Pulled the official IRCC TCF Canada → NCLC table so I stop mixing up the cut-offs. Listening and reading aren't the same bands — NCLC 7 starts at 458 listening but 453 reading. On the /20 speaking & writing scale, 10–11 is NCLC 7.

“While presented as a lifeline, shared appreciation mortgages often become a trap,” said Andrea Bopp Stark at NCLC. “Massachusetts must go further to prevent harm from more common home equity theft loan products. @massago.bsky.social #ProtectConsumers #FairHousing www.nclc.org/mass-ag-rule...

Congratulations, Ted, and thank you for all you have done and all that you do for consumers (that’s all of us), for students, and for the future of consumer protection and economic justice.
Quote from Steph Carroll (Directing Attorney of Public Counsel's Consumer Rights & Economic Justice project): “Vern Countryman was a legendary champion of consumer rights. It’s hard to think of anyone who better carries on that legacy, or who has built a larger army of advocates to carry it forward.” Quote from Professor Jonathan Glater (Associate Dean, J.D. Curriculum and Teaching): “Ted is a supremely worthy recipient of this recognition for all the hard work he has done, tirelessly and with boundless enthusiasm and verve, in pursuit both of the vindication of consumer law and the achievement of economic justice.” Leila Nasrolahi ‘24 (Former 3L Center Fellow and Law Fellow at Public Justice): “They call it the ‘Ted Mermin Vortex’ for a reason: Ted’s zeal for consumer law is completely magnetic. I’m so grateful to be in his orbit and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award.” Quote from Richard Dubois (Executive Director of NCLC): “Ted has worked assiduously to connect consumer lawyers into a powerful legislative force in California and beyond, winning important consumer protections for low-income people around the country... he is richly deserving of this award.”

September's theme: Labor
LEWIS HINE (1874 - 1940),“Group of Breaker Boys, Pittston, Pennsylvania”, 1911. Library of Congress, Washington DC.
Hine used his camera to document social welfare issues as a way to inform and mobilize the public into action.
#arthistory #art #Labor #LewisHine #photography
Lewis Hine was trained as a sociologist and he used his camera to document social welfare issues as a way to inform, and mobilize, the public into action. Working first as an educator and then as the photographer for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), Hine compiled visual evidence of unsafe and unethical labor practices, often at great peril to himself. He photographed immigrants being processed through Ellis Island and then documented their living conditions in the tenements of New York City; he photographed the construction work at the Empire State Building as it was being built in 1930-31; and he photographed the extensive use of child labor in mills, factories, fields and mines. His child labor photographs were instrumental in the passage of child and safe labor legislation that eventually was enacted in 1938. Pittston, where this photograph was taken, was a major hub in the anthracite coal business of northeastern Pennsylvania. A “breaker” was the building in which excavated lump coal was crushed into marketable size. A “breaker boy” was a young boy – usually between the ages of 8 and 15, but often younger – who sat beside the moving conveyor belt in the breaker and manually removed any impurities (slate or other rock) from the crushed coal as it poured out of the chute. The boys worked 10 hour days, 6 days a week; the average pay was 70 cents per day for a boy who had been at the job for a couple of years (starting pay was about 40 cents/day). Lewis Hine’s collection of photographs for the NCLC was donated to the Library of Congress in 1954; it consists of 5,000 photographs and 350 negatives.
