Birmingham police have led a blitz on hotspots to make locals feel safer.
Officers teamed up with councillors, housing officials and council waste staff to clean up areas of Lozells and East Handsworth's Leonard Road, Carpenters Road and Wills Street following complaints that graffiti and piles of rubbish were affecting local businesses and bringing the area down.
Over 100 properties were visited as part of the day of action with officers outlining their ongoing work to tackle a seasonal rise in crime and urging homeowners and shopkeepers to play their part by bolstering security and reporting suspicious characters to police.
Sergeant Kin Devi organised the clean-up. She said: "The action day was extremely well received and we listened to what local people felt our policing priorities over the coming weeks should be.
Between April and December 2013 1,559 crimes were investigated by officers in the whole of Lozells and East Handsworth compared to 1,515 over the same period the year before. This equates to a rise of 44 offences.
The clean up day took place on Monday 27 January.

4.5 Experiments: local realism untenable
Quantum Optics 2 - Two photons and more
4.9 (64 calificaciones) | 3.6 mil estudiantes inscritos
"Quantum Optics 1, Single photons", allowed learners to be introduced to the basic principles of light quantization, and to the standard formalism of Quantum Optics. All the examples were taken in single photons phenomena, including applications to quantum technologies. In the same spirit, "Quantum Optics 2, Two photons and more", will allow learners to use the Quantum Optics formalism to describe entangled photon, a unique feature at the root of the second quantum revolution and its applications to quantum technologies. Learners will also discover how the Quantum Optics formalism allows one to describe classical light, either coherent such as laser light, or incoherent such as thermal radiation. Using a many photons description, it is possible to derive the so-called Standard Quantum Limit (SQL), which applies to classical light, and to understand how new kinds of quantum states of light, such as squeezed states of light, allow one to beat the SQL, one of the achievements of quantum metrology. Several examples of Quantum Technologies based on entangled photons will be presented, firstly in quantum communication, in particular Quantum Teleportation and Quantum Cryptography. Quantum Computing and Quantum Simulation will also be presented, including some insights into the recently proposed Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing, which raises a serious hope to demonstrate, in a near future, the actively searched quantum advantage, ie, the possibility to effect calculations exponentially faster than with classical computers.

This was a fascinating journey. The material is extremally interesting and Prof Aspect\n\ndelivers it in the best manner. Highly recommended.
The course content is excellent as are the video presentations and quiz questions and, above all, the explanations of concepts.
ENTANGLEMENT: A REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT
Entanglement is a quantum mechanical feature which was ignored or underestimated for a long time, in spite of the debate between Einstein and Bohr about it. It is only with John Bell's discovery, in the mid 1960's, that one could experimentally settle the debate, that some physicists realized the possibility to use entanglement for new ways of processing and transmitting information. In this lesson, you will learn about entanglement and Bell's inequalities tests, about the case of a pair of photons entangled in polarization, which is the system that has lead to the first convincing experiments. consequences about our understanding of the quantum world will be addressed, leaving to the next lesson the description of some quantum technologies based on entanglement.

Bell's theoretical paper showing the conflict between quantum predictions and inequalities applying to any local hidden variable theory was based on an EPR state of two spin one-half particles. The EPR state of photon polarizations considered in our lesson is strictly equivalent and was introduced a few years later by four authors, I have already mentioned: Clauser, Horne, Shimony, and Holt. In the paper where they publish the Bell's inequality variant you have just seen, they showed that it was possible to make an experimental test using pairs of polarization entangled photons and they proposed that such pairs of photons might be produced by atoms excited to well-chosen levels from which they would decay by a radiative cascade. A first series of pioneering experiments carried out by Clauser and Freedman in Berkeley and Fry and Thompson in College Station, gave results in agreement with quantum mechanics with a violation of Bell's inequality by five standard deviations, a value considered significant enough by physicists to accept the result of an experiment. In these pioneering experiments, however, it had not been possible to implement an important feature suggested by Bell in his 1964 paper: enforcing the locality condition by changing the orientation of the polarizers while the photons were in flight. Indeed, in static experiments with polarizer fixed, there could be an unknown interaction between the polarizers so that the response of one polarizer might depend not only on its own polarization but also on the orientation of the other polarizer. There could also be an interaction between the polarizers and the source, so that the distribution of the supplementary parameters rho of lambda might depend on the orientations a and b of the polarizers. One can easily check that the derivation of Bell's inequalities then fails. Bell's inequalities demonstration demands that A does not depend on the orientation b and vice versa. It also demands that rho of lambda does not depend on orientations a or b. This locality condition was assumed to be true as a reasonable hypothesis in the first experiments, but as suggested by Bell, the locality condition would become a consequence of Einstein's relativistic causality condition - the fact that no influence can propagate faster than light - if one could change the orientations of the polarizers while the photons are in flight between the source and the polarizers. This experiment was carried out at Institut d'Optique in Orsay in 1982. On each side an optical switch could re-direct light between two polarizers at different orientations, realizing an equivalent polarizer rapidly switched. The time between two switchings - about 10 nanosecond - was shorter than the time of flight of each photon between the source and the polarizer about 20 nanoseconds. I was lucky to be helped by two outstanding engineers in optics and electronics, G. Roger and A. Villing, and two promising master students, P. Grangier and J. Dalibard, who have since produced innumerable outstanding results in quantum optics and quantum degenerate cold gases. The results gave a significant violation of Bell's inequalities by six standard deviations. Entanglement had survived the very demanding test with variable polarizers. The very efficient source of entangled photons developed for this experiment was used a few years later to produce heralded single photon wave packets as presented in detail in our first quantum optics MOOC. Almost two decades later, new sources of entangled photon pairs were developed based on parametric down conversion of photons, a quantum nonlinear phenomenon that we will study in a future lesson. Among the fantastic progress made possible by this new sources, a major one is the fact that photons are produced in well enough defined directions that they can be fed into optical fibers. The distance between the source and the polarizer can then be increased by orders of magnitude. Operating at hundreds of meters, Anton Zeilinger and his team at Innsbruck could implement an improved version of the test with polarizers orientations changed randomly during the flight of the photons. Around Geneva, Nicolas Gisin and his team were able to use the commercial optical fiber network of Swiss Telecom to make measurements at tens of kilometers of distance. All these experiments have found undisputable violations of Bell's inequality. Entanglement survives large distances. More recently, new progress in photon detectors efficiencies which can now reach values close to one, at the price of working at cryogenic temperatures, have allowed several groups to close the so-called sensitivity loophole. A loophole is an imperfection of the experiment that allows determined advocates of local hidden variable theories to reconcile the prediction of their theories with the results of the imperfect experiment agreeing with quantum predictions. For traditional detectors with detection efficiencies less than 70 percent, it was possible to design models taking advantage of the fact that many photons were missed to predict results in agreement with quantum mechanics in all orientations. With the advent of almost perfect detectors, this loophole has been closed including in experiments in which the orientations of the polarizers were changed during the flight of the photons. If you want to know more about the experimental tests of Bell's inequality, you can find several documents with that course. Although there are still some points that could be questioned, for instance, about the possibility to really choose at random the orientation of the polarizers, the so-called free-will loophole, we will take as granted the fact that experiments have provided overwhelming evidence that Bell's inequalities are violated in situations where quantum mechanics predicts a violation. There are many examples of an issue between contradictory theories being settled by so-called crucial experiments. You may know the story of the 1820 debate at the French Academy of Sciences, where the conflict between the wave and particle models of light was settled by an experiment showing the existence of the bright spot predicted by Fresnel wave theory. You know for sure that the result of the celebrated Michelson experiment was in disagreement with a classical model of ether and in agreement with Einstein's special relativity. Particle physics is full of discoveries supporting some models and eliminating others. The peculiarity of the Einstein Bohr debate is that it was a priori not a debate between conflicting physics theories, but a debate between interpretations of the successful quantum mechanics formalism. That this conceptual debate could eventually be settled experimentally seems to be unique. What can we conclude from the Bell's inequalities experimental violations? Unfortunately, neither Bohr nor Einstein lived long enough to know of Bell's theorem. We can suppose that Bohr would have been delighted since he several times expressed the view that the quantum formalism was fully consistent and that any attempt to complete it would fail. Bell's theorem is a perfect example of Bohr's intuition. Regarding Einstein, it is clear that the violation of Bell's inequalities show that his local realist vision of the world cannot be maintained. It is impossible to know what his reaction would have been. But there is an interesting text where he considers the hypothesis that his point of view would not be correct. He concludes that the consequences are so shocking that one has to accept his point of view. This is what he writes in 1942, about not adopting his point of view. ''One can escape from this conclusion only by either assuming that the measurement of S1 telepathically changes the real situation of S2 or by denying independent real situations as such to things which are spatially separated from each other. Both alternative appear to me entirely unacceptable.'' Einstein writing. The first possibility would be an instantaneous effect of the measurement on the first system onto the second system. The second possibility would be that two system spatially separated, that is to say such that no interaction can propagate between them at a velocity not exceeding that of light, do not have individual local physical realities. None of these possibilities was acceptable by Einstein. Nowadays, after the experimental observations of the violations of Bell's inequality, we have to accept at least one of the two possibilities that shocked Einstein. The first one is often referred to as quantum non-locality. It is the fact that the measurement at a place changes instantaneously the quantum state of a second system spatially separated. The other one is what is called quantum holism. It is the fact that an entangled system must be considered as a whole and not the sum of its components, even if they are separated in space-time.

Haitian journey to Texas border starts in South America – The San Diego Union-Tribune
TIJUANA, Mexico —
Robins Exile downed a traditional meal of plantains and chicken at a restaurant run by Haitian immigrants, just a short walk from the walled border with the United States. He arrived the night before and went there seeking advice: Should he try to get to the U.S., or was it better to settle in Mexico?
Messages on WhatsApp and Facebook and YouTube videos from Haitian migrants warned him to avoid crossing in Del Rio, Texas, where thousands of Haitians have converged recently. It was no longer the easy place to cross that it was just a few weeks ago.
Discussion Monday at the Tijuana restaurant offered a snapshot of Haitians' diaspora in the Western Hemisphere that picked up steam in 2016 and has shown little sign of easing, demonstrated most recently by the more than 14,000 mostly Haitian migrants assembled around a bridge in Del Rio, a town of only 35,000 people.
Of the roughly 1.8 million Haitians living outside their homeland, the United States is home to the largest Haitian immigrant population in the world, numbering 705,000 people from the Western Hemisphere's poorest country. Significant numbers also live in Latin American countries like Chile, which is home to an estimated 69,000 Haitians, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
Nearly all Haitians reach the U.S. border on a well-worn route: Fly to Brazil, Chile or elsewhere in South America. If jobs dry up, slowly move through Central America and Mexico by bus and on foot to wait — perhaps years — in northern border cities like Tijuana for the right time to enter the United States and claim asylum.
It is a population that relies little on smugglers and instead moves based on shared experience and information exchanged between the tight-knit community, often via WhatsApp or Facebook, about where it is safest, where jobs are most plentiful and where it is easiest to enter a country. Earlier this year, large numbers showed up in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to cross into El Paso, Texas.
Haitians shifted over the summer to Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, across from Del Rio. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Monday that it was unusually sudden.
Many Haitians began attempting to enter the U.S. in the 1980s by sea. Most of them were cut off by the Coast Guard and perhaps given a cursory screening for asylum eligibility, said David FitgGerald, a sociology professor at the University of California, San Diego and an asylum expert. In 1994, Haitians were intercepted and screened by U.S. authorities on a rented Ukrainian ship and a U.S. Navy hospital ship parked in Kingston, Jamaica. Attempts by sea waned after a Supreme Court decision allowing forced repatriations without refugee protections.
Tens of thousands of Haitians fled after a devastating earthquake in 2010 to settle in South America. After jobs dried up from the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, many came to Tijuana. President Barack Obama initially allowed them in the U.S. on humanitarian grounds but abruptly began flying them back to Haiti, leaving many stranded on the Mexican border.
Since then, Haitian restaurants and other businesses have sprouted in Tijuana. Haitians have found work at border factories built for U.S. exports and at car washes. One hardscrabble neighborhood is now known as "Little Haiti" because so many settled there.
Many Haitians have established at least temporary legal status in Mexico, Brazil and elsewhere. Some have spouses or children from their adopted countries.
Exile, who joked that he seemed born to be a refugee given his name, said he was interested in getting documents to be able to work in Mexico if his plan to reach the United States fails. He and his pregnant wife had been on the road for 2 1/2 months after he lost his job in Brazil. They had flown there from Haiti a year and half ago amid spiraling crime.
They stayed along Mexico's southern border with Guatemala for three weeks, and had planned to go to the Texas border. But by the time his family sent money, he heard Tijuana was the safer option with its well-established Haitian community.
"It's getting complicated, so that's why I came here where I can hopefully find work and live peacefully, taking care of my family," Exile said in the restaurant, painted in the colors of the Haitian flag.
He understands the U.S. crackdown in Del Rio, where the Biden administration on Sunday launched an expulsion campaign to Haiti.
"I think people should wait and work in Mexico," he said. "There are opportunities here, just not as many as in the U.S."
Pierre Wilthene and his wife agree. They operate the restaurant "Chris Kapab," or "God Willing" in Creole. They arrived in Tijuana five years ago. The two went to Brazil when the economy was booming ahead of the 2014 World Cup.
"Things are good here," said Wilthene, who also is vice president of the Association of the Defense of Haitian Immigrants in Tijuana, which helps arrivals find housing, passes along donated furniture, clothing and toys and guides Haitians through Mexico's health care and public school systems.
Yuliy Ramírez came to Tijuana five years after losing her job in Brazil, where she arrived in 2012. She enrolled in a Tijuana university for a nursing degree.
"Mexico was a good option for me, but I won't deny that for many they could have a much better life in the U.S.," Ramirez said.
About 150,000 Haitians went to Chile from 2014 to 2018, many on charter flights to qualify for a visa, and found work as street vendors, janitors and construction workers. They lived largely in marginalized neighborhoods of the capital and suffered discrimination.
In April, a stricter immigration law took effect, and the Chilean government started massive aerial deportations.
Now more Haitians are moving through the Colombian town of Necocli, where migrants catch boat rides to the Panama border to begin the perilous trek through the jungle of the Darien Gap. In July, the town hosted more than 10,000 migrants, nearly all Haitian.
Migrants waiting there stay in hotels or locals' homes, where they rent rooms for $6 to $10 a night. Large groups sleep under tarps on the beach.
Panama's Security Minister Juan Pino said Monday that last week his country was still receiving 2,500 to 3,000 migrants — mostly Haitians — arriving through the Darien Gap.
From there, many have made their way to Mexico, where some apply for asylum in the southern city of Tapachula and live in encampments.
Unlike Central Americans, Haitians have generally not been deported from Mexico. So far this year, 19,000 have requested asylum in Mexico, a figure second only to Hondurans. In the previous two years, only about 6,000 Haitians had applied each year.
But most in the past have decided to push on to the United States, though now some are weighing the risks.
The Biden administration plans to ramp up this week to seven flights a day in what may be the swiftest, large-scale American efforts to remove migrants or refugees in decades.
Junior Jean lived in Chile for four years before coming through Mexico to the makeshift camp under the Del Rio bridge.
"Chile was bad for me," said Jean, 32. "I was sleeping on the street, eating from the trash. That is what we were doing. There is nothing."
Lozano reported from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, and Spagat reported from San Diego. AP reporters Eva Vergara in Santiago Chile, Astrid Suarez and Manuel Rueda in Bogota, Colombia, Juan Zamorano in Panama City, and Maria de la Verza in Mexico City contributed to this report.

Best Use of GIFs – Dream11
Finalist in GIFs
Our objective for the Dream11 IPL campaign was to get engagement and reach for the brand.
Cricket is the second-most popular sport in the world. If this feels inaccurate, there are 2.5 billion people around the world who'd disagree.
90% of those cricket fans are Indians, for whom cricket was never a sport, always a religion.
And for these cricket-crazy characters, the biggest annual event of the year was the Indian Premier League – a domestic Indian cricket league featuring the best international cricketers in franchises from every part of the country, much like the NBA for the United States and the EPL for the United Kingdom.
Every year, the IPL is a festival that gives India two months of camaraderie, banter, debate, and scope for endless conversation. It is a celebration that brings communities together.
However, with the pandemic shifting the location of the tournament to the UAE, all of this was taken away, and understandably reduced to no more than watching the matches from the safety of one's home.
While our functional objective was to garner engagement and reach, as title sponsors of IPL 2020, we took it upon ourselves to ensure that the fans' IPL experience would not be compromised. Our strategy was to not just facilitate the conversations that India waits to have all year round, but enrich them.
So the question arose: what more could we give to an audience that's cooped up at home, detached from their Gods, separately tuning in to an experience they so eagerly dove into every year together?
Through grassroots social media research and our prevailing understanding of cricket sub-cultures in India, we came up with the recipe for the answer.
Presenting the recipe for the perfect GIF campaign:
1. Take 300 ml of annual Indian cricket fever, bring to a boil.
2. Thaw the world's best cricketers until they are candid, funny, and relatable.
3. Dice up the visuals to make them snackable and bite-sized.
4. Add all of the micro-moments in an IPL match you can find, 2 cups of everyday situations, and sprinkle a few utterly bizarre ones (to taste).
5. Clean the concurrent social media trends until only the most popular ones remain (Bottle Flip Challenge is an excellent choice). Add and reduce heat to a simmer.
6. Now comes the secret sauce - a healthy dollop of gully (street) cricket lingo, to rekindle an entire nation's childhood memories.
7. Garnish with memes, to make it palatable for everyone,
and you're done! This dish is best served organically on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Twitter.
Thus was born the Dream11 IPL GIPHY channel – a public access repository of over 200 unique GIFs and stickers, usable by anyone with a mobile phone, an internet connection, and an emotion or a reaction that needs expressing!
Watch the video here http://bit.ly/Dream11BestUseOfGifs
We'll let the numbers speak for us...
The Dream11 IPL GIPHY channel trended globally twice (woohoo!), racking over 620 million views in the span of 55 days (length of IPL 2020).
Before the campaign, Dream11 had a sum total of 180,000 Instagram followers. By the end of the campaign, the brand handle had garnered 100,000 new followers.
Through the hundreds of GIFs and stickers, we were able to give fans a second screen during the match that became the forum for their banter, as well as the joy of communicating how they feel via the likenesses of their favorite cricketing superstars.
This completed the immersive IPL experience that fans look forward to every year, one that they were able to share with their friends from the safety of their homes.
Dream11IPL emerged as the No. 1 google trend of 2020 in India, and No. 5 globally. So while the lockdown edition of the IPL forced fans to watch the matches apart, the Dream11 GIPHY channel ensured that they celebrated, lamented, and experienced every match's emotions with each other, with the help of their biggest cricket idols.
The kicker? All of this was done with a sum total of 0 media spends! (*mic drop*)

Media Coverage Of Ted Cruz v. Media Coverage Of Wendy Davis
Can differences in media coverage of two unrelated filibusters be explained solely by media bias?
Doug Mataconis · Wednesday, September 25, 2013 · 76 comments
Politico's Dylan Byers picks up on a theme that I heard repeatedly yesterday from conservatives as Ted Cruz spoke on the Senate floor, namely that there was a difference between the way the media covered Cruz's "filibuster" and they way they covered that Texas State Senator Wendy Davis's filibuster of an abortion bill:
Sen. Ted Cruz has been speaking on the Senate floor for almost 19 hours, as of this post. The talk is not technically a filibuster — he can't actually block the Senate from going about its business — but symbolically, it's more or less the same thing. The point is to show one's opposition to something through a demonstration of physical will.
Which is why you can forgive conservatives for being upset with the mainstream media's coverage of the Cruz affair. When a Democrat like Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis filibusters against abortion restrictions, she is elevated to hero status, her tennis shoes become totems. When Cruz grandstands against Obamacare, he is a laughingstock in the eyes of many journalists on Twitter, an "embarrassment" in the eyes of The New York Times editorial board.
"Gee I wonder why NYT and WaPo and everyone else gave ecstatic coverage to Wendy Davis but not to Ted Cruz. I just can't make sense of it!" John Podhoretz, the conservative columnist, tweeted on Wednesday morning.
Cruz is portrayed in the media as "aimless and self-destructive" (NYT ed board), elitist (GQ) and likely guided more by presidential aspirations than principles (CNN). Josh Marshall, the editor and publisher of Talking Points Memo, had no qualms about coming right out and calling Cruz, his former Princeton colleague, an "arrogant jerk" — and worse.
After Davis's filibuster in June, she got a glowing Vogue profile and was interviewed by nearly every major network and show that deemed her the new superstar from the Lone Star.
In an interview shortly after her filibuster in June, CBS News's Charlie Rose highlighted Davis's history.
"You've met tough things before in your life as single mother, one who went form community college, to TCU to Harvard Law School and back to practice law, so this seems to be another challenge for you," Rose said.
Davis was the "Sunday Spotlight" for ABC's This Week after the filibuster and was interviewed by Jeff Zeleny in the dinner theater where Davis once watiressed. Even conservative columnist Peggy Noonan conceded during the panel that part of her thinks Davis is "so spirited, she has such energy and she seems to have such commitment."
Allahpundit's piece from this morning is fairly representative of what conservatives are saying:
ABC may end up interviewing Cruz but rest assured that they won't play pattycake with himwith their questions when they do. Compare that last link, in fact, to this sneering WaPo piece of the view from the Senate gallery of Cruz's filibuster as it got going. (Some media outlets chose instead to ignore Cruz's filibuster entirely on the front page. One of them, per HA contributor Karl, was WaPo, which has otherwise covered the prospect of a Cruz filibuster at length.) Here's the only wrinkle: Did Davis get the media version of a ticker-tape parade because she championed *a* left-wing issue or *the* left-wing issue? Bernie Sanders staged a futile filibuster of his own a few years ago that made liberals euphoric for a few hours, but that faded away so quickly that I'd forgotten about it until someone on Twitter mentioned it this morning. If she had filibustered for 12 hours in support of, say, higher spending for some pet liberal project, would "Wendy for Governor" be a thing among Democrats in Texas? It would have gotten some coverage, I think, despite her having a comparatively lower profile as a state senator, because the media wouldn't be able to resist the sisters-are-doing-it-for-themselves novelty of a woman politician staging a talking filibuster for hours when the men in her party wouldn't. But that too, I think, would have been a blip. Those pink sneakers don't achieve totemic status without her choosing an issue that's absolutely core to her party's national identity. She and Cruz have that in common, in fact. He's making his bones by drawing a line at stopping ObamaCare. She made hers drawing a line at stopping laws that would reduce late-term abortions. Naturally, she's a hero.
No doubt, the fact that Davis's filibuster came over a hot button social issue was part of the reason that her actions received a lot more media attention than Cruz's has so far. However, I think there's a more fundamental reason. For good or all, Davis actually managed to delay action on the legislation she was rising against. Because of her 13 hour speech, the Texas State Senate was unable to take a final vote on the late term abortion bill she was opposing before the Special Session that Governor Perry had called expired at midnight that day. It was, of course, only a temporary victory because Perry quickly called a second session that passed the bill quickly and, indeed, Davis herself didn't even bother to filibuster the bill a second time because she would not have been able to stop the bill or even delay it significantly. By contrast, nothing that Cruz did over the 21 hours, 19 minutes of the time he held the Senate floor didn't delay a thing and, indeed, is something that had been negotiated in advance between Cruz and Reid. In terms of newsworthy-ness, then, Davis's filibuster was arguably far more significant than Cruz's.
Another difference between the Cruz and Davis filibusters is that Davis was far more limited in what she could do to maintain her filibuster than Cruz was. Under the rules of the Texas Senate, a filibuster must be directly related to the bill before the body. If the person holding the floor deviates from the subject, then the party can object and attempt to bring the filibuster to an end. Indeed, several efforts to do just that were made during the course of Davis's filibuster by Republican leadership. Even if it were being treated under the U.S. Senate rules as a filibuster, Cruz's efforts had no such restrictions. Hence, he was able to opine on nearly any topic he wished as long as held the floor. Indeed, during the course of the speech, Cruz read from "Green Eggs And Ham," "Atlas Shrugged," and history books about the drafting of the Declaration Of Independence in addition to reading tweets from various people following the speech on Twitter. He was also able to "Yield for a question" from other Senators, something which at least gives the Senator filibustering a chance to rest there voice, if not their legs. Physical issues notwithstanding, that makes continuing on for 21 hours a lot easier than if one was forced to stick to the topic at hand.
One other point to keep in mind is that there was plenty of other news unfolding yesterday other than Senator Cruz's speech. President Obama gave a speech before the United Nations General Assembly, as did the new President of Iran. And, President Obama and President Clinton appeared together at the Clinton Global Initiatives annual meeting to discuss health care reform. Indeed, Wolf Blitzer and other primary cable news anchors were all in New York yesterday, not Washington.
So, there's a good case to be made that there were significant differences between the Cruz and Davis filibusters that explain some of the differing news coverage. While I have no doubt that the fact that she was speaking out for the pro-choice side of a controversial topic no doubt played a role in the coverage she got from places like MSNBC, it seems clear to me that there are real differences between what Wendy Davis did and what Ted Cruz did to make reflexive cries of "media bias" seem just a little bit hollow.

If Cruz did not actually conduct a filibuster, I don't think it's appropriate to refer to it as a filibuster.
Since one was a filibuster and one was not, it makes sense for the media to treat them differently.
Wow, this is great for conservatives, it's yet another opportunity for them to feel victimized, not that they need more opportunities and reasons to be angry. It's a victory all the way around for the perpetually resentful and outraged conservative movement – Cruz "filibusters" for 21 hours, the media "ignores" it, or characterizes it in an "unfavorable" manner. This stuff is always good for fundraising.
Ron Beasley says:
Cruz is one thing Davis is not – genuinely unlikable. That may also play a part.
jib10 says:
How convenient to forget the positive press Rand Paul got on his filibuster. But you know, that does not fit in the 'MEDIA BIAS!!11!!!' narrative so we will just forget it.
What has happened to the Tea Party? They were suppose to be about getting things done, a revolt against the party repubs who just talked about being conservative while voting for biz as usual. Now the Tea Party is all about countless symbolic votes against ObamaCare and fake filibusters.
@jib10:
The Tea Party was never about getting things done. It was a vehicle for old white people to express their panic at discovering they've lost control. It was never about anything but raw emotion coupled with willful ignorance.
I don't pay attention to the news outlets that praised Wendy Davis, so I can't make any comparison. I think one difference is the perception that Cruz's activity may have endangered government funding. That makes it more "real", especially to the DC news crowd. I also think that there's something weird about the left's reaction to Cruz. I've talked about it before when it's shown up on this site. I swear, Mike Lee could shoot a cop and people would spread angry rumors about Ted Cruz jaywalking.
I was half way through writing a comment at Politico on Beyers' piece when my day job intruded. Thank you, Doug, for reminding me and for your even handed treatment. In his piece Beyers actually touches on most of the reasons, many of them completely valid, why Davis got more favorable coverage. Then he ignores his own stuff and concludes that yes indeedy, it's bias.
At the risk of being downvoted, I'll mention the elephant in the room. Davis is an attractive woman, while Cruz bears an unfortunate, and oft remarked, physical resemblance to Joe McCarthy.
And let's not ignore the larger narrative. I often refer to the Main Stream Press as the Establishment Press. I think it more accurately reflects their real biases. Cruz's fight right now is as much against establishment GOPs as Obama. The press is taking the side of the establishment. So in this case it's not Democratic bias, it's establishment Republican bias against TP Republicans.
Rafer Janders says:
hile Cruz bears an unfortunate, and oft remarked, physical resemblance to Joe McCarthy.
Oh, it's not just a physical resemblance….
C. Clavin says:
So OTB is now comparing legitmate filibusters to specious political grand-standing.
OK. Guess there's a serious Cruz man-crush going on here.
Anyway…if even Republicans think Cruz is a total a$$-wipe…then it cannot be written off as liberal bias.
By the way…Obamacare premiums are cheaper than predicted.

walt moffett says:
The story that's more important is the link to the article where this outgassing was rearranged with Harry Reid.
Will also agree with the others her that cute females get more media attention than males.
MM2 says:
@Pinky: Because Cruz takes the public lead on these dumb endeavors. Lee does not. Similarly, people pay more attention to what John Boehner says rather than Mike Coffman.
@C. Clavin: I think it's something along the lines of the officer assessment: "His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity."
By the way, Limbaugh is now going after Fox for not being pro-Cruz enough. Isn't it wonderful when the other side turns into the proverbial firing circle?
How convenient to forget the positive press Rand Paul got on his filibuster.
True, but to be honest, many in the media were sympathetic to Rand Paul's cause that day, even if they are generally in disagreement with the man.
legion says:
Byers and his ilk are confused because they're trying to comprehend something they have no experience with – a news narrative based on facts & reporting. Josh Marshall didn't just "call" Ted Cruz an arrogant ass – he contacted numerous people who _knew_ Cruz – from as far back as his undergrad days (including Marshall himself) – and to a one, they all declared Cruz is an ass & always has been.
Davis' filibuster was fundamentally different from Cruz' grandstanding – Davis was actually trying to change something, while even Cruz admitted his effort was purely for show. Davis was opposed & abused by the classless thugs running the Texas statehouse – Harry Reid cooperated with Cruz to let him have all the air time he wanted for his one-man political commercial.
The two events were markedly different on pretty much _every_ level, so it's only logical that they were reported & portrayed differently. But logic has nothing to do with some people…
Gavrilo says:
The fact that Wendy Davis was elevated to national prominence for filibustering a bill that has absolutely no implications outside of Texas, and the majority of Texans support is, in itself, evidence of political bias.
Can you imagine if Wendy Davis had been a pro-life state senator filibustering a bill to increase funding for Planned Parenthood? Does anyone honestly believe she would have been treated the same way by the media?
@andrew e.:
This Cruz/Davis meme cropped up so fast and spread so quickly you'd think someone was passing around talking points.
Yeah, this is the first time ever that a blog has picked up a story from Politico.
James Pearce says:
@Pinky:

Many of the people making this complaint are in the same boat….
Gavrilo…
"…Can you imagine if Wendy Davis had been a pro-life state senator filibustering a bill to increase funding for Planned Parenthood?.."
Can you provide a link that supports your claim that Davis is not pro-life…that she is in fact against life?
rudderpedals says:
Davis might have caused fishes and loaves to fall on her colleagues but there'd still be dopes out there kvetching about his (Cruz's) awful reception (roughing up the refs)
Cruz should have gone with slippers and paisley.
john personna says:
I swear, Mike Lee could shoot a cop and people would spread angry rumors about Ted Cruz jaywalking.
So close. It would have been a sane post, without that one line.
(You are correct that the whole "shut down government" is a big part of the difference.)
@James Pearce: I doubt that's true. Conservatives who talk about media bias typically watch a disturbing amount of coverage. And do you think that they're wrong in saying that Davis got favorable coverage and Cruz hasn't? Analysis of the reasons why aside, do you think that they're wrong?
@john personna: Thanks for the concession. But seriously, keep your eyes open for disproportionate anti-Cruz reactions, and you'll be surprised how much you'll find.
@C. Clavin:
Would you prefer it if I described her as pro-abortion?
Gavrillo…
No. You should describe her accurately…pro-choice…and yourself as anti-choice.
I know Republican positions fall apart when subjected to facts.
Maybe that should tell you something?
"…Analysis of the reasons why aside…"
Exactly what "choice" are you in favor of?
anjin-san says:
It's so darned unfair that anyone who has worked as hard as Cruz has to draw attention to himself should get anything other than favorable reviews for his actions.
Why it's unfair, I'm not sure, but apparently it is…
Byers talking about bias? That's a laugh. Of course, most of his links are to opinion pieces, and as noted above, he ignores the coverage of Rand Paul's filibuster. Hack.
And do you think that they're wrong in saying that Davis got favorable coverage and Cruz hasn't? Analysis of the reasons why aside, do you think that they're wrong?
Yes, they're wrong
A) comparing unlike things.
B) mistaking opinion writing for reporting
C) stating facts (e.g. this was not a filibuster) is not an example of bias
Matt Bernius says:

I personally think Mike Lee is pretty odious. But I think that the attention to Cruz that you note is caused by the following facots:
1. Mike Lee, in my experience, doesn't do a lot of "mainstream" press interviews. He constantly shows up on the Fox/CMC circuit. So he has less exposure in the mainstream press.
2. Cruz tends to "drop bigger bombs" rhetorically (see half the crazy crap he says), and is the one to actually put himself forward — so being in the spotlight more by choice, he receives more attention. While Lee also has said some crazy things, they are actually usually no where near as crazy as the soundbite Cruz gives.
3. Cruz has been marketed as (including to some degree self-marketed as) the future face of the Republican party – one of the even Younger Guns. He's even seen as having presidential asperations in 2016. Mike Lee, again, not so much.
4. Cruz is MUCH MUCH more charismatic than Lee.
As the phrase goes, soweth the wind…
The choice not to have your superstitions and myths imposed on me.

@andrew e.: This Cruz/Davis meme cropped up so fast and spread so quickly you'd think someone was passing around talking points. Just saying.
My money says that JournoList (or whatever they're calling it now) picked up on it and started coordinating their pooh-poohing of it.
If I understand your position correctly, what Cruz did was stupid and shallow and dangerous, but we shouldn't talk about it too much, because that's mean.
Conservatives who talk about media bias typically watch a disturbing amount of coverage.
To the contrary, conservatives who talk about media bias demand media bias. They get really uncomfortable when their biases are challenged and really upset when they are not reflected back to them.
That makes it very easy for me to dismiss such concerns.
Sounds like you're not so disturbed by media bias as you are in thrall to it.
(Perhaps Pinky is offering what we could call Victimization Lite.)
@C. Clavin: Sane people often try to collect the facts before forming an opinion. So yes, analysis of the facts aside, I think it's reasonable to look at the facts first.
@john personna: You characterize my opinion that way based on what, exactly?
JWH says:
I can think of two other key differences:
1) Perhaps because state politics don't get quite the same coverage as national politics, Davis's filibuster seemed like something fresher and more spontaneous than Cruz's talkathon. As far as national media are concerned, Ted Cruz's speech was the latest permutation in his months-long crusade against Obamacare. Meanwhile, Davis's speech, even if it was completely scripted. seemed to come from out of the blue. That gave it a little more zing when national media moved in to cover it.
2) There's some stage-setting at play here, too. A politician's peers help set the tone for media coverage. When Davis spoke, her fellow Democrats were right there to say nice things about her and cheer her on. Meanwhile, as Cruz spoke, some establishment Republicans took time out of their schedules to put a few knives in his back. (See, e.g., Rep. Peter King). I think those attitudes likely affected the tenor of media coverage.
"…So yes, analysis of the facts aside, I think it's reasonable to look at the facts first…"
@Gavrilo:
Get out of here. Reality is not welcome.
@ Pinky
I think it's reasonable to look at the facts first.
I don't pay attention to the news outlets that praised Wendy Davis
You are claiming media bias, but by your own admission, you don't pay attention to the media outlets you claim are biased.
That leads us to suspect you are simply parroting claims of media bias made by media outlets that tell you things you like to hear.
You like to present yourself as one of the serious people in the room. Actually you know – being serous – would help you with that.
keep your eyes open for disproportionate anti-Cruz reactions, and you'll be surprised how much you'll find.
I see quite a lot… and the overwhelming majority of it comes directly from other Republicans. Democrat reactions appear to be largely bemused pity. How does that fit in with your whole "media bias" worldview?
@andrew:
Reality is not welcome.
When you acknowledge it, come back and we'll talk.
Cruz votes for Cloture…on the bill he spent all night Phoney-Philibustering.
Then he tells one of the party leaders…Limbaugh…that some Senators think their constituents are "gullible rubes".
Some political party…that GOP…
RaflW says:
Wow. Now I remember why I haven't been to OTB in months.
This is the hot topic? Butthurt over perceived differences in media coverage of two speeches?
Newsflash: the rates are in, and the thing that will destroy America is actually a huge flashing signpost that markets work. If conservatives weren't so obsessed with butthurt over that Obama guy/democrats wining something, sometimes, they'd notice that occasionally, free market reforms work.
This should be a huge win for market liberalizers. But the Obama derangement has ruined any chance to take credit for injecting market mechanisms into a previously monopolistic and stilted insurance market.
Congrats on wasting even more time on Cruz and Betlway boohoo.
What's so weird about a negative reaction to Cruz that is based upon his actual arrogance and somewhat socially malevolent personality? Seems to me to be a rational and logical reaction.
You characterize my opinion that way based on what, exactly?
I was giving you some credit for what you wrote earlier:
I think one difference is the perception that Cruz's activity may have endangered government funding. That makes it more "real", especially to the DC news crowd.
If you don't actually understand what "endangering government funding" means, and really do think it only matters to "the DC news crowd" then I take it all back.
If that's the case, you don't know what you are talking a bout.
Republicans were quick to complain that the press didn't sufficiently cover Ted Cruz's speech — specifically claiming that the Wendy Davis filibuster in Texas received more and more favorable coverage.
The only problem? As far as more coverage is concerned, it simply wasn't true, as both Philip Bump and Jason Linkins document in detail. Turns out it wasn't close; whether it was live coverage on the cable news networks or newspaper coverage, Cruz was treated as a major story while Davis, well, wasn't.…..
But it doesn't help him that the accusations about his faux-libuster were largely correct. If the press was trying to correctly convey what he was up to, that meant that, yes, Cruz would look bad. That's not media bias; that's reporting.
Go read everything in between.
@Pinky: @Pinky: Also – Mike who?
Davebo says:
Davis filibustered. Cruz didn't.
When given the opportunity to cast a vote on the bill she opposed Davis voted against it. Cruz voted for the bill he opposed.
Other than those two items the situations are identical.
I wonder how many of the media went after Cruz because the Republicans themselves gave them cover. If there hadn't been Republicans piling it on would they have been so critical?
@RaflW: That's exactly correct. The Republicans are not attacking the ACA they are attacking Obama.
Ernieyeball says:
So how far off topic can we go here? Let's see…
@Gavrilo:Exactly what "choice" are you in favor of?
The free choice of a pregnant woman in the United States to have a safe and legal abortion. Something that is her choice to make and absolutely none of your business.
See, the wingnut press and blogs went nuts hating on Wendy Davis, and since they live in a bubble, they just assumed that there was widespread coverage of her, that it was biased (of course), and that Cruz has been ignored or subject to negatively biased press coverage. It doesn't matter that the facts don't support any of this. Reality is the enemy of the wingnut.
Jeremy R says:
The regular media actually didn't cover the Davis filibuster at all. It was mainly a social media phenomenon, where a Reddit submission to the livestream hit the top of the front page, and over 100,000 concurrently watched online. The next day the media picked it up because of the massive social media interest, the fact it was an actual filibuster, and the dramatic conclusion where she and the overflowing gallery actually succeed in derailing the final legislative session. In Cruz's case he's received a tremendous amount of media coverage throughout his stunt, even though he's not actually filibustering, just giving a speech he scheduled with Harry Reid with no real purpose besides raising money and extremist cred.
What a funny line from the National Review:
The country has been spoiling for a real fight since the election of 2008, and now it has one.
The election of 2012? Right under the rug.
It's probably because Cruz is a bit of a joke.
He didn't filibuster. He didn't even slow anything down. He just stood there. He "filibustered" the very bill that he encouraged the House to pass. He's eminently mockable.
He's just not someone you should take seriously.
@Ernieyeball: Can we really get off this entire topic. I've been waiting to get some words on foreign policy, especially with respect to Obama's speech and potential interactions with Iran. You know, something more important?
Scott…you won't be reading anything about potential Obama successes here.
@Scott: You know, something more important?
More important than what?
It was a show, folks. When you've been thoroughly emasculated, any publicity is good publicity.
In all that talk did Cruz present his replacement plan or his health insurance idea?
@Jc: Of course not. Remember, all this was, was Cruz striking pompous poses to fleece the rubes.
@Pinky: ". I also think that there's something weird about the left's reaction to Cruz."
Yeah, it's really bizarre that liberals don't like a man who calls them Nazis. Really bafflling.
Grewgills says:
Perhaps the largest difference*, Wendy Davis didn't bully members of her own party in the Texas House to pass the bill she filibustered.
* I am rather surprised to be the second to mention it 65 comments in
at the end of the day they were both futile and they knew it ahead of time. a del female in pink sneakers is much more msm friendly than ted cruz. wendy davis has little chance of being a governor in Texas, she might be able to make it to congress- but she'll need lot's of outside money as well as moving to a favorable district.
if cruz was a democrat he would be an HISPANIC, and he would get much better press.
Moderate Mom says:
@C. Clavin: He didn't vote for cloture. He voted for a motion to proceed. Just another one of the esoteric rules of the Senate that seems to confuse everyone.
The cloture vote won't take place until either Friday or Saturday. Something tells me that Cruz will be a nay vote.
Tillman says:
Since Clavin decided to deflect the question with pointless sophistry instead of answering it, allow me:
No, probably not. Not because of media bias, but, as has been pointed out, the media covered the story after it achieved a large amount of social media attention. Without that, the story would have been entirely ignored by national media.
Of course, it's possible the same social media users would have flagged the livestream of the pro-life state senator's filibuster, but I imagine the tone would've been different if only because those users trend socially liberal to begin with.
I also think that there's something weird about the left's reaction to Cruz.
If by "the left" you mean "everyone outside the crazy 27% and their enablers." Across the spectrum, I see most sane people agreeing that Cruz is a grandstanding jackass.

She's the best – one the few GOP politicians who is a source of motivation for grass roots Democrats. She's also the best source of material for comedians and comedy writers going on right now.
Annalise Mantz says:
Mr. Mataconis,
The increasingly polarized Washington, D.C. political climate lends itself easily to the scrutiny of all news outlets for evidence of media bias. However, as you point out so succinctly in this post, other considerations such as news value and the validity of the event usually play a much bigger role than politics in the way journalists portray elected officials. In the case of Texas Sen. Wendy Davis and Sen. Ted Cruz, their stories have fundamentally different angles that alter the way that the news media covers them. When Cruz began speaking on the Senate floor, he knew he could not hold off the implementation of the Affordable Care Act indefinitely. He had already approached Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to ask for the time to speak his mind, and knew it would only last until Wednesday afternoon at the latest. When Davis began speaking on the Texas Senate floor, however, she had a concrete goal in mind: to run out the clock on the legislative session and prevent a bill from passing. The American people and the media saw the pure simplicity of Davis' goal and latched onto it. Davis' use of a filibuster actually democratically advanced her goal, while Cruz's nearly daylong speech only served his own desire to speak his mind. Cruz even acknowledged his goal in the first few minutes of the speech, saying "I intend to speak in opposition to ObamaCare, I intend to speak in support of defunding ObamaCare, until I am no longer able to stand." From the perspective of the media, Davis' filibuster was inherently more attractive because it drew on the ideals of democracy and morality, and came organically out of her political convictions. By contrast, Cruz's filibuster was negotiated ahead of time and contributed only to his own satisfaction. In terms of news judgment, Davis' story was more enjoyable for journalists to write and therefore gained a more positive frame.
Though not every unflattering story of a politician comes from a political bias, I maintain that we cannot always automatically rule it out. As you say in your piece, the "reflexive cries of "media bias" seem just a little bit hollow" when used as a way for pundits to tear down an article they dislike. In other cases, however, media bias can have a real impact on the framing of a story. Davis, for instance, became a media darling, garnering coverage like the positively glowing Vogue profile glamorizing everything from her upbringing to entrance into politics. On the other hand, few national newspapers even mentioned Cruz on their front pages on the day of his long speech on the Senate floor, but several called out his actions on their editorial pages as "futile" and the equivalent of a tired army general failing to marshal his troops. This wide discrepancy in coverage cannot stem from the differences in the stories alone. Whether consciously or not, media outlets viewed Davis in an inherently positive light, and Cruz in a negative one. The general public must not forget that journalists hold political views just like any other citizens, and those views may occasionally seep through in their writing.

N.J. hasn't doled out any money from Superstorm fund
The Sandy relief fund chaired by New Jersey first lady Mary Pat Christie has raised more than $32 million so far.
But four months after the superstorm, none of that aid has reached storm victims yet.
In an interview with the Asbury Park Press, the first lady pointed to the logistical challenge of starting a charity from scratch and the relief fund's focus on addressing long-term recovery needs, instead of short-term relief.
She also cited her own "methodical" approach to putting the proper resources and safeguards in place as reasons for the delay.
Mrs. Christie says it was never the intent for the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund to quickly provide monetary aid directly to storm victims. Instead, the plan was to lend support to reputable nonprofit groups that will be providing victims with financial assistance and other services in the months and years to come.
The relief fund plans to distribute $1 million in grants this week, with another $5 million to follow several weeks after that.

While fashion's favourites were caught up in the chaos of another fashion week on this side of border, actor Fawad Khan was having a fashion moment himself at the Grazia Young Fashion Awards in India. Dressed in crisp, black Ermenegildo Zegna tux and Christian Louboutin shoes, sans socks of course, the Pakistani heartthrob melted many a heart. And so, it was no surprise that Khan walked away with the Crush of the Year award, Thursday night.
Khan was spotted in the quirkiest of moods and when asked to list down the most fashionable people in the Indian film industry, the actor replied cheekily, "Should I start from number one? Me." He later acknowledged that while everyone in Bollywood has a unique sense of style, he is particularly fond of Ranveer Singh. "Ranveer has the quirkiest sense of fashion and at the same time he can be very dapper. He has got a very eclectic taste in fashion," he added.
While Khan took home the trophy for Crush of the Year, his friend and co-star Sonam Kapoor was awarded the title of Cover Girl of the Year whereas newbie Athiya Shetty won Style Debutante of the Year award.


Glass canopies offer numerous advantages to commercial and domestic entrances and are very practical for use. A canopy to an office entrance can provide protection to harsh weather elements as you fumble for door keys or even be the much-needed dry area for visitors or customers who are in line waiting to be served. Canopy glasses used for commercial glass entrance have another use altogether, and that is complimenting the aesthetics of a place. Commercial glass entrance designed as canopies in buildings today are the epitome of modern architecture, they scream luxury and are an indication of quality.
A glass canopy gives a striking appeal to several types of entrances that would otherwise be let down by any other type of lesser materials such as plastic and polycarbonate materials. Glass canopies provide the wow factor and set a certain tone and mood to visitors making them linger just a little bit longer at a premise. The aesthetical value of commercial glass canopies is so appealing that customers are drawn to the doorway and are left with a permanent first impression of what grandeur and design are all about.
Glass forming and forging technologies go back to the eighteenth century and have changed at a fast pace. The changes in technology are expanding the sculptural and functional possibilities of this wonderful material. The built environment is ushering in a utopian design and feel of built infrastructure as hot and cold glass bending methods evolve. Glass bending technology and methods allow architects material repertoire to expand and invite light to our entrances in ways that one would think to be utterly impossible.
Glass is very different from most other materials. Scientists regard it as a liquid structure in solid form, and this presents several challenges in accounting for its strength and technologies to bend it. As glass differs from so many other materials at the molecular level, it handles stress very differently and its response to the application of a bending force is breaking and failing. Due to this unique nature of glass, its strength is not accounted for in bending processes; its strength is statistical in nature and engineers calculate the possibility of glass breaking in forging processes. These properties come in hand to determine the possible utility of glass in varied architectural settings.
Commercial glass canopies are tempered either chemically or thermally, and this process makes them surprisingly strong in bending processes. Such processes make it possible to use the glass in a variety of structures. When glass is subjected to heat in a bending process, microscopic cracks appear on the surface, and its strength is at that point as good as its weakest crack. Tempering the glass works by tightening the microscopic cracks by putting the surface of the glass on a compressive stress and the inside to a tensile stress. Bending glass can also be done by lowering the temperature of the material, and this can be done on the building site at temperatures that are relatively low, at times room temperature.


Although it has taken me far too long to get back in touch, I just wanted to say thank you for all your help in guiding me towards my beautiful Suzanne Neville 'Monet'.
Whilst I may at times have tried to resist it in getting swept up in trend-led looks, it was the full skirt (and that fabulous bodice!) that gave me the feeling I've dreamt of from the minute I first stepped into it.
It was classic, classy and had that little touch of old-Hollywood glamour that hinted to the likes of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn which made it so completely dreamy for me. All in all, it felt and looked completely timeless. It is wonderful to think that when we look back on photos in years to come, whilst the two of us undoubtedly will, that beautiful dress won't age a day.
The fit too was absolute perfection – I'm so glad to have had my little moment to wear one of Suzanne Neville's stunning designs in my lifetime, and I absolutely put every last millimetre of perfection down to Sam's precision and attention to detail in my fittings. I enjoyed every moment I spent with you Sam, thank you for your kindness and commitment to getting me picture perfect.
Suzanne Neville designer day in full swing!

Take charge of your well being with an adventurous Cycling ride that leads to a rustic farm where we learn the Art of Kitchen Gardening.
As a step towards healthy living we kick start our Sunday morning with a dose of adventure cycling across an earthen side of Mumbai. After working out a sweat we ride to an open farm field where we learn how to use our kitchen waste to grow our own vegetables in our balconies and home spaces.
Picture cycling through a picturesque colonial town to greet a stunning sun rising from an ocean, followed by having an East Indian, home cooked breakfast on a spacious farm with a teaming steam and lively mangroves on one side, a golden meditation pagoda on the other side with a backdrop of a waking city skyline at a distance. Amidst such pristine setting, learning a skill that cultivates self-reliance and healthy living, and reduces, recycles and reuses kitchen waste by using it to home grow regularly used kitchen ingredients.
It's a unique weekend of adventure and learning for everyone, whether you are solo, with friends or with family, you're sure to have a great experience.
- Meet up at Borivali jetty at 6 am.
- Greetings and Introductions followed by a briefing.
The cycling part of the event requires a very basic level of fitness. While the workshop part requires no fitness level. Anyone and everyone can participate.
Clothes that don't restrict your movement.
The farm site is equipped with an earthen style dry pit toilet.
Cycling and gardening are outdoor activity so it essential to respect nature and be mindful of our surroundings. We should always mind that Mother Nature chooses the weather and it is important for us to stay grounded and keep our heads over our shoulders, to not panic and to keep confidence in the decision of the organizers.

When ib-bank-systems GmbH was founded, in 2002, the scope of the application processes topic primarily covered the perspective of a bank. In accordance with the requirements at that time, comprehensive processes for the close management of staff were defined and developed. When financial products are highly standardised then this is also relatively simple. With increasing flexibilisation the processes became too rigid and, thus, inflexible. Over the years, the processes changed from close management and complex procedures to optimised procedures and greater flexibility for processing. As a consequence of this, other aspects have in turn come to the fore, e.g. data quality assurance.
With our wealth of specialist and methodological experience, going back more than 10 years, we would be pleased to advise you and to find the right application processes for you, or to optimise your existing ones.
