BAE-B-SAFE Gears Up for Round Three!
Wrapping up year two with the Competitive PREP project, BAE-B-SAFE is gearing up this month to begin year three at the Alamo College campuses this Fall.
In addition, BAE-B-SAFE was able to engage with more than 5,000 students across all campuses through campus events and presentations.
For the next few weeks, our BAE-B-SAFE team will be preparing to take their biggest strides in making their mark at San Antonio College, St. Philip's College, and Palo Alto College. In addition to providing evidence-based programs about reproductive health information, BAE-B-SAFE's goal is to become an even greater resource for referrals to healthcare providers in the communities surrounding the campuses.
The BAE-B-SAFE team can't wait to roll out its line-up of fun-filled events and enriching programs for each campus and its students. In this last year of the grant, the project hopes to increase referrals and linkages to clinics, increase participation, and secure a plan to sustain all the great work that's be done to learn about the attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs of college-aged youth in community colleges.
Follow BAE-B-SAFE on Instagram @hftx_baebsafe and on Facebook @hftxBAEBSAFE to keep up with all this fall's activities.


While many of Nigeria's 36 states heaved some sigh of relief over the second tranche of Paris Club refund paid to them on 18 July, for Benue State the money was too little to rescue it from its financial quagmire.
The state in central Nigeria needs N7.8 billion to meets its monthly wage bill and it is vastly in arrears to meet the obligation. On Wednesday, it got just N6.4billion from the Federal Government.
Though the state said 90 per cent of the money received would be used to pay arrears of salaries, it is crystal clear that it will not solve its problem.
It was thus not surprising when Mr Terver Akase, Chief Press Secretary to the Benue governor, stated in Makurdi, the state capital, that what came to the state was "far below" what it was expecting.
"Actually, we expected N12 billion. But we shall try to use the N6.4 billion prudently," he said.
Akase said that the inability to pay salaries promptly was not deliberate.
"We have not been able to pay salaries because of the paucity of funds.
"The federal allocation and the internally generated revenue, put together, cannot meet the monthly wage bill of N7.8 billion. It is indeed a bad situation, but we are trying to navigate it," he said.


"very fun. What a crowd!!"
"You guys Rocked!! It was awesome to see you guys rock!!"
"Great seein you guys at Summerfest!"
"FINALLY! you guys came back to Summmerfest! =) Yes it was raining but once the Pie came out the clouds dissapeared! Great show guys. thx"
"Got to see ya twice in one week, momentus occasion and you did not disappoint. I was so happy to see ya all on the bigger venue. You guys so deserve it. As the nite fell, the rain stopped, you guys jammed under the stage lights. I could of listened all nite. I would have stood there in the pouring rain. Frankie, you are rockstar. John, you really know how to move the crowd, especially in those leather pants. Great solos Dave."
"Besides Frankie lighting up his drums last year - this was your best show. So awesome - you definately made the end of my vacation perfect. See ya at the gym Frankie!"
"Great to be with you all at the Summerfest. Finally heard the new songs and loved them. What a wild crowd. See you soon."
"summerfest was the first time i saw you and heard about you but you rocked the stage and im now a fan forever!!!!"
"I worked security for Summerfest at the M&I stage. You guys by far were the best."

Snapchat Spectacles 3: More Than Twice the Price, for What?
By Henry T. Casey published 13 August 19
The smart glasses are back with a more premium design and 3D video for augmented reality

Third time's the charm, or at least that's what Snapchat hopes.
Yes, Spectacles, Snapchat's wearable glasses with cameras built into them are back, and wow they're expensive. This new pair is available for pre-order now and costs $380, more than twice the $150 that Spectacles 2 sold for.
And why does Snapchat think this price will be a good fit? Well, for starters, they do look cooler than either of their predecessors (which isn't hard to do).
Spectacles 3 Design
According to Vogue, which got the exclusive first hands-on with the specs, they're made of a "lightweight stainless steel" material. This is a giant leap forward from the translucent plastic of previous editions, plus they've got a mix of sharp 90-degree edges and curves that make them look like a statement, rather than an embarrassment.
Spectacles 3 will be sold in two colorways: rose gold Mineral and black Carbon. Snapchat's also promoting two new designs for its waterproof Spectacles 2: a blockier Nico and an oversized Veronica. The Spectacles 3 also come with a full-grain leather charging case.
Spectacles 3 Dual Cameras: Now with 3D Video
Thanks to a second HD camera, the Spectacles 3 offer a new feature: 3D video. Built to work with Snapchat's 3D effects, Spectacles 3's dual cameras provide a depth of field, meant for use with Snapchat's AR features, which have long been the missing element in Spectacles. In a tweet promoting Spectacles 3, we see AR elements, such as flying birds and hearts, moving around the subjects of the video.
Introducing Spectacles 3. A new way to capture your world in 3D. #SnapchatSpectacles. https://t.co/k21x6aacZs pic.twitter.com/mQVT6mVNqXAugust 13, 2019
Battery Life and Storage
In terms of battery life, The Verge reports that you'll be able to capture 70 videos and more than 200 photos on a charge. You recharge the glasses by storing them in the included charging case, and a full charge will take 75 minutes. You recharge the case with a USB-cable.
There's 4GB of storage on board, which can hold up to 100 videos or 1,200 photos.
What's missing (and what needs to be fixed)
There is one thing the Spectacles 3 is missing: water resistance. While Spectacles 2 could survive a splash or two, and were marketed for summertime fun, this new model has no IPX rating and looks a bit more fragile.
If you don't remember Spectacles 2, my review praised Snapchat for adding water resistance, improving video quality and improving upload time. Hopefully, this new pair will fix that model's problems, including an egregiously complicated posting process.
Catering to a more affluent crowd
Snapchat's apparently trying to recreate the scarcity that pushed Gen. 1 Spectacles to be a hot item. The company states in its press release that it will be doing a "more limited production run," that is "only a fraction of the total Specs 1 we announced had sold as of last April."
By moving to a higher end market, Snapchat only needs a fraction of its 203 million daily users to step up to make this a sell-out product. But there's no guarantee shoppers will bite. If they don't, the company may have to write off millions of dollars (again) on unsold pairs.

DICK YARBROUGH: Every day is Senior Citizens Day
By Dick Yarbrough dick@dickyarbrough.com
There won't be any parades, barbecues or long-winded speeches by gasbag politicians today, but this is a special day, nonetheless. This is Senior Citizens Day. Can I get an amen?
It was created, fittingly, by a senior citizen named Ronald Reagan, who thought we old codgers deserve some recognition for having "been there, done that" and having survived to tell about it.
And we have a lot to tell. It is just that today's loud-talking, self-absorbed, technology-obsessed millennials or Generation-Whatevers don't seem interested in listening — unless there is an app for that.
I think what we seniors deserve most is respect. We've earned it. Most of us have worked hard, raised a family, paid our bills on time, respected our flag and loved the nation for which it stands, and worshiped a God in which we believe. Nothing particularly heroic. We just did it. For some reason, we haven't been able to carry it forward.
Lest I sound like we old-timers are swaddled in blankets and drooling our oatmeal, a lot of us still have some fuel in the tank. Despite a near-death experience that has left me with a pair of gimpy knees (it could have been worse), I am in my 21st year as a syndicated newspaper columnist in Georgia. Though I consider the Marietta Daily Journal my home, I appeared in 36 papers last week. As of this writing, that number is now 37, thanks to a new addition in south Georgia yesterday.
All of this after a satisfying career at BellSouth Corporation and four surreal years at the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games.
While the deadlines are demanding and ever-present, this senior citizen thoroughly enjoys the opportunity to prick the oversized egos of intrepid public servants of both parties, extol the virtues of my beloved alma mater, the University of Georgia, unapologetically defend public education from those critics who couldn't carry a schoolteacher's book bag and to loathe those who rant on social media anonymously.
I took up art a few years ago and discovered to my amazement that I can paint a lick (thanks in large part to Marietta artist and instructor Kris Meadows, who is both demanding and encouraging). I have one painting hanging at the state Capitol, one at the College of Coastal Georgia, a few in private collections and more paintings of Cameron Charles Yarbrough — who gives meaning to the term "great" as in great-grandchild — than I can count.
I maintain a regular speaking schedule around the state and serve as a member of the State Board of Juvenile Justice. I wouldn't know retirement if it hit me in the fanny.
All of this to say that there is no age limit on what we can accomplish if we chose to do so. At the age of 80, actress Jessica Tandy won an Oscar, as did George Burns. George Bernard Shaw received his Oscar for Best Screenplay ("Pygmalion") at the age of 82, making him the only person to ever win an Academy Award and a Nobel Prize. Speaking of the Nobel Prize, 81-year-old Barbara McClintock won the Nobel Prize for physics and Francis Peyton Rous won the Nobel Prize for chemistry. He was 87.
Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright finished his design for the iconic Guggenheim Museum in New York at the age of 89. That was the same age as jazz great Eubie Blake when he started his own publishing and recording company. Famed conductor Leopold Stokowski signed a six-year recording contract when he was 94.
Strom Thurman was re-elected to the U.S. Senate from South Carolina at 93. Former President George H.W. Bush went skydiving on his 90th birthday.
I could go on, but you get my point. Age is chronological but it is also a state of mind. We are as old as our attitude and what we are willing to dream. I have written about the New Horizons Band here in Cobb County, a group of seniors making beautiful music. And there are many seniors actively involved in the community serving meals, mentoring students, teaching classes, providing transportation and generally making life better for those in need.
For many of us seniors, our income is limited to our pensions and/or Social Security and/or what amounts we might have saved. That's it. That's all. Every year, our cost of living seems to creep up. Cobb County School Board member Jaha Howard has talked about imposing school taxes on seniors. I met Howard after a recent civic club speech. We had a brief but pleasant conversation. The subject of a school tax on seniors did not come up. If we do have another chat, I am going to suggest that he talk — and listen — to Cobb senior citizens before raising that issue again. We have earned that right.
In the meantime, you can probably tell that this senior citizen is having a ball. To me, every day is Senior Citizens Day, gimpy knees and all.

Home Consciousness 10 Most Fascinating Facts About Dreams
10 Most Fascinating Facts About Dreams
consciousreminder
You standing alone in the dark, stormy night and your heart is pumping like a drum. A murderer is following you in a black coat and you are his next victim. When your body is shivering and you hardly can walk, you still running for the life. Then suddenly…you wake up.
This is one of the most common dream seen all over the world. Dreams and questions associated with it have always been a mystery from the beginning. Why we dreams? What they mean? The list of questions is long, but the answers are blurred.
The following are the 10 most fascinating facts about dreams:
10. Blind People Dream
We see faces and objects in our dreams. But those who are blind by birth know nothing about images and colors. Yet, they see auditory dreams. They listen sound, recognize odor, and feel vibrations in their dreams. Those who become blind later in life, though, see images. Moreover, a Danish study shows that blind people have more nightmares than sighted people.
9. We Forget 90% of Our Dreams
We spend nearly one-third of our life asleep, and unfortunately we couldn't remember most of it. About 95% of our dreams forgotten as we gets out of bed. Though we most likely to remember our dreams if awakened out of REM sleep as compared to full night sleep, but that doesn't explain the whole story. A study in the Journal of Adolescent health in 2011 showed that adolescent girls were more likely to remember dreams as compared to their male counterparts.
8. We only dream of what we know
We see strange faces in our dreams. About 48% of people in our dream are unknown to us. But are they really strange and our brain is creating those faces? No, they are real faces and we've seen those faces somewhere in our life. May be the man, who were trying to kill you in your last dream, met you in grocery store when you were a child.
7. Few people dream in black and white
Though most of us see dreams in color, but there are some percentage of people who claims that they dream without colors. They see dreams in black and white. When they have been asked, right after awakened from dream, to select color from a chart, they frequently selected soft pastel. A 2008 study at University of Dundee found that people who only exposed to black and white television in childhood are more likely to see dreams in black and white.
6. Lucid dreams
Imagine you decide where to go, whom to meet, and what to do in your dreams. For some people this imagination is possible and they do it all the time. There is a whole community of people who claims that they have mastery in dreaming, and have abilities to control their dreams completely. They use different techniques to learn controlling their dreams and can do unbelievable things like flying, passing through walls, traveling to different dimensions and even back in time. They are lucid dreamers.
5. Inventions inspired by dreams
Dreams have always been inspiration for writers. But some dreams inspired for the discoveries and inventions.
One dream inspired Madame C.J. Walker to invent hair products that made her the first female American self-made millionaire. Elias Howe invented the sewing machine inspired from one of his dream. Some other discoveries are;
The idea of Google – Larry page
Alternating current generator – Tesla
DNA's double helix spiral form – James Watson
Periodic table – Dimitri Mendeleyev
4. Premonition dreams
Premonition dreams are to see the glitch of future. There are many cases where people claim they saw some event prior to its occurrence in their dream. You can say it is a coincidence but they claim that the things happened exactly in a same way that they saw in their dreams. Some of the famous premonition dreams are:
Abraham Lincoln dreamt of his assassination.
19 verified precognitive dreams about the Titanic catastrophe.
Mark Twain's dream of his brother's demise.
Many of the victims of 9/11 had dreams warning them about the catastrophe.
3. DMT (A Dream drug)
Some people have such addiction to dreams so that they create them artificially by using a drug known as DMT. "DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) is a chemical created in trace amounts by the pineal gland during normal metabolism, and may be released in massive amounts during birth, death, hallucinations and dreams" says Dr. Rick Strassman. It is illegal and most wanted psychedelic drug which is rare to acquire. In an experiment with this intense psychoactive compound between 1990-1995, Dr. Strassman found some subjects experienced alien abduction, mystical, religious and saw things which was not there.
2. Dreaming can help you learn
Remember the movie "The Matrix" where Neo got all his training through dreams. To learn things while dreaming may sound fictional, but it is not. A study found that dreaming about a task we've learned is associated with improved performance in that activity. In an experiment in 2010, 99 participants were asked to navigate virtual maze on a computer screen. Half of them then allowed to sleep after the task and half were not allowed. That study found students who dreamed about a computer maze task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement compared to participants who didn't dream.
1. Men vs Women Dreams
Despite there are some common dreams, they varied depending on gender. A women's dream world is different than a men's dream world. Women tend to see more frequent and nightmares than men, and more likely to remember their dreams as compared to men. When 67% characters of men's dream are other men, 48% characters in women's dream are other women. When men often dream about aggressive encounters with other men, women more often dream about family and familiar surroundings.

Oh wait, you mean I don't go directly to my Instagram feed for daily inspo? Sure, I do that, but I'm actually pretty zen (hah!) and see inspiration all around me! It's the tiniest things that sometimes mean the most. Like finding a penny in the parking lot. That penny was put there for me to find. I truly believe that. Maybe it's a date of something I'm meant to remember. Maybe the 2 seconds in which I bent down to pick it up saved me from getting in an accident. The fact is, I totally paused, and noticed. That penny might give me the next billion $ idea.
Divine influence, especially that supposed to have led to the writing of the Bible.
Back to Insta/IG, seriously, what are the cool kids calling it? Instagram has actually made me notice even more tiny works of art and great marketing signs all around. When I see some amazing photo op, obviously I want to share it as much as possible, via social media! I genuinely like to put it out there and get a person moving on that soul train. It's like paying it forward but with sharing kindness. Oh god, that took a turn down Rainbows and Puppy Dogs Alley.
I'm always looking to get into peak state. (Shout out to Tony! Hit the link. More on that later. I'm obsessed.) I want to be excited about life and feel good about it. It's simple, but not easy. I still have to choose to work on it every day. It's not something that comes naturally to most of us; I've just trained myself to look for it.
Now please, take some of my favorite ways into consideration.
Take a different route to work tomorrow! No doubt you'll see something amusing.
Today I used my GPS to go a new way to my friend's house. I got to drive through a scenic route that I didn't know existed and was surrounded by gorgeous tree-lined streets. I know, I know, I'm wonderful. I took the road less traveled. Please call me Whitney Frost.
I just watched The Pursuit of Happyness and now think I can be a stock broker.
I've heard countless quotables that I write down on sticky notes. Sometimes I throw them in my purse or stick them to the back of my phone. I've even written phrases on my hand, like a high school kid, if it's something I want to remember.
Get out there. Find something that inspires you in your daily routine. It's there. Stop and look around.

Johannes Unger, born in 1976 in Schlema, East Germany, was marked in his early life by his musical parents. He received a complete musical training at the Special School for Music in Halle, which he then continued at the Academy for Music and Theatre »Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy« in Leipzig. He studied organ with Ullrich Böhme, organist of St Thomas Leipzig, and piano with Markus Tomas. He continued his studies in the solo class of Hans Fagius at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen until 2001. Furthermore he attended master classes conducted by Emanuel Ax, Christian Zacharias, Robert Levin and Ewald Kooiman.
Being the youngest participant, Johannes Unger won the First Prize in the renowned International Organ Competitions in Odense, Denmark, in 1998. In the Bach year 2000 he won the 12th International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in Leipzig, along with the audience prize and numerous special prizes. In 2001 he won the First Prize in the 21st International Organ Festival St Albans interpretation competition.
He has performed in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Hungary, France, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.A. (represented by Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists). He was invited to perform at famous festivals (Leipzig, Eisenach, Frankfurt, Chartres, Monaco, and Haarlem).
Together with the pianist Christian Meinel he has dedicated himself to piano duets. First Prizes in the »Youth plays music« competitions, numerous recitals, and a CD production testify to this successful collaboration. His first solo CD, released in 2001, was recorded on the Silbermann organ in Rötha, near Leipzig.
Furthermore, Johannes Unger is leader of the Steering Committee for the rebuilding of the large organ in St Peter's church in Leipzig. He supports the series »Organ-Point-Twelve« on the Jahn organ in St Peter's. This organ was previously in the University Church and was saved just before the church was blown up in 1968.
2003—2009, Johannes Unger has been assistant organist at St Thomas church Leipzig. By July 2009 he is organist at St Mary's of Lübeck.


He has high blood. He doesn't like to take maintenance medicine for high blood. His option is to try supplements that can help him with his headache. Eximius Oil was able to help him. He's buying more, and plans to make his mother take Eximius Oil too. Here's what my buyer told me, translated to English (roughly translated).
"Last November, I had a check-up. The result is high blood. I plan to give to my mother, a senior citizen. That's why I have a headache. Before I take it (Eximius Oil). The headache is lessen, then then dizziness is lessen too. I do sleep late at night. I would like mother to try this."
If you know anyone who needs support on their help, do refer this product to them.

Our new home…22 Carlisle Street. It certainly feels like we are living a dream! Our new studio is everything I could have hoped for and more. The past eight weeks have felt like a whirlwind between moving, renovating and unpacking (there are still so many boxes to go through!). Our new studio is possible because of so many wonderful people and businesses who helped us create such a gorgeous space that we will continue to grow in to!
With our new studio comes new programs of course! Adding these new programs is especially important to me, because they are completing the vision I had for my company so many years ago. It is hard to imagine we have entered our sixth year. In some ways it feels like yesterday and in others it feels like a life time ago.
How did you design your space?
We completely re-did the space and went from there. Since the building was previously a bank, it is certainly built to last (which is wonderful, but had its challenges when renovating!). I wanted the space to feel open and modern. While I still have a lot of decorating and finishing touches to do – the most important part of the design was the colors! Utilizing the PATABS and The Vault blue and building off of the existing grey tones. We went through 55 gallons of paint…I painted every single wall and I am quite content not painting again for a while!
What is your favorite thing about the new studio?
There are SO MANY wonderful things about our new studio – from the lobby to the locker room (who else gets to have their locker room in a VAULT?!) to having four beautiful studios and my own office!! I truly love everything about the space and I am so glad that our design, layout and function have all come together to create such a beautiful space for our students to continue to grow.
What was the hardest part about all of this?
Honestly, I would have to say hoping it would all come together as planned! There were so many moving parts of the renovations and seeing it come together cohesively was a huge relief. I have never overseen a renovation or massive project – it was extremely rewarding and extremely stressful (especially making it all happen in eight weeks over the holiday season!). I am very thankful we are done and I am looking forward to the finishing touches!
This is truly a hard question to answer! We have already begun to launch many new programs and expand current programs. We have so many ideas and so many programs to begin, that I cannot wait. All I can say is that the best has yet to come. However, no matter where our program goes, it will always be about giving our students the best dance, music and musical theatre environment there is!
If you have yet to see our new space, please feel free to come in! We hope that each and every one of our families and future families will love our space and program as much as we do!


If you are planning a trip with your church group, the Grand Strand is a great location. Besides the natural beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, there are so many activities that there is sure to be something appealing to every member of your group.
A vacation rental also offers a more affordable option to hotel rooms and allows the group an opportunity to bond together instead of being separated in individual rooms. We have homes with large kitchen and dining areas, game rooms and large living areas which will allow room for the group to come together in a private space rather than a noisy public meeting area in a hotel.
Elliott Beach Rentals has served the North Myrtle Beach community and the beach's visitors since 1959. Now being run by the second generation of the Elliott family, our company strongly believes in providing unparalleled customer service. From the moment you start making plans for your Church Retreat to the day your group checks out of your North Myrtle Beach oceanfront condominium, Myrtle Beach golf course townhouse or oceanfront beach house with a private swimming pool, Elliott Beach Rentals is here for you!
Call on Elliott Beach Rentals to book your next Retreat. We will work with you to find the best property at the best price.

Community voices sought for input on public education plans
Since April, HIDOE and BOE has engaged the community as it reviews its joint Strategic Plan. BOE members have hosted meetings in Waimea (Hawaii Island) and Wailuku, and the public has more opportunities to provide feedback at upcoming community meetings on Oahu, Kauai and Molokai.

Since April, the Hawaii State Department of Education (HIDOE) and Board of Education's (BOE) has engaged the community as it reviews its joint Strategic Plan. BOE members have hosted meetings in Waimea (Hawaii Island) and Wailuku, and the public has more opportunities to provide feedback at upcoming community meetings on Oahu, Kauai and Molokai.
"It is important for us to dialogue with members of all sectors of our communities as we work on strategies towards achieving student success," said Superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi. "Education affects all of us, that's why we appreciate the public input provided so far and urge others to attend the few meetings we have left before finalizing plans that will set the direction for public education in the upcoming years."
The public has the remaining opportunities to lend their voice at the following community meetings:
Aug. 22: Kailua High School College and Career Center, 451 Ulumanu Drive
Aug. 31: Manoa Public Library, 2716 Woodlawn Drive
Sept. 1: Kaunakakai Elementary School, 30 Ailoa Street
Sept. 14: Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School, 4431 Nuhou Street
Sept. 15: Waianae Public Library, 85-625 Farrington Highway
All meetings will be held from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m.
Storyline Consulting, a third-party facilitator, brought in to ensure the objective report of community input, reported on the first phase of HIDOE's community outreach, which included 108 focus groups on six islands and 1,429 online survey responses. The Phase I report noted the following emerging themes as community-based descriptors of student success:
Giving back to the community, environment, and world;
Discovering and pursuing passions so students can reach their full potential;
Demonstrating strong academic and soft skills, and showing an ability to think critically, solve problems, and apply knowledge to new situations or contexts;
Being prepared for life after high school, including setting clear goals and developing short-term and long-term engagement in learning;
Exhibiting strength, confidence, and resilience in their every day lives and being generally healthy and happy; and
Gaining a strong sense of cultural understanding and appreciation for Hawaii.
For more information, view the digital and print reports.
The Department and BOE are updating the description of student success, and strategies for school and community innovation, professional development, leadership and more. A draft plan will be presented to the BOE in mid-October, and final plan will be presented to the BOE in December.
"Since we embarked on community engagement in April, we have received tremendous amounts of valuable information that will help us craft a Strategic Plan that meets the ever-changing needs of our students and community," said Tammi Chun, assistant superintendent, Office of Strategy, Innovation and Performance. "The process has been two-fold as we're also using the feedback from the community to help us with our state plan in response to the new federal education law, ESSA, that is required to receive federal funds."
HIDOE continues to monitor the national changes for the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), and has offered feedback to the U.S. Department of Education (USED) on how the rules and timelines will impact Hawaii. The Department took issue with the draft regulations appearing to be more prescriptive than what is described in the spirit of the law. HIDOE anticipates submitting the state's plan for ESSA funding on the USED's March 6, 2017 deadline.

Craigslist has banned personal ads thanks to a new trafficking law — here's why sex workers say it could put them in huge danger
Sarah Fielding
The sex worker pictured was not featured in this piece.
The Senate recently passed SESTA, designed to fight sex trafficking.
It passed with bipartisan support.
Sex workers believe its passage may put them in danger.
Sites that workers could use to protect each other have been shut down.
Throughout history, sex workers have often been treated as dirty and as if the work they do is undignified or forced upon them. Though human trafficking is a large problem, sex workers who consent to being in the industry often feel the brunt of anti-trafficking laws when lawmakers decide what's best for those in the sex industry, rather than consulting with the people who make their livelihood through it.
The latest instance of this, according to many sex workers and advocates, was the Senate's passage of the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act, commonly referred to as SESTA, on Wednesday, March 21.
SESTA amends section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, now holding websites liable for any material posted related to sex trafficking. In a vote of 97-2, the Senate applauded itself for what it saw as a bipartisan step towards taking action towards reducing the amount of sex trafficking occurring on the internet.
Proposed by Senator Rob Portman, the act was formed as a response to reports that adults and children were being trafficked on the website Backpage.com. It had support from lawmakers on both sides and was even supported by celebrities like Amy Schumer and Seth Meyers in a video.
But now that the act has passed in the Senate, it is being called out for allegedly reducing internet freedom, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation tweeting, "Today is a dark day for the Internet. Congress just passed the Internet censorship bill SESTA/FOSTA." Many sex workers have also spoken out, saying that a great piece of their self-built safety barrier on the internet has been removed.
Lawmakers disputed concerns that internet privacy was being sacrificed to help combat trafficking.
"Victims of sex trafficking should be protected and have the ability to seek justice. That's why, from my earliest days as a prosecutor, I've led the fight against Backpage and other sex trafficking platforms. And I am proud to support the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act, which will make it possible for victims and state prosecutors to hold online sex traffickers accountable," said Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) in a statement.
"I recognize that there are concerns about curbing innovation and free expression online. But it is simply a false choice to suggest that we either protect victims or we protect free speech," she continued. "We can and must do both."

Following the House of Representatives' version, Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, or FOSTA, passing in February, the act will now be sent to President Trump's desk, where he is expected to sign it into law. FOSTA and SESTA are used interchangeably when referring to the bill going to the President's desk.
SESTA's perceived negative effects on internet freedom have already been felt with Craigslist announcing the closure of its personal ads sections on the website.
With websites facing criminal charges if there is any sex trafficking movement on their platform, it becomes safer for websites to remove risky sections altogether rather than face potential violations.
Craigslist released a statement following their decision: "US Congress just passed HR 1865, 'FOSTA,' seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully. Any tool or service can be misused. We can't take such risk without jeopardizing all our other services, so we are regretfully taking craigslist personals offline. Hopefully, we can bring them back someday. To the millions of spouses, partners, and couples who met through Craigslist, we wish you every happiness!"
If SESTA is meant to make the internet safer, why are sex workers so devastated following its passing?
Odette, an in-person, professional dominatrix working in the sex industry for seven years, explained, "I cannot even describe the fear and insecurity that are present in our message boards. People are very, very scared. We are consensual workers, just like anyone else."
She said she sees this as a labor issue.
"We deserve the right to work and control our livelihood. Online advertising has allowed sex workers to separate from the stereotype of pimp/brothel and control their own work independently and consensually," she said. "This legislation is a direct attack on the self-determination of women, femmes, POC, people with disabilities, queers, and transfolk. In sex work, many marginalized people have found a financially viable way to make money, and I feel that this legislation reflects a desire to control and subdue these specific demographics."
In fact, Odette said she believes that this legislation will have the opposite effect of its intention, forcing sex traffickers further underground, while limiting sex workers' ability to collaborate with authorities and help those in danger.
"Sex workers and advertising sites have an impeccable track record of working against trafficking. We are the closest to it and the best equipped to identify a trafficked person. I have called and reported to the center for exploited children multiple times, as have all of my compatriots and advertisers," she says. "We are losing an integral tool against real trafficking as this legislation passes into law and more at-risk people will feel the consequences."
Arielle Ivy, a sex worker of five years, echoed this sentiment to INSIDER: "This legislation means we can't safeguard ourselves and our community. We can't pass along information about bad clients or unsafe situations, and we can't protect or even develop our community without a space to do so."
As Ivy alludes to, on top of traffickers being able to work farther under the radar, SESTA could pose an additional danger to sex workers.
As part of an effort to keep themselves and fellow workers safe, members of the sex industry have set up forms to keep track of anyone who has sought out their services but came off as a potentially dangerous individual. Odette refers to them as "bad date sites" and, following the passage of SESTA, many have already been taken down.
Odette explained that the loss of these databases could be dangerous for sex workers since they often rely on them to stay informed.
"Sex workers use client verification/bad date sites daily to background check clients in a community database. To lose these databases means that we cannot provide mutual aid and safety to one another," she said. "These are sites that keep us safe and informed. We are losing them RIGHT NOW. When this data is lost, we are not able to keep each other safe. The thing that sex workers do best is keep each other safe in a system outside of regulated commerce."
In light of this law, many sex workers are calling on those around them to be allies and help keep their friends who work in sex work safe.
"Honestly, the best advice I could give [non-sex workers] is just to support your sex worker friends and the sex workers around you. Don't be mean and degrade. Remember that we are trying to make a living too. We are people too," Rainny Daze told INSIDER, explaining how the stigma can begin to be removed. She has worked as a bratdom, sugar baby, and escort for one year, aspiring to one day be a porn star.
One signature does not mean that sex workers will give up.
While SESTA has passed the Senate for the time being, the fight to protect sex workers online is far from over.
"What we need from ordinary people is engagement and voice," Odette says. "Sex work is deeply intersectional: this is a feminist issue, a labor issue, a disability issue, an income equality issue, a race issue. We need support and solidarity free from antiquated sex-negative morality. We need more people to talk and yell and care.This is affecting our free speech now, but it will extend to your free speech next. Care about us, defend us. The attacks will always target the most vulnerable first, stop repression and censorship NOW."
To sex workers worried about the passage of SESTA, Daze encourages you to not settle for this new norm. "They're trying tear us down and silence our voice. We will survive. Sex work is one of the oldest professions. We're here to stay," she said.

Bea Feitler (1938-1982) graduated from Parsons School of Design in 1959 with a degree in Graphic Arts and Advertising. She went on to lead an illustrious career as a designer of books, magazines, posters, record album covers and more. Feitler served as art director for Harper's Bazaar and Ms; was consulting art director for Condé Nast, where she created the look for Self magazine; and designed for Rolling Stone magazine. Professional work in the Feitler collection includes layouts, dummies and other pre-publication work; and photographs and contact sheets by a number of the distinguished photographers with whom Feitler worked. Personal materials include mail art, correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, ephemera, original drawings and collages.
After graduating from Parsons School of Design in 1943, Andrée Golbin (1923-2006) led a long career as a painter, graphic artist and illustrator. In addition to serving as art director for Mademoiselle magazine in the early 1950s, Golbin created artwork for a diverse roster of clients, including several modern dance companies, Henri Bendel, and American Cyanamid. The New School Archives holds examples of Golbin's drawings and completed projects in the form of book jackets, children's books, catalogs, and assorted promotional materials.
In 1979, Harold Matossian (Parsons School of Design, 1968) became director of the Knoll furniture company's graphics department, producing invitations, brochures, stationery, catalogs and other corporate literature for the company until 1994. The Kellen Design Archives holds finished examples of these graphics.
Esta Nesbitt (1918-1975), an instructor at Parsons School of Design from 1964 to 1974, created fashion illustrations for such publications as Harper's Bazaar, Mademoiselle, and the New York Times Magazine. Later in her career, Nesbitt employed innovative printing techniques as a children's book illustrator, created performance art pieces, and was one of the earliest to experiment with fine art Xerography. Nesbitt's work in the New School Archives primarily consists of 271 original fashion illustrations, as well as pre-publication layouts, mechanicals, proofs, and tear sheets.
The New School's publicity office began issuing the New School Bulletin in 1927. The Bulletins -- sometimes referred to as the "Weekly Bulletin" -- contain announcements about lectures, exhibitions, performances and other campus events, information and updates for selected courses, brief editorial features, and other current news about the school. They were issued inconsistently beginning in 1927, weekly from 1943 to 1961, and thereafter with decreasing frequency before ceasing publication in 1971.
Collection consists of printed materials produced for The New School and Parsons School of Design's commencement and convocation ceremonies, as well as presidential inauguration ceremonies for New School presidents, and other milestone events celebrated during convocation and commencement, such as anniversaries of the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research.
Printed publicity materials including but not limited to mailers, viewbooks, pamphlets, and postcards generally advertising The New School, or a particular course or program of study.
The Designer files collection was assembled by Kellen Design Archives staff between approximately 1994 and 2008 from a variety of sources (on occasion new files continue to be added). Subjects are typically Parsons School of Design graduates, visiting critics, lecturers or faculty. Folder contents may include clippings, work samples, ephemera, slides, and such printed materials as business cards, postcards, and pamphlets. Information about the designers in these files ranges from as little as one item to multiple folders. For each letter of the alphabet, general folders contain information about multiple designers by last name or common business name.
This collection consists of administrative records produced by a variety of offices and departments of Parsons School of Design. Included are memos, correspondence, photographs, reports, and printed promotional material, as well as items pertaining to New School building construction. The administrative offices from which material has been collected herein includes Admissions, the Board of Governors, Career Services, Design and Constructio, the Development Office, External Partnerships, Human Resources, and Student Services. For additional related material, researchers should consult the Parsons School of Design administrative and other offices collection (pre-2008 accessions).
The Parsons course catalogs collection consists of publications from Parsons New School of Design and its affiliate programs, including catalogs for overseas schools, and continuing education and AAS programs.

Q: undefined method `variety_id' for []:ActiveRecord::Relation I'm getting this error:
undefined method `variety_id' for []:ActiveRecord::Relation

When i'm adding the <%= r.results.variety_id %> code to my trial view. The <%= r.site.site_name %> works fine, but can not work out why the <%= r.results.variety_id %> won't work. The Results database has many trial_id's (3-6) that I want to match against the Trials database and then list them on my trial view.
Trial view
<% @results.each do |y| %>

<%= y.year %> Trials

<% end %>

<% @results.each do |s| %>

<%= s.site.site_name %>

<% end %>

<% @results.each do |r| %>
<%= r.results.variety_id %>
<% end %>

Controller
def trial
  @results = Trial.where(params[:trial_id])
end

Models
class Trial < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :trial_id, :site_id, :year

  scope :year, ->(year) { where(year: year) }
  scope :trial_id, ->(trial_id) { where(trial_id: trial_id) }

  belongs_to :site, :primary_key => 'site_id'
  has_many :results

end

class Result < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :trial_id, :variety_id, :year

  belongs_to :trial

end

lass Site < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :site_id, :site_name, :region

  has_many :trials

end

Schema
 create_table "results", :force => true do |t|
    t.integer  "trial_id"
    t.integer  "variety_id"
    t.string   "year"
  end

  create_table "sites", :force => true do |t|
    t.integer  "site_id"
    t.string   "site_name"
    t.integer  "region"
  end

  create_table "trials", :force => true do |t|
    t.integer  "trial_id"
    t.integer  "site_id"
    t.string   "year"
  end

The trial_id columns in results and trials a pre populated with corresponding id's.

A: The problem is that your Trial class has_many :results, so when you call r.results.variety_id, you are trying to call the variety_id method on a group of results, not just one. Try using an iterator, such as <%= r.results.map{|r| r.variety_id} %>.
Alternatively, you could loop through the results using another each block and display the variety_id of each one:
<% @results.each do |r| %>
  <% r.results.each do |result| %>
    <%= result.variety_id %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

QUETTA: A local court on Wednesday indicted Balochistan's former home minister Nawabzada Gazain Marri in the murder of Balochistan High Court's (BHC) judge Nawaz Marri.
District and Sessions Judge Rashid Mehmood read the charges during the hearing, however, Marri pleaded not guilty before the court.
Justice Marri was killed in a firing incident in Quetta's Zarghoon road area on January 6, 2000. Twenty people including Gazain Marri, his brothers and other relatives were nominated in the murder case.
The hearing has been adjourned till March 20 and the court has directed the investigation officer to ensure the presence of remaining accused in the case on the date.
Gazain Marri, the son of late Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri, had returned from self-exile on September 22, 2017, when he was arrested by the police from the airport. The court had earlier granted Marri bail in the same case.

Ms Bird (Cunningham) (12:41): I want to take the opportunity in this House today to put on the record, for members and for the general public, two important battles going on in my electorate, to which my Labor colleague, the member for Whitlam, and I have been able to provide some support, together with our state Labor colleagues: Ryan Park, the member for Keira; Paul Scully, the member for Wollongong; and Anna Watson, the member for Shellharbour. We have, playing out locally, two disputes that encapsulate exactly the challenges that ordinary workers and their families are facing across the country. I'm very pleased to be joined by some constituents in the Chamber today and to be able to talk about the fight that they've got on their hands.
I want to first of all go to the decision by BHP and BlueScope to abandon Australian crews and shipping on the run around the Australian coast, from Western Australia to the port in my own area, Port Kembla. We've had a long history—over a hundred years—of ships carrying iron on the Australian coastline to provide for our steel industry, and we all know very well from our history the importance of our maritime fleet at times of great struggle, indeed world wars, in this country. This country needs, for its own best interests, an Australian fleet on our domestic runs. I have met with workers from two ships—the Lowlands Brilliance and the Mariloula—who, while in international waters, were told that their run had been cancelled, that their employment had been cut and that they would be sent home—some of them with years and years of experience as seafarers, others new to the job, told out in the middle of the ocean that their job is gone.
This is a disgrace on so many levels. It's a disgrace for those individuals and their families to have their work pulled out from under them in that manner, where they don't have access to their union reps or to people to support them to deal with that sort of outcome. It's also a real disgrace for us as a nation that a significant employer, indeed one whose initials say it's about 'the big Australian', abandons Australian shipping and Australian workers. Indeed, we know all too well from the report Ships of shame, which was a bipartisan report of this parliament, about the abuse of foreign seafarers and what that will now open up to.
I want to acknowledge the Maritime Union officials Garry Keane, Mick Cross and Mich-Elle Myers for the work they've done on this campaign and also the sacked workers, particularly those here with us today—Daniel Bell, who was on the Lowlands Brilliance and comes from Nowra, and Ben Sirasch, who was on the Mariloula, and partner Erin, who are from the Gold Coast.
I also acknowledge their colleagues John Liebrand, Will Zisis and Daniel Hicks.
I call on the government to have a close look at the action it could have taken in not providing licences for foreign-flagged, foreign-crewed ships to do domestic runs. I think it's something that in the long run, as a nation, we need to get on top of. Certainly our shadow minister Anthony Albanese has made it clear that Labor believe that we need to have a domestic fleet.
I also want to talk about the Port Kembla Coal Terminal. I have met with the united mineworkers' union representatives Bob Timbs and Lee Webb; the workers on the picket line out the front of the coal terminal; here today, David Brown, Geoff Logan, Kevin Cope and Chris Milevski; and also some workers who are still back either locked out or on strike in my local area who yesterday, while some of their colleagues were here in Canberra, were actually out repairing playground equipment in Dapto, using their time while they were on strike to help a local community: Ben Burns, Owen Steep, Cameron Green and Peter Hawke. These workers just want kept in their enterprise agreement a guarantee of security that they can't be sacked and replaced by contractors. PKCT claim that that's their intention. Well, get back to the table and put that back into that agreement so these workers and their families have an assurance of security for the future.

I have 12 days in the Philippines and fly out from Manila,does anyone know of the best tourist areas for beaches and nature? i fly into Cebu?
cebu itself has a lot of good places (cultural heritage sites and beaches where you can dive or stay in; some places have turtle, dolphin and whale viewing ), you can hire a travel van to take you to local resorts for one day or several days depending on how long you re staying-- there are some near the airport and you can just communicate with the driver or reception :) I highly recommend this one or a tour bus so you don t get lost. You can check out in advance what places you plan to go to by searching south cebu or north cebu in google. You can also check out the neighboring island Negros Oriental, you just have to take a small boat or fastcraft and in an hour you can reach it (travel from the airport to the port is about 4-5 hours though). Negros Oriental is also a thriving tourist area and there s a lot of good places there. I recommend visiting Apo Island and White Sandbar.
Palawan is the best by far.

Need some advice please. Having a bit of a 'really could do without' time with everything car related.
Story began a week ago with me hitting a fox/badger-sized animal while driving down a dark country road. Car sustained considerable damage (RIP to animal) and it was basically unsafe to drive beyond taking it to my preferred garage the next day. Claim went through fine with insurers and approval was received surprisingly quickly for the repair. However as the repair is with my own garage, insurers weren't liable for sorting out a car hire (which was fine and expected). The garage had no courtesy cars available so I've been personally paying for a car hire with Enterprise for the past week - to get to work and all.
Returned the car hire to a different Enterprise branch today to the one I picked it up from - found one much closer to the garage. The inspection noted a small ?cut/?rip to the tyre (https://imgur.com/a/4EtIkAy). This was submitted as a 'damage incident' to their ?damage repair unit. I went along with it all and just gave an electronic sign-off signature, and was given vague information about what would happen next: I'll get a call from the pick-up branch about what will happen next. Luckily (or so I initially thought), I had taken out car hire insurance after saying no to their excess waiver, but only found out today after reading the policy that it is invalid due to the fact I bought it a day into the car hire.
As it stands now, because I paid with a debit card, I am waiting to receive an invoice for £1000 for the excess ?and the cost of replacing the tire. Claiming back from the car hire insurance policy is not an option, so I am left with the options of either challenging this or just accepting this as a very expensive lesson to always take out EDW/take out car hire insurance policy before the car hire.
Only thing I can say is that during the drop-off inspection today, the tyre damage was noted but the card with the cut-out hole they use to assess whether it is wear-and-tear was not used. I wonder if this is because of health & safety? that any tyre damage is considered significant and not wear-and-tear? Other thing to mention is that it was past 6pm when we picked the car up a week ago and past sunset, and the whole process quite rushed - but the branch did do me a favour in keeping the branch open when I found out last minute the garage couldn't set me up with a courtesy car. The lady did do a quick walk around the car but we didn't due to time and all. I don't know if this could be challenged as a 'non damage' thus cancelling it all completely?

Hey Pope! Try Google!
March 12, 2009 by jontownsend
An interesting article from the NY Times having to do with various and sundry things related to the Pope. Here are some excerpts:
"MADRID — The letter released Thursday in which Pope Benedict XVIadmitted that the Vatican had made "mistakes" in handling the case of a Holocaust-denying bishop was unprecedented in its directness, its humanity and its acknowledgment of papal fallibility.
But it also contained two sentences unique in the annals of church history.
"I have been told that consulting the information available on the Internet would have made it possible to perceive the problem early on," Benedict wrote. "I have learned the lesson that in the future in the Holy See we will have to pay greater attention to that source of news."
In other words: "Note to the Roman Curia: try Google."
The Vatican, a 2,000-year-old monarchy built on the ruins of the Roman Empire and run by octogenarians, has officially recognized the demands of the 24-hour news cycle, not a 24-century one."
Future policy in Vatican City?
Another excerpt:
"On Thursday, the Society of St. Pius X said it was ready to begin the doctrinal debates necessary for its return to full communion with the church. It conveyed the news in an e-mail message, in Latin, which instructed recipients "Ite ed vide," or go and look, at its Web site, of course."
When I want to really make my point, I always send email messages in latin.

Reports: Arsenal's Ivan Gazidis Set To Stay At Club
Arsenal Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis is reportedly set to stay at the club with AC Milan set to give up their pursuit (via Sky Sports).
It was one of the strangest transfer stories of the summer but reports suggest that AC Milan's pursuit of an Arsenal board member is over.
The Italian side was apparently keen on signing Arsenal's Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis to become a part of their hierarchy.
For a long time, Gazidis was seemingly close to turning his back on Arsenal despite the supposed power struggle with Arsene Wenger at board level.
Gazidis was said to be offered up to €4 million/year to sign for the Italian side which was keen on increasing its commercial revenue.
However, it seems that Gazidis made a number of additional demands that Milan have refused and the deal has broken down.
It's an interesting story but it's difficult to say whether this is good or bad news for Arsenal. It's hard to say just how good Ivan Gazidis is at his job but he's going to be doing at Arsenal for some time to come.

\r\n Its head is by my stomarch now and its neck is bent ready to strike . All I can do is pray or cry I havnt seen a snake like this . I feel like some one is behind me controlling the snake . It might be the devil breathing down the back of my neck like the snakes charmer dearing me to harm his demond thats probly how the snake got here in the first place . It did not bite me .Its so thick I can tell its twice as big as can see . Why is it black and white the head is huge it breaths as I do .
\r\n The snake dances to the song of evil and mock me becuase I cant move . I feel paralized I never breaks eye contact exept to slowly move my head to see the shadow behind me seting in a chair facing my bed . I turn back and its breathing more quickly .I lay with it for an hour bcuase I cant move but im so sleepy it hurts . Finaly I just past out. I awake the next morning and i see that the snakes imprint in my sheets ans a spirall under my pillow seeming to be the gate way. I Find no snake I wish I did becuase it was well trained and it looked exspensive .
\r\nDreaming about snakes on a bed may refer to deep urges, especially connected to your sensual desire or sexuality.The snake is typically considered as a phallic symbol. This meaning is emphasized in a dream where snakes are in a bed.
\r\nThe snake dream could mean that you need to look within yourself to see how you relate with your own sexuality and its expression.
\r\nDepending on what the snake look like, you may interpret the dream as an indication of how you perceive your own sexual energy and desire. Is the snake colorful or dull? Does it move vigorously or is it slow? Is it big or small, aggressive or friendly? Your response will give additional clues to interpret your dream.
\r\nFirstly, the classic meaning for dreams that take place in a bedroom, especially if your bed or bedroom is portrayed, is associated with intimacy. It could be intimacy with a partner or simply how you experience your own connection with yourself. Seeing a snake or several snakes in your bed bring this meaning forth even more strongly.
\r\nSecondly, the bed or bedroom could symbolize your private sphere, a sense of your personal space or boundaries. To see snakes crawling in your bed in a dream denote insidious feelings that are creeping. Perhaps you have been avoiding looking at a sticky situation in your waking life and the dreams is bring it to your attention.
\r\nSnakes in a bed can refer to a situation in your life where your private space is being invaded and your boundaries not respected. In the dream, you may be surprised by the presence of the snake in your bed, just like you may not be fully aware that you are being bothered by a situation or someone close to you in your waking life.
\r\nThis type of snake dream relates to the need to look at guilt or an anxiety that is associated to the topics of private space or intimacy in general or in the context of your current relationship.
\r\nIf dreaming about snakes on your bed comes with a feeling of curiosity or fascination in the dream, this may mean that you are in the process of exploring new ways to express your own sexual or sensual life.
\r\nThis snake dream is a reminder of your own creativity and need to express deep, instinctual desires.
\r\nIf you dream of seeing snakes in someone else's bed, this could point to your desire or curiosity about someone who is close to you. It could mean that you would like to strengthen your current relationship or wish to renew it.
\r\nThe snake could also represent your ambivalence regarding the development of the relationship and the deepening of emotional and/or sexual intimacy.
\r\nSnakes in a bed could indicate that you\'re feeling guilty about about sexual or romantic feelings you've been having.
\r\nDepending on the overall feeling in your dream, this may indicate that you are in the process of dealing with ambivalent emotions regarding your own sexuality or sexual desires towards a partner or potential partner.
\r\nDreaming about snakes in a bed may point to a need to acknowledge these feelings more fully and explore ways to express them more respectfully and harmoniously in your waking life.
\r\nIf a snake appears on your bed in a dream and you are not very afraid or not afraid at all, this may mean that you are involved in a healing process connected to your sexuality or a relationship with an intimate partner.
\r\nThe snake could be interpreted as a symbol of deeply rooted sexual energy or desire that is trying to be expressed more fully. The dream may indicate that you need to pay attention to sexual or romantic matters of importance to you and your intimate partner.
