Anti-Israel Student Convention Numbers Plummet Following Dossiers on Activists, Watchdog Claims [incl. Hatem Bazian]

'The most extreme elements are now running' Students for Justice in Palestine
An anonymous pro-Israel group that creates dossiers on anti-Israel and antisemitic campus activists is claiming credit for an alleged plunge in the number of such activists.
A good portion of the students and staff profiled by Canary Mission are active in chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine, a 17-year-old pro-Palestinian organization founded by two instructors at the University of California-Berkeley, Hatem Bazian and Snehal Shingavi.
Since Canary Mission's founding in 2015, "two clear trends have emerged within" the National SJP conference, the group wrote earlier this month in a four-page analysis of October's national conference. "First, participation is down, with around 100 participants in attendance at the 2017 conference. Second, the most extreme elements are now running SJP."
The media relations email for National SJP has not responded to College Fix requests to confirm or dispute the plunge in attendance alleged by Canary Mission, and explain the factors behind any change.
But in a pinned Facebook post the weekend of the conference, National SJP said "hundreds of SJP students, activists and organizers" attended the conference.
Hoping to reach National SJP by another route, The Fix also contacted SJP chapters for New York City campuses and the University of Oklahoma and University of Houston, where October's conference was hosted, through their Facebook pages.
The OU chapter responded and said it would connect The Fix with a member of its board, but did not respond further.

Count based on Facebook 'going' statuses
Canary Mission claims in its new analysis that the National SJP conference in 2014 drew "nearly 600 attendees." Just months after Canary Mission's founding, the 2015 conference dropped below 500 and 2016 "saw a record low, with just 223 attendees," before last fall's event set a new all-time low.
The pro-Jewish group, which claims it's "run by students and concerned citizens," cites the number of Facebook users who said they were "going" to the conference each year, from 2011 through 2017, on the conference's public Facebook page.
The analysis does not include those who may have attended but did not publicly indicate such on Facebook.
Not all the statements attributed to attendees were actually made in the vicinity of the conference in October, but in their archived online profiles, some of them years old.
"The 2017 NSJP Conference featured some of the most anti-Semitic students on North American campuses," the analysis said, citing "workshop leader" Samer Alhato of Saint Xavier University. But the statement attributed to Alhato is a nearly five-year-old tweet to Barack Obama instructing him to "shut up about gay marriage and go kill all the Jews."
The dossier for one alleged attendee points to her social media activity after the October conference, however: Sarah Abdulmooti of the University of Houston, who retweeted photos of Hamas militants who were killed in Israel airstrikes, with the accompanying text "Rest in peace brothers."
Canary Mission confirmed in an email to The Fix that all of its cited materials were obtained online, not from direct observations at the October conference.

Ex-activists 'had not understood how extreme SJP was and felt manipulated'
Whether pro-Palestine activists are staying home or simply not disclosing on Facebook they planned to attend the October conference, Canary Mission says its database of the activists' online statements is putting unwanted attention on them.
It has "received scores of emails and messages from those profiled on their [Canary Mission's] site, asking to be removed," including "senior activists," according to its analysis.
To show the influence it's having, the group created a section on its website to highlight activists who have allegedly renounced their activism.
After the activists acknowledge and reject "the latent anti-Semitism" in groups such as SJP and the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel, Canary Mission removes their profiles and shares their "ex-Canary" testimony.
"Many express a similar theme – they had not understood how extreme SJP was and felt manipulated by its leaders," according to the analysis.
Thus far, seven individuals have now been placed in the ex-Canary section, though neither their names nor their affiliations of any kind are given.
In a long letter, one described growing up in a "nondenominational church" that "favored the Palestinians." This person then took college classes that framed the Israel-Palestine conflict as "one aggressor Israel and one victim the Palestinians":
After one [SJP] meeting I joined the group and was thrown into the world of the BDS movement without a true understanding ... It seemed that those who fought the most for the BDS movement were not Palestinians, but left leaning community members who had no stakes in this conflict. ... As a former member of SJP, I now understand how my actions were Anti-Semitic [sic] and wrong.
Another person who identified as a "hijabi" (a Muslim woman who wears a hijab) allegedly wrote a Facebook post apologizing for "mistakes I made in the past" involving "anti-Semitic rhetoric I've pushed forward."
In a linked blog post from a year ago, the writer admitted to comparing "Hitler to the Jewish community" in a tweet as a 15-year-old and making "more reckless and disappointing tweets" during 2014's Israel-Gaza conflict.
Other controversy has followed the October conference. UC-Berkeley's Bazian, the co-founder of SJP, apologized for retweeting images "that depicted Orthodox Jews as murderous and suggested a moral equivalency between North Korea and Israel," according to the Washington Free Beacon.
The publication also highlighted criticism by an attendee of the October conference, who said its leaders promoted "Arab Supremacy" and practiced "exclusionary behavior" toward non-Arab activists.

University that hosted conference is a hotbed of antisemitism?
The activism of SJP chapters has often unnerved Jewish student groups, as when its Loyola University Chicago chapter harassed Jewish students and formed a "human wall" around them while they were advertising a trip to Israel for Jewish students.
Northeastern University and Florida Atlantic University chapters also distributed mock eviction notices at the residences of students, some of whom were Jewish.
But Canary Mission holds special contempt for the University of Houston, which hosted the October conference. The public university's pro-Palestine activists – not all formal SJP members – were extensively documented by Canary Mission a year ago.
The group identified 13 UH community members who together "posted dozens of times expressing hatred of Jews and Israel, praise for Hitler, mockery of the Holocaust and threats of violence against Jews."
The pro-Israel activist and conservative firebrand David Horowitz was slated to speak on campus days before the university hosted the National SJP conference, and his organization plastered the campus with flyers saying SJP is "funded by Hamas terrorists." Student protesters repeatedly chanted during Horowitz's speech to the Young Americans for Freedom chapter.
A spokesperson for the University of Houston told The Fix it was "unable to authenticate whether those outlined in [Canary Mission's January 2017 report on UH activists] were indeed UH students." He didn't answer whether a university department had invited National SJP to host the conference on campus or whether National SJP simply rented space on campus as any private organization might.
He questioned "the actual news value" of the university's role in SJP campus activism.


The Universal Channel is a television channel owned by NBCUniversal.
The channel mainly broadcasts United States imports including drama series and TV movies such as House MD and Law & Order. However the channel also screens British dramas including Hustle and Spooks, and Australian series like Sea Patrol and McLeod's Daughters. The channel specialises in programming that is appropriate for the whole family.
This channel is specific to audiences within the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The channel was previously owned by the privately backed Sparrowhawk Media Group, until late 2007 when the company was bought by NBC Universal. It was previously known as the Hallmark Entertainment Network and the Hallmark Channel.
Coinciding with the launch of Hallmark Channel HD, Hallmark Channel became 16:9 widescreen capable on 28 June 2010.
In June 2009, a memorandum leaked to the television trade newspaper Broadcast stated that NBC Universal planned to rebrand the Hallmark Channel as a Universal Channel in October 2009. The "Hallmark Channel" brand was licensed to NBC Universal from Crown Media (which operates the US Hallmark Channel) and was due to expire. An NBC Universal spokesperson denied such a rebrand would happen.

If Los Angeles didn�t make your head whip round a little, then this site is not for you. For me, it was the first thing I had heard out of the loose network of labels to have survived the trip-hop IDM boom-and-bust cycle (Warp, Ninja Tune, Chocolate Industries, Def Jux et al) that was vital, that really needed to be heard. That said, though, Los Angeles was still an instrumental hip-hop album, and Cosmogramma is so much more than that. Finally crushing the age-old criticism of underground electronic sounds � that they�re not soulful enough � Stephen Ellison let jazz, fusion and all manner of radio-unfriendly art sounds overwhelm the funk, so that the funk itself seemed like the weaker player. I truly believe that FlyLo is ushering in a new era, and that�s why this site is here. May the spirit stay as strong as it feels right now.

How to sound smarter next time you're asked about recession risk
William Strauss, senior economist with the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago, speaking at a real estate forecast event at Roosevelt University in Chicago
William Strauss is generally not surprised when non-economists assume the United States is on the brink of a recession.
The senior economist with the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago noted at a real estate market forecast event held at Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago Tuesday that the current financial climate represents the longest expansion in recorded history. The economy has now grown for 126 consecutive months, which is half a year longer than the previous record set in the 1990s and twice as long as an expansion would typically last. But that's not what people should be looking at, according to Strauss.
"Except that is not how recessions happen," he told the audience. "They don't just happen because we run out of steam… You need something bad to happen, something that alters your behavior."
Strauss singled out "big ticket" items, like wars or a major sector of the economy going haywire, like the housing market did in the last recession, as more likely triggers for recession. But even when the economy does experience these "negative economic shocks," it still doesn't automatically create an environment conducive to recession. One prime example of this is the escalating tariff wars threatening to destabilize relations with China and Mexico this past year. While Strauss told the audience that they definitely impacted manufacturing and slowed overall gross domestic product data, recession was not the ultimate result.
Understand how to apply the data
One major problem in economic perception is in seeing the full story, rather than just looking at topline numbers. Strauss noted that in a recent poll of economists, around 20 percent predicted a recession in 2020, which doesn't sound all that great to the layman. However, when one considers the fact that recessions come an average of once every five years, "you have just about as much a chance of recession as any other year" considering the fact that one out of five equals 20 percent.
While economists were a bit more bullish on 2019 than 2020, Strauss agreed with the majority. "I don't see a risk of recession out there," he said. "We have not seen an event that rises up to a level that puts the U.S. economy at risk of a recession."
Strauss also noted that there are so many economic indicators out there that it can be hard for the average person to know how to interpret their impact on the overall picture. For example, the term "housing starts" might make one think this home-construction data point represents forward-looking data, but "it's actually permits that are in the leading economic indicators" that the Fed examines, since "you have to pull a permit before you start." Similarly, Strauss suggested avoiding the stock market as a reliable predictor: "You could be very misled if you used it as an indicator of the next recession."
See Fed policy in the round
While drama around what the Fed will do with interest rates often roils around critical tweets from President Donald Trump and perceptions of the health of the economy, Strauss noted that the decision of when to raise or lower rates is generally much more nuanced.
For example, he noted that in the decisions to lower rates last year, the reasoning wasn't necessarily because the economy needed a boost, but rather because inflation wasn't yet where the Fed had promised.
"We're telling the market that we want to have a 2 percent inflation path," Strauss said. However, he added that "inflation has been stubbornly stuck at that 1.5 percent." The policymakers who voted for the change were concerned that the Fed's credibility was at risk, and that the market might adjust its expectations to meet that 1.5 percent figure rather than expecting 2 percent over the long run.
Overall, Strauss did note that the Fed is predicting interest rates will rise slowly over the next couple of years, but that 2022 will likely be "still below the levels of interest rates that existed in July of last year."
Get a broader view of economic health
At the moment, the Fed isn't predicting any major change in the economy. Strauss said in terms of the housing market, he thinks it'll "continue to show gains, but not impressive gains."
Strauss suggested being in tune with other sectors of the economy to assess overall health. For example, he noted that last month, the United States became a net exporter of energy in December. "We had a major event that took place in the last month that has received very little attention in the media," he said. "We are now the dominant player in the energy market." Strauss noted that this fact puts the country on a different footing than it had been ahead of other recent recessions, particularly when it comes to consumer spending and global economic rankings.
Still, in the grand scheme of things, the way a person sees the possibility of recession is more a reflection of their attitude than anything else. "You want to be happy? They're not predicting a recession," Strauss said of economists. On the other side of the equation, "They're not talking about an exceptional economy either."

The Joy of Giving Week is India's 'festival of giving'. Each year, this pan India festival is celebrated during the week of 2nd - 8th October and brings together individuals from all walks of life to celebrate the joy of 'giving'. In 2013, United Way Mumbai initiated a concept designed towards facilitating interactions between citizens and various charities in a fun, interactive and engaging premise. We named this initiative Maadhyam which means a means or a medium between two entities.
Maadhyam 2013 was an interactive and engaging event, which connected citizens of Mumbai, corporates and organisations, with various NGOs in a festive environment. Maadhyam 2013 was a two day event, 7th and 8th October, 2013 at the courtyard of High Street Phoenix mall, Lower Parel. Over 20,000 customers visited and connected with the NGO's and their beneficiaries through engagement activities, product stalls or general interaction. Maadhyam 2013 witnessed fun and engaging opportunities to interact, connect, volunteer or support any cause. A series of performances ensured high energy levels at the venue.
NGO stalls at Maadhyam helped citizens connect with and support some of their favorite causes. This is a longer caption to check how it looks in the front end.

On September 26th Lewisham Council passed a motion pledging to protect the NHS. Two months later, on the evening of Wednesday, 28th November – three spaces, three places, taken up with close to a thousand people all focused upon one thing – the Save Lewisham Hospital Campaign.
The fact that the borough is palpably reeling with shock is reflected in the comment made by Dr John Lister of London Health Emergency who told us that this is the largest campaign he has ever seen – and noted how quickly it had come together.
In the Civic Centre, Lewisham Council were in full session. "Lewisham Council notes with great concern the recommendations published by the Trust Special Administrator on October 29' and called upon the Trust Special Administrator Matthew Kershaw to change his proposals and remove any recommendations which would result in reductions in the services provided to residents of Lewisham by Lewisham Hospital.
Is our hospital bankrupt? No!
Is our hospital failing the community? No!
Our hospital is one of the top 40!
We keep dangerously ill people alive – this is unfair and dangerous!
Carol Brown – a former ICU patient spoke movingly of her own life saving care. An ICU which also receives patients from across London. Others who spoke of 'only just making it into Lewisham A&E' before collapse and life saving treatment – with no chance whatsoever of reaching another A&E.
Heidi Alexander MP, whose office is managing the protest petition – which now stands at almost 40,000 signatures ( including almost 15,000 street signatures ) gained in less than a month spoke clearly and forcibly of the threat. (Notably, unlike the H&SC bill, the media need little persuasion to follow our story.
In the Commons, Jim Dowd MP drilled down into the nonsense of Trust Special Administrator Kershaw's maths : £55million to be spent clearing 60% of a viable and accessible site to recoup only £17-20million and then to spend further money on altering the remaining (nearly new) Lewisham facilities and upgrading hard-to-reach QEH with its' never-ending PFI.
Back in the public meeting there was predictably a lot of anger about PFI – however the later and affordable Lewisham deal which has provided the borough with state of the art facilities is not the killer. The appallingly badly drawn up Queen Elizabeth Hospital PFI of a decade ago is the element which needs addressing and by the Trust Special Administrator who should be re-negotiating the deal, but ( strangely ) has so far refused to consider it. Why is it that the greedy contractor's purse continues to be prioritised over patients?
With this in view, Lewisham Council were 'calling upon the Government to deal with the South London Healthcare's historic debt and urges the Chancellor of the Exchequer to buy out South London Healthcare Trust's PFI rather than spread this debt across South London'.
Also adding that the University of Lewisham Hospital Trust should not be drawn into the viability of the QEH and their debt – especially given that the Trust Special Administrator's draft proposals have not undertaken sufficient work into the capacity needs of A&E facilities needed in South East London – nor have they taken any account of waiting time now or after closures (and also given – as was flagged up in the Broadway meeting – that South East London NHS already warn local GPs that existing A&E's are already at capacity). Even their travel time assessment is based upon the never to be found time when 'there is no traffic on the roads'.
Crucially, even before the SLHT ( inc. Lewisham ) Trust Special Administrator 'consultation' is ended, Hunt has announced that this dangerous and rushed model is to be rolled out nationally.
For anyone in any doubt as to the implications of this – the objective is clear. Not an improved healthcare re-alignment ( for the evidence suggests that this will produce numerous avoidable deaths and DNAs); not improved services ( £69 million in staff cuts and much reduced A&E, maternity, ICU and paediatric facilities will result ); not a commensurate beef-up of community provision. No. This is setting up Lewisham Hospital ( in a Labour heartland borough ) to fail, so that before long the brand new shiny buildings will be as carrion for the rich pickings of a private sector bargain-basement buy-out.
Oh what a laugh they must be having at the prospect of the only hospital available to Labour voters being a pay-per-entry whilst the poorly and poor NHS patients will have to totter across a complex public transport system to access QEH over an hour away. Such is the prism through which we must view these machinations.
In the meantime……….. we have until 13th December to respond to this travesty.
Please leave our local 'Lewisham Hospital' A&E and Maternity ward alone, it's successful and has no debts; it has always served our community. Stop wasting tax payers money, the new exstention is perfect and you want to shut it down…what a waste. The hospital at Woolwich is the one in trouble do something about that and leave Lewisham alone. It's totally unrealistic to assume Woolwich could cope with millions of ill people from other communities and you know this really.You have private health-care (I guess) so you don't care…but one day, and not very long off, when you can no longer pick on the poor and working class because we will have nothing left you can take…then what? Leave our hospital alone, for God's sake.
Oh dear…put the above comment on the wrong page, it should have been on the petition page I didn't read it properly.

Between now and April 28th 2019 you can find eggs randomly appear around your city and fulfill special quests to gain Sky Essence. You can use this Sky Essence to open Chests for special daily prizes and Phoenix Feathers. These Phoenix Feathers can be used to unlock the Grand Prizes!
This year something new will happen, though! As once foretold by the prophecy, the Phoenix cult has uncovered three very special eggs and they want you to hatch them! Each of the eggs can be placed in your city and will bring its own special benefits. By collecting Phoenix Artifacts, you can hatch these eggs and let them evolve into powerful Phoenixes. Phoenix Artifacts are scarce, though, and may only appear very rarely outside of this event, so make strategic choices as to which Phoenix you'd like to evolve first. Each Phoenix is specialized in certain bonuses, and the further they evolve, the stronger these bonuses become.
Like all animals, Phoenixes tend to get hungry from time to time. Feed them with special Pet Food to activate additional magical bonus effects!
You can earn more Pet Food by finishing the quests of the event or craft it yourself in the Magic Academy!
We hope you have a wonderful time hunting for Sky Essence and are egg-stra curious to hearing your feedback in our discussion thread!

Николая Улагашевича сравнивают с Гомером, Пушкиным, называют достоянием нации. Будучи неграмотным он мог рассказывать поэмы и сказки по нескольку дней. Он знал тридцать две поэмы и более сотни сказок. Хранил в памяти легенды и предания, песни, пословицы и поговорки своего народа, складывал свои стихотворения. Все произведения Николай Улагашевич исполнял каем — особым видом горлового пения.

Храм имени апостола Иоанна Богослова на острове Патмос в селе Чемал
Остров Патмос — удивительное по красоте место Горного-Алтая. Сюда в 1915 году был перенесен деревянный храм, построенный ещё в 1849 году в Чемале, который со временем разрушился. К 2001 году храм был восстановлен и освящён вновь. В храме совершаются «настоящие чудеса»: на глазах стала обновляться старая деревянная икона Божьей Матери, стала мироточить и «слышать» соседняя икона, здесь исполняются все церковные требы.

Q: PHP RESTful services; AJAX and DELETE method with username/password credentials I asked another question related to RESTful services here, and have another question involving DELETE (PUT):
Same kind of situation where I want to send along user credentials (username/password) with my PUT.  This is my DELETE service so far:
$http_req   = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];
switch ($http_req) {
    case DELETE:
        $user = $acct->read($_REQUEST["usernameDel"], $_REQUEST["passwordDel"]);  // this method used to read db table with 1 record
        if (!empty($_REQUEST["delTaskId"]) && isset($_REQUEST["usernameDel"]) && isset($_REQUEST["passwordDel"])) {
            if ($user == true) {
                $delete     = fopen("php://input", "r");
                $data       = stream_get_contents($deleted);
                $params;
                parse_str($data, $params);
                $dropped = $mgr->delete($params["id"])  // calls the method that deletes a particular row based on its id
                echo $dropped;
            }
        }
}

This is the html page I am working with. I updated it to be in a :
<form action="TaskService.php" method="POST">
Username
    <input type="text" name="usernameDel" id="usernameDel" required/>

Password
    <input type="password" name="passwordDel" id="passwordDel" required/>

Task ID
    <input type="text" name="delTaskId" id="delTaskId" required/>

<button type="button" id="btnDelete">Delete Task</button>

</form>

This is my ajax code (edit-now using @Devs modifications):
$("#btnDelete").click(function() {

    $.ajax({
            method: "DELETE",
            url: "TaskService.php",
            data: { 'username':$("#usernameDel").val(), 'password': $("#passwordDel").val(), 'id': $("#delTaskId").val()},
            success: function(theResponse) {
                alert(theResponse);
            }
        });
});

Currently it returns a 200 response, but gives me the error messages I had put in for my Account class (comes back with "Could not find account".
My gut is telling me it has something to do with my $_REQUEST[] superglobals since it's not doing anything with a form action, but I am not all too familiar with passing information via ajax
Thoughts?

A: Just arranged the ajax format, also some syntax error in the php code.
Note: never tested
Ajax
$(document).ready(function(){

   $("#btnDelete").click(function() {

        $.ajax({
                method: "DELETE",
                url: "TaskService.php",
                data: { 'username':$("#usernameDel").val(), 'password': $("#passwordDel").val(), 'id': $("#delTaskId").val()},
                success: function(theResponse) {

                    // Output
                    alert(theResponse); // comment this

                    }
            });
    });
});

TaskService.php
<?php
$http_req   = $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"];

switch ($http_req) {
    case DELETE:
        $user = $acct->read($_REQUEST["username"], $_REQUEST["password"]);  // this method used to read db table with 1 record
        if ($user == true) {
            $delete     = fopen("php://input", "r");
            $data       = stream_get_contents($deleted);
            $params;
            parse_str($data, $params);
            $dropped = $mgr->delete($params["id"]);  // calls the method that deletes a particular row based on its id
            echo $dropped;
        }
    break;
}
?>

A: Found out why my validation wasn't working! I feel so blind!
I was ignoring the fact that the delete action was taking username, password, and id as parameters....as such, validation wasn't going to work because the "php://input" file hadn't been opened to parse through all 3 parameters.
Here's my updated PHP that works:
// I needed to access the file FIRST before doing anything with the parameters passed from AJAX
$deleted    = fopen("php://input", "r");
$data       = stream_get_contents($deleted);
$params;
parse_str($data, $params);

$user_auth  = $acctMgr->readAcct($params["username"], $params["password"]);
        if ($user_auth == true) {
            $rows   = $mgr->delete($params["id"]);

            echo $rows;
        } else {
            echo "User not authenticated";
        }

"It was nice when we scored that second one!" the Royals boss smiled as he spoke immediately after a tense, nervy but exciting end to a valuable win at Hillsborough on Friday night.
"It was a tense game, a tough game with the home crowd behind good opposition, a team who are fighting for a top six place like us. So we knew it wasn't going to be easy.
"It was a very big game. And in how we played, how we performed, how we have been working together this week, the players deserve a big compliment.
"The whole week after the defeat at Preston, we have been speaking about what we need to improve upon, what we need to do better.
"Normally, if we press very high up the pitch, go forward and try to win that ball early, sometimes by doing that, we have been open and you can get caught on the break – it has happened to us in a couple of games now.
"So we spoke about if we can press forward than we should do it…but if it's not possible, we can sit back a bit and the wingers can drop in a bit as well.
"But for that to work, everybody needed to do their job – and everybody did their job very well today. They worked very hard defensively to keep that clean sheet.
"It wasn't an easy game – they had their fair share of chances as well and Ali made some great saves. But if you play against the top sides in the Championship, it's going to be hard.
The Royals leapfrogged Leeds to climb to fourth place in the league with Friday night's nail-biting win, but the manager was well aware that more work is needed if a play-off place is to be our reward at the end of the last eight games of the campaign.
"The players want to stay up there, because it would be a real shame if we got knocked out of the top six at this stage of the season.
"And this is a result that gives the players extra motivation and even more self-confidence in what they can achieve by doing certain things on the pitch.
"Of course we'll try to keep that up until the end of the season, but they are all big games now. It would be nice as a manager to have an easy one, where I can just sit on the bench and enjoy it…but we have Leeds at home next, another tough game!

Another coronavirus case confirmed at Judgemeadow Community College in Leicester
A parent has contacted the school after a positive test

Our free email updates are the best way to get headlines direct to your inbox
Another child at a Leicester secondary school has tested positive for coronavirus.
Parents and carers of students at Judgemeadow Community College, in Evington, were today told that, while the school remains open, a number of pupils who had direct prolonged contact with the infected child must stay at home for a fortnight.
In a letter, principal of the 1,300-pupil school Jason Smith said: "We have been advised by a parent that there has been a confirmed case of Covid-19 within the school.
"We know that you may find this concerning but are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with the Leicester City Council Public Health team and Public Health England.
"Please be reassured that for most people, coronavirus will be a mild illness."

He added: "The children who have been in direct, prolonged contact with the confirmed case will have received an individual letter and will be staying at home for 14 days.
"The school remains open and your child should continue to attend if they remain well."
Last month, students in Year 10 and 11 bubbles were sent home to self-isolate after two cases of the virus were confirmed.
Judgemeadow is the latest school in Leicester and Leicestershire to confirm a case of Covid-19.
There have now been more than 200 confirmed cases of the virus among staff and pupils in more than 100 schools across the city and county.
Education bosses say the number of cases remains low in proportion to the 150,000 total school-age children.
They say infections are largely not occurring within schools but are being detected after being picked up in the community.
The Government has said children are less likely to contract Covid-19 than adults, and suffer serious ill-health if they do.
Cases of the virus continue to rise across the country but Prime Minister Boris Johnson has stressed his intention to keep schools open while he considers local lockdown measures to restrict infections.
As term restarted, Mr Johnson chose Castle Rock School in Coalville to launch a message to the nation about the importance of schools re-opening.

The National Association of Realtors is working on a new regulation to allow CCIM Realtors to sell TIC investments. The reason behind this effort is to have competent commercial investment Realtors represent securities products that are essentially real estate investments. Right now the current representatives are stock brokers and securities dealers - people who are inherently not real estate experts. I think this a good move to bring expert guidance to this booming industry.

Posted on June 12, 2011 . Tagged with: photos,, digpen,, falmouth,, and unconference.
Yesterday was the third iteration of the Digital Peninsula Unconference, at University College Falmouth, Tremough.
I also took photos this time. The lighting was much better at this venue than in Exeter, but there still was a lot of blurry shots. They certainly could have been better (shooting these things with a 50mm is quite an impractical pain…), but I'm not too displeased with them.
Anyway; you can find them here on Flickr, as always.


It's no huge secret that I was completely delighted with the added functionality and user friendliness of TomTom's latest Navigator 6 software, as found in the Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone package (reviewed here). So it goes without saying that I thrilled to see the gigantic green advertisement last month on TomTom's US website proclaiming "free" maps upgrades. I was even more thrilled when I saw that I was eligible for a free (well, after paying $6 for shipping) DVD containing the new USA & Canada maps. Despite being soured on the fact that TomTom's online store only accepts PayPal, I placed my order, assuming I'd have to wait out the full 3-4 weeks for delivery as advised by TomTom's confirmation screen.
One of the more pleasant surprises of late occurred when I opened my mailbox after a little over one week to find an envelope from TomTom! The single DVD comes packaged in a nicely printed foldout sleeve and its data is applicable to all current, updatable TomTom devices; GO, ONE, RIDER, and Navigator 6.
The documentation printed within the DVD folder is just a pictograph schematic with a modicum of information. I'd like to have seen a getting started guide of some kind for the novice users out there.
I inserted the TomTom DVD into my PC and installed the app. Being familiar with the previous version of the TomTom desktop software, I already had my SD card out of my Treo and in my PC's card reader drive. I selected my regional maps and the program automatically knew which drive letter was my SD card. Installation was speedy and trouble-free. In fact, the whole process was painless until it came time to actually activate the new maps on the Treo. I had to go to www.ttcode.com and manually activate everything since TomTom's automated system appears unable to process the newest product codes. I had this problem a few months ago when I was trying to activate my pre-release copy of Navigator 6. The automated system did work, however, when I purchased my own personal copy of the Palm GPS kit in December.
My initial, localized testing of the new maps has shown them to be very up-to-date. As an example, my house's street was initially built in 2004 and completed in 2005. It's represented in full on these latest maps, as are several new restaurants, shops, a gas station that changed franchise affiliation a year or so ago, and some new area attractions. I have not yet had an opportunity to take the new maps on an out of town trip but the initial signs just from local usage are overwhelmingly positive. Having gone from the relatively ancient Navigator 5 maps, to the initial Navigator 6 release maps to these new 2006 maps in less than a year's time has truly made me appreciate the value of keeping the map data up-to-date on my Treo. I can imagine that European users would not have as pressing of a need to upgrade maps on an annual basis as American Road Warriors who have to battle urban sprawl and a constant influx of new roads, businesses and attractions when traveling.
It is my understanding that TomTom Navigator 6 users (any flavor) are eligible for the free map updates while owners of TomTom Navigator 5 can purchase the new maps for ~$50. Several members of the TreoCentral forums have actually reported that they just purchased the new maps to use with Navigator 5 but received the same DVD as I did. So an unexpected benefit of paying for the revised maps is a "quiet" upgrade to Navigator 6 in the process. I'm not sure if this is an official part of the upgrade or not, so your mileage may vary.
All owners of the recent Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition as well as users of the map data found in the initial release of Navigator 6 should register for the free DVD post-haste. TomTom's promotional pricing ends March 31st 2007.
Maps are VERY accurate and up-to-date.
Documentation, both printed and disc-based, could be much more comprehensive.
TomTom accepts only PayPal as a payment method for their e-store upgrades.
Still no sign of an updated Navigator 6 client for the newest Palm devices to add support for the Treo 680, 700wx and 750.
Will this Run on a T3?
Will TT6 run on a Tungsten T3? I'm figuring, not.
RE: Will this Run on a T3?
TT6 is currently officially supported on the Treo 650, 700w, and 700p.
Supposedly the forthcoming 6.03 update will add support for the Treo 680, 700wx, and 750.
TomTom Navigator 5.21 was the last version to "officially" support Palm PDAs.
TomTom 5 runs perfectly fine on a TT3.
Wow, that's great to hear! Do out of DBheap/cache memory errors ever occur? How is its performance on the T3? Prone to lag & resets while navigating?
Do you have to perform any hacks to get it to run on the T3?
Your not slipping on me are you. bHeap/Cache on a T3? I thot that was the wonderful offspring of the NVFS "upgraded" OS?
Are you really serious about it (TT6) running perfectly on the T3? I am using TT5.2 right now and it's cool except for lockups from time to time. It still have not gotten the software to completely sync up. The NaviAddressBook is there, but does not pass the address over to the NAVI, so I have to put them in manually. I'm sure there's a fix b/c it's designed specifically for the T3. But, I've not found it yet.
TT6 runs perfect on a T3. It also runs in full screen, both landscape and portrait, but only after installing some sort of fix from tomtom (you can get it from their page).
True, DBcache is a recent product of the NVFS-equipped Palm devices. A mild brain fart in nomenclature there on my part (T3/T5, TT5, TT6, bleh).
But the T3, as well as all earlier Palms, have always kept a chunk of the total memory aside for dynamic heap for executing and reading and writing space for apps. For example, the T3 has 64mb of physical memory but only ~52mb of it is available to the user for storage memory. The ~12mb difference between 64mb and 52mb is kept by the system as heap memory aka execution memory similar to system RAM on a regular PC.
Since it reportedly works with the T3, I'm interested. What Bluetooth GPS receivers are supported with TT6 on the T3? I can't seem to find this info. I would think I could do better than $150.
I guess any bluetooth GPS should be OK. I have seen at least 5 different GPS's that worked with T3. You don't need any special "drivers" or settings for bluetooth GPS.
Wow, I find that hard to believe, but ok... heh.
It's true. I've tried several bluetooth GPS recivers with my palm. Haven't had problems with any of them.
2. "Is still not supported for 680" - I spoke with a TomTom two days ago. TomTom 6 does work on the Treo 680. This is coming from a Tech Support Rep, (not just some Costumer Support Rep). The Tech rep said that after TomTom and Palm investigated the matter, it was determined that the problem was with the Treo 680 and not the TomTom software. He went on to say that the Palm has fixed that problem. He says that he has successfully put TomTom 6 on several Treo 680's himself and has also helped several people over the phone install the TomTom 6 on their Treo 680's. He said that the first 680's on the market did have a problem and will not run TomTom 6 but anyone who purchased a 680 recently, shouldn't have any problem with the TomTom 6 working on it. He told me that after I purchase a 680, if I have any problems installing it, I could call TomTom again and he would walk me threw it. But that it will work for sure.
For some reason a lot of people still have the misconception that TomTom 6 is not compatible with the 680. Even the first rep I got when I called TomTom thought that was the case. It wasn't until I was transferred to the Tech support department that I learned that Palm has quietly fixed the Treo 680. I think a lot of people will be happy to hear this.
Look, you can gladly come and root around in my garbage can for the postmarked envelope TomTom sent my CD in.
Then I can show you the printed receipt of my order confirmation from TomTom.
It came in ~8 days from the date of order. I don't know HOW or WHY but it DID.
Perhaps it's because I am on the East Coast. Perhaps someone at TomTom was just having a good day.
Either way, I *personally* received fast shipping. That is a fully correct, honest, and legitimate statement. I do not sugarcoat or make excuses for any product or company, ESPECIALLY when I review something I purchased with my own money to review.
I don't astroturf or wave pom-poms for anyone.
There are plenty of trustworthy TreoCentral users reporting issues with the Treo 680s. Our very own Tim Carrol (aka freakout) claims that TT6 gave him fits on his Treo 680 until he performed the hack.
I do not own a Treo 680 or have access to one so I cannot verify this myself. I'm just reporting for PIC what the TreoCentral crowd is reporting.
Furthermore, I find TomTom's claim that the Treo 680 is at fault hard to believe. Palm has issued, to date, a single Treo 680 update. That is the downloadable RAM fix (not ROM) for the camera/battery drain problem. Unless this patch quietly fixes something else, I don't see how "newer" 680s could be exempt from TomTom 6 problems.
"For some reason a lot of people still have the misconception that TomTom 6 is not compatible with the 680"
Well, Palm's product support page for the 680 doesn't list anything about TomTom6 compatibility. Palm's support page for the GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition that has TT6 bundled HAS been updated with a link to TomTom's free/discount 2006 maps offer but there's no word about Treo 680 compatibility. It still lists the same devices as the GPS kit's packaging lists. TomTom's underwhelming support site gives NO references whatsoever to the Treo 680, the 700wx or the Treo 750.
Will updated versions of NAVIGATOR 6 be compatible with more devices?
We are constantly increasing the compatibility of our software, and will regularly release updates of NAVIGATOR 6 that are compatible with more products.
These updates will most probably include compatibility with newly introduced devices rather than older devices. The minimum system requirements for mobile devices running NAVIGATOR 6 mean that, in many cases, NAVIGATOR 6 is not compatible with older devices.
"will regularly release updates" is not the same thing as "have already released updates". I very clearly see why people are confused as to the status of the Treo 680 and TomTom Navigator 6. Someone from Palm, TomTom or, ideally, both companies should make a clear statement online about the support for these new devices.
Recently their was a posting about the upcoming Navigator Kit 3. In the article it states that TomTom 5 does not work with the 680 but the Navigator Kit 3 (using TomTom Navigator 6.03 software) will work with the Treo 680.
I called TomTom to enquire about this. The sales Rep said that he was told that TomTom 6 does not work with the Treo 680. I asked about the Navigator Kit 3, since it is also running TomTom 6. He said he didn't know anything about the new kit. He transferred me to Tech Support. Tech Support told the new Navigator Kit 3 does work with the Treo 680. He went on to say that the Navigator 6.03 software in the new Kit is the same software Navigator software that you can get right now. And it will work for the Treo 680s right now. I asked him about how everyone says it doesn't work with the 680, but that I read about a patch that could fix the problem. He said stopped me and said that he is aware of the patch that is posted on Palminfocenter. But that I don't have to worry about all of that. He said that when the 680 was released it didn't not work. Palm and TomTom got together to find where the problem is. He said that together they found the problem to be in the 680 itself. As a result Palm has been making new 680s out of the factory that do work with the TomTom 6. He went on to say that any 680 that has not been recently purchased, will not work at all. The patch that Palm has released has nothing to do with it's functionality with TomTom 6. All of this seems to make sense.
The bottom line is, if the Navigator Kit 3 works with the 680 and Navigator software in the kit is the same as the current Navigator 6, then why wouldn't the Navigator 6 software work with the 680 now.
The answer is: It does work with the 680 now.
If you still think my information is incorrect then how can you explain the compatibility of the Navigator Kit 3 with the 680?
I know a lot of people have stated that the 680 does not work with TomTom 6, but I would suspect that most of these people purchased the 680 soon after its release. I am curious to hear from anyone who has purchased the 680 recently; if they are also experiencing problems.
Not doubting you, just somewhat confused as to this whole mess.
Well, my version of TomTom navigator 6 is version 6.01. That is the version that was on the DVD they sent to me last week. I *THINK* the version that was on the earlier kit I reviews a few months back was 6.00.
So let's say that TomTom has a 6.03 version set to ship in the box with the GPS Navigator Kit 3. 6.03 adds "official" support for Treo 680, 700wx, and 750, in addition to MiniSD cards and maybe a few other small tweaks etc. Andrew over at TreoNauts spoke to Palm directly at CES and they confirmed these details.
-The Palm GPS Navigator Kit 2 has been discontinued already and will be replaced very soon by the Navigator Kit 3.
-TomTom Navigator 6.03 (bundled with Kit 3) will work with all Treo 680s, regarldess or production date.
-Newly-built Treo 680s have been quietly "fixed" from the factory to work with all version of Navigator 6, even 6.01 and earlier versions.
-At some point around the release of Palm's Navigator Kit 3, TomTom will release a downloadable update to Navigator 6.03 for existing users.
That all seems a bit odd and confusing to the average user. But then again, both Palm and TomTom have very sketchy past track records about communicating with their customers in an honest & upfront manner.
Anyone else who has further info on this please feel free to chime in!
I just called TomTom again to verify my information. The Tech Support Rep confirmed what I told you earlier. He said that anyone who buys a Treo 680 today (or has purchased one recently) will be able to use Navigator 6 with it. He went on to say that the only reason the website does not officially say it supports it, is because of the initial release of the 680s; which do not work with Navigator 6. He said that Palm worked closely with TomTom to figure out what the problem was. It turned out the Palm did not have some it's configure set correctly in the initial batch of 680s. He said that Palm has fixed the problem and all 680s made today will be able to run the Navigator 6 with no problem. He said that he knows of several people who have recently purchased 680s and it works perfectly. I asked if it makes a difference if I have Navigator 6.01 or Navigator 6.03. He said it makes absolutely no difference. He emphasised that TomTom made no chances it's software for it to work with 680. TomTom worked with Palm to make sure Palm had the correct setting configuations in the manufacturing of the 680 to allow the Navigator 6 to work on the 680's. TomTom told me that the first batch of 680s that were sold will not support Navigator 6. Palm has not released any patches to allow the first batch of 680s run Navigator 6. It sounds like from what the Rep. was saying, that they will never be able to run Navigator 6. If people out there are able to hack the first round of 680s to run Navigator 6, that's fantastic. But on the whole, the first round of people who purchased the 680 are simply out of luck. I forgot to ask if the 680 can also run Navigator 5.
-TomTom Navigator 6.03 (bundled with Kit 3) will work with all Treo 680s, regardless or production date.
(Yes, for all versions of Navigator 6. Earlier versions I am not sure about.
(I believe the rep I spoke with last week said that the downloadable update to 6.03 is available now. But you would only know if you have Navigator 6.01 on your computer. I was told that the update happens threw the Navigator app that is on your computer (new to Navigator 6); not from going to the TomTom webpage.
One other thing. I think that your speedy delivery of Navigator 6 to your doorstep probably had something to do with living on the East Coast. As I stated earlier it took about 5 weeks for me to receive the Navigator 6 software. When Navigator 5 came out, I ordered it. They said it would be 3 to 4 weeks. It took about 5 weeks. I live in the Bay Area (California). I don't know why it would so much longer for someone living in California but I'm not surprised if it arrives quicker if you live in East Coast since TomTom is based in the East Coast. I would just say that I would be interested to hear from other people in the Bay Area or California, to see if they also have slow turn around time for delivery. I am hesitant to agree with your of easement of an overall Pro: "Fast shipping from TomTom", before I hear from the experiences of other people in the West Coast. In your defense, if I were reviewing it and it arrived in one weeks time, I would be thrill too. But after ordering two products from them and having both of them take about 5 weeks (where in both cases I ended up calling to find out what was going on with my order) I can't image I am the only person in California who has experienced this.
I have 5 and it works fine. Has anybody tried 6?
Read my PIC review of TT6 from a few months ago for a bit on how it works on the TX.
The general concensus is that it DOES run but it's pretty flaky and more sluggish than it is on the Treos.
Flushing the DBcache, running the maps & app from a smaller (1gb or so) SD card and keeping the TX's wi-fi radio turned off all seem to help the stability & performance of the app on the TX.
"I can imagine that European users would not have as pressing of a need to upgrade maps on an annual basis as American Road Warriors who have to battle urban sprawl and a constant influx of new roads, businesses and attractions when traveling."
Received my update this week.

Maybe the folks in Boston just think they are in a Big City, but the V6 maps are out of date with Big Dig reconstruction. Garmin has the maps correct last year, so I was surprised that TomTom V6 has outdated maps.
The new version that was just release has the version 6 software but a new cradle that attaches to the window.
Alsom, check your dates. My review was of the most *current* version at the time of the review's publication. The new GPS Navigator 3 kit was released on Feb 8th. I posted my review of the updated 2006 maps on January 24th (and they'd been out for a few weeks already at that point).
-Maps & Navigator app are pre-loaded onto a 1gb miniSD in the 3 kit. A full-size SD adapter is also supplied.
-2006 maps and the latest (6.03?) version of TomTom Navigator for Palm OS are standard in the box of the GPS 3 version. Through the end of March, a free upgrade (what was reviewed here) is available for owners of the older bundle.
With the TomTom update on Palm's support site, the current "free" map update promotion from TomTom, and Palm.com's lower price and mail-in rebate offer on the GPS 2 package, I see no real reason to buy the new 3 package unless one must absolutely have the new Treo custom mount for their vehicle.
Palm really didn't NEED to bring this mildly revised package onto the market. I think it was just an excuse to create a new SKU and, possibly, pave the way for whatever new Treos are in store for 2007 that will almost certainly bear a miniSD slot.

Assessment in a world without levels
26th February 2014 16th May 2017 By RS Assessment from Hodder EducationNo Comments
by Sue Walton, assessment consultant and part of the Rising Stars Assessment advisory team.
The wait for information about the Government's proposals for assessment in primary schools was a long one and it wasn't until July last year that we finally had sight of the proposals – and there were some surprises!
THE PROPOSALS IN OUTLINE
A key change was the abolition of national curriculum levels and level descriptions. The Government plans to give schools the freedom to carry out day-to-day formative assessment however they choose. So it will now be up to schools to decide what assessment regime they follow.
However, schools will still need to be able to demonstrate that pupils are making progress against the new curriculum. This means they will need to decide what evidence to collect to show to Ofsted and also what and how they report to parents.
These proposals mean that not only do schools now have a new curriculum to prepare for, they also have to create a new way of tracking their pupils' progress. This will be challenging. The new attainment targets have very general wording. They state that 'by the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant programme of study'. This is all well and good, but how should teachers go about deciding that each pupil can in fact apply and understand the curriculum as well as 'know' it? For example, does the pupil just need to demonstrate a skill in maths once, or do they need to do it several times? Continue reading →

Blood and Water chronicles the life of an American lobster-fisherman haunted by his father's ghost. Henry Michael Fischer wanted nothing more than to be like his forefathers; become a lobster-fisherman, get married and have a son of his own to carry on the family tradition. But when Henry suspects he is being haunted by his father's ghost, he must lay the past to rest, even if it means digging up his father's grave to return what has been taken - his identity.

If you follow this blog you know that I read a bit of everything, and this book was one that I did not know whether I would like at first but as I read it I was pleased to find it well written and filled with string characters.
The author writes in a straight forward manner and allows you to know right up front what you are getting yourself into as you are reading the story. That being said though the plot is still complex and the attention to detail was exquisite.
One of the things that I liked about this book though were the characters that are introduced as they are real people that you can relate to and the author does a fine job at doing just that.
In the end, this book was strong and the story that it shares is one that all should read, you will be drawn in and will not be expecting what is coming as you get to the end of this great tale.


Bring Change to Roose club sponsor Mr. Patrick Gleason suggested the sunshine mural that the girls soccer team painted on the back of Temp 2.
This year, the Bring Change to Roose club is creating a safe space intended to be a mental health break room in UL05, a classroom in the upper level of the library media center.
Senior Keny Cordero explained that the idea started last school year, when Cordero and fellow Senior Soyama Mulata wanted to help solve a growing problem among their junior class.
Cordero said that it will be "a place where kids who are struggling throughout the day" can go to calm down. She said they "saw a lot of people were struggling mentally" with stress, and that from there the idea of a mental health club and the Safe Space were born.
The room is empty now, but it is under construction with support and funding from Principal Reginald McNeill and the PTSA. The room has already been painted lavender purple and talks about furniture are in progress.
Cordero said that she hopes to get "a full-time school psychologist…that deals with purely emotional things" for the Safe Space, and club sponsor and English teacher Mr. Patrick Gleason said that "having a guidance counselor in there like one counselor per period" could be a realistic option.
In the meantime, Cordero and Mr. Gleason said they invite students to come out to Bringing Change to Roose.
According to Cordero, the club is paired with project Safe Space, and its goal is to give others the chance to freely "talk about mental health and ways to like improve the school." She added "I hope they learn about … different types of mental illness or, like, ways to cope with their own mental health and keep themselves healthy.
Mr. Gleason said he also hoped the club would help members leave a bit happier each time.
For member and senior Emma Allen, the club is a safe space.
"It allows for me and other members to have a safe space to discuss mental health and help each other learn healthy coping mechanisms. I think one of the most impactful aspects of it all is just not feeling alone when you are going through something rough" Allen said.
Bring Change to Roose meets every Monday from 3:30 to 4:30 in Room 205.
Vivian Chan, a Science and Technology Senior at Eleanor Roosevelt High School, is a member of the school's Journalism class.

Federal Court Rules Limos are "Taxicabs" for Purposes of Federal Overtime Exemption
By White, Nisar & Hilferty, LLP.
As a general rule, employees who work more than 40 hours during a given workweek are entitled to 150% of their regular pay–i.e., overtime–for any hours worked in excess of 40. As you might know, there are several groups of employees "exempt" from overtime pay requirements. For example, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the federal law governing overtime, "any driver employed by an employer engaged in the business of operating taxicabs" is not entitled to overtime.
Judges Look to 1930s Dictionaries to Interpret Law
On September 19, 2018, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals here in New York addressed an interesting question arising from this exemption: Does a limousine qualify as a taxicab? The defendant in this case operates a "chauffeured car service" based in Westchester. The company does not operate any traditional metered taxicabs, but rather maintains a fleet of five-person cars, SUVs, luxury vans, and similar vehicles. Individual drivers are required to wear a suit and tie, and they do not "choose their own jobs or pick up passengers," according to court records, but rather receive assignments from a central dispatch office. The defendant also operates a "taxi stand" under a contract with the Westchester County Airport.
In 2015, a group of approximately two dozen drivers sued the defendant, alleging they were illegally deprived of overtime pay under the FLSA. A district court judge granted summary judgment to the defendant. The Second Circuit affirmed the lower court's ruling.
The appeals court noted it had not previously "interpreted the taxicab exemption" under the FLSA. The law itself does not define "taxicab." At the time Congress adopted the FLSA, which was in 1938, there were several commonly used sources that contained a definition. For example, the Second Circuit pointed to the 1934 edition of Webster's New International Dictionary, which said a taxicab was a "passenger-carrying vehicle, usually a motor vehicle designed to seat five or seven persons, with or without a taximeter, maintained for hire on public thoroughfares or at public stations or stands, but not operated on a schedule." Similarly, the Motor Carrier Act, which Congress passed in 1935, defined taxicabs as a vehicle that was "not operated on a regular route or between fixed termini."
Based on this and related sources, the Second Circuit held that a taxicab had to meet three requirements:
It is a "chauffeured passenger vehicle";
It is "available for hire by individual members of the general public"; and
It has "no fixed schedule, fixed route, or fixed termini."
By this definition, the court concluded "there is no genuine dispute that [the defendant's] drivers qualify for the taxicab exemption." The fact that the defendant did not explicitly market itself as a taxi company–e.g., its cars were not yellow, drivers cannot pick up fares on the street, et cetera–does not affect what the actual service is "for purposes of the FLSA."
Speak with a New York Wage and Hour Lawyer Today
The Second Circuit's ruling is an unfortunate setback for chauffeured car drivers who are compelled to work long hours without the protections of overtime pay. Cases like this illustrate the complexity of wage and hour laws. If you have reason to believe your employer is not paying you what the law requires, you need to speak with a qualified [New York employment law attorney] as soon as possible.

To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Hephaestus Books continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.

Hephaestus Books publishes print-on-demand compilations of Wikipedia articles -- not original works. Caveat Emptor.
If you feel that doing a free search on Wikipedia is not worth your time compared to paying someone to print out Wikipedia articles for you, then these books may be of interest.
Works titled as "Novels of [Author], such as [novel1], [novel2]..." are very arguably deceptively advertised trademark violations, but reviews stating that they were scammed seem to be outnumbered by people uprating the original works mentioned (rather than the Hephaestus books about the original works). There are also reviewers who have not generally reviewed any other publishers' books apart from Hephaestus on GoodReads, who give the most effusive praise to these books.
"Hephaestus Books represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.

These collections of articles could be very useful for research as essentially all the research, including citations, is done for you and presented in one booklet. Although frankly since you can get the same information from Wikipedia, which is a free online resource whose members did the work, for free, which Hephaestus is selling to you, you may as well go there and get the work for free too.
If one is going to support the argument against Haephestus that one might as well go and get the work from Wikipedia because a lot of it, if not most, has just been collated from there, which would take time that researchers could devote to other work, then one must also carry the argument further and say that the Wikipedia articles are to a greater or lesser extent, summaries of research in books and media already available. So the logical argument is to go and get all the books and articles yourself and do the research and not take advantage of either Wikipedia or Hephaestus to collate and summarise this research for you.
Of course, Wikipedia does not charge you for their summarizing service.
