Djerf Avenue- Meet Matilda Djerf, 25 Year Old Swedish Influencer
Djerf Avenue founder, Matilda Djerf, talks about her passion for vintage clothing, her battle with anorexia and orthorexia, and her efforts to bring sustainability to the fashion world.
She also shares her story about growing up in a single parent household and her struggle to overcome her social anxiety.
Matilda Djerf's childhood
Matilda Djerf's battle with orthorexia and anorexia
Matilda Djerf's love for vintage
Djerf Avenue's sustainability practices
Matilda Djerf's social life has taken a back seat
Matilda Djerf was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on April 8, 1997. She is an entrepreneur, fashion designer, blogger, model and influencer.
Her fashion brand, Djerf Avenue, was created in 2019 with her boyfriend, Rasmus Johansson. It is a ready-to-wear fashion line.
Before she graduated from high school, Matilda worked as a model in small fashion businesses. When she was a teenager, she suffered from body dysmorphia and anorexia.
However, she started to get more interested in the world of fashion and decided to pursue her career.
In the early days of her career, Matilda posted pictures of her work and her travels on social media. After her videos accumulated millions of followers, she became a famous social media star.
As of now, she has over 2.7 million followers on Instagram and more than 1.2 million followers on TikTok. Her net worth is estimated at about $3 million USD in 2022.
Matilda Djerf is a 24-year-old Swedish model and fashion designer who grew up in a small Swedish town. She is a huge Instagram star, having amassed over 2.5 million followers.
But how did she go about becoming a social media influencer? And how does she balance her life as a teen idol and her career as a fashion entrepreneur?
Matilda Djerf has built a multimillion-dollar lifestyle empire. Her eponymous dress line, Djerf Avenue, sells essential dresses, tees, and pants. It also sells a few knickknacks.
Matilda Djerf's best-selling dress is a modest one-piece laced ensemble that cost just PS50.
The company recently announced that it would open a logistics warehouse in the United States in the fall. Similarly, the company has sold out all nine pieces of its debut collection.
If you're a fan of a chic and streamlined Scandi-inspired style, then you've probably come across Swedish model, social media influencer and fashion designer Matilda Djerf.
Djerf is the muse behind her own clothing label, Djerf Avenue.
Matilda Djerf started her own fashion line in 2019 with her boyfriend Rasmus Johansson.
Originally, she started her business to earn extra money for travel. Her brand has since grown into a cult online fashion label.
Matilda Djerf is a true Gen Z fashion icon. Her outfits are immaculate, but are also very easy to pull off. She combines her European clean-girl aesthetic with the Coastal Grandma trend.
She has more than 2.6 million followers on Instagram and over 1.2 million on TikTok. It's no wonder that she's become one of the most recognizable names in the beauty industry.
Djerf Avenue is a Swedish ready-to-wear brand created by fashion influencer Matilda Djerf.
The brand focuses on producing clothes ethically in Portugal. Its latest collection features minimalist tones, classic silhouettes, and neutral colours.
Initially launched in 2019, the brand has become a popular choice for fashion-conscious customers.
Since then, the brand has received significant acclaim for its high quality products and innovative approaches to sustainability.
In order to make the most of its limited production, Djerf Avenue has chosen to produce all its garments in Europe.
This means that everything is manufactured in Portugal, which is known for its quality workmanship. Besides, Portugal is renowned for its respect for workers' rights.
Djerf Avenue offers a variety of organic fabrics including recycled polyester and cupro.
Moreover, they use natural corozo buttons. These 100% natural products are more durable than plastic buttons.
Matilda Djerf is the face of a new fashion brand, Djerf Avenue. The Swedish influencer has over two million Instagram followers and more than 1.2 million followers on TikTok.
Djerf isn't exactly the first Instagram star to launch a clothing line. Her brand has been an instant success, with many of her pieces spotted on fashionistas in New York City and Los Angeles.
In April, Djerf sold 10 percent of her company to an angel investor. However, the fashion label is still young, so the founders aren't sure how long they'll last.
Initially, Djerf and her partner Rasmus Johansson launched the brand in order to earn extra cash for travel. However, their social lives have taken a backseat to their work.
While Djerf isn't posting much on her social media platforms, she spends over an hour a day creating content and responding to fans' messages.
She's also planning to open a warehouse in the U.S., which will allow her to sell items to customers outside of Stockholm.

How Practicing Gratitude Changed the Way I Live My Life
In my darkest moments, I turn to the things I know I have.
By Lacey Johnson Published: May 16, 2016
Courtesy of Lacey Johnson
I am a carnival ride of emotions every time I get my period. In fact, I can't think of a single period–since crossing over into the dark side of puberty–where I haven't at least cried a little. And, as much as I'd love to believe I reign supreme over my hormonally-induced emotions, I know that subscribing to such a belief would only be a lie.
A few months ago, on a wintery Saturday, I was feeling pretty sad. My period had arrived, for one, and with it came the realization that I wasn't pregnant. It felt like Hope turned its back on me as if to say, Sorry, girl. I'll catch you next month.
I became a deflated little thing curled up on my bed, crying into my pillow with my dog staring at me curiously. Just that night, I was talking to a friend about my conception woes when I learned that an acquaintance took pleasure in the fact that my husband and I were having trouble conceiving. She had a bad marriage and was an unhappy person–but she did have a child.
And, I was full of pain and ultimately rage.
In the past, I would have become a fire-breathing dragon in a second flat. I would have hunted her down and hurled such vengeful expletives in her direction, Mother Earth would have begun to shake along with me.
But a couple of years ago, I decided to drop the mic. None of that venomous ranting ever made me feel better. It only created horrible episodes of regret for myself once I calmed down, and it added further ugliness to the world. Besides, I knew she had to be a rather unhappy and hurting person to celebrate another woman's misfortune.
So, this time, I did not retaliate. Nope.
Instead, I only allowed myself to remain in that space for a moment before turning my eyes away from it and filling up my well of hurt with gratitude.
I found gratitude was the answer for a lot of what I was feeling. I considered every person who came to mind for having blessed me with kindness–from colleagues I had worked with to my aunt.
And, you know what? It worked.
I went from blowing snot into a ball of tissues to giggling to myself about all of the heart-warming and hilarious inside jokes I share with people I admire and love. My headspace went from steaming mad to being swarmed with the buzz of loving memories–memories that were serving to cradle me.
I began to consider how common it is to go weeks without taking a moment to feel sincere gratitude for something. We often complain that we never have enough of this or enough of that–from love to money to time. But what is the point of having more love, money and time if we aren't grateful for the relationships, the funds and the hours we have already?
I now strive to fill my every day with gratitude. I force myself to get evidence of my gratefulness onto the page. Sometimes that manifests in the form of a letter, and sometimes it means just means getting cozy in the living room to write out my thanks in my journal.
It's gratitude that has proven to be the most reliable remedy for my bad days. Every single time.

Click the button below to add the Hydrate 360 Intensive Recovery Complex to your wish list.
Hydrate 360 Intensive Recovery Complex is a therapeutic combination of ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol which works to restore the skin's lipid barrier from within. With 5% Niacinamide, the non-vasodilating amide form of Vitamin B3, Hydrate 360 helps calm and soothe dry, irritated, red skin, and helps decrease the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Ideal for treatment of dry, cracked, flaky skin compromised by procedures such as microdermabrasion, non-ablative light treatments, and superficial chemical peels. Hydrate 360 is 100% paraben-free, nut oil-free, and fragrance-free.
I recently switched to this product (3 months ago) after my surgeon's office stopped carrying LoveMyBody which I had been using for about a year. I must say I was skeptical of switching, but overall i've been very pleased with the results. I have combination skin and this product hasn't made my skin excessively oily, and it's definitely kept it hydrated. It goes on very smooth, comes in a very large jar, and is a great price. I will definitely purchase it again. I will include that after three months I still have almost half the jar left so it's last much longer than any other products i've tried.

Prison for West Manchester opioid addict whose friend fatally OD'd
Aaron Hinds, 26, was sentenced yesterday to six months to two years in state prison. He did not receive credit for the 420 or so days he's already spent locked up.
Prison for West Manchester opioid addict whose friend fatally OD'd Aaron Hinds, 26, was sentenced yesterday to six months to two years in state prison. He did not receive credit for the 420 or so days he's already spent locked up. Check out this story on yorkdispatch.com: https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/crime/2019/04/25/prison-west-manchester-opioid-addict-whose-friend-fatally-odd/3575400002/
Liz Evans Scolforo, York Dispatch Published 5:01 p.m. ET April 25, 2019 | Updated 2:44 p.m. ET April 28, 2019
Aaron Hinds (Photo: Submitted)
A West Manchester Township man acquitted last month of providing the drugs that killed his friend on Christmas Day 2017 has been sentenced for dealing opioids in that case and a separate one.
Aaron Hinds, 26, appeared Wednesday, April 24, in York County Court, where he was sentenced to six months to two years in state prison in each of two drug-dealing cases, with that time to be served concurrently.
He has spent more than 420 days in prison already but received no credit for the time he has served.
Hinds is currently serving a two- to four-year sentence for violating his York County drug-court requirements in a 2016 theft case, according to his defense attorney, Diana Spurlin.
"I'm sorry for what I did," Hinds said in court. "I've been battling heroin addiction for ... years now."
"He has always taken responsibility for everything that he did," Spurlin told The York Dispatch after the sentencing hearing.
Hinds started taking drugs when he was 11 years old and was using heroin by the time he was 14, according to Spurlin.
"Once he's released (from prison), it will be his longest period of sobriety ... since he was 11," she said. "He definitely does not want to return to York County — there are too many triggers here for him."
Hinds' short-term goals after being released will be to enter rehab, then to enroll in a trade school and learn a skill, according to Spurlin.
He is precluded from enrolling in drug-treatment programs at state prison because he had a year and a half of sobriety, then relapsed, but only briefly — and also because he abandoned his drug-court program, according to Hinds and Spurlin.
Hinds attends Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in prison, the attorney confirmed.
He is the son of West Manchester Township Sgt. Patrick Hinds.
The background: A jury on March 6 acquitted Hinds of providing the drugs to A. Raymond Dunkelberger, who was found dead on Dec. 25, 2017.
Northern York County Regional Police said Hinds sold a bundle of opioids marked "SELFIE" to Dunkelberger a few days before his overdose. The bag marked "SELFIE" was unopened, Spurlin argued at trial.
Ray Dunkelberger, 28, was found unresponsive in his Conewago Township home, police said. He was taken to Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a few hours later.
Dunkelberger and Hinds had been friends for years, and their families were close, according to Spurlin.
"These kids all grew up together," she said.
Although jurors acquitted Hinds of drug delivery resulting in death — which carries a maximum possible sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison — they convicted him of fentanyl possession with intent to deliver.
Hinds told investigators in January 2018 that he had been clean for more than a year until he relapsed in early December 2017, court documents state.
A. Raymond Dunkelberger (Photo: Submitted)
Philly drugs: Police said Dunkelberger had asked Hinds to get him heroin on Dec. 21, 2017. Hinds drove to Philadelphia, where he purchased 15 bags from a street dealer, according to documents.
Hinds warned Dunkelberger not to use more than a quarter of a bag and that the drugs were more potent than anything he'd had before, court documents state.
A. Raymond Dunkelberger Obituary, York, PA,
Dunkelberger was a 2007 West York Area Senior High School graduate and later attended Harrisburg Area Community College, according to his obituary.
He enjoyed music and history and was a painter, according to his obituary.

Representative Jeff Miller, VA Renaissance Man?
by Jaeson "Doc" Parsons Nov 20, 2016
The Trump transition team has been hard at work putting together the cabinet that president-elect Trump will rely on to guide the country according to his policies. As of Friday, the president-elect has tapped Senator Jeff Sessions for to head the Justice Department as AG and Kansas Congressman Mike Pompeo for top spy at the CIA. For the other postings, some whispers have Mitt Romney for Secretary of State and Goldman Sachs alum Steven Mnuchin for Treasury. As the days continue, more cabinet slots will be officially filled but the speculation has garnered the media's attention since even before Trump's win last week.
Included in the vetting process is who president-elect Trump will tap to take over the controversy-mired Veterans Affairs, a post now held by former Procter & Gamble CEO (and '75 West Point grad), Robert "Bob" McDonald. According to early speculation, eyes are on retiring US congressman from Florida's 1st district, Jefferson Miller.
Jeff Miller has been in government since 1984. Having been elected to Florida's House of Representatives in 1998, he then won election to the US House of Representatives in 2001, and has been reelected six times. Congressman Miller has chaired the Committee on Veterans' Affairs and has been since 2011.
As he is being considered for the VA's top spot, I thought it prudent to list some of the bills he has sponsored as it relates to veterans. Click the below links for the full text of each bill.
H.R. 4031 – Department of Veteran Affairs Management Accountability Act of 2014: This bill arose after the 2014 scandal where veterans died because of waiting lists which were hidden from by senior officials at the VA. This bill would allow the VA secretary to remove the individual from Federal service; or (2) transfer the individual to a General Schedule position at any grade of the General Schedule the Secretary determines appropriate.
H.R. 4810 – Veteran Access to Care Act of 2014: Congressman Miller also sponsored this bill which would allow the VA secretary to enter into contracts with non-VA facilities to provide necessary care and medical services to limit the wait time and inconvenience of distance to eligible veterans.
H.R. 2189: This bill creates a task force to evaluate the backlog of disability claims and analyze potential improvements to submit to the secretary, requiring the implementation of solutions deemed appropriate by the secretary and to submit justification to Congress on those not implemented.
Read Next: Dr. David Shulkin nominated for Secretary of Veterans Affairs
These are just a few of the bills that Congressman Miller has sponsored for the improvement of the lives of veterans in this country. He has come out recently lambasting the VA, stating its officials are "hiding behind a litany of excuses" in an August Op-Ed for InsideSources. He went on to say VA officials "haven't learned much from the wait-time scandal that shook VA to its foundations and forced the resignation of former Secretary Eric Shinseki".
Obviously, the post for VA secretary has not officially been filled yet but it would appear that Congressman Jeff Miller would be a good fit and might even enact the changes this government agency and veterans so desperately need. These changes will take time and real political and administrative muscle. The millions of veterans who have served faithfully deserve the effort. Let's hope Congressman Miller is granted the time and more importantly the congressional support to ensure this overhaul takes shape. If not, Congressman Miller will be sacrificed on the VA altar while the American veteran remains a pawn in the ongoing political posturing in the Beltway. Let's hope president-elect Trump plans real change where it counts for these men and women and not just more partisan rhetoric, actual lives are counting on it.

White Supremacist Event in Kimmel Confirmed
Caroline Haskins, Deputy News Editor
Caroline Haskins
On Oct. 3, the PI's Kimmel OneStop booking was from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. As of Oct. 19, the Kimmel OneStop booking is shown as 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The Propertarian Institute, an "Anglo Conservative" think tank, paid to reserve Kimmel Center for University Life room 912 for six hours on Sept. 26 under a false customer name, according to an investigation by WSN.
The room was reserved for a PI roundtable discussion with outed white supremacists. According to a PI Facebook post, attendees paid between $45 and $65 per ticket and had the option of paying an extra $50 to attend a group dinner at an unspecified location.
Flyers for Identity Evropa, a white nationalist hate group, were put up in Kimmel by individuals who attended this event, according to an investigation by the NYU Department of Public Safety. The investigation also found that these individuals are unassociated with NYU. According to Curt Doolittle, founder of the PI, none of the approximately 40 event attendees were NYU faculty or students.
Kimmel Operations changed NYU building room reservation policies in response to the PI's event, according to CAS senior and Student Body President Juan Calero. Prior to Oct. 3, any third party group could reserve rooms in NYU buildings. As of Oct. 3, parties must be affiliated with an organization or department at NYU in order to reserve a room.
What was The Propertarian Institute's event?
The PI event, titled "Western Civilization: Circumventing the Frankfurt and Postmodern Schools," was a roundtable with Ricardo Duchesne, Tom Sunic, Kevin MacDonald and Doolittle.
Duchesne, Sunic and MacDonald all write for white supremacist publications. Duchesne writes for The Council of European Canadians, whose goal is to preserve Canada's white "ethnic composition and cultural character." Sunic writes for The Occidental Observer, which MacDonald edits. The online publication's goal is to promote "white identity, interests and culture."
Doolittle said in an email that the goal of the roundtable was for the panelists to promote the PI, whose philosophy claims to use Anglo Conservatism to "separate the west from the rest."
"We had hoped to draw attention to the Institute by engaging in a controversial roundtable on a controversial topic," Doolittle said.
According to the PI's YouTube video of the event, the controversial topic was the "Frankfurt School" — the basis of left-wing political philosophy. The panelists discuss how they believed the Frankfurt School is ushering the downfall of civilization.
During the panel, Sunic said that a person's gene pool should be considered when defining democracy and human rights.
"Some of my opponents, some of my rejectors call me a Nazi, a neo-Nazi, anti-Semite, fascist, whatever," he said in the video. "So eventually, I might take a certain badge of honor of it, you know? Being called by those names, those smearing names."
Sunic's book, "Titans Are In Town," is a series of essays about how "endless interracial chaos" make Europe a "dystopian landscape." Amazon sells the book for $19.50. Sunic declined to answer how many copies he sold at the event.
"I also spent some time talking about words such as 'democracy,' 'tolerance,' 'human rights,' 'multi-ethnic consensus' and their different and often opposing meanings in different political regimes," Sunic said in an email. "I had my book on display and did sell a few copies."
Advertisements for the PI event stated that AltRight.com co-founder and NYU alumnus Jason Jorjani would be a panelist, but they did not advertise MacDonald or Doolittle as panelists. On Sept. 19, an undercover video published by The New York Times depicted Jorjani envisioning a future with Hitler on the currency and an ethnic holocaust in the United States.
Jorjani said via email that he did not attend the PI event, but it is unclear when exactly he stepped down as a panelist.
"When I first agreed to attend the event, it was billed as a forum for a discussion about the future of Western civilization," Jorjani said. "Shortly after my resignation from the Alt-Right Corporation and Arktos Media in mid-August, I conveyed to [the event organizer] that I would not be able to attend the event."
However, advertisements depicted Jorjani as a panelist as soon as one day before the event. At the time Jorjani resigned from AltRight.com and Arktos media, two primary media outlets of the "alt-right," he remained a financial stakeholder in both organizations. On Sept. 21, five days before the PI event, a post on AltRight.com announced that Jorjani no longer owned shares in the organization.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Arktos media has a partnership with Identity Evropa, whose flyers were found in Kimmel on Sept. 27.
"I was told at the last minute [Jorjani] wasn't coming, and that it was because he lost his job," Doolittle said in an email. "But I don't know if that's true."
Jojani was suspended from his teaching position at New Jersey Institute of Technology on Sept. 25, the day before the PI event.
Screenshot of a post by Curt Doolittle to the PI Facebook page on July 20 advertising the PI roundtable event.
According to a PI Facebook post, tickets for the event ranged from $45 to $65 in price and were available on EventBrite with an access code. Shanaynay Tomson or Megan Usui, whom Doolittle identified as the event organizers, would then provide this access code via Facebook messenger.
Doolittle said that the entrance fees were used to offset the expenses of the event, such as reserving Kimmel room 912. He declined to specify the rates of individual expenses.
"[The PI] netted a loss on the event in the realm of $4000," Doolittle said. "So there is no money remaining to use for any purpose."
The event location was not given on the PI Facebook page, but both Doolittle and NYU spokesman John Beckman confirmed via email that the PI event took place in Kimmel 912. The room has blackout shades and a maximum capacity of 50 people.
Kimmel OneStop, the reservation service for rooms in Kimmel and other NYU buildings, shows that the PI reservation was made under the moniker "Seattle Commercial Fitness." WSN was unable to prove that Seattle Commercial Fitness exists.
Kimmel Operations did not respond for comment.
What's the connection to the Identity Evropa flyers?
On Sept. 28, two days after the PI event, white nationalist hate group Identity Evropa tweeted images depicting its flyers outside the Market Place at Kimmel and inside a Kimmel conference room. Identity Evropa describes itself as "a fraternal organization for people of European heritage."

The hashtag in the tweet, #ProjectSiege, refers to Identity Evropa's college student recruitment campaign of the same name. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, flyers related to Project Siege have been distributed on over 40 college campuses.
Calero said that a freshman student found two Identity Evropa flyers on the afternoon of Sept. 27, the day after the PI event. The flyers were lodged in the rental lockers adjacent to the Market Place at Kimmel. After photographing the flyers, the student contacted Calero, who removed the flyers and gave them to Leah Lattimore, director of the Center for Multicultural Education and Programs.
The freshman student declined to comment for this article and requested to remain anonymous.
Calero said that he rushed to email as many NYU administrators as possible about the flyers.
"It was a lot in the moment," Calero said. "I was just [emailing] this person, and this person, and this person."
According to Calero, Public Safety investigated security camera footage on Sept. 27 to determine who put up the flyers. On Oct. 3, investigation concluded that three individuals, who were in Kimmel to attend the PI event, distributed the Identity Evropa flyers. According to NYU spokesperson John Beckman, the individuals who distributed the flyers are unassociated with NYU.
These Identity Evropa flyers inspired 15 student groups, including NYU Against Fascists and NYU Sanctuary, to organize an anti- Nazi demonstration on Sept. 28 in Washington Square Park. Over 100 students attended the rally, where a person in blackface heckled two speakers, both women of color. One of these speakers, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, said that while people targeted by the Identity Evropa flyers needed to be heard, these people were extremely vulnerable to violence and harassment.
"When these rally responses happen, it is not in a leftist vacuum," the speaker said. "[External] violence is reproduced in these spaces. Our safety is not guaranteed. We are really putting ourselves on the front line."
Although the individuals who distributed the Identity Evropa flyers also attended the PI event, Doolittle said that the PI has no institutional or financial affiliation with Identity Evropa.
However, some individuals associated with the PI are also associated with Identity Evropa. Sunic has retweeted Identity Evropa multiple times and follows Identity Evropa on Twitter.
Project Siege is a collaboration between Identity Evropa and Arktos media, according to an Identity Evropa announcement on Twitter. Jorjani was still a shareholder of Arktos media as of Aug. 15, and unlike AltRight.com, Arktos media never announced whether Jorjani's shares in its organization had been sold. However, Jorjani denied any current personal, professional, or financial association with Arktos media, the PI or Identity Evropa.
"I think that it was reprehensibly irresponsible for Identity Evropa to have put flyers on the NYU campus," Jorjani said.
How did NYU respond?
In a statement to WSN, Beckman condemned Identity Evropa and acknowledged that room reservation policies changed in response to the PI event in Kimmel.
"The university's position on white supremacist, Nazi and similar philosophies and activities is that they are vile, worthy of our condemnation and at odds with our campus' values," Beckman said.
On Oct. 5, the NYU Student Government released a statement condemning the PI, white supremacy, anti-Semitism and European Imperialism.
According to Calero, this statement was an alternative to a statement from President Andrew Hamilton.
The Senate Executive Committee, headed by President Hamilton, drafted a version of the Student Government's statement. However, the Student Government voted to release a version of the SEC statement on its own behalf.
One of the speakers heckled at the anti-Nazi rally believes that the response to Identity Evropa flyers highlights inadequacies in how campus activists respond to white supremacy.
"My big concern is that the [rally] was co-opted by white leftists to promote their organizations rather than speak out against the 'alt-right' and white supremacists," the speaker said. "We need to elevate the voices of people directly under attack. We all have a voice, but some of us are silenced."

I attended that event. However, I did not see any "Nazis" or "White Supremacists"!? Does NYNews always slur people they disagree with??

A not unreasonable bit of reporting. About what we expected. I'll reiterate the points I've made directly.
1 – The Propertarian Institute advances libertarian political solutions to the current democratic conflict. We are not a WN supporter. Although we do support small states and nationalism where possible for the purpose of producing those commons most desired by different groups – rather than forcing each other to live as we think others should. THat's what it means to be 'libertarian': fascists right or left are no different.
2 – Our charter is to promote rule of law by the natural law of reciprocity, and the use of institutions to create compatibility between all peoples despite our dissimilar wants, because, Rule of Law as practiced in the west, and which gave birth to reason, philosophy, science, is unique to the west – and the source of our high trust polity, and economic, technological, and institutional advantages. If rule of law is controversial, or if my personal efforts to prohibit deception in matters of legislation, then I question the morality of anyone who is such a critic.
3 – The purpose of the event was to engage a controversial subject and people. Which this critical article has served us by creating attention. Even if we must defend against accusations it merely assists in getting out our message: the problem of our age is our current form of government, and the incremental devolution of rule of law. All journalists do what we have done. Which is to generate insight into controversy.
4 – As I understand it, NYU was simply an inexpensive venue in the city where we could count on. It kind of irritates me that others leveraged the event for their 'racist' politics. But it's to be expected. NYU and Columbia are favorite targets of right wing ridicule.
5 – I have written aggressively against racism – more so than any other conservative libertarian. And for this reason I am frequently attacked by the white nationalist movement on a regular basis. And I work to eliminate racism from the right wing discourse.
6 – I had no idea this would be a problem for the university. It should be a normal topic of inquiry. On the other hand perhaps I have been living in a post-soviet state long enough that America has regressed, and is now simply revisiting the McCarthy era with the left in the majority this time. 😉
Affections to all.

There are very few things that are worse or more annoying than watching a completely pointless movie, that means well but ultimately is about- and adds absolutely nothing.
No need to be mild about this movie; I absolutely hated it. Throughout, I constantly kept wondering what the point of it all was and what the movie was trying to do and say with its story. Sad thing about it is that it truly seems to believe it's being a cute and heartfelt movie, about social issues with some realistic touches to it.
Just like its story, its approach is all over the place. At parts its a silly comedy, at others a more serious one and at others its being more of a straight and serious drama or romantic movie. But really nothing in it ever clicks. There is never a right balance, making this movie ultimately ineffective as a comedy, drama and romance and just as a movie as a whole.
It's a real big problem for the movie that the story seems to be going absolutely nowhere. It's its own fault really. It tries to throw in far too many distractions, that in the long run add absolutely nothing to the story. Guess the movie tried hard to connect everything, by showing how the different characters influenced each other and helped to change their lives but the different story lines and characters just never feel well enough connected at all for it to ever work out as something convincing or effective. Instead it's one big, uninteresting, mess, that's not even being remotely entertaining or funny with any of its comedy either.
You would think that a movie which stars Robert Vaughn, Christopher Lloyd, Wayne Knight and Jerry Stiller in it at least would feature some mildly amusing comedy but it's all pretty embarrassing to watch really. They get absolutely nothing good or funny to do in this movie and at times you could see them struggle with some of its poor material and badly written dialog. Really painful and embarrassing to watch really and I also just can't understand why any of them ever agreed to appear in this movie. It's not like they received an handsome paycheck for it either, seeing how low-budget this movie is.
Another thing that's bad about the movie is that it doesn't even feature a good enough main character in it. Tom Pelphrey just totally isn't likable in this and comes across as a crazy (yes, crazy! Not depressed, as they try to convince you of), spoiled little brat, that whines and complains about absolutely nothing relevant or interesting for this movie. Something that's annoying about all of the characters in this movie is that by the end of it they don't really seem redeemed, or come across like they have progressed as human beings. By the end of it, the movie does indeed wrap all of their story arcs up but it's all extremely forced and some stuff just comes out of absolutely nowhere. Not satisfying at all.
It's a good example of some poor film-making. That's probably the most kind and positive thing I could say about it.


Existing comments have clarified that it should be 'getting in touch with' or 'contacting'.
'Contacting with' doesn't work, though 'getting in contact with' is possible - I just wouldn't use it in either of the above structures.
I would also change the 'thanks'..
"Thanks for getting in touch with us"
"Thank you for contacting us"
In practice, there is little, if any, difference between the two. Both are acceptable for business use. However, getting in touch with can mean establishing a relationship, while contacting is strictly about the communication transaction. For example, it is possible for someone to get in touch with his feelings or get in touch with his feminine side. On the other hand, contacting his feelings is altogether wrong, and contacting his feminine side would imply a multiple-personality disorder.

Q: Hazelcast not using it's own partition-operations threads resulting in lack of order I would like some support with the management of partition-aware operations. I am not able to see use of partition-operation threads within eclipse debugger (see attached images). Only ForkJoinPool workers are ever used.
This is applicable to the following operations:

*

*map.submitToKey(strategyId, new TriggerUpdateEntryProcessor(update));
This is using a Offloadable implementation (but not readonly) therefore should be processed in blocking mode, but it does not.

*executorService.executeOnKeyOwner(triggerUpdateTask, strategyId);
It's also meant to be possible to submit a partition-aware task https://docs.hazelcast.com/imdg/4.2/performance/data-affinity#partitionaware but this doesn't work either.

Also, regardless of submitTo or executeOn, both act the same.
Should I see threads running under partition-operations? Is this a configuration issue.
I am assuming that executorService functionality is correct in that it's only partition-aware in terms of running the thread on the right member but not running on a partition-operation thread, though would still expect it to run on a generic-operation thread.
This is confusing in the documentation as there are limited examples of partition operations and "partition" it seems is used to refer to both literal partition threading and member location.
•   The only examples are IMap.get is and executor.submitToMember is not. But executor also has submitToKeyOwner so will get processed on the right partition but will it be by that member's generic-operation thread instead of partition-operation...
•   Data Affinity topic states "Data affinity ensures that related entries exist on the same member. If related data is on the same member, operations can be executed without the cost of extra network calls and extra wire data. This feature is provided by using the same partition keys for related data."

A: If you implement Offloadable the entry processor will NOT run on the partition thread. From the Javadoc:

If the EntryProcessor implements the Offloadable interface the processing will be offloaded to the given ExecutorService allowing unblocking the partition-thread, which means that other partition-operations may proceed. The key will be locked for the time-span of the processing in order to not generate a write-conflict.
In this case the threading looks as follows:
partition-thread (fetch & lock)
execution-thread (process)
partition-thread (set & unlock, or just unlock if no changes)

If you want to run the entry processor on the partition thread then just don't implement Offloadable.

Kentucky, Oklahoma teachers rally as rebellion grows

Share All sharing options for: Kentucky, Oklahoma teachers rally as rebellion grows

OKLAHOMA CITY — The state Capitol in Kentucky filled with teachers protesting pension changes and demanding generous school funding Monday, and thousands of Oklahoma educators walked out of classrooms in the latest evidence of teacher rebellion in some Republican-led states.
Many Oklahoma schools were closed Monday, and districts announced plans to stay shut into Tuesday with teacher demonstrations expected to last a second day.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed legislation last week granting teachers pay raises of about $6,100, or 15 to 18 percent. But some educators — who haven't seen a pay increase in 10 years — say that isn't good enough and walked out.
The state's largest teachers union has demanded a $10,000 pay raise for educators over three years, $5,000 for support personnel and a $75 million increase in funding this year.
"If I didn't have a second job, I'd be on food stamps," said Rae Lovelace, a single mom and a third-grade teacher at Leedey Public Schools in northwest Oklahoma who works 30 to 40 hours a week at a second job teaching online courses for a charter school.
GOP Rep. Lewis Moore said it's unclear what more teachers can accomplish by shutting down schools.
"I don't know how much more can be gained when we already raised $350 million for teacher raises," Moore said. "The Department of Corrections needs a billion dollars more. Everybody would agree our roads and bridges aren't squared away."
But Rep. Collin Walke, a Democrat, said teachers should keep up the pressure. Two separate bills pending in the Legislature to expand tribal gambling and eliminate the income tax deduction for capital gains could generate more than $100 million in additional funding each year.
"I think the Republican strategy is to wait the teachers out," Walke said.
Oklahoma ranks 47th among states and the District of Columbia in public school revenue per student while its average teacher salary of $45,276 ranked 49th before the latest raises, according to the most recent statistics from the National Education Association.

The demonstrations were inspired by West Virginia, where teachers walked out for nine days earlier this year and won a 5 percent increase in pay. Teachers in Arizona are now considering a strike over their demands for a 20 percent salary increase.
National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen Garcia spoke to thousands during the rally in Oklahoma, saying lawmakers need to do more.
"We are through correcting their mistakes."
In Frankfort, Kentucky, teachers and other school employees chanted "Stop the war on public education."
"We're madder than hornets, and the hornets are swarming today," said Claudette Green, a retired teacher and principal.
Schools across Kentucky were closed, due either to spring break or to allow teachers and other school employees to attend the rally.
Amid a chorus of chants from teachers rallying in the Capitol, Kentucky lawmakers considered a new state budget that includes higher spending for public education.
Budget negotiators unveiled a spending plan Monday that includes increased spending for the main funding formula for K-12 schools and restored money for school buses that the state's Republican governor had proposed eliminating.
The additional education spending would be paid for by a 6 percent sales tax on a host of services that had previously been tax-free. The spending and taxing proposals cleared the Senate on Monday and went to the House, which was expected to vote on the measures later Monday.
Language arts teacher Lesley Buckner was reluctant to give lawmakers much credit.
"We're sending a message," she said. "If we continue to stay united, they cannot turn away from us, they cannot turn their backs on us."
The rally happened after hundreds of teachers called in sick Friday to protest last-minute changes to their pension system. Teachers have rallied several times during Kentucky's legislative session to protest the pension bill, but Monday was by far their biggest event.
Republican lawmakers in Kentucky passed a pension overhaul Thursday that preserves benefits for most workers but cuts them for new teachers. The move was done in response to chronic underfunding of the state's teacher retirement system and in defiance of a powerful teachers union that vowed political retribution. Opponents objected that the pension changes were inserted into an unrelated bill without a chance for public input, and worry that the changes will discourage young people from joining the profession.
Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has not yet signed the bill, but last week tweeted his support, saying public workers owe "a deep debt of gratitude" to lawmakers who voted to pass it.
During Monday's rally, some teachers, angry at lawmakers who supported the bill, chanted "Vote them out."
Melissa Wash, a first-grade teacher form Gallatin County who has been teaching for 19 years, said she voted for Bevin, but now plans to become a Democrat. To the lawmakers who voted for the pension overhaul, she said: "You better not count on another year in office."

Ponatinib is an anti-cancer drug which has earned some notoriety for its cost (£90,000 per patient per year) and side-effects that were serious enough to temporarily suspend its use. But the findings from a recent Cell Chemistry and Biology paper led by the Structural Genomics Consortium suggest that this 'dirty' drug might actually hold the key for coming up with newer, more effective drugs for chronic illnesses such as Crohn's and Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
The Oxford Science Blog asked the first author, Dr Peter Canning (who worked on this study while at the Nuffield Department of Medicine) to explain what they found.
OxSciBlog: Why were you interested in ponatinib?
Peter Canning: Our main interest was originally in a protein called RIPK2 (pictured above), which has an important role in regulating the body's immune response. When the body is invaded by rogue bacteria, they can be detected by two human proteins, NOD1 and NOD2. But NOD1 and 2 need RIPK2 to pass on a signal that will activate an immune response to fight off the invasion.
This signalling can go wrong in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, and abnormal inflammatory signalling can even be a factor in some kinds of cancer. One potential cause of disease is if the NOD proteins start to signal constantly, even when there are no bacteria around. This then produces a constant signal from RIPK2, which in turn triggers a constant inflammatory response. If we can find ways of inhibiting this signal, we can stop it, and thus treat the disease. So RIPK2 is potentially a very interesting drug target for inflammatory diseases.
OSB: How do you go about finding inhibitors for a protein?
PC: We can use a number of methods, but one of the first screens we try at the Structural Genomics Consortium is to perform a 'thermal shift' experiment: we take the protein of interest, and we heat it.
Proteins are folded into a three dimensional shape, but when they get too hot, they unfold and lose their shape.
Proteins are folded into a three dimensional shape, but when they get too hot, they unfold and lose their shape. We exploit this change by using a dye that sticks to the unfolded protein core, and so it can only do so when the core is exposed. The dye is fluorescent, and you see these beautiful peaks in the fluorescent signal when the protein unfolds.
When we add a protein inhibitor into the mix, it has a stabilizing effect on the protein, so that it unfolds at a higher temperature. So you get an increase in the temperature at which you see a peak in the fluorescent signal.
OSB: So what happened when you added ponatinib to RIPK2 in this experiment?
PC: I've used this method to look for protein inhibitors many times, and the results with ponatinib were the most striking that I have ever seen. In my experience working on protein kinases like RIPK2, a good inhibitor might increase a protein's unfolding temperature by about 10 ˚C.
However, with ponatinib, the melting point of RIPK2 increased by 23 ˚C. So that was immediately interesting.
OSB: Can you tell us a bit more about ponatinib, and how and why it was originally developed?
PC: Ponatinib is based on a drug called imatinib, which I've worked on before. Imatinib inhibits the BCR-ABL protein that causes chronic myelogenous leukaemia (a cancer of white blood cells) and gastrointestinal stromal tumours.
Imatinib was an amazing breakthrough that featured on the cover of Time magazine. It's a striking example of what is called target-based drug design: some clever scientists worked out that the specific fusion of two genes was producing the BCR-ABL fusion protein, and that this fusion protein was then resulting in the development of specific kinds of cancer. So they reasoned that targeting this specific protein would be a great treatment for this kind of cancer. And they turned out to be 100% right!
The problem is that to stop the cancer from coming back, you have to keep taking imatinib for the rest of your life. More or less inevitably, the disease-causing BCR-ABL eventually mutates, developing resistance to imatinib. So imatinib derivatives have now been designed to treat particular kinds of cancer when imatinib has stopped working.
One of these derivatives is ponatinib, which is designed to treat a very specific mutation of BCR-ABL. Its approval was actually retracted for a while, because it causes an increase in blood clots, leading to a greater risk of heart attacks and strokes in the patients taking it. It was then reapproved, but with restrictions on dosage levels and the conditions it can be used for: it's really only for a subset of late-stage cancers.
OSB: How did you use ponatinib in your experiments?
PC: We wanted to solve the 3D structure of the RIPK2 protein to understand more about how it works as well as how drug molecules might bind. This involves using X-ray crystallography to determine the exact 3D arrangement of the atoms that make up the RIPK2 protein.
This is often a difficult challenge, as we first need to induce the protein to form into solid crystals. RIPK2 is a protein kinase, and it can be tricky to induce kinases to form crystals, due to their flexibility. However, if you add an inhibitor so that the protein locks into a particular 3D shape, it can make the protein a lot easier to crystallize.
Once we have grown a protein crystal, we take it to the Diamond Light Source facility, which produces incredibly powerful and fine beams of X-rays. We shine these powerful X-ray beams onto the protein, and that gives us a diffraction pattern of X-rays as they go through the crystal. Then we use computational methods to turn the diffraction pattern back into the structure of the thing that scattered the X-ray in the first place: this kind of X-ray crystallography was used to decode the structure of DNA as well. RIPK2 crystals were particular thin and small, and we were really only able to get our data because the X-rays at the Diamond Light Source are so incredibly focused.
But having ponatinib is what allowed us to stabilise RIPK2 enough for it to crystallize in the first place.
OSB: Why is it important to understand the structure of RIPK2, or any other protein?
PC: Understanding RIPK2's crystal structure not only helps us understand how protein kinases work, but structural information is incredibly useful if you're looking for a drug target. If, for example, we know that an inhibitor locks onto RIPK2 but also several other proteins, we can look for clues in the structure of the proteins to come up with a more specific inhibitor that will affect RIPK2 only, but not others: that is how you make good drugs that have low side-effects.
OSB: What other experiments did you do?
PC: We tried putting ponatinib on isolated human cells to see if it could block their inflammatory response by inhibiting RIPK2. And it turned out that it could.
We also looked at whether other similar drugs might also bind to RIPK2. As we hoped, we found three others that seemed to bind equally well. But when we put these drugs onto cells, we were surprised that only two produced the same potent effect as ponatinib. We don't fully know why that would happen.
One clue was that all the drugs (including ponatinib) that were very effective in cells were so-called 'type II kinase inhibitors': they work by binding to kinases and twisting them out of shape, thus blocking their function. The drug that didn't work as well was a 'type I' inhibitor: it simply blocks up the place where a key molecule (ATP) binds, and this may explain the difference. But we don't know for sure – it's a curious puzzle that we are still investigating!
OSB: Are these drugs potential treatments for inflammatory diseases then?
PC: The most marked effect in our experiments was from ponatinib, but it's pretty unlikely that ponatinib would make for a good treatment. Its side-effects are too severe: inflammatory diseases like inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease are chronic conditions. You'd need to take any treatment for a long time, and so you can't really risk something like increased heart attacks!
But thanks to ponatinib, we know the 3D structure of RIPK2, including its drug binding 'pocket', and this has provided us with some clues for how we might make modified drug molecules so that they target RIPK2 more selectively. With luck, such molecules could potentially provide a treatment for chronic inflammatory diseases in future.

Is it possible to get the symbolname/sectionname for the column if you chose for example a IPE profile? I want to place the name of the section in the detail, and not with a general text fonction.
If you don't know, I created a SmartPart for steel sections. There are 2891 sections in one SmartPart and you can also define your own one based on usual shapes.
So, you are able to display 2D and/or 3D labels. You can also use a Allplan label connected to an attribute. The quantity can be listed in standard reports (e.g. Allplan BCM report). You get the length, the weight and the number of each section in your drawing.

Kansas/
KS Ct. App./
STATE v. SCHULTE
STATE v. SCHULTE (2018)
Court of Appeals of Kansas.
STATE of Kansas, Appellee, v. Bligh Mathew SCHULTE, Appellant.
No. 112,554
Decided: March 02, 2018
Before Hill, P.J., McAnany and Atcheson, JJ. Michael S. Holland II, of Holland and Holland, of Russell, for appellant. Curtis Brown, special prosecutor, of Hays, Kristafer R. Ailslieger, deputy solicitor general, and Derek Schmidt, attorney general, for appellee.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Defendant Bligh Mathew Schulte challenges the Ellis County District Court's ruling denying his motion to suppress the results of a breathalyzer test used to support his conviction for driving under the influence in violation of K.S.A. 2012 Supp. 8-1567. Schulte contends his consent to the testing was impermissibly coerced because of the criminal penalties imposed in K.S.A. 2012 Supp. 8-1025, a statute the Kansas Supreme Court has since held to be unconstitutional. The State counters with dual arguments: (1) The district court's ruling may be affirmed because the arresting officer acted in good-faith reliance on K.S.A. 2012 Supp. 8-1025, thereby overriding the exclusionary rule applied to bar evidence government agents obtain in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution; and (2) the ruling may be affirmed because the breath test was administered as a search incident to Schulte's arrest for driving under the influence.
The district court heard the motion to suppress and the trial of the DUI charge simultaneously based on stipulated facts. The stipulation established that a police officer with the City of Hays stopped Schulte in mid-August 2012 and had probable cause to arrest him for driving under the influence. After his arrest, Schulte took a breathalyzer test that showed his blood-alcohol level to be over the legal limit set in K.S.A. 2012 Supp. 8-1567. The district court denied the motion to suppress, found Schulte guilty, and duly sentenced him. Schulte appealed. The appeal has been held awaiting rulings in Birchfield v. North Dakota, 579 U.S. ––––, 136 S. Ct. 2160, 2185-86, 195 L.Ed. 2d 560 (2016); State v. Ryce, 303 Kan. 899, 368 P.3d 342 (2016) (Ryce I), aff'd on reh'g 306 Kan. 682, 396 P.3d 711 (2017) (Ryce II); and State v. Nece, 303 Kan. 888, 367 P.3d 1260 (2016) (Nece I), aff'd on reh'g 306 Kan. 679, 396 P.3d 709 (2017) (Nece II), and supplemental briefing from the parties on those cases. The Kansas Supreme Court held K.S.A. 2016 Supp. 8-1025 to be unconstitutional in Ryce II, 306 Kan. at 700, reaffirming its pre-Birchfield determination—a conclusion rendering Schulte's consent in this case legally tainted.
In its present factual and legal posture, this case presents precisely the same controlling issues that this court recently addressed in State v. Perkins, 55 Kan. App. 2d ––––, Syl. ¶¶ 5-6 (No. 112,449, this day decided). We find the reasoning and result in Perkins persuasive. We, therefore, affirm the district court's denial of Schulte's motion to suppress because the breathalyzer test was a constitutionally proper warrantless search incident to Schulte's arrest and, alternatively, because the arresting officer relied in good faith on K.S.A. 2012 Supp. 8-1025, before it was declared unconstitutional, to inform Schulte about the legal consequences of declining to take the test. In turn, we affirm Schulte's conviction and sentence.
For the reasons set out in my concurring opinion in State v. Perkins, 55 Kan. App. 2d ––––, slip op. at 14-19 (No. 112,449, decided this day) (Atcheson, J., concurring), I would affirm the Ellis County District Court's ruling on the motion to suppress based solely on the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule applicable to violations of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. That alone is sufficient to uphold the district court in all respects.

TEG Live announces THE TEA PARTY to collaborate with Sydney Youth Orchestras for one very special evening
TEG Live has announced that Canadian trio The Tea Party will be in full flight with a Symphony Orchestra in an exclusive Sydney show next year.
The Tea Party will collaborate with the Sydney Youth Orchestras in a majestic performance on Friday 21 April 21 2017 at The Star Events Centre.
Australia began its love affair with The Tea Party in 1995. The band's second album, The Edges of Twilight, became their first top 10 album in the country thanks to the incredible support of fans and Triple J.
In 2002, The Tea Party toured Canada with a full Symphony Orchestra following the release of their Interzone Mantras album (whilst also touring Australia 3 times that year alone!). The Orchestral Show has not been performed outside of Canada since 2002, and is being updated from its Canadian origins to incorporate a broad range of bombastic, epic hits and fan favourites, from across the band's impressive career.
Since its inception, the band has relied heavily on the use of Middle Eastern instruments to provide a unique twist to their hard rock style. Instruments such as Oud, Sitar, Qanoun, Hurdy Gurdy, Theremin, Rabob, Tabla and many unusual and rarely seen percussive instruments feature heavily through their catalogue, and many of these will feature in this unique performance.
A full Symphony will lend a dramatic turn to these songs with spectacular arrangements, and the band is thrilled to work with this world-renowned orchestra.
"Seeing the response from our Australian fans when we announced the Melbourne show, I think we all knew that we couldn't stop at just one performance. Having the opportunity to play with both the SYO and MSO is such an honour. This is one of the coolest things we've ever been able to do as a band."
Jeff Burrows, Drummer, The Tea Party
Incredibly, this will be The Tea Party's sixteenth tour of Australia since 1993.
The three founding members of the band, Jeff Martin, Jeff Burrows and Stuart Chatwood are looking forward to sharing this special experience with their Australian fans.
"Knowing that we haven't done a show of this magnitude since 2002, bringing this to our Australian fans is the most rewarding feeling we could ask for. To have a chance to play these songs with such a powerful orchestra behind us, honestly, gives us all goose bumps." Burrows said.
The seeds were first sown for a Symphonic collaboration when the band debuted its then new single Psychopomp in 1997 on Canada's Much Music and performed live with a small string section – view here:
Sydney has been home to some of the most dedicated Tea Party fans in Australia, with the band releasing a live DVD/Blu-ray commemorating their reunion tour at a sold out Hordern Pavilion show in 2012.
Based on the demand for tickets in Melbourne, tickets for The Tea Party and Sydney Youth Orchestras in this unique setting will sell fast. Guaranteed one night only – fans are encouraged to move quickly to secure their tickets. VIP ticketing, including meet and greet packages will be available for sale.
Tickets go on sale to the general public 10am Thursday 15 December 2016 through www.ticketek.com.au.
The Tea Party fans on Facebook, as well as members and friends of Sydney Youth Orchestras, are able to access a special pre-sale between 9am local time Tuesday 13 December and 5pm Wednesday 14 December. Follow both on Facebook for details and links to the pre-sale.

My gardens are on a suburban lot in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC (Tangled Branches North), and since 2007, on a rural property in central Virginia (Tangled Branches South).

Breaking Down the Communication Barrier: Learn principles & strategies to breakdown communication barriers, overcome resistance and resolve conflict!
Even though communication is the lifeblood of any organization, it's almost impossible to find a company, department or team that doesn't have a communication breakdown or barrier at one time or another.
And poor workplace communication leads to more than just individual frustration. It causes conflict; it contributes to low morale; it makes finishing even the easiest of tasks difficult – which ultimately leads to decreased productivity, lower results and diminished success.
You have trouble working with or communicating with people in other departments.
Employees feel isolated or disconnected and team morale is low.
Performance isn't where it should be or turnover is high and you're not sure how to have that difficult conversation about how to fix it.
You find yourself saying, this is more difficult than it needs to be. Or maybe, they're not hearing what I'm telling them.
Yep. Your communications aren't communicating what you intended.
In this audio presentation, I will reveal the principles and strategies that you need to open up communication, break down the barriers and improve your work environment. With clear communication, you'll eliminate negative attitudes, improve relationships, increase job satisfaction and measurably impact productivity. Because when people are free from conflict and confusion, they can focus on what's really important.

What It Was Like to Work at Popeyes During the Chicken Sandwich Frenzy
September 26, 2019 |Tony Pierce|67
The winners of 'The Chicken Wars' are clearly the chains themselves, but how have the employees on the frontlines fared as the popular dish readies for a return?
There have been car accidents, people jumping over counters, angry men banging on the windows, food being tossed through drive-thru windows, 90-minute line-ups, countless Uber Eats cancellations, weeks with no days off and phones that are still ringing and ringing and ringing. The question on the other end of the line is always the same: is that chicken sandwich back?
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen employees have had a tough summer thanks to the most popular new fast food item in recent memory. Their crispy fried chicken sandwich was only available for a few weeks last month across its 3,000+ U.S. locations but that was enough time to seduce a salivating country — and L.A. was no exception.
The chain, which is actually based in Florida, had completely remade its previous incarnation of the chicken sandwich. The result caused The New Yorker to practically moan in ecstasy as they described the driving force behind the lines and the ringing phones.
The bun is "buttery and sweet and light," the magazine says. The pickles are "sizable rounds of cucumber crisp with vinegar." At its center is an "exquisite slab of chicken breast, heft and juicy and snow-white, in its crenelated armor of that uncommonly crisp fried batter." Combined, the concoction "sticks the landing on the most important element of a fast-food sandwich: the fusion of its distinct components into an ineffable, irresistible gestalt. The salt, the fat, the sharpness, the softness — together, they're what flavor scientists might describe as 'high amplitude,' a combination so intense, and so perfectly balanced, that they meld into one another to form a new, entirely coherent whole."
This creation was perceived as a volley in what would be deemed The Chicken Sandwich War versus the Chick-fil-A sandwich. But a manager at the Georgia-based fast-food spot said she hadn't noticed an uptick in sales at her Hollywood location either during Popeyes peak or once it had sold out. She said business was steady before and has remained busy since the "war" at the former Carls Jr. Jr. on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue.
The popular chicken sandwich continues to be sold out all over L.A. Photo by Tony Pierce.
During the madness that began in the middle of August, Popeyes restaurants around L.A. felt the crunch.
Customers lined up an hour before the store opened at the Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard location. Businesses were ordering a day in advance from the Hollywood Boulevard location. On La Brea Avenue, south of the 10, two endless rows of cars inched their way toward one drive-thru window while the lobby inside was packed despite the $4 sandwiches being sold out that night.
"It's so tasty — and people weren't ordering one. They were ordering 50, 100," says Denny Morales, general manager of the Hollywood and Cahuenga Boulevards restaurant. "Office people would come in and they would order 100 at a time, and they would order a day before. We were thinking we would sell between 80 and 100 a day. We were selling between 800 and 1,000 a day."
Morales said that to appease the long lines of hungry, but patient, customers she handed out licorice for the kids and cups of water.

The one person the affable manager couldn't comfort was the psychic next door, irritated by the long line stretching out past her business.
"I told her she should have seen this coming. She should have given us a warning," Morales says in her now more manageable lobby, which is still bustling, where the phone can be heard ringing as prospective customers ask when the item will return.
So why the delay? How can a chicken joint sell out of a chicken breast sandwich, when fried chicken breasts are right there under heat lamps stacked high and ready to be devoured? Did they run out of bread? Pickles? Hot sauce?
"The chicken fillets are boneless," Morales says, differentiating the bone-in breasts currently available with the boneless ones for the sandwich. Also, they use a unique flour batter for this sandwich that they don't use for any other product, as well as a special sauce that's equal parts spicy and tangy.
"We could fake it," she says, but neither the texture nor the taste would match what the nation is clamoring for. They would immediately spot the fried fraud.
To meet the insatiable demand, her store and others around L.A. asked their crews to work double shifts, managers worked 70-80 hour weeks and a few locations really felt the pressure when a handful of their employees chickened out and quit in the midst of the mayhem.
Just as quickly, though, right as the sandwich became a hit, the chain ran out. At first, hand-written sold-out signs appeared on front doors and drive-thrus. They are now replaced by corporate signage that dot the windows and overhead menus.
And yet, even without the 690-calorie wonder sales are up, in part by those who poke their head in to see if the sandwich has come back, who upon hearing the bad news order a few pieces of this and that as a consolation while they're there.
"Now that it's a lot less busy," Morales says, "either we got extremely fast, or we adapted to that high traffic that now it feels so dead. And I look at the numbers and I say 'guys, it's not dead.'"
Western Avenue & Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
Over two decades ago, Chris Rock had a joke about Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard: "If a friend calls you on the telephone and says they're lost on Martin Luther King Boulevard and they want to know what they should do, the best response is 'Run!'"
But if you go into the Popeyes on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, not far from USC, you'll notice how large and clean it is. There are decorative spices and knickknacks in glass jars. Upbeat Dixieland brass band music booming through the hidden overhead speakers into the lobby. Lots of sun shining through the large, clean windows. Not at all the stereotype Rock described.
Sure, there's a belligerent homeless woman yammering to herself, digging through the trash until she retrieves a few uneaten morsels of food, but that can be seen in most of L.A. When the store's general manager, Elena Barrieiro, sternly tells her she's not allowed to do that, the woman hisses at her and exits the restaurant with the leftovers.
Barrieiro has seen it all at this location, or so she thought, until that sandwich arrived.

Like most managers, she tasted the new creation before it was introduced to the public. She thought it was good, but she had no idea what it would do to her store, the employees, the customers and her life.
"When we tried the sandwich in training it was really good," Barrieiro says, "but we didn't expect it to go crazy."
She says one reason for the delay of the return of the sandwich is so stores like hers can hire more crew members, train them properly, plan where they will house the extra racks of fresh buns and really prepare for the probable storm that will hit them again.
Unlike the Hollywood location, the King store lost some of its employees who just couldn't handle the pressure. That added more stress to the remaining cooks and cashiers who worked doubles and collected overtime, but were beat from the lines that stretched around the block.
The drive-thru reminds customers that the popular Popeyes sandwich will "be back soon." Photo by Tony Pierce.
This is also the location where angry customers banged on the glass, threw trash through the drive-thru window, and where the car accidents occurred. While it's great to be getting OT, that's based on a minimum wage salary. Is it worth it?
Hector Amador, who grew up a few blocks from the Popeyes that he's now a cashier at, says it was hectic, but exciting.
"I'd check my phone," he says, "I'm supposed to leave at 5 o'clock. I'd check my phone, it's 5:30. I be like, damn, I should have been home. Time goes by so fast."
During the busiest weeks last month, Amador's shift started at 4 p.m and ended at 2 a.m. This location is open until 4 a.m.
"You know the crazy thing about it? Four in the morning and there'd still be people trying to eat some chicken," he says. "On a weeknight."
His positive spirit was common among the staff and managers at various locations. Barrieiro worked 14 days straight, put in 12-hour days and had an hour commute each way to run a store where she regularly had to call the strip mall's security and manage the difficulties of having the hottest hot chicken item in town. All of this while trying to juggle schedules, answering the phones (which are still ringing) and figuring out where to house 40 racks of buns as a lobby full of angry customers and impatient Postmates drivers stared her down.
"It was kinda hard," she finally admits, but she quickly bounces back. "When you have to, you have to. I'm the store manager and that's what we have to do. When you don't have enough people, you have to do it yourself."
Because she is on salary, she gets no overtime for her efforts but is hoping she will get a bonus – which is common for the franchise owners to bestow upon management.
While the Hollywood location hinted at mid- or late-October for the sandwich's return, Barrieiro only says November. Perhaps some stores will get it early, she says.
And that's when she says the most startling thing.
She heard that the restaurant on Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard, just a few miles south, had acquired some of the elusive sandwiches. And they were selling them.
And like Chris Rock advised, this reporter ran from MLK Jr. Boulevard.
Slauson Avenue & Crenshaw Boulevard
Fox News blares inside the Popeyes on Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard. Photo by Tony Pierce.
There's a lot to take in at the Popeyes on Slauson Avenue. The first thing you might notice as you approach it is that it's located a block away from where rapper Nipsey Hustle was murdered in front of his shop, The Marathon Clothing. Another thing that greets you is a flat-screen TV on the north wall, which on Tuesday was airing Fox News. Not exactly what one would expect in a predominantly black neighborhood fried chicken joint.
The two general managers laughed when it was pointed out and explained that they often have the news or sports running on the TV and hadn't thought about which network was on. They are far too busy to notice, and none of their customers complained.
Another thing you notice is here the phones aren't ringing. Perhaps, in part, because it was true: the crispy chicken sandwich was there. And apparently off-menu, for the store's best (and luckiest) regulars.
Enrique Cabrera has been running the place for 25 years. Some of his customers have grown up in front of his eyes and are now parents themselves. He boasts that he can easily spot new guests in an instant. The only time he says there was trouble at the store wasn't during the sandwich frenzy, it was on the night that Hustle was slain. The anger and sadness over the tragic death of the neighborhood hero spilled into his lobby that night in March.
The emotional crowd struggled with their feelings and Cabrera and his co-General Manager Kulwinder Singh, struggled with removing those who had smuggled bottles of alcohol into the premises. Activity they say never happens there.

Cabrera, who proudly states the store has no problems with anyone, admitted that that night there was an air of disrespect that he'd never seen before. But it only lasted that night.
When it came to the chicken sandwich spike, however, the only flare-up Cabrera could recollect was one woman who got ticked off when she received too many pickles. Other than that, it was non-stop feeding of the masses.
"Man, you have no idea," he says. "Big ol' lines in the drive-thru and big ol' lines in the lobby. The first week they were waiting about an hour and 30 minutes."
But were they satisfied?
"They were so crazy about it. They enjoyed that sandwich and they'd come back. They'd keep coming back," Cabrera says, smiling. "We open at 10 a.m. There was a line at 9 a.m. They just wanted to taste the sandwich. Once they taste the sandwich they want to come back for more. Most people don't get one. They get 15, 18, four, five."
Cabrera explains that Popeyes have had chicken sandwiches before, but he says it's the spicy sauce that he thinks people are connecting with.
As Fox News yammered above our booth, the "$3.99 Question" arose.
The same question that Popeyes after Popeyes is asked via phone, squawk box and in-person.
Do you really have the sandwich?
The food item that started the Chicken Wars. Photo by Tony Pierce.
"I was the one of the lucky ones," Cabrera says. "I saw there was some product, so I ordered some. So they sent it to me."
An accident?
"I think so," he says.
Out of equal parts professional curiosity, due diligence and hunger, an order for the now almost-mythical meal was placed. Cabrera called out to his co-manager, who reached into the nearby cooler and emerged with the battered breast. As payment was made, the sandwich was prepared, and soon this reporter experienced the delight others had mentioned on social media and elsewhere. The generous slathering of spicy sauce was key. The bread was fresh.
The chicken was magically crispy and moist.
In this chicken sandwich war, one side has not yet begun to really fight.
