Mayor Peduto linked to an article by @mattiekquinn about GOVERNMENT and the OPIOID crisis
My $.02:
Let other cities worry about testing WASTE WATER for daily spikes within neighborhoods of opioids -- as Pittsburgh has a problem testing and delivering TAP WATER, the clean stuff. First things first.
In the South Side we drink beer because it is know to be LEAD FREE. We use the water to wash away the piss on the sidewalks -- and that goes into the rivers.

Fwd: Wither the Democrats???
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: John H
From: John H
Attached are a couple of good articles from naked capitalism attempting to explain why the Democratic Party establishment is incapable of addressing the needs and desires of the American public. The second has a particularly interesting assessment of the current American political scene as it relates to why it is that the Democrats would rather lose elections than do the things a majority of the people want them to do – hint, it all centers around money, greed and power. The real problem is that, in the absence of a real Democratic Party alternative, the better organized (though still splintered) Republican right wing will continue to dominate the political landscape.

Fwd: Neoliberalism is opposed to people
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: John H
From: John H
Neoliberalism is a market centered ideology which is opposed to all government social programs focused on people, but supportive of government programs supportive of and for subsidizing corporations. It is not for 'free enterprise'. Rather it encourages and rewards monopoly power.

Fwd: Switching to electric cars. . . or not
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: John H
From: John H
All of those of you who believe that the adoption of electric vehicles will somehow save the environment and prevent further global warming, should give close attention to the two attached articles. The second also nicely explains why neoliberal capitalism can never operate in socially useful manner. I would add to the information in the articles that very few commentators mention the major secondary problem related to the switch to electric vehicles, that is the fragility of the nation's electrical grid; which, the last time I can recall seeing requires at least 3 trillion dollars to bring it up to reliably service near-term needs which do not include a massive switch to EVs.

Editorial
What have you dreamt of in your coaching philosophy?
Once upon a time, asking coaches about their coaching philosophy was probably akin to asking them if they ever asked for feedback from players or athletes: 'What do you mean?' Of course, every coach has a 'philosophy' – what else is their coaching practice based on? – even if they haven't given it much thought, or written it down. In this issue of NZ Coach Mag, the first link is to a Coaching Canada resource that provides a simple template for developing your coaching philosophy. The three steps relate to Purpose, Leadership Style, and Values. Even if you think you know where you stand on all these, I encourage you to spend a few minutes revisiting these steps and checking if you are really clear on what they mean to you. A couple of things to consider as you do this, the first about leadership 'style'. To begin, the resource talks in very old 'code' – democratic, lassiez fare, command and control. For me, the critical question isn't about which style you want to adopt but what leadership approach promotes autonomy, connection and competence (and confidence) in the people you are leading. The research and my personal practical knowledge (PPK) tell me that means being 'democratic' (this style eats the other styles for breakfast, lunch and dinner almost ALL THE TIME!). The trick is to work out what democratic looks like for you. By the way, 'Coaches are leaders' is one of the four core principles of Sport NZ's Community Coaching Strategy. Secondly, values. Words are just representations, they aren't the value. If you want respect to be one of your values (tip: work out the 3-4 key ones!) think carefully about what respect looks like, sounds like, feels like, when you are coaching a session, preparing for a game or event, talking with parents, and communicating with officials. Too often, as you will know from your own life experiences, it's much harder to live a value than to write it down. So, what's your coaching philosophy?
