Isn't it part of a manager's job to motivate people who are not motivated?
How can you say that everyone is motivated all the time?
Without a desire to do something, we would do nothing, except those autonomic functions such as breathing, digestion and beating our hearts. That desire might be to sleep, to read the paper, to sit in the sun or to chat about the football with a work colleague – and this is still motivated behaviour.
When a manager says that John is not motivated, what this really means is that John does not 'want' to do the things that the manager wants him to do. He is simply motivated to do something different, like shopping on the internet as opposed to doing the filing.
We observe the person doing something other than what we want them to do or think they should be doing given the circumstances. They are acting other than we would act, given the circumstances, so we assume there is something wrong with them – that they are lacking something.
This is simply not the case. Everyone is always motivated to do something, and this motivation will vary from weak to strong.
People can be motivated to do several things at the same time: for example, sit and read the paper, watch the football on TV, mow the lawn or go and do their tax return. Whichever task has the strongest motivation will 'win'.
This way of looking at the subject has far-reaching implications when you think about motivating your staff or, indeed, yourself. You will approach people with the knowledge that motivation itself is not the problem, since everyone is motivated all the time. The real problem, from your perspective as a manager, is your need to influence what people want to do and therefore to discover how to achieve that in a work context.
If you would like to influence or motivate people to do something different, you need to do something that will raise within them a stronger motivation to do the new thing than the old thing. The stronger their motivation to do their current behaviour, the less likely you are to be able to turn them from that behaviour onto something else.
Whenever you seek to influence someone, you are seeking to override their current motivation with another which is stronger and which dovetails with your own aims and outcomes.
The only truly effective and long-term way to do this is to appeal to something already within them, so that what you want them to do becomes an intrinsic part of what they themselves want to do.
The best kind of motivation is when you are in the flow. Stuff just seems to happen almost naturally, even difficult things. You do not have to force an outcome, it just comes to pass and you are almost along for the ride.
What is different for you about this really natural kind of motivation?
Some people say they don't learn easily or can't study, yet they read the sports pages and have an encyclopaedic knowledge about their team and the sport they follow. What is the difference between their sporting passion and studious learning? One is in flow; the other is not.
If you were to ask if they were highly motivated to study sports, they would probably say no. This level of motivation is so intrinsic and so aligned within them that they are unaware of it, or its power. Actions that arise from this kind of motivation are effortless. Real motivation does not require effort. If effort is needed, you are probably fighting an internal conflict of values or some other misalignment of purpose.
If you threaten with a big stick or entice with a large carrot, this will work provided the stick or carrot is big enough. If that is all you do, however, you will be setting up conflicts and resistance within the recipient. This is why stick and/or carrot, on their own, will ultimately fail. The best you can hope for is compliance, and often grudging compliance at that. More complex interventions are needed to tap into the effortless intrinsic motivation.

Apple launches iOS 13.5.1
By Ricky Baker On Jul 10, 2020
Two months ago, Apple launched iOS 13.5, equipped with the function of monitoring users' COVID-19 contacts. This version of the software also speeds up the process of unlocking the iPhone with Face ID when using a mask. However, for those who prefer to change their devices, iOS 13.5 came with something else: a new jailbreak called unc0ver, which allows the installation of software not approved by Apple on devices. Less than a week after the release of the unlocking software, Apple already comes with iOS 13.5.1, which covers the vulnerability.
Why do some iPhone users jailbreak
Jailbreak unlock methods use security system vulnerabilities to allow unsigned code to run. This allows you to install apps from sources other than the Apple App Store and customize your interface the way you want. Most iPhone users do not seem to bother with such solutions, but it is good that there is a solution for those who have such desires.
The new iOS 13.5.1 update is made specifically to prevent the installation of this jailbreak in the future. Apple is not talking about new functionality or other benefits after installation. It only covers the vulnerability used to "break" the security system of the iOS operating system. If you have jailbreak on your phone and you are on iOS 13.5 you will have to stick to this version if you want to keep your phone "unlocked".
A jailbreak solution for iOS 13.5.1 does not yet exist and will most likely take a long time until a compatible one appears. In general, those who develop such software discover several vulnerabilities and keep them to launch at the right time. Sometimes Apple finds them before they are used, but sometimes they remain "valid" for many versions.
Why Apple really wants to stop the jailbreak with iOS 13.5.1
But why is Apple preventing these software changes? The reasons are many, but simple and easy to understand. First of all, Apple is very proud of the data security on the iPhone. The iOS operating system must thus be well protected from any type of attack. Unc0ver exploits a security breach, and it can be used for other purposes. It could install unauthorized software that accesses your personal data, for example.
Then the financial part comes into play. Apple makes a lot of money from the App Store, and the jailbreak allows the installation of "pirated" applications from various online sources. If the jailbreak were easier to do, more users could probably install premium applications for free. This would affect both the developers and Apple's profit. For each transaction in the App Store, Apple keeps 30% of the money.

I am a clinician scientist. I studied Medicine at Manchester University and completed professional training in adult medicine in the North West of England. I started training in Clinical Genetics in 1995 and undertook a PhD as a Wellcome Trust Clinical Training Fellow on the genetics of bone development and osteoarthritis in the Wellcome Trust Cell Matrix Centre. I moved to Toronto to undertake a two year Arthritis Society Fellowship with Professor Kathy Siminovitch where I worked on the genetic basis of rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
I took up my post as Clinical Senior Lecturer in Genetics at the University of Manchester and Honorary Consultant at St Mary's Hospital in 2004 and was awarded my Chair in 2013. My research has focussed on pharmacogenetics - defining the genetic factors that influence how patients respond to their medications. I have an interest in the use of different technologies to define disease causing genes and have used SNP arrays and next generation sequencing approaches to identify a number of novel genes responsible for a range of conditions. I have established a Genome Clinic to use next generation sequencing to diagnose conditions that it was previously challenging to correctly define. This is now leading to studies to discover specific treatments for inherited disorders.

By any measure Norman Limb, my and Julie's father and Opa to Jo and Jonty, father-in-law to Jim and Maggie and Uncle Norman to our cousins and friends, lived a long and remarkable life. As Jonty commented to us shortly after he died, if you were to have asked the doctors when our Dad got TB aged 5 if he would live to be over 91, 'they would have laughed in your face'.
Dad's life was nothing short of a modern miracle of medicine. Throughout the frailties of his last two months - of excellent care provided by the NHS - he continued to confound the medical teams at the Oxford John Radcliffe and Witney Community hospitals who could find nothing significantly wrong with him except, as they concluded on his death certificate, 'old age'.
Perhaps because, and almost certainly in spite of, the enormous physical challenges he faced, Dad developed (in contrast to our Mum) an immense mental capacity for resolute positivity and fierce determination. He could make you believe he really might achieve even that most elusive of human feats - defiance of death itself! And it's weirdly, curiously comforting to know he couldn't.
Our Dad did however possess a sense of certainty and confidence in the cosmos that could make you believe at times that he had his own personal hotline to the Almighty. Combine this with that most appealing of qualities - charm - which he exuded in abundance, and which so many of the people who have written to me and Julie refer to, and it adds up to the kind of persuasive commodity much sought after by ad agencies. Dad could, and frequently did, convince people that black was white.
As a child, this was in turn deeply reassuring and (mostly for my mother who was temperamentally the opposite) either mildly embarrassing or desperately unnerving. My Dad did however create an environment in which both Julie and I grew up to believe that there was nothing we couldn't do because we were girls. In addition to teaching us to swim, pitch a tent (he was a Sea Scout Master after all), ride and mend our bikes, play cards, drive a car, and most of all embark unassisted on countless adventures to foreign countries (in the days before the internet and mobile phones), Dad always gave us the impression that 'the world was our oyster', that we could 'reach for the stars', and that there was nothing in life we couldn't achieve if we took opportunities that came our way, worked hard and saw things through. He didn't so much verbalise this – he was after all of that generation of men who never spoke about feelings. Rather he conveyed it to us - with every fibre of his being as well as in the choices he made in his own life and the example he set for us and for his grandchildren.
Dad could however also, on occasion, get it completely wrong. Take for example that unforgettable day of our cousin Paula's marriage to Mark when the rain poured - consistently and interminably - from dawn to dusk. Their evening reception was being hosted in my parent's garden. Undaunted by the dreadful weather, Dad blithely and cheerfully erected the tent (we didn't have marquees in those days) and proceeded to instruct our Mum to put all the food and drink in it. This was just a shower, he said, it'd clear up, the sun would come out later and we would all be able to sit and have the nuptial celebrations in the garden as planned.
We didn't........although we did have a lovely time - but in my Dad's head the (truly) torrential rain was just a drizzle, the party did go on .... because 'all was for the best in the best of all possible worlds'.
This anecdote alone admirably reveals much about how my Dad made the very most of the hand he was dealt in life - regardless of how tricky the circumstances were or how dire and (as we shall hear) life threatening were the situations in which he (and sometimes his family) found himself.
Norman was born in Ardwick Green Manchester on 9 September 1926, and according to my grandmother, weighed 10lbs. He lived at 24 Parker Street - a fact he recalled with clarion certainty just a few weeks ago to a volunteer who visited patients in Witney hospital and listened to and recorded their life stories.
'Right at the back of Ardwick Green is where I was born. My Dad was a storekeeper and he knew where everything was for repairing cars. My mother went to Egerton Road to work in a small shop. That's where I went to Ladybarn school.
It was Easter when I came home when we broke up. I'd got the measles. Ten days later, my aunt took me to Blackpool to get it out of my system. When I was there she bought me a steam roller made out of tin. I was doing what lads do, going around in circles with it when I got a pain in my left hip and it wouldn't go away.
When I got home, I went to Manchester Infirmary and I was taken to see Sir Harry Platt (a renowned Lancastrian orthopaedic surgeon) He was well known. My mother thought I was going to die but he said 'No he'll be alright. Then he sent me to Abergele. I was there in that hospital for five years til I was not quite 10. It was TB.
This was 1931. In the BBC 1 programme 'Going Back Giving Back' which Dad and I made last year, I went (for the first time) to that sanatorium in Abergele. Dad spent so much of his early childhood there - separated from his parents save for their weekend visits, and in the company of the many children who, pre-NHS days, were dispatched by Manchester City Corporation, to the fresh air of North Wales to recuperate from TB.
A determination to do something with his life. This was born out of what must have seemed endless years Dad spent on his back lying in a hospital bed having to keep his body still and straight, day and night, whilst pioneering medics experimented on the bodies of young TB patients with mechanical contraptions that were reminiscent of Elizabethan torture racks.
The image this suggests gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'stiffen the sinews, summon the blood' and although no King Henry himself (in fact I don't think he ever read any Shakespeare) this explains much about our Dad's enduring qualities of will power and courage.
These were attributes he certainly needed when, after a short seven years back with his parents, Dad left home again at 17 to take part in the Second World War. Again, in his own words Dad regarded his experiences in the Merchant Navy as 'the most amazing' time.
'I went to New Brighton for training. When I finished my training, Liverpool was where you signed on. I was an SOS – a Simple Ordinary Seaman. From Liverpool, they sent us by train to Lochgilphead in Scotland. That was a base for minesweepers. To be in the Royal Navy you had to have 100% in both eyes. I was 100% in my right eye and 99% in my left. So, I went back to Liverpool and then to Greenock and then to America. We took German and Italian prisoners of war.
We got a train for two and a half days and finished up in Montreal. I was the replacement for anyone who died or had been killed or more likely had run away. I had a wonderful four months there. I had a really really enjoyable time.
In fact, we know both from the note his mother wrote on the back of the photo of Dad in his Merchant Seaman uniform (which is reproduced on the service leaflet) and from the Merchant Navy Association (who helped us trace his war records and ensured he received his war medals) that Dad was on Russian Convoys and travelled around the world returning to England just before his 21st birthday in September 1947.
Dad's remaining 70 years were full and fulfilling. There is simply too much to pack into this short appreciation and not enough time to narrate it all. What mattered to him was his family (so it is lovely to see our cousins here today), his friends (like Robin Sue and Val who enjoyed so many happy holidays with their mother Olive and my parents and the Dorset Road set, represented today by Jane and Michael Chanon), and the foreign travel he undertook with both his wife Gerry, me Julie (and Jim Jo and Jonty) - and after our Mum's death in 2001, with his partner of the last 15 years, Leslie.
Dad combined all this with an innate entrepreneurial streak- which ensured that he made his way in the world and made a living (together with Mum) running his own businesses as a butcher, a milkman, a muffin man and a market trader. All this despite, continued further health challenges that included epilepsy and glaucoma.
Our Dad never thought of himself as 'disabled', 'unlucky' or 'hard done to'. He never let his bodily limitations restrict his aspirations or achievements (taking up hot air ballooning in his retirement – it's difficult enough for an able-bodied person to climb into what amounts to a large wicker basket, never mind a man with TB hip and a pronounced limp!) and never, ever, indulged in self-pity or protest about what he had to confront in life. Nor indeed, as Julie and I both witnessed over the last 8 weeks, did he display any bitterness or regret, as he faced with acceptance, his own increasing diminishments and inevitable death.
Dad had an enviable ability to enjoy all life had to offer underpinned by an abiding love of card games (cribbage and pinochle) and of course sport particularly football (Manchester City), cricket (Lancashire) and not forgetting his short spell as proud race horse owner (as Michael Channon will remember) of a nag called Spark Off!
Dad was sociable and extroverted, he made friends with people easily; he enjoyed people's company and they in turn were fond of him – no more so than his longstanding cleaner Mary and latterly his two daily carers, Sue and Julie, who looked after him in Stony Stratford and Kingston Bagpuize respectively.
Although as I have said, like many men of his generation (not least given the upbringing he had) Dad erred on the side of the taciturn when it came to expressing his emotions or articulating his feelings, I have no doubt whatsoever that the grief and sense of loss he felt when our Mum died in 2001, arose from their many deeply held, shared experiences of over 50 years. Equally, it was clear that his partner Leslie brought him love and companionship in his last fifteen years, as well as the opportunity to be part of her family and to make friendships in the USA. Leslie is not able to be with us today but she has written a few words which I should like to read out to you.
'Norman and I were fortunate and happy to find each other...quite a romance 6,000 miles and an ocean apart.
Whether we were together...planning our next travels...or apart and communicating via FaceTime on our i-pad tablets...we thought of and encouraged each other every day.
Norman is an ongoing inspiration, he showed us how strength of mind and determination can conquer.
I love him and I miss him.
I am sure in our own ways, and whatever our relationship with him, our Dad will be missed. As his daughters, Julie and I can personally attest to the fact that our Dad loved his children and grandchildren immeasurably; that he was pleased with the choices we have made in our lives (including our choice of partners whom he welcomed into the family) and took delight in seeing how we have all made our way in life inspired by the example of his bravery, perseverance, energy, and 'joie de vie'.


We've been in the new house for two months now and I'm finally ready to share a project!
because we wanted her to feel comfortable and help the transition.
This is how it looked the day we closed on the house.
but with the chair rail already there, we weren't sure how to go about it.
and the base board, and it was going to be a pretty penny, not to mention, time consuming.
We didn't have energy to tackle that project, in the midst of moving & running after a one year old.
Instead, I came across this tutorial from The Idea Room and thought we could definitely pull it off.
We purchased the 5/8 x 1-1/4 x 8 edging at Lowe's and went with the poplar & red oak finish because it was cheaper.
We were planning on painting it the same color as the wall, so it didn't matter either way.
We liked how the boxes looked in the tutorial we found and decided to stick with their dimensions.
The boxes have 4 inches all the way around them; from the chair rail, the base board, the wall, and the next box.
Once we knew how much space, we measured each wall to determine how many boxes we will need.
I'm a visual learner, so I had to draw it out to get the gist of what we were doing.
measure twice and cut once, right?
to get the most out of each piece, but we didn't so we just kept going.
I thought it would be a good idea to start spray painting each piece.
so my big idea was to just spray paint each piece and put them on the white wall.
with actual paint and a paintbrush. It was so much easier.
Once they were all cut and half of them were painted, Greg started nailing them to the wall with a nail gun.
After he was done, I started painting them. Just for good measure, we did two coats of paint the whole way around.
Once we came back to it, Greg caulked any of the open spaces around the wood and the nail holes.
but we started this project on Thanksgiving, the day after we moved in, so we really didn't think about it.
Overall, I love how it looks!
It's so much better than just a plain white wall below the chair rail.
Love this! It looks so great. I am thinking of doing something similar in our entryway on the lower half is our chalkboard walls.

Overview Paper
A New Digital Trade Agenda
By Joshua Paul Meltzer,
The globalization of the Internet and the ability to move data across borders underpins an increasing amount of international trade. What constitutes digital trade is potentially very broad. It can include the use of the Internet to search for products, purchase them, and in the case of digital goods, deliver them online. In an international economy where global supply chains are an important feature of international trade, the Internet is also allowing business to participate in supply chains, such as by providing discrete tasks or services. In addition, the Internet has become an important tool for businesses to communicate with consumers and suppliers, for accessing IT in the cloud, raising finance from crowdfunding websites, transferring data globally to manage production schedules, or collaborating in research and development (R&D) with globally located researchers. All this activity can increase the productivity of businesses, and their levels of innovation and competitiveness, leading to increased opportunities for international trade. The scope of the impact of the Internet on trade also extends to creating opportunities for people and businesses that have traditionally been marginalised from international levels of innovation and competitiveness, leading to more opportunities for them since the costs of international trade are reduced. Other more traditional barriers to trade in developing countries such as poor infrastructure, inefficient logistics, and distance to market are also being overcome as the Internet allows for products to be searched for and delivered online.
To maximise the opportunities that the Internet presents for international trade requires a life-cycle approach. This starts with issues around Internet access, including access to mobile phones, the cost of access, and the challenge for those whose language is not English or one of the other main languages used online. It also means that Internet access, in particular the ability to move data across borders, needs to remain free from unnecessary and restrictive rules. For digital trade to continue to grow, especially to ensure that consumers in the developed world are prepared to purchase digital products from businesses in the developing world, will require trust.
All these challenges to the opportunity that the Internet presents for growing international trade are amenable to being addressed by trade rules. Some of them only require a re-emphasis of existing commitments. For instance, World Trade Organization (WTO) General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) rules already include a number of disciplines that support digital trade. There are, however, new challenges that require new rules. Some of these arise from an increasing range of laws that are curtailing the ability to move data across borders such as data localisation requirements. Other restrictions on the Internet and cross-border data flows might be for legitimate reasons such as protecting privacy. Addressing such restrictions on digital trade do not necessarily present fundamentally new challenges for trade law, which has a long history of balancing commitments to non-discrimination and the right of Members to pursue legitimate policy goals in ways that do not constitute unnecessary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on international trade. Given that digital trade will require clarifying existing WTO rules as well as developing new trade rules. In this regard, the WTO and ongoing bilateral and regional FTA negotiations provide important pathways for developing a digital trade agenda. In terms of the WTO, the Secretariat was given a mandate at the 2013 WTO Ministerial to study digital trade issues, and part of this work should focus on how to update or clarify existing commitments, including in the GATS, the TRIPS, and TBT agreements. In the more immediate term, the large FTA negotiations, in particular the Tran-Pacific Partnership, the Trade in Services Agreement and the EU-U.S. Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations present the best opportunities for agreeing on new rules. The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RECP) is another large regional FTA. It is not clear what the ambition of this FTA on digital trade is, but the inclusion of large developing countries such as China, India, and Indonesia in it make this another potentially important pathway for agreeing to new rules on digital trade.

Utah man arrested on suspicion of voyeurism in Nashville mall fitting room
Posted 10:35 pm, August 16, 2019, by Adam Herbets, Updated at 07:32PM, August 20, 2019
HOLLADAY, Utah — A man from Holladay was arrested Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee on suspicion of taking pictures of a woman getting undressed inside a mall fitting room.
Steven Murdock, 55, posted bail and is now back home in Holladay.
Murdock is a high councilor with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
FOX 13 tried to speak to him to get his side of the story, but he refused to roll down his windows as he pulled into his home's driveway on Friday. Then he abruptly left.
The woman involved, Alondra Alcala, spoke to FOX 17 News in Nashville after she encountered Murdock and his wife at H&M on Tuesday.
"I did feel violated. I felt gross. Why is this happening to me?" Alcala said. "I undressed from the waist down, and I looked up. In the corner of the dressing room -- at the top -- there was a camera phone, an iPhone, pointing down at me. So obviously I knew I was being recorded. I freaked out. I froze."
Alcala said she confronted Murdock and witnessed him trying to delete the lewd photos from his phone. She also said Murdock's wife tried to convince her to make a "deal" by not calling police.
"Thankfully I was able to slap (the phone) out of his hand and take it and run out," Alcala said.
Arresting documents state that Murdock "guided her to an open dressing room stall."
People who live in Murdock's neighborhood were very quick to stand up for him, describing him as a great man with a beautiful family.
Neighbors confirmed Murdock used to be a bishop at his ward in Holladay before serving on his stake's high council.
One man, who asked to remain anonymous, said he just listened to Murdock's speak at his ward a couple months ago.
"I enjoyed his talk, thought he seemed dynamic and personable," the man said. "I do feel really bad for his family and hope that they can all recover from this, but I was pretty disappointed... I would guess that he'll be released."
Eric Hawkins, a spokesperson for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would not confirm or deny Murdock's involvement with the church. He said typically someone arrested for a crime like this would be removed from a leadership position, but that would ultimately be decided by other leaders within the church.

Q: How can I save each item in a "select multiple" field in its own MySQL record (using Rails)? Thanks for any help you can provide! I have a Ruby on Rails application where I am trying to save maps with driving directions and waypoints. The data needs to come straight out of the entry form instead of the Google Maps javascript. I've solved the starting and ending points, but the waypoints are giving me a problem.
My questions:

*

*How can I save each waypoint in its own record in the Waypoint table? I'm able to get the first waypoint into the table, but the rest of the "select multiple" options are ignored.

*How can I make each waypoint.newsavedmap_id field the same as its corresponding newsavedmaps id so that I can call these up later?
HTML

Enter a street address, city, and state:
    <input id="startinput" type="text" name="starthere" size="56">

Or, select a location from the list:
    <select id="startdrop" name="startthere">
          <option value="">
          <% for masterlocation in @masterlocation %>
          <option value="<%= masterlocation.street_address %> <%= masterlocation.city %>, <%= masterlocation.state %>, <%= masterlocation.zip %>"><%= masterlocation.place_name %></option>
                    <% end %>
                </select>

Stops

    <select multiple id="waypoints" name="waypointsselected">
        <% for masterlocation in @masterlocation %>
    <option value="<%= masterlocation.street_address %> <%= masterlocation.city %>, <%= masterlocation.state %>, <%= masterlocation.zip %>"><%= masterlocation.place_name %></option>
                    <% end %>
    </select>

    End

Enter a street address, city, and state:
    <input id="endinput" type="text" name="endhere" size="56">

Or, select a location from the list:
    <select id="enddrop" name="endthere">
    <option value="">
    <% for masterlocation in @masterlocation %>
    <option value="<%= masterlocation.street_address %> <%= masterlocation.city %>, <%= masterlocation.state %>, <%= masterlocation.zip %>"><%= masterlocation.place_name %></option>
                    <% end %>
                </select>

    <input type="submit" onclick="calcRoute();" id="showmapview" value="Show Map">

I have two MySQL tables. The first is newsavedmaps:
    id
    itinerary_id
    start
    start_lat
    start_long
    start_masterlocation_id
    end
    end_lat
    end_long
    end_masterlocation_id
    name

The second is waypoints:
    id
    newsavedmap_id
    waypoint
    waypoint_lat
    waypoint_long
    waypoint_masterlocation_id

The two are meant to be connected by newsavedmaps.id and waypoint.newsavedmap_id .
My newsavedmap_controller.rb includes:
    def create

@newsavedmap = Newsavedmap.new(params[:newsavedmap])

@newsavedmap.name = params[:newsavedmapname]

if !params[:starthere].blank?
  @newsavedmap.start = params[:starthere]
else
  @newsavedmap.start = params[:startthere]
end

if !params[:endhere].blank?
  @newsavedmap.end = params[:endhere]
else
  @newsavedmap.end = params[:endthere]
end

if !params[:waypointsselected].blank?
  @waypoint = Waypoint.new(params[:waypoint])
  @waypoint.waypoint = params[:waypointsselected]
end

Edit 1
In response to Colinm's suggestion to wrap the controller in an iterator to get separate records for each address, I tried this, but I'm pretty sure I'm doing the wrong thing:
    if !params[:waypointsselected].blank?
  for waypoint in @waypoint
  @waypoint = Waypoint.new(params[:waypoint])
  @waypoint.waypoint = params[:waypointsselected]
  @waypoint.newsavedmap = @newsavedmap
  end
end

A:
How can I save each waypoint in its own record in the Waypoint table? I'm able to get the first waypoint into the table, but the rest of the "select multiple" options are ignored.

Unless you have a really good reason not to, use Rails' form helpers instead of rolling your own form fields. They will take care of this automatically, as well as handle edge cases you may not even know about. (Like the gotcha that sending a multiple select back with no selections will leave the record unchanged. That doesn't sound like it's an issue in your use case, but Rails still has your back if you use the form helpers.)
In your case, you'd simply pass multiple: true in the html_options hash, like so:
<%= f.select :waypointsselected,
    MasterLocation.waypoints_for_select,
    {},
    { multiple: true }
%>

Note that this does assume you implement a waypoints_for_select method. Without seeing all the code, it looks like you have way too much logic in your view right now. It's brittle and verbose to construct the options array in the view; offloading that to the model or a helper keeps your view code cleaner and helps eliminate potential future bugs.

If you absolutely can't/absolutely don't want to use form helpers in this application, the key you're looking for is []. Rails sensibly assumes a form field represents a single value unless you explicitly denote it as an array. Just tack an empty array on the end of the field name:
<select multiple id="waypoints" name="waypointsselected[]">

...and that field's key in the params hash will instead contain an array of values representing the selected items:
{ waypointsselected: ["3", "6", "9"] }

As for associating the waypoints with the newsavedmaps, just set it explicitly during creation. You're almost there:
if !params[:waypointsselected].blank?
  @waypoint = Waypoint.new(params[:waypoint])
  @waypoint.waypoint = params[:waypointsselected]
  # You can do it like this...
  @waypoint.newsavedmap = @newsavedmap
  # Or using the ID...
  @waypoint.newsavedmap_id = @newsavedmap.id
end

(I haven't adapted this code to deal with the fact you now have an array of values in waypointsselected; I just plugged the relationship definitions into your existing code. Remember to adjust your code to expect an array and iterate over it.)

Human Rights and a Burger Giant
By Anna Lappé
Posted on: December 10, 2013 | 2 Comments
In 1993, six farmworkers gathered in a local Catholic church in Immokalee, Florida, two hours northwest of Miami. Seated in a circle of folding chairs, they began to recount the human rights abuses they had suffered and witnessed while working in the tomato fields of Florida.
One of the farmworkers produced a nondescript booklet and began to read from the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights, a set of basic human rights that the nascent Coalition of Immokalee Workers would look towards when designing their own Code of Conduct to end the abuses faced by farmworkers.
Today, as we celebrate International Human Rights Day, the anniversary of the day the United Nations adopted the Declaration of Human Rights, we recognize the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, who, from their modest beginnings, has become one of the human rights giants of our time.
Through their worker-designed Fair Food Program–a historic collaboration between farmworkers, 11 food retail corporations, and the majority of Florida tomato growers–an agricultural industry based on respect for human rights is becoming a reality. Just last week, the Coalition, along with the Fair Food Standards Council, presented its real-world solutions to human rights abuses to over 1,700 delegates from 85 countries at the United Nations Business and Human Rights Forum in Geneva.
While 11 leading retailers are paying a small premium to lift workers' wages and have committed their purchasing power to demand human rights standards, there has been one notable exception: Wendy's. Supporters of the Coalition around the country have made sure Wendy's hears, loud and clear, that they're on the wrong side of history. In a recent week of action against the burger joint, hundreds of people took to the streets in dozens of cities nationwide, from Columbus, Ohio to Jacksonville, Florida.
As Wendy's looks to establish a more "sustainable" brand and sourcing of "honest ingredients," the food justice community–from writers and farmers to retail workers and students–has rallied together up and down the supply chain to let Wendy's know that farmworkers must make up an integral part of that vision. Today, as we reflect on the commitment to human rights that we have made as a global community, we ask that Wendy's seize this opportunity to join the Fair Food Program.
Below is the letter which I have signed, along with many of my colleagues in the food movement, including movement leaders, writers, chefs, small farmers, and food justice organizations.
Dear Mr. Brolick,
As food writers, chefs, small and family farmers, sustainable businesses leaders, anti-hunger groups, and food justice advocates, we are writing to express our grave disappointment that Wendy's has thus far refused to join the most far-reaching, successful, and comprehensive program for social responsibility in the US produce industry: The Fair Food Program.
When Wendy's founder Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy's store, he outlined values that would anchor the Wendy's brand, such as "Do The Right Thing," "Treat People with Respect," and "Give Something Back." Today, the eyes of the growing food movement turn toward you to ask that you uphold these guiding values upon which Wendy's has built its image.
As such, we urge you to act immediately to ensure that the rights and dignity of farmworkers who harvest the tomatoes sold in Wendy's products nationwide be respected by committing your company to a social responsibility program that was recently heralded in The Washington Post as "one of the great human rights success stories of our day."
While Florida farmworkers have long faced stagnant, sub-poverty wages and egregious human rights violations–in the most extreme cases including modern-day slavery–the good news is that a solution now exists. Through the Coalition of Immokalee Workers' (CIW) Fair Food Program–an unprecedented partnership among 11 major corporate retailers (including all of Wendy's main competitors), over 90 percent of the entire Florida tomato industry, and farmworkers themselves–a more modern, more sustainable industry is being born.
The Fair Food Program was recently highlighted in a White House report concerning efforts to combat human trafficking as "one of the most successful and innovative programs" in the fight against modern-day slavery. Additionally, the U.N. Working Group on Business and Human Rights sent observers to Immokalee, reporting that the Fair Food Program "innovatively addresses core worker concerns" through an "independent and robust enforcement mechanism." Most recently, the CIW was awarded the Roosevelt Institute's 2013 Freedom From Want Medal, recognizing the unprecedented advances of the Program.
By refusing to put its weight behind this program, Wendy's is lagging behind its competitors as the only major fast food corporation in the US that has yet to become part of this proven approach to a more sustainable supply chain. What's more, when you, Mr. Brolick, helmed Taco Bell in 2005 as the company became the first Fair Food Program signatory, you stated at the time of the announcement, "We have indicated that any solution must be industry-wide… but we are willing to play a leadership role within our industry to be part of the solution. We hope others in the restaurant industry and supermarket retail trade will follow our leadership." Now, eight years later, Wendy's is "the rest of the industry" that needs to join the Program.
Until now, however, Wendy's has publicly stated that it already pays a premium for its Florida tomato purchases and only buys from growers within the Fair Food Program. Such misleading statements do a disservice to Wendy's brand and reputation. As you well know, whatever premium Wendy's may pay, it is unrelated to the Fair Food Program and does nothing to raise farmworkers' wages. Moreover, the Fair Food Program works because it has teeth: Retailers commit to supporting farms that uphold a necessary set of labor standards and suspend their purchases from farms that are unwilling to comply. Only by joining its competitors in making that commitment can Wendy's assure its customers that it is doing its part to ensure that farmworkers who pick its tomatoes are treated with dignity and respect.
Wendy's promotes its sourcing of "honest ingredients" and its sustainable business practices, to which we as food justice advocates are also dedicated. But you must understand that today's consumers expect and demand that farmworkers, whose work makes possible Wendy's continued growth, also constitute an integral part of that vision. To portray your company as taking the necessary steps to uphold farmworker rights while doing no such thing–when a proven and verifiable solution exists–can only be described as disingenuous.
As Wendy's looks to modernize its brand to position itself as "a cut above" their fast-food counterparts, it must understand that a new logo is insufficient to transform an old-fashioned approach to human rights. Only a true commitment to just treatment of workers in your supply chain can assure Wendy's of smooth sailing in the 21st Century. We within the food justice movement urge you to seize this moment as an opportunity to uphold those values and act immediately to join with the CIW and the Florida tomato industry in building a better tomorrow.

Why Time Is Faster In Space?
Time dilation goes back to Einstein's theory of special relativity, which teaches us that motion through space actually creates alterations in the flow of time. … The clock in motion will tick more slowly than the clocks we're watching on Earth.

14 How cold is space?
Do you age faster in space?
Flying through outer space has dramatic effects on the body, and people in space experience aging at a faster rate than people on Earth. … These studies showed that space alters gene function, function of the cell's powerhouse (mitochondria), and the chemical balance in cells.
How much time on Earth is 1 hour in space?
The first planet they land on is close to a supermassive black hole, dubbed Gargantuan, whose gravitational pull causes massive waves on the planet that toss their spacecraft about. Its proximity to the black hole also causes an extreme time dilation, where one hour on the distant planet equals 7 years on Earth.
Are there dead bodies in space?
Remains are generally not scattered in space so as not to contribute to space debris. Remains are sealed until the spacecraft burns up upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere or they reach their extraterrestrial destinations.
Do we age in space?
Spaceflight influences biology in dramatic ways, and people in space appear to experience the effects of aging faster than people on Earth. … The health effects associated with spaceflight have several similarities to aging-related disorders, such as cancer and osteoporosis.
How long is 1 day in space?
It is approximately 24 hours, 39 minutes, 35 seconds long. A Martian year is approximately 668 sols, equivalent to approximately 687 Earth days or 1.88 Earth years.
How long can a human live in space?
Astronauts need space suits to stay alive. You could only last 15 seconds without a spacesuit — you'd die of asphyxiation or you'll freeze. If there's any air left in your lungs, they will rupture.
Why is a day 23 hours and 56 minutes?
The sidereal day happens each time Earth completes a 360-degree rotation. That takes 23 hours and 56 minutes. The solar day — the one humans count in the calendar — happens when Earth spins just a little further, and the sun is at the same point in the sky as it was 24 hours ago.
What happens if an astronaut gets pregnant in space?
While sex in space could present some mechanical problems, conceiving a child in the final frontier might be downright dangerous. "There are many risks to conception in low or microgravity, such as ectopic pregnancy," Woodmansee said.
Has anyone ever floated away in space?
The STS-41B was launched on February 3, 1984. Four days later, on February 7, McCandless stepped out of the space shuttle Challenger into nothingness. As he moved away from the spacecraft, he floated freely without any earthly anchor.
Are there dead monkeys in space?
Lapik and Multik were the last monkeys in space until Iran launched one of its own in 2013. The pair flew aboard Bion 11 from December 24, 1996, to January 7, 1997. Upon return, Multik died while under anesthesia for US biopsy sampling on January 8. Lapik nearly died while undergoing the identical procedure.
Why don't we age in space?
That's because space-time isn't flat — it's curved, and it can be warped by matter and energy. … And for astronauts on the International Space Station, that means they get to age just a tiny bit slower than people on Earth. That's because of time-dilation effects.
How long is 1 second in space?
The light-second is a unit of length useful in astronomy, telecommunications and relativistic physics. It is defined as the distance that light travels in free space in one second, and is equal to exactly 299,792,458 metres (983,571,056 ft).
Do you get taller in space?
Astronauts in space can grow up to 3 per cent taller during the time spent living in microgravity, NASA scientists say. Therefore, if an astronaut is a 6-foot-tall (1.8 meters) person, he or she could gain as many as 2 inches (5 centimetres) while in orbit, says the Scientific American.
How cold is space?
Hot things move quickly, cold things very slowly. If atoms come to a complete stop, they are at absolute zero. Space is just above that, at an average temperature of 2.7 Kelvin (about minus 455 degrees Fahrenheit). But space is mostly full of, well, empty space.


This functionality is only relevant when you merge into a MultiTerm termbase.
Although the example below uses a multiline format, it's recommended you only use entry numbers with spreadsheets int the the full support format, to ensure proper Synonym Handling.
This is not to annoy you, but to avoid conflicts between entry number and multiline merging. Look at the second example below: The multiline format defines the two lines with ball to be the same entry, while the entry number field defines them as being different. The converter will convert something, but it may not be what you want.
MultiTerm automatically assigns an entry number to each entry, or concept. When you convert from a termbase, this number can be saved in the target as a field called entry number.
It can come handy, though, if you merge different versions of the same glossary, and have new homonyms. As in MultiTerm, you can choose to merge not on a language, but on the unique entry number, which defines the terms that belong together. As an example, take the two spreadsheets below. The first is the basic termbase, the second a newer edit, where someone has added a new word. You now want to integrate the new version with the old one.
Without an id, you have to merge by language, and the termbase will neither distinguish the different meaning for ball, nor reflect that part means the same as ball.
Note: the field must be called entry number for this to work, and it must be an entry field (i.e. must appear in a spreadsheet before the first language.
If you have just one excel file with entry numbers, and you want to make sure that there are no duplicate entry numbers are correct when converting to sdltb, use merge mode. You can "merge" just one file. This may be useful when you added extra lines to the spreadsheet with an entry number that is already used somewhere else in the file.
When merging to a termbase, using the entry number field, it is not represented as a field in the resulting termbase, instead you will find it as the entry number property in MultiTerm. If you want to keep it as an editable text field, rename the column in the spreadsheet to something else than entry number.
You can in principle merge multiple glossaries on the entry number, even if one of them has no entry number fields. In that case unique numbers are assigned during import. There is no guarantee, though, that entry numbers are preserved: if there are any clashes between the original and automatic numbers, values can change in unpredictable ways.

Roger Goodell Says The Stadiums In Oakland, San Diego, And St. Louis Are Not Sufficient For Professional Football
LA Times- The current stadiums in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego are "unsatisfactory and inadequate," and the proposed solutions are not viable to keep the Raiders, Rams and Chargers in their home markets, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a report distributed Saturday to all 32 teams.
The contents of the 48-page report were disclosed to The Times by someone who has seen it but is not authorized to discuss it publicly.
The intent of the report is to establish facts about the home markets, as the league views them, heading into a special meeting in Houston on Tuesday and Wednesday to resolve the two-decade L.A. vacancy.
The report does not give teams the green light to move to Los Angeles — that will be determined by owners' voting — but establishes that the home markets have failed to provide stadium solutions.
Can you believe that? Out of all the stadiums in the National Football League, it's only the three that are currently home to the teams attempting to relocate to Los Angeles that are unsatisfactory. What incredible luck! It's no secret that the Roger Goodell has wanted to move at least one team to Southern California for some time now so it shouldn't surprising that so many franchises are chomping at the bit to do so. However, for every last one of those franchises to play in a venue that's unfit for professional football? What are the odds of that happening?! That makes these negotiations wayyyy easier to navigate. If Roger wasn't already making $40 million dollars a year to occasionally suspend someone I would say he should try his hot hand at Powerball. The guys is rolling nothing but 7's right now. Three teams that could potentially become more profitable to the NFL by moving to a larger market, and coincidentally we JUST figured out that all of their working conditions are inadequate? That's a little thing we call fate. The Chargers, Raiders, and Rams are basically playing in death traps and we didn't even realize it until proposals to open up billion dollar stadiums in Inglewood and Carson became realistic. Can't ignore a sign that bright. Goodell isn't a villain for leaving three fanbases high and dry, he's a hero for trying to find a safer home for their players. This is like trying to choose which girl you want to date and then they all tell you they are polygamists. The potential for THREE different teams in LA?! Talk about having your cake and exploiting it too. Roger Goodell's options are endless, and it's a result of nothing other than good old fashioned serendipity.


Apricot Glazed Pork Chops is ideal preparation for a family meal or a festive table. It's a simple recipe, easy and very quick to do and the result over expectations, a refined taste and exquisite flavors.
It is a versatile dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner, they can also be reicalzite and are just as tasty.


I am lover of serums, but never have I encountered one quite like the FutureDerm Vitamin CE Caffeic 16+2 Serum. Typically I like serums because they are lighter than most moisturizers, which is heaven to someone like me who has suffered her whole life with oily-skin problems like acne and scarring. Moisturizers aren't necessarily a problem, but when something is a bit thinner it seems to work better for me.
The Vitamin CE Caffeic 16+2 Serum is actually pretty thick and sort of sticky. I wasn't in love at first. I was sort of panicked actually. I don't typically accept things for review that I don't think I will love. So, for testing sake I stuck it out and followed directions. I used it exactly as it says to. I applied little to almost none all over my face. It was pretty sticky but after I applied my moisturizer over it the stickiness would disappear. My face still felt like it had something on it though and applying actual makeup overtop became useless. I do need to note that I have a limited time to get ready in the morning. If I gave the product the time it needs to sink in I would definitely be ok for makeup application.
I kept right on doing the serum and moisturizer thing everyday (morning and night) without applying makeup for daytime. Luckily my job doesn't force me to deal directly with the public so I didn't really mind going to work looking plain. But after about a week of doing this I started to see my skin transforming. I am a highly freckled person. Some of it is sun damage because I love the outdoors. This serum made my freckles lighten and somewhat disappear. My redness and discoloration had drastically improved. Even though it is a rare thing that I break out anymore, I do still have an occasional blemish but during the weeks I tested this NOT ONE came about.
… as for all of the product info, here goes.
"This brightening, tightening serum contains an unprecedented 16% vitamin C, 2% vitamin E, and caffeic acid, all suspended in a state-of-the-art silicone base.
So for a demonstration I wanted to show you what it does to my hand INSTANTLY. On the left you see my hand free of any sort of product or moisturizer. You can see in the far left and middle picture that my hand is really dry… looking sort of like the cracked surface of a dried up lake or body of water. In the middle picture I placed 3 tiny drops of the serum. The warmth of my hand thinned the serum out within seconds and it started spreading on its own. This tiny bit of product actually moisturized the back of my hand and my entire arm up to my elbow. YES! That small amount is enough for my ARM. On the right, you can see that the cracky looking skin is gone. It is shiny, plump and healthy. This was all within one minute. It has now been an hour since I applied he product and the stickiness is completely gone but the youthful shiny plumpness remains.
FutureDerm Vitamin CE Caffeic Serum is really fantastic. I am in awe. The science that Nicki Zevola from FutureDerm put into this has proven perfection. It retails for $89 and the 1.7 fl oz bottle is enough to last you forever. I have had my bottle for almost a month and I have only used 1/10 of it. And that was me being pretty careless at first and applying too much. The results are honestly out of this world. I have been leaving my house for almost a month now not wearing makeup, yall! This is serious. You need to go get you a bottle of perfect skin in a jar!

5 Ways to Protect Your Pets from Summer Heat | Canine Chat Forum • The Dog Lover's Community!
Discussion in 'Canine Chat' started by Michele, Jul 13, 2017.
If your home is too warm, you might see your pup leaving behind damp paw prints, signaling that they're sweating, or notice your cat curled up in a corner obsessively grooming, trying to remain cool. Along with providing your typical fan or air conditioner, help them chill indoors by supplying a cooling bed or mat, available from pet retailers.
"Breeds whose hair grows constantly, such as shih tzus, Lhasa apsos and poodles, may benefit from a summer clip," says Jessica Vogelsang, DVM, author of All Dogs Go to Kevin. But a short clip can permanently alter the coat of huskies, Pomeranians and other pups. Most pets, especially cats, may need their coat to stay cool naturally. If you're pondering a trim, check with your groomer first.
When the temperature soars beyond 90 degrees, your pet should avoid direct sunlight while outdoors. "This is especially true of dogs with dark-colored fur, who absorb heat more quickly than those who are lighter colored," says Kellogg. In your backyard, encourage your dog or cat to lie under a tree that provides shade, or use an umbrella or tarp to shield them from the sun.
Not even for just a moment. "The interior of a car can jump 20 degrees or more in a matter of minutes when it's sunny out," says Vogelsang. And keeping the windows slightly open won't help matters either. If your pet is tagging along for a drive, remember to take them with you when you step out of the vehicle.
If you notice these signs of overheating, get your pet to the vet immediately.
Good to know: Persian cats and dog breeds such as boxers, pugs and bulldogs are more susceptible to the dangers of heat because their short noses and airways make it harder for them to pant.
Yes,these are the best way to keep your dog hydrated and you can also regularly keep cleaning your dog by using various pet cleaning vaccums.


Ford Mustang is all set to arrive in the local showrooms across Australia by the end of 2015. Ford Mustang's base model begins around $45,000 which is relatively less than what it used to be. When compared to Ford Mustang's 2001 model which was priced around $85,000 for a coupe and $89,000 for a convertible, the price of the latest 2015 Ford Mustang is just a little over than its half price. Nonetheless, when compared to what the US customers pay; Australians will be paying around $20,000 more for the same car. However, car buffs here do not mind it at all as even before its launch, 2000 cars are already booked and that's something remarkable, says Ford Australia.
Since late 2013, the Blue Oval brand has been creating quite a buzz when it was confirmed that Ford Australia would be bringing in the new model for the first time in years. As of December 2014, Ford Australia has received around 600 bookings; however, the curiosity seems to have increased when the pricing for Ford Mustang was declared during March 2015.
"The Eco-Boost 4-cylinder fastback version which is turbo-powered will be priced around $45,000 and on-road costs extra", this is for the base model. The price would be around $55,000 for the V8 version. At an added cost of around $7500, convertible versions will be accessible.
Ford Mustang's variant – GT Fastback automatic that comes with 5.0-litre V8 engine is catching up much attention and is in high demand than the entry, base model of Ford's latest pony car. As per Ford, roughly around 42% of all orders received are for this particular variant. However, Ford is anticipating that shift will happen gradually and that Eco-Boost variant will not only make for better sales but also will maintain sales in the long run compared to most performance cars.
What's special this time around is the fact that even before the pricing or specifications were announced for the car, some of the customers had even made their bookings. David Blackwood, the chief from Bayford Group Victoria dealership says that he has never seen such a trend before.
Across the Mustang models, the performance pack will remain standard, stated Ford. This performance pack will include unique chassis tuning, an upsized rear sway bar on the fastback, heavy duty front springs, and to safeguard the suspension strut towers to the bulkhead – it comes with "K Brace" under the bonnet. A rear limited-slip differential is fitted in all variants.
As far as the colour choices are concerned, racing red colour is the most widely preferred choice by Australian customers, which is very closely followed by pure black and magnetic.
As per Ford, "A number of Mustang fans along with members of the different state based Mustang clubs have placed more than one order comprising of different variants of the prominent car, and total 20 orders have been placed by a recognised sports car rental company".
Cumberland Ford is one of the reputed and well established Ford dealers in Sydney and has all models of Ford Mustang for sale. So, if you are planning to buy one of the variants of Ford Mustang, immediately get in touch!
Front suspension – double ball-joint independent Macpherson strut and tubular stabiliser bar.


Debbie Wasserman Schultz is another of those people who will never be mistaken for pro-gun. However, just so that no one gets confused in the least. Wasserman Schultz decides to join in on attempts from the anti-gun forces to stigmatize gun owners.
Why else would she join in with the chorus of people trying to paint the nation's oldest civil rights organization as a terrorist group?
Meanwhile, Wasserman Schultz proves that she's about nine kinds of idiot, and I'm lowballing here.
For one thing, these "young people" who are "standing up to make sure that we can keep people safe" are the same people who have vandalized private property and harassed the spouses of NRA officials. North's use of the term "civil terrorism" was meant to differentiate it from what people typically think of as terrorism, not because the goals are any different. No, it's just about how far on the other side of acceptable behavior they were willing to go.
Meanwhile, claiming the NRA is anything close to a terrorist organization is laughable. The NRA has never advocated violence. It's never advocated any brand of lawlessness. It's never advocated for anything that could be construed as terrorism by anyone but an anti-gun zealot.
But I will grant her one thing. The NRA is responsible for the current state of violence in this country.
I mean, violent crime has been dropping for something like 25 years or so at this point, most of it post-assault weapon ban. This has coincided with the rise of concealed carry and even constitutional carry in a number of states as well as record gun sales. The efforts of activists and groups like the NRA have increased the number of guns in private hands, thus contributing directly to the reduction of violent crime.
Oh, I know that's not what she meant, but what she meant is nonsense. Especially since she's laboring under this delusion that we're in a more violent time than we were in the past. We're not, and that's because of pro-gun activists and groups, not whiney anti-gunners and their hurt feelings.
But that doesn't matter. People like Wasserman Schultz will constantly keep pushing that the NRA is anything like a terrorist organization, understanding well that if you repeat a lie long enough, people will accept it as the truth.
The problem is, it's not, and we're not about to stand here and let anyone claim otherwise without presenting actual evidence.

Photo @dolescent member crush: Diana Sinclair
Adolescent Content
This is a weekly series where we feature our incredibly talented Adolescent members and their work! Sign up here to join the Adolescent Membership and be part of the @ family!
This week's Member Crush is a special one. We're thrilled to introduce you to Diana Sinclair, a photographer, creative, and activist based in the NJ/NYC area. At the early age of thirteen, she began her art career by showcasing at shows in Brooklyn and Hoboken. Currently, she's working as co-EIC of More Color Media, an online platform created for marginalized voices to gain a spotlight in mainstream media. She's also the Art Director of Redefy, a teen organization focused on educating teens around the world about current events. Diana creates graphics to be used from Nigeria to Japan. She's also the social media manager for Towards Utopia, a non-profit fundraising initiative currently working to sell prints to raise money for Black trans women and sex workers. For their feature, we asked Diana about how 2020 has affected them, what it's like shooting in New York, and how they plan different vibes for different projects.
Adolescent Content: Tell us a little bit about yourself! Where are you from? How old are you? How are you spending your time these days?
Diana Sinclair: My name is Diana, I'm a Black queer creative, and I use she/they pronouns. At the moment, I'm trying to keep my sanity intact, and the (maybe not so healthy) way I do that is by keeping myself very, very busy. I'm working with photographer and professor Zak Krevitt, chiefly on his non-profit creation Towards Utopia. You might've seen the organization's name in the recent press; so far we've raised over $100,000 for charities supporting Black trans women and sex workers through selling prints donated by numerous incredible artists. On my own, I'm working on my own fundraiser to sell shirts of my design in support of BLM charities, made in collaboration with NYC-based fashion designer Cassandra Hobbins, while also putting together shoot concepts with different creatives that reach out to create. I'm also a swim coach and trying to finish up my high school diploma!
Adolescent: How has 2020 changed your work and style?
Diana: The events of this year haven't changed much about my work. This year I began experimenting more with photography, and thankfully I've had the time to pursue that to any capacity I've wanted. I think due to having fewer interactions in person, I've been able to build more of a community online, and that has helped me branch out and do more in a weird sense. I've met models, other creatives who have encouraged me, and people who have supported what I've made more than ever before, all through social media.
Adolescent: Can you tell me about your shooting process, from coming up with a concept to editing the photos?
Diana: My shooting process is very personal—not meaning it's necessarily deep, but it's not a process that would matter very much to anyone else besides myself. Plus, it's a process that's always fluctuating. I'm an artist first and foremost, so creating is dependent on so many factors, and the process can begin at any stage. To somewhat answer the question, for others who may be involved in the shoot, beforehand I work to create a "vibe board/folder" so that everyone on the team understands what mood we're working to achieve. What happens before or after that is up to how the idea came to be and whatever steps happen to occur along the way. I'm usually very happy with the end result, and it's way more enjoyable when the process is dynamic. Of course, when shooting for clients, there's a fixed process for clarity on what's expected for all sides.
Adolescent: How does being in NYC and New Jersey affect your work?
Diana: Most of my creating has been done in NYC, and I can't say that New Jersey has made much of an impact on me. At least when creating in NYC, it's always encouraging seeing all the diverse personalities and things that just happen on the street. Sometimes I get anxiety about shooting in public, but NYC has really allowed me to thrive and be the creative I want to be. If you're a Manhattan native you may catch me laid out flat on the sidewalk trying to get a worm's-eye shot, and doing what I need to in order to get the good photo, haha.
Adolescent: What's it been like being an Adolescent Member?
Diana: Especially at the beginning of quarantine back in April, Adolescent provided many opportunities for enclosed young creatives who really needed a reason to create. I was able to meet a lot of people across the country and beyond who encouraged my work and I've been able to support them as well. Having that sort of community at a tough time was definitely a welcome and positive distraction from what felt like a world-ending event.
