Payson Schwin - January 20, 2023
While Josef Martinez was a franchise icon and one of Major League Soccer's greatest-ever players, he was first and foremost a diehard Atlanta United fan. He felt the same passion and pettiness we did—the club, the city, and the fans meant everything to him. And we loved him in return.

What do you use Twitter for? Keeping up to date with current events? Stalking your favourite actor? Updating the world on your mediocre morning drive to work? Harassing 12-year-old internet trolls? If your Twitter activity includes the latter, your time might be running up (and rightfully so).
On Tuesday (November 15), the social networking service company announced their new reporting tool and an improved mute feature.
Hate speech has always been against Twitter's rules, and reporting Tweets is definitely not a new element, but this newly introduced option will allow users to report vicious content separately, making it easier to report hate speech to Twitter. Instead of saying something is "abusive" or "harassing," the feature allows you to flag tweets as hateful.
Hate speech and harassment has inflated rapidly following Donald Trump's US election win, and, according to the FBI, hate crimes against Muslims have reached an all-time high since 9/11.
Attacks of this nature is not limited to physical disputes; the amount of online bullying and digital harassment has sky rocketed, especially on Twitter. Anti-Semitic Twitter attacks also increased drastically, with millions of tweets targeting journalists covering the 2016 Presidential specifically.
Man starts aggressively yelling "crooked press" at our enclosure. Trump security and police officer rush the man and tell him to back off.
We hope this new feature will help control the amount of hateful comments and racism/sexism that has been circling the Twittersphere.
Did Melania Trump have anything to do with this new incentive? Our guess is probably not; the feature has been in the works for some time, but we appreciate her enthusiasm.

25 must-see artifacts at the new Civil War and Reconstruction exhibit at the National Constitution Center
"Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality" is a new permanent exhibition at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. It opens to the public on May 9, 2019. Julia Hatmaker | jhatmaker@pennlive.com
By Julia Hatmaker | jhatmaker@pennlive.com
It's a period of history that often is glossed over in school. Reconstruction was a time of promise and trepidation, where conflict took place in the statehouses and courts rather than on the battlefield.
It was a pivotal time in American history, so much so that it's been deemed the second founding of the United States.
Now, that time period is the focus of a new permanent exhibition at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia: "Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality." The museum gallery opens on May 9 to the public and is included with admission to the museum.
Inside the exhibition. Julia Hatmaker | jhatmaker@pennlive.com
"It is the most significant permanent addition to the National Constitution Center since I started here in 2013," said Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center at a media preview event.
"It is the only gallery in America that tells the story of how the equality promised by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence was thwarted in the original Constitution, resurrected by Lincoln and Frederick Douglass at Gettysburg and finally enshrined in the constitution in the post Civil War amendments: the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments…
"It is the ongoing story of freedom of equality and it's so inspiring to tell it to you." he continued.
The exhibition is filled with more than 100 notable artifacts from the time before, during and after the Civil War. It also will utilize daily gallery talks with the centers museum educators, theatrical performances, interactive case study story stations and interactive programs to tell the story of the creation and legacy of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments.
An actor portrays Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, a prominent African-American figure in the Reconstruction era. Julia Hatmaker | jhatmaker@pennlive.com
There are two dramatic elements to the exhibits programming, including a look at prominent Reconstruction-era activist Frances Ellen Watkins Harper. An actor portraying Harper will deliver an 1875 address that the abolitionist gave to the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery. It'll be performed twice an hour between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays from May 9 through Memorial Day weekend.
"Fourteen: A Theatrical Performance" will use actors to bring to life the story of the ratification of the 14th Amendment with dramatic interpretation of original texts from the era. It will run twice a day June 20-26 and four times a day June 27-Aug. 10.
One of the many interactive elements at the exhibit. Julia Hatmaker | jhatmaker@pennlive.com
The museums interactive displays about each amendment let visitors track the creation of each one over time. They'll see how edits were made in their drafting and the debates they sparked. They'll also learn more about the figures that helped the amendments pass and the people whose lives were forever changed by them.
When you visit the exhibition, however, don't leave without seeing these incredible artifacts:

Johnson's policies enabled Southern states to form their own "black codes" which heavily restricted the rights of black Americans. Stevens also was one of the most influential people behind the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. This cane is from that time period and was used between 1860 and 1868. For most of his political life Stevens lived in Lancaster, where he is buried.

Nutritional gatekeeper has been used to refer to the person in a household who typically makes the purchasing and preparation decisions related to food.   Nutritional gatekeepers can be a parent, grandparent, sibling, or caregiver.

History
The concept of the nutritional gatekeeper was first suggested by Kurt Lewin in 1943.

Based on Lewin's research, food reaches the household through "channels" such as grocery store, the garden, and the refrigerator. The selection of the channels and the food that passes through them is under control of the gatekeeper.

For sixty-five years since Lewin's work, many dietetics and nutrition textbooks have referred, in the discussions of children's and adolescents' dietary habits, to the gatekeeper role played by women.

Roles
Gatekeeper research starting in the 1940s suggests that the cooks are also responsible for nutrition. Cooking family dinners can expand the nutritional gatekeeper's influence. Eating family dinner has been associated with healthful dietary patterns, better fruit and vegetable intake, lower intake of fried food and soda.

A home's nutritional gatekeeper usually has the biggest food influence in the nutrition life of most people. They are the biggest food influence in the lives of their children as well as in the life of their spouse or partner. They also influence the restaurant orders of their family by what they recommend or order themselves.

Greater numbers of children are relying on caregivers to provide a significant portion of their nutritional needs or act as nutritional gatekeepers. Currently, child care in the United States is varied – child care homes (both regulated and unregulated) – and other placement such as care in the child's home by a relative or other caregiver.

Providing healthful meals and snacks to children during the day (and sometimes the early evening as well) in a pleasant eating environment is a major responsibility for the child care facility. In other words, the child care facility have joined the family as the nutritional gatekeepers'. As stated in Briley, Mcbride, & Roberts-Gray, 1997, Caregivers are being asked to take the role of the nutritional gatekeeper for children.

EOS price today is $1.99 with 24 hours high of 9.7%. Bitcoin recorded the 24-hour high at 2.69% even though the value was $3506.72. EOS left Bitcoin behind in the 24h high chart.
With the current circulating supply of 1.02 Billion coins, EOS has a total volume of $1,044,828,343 exchanged.
EOS is worth your attention!
Well, the cryptocurrency market was bullish in December last year. After that, it started cooling down and has been bearish since January 1. Downward price trends affected every crypto-asset. Even the cryptocurrency giants, namely – Bitcoin, ripple, Ethereum recorded low prices.
The market is bearish mood was confusing for investors as they could not decide which cryptocurrency is worth the investment. But EOS, despite being new, came to the rescue of investors by offering high earning potentials.
EOS is unique in comparison to bigger cryptocurrencies ruling the market. Launched in 2017, its parent company Block.one was selling the tokens for almost one year. They raised around $ 4 billion in total.
EOS is a Blockchain-based platform that supports decentralised operations and helps in the creation of blockchain apps.
The company opened token sale deviating from the conventional ICO approach. It was led by chief technology officer Dan Larimer who has created two other cryptocurrencies which are worth $ 4 billion each before. The one-year ICO ended on June 1, 2018.
If you believe EOS development team, EOS has all the potential to overtake Ethereum – the second most valuable cryptocurrency in the market.
EOS price surged rapidly in November 2017 due to the sudden turn of events. It was trading at $1.21 on Nov. 4th. At the same time, the market capitalisation of EOS cryptocurrency reached $54 million. It showed the glimpse of its volatile nature from then on. And finally, EOS reached a new high on Jan 13th trading at $18.16 with a market cap of $109 million.
Unfortunately, the upward price move did not last for long. And the downward spiral began with EOS price reaching $4.08 on March 19th. EOS price today cannot be predicted due to its volatility. The cryptocurrency bounced back to the highest price peak of $21.46 in April 2018 with a market capitalisation of around $176.6 million.
With the hype around Mainnet launch, EOS developers raised $4 billion through daily auction. EOS managed to get a +250% high in 30 days. The cryptocurrency made an unusual one-day price move of 35% on April 24th, 2018.
On April 1, the value of EOS was at $6.00. The price of this cryptocurrency kept rising throughout April hitting an all-time high of $22 on April 29, 2018. Negative news before launch and other factors pushed the EOS price in May 2018. The EOS price USD dropped by 24% to $10.00.
Although it is currently trading below $10, it doesn't contradict the potential of EOS. Its blockchain infrastructure is similar to Ethereum that is the fifth largest cryptocurrency based on market capitalisation. As the bearish market turned bullish and the company settles all the Negative news, the sentiment of the market gradually started growing positive day by day.
Why Can EOS Reach High Again in 2019?
EOS broke into the top 10 crypto-space in short period. According to many cryptocurrency experts, the price movement of this cryptocurrency is not only volatile but sometimes too good to be true. Considering a market with 1,340 cryptocurrencies, EOS with $1.5 billion trading volume on a daily basis is remarkable for new entrant. The future is positive and promising for EOS!
EOS price is currently low. If the price rises rapidly within the next few weeks, you can buy the currency without drilling a hole in your pocket. But cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, etc. are out of the reach of regular investor due to a high value.
While Ethereum can handle 15 transactions every second, EOS can handle between 1000 to 6000 transactions every second. Another advantage of EOS over Ethereum is that it does not have any transaction fees. Therefore, EOS is gaining the right amount of traction.
In 2019, the dominance of cryptocurrency giants such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. will reduce to a considerable extent. The cryptocurrency market will go up by 4%, and EOS will have the opportunity to increase its market capitalisation. And if, it overtakes Ethereum EOS price touch new highs.

Indie Supergroup Boygenius Debuts Dynamic Female Dominant EP
by WXJM Web Team
By Nick Piccinino
It's a well known fact that women are underrepresented in the music industry. Despite this, some of the best music in the past few years has been released by female fronted bands. Artists like Snail Mail, Cherry Glazzer and Soccer Mommy have made strides in pushing the evolving sound of indie rock. Within this large web of new artists sit indie rockers Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers. All three musicians, established in their own right, create their own brand of folk rock with sentimental lyrics and have been making waves with their new collaborative EP released under the name "Boygenius."
Its six track, self-titled EP is a tender, emotional 21 minute experience. Dacus, Baker and Bridgers trade off on lead vocals and often come together on choruses to make beautiful three-part harmonies. The stand-out track "Me & My Dog," begins with a soft acoustic guitar and eventually swells with ambient electric guitar and banjo. Boygenius has a knack for seamlessly adding subtle elements in its songs. The track "Salt in The Wound" starts with a distorted guitar and Dacus' vocals, which builds to a loud and powerful climax.
The topics of the songs cover familiar territory: love, heartbreak and revisiting nostalgic places, and the lyrics are delivered with such sincerity that there's never a moment where any line comes across as insincere or melodramatic. For instance, the closing track "Ketchum, ID" contains the poignant lines, "Being in love is the same thing as being alone / Giving the sorrow some company / Nothing to say, stay on the phone / I'm sorry I do not know what else you want from me." You can feel the earnest longing in Baker's delivery. Additionally, the EP's length is one of its greatest strengths. None of the songs feel like fillers, making the EP a good sample of the group's talent and potential — a potential that could be further realized on a future full album release. Overall, Boygenius has succeeded in making a dynamic, striking folk EP.

The best part is, it's a breeze to organize when you partner with us because along with our special retreat booking software, we offer planning and promotional support that takes the stress out of planning your destination retreat.
