As part of Children's Mental Health week, CEO of Freedom From Abuse, Marilyn Hawes examines what lockdown has done to the mental health of children and examines the role of resilience. Click here to read the article.
As a teacher Marilyn attended many courses on Child Protection and asks why none of them gave information on how to recognise "grooming" to protect children. Her three sons were victims of grooming and abuse by the Head teacher who was both Marilyn's boss for 10 years and best friend for 17 years, therefore she has LIVED EXPERIENCE.
Marilyn regularly speaks to the Media, public, organisations, schools, conferences, parents and children across the UK to break the culture of silence and resistance educating people with correct, relevant and vital information to prevent child sexual abuse and tune into their instincts.
Unafraid of speaking out, Marilyn is well known for her strong, pragmatic views. Even so, she has empathy and friendly approach which reaches out encouraging people to address the issues by raising their understanding which makes for a safer future for children and their families.
Marilyn has been involved in many TV programs such as Chrissy B Show, 'Judges in the Dock' with Mark Easton from BBC. She has appeared on BBC " Songs of Praise " and is regularly involved with BBC News, Radio 5 Live, SKY news, Press and others. Marilyn was also awarded "Most inspirational Woman of the year 2017 "
Marilyn passionately believes victims need not make their childhood abuse a life sentence – with appropriate therapy and support systems they can thrive – not merely survive!
Freedom from Abuse training is now delivered in every sector across UK.

I am very excited to be working alongside Hertfordshire Practical Parenting Program where I will be offering mindfulness tool and skills to help enhance participants everyday lives. Through various different mindfulness activities, practices and reflective discussions we can find a way of transforming our relationship to ourselves, others and the world around us, helping reduce stress and anxiety levels giving ourselves the opportunity to feel more positive balanced and fulfilled.
Alongside the Hertfordshire Practical Patenting Program I also work with Phoenix Against Domestic Abuse. These sessions offer survivors the opportunity to think about themselves and attempt to calm down their threat and drive systems which are overstimulated due to their experiences. I am able to pull upon my vast knowledge and training in mindfulness and also compassion to gift participants with the tools and practices required to take themselves out of the drive and threat system helping to activate the self soothing system thus offering the knowledge and skills required to relax and see the world through a kinder softer lens of awareness (often a very difficult place to get to having been in such traumatic situations).

In 2010 Ailsa the CEO of Hertford Oasis and I could see there was a large gap in provisions for young adults with learning disabilities where they could attend a day care service that was age appropriate.
Initially it was Hertford Oasis that we started together and as it grew, I opened Oasis 2 in Cottered near Buntingford. We are 2 separate companies but work together with the same aims, objectives and ethos.
Ailsa was Head of Art at the Valley School in Stevenage and I had worked for HCC for 28+ years at senior social work level in the Shared Care and fostering team so brought with us extensive knowledge and understanding of the difficulties these young people face. Both venues are lucky to have experienced staff where they have worked in social care/education/residential units.
Oasis 2 is a day care provision for young adults to come and be supported to help them improve their independence skills to lead a healthy and active life. We have a structured day where our weekly topics help them gain a greater understanding of relationships, communication, cooking, budgeting and shopping, healthy eating, exercise, what's going on in the world etc. Our hours are 10-3pm and we are open 50 weeks per year. Our groups are small with 8/9 students per day with 4 members of staff supporting.
The structured day always includes an art/craft activity, shopping for lunch, preparing lunch etc which is included in the costs. We are fortunate to have the use of a sports hall on site and sports field where we play boccia, snooker, badminton, table tennis etc. We have also put on various courses for our students such as Yoga, Zumba dance, modern dance, personal training sessions.
At Oasis 2 we strongly believe in giving our students as many experiences as possible where we have set them up with their own company of designing greetings cards, having them professionally printed, opportunities to sell their cards so experiencing the world of work, improving communication skills, gain in confidence, earn a wage for their work. All the profit they make is then shared between our students in December of each year. This has shown our students to really improve in so many ways.
Oasis 2 is accredited by Hertfordshire County Council and this is just a brief snapshot of who we are.

Pledge It was founded on the belief that sports can be a powerful force for positive community and social impact. We empower our community of teams, athletes and fitness enthusiasts to make a difference by raising money for needs and causes that are meaningful to them. We provide a sports crowdfunding platform that empowers athletes to raise money based on their performance. Our do-it-yourself platform makes it easy to raise money with every touchdown, home run, or goal scored. We help teams and athletes raise the money they need while playing the game they love and we do it for FREE!
When Scott (Pledge It's founder) was playing football at Penn State, he learned that his father had been diagnosed with a rare disease and that nothing could be done. The team rallied around an idea they had to hold a summer lifting competition known as the "Lift For Life" as a way to attract fans and media so they could share their story. In the first 15 months, they raised over $50,000 for rare disease research. Scott knew that he had the start of a powerful platform, and it was just a matter of time before he would have the chance to create a solution that helped harness the power sports for good.
Pledge It was officially started when Devon Still of the Cincinnati Bengals (and Scott's friend) learned that his daughter Leah had been diagnosed with cancer, he turned to Scott to help him create the campaign to "Sack Cancer" during the 2014 NFL Season. Sack Cancer was the first campaign and many more have since followed. Pledge It's origin story is rooted at Penn State, but its impact is much, much larger.

Time and duration. Increments. Segments. Blocks. Threads. We tend to think of time in terms of the astronomical events that govern our existence. The turning of the earth, day and night, the seasons, the passage of a year, the duration of a life.
Time may be an illusion. Try to imagine time without the material clock. Anything can be a clock. The universe is a vast clock--beyond the limits of our comprehension.
Days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millennia.
We often think of centuries as demarcations of cultural descent--as if human history could be characterized by the familiar qualities we assign to them, in retrospect. The 19th Century is the "Victorian Age." Sometimes, we think of the 20th Century as the "Atomic Age." Perhaps the 21st Century will be known as the "Digital Age."
We divide up the passage of our lives into such convenient brackets of time, in order to get a handle on the course of history.
What is it about decades that makes them seem so specific and meaningful?
When I think of my life, it is as a series of stepped ratchets, a progression of rising increments, which are years, months and days.
The year I was born, Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, the first African American to break the barrier of the Big Leagues. The Hollywood "Black List" was created by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Andre Gide won the Nobel Prize. A Streetcar Named Desire opened on Broadway, starring Marlon Brando.
In 1957, when I was 10, Kerouac's On the Road, Cheever's Wapshot Chronicle were published. The Bridge on the River Kwai and Peyton Place debuted in theaters. The Soviet Union launched the satellite "Sputnik."
As we grow up, our consciousness of the limits of our attention expands exponentially. As toddlers, our world consists of the dimensions of the world we inhabit. By late childhood, say age 12, we're aware of our neighborhood, our town, our state, our nation, the globe, and outer space. Our sense of our place in the larger scheme of the progression of time begins to materialize--we begin to think of years and decades as having almost a physical presence, as if they were plateaus of space, though we know this is only hypothetical, that there is no marked transition between the tenth year of one decade, and first year of the next.
Did I feel anything specific or memorable, in 1970, as the Sixties passed into history? I can't recall. There is often a feeling of a new beginning, of a promise of something going to occur.
Historically, time may be measured in administrations, or in the life of a monarch, or in convulsions, such as the American Revolution, or the Russian Revolution, or great wars.
Technologically, we may measure time through the incremental advance of inventions: The Cotton Gin, The Railroad, The Telephone, The Automobile, The Radio, Television, The Atom Bomb, The Airplane, The Computer, The Pill. These are both mind- and civilization-altering developments, which create their own demarcation in time, after which things can never be the same.
Thomas Wolfe wrote several fictional novels about his own experience. Pouring out thousands of pages, living in New York, the over-riding sensation he felt was nostalgia, a nostalgia which overwhelmed him. His fictional record, which was the only means by which he could revisit the events of his past life, was like a vast project to defeat time by preserving and recreating it. He was only 37 when he died in 1938.

Q: Should I use a property or a method for a calculated value?
Possible Duplicate:
Properties vs Methods

I have some vector geometry classes, and there is lots of functionality I don't know whether to implement as (readonly) properties or methods. Examples include:
Vector.Length                   or              Vector.Length()
Vector.Perpendicular            or              Vector.Perpendicular()
Matrix.Determinant              or              Matrix.Determinant()
Matrix.Inverse                  or              Matrix.Inverse()

Should I implement these as methods, or as properties? None of them mutate the object they apply to, so in that respect, they seem suited as properties. On the other hand, they involve calculations (albeit small ones - this is 2D geometry), which is apparently bad for properties.
Is there any rule as to which I should use in this scenario?

A: Properties are meant for enabling the Uniform Access Principle, and thus properties is the best choice here eventhough you got some calculations. This is because they are things that describe an object more than doing things to an object and do not require parameters for any external calculation.
With right to mutation, getters should not mutate and setters may mutate according to the Command Query Separation Principle.

A: I would implement Vector.Length and Matrix.Determinant as properties, as they entail very lightweight calculations (2D).
However, Matrix.Inverse and Vector.Perpendicular don't fit, IMHO, as properties because they aren't describing the object. They are returning a new object that happens to comply with some mathematical condition. I'd implement these as Vector.GetPerpendicular() and Matrix.GetInverse()
But of course, this is just personal taste. I'd do it that way but its perfectly fine to implement them all as properties.

A: Usually people assume that properties are not too expensive to invoke and that they will complete in near constant time.  It sounds like you would be fine with a property.

A: People generally expect methods to take some time to execute (and potentially throw) while this is less true for properties.
For instance you are more likely to have a property as a condition in a for loop than you are to see a method there. Methods are somewhat expected to have side-effects while properties are expected to not mutate the object.
As a rule of thumb, if you are comfortable with your properties being executed hundreds of times then they are ok.
If you go with methods, it might help it you call them GetXxx().

Almopia (), or Enotia, also known in the Middle Ages as Moglena (Greek: Μογλενά, Macedonian and Bulgarian: Меглен or Мъглен), is a municipality and a former province (επαρχία) of the Pella regional unit in Macedonia, Greece. The seat of the municipality is the town Aridaia. The municipality has an area of 985.817 km2.

Name and history

The name Almopia (, Almōpia) derives from the Almopes (), a Paeonian tribe that originally inhabited the area before being expelled from the region during the reign of Alexander I (r. 498–454 BC) when Almopia was incorporated into the ancient Macedonian kingdom. The Almopes traced their descent to the eponymous mythological figure of Almops, son of the Greek God Poseidon and Helle. The 2nd-century astronomer and geographer Claudius Ptolemy records three cities in the region in his Geography: Horma (), Europos () and Apsalos ().

In the early Byzantine period, the area was renamed to Enotia (Greek: Ενωτία) after a nearby fortress, probably in the vicinity of modern Notia. The name was revived between 1915 and 1927 for the Greek province as well.

In the later Middle Ages, the area was known as Moglena (Greek: Μογλενά, , ), from the Slavic word for "fog". Until the early 11th century, Moglena was a province of the First Bulgarian Empire. Captured by the Byzantine emperor Basil II in 1015, it is attested as the seat of a bishopric in 1020, and as capital of its own theme in 1086. The area remained under Byzantine rule until the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, when it was captured by Tsar Kaloyan of the Second Bulgarian Empire. It was incorporate in the Serbian Empire by Stefan Dušan in 1346. Moglena was inhabited mainly by Megleno-Romanians and Slavic people. In Ottoman times, the region was also known by its Turkish name Karacova or Karadjova valley ("Black Valley", Greek: Καρατζόβα) or in Ottoman Turkish: كاراجاوا.

Until the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922) and the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1924, Muslim Macedonian Slavs and Megleno-Romanians made up part of the population.

Municipality
The municipality Almopia was formed at the 2011 local government reform by the merger of the following 2 former municipalities, that became municipal units:
Aridaia
Exaplatanos

Province
The province of Almopia (Επαρχία Αλμωπίας) was one of the three provinces of Pella Prefecture. Its territory corresponded with that of the current municipality of Almopia. It was abolished in 2006.

TALKERS | February 10, 2015
By Mike Kinosian
NEW YORK — Bon mots such as "iconic" and "legendary" are intended to be the highest form of flattery, yet some broadcasters bristle when they are referred to that way.
While most will not admit it, they sense such genuine terms of endearment are really euphemisms that bring their mortality into question and are code for "old."
In an oftentimes, if not all too customary, flavor-of-the-month industry where the next great star is eaten up and spit out after a 26-week run, it would be disingenuous though not to ascribe "icon/iconic" and "legend/legendary" to a talk host who has been top-of-mind for over three-dozen years.
This particular peerless personality has maintained an impeccable status of excellence while breaking basic (unwritten) talk radio rules.
Exemplary on-air work that is approaching four decades has been done without political bent and her legend of loyal listeners actually have meaningful life-altering changes owing to the unparalleled expertise of the program's sage host. In a male-dominated spoken-word personality arena, this show's headliner is one of only 12 women on TALKERS' renowned "Heavy Hundred" of 2014, checking in at #44. (The new list for 2015 will be published within the next few weeks and this writer would not be surprised if she moves up significantly due to recent developments in her dynamic career.)
Added twist to the progressing journey of this generously genial, uncommonly cordial licensed clinical psychologist is that Dr. Joy Browne has taken proprietorship of her daily three-hour program.
TALKERS | October 3, 2011
Bob Pittman Named CEO of Clear Channel Media Holdings. Acting on the faith it has in Bob Pittman to take Clear Channel into the future, the company's board of directors announces it is naming him chief executive officer of CC Media Holdings which includes Clear Channel Radio and Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings. He came aboard last November as an investor and chairman of media and entertainment platforms. Pittman's career includes his visionary work as co-founder of the MTV Network, CEO of AOL Networks, Six Flags Theme Parks, Quantum Media, Century 21 Real Estate, and Time Warner Enterprises. In his new role he'll join the board of directors of CC Media Holdings, Inc. and Clear Channel Communications, Inc. In addition, he will join the board of directors of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., as its executive chairman. Bain Capital managing director John Connaughton says, "I'm thrilled we were able recruit Bob into the CEO role at Clear Channel. He is the perfect fit to lead this incredibly powerful media platform. He embraces creativity and has given employees the motivation and freedom to innovate, take risks and succeed. He thinks big, is not afraid of change and is intensely focused on driving new businesses, expanding our creative talent and maximizing the full value of Clear Channel's extraordinary assets, ideas and people."
NPR Announces Gary Knell CEO. He doesn't start until December 1 but the chief of Sesame Workshop will take over the CEO post at NPR left vacant after the spring firing of former CEO Vivian Schiller. Knell's experience in politics (working in both the California legislature and in Washington, DC as counsel) and in broadcasting make him an appealing candidate to take NPR past the controversy that has dogged it recently. NPR board chairman Dave Edwards calls Knell, "an extraordinary leader with extensive experience in public media, programming and education." Knell tells NPR's David Folkenflick he intends to depoliticize the company. "It's not about liberal or conservative — it's about fairness. We've got to make the case we're delivering a fair service, not only in the way we do our jobs, but in the way we disseminate the news."
AURN Cancels the Bev Smith Show. American Urban Radio Networks announces the Bev Smith show will cease being offered by the network after October 28. It was reported recently that Smith would wrap up production of her show due in part to illness but Smith denies that, telling the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the cancellation is "about being a certain age and gender." AURN president of program operations and affiliations Jerry Lopes tells the Post-Gazette that the audience for Smith's show made it difficult to sell due to it being much older than the 25-54 demographic. "Her audience numbers were, frankly, skewing a lot older than that, which made the show less attractive to advertisers. We were forced to make some changes, and her show, unfortunately, was one of the casualties." Smith says she is working on getting another company to support her show so it can continue. She says, "I'm the town crier. I'm the voice of people who never get a chance to express their voice. I believe in this show."
Entercom Buffalo Names Allan Davis Program Director. Davis becomes program director at Entercom's sports WGR, Buffalo. Davis most recently served as programmer for Genesis Communications' stations in Tampa. He has programmed sports talk at KCSP, Kansas City; KFXX, Portland; CJCL, Toronto and more.
Katerina Perez Named Market Manager for CC Norfolk. Clear Channel announces Katerina Perez moves from her post as vice president and market manager at the company's Melbourne, Florida cluster to the market manager position at its Norfolk, Virginia cluster.
Ian Punnett Writes Children's Book for Halloween. Multifaceted talk show host Ian Punnett is known as somewhat of a renaissance man, between co-hosting a daily morning show in the Twin Cities with his wife of 27 years, Marge, on Hubbard Radio's myTalk107.1FM, serving as the regular Saturday night host of Premiere Networks' Coast to Coast AM, in addition to being the associate producer for two HD-DVD commercial productions of Minnesota Opera, an ordained pastor, a father of two sons, and a loving owner to a very peculiar dog that dreams of catching squirrels. Punnett has now immortalized his Boston Terrier, Jack, (adopted from a local rescue) in a children's book specifically designed for the coming Halloween holiday and what he describes as today's "edgier" young readers. Written with a "note of menace," the book is titled, Jackula the Vampire Dog. Punnett is donating all profits generated by the sale of the book in support of children's and animal charities nationwide. Published by Beaver's Pond Press, the hardcover book is available for $16.95 at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Powell's Books, Booktopia, and local boutique book stores. Punnett tells TALKERS, "It's important to me to do creative work for a greater purpose. Children's books can make kids laugh, bring families together and raise money at the same time." No stranger to things that go bump in the night, Jackula is the story of a little girl suffering from bad dreams who takes comfort in a stray dog that watches over her while she sleeps. But the dog has a secret – a secret that's good news for lonely little girls and bad news for the neighborhood squirrels. The book's dark humor has earned Punnett the honor of being called "Shel Silverstein-esque."
KGO, San Francisco Raises $200,000-Plus for Bay Area Food Banks. During a 14-hour broadcast on September 16, KGO and its listeners helped raise more than $200,000 for the Bay Area Food Banks. The KGO Fights Hunger Day Radio-thon consisted of special programming about the realities of hunger from both the KGO air staff and directly from families in the area affected by the struggle to provide healthy food even though they are employed. KGO operations director Jack Swanson says, "I am so proud of what our listeners and staff were able to accomplish in just 14 hours. This was an eye-opening experience for all of us and we all now know how much these vital services are needed in our community." As part of the programming, KGO personalities Jennifer Jones Lee, Ronn Owens, Gil Gross kept the focus on hunger throughout the day and KGO reporters Jeffrey Schaub and Rob Artigo aired interviews and poignant profiles of food bank clients from all walks of life.
31 Survivors in 31 Days. That's what KFBK, Sacramento morning news anchor Amy Lewis and the station are calling the breast cancer awareness campaign they are airing this month. In conjunction with the local Albie Carson Breast Cancer Foundation, Lewis is airing her interviews with 31 breast cancer survivors – one on each day this month – during morning and afternoon news. Lewis states, "Many of my friends and family are survivors of breast cancer. It was my goal to interview 31 survivors for the 31 days of October to remind people who are currently fighting it that they are not alone. No matter how long and difficult the battle might be, they're not fighting it by themselves. Because, to fight the battle against breast cancer, to help in the research, and to someday find a cure, we have to fight it – together."
WGN, Chicago Engineer Ed Wilk Passes Away. Longtime WGN, Chicago engineer Ed Wilk passed away last week. WGN general manager Tom Langmyer posted the following statement on his Facebook page over the weekend: "Ed was an incredible broadcast engineer and a tremendous man. He was positive, resourceful, dedicated and a man of great character & integrity. Ed worked at WGN for more than 30 years. He was a WGN family member who will be sorely missed. Condolences to Adrienne, the rest of his family and many friends."
Glenn Beck Israel Event Featured on GBTV Media Station. Premiere Networks nationally syndicated talk star Glenn Beck's "Restoring Courage" rally in Israel did not get the same press his "Restoring Honor" rally at the National Mall in Washington, DC one year ago did. However, Beck's address before the reported crowd of 1,700 near Jerusalem's Temple Mount and the reported 3,000 watching from a nearby viewing station was both beamed live to and archived on GBTV.com – the new media station programmed by Beck's Mercury Radio Arts company. Beck's new live, streaming "TV show" debuts on September 12 on GBTV.com and no doubt Beck hopes it will replace his Fox News Channel program that ended in June in the minds of many of his hard-core P1s. Regardless of criticism leveled at Beck by consumer media journalists for his message, one can argue that Beck and his staff may just be building a sterling example of well-programmed, revenue making digital news/talk content (media station) for the new era.
Cox Announces FM Sports Coming to Birmingham While Crosstown WJOX-FM Host Paul Finebaum Sues Employer Citadel. Cox Media Group confirms to the Birmingham Business Journal that it will flip country WNCB-FM to sports on Tuesday, August 30. General manager David DuBose says Eli Gold and Stan White will co-host the morning drive show, Matt Coulter – a former WJOX-FM host – will handle the 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm show and the station will be a Yahoo! Sports (formerly Sporting News Radio) affiliate. Meanwhile, across town Citadel's WJOX-FM and popular market sports personality Paul Finebaum are in a legal tussle. At issue it appears is Finebaum's contention that Citadel has not shared revenue for his program according to the terms of his contract and the sum in question exceeds $75,000, again according to the Birmingham Business Journal. Finebaum's attorney, Russ Campbell, refused to comment to the Journal but WJOX-FM general manager Bill Thomas issued a statement saying, "I feel very confident that the actions of Citadel and its employees with respect to Paul have been appropriate, and I expect that to be demonstrated if his lawsuit continues." Finebaum, whose popular show is known for superserving rabid fans of SEC football and basketball, is under contract with WJOX-FM through January of 2013. The Citadel station serves as the flagship for Finebaum's program. Cox's DuBose says if Finebaum's legal situation clears up, they would be interested in talking to him.
Cox Media Group Names Format Captains. Cox Media Group elevates seven program directors to format leaders for the company who will report to new director of radio programming Steve Smith.

Global Alliance for Liberal Arts
This entry was posted on 06.25.14, in Curriculum, Postsecondary. Bookmark the permalink.
The crucial role of liberal arts in higher education is being lost in universities worldwide, according to the vice-chancellor behind a new global network of colleges.
Christina Slade, head of Bath Spa University, said that global discussion about universities "privileges the hard sciences" while the identity of liberal arts is being "downplayed." She added that the British government's interest in vocational areas of study was also putting pressure on the field.
Professor Slade was speaking at the launch last week at Bath Spa of the Global Academy of Liberal Arts, a new network that brings together 16 universities around the world that offer liberal arts programs.
Institutions in the network will work on joint teaching programs, develop collaborative research and, it is hoped, offer opportunities for staff and students to move between them.
Such a network was needed to help develop new thinking and models of collaboration in the liberal arts, Slade said. "I don't think we can survive without being international," she added. "The liberal arts colleges have been under enormous pressure in the U.S. because people say they are expensive and don't really pay off in terms of jobs," she told Times Higher Education. <Read more.>

After years of futilely trying to persuade the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) to mitigate the horrendous rush-hour congestion, gridlock and horn-honking along Broome Street, as well as numerous appeals to repair the myriad cracked and broken crosswalks along Greene and Mercer Streets, the SoHo Alliance has begun working with the office of Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer to get some results.
Consequently, Stringer has called a press conference for tomorrow, Monday, January 23, at 12:30 at Broome and Mercer to request DOT to install "Don't Block The Box" warning signage as well as painted zebra-striping in the intersection. We believe this will alert drivers to keep the Broome Street intersections clear and prevent gridlock, thus enabling pedestrians and north/south traffic to move safely and freely.
But as a further deterrent, Stringer will call on both the NYS Senate and NYS Assembly Transportation Committees to install traffic cameras at crucial Broome Street intersections so that Don't Block the Box violators will face stiff fines.
Additionally, Borough President Stringer will request DOT to repair the pavers on the crosswalks along the length of Greene and Mercer Streets, which have deteriorated so badly since they were installed in the mid-90s that deep fissures and cracks create a hazardous condition to pedestrians and cyclists crossing these intersections.
Undaunted by criticism of her pedestrian plazas and bike lanes, city Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan is rolling out another pet project: "pop-up cafés" erected in gutters, traffic lanes and parking spots.
The Department of Transportation has green-lighted 12 applications by Manhattan and Brooklyn eateries to build 6-foot-wide wooden platforms alongside the curbs of city streets.
The scheme is revving up just days after Sadik-Khan ditched a widely denounced plan to block traffic on 34th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues for a pedestrian mall.
This time, Sadik-Khan says DOT won't foist the makeshift public areas on neighborhoods, like she did with bike lanes, but will let community boards bless or veto each one.
"No one's here to force this on anybody," DOT planner Ed Janoff told a crowd at a meeting of Community Board 2's transportation committee last week.
But many SoHo residents fear just that. They blasted the "harebrained idea" — modeled after similar cafes in San Francisco, Nova Scotia and Florence, Italy and tested successfully last summer in front of Fika Espresso and Bombay's Indian restaurant on Pearl Street in the Financial District.
Community Board 2's committee recommended six of seven applications in Greenwich Village and SoHo. It also agreed to require the pop-ups to close at 9 p.m., although DOT would let them stay open until midnight on weekdays and 1 a.m. on weekends.
Besides extra noise, crowds and rats scurrying for dropped food, residents said the curbside cafes might be dangerous.
"If a driver happens to be texting, he could slam into a cafe at 35 to 40 mph," said Maury Schott, chairman of the sidewalks committee, who noted that some cafes would protrude into the street where no parking is allowed.
Restaurants and other shops would have to buy insurance, as well as pay to design, construct, furnish and maintain the pop-ups.

Swarms of street vendors, legal and illegal, have been an issue for years in Downtown Manhattan neighborhoods, particularly in Soho and along Canal St. Vendors have also been the subject of criticism in Battery Park and, after 9/11, near the World Trade Center site.
In a renewed response to the problem, City Councilmember Alan Gerson, whose district includes Soho and part of Chinatown, has proposed legislation that he hopes will straighten out the tangle of existing vendor regulations.
"We need to make our laws clearer so that vendors can earn an honest living while co-existing with the pedestrians with whom they share our streets," Gerson said. "Our sidewalks cannot be an obstacle course that daunts pedestrian movement and creates hazardous conditions.
Gerson expects the City Council to hold hearings in the fall on the package of legislation by various councilmembers that would implement the proposed changes. The proposal would modify existing rules but not replace them. The measure would cover food and produce vendors, general-merchandise vendors, special preferences that exist for disabled veterans and the category of artists and vendors of material covered under the First Amendment — who zealously guard their right under the law to operate without any permits or licenses.
The proposal would establish rules for sharing vending space, the placement of vending stands and marking curbside vending space with paint or signs, in some cases authorizing a lottery wherever the Department Consumer Affairs or the police deem it necessary — with preference for First Amendment material and veterans. The proposal would also clearly spell out the art and First Amendment material that can be sold by vendors without a license.
"Ludicrous," was the word Robert Lederman used. Lederman is president of A.R.T.I.S.T. (Artists' Resistance To Illegal State Tactics), an organization of artist street vendors, and the plaintiff in several lawsuits that resulted in the doctrine that First Amendment vendors do not have to be licensed — and that visual art is also protected free speech under the First Amendment as far as vending rules are concerned.
"A huge negative," said Lawrence White, who sold his dance photos on the streets of Soho for 10 years. "The positive parts do not outweigh the bad — the proposed lottery, the displacement of legal vendors, the reclassification of artwork and space restrictions would cause serious harm to vendors," he said.
White contends that the main problem is that the police and other agencies are unwilling or unable to enforce rules against the illegal vendors — unlicensed merchandise vendors and vendors who falsely claim to sell First Amendment-privileged items but who sell "bootleg" items that infringe copyrights.
Meanwhile, White said, police — with the help of private agents for trademark luxury manufacturers — make periodic sweeps of merchants who sell counterfeit pricey brands of watches and handbags. But "artists are totally left out of the protection of the law," White said.
Lederman said his group does not believe artists should have no restrictions at all on where to display and sell their work.
"There are 60 pages of existing rules about where no one can sell anything," he said. "No vending within 20 feet of a doorway, for example. You can go out and see any number of illegal vendors within 10 feet of a doorway," he noted.
"Preposterous," said Sean Sweeney, president of the Soho Alliance and a longtime critic of street vending, who nonetheless dismissed Gerson's initiative.
"There are laws on the books that are enforceable, but police don't enforce them," Sweeney said. The alliance back in 1999 was able to get Prince and Spring Sts. between Broadway and West Broadway declared a no-vendor zone on Saturdays and Sundays, Sweeney said.
"Legal, illegal — you're not supposed to sell anything there during that time," Sweeney said. "They kept it clear for a while, but after 2001 the peddlers came back and they're still there. What good are new laws when you don't enforce the ones that exist? Enforcement first before new legislation," he said.
Sweeney recalled he was at a recent meeting where Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly were the featured speakers and he asked them when the city would get rid of the peddlers in Soho.
"Bloomberg got involved in another conversation and Kelly said, 'Wouldn't you rather get rid of the murderers?' I told him there were no murderers in Soho," Sweeney recalled.
"I don't think it will ever get passed," Sweeney predicted of the Gerson proposal.
Gerson's proposal for a periodic lottery to assign vendor spaces was a special target of criticism by Lederman, who said it was enforceable only by licensing artist vendors or First Amendment vendors.
The proposal's definition of First Amendment item includes religious material; written, audio or visual material, whether original or not; and artwork, whether original or not, including painting, photography, sculpture, calligraphy, collages or other depictions, representations or designs.
Lederman said the functional purpose exclusion would be very troublesome.
The Gerson initiative also lays out penalties for violation of rules on placement of vending stands or vending practices. For a third violation, any vendor license would be suspended for six months; in cases of First Amendment vendors, their right to vend could be suspended for six months for a second violation, and suspended for an additional six months for subsequent repeated offenses.
The proposal also would expand vendor opportunities and empower the Department of Small Business Services to work with community boards to develop self-sustaining vendor markets, specifically within Council District 1 — Gerson's district, which covers Lower Manhattan, the Lower East Side, Soho, Chinatown, Little Italy and the South Village. Those potential vendor markets would include one or more of the glass-enclosed pavilions planned for the East River esplanade, the New York City Transit site at Houston and Lafayette Sts., the open areas near the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, unused parts of Sara Roosevelt Park, a site at Lispenard St. near Canal St. and other locations.
"If they want to come here with their engineers and bulldozers, we'll be at the barricades with balaclavas," said Sean Sweeny, director of the SoHo Alliance. For Sweeney and his supporters, the Department of Transportation's plan to close Prince Street in between Lafayette Street and West Broadway to automobile traffic from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. for 14 consecutive summer Sundays constitutes an assault on their neighborhood.
And so the battle lines were drawn.
Despite the almost immediate acerbic reactions to the plan (the Streetsblog.org post that broke the story received 75 comments , 10 of which were, to put it mildly, vehemently opposed). The Department of Transportation did not propose a temporary closure on Prince Street simply to flex its muscles. The idea probably had root in London's highly successful temporary street closures, called "Very Important Pedestrian days," on Regent and Oxford streets, two of the West End's premiere shopping corridors. The work of world renowned urban planner Jan Gehl, who conducted pedestrian counts and street life surveys for the city along Prince Street in 2007 may have also encouraged the proposal, along with a 2006 Transportation Alternatives's study conducted by Bruce Schaller, now a deputy commissioner at the transportation department.
Of course, temporary street closures are nothing new. New York City has a long history of them, most far less contentious than the recent Prince Street hullabaloo. In 1970, Mayor John Lindsay decreed that portions of Fifth Avenue and 14th Street be closed to cars in honor of Earth Day. The plan was so popular that Fifth Avenue was made car-free four times that July. A Department of Commerce and Industry survey concluded that 77 percent of the visitors stopped to shop on car-free days. "Suddenly the avenue was full of baby carriages, bicyclists, street musicians, smiling couples, all reveling in the car-free quiet and safety of what had become wall to wall sidewalk," Time magazine reported later that summer.
For five years in the early 1990s then-Bronx Borough president Fernando Ferrer closed the Grand Concourse from 161st Street to 198th Street every Sunday from July to November. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani put an end to that, but in 2005 Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion Jr. brought Car-Free Sundays back to the Grand Concourse where they remain a summer attraction.
Few would argue that Prince Street isn't already crowded. There are narrow sidewalks, scores of vendors, cars, bikes and subway entrances between Lafayette Street and West Broadway. According to the transportation department's "Prince Street Pedestrian Project" presentation, about 4,500 people per hour walk on Prince Street's sidewalks on Saturday and Sundays between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., while 200 cars per hour use the street during the same time period.
Those in favor of the plan see it as a sensible and proportionate allocation of street space, a precious commodity in downtown Manhattan. They emphasize that a trial closure one day a week will determine whether creating more room for people will make the street safer, the vending less intrusive and easier to regulate, and the neighborhood a more pleasant place to live, work and shop. They point to Schaller's study of Prince Street, which showed only 8 percent of people surveyed arrive there in a private car and 80 percent perceive the street as being overcrowded.
Many of the SoHo residents who oppose the Prince Street pilot program object for precisely that reason. They do not want more were people on their neighborhood streets. Many point to what Sweeney describes as the "garbage, traffic congestion and crowds of strolling tourists who think they own the street and stare at the residents in their windows like they are curiosities" brought annually by the Feast of San Gennaro, which runs for 11 days on neighboring Mulberry Street. "We don't like tourists," Sweeney said.
For its part, the transportation department has insisted that the temporary closure will not turn Prince Street into a permanent street fair. Representatives showed a slide at the Community Board meeting emphasizing "no stalls, no food kiosks, games or rides," and promised to address concerns about the street vendors by increasing enforcement. Many at the meeting, though, remained skeptical.
For now the future of the Prince Street plan is murky. Now that the Communty Board has come out against it, the transportation department seems disinclined to go ahead with it in its current form. But the idea of street closings remains very much alive. Some people in SoHo would still like to see pedestrian imporvements in the area, and the department, without specifying any locations, confirmed that it is looking at similar proposals in different neighborhoods around the city.
Its statement about Prince Street implies that the department has learned a bit from what happened: "We have listened to the concerns voiced by SoHo residents and will find ways to address our shared concerns about traffic, street vendors, and congestion," said department spokesman Seth Solomonow. For their sake, and for the future of temporary street closures, that seems like a sensible course of action.

Lawyer Ads During COVID-19: How a Changing Ad Landscape Calls For Even Greater Scrutiny
August 17, 2020 McMinn Law Firm in Austin
Article Reviewed By Jason McMinn, JD
Jason McMinn is a lead personal injury attorney at McMinn Law Firm.
While strictures against deceptive or exploitative marketing are nothing new for Texas lawyers, a new generation of fraudulent online "Find A Lawyer" websites, and stricter coronavirus-prompted online advertising policies combine to mean law firms must manage their advertising with an even greater level of vigilance than before the pandemic.
Fraudulent "Find A Lawyer" Websites
The rise of legitimate legal service information aggregator services like Avvo and FindLaw has come with an unintended collateral enterprise: fraudulent online lawyer directories positioned to lure people looking for a lawyer as well as lawyers seeking client prospects.
These sites claim to connect lawyers and potential clients. Usually prospects are encouraged to browse the information and attorneys listed for free, and lawyers pay the website to list their name, address, practice areas, and services in the directory.
But rather than allow the prospect to contact the listed lawyer directly, these sites collect legal service inquiries and offer them for sale (usually through lead generation brokers) to a wide range of lawyers and law firms which may or may not be listed on the fraudulent website.
Case in point: in Fort Worth, TX, personal injury lawyer Travis Patterson called the number next to his own listing on proaccidentinjurylawyers (dotcom) and was told that he was unavailable.
A class action lawsuit has been filed against the website by a group of attorneys who claim that "Defendants and their end-user attorney customers are exploiting the plaintiffs' and putative class' names and reputations for their own commercial gain, intending to confuse and deceive the public by drawing on Plaintiffs' and the putative class' goodwill in the marketplace" (1).
Google Ads Policies Tightened During Pandemic
Unfortunately, hawking false cures during a crisis of disease or healthcare is a persistent tactic of bad-actor companies.
By using deceptive ads to link their products to potential relief from the pain or loss accompanying a pandemic, unethical businesses attempt to capitalize on widespread anxiety and uninformed consumers.
Starting in January 2020, thousands of ads falsely tying products and services to COVID-19 prevention or treatment appeared in search results on Google. In an April 30, 2020 post on the Google Ads & Commerce blog, Scott Spencer, VP for Ads Privacy and Safety, points out there was a:
"…sharp spike in fraudulent ads for in-demand products like face masks… significantly above market price, misrepresented the product quality to trick people into making a purchase or were placed by merchants who never fulfilled the orders." (2)
In response, Google temporarily banned the use of "coronavirus" and "COVID-19" in ads (primarily pay-per-click / PPC) appearing in search engine results. Further, Google's ad policy enforcement mechanisms blocked or removed:
"tens of millions of coronavirus-related ads for … price-gouging, capitalizing on global medical supply shortages, making misleading claims about cures and promoting illegitimate unemployment benefits." (3)
While none of Google Ads' pandemic-driven policy adjustments specifically were directed at law firms, lawyer pay-per-click campaigns were impacted: ad changes took longer to be approved, and law firm ads temporarily couldn't use the prohibited words in ads, even when to do so represented a genuine offering.
The federal government also stepped in to penalize companies attempting to profit off products and services making fraudulent promises related to coronavirus.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reports "sending warning letters to companies that may be violating the FTC Act, to warn them that their conduct is likely unlawful and that they can face serious legal consequences, such as a federal lawsuit, if they do not immediately stop."(4)
Advertising Restrictions in Texas Lawyer Rules for Professional Conduct
While COVID-19 advertising policies still are evolving, policies outlining what is and is not permitted in Texas lawyer advertising have been in place since 2005.
These rules for advertising apply to all lawyers practicing in Texas. Noncompliance with the rules can result in a grievance with the Texas State Bar.
The Advertising Review Department (5) of the State Bar of Texas reviews "attorney and law firm advertisements and solicitation communications as required by Part VII(6) of the Texas Disciplinary Rules Professional Conduct…(effective 6/1/05)."
While they cover several aspects of lawyer advertising, highlighted rules (7) include:
Prohibition against saying a lawyer "specializes" in a practice area unless they have been certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in that practice area;
Requirement that lawyers report certain details of a case when advertising the success of that case; and
Restrictions applying to the presentation of cumulative case results or settlement amounts.
In addition, the 86th Texas Legislature passed SB 1189 (effective 9/1/2019) containing mandates and prohibitions (8) for TV ads for legal services regarding medications or medical devices.
With a changing ad landscape, lawyers must apply additional diligence when advertising for potential clients.

The CARE Project Documentary
Premiere/Fund-raiser
Brooklyn Arts Center • 516 N. 4th St.
9/23, 6:30 p.m. • $35 adv/$40 at door

hen couples find out they're having a baby, I'm told there's a clash of emotions. First, there's excitement over creating a little "mini-me"—sure to become the next boy or girl wonder, saving the world in various ways. Immediately, anxiety follows—for the hope of simply a healthy baby.
Few people anticipate their child being born without the ability to hear. While there was a time when being deaf was considered a disability or abnormality, services and technologies have grown to help children and their supportive families have happy and successful lives. Such is even more true now thanks to the help of people like audiologist Johnnie Sexton.
Born in the mid-1950s in a small community near Wilmington, Sexton grew up seeing the special needs of deaf children by observing his neighbors. They were rearing a hearing-impaired son.
"We were aware early on of the impact of deafness," he explains, "because at that time there was no federal or state law that provided education for a deaf child in the local communities. So [the boy] left home when he started school and went to the only residential school for the deaf in NC at the time, which happened to be [near the mountains] in Morganton."
As an audiologist, Sexton spent many years working with children and their families. By 2008 he thought he could do more.
"I was beginning to formulate an idea to develop a program that would help address the feelings that parents experienced along the way," he says, "feelings that often are kept bottled up and can cause a lot of stress within a home."
The program in mind became The CARE Project, its title letters representing "Counseling, Audiologic Rehabilitation and Education." It has been presented all over the country and world to show the success of services given to countless individuals and families. Providing workshop opportunities for parents in Wilmington and across NC, Sexton says it's often the first chance parents have to actually express their feelings openly about receiving the unexpected news their child is deaf.
"The CARE environment is a safe one," he promises, "and I have seen many tears that turn into smiles by the end of just one meeting. In addition, by bringing a group of parents together, they all find comfort in each other, as well as [engage in] a sense of connectedness."
Often parents aren't sure of themselves when trying to comfort children or family during times of concern. Like Sandy Simpson, who recalls her young daughter Stephanie questioning her hearing loss as she got older, questions hardest to deal with include: "Why did God make my ears this way?" or "Why don't any princesses wear hearing aids?" Simpson eventually attended a CARE Project workshop and "something clicked inside of me," she writes in her letter to Hearing Health. "While listening to the other parents of hearing-impaired children share their feelings, I felt as if they'd taken the words right out of my mouth. It was a major 'Aha!' moment."
After meeting with a few locals in the film industry in 2009, Sexton gathered with friends and colleagues in the deaf and hard-of-hearing community with the idea of filming their stories. Once he realized the film could capture the deep feelings and raw emotions from each person, his mission became to take this message as far as he could.
"The CARE Project, for me, has become the passion that drives me each and every day," he simplifies. "Now that CARE has been embraced by a number of people and agencies, I am more inspired to keep this project alive and growing to reach as many people as we possibly can, to bring them comfort, make them feel connected, and give them hope and resources."
The CARE Project documentary addresses the emotional aspects of the parental journey. By filming in Sexton's home, he was able to create a comfortable environment. Sexton also directed and produced the project, which has become the foundation for the entire program designed for families, professionals and students.
The film's premiere serves as the first fund-raiser for The CARE Project. Monies are needed for materials that can be donated to newborn nurseries in NC and across the U.S. They also need translation of resources for other languages, and the purchase of their own film equipment in order to continue documenting people's journeys from around the world.
The Brooklyn Arts Center doors open at 6:30 p.m. on September 23rd in honor of CARE. There will be a true red-carpet arrival planned, which includes light appetizers and drinks available throughout the first hour. The film premieres at 7:30 p.m. and lasts for an hour or so, followed by a few acknowledgements and introductions onstage. Around 8:30, heavy hors d'oeuvres, desserts, cheeses, coffee, and a cash bar will be available for attendees to enjoy while mingling.
An after party continues with musical performance by Charleston's Entropy Ensemble—a band who plays instrumental interpretations of Radiohead music. Having played Cameron Art Museum in 2010 and headlined WE Fest in May 2011, the five-piece dismantles elaborate compositions with groundbreaking musicality. Radiohead favorites, such as "House of Cards," "Paranoid Android" and "Idioteque," will be played among a host of other dynamic arrangements in the classical vein.
There will also be an Infused Fashion Show. Without giving away too many details, Sexton has developed the show to incorporate hearing needs into fashion. Fashionista Jessie Williams, designer and proprietor of Edge of Urge, has paired up with hair stylist Roby Powers of NSalo to design "a conceptual representation of hearing loss and the journey to resilience."
Ticket prices are $35 in advance or $40 at the door, with few left for purchase as of press time.

Trump Floats Moving to Another Social Media Site – or Creating His Own
Erin Coates
President Donald Trump is considering moving to another social media platform or creating his own after he was permanently banned from Twitter Friday.
"As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me — and YOU, the 75,000,000 great patriots who voted for me," Trump tweeted from the @Potus Twitter account, according to Fox News.
"Twitter may be a private company, but without the government's gift of Section 230 they would not exist for long."
The tweets were quickly deleted because Twitter does not allow banned individuals to tweet from alternate accounts, Tech Crunch reported.
The president added in follow-up tweets — which were also deleted — that he is looking into joining a new platform or creating his own.
TRENDING: Twitter's Ban of Trump Just Opened an Entire New Line of Criticism
"We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future," Trump tweeted.
"We will not be SILENCED! Twitter is not about FREE SPEECH. They are all about promoting a Radical Left platform where some of the most vicious people in the world are allowed to speak freely. Stay Tuned!"
The tweets were also sent out from @Teamtrump's campaign account, which Twitter deleted before suspending the account.
"As we've said, using another account to try to evade a suspension is against our rules," a Twitter spokesperson told TechCrunch.
Will you be moving to a Twitter alternative?
"We have taken steps to enforce this with regard to recent Tweets from the @POTUS account. For government accounts, such as @POTUS and @WhiteHouse, we will not suspend those accounts permanently but will take action to limit their use."
Many people predicted that Trump would join Parler, a conservative social media app, after he was suspended from Twitter.
However, the site was removed from the Google Play Store Friday afternoon and the company has said Apple had threatened to suspend them from the App store as well, according to Tech Crunch.
"We're aware of continued posting in the Parler app that seeks to incite ongoing violence in the U.S.," a Google spokesperson said.
"We recognize that there can be reasonable debate about content policies and that it can be difficult for apps to immediately remove all violative content, but for us to distribute an app through Google Play, we do require that apps implement robust moderation for egregious content. In light of this ongoing and urgent public safety threat, we are suspending the app's listings from the Play Store until it addresses these issues."
RELATED: Hours After Banning Trump, Twitter Now Deleting Posts from Official Government POTUS Account
An email obtained by Buzzfeed News said that Apple wrote to Parler's executives about complaints that their service had been used to plan the incursion on the Capitol Wednesday and requested a "moderation improvement plan" to be sent to them within 24 hours.
"We will not cave to pressure from anti-competitive actors!" Parler CEO John Matze wrote on Parler. "We will and always have enforced our rules against violence nad illegal activity. But we WONT cave to politically motivated companies and those authoritarians who hate free speech!"
Gab, another Twitter alternative, had also seen record traffic to its site since the president's ban from Twitter, according to Fox News.

As its economy stutters, the British government is looking to deep-pocketed Asian investors to keep the motors running.
Foreign companies announced over $8 billion investment in the country on Wednesday, just ahead of a series of summits held by the business ministry that is taking advantage of the London Olympics to attract a roster of international executives and sell the case for investing in Britain.
In a deal that will create more than 900 jobs, the government approved a £4.5 billion contract with a consortium led by Japan's Hitachi to build 92 intercity trains at a newly-built factory in County Durham, northern England.

2 players who were signed for SA20 and also released in IPL by the same franchise owners for 2023
By Nesara VJ Thu, 26 Jan 2023
IPL franchise owners have also invested in SA20 League. In fact, all the owners in SA20 League also have a franchise in the IPL. As expected, a few of them tried to establish a brand by having some cricketers play for multiple franchises in their ownership. That said, in a few cases, that has not been possible. While they signed them for SA20 League, they later released them from their IPL franchise. These players were not signed again by these teams in the recent IPL auctions. In this article, we take a look at two players who were signed for SA20 and also released in IPL by the same franchise owners for 2023.
1) Jason Holder (Signed by Durban Super Giants but released by Lucknow Super Giants)
Jason Holder played for LSG in IPL 2022. After the Super Giants got the Durban franchise in SA20, they hired the West Indian all-rounder. However, surprisingly, a few weeks later, he was on the list of released players by LSG for IPL 2023. At the auctions, too, LSG did not sign the cricketer. Rajasthan Royals signed Jason Holder. It needs to be seen if the Super Giants would have him in the IPL squad in the next seasons.
2) Corbin Bosch (Signed by Paarl Royals but released by Rajasthan Royals)
Corbin Bosch is one of the players who were signed for SA20 and also released in IPL by the same franchise owners for 2023. The cricketer was part of RR last season and hence, on expected lines, they signed him for the franchise in SA20. However, he was released for IPL 2023 and also did not try to buy him at the auctions. RR had some balance issues with their overseas combination in IPL 2022. However, they seem to have corrected it by getting Jason Holder and by also having some in-form backups such as Joe Root.

Last weekend, I shot photos of John, my cousin, and Teresa, his girlfriend. It was my first actual couples shoot and I have to say it went a lot better than I imagined. I was pretty nervous as I've only shot portraits which focused on one person or a group of friends. To me, couples photos focuses more on the moment with the couple than just them together which I wasn't use to.
The shoot went really smooth as the couple was doing their thing while I focused on framing the shots. This is my favorite shot! The stone stairs add a very nice touch.
Check out more shots below!
