This video was just released from Cabo San Lucas' Holiday Inn Express lobby. Newsmen were in the lobby during the eye of the storm when it was calm. Suddenly the storm winds returned but from the opposite direction. The video shows the dangers (flying couches!) of being exposed to this kind of storm.
Winds reaching 135 mph lashed the coast of Baja Mexico yesterday bring damaging surf and tidal surge. Hurricane Odile was rated a Category 4 hurricane when it struck the peninsula. The resort heavy area of Cabo San Lucas took a direct hit from the storm and reports are just starting to come in about damages to the area.
You can expect widespread power outages, downed utility lines, and structural damage to buildings at the least. Timeshare resorts in the area are yet to report the extent of the damages to their facilities but you can be sure they will be back in business as soon as they can. The fall tourist season is starting and everything is being done to expedite repairs and restoration of roads, utilities, and services.
Pueblo Bonito Rose Resort, Hacienda del Mar, Pueblo Bonito Resort Los Cabos, Club Regina Los Cabos, Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach, Villa Del Palmar Cabo, Playa Grande Resort, Finisterra Club and Resort, Fiesta Americana Vacation Club at Cabo del Sol, and Club Cascadas de Baja.
Here's more details from weather.com: "About 30,000 tourists were being put up in temporary shelters in hotels and Los Cabos International Airport was closed. Emergency officials reported that 135 people were treated for minor injuries from flying glass or falling objects, but there were no serious injuries or deaths so far.
In Colonia Unidad Real, a neighborhood that sprang up years ago in a former creek bed, hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed with debris scattered everywhere.
Yes timeshare owners should be concerned. If you have vacations scheduled in the near future (six months) try searching forums or message boards for property owners at your resort who are talking about the status of the resort. Phone lines and other communication will be down for a while.
Reports are also coming in that the government has sent in troops to secure the area to protect from looting and further losses.
Hello, We have airfare to Cabo Sept 27. Our lodging was Villa ParMar & Americana Fiesta Club. Just wondering if there is a site to get Real info on what will be open when so we can make other arrangements. Thank you, Neil.

1290 (MCCXC) var ett normalår som började en söndag i den Julianska kalendern.

Händelser

Hösten
September eller oktober – Den nu sjuåriga prinsessan Margareta, som 1286 har valts till regerande drottning av Skottland, påbörjar nu överfarten från Norge, där hon har befunnit sig hos sin far Erik prästhatare fram tills nu. Hon avlider dock i Orkney, utan att ha satt sin fot på skotsk mark och utan att ha blivit krönt i Scone, varför hon inte alltid räknas som skotsk regent. När den skotska Dunkeldätten därmed är helt utdöd utbryter en tronföljdskris i Skottland och inte förrän i slutet av 1292 får Skottland en ny kung.

December
18 december
Den svenske kungen Magnus Ladulås avlider på Näs slott på Visingsö. Efter sin död förs han till Stockholm och begravs i Riddarholmskyrkan, en symbolisk handling, som visar att rikets politiska centrum nu ligger i Mälardalen.
Hans son Birger Magnusson, som redan har utsetts till tronföljare, blir kung av Sverige, men då han är omyndig får han en förmyndarregering, ledd av marsken Torgils Knutsson.

Okänt datum
Påven utser Åbobiskopen Johannes till ny svensk ärkebiskop.
Sveriges första helgeandshus grundas i Uppsala. Grundaren är Andreas And. Helgeandshus var dåtidens fattig- och sjukhus.
Troligtvis sammanställs "Skänningeannalerna" i Skänninges dominikanerkloster detta år. De behandlar åren 1208-1288.
Andreas III blir kung i Ungern.

Födda
Anna av Böhmen, drottning av Böhmen
Konstantia av Portugal, drottning av Kastilien
Margareta av Burgund, drottning av Frankrike och drottning av Navarra

Avlidna
 21 maj – Johan Odulfsson, svensk ärkebiskop 1281–1284
 8 juni – Beatrice Portinari
 September eller oktober – Margareta, regerande drottning av Skottland sedan 1286
 28 november – Eleonora av Kastilien, drottning av England sedan 1272 (gift med Edvard I)
 18 december – Magnus Ladulås, kung av Sverige sedan 1275 (död på Visingsö)

Over 10,000 people including graduates, family, and friends gathered in the Gesling Stadium for Carnegie Mellon University's (CMU) 2009 Commencement.
At the conclusion of his first year of Shlichus as director of Chabad of CMU, Rabbi Shlomo Silverman received the honor of giving the Invocation at the beginning of the ceremony.
Dressed in the formal regalia of cap and gown, Rabbi Silverman addressed the crowd, saying, "You have been given the power to change the world for the good…" and charging them with the challenge of making this world a better place as well as blessing them with much success in their futures.

Well, here we are: at the bottom of the barrel under forty feet of slag. In a few days' time, we'll know our fate: the five-alarm fire of Trump Rule (oh, how those police unions are chomping at the bit!) or the Clinton Age of Hyper-War (oh, how those neocons are chomping at the bit!). In either case, the entrenched coagulation of corporate interests and war profiteers that have strangled the peace, prosperity and prospects of the American people will not be budged an inch.
The change that people are so desperately hungry for — so hungry that that some of them might well elect an Establishment insider whose sinister clowning makes him appear to be a 'rebel' — will not come. Thus their bitterness will grow deeper, more sour, erupting more and more often in physical violence: from militarized police against protestors, from Trump-empowered racists (if he wins or loses), from extremist militias, from angry, maddened people on every side. And of course there will be more — much more — of the horrific, never-ending, globe-spanning violence of the bipartisan Terror War that churns on and on, no matter who is sitting temporarily in the White House.
It doesn't matter that many if not most of the practitioners and functionaries of this system "believe" in its rightness.
It doesn't matter that brutal neoliberal nostrums and extremist imperial notions have become religious dogmas for those who see themselves as the "meritocracy." It doesn't matter if the leaders and factotums genuinely believe in the "exceptionalism" they preach or if they are cynical power-seekers. It doesn't matter if they actually believe their rapacious financial machinations are reflections of the "natural law" of the "the market" that will eventually benefit all, or if they know themselves to be what they really are: ugly souls disfigured by greed. The end result has been the same: a long series of deliberate choices by a bipartisan elite that have hollowed out the lives and communities and futures of millions of Americans, and created a living hell of war, ruin and hatred over much of the earth.
This is a system that has delegitimized itself, a system that has undermined its own institutions. Through its own actions, it has rotted out the foundations of trust and reason which once upheld it.
But it's been accompanied at every step by the collusion and cowardice of the putative opposition. The so-called New Democrats, exemplified by the Clintons, jettisoned concern for the common good to embrace "centrist" and "technocratic" policies: i.e., to adopt the neoliberal dogma that unbridled pursuit of private profit by a connected elites will somehow, someday, lead to general prosperity. The idea that the party should fight to improve the lives of ordinary people in the here and now, to fight for their quality of life in a genuine, substantive way, came to be seen as old-hat, a quaint and fusty notion of has-beens and dreamers who didn't understand the way the world really worked. A true, savvy "moderate" knows you must compromise every ideal, show yourself to be a willing and avid servant of the monied interests and the militarists, in order to gain power so you can … make a few cosmetic changes around the edges, a few little social improvements here and there (but only — of course! — in "partnership" with private interests), but never, ever challenge the system at its core.
In 2008, the desperate electorate turned to a figure presented to them as an outsider who would at last bring real change. He had the trappings of difference — a black man with a Muslim name, who spoke eloquently of peace and social justice, who most people thought was far to the left but voted for him anyway. But Barack Obama was of course a meritocratic "centrist" to his core. Riding an enormous wave of popularity, and a strong Congressional majority, he proceeded to … bail out Wall Street fraudsters and finaglers with tax money and create a health care system based on the plan of a rightwing think-tank that prioritized corporate profit — and probably killed the chance for a genuinely public health care system for generations, if not for good.
He also doubled down on the Terror War, expanding it to more countries, extended Bush's death squads, helped destroy nations like Libya and Yemen (thus spawning more chaos and terror), expanded illegal surveillance of the populace (and the world) to an extent beyond the wildest dreams of the Stasi or KGB. And after saving Big Money from itself and securing the guaranteed profits of the healthcare-insurance corporate complex, he spent most of his time on the domestic front trying to strike a "grand bargain" with Republicans to cut Social Security and Medicare.

RADA Attenborough Campaign
The RADA Attenborough Campaign launched to allow us to continue to produce some of the world's best actors and theatre production specialists for generations to come.
The transformation of RADA's central London campus is a much-needed refurbishment of its buildings to make sure that our world-leading training is matched by its facilities.
We are now working to develop detailed designs, and more recently sought the expertise of management consultant company, Avison Young, to support us in reviewing the project.
We want to make best use of the space available and ensure that it still meets our future needs, given the evolution of our curriculum. Our goal remains to make sure that our students have facilities to match our best-practice, world-leading training, and we will keep you updated as the review progresses.
To discuss how you can support the campaign please contact:

In House/
Facebook Sued by Two Employees for Race Discrimination
By William Vogeler, Esq. on December 01, 2016 | Last updated on March 21, 2019
According to a complaint filed against Facebook, a manager called employees "n****r" and "monkey." He also referred to one African-American as a "lazy n****r who wanted everything handed to him," the suit alleges. Robert Baron Duffy and Robert Louis Gary responded by filing racial discrimination claims against the company.
Duffy, a former operations manager at the company's North Carolina facility, and Gary, a night shift manager there, also claim they were paid less than their Caucasian colleagues. They allege the company failed to adequately address their discrimination and retaliation claims after they made internal complaints.
Oh No, He Didn't!
"It's important that these things not happen and it's important that management take it seriously and address them when they do," said Sonya Smallets of San Francisco's Minnis & Smallets, which represents the plaintiffs.
Filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose, their complaint seeks damages under the Civil Rights Act, 42 USC 1981. It alleges that 2% of Facebook's workers are African-American, compared to 12% in the U.S. population. Gary said in the complaint that he complained about discrimination, but it was fruitless.
"I'm in a situation where I feel like I have not been getting the same treatment concerning compensation like the rest of the employees here who are of a different race," he said. "I believe the reason I have been treated this way is because I'm African-American and they never expected for me to say anything."
Oh Yes, He Did!
Facebook apparently acknowledged problems with the manager, Wayne Hawkins, who allegedly called Gary "a lazy n****r." However, the company did not admit liability for his actions.
"As soon as we were made aware of Wayne Hawkins' behavior, we investigated and took quick action to terminate his employment and provided extensive anti-bias, anti-harassment, and anti-discrimination training to all data center employees nationwide," Facebook spokeswoman Bertie Thompson said.
This suit is a reminder that companies need to diligently enforce anti-discrimination and harassment policies. Lawsuits of this kind can cause serious damage to a company's reputation. Taking swift action to deter any form of discrimination is absolutely essential.

As you will see, The Teaching Gap compares mathematics instruction in the United States, Japan, and Germany on the basis of data collected through the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). You might be surprised (or not) that the United States does not compare favorably. But it is important that you understand that The Teaching Gap is not about a contest. Rather it is about trying to learn more about us by examining instruction in other countries. As Stigler and Hiebert say repeatedly, mathematics instruction is a cultural phenomenon, and coming to understand one's culture is like a fish coming to understand water. A creature cannot even notice its all-pervasive environment until it experiences life outside it. Our educational culture is so all-pervasive that there are important aspects of it that we cannot notice without experiencing cultures in which they are different. So, please read The Teaching Gap in that spirit -- as an attempt to help us step out of our culture of mathematics teaching in order to examine it more objectively.
Please respond to these questions after reading The Teaching Gap.
1) How did the book make you feel? How did that feeling evolve from beginning to middle to end of the book?
2) Which style of teaching, or combination of styles, best describes the junior high and high school mathematics instruction that you received?
3) What issues raised in the book have the greatest implication for how you think about teaching mathematics? Has your thinking changed? If so, how. If not, why?
4) What does The Teaching Gap have to say about how German, Japanese, and American cultures think about students studying mathematics or about the expectations held of them?
5) Is there a noticeable difference among the countries in their goals for the mathematics that students learn?

Spiekermann & CO AG has sold a 77.90% stake to HORUS Spiekermann-Holding GmbH
The shareholders of Spiekermann & CO AG have reorganized the shareholder structure of the company and have introduced HORUS Spiekermann-Holding GmbH, a holding company of the Helmig family, as a new anchor shareholder with a majority stake of 77.9% of the share capital. Financial details have not been disclosed.
Spiekermann & CO AG is a classical independent asset management company for wealthy private clients and institutional clients, with more than US$600 million in assets under management. The company was founded in 2001 in Osnabrueck by Friedhelm Spiekermann together with other private individuals. The small start-up has since developed into a market leader in the northwestern region of Germany, with about 1,700 clients. At the same time, market conditions have changed substantially, including tighter financial market regulations, stronger competition and uncertainty on the financial markets.
The company and its main shareholders decided that a partnership with a suitable investor would enable Spiekermann to realize its future market potential more rapidly. The ideal strategic partner would ensure the independence of the company and its management.
On the recommendation of a repeat client, Oaklins' team in Germany was mandated as the exclusive financial advisor to set up a limited auction process. About 20 potential partners (private banks, independent asset managers/family offices) were approached and discussions were held with several interested parties. The transaction was successfully completed with HORUS Spiekermann-Holding GmbH, a holding company belonging to the Helmig family.

The International Day of Happiness was created in 2013 as a way of reminding people of the importance of looking after ourselves and being happy.
Happiness is a great contributor to our overall well-being and can give us an overall feeling of contentment with life. It brings us joy, makes us smile and enables us to enjoy the things that are going on around us.
We can also bring happiness to others by looking out for, caring for and helping them in times of need; but don't think this is the only time happiness counts, if you can bring happiness to someone during any time in their life, then it will have a benefit, to them and to you.

Focus on Dominion
By Andrea G. Schwartz
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me (Matthew 25:40).
Who qualifies as the "least" in Our Lord's statement? A homeless person? A patient in a coma? Unborn children with diagnosed medical concerns? If you were perplexed at the last category, note that 80% of unborn children diagnosed with medical concerns are aborted. Yet, there is a group of Christians who actually seeks out and adopts such children, often agreeing to do so before these children are born.
Christian Homes Adopting Special Kids (CHASK), operated by Tom and Sherry Bushnell, is an organization of hundreds of families that is part of a greater umbrella organization of 14,000 families — National Challenged Homeschoolers Associated Network (NATHHAN). These organizations exist to encourage "homeschooling families with special needs children, in ways that glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and finding Christian homes for special needs children."
Six months after their third child Tally (born with Down's Syndrome) died at the age of 3 months, the Bushnells received a phone call from a midwife explaining that a child who was born with Down's Syndrome was not wanted by his family. The Bushnells agreed to adopt the two-week old boy and Jordon, now 16, has been a member of their family ever since. Along with 8 siblings born to Sherry and Tom, Jordon also has 2 adopted siblings: Sheela, adopted at age two with blindness and no eyes and Sherlyn, adopted at age one with cerebral palsy and autism.
CHASK is not an adoption agency. However, it brings together birth parents who, for whatever reason, feel incapable of raising a child with severe medical problems and prospective Christian families answering the Lord's call to serve Him in this way. Often it is through Pregnancy Centers, churches, or ob/gyns that this option is presented to a birth mother. CHASK gives her three profiles of candidates that seem suited for her particular situation. The choice remains with her. CHASK is there to refer her to the proper agencies or lawyers that can help bring about an adoption.
Friends of Chalcedon (FOC) recently had the opportunity to interview the Bushnells about their involvement with CHASK.
FOC: You indicated that the writings of Rousas John Rushdoony had a tremendous effect on your theology and worldview. Please elaborate on that.
CHASK: The late Rousas John Rushdoony was a trail-blazing, Christ-honoring man. Those who have studied his writings, such as myself, have come to a greater understanding of the significance of presuppositional apologetics. I better comprehend the spheres of responsibility of the civil government, the church government, and the family government. The crossover lines where these can work together or apart was of great interest to me. Rush's life work is significant to those who have made a big impact on the body of Christ today, especially in the area of homeschooling. We were particularly impacted by his understanding of the God-given responsibility of fathers to train their children.
FOC: Many who hear your story marvel at your level of compassion and stamina. Do you consider yourself, your family, and the other CHASK families to be extraordinary people?
CHASK: We consider ourselves obedient to whatever God has planned for us, just like you are doing what you feel God has called you to do. Those of us who have children with special needs, probably do not see the whole area of "handicaps" as so daunting. Our experience is that our children are children first, then they carry a label called "disability."
FOC: Many Christians strive to put the dominion mandate into effect in their lives, seeking how God would have them do this. Do you consider adopting a child with significant medical concerns — possibly with some that guarantee a short life span — to be a dominion activity?
CHASK: We believe Christians should live what they believe. Adopting a child with severe delays may be the way God has called us to further His kingdom. All lives are sacred and have a purpose from God's perspective, from conception, birth, and on. Our job is to work out daily His purpose. We do not know why certain children are born with particular needs, outside of the fact that there is sin the world. We do understand that God works all things out for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
FOC: What would you consider to be the primary qualifications for parents considering the adoption of a medically challenged child?
CHASK: From a CHASK perspective, we ask adoptive parents to be mindful of birth parents and their needs first. This missionary mind-set is not for everyone. We consider any family that has a desire to work for the Lord and has a solid relationship with Him and each other in the home. The birth parents are the ones who choose the home for their baby.
FOC: What kind of support have you and the other CHASK families needed in order to accept this tremendous responsibility and not short-change your existing children?
CHASK: NATHHAN has a database of over 14,000 families. Many of these parents are experienced in special needs. Their children are older. They are ready to reach out and help others. We have each other to lean on and get resources if we are in need. There are also a lot of folks privately supporting CHASK financially who do not have children with disabilities. This support is how we as families are able to reach out.
One of the good things that has come about because of the ministry's growth is that we have hired 2 full time workers. This is making NATHHAN more productive and blending CHASK successfully with in-place operations.
FOC: What would you recommend to folks who would like to assist in your mission, but don't feel called to actually adopt?
CHASK: There are several areas of support that have been excellent.
1. Churches and others have taken a special offering to provide a loving home for a little boy born with only a brain stem. They have provided help for the adoptive family's legal costs. This is through our "Already Loved Fund" program. Many more families are needed to lovingly support special needs babies like this, saying to the doctors, "We already love this baby and are willing to help provide a home."
2. With the financial help of families outside of NATHHAN, 100,000 "adverse prenatal diagnosis" brochures are in the hands of birth parents, giving them encouragement to choose life for their baby with special needs.
3. Families in all areas of the U.S. are needed for one-on-one comfort and encouragement for birth parents facing the possibility of disability in their child or even possible death of their baby upon birth. Just having someone who cares makes a huge difference.
FOC: Does the task that you've undertaken ever seemed burdensome to you?
CHASK: We do feel a weight of responsibility. Because of our rapid growth, we are constantly reassessing our needs in order to find solutions. We really want to do what God wants, however He wants it done. We are learning to lean on Him daily … even hourly.
Our culture has abandoned God's mandate to care for those who cannot care for themselves — those about to be slaughtered. Over the years we've asked ourselves why the Lord has spared our country — one that makes it perfectly legal to kill a defenseless child in his mother's womb. CHASK represents a remnant not unlike the early Christians in Rome who provided salt and light to the culture around them. As R.J. Rushdoony relates in his book The Atheism of the Early Church:
Two battles, which marked the early church from the beginning, we still have with us today. The first was over the question of sovereignty or lordship, and the second was over the issue of abortion. Abortion was entirely legal within the Empire, but the early church instituted very severe penalties against any of its members involved in this very common practice. But that is not all. At the same time, the early church began to deal with the results of this world of abortion.
Not every abortionist in those days functioned with the cold and brutal efficiency common to us now. Therefore, they were not always successful in aborting babies. As a result, when the unwanted babies were born, they were promptly taken and abandoned under the bridges of the river Tiber in Rome. In other cities there were places which were routinely used for abandoning babies.
The Christians made it their habit immediately to go to the places where these babies were abandoned — to be devoured, as Tertullian said, by wild dogs — to collect these infants and parcel them out from family to family. This tells us something about the life of faith among these believers. How many members of congregations today would welcome an officer of the church coming by with an abandoned baby or two, and feel it was their duty to rear them in faith!1
May God richly bless these families and raise up more to care for these the least of His brethren. May their example energize and enrich others in their own particular dominion callings.

Once a petition is approved, it will be sent to the National Visa Center for processing. If the petition is in an immediate relative category or has a current priority date, it is largely up to you how long it takes to get an interview appointment. The more quickly you follow the instructions provided by the National Visa Center (NVC) and submit all requested documents, the sooner an appointment can be scheduled. Appointments are usually scheduled for the month after all documents are submitted.
Note: If the petitioner was a lawful permanent resident at the time when the petition was filed and then naturalizes, all F2A petitions (spouse or minor child of a permanent resident) are automatically converted to IR1 (spouse of a U.S. citizen) or IR2 (child ofa U.S. citizen) petitions. These visa categories are not subject to the visa quota system and will, therefore, always have visas available for the beneficiaries' use if they qualify for visa issuance.

Dixie's 27 years of service recognised
One woman's many years of service to the Te Wera Outdoor Recreational Trust were recognised late last year with a special presentation. Dixie Farley has spent over a quarter of a century giving her time and skills to the trust, serving in a number of roles over the years. Farley's connection with the lodge, 37km east of Stratford on the Forgotten World Highway, began in January 1994. Then, she and her family first arrived at the Te Wera Valley camp where they were to host, promote and manage the facility whilst living on site. Farley says she enjoyed every moment of her time in that managerial role, and while she left the role after seven years, her passion for Te Wera remained and she stepped into the role of trustee. She continued serving as a valued and dedicated trustee for the next 20 years, most of which was spent as secretary and treasurer. She says Te Wera Valley Lodge is a place of beauty and tranquillity like none other. The lodge offers an opportunity for youth and their families to experience something really special, and it is something Farley says she is proud to still be a part of. In December the chairman of Te Wera Outdoor Recreational Trust, David Bevins, presented Farley with an honorary life membership of the Te Wera Outdoor Recreational Trust, in recognition and appreciation of that valued contribution to the trust over the last 27 years.

Senior Fellow and Founding Member of CIAPA Dies
By Constantino Urcuyo
Rodolfo Cerdas was a founding member of CIAPA, the Center for Inter-American Policy and Research's counterpart in Costa Rica. A man of action and reflection, he was equally at ease in political practice and academia.
Founder of a political party and a deputy in the National Assembly, during the 1970s he defended the notion of a Costa Rican development style, based on national strengths and free from the influence of foreign powers.
As a columnist he had a profound influence on Costa Rican public debates through Ojo Crítico, his weekly column in '€œLa Nación'€.
He studied law at the University of Costa Rica and philosophy in the former Soviet Union. He later obtained a doctorate in political sociology from the University of Paris-Sorbonne. He was the director of the School of Political Science at the University of Costa Rica, and taught at Oxford and Cambridge, where he held the Simón Bolivar chair for a year.
Cerdas'€™ work is centered on the analysis of the Costa Rican state, political parties, Central American integration, national identity, and the history of the communist international movement. He published more than a dozen books and hundreds of academic and general press articles.
As a founding member of CIAPA, he made the Center the locus of his academic and research activities for over thirty years.


Washington, DC – Human Rights First is urging the Obama Administration to take steps that will hasten its ability to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo. The call comes just one day after Attorney General Eric Holder testified before a House appropriations subcommittee and reiterated the Obama Administration's continuing commitment to close Guantanamo despite funding restrictions imposed by Congress in last year's National Defense Authorization Act. "Attorney General Holder's testimony reaffirmed the statement made by President Obama when signing the Act in January, when he asserted that the administration will 'seek repeal of these restrictions, will seek to mitigate their effects, and will oppose any attempt to extend or expand them in the future.' To fulfill that commitment, the Obama Administration must act now to lay the groundwork to close Guantanamo. The Department of Justice should immediately seek indictments against those charged with crimes and aggressively determine which of the 59 prisoners cleared for release may be sent home or to a third country in accordance with the restrictions imposed by congress," said Human Rights First's Devon Chaffee.

UPS, FedEx warn they cannot carry ballots like US Postal Service
FILE PHOTO: A FedEx truck is parked next to a UPS truck as both drivers make deliveries in downtown San Diego, California March 5, 2013. REUTERS/Mike Blake
15 Aug 2020 08:15AM (Updated: 15 Aug 2021 08:15AM)
LOS ANGELES: United Parcel Service and FedEx on Friday shot down social media calls that they step in to deliver mail-in ballots from the U.S. Postal Service, which is warning states of potentially "significant" delays.
"State ballots must be postmarked to be considered valid and only the USPS has lawful postmarking status. Therefore UPS, FedEx and other private parties cannot technically be involved in shipping ballots," UPS told Reuters in a statement.
"FedEx does accept individual ballots, and we advise that customers planning to return their ballots via FedEx should closely review their state's guidelines on absentee voting and deadlines for ballots or related election documents," FedEx said.
Republican President Donald Trump on Thursday said he opposed providing funds for the struggling Postal Service for mail voting, which is expected to surge to 50per cent as the coronavirus pandemic rages ahead of the Nov 3 presidential election.
The Postal Service said on Friday it has written to 46 states and the District of Columbia warning there is a significant risk voters will not have enough time to complete and return their ballots.
In a viral Twitter post on Thursday, author and radio host David Rothkopf said there was a "big opportunity" for UPS and FedEx to deliver ballots for free. "You'll overnight become the most beloved and respected organization in America," he wrote.
Various laws and regulations for the most part prohibit private delivery companies from handling mail-in and absentee ballots, the companies and experts told Reuters.
Exceptions include deliveries deemed "extremely urgent" by statute and deliveries on the day of and afternoon prior to election day.
In some states, collection would be prohibited because it would be considered "ballot harvesting," said Tammy Patrick, a former Arizona election official and senior advisor to the Democracy Fund foundation.
There are other hurdles that those companies, already coping with a pandemic-related surge in e-commerce shipments, would have to overcome.
For example, the Postal Service touches every U.S. mailbox six days a week. Private companies visit only when they have a delivery or an pre-arranged pickup - and they do not have blanket coverage in rural areas.
Amazon.com's upstart delivery service has also been floated as an alternative. That service does not do residential pickups.
Representatives from Amazon and the Postal Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
"Establishing a protocol of how they would collect the ballots would be a challenge," Patrick said.
Domestic costs would skyrocket since delivery firms charge significantly more for deliveries than the price of a 55-cent stamp, which is the cost to return many ballots.
And, international costs would be "astronomical," Patrick said.

NY1 Investigation Reveals Prevalence Of Health Code Violations At NYC School Cafeterias
Paula Mejía
Modified Feb 26, 2019
U.S. Department of Agriculture/Creative Commons
A damning report released this week by NY1 revealed that nearly 1,000 New York City public school cafeterias were slammed with health code violations in the first eight months of 2018.
The report found that of the 934 school cafeterias with violations, 336 of them had mouse droppings on the premises, and 99 schools had live roaches creeping around sinks and floors. At least one had a rat problem. That's not even mentioning the reports of fruit flies buzzing around drains, and sightings of moldy food (watermelon and green beans, to be exact), as well as pink mold in an ice-making machine (at the Bronx's P.S. 277 and Queens Metropolitan High School, respectively).
The report, culled from a FOIL investigation of school cafeteria health inspection results, is nevertheless an improvement from past years: In 2017, inspectors found critical health code violations at 1,256 schools, and 1,456 the year before that. The Health Department grades school cafeterias in the same way they grade restaurants and, as of late, food carts, ensuring food is made safely and stored at adequate temperatures. But unlike restaurants and food carts, school cafeterias' "grades" aren't available for the public to see.
"Students deserve safe and healthy food, and 99 percent of our cafeterias pass inspections," Miranda Barbot, a spokesperson for the Department of Education, tells Gothamist in a statement.
It's not exactly a secret that mice have been plaguing school cafeterias for years, but how widespread and consistent these violations are is alarming. The Department of Education tells Gothamist that they hired a Director of Food Safety and Quality Assurance in 2017 to assist with the violations, and that there's currently an audit underway to review all food contracts. They also note that several schools in the report, including PS 277, have gone through additional training to rectify their respective issues and stay up to code in the future.
Here, you can search this list for what issues were found at specific schools.

Comfortable, light, flexible and durable shoes that keep your feet dry and smelling fresh. Sustainably produced from Hemp.
470 backers pledged $37,216 to help bring this project to life.
We're introducing our Spring 2018 collection of hemp, vegan and sustainable shoes. They're super comfortable, lightweight and breathable. They help keep your feet dry and smelling fresh by wicking away moisture and preventing the growth of odor-causing organisms. They're a responsible choice for people who want to minimize the impact their fashion makes on the environment.
At Bohempia, our mission is to reintroduce hemp to the world and highlight how using it can help heal our planet.
After years of working with both textile and shoes, we're combining our passions with the belief that the right way to run a company is to produce goods responsibly. We also make sure that all the people working with Bohempia get the fair and respectful treatment they deserve.
The classic court low-top sneaker from the way back is back, powered by hemp. A variety of colors to match any mood or occasion make it a likely candidate as your go-to shoe.
Inspired by SoCal surf sneakers, this sustainable slip-on is stylish in a laid-back kinda way. Who needs laces?
Famous as a boat shoe, this plimsole sneaker combines a nautical flair with casual fashion. A great match with pin rolled pants in colors to match anything.
The Holata's grown up sibling. The Orasa is a hi-top sneaker that was performance gear back when the NBA had 8-teams. Can be worn while strolling an exhibition or jumping off stages.
Get your adventure on with the Rohan. The lugged outsole provides traction and the high-top cut protects your ankles from rough terrain. Lace them up and hit it!
Great for expeditions of an urban variety, the Milek is our take on a classic boot style. Enjoy the looks of a boot with the comfort of a sneaker.
Hemp is one of the world's oldest cultivated crops; it's been grown for almost 10,000 years. For centuries our ancestors used this versatile plant to make rope, oil, paper, and food. Today hemp is also used to make plastic, building materials, medicine and, now, footwear.
For many years governments demonized and often criminalized hemp. It stopped being used and was largely forgotten. Today both attitudes and laws have changed. More and more people realize the macro and micro benefits of this super plant. We advocate for the return of hemp to mainstream use as one of humankind's most beneficial and multipurpose crops.
We're inspired by classic footwear silhouettes. From court inspired casual sneakers to rugged urban adventure boots. Timeless styles that are simple, yet refined. Shoes that can be worn with almost any outfit and on any occasion. Footwear classics that we think will become your favorite pair.
We make shoes using vulcanized construction which means they don't need glue or stitching to bond the upper to the outsole. Heat and pressure firmly fuse the upper and the outsole together.
Comfort is very important to us. To make sure you have a great experience we use a blended cork-rubber insole that provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption. A special arch cookie gives extra support.
Great shoes and comfort go hand-in-hand. We strive to offer high-quality shoes. We produce our shoes in an independent factory located in Zlin, Czech Republic, a historic shoe-making city. It was once one of Europe's largest footwear centers and the many years of shoemaking experience and tradition live on in our factory partner.
Treating people with respect is core to BOHEMPIA'S belief system. We think it's the only way to run a business. It also means a fair 'living wage' for everyone from our team members to factory employees. We cooperate with Fashion Revolution in their work to bring attention to conditions of fashion industry workers.
Although we have spent the last 12 months perfecting our product assortment and working with suppliers to ensure we can deliver our high-quality rewards on time, challenges can sometimes arise.
We have made two previous production runs to test our supply chain-they passed with flying colors- and we do not anticipate any major problems.

Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Sergei Naryshkin chaired a meeting of the Presidential Council for Countering Corruption.
In particular, the meeting addressed the draft long-term programme for increasing efficiency in fulfilling judicial decisions (for 2011–2020), the system for assessing the efficacy of government agencies' programmes and plans to counter corruption, and Russia's compliance with the statutes of the UN Convention against Corruption and other international agreements concerning government procurement, accounting, audits and financial accountability within Russian legislation.
The Council members gave corresponding instructions to the Justice Ministry, the Economic Development Ministry and the Accounts Chamber, and also stressed the need to take the requirements set forth in the UN Convention against Corruption into account when improving Russian legislation on the supply of goods and services for government needs.

Lycored, a natural food coloring company, wanted to understand how consumers thought about the color and vibrancy of the foods and candies that they ate. Within the industry, the rule of thumb has traditionally been "brighter" means "better." The industry has spent years operating under the assumption that muted colors would not appeal to consumers.
Lycored wanted to put the assumption that "brighter" means "better" to the test. What better way to understand consumers' perceptions than to have a conversation with them?
Lycored used Discuss.io to recruit moms and their kids around the United States for live video conversations. In advance of the conversations, Discuss.io sent samples of two different types of gummy bears (one with more vibrant, artificial dyes, the other with more muted, natural dyes) to the homes of the consumers to try and talk about on camera. Instead of traveling to watch these sessions in a central location, the participants joined from their homes and the Lycored team observed from their home bases in Switzerland, Israel, and the USA.
The insights uncovered through conversations shattered commonly-held preconceptions of consumers' perceptions about food coloring. Like the rest of the industry, many on the Lycored team had assumed that "brighter" meant "better." The consumers that they talked to disagreed.
By having conversations, the team was able to uncover insights that they would have never known to ask for. For example, the team was shocked to learn how knowledgeable kids are about food coloring. And yet, their stance toward the dye was straight-forward, "candy is candy," one child put simply. They don't care if it's less bright, if it tastes good. But their moms do.
To moms, more muted colors signaled that the food was "healthier" because they were made with natural dyes, not artificial dyes with names that they could not pronounce. Similarly, moms mentioned that they often associated brightly-colored foods with having more sugar. Uncovering nuance in the perception of dyes allowed the team to incorporate more tailored messaging in their products.
Having their preconceptions shattered themselves, Lycored is eager to share their findings from this study in journals and at an important confectionary industry event.
"Going into these conversations, we thought we knew how consumers thought about our product. Our preconceptions were quickly shattered. Much to our shock, consumers (moms, and even kids!) were extremely educated and had strong opinions in the topic area.
We frequently rewatched and shared the sessions widely across our team. The insights that we gathered through our conversations influenced not only our messaging, but also our clout in the industry.
Discuss.io is the leading live video solution for enabling brands to discover actionable insights and build consumer connections at scale. Brands use Discuss.io to have frequent and direct conversations with consumers around the world, leading to deepened empathy and understanding, better products, more effective marketing.
A home improvement company wanted to connect with consumers about their brand perception on some new packaging. They fine-tuned the packaging to address consumers' concerns.

May 14, 2014 By Olivier Melnick Leave a Comment
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité…Not so much for French Jews!
France remains the third largest Jewish community in the world (500,000) after Israel and the United States, but at the current rate, things could change within a decade or so. France is currently experiencing a Jewish exodus that is very troubling to say the least, and while it isn't the only western European country to see a strong resurgence in immigration to Israel, it certainly yields the highest numbers.
The Jewish community of France is very old indeed. It goes back to the first century AD in Lugdunum (known today as Lyon). That same community can be traced throughout the ages as it has been punctuated by various acts of anti-Semitism. For the Jews of France the pen of the Church Fathers led to the sword of the Crusaders. Additionally, one expulsion after the next also led to the ostracizing of the Jews at a time when Europe was experiencing "enlightenment." The Dreyfus Affair is proof that at the turn of the 19th Century, French Jews were already realizing that their safety was at risk. But of course, they could have not fathomed the great catastrophe of the Shoah when Nazi Germany saw the only solution to the Jewish question as being complete annihilation. As a result, 80,000 French Jews perished in the Holocaust.
In all fairness, we must also recognize that French Jews had a few friends amidst their many foes. Among them was French Emperor Charlemagne (747-814) as well as Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) who to this day has a prayer dedicated to him in many French synagogue prayer books.
It is around the time of the French Revolution of 1789 that the French motto of "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" (liberty, equality, brotherhood) was born. It continues to be the motto of the current French Republic, yet it seems to not really apply to the Jewish people so much.
Is France having a love/hate relationship with its Jews? Whatever has been happening lately would lead me to believe that the Jews of France are seriously considering giving up on France as they have started to immigrate to Eretz Yisrael in numbers higher than ever. France has seen nearly 100,000 Jewish people leave since 1919. It is estimated that over 7,000 Jews have left France in the last 3 years and the numbers continue to grow with no sign of slowing down. Over 1,400 have left in the first three months of 2014, showing a trend that had never been seen since 1948.
The cause for French Jews to have an increased desire to make aliyah to Israel is of course directly related to the recent surge of anti-Semitic acts but also to the multiple deaths connected to them.
Let's consider some of the anti-Semitic events of the last 3 decades:
While we know that anti-Semitism is alive and well all around the world, France remains one of the most lethal hotbeds for the longest hatred. It runs very deep into the French soil and has been fertilized by Islamic influence over the last 60 years.
In 1980, in the then very Jewish Paris quarter of "Le Marais" on the eve of Simchat Torah, the synagogue at Rue Copernic was bombed, resulting in the death of 4 people and injuring over 40.
Only 2 years later, in 1982 in the same district, the Jewish deli Jo Goldenberg was attacked by terrorists who threw a grenade inside the restaurant and followed-up by indiscriminately firing their machine guns at patrons inside, resulting in the death of 6 people and injuring 22.
In 2003, French/Jewish disc jockey Sebastien Sellam was brutally murdered by his Muslim" "friend" who claimed, "I have killed my Jew, I will go to Heaven". Amazingly, the whole tragedy was under reported at best and in most places not even connected to anti-Semitism.
In 2006, French Jewish man Ilan Halimi was tortured and killed by a group of French/north African Muslims known as The Gang of Barbarians. Halimi's fate left the Paris Jewish community in shock and prompted many to organize for their departure from France.
In 2012, North African Mohammed Merah killed seven in Toulouse and Montauban. Four of his victims were a Rabbi, two of his children and another student from Jewish day school Ozar HaTorah.
And of course as recently as this last February on the streets of Paris, demonstrators were marching and chanting: "Jews out, France is not for you!"
It is so dangerous to be a Jew in France that religious Jews hide their yarmulkes (skull caps) when in public places. France is both the largest Jewish community of Europe and the most dangerous one to be part of. This recent surge of immigration is not an after thought or a reaction from the Jewish community of France. It takes time to prepare for such a move. It is culturally, emotionally and of course financially taxing.
France's motto of "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" sounds great on paper or etched in the limestone of France's monuments, but on the street, it is a whole different story. The government, regardless of its political affiliations is all bark and no bite!
So if it seems like Jews of France are giving up on France lately, it is probably a response to the fact that for the most part France might have given up on Jews. This is one more good reason why we should support and protect Israel as a safe haven for the unwanted Jews of France or from anywhere else in the world for that matter!

Songwriters – 3 Solutions To Make A Protective Cover Song Interesting
Posted on February 9, 2022 by Holden
Songs would be the compassionately embracing force many when love denies your heart and pain denies your thoughts. Music has proven to be a companion together with a sole lover, a friend to a teen, a lullaby to be able to child, along with the driving force to all emotions. Songs have the action to use even the long stored and deep buried emotions you could enjoy. Song is not single as it sounds to end. It has almost ten inbuilt elements that can perform from ten different dimensions on a physical object. This factor makes it very suitable giving the ultimate relaxation to both body-mind.
Once a song has been recorded created available towards public, work need permission from the writer or publisher to record your own version. For everybody who is contemplating recording songs for sale, contact rights organizations BMI, ASCAP or SEASAC, or outlets publisher directly, to determine the terms.
For this example, suppose our idea is a title that we've been released with individuals think is cool. http://primed.site is "It Makes Me Desire to Run." I find nice it, as it is often generic enough to be described as a good title, while at the same time there's some intrigue. When you see it, you probably wonder Is preferable to just her to be able to run, if didn't see anything rrn regards to the story.
Usually, you write song lyrics after the tunes is rrn a position. So, you already an associated with the song's structure. Whenever you know the amount of verses and choruses, you just have to imagine a tale to indicate. But, having an idea is insufficient. Several great ideas have evaporated midway between the writer's brain and his pen. Therefore, it is crucial to these people on file.
If a person wants to meet a song, all watertight and weatherproof do is get an analog license along with the copyright owner must supply a mechanical license to someone that wishes to record the song. Growing to be a no law that says that copyright owners must give you a synch license to because they came from want for their competition at nasa. This means that the copyright owner (songwriter or publisher) can come up if they want you carry out their song on videos for Youtube . com. If they do decide that they'll let make use of their song for a synch license, they can charge you. Include total control on in order to charge. Whole charge one person a little and somebody else a boat load.
The factors like the pop song is to use the song hooked to listeners right now and preserve the listener stay interested as long as possible in a span approximately 3 to four time. This is the age of consumerism where people buy, then get bored, then buy again, then become bored again, therefore and so on. it's a cycle. The same thing goes for pop music now a days. People listen from finding highly ear grabbing music, then get bored, so they listen to new songs, then they get bored again. The actual pop song basically needs three things: familiarity, variety, and a hook.
Go shorter, not a longer time. I was once asked to do the beginning part of your closing song to the Barbra Streisand version of your respective Star Arrives. It's beautiful and on point, however it's also 7 1/2 minutes long. Unless there's an exceptional ceremony you need to take care of during your own wedding that you're looking music being performed you are doing it, you risk a lot of murmuring the actual world crowd whether they have had to sit too long waiting on your singer to get through something long, even when the singer is talented.

Anger, grief after blast at church near Cairo's Coptic cathedral kills 25
Updated December 12, 2016 — 3.54pm first published December 11, 2016 — 8.15pm
Cairo: An explosion in a church adjoining Cairo's Coptic cathedral on Sunday killed at least 25 people – most of them women – and injured almost 50 others.
Security sources said that at least six children were among the dead inside the church of St Peter and St Paul, which is being used for services while St Mark's Cathedral - the seat of the Coptic Orthodox papacy - is undergoing renovations.
David Effat, 30, was making coffee when he rushed down upon hearing the blast.
"I live right across the street from the cathedral. This is my home church. I was baptised and grew up there," he told Fairfax Media. "I saw body parts and limbs all over. It was a complete demolition job. I couldn't believe all the blood splattered everywhere."

Mr Effat has been helping coordinate blood donations at the Demerdash Hospital, close to the site of the blast.
"I was trying to find people I know in the rush of bodies being transported, you don't know who's alive or dead. I saw a room with nine beds and two corpses on each bed, mostly women and children. It was gruesome - may God never show us this pain ever again".
Mr Effat, a bank employee who also volunteers and runs youth groups at the church, said some of his friends escaped with minor injuries but one had died.
"I lost a friend of mine. She's not here with us anymore. A kind-hearted and nice girl." He identified her as Neveen Adel, 31, who volunteered at St Peter and St Paul. She has been confirmed dead by Egypt's Health Ministry.

The ministry put the number of injured at 49, but Mr Effat disputed that number: "I think there are probably over a 100 injured. It was a very powerful blast that completely ripped through the women's side of the church and I don't know how there's so little injured. It doesn't add up."
Police and armoured vehicles filled the streets surrounding the cathedral, as protesters gathered outside to call for retribution.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, however, some supporters of the Islamic State militant group celebrated the attack on social media.
A device containing around 12 kilograms of the explosive TNT had detonated on the women's side of the church, the security sources said.

"As long as Egyptian blood is cheap, down down with any president ... the people demand the downfall of the regime," protesters cried outside church, using the signature chant of the 2011 revolt against dictator Hosni Mubarak, who later stepped down.
Egypt's presidential office described the attack as an act of terrorism and declared a state of mourning for three days across the country.

Hani Bakhoum, undersecretary of the Coptic Catholic Patriarchate, which is a separate sect, told state television his church would not allow the blast to divide Egyptians.
"We will not allow the terrorist to threaten our national unity with Muslims," Hani Bakhoum said. "We will protect our national unity."

Orthodox Copts, who make up about 10 per cent of Egypt's 90 million people, are the Middle East's largest Christian community. They have long complained of discrimination under successive Egyptian leaders.
"As soon as the priest called us to prepare for prayer, the explosion happened," Emad Shoukry, who was inside the church when the blast took place, told Reuters.

"The explosion shook the place ... The dust covered the hall and I was looking for the door, although I couldn't see anything ... I managed to leave in the middle of screams and there were a lot of people thrown on the ground," he said.
Islamists are waging an insurgency led by Islamic State's branch in North Sinai, where hundreds of soldiers and police have been killed. The insurgents have launched deadly attacks Cairo and other cities.
On Friday, two roadside bombs – one in Cairo and one north of the capital – killed six policemen and wounded six others.
