DEBORAH HAY WITH JEANINE DURNING +
ROS WARBY
Deborah Hay was born in Brooklyn. Her mother was her first dance teacher, and directed her training until she was a teenager. She moved to Manhattan in the 1960s, where she continued her training with Merce Cunningham and Mia Slavenska. In 1964, Hay danced with the Cunningham Dance Company during a 6-month tour through Europe and Asia. She was also sharing with her Judson colleagues the artificial distinction between trained and untrained performers. She focused on large-scale dance projects involving untrained dancers, fragmented and choreographed music accompaniment, and the execution of ordinary movement patterns performed under stressful conditions.
In 1970 she left New York to live in a community in northern Vermont. Soon, she distanced herself from the performing arena, producing Ten Circle Dances, performed on 10 consecutive nights within a single community and no audience whatsoever. Thus began a long period of reflection about how dance is transmitted and presented. Her first book, Moving Through the Universe in Bare Feet (Swallow Press, 1975), is an early example of her distinctive memory/concept mode of choreographic record, and emphasizes the narratives underlining the process of her dance-making, rather than the technical specifications or notations of their form.
In 1976 Hay left Vermont and moved to Austin, Texas. Her attention focused on a set of practices ("playing awake") that engaged the performer on several levels of consciousness at once. While developing her concepts she instituted a yearly four-month group workshop that culminated in large group public performances and from these group pieces she distilled her solo dances. Her second book, Lamb at the Altar: The Story of a Dance (Duke University Press, 1994), documents the unique creative process that defined these works.
In the late 1990's Deborah Hay focused almost exclusively on rarified and enigmatic solo dances based on her new experimental choreographic method, such as The Man Who Grew Common in Wisdom, Voilà, The Other Side of O, Fire, Boom Boom Boom, Music, Beauty, The Ridge, Room, performing them around the world and passing them on to noted performers in the US, Europe, and Australia. Also, My Body, The Buddhist , her third book was published by Wesleyan University Press, 2000. It is an introspective series of reflections on the major lessons of life that she has learned from her body while dancing.
In 2002 Hay made a decision to apply what she had learned from 30 years of working with mostly untrained dancers to choreographing dances for experienced dancer/choreographers. In 2004 she received a NYC Bessie award for her quartet The Match. In 2006 she choreographed "O, O" for 5 New York City choreographer/dancers and then for 7 French dancers of comparable experience. The Festival d'Automne, in Paris, presented The Match in 2005, "O, O" in 2006, and If I Sing To You, in 2008, which was commissioned by The Forsythe Company and which toured extensively in Europe and Australia. In 2009 The Toronto Dance Theatre premiered her work, Up Until Now, and in 2010 Lightning premiered at the Helsinki Festival, a dance for 6 Finnish dancers/choreographers.
In 2007 Hay received a BAXten Award. "Your experimental work has remained alive & contemporary over four decades, inspiring your colleagues and peers and now – new generations of choreographers & performers. Your sustained commitment and your willingness to change course provides an example for others. Your articulate writing on the body & dance has had a profound impact on the field."
In October 2009 Deborah received an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Dance from the Theater Academy in Helsinki, Finland and in 2010 she was awarded an US Artist Friends Fellowship and a 2011 artist's grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, based in New York. In April 2012, Deborah Hay became one of the 21 American performing artists to receive the inaugural and groundbreaking 2012 Doris Duke Artist Award.
After a two year research collaboration with Motion Bank, a project of the Forsythe Company, an online interactive website dedicated to Hay's choreographic aesthetics will be launched in June 2013.
Jeanine Durning is a choreographer and performer based in Brooklyn, NY. Durning began performing her solo works in 1998. Her evening length choreographies include A Good Man Falls (2002), half URGE (2004), out of the kennel into a home (2006), and Ex-Memory: waywewere (2009). Since 2002, she has created 15 original works, commissioned by companies and independent performers. In 2008, Durning was the recipient of The Alpert Award for Choreography.
Jeanine's current solo performance, inging, was first presented in 2010 in Amsterdam and has since been invited to theaters, studios, museums, galleries and rooms in Berlin, Amsterdam, Leuven (BE), Chambersburg (PA), Minneapolis and NYC.
Jeanine has performed in several choreographed ensemble works by Deborah Hay since 2005. She is currently involved in Hay's work with Motion Bank, a project of the Forsythe Company, which includes her adaptation of the solo No Time to Fly, the trio As Holy Sites Go, and more recently, As Holy Sites Go/duet with Ros Warby. Over the years, Jeanine has had the pleasure to work with many choreographers, among them, including David Dorfman, Susan Rethorst, Lance Gries, and Chris Yon.
Jeanine has an ongoing teaching practice, facilitating classes in movement and choreographic practices, and is regularly invited to advise the work of other makers. More recently, she has been on faculty at SNDO and MTD (Amsterdam Theaterschool), HZT (Inter-University Centre for Dance- Berlin), Laboratory for Contemporary Dance Practice (Vaganova Academy, St. Petersburg) and NYU Tisch School of the Arts (NYC).
ROS WARBY is one of Australia's leading dancer/choreographers, creating and performing solo dance work since 1990. Her award winning work has been presented in Australia, Europe and the USA. Warby has also performed with numerous companies and artists including Lucy Guerin Inc. and the Deborah Hay Company. Recognised for her unique performance work in many contexts Warby has received the Robert Helpmann Award for Best Female Dancer 2007, Greenroom Awards for Best female performer (2000 & 2007) and best Solo performer in 2001, an Australia Council Fellowship (2002 – 2004), and the 2007 Sidney Myer Performing Arts Award.
Her critically acclaimed solo dance works SOLOS and SWIFT toured America and Europe. Her 2006 work, MONUMENTAL, received the Age Critics Commendation Award, the Robert Helpmann Award for Best Female Dancer, the Greenroom Award for Best Female Performer and the Greenroom Award for Best Composition. It toured the US in 2009 to Utah, Houston, Miami and New York to critical acclaim, and was presented at the Venice Biennale in June 2010. Monumental will again be presented at London's Dance Umbrella in October this year.
In 2003 Warby was commissioned by ABC television to make a cinematic version of SWIFT. It was televised in 2007 and screened at international festivals worldwide. Warby continues to work on occasion with the legendary US choreographer Deborah Hay performing her solo adaptations of Hay's choreographies.
Warby finished her classical ballet training in Europe with Marika Besobrasova, Monte Carlo, Central School of Ballet, London, and the Royal Danish Ballet School. Influenced by her studies of the Alexander Technique since 1991, she became a certified teacher in 2001. Other influences to her dance practice have been the teachings of Lisa Nelson, Dana Reitz and Eva Karczag, but it is the teaching and choreography of Deborah Hay that has been most engaging, stimulating Warby's artistic development and practice over the past 15 years.

So. We're Debating Working Motherhood Again. Oh Good.
There comes a point in parenthood where you're just kinda rolling along, in your routine and your roles not really overthinking what you're doing. Kids to school, parents to work. What you've done for ages. Past the point of doing things that need to be endlessly debated by strangers on the internet – no longer breastfeeding, or potty training or weaning or babywearing or anything that's particularly controversial. They've even both learnt to read now. The "frantic googling" stage of parenting is taking a break from now until puberty.
But then someone says something and a debate breaks out, and it's about something that you hadn't even considered might be anything to argue about. Yes, it's working motherhood. And everyone seems to have an opinion about it, kicked off by that most contemporary of commentators Esther Rantzen.
I don't talk about work too much on the internet but I'll just say this – I have the perfect set up. A job I enjoy and it fits into school hours. I can drop the kids off every day and pick them up again. I miss no time with them at all because unless we were home schooling, we'd not be hanging out together between the hours of 9 and 3:30 anyway. There's currently very little guilt attached to working, unlike the early days of working motherhood, where a screaming Roo ended up in the reception area of Nathan's office because he just wouldn't settle at the childminder. True, I miss some things at school but I normally manage to tweak work hours a bit to catch a school play or send Nathan to a Sports Day. Working keeps me sane and I'm a better parent for having something outside the home to focus on. Look how focused I am in my "Scarf of Working Motherhood" in the picture above.
So why am I coming back to the swamp of despair on this seemingly innocuous area of parenthood? Well, here's some of the things that have been said about working mothers recently. The aforementioned Esther Rantzen article for The Telegraph looked at the rise in levels of depression and anxiety among children and planted the blame firmly at the door "the decline of the housewife". Working mothers, by any other name.
There are a myriad of reasons why children are now seeking more help with depression than ever before. I'd be inclined to cast an eye towards the new, compressed curriculum that sees my 8yo not doing PE because the class "needs to catch up" and being told to spend an hour a week of his precious after school time staring at a screen to solve maths problems. We tried it once and it did result in some anxiety so we're skipping for now. The same curriculum has the 5yo in frustrated tears at the sheer difficulty of her numeracy homework, and thinking she's stupid despite the fact that she writes beautifully and can draw a very realistic zombie. Cascade that same compressed curriculum up through the teens, with the regrading of the GCSEs and I'm not surprised we have some anxious children out there. Add in the pressures of social media life comparisons and cyberbullying and voila, a cocktail of teen angst. I'm no expert but I'd say that putting all the blame on "tired mothers" is a bit of a stretch.
I'm putting a cautious hand up here. Me. I'm that mother who would not want to be the first one to rush to the school. I'm that mother whose first reaction when a child is sick overnight is to start a furious whispered debate with Nathan about whose work day is busier the next day. I'm the mother who has Facebook-screamed as I've just sat down in the office, opened a full inbox and then got The Call of Doom. I'm also the mother who was on mat leave/freelance/self-employed for the best part of three years so was the default for all that time, which included Reuben's first winter in preschool. And anyone who has experienced preschool knows the bodily-fluided nightmare that is.
It's not just that I'm selfish. It partly is. I don't enjoy quarantine and I certainly don't enjoy mopping up sick and changing sheets. But it's more than that. It's the thing I forget after so many years of working motherhood – it's a precarious thing. A job is hard won and easily lost and it's stuff like taking days off to look after children that loses jobs not just for the mother involved but for mothers everywhere.
Obviously, societal change is needed but until then, us working mothers are walking a tightrope. We need to be present for our kids, especially if they're ill., but we also need to be present for our employers. We need to work harder and faster than any other staff member to prove our worth. We need to make judgement calls about whether a toddler is ill with a virus or just teething when we make the decision about whether to leave work to pick them up or try and stall till the end of the day and the stakes are high.
It's not our fault. Prejudice against working mothers is entrenched and discrimination is rife. I've been asked in job interviews how often my kids are sick. I've been told by someone who had several kids of his own that he just wanted someone "more flexible" doing my position. I've worked from home while a child has been vomiting next to me, I've worked on holiday and during a bereavement because we can't afford to drop the ball. Right now, I have awesome and understanding bosses but still feel a clenching in my heart every time one of my kids has a weird clenching in their stomach.
So why do it at all? Why not take the Rantzen advice and just be happy as housewives? Well, again there are a huge variety of reasons behind why women work when they have kids. The main few I'd cover off as – a) economic reasons, although that might seem unrealistic when your salary is getting sucked up by childcare, b) career reasons, although again that might seem like a pipedream when you're working part-time and c) sanity reasons. I'd like to somewhat belatedly say that I'm not denigrating anyone who does choose to stay at home. If that works for your family, then brilliant. It can be a wonderful thing to be with your kids as they grow up and even after they start school and you can have time for yourself. I don't want to use my reasons for working to make anyone feel bad for not working.
Here's the take-home though – we shouldn't be told what to do by a third party. We shouldn't be made to feel guilty for working or for being "housewives" (yeah, we need a better term). We should be doing what works for us, for our kids and for the family unit as a whole. What I see as perfection – a commute into Central London after drop off and before pick up – some would see as hellish. But it works for us.
And up till this week, I haven't felt the working mother guilt for quite some time. They haven't been ill for quite some time so I haven't had to juggle (although there was that A&E trip in the summer). And in case you can't tell, I feel somewhat enraged about being made to feel guilty about this. But get ragey with me – the devaluing of women's work (i.e. it should always be the mother who fetches a sick child) is something to be enraged about. The piling of blame onto mothers for societal problems (i.e. kids are depressed and it's their mother's fault) is also something to be enraged about. We have come so far in terms of equality but we haven't come far enough. It's bad enough that there's still a gender pay gap but it's the unspoken pressures – which are now being spoken- that kill a mother's career. We've always flexed as to what works best at the time (hence my years of self-employment) but to change because of what Sarah Vine says in the Daily Mail? No. Thanks.
Yes, we need to safeguard our kids' mental health but don't we also need to safeguard our own? And for that reason, I'm out. I'm not investing in this debate any more. If work works, we should work. If work doesn't work or stops working, don't work. Simple as that.

Q: How can I add syntax highlighting to a make error message? Summary
I want to manually add syntax highlighting of specific words in error messages. I tried with a pipeline to awk, but this doesn't seem to work with the entire message that is thrown by make. Can anybody help me to get the following pipeline working for make's entire error message?
make | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){ if($i~/error/ || $i~/Built/) $i=sprintf("\033[0;36m %s \033[0;00m",$i)}; print}'

Or maybe—better still—a different approach to my
Situation (in detail)
To build my latex project, I use Cmake together with UseLATEX (github page). That way, I can simply render my document by executing make from inside a build folder. Only problem: There is no syntax highlighting for the wall of text of an error message. I need to add a minimal version of this, to work productively. (Maybe words could be highlighted globally in my terminal?)
By passing the output in a pipeline to awk (manpage)—inspired by this askubuntu post—I was able to highlight make's success message, pdflatex myfile.tex's success and error message, but not make's error message, it did not highlight the interesting parts of the long message.
By highlighting Built in the code snippet above, one can see that it does highlight when the first command make succeeds.
The problem is that I do not fully understand when the pipeline passes what. It seems that some output can get highlighted and some cannot.
Thanks for any help!
Steps needed to reproduce
To get into exactly the situation at hand, you need a project folder containing
build/
cmake/
myfile.tex
CMakeLists.txt

with cmake/ containing UseLATEX.cmake
and CMakeLists.txt reading
include(cmake/UseLATEX.cmake)

ADD_LATEX_DOCUMENT(myfile.tex)

and myfile.tex being a valid or non-valid latex document, e.g.
\documentclass{article}
  \begin{document}
    Some \undefined command
  \end{document}

From inside the build/ folder, call cmake .., and then make, or rather the full command above.

A: The message is written on stderr, not on stdout. You have to handle stderr. In bash, you can:
make 2> >(do_something_with_stderr >&2) | do_something_with_stdout

Because | changes buffering, it's not always wanted in interactive programs. For  interactive I prefer:
make 2> >(do_something_with_stderr >&2) >(do_something_with_stdout)

and sometimes that's one function:
some_func() { do_something; }
make 2> >(some_func >&2) >(some_func)

Another measure under consideration calls for the secretary of state to start a contest to create a new design for the official state flag.
None of these elevate to the level of urgent state business. Certainly, Illinois' fiscal health isn't dependent on an up-or-down vote on any of them.
The state's five public pension systems are underfunded by at least $134 billion. Some place the pension debt at closer to $200 billion.
By contrast, the budget proposed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker seeks to spend $39 billion next fiscal year. Even using the conservative $134 billion figure, the state would have to spend every dollar it collects for the next three-and-a-half years just to pay down its pension debt.
"The governor and his supporters would rather hike taxes than talk about serious state's issues," Rep. Allen Skillicorn, R-East Dundee, said.
If voters reject it, nearly two more years will have passed with no progress made on the pension crisis.
If Pritzker, Madigan and company are so adamant to change the state constitution to allow for a progressive tax, why not also change the constitution to eliminate the pension diminishment clause, which says that pensions earned can't be diminished and has been used to kill pension reform measures in the past.
Illinois' pension crisis has been worsening for decades. Addressing it should be priority No. 1. Instead, it's not even on the radar.

School in Texas has Masks as Part of its Dress Code to Skirt Mandates
bySarah Abrams
Paris ISD, located in Paris, Texas, found a clever way to mandate masks in schools this year.
After Governor Abbot signed legislation banning schools from imposing mask mandates, Paris ISD made masks part of the dress code. According to KXAN, " The district says the change was made to "protect students and employees" as the new school year begins with in-person learning."
Paris ISD argues that they have not violated the Governor's orders citing, "Nothing in the Governor's Executive Order 38 states he has suspended Chapter 11 of the Texas Education Code. The Board of Trustees can amend their dress code as they see fit.
One of the trustees, Dr. Bert Strom, said the change was not permanent and that the board would review the guidelines each month. The board approved the measure with a vote of 5-1, with the board president absent and Clifton Fendley dissenting.
The school board met with the District attorney to help with drafting the new wording. Parents, teachers, and community members sat through the hour-long meeting and offered comments both for and against the masking mandate. Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, is reportedly sending the district a cease and desist letter.

CDC Report Points to Missed Opportunity in ADHD Care
Despite Recommendations, Young Children More Likely to Get Drugs Than Behavioral Therapy
May 25, 2016 01:50 pm Cindy Borgmeyer –
More than 6 million children in the United States were reported by their parents to have been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in 2011-2012, making it the most common neurodevelopmental disorder among those ages 4 to 17 years. These most recent figures represent a 42 percent rise in the prevalence of the condition since 2003, according to a 2014 article(www.jaacap.com) in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
Notably, more than half (53 percent) of children in that age range who are diagnosed with ADHD first receive that diagnosis(www.cdc.gov) from a primary care physician, followed by psychiatrists, psychologists and other physicians (e.g., neurologists) at 18 percent, 14 percent and 15 percent of cases, respectively.
Once an ADHD diagnosis is made, says a 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guideline that the AAFP endorsed, the first line of treatment for young children (preschool-aged) should be behavioral therapy administered by the child's parents. Physicians should resort to medication only if behavioral interventions fail to achieve significant improvement and patients continue to have moderate to severe functional impairment.
But all too often, that's not happening, say CDC officials in the most recent Vital Signs report.(www.cdc.gov) Rather than leveraging the opportunity to teach young children how to control their own behavior -- which has been shown to have lasting positive effects on how they function at school, at home and in relationships -- these children are more often being prescribed potent drugs to help reduce their impulsive behaviors in the short term.
A new report from the CDC found that young children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more likely to be prescribed drugs than behavior therapy for their condition -- despite recommendations to the contrary.
More than 6 million children in the United States have been diagnosed with the condition, according to their parents.
Use of behavior therapy for ADHD has been shown to have lasting beneficial effects on how these children function in school, at home and elsewhere.
In a May 3 telebriefing(www.cdc.gov) on the report, CDC Principal Deputy Director Anne Schuchat, M.D., laid out the agency's position on appropriate treatment of ADHD in young children.
"In this month's Vital Signs, we're drawing attention to behavior therapy, which is an important and recommended first step for young children with ADHD," said Schuchat. "Behavior therapy is a form of treatment in which parents learn specific ways to improve the behavior of their young child with ADHD.
"This treatment can work as well as medicine, and without the risk of side effects in young children," she added. "And research shows the benefits of behavior therapy can last for years."
Indeed, says a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) article(www.cdc.gov) released in conjunction with the Vital Signs report, nearly one-third of children ages 3-5 who take ADHD medication experience adverse effects, "most commonly appetite suppression and sleep problems, but also upper abdominal pain ('stomach ache'), emotional outbursts, irritability, lack of alertness, repetitive behaviors and thoughts, social withdrawal, and irritability when the medication wears off."
Titled "National and State-Specific Patterns of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Treatment Among Insured Children Aged 2-5 Years -- United States, 2008-2014," the MMWR report analyzed claims data from both employer-sponsored health plans and Medicaid to determine whether children were receiving clinical care for their condition, what type of care they received and whether the type of care varied by insurer.
The report's authors found that the overall percentage of children who received clinical care for ADHD increased over time. However, during 2008-2011, the percentage of Medicaid beneficiaries who received clinical care was double that of children with employer-sponsored insurance.
Furthermore, although percentages varied by state, no more than 55 percent of children with ADHD overall received psychological services each year, regardless of insurance type. By contrast, about three-fourths received medical therapy.
Perhaps most troubling, the use of psychological services to treat young children with ADHD, as recommended in the 2011 AAP guideline, did not increase after publication of that guidance. In fact, the percentage of children receiving this type of therapy decreased slightly, while the percentage of those being treated medically did not change.
"These data suggest we are missing opportunities for young children with ADHD to receive behavior therapy," Schuchat observed. "Increasing referrals and the availability of appropriate services could help many families with young children who have ADHD."
Jennifer Frost, M.D., medical director for the AAFP Health of the Public and Science Division, heartily agreed with Schuchat's assessment that more access to these services is an important part of reversing the trend toward greater medication use and its sequelae.
"I think that access to behavioral therapy is a big issue, especially in smaller communities," Frost told AAFP News. But even in larger cities, she added, it can take months to get an appointment with a behavioral therapist.
"It is a big challenge, and a reason why so many of these kiddos are on medications," Frost noted.
Family physicians may be able to get some help from the CDC website, which provides information about behavior therapy for ADHD,(www.cdc.gov) including resources to aid physicians and parents in locating therapists who offer this type of training.

Public Relations has always been an important contributor to any company's branding and marketing efforts. According to the Global Communications Report, the industry is expected to reach $20bn by 2020. Further, the industry is largely controlled by Omnicom, IPG, WPP and Publicis group, which together account for around 34% of overall PR market at present. Yet, there is a lot of movement in the content distribution market and new trends are replacing traditional PR practices.
Should you invest more in SEO or in PR?
It's obvious that creating a website is not enough; it needs to be marketed as well. In the world of digital marketing, traditional marketing tactics have been reinvented so many times that it is not rare for traditionalists to get disillusioned. While there are many online challenges faced by business today, content marketing, digital marketing, SEO and social media are all trying to achieve a single purpose – increase brand reputation and improve awareness about the company. Traditional marketing experts will find it similar to public relations – "a lot of what we do as "SEOs" is actually, well, PR", says former journalist turned marcomm specialist Samuel Scott. This means guest posting, connecting with influencers on social media, email outreach etc. can all be labeled as PR activity.
On the other hand, those working in PR have to know their audience preferences to create engaging content for brands on a daily basis. They usually have spent years building relationships with media contacts for improving coverage for their clients. By placing your content on websites with high domain authority (DA), often including a backlink, they are essentially doing what marketers these days call backlinking. Hence, there is a need to view PR and SEO conjunctively. Further, viewing all your digital marketing from a PR perspective can help you improve your returns.
However, such tasks may be best left to an SEO professional. According to a HubShout report, for small businesses, SEO is the second biggest investment priority after website development. SEO professionals will help you identify lingering issues with your website content, site architecture, missing tags, meta descriptions, and website speed which are essential parameters affecting your visitor's experience as well as the website crawler. As a business, you must take up these optimizations on priority, even before you start any outreach or PR campaign.
If you adopted social as an afterthought, perhaps it's time to revisit your social media strategy. According to the 2016 Social Media Examiner survey, at least 63% of marketers plan on increasing their use of these social networks this year. Furthermore, 90% of marketers showed a keen interest in learning tactics for engaging their audience with social media.
As discussed before social media interactions are closely linked to both PR and SEO. It cannot be left ignored and needs integration with your overall marketing mix. It's also important to choose the mediums wisely, especially if you are doing paid campaigns on social media.
Every social channel has its own flavor and audience expectations. While you can tweak and create content suiting every possible social channel, remember that "the medium is the message." It is prudent to focus only on certain channels that suit your brand persona and are likely to engage your customers in the right context. For example, LinkedIn is most commonly used by B2B marketers while Facebook is commonly employed by B2C marketers (especially in the retail domain).
A CMS is an essential investment for every marketing department for integrating functions like document management, digital asset management, campaign management and more. A CMS will help you in handling a wide variety of digital content spread across multiple webpages.
Newer platforms ensure sites are optimized for different screen sizes with responsive design, but each comes with a caveat. Murad Bushnaq, CEO of nonprofit CMS, Morweb.org, explains, "While responsive design is essential for all businesses, not all platforms are delivering the same screen-optimized experience." He urges organizations to recognize the three degrees of CMS responsiveness when selecting their solution: the good, the bad, and the great.
The main advantage with a CMS is that it provides reusable templates, which will help you in churning up more content with ease. Further, most of the CMS provide WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors, which will help you format your content effectively. This means that you can easily build landing pages for your targeted campaigns – something that should interest PR campaign managers.
For PR managers, this is hardly news. Online communication channels and social media have made it simple to identify influencers in any field. You can easily find active communicators on LinkedIn and Twitter. If you have not been able to identify influencers in your specific business domain, tools like Cision and BuzzSumo can help you out. However, identifying is only a part of the process.
This bigger challenge lies in initiating and nurturing the relationship with influencers. Remember that you are not the only one approaching them for a favor and occasionally it is ok if someone blocks you out. While routine courtesies should not be ignored, try to keep your communication crisp and honest. There's no point beating around the bush. However, before you start asking for any kind of favor, make sure you are aware of your influencers' preferences. If you are interacting with editors, you stick to their schedules.
Further, try keeping yourself available at all possible times via email, chat or phone. By implementing these 4 tactics, you can drive business ROI and also lay the seeds of success in a highly competitive market.

Hungry googlers looking for something to cook for dinner tend to arrive at the BBC's food website. It's the number one search engine result for pretty much any basic recipe, with Jamie Oliver usually in second place. The demise of the Beeb food site means Jamie will likely now become the first result. What does this mean for the diets of families across Britain?
Let's take one example. The BBC's BBQ chicken recipe, soon to be deleted from the internet forever, contains a relatively healthy 23g of sugar per serving. Mums will instead soon be offered Jamie's "best BBQ chicken", which contains a staggering 45g of sugar per portion, double the amount in the Beeb recipe. That's 50% of an adult's recommended daily sugar intake!
Not only has the BBC conveniently chosen to cut the one thing that will make everyone upset about cuts to their funding. We're also left with Jamie Oliver's sugar-saturated sickly sweet nosh in their place..


Jimmie Allen appeared on CBS This Morning yesterday (Wednesday, April 10th) to lend his voice to the ongoing conversation surrounding the Lil Nas X hit "Old Town Road." He said, "This song deserves to be on every chart. I came into this genre as a new artist from a small town in Delaware and I'm a black guy. And I had strikes against me that people thought might stop me, but yet, the Country community welcomed me in." Jimmie continues climbing the charts with "Make Me Want To."

5. Responding to children: advocacy and action
14.120 The recommendations in this chapter address issues affecting all child witnesses. Additional protections may be needed for child witnesses who are Indigenous or from non-English speaking backgrounds or who have certain disabilities.
Children from different cultural backgrounds
14.121 Child witnesses from different cultural backgrounds can have additional difficulties with communication, cultural restrictions about discussing certain topics with certain people, the formality of hearing processes and cultural characteristics that may detract from a particular child's ability to give the necessary information in court or that may affect the weight and credibility of a particular child's evidence.[306]
14.122 The problems for Indigenous witnesses, including children, are well documented. They include difficulties caused by the question-answer format of giving evidence, which is not the usual way that Indigenous people give important information,[307] the use of silence as an important and positively valued part of many Indigenous conservations, 'either-or' questions that are rarely found in the linguistic structure of traditional Indigenous languages or Indigenous varieties of English, cultural differences in the use of eye contact and gratuitous concurrence — an Indigenous conversational pattern of agreeing with whatever is being asked.[308]
14.123 Other problems may arise from the type of information being sought. For example, speakers of Indigenous languages or Indigenous varieties of English tend not to use expressions that specify quantity or number, tending to name or list rather than count.[309] There are often restrictions on certain kinds of knowledge to certain classifications of people or on speaking about certain things in public, which will deter or prevent a witness giving certain information in court.[310]
14.124 Similar problems may face child witnesses from non-English speaking backgrounds. Even where a person from a non-English speaking background has a good command of English, he or she can experience cultural and linguistic interference with the use of language and demeanour in court to the detriment of the evidence or the way that it is perceived.[311] Although not all people from non-English speaking backgrounds experience the same barriers to giving evidence, other common problems may include cultural inhibitions about discussing certain topics, for example sexual assault, fears of police, courts and judges, inability to comprehend or communicate in English and lack of knowledge about the legal system and what is expected or possible through the legal process.[312]
14.125 Many reports have attempted to address these issues for adult witnesses.[313] Their recommendations are equally important for the appropriate participation of child witnesses. Particular attention should focus on the right of child witnesses who do not speak fluent and standard English to the assistance of an interpreter or communicator at their request, the possibility of giving evidence in narrative format and the admissibility of expert evidence of cultural or other language considerations that may assist in making a fairer assessment of a particular child witness' evidence. In addition, our recommendations regarding investigations, witness support and preparation, courtroom facilities and appropriate training and education of the participants should be implemented taking account of children from different cultural backgrounds.
Recommendation 116 Upon the application of a party or on its own motion, a court should have discretion to permit unconventional means of giving evidence for child witnesses from different cultural backgrounds. In addition, expert evidence explaining cultural behaviours or communication characteristics of a child from a particular cultural background should be admissible.
Implementation. The Evidence Act should be amended to reflect these provisions. The Attorney-General, through SCAG, should encourage all States and Territories to enact similar legislation.
Recommendation 117 Every child witness who requests or who appears to need the assistance of an interpreter should have the right to the assistance of such interpreter while being questioned, both during the investigation and trial stages of any legal proceeding.
Implementation. The national interview standards should require that all children questioned during investigations have the right to an interpreter. The Evidence Act should be amended to reflect that all child witnesses should have the right to an interpreter while giving evidence in court. The Attorney-General through SCAG should encourage all States and Territories to enact similar legislation.
14.126 Children with certain disabilities may face particular problems in communication and perceptions of their competency to give evidence.[314] Many of the recommendations in this chapter can address these difficulties, as they require the court and the parties to take account of the circumstances of the individual child witness. However, additional assistance may be required for child witnesses with disabilities, particularly in communicating their evidence to the court and ensuring that stereotypes of people with disabilities or unusual behavioral or physical manifestations of a disability do not characterise their evidence as unreliable.[315]
14.127 One United States case illustrates the special measures that can be adopted for such children. A three year old child was psychiatrically disturbed as a result of being abducted, sexually abused and dumped into a cesspit. She was able to give evidence about her experience by a video-taped deposition during which all questions were asked by her psychiatrist.[316] The prosecutor, defence counsel and a representative of the judge were behind a one-way mirror and their questions were put to the child through the psychiatrist, who had a micro-receiver in his ear. The psychiatrist could then seek the desired information in a manner that did not further disturb the child.[317]
14.128 A submission to the Inquiry reported an Australian case concerning a young deaf and intellectually impaired woman sexually assaulted by an acquaintance.[318] She was unable to communicate her evidence in a conventional manner as she did not speak, could not understand conventional sign language and was able only to type out her words on a typewriter. A system was set up so that the young woman could be asked questions by computer and type her responses, with both projected on a screen for the jury to see. With the young woman able to tell her story to the court, the defendant changed his plea.[319]
14.129 The disadvantages suffered by witnesses with certain disabilities include perceptions that their evidence is unreliable. In exceptional circumstances, the question and answer format may be completely inappropriate for witnesses with certain disabilities. In other cases the disability may cause the witness to behave in court in a manner that might be perceived as an indication of unreliability.[320] In these cases expert evidence should be admissible to explain a child witness' particular disability, the characteristics of the disability and likely physical responses of the child to the court environment and process.[321]
Recommendation 118 Upon the application of a party or on its own motion, a court should be able to permit unconventional means of giving evidence for child witnesses with disabilities. In addition, expert evidence explaining the disability of a child witness and its physical or behavioral characteristics should be admissible.
Implementation. The Evidence Act should be amended to reflect these provisions. The Attorney-General through SCAG should encourage all States and Territories to enact similar legislation.

Here the Messages Are the Media (Tweet, Tweet)
By DAVID CARR MARCH 17, 2009
AUSTIN, Tex. — Welcome to Austin, a city where, for the time being, everybody is famous, the economy is rocking, and the grid is groaning under an influx of the digitally interested.
Once only a much-praised music festival stood here, but organizers of South by Southwest have expanded their event laterally over the years, moving into film and interactive media with a vengeance.
The parties and panels at the festival's interactive conference are jammed with optimistic, blue-sky thoughts and plans. On Monday night The Onion, the satirical newspaper and Web site (theonion.com), took over the Mohawk, a honky-tonk on Red River Road. More than 1,000 people jammed in, listening to the indie rock of the Lemurs and swilling free beer, while constantly checking their iPhones to make sure that something more amazing wasn't jumping off at another location.
In Austin this week — the interactive and film elements give way to music on Wednesday — information is not only free, but also comes at a breakneck pace, often accompanied by some measure of hype and excitement. The weather is hot, the barbecue amazing, and the person standing next to you might be a recent college graduate or the chief executive of a startup like Foursquare — or both. Just as likely, she is a blogger with tens of thousands of followers.
On Tuesday Rex Sorgatz, a social-network impresario who blogs at Fimoculous.com, blew a whistle via e-mail and suggested that folks sneak up to the roof deck of the Omni hotel. Few partygoers were actually staying there, but dozens gathered in the sun, which had finally arrived after a few uncharacteristically cloudy days.
The looks have changed in geekland: instead of backpacks and duct-taped glasses, it was tattoos and bikinis. The pool was full of sun-dappled bathers, most of whom were either ignoring or swimming against broader economic currents.
"I didn't even come last year, but this year we dropped the whole team in, I guess as a way of saying that we mean business," said David Karp, the 23-year-old chief executive of Tumblr, the popular short-form blogging tool. "We're mostly having fun, doing a few meetings and enjoying seeing old friends. It would probably be a better use of my time to be back home staying up till 4 in the morning and just crushing it to come up with one more application, but this is more fun."
Attendance for the music festival is expected to be off slightly this year, and flat for the film program. But the organizers say that the number of participants at the interactive event will be up 20 percent or more, to more than 10,000. Where is the money that's paying for attendance and potential deals coming from?
"You got me," said Louis Black, the editor of The Austin Chronicle, a newsweekly, and a founder of the 23-year-old festival. "On elevators, in line and at the bars you can hear people from the interactive program talking, and they are either looking for a deal here, have one in hand, or are already rolling."

"I guess there still must be some funding left for what is really new and could be a winner," he continued, adding, "I thought that kind of stuff was over."
The combined attendance of the film and interactive programs now approaches that of the music festival, but they are very different crowds. Some bands will still gain notice in Austin by actual word of mouth, and their next gig here will mushroom. But at the Web conference, feedback begins before events, with people criticizing stage setups and anticipating who might say what.
Twitter entered the lexicon two years ago here when it was the darling of the conference, and it is now the event's dominant platform, seeming to overtake actual conversation. Why talk when you can tweet? Outside the main ballroom at the conference center, a map of Austin is annotated with tweets from specific locations, suggesting that a given panel is worth skipping, or that the line for a particular movie looks insurmountable.
"The growth of location-based approaches has been very big this year," said Hugh Forrest, event director of South by Southwest Interactive. "And if you look at what people are saying here on Twitter and elsewhere, there is a lot of optimism, in spite of what is happening elsewhere."
AT&T apparently did not anticipate the onslaught. The sheer volume of iPhone users nearly pulled down the grid by Monday, with frustrated users screaming about outages on Twitter and elsewhere.
"It's one thing for AT&T to drop random calls, but when it starts to put your hookup in jeopardy, well, that's crossing the line," tweeted 7daysageek. AT&T responded to the hailstorm of complaints with a chastened news release and increased capacity on Monday.
In this alternative electronic universe there is a sense of the possible, but the brutal math remains. During the keynote session on Tuesday, Chris Anderson, the editor of Wired, spoke about finding a sustainable business model in a world that seems free of user revenues, a model that might involve the few paying for specific things, while the many ride free. The declining audience for mainstream media has all sorts of antecedents. But it was obvious after a few days here that the people formerly known as the audience were too busy making content to consume much of it, unless it came from their friends. The medium is not the message; the messages are the media.
All this can become insular, and fast. On Monday Nick Douglas and Melissa Gira Grant, two veteran bloggers, hosted a session called the "Sex Lives of the Microfamous." The two were involved once, and broke up on Tumblr, or so the story goes.
But here in the offline world, they were back together and led a discussion with about 50 people that gradually revealed that everyone in the room was famous, at least to some other people in the room, and that coming to terms with living transparently was going to take some doing.
One participant said he had some very firm boundaries. If a first date goes well, and he is interested in seeing the person again, he sets out the rules of engagement.
"You can blog about me or you can date me, but you can't do both," he said to audible approval.

Obama to Appoint Rice Security Advisor, Reinstate Power
The two women are seen as supporting a more activist foreign policy than the president himself.

President Barack Obama announced on Wednesday that he plans to appoint his former foreign-policy advisor Samantha Power as the United States' permanent representative to the United Nations. She would replace Susan Rice who is to become his national security advisor. Both women are seen as favoring a more activist foreign policy than the president himself.
Rice was considered as a candidate to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state late last year but withdrew her nomination after opposition Republicans had criticized remarks she made in the wake of a terrorist attack on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, an incident she repeatedly claimed had been triggered by an anti-Islam video that also stirred demonstrations outside the United States embassy in the Egyptian capital Cairo. The attacked turned out to be premeditated.
Unlike a cabinet position, Rice's appointment as the president's top security advisor does not require lawmakers' approval. She will replace Tom Donilon who resigns next month after serving in the president's National Security Council for four years.
The seat Rice vacates in the United Nations would be filled by Power, pending the Senate's confirmation. Formerly an Obama campaign advisor and human rights advocate, she was seen, with Rice, as one of the administration's staunchest proponents for America's participation in the multilateral intervention in Libya in 2011 when the military was reluctant to engage in a mission that Admiral Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, admitted didn't serve any national interests.
The two women supported intervention, after Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi had threatened to level an entire city where opposition against his regime was rife, on the grounds of "responsibility to protect," a doctrine that holds American military power can be deployed for humanitarian reasons. They also both supported the war in Iraq, initiated by Obama's Republican predecessor George W. Bush, for similar reasons.
Other recently appointed members of Obama's national-security team have distanced themselves from the Iraq war, now widely considered a debacle because it triggered years of insurgency against the Western occupation and exacerbated conflict between the country's Muslim sects, including Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, a Republican, and Secretary of State John Kerry, a Democrat. They are both seen as favoring a more cautious foreign policy that reflects the United States' reduced ability and prestige.

With just days to go until the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes enforceable. Large companies, small businesses and indeed any organisation who holds personal data on individuals are busy gaining our consent for marketing and evaluating the data they have about us.
Today personal data is used in everything from sales, when we purchase from a business or use a service to customer relationship management systems to marketing. This might include your name, address, and date of birth, indeed any data, which is capable of identifying a living individual, is called 'personal data'. It also includes paper records as well as and online information.
But have you ever stopped and thought about what a particular organisation holds about you and how you can find out this?
Well even before anyone heard of the GDPR, we've always been able to access and find out what information an organisation has about us, under the Data Protection Act (DPA). By writing to the a company you can ask for the information they hold and they are legally required to inform you.
There are a few exceptions to this rule, when information can be withheld. If the information is about the prevention, detection or investigation of a crime, a matter of security or the armed forces or the assessment or collection of tax are a few examples. Under the Data Protection Act, organisations can charge you for providing the information, which is usually no more than £10.
From 25thMay 2018, under the GDPR you'll be able to make a subject access request and in most cases this will be free of charge. You can make this request verbally or in writing and the organisation has one month from receipt of your request to respond. Once you receive this information you can have any inaccurate personal data amended, or added to if its incomplete. The GDPR also introduces a right for individuals to have personal data erased, known as 'the right to be forgotten', although it is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.
Exercising the right to object to direct marketing will be easier under GDPR. You've probably noticed a few emails in your inbox from companies wanting to stay in touch after the 25thMay. They now require your consent to market you, which means you agree to be contacted and tick a box that makes it clear what you're agreeing to.
The personal data that many organisations hold on us is essential to daily life, such as councils, doctors or hospital records, but it will now be easier for individuals to select what they receive from companies and to unsubscribe to those they no longer require or want to receive. Consent means offering people genuine choice and control over how their data is used.
It's important to note that GDPR adds to, rather than alters, consumer rights and protections. GDPR will build on the Data Protection Act and strengthen your personal data rights and give you more control over how and what organisations store about you.

Birthplace of Rastafarianism comes under attack
Leonard P. Howell was the founding father of Rastafarianism, a path that blended elements of African spirituality with Judaism and Christianity. Raised in an Anglican family, Howell traveled to New York City in 1932, and when he returned to Jamaica a year later, he announced the anointing of Haile Sellassie as Emperor of Ethiopa represented the return of the true messiah as foretold in the Old Testament.
There were a few other early preachers of this faith, but Howell is considered as the founder and he spent much of his adult life in conflict with the Jamaican authorities.
The community he founded in Sligoville, Jamaica, known as "Pinnacle," was razed in 1954 when it had nearly 4,500 residents, who endured intense persecution, mostly for their devotion to marijuana. Eventually, in the 1960s, the exportation of marijuana into Florida became the island's major source of revenue, and once sufficient bribes were paid to the right people, this illicit trade exploded until the DEA forced a shutdown.
Howell died in 1981, and last year his home at Pinnacle (see photo above) was declared an historic site by the Jamaican government. However, a developer now wants to build on land surrounding this home, land considered sacred by Rastas.
Donisha Prendergast, Bob Marley's oldest granddaughter has joined thousands of Jamaicans who are protesting this proposed development, a story that began unfolding over what would have been Bob Marley's 69th birthday. The Rastas living on the building site have already been officially evicted, although most are holding their ground in what could become a long and protracted stand-off.

Henry errors see New England claim victory in Toronto, 2-1
By Richard FarleyMay 3, 2014, 3:36 PM EDT
Henry, along with Jermain Defoe and Jonathan Osorio, was one of three Toronto starters returning from injury after the team's bye week – health they brought hope the Reds could recapture their early season form. In the sixth minute, those hopes looked set to be rewarded, with Jackson opening the scoreing from well outside the box.
Patrick Mullins (left) scored a goal and drew a penalty kick in his second Major League Soccer start. (Photo: AP Photos.)
It was Henry's first big mistake that allowed New England to equalize. Under no pressure, Henry passed a ball from just outside Toronto's penalty area to Revolution midfielder Daigo Kobayashi, who was standing alone roughly 35 yards from goal. Quickly playing the ball forward, Kobayashi allowed Mullins to capitalize on Henry's miscue, the former Maryland forward's left-footed blast beating Julio César from 21 yards out.
Deep in the second half — after New England had looked better until intermission, but Toronto controlled the second — a far post cross from the left by Revs attacker Steve Neumann was headed back toward the spot by Chris Tierney. Mullins was there to put a shot toward goal, but a lunging Henry was called for a hand ball when the shot appeared to strike him at the base of an extended right arm. After Nguyen sent César the wrong way, the Revolution had its third win in four – the team's first ever win at BMO Field.
Like last week's win over Sporting Kansas City (as well as the team's victory in San Jose earlier this season), the result was a testament to the team's ability to stay close enough to take advantage of what comes. In Santa Clara, that was a extra time chance to counter. Last week, it was Aurelien Collin's red card. This week, it was Henry's errors. That may not be a formula for world domination, but it's a resourcefulness that will leave a team playing into November.
The Revs still have issues. Jose Goncalves is a big miss, particularly with Andrew Farrell's positioning still a work in progress. And as Teal Bunbury skied an open chance near the end of regulation time, we were reminded the team hasn't replaced Juan Agudelo. Yet with Lee Nguyen controlling play in midfield and the team playing savvy, relatively mistake-free soccer, the Revs can take advantage of opportunities like today's.
That Toronto gave the Revs that chance harps on the Reds' ongoing theme. Despite the return of Defoe, the newfound health of Osorio, and a healthier Michael Bradley, the team put only three shots on target. Though they didn't give up possession today was willingly as they have throughout the season, Toronto's only goal was a somewhat freakish one. Gilberto may have come close late from a Mark Bloom cross, but that initiative happened after Toronto had fallen behind. This team is still producing too few chances, given the talent in its lineup.
As a result, Toroto's below "five hundred": three wins; fourth losses. The team is now as healthy as its been since week one, but that may not matter. If Toronto continues to approach games as if they don't have the talent to control its opposition, the team will be left with too many results decided by random defensive errors.

Home Headlines Glasgow City Council to 'enter negotiations' on Buchanan Galleries proposals
Glasgow City Council to 'enter negotiations' on Buchanan Galleries proposals
Google, 2021
GLASGOW City Council has announced it is to enter negotiations on the proposed redevelopment of Buchanan Galleries into a new mixed-use quarter.
The proposals, from Landsec, would see the shopping centre make way for a net zero development – delivered through a decade-long project between 2023-2033 – featuring mixed-use retail, office, leisure and residential quarter.
Glasgow City Council said the initial proposals respond directly to the national climate emergency agenda and also align with its own city centre strategy – which champion a move away from mono-use zones in favour of multi-functional experiential infrastructure and planning uses that would provide a more 'sustainable and resilient' outcome for Glasgow.
It added that it is considering the use of tax incremental finance (TIF) to support some of the major enabling works that would be required for the proposals to be delivered. This would include a proposal to construct a capping over some, or all, of the north cutting of the railway line at Queen Street Station to create a platform for either a building or a public space, in addition to public realm works in and around the area. Progressing the cap will require Landsec to obtain consent from Network Rail, and discussions for this have commenced.
As the development will surround the void above Queen Street Station, the council said there is a 'unique' opportunity to create a new and exciting public space in the heart of Glasgow city centre. In Landsec's view, this forms an important component to the masterplan as it activates public space that could not otherwise be meaningfully, or viably, developed in the future.
The council said this element of the plan will act as a 'catalyst' to significantly improve access across the city centre, create high-quality active travel routes and boost linkages to Queen Street Station and other public transport hubs.
Landsec also believe that this is essential to the delivery of comprehensive and successful placemaking, with a range of uses, accommodation and public spaces that maximise the socio-economic and environmental opportunities and viability.
There is also an opportunity to improve the area around the Concert Hall steps at the top of Buchanan Street to allow for the physical reconfiguration of Buchanan Galleries, enhance the new streetscape, and deliver a more connected and permeable scheme resulting from the creation of improved pedestrian linkages between Buchanan Street and Killermont Street.
The council added that there is also the potential to provide disabled access from Buchanan Street and to create a new pedestrian link from Buchanan Street to Killermont Street, Buchanan Bus Station and Glasgow Caledonian University. However, any development of this area will reflect the history of this space as a resting point, and an area for event activity, protesting and other public activities, and would increase the overall space for public use through the physical reconfiguration of the existing Galleries' footprint.
TIF is a financial mechanism promoted by the Scottish Government through a series of six pilot projects, one of which was the earlier Buchanan Galleries TIF in Glasgow. TIF allows for a local authority to borrow over a 25-year period to deliver enabling works in the form of new and enhanced public realm and community infrastructure, creating an environment that will leverage new private sector investment and in turn deliver additional non-domestic rates (NDR) from the consequent development activity. The financial mechanism allows for the local authority to retain the additional NDR generated by this development to repay the TIF loan.
Councillor Susan Aitken, leader of Glasgow City Council, said, "Glasgow, like town and city centres everywhere, is facing significant and accelerating structural changes. These initial proposals detail a response to those changes, ensuring Glasgow has a vibrant, successful and evolving city centre which continues to be the envy of our peers. Approval for the commencement of negotiations with Landsec would allow us to push ahead with addressing oncoming challenges and opportunities in this rapidly changing world.
"A 21st century city centre delivering on Glasgow's international standing and ambitions means more mixed-use developments, a greater residential population, more public spaces, sustainable transport options and more people-focused streets. The transformation of the Buchanan Galleries can be a vote of confidence on Glasgow's future."
