So what happened to the $20 bill? Just how long does it take to remove President Jackson and put in Harriet Tubman?
I believe the Central Valley's bullet train just shot its backers in their feet.
It's amazing the Board of Supervisors is considering a parcel tax to help the homeless. Culver City already has a parcel tax for the Julian Dixon County Library and I'm darn sure there are one or two more that I just don't remember.
Saint Vincent operates the world's largest thrift store. It's 54,000 square feet at 210 North Avenue 21, Los Angeles, CA 90031. (www.svdpln.org).
The Cannibal recently opened to rave reviews for its lamb tartare, matcha liver mousse and grilled eggplant. Check it out at 8850 Washington Blvd., (310) 838-2783.
If you have nothing to do Wednesday through Sunday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., why not travel to 1660 North Highland Avenue at Hollywood Blvd. to see 10,000 authentic showbiz treasures showcasing 100 years of Hollywood in the Hollywood Museum. Call (323) 464-7776 or go to TheHollywoodMuseum.com.
Folks, ever since I started writing this column years ago, articles regarding despicable actions done by law enforcement agencies all over this great country have appeared. Many of you realize the reason was to draw a comparison between those bad cops and the good guys of Culver City. In the 40 or so years that I have lived in town we have all seen the good skills police with which Chief Bixby and others on his team take care of our business.
As such we don't need, nor should we vote to allow, in my opinion, the city Manager to reach out with this power grab to put both fire and police departments under the city manager's control.
If the city hall elite want to claim this is only for efficiency (what a joke), then let us reduce the number of council members from five to three. Don't be fooled, don't be misled, this system is not broken, so why does the city manager need to take control of two departments he knows so very little about?
Many of us are not knowledgeable about Prop. 57. To get Prop 57 on the ballot proponents obtained over one million signatures in less than two months. I'm for 57 because this legislation would take away the power of district attorneys to direct youth into the adult system, and return sentencing power back to the judges. It allows those with non-violent crimes to be paroled before having to serve enhancements. We are requesting your help in passing prop 51- for further questions. Please call Bikla Ochoa at (213) 955-5885.
I recently read about the ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals in New York which stated federal courts could seize state pension-protected funds of corrupt politicians. The court sided with the government's argument that federal law trumps state constitutional protection of retirement funds.
I was looking over the list of the 500 largest delinquent sales and use tax accounts over $100,000 here in California, and much to my surprise at number 57 is Le Faubourg LLC, doing business as Saint Amour at 9725 Culver Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232-2739. The Board of Equalization put the first lien on February 29, 2012. They owe $465,310.89. At number 69 is Sarbco, doing business as Michael's Jewelers at 241 Fox Hills Mall in Culver City, CA, and they owe $535,401.79.
I have been asked by some veterans who are members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) to get the word out regarding the Veterans Administration conducting a health study of Vietnam veterans to include Blue Water Navy veterans. The higher the rate of response, the clearer a picture the VA will get of the percentage and number of Blue Water Navy veterans that are sick from Agent Orange. Reply no later than December 31, 2016.
Marines are all over the world on various operations. For example, on September 7 they were in Australia, Belize, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Libya, Romania and Spain.
For those of us who use the Public Records Act to obtain documents in a timely basis there is good news. A newspaperman filed with the City of Beverly Hills to obtain police department records pertaining to alleged family abuse by Mayor Mirisch in 2008, 2010 and 2011. Their city attorney tried to use the poo poo argument that incident reports were exempt from disclosure. So Mr. Russell Carollo sued, but even before the suit hit the court room and before His Honor put on the black robe, the city of the very rich and famous elected to pony up all papers and an additional $9,357.50 in attorney's fees.

The Evolution of Shopping in the Digital Economy
Earlier this year, The Economist published a special report on The Future of Shopping, with nine articles on the subject. In its overview article, The Economist argued that "a new species of shopper is emerging: less centered on America, more intent on ensuring that what they buy reflects what they believe, and technologically dexterous. This latest incarnation of the global consumer looks likely to change how capitalism works - for the better."
Three major changes are transforming the world of retailing. First, Western Europe and North America are no longer the biggest retail markets; nor do they epitomize the leading edge of retail as has long been the case, with innovations like the department store, the mall, catalogue shopping, and e-commerce. Shoppers are increasingly Asian. "Last year China and America were almost neck-and-neck as the world's biggest retail markets. China's two biggest online marketplaces, Alibaba's Taobao and Tmall, both do more third-party business than Amazon." And Asia's shoppers are now at the frontier of retail, with innovations like livestreaming e-commerce.
A second change is that, beyond low prices, younger shoppers are increasingly influenced by their social, ethical, and political values when making buying decisions. They're selecting which brands to engage with based on their social values like environmental credentials and workplace environment. Well managed firms work hard to establish the kind of positive reputation that attracts people to want to be associated with the brand and its products and services. This is particularly important in our Internet age, which enables a company's actions to be instantly communicated to all. "One way that capitalism adapts to society's changing preferences is through government regulation and laws, which voters influence, at least in democracies. But the dynamic response of companies to the signals that consumers send is a force for change, too," and the reason firms spend considerable time, energy and funds nurturing their brands.
The final big change is the increasingly digitalization of the economy. The explosive growth of mobile devices means that a company can be engaged with its customers not only when they're shopping online, but wherever they are, - at home, at work, or in a store. "More accurate and voluminous data about shopping patterns are breaking down the decades-long relationship between mass consumption and mass production. In its place is a more varied world in which the shopper can decide whether to buy online or in store, whether to shop via platforms or from individual brands, and whether to accept targeted ads or not."
Customized digital interactions enable companies to build deeper ties with their customers than ever before, and thus evolve from a buy-what-we-have to a connected-customer strategy. In addition, producers and consumers can now have a more direct relationship with each other, squeezing middlemen from the supply chain if they add no value.
While the pandemic has boosted online retail sales, the biggest innovations are not in e-commerce but in what The Economist calls The return of one-to-one commerce. A brief history of shopping explains the importance of such an innovation.
The first retail revolution took place in 16th century Elizabethan England, when craftsmen who previously had a one-to-one relationship with their customers set up the first shops where they sold a variety of items produced by different craftsmen.
The second major retail transformation took place a few centuries later when the Industrial Revolution ushered the era of mass production and mass consumption. Factories produced a variety of affordable goods aimed at a growing number of working- and middle-class shoppers, which were sold in stores that grew in size to benefit from economies of scale.
The third retail revolution is now taking place, with the return of a kind of pre-Elizabethan one-to-one relationship between consumer and producer made possible by digital technologies and vast amounts of data. "One-to-one is shorthand for today's upheaval in the world of shopping," notes The Economist. "The consumer has never had so many things to buy, or ways to buy them. New forms of communication via social media, messaging services and apps have brought producers and consumers closer together. Using trillions of gigabytes of data, manufacturers know better than ever what customers want. Their products can be delivered direct to the doorstep. The traditional middleman, who for centuries piled hidden cost on hidden cost, is being squeezed out."
The pandemic increased e-commerce penetration, which in just a few months reached levels not expected for years. However, this e-commerce explosion does not herald the death of the physical store. In 2020, worldwide e-commerce sales were $4.2 trillion, less than 20% of all retail sales. After Covid-19 is brought under control, the pace of e-commerce growth will likely moderate.
But, one-to-one commerce will change the nature of stores, especially in the West, because the current retail infrastructure was not built for the digital age. "America has 24 square feet of retail space per person, … three times as much as Britain and six times as much as China. In America more than 8,700 stores closed last year. … In Britain 16,000 stores shut and 183,000 retail jobs were lost. … China's embrace of e-commerce reflects the ubiquity of smartphones, the shortage of attractive shopping centres beyond the big cities, and high urban density, which cuts the cost of delivery."
The future will be both online and offline. Retailers have been developing omnichannel strategies, where physical and digital shopping seamlessly interact for the benefit of their customers. Consumers will gain greater convenience, giving them the choice of shopping physically or online depending on their preferences. On the other hand, retailers have been struggling to make omnichannel both efficient and profitable. "They have to pay not only for the costs of their stores but also for a form of digital 'rent' to display their goods high up on online search channels such as Facebook. They must not only pay for delivery but also allow customers to pick goods up in their shops. And they face a growing nightmare of processing returns that now cost retailers more than $1trn globally every year."
Omnichannel strategies are particularly challenging in the supermarket industry. The industry had the biggest growth in online activity of any retail category, - rising by almost 50% in America in 2020, a trend that's expected to outlast the pandemic. But few retailers are likely to make money from selling groceries online, because of the higher costs of picking and delivering the grocery items as opposed to having customers pick and take them home themselves. "In a business such as food retailing that already had margins as low as 2-4% before going online, only the best capitalised and most efficient are guaranteed to survive the online onslaught."
What about the future of retail? Pessimists worry about dead shopping malls, abandoned department stores, millions of unemployed shop workers, and dwindling retail tax revenue. Optimists, on the other hand, look forward to the potential for democratizing retailing and enabling brands to reach customers directly without paying big mark-ups, while creating a more frictionless economy, with smoother pricing, fewer barriers to entry and more innovation. "Inevitably the transition will incorporate bits of both," but let's hope that the optimists' views prevail.

Fortunately, my dad recovered and my family resumed the treasure hunt at the factory outlet.
There are so many discounting vouchers and coupons available online and offline. It is quite confusing, and we had to do lotsa mental sums to decide which voucher/coupon to use.
Online Coupon from Polo Ralph Lauren.
Bought my white Polo Ralph Lauren T-shirt there!!
Around 20 years ago, my friend wore this white polo T-Shirt which costed S$80-100 (which was around my 1 month of pocket money). I told myself that I would buy that White Polo T-Shirt one day too. Early this year, I went to the Ralph Lauren Boutique in Takashimaya (Singapore) to check it out, and the price tag was S$290 (US$210). I could afford it, but my rational mind told me not to buy it.
More interestingly, how certain things in the past kept lingering in mind?
Poor girls. Felice is obviously tired of watching videos from youtube.
We took turns to take care of the girls.
In fact, half of the purchases are gifts to friends and family members.
It's tiring!!! My mother bought 4-5 bags from Couch as gifts among many other things.
Went to Bellagio for the Buffet dinner to celebrate Father's Day.

Bias concerns
By Colin Bobb-Semple25 March 2013
Joshua Rozenberg's article 'Balancing act' (4 March) discusses Lady Hale's lecture on equality in the judiciary and the question of 'positive discrimination in senior judicial appointments'. The emphasis appears to be on the appointment of more women, but there is little discussion of African, Caribbean and Asian applicants.
Lord Irvine devoted much time endeavouring to persuade lawyers of African, Caribbean and Asian descent to apply for judicial posts. He frequently uttered the mantra 'don't be shy, apply'. Why then were few lawyers from such backgrounds appointed to the bench? A major factor may be the reluctance of some to risk suffering rejection, as their forebears had experienced.
Another may be the consciousness of these lawyers that, notwithstanding the history of African enslavement and indenture of their ancestors, many of their forebears were staunch supporters of the Crown and fought for Britain in two world wars. Substantial numbers of such lawyers are engaged in immigration and asylum, family, employment and criminal practice.
They may be conscious of the racially exclusionary application of a series of legislative measures over the last 50 years, commencing with the Commonwealth Immigrants acts of 1962 and 1968, which were designed to restrict immigration of Africans, Caribbeans and Asians to the shores of Britain, while on the other hand, they observe that currently over 502 million European citizens enjoy freedom of entry to the UK. They may also be conscious of the feeling of 'not belonging' or 'otherness' when they represent distraught clients, relatives and friends rejected at the borders, detained and/or deported.
Statistics confirm that more than two-thirds of judicial review cases in 2011 related to immigration and asylum cases, the vast majority of applicants being of African, Caribbean and Asian origin. It is submitted that there can be no 'balancing act', as few lawyers of African, Caribbean and Asian descent are likely to be keen to join the senior judiciary in the implementation of laws and immigration rules which they might consider to be arbitrary, unfair, unjust and racially discriminatory. See for example the pre-entry English language tests case, in which it was argued that the provisions were racially discriminatory: R (on the application of Chapti & Others) v SSHD [2011] EWHC 3370 (Admin).

On 27 June, the leadership of the University of Maribor signed solemnly the first agreement on co-financing the participation in sports competitions for 2017 based on the open procedure for co-financing the participation of Maribor University students in sports competitions.
The first agreement for 300 euros was signed with Aleš Zver, a student of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Maribor, a member of the Slovenian national track and field team. Zver has 20 country champion titles and 3 national records.
The right to receive co-financing is granted to students of Bachelor and Master Programmes, who are not employed with the university by the time of signing the agreement. All the necessary documentation is published on the website of the University of Maribor. The deadline for submission of applications expires on 10 July at noon.
Students should send an application to the University of Maribor, Sports Committee, Slomšek Square 15, 2000 Maribor, marked "Request for co-financing – Sport – DO NOT OPEN!" (Slovene: Univerza v Mariboru, Odbor za šport, Slomškov trg 15, 2000 Maribor, marked "Prošnja za sofinanciranje – šport – NE ODPIRAJ!"). The applications sent by registered mail and stamped by the post office before 10 July as well as the applications sent by regular mail and received by the Maribor University administration until noon time on 10 July are subject to consideration.
The participation in sports events is not co-financed if it is already funded by the Slovenian University Sports Association (SUSA). The participants of these competitions should apply for co-financing separately to the Sports Committee at the University of Maribor, except for participation in the Universiade, when the Sports Committee itself receives information about the students representing the University from SUSA and determines the amount of co-financing.
Separate applications should be as well submitted to the Sports Committee in the event of co-financing a student team participating in national, inter-national and interuniversity competitions. However, the team should consist only of students from the University of Maribor.


The past sorts of gambling lines are stocks and Spread stakes or proposal bets. With stocks stakes you might be wagering in a meeting at the foreseeable future such as who'll acquire the BCS championshipgame. A prop bet is who'll evaluate in the BCS tournament or who'll get the coin toss.
5Dimes can be an internet gaming site which also supplies a large number of methods to gamble. Along with their own sports book, they also operate an internet casino, a racebooka lottery space a poker room together with a selection of games which you could play to get the money. Along with amazing college football gambling odds, 5dimes offers gamblers 2-4 hours each day customer care and additionally the capacity to place stakes either on line or through phone. That really is fairly convenient if you would like to generate a bet on the football match however, you're not close a computer during the moment.
Nothing has ever altered the whole world and also how we consider it than the globally Internet. It's tough to feel the web was doing blossom for under the usual complete decade; even the facts is people now have started to rely upon it at almost any region of our own lives.
Even the range of the Web might be sensed in almost any business, and also the sport gambling business is surely no exception. The truth is that internet gambling has enlarged the entire world of sport gambling significantly. Those desperate to earn a bet on the favourite club or maybe attempt generating an income from gambling on athletics nolonger must discover a neighborhood bookie and hope their own chances and pay outs; anybody who wishes to could currently get on the internet and gamble using a publication virtually any place on earth fifa55.
Which would be the internet gambling possibilities?
OThe on-line sports betting novel: This really can be actually the conventional type of sport gambling, only completed on the world wide web. Substantial and minimal bookmakers possess an online presence; you could discover chances, lines, payouts, and also whatever else that you would like using only the click of the button.
OSports gambling markets: This really is a radical idea from the sport gambling marketplace, the one that's just been permitted from the web. Betting deals are a pairing of document friendly and sharing"pub friend" sport wagers. In the event you would like to guess over the group but would like to generate your own personal chances, then you could goto a market and indicate your own bet. All you really desire will be to get somebody to carry you upon it!
OEstablished titles are definitely preferable. 1 strategy to truly feel secure on your stakes is always to start looking to get a sports novels who've property established financing. These can be enrolled by a nation, at the usa it will likely be in their nation of Nevada," and they'll soon be accredited. Pick out the opportunity to find additional advice on the length of time that the publication was around functioning before expecting !
OWhen that it regards an market, greater is best! In the event that you prefer the on the web gambling activity provided by way of a gambling trade, then you definitely would like to search for an trade that's a great deal of different clients. This means that your wager is far more inclined to become studied. You can find fewer gambling exchanges compared to internet bookmakers, therefore usually customer-base is not a lot of issue.
Ultimately certainly one of the primary strengths to internet gambling is you might have the occasion to search around to the optimal/optimally price bets available on the market. Many novels will probably bill until the second lines and chances, and therefore there isn't to pay attention for only 1 wager. People that prefer arbitrage gaming specifically adore the capacity to benefit from hundreds of choices.
In the very first round of any fantasy football draft you should only have one goal: to decide on the most powerful player readily available. I normally enable this goal to carry over for my next 3 4 rounds but your draft plan is your selection. But none the less it is an established fact that with your first pick you should have safety as the primary goal. That being said that I will run through the best players in order in their regular draft position, and also let you know a little about these and offer them a security grade of 1 10.
Tom Brady- Brady has just as good of a chance as Rodgers and better. Why? Because he has improved options including Gronk, Welker, along with Lloyd. Brady was a premier 3 quarterback for the past few years and contains his best group of recipients this past year with less talent at running than previously. He'll throw it a whole lot.
Calvin Johnson- Even though I'm not big on accepting wide receivers at the first round Johnson has safety to a qualification. Although his production relies on Stafford's health and ability to make him the ball (which has not been a problem). If you're superstitious then watch out for this madden curse should not target this person at the conclusion of round 1.
Matt Forte- After completing his big contract deal Forte can currently concentrate on the area and with the addition of Brandon Marshall to stretch the field Forte may have a lot of room to run this particular year. While Forte has fought to score touchdowns before, look at guys like Ray Rice who struggled with exactly the identical difficulty subsequently broke out and scored them in bunches. This can be Forte's year to score and with little injury concern try to find Forte to be described as a top 5 fantasy running and a sneak at number 10.
Well that's how the topten breaks this down past year. Remember you wish to minimize risk and supply a stable of grading efforts to your team this past year.


In his concept design called "Colorless", the can has been designed with a convex logo instead of Coca Cola's signature red and white painted-on design.
According to Harc, he said that by stripping away the colors it would reduce energy and efforts to separate the toxic paint from the aluminum cans during the recycling process.
What do you think of Harc's minimalistic design for Coca Cola cans?

Electrostatic charging of hospital personnel and patients during various activities increases the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) malfunctions of medical devices and the likelihood of patients' adverse events. Therefore, the test level for ESD immunity of medical devices, specified in the IEC 60601-1-2 standard needs to reflect the reasonably maximum electrostatic voltages during usage. This study investigated the effects of material combinations and relative humidity on the body voltage while performing two routine clinical activities of lying down on a hospital bed and transferring to a bed using a sliding board. The peak body voltages in nearly 50% of the lying down experiments and 40% of sliding tests exceeded the test voltage level in the IEC 60601-1-2 standard (i.e., 15 kV). Using cotton blankets in lying down experiments and nylon sheets during sliding experiments resulted in 50% and 40% larger median than the median including all combinations, respectively. Sliding boards with antistatic coating reduced the peak body voltage by 24% on average, however, 33% of the tests still exceeded 15 kV. Based on the findings, recommendations are provided for healthcare facilities and medical device manufacturers to mitigate the risks of ESD malfunctions.

There have been 231 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed in the Republic, according to the Department of Health.
The latest figures bring the total amount of cases here to 29,534.
No further deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours, meaning the number of coronavirus-related deaths here stands at 1,777.
Of the latest cases, 69% concern people who are under 45 years of age.
48% of cases are confirmed to be associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case, while 54 have been identified as community transmission.
Regarding the new cases, 133 are in Dublin, 18 are in Kildare, 13 are in Limerick, eight are in Offaly, and seven are in both Galway and Wicklow.
There are six cases each in Meath and Cork, and five each in Donegal, Cavan, and Waterford.
The remaining 18 cases in Carlow, Clare, Kerry, Laois, Leitrim, Louth, Mayo, Monaghan, Sligo, and Tipperary.
Dublin warning
The Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn said: "While there is a significant number of cases in Dublin today, it is important to look at the day's figures in the context of our 7 and 14-day incidence rates.
"NPHET pays close attention to trends and patterns in the data over time in order to analyse the progression of COVID-19 both across the country and in particular areas or settings.
"However, it is now really important that people in Dublin keep their social contacts as low as possible.
"It is also vitally important that if you feel unwell, you self-isolate immediately.
"Phone your GP without delay if you have a concern. Know the symptoms to pay close attention to - cough, shortness of breath, fever, loss of sense of taste or smell."
He added: "Given the increase in the number of cases in Dublin, the HSE has opened two pop-up COVID-19 swabbing centres in Dublin this weekend, at Croke Park and at Castleknock Health Centre.
"Please come forward for testing if you have any concerns. Remember that if you do need a test, it will be free."

This Arts Council England scheme showed its commitment to encouraging new writing talent by awarding bursaries for winners to buy time to complete a literary work-in- progress. Northbank designed the accompanying anthology to the Writers' Awards scheme for three years. As before, each book contained extracts from the work of authors alongside portraits by photographer Kelvin Rogers. Here, additional shots of their writing hands provided a further insight into the personality of the writers and provided the event with a strong visual theme for both the book and the awards event itself.

Something Unbound – Polished Critical
January 20, 2020 January 21, 2020 _luca.jr_Luca
– Their Eyes Were Watching God –
By Zora Neale Hurston
"The significance of an individual's attempt to live unconstrained by convention or circumstance…"
Convention can be defined as the traditional way something is usually done, especially when it comes to the ways of a culture or a society. They create a common 'code of conduct' for a group of people which defines what actions are to be considered acceptable for certain social roles. For example 'the ideal wife' is conventionally meant to be the one to cook dinner, love her husband, and stay silent and submissive. However, being tasked with fulfilling these societal expectations creates a fear in people — a fear of being different. This fear forces individuals to act 'appropriately' because the prospect of being different in a society brings the prospect of being judged and unliked. Individuals would much rather give up their own happiness and be constrained conventional ideals than fail at their responsibility of pleasing others' expectations of them. This idea of being constrained by convention is demonstrated by Zora Hurston's character Janie in her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. Janie, being an African-American woman in the early 1900s, faces the constraints of conventional roles from an early age; nonetheless, her desire to live (and love) freely, wants to be unconstrained by convention. Her responsibility to individuals like her grandmother, Nanny, and Joe Starks force conventional rules upon her which consistently trump her responsibility to her own happiness; but once she is freed of such roles and forces in her life, she is finally able to advocate for her own unconstrained, and happy, lifestyle. Hurson, through her developing characters and plot, demonstrates how one's responsibility for their own happiness is compromised by their responsibility to convention when they take on a higher responsibility for pleasing others expectations of them. Consequently, they will live a life deprived of joy and will continually be constrained by the will of others until they actively seek their own happiness by taking a greater responsibility for themselves. Once they finally are able to take a greater consideration for their own life than they do for others, they are able to achieve their own desires of happy through an unconstrained and unconventional life.
When one's pursuit of convention is based off of their responsibility of others, they will compromise their own happiness to please the desires of those they respect. A few days before being forcibly married to Logan killick's, Janie justifies that, "…she would love Logan after they were married. She could see no way for it to come about, but Nanny and the old folks had said it, so it must be so." (Hurson 53) Here Janie convinces herself that, because her Nanny (alongside her elderly companions) seems to always know what's right for her, her life with Logan Killicks must eventually be happy. However, she doesn't know that for herself. She instead trusts her Nanny as she was the only one who ever took care of Janie in her youth. Over the years, Janie developed a respect for Nanny's judgment as she believes that Nanny will always do what is best for her. So, Janie goes along with whatever Nanny wants her to do because she believes that pleasing and honoring Nanny is her highest responsibility, even at the cost of her own happiness. Because of this, Janie is ignorantly controlled by following the conventional role of what a good girl must be, according to her grandmother; she must never step out of line or do anything wrong because that is not what her Nanny deems to be acceptable in their way of life. This conventional standard is reinforced every time she does step out of line, like when she was caught kissing Johnny Taylor: her Nanny yelled at her and condemned her to the forced marriage, a final resort to secure a life of convention before Janie's blossoming desire for love ruins her reputation. And Janie goes along with it. She accepts the conventional marriage to a respectable husband (Logan Killicks) not for her own joy or by her own will, but simply to please the desires of Nanny. Individuals will always have a wish for an unconstrained life (for Janie this unconstrained life comes with true love). However, individual's life choices will constantly be controlled by their responsibility to please others. This creates a life of conventionality as they will lead their actions with the intent of doing what would be socially accepted to please the wants of those they feel responsible for. They will disregard their own happiness to ignorantly continue their life constraint by convention.
When one believes that their conventional life is all they will ever have, freedom from their responsibility to others comes as a surprise to them; consequently, they then take a greater initiative to be responsible for what they want to ensure their happiness. After disobeying her grandmother's request to stay with Logan Killicks, by following her heart yet another time, Janie ended up marrying Joe Starks. However, Janie was again forced into submission by Joe much in the same way that her grandmother did, but this time she had a greater responsibility to others because she was not only trying to please the wants of Joe, but also was trying to please the wants of the entire town. Because of this she was again forced into a life controlled by convention as she tried to fit the conventional role of being the 'mayor's wife'. She made Joe dinner, cleaned the house, and attended the shop, always aware that she had to put on an image of what the town, and more so, what Joe wanted her to be. The worst of it being the fact that she was unable to leave as she still held her responsibility to Joe, no matter how much he constrained her happiness, she could not leave for fear of the condemnation that would follow her and Joe for not having the 'conventional marriage that a mayor must have'. It wasn't until Joe's death, many years later, that she was relieved of such a role to the town. Though she still had to put on a facade of grief for the people to believe that she fit the conventional standard of being a good wife, Janie was finally free and she loved it. The narrator even states that, "…she liked being lonesome for change. The freedom feeling was fine." Janie, finally free of the one person she was bound to by convention, begins to find her own responsibility to herself. However, at this point in her life she is hesitant on marrying or running off with just anybody because she doesn't want to fall into the same constrained life of convention she has lived all her life. When one's entire life is surrounded by convention, a taste of the unconstrained freedom feels, "fine," but not amazing because they become weary of their future actions for fear furthering their involvement with others. The road to upholding one's own responsibility to themselves (and their happiness) comes at the cost of having to let go of their responsibility for others and their life of constant appeasement. Janie finds this responsibility to herself by following the one thing she has ever really wanted in her life – true love.
When one has full responsibility over themselves and thus full control over their life, they can no longer be constrained by the conventional roles of society, allowing them to freely pursue their happiness. When Janie was pestered by worried comments over her breaking conventional standards and running off with Tea Cake (a younger man), she stands her ground by saying, "Dis ain't no business proposition and no race after property and titles. Dis is uh love game. Ah done lived Grandma's way, now Ah means to live mine." Janie is finished with living up to her grandmother's conventional roles of being an appropriate woman and now instead follows her own will. She has no desire to live up to societal standards of living the prosperous ideal of The American Dream but instead decides to follow her own dream – a dream of love. By running away with Tea Cake, Janie shows her first act of defiance while living unconstrained by convention. Being a rich, goodlooking, woman, makes Janie the target for potential husbands who share her wealthy status while still being older than her (as the conventional wife was often much younger than her dear old husband). However, she decides to run away with young, broke, but devilishly charming Tea Cake who breaks the conventions of society as he pleases. Janie falls in love with him, and for the first time in her life makes a choice for herself; she didn't run away with Tea Cake to please him, it was simply to make herself happy. Individuals cannot be constrained to society's conventions if they aren't constrained by anybody, and by living with a man as free-spirited as she was, Janie finally was able to enjoy the soul purpose of her unconstrained life: being happy. Individuals who decide to be happy for themselves, unconcerned about their obligation to others, will forever be unconstrained by any boundaries which conventional standards would normally put forth. By letting go of their responsibility for others, individuals are able to focus on their own wants and needs ultimately leading to a more fulfilled and happy life.
Through the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston displays that as one takes a greater responsibility for themselves, they allow to live unconstrained by conventional standards. Initially they may not realize how constrained their life is by such conventions, but through more and more independent actions they eventually discover the freedom and happiness that follows self-responsibility.

OVERVIEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOCUS
PRESS RELEASES MEDIA COVERAGE IOWN GLOBAL FORUM MEMBER MEETING 2020 IOWN GLOBAL FORUM MEMBER MEETING – FEBRUARY 2021
MEMBERS HOW TO JOIN STEERING COMMITTEES WORKING GROUPS MEMBERSHIP FAQS
FAQ GLOSSARY FACT SHEETS WHITE PAPERS WEBINARS
NTT, Intel and Sony Establish New Global Forum Dedicated to Realizing the Communications of the Future
Delivering on the promise of a truly smart and connected world, where we enjoy an environment that improves the way humans live and interact with technology, requires a significant shift in computing, communications and network infrastructure. Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), Intel Corporation (Intel) and Sony Corporation (Sony) today announced that they will create a new industry forum, the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN*) Global Forum.
The global forum's objective is to accelerate the adoption of a new communication infrastructure that will bring together an all photonics network infrastructure including silicon photonics, edge computing, and wireless distributed computing to meet our future data and computing requirements through the development of new technologies, frameworks, specifications and reference designs, in areas such as:
Photonics R&D, including photonic devices of the future, photonic network equipment and end-to-end architecture, powered by advances in photonics-electronics convergence technologies. This will significantly reduce power consumption and enable instant access and response by shortening latency times and broadening transmission capacity.
Distributed computing, which is expected to be increasingly critical for computing across networks, leveraging both AI and workloads that will be dynamic and distributed.
Use cases and best practices for a smart world and enabling technologies, such as Digital Twin Computing (a computing paradigm that enables humans and things in the real world to be recreated and interact without restrictions in cyberspace), R&D in human behavior and society modeling, large-scale simulations and next-generation "real" UI/UX device technologies.
Next-generation communications have the potential to improve many aspects of life, ranging from remote healthcare, disaster prevention, education, automated driving, finance, entertainment/sports and industrial manufacturing. IOWN's aim is to deliver the next generation of communication infrastructure that will allow as many people as possible to take advantage of this future.
Technology, telecommunications and other industry organizations will be invited to join the forum. NTT, Intel and Sony, with their industry leadership and expertise in these technology areas, will act as founding members. In the coming months, NTT, Intel and Sony will select the initial board of the IOWN Global Forum to jointly kick off operations.
IOWN Global Forum will be based in the U.S. and membership opportunities are currently available to interested parties.
Executive Statements
Jun Sawada CEO NTT
President and CEO, NTT
NTT has a long history in photonics-related R&D and has achieved cutting-edge results in
fields like silicon photonics and optoelectronic convergence. Based on these technologies, NTT aims
to power the next generation of technology innovation and solve many of today's societal challenges,
such as ever-increasing power consumption. We will bring our leading R&D expertise to foster the
photonics revolution and unlock new technologies to ultimately enable a smart world, where
technology becomes so "natural" that people are unaware of its presence. NTT is looking forward to
collaborating with its best-in-class partners and realizing a smart world.
Bob Swan
CEO Intel
Digital transformation and the growth of data is driving an infrastructure build out that will dwarf the
first era of the cloud defined by hyperscale data centers. We are using information technology now in
completely new ways that demand we move, store and process data even faster, more securely and often
closer to the person using the service. The combination of superfast networking and pervasive
high-performance computing – the edge infrastructure to deliver smart services anywhere, anytime – can
only be achieved with a profoundly new mindset shared across a global ecosystem. The IOWN collaboration
is an important step forward. A vision of this magnitude can only be achieved with global leaders across
industries. Intel is honored to join forces with NTT and Sony in this industry-wide journey to help
define the future of technology.
Kenichiro Yoshida
President and CEO, Sony
Based on our Purpose to "Fill the world with emotion, through the power of creativity and
technology," at Sony we work closely with creators to help them realize their vision through
technology, and deliver compelling content to their fans around the world. The high-capacity,
low-latency, energy efficiency and flexibility that IOWN offers, opens up exciting new possibilities
in terms of connecting creators with users, bringing together people with people, and sharing highly
realistic entertainment in real-time. We are proud to stand together with NTT and Intel as we embark
on the establishment of this forum, and look forward to working with them and many other partners
going forward, in order to create new value.

The Griffith Observatory has arguably one of the best views to see the entire Los Angeles skyline along with the Hollywood sign. There's free parking and it's open to the public 24/7. People by the hundreds come here daily to hike and explore the grounds. It's nestled on the side of a mountain viewing the city. For the best views go early in the morning before the smog begins to settle in. My favorite months in LA are Oct and Nov as it's the clearest sky's and tourism is low. As soon as you begin to drive up the winding roads, tunes up and feel the warm sun you'll begin to go right into vacation mode. The lawn in the front is an amazing place for views and a picnic(yes food is allowed on the property). This is a dog friendly area as well so bring the family dog along for the ride! Since the observatory sits in the mountains a bit there's no foods places when you get to the top, however before you start your drive you might want to check out this Los Angeles vegan spot called Green Leaves Vegan. My recommendation would be the pumpkin entree with veggies, cashews and some added tofu! They'll have everything you need to get you going for a great day in the sun. This should be at the top of your vegan travel destinations list for sure!
