Just gotten round to reading this very interesting @CentreforCities report on the export profile of Britain's cities.

centreforcities.org/wp-content/upl…

Some great infographics!
At a city level, finds very little relationship between high productivity and propensity to exports goods; more so between high productivity and propensity to export services):
(Note x-axis on goods exports chart. I didn't and spent a couple of minutes being quite confused.)

New paper by @JohnSpringford & @COdendahl looking at EU-wide productivity by region - poses tough questions for policy makers.

Also comes with an interactive map where I can see that my home region in Wales has similar productivity to ... Malta.

Northern Ireland is particularly interesting. Essentially Denmark (Belfast) surrounded by Greece, Cyprus, Slovenia and Malta.

Also 'fun' to compare the UK and France: when it comes to disparity between different regions. Difference in productivity between regions of the UK is stark, France is more constant.

My citizens receive British passports; I am not in the UK nor EU; I am in the EU's customs union, de facto single market for goods and VAT area. What's my name?
Some of you have got this right. Some of you have not.
The answer is the Isle of Man.

(While Jersey and Guernsey are in the EU’s customs union and de facto single market for goods, they’re not (de facto) in the EU’s VAT area.)

The baseline for what level of integration between EU and UK you need to avoid physical infrastructure and associated checks on NI/Ire border is outlined by the Northern Irish specific provisions within the backstop. (Effectively customs union and single market for goods.)
This is really basic Brexit stuff. That British politicians still don't understand this is concerning.
What this means for GB's relationship with the EU remains up for discussion. You could still have a looser relationship between GB and the EU, but it would require deeper, supplementary provisions for NI.

Would you believe me if I told you that most of the folks who commission evaluations of social programs have trouble getting people--including even their own colleagues!--to use them? Well, it's true. And we need to talk about it. 1/
In 2015, @Eval_Innovation and @CEPData surveyed evaluation and program executives at 127 US and Canadian foundations with $10m+ in annual giving. The result was the report "Benchmarking Foundation Evaluation Practices," available for download here: evaluationinnovation.org/wp-content/upl… 2/
There's a lot of interesting information in the document, but for me the most striking page is the one addressing the challenges respondents have encountered in their foundations' evaluation efforts: evaluationinnovation.org/wp-content/upl… 3/

1. Today's fiasco at the extremist Federal Court of Appeal shows how cultural Marxism has invaded the highest courts in Canada. It's not justice anymore; it's politics. Let me ask some very simple questions. Here's the full ruling: decisions.fca-caf.gc.ca/fca-caf/decisi…
2. As you can see, several of the plaintiffs claim to represent "all members" of their Indian band. Do you think they actually canvassed "all members" of their bands? Or any of them? It's racist to assume all members of an Indian band agree with the chief and oppose oilsands.
3. There are 600 Indian bands in Canada. Most are tiny, like the Coldwater Band. They have 344 people on reserve, far from Vancouver. That's 70 families. I'm sure they're nice people. But it's undemocratic to give them a national veto as happened today. coldwaterband.com/community/demo…

Ive wanted to do an assessment of the document that @JFREJNYC put out on anti-Semitism a few months ago but I hadn't had the chance to read it in its entirety. I recently finally got to it and want to share some of my thoughts with you.
For context, it's important to note that @JFREJNYC is one of the few organizations Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour have deemed kosher enough to work with -- in contrast to the @ADL_National one of the largest and oldest civil rights organizations in the country.
Here's a link to the document in full. I highly recommend reading it in its entirety as it is a necessary launching pad for discussion. jfrej.org/wp-content/upl…
