Post-Election Employment Landscape - What to expect
Author: Andrea Twaddle
On Saturday 17 October 2020, Labour was given a clear mandate to govern arising from New Zealand's general election. In its second term, the party's policies are likely to result in changes to our employment laws. This article summarises what to expect from a Labour led Government.
Labour's proposals for employment law
Labour has proposed the following changes:
A support package to assist businesses in hiring at least 40,000 New Zealanders whose employment has been impacted by COVID-19, including extending the flexi-wage scheme to help employers hire people on a benefit at risk of long-term unemployment;
Make apprenticeships and trades training in targeted areas free, giving primary sector employers a new stream of workers to up-skill and employ;
Increase the minimum wage to $20 an hour by 2021;
Extend the living wage to all contractors working in the public service, for example cleaners, caterers and security guards;
Simplify the Holidays Act including:
allowing employees to be allowed to take sick and annual leave when needed with their leave accruing over time instead of becoming available as a block when they reach 12 months employment; and
increasing minimum sick leave entitlements from five days to ten days a year;
introducing a new public holiday, making Matariki a public holiday from 2022;
Improve pay equity information by improving transparency for women through better records of pay equity across the country;
Implement Fair Pay Agreements by passing legislation to set the minimum content that must be included in Fair Pay Agreements, and implementing these laws within competitive industries;
Improving the statutory regime to protect dependent contractors to ensure that they have fair wage and employment conditions;
Reinstate the right for workers in small businesses to elect health and safety representatives.
Potential coalition partners
If Labour elects to govern with the Greens, it is worth considering the Green Party of Aotearoa's policies. These targeted a number of changes to New Zealand's employment law, focused on minimum entitlements. Notably, the Greens proposed to:
Increase the minimum wage annually in line with the median wage;
Increase annual leave to five weeks per year;
Provide ten days of paid sick leave per year;
Remove the youth minimum wage;
Increase paid parental leave to 13 months, paid at 100% the average male wage;
Introduce redundancy compensation at a minimum of four weeks' wages for the first year of employment and two weeks' wages for each subsequent year;
Give fixed term labour hire employees the same wages and conditions as permanent employees;
Create a new public holiday between Queen's Birthday weekend and Labour weekend;
Restore the right to solidarity and political strikes;
Require employers to audit and report their gender pay gaps and increase support for pay transparency and pay equity claims;
Require the state sector to pay a living wage.
In the event Labour looked to the Maori Party, it is worth noting that the Party proposed to increase the minimum wage to $25 an hour, increasing annually to match the cost of living, and provide independent contractors with the right to bargain for collective and multi-employer collective employment agreements.
With increases to minimum entitlements, improving accessibility for equal pay claims, and taking steps towards ensure that core public service employees will receive a living wage, the likely direction of a new government will be the continuation of Labour's employee-centric approach.
Our experienced employment law team will continue to ensure that businesses and individuals are aware of any changes, and can ensure that businesses have best practice policies in place to address any potential changes.

Q: If I use a separate thread for logging, will it perform better? If I implement a log class or library in a way that the methods (info, warn, debug ...), when called where executed in a separate thread, would my code run faster?
If yes, does slf4j, log4j or any other popular libraries do this?

A: Log4j uses separate thread depending on Appender type. In most cases FileAppender is used, and it does not involve additional threads.
And I don't recommend you to use logging in separate thread unless you're really experienced in threading issues.

A Tribe Called Quest war eine US-amerikanische Hip-Hop-Band, welche den Genres Alternative Hip-Hop und Jazz-Rap zugerechnet wird. Die Band wurde 1985 gegründet, 1998 aufgelöst und war von 2006 bis 2017 sporadisch wieder aktiv. Die Mitglieder der Gruppe waren die MCs Q-Tip, Phife Dawg († 2016) und Jarobi White sowie der DJ und Produzent Ali Shaheed Muhammad. 2013 ging die Band vorerst auseinander. Im November 2016 ist das sechste und letzte Album der Band erschienen. Nach einer Abschiedstournee löste sich A Tribe Called Quest im September 2017 auf.

A Tribe Called Quest galt durch die teils philosophischen, teils sozialkritischen Texte sowie durch die häufig aus Jazz-Samples (Jazz-Rap) arrangierten Stücke als eine der von Fans des Eastcoastsounds bevorzugten Hip-Hop-Gruppen.

Geschichte

Q-Tip und Phife wuchsen in Queens, New York City, auf und lernten sich in jungen Jahren in der Kirche kennen. Ihre gemeinsame Herkunft thematisieren A Tribe Called Quest unter anderem in dem Song Check the Rhime auf ihrem zweiten Album The Low End Theory. Später lernten Q-Tip und Phife in der High School Ali Shaheed Muhammad kennen. Auf dieselbe Schule gingen auch die Jungle Brothers, eine Hip-Hop-Band, die gleichfalls später zur Native Tongue Family gehörte. Durch ein Bandmitglied der Jungle Brothers wurden sie mit DJ Red Alert bekannt, der ihnen zum Durchbruch helfen sollte. Die Jungle Brothers waren es auch, die den Namen A Tribe Called Quest geprägt haben, nachdem die Band sich zuvor lediglich als Quest bezeichnete. Die Native Tongues gehörten der Afrocentricity-Bewegung an und verbreiteten deren Gedanken, dass sich jeder Afroamerikaner seines Erbes besinnen soll.

Im August 1989 erschien die erste Single Description of a Fool auf einem kleinen Musik-Label. Zuvor hatte Q-Tip auf einigen Tracks von De La Souls LP 3 Feet High and Rising und auf Deee-Lites Groove Is In The Heart mitgewirkt.

1989 gingen A Tribe Called Quest zu Jive Records und veröffentlichten im gleichen Jahr ihr erstes Album People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. 1990 landeten sie einen Hit mit dem Song Bonita Applebum. Auf The Low End Theory bekamen sie Unterstützung von Bassist Ron Carter, der schon mit Miles Davis und John Coltrane gespielt hatte. 2003 schloss sich A Tribe Called Quest für kurze Zeit wieder zusammen, dabei entstand die Single ICU (Doin' It) mit Erykah Badu.

Erst 2006 erfolgte eine dauerhafte Wiedervereinigung und A Tribe Called Quest gab in den kommenden Jahren wieder unregelmäßig Konzerte.
Im Jahr 2011 wurde der Dokumentarfilm Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest veröffentlicht, der die Geschichte der Band von der Gründung bis zur Reunion-Tour im Jahr 2008 zeigt. Regie führte der Schauspieler Michael Rapaport.

Im November 2016 wurde das Album We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service veröffentlicht. Phife Dawg verstarb kurz vor der Fertigstellung des Albums an einer Diabeteserkrankung.

Eine Kollaboration und ein Biopic mit dem Atlanta Hip Hop-Duo Outkast waren geplant, enthüllte Mitglied Big Boi im Interview mit Hot 97. Dies kam auf Grund des Todes von Phife Dawg nicht zu Stande.

Nach dem Auftritt beim englischen Festival Bestival in Dorset löste sich die Gruppe am 9. September 2017 auf.

Don't let Trump disconnect the poor.
The Lifeline program helps people living below the poverty line stay connected to phone and internet. The Federal Communications Commission wants to destroy Lifeline — but we're here to fight back.
You'll hear from Lifeline recipients and advocates about why this program matters and what you can do to fight back against the FCC's plan to dismantle it.
Lifeline is a federal program that was created during the Reagan administration to subsidize telephone connections for low-income people in the United States. Following Hurricane Katrina, George W. Bush's FCC expanded Lifeline to cover mobile phone service. In 2016, the Obama FCC modernized Lifeline for the digital age, recognizing that people need broadband to meet basic needs and participate in our society.
Lifeline is the only comprehensive and effective federal program to bridge the home internet-affordability gap. Studies show that poor people and people of color are far less likely to be connected to the internet than wealthy people and White folks, and that the steep cost of service is a major reason for the digital divide. Our communities need the internet to learn, find jobs, communicate with loved ones, and access health care and other vital services.
Why is Lifeline under attack?
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has put forward several proposals to decimate Lifeline, including plans to cut off over 70 percent of Lifeline connections, decrease service options across the country, place an arbitrary budget cap on the program and establish a lifetime-benefits limit.
No one is asking for these changes. Taxes don't pay for Lifeline, and claims of waste and abuse are overblown and based on stale data. The bottom line is that the FCC's plan to cut Lifeline is cruel, heartless and designed solely to punish the poor.
Takouie Daglian speaking about how the Lifeline program enables her to stay in touch with her children and her doctor.
Together we can save Lifeline.
More than 300 organizations oppose the FCC's proposal to dismantle Lifeline. We represent every part of the social and political spectrum, yet we're united in our opposition to this cruel and heartless plan.

This week, Google went back to basics in its bi-weekly Elevenses stream, covering three important components that make great ad groups.
This week, Google went back to basics in its bi-weekly Elevenses stream, with advice on how to structure and optimise ad groups.
The video focused on how to build a solid foundation for ad groups by breaking things down into three component parts: create, complement, and capture.
I'd previously set ads to 'Rotate Evenly' so I could determine the winner, but after a few weeks of some ads being shown way more than others, I contacted an AdWords rep who told me that the setting is basically a load of old cobblers – gah.
The second component, complement, was slightly more in-depth. This was all about how to increase maximum real estate through the use of ad extensions – specifically sitelinks, callout extensions, structured snippets, price extensions, and review extensions.
The general message was the more the merrier, as Google will pick and choose the most relevant extensions for a query based on things like device and location as well as the search term itself. Variety, accuracy, and relevancy are also important factors to consider, particularly when it comes to structured snippets, which may be disapproved if they are not in the right category, or do not add value.
More information on the types of ad extensions available can be found here.
While I'd agree that both of these points would indeed help to drive traffic, I feel it is more important to first focus on optimising campaigns by adjusting bids according to time of day/day of week, and device, as well as reviewing past performance before making any significant budget increases, or adding Dynamic Search Ads. Widening the net does not guarantee good results.
All in all, the advice provided by Google was relatively sound, but I felt there needed to be more emphasis on testing and analysis, rather than simply setting up an ad group with all the bells and whistles and throwing a load of money at it.

Museums » Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art
Shangri La, Oahu
The Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art (Shangri La), the artistic Honolulu home of philanthropist Doris Duke, is a spectacular montage of Islamic artistic and architectural legacy. Against the backdrop of the breathtaking Pacific Ocean, Shangri La serves as a significant hub for studying, preserving and appreciating Islamic culture and art.
The seed for this unique museum was sown in 1935 when Doris Duke was enamored by the beauty of Hawaii and decided to build a holiday habitat in Honolulu. The American philanthropist who made a trip to several Muslim nations on her honeymoon then decided to merge the artistic genius of Islamic culture with the natural splendor of Hawaii. The result was a fiercely private and sung architectural masterpiece designed by collaborating with famed architect Marion Sims Wyeth.
The structure was primarily constructed as an artistic haven to support Doris Duke's unflinching quest for aesthetic expression and preservation. Shangri La subsequently acquired an individualist character silhouetted by Islamic artistic sensibilities flourishing in a serene environment. Doris Duke's consistent endeavor to source rare artifacts from Islamic regions continued till her demise in the early 1990s, and today her brainchild houses about 3,500 pieces of objet d'art. The meticulously organized artistic estate features everything from elaborate mosaic tiles and vibrant textiles to elegantly carved doors and intricately designed ceilings.
Encircled by dramatic views of Diamond Head, the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art displays an assortment of art and architecture that has made its way to Honolulu from Turkey, Morocco, Iran and other Islamic artistic hotbeds. The sprawling artistic edifice overlooks a picturesque landscape comprising lush gardens, fountains and the ocean.
Visitors can explore the museum's Mughal garden, the quaint courtyard and Mihrab library along with the grand living room, dining room and Turkish rooms. There are several other corners brimming with art pieces dating back to the 18th century.
The museum hosts regular cultural programs and guided small group tours (by reservation only) to orient visitors to the main art house along with a section of the ground and adjoining garden. There are special events (organized through the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art grant) that feature discussions, lectures, exhibitions and documentaries on the finer nuances of Islamic art.
Since the house is constructed on multiple levels, visitors should be ready for a climb up several stairs. Wheelchair tours are only made available by special arrangement.
Tours start Wednesday through Saturday at 9 am, 10:30 am and 1:30 pm. Prior reservation is required.
General Admission: $25
Kama'aina (Hawaii residents): $20 (ID required)
Children under the age of 8 are not permitted on the tour.
There are no discounts on admission for senior citizens, students, military and members of the Honolulu Museum of Art.
The price includes admission to the Honolulu Museum of Art.
To book a tour, call (808) 532-3853.
Important note: All Shangri La tours originate at the Honolulu Museum of Art (see map below). Visitors first tour the Arts of the Islamic World Gallery at the Honolulu Museum of Art and then watch a ten-minute introductory video on the history of Shangri La. Visitors are then transported in small groups by shuttle bus to Shangri La for a tour which lasts about 1.5 hours. The entire tour experience lasts about 2.5 hours. Visitors who go directly to Shangri La on their own will not be permitted on the property.

There is nowhere in such proximity to Europe that so profoundly opens a window onto another world. The mountain town of Chefchaouen, Morocco, just two hours drive from the straits of Gibraltar is that place – a perfect window of North Africa -living vibrant proof that even a long stones throw from the homogenized western world an ancient and exotic magic abides.
Leave your car or taxi outside the city walls and enter the lime washed blue medina on foot via the gateway called Bab Souk. Three minutes walk past spices, Argan oils and cosmetics, baskets, fruit and sweet stalls and you arrive at Dar Gabriel. Superficially you might be on a film set, but Chaouen goes much deeper. Give it time and it will open your heart and move your soul.
Explore the labyrinthine medina, the cupboard stalls of its artisans looming rugs and blankets, wood working cedar into furniture. Take mint tea in the central square of Chaouen – nowhere combines grandeur and intimacy quite like the Place Ouda el Hammam – a long row of verandah covered cafes facing a fortified Kasbah and a pristine Mosque across a plaza of stone mosaic.
Chefchaouen is home to a unique Berber culture. It's people are welcoming.


"There is a potential link but of course we need to be certain," a World Food Programme spokesman told the BBC.
"We won't know until the government and WFP's laboratory tests locate where people are getting sick from," he said.
The people taken in for treatment complained of vomiting, fever and other symptoms consistent with food poisoning, the BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga says.
The WFP said that some people also had symptoms of "mental confusion".
Super cereal is usually given to pregnant or nursing women at risk of malnutrition, but has been included in general rations across the country for malnourished Ugandans and refugees, WFP spokesman Peter Smerdon told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.
Uganda hosts some 1.1 million refugees - more than any other African nation. Many are women and children who have fled across the border from South Sudan.
Previous conflicts there, along with drought and extreme poverty have left some communities reliant on food aid, says the BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in the capital, Kampala.

Noticias Univision, es una división estadounidense de noticias de Univision, una cadena de televisión propiedad de la división del Grupo Univision Communications. La división de noticias tiene su base en las instalaciones de la red, conocida como la «NewsPort», en el Miami barrio de Doral, Florida, que comparte con la hermana señal de noticias en inglés, Fusion y Univision en Español, estación emblemática de propiedad y operación WLTV-DT.

El programa insignia de la división es el Noticiero Univisión, compuesto por dos noticieros nocturnos (que se transmiten a primera y última hora de la noche) que se centran en noticias e historias internacionales de relevancia para el principal grupo demográfico objetivo de la cadena, los hispanoamericanos. Otros programas producidos por la división de noticias incluyen el programa matutino de entrevistas, noticias y entretenimiento ¡Despierta América!, la serie de revistas Primer Impacto, Aquí y Ahora y el programa de asuntos políticos de los domingos por la mañana Al Punto con Jorge Ramos.

Noticias Univisión mantiene oficinas ubicadas en muchas de las estaciones de televisión de la cadena en los Estados Unidos (particularmente aquellas que son propiedad de la subsidiaria matriz Univision Television Group, que sirven como estaciones de propiedad y operación de la cadena) y en toda América Latina. Noticiero Univisión también tiene acuerdos de intercambio de noticias con muchas de las redes terrestres nacionales en esos mismos países y a menudo, publicará sus imágenes y reportajes con crédito. Noticias Univisión utiliza contenido de la emisora con sede en México (y el principal socio de contenido de Univision) Televisa, Venevisión con sede en Venezuela, RCN TV con sede en Colombia, América Televisión, con sede en Perú y CNN en Español a nivel regional.

Al final del noticiero, el lema de la división es «Para estar al tanto del acontecer mundial, los hispanos sintonizan Noticias Univisión».

Historia
Los noticieros nacionales comenzaron en KMEX-DT y WLTV-DT en 1981 cuando la cadena se conocía como Spanish International Network (SIN), y antes del cambio de nombre de la cadena en 1987 se conocía como Noticiero Nacional SIN. En 1987, el propietario de Televisa Emilio Azcárraga Milmo, quien también supervisaba SIN (entonces una subsidiaria de la empresa con sede en la Ciudad de México), nombró al ex presentador de noticias de Televisa, Jacobo Zabludovsky como director de la división de noticias de SIN; la medida se encontró con protestas entre el personal de la división de noticias, preocupado por el alcance de la autonomía del departamento de noticias del SIN y la posible censura en sus prácticas periodísticas (específicamente, la información sobre el régimen de Fidel Castro en Cuba, que si bien se reconoció en México, no tuvo aspectos que llevaron a la migración de cubanos a los Estados Unidos), y la mayoría de los miembros del personal de noticias optaron por renunciar.

Después de Azcárraga y Emilio Nicolás, Sr. posteriormente vendió sus participaciones en Spanish International Communications, matriz de SIN, a Hallmark Cards después de que la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones (FCC) y el Departamento de Justicia de EE. UU. Les pidieran que vendieran la red a una empresa con sede en EE. UU. En medio de consultas sobre Si Nicolás estaba siendo utilizado por la familia Azcárraga para eludir las reglas de la FCC que prohíben la propiedad extranjera de los medios de transmisión en 1987 recientemente renombrado, nombró a Roberto FE Soto, un ex productor de NBC News, para producir un noticiero nocturno insignia renovado, Noticiero Univisión, convirtiéndose este último en el ejecutivo más joven de la cadena; la red también reasignó a Jorge Ramos entonces el presentador del primer intento de la cadena en un programa matutino , el Mundo Latino de dos horas de duración y contrató a la veterana periodista María Elena Salinas (la última de las cuales reemplazó a Teresa Rodríguez como presentadora) para copresentar el noticiero de la cadena en evolución.

Finalmente Univisión decidió expandir su programación de noticias a las tardes; en 1992, la cadena debutó Noticias y Más, conducida por Jackie Nespral , Ambrosio Hernandez y Raúl Peimbert; Myrka Dellanos se unió al programa después de la partida de Nespral ese mismo año. Hernández y Peimbert dejaron a Univisión en 1993 para unirse a Telemundo, mientras Nespral se convirtió en co-anfitrión de la edición de fin de semana Today de la NBC. Univisión tenía otros planes para el espectáculo moribundo: la red renovó su formato, cambió su nombre y su tema musical, y contrató a Puerto Rico María Celeste Arrarás como reportero de fin de semana para servir como socio de Dellanos; la nueva serie de revistas de noticias se convirtió en Primer Impacto en febrero de 1994.

Luego, el 14 de abril de 1997, Univision reemplazó las reposiciones de programas para niños producidos por Televisa (como Plaza Sésamo (la versión en español de Barrio Sésamo) y volvió a entrar en el ámbito de las noticias matutinas por primera vez en ocho años con el estreno de ¡Despierta América!. El mantenimiento de un formato similar al de sus homólogos del idioma inglés, que fue diseñado para competir con (y se basa libremente en el formato de) Hoy en día en Telemundo, Good Morning America de la ABC y CBS This Morning, con un enfoque en el segmento demográfico hispano y latino de la red. El programa se convirtió rápidamente en un competidor importante, aumentando la audiencia de Univision en su período matutino en más del 46% en abril de 1998, y desarrolló un estilo único en sus informes de varios tipos de noticias (incluyendo salud, estilo de vida, moda, belleza y noticias de entretenimiento, la última de las cuales se presentó como parte de un segmento llamado «échate pa 'acá» («Ven aquí») con un enfoque en los actores y músicos latinos populares).

En 1998, Univisión estrenó una revista de noticias de investigación en horario de máxima audiencia Aquí y Ahora, que se centra en artículos de investigación en profundidad y entrevistas con creadores de noticias. De 2000 a 2010, Univisión fue la única cadena de transmisión estadounidense importante que aumentó su audiencia de noticias, mientras que sus contrapartes en inglés en ABC, NBC y CBS perdieron la mitad de su audiencia total. A principios de la década de 2000, a medida que la cadena expandía su alcance nacional mediante la contratación de nuevos afiliados por aire, los programas de noticias de Univision habían crecido para superar regularmente a sus competidores en español, con la edición de la tarde de Noticiero Univision a menudo colocándose por delante de sus rivales en inglés (NBC Nightly News, ABC World News Tonight y CBS Evening News) entre los televidentes en el grupo demográfico de 18 a 49 años. El 9 de septiembre de 2007, la cadena estrenó el primer programa de entrevistas de los domingos por la mañana en la televisión en español estadounidense, Al Punto, un programa moderado por Jorge Ramos que presenta discusiones sobre temas políticos y socioeconómicos pertinentes a los hispanos estadounidenses.

El 9 de diciembre de 2010, Univisión anunció que había contratado a Isaac Lee como presidente de su división de noticias; Sus funciones se ampliaron el 4 de octubre de 2013, cuando fue nombrado director ejecutivo de su nuevo canal de noticias por cable Fusion, y más adelante en febrero de 2015, cuando se convirtió en presidente de las operaciones de medios digitales de Univisión a través de una reorganización de esa división.

En marzo de 2011, la red organizó su primera reunión presidencial en el ayuntamiento; el especial televisado, que fue visto por más de 2.7 millones de espectadores y contó con el presentador Jorge Ramos y el presidente Barack Obama, se centró en el futuro de la educación en los Estados Unidos. Noticias Univisión produciría más tarde dos debates en el ayuntamiento entre el presidente presidencial Obama y el retador republicano Mitt Romney el año siguiente en el período previo a las elecciones presidenciales de 2012.

También en 2011, Noticias Univisión formó dos nuevos departamentos dentro de la división de noticias: una unidad de reportajes de investigación, dirigida por el ganador del Premio Pulitzer Gerardo Reyes, y una unidad de documentales, que produjo varias películas aclamadas por la crítica sobre temas que afectan a las comunidades latinoamericanas e internacionales. El compromiso ampliado de la división con el periodismo de investigación ayudó a Noticias Univisión a ganar varios premios de periodismo desde 2012, incluidos los premios Peabody y Reporteros y editores de investigación por su artículo de investigación sobre Operación Rápido y Furioso., dos premios Gracie, un premio Cronkite a la excelencia en periodismo político y otros catorce premios ganados por cinco documentales producidos por ambas unidades. Además, la Academia de Artes y Ciencias de la Televisión honró a Jorge Ramos y María Elena Salinas con premios Lifetime Achievement Awards en la 33.ª edición de los premios Emmy de noticias y documentales en 2012.

En marzo de 2013, Noticias Univision y Participant Media anunciaron una asociación para coproducir diez documentales de una hora que se transmitirán en Pivot Channel en inglés y en Univision en español. Tres meses después, en junio de ese año, la Unidad Documental produjo Violación de un Sueño , que fue producida en alianza con el programa documental de PBS Frontline y el Center for Investigative Reporting.

Programación

Noticiero Univisión

El noticiero insignia de la cadena, Noticiero Univisión, es un programa tradicional de noticias vespertino que ofrece un resumen general de los titulares de las noticias del día, con una inclinación más hacia las historias que ocurren en América Latina y a nivel nacional, las noticias y temas de suma importancia para los hispanos y los hispanos.

Debido a esto, los informes que se centran en la inmigración y las relaciones diplomáticas con América Latina se destacan regularmente en el programa, además de los temas relacionados con el gobierno, la salud y los asuntos económicos. La transmisión principal de la tarde del programa está actualmente copresentada por Jorge Ramos y María Elena Salinas.

El programa está en pie de igualdad con los noticieros en inglés en cuanto a calificaciones en áreas urbanas con una gran población hispana, siendo a menudo el principal noticiero en áreas como la ciudad de Nueva York, Chicago, Los Ángeles y Miami.

Una edición secundaria nocturna del programa, Noticiero Univisión: Edición Nocturna, se transmite todas las noches a las 11:30 pm hora del este y del Pacífico (con una retransmisión a las 4:30 am hora local). El programa, que es uno de los dos únicos noticieros nacionales tradicionales entre las principales cadenas de transmisión de EE. UU. (Junto con Hechos en el competidor TV Azteca) que se transmite en un horario de última hora de la tarde, mantiene un formato similar al de la edición de primera hora de la noche, con más centrarse en los titulares de las principales noticias; sin embargo, el programa utiliza presentadores separados de la transmisión temprana para las ediciones entre semana. De 1999 a 2011, el noticiero de la tarde se conoció como Noticiero Univisión Ultima Hora, manteniendo un enfoque investigativo en profundidad anclado por Enrique Gratas.

Críticas y controversias

Disputa con Donald Trump y críticas a Jorge Ramos
Después de Donald Trump lanzó su candidatura para el republicano nominación presidencial en junio de 2015, el anclaje conductor de Noticias Univisión, Jorge Ramos siguió una entrevista con Trump para discutir los comentarios que hizo en su discurso de campaña declaratoria menospreciar a los inmigrantes mexicanos, acusando a México de envío de delincuentes, violadores y drogas importadores a los Estados Unidos (lo que llevó a Univision Communications a rescindir su contrato para transmitir los concursos de Miss EE. UU. y Miss Universo, que estaban programados para transmitirse en la cadena hermana UniMás a través de un acuerdo de cinco años firmado en febrero, y prohíbe a sus empleados realizar negocios de la compañía en hoteles o complejos turísticos propiedad de Trump; Posteriormente, Trump presentó una demanda por incumplimiento de contrato de $ 500 millones contra Univisión por la rescisión del contrato). El 26 de junio, Trump publicó una carta de correspondencia escrita a mano enviada por Ramos, solicitando una entrevista con él en Instagram, que contenía el número de teléfono celular personal de Ramos para uso comercial (que no estaba oculto), antes de eliminar la publicación.

En una conferencia de prensa celebrada por Trump el 25 de agosto de 2015 en el Grand River Center en Dubuque, Iowa, Ramos, que intentó hacerle una pregunta a Trump sobre sus políticas de inmigración sin ser llamado de antemano, como Trump había señalado a otro reportero en la audiencia, fue rechazado por Trump, quien repetidamente le pidió a Ramos que se sentara y le comentó que «vaya de regreso a Univisión». El personal de seguridad presente en la conferencia escoltó a Ramos fuera de la sala de conferencias del hotel, donde un miembro del equipo de seguridad (a quien los funcionarios de la campaña negaron que fuera un miembro del personal de Trump) le dijo a Ramos, nacido en México, que se convirtió en ciudadano estadounidense en 2008, que «saliera de mi país». Un asistente de Trump invitó a Ramos a volver a ingresar a la conferencia unos 15 minutos después con el pretexto de que esperaba a que lo llamaran, participando en un acalorado intercambio con Trump sobre su postura de línea dura sobre la inmigración cuando se le pidió que respondiera una pregunta.deportaciones de familias indocumentadas y derogar un estatuto en la Constitución de los Estados Unidos que otorga la ciudadanía por nacimiento, luego citando una encuesta que indicó que el 75% de los posibles votantes latinos tenían opiniones desfavorables sobre él con respecto a la viabilidad de Trump como candidato presidencial. En una declaración apoyando a Ramos, el director ejecutivo de Univisión, Randy Falco criticó su trato por parte de Trump, calificandolo de «por debajo del desprecio» y sugiriendo que Trump se comporte mejor con los miembros de la prensa a medida que continúa su campaña, afirmando que «el Sr. Trump demostró un total desprecio por Ramos y por los innumerables hispanos a quienes Jorge busca representar a través de la prensa preguntas que están en el centro de la Primera Enmienda».

A medida que ha ganado visibilidad en la comunidad periodística en general en los últimos años, Ramos ha recibido críticas por su equilibrio entre la ética periodística y un enfoque de defensa en sus reportajes (como su crítica a la falta de moderadores latinos para los debates presidenciales de los EE.UU. En los que afirmó que quienes sancionaron los debates estaban «estancados en la década de 1950», y su desafío a las políticas migratorias de los candidatos presidenciales Barack Obama y Mitt Romney en un foro político producido por Univisión en el que Ramos actuó como moderador), con Luis Silberwasser, presidente de la cadena rival Telemundo (cuyo vicepresidente ejecutivo de noticias de la cadena, Luis Carlos Vélez, también hizo críticas veladas de que Univisión no estaba promoviendo un «periodismo justo, equilibrado y objetivo»), citando una encuesta de adultos hispanos y latinos realizada en conjunto con La cadena hermana NBC y The Wall Street Journal que afirmaron que la inmigración, si bien era importante, «no era un tema determinante, como otros medios de comunicación le harían creer» en la temporada electoral de 2016. De manera similar a Trump, Ramos fue criticado por su línea de preguntas en la conferencia de Dubuque, con el columnista sindicado Ruben Navarrette, Jr. afirmando que Ramos actuó como «poco profesional» y «jugó [ed] en todos los estereotipos negativos que los estadounidenses suscriben sobre los mexicanos»; Howard Kurtz afirmando que Ramos se había comportado «como un alborotador»; El comentarista político de CNN Jeffrey Lord acusó a Ramos de jugar la «carta racial» a pesar de ser un «mexicano europeo de ojos azules y piel clara» y «dividir el país por razas»; y el escritor de Politico Marc Caputo llamando a Ramos parcial por su apoyo abierto a la reforma migratoria, aunque el escritor de Intercept Glenn Greenwald lo defendió, señalando a periodistas estadounidenses como Thomas Paine y Edward R. Murrowque tienen una opinión y una defensa equilibradas. Ramos dijo con respecto a su enfoque del periodismo: «Nuestra posición es claramente pro-latina o pro-inmigrante... Simplemente estamos siendo la voz de aquellos que no tienen voz»; en una entrevista con New Yorker de octubre de 2015, Ramos también señaló que los latinoamericanos «casi no tienen representación política», criticando específicamente a los candidatos republicanos Marco Rubio y Ted Cruz por «no defender [ing] a los indocumentados».

Una situación similar a la del incidente de Dubuque que involucró a Ramos ocurrió el 24 de octubre de 2015, cuando los equipos de noticias pertenecientes a Noticias Univisión y la estación de propiedad y operación de Miami WLTV-DT y Los Ángeles KMEX-DT, aunque se informó que la división y la estación recibieron autorización de los medios para cubrir el incidente. evento: un oficial de policía fuera de servicio le ordenó que abandonara un evento de campaña realizado para Trump en el hotel en el complejo Trump National Doral Miami (ubicado cerca de los estudios Doral de Univisión), quien les informó que no se les permitía ingresar a la propiedad.

Companies Look to Data & Personality Tests to Recruit
More businesses are using data software and tests to weed out applicants.
By Kathleen Kim
Interviews? Resumes? Cover letters? Think again.
Turns out, more and more employers have recently turned to personality tests and data analysis software to make hiring decisions.
When it comes to data, The Wall Street Journal recently reported that spending on "talent management" software in 2011 was up 15% from the year before, to an estimated to $3.8 billion.
Big companies are also snapping up smaller recruiting-tech companies. Last month, consulting giant IBM scooped up recruitment software company Kenexa for $1.3 billion, while in February, computer technology vendor Oracle bought job-applicant tracking system provider Taleo for a reported $1.9 billion.
As for personality tests: while it seems more companies are using them to recruit, the tests could mean trouble for the company.
An example is Vicky Sandy, a hearing-impaired women rejected from a cashier job at a Kroger supermarket. She recently told the Journal she filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission after receiving a 40% on the supermarket's pre-employment test. Why? The test predicted that compared to other applicants, she was less likely to "listen carefully, understand and remember."
In fact, the EEOC reportedly received 164 complaints about the testing last year. This September, the organization responded with a draft enforcement plan that includes pre-employment tests in any claims of recruitment and hiring discrimination.
In addition, Xerox recently told the outlet that it requires applicants to take 30-minute tests that create scenarios to determine personality traits, such as "creative" or "inquisitive."

YouMe is a recent graduate from New York University, who studied storytelling in social entrepreneurship. She has lived in multiple cities growing up, including Shanghai, New Orleans, Florida, and Hong Kong, but currently resides in New York City. Her wide range of living experiences from childhood has taught her to connect with people from all walks of life. We sat with her at Canal Street Market, where she expressed her love of learning and staying curious. New York allows her to continuously explore and seek new discoveries.
YouMe, tell us about your background!
I was born in New York, but I moved around a lot growing up – for instance, New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong, New Orleans, Florida, and so forth. I moved back to the city for college, and now I call New York my little hub.
"I highly encourage everyone to be vocal and to stand up for what they're passionate about."
Why did you move to so many different cities?
I was raised by a single mom who had many different jobs. As a result, I had to relocate with my mom all the time. I truly believe moms are superheroes, and my mom is one of the hardest workers I know. I used to dislike having to move so often because making friends became very challenging, and I was always the "new girl" at my schools. As I grew older, I learned to better appreciate my past experiences, which have allowed me to develop skill sets, such as the ability to quickly adapt to new situations and surroundings.
What did you study at New York University?
I graduated from Gallatin School of Individualized Studies at New York University, which allowed me to create my own concentration, storytelling in social entrepreneurship. I've always wanted to work and support industries and brands that are using their platform to create positive social change and impact, especially through the form of storytelling – hence, I decided to study storytelling in social entrepreneurship in college.
Why are you interested in storytelling?
Honestly, my interest for storytelling began at a very young age due to living in so many places growing up – I was constantly being influenced by people's experiences and stories. I think storytelling is so powerful because it's a part of human DNA – something that we can all relate to, something that unites all of us together.
Where are you working now?
I left my full-time job last year where I worked as a social media and influencer relations director at a sustainable fashion company. Now, I'm a full-time independent creative consultant, producer, and content creator for beauty, fashion, and wellness brands. I work to create strategies for social media, partnerships, and events.
I began my first job during my sophomore year of college, where I was spontaneously hired for a full-time position by a fashion app company to lead their marketing team.
I had to juggle being a full time student and employee – it was definitely a very interesting time of my life. I attended my classes after I got off of work, which often lasted until 9pm several nights a week.
What inspired you to manage so much in college, a full-time student with a full-time job?
I was inspired by my mom's outlook toward life. Her energy was very contagious, and she never backed down no matter how grim circumstances became. I didn't grow up with much and, thus, I learned never to take anything for granted at a very young age and made the most out of each and every day.
I think I have always been business minded – influenced by my incredible mom. She was the first in her family to start her own business and take venture risks – there was nothing that could stop her drive to succeed. Being able to witness her achievements taught me how to stay strong and to come back stronger each time I fall.
What's the largest challenge you have faced in your industry?
As an Asian American, I find that it is challenging to find opportunities and to be equally represented in the fashion and beauty industry. Often times, minorities have to work 10 times harder for an opportunity and end up receiving reduced pay. With that being said, I've learned to stand up for myself and to stop tolerating that kind of nonsense.
More than ever, I want to use my platform to bring awareness to issues like this because I believe that awareness and education are essential when it comes to opening people's minds up to the issue.
What does it mean for you to be powerful?
I feel powerful when I can use my stories and experiences to uplift and help people – whether it's through sharing vulnerable moments, mistakes I've made, or just a funny story that can make people laugh.
We all have interesting stories to share that set all of us apart, but they are also stories that we can bond over and relate to, bringing us closer together. Most recently, I've tried to use storytelling to combat the lack of representation of minorities in media by spreading awareness. I highly encourage everyone to be vocal and to stand up for what they're passionate about.

A Steenberg woman is seeking justice for her husband, who died after an alleged beating by a backyard mechanic.
Elaine October, 50, buried her husband Charles, 62, on 2 February.
Elaine, who worked for the City of Cape Town for 17 years, took early retirement six years ago says she bought Charles a green BMW 316i with her pension.
In September last year, the car started to give problems.
"The oil and water were mixing and there was something wrong with the roof," she explains.
She says the kerkbroer charged them R3 500 for the repairs but the car wouldn't even drive.
They also discovered parts of the engine in the boot.
Elaine says this caused a lot of stress and Charles had a minor heart attack.
"As we walked to his mother's home, we prayed because we are not violent people," Elaine says.
"When we got to the house, he was sitting on the stoep at the back door. My husband said, 'brother, you said you were going to fetch the car'.
She says when she confronted the man, he pushed her against a car standing in the garage, injuring her right arm.
Waylon says the man then attacked Charles.
"Uncle Charles said 'in die naam van die Here', and then he grabbed Uncle Charles in front of his chest. He punched him in the mouth and pushed him against the wall," he says.
Elaine says they took the injured Charles to his twin brother Andrew's home a few streets away and 20 minutes later he died in the chair he was sitting in.
"I was still looking for sugar water and then he passed away in front of me and his twin brother," the hartseer widow says.
Elaine is now awaiting the results of a post-mortem to establish what had killed her husband, but she firmly believes the beating he took is to blame.
Police spokesperson, Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana confirms a death inquest investigation is underway by Steenberg SAPS but says no arrests have been made yet.
When then Daily Voice went to the mechanic's house on Friday, no one was at home.

Cornwall Council
Plans to build affordable homes on edge of village near Saltash rejected
The proposal to build eight new homes was refused planning permission by councillors

Plans to build new homes on the edge of a village have been rejected after councillors raised concerns about the affordable homes in the development.
An application to build eight new homes on land off Vollards Lane in Hatt, near Saltash, was refused planning permission by Cornwall Council's east sub-area planning committee.
Under the proposals half of the properties would have been affordable with four affordable bungalows and four open market homes.
Planning officers had recommended that the application be approved as long as the applicants gave a commitment to providing the affordable homes as well as a financial contribution for education and open space.
Debbie Newcombe, planning agent for the applicant, said that the developers had agreed to those conditions.
She said that the development would "provide much needed affordable housing" for the local area.
Botus Fleming Parish Council had objected to the application saying that it was not sustainable and would not meet the requirements of the environment.
Local Cornwall councillor Jesse Foot had also objected to the plans and said that it would "result in some of the best and most versatile farmland" being lost.
He said: "The benefits do not outweigh the harm and the impact on the environment would be negative."
Cllr Foot said that Cornwall Council had previously deemed the village to be an unsustainable location for development due to the lack of local facilities.
He said that the village pub had closed and there were no facilities for education, employment or shopping.
Cllr Foot was also concerned that the nearest school was more than three miles away and if families moved into the new homes they would have to pay for school transport.
Planning officers had indicated that the development would be on a rural exception site which allows development in such a location if it was providing affordable homes to meet local need.
However committee member Andrew Long said he felt the plans did not comply with the policy as he did not consider the homes to be an equal 50/50 split between open market and affordable.
He said that while the number of homes was equal the number of bedrooms provided was outweighed by the open market homes - the affordable homes would have two bedrooms each while two of the open market homes would be two-bedroom properties and two would have three bedrooms.
Cllr Long said: "Policy nine (regarding rural exception sites) sits have to have 50 per cent equality throughout - providing less accommodation for affordable would not be policy nine compliant."
John Fitter was concerned about the proposed layout of the development saying that the affordable homes would be located next to the road while the open market properties were away from the road.
He said that he felt that the affordable homes should have been "pepper potted" across the site and mixed with the open market homes.
Derek Holley said that he had "major concerns" about the application both about the affordable housing and also the distance the site is from the village itself.
He said: "I am very doubtful that this is properly attached to the existing settlement. In policy nine it says that they have to be well related to the physical form of the settlement. This field is quite separate to that."
Cllr Holley proposed that the application be refused and was seconded by Cllr Long.
The committee voted to refuse planning permission with 13 votes in favour and two against.

Remembering Mayo's last international: Ollie Conmy

ONE of the side effects of having virtually no sport being played in the country for the last few months is that journalists and broadcasters alike have had to get creative.
While this writer was searching for his own bit of nostalgia to write about, I came across an article a couple of years old. It was a list of every player to last win a competitive senior cap for Ireland, broken down by county.
After finding Mayo, it came as a surprise that the name Ollie Conmy didn't ring any bells straight away and floating the name to a few other well-versed people, they also drew blank expressions.
When you think of famous International soccer players to have hailed from Mayo, the list isn't exactly that long. In fact, it's nearly non-existent. Most famous of all is probably retired ex-international Kevin Kilbane. While technically he wasn't born in Mayo, he has very strong family connections to Achill Island and never misses a chance to gush about his second home.
Another player that comes to mind is the Westport-born goalkeeper Conor O'Malley, most recently in the news for his decision to step away from professional football. O'Malley was most recently plying his trade with Peterborough United and appeared for Ireland against Celtic in Scott Brown's testimonial game back in 2018.
The list of Mayo-born players to have earned a senior competitive cap with Ireland is even shorter. In fact, Ollie Conmy is the only man to hold that honour.
Conmy was born in Mulranny in 1939. He lived there until the age of eight, when his parents emigrated to Huddersfield. The player – a winger by trade – got his big break at the age of 18 whilst playing for a junior side called St Paulinius, and was signed by Huddersfield Town, managed by future Liverpool legend Bill Shankly.
But by the time Conmy broke into the first team, Shankly had departed for Merseyside to take charge of Liverpool. Conmy only played three times for Huddersfield, before moving on to the club he would become synonymous with, Peterborough.
He was renowned for his diminutive style and brilliant first touch, and would go on to score 44 goals in 292 games for The Posh.
There had even been rumours that Shankly wanted to bring Conmy into the fold at Liverpool, but Peterborough wouldn't let him leave and never informed the player of Liverpool's interest in him.
Conmy made his Ireland debut on March 24, 1965 in a friendly game against Belgium that took place in Dalymount Park. Despite losing the game 2-0, the match report highlighted Conmy for having a really impressive first outing, acting as a link man to the Irish attack.
He would go on to earn another four caps for Ireland, three of them being in World and European qualifiers, playing with famous names such as Don Givens, Eamon Dunphy and Joe Kinnear.
Outside of his Irish caps, his biggest achievement was helping Peterborough reach the FA Cup quarter-finals, beating Arsenal on route to what is still the furthest the club has ever got in the famous competition.
Conmy ended his career at non-league side Cambridge Town and briefly returned to Peterborough to coach their youth team, before retiring to Southport and passing away in 2014 after a long illness. His death was marked by the FAI during Ireland's home tie with Serbia that year.
His son, Ben, told The Mayo News in 2014 that his father always retained a deep love of his native county and explained that his father gifted his first international cap and a framed article of his debut to Daly's Pub in Mulranny.
In a county such as Mayo where soccer is beloved, it is a strange feat that we have only had one player to line out competitively for the Boys in Green and that he is probably not as well remembered as he should be. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer for another to come along.

Israeli singer Noa gives a voice to Johann Sebastian Bach in the Auditorio de Tenerife
Date of event 18-Jan-2020
Place Auditorio de Tenerife "Adán Martín"
Address Avenida Constitución, 1
Noa, Yemeni singer and songwriter born in Israel and raised in New York, arrives at the Auditorio de Tenerife on Saturday 18th at 21:00 to perform her new work "Letters to Bach". The performance is made up of twelve pieces of instrumental music written by Johann Sebastian Bach for which Noa has written accompanying lyrics in English and Hebrew. Tickets are on sale from € 39.
The artist, who will play the drums as well as singing, will be accompanied by the guitar and voice of Gil Dor, the drums and voice of Gadi Seri and the bass of Or Lubianiker. The lyrics of Noa's new musical project, produced by Quincy Jones, are inspired by subjects as diverse as technology and religion, global warming and feminism, euthanasia, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and relationships in the era of social media. The arrangements for guitar have been created by Noa's faithful and long-standing musical collaborator Gil Dor, a guitarist, composer, arranger and teacher. Noa and Gil Dor strive to break down the barriers of language, religion, gender, generations and stigma to build a bridge of musical excellence, respect and joy, a place of curiosity, courage and hope. All under the auspices of the overarching connecting thread, Johann Sebastian Bach.
You can buy your ticket online.

I spent the better part of the day immersed in the icy expanses of my mind as I wandered through the clear, strong, deadly whiteness. I gazed deeply upon the past misfortunes of those who sought to conquer the cold. I drank deep of sorrow and loss. Mankind has long sought to make its mark upon distant places, remote places. Places where he has no place being. It is not in his physiology or psychology to withstand the extremities some reaches of the earth offer. Just as he cannot breath beneath the surface without mechanical aid, he cannot survive long without some technological tether in the harshest climes. The polar regions have little love for man. They are unsympathetic, uncaring. Much like dark gods reveling beyond space and time or dreaming in the ocean's depths.
I came away with one absolute truth. No matter what, The Cold always wins.

The Austin Zen Center has been a member of the Austin Interfaith Environmental Network, whose work is to inspire and assist Austin's religious communities to lead the effort to care for the earth and to transform ways of life that cause climate change; to provide experiences to allow the community to enjoy, understand, and appreciate creation (e.g. nature hikes, canoeing); and to satisfy environmental needs of the community (e.g. creek clean up, gardening).
In 2011 Austin Zen Center members began attending the Austin Interfaith Environmental Network meetings and in the Fall of 2011 created the Austin Zen Center's Environmental Studies Group.
During the first meeting of the AZC ESG new members unanimously voted to become a dues paying member of the Austin Interfaith Environmental Network.
By early 2012 the AZC ESG, in collaboration with Appamada's Gaia Group, held a one day environmental stewardship workshop based on the teachings of Buddhist environmentalist Joanna Macy.
In 2012 AZC obtained a carbon impact audit through Climate Buddies, installed solar panels, insulated the floors, obtained the Best of Texas Wildlife Habitat certification, participated in now annual Keep Austin Beautiful cleanups, and started bi-annual group camping trips.
In 2013 AZC became a Green Choice customer, joined the IEN's Green Shepherds, provided 100 reusable grocery totes for AZC members, held an "Earthship" presentation, and participated in the Austin Environmental Preach-off for the first time.
In 2014 AZC joined the Energy Action Team, held a well attended public viewing of the movie Bidder 70, completed a comprehensive energy weatherization of its center, started an organic garden, and held an Earth Celebration and tree dedication/ordination.
In 2015 a majority of light bulbs at the Zen Center were replaced with LED lighting. AZC's engagement and action in reducing our carbon footprint could not have been accomplished without the guidance and support provided by the IEN, EAT, and Climate Buddies during monthly meetings, referencing the Becoming Carbon Neutral handbook, and individual consultations with these groups.
We held public viewings of movies "The Yes Men are Revolting" and "The Merchants of Doubt".
We have planted many native plants and are preparing a wildflower garden for bees and butterflies to enjoy.
A recent carbon footprint assessment of Austin Zen Center's total organizational greenhouse gas impact estimates that AZC emits about 33 tons of carbon annually.
On July 20, 2015 AZC made a donation to Rainforest Trust to protect the Sierra del Divisor, an irreplaceable ecosystem home to a large diversity of animal and plant species and two ancient Amazonian cultures. AZC's donation will keep approximately 100,000 tons of tree-stored CO2 from being released into the atmosphere, in perpetuity. This level of environmental protection will offset AZC's carbon footprint for approximately 3,000 years and preserve annual carbon sequestration on 400 acres of dense, primary-growth tropical forest. With annual tree growth rates generally net positive in the Amazon, this donation will protect roughly 320 tons of additional annual carbon sequestration, offsetting AZC's carbon footprint by nearly tenfold in most years.
In November 2015 AZC endorsed the Texas Climate Resolution which was presented at City Hall and the Paris Climate Talks.
On November 7, 2015 we presented a screening of Merchants of Doubt , a documentary inspired by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway acclaimed book. Robert Kenner's film exposes a secretive group of highly charismatic, silver- tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities, yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and climate change.
On February 6, 2016 we held a free screening of In Defense of Food, a documentary based on Michael Pollan's New York Times Best-Selling book, which analyzes the modern diet of first world nations, and gives suggestions on how to improve one's daily food intake.
On May 14, 2016, we held a free screening of Disobedience, a documentary that tells the story of 4 communities preparing to participate in the national Break Free from Fossil Fuels actions of May 2016.
In June, 2017 we held a screening of From the Ashes, a National Geographic documentary about the coal industry.
In April 2018, we renamed the Environmental Studies Group to the Environmental Impact Group. Stay tuned for updates about upcoming activities.
Texas Interfaith Power and Light (TXIPL) is a nonprofit religious education project that helps congregations of all faiths in Texas take action to reduce global warming and air pollution through energy conservation and renewable energy strategies. TXIPL provides education and training needed to incorporate emissions reduction and renewable energy into day-to-day activities and operations. The Austin Zen Center is an affiliate of this organization and works with them in its efforts to promote a more environmentally sustainable future.

Book Talk: Party Systems in Latin America: Institutionalization, Decay, and Collapse
Monday, March 19, 2018, 4:15pm to 5:30pm
Ash Center Foyer, 124 Mt. Auburn Street, Suite 200 North
Join the Ash Center and David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) at Harvard University for a book talk with Scott Mainwaring, Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor of Brazil Studies and the Faculty Co-chair of the Harvard Brazil Studies Program, author of Party Systems in Latin America: Institutionalization, Decay, and Collapse.
Candelaria Garay, Associate Professor of Public Policy; Frances Hagopian, Jorge Paulo Lemann Senior Lecturer on Government at Harvard University and the Faculty Chair of the Brazil Studies Program at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies; and Steve Levitsky, Professor of Government at Harvard University; will serve as respondants. Anthony Saich, Director of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation and Daewoo Professor of International Affairs, will moderate.
Reception to follow.
Co-sponsored by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School.
Based on contributions from leading scholars, this study generates a wealth of new empirical information about Latin American party systems. It also contributes richly to major theoretical and comparative debates about the effects of party systems on democratic politics, and about why some party systems are much more stable and predictable than others. Party Systems in Latin America builds on, challenges, and updates Mainwaring and Timothy Scully's seminal Building Democratic Institutions: Party Systems in Latin America (1995), which re-oriented the study of democratic party systems in the developing world. It is essential reading for scholars and students of comparative party systems, democracy, and Latin American politics. It shows that a stable and predictable party system facilitates important democratic processes and outcomes, but that building and maintaining such a party system has been the exception rather than the norm in contemporary Latin America.

Yola celebrates Black feminine strength in new music video 'Stand For Myself

RELEASES VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE "STAND FOR MYSELF"
CELEBRATING A NUANCED DEPICTION OF BLACK FEMININE STRENGTH
NEW ALBUM STAND FOR MYSELF DUE VIA EASY EYE SOUND
ON 30th JULY PRE-ORDER HERE
"Yet another musical twist in Yola's saga. An ebullient mix of hard truths and vintage soul."
"The music radiates optimism. But Yola's lyrics are far more skeptical; she's warning that the rich and privileged still have everything rigged in their favor."

Thursday, May 27 – Today, Yola released the video for the title track of her anthemic new album, Stand For Myself, which will be released via Easy Eye Sound on July 30, 2021. The single debuted today with a powerful new video, directed by Allister Ann. The clip features Yola escaping from a world that has entrapped her, on a vintage motorcycle whilst depicting a nuanced definition of Black female strength and drawing on visual references from the music videos from her childhood. "My school years were during the 90s and 00s, and Missy Elliott's videos were always aesthetically superior to me." Yola stated, adding "I feel that the video is set in the antechamber to freedom. The feeling of escaping something truly oppressive and heading towards an unknown with a sense of hope and choice you haven't felt in a long time. We all have the capacity to go through this process in our own minds, I kinda look like a superhero at times, but I'm not. I'm just a person trying to be free."
Yola co-wrote the song with Dan Auerbach, Hannah V and Natalie Hemby and it features The McCrary Sisters on background vocals. The track reflects on Yola's belief in the possibility of paradigm shift beyond the mental programming that creates tokenism and bigotry, which have deeply impacted her personal life and professional career. "The song's protagonist 'token,' has been shrinking themselves to fit into the narrative of another's making, but it becomes clear that shrinking is pointless."
Yola said, adding, "This song is about a celebration of being awake from the nightmare supremacist paradigm. Truly alive, awake and eyes finally wide open and trained on your path to self actualisation. You are thinking freely and working on undoing the mental programming that has made you live in fear. It is about standing for ourselves throughout our lives and real change coming when we challenge our thinking. This is who I've always been in music and in life. There was a little hiatus where I got brainwashed out of my own majesty, but a bitch is back."
The album was produced by Dan Auerbach and has already been hailed as a singular sonic shift, with publications including The Guardian who proclaimed Yola as "one of the UK's most underrated singers" following the release of her recent single, "Diamond Studded Shoes." The Sunday Times Culture praised "a rollicking, country-soul swipe at inequality and injustice", Paper Magazine hailed her new sound as "nuanced and endlessly listenable," and Consequence described Yola as creating, "soulful pop songs that mark a distinct pivot."
Stand For Myself traces a musical thread to Yola's most eclectic inspirations. From the classic albums Yola discovered via her Mother's 70s record collection, to her love of British radio, which featured a fluid mix of 90s neo soul, R&B and britpop—all which soundtracked her childhood and teenage years in Bristol, England. Yola experienced prejudice throughout her childhood and career and navigated these experiences, as well as homelessness in London and stress-induced voice loss to launch her solo career in 2016. She achieved breakout success with her debut album, Walk Through Fire, which landed her four GRAMMY® nominations including Best New Artist, critical acclaim and fans from Elton John to Mavis Staples.
Yola will be one of few artists to perform at both Newport Folk and Newport Jazz in the same year, when she joins the lineup of both events this summer. She will also be performing dates with Chris Stapleton on his rescheduled tour in 2021 and will headline The Ryman Auditorium in 2022. For more information and tickets please visit: www.iamyola.com

Last year, the pandemic derailed Yola's plans to tour stadiums (with Chris Stapleton and The Black Keys) as well as numerous festival plays. In addition, her plans were sidelined to fly to Australia to film a role as Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the new Baz Luhrmann Elvis biopic. Yola used this unexpected gift of time and space to become grounded both physically and mentally, as she began to craft the songs that would eventually become Stand For Myself.
Some songs began in the twilight hours of Yola's pandemic isolation, reflecting on her personal and our collective moments of longing and awakening. Other songs germinated years ago and were inspired by personal moments, including "Break The Bough," which Yola started to write following her mother's funeral. Tracks were also co-written with Dan Auerbach, Ruby Amanfu, John Bettis, Pat McLaughlin, Natalie Hemby, Joy Oladokun, Paul Overstreet, Liz Rose, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Hannah V and Bobby Wood. Recorded during the fall of 2020 with a rhythm section that includes bassist Nick Movshon, noted for his work with Amy Winehouse and Bruno Mars, alongside drummer and rising solo artist, Aaron Frazer.

Q: Can we debug the code present in vb6 from visual studio2019 I have code present in VB6 and I called a function of VB6 from VS2019.
My code:
protected void Button_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

{
    Button clickedButton = (Button)sender;
    SellitEcom31.System ss = new SellitEcom31.System();
    ss.InitializeSite(0);   //Function present in vb6
}

My question is how can i debug to Vb6 code from VS2019 (when debug hits the InitializeSite() function in VS2019 , how will the debug enter into VB6 IDE )
Note : I enabled
1)  Options | Debugging | Edit and Continue | Enable native Edit and Continue
2)  Options | Debugging | General | Use Managed Compatibility Mode

A:
My question is how can i debug to Vb6 code from VS2019 (when debug
  hits the InitializeSite() function in VS2019 , how will the debug
  enter into VB6 IDE )

I'm afraid that the answer is negative.
For VS2015 and previous versions, we can debug DLLS in VS which are generated by VB6 projects by changing some Settings like the options you have enabled. But since VS2017, It seems that it is no longer supported.
Thanks to MarkJ for the documentation, I don't seem to have found any documentation on the latest version of VS that supports debugging VB6 code. Due to it, l have reported it to the DC Forum.Also, you can vote it and add a comment(If I don't describe it in detail) so that it will call the attention of the support team.
As a suggestion, try converting your vb6 project to a vb.net project so that VS can be used directly. It can be a complex process and is just as a suggestion.
Hope it could help you.


You may have heard about how Thomas MacEntee used technology and helped save the day last month with an unplanned virtual presentation. I'm thrilled to announce that Thomas will work his magic again – only this time he will be the speaker – and the audience will know in advance that the voice they will hear will be coming from 2,000 miles away.
Noted blogger Thomas MacEntee will present Finding the Living - How to Hone Your Genealogy Researching Skills from his office in Chicago while twenty members watch his presentation in the library in Oakland.
Genealogists have many reasons to locate living relatives – from connecting with long lost cousins, to performing collateral searches, to breaking down brick walls. In this session you'll learn not only why it is important to locate the living, but also how to leverage the power of Internet to make certain you have the correct contact information. You'll also learn how making contact with the living can hone your genealogy research skills and actually help you break down those brick walls.
Participants may bring a laptop computer to class to practice the search techniques learned and receive support from Thomas after a short break.
With over twenty-five years of experience in the information technology field, Thomas MacEntee writes and lectures on the many ways blogs, Facebook and Twitter can be leveraged to add new dimensions to the genealogy experience. He provides market research, education and technology consulting services in the genealogy industry through his business High-Definition Genealogy. As the creator of GeneaBloggers.com, he has organized and engaged a community of over 1,000 bloggers to document their journeys in the search for their ancestors.
This workshop is offered free to members only and is limited to 20 participants. Preregistration is required. Register online.
I can't tell you how excited I am about this workshop! I will also have several practice "case studies" using items such as marriage certificates found on Ebay - and participants will try to find the descendants of the original owners!
