MODERN DRUMMER MAGAZINE REVIEW
GLOSS MAGAZINE INTERVIEW
glossmagazineonline.com/Articles/Entertainment/Camille-Gainer-Jones-Enjoying-the-Journey.html
Deeply rooted and influenced by her East Coast background, percussionist Camille Gainer Jones marches to the beat of her own drum, literally. Surrounded by the influence of artists James Brown, Count Basie, Marcus Miller and others, the drummer's eclectic sound fuses Soul, Reggae, R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz and Rock. The student of the legendary Michael Carvin of Motown uses the influences from her past as part of her inspiration to create her unique sound.
"These were people whose records I had and recordings I owned, but to have them live in the same neighborhood and to meet them was incredible," she says. "The inspiration for my CD was everything I listened to growing up, the music I listen to now and my development as a musician and an artist. Wanting to have your own project is inspiration too because I don't think you can remain a side person forever. That's my inspiration."
The versatile artist served in the U.S. Army for four years and when she's not performing, she's mentoring others as she teaches hip hop and gospel classes at the Drummers Collective in New York City, along with other private lessons at her private studio. The composer also works with entertainer Wayne Brady.
Camille confesses she was the only musician in her family. The seed of music was nurtured during her childhood as she grew up with an exposure to the arts, music specifically. Between hearing all genres of music in her home and attending musicals, the artist couldn't deny her purpose. Camille says a birthday gift in her youth changed her life and the scope of her musical direction.
"I just had the feeling I could do it," she recounts, about playing the drums. "I kept bugging my parents about it. Before that, I played other instruments like the piano, guitar, the violin and things like that. My father woke me up at like 2:00 a.m. and I thought I was in trouble at first. He said, "Look at what I got you!" I screamed and that was it. I probably played until 6:00 a.m. that morning."
As the young artist spent hours rehearsing relentlessly and perfecting her craft, the New York native says she spent time in her neighborhood with people who knew how to play. With her band, they landed gigs at local parties and other gatherings where the young musician gained more experience and exposure in the music scene.
As she pays homage to drummers Sheila E. and Terri Lyne Carrington, Camille says she recognized some of the challenges female bandleaders face, although that glass ceiling was cracked by others before she stepped on the scene.
"I always took care of business and have been able to find work," she says, about the percussion profession. "You're always going to face obstacles, but you have to keep at it. No one can stop you because there are doors that were opened for you, but you have to have your stuff together. You have to be able to play. You can't not be able to play and blame it on people not hiring. You have to be on time and you have to be able to get along with people."
Music influences lives and Camille's genre-free music speaks a universal language, which is what music is ultimately about, she says.
"Categorizing music is basically a way for people to feel safe and to market things," she adds. "But, it's really an organic thing and when I sit down to write, I go with what comes out and that's what came out. If I'm doing music for the spirituality of playing music, I'm going to let it flow, let it rip and let whatever comes out."

Spirit work is a sacred and personal ground to walk. The ways in which we explore and unfold those higher parts of our beings are ever-evolving and vast. Many people today do not resonate with organized religion or traditional sources of connection to Source. Some find their spiritual nourishment in nature or reflective quiet time. Others connect to less structured venues like Oprah's Super Soul Sunday or their favorite personal development authors and speakers. Still others develop their relationship to their Higher Self and humanity on the yoga mat.
Regardless of your agent of choice, it is paramount to give yourself this space to grow and explore. Give yourself this space on a reliable and consistent basis as it is how we heal our wounds, redefine what is possible for our lives, and unlock the genius within that desperately wants to express. That is the call of our life purpose guiding us forward, and connecting with that call on a regular basis is a way of realigning with our intention and values.
Many friends and people I meet will share that they feel they are now or have undergone a spiritual awakening. Whether a result of a massive life event or the more gentle unfolding of their lives, they have a growing awareness of the thread of humanity that connects us all and the creative force of the Universe. When I ask them if they feel a supportive spiritual community would help them in furthering the shift and development in their lives, the response is usually a polite decline. Some have had negative past experiences with religious communities, and others simply feel that the spiritual path is to be traveled alone–that it will happen naturally in its own time.
I would offer a different perspective based on my own experience. Before I dive in, let me provide you with some context… I am fortunate to not have had a scarring experience from my past religious communities, however I did grow to have very mixed feelings about it. I was incredibly blessed with a supportive and nourishing traditional religious community growing up. I was very committed and it had a lasting impression on my person with an appreciation of service to others and vital personal relationships that saw me through some very challenging times. Even given the positive and meaningful impact of that community, I questioned the church politics and bureaucracy as well as the lack of total acceptance of individuals (e.g. the LGBTQ community and people of other faiths and beliefs) — although I wouldn't be able to pinpoint the latter and give it definition until much later. After I left for college and in the many years following, I searched for another community of the same faith that would fill that gaping hole left by the absence of my home church. As I grew and battled life's challenges, I struggled considerably and questioned my faith and beliefs. For the better part of a decade, I shopped other faiths, questioned the very existence of a higher power, and eventually stepped away from any form of organized religion.
When I reached that critical choice point of my healing journey a few years ago, I began exploring in a more broad sense. I listened to many strong voices in the realm of personal development as they resonated the strongest with me. They expressed a wisdom and way of being that felt deep and true. Many of them did not even address religion as their message was more about realizing your highest potential — of being and expressing more in the world. And as I started to heal and find my way back to a purpose-driven life, I had a moment of inspiration: there had to be people talking about this 'stuff' and there were most certainly people who knew more than I did from whom I could learn and share.
What I found was more than I ever expected and has profoundly changed my life. I certainly found the connection to deeper wisdom and support for which I was looking. In addition, there were a number of crucial unforeseen benefits and blessings that were gifted to me. First, there is incredible value in hearing the stories of others and in sharing your own story. It is one of the best ways to identify those areas of your life that require attention and healing. Second, the community can serve to help you expand your own personal vision of what is possible for your life and connect you to the tools and resources to help bring that into expression. My community dared to see me as perfect, whole, and complete — just as I was from my first day there and just as I am now. They saw unlimited potential and value in me. It has been a deeply personal journey to step into that truth for myself, one which I am still and will forever explore. The breadth and depth of my vision for my life has exponentially expanded, gaining clarity of purpose and greater potential. That vague ideal I once had to change the world has not only become tangible but empowered. Being able to see things through a lens other than your own is invaluable and critical in moving forward with your own development. It allows you to identify, question, and lay aside limiting beliefs, and in a very real sense, it allows you to explore your own depths. It is a complement to and not a replacement for looking within.
For me, that supportive spiritual community is Unity of Indianapolis. For you, it might be the same or something else entirely. My charge is for you to consider exploring and connecting to a community in which to share and grow. You may find untold treasures and incomparable support. Perhaps consider that a supportive spiritual community can look and feel differently from any of your expectations or previous experiences. At the time I found Unity, I only had a vague idea that I should connect with people face-to-face in my area. I didn't even know I was looking for a church, but was hoping for a meet-up group or book club. It can certainly be a church or traditional religious organization, but it can be any group that serves your own unfoldment. You already have all the answers inside of you but, as mirrors and support for each other, we are stronger and can go further together.

Professor Juliet Koss named to Gabrielle Jungels-Winkler Chair in the History of Architecture and Art
Juliet Koss, professor of art history, has been appointed to the Gabrielle Jungels-Winkler Chair in the History of Architecture and Art, effective October 15, 2018.
Professor Koss joined the College in 2000, when she received her PhD in the History and Theory of Art and Architecture from the Department of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, having earned a BA in Art History from Columbia College in New York. She has been a valuable member of the Scripps faculty as well as a significant contributor to the Program in Art History at The Claremont Colleges, teaching such courses as European Modernism, the Bauhaus, the Russian and Soviet Avant-Gardes, Old New Media, and Representing the Metropolis. In 2005 she founded the Department of Art History at Scripps; she also regularly teaches in the Core program, both in Core I and, more recently, with Core II and Core III classes. Promoted to full professor in 2018, Professor Koss has been elected multiple times by her colleagues to the Faculty Executive Committee and has chaired the Committee on Academic Review and the Academic Policy Subcommittee, twice each. She has been awarded the Mary W. Johnson Faculty Achievement Award three times, once for teaching and twice for research, and served as Director of the Humanities Institute in fall 2014 with a semester's offerings on the theme of "silence."
Professor Koss has published extensively on modern European architecture and art, with an emphasis on German and Soviet modernism, and she lectures regularly both nationally and internationally. Her scholarship has been supported by, among others, the Getty Research Institute; the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal; the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts; and, for two and a half years, the Humboldt Foundation in Germany. A Fellow of the American Academy in Berlin in 2009 and a Visiting Scholar at the Harriman Institute for Russian, Eurasian, and East European Studies at Columbia University in 2015 and 2016, she also served in 2011 as the Rudolf Arnheim Visiting Professor at the Humboldt University in Berlin. Her book Modernism after Wagner (University of Minnesota Press, 2010) was shortlisted for the prestigious Charles Rufus Morey Award from the College Art Association; her current book project, Model Soviets, explores the status and function of models—architectural designs, art objects, and more abstract visions of future possibilities—in the first two Soviet decades.
Scripps College recognizes Professor Koss' contributions to the Scripps community and her scholarly standing by her appointment to the Gabrielle Jungels-Winkler Chair in the History of Architecture and Art.

Mental health is an integral part of health. Without mental health, there is no health.
Along those lines, we all know we should be eating right, exercising, making lifestyle choices that are responsible for good health. However, those are choices usually associated with physical health, not mental health.
Dr. Greenblatt discusses with us stress, depression, schizophrenia, and yes, the what seems to be, a recent epidemic of suicides. Did you know that most people who commit suicide had sought health treatment in the last 30 days before the suicide?
Biological model of suicide prevention…understanding markers to go from stress to suicide.
cholesterol & mental health…..will surprise you!

The house is an 1925 Tybee Cottage. You would be on the second floor with two stairways out. Three porches, include front screened- being redone as we speak, and the side porch as well as a back porch. The cottage has two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with two sets of bund beds. There is a breakfast bar and living area. It is 850 square feet. The porches measure approximately 1450 square feet. The back stairway has a heated outdoor shower under it. With the shared laundry and gas grill off the back patio. The front stairs has a storage area under it plus the storage under the front porch holds all the beach chairs, carts, wagon, and trivia for the beach. The excess kitchen equipment is housed there as well.
The driveway holds two cars for you and one for me. It is not covered, but is a stone paved drive. The house is advertised on Airbnb and VRBO as The Summer House. Traditionally it is rented during the summer with half of the downstairs as well, however, I have chosen to keep that myself this winter. The extra bedroom and bath are NOT part of the winter rental.
The house is equipped with everything you need except food, beach towels, and toiletries.
It is located within walking distance from the Tybee Market in a residential area. In a safe neighborhood, yet close enough to walk to almost everything on the island. You can easily walk "Down Front" to the pier and pavilion area with shops and restaurants and the beach is 2 blocks away.

Utilities The heat is electric and all utilities are paid. Gas grill located in the rear. Two garbage cans, one recycling. Local phone calls, can be removed if preferred. Internet service and cable tv with the movie channels and sports too.
Additional Rate Information A damage deposit of $500.00 is payable upon start date. Refunded within a week of leaving. 100$ a month discount for continual months.
Name: Caren -texting is best!
Tell them: "I saw your property on georgiasnowbird.com"


Here's the general rule of thumb. You should pay about 70% of the after repair value (ARV) minus repairs. So, after repairs if you think the house will sell for $100,000.00 and needs $10,000.00 in repairs you should pay $60,000.00.

A Plymouth chef has been named the best in his profession in the whole of the South West.
Dave Jenkins, who works at Rock Salt Café and Salumi, picked up the prestigious award at the Food Reader Awards 2019 and now joins the likes of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Nathan Outlaw, who have previously received the award.
Rock Salt won 'best restaurant' at the awards in 2017, and also holds two AA rosettes and has had mentions in the Sunday Times Cheap Eats, Lonely Planet Guide and the Sunday Telegraph's Stella magazine.
Dave said: "It was such a great honour to win! It felt like all the hard work since starting up Rock Salt eight years ago and then Salumi, had been appreciated by our lovely customers.
More than 25,000 people voted across the 12 categories, but Dave and Rock Salt were the only winners from Plymouth, with Tigermilk at The Duke of Cornwall receiving runner-up in the 'best cocktail bar' category.
Rock Salt received a five-star hygiene rating in October and is a family-run business.
The bijou eatery, based in a former pub, opened in 2011 and two years later had made it into the prestigious Good Food Guide.
In 2015 the family reopened the closed-down former Sippers pub as Salumi.
Food magazine editor Jo Rees said: "Dave Jenkins from Rock Salt Cafe and all the finalists exemplify the leading, creative and groundbreaking food and drink businesses we have in the South West.
The awards night was hosted at The Greenbank Hotel in Falmouth, by one of Salt Media's founding directors, Jo Rees, along with Nick Hodges, executive chef at The Greenbank and sister hotel, The Alverton in Truro.
The team at The Greenbank treated guests to a sumptuous supper of paupiette of megrim sole, crab rosti and samphire shrimp, followed by Nanteague Farm seared beef fillet and glazed short rib.
The meal was accompanied by beers from Sharp's Brewery, and a wine flight courtesy of Enotria & Coe. Petis fours were served with The Wrecking Coast Distillery's Honey Sloe Gin.


Should consumer-facing marketing campaigns use celebrity endorsers?
Celebrities can be an asset to a campaign but also a liability. If PR practitioners want to use a star to promote a brand, they should make sure he or she fits their goals.
One of the first questions we often get from clients is "do we need a celebrity?" The usual answer is "Yes, it would help."
Now, we are not saying a celebrity spokesperson is a must have in any situation, but we know media consumption of celebrity news is high.
We also know the positive impact of celebrity endorsement on brands is a constant source of study, from research firms to business media companies such as Harvard Business Review.
With so much focus on celebrities, it makes sense to harness the power of fame to bring a needed layer to a campaign - news value, credibility, and target audience engagement potential - that may be lacking. Celebrities can create greater awareness for a brand.
But in this age of the more informed consumer, just partnering with any celebrity will not work. The process of identifying the right showbiz partner is a science. We operate within a methodical, highly researched process, not just a haphazard quick pick.
Celebrities, when properly incorporated into a program, can break through the crowded media space to increase brand awareness and recall. They can lend their credibility to a campaign, leading to improved brand preference.
Along with this, they can leverage established fan bases and can add value to a campaign through their assets such as databases, social media, and book and music tours.
Celebrities come from a variety of backgrounds and industries, enabling them to reach niche markets that correspond with key demographic markets.
But when determining the right celebrity spokesperson, reach and relevance are key. A celebrity must be able to extend and amplify your message on a large scale. In addition to falling within the budget, the value of the fee must justify the cost.
Also, any celebrity being considered for a campaign must align with the brand values and have a history of speaking out in favor of causes or issues relevant to the brand.
With reports of celebrities getting big bucks - sometimes $10,000 or more - just to tweet a brand endorsement, some PR people think celebrities equal big returns. But often it is a waste of money.
If the PR stars align, sometimes the right famous person can lead to increased brand awareness and even boost sales. But remember, for every Taylor Swift, there is a Lindsay Lohan.
Here are three reasons why you should think twice before sinking your PR dollars into a celebrity's designer pockets.
Star power is no media guarantee. Many brands partner with celebrities because they believe the star power will get them instant media buzz.
But unless you secure an A-list name who is relevant to current pop culture, you or your client will likely be disappointed in the level of media coverage achieved. Competition for top-tier media coverage is fierce. A D-list celebrity may not get you a lot of national media buzz.
So manage news coverage expectations if your celebrity spokesperson is not a superstar.
Celebrities behaving badly. Charlie Sheen. Tiger Woods. Lindsay Lohan. Need I say any more?
When celebrities exhibit bad behavior, this reflects poorly on your brand. And even if they're not getting pulled over, arrested, or caught cheating, a recent study at the University of Colorado showed celebrity endorsements don't always work in the positive way that marketers hope. It showed that a celebrity's negative traits were more likely to be transferred to the brand than the positive.
Real people sell. In 14 years of taking products and services and creating newsworthy stories that appeal to a wide audience, I've found that real people sell the story better.
Find the right person who has a problem your brand is solving, and you've now got a compelling story that can be told to the media and pushed out directly to your customers.
So you can save your $10,000 tweeting fee and know your brand reputation won't hang in the balance of the Kardashian sisters' wardrobe malfunctions.
Celebrities can be an asset to a campaign but also a liability. If PR practitioners want to use a star to promote a brand, they should make sure he or she fits their goals, is well-behaved, and is worth the price of their large fee.
Gloves Off: Should firms publish their diversity data?
Should brands get snarky with competitors and customers?
Gloves Off: Is relevance really more important than trust for brands?

BJP's Amit Shah calls Mahatma Gandhi 'bahut chatur baniya'; Congress demands apology
BJP president Amit Shah said Mahatma Gandhi was a "bahut chatur baniya", who had correctly advised that the Congress be dissolved after Independence.
By : Devyani Sultania
BJP president Amit Shah.Twitter/Amit Shah
BJP president Amit Shah, while addressing "prominent citizens" in Raipur on Friday, said that Mahatma Gandhi was a "bahut chatur baniya", which translates to a very shrewd baniya, who had correctly advised that the Congress be dissolved after Independence. "Baniya" refers to the mercantile caste that Gandhi belonged to.
Shah added that the Congress party did not follow any ideology or principle and was, in a way, a "special purpose vehicle" to secure freedom. "The Congress party... was constituted as a club by a British man. It was later converted into an organisation engaged in the freedom struggle," Shah said, adding that it consisted of both right and left-leaning people like Maulana Azad, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya and several others.
"People of various ideologies and thinking associated themselves with Congress to gain independence. Congress didn't have any ideology or set of principles and it was only used as a special purpose vehicle to secure freedom," the BJP president said.
In what seemed to be a dig at the Congress leadership, the BJP president added that Gandhi couldn't dismiss the Congress, but now some are completing the task that Gandhi had suggested.
"There are some parties where only dynastic rule prevails. It was clear that after Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi would take over, but nobody can predict who would be the next BJP president after me," Shah said.
The remarks did not go down well with the Congress party which demanded an apology from not only Shah, but also Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Chhattisgarh Congress general secretary Shailesh Nitin Trivedi said: "Such a comment on the father of the nation is highly condemnable. Shah has crossed limits of politics."
Congress spokesperson in Delhi Randeep Surjewala also lashed out at Shah saying that his remarks were "an insult to freedom fighters, their sacrifices and also to Gandhi."


When it comes to investing, it's definitely smart to focus on high-quality companies. But this does not mean you should avoid more speculative plays. Low-price, cheap stocks can represent tremendous opportunities.
Take Tandem Diabetes Care (NASDAQ:TNDM) as an example. At the beginning of the year, the company's prospects looked bleak, with the stock price at $2.50. But the company would go on to receive favorable FDA rulings and its new diabetes product saw its sales jump. The result was that TNDM stock climbed to $33!
Aurora Mobile (NASDAQ:JG), which is a Chines mobile big data platform, launched its IPO a few weeks ago. But unfortunately, Wall Street wasn't impressed. JG stock has since fallen about 32%.
And yes, the growth ramp has been robust. Last year, JG posted a sizzling 305% spike in revenues — to $45.4 million — and the customer base went from 1,168 to 2,263.
For the year so far, YogaWorks (NASDAQ:YOGA) has not provided a Zen experience for investors. Instead, it's been rather stressful. YOGA stock is off about 32%.
Despite this, company's management has still been making some good moves. They have involved adjustments in the marketing, experimentation with classes andschedules and price increases. In the latest quarter, there was a 21% increase in visitors.
Another bright spot is MyYogaWorks.com, which is a source of digital subscriptions. Keep in mind that YOGA has been leveraging the asset with corporate accounts, such as Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL). The employees get discounted memberships for their wellness program.
Finally, YOGA has remained committed to its M&A strategy. The opportunity is enormous in the yoga space as there are over 33,000 studios in the US.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company (NASDAQ:HMHC) is certainly an iconic company. Founded in 1832, it has published global brands like Curious George, Webster's New World Dictionary, Cliffs Notes and The Lord of the Rings. The company's authors have won 10 Nobel Prizes and 48 Pulitzer Prizes.
But the situation should get better in the next couple years. California, Texas and Florida plan to make purchases next year. HMHC estimates the opportunity at a hefty $3.2 billion.
I.D. Systems (NASDAQ:IDSY) is a top provider of machine-to-machine technologies, which help with securing, tracking and managing cars, industrial vehicles and cargo. The company has over 500 customers like Ford (NYSE:F), Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Home Depot (NYSE:HD).
IDSY's systems help improve safety, efficiency and productivity. There is also a portfolio of 50 patents.
Even though IDSY is in a red-hot market, Wall Street has mostly ignored it. But this does look like a mistake. In the latest quarter, revenues jumped by 38% to $14.8 million on a year-over-year basis and the sequential increase was 11%. A key driver was a major deal with Avis Budget Group.
The consumer hardware business can be brutal, as seen with Fitbit (NYSE:FIT). Despite efforts to bolster its product line, nothing seems to work. FIT stock is down more than 80% since its IPO.
So can the company get its mojo back? Actually, I think it can. Just look at the Versa smartwatch, which has been a winner. In fact, the CEO has noted that the company will return to growth and profitability in the second half of this year.
FIT also has been working hard to get a piece of the healthcare market. While it's been a slog, the company has been making progress. The Fitbit Health solutions platform is integrated with over 100 health plans in the U.S.
Finally, FIT stock is fairly cheap, with the price-to-sales ratio at 0.88X. The company also has $580 million in cash and no long-term debt — with the market cap at $1.33 billion.
Not long ago, Trivago (NASDAQ:TRVG) was a high-growth company. But as of now, the situation has reversed in a big way. For the year so far, TRVG is off about 38%.
The main issue: the company is having a tough time monetizing its traffic.
Although, perhaps the biggest attraction of TRVG stock is that it is selling at a steep discount — in terms of the price-to-sales ratio, which is at only 1.26X — to other rivals. In other words, even a few pieces of good news is likely to perk up the share price.
The local e-commerce market is massive but it is tough to crack. Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN), however, is definitely not giving up.
The company, whose mission is to create a "daily habit in local commerce," is generating positive EBITDA and cash flows (there is $662.9 million in the bank). A big part of this has been a tough restructuring for the past few years.
Although, the end-game for GRPN may be a sale of the company. There was even some buzz recently about this possibility, with Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and IAC/InterActive (NASDAQ:IAC) as potential suitors. While betting on a deal can be dicey, GRPN could prove to be a great way to get good footprint in the US market and put some pressure on Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN).

Canadian Leadership is Helping to Make Cities Smarter
The world's cities are getting bigger and global rates of urbanization are showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, according to the United Nations, more than half of the world's population lives in cities today. In Canada, four out of every five citizens live in urban areas. As cities continue this growth, they are facing challenges, as housing, infrastructure and social services struggle to keep up.
New tools and technologies offer innovative ways to make our cities "smarter," enabling more efficient use of limited resources to maintain services for citizens. By embracing these tools, cities can become more sustainable, inclusive and productive—and standards, by their nature, help ensure cities implement smart strategies as effectively as possible.
"Smart City" is an evolving term, but generally it refers to an urban area in which various functions are interconnected—usually involving information and communication technologies (ICTs)—with an eye towards increasing efficiency and sustainability. A city is a system of systems, and the "smarter" a city is, the better it is at integrating these systems together smoothly so that citizens and businesses can easily access the services they need.
Smart Cities just make sense. They are more efficient and cost-effective than conventional cities, and improve accessibility, safety, sustainability, resiliency and quality of life. When designed well, they also encourage innovation and opportunity. As more people move to cities and continue to stretch important services to their limits, cities will need to get smarter. Standards will provide the tools needed to make sure our cities grow smartly with systems that are connected and improved, to guarantee the safety and security of citizens.
The City: A System of Systems
At its simplest, a city can be thought of as a "system of systems" that overlap and interact in innumerable ways any given day. Electricity, water, transportation, roads, security, education, health care and telecommunications represent a few of the major networks that are necessary for our cities to function. However, these systems are often maintained by different agencies and standardized interfaces are needed if we are to connect them.
Through standardized interfaces, ICTs can make cities "smarter" by enabling the coordination of activities across systems. Services must connect with one another to communicate, gather data, and seize opportunities to become more efficient in delivering the services required.
Perhaps the most important factor in aligning a city's systems is the information gathered and used. To "smarten up" cities most effectively, decision makers need reliable, up-to-date data on all aspects of the city—from rainfall information to traffic flows, and everything in between. That data is useful for individual cities, but it becomes even more important as a reliable metric that can be used to compare similar cities across the world, encouraging city-to-city learning and the sharing of best practices. International standards are tools that can define what cities need to measure, and how they can guarantee the reliability of the data collected.
Why Standards Matter
Published in 2014, ISO 37120:2014, Sustainable development of communities — Indicators for city services and quality of life, sets up a series of basic benchmarks that can encourage knowledge sharing. It provides a common language for cities to use, and identifies 100 key performance indicators (KPIs) related to service delivery and quality of life. Compliance with this standard involves collecting and verifying data under the categories outlined. (A second edition of ISO 37120 is scheduled for publication in 2018.)
The standard was developed by a working group of ISO Technical Committee 268 (ISO/TC 268) that is devoted to sustainable development in communities. The working group was led by Dr. Patricia McCarney (pictured), a Professor and Director of the Global Cities Institute at the University of Toronto, and a Canadian expert on city data who has been instrumental in developing a World Council on City Data (WCCD) and ISO 37120, placing Canada as the global lead on urban metrics.
"Once you get apples-to-apples indicators, with definitions and methodologies that are standardized under ISO, cities can start to use that standardized data for comparative learning—benchmarking themselves across peer cities globally," said Dr. McCarney, the Convener of ISO/TC 268's Working Group 2 on city indicators.
"The starting point for everything we do on smart cities is data," Dr. McCarney continued. "Data is driving a culture of smart cities, a culture of innovation. Once you have good data that's standardized and ISO certified in conformity with a global standard, then you start to get data that moves across cities—lessons start to travel, there's city-to-city learning happening, and innovative solutions travel across cities globally. That, in turn, fosters investment."
The WCCD is based in Toronto and was launched as the result of seven years of collecting globally standardized data for cities by the University of Toronto's Global City Indicators Facility (GCIF), a network of 255 cities across 82 countries. WCCD is leading the global implementation of ISO 37120 and performing certification against the standard after having developed the certification protocol. The WCCD works hand in hand with the Global Cities Institute, which largely drives the development of new ISO standards within the University of Toronto.
The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) knows the importance of having Canadian representatives on the committees developing international standards like ISO 37120. In order to support leaders and experts like Dr. McCarney, SCC's Member Program works to provide connections into international standardization arenas to ensure the needs of Canadian stakeholders are represented. Getting Canada's voice heard—and our interests represented—on the world stage through committee membership is part of SCC's strategic priorities to ensure Canada remains a regional and international leader in standardization.
Canadian Leadership
It's no coincidence that the WCCD is based in a major Canadian city like Toronto—support of municipal, provincial and federal governments, along with the leadership of experts like Dr. McCarney, have put Canada at the forefront of using standardized data to make cities smarter.
"Canada has really led the way on ISO 37120," Dr. McCarney said. "The Government of Ontario helped us as we were growing inside the Global Cities Institute here at the University of Toronto, and supported our work to build the ISO 37120 standard in the first place. Ontario recognized the need for standardized data for benchmarking municipalities."
Today, eight Canadian cities have reported against ISO 37120 through WCCD: Cambridge, Oakville, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Shawinigan, Surrey, Toronto, Vaughan and Quebec City.
WCCD is now working with Statistics Canada to see how ISO 37120 can support the work of Canada's national statistical agency. "Our work with Statistics Canada is a really important engagement because we're looking at how 37120 can help harmonize municipal data through a platform of 100 KPIs for cities across Canada."
The WCCD's work complements the Government of Canada's recently-launched national Smart Cities Challenge, which will support municipalities, regional governments, and Indigenous communities to put innovative ideas in action to improve livability and opportunities for individuals. Tens of millions of dollars in federal funding will be available in each of three rounds that are planned, which will go a long way in pushing Canada forward in smart city development. Data will be vital in identifying these opportunities and in measuring results, and ISO 37120 provides a framework to ensure that data is measured in a reliable, consistent and internationally recognized manner.
Beyond that, WCCD is also working with the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) to take advantage of ISO 37120 in order to contribute to city improvements around the world and towards the achievements of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
"This is a huge success story of ISO work coming out of Canada, because we're now working with the UNSD on harmonization of data from the local to provincial to national and to global levels," Dr. McCarney said. "We have undertaken a comprehensive mapping and alignment exercise of our ISO 37120 KPIs to the UN indicators for the SDGs. Strong and globally standardized city-level data is necessary to achieve the SDGs. These goals all need to be operationalized in cities throughout the world."
As important as ISO 37120 is for smart cities, though, it remains a starting point. ISO TC 268 is also working on two other important standards that will offer additional/other tools to cities looking to get smarter and more resilient. ISO 37122 will provide additional KPIs specifically for smart cities. ISO 37123 will focus on indicators that will measure resiliency in cities. These standards are in their early stages, but will complement ISO 37120 and form a family of standards offering vital tools for cities in Canada and around the world to become safer and more inclusive, livable and sustainable.

Olivia Cooke scores female lead in Ready Player One
By Gem Seddon 2015-09-11T22:32:39.253Z News
One week after her name appeared on a shortlist for Steven Spielberg's next flick, sci-fi adventure Ready Player One, Olivia Cooke has already skyrocketed to the top of the high score table. THR reports that after a series of tests she nabbed the part of Samantha Cook, a virtual reality gamer who befriends the film's hero Wade Watts.
Cooke recently delivered a solid performance in Me and Earl and The Dying Girl, a turn that no doubt influenced Spielberg and his casting team. Of course, her victory means Lola Kirke and Elle Fanning are out of the race and throws doubt on whether Cooke will still be in contention for a part in Star Wars Episode VIII. Who knows? If the Amblin man's past behavior (ahem, Robopocalypse) is anything to go by; we're not gonna really let ourselves get excited until the cameras roll.
Speaking of, production should be gearing up early next year on this pop culture savvy yarn, with Spielberg in the last throes of post on The BFG. Ready Player One boots up on December 15, 2017.

One of the tenants in the Deskey building is a company called Streamspot. They do high-quality live streaming broadcasts. They set up a live stream of the demolition across the street. It'll be interesting to watch this building come down. The building was kind of an eyesore and I don't think it'll be missed one bit. In its place, I think I heard they are planning to build condos that no normal person could ever afford.

From Asthma Attacks To Triathlons: Emerson's Healthy Homes Des Moines Story
Kayla Poucher describes her family's life in two categories: Pre-Healthy Homes Des Moines and Post-Healthy Homes Des Moines (HHDSM).
Pre-HHDSM was full of doctors' appointments, emergency room visits and a little boy with severe respiratory illnesses, including asthma.
In their "Post-HHDSM" life, Kayla's family makes annual doctors' appointments, hasn't set foot in an ER for nearly three years and their son now participates in triathlons.
"Life before Healthy Homes Des Moines was a ticking time bomb. How long could we go between hospital stays, oral steroids, antibiotics, and 'round-the-clock nebulizer treatments?" Kayla Poucher recalls wondering. "We'd celebrate having no major episodes like these in three months' time. In fact, I don't believe we ever made it longer than three months, pre-HHDSM."
Healthy Homes Des Moines
Health Homes Des Moines (HHDSM), which launched in 2015, is an effort to minimize clinic and hospital visits related to pediatric asthma.
The program was previously a collaboration with the following entities: Polk County Housing Trust Fund, Polk County Health Department, Mercy Medical Center, Broadlawns Medical Center, UnityPoint Health, the City of Des Moines, Viva East Bank, the Mid-Iowa Health Foundation, EveryStep, Polk County Public Works, Des Moines Public Schools, Telligen Community Initiative and Rebuilding Together.
While many of these organizations still play a large roll in HHDSM, in October, EveryStep was trusted to assume full management of the program, continuing its important work in the community.
HHDSM serves children who suffer from acute asthmatic symptoms as a result of triggers in their home.
Families with children suffering from asthma are referred by a healthcare provider to HHDSM to receive tailored health education and supplies to help reduce factors that can trigger asthma.
Families can also receive home repairs to remediate asthma triggers and maintain a healthy home. HHDSM serves families with children two to 12 years of age who live in Des Moines proper and earn 80% or less of area median income.
In the first three years of the program, the percentage of children with well-controlled asthma increased to 81%, from 45% pre-intervention. Additionally, asthma-related emergency room visits were reduced by 60%.
The Poucher family is among that statistic.
Pre-HHDSM
The family found HHDSM after a frightening hospitalization when their son Emerson was six-and-a-half years old.
Emerson, now nine-and-a-half, and his twin brother, Oakley, were born eight weeks premature. Emerson has had respiratory issues since birth.
After two respiratory stays, necessitating the purchase of a nebulizer before the age of two, Kayla remembers she and her husband were growing even more concerned about this health.
Despite the nebulizer treatments and a daily maintenance steroid, Emerson continued to experience respiratory episodes.
"Over the next four years, we would be making visits to our new pediatrician monthly," Kayla remembers. "It felt like Emerson was constantly battling his own lungs. If not battling, recovering from the battle, and gearing up for the next."
Another four hospital stays followed, bringing the total to seven if you count his time in the neo-natal intensive care unit after birth. Of course, this figure doesn't reflect the dozens of times Emerson visited the emergency room but was sent home cautiously with strict orders to be woken every three to four hours for breathing treatments.
"Dozens of exposures to serious illnesses in waiting rooms," Kayla recalls. "Dozens of weeks where our lives stopped, solely to keep Emerson's asthma at bay. Dozens of antibiotics, each lasting 10 days and taking a toll on his overall well-being."
When the family moved into their new "old" home, as Kayla calls the 1908 abode, she was at first excited about the solid wood doors that muted noise more effectively than those of their previous home.
That excitement wore away quickly, however, when she realized she couldn't hear the telltale signs if Emerson was in respiratory distress.
"One night, Emerson went to bed coughing, but I couldn't sleep because I couldn't hear him," she recalls. "It was too muffled. How in the world was I supposed to know if he was gasping for air, or taking too many breaths per minute or wheezing? I couldn't know, and therefore, I couldn't sleep."
The event resulted in a panic attack for Kayla, who then accidentally woke Emerson with her ragged breath as she checked on him that evening.
"I thought I'd never be able to sleep soundly again," she says. "And, I didn't, for a while."
Three weeks later, Kayla recalls her family experienced the most terrifying respiratory issue Emerson had ever had.
The family took Emerson to the ER at 5 p.m. on Sunday, mostly as a precaution before the week started, as he'd been wheezing most of the weekend and his rescue inhaler wasn't helping.
"I thought, 'It's not that bad this time. They'll give him a duo-neb and send him home on a steroid. We will be back in a few hours,'" Kayla recounts.
But that wasn't the case. Instead, Emerson's vitals showed his oxygen levels were dangerously low, requiring three hours of continuous oxygen for him to return from a critical to stable state.
Kayla remembers being confused during the visit; Emerson wasn't presenting as badly as he actually was; did she miss a sign?
The ER doctor explained that Emerson was having an asthma attack that wasn't related to a virus or pneumonia as his previous episodes had been.
The doctor told her they were glad she brought Emerson in and they didn't put him to bed, noting that he was in such distress that it would have eventually led to respiratory failure.
"My worst nightmare was almost realized that day. We could have put him to bed, thinking it could wait 'til office hours the next morning, only to find he hadn't made it through the night," Kayla says.
Post-HHDSM
That was the last time Emerson was hospitalized. During the second day of his hospital stay, a social worker asked if she could talk to the family about an opportunity, introducing them to HHDSM.
"I was surprised that there was such an organization and was eager to learn how Emerson could benefit from it," Kayla says.
Within a few days, HHDSM specialists were inspecting the Poucher's home, trying to detect asthma triggers that could be solved and educating them on asthma and allergens in the home.
"I remember crying with them at my own kitchen table," she says. "I was ashamed that I didn't know more about how to protect Emerson from his allergens."
The specialists, however, assured her she did nothing wrong and that they were there to help.
For the Poucher's, HHDSM collaborators removed the carpet in the kids' playroom and refinished the wood floors underneath; gave them an air purifier for Emerson's bedroom, a hypo-allergenic pillow cover and a hypo-allergenic mattress cover for him; vented the first-floor bathroom and the stove; and gave them a HEPA vacuum.
But the greatest gift, Kayla notes, was the empowerment the family felt to choose what was best for Emerson, starting with a new pulmonologist.
Prior to Emerson's last hospitalization, he began seeing a new pulmonologist who had inaccurately determined that Emerson didn't actually have asthma, and therefore discontinued his daily medication.
When she told their HHDSM specialist about the issues, she was encouraged to find a pulmonologist who listened to their concerns and took them seriously. And so, the family got a second opinion and a new pulmonologist.
"We felt bound to this pulmonologist, and to his group, but that was an illusion," Kayla says. "Without HHDSM, I do not know how long we would have been tethered to a doctor who neither respected us, nor saw our son's health for what it actually is and provided the care required to keep him healthy."
Nearly three years later, the daily life for the Poucher family is drastically different.
Emerson has not be on a single oral steroid since the week he was introduced to HHDSM. He hasn't been hospitalized and he hasn't made a visit to the ER or urgent care.
"We've had nearly three years of this new life. Emerson is on a daily, maintenance steroid and he takes a few puffs of his rescue inhaler before every basketball or soccer game," Kayla says.
What's more, he competes in triathlons all summer long; swimming, biking and running back to back with a little albuterol to keep him going.
Kayla's sleeping better now, too. She no longer has panic attacks.
And their pediatrician, who knew Kayla's voice the minute she spoke and generously provided the family with his personal number to help mediate between urgent care doctors, only sees Emerson once a year for well-exams. The new pulmonologist is seen every six months for routine checkups.
"Emerson is in good health," Kayla says. "That could not have been said about him, pre-HHDSM. People used to refer to him as 'always sick,' and 'in the hospital more than anyone they know.' Now he's known as 'the boy who competes in triathlons, and does so with a smile.'"
"The relatively simple and inexpensive means of preventive care that HHDSM provided to us have proven to enhance our family's quality of life to a degree that we, quite frankly, no longer believed was possible," Kayla says. "We are eternally grateful to HHDSM for helping give Emerson the life we always wanted for him."

Smith Valley woman convicted of child abuse
Local |
Nevada Appeal Staff Report
A Smith Valley woman was convicted Friday of child abuse causing substantial bodily harm.
Ashlee Marie Kinsey, formerly known as Ashlee Marie Morrow, was charged with two counts of child abuse. After a four-day trial, a jury found her guilty of abusing a young boy by cutting his foot with a boxcutter.
Court records show the boy also had a broken arm and had suffered multiple additional suspicious injuries, including broken ribs.
Dominick Ratto also was implicated and pleaded to a felony child-abuse charge earlier this year. Ratto is serving a six-year prison sentence.
After the verdict was announced, Kinsey, 24, was taken into custody. She is scheduled to be sentenced in District Court in Yerington on Feb. 3. She faces up to 20 years in prison.

Innovative new Portable Power Products for Vehicles
Here's a solution with what we anticipate is massive latent demand – two strong names (Energizer and UPG) have allied to produce a line of energy-related automotive products that can charge portable devices, run kitchen appliances, jump-start a car and even inflate a tire. There's even a US$140 all-in-one product that includes an inverter that will allow motorists to convert power from the vehicle's DC adapter to AC and USB outlets, a jump starter that jump-starts vehicles without a second vehicle, and an air compressor for inflating, tires, airbeds, inflatable toys ad infinitum.
Energizer and UPG, a leading provider of third-party logistics and supply chain management services, and a distributor of batteries and power accessories, are launching three initial SKUs of their new product line at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.
"We are excited to have this opportunity to combine our expertise in portable power and technology with a trusted household brand like Energizer," said Randy Hardin, president and CEO of UPG. "Our partnership represents a trusted brand platform for consumers who expect quality and reliability from their portable power products."
"Partnering with UPG makes sense for Energizer, our retail partners, and for consumers," said Danielle Kyriakos, director of new business development at Energizer. "At Energizer, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions to power people's lives. We developed these products with UPG to provide solutions with the user in mind. They were designed to be more user-friendly and less intimidating, giving people the power they need wherever and whenever they need it whether they are at home, on the road, or at a campsite."
The new line of products from Energizer and UPG will be available through automotive, mass merchandise, and other retailers.

Learning to Swim Deemed Essential in California
We are pleased to announce that drowning prevention classes, including swim lessons have been deemed essential by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
"Drowning prevention classes, including swim lessons with certified instructors, are permitted in indoor and outdoor swimming pools in all tiers, as they are deemed essential." [1]
This designation will help greatly in the continued mission to prevent drownings in the state of California. Learning to swim, as part of a multilayer drowning prevention plan, is a critical tool as demonstrated by a study conducted in 2009 showing formal swim lessons between the ages of 1 and 4 can help reduce the risk of drowning by 88%.[2]
Each year in California literally hundreds of children suffer drowning incidents, and for every fatal drowning there are five other drowning incidents ending in resuscitation of the drowning victim that then results in brain injury due to hypoxia.
We understand and accept the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic requires the state and local health departments to be vigilant for all of us, to flatten the curve and prevent the continuation of COVID's hold on the landscape. Leaders and partners in the drowning prevention community, including the California Coalition for Children's Safety and Health (CCCSH) leadership agree that drowning prevention is just as important and can be done safely, even during this pandemic. Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for the one to four-year-old population, and one of the leading causes of unintentional death for the teen and youth population.[3]
As we work together to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we must also continue to carry out public health activities that prevent children from dying or being permanently harmed by preventable unintentional injuries such as drowning. We cannot and should not ignore the importance of drowning prevention as an essential public health need and we applaud leadership at the CADPH for recognizing this and deeming drowning prevention, including swim lessons as essential.
Our plan is to work with our volunteers and experts to continue to educate leadership in other states to follow suit, make drowning prevention, including learning to swim, essential in every state in the country.
USSSA has developed tools and resources to make learning to swim as safe as possible during COVID-19, including:
Creation of a uniform manual, USSSA Action Plan 2.1, based on the Center for Disease Control (CDC) protocols to provide guidance for swim schools to open and continue to provide critical water safety and drowning prevention for children while maintaining everyone's health and safety.
Surveys of USSSA member swim schools operating across the country, with our most recent survey showing nearly 44,600 students and staff participating in swim lessons for an average of three months with no COVID-19 transmissions to students in the facility, thus demonstrating that the numerous health and safety measures put in place by swim schools are working.
Uncovering important information from industry experts on the ways ventilation for indoor pools are far superior at minimizing virus transmission than most indoor spaces.

Ex-NFL player's sentencing delayed; lawyers cite concussions
By The Associated Press | Posted - April 13, 2016 at 11:30 p.m.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Reggie Rucker's sentencing in a charity theft case has been delayed as the former Cleveland Browns wide receiver participates in a study of long-term symptoms of traumatic brain injuries and awaits another test in June.
His attorneys say Rucker suffered multiple concussions while playing football and that the effects of such injuries — and the upcoming test — might help explain his crimes.
The 68-year-old Rucker has pleaded guilty to stealing from two children's charities to pay his gambling debts and personal expenses. A plea agreement calls for him to serve about two years in prison.
Cleveland.com (http://bit.ly/1oYShCt ) reports federal Judge Dan Polster agreed to postpone sentencing from May 23 to July 14, despite prosecutors' objections. Polster says he wants to have as much information about Rucker as reasonably possible.

West Valley woman was impaired with drugs when she hit, killed man, charges say


Rebecca Coriam, known by the nickname "Bex," was a 24-year-old British youth activities worker on the Disney Wonder. Around 6 AM on the day of her disappearance, security camera footage showed a distraught Rebecca talking on the phone – this was the last known sighting of her. Hours later when Rebecca didn't show up for work, crew members found women's flip flops on the fifth deck. The U.S. Coast Guard and Mexican Navy began sweeping the nearby water for any signs of her but found nothing. Disney later investigated with the Bahamian government and determined that Rebecca must've been accidentally swept overboard by a rogue wave, but many people who knew Rebecca or have read about the case say that's total BS.
While we may never learn what happened to Rebecca Coriam, we can guarantee that you'll find out what happened to Missy Palmer ASAP! The movie is out NOW and can be purchased on iTunes.

On the way up there, we stopped in Schulenburg to pee, and it happened to be right where I would stop with my parents every year on the way home from the Houston Quilt Show to get candied pecans. I was super excited to go there. As soon as I walked in the smell brought me right back. A wonderful way to start the trip.
These are my women. My Nanna, her sister and two daughters, and my aunt, my mom's sister. It was so nice to be with just them for a few days. There is something magical about having just feminine energy together. Two of our days were devoted just to driving, so we really only had three days there, and we fit alot in, in those three days. We stayed in Slidell so we could be away from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans the whole time.
Day one, we drove to New Orleans for the voodoo shops. But I had forgotten how touristy it is down in the French Quarter and I was very disappointed with all of the shops like that down there. They just seemed so hoaky. And we didn't have enough time to really just walk the streets for a long time and find the good stuff. But what I did love about it was the street bands we would pass. They were amazing. Eclectic, groups of young folks with dogs, banjos and washboards. They were all wonderful and mesmerizing to look at. I could of just sat and watched them all day. I just loved seeing them do their thing. My second favorite part was just going into a little bar and chatting with the local bartender and listening to good music. I was turned onto the pandora station The Devil Makes Three. Check it out, its great! Oh, I also ate the best fish Ive ever had in my life that day. It was yellowfish on top of grilled asparagus and portabello in a red cajun sauce of some kind. It was seasoned so perfectly. Im not much of a seafood lover, and this changed my mind in a big way.
Then when we got home, I realized between the 6 of us women, there was 9 bottles of liquor and wine. Ha ha. So we stayed up until 2 am drinking and laughing our asses off. That is one thing I love about my family. They can laugh like no one else Ive ever heard. And they tell the funniest stories youve ever heard. They had me belly laughing so hard it hurt. It was so nice. I haven't laughed like that in a very long time.
I have sooooooo many photos to share, so Im going to break them up into several posts. Maybe more than one a day. Warning, I took alot of photos of trees.

Certification Program Now Available for MPA Managers
by John Davis | Nov 15, 2008
Professionals working at a range of bureaucratic levels in MPAs in the Western Indian Ocean now may get certified as a way to demonstrate their skills and experience. Developers of the Western Indian Ocean Certification Programme for Marine Protected Area Professionals, or WIO-COMPAS, anticipate eventually adapting and applying it to other regions worldwide.
The program was developed by the Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association (WIOMSA) in partnership with the Coastal Resources Center (CRC) at the University of Rhode Island in the U.S. The first certification event, consisting of eight days of assessment and professional development, occurred in August 2008 and involved 11 professionals from Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa, and Tanzania.
WIOMSA already provides several tools for MPA managers, including a manual and training course (MPA News 5:4 and 2:2, respectively). Julius Francis, WIOMSA executive secretary, says the certification program is distinct from these other instruments. "This is a certification program that assesses proven performance on the job," he says. "While there are professional development skills provided, WIO-COMPAS is not a training course. Candidates come to prove their skills and establish a network with colleagues."
Those who are accepted into the program already have a certain level of education and experience. At the certification event, candidates share lessons learned with colleagues, refine a case study of a challenge they currently face as a professional in their MPA, and engage in dialogue with regional and international experts in MPA policy and practice.
Individuals who complete the program and receive a passing grade are designated as an "MPA PRO". The designation indicates the individual has proven he or she meets standards of education, knowledge, skills, experience, and on-the-job performance in six competency areas:
Policy, legal and compliance frameworks;
Approaches to MPA establishment and management arrangements;
Communication and stakeholder engagement;
Financing MPAs;
MPA management operations; and
Biophysical and social environment.
"WIO-COMPAS focuses on the core skills that are needed by the majority of MPA professionals," says Glenn Ricci of CRC. "The program is not meant to replace training; it is a complement to training efforts. MPA professionals need to continue to be trained so as to be able to perform on the job." To maintain certification, individuals must renew their certification every five years and undertake continuing education on new practices and tools in MPA management.
Three levels of certification
The program offers advancement and recognition at three levels:
Level 1 – For professionals with daily duties similar to those of an MPA ranger or officer
Level 2 – For professionals with supervisory responsibilities similar to an MPA manager
Level 3 – For professionals in higher-level management, strategy, and policy development
WIO-COMPAS was designed from the start to be replicated in other regions worldwide, says Ricci. "The program has been developed such that its format, content, and, most importantly, standards and indicators for assessing an individual's performance against core competencies are valid for any MPA professional around the world," he says. "The WIO-COMPAS team wants to work with others who are interested in adapting the program for their country or region."
Would the program's planners eventually like to see certification become a requirement for employment in the MPA management field? "WIO-COMPAS and the larger model were built as a voluntary certification to support the needs of MPA professionals," says Ricci. "At this early phase it is not the goal of our certification program to be a requirement for employment." More information on WIO-COMPAS, including its program handbook with information on fees, is available at www.wio-compas.org.

Constitutional Corner – The Right of Protest
Blog Essay Constitutional Corner - The Right of Protest
Constitutional Corner – The Right of ProtestPosted by AdminOn March 20, 2017
Wikipedia[1] says "[t]he right to protest is a perceived human right arising out of a number of recognized human rights. While no human rights instrument or national constitution grants the absolute right to protest, such a right to protest may be a manifestation of the right to freedom of assembly, the right to freedom of association, and the right to freedom of speech."
I could stop right there, because that is a nice succinct way of answering the question of whether there is indeed a right of protest, but that just wouldn't be fun, so let's proceed:
Wikipedia's answer is fine as far as it goes, but it fails to address the distinction between natural versus civil rights a distinction Americans of the founding period easily explain. We are endowed natural, unalienable rights by our Creator, we are granted civil, alienable rights by our government.
Could a right of protest be a natural right? In its most generic sense, certainly. In a state of nature you can certainly protest anything you want: the taste of food, the weather, anything is fair game. But in a political sense, a right of protest makes no sense at all.
The Oregon ACLU[2] appears to harbor no doubt, however, stating on their website: "You have a constitutionally protected right to engage in peaceful protest in "traditional public forums" such as streets, sidewalks or parks." Really? Constitutionally-protected?
As Wikipedia rightly points out, but which the Oregon ACLU apparently doesn't realize, no national constitution, including our own, establishes such a right.
A Right of Protest might have been contemplated in the Ninth Amendment; protests were certainly a well-known feature to colonial Americans. The colonists took to the streets in droves to protest the Sugar Act of 1764, the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Acts of 1767, the Tea Act of 1773 and, finally, the Intolerable Acts of 1775.
Some protests turned violent, particularly in Boston, but certainly not all of them; some protests were purely economic in nature – boycotts of British-made goods. James Madison recounted in a letter to his father how he and fellow college students participated in a subdued protest of New York merchants who chose to not take part in a boycott of British liquor urged by their brethren in beleaguered Boston.
An 1861 anti-war protest in Baltimore, Maryland resulted in both citizen and military deaths when protesters tried to block the movement of southbound Massachusetts troops going from one train station to another. It was actually the first blood spilled in the war.
From July 13–16, 1863, protests in New York City over the Union Army draft quickly turned violent, leading to 120 deaths and at least 2,000 people injured. After the Battle of Gettysburg, President Abraham Lincoln had to send several regiments of militia and volunteer troops to control the city. Protests of the National Conscription Act took place in other cities and states across the North.
The "Bonus Army" protest of 1932 resulted in 2 dead; 1,086 injured.[3]
And then how can we forget the many protests of the Vietnam War and some attendant acts of terrorism by the Students for a Democratic Society and the Weather Underground.
Some today have likened our current anti-Trump protests to the Boston Tea Party, as though there was some sort of moral equivalence. Balderdash! The Boston Tea Party was a calm and orderly affair, focused exclusively on the tea (a broken ship's lock was immediately replaced and, eventually the more than a million dollars of tea was paid for). I can see the disclaimer now: "No ships were damaged nor crews assaulted in the taking of this tea."
Contrast this with the violent protests on January 20th in which businesses, including an immigrant-owned limousine were torched. If there is good news here, it is that the more than 200 protesters who were arrested that day face 10 years imprisonment and up to a 250,000 fine.
Going back to the Wikipedia description, "such a right to protest may be a manifestation of the right to freedom of assembly, the right to freedom of association, and the right to freedom of speech." "May be?" So if we combine these three natural rights somehow a right of protest springs out of them? It reminds me of the right of privacy assembled by the high court in Griswold v. Connecticut from "bits and pieces" of inferences of privacy found in the 4th and 5th Amendments, and others.
But as I repeatedly say to groups: I have no problem with creating a right to privacy or any right at all, and securing it in the Constitution; but who rightfully has the authority to create and define those rights: five unelected lawyers, or the 300 million owners of the Constitution – i.e., the American people? Because the process of amending the Constitution to create such a right requires a bit of work on our part, we seem to be more inclined to let lawyers in black robes do our work for us. Need a right to privacy? No problem. Need a right to kill your unborn child? No problem. Need a right for two homosexuals to "marry?" No problem. Give the job to the courts, they can do anything.
Our current Court, which seems to show no reticence to creating new rights, is not willing to give citizens the right to protest or even exercise their free speech right on the court's very own steps.[4] But that's not a obstacle to a determined protester. Protesters upset with the Citizens United decision have now taken their obnoxiousness inside the Supreme Court's chamber,[5] even to the point of interrupting the Chief Justice.
The Supreme Court itself has never claimed there was a right to protest, per se; they have instead viewed protest-related cases as free-speech issues:
In 1969, (Tinker v. Des Moines) high school student protesters were told they could wear black armbands as a free speech right.
In the 1989 case of Texas v. Johnson, the court decided that burning the U.S. flag in protest of the government's actions was to be considered a free speech issue. Flag burning joined the ever-increasing list of "symbolic speech" that was to be protected.
In 2011, the Westboro Baptist Church won the right to protest military funerals after claiming free speech.[6]
In 2014, in McCullen v. Coakley,[7] the Court unanimously held that Massachusetts' 35-feet buffer zones to keep abortion protesters from interfering with women seeking abortions violated the First Amendment because it limited free speech too broadly.
So, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that there is no such thing as a political right to protest. You have a right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, you even have a right to assemble for that purpose as well as to freely speak your grievances. But when your use of any of those rights infringes on my right to freely travel in my car, or damages my property, or disturbs my peace, we have a problem, and I'm going to demand that the law be enforced against you.
The criminals who defaced a putting green on a Trump golf course[8] last week need to be rounded up, fined and imprisoned.
The holligans who are preventing businessman Peter Thiel from enjoying his home[9] and neighborhood should be disbursed and arrested if they return.
Protesters who disrupt a Congressman's Town Hall meeting[10] should be arrested for incitement. Let them convince a judge their actions were otherwise.
Any protests which turn into riots and property destruction where it can be proved that George Soros or anyone else funded the event should result in the arrest of those financiers for inciting riot.
The training sessions conducted by the ACLU[11] should be monitored for the same purpose and if any instructions can be interpreted as inciteful, the director of the ACLU should be similarly arrested.
Quoting from the federal government's website on the subject of riot, we find:
"Government officials cannot simply prohibit a public assembly in their own discretion,[4] but the government can impose restrictions on the time, place, and manner of peaceful assembly, provided that constitutional safeguards are met.[5] Time, place, and manner restrictions are permissible so long as they "are justified without reference to the content of the regulated speech, … are narrowly tailored to serve a significant governmental interest, and … leave open ample alternative channels for communication of the information."
"The First Amendment does not provide the right to conduct an assembly at which there is a clear and present danger of riot, disorder, or interference with traffic on public streets, or other immediate threat to public safety or order.[13] Statutes that prohibit people from assembling and using force or violence to accomplish unlawful purposes are permissible under the First Amendment.[14]"
So there it is: you may peacefully petition the government for a redress of your grievances, you may even do so in a group; and you may speak your mind in any public place (except the Supreme Court's steps). But please don't insist that you have a constitutionally-protected right of protest. Further, if you do not allow other Americans to enjoy their equal rights while exercising yours, don't claim you stand on the moral high ground. Just saying.

Red Sox and Yankees bars in New York City brace for rowdy playoff series
By Brian Niemietz
It's showtime between the Yankees and the Red Sox. (Frank Franklin II / AP)
After 162 regular season games, the inevitable unfolds at Fenway Park Friday when the Boston Red Sox host the Yankees in a playoff showdown between two teams that each won 100 games this season.
Fans on both sides of the 117-year-old rivalry are going to need a drink and Pete Levin, who owns Professor Thom's in the East Village, is ready to booze up Beantown supporters.
"We expect people to start showing up around two and three in the afternoon," said the 44-year-old New York City-raised Red Sox fan, whose dad is from Massachusetts. "We'll be close to capacity by 5 or 5:30."
Professor Thom's serves Boston beers by Samuel Adams and Harpoon Brewery as well as Down East Cider and 70% of his food orders are nachos. He admits that tensions run high come gametime.

"We prefer if somebody shows up in Yankees gear for their own safety that they go to the bar next door," he said.
It's a busy time of year for Levin, who just became a dad.
"She's 3 days old and already going to be a Red Sox fan," he said.

Fans who can't squeeze into Professor Thom's can try their luck at Standings bar, also in the East Village. That Red Sox stronghold will open at 2 p.m. Friday for the Houston Astros game against Cleveland. The winner of that series earns a date with the victor of the Yankees-Red Sox showdown.

Finding a Yankees bar this weekend won't be hard – just follow the chaos.
No place will be more raucous than Billy's bar in the Bronx. Located a line drive from Yankee Stadium, this big bi-level lounge on River Ave. just turned 30 years old, but barely resembles the tavern it was prior to a $4 million makeover in 2013.
The space holds 2,500 people, but one employee grabbing phone calls on Thursday had no time to chat. She said she literally felt the Earth move when the Yankees beat the Oakland A's in a do-or-die play in game Wednesday.
"It was crazy hear last night – I was running around, I could feel the ground shaking," she said.
Fans looking for more of a bleachers experience can head over to Stan's, which has been serving Bronx Bomber die-hards since 1979. Open seasonally, this dive-y beer bar is so entrenched in Yankees versus Red Sox history that they boast on their homepage mentions that they're "Across from the REAL house that Ruth built ... in da Bronx."
While the current Yankee Stadium is a block away, the original park faced Stan's.

A Brush With Glory
An artist whose work is included in Akzo Nobel's acclaimed Art Foundation collection has narrowly missed out on this year's Turner Prize.
Raedecker, whose 1994 creation, Trip (pictured), hangs in the foyer at the company's headquarters in Arnhem, the Netherlands, finished as one of the runners-up when the result was announced recently.
in Amsterdam, Raedecker (37), who lives and works in London, was the first Dutchman to be nominated for the prestigious award.
of last year's John Moores prize, he uses paint and embroidery to produce delicate, figurative landscapes, with eight works making up his Turner Prize exhibition at the Tate Britain in London.
"I don't fill everything in. I leave room for the viewer to step into the image," he said of his paintings.
