The Red Range was established in the year of 1994 by Focusrite. Both hardware units inherit the sound and circuit design of their predecessors from the ISA range of processors.
The Red 3 is a compressor was built as an outboard successor to the ISA130 compressor module built by Rupert Neve for Sir George Martin's console at Air Studios London. This compressor is famously known for maintaining mix intelligibility, even in the event of significant compression. Due to its simple and intentional VCA circuit design, this compressor is well suited for a variety of sound sources.
Focusrite has continued on with the philosophy of providing microphone pre-ampfliers that are accurate with the least amount of artificial colouration possible. Where many audio companies today seem to create equipment that purposefully imposes harmonic distortion onto the signal being passed through it, this has never been the aim for the folks at Focusrite.
The Red 2 EQ and Red 3 Compressor had no measurable distortion as evidenced in their specification sheets and thus you will not find any present in their plugin counterparts. In addition to near zero distortion, these pieces of equipment also had a lot of headroom available to them thus making distortion due to overdriving them near impossible to do.
The Red 2 EQ and Compressor plugins come bundled with the purchase of any Scarlett, Claret, RedNet, or Safire audio interface and are also available for sale via the Focusrite website.
After testing these plugins, Alexander Lindo was rather impressed with them. Aside from the beautiful and realistic graphical user interface, the sound that he produced while using them was truly remarkable.
Red 2 EQ: Alexander placed the Red 2 EQ on a Kick Drum, shaved off some lows using the low pass filter, boosted some lows at around 60 Hz while taking out some of the boom using the low-mid bell filter with a medium bandwidth. The result was a more solid and punchy kick. Using this graphical representation of the hardware piece always re-enforces what great joy it is to use hardware, due to its knobs and VU meters. Alexander will always love VU meters, to the point where, if they are not present on the hardware, then he probably will not buy it. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, for example in the event of the audio interface: most use LED meters, but non-the-less VU meters are definitely preferred.
Red 3 Compressor: After achieving an adequate balance of the drum kit, Alexander placed the Red 3 Compressor on the Drum Sub-master and set the ratio at 4:1 with a fast attack and fast release. First ensuring that all levels were correct on the way in to the compressor as to prevent clipping, he then proceeded to bring down the threshold parameter. At this point you can hear the aggression kick in, as to be expected with compression, however the aggression that this compressor provided was one of the pure kind. The sound remained solid and took a bit of an effort to became grainy. After receiving a reasonable amount of compression, Alexander proceeded to adjust the mix knob to taste, in order to bring back the dynamics of the drum kit that were lost due to compression (of course instead of using the mix knob you could just raise the threshold). The result was a solid sounding drum kit.
Placing the compressor on the bass and guitar parts yielded similar results. Using the EQ, Alexander was able to bring out some mid-range on the guitar parts, further adding to their character. Placing the compressor on synth parts led to a slightly more aggressive sound and one that remained full. He was careful not to overdo it as to prevent the pumping effect from occurring. Due to the extensible attack (0.300ms to 90ms) release times (0.1second to 4 seconds), setting this compressor to taste was no problem. On the topic of pumping: Alexander says that he would have loved to see a key input option provided.
Alexander progressed towards the lead vocal for my single entitled "Hurt" of which he had originally used stock Logic EQ and Compressor. Up first was the EQ, The vocals were recorded using a condenser microphone, recorded through the preamplifier of the Scarlett audio interface. Both the microphone and the audio interface have a relatively flat frequency response and near zero THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). Using the high shelf filter at around 12 kHz (the 1073 frequency), Alexander turned the high end up only about 2 dB in order to increase presence within context of the mix. It did indeed provide a sound unique to this equalizer. A somewhat airy effect, however subdued it may be. After removing some lows, he progressed with a 1 to 2 dB boost at around 1.2 kHz in order to gain legibility in the mix.
Alexander then placed the Red 3 Compressor on the vocal with a fast attack and a fast release. With a ratio of 4:1 and an optimum level, he began to bring down the threshold just until the sound was relatively constant. This was not at all difficult to achieve as compression began will little to no artifacts. Alexander continued adjusting to taste. After he was satisfied, he placed a second Red 3 Compressor on the vocal. This time with a medium attack and release. In this scenario, The first compressor is used to level the peaks and the second one is used to smooth them out. The results were as reasonable as one would expect. The voice remained clear, consistent and true to the source with out any sign of distortion.
For the fun of it Alexander decided to lay down an additional vocal take with both the Red 2 EQ and the Red 3 Compressor instantiated. With a buffer size of 64 samples, he enabled Low-Latency mode in preparation of the event, that these plugins created any latency. Alexander Lindo can confirm that these plugins induce no latency whatsoever. This increases their value in the recording and tracking department. CPU load was placed at a minimum as well, leading one to conclude that these are indeed well coded.
Alexander placed the EQ and Compressor on supporting vocal tracks and set them to taste in order to better evaluate the mix with their presence. After he was satisfied with the vocal mix, It was finally time to move on to the stereo master. Starting with a moderate ratio, medium attack and fast release he listened to the already well balanced mix come together in a beautiful fashion. This compressor has a way of making elements even smother than they already were. The compressor was definitely doing a great job.
Red 2 EQ and Red 3 Compressor are what Alexander would consider to be an underrated pair of plugins that deserve attention (even if you do not own a Focusrite audio interface). If not only for their vivid appearance but also for the clean, transparent and full "character" they impart on your mix. In addition, these plugins introduce no-latency and do not require a dongle to run, which is always a plus in Alexander's book. The Red 3 Hardware Compressor has received praise from the likes of Chris Lorde-Alge who uses it on every mix.
If you are looking for the current hardware incarnation of the Red 2 EQ and Red 3 Compressor your best bet would be to check out the ISA 430 MKII Channel Strip from Focusrite. While it is not entirely similar, this remains the most current, favorable and enhanced reproduction of the original ISA 110 eq module and 130 compressor module originally designed by Rupert Neve, of which the Red 2 and 3 are based. The ISA 430 can be seen in the possession of top producers / engineers like Pharrell Williams and Damian Taylor and Adrian Bushby.

Whatever Happened to ...
The Work Continues: Property Maintenance Lawsuits Move Forward, Foster Care Vouchers Pass, and More
By Brandon Duong and Miriam Axel-Lute -

In the third installment of Shelterforce articles of old, we look back at what's been happening with lawsuits filed against banks that allegedly failed to maintain properties they own in predominantly Black and Latinx neighborhoods, Medicaid funding for housing, community developers elected to office, and vouchers for foster care youth.
New York City Community Developers in Still Office
"Direct Action Governing," 2012
Eleven years ago, we wrote about three organizers and community developers who had been elected to the New York City Council. Jumaane Williams, Margaret Chin, and Brad Lander were part of the same freshman class of councilmembers, and each attributed their success to how they were able to harness the energy of their organizing backgrounds in order to mobilize their communities. All three still hold office, although Williams has moved on from the council.
Jumaane Williams, who previously represented the city's 45th District on the council, is currently serving as New York City Public Advocate after winning a 2019 special election. Williams, former director of the Flatbush East Community Development Corporation, saw several of his bills pass during his time on the council. In 2013, the council voted to pass Williams's Community Safety Act, creating an inspector general position to oversee the actions of the New York Police Department and ban racial profiling. Williams was also behind the Fair Chance Act, which prohibits employers from inquiring about an applicant's criminal history during the job interview process until after a conditional offer of employment is made. In 2015, the New York City Council passed Williams' Intro. 700, which created regulations for "tenant relocation specialists," or individuals employed by landlords to buy out tenants.
Margaret Chin is a founding member of Asian Americans for Equality, a major community development organization in New York's Chinatown, and former board member of Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development. In her time on the council, she supported various initiatives aimed at reducing poverty and increasing affordable housing available to older adults, including an issuance of a Request for Proposals for an affordable senior living facility in Chinatown and expressing support for the Landlords Accountability Act in the House of Representatives. In 2018, the New York City Council unanimously approved Chin's legislation to conduct annual health inspections at senior centers and social adult day cares that serve food to seniors, and make the results of those inspections publicly available online. However, she has also received criticism from constituents for not pushing back forcefully on large development projects and for her 2019 vote supporting the construction of a new jail in Chinatown, one of four that would replace Rikers Island.
Brad Lander, former director of the Pratt Center for Community Development and the Fifth Avenue Committee, a CDC in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, is a councilmember representing the 39th District in Brooklyn. This year he is running for city comptroller, which is the city's chief fiscal officer, charged with duties such as managing public pension funds, auditing city agencies, and analyzing the city budget. Throughout his term as a councilmember, his activist background has repeatedly shown itself. He was arrested in 2015 for blocking traffic to support striking car washers, in 2017 for protesting a tax bill in the Capitol Building, and in 2018 at a protest outside the office of state Sen. Martin Golden.
Councilmember Lander also opposed Mayor Bill DeBlasio's plan to rezone the site of a former hospital, despite its inclusion of affordable housing, citing his constituents' opposition to new residential development and concern about the project's scale. He has been a leading advocate for a program that moved 9,500 individuals experiencing homelessness into vacant hotel rooms across the city during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Property Maintenance Lawsuits Moving Forward
"How Poorly Maintained Bank-Owned Homes Harm Black and Latino Communities," 2018
In March 2018, we ran an article about the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) and 19 other fair housing organizations filing a federal lawsuit against Deutsche Bank, Ocwen Financial, and Altisource for disproportionately failing to maintain properties they owned due to foreclosure in predominantly Black and Latinx neighborhoods to the same standards they maintained homes they owned in other areas.
This phenomenon is one of the many patterns that reinforces disparities in opportunity and quality of life between neighborhoods based on race. And those lenders are not alone. Later that year, NFHA filed a similar lawsuit against Bank of America, and in 2019 it also filed one against Fannie Mae. NFHA reports that all of those lawsuits have survived multiple motions to dismiss from the plaintiffs and are currently proceeding with the discovery phase.
—Miriam Axel-Lute
It Was a Nice Idea
"Medicaid Dollars for Housing," 2019
In 2019, Shelterforce featured an article covering what was then an exciting development at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Then–HHS secretary Alex Azar hinted that Medicaid funds could be used to cover housing costs. Over the course of the preceding years, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) had begun embracing the social determinants of health. Nonetheless, this idea came as a surprise to many observers, as using Medicaid funds to pay directly for housing (as opposed to housing-related services) is prohibited by the Social Security Act.
Two years later, hopes that Medicaid funds could be used to pay for housing have gone unfulfilled.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation did release several integrated care models that touch upon social determinants of health in April 2019, but there has been no news regarding the use of Medicaid money for housing, and Azar resigned in January 2021 following fallout from the infamous insurrection. However, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services now offer flexibilities for private Medicare Advantage plan sponsors to pay for benefits "that are not primarily health-related," including housing, if the enrollee is chronically ill.
Foster Youth Vouchers Now Guaranteed
"HUD Approves Vouchers for Housing After Foster Care," 2019
In 2019, Shelterforce reported on a successful campaign to provide additional funding to young people transitioning out of the foster care system. In March 2019, HUD announced the Foster Youth to Independence Initiative (FYI), a $20 million voucher program aimed at preventing homelessness for youth leaving the foster care system. The program used existing HUD funds to provide on-demand vouchers and assistance, bypassing the need for Congress to approve new funding. Since the start of the initiative, HUD has issued over 1,000 vouchers.
However, recently there was even better news for youth leaving foster care. The bill mentioned in our original article, the Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities (FSHO) Act, which guarantees a housing voucher starting from emancipation through age 25 for any youth aging out of foster care who could demonstrate the need for a subsidy, was included in the December 2020 Consolidated Appropriations act and has become law.

We were unable to get Medicaid to pay for repairing an elderly client's roof which was exposing her to mold related illnesses, because the maximum benefits were not enough to repair the roof. Grant driven home repair organizations never had enough to help her either.

I think this one came out pretty well! To get this look, I created drip marble decals using Darling Diva The Hot Kitsune, Supermoon Azoth, Polish 'M Fall/Winter Prototype 32, Cupcake Polish Water You Doing? and Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Monster in a Turbulent Star.
If you'd like to see more about how to create and apply the decals, check out my Youtube tutorial.
I had to include two macro shots because this just came out so cool! I'm really happy with the colour combination and with the unique swirls of colour I got.
I love how different each nail looks, and yet how it looks like a cohesive manicure!
What do you think of this drip marble? Are there any specific marbled looks you're hoping to see this week?

By tothepoint
YWCA staff members provide life-changing services to those in our community who have felt the blows of prejudice, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and family breakdown. It's a tough job, and not the kind one can easily leave behind at the office. Yet many choose to volunteer their time and expertise to similar advocacy organizations whose missions overlap with YWCA's.
State domestic violence coalition elects Tanika Siscoe to its board.
Tanika Siscoe, a Domestic Violence Prevention Specialist, is among them. She was recently elected to the board of directors of the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
Founded in 1990 by survivors and their allies, the coalition membership comprises representatives from domestic violence programs across the state. It's mission is straightforward: To end domestic violence through advocacy and action for social change.
"Our work includes visionary leadership, supporting our member programs, and engaging the public to play a role in ending domestic and sexual violence," the coalition says.
Tanika, already a member of the coalition, decided to run for election to the board in order to become even more involved in seeking solutions to domestic violence.
"I'm looking forward to collaborating with people from other domestic violence programs across the state," she says. "My priority is always prevention, to be engaged in anti-oppression and anti-racism work, to be part of the struggle for economic justice for all, and for the guarantee that reproductive rights will be recognized and protected. As a member of the board of the coalition, I will meet more dedicated people from throughout Washington who share my goals."

Subway to Launch Vegan Falafel Sandwich Across Australia and New Zealand
Amid a rising demand for plant-based filling options, Subway's Australian and New Zealand locations have launched the chain's first-ever completely plant-based menu option – a vegan falafel sandwich.
According to national media publication Courier Mail, the sandwich comes with smashed falafel in an effort to cater to Australia's mammoth demand for plant-based food. The vegan handhold is part of a new menu uphaul, which is now being trialed across 100 select locations throughout Australia and New Zealand. Specifically, the falafel sandwich is available at Subways in New South Wales, Victora, Queensland, South Australia, and West Australia.
"We know Australian palates and preferences have changed over time, and we're excited to hear directly from our guests so we can end up with a great balance between the classic Subway favourites, and on-trend, innovative flavours," Subway's Director of Marketing, Kate Brody, told the news outlet.
"We're seeking as much feedback as possible to ensure that if we add or remove any ingredients, we know exactly how our loyal guests feel about it, and any future menu developments are guided by what our guests are telling us," added Brody.
Decisions, decisions…. what's your Subway® favourite?
A post shared by Subway Australia (@subway_australia) on Jun 12, 2016 at 5:18pm PDT
Aussie and New Zealand Subways are not alone in the shift toward incorporating more plant-based offerings. Earlier this year, Subway's Finland sector sent the Internet into a frenzy of excitement after quietly launching a vegan steak sandwich option across its nearly two-dozen locations. "Vegan diet meets spicy vegan steak with 44% vegetables: red onion, red pepper, green pepper, carrot, spinach, corn, white pepper, pea, green chili, garlic," Subway Finland wrote on its website.
Further, a 2012 campaign launched by the animal rights organization Compassion Over Killing was successful in convincing Subway U.S. to create three limited edition vegan subs. These exclusive plant-based menu options were served at select Subway shops across the nation.
Subway joins a growing number of food outlets, from fast-food to fine dining establishments, creating room on the menu for more plant-based items. Recently, Costco took its famous hot dogs off its cafe menu nationwide while simultaneously introducing an array of new vegan options. Also, international fast-food giant KFC announced earlier this year that it is testing the market for vegetarian options and healthier sides in a bid to slash calories. No need to hack a menu at a mainstream eatery; vegan options abound in even the most unexpected places.

Bollywood movies are enormously popular not just because of the actors, actress and stories but also because of the mind blowing dances. From the black and white era to Eastman Color days of 70's to the digital age, each era has been grooved by Bollywood's proficient and talented dancing divas. Over the years these divas have won several hearts and accolades with their vigorous and unforgettable dance performances. Below is the list of top 10 dancing divas of Bollywood, who have wooed their audiences with their sizzling moves.
Katrina Kaif was perhaps not considered amongst the top Bollywood dancers when she first broke onto the scene, but she has come very far, very fast. She has captivated her viewers not only with her beauty, but also with her dancing prowess. From 'Sheila Ki Jawaani' to 'Chikni Chameli' to 'Mashallah' to 'Kamli' she has been a part of some of the best dance tracks of recent times.
At No.9 amongst top dancing divas of Bollywood is Priyanka. Undoubtedly, she's one of the most talented actress and skillful dancer. She is trained Western classical and Kathak dance. I love watching her dance, "Exotic" and "In my City" my favorite! She's look like a typical hip-hop queen.
The Bollywood Beautiful Queen, Aishwarya Rai needs no introduction when it comes to dancing skills. She trained in classical dance during her teens. Besides her epitome of beauty, she is a great dancing talent and has many popular dance numbers to her credit, like 'Nimbuda', 'Kajra Re' and so on. She dance gracefully in the these song Nimbuda.
Jaya Prada was a classical dancer who came into films due to her excellent dancing skills. She gave a dance performance at her school jus at the age of 14 years. She was best known for her live performances and dance shows too. Her song 'Dafali Wale' from film 'Sargam' was a huge hit in 1970's.
Helen was one of the best dancers of her era. Best known for her cabaret dancing, Helen was one of the first actresses who started the trend "item girls" in Bollywood. She is considered the most popular dancer of the item number in her time.
Rani Mukerji is a trained Odissi dancer and has learnt the dance form while in the tenth grade. Through her successful Bollywood career, she has become one of the most high-profile Indian celebrities. She has done many popular dance numbers. In her film 'Dil Bole Haddippa', she performed the bhangra to perfection. In 'Aga bai' Rani performed belly dance superbly.
At No. 4 amongst the top dancing divas of Bollywood is Urmila Matondkar. She is best known for her graceful and stylish moves. Apart from holding a successful acting career, she is known for her intense style and dancing skills. She is regarded as an outstanding dancer and has been a featured in many Bollywood item numbers, like 'Chamma Chamma', 'Kambakht Ishq', 'Rangeela' songs made her popular.
The gorgeous actress is not just a talented actress but also known for her magical dancing style. Be it Western or classical, the diva did it with ease. Although she never studied the art like her South Indian contemporaries Jaya Prada and Meenakshi Sheshadiri, but she made her name as icon. Her climax dance number 'Main Teri Dushman' also remains one of the best snake dances in Bollywood.
At No. 2 on the top Dancing Divas of Bollywood list – the most talented actress, Meenakshi Seshadri, who was the youngest woman to be crowned Miss India in 1981. She was trained in four different types of Indian classical dance, namely, Bharata Natyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak and Odissi. Her Tandav dance on song 'Bin Sajan Jhula Jhulu' from 'Damini' became huge hit and is considered to be the best and most intense dance performance in Indian cinema.
My all time most favorite, the gorgeous Madhuri Dixit is capturing the top position in this list. Best known as the "Dancing Queen of Bollywood" who has created magic with her moves, is not just a very talented actress but also an excellent dancer. Be it western or classical or Kathak, the diva does it gracefully. She pleased her viewers through her sensational dancing skills and with her strong acting. She is a great inspiration for all current Bollywood actresses. You may also like to watch .


My name is Arjen Kuipers (1975). At a young age I started with several sports, like swimming, water polo, fitness and Israeli martial arts. Eventually I ended up with yoga. This felt so good that, after several years of practising, I decided to follow the ashtanga yoga teacher training, which I successfully completed in 2013. Opened a yoga studio in 2014 and closed it in 2016 and at the moment not teaching.
In the past I've had many part-time jobs in the hospitality industry during my studies psychology and chemistry. After that I've started my own construction company (freelance). And that is the reason I started doing yoga, working in construction is not good for your back and I was looking for something to compensate. My girlfriend at that time pointed me to yoga. "Yes, but I'm not fond of red wine or armpit hair" I said .... anyway, I went to a trial lesson and was immediately hooked!

SEE WHAT NAT HAS TO SAY ON TOPICS IN HIV AND HIV-RELATED EVENTS
Elton John AIDS Foundation supports vital work on PrEP
After the PrEP win in the Court of Appeal last week, NAT and PrEPster warmly welcome the continued support from Elton John AIDS Foundation, including a new grant of over £100,000 to support policy work, advocacy and community building to help ensure that PrEP is available as soon as possible to all those who need it.
Deborah Gold, Chief Executive of NAT, said: "We are thankful for the support on this issue, one of our main campaigning efforts in recent times. We are so encouraged that EJAF has really understood the need for PrEP. Their support will allow us to continue in our work on this drug which has the potential to be a huge leap forward in halting the HIV epidemic."
Dr Will Nutland, co-founder of PrEPster.info, said: "This generous grant from EJAF enables PrEPster to do what we do best: to get out into key communities to talk about PrEP and to keep agitating for its availability on the NHS. EJAF's support means that tens of thousands of people will engage with this issue in the months ahead."
Elton John said on his personal Instagram: "Congratulations to the @nationalaidstrust for their success at The Court of Appeals today. @ejaf was proud to support. NHS England can now legally fund PrEP as a treatment for HIV. PrEP is a vital tool in the fight against AIDS. Providing it to patients in the UK would save lives and treatment costs."
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) involves HIV negative people taking an antiretroviral drug to avoid getting HIV.
Multiple studies around the world have shown PrEP to be highly effective in reducing the risk of contracting HIV. The results of the PROUD trial in England, released in 2015, prove that PrEP works and that concerns about it not working in a real world setting, were unfounded. Read more about the trial here: http://www.proud.mrc.ac.uk/
Most trials of PrEP and the US CDC Guidelines involve taking PrEP daily. A study in France, ANRS IPERGAY, has looked at the efficacy of PrEP when taken 'on demand', in other words not daily but only before and after sex. There was also significant preventive benefit shown in this trial.

Home » Leadership » Agile, or Fragile?
Ed Frauenheim has written a tremendous blog on workforce.com that everyone who feels busy should read.
Organizational life, work, pace and culture have stumbled into a condition that they call Strategic Attention Deficit Disorder (yes, SADD). It is characterized by leaders careening from one priority to another, always jumping to the next thing. In the process, they demoralize the workforce and "kill meaning" at work.
This only matters if you care about motivation and people feeling that what they do makes sense. If you don't mind low morale and employee perceptions that work is meaningless, then you can disregard the piece.
Who can argue with being agile? We all have to be this way – at times.
The problem is that it has become code for constantly shifting priorities that confuse employees, and who learn to see the pattern of "here today, gone tomorrow," as the organization grasps for the next new thing. Maybe it will be operational excellence. Or customer-centricity. Or core competency.
The desire for the silver bullet – that one, key linking piece that will forever resolve all the problems, anxieties, confusion and pain – will never go away, I suspect. It's why a bazillion books have been written on leadership and organizations. Everyone is looking for The Answer.
It also speaks to how our brains work. We are hard-wired to notice what is bright and shiny, something exciting and new. We want to be sure we don't miss the boat, or incur a threat. So we give a lot of air time to whatever is new, even while not really following through on what is already in place. So agile becomes fragile.
My friend Katherine McGraw calls the age in which we live "global speed-up." I believe a symptom of the age is SADD, and wise leaders will recognize the problem and perhaps slow the ever-accelerating merry-go-round to ask some new questions.
One of those might be how to get the workforce really behind and supporting whatever the new initiative is. The answer? Engage them in the process. This creates a commitment that makes change efforts more likely to succeed.

German Idea to Fight Anti-Semitism: Make Immigrants Tour Concentration Camps
By RICK GLADSTONE, New York Times
Alarmed by displays of anti-Semitism among new immigrants to Germany, a German politician has offered a novel idea that appears to be gaining traction: required visits to Nazi concentration camp memorials.
The idea, proposed by Sawsan Chebli, a Berlin state legislator of Palestinian heritage, received a significant boost Wednesday when the leaders of Germany's Central Council of Jews and the far larger World Jewish Congress agreed with her.
"People who have fled to us who have themselves had to escape or been expelled can develop empathy in such memorials," the council's president, Josef Schuster, told Deutschlandfunk radio.
The World Jewish Congress, a leading advocacy organization that represents Jewish communities in 100 countries, also welcomed the idea.
"This proposal is an encouraging and effective method of educating people of all backgrounds about the Nazi attempt to wipe out the entire Jewish population of Europe and the dangers such hatred can yield," Ronald S. Lauder, the organization's president, said in an emailed response to a request for comment.
"More than any other country, Germany has faced up to the crimes of its past in an honest and straightforward way, and has made it clear at the highest levels of government that the memory of the Holocaust must never be forgotten or diminished," Lauder said.
The idea of requiring new arrivals to visit concentration camps was not universally endorsed. Some scholars of German history described it as a simplistic answer to a more complicated and insidious problem. Many acts of anti-Semitism in Germany, they emphasized, are not by immigrants.
"You don't stop someone from being a racist or xenophobe by taking them to a concentration camp," said Sabine von Mering, director of the Center for German and European Studies at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. "I don't think that making it a requirement is somehow going to magically solve this problem. It requires a lot more attention and education."
Chebli, who suggested the required visits in an interview published Sunday in the newspaper Bild am Sonntag, was not immediately available for comment. Nor was it clear whether the German government would move to make such visits mandatory for immigrants, who are currently offered courses on German language, culture and history.
But the suggestion reflected a growing concern that Germany's absorption in recent years of more than 1 million immigrants, many fleeing war and mayhem in the Middle East and Africa, had inadvertently created potential incubators of anti-Semitism in the country most saddled with the legacy of the Holocaust, which killed about 6 million Jews.
Sensitivities about the Nazi past are extremely strong in Germany, one of Israel's strongest supporters. German law includes strict prohibitions on Nazi propaganda and Holocaust denial.
Government authorities have sought to make Germany a safe place for Jews, who number about 200,000 in the country. Despite the recent rise of the nativist far-right Alternative for Germany party and the neo-Nazi tone conveyed by some of its leaders, Germany is still regarded as one of Europe's more tolerant societies.
Student trips to former Nazi concentration camps, where Jews were enslaved and mass-murdered before and during World War II, are regular elements of German school curriculums.
Chebli raised the idea of helping sensitize new immigrants to the history of Nazi crimes — through concentration camp visits — as part of assimilating them into a German society that values tolerance and opposes discrimination.
"I think it would make sense if everyone living in this country would be obliged to visit a concentration camp memorial site at least once in their lifetime," including new arrivals, she was quoted by Bild am Sonntag as saying. "Concentration camp visits should become part of integration courses." Her suggestion came against the backdrop of a perceived rise in anti-Semitic sentiment last month, after President Donald Trump's declaration that the United States government officially considered the contested city of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
A large majority of United Nations member states — including Germany — condemned the U.S. position, which critics called a violation of international law and a new obstacle to resolving the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Participants in protests that erupted in Germany included Arab immigrants, some of them seen burning Israeli flags and heard shouting, "Death to Israel," in what government officials called a hateful display of ignorance.
Germany's justice minister, Heiko Maas, who has advocated for Holocaust education as part of the immigrant assimilation process, said in an interview in Der Spiegel newsmagazine last month that the Jerusalem dispute was no excuse for anti-Semitism.
"Whoever burns Israeli flags burns not only one's decency, but also the values of our constitution," he told Der Spiegel. "Whoever questions Israel's right to exist is standing outside our society."
He also said it should be understood that "whoever attacks Jewish life has to be prosecuted with the full consequence of the constitutional state."

Indirasite: My best friends ever!
the people surrounding. Of course, I exist with someone and with whom I have devoted my life of living, but I definitely say the way of loving and caring is different from the love that they give it to me throughout their core of heart.
They never say anything against my desire and always want my progress, prosperity, comfort, and pleasure from every aspect of life. I can share my pain and pressures with them without and suspect and doubt. I will be guided by their warm love and support and I am there surrounded by them. They always give me moral support, compassion and inspiration to move forward in life. Their experience of life comforts my zone of deserving the life span as what they say; life is full of compromise and sacrifice. I think my mom who devoted her life just for the sake of her children and family keeping aside her thousands of dreams. My sister also followed the same truth, she sacrificed many things for the sake of her children's and did many things for her sibling as a great sister. She also sacrificed many things for the sake of her younger siblings helping their education and much more.
My parent and my sister have been my greatest strength since my childhood. Even I was quite young I was aware that my father was the head of the family who fed us, kept the family moving nicely providing the requirements of family members. I knew my mother loved me so much so, I cried every time sitting beside her whenever she got sick. I scared if my mother would leave the world, I might have left in the street without love and support. Whenever my father came home late, I was worried if something might have happened to him. Now I remembered how the child's mind was dwelled connecting with the role of family and how important was the role of parents during the childhood.
I was the younger sister so I was allowed not to help her to clean dishes, clean house, and cooking food. I was allowed to go with friends because of the rank of my birth. I feel so guilty for letting my sister doing all of the households alone. I didn't think she was having a hard time , but I was taking the privilege of being her youngest sister. She was so calm and lovely as long as I remember she never beat me instead I chased her all around the village to beat her taking the slipper on my hands. She could return back and hit me as she was big enough to do so, but instead of slapping on my cheek, she ran away from me in order to save her from my attack. It was so amazing moment that sometimes leads me to feel so shy and guilty, but that was the time when I was really innocent and thought that I was the princes of my house.
Those are the beautiful moments of my childhood. Since my memory, they are always on my side. They are my best friends ever whom I enjoy spending time with them. They are not the friends for sharing the pain and pressure but also the friends of having fun together. If we three are there together, we don't miss the opportunity of having fun and enjoying the moments. Obviously, I miss my two brothers as well in some horizons but only my concern at this moment is taking my mom and sister where none can replace their place. They are so calm, peace and loving, I hardly have met the people in life who have loved me in that manner to their children and siblings. I don't remember the madness of my mom, she always calls me 'Nani or Sanu' loving words from the parent. I hardly remember she got mad at me during my childhood and don't remember her slap ever. They two are the great creatures in my life. Even I don't forget my father role, he was great to me either and to all other children. I am blessed and thankful having you all wonderful people in my life. Thanks!


You would be lucky to find fans of disparate labels such as Gomma and Direct Beat in the same club, let alone buying the same records. But somehow Holland's BlackLabel have managed to achieve just that. The fantastic, wide-ranging tastes of Dutch DJ and label-boss Kid Goesting are showcased perfectly on this first compilation CD, where '80s electro-pop imitations (such as Roko Dragonbreath's "Jumpin 2 Conclusions" make perfect sense next to darker, more purist wares such as Deflektorz's "Electrobazz."

Strategic initiatives often require leadership team alignment, including the reassignment of roles and responsibilities. This may often include shifting organizational structures to provide additional focus on care delivery areas. This shift may also include the shift in management styles.
Our process for leadership team alignment works on two dimensions – one of which is to create an awareness of leader styles to provide a catalyst for collaboration; and the other to create a common strategic vision for the enterprise.
A critical element for this initiative is to create a common language for the leadership team to use in understanding and evaluating its leadership team effectiveness (individual and collective self-awareness). For this element, we use the Birkman Method assessment tool, which is specifically designed to quantitatively measure behavioral attributes in the work place individually and collectively. We administer the Birkman Method assessment tool to participants in advance of the meeting with the results presented to the group during such.
Through this activity, we are able to advise on leadership team facilitators and barriers toward your strategic objectives. Additional interactions at this level, as well as individual executive coaching, is also available.

Amber's interest lies primarily in performing chamber music, working with composers to premiere their work, and getting the community involved in classical and new music. She has had the opportunity to work with and premiere works by many composers including; Carson Cooman, Hannah Lash, Steve Reich, Alan Tormey, David Gerard Matthews, Chris Massa, Ash Madni, and Ryan Stewart.
Ruth Ann Scanzillo, pianist, is an Erie native. She began her piano studies at the age of 6 under Helena Hoffman of the Erie School of Music, with whom she remained for 7 years, adding one memorable month with studio master Florence Wagner. At age 15, accepting her first opportunity to serve as accompanist with a violin student of Salvatore Cresce, Ms. Scanzillo commenced what would become a lifelong commitment to collaborative piano. After completing the Bachelor of Music in Music Education at SUNY Fredonia in 1981, with a concentration in cello under Dr. Louis Richardson, she continued locally as pianist across various genre, from classical to pop to theater, winning the local S.A.D.I.E. in 1984 as "Fats" Waller for "Ain't Misbehavin' ". In 1989, the late Canadian cellist, Shaun Pomer, provided her debut as professional collaborator in duo recital at Mercyhurst University.
For the past nearly three decades, Ms. Scanzillo has performed as both vocal / instrumental recitalist and rehearsal pianist for faculty, graduating students, and guest artists of Fredonia State University, Edinboro University, and Mercyhurst University; competition accompanist for the Erie Jr. Philharmonic Eiji Oue Concerto Competition, COYO Concerto Competition at Severance Hall, Young Artist's Debut Orchestra Concerto Competition, and the Erie Music Teacher's Scholarship Competition; and, as orchestral pianist/celeste with the Erie Philharmonic, Erie Chamber, and Lake Erie Ballet Orchestras. She credits master pianists Dr. Lucille Richardson, Anne Epperson, and Madeline Bruser for invaluable piano coaching sessions. Her piano trio performances to date have included collaborations with the Chautauqua Amateur Chamber Music Society, the Luther Memorial Concert Series, the Faculty Series at Mercyhurst University, and faculty audition recitals at Fredonia State University.
Currently, Ms. Scanzillo enjoys leading the cello section of the Erie Chamber Orchestra and, as private SAA registered Suzuki cello and violin instructor, both teaching, rehearsing and performing with her studio ensemble, the Erie Suzuki String Chorale. She anticipates devoting the rest of her life to musical collaborations with professionals and students, and joyfully anticipates this evening's performance with her ECO-based friends, colleagues Hilary Phillip and Amber Rogers.


The extraordinary Diet session was ended yesterday as scheduled although the extension of the session was once considered as the opposition parties fiercely protected to deliberate a bill to accept more foreign workers into Japan as well as to revise the Water Supply Act to allow private companies to run municipal water services.

Voting changes undermine American democracy
Credit: reallygoodstuff.com/Craig Sattler
By Newsday Readers March 31, 2021
Democratic legitimacy is determined not by the efficiency of government but by the fairness of the electoral process ["The fight to save voting rights," Editorial, March 21]. Any transformation of the electoral process consequently transforms the government itself.
In my view, mail-in voting revolutionized the electoral process, affecting the institutions of government forever, eroding the legitimacy of American democracy.
America underwent regime change in 2020, not in November but in the months leading into Election Day, not in Washington but in 50 state legislatures. The nationwide transformation of election laws reveals how the people have lost their own government, that their voices do not matter, that they now exist as subjects of a pseudo-democratic mail-in regime that they had no hand in creating. I anticipate some will argue that the ends justify the means, and if it took undermining the electoral process to overcome gridlock and unify government, then it was worth it.
Others will say that mail-in democracy is more free, with more votes and greater representation than ever before. I say the age of American democracy is over. Any transformation of voting procedures should have been made by the people themselves, not by their state legislatures. Americans are now subjects, estranged from a government once their own.
Raymond Janis,
Commack
I can't believe that Republicans are trying to position the For the People Act of 2021 as partisan. The purpose is to make voting easier for all eligible Americans. It sets up automatic voter registration, ensures early voting, including Saturday and Sunday, and allows for "no excuse" mail-in voting. How can anyone object to this? Shouldn't we all want more Americans to vote? Wouldn't it be good for everyone if our elected officials represented the actual majority of Americans?
The fact that Republicans fear this bill is telling. I believe they know their policies do not represent the majority of Americans and are doing their best to suppress the vote in areas where they will be voted against.
Their argument that it's unconstitutional, to me, doesn't hold up upon close examination. While the Constitution allows that states shall "run" elections, it also says that Congress may alter the "times, places and manner" of elections.
The bill passed the House without any Republican support — with both Long Island congressional Republicans, Andrew Garbarino of Bayport and Lee Zeldin of Shirley, voting "no" to making it easier for all eligible Americans to vote. Think about that.
Rosanne Manfredi,
Electoral college should stay as it is
The writer of "National Popular Vote bill should be enacted" [Letters, March 25] may not know why we have an Electoral College vote in the first place. It was established as part of our Constitution at the demand of smaller states at the time (New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, New Hampshire, etc.).
These smaller states feared that the larger states would always control presidential elections and they would essentially have no voice. So they refused to ratify the Constitution. The framers developed the electoral system whereby a candidate could win smaller states, thus evening, to a degree, the weight of smaller states.
This is the same reason why we have a House of Representatives and a Senate. The larger states would have had more congressional representation than the smaller ones and always control Congress. Again, until the Senate had two votes per state, the smaller states refused ratification. The electoral system was put in place for good reason and, to me, is not old-fashioned or out of date. I say it needs to stay.
William McMahon,
Zeldin's actions don't deserve support
When Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) won election in 2014, as one of his constituents, I assumed that he'd be a "normal" Republican. However, this was disproved with Zeldin's almost complete support of former President Donald Trump's policies after 2016. I have always been in favor of better gun control measures. Thus, my dislike increased when he co-sponsored the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act in 2017 and intensified in 2018 when my brother-in-law, an Ohio police officer, was killed by an ex-convict who should not have had access to a gun. In January, I was appalled by Zeldin's actions against certifying the presidential electoral votes ["Certification vote has two sides to the story," Letters, March 18].
The votes had been protested in courts, which unanimously ruled the protests had no validity. The election boards in various locations certified their results, and no fraud was found that would affect the results. Thus, I believe Zeldin's votes showed no respect for our constitutional processes and voting laws and disrespected those electoral boards, the courts, etc. To me, Zeldin should be ashamed of his actions.

Johannes Walter Sluse (; * 14. Januar 1628 in Visé in Belgien; † 16. Juli 1687 in Rom) war ein Kardinaldiakon der Römischen Kirche. Er war ein Bruder des Mathematikers René François Walther de Sluze.

Leben
Nach Studium in Rom übte Sluse verschiedene Funktionen in der römischen Kurie, namentlich am Obersten Gerichtshof der Apostolischen Signatur und als Sekretär der Apostolischen Breve aus. Papst Innozenz XI. ernannte ihn am 2. September 1686 zum Kardinaldiakon der Kirche Santa Maria della Scala in Rom, wo er am 16. Juli des darauffolgenden Jahres 59-jährig verstarb. Seine letzte Ruhestätte fand er in der Kirche Santa Maria dell'Anima in Rom, deren Provisor er war; sein in der dortigen Annenkapelle aufgestelltes Grabdenkmal wurde von Ercole Ferrata geschaffen. Sluse hinterließ eine umfangreiche Bibliothek, deren Katalog 1690 postum von François Deseine unter dem Titel Bibliotheca Slusiana, sive librorum catalogus quos Joannes Gualterus, sanctae romanae Ecclesiae cardinalis, Slusius Leodiensis, sibi Romae congesserat publiziert wurde.

How 6 Dogs Found Their Happily Ever After
Ever wonder what happens to those sad faces on adoption pages of rescue websites? Do the dogs there ever find their happily ever after? Here, meet six dogs who were rescued in terrible conditions (think: sick, stressed, abandoned) but who are now part of wonderful families and living the good life.
1. Chance

Chance came to the Voorhees Animal Orphanage as a stray. He was emaciated, so weak he could barely hold his head up, and very scared. Even after he got better, he was adopted twice and returned to the shelter both times.

Betsey Cichoracki and her boyfriend had gone to the shelter to look at another dog, but that dog didn't get along with cats (Betsey has two) so they got the opportunity to meet Chance and fell in love with him. Chance is now the king of the house (sorry, kitties!), according to his adopter, and he's a big couch potato and goes to work with his dad a couple times a week so he can hang out with the guys.
2. Koko

Koko was dropped off at the Michigan Humane Society with a note that said her owners were moving and they couldn't take her with them. After an examination, the shelter found signs that suggested she had given birth to multiple litters of puppies, leading to the speculation she may have come from a puppy mill.
Koko was about eight years old and had lost all of the hair on her ears due to stress. She was also missing more than half of her teeth and was underweight. Because of her age and the fact she was so scared and withdrawn, her chances for adoption were slim.
Koko After
Summer Stoneburner and her boyfriend walked into the shelter looking for a young dog or a puppy.
"However, fate had a different plan for us," says Stoneburner. "As they say, you don't pick the dog, the dog picks you."
Koko now spends a lot of time on the water (Summer and her boyfriend love boating), sleeps in a warm, comfortable king-sized bed and has a bigger wardrobe than her new mom.
3. Kimo

Kimo was rescued by the SPCA Puerto Vallarta. When he was found roaming the streets, Kimo had mange, was malnourished, and very much terrified and shut down. He also tested positive for Ehrlichia (a tick-borne illness) and heartworm and was covered in ticks.

Canada-based Shannon stumbled upon the SPCA Puerto Vallarta Facebook page and fell in love with Kimo after looking at his pictures. By then, Kimo had been moved to Canada and was being fostered in a suburb of Vancouver. After an application and a very successful meeting, Kimo moved in with Shannon and her husband Rich.
Today, Kimo goes on daily hour-long hikes in the forest with a pack of doggie friends.
"He also loves coming to my office, where I have four staff that fawn all over him and he loves it," says Rich Patterson. Kimo is back to being a healthy dog with no lasting issues.
4. Richie

Richie was rescued from a high-kill shelter in January 2011.
"I saw a photo of him on Facebook, called a rescue and asked if they could pull and transport him," says Bonnie Gayle, Richie's mom. "I got him pulled in the nick of time because he was third in line [to be euthanized] when they called the shelter."
When he arrived to Gayle's home, he was so weak and sickly that he couldn't stand on his own. Richie also had signs of being abused and his fur was matted to the skin.
Richie After
Richie is now a happy, bubbly dog who goes to work with Gayle every day.
"I am a financial coach and people are scared to deal with their money challenges," Gayle says. "I call Richie my therapy dog for those who need some support around money."

After being rescued, Mollie went straight to the injury and illness coordinator at Secondhand Hounds Rescue. She was put into a foster home with Sara, a staff member.
Although Sara had fostered dozens of sick puppies before, she couldn't let Mollie go. After three months of fostering, she officially adopted Mollie. Today, Mollie (who weighs 30 pounds) enjoys cuddling with her human sister, canine sister and brother and running in her fenced-in backyard.

Eleven-year-old Axel was was found as a stray in Kentucky with awful allergies and horribly long nails. With the help of Mobile Mutts (a transport coordination program that bridges the gap between high kill shelters and rescues), he was transported to Minnesota and went into a foster home through Secondhand Hounds.

2016 We Energies Cookie Book one step closer to completion
2016 We Energies Cookie Books on the presses.
The 2016 edition of the We Energies Cookie Book has hit another milestone – printing! While the pages can be printed in about 24 hours, it takes approximately two weeks in the bindery for the books to be bound, boxed and ready for distribution.
This year's book, the Wisconsin Heritage edition, features 38 recipes from special contributors throughout the state – names you may recognize like former Olympian Bonnie Blair, comedian John McGivern and gardening guru Melinda Myers, sharing ideas for cookies that will become family favorites for generations to come.
We'll be distributing Cookie Books at signature events in Milwaukee and Appleton on Nov. 5. Books also will be available at 25 other distribution events throughout our service area in November. You can find the schedule and archive of past Cookie Books online.
First hydroelectric plant was built in Appleton in 1882
Renewable energy has a long history at We Energies. On Sept. 30, 1882, the first hydroelectric plant opened in Appleton, Wisconsin. The plant was conceptualized by H.J. Rogers, president of the Appleton Paper and Pulp Co. and the Appleton Gas Light Co. (later Appleton Edison Light Co.) -- one of our many predecessors.
Vulcan Street Plant
Rogers' company built the Vulcan Street plant on the Fox River, which powered the plant's water wheel and provided enough power to generate 12.5 kilowatts that lit 180 lights, powered Rogers' riverside paper mill and lit his home perched on a bluff overlooking the mill.
Although his spacious home was a Victorian showplace, the hydro plant was little more than a shed. A replica of the plant can be found today on South Oneida Street.
Back in the day of Appleton's first hydro plant, electric bills actually were "light" bills and calculated based on the number of electric lamps in a home or business. The cost was $1.20 a month per lamp -- about $26 in today's dollars. Quite a luxury at the time.
Today, you can light a 10-watt LED bulb for 5 hours a day at a cost of just 20 cents a month.
'A day so rich in respect, dignity and camaraderie': What it's like to be an Honor Flight guardian
Kevin Harrison, electric distribution controller – electric operations at We Energies, volunteered to be a guardian during the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight on Sept. 17. A retired member of U.S. Special Operations Forces himself, who served three tours of duty in Afghanistan as a senior medic from 2005 to 2010, he wrote this summary of the experiences throughout the Honor Flight trip.
Robert "Bob" Schaefer and Kevin Harrison.
From the moment of our departure, escorted by dual P-40 Warhawk 1940-era airplanes, to the parade through General Mitchell Airport upon our return, the 35th Stars and Stripes Honor Flight was chock-full of thoughtful, well-orchestrated and moving activities. The responsibility of serving as guardian for Robert "Bob" Schaefer, an 85-year-old Korean War Army medic, was not a burden, but an honor. Though he never expressed to me the impact of the journey that day, it was apparent on several occasions that he was awed by the experience.
The monuments Bob most wanted to see were the Korean War Veterans Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, but on this day we saw far more than that. Our stops also included the World War II Memorial, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, the Marine Corps War Memorial and the United States Air Force Memorial as we coasted through Washington, D.C., on buses escorted by local police. As we toured all of the memorials, the amount of reverence for these veterans was palpable.
The Changing of the Guard ritual performed by 3rd Infantry Regiment soldiers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was especially impressive in its meticulously coordinated movements. The absolute silence made every movement stand out and added to the chilling effect of the ceremony itself.

Honor Flight on Sept. 17 in front of the Franklin Delano
Roosevelt Memorial.
Every aspect of the journey was well-considered by the organizers, but their great accomplishment was the reception upon returning to Milwaukee. The airport terminal was packed with people who had come to show support for those who had given so much for their nation. It was overwhelmingly powerful for me as much as it was for Bob.
While I was driving Bob home at the end of the day, he was stunned by how many people had shown up to pay homage to the veterans. "How did they get so many people to show up?" he asked, and I replied, "They just told people that there was an opportunity to thank veterans, and all of these people showed up. That is how much your service still means to us."
"Well, it was almost too much," he said.
The journey was especially profound for me, as a veteran myself, looking at Bob make fast friends with the other veterans – the stories shared, the jokes told and, on occasion, the tears shed. As I stood in front of the collected group while they were posing for a group picture, I reflected for a moment on the spirit of service still alive today, and hoped that all veterans could someday be rewarded with a day so rich in respect, dignity and camaraderie.

Employee describes his We Energies Honor Flight experience
Bryan Davis and Harry Schilling
"I am deeply humbled by my experience on the Honor Flight with Harry," said Bryan Davis, supervising electric distribution controller – electric operations, one of two We Energies employees serving as guardians on a recent company-sponsored Stars and Stripes Honor Flight.
The Honor Flight program flies World War II and Korean War veterans, as well as terminally ill veterans from other conflicts, to Washington, D.C., for a day of visiting their memorials.
"Harry" is Harry Schilling, an 88-year-old Korean War veteran who served four years as a Navy aviation mechanic. In spending the day as Schilling's guardian, Davis learned that he enlisted when he was 18. Davis also discovered that Schilling's two older brothers lost their lives in combat during World War II.
Davis said his greatest takeaway from the Sept. 17 trip was a deeper appreciation for sacrifice WWII and Korean War veterans made. "It was a time when the sovereignty of our country was being tested to the limit. When these heroes were called to duty, there was a very good chance that they would never return."
Because Schilling was a Korean War veteran, Davis assumed that the Korean War Memorial would be of greatest interest, but that wasn't the case.
"Harry wanted to spend most of his time at the World War II Memorial. It was evident that (the loss of his brothers) was heavy on his heart throughout the entire trip," said Davis, whose grandfathers also served during WWII.
A powerful experience
Davis noted that, for him, the changing of the guard at Arlington Cemetery was most meaningful. "The last stop at Arlington Cemetery was the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier," Davis said. "This ceremony was extremely powerful and the raw emotion on display from the veterans is something I'll never forget."
We Energies has supported the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight since its inception in 2008. In addition to the company sponsoring the cost of the Sept. 17 flight, employees provided handwritten letters, notes and cards thanking the veterans for their service. More than 150 were distributed – along with letters from the veterans' own family members and friends – during "mail call" on the flight back to Milwaukee.
Davis said he was grateful to be selected as a guardian and to experience the day. "I never served, but I know a lot of people in our company have. This was a chance to serve our veterans and pay my respects."
We Energies' other guardian on the flight was Kevin Harrison, electric distribution controller – electric operations. "I hold great esteem for those who have served but especially those who served in World War II and Korea, given the comparisons between warfare then and warfare now," he said. "It is amazing and humbling to consider what past veterans endured in service to our country."
Why we charge a fee for certain types of bill payments
For customer convenience, we offer many ways for customers to pay their energy bills -- online, phone, mail, automatic withdrawal and in person. Some are free and some have processing fees.
Many customers choose to pay with a credit or debit card, and that's one of the payment methods that involves a processing fee, which is $2.95. We often hear from customers who point out that other businesses don't charge for credit or debit card transactions and that we shouldn't either.
Why we charge a fee
Whenever a company accepts credit or debit card payments from customers, there is a cost, typically a percentage of the payment amount that the company must pay to the card company. Most companies just add those costs to their products and services, which are then paid by all customers regardless of how they pay.
In short, we cannot spread those costs among all customers because state regulators don't allow it. Fairness is the reason. Customers who pay via other methods shouldn't have to help pay the processing fees of others who choose credit or debit card payments.
The fees go to our payment processor (BillMatrix), card companies, processing banks and banks that issued the cards. We receive no part of the fee.
How to pay without a fee
Avoiding a fee is easy -- just register for My Account, which allows you to pay online on our secure site. My Account also offers other benefits, including due date reminders, payment history, personalized money-saving tips and more.

See our historic headquarters during Doors Open Milwaukee
Few buildings are still standing from the early 20th century, and even fewer have the history and grandeur of our Public Service Building (PSB) in downtown Milwaukee. This weekend, you can get a rare glimpse inside our historic headquarters during Doors Open Milwaukee.
The PSB was built in 1902 as a central station for The Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company (TMER&L), a predecessor of We Energies. Milwaukee's original streetcars operated out of the building. Trains entered from Second Street, picked up their passengers, and then exited onto Third Street. At one point, the building was the largest interurban railway terminal in the United States.
The PSB was designed in a neoclassical, Beaux-Arts style which was very popular in the early 20th century. The four-story building is an architectural treasure, both outside and within. In the early days of the building, the second floor featured facilities for entertainment including an auditorium, bowling alley, library, billiard room and barber shop. The auditorium still is used today as a corporate meeting space.
As visitors approach the PSB, they usually take note of the operating clock above the main entrance. Inside, attention is drawn to the marble lobby walls that came from an Italian quarry and include a curious architectural detail: a stained-glass window depicting a swarm of bees buzzing around a hive.
"When people first walk in the door, their mouths drop open at the sight of the lobby," said Tim Brown, We Energies' coordinator for the event. "We have received positive feedback every year since we started participating in Doors Open Milwaukee. We are happy to show this architectural gem to the community, which would not normally have access to it."
The PSB was remodeled many times over the years to accommodate the needs of its occupants, but in 1996, the company completed a grand effort to restore the building to its original glory while also expanding and modernizing office space. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The PSB will open its doors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 18. Visitors are invited to tour the lobby and auditorium, and also can attend a presentation about the building and company history.
We Energies Honor Flight flies this Saturday
We're proud to again partner with Stars and Stripes Honor Flight (SSHF) for the organization's 35th mission to Washington, DC. We Energies is sponsoring a flight this Saturday for 88 local WWII and Korean War veterans as they head to our nation's capital to see their memorials.
"We've supported this special program, the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight, since it began in 2008, and we are especially proud to have sponsored this flight," said Kevin Fletcher, president of We Energies.
24 WWII veterans and 60 Korean War veterans will be on Saturday's flight, along with four terminally ill Vietnam War veterans. Each veteran will travel with a guardian who will serve as a trained companion during the journey. Two We Energies employees will serve as guardians on the trip, including Kevin Harrison, a former member of U.S. Special Operations Forces who served three tours of duty in Afghanistan.
"I look forward to the opportunity in front of me," said Harrison, an electric distribution controller. "I hold great esteem for those who have served, but especially those who served in WWII and Korea, given the comparisons between warfare then, and warfare now. It is amazing and humbling to consider what past veterans endured in service to our country."
Our employees and their family members wrote letters
to veterans.
We Energies has supported several Honor Flights. Our employees are again writing letters to veterans who will be on board the flight. Veterans will participate in "mail call" where they receive letters from family, friends, and even strangers. We've collected more than 160 letters to be handed out.
"Mail call is one of the most powerful moments of the entire Honor Flight day," said Karyn Roelke of Stars and Stripes Honor Flight. "Our veterans can't stop smiling through their tears as they read the letters. They take the mail home and then read and re-read the letters, over and over again. Recently, we were even told of an Honor Flight veteran who asked to be buried with his mail call letters."
'Iron women' of We Energies to compete in world championship triathlon
Mary Joy Hubbs surrounded by her fitness class students at We Energies.
For Mary Joy Hubbs, fitness is a way of life. She's a longtime fitness instructor and teaches classes at our corporate headquarters in downtown Milwaukee. Outside the company gym, she's an accomplished triathlete as well.
On Sept. 15, she'll be competing with the world's best at the International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Championships in Cozumel, Mexico.
"I want to embrace the moment because it's going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me," said Hubbs, who had to qualify to compete in the ITU Age-Group Sprint World Championship where she'll swim 750 meters in the Caribbean Sea, bike 20K, then run 5K.
Her impressive times at Milwaukee-area triathlons put her in contention for a top-10 finish in her 60-64 age group.
"I'm just ready to go," said Hubbs. "I really feel ready!"
Chris Wodke competing
for Team USA in Oklahoma.
She's not the only person from We Energies headed to Cozumel. Chris Wodke, a manager in our Power Generation unit, also is competing in a different event. The veteran marathoner will compete in the aquathlon, running 2.5K, swimming 1K, then running another 2.5K. She qualified at the Aquathlon National Championships in Oklahoma last year to earn her Team USA spot.
"This is my second World Championship race and my third time racing for Team USA," said Wodke. "I am really proud to wear the US uniform, and it is so fun to talk to the other athletes."
As if the aquathlon isn't enough, Wodke also decided to enter the open age-group sprint triathlon two days before her "official" race.
Good luck, iron women!

Its for PS and AI, but you can use the included png's and convert them to a Gimp .pat file yourself.
Gimp can use PNG directly as patterns.

what is the benefit of a .pat file then ?
1) That way since 2.6 I think.
2) The only one I can think of is that the name shown in the Patterns list is not limited by filename constraints. Double-edge sword anyway, since it can be hard to determine from which file comes a given pattern. in this case..

The Travelling Trekkies: Supanova Melbourne, March 6 – 8 2020
AnnaZey thas-Nan / The Travelling Trekkies / Region 11, Supanova, The Travelling Trekkies, USS Southern Cross /
Missy and I travelled south to see our colleagues on the USS Southern Cross also assigned to Region 11 to see them at Supanova, a convention that has events all over Australia, and as you can see from the report from their Commanding Officer, we took them more than a little by surprise.
The USS Southern Cross dropped out of warp following a protracted and arduous journey. We made orbit around a planet so we could watch a newly formed Supanova in the system of Melbourne. As captain, I had made the decision that I would personally lead this away mission and leave my XO in the centre chair. We would install sensor equipment on the planet to study the effects of a Supanova on this unhabituated planet.
But unbeknownst to myself or any of the Crosses crew. We had visitor's hours earlier a Starfleet vessel had already arrived and had made obit on the other side of the planet. The USS Animus had also intercepted the Supanova expedition. But had been summoned away to help with an emergency. The two crewmembers that's had gone down by shuttle was indeed a welcome surprise once we landed ourselves. They had a long-range shuttle and had also begun to install sensor equipment. I had contacted the USS Animus's CO Captain Ross Manuel and informed him that it would be the USS Southern Cross's honour to collaborate on this and that we would rendezvous with the USS Animus in forty-eight hours. The Supanova shock wave wasn't expected for a good nine days. So, Lt Commander AnnaZey thas-Nan and Lt Commander MistHrey ses-Var became guests of the USS Southern Cross.

It is one thing entirely to say that the most popular past time of the residents of Region 11 is sport. So when the threat of Global Pandemic from Covid-19, and it was no different.
On March 15, 2020, when I joined my CO, Commander Ross Manuel of the USS Animus on the occasion of the last game of the Super Rugby men's rugby union international club competition.
The game was between the NSW Warratahs and the Plus500 Brumbies of the Australian Capital Territory. This would be considered an Animus local derby as both teams operate within our patrol sector.
It's exciting watching Human sports, we don't have this kind of warmth or athletic displays on Andoria. though it was encouraging to see that the local authorities where regularly encouraging social distancing and the application of proper hand hygiene.
While as an Andorian I am immune to the Novel Covid-19 infection, I recommend all sentients to exercise effective hand hygiene and adhere to all instructions from health agencies.
Though the CO expected the outcome, that the team he supports the Waratahs were unlikely to emerge victorious considering their past performance this tournament, he was not expecting the outcome to be 47-14 in the favour of the Brumbies.
It made for a quiet ride back to the Animus.
I didn't want to mention to him that I always appreciated Terran horses.

The Travelling Trekkies: The Australian War Memorial Mar 9, 2020
AnnaZey thas-Nan / The Travelling Trekkies / Australian War Memorial, Region 11, The Travelling Trekkies, USS Animus /
For our first away mission, Missy and I visited the Australian War Memorial, located in Canberra, Australia, which is in the patrol area of the USS Animus of Region 11.
Me outside the front of the Australian War Memorial
The Australian War Memorial is a national memorial to the members of its armed forces and supporting organisations who have died or participated in wars involving the Commonwealth of Australia, and some conflicts involving personnel from the Australian colonies prior to Federation. The memorial includes an extensive national military museum. The Australian War Memorial was opened in 1941 and is widely regarded as one of the most significant memorials of its type in the world.
Missy outside the Memorial
It contains one of the worlds largest mosaics with over six million individual tiles and is the largest stone structure in the Southern Hemisphere. It's one part shrine, one part museum and one part research centre.
It's incredibly humbling to be on the grounds of what so many in Australian society consider to be their most sacred space, as it not only serves as the Museum, Shrine and Research Centre, but for 102,000 of the 102,888 names on the Roll of Honour, it serves as a defacto grave, as it was not until the Vietnam War, that Australian service personnel were repatriated back to Australia for burial, so this building served for most of its 79 years as a place for family members to pay their respects to their fallen.
© USS Animus 2023
The USS Animus acknowledges the traditional custodians of country throughout our patrol sector. We recognise their continuing connection to land, sea and waters. We pay our respects to the elders past and present of the Ngunnawal, Gundungurra, Ngarigo and Wiradjuri peoples whose land we operate within.
