Update on COVID-19 Relief Bills
Congressional negotiations in the Senate on the next major COVID-19 relief package have hit a standstill, but we are hopeful that increased pressure from the White House on the House leadership to move on a COVID-19 bill will reinvigorate the discussions. As the days pass, the chances for a standalone COVID-19 Relief bill grow slimmer.
In May, the House passed its 4th COVID-19 Relief Package and the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act (H.R.6800), which contained many positive provisions for people with disabilities, but the Senate has not taken up this bill. In late July, the Senate proposed its own COVID-19 relief package known as the Health, Economic Assistance, Liability Protection, and Schools (HEALS) Act. The HEALS Act contains some positive provisions for people with disabilities but is wholly insufficient to meet our needs during this pandemic. The latest Senate proposal, the Delivering Immediate Relief to America's Families, Schools and Small Businesses Act (referred to as the "skinny" COVID proposal), was recently voted down in the Senate along party lines 52-47. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) joined the Democrats to reject this bill, thus preventing it from moving forward. This bill did not include our top priorities of increased funding for Medical Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) and special education funding for implementing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), neither of which received dedicated funding in previously enacted COVID relief bills. The Center for Public Representation created a comparison of how disability priorities are addressed in the HEROES Act, the HEALS Act, and the latest "skinny" proposal.
We ask that you contact your Senators and Representatives to express your disappointment that these funding priorities for people with disabilities have been neglected and urge them to find a solution to these shortfalls. You can use our Action Alert for an easy call script and more information. You can find contact information for your elected officials at https://contactingcongress.org.
Civil Rights Commission Releases Report on Subminimum Wage
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) has released a report regarding, Subminimum Wages: Impacts on the Civil Rights of People with Disabilities. This report has determined that Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act – which permits employers to pay less than minimum wage to individuals with disabilities – is "inconsistent with the civil rights protections to which people with disabilities are entitled." It also recommends a phase-out of Section 14(c) along with capacity building for competitive integrated employment while reconceptualizing employment for people with disabilities. A summary of key recommendations found in the report can be found in a recent press release by the USCCR.
Last November, NDSC Policy Director Heather Sachs testified before the USCCR in favor of responsibly phasing out Section 14(c) while putting supports in place to ease the transition. The NDSC firmly believes that all individuals with Down syndrome should have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. Like many other disability organizations, NDSC views Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act as outdated, discriminatory, and reinforcing a life of poverty, segregation, and dependency on public support for people with disabilities. We recognize and respect that there are individuals in our community who are content with their current placements and are reluctant to make this transition. The USCCR has taken this into consideration and recommends key steps that Congress and the federal government can take to phase out Section 14(c) responsibly while reconceptualizing employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
The NDSC strongly supports the findings in the report and encourages Congress and the federal government to act to implement its recommendations. NDSC's full statement and more details of the report can be found on our website.
Medical Rationing Complaint Resolutions
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services continues to resolve complaints about discriminatory rationing of medical care filed by our colleagues at the Center for Public Representation and other national disability groups. Recently, OCR announced a favorable resolution to a challenge to Utah's Crisis Standard of Care Guidelines that states hospitals must provide information on the full array of available treatments and that they cannot issue blanket Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) policies. The OCR also weighed in on the discriminatory impact of several other provisions common in many states' rationing plans. To learn more about the resolution of this Utah complaint and other medical rationing complaints visit the Center for Public Representation's website.
Expanding Food Assistance
As a result of the pandemic and the worsening economic situation, more people are signing up for food assistance. Many people with disabilities rely upon the federal government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). NDSC has been advocating to give states and individuals greater flexibility during this time and to better ensure that those on SNAP are able to use their benefits for things such as delivery and online ordering. As well, we are advocating to make it easier for people with disabilities who may need SNAP in the near future to enroll in the program. NDSC recently signed onto a letter of support for two new pieces of legislation, the Pandemic Child Hunger Prevention Act (H.R.7887) and the Emergency SNAP Flexibilities Extension Act (H.R. 7794), to address these concerns. NDSC Policy Director Heather Sachs serves as a Co-chair of the Financial Security & Poverty Task for the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities, which has been very engaged in this issue.
Advocacy in Action: NDAC Member, Deborah Tomai
NDAC member and Executive Director and Founder of Rio Grande Valley Down Syndrome Association, Deborah Tomai, of Texas, spoke on our recent National Down Syndrome Advocacy Coalition (NDAC) Quarterly Update Call about her firsthand experience with community advocacy.
She introduced herself and told her story; My name is Deborah Tomai. I'm a mom of three and the co-founder of the Rio Grande Valley Down Syndrome Association. I recently had the opportunity to advocate for change in my local school district. At a school board meeting, before the year started, a board member made reference to "special ed" in a derogatory manner. I reached out privately to the board and the superintendent through email, but it's election season, so the press got involved.
Over the last several years, RGVDSA has built some strong partnerships with other local disability organizations. We have sponsored events, worked together on conferences, and shared resources. Because the relationships were in place already, it was easy to unite to advocate for change in the district. Ultimately, fifteen organizations signed onto a statement. I was able to meet with the offending board member privately, along with two other advocates. We presented the letter with suggestions for the district, ranging from disability awareness training to establishing a Special Education Advisory Committee. Since then, the board has received training on disability and diversity, and they have voted to move ahead with the Special Education Advisory Committee. While I'm disappointed that a board member made an insulting comment, I'm excited to see our district moving in a positive direction.
Kudos to Deborah for turning a bad situation into positive change. We also appreciate Deborah telling those in attendance on the NDAC webinar that many of the tips and techniques she used to diffuse and turn around the situation were those she learned at NDSC's Advocacy Training Boot Camp.
If you are interested in learning advocacy techniques and how to use your voice to bring about positive change, please become a member of NDSC's nationwide grassroots advocacy program, the National Down Syndrome Advocacy Coalition. Membership in NDAC is free and we welcome advocates of all abilities and levels of experience!
NDSC Helps CCD Submit Comments on IDEA Paperwork Reduction Waivers
NDSC's Senior Policy Advisor, Stephanie Smith Lee, took the lead, along with Candace Cortiella of the Advocacy Institute, in drafting a letter to the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD), which raised significant concerns about the U.S. Department of Education's proposed IDEA paperwork reduction program. This program would allow waivers of certain paperwork requirements under IDEA, which could potentially impact the Free, Appropriate, Public Education (FAPE) of students with disabilities. To date, no states have submitted applications under the proposed waiver program.
New TIES Center Briefs on the General Education Curriculum
NDSC's Senior Education Policy Advisor, Ricki Sabia, co-authored two new TIES Center briefs. The TIES Center is the federally funded Center on inclusive policies and practices for students with significant cognitive disabilities. TIES Brief #4 describes what access to and progress in the grade-level general education curriculum means for these students. There is also a simplified version of the document, which will help parents determine whether their child with significant cognitive disabilities is being provided with meaningful access to the grade-level general education curriculum. Visit the TIES website for many more resources, including numerous distance learning articles and resources.
New U.S. Department of Education Resources on Student Learning and Transition Services During COVID-19
The U.S. Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) released a new resource to help parents support learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a multi-media learning module that provides tips to get students ready to learn, strategies for reading and math instruction, support for social and emotional well-being, and considerations for the parents of struggling learners and students with disabilities.
The U.S. Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) sent a letter to special education and vocational rehabilitation administrators across the nation addressing transition services during the pandemic. Recognizing that COVID-19 has resulted in students accessing educational services differently than in the past, whether it be virtual, in-person, or a hybrid approach, the importance of the provision of transition and pre-employment transition services has not changed. In addition to the letter, OSERS also recently released an updated 60-page transition guide that is meant to help students with disabilities and their families understand the process and the options available to them as they prepare to leave public education.
Federal Courts Strike Down Federal Rule for Distributing CARES Act Funding to Private Schools
The U.S. Department of Education confirmed that its rule directing how pandemic relief must flow to private school students is "no longer in effect" across the country after a federal court struck it down last week. It is possible that the court decision could be appealed. The rule, which was finalized in July, ordered public school districts to send a more significant share of their CARES Act funding to private school students than is typically required under federal law. This rule would have cost public schools over $1 billion. In addition, school districts have been hesitant to spend their CARES funding because they were unsure of how much was supposed to go to private schools

Madeleine Will, NDSC Policy and Advocacy Advisory Council member, spoke about the past and future for these programs. The Think College National Coordinating Center (NCC) brings together project directors and key staff from Transition Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) model programs to network and share promising practices regarding postsecondary education programs for students with intellectual disability.

Abstract We give a criterion that is sufficient for controllability of multipartite quantum systems. We generalize the graph infection criterion to the quantum systems that cannot be described with the use of a graph theory. We introduce the notation of hypergraphs and reformulate the infection property in this setting. The introduced criterion has a topological nature and therefore it is not connected to any particular experimental realization of quantum information processing.

Later, Alyson drifted toward a disciplined home practice of Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga while her children were young and after they started school, she began to practicing Bikram yoga, where she fell in love with the 26 posture series in the heat. She greatly appreciates how, while everyday the body is totally different, the series remains consistent and is a valuable measuring stick against which to gauge individual change.
She came to the beautiful Evolation studio in Summerland last fall, where she maintains her regular Hot series practice but continues to grow and evolve with the flow and deep classes. Everything fell neatly into place for Aly to do the early spring training in 2016. She has found the shift from practitioner to teacher to be transformational; in her practice, her relationship to yoga, and to the world. She has found it deeply rewarding to share her love and study of yoga with others and to continue to learn so much each time she steps into the studio. Her goal as a teacher is to balance specific instruction and encouragement for correct alignment and form, with space, silence and peacefulness for each student to find their own meditation and truest individual expression of the postures.

Yes, when you sign up you can choose the time zone you want.
No, English is the only language we currently provide.
It stands for the General Data Protection Regulation. By 25 May 2018, all organisations using personal data will have to be compliant with it.
What type of information is considered to be personal data?
The GDPR categorises personal data as any information relating to an identifiable natural person. This broad definition includes information such as name, email and location. It also includes online identifiers such as IP addresses and online behaviour.
What kind of changes will the GDPR bring to Europe's privacy law?
1. Individuals will have significant new rights, such as the right to be forgotten. 2. Consent will be harder to obtain and can be withdrawn at any time. 3. Organisations will become responsible for data security, and must report breaches. 4. Privacy notices will need to contain specific disclosures. 5. Transfers of data to organisations outside the EU will incur specific requirements. 6. Organisations outside the EU will have to abide by the law if they collect and process personal data from within the EU.
Consent needs to be explicit, opt-in and freely given. This means the popular, opt-out based consent of today will no longer be acceptable.
Our organisation is based outside of the European Union. Do we need to comply?
Yes. If you offer goods or services to EU residents, then you must comply with the GDPR.
We don't charge for the services we offer. Do we need to comply?
Yes. The GDPR applies to organisations that offer goods or services to EU residents irrespective of whether a payment is required or if the organisation is monitoring the behaviour of EU residents.
We process personal data manually instead of using automated means. Do we need to comply?
If the manual data processing contributes toward a database, then you must comply. If the processing is once-off and doesn't enter a structured and accessible database, then the GDPR may not apply.
Are there any compliance exemptions for businesses or specific industries?
EU Member States can make derogations for national security, defense, public security, criminal and ethics investigations and prevention, public interest and the enforcement of civil law. You'll need to ask your supervisory authority for a list of derogations.
You may be fined up to €20m or 4% of your worldwide turnover (revenue), whichever is greater. You may also be subject to lawsuits by affected data subjects.
How aggressive will regulators be about fining organisations that don't meet the May 2018 deadline?
The truth is we don't know. The EU is still issuing guidance on provisions so there remains some uncertainty about how they'll be enforced. What this means is, initially, you'll need to make value judgements on whether your processing is lawful. For example, allowing an employee to take a laptop on holiday or selling your business and transfering your books could be technically non-compliant but unavoidable and in need of a risk assessment. The Information Commissioner's Office (the UK supervisory authority) has insisted it will be a proportionate, rational regulator , and that it won't aggressively go after businesses to levy fines except as a last resort. But their budget is funded by fines. And they issued ¾ million pounds in mid-2017 despite the new Data Protection Law being enacted. So it'll be best to err on the side of caution.
Is there any leeway, in terms of the May 2018 deadline, for organisations of different sizes/budgets?
Will organisations with a history of poor data protection be examined any harder or made examples of?
Conglomerates and companies working with sensitive personal data such as health and biometric data would do best to ensure they comply with the GDPR. Industries with a history of poor data protection practices, such as digital direct marketing and social media organisations that hold large quantities of personal data, should make sure their consent practices comply and that they can guarantee their data subjects' rights under the GDPR.
Are there any benefits to being compliant or is it just another burden on business?
There are very concrete benefits. Compliance is an opportunity to redefine your organisation's governance, policies and data management practices. By educating your employees and clients in data protection and privacy you'll strengthen your brand as being responsible and trustworthy.. During the assessments, data mapping and gap analysis you'll undertake in order to become compliant, you'll have an opportunity to not only review and improve your data security, but also have a better understanding of how you're using personal data and how you might be able to use it more effectively.
Is anyone offering GDPR compliance guidance for businesses/organisations?
All the supervisory authorities are issuing advice and offering guidance, as are independent organisations such as the IAPP and the Data Protection Forum. Data Privacy professionals, IT consultancies and law firms have also begun to offer services related to GDPR compliance.
Does my business/organisation need a data protection officer (DPO)?
You must appoint a DPO if you represent a public authority or are a business/organisation that undertakes regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects or processes sensitive personal data.

Eastern riverbank wild-rye grows in the alluvial soils in woods and thickets (riparian zone) along larger streams. It occasionally forms hybrids with other wild-rye (Elymus) species.
leaf blades softly pubescent on the adaxial surface, internodes of spike mostly 2-3 mm long, and lemmas usually villous (vs. E. riparius, with leaf blades glabrous or scabrous on the adaxial surface, internodes of spike mostly 3-5 mm long, and lemmas usually minutely scabrous).
eastern riverbank wild-rye. Elymus canadensis L. var. riparius (Wieg.) Boivin • CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT. Riparian forests, river banks.
4×7. Elymus hystrix × Elymus riparius → This very rare wild-rye hybrid is known from VT. It generally resembles Elymus riparius with a large, arching spike. However, the spike internodes are 6–7 mm long (rather than 3–5 mm long), the glumes range in development from nearly absent or merely slender bristles (as in E. hystrix) to fully developed (as in E. riparius), and the spikelets are more loosely spreading than in typical E. riparius.
7×11. Elymus riparius × Elymus wiegandii → This very rare wild-rye hybrid is known from VT. It is largely sterile (as shown by its abortive pollen) and on the surface appears to be a less robust, narrower-leaved form of Elymus wiegandii (i.e., it often has the conspicuously drooping spikes of that species). However, the hybrid plants show spikelets with mostly 2 or 3 florets, indurate and usually unstriate glume bases, and paleas mostly 10–10.5 mm long (with nodding or arching spikes, spikelets with mostly 2 florets, indurate and unstriate glume bases, and paleas 6–9 mm long in E. riparius vs. conspicuously drooping spikes, spikelets with mostly 4–6 florets, slightly indurate and somewhat striate glume bases, and paleas 9–14 mm long in E. wiegandii).

Oil marketers on Sunday in Lagos gave the Federal Government seven-day ultimatum to settle outstanding debts totalling N800 billion, failing which depots would cease operation across the country.
The marketers, comprising Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association (DAPPMA) and Independent Petroleum Products Importers (IPPIs), said failure to meet the deadline would force its members to disengage workers from depots.
Confirming the seven-day notice, Mr Patrick Etim, Legal Adviser to IPPI told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that banks have taken over investments and assets of oil marketers over unpaid debts.
According to Etim, marketers have no chcice that to ask their workers to stay at home over unpaid salary arrears due to huge subsidy debts owed by the government.
"The only way to salvage the situation is for government to pay the oil marketers the outstanding debts through cash option instead of promissory note being proposed.
"As I speak, nothing has been done several months after assurances received by government saying it would pay off the outstanding debts.
Etim said that several thousand jobs were on the line in the industry, as oil marketers began cut-down of their workforce due to inability to pay salaries.
The Executive Secretary of DAPPMA, Mr Olufemi Adewole, also confirmed the seven-day ultimatum notice.
Adewole disclosed that the oil marketers on Nov. 28 served the ultimatum letter on the Debt Management Office (DMO), Minister of Finance, Chairman, Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream, Department of State Services and Minister of State, Petroleum Resources.


There are places in this world endued with magic. Some are imposing edifices, others are hardly trodden hinterland, but of the most magical to me are those places deeply woven in the fabric of any given culture. It is for that reason that I so love, collect, and preserve through photographs Americana, the magic idols of my culture. The enchantment in Americana is a link to that simpler time of which our grandparents speak, of that chimera dream we chased once in this country.
Some of those magical ghosts of the American dream are abandoned and fading, while others are still alive and thriving. Among those still alive, albeit perhaps not in all cases thriving, are drive in movie theaters. Close to my heart are drive ins, not only for my fixation with automobiles and Americana, but also because some of my fondest memories from childhood into adulthood involve trips to the drive in.
An unabashedly American institution leftover from the heyday of the automotive industry and golden era of Hollywood, at their height of popularity drive ins compromised a quarter of the nation's theaters but as technology rolled on, most were abandoned and demolished, with a scant few hanging on into the modern day primarily thanks to nostalgia. Although Oklahoma was a latecomer to the drive in boom, much to my jubilation it has also been tardy to follow the decline of the drive in theater, with at least eight of its theaters still in constant operation, a ninth in partial operation and a tenth under new ownership with the possibility of reopening. Inspired by this abundance and multiple recent trips to the drive ins of our area, I am starting a short series of entries within which a selection of the remaining drive ins of Oklahoma and surrounding states will be featured, both those which are open and those abandoned. It is my hope that a new audience will be touched by the magic of these bygones, find the beauty even in the abandoned theaters to be posted here, and see fit to support either one of those still open theaters featured on this blog or seek out one left in your own area which would no doubt be very much grateful for your support.
The photographs seen in this entry are a selection from a series taken in 2011 and 2012, some previously published both on this blog and elsewhere. They are of the tenth Oklahoma drive in mentioned above, the Teepee Drive In in Sapulpa originally opened in 1950. Due to its potential for reopening and because of its 66 location, I am choosing to make it the first of the abandoned drive ins to be featured here. One of the remaining Route 66 drive ins in Oklahoma, the Teepee has been abandoned since 1999, but a couple of years ago it was purchased by a new owner with plans to reopen, revitalize and even bring back the original teepee neon sign that once graced Route 66. At that time I raced to take these photos the day before the lot was due to be cleaned and cleared with the intent of documenting the drive in both its abandoned state and after its revitalization. I also took photos when locals voluntarily cleaned the lot. However, with the closure of the bridge leading to the drive in due to structural issues, allegations swarming about the purchaser of the property, and for other reasons unknown, the Teepee currently remains abandoned.

Hello, I am a feminist. A half white, half Asian feminist.
But I beg you, non-feminists, not to be so sensitive to words that you refuse to keep reading. This is for you, too.
I'm writing to you today, on International Women's Day, to ask you to do three things. Only three.
Let those with less privilege speak, uninterrupted.
First, be a feminist. This might seem ridiculously hard if you're a dude, but contrary to the popular myth, feminism is not a celebration of the plight of men. Instead, it is a celebration of women, and, as it's been recently defined, "the radical notion that women are people." So I ask you, man, woman, or someone in between, that you celebrate women and champion along side them for their cause.
While it might be tempting to argue that women have had "equal rights" for quite a long time, women only got full voting rights in 1920, which was 96 years ago. Some women are alive who were at one point not eligible to vote because of their genitalia. Not only that, but even now, with women HAVING voting rights, many decisions are made regarding the legality of their bodies and the accessibility of their health care, and these decisions are made by people who tend greatly toward being male. By titling our cause "feminism" we are claiming that patriarchal structures put disproportional disadvantage on non-heterosexual, non-male people, and that a non-patriarchal structure would ideally fulfill the goals of gender equality. Not the existing system.
I want to draw attention to what is being blamed, not the who, per se. Yes, there is male privilege. Yes, there is white privilege. Yes, we acknowledge that there are some white male people who have less privilege than other people. However, the vast majority of privilege does not lie with non-male and non-white groups because of societal norms and structures that perpetuate white male privilege. So no, we don't blame "all white men" but we blame the system that gives white men disproportionate power, and the consequence of dismantling this system will inevitably result in power distribution to other people who are not white, male, or heterosexual, and inevitably as well, result in a shift in power away from white men. Thus is the nature of power.
Next, be intersectional. Being a feminist, as "radical" as that may be, is not enough. As pointed out (helpfully, ironically!) by many men's rights activists (MRAs*), there are thousands of villages in the world where women have acid thrown upon them, and there are other places where violence against women is a serious problem (FYI the US does have a significant problem with violence against women). There are also women in minority groups who are strongly disadvantaged in the workplace because of the way their hair is textured, because of the color of the skin, or because of the sound of their names. These groups, more than white female groups, suffer the disadvantages of being both female and non-white.
* As an aside to that, MRAs parade banners of men's plight without proposing any substantial solutions, and use these arguments as a means to silence feminist rhetoric as opposed to providing any substantial initiatives for change — if you have proof of situations in which this does not happen, please send them to me because I've heard so many issues and no concrete solutions, that I have no reason to believe otherwise. They cite bias as the primary reason to discount and question the legitimacy of studies on privilege but rarely take responsibility for the sexist comments that follow the supposedly "objective" perspective they hold. MRAs are, frankly, bigots who use the guise of objectivity to mask their subjective and unfounded sexism. Case closed. Next.
One example of a lack of intersectionality, as relevant to the current primary elections, is the anger and outrage that many had over Bernie Sanders' tone with his statement "Excuse me, I'm talking," and the simultaneous blind eye that people turned to Hillary Clinton's speech and her terse, security-escorted ejection of a female Black Lives Matter activist who was attempting to voice her concerns. Neither of these statements were good for either candidate to make in the eyes of the press, but the way each was treated is a clear symptom of the race issues our country has.
Minorities are also disproportionately incarcerated. Black women are more than 6 times as likely to be incarcerated as white women; Latina women, more than twice as likely. So in addition to the existing plight of women, minority women have the added pressure to overcome the odds of their own races' disadvantages.
Finally, let those with less privilege speak, uninterrupted. It is phenomenal that you are still reading, and that you are still interested in celebrating International Women's Day with us. I urge you to post your favorite badass woman, or celebrate the achievements of your female peers. I urge you to bring to light the many great things that women have done, and use your existing social status to bring to light the suffering and struggling of others who are less privileged than you.
But more importantly, don't use your status to overshadow those with lower privilege. If someone steps up to speak about their struggles, let them speak, uninterrupted. If someone opens their mouth to speak, and tears flood their faces, let them cry, uninterrupted. If someone screams and their faces turn red with anger, let them scream, uninterrupted. When someone, for their entire life, has been discounted, decried as sinful, harassed, oppressed by actual laws, been physically and verbally assaulted, and time and time again looked over as biased, irrational, or criminal before ever having done a wrong, all due to their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and/or socioeconomic class, they will be angry. Very angry. And they deserve every second of that anger. They deserve every breath that is exhaled for the purpose of exposing their experience. They deserve to speak every unpleasant word and sound that flows from their lips, because we, as a society, have failed them.
They are entitled to have emotions about their opinions because it is a subject of their lives, and not merely a matter of trivial philosophical chatter. The benefit of privilege is that you can look at a situation like oppression "objectively," because it has not influenced your life in any way.
They will beat their chests, raise their fists, shout to the heavens and back, and sometimes they may cry and scream. Thus, it is our duty to listen, take notes, and change our world for the better; so that screaming isn't needed, so that fear isn't needed, so that all people may feel that for once, their voices are recognized, and that they are recognized, as human.

Frosty Drew: A History
The Frosty Drew Memorial Fund, Inc., was organized in 1981 and incorporated in 1982. Our Bylaws state that we are constituted exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes. We develop and implement programs designed to educate the general public on a number of environmental, scientific, and cosmological subjects including an understanding of the natural world, introduction to a cosmic perspective, and humanity's place in the Universe.
The Frosty Drew Memorial Fund operates the Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center located at 61-62 Park Lane, Ninigret Park, Charlestown, RI. Run by a volunteer Board of Directors, its operations are financed by memberships, private donations, grants, and fundraising.
In accordance with our priority to keep program fees as low as possible, our observatory is open to the public free of charge every Friday night and on special occasions.
Frosty Drew Memorial Fund, Inc: Enlighten, discover, inspire- through education and research- knowledge about science, the night sky, and the universe.
Shortly after the U.S. Naval Auxiliary Air Station closed in 1973 the land was deeded to the town of Charlestown for use as a park & wildlife refuge. Visionaries saw this as an opportunity to establish a nature center as a memorial to Edwin F. "Frosty" Drew that would help people to develop an appreciation of, a respect for, and a connectedness with the natural world and to serve as a gateway to the new Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge.
The site that was chosen for the new nature center overlooked a freshwater pond on the southern boundary of the new park. The building chosen had been the Chief Petty Officer's residence and had not been used since the U.S. Navy left Charlestown in the early 1970s. It was in need of extensive improvements and modification.
The building was moved to its present site by the town of Charlestown and sealed from the weather. The Frosty Drew Memorial Fund directed the development of the project and solicited funds. Businesses donated materials, and many volunteers and town personnel helped with the work. The Frosty Drew Nature Center was the first building to open in the new park, on July 3, 1983.
Since 1983, we have made many improvements to the Nature Center and its grounds. Then, in 1988, we added the Observatory, where many have developed a lifelong interest in astronomy. In 2010, we added the John G. Drew Sky Theatre to give more people the opportunity to enjoy astronomy.
In 2018 the Frosty Drew Nature Center reorganized as the Frosty Drew Science Center, changing its focus from the Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge, and building on the organizations successes with astronomy, the night sky, the cosmos, and the natural universe.
Over 30 years ago we began from a vision, and we thank many for the realization of that vision. The town of Charlestown has been consistent in its support of the Frosty Drew Mission since our beginning. Organizations such as The Rhode Island Foundation, The Champlin Foundations, The South County Tourism Council, Prince Charitable Trusts of Chicago, Concerned Citizens of Rhode Island, and others, have supplied grants to enable us to build facilities, purchase equipment, and enrich our programs. Individuals and businesses donated materials, labor, and other support. The dedication and hard work of countless volunteers has also helped to carry out the work of Frosty Drew.
Frosty Drew Science Center
The Science Center has an exhibit/meeting/class room, a kitchen, two gender neutral restrooms, and a library. Trees shading the lawn were donated by a local garden club, and there are flowering cherry trees and several memorial gardens. Placed in the walk leading to the front door are stones engraved with names of the original founders and of those who love and have loved nature, dark skies, Ninigret Park, and Charlestown. The Science Center is surrounded on two sides by a large deck with benches. Stairs from the deck lead to a memorial patio, gardens, and several bench overlooking Little Nini Pond. Attached to the Science Center is the John G. Drew Sky Theatre. The Science Center, Sky Theatre, and deck are handicap accessible.
The Observatory was constructed primarily for observational astronomy, with research capabilities. The observatory is fitted with an Ash Dome utilizing an azimuth motor and a declination shutter motor. It houses a fully automated 24" PlaneWave CDK600 Corrected Dall-Kirkham telescope accessible by a viewing platform. The telescope is connected via WiFi to the campus network and can be controlled by any connected device on campus. Interfacing computers utilize Stellarium to drive the telescope, allowing precise positioning and tracking of over 80,000 deep-space objects, and over 200,000,000 stars, all of which can be viewed with the touch of a button. A critical element of the Observatory site is the extraordinarily dark sky above, one of the darkest in Southern New England. The combination of the dark sky and the capabilities of the observatory allow both astronomers and visitors alike to observe the rings of Saturn, the Galilean moons of Jupiter, Lunar geography, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and thousands of astronomical objects.
John G. Drew Sky Theatre
The Sky Theatre is a large presentation space with a wide theatre projection wall. Connected via our campus network to our telescopes, astronomers are able to project images that are being observed through observatory telescopes onto the theatre wall. In a way that cannot be achieved in a planetarium, observing celestial objects and witnessing astronomical events are made available to more people. The Sky Theatre is also used as a teaching resource where visitors can visually learn about astronomical science, the universe, and so forth. The Sky Theatre is handicap accessible.
Edwin F. "Frosty" Drew
The Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center stands as a memorial to the dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work of Edwin F. "Frosty" Drew.
Frosty contracted polio as a child, a year before a vaccine was developed. After graduating from Brown University, he began his career as a writer. However, he soon became actively involved in efforts to preserve and protect the natural heritage of southern Rhode Island.
His gifts of leadership, public speaking, and private persuasion, as well as his tenacious adherence to his principles, earned him a place as spokesman for environmental concerns statewide. It is largely a result of his efforts in organizing and raising public awareness that Ninigret Pond and its surrounding areas remain as a priceless natural asset to the town of Charlestown and the state of Rhode Island.
He was active in many groups, including the Rhode Island Audubon Society and Concerned Citizens of Rhode Island. He also served as president of the Rhode Island Chapter of the American Littoral Society and chairman of Rhode Island's Commission on Energy.
In 1990 Frosty was inducted into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame for his contributions to the state's natural environmental heritage and the fame and distinction he brought to his state and nation.
Sadly, Frosty did not live to see the result of his hard work and achievements. He died in September 1976 at the age of 28.
The Frosty Drew Memorial Fund, Inc., is organized as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is also classified as a public charity under sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code.

I have a question regarding the actual process of bringing valuables to Canada. I already read and understood the part about filling out the forms and providing the details.
In my case: I will fly from my home country via Istanbul (connecting flight) to Toronto. The airline ticket allows me to bring 1 carry on and 2 pieces of luggage 23kg each.
So for the rest of the stuff, do I bring all of my personal belongings to the airport and ask the airlines to send them together with the main luggage? Do I have to pay for the weight of that luggage to airlines? Or do we have special "personal belongings" allowance since we are immigrants?
Thank you for using our forum to share your question.
We hope that you will find this resource useful.
Thank you again for using our forum.
My husband and I are over 70 years old.
We landed in May 2017 as immigrants through sponsorship and united with my son.
We decided to move our belongings to Canada next month and realized that we could not find our document list and we could not remember if we were confirmed by the customs two years ago of our list.
We did provide a list in writing English and my mother tongue.
What can we do to bring our duty free belongs to Canada next months?
(204) 983-3500 or (506) 636-5064.
Officers are available Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (local time) except holidays, should callers require additional information.

BAME deaths in custody
Below we reproduce statistics from our 2014 report Dying for Justice on BAME deaths in custody. The full report can be download here (pdf file, 2.2mb).
This report features the cases of 509 people from BME, asylum seeker and migrant communities who have died in custody, in suspicious circumstances, between 1991 and September 2014. On average, this is about 21 deaths per year. The majority of the deaths documented – 348 (68 per cent of the total) – took place in prison; 137 cases (27 per cent) were in police custody and 24 cases (5 per cent) were in the immigration detention estate (including immigration removal centres and short-term holding facilities). As Figure 1 shows, in 2007, there were 49 suspicious deaths – the highest number recorded.
Of the cases that we have monitored, 478 (94 per cent of the total) people were male, and 31 (6 per cent) people female. Just over half of the people whose cases are featured were black or black British. (See Figure 2)
Contributory factors
One-in-three of the total deaths (169, or 32 per cent) we documented were apparent suicides, or as a result of self- harm. (See Figure 3) In 64 of the total cases (13 per cent) the person who died had known mental health problems. Medical neglect was a contributory factor in 49 of the total number of cases (10 per cent) and in 48 of the cases (9 per cent) the use of force appears to have contributed to the person's death.
Inquest verdicts
As shown in Figure 4, ten of the deaths we documented (5 per cent) were followed by
an unlawful killing verdict as a result of an inquest. Two of these verdicts were overturned on appeal. In the majority of the cases (60 per cent) featured, the inquest verdict is unknown to us. (There is no register of all inquest verdicts available to the public.)
Police deaths
Of the 137 people who died as a result of police contact, 126 (92 per cent) were male and 11 people (8 per cent) female. Seventy-eight people (57 per cent) were Black or Black British, and 31 (22 per cent) were Asian or Asian British.
The cases are concentrated predominantly in London, where 61 per cent died. Around one in three of those who died during or following police contact (17 people, or 12 per cent) lost their lives in the South East outside London. Nineteen people (14 per cent) died in the Midlands.
Just over a third of those who died following police contact died whilst in a police cell or station (51 people, or 37 per cent), and slightly fewer people died on the streets (49 people, or 36 per cent). A breakdown of this is provided in Figure 7, which also shows that 17 people (12 per cent of the total) died in their homes, during police raids, after police visited them in their homes or after some other form of police contact.
Fewer than half of those who died following police contact – 61 people, or 45 per cent – were arrested before their death. Nine of the 137 (7 per cent) had been detained under the Mental Health Act. Thirty-four people died as a result of a police chase, and
6 people (4 per cent) died in incidents after being stopped and searched.
The use of force by the police contributed to the deaths of 39 people. And 29 deaths were linked to the use of physical restraint. Seven people's deaths were linked to the use of CS gas by the police and in 10 of the cases the person died after falling from a balcony, at times trying to escape from the police. (Figure 8)
Inquest results are not known to us in 67 (49 per cent) of the cases. In 21 cases (15 per cent of the known cases), the inquest returned a verdict of misadventure/accidental death. Four of the inquest verdicts were unlawful killing, and six were lawful killing. (Figure 9)
As stated above, 348 deaths (68 per cent of the total) – took place in prison. Of these, 332 people (95 per cent) were male and 16 (5 per cent) female. The breakdown of ethnicity of those who died in prison broadly matches that of the cases as a whole. Fifty- one per cent of those who died in prison were black or black British. Thirty-three per cent were Asian or Asian British. (See Figure 10)
Prisoner status
Of those who died in prison, almost half (45 per cent, or 158 people) had been sentenced for a criminal offence and a further 113 people (33 per cent) were on remand, awaiting trial. (See figure 11) Twenty-three were foreign national prisoners of whom 11 were serving sentences and 12 more detained after sentence under immigration powers.
Prisoner location
The prisons where most deaths took places were HMP Wormwood Scrubs and HMP Pentonville (18 people died in both). Seventeen people died in HMP Wandsworth, 14 in HMP Brixton and 13 in HMP Belmarsh. Ten people died in HMP Leeds, 8 in both HMP Manchester and HMP Winchester and 7 in each of HMP Birmingham, Frankland, Nottingham, Norwich and Leicester.
According to our records, nearly half of those who died in prison – 157 people or 45 per cent of the sub-total – took their own life or died as a result
of self-harm. In particular circumstances, however, the proportion of prisoners who took their own life increased substantially. Of the 113 people who died while on remand, 83 (77 per cent) took their own life. Nine of the 11 foreign national prisoners who died (82 per cent) took their own life. (See Figure 12) Of the 348 cases involving deaths in prisons, according to our records, medical neglect was a contributory factor in 28 (8 per cent of the total). In 41 cases (12 per cent), our records indicate that mental health was a factor in the death.
In the majority of cases we recorded (224, or 64 per cent), the inquest verdict was not known to us. Of those known to us, inquests returned suicide verdicts in 34 cases, andmisadventure/accident verdicts in 23 cases. In 22 cases, the inquest ruled that the person had died of natural causes. (See Figure 13)
Immigration deaths
Twenty-four of the deaths took place in immigration detention, shortly following detention or during a deportation. Of the 22 deaths in detention or shortly afterwards, about one-third were in Harmondsworth immigration removal centre. (See Figure 14)
Of the 22 deaths in detention, or shortly afterwards, we are aware of inquest verdicts in 16 cases. In 7 of these, the inquest ruled that the person took their own life. (See Figure 15) At least 9 of these 22 deaths involved a pre-existing medical condition or were related to a medical condition that occurred during detention.
Deaths by year
Deaths by year (excluding those who died during attempted removals) are shown in Figure 16.


Four young people, three from Macon County, were hurt in a wreck last Monday night, February 3, on Union Hill Road in Clay County, and the impact of the crash was so severe it knocked the engine out of the car.
According to the report filed by Trooper Mark Mahan, 21-year-old Spencer Holden, of Nashville, was driving a 2004 Nissan Maxima west bound on Union Hill Road. The vehicle topped a hill causing the vehicle to go airborne, indicating speed was a contributing factor. Once the vehicle made contact back on the roadway the vehicle crossed the center of the road. The vehicle then exited the roadway where it struck an embankment and tree. The impact was so severe that the engine was knocked out of the car. The vehicle also rolled numerous times where it came to rest on its left side.
Spencer Holden was transported to Cookeville Regional Medical Center by ground ambulance and was later transferred to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. He was discharged on Sunday, February 9.
Passengers included 19-year-old Christopher Blackburn and 18-year-old Cierra Sullivan, both of Lafayette, who were transported to Cookeville Regional; and a juvenile from Red Boiling Springs was also carried to Cookeville for treatment.
Charges are pending against Spencer Holden. Trooper Mark Mahan was the investigating officer.

Ugly Christmas sweaters seem to have gone to a different level this year. Last year, I started seeing some really wacky ones, like with stuffed animals split in half and attached to front and back of a sweater. This year, from super heroes, to video games, and even with the NFL, you can wear the ugliest of sweaters. I was offered to review one of the weirdest ones I've seen: one with animated video clips as part of the sweater, the Digital Dudz Ugly Christmas Sweaters from MorphSuits. First download the Digital Dudz app from your favorite app store (links below), then place your phone in the special pocket within the sweater. Pick the right scene to show and it will then display on the phone within the sweater, creating an animated scene that will make anyone do a double take, as it includes audio too.
Brought to you from the folks at MorphCostumes, we have the ten most famous and fabulous Christmas Jumpers of all time. I think Holly looks good in #7.
Have you ever thought about getting a dashboard camera (dash cam) for your car? One way of doing so is with a replacement mirror that snaps over your existing mirror that includes the camera. ihreesy sells one for $60 on Amazon. Check it out. Great Christmas present.
Time to pick out a Christmas outfit that won't be worn on Christmas?
As a software developer by trade, I go between two extremes daily as far as creating web sites. At work, I'm creating the tripadvisor.com web site and have total control over what and how everything is done. When blogging, I use Goggle's blogger.com environment. That is an easy to use enclosed environment for helping anyone create a blog quickly and maintain it, while giving up some control over the flexibility you have with the blog's abilities. My blogging environment is designed for the non-technical user. As a technical user, I can certainly use it, it is just a little simple for me. The other major blogging platform is from WordPress. With WordPress, you're given more control of your web site. How you design it is up to you. You can use their tools, or your own.

Do you in any way control your child's access to the Internet? There are various ways to limit your child's access, including only letting them surf while you're watching over their shoulder, but typically there are ways to turn it off that your child is bound to figure out, or you have to step away for a phone call or they sneak onto the machine when you're not watching. I recently had the chance to try out KoalaSafe which offers an alternative way of protecting your child from the unknown on the Internet. Even being in the tech field myself, my eight-year old amazes me about how much he can do on the computer with just what he learns in school. Instead of trying to play catch up, especially if you're not tech savvy, the WiFi parental controls that something like KoalaSafe offers help you to limit what your child has access to on the net.
Nowadays, if your child asks you something you don't know, you go to Google and show them the answer. Even if I do know the answer, I do the same as the pictures and extra details that provides would be way better than any answer I can provide. Kids learn this and do the same. If they're curious about adult topics, they can find answers to anything. I'm still waiting for my son to ask about ED with all the commercials about it on TV these days.
Please share this post so others may see.

Emperor Divers
Earlier in February Emperor Divers launched the Covid Diver Heroes initiative, where we aim to recognise 8 people who have stepped up in the pandemic with free liveaboard trips in the Maldives and the Red Sea. We are honoured to share with you the story of our first hero, nominated by Dave Walker:
I'd like to nominate, Deborah Braham, a friend I made on a diving trip to Tobago.
Deborah is an NHS anaesthetist and early on when PPE was in short supply, she just went on WhatsApp and organised visors and more directly for her hospital. Deborah just made it happen.
Deborah married another diver not long after we met. With her in the UK and us in Switzerland, we haven't managed to meet up since she had children. Whatever, in Yorkshire speak, she's a "lovely lass" who definitely deserves a good holiday.
The BBC covered the story of The Visor Army she created:
A doctor who urged volunteers to make visors for NHS staff due to a shortage at her hospital says she is "overwhelmed" by the response.
Without (visors), doctors and nurses are at high risk of being contaminated by aerosolisedparticles containing the virus during procedures such as intubation or when they are caring for patients on ventilators.
"Initially it was just people I knew who came on board, then it was people I didn't know," DrBraham said. "Within a short time this whole thing had grown so big with so many people wanting to help."
More than 75,000 face shields have been produced just weeks after Deborah Braham appealed for help on WhatsApp.
We at Emperor are in awe of the quality of the stories received so far, which number over 50! Dr. Braham was judged to be the deserving winner of a Red Sea liveaboard trip and we have been in contact with her to arrange that.
We still have 3 Red Sea and 4 Maldives liveaboards to award to other heroes already nominated or yet to be nominated. Anyone who would like to nominate a Covid Diver Hero should visit here for the information: https://www.emperordivers.com/blog/2021/02/thank-your-covid-hero.html (terms & conditions apply)

Microsoft on Wednesday released a new Windows 10 Mobile build for Insiders. Dubbed 10586.122 aims to fix bugs and bring other improvements to the company's mobile operating system. On the sidelines, the company also announced that it is expanding support for four more devices that can now leverage Windows 10 Mobile.
Microsoft said that users with either of the following smartphones: MCJ Madosma Q501, BLU Win HD W510U, BLU Win HD LTE X150Q, and ALCATEL ONETOUCH Fierce XL can now become a Windows 10 Insider and install the latest build of Microsoft's mobile operating system as it releases.
Again, Windows 10 Mobile builds are currently only available for smartphones that shipped with Windows 10 Mobile out of the box. In some other news, chatter persists that the company is also working on bringing Windows 10 Mobile ROM for OnePlus 2, and Mi 5 smartphones.

To some degree, this is with merit. AI's potential to change how customers interact with the enterprise and change the role of employees within the enterprise presents a real possibility for disruption.
Although AI as a concept has been around for years, relatively recent advances in processing capabilities and analytical techniques have led to a notable acceleration in capabilities (see machine learning, natural language processing, and perception) and advances in use cases that seemed very futuristic a decade ago (e.g. automated driving).
However, as with all technology going through the hype cycle, enterprises evaluating the potential implications of AI should assess the reality of adoption rather than be led solely by the newsworthy AI stories.
To do this, however, they must establish a view on what AI is, particularly as many vendors have been keen to hitch on to the AI bandwagon for any solution that has an analytics or automation component.
Ovum's 2017/18 ICT Enterprise Insights program, a study of over 6,300 enterprises globally in 4Q17, looked both at adoption levels and plans for an array of AI applications as well as where enterprises intended to deploy such technologies, on an industry-specific basis.
Adoption of AI by enterprises is still a nascent concept, with only 10–15 percent of enterprises actively using it.
The most pervasive application of AI technology at present is machine learning–based decision-making, although close to 14 percent of enterprises stated that they were using AI for natural language processing and perception (e.g. automated video or image processing).
In contrast, despite the increasingly widespread use of robotic process automation (RPA), under 10 percent of enterprises used AI to achieve machine learning–based RPA.
That said, over half of enterprises surveyed stated they were planning to use such AI applications or trialing in these areas.
A further 20 percent claimed that they were at least considering using them (even if they had no solid plans in place).
What is driving such interest? A look at where enterprises are planning to use AI gives some insight, with the high-impact potential of many use cases a key driver of significant business and IT interest.
The leading use cases include order management for buy-side investment institutions (using AI to minimise the market impact of trades), digital imaging in healthcare (e.g. using perception AI to support radiology analysis), digital channels in retail banking (to drive automated interaction through chatbots), and order management and fulfilment in retail (to optimise the supply chain).
In most of these cases, the potential to improve the bottom line is significant. For vendors looking to benefit from interest in AI, understanding such use cases will be key to benefiting from this disruptive wave.

The high frequencies are handled by the M-32 compression driver with 1″ exit to provide exceptional overall performance. A winning combination of matched components that offer ideal characteristics for music reproduction.
The DAS AudioAltea-415 and Altea-412 are passive systems designed for use with external amplification and an outboard DSP. They allow users to choose the powering option they prefer and benefit from the same enclosure features and top-of-the-line components as the Altea 400 powered versions.


You might need to let go of certain pre-existing beliefs and ideas that you know deep down inside are not serving you. The voices inside your head that whisper you can't do, be, or have exactly what you want and deserve. December will be a test in that regard, because it's often easier to hold onto the brand of what's comfortable rather than try on something new. The universe is now demanding that you try on new ways of thinking by discarding old, outworn patterns in the same way that life eventually forces you to throw out your most comfy pair of jeans because they're worn to rags. They have served their purpose.
Mercury will help you achieve this mental closet cleaning from December 3 until December 22 as he travels retrograde through your message sector. You'll come out of this experience ready to embrace a new intellectual endeavor, especially thanks to the help of the New Moon on December 18 in the same area of your chart.
But pay close attention, Libra, because the universe is shifting your mindset for another reason, and it has to do with your greatest security needs. Saturn, the planet of lessons and responsibility, will move into your home and family sector on December 19, remaining here through December 2020. It's time to build a solid personal foundation and to learn how to provide your own nourishment without relying on anyone else. Family responsibilities might increase, but that's because it's your turn on the cosmic wheel of life to be the caretaker. You've got this ... and it all begins in your mind.

Giving and Support April 17, 2018
We are writing to people about financially supporting the Australian New Church College.
The Australian New Church College is one of our key national activities which does a number of things to further the work of the New Church in Australia with its societies and with individual people. It also works with some New Church organisations overseas. It trains future ministers, it provides courses for people who want to study New Church teachings, it does a lot of good work online and, very importantly today, it encourages the work of Logopraxis which is group work based on using Swedenborg's writings, which has been a tremendous experience for those taking part.
The financing of the College is undertaken by the Board of The New Church in Australia on behalf of the church, with considerable help given from several societies.
About seven years ago, an invitation was made to societies and individuals to give their financial support to the work of the College and Rev David Millar, the spiritual director of the College. This wonderfully resulted in a number of people giving a monthly direct payment, with them deciding on the amount they choose. This continues well.
We believe there are quite a number of other people in the church who would be pleased to support the College in this way. We are writing to you hoping that you will be one of those people. If you decide to help, it would be very beneficial to our available funds, and of course it would be greatly appreciated. The way to set it up is very simple and here are the details of how to do so. Decide your monthly amount first according to your wishes. Then you can make regular monthly payments to the College by setting up a page 25?monthly direct credit, either through your bank or using online banking where payments can be automatically repeated.
Our bank account details are:
The New Church in Australia
BSB – 012- 019
Account number – 226417589
Thank you very much indeed, on behalf of the Board and the College. Our best wishes,
Rev David Moffat on behalf of the Board of the New Church in Australia

Sponsoring the Work of The Australian New Church College
On Sunday February 1st 2015 I am sending the following set of questions round to each of our societies. The purpose in doing this…

Latroit Shares Video For Latest Single, "Don't Give Up"
GRAMMY-winning producer Latroit and Australian singer-songwriter Charlz shared a meditative video for their lush cover of "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel (ft. Kate Bush). As Bentley explains, "When the pandemic hit this year, the sentiment of the song became more urgent than ever." The stunning video featuring tai chi from Master Zi (founder of the Dharma Health Institute) on a jetty is the perfect companion to floating melodies & sweeping production in this reimagined classic track.
On the surface, the cover is a modern take on a timeless message of hope that we can all relate to, but through a more personal dimension of Kate Bush's performance. For the video, "I imagined Kate Bush as the voice inside Peter Gabriel's head," Bentley explains. He thought of Master Zi for the video, who grew up in Congo, Central Africa and now runs a wellness studio in Playa Del Rey, California.
"As I considered ways to represent that point of view through a video, I thought of the martial art tai chi," Bentley said. "In the way that we all go through our daily routines, striving for a balance of physical and mental health, I saw a parallel between the practice of this ancient tradition and the enduring message of the song. I visualized a central figure in the video, moving through the gestures and postures of the practice, resonating with the natural world."
"Don't Give Up" marks the first release from Jason Bentley's Secret Technology label, distributed by Ingrooves Music Group worldwide. "Jason is an icon of pop culture curation, was an early supporter of the Latroit project, and instrumental in my involvement in the Depeche Mode remix, which later garnered a Grammy award," Latroit said. "I'm excited to be working with Jason on this special record." The single artwork is by Lawrence Azerrad of LAD Studios in LA, who also won a Grammy for The Voyager Golden Record: 40th Anniversary Edition box set in 2017.
