Meadows hosted wedding despite guidelines banning gatherings of more than 10 people: report | TheHill – The Hill
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows Mark Randall MeadowsTrump says COVID-19 diagnosis a 'blessing in disguise' Trump works from Oval Office six days after COVID-19 diagnosis Trump gambles with new stimulus strategy MORE reportedly hosted an indoor wedding for his daughter in May in Atlanta despite city and state health protocols that prohibited gatherings of more than 10 people to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained photographs of the lavish affair, which took place on May 31 at the Biltmore Ballrooms.

The Hill has reached out to Novare Events, which hosts special events at the Biltmore Ballrooms and other venues. The company refused to comment on the Meadows wedding when reached by the Journal-Constitution.
Photos obtained by the paper showed groups of people closely together in the same room before dancing to a live wedding band. Guests were reportedly served a three-course seated dinner.
A website containing the wedding's detail reportedly showed the wedding party consisting of 11 bridesmaids and eight groomsmen.
State officials told the paper that law enforcement could have written citations to the venue for hosting an event of that size.
The Journal-Constitution noted that Kemp has defied his own coronavirus rules by hosting a campaign rally in September with hundreds of unmasked attendees when his own mandates at the time banned gatherings of more than 50 people.

Study: Dubai has 'real estate X-factor'
by Arno Maierbrugger - Apr 20, 2014
Seven cities in East and South Asia, the Middle East and Australia – including Dubai – make up more than half of 'World City X-factor Ranking', according to real estate consultancy firm Savills. According to the study, global competitiveness, prominence, long-term appeal and stability have contributed to the real estate sector of Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, Dubai, Sydney and Mumbai. Connectivity, web search rankings and international tourist arrivals are the other factors that determined the 2014 ranking.
The report also noted that Singapore – the world's most expensive city – is currently tied in third place with Paris but is set to rival the top-ranking cities, New York and London, in the near future in terms of market performance. Tokyo, which takes sixth place, leads the residential and commercial real estate yield ranking and is "favoured by more adventurous investors."
Mumbai, Hong Kong and Shanghai are identified as the world's "hottest" property markets, with Hong Kong offering the best combined office and residential costs, while New York, Sydney and Moscow are the "coolest" markets, which are considered to have the biggest scope for growth.
"Non-prime mainstream housing stock is now an attractive buy for investors," said Yolanda Barnes, director of Savills World Research. "On a world stage, London's mainstream values look cool, while Dubai and Hong Kong look more fully valued. We now expect that secondary and even tertiary markets in our world cities could offer superior growth compared to prime over the next five years," she added.
Barnes named Istanbul, Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Bangkok as the second-tier cities to watch in the coming years that could offer good alternative to investors.
The Savills report compared the gross rental income to the ten-year government bond data in each country to determine the final list of twelve cities. The "investability" of these top-tier cities will shape the future of the world's property market, the report noted.

BRCA Challenge: BRCA Exchange as a global resource for variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2
Lookup NU author(s): Professor Sir John Burn
This is the final published version of an article that has been published in its final definitive form by Public Library of Science, 2018.
For re-use rights please refer to the publisher's terms and conditions.
The BRCA Challenge is a long-term data-sharing project initiated within the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) to aggregate BRCA1 and BRCA2 data to support highly collaborative research activities. Its goal is to generate an informed and current understanding of the impact of genetic variation on cancer risk across the iconic cancer predisposition genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2. Initially, reported variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 available from public databases were integrated into a single, newly created site, www.brcaexchange.org. The purpose of the BRCA Exchange is to provide the community with a reliable and easily accessible record of variants interpreted for a high-penetrance phenotype. More than 20,000 variants have been aggregated, three times the number found in the next-largest public database at the project's outset, of which approximately 6,150 have expert classifications. The data set is based on shared information from existing clinical databases—Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC), ClinVar, and the Leiden Open Variation Database (LOVD)—as well as population databases, all linked to a single point of access. The BRCA Challenge has brought together the existing international Evidence-based Network for the Interpretation of Germline Mutant Alleles (ENIGMA) consortium expert panel, along with expert clinicians, diagnosticians, researchers, and database providers, all with a common goal of advancing our understanding of BRCA1 and BRCA2 variation. Ongoing work includes direct contact with national centers with access to BRCA1 and BRCA2 diagnostic data to encourage data sharing, development of methods suitable for extraction of genetic variation at the level of individual laboratory reports, and engagement with participant communities to enable a more comprehensive understanding of the clinical significance of genetic variation in BRCA1 and BRCA2.

Cleveland Expected to Land 2022 NBA All-Star Game
Reports are indicating that the 2022 NBA All-Star Game will be played at Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Quicken Loans Arena has been viewed as a formidable contender for a future NBA All-Star Game, as it is undergoing a major renovation. The venue closed over the summer in order to accommodate a round of construction prior to the 2018-19 season, with another closing slated for next summer in order to complete the renovation project in time for the 2019-20 campaign.
Chicago's United Center and Indiana's Bankers Life Fieldhouse will host the All-Star Games in 2020 and 2021, respectively, but it appears that Cleveland is in line to land the event in 2022. An official announcement could come as soon as Thursday. More from Crain's Cleveland Business:
Multiple sources have told Crain's that the NBA and the Cleveland Cavaliers soon will announce that Quicken Loans Arena will host the 2022 NBA All-Star Game. The announcement, sources said, could occur as soon as Thursday, Nov. 1.
In December 2016, when The Q's transformation plan was first unveiled, the league said it looked forward to hosting its "week of NBA All-Star events in Cleveland in the near future." The announcement, the league said, would be contingent upon the completion of The Q's renovation project.
Construction on the arena — after quite a few twists and turns, which included a debate over the financing of the project — started on Sept. 14, 2017, beating the NBA's deadline by a day. But the major work didn't begin until June, after the Cavs' fourth consecutive run to the NBA Finals. The project has since increased to $185 million, $115 million of which will be funded by the Cavs, and is scheduled to be completed prior to the 2019-20 NBA season.
The potential to land more major events was one of the selling points of Quicken Loans Arena's renovation, and a NBA All-Star Game would fit in with those plans. Once the renovation is complete, it will result in new social spaces, a glass front entrance, new and renovated premium areas, and more.

Nurses across America are feeling challenged by the events of this year — most especially by the COVID-19 pandemic. But nurses also offer resources and solutions in these crises that no one else can. Working across the spectrum of care, our profession has perspective on the needs of patients, populations, and the system as a whole — a much-needed unifying view in these divisive times.
In the coming weeks, we'll be using this space to share that perspective as it has been developed by our Population Health in Nursing (PHIN) team. This group's work is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and grew out of previous foundation-sponsored research on the profession's ability to address unmet social needs. Over the next few weeks, they'll be sharing insights on population health, nursing, and the response to COVID-19.
The PHIN team's expertise is based on a two-phase study that began in 2018. The full text of the study's reports can be found here, but we thought we would provide a brief summary to give context to the upcoming posts.
PHIN Phase 1
In the first stage of the PHIN study, the team explored how population health is taught in nursing schools. The team initially collected data using a 26-question survey answered by an array of nurses and health professionals from many different backgrounds. Additional in-depth interviews were conducted with 26 leaders in nursing and public health. Finally, the team conducted six site visits to nursing schools to learn more about their models for teaching population health. In the resulting report, "Nursing Education and the Path to Population Health Improvement," the group shared a list of necessary elements to better integrate population health into nursing education. In particular, they emphasized the need for mutually beneficial academic-practice partnerships.
In the second stage of the PHIN study, the team turned their attention to the many settings where population health is practiced by nurses. Determined to look beyond traditional clinical and public health settings, the team worked with RWJF to assemble a summit of thought leaders in population health and nursing. These leaders encouraged the team to investigate platforms for interdisciplinary collaboration and improved engagement with marginalized communities. The team once again used in-depth interviews and site visits to learn more — not just about what nurses are doing now, but about their potential roles in community settings. In the resulting report, "Population Health Models and the Profession of Nursing," the team shared several different ways in which these relationships could work. Their conclusions emphasized the need for nurses to understand other social systems and collaborate with professionals who can help them improve health within those systems.
PHIN Conclusions
Finally, after completing the two research phases of the project, the PHIN team released "Population Health and the Future of Nursing Conclusions," in which they reflected on the meaning of their findings. The team argued that by taking responsibility for the problem of social needs assessment across the care continuum, the profession of nursing can assume a central role in new population health efforts and enhance the well-being of all. The report also made the case for innovation in nursing while acknowledging that nurses have been advancing the field of population health since the days of Florence Nightingale.
The COVID-19 epidemic in the United States began shortly after the PHIN team finished their work. Since then, they have continued to meet and advise the Campaign for Action on what their findings mean for nurses during the pandemic. Those discussions form the basis of the posts they will share here. These short articles will address the role nurses can play in social needs assessment in the pandemic, changing needs for data and technology skills, the need for adaptable academic-practice partnerships, and ongoing challenges for nurse leadership during the crisis. We look forward to the PHIN team's thoughts and the discussions they will inspire.

Addictive, Harmful Vaping Is Super Cool on TikTok
Watch videos on TikTok and you're likely to see plenty of positive portrayals of vaping, a new study shows.
And that's a problem, according to researchers, who call for tighter regulation of the platform popular with kids and teens.
"Viewing other young people, friends, acquaintances or influencers vaping in fun and entertaining contexts, is likely to normalize e-cigarette use and make it a behavior to emulate," said a team led by Tianze Sun, from The National Centre for Youth Substance Use Research at the University of Queensland in Australia.
Prior research has found that the prevalence of e-cigarette use within the previous month among U.S. high school students has risen threefold, from around 9% in 2014 to over 27% in 2019. Vaping typically contains addictive nicotine.
TikTok is the fastest growing social media platform worldwide, with 800 million monthly users who spend an average of 52 minutes on it and watch more than 200 videos a day. One-third of its U.S. users are 14 or younger.
In the new study, Sun's group first identified the most popular vaping hashtags based on the number of TikTok views on one day in November 2020.
They also collected publicly available links for the 1,000 most popular vaping-related videos from TikTok's start date in January 2019 to November 2020. After removing duplicates and videos unrelated to vaping, the final sample contained 808 videos.
Collectively, these videos were viewed over 1.5 billion times. They had an average view count of 1 million and an average "likes" count of 143,000.
About 63% of videos portrayed e-cigarette use positively. These were collectively viewed over 1.1 billion times. About 24% had neutral depictions of e-cigarette use. Those were viewed a total of 290 million times. About 13% had negative depictions and were viewed a total of 193 million times, the findings showed.
The numbers of views, likes, user categories and themes were then independently reviewed and categorized in seven principal themes. More than half were "comedy and joke" messages, and about one-third were "lifestyle and acceptability." The other themes were marketing, vaping tricks, nicotine and addiction, creativity or how-to tutorials, and warnings.
The findings were published online July 26 in the journal Tobacco Control.
TikTok's community guidelines restrict uploading videos featuring "the depiction, promotion, or trade of drugs or other controlled substances." Advertising of tobacco and alcohol products is also banned on the platform.
However, there was plenty of content displaying vaping and "previous studies have indicated that exposure to vaping-related content among youth is associated with e-cigarette use," Sun's team said in a journal news release. They believe that, "considering vaping-related videos are widely accessible on TikTok, there is an urgent need to consider age restrictions to reduce youth uptake."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more on lung injuries associated with vaping.

<img src="http://spotmotorcycles.zipgolfer.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/B000LMRSMK.jpg" alt="Jafrum Saddlebags " align="right" />Four years ago, I would not risk buying inexpensive bags. Why take a chance at dissatisfaction when you can just drop another $50 and buy some confidence? Well, like I said, that was four years ago, and this old economy ain't what she used to be. Now, I look for every bargain, and I doubt I'll ever go back to investing in a false sense of security.
Jafrum's bags, which have no cleaver names like "Extreme Velocity," are surprisingly inexpensive. Thick cowhide leather is held together by reinforced stitching and a 2-year warranty. Part of that warranty includes a money back guarantee for a full year.
So, now that your mind is at ease, these bags are 15 inches long, 12 inches high, and 7 inches wide. The inside is laminated with rubber, and the outside is chrome studded. Mounting is easy with leather tie-downs and an adjustable center strap. The architecture is made to prevent tire rubbing and flopping.
If you like to compartmentalize and organize, you might want to look at a set of synthetic sport bags. The Jafrum bags are very basic, but they do boast a classic cruiser style that will meld in with any cruiser make.
The two striking most features of these saddlebags are the price and the leather. If you're looking for leather that isn't so expensive that it must have once-shrouded Kobe beef, these may be right for you and your bike.


The idea we had for a Sega Streamcast idea... was similar to a Steam Link, but it had its own interface, classic games built-in, discounts on Sega games for every owner of the unit and a way to stream movies (via Netflix, etc). It really sounds like it, but if its Linux based and they're leaving the door open to more... it may be the system for Linux users. One thing about Linux users, they may not get as much mainstream love... but they support those who show love to them (not just superficially).
If the Linux base was the main reason ATARI surpassed its $100,000 goal by over 2000% placing it in a multimillion-dollar pond of crowdfunding success... I'm not surprised. It could be based on the interest most may have in the modifications if it's truly customizable. If the ATARI VCS is something that allows you to swap out memory cards, graphics cards, and all that good stuff... it could truly be a different type of system worth the purchase (if its solid). If it's similar to a Steam Link or more so a Steam Machine... I wouldn't consider it competition to the big 3 at all... and that wouldn't be a bad thing. Right now it's still an enigma to most, but once they show and prove what it will be in its final form... that will help me determine whether its a yay or nay. I'll leave you with the video. Game on!

Becoming Willa Cather
Creation and Career
Author: Daryl W. Palmer
Format: Cloth
From the girl in Red Cloud who oversaw the construction of a miniature town called Sandy Point in her backyard, to the New Woman on a bicycle, celebrating art and castigating political abuse in Lincoln newspapers, to the aspiring novelist in New York City, committed to creation and career, Daryl W. Palmer's groundbreaking literary biography offers a provocative new look at Willa Cather's evolution as a writer.
Willa Cather has long been admired for O Pioneers! (1913), Song of the Lark (1915), and My Ántonia (1918)—the "prairie novels" about the lives of early Nebraska pioneers that launched her career. Thanks in part to these masterpieces, she is often viewed as a representative of pioneer life on the Great Plains, a controversial innovator in American modernism, and a compelling figure in the literary history of LGBTQ America. A century later, scholars acknowledge Cather's place in the canon of American literature and continue to explore her relationship with the West.
Drawing on original archival research and paying unprecedented attention to Cather's early short stories, Palmer demonstrates that the relationship with Nebraska in the years leading up to O Pioneers! is more dynamic than critics and scholars thought. Readers will encounter a surprisingly bold young author whose youth in Nebraska served as a kind of laboratory for her future writing career. Becoming Willa Cather changes the way we think about Cather, a brilliant and ambitious author who embraced experimentation in life and art, intent on reimagining the American West.
Daryl W. Palmer is an author and professor of English at Regis University in Denver, Colorado.
I cannot think of any Cather volume quite like this one. It is a welcome and innovative contribution to the existing literature. This book will appeal to the broad cross-section of committed lay readers as well as to practicing scholars.
Timothy W. Bintrim, Professor of English, Saint Francis University
Becoming Willa Cather sets out to account for Willa Cather's emergence as a major figure in American writing in the first half of the twentieth century—in recent years it has become clear that she is arguably the preeminent novelist of the 1920s and 1930s, and perhaps the first half of the twentieth century. Only Faulkner contends with her. Throughout, the book demonstrates that the West generally, and Nebraska particularly, was crucial to Cather's emergence as the significant writer she became. Particularly prominent in Becoming Willa Cather are analyses of Cather's early short stories and also some of her poetry, work that has been either unevenly considered (the stories) or almost completely neglected (the poetry) by critics.
Robert Thacker, Dana Professor of Canadian Studies & English Emeritus, St. Lawrence University


MANILA, Philippines — Filipino women forced into prostitution by the Japanese military during World War II have marched to the Japanese Embassy to demand justice and to criticize President Benigno Aquino III's silence on the issue during his recent visit to Japan.
Six women in their 80s and some two dozen supporters and activists picketed the embassy Wednesday to call on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to apologize and compensate them for their ordeal.
They say Japan must go beyond statements and resolve the issue following its landmark 1993 apology for forcing Asian women into wartime prostitution.
A Japanese panel last week confirmed the validity of a study that led to Japan's 1993 apology. Abe has been criticized for backpedaling from past Japanese acknowledgements of wartime atrocities.


For the second time in as many days, a report from Asia claims that Apple plans to bring the "Force Touch" technology from the Apple Watch to the next-generation iPhone and double the forthcoming handset's built-in RAM to 2 gigabytes.
In addition to the extra gigabyte of RAM, Apple will likely move to new LPDDR4 chips, according to TechNews Taiwan. LPDDR4 is rated for twice the bandwidth of LPDDR3— found in the iPhone 6 series— while keeping power consumption the same.
Samsung, Hynix, and Micron-Elpida are expected to split the RAM orders for the so-called "iPhone 6S."
Apple calls Force Touch its "most significant new sensing capability since Multi‑Touch," lending some amount of credence to the idea that it could expand beyond the Apple Watch. Such a move would also require a corresponding switch to a flexible display material, however— electrodes surrounding the Apple Watch's OLED display detect the level of deformation caused by the user's press, a measurement not possible with rigid displays.
It also remains unclear exactly how Apple would make use of Force Touch if it does makes its way to the iPhone. A report from earlier this week suggested that Apple may employ it to enable more accurate sensing of users' pulse and blood pressure, though that seems unlikely.

NSA Phone Records: Why Is the Government Able to Obtain Your Phone Records, Anyway?
ByRick Galvez
As the details of a secret government program to collect the phone records of a Verizon Wireless subsidiary come out, the public is asking legitimate questions as to the limits — or lack thereof — of the government's ability to spy on us.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ruling — marked TOP SECRET//SI//NOFORN, a designation of utmost secrecy meaning that only U.S. citizens with the proper security clearance may see it — allows the National Security Agency (NSA) to obtain all call logs "between the United States and abroad" or "wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls."
This does not include the content of those calls, but the document raises a lot of questions. What is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC)? What does the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) allow it to do? Can the government legally spy on me?
FISA was passed in 1977 as a check on the power of the executive after the Nixon administration was caught using federal intelligence mechanisms to spy on political opponents. It therefore "created a warrant procedure for foreign intelligence investigations so that there would no longer be any foreign intelligence surveillance without court oversight." It was repeatedly amended after 9/11, including in the PATRIOT Act, to incorporate terrorist groups and individuals.
This wasn't just any court oversight — the act created a new super-secret court, the FISC. In order to get FISC authorization to spy, "a significant purpose of the surveillance must be to gather foreign intelligence information — information about foreign spies, foreign terrorists, and other foreign threats — instead of evidence of a crime." So, the burden of proof lies not on evidence of wrongdoing, but evidence of being a "foreign power" or "foreign agent." Additionally, the individual(s) being spied on are at no point aware of it.
So, who's a foreign agent? Welcome to the murky gray area of legal bureaucracy in which justifications for questionable activities love to reside. A foreign power is vaguely described as a group owned or operating on behalf of a foreign government or engaged in "international terrorism." A foreign agent is anyone who works for a foreign government, spies on the U.S., or — importantly — engages or plans to engage in "international terrorism."
Careful on that last one. How are we defining "international terrorism?" Well, there's the standard "violent acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States." But there's also activities that "appear to be intended" to intimidate civilians or influence government policy by use of violence or intimidation. Sounds extremely vague and largely open to interpretation. This might not be such a big deal if the people tasked with interpreting this weren't operating under extreme secrecy.
However, let's not forget about Congress, which has oversight over the process. In fact, "For several years, two Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon and Senator Mark Udall of Colorado, have been cryptically warning that the government was interpreting its surveillance powers under that section of the Patriot Act in a way that would be alarming to the public if it knew about it." In fact, they wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder (this guy can't catch a break) in which they said that "most Americans would be stunned to learn of the details of how these secret court opinions have interpreted section 215 of the Patriot Act." Section 215 of the Patriot Act amended FISA, allowing the government to gather intelligence from U.S. and non-U.S. citizens.
It seems as if the Obama administration — and Bush's before him — are using the complicated, secret nature of this legislation to essentially spy on whomever it can provide a justification for. Since the wording is so vague, Americans are (and should be) nervous about the power afforded to government agencies. Congress should use this opportunity to introduce new legislation putting significant checks on the power that FISA and subsequent amendments afford, which was ironically the purpose of the original FISA being passed in the first place.


Weather fronts come and go quickly on the west coast of Ireland.
If you take some time to look, you can appreciate how they transform the landscape and give us different tableaux, each proposing a mood, a shade, or a focus you have not seen before and that will soon disappear.
This painting caught one of these moments.
A sunny interval on the Burren's shore make the sea shimmers with silver reflections.

RICH GIRL, a sure to please the audience production at Cleveland Play House
(Member, American Theatre Critics Association, Cleveland Critics Circle)
The plot: self-made vindictive wealthy person, inhibited daughter, handsome suitor who may be after her money, parent attempts to torpedo the relationship. Sound familiar? It should. That's basically the storyline of the Henry James novella WASHINGTON SQUARE and the play and film, THE HEIRESS. It's also the basic description of Victoria Stewart's RICH GIRL which takes from the past, but the play which is opening Cleveland Play House's 2013 NEW. THEATRE. FESTIVAL., adds comedy, infuses a little intrigue, and takes a 21st century twist.
The story centers on Eve and her daughter, Claudine. Eve, is a self-made woman with a very large chip on her shoulder regarding men, and a mission to make sure that all women of means go into marriage with a pre-nup.
Eve's marriage, which produced Claudine, ended when her husband, after years of being supported by Eve, walked out when he finally "made it." Eve develops a large foundation with a healthy endowment. She becomes a television empire financial expert and evangelist–think CNBC's Suze Ormand–with a large female following.
Obsessive compulsive Eve manages the world around her. She controls the foundation, her assistant, her daughter, her apartment, and everything that enters her sphere, even, for a while, the cancer which she has fought into remission. Suddenly her sphere is invaded by Henry, a young, handsome and charismatic theatrical actor and director, who attended a prestigious eastern academy with the shy, inhibited, klutzy Claudine. Henry has applied to the foundation for funding. Claudine, who is an intern at the foundation, has been told to refuse him.
She does so, but much to Eve's displeasure, the duo gradually develop a relationship. Mamma dearest suspects Henry's only interest in the daughter, who she perceives as having many negative physical and psychological characteristics, is his desire to latch on to Claudine's money.
What follows is both a funny and intriguing tale of women and their relationships with men, other women, and money, which ends with Claudine having to make a decision about whether to agree with her mother about Henry's intensions.
Stewart's script is well-written, though one might question whether the ending would have been more emotionally wrought if the last blackout would have come fifteen second earlier. (No, I won't reveal what happens as it ruins the ending.) As is, the conclusion leaves us semi-hanging, rather than completely left on our own to figure out the outcome.
The production, with this same cast and director, premiered the play at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey this past March to very positive reviews.
The cast is headed by Lakewood native Dee Hoty who earned her equity card at CPH. She went on from here to become one of Broadway's favorite leading ladies, earning three Tony nominations.
Later this month she will be inducted into the Cleveland Play House's Hall of Fame. Past inductees include Joel Gray, Dom DeLuise, Margaret Hamilton, Ed Asner, David Frazier, and Marlo Thomas. Each of the inductees has made "meaningful contributions to CPH."
Hoyt dominates the stage as Eve. This is a focused, well conceived characterization. She doesn't portray the character, but consumes it from beginning to end.
Crystal Finn well transforms from the inhibited Claudine, who we meet early, into a motivated leader, who we view at the conclusion. But, even channeling in that growth, Finn has developed a person who still retains the underlying vulnerability of a girl/woman with insecurities.
Liz Larsen, creates the proper levels of humor and sincerity as Maggie, Eve's assistant and Claudine's only true friend. She has a nice touch for comedy.
Tony Roach is convincing as Henry, Claudine's handsome suitor. He wisely develops the role so that we are never quite sure if he is a charlatan, after Claudine's money, or a nice guy who loves and wants to protect her
Wilson Chin's set design allows for easy flow from restaurant, to television studio, to grand New York apartment. This is another good example of the value of CPH's move into its new homes. The effects that Chin creates on the thrust stage would have been impossible in the theatre's previous proscenium arched spaces.
Michael Bloom has paced the show well, aided the cast to develop focused characterizations, and done a nice job of building both the humor and the pathos.
CAPSULE JUDGMENT: RICH GIRL grabs and holds the attention, the cast is strong, and the technical aspects excellent. Go see this sure-fire audience pleaser!
RICH GIRL runs through May 19 at the Second Stage Theatre of the Allen complex in PlayhouseSquare. For tickets call 216-241-6000 or go to www.clevelandplayhouse.com.

Do you see yourself in any of the pics?
Not a single one, but sadly my invitation did not extend to the meet and greet part. While that was going on, I was sitting inside with a bunch of the radio execs.
I couldn't agree with you more. I wore a nice dress and my husband was in a suit. But I will say it was KJ's fault because if you won tickets you were told to show up at 7 and polish your cowboy boots and that was ALL you were told!
That message would be confusing. I would dress well also. Good for you.

Diaries Of A Hero - Behind The Mask
Review by: Justin Hulford
Produced by: Diaries Of a Hero
Label: Red Pony Records
Thinking I had my hands on something new it appears this has been around for ages and is being pushed solely in conjunction with a big tour buy on for the band. That said it doesn't seem to have much web presence for its eighteen months of existence.
In fact the first thing I did find read more like a promo than a review. Odd.
So what of it? Riffs fly along to open "Shine Upon The Sun" before the vocal heralds a slightly jumbled attempt at something vaguely progressive.
It feels a little like they are trying a bit too hard and whilst lively it is a fairly simple song that is let down by a slightly tinny edge to the production.
After an odd fade out it gives way to the title track that has, vocally at least, a grimier edge to it with a few growls that are more welcome than the vague whine of the opener's vocal delivery. It's just an all round better track and very different in style.
And that's a bit of a theme as this lives up to its own loose label of "metal" to float around various sub genres. It means a lack of identity and consistency is evident. The lead guitar parts are the best of the components although the whole thing is quite basic in its arrangements.
There is a lean towards the metalcore vibe that seems to be creeping back into vogue in a few songs. But what that does begin to mean is that the lead parts start to feel a little similar, regardless of how clean and fluid they are. Again this just reinforces the lack of who the band are.
It begins to feel like a magazine sampler CD. There's a few highlights such as the more thoughtful and mid paced "Scars Of Addiction" but not a lot that would see me craving more and certainly nothing musically memorable.

New Markets Venture Partners' Latest Edtech Fund Closes at $68 Million
Exclusive | Investors
By Tony Wan May 16, 2018

When New Markets Venture Partners first began fundraising for its second education technology investment fund, Barack Obama was in office, Brexit was for up for debate and iPhones still had headphone jacks.
Now, more than two years later, New Markets is finally calling it a wrap. Its latest fund, dubbed "New Markets Education Partners II," formally and finally closed on April 30, totalling $68 million.
The firm plans to invest up to $5 million into Series A, Series B and recapitalization rounds for education companies serving pre-kindergarten to professional learners, with a focus on digital learning, learning sciences, analytics and workforce development services.
Already, roughly 15 percent, or about $10 million of the fund's $68 million total, have been invested across seven companies: Credly, LearnPlatform, Motimatic, Noodle Partners, Pairin, Practice and Signal Vine. The firm aims to invest in up to another seven U.S. companies over the next five years, and it has set aside a portion to support follow-up investments should a company decide to raise future rounds.
It may have felt like a different world when New Markets began fundraising in January 2016. But while the process may have seemed unusually long, that was not unexpected, according to Jason Palmer, who joined New Markets as a general partner that November.
Part of the reason, he said in an interview with EdSurge, was that New Markets took a "counterintuitive approach to raising money" that bucks conventional tech-investing wisdom. "We don't focus on San Francisco and New York companies, but on cities that are off the beaten track," he says. Making that pitch to funders, Palmer adds, "required a certain amount of persuading to show that the best education companies come elsewhere." (Still, three of the New Markets' seven investments from this fund are based in one of those startup hotspots.)
It's a bold, but not entirely unfounded, thesis. The mid-Atlantic region near New Markets' headquarters in Fulton, Maryland is home to some of the education industry's biggest names, including Blackboard, EverFi, Laureate Education and 2U. And according to Palmer's research, 21 of the 23 largest exits in the edtech industry have come from companies based outside of New York or the San Francisco Bay Area.

The backers for New Markets' latest fund hail from a broad geography as well, including Iowa-based ACT (which contributed $10.5 million), Lumina Foundation and Strada Education Network (both based in Indianapolis), ECMC Group (headquartered in Minnesota) and Newark-based Prudential Financial.
This marks the second time that Lumina and Strada have supported a New Markets investment fund. (They last did so in 2013.) For Brad Kelsheimer, Lumina's vice president and chief financial officer, this effort supports the nonprofit's aim to achieve market-rate investment returns from companies that align with its mission to support postsecondary learners. The partnership also helps surface new tools and services. In 2016, both New Markets and Lumina invested in Credly's seed round—marking Lumina's first direct investment in a for-profit company.
It also gives the foundation a lens into the challenging realities of the edtech startup ecosystem.
"The biggest thing we've learned is the long incubation period for seed-stage investments to grow, Kelsheimer says, "and the fact that it's a very slow sales cycle into the traditional higher education system."
New Markets' Market Forecast
Over the years, New Markets' Palmer, whose career includes stints at Microsoft, Kaplan and the Gates Foundation, has learned to read market cues from federal legislation. In an op-ed reflecting on his career in the education industry, Palmer wrote that "policy's invisible hand can be 10 to 100 times more powerful than Adam Smith's free market."
Today, he believes that the Every Student Succeeds Act is the latest linchpin policy to shape the K-12 market. By raising the bar for "evidence-based" interventions and educational services, ESSA "requires school districts to be much more deliberate and intentional about adopting products with proven efficacy," Palmer says. That means that "the companies we invest in are efficacy-focused and engaging in third-party studies to make sure the products work."
Palmer also points to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act as another driver of innovation—and federal funding—for career-related services. In particular, he's smitten with how learners will be prepared for the emergence of "new collar" jobs (a term often attributed to IBM CEO Ginni Rometty) in industries that require technical training but not necessarily a traditional four-year degree.
"There is a huge skills gap in what companies want for middle-skilled positions," he says, that represents an opportunity for companies and schools to provide that training—even for high school graduates who may eschew the four-year college path.
In light of these opportunities, Palmer maintains that New Markets is a "valuation-conscious investor and focused on investing in companies at rational valuations." What he steers clear of are those companies that attract "stratospheric" interest without strong supporting financials.
That discipline also requires keeping an eye out for investment gaps. At a time when investors seem to have cooled off from K-12 deals, Palmer notes, the firm "will focus more in K-12 because it's not very crowded anymore." One deal that's in the works, he teased, is a startup focused on STEM and computer science.
With measured expectations come measured results. New Markets' may not have reaped the windfall returns that many tech investors swoon over, but it has seen eight exits over the past six years. Acquired portfolio companies include Starfish Retention Solutions (by Hobson's), Moodlerooms (by Blackboard), ThinkThrough Learning (by Imagine Learning), and Practice (by Instructure). The only acquisition with a disclosed valuation was Questar's $127.5 million sale last year to Educational Testing Service.
To date, New Markets has invested nearly $30 million across 23 education technology companies since its founding in 2003.
At a time when many venture capital firms tout and celebrate the valuation of companies in their portfolios, "we gauge our success on cash exits and returns to our limited partners," Palmer quips. Given that New Markets has tapped previous investors to re-commit to this new fund, it seems like their backers should have reason to be optimistic.

Siasat.com/Top Stories/Allahabad HC summons top UP govt officials in Hathras rape case
Allahabad HC summons top UP govt officials in Hathras rape case
The court, which appeared especially upset over the police cremating the teen's body overnight allegedly
Mansoor Hameed| Updated: 2nd October 2020 2:59 am IST
The Allahabad High Court has asked the Uttar Pradesh government to file a counter-affidavit (reply) furnishing information regarding all the schools in the state that have no students.
Lucknow: Shocked by the alleged gang-rape and murder of a 19-year-old Dalit woman in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh and her forcible cremation subsequently, a Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Thursday summoned top government officials to the court.
A division bench of justices Rajan Roy and Jaspreet Singh ordered Uttar Pradesh additional chief secretary, state police chief, and an additional director general of police to appear before it on October 12 to explain the incident.
Taking suo moto cognizance of the case, which has triggered widespread outrage, the bench also ordered Hathras district magistrate and superintendent of police to appear to apprise the court of various aspects of the case, including the ongoing probe into it.
The court, which appeared especially upset over the police cremating the teen's body overnight allegedly forcibly in Hathras without her parent's consent, asked officials to come prepared with all the relevant material and documents to apprise the court of their versions of the incident.
The incidents which took place after the death of the victim on September 29, 2020, leading up to her cremation, as alleged, have shocked our conscience. Therefore, we are taking suo moto cognizance of the same, the bench said in its order.
The bench also asked the late teen's parents to come to the court to apprise it of their versions of the incident and ordered the Hathras district administration to arrange for their travel to the court and facilitate their appearance before it.
In a replication of the December 2012 Nirbhaya case horrors, the Dalit teen was allegedly sexually assaulted by four men on September 14 in a Hathras village and admitted to the AMU's Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital in Aligarh in a critical condition.
She was on Monday referred to Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital in an extremely critical condition with spinal injuries, paralysis, and cuts in her tongue and died on early Tuesday, triggering widespread outrage, protests, and calls for justice.
The Hathras police, however, took her body to her native district and allegedly cremated her overnight without her parent's consent.
The judges said they were inclined to examine whether there had been a gross violation of the Fundamental Rights of the deceased and her family members and if the state authorities acted oppressively, high-headedly, and illegally to violate these rights.
The rights of individual citizens in the country and the state especially that of the poor and the downtrodden such as the family members of the deceased victim and the deceased herself are paramount.
The Courts of Law are under a bounden duty to see that the said rights available under the Constitution are protected at all costs and the state does not, in its misplaced endeavor for political or administrative reasons, transgress the limits of its powers to encroach and violate such rights, especially in the case of poor and the weak, observed the bench while summoning UP government officials.
If it is found to be so, then, this would be a case where accountability will not only have to be fixed but for future guidance, but also stern action would be required, warned a shocked bench
We would like to examine if the economic and social status of the deceased's family has been taken advantage of by the state authorities to oppress and deprive them of their Constitutional rights, the bench said.
The bench also expressed its intention to monitor the ongoing probe into the case by an SIT set up by the UP government and possibly transfer the case to some independent investigation agency, if the probe result does not inspire confidence.
We have also pondered that an SIT has been constituted by the state government in the matter. We leave it open for our consideration on future dates, as to the necessity of monitoring the investigation or getting it conducted through an independent agency as per law, the bench said.
The bench took cognizance of the case based on news reports in various national dailies and TV news channels and also asked them to assist the court in the adjudication of the matter by submitting their news source material in a pen drive or a compact disc.
Besides putting the state government's officials on notice, the bench also asked its registry to communicate the order to the state advocate general and chief standing counsel to respond in the matter.
The bench also appointed senior advocate J N Mathur and Abhinav Bhattacharya as amicus curiae to assist the court in the matter.
The bench began its order with a couplet written by Mahatma Gandhi and also quoted Oscar Wilde, who said, "Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth with the grasses wearing above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace."
The court, however, lamented that the death of the Hathras teen had none of these poetic elements in it.

ApeCoin Jumps 36% as Another Side Unveils Its Metaverse
ApeCoin has surged nearly 36% over the past three days.
The spike in volatility coincides with the first demo release of Otherside.
Further upward pressure could help APE hit $7.50.
ApeCoin has enjoyed a significant spike in buying pressure that coincides with the demo release of Yuga Labs' Metaverse world, Otherside.
ApeCoin Gains Bullish Momentum
ApeCoin appears to be breaking out after Yuga Labs dropped a demo for its highly-anticipated Otherside Metaverse.
The Bored Ape Yacht Club creator shared a demo version of Otherside over the weekend, inviting thousands of the game's NFT holders to take a first look at its Metaverse. The demo release was one of the "First Trips" allowing owners of the game's virtual land plots, dubbed Otherdeeds, to participate in the game.
Yuga released a litepaper shortly after dropping the Otherside demo, giving some early hints of how the project will progress. The first development phase includes a storyline game mode "surrounding a mysterious Obelisk that has appeared in the Otherside universe." The second and third phases have yet to be released, but players will play a vital role in shaping the "core capabilities of the platform."
"In order to plant the seeds for a successful community, we are starting development on the Otherside with Voyagers, who are our first adopters and believers. They are a crucial part of Otherside's history and are invited to join the Voyager's Journey," the litepaper reads.
ApeCoin plays a vital role in Otherside as it is the game's official currency. When Yuga sold off Otherdeeds NFTs in what turned into a calamitous auction that clogged Ethereum in April, interested buyers were required to use APE to pay for their virtual land plots.
Now, ApeCoin has seen its price surge by nearly 36% since the demo was dropped on Saturday. APE rallied from a low of $4.60 to hit a high of $6.30 early Monday. Further buying pressure around the current price level could result in more significant gains as the broader cryptocurrency market enjoys new tailwinds.
APE/USD 12-hour chart (Source: TradingView)
ApeCoin appears to have broken out of an ascending triangle that had developed on its 12-hour chart. This technical formation anticipates a 42% upswing towards $7.50 as long as prices remain above $5.30.
Failing to hold above $5.30 could lead to a spike in profit taking. That could mean ApeCoin drops to $4.30, potentially invalidating the optimistic outlook.
