NABJ/NAHJ16: It was epic!
By Sandra Gonzalez | August 14th, 2016
I'm still coming down from the clouds as I write. The recent NABJ/NAHJ16 joint conference in Washington, D.C. earlier this month was the first of its kind, bringing the nation's two largest minority journalism organizations: National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists together under one roof. It was epic!
I was blessed to be part of this historic undertaking, representing NAHJ as Programming Co-Chair. The conference was legendary, bringing national newsmakers, decision makers, and journalists of color together to tackle many of the tough discussions in our newsrooms and in our communities. We dealt with the friction in our nation's numerous deadly shootings from Orlando to Dallas, the mountainous task of immigration reform, and the intense divide as the presidential election day nears.
Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was our guest at our first-time joint convention, briefly laying out the highlights of her economic plan for becoming president, including a plan for a path for citizenship for those undocumented in the United States and vowing not to break up families. Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump was also invited.
An estimated 3,000-plus African-American and Latino journalists not only benefited from a plethora of sessions and workshops, the exhibit hall was packed. Major media companies were among the corporations, agencies and universities represented from across the country. It was electrifying! A colleague of mine there to recruit told me we need to do this again. Other conference leaders say they've heard the same thing.
Personally, I love the reunions, the opportunities to meet leaders from so many media organizations face to face, and education, especially about technology.
This kind of collaboration is a smart model, one that news organizations continue to adopt and as our industry's economy continues to remain tight. It seemed to work well the last few years, when Excellence in Journalism partnered with the National Association of Hispanic Journalists., SPJ will so again in 2017.
Our Executive Director of NAHJ Alberto Mendoza is focusing on scholarships, training, leadership, and partnership. And a new President Brandon Benavides and a new board has been elected ready to move NAHJ into the future and forward with Excellence in Journalism in 2017.

Tension in America
By Sandra Gonzalez | September 4th, 2014
As race relations continue to be strained from the recent attention on Ferguson, Missouri where a police officer shot a young African American man, Michael Brown; or the journey of Central American children rushing to cross the United States border, we as journalists are covering these stories.
Emotions run high when people hear or read the news on these matters of racial strife or immigration. It reminds me of the daunting responsibility we have as journalists to tell these stories, and to always remember the power of our words and images.
It is with great pride to see journalism organizations like SPJ get involved when it becomes a challenge with law enforcement to cover stories such as the Ferguson protests. When events like the unrest in Ferguson erupt, we are out there on the front lines, with our notepads, mics and cameras. It is tough to be in the middle of chaotic incidents, but we are there, trying to get the story for our communities.
Let us stick with these stories, report the aftermath, the healing, and the efforts to solve the chaotic situations. May we learn something and pass these lessons on to others.
As the Excellence in Journalism Conference in Nashville gets underway this week, there are so many opportunities to grow and reflect on the issues before us.
A panel titled "Lessons from Ferguson" will explore the conflicts and challenges journalists faced in Missouri.
We can also learn about the dangers our fellow journalists are facing covering stories in Mexico.
And, the panel 'Race Coverage: 50 years of change', will explore how far journalism has come in reporting on race, and how far it still has to go.
Finally, there is also a panel looking at issues of states requiring IDs to vote, and states issuing drivers licenses to undocumented residents.
There is so much happening across our country, and so much to learn as we share these stories with the masses. I'm looking forward to the EIJ conference, because the knowledge we will be able to gain, will only make our news coverage better.

"Fruitvale Station": Watch, Absorb and Learn
By Cheryl Devall | August 17th, 2013
Who's News is inviting top journalists and journalism educators to share their thoughts on inclusion in the news. Here, public radio journalist Cheryl Devall comments on "Fruitvale Station," a film that offers journalists much to contemplate.
It took lo ng enough, but I finally did it. My criteria for seeing "Fruitvale Station" were pretty specific, so I didn't rush out the weekend it opened.
I wanted to enter and leave the theater in broad daylight – a late night screening would inch too close to bedtime and nightmares. No spoiler alert needed here: The film begins with mobile phone footage of the true nightmare, the shooting of 22-year-old Oscar Grant III at an Oakland, Calif., BART station by a transit cop. The rest of the events early on New Year's Day 2009 unfold in flashbacks. These help to illuminate the human beings beyond the headlines and protests.
I didn't want to go to the show hungry. This is not a popcorn movie. Truth is, I didn't expect my mouth to water as the people in the movie dish up seafood gumbo the way my family also does on holidays.
The laughs, I wasn't expecting. So much of the banter between Oscar and the people in his circle is just plain funny. So many of the details are gut-level familiar. Shot on location in Oakland, the independent film conveys the texture of African American and Latino neighborhoods everywhere – the street corners crammed with fast-food joints and check-cashing outlets, the modest houses with trim lawns on the outside and well-worn recliners on the inside, the mismatched paint on the walls of low-rent apartments.
"Fruitvale Station," a Sundance Festival favorite, brought to mind another deliberately paced slice of life from an earlier era, "Nothing But A Man."
In that low-budget feature from1964, the protagonist wanders from a menial job on a railroad work crew through a succession of situations and relationships trying to establish his place in the world. Neither film offers direct comment on the larger national context – the civil rights revolution in one case, the dawn of the Obama era in the other – yet each drives home its points in powerfully understated ways.
That's why I wanted to see the newer movie in my own neighborhood, at the theater formerly known as the Magic Johnson multiplex.
Not only because it's within walking distance from my place. Every show in this theater happens in Sensurround. Audiences talk back to the screen, and during "Fruitvale Station" they weighed in with knowing commentary from beginning to end. Especially the end. Sobs and catcalls punctuated the epilogue text, and just before the credits rolled, somebody proclaimed, "This ain't through."
The author is a veteran public radio journalist who lives in Los Angeles.

Historic Journalism Conference With Addition of NAHJ
By Sandra Gonzalez | July 2nd, 2013
This is going to be one mega-journalism conference! It's nothing new for journalism organizations to join together for one big convention, but this year history is being made with the National Association of Hispanic Journalists joining forces with the Society of Professional Journalists and the Radio Television Digital News Association. NAHJ has never joined forces with SPJ and RTDNA before, for a mega-conference but this year they are all part of the Excellence in Journalism Conference in Anaheim, California.
Journalists learning investigative techniques at NAHJ Conference
Financially speaking, this is a dream come true for me. I am a long time member of NAHJ, but a newer member of SPJ and devoted to both. Since I'm on a budget and in a new job where it's also not easy to get time off to attend both, this year I get to be at both, all under the same roof along with about 1,400 other journalists. Even better, a journalism conference being held in Orange County, where I was raised and went to college.
As SPJ's Diversity Chairman, I'm really impressed because three major journalism organizations will be together where diversity can't be missed, and journalists will be able to see what an important role it plays in our communities and in our coverage.
Learning lighting at NAHJ Conference 2011
While I will be spending time with the 2013 SPJ Diversity Fellows, I can't help but think what a great opportunity this conference will offer them. They'll be networking with great journalists from all over the country in all kinds of positions whether it's in management, news-gathering, or independent freelancing; and be absorbing diversity and journalism before their eyes.
"It's my hope that during this event there will be an interest on SPJ from NAHJ members, and other Latino journalists that are also in SPJ, will see the benefit of such a partnership and the importance of diversity of its own organizations relevant for future growth," said NAHJ President Hugo Balta.
Members from RTDNA, SPJ, and NAHJ will be intermingled and able to attend sessions and workshops, and still hold their individual award banquets and events.
"We're just looking forward to what we think is going to be a really successful event," said RTDNA Chairman Vincent Duffy.
Linda Ellerbee speaking to crowds at Excellence In Journalism/New Orleans 2011
"I think that it's excellent that we're having this in the western part of the country because the Hispanic population is so significant there," Duffy said, "Bringing NAHJ in to participate in the creation of the program and at the creation of events, it sort of keeps the diversity issue front and center throughout the whole planning process and I think it will just add to the convention."
NAHJ is dedicated to the recognition and the professional advancement of Hispanics in the news industry, as well as fostering and promoting fair treatment of Hispanics by the media.
RTDNA serves the electronic news profession and is dedicated to setting standards for news gathering and reporting. SPJ promotes the free flow of information and works to protect the guarantees of freedom of speech and press. These two organizations have been working together in recent years to bring the Excellence in Journalism Conference to their memberships.
SPJ President Sonny Albarado is very supportive of this year's addition of NAHJ to EIJ.
"Mentoring SPJ Diversity Leadership participants reconnected me to my own Hispanic roots and strengthened my commitment to improve the diversity of SPJ's membership and leadership pool. It seems a natural evolution, then, for the National Association of Hispanic Journalists to partner with SPJ and RTDNA at EIJ13 in Anaheim," Albarado said.
The workshops and sessions are well planned and are tailored for all career levels which is very important to NAHJ President Hugo Balta.
"…training newsroom leaders, behind the camera. decision makers, journalists who are in charge of molding the content, and I think that will help us in expanding the breadth of our programming," Balta said.
All three organizations are not only looking forward to this new venture but perhaps what the future holds.
The Excellence in Journalism Conference is August 24-26 in Anaheim, CA.

Journalists visit UNLV: say embrace our own diversity
By Sandra Gonzalez | June 16th, 2013
(Guest Blog by Pashtana Usufzy/UNLV SPJ President)
As president of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Society of Professional Journalists, I find myself in charge of planning quite a few events. When the time came to hold our first member meeting of the spring semester, I desperately needed ideas. While clicking on every link on the SPJ website, I ran across a copy of the organization's mission.
Hoping for ideas, I read through it.
We'd held a meeting on service a few weeks earlier, and a First Amendment discussion seemed a little intense for the first meeting. ("Here's your pizza and soda. Now, quick, which freedoms are guaranteed by the First Amendment?) I kept scrolling down — "foster excellence … inspire successive generations … encourage diversity in journalism."
Diversity — now that I could work with.
The topic stood out. UNLV has consistently been ranked as one of the most diverse college campuses in the country. We have students from every walk of life. We represent numerous countries, religions, ethnicities — different genders and sexual orientations. It made sense for our chapter to ask: Where's the diversity in the local journalism field? What role does that play in the politics of the newsroom, and is our news as inclusive as it should be?
Our board members went to work. We began planning and advertising a discussion on the diversity of our community and our local news market. I invited Antonio Planas of the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Chris Saldaña, a local broadcast news personality, to be our speakers.
On the day of, I was nervous. Our meeting didn't have a huge turnout; I blamed myself for picking a Friday morning meeting date and expecting college kids to be awake. The members who were there, however, wanted to get the meeting going, and our speakers said the students deserved their attention.
We didn't draw in a classroom full of students, but our speakers made such a tremendous impact upon the students who did attend.
Planas and Saldaña played off of each other so well. They discussed their own experiences as Hispanic journalists covering the news. They talked about missteps by reporters in covering our city's diverse population, and they told us to embrace our own diversity and bring it to our reporting.
UNLV's SPJ Chapter had broadcast news journalist Chris Saldaña and reporter Antonio Planas visit to discuss diversity in the news.
They described efforts to make colleagues aware of potentially offensive characterizations of minorities, but they also described how important it is for all groups to participate in the discussion on diversity.
They asked each student: Who are you, and what kind of diversity do you bring to the table?
I'll admit it: I sometimes have a hard time speaking up in a newsroom full of much more experienced writers. Saldaña and Planas assured me that my opinion could help shed light on an overlooked group. It's better to speak up, they said, than to be embarrassed by an inaccurate story or have your news organization appear out of touch.
They emphasized that we as journalists must examine the diversity of our environment, especially in a state with such an increasingly diverse population.
As student SPJ leaders, we try to bring the lessons SPJ emphasizes to the attention of our campus. We want members to get a taste of the professional world, but we also hope they'll discover a bit of the kind of journalist they'd like to be. Our speakers that day helped us accomplish our goal.
Our attendees stayed afterward to discuss how they felt about the panel. Our small group of students could now raise questions, share its views with others.
Most importantly, the discussion could keep going, and that meant more to us than anything.

UNITY 12 audience says online news must add color, offers structural remedies
By Sally Lehrman | August 9th, 2012

The train has left the station – and the good ol' boy network is recreating itself. That was the call to action voiced by a disgruntled audience member at Digital & Diversity, a town hall at UNITY '12 on what diversity means in the digital age. Despite new tools, technologies, and business models, newsrooms are nearly as monochrome and male-dominated as a quarter century ago, participants said.
White male entrepreneurs seem to enjoy implicit favor in venture funding and grants, they observed. Worse yet, the high-speed, high-volume news environment is prone to offensive slips like ESPN's infamous headline, "Chink in the Armor" — a reference to NBA star Jeremy Lin and an uneven stretch of games for his New York Knicks. Merely through inattention to inclusion, old hierarchies and habits have come right back.
The troubled digital space, though, still holds great opportunity for creating more honest, inclusive coverage, some speakers pointed out. Groups who feel shut out from the news can tell their own stories. Identity-specific news outlets and blogs such as Latina Lista, Native News Network and Pam's House Blend can quickly hold other journalists accountable, improving the quality of the context we all offer. Partnerships across race, gender and sexual orientation bring stronger, more interesting ideas into everyone's content.
There's still time to reshape the news, some speakers proposed, by weaving inclusion right into the structure of news gathering and delivery. Audience members identified six key areas for attention:
• Build inclusive coverage into journalism programs from introductory courses on up.
• Ensure that journalism education and internships are available across the demographic spectrum, through grants and fair application processes.
• Press funders and venture capitalists to reinvent applications and decision-making processes so that entrepreneurs from all backgrounds get an equal chance.
• Encourage other types of support for journalists of color, LGBT entrepreneurs and women to own their own news outlets.
• Obtain a commitment by existing news outlets – whether online only or legacy – to an inclusive management and staff, and track their progress.
• Insist on ethical coverage that pays attention to inclusivity and fairness, and ask hard questions about representation and accuracy.
Focus on a broken system, the audience insisted, not piecemeal problem-solving. About 100 attendees raised concerns and proposed solutions at the session, which was opened by Bill Celis, associate director and associate professor at the USC Annenberg School of Journalism. I helped guide the conversation with Dori Maynard, president of the Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education in Oakland, Calif., and Evelyn Hsu, the Maynard Institute's senior director of programs and operations.

A Look at Unity 2012 in Las Vegas
By Sandra Gonzalez | August 6th, 2012
Unity 2012
What a historic UNITY Convention it was in Las Vegas! This was my fourth UNITY, but definitely my most memorable. First of all, I have to say I missed my friends from the National Association of Black Journalists. There was electricity in the air at this UNITY 2012, but NABJ's absence was felt since they parted ways last year.
Opening night was emotional. On stage, UNITY President Joanna Hernandez said to NABJ that UNITY would "welcome you back with open arms." While NABJ was for the most part invisible, the National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association was warmly welcomed into the fold. The UNITY family however dropped the extended part of the name "Journalists of Color".
To kick off UNITY, a plenary of journalists representing each journalism association talked about the challenges of diversity in the media from the past, present, and future of our changing industry. One guest, sports columnist LZ Granderson, both a member of NABJ and NLGJA ended up getting into a heated debate after the event with NABJ's President and Vice President. Granderson had told the crowd about being both gay and black that "diversity is more than skin."
LZ Granderson and NABJ leaders
The public disagreement was just one example of the passion and the pain still stirring after the changes of UNITY following the split of NABJ and addition of NGLJA.
While UNITY has morphed in the past year, social media has changed the flavor of UNITY this time around, "tweeting" in particular. Controversy was the talk of the convention when a student UNITY reporter was told she could not "tweet" at a National Association of Hispanic Journalists board meeting. The incident made big news at the convention, putting NAHJ in the spotlight and a "tweeting" policy that was spoken but not written.
NAHJ had already been experiencing high emotion during a heated election that at times was explosive on social media especially in the presidential race. Elections results were released Friday night at the NAHJ Gala, naming Hugo Balta as the new NAHJ President. Also, SPJ Diversity Committee Vice Chairman Rebecca Aguilar was elected NAHJ Vice President of Online.
New NAHJ President, Hugo Balta
At Balta's very first board meeting, a motion made by Aguilar to repeal the the "No Tweet" policy was passed in a 6-5 vote.
UNITY has changed as the media industry has changed trying to keep up with the public's hunger to communicate on the web. One thing hasn't changed though: the need to keep the pressure on for diversity in those newsrooms. I was glad to see companies were hiring, and I hope the healing process continues within UNITY, and that soon NABJ will return.

Joni Mitchell Plans To Follow Neil Young Off Spotify, Citing 'Lies'
Joni Mitchell said Friday that she would remove her music from Spotify, joining Neil Young in his protest against the streaming service over its role in giving a platform to Covid-19 vaccine misinformation.
Mitchell, an esteemed singer-songwriter of songs like "Big Yellow Taxi," and whose landmark album "Blue" just had its 50th anniversary, posted a brief statement on her website Friday saying that she would remove her music from the streaming service. "Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives," she wrote. "I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue."
Her statement adds fuel to a small but growing revolt over Spotify, with few major artists speaking out but fans commenting widely on social media. The debate has also brought into relief questions about how much power artists wield to control distribution of their work, and the perennially thorny issue of free speech online.
Spotify took Young's music down on Wednesday, two days after he posted an open letter calling for its removal as a protest against "The Joe Rogan Experience," Spotify's most popular podcast, which has been criticized for spreading misinformation about the coronavirus and vaccines.
He did so after a group of hundreds of scientists, professors and public health experts had asked Spotify to take down an episode of Rogan's show from Dec. 31 that had featured Dr. Robert Malone, an infectious-disease expert. The scientists wrote in a public letter that the program promoted "several falsehoods about Covid-19 vaccines."
Mitchell is the first major artist to follow Young, after a couple of days of speculation and rumors on social media.
Young and Mitchell have a deep history together. Both are Canadians who helped lead the singer-songwriter revolution in Southern California in the late 1960s and 1970s.
On Spotify, Mitchell is listed as having 3.7 million monthly listeners, with two of her songs – "Big Yellow Taxi" and "A Case of You" – getting over 100 million streams.
While few other major artists have spoken out so far, Young's stance has resonated widely with fans. Twitter was dotted with the announcements of listeners saying they were canceling their subscriptions, and screenshots from Spotify's app showed a message from its customer support team saying that it was "getting a lot of contacts so may be slow to respond." Spotify has not said how many customers canceled their subscriptions.
Tech rivals have also pounced on the controversy, with SiriusXM restarting a Neil Young channel and Apple Music calling itself "The home of Neil Young."
In a statement on his website on Friday, Young reiterated his objections to Rogan's podcast and took a swipe at Spotify's sound quality. He also said he supported free speech.
"I support free speech. I have never been in favor of censorship, "it said. "Private companies have the right to choose what they profit from, just as I can choose not to have my music support a platform that disseminates harmful information."

WSO2 adds rules server to SOA platform
WSO2 upgrades OSGi middleware
WSO2 debuts cloud platform for apps
WSO2 offers open source, componentized SOA
WSO2 debuts Eclipse-based IDE
Open source Carbon middleware platform gains a tool for building SOA and composite applications with greater ease
By Paul Krill
Editor at Large, InfoWorld |
WSO2 on Tuesday is debuting an Eclipse-based IDE for its open source Carbon middleware platform. The WSO2 Carbon Studio IDE helps developers build SOA and composite applications based on Carbon.
"We're now revving up our tooling support with WSO2 Carbon Studio -- helping developers to organize, develop, test, and deploy these composite applications with greater ease than ever before," said Sanjiva Weerawarana, founder and CEO of WSO2, in a statement released by the company.
[ WSO2 earlier this year introduced its cloud apps platform Stratos, which is part of the overall WSO2 Cloud platform, which also has featured SOA capabilities. | Keep up on the latest application development news with the Developer World newsletter. ]
Capabilities of the Carbon Studio IDE include the following:
The organization of artifacts spanning multiple runtimes, common to composite applications, into a single project called a Carbon Application (CApp). Such a project could, for example, encompass the configuration of a WSO2 ESB, the provisioning of a WSO2 Governance Registry, and BPEL for executing in the WSO2 Business Process Server.
The development of applications using tools for WSO2 Carbon products.
Testing and debugging of Carbon applications within the IDE.
The export of Carbon applications in the Carbon Archive format, which represents the entire project and simplifies deployment of composite applications.
Carbon products share a management console and provide a set of enterprise-class management, security, clustering, statistics, and other capabilities. This reduces integration complexity, WSO2 said.
Carbon Studio is available as a set of Eclipse plug-ins and is offered under Eclipse and Apache licenses. WSO2 offers support and service options.

We just ported a portal containing tens of thousands of documents from Abako Stato to Midgard CMS. Content conversion was done using Exorcist as usual.
Because the site included a biggish public discussion forum we decided to start right away from the current PEAR-packaged MidCOM site interface. MidCOM 2.4 had been causing severe performance issues on personalized sites, and we were a bit worried, especially as latest MidCOMs don't include the output caching system.
However, the new MidCOM 2.5 infrastructure proved to perform really well, getting us back to the MidCOM 2.2 branch performance levels where most sites really don't need any caches.
Using the upcoming Midgard 1.8 release will make MidCOM faster yet by about 5-10%.

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in constructing low volatility portfolios. These portfolios have shown significant outperformance when compared with the market capitalization-weighted portfolios. This study analyses the low volatility portfolios in South Africa using sectors instead of individual stocks as building blocks for portfolio construction. The empirical results from back-testing these portfolios show significant outperformance when compared with their market capitalization weighted equity benchmark counterpart (ALSI). In addition, a further analysis of this study delves into the construction of the low volatility portfolios using the Top 40 and Top 100 stocks. The results also show significant outperformance over the market-capitalization portfolio (ALSI), with the portfolios constructed using the Top 100 stocks having a better performance than portfolio constructed using the Top 40 stocks. Finally, the low volatility portfolios are also blended with typical portfolios (ALSI and the SWIX indices) in order to establish their usefulness as effective portfolio strategies.

slow… werewolf after 2 bays aiming for slow jedi if I can lose all the weight put on dining in the St Kilda cafes.
Two bays .. Tarawera 60K.. oaks firetrail in reverse (27K all uphill) .. K reps .. double session once a week.
keep the virginity .. then you will not have to explain to the world why you holiday in Queenstown at the end of April each year. If you do make the step train hard and then train harder .. we only have foothills here .. I find hill reps help but you do need the relentless effort of long runs under the hammer for a long period .. hence the oaks mentioned above.
Tri's .. therefore I practise stone floating and road cycle and MTB training.
mainly vegan food except at the Skyline once a year. what is this word recovery ????? is this some new age training method … recovery for me is a 10K road race after the most horrendous 56K offroad race the Sunday before. I do back off for Routeburn .. It still scares me a lot, but do I look forward to it. recovery after Routeburn last time was a freezing run up Ben Lomond in the snow.
… everything especially the finish and the feed at night and reading the comments from all concerned Esp the man Evan.
I feel that docs have made the course a lot easier especially in the first part .. get out on on the rough stuff as much as you can .. my training for the two bays run was Routeburn specific and I never once hit the required cutoff pace (for the 28K turn ) once in training. As the training was over much more awkward terrain I made the turn with minutes to spare and was able to take my time over the last 28K and still get my medal. So if the training is easy , make it tougher unless you are in a hole or injured. I will basically run myself to a standstill until 2 weeks out ( This will include the Tarawera 60k in March) and then the Sunday before I leave for NZ run an all out 12K tough trail run. Then just jog and swim.
see you all in April … make sure your Paypal account is working.
And a vote of thanks to the sorcerer for working his magic again.


In all of the varieties of wigs, cheap human hair lace wigs are the most realistic and loved. Made from hair that's individually knotted onto a lace base, a professionally applied lace wig is virtually indistinguishable from real hair.they include full lace wigs and lace front wig that both offer free part,free style,natural hairline. Because of this quality, lace wigs are favorites of women who have lost their hair for medical reasons, such as chemotherapy, as well as for costume departments of theaters and film studios. Though they're naturally realistic, you need to follow a few guidelines to make your lace wig look more natural.
The most popular lace wig types are:lace front wigs and full lace wigs now.
Trim the excess lace off your lace wig before you wear it. Often, this is something that the wig seller will do for you to ensure that it is a good fit. If not, just cut the excess off with sharp fabric scissors, leaving about a 1/4-inch strip of lace for better fit.
Have the lace dyed to match your skin tone, which will make the lace virtually undetectable and aid in the realistic look of your wig. To do this at home, use a fabric dye close in tone to your skin, and no darker. Dip a cotton swab into the dye and apply wherever the lace will be visible, such as at the part or around your hairline.
Add an anti-fray product designed for cloth to the edge of the lace if it starts to fray. You can find these products at craft and fabric stores, or you can purchase an anti-fray product online like Aleene's stop Fraying.
Use a wide-tooth comb and a vent brush for styling your lace wig, since both of these will reduce the pull on the hair. Go slow when removing tangles to protect your lace wig.
Wash your lace wig with gentle shampoo designed for color-treated hair, followed by a deep-conditioning treatment. A shampoo or conditioner that offers UV protection is essential if you'll be wearing your lace wig on a regular condition.
Hide your hair before you put on your lace wig or you will destroy the illusion. If you have short hair, you can simply pin your hair so that it is all against your skull. Long hair is most manageable it you fashion it into braids that hug your head. However you hide your hair, the goal is to have a relatively smooth surface to sit on for your lace wig.
Hire a professional to apply your lace wig the first time if you want to have the most realistic look right from the beginning.

Experiencing the Void
When WaterShapes went all-digital back in July 2011, there was one big story looming in the print-magazine horizon: That summer, as finishing touches were being added to the National September 11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan, we were all set to offer a behind-the-scenes look at the fountain portion of the project in a September issue that never materialized. This missed opportunity with the memorial has been somewhere in
Mist and Mystery
As though it werent apparent by now, when i travel, look for watershapes.< p > It' s been a professional practice of mine since 1986, when i started working at pool & spa news, but it was established as personal habit long before then. even child (and my parents could attest if they were still with us), drawn to water wherever went This means I've seen and studied lots of fountains through the years. It also means that I pay lots of attention when I run into an unconventional one, as was certainly the case with the Tanner Fountain on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. When I saw its arrangement of stones and the wonderful way it uses mist to make the space mysterious yet strangely inviting, I was hooked. Designed by landscape architect Peter Walker in collaboration with sculptor Joan Brigham and fountain expert Richard Chaix, the watershape sits along a busy pedestrian thoroughfare near Harvard Yard. An early and perhaps even the first example of the "Landscape as Art" movement that started at Harvard around the time the fountain was installed in 1984, the composition consists of concentric rings of granite boulders looping around 32 jets located near the center. The jets produce water sprays and a dense mist that envelops the stones like a cloud. When I first saw the Tanner Fountain, I was immediately reminded of the inverted fountain on the UCLA campus, which I wrote about in a travelogue back in June 2013 (click here). But where the effect of the UCLA fountain was to inspire mirth (at least to my somewhat twisty mind), the Tanner Fountain simply inspires, especially on days when the air is still and the mist has its way with the space. The video linked below shows the layout of the stones and how their placement invites observers to come close, pass within the rings and approach the source of the mist. My big regret is that I missed seeing the space covered in snow - a phenomenon that puts a completely different spin on the composition. But I still count myself lucky: I saw it on a warm late-summer day when the cooling mist was unusually welcome. In short, I love this fountain. The next time you're in the area, stop on by - and please give yourself enough time to observe the space at your leisure, especially taking in the way people (especially children, if any are around) interact with the mist: It's a treat on more levels than I can count.

Cannabis potency tests improving as legalization gets closer
By Kerry McAthey May 21, 2018
With legalization on the horizon, pot potency is top of mind. The strength and effects of cannabis products are going to be an integral part of legalization.
A team of researchers from the University of British Columbia Okanagan is working on streamlining the process of testing the potency of marijuana. One member of the team told the Alberta Morning News, it's mostly based on improving existing processes.
"We have developed a new testing protocol that basically speeds things up," Matt Noesthedon said. "It doesn't directly impact the producers, but indirectly it does – they can get their product tested faster, which means they can get it to market faster."
The active compounds that Health Canada and marijuana producers are most interested in are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD). But the BC researchers are interested in looking at many more components of cannabis.
"There's a lot of other similar compounds that the jury is still out on as far as what their biological activity is," Noesthedon explained.
"But there's strong evidence that they do have an impact on your person when you ingest the cannabis product."
The purpose of testing the other elements present in cannabis is what Noesthedon called "future proofing." If they can identify all the factors that contribute to potency, they won't find themselves back to the drawing board in a few years looking for new methods of testing.
Current tests are able to assign a number value of potency to dried marijuana, concentrated oils and edibles, such as cookies or brownies.
"Using some advanced analytical instrumentation, we can give you an exact number for the different bio-active compounds that are in the cannabis," Noesthedon said.
As the legalization process continues, producers will have to get their products tested based on these standards. All the data will be recorded and provided to Health Canada as a matter of record.
"It's a very well-regulated process," Noesthedon said.
"And I think that will benefit the cannabis users out there, to get them a more consistent and safer product for them to be consuming recreationally or medicinally."
While a date has not been officially set for marijuana legalization, Noesthedon said creating testing processes like the ones they are working on will be of the utmost importance for getting a variety of safe, high-quality cannabis products on the market.

A: You could use an Ajax request and update the DOM with the rendered action result.
In general you do not want to access a JSP page directly in an MVC app, though.
Another option would be to make a request to an action that simply forwards to the "real" action, essentially making an MVC system within an MVC system.
I don't understand why you'd want to hide the URL.

A: It sounds like to me you are asking for URL rewriting to hide ugly URLs.
This can be accomplished several ways

*

*Through Apache configs
URL Rewriting for Beginners

*Tomcat URL rewriting, although I've not had much tried this one
UrlRewriteFilter
Or through a rest type URL configuration:

*

*Through STRUTS2 Rest Support (not really rewriting)
REST Plugin
I generally use the REST plugin, you just have to be cognizant of the action method names you use. If you don't want it to be step1Struts2 don't name the method step1Struts2, call it process() or something otherwise less...ugly.

[G.R. No. L-35767. April 15, 1988.]
RAYMUNDO A. CRYSTAL, Petitioner, v. COURT OF APPEALS AND PELAGIA OCANG, PACITA, TEODULO, FELICISIMO, PABLO, LYDIA, DIOSCORA and RODRIGO, all surnamed DE GRACIA, Respondents.
Gonzales B. Callantes for Respondents.
1.	REMEDIAL LAW; JURISDICTION; LOST OF JURISDICTION BY REMAND OF CASE TO TRIAL COURT NOT REACQUIRED BY MERE MOTION. — G.R. No. L-35767 was terminated in this Court and became final and executory on July 30, 1976. The case has been remanded to the trial court which had also rendered its decision on the controversy. The Court no longer has jurisdiction in the case to resolve, by a mere motion therein, issues having to do with the right of parties to the case (National Investment and Development Corporation v. Angeles, 40 SCRA [1971]). When the case reaches the court again on appeal, then and only then will it regain jurisdiction over the case.
PARAS, J.:
This is an urgent motion for contempt and lifting of the temporary restraining order issued by the Court on April 16, 1975 enjoining the private respondents from taking possession of the four parcels of land under litigation in the petition for certiorari with preliminary injunction filed with the Court by petitioner Crystal on November 3, 1972.
The antecedents of the case are quoted from the decision of the Court promulgated on February 25, 1975, as follows:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"In Civil Case No. R-1666, of the Court of First Instance of Cebu, entitled Pelagia Ocang, Et. Al. v. Vidal Montayre, as administrator of the estate of Nicolas Rafols, judgment was rendered ordering the defendant to pay the plaintiffs P30,609.00 as damages. On appeal, this Court affirmed the decision of the trial court. After the judgment had become final, a writ of execution was issued and five (5) parcels of land belonging to the estate, situated at Toledo, Cebu, were on May 24, 1957 sold at public auction to Pelagia Ocang as the highest bidder for P10,000.00 (Annex 'A'). On May 17, 1958, the heirs of Nicolas Rafols assigned their right of redemption over four (4) of the five (5) parcels of land to Raymundo Crystal (Annex 'B'), which assignment was approved by the probate court on May 23, 1958. By virtue of the order, Crystal deposited a check for P11,200.00 with the Provincial Sheriff of Cebu on said date and on May 28, 1958, the Provincial Sheriff issued a deed of redemption (Annex 'C'). Crystal took possession of the lands and cultivated the same.
"In February 1960, Ocang took possession of the four (4) parcels of land, claiming that since the check for the redemption was dishonored for lack of sufficient funds, the redemption was null and void. Crystal then filed a motion in Civil Case No. R-1666 seeking to cite Ocang in contempt of court.
"On June 4, 1960, the trial court denied the motion to hold Ocang in contempt of court, observing that another action, and not contempt proceedings, is the proper proceeding where the validity of the redemption may be raised (Annex 'D').
"Following the observation of the trial court, Crystal filed Civil Case No. 62-T against Ocang seeking declaration of ownership in his favor, plus damages.
"During the pendency of Civil Case No. 62-T, however, Crystal was able to regain possession of the four (4) parcels of land.
"On June 23, 1969, the trial court in Civil Case No. R-1666 granted a writ of possession of the four (4) parcels of land to Ocang (Annex 'F').
"Upon Crystal's motion, the trial court set aside the order of June 23, 1969 and annulled the writ of possession issued in Ocang's favor.chanrobles.com.ph : virtual law library
"Ocang then moved to reconsider the order annulling the writ of possession, which motion was opposed by Crystal. The trial court held in abeyance the various incidents of the case.
"Subsequently, Ocang filed an ex-parte motion for the issuance of an alias writ of possession and this was reiterated on August 15, 1970.
"On May 31, 1971, the court issued an order reviving the order for the issuance of a writ of possession dated June 23, 1969 and declaring the definite deed of sale executed by the Provincial Sheriff of Cebu and the writ of possession issued by the clerk of court on June 24, 1969 in full force and effect (Annex 'I').
"Crystal moved to reconsider the order of May 31, 1971, which was, however, denied by the trial court (Annex 'K')."cralaw virtua1aw library
In view of the denial of his motion for reconsideration, petitioner filed with respondent Court of Appeals a petition for certiorari with preliminary injunction, CA-G.R. No. S.P.-00506, seeking the annulment and setting aside of the order of the Court of First Instance of Cebu in Civil Case No. R-1666 dated May 31, 1971. Responding Court of Appeals, however, dismissed the petition and lifted the preliminary injunction issued when the petition was filed (Rollo 1. 24). Hence, the petition for certiorari, with preliminary injunctions filed with this Court on November 3, 1972 (Rollo, p. 1).
On February 25, 1975 the Court rendered its decision ** on the petition, affirming the appealed decision of respondent Court of Appeals. The Court also ordered lifted the restraining order it had previously issued in the case (Rollo, p. 250). It, however, resolved to grant on April 18, 1975 the urgent motion of petitioner for extension of time to file a motion for reconsideration and issued a new temporary restraining order effective on the same date (Rollo, p. 268).
On April 25, 1975 petitioner filed his motion for reconsideration (Rollo, p. 272). After the opposition to the motion (Rollo, p. 380), reply to the opposition to the motion (Rollo, p. 408), and the rejoinder to petitioner's reply (Rollo, p. 417) had been submitted, the Court decided through a Resolution dated June 18, 1976, to reconsider and modify the decision promulgated on February 25, 1975 by remanding the case to the trial court for further proceedings. The proceedings contemplated are to be held in Civil Case No. R-1666, rendering academic Civil Case No. 62-T and another case reviewing the same, not specifically identified in the decision (Rollo, p. 434).
The decision as modified became final and executory on July 30, 1976 (Rollo, p. 446).
On February 23, 1979, exactly two years, six months and twenty-three days after the judgment had became final and executory, private respondents filed their urgent motion for contempt and for lifting the temporary restraining order (Rollo, p. 458). On June 3, 1986 one of the movants, Pablito Ocang de Gracia, filed a motion for resolution of the urgent motion for contempt and for lifting of the temporary restraining order (Rollo, p. 491). On July 14, 1986 the Court resolved to require the petitioner to comment on the motion (Rollo, p. 494).chanrobles virtual lawlibrary
The comment of petitioner on the motion of respondent Pablito O. de Gracia asking the Court for a resolution on their motion for contempt and to lift the temporary restraining order was filed on October 9, 1986 (Rollo, p. 495). The reply of private respondent and movant Pablito O. de Gracia was filed on January 23, 1987 (Rollo, p. 508); the rejoinder to the reply, on April 14, 1987 (Rollo, p. 518).
Private respondents impute the following acts to petitioner which according to them constitute grievous contempt committed against the Court:chanrob1es virtual 1aw library
a)	that petitioner Crystal deceitfully concealed from the Court the fact that Civil Case No. 62-T had already been dismissed on September 19, 1974, a year prior to his filing a motion for reconsideration of the decision of the Court promulgated on February 25, 1975; and
b)	that petitioner falsified the temporary restraining order issued by the Court on April 16, 1975 by intercalating or imposing at the bottom of said temporary restraining order a small sketch map of Cadastral Lot No. 4126, with intent to deceive and mislead the police that complied with it accordingly depriving respondents of the possession and enjoyment of Lot No. 4126 which in the Cadastral Survey of 1963 rightfully belongs to them (Rollo, p 460-462).
The issue of the dismissal of Civil Case No. 62-T was first brought up by respondents in their opposition to the motion for reconsideration filed by petitioner on April 25, 1975. The fact was admitted by petitioner in his reply to the opposition to the motion for reconsideration wherein petitioner explained that when he learned about the dismissal of the case, which was very much later he immediately instructed his counsel to file a motion for reconsideration or a petition for relief from judgment or order with the trial court. The counsel, however, decided to refile the case instead since the dismissal of the case was without prejudice (Rollo, p. 464) and the period for filing a petition for relief from judgment or order had already expired (Rollo, p. 409). It appears that the case had been refiled on April 15, 1975 as Civil Case No. 492-T (Rollo, p. 389). Respondents filed with the trial court a motion to dismiss the case on May 5, 1975 (Rollo, p. 396). Thus when petitioner filed his motion for reconsideration the case was indeed pending in the trial Court.
The Court granted petitioner's motion for reconsideration. In the light of the Court's ruling on the motion that "since it was the trial Court in that Civil Case No. R-1666 that rendered the judgment and subsequently ordered the execution sale from which the disputed redemption was made, it should be the one to settle the whole controversy among all the interested parties, including even the judgment debtors, the heirs of Nicolas Rafols themselves, who, according to the records, have claims of their own relative to the same redemption, which might just as well be inquired into in said case, rather than in Case No. 62-T in which they are not parties" it becomes irrelevant for the Court to delve further into the issue as to whether or not Civil Case No. 62-T had been dismissed by the trial court prior to petitioner's filing of his motion for reconsideration.chanrobles law library : red
As to the second ground raised by private respondents in their urgent motion for contempt there is no showing how at this point when Civil Case No. R-1666 had long became final and executory the restraining order issued by the Court on April 16, 1976 could still prejudice private respondents even with the alleged imposition at the bottom of the last page of the restraining order of a small sketch map of Cadastral Lot No. 4126. Petitioner was in possession of the lots in litigation at the time the petition for certiorari in G.R. No. L-35767 was filed. The Court then issued a restraining order to maintain the status quo, that is, to restrain respondent Court of Appeals and private respondents from implementing the decision of respondent Court dated September 13, 1972 affirming the order of the trial court in Civil Case No. R-1666 reviving its previous order for the issuance of a writ of possession in favor of private respondents. When this Court promulgated a decision in G.R. No. L-35767 on February 25, 1975 affirming the decision of respondent Court of Appeals, it ordered in the same decision the lifting of the temporary restraining order. It was upon the urgent motion of petitioner, for extension of time to file a motion for reconsideration that the Court again issued on April 16, 1975 the restraining Order which private respondents would now want lifted. The Court had reconsidered its decision of February 25, 1975 and had the case remanded to the trial court to continue the proceedings for the settlement of the whole controversy in Civil Case No. R-1666. The police force of Toledo City did not use the restraining order to dispossess private respondents of Lot No. 4126. Petitioner remained in possession of the lots in litigation since his filing of Civil Case No. 62-T in the Court of First Instance and throughout the pendency of G.R. No. L-35767 in the Court.
The trial court had already rendered a decision in Civil Case No. R-1666 on December 8, 1982, the dispositive portion of which was quoted by petitioner in his comment on the motion of respondent Pablito O. Gracia asking the Court for a resolution on their motion for contempt and to lift the temporary restraining order (Rollo, p. 496), as follows:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"In view of all the foregoing considerations, this Court hereby declares and so holds that respondents Pelagia Ocang and her children have been fully paid the redemption price of the four (4) parcels of land in dispute and therefore, the Deed of Redemption is hereby also declared valid and effective as of the date it was executed. Accordingly, petitioner-redemptioner, Raymundo Crystal, Filipino, of legal age, and married to Desamparados Crystal, is hereby declared owner of all the disputed parcels of land described in the Deed of Redemption executed by the Provincial Sheriff of Cebu in his favor in Civil Case No. 1666 which parcels are now known as Lot Nos. 3816, 4129, 4143, 4126 and 4127 of Toledo City Cadastre all situated at Poog, Toledo City.
"The claim of the intervenors, Roso Sabalones and Luis Sabalones, are rendered moot and academic with the passing out of the right of Pelagia Ocang."cralaw virtua1aw library
The above-quoted dispositive portion of the decision shows that Lot No. 4126 is among the four lots described in the Deed of Redemption executed by the Provincial Sheriff of Cebu in favor of petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner was declared owner of the four lots in the same decision.chanrobles virtual lawlibrary
The decision of the trial court in Civil Case No. R-1666 was appealed by Private Respondents as AC-G.R. CV NO. 3132-UDK and is still pending decision in the Court of Appeals (Rollo, p. 497).
G.R. No. L-35767 was terminated in this Court and became final and executory on July 30, 1976. The case has been remanded to the trial court which had also rendered its decision on the controversy. The Court no longer has jurisdiction in the case to resolve, by a mere motion therein, issues having to do with the right of parties to the case (National Investment and Development Corporation v. Angeles, 40 SCRA [1971]). When the case reaches the court again on appeal, then and only then will it regain jurisdiction over the case. Under the circumstances, the following passage from the decision in Li Kim Tho v. Go Sin Kaw is applicable:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"Litigation must end and terminate sometime and somewhere and it is essential to an effective and efficient administration of justice that once a judgment has become final, the winning party be not, through a mere subterfuge, deprived of the fruits of the verdict. Courts must therefore guard against any scheme calculated to bring about that result. Constituted as they are to put an end to controversies, courts should frown upon any attempt to prolong them." (82 Phil. 776, cited in Phil. Blooming Mills Employees Co. v. Blooming Mills Co., Inc., 51 SCRA 189 [1973]).chanrobles.com : virtual law library
PREMISES CONSIDERED, the motion is DISMISSED for having become moot and academic.
Yap (Chairman), Melencio-Herrera, Padilla and Sarmiento, JJ., concur.
**	Penned by then Associate Justice Antonio P. Barredo, Second Division, and concurred in by Justices Felix Q. Antonio, Salvador V. Esguerra, and Ramon C. Aquino.

Old Trafford saw silver for Vietnam 6v6 football, what this year?
Thursday, March 04, 2010 16:47
As many as 128 teams of six-man football in Vietnam will be competing this month and April to win the right to represent the country in the 2010 Budweiser International Cup 6V6 this summer in South Africa, the host country for the FIFA World Cup.
Vietnam, in their first participation in the 2009 Budweiser International Cup 6V6 staged at the Old Trafford Stadium, home of English Premier League powerhouse Manchester United, took the silver medal after losing to Argentina on penalty shoot-out.

They will compete from March 7 to April 4. The qualifying rounds are set for March 7 in Hanoi, March 13 in Danang, March 21 in Nha Trang and March 27 in Ho Chi Minh City.
The top eight – two from each city – will advance to the national finals on April 4 at the Thong Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City, with the winning team earning a trip to South Africa.
"This year's installment is especially significant because the grass-roots nature of the event couldn't be more evident," said Walter Blocker, CEO of the Gannon Group, authorized distributor of Budweiser in Vietnam.
"Last year, it was only open to teams in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi. Now, the best in Danang and Nha Trang have a chance. The 'King of Beers' is proud to be playing such a big role in a campaign that makes dreams come true," he added.
When in South Africa, Team Vietnam will face off July 1 against representatives from nine other countries, such as China, Brazil and Germany, in the Budweiser International Cup in Pretoria. The team will also watch two World Cup Round-of-16 matches in person.

Michael Jordan Donates $2M To Food Banks
December 1, 2020 | by Matt
Michael Jordan continues to give back and has just donated $2-million of earnings from his docuseries, "The Last Dance," to local food banks in the Carolinas and Chicago.
Jordan's participation in the Emmy-winning, 10-part ESPN docuseries that chronicles his last season with the Chicago Bulls, reportedly netted him between $3-million and $4 million. "In these challenging times and in a year of unimaginable difficulty due to Covid-19," Jordan says in a statement. "It's more important than ever to pause and give thanks."
By the way? Jordan isn't done giving – he also recently pledged to donate $100-million over the next 10 years to organizations dedicated to fighting for racial equality.
