September 2019 /
7-Eleven Owners Air 'Cold, Hard Facts' Against Corporate
By Beth Ewen
7-Eleven operators are calling for "a change in corporate leadership, starting at the top."
Franchisees leaving the 7-Eleven system are "creating a glut of available stores across the nation, including in major markets like Los Angeles and New York," says the latest missive from the convenience store giant's biggest critic—its coalition of 7-Eleven owners.
The National Coalition of Associations of 7-Eleven Franchisees is comprised of 41 franchise association members representing more than 4,400 7-Eleven stores in the United States, the group says, and they're calling for "a change in corporate leadership, starting at the top," to help "make the company more appealing to new and existing franchisees."
The release included publicly available franchising data from SEI, the parent company, the group said, including:
-Eighteen percent of 7-Eleven stores in the U.S. are currently available for franchising.
-Since April 2018, the number of available stores has increased more than 57 percent, from 999 to 1,578.
-Since April 2018, stores currently owned by a franchisee and put up for sale (known as goodwill stores) have increased more than 95 percent in California; 39 percent in New York; 314 percent in Illinois; 84 percent in Virginia and 60 percent in Washington State.
-Completed sales of franchised stores more than quadrupled from 2013 to 2018.
-Turnover of franchised stores due to terminations, non-renewals and abandonments doubled from 150 in 2013 to 314 in 2018.
7-Eleven in Dallas sent the following statement touting accomplishments over the last decade and the past year:
"We are proud of the recent growth toward our goal to double the size of the system by 2027. Through the acquisition of over 1,000 Sunoco stores as well as organic new store growth, we now have 1,385 stores available to be franchised. That's 185 more stores than this time last year with 158 of those coming from the Sunoco deal providing more opportunity for franchisees to grow their businesses or new entrepreneurs to join the system," it said.
"During the past 10 years, the 7-Eleven brand has generated over $15 billion in earnings for franchisees across the country. In fact, average franchisee gross income is at an all-time high. The opportunity with the brand is tremendous as attested by the 4,700 franchisees that signed a new 15-year franchise agreement in the last 12 months and continued robust interest from entrepreneurs looking to franchise with this system," the statement from 7-Eleven said.
Eric Karp, general counsel for the National Coalition, explained in an interview the reason behind the press release. "The reasons we want to put it out is because we want people to appreciate and understand" the impact of corporate decisions, said Eric Karp. "They are cold, hard facts because they're taken from publicly available documents…The trends on all of those statistics are unfavorable."
Karp noted the National Coalition's board vote about a year ago expressing "no confidence" in management. "We don't understand how 7-Eleven could ignore these trends because they don't bode well for either the franchisors or the franchisees. We have repeatedly, and when I say repeatedly I mean it, attempted to sit down with them and have an arms length, amicable, transparent, collaborative discussion about where this system is headed."
I said it sounded similar to the franchisee association for Jack in the Box, who said over several months they had tried but failed repeatedly to get corporate's attention and then filed a lawsuit in December 2018. Would that be in the cards for this group?
Karp didn't answer directly but pointed to three misclassification lawsuits pending in California, Illinois and Massachusetts by 7-Eleven franchisees. "Those cases received a boost when California affirmed the Dynamex" decision in state supreme court and then the state legislature passed Assembly Bill 5 in September, Karp said. Both are seen as a threat to the franchise business model because they may lead to independent contractors being classified as employees.
"We said to 7-Eleven, you can't hold your breath. You can't assume that 100 percent of the wisdom to address these challenges rests in Dallas or Tokyo," the chain's two headquarters, Karp said. "If you want franchisee buy-in you have to bring them to the table and not treat them like glorified store managers."
According to the release, the gross margin for franchisees has been slipping, "yet 7-Eleven has started taking a bigger portion" of gross revenue. "The new 2019 franchise agreement calls for a much steeper gross profit split, with a marginal rate as high as 59 percent in favor of the company," it said.

"When in Rome…" so the saying goes, and Kristin and Chris have certainly embraced London life during their time over here from the USA. Next year, they are getting married at their local place of worship, the stunning Southwark Cathedral, before a reception at the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. For their engagement shoot we wanted somewhere equally iconic and spent a couple of hours in one of my favourite London villages – Greenwich.
On a beautiful Summer's evening, and after a refreshingly cold drink down the pub, we went for a wander taking in the Cutty Sark, the Greenwich Foot Tunnel and the Old Royal Naval College.

I spent the last week on vacation with family, and in a moment where I must have needed some grounding, my mother, who also happens to be my first teacher, corrected me by saying, "That's not why you practice yoga, Peach. You practice to find space. You practice to expand. Don't forget that."
Oops. I had forgotten. I think I had forgotten from looking at Instagram and wondering why my body didn't contort like some other bodies.
By the way: she didn't mean the general "you," but specifically me, her daughter. I momentarily lost my way, and she knew that. Her point was, in fact, that what we all seek is different.
Later my mother explained more. She told me, "Everyone seeks expansion in different ways. For some, it's building career success and making money. For others, it's through making shapes with their bodies and seeing how far they can take that. But it's the same experience. We all want to expand."
And finally she looked me in the eye and said, only as a loving truth-teller can say, "You're like a skittish race horse, Peach. You could bolt at any second."
I am not the only one who feels pressure to be a certain way. I know you feel it too. And the pressure I sometimes feel to be there for, or perform for, other people, can surmount to the point of feeling like I want to run. I have run before. I still feel the urge.
And I can understand this urge to bolt from the perspective of Ayurveda, the sister-science and medicine of yoga, and call it an excess of vata. I can also scrape the labels and names away and know that, beneath my urge to bolt, beneath the rapidly moving and rising bubbles of vata is a deep, surging desire to expand in the ways that only I can.
Standing in our vacation home together this past week, my brother (and great role model) asked me, "Why DO you love yoga so much, Peach?" And I could only answer truthfully, that my daily practice is my daily respite from what otherwise may be crushing anxiety.
Does that sound dramatic? It isn't only me. My friend, mentor, and respected teacher Livia Cohen-Shapiro has hazarded the estimation that many of us are living in a constant state of shock. I might add that, over that state of shock can build a gross denial that halts so many people from even seeking truth, growth, or expansion.
Yoga is, at least, an anxiety-management practice for me, and at best a glorious access pass into a part of myself I need connection to in order to feel fulfilled. It's rarely pretty, or graceful, or Instagram-worthy. But it's the way I know to go in. And going in is such a relief from all the out.
Yes, daily asana does a lot for me.
I realize there is luxury in having the time to spend an hour or so practicing asana each day. And yet the time feels well spent: my asana practice is my expansion-seeking practice. It's my time to sense body-in-space without comparison. It's my daily invitation, no, requirement, to attend to the deeper version of myself.
Without that, I really am lost.

© 2015 AMDA - The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. Introduction: Cognitive training (CT) offers a potential approach for dementia prevention and maintenance of cognitive function in older adults. Online delivery provides a cost-effective means of implementing CT compared with in-person interventions, with the potential of providing an effective public health intervention for risk reduction. Methods: A double-blind 6-month online randomized controlled trial in adults older than 50 randomized to General CT, Reasoning CT, or control. The primary outcome was instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) in adults older than 60. Secondary outcomes were reasoning, verbal short-term memory, spatial working memory, verbal learning (VL), and digit vigilance in adults older than 50. Secondary analyses were performed with a group defined as showing age-associated impairment in reasoning according to baseline scores in this domain. Results: A total of 2912 adults older than 60 (6742 > 50) participated. General and reasoning packages conferred benefit to IADL (P = .008, P = .011), reasoning (P < 0.0001, P < .0001), and VL (P = .007, P = .008) at 6 months. Benefit in reasoning was evident from 6 weeks. Other benefits developed over 6 months. Analysis of participants with age-associated impairment also showed the same pattern of benefit. A clear dose-response effect was seen. Conclusions: Online CT confers significant benefit to cognition and function in older adults, with benefit favoring the Reasoning package. Scale of benefit is comparable with in-person training, indicating its potential as a public health intervention. Impact on the group with age-associated impairment indicates a particular sensitivity to this at-risk group, which merits further investigation.

Midnight Company presents "Give 'em Hell Harry"
It brought back a play it had done before (at The Missouri History Museum, during the dawn of the Obama administration) — "Give 'em Hell Harry" by Samuel Gallu, the one-man show depicting the life and times of Harry S. Truman. The play premiered in 1975 with James Whitmore in the role. The show was shot on the then-innovative format of videotape and released as a major motion picture (for which Whitmore received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.)
The play begins with Truman's days in the White House, a tumultuous time. After three terms of Franklin Roosevelt guiding the nation through the Depression and World War II, FDR's death propelled Truman into the Oval Office, introducing a new president that the nation knew only slightly (as FDR knew him only slightly.) Truman's first four months in office were some of the most critical and overwhelming any President has ever faced: Four months that saw the founding of the United Nations, the fall of Berlin, victory at Okinawa, firebombing in Tokyo, the Nazi Surrender, the liberation of concentration camps, mass starvation in Europe, the controversial decision to drop nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the surrender of Imperial Japan, and finally, the end of World War II and the rise of the Cold War. After Franklin Roosevelt died, and the unknown senator from Missouri took the oath of office, what was called Truman's "Accidental Presidency" began. But his performance as leader of a changing world in crisis during those whirlwind four months, and after, continues to enhance his reputation and regard.
Two recent books underline the continued interest in and appreciation of Truman's term in office. Chris Wallace's "Countdown 1945" focuses on those first few months of the Truman presidency, narrowing in on the final preparations and Truman's decision to use the Atomic Bomb to end World War II. And A.J. Baime's "Dewey Defeats Truman" moves ahead to 1948, when Truman's whistle-stop tour of America helped his underdog campaign win back the White House. (Baime also wrote 2017's "The Accidental President," which explores the first four months of the Truman presidency in detail, but also gives a good, balanced overview of his early life and career in Missouri.)
Through research, Midnight (along with most everyone else) came to the conclusion that Harry S. Truman was, at minimum, a decent human being who sat in the Oval Office. It was their goal through this play to offer that example, and to instigate more thought about the type of person that should lead our nation.
At the time of this writing, "Give 'em Hell Harry" is still scheduled to run this Sept. 17-Nov. 3, at .ZACK Theatre.
At The Kranzberg Theatres: The Fall Shows – New Show For October?
And for an on-going theatre company, the selection of which plays to present never ends.
For Midnight, with the rescheduling of "It Is Magic," there are now open dates in late October. Midnight does not have to fill those dates, but already has a play in their pocket that — worldwide pandemic allowing — will run at that time.
Note: Any productions that happen at Kranzberg Arts Foundation spaces in the coming months will be rigorously prepared and extensively monitored for safe audience experiences. See the Foundation's COVID-19 Mitigation Policies here.
And also for Midnight, that leaves June 7-June 27, 2021, at the Black Box Theatre inside The Kranzberg waiting. Hoping things will be back to some kind of (new) normal, the Company is currently looking into a number of scripts for that time.

Caffeinated Curation: bell hooks
byCaitlin Lally /
All About Love: New Visions by Bell Hooks
For this edition of High Low's "Caffeinated Curation" series, we're featuring an Iced Chai Latte from Blueprint Coffee and "All About Love: New Visions" by bell hooks.
This pairing was recommended by artist Hayveyah McGowan ahead of her virtual opening reception for the exhibition "Feelings of Home: A need to simplify," on Friday, July 10, at 7 pm on Instagram Live.
McGowan writes:
"In this context 'maternal surroundings' are not bound to the idea of a certain sex rather its the qualities of birthing receptivity, nurture, and sensuality, all expressed through the subtle realm and reinforced in the physical. Through this alchemical process I want to call attention to, not only, the unique ways that the black maternal lineage creates safety but also the synchronicity and rooted need for safety that we share."
The exhibition will be on display at High Low Gallery by appointment only through Aug. 14, 2020. Click here for more information.
Blueprint Coffee at High Low is now open for curbside pick-up and patio service, Monday through Friday, 8 am – 3 pm. Order online here.

Hansen House welcomes 2 resident organizations
Two Kranzberg Arts Foundation resident organizations have found new homes within the Hansen House located at 3617 Grandel Square.
HEAL Center for the Arts and Fly North Theatricals moved into renovated office spaces this summer at the three-story Victorian house, which formerly housed EarthWays Center prior to its move to the Missouri Botanical Garden in 2010.
"We've been trying [to find an office space] since we were established in 2015," said Harvey Lockhart, executive and artistic director of HEAL. "We've been with the Foundation since 2016, and [Kranzberg Arts Foundation Executive Director Chris Hansen] has been actively trying to find a fit for us. It's been a long time coming."
The Foundation invested in rehabbing the house after acquiring it in 2019, and the space opened for the resident organizations in June 2020, with COVID-19 mitigation policies in place.
"Having our own location gives us the flexibility to create the programming we know students need," Lockhart said.
HEAL offers music programming for students including lessons and camps, and according to Lockhart, they will now have more adaptability to generate income in the new space. The organization formerly worked out of local high schools, which was convenient for the students, though not having a centralized location proved challenging at times.
"COVID-19 definitely is causing us to think outside the box a little in regards to what we do," Lockhart said. "There's definitely space [at the Hansen House] for us to have a virtual studio where we can do some live-streaming courses and pre-recorded courses."
HEAL's curriculum not only teaches students how to play music, but it also teaches them about the music business, including negotiating contracts and booking gigs for the ensemble Point of View, which tours regionally.
Similarly, Fly North Theatricals Artistic Director Colin Healy said the new office space also allows him and the Fly North team to make digital resources amid the pandemic.
"We've been producing online content — we've sort of switched over to that this summer, and that became our new summer plan, which is kind of awesome and has been fun," Healy said. The theater company originally planned to present "Assassins" this summer at .ZACK Theatre, however, the production's opening night has been postponed until Friday, Nov. 20, 2020.
"We're making lemonade," Healy added.
Now the organization occupies a space that includes an office where Healy will conduct voice lessons when it is safe to do so (bookings available in September); a rehearsal space for private, physically-distanced dance lessons (bookings available in July); and a production studio.
This summer, Fly North has launched a new podcast called "Grown-Up Theater Kids," an episodic program called "Gin & The Tonic," which is a "reckless unpacking of music history's weirdest stories," and another video series that spotlights local actors.
Prior to moving into the Hansen House this summer, Healy said the organization was challenged by not having a centralized work and rehearsal space.
"We were renting three different spaces essentially," Healy said. "It was totally inefficient and, not to mention, expensive."
"Infrastructure is one of the hardest things for arts organizations to maintain and fundraise for," said Andrew Warshauer, Marketing and Communications Director for Kranzberg Arts Foundation. "That's why our mission is to provide the arts with the infrastructure they need to thrive. It helps to fill a gap, and allows our city's art scene to flourish."
"We're so grateful to have our own home and grow and really provide the services students need," Lockhart said.
Healy echoed the sentiment, "It's just such a flexible and beautiful space, and it means really everything to us. We've finally been able to consolidate all the things that we are … To the Kranzbergs, thank you."

What does Pride mean to you this year?
Pride Month as we know it spawned from the violent riots at Stonewall Inn, in New York City, in 1969. Black queer folks including Stormé DeLarverie and Marsha P. Johnson were instrumental in this demonstration for LGBTQ rights.
"No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us." This quote by artist Michah Bazant who included it on a portrait of Johnson resonates boldly today as we continue to work toward dismantling systematic oppression in all its forms.
We asked our Kranzberg Arts Foundation family, "What does Pride mean to you this year?" Here are some of the responses we gathered.
Matthew Kerns of St Lou Fringe and his husband with their marriage license
"I came out of the closet in my early 20's during the mid-'90s. When I came out I vowed to never go back in; not for a relationship, job, or any reason whatsoever. It has been a long road filled with daily battles for equality… every battle has been totally worth it.
"I live in a state that hates me. It fought against my right to live as an out and proud homosexual man, marry my husband, adopt a child, and even still to this day allowed others to discriminate against me in my workplace.
"If there is a right for a straight man in Missouri the state government will actively and openly work to keep that same right away from a gay man.
"Missouri may hate the LGBTQIA+ community, but Lady Liberty loves us and she proved again [this month] that love always conquers hate."
#LoveWins
-Matthew Kerns, Executive Producing Director for St Lou Fringe
"Pride is canceled.
"I'm thinking about Rem'mie Fells, Riah Milton, Nina Pop, Tony McDade, Kiwi Herring, & way too many other Black trans folx murdered at the hands of state-sponsored violence, white supremacy, transphobia, & other systemic oppression. I'm thinking about all of the Indigenous trans & two-spirit folx who are murdered and missing, whose stories are usually erased and unheard under the same violent systems of power that are taking their lives. And how none of them get to live to celebrate their queerness, their joy, their magic, their fierceness, their aliveness.
"As a queer mixed-race east Asian femme artist, this time for me is another reminder of how acutely I (& we, but to speak for myself) need to continue to examine and use my roles, my art, and my relationships to power, privilege, and oppression to co-shape the reality many of us want to see. One that centers Black and Indigenous liberation & life & pleasure & creativity & wellness & leadership — especially that of Black & Indigenous trans womxn & two-spirit folx & non-binary folx & queer folx.
"To me, that's a kind of pride to celebrate."
-Erika Harano, company artist + educator for Consuming Kinetics Dance Company
"These are celebrations [Juneteeth and Pride] of our human rights. What we do now and from now on will contribute to the changes we need for our future, for equal rights, and for equal treatment as a human race."
-Dawn Karlovsky, Founder and Artistic Director, Karlovsky & Company Dance
"For me, PRIDE is about celebrating diversity, inclusion, and the LGBTQIA+ community. It is a time to actively promote one's self-affirmation and for everyone to reflect on the true meaning of acceptance and love for all of humanity."
-Ashley Tate, Artistic and Executive Director, Ashleyliane Dance Company
"I salute Pride Month. I honor my LGBTQ colleagues in the Arts. And I'm so happy about this [month's] landmark Supreme Court decision, making this month, perhaps, the most significant Pride Month ever.
"And I salute all my fellow humans, of whatever stripe, who are carrying on through the challenges of our time to lead us to a brighter future for all."
-Joe Hanrahan, Co-founder and Artistic Director, The Midnight Company
"It's fitting then that Juneteenth and Pride are celebrated in the same month. Both groups have endured struggle, hardship, and inequality, fighting tooth and nail for every inch of acceptance within the majority culture. Black and LGBTQIA communities have much to celebrate, but their celebration is bittersweet, not just this year but every year. The fact that these two groups share celebratory space isn't all that weird when we consider how inequality and injustice found in American society are often interconnected by systems, institutions, and individuals.
Quote by James Baldwin, Art by Megan Kenyon
"One of my favorite Black authors also happened to be a Gay man; James Baldwin. He is the originator of the quote in the illustration. He reminds us that our character, integrity, leadership, love, is determined by how we treat those who have been pushed to the bottom, denied their full expression of humanity, left to be forgotten.
"Celebration, with its twin sides of lamentation and joy, helps us to combat this desire to forget people not like us. It helps us see the other as just as human as us, full of the same emotions of joy and sorrow, fear and courage, hope, and despair. I hope [this] month gives you an opportunity to learn about the many beautiful aspects of Black and LGBTQIA culture, why they are worth celebrating, and that you not shy away from the sorrowful bits, but instead learn to sit with others in both their grief and their joy.
"We can never be the America we say we want to be if we do not learn how to love our neighbor as fully human, worth of dignity and justice, and worthy of our care and concern, regardless of color, nationality, orientation, gender, age, ability, religion, political affiliation, class, and any other distinction we could put out there. "
-Megan Kenyon, 2020 visual art exhibitor
*This is an excerpt from a longer essay on the topic of Juneteenth and Pride written by Kenyon. Read the full essay here.*
"It's so important to celebrate and support each other – all of us, no matter how we look or identify, are loved and important. One Love."

Three Blind Mice….See How They Die!
The longest running 'whodunit' in the world, The Mousetrap, is now about to be presented in Strathmore. STAG is thrilled to present this Agatha Christie classic to Melbourne audiences.
Trapped in a blizzard, phone lines down, roads blocked, the unlucky occupants of a suitable isolated guesthouse are unsure of their fate – but sure of one thing: someone has murder on their mind!
What dark secrets do they share? What has brought them together in this place? Who will survive? Someone will die!
Make sure you don't ever tell 'whodunit'.


Wo-oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeh.
Wo-oh, these chains of love won't let me be, yeah.
But darling I'm imprisoned by these chains.
But I can't break away from all these chains.
Chains, chains of love, chains of love, chains of love.


Cut two eight inch pieces of ribbon, one from sheer ribbon and one from a solid piece of ribbon. You can use any width of ribbon you like for this project but you will need to place the widest ribbon on the bottom of the bookmark.
I used textured rice paper for this bookmark. Simply cut a square a little larger than your ribbon (refer to photo) with either specially scissors (I used deckle cut) or tear the edges as evenly as possible. Straight cut edges are not as attractive for this project. Cut another square, slightly smaller and another square slightly smaller than the last.
My rice paper was a solid white and to add colour, I simply diluted a mushroom coloured paint with water (two parts water to one part paint) and painted the paper, making sure it was completely saturated and not being very careful to keep the colour even (I wanted an aged worn effect). I only coloured the two larger pieces and left the smaller piece white. Allow your paper to dry completely before continuing. With your dimensional paint, paint a small outline around the small white paper. Simply add irregular lines and dots. Set aside and allow the paint to dry completely.
Take your largest square of paper and place your solid ribbon on top, allowing the ribbon to extend up the paper about 1 inch (refer to photo for paper and ribbon placement). Glue in place. Glue your sheer ribbon directly on top of the solid ribbon. Lining both ends up with each other. Take your second largest square and place it on top of the two ribbons, lining up your paper with the larger square. Glue your painted piece of paper to the top, once again lining up the edges. The heart that I used is simply a very inexpensive plastic button that I recently purchased at Michaels (but very pretty). Scrapbook charms would also work very well.
There are some very pretty plastic buttons (or scrapboook charms) available that will look wonderful on this bookmark. If needed, cut the back loop off the back of your button with a pair of small wire cutters and glue your button to the centre of your top square. Allow the glue to dry completely and trim the bottom ends of ribbon on an angle.

Technology to provide clean water
Written by Silusapho Nyanda
Kusini Water's solar- and gravity-powered water purification systems are bringing clean water to underserviced areas.
Scientist Murendeni Mafumo, the founder of Kusini Water, has created a water purification system that uses nanotechnology and macadamia nut shells to produce clean drinking water.
Nanotechnology is used to manipulate individual atoms and molecules.
The solar-powered water filtration system, invented by Mafumo, purifies water from any source. A pipe connects the water source to the device which filters the water between the shells and nanofibres to produce water that is safe for drinking.
Mafumo (33) said 1 000 litres of clean water are produced every hour for a period of 10 hours by the system that he created.
He explained that the connection pipe is fitted to the top of the device and water flows from the top through the system using gravity. It runs through the membrane and the macadamia shells, trapping most of the chlorine and bacteria.
The entrepreneur said the water filtration system is already being used in several areas, including Vhembe in Limpopo and Heidelberg and Hammanskraal in Gauteng.
The system costs R55 000 and is aimed at assisting communities and schools rather than individual households.
"Our systems are installed in low-income communities such as informal settlements and rural areas," he said.
Mafumo, who holds a Bachelor of Technology Degree in Chemistry from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, left the City of Joburg's water agency, where he worked as a research and development official, to become an entrepreneur.
He said finding cost-effective solutions to some of the country's water challenges had become increasingly important to him and he decided to leave the world of formal employment and dedicate himself to this cause.
His filtration system idea won the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) Pitch and Perfect competition in 2018.
After winning the Pitch and Perfect competition, Seda took Mafumo to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in the Netherlands. The trip has netted Mafumo potential investments from Europe and the United States of America.

The Philippines Says Thank You!!!
February 11, 2014 sempersoluszai	Leave a comment
An excerpt from a News Article of Gov.ph.
Filipinos' lives may still be far from normal in areas hardest hit by super typhoon "Yolanda," but that doesn't stop the nation from being grateful.
As help—and with it, hope—continues to pour in from individuals and foreign countries, survivors of the monster storm smile to the world with gratitude.
The government has launched a global "Thank You" campaign on February 8, at 4:40 a.m., exactly three months since "Yolanda" hit land in Guiuan.
Thank you signs through print ads and billboards in iconic places worldwide have been placed by the Department of Tourism, the agency said in a statement.
"The Philippines says thank you," the signs read, as seen by Americans at the Times Square in New York, by Brits in the Picadilly Circus in London and by the Japanese at the Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo.
Similar signs have also been put up in
– Potsdamer Platz cor. Leipziger Platz, Berlin, Germany
– Lafayette Mogador, Paris, France
– ION Orchard, Singapore
– Yonge-Dundas Square, Toronto, Canada
– Darlinghurst, Sydney, Australia
– Paiknam Building, Jung-gu, Seoul, Korea
The message, DOT said, goes out to "all the people across the globe who have expressed sympathies and who have extended support, financial or otherwise…"
A photo from the campaign has also been seeded via social media, and has been shared with the hashtag #PHthankyou by Filipinos, who are known for their fast-growing online presence.
But Pinoys have been thankful for much longer, whether or not they were directly affected by the storm, which is said to be the strongest in recent history.
The DOT itself admitted that the government campaign has been "triggered by an overwhelming sense of appreciation, which has been strongly expressed in social media…"
"Depicting different ways of expressing their heartfelt appreciation, various messages and images in social media showed the world that foreign support and encouragement has made, and continues to make, all the difference in the country's ongoing rehabilitation and rebuilding efforts," the DOT said.
Super typhoon "Yolanda" slammed several areas in November last year. Among the worst hit was Tacloban City, which was flattened due to a storm surge.
About 8,000 are believed to have been killed or left missing. More remain homeless, even as the government vowed to ramp up its rehabilitation efforts.

Contemplating Internet Inequality in Brazil
#todayilearned #todayisearched #braziliandevs #internet
Ana Carolina S. Dias May 26, 2020 ・4 min read
Hi everyone! Hope you're doing well during these quarantine days~
While I'm using my mother's computer, waiting for my new PC to arrive, I was approved in a Brazilian program about Internet Governance. I never had the curiosity to learn about it such as in-depth as I am having now. It's a very important topic for us, Internet users, and I hope that you read at least some topics about it after reading this blog post.
As our first task, it was created a mailing list between teams of approved people all over the country and we've been discussing some essential themes and something has been quoted a lot in my team: Internet Inequality.
As young people and mostly not working for the government, we are limited to saying they should invest more in education, accessibility, but as we all know, this is not a big priority for them, since even the President and Education Minister are more worried about defeating the leftists than about doing their work.
Nowadays, with the pandemic, this problem has been highlighted with campaigns such as #AdiaENEM (demanding to cancel/postpone the university entrance exams this year) and local campaigns on public schools and universities for not digitalizing their classes (as a private school would do, for example) before all of the students have access to an Internet connection at their homes.
Remote work has also been seen as a solution to some areas such as journalism, programming, et cetera. But, as this LinkedIn blog post by Camila Achutti (in Portuguese) could tell, not everyone has the perfect conditions to work on-line and this should be considered.
The Internet contains information and resources for better education. While its access is not an actual Human Right, it is the main form of information exchange worldwide and the lack of internet access is a lack of reliable and on-time information. For the UN, as stated in this last hyperlink, it's a way to interrupt access to education and freedom of thought/expression, which are actual Human Rights.
So, how do we democratize this access in the middle of a pandemic that is almost obligating us to find new ways to work, to live our lives differently?
Mostly, when we ask ourselves or even official organs this question, we are spammed by the "with public policies" answer. But which public policies? What are the people we voted doing, for making it a thing? As I write this article, the national research "TIC Domicílios" concluded that 3/4 of Brazilians have access to the Internet at their homes. Brazil is populated by more than 212 million people. That means at least 53 million do not have this access to information. That's a lot.
What are the "public policies" doing to help these 53m people get access to the Internet? I googled it up and almost everything I found is almost outdated - most articles are from the first semester of 2016, when Dilma Rousseff was still our President, four years and two governments ago. More recent governments have been doing few - or even nothing - to promote on-line equality.
That was when the "Marco Civil da Internet" (our net neutrality laws) was approved and started working. Since then, I couldn't search for any relevant public policies on democratizing Internet access. That could mean it's not a priority for the federal government.
Both broadband and mobile connections have a broad reach in the country, excluding only a few areas. But not everyone in the reached areas has access to a smartphone or a computer, for example. I'm not saying the government should simply give all of them an iPhone, but at least they should be aware of this condition when digitalizing documents, creating an app for receiving the emergency help from a bank and other exclusive actions for people who have smartphones.
Let's not forget that this last app has suffered a lot since its beginning, remembering the CPF (our social security number) value in the sign-up page was programmed to be an "integer", not a "char" value, excluding numbers that started with zero and that a LOT of people are robbing identities to receive the money.
So, I guess the population itself has to stand up and fight for its rights to information and connection. But how?
As the #AdiaENEM was made mostly by privileged (but heureusement woke) students who had access to Twitter at the time, we will need people who also have access to help with that fight. But only trending a hashtag may not work as well as it did with the ENEM test. We should create actions and campaigns that actually help to bring the Internet to the less privileged, instead of only contemplating numbers and wondering when will someone do something.
Beyond the access of poor people, we should also consider the access of people with disabilities, people of color, and other minorities, such as women and the LGBTQIA+. That makes it even harder and bureaucratic to plan, even in the long term.
How would you help to solve this problem? Please, leave a comment!
Pandita • May 26 '20
I feel you with the governments not doing absolutely anything part 😓
I'm guessing the only solution I could offer is the creation of civil associations/non-profits that either 1) pursue legal changes that push companies to create infrastructures in remote areas, 2) accepts old computers/satellite internet/money/etc to offer kids remote education, 3) affiliate with internet coffee shops to offer discounts, 4) courses on how to use the internet, computer, software, etc. at a lower price for your target audience and higher price to those who aren't but are still interested (you need cash if you want to operate!), 5) affiliate with companies or offer them courses, workshops and talks (again you need cash to operate!), especially industrialized ones, your demographic is right there waiting to be helped!
It's a small not very well thought out idea sure (I feel more like I'm brainstorming more than offering a real solution sorry), but as a citizen, you can still push and work for the change you want :3
I think it's great that you want to help out your people out! I hope you continue motivated to persevere through this problem <3
Ana Carolina S. Dias Author • May 26 '20
Thank you for the comment and the support! I agree with your ideas and I admire your efforts to think about it. I think as citizens we could help by spreading those ideas and making them get out of the paper, and you gave real-life solutions that we could actually apply.

3D Printing Shop Brings Delaware into Digital Age

Kevin Seefried and his son, Hunter Seefried, were among the first to enter the building. A photo of Kevin holding a Confederate battle flag went viral.
Lindsay Podraza
Lindsay Podraza is an editor and contributor for Town Square Delaware. She's a Tar Heel, former newspaper reporter and barbecue aficionado. Lindsay also writes for the Penn Law Journal, the school's alumni magazine.
At a time when the exploding tech market is dominated by so-called millenials, an enthusiastic baby boomer has stepped forward to bring Delaware deeper into the digital age with a 3D printing shop in Newark.
Meet Joe Otto, retired from a career in custom airplane manufacturing and aviation consulting, whose passion for technology and creativity has fueled Sovereign Air 3D Printing LLC.
The technology has been booming in the past few years, but many aren't familiar with the concept, Otto said. Sometimes folks walk into the ultra-mod shop off Main Street and ask about printing wedding invitations or graduation announcements. "We have people come in and say, 'OK, where do I put the ink?'" Otto said, chuckling.
A 3D printer creates an M-shaped garden planter.
So, just what is 3D printing?
It's when a machine takes information about an image – for example, from a USB drive – and converts that image into a real three-dimensional object. It "prints" the object by melding together layers of filament, usually a kind of biodegradable plastic lanyard at Sovereign Air.
That might sound like a passing fad, but Forbes cites a report predicting that the 3D printing industry, which generated more than $3 billion in revenue in 2013, will exceed $21 billion in revenue worldwide by 2020.
"It's the most disruptive technology of the past five years," Otto said. "And it's fun being disruptive."
What's so exciting, Otto said, is that the possibilities with 3D printing are endless. In his shop, there's a bust of Teddy Roosevelt. A small replica of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. A vase, a napkin holder, a model of a T-Rex.
But 3D printing has its practical uses too. Inventors frequent his shop to print prototypes. Surgeons ask for bone replicas, and doctors at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore send scans of feet to create orthotics. In the back of Otto's shop, industrial-size, heavy-duty printers make airplane parts for Boeing.
Otto and his wife, Ruby, hope to make 3D printing a part of the average Delawarean's everyday life as well. They sell three kinds of 3D printers for home use and hold 3D-printing workshops every other Saturday to teach about printer usage and design software. They don't their sell printers online and pride themselves on training first-time buyers.
Joe Otto stands with one of his 3DMe machines.
There's also an element of fun with 3D printing, particularly with Otto's new-fangled "3DMe" photobooths by Cubify, which he says are the only ones on the East Coast. They made an appearance last weekend at Newark's New Night festival. The touch-screen machines take your picture and can print your face on a variety of figurine characters, from Ghostbusters and pirates to NBA players and mermaids.
The machines were a popular stop at New Night, said Katherine Smith, a senior technician at Sovereign Air. "Kids and adults – all adults – go crazy about it," she said.
The figurines cost anywhere from $19.99 to $69.99 and take at least a week to be printed and delivered, Otto said.
He'll be out again with 3DMe machines at the upcoming New Castle County Ice Cream Festival.
And he'll continue his mission of educating those about the wonders of 3D printing. "I firmly believe it's the next big industry," he said. "These things are going to be like computers soon."

I am excited to feature the latest collection by Lotta Jansdotter today - Mormor - Lotta's fourth collection with Windham Fabrics. There are in fact two new collections due for release in February 2014 (see the Sylvia collection below). And I have to once again thank my fabric scout for picking up this bundle for me at Quilt Market in Houston. I can say that traveling home from NYC was eventful with all of my fabric bundles being submitted to additional x-ray and scanning. Yes, my carry-on luggage. Of course.
Mormor is a bright and vibrant collection and introduces a range of new colors that we haven't seen before from Lotta, including eggplant purple, coral and dark gray.
Released simultaneously is the Sylvia collection. Sylvia is Lotta's first all black and white collection. Black and white prints are easy to combine with other fabric collections, provide stark contrast and can be great feature fabrics. The perfect basic stash fabric.
My local store got a bundle a couple of months ago and I just drooled over Mormor. Lotta is my favorite designer and I'm excited to add this to my collection.
Wow! She does such a great job! I think I like these more than her other lines and did not think that was even possible. I will keep my eyes open for it.
I really like the Sylvia collection! It would be great to combine with yellow or red!
Love the name of the fabric - because everyone wants More!More! of Mormor!
I really love Lotta Jansdotter fabric - and it looks like these are just as good. Can't wait for them to be available in the UK - especially like the black and white.
Oh, no I didn't know that! I do know that Lotta has dedicated both these collections to her grandmother who recently passed away ~ I have read that her grandmother was Lotta's biggest inspiration and supporter.
Mormor is the maternal grandmother. Mor is an older word for mother, nowadays most people say Mamma but the word mor lives on in mormor. Farmor is the word for the paternal grandmother, far meaning father, so in swedish we see on the word itself what the relation is. That works itself back generation after generation, my husbands maternal grandmother, his mormor, is still alive and she is our children's farmorsmor, father's mother's mother, or fathermother's mother as the word actually translates. We mostly use the word gammelmormor though, the old grandmother, eldergranny. That's not as descriptive since there are two gammelmormor and two gammelfarmor in a family but it's a sweeter word.
Blomster is a word I'm lacking the english words to explain better, it is flowers but at the same time in a broader kind of saying, (a) blomma or (many) blommor is the everyday word for flowers. If you use a kind of courier service for delivering flowers for example, then you are using a blomster courier. It's a flowerish word, kind of a fancy flowery word, or a most oldfashioned flowery word. Not a great explanation I know but hopefully worth reading once.

Whitney biennial 2019 : biennial meaning
What connects several of biennial period disparate political struggles and teams. It is what McKee, borrowing from David Graeber, describes because the "creative resistance," a political strategy that uses the techniques of art-making to unfold messages or advance critique. Whereas additionally in a way of New York they are "prefiguring" or transfer into being another vision of however that community or establishment might exist. David Graeber's prepared example is that the field occupation, during which students, faculty, and employees don't just criticize university policy. However through teach-ins, break-out teams, committees, and also the activities of way of life for a biennial plant, square measure ready to reimagine however the university may operate in radically completely different and a lot of democratic ways that.
Whitney New York exhibition
While the Whitney art historians were debating DTP's inventive and political lineage. Lise Soskolne, associate organizer of W.A.G.E., crystal rectifier a gaggle of a couple of dozen artists to the lobby outside the area. Wherever they weekday in an exceedingly circle on the concrete floor. Whitney New York exhibition had simply free a decision to artists chosen for the Whitney Biennial. It is to withhold their art work till the stress of the Whitney employees were met. Soskolne explained that artists were purported to use a brand new on-line platform created by W.A.G.E., referred to as WAGENCY, that may permit them to singly negotiate with the deposit for this purpose. The assembled crowd of artists didn't perceive however this may work.
Whitney word for every two years
Whitney study club said, "Why aren't we tend to doing a full accepting of Whitney?" associate older creator sitting on a chair asked Soskolne. several of the younger artists within the circle frowned at the thought. Others recalled the challenges of protests at past Biennials, as well as around Celtic deity Schutz's painting of Emmett until, that had drawn widespread tilt at intervals the art world and on the far side. Had something come back of these protests? The meeting complete while not abundant progress.

With the meeting of digital art is over, attendees polished concerning the area, among them. A couple of employees members from the Whitney who had chosen to stay concealed. I spoke with one deposit worker WHO had helped write the staff's demands. "I've been extremely heartened to examine some artists supporting the letter. The Whitney is that the artists' deposit," they aforesaid, gesturing to the gang. there have been individuals from across town, of each age, gender, race. Some were wearing the rumpled sport coats of professors, others in inert gas beanies and busted Dr. Martens. most of them were artists. "[The staff] might not have plenty of power to create demands of the administration, however artists neutralize an awfully possible way."
Art and deal magazine
Kyle Goen despite the extreme public pressure, tumultuous protests, and negative media coverage, Kanders has not nonetheless resigned. And as of press time, only 1 creator, Michael Rakowitz, has withdrawn from the Biennial. "I exchange commonality with the employees, and every one the those who square measure being tear-gassed," Rakowitz told American state over the phone. associate yank creator and prof at Northwestern University. whose work usually addresses the lingering devastation of the 2003 invasion, Rakowitz felt his participation in associate exhibit funded by a "profiteer of state violence" would go against everything he stands for. He thought of the thought of addressing the matter of Kanders in his work, however "I suppose the machine of the deposit will a awfully sensible job of appropriating that critique and turning that into a product," he said.

What does My Life Look Like as an Intergenerational survivor?
In Op-eds

As an intergenerational survivor with children of my own, I know it is possible to go through a great deal of pain and come out on the other side with hope, social and academic competence, and joy. My children received the opportunities and gifts my mother and I were not able to experience. They had what many would call a "normal" childhood with two parents, albeit ultimately divorced, but together during their youngest years and still present in their lives.
My mother spent eight years in Shingwauk Indian Residential School (IRS) with her siblings, and there they were denied the simple reality of a loving touch, a maternal smile and a paternal hug. They did not come out of there with healthy attitudes or behaviours, and when you know the story of IRS, you know why. However, like many direct survivors, they did their best with what they had and they ensured their children had clothing, food, and a roof over their heads like every other good parent in this country. The missing things were hugs, parental pride, whispered I love you's, weekend play dates and family time. They didn't know how important those things were because they didn't have them once they were taken from their parents and raised by nuns and priests who never had children of their own.
My mom wasn't huggy, but she sewed like a champ, taught me all about consequences, and she made me laugh. We laughed a lot in between the pain of domestic violence and the all too familiar partying she did with her peer group. She married another survivor, and he had spent twelve long years in the same school. He came out of there swinging and he never stopped until cancer stopped him. But, we all eventually learned forgiveness, and while none of us ever forgot, we moved on and made peace. It was that "Indian sense of humour" that made my mom the special lady she was, and everyone remembers her for that and her incredible wit. I think all of her sisters had that wit in equal measure, and they made the house rock with laughter when they all came together.
She made a great "gramma" too, after she came to understand her own past, and forgave herself for her own role in making my young life chaotic. She never believed the stories I told her of sexual violence, and while never raped, I had a lot of sexual experiences from her friends and family that deeply influenced my perception of myself, and the choices I made when I was young. She finally believed me when I began to teach and work with personal and community healing and had to tell my story to others. She fought the truth, but in the end she made amends by going to speak to those men she knew and giving them hell. Thanks for that mom. She died at 75 years old, and by that time we had not only made peace, we had learned to hug each other and say "I love you" right out loud and often.
My daughters benefitted from the choices I made as a parent, I nursed them, twin girls, for two years. I took them everywhere and I listened to them. I followed their lead when they were frightened and I believed them when they spoke. Since I developed hyper-vigilance as a child I used that to protect them and I still use it today to stay tuned to my environment. It was a gift out of the chaos of an IRS legacy. My mom became the grandmother she never had growing up with strangers. She said the biggest loss in her own life was not knowing her parents, so she made sure my girls knew her very well, and they were her biggest achievement. She sure knew how to show and say I love you to them, and it shows in their own ability to love.
Even though I dropped out of school at 16 years old, I returned and completed my high school education at 23. Today, at 58 years old I have a Masters Degree and a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Toronto. My girls are doing well, and although we miss the wit and laughter my mom gifted us with, we have good lives. I now hold the position of Vice Provost (Aboriginal Initiatives) at Lakehead University in NW Ontario and have dedicated the rest of my career to ensuring the children of Nishnawbe Aski have the education and encouragement they need to succeed and rebuild their First Nation communities. This is my return of the gift they gave me when they allowed me the privilege of living amongst them in 2000-2001 to complete my doctoral research on the effects of Intergenerational Trauma on Indigenous Populations. They are an incredibly gracious people and I am eternally grateful.
What does my life look like as an intergenerational survivor? Fabulous, and I can confirm unequivocally, there are many more just like me, with amazing lives, happy families, well educated children, and goals and dreams just like everyone else. We will reconstitute our cultures and languages and we will prevail, because the laughter, the wit, and the sheer determination running through our veins and our Nations will ensure it. Yes, there are still people in pain; there will always be struggles, and a deep respect for those who are still striving for happiness. My hands and my heart are extended to you, for you and I are one. We will carry the gift of being indigenous into the future, and we will survive.

Home News & Community Publisher's Note: Yes, We're Daily Now
Publisher's Note: Yes, We're Daily Now
Our digital audience is growing all the time.
By Steve Geppi - February 2014
Publisher's Note: February 2014
As you'll see as you move past my little space here, this issue has a lot going for it besides our first-ever cover story on the irresistible allure Charm City has for those with a sweet tooth.
From our interviews with Baltimoreans who experienced firsthand the desegregation of city schools 60 years ago and a profile of our highly decorated Olympian (no, it's not who you're thinking) to our look at the health of the Hippodrome Theatre, there's plenty of serious reading beyond the sweets story to engage the calorie-wary reader. But the print version of the magazine you're holding isn't the whole story this month.
As ever, through our website—which, judging by our 2.2 million annual page views, most readers know about—and our social media presence (which many of you may not know about), we're engaging our readers on multiple platforms.
We use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest to bring our audience elements from the magazine in various formats. On Pinterest, for instance, you'll see timely photos, recipes, or home décor ideas from the magazine, while on Instagram we post photos from around Baltimore on a daily basis. On Twitter, we can update our audience on breaking news, while on Facebook, we have exclusive giveaways and highlight our feature stories.
When was the last time you actually wrote a letter to the editor and mailed it—with an actual stamp? You're not alone. In addition to e-mailed letters to the editor, we get a lot of great reactions from readers on Facebook and Twitter.
So, you're thinking it's just the younger set availing themselves of these new tools? Think again—the majority (54 percent) of our audience on Facebook, as an example, is 35 years or older.
And what about the website? Its content, too, is changing every day. This month, for instance, you can be part of our sweets showdown, in which desserts are pitted against each other in a bracket-style competition. Readers decide which dessert advances in the competition. And don't miss our digital Valentine's Day roundup, which includes things like date-night ideas and V-day restaurant and bar specials.
If you're not part of our digital scene, you should check it out. For readers, it's fun and immediate. And for us, it's an invaluable source of feedback from people like you.

Nolan Bushnell Net Worth
February 5, 1943(79)
Nolan Bushnell Net Worth: Nolan Bushnell is an American engineer and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $50 million. Nolan Bushnell was born in Clearfield, Utah in February 1943.He is best known for being the founder of both Atari, Inc. and Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza-Time Theaters. He graduated from the University of Utah College of Engineering in 1968.
Bushnell was one of the computer science students who played the Spacewar! Game on DEC mainframe computers. He worked at an amusement park and became interested in arcade games. In 1969 he formed Syzygy with Ted Dabney and produced Spacewar clone Computer Space. The company became Atari, Inc. in 1972. The company released the Atari 2600 which revolutionized home gaming and also the video game Pong. In 1976 Bushnell was offered a stake in Apple but he declined. Atari had more than $1 billion in annual sales by 1982 and became the fastest growing company in American business history. Nolan purchased Pizza Time Theatre from Warner Communications in 1977. It became Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre and entered bankruptcy in 1984. Bushnell has been inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame and the Consumer Electronics Association Hall of Fame. He has been named of the "50 Men Who Changed America" by Newsweek. He is the co-founder and chairman of Brainrush which is an educational software company that uses video game technology. He has started more than 20 companies and is credited with Bushnell's Law which states that games that are easy to learn and difficult to master are rewarding. In 2014, Bushnell discussed his time with Atari in the documentary Atari: Game Over, while continuing to explore other fields of science and technology through his financial investments as well as in an advisory capacity. In 2017, he got involved in robots of a non-singing-rodent variety by joining the board of directors at robotics software platform called Perrone Robotics.

Can a make-believe character have an ethnicity?
The dreamers at Disney encountered this question when they recently got an earful as the ethnicity of its latest Disney Princess, Sofia, came in to question.
Sofia, who is about to make her royal debut in the animated series "Sofia the First" was originally reported to be a Latina. However, some Latino advocacy groups soon questioned why the red-haired, blue-eyed Sofia didn't look like most dark-haired Latinos; after all, Princess Tiana is clearly black. Princess Pocahontas is clearly American Indian. Why not a more traditionally Hispanic princess?
That's when the folks at Disney clarified to the media that Sofia is not actually a Latina after all, but instead a little girl from a make-believe land called Enchantia. Her world, it was pointed out, is not the same as our world. It was just inspired by it.
Sigh. Once again, well-meaning grown-ups are stinking it up for the kids.
My brown-eyed, dark-haired 5-year-old has dozens of dolls, but only one that looks like her — Baby Snow White, from the Disney Princess line of infant dolls. And although her looks have elevated her to Beloved Toy category, the question of Snow White's skin color — or ethnicity — has never come up.
On the other hand, we used to watch Disney's "Handy Manny" every day. Manny is a bilingual, resourceful handyman who speaks English with an accent, as do some of the tools in his toolbox. He helps out his neighbors, goes fishing with his grandfather and likes soccer. The accordion-rich opening theme song is by Los Lobos. And it was noted early on that Manny speaks Spanish just as we do, as do her grandparents. And there is little doubt that Disney meant to send that message when they created Manny, and we'd still be watching it if we hadn't moved on to more sophisticated favorites.
After all, the people who created the Magic Kindgom have been at this for a while. And while toys that reflect our looks and culture are nice, those parameters are by no means limits.
The argument that Latinos, the fastest growing segment of the American population, are underrepresented in the totally made-up Disney Princess category, is understandable. After all, the omission is glaring in a group of princesses that includes just about everyone else. It's not that they don't recognize the market. Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Vanessa Hudgens all rose to fame through Disney. A Latina princess is a lucrative idea the corporation should be wanting to put forth. They should jump at the chance.
But Disney doesn't owe anybody a Latina princess. Don't like the omission? Don't buy the stuff. Good luck with that; my own princess wouldn't take such extreme measures in stride.
Most of us have only a few years to look through the lens of make-believe; a kid can look in the mirror, see past a mop of black curly hair and dark olive skin, and still see Cinderella or the Little Mermaid.

Mr. James M. "Boo Boo" Winston, Jr.
UTICA/LAS VEGAS, NV - Mr. James M. Winston, Jr. (affectionately known as Boo Boo) went into the loving arms of the Lord on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 when he passed away unexpectedly in his home in Las Vegas, Nevada. Born in Utica on August 20, 1977, James was the son of James "Jim", Sr. and Dawn (Rucker) Winston. He was a graduate of T.R. Proctor High School and continued his education at MVCC where he majored in Welding. James had a passion for cars. He owned and operated Winston's Auto on Mortimer Street in Utica. He had a natural aptitude and a gifted mind in diagnosing and fixing any mechanical problem. He could listen to your car and tell you exactly what was wrong. He was always right! Boo Boo was a gentle giant, and he treated his customers with kindness. Caring about his community, he would often repair a vehicle at no cost if the owner didn't have the means. Recently, he traveled for work to various states, but his last years were spent working in Las Vegas with his mechanical skills. James is survived by his parents, James Sr. and Dawn; his sons, James M. Winston III, and Christian James Winston; his sisters, Alicia Winston-Dix of Florida, Janelle Winston of New York City, Deanna Winston of Alabama, and Chavon Rucker of Buffalo; and his nephews, Mikel Dix and Jordyn Dix. James also had a special relationship with Braco Mujagic, who he felt was more of a brother than a friend. He is also survived by his godfather, Willie T. Barnes; his godson, Sammy Mujagic; little buddies, Adin, and Angel; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. James was predeceased by his maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Rucker; paternal grandparents, Fred and Olga Winston; his godmother, Bessie Tanner; aunts, Sharon Chastine, Gwendolyn Harper, and Carrie Rucker; and uncles, Johnnie Winston, and Ashby Vess. Visitation will be held Monday morning from 11:00-12:00 noon at the Eannace Funeral Home, 932 South St, corner of Hammond Ave. Due to current restrictions, we will be operating at a reduced occupancy. We ask for your patience as we try to accommodate those coming to support the Winston family. Face masks must be worn and contact tracing will be implemented. The family will honor Boo Boo's life in a private Home Going Service and Celebration of Life. Interment will take place in Forest Hill Cemetery at the convenience of the family. Please take a moment to connect with James' family through the "Memories" section of his obituary. Our prayers go out to all as a sign of our continued support. On James' graduation day, he rode up on Genesee Street bouncing in his custom 1964 Chevy Impala complete with hydraulics. He bounced the car so much that it split completely down the middle. He made a very late and memorable entrance! A Special Thank You to the Andrews family of Las Vegas, Nevada. He loved you all! The Winston family would like to thank everyone for their support, calls, texts, flowers and cards.
