SWAC postpones football season until spring 2021
Published 10:29 pm Monday, July 20, 2020
The Southwestern Athletic Conference will not play football in 2020.
The league announced Monday that it will postpone competition in all of its fall sports — football, cross country, volleyball and women's soccer — until the spring semester because of a recent spike in COVID-19 cases nationwide.
The league made the announcement after a virtual meeting and vote of its Council of Presidents and Chancellors late Monday afternoon.
"The SWAC Council of Presidents and Chancellors felt this action was necessary out of growing concern for the health, safety and well-being both mentally and physically of our student-athletes, coaches, administrators, team staff, campus faculty, fans and supporters," the league said in a statement.
Plans for restarting and rescheduling games in volleyball, soccer and cross country will be released at a later date, the SWAC said.
For football, teams will have an eight-week training period beginning in January 2021. They will then play a seven-game schedule, with four games against divisional opponents, two against teams from the opposite division, and the option to play one non-conference game.
The exact dates for when the training period and games will begin have not yet been set.
The SWAC is the fifth of the 13 Football Championship Subdivision conferences — along with the Ivy, Patriot, Mid-Eastern and Colonial — to postpone its 2020 football season. The SWAC, however, is the only one of those leagues to announce a restart plan.
There also have been no final decisions made regarding schedules for the league's winter and spring sports. It seems likely, however, that the first half of basketball season, which begins in November, will be affected.
Student-athletes will still be allowed to attend classes, and teams can conduct practices and workouts during the fall semester, provided all required local, state, and federal health and safety guidelines are met.
The decision will be costly for some SWAC members. Alcorn State was to be paid $475,000 for playing its football season opener at the Southeastern Conference's Auburn on Sept. 5. Alabama A&M was scheduled to travel to SEC foe Mississippi State on Nov. 21.
Alcorn had also had one home game, on Sept. 12 against Fort Valley State, canceled because the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference canceled its season. Other schools, including Jackson State, had lost games when conferences around the country reached similar decisions.
"The rapid escalation of COVID-19 cases around the country heavily influenced the decision, as well as data that suggests that the African-American and other minority communities are being disproportionately affected," Alcorn State director of athletics Derek Horne said in a statement. "Decisions of this magnitude are made in the best interest of the health and safety of everyone involved."
Although several championships have been vacated because of rules violations, this will mark the first time since 1943 that the SWAC will not crown a football champion, but it could conceivably award two trophies in 2021. The 1943 championship was not awarded because of World War II.
Jackson State University acting president Thomas K. Hudson, J.D., said in a statement that his school supported the SWAC's decision.
"Jackson State University fully supports this decision as the health, wellness, and safety of our student-athletes remains our priority," Hudson said.

Toddler Foods Have as Much Salt as Junk Food
2 February 2015, 9:44 am
When parents are scrambling to feed hungry toddlers, the lure of convenient, pre-packaged food is strong. Unfortunately, new research finds that many foods marketed to the 1- to 3-year-old set are high in salt and added sugar.
In fact, 72 percent of premade toddler dinners far exceed the recommend limits on their sodium content, according to the new study published today (Feb. 2) in the journal Pediatrics. Meanwhile, 32 percent of toddler dinners, and most fruit-based and savory snacks, include at least some added sugar, the researchers reported.
"Some of the foods had about similar [sugar or salt] content to what we see in adult foods," study co-author Mary Cogswell, a senior scientist in the division for heart disease and stroke prevention at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told Live Science. "For example, in the category of savory snacks or salty snacks, the average sodium concentration, or amount of sodium per 100 grams, was about the same as you see in plain potato chips."
These findings are concerning, Cogswell said, because research shows that kids set their taste preferences early in life. If they become accustomed to the taste of lots of sugar and salt during their toddler years, they may end up with unhealthy diets as adults. [10 Ways to Promote Kids' Healthy Eating Habits]
For the study, the researchers collected nutrition data on foods marketed to infants and toddlers from both Atlanta-area grocers (Kroger, Publix, Target, Costco and Walmart) and from the Gladson Nutrition Database, a collection of nutrition information on pre-packaged foods. The researchers excluded infant formulas, milk, yogurt, and fruit and vegetable juices without added sugars. In total, the researchers collected1,074 products.
The good news, Cogswell said, is that foods marketed for infants are mostly low in salt and added sugar. Of the 657 infant products studied, 655 had less than 140 milligrams of salt per serving, which is the level below which the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labels foods "low sodium."
Most infant products likewise avoided added sugar, with the exception of ready-to-serve mixed-grain and fruit products. More than half (52 percent) of those mixes included at least one type of added sugar, and 44 percent derived more than 35 percent of their calories from sugar. [The 7 Biggest Diet Myths]
For toddlers, the nutrition situation was far worse. Both toddler dinners and snacks were high in salt. The savory snacks studied had an average sodium concentration of 496 mg per 100 grams of food. And surprisingly, Cogswell said, the majority of savory dinners and snacks also included added sugars. These sweeteners appeared in dishes that are not sweet, such as pre-made macaroni and cheese, or pre-packaged chicken and pasta meals.
Toddlers can be picky, and sweet-and-salty foods are palatable. But Cogswell recommends persistence in getting kids to eat the healthy stuff.
"Research shows that if you offer neutral foods, fruits and vegetables, at least eight times, kids are more likely to develop a taste for those foods," she said. The message, she added, is "keep trying."
Parents should also turn an eagle eye toward nutrition labels. Not all pre-packaged foods are created equal.
"Among toddler meals, we found a wide variation in the amount of sodium per serving, from about 100 milligrams per serving to about 905 milligrams per serving," Cogswell said.
Finding sugar levels can be tricky, as added sugar can show up on labels under various names. Look for corn syrup, dextrose, glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, trehalose, juice concentrate, cane, malt, maltose or turbinado. In 74 percent of cases, the researchers found, these added sugars will be among the first four ingredients in the food (and thus, can make up a large portion of the food).
Earlier research found that 79 percent of 1- to 3-year-olds exceed daily sodium intake recommendations, Cogswell said. Meanwhile, 23 percent of 2- to 5-year-olds are obese. In an editorial accompanying Cogswell's study, University at Buffalo doctors Susan Baker and Robert Baker drove home the link between packaged foods and lifelong health.
"This study shows that toddlers are exposed to foods that have an unnecessarily high content of salt and sugar," the doctors wrote. "This could lead them to develop a desire for these tastes for the rest of their lives."

Hurricane Harvey Drops Unprecedented Rainfall and Devastates Texas
September 20, 2017 Insurance Claim LawsuitsAmy Hargis
When Hurricane Harvey made landfall on Friday, August 25th, very few anticipated the widespread devastation it would cause. Coming ashore just 30 miles northeast of Corpus Christi, Harvey was declared a Category 4 hurricane with winds up to 130 miles per hour.
The National Weather Service's Unprecedented Warning
The National Weather Service (NWS) is responsible for monitoring and issuing warnings to citizens during natural disasters. In the early morning of Saturday, August 26th, the NWS issued a warning the agency has never used before. At 1:45 a.m., the NWS issued a Flood Emergency For Catastrophic Life Threatening Flooding across Harris, Brazoria, and Galveston Counties.
Devastation Along The Texas Coast
With such high winds, there wasn't much along the Texas coast that could withstand Harvey's destruction. The hurricane also caused storm surges that buried homes and businesses in numerous feet of water. With mandatory evacuations ordered prior to the storm along the Texas coast, many home and business owners didn't learn how their properties fared until days after the dangerous floodwaters receded.
Harvey's Legacy Is Relentless Rainfall
It wasn't just the Texas coast that suffered Harvey's wrath. Numerous cities father inland, including Houston, saw record breaking flooding. Parts of the Houston area received over 50 inches of rain, more than has ever been recorded in the state's history. Other areas of Houston received between 20 and 35 inches of rain.
The amount of rain created a devastating problem in the Barker Reservoir and Addicks Reservoir on the west side of Houston. The 70 year old earthen structures could not handle the amount of rain dropped by Hurricane Harvey. This prompted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to begin controlled releases of water out of the reservoirs and into Buffalo Bayou. Unfortunately, Buffalo Bayou was already at capacity and the controlled release caused extensive flooding for residents downstream from the dams along the bayou.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers knew that a controlled release from the reservoirs would cause downstream areas to be inundated for an extended period of time. This has proven devastating for home and business owners who live and work near the reservoirs.
Unfortunately, the Addicks and Barker reservoirs were not the only bodies of water at risk of a breach. On Tuesday, August 28th, authorities in Brazoria County announced that a levee breached at Columbia Lakes. Residents were warned to leave the area immediately or to seek the highest ground possible.
For nearly a week, Texans suffered torrential flooding from the storm, but unfortunately it's still hurricane season; and, just as soon as things start drying up, it rains again.
Picking Up The Pieces After Harvey
Recovering from Hurricane Harvey will take a long time. The widespread flooding will make repairs to property costly and time consuming. Once property and business owners have filed insurance claims, it could take months for repairs to be complete. However, policyholders need to know they have rights, and if an insurance company is unfairly delaying or denying a claim, they can hold the company responsible. The Texas insurance lawyers at Raizner Slania know how devastating natural disasters can be on your business because we have handled thousands of these claims for property owners across the state. If you feel like your claim is being delayed, or if your claim is outright denied or underpaid, contact us immediately.

The top 10 most coffee-crazed U.S. cities to visit this summer
By Shannon Sweeney — August 02, 2019 / Death Wish Coffee Blog
What are the best coffee cities in the United States?
If you're like me, every decision you make revolves around coffee — when to drink it, where to drink it, how to drink it. Coffee owns my life and I'm totally OK with it. Planning trips is by no means immune. Finding places to drink coffee is as important — if not more important — than finding a place to stay or booking the tickets. So what United States cities are the best to visit for coffee lovers?
WalletHub conducted a study last year to answer just that. It compared the largest 100 cities in the U.S. and compiled data from 14 key metrics that include about coffee shops and cafes per capita, average prices, percentage of coffee drinkers, and more. Here are the top ten cities. Get those travel itineraries ready and prepare to head west!
This is the least surprising result ever. Seattle is widely known as the home of Starbucks Coffee. But there's way, way more to the Seattle coffee scene than just Starbucks. The city has more than 840 coffee shops.
2. Portland, Oregon
Portland comes in second on our list, and is mentioned in the top 5 for the most affordable and highly rated coffee shops. It's tied for first with Seattle for the most coffee and tea manufacturers per capita. This pacific northwest city has more than 730 coffee shops, and most are located in its downtown and Goose Hollow area.
3. San Francisco, California
San Francisco is ranked in the top 5 for the most coffee shops per capita — and rightfully so. It has more than 1,000 coffee shops, and tons of them have a 4.5-star plus rating. Be careful, though — in San Francisco, you'll pay much more on average for a pack of coffee.
4. New York, New York
New York has more than 3,300 coffee shops located throughout its five boroughs, so it's no surprise that it's No. 3 for the highest percentage of adult coffee drinkers. An additional bonus — it's tied for first with Chicago for the most donut shops per capita.
5. Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles ranks in the top 5 for most coffee shops per capita and has some of the highest prices per pack of coffee. Take a look at some of the best coffee shops located in L.A. here.
6. San Diego, California
In the last few years, San Diego has seen a surge in craft coffee, especially in its North Park and East Village neighborhoods. The WalletHub data ranked it in the top 5 for most affordable and highly ranked coffee shops.
Chicago is tied for first for most donut shops per capita if you're looking for a little something extra to have with your morning joe. The city is constantly adding more coffee shops, making it difficult to put a number to how many are located in this midwest city. Take a look at some of the best coffee shops located around the city.
Denver comes in at No. 8 on the WalletHub study, and if you're looking for a coffee festival to attend, Denver is the place to go. The event comes complete with a cold brew competition and a product preview for what's up and coming in the industry.
9. Boston, Massachusetts
Boston is in WalletHub's top 5 for donut shops per capita. If you're looking for authentic Italian roasts, head to Boston's North End (and make sure to grab a cannoli to go with it). If you're looking for recommendations in other parts of the city, check out this list.
10. Washington, D.C.
The nation's capital rounds out the top 10 for best coffee cities to visit. In the past three years, D.C. has seen an increase in the number of independent coffee shops opening around the city. Map out which ones you want to visit here.
And while you're traveling around the country or pinpointing what city you want to visit next, see where you can find Death Wish Coffee in stores.

Jeremy Rosado
Jeremy Rosado came from a big Puerto Rican family who loved celebrating together and Jeremy was the singer, the first one to be musical in his family. From a young age he sang for family events, and then one day he saw American Idol on tv and set his lifelong goal to be on it. After four separate auditions that resulted in being sidelined, Jeremy thought he might give up on the dream. But one more opportunity came around, but it was formidable: beat 12,000 who showed up that day for the American Idol season 11 audition in Savannah, Georgia. And he did. Jeremy not only made the cut that day, but captured the audience and finished the tv show as a finalist at #12 alongside roommate Colton Dixon, and as a favorite of Jennifer Lopez. "Jeremy has one of the most beautiful voices I've heard," said Ms. Lopez.
Since the show, Jeremy has been working hard touring, teaching, leading worship at his church, and even refining his already-jaw-dropping voice. In 2013, Jeremy released his first solo single "Don't Be Afraid" with good friend Pablo Villatoro, formerly of Group 1 Crew. He followed that with the full-length album "Heartbeat", and the "Rewind" EP that soared to #9 on Apple Music's Christian & Gospel chart and gained hundreds of thousands of streams.

Beautiful Pictures of Earth from Space
June 15, 2020 · Stephanie Kay-Kok
Earth is a beautiful, dynamic "blue marble," and satellites like the Suomi NPP capture images of it multiple times a day. Thanks to the NASA Earth Observatory and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, we can view many of these awe-inspiring pictures online.
In this post, we've put together some gorgeous pictures of Earth from space, photos that most of us can only dream about taking. But with continued interest in space programs and research, that dream could become a possibility someday.

Earth Images from NASA
Despite all the technological, political, and social changes that have occurred in the past 50 years, the way Earth looks from space hasn't changed that much. The ocean is still blue, the clouds are still white, and the continents are still roughly the same shape.
While major events like forest fires or volcano eruptions are visible from space, they can end up looking small and insignificant compared to the rest of planet, hanging in the expanse of space. That's one of the reasons pictures of Earth are so compelling; they provide a humbling view of humanity, showing how tiny we actually are in the universe.
The main thing that has changed about pictures of Earth is their clarity. Thanks to advances in technology, we can now capture images of Earth in sharp detail. But whether you're looking at images from now or 50 years ago, the sense of wonder remains the same.
Here are both historical and recent pictures of Earth to inspire awe and put our life on this planet into perspective. All images are courtesy of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, which has an incredible collection of photos and videos in their online galleries.
Pictures of Earth from Apollo 8 and Apollo 17
These two historic photos were among the first ever captured of Earth from space. The first, called "Earthrise," was taken by astronaut William Anders in 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission to orbit the moon.
It's been called "the most important photograph ever made" as it helped launch the environmental movement in the US. As Anders later said, "We set out to explore the moon and instead discovered the Earth."
Four years after the Apollo 8 mission, another influential photo of Earth was taken by the Apollo 17 crew five hours after their launch into space. Called "The Blue Marble," this image was widely printed, especially by environmentalists, as it showed how isolated and fragile the Earth is.

Composite Images of Earth
Inspired by The Blue Marble picture from 1972, NASA has created more Earth images with the same composition, showing the planet straight on in the middle of space. Only now, they capture images with satellites instead of a manned spacecraft. And they don't take a single image – they rely on data and imagery from several sources, combined together.
These composite images have a level of clarity, color, and detail that can't be achieved in a single satellite photo. That's because satellites orbit close to Earth. They aren't far enough away to get a whole hemisphere in one photo.
Robert Simmon, a data-visualizer and designer at NASA's Earth Observatory, admitted to Quartz that combining images does lead to some "fakeries." For example, in the 2002 Blue Marble image of North America, the darkness around Earth isn't actually space. It's a black background he added. And the Earth's atmosphere? That's Photoshop blur.
However, these edits are all based on real data and imagery. And without some adjustments in Photoshop, the final image would look strange and unrealistic. It may not be as authentic as the photos from Apollo 8 and Apollo 17, but it's still grounded in facts.

Earth Images from the Suomi NPP Satellite
The Blue Marble images that NASA released in 2002 and 2007 were created using a group of satellites, known together as the Earth Observing System (EOS). Each EOS satellite has a specific focus or mission, which has led to valuable insights about Earth. But with advances in technology, it's time for a new generation of satellites that can provide more in-depth data, specifically about climate change.
The Suomi NPP satellite is the first step towards this new satellite system. Launched in 2011, it orbits the Earth about 14 times every day, collecting data about pollution, climate change, natural disasters, and weather conditions.
Suomi carries several instruments, but the most important one is the Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), which detects light in a different wavelengths (including colors.) With this instrument, Suomi can observe wildfires, gas flares, and city lights, among other things.
Using data from the VIIRS, scientists and designers can also create stunning images of Earth. They no longer need to combine data from several satellites. Instead, they can create composite images using data from Suomi alone.
To learn how the following composite images were created, check out this explanation from NASA.

Blue Marble 2012 – Western Hemisphere
Blue Marble 2012 – Eastern Hemisphere
A Sky View of Earth
Tropical Storms Viewed From Space
Of course, the Suomi and EOS satellites aren't the only ones in space. There are over 5700 satellites around Earth, though less than half of those are still operating. The rest have outlived their purpose and are now space junk.
Nevertheless, there are still 2600+ satellites in use, and not all of those are for communication. A handful of countries have weather satellites, for example. Along with recordings from the International Space Station, these satellites work together to monitor weather around the globe. This way, we can track major storms regardless of where they are in the world.
Tropical storms (i.e. hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones) have a unique shape that's immediately recognizable from space. "You can feel the power of the storm when you stare into its eye from above," astronaut Nick Hague said about Hurricane Dorian in 2019. Even from so far away, the storm's swirling clouds and circular center are powerful to see.

Trump and his office are sued for communicating with deleted messages
Two independent groups Thursday sued US President Donald Trump and his office for using encrypted messaging applications whose messages are erased after being sent, which he believes violates the law requiring the preservation of presidential communications records.
The lawsuit is based on the routine use that Trump and its employees in the President's Office of encrypted applications such as Signal and Confide, who automatically delete the messages after a time, according to press reports, which would prevent them from being archived for Their future public access.
The complainants, the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and the independent National Security Archive (NSA), said in a statement that they are also concerned about other "problematic practices, including the destruction of the president's tweets" .
"By erasing those messages, the White House is destroying essential historical records," CREW chief executive Noah Bookbinder said in the statement.
Americans can not access the president's records while he is in power, but the Presidential Records Act requires them to be made available five years after he leaves the White House, or twelve years in the case of confidential information.
The organizations raise the possibility that Trump's custom of erasing some of his tweets, in many cases spelling mistakes, but occasionally for other reasons, amounts to a violation of the Presidential Registers Act.
The lawsuit, filed today in the Washington District Court for the District of Columbia, also requires the publication of visitor records received by the White House, which the Trump Government has stopped making public.

WDLB: The changing times
WDLB/WLJY staff received the Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry's Firm of the Year award in 1987. (Submitted photo)
By Kris Leonhardt
Heading into the 1980s, the WDLB-FM 106 station call letters were changed to WLJY. More affectionately called "Joy," the station broadcast in an easy listening format to the greater Marshfield area.
WLJY's format was later updated, and the station became Lite FM 106.5.
The Marshfield radio stations were supported by a large staff, which was reflected in the news department during the 1980s.
Former WDLB news director Thom Gerretsen was working at radio station WPDR in Portage when he was approached for a position with WDLB.
"Jack Hackman called me on a weekend and said, 'Can you come up tomorrow?'" said Gerretsen. "Don Meyers was the news director then."
In 1978 the news department at WPDR consisted of a single position, and Gerretsen operated as a one-man news show at the Portage station.
"That's why I came up here. They had two full-timers and a part-timer back then," added Gerretsen. "Don was the news director, and I was his full-time assistant. … Don was on vacation for a week, and I got thrown into a lot of things."
WPDR broadcast from sunrise to sunset, whereas Marshfield's WDLB was on the air 24 hours a day.
"When I got here, Marilyn Hardacre was elected that April of '78," recalled Gerretsen. "I got to see her grow in the job. I got to see her just blossom. It was terrific to see.
"(In news media) you get access to every part of the community, and that's wonderful. The bad thing is that you really can't get too close to the people that you are covering because something's going to happen to them, and when it does, you are not going to give their story justice."
Gerretsen operated as the eyes and ears for Marshfield over the next two decades as he continued to watch both the community and the radio station change and prosper.
Changes included sound operation within the studio. Commercials had gone from live audio to being taped and played on carts: cartridges resembling an eight-track tape.
Music followed that process as carts were used to play songs so operators did not wear out the records.
"Back in the '80s we actually had computers, and I had heard of stations using them in their newsrooms," said Gerretsen. "I had no idea how they worked, so they finally got us a computer, and they got us a system out of La Crosse called Wire Ready. You could put sound bites on there. The MP3s followed."
The 1980s became an award-winning decade for Marshfield's radio station, first receiving the Wisconsin's Radio Station of the Year award from the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association in 1983 and then being honored as the Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry's Firm of the Year in 1987. To complete the decade, WDLB was one of 10 stations in the nation to receive the Crystal Award, which is given out by the National Association of Broadcasters to honor stations for community service.
The 1980s also saw the introduction of a new station manager as Bill Allen came on board in 1985. Hackman continued to operate as general manager until he assumed other responsibilities with Goetz Broadcasting Corporation.

The Oxford Illustrated History of Tudor & Stuart Britain
A history of Great Britain focuses on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
Britain under the reign of the Tudors and Stuarts was a country marked by extraordinary and dramatic change. These are the centuries of the Reformation, civil wars, and two revolutions; a time of upheaval that saw two monarchs, two wives of a king, and two Archbishops of Canterbury tried and executed; and a time of religious controversy that resulted in the torture or burning of hundreds of ordinary people. But this was also the time that marked the emergence of Britain as the most liberal and mature of European states, a politically significant era where monarchs based in southeast England imperfectly sought to extend their authority over the whole of the British archipelago. In this exciting and richly illustrated new work, eighteen leading scholars explore the political, social, religious, and cultural history of this tumultouous time.
The Oxford Illustrated History of Tudor and Stuart Britain chronicles the explosion of literacy and the printed word, transformations in landscapes and townscapes, new forms of wealth, new structures of power, and new forms of political participation that freed minds and broadened horizons in the generations from 1485 to 1689. We see the consolidation of England under the reign of the Tudors, with particular contributions in setting the pattern of local government from Henry VIII's two great ministers, Thomas Wolsey and Thomas Cromwell. And we witness the rise of litigation and the creation of the aristocracy alongside the inexorable increase in prominence of the English parliament, and, of course, the creation of the Church of England and the firestorm that the Reformation wrought. Here are the marital difficulties of Henry VIII, the events which brought Charles I to the scaffold, and the circumstances that drove James II to ignominious flight, as well as keen insights into the culture and society of average people and members of the royal courts.
From the maneuverings of rulers and powerbrokers, both religious and secular, to the profound social and cultural changes that affected the lives of ordinary men and women throughout Britain--indeed, throughout the world--The Oxford Illustrated History of Tudor and Stuart Britain offers the most authoritative history of this great age ever published for the general reader. For every student, scholar, and anglophile who ever wondered what it would be like to visit the royal court, this will be an indispensable volume.

Trouble tenant Nina Willis faces fresh accusations from new landlords
By Michael RobinsonStaff Reporter
Wed., March 16, 2016timer4 min. read
Toronto's terrible tenant has allegedly struck again.
Nightmare renter and convicted fraudster Nina Willis appeared before the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) on Wednesday, this time for not paying rent after moving into a house owned by Scarborough seniors. The Star has reported seven previous cases for properties Willis has been ordered out of since 2005.
Her landlords, Alan and Lloy-Ann Shields, allege Willis — who was sentenced to six months in jail and one year of probation in 2015 for defrauding two of her former landlords — is behind approximately $9,000 in her obligations, the equivalent of roughly six months' rent.
Willis did not respond to repeated requests from the Star for comment at the hearing or to letters, phone calls and emails at the rental property.
During the hearing, Willis claimed she had the money ready but that her landlords did not pick it up and made it too difficult for her to transfer the funds. She also alleged the landlords video-recorded her and put her through abuse.
James G. McMaster, the adjudicator presiding over the case, chided Willis for her excuse, explaining it wasn't the landlords' responsibility to come and collect the money.
"Well, madam, they don't have to come for them," he said. "When I owe money to the bank, the bank doesn't come to my front door . . .
"No they don't," Willis replied. "But I'm not the bank."
McMaster ultimately reserved his decision as to whether or not to evict Willis for failing to pay up.
The Shields, who denied Willis' claims of hostile treatment to the Star, said their struggle began shortly after Willis moved into their Mossbank Dr. rental property in December 2014. Late payments, followed by none at all, soon followed. The recent retirees filed for an eviction with the LTB in August last year.
In total, the couple estimates the process has cost them over $30,000 in missed rent, legal fees and unpaid utilities. Lloy-Ann told the Star the entire situation is "absolutely horrible."
"You say this is a free country and these people took it literally," she said from Florida, where the couple is on vacation. The couple's children attended Wednesday's hearing in their absence.
"Literally my mom is in tears," said their son, Ron. "My parents saved up for their retirement, not this.
"We are just fed up. We just want them out."
The issues with Willis appear to have extended far beyond the rent, however.
Jason Evans, who has lived beside the Shields' property for four years, told that Star he complained to police more than once after Willis engaged in verbal altercations with him and his family. Toronto Police confirmed officers attended the property "multiple times" in 2015 but did not say what for.
Alan and Lloy-Ann Shields also allege that Willis refuses to speak with them. "She won't answer the door, won't answer the telephone, won't answer emails, not even a mailbox delivery," said Lloy-Ann.
According to her, there was no reason to suspect Willis was suspicious when she first applied to rent the property. Further, Lloy-Ann alleges Willis identified herself as "Nay Lancelot" rather than her real name.
"I did all the reference checks and everyone said she was fine . . . I'm a trustworthy soul," she said, adding she "did not think enough" to conduct a credit check.
Despite her history of stalling evictions, Willis' most recent case was judged on its own merits. A tenant's past run-ins with the LTB do not have any bearing on board decisions.
A spokesperson for Social Justice Tribunals Ontario, a group of adjudicative bodies that includes the Landlord and Tenant Board declined to comment before Wednesday's hearing.
"Each case is unique," she said in an emailed statement. "People have to feel confident that when they come before an adjudicator, their case will be judged on its merits, the particular facts of the case, and the law."
Cases like the Shields are facing is one of the reasons why Progressive Conservative housing critic MPP Ernie Hardeman remains a staunch opponent of the Residential Tenancies Act, the provincial law that lays out the responsibilities of landlords and tenants.
The legislation, he said, requires a rewrite to account for "professional tenants" who exploit the rules meant to protect them from unfair evictions.
"Obviously there are people who have figured out . . . how to get into places and not pay," he said. "Government legislation is allowing this to happen and the government should be stepping up to come up with solution."
Hardeman advocated for the creation of a public registry of unruly tenants and landlords two years ago after a Star investigation exposed how Willis — along with other trouble tenants in the province — used legal loopholes to stall their evictions while continuing to live rent free at the expense of landlords. (A series of Star articles have reported on Willis as a "tenant from hell" after landlords accused her of not paying rent, changing locks to keep landlords out, damaging property, and more.)
Privacy laws kept landlords in the dark when vetting a future tenant. In Ontario, a renter or landlord's track record — no matter how tainted — is sealed and kept secret.
Since then, Hardeman said "(the government) has done absolutely nothing to solve this problem."
But change may be incoming. As part of a provincial housing strategy announcement made earlier this week, the government said it plans to brainstorm different ways it can encourage smaller landlords to provide rental housing.
"This includes exploring changes to the Residential Tenancies Act to reduce any undue delays in the eviction process and opportunities to abuse the system," said Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing spokesperson Praveen Senthinathan in an emailed statement.

New Interfaces in Social Practice at Open Engagement
Mary L. Coyne
on June 6, 2014 at 8:58 AM
Open Engagement, an annual conference at the Queens Museum, brings together dozens of scholars, artists, curators, advocates and social workers to share ideas and generate conversations across geographical and professional boundaries. Building from the theme of live/work, attendees were continually challenged to consider methods of seamlessly connecting art with life.
Sunday programming at Open Engagement brought a focus on pedagogy and what each of us, as individuals, can do. The potential of each of our contributions to a critical discourse and positive change was highlighted in each of the presentations and panels, closing with the ultimate testament to individual social practice, a keynote speech by Mirele Laderman Ukeles.
The conference featured a series of speakers as a part of an Open Platform who shared their projects in 10-minute presentations. As presenter Joseph Krupczynski quoted, "teaching is learning and learning is teaching." Each of the projects shared methods by which pedagogical practice could often function as a work in and of itself. For example, Nina Bellsio of St. Thomas Aquinas College formulated a requirement for her design students to create and brand a completely sustainable product with packaging. In challenging her students to consider these aspects of newly introduced products, Bellsio fostered a macro concern for resource conservation, and encouraged an internalization of outside-the-box thinking. While many of the projects and ideas presented throughout the conference excelled as social practice and communal leadership, Bellsio's work allowed a momentary return to actual formal art production and the way in which the aestheticization of life could simultaneously advance a greater concern for life and sustainable manufacturing.
This fundamental act of challenging the way we approach the world around us likewise defines Joseph Krupczynski's teaching practice. In his program at UMass Amherst, Krupczynski's students engage with the development of real-world social practice projects, such as running a community book-trade shop. These projects are actively recorded in blogs and online journals, which Krupczynski believes encourages community connection in addition to the development of his student's self-awareness and writing skills. Much like Bellsio's initiative, Krupczynski stressed the importance of developing a society in which social practice was not as much an isolated artistic activity but a way of life.
This systematic wearing away of the boundaries between art and life came to the fore in James McAnally's I am for an artist who vanishes, a presentation to be given by the Temporary Art Review editor. Electing to remain invisible, it was announced that McAnally had chosen to instead have a third party present the talk just before he was scheduled to appear, separating the content from the artist's identity and intentionally blurring the individual voice.1
Grounded in Claes Oldenburg's manifesto, I am for an art, which proclaims: "I am for all art that takes its form from the lines of life itself, that twists and extends and accumulates and spits and drips, and is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself," McAnally's writing addresses this utopian musing of an art that could exist completely independently of the mechanisms of the art world.
These themes were revised again in an open workshop titled Curating for a Socially Engaged Art featuring Bill Kelley Jr, curator of the Getty Pacific Standard Time series LA/LA (Los Angeles/Latin America); Josh McPhee, founder of Justseeds Cooperative; and Erin Sickler, curator of the Queens International and member of Arts & Labor. Although not directly addressed, each of the curator's projects towards collective and social practice that fundamentally challenged the traditional role of curator and impresario to the virtuoso artist.2 Instead of acting as director of a cast of artists, the curators forming the panel, together with moderator Prerana Reddy suggested options for understanding the curator as collaborator or sponsor to greater vision. As Kelley explained during the panel, the curator could act as an agent, restraining his or her individual vision into a supportive infrastructure to allow greater ideas to flourish.
By re-phrasing the relationship between art and life into that of art and work, we can consider not only how art can enter into daily habits and experiences, but also how to more fully examine the complex ways in which art and our means of earning capital are intertwined. Through both the conference and discussions generated over the course of the weekend, Open Engagement suggested alternative ways of infusing work with life, life with work and forging new interfaces within artistic social practice.
Mary Coyne was both the presenter and the author of this review. To avoid conflicts of interest, this review was edited and published by a third party to preserve some separation between the talk and publication of the review. ↩

After hype on Kartarpur, Pakistan wants restrictions on movement of pilgrims
ANI New Delhi, Delhi, India Mar 15, 2019, 09.21 PM(IST)
Kartarpur gurudwara. (Picture courtesy: Pakistan Foreign Ministry) Photograph:( WION )
Pakistan has said that the number of Indian pilgrims visiting the shrine in that country should be capped at 500.
Just like its false promises on terrorism, Pakistan has been found indulging in a duplicitous game on the much-hyped Kartarpur issue too as it has proposed a number of restrictions on the movement of pilgrims, thus defeating the very purpose of having a dedicated corridor.
Pakistan has said that the number of Indian pilgrims visiting the shrine in that country should be capped at 500 even while India has approved facilities wherein up to 5,000 pilgrims can be handled daily and over 15,000 pilgrims on special occasions, government sources said here on Friday.
Pakistan, after having assured visa-free passage to Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib, has now brought in, through the back door, the requirement of issue special permits by them to pilgrim, which defeats the basic purpose of having a dedicated corridor, the sources said, a day after the two countries first delegation-level talks to operationalise the corridor.
The meeting was held at Attari in Gurdaspur district of Punjab yesterday during which issues like finalisation of the draft agreement between the two countries for facilitating smooth and easy access to Corridor Kartarpur Sahib to the visiting Indian pilgrims were discussed.
Against the hype created by the Pakistan government and Pakistan media, its actual offer on the ground turned out to be a damp squib, the sources said.
Pakistan's double-speak on the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor stood exposed in the first meeting on the proposal as there is a considerable difference in what Pakistan authorities, including Prime Minister Imran Khan, had announced on various occasions, and in what they have offered now, the sources said.
The sources likened it to Pakistan's old reputation of making false promises and tall claims but delivering nothing as has been the case of so-called 'Naya' (new) Pakistan which has failed to act against the terror infrastructure and terrorist havens on its soil, despite assurances given to the international community.
Having tried to first create a hype about the Kartarpur Corridor, Pakistan now seeks to impose too many restrictions on the proposed corridor facility, like capping the number of pilgrims to only 500 per day, seeking to restrict the corridor facility to only Indian Sikh `Yatris', not allowing movement, of devotees on foot, restricting the travel into groups of at least 15 persons, issue of special permits despite assurance of visa-free movement, they said.
While the Government of India has made a serious effort to fulfil the long-standing aspiration of the Indian pilgrims and devotees of Shri Guru Nanak Dev abroad, Pakistan has tried to scuttle the move through its highly inadequate and restrictive responses to the Indian requests which were conveyed, in the form of a draft Agreement, to Pakistan few days ago by the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, the sources said.
Its approach to Kartarpur Sahib Corridor reflects a thinly-veiled attempt to conceal its narrow, ulterior objectives of pursuing its subversive and divisive agenda against India and encouraging elements inimical to India, they said.
While India has approved a state-of-the-art passenger terminal building, with all modern amenities and capacity to handle over 5,000 pilgrims daily and over 15,000 pilgrims on special occasions, Pakistan has sought to limit it to mere 500 pilgrims per day, the sources said.
India is also shocked to learn that Pakistan has allowed rampant encroachment on the lands belonging to Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib, the sources said.
These lands, donated to the Gurdwara by Maharaja Ranjeet Singh and other eminent Sikh devotees over a period of time, have also been acquired by the government of Pakistan.
India has protested against the impropriety of arbitrarily depriving the Gurdwara of its legal possessions, in utter disregard to the sentiments of the devotees of Shri Guru Nanak Dev in India, the sources said.
Strong demand has been made by the Indian side for early restoration of these lands to the Gurdwara, keeping in view the strong sentiments on the issue among devotees in India.

Mitchell Abidor is a Brooklyn-based translator and the author of May Made Me: An Oral History of the 1968 Uprising in France (2018). His latest book is his translation, with Richard Greeman, of Victor Serge's Notebooks 1936-1947 (2019). (May 2019)
'Les Temps Modernes': End of an Epoch
Few publications remained as true to their initial goals as Les Temps Modernes, and few demonstrated the rigor and openness and bravery it did in fulfilling it. Fewer still could boast of contributors of the caliber of those who wrote for the journal, especially in its early days, and the quality and durability of their contributions. Difficult as it may be from our perspective, it is important to see that the review was, within its historical moment, making honest attempts to break out of the closed, bourgeois world it rebelliously grew from in order to seriously engage in changing society. If its call for radical action sounds hollow today, more's the pity for us.
Victor Serge: Indispensable Critic of Leftist Illusion
When Victor Serge died of a heart attack in a Mexico City cab in 1947, there were said to be holes in the soles of his shoes. They spoke of the poverty of his last six years in Mexico, but they also symbolized the peripatetic life of this perpetual exile. But it is a life with lessons, for Serge and his rethinking of socialism and the left have a particular resonance today. The rise of right-wing populism, which has taken over the left's former base, the emergence of the mixed left- and right-populism of the yellow vests in France that rejects political parties, as well as the emergence of a firmly democratic socialism in the US, all point to the need for a re-examination of leftist verities in which Serge engaged, particularly toward the end of his life.
1968: When the Communist Party Stopped a French Revolution
Once it lost the Communist Party (PCF) as the mediating force to represent its grievances, the French working class fulfilled Herbert Marcuse's 1972 warning that "The immediate expression of the opinion and will of the workers, farmers, neighbors—in brief, the people—is not, per se, progressive and a force of social change: it may be the opposite." The PCF understood this latent conservatism in the working class of 1968. Not so the New Left student movement. In the end, it had only ouvriérisme sans ouvriers.

Your Expense Policy Speaks Volumes about Company Culture: This Week in the Back Office
Team PEX | Jun 10, 2016
A sound expense policy is a cornerstone of smart back office management. Employees must be able to spend money, whether their own or the company's, to do their jobs — and companies need to keep costs in check. But even the best policies have limits.
For Niel Nickolaisen, chief technology officer at a Bay Area software company, that limit was $57 worth of ice cream sandwiches — and the brouhaha it created.
As he explains in The Huffington Post, Nickolaisen purchased the treats a couple of years ago for a Fourth of July team picnic. A little sun, ice cream and a moment to relax is great for team building, right? But when he turned in his expense report, the finance department balked. He had apparently clipped part of the date from the receipt — the company's policy required dates on all receipts — and finance wouldn't budge. It was a small annoyance, Nickolaisen admits, but it highlights a bigger problem: Rigid policies can be counter-productive, even damaging to employee morale.
"Trust is the foundation that supports all great workplace cultures.... Yet, there are many things that we do reduce trust. Sometimes, the trust destroyers are the actions of others and sometimes they are processes we put in place—processes that send a strong message of low trust," Nickolaisen says.
Policies are critical, but so too are the people who make the work possible. Check out the full story.

'The whole world tour has been a spectacular success': ITB agent Rod MacSween on Guns N'Roses' live prowess
June 5th 2018	at 7:00AM
Guns N'Roses international booking agent has hailed the "spectacular success" of the band's Not In This Lifetime... world tour, ahead of their headline performance at this weekend's Download Festival.
Beginning in April 2016 the tour, which reunited original members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan, was the second highest grossing of 2017 and has become the fourth highest grossing of all-time, generating $480.9 million (£363m) from 125 shows to date, according to Pollstar.
It stopped off in the UK for two sold-out nights at London Stadium last June and returns to Donington Park this Saturday, where an incarnation of GNR fronted by Rose previously topped the bill in 2006.
Speaking in the new issue of Music Week, which is dedicated to all things rock, ITB's Rod MacSween said: "The whole world tour has been a spectacular success. Some highlights were the two sold out Olympic Stadium shows in London last year, playing the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Australia and the passionate crowds in South America."
MacSween, who guides the band's live career outside North America, described public demand to see the reformed line-up as "voracious", adding: "The strategy has been to route with care, to play some new markets and always plan ahead."
On what to expect from their Download slot, MacSween said: "The highest level of entertainment. Go see them to find out!"
GNR's US agent, UTA's Ken Fermaglich, added: "The single most important overarching strategy for us has been doing whatever we can to ensure that people understand this is not a legacy act, it is a vibrant band that is contemporary to lots of other bands right now."

Winx Club Seasons
Winx Club Forever
This article has been completed. Only edit it if you think it can be improved.
October 2012 - April 2013 (Italy)
August 2012 - September 2013 (USA)
We're the Winx
Underwater Mission
Next (continuity)
In 2010, Iginio Straffi announced that production on a fifth season of Winx Club had started. The season was intended to focus on the "further adventures of the seven magical fairies" as they gained a brand-new ability to choose between fairy forms. This plot was detailed at the Licensing Expo 2010 and in a March 2010 interview with Straffi.
However, the season momentarily halted production when the international media company Viacom became a co-owner of Rainbow. By 2011, the previously-planned fifth season had been shelved. The combined Rainbow/Viacom decided to retool the season to focus on the oceans and pollution.
As confirmed in 2010, Viacom's Nickelodeon Animation Studio became a co-producer of the fifth season. Viacom assembled a team of long-time Nickelodeon writers for the season: Jeff Borkin, Carin Greenberg, Alan Kingsberg, Sarah Jenkins, Sascha Paladino, and Adam Peltzman. Janice Burgess, the key person of Nick Jr., served as creative consultant for the season, just as she did for the Specials. Nickelodeon's producers Sarah Kamen, Jonathan Foss, and Jeannine Hodson also returned from the specials. Peter Zizzo, a Grammy Award-winning songwriter for Nickelodeon, worked with Elisa Rosselli to compose many of the songs for this season.
Season 5 began airing in August 26, 2012 in the USA on Nickelodeon, and from October 16, 2012 it aired in Italy.
Season 5 has been named Winx Club: Beyond Believix on Nickelodeon (similarly to how Season 4 was named Winx Club: The Power of Believix and how Season 3 was named Winx Club: Enchantix). Now, the battle cry is "Magic Winx! Harmonix!" and later, "Magic Winx! Sirenix!".
This season is also more strongly connected to past seasons through references and character cameos than Season 4 was. The first thirteen episodes aired in America between August 26, 2012 and November 25, 2012. A Magix Christmas aired Sunday December 9, 2012 at 1/12c on Nick.
After the thirteenth episode, the show went on a three-month hiatus with new episodes returning on February 17, 2013. A few months later, it went on hiatus yet again in May 2013 after the twenty-third episode with the remaining episodes airing in September 2013. The season concluded in Italy on April 24, 2013 and September 22, 2013 in the USA.
"The Winx Club are back. This time, the Winx will have their journey underwater and will have to face a new dreadful villain, Tritannus. He was a normal triton who was mutated into a powerful monster caused by pollution. His main goal is to rule all the world by entering the Infinite Ocean!
The Believix power is not strong enough underwater, as the Believix wings are useless when they become wet hence the Winx start a challenging quest to get the ancient Sirenix power and become Ocean Fairies.
Wonderful sea creatures such as the Selkies will help the fairies in this "Underwater Mission". Will the Winx manage to save the Magic Dimension? Will they prevent Tritannus from becoming the evil Emperor of the Infinite Ocean?"

After being on Earth most of Season 4, the Winx finally return back to Alfea.
The Winx, once again this season, have new civilian outfits.
Roxy appeared in the Season 5, but as a minor recurring character.
From the rightful sources, it has been officially confirmed directly from Rainbow that "The Lilo" is the fifth episode created for Season 5, however, it is not the proper fifth episode of the main season 5 story arc. "The Lilo" is a stand-alone episode, which both Nickelodeon and Rainbow agreed was the episode chosen to use to launch Season 5. Despite this, "The Lilo" was aired as the fifth episode in Italy.
Along with "The Lilo", "A Magix Christmas" is also a stand-alone episode and is not counted in the continuity in USA, as the narrator introduced "Trix Tricks" as the episode after "The Gem of Empathy". Despite this, "A Magix Christmas" is still the tenth episode.
Several characters that appeared from seasons 1 to 4 (including the movies) all appeared in this season.
Each Winx's home world was seen.
The monarchs of the home worlds of the Winx were all seen.
Tecna's home world, Zenith, finally making its debut after being mention from the first season.
This season also takes place where Season 4 leaves off with the Wizards of the Black Circle defeated and are frozen solid in the Omega Dimension.
This season strongly focuses on the sisterhood of Daphne and Bloom; unlike previous seasons that focused on Bloom's search for her birth parents (Season 1 - 3 and first movie) and Roxy (Season 4).
The Pixies are neither seen nor mentioned in this season.
This will be the first season of Winx Club to feature two openings: a 2D opening for the first twelve episodes and a 3D opening for the remaining fourteen episodes.
This is the first season to have spells released from the leg.
This is the second season to use flash animation with the first being Season 4.
This is the first season to use both flash animation and CGI animation.
This is also the first season to be in a 16:9 aspect ratio (HD).
This is the second season in which the Winx earn multiple Fairy Forms, with the first being Season 4, the third being Season 6, and the fourth being Season 7.
This is the first of these seasons in which the Winx earn two Fairy Forms, with the second being Season 6 and the third being Season 7.
