    June 25, 2020 The Honorable Donald Trump President of the United States The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer United States Senate United States Senate Majority Leader Minority Leader Washington, D.C. 20510 Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives Speaker of the House Minority Leader Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Mr. President and Congressional Leaders: As Governors, we have seen and appreciate your quick and much-needed COVID-19 economic stimulus for the American people. We know that much more needs to be done and we look forward to our continued work with you to respond to this crisis together. As COVID-19 continues to impact both urban and rural communities, we are gravely concerned about the compromised digital access that now threatens entire communities, and people’s livelihoods, educational access, quality of healthcare and lives. Our rural communities are particularly less prepared to mitigate the pandemic itself and adapt to what will certainly be a different world in a post-COVID economy, in large part because of the lack of access to broadband. Some 18 million Americans lack access to broadband internet connectivity, 14 million of whom reside in rural America. In today’s economy these communities, businesses and families without adequate access are left behind, and the consequences are staggering from an economic, health, education, and social standpoint. Broadband is not a luxury, but rather critical infrastructure that’s vitally important to our economic future and national security.

  • What to Expect from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's U.S. Visit
    What to Expect from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s U.S. Visit By Caroline Wadhams and Aarthi Gunasekaran September 25, 2013 Despite ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, the Obama administration continues its steady pursuit of a foreign policy makeover, reorienting its attention and resources to the Asia-Pacific—specifically India. Following a number of high-level visits by American officials to India, including Vice President Joe Biden’s trip in July and Secretary of State John Kerry’s trip in June, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet with President Barack Obama tomorrow during his second official trip to Washington as prime minister.1 During the meeting, President Obama and Prime Minister Singh will likely focus on the following six issues in the U.S.-India relationship: • Trade and investment • Defense cooperation • The U.S.-India civil nuclear deal • Climate change and clean energy • Immigration reform • Security issues and the strategic partnership 1 Center for American Progress | What to Expect from Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s U.S. Visit For the Obama administration, underlying these discussions will be the unmet expecta- tions of the U.S.-India relationship, a relationship envisioned as the cornerstone of the U.S. rebalance to the Asia-Pacific. While there were high hopes following the U.S.-India civil nuclear deal in 2008 and Prime Minister Singh’s 2009 visit to Washington, many U.S. policymakers have been disappointed by the Indian government’s failure to deepen the partnership by implementing the civil nuclear deal, making India more open to investment opportunities for U.S.

  • Dark Side of Leadership in Educational Setting
    DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.78790 ProvisionalChapter chapter 2 Dark Side of Leadership in Educational Setting SeemaSeema Arif Arif Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.78790 Abstract Einstein said that darkness is absence of light. It is assumed that absence of leadership or misappropriation of leadership characteristics and behaviors results in Dark leadership, and it is the system that produces a culture in which dark side of leadership becomes acceptable. In this chapter, I would be exploring the role of middle leadership (school heads, district education officers, and administrative officers) of school education depart- ment in Punjab. The chapter is based upon a qualitative study with in-service school teachers and school heads. The critical incident technique was used to collect data, and interpretive analysis was used to interpret data at various levels from coding to themes generation and interpretation of the phenomenon, dark side of leadership. Goleman’s Dark Triad comprising, authoritarian, narcissistic, and psychopathic, provide theoretical basis of the analysis. The results are shared in a story form progressively supplemented with the evidence generating discourse about the dark side of leadership in the educa- tional settings of Punjab. The study acts like a mirror shedding lights into the deep and dark corners of leadership making them aware of their creepy existence and challenging them to create meaningful acceptance for themselves by coming into light and leaving the dark behind. Keywords: dark side of leadership, control, supervision, victimization, teachers rights 1. Introduction Industrial/organizational (henceforth: I/O) psychologists have begun examining the “dark” side of personality [1–3].

PROFESSIONAL • PIA opposes a federal-chartering system for insurers, even an optional one.

On March 14, 2004, Michael Oxley (R-Oh.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee presented a “road map to state-based insurance regulatory reform” to state insurance regulators. Oxley ruled out optional federal chartering or any type of dual insurance regulatory system, but said new federal regulations to create greater uniformity among state-level insurance marketplaces are necessary. Oxley outlined the plan in an address to the NAIC’s spring meeting. His plan would set up a Federal-State Advisory Council to coordinate future discussions over insurance tax policy and uniformity. He said the goal would be to build on the work already done by the NAIC to create a more uniform, efficient and market-based insurance regulatory system.
