Are unlimited data plans on their way back?

NEW YORK (AP) — AT&T is once again experimenting with offering unlimited data plans to smartphone customers while promoting its DirecTV service, signaling a potential reversal of industry trends toward data caps and charges for big video watchers.
AT&T is trying to capitalize on its $48.5 billion purchase of DirecTV last year. On Monday, it's announcing an unlimited data plan for cellphones, if you also get DirecTV or AT&T's home-TV service, U-verse.
The unlimited data deal may be cheaper than AT&T's limited-data plan if you have a family that watches a lot of video and want cable; if it's one person, sticking with the existing plan is likely a better value, especially if you don't want cable. It's a limited-time offer but AT&T won't say when the promotion would end. People who sign up can keep their plans when or if the promotion ends.
While AT&T killed its unlimited data plan in 2010 for new customers, followed by Verizon in 2012, unlimited plans — with qualifiers — do still exist. Both the biggest wireless carriers let their existing customers keep unlimited plans, although the price has gone up recently. Late last year, they announced price increases — Verizon charging an extra $20 per line, AT&T another $5.
T-Mobile and Sprint, the No. 3 and No. 4 carriers, currently offer unlimited plans for new customers (T-Mobile also just raised the price ). But they throttle, or slow your speed, after you use up 23 gigabtyes. AT&T says it may do this if there's a lot of demand on the network once you've hit 22 GB. That translates to about 25 hours of high-definition video in a month. Verizon says it has stopped doing this.
AT&T's move follows T-Mobile's new "Binge On" plan, which lets you stream video without it counting against your data cap from companies T-Mobile has signed up — including DirecTV. As part of that program, T-Mobile automatically degrades the quality of all video you watch to standard definition from HD. That has upset advocates of net neutrality, the concept that all Web traffic should be treated equally.
T-Mobile began shaking up wireless industry practices after the government blocked AT&T from acquiring it in 2011, scrapping contract plans to give customers more flexibility, lowering prices and introducing Binge On. In recent years, its share of new users has been growing, according to research from MoffettNathanson. Amid T-Mobile's changes and as more than 90 percent of U.S. adults now has a cellphone, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint have been lowering prices and offering promotions to compete.
Figuring out if AT&T's latest is a good value is a little tricky.
— The unlimited plan with one phone, including a first year of DirecTV, costs at least $110 a month and will rise to at least $140 a month after a year because of the DirecTV promotional price. This does not include fees, taxes or the cost of the phone itself.
— Just getting a phone plan with 5 GB of data would cost you $75 a month, before the cost of the phone, taxes and fees; it's $85, to start, including DirecTV.
— The unlimited plan costs at least $150.
— A 5 GB phone plan costs $100; 15 GB costs $130. Adding TV costs at least $10 a month more to start.
Figuring out family finances is more complicated. A family of four would save money with the unlimited plan if they would have opted for a plan with 20 GB, but spend more if they just wanted to share 15 GB.


Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) suggested today that's not going to happen.
While it's encouraging that the Senate won't consider an untouched Finance Committee bill, I'd add that I know how to count to 60, too. And if there's a good bill on the floor, and Reid's caucus agrees that health care reform, after decades of delay, deserves an up-or-down vote, the majority most certainly can do it without Republican support.
As for the Finance Committee's interminable center-right negotiations, we were told last week that the Senate wouldn't have a floor vote before the August recess, but we would at least see the Finance Committee approve a bill. Today, Enzi said that's not going to happen, either, and he expects his little group to work on an agreement once lawmakers return in September.
The Senate is scheduled to adjourn a week from tomorrow. The leadership can't use the recess to reconcile HELP and Finance bills if Finance isn't prepared to move forward until six weeks from now, at the earliest.
Seems like a situation in need of some Senate leadership. I wonder if we'll see any.

SiriusXM Swaps '40s Music For Billy Joel, Learns That People Really Love '40s Music

satellite of rage siriusXM sirius xm '40s on 4 billy joel satellite radio
If you've never had SiriusXM satellite radio, you might not be familiar with their station "'40s on 4." It's exactly what it sounds like: songs from the first half of this century that your grandparents or great-grandparents might sing along with. You might assume that this sort of station wouldn't be popular enough in 2014 to prompt a public outcry when it's taken away. You would be wrong.
Now, '40s on 4 isn't being taken away forever. SiriusXM is running a temporary channel that's all Billy Joel, all the time, which sounds like a pretty great idea. The part of this plan that doesn't sound so great to us was that they're putting this station on channel 4 for its 3-month run. The '40s on 4 programming isn't gone: you can stream it on a smartphone or a computer.
https://twitter.com/40sOn4/status/448193293302894593
Let's be honest: most people have satellite radio for listening in the car, and many of the people who would be interested in a '40s station probably don't carry around iPhones that they could use to stream it. "Obviously, [streaming the station] does not work for most of us who listen to the radio while driving," writes Lindsay, the reader who originally told us about this consumer uproar.
Of course, there are some young, tech-savvy fans of the station. They're tech-savvy enough to write to Consumerist and take to Facebook in anger.
Here's a small selection of posts from just the last 24 hours or so:
SiriusXM is staying on message: '40s on 4 will be back in June, once the Billy Joel station's 3-month run is over. They don't seem to understand why it is that people subscribe to satellite radio in the first place, especially people who have bought devices for their elderly parents to enjoy classic music.
We contacted Sirius and asked for their comment on the situation: they haven't contacted us back yet. We'll update this post if they do.

Standing on the northeastern corner of Broadway and 18th Avenue, at the eastern edge of Denver's central business district, Trinity United Methodist Church is one of Denver's most historic and distinctive religious structures. Now surrounded by parking lots and skyscrapers, this elegant Gothic Revival structure houses a congregation that traces its origins to the earliest days of settlement in Colorado. The church was founded in May 1859 as the Auraria and Denver City Methodist Episcopal Mission in the Pikes Peak Region of the Kansas Territory. The church at 18th and Broadway, which replaced an earlier structure at 14th and Lawrence Streets, was constructed between 1887 and 1888. Designed by Denver architect Robert S. Roeschlaub and clad in rusticated Castle Rock rhyolite, the church forms a beautiful example of what its Victorian builders called "Modern Gothic".
Trinity United Methodist Church had its beginnings in the first wave of Methodist Episcopal missionary activity in the new settlements created by the Pike's Peak Gold Rush of 1858—1861. Founded in 1859 as the Auraria and Denver City Methodist Episcopal Mission, the church was incorporated in 1863 as the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Its congregants included many of the most prominent citizens of Denver, including Governor John Evans, who contributed to the building fund for the church's first permanent home, at Lawrence and 14th Streets, a block away from what is now Larimer Square.
The rapid growth of the new city saw the original church's neighborhood become crowded and commercial. Many former congregants preferred to attend churches in their new suburban neighborhoods. In the 1880s, the decision was made to move the church to a new location at 18th and Broadway. The new property stood at the eastern edge of the central business district, near the tree-lined streets and substantial homes of Capitol Hill. Within a few years, the church was joined by the Central Presbyterian Church, two blocks away at 17th and Sherman. By the early years of the twentieth century, the greater Capitol Hill neighborhood would also be home to two cathedrals (one Roman Catholic, one Episcopal) and a number of synagogues.
Construction began on the new Trinity United Methodist Church in 1887. The building, designed by prominent Denver architect Robert S. Roeschlaub, is a prime example of what was then known as Modern or Reformed Gothic. Growing out the earlier Gothic Revival, Modern Gothic drew on the principles of the emerging Arts and Crafts movement. The Arts and Crafts movement embraced a handmade, pre-industrial aesthetic, something which is reflected in the rusticated (that is, rough-cut and unpolished) blocks of Trinity United Methodist's exterior.
As the church was named for the Holy Trinity, Roeschlaub made divisions into three parts a key element of his design. Three gothic arches span the entry, the steeple is divided into three parts, and even the pews inside show a motif of three interlocking rings. The pinkish-gray rhyolite used for the exterior was quarried in Castle Rock, south of Denver; at the top of the church's gables, different shades of rhyolite were used to form a checkerboard pattern. Pale sandstone trim and polished red granite columnns at the main entrance provide a contrast. In keeping with the ideas of the Arts and Craft Movement, the subtly asymmetrical massing of the exterior suggests an ancient building that grew over time. The carving and lettering on the façade, and the wrought iron trimmings, reflect Arts and Crafts taste rather than strictly copying medieval prototypes.
The church's own website describes its design as "an auditorium cloaked in a Gothic shell". The church's interior is dominated by an enormous Roosevelt organ, installed during construction. As Denver did not have electricty at the time, the power needed to run the technologically advanced organ was generated by a water-powered dynamo in the church's basement. The carved ashwood casing, designed by George Ashdown Audsley, a Birtish architect who specialized in organ architecture, allowed the modern organ to blend with the rest of the structure. The church's interior also features stained-glass windows, largely the work of Healy and Millet, a Chicago firm specializing in the Arts and Crafts style. The church remains an active congregation, holding regular services and conducting community outreach.

Forget buy to let! I'd buy these 2 bargain FTSE 100 dividend shares in an ISA today
Peter Stephens | Tuesday, 8th October, 2019 | More on: KGF LLOY
The future prospects for buy-to-let investments continue to be highly uncertain. Although house price growth has remained buoyant in some parts of the UK, tax changes and increasing difficulty in obtaining buy-to-let mortgages could make the investment appeal of property lower than it has been for many years.
By contrast, the investment potential of the FTSE 100 appears to be high. The index has experienced a turbulent period of late, which could present buying opportunities for long-term investors who are seeking high-yielding stocks at low prices.
With that in mind, here are two large-cap shares which could be worth buying at the present time.
Recent results from DIY retailer Kingfisher (LSE: KGF) highlighted the challenges faced by the wider sector. Its half-year results showed a decline in like-for-like sales of 1.8%, with the performance of its various outlets very mixed.
The company is aiming to enhance its customer offer through increasingly differentiated ranges. It's also been able to increase the strength of its balance sheet through debt reduction.
With a new CEO having started work at the business last month, further changes to the company's strategy could be ahead as it seeks to strengthen its market position.
With Kingfisher having a dividend yield of 5.6%, it appears to offer income investing potential. Furthermore, its dividend payment is covered more than twice by net profit. This suggests it's highly affordable at its current level.
Certainly, its trading conditions may continue to be weak in the near term. But for investors who can take a long-term view of what is a cyclical business, now could be the right time to buy a slice of the stock while it appears to offer a wide margin of safety.
Another FTSE 100 stock facing an uncertain period is Lloyds (LSE: LLOY). The bank's recent results highlighted it's experiencing a period of relatively high uncertainty that's impacting its performance. This trend may continue over the coming months, as consumer and business confidence may be influenced by political and economic uncertainty across the UK.
Despite this, Lloyds' financial outlook remains relatively robust. It expects costs to fall further this year, while its investment in boosting its digital presence is set to continue. This could increase its competitive advantage compared to sector peers – especially since Lloyds has a size and scale advantage over many of its challenger peers.
Lloyds currently has a forward dividend yield of 6.5% from a payout that's covered around twice by earnings. This suggests there's scope for dividend growth over the long run, should operating conditions improve.
Although buying the stock now may lead to paper losses in the short run, over the longer term, the stock's high yield and the delivery of its strategy may produce capital growth alongside a generous income return.

Looking for something to appease your football fix but don't know where to begin? How would you feel if you can also win lots of real cash? The Football Star slot, which is powered by the prestigious Microgaming software, grants you the chance to enjoy your favorite game whenever you like.
This popular online slot can be found on All Jackpots Casino. Powered by the prestigious Microgaming software, you can be sure that you will have high-quality gambling fun whenever you like. This is due to this company's reputation for high-quality graphics, a wide selection of games (in this case, well over 600), unbeatable security, and much more. And that's not the best part — newbies can take advantage of their welcome bonus that can get up to over $1600 in free cash. This is definitely one of the most lucrative bonuses offered by online casinos.
This thrilling game was released in 2014, right in time for the football craze that was taking over Brazil. The vibrantly colored game takes place in the center of a stadium filled with cheering fans. These sound effects, rather than being a distraction, actually help increase the game's realism and increase your anticipation of what the next spin will bring.
This game has all the symbols that you would see while watching a real live match. For instance, you can expect to see the ref throwing out red cards, the striker which happens to be a Christian Ronaldo lookalike, go faster red football boots, a goal-saving goalie, and the green pitch. There are also a few random action shots of the players.
It offers 243 ways to win and during gameplay, you will want to keep a close eye out for the randomly appearing stacked wilds, which can net you a ton a cash. But, that's not all, their Rolling Wheels feature is nothing to shake a stick at either. On every win, the winning symbols will explode and more symbols will come in to replace them. This means, that it's possible for you to get a chain of wins off one spin. Nice, right?
One of the best features of this game is the Striking Wild Bonus which appears randomly. Basically, it turns one of the five reels of this game into a wild reel where you can win some cash. But, if this feature pops up amidst stacked wilds on another reel, then it's safe to say that you've hit it big.
Another great slot bonus feature is the free spin games. If you are able to get at least 3 football scatter symbols, you'll win 15 free spins, get 5 and the number increases to 25.
As you can see, the free spins have a lot to offer but that's not all, you also gain access to the Rolling Reels feature as well. But, unlike the one in the base game, this one comes with a multiplier train. This means that every consecutive win that you rack up will get your winnings multiplied at least twice, but up to 10 times, for at least 5 consecutive rolling reel winds.
This game is available for play on Android and iPhone mobile devices. And when you add its vibrantly colored themes, random wilds, and explosive Rolling Reels, this game has more than enough to keep you entertained for hours on end. The only thing is that you must remember to stay within your budget — although the windfalls here are decent they will not make your dreams of lavish living come true. That is — unless you get well placed stacked wilds and some lucky spins.

Interview with Steel Panther: An All-You-Can-Eat Package
Maria Shields
If you haven't seen Steel Panther live, you are really missing out. With their amazing costumes, balls to the wall energy and, of course, undeniable talent, they put on quite the show. They have recently embarked on their All You Can Eat tour, which will be stopping at Philadelphia's Theatre Of Living Arts on May 17, Sayreville, NJ's Starland Ballroom on May 18 and NYC's Irving Plaza on May 27.
With a new album, All You Can Eat, the hit single "The Burden Of Being Wonderful" and so much more, Steel Panther have a lot to talk about! I recently interviewed vocalist/guitarist Michael Starr to discuss the band's tour, the music industry and more. Check it out below:
You guys are about to embark on the All You Can Eat tour next week. How excited are you?
It's going to be awesome! It's our biggest U.S. tour to date. We are gone for the whole month of May, and we are hitting so many cities that we've never been to before! We're going to introduce Steel Panther to places like Idaho that have no idea what they are in for! It's a ton of new, cool places, new guitars, and so much more. Our record is doing so well here in the States that we want to share it with everyone!
That sounds amazing! I also see you will be playing some festivals this summer at the end of the tour. Do you guys enjoy festivals, and do you take the time to watch other bands?
Oh yeah, festivals are fucking awesome, seriously. It's the chance you get to meet so many other bands that you would never get to meet. There is so much energy. It's a completely different experience than tour. And yes, we always take time to watch the other bands, from the second we get there.
I love your new record, and I think "The Burden Of Being Wonderful" was a great choice for a single. How has the reaction to the new record been?
It's been amazing. People are loving it, we're getting a ton of radio play. I mean, it's funny, because when you first hear the single, that may be your first time hearing Steel Panther, and you probably think, "Aw, this is so sweet," but then you switch tracks and you're like, "Oh shit!" (laughs).
I've heard the record, and you are right on point! What made you pick the single?
It made the most sense. Didn't have any cursing, didn't have to do a lot of edits, and it's really radio-friendly.
You guys are so glammed up on stage. What is your style like on an off day?
Well, right now I am wearing cargo shorts, red Converses, aviators, with my hair down. I always am keeping the party going, just like right now!
The band has been at it for a while in the music industry. What would you say has changed the most since you first started?
Honestly man, the internet has changed everything in this business. I mean, between things like Spotify, where you can literally listen to whatever you want, and social media, it's crazy how much you can utilize it. But I really feel that word of mouth is so important, still. I mean, that's how we got started. We were this underground internet band that one fan would say to their friend, "Have you seen that band Steel Panther?"
I truly feel, though, with all other things aside, being a good live band is most important, especially now. If you don't put on a good live set, you aren't going to last as a band. I feel that has been our ticket to success, because our shows are so different and animated. We always try to switch it up and keep it fresh, regroup after each show and tour. Keep fans coming back and the word of mouth going!
That is so true, I agree with you 100 percent. Now, for anyone who hasn't been to a Steel Panther show, how could you describe it?
If you want a good time, a night where you don't have to worry about bills, your parents, drama, or anything along those lines, come to our show. It's one big party from start to finish; everything fun wrapped into one. If you want to go to something sorrowful, go see Kings Of Leon.
Thanks so much for your time, Michael. I will be seeing you on tour.
Can't wait, see you there!
Steel Panther will be playing at the Theatre Of Living Arts on May 17, the Starland Ballroom on May 18, and Irving Plaza on May 27. Their new album, All You Can Eat, is available now. For more information, go to steelpantherrocks.com.

Human Rights Watch Film Festival Presents First Digital Edition
Africa Confidential>
Post author:africamustchange
Post published:15th May 2020
Post category:Africa Confidential
Still from the film Coded Bias.
(New York) – The Human Rights Watch Film Festival presents its first full digital edition of bold new films that will be available nationwide, in response to this time of crisis, Human Rights Watch said today. The film festival will feature in-depth online discussions with filmmakers, film subjects, and Human Rights Watch researchers.
As individuals and communities across the world struggle to face the challenges of an unprecedented global pandemic, the restriction of basic human rights – including pathways to medical and economic survival – are felt most severely by those already impacted by stark inequalities. Now more than ever, the world needs powerful and uplifting stories about those demanding justice, equality, and safety for themselves, their communities, and future generations.
John Biaggi, Director of the Human Rights Watch Film Festival says "At a time when the world is experiencing a profound shared adversity, it is particularly heartening to witness the brave individuals and strong communities in the 11 films in this year's program. They overcome adversity in so many remarkable and moving ways to show us all how struggle can create positive and powerful change for humanity."
The Human Rights Watch Film Festival continues to collaborate closely with its long-time cinema venue partners Film at Lincoln Center and IFC Center for the online 2020 edition of the festival. The festival plans to return to Film at Lincoln Center and IFC Center in 2021 and beyond.
The full lineup of the US Digital Festival Premieres of the 2020 Human Rights Watch Film Festival are as follows:
The 8th, Aideen Kane, Lucy Kennedy, Maeve O'Boyle, USA/Ireland
Belly of the Beast (Opening Night), Erika Cohn, USA
Coded Bias, Shalini Kantayya, USA/UK/China/South Africa
Down a Dark Stairwell, Ursula Liang, USA
From Here, Christina Antonakos-Wallace, USA
Gather (Closing Night), Sanjay Rawal, USA
I Am Samuel, Peter Murimi, Kenya/Canada/UK/USA
Maxima, Claudia Sparrow, USA
Radio Silence, Juliana Fanjul, Switzerland/Mexico
Reunited, Mira Jargil, Denmark/Sweden
Welcome to Chechnya, David France, USA
Tickets will be available for sale beginning May 14. Audience members will be able to reserve and purchase individual film screening tickets by title, or a festival pass that will provide access to watch all 11 films. Access to screenings will be available to all individual ticket and festival pass holders during the film festival dates of June 11 through June 20, 2020.
To purchase tickets and to access program updates, please visit https://www.hrwfilmfestivalstream.org.
Each film has a limited number of tickets available, as would be the case for in-person cinema events, and advance ticket purchase is suggested. Ticket prices are: $9 individual ticket (public), $8 individual ticket for members of Film at Lincoln Center, Human Rights Watch Film Festival and IFC Center members, or $70 for a festival pass.
Audiences also have the opportunity to join live online Q&A's for free for every title with the filmmakers, Human Rights Watch experts, and special guests. For details please visit https://www.hrwfilmfestivalstream.org.

Dennis Lim, Director of Programming for Film at Lincoln Center and the New York Film Festival states, "Film at Lincoln Center is proud to continue its long partnership with the Human Rights Watch Film Festival. This annual showcase has always reminded us of the power of cinema to make a difference, which makes this digital edition all the more essential in these challenging times."
John Vanco, Senior Vice President and General Manager of IFC Center, adds, "IFC Center is honored to continue working with the Human Rights Watch Film Festival as the festival adapts to our new reality. Their mission of providing a showcase for important and inspiring films remains as vital as ever."
The 11 films in this year's festival are truly global in scope, and present an overriding message of hope, from reform of the criminal justice system in the US to the fight for reproductive rights in Ireland and the reframing of long-suppressed yet ever-powerful indigenous voices in Peru and North America. The Festival is excited to share films that reflect a resounding global rallying cry: The will of the people shall not be ignored. Echoing Human Rights Watch's own guiding principle of Investigate, Expose, and Change, the 2020 program reflects these steps in ensuring human rights for all.
In the opening night film Belly of the Beast, brave and tenacious women inside the California penal system work tirelessly with women on the outside to uncover systematic forced sterilization of countless prisoners. Mexican journalists in Radio Silence encounter threats and very real acts of violence, overcoming fear to ensure their audiences receive vital information and access to the truth, despite government attempts to muzzle them. In Down a Dark Stairwell, filmmaker Ursula Liang peels back layers of accountability in the police system through a single criminal case, and its destructive impact on the Chinese-American and African-American communities. Coded Bias highlights how one woman's in-depth investigation uncovers the racial and gender biases built into artificial intelligence (AI) technology and its far-reaching ramifications.
Four films reveal wider social realities through the lens of individual experience. In the stunning HBO documentary Welcome to Chechnya, brave Russian activists risk their lives to protect and relocate at-risk members of the closeted LGBT Chechnyan community to safety outside Russia. The beautifully understated film I Am Samuel shares journeys of personal and political pressures, persecution, and pride within a tight-knit group of gay men in Kenya. Sensitive and nuanced, From Here captures four stories of individuals defining what it means to "belong" in societies that are increasingly hostile to their existence. Reunited tells a story of love across borders, and the compromises a family must make when it is torn apart by circumstances beyond its control.
Strong women are the trailblazing force of the global human rights movement. The 8th accompanies the leaders of Ireland's decades-long movement as they organize and raise their voices to end one of the world's most restrictive abortion laws. In Maxima, we meet the remarkable Máxima Acuña, who stares down one of the world's largest mining corporations while defending her farm in Peru. Our Closing Night film Gather celebrates the fruits of the indigenous food sovereignty movement, profiling innovative changemakers in Native American tribes across North America who are reconnecting with their past and their environment as a form of resistance and survival.
About the Films
Aideen Kane, Lucy Kennedy, Maeve O'Boyle, USA/Ireland, 2020, documentary, 94 minutes, English
Live online Q&A with filmmaker and guests on Friday, June 19, 7pm (EDT)
Capturing a crucial moment for women's rights, The 8th tells the incredible story of how the Republic of Ireland overturned one of the world's most restrictive laws on abortion. Led by the fiercely passionate Ailbhe Smyth, Ireland's pro-choice movement must radically shift tactics to carry a traditionally conservative electorate over the line. Their efforts are particularly complex in the context of Ireland's strong religious roots and historical mistreatment of women and children. Essential viewing in an era of global rollbacks on women's bodily autonomy rights, this extraordinary film delivers a lesson in the power of grassroots activism and amplifies the voices of women across ages and backgrounds who refuse to stand down.
"It's actually about more than what you're voting on – while we're voting on reproductive health care, it's also about the value we're giving women in Irish society, saying we do value them and we do trust them." – Andrea Horan, The 8th
Belly of the Beast – Opening Night
Erika Cohn, USA, 2020, documentary, 82 minutes, English
Live online Q&A with filmmaker and guests on Thursday, June 11, 8pm (EDT)
When a courageous young woman and a radical lawyer discover a pattern of illegal involuntary sterilizations in California's women's prison system, they take to the courtroom to wage a near-impossible battle against the Department of Corrections. With a growing team of investigators inside prison working with colleagues on the outside, they uncover a series of statewide crimes – from dangerously inadequate health care to sexual assault to coercive sterilizations – primarily targeting women of color. But no one believes them. This shocking legal battle captured over seven years features extraordinary access and intimate accounts from currently and formerly incarcerated women, demanding our attention for a shameful and ongoing legacy of eugenics and reproductive injustice in the United States.
"I have the power to change lives with the awareness of what happened to me." – Kelli Dillon, Belly of the Beast
Shalini Kantayya, USA/UK/China/South Africa, 2020, documentary, 85 minutes, English
When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that most facial-recognition software misidentifies women and darker-skinned faces, as a woman of color working in a field dominated by white males, she is compelled to investigate further. What she discovers drives her to push the US government to create legislation to counter the far-reaching dangers of bias in a technology that is steadily encroaching on our lives. Centering the voices of women leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected, Coded Bias asks two key questions: What is the impact of artificial intelligence's increasing role in governing our liberties? And what are the consequences for people stuck in the crosshairs due to their race, color, and gender?
"Because of the power of these tools, left unregulated there is no recourse for abuse … we need laws." – Joy Buolamwini, Coded Bias
Official Selection, Sundance Film Festival, 2020
Ursula Liang, USA, 2020, documentary, 83 minutes, English, Cantonese and Mandarin with English subtitles
Live online Q&A with filmmaker and guests on Wednesday, June 17, 8pm (EDT)
When a Chinese-American police officer kills an innocent, unarmed black man in an unlit stairwell of a New York City housing project on November 20, 2014, communities across the city erupt with demands for legal accountability. When he becomes the first New York Police Department officer convicted of an on-duty shooting in over a decade, the fight for justice becomes much more complicated. One of the largest Asian-American protests in history challenges an uneven legal system, while the African-American community is forced to defend its rights again after a series of police killings. Cries for justice amid systemic inequities find disparate notions of fairness called into question.
"Down a Dark Stairwell tells a crucial American story of how divisions among racial minorities ultimately serve white supremacy." – John Raphling, Senior Researcher, US Criminal Justice, Human Rights Watch
Christina Antonakos-Wallace, USA, 2020, documentary, 89 minutes, English, German, Spanish, Punjabi, Romani, Vietnamese with English subtitles
Live online Q&A with filmmaker and guests on Sunday, June 14, 8pm (EDT)
From Here is a hopeful story of Tania, Sonny, Miman, and Akim – artists and activists based in Berlin and New York whose lives and futures hang in the balance of immigration and integration debates. As the US and Germany grapple with racism, nationalism, and a fight against diversity, our protagonists move from their 20s into their 30s and face major turning points in their lives: fighting for citizenship; starting families; and finding room for creative expression. Spanning a decade in two of the world's largest centers of immigration, this sensitive and nuanced documentary captures their struggle to define what it means to "belong" in societies that are increasingly hostile to their existence.
"In the face of nationalism, we need narratives that connect us to our interdependence, challenge our assumptions and open our imagination. The stories in From Here invite viewers to engage with – rather than retreat from – our global reality." – Christina Antonakos-Wallace, director, From Here
Gather — Closing Night
Sanjay Rawall, USA, 2020, documentary, 74 minutes, English
Live online Q&A with filmmaker and guests on Saturday, June 20, 8pm (EDT)
Gather celebrates the fruits of the indigenous food sovereignty movement, profiling innovative changemakers in Native American tribes across North America reclaiming their identities after centuries of physical and cultural genocide. On the Apache reservation, a chef embarks on a ambitious project to reclaim his tribe's ancient ingredients; in South Dakota, a gifted Lakota high school student, raised on a buffalo ranch, is using science to prove her tribe's native wisdom about environmental sustainability; and in Northern California, a group of young men from the Yurok tribe is struggling to rehabilitate its rivers to protect the salmon. Gather beautifully shows how the reclaiming and recovery of ancient foodways provides a form of resistance and survival, collectively bringing back health and self-determination to their people.
"Fighting for water rights and fighting for hunting rights, and maintaining our food ways is our own battle to fight for our human rights." – Nephi Craig, Gather
I Am Samuel
Peter Murimi, Kenya/Canada/UK/USA, 2020, documentary, 69 minutes, Swahili, English, Luhya with English subtitles
Live online Q&A with filmmaker and guests on Sunday, June 14, 3:30pm (EDT)
Samuel grew up on a farm in the Kenyan countryside, where tradition is valued above all else. He moves to Nairobi in search of a new life, where he finds belonging in a community of fellow queer men where he meets and falls in love with Alex. Their love thrives even though Kenyan laws criminalize anyone who identifies as LGBTQ, and together they face threats of violence and rejection. Samuel's father, a preacher at the local church, doesn't understand why his son is not yet married, and Samuel must navigate the very real risk that being truthful to who he is may cost him his family's acceptance. Filmed over five years, I Am Samuel is an intimate portrait of a Kenyan man balancing pressures of family loyalty, love, and safety while questioning the concept of conflicting identities.
"This is a lovely film, very honest, very raw, with characters who are compelling in how real they are." – Neela Ghoshal, Senior Researcher, LGBT Rights, Human Rights Watch
"I can't really be myself. It's like they're seeing just half of who I am." – Alex, I Am Samuel
Claudia Sparrow, USA/Peru, 2019, documentary, 88 minutes, English, Spanish with English subtitles
Live online Q&A with filmmaker and guests on Tuesday, June 16, 8pm (EDT)
Maxima tells the incredible story of 2016 environmental Goldman Prize winner Máxima Acuña and her family, who own a small, remote plot in the Peruvian Highlands. The Acuñas rely solely on the environment for their livelihood, but their land sits directly in the path of a multi-billion-dollar project run by one of the world's largest gold-mining corporations. Faced with intimidation, violence, and criminal prosecution, we follow Máxima's tireless fight for justice, taking her from the Peruvian Supreme Court to the doors of the World Bank in Washington, DC. Standing ever mighty, Máxima sings of her love of the land in the face of widespread oppression of indigenous people and relentless attempts to destroy environmental resources that the world relies on.
"Our dignity has no price." – Máxima Acuña, Maxima
Winner Audience Award for a Feature Film, Hot Docs 2019
Juliana Fanjul, Switzerland/Mexico, 2019, documentary, 79 minutes, Spanish with English subtitles
To millions of people in Mexico, the incorruptible journalist and news anchor Carmen Aristegui is regarded as the trusted alternative voice to official government spin, fighting daily against deliberate disinformation spread through news sources, government corruption, and the related drugs trade. When she is fired by a radio station in 2015 after uncovering a scandal involving then-President Enrique Peña Nieto, Carmen – with her dedicated journalist colleagues – decides to build a separate news platform. Facing threats of violence in the wake of a prominent journalist's vicious murder, they must overcome fear for their personal well-being to continue in a shared fight for democracy and justice.
"Fear must not defeat us. We must not leave room for silence and allow this situation to terrorize journalists." – Carmen Aristegui, Radio Silence
Mira Jargil, Denmark/Sweden, 2020, documentary, 78 minutes, English, Danish, Arabic with English subtitles
Live online Q&A with filmmaker and guests on Saturday, June 20, 3:30pm (EDT)
This is a story of love across borders, and the compromises a family must make when it is torn apart by circumstances beyond its control. When Rana and Muhkles are forced to flee the war in Syria in a desperate search for stable and secure futures for their family, they are separated from their children. Rana is in Denmark, Mukhles is in Canada and their young sons Jad and Nidal, ages 11 and 17, are stuck alone in Turkey. Through small everyday moments captured on video calls and home movies, director Mia Jargil paints an intimate and loving portrait of a family in limbo, navigating frustrating twists and turns at the hands of Kafkaesque bureaucracies, combatting physical distance to retain familial bonds and connection.
"Reunited … shed(s) light on a family's destiny in order to provide the debate with a human perspective and mobilize a common guard against intolerance." – Mia Jargil, Reunited
David France, USA, 2020, documentary, 107 minutes, English, Russian with English subtitles
This searing documentary, directed by acclaimed writer and Oscar®-nominated director David France (How to Survive a Plague, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson), shadows a group of brave activists risking their lives to confront the ongoing anti-LGBTQ campaign in the Russian republic of Chechnya. Employing a guerilla filmmaking style, France takes us inside the fraught, day-to-day workings of an underground pipeline of activists facing incredible risks to rescue victims from this brutal government-directed campaign. Through unfettered access, and with a commitment to protecting anonymity, this documentary exposes these underreported atrocities, while highlighting an extraordinary group of people.
"Welcome to Chechnya stands as a stark reminder of what human beings are capable of doing and why we need human rights protections. It is also a tribute to the courage of strangers."
– Graeme Reid, Director, LGBT Rights Program, Human Rights Watch

Joel Embiid Beat Karl-Anthony Towns in 'Part II: The Reckoning'
The Process got the better of KAT in Philly's last-second win over Minnesota. Plus: Boogie shines in Denver and JaVale ethers Shaq.
By Micah Peters Jan 4, 2017, 10:12am EST
Share All sharing options for: Joel Embiid Beat Karl-Anthony Towns in 'Part II: The Reckoning'
Welcome to King of the Court, our daily celebration of the best performances in basketball from the night that was. We'll be keeping track of the best player of every night of the NBA season, and tallying the results as we go along.
King of the Court: Joel Embiid
As with any sequel, before we wade into Joel Embiid vs. Karl-Anthony Towns Part II: The Reckoning we need to first revisit Part I: First Blood. Back in November, Embiid was still easing into things and coming off a night of precautionary rest to face the other Saving Grace of Big, Bad Bigs, and had one of his least promising outings in a Sixers jersey to that point. Embiid managed a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double that looked less unsightly on paper than it did to the eye. Embiid wasn't alone in his mediocrity — offensively and defensively, pretty much every Philadelphia player not on the ball was a bystander, and the game was all but over by halftime. The Timberwolves won by 24, and in the final frame, Towns — who finished with 25 on 12-of-18 shooting that night — left Embiid grasping at air on the perimeter, then sacrificed Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot in the paint. It wasn't pretty.
Since then, Embiid has just about single-handedly vindicated Sam Hinkie's three or so frustrating years of trafficking in factory-variant D-League players. The Cameroonian has proved to be most of, if not all of, what he was supposed to be. Embiid still relies heavily on his athleticism and his footwork tracks like a stallion on roller skates, but he's had a leg up on the more polished, complete Towns in the places (STATISTICALLY) that matter. Per 36 minutes, according to Basketball-Reference, Embiid has more points (27.6 to 22.0), blocks (3.4 to 1.4), and steals (1.1 to 0.6), plus he gets to the line more often (10.1 free throw attempts to Towns's 4.9).
And during Tuesday night's Part II, in which the Sixers ground out a last-second 93–91 win, Towns posted an impressive stat line — 23 points and 15 rebounds — but Embiid played like he hadn't forgotten about getting shifted out of his size 17s on the business end of that back-to-back in November. Embiid finished with 25 points, five offensive rebounds (and eight total), and two blocks, one of which might guarantee Shabazz Muhammad never feels safe going backdoor on anyone ever again.
Embiid also head-faked Zach LaVine into the rafters (!), drove and kicked to Nerlens Noel (!!), who wrapped the ball back around to … you know what, just look at it. It's almost like it didn't matter that two of Philadelphia's best guards were out with injuries.
On the final play of the game — a Robert Covington buzzer-beater that came after he'd shot a ghastly 3-for-13 and earned boos most of the night — it was Embiid drawing a double from Towns and Andrew Wiggins that freed Covington up.
In 2017, resolve to find someone who loves and supports you like Joel Embiid loves and supports Robert Covington.
Runner-up: DeMarcus Cousins
There's probably something to be said about Nuggets head coach Mike Malone facing off against the franchise that defenestrated him — but that was two whole years ago and Nikola Jokic is happening.
Jokic had 18 points and Jusuf Nurkic added 16, but Cousins, who is out here a shade under 7 feet and Eurostepping around people at full speed, proved too much for the two to keep a lid on. Malone's plan seemed to revolve around leaning on Cousins to pester him out of his game but — well, imagine trying to bar a door from the inside by propping a chair up against it, only to realize the door actually opens from the outside. That's more or less how it played out.
Cousins had 31 points in Sacramento's 120–113 win, and is still awesome.
Honorable Mention: JaVale McGee
JaVale McGee got a haircut that I can only respect because I could personally never, but Shaq decided McGee needed to be immortalized on the next segment of "Shaqtin'." Ordinarily, Shaq would tack on a "#Shaqtin," the segment would air on TNT, and that'd probably be the end of it. But McGee brought the fucking sword of Damocles down on the retiree-slash-pundit.
According to section B, article 37 of the Folgers Roast coda, Shaq, as a rule, has to leave Inside the NBA, and with the newly ratified Vienna Light French corollary, the country. But he should probably leave the whole entire planet, just to be safe.

Kaduna Govt Shuts Down Churches, Missionary Schools and Hospital
by Newsweb · Published September 16, 2015 · Updated September 16, 2015
By ALEX UANGBAOJE
Kaduna State government has ordered the closure of some churches, missionary schools and hospital at Saminaka, Lere local Government Area in the Northern Zone of the state.
Churches and schools affected are; Assemblies of God Church, Nmbare, Saminaka, Assemblies of God Church (Jerusalem) Saminaka, Theological Seminary of Northern Nigeria, (TSNN) Saminaka.
Others are Shalom Comprehensive College, Saminaka and
Assemblies of God Church Evangelist Hospital, Saminaka
This was contained in a statement signed by Samuel Aruwan, Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the State governor, malam Nasir El-Rufai.
According to him, the statement is part of resolution reached at the state Security Council meeting, held on 15th September, 2015, over the leadership crisis rocking the Assemblies of God Church in AGC Saminaka.
"The council discussed this matter in the context of preventing threats to the peace and stability of the State.
"The Council noted that the leadership crisis has led to disintegration of order in the church, and raised tensions between the followers of the rival camps. The crisis has also widened to the students of the church-owned school and seminary, who are now split and divided on factional lines.
"The Council reviewed previous efforts made to resolve the crisis. It noted that these were aborted by those involved in the leadership tussle, principally to preserve their personal interests with little concern for the common good, and the peace and security of Kaduna State.
"The Council unanimously agreed that if left unchecked, the growing tension may degenerate into total breakdown of law and order in the said area, with the potential to spread to other parts of the state.
"Therefore, the Council has taken steps to preserve the peace. It has unanimously directed the immediate closure" Aruwan said.
He Added, "Kaduna State Government wishes to reiterate that it will not tolerate the use of religion and ethnicity to cause crisis in the state. The government has also announced that it will prosecute anyone, no matter his or her standing, that is implicated in fomenting crisis in whatever form in the State.
"As a result of these measures, those who may be affected will be admitted into government schools or hospitals, if they exercise the option.
"The Council also directed that the status quo with regard to farmlands, houses and other assets of the church be upheld pending resolution of the leadership crisis, which is a matter before the Supreme Court.

Fri., April 15, 2005
Actor Sean Connery will voice James Bond in Electronic Arts' new 007 title. (Associated Press / The Spokesman-Review)
Ryan Huschka Knight Ridder
Imagine a store packed with nothing but Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong and Pokemon wares. Sounds like heaven, yes?
Very soon it will be a reality. Nintendo announced last week that it's building a two-story megastore in New York's Rockefeller Center with just the game maker's products and licensed goods.
Called Nintendo World, the retail store will give shoppers a chance to test-drive the latest games and consoles. The shop also will be the new home of the Pokemon Center, the Big N's first retail shop venture.
Nintendo World is scheduled to open later this spring. For updates, visit www.nintendoworldstore.com.
Connery will be Bond again
Sean Connery is venturing back into the world of James Bond.
The 74-year-old actor is set to reprise his role as agent 007 in Electronic Arts' upcoming "From Russia with Love."
Game Informer magazine first broke the news earlier this month that Sir Sean will record new dialogue for the espionage-filled shooter, though the video will feature his likeness from the 1963 film.
"As an artist, I see this as another way to explore the creative process," Connery told the Hollywood Reporter.
New 'Sims' offers a nightclub
It's been a busy week at EA. In addition to announcing the new "Burnout" title, they also pulled the wraps off another expansion pack for the hit PC life simulator "The Sims 2."
"The Sims 2 Nightlife" brings all-new dating gameplay. You can make your own fantasy nightclub with more than 100 new objects, including a DJ booth, poker table and more accessories.
"Players will be able to take their Sims out of the suburbs and into the night while dating, hanging out on the town and staying up till dawn," said Tim LeTourneau, the game's senior producer.
"Nightlife" will have Sims rocking up their lives come September.

If you take a walk through your local Chinatown during a certain time of year, everything probably looks extra gilded in red and gold. The Lunar New Year, which falls between late January and mid February, is celebrated differently around the world, but within Chinese culture, part of the festivities includes putting up paper decorations on your door and around your home. Many popular designs include the character, 囍. It's meaningless on its own, but composed of the repeated character 喜 (xĭ in Mandarin; héi in Cantonese) — literally, "double happiness." The contours of its figure are reminiscent of 88, a number that's haunted me throughout my life. Reverence of "88" points directly back to one system of numerology, the overarching practice of according meaning and significance through the interpretation and manipulation of numbers.

Bill Gates is 'very optimistic' about the future: 'Better to be born 20 years from now…than any time in the past'
Bill Gates spends a lot of his time sounding the alarm over existential global threats, like climate change and future pandemics.
Yet the billionaire Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist says he's still "very optimistic" about humanity's future on Earth. Even with challenges facing current and future generations, Gates says anyone born in the next few decades will be better off than people born at any previous point in history.
"I'm still very optimistic that it'd be much better to be born 20 years from now, 40 years from now, 60 years from now than any time in the past," Gates said Monday in an interview at the Lowy Institute, a think tank in Sydney, Australia.
The world is full of disheartening trends, Gates noted — like an inadequate global response to the Covid-19 pandemic, governments' failures to meet stated goals for tackling climate change and increased political polarization in the U.S.
In October, a Gallup poll found that only 42% of Americans believe today's youth will have "a better living standard" than their parents. That number is 18 percentage points lower than in 2019 and tied for the lowest level of optimism in roughly three decades based on similar polls in the past, according to Gallup.
But pessimists miss the full picture, Gates said: "It's easy to get a more negative view of some of these trends than is really fair, in my view."
Gates pointed to advances in public health, noting that global mortality rates for children under the age of five have been cut in half over the past two decades.
"The amount of innovation that is [for] the improvement overall in the human condition is still going to be dramatic. We will cure obesity, we will cure cancer, we will eradicate polio," Gates said.
Gates has also praised the potential for cheap and effective green energy technology in recent years, and technological advances enabling education and health workers to have greater reach across the world.
"The amount of IQ in the world that's being educated, the quality of the tools we have to drive forward our innovation, whether it's in health or energy or education, those are fantastic things," Gates said Monday.
Looking further back into history, it's clear that things are only continuing to get better, he added.
"Zoom out and say 'OK, where were we 300 years ago?'" Gates asked, noting that the average lifespan for human beings has vastly improved over the past three centuries. In 1700, the average person died before reaching age 40. Today's life expectancy in the U.S. is 76.1 years.
"It didn't matter if you were a king or a pauper, you were subject to huge infant mortality and extremely low levels of literacy," Gates said. "So, the scope of human innovation over time … is a phenomenal story."
Gates' comments echo a similar sentiment expressed last year by fellow billionaire Charlie Munger, who lamented what he saw as people being less happy today than they were in more difficult times.
"Everybody's five times better off than they used to be," Munger argued.
Innovation isn't guaranteed to have positive outcomes, Gates noted: Technological and scientific evolution can result in dangerous advances, like nuclear weapons or bioterrorism.
"Modernity comes with some risks, as well," he said. "But, overall, I'm incredibly optimistic."

Man accuses downtown Raleigh bar of racial discrimination
Posted June 21, 2012 11:33 p.m. EDT
Updated June 21, 2012 11:43 p.m. EDT
Raleigh, N.C. — A 21-year-old man who has sparked a social media firestorm with his allegations of racism at a downtown Raleigh bar will speak publicly for the first time Friday afternoon.
A press conference is scheduled for noon Friday at the State Capitol.
Jonathan Wall, a graduate assistant at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says he was kicked out of the Downtown Sports Bar and Grill last weekend because he's black. He and his attorney are organizing the press event.
Wall has received an outpouring of support after his story appeared on a colleague's blog. The blog quickly prompted social media and email campaigns. WRAL News received hundreds of emails and Facebook posts commenting on Wall's experience.
Some people have come forward saying they, too, have been discriminated against at the Glenwood Avenue sports bar.
An attorney for the bar, however, said the allegations are false. William Potter said the bar does not racially discriminate and that his clients take accusations of racial discrimination very seriously.
Last Saturday, Wall said he went to the bar with a friend, but they were initially told they couldn't come in because the bar required a membership. Once inside, Wall said he was quickly confronted by the bar's general manager, who said he had to "buy a drink or leave."
When he explained that he was just waiting for his friend to use the restroom, Wall said the manager physically restrained him and forcefully kicked him out.
Wall said there were no other black patrons in the bar.
Potter denied all the allegations except for the doorman's initial encounter with Wall.
"It appears that the complaint started with the fact that (Wall) did not have a membership, and this bar does require membership," he said. "It's a part of their liquor license with the ABC Commission."
Wall's supporters plan to protest outside the bar Saturday night.

The concept of social distance belongs to a sociological tradition starting back from Simmel, who identified the generative factors for specific society forms just in the distancing processes. In North-American sociology, the Chicago tradition and, specifically, the work of Bogardus, represent an important conceptual premise, but, moreover, the first methodological reference. Starting from the work of Bogardus, during XIX century, various measures of social distance have been elaborated, tested and used in social research. This article describes the operationalization process for the concept of social distance in an Italian research and the construction of a perceived social distance scale (pSD). The process of scale development is described.
KEYWORDS: social distance, social space, attitude measurement.

Middle infrared hyperspectral imaging of adhesives, varnishes and inks on Al plate and papers by using a bolometer camera and an imaging type interferometer
Author(s): Shigeru Sugawara; Mitsuhiro Yoshida; Tsubasa Saito; Yoshihiko Nakayama; Yasuyuki Tsutsui; Hideya Taniguchi; Ichiro Ishimaru
We built a hyperspectral imaging apparatus using middle-infrared light of 8–14 μm, which has a strong ability to identify organic materials, and attempted visualization of the distribution of organic materials that could not be identified by a naked eye. For this purpose, we utilized a low-cost bolometer camera (Nippon Avionics co., ltd. C100V, Japan) for its easy availability rather than an expensive mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) array sensor. To compensate for the low sensitivity of this bolometer, we adopted a Fourier-type spectroscopic system (Aoi Electronics co. ltd., Japan) using an imaging interferometer devised by the Kagawa University, Japan; this interferometer has higher light-utilization efficiency than Michelson interferometers, which are used in popular interferometry techniques.
In this study, 4 types of adhesives, 9 types of varnishes and more than 50 types of inks were put on Al plates of size 10 cm × 10 cm and were used as samples. Glossy paper for printing photos with an inkjet printer was also used as a sample. A 300 °C black body of size 15 cm × 15 cm was used as a light source. Spectra of 320 × 240 points were measured at a wavelength resolution of approximately 9 cm−1. The mirror was scanned only once. The measurement time was approximately 30 s.
Hyperspectral images of adhesives, varnishes and inks on Al plate and paper were successfully measured. Spectra over a 5 × 5-pixel neighborhoods were averaged, and the averaged spectra were compared with those measured by a commercially available Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The averaged and measured spectra had absorption peaks at the same wavelengths. Furthermore, by analyzing the measured spectra, the distribution of substances invisible to the naked eye was visualized. Our results show that if low-absorbance organic materials are put on a high-reflectance surface such as an Al plate, the middle-infrared hyperspectral imaging could be measured using a bolometer. Additionally, hyperspectral imaging of high-reflectance paper, such as glossy paper, could also be measured. Because a bolometer camera is much cheaper than an MCT array, hyperspectral imaging with such a camera has many potential applications. Moreover, an imaging interferometer, with its high efficiency of light utilization, is very suitable for the purpose.
