HomeNewsResidents at Jackey Bakers demand perimeter is made secure as they endure another Traveller incursion
Residents at Jackey Bakers demand perimeter is made secure as they endure another Traveller incursion
July 6, 2018 Kathy Bailes News 4
Residents say yet another group of Travellers moving on to Jackey Bakers is the last straw
Furious residents in homes that adjoin Jackey Bakers' field in Ramsgate are demanding Thanet council finds a way to secure the green.
The site has been the target of four incursions in just over two months this year, the latest occurring when around 16 caravans moved on to the site last night (July 5).
It is the last straw for those whose homes back on to the field with residents saying rubbish and human waste is being left in the wooded area and on the playing fields as well as fences being damaged to gain entry.
It is the 27th Thanet incursion this year
Resident Lorna Smith said despite repeated emails to Thanet council she and others are yet to receive any proper communication from the authority.
Last week residents signed a petition asking for a barrier/bund or secure fencing for the entire perimeter of Jackey Bakers to head of Traveller incursions and nuisance bikers who are getting on to the green at night.
She said: "Last year a farmer offered to create a bund at Jackey Bakers but it was refused. We have been promised something would be done for about five years, last year we were promised a fence. Nothing has been done. If you email the council you just get a generic reply. It's disgusting, we keep being told about the law and Travellers' rights but what about our rights?
"The wood is full of human s**t and soiled toilet paper. People are being intimidated, last year our councillor Stuart Piper was chased by someone with an iron bar and there was a girl with pushchair who was chased off by people in a van. The fences being ripped down is criminal damage and there is flytipping. Why can't this be dealt with?
Residents want action
"There is a complete lack of communication about it but we are not going away. If I have to go and camp at the council offices to make them take notice I will.
"We need the entire site made secure and then we can look at having a group that will take care of it but there is no point in that if we can't secure it."
Fellow resident Christina Collins has even resorted to fitting one of the metal gates by the park with a padlock in an attempt to stop flytipping behind the houses.
She said: "We believe there was some kind of trade off with the last group that came here from Dreamland.
"It seems all the resources are placed into the tourist areas but tourists do not pay council tax, we do, and we want some service.
"Every bit of fencing needs replacing, the whole area needs to be secure and we need some sort of police presence, a patrol that would maybe pass at night. We also need the site cleaned up and bins properly emptied."

Residents say they want to fundraise on the field with events to help pay for astro-turf, refurbing the changing rooms and maybe installing cameras but need the perimeter fencing first.
A similar plea for barriers, a ditch or a bund has been made by residents at Dane Valley where the green has also been used by Travellers' groups numerous times this year.
A Thanet council spokesperson said the authority is aware of the latest incursion, saying: "We are aware of the illegal traveller encampment that has arrived at Jackey Bakers. Officers from Thanet District Council are visiting the site today in order to undertake the necessary welfare assessments and following that, as appropriate, the required notices will be issued."

It is believed an application has already been made to the courts by TDC so a notice to quit can be served. It is an offence for somebody subject to a Section 77 notice to quit to fail to leave as soon as reasonably practicable or to re-enter the site within three months of the date on which the notice was given.
The council spokesman added: "We take the concerns of local residents very seriously and the issues around access at Jackey Bakers are something we are working hard to resolve. We are exploring a range of measures to limit nuisance use of the area.
"We have spoken with individual residents and will use our website and social media channels to keep the public in the loop as decisions are made and solutions found."
Neighbouring council seeks civil injunction
Canterbury City Council land has also been targeted with incursions. The authority is now seeking to obtain a civil injunction to try and prevent unauthorised encampments on any of its land, using existing legislation.
A spokesman said: "The frequency with which this is happening means we need to seek other, long-term solutions to the problem. As a result, we have now begun the process of obtaining a civil injunction to try and prevent unauthorised encampments on any of our land, using existing legislation. A small number of councils have already gone down this route so precedent has been set.
"This is not a quick process but we are now collating evidence with a view to making an injunction application. "

Mike local
People of Thanet don't get them to take your waste away as they don't have the proper certification. If they do, you will be just as guilty as they are when they flytip.
Kent Resident
An injunction to prevent any further illegal encampments by travellers should be sought in collaboration with Canterbury Council at the earliest convenience. The present system with the courts is not rigorous enough as they can go from site to site and back again. There is also too much pussy-footing around these individuals to make sure they are OK when it should be the residents who are looked after first, they pay their council taxes unlike the travellers. Intimidation, human waste and fly-tipping seems to be what upsets the locals most along with thefts, criminal damage and conning too. This should have a zero tolerance by the authorities.
Just remove there caravans with a JCB and dump them at a scrap yard. Filthy lowlife skanks.

Alcantara does it all for Avon baseball
Glen Farley The Enterprise @GFarley_ent
Avon's Christian Alcantara is enjoying another solid season with the Panthers. Coach Joe Regonlinski believes the folks involved with the baseball program at the Wentworth Institute of Technology will be in for a pleasant surprise when he shows up on their campus next year.
AVON – Joe Regonlinski says the folks involved with the baseball program at the Wentworth Institute of Technology have no idea what they're getting.
"He's going to Wentworth next year. He's going to walk on," the Avon Middle High School head coach said of Christian Alcantara. "It's going to be a pleasant surprise for them when he shows up Day One. He'll be one of their top players. That's my opinion."
West Bridgewater Middle-Senior High School coach Jack Outerbridge has a good idea of what the Leopards will be getting.
"The kid's a stud," said Outerbridge. "The kid's a player.
"He can pitch. He's got a cannon for an arm and a great bat. He's been on the team, I want to say, since maybe seventh grade. You can see as he progresses, I don't remember him being that big last year. He's like a man now and he's coming into his own. I would take him on my team any day of the week."
Alcantara has indeed been on Avon's varsity team since seventh grade, making the jump up from the Panthers' jayvees during the 2014 season.
The program's junior varsity coach under Ric Dockendorff when Alcantara arrived at the school, Regonlinski has literally watched the senior grow up.
"I've had Christian for six years, since seventh grade," said Regonlinski. "The great part about coaching at Avon is you have the chance to see them develop over six years. Christian was called up to varsity in seventh grade and ended up starting at second base. He's been one of our top pitchers for years, was the league MVP (the Panthers play in the Mayflower Athletic Conference Comprehensive Division) as a sophomore, and he's always our team MVP. He can hit, he can play shortstop for us, third base, he can pitch. He'll do whatever it takes. He's really our leader and has been an amazing kid to coach."
Already a two-time Enterprise All-Scholastic, Alcantara hit .358 his sophomore year while going 6-1 with an earned run average of 2.02 on the mound. He backed that by hitting .471 and driving 27 runs with an earned run average of 1.76 on the mound last year. This year, he's hitting .400-plus and boasts a 4-0 record and a sub-1.00 earned run average on the mound
Still, Alcantara, who intends to pursue a career in mechanical engineering at Wentworth, believes the best is yet to come.
"I still definitely believe there is room for improvement and I'm going to work for it," said Alcantara. "Can always be working harder."
Regonlinski is convinced Alcantara will make good on that vow. According to the coach, hard work is a driving force behind Alcantara's success.
"He's a great kid," said Regonlinski, "a kid who works hard in the classroom and on the field."
A past participant in basketball at Avon, Alcantara stepped away from that game to concentrate on baseball this year.
Baseball is, after all, a passion to him, one, he says, that his experience at Avon has fueled.
"Everyone has fun, but at the same time takes it seriously," he said. "The atmosphere here has been amazing."
So is Alcantara's ability with a Rubik's Cube in his hands.
"He's the Avon record holder in solving Rubik's Cube," said Regonlinski. "He hasn't gone against me yet, but one day we'll get there. But he holds the unofficial record (reportedly one minute) at Avon."
At the moment, though, Alcantara is more concerned with the record of a Panthers team that won its first five games of the season before letting one slip away in dropping a 9-8 decision to West Bridgewater (in a game in which Alcantara hit a two-run homer) on Wednesday.
A year ago, the Panthers went 10-7 during the regular season, then won their first tournament game in years when they routed Maimonides, 9-2, in the first round of the MIAA Division 4 South Sectional.
This year?
"If we all stick together and put 100 percent into it," said Alcantara, "I think we can make it pretty far."

A Decision on the 'Jungle' in Calais
The French encampment is perhaps the EU's most infamous refugee camp.

A French court has ruled that authorities can evacuate and demolish part of the so-called "Jungle," the makeshift encampment outside the port city of Calais that is home to thousands of refugees and migrants from Syria and other restive parts of the world.
Estimates of the number of migrants affected by the order range from 1,000 to more than 3,400. The operation won't touch public places in the camp such as places of worship and schools.
French authorities had originally told migrants to evacuate the 17.5-acre southern half of the camp last week. The evictions were postponed after two humanitarian groups working in Calais, Help Refugees and L'Auberge des Migrants, reported that 3,455 people live in the section of the camp slated to be demolished—over three times the number French officials had estimated. The unofficial census counted more than 300 unaccompanied minors, the youngest of whom is 10. In response, British and French NGOs, along with more than 200 migrants living in Calais, filed an appeal requesting that the court delay demolition until adequate living situations were found for all of the evacuees.
Thursday's decision in France will be watched closely in the rest of Europe, which is seeing the most-severe refugee crisis since the end of World War II. More than a million people have entered Europe since 2015, fleeing civil war in Syria and unrest elsewhere. Predictably, the influx has raised tensions within individual EU countries and among EU members, who have been unable to agree on a formula on how to equitably distribute the newcomers among the bloc's member countries.
"It's obviously a complex situation and there are a lot of problems with the way that responsibility for asylum claims is distributed within the EU right now," Susan Fratzke, a policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, said about Thursday's decision. "[But] there's a need to uphold the rules under which the asylum system is supposed to be functioning. Having large, very visible camps tends to undermine the public's trust in the government's ability to really manage arrival and take care of people."
Perhaps the most infamous refugee camp in the EU, the Calais Jungle has become a source of frustration for the French government and tension with local residents. The camp held 6,000 migrants at its peak this summer; French authorities estimated it now holds around 3,800, though the census released this week puts the number at 5,497. As Simon Cottee noted in The Atlantic last August, the proximity of Calais to the English Channel has made it an unofficial destination for migrants looking to illegally enter the U.K. Most of them arrive in Calais through Greece, crossing through Eastern Europe by bus, by train, or on foot.
Few migrants make it to the U.K., especially now that police presence has increased. Barbed-wire fence surrounds the camp and police have used tear gas to combat the near constant attempts by Calais residents to cross the Channel Tunnel into England, often by attempting to jump aboard trucks on the nearby highway. But the U.K. and France have an agreement under which Britain conducts all border controls on the French side of the border. This makes it difficult for migrants to enter the U.K. illegally.
For migrants in Calais, the U.K. is their best chance to rebuild a normal life. Many of them speak at least a little English, and some have relatives in Britain. Others believe their chances of finding employment are better in the U.K. than in France, and that the environment is generally more welcoming to refugees.
As an unofficial refugee camp, the Calais Jungle has been largely neglected by the French government—though similar camps in other locations in the city have previously been closed by French authorities. Media reports and volunteers have described slum-like conditions: piles of garbage and raw sewage, overcrowded tents, infestations of rats, contaminated food and water, and infections and injuries that go untreated. Many migrants live in homemade shelters of wood and tarp that offer little protection from rain or the near freezing temperatures this winter.
A September 2015 report by researchers from the University of Birmingham and Doctors of the World called conditions in the camp "perilous," adding that "the shortcomings in shelter, food and water safety, personal hygiene, sanitation and security are likely to have detrimental long-term health consequences."
But conditions have improved somewhat in recent months, as a flow of volunteers organized systems of delivering aid. Several NGOs, including Medecins Sans Frontieres, have dug latrines, distributed tents and sleeping bags, and provided other services. Though the camp remains squalid, it has also grown into a makeshift city, with small stores, restaurants, and bars, as well as mosques and churches.
During the preliminary hearing Tuesday, the lawyer for the appeal argued that the camp offered its residents "psychological support, medical care, places of worship, a school, a legal advice centre … Nobody wanted this shanty town, but it is there now and we cannot simply remove it. Shelter alone—a bed—is not enough. These are people who are already very vulnerable; we must now take the time to offer proper, serious alternatives."
Evacuees would either move into shipping containers nearby or be relocated to migrant shelters elsewhere in France. French officials have called these accommodations more humane than the current living situation in Calais. Humanitarian groups believe these plans are insufficient, arguing that the government has underestimated the number of people who will require new housing.

You are Ed's representative at your school. So your "job" is to spread the gospel according to Ed, also known as educating other students about the wonders of the magazine industry. The commitment for being president is about the same as any other on-campus club. And like we said before, every chapter is different—so that could mean hosting multiple events a month or having twice-a-semester events. We'd love it if you at least had a couple each semester! Also, it's your duty to stay in touch with the Ed on Campus staff by filling out a progress report each semester (and of course asking questions anytime!).
What is Ed on Campus?
Ed on Campus is the collegiate off-shoot of Ed2010, a community of young magazine editors and magazine-editor wannabes who want to learn more about the industry so we can fulfill dreams of landing top editing and writing positions in the magazine industry. Ed on Campus is intended to demystify the industry to college students and help them score internships—especially during the summer—at great magazines in New York City and across the country. Basically, we're an enthusiast group for those who want to work in the magazine industry some day. We rely on whippersnapping students to launch the chapters at campuses.
What, exactly, do the different members of the Ed on Campus staff do? How can they help me get things started?
Basically, we all try to help you start and run your chapter as well as you can, and make sure that Ed is being represented correctly in campuses across the country. For a more specific look at our roles, view the points below.
Karen Snyder Duke, Ed on Campus Director, karen@ed2010.com. Reach out to Karen for advice regarding mag tours in NYC and speaker information.
Elizabeth Lily, Resume Critiques Manager, elizabeth@ed2010.com. Reach out to Elizabeth for resume critique inquiries.
Ashley Oerman, Ed on Campus Associate (Admissions), ashleyo@ed2010.com. Reach out to Ashley with questions regarding transitioning officers and on-campus events.
Rachel Swalin, Ed on Campus Associate (Admissions), rachels@ed2010.com. Reach out to Rachel with questions regarding getting started and Ed2010 email addresses.
Diana Vilibert, Ed on Campus Associate (Trust Fund), diana@ed2010.com. Reach out to Diana for Trust Fund inquiries.
We should respond to you within 48 hours. But please, bear with us—we have full-time jobs at magazines. But of course, basically, we're here to help you and answer any questions that you have!
Do I have to get everything I do approved by the Ed on Campus team?
Of course not! This is your organization—and frankly, we don't have time to approve of every little thing you do. Although, we would love to hear about it. We're just here to guide you along. To keep us updated, make sure to fill out your progress reports when Ashley sends them out once a semester. In addition, please provide us with your social media handles (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, you name it), so that we can check up on your chapter!
I want to kick things off. How the heck do I get started?
Now you're talking! To get started, you need to fill out an application and submit it for Rachel's review. Once you're approved, you'll be "official" with Ed2010 national in New York City. Then, it's really like starting any other campus organization. Start rounding up interested people, plan events, and get yourself out there! You'll need to set up your own Ed2010 email (Gmail or any other free e-mail service is fine) that we ask you to use for Ed correspondence. Start by gathering a list of potential Edsters and Ed-lovers at your school. E-mail other students you've previously interned with or know are magazine lovers, friends of friends, people you've met in journalism or communications classes, and see if you can come up with a solid e-mail list of people who want to support the Ed cause. Now comes the fun, event-planning part, which is the core of any Ed on Campus chapter.
How do students become a member of Ed on Campus?
Ed on Campus and Ed2010 don't have to have members. But feel out what you think will work best on your campus. Some presidents find that having students pay $20-30 in dues a semester helps secure attendance at future events and pay for speakers, pizza, whatever. But do what's best for you.
Does my Ed on Campus chapter need to be formally recognized by my school? How do I do that?
It depends on what the procedure at your particular campus. Ed prefers that your chapter of Ed on Campus be officially recognized by some sort of student activities board at your school, but he also realizes that isn't always totally possible. Sometimes it's easier to fly under the radar and not deal with the bureaucracy, but usually, it'll be better for your chapter—and easier to promote it—if people on your campus know you exist. The exact way that you become formally recognized will vary by campus, so check in with your student activities board there. If you need our help with papers from "national," a constitution, or anything else like that, we'll be happy to help.
Do I have to have a faculty sponsor?
If possible, yes. A faculty sponsor will be able to help you brainstorm, give you ideas, be your advocate, etc. as you launch this new organization at your school. More importantly, having faculty support will help your chapter live on after you have graduated. Any professor or official staff member will do, as long as they care about the cause of educating students about the magazine industry. There may be exceptions to this rule, though, especially if you're at a school that has no specific journalism school. There it may be hard to find a faculty member willing, but it never hurts to ask around (especially in other similar departments, like English or communications). Please explain your sponsor situation on the application.
What about funding? Should I charge dues? Can I do this without financial support from my campus?
Funding is different per campus/school, too. Some chapters have been very successful without campus funding, and others have secured it and benefited from it greatly. You have to figure out what makes the most sense and will work for your school. We can't specifically tell you whether students at your school would be willing to pay $20 to join an organization like Ed on Campus. At some schools—like Syracuse University, where we have a very successful chapter—that's no problem because the students are all very magazine/publishing-centric and willing to pay a little to bask in the magazine glow with other enthusiasts. However, some schools have tried to charge dues, and no one shows up for their events. So you have to figure out what works best on your campus. Take the temperature of students—are they willing to pay a little something for the kind of events you're going to put on? Will they be worth it? As far as getting funding from your school, definitely try! That's why it's best to be officially recognized. Clubs that are officially part of the structure at universities tend to be eligible for funding in some way—whether that be through some sort of apportionment of student fees or special grants. Another thing to look into is whether the journalism or communications school at your campus will pitch in some money, especially to fly in New York magazine editors for speaking events. (You'd be surprised. Most schools have budgets for guest speakers but don't use them. Hit them up!) If you do tend to have money flowing around as you're planning events, it may be best to start a chapter bank account (or see if your school's activities services can handle that for you). Also, you should check and see what free services (poster making, publicity, mailing) you might be able to get out of your student center—usually they provide something to recognized campus organizations.
Do we need to have officers?
Again, this is up to you. But a word of advice: Having officers will only make things easier on you. Trying to launch a campus organization—or keeping one afloat—without the help of others is nearly impossible by yourself! You can have whatever officers you like and make the most sense for you chapter, as long as they fit in with whatever hierarchy your school/activities board may have already set up.
Should we have elections at the end of the Spring semester or the end of the Fall semester?
It depends what works for you. Some chapters find that it's best to hold them at the end of the Fall semester, since many presidents are seniors and are getting prepared to graduate, find a job, etc. If you hold elections in November or December, this gives the new president time to learn the ropes from the former president, which allows for a smoother transition. That being said, if you find that you'd rather hold elections in the Spring, that is totally fine. It's really what works best for your chapter!
How do I get the word out when launching my school's Ed on Campus chapter?
Spreading the word about Ed on Campus is important to building a membership that's interested in the magazine industry. A great way to start is by word of mouth. Find some people you know who are interested in breaking into magazines after graduation and take their temperature: Would they come to magazine-related events, speakers, etc.? Then, like everything else these days, start a Facebook group! That's a great way to get people quickly involved and make them available for easy contact. Plus, when you are approved as a chapter by the Ed on Campus team, your chapter will be listed on Ed2010.com, which will link back to your Facebook page!
How else can I build my organization on campus?
Here are some other ideas: Set up a booth at your campus' beginning-of-school-year activities fair; visit journalism, communication, and English classes and pass around a sign-up sheet for interested parties; hold a kick-off event where anyone who's interested can come learn about Ed on Campus and, in turn, the magazine industry. Please contact Ashley if you would like any assistance with your on-campus event ideas.
How do you communicate with your chapter "members"?
After you've gathered names of interested students, start an email listserv where you can easily contact them and let them know about the events and activities you plan. Send them email blasts or notes about upcoming events and polls to find out what kind of event they'd be most interested in. Also, use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram—whatever you like. Additionally, you could start a website and blog for you chapter, if you wanted. Syracuse University, for example, has a great website promoting all they do. Just let Karen know before you start your own site or blog. Please update Rachel when your social media handles, websites, and blogs are created so that she can update your chapter information.
How many events a year should I have? What do I need to tell you guys?
Some campuses find that monthly events work for them—others prefer to hold something every two or three months. It just depends on how often Edsters at your school would prefer to show up (and how much time you have to devote to planning events). Of course, as you're planning them, let us know if you have questions/thoughts/concerns—we're here to help you make your events the best possible!
What kind of events should I hold? What are some examples of good Ed on Campus events?
So glad you asked, because events are the bread-and-butter of Ed on Campus and Ed in general. Events will vary by chapter because each is different. But the following are the basic events that you should consider holding. Of course, come up with original ideas that work for your school, too!
Lectures/Speakers: Have a local magazine editor talk about his or her job and how they got it; the magazine they edit and their recent redesign; how they hire interns; what their policy is for taking on freelance writers; how to best pitch; etc. Or set up a panel of local magazine editors/writers. Also, tap into your alumni pool—and ask any editors you know in New York City—to see who'd be willing (and what you'd have to do to get them to come out) to come to campus and speak to your organization. You'd be surprised how willing people are to do such things, especially if the school or an organization will foot some—or all—of the bill.
Panels: Everyone loves a panel—you get to hear lots of different points of view on one topic. You can go about setting up a panel on whatever you want. Make it practical by having students who just came back from summer internships sit on a "What I Did Last Summer" panel. They can talk about how they scored their internships and then what they did on a daily basis. Plus, they can dole out tons of tips! Or make a panel full of whatever local magazine editors are nearby. Seriously, people love to hear themselves talk, so they'll be flattered to come sit on a panel for 90 minutes some evening. Or make a panel that's more issue-oriented, say about the state of diversity in magazines and media. Have some local talking heads, students, and professors, etc. sit on the panel and talk up the subject. Basically, you can do whatever you'd like—have fun with it!
Happy Hours: Ed in New York City is famous for his nearly monthly happy hours, where mag industry types get together to chat. This is a format that can easily be modified for Ed on Campus. Basically, it's just a social event. It may not be appropriate to have something called a "happy hour" at your school, but just veil it as something else. Hold a get-together at a local diner or coffee shop. Tell people to bring their favorite magazine. The chapter at The College of New Jersey met at Applebee's every month to just chat about magazines, their internships and just their ideas in general (a very laid-back social get-together!). Or hold a straight-up happy hour if that seems to work on your campus. These things should be casual, get-to-know-you events where people can "network" (but not in that gross, networking type way, you know?). Invite local professionals—or coordinate and plan with them—in the magazine industry if it makes sense.
Magazine Swaps: For something fun to do, have a social event that's set up as a magazine swap. Just tell students to bring issues of magazines they've read and are ready to part with. Then, it's literally as easy as a swap! Bring an issue of Esquire; take a copy of Real Simple. Plus, this kind of thing lends itself to lots of great conversation.
Virtual Resume Workshops: This is one of Ed's signature activities. Chapters submit their resumes to Elizabeth, and we have a variety of magazine editors critique them. It's one of the most rewarding ways to get feedback on your resumes—and from exactly the type of person who'd be hiring you for an internship or job down the road! So the advice is rock-solid. There are two cycles for resume submissions: one in the fall and one in the spring. Check the Ed on Campus site for deadlines and procedures.
Book Clubs: This type of activity tends to work better when you're not in college and don't have required reading, but if your members are looking for some pleasure reading, why not start a book club for mag-related titles? Could be fun to do a book a semester. There are tons of magazine-related books out there.
Trip to New York City: Bringing your Ed on Campus chapter to New York City is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Planning such a trip, however, is quite difficult! But that isn't to say it can't be done. Many schools come through the city every year and stop by all the big publishers, meet with magazine editors, etc. Karen is happy to try to help plan this as much as possible (or at least put you in touch with the right people).
What about other events and activities? What else can I do? What else should I be doing?
Seriously, the sky is the limit! The events listed above are just a few of the things that have worked for Ed on Campus chapters before. But like we've said before, every campus is different. What works best on yours? Only you can know that! So be creative and come up with magazine-related events that your members will love.
How do I get a speaker or well-respected magazine editor to come to campus?
Ask! You won't know unless you try, so get that pitch ready. Luckily, a lot of high-up magazine people remember what it was like starting out. Let 'em know that Ed on Campus is a community of collegiate magazine editor wannabes who want to learn more about the industry. Wash, rinse, and repeat. Who'd say no to that? Also, talk to professors who've been teaching on campus for a while or your school's alumni office to see what alums might be working in the industry now. Those are the best people to hit up for speaking engagements because they have an instant allegiance to your school. Also, we at Ed in NYC might be able to help you, too, so check in with us if bringing a speaker to campus is something you'd like to try. We can see who we know that'd be willing to make a trip out to your school. Again, we said we'll try—sometimes it's hard to get someone to go to Morgantown, West Virginia, but it has happened!
Can I confab with other Ed on Campus presidents at other universities?
Yep, and we encourage it. You can find contact information for other chapters on the Ed on Campus homepage. You'll find links to each chapter's social media platforms or email addresses. If you have any questions regarding this contact information, shoot Rachel an email and she can help you out.
Is Ed really just magazines? What about books? What about other forms of journalism?
Yep, only magazines—and magazine editorial, at that. It's not that we don't want to include others, it just works best for us to focus on helping people who want to break into and further their career in magazine editorial (that's where our expertise lies, after all). Please keep events mag edit-oriented only.
Well, first off, you'll be helping people at your school network, gain confidence by meeting new people, make new friends, and possibly find an internship. Ed on Campus is really all about giving back—and spreading the gospel of magazines. You'll demystify the industry for yourself and others. Magazines are just plain fun to talk about, too. Plus, you'll likely make tons of contacts, so you may score an internship or a job—who knows! Also, don't forget that you can add your involvement with Ed to your resume. The editor you're interviewing with for that amazing internship may just be a friend of Ed and hire you on the spot because he or she sees that you, too, are involved with Ed.
What do I do when people ask questions about the magazine industry, internships, etc. that I don't know about?
If your Edsters ask you questions like, "How do I get an internship?" or some such that you don't feel up to answering—or don't know how to answer exactly—direct them to our site. There's even a channel specifically for advice that is chock full of Ed answers to questions like: "Can college grads apply for assistant editor gigs?" and "Can I decline an internship I've already accepted?" There's also lots of advice from big-name editors-in-chief up there. Cool!
I'm hoping to move to New York City and work in magazines one day, but I'm at college out here stuck in Nowheresville. How do I—and my campus members—stay in the loop with the goings-on of Ed in NYC?
You can keep up to date with Ed happenings via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. See you there!

The NM Political Report (https://nmpoliticalreport.com/2017/01/21/photos-albuquerque-womens-march/)
[PHOTOS] Albuquerque Women's March
By Andy Lyman and Joey Peters | January 21, 2017
Andy Lyman
Crowd at the Albuquerque Women's March in January, 2017.
An estimated 6,000 people showed up in Albuquerque's Civic Plaza Saturday to join in a nationwide women's march against newly sworn-in President Donald Trump.
Below, NM Political Report caught up with a few of the protestors.
Anna, pictured right: "I'm here because I don't like the new president. I'm living here temporarily, but I still think that I can't not protest again him. There are so many things I dislike about him. The whole thing on Planned Parenthood, that it's being threatened. It is just ridiculous. Don't go backwards. And he's disrespectful. He mocks people."
Stef, pictured left: "I'm here to fight back against the anti-left sentiment currently in politics. I think the worst thing is [Trump's] lack of preparedness. He doesn't know what he's doing and he's appointing people who also don't know what they're doing. Or worse, they do know what they're doing and it's not good."
Janet, pictured left: "I'm a scientist, so I dislike his denial of information that the vast majority of scientists in the world agree to be true. And he just denies it. But I also just dislike that he seems to encourage—even if he doesn't say it in so many words—he encourages people to hate and discriminate between people who are different, and I don't have any place for that in my world."
Dave, pictured right: "There's too many things (to say about why I don't like Trump). I could start off by saying arrogance. Extreme arrogance. He thinks he can get away with everything that he's been doing."
Joanie, pictured left: "My major issue is the environment, so I'm really concerned about his non-believing in climate change and how that's going to affect us on an individual level in this country."
Helena, pictured right: "A big one that frightens me is he seems to want to deregulate everything, and that bothers me especially. And the second thing is, I really believe that everybody's created equal. And when he starts talking about LGBT rights, all of that stuff, I want to punch him."
Former Lt. Gov. Diane Denish: "Yesterday the devil whispered in our ear, 'You are not strong enough to stand the storm.' Today we whisper back, 'We are the storm.'"
More scenes from the event are pictured below.

A cannabis legalization bill passed its first committee Tuesday. The Senate Public Affairs voted 4-3 along party lines to pass SB 115 after hours of public comment and debate between lawmakers. Even though a number of people spoke against legalization, they were largely outnumbered by those in favor of it. For the most part, those who spoke out in opposition said they were concerned about safety and health issues like driving while impaired and addiction. The bill's sponsor and the committee chair, Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, did not present the bill.

COVID-19 Collaboration Efforts – Amish and Mennonite Communities
The Grey Bruce Health Unit has traditionally had a collaborative relationship with our Amish and Mennonite communities. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have continued to build on this relationship. As the number of COVID-19 cases continue to grow throughout the province and in Grey and Bruce Counties, we want to remind everyone that COVID-19 has no boundaries, and does not care where you live. As a result, COVID-19 has reached every corner of Grey and Bruce to date including the Amish and Mennonite communities.
COVID-19 News Back to video
In order to help with this situation, many Mennonite and Amish community Elders and leaders have chosen to cancel school and church gatherings for various timeframes (1-2 weeks) and are in direct communication with each other and the Grey Bruce Health Unit. In collaboration with the Grey Bruce Health Unit, community distribution of COVID-19 prevention information is taking place. This includes Elders sharing all COVID-19 information with their community, and asking all people with symptoms to isolate at home until resolved.
The Grey Bruce Health Unit currently has capacity to ensure people who acquire COVID-19 locally receive case and contact management within 24 hours. Our collaborative efforts with Amish and Mennonite communities has ensured case and contact management within the same target time frame is met.
The Grey Bruce Health Unit's School Health Team is working with many school leaders within these communities to assess COVID-19 related needs, and will act accordingly to ensure that knowledge and resources are shared with community schools as required (masks, hand sanitizer, educational resources).
COVID-19 requires us all to stay in this together. Now is the time to collaborate, not divide. We are eager to continue our efforts within these vital and vibrant communities and offer advice and support to the various communities, in the same way we collaborate with all municipalities within Grey and Bruce. It is only with this collaborative approach that we can get through this challenging time.
COVID-19 on the Rise – Back to the Basics
Over the past weeks, there has been an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Grey-Bruce – as of November 18th there were 42 active cases, and close to 200 active high risk contacts in Grey and Bruce Counties. In addition, there has been a significant increase in the average number of close contacts for each case in the second wave compared to the first wave. The increases in these numbers are cumulative. If the trend continues, the case and contact management capacity, that we need to maintain control over the situation, will be challenged.
Based on the increase in numbers, most likely, the Grey Bruce Health Unit will be moving from the Green to the Yellow level of the Ontario's COVID-19 colour-coded framework in the imminent future. This means greater restrictions and enhanced enforcement – including operational restrictions on bars and restaurants, sports and recreational facilities, personal care services, retail spaces and other businesses – an outcome that none of us desires. Collectively, it is in our control to change course.
The increase in numbers is most likely an indication of people lowering their guards due to COVID fatigue; fatigue in maintaining essential public health prevention measures. It is important, as we enter the winter months that we re-focus our energy on the basic measures that we can control, and that are most effective at keeping us, and people around us safe – the same ones that got us through the first wave. These measures, including the 3 Ws are:
-Wash your hands frequently
-Watch your distance (ideally 2 m)
-Wear your face covering correctly
-Avoid Crowds
-Arrange for outdoor activities instead of indoors whenever possible
-Stay home if you are sick
-Avoid close contact (unprotected contact within 6ft of each other) with those from outside your household
-Avoid travel to areas with higher transmission and minimize non-essential travel
-Be kind, be calm, be safe
-Stay informed
"Some people say we are done with the virus. The truth of the matter, the virus is not done with us." Said Top Grey Bruce Doctor "The virus is not going to stop, until we stop it". It is critical that we stay focused on preventing the spread of the virus, and work together to protect the most vulnerable of us.

Flu Vaccine Availability in Grey Bruce
The overwhelming community support to the public health message for all of us to receive the flu vaccinations continues to be a remarkable success. However, this increasing demand has led to intermittent gaps in the supply. The Ministry of Health advises that there may be times when the influenza vaccine is temporarily unavailable due to the unprecedented demand for the influenza vaccine. Ordering restrictions are in place to ensure that all locations have access to the influenza vaccine.
At this time, influenza vaccine doses will not be available in all locations across the province. Supplies are being replenished on an ongoing basis. Please check with your local pharmacy or health care provider for local availability.
Of note, there are two separate distribution systems for the flu vaccine:
The first one, as you know, is to pharmacies directly from the Ministry of health/ national supplier. Local health unit has no authority to distribute to pharmacies. The role of public health in supporting this system is by reviewing fridge temperature logs, investigate cold chain incidents. The distribution of flu vaccines to pharmacies is not the responsibility of public health.
The second one is through public health to hospitals, primary care, long term care, and other health care providers. The supplies of vaccine through this system have been steady, and continue to come in and distributed to health care providers and others as they arrive
Initial shipments of flu vaccine were earmarked for those at high-risk, including young children, older adults and residents of long-term care and retirement homes. A significant proportion of those populations have been successfully vaccinated.
The two pillars of this success have been the work of our pharmacy partners, and the proactive collaboration between public health and some of the family health teams. For example, the Peninsula Family Health Team worked closely with Public Health to ensure that their request of 1,000 doses for their eight community immunization clinics were received on time to help immunize the residents of the Bruce Peninsula.
We encourage all health care providers in Grey and Bruce to help in handling the load and contributing to this success.


Online driver's education course for people 18 and over?
So, a little background info. I am 20 and I live in California, and I don't have my license or know how to drive. I have looked everywhere online and for some reason can't seem to find it… so I figured I'd ask here.
Nonprofit, online elementary education degree?
Is having an online highschool education looked down upon from colleges?
is there a free high school education program online?
Education level applying for retail jobs online?
I will I receive the same education online?
Do I need BOTH drivers education AND driving instructor classes to get my learners permit?
This is in California btw. Im 17 and I already completed my driving education classes online and I received a slip that says certificate of completion. But after reading online im confused about whether I need BOTH that slip AND to take additional driving instructor classes too? Thankyou for helping.
Anyone know a good online drivers ed class website?
i need an online drivers education that is affordable also. My parents wanted me to search for one, but honestly i dont really know what im looking for in choosing one, help?


No one can question that handwriting is rapidly becoming a dying art. After all, you just need to take a look around. It is hard to find a business that runs without using a computer. And if you look at high schools and even elementary schools, kids are led to typing courses since these are seen as crucial.
Technology has changed our society and the way we learn and study. However, this doesn't mean that we should ditch everything that is "old" such as handwriting. In fact, according to science, handwriting has a lot of benefits. If you don't believe us, just take Harvard's University as an example. Harvard teachers don't allow their students to take notes on their computers. They are only allowed to take notes by using a pen and paper.
There are already many different published studies that clearly show that handwriting allows you to improve your critical thinking, your focus, and it can even inspire creativity.
How Handwriting Can Make You Smarter?
There are many different studies published that concluded that when you take notes by hand, you will be able to retain information longer. So, you will also get better at answering conceptual questions faster.
Discover the best fountain pens.
Even if you never noticed, the reality is that you are a lot more focused on what you are writing when you are doing it by hand rather than when you are typing on a keyboard. So, this can be a great way to learn and even to recall.
Between social media networks, emails, and constant notifications, it is easy to get distracted when you're in your computer. So, when you are handwriting, you will be able to avoid all these online distractions and focus only on what you are doing.
Harvard teachers understand the benefits of handwriting and this is the reason why they only allow their students to take notes by hand. The truth is that even though you are faster typing on your keyboard than writing by hand, your notes will be different. When you type your notes you will have a tendency of simply transcribing what is being said. On the other hand, when you are handwriting, you will capture the most important points only.
Do you prefer writing with a ballpoint pen?
When you are looking for a good idea for a project, it is normal that you simply sit down and use just a pen and a paper to conceive it. This way, you will be avoiding distractions and you are letting your mind work.
It's not by chance that journaling is becoming increasingly popular. More and more people need to focus and look for ideas that can help them. One of them is to keep a journal where they annotate their thoughts and goals.

CARE consultants provide support to the school district during parent meetings by providing training to staff on research-based, best practice interventions and data collection procedures that will provide parents all of the information needed to ensure their student is in a productive and nurturing environment.
Our consultants will facilitate the development and implementation of parent trainings provided by personnel who are knowledgeable about topics that are relevant to parents in Spanish and in English. They will also model for staff members how to develop and conduct effective parent meetings and support groups within the public school system.
CARE consultants have developed trainings to address the needs of families who have children with Autism and related disorders; families and caregivers who have children that exhibit challenging behaviors in the home and community settings. Parent trainings are developed for school districts by conducting needs assessments and/or conducting focus groups with the families and then working with them to develop a priority for trainings.

Reshaping the Idea of the Cyborg - MindMedley. 8 Possible Alternatives To The Turing Test. Evolution Continues.
Brain Simulation
Machine Ethics. The Frame Problem. 1.
Introduction The frame problem originated as a narrowly defined technical problem in logic-based artificial intelligence (AI). But it was taken up in an embellished and modified form by philosophers of mind, and given a wider interpretation. The tension between its origin in the laboratories of AI researchers and its treatment at the hands of philosophers engendered an interesting and sometimes heated debate in the 1980s and 1990s. But since the narrow, technical problem is largely solved, recent discussion has tended to focus less on matters of interpretation and more on the implications of the wider frame problem for cognitive science. 2. Put succinctly, the frame problem in its narrow, technical form is this (McCarthy & Hayes 1969).
Colour(x, c) holds after Paint(x, c) Position(x, p) holds after Move(x, p) Now, suppose we have an initial situation in which Colour(A, Red) and Position(A, House) hold. The main obstacle to doing this is the monotonicity of classical logic. 3. Heideg: 459. Turing farm. Let's think about Cyberpunk future of roachblood humans.
It's obvious that even capsule housing is still a ridiculously expensive thing. Plus you have to pay for nutrients, sanitation, electricity, Internet connection, etc. So, you need to have some work, but in the modern world, the work can be done online, without leaving your living pod. Original idea of "The Matrix" was not humans as batteries, but humans as processing nodes. That's what's going to happen, but due to financial reasons. So, what kind of work will still be available to humans? In "Sleep Dealer", it is remote control of robots. But even this looks obsolete - modern drones are autonomous, they don't require an operator. In a broad sense, it can apply to all computation that has no software equivalent yet. The closest example is CAPTCHA - poor man's Turing test. Leading AI Experts Are Gathering To Improve The Turing Test.
Humans, Version 3.0. Credit: Flickr user Suvcon Where are we humans going, as a species?
If science fiction is any guide, we will genetically evolve like in X-Men, become genetically engineered as in Gattaca, or become cybernetically enhanced like General Grievous in Star Wars. All of these may well be part of the story of our future, but I'm not holding my breath. The first of these—natural selection—is impracticably slow, and there's a plausible case to be made that natural selection has all but stopped acting on us. Genetic engineering could engender marked changes in us, but it requires a scientific bridge between genotypes—an organism's genetic blueprints—and phenotypes, which are the organisms themselves and their suite of abilities. And machine-enhancement is part of our world even today, manifesting in the smartphones and desktop computers most of us rely on each day. Simply put, none of these scenarios are plausible for the immediate future.
But how do I know this is feasible? And culture's trick? Welcome to Life: the singularity, ruined by lawyers. From Philosophy to Math to Engineering. How Much Longer Before Our First AI Catastrophe? As I distinctly recall, some speculated that the Stock Market crash of 1987, was due to high frequency trading by computers, and mindful of this possibility, I think regulators passed laws to prevent computers from trading in that specific pattern again.
I remember something vague about about "throttles" being installed in the trading software that kick in whenever they see a sudden, global spike in the area in which they are trading. These throttles where supposed to slow down trading to a point where human operators could see what was happening and judge whether there was an unintentional feedback loop happening. This was 1987. I don't know if regulators have mandated other changes to computer trading software in the various panics and spikes since then.
But yes, I definitely agree this is very good example where narrow AI got us into trouble. These are all examples of narrow machine intelligence. Obviously no system is going to be perfect. So it goes. Confessions of a Biological Scientist – Part I: The Limits of Meat. Science has proceeded uninterrupted for hundreds of years now, through its progress we have emerged from ignorance and awakened to the reality of our Universe.
But scientific advancement is now retarded by a fundamental problem, the scientists. In the near future something as important as science will no longer be left to imperfect and inefficient biological scientists, but will become be the realm of digital scientists. Why The Scariest Sci-Fi Robot Uprising Has Already Begun. How consciousness works – Michael Graziano. Scientific talks can get a little dry, so I try to mix it up.
I take out my giant hairy orangutan puppet, do some ventriloquism and quickly become entangled in an argument. I'll be explaining my theory about how the brain — a biological machine — generates consciousness.

The Dirt Mile is for 3 year old and up and is for both sexes male and female and is for a purse of $1 million at the Breeders Cup. As it is a dirt race this race is likely to be contested by the home contingent as the Europeans are not keen to take on the American horses on what they consider is their strong suit that is dirt racing.
The European horse Mastercraftsman went in as favourite in 2009 but he was unable to cope on the dirt and was beaten by Furthest Land which highlights the difficulties that European horses have in this race.

The designers at CURVED/labs took up the challenge to figure out what a 30th anniversary version of the iconic Mac Classic might look like. The based their design on the current components of a Macbook Air with an 11-inch screen. However, they transformed it into a touchscreen so you can choose whether to control it via mouse and keyboard or type directly on the 11.6 inch touchscreen. There are also some nice touches like honoring the detail that Steve Jobs wanted the Macintosh to have a face so at the spot located under the screen, where the drive for 3.5-inch disk sat, you will now find a slot for SD cards, the FaceTime camera, speakers and a microphone. All of this makes for one impressive look computer that is a fantastic tribute to the past while reflecting the current state of design.

By allowing one of our professionals to determine your individual needs, they can perform a comprehensive evaluation and develop a coverage and premium quotation. Our goal is to provide the broadest possible protection from a reliable carrier.
We understand that as the owner of a condominium unit, your insurance needs are different from other homeowners. Chances are your association purchased a master policy to cover common areas like the exterior building and walkways. But you are responsible for insuring your individual, personal interests within your unit. You need both personal property and liability insurance.
While your landlord has insurance coverage for the physical dwelling, as a renter, you need insurance to cover your personal property, such as clothing, furniture or electronic equipment, in the event of loss from fire or theft or other perils. Renter's insurance will also protect you if you are responsible for bodily injury or property damage to others, for example, if a visitor trips over a rug and breaks a leg.
You may not be aware that coverage for flood is specifically excluded from your homeowner's policy. Whether you live in a designated flood zone or not, flood coverage for your home is available.
We can help protect your mobile or manufactured home, your belongings and family. The coverage for mobile and manufactured homes is like a homeowners' insurance policy, but there are some differences. You can talk to an agent who can help you understand what a mobile home insurance policy can protect. For your convenience, you may simply call us or complete the quote request form below and we will contact you to review your exact requirements and provide a quote.
As a landlord leasing out your investment property, you have a lot of responsibilities. Finding the right occupants, maintaining the property; the list goes on and on. Worry about one less thing; Rental property insurance protects your property from damages and from losing income. It should also cover the damages that make your property unlivable.

Q: $\pi$-system that generates the $\sigma$-algebra of Borel sets I have the following problem.
Give an example of a $\pi$-system of subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ that generates the $\sigma$-algebra of Borel sets $\mathscr{B}(\mathbb{R})$.
This seems trivial to me. Let C be the collection of all intervals of the form $(-\infty,m]$, where $m \in \mathbb{R}$. This is a $\pi$-system because if $a\in C$ and $b\in C$, then $a\cap b$ will be an interval of the form $(-\infty,m]$, which is in C. Furthermore, $\sigma(C)=\mathscr{B}(\mathbb{R})$, because the $\pi$-system C, itself, can be used to generated the Borel $\sigma$-algebra $\mathscr{B}(\mathbb{R})$.
I am not sure whether I am missing something or the question is just very straighforward.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!

A: Indeed the family sets of the form $(-\infty,a]$ is a $\pi-$system. that generates the Borel sigma algebra.
Off course in this family you have to include the empty set.
Another $\pi-$system which generates Borel is $C=\{(a,b]:a<b\} \cup \{\emptyset\}$

b 1982 (Japan)
Working for over fifteen years from a group studio in his hometown of Osaka, Japan, TOMOYUKI SHINKI has evolved from a private digital maker into a masterful figurative draughtsman, with artworks held in key Asian, American and European collections.
SHINKI studies the physical arc of combat. His technicolour abstractions are snapshots of kinetic tension. They vibrate with affection for an intimate masculine theatre. Yet they transcend the oily musculature and slow-motion it into a still-life.
The artist himself is neither bystander nor participant. He is documentarian, interpreter, witness. His role, to capture the climax. His talent, to freeze its actors in his sharpened gaze. For these graphic records speak as much to the author's personal mobility and daily rituals, as to the sweat, the shout and the melodrama of the ring.
TOMOYUKI SHINKI is exhibited regularly within Japan and by The Museum of Everything in London, Paris, Rotterdam and Tasmania. He was recently selected by artist Grayson Perry to represent his country in the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition 2018.

What can Gracie Jiu-Jitsu do for You?
If you're reading this, chances are you're already involved in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. If you currently train, great! Feel free share this post with your friends and family members who haven't tried this sport. If you don't train, let's see if I can convince you to try a class.
It can provide a cardio workout unlike any you've ever experienced.
Do you run ultra marathons? Swim competitively? Take part in HIIT classes several days a week? Those are all great, grueling activities that require dedication, stamina, and physical exertion. I can't say that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is better than any of those things, but I promise you that it's different, to the degree that physically fit individuals may find themselves gassing out during a five-minute sparring session. Jiu-Jitsu is a different kind of cardio, and chances are it will give you an extra edge in your other sports. In other words, you'll likely increase your overall level of physical fitness by including Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in your routine.
Want to learn more? Check out this article from Breaking Muscle.
It can improve your strength...mentally and physically.
While Gracie Jiu-Jitsu involves more leverage than strength, it's still a physically demanding activity. In a sport where you are literally moving and manipulating your opponent's body, you shouldn't be surprised if you start gaining muscle.
Then of course there's the mental aspect. Jiu-Jitsu is hard. Sure, there will be training days when you'll go home feeling confident and strong, but there will also be days when you're completely frustrated. This - along with learning to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations, fighting nervousness when competing, and training with people who are bigger and stronger than you - will help build mental toughness.
It will likely provide you with a second family.
Chances are your Gracie Jiu-Jitsu teammates will become more than just the people you train with. This sport tends to attract an awesome, diverse group of people with big personalities. At Relson Gracie Connecticut, we do more than just train; we laugh together, support each other, and forge friendships that extend beyond the mats. This can be attributed mostly to common interest, the trust required to spar with another person, and the tendency for this sport to filter out individuals with massive egos. If you decide to start training Jiu-Jitsu, be prepared to make new friends!
It provides a healthy outlet.
This is a big one for a lot of people. Stressed at work? At home? Few things are as effective as Jiu-Jitsu when it comes to dealing with a bad day in a healthy manner. While that stress may come back after you leave the academy, it's difficult to focus on anything but Jiu-Jitsu for the two hours that class is in session. If nothing else, you'll get some endorphins flowing, see your friends, and perhaps even turn your day around because of it.
Last, but not least, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is practical as a form of self-defense. By not relying on punches, kicks, and other techniques in which the bigger, stronger person has the advantage, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu gives its practitioners an edge in the realm of self-defense. It relies upon leverage instead of strength and focuses on bringing the fight to the ground, where Jiu-Jitsu practitioners are comfortable.
These are the top five reasons that come to mind whenever I'm asked why I chose Gracie Jiu-Jitsu as my martial art. In no particular order, I enjoy it as a workout for both the mind and body, a practical form of self-defense, a means to relieve stress, and a place to spend time with some of my favorite people. If you have others, feel free to post them in the comments. And if you'd like to train with our team, contact us today!


Contradictions (2): Which Women Visited Jesus' Tomb?
The gospel accounts of what happened at Jesus' tomb on Easter Sunday are another favorite target of Bible critics. They point to several inconsistencies in the accounts' details to illustrate that the gospels are inaccurate and contradictory.
In fact, a close reading of the text shows neither inaccuracy nor contradiction. Those who use this as a means of tearing down the text's credibility do so either because they're biased and have never actually read the text, or because they are intentionally attempting to deceive others into believing that these accounts are contradictory.
At first blush, these accounts all seem to differ on which women attended Jesus' tomb. Was it just Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, or were they joined by Salome? Or Joanna? Or did Mary Magdalene simply go by herself?
This charge, and others concerning the tomb visit, make the common mistake of assuming "completeness." That is, assuming that every account of something includes every detail about it.2 The gospel accounts were written by different authors, with different styles, for different audiences and purposes. Consequently, there are often differences in the details. These disparities can easily result from distinct personal experiences related to the same incident or from authors simply summarizing stories in different ways where they choose to include or exclude slightly separate details. It is important to note that differences do not equal errors or contradictions.
Specific to the women at the tomb, let's review again what each gospel writer says. First of all, contrary to the charge, all writers agree that there were multiple women present. Matthew, Mark, and Luke specifically mention multiple women. John only mentions Mary Magdalene by name in 20:1. But in 20:2, the very next verse, as Mary recounts her experience to Peter, she says "they have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him." So John's gospel indicates other women were present, even though he chooses to focus specifically on Mary Magdalene.
But do the gospels agree on which women were present? Matthew, Mark, and Luke all agree that two Mary's were present. Mark includes Salome and Luke includes Joanna. However, Luke also says "and the other women with them" which would easily include Salome too. As mentioned before, John clearly indicates the presence of other women, but does not name them specifically. Ultimately, we have separate accounts that agree on multiple women, though none of them attempts to give a complete list of who they were. This is typical of eyewitness testimony. None of the accounts are identical to one another, but we shouldn't expect them to be. They are, however, all consistent with one another.
We can say, at most, that the gospel accounts are incomplete in their details on this particular point, but we cannot say they are in error. This is an important distinction. Christians claim the Bible is accurate and without error. But they have never claimed that it provides every detail about every story. When critics make claims of error or contradiction based on this mistaken assumption, they hold the Bible to a false and unfair standard. The fact is, most of the allegations of error or contradiction in the New Testament accounts can be addressed just as easily as this one.

Biggies at Bertram owner Paul Crozier could not find a buyer for the underground bar, and has had to sell his house to settle outstanding debts.
From bible society to stamp-collecting shop to basement bar, we've always felt Biggies at Bertram was one of Adelaide's best venue transformations. But after just two years, owners Paul and Kay Crozier have called last drinks. The team announced the closure on Facebook on Wednesday afternoon.
Although it's come to an ugly end – he's had to sell his house and appear in court to settle outstanding debts – Paul says he doesn't regret a thing.
"You always want to have a go at having your own bar – and I got it," an upbeat but tired-sounding Paul told Broadsheet.
"It was amazing [for] the first 12 months," he continues. "We were flying. We were on top of the world." The place was busy, the energy was good and he got to pick all the music. He was surrounded by friends and always making new ones. "Everyone wants to party with the owners," he says. But that took its toll.
After 18 months, Paul needed time away from the scene. He moved to Western Australia and placed Biggies under new management, which didn't go well. The business fell behind and, "with the Henry Austin and Propaganda shutting in the last 12 months, we lost a lot of our foot traffic," he explains. The business also struggled to support a full-time manager (Paul had previously been operating the bar).
Paul returned to Adelaide and made the difficult choice to put his bar on the market. Despite healthy interest, a buyer could not be found, and Biggies dropped the needle for the final time Wednesday night.
The underground hideaway, below Coromandel Place, was part of Renew Adelaide's work reactivating dormant tenancies. It quickly developed a dedicated following for its vinyl-only music nights specialising in hip-hop, funk, disco and soul.
The Renew program champions new ideas. Some last and some don't. Crozier admits he'd probably do a few things differently, given the opportunity, but won't be deterred from having another crack – eventually.


Anyone who knows this couple is urged to contact investigating officers at Braintree police station on 101.
RESIDENTS and retailers in north Essex are being urged to be on the look-out for two thieves as police release images of the couple in a bid to identify them.
The man and woman entered Petersfield Antique Village on Petersfield Lane, Gosfield, at 10am on Monday March 18 and stole a china dog.
Investigating officer, Pc Michelle Brown, said: "We believe this couple live locally and possibly in the Gosfield to Colchester strip in the north of the county as they were recently spotted acting suspiciously in a department store in Colchester.
"We think they are professional thieves so are warning retailers to be wary of them while at the same time asking people to contact us if they know who they are.
The man is described as white, 6ft tall, in his early-mid 40s, short dark hair which is greying, speaks with a local accent and at the time was wearing a leather jacket and heeled boots.
The woman is described as white, is in his mid 40s, has shoulder-length dark brown hair and was wearing a three-quarter-length quilted jacket.
