4 Myths About In-Person Work and Events
Social psychologist Heidi Grant and EY Americas Chief Learning Officer Tal Goldhamer weighed in on commonly held beliefs about working — and networking — in person.
Author: Casey Gale
To make the most of in-person work and business opportunities for connection, companies or organizations need to make them voluntary, strategic, and intentional.
The desire among younger employees to work remotely is not going away, a recent Harvard Business Review article said. In the article, social psychologist Heidi Grant and EY Americas Chief Learning Officer Tal Goldhamer discussed the commonly held beliefs about working — and networking — in person. We're sharing their four myths about in-person work for our 2023 Events Industry Forecast.
Myth No. 1: In-person learning is more effective. "The idea that learning is more effective in person is demonstrably false. In fact, because it rarely affords opportunities for meaningful practice and feedback, in-person learning often is less impactful than well-designed virtual live learning and eLearning."
Myth No. 2: In-person events help create culture. "Culture is what we experience all day, every day, working at a particular company — it is decidedly not what we experience when we step away from the 'normal' routine for various workshops and keynotes with nice buffet dinners and drinks."
Myth No. 3: People need a break from their screens. "When attending multiday learning programs and events, many people experience greater stress from the backlog of work and emails that pile up. The solution must be a long-term approach to employee well-being, not a single show of in-person workshops."
Myth No. 4: Networking and connection can only happen in person. "With time and a little more practice, we'll do what human beings have always done when new ways of communicating emerged (think of the telephone, emailing, texting, and social media): We'll get the hang of it."

Shame Reveal Creepy New Video for "Dust On Trial"
By Lizzie Manno | November 29, 2018 | 8:00am
Photo by Holly Whitaker Music News Shame
After the release of their debut album Songs of Praise earlier this year, British post-punk quintet Shame have shared a new video for their track "Dust on Trial."
Earlier this week, Paste shared our list of the best albums of 2018, ranking Shame's Songs of Praise at number 12. In our full review of the album, Madison Desler wrote, "Shame make familiar but not unawesome post-punk. Think tightly wound, jittery guitars, mile-a-minute hi-hat and an exquisite bleakness that stems from their municipal origin." Paste also caught Shame's storming set at Austin City Limits this year, complete with frontman Charlie Steen's trademark lurking, stomping and sweaty grin, and bassist Josh Finerty's various unhinged acrobatics.
The band's video for "Dust On Trial" reads like a slasher film, though it stops short of showing us the implied ominous conclusion, and we have a lot of questions. It follows a couple's drive into the country—there's something a bit off about the girlfriend as she takes a strange liking to knives and has a suspiciously calculated look in her eye. They hear a noise and a glowing light coming from the barn, and she appears to get dragged inside as the boyfriend runs away. Was she trying to trying to lure him in, but failed to do so? Was she planning to kill him via other means and was instead thwarted by whatever entity pulled her into the barn? What's the resulting fate of these two characters? We're not quite sure, so we're just left to our own fears and imaginations, and with a grumbling, driving punk tune from Steen and company.
The band also revealed their last few U.S. dates in support of their debut album. Next May, they will make an appearance at Alabama's Hangout Festival and will play some headlining shows in Atlanta, Carrboro, N.C., Washington D.C. and Philadelphia.
Watch the video for "Dust On Trial" (dir. BISON) below and revisit our March interview with the band here.
Shame Tour Dates:

Manuel Valls denounced in turn the Muslim-leftism – Le Figaro
POLITICAL SCAN – Asked before his trip to Israel, the Prime Minister also held that there was "no reason" for the sulfur Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan obtain French nationality <. / p>
Manuel Valls gets tough. Having already very critical vis-à-vis the extreme left, he often accused of collusion with radical Islam, the Prime Minister has just reached a new milestone: it has taken over the 'controversial expression "Islamo-leftism". Guests of the "Forum Radio J" on the sidelines of his visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories, the prime minister has said include "the right words" of his faithful secretary of State for Relations with Parliament, Jean-Marie Le Guen.
"There are these intellectual capitulation, these ambiguities with the Indigenous of the Republic, discussions between Ms. Clémentine Autain (spokesman of" Together! ", note) and Tariq Ramadan, maintained ambiguities that form the breeding ground for this violence and radicalization, "said he first explained. In his sights: the fact that the party of the Regional Council of Ile-de-France has, in December, called to visit a controversial rally in Saint-Denis, where the sulfur Islamologist was – among others – invited to express themselves.
Similarly, Manuel Valls has firmly responded to the provocation of the Swiss university, who recently requested French citizenship, estimating that there was "no reason" to he gets it. "Me, I think that when we aspire to be French is that we aspire to share values. And these values are, I think, inconsistent with his message, "he stressed. Married to a French thirty years, the theologian might, however, according to law, enjoy the right of naturalization almost automatically.
If the person has so far not reacted to the release of the Prime Minister, the other target of his attacks, Clementine Autain, immediately leapt. "I'll file a complaint against (him) if he does not apologize," said the elected francilienne AFP. "It must stop. (…) These words are lies. I have never personally met Tariq Ramadan, or shared a platform with him. These inane accusations aim at that myself, and through me my political family, would be the breeding ground for terrorism, "said she said.

Seminole Gaming promotes Eder to CFO position
by Beverly Bidney - July 1, 2015
HOLLYWOOD — John Eder has been promoted to chief financial officer at Seminole Gaming, operator of the Tribe's seven Florida casinos. Formerly senior vice president of finance, Eder brings 13 years of Seminole Gaming experience with him to the CFO position.
"We will continue to grow our footprint here in our current locations, grow our revenue and our product," said Eder, who joined Seminole Gaming in 2002. "Our focus today is to improve guest service, to provide a world-class product no matter which casino the guest is in and continue to grow our organization."
Eder's responsibilities include finance, accounting, payroll, risk management, compliance, banking/investor relations, planning and analysis, cage, credit and purchasing for the casinos. He also sits on several strategic steering committees for Seminole Gaming, including executive, benefits, investment, information technology and compensation. Gaming employs about 10,000 people statewide.
"John is the first employee I hired at Seminole Gaming," said Jim Allen, Seminole Gaming CEO and Hard Rock International chairman. "I was aware of his amazing intelligence and work ethic. Seminole Gaming is one of the most respected organizations in the world, and he will do an excellent job to continue to enhance that reputation."
One challenge facing Seminole Gaming is the future of the gaming compact between the Tribe and the state of Florida.
"We are still working with the state and have a good relationship," Eder said. "It's been nothing but fruitful for the state. We've exceeded expectations and paid more than agreed to."
If the Tribe retains exclusivity of table games and slot machines outside Miami Dade and Broward counties, expansion in Hollywood and Tampa could commence with Council approval.
Prior to joining Seminole Gaming, Eder worked with Allen at Kerzner International, which owns the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. Eder served as vice president of finance.
He has also held management positions with Walt Disney World, Vesuvius USA and Coopers & Lybrand. Eder earned an MBA from the University of Florida, a BBA from Eastern Michigan University and is a Certified Public Accountant.
Eder and his wife, Andrea, live in Pompano Beach. Their children, Samuel and Hannah, attend the University of Florida.

The medicinal use of herbs and the essential oils derived from them has been practiced for thousands of years in many cultures. However, it was not until 1928 that Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, a French chemist, coined the term "aromatherapy" after he discovered that lavender was not only able to heal a severe burn he had on his hand, but also prevented subsequent scarring.
Modern Researchers such as Robert Tisserand, Len Price and Andrea Butje continue to teach us about the impact essential oils and the botanical oils used with them, can have on our health. Aromatherapy has a popular appeal as a complimentary alternative for modern medicine. It is, therefore, imperative that as consumers and practitioners we stay informed.
Robert Tisserand began researching the effectiveness of essential oils more than 40 years ago. His passion for the field runs so deep that he continues to be one of the top names in the field. For those interested in learning more about the scientific roots for the benefits as well as the limitations of essential oils, they can find all sorts of information here, not only through on-line classes & blogs, but straightforward info-graphics.
NAHA is a non-profit resource center for the professional Aromatherapist as well as those interested in Aromatherapy as a means to support their own health and wellness. It provides a touchstone for those who are looking to expand their knowledge of the field in the US as well as make connections with international organizations. Those who are interested in a career as an Aromatherapist will find connections with schools as well as a varied list of potential fields that may help focus their skills and interests.
Andrea Butje infected me witih a passion for essential oils during her first Aromatherapy Certification Class in 2001. Her clarity and willingness to share her knowledge as well as her excitement for the art of Essential Oils continues through her website, the Aromahead Institute.


Last summer, I was all about pilsners. Depending on where I was I drank either Trumer Pils, Santa Barbara Brewing Company's Blonde Ale or Figueroa Mountain's New Zealand Pilsner. At home, I drank Pivo Pils. I was pilsner obsessed, and it probably burned me out a little bit because this summer has been all about hops for me.
I stopped by Pure Order Brewing Company on Thursday afternoon to get a taste of the brewery's Viva LAger, a coastal lager released for Santa Barbara's Old Spanish Days, or Fiesta. The beer was a revelation and one of the best lagers in town. It's my new favorite from Pure Order.
Brewer and co-owner James Burge explains the reasoning behind the Viva LAger, which is made using agave nectar during the whirlpool — a distinct departure from Pure Order's Reinheitsgebot roots and the first foray into a series of special releases dubbed the Chaos series.
The beer seems to fall somewhere between a Vienna Lager and a Marzen both in terms of flavor and color. It's about as dark as a Pale Ale (it's darker than POBC's IPA, Santa Barbara Pale Ale) and there's a distinct caramel/toffee sweetness that rides alongside a relatively strong bitterness. All of this is lifted off the palate by a nice, effervescent carbonation.
I haven't seen it there personally, but it's my understanding that the beer is on tap at Union Ale and Killer B's as well as, of course, the brewery's tap room.

Q: How can I change contrast of an image by using javascript and html slider (not using canvas) As the title, I want to create a slider using html and javascript (or jQuery, CSV,...) to change contrast of an image. Like this topic. However, I don't want to use Canvas in HTML5.
Is there any way to do this?

A: You can use CSS filter:

Just get the value of your HTML slider and apply the contrast filter to your image

Funding ending for homeless veterans program Transitional housing shutdown stirs concern for long-term solution
BARSTOW — Veterans may lose the bridge that connects them from living on the streets to permanent housing on Sept. 30 and a Desert Manna official warns San Bernardino County officials that the homeless problem is not solved.
"You are going to continue to have homeless veterans. It's going to continue to be an issue," Desert Manna President and CEO Darrin Fikstad said Wednesday. "The problem is not solved and dropping the funding of this is going to build up the situation."
The funding Fikstad was referring to involves a U.S. Vets program funded by the Veterans Administration that provided transitional housing to military veterans until permanent housing could be secured. Eddie Estrada with U.S. Vets confirmed on Tuesday that Funding for that program ends on Sept. 30, which will shut down the program.
Estrada said there are 19 veterans in transitional housing in Barstow and he said all of them will remain in housing after Sept. 30. But he said the program will be unable to take in any new homeless veterans.
It was just last January that Estrada went before the Barstow City Council to announce that U.S. Vets would be housing 30 veterans from throughout the county in an apartment complex on East Virginia Way in Barstow.
"This program is actually what you would call bridge housing," Estrada said. "They are either just off the streets, they were evicted or they just got out of the military and they are waiting for their apartment to be ready. So they come to our facility."
Desert Manna was one of the organizations in the county that secured transitional housing assistance for homeless veterans that came through its doors.
Ashley Schapitl, a spokeswoman for Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office, also confirmed the funding for the U.S. Vets program was expiring this month.
"It's the end of the fiscal year. The Senate is working to pass what's referred to as a 'continuing resolution' next week to fund the government," she said.
Spokesman Michael Fresquez said U.S. Rep. Paul Cook, R-Apple Valley, was also aware of the funding issue.
"Our office is working with the VA, and the Housing Authority of San Bernardino County to explore our options and ensure that none of the veterans impacted will be displaced," Fresquez said. "Even though this particular program appears to be ending, the county still receives significant federal funding from HUD to help house veterans and that funding continues to increase."
On Friday, Third District Supervisor James Ramos said his office has been reaching out to federal and county officials ever since the Desert Dispatch informed him of the situation last week.
"This definitely is a big concern for San Bernardino County," Ramos said. "After it was brought to our attention, we reached out to San Bernardino County Veterans Affairs. We ended up calling Washington, D.C. to get more information. We are working on a solution with the county Housing Authority and our county Veterans Affairs to come up with a way for that housing funding to stay in place."
The county has specifically set out to end veteran homelessness by the end of this year, building upon an aggressive housing strategy that surpassed its goal last year when officials found housing for more than 500 veterans.
Just over 8 percent of the unsheltered homeless in the 2016 Point-in-Time Homeless Count conducted in late January were identified as veterans.
"Although this program is coming to an end in Barstow, there is no doubt that we will find housing for all of these veterans," First District Supervisor Robert Lovingood said. "The Housing Authority of San Bernardino County, in partnership with U.S. Vets and other partners, have been making arrangements that ensure all of these vets have permanent housing. Last year, San Bernardino County reached our goal of ending veteran homelessness in this county. And I am committed to maintaining our record of success."
While he applauds the county's efforts to end homeless among the veterans, Fikstad said it's "not mission accomplished." He said Desert Manna continues to see two to four homeless veterans a month seeking shelter and assistance.
"It's the old political two-step or the Washington shuffle," he said. "There is a false belief that because 500 homeless veterans have been housed that there are no more homeless."
He points out that half of the veterans who get off the streets with federal or county assistance eventually are back on the streets. He blames the high recidivism rate to mental health issues and substance abuse issues.
"Again, we are just throwing a band-aid on the issue. We are covering up the wound. We stitched it up and say, you are OK. Well, you are not OK because there has to be follow-up."
Lovingood, however, argues the county is making significant progress to end veteran homelessness.
"We understand that new veterans may fall into homelessness as we house other veterans," he said. "The goal and focus of the county is to have effective systems, services and housing resources in place to quickly identify the homeless veteran, bridge them into emergency housing and quickly transition them into permanent housing with supportive services to ensure ongoing housing stabilization.
"In this area the county has been extremely successful and continues to work within its own departments and with other dedicated agencies to enhance service provision and increase housing resources to ensure we can meet the housing needs of homeless veterans quickly and effectively."
Lovingood also said housing has to come first before outreach to combat mental illness issues and substance abuse can be effective.
"The county's public and nonprofit veterans housing providers follow a Housing First principle, which is 'low barrier' and has no requirements of sobriety to either enter or remain in housing. This is a national best practice model in addressing homelessness; housing first, wrap around services focusing on stabilization and health care resources to meet the needs of the individual regardless of their mental health or substance abuse concerns at entry. With housing coming first, all of those other outcomes become more successful. "

The effort to start congestion pricing in Seattle just got a major financial boost, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan recently announced.
Durkan has previously said that she would like to establish a congestion pricing program in the downtown core by the end of her first term, which is 2021. She could not say exactly when the city will implement a program when she spoke Friday. Right now, the city is using grant money to study how it would apply the street charge.
Durkan's comments came with the announcement that Seattle was awarded a $2.5 million grant from Bloomberg American Cities Climate Challenge. The grant will help the city explore and implement ways to meet climate change goals. Among the plans Seattle has for the money is an effort to study how to implement congestion pricing in the city.
The pricing would establish tolls to drive on select Seattle streets, perhaps with differing charges depending on the time. The aim is to discourage people from driving cars around town as the population grow. A handful of cities use the pricing tactic, such as London, Singapore, and Milan.
It's not the first time a Seattle official has promoted congestion pricing. Seattle Councilmember Mike O'Brien mentioned the idea in 2017. Seattle's new tunnel — that will replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct — will require tolls. O'Brien noted that this may cause people to avoid the tunnel and use surface streets. He said that implementing tolls on surface streets could deter people from doing that.
Durkan also said that the Bloomberg grant will be targeted at building efficiency. It will also help Seattle accelerate a move toward electric vehicles and getting more people to use transit instead of cars. She said that future generations demand "bold actions" such as these.

I Didn't Say I Was Broke – Ghanaian Actor John Dumelo
EntertainmentAugust 30, 2019
Actor turned Politician, John Dumelo who is contesting on the ticket of the NDC for the Ayawaso West Wuogon Parliamentary seat has declared that he never said he was broke after he was reported to have made the declaration in an earlier interview.
The young political aspirant, either has dementia or is clearly doing what all politicians do, tell lies. The actor declared that he never said anything of that sort after he was reportedly heard calling for financial support to finance his political campaign stating that the NDC primaries has drained him.
He was reported to have said;
"I'm broke rough, the campaign has drained my money rough. All the cash I had has been spent on the campaign I have absolutely nothing left on me for the next round of campaigning. I'll have to look for money elsewhere for that exercise. As I speak with you I'm laying flat on the ground, I need help to get back onto my feet. There will have to be voluntary contributions from my loved ones to see me through the next level of campaigning for the 2020 parliamentary election,"
Denying he ever said that he tweeted;
"They said I said I'm broke. They will say I said they said i said I'm broke….ok. If that makes them happy."

Mos Espa, the fictional town from the The Phantom Menace, may soon be lost to the sands of time. The movie set, built for the 1999 Star Wars prequel, is a popular tourist attraction for the Tunisian city of Tozeur, but it is now under threat from massive, advancing sand dunes.
The set, which has become a place of pilgrimage for truly devoted fans of the film franchise, is directly in the path of a large dune type known as a barchan. According to Johns Hopkins scientist Ralph Lorenz, who co-authored the Geomorphology paper, Dunes on Planet Tatooine: Observation of Barchan Migration at the Star Wars Film Set in Tunisia, Mos Espa could be completely buried within six years.
Tunisian authorities are reportedly considering bulldozing the dune to preserve the tourist attraction, but Lorenz believes they are only delaying the inevitable, since there is an even larger barchan waiting behind the current one.
If there is a silver lining to this situation (and perhaps the creation of The Phantom Menace as a whole), it's that Mos Espa's destruction may aid in the study of dune migration on Earth. "One of the challenges in measuring dune migration on Mars or Earth is that dunes often appear in vast sand seas where not only can it be difficult to tell one dune from another," says Lorenz. "But there may be no fixed reference point against which to measure the dune's position." Mos Espa, he says, may serve as a helpful "fiducial marker" as the barchan rolls over it.

Watford pushed Chelsea hard and squandered several good chances but Conte praised his players' heart in coming from 2-1 down and said he had been a bit lucky with his substitutions. David Luiz and Tiemoue Bakayoko start for Chelsea against Watford despite picking up knocks during Wednesday's 3-3 draw with Roma in the Champions League.
Prior to tipoff Wednesday, the Celtics aired a message from Hayward so he could address the fans in attendance for the home opener. The Cavaliers beat the Celtics 102-99 on Tuesday. Hayward was trying to score off a lob pass from Kyrie Irving when he collided with Cavaliers star LeBron James and landed awkwardly, with his ankle turning the wrong way in a gruesome injury that shook players on both clubs.
The ODI series against Bangladesh was de Villiers' first since Champions Trophy 2017 back in June, and batting for the first time in the series, de Villiers played a 176-run knock that handed South Africa a 104-run victory in the match and the superlative batsman regained the top spot.
The Hornets climbed to fourth place - one spot ahead of defending champions Chelsea - in the Premier League after coming from behind to beat the Gunners 2-1 with a stoppage-time goal from Tom Cleverley last weekend. Every opponent can be unsafe. However, the Brazilian had to be replaced by Pedro in the 57 minute due to a calf problem while Conte revealed that Bakayoko also picked up a groin issue during the game and only played the full 90 minutes due the lack of options at his disposal.
Lonzo Ball shot 1-6 from the field with 9 rebounds, 4 assists and committed two turnovers, to finish with only 3 points. Patrick Beverley epitomizes Lonzo Ball's National Basketball Association challenge. He played all past year and nobody said nothing about him. Beverley, as he likes to do, picked up the rookie well past half-court many times. "[And] he is up against a tough dude, that is what I am telling him.
Maybe Jacksonville Jaguars President Mark Lamping should spend more time learning about and fighting against police brutality, poverty and a lack of adequate health care in communities of color in Florida than apologizing to the City of Jacksonville's director of military affairs and local military representatives for Jaguars players' kneeling during the national anthem before their game in London on September 24 versus the Baltimore Ravens.

Teen accused of juvenile crimes over carton of milk
A young man is facing serious trouble after a school resource officer claims that he stole a carton of milk from the school's cafeteria. The case has received widespread attention, and ties in with the current national dialogue about police involvement with people of color. The story has many parents in Virginia and elsewhere concerned about the role of police in the school setting, and about whether their own child could face accusations of juvenile crimes for seemingly minor offenses.
The matter centers on a 15-year-old African-American boy who took a second spin through the lunch line and grabbed a carton of milk. The boy is eligible for free lunch through the school's nutrition program, and says that he forgot to pick up his milk (which comes with the lunch at no extra charge) when he picked up his tray of food. After he went back to the serving area of the cafeteria and picked up the milk, he returned to his table and sat down.
The school's resource officer came over and allegedly grabbed the child by the back of his neck. He asked the student why he took the milk, at which point the student threw the milk and pushed back from the officer's grasp. At that point, the officer told the student that they were going to go talk to the principal to discuss the matter, and the student allegedly refused and pushed past the resource officer in an attempt to leave the area.
The 15-year-old Virginia student has been charged with juvenile crimes, including creating a public disturbance and larceny. If he is unable to avoid conviction, he could end up with a criminal record. His family and their legal team feels that the case has more to do with how a young black man is perceived by the police than a 65 cent carton of milk.

Shut down the RNC!!! Communists conspire to create chaos in Cleveland
Posted on July 18, 2016 by TMH
By: Trevor Loudon | New Zeal
Hardcore revolutionaries are working overtime to disrupt, even shut down, the Republican National Convention opening Monday in Cleveland.
Unless Cleveland's police are well prepared and resolute, the city's streets could well see bloodletting and violence on a scale not seen since Chicago 1968. Given the recent spate of communist-driven and White House encouraged anti-police violence and the almost visceral hatred many on the left feel towards prospective Republican nominee Donald Trump, almost anything could happen. If City leaders don't firmly stand behind their "thin blue line," the radicals will try to turn Cleveland into a cauldron of hatred.
Tom Burke
Grand Rapids, Michigan based activist Tom Burke, one of the lead organizers of the Coalition to Stop Trump and March on the RNC, says the protest has two aims. "One is it helps to build movements in this country by tying local groups to national issues. Secondly, it has an impact on the elections because the media starts to cover what the protesters are saying. We have a very different agenda than the Republican Party — and this year, in particular."
Mick Kelly
Mick Kelly, a co-leader of Coalition to Stop Trump and March on the RNC stated, "We plan on marching right up to the site of the RNC. We insist that our right to protest is respected. The people of this county are rejecting Trump and his racist, anti-immigrant, and anti-Muslim attacks."
Both men are long time leaders of the neo-Maoist Freedom Road Socialist Organization/FightBack! One of the most militant groups in the country, Freedom Road has actively supported Marxist insurgencies in the Middle East and Latin America for decades and enjoys a close relationship with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a leading American Muslim Brotherhood front group.
Hassan Shibly CAIR left, Mick Kelly right, Tampa 2015
Both Burke and Kelly were among 23 mainly Chicago and Minneapolis based activists whose houses were raided in 2011, during an FBI crackdown on the Freedom Road Socialist Organization/FightBack! faction.
According to Tom Burke:
"Thousands of people are coming to the RNC to protest Trump. Buses are being chartered to come to this protest from as far away as Minnesota, and we plan on being within sight and sound of the RNC on July 18."
About 40 immigrant rights, student, anti-war, labor and low-income organizations have announced their support for the protest. Almost all are front groups for Freedom Road or their allies, the pro-North Korea and Iran Workers World Party.
While Freedom Road and Workers World are leading the charge, almost every communist group in the country is likely to be involved. Cleveland is in easy driving distance of the communist strongholds of Detroit, Minneapolis and Chicago, and not too far from New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Freedom Road and Workers World are mobilizing their cadre from all over the Midwest; down to Durham, North Carolina; Tampa Bay and Tallahassee in Florida; and across to Salt Lake City, Utah.
The endorser list is growing and includes communist fronts such as Chicago based National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression; the Milwaukee Anti-War Committee; People's Opposition to War, Imperialism and Racism; Students for a Democratic Society; the United Workers Organization of Wisconsin; the Detroit Active and Retired Employees Association; the United National Antiwar Coalition; and Muslims for Social Justice.
Many of the same organizers helped lead the mass marches that drew thousands at the 2008 RNC in Saint Paul, Minnesota and the 2012 RNC in Tampa, Florida. The protests in Cleveland are expected to be both much larger and more violent.
The demonstration will put forward the slogans:
"Dump Trump, Say No to the Republican Agenda. Stand Against Racist, Anti-Immigrant, and Anti-Muslim Attacks. We demand Peace, Justice and Equality."
Tom Burke states:
"We have now applied for permits to march on the RNC and we insist that the permits are granted in a timely manner. We have a right to protest Trump and his racist, reactionary agenda, and that is exactly what we will do on the opening day of the Republican National Convention."
Mick Kelly added:
"While the coalition wants permits to ensure the broadest participation in the protest, we will march permits or not."
"We will have speakers representing a wide range of struggles — Black Lives Matter, Palestine and the Right to Return, Indigenous demands to scrap the racist mascot of the Cleveland baseball team, doctors marching a few days later against Islamophobia, justice for migrants, LGBTQ rights, Detroiters fighting foreclosure, and many more," said Cleveland-based march organizer Susan Schnur. "We encourage people to bring signs and banners representing their own struggle against bigotry, economic injustice, and the capitalist system responsible for both."
Susan Schnur
As Lydia Bayoneta, long time Rochester, NY activist and Workers World Party organizer explained:
"The racist onslaught of police terror in the United States is part of a worldwide mobilization of racist, Islamophobic, anti-immigrant and reactionary forces. In Cleveland, the eyes of the world will be focused not only on the reactionary forces, but also on the growing resistance within the U.S to racist police terror and all forms of oppression."
At the 3,000 strong People's Summit in Chicago last month, I interviewed more than a dozen communists from several parties. Most were looking to Cleveland. Several talked of the US being closer to revolution than any time since 1968. You could see the light of revolutionary fervor in their eyes. They saw Cleveland as a revolutionary opportunity of a lifetime.
God forbid that a Democrat-led city allows these people to live out their bloody fantasies.

ALBERT Rivera has admitted that nobody from the PP or Socialist PSOE have contacted him regarding a possible political pact.
The Ciudadanos leader, whose party won 40 seats in December's general election, compared the current impasse to a 'cold war'.
Spain is still without a government following the election when the PP won 123 seats and the PSOE gained 90.
Rivera is due to meet with King Felipe for talks later today.
That Albert, is because they all know that you are just the PP in fresh clothes, hurriedly invented as a desperate alternative to the Podemos phenomenon.

TOKYO -- Most of the quarter-million people who fled massive flooding in southwest Japan were able to return home by Monday, but the danger had not fully passed from record rains that have killed at least 28 people.
Thousands of homes and hundreds of roads were damaged, and hundreds of landslides were reported. The military airlifted food by helicopter to stranded districts.
The rain "was like a waterfall," Yoko Yoshika said in Yamaguchi prefecture (state). "It was horrible."
Yoshika, wife of an award-winning Hagi-yaki style potter, said workers used a bucket relay with plastic pails to get rid of the water flowing into their shop.
In Yame, a city of 69,000 in Fukuoka prefecture, dozens of people were stranded by the flooding.
"Our region gets hit with heavy rain every year, but I have never experienced anything like this," city employee Kumi Takesue said.
"Rice paddies and roads all became water so you couldn't tell what was what," she said, adding that she had to wade in knee-high water, even near her home, which was not as hard hit as other areas.
Kyodo News service said 28 people have died and police were searching for four missing people in the three prefectures of Kumamoto, Oita and Fukuoka, from the heavy rainfall that began Thursday. Nationwide tallies of the dead and missing were not immediately available.
Weather officials warned people to be careful even in areas where rain had subsided because the land was still mushy and prone to landslides. More rain was possible later Monday.
Even as some of the water subsided, homes and farms on the southern island of Kyushu, hardest hit by the flooding, were still getting food shipments, although mostly by land, local officials said.
The intense rain occurred as far north as the ancient capital of Kyoto, where rainfall exceeded 3.5 inches per hour -- a condition in which rain cascades in such torrents that seeing ahead becomes impossible.
Evacuation orders were gradually being lifted, allowing most residents to return home by late Sunday.
Fukuoka prefecture said that as of Monday, damage there extended to more than 4,300 homes, 800 roads and 20 bridges. At least 518 landslides were recorded, and more than 2,700 people had evacuated their homes, it said in a statement.


Computer simulations are a good way to study molecular interactions. There have been striking advances in the application of computer simulation to innovative complex systems that have shed light on phenomena across the breadth of modern chemistry, biology, physics and drug design. ProtoMS (short for Prototype Molecular Simulation) is one such major piece of Monte Carlo biomolecular simulation software. The Software Sustainability Institute is working with ProtoMS developers to review and evaluate the software and its code, assess the usability, ease of installation and the long-term sustainability of ProtoMS by collating areas for improvement.
Simulating biomolecules is a particularly challenging problem and requires the use of specific computational techniques to perform experiments or study processes that cannot be investigated by any other methodology. The Essex Research Group of the School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton research innovative applications of simulations to biological systems and focus on the development of new methods and software for biomolecular simulation.
ProtoMS is used to develop new methods to enhance the accuracy and precision of biomolecular simulations, to apply these ideas in the calculation of relative protein/ligand binding free energies and to add new functionalities to computational chemistry programs. The software package consists of Python interface on top of Fortran subroutines. Both GNU and Intel C/C++ and Fortran compilers are supported. Richard Bradshaw and his colleagues from Essex Research Group have been using and improving ProtoMS to develop new science with the aim to replace the time consuming and expensive wet-lab screening of putative drugs with fast and inexpensive computational tools.
To speed up this process as much as possible, the ProtoMS developers have recently introduced automated setup and analysis tools, written tutorials and run workshops so that even novice users can create and run their own computational experiments. However, significant challenges to widening usage of the software remained - for example, how could new users, working with their own hardware and OS environment, be reassured that ProtoMS was reliably installed and giving correct results?
Due to its relevance and use in drug design, pharmaceutical industry partners have expressed interest in exploring and examining the capabilities of ProtoMS simulation methods. With their intention of becoming a more complete software package, making its future development self-sustaining and reaching out to wider community of industry partners and researchers, the Essex Research Group successfully applied to our Open Call.
We will be assisting them in developing an automated test suite to reassure users of performance, and ensure that any newly added features and alterations to the software do not affect other areas of functionality. We also aim to include some profiling of the routines covered by the developed test suite, as details of the test suite coverage will help future developers in identifying gaps/routines that aren't tested yet, and uses to fill those gaps. This work will also involve checking the preciseness of the test suite results with Intel compilers too.
For more details, please see our who do we work with page, or the publications involving ProtoMS.

Barker Institute Journal
College of Teachers
Our News & Resources
Professional Learning underpins all that we do with staff and the broader community. It is a key component of the Barker Institute's Mission...
Key to the ongoing development of staff is access to authentic, professional learning experiences that foster the interest, capacity and understanding of one's own practice. It is most successful when it is situated in the learning environment and developed through the ongoing sharing of ideas within the learning community. The Barker Institute continues to grow, creatively developing the opportunities for professional learning locally, nationally or globally, for staff, students, parents and members of the community. The Barker Institute looks to inspire all to become lifelong learners.
The Barker Institute now offers a range of professional learning opportunities including our free Community Forums for anyone to attend, our Focus on Learning Series for Parents, our Twilight Series that features alumni, parents and past students and our newly developed series of Parents' Forums across the various Junior, Middle and Senior Schools. Whether it is Warwick Holmes sharing his story of the Rosetta Mission, Christine Nixon inspiring the next generation of Women Leaders or Dr Anita Collins sharing her insight about the importance of music and neuroscience in our youngest learners, this ongoing exposure to new ideas and thinking is a key aspect of the Barker Insitute's core focus.
In 2018, the Barker Institute provided professional learning to support the implementation of cross curricular initiatives, new approaches to assessment, our WATS (Writing Across The School) project, combined with our focus on emerging technology in learning.
To complement the various ongoing professional learning experiences, the College of Teachers has been formed to inspire staff to reflect, observe and gather new ideas and practices from their colleagues. The College of Teachers includes experienced teachers who will mentor staff and engage in reflective practice across different age levels and curriculum areas. This is an exciting initiative and one that will assist staff to continually refine and review their own approach to teaching.
As a registered provider Barker College provides ongoing delivery of updates relating to the Australian Curriculum, the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), NESA and teacher accreditation. It is hoped that the Barker Institute can continue to develop collaborative ventures with institutions and with aspiring teachers as they prepare to enter the teaching profession.
A key area of our professional learning continues to be developing the capacity of all staff as we work together to realise co-education across the whole school at both the Hornsby and Darkinjung campuses.

Five Georgia Nursing Students Die in Tractor Trailer Accident
Tractor Trailer Accident Leads to Deaths of Five Nursing Students
In the early morning hours of Wednesday, April 22nd, traffic in Georgia was start-and-stop as usual during the morning rush. Unfortunately, a tractor trailer failed to slow down during a stop in the highway traffic and caused a serious, multi-car pile-up that killed five nursing students.
The deadly tractor trailer accident occurred on Interstate 16 near Savannah, Georgia. Two passenger vehicles were mangled in the crash, and the tractor trailer eventually came to a stop after ramming into a tanker.
The tractor trailer failed to stop when an SUV came to a stop in traffic, then rolled over a small passenger car, which burst into flames, before finally hitting a tanker truck and coming to a complete stop.
All five of the women who died in the accident were students at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, about 30 miles from the crash site. The students were reportedly commuting to St. Joseph's / Candler Health System for their final day of clinical training. There were eight students total on the commute – four died at the scene, one died at the hospital, and the other three are injured.
Georgia state patrol reported that 7 vehicles in total were damaged, and three other people suffered serious injuries due to the tractor trailer crash.
There was no fog or smoke on the road that morning that would have caused the tractor trailer driver to hit the SUV, but so far, the truck's driver has not been cited or criminally charged, as the accident is still under investigation. Officials report that charges are pending.
"Today should have been a day of celebration for this bright group of students," at St. Joseph's/Candler hospital said in a Facebook posting. "It was their last day of clinical rotations … in their first year of nursing school."
Tractor Trailer Accidents in South Carolina Can Be Deadly
Charleston, South Carolina is a major port town, which means that tractor trailers and 18-wheeled vehicles frequently travel the state's roads. The average passenger vehicle weighs around 3,000 lbs, while the average tractor trailer with cargo can weigh 80,000 lbs.
While there are federal safety regulations for tractor trailers, 18-wheelers, and their managing companies, these drivers are often pushed hard for days of driving. They are stressed out and tired. On average, there are 500,000 tractor trailer accidents nationwide, and too often, they are catastrophic.
Any car accident can lead to serious personal injury, but the weight and speed of a tractor trailer in an accident often leads to severe burns, head and neck injuries, broken bones, internal bleeding, an even death for the victims. The amount of compensation that a person injured or killed in a semi truck accident, car-truck accident, or trailer disconnect accident receives depends upon several facts, including the financial losses, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life.

Is this the only purpose of food?
When I first started my journey to living a healthier and happier life three years ago, this was a phrase that I was constantly surrounded by. I first created my current Instagram page as a way to find inspiration and hold myself accountable for one thing: losing weight. The Instagrammers that I decided to follow at that time were all in with weight loss, whether it be naturally or assisted by weight loss surgery. On the daily, I saw their stories and posts about the grilled chicken and veggies they were having for every meal. Then there were the photos of hotel breakfasts, which were usually just a few pieces of fruit and a cup of yogurt on a white Styrofoam plate. There were boomerangs of these influencers taking their pre-workout, photos of meat wraps, meal prepping videos. The list goes on and on. And I kept reading the same proud phrase over and over.
With recently having switched over my focus from purely weight loss to all-around health and wellness, I started to question this phrase and the real purpose of food. Of course food is fuel, we all know that. A calorie itself is a unit of energy. The number of calories in a piece of food describes how much energy our body can get from eating it. Calories are the fuel that keeps our bodies is good working condition. When we consume more energy than our body needs, we store it and gain weight. It's science. Of course food is fuel. But it's so much more.
Tongues and their tastebuds exist for a reason, and that reason is highly biological. Speaking from this biological perspective, taste allows our body to prepare for digestion. Taste activates our salivary glands and prepares our body to receive and process the food. Taste also allows us to detect poison and other survival-of-the-fittest things. But through evolution, these initial purposes for taste have gotten less and less important for survival. Although we still use a combination taste and smell to tell if foods have gone bad, it's not a huge concern in our daily lives. Taste is one of our strongest senses, and it is mainly used for enjoyment now. This is because our lives as humans have gotten much easier. But there is a lot of "taboo" within that.
These donuts at Brewnuts were amazing, but should I feel guilty for enjoying them?
I've found that thinking of food as only something that makes my body function to be detrimental for my mental health. Thinking of food as an energy source and nothing else rejects that food can actually be enjoyed. It places shame on the fact that eating can be pleasurable. And as weird as the word "pleasurable" sounds when describing food (mostly because of its sexual undertones, merp), it's true!
The immense amount of shame placed on enjoying food is something that really harms the relationships that many people have with it. Societal pressures are all around us to not eat fast foods, sweets, carbohydrates, and fats. People are doing Atkins, then Paleo, then Keto, then juicing, then the potato diet. It seems like everyday there's a new diet fad that demonizes one or more categories of food and steers us all in a different, confusing direction. Demonizing food is what causes people to have painful food relationships.
To deny the fact the food is emotional and that enjoying food is natural is what causes the misery and guilt attached to it.
The negative stigma surrounding enjoying food is what also causes society's negative perception of fat people.
Fat people are that way because they did it to themselves. Fat people are irresponsible and eat only for pleasure. They're lazy and just lay around grazing and watching Netflix all day. They don't take care of themselves. The only things they eat are cupcakes, fried chicken, mac and cheese, and donuts.
Before anyone takes this out of context, this is obviously not the truth.
I could go on and on for hidden reasons as to why people struggle with their weight and also why body positivity is so important, but that's not my purpose in writing this. What I will say is that one of the many reasons why people say these things about fat people is to make themselves feel better. While living the grind-or-die lifestyle and depriving themselves from the joy of food, these people feel morally above people who decide to live a bit differently. I can respect the different lifestyles and diets of all people, but I cannot respect people looking down on others just because they don't eat processed sugar or fast food or something.
Having a negative view towards food can condone these extremely hurtful things to be said about fat people. They can also cause people to really struggle with how they feel towards food. What is morally right and wrong when it comes to how we consume food? Nothing. Everyone has their own life and own viewpoints on nutrition. And nutrition itself is ever-changing. We should be entitled to our own thoughts on food without judgement!
Of course food is fuel. Obviously. But these are three things that food also is.
Food is cultural. I, a caucasian American girl, even have a little bit of culture attached to the food I eat. In Wisconsin (where I grew up), hearty Germanic foods are the tradition and bring people together. Grilling brats on Sunday summer nights and pairing them with cold glasses of beer. Going to the Wisconsin State Fair and sitting down at a picnic table with a cream puff on one plate and cheese curds on the other. My grandma bringing Kringle over on the weekends. Having fish fry on a Friday night and going out for frozen custard afterwards. All of this, all of these memories associated with food, are at the core of who I am.
My best friend has memories attached to his mom's paneer makhani, which was his favorite as a kid. I know people who get sentimental around matzah ball soup, tamales, and homemade gnocchi. Even a pint of Ben and Jerry's can remind people of nights spent in watching TV. One simple pint can bring back the nostalgia of late college nights or a bittersweet break-up.
My favorite latte from a coffee shop called Soma in Bloomington, Indiana- where I went to college. The Lewinsky, yum!
Food is not just fuel.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Lunar New Year, Día de los Muertos. Weddings, birthdays, baby showers, barbecues, and potluck dinners. People are brought together through food. This is one purpose of food. Food is joy and food is love.
It's okay to enjoy food.
To repair a relationship with food is hard. But giving yourself permission to enjoy the food you eat is so freeing. To allow yourself to experience the memories and sentiments that come with food is the most liberating thing. Eat mindfully and enjoy each bite, and try not to beat yourself up if you eat a little too much birthday cake. Food is more than just gasoline for humans. Food is beautiful, delicious, and powers our bodies.
The purpose of food is complicated. It's more than fuel.


Here's how to include the raw potato juice and its benefits to your beauty ritual.
The potato is one of the cheapest food in the kitchen that can be used in lots of recipes. But have you ever thought that ordinary potato could help you become more beautiful? Here are its benefits for skin and hair and why you should include it in your beauty routine.
Because it is alkaline, a cleanser, rich in vitamins and minerals and because of its antioxidant content, potato juice is ideal for the skin. Specifically, raw potato juice can prevent premature skin aging, moisturizes dry skin, cleanses skin's impurities by acting as a natural cleanser, tones the skin and helps you fight the unsightly bags under the eyes.
All you have to do to in order to enjoy these benefits is to squeeze one or more potatoes and gently dab your skin with a cotton pad soaked in fresh juice. You can use this juice in various combinations. For example, for an excellent toner, you can mix potato juice with some lemon juice in order to enjoy the delicate lemon scent.
You must know that you can use raw potato juice for hair. As we said above, it contains many vitamins and minerals – A, B, C, calcium, potassium and iron – being an excellent ally for hair revitalizing natural treatments. It gives texture and shine to damaged hair and helps even on hair loss problem.

As you might know, restdb.io has support for MongoDB compatible querying using a simple REST based interface. Developers love that complex database specific details are hidden and simplified in one coherent developer experience.
However, in many cases, there are good reasons for developers and data owners to have more control of and access to their own database instance.
This blog post shows how you can connect restdb.io to an Azure Cosmos DB instance.
Azure Cosmos DB is Microsofts globally distributed, multi-model database. With the click of a button, Azure Cosmos DB enables you to elastically and independently scale throughput and storage across any number of Azure's geographic regions.
If you have an Azure account already, just navigate to the Cosmos DB section and start creating your new Cosmos DB instance.
Make sure that you select MongoDB in the API select dropdown. Then select the region that suits your needs, e.g. choose North Europe. Click the "Create" button and a new Cosmos DB instance will be provisioned for your account. The database instance is now ready for external connections and data traffic.
Copy the connection string from Cosmos DB into your RestDB account.
Navigate to the "Manage" tab in the settings of your restdb database and paste the connection string from your Cosmos DB into the "External MongoDB connection" text area.
To make sure that we have a valid connection to our Cosmos DB we've used the random data generator to create some random data in the contacts collection.
If we navigate to the Azure Cosmos DB Data explorer view we will see the same data stored in our Cosmos DB instance. You can now use the restdb.io UI to manage these data and the REST API for programmatic access.
Azure lets you protect your database API in various ways. Add a secure firewall or even a virtual private network, it's all there.
Azure Cosmos DB is an enterprise grade database engine which delivers unprecedented scale and flexibility. Together with restdb.io's secure REST APIs and the user friendly data admin client, you have a powerful combination for rapid and effortless serverless development.
