“Johnson was being modest about something that was truly tiny, but everyone probably assumed he was being modest about a great thing,” Mayer says. George McGovern, D-South Dakota-typically spoke modestly about their exploits. Kennedy, who survived having his Navy patrol boat ripped in half by a Japanese destroyer, and bomber pilot Sen. As Mayer notes, politicians who were World War II combat heroes-such as President John F. In a sense, Johnson didn’t have to, because voters filled in the blanks. But Woods, who spent a decade researching his Johnson biography, never found any evidence that Johnson ever actually talked about the incident, either in public or private. After the war, the Silver Star became a part of his qualifications when he won election to the Senate in 1948. Instead, after FDR ordered that Congress members in the armed forces return to their legislative duties, Johnson went back to Washington and used his military experience-thin as it was-to lend credibility to his calls for more resources for the Pacific forces. “Charles Marsh, who was Johnson’s political guru, told him that he was destined to be a major political force, and that he owed it to his country and his career not to give the medal back,” Woods explains. Woods says that Johnson wrote-but never sent-a letter saying that he didn’t deserve the medal. Johnson, who had a genuine affection and respect for the servicemen who faced danger on a regular basis, was embarrassed at first by the honor. Johnson gamely went back into the plane to offer to assist the gunner, but mostly watched the terrifying event through the B-26’s Plexiglas nose. Meanwhile, an electrical generator for one of the Heckling Hare’s two engines failed, forcing Greer to jettison his load of bombs and return to the base, as the Japanese raked the plane with bullets. The Wabash Cannonball was hit and caught fire, and crashed into the water, killing everyone on board. As the Wabash Cannonball and the Heckling Hare approached the Japanese base, they found scores of Japanese Zeros already attacking the previous wave of U.S. Greer, pilot of another B-26, the Heckling Hare. The future president shrugged and went over to Lt. As Woods writes, Stevens grinned and told Johnson to find another plane. Stevens, one of his colleagues on the fact-finding mission. When he got back to the aircraft, his seat was occupied by another observer, Lt. He met the crew and checked out the plane, but then decided that he needed to relieve himself before takeoff. Johnson was assigned to the Wabash Cannonball, a B-26 piloted by Lt. Johnson, in the Navy before his presidency, circa 1940s. “The average loss rate for a mission was 25 percent of the planes.” At that stage of the war, “there were virtually no American fighter planes to provide cover for bombers,” Woods says. Just going along for a ride was pretty dangerous. Thus, on June 9, 1942, Johnson walked onto the tarmac at Garbutt Field in Australia and prepared to join a squadron of bombers on a raid on a Japanese base on the northeast coast of New Guinea, according to Woods’ biography. He pressed commanders for a chance to get into combat, even if it was just as an observer. and Australian air bases, where the closest he got to the rigors of war was enduring a bad case of dysentery. MacArthur was irked that the Joint Chiefs of Staff had decided to give the European Theater precedence in terms of ships, guns and men, and Johnson agreed to act as MacArthur’s advocate when he returned to Washington, and to press for more resources for him, according to Woods. “But Johnson won him over, flattering him and ingratiating himself.”ġ932 First NFL playoff game is played indoors A Promise to MacArthur Helped Win a Chance at Combat “He suspected that Johnson was a political commissar, sent to tell him what to do,” Woods explains. Johnson flew to Australia, where MacArthur, who would become Supreme Allied Commander in June, wasn’t exactly thrilled to see him. In the spring of 1942, Johnson persuaded FDR to send him to the Pacific, where the war was going badly at the time, on a fact-finding mission. But he wanted to get closer to the action, which his advisors also told him would help his political fortunes. Instead, Johnson was sent to the West Coast, where he spent four months supervising Naval shipbuilding contracts. Johnson, the Great Society, and the Limits of Liberalism. Johnson, circa the 1941.ĭespite his rank, “he had no military experience, and there was no way the Navy was going to put him in charge of a ship,” explains Randall Bennett Woods, author of the biography LBJ: Architect of American Ambition, as well as Prisoners of Hope: Lyndon B.

Two hours later, Ingraham said that it was President Joe Biden and his allies, not conservative media figures, who are “superspreaders” of COVID-19 misinformation. “The advice they are giving you is not designed to help,” Carlson said Monday on his show, the most popular on cable news. Government - the Biden administration especially - is intruding upon your life, trying to take control of your body. There’s no reason for young people to get it. The vaccine is experimental, still not fully approved, is one line of attack. Most themes on talk radio or television networks like Fox, Newsmax or One America News are more subtle or philosophical. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warned last week was an alarming flow of disinformation about the vaccines.ĭoctors like Malchuk and Morris, who regularly sees patients in Fulton, Missouri, suspect the internet is behind the more outlandish theories that they dispel - that the vaccines cause cancer, damage fertility or contain microchips. Social media and the internet are major factors in what U.S. “Anything out there that says vaccines are not good for you, that is false.” “There are a lot of things out there that are harmful to public health right now,” she said. Laura Morris, who works in an area of Missouri that has seen a surge in COVID-19 infections, said that she had hoped for less polarization and that more people would have responded to seeing the positive effect of vaccines. “I see people polarized in terms of where they get their information, from whom they get it and, yes, it is politically charged,” she said.ĭr. Malchuk says some patients who are happy to take her advice on, say, diabetes medication, have resisted her encouragement that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective in warding off serious illness. Carlson, when asked directly by two journalists whether he’s been vaccinated, responded by asking their favorite sex position - his way of saying it’s too personal a question.Įven casual consumers of media targeting conservatives over the past few months absorb a deep skepticism about the vaccines. The prime-time hosts, who consistently have the biggest audience, keep their status to themselves, although Hannity has said he was going to get vaccinated. Rupert Murdoch, the network’s founder, has been jabbed, too. Several personalities on Fox News Channel - including Bill Hemmer, Dana Perino, Bret Baier, Greg Gutfeld and the three-member “Fox & Friends” morning team - have been vaccinated and publicized their status. Doocy responded that the vast majority of people who are dying of COVID-19 are unvaccinated. “That’s a good reason.”ĭoocy, arguably Fox’s most influential figure arguing in favor of vaccinations, also took on co-host Brian Kilmeade on Monday when he said people should not be judged if they decide not to get the shot. “Well, you won’t die,” colleague Steve Doocy replied. Two recent exchanges in recent days on Fox News Channel’s popular morning show, “Fox & Friends,” illustrated the mixed messaging.ĭuring a discussion of Los Angeles County’s decision to reinstate mandates to wear masks indoors, even if people are vaccinated, guest host Lawrence Jones said, “People are saying, ‘Why get the vaccine if you’re not going to return to normal? What’s the use of doing it? Why?’” Some medical experts worry that conflicting takes and outright distrust of the vaccine shown by influential media personalities contribute to a failure to meet inoculation goals aimed at arresting the pandemic. Skepticism about the COVID-19 vaccination is a common theme in media appealing to conservatives, despite assurances from doctors and scientists that the vaccine is safe and effective.

HUL sells power brands such as Close-Up, Pepsodent, Sunsilk, Pond’s, Vaseline, Brooke Bond Taj Mahal and Bru to increase product penetration at the bottom of the pyramid. Much of what Unilever is replicating in the developed world has been initiated in India. In India, the bottom of the pyramid customers go for low-price sachets of shampoos, toothpastes, fairness creams and hair oil. It has also launched a low-cost brand of tea and olive oil for the European markets. In Spain, for instance, Unilever sells Surf detergent in packs offering five washes, and offers mashed potatoes and mayonnaise in small packages in Greece. The maker of Axe, Dove, Knorr and Lipton believes in selling small packs of its products in markets such as Spain, Greece and the US. Their marketing strategy is smart-offering brands with multiple price and packaging options has worked wonders. Perhaps HUL has understood it better than others. Some MNCs have explored opportunities at the bottom of the pyramid. Cost-savings management becomes a key to performance and success in these huge low-cost markets. Companies need to develop a tight and effective lean management to optimise supply chain. The low buying power of the bottom of the pyramid consumers makes this approach inappropriate. Margin versus volume: Traditional business in developed countries is mostly based on high gross margins. They buy comfort items like TV, gas stoves, domestic electrical appliances. But it doesn’t mean they can’t buy anything. For these poor consumers, buying luxury products such as a house or installing running water is a luxury. * 41 million Kisan Credit Cards have been issued as against 22 million credit-cum-debit cards in urban areas.Īlso, 50% of LIC policies are sold to rural consumers and, interestingly, 60% Rediffmail users are from smaller towns.įew marketers are cynical about the poor class of consumers by ignoring their potential of buying power. * 50% of the national income is from rural areas * 55% of FMCG products are sold in the rural market (pencils, pens, notebooks) * 60% of all cigarettes are consumed by rural consumers * 50% of all motorcycles are sold in rural areas * 45% of all soft drinks are sold in the rural market In India, two-thirds of the billion-plus people represents rural population. In the bottom of the pyramid market, many companies are adopting their own models in serving these segments. One comes to the conclusion that pragmatic strategies need be devised in tune with the aspirations of the consumer. The challenge is to recognise and accept the uniqueness of these markets and develop strategies to fulfil their needs. The tier four market is wide open for technological innovation. Their strengths: At the bottom of the pyramid, the market is full of opportunities. According to World Bank’s projections, the population at the bottom of the pyramid could swell to more than 6 billion people over the next 40 years, because the bulk of the world’s population growth occurs there. Tier four represents a multi-trillion dollar market. The extreme inequity of wealth distribution is a paradox it has reinforced a view that the poor cannot participate in global market economy, even though they constitute the majority. At the bottom of the pyramid, tier four consists of 4 billion people earning $2 or less per day. At the middle of the pyramid, in tiers two and three, are poor customers in developed nations and the rising middle classes in developing countries-they have been and are the target market for MNCs for whom strategies are made. These are cosmopolitan groups composed of middle- and upper-income people in developed countries, and rich elites from the developing world (they are tier one). Prahalad has some useful insights about consumer needs in poor societies and opportunities for the private sector to serve important public purposes while enhancing its own bottom line.įour consumer tiers: At the top of the pyramid are 75-100 million affluent consumers. Management scholar CK Prahalad popularised the idea of this demographic segment as a profitable consumer base in his 2004 book ‘The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid’ co-authored by Stuart Hart. Bottom of the pyramid, also called the base of the pyramid, is a phrase in economics that refers to the poorest two-thirds of the economic human pyramid. The concept ‘Bottom of the Pyramid’ was first used by US President Franklin D Roosevelt in 1932, while talking about the poor people who are often forgotten because they live at the bottom of the economic pyramid. T the bottom of the pyramid, tier four consists of 4 billion people earning $2 or less per day.

Money spent on purely punitive measures would be better used for prevention, healing, and rehabilitation. The public sex offender registry and residency restriction laws do not protect children but instead ostracize and dehumanize individuals and their families.

Current laws and policies that paint all sex offenders with one broad brush are counter- productive, wasteful, and cause needless harm. Sex offense laws and policies should be based on sound research and common sense, not fear, panic or paranoia.

Even The 4-Hour Workweek was rejected 20+ times before it got an offer.īut conventional publishing isn’t the only game in town anymore. Writers spend years in the wilderness accumulating rejections before finding a single buyer (advances usually start at $1,000 to $10,000). Getting a publishing contract has long been the first litmus test of a writer’s success. The writing on the wall couldn’t be any clearer: the publishing world is changing fast. With roughly $300,000 in royalties per year, he already beat his publisher’s offer… Despite self-publishing his first story only two years ago, it appears he’s made the right decision. We asked Eisler for a current update, and he told us that this month (March 2013), he expects to sell 8,000 copies of his 10 self-published novels and stories, which are priced $1-5 each. “I know it’ll seem crazy to a lot of people, but based on what’s happening in the industry, and based on the kind of experience writers like you are having in self-publishing, I think I can do better in the long term on my own.” In a freewheeling discussion with self-publishing expert Joe Konrath, Eisler says: The surprise was that Eisler turned down the deal and decided to tackle self-publishing instead. Having conquered all that needs to be conquered in the world of commercial publishing, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Eisler’s publisher offered him $500,000 deal for a new two-book deal.

(Photo: The Telegraph, UK) When used in a construction or electrical course, code violations can be assignable to align directly with course curricula and competencies, and metrics can be provided back to instructors or employers. Randomization of code violations in a simulated environment allows for a fresh exploration each time a student enters the house. Along the way, code violations are identified as they would appear on a jobsite. The Delmar Online Training Simulation: Residential Construction Codes allows users to virtually navigate a residential construction site, stopping at code inspection points during every phase of the construction process, to determine code compliance. Learning can now be done at the users’ convenience and provide more immediate assessment to a learner, employer, or certifying body. Today’s era of training involves game-based online simulations to guide students and professionals in understanding everything from complicated building codes to electrical wiring sequences and beyond. “Cutting-edge training solutions like this are one way to do that.” “The trades are looking for new ways to entice workers and inspectors,” said Vanessa Myers, senior product manager at Cengage. This digital resource is designed to serve any student or professional needing to understand and apply the National Electric Code (published by NFPA) and the International Residential Code (published by ICC). Yet labor estimates say that the inspectors that ensure code compliance are retiring at a steep rate - more than 80 percent of the existing code workforce plans to retire in the next 15 years, with more than 30 percent in the next five years.Ĭengage, ICC and NFPA developed a new immersive, 3D training simulation - the Delmar Online Training Simulation: Residential Construction Codes.
