The restaurant industry is doing much better in 2018 than in previous years. July was another month of positive, albeit small, same-store sales growth for restaurants. According to Black Box Intelligence, for the year to date as of the end of July, sales growth was 0.3 percent for 2018. By contrast, sales results were worse than -1.0 percent for each of the last two years. It should come as no surprise that guests are reflecting a considerably more positive attitude toward returning and spending money at restaurant brands they are mentioning online. Over the last three months ending July 2018, an average 59% of all "intent to return" mentions had a positive sentiment behind them based on White Box Social Intelligence data, indicating guests are more likely to visit those restaurants in the future. A year ago, that same average was only 39%. As intent to return sentiment has become increasingly positive, there has also been a jump in positive sentiment associated with restaurant service. Service guest sentiment improved by almost nine percentage points year over year during July. However, restaurants seem to be struggling with guest perception of their food. TDn2K research has shown, nevertheless, that service is a much bigger differentiator for sales at best in class restaurant brands than the food itself, which is good news for the industry based on the improving service scores.
As chain restaurants continue to struggle through years of decreasing guest counts and anemic same-store sales growth after two years of declining sales, it is more important than ever to determine the traits of top performing restaurant brands and the metrics that differentiate them from the rest. According to TDn2K studies, there is a clear connection between employee retention (particularly restaurant management retention), guest sentiment and a brand's sales and traffic growth results. Restaurant operators frequently mention staffing as one of the biggest challenges they are facing this year. But top performing companies, based on their same-store sales growth, are improving on manager retention. Based on Black Box Intelligence numbers, during Q2 of 2018 these top performers saw restaurant manager annual turnover rates 21.8 percentage points lower than companies that had the worst sales growth results. At the same time, those restaurants with the highest sales growth rates also had guest sentiment that was 16.2 percentage points higher based on their intent to return. The data shows there is a perceivable difference in the guest experience, particularly for service, in top performing brands and this difference is frequently associated with superior employee retention.
Among the 25 largest markets in the country, the leaders in positive restaurant sentiment during July were limited to only two DMAs. Orlando, which has frequently topped the list for many of these restaurant guest sentiment attributes in the past, had the most positive for food, service, and ambiance. Guests in Sacramento had the most positive online mentions and reviews for the restaurants they visited based on their beverage, value, and overall intent to return. On the other end of the spectrum, guests in Los Angeles had the least positive sentiment on their restaurant experiences during July, demonstrating the weakest sentiment based on food, service, ambiance and value. In the case of this DMA, it seems to be a case of guests becoming more demanding of their restaurant experiences. Los Angeles was consistently featured as the most positive in several of these attributes until May, when it moved from that top spot for all attributes. It is currently the market showing the least positive sentiment in four of six attributes in July. Los Angeles, however, is the DMA with the third largest average same-store traffic growth rate for the last three months among the largest markets in the country. Guests there have proven they want to visit restaurants more often and continue to do so, but their expectations are high.

The man behind the meme
Bike MS cyclist raises more than $30,000 after asking the internet for donations.
by Laura Pemberton
You might know him as 'The Blinking White Guy', but Drew Scanlon—as he's known in real life—is using his hilarious meme to raise serious funds and awareness to benefit people affected by multiple sclerosis.
After taking to Twitter to reveal himself as the man behind the meme and ask the internet for donations, Scanlon raised more than $30,000 in 10 days. His story went as viral as his meme and was shared on major news outlets including the Washington Post, NPR and Time.
We sat down with the San Francisco-based online celebrity (actually, we called him on our office landline phone. Very '90s of us.) to learn why creating a world free of MS matters to him and how he feels about the viral reaction he's gotten.
Q. First, how did the meme get started?
Scanlan: This is kind of the second wave of this. It first got popular in 2017. It wasn't an experience I was totally unused to. I worked for a video game company called Giant Bomb. We would do a lot of videos as part of site content, and our audience would quite often make GIFs of us.
One of those GIFs jumped species out of our own little video game community to the internet at large. I attribute it to internet chaos theory. It just kind of snowballed.
Q. What made you want to reveal yourself as 'The Blinking White Guy?'
Scanlan: I hadn't tried to hide the fact it's me, but I typically don't use it myself. It feels uncool—like if a rock band was wearing their own T-shirt. But I thought I could make an exception if I could leverage it for a good cause. The MS cause is one that's very close to me.
What is a meme?
A humorous image, video, piece of text that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.
Q. Why is the mission of the National MS Society important to you?
Scanlan: Two friends of mine have MS—Chelsea and Katie. Katie's mom, Ellie, also lives with MS. Her family's been doing Bike MS for more than 30 years, and Katie brought her team out here to the West Coast, and we've been riding as friends for four years.
Q. What do you like about Bike MS?
Scanlan: It's just a fun event. I think that comes from a lot of things. The fact that I'm there with my friends really helps. It's also just well designed. There are plenty of rest stops with food and bathrooms. [Riding] 86 miles is a challenge, but it's a fun challenge because you've got support.
The general attitude is also great. Everyone's really positive. I like the vibe that everyone has. These rides are really fun, and I think people should get out there and try them even if they seem intimidating. I can't recommend this one specifically (Bike MS: Waves to Wine) enough. I look forward to it every year!
Q. What kind of reaction have you gotten?
Scanlan: I think MS is something that people have heard of, but they don't hear about very often. I'm so glad that the tweet and meme have taken off and are associated with MS now.

I think someone in Scandinavia donated. And I've had several people say, 'thank you for what you're doing,' or, 'I know someone living with MS.' If I had gotten even one of those messages or one donation, this would have been a success.
Q. How do you feel about your story going viral and the impact you've made?
Scanlan: It makes me feel really proud to be able to do this. It's given me a little more confidence in the goodness of people. This money has come in large part from random people on the internet. They didn't have to give money, but they're choosing to do that. That's really heartening.
Laura Pemberton is director of content for the National MS Society. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.

Craig McCaw
Craig McCaw was born on August 11, 1949 in Hunts Point, Washington, United States. Wireless pioneer Craig McCaw has stayed out of the limelight since stepping down as chairman of telecom operator Clearwire in 2010, two years before it was acquired by Sprint. Now he chairs intellectual property firm Pendrell, which has sued big tech firms for alleged patent infringement. After reaching an undisclosed settlement with Amazon in July 2015, Pendrell unsuccessfully went up against Apple, Google and Samsung over the same charges; a U.S. District court in Texas cleared the tech giants in separate cases in November 2015. In 1966 McCaw and his brothers took over their dad's cable-TV business. They sold McCaw Cellular to AT&T in 1994 for $12.6 billion.
Craig McCaw is a member of Media

Currently, Craig McCaw is 71 years, 5 months and 7 days old. Craig McCaw will celebrate 72rd birthday on a Wednesday 11th of August 2021. Below we countdown to Craig McCaw upcoming birthday.
Popular As Craig McCaw
Occupation Media
Born August 11, 1949 (Hunts Point, Washington, United States)
Town/City Hunts Point, Washington, United States
Nationality United States
Craig McCaw's zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won't accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.
Craig McCaw was born in the Year of the Ox. Another of the powerful Chinese Zodiac signs, the Ox is steadfast, solid, a goal-oriented leader, detail-oriented, hard-working, stubborn, serious and introverted but can feel lonely and insecure. Takes comfort in friends and family and is a reliable, protective and strong companion. Compatible with Snake or Rooster.
Some Craig McCaw images
Craig is the second of four sons of Marion and John Elroy McCaw. McCaw's Father was a broadcasting magnate and owner of Gotham Broadcasting Corporation. WINS which became one of the first stations to play rock and roll. Alan Freed was the earliest famous personality disc jockey on the show. McCaw's Father was in the Business of buying and selling TV and radio stations, which brought in wealth but also incurred significant debts. Elroy entered the cable television Business in the 1960s, and his four sons worked as linemen and door-to-door salesmen.
When the FCC held a lottery for cellular licenses in the early 1980s, many ordinary Americans got rich by winning the right to establish cellular systems in cities across America. In addition to entering the lottery himself, McCaw approached many other lottery winners and bought their cellular rights, which were already considered to be undervalued. Using the same tactic he'd used in cable TV, McCaw financed an aggressive cellular expansion by borrowing against and selling shares in the cable operation. Through continued borrowing and smart management of only the most useful licenses, this wireless land grab put McCaw's operation in the position of a competitive nationwide cellular carrier before the incumbent landline telephone industry took serious notice of the field.
After acquiring MCI's cellular wing in 1986, the McCaw brothers sold the cable company to Cooke Cablevision (now part of Comcast). The combined cellular operation was a significant player in the field. In 1990, McCaw was the highest paid CEO in the US.
McCaw was a founding donor and underwriter of the Free Willy Foundation (along with Warner Brothers Studios) from 1993 to 2002, with an original $2m donation. The foundation was formed to re-release Keiko the Killer Whale into the wild. It was later known as the Free Willy-Keiko Foundation.
In 1994, McCaw and Bill Gates teamed up to form Teledesic, with an ambitious plan to form a broadband satellite communications system with nearly 300 low earth orbit satellites. In 2002, Teledesic halted satellite production; and in 2003, it sold its spectrum licenses.
Following the sale of McCaw Cellular, McCaw took interest in Nextel, a then-floundering wireless carrier. By April 1995 McCaw gained effective control of the company contributing, along with his brothers, $1.1 billion over time. Within four years Nextel grew significantly to become a challenging wireless competitor, servicing 3.6 million customers throughout the U.S. and ten of the largest international markets. In 1999 McCaw formed Nextel Partners, Inc. which was later acquired by Sprint Nextel, Inc., for $6.5 billion in 2006, following a $36 billion merger between Nextel and the Sprint Corporation in 2005.
McCaw was previously married to Wendy McCaw, a California newspaper publisher. They divorced in 1997. McCaw is married to Susan Rasinski McCaw, an investment banker and former United States Ambassador to Austria. They have three children together.
Later that same year, McCaw founded NEXTLINK Communications, planning to enter the broadband and internet Service provider market. In 2000, the company merged with Concentric Network and was renamed XO Communications. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2002.
In August 2004, McCaw founded Clearwire Corporation, a provider of wireless broadband Internet Service. The company's U.S. broadband network is deployed in markets ranging from major metropolitan areas to small, rural communities.
At the end of 2007, Clearwire offered Service in 46 markets in the U.S. as well as four markets in Europe.
In November 2008, Clearwire completed a landmark transaction with Sprint combining their next-generation wireless broadband businesses into a new wireless communications company, which retained the name Clearwire. With the closing, Sprint contributed all of its 2.5 GHz spectrum and its WiMAX-related assets, including its XOHM Business, to Clearwire. In addition, Clearwire received a $3.2 billion cash investment from Comcast, Intel, Time Warner Cable, Google and Bright House Networks.
In January 2009, Clearwire launched its first 4G mobile WiMAX network in Portland, Oregon, making it only the second city after Baltimore to offer a high-speed network at true broadband speeds. By the end of 2010, the company had expanded its 4G network to 71 markets in the U.S. covering more than 110 million people.
McCaw, who served as Chairman of Clearwire until December 31, 2010, once said to an interviewer, "Filling a need that others aren't addressing has always been a focus of the companies that I have been involved with."
McCaw is a significant car collector, and once amassed a collection of 400 cars with his brother, Bruce. In 2012 McCaw paid $38.1 million for a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, setting a new record for the most expensive car ever sold. The 250 GTO was originally built for Stirling Moss, who never raced the car. It was driven at the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans by Innes Ireland and Masten Gregory.
As of 2016 Craig McCaw is no longer on the Forbes 400 List of Wealthiest Americans. [1]

Heffalumps are creatures that first appeared in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day in Pooh's dreams for adventures. Unlike the Woozles, heffalumps become friends and allies to Pooh and his friends.
In the original A.A. Milne books, heffalumps are depicted as figments in Pooh's nightmares. In the first book, as heffalumps are eating honey within his dreams, Pooh Bear becomes deeply distressed and wakes up to find that it never truly happened. In The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, a very similar instance occurs after Tigger introduces both heffalumps and woozles to Pooh very shortly after they meet, although the latter does attempt to correct him. Because of Tigger's words, Pooh Bear stays up throughout the night, guarding his honey. After hours of staying awake, he lulls to sleep in which, much like the first book, he dreams of heffalumps, and, this time, woozles as well. While he does not look deeply distressed by the nightmare itself, Pooh does show signs of uncomfortableness all throughout. When he wakes, he speaks to himself in the mirror and never mentions this to any of his friends.
Heffalumps are not mentioned again until the first season of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. In the episode "There's No Camp Like Home", Piglet also shows deep distress while experiencing a heffalump and woozle induced nightmare of his own. After reluctantly going camping with Tigger and Pooh, he soon meets a family of heffalumps who, while obsessed with honey as past Winnie the Pooh literature and animation suggests, are not necessarily evil. This and the next episode they appeared in, "Trap as Trap Can", suggest that not all heffalumps are to be feared, though the extreme desire for honey still remains evident. When the episode "The Great Honey Pot Robbery" was released, we're introduced to another heffalump named Heff, who, much like the heffalumps depicted in Pooh and Piglet's nightmares, is a villain who chose to associate himself with a woozle named Stan.
After the appearances of the heffalump family and Heff himself, actual heffalumps are not seen again in any Winnie the Pooh animation, except as intimidating figments, as seen in Tigger's song sequence in Boo to You Too! Winnie the Pooh, a Halloween special that aired in 1996. While they are indeed mentioned by the main characters in other Pooh works as well, none are physically seen.
In 2005, Pooh's Heffalump Movie brings heffalumps back and are not only physically seen, but, as the title suggests, they are the main focus of the movie. In the film, Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit and Roo are introduced to heffalumps. They fear them as strange creatures with "fiery eyes" and "tails with spikes." They are initially intimidated by one, an innocent kind-hearted one named Lumpy, but Roo becomes friends with him. After a misunderstanding, the others soon warm up to him as well, introduce him to Christopher Robin, and are soon seen interacting with other members of the heffalump community. Lumpy continued to appear in Winnie the Pooh media, including Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie and in a semi-regular role in the series My Friends Tigger & Pooh.
Depiction
Before the release of Pooh's Heffalump Movie, heffalumps were mostly seen as villains who often partnered up with woozles and selfishly took honey without much thought, which is where a great deal of the fear the Hundred Acre Wood has for them comes from. While there was a rare case of a family of heffalumps who were at least willing to help Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet in a couple of instances in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, after this series ended, heffalumps, as well as woozles, were once again seen as frightening thieves and could not be trusted.
Even though this continued throughout Winnie the Pooh animation in the 90's and early 2000's, Pooh's Heffalump Movie not only reintroduces heffalumps but argues some new ideas about them as a species. This movie introduces a new character named Lumpy, a genuinely sweet heffalump who loves to have fun and make friends. Though initially antagonistic of him, Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, and Eeyore see how harmless he and his mother truly are and ask him for forgiveness. Because of this movie, the new ideas presented about heffalumps are:
Many heffalumps are harmless and show no ill will toward others.
These heffalumps are seen as quadrupeds, regardless of past depictions as bipeds.
Despite past evidence against this, many Heffalumps are more than willing to develop friendships with other creatures.
In the original film, Pooh has a funny dream with Heffalumps and Woozles and sing a little song where every heffluamp and woozles have colors and shapes and sizes everywhere. at the end of the song Pooh Bear wake up and saw the rain. They are never seen again throughout the rest of the film.
Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin
Heffalumps and Woozles are not seen in the movie but they maybe try to find Christopher Robin back in Skullasaurus where Heffalumps and Woozles are in the map that Tiggers says about them and Owl draws the map.
Despite the title, Heffalumps do not physically appear even though the title focuses on said creature. In a song about Heffalumps, Pooh, Rabbit, Eeyore, and Tigger fear these creatures with "fiery eyes" and "tails with spikes.". They are never seen throughout the rest of the film, with the exception of Lumpy who is an individual and real Heffalump.
Live-action appearances
Hefflaumps also appeared in the live-action film they were in the beginning of the film (in illustration style) when Pooh is falling asleep and dreaming about Heffalumps.
In the middle part of the film where Christopher Robin and Pooh are in the woods where the sign said about Heffalumps and Woozles, Christopher Robin tried to tell him that Heffalumps and Woozles aren't real, but Pooh, believing they are, causes them to follow his and Chistopher's foosteps instead of following Christopher's compass (which pointed to the sign's direction), causing Christpoher to yell him, leaving Pooh so hurt that he left Christopher Robin alone. Christopher then searched for Pooh and ended up falling and getting him trapped in a trap meant for Heffalumps an Woozles. After trying to escape and getting unconcious, it suddenly started to rain and the trap were Christopher Robin was trapped began to flod. While unconcious, Christopher has a dream in it where a Heffalump kidnaps him. The Heffalump resembles a real elephant a lot more than the ones in the original.
Upon finding the gang, who were hiding believing a heffalump was somewhere in the woods, Christopher was forced to fake the defeat of a heffalump in order to convice them he was indeed Christopher Robin.
Heffalumps and also Woozles have made an appearance in both The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh dark ride at Disneyland Park and Magic Kingdom. They appear in Pooh's dream sequence. They also appear in Pooh's Hunny Hunt at Tokyo Disneyland.

Dr. Inga Winkler is an Associate Professor in International Human Rights Law at the Central European University in Vienna, Austria. She takes a socio-legal approach to her research, which focuses on socio-economic rights, gender justice and sustainable development. Current research projects address menstruation through various angles, the human right to sanitation, and the UN Special Procedures.
Her books include the first comprehensive monograph on the human right to water, the Handbook on Critical Menstruation Studies, and an edited volume on the Sustainable Development Goals. Her articles have appeared in the Journal of Human Rights, the Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters, Feminist Formations, Culture, Health & Sexuality, among others.
Inga is the founder and co-director of the Working Group on Menstrual Health & Gender Justice ...
New article: Menstruation and Human Rights: Can We Move Beyond Instrumentalization, Tokenism, and Reductionism?
I have contributed an article to a special issue on menstruation and the law. Menstruation is increasingly recognized as a human rights issue. However, many global organizations adopt a reductionist understanding of human rights. They use the frame of dignity but present it in a narrow sense of ensuring privacy and cleanliness, eschewing a more fundamental understanding of dignity as agency and autonomy. They address the socio-cultural dimension of menstruation, but only present culture as restriction and barrier to the realization of human rights, which seems to be driven by Western liberalist understandings. They instrumentalize human rights to advance narrow, technical fixes in the form of menstrual products, hygiene interventions, and sanitation facilities. As a result, human rights framings risk leaving menstrual stigma unaddressed. Against this background, the paper calls for re-envisioning human rights from below to address gender injustices.
New Paper with Chris Bobel: "Bizarre" and "Backward" - Saviorism and Modernity in Representations of Menstrual Beliefs and Practices in the Popular Media
"34 Bizarre Myths about Periods from around the World"... This and many other examples of popular discourse increasingly addresses cultural and religious beliefs and practices related to menstruation. Many such articles lapse into sensationalized or patronizing accounts of menstrual beliefs and practices that disregard and, in some cases, even ridicule cultural and religious traditions--reflecting the neocolonial trinity of victim, savage, and savior that cast the global North as progressive and the global South as regressive. These discursive formulations metaphorically cast women and girls as passive victims of their "savage" culture in need of "saviors" who have the authority and the resources to alleviate their suffering. In doing so, the articles largely fail to understand the complex and diverse meanings of menstrual beliefs and practices and to acknowledge women's and girls' agency. While we appreciate the increased attention to menstruation, as global menstrual community we need to do better to understand the diverse meanings of menstrual practices in their sociocultural, religious, and historical contexts.
Definition of Menstrual Health
We have defined menstrual health through a global collaboration of experts.
Published open access in Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters, menstrual health is defined as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in relation to the menstrual cycle."
This shared understanding of menstrual health will help us address menstrual needs holistically to support the realization of a range of human rights.
New Paper with Trisha Maharaj: 'You don't just do it because someone else said so': Menstrual practices and women's agency in the Hindu diaspora of Trinidad
Menstruation matters. And for many it is deeply imbued with socio-cultural meaning and embedded in religious practices. While the current dominant narrative presents menstrual practices as restrictions and often characterizes Hindu women as the oppressed victims of their religion, we seek to complicate this oversimplified narrative. We explore women's motivations, choices and decisions related to menstrual practices in the Hindu-Trinidadian diaspora. Our findings indicate that the women we interviewed exercise agency in the cognitive, emotional, religious and socio-cultural spheres. Many of them value or accept menstrual practices as part of what it means to be a Hindu woman—motivated by religious observance and/or the desire to be part of a community that upholds tradition. These varied manifestations of women's agency challenge the understanding of menstrual practices as necessarily-and-always oppressive and call for acknowledging the nuance and complexity of women's lives.
Socio-economic Rights: Consolidating Progress, Charting Future Directions
I published a chapter in the book A Research Agenda for Human Rights edited by Michael Stohl and Alison Brysk. The field of socio-economic rights has made enormous progress over the last 25 years, which makes it an opportune time for engaging in reflection and self-reflection and contemplating future directions. I argue argues that future research would benefit from focusing on the implementation of human rights and approaching human rights in a more integrated way that furthers the notion of indivisibility. It is time to move past the dichotomies of civil and political rights versus socio-economic rights and the Global South versus the Global North. Socio-economic rights scholarship is also called upon to engage with and respond to some of the defining challenges of our time related to climate change, the global economic system and inequalities.

New article with Sabrina Kozikis: The Paradox of Framing Water as a Human Right in the United States: An Analysis of Power and Resistance
Many communities across the U.S. struggle to access clean and affordable water, but the U.S. government does not see the right to water as relevant in the domestic sphere. We explore why grassroots organizers and national-level activists use the human rights framework to advocate for access to water in a country that is so hostile toward socio-economic rights. We present out analysis through the lens of different conceptions of power, power within, power with, and power to and find that engaging with human rights conveys a sense of universality, connectedness, collective strength and validation, which provides communities with the power to act and hold governments accountable.
The Palgrave Handbook on Critical Menstruation Studies, which I co-edited, has been published and is available online.
It invites the reader to explore menstruation from nearly every possible angle, including dimensions that you might not yet have considered: the historical, political, embodied, cultural, religious, social, health, economic, artistic, literary and many more. With 72 chapters on more than 1000 pages, the Handbook--the first of its kind--establishes Critical Menstruation Studies as a rich field of research.
The Handbook fills a crucial gap. It exposes myths, fallacies, and false claims. And while it advances the knowledge of the field, it acknowledges that there is a lot we don't know yet. It is the critical companion for anyone interested in menstruation. For more info see here. For the complete Open Access Handbook see here.
A number of my articles and book chapters on menstruation, the right to water, and the SDGs are forthcoming in 2020/21:

New grant-funded project to assess policy developments on menstrual health
We're embarking on a new research project to assess policy developments on menstrual hygiene and health through the lens of human rights, focusing on India, Kenya, Senegal and the United States. We're particularly interested in exploring whose voices, interests and needs are centered and whose are marginalized in these policies and the processes leading to their adoption, and how this influences the framing of policies both in terms of their scope and the targeted populations.
Our team has received the Columbia University Provost's Interdisciplinary Teaching Award for developing a course on "Menstruation, Gender and Rights: Interdisciplinary Approaches."
Menstruation has emerged as a key entry point for current discussions on gender justice recognizing the body as foundational, urgent and politically relevant. This is why menstruation matters: it unites the personal and the political, the intimate and the public, the physiological and the socio-cultural. The course will examine different spheres of life, including health, education, equality in the work place, freedom of religion, and cultural rights. It will pay particular attention to the intersection of gender and other markers of inequalities, including disability, socio-economic status, age, caste, and gender identity.
I will teach this course together with colleagues:
Noémie Elhadad, Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics
Lauren Houghton, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology
Anja Tolonen, Assistant Professor of Economics, Barnard College
Chris Bobel, Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, University of Massachusetts Boston.
Report Launched at Congressional Briefing: Flushed and Forgotten
Communities across the United States lack basic sanitation, leading to health and environmental crises that largely affect individuals living in poverty, advocates explained in a set of briefings before Congress, organized by Earthjustice to foster attention to this national problem and catalyze solutions.
The causes and consequences are detailed in a our report, Flushed and Forgotten: Sanitation and Wastewater in Rural Communities in the US. The report, co-authored by Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice, the Columbia Law School Human Rights Clinic, and the Institute for the Study of Human Rights at Columbia University, calls for laws and policies that address the specific needs of rural communities.

In the first episode, I promised to share a StoryJack of from my own life. Through the process of thinking about what I might want to share, or really how to sum it up and not take hours, I realized that I have dozens of places I have transformed myself.
I chose to start with Love.
What I was doing in my 20's came from stories I was unconsciously choosing. And, these unconscious stories weren't working so well. When I was 25 decided to take a look at what I was doing in relationships, why I was doing what I was doing, and then what it might look like if I did it differently. This episode is all about developing insights so that I could find myself and then lose my heart to the right person… me.
I'm Lyssa Danehy deHart and I am a StoryJacker, this time I am StoryJacking Love.

Philippines and China to collaborate on 5G, 6G and more
January 11, 2023 Joana Bagano News 0

As part of their commitment to driving innovation and collaboration in the digital and information communication technology (ICT) sectors, the Philippines and China recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU).
According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), the MoU is intended to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing in the field of emerging technologies such as 5G, 6G, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), industrial internet, big data analytics, and robotics.
"The signing of this memorandum of understanding between DICT and China's MIIT is foremost an affirmation of our respective nations' desire to continue to deepen our existing bilateral relations and to promote useful exchanges in the areas of digital and ICT cooperation," said DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy, who signed the MoU for the Philippines. China was represented by Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) Minister Jin Zhuanglong.
5G and 6G a priority
Specifically, the two sides will prioritize the development of national 5G and 6G deployments, exchange best practices for digital governance, and explore potential partnerships to establish data center projects in accordance with international standards.
"This MoU between the Philippines and China will also pave the way for further agreements for the execution of projects or activities on ICT, and will support our country's efforts to improve and accelerate digitalization in line with the priorities of President Marcos," Uy added.
In an earlier event, the Chinese Embassy in Manila's First Secretary Zhu Min said the two countries could further work on 5G growth and big data centers to expand the computing power and storage capacity of the Philippines.
He said both could use technologies and digitalization to transform agriculture and improve market access for farmers, noting that there is "very big room" to develop the digital economy cooperation. Zhu added that this could be especially advantageous for the countries' initiatives: the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative and the Philippines' Build Better program.
Bilateral ties between Philippines and China
During the event, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Alfredo Pascual said the Philippines has implemented policy reforms in the past five years, including amending relevant laws to facilitate foreign investments and ownership of companies involved in advanced technology.
The Philippines and China have had a long history of bilateral trade, investment, and people-to-people exchanges, and the new MoU is expected to further strengthen the relationship between the two countries in terms of digital technology.
"Both China and the Philippines seem to understand that the cooperation between the two countries in the areas of bilateral trade and economics, people-to-people, and high-level exchanges, as well as the synergy of the BBB program with China's BRI, and the anti-pandemic cooperation, have brought tangible benefits on both sides," analysts note.

Karsten Schmidt is one of Berlin's "Wendekinder", or one of those, who witnessed the wall dividing the city falling, which kick-started the development of the underground electronic music culture in Berlin. This lead to him establishing a connection with electronic music from its early days.
Like many others who began their musical journey as frequent visitors of clubs like Bunker, the old Tresor, Walfisch, E-Werk, WMF, he made contact with known and unknown DJs, who deeply influenced him and he began his intensive exploration of electronic music. Even if the popularity of many of those music pioneers and idols he met early on changed in time, his love for the music didn't, as well as his desire to exceed the limits of 4/4.
This is how it came to be, that Karsten Schmidt's all time favorites belong not only to the Disco, House and Techno classics, but also incorporate musical influences from Ambient to Drum'n'Bass. Along with Giorgio Moroder, Lil' Louis, Carl Craig, Underground Resistance, Moritz von Oswald, such names as Aphex Twin, Squarepusher or Jean-Michel Jarre belong to his musical background.
Given this history, you can expect to hear many nuances and surprises in his sets. Even those, who love music from the past, can check some of his current sets, where among the latest and future hits some old-school gems can be discovered.

La viticoltura in Molise è l'insieme delle attività di coltivazione di uva e produzione di vino svolte nella regione.

Storia
La viticoltura in Molise risale al III sec. a.C., ai tempi dei Romani e dei Sanniti. Della viticoltura, si sa che ne esistono pochissime tracce. La prima citazione usata era il Tintilia, usata nell'800. Il Molise, della sua viticoltura sta trovando una sua identità, essendo legato anche dall'Abruzzo. I vini dell'Umbria, sono un po' un misto tra Abruzzo e Puglia. Il vitigno Tintilia, rappresenta la rinascita della viticoltura molisana.

Full Moon in Taurus — October 31, 2020, 14:49 UT
Saturday, October 31st, 2020
All Saints' Day, Halloween and the Finnish Kekri, now all are celebrated on the same weekend. And above all, a spectacular Full Moon rose in the sky on Oct. 31.
At this time of the year the veils between the worlds are thin. Kekri is the old Finnish pagan harvest festival. Whether the character called Kekri was a god or a ghost, we don't know for sure. However, the dead relatives and ancestors were invited for dinner, and sauna was prepared for them as well.
The Moon is in Taurus in conjunction with Uranus and 15760 Albion, the first cubewano. The Moon is opposite the Sun in Scorpio, the sign associated with sex, death and transformation. Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is in Libra, which is another sign ruled by Venus, and it is opposing Chiron in Aries. The exact Venus-Chiron opposition takes place the next day, on Nov. 1.
The opposition is an aspect of confrontation, of meeting something or someone face to face. There is potential for conflict, but it also brings awareness. The signs in opposition are complementary to each other. The aspect often works through relationships. Libra is the sign associated with relationships, Taurus with values. Venus as the ruler of these two signs has to do with both associations, as it shows what we appreciate and how we bond with other people.
Howard Sasportas has described the transits of Uranus like this: "Uranus transits can activate our ability to connect with and understand the workings of the universal mind, allowing us to glimpse its intention and direction. When this happens, we may become the channel or agency through which some new idea or trend circulating in the collective psyche can manifest."
Uranus is the rebellious rule-breaker. Robert Hand writes about Uranus in Taurus: "Uranus in Taurus is difficult because the revolutionary, rebellious and instantaneous quality of Uranus is not suited to the slow and gradual nature of Taurus. Signs such as Gemini allow Uranus to release its energies in a series of small discharges, preventing it from blowing up. But the nature of earth resists the electricity of Uranus such that when the energy is released, it is released in a tremendous explosion."
15760 Albion, previously known as 1992 QB1, was the first minor planet found beyond Neptune (in 1992) after the discovery of Pluto in 1930. It was the turning point, which opened the door for discoveries of thousands of icy bodies in the outer regions of our solar system. Albion was named from the creation mythology of William Blake, an English poet and visionary. Albion is also the ancient and mythological name of Britain. Blake's works don't open up easily. Astrologically Albion can represent the edge, the bridge leading to the unknown, and the archetype of the thresholder.
"In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors," has William Blake said. The symbol for Chiron is a key, and keys open doors allowing us to enter into a new space. Chiron brings awareness and builds bridges. Chiron has been described as a maverick, so there is some Uranian flavor in it.
Taurus resists change and Libra seeks balance, but by this Full Moon in Taurus the stability will be shaken, one way or another.

New Moon in Libra — October 16, 2020, 19:31 UT
The New Moon in Libra is opposite the retrograding Mars-Eris conjunction in Aries and square to Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn. Two distant minor planets, centaur 10199 Chariklo and plutino 15810 Arawn are also in conjunction with the Capricorn planets. There is an impressive cardinal t-square pattern formed by all these planets.
A t-square is an aspect pattern formed by two planets opposing each other and both of them squared by a third planet. It is a very stressful configuration. The tension is searching release, which can result in impatience and indiscretion. There are more than just three planets involved in the current t-square and the participants add extra weight to the aspects.
The Sun and the Moon in Libra are opposing Mars (action, passion, anger, aggression) and Eris (chaos, discord, provocation) in Aries. Mars is strong in its home sign, but now it is retrograding, which can hinder its normal behavior and cause huge frustration. Also Eris is retrograding. The empty leg of the t-square, which in this case is in Cancer, could act as the discharge point for the tension, but now the heavy Capricorn stellium concentrates the energy strongly on the apex in Capricorn.
The building energy that the t-square produces is not just a stress factor, but a possibility for successful work if it is handled constructively. Fortunately the New Moon in Libra is concerned of balance and justice. Moreover, the "graceful spinner" Chariklo is in the mix. Chariklo provides support.
The presence of Arawn offers an excellent moment for some serious soul searching. Van Morrison has the Sun-Arawn conjunction in his natal chart, and his works often tell about the spiritual search and healing. In an old interview, when it was a question about the identity crisis he had went through, he said: "…what they call in psychology an identity crisis… What it is as a matter of fact, it's called growth… The whole point is, dig yourself." Arawn may have a lot to do with being real, or showing our original essence.
15810 Arawn was discovered in 1994 and named in 2017 from Welsh mythology. Arawn was the ruler of the Celtic otherworld, Annwfn, meaning "the in-world", derived from an ("in, inside") and dwfn ("world"). Annwfn was like a paradise, a world of eternal youth where disease was absent and food was ever-abundant.
Jupiter is a planet of faith and self-confidence. It likes to explore and is interested in the search for meaning. Jupiter is now tightly conjunct Arawn. Mercury has just turned retrograde in Scorpio, which for its part is encouraging us to seek within.

Full Moon in Aries — October 01, 2020, 21:05 UT
Thursday, October 1st, 2020
The Full Moon in Aries is in conjunction with centaur Chiron and sednoid Leleākūhonua. Chiron was the first centaur to be discovered, and at the time of its discovery in 1977, it was the most distant known minor planet. Today it is classified as both a minor planet and a comet. Astrologically Chiron raises awareness and offers the means for holistic healing.
Mars and Eris are retrograding in Aries in exact conjunction with each other. In Greek mythology Eris is the goddess of strife and discord, and the sister of the god of war Ares, the equivalent for the Roman god Mars. The Mars-Eris conjunction is the midpoint of Uranus and the Moon. The midpoint combines the reactive and shaky energies of Uranus and the Full Moon and squares Saturn in Capricorn. We already saw this aspect figure in action in the presidential debate between Trump and Biden the other night.
541132 Leleākūhonua was the third sednoid to be discovered (in 2015) and belongs also to the group of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNO). Members of these distant groups orbit the Sun in the outermost region of the Solar System in long and elongated orbits. There are only three known sednoids so far, but it is suspected that there are many more. All the known ones have perihelia greater than 64 AU. These objects lie outside an apparently nearly empty gap in the Solar System. ETNOs may be influenced by gravitational interactions with a hypothetical Planet Nine, ten times more massive than the Earth and with a diameter two to four times the Earth, and which may be shepherding the orbits of the most distant objects.
Ten years ago astronomer Mike Brown, co-discoverer of Sedna (in 2003), wrote in his blog that he knew that Sedna in its strange orbit was telling us something profound about our solar system, and that to learn more, they would have to find more things like Sedna. The search for those distant icy bodies and for Planet Nine continues.
Mike Brown also wrote: "Sedna could have gotten too close to this Planet X and been given a kick which would have flung it out into a far corner of our solar system. But, like always, nothing can kick you into a far corner and make you stay there. You always come back to the spot where you were kicked." The name of Leleākūhonua compares the object's orbit to the flight of migratory birds and evokes a yearning to be near Earth. The name comes from the Hawaiian creation chant, the Kumulipo.
The orbital period of Leleākūhonua is around 32,000 years. At the moment Leleākūhonua is approaching the Sun and will come to perihelion in 2078. The Earth is our only home. It has lost more than two-thirds of its wildlife populations in the last 50 years – only in one Chiron's round around the Sun. This catastrophic decline caused by the human activity has to be stopped! Leleākūhonua came to show us that the damage is happening too fast and our efforts for saving our planet are too slow. We have to change our ways urgently.

Un problema di ossi (Bone Trouble) è un film del 1940 diretto da Jack Kinney. È il secondo cortometraggio animato della serie Pluto, e il primo in cui la serie abbia tale titolo (nel precedente La famiglia Pluto era intitolata Pluto the Pup). Fu prodotto dalla Walt Disney Productions e uscì negli Stati Uniti il 28 giugno 1940, distribuito dalla RKO Radio Pictures.

Trama
Il piatto di Pluto viene svuotato dagli uccellini, così il cane va a rubare l'osso del bulldog Butch, che sta dormendo profondamente oltre la staccionata. Purtroppo però Butch si sveglia e insegue Pluto. I due arrivano in un luna park, e Pluto si rifugia nella casa degli specchi. Lì trova degli specchi molto particolari che lo deformano in ogni modo, ma quando rincontra Butch è costretto a scappare di nuovo. Ma dopo un breve inseguimento ha l'idea di usare una serie di specchi in modo che i suoi riflessi spaventino Butch. Il piano funziona e Pluto può portarsi via l'osso.

Edizioni home video

DVD
Il cortometraggio è incluso nel DVD Walt Disney Treasures: Pluto, la collezione completa - Vol. 1.

Legal notice served to resume foreign TV channels
A legal notice has been sent to the information secretary and the convener of cable operators association of Bangladesh (COAB) demanding necessary steps within seven days for the retelecasting of all foreign channels in Bangladesh.
Khundkar Hasan Shahriyar, a Supreme Court lawyer, on Sunday sent the notice saying he would take legal actions, including filing of a writ petition, against the respondents in case of showing no response to his legal notice.
The lawyer said also in its notice if the foreign channels are asked to implement ad-free (clean feed) broadcasting then the authorities will have to maintain the same policy in case of the domestic TV channels.
"It was a hasty decision to stop broadcasting without any discussion with foreign channels on how to continue broadcasting in Bangladesh with a clean feed. As a result, millions of people in Bangladesh are being deprived of the opportunity to watch foreign channels even with the required fee," also read the notice.
Stopping the broadcasting of the foreign channels has reduced the people's entertainment facility which is contrary of the Constitution, read the notice, adding that the standard of the programs of the domestic TV channels is very low.
According to the existing Bangladeshi law, foreign channels cannot broadcast advertising. As per the law the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting recently issued an instruction saying that foreign channels with advertisements will not be allowed to broadcast in Bangladesh from October 1.
From midnight of 1 October, viewers browsing foreign channels on their TV screens saw a message informing them that as per a government directive, no foreign channel with advertisements can be broadcast.
Therefore, cable TV operators had to refrain from broadcasting foreign channels until further instructions, according to the message. Cable operators all across the country are showing similar messages to their subscribers. The New Nation

Q: Selenium ChromeDriver - Element is not clickable The following site below recently updated their UI and my existing code no longer works for reasons I cannot figure out. My function (proline_go_to_match1) used to select and click on the game using the PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT where I passed the team name. The team name exists in the link however I am getting the error message pasted below. I have included my code snippet and would greatly appreciate if anyone knows why this happening and how to fix it.
Thank you very much!

Error message:
"Message: element click intercepted: Element ... is not clickable at point (415, 697). Other element would receive the click:
...
"

Code:
def proline_go_to_match1(driver, team):
    try:
        match = WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(
            EC.presence_of_element_located((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, team))
        )
        match.click()
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

proline_driver = webdriver.Chrome()
proline_driver.get('https://prolineplus.olg.ca/en-ca/event-path/?p23795-NBA')

capitalized_team = "TORONTO RAPTORS"
proline_go_to_match1(proline_driver,capitalized_team)

Here I have circled the link I would like click passing "TORONTO RAPTORS"

A: Seems you are close enough.
Instead of presence_of_element_located() you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following locator strategy:

*

*Using PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, f"{capitalized_team}"))).click()

*Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(., '" +capitalized_team+ "')]"))).click()

Update
It's the cookie banner content which blocks your click

Solution
You need to accept the cookies:
driver.get("https://prolineplus.olg.ca/en-ca/event-path/?p23795-NBA")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.cc-btn.cc-dismiss"))).click()
capitalized_team = "TORONTO RAPTORS"
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, f"{capitalized_team}"))).click()

Browser Snapshot:

A: Not sure if this is of use, but you could get the data from the api as opposed to Selenium:
import requests
import pandas as pd
import re
# pip install choice
import choice

url = 'https://www.online.polg.abpo.io/metal/v3/sportsbookdata/current/events/usview'
headers = {
    'X-LVS-HSToken': '9aBYBhGVpb9NCGAmideXXVg4OOns72-U1tVMKw9vWyFftWb69mYm8TUWzepu-MgXcR1TOjgDJW0x_na5eW9ySoDuV4MsBe8j0N8P-ylZeHt82zVkbB3fNUUYmwV1gUmPxWlGtFi7DZRDMbbLAOJ18g=='
    }
payload = {
    'eventPathIds': '23795',
    'eventsPerPage': '5',
    'pageIndex': '0'}

jsonData = requests.get(url, params=payload, headers=headers).json()

eventData = []
for k, v in jsonData['items'].items():
    if 'e' in k:
        temp_dict = v.copy()
        temp_dict.update({'eventId':k})
        eventData.append(temp_dict)

eventIds = {each['desc']:each['eventId'] for each in eventData}

game = choice.Menu(list(eventIds.keys())).ask()
eventId = re.search('(\d.*)', eventIds[game]).group(1)

url = f'https://www.online.polg.abpo.io/metal/v3/sportsbookdata/current/events/{eventId}'
payload= {'extraMarkets': 'true'}
jsonData = requests.get(url, params=payload, headers=headers).json()

results_df = pd.json_normalize(jsonData['items'].values())

Output:
Make a choice:
 0: Dallas Mavericks @ Detroit Pistons
 1: Brooklyn Nets @ New York Knicks
 2: Boston Celtics @ Chicago Bulls
 3: Washington Wizards @ Atlanta Hawks
 4: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Utah Jazz

Enter number or name; return for next page

? 2
