The Gifted Episode #1.1 "eXposed"
Thread: The Gifted Episode #1.1 "eXposed"
Count down to the October 2 premiere of The Gifted and talk about it LIVE here when it airs!
I would say one thread per episode instead of episode sub-threads. Unfortunately, we're no longer in the early years of the site when Smallville episodes would have pages of threads/posts.
This scene reminds me of the first X-Men movie.
Reed Strucker is kind of like HRG from Heroes except not as scary in the beginning.
Does that make Lauren and Andy Claire and Lyle? Except Lyle's not forgotten this time? haha.
I like that even before he knows his kids are mutants, Reed Strucker is kind to mutants. Even if the others aren't.
All good comic book pilot episodes should feature a high school dance.
So Lauren can create a protective force field around herself a la Sue Storm and the brother has telekinesis???
I feel like I'm alone in here... Twitter really did kill the live thread, didn't it?

Scottish whisky maker Bacardi has a new single malt, The Royal Brackla 35 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Released exclusively for the travel retail market, Bacardi has teamed up with DFS Singapore to debut it in the world stage at Singapore Changi Airport.
The limited edition with just 100 bottles is set to retail at $15,000. Sure to be a hit with well-heeled travelers, the new expression celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Royal Brackla Highland Distillery in Scotland. The distiller had its beginning in 1812.
The bottle of the Royal Brackla celebrates the royal warrant granted by King William IV in 1833. To celebrate the "symbols of royalty", the bottle is designed with a metal crown that covers the bottom, the orb represented by the sphere of the bottle, and the scepter symbolized by the crystal stopper. The Royal Brackla master crest is visible on the bottle and luxurious presentation box. Each bottles is individually numbered and etched with the commemorative dates 1812-2012.
Complementing the flavors of dark chocolate, biscuit and spice are fruity notes of apple, toffee and vanilla. The smooth and rich Royal Brackla 35 Year Old has been aged in sherry casks and bottled at cask strength and contain 49% abv. Available now at DFS Stores at Singapore Changi Airport.


On this day in 1836, Texas forces won the battle of San Jacinto, the concluding military event of the Texas Revolution. Facing General Santa Anna's Mexican army of some 1,200 men encamped in what is now southeastern Harris County, General Sam Houston disposed his forces in battle order about 3:30 p.m., during siesta time.
The Texans' movements were screened by trees and the rising ground, and evidently Santa Anna had no lookouts posted. The Texan line sprang forward on the run with the cries "Remember the Alamo!" and "Remember Goliad!" The battle lasted but eighteen minutes. According to Houston's official report, the casualties were 630 Mexicans killed and 730 taken prisoner. Against this, only nine of the 910 Texans were killed or mortally wounded and thirty were wounded less serious.

Watching for Birds, Diversity: Audubon Groups Pledge Change
BOSTON – When Boston socialites Minna Hall and Harriet Hemenway sought to end the slaughter of birds in the name of 19th century high fashion, they picked a logical namesake for their cause: John James Audubon, a naturalist celebrated for his stunning watercolors of American birds.
Now, 125 years after the founding of the Massachusetts Audubon Society for the Protection of Birds, the organization and the nearly 500 Audubon chapters nationwide it helped inspire are reckoning with another side of Audubon's life: He was also a slaveholder and staunch opponent of abolition.
In the year-plus since George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police, Audubon chapters have pledged to do more to atone for the past, including diversifying their staff and finding ways to make natural spaces more welcoming to people of color. It's part of a broader reckoning within the wider environmental movement, which for years has faced criticism for its racist origins and lack of diversity.
"At this point, if people are not part of what they're trying to protect, that's an issue," Debbie Njai, an Illinois resident who founded the outdoor group BlackPeopleWhoHike, said of conservation groups.
Mass Audubon published an essay last fall acknowledging how Audubon's family's wealth came in large part from running a Caribbean sugar plantation. It has also pledged to have people of color make up 25% of its board of directors and hopes to open more wildlife sanctuaries in communities of color.
The National Audubon Society, which is based in New York and is separate from Mass Audubon, has similarly delved into its namesake's legacy in a series of essays.
And the Sierra Club publicly apologized last July for the racist views of its founder, John Muir, who openly dismissed American Indians as dirty savages. The Oakland-based group has also committed $5 million to boost its environmental justice work and recently voiced support for Black reparations.
Environmental groups understand the future of their movement hinges on changing their white, elitist reputation, said David O'Neill, president of Mass Audubon.
"If we don't get younger and we don't get more diverse, we're not going to have people to advocate on behalf of nature, and that's not good for anyone," he said during a recent visit to the group's Boston Nature Center, an urban wildlife sanctuary in a majority Black neighborhood that it hopes to replicate in other Massachusetts communities of color.
Green organizations appear to be making progress on improving staff diversity, but their leadership remains predominantly white, said Andres Jimenez, head of Green 2.0, a Washington, D.C., group that puts out an annual report card on diversity in the environmental sector.
In its most recent report, Green 2.0 found that the nation's largest green groups added, on average, six people of color to their staff, two to their senior management and one to their board of directors between 2017 and 2020.
"We need to see that change up top to move the ball in an accelerated way," Jimenez said.
Bird conservation brought the country's latest racial reckoning to the environmental movement's doorsteps, and, in many ways, it's where the calls for change are most acutely felt.
There's a growing campaign, for example, to drop the eponyms of birds that honor slaveholders and white supremacists — Bird Names for Birds.
The catalyst was a dispute between a Black birdwatcher and a white woman with her dog in New York's Central Park that went viral last summer, sparking #BlackBirdersWeek and other similar efforts to highlight Black nature enthusiasts and the discrimination and other challenges they face in the outdoors.
Christian Cooper, the birder at the center of that controversy, stressed organizations like the Audubon have been taking steps to address diversity long before his viral moment, even if some have yielded mixed results.
A board member with the New York City Audubon Society, Cooper said his chapter has been trying to draw more diverse members through modest events like last month's Juneteenth birdwatching and potluck picnic.
"The organizations that are having the most success are those that are trying new things," Cooper said. "The reality is that fixing centuries of ingrained racial bias as it manifests in the environmental movement is hard and uncomfortable work."
At the National Audubon Society, the racial reckoning has boiled over into staff unrest.
Spurred by complaints of a toxic workplace, an outside audit concluded in April that a "culture of retaliation, fear, and antagonism toward women and people of color" existed at the organization. Longtime CEO David Yarnold swiftly resigned.
Tykee James, who serves as the organization's government affairs officer in Washington, is among the staffers pushing to form a labor union to address diversity and other workplace problems. He also wants the Audubon to be more vocal in publicly advocating for environmental justice causes.
"The culture that we've had in this organization hasn't been one for workers of color, hasn't been one for women, hasn't been one for nonbinary folks," James said.
Matt Smelser, a spokesperson for the Audubon Society, referred to a May statement from the group, which said "bullying and other bad behavior" won't be tolerated going forward. The organization also continues to search for a permanent CEO and has committed to remaining neutral in the unionization efforts, he added.
Back at Mass Audubon, O'Neill says the organization's board has added new members so that 17% of them are people of color. The staff of more than 950 is about 65% white.
Scott Edwards, a Harvard ornithologist who is among the recent additions to the group's board, said the jury's still out on whether these early steps from green organizations are enough. Some will have to re-imagine their mission and pivot more to urban populations, he said.
"Organizations will have to think creatively about how to get communities of color more connected with nature," said Edwards, who is Black. "Show them that their voices are needed and wanted. Make them feel included in the larger effort of conservation."
Mamie Parker, who worked for decades at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and was its first Black regional director, advises environmental groups to approach racial equity like a conservation challenge.
"When you plant a tree to restore a forest or take care of bald eagles to rebuild their population," the retired biologist from Dulles, Virginia, said, "it takes years before those efforts bear fruit."

Soldo scores $61M Series B for its 'spend management' platform for businesses

Soldo scores $61M Series B for its 'spend management' platform for businesses2019-07-072019-07-08https://shotventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/shot-ventures.pngShot Ventureshttps://shotventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/cropped-cropped-favicon-gradient-7.png200px200px
Soldo, the U.K. fintech that offers a multi-user spending account for businesses, has closed $61 million in Series B funding.
Leading the round is Battery Ventures and Dawn Capital, with participation from previous backers Accel and Connect Ventures. In addition, a small portion is debt financing from Silicon Valley Bank. It brings total raised by the London-based startup to $82 million.
Founded by Carlo Gualandri, who previously helped create Italy's first online bank, Soldo offers a multi-user spending account for businesses of all sizes — from SMEs to much larger enterprises — that need to deploy and manage expenses across an entire organisation.
It enables departmental and employee spending to be managed in real time by combining a Soldo account, central dashboard, apps for iOS and Android and virtual wallets or physical "pre-paid" MasterCards that can be handed out to employees, departments and even external consultants or contractors.
In addition, Soldo offers granular spending controls that are at the heart of its tech stack. This allows for different expense criteria for each employee, contractor or spending department, with permissions set and all spending trackable centrally. It also lets users capture receipt data, while the whole system integrates with commonly used business accounting packages such as Xero, Quickbooks, Concur, Expensify, NetSuite, Zucchetti and SAP
Asked what the biggest challenge for Soldo has been over the last 12 months, Gualandri says "educating the market," something that he doesn't see changing any time soon.
"When you don't know that a solution exists, you don't even call it a "problem" but you consider it just a 'fact of life'," he says. "Spend management is a new category that replaces many old and outdated processes. [It] allows companies to distribute access to money with control, enabling flatter and more agile organisations. It will take time for the market to fully realise its transformational power".
To that end, Gualandri says the most gratifying thing over the last year has been the results achieved within the companies that have started adopting Soldo. "We have been recognised by thousands of companies from small to very large as an innovative and reliable provider of financial services," he tells me. "No small achievement in the traditionally more conservative world of business".
Soldo isn't profitable yet, but Gualandri says it could be within one or two years if that was the goal. However, this would mean choosing "slower, more organic growth" and given there is a very large market in front of Soldo it "would not be the right choice". The majority of companies in Europe are still using "reimbursable expenses, spreadsheets and manual processes to manage the expense management cycle" and Soldo's competition largely remains the status quo way of doing things (although Denmark's Pleo, for example, operates in a similar space).
"We are a company with a fixed cost base and good unit economics so the break-even point is dependent on how much we invest and grow the fixed cost base (because most of our investment is people) and the volume of customers and spend managed by our system," he says. "So by deciding to invest in product and sales we are in effect targeting a larger revenue and profit base but later on".
Meanwhile, Soldo's Series B round will be used to further grow in the U.K., where it claims a "leadership position," and in Italy and Ireland. The company also plans to enter new European markets and double its workforce over the next 12 months. Gualandri says Soldo will continue to invest in its product, too, in order to tackle additional spend management "pain points".
"Travel expenses is the most common need but procurement, purchasing goods and services, subscriptions, mobility expenses, employees benefits are all areas that can be innovated and are an expression of the concept of company spend management," he says.
Meanwhile, Soldo recently secured an e-money licence from Ireland's central bank in addition to the license it holds in the U.K. so that it can continue trading within the European single market post-Brexit and in the event of "no-deal". "It's crazy to think we've been forced to work for a year and a half on a hugely complex project, mostly duplicating something that we had already, to prepare our business for something that may or may not happen," Gualandri told TechCrunch at the time of announcing its newly acquired Irish license.

Rhythm and blues started even before phonograph records were being produced because black people entertained themselves. It wasn't done for money. It was done for entertainment. Most white people didn't know anything about this because prejudice kept them from ever seeing what was going on.
I've gotta stick to my roots, and my roots are blues.
I spent a few years here in Memphis, in the late '70s and early '80s, where I was studying a lot of country blues players and their styles. So it seems like every record I'll do, I will appropriate these blues styles that I remember.
I'm sort of East Coast, so I like the off-white and the navy blues and the low-key preppy kind of thing.
I play blues old-timey style.
My dad actually taught me how to play piano. I was classically trained, but I've started to branch off a little bit into blues and jazz. That's my new thing.
I'm always on duty, so I tend to wear suits. I've got double-breasted and single-breasted, mostly dark blues and grays. I'm obsessed with them, and I always have been.
A lot of people relate me to the blues but I don't think it's a hindrance at this point. I've been doing it long enough that I can do different things and be accepted.
I love most melodic music - classical, reggae, big band, jazz, blues, country, pop, swing, folk.
The crew on 'Varsity Blues' was phenomenal.

Flow boiling in micro scale systems was studied intensively in the past two decades and is still attracting the interest of many researchers. Possible improvement in heat transfer over single phase flow at the same mass flux, due to latent heat of vaporization makes it a promising thermal management method for high power dissipation electronics. Moreover, two phase flow may offer better temperature uniformity than single phase flow, if dryout and instabilities can be mitigated. This work studies flow boiling of deionized (D.I.) water in microgap and microgap with pin fin enhancement. This study investigates flow boiling in a closed flow loop system experimentally with a wide range of heat fluxes, mass fluxes and inlet temperatures. The closed flow loop consists of a gear pump to deliver liquid flow with a volume flow rate up to 506 mL/min, a flow meter to measure flow rate, a preheater to control inlet temperature, a filter of 2 μm pore size to remove particles that may be present inside the flow system, the test section, a heat exchanger to condense vaporized fluid, and a 300 mL fluid reservoir. The microgap and microgap with pin fin enhancement both have footprint area of 1 cm2, and height of 200 μm. Pin fin designs of different longitudinal and transverse pitches, and pin diameters are studied. High seed camera is utilized to visualize boiling. Pressure drop, heat transfer coefficient, boiling regimes, two phase flow instabilities are studied in this work. A numerical model of flow boiling of water in microgap using volume of fluid method will be developed and compared with experimental data.


Wouldn't you love it if someone selected for you the best thought-provoking magazine articles available today—the ones most worthy of your time, the ones that would best help you understand current and global issues? That's just what this course will do. Each week we will read award-winning articles and critically discuss the issues based on our independent understanding of what the author is saying. We will then relate how our personal experiences and knowledge confirm or contradict the positions articulated in the articles. Our anthology will be "The Best American Magazine Writing 2018," available from online vendors.


As much as we value richness and variety, we also love to see a child pursue his passion for a particular medium, working with it over and over, for a whole morning or every morning for years as he unlocks its secrets, deepening both his mastery and joy in the process. When we see Abby at age two, water-coloring page after page, we trust her instinct to go deeply into that language, and relish the anticipation of what her relationship with paint might mean to her in another year or two. When Ian builds tower after tower, we observe, document, and consider what other tower-making materials we could introduce to honor his passion. When Elliot, barely three, works himself to the point of exhaustion figuring out how to reach the monkey bars, we don't urge him to move on to other activities; we just admire his calluses and remind him to fuel up on snack when he pauses to catch his breath. And when Jesse shifts his focus from the volatile and mighty Incredible Hulk to the wise and gentle Yoda, we are thrilled to see him represent this new passion day after day in many media.
There may be more to learn from climbing the same mountain a hundred times than from climbing a hundred mountains.

THE BREWERY – TINWORKS BREWING CO.
IN THE BREWERY SITS A BESPOKE 1000 LITRE SYSTEM. THIS BREWERY ALLOWS US TO MANUALY CRAFT OUR BEERS TO GET THE MOST FROM ALL THE AMAZING INGREDIENTS. WITH EVERY BREW DAY WE MAKE AROUND 3000 BOTTLES. NOTHING LEAVES OUR BREWERY UNTIL ITS PERFECT.
WE BELIVE THE BEST BEER STARTS WITH THE BEST INGREDIENTS. WE USE TRADITIONAL BREWING METHODS TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THE INGREDIENTS. HAND CRAFTED WE MAKE SURE WE SQUEEZE EVERY LAST BIT OF FLAVOUR FROM THE MALT, HOPS AND YEAST.
WATER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT AS IT MAKES UP 90% OF BEER. WE USE A LOT OF WATER. LUCKILY THERE ISN'T A SHORTAGE IN WALES.
MALT IS TO BEER, WHAT GRAPES ARE TO WINE. IT GIVES US THE SUGARS WE NEED TO CONVERT TO ALCOHOL.
HOPS ARE CLIMBING FLOWERS THAT WE ADD TO BEER. THEY CONTAIN OILS THAT ADD BITTERNESS AND AROMAS TO THE FINISHED BEER.
ONE OF THE 4 INGREDIENTS THAT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED. YEAST IS A SINGLE CELL ORGANISM THAT EATS THE SUGARS AND BURPS OUT ALCOHOL. WITHOUT YEAST WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEER!
THIS IS WHERE THE BREWING PROCESS BEGINS. WE HEAT UP WATER READY TO MIX WITH THE GRAINS. IT NEEDS TO BE AT A SPECIFIC TEMPERATURE, ONE DEGREE OFF AND THERE IS A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN THE FINISHED BEER.
AS SOON AS THE WATER IS UP TO TEMPERATURE WE ADD THE GRAINS. THE HOT LIQUEUR (WATER) AND GRAIN SIT IN THE MASH TUN FOR AN HOUR. WE DO THIS TO GET THE SUGARS OUT OF THE GRAINS. THE SUGARS ARE CONVERTED TO ALCOHOL BY THE YEAST LATER ON IN THE BREWING PROCESS. THE LIQUID THAT COMES OUT OF THE MASH TUN IS CALLED WORT.
AFTER THE HOUR WE TRANSFER THE WORT (SUGARY WATER) INTO THE BOIL KETTLE. THE WORT IS BROUGHT UP TO THE BOIL AND WE ADD THE HOPS. DEPENDING ON WHEN WE ADD THE HOPS WE GET A VERY DIFFERENT TASTE. IF WE ADD A LOT AT THE START OF THE BOIL WE GET A VERY BITTER BEER. ADDING MORE AT THE END WE GET A MORE FRAGRANT BEER. THE WORT IS TYPICALLY BOILED FOR AN HOUR.
AFTER THE BOIL THE WORT IS THEN COOLED DOWN TO 20°C. IT IS THEN PUT INTO THE FERMENTER WITH THE YEAST. THE YEAST EATS THE SUGARS FROM THE GRAINS AND CONVERTS THEM TO ALCOHOL. THIS TAKES 5-7 DAYS.
AFTER THE BEER HAS FINISHED FERMENTING IT IS TIME TO LET THE BEER MATURE. IT IS LIKE LEAVING A GOOD STEAK REST. WE LEAVE THE BEER CONDITION FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT HELPS BRING ALL THE FLAVOURS TOGETHER FOR AN ALL ROUND BETTER BEER. MOST OF THE BIG BREWERIES SKIP THIS STEP.
AS SOON AS WE THINK THE BEER IS GOOD ENOUGH WE BOTTLE IT. FROM START TO FINISH IT TAKES 3-4 WEEKS. WE HOPE YOU CAN TASTE THE AMAZING INGREDIENTS, TIME AND PASSION THAT GOES INTO EVERY ONE OF OUR BEERS.

Q: Three js: Enlarging raycaster area I'm using raycaster to determine what objects the mouse is hovering over. With Lines, there's a linePrecision (which I think is set to 1 by default). So when the mouse gets close to a line without to be exactly on the line, the raycaster returns the object. However, with shapes/meshes, the mouse has to be very precise with this. It has to be inside of the shape/mesh before raycaster detects the intersection (therefore returning the object).
To be even more specific, I have text rendered in three.js as shapes and I'm trying to make them hoverable/selectable. If I use a font that's too light weight (opposite of bold), the mouse has to be exactly inside the font before it's detected (i.e. if mouse is in the hole of an "o" character, raycaster doesn't detect the text as hovered). Text selection is therefore frustrating for the user.
Is there a way to get the same effects I get with raycaster vs lines (detects intersection if mouse is close) but for raycaster vs shapes/mesh?
I've tried adjusting raycaster.linePrecision and it didn't work.

Discussion in 'Content Marketing' started by RestOwner, Apr 14, 2010.
RestOwner
Are there any other websites out there who pay you per article?
#1 RestOwner, Apr 14, 2010
have a look at the list of Content & Article Sites in our Useful Online Business Resources. Let us know if any of those meet your requirements.
You may also want to look into Suite101 if you have an area of expertise, RestOwner. They have been advertising for new contributors in recent months. I believe their payment scale is dependent upon how many page views your articles generate and how well you're capable of incorporating SEO into them. They make no guarantees on earnings although do state some top writers make $1000/month, while others make $30/month. They also supply various tools to help you make the most of your articles.
While it's not a set payment per article per say, your articles do keep on earning for you once they're up. Something to think about anyway. I don't know any writer that doesn't have some old articles that they never got around to using gathering dust. If you have a bunch of them on a similar theme, this could be a way to earn from them. See the Approach section under Apply to be a Writer to learn more.
Another one to consider is DemandStudios. They state they pay "between $5 to $25 or more, depending on the length and subject of the article, with the average writer earning $20 per hour."

Right-click (or Ctrl+click) any shape with a picture fill, and choose the Format Picture option from the contextual menu, as shown in Figure 1.
This opens the Format Picture Task Pane as shown in Figure 2. Within this Task Pane choose the Fill & Line tab, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 2.
Then, expand the Fill section by clicking the Fill button, highlighted in blue within Figure 3. Make sure that the Picture or texture fill radio button is selected (highlighted in red within Figure 3). You can now see all the advanced options for picture fills, as shown in Figure 3, below.
Click this button to open the Insert Picture dialog box. Within the Insert Picture dialog box, navigate to the folder where the picture to be used as your shape fill is located. Select it, and click the Insert button. To learn more, read our Insert Picture in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac tutorial.
This option fills the shape with the content on the Clipboard. If no picture is copied to the Clipboard, this button will be grayed out.
This option allows you to insert a texture as shape fill. Click the down-arrow located in this area to bring up the Texture drop-down gallery, and then choose from any of ready-made textures to change shape fill. Learn more in our Add Texture Fills to Shapes in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac tutorial.
Use the slider to reduce (or increase) the transparency of the shape's picture fill. Figure 4, below shows a picture fill after the transparency was changed to 65%.
When deselected, this check-box ensures that your selected picture is used as a picture fill (full expanse) rather than a texture. If this check-box is selected it brings up the Stretch options that let you to further edit the picture fill. We explain this option in our Tiling Options in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac tutorial.
There are four offset adjustments (left, right, top, and bottom) in percentage values that enable you to adjust the picture edges along the shape edges. Tweak as required. If you don't like the results, you can set all these offset values back to their default 0%.
By selecting this check-box you set the picture fill to rotate in sync with the shape's rotation value. Figure 5 shows three shapes: the first shape is the original shape, and the second and third shapes are rotated copies of the same shape. The second shape is set to rotate with the picture fill, whereas the third shape is not set to do so (compare with first shape).
Play around with the advanced picture fill options, and once you are happy with the outcome, make sure you save your presentation.

We discuss the role of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in communities, including partnerships between New England Sheriffs and the agency. Plus, we explore the challenges incarcerated women, and their families, are facing in Western Massachusetts.
And, why Southeast Asian refugees are especially susceptible to gambling addiction. In addition, how changes to immigration policies under President Trump are impacting Vietnamese immigrants.
Finally, we learn how to cook with a diversity of seafood and discuss why eating different types of species can help sustain our fisheries.

New England Sheriffs Partner with ICE to Jail Immigrant Detainees

President Donald Trump's declaration of a national emergency at the country's southern border was greeted with swift opposition. Sixteen states, including Connecticut and Maine, have filed a lawsuit against the administration's attempt to fund the building of a wall along the United States' border with Mexico. Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey told Maine Public that the fundamental concern is that the president violated the separation of powers clause of the constitution. And Frey says nearly $160 million dollars appropriated for projects in Maine could be diverted, and that could hurt the state's economy. Connecticut's Attorney General William Tong is also concerned about the administration's move to divert money away from other projects to pay for a border wall.
President Trump has tweeted that he believes the suit is political, and he expects to win it in the end. Funding the president's border wall is one of the many immigration-related debates defining the Trump administration.
Another one? The role of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in local communities. Towns and cities across New England have taken steps to adopt so-called "Sanctuary City" policies aimed at reducing cooperation between local police and ICE. But some of the states in the region still cooperate with ICE when it comes to jailing immigrant detainees.
To talk more about the partnerships between ICE and county sheriffs, we're joined by Sarah Sherman-Stokes. She's an immigration attorney and Associate Director of Boston University's Immigrants' Rights and Human Trafficking Clinic.
Interested in learning more? Check-out Shannon Dooling's reporting about this practice in Massachusetts. We are also currently gathering information about this practice around the region.

A new series from the Berkshire Eagle looks at the consequences of women being jailed outside of their home county.
The Berkshire County Jail and House of Corrections in Pittsfield, Massachusetts used to include sections for both men and women. But in 2014, a new unit was built at the Western Regional Women's Correctional Center in Chicopee, Massachusetts.
Here to discuss how women and men are treated differently by the justice system in Western Massachusetts is Heather Bellow, she's an investigative reporter for the Berkshire Eagle.

Gambling Addiction Hits Southeast Asian Refugees Hard

Strokes of good fortune and good luck are highly revered in some Asian cultures, and playing cards and dice at family gatherings and holidays goes back generations. But advocates in the Asian community say that tradition can sometimes lead to a hidden problem: gambling addiction.
As Connecticut Public Radio's Vanessa de la Torre reports, Southeast Asian refugees who came to the U.S. after the Vietnam War are especially at risk.

Can Diversifying the Fish We Eat Can Help Sustain Our Fisheries?
The cover of "Simmering the Sea: Diversifying Cookery to Sustain Our Fisheries"
Have you ever eaten razor clams, slipper limpets, butterfish or periwinkles? Have you ever heard of them? Many of us have our go-to seafood selections, like tuna, salmon, lobster, shrimp. But a new cookbook makes the case for changing it up.
Simmering the Sea is part cookbook and part field guide for diversifying the fish you eat and in the process, helping to sustain our fisheries.
We have two of the book's co-authors here with us today: Kate Masury and Riz Ahmed. Kate Masury is the Program Director of the Rhode Island nonprofit "Eating with the Ecosystem." Also with us is Chef Rizwan Ahmed, he's a culinary instructor at Johnson and Wales University.
