The two floors added to this 1950s building on Pâquis Street necessarily transformed its image: the difference between old and new is clearly expressed. The added volume consists of a wooden frame supported by tree trunks. On the new façade, the windows develop like a Chinese folding screen, contrasting with the flatness of the building below. The top-floor loft, organized around an earth made wall that acts as a thermal and hygrothermal regulator, is designed for exemplary environmental performance.

Ottawa's real estate market will remain a 'sellers market' in 2021: Re/Max
Josh Pringle Digital Multi-Skilled Journalist
@PringleJosh Contact
Published Wednesday, December 2, 2020 3:06PM EST
A for sale sign displays a sold home in a development, in Ottawa, on July 6, 2015. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick)
OTTAWA -- Ottawa home prices are expected to rise seven per cent in the new year, with the hottest neighbourhoods being Orleans, Barrhaven and Kanata-Stittsville.
In its "Ottawa Housing Market Outlook (2021)" report released this week, Re/Max says Ottawa's housing market currently favours sellers, "thanks to low housing inventory and high demand."
"These conditions are expected to persist in 2021."
Re/Max reports the average sale price of a home in Ottawa was $524,956 in the first ten months of this year, up 19 per cent from 2019.
Ottawa's luxury home market has seen a "large spike" in demand this year, largely driven by move-up buyers.
Toronto saw a 12 per cent increase in the average home price in the first 10 months of this year, Vancouver home prices increased 11 per cent and Kitchener-Waterloo home prices jumped 18.9 per cent.
In Eastern Ontario, Re/Max reports home prices in Kingston increased 11 per cent in the January to October period, while home prices jumped 15 per cent in Cornwall.
"Looking ahead to 2021, RE/MAX expects Ottawa homes to see average prices increase seven per cent to approximately $561,702 across all property types," said Re/Max.
"Inventory levels are expected to improve in 2021, causing days on the market to increase as well."
Re/Max says upcoming developments in Orleans, Barrhaven and Kanata/Stittsville are expected to keep those areas in highest demand in 2021.
"Unlike pre-COVID buying, buyers are now less concerned with longer commute times in order to find a property that meets their priorities," said Re/Max.
The Re/Max "Housing Market Outlook" for 2021 predicts the average cost of buying a new home in Cornwall will increase 10 per cent in 2021, and 10 per cent in Kingston.

The case against the accused Burnette Chapel Church shooter
by: Jessica Jaglois
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Emanuel Samson's trial will likely start Monday. His case is sealed but News 2 knows several pieces of evidence that prosecutors plan to use to convict.
The case against 27-year-old Emanuel Samson begins with a letter that Metro Police said he wrote before he drove to Burnette Chapel Church in Antioch on September 24, 2017.
In the letter, Samson said he was seeking revenge for the 2015 shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston.
Dylan Roof was convicted for shooting and killing nine people and was sentenced to death.
Davidson County prosecutors said they would not seek the death penalty for Samson.
Samson was indicted March 2018 on 42 charges including first-degree murder, aggravated assault and civil rights intimidation.
29-year-old Melanie Crow Smith was killed in the parking lot of Burnette Chapel minutes before service ended.
Samson is accused of then going into the sanctuary, shooting six other people and pistol-whipping a seventh person.
A church usher was able to stop Samson and hold him until police arrived.
"After I ducked between the pews, I kind of popped up and looked, and I seen him walking back towards the exit," said Robert Engle in court in October 2017. "As soon as I did, his back was toward me. I walked up to him, and grabbed his arm, trying to turn him around towards me. That was when he hit me in the head with the butt of his weapon."
On January 29, 2017 – months before the shooting – Samson's ex-girlfriend dialed 911 saying he was throwing her stuff, scratched her arm and that she feared he would hurt himself.
About two months later, Samson dialed 911 saying his ex was trying to get into his home.
"She was beating on my door," Samson told Murfreesboro dispatchers on March 11, 2017. "I opened the door and she tried to force her way in here. I let her know that she wasn't welcomed and I didn't want to see her and what not and she said, she was yelling and cursing stating that she doesn't care if I called the cops or what not."
Charges were not filed in either case.
Two months before the church shooting, Samson's father went to Murfreesboro Police and reported that his son was suicidal and may be trying to attempt suicide.
He also told police he didn't think his son should have access to guns.
Samson has pleaded not guilty. The DA's office is seeking life without the possibility for parole.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) -- After a week-long in court, a verdict was expected in the Jason Williams' rape trial, but instead it was a mistrial.
News 2 has been covering this story since it began in 2017. We were even on scene when Williams was found and arrested after a manhunt last year.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) -- According to Murfreesboro Police, five individuals overdosed on either heroin, fentanyl, opioids and other unknown substances from from July 12 to July 16.
Police say first responders were called to Louise Court before midnight after 32-year-old man was found and struggling to breathe on July 12. Officials reportedly found a needle cap nearby and say the man admitted to "shooting up fentanyl."

The Painted Truck (22 minutes)
A film by Judy & Stanley Hallet & Sebastian Schroeder
The Painted Truck documents the repainting of an old International Harvester truck. Its metal panels are redecorated with images of winged horses, paradise gardens and mountain highway passes. The newly painted truck leaves Kabul for a two-day trip to Bamiyan in the Central part of Afghanistan. We meet the owner of the truck, the driver and the assistant driver called the cleanar. He hangs out the back of the truck with a "danda panj" or wooden wedge used to hold the truck from slipping backwards on steep mountain roads.
Reflections (11 minutes)
Directed by Georgios Dimitropoulos
Vincent De Paul is a US film producer who embarks on a spiritual journey throughout Europe, seeking inspiration and enlightenment on his way. He visits the beautiful Gower Peninsula in Wales, and is instantly drawn to the essence of Wales, it's beautiful beaches, craggy rocks and ruined castles. The film draws us back to imagine life in Weobley Castle for Sir Rhys Thomas and his wife Efa, over 500 years ago. It is a story about their true love, its tenacity and survival, rather than gruesome aspects of war.
The Charles Effect (10 minutes)
Directed by Theodore Adams, III
Charles Jones is a participant in an experiment to see if people living on the autistic spectrum (neuro-diverse) can use their special gifts to offer alternative solutions to challenges in the medical field. From his perspective, everyone he has not made a personal connection with are seen as children. He has always found it difficult, if not outright painful, to express his ideas. He wants to contribute, but there is always a breakdown in communication that he cannot seem to overcome. He must step out of his own world or an important medical breakthrough will be lost in his silence.
Late Afternoon (10 minutes)
Directed by Louise Bagnall
Academy Award nominee Late Afternoon is an Irish animated short film directed by Louise Bagnall and produced by Cartoon Saloon. The film is about an elderly woman coping with dementia as she relives her memories of the past. Emily must look to her past so that she may fully connect with the present.

Can a Feature be about more than one individual?
Certainly. We write Features about anniversaries or weddings, for example.
When will I receive my Feature?

That being said, for our Classic option, we guarantee your Feature will be shipped out five business days from the day of your last interview, and our Custom option will be shipped out 10 business days from the day of your last interview. The guarantee does not include shipping time.
What if I don't like my Feature?
We are sorry to hear that. If you would like to work with a FeatureMe writer to change any part of your Feature, please consider purchasing our Premium option.
If that is unavailable to you, we offer a 50-percent refund (we cannot refund our writer's time crafting your Feature).
Instead of phone interviews, can I opt for e-mail interviews?
Yes. If a person or persons don't feel comfortable speaking with one of our writers, they can let us know by responding to their confirmation email with the subject line "Request for e-mail interview." We will respond with a link to the e-mail questionnaire.
Can I reschedule my phone interview?
Yes. We understand last-minute things come up. In your e-mail confirming your interview time, there is a link toward the bottom that you can click to reschedule. We allow you to reschedule up to two hours prior to your scheduled interview.

What Is a Mental Health Crisis?
Medically reviewed by Matthew Boland, PhD — By Jamie Elmer on March 2, 2022
Emergency vs. crisis
Crisis signs
How to help someone else
The signs of a mental health crisis differ from person to person. Still, there are ways you can be ready in an emergency.
CACTUS Creative Studio/Stocksy United
A mental health crisis is when someone's behaviors prevent them from functioning or indicate they might harm themselves or others.
A crisis can feel overwhelming, and it might seem as if the coping skills you usually have no longer work.
Psychiatric crises and emergencies are unique to the person, but they can look similar in how a person experiences and behaves during the crisis.
Many people are unable to take care of themselves, have worsened symptoms of preexisting mental health conditions, and threaten or attempt self-harm.
Though untreated mental health conditions can lead to a crisis, it's a misconception that this is the only time they occur. Things happen — mental health crises can occur in people without a diagnosed mental health condition and in people following a treatment plan.
Are you currently in crisis?
If you feel like you're having a mental health emergency, you can:
Call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 for English and Spanish
Chat with professionals at Lifeline Chat
Text "HOME" to the Crisis Text Line at 741741
Check out Befrienders Worldwide or Suicide Stop if you're not in the United States and need to find your country's crisis hotline
If you decide to call an emergency number like 911, ask the operator to send someone trained in mental health, like Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) officers.
What's the difference between a mental health emergency and a crisis?
There's some disagreement over whether there's a difference between a "mental health emergency" and a "mental health crisis," but most people use these terms interchangeably.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) uses the terms "crisis" and "emergency" with the same meaning in its detailed guide to navigating a crisis. Many others (including Psych Central) follow suit.
Others define a mental health emergency as a life threatening situation in which someone is a danger to themselves or others, while a crisis is non-life-threatening, but the person is still severely distressed. Some others say an emergency is someone attempting suicide, while a crisis is someone thinking about or planning suicide.
Whether you call it a "mental health emergency," "crisis," or "mental breakdown," people having these experiences need immediate support.
Any threat or attempt of suicide or self-harm is a mental health crisis and a medical emergency.
How do you know whether you're having a mental health crisis?
The reasons for your mental health crisis — just like your mental health — are unique to you. What a crisis is for one person might not be for another.
Some signs that you might be having a mental health crisis include:
difficulty in functioning or being unable to function (e.g., it's hard to get out of bed, go to work, or do daily tasks)
having challenges or an inability to take care of your hygiene, such as brushing your teeth, changing clothes, and bathing
intense or sudden changes in mood
psychosis such as hallucinations or delusions
feeling increasingly agitated, angry, or violent
suicidal thoughts or making plans
harming yourself or self-medicating
isolating or withdrawing from others
In most cases, these signs and behavioral changes are severe.
If you already live with a mental health condition, these symptoms could sound like the status quo for you. The key is to figure out what your "normal" is so you can understand what being in a crisis means and when you need to reach out for support.
According to the American Psychological Association (APA), the most common sign of crisis is "a clear and abrupt change in behavior."
So when your behaviors and moods are not typical for you, that might mean you're approaching or are in crisis.
What causes a mental health crisis?
Like the signs of a mental health crisis, the causes of a crisis are also unique.
Something that leads to a crisis in one person might not in someone else. This is commonly seen in how different people respond and cope in natural disasters or losing loved ones.
Many potential stressors might contribute to a crisis, including:
traumatic event
changes in relationships (e.g., a divorce or breakup)
feeling alone or like you don't have a support system
switching or stopping mental health treatments
losing a job or failing a class
natural disaster, violence, or terrorism
According to 2021 research, specific people might be more likely to experience a mental health crisis, including:
people who've had economic losses
those with preexisting conditions
people living in crowded environments
A 2015 research review noted that some people with severe mental health conditions might not have strong coping mechanisms. When exposed to excessive stress, the coping tools they have might break down, leading to crisis.
What do you do in a mental health crisis?
If you believe you're in crisis — whether or not you're experiencing thoughts of suicide — you deserve help and support. You're not a burden. Your mental health matters.
There are many crisis intervention services, but where you live might affect your options.
If you need support right away but aren't sure about your options, you can call or text a crisis hotline or chat online. You can find a full list of crisis resources here.
go to a walk-in psychiatric urgent care center
if you have one, call your mental health professional if it's during their working hours or they have a line for emergencies
go to an urgent care or emergency room
call 911 if you believe you or someone else is in immediate danger
If there's someone you trust to support you, you may also want to call them. They can help you make arrangements or look for services, whether in person or on the phone.
If you're worried about being hospitalized, you don't have to be. While a hospital stay can be helpful for a crisis, some people fear the stigma of being "committed" or fear the financial consequences. People are usually hospitalized if they're an immediate danger to themselves or others. So if you're in crisis but not in danger, there are outpatient and telehealth options that can get you support while you remain at home.
If you call 911, try to be as clear as possible why you're calling. Unless you know your county has a crisis intervention team, your area may not have professionals trained in handling mental health concerns. If you do need to call 911, you'll want to tell the operator clearly that it's a mental health crisis so officers can know to come with deescalation in mind.
What does treatment look like?
Crisis treatments will vary depending on your symptoms, medical history, and even the availability of services. Typically, treatments involve a combination of medication, individual and group therapy, and learning tools and skills to help you support yourself.
Where you get treated also depends on your condition and the severity of the crisis. You might get treated at:
an outpatient facility you go to during the day
an inpatient psychiatric unit (that may also be called residential care)
an emergency room
How long you stay in a hospital or program will depend on if your stay is voluntary, involuntary, or part of an emergency hold (typically 72 hours in the United States).
With any crisis intervention, the aim is to set up an aftercare plan that will help you get back to your daily life and prevent a recurrence or crisis situation in the future.
How to help someone else in a crisis
If you believe someone you know is in crisis, you might feel pretty freaked out, depending on the circumstances. It's important to remain calm (or at least pretend to be for them) and figure out the type of support they need.
You can first start by asking yourself if they're a danger to themselves or others. This can help you figure out whom to call.
According to NAMI, the goal in a crisis is to de-escalate. There are several techniques you can try:
Stay calm. Speaking calmly without raising your voice can help avoid inciting further panic. You'll also want to avoid arguing with them or overreacting. NAMI even recommends that you move slowly.
Listen. Listening can help you figure out what they need and understand their current symptoms.
Ask how you can help. Expressing support and concern can help them feel like they're not alone, especially if you're not with them in person. See what you can do for them, but understand that they may not be in a state of mind to know what they need, so you may need to be specific. For example, you might ask, "Do you need me to call someone for you?" or "Do you need a ride to the hospital?"
Offer them options. Though you may feel as if you need to take control of the situation, someone might get overwhelmed by that. So instead, you'll want to offer them options and be patient.
Give them space. You don't want them to feel trapped or boxed in. You'll also want to avoid touching them until they give you permission.
If there's ever a point when you don't feel safe, it's important to leave the location immediately. You can still ensure they get the help they need while you remain safe.
The reasons for a mental health crisis can be unique to the person. What a mental health crisis looks like and how it's treated will also vary from person to person.
According to the World Health Organization, there's been a 13% increase in mental health conditions in the past decade. In people ages 15 to 29 years old, suicide is the second leading cause of death.
Understanding what mental health emergencies look like and how to seek help can make a difference. You can make a difference.
If you want to be prepared, creating a mental health crisis plan to prevent a situation from escalating and having resources within immediate reach can be valuable. Here's a how-to guide to create your own crisis plan.

An Act respecting the release of information, garnishment of moneys payable by Her Majesty in right of Canada and denial of licences in relation to family orders.
A review of the proposed changes to Part 1 of FOAAEA reveals a definite expansion of possible use of the Act as well as new provisions that protect parties in cases where violence is a risk.
The summary to the bill includes a statement that the amendments proposed for FOAEAA are to, among other things, (a) allow the release of information to help obtain and vary a support provision; and (b) expand the release of information to other provincial family justice government entities.
In the current Act, the federal government provides a vehicle for release of information from certain federal data banks to provincial/territorial enforcement bodies, and police officers.
Bill C-78 includes new provisions outlining procedures and obligations when the person making the application for the release of information is an individual rather than a provincial enforcement agency or a peace officer. In addition, it expands the use of this part of Act to include not only the need to enforce a breach of a family provision but also to seek to obtain or vary a support provision.
"Family provision" is changed to mean "a support provision, a parenting provision, a contact provision, a custody provision or an access provision.
"Parenting provision" is defined as "a provision in an order made under subsection 16.1(1) or (2) of the Divorce Act of a provision of a similar nature in an order made under provincial law.
Bill C-78 replaces a large part of Part 1 of the current Act and provides particular rules for applications for release of information, with specific sections that pertain to applications made by an Individual, and separate provisions that pertain to by a peace officer who is investigating a child abduction under section 282 or 283 of the Criminal Code, or a provincial enforcement service, a provincial child support service, a "designated authority" or a central authority responding to a request for assistance made under a convention that is prescribed by the regulations, or to obtain assistance with the processing of an application made under a convention.
Any person or body seeking information must ask the court to authorize an official of the court to make the formal application to the Minister of Justice for the release of information. The court application may be brought ex parte. The proposed changes set out specific conditions that must be fulfilled before the application is to be successful.
(2) an affidavit that states the following: (i) that the sole purpose of the application is to obtain information for the establishment or variation of a support provision, (ii) outline if there is any court order, agreement, undertaking or recognizance or any other document of a similar nature that restricts the applicant's communication or contact with the other person or child who may be subject of the support provision or if there is a proceeding respecting such a provision (iii) state whether or not the applicant has caused or attempted to cause physical harm to the person, child/ren or caused them to fear for their safety or security or that of another person, and (iv) state whether or not the applicant has charged with or been found guilty of an offence against the other person or child/ren.
(2) an affidavit that states the following: (i) that the sole purpose of the application is to enforce the family provision, (ii) outline if there is any court order, agreement, undertaking or recognizance or any other document of a similar nature that restricts the applicant's communication or contact with the other person or child who may be subject of the support provision or if there is a proceeding respecting such a provision (iii) state whether or not the applicant has caused or attempted to cause physical harm to the person, child/ren or caused them to fear for their safety or security or that of another person, and (iv) state whether or not the applicant has been charged with or found guilty of an offence against the person, child or child/ren.
Under section 10 the court may make an order in writing authorizing an official of the court to make an application seeking release of information to the Minister of Justice ( which is made under the provisions of section 12 of the Act) if the court is satisfied that that sole purpose of the application is to obtain information for the establishment or variation of a support provision or for the enforcement of a family provision, that the order is not likely to jeopardize the safety or security of any person, and in the case of an ex parte application, that reasonable steps have been taken to locate the person, child or children (as the case may be).
Once the order is granted, an official who is authorized to do so under section 10, may apply to the Minister to have the information banks searched.
There is no current indication who that "official" may be; regulations will likely provide details.
Under the new section 12.1, the Minister will only release the information to an individual making an ex parte application if the Minister has first sent to the other person (whose information is being sought) a copy of the Order that authorizes the application along with a notice informing them that information will be released. However, there is an exception to this requirement: under section 11 the court may order that the Minister shall not send to the other person a copy of the order and the notice.
The confidentiality of the information is protected by new section 13 which states that the official who receives the information shall give the information to the court that granted the authorization, and the information shall be sealed and kept in a location to which the public has no access. However, the section also states that for the purpose of establishing or varying a support provision or enforcing a family provision, the court may disclose the information to any person, service or body, or official of the court that it considers appropriate. The court may also make an order necessary to protect the confidentiality of the information.
The process for the search of the information banks is set out in sections 17 to 22: on receipt of the application the Minister shall immediately transmit a search request for information to the directors of the various information banks. Under subsection 17(2) of the proposed changes, the Minister may transmit a search request on the Minister's own initiative for the purpose of locating a person named in a request for assistance made under a convention prescribed by the regulations, or to locate a person named in an application made under a convention prescribed by the regulations.
All information obtained during the search shall be sent by the information bank director to the Minister. The Minister shall release the information to the applicant under section 19.1 with the proviso contained in section 20 that the information will be released to an applicant who is a provincial enforcement service, provincial child support service, designated authority or central authority only if the province of that specific application has entered into an agreement under section 3 and safeguards provided for in the agreement are in place.
Under section 22, as in the current Act, regulations may be made, including for the purpose of prescribing the information that must be contained in an application for the release of information, and prescribing the time and manner in which an application for the searching of information banks and the release of information may be made, designating the information banks that may be searched, setting out the time and manner in which searches for information are to be conducted and prescribing the information that is released to an applicant, which information may vary according to the applicant to whom the information is released.
It should be noted that in 2018 a Regulation3 under the current Act was amended to provide updated information that can be released to include (a) information banks controlled by the Department of Employment and Social Development, namely, Canada Pension Plan Record of Earnings, Canada Pension Plan — Retirement, Disability, Survivors and Death Benefits (individual), International Social Security — Domestic and Foreign Benefits — Computer Master Benefit Data, and Employment Insurance Program Investigation. Documents that could be release include, Record of Employment (Third Copy), Benefit and Overpayment File and Social Insurance Number Register, as well as information both individual tax returns and payment processing and business number and program account registration information in the possession of CRA.
Given the proposed expansion of use of the application under the bill, it is hopeful that the regulations under revised Act would include at least these specific banks.
Bill C-78 also provides changes to the Act as it relates to permitting the garnishment of federal monies to recover certain expenses related to family law including extension of the binding period of a garnishment summons. Those changes will be reviewed in a subsequent article.

Back and Better Than Ever: Careers that Took Off Post-Surgery
UCL injuries were once career-ending, but with Tommy John surgery many have returned to the game. We look at exceptional players who had, or continue to experience, excellent careers after the procedure.
Tommy John surgery, named for the pitcher who first underwent the procedure, is a fairly common method of reconstructing a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in the elbow using a tendon from somewhere else in the body or from a donor. Pitchers are the most common recipient, but it's becoming more common for position players with ligament damage, too. Over a thousand baseball players have undergone Tommy John, and while UCL injuries were once career-ending, with the surgery many have returned to the game. Below is a list of exceptional players who had, or continue to experience, excellent careers after the procedure.
John Smoltz – U.S.Air Force photo/Don Peek / Public domain
Smoltz was the first player inducted to the Hall of Fame following Tommy John surgery. He began his career as a starting pitcher, notching 157 wins a 3.35 ERA from 1988 to 1999 with a Cy Young win in 1996 before Tommy John surgery caused him to miss the entire 2000 season.
Upon his return to the Atlanta Braves in 2001, he transitioned from the starting rotation to the bullpen as a closer. In 2002, Smoltz recorded an MLB record 55 saves, met by fellow Tommy John recipient Éric Gagné but never broken. The Braves slotted him back into the rotation in 2005, where he posted a 3.22 ERA over the next three seasons and led the National League in wins in 2006 (16). Four of his eight All-Star appearances occurred post-surgery and Smoltz retired in 2010 as the only pitcher to have recorded 200 wins and 150 saves over the course of a career.

Drafted by the New York Mets in the ninth round in 2010, deGrom underwent Tommy John surgery in October 2010 while in Rookie ball. Essentially, his entire pro career is post-surgery.
He made his major league debut in 2014 and was awarded the National League Rookie of the Year for his performance, notching nine wins with a 2.69 ERA and 144 strikeouts over 140 innings. deGrom is the only starter to win Cy Young after surgery, and he has won the award twice, in '18 and '19. He is a three-time All-Star ('15, '18, '19) and had registered league-leading tallies for ERA (1.70) and home runs per nine innings (0.4) in 2018, and strikeouts (255) in 2019. He also holds the record for straight stars allowing 3 runs or fewer (30) and for consecutive strikeouts to start a game (8). In March 2019, deGrom signed a five-year, $137.5m contract with the Mets.

Representing the Washington Nationals' prized first-round draft pick in 2009, agent Scott Boras negotiated Strasburg a $7.5m signing bonus for a total of $15m before he had set foot in the pros. Strasburg's 2010 debut was one of the most highly anticipated from a starting pitcher.
In his first major league start, he went seven innings and struck out a team record fourteen batters with no walks and two earned runs. He would last 12 starts until he tore his UCL and had surgery on September 3, 2010. Almost a year to the day, Strasburg returned and has since been one of the most dominant pitchers in the game. He is a three-time All-Star ('12, '16, '17), has led the league in wins ('19), strikeouts ('14), and pitched an immaculate inning ('19) on his way to the 2019 World Series MVP. Strasburg has a career record of 112 wins to 58 losses and is currently the most dominant pitcher in the postseason with a playoff ERA of 1.46. The Nationals have Strasburg under contract (seven years, $245m) through 2026.
Shohei Ohtani

"Sho Time" Ohtani is the only player on this list with a somewhat unknown Tommy John result, but his potential is so high that he deserves to be included.
Following his 2018 Rookie of the Year campaign with the Los Angeles Angels, he underwent Tommy John surgery on October 1. His first MLB season ended with numerous accomplishments, including being the first player since Babe Ruth to hit 20 home runs and appear in 10 pitching appearances, and becoming the second fastest Angels rookie to reach 20 home runs.
Ohtani returned to the majors on May 7, 2019 as a designated hitter. He hit for the cycle on June 13 against the Rays and finished his comeback 2019 season batting .286/.343/.505 with 18 home runs, 62 RBI and 12 stolen bases.
Angels manager Joe Maddon has indicated that he intends to keep Ohtani in the rotation and in the designated hitter role, despite having not throwing a live inning since returning from Tommy John. Ohtani is a player to watch with a powerful arm, ability to hit for power and for average, and an above-average 3.8 seconds home to first speed. He's arguably one of baseball's rising stars and could become the most dangerous two-way weapon in the league if he stays healthy. Ohtani will be eligible for free agency in 2024.

Paul Molitor – Paul Morse / Public domain
Molitor was plagued by injury for the first few years of his professional career, which culminated in Tommy John surgery in 1984. He played seven seasons ('78 -'84) pre-surgery and fourteen seasons ('85-'98) post-surgery, as primarily an infielder and DH. Six of his seven All-Star appearances were post-surgery, in addition to his 1993 World Series MVP performance with the Blue Jays.
In 1987, Molitor's 39-game hit streak ranked fifth longest all-time, and the longest since Pete Rose's all-time record of 44 in 1978. In 1996 he became the second 40-year-old to have a 200 hit season and is one of five players to reach the 3000-hit plateau with a lifetime .300 batting average, and 500 stolen bases; one of two (Ichiro) to do so after 1930. He went on to a first ballot election to the Hall of Fame in 2004.
Shin-Soo Choo

Choo had Tommy John surgery September 2007 after the outfielder missed much of the season to injury, five years into his pro career in the Cleveland organisation. To that point, he'd hit .282 in the majors and a fielding percentage of .980 over all outfield positions. Following Tommy John surgery, Choo returned to Cleveland and posted the most hits (98) and RBI (66) by a Korean player in the majors and was named AL Player of the Month in September 2008. He went on to maintain a batting average of over .300 for three of the next five seasons and was fourteenth in MVP voting in 2010. In 2013 as a member of the Cincinnati Reds, he ranked twelfth in MVP voting, then was named to the American League All-Star roster in 2018 with the Texas Rangers.
Gleyber Torres

Torres is a young star infielder of the New York Yankees whose 2017 injury in AAA led Tommy John surgery before his debut in the majors. Torres contravened a Yankees sliding rule (requiring feet-first slides whenever possible due to the lower risk of injury than head-first) and dove into home, tearing the UCL in his non-throwing elbow.
He returned to play in time for 2018 spring training ranking fifth in MLB prospect rankings. After starting the year in AAA, he was promoted to the majors on April 22. Torres slashed .275/.338/.511 over two seasons with the Yankees and became the only Yankee other than Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle to have two 20+ home run seasons before the age of 23. He was rewarded with a selection to the 2018 and '19 American League all-star teams and was third in AL Rookie of the Year voting.
Tommy John
Tommy John – Unknown author / Public domain
John has his eponymous surgery, the first of its kind, in 1974. His career spanned 26 years, 14 of which came after the surgery along with more than half of his 288 career wins (164). Following the procedure, the only start he missed was for the flu. John pitched until he was 46.
Jonny Venters
Jonny Venters – Thomson200 / CC0
Venters has had the unfortunate experience of undergoing Tommy John surgery three (and a half) times, in '05, '13, and '14. Even more surprisingly, he has come back to pitch in the majors each time.
He ranked eighth in Rookie of the Year voting in 2010 and made an All-Star appearance in 2011, five and six years after his first surgery, respectively, and was named the 2018 National League Comeback Player of the Year after his third surgery. The reliever boasts a lifetime ERA of 2.71 and overcame a fourth injury just seven pitches into his latest rehab stint and its subsequent surgical repair. He appeared in twelve innings split between Atlanta and Washington in 2019.

Palestinian journalist wearing 'PRESS' vest killed in Israel-Gaza protests

Mortally wounded Palestinian journalist Yasser Murtaja, 31, is evacuated during clashes with Israeli troops at the Israel-Gaza border, in the southern Gaza Strip April 6, 2018.

A Palestinian journalist died after being wounded by Israeli fire on Friday while covering deadly protests along the Israel-Gaza border.
Yaser Murtaja, 30, a cameraman for Palestinian Ain Media, was the 29th Palestinian killed.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said the army was looking into the incident and could not comment further at this stage.
GAZA (Reuters) - A Palestinian journalist died on Saturday after being wounded by Israeli fire on Friday while covering deadly protests along the Israel-Gaza border, health officials said.
Yaser Murtaja, 30, a cameraman for Palestinian Ain Media, was the 29th Palestinian killed in the week-long protests.
Photos showed Murtaja lying wounded on a stretcher wearing a navy-blue protective vest marked 'PRESS' in large black capital letters. Health officials said a live bullet had penetrated the side of his abdomen and he succumbed to his wounds in hospital.
The daily protests, dubbed "The Great March of Return", began on March 30 along the Israel-Gaza frontier, reviving a longstanding demand for the right of return of Palestinian refugees to towns and villages from which their families fled, or were driven out, when the state of Israel was created.
Israel has stationed sharpshooters to stop attempts by Palestinians to breach the border or sabotage the security fence.
Freelance photographer Ashraf Abu Amra told Reuters he was next to Murtaja, whom he said was wearing a helmet and protective vest. Abu Amra said they were both clearly marked as journalists.
"We were filming as youths torched tyres. We were about 250 meters from the fence," said Abu Amra. "Israeli forces opened fire and injuries began. Yaser and I ran to film when suddenly Yaser fell to the ground.
"I screamed to him 'Yaser are you alright?'. He didn't respond and there was blood on the ground underneath him. I knew it was a bad injury and people carried him away," said Abu Amra.
A Palestinian demonstrator hurls stones at Israeli troops during clashes at a protest demanding the right to return to their homeland, at the Israel-Gaza border east of Gaza City April 6, 2018.
Video footage showed Murtaja being carried to an ambulance with crowds around and black smoke rising from where protesters had set tyres alight, east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
Murtaja was married with a two-year-old son. Hundreds of mourners, among them many journalists, attended his funeral on Saturday.
His body was covered with a Palestinian flag and his press jacket laid beside him on the stretcher as it was carried through the streets of Gaza City to his home for a last farewell.
"I made him breakfast, he ate quickly, he was in a hurry to go to work," said Murtaja's mother, Yusra, recounting the morning of the protest.
"I thought he would recover from his injury, I didn't expect his death, but God has chosen him as a martyr, thank God," she said, sitting on the ground as mourners came to the house to pay their respects.
Israel Radio, citing an unnamed source in Gaza, said Murtaja had been operating a camera drone on Friday. Abu Amra and two other Palestinian journalists said Murtaja was not operating a camera drone when shot.
Murtaja, on his Facebook page, had posted two aerial photos taken at the border in the past week. It was unclear if he had taken them himself.
At least three other journalists were wounded on Friday in other locations, Gaza officials said. There have been no Israeli casualties in the protests.
Israel's response to the protests has drawn international criticism, with human rights groups saying it involved live fire against demonstrators posing no immediate threat to life.
Israel says it is doing what it must to defend its border and its troops have been responding with riot dispersal means and fire "in accordance with the rules of engagement".
Hamas, the Islamist group that runs Gaza, says the protests demanding the right of return of refugees will continue.
The Israeli government has ruled out any right of return, fearing the country would lose its Jewish majority.
Israel says many of the dead were militants and that Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organization by the West, is using the protests as cover to launch attacks along the border and ignite the area, while putting Gaza's civilians at risk.
Hamas rejects this.

Rev. Charles Brown, lead and background singer of the Fantastic Violinaires and with his own group The Saints, and before that a powerful soul singer who billed himself as Charlie "Coal Black" Brown, transitioned home on Tuesday, October 8, in Atlanta, GA.
Brown joined Robert Blair and the Fantastic Violinaires in 1969. He was formerly a member of the Pilgrim Jubilees. According to his bio, shortly after joining the Violinaires he introduced the song "Separation Line," which the group subsequently recorded.
During the '70s Stan Lewis who owned the Jewel/Paula setup in Shreveport, LA, released quite a lot of product that he sourced from Chicago. Artists like Lee "Shot" Williams and Jay Jay Taylor for example. The intriguingly named Charlie "Cole Black" Brown was one of the most obscure of the singers from the Chicago connection. The sensual uptown ballad "I Just Can't Get Over You" with its Tyrone Davis flavor, Brown's beautifully modulated high baritone vocal chock full of gospel flourishes and a fine meandering tenor sax meshed to make this single a lost classic. Long thought to be Brown's only recording, an archivist claims Lewis's masters register showed another two Brown tracks having been recorded in the same session that produced "I Just Can't Get Over You" and its B side.
Following his stint in the Violinaires, Rev. Brown came back with the Saints and cut the albums I Really Love You Lord (released in 1999 on the Gramercy label) and Jesus Will See You Through (released in 2002 on the Slater label of Decatur, GA). Of the album an unidentified reviewer in Gloryland Gospel opines: "The project opens by taking quartet fans back to the mid 1960s when the Violinaires recorded a selection entitled 'Call On Him.' Though the sound can by no means be duplicated it is definitely given a new and fresh interpretation by the Saints. One can almost see the late Robert 'Dad' Blair sharing leads on this classic selection with his right hand man Rev. Charlie Brown. As was mentioned earlier this project is full of great praise and worship selections. Much in the tradition of their 1999 hit 'I Really Love The Lord' I do believe the Saints have hit the mark with 'Let Your Spirit Fall on Me.' Rev. Brown pours his soul out on this selection bobbing and weaving through each falsetto yelp of the Saints with perfect diction and precision. After hearing this selection the listener is left in a state of worship and praise for the chance to feel God's spirit personally.
Charlie Brown & The Saints, 'Show Me the Way' from the album I Really Love You Lord. Personnel: Charlie Brown (vocals, guitar); Anthony M. Dalcoe (guitar, strings, horns, drums); Versai Sain (guitar, bass, background vocals); Michael L. Dalcoe (keyboards); Greg Mullins (drums); James Fairley, Richard Stevenson, Joe Brooks (background vocals). Recorded at Songbird Studio, Atlanta, GA.

I have to admit that this review has taken me quite a while to write. I am lucky to visit lots of restaurants on a regular basis, and in the case of most venues, it is easy to think of some words to express my thoughts. However, once in a while, I visit a restaurant that's harder to write about. Such was the case with Chapter One.
Chapter One was my fifth visit to a Michelin-starred restaurant, and my third in Ireland (after Thornton's and L'Ecrivain). My experiences in other starred restuarants had left me a bit disgruntled with the whole Michelin-star thing. None had been really memorable and on one occasion in San Francisco, the food had been downright bad. And while I am still skeptical of the whole Michelin vibe, I am glad to say that Chapter One proved to be an absolutely memorable and special experience.
What can I possibly add to the volumes that have been written about Chapter One? With chef Ross Lewis in charge, it has garnered numerous accolades and awards, the least of which is the aforementioned Michelin star. In fact, when you walk down the steps to the entrance of Chapter One, you are greeted with a veritable Hollywood Walk of awards and plaques. My words on this blog will not add any insight hitherto unmentioned. I cannot possible enhance their culinary reputation more than the editor of Saveur magazine or Tom Doorley already has.
But I can tell you about what I personally enjoyed at Chapter One. I enjoyed the warm hospitality and welcome exhibited by Martin Corbett and his front of house staff. It was throroughly Irish in nature, with references to local events and venues. You simply wouldn't get this warmth and intimacy anywhere else in the world. Chapter One magnificently balances fine food with the intrinsic informal nature of the Irish.
The food, as you would expect, was excellent. We chose the four course menu, at €65 per head. As usual, the "no-samesies" rule was applied so that we could experience as much of the menu as possible. While I loved all dishes, I have to give extra special mention to my first course. This was a little plate of silky plump ravioli, filled with 36 month parmesan and black pepper, served with a spring onion puree. When the little parcels burst, I was overwhelmed with the pure essence of parmesan. Extraordinarily good.
Charcuterie Trolley (pig's trotter boudin, potted rabbit & ham, Gubbeen salami and foie gras terrine). The boudin was full of deep spicy flavours and crumbled apart at the touch of the fork.
Dombes duck breast with fried cabbage and smoked potato, carrot and black cumin puree & duck sauce sharpened with apple balsamic vinegar. This came with a slice of flattened, crispy duck skin which I simply didn't get. It didn't match with anything else on the plate as far as I was concerned. But I could have ate bowls of that eye-popping, smooth carrot puree.
Carrageen set Glenillen double cream with strawberries, fresh yougurt mousse, brown bread sugar biscuits and Irish apple balsamic vinegar meringue. Srawberries, cream - how can you go wrong?
And if you do decide to indulge yourself at Chapter One, make sure to order the coffee and petit fours to fnish your meal. At just €3 per head, this represents fantastic value as you will receive loads of decadently luxurious homemade chocolates and macaroons, all presented very prettily.
I'm not going to go into the details of our overall bill (like I normally would). You don't go to an establishment like this in order to watch the pennies. Chapter One exists for celebrations and conversations. Suffice to say, it wasn't cheap, but I did feel as if I had gotten value for every red cent I spent.
Glad you had a good experience at Chapter One. We steer clear of them ourselves mostly due to the fact that they never live up to the hype or price.
Oh it's so worth spending money for this quality and degree of memorability. So many places do no better than we would ourselves at home,so it's a joy to sit back somewhere and know that everything you order will be perfect.
The "no samesies" rule is a brilliant revelation! I will be implementing that!


Gostaria de saber como se diz essa expressão "não des muita confiança a esse tipo, que ele vai abusar dela"
Don't trust him. He will eventually betray you.
Chances are that this is good for your. But there are other ways to express that, of course, so let´s wait for more suggestions.
And there is the proverbial "give him a finger and he will take a hand." Vars.: (a) Give a clown your finger and he'll take your whole hand. (b) more dramatical => Give him a finger and he will take the whole arm!

New Brood of Periodical Cicadas Discovered in Ohio and Northern Kentucky
Entomology Today	 May 17, 2014	 Leave a Comment
Thirteen-year periodical cicada nymphs emerging at the Crooked Run Nature Preserve in Ohio.
A 13-year brood of periodical cicadas has been discovered in southwestern Ohio and northern Kentucky, according to Gene Kritsky, Ph.D., professor of biology at the College of Mount St. Joseph.
As we reported two weeks ago, he and his colleagues are asking people to send him photos of the cicadas along with location data about where the photos were taken.
Kritsky first suspected these cicadas may represent a previously unrecognized brood in 2001, but he had to wait 13 years to verify his hypothesis. When these insects started to emerge last Tuesday evening, it confirmed that Ohio was home to a 13-year brood. This is the only 13-year brood of periodical cicadas in Ohio, which is home to four broods of 17-year cicadas.
Kritsky and Roy Troutman, another cicada researcher, mapped out the 2001 distribution noting specific locations to monitor this year.
"You have to be patient to work with periodical cicadas," Kritsky said. "When theses cicadas last appeared, George W. Bush had only been president for four months."
Waiting over a decade to test a hypothesis is not unusual for periodical cicada researchers. Paul Dudley, who lived near Boston in 1699, waited a total of 34 years to verify the 17-year cicada life cycle.
The oldest historical record of periodical cicadas corresponding to this year's unrecognized brood was a newspaper account published in 1871. When they emerged in the early twentieth century, they emerged with larger, better-known 17-year cicada broods and were not recognized as a distinct population.
This year, 13-year periodical cicadas were expected to emerge as part of Brood XXII in Louisiana and Mississippi. Kritsky and Troutman are anxious to determine the relationships, if any, between the southern population and the Ohio Kentucky population.
"It may be a relict of a once larger population or the subsequent evolution of a new brood that coincidentally emerged the same year as Brood XXII," Kritsky said.
Kritsky and Troutman are asking the people in southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky to help with the mapping project by activating the location services or GPS functions on their smart phones, taking photographs of the cicadas, and emailing them via the website http://www.msj.edu/cicada.
The emergence will take two to three weeks to reach its peak. Those wanting to see this new brood can visit Crooked Run Nature Preserve and the Chilo Lock 34 Park in Clermont County, Ohio during the first two weeks in June, or will wait until they emerge again 2027.

Dr. Edward Mamary Leads Photovoice Project
Dr. Edward Mamary, a Health Science and Recreation professor, was recently a Principal Investigator on a project entitled "Living in an Unfinished America: Shared Experiences of Discrimination and Resilience by Arab, Muslim & Sikh Americans." Spurred by a series of anti-Arab and anti -Muslim advertisements placed on San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency vehicles (and upheld in other jurisdictions as legal under the First Amendment), the project was sponsored by the City and County of San Francisco Human Rights Commission, with support from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
The project used a participatory action research methodology called "Photovoice," to explore the lived experience of those coping with Islamophobia and anti-Arab prejudice. The Arab American, Muslim, and Sikh participants came from a wide range of backgrounds in terms of age, race/ethnicity, religion, and language. Using photography and narrative, participants shared their experiences with prejudice and discrimination. They also revealed how they met these challenges with resilience, cultural pride, and self-determination.
Defending My Son
A Palestinian American woman used Photovoice to share her experience with prejudice and discrimination with a picture of her son.
This is my son. His name was Osama. I chose a picture of his school to show with his picture. After 9/11, many people at his school (students, teachers, and staff) tormented him. One teacher in particular continually called him Osama Bin Laden. He had nothing to do with his name and we had nothing to do with what happened on 9/11. They made it like it was his fault. He was 20 years old when he got shot. They said it was mistaken identity, but he got shot because he's a Middle Easterner, because he had Arabic writing on his car. And they tried to make it seem like he just was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Every time I pass that school, I wish I could see if someone needs help or is being discriminated against. I would want them to know that nothing is wrong with them. I joined this project because of my son. He is not alive to defend himself. I raised my kids to defend themselves. I was raised to stand up for what I believe in and for my religion—how to behave, how to act, how to respect, how to love.
—Fayza, Palestinian American Muslim woman
Tying Turbans
A Sikh American man used photovoice to describe how he overcame discrimination with the help of his parents and wearing his turban proudly.
Here is an older Sikh man tying a turban on one of my good friends. This captures a very special moment from our culture, when a Sikh dad or father-like figure ties a turban on his son or daughter. It is like slowly tying valuable cultural ideals into each and every fold of the fabric. It helps the younger generation understand who they are and helps them define their identity. This photo reminded me of the time my dad tied a turban on me as a teen. I didn't like it, especially because I got called racist slurs at school. After that experience, I went on to eighth grade and cut my hair. I didn't feel good about myself. My parents would tell me stories of how the Sikh Gurus sacrificed their whole families so Sikhs can wear their turbans like crowns and practice their faith proudly and fearlessly. In eleventh grade, I started growing my hair again and started tying a turban. I feel connected to my roots now and every layer of my turban helps me stand tall in a crowd, proud to be a Sikh.
—Harkanwar, Sikh American man
The photos and narratives were exhibited at public events at the San Francisco City Hall Rotunda in April 2015, and at the Women's Building in August 2015, providing an opportunity for dialogue with policy members, educators, health care providers, and the community at large.
Poster for the exhibition of Photovoice held on August 12, 2015 in San Francisco, California.
Community partners on the project included the Asian Law Caucus, the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Arab Cultural and Community Center, the Islamic Network Group, the Sikh Coalition, the San Francisco Department of Public Health, and the San Francisco District Attorney's Office. A second Photovoice project on anti-semitism is underway, with the first exhibit to debut in early spring. Along with Dr. Lynne Andonian, an Occupational Therapy associate professor, Dr. Mamary will be presenting a workshop session on Photovoice at the College of Applied Sciences and Arts' Center for Applied Research on Human Services (CARHS) Brown Bag event in spring 2016.

JMC's Guerrazzi takes Award of Excellence for 'Opening Oman' documentary
Diane Guerrazzi, a broadcast journalism professor at San Jose State University in the College of Applied Sciences and Arts' School of Journalism and Mass Communications, has received the Mixed Video Award of Excellence from the Broadcast Education Association in the faculty category.
Diane Guerrazzi, a JMC professor, poses for a photo with students on a study abroad program to Oman in winter 2013.
Guerrazzi and Hannah Gaber's short documentary, "Opening Oman," was recognized along with 11 other pieces nationwide in the BEA 2015 Festival of Media Arts competition. Prizes will be awarded during the BEA's annual convention and Festival of Media Arts in April in Las Vegas.
The 12-minute video can be viewed online.
In the video, Guerrazzi, sets up a narrative about the ways in which the Middle Eastern country that is bordered by Saudia Arabia, Yemn and United Arab Emirates is looking to open itself to international tourism.
A narrator describes some of the efforts that Oman's government has taken in the last two decades to open its borders up to tourism, such as open a tourism college and creating a bacherlor's in tourism. But the country is still focused on striking a balance of drawing in visitors without losing its traditions.
"In Oman, we have this kind of idea that we really want to develop tourism but not offer it too widely so we lose identify and core traditions – history itself," said Hooda Albalushi, a tourism lecturer at Sultan Qaboos University, in one of the interviews in the video. "We want to try to open up to the outside world, but keep up traditions and whatever makes us unique."
According to the video, Oman has seen less than 2 million visitors in any one year, while Dubai in neighboring United Arab Emirates has seen as many as 10 million in a year. But tourism faculty say the country is focused on bringing in quality tourists instead of a high quantity, as it is one of the most expensive tourist destinations in the world.
Guerrazzi started the work on the documentary during winter session in 2013, when she collaborated with a professor from the University of Arizona, Maggy Zanger, who had contacts in Oman to take students abroad.
"She (Zanger) suggested the tourism angle, since Oman is truly at a crossroads with its approach to the outside world," Guerrazzi said, via email. "Some of our students were journalism majors, but others were studying political science, tourism and behavioral sciences so the tourism topic was interesting to all."
The study abroad program included four students from SJSU, one from Gavilan Community College, one from CSU East Bay, three from University of Arizona, one from the University of Oregon, one from the University of Delaware and one from the University of Arkansas.
"Students helped shoot some video and conduct some interviews," Guerrazzi said, noting that Gaber, a graduate student from Arizona was especially interested in helping with the project. "She transcribed some interviews and contributed ideas."
Guerrazzi said she was the primary person to shoot the video as well as the person who wrote the narrative and edited the piece. She worked on it throughout spring and summer 2014, even working on it while she was on vacation in Japan.
"To develop the story with a dramatic art, I needed to mold the piece as I created it," she said. "It's much different than writing a regular news story."
Guerrazzi, who is also the director of the SJSU Afghanistan Journalism Education Enhancement Program, said documentary is a new field for her as she has worked in short-form broadcast for daily news for 30 years.
"I am encouraged to try another documentary, perhaps with another faculty-led program," she said. "This time, it would be great to scout out locations and characters ahead of time."
Guerrazzi and Halima Kazem, a colleague in JMC, are offering a four-week faculty-led program this summer in Turkey in which students will learn what it is like to be an international journalist and navigate the world working on various multimedia news stories.
The course still has openings for interested students who will work in small teams to develop a short documentary, a photo essay, a travel blog or any other multimedia product by the end of the course. The students will visit Turkish media organizations and collaborate with Turkish university students on their projects. A multimedia bootcamp will be offered before students depart for Istanbul and faculty will work with students to develop their projects. This is a great opportunity to cover an international issue, generate portfolio clips and make contacts abroad.
The three-weeks trip will include visits to Turkish media organizations such as Today's Zaman, CNN Turk, Daily Hurriyet and Daily Sabah; visits to journalism departments at two Turkish universities; a tour of Istanbul's landmarks and world heritage sites; a lecture on Turkish cuisine and café culture; guided walking tours and more.

JMC premieres 'The Barbershop Diaries' for Black History Month
The School of Journalism and Mass Communications at San José State University will premiere a documentary entitled "The Barbershop Diaries" on Feb. 8, from 3-5 p.m. in Morris Dailey Auditorium. Admission is free for the documentary screening; tickets may be reserved online at www.thebarbersinc.eventbrite.com.
The School of Journalism and Mass Communications will premiere a documentary, 'The Barbershop Diaries,' on Feb. 8.
The documentary, created by College of Applied Sciences and Arts multimedia students and Professor D. Michael Cheers, focuses on the historic and powerful impact barbers and beauty salon owners have in communities. According to a press release, "For generations it's the place where people from all cultures have gathered to learn about each other, life and the challenges we face together."
"This is the last in a series of trilogy projects that examines how engaging and compelling visual storytelling impacts community," Cheers said, in the release. "In 2010, we premiered 'Soul Sanctuary,' an in-depth look at the challenges facing the aging congregation and leadership at Antioch Baptist Church, the oldest African American Baptist Church in San Jose."
In 2013, "Dream Fulfilled, Dream Deferred" was premiered with a look at urban violence through the eyes of two San José families affected by gun and gang violence.
"'The Barbershop Diaries' afforded me the opportunity to spend time inside the shop's hallowed public space," Cheers said, "peer into the diverse lives of these barbers, and share with the public their personal stories of triumph over adversity, naysayers, personal demons and the stumbling blocks and hurdles of life."
Over two years, the film "explores the eclectic lives of 10 barbers who work at Barbers, Inc., a neighborhood barbershop in downtown San Jose."
The press release describes the participants featured in the documentary: Two are former inmates, now seeking salvation, redemption and "a chance to make things right." Others are a budding actor and screenwriter; a lesbian barber who juggles a domestic relationship and her mother's stage four breast cancer; a promising model and singer; a tattooed, man‐child who was headed for "jail or the graveyard"; a "my faith comes first" Muslim, who struggles to find a quiet place to pray during work hours; an unassuming Ethiopian immigrant, who lost his security guard job, and used his jobless benefits to pay for barber college; and a young apprentice barber, still studying for his license, with two toddlers in tow.
As part of Black History Month, the School of Journalism and Mass Communications will also unveil an online portrait gallery showcasing photographs taken by photojournalism students of South Bay area African-American barbershop and beauty salon owners.

Former SJSU Prof Bob Gliner's Doc, Schools That Change Communities, will be re-broadcast on PBS Station KCSM
Bob Gliner's latest documentary, Schools That Change Communities, will be re-broadcast on PBS Station KCSM (Comcast Channel 17) throughout the SF Bay Area, Tuesday, March 5th, 8:00pm and Sunday, March 17, 9:00pm, as part of its nationwide broadcasts.
Produced by former San Jose State Sociology Professor Bob Gliner, this unique, engaging documentary turns the current focus of education on its head. While most US schools keep their students bottled up in classrooms as a way of increasing test scores, this very upbeat special focuses on a diverse range of K-12 public schools in five states that instead break down the walls between the school and its neighborhood. By viewing their communities as classrooms, students are not only invigorated, but also motivated to learn the basics and how to think critically and engage in solving problems they and the larger world they inhabit now face.
Gliner's other education focused documentaries include Lessons From The Real World, and Democracy Left Behind both of which enjoyed long runs on PBS stations across the country.
For more about the documentary and to watch a trailer, visit Bob Gliner's website: DocMakerOnline.com.

(Kitco News) - There is little conviction in the gold market as Wall Street and Main Street are split on the near-term direction of prices, based on the weekly Kitco News gold survey.
This comes after both leaned bearish in the last survey and are right so far in the current week. Next week brings a highly anticipated news event - a meeting of the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee, which is widely expected to hike interest rates by another 25 basis points.
Nineteen market professionals took part in the weekly Kitco News Wall Street survey. There were eight votes, or 42%, calling for gold prices to fall over the next week. Another seven voters, or 37%, look for gold to rise, while four, or 21%, call for a sideways market or are neutral.
Meanwhile, a smaller-than-normal 460 voters took part in an online Main Street poll. A total of 202 voters, or 44%, said bullish. Another 187 voters, or 41%, said bearish, while 71, or 15%, were neutral.
For the trading week now winding down, 65% of Wall Street voters and 47% of Main Street voters were bearish – the largest voting blocs in each poll. As of 11:07 a.m. EDT, Comex April gold was down 1.1% for the week so far to $1,310 an ounce.
A number of traders and analysts noted that gold has been choppy and in a sideways range lately.
Afshin Nabavi, head of trading at trading house MKS (Switzerland) SA, commented that he looks for an uptick in a market that has been range-bound lately. "There seems to be some buying on the dips," he said.
Daniel Pavilonis, senior commodities broker with RJO Futures, also said higher. "It hit support. It's due for a little bit of a pop," he said.
Sean Lusk, director of commercial hedging with Walsh Trading, looks for gold to benefit from geopolitical concerns as well as a view that new Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will not be overly aggressive hiking interest rates.
Meanwhile, Mark Leibovit, editor of the VR Gold Letter, described himself as bearish. "Waiting for renewed bottom confirmation," he added.
Kevin Grady also said he is bearish for next week.
Ken Morrison, editor of the newsletter Morrison on the Markets, also looks for lower prices, although he also commented that the "next move is difficult to read" with gold and the dollar index in sideways consolidation patterns.
Robin Bhar, metals analyst at Societe Generale, looks for the metal to fall ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting, then recover, ultimately finishing next week roughly where it is now. Down-then-up movement has been a pattern for some time now around meetings in which the Fed has hiked interest rates, a number of analysts have pointed out.

Wowza Streaming Engine version 4.2 is now available on AWS Marketplace
August 20, 2015 by Jamie Sherry
We have some really exciting news to share about Wowza Streaming Engine software on AWS Marketplace. First off, version 4.2 is now available for both Wowza Streaming Engine 4 standard and bring-your-own-license (BYOL) offerings. New features in the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager user interface, as well as within the API, allow users to easily manage their live streaming content delivery to large and distributed audiences through content delivery networks (CDNs), the Wowza Streaming Cloud service, and other destinations. We have also updated our Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) to support HVM, the virtualization technology recently adopted by Amazon, which enables support for the latest instance types—including M4, C4, and T2.
There are several important distinctions to make with this release:
The current offerings, Wowza Streaming Engine 4 standard edition and BYOL edition, will
become limited to existing, "subscribed" customers only and remain available for no more than 180 days. This change was necessary in order to offer new instances types in new regions.
will support only Wowza Streaming Engine version 4.1.2 and earlier.
The new offerings, Wowza Streaming Engine 4 BYOL pro edition (hardware virtual machine; HVM) and Wowza Streaming Engine 4 pro edition (HVM), will
not support legacy instance types, including M1 and M2. Equivalent instance types based on performance and cost have been added.
support only Wowza Streaming Engine version 4.2 and later.
Fear not: Wowza Streaming Engine is otherwise the same great product you know and love. Better yet, Wowza Transcoder, nDVR, and DRM (formerly premium AddOns) are now built-in features that you can use on unlimited channels for both AWS Marketplace offerings. Previously this was possible only on the BYOL offering. New enhancements to Wowza Transcoder also enable VP8/VP9 video and Opus/Vorbis audio decoding, plus VP9/Opus encoding to enable live streaming using the WebM format.
We hope you're as excited as we are about the improved integration between Amazon Web Services and Wowza Streaming Engine software. As always, please give us your feedback so we can ensure that Wowza Streaming Engine on AWS Marketplace continues to exceed your expectations.
