinking and observing from that position. The masts swung back and forth above me as we moved through the waves and I got a lot of ideas! I also had the best views.My main character also climbs the mast. So... in the picture below, our captain, Mario, gives me help and support as I make my first attempt.John Hirsch took this picture, and the further-back one below, because I shoved my iPhone at him before I started :o)Barbara Liles took this picture. As I climbed, the ship was moving through ice.I'm on the right in this photo. Climbing was a thrill. Each time I tried it, I got up further. I knew it was safe, because I always wore a halter, but the ship was moving a lot and it was very, very cold up there, and sometimes slippery... and the places where your hands and feet went were not always intuitive... I learned a lot about my character's experience from that experience.By the way, it's probably time for me to introduce our sailing crew -- our captain, Mario; first mate, Marijn, and second mate, Annet! I'll have more to say about them in future blog posts. They kept us safe, taught us so much, and were so patient whenever we "helped"! That's it for today's Arctic chapter, but there's more to come. Hope you're all having a cozy December. :o) Full Article Antigua Arctic Circle tall ships writing

ic The Arctic Circle: Arctic Critters By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Sat, 07 Sep 2019 16:40:00 +0000 Nemo was the most important critter on our Arctic journey aboard the Antigua, of course. Here, he's closely tracking our progress through the Arctic seas.Svalbard reindeer. In this picture, our guide, Kristin, is keeping very quiet and still, being careful not to spook them. In case anyone is getting the wrong idea, the rifle on her back is solely for the purpose of protecting us artists from polar bears.This little seal was so curious about our Zodiac and kept swimming around us!The white crescents in this picture are the backs of beluga whales.We watched these walruses for a long time… And some of them slipped into the water to get a better look at us!Oh hi.Does lichen count as a critter? :o)What about fossil imprints of long-gone critters?More reindeer.Good camouflage!Here is something we encountered over and over and over again. Tracks of polar bears who'd passed through recently. The prints were shockingly gigantic.It's tiring work being in charge.We also saw a lot of animals that were impossible to photograph, in particular, an Arctic fox. The animal sightings were frequent and always special. Most of the time, I tried to take a few pictures, but then I reminded myself to put my camera down and enjoy. Consequently, this is only a hint of what we saw, but I hope it gives a nice sense of things.If you're coming late to my report from my journey aboard a tall ship in the Arctic Circle last fall and want to see more, just search for "Arctic Circle" in the search box on my blog!

ic In Which a Zebra Unicorn Is Creepier Than Anticipated! By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Wed, 06 Nov 2019 20:45:00 +0000 This year's Halloween costume involved less preparation than usual. I'll be honest, I'm still recovering from the year I dressed up as a library. My goal this year was something creative yet simple to assemble.I glitter-striped a unicorn horn and made myself some ears...Then attached them to a Cruella deVil style black-and-white wig. I figured a zebra unicorn wears something sparkly and striped, right? Nothing odd about this dress... *cough*And this is when things got intense. The plan all along was to study the way stripes sit on a zebra's face, then paint that pattern on my own face to create something magical. But it turned out SO CREEPY! Creepy's okay with me, though.Click on any picture to embiggen/get a more focused view.Till next year! :o) Full Article costumes Halloween zebra unicorn
ic In Which the Author Knits a Winter Blanket By kristincashore.blogspot.com Published On :: Thu, 14 Nov 2019 01:23:00 +0000 About a year ago, I finished knitting a blanket that was a gift for someone else and realized I missed its pieces piled up in my lap. I decided it was time to knit a blanket for myself :o). Wanting something cheerful for the cold, dark months, I chose this free pattern at Lion Brand.... and got started.First I collected my colors. This blanket is knitted in three parts: the reds and oranges in one big triangular corner; the yellows and greens in a stripe across the center; and the blues and purples in another triangular corner.The pieces are worked in intarsia colorwork. This means that most of the time, I was actively knitting with more than one color, which I admit can become a bit of a tangled headache. Below, I'm knitting the center stripe in three different greens and one yellow, and I have all four colors attached to my needle at the same time.When I went to a writing retreat last February, half my suitcase was full of my blanket :o) Below, I've knitted the red/orange triangle and the yellow/green center strip, and am just starting the purple/blue triangle. All five of those purplish balls of yarn are attached to my needle as I work. Constant tangles! But pretty colors. I had a bit of a hiccup at this point in the process, because after working for MONTHS, I discovered that I'd knitted my purple/blue corner piece much, more more tightly than my red/orange corner piece -- which meant it was far too small to fit with the other blanket pieces. Why did I do that? Because I was in the middle of a really difficult revision with a stressful deadline. When I'm relaxed, I knit loosely. When I'm stressed, I knit tightly. SIGH. I had to take it all out and start again. I was so depressed about this that I put the whole project aside for the entire summer!Then, this fall, I started up again. Below, you can see the three completed pieces lined up on the floor. I attached them together, then, on the advice of several sages, chose yellow as the border color. All done!I"m ready for winter.

ic Our commitment to Asia Pacific’s coronavirus response By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Wed, 06 May 2020 03:00:00 +0000 The COVID-19 pandemic began spreading across Asia Pacific in January, affecting millions of people directly—and billions more through restrictions on the way we live and work and the impact on the regional economy. Throughout the region, we’ve seen people and businesses adapt with resilience, determination and ingenuity, including adopting and developing new technologies. Today, some parts of Asia Pacific are beginning to ease social distancing measures and restrictions on commerce—but we’re still many months away from anything like a return to normal. Google’s focus in Asia Pacific has been on three priorities: contributing to the immediate health response, helping people learn and work from home and supporting the small businesses most affected. We’ll continue to do all we can to help every part of the region get through, and we’re committed to being part of the economic recovery, so Asia Pacific can ultimately emerge stronger. Contributing to the health responseSince January, we’ve worked to share reliable information on Google Search and YouTube, support public health campaigns, inform health officials and curb misinformation. We’ve extended these global efforts with more targeted local initiatives around the region. In India, we’re helping female internet “saathis” (or trainers) share authoritative health advice with their networks in rural villages. In Korea, the Google News Initiative is offering weekly sessions training journalists on how to identify misinformation. In Japan, YouTube creator Hikakin interviewed the Governor of Tokyo to raise awareness of social distancing measures among his youth audience. We’re also helping Asia Pacific governments and institutions make the most of our tools to fight the virus directly. The Philippines’ government is centralizing health communications using an AI system powered by Google Cloud, Taiwan’s Digital Minister Audrey Tang has used Google APIs to create an app that tracks face-mask inventories, and we’ve worked with Singaporean nonprofit Better.sg to create translation tools for medical professionals caring for migrant workers. We started showing the locations of COVID-19 test centers on Google Maps, Search and Assistant in Indonesia, before extending the feature to other countries around the world, including India, Korea and the Philippines.Alongside responding to the health crisis, we know we need to protect and support people who might be left isolated or vulnerable. Our team in India has helped local governments share the location of night and food shelters on Google Maps, while Southern Cross Care (SA, NT & VIC) Inc in Australia is using Meet to help aged care residents stay in touch with their families—two examples of how technology can help. Helping people work and learn from homeIn many parts of Asia Pacific, people have been working and learning from home for months. Wherever possible, we’re adapting our global tools and resources to local needs—like giving 1.8 million students in the Jakarta region access to our G Suite for Education tools. We’ve launched local versions of our Teach from Home resource center—a partnership with UNESCO—across 13 Asia Pacific countries.As teachers and students adjust, we’re seeing new approaches across the region. In Korea, public broadcaster EBS and the Ministry of Education are using YouTube to live-stream daily classes. In Malaysia, Google’s daily webinars for teachershave received more than 250,000 views. And in Australia, the inspirational Eddie Woo—a champion of teaching via YouTube—is sharing his experience and advice to help fellow teachers take their lessons online. Learners from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to have their schooling disrupted and their progress held back—so as part of Google.org’s $10 million Distance Learning Fund, we’re extending a $1 million grant to INCO. This funding will support nonprofits in mainland China, Indonesia, Hong Kong and the Philippines as they help underprivileged students with access to home learning. Supporting small businesses and helping local economies recoverCOVID-19 has put many business owners under intense financial pressure, which is why we’re giving Asia Pacific businesses ad credits and other forms of support as part of a US$150 million commitment to the region. We want to make it as easy as possible for businesses to adopt new ways of working and manage through uncertainty—creating a dedicated website for Australian and New Zealand businesses, for example, or moving to an online format for Grow with Google skills courses like Indonesia’s Gapura Digital. We’re helping small businesses move their sales online and contribute to the recovery—like Yamaya, a Japanese sock manufacturer which is providing materials to help people make their own masks. And we’re working closely with nonprofits to help businesses most at risk from the economic downturn, including providing Google.org funding to help Youth Business International assist vulnerable small businesses and The Asia Foundation advance digital literacy in marginalized communities in Southeast Asia. Small businesses are an integral part of their communities, but they’re equally critical to economic growth, accounting for the vast majority of all businesses and up to 50 percent of GDP in most Asia Pacific countries. Just in the past few weeks, we’ve launched new programs supporting digital skills in Taiwan, developers in Korea and startups in Japan—and we’ll begin more initiatives like these in the coming months. Economic recovery will start locally and we want to be there to help.In this global pandemic, everyone has a part to play. As Asia Pacific confronts the effects of COVID-19, we will continue to stand by the region’s people, business and communities for as long as it takes, and help rebuild when the time is right.

ic Methodological Individualism By plato.stanford.edu Published On :: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 16:18:28 -0800 [Revised entry by Joseph Heath on April 27, 2020. Changes to: Main text, Bibliography] This doctrine was introduced as a methodological precept for the social sciences by Max Weber, most importantly in the first chapter of Economy and Society (1922). It amounts to the claim that social phenomena must be explained by showing how they result from individual actions, which in turn must be explained through reference to the intentional states that motivate the individual actors. It involves, in other words, a commitment to the primacy of... Full Article

ic International Distributive Justice By plato.stanford.edu Published On :: Mon, 04 May 2020 16:47:27 -0800 [Revised entry by Michael Blake and Patrick Taylor Smith on May 4, 2020. Changes to: Main text, Bibliography] International distributive justice has, in the past several decades, become a prominent topic within political philosophy. Philosophers have, of course, long been concerned with wealth and poverty, and with how economic inequalities between persons might be justified. They have, however, tended to focus only upon inequalities between inhabitants of the same state. In recent years, though, a sustained philosophical dialogue has emerged on how these ideas might be applied to the relationships and institutions holding at the global level.... Full Article
ic A Priori Justification and Knowledge By plato.stanford.edu Published On :: Wed, 06 May 2020 19:00:08 -0800 [Revised entry by Bruce Russell on May 6, 2020. Changes to: Main text, Bibliography] A priori justification is a type of epistemic justification that is, in some sense, independent of experience. Gettier examples have led most philosophers to think that having a justified true belief is not sufficient for knowledge (see Section 4.4, below, and the examples there), but many still believe that it is necessary. In this entry, it will be assumed, for the most part, that even though justification is not sufficient for knowledge it is necessary and that... Full Article

His new book, "Capital and Ideology," has been described as a manifesto for political change. Full Article

ic Caravan for Life: Protesters in Puerto Rico Demand More Tests & Resources to Combat the Coronavirus By www.democracynow.org Published On :: Fri, 01 May 2020 08:54:56 -0400 On Thursday in Puerto Rico, activists in dozens of cars held a "Caravan Por La Vida," or "Caravan for Life," through San Juan to demand the government provide more COVID-19 tests and sufficient resources for people to stay at home during the pandemic. At least 92 people have died from COVID-19 in Puerto Rico, and last week the island was reporting a testing rate lower than any U.S. state, at an abysmal average of 15 tests a day for every 100,000 people. No one in Puerto Rico has received $1,200 checks from the government, according to San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz. Police stopped the caravan and said their sound trucks were illegal. When organizer Giovanni Roberto demanded that police describe the laws they were breaking, he was arrested. Roberto was released later in the night, and his charges of obstruction of justice were dropped. We hear voices from the protest. Special thanks to _Democracy Now!_ correspondent Juan Carlos Dávila.
